INCORPORATING IMPROVISED PUPPETS INTO EVERYDAY WORK AT KINDERGARTEN

V teoretičnem delu diplomske naloge je na podlagi strokovne literature opredeljena igra in njen pomen v otrokovem razvoju. V nadaljevanju je predstavljena lutka, njena vloga pri otroški igri ter njena povezanost s kurikulumom. V zadnjem delu pa so predstavljene improvizirane lutke ter njihova vsakdanja uporaba v vrtcu z otroki. Namen praktičnega dela je bila uporaba improviziranih lutk v vzgojno- izobraževalnem procesu. Ta del diplomske naloge nazorno prikazuje priprave lutkovnih zaposlitev. Predstavljene so priprave za izvajanje lutkovne dejavnosti z natančno zastavljenimi cilji, potekom dela, kakor tudi z evalvacijo. Dodan je tudi slikovni material, ki je nastal ob izvajanju dejavnosti v Vrtcu Leskovec pri Krškem, v starostni skupini 3-6 let. Projekt je zajemal pet priprav, v katere so bila vključena vsa vzgojna področja iz Kurikula. Izvajanje dejavnosti je potekalo štiri tedne. Otroci so zavzeto in z zanimanjem sodelovali v vseh načrtovanih dejavnostih, ki smo jih pripravili. Pri tem smo jih spodbujali, upoštevali njihove interese, sposobnosti, jih usmerjali in pomagali pri uresničitvi njihovih idej in želja. S projektom smo dosegli namen ter na podlagi različnih improviziranih lutk izvedli različne aktivnosti in zaposlitve. Otrokom smo ponudili prijetno izkušnjo ob igri z improviziranimi lutkami.The theoretical part of this thesis defines the play and its importance in a child\u27s development on the basis of specialized literature.
