Sažetak
This paper presents the roll of Creative Drama activities in preschool education. Generally, the objective of Creative Drama is to prepare a formal presentation for the audience. However, what is important for a teacher is the process in which these activities take place. Drama becomes a medium for expressing the child’s understanding of the world, literature, nature, social relations etc. During a child’s creative drama play, a teacher sees the puppet, masks or play as a medium for communication and personal interaction. For a child, the greatest motivation is the preparation of the puppet show, during which s/he quickly achieves the goals that were set. At the same time, the teacher focuses on the process, in which s/he constantly monitors the child and motivates her/him. We find similarities between artistic activities in Curriculum for Preschool (1999) and the Reggio Emilia educational approach, according to which a child is born with a hundred languages of expression and here is where a teacher’s central role to intentionally enable and encourage all forms of expression lies. This paper describes different creative material and non-material stimuli which should be offered to a child to create and express her/himself in hundred languages. The role of a preschool teacher in the creative process is also described. In conclusion we present an example of good practice, focusing on creative process within creative puppetry.
