Role Play Resource
Setting up your Role Play Area
Topic: Global Garden Role Play Area: Flower Shop or Small Nursery
Throughout this Topic ‘The Global Garden’ by Kate Petty is used. The children
learn about different types of plants and seeds and go on a visit to a local
garden. As the children make and grow things throughout this topic they can
add them to the shop.
* In Theme 1, session 1 the children investigate and make their own
pop-up flower/plant cards.
When finished these could be on sale in the ‘Flower Shop’.
* Display real/plastic flowers in plastic vases. The tissue flowers made
by the children in session 3 would be great!
Oasis is useful for displaying imitation flowers.
* Arrange a selection of real plants – explain to the children that these will
need to be cared for! Or make pretend plants from recycled materials
or sculpted sponge. Or plant real twigs in pots – they will need to be
replaced every few days. Make labels for unestablished plants and
flowers showing the customer what they will look like.
* Display flower and plant posters. These can be advertisements or
provide information.
* Display a range of seed packets – These could be real, or old empty
packets filled with rice or packets made and designed by the children.
* Provide plastic fruits and vegetables, ‘locally grown’, for the chn to buy.
* Use clip art or cut out pictures of flowers and plants and place them on
a World Map showing where they come from.
* Try to provide the children with a uniform or overall/apron,
gardening gloves, tools e.g. trowels, watering cans so they look the part.
A till, money and bags for purchases and bags/purses for customer.
Dressing up is always fun, so some everyday clothes will finish off
their characters!
Remember to price all things for sale! The children will love using money!

Top Tips
Some ideas to encourage Speaking and Listening in your Role Play Area.
Topic: Global Garden
Role Play Area: Flower Shop or Small Nursery
Discuss with the children the ‘people’ who may be involved in a ‘Flower Shop’ and what their
roles entail. How many people you choose will depend on the size of your role play area.
Display any posters, advertisements, special offers and leaflets. This will invite dialogue
from the children. If you have trouble finding posters with appropriate pictures and
information, make some of your own or ask the children!

on a ‘Local News’ board.
Local News
Children explore plants and flowers in local
garden as part of their Global Garden Topic.
Display photos from visit
Pictures of the Week
Encourage the children to draw or take photos

They may even find out more on the internet!
Excuse me …
When is the best
time to plant
sunflower seeds?
Remind the children about being polite!
