La pequeña cerillera de Hans Christian Andersen: Dramatización de un cuento en Educación Infantil.

Abstract

Early Childhood Education is one of the most important stages in the foundation of children's personality. It is at this moment when the foundations of all the knowledge acquired throughout life are created. The stories are one of the most effective tools, together with the symbolic games, to achieve a complete development of the learner in the first years of schooling (Bassedas, Huguet and Solé, 2006). This article presents the main sections of the written work, which accompanies the dramatization of the story The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen and the link to the video of the performance, made by the students of the last year of Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education, in the Faculty of Education (University of A Coruña). This dramatization was designed to take place in Pre-Primary Schools with the aim of transmitting to children among three and six years old, values such as solidarity and compassion, as well as an approach to such an important topic as death, considered taboo in many schools (De la Herrán, nd).
