Vet Checklist for Pretend Play
Vet Checklist for Pretend Play
These are some printable props that will come in handy when your kids will pretend to be vets. I suggest laminating the name tags, the open signs, and the checklist (for durability). To make the game more realistic, you can use other props: a medical carrycase, a doctor costume, toys, a small bed, band aids, blankets, etc.
For more information, please download the preview.
Have fun!

Teaching style
I prefer the child-centered approach to teaching: children learn better if they actively participate in the learning process, not just by observing what the teacher is doing.
