The importance of dramatization in preschool education
Speech development is an important component that influences the harmonious development of personality. Correct speech is not only the basis for successful literacy acquisition, but also socialization in society. And the theatricalization of fairy tales in the middle group is an effective way of forming it.
Theatrical performance
For preschool children, the leading type of activity is play. Therefore, all the knowledge they gain during the game is absorbed more effectively. Children do not need to be forced to study: they themselves will be happy to participate in such an educational process. Dramatization has a positive effect on:
- vocabulary - it is enriched and the meaning of words is clarified;
- grammatical structure of speech - taking artistic speech as a model, the preschooler will construct his sentences correctly;
- prosody - speech becomes intonationally colored, diction improves, children master the skill of controlling the pitch and strength of the voice;
- the quality of coherent speech improves.
Important! Dramatizing a fairy tale in the middle group helps to develop a “linguistic sense.” During the production and performance, children can improvise and use proverbs and sayings in coherent speech. All this contributes to the further successful mastery of the linguistic norms of the native language.
Staging children's fairy tales has a positive effect on the emotional and volitional sphere. Children become less inhibited, cease to be afraid of public speaking, and make contact more easily. Dramatization teaches children to better understand the emotions of people around them. This is especially important for those who have speech impairments because they find it difficult to understand the emotional state of other people.
Another of the main goals of children's theatrical activities is to introduce the preschooler to the artistic style and features of folk culture. Therefore, educators most often choose Russian folk tales or famous works of children's writers for production.
Lesson in kindergarten
Several types of dramatization are used in preschool activities:
- games that imitate the habits of animals, people or famous literary characters;
- dialogue;
- dramatization of famous works;
- improvisation games, when they act out performances without preparation.
You need to start getting acquainted with the world of theater by staging simple scenes, gradually moving on to more complex ones, for example, improvisation. Theatrical activities can be implemented both within the group and at the preschool level at festive events.

The characters' phrases are easier to remember, which is why this Russian fairy tale is often chosen for classes in the middle group.

"Turnip"
This fairy tale is also introduced to children in middle preschool age. You can choose a child or use props in the role of Turnip. The main characters are Grandmother, Grandfather, Granddaughter, Bug (dog), Cat and Mouse.

The lexical topics covered are appropriate for the children's age, so they will be able to understand what the fairy tale was about.

He asks questions about what the plot was about, which of the characters is positive and which is negative, why they think so, and other similar questions. Children understand the characters better and will be able to convey them better.
During such a conversation, children learn to express their opinions, which has a positive effect on the quality of coherent speech. The vocabulary is enriched and clarified, sentences become more grammatically correct.

Tips for implementing theatrical games
To conduct the lesson, it is necessary to draw up a note in which all goals and objectives will be written in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard. A number of conditions must also be met for the implementation of theatrical activities:
- Take the selection of literary works seriously. Their volume should be age appropriate, so preference is given to fairy tales.
- Make a plan for the implementation of the work.
- From an early age, children need to be introduced to the artistic word (rhymes, ditties).
- An adult’s speech should be intonationally colored.
- From an early age, accustom children to theatrical activities (finger theater, acting out scenes with toys).
Children not only like to listen to fairy tales, but also to feel like they are in the shoes of the characters. Of course, not everyone wants to take on the role of negative characters. Therefore, the teacher must explain to the child why playing a wolf or a fox is just as interesting as playing good heroes. Theatrical games are an opportunity not only to correct speech development, but also to make a child sociable and introduce him to the world of theater.
