Question 1
A child is playing an elaborate make believe theme in a cardboard box on the playground. She announces that the box is "a queen's castle." This is the best example of which of the following?
◦ sociodramatic play
◦ construction play
◦ self-as-agent simple pretense
◦ a playful circular reaction
Question 2
A teacher observes two children playing house and notices that a third is having some difficulty incorporating herself into the game. According to Smilansky's approach, what would be the best way for the teacher to intervene?
◦ Suggest a different game, which will give the child a chance to participate from the beginning.
◦ Involve herself in the game for as long as the children play, so that she can maximize her ability to help the third child participate.
◦ Intervene for a short time, to help the third child become involved, and then allow the children to continue to play on their own.
◦ Introduce props or costumes, which will make it easier for the third child to find a way to become involved.
