I think some fun pretend games for toddlers could include pretend cooking( pretend you are making a big meal and then pretend eating it ), and also letting the little one pretend they are the "mommy/daddy" and giving them a baby to "diaper", "feed", "give bath to", things like that. Another fun thing is letting them pretend to be a policeman, cowboy, fireman, whatever they desire to be. Imagination is the key!!!!!

are you trying to teach the concept of make believe or pretend or just give play activities that involve dramatic play themes? If the second one there are lots of ideas already. If you are trying to teach the concept. read children's books both fiction and non-fiction and explain the difference between make believe and pretend. Another fun game is to sit in a circle with a block and the first person pretends the block is a car, the next a frog, the next a phone.. that the same item can be anything if you pretend.

Children in this age range love dramatic play areas. Find out what the children are interested in and you could set up an office, a grocery store, a zoo, a campground, a doctor's office, a post office, or anything else the children are interested in. Introduce the dramatic play area with a related activity, such as reading an appropriate story and showing the children the materials and how to use them, and how to clean up when done.

Talk about Santa, the Easter Bunny, the tooth fairy, and other make believe characters.
