Explanation:
I will have one circle table set up with a tablecloth on top. There will be
two cups, two napkins, two spoons, and two forks on the table. There will be two menus
with pictures placed on top of the table for the children who are playing the customers. In
the dramatic play kit there will be two chef aprons and two chef hats for the children who
are playing the chefs, two waiter/waitress aprons and two order notepads for the children
who are playing a waiter or waitress, and pretend money for the children playing as the
customers. The children will choose what role they would like to be, and once that is
settled the children playing as the customer would take a seat at the table, look over the
menu, and choose what they want. The children playing as the waiter or waitress will
take their order, pour them pretend water, and hand the order to the children playing as
the chefs. The children playing as the chef would cook that order at the stove that is put
on the side, but not too far from everybody else, and pass it to the waiter or waitress to
give it to the children playing as the customer. The children playing as the customer pays
for the food when they are done eating. They would give the pretend money to the
children playing as a waiter or waitress, and they place that into a cash register that is
near the front of the restarant. The children playing as a waiter or waitress can give
change to the customers, and send them on their way. The children can then switch roles,
so they can all have a turn being a different restaurant role.

Equity Filters:
-
The restaurant dramatic play activity is an unbiased activity that encourages equal
participation for both the boys and girls. This activity allows children to engage in
imaginative play, where they take on different roles such as chefs, waiters, or
customers in a restaurant setting. Both boys and girls can take on any role they
want in the restaurant setting, without any gender stereotypes. For example, a boy
can pretend to be a chef while a girl can act as a customer or vice versa. This
promotes the idea that anyone can pursue their interests regardless of their gender.
In conclusion, the restaurant dramatic play activity is an unbiased platform that
allows both boys and girls to participate equally. The restaurant dramatic play
activity is also an inclusive activity that allows children of all ethnic groups to
engage in imaginative play. The restaurant dramatic play activity encourages
children to accept our differences in culture and ethnicity by putting different
ethnic foods into their pretend menus. By including these diverse food options,
children are exposed to different cultures and are encouraged to appreciate and
respect them. This restaurant dramatic play activity also encourages cooperation
among children from different ethnic groups. They can work together as a team to
set up the restaurant area, and help out one another. In conclusion, the restaurant
dramatic play activity is an unbiased way for all ethnic groups to engage in
imaginative play.

To accommodate children with auditory difficulties, I can create a quiet and calm
environment. Background noise can sometimes be overwhelming for children
with auditory difficulties, so reducing loud noises is important. This can be
achieved by choosing an area away from loud music or other noisy activities and
just having a small group of children playing at a time. Visual aids should be
incorporated into the restaurant dramatic play activity. I can provide menus with
pictures next to the item or visual cues that can help children understand and
follow instructions without relying only on verbal communication. Simple
gestures such as pointing at objects or using hand signals for basic needs like
water or napkins enable effective interaction without depending only on verbal
communication. This will encourage them to participate more independently and
feel included in the restaurant dramatic play activity.

Planned Possibilities:
-
Children may argue about not wanting to take turns when playing different roles.
If I am faced with this situation, I would intervene if they do not resolve it within
themselves. I would remain calm and ask the child who does not want to take
turns if they would like to try to be a different role, play with the other props, and
let their friends try to be their role. I can let that child know that afterwards they

can become this role again after their friend has taken a turn. I would then
demonstrate how to take turns in a calm and patient way so the child can see how
to take turns and how it’s not too bad. By showing how taking turns is not that
bad, the child may follow and want to take turns on their own.
-
Children may start to throw the pretend ingredients. I would remain calm and
collected when addressing the child’s behavior. I would explain that throwing the
pretend ingredients is not acceptable behavior in the restaurant, and how unsafe it
can be towards themselves and their friends. I would start to redirect their
attention towards more appropriate ways of engaging in the restaurant dramatic
play activity. I would redirect them by encouraging them to try different roles
within the restaurant, and they may enjoy that role way more.

Goal:
The goal of the restaurant dramatic play activity is to provide children with an
opportunity to engage in imaginative and pretend play while also developing different
skills. This activity allows children to take on different roles such as chefs, waiters, and
customers, allowing them to explore different restaurants and the food service.
10. Objectives:
-
Physical: The children will practice their gross motor coordination when they set
up the restaurant by moving the furniture around and decorating the pretend
restaurant the way they want to.
-
Physical: The children will develop fine motor coordination when they pretend to
be chefs, customers, and waiters or waitresses and they handle small objects such
as the utensils, plates, and cups.
-
Cognitive: The children will demonstrate their problem solving skills when they
have to think about how to set up the restaurant and when they have to assign
roles among themselves.
-
Cognitive: The children will show their use of language to communicate their
needs when they pretend to be customers and state what they want to the waiter or
waitress and what their preferences are when ordering food off the picture menu.
-
Social: The children will display their ability to take turns when they switch roles
after a certain period of time or when one of their peers wants to switch roles.
-
Social: Children will demonstrate the relationship and social interaction with
adults and children when they go towards an adult or child that is acting as a
customer and greet them with a friendly greeting and ask for their order in a polite
way.
-
Emotional: The children will show choice making when they decide what role
they want to play in the restaurant.
-
Creative: The children will use their imagination when they pretend to be waiters
or waitresses and they take orders from the children playing as customers, or
when they pretend to be chefs preparing meals in the kitchen.
11. Open Ended Questions:
-
What kind of food would you like to serve or cook in your restaurant? Why?
-
What was your favorite role that you played in the restaurant? Why?
-
How did you feel when you were the waiter/waitress, customer, or chef?
12. Variations or Extensions:
One activity that might naturally follow from the restaurant
dramatic play activity is making your own menu activity. Children can use their
imagination to design their own menus, with descriptions and colorful pictures that they
will draw themselves. Another activity that might naturally follow from the restaurant
dramatic play activity is math activities. Children can engage in math activities related to
the restaurant theme. They can practice counting money as they set the prices for the food
and drinks on their menu or calculate totals for customers' orders.
