« Theater activities V kindergarten»
The educational possibilities of theatrical activities are wide. By participating in it, children get acquainted with the world around them in all its diversity through images, colors, sounds, and skillfully posed questions force them to think, analyze, draw conclusions and generalizations. WITH mental development The improvement of speech is also closely related. In the process of working on the expressiveness of characters’ remarks and their own statements, the child’s vocabulary is imperceptibly activated, the sound culture of speech and its intonation structure are improved.
We can say that theatrical activity is a source of development of feelings, deep experiences and discoveries of a child, and introduces him to spiritual values. But it is no less important that theatrical activities develop the emotional sphere of the child, make him sympathize with the characters and empathize with the events being played out.
Thus, theatrical activities are the most important means of developing empathy in children, i.e. the ability to recognize a person’s emotional state by facial expressions, gestures, intonation, the ability to put oneself in his place in various situations, and find adequate ways to help.
“To enjoy someone else’s joy and sympathize with someone else’s grief, you need to be able to, with the help of your imagination, transfer yourself to the position of another person, mentally put yourself in his place.”
Of course, the teacher plays a huge role in theatrical activities. It should be emphasized that theatrical classes must simultaneously perform cognitive, educational and developmental functions and in no case be reduced to preparing performances.
- Watching puppet shows and talking about them;
- Acting out various fairy tales and dramatizations;
- Exercises to develop expressiveness of performance (verbal and non-verbal);
- Exercises for children's social-emotional development preschool age;
Therefore, the content of such classes is not only familiarization with the text of a literary work or fairy tale, but also with gestures, facial expressions, movement, and costumes.
Building an environment for theatrical activities.
The environment is one of the main means of developing a child’s personality, the source of his individual knowledge and social experience. The subject-spatial environment should not only ensure joint theatrical activities of children, but also be the basis for the independent creativity of each child, a unique form of his self-education. Therefore, when designing a subject-spatial environment that provides theatrical activities for children, it should be taken into account.
- Individual social psychological characteristics child;
- Features of his emotional and personal development;
- Interests, inclinations, preferences and needs;
- Curiosity, research interest and creativity;
- Age and gender-role characteristics;
Theater and parents?!
Development of theatrical activities in preschool educational institutions and the accumulation of emotional and sensory experience in children is a long-term work that requires the participation of parents. It is important that parents participate in theme nights in which parents and children are equal participants.
It is important for parents to participate in such evenings as role performers, authors of the text, manufacturers of scenery, costumes, etc. In any case, the joint work of teachers and parents contributes to the intellectual, emotional and aesthetic development children.
Parental participation in theater activities is necessary. This evokes a lot of emotions in children and heightens feelings of pride for their parents who participate in theatrical productions.

Development of children in theatrical activities
From time immemorial, theater has always fascinated audiences. Theatrical play is a historically established social phenomenon, an independent type of activity characteristic of humans.
Theater activities in kindergarten have their own characteristics. “This is a magical land in which a child rejoices while playing, and in play he learns about the world.”
At first, the teacher takes the main role in theatrical activities, telling and showing various fairy tales and nursery rhymes. But starting from 3-4 summer age Children, imitating adults, independently act out fragments of literary works in free activity.
Theatrical activities are the most common type of children's creativity.
During the spectacle, the imagination allows the child to endow the characters in the play with human properties, perceive what is happening as reality, sympathize, worry and rejoice for the characters in the play. Children learn to notice good and bad deeds, show curiosity, they become more relaxed and sociable, learn to clearly formulate their thoughts and express them publicly, feel and understand the world around them more subtly.
The importance of theatrical activities cannot be overestimated. Theatrical games contribute to the comprehensive development of children: speech, memory, determination, perseverance are developed, physical skills are practiced (imitation of the movements of various animals). In addition, theatrical activities require determination, hard work, and ingenuity. Today, when against the backdrop of excess information and abundant varied impressions, the emotional underdevelopment of children is acutely felt, the significance of the theatrical genre also lies in the fact that it emotionally develops the personality. After all, parents often have no time to read a book to their child. And how a child’s eyes light up when an adult reads aloud, intonation highlighting the character of each character in the work!
A preliminary survey of parents was conducted. The results of the survey were announced at parent meeting.

All this contributes to children’s theatrical activity, the ability to transform, the ability to improvise, communication and expansion vocabulary.
IN parent corner post a reminder for parents.
Home theater
Theater and theatrical activities are of great importance for a child. Family theater is a special environment for the development of children's creative abilities.
This is the key to the moral development of a child, which opens up a new facet of activity, introduces not only the art of facial expressions and gestures, but also the culture of communication. The value of theatrical activity is that it helps children visually see the content of a literary work and develops imagination, without which a full perception of fiction is not possible. After all, the ability to vividly imagine what you read or hear about is developed on the basis of external vision, from the experience of real ideas. Theatrical activities are actively used in kindergarten, but how much joy a child gets when his dad suddenly becomes a wolf, his mother a fox, and his grandfather a bear!
