switching roles

Children become teachers and teachers become children. 
A good switch, right? I typically have children who imitate being a teacher and today that happened again, and there were teachers who were willing to become children. The switching of roles always fascinates me. The (children) teachers pretend to write on the white board, hold a book and "read" the story, and "tell the children what to do...." Today was no different except that they wanted the iPad too, to watch animal videos we've been watching during circle times. 


In this case,
there are 2 teachers and they shared the role
quite nicely. Each taking a turn.
And the (real) teacher was asking
the child teacher great questions about the
animal video they were watching.
Super. Super Cool!!
