Supporting EYLF Outcomes:

• Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity – Pretend play with meals helps children explore their own family routines and cultural practices, strengthening confidence and belonging.

• Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world – Children develop an understanding of family roles, hospitality, and care for others while engaging in collaborative play.

• Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing – Setting up, serving, and sharing meals in play supports social-emotional growth, empathy, and self-regulation.

• Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners – Engaging in role play allows children to practise problem-solving, sequencing (preparing and serving food), and imaginative thinking.

• Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators – Through conversation, storytelling, and role negotiation, children develop oral language and social communication skills.