Dramatization serves as a means for a child to demonstrate artistic abilities, develop speech, and moral experience. Playing theater is very close to a child who strives to express all his experiences and impressions in action.
Parent meeting solution option:
1.Use the information received at the parent meeting as part of the development of children in theatrical activities.
2. Maintain children’s interest in theatrical activities in kindergarten and at home.
3. Parents should take care of technical means (discs, cassettes) that contribute to the development of children’s creative potential.
4. Pay serious attention to the choice of fiction to read to children.

Psychologists have proven that play activity is an integral component of the harmonious all-round development of preschool children. This is due to age characteristics development of mental processes in children. With the help of this type of activity, preschoolers learn about the world around them, learn communication and interaction with peers, and adapt to society. One of the effective types of play activity in kindergarten is theater. In such activities, preschoolers show creative activity, realize their potential, and develop abilities. This is why it is so important to hold theatrical games in preschool educational institutions. Such activities are organized in preschool institution in the most different forms. We will look at what types of theaters there are in kindergarten and how to organize them correctly in this material. In addition, we will share interesting ideas production of attributes and equipment for carrying out such work.
The influence of theatrical play on the development of a preschooler
It is impossible to overestimate the beneficial impact of theatrical games on the development of children. This activity contributes to:
- children’s learning and retention of educational material;
- development of speech and fine motor skills;
- formation of communication skills;
- development of creative abilities, identification of children’s talents;
- developing the ability to interact with others;
- the formation of the sensitive-emotional sphere;
- the emergence of sustained interest in fiction, book;
- education of aesthetic taste;
- development of such personal qualities as determination, will, initiative and others.
Types of theaters in preschool educational institutions
Thus, the organization of theatrical activities in preschool education achieves a number of educational and educational goals. In addition, it contributes to the implementation of the requirements of the state standard, since thanks to this form of pedagogical work, children learn to independently put forward ideas, argue, show initiative and creativity.
What types of theaters can be organized in kindergarten? IN pedagogical literature It is proposed to carry out activities with preschoolers such as:
- tabletop theater;
- bench;
- riding;
- wrist;
- floor;
- living puppet theater
In turn, each of these types is divided into subspecies. We will tell you more about each of them below.
Stand theater
A stand theater is a surface on which character figures and decorations are attached. This type includes:
- Theater on flannelgraph (board covered with fabric). To organize this, you will need an industrial or self-made flannelgraph and figurines-characters of the selected work of art, on which it is necessary to reverse side attach Velcro. Thus, as the plot develops, the child is invited to attach the necessary figures to the flannelgraph.
- Magnetic is essentially the same as the previous type, only a metal board is used, and magnetic strips are attached to the figures instead of Velcro. The basis and, accordingly, the characters of such a theater come in very different sizes: from a small tabletop version to a full-fledged screen for an auditorium or music hall.
- in kindergartens is the most mysterious and unusual for children to perceive; preschoolers enthusiastically participate in such a game. To organize this type of theater you will need a screen (stretched vertically white fabric), a lantern or table lamp (depending on the size of the screen), black cardboard figures. Instead of using toy characters, shadows can be created directly with your hand and fingers. This type is called “living shadow theater”.
Tabletop theater
The name of this type of theater speaks for itself - play activities are carried out on the table. Its peculiarity is that the scenery and characters must be small in size so that it is possible to place all the necessary attributes of the game on the surface. What is a tabletop theater like in kindergarten?
- Paper (cardboard). Often such a ready-made theater can be found in some children's magazine - you just need to cut out and assemble all the necessary parts and you can start the performance.
- Magnetic is a metal board with magnets - characters from a fairy tale.
- Theater from natural material, for example, cones, chestnuts, acorns, etc. It is convenient to place such characters in a box of sand.
"Rar" theater
This type includes theatrical activities, which require attributes such as finger puppets or “glove” toys. There are the following “wrist” types of theaters in kindergarten:
- finger;
- glove
What is needed to organize such theatrical activities? First of all, you need a screen. Its size depends directly on the size of the characters. In turn, dolls are most often made independently by the teacher. But students can also take an active part in creating characters. For example, you can make finger puppets from cardboard cones, fabric, tennis balls and other materials.
“Glove puppets” can be made, for example, from a mitten or sock, sewing the necessary elements (face, hands, clothes, etc.) to the base.
It is important to note that finger theater, in addition to other advantages, effectively develops fine motor skills of preschoolers, which, in turn, directly affects the formation of children’s speech.
Horse Theater
What is a horse theater? This term was introduced by Russian puppeteers back in the 16th century. Its peculiarity is that the dolls are taller than the person who controls them. There are the following types:
- Reed theater uses puppets, which are mounted on a high cane, and the person who controls the characters is hidden behind a screen.
- The Bi-ba-bo theater is becoming increasingly popular. In principle, this is the same “glove”, since the dolls are put on the hand. The only difference is that a high screen is used and, thus, the characters are shown to the audience at a level higher than the puppeteer’s height.
