Sociodramatic Play
Sociodramatic Play refers to play involving acting out scripts, scenes, and plays adopted from cartoons, books.
Children take/assume roles using themselves and/or characters like dolls, figures, and puppets as they interact together on common themes. A faciliator may assist ideas for characters, settings or props and use the children's ideas for a story. Typically occurs between 3 - 4 years of age.
