Serious playing in our theme based centers has allowed for so many of my students to connect real life experiences. This student's father works at the hospital and he has connected that to his play saying look Ms. Collier this is my paycard like daddy from work. Really transforming centers to something gives the students a chance to take on their roles wholeheartedly.
How often do you change your centers themes? How are the themes created? Did the child have a say in creating a hospital center, or did he make the connection after the center was created?
