Abstract

In recent years, with the support of national policies, Chinese drama pedagogy stayed in a significant stage of development. The preschool period is the social development stage of young children. The social development of young children affects all aspects of psychological development and directly influences the final formation of children's personalities. This paper has preschool children (3-6 years old) as participants and uses experiential reading picture book thematic curriculum as examples. Based on these participants and examples, they argue how to apply dramatic play in preschool education for young children through describing and discussing the drama pedagogy from picture books to process drama in early childhood education and through exploring the theoretical significance of children’s rights and protection and young children’s socialization in early childhood education. This paper also helps preschool children better adapt to their future social life, learn social rules, enrich their positive emotions, and promote the full development of young children's moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and social aspects through proper guidance.
