Theatrical activities in the middle group are a journey into the world of creativity. Creative project in kindergarten. Theater activities for preschoolers

Relevance: The most popular and exciting area in preschool education is theatrical activities. From the point of view of pedagogical attractiveness, we can talk about universality, playful nature and social orientation, as well as the correctional capabilities of the theater.

Exactly theatrical activity allows you to solve many pedagogical problems related to the formation of the expressiveness of a child’s speech, intellectual and artistic-aesthetic education. By participating in theatrical games, children becomeparticipants in various events from the lives of people, animals, plants, which gives them the opportunity to better understand the world around them. At the same time, theatrical play instills in the child a sustainable interest in his native culture, literature, and theater.

Huge and educational value theatrical games. Children develop a respectful attitude towards each other. They learn the joy associated with overcoming communication difficulties and self-doubt. Children’s enthusiasm for theatrical play, their inner comfort, relaxedness, easy, non-authoritarian communication between an adult and a child, the “I can’t do it” complex disappears almost immediately - all this surprises and attracts.

Everything here is like in a real theater! There is a stage, spectator rows, scenery, backstage, dressing room, costume room.... And even a theatrical call. Do you hear?

We conducted a survey of parents, which showed that: · 64% of preschoolers by the age of 5-6 years have no interest in theatrical art and activities. Because theater reflects phenomena surrounding reality, then the lack of knowledge on such an interesting and exciting activity created a need to work in more detail with both children and their parents.

Relevance of the project:

“It’s not for nothing that children love fairy tales.
After all, that’s what’s good about a fairy tale,
That there is a happy ending in it,
The soul already has a presentiment.
And for any test
Brave hearts agree,
Waiting impatiently
Have a happy ending..."
(Valentin Berestov)

Nowadays, children do not suffer from a lack of information. And the main carriers for preschoolers are kindergarten and family. In kindergarten, the child is in a constant state of discovery in a variety of areas: fine arts, music and much more.
Little pioneers in constant search of the unknown. They are driven by interest and endless curiosity.
Our task is to direct the child’s interest in the right direction, to open before him the opportunity to develop spiritually and mentally.

Children's theater, thanks to its enormous emotional impact on the child's soul, is able to take on developmental tasks: feelings - emotions, memory, imagination, intelligence and resourcefulness, broadening one's horizons, kindness and pity, courage.
Theater is always a holiday for a child, a bright, unforgettable experience.
The expression “The fairy-tale world of childhood” is not empty words. In the life of a child from his very birth there is a fairy tale with its good heroes.
Will an adult believe that a chicken can lay a golden egg, or dream of a magic wand that will solve all problems? Of course not.
And the child is convinced that if he waves a magic wand, a miracle will happen.
Children believe in miracles and that somewhere on earth there is an extraordinary fairy-tale country in which birds and animals can talk to each other and live in friendship. And this country exists, and it is called Theater!!!
The fairy-tale world of theater is a land of real fantasies and good fairy tale, a game of fiction and reality, colors and light, words, music and mysterious sounds.
Theater is a fertile ground for creativity; everyone who wants to take part in this action will find something to their liking.

It’s impossible to play in the theater without emotions. That is why the same poem will be told by a child expressively and artistically at one time, and sluggishly and monotonously at another.
“Emotions energize and organize perception, thinking and action”
When learning a role, the child tries to use facial expressions to expressive speech and convey the mood of the hero of the fairy tale with movements.
This is where the child gets acquainted with various emotions:
Interest, surprise, fear, grief, anger, shame.
Theatrical creativity has an emotional development effect on children when he plays a role, interacting with peers, or sitting in the auditorium.
Every time, leaving the theater, any child takes away with him, albeit a small, but discovery.
The words spoken by K.S. Stanislavsky about creativity in the theater can also be applied to children’s theater, since they contain the essence of the foundation and success of any theater:
« Creative work over the role and over the transformation of the playwright’s verbal work into a stage story, everything from beginning to end proceeds with the participation of the imagination.”
Theater is an inexhaustible source for the development of real feelings and fantasies for a child.

The child constantly plays, learning about the world and himself through play. In the theater, a child unwittingly finds himself in situations, the way out of which requires some intelligence. Such moments arise infrequently and only in in that case, if adults and children take part on equal terms in a game called theater.
IN children's theater Against the background of active emotional development, two more directions in education exist and harmoniously complement each other: the development of intelligence in a child and the instilling in him of social and moral qualities.
A variety of children come to the theater. The behavior of some of them can be characterized as constrained, shy, timid, and indecisive.
Some children remain like this for a short time, their stiffness is associated with the new environment in which they find themselves: new faces, unfamiliar objects.
Performing in front of an audience, and especially in front of friends, will not be a psychological barrier for them.
The relationship that exists in children's theatrical activities forces children to more often contact each other with requests and questions.
Children become more sociable, they make new friends, which in turn makes them relaxed.

