A good place for dramatic centre is near the block centre or centres which tend to be noisy. The dramatic centre should be bordered by shelves, furnitures or walls to avoid or lessen the amount of noise level emission from the dramatic centre.
2. Use different prop box themes as a way of varying the types of materials for children as they will be bored with the same type of materials after a period of time.
3. Limitless props and materials can invite the children into staying in the dramatic centre and they will be too absorbed to try out the different items to go and disturb the children in other centres.
4. The materials can be organised and placed in labelled bins or containers in low shelves so that children are able to reach them easily.
5. Shelves, plastic containers, hooks, or wire baskets can be installed to display the different props and materials in an orderly manner with labelled pictures and words. Hanging the props can also allow children to see them easily.
