The Role of Play in Building Social Skills Among Children

Mumma, Let’s Play Together and Make Friends! 

Did you know that playing helps me learn how to talk, share, and make friends? Every time I play, I practice important social skills that will help me in school and life! 

  

How Play Builds My Social Skills: 

  • Encourages Communication: I learn new words and how to express myself. 

  • Teaches Cooperation: Taking turns and sharing teach me how to get along with others. 

  • Boosts Emotional Understanding: Playing pretend helps me understand feelings like kindness, patience, and empathy. 

  • Builds Confidence: The more I interact, the more comfortable I feel around others!

Role-Playing with Dolls & Figures: I love making up stories with my toys!