Theater for a child becomes an amazing, special world. Where any wish will certainly come true, and no matter what happens, everything will certainly end well.

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

Theater on flannelgraph
(board covered with fabric)
To organize this type of activity, you will need a flannelgraph made by yourself and character figures of the chosen work of art, on which you need to attach Velcro or velvet paper to the back side.
Thus, as the plot develops, the child is invited to attach the necessary figures to the flannelgraph.

Theater with disguises and masks
This is a theater where children take on the role of a chosen character. Children, with the help of an adult or independently, act out short fairy tales.
For better visibility, children need costumes. You can buy them in a store or sew them yourself. In kindergarten, in each group or at home, it is advisable to have a costume room, where costumes are sewn by the hands of parents and children.
Masks - caps - are made according to the size of the performer's head. These can be knitted hats or characters drawn on cardboard, which are attached with an elastic band around the head.

Puppet theater
This type of theatrical art is very popular with children, as it allows them to work with a doll and rehearsal process open up to each child individually, overcome the complexes of embarrassment and uncertainty, learn to play with the help of a doll, revive it with your actions and manner of moving and speaking.

Cone Theater
Helps to learn to coordinate hand and eye movements and to accompany finger movements with speech. Express your emotions through facial expressions and speech.

Project conclusions:

The children became interested in theatrical activities. The children got acquainted with different types of theaters. Thanks to joint activities during the project, the relationship between children and adults was strengthened.
Children have become more sociable with each other, liberated, confident in themselves and their abilities, and are not afraid to speak in front of the public.
In my parents I found support not only preparatory work(making scenery, costumes, toys), but I saw them as talented teachers of my children.
I showed parents that only through joint activities can they get to know their child better, his temperament, and friendly relations between children and adults.
Created an atmosphere of creativity. My project allowed children, parents and teachers to show their creative activity and fully reveal the emotional capabilities of children.
Thus, we can conclude that the “We Play Theater” project has created favorable conditions for the development of children’s abilities in theatrical activities.

Children of the fifth year of life are happy to try on various roles, imbued with the experiences of fictional characters, while liberating themselves and comprehending the nature of human relationships.

Methodology and organization of theatrical activities in the middle group of kindergarten

Theatrical activities remain an important component of the pedagogical process in the secondary preschool level. Such classes are most often held as part of the subject “speech development” (for example, once every three to four weeks) or are included in circle work.

Tasks and techniques of theatricalization in preschool educational institutions

Theatrical classes solve many problems, contributing, first of all, to the harmonious development of the child.

Educational objectives:

  1. Initial Basics theatrical culture. The children get acquainted with theatrical terminology, varieties of theatrical art, and learn how to behave correctly while in the theater.
  2. Theater game. Preschoolers improve their ability to navigate the stage space, move around the set, build a dialogue with a production partner on a specific topic, and remember the words of the characters in a theatrical sketch.
  3. Working on the play. Children develop skills in manipulating imaginary objects. Children learn to embody specific feelings and experiences in the game, to create a certain image through intonation, facial expressions and pantomime.
  4. Rhythmoplasty. Preschoolers learn to respond to a musical signal or command, while acting in concert, remembering various poses and conveying them figuratively.
  5. Speech culture. Children develop speech breathing, correct articulation, clear diction, develop the ability to change intonation, write short stories and fairy tales, and find elementary rhymes.

Developmental tasks:

  1. Theatrical activities instill in children the skills of public speaking.

Educational tasks:

  1. Rising general culture the child is introduced to spiritual values.

Watching theatrical performances makes children want to act out their own performance. The initial stage is familiarization with the script of the future performance. Preschoolers act out a small performance themselves.

Types of theatrical activities in the secondary preschool level

Theatrical activities in the secondary preschool level can be divided into two key groups: dramatization games (drama theater) and director's games. In the first case, preschoolers themselves become actors performance: dress in costumes, play the roles of characters, conveying their movements and experiences with the help of intonation, facial expressions and pantomime.

Variety drama theater is a mask theater, which also takes place in middle group. The teacher makes hat-masks based on the size of the child’s head. They can be sewn or knitted, or you can use a cardboard image that is fixed around the head with an elastic band.

