What is Dramatic Play?
We take a sharp departure from community helper, teacher-shaped delivery and packaged dramatic play -- that is not the scaffolding we are looking for -- and this departure takes us down a path that is not always a sunny, little place of a brick-solid house with garden. Mostly, our dramatic play is built of sticks and how fabulous is it when it holds? And falls?!?
Play Messages
Every afternoon for the last two weeks, the wall goes up in the Teahouse. Every morning the wall gets knocked down. "Hello? Anybody home?" Play is calling.
What We Know
It would be so lovely to move closer and hang on each word. We know that each word is like a jewel and this shared moment is cluster of diamonds. Their ideas have depth and insight, but mostly they have joy, and we can't even hear them!
