I don't have a dramatic play center all the time. I am going to start the new year with a puppet theater that I just purchased and will use puppets. They will have a choice of what to use but there are only 2 students at a time and my kids know there is no goofing off. I am going to put their pitures on popsicle sticks, cut outs from stories we read, etc. It worked well in the beginning of school when I didn't have the theater. My school doesn't provide any items for centers so that is why I don't have a lot for dramatic play.
