Pretend Play

Imitation is the first stage of pretend play. As imitation evolves it becomes more imaginative. The complexity of pretend play can be seen when the child re-examines life experiences by adding or changing the happening. Benefits of pretend play include:

• vocabulary development
• social skill development
• differentiation between reality and fantasy
• emotional support
