This fun and engaging sports training camp themed pretend play center encourages students to play imaginary roles of being a sports player. Students will engage in literacy, self-regulation, fine/gross motor skills, and social skills.

What is dramatic play?

It’s the kind of play where kids take on roles and act them out as a way of exploring themselves and their surroundings. By pretending to be someone—or something—else, children can learn new ways to express themselves, share thoughts and ideas, and even get in touch with their feelings.

Dramatic play is a very important part of childhood development. Students will engage in literacy, self-regulation, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and social skills. They will be interacting with one another in positive ways and learning so much without realizing it!

Here's what you'll get:

• Exercise Cards - Run, Jumping Jacks, Push Ups, Leg Raises, Hula Hoops, Jumping Rope, Leg Balance, Side Plank, Squats, Curl Ups
• Training Camp Record
• Certificate of Achievement
• Water Station & Snack Station Signs
• Printable Stickers

All of the hard work is done for you. Simply print the LOW PREP pages and laminate for use year after year.

You can add hard goods to make it more interactive.
