Small World Area

The role play story telling elements of small world make it an exciting and interesting area of the classroom to learn. Children are able to create their own stories using figures and resources and often create a running commentary on their play. Children have the opportunity to play both along side and cooperatively with other children as this is a very popular area of the classroom.

Children practise their sharing and turn taking naturally within small world and have to resolve any conflicts or problems which may arise during play. New topic related worlds and vocabulary can be introduced during small world play in order to extend children’s vocabulary.
