Children love trying out different roles for themselves. Whether it‘s a princess, knight, policeman, doctor or animal. Their imagination is constantly stimulated based on their age and the world around them. Role play is a key component of children‘s development and has a strong effect on them. As most games are played with friends, teachers or parents, these games quickly become part of the children‘s social interactions. This thus encourages children to try new patterns of behaviour, ways of speaking, and creative ideas. Everyone involved shows different emotions and behaviours; these all require a reaction. Role play enables children to immerse themselves
in other worlds and characters and express their ability to act independently.
