C. Practice-
Work with your group to find 10 pictures of items that can be used
in pretend play. 5 pictures should be actual toys and 5 pictures should
be household items. Sort items into 2 groups. In one group, place
purchased items that often stand for one thing in play, such as a
doll. In another group, place household items that can be many things
in play, such as a box. Place each group of pictures in separate columns
on your paper in order to present your findings to the class. On a
separate sheet of paper, write each item that you found and which
group it was placed in. For the 5 toys, write how they would be used
in pretend play, i.e. a cash register would be used in supermarket
play. For the 5 household items, write what they child could use the
toy as, i.e. a pot could be used as a helmet.
