The role-playing town is one of the most important game of play areas in children indoor playground (soft playground). It is a kind of recreational form that unifies education, entertainment and socialization. By building a highly simulated, small social environment to create an interactive space for children to imitate and play the role of adults.
In this article, we will discuss this kind of form in details from 5 aspects: definition, material composition, theme classification, core play and safety guarantee.

1.Definition

Role-playing town is a specific functional area created in the indoor playground. This area has been designed and built very finely to simulate various life and job scenes in real life, such as supermarkets, hospitals, kitchens, fire stations, etc. Children can choose the role they like and like to play in these scenarios and wear corresponding costumes and props to play the role and interact with each other. By doing this, they can learn practical life knowledge, understand social rules, improve language expression and social skills. It is not only a kind of indoor playroom to let children release their wild nature, but also an experience education form that makes children learn in fun.

2. Material Composition

In order to ensure the safety and comfort of children when playing, the building of role-playing mini town adopts strict materials. The main structure is generally made of high strength galvanized steel pipes to ensure the stability and durability of the main structure. In order to avoid collision injuries, the main structure and all hard surfaces are wrapped with soft padding materials. These padding materials are filled with high density EPE foam and then wrapped with waterproof, wear-resistance, anti-friction and flame-retardant PVC mesh fabric. The plastic props and slides are mostly made of environmentally friendly, non-toxic and anti-ultraviolet linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). In addition, the platform and floor of the Pretend City are also made of multi-board and high density EVA foam mat to provide cushioning protection.

3. Theme Classification

The variety of role-playing towns are mainly reflected in the variety of simulated thematic scenes, giving children a variety of role-playing experience. The life-scenario theme simulates the home and daily scene, such as mini supermarket, mini kitchen, etc. Children can learn practical knowledge by playing the role of customer or family member. The main category is career experience, which simulates various professional scenes, such as hospital, fire station, police station, etc. Children can experience different jobs and get a preliminary understanding of their responsibilities. In addition, some large role-playing towns also simulate traffic rules. The mock driving school and miniature traffic town are built. Children can learn the basic knowledge of road safety while driving small cars.

4. Core Play                     

The core of the role-playing town game is “role-playing” and “interaction”. The whole process starts with children selecting a role according to their interest in different theme pavilions, dressing in the corresponding professional costume and getting simulated props to create the role. In the properly arranged environment, children can play the role based on their experience and imagination, interacting with the other children playing different roles to create simple stories or finish the scene arrangement. For example, in the “hospital”, there will be a “little doctor” taking care of the “little patient”. Such game mode greatly stimulates children’s imagination and creativity and meanwhile improves their social ability unconsciously.

5. Safety

Life is more important in the design of any role play house, and protective measures are applied in all aspects of the role-playing town facility.
  • Facility and Material Safety
In the design stage, all facilities should follow the national and industry safety standards. All sharp corners are removed and all gaps are harmless. All edges are rounded and harmless. At the same time, the raw materials should be environmentally friendly, non-toxic and odorless, so that children will not be exposed to harmful materials during the game. The soft padding materials and plastic parts should also be flame retardant to reduce possible fire hazards.
  • Instruction and Supervision during Playing
During the time of playing, the playground needs parents’ full supervision and accompany with their children. Parents should keep their children in line of sight at any time. By the help of clear safety instructions and the guidance of the staff, children are encouraged to follow the play etiquette, like not pushing or roughhousing and using equipment correctly. Different areas also have requirements of age ranges and appropriate, harmless clothes to ensure the safety of all users.
  • Maintenance and Cleaning
In order to ensure the continuous safe operation, the staff should regularly and systematically inspect all the facilities. Especially the connecting parts like screws should be paid attention to, to ensure that they are not loose or damaged. In addition, the cleanliness is also very important. The facilities and props should be regularly and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to ensure the effectiveness of preventing diseases.
