Doctor's Bag Dramatic Play Pack

Print the bag page on card stock so the bag holds up, then help children staple it and write their name on the Doctor: line. They keep the cut-out tools in the bag and carry it to the pretend doctor's office.

A cover and 3 pages. The first page is a doctor's bag with a Doctor: line; the directions read: Print this page twice and cut out both bags. Staple or tape the sides and bottom together, leaving the top open. Put your tools inside. Two more pages hold 8 tools to cut out: a stethoscope, a thermometer, a bandage, a pretend shot, an x-ray, medicine, an ear checker and a patient chart.

Yes. We made it for Preschool to 1st Grade community helpers, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

Pick one setting, such as the fire station, post office or doctor's office, print its signs, labels and cutouts, and add a few real props. The badges and the job application form let children choose a role and take turns.

The Community Helper Counting to 10 Clip Cards have an answer key. The rest are open activities, signs and crafts.
