Playing Dress Up with Grandmother
In this video a grandmother and young child are playing dress up with clothes they have at home. Notice how the child is initiating (selects the clothing item, decides what to do with it) and the grandmother follows her lead. The grandma collaborates in the play and uses language to explore what the child is thinking/doing and extend the play.

1. How and why does the grandmother let the girl lead the activity?
2. How does the grandmother incorporate language into the playful exchanges?
3. What do you think the girl is learning?
