Theater

/drama/ as a

pedagogical

strategy in

Kindergarten

Drama: teach and learn

We start by reading a big number of children’s

books and introducing the dolls to the children.

The teacher explains the emotional state of the

character and encourages the child to express his

emotion

The story (fairytale) should be mastered by the

children in order for them to be able to recreate it.

The favourite

fairytale of the

children in

kindergarten

„Latinka“ is „The

little red riding

hood“ by Charles

Perrault

We acquire various ways for dramatization – facial

expressions, gestures, movement .

Dramatisation of Bulgarian national fairytales- every child is

trying to quote the character and to express exactly his

emotional state.

Desktop theater – the children love to tell stories

and to embody the characters.

Puppet dramatisations – another way to reproduce

a work of art.

The teacher often is in the

part of a favourite

character.

We participate in municipal and national theatrical

festivals on the big stage.

„101 Dalmatians “ by

Dodie Smith

Our actors playing on the stage of the theater the

characters from the fairytale “Cinderella” by Charles

Perrault
