Question 1
Smilansky suggested the first step in an effective intervention to encourage sociodramatic play in the classroom is to:
◦ observe children's play and identify any individuals who show deficits.
◦ provide rich experiences on which children can base pretend play.
◦ have adults play with the children, taking a key role in guiding the pretense.
◦ provide a play area with props that children can access easily.
Question 2
During play-work, children:
◦ integrate play into their chores.
◦ pretend to do the work of significant adults.
◦ use real-world tools as part of pretending.
◦ embed pretense into structured games.
