Tips for Printing These Free Printable Movie Theater Ideas

printable pretend play movie theater ideas

Make sure that once you print all the pieces and pictures, you take the time to laminate them. This is a great way to make this an activity that the kids can play with over and over again.

If you cycle activities in your house to keep them fresh and new, add them to a clear storage container so that you can see what is inside. This will save you time and sanity, so you don’t have to label the container or open the lid to dig inside.

List Supplies with bullets If they are needed.

Supplies

  • Movie Theater Dramatic Play Printable
  • Printer
  • Paper
  • Laminator (I really like the Scotch brand, but Amazon has a good one too.)
  • Optional: Movie projector

Instructions

Since there are plenty of ways to create a movie night party, take a look at these ideas for setting up your movie night printables.

First, set up the atmosphere. Download your Movie Theater PDF files.

Having the right movie theater decor is essential. Hang movie theater signs, posters and more.  Around the room you can have important movie theater signs like silence your cell phone or even movie posters. The kids can make their own posters earlier in the day before the family time begins. Frame your posters and hang them on the wall or simply use a piece of tape to display for temporary use.

Also consider making your own homemade movie night invitations. These invites can be slid under the bedroom door of family members along with family movie night tickets.

To begin, set up a pretend window and table for a ticket booth.

After you collect your printable movie tickets, offer coupons for a concession stand. Have an area with movie theater candy, hot dogs, pizza and popcorn. Guests can look at the menu and pick their own treats and boxes of candy. USe the movie theater concession stand menu to allow kids to do simple math of how much money is owed.

You can set up a popcorn bar with candy, chocolate, sweet treats and even popcorn boxes. Everyone can put their own concoction together.

Once the yummy food has been passed out the anticipation of the cinema has grown. Allow everyone to sit down in their favorite seat. Pass out cozy blankets.

Let the projector roll. Watch your favorite movie with your family, guests and/or friends.
