Dramatic Play Center Chinese Restaurant
Do you struggle to find time to change out the props in your dramatic play center? These printable props will help you easily transform your dramatic play center into a Chinese Restaurant. Provide your students with dramatic play experiences that include multiculturalism.
The Chinese Restaurant kit can be used at any time during the school year, but will be especially helpful to support learning about the Lunar New Year or other holidays such as the Moon Festival in the fall.
This packet also provides research that explains how dramatic play supports academic learning in preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten. The Chinese Restaurant play kit is infused with literacy, math, and writing opportunities that support current learning standards.
