The Play Village Ashbourne

By The Play Village Ashbourne

Put simply, role play is pretending to be somebody, pretending to do something, or pretending to be somewhere else. Or, all three! It’s a really important and enjoyable way to learn something new. Think about it. HR and training professionals worldwide use it as an engaging technique to instil new skills in adults. For example, when you’re acting out a customer complaint, to learn how to handle a tricky situation. Children do it naturally, because it’s so much fun! But, in certain environments, the art of role play can be encouraged further to bring little imaginations to life. Unlike soft play centres, The Play Village isn’t a place to run around – climbing and letting off steam. It’s a magical learning environment where imagination rules. Here, you and your children are free to explore our eight play pods that represent life-like settings. Everything from a fire station to a hairdressing salon. Using play props and costumes, your child can pretend to care for a sick patient in our make-believe hospital. Or, impersonate a bossy business leader in our fictitious office.
