Research Gaps
Although there is abundant literature supporting forms of socio-dramatic play commonly
perceived as appropriate (i.e., house keeping, community helpers), little is known of how
to support aggressive socio-dramatic play such as play fighting1 and the use of war toys
in the classroom. Research is needed to develop a cohesive terminology that clearly
identifies various types of aggressive socio-dramatic play, targets the developmental
benefits of each type, and distinguishes various toys and actions characteristic of
aggressively representative play. Research findings to date have supported the inclusion
of aggressive socio-dramatic play in early childhood education, yet minimal practical
guidance for educators is offered to aid in the development of strategies and clear tactics
for supervising play fighting and war toy play.
