Pretend play enhances learning by engaging multiple areas of development simultaneously, including physical, social, emotional, mathematical, musical, language, and literacy skills. Through pretend play with others, the Brilliant Pandas are learning how to transition from concrete physical experiences to more abstract symbolic thinking, such as creating mental images. Their literacy skills are also evolving as they use symbolic thinking and language to structure simple actions into more complex sequences and imaginative scenarios. This lesson strongly emphasises pretend play activities, which simultaneously stimulate various areas of the brain, providing the Brilliant Pandas with valuable opportunities to practice and develop concrete and abstract skills. The approach supports a holistic method of learning, enabling children to grow in multiple developmental domains while having fun.
