Guest Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Any ideas of what we could include in our beach role play area? Sorry everyone, should have added this with my previous post!!! Tinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I had a beachside cage last year with an ice cream shop and it was very sucessful, I made menus and price lists and the children had clipboards and note pad to take orders. It was rich in mark making and language as well as socially and led to many other discussions it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieL Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 There is a Seaside role play plan in the Resource Library under Resources which is on the left hand side of this page. It may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittycat1279 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I like the idea of a cafe with an ice cream shop - what about a souvenir shop? Could be a home - focus of packing for a seaside holiday with some trick things in there that they obviously won't need. Another idea is that of a submarine if you were going to do something about the underwater creatures. Or an ordinary boat - they could do fishing?

Guest Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 we had our tuff tray in our role play area with sand and buckets and spades (and a shell type paddling pool with water in only when i was feeling very daring and had sweet talked the cleaners!!) They had a selection of sunglasses, suntan lotion bottles and laminated postcards to write on with drywipe pens. We had two wooden deck chairs and beach towels and beach bags and those roll up beach mats. I gave them the digital camera and we made a holiday photograph album with the very interesting pictures taken. Alongside this we hade the usual beach shop with ice creams and buckets and spades etc. This was my favourite role play area last year.

blondie Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) we had a large paddling pool (the one with the soft sides not the blow up type) and filled this with sand and toys- the children loved this as they could sit in and use the sand so felt like they were on the beach - kept it to 4 - 5 children at a time - we found that a lot of children who rarely accessed the sand when in a tray really loved this.they took their socks and shoes off too so really felt like the beach could also go into the pirate play with treasure maps etc Edited April 19, 2009 by blondie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) I'm hoping to have a caravan by the sea for our role play in the summer . Have done the icecream role before and bought some great stickers on e-bay for the outside of the van. We even got the local ice-cream van to come in the carpark one day and the children all brought a purse with 50p and lined up to buy an icecream (it look so cute). This is our boat sailing to a treasure island role play.There was treasure in the chest and buckets and spades. In the boat was a brush and cloth to make a sail.
