Looking for a fun way to get your students practicing social skills through dramatic pretend play? This apple stands dramatic pretend play set is perfect to incorporate into an apple-themed unit during the fall through playing imaginary roles of working at an apple stand.

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:

• Apple Stand Banner (in color and black/white for students to color)
• Welcome/Open Sign
• Sorry/Closed Sign
• 8 Signs (golden delicious, apple cider doughnut, apple vinegar, homemade apple pie, caramel apple, gala, apple sauce, granny smith)
• Apple Stand Prices Sign
• Apple Stand Hours of Operations Sign
• Pay Here Sign
• Weigh Here Sign
• Pretend Money
• Storage/Organization Label

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

Optionally you can add hard goods to make it more interactive. For example, toy apples, cash register, scale, play money, etc.
