Toy Hospital
Bandages, a clipboard, and every soft toy in the house admitted for treatment.
Especially good on a sick day, when a child needs to be the one giving care rather than receiving it.
ما تحتاجه
- soft toys
- bandages or strips of cloth
- paper and pen for records
- a blanket
طريقة التنفيذ
- Set up a corner as the hospital, with a blanket as the ward.
- Admit each toy and write down what is wrong with it.
- Treat them: bandages, rest, a drink of water.
- Do a ward round and report on each patient.
- Discharge them one at a time with instructions for home.
لماذا هذا مفيد لهم
Role playing the carer rather than the patient lets a child process an experience from the other side, which is why this works well when they are unwell or after a hospital visit. Recording symptoms and reporting back is also real, purposeful language use.

7 to 9 yearsKeep proper notes with times, and do a handover to the next shift.
السلامة
Nothing wrapped tightly around necks or faces, including on toys, so the habit stays safe.

Discharging the patients is the tidy-up.
