Pretending to be a teacher

Each year I anticipate that some children will imitate and pretend to be the teacher. They enjoy sitting on the teacher spot, having their captive audience (a few kid "students") and go through the routine of circle time. It's fun to watch how they perceive the teacher - repeating what they've seen and heard.  
There was some discussion over who the teacher was - a good problem solving/taking turn learning experience.  

Put your name card on this side

A teacher must wear a princess dress  

Time to count the name cards

Saying the car rhyme they learned this week.
Each "student" got a turn to place a car on the board.
Notice the two teacher team work going on here?!

They make teaching look easy.
