Question

question is:

Identify the play stages you will observe children in 3-5 year old age group. Also include how you will support these stages of paly in regard to resources and set up of your enviroment

Answer 1

They would be solitary play, parallel play, and cooperative play.  You would need to set up situations for each type of play.  I think each one is self-explanatory, so think about what you have been learning in your program, and apply it to each of these stages.  This site gives a little information.  If you do a search for each stage, you should get more information.  Best of luck with it.

Answer 2

You need to spend more time perfecting your communication skills before you can take on the responsibility of caring for children.

Answer 3

Solitary, Parallel, Associative and Co-operative.

Children in this age group will demonstrate many of these categories.

Solitary- provide quiet areas, e.g. reading area, where children can go to be 'alone'

Parallel- Have areas where there is more than one item, but where children can play alongside one another. e.g 2 or more places at the playdough table, each with a cutter, a rolling pin, a ball of playdough

Associative- This is where children play together, but not to a set of rules, e.g building with blocks- children talk together, but don't assign roles, etc

Co-operative- most common in home corner, where roles are assigned, and children play to 'rules'
