25 Dramatic Play Themes for Preschoolers

Do you need some fresh, new ideas for dramatic play themes in your preschool or Pre-K classroom? Young children learn best through play. When children engage in pretend, or dramatic play, they’re developing many important skills that will help them build a strong foundation for future success in school.

Peer-to-peer conversations build expressive and receptive oral language and communication skills. Children learn how to share and cooperate with the materials in a meaningful way.

When dressing and undressing baby dolls fine motor skills are being developed.

If planned carefully, literacy, math, and writing skills can also be incorporated into the dramatic play center. Here are some of my favorite themes for the dramatic play center.

Non-ghostly "Mirage"

The Milovskiy People's Theater "Mirage" in the Ufimsky region recently celebrated its 35th anniversary. Director Honored Worker of Culture of the Republic of Bashkortostan Natalya Mikhailovna Khalevina, its creator, inspirer and leader, throughout all this time strives to ensure that the team corresponds to the title of the people: the repertoire was relevant and interesting for the viewer, the acting level was high, the performances were inspiring.

There were many victories on the creative path of the Mirage Folk Theater, noted by authoritative theater critics. It all started in 1986 with the organization of a drama circle in Milovka. Already in March 1987, the first premiere of the performance based on the play “Obukhovka needs eccentrics” took place.

— In the 1980s, it was popular to stage comedies that made fun of drunkards, lazy people, violators of labor discipline, — says Natalya Khalevina. - The performance involved workers of the House of Culture, Agriculture, teachers. At the origins of our theater were real lovers of theatrical art: A. Kadesnikov, A. Arefieva, M. Karimov, V. Reshetnikov. For many years they have not been with us, but thanks to these talented people, the theater is still alive.

— When the theater was preparing for its 10th anniversary, I decided to try to put on a play based on A.P. Chekhov, — continues the director. - I chose the play "Uncle Vanya".

It was 1996, our republic and the Ufimsky district were preparing for the meeting of the first President of the Russian Federation Yeltsin. I was appointed responsible for the exhibition of folk art, curated by Karima Kaidalova (now the head of the Ural exhibition hall). She told me: “The Ufa region is famous for its choirs all over the republic, but you don’t have a single theater group!” And I answer her: “Why not? Eat! in Milovka. She did not come to the premiere of "Uncle Vanya" alone, but with specialists from the Center for Folk Art of the Republic of Belarus. In September, an order was issued by the Minister of Culture on conferring the title of national to our team.

Natalya Khalevina herself comes from the village of Andreevka, Aurgazinsky district. Managed the Andreevsky rural club. Graduated from the Sterlitamak Cultural and Educational College with a degree in Organizer of Club Work, Head of an Amateur Drama Group. In 1986, the family moved to the Ufa region, to Milovka, and here she became the artistic director of the Palace of Culture of the educational and experimental farm of the Bashkir Agricultural Institute. In 1991, Natalya Mikhailovna headed the Milovskiy Palace of Culture, worked as a director until 2014, without stopping working with the theater group. In 2005 she graduated from the Bashkir Academy of Arts named after Z. Ismagilov.

Mirage's repertoire is varied. These are the classic plays by Alexander Ostrovsky: Thunderstorm, Profitable Place, Our People - Let's Settle, by Soviet playwrights - Viktor Rozov, Mikhail Roshchin, Boris Vasiliev, Valentin Rasputin. Performances based on the play by Florida Bulyakov “Valenki”, Mustai Karim “Country of Aigul”, are also staged by modern authors: these are Natalia Moshina, Irina Agapova, Diana Balyka.

Irina Agapova, having learned that the theater had staged her play "The Cauldron of Silver Dope", asked to send a video of the performance - so the theater became a participant in the Moscow International Theater Festival "Davydovsky", where it received a diploma of the 1st degree in the nomination "Modern Images". And as a gift, Irina Agapova sent him her new play.

- The main composition of our team has not changed for many years, - says the head of Mirage. - These are both stars and theatrical "long-livers" - Olga Abdrashitova, Irina Dyakonova, Nelya Akhmedyanova. Valery Nigmatullin, Vladislav Shalygin have been serving the theater for over twenty years, Alexei Gorshenin for 15 years. There are also young people: Rustam Ramazanov, Vadim and Alina Repin.

Another brainchild of Natalya Mikhailovna is the exemplary children's theater Sputnik. It formed in 2014.

— That year was especially important and significant for me. I made a very difficult decision for myself - to leave the position of director and focus only on theater. Because there were many ideas and plans. It was decided to create a children's theater. I have never worked with children, so I immediately told my parents: “We will study together.” And already in 2017, with a children's play based on Ulrich Hub's play "At the Ark at 8" and a play based on Irina Tanunina's play "I Love You All", we received the title of exemplary. In 2020, the senior children's group confirmed this title with the play "Country of Aigul" in the Ufa Children's Philharmonic.

“Our theater is one big friendly family,” Khalevina says. We celebrate birthdays and anniversaries together. We are having an interesting International Theater Day and Theater Night. Adult theater actors always come to children's premieres. And the artists of the senior group of the children's theater are already playing on the "adult" stage. We are participants of Sabantuy and Aksakov's holiday in the village of Zubovo, Shrovetide and the New Year. The team lives a rich creative life, interesting and fruitful. Now a poetry event is taking place in the club, where our actors read poetry with pleasure.

The creative evening dedicated to the anniversary of the Mirage was opened by nine muses, and the event was led by those related to theatrical art: the muse of the comedy Thalia (Maria Teplyakova) and the muse of the tragedy Melpomene (Lyudmila Balashova), as well as the Man of the Theater (Rustam Ramazanov) ).
