Bed Time Play

Bed Time is the third of four Apps in Dr. Suzy Lederer’s I Can Play That book of pretend play. Bed Time continues the practice of using special time words (first, next, and then, last) that pretend play sequences require. The child has already become familiar with the 4-part sequencing of a play activity. In this app Teddy Bear has a new friend, a young boy, who gets to enjoy a new pretend play of getting ready for bed. This is an excellent way for parents to prepare the child for the bedtime routine which can often be difficult. And, the actual bedtime routine is reinforced by playing the game at the end of the story. This is also a great activity for exposing the child to a second language; Spanish for the English speakers and English for the Spanish speakers.

At any time during the story of Bed Time you can click the small arrow in the left bottom corner and this will take you to the opening page. Once the last page (information page) is on the screen there is an exit button that will take you back to the opening page.
