How to organize dramatization games in kindergarten?
Dramatization games are an independent type of play activity for children in kindergarten. This is a “lifesaver” for teachers, because, on the one hand, children really like them, and on the other, through them a wonderful world of acquaintance with literary works opens up, and there is an active process of speech development and socialization of preschoolers.
Preliminary work
Before starting work, it is recommended that you read the instruction manual included in each set, consider the elements of Froebel’s “gifts”, decorations for fairy tales and characters, and carry out preliminary work on preparing the characters and decorations.
Before starting any dramatization game, the teacher needs to read (or tell) a fairy tale to the children and discuss its plot with them (what the fairy tale is about, who the main characters are in it, etc.), and also find out the children’s likes or dislikes for each character. You can look at the illustrations for the fairy tale with your children and ask them to briefly retell the fairy tale. Then you should distribute the roles, focusing on the desires and capabilities of the children, as well as current psychological and pedagogical tasks (for example, offer the main role to a child with a low sociometric status, or the role of a strong, aggressive hero to a child who has difficulty expressing emotions).
It is recommended to discuss with the participants the characteristic features of the heroes of the fairy tale and how they can be demonstrated to the audience (for example, using voice timbre, intonation, etc.). If you plan to use musical accompaniment, you need to listen to the selected musical fragments with the children and discuss which of them are suitable for which character. After this, depending on the age of the children, the teacher, independently or together with the children, identifies parts of the fairy tale that will be dramatized. It is important that the selected fragments flow smoothly from one to another, maintaining a single storyline.
Organization of the playing space
Dramatization of the proposed literary works can be carried out both on the table and on the floor. In this case, children should pay attention to the location of the scenery and characters in relation to the audience and other participants. If there are spectators, it is recommended to place the scenery and characters in a straight line or in a semicircle. If possible, children should build their own decorations. However, the teacher needs to ensure that the decorations during the game do not interfere with the participants and do not block the view of the audience.
Progress of the dramatization game
Depending on the objectives, the dramatization game can be clearly planned in advance, or it can allow children to improvise during the game. The most important thing is that the children find it interesting to play, and that the group maintains a positive emotional mood. The teacher is recommended to minimize directive interference in the game process.
Completion of the dramatization game
At the end of the gameplay, it is necessary to thank all participants: the actors for their performance, the audience for their attention. If time and the psychological mood of the children allow, you can discuss the “performance”, noting the positive aspects. At the end of the game, all game materials must be removed together.
Using drama games in elementary school lessons
Game functions are different:
1.Facilitate the learning process and revive it
. This role is played by fairy-tale elements, entertaining pictures, and fairy-tale characters.
2."Theatricalization"
educational process: game forms introduce a role-playing element, for example fictional characters. Artistic techniques are used in role-playing dialogues, in staging fables, fairy tales, in compiling various exercises, tasks by the students themselves, and even in compiling pages of the proposed textbook.
3.Competitive.
The game introduces an element of competition, competition, stimulates activity and the desire for leadership. From the simplest cases, the game moves on to olympiads, to testing, to literary creativity, to competition in the quality and depth of knowledge.
The named three functions of the game represent steps from the game - fun to the game - passion for knowledge. This is the highest level - from play to creativity, to scientific logic to ahead of school programs.
Since ancient times, educators have been looking for ways to best teach children. The task is to determine such methods and technologies so that it proceeds quickly and efficiently, with a reasonable expenditure of effort from teachers and students. A lot has already been tried. There is not a single more or less obvious path left that teachers have not tried to follow. All the most valuable things have settled in the arsenal of scientific didactics, the practical task of which is to show teachers the most rational ways to quickly acquire knowledge, skills, and abilities developed by previous generations of teachers. Children do not set any goals in the game other than the goal of playing. But it would be wrong not to take into account the educational and developmental influence of the game while maintaining the spontaneity of children’s lives in it. Play is a means of education when it is included in a holistic pedagogical process. The value of play as an educational tool lies in the fact that, by influencing the group of children playing, the teacher, through the team, influences each of the children. By organizing the lives of children in the game, the teacher forms not only game relationships, but also real ones, consolidating useful habits into the norms of behavior of children in different conditions and outside the game - thus, with the correct guidance of children, the game becomes a school of education.
The didactic game as an independent gaming activity is based on the awareness of this process. Independent play activity is carried out only if children show interest in the game, its rules and actions, if these rules have been learned by them. How long can a child be interested in a game if its rules and content are well known to him? Children love games that are familiar to them and enjoy playing them. This can be confirmed by the rules of folk games that children know: “ Colors”, “We won’t tell you where we were, but we’ll show you what we did”, “On the contrary”
and others.
Each such game contains interest in game actions. For example, in the game “Paints”
you need to choose a color. Children usually choose their favorite and fabulous colors: gold, silver. Having chosen a color, the child approaches the driver and whispers the name of the paint in his ear. “Jump along the path on one leg,” says the driver to the one who named the paint, which is not among the players. There are so many interesting play activities for children here! That's why children always play such games. The problem of the learning process is that the children play independently, so that they always have such games in stock, so that they themselves can organize them as they develop, and be not only participants and fans, but also fair judges. Moving further in the learning process, it is absolutely necessary to complicate the games, supplementing them with an increasing number of rules that would contain not only a technical focus, but would add a new color of aesthetics, reveal figurative concepts of morality, and in the complex would not allow the childish interest in the game to fade away.
