Currently, there are more and more children with inadequate self-esteem; the child is tense or disinhibited, resulting in problems with communication. Therefore, teachers should take care of the social and emotional development of preschool children, the formation of such qualities as: sociability, activity, independence, initiative. A child’s mastery of culture and universal human experience is impossible without interaction and communication with other people. Through communication, the development of consciousness and higher mental functions occurs. Preschool age is the most important stage in personality development. By playing, studying, communicating with adults and peers, the child learns to live next to others, tries to take into account their interests, rules and norms of behavior in society, i.e. becomes socially competent. The main goal in working with children is to develop in the child an active creative perception of music, the ability to enjoy contact with music, play, joint actions of peers, cultivating goodwill and the ability to be sociable. Musical communication games contribute to this.

Musical communicative games are games using music, the main task of which is to include preschool children in interpersonal relationships, create conditions for the free and natural manifestation of their individual qualities, develop a sense of rhythm, pitch hearing, diatonic hearing, vocal and dance creativity of children. Through communicative musical dances and games, the following tasks are effectively implemented:

1. Development of the dynamic side of communication: ease of making contact, initiative, readiness to communicate with peers.
2. Development of empathy, sympathy for a partner, emotionality and expressiveness of non-verbal means of communication.
3. Self confidence.

Communicative dances - games are mainly dances with simple movements, including elements of non-verbal communication, changing partners, game tasks, competitions (who can dance better), etc. The origin of this material is associated with the folklore of different nations. Subsequently, the use of such dances when spending leisure time with children and adults gave rise to many variations.

The following communicative games can be used when working with children: Game-acquaintance “We have gathered today, who are you?” — this game allows a child to successfully adapt to a group. For example, during the game, children stand in a circle and sing “We are today, we are today, we have gathered today ,” one child at this time - the leader walks in a circle, at the end of the musical phrase he approaches the child and sings: “Who are you?” , the child participant sings his name. The leader takes the place of the child who answered, he becomes the leader, walks in a circle, and the game continues. “Fantasy games” are aimed at developing children’s imagination in the process of perceiving musical works, the ability to coordinate their actions in pairs and groups. For example, during the game “Draw Music”, children are asked to express their feelings, thoughts, sensations that arose under the impression of the music they heard and come up with a plot picture for it in pairs or in a group of 3-5 people. Children come to an agreement in the process of inventing and building a common storyline, and express their musical impressions in drawings. You can arrange an exhibition of children's creative works “We draw music” . “Massage games” are based on tactile sensations, performed in pairs, children agree who will be the first to massage to the music. Games for the development of dance and vocal creativity ( “Mirror” , dance - game “If you like it, then do it!” , “Come up with a sparrow song”, etc.) encourage children to jointly come up with dance compositions and simple musical melodies.

The most popular form of communicative musical games are dances with changing partners, which are found in the folklore of different nations. The movements and figures in them are very simple, accessible to even small children. These dances, as a rule, have game plots, which makes them even easier to remember. The value of dancing with changing partners is that they help increase self-esteem in those children who feel insecure in a children's group. Since such dances are based mainly on gestures and movements that in everyday life express friendliness and open attitude of people to each other, then in general they reproduce positive, joyful emotions. Tactile contact carried out in dance further contributes to the development of friendly relationships between children and, thereby, the normalization of the social microclimate in the children's group. Communicative dances: “Invitation” , “Here we say hello” , “Dance with me, my friend” , “At mine, at yours” , polka “Well, goodbye!” “Lavata” , “Dancing with Mom” , “Musical Train” others. These are several simple dance movements, including elements of non-verbal communication and improvisation, aimed at forming and developing relationships with partners and the group. These dances develop ease of making contact, initiative, and readiness to communicate.

The value and benefits of communicative dance games are obvious. They can and should be used in a wide variety of forms of work with children - both at educational activities, and at holidays, and at entertainment. Since this material is accessible and at the same time attractive, evoking bright positive emotions, it can be successfully included in correctional work with children with various developmental pathologies.

It is especially important to use communicative dances - games when holding joint holidays with parents, where parents are not only guests, but also active performers.
