Each child is assigned a role, for example, there will be one waiter or waitress and the remaining pupils will be the customers who come to the restaurant. Over a period of time, the children have studied the role play dialogues in order to understand how language and registers are used in different social situations. The children are also aware of the types of body language which should be used in the situation and how to make people feel welcome.
