¿Cómo se dice "playing house" en español?

Question

I'm talking about the role-playing game that children play. Is there a term for "playing house" in Spanish? So far I've come up with "jugar a las casitas". Can anyone confirm that, or do you know any other names for it?

Thanks

Me refiero al juego que juegan los niños en que fingen ser adultos. He encontrado el término "jugar a las casitas". ¿Este es correcto, o sabe otras palabras para este juego?

Gracias

Answer 1

In Spain the childs call it ''Jugar a mamás y papás''

In Swedish too! - annierats, Apr 25, 2013

That sounds more like playing doctors and nurses, which is a different thing entirely! - afowen, Apr 25, 2013

Correct In Chile is also mamás y papás, pero se usa más " a las casitas" - chileno, Apr 25, 2013

Answer 2

Jugar a la casita (singular)

Answer 3

Obviously it´s regional.

In Mexico it´s singular Jugar a la casita.

We also use this same expression among adults but as an idiom. I´ll let you guess what that´s about although Alfowen seems to already know.

Answer 4

Nope franco, a las casitas is correct.

Answer 5

jugar casa <--- (I think)

Answer 6

jugar a la casita