- No less interesting is the theater of spoons in kindergarten. It is very easy to make attributes for such gaming activities yourself. For this you will need a wooden spoon. The character’s face is drawn on its convex part, and the clothes of a fairy-tale hero are put on the handle. During a children's play, little puppeteers hold spoon characters by the handle.
Floor theater
Floor theater uses puppets. Making them yourself is quite difficult, so most often they are purchased in specialized stores. Due to this feature, this type of theatrical activity is rarely carried out in kindergartens. But it is the puppet theater that evokes a storm of emotions and delight in preschoolers. Since children do not yet understand the mechanism of action of such dolls, children imagine that the toys themselves have “come to life.” It is this element of “miracle”, “fairy tale” that contributes to the emergence of positive emotions in preschoolers.
Living Puppet Theater
But more often than others, a “live” puppet theater is organized in kindergarten. Such an activity can be carried out as a lesson on the development of speech, the surrounding world, the study foreign language, as well as during leisure time. In addition, a live theater production can be dedicated to a holiday, for example, Maslenitsa or New Year.
The following types of described gaming activities are distinguished:
- masque;
- theater of giant puppets.
The latter is most often carried out in a preschool educational institution. The roles of giant dolls are played either by adults or older preschoolers. Younger children can only act as spectators.
Then the mask theater is suitable for children of any age. Even the youngest pupils have the opportunity to “reincarnate” into the hero of a fairy tale. The teacher can invite the children to retell a story the kids love in such an unusual way or prepare a full-fledged performance for their parents.
Preschoolers can make masks for the upcoming performance on their own under the guidance of a teacher, for example, during classes on artistic and aesthetic development or during leisure activities.
How to make a screen for a theater in a preschool educational institution yourself?
In order to organize theatrical activities with preschoolers, you will need various attributes, including masks, dolls, and decorations. Of course, the necessary equipment can be purchased in specialized stores. But by inviting kids to make the necessary equipment for the theatricalization of a fairy tale, it is possible not only to diversify educational process preschoolers, increase motivation to labor activity, but also to realize the main educational and educational goals.
What can you use to make a theater for preschoolers? For most types of such creative activities, a theater screen is required. In kindergarten, there is usually the specified equipment either in the playroom or in the music room. But in the absence of a screen required size- you can make it yourself.
The easiest way to make such an attribute for a theatrical game is to stretch thick fabric over the doorway. Depending on what type of activity is supposed to be carried out, a “window” is either cut out in the material or an indentation is made at the top to accommodate the characters.
Screen for finger theater
To organize a finger theater, you will need a small screen. Therefore, you can make the specified attribute from cardboard boxes, at the bottom of which you need to cut a hole. Such a screen then needs to be aesthetically decorated. It is recommended to decorate the box with universal decorations so that you do not have to make a new screen for each fairy tale separately. So, you can design it in the form of a forest clearing and place it as a “house on the edge.”
Dolls for theater in preschool educational institutions from scrap materials
Preschoolers really enjoy making their own character dolls from unusual materials for theatrical games. What can such attributes be made of? A teacher who practices a creative approach to work is able to make figures from the most unexpected materials. For example, a paper theater is the simplest and quick way homemade characters.
You can also use wooden ice cream sticks, covering them with felt, foil, or colored self-adhesive film. Photos of such characters for theatrical activities can be seen below.
Materials for making characters
What else can you make characters from:
- cardboard, making two holes for fingers in the lower part;
- matchboxes;
- tennis balls;
- inflatable balloons;
- disposable tableware: plates, cups, spoons;
- socks, mittens, gloves;
- plastic bottles;
- natural material, etc.
Thus, you can organize different types of theaters in kindergarten. When planning such activities, it is important for the teacher to take into account age and individual characteristics pupils, their interests. In addition, it is necessary not only to correctly conduct a theatrical game, but also to methodically correctly think through the preparatory and final stages of working with children. The effectiveness of pedagogical work with preschoolers in general depends on these factors.
“The theater is a magical world.
He gives lessons in beauty, morality
and morality.
And the richer they are, the more successful they are.
the spiritual world is developing
children..."
(B. M. Teplov)
Children's whole life is filled with play. Every child wants to play their role. Teach the child to play, take on a role and act, while at the same time helping him acquire life experience, - all this helps to realize the theater.
Theater is a means of emotional and aesthetic education of children in kindergarten. Theatrical activities make it possible to develop the experience of social behavioral skills due to the fact that every fairy tale or literary work for preschool children always has a moral orientation (kindness, courage, friendship, etc.). Thanks to the theater, a child learns about the world not only with his mind, but also with his heart and expresses his own attitude towards good and evil. Theatrical activities help the child overcome timidity, self-doubt, and shyness. Theater in kindergarten will teach the child to see the beautiful in life and in people, and will give rise to the desire to bring the beautiful and good into life.
