Act Like You Are: Fun Role-Playing Activity for Kids!
This companion set of role-play cards gives children a fresh batch of characters to embody, so the physical and social skills from the first set — body control, turn-taking, reading a picture and translating it into action — get practiced with new material instead of the same few roles. Repetition with variety like this is what actually cements a skill at this age, more than doing the identical activity twice.

How to use this worksheet
Cut out the character cards and, if you like, tape or glue each one to a popsicle stick to make a simple puppet set. Let your child choose a stick at random and act out that character — how it moves, what sound it makes, how it might feel. Once they're comfortable acting solo, add a second player and take turns performing while the other guesses the character.
Materials needed
- Scissors
- Popsicle Sticks (Optional)
Extension activities
- 1Use two different voices for the same character to explore happy versus grumpy versions.
- 2Line up three or four cards and act them out back-to-back as a tiny 'show'.
- 3Ask 'what does this character eat/do all day?' before acting, to build the idea further.
- 4Record a short video of the performance and watch it back together.
- 5Swap cards with a sibling or friend so everyone acts out a character they didn't pick.