With the help of costumes, masks or hats, kids transform into fairy-tale characters

During director's play, the child only creates the scene by controlling a toy hero - three-dimensional or flat. In this regard, the following types of theater are distinguished:

  1. Desktop. These are manipulations with the most common toys (matryoshka dolls, animal figurines, etc.), while the stage area is a children's table. The content of such performances is usually chosen to be extremely simple, there are no intricate movements and actions. The teacher may well come up with a small plot himself.
  2. Conical. It is a type of tabletop. The characters are made from paper cones.
  3. Theater on flannelgraph (or magnetic board). Kids are usually captivated by the process of the game action itself: after all, the pictures do not fall, but seem to be glued to the board, as if by magic. A teacher can easily create many characters for such performances: the image can be drawn or cut out from postcards, magazines, or old books. The picture is glued onto thin cardboard, with flannel glued to the back side of it. If the sketch is played out on a magnetic board, the teacher uses small, inconspicuously colored magnets to attach the characters.
  4. Shadowy. This is great fun for kids who love watching human and animal figures move across a brightly lit screen. The teacher covers a wooden screen frame with thin white fabric, cuts out character figures from loose cardboard and paints them black (and body parts can be movable, for example, the head, arms and legs) using threads or wire. When performing a performance, the figures are pressed tightly against the material, and a light source is located behind them. It is advisable that the audience does not see the puppeteer’s hand: for this purpose, each figure is equipped with an additional element that makes it convenient to hold it.
  5. Bibabo (or the Petrushki Theater). It is a set of dolls that are put on your hands like a glove. Such characters are sold in children's stores; if you wish, you can make them yourself. The simplest doll consists of a body-shirt, a head and arms. The head can be borrowed from an old doll, rubber toy or make it from plasticine, papier-mâché, or a plastic ball, marking the corresponding parts. The body-shirt is sewn according to the size of the child’s hand. During the demonstration of the sketch, the head is placed on the index finger, and the hands (or paws of the animal) are placed on the thumb and middle finger. At the same time, the stage of the bibabo theater is a screen on which the scenery is placed. Little puppeteers are behind the screen and control the dolls. Such a theater usually evokes delight and a sea of ​​bright emotions in children.
  6. Finger. These are small dolls sewn from material, knitted from yarn or glued from paper. The face is decorated with buttons, beads, beads, threads, etc. Children put toys on their fingers and use a screen to show the performance.
  7. Mitten Theater. It is based on the use of unnecessary children's mittens, to which eyes, ears, mouth, hair and other details are sewn. Alternatively, the mitten can be cut out of paper and then glued. Children love to make such dolls, coloring them with pencils, gouache, felt-tip pens, and decorating them with applique. Such mittens, by the way, can include part of the scenery, for example, grass or trees.

Photo gallery: types of puppet theater in the middle group

The characters of the bibabo theater are put on the hands like a glove. An ordinary mitten can be transformed into fairy tale character In a cone theater, the characters are paper cones. For a tabletop theater, the stage area is an ordinary table. Small puppets are put on fingers and the game action is played out using a screen. To create a shadow theater, black figures and a white screen are needed. Flat characters are attached to a flannelgraph.

Performances staged by children turn out to be brighter and more interesting if they are accompanied by musical accompaniment. The music director can play along with the children on the piano, or the teacher selects suitable audio recordings. Thus, theatrical activities in preschool educational institutions are closely related to musical ones.

Theatrical corner in the group room

In the developing environment of the middle group, there must certainly be a theatrical corner, where a variety of types of theater, scenery and costumes, caps, masks and various theatrical props (tickets, box office, posters, etc.) are presented. With the help of all these paraphernalia, in their free time, kids can develop their acting abilities by performing small performances, imagining themselves as various characters.

In the theatrical corner, children can act out performances on their own using various dolls, scenery, and costumes.

Conducting theatrical classes in the middle group

In order for the work on developing children’s creative abilities through theatrical activities to be effective, it is necessary to conduct it systematically and systematically, taking into account age, psychological and individual characteristics kids.

Individual approach in class

In theatrical activities, an individual approach is of particular importance. The teacher must create such conditions so that every preschooler has the opportunity to reveal their abilities. For these purposes, the following techniques are used:

  1. Choosing a role at will (according to the child’s character).
  2. Assigning timid and shy kids to key roles (this will allow them to overcome their fears, become more self-confident and increase self-esteem).
  3. Playing dialogues in pairs.
  4. If a child has problems with speech (many children of the fifth year of life still speak poorly, especially boys), then you need to choose a role for him, where the main effect is based on facial expressions and pantomime.
  5. If a preschooler remembers a large amount of text well, then you need to give him roles with a large number of words.
  6. Some children need to be given time to manipulate the toy before performing the play (the baby may want to talk to it).

Some children need to be given special attention during theater classes.

Motivating start to theatrical activities

Theatrical activity in the middle group is in itself a very exciting activity for children, especially if the teacher comes up with an intriguing motivation for it.

