Inside the classroom we have 3 different role play areas-
1- Vets
The entrance
The reception desk with till, appointment sheets & appointment reminder slips
The pet cages
The surgeons table with light box, x-ray machine
The waiting room
Activities to complete while waiting- drawing and colouring animal pictures- from Twinkl
2- Hospital
The hanging A3 sign made using images from Google
The outside of the hospital with child sized characters blown up to poster size on a colour photocopier
The doctors desk/bed with a chalkboard for appointments and patient notes
The reception area with telephone & appointment book
The house fridge re-purposed as a medicine and supplies cupboard
3- Opticians
A simple cupboard with glasses frames, sunglasses from Primark with lens' removed, on display
IKEA 'eye' test' board & poundshop mirror
All of these role-play areas are fairly simple but with a little bit of modelling, by the adults in the classroom, they have created great enjoyment and have been well used for a few weeks.
