Encourage continued development by incorporating props and costumes to make the role-playing experience more immersive. Encourage the child to take turns playing different roles and explore various aspects of school life, such as participating in a school play or organizing a classroom activity. Incorporating writing exercises, such as creating a short story about a school day using the sound "m," can further enhance language development.
