The value of dramatic play seems to lie in five basic functions: 1) it provides personal expression and catharsis of inner desires; 2) it helps the child to distinguish between reality and fantasy; 3) it provides for children's social adaptation: 4) it is dynamic for learning; and 5) it improves intellectual development and specifically creativity, through interaction, transformation and imagination. Generally, dramatic play is fundamental to emotional, social and intellectual development of children.
