DRAMA PLAY IN WORKING WITH PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

NajmlaĎa djeca shvaćaju da svojim plesom ili grimasama mogu kod odraslih izmamiti osmijeh, što takvo ponašanje čini vrstom dramske igre. Veselo okruţenje koje pritom prati dramsku igru ukazuje na vezu dramske igre sa smijehom i zabavom. Prepoznavanje vitalnih elemenata dramske igre ukazuje na mogućnosti koje se odgajateljima pruţaju pri poticanju, kreiranju i razumijevanju uloga dramske igre kao vaţnog segmenta odgojno-obrazovnog rada u predškolskoj ustanovi. Djeca se vrlo rano susreću s različitim umjetničkim tekstovima, plesom, pokretom i glazbom. Sve to pripada elementima dramske igre, no i dramskoj umjetnosti. Iako dramska igra i dramska umjetnost imaju drugačija ishodišta, njihova se poveznica ogleda upravo u navedenim elementima. Dramska je igra dio dramskog odgoja, no neosporno je da se unutar nje pojavljuju i elementi scenske umjetnosti, potom koncepti dramske igre, s osobitim obzirom na dramske pojmove i scenske forme koje se u njoj ostvaruju. U praktičnom dijelu rada prikazane su fotografije s vidljivim izvoĎenjima i praćenjima dramske igre u DV Cvrčak-Solin, gdje se pokušao prikazati estetski potencijal dramskih igara. S obzirom na to, u zaključku rada još će se jednom naglasiti vaţnost i potreba izvoĎenja dječje igre u predškolskim ustanovama zbog svih dobrobiti koje djeci pruţa, uključujući pravilno izraţavanje i bogaćenje rječnika.The youngest children understand that they can make adults smile with their dance or grimaces, which makes such behavior a form of drama game. The cheerful environment accompanying the drama game indicates that the drama game is connected with laughter and entertainment. Recognizing the vital elements of the drama game points to the possibilities educators have at their disposal when encouraging, creating and understanding the roles of the drama game as an important segment of educational practice in preschool institutions. Children encounter different literary texts, dance, movement and music at an early age. These are all elements of the drama game and the art of drama. Although the drama game and the art of drama have different origins, their link is reflected precisely in the mentioned elements. Drama game is a part of drama education. Still, it undeniably contains elements of performing arts as well as concepts of drama, with special regard to drama terminology and stage forms that are realized within the drama game. In the practical part of the paper, there are photos showing the performances and monitoring of the drama game in the Kindergarten Cvrčak-Solin. This was an attempt to present the aesthetic potential of drama games. Consequently, in the conclusion, the importance of children's game in preschool institutions and the need to take part in the game will be highlighted once again, because of all the benefits game provides to children, including correct expression and vocabulary enrichment
