There's no doubt that dramatic play and creative movement are both essential for a healthy early childhood education. Here is a lesson that promotes both. Youngsters think of activities and emotions. The words are written on pieces of paper and dropped in a container. When kids take turns picking out the paper, they act out the emotion or activity they have chosen. Very nice!