For example, a teacher shows the kids a beautiful chest - she found it on the way to kindergarten. There are fairy tale characters there (it could be “Teremok” or “Kolobok”, “Ryaba the Hen” or “Zayushkina’s Hut”, etc.). In order for the chest to open, children must solve riddles.

The beautiful chest contains fairy tale characters

Another option for starting a lesson is for the teacher to hold a ball of thread in his hands. It is not simple, but magical, it can lead you into a fairy tale. The ball rolls and leads the children to the toy Luntik. He tells the children that they really found themselves in a fairy tale, where animals and birds talk, and good always defeats evil.

Favorite cartoon character Luntik invites kids to a fairy tale

To interest children in theatrical activities, the teacher can dress up as a storyteller grandmother (Malanya or Arina) and invite the children to play with her. At the same time, it’s good to stylize the group room a little like a Russian hut - put a stove, painted wooden dishes, etc.

The teacher dresses up as a grandmother-storyteller

Another option for a motivating start to an activity that will certainly inspire children is an offer to turn into actors. Preschoolers love to transform into representatives of one profession or another. And being an actor is very interesting, because you can feel like anyone: a beautiful princess, a little puppy, a cowardly bunny.

The performance can be preceded by a short conversation about the theater. The guys remember whether they have theaters in their city, which ones (drama, puppet theaters), what the names of the people who work there are called. Thus, the activity takes on a patriotic orientation - the kids expand their knowledge about their hometown.

Options for topics for classes in the middle group

The very first classes in theatricalization should be of an introductory nature (“What is theater”, “The World of Theatre”, “Journey to the Theatre”, etc.). The teacher introduces the children to the theater, explains its internal structure, and shows photographs of beautiful buildings. Preschoolers learn that there are drama and puppet theaters and become familiar with the profession of an actor.

The children learn that all the theater buildings are very beautiful and majestic

In subsequent lessons, children act out short scenes in which they learn to express certain emotions through intonation, facial expressions and gestures (for example, “Change your voice”, “Guess who I’ll show”, “Facial sketches at the mirror”), read poems expressively (for example, “What I can do” by B. Zakhoder).

The topics of the main block of classes on theatrical performance in the middle group are related to Russian folk and literary fairy tales. The teacher performs with the children performances based on the following works: “Kolobok”, “Teremok”, “Hen Ryaba”, “Zayushkina’s Hut”, “Three Bears”, “Kolobok - a prickly side” by V. Bianchi, “Who said “Meow”, “ Under the mushroom” by V. Suteev, “My phone rang” by K. Chukovsky.

Based on the fairy tale “Under the Mushroom” by V. Suteev, you can stage both puppet and dramatic performances

Also, classes can have a patriotic orientation (“Theatres in my city”) or teach preschoolers politeness (various scenes from life are played out, where the children must use polite words).

Children of the fifth year of life can also practice the profession of screenwriter and director: come up with their own scenes from the life of toys (for example, “Where the toys live,” “The toys came to visit the doll Katya,” etc.).

Analysis and diagnostics of theatrical activities in the middle group

All classes on theatrical activities in the middle group are structured according to a similar scheme. First, the teacher immerses preschoolers in the topic and creates the necessary emotional mood. Then a specific sketch or performance is played out, where the kids demonstrate their creative abilities.

An obligatory stage of each lesson is an emotional conclusion. The teacher, together with the children, analyzes theatrical activities. The teacher gives preschoolers the opportunity to express their opinions and note what each of them liked most about the lesson. The guys remember what fairy tale they acted out, which tasks were easy and which seemed difficult. Thus, during the analysis, the teacher notes points that need to be worked on in the future, including in individual activities.

Theatrical activities in the middle group include diagnostics, which are carried out twice a year (usually October and May). The teacher indicates the skills and abilities that children should acquire by the end of academic year, notes how each child possesses them at the beginning of school (October) and then at the end of the year (May). Based on the data obtained, the teacher draws conclusions about the success of training.

To assess the level child development a three-point scale is used: good, satisfactory, unsatisfactory (some use a five-point system). Characteristics of a high level of development for diagnosis:

  1. Through intonation, facial expressions and gestures, he conveys the character and characteristics of the hero of the work.
  2. He knows how to transform into a character and improvise during the game.
  3. Pronounces the character's words clearly.
  4. Focuses on different types theater, owns toys, finger puppets, bibabo dolls, etc.
  5. Willingly participates in children's performances at preschool educational institutions.

Theatrical activities are close and accessible to children. After all, it is inherent in their very nature: the baby strives to transform any invention and impression from the environment into a living image. Pupils from the middle group enjoy participating in performances, love to dress in bright costumes, control puppets, and speak on their behalf. Such actions help the all-round development of the child; they help the overly active and emotional one to become more collected and purposeful, and the timid one, on the contrary, overcome shyness and self-doubt.
