Theatrical games in kindergarten

A child from an early childhood spends a lot of time in games . In the process of such training, he learns to be independent, communicate with peers, and toys help the child overcome various difficulties.

As children grow older, their games also change. Now they help the child in their own way to assert themselves: the kid tries to come up with the plot of the game, finds partners and means by means of which he will then carry out his plans.

Games are different. Some develop the child's agility and strength, others - the horizon and thinking, others instill the skills of the designer. There are games that contribute to the development of the child's creative talent. This, the so-called theatrical games, often held in kindergarten.

With the help of such games, many pedagogical problems are solved. During the play sessions, the child develops expressive speech, develops creative and musical abilities, and increases the level of communicative and intellectual development. During such games in preschool establishments, educators will better know their wards, their habits, characters and abilities.

All theatrical games in kindergarten can be presented in two forms: story-role play, or director's, and play-dramatization.

Games-dramatization in kindergarten

In these games, the child acts as an artist, creatively reproducing the contents of a fairy tale and using for this, for example, the Bibabo pupae. In this case, the player himself is behind the screen and speaks for the dolls, put on his fingers. Another version of the drama game - with finger puppets , which the child puts on and pronounces the text for the characters he represents. It is possible and improvisation, when the plot of the game unfolds without any preparation.

Story-role games in kindergarten

In director's games, the child plays not himself, but acts as a toy character, transforming into him. Such games include, for example, a desktop theater of pictures or toys, in which children convey the mood and state of the character with their intonation. In the game, the book-stand of the event is depicted on successively changing pages of the book, and the child comments on what is happening. Another director's play, which teachers often use in kindergartens, is a shadow theater. She needs a translucent paper screen and a lightbulb behind it. Images are obtained with the help of fingers, and the child sounds all the events that occur.

Practically in every kindergarten, educators compose card files, in which theatrical games are selected taking into account the age of the children of each group.
