Additional program for theater activities in kindergarten
Relevance of the program: One of the important problems common in our society among young people is indifference and lack of interests. They do not leave the computer, playing computer games day and night; they are not interested in anything else. In addition, young people have many complexes. They lack initiative, are not independent, are uncommunicative, constrained, and shy outside the virtual world. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to awaken some kind of interest in children at preschool age, develop independence, sociability, creativity, and help overcome shyness and stiffness. And the most fertile ground for this is the theater. In the theater, a child reveals all his capabilities; he feels not himself, but the hero he plays. Therefore, he loses his shyness, stiffness of movements, and all the complexes he has disappear. Direction of the program: This program is aimed at educating a creative person in the process of theatrical activity, developing his independence, activity, initiative in the process of mastering the skills of theatrical activity, as well as in other types of activities: communicative, artistic-aesthetic, cognitive. Showing your “I” in drawing, folk arts, in creating poems, inventing stories, expressing a stage image, in your vision of some kind of cognitive problem, but at the same time respect for the team, the ability to make compromises are important points this program. Novelty of the program: At preschool age, children are imitative, not independent, creativity is shown only slightly. Children repeat after the teacher and other children a story, a drawing, an image. This program is aimed at developing children's independence in artistic creativity and activity. I want to teach children to come up with their own games, fairy tales, stories, scenarios, and convey the stage image in their own way. Don’t copy someone else’s, but create and fantasize yourself. The program promotes the development of observation skills in children. Only by observing the behavior of animals and people can children understand the real feelings of those observed and convey these feelings to the viewer. This program covers, in addition to theater, other types of activities: educational, artistic and aesthetic, communicative. Children also show creativity in visual arts - they independently choose material for making various types of theaters, depict fairy tale heroes in their own way, conveying in the drawing their attitude towards him, how he imagines, sees this hero, conveys in the drawing episodes of the story invented by him. In communicative activities, children express their own opinions: “I believe,” “I believe.” It is important to teach a child to think, reflect, and not be afraid to express his own opinion, different from the opinions of others. Explanatory note Artistic and aesthetic education occupies one of the leading places in the content of the educational process of a preschool educational institution and is its priority direction. For the aesthetic development of a child’s personality, a variety of artistic activities are of great importance - visual, musical, artistic and speech, etc. An important task of aesthetic education is the formation in children of aesthetic interests, needs, aesthetic taste, as well as creative abilities . Theatrical activities provide a rich field for the aesthetic development of children, as well as the development of their creative abilities. In this regard, additional classes on theatrical activities have been introduced at the preschool educational institution, which are conducted by a teacher of additional education. Theater activities help develop the child’s interests and abilities; contribute to overall development; manifestation of curiosity, desire to learn new things, assimilation of new information and new ways of acting, development of associative thinking; perseverance, determination, manifestation of general intelligence, emotions when playing roles. In addition, theatrical activities require the child to be decisive, systematic in work, and hardworking, which contributes to the formation of strong-willed character traits. The child develops the ability to combine images, intuition, ingenuity and inventiveness, and the ability to improvise. Theatrical activities and frequent performances on stage in front of spectators contribute to the realization of the child’s creative powers and spiritual needs, emancipation and increased self-esteem. Alternating the functions of performer and spectator, which the child constantly takes on, helps him demonstrate to his comrades his position, skills, knowledge, imagination. Exercises for the development of speech, breathing and voice improve the child’s speech apparatus. Performing game tasks in the images of animals and characters from fairy tales helps to better master your body and realize the plastic possibilities of movements. Theatrical games and performances allow children to immerse themselves in the world of fantasy with great interest and ease, and teach them to notice and evaluate their own and others’ mistakes. Children become more relaxed and sociable; they learn to clearly formulate their thoughts and express them publicly, to feel and understand the world around them more subtly. Using the program allows you to stimulate children’s ability to imaginatively and freely perceive the world around them (people, cultural values, nature), which, developing in parallel with traditional rational perception, expands and enriches it. The child begins to feel that logic is not the only way to understand the world, that what is not always clear and ordinary can be beautiful. Having realized that there is no one truth for everyone, the child learns to respect other people’s opinions, be tolerant of different points of view, learns to transform the world, using fantasy, imagination, and communication with people around him. This program describes a training course in theatrical activities for preschool children aged 4-7 years (middle, high and preparatory groups). It was developed on the basis of the mandatory minimum content for theatrical activities for preschool educational institutions, taking into account the updating of content for various programs described in the literature. The goal of the program is to develop children's creative abilities through theatrical art, to develop children's interest in theatrical activities.

The program is compiled taking into account the implementation of interdisciplinary connections in the following sections: 1. Artistic and aesthetic: “Musical education”, where children learn to hear different emotional states in music and convey them with movements, gestures, facial expressions; listen to the music for the next performance, noting its varied content, which makes it possible to more fully appreciate and understand the character of the hero, his image. “Visual activity”, where children get acquainted with illustrations that are close in content to the plot of the play, learn to draw with different materials based on the plot of the play or its individual characters. “Rhythmics”, where children learn to convey the image of a hero, his character, and mood through dance movements. 2. “Speech development”, in which children develop clear, clear diction, work is being done on the development of the articulatory apparatus using tongue twisters, tongue twisters, and nursery rhymes. 3. “Educational”, where children get acquainted with literary works that will form the basis for the upcoming production of the play and other forms of organizing theatrical activities (classes in theatrical activities, theatrical games in other classes, holidays and entertainment, in everyday life, independent theatrical activities of children). 4. “Social - communicative”, where children get acquainted with the phenomena of social life, objects of the immediate environment, natural phenomena, which will serve as material included in the content of theatrical games and exercises. Interaction with parents and specialists: The work of the circle is more efficient and effective with the participation of specialists from preschool educational institutions: we resort to consultation with a teacher-psychologist to solve social and moral problems in children. Advice from a speech therapist helps improve the speech skills of preschoolers. Other teachers take part in holidays and entertainment in the role of characters. Parents provide assistance in making attributes and costumes for the holidays; participate as characters. Conversations with parents and their participation in the work of the circle help at home to consolidate the knowledge and skills acquired by children in classes and, thereby, achieve the results we want. Expected results: Children master expressive speech skills, rules of behavior, etiquette for communicating with peers and adults. Show interest and desire for theatrical art. They are able to convey various feelings using facial expressions, gestures, and intonation. They independently perform and convey images of fairy-tale characters. Children try to feel confident during performances. The subject-spatial developmental environment of the preschool educational institution was supplemented with different types of theaters, manuals, drawings, and card files of creative games. Close contact has been established with parents. SUGGESTED ABILITIES AND SKILLS 2nd junior group Able to act in a coordinated manner. They know how to relieve tension from individual muscle groups.
