Imaginative play allows children to role play and act out experiences they have had or interests them. Through imaginative play, children learn social skills and how to make decisions by experimenting with different behaviors. Role play supports children's emotional, social, language, cognitive, and physical development. In placement settings, imaginative play can involve using props like boxes, role playing as different people, and pretending to be in everyday or fantasy situations. Adults can support imaginative play by providing open-ended resources in a planned environment, but should allow children to play creatively without interference.
The document discusses strategies for promoting positive behavior and development in children. It emphasizes building relationships, teaching social and emotional skills, creating a supportive classroom environment, and using positive reinforcement.

Here are some accessible activities:
- Group games like tag that can be modified for different abilities levels with visual or physical prompts
- Movement games to music like musical chairs that don't require running
- Creative arts activities that emphasize participation over product quality
- Games incorporating props or visuals to make rules clear for all
The key is finding ways for all campers to participate, compete, and feel successful through modification and emphasis on teamwork over "winning."
