Doctor's Office

Doctor's Office

Learning Goals: Literacy, Writing, Writing Conventions, Inventive Spelling, Phonological Awareness

    • If students show interest in the human body, encourage students to create a doctor’s office in the dramatic play centre.
    • First, discuss the resources you need to create the doctor’s office and guide the discussion using prompting questions. Throughout the discussion, modelling writing down student ideas on an easel.

    • Next, provide students with the materials and resources to create the doctor’s office.

    • On an ongoing basis, discuss any changes or additions the class would like to make.

    • During play, students can take on various roles such as doctor, nurse, patient, and receptionist.

    • Educators can extend the play by introducing the idea of an x-ray machine and related materials. Students can learn how x-ray machines help patients and create their own x-rays throughout their play.

We are the Play Learning Lab, run by Dr. Angela Pyle at the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto.
