Pretend Play Games
A child’s pretend play in classrooms or at home is often considered fun and imaginative, but with limited educational value. Through pretend play, children learn to express themselves and do things like negotiate, consider others’ perspectives, and listen to thoughts and ideas, assign tasks and roles.
Encourage imaginative play with our collection of pretend play games for Android and iOS devices.
