Ice Cream Parlour Role Play Pack
Young children learn through play which is what makes this inviting role-play pack the perfect addition to your classroom. It doubles as a fun role-play centre as well as a terrific play-based maths experience for your students to practise their addition and subtraction skills. Also included is a range of differentiated addition and subtraction worksheets, designed to be used in conjunction with the pack.
Use the printables to create your very own mini ice cream parlour within your classroom. You may choose to use toys and materials you have in the classroom or encourage students to use their imagination as they buy and sell lots of fun different ice creams. Allow students the opportunity for play before introducing any of the included worksheets.
