DOCTOR’S OFFICE [By: Brienna Hirsch]
Target Age: Kindergartners
Materials & Criteria: High Initial Interest—Every child in the classroom has been to the doctor
at some point in his or her early life (or at least in most cases). For children who tend to spend a
lot of their time at the doctor’s office or the hospital due to health issues, this gives them a
chance to be on the other side of the bed and have an idea of what the doctor’s job is like and
could potentially help them feel more comfortable in this setting.
Minimal Adult Supervision—With everything in my box being plastic, fairly large in size, and
typical items found at a doctor’s office, I won’t need to really watch the children as they play.
While adult supervision is still necessary, it is minimized by having safe objects and checking up
on the children once in awhile.
Encourage Cooperative Play—Whenever anyone plays “doctor,” they always like to play with a
friend because then they can pretend to give each other checkups, prescribe medications, give
shots, or have one person be a doctor and the other a nurse as they perform a surgery on the doll.
Durability—Everything that I have put into my prop box are things that I have had since I was a
young child. Everything minus the X-Ray machine still works and the little crank on the
Babyland bed. However, nothing has really broken over the years and I’m not too concerned
about them being able to break anything.
Safety—Everything in my box is plastic and there are no sharp points that I would be concerned
about as the children played with the items provided in my box.
Diversity: One of the most obvious diversified items in my box is the book, Those Mean Nasty
Dirty Downright Disgusting but…Invisible Germs. This book has the words written not only in
English but also includes a Spanish translation. The girl in this book represents diversity as she is
of an ethnicity other than Caucasian. Other items in my box reflect diversity include the outfit as
it is available to both boys and girls and isn’t specified to one gender or the other. There’s also a
baby doll in the box to show that doctors are there for people of ALL ages.
