Pretend play

Art

• Through pretend play, the 6-7 year old student learns to express creativity by imagining and acting out various roles and scenarios.
• Pretend play fosters imagination and encourages the student to create their own visual representations of characters, settings, and objects.
• By engaging in pretend play, the student develops an understanding of color, shape, and form as they create and interact with imaginary elements within their artwork.
• Through this activity, the student also learns to communicate ideas and emotions through artistic expressions, helping them develop their storytelling and visual narrative skills.

Encourage the student to expand their pretend play by introducing new scenarios, characters, and settings. Provide them with art materials such as crayons, markers, and paper to bring their imaginative creations to life. Support their storytelling by asking open-ended questions about their artwork and encouraging them to explain their artistic choices.
