Exercises for expressive speech


Exercises for expressive speechMany shy children having the opportunity to Express themselves in the game behind the screen puppet theatre, almost immediately begin to speak much freer and more expressive than ever before. Many, but not all. Sverhsoznaniya children and behind the screen said barely audible, and the wealth of inflections in their case there is nothing to dream of. So they should offer a special verbal games and exercises.



"Who is the greatest? " (for children 7-12 years old)


It is necessary to pronounce any word or phrase with different intonations. For example, a little "give" you could say demanding, pleading, imploringly, timid, frightened, indignant, hurt, etc. And "Hello" - joyous or sad, surprised, or disappointed, with love, with hate, indifference, arrogance, humility, contempt, promising, mysteriously and so on. and so on. The level of difficulty of this game depends primarily on the intellectual development of the child. According to the observations of many psychologists, today's children, especially those brought up on comics and stereotypical Western movies, pretty bad there are shades of emotions. And even more difficult to call them.


So this exercise is for them not only liberating, but also educational. Children older than 10 years (and, in principle, in this game you can play and adolescents) I would recommend to outline briefly the situation and where appropriate one or the other intonation.




"Guess that means"

(for children 7-12 year


When the game "Who is the greatest? " will be as follows mastered acquired by the child's ability to recognize intonation shades will give him the opportunity to cope with this game. Its essence in the following: leading, clenched jaws, "bellows" a word or short phrase, and players guess what he wanted to say. Naturally, in order not to drown in the vast sea of words, it is useful to outline the scope of the game. For example, to agree that the words will call the objects available in the room or in the courtyard villas. And you can tell the players a list of words (from 10 to 30, so that the children were not too hard but not too easy). As for phrases, it is better that they were emotionally coloured and different terroristicheskomu the picture: "Good boy! ", "Leave me alone! And please don't be angry! "Mama, it hurts me! ", "Hooray! ", "Poor darling", "wow! " and so. Learning to catch and reproduce the wrong intonation, closed, shy children will throw another bridge from themselves to others.





"Different voices" (for children 4-7years)


It is best to use this technique when playing puppet theatre. Staging tales, refer the child multiple roles and teach him to change the voice, when he speaks for the different characters. Very well suited for this purpose tales "Terem-Teremok", "cat house", "Kolobok". Children preduschelnogo age can, in addition, to portray the characters of fairy tales facial expressions and gestures, as well as to come up and play on the screen dialogue between fairy-tale characters. For example:


- The mouse-the Place tells the Frog-Wah, once she almost got caught by the Owl and Frog-Wah she sympathizes;


animals that had escaped the Bun, indignant and complain about it to each other;


- characters "Koskinou house back to yourself and discuss the reception that they gave the Cat;


Kittens freeze on the street and try to cheer each other, telling funny stories.





"Tell me a poem" (game proposed by C. Levi, suitable for children 8-12 years old)


This role-playing exercises, giving the child the opportunity to mentally "try on" different situations and to analyze the impression it can make on others, being in the role. Ask him to tell some poem (simple, so that it is not strained, remembering the words, and could focus all attention on the intonation). But to tell the poem need not simply, as:


- whisper


- maximum volume


- with machine-gun speed,


with the speed of a snail,


as a robot,


- as a foreigner.


You can, of course, be included in the job and their options.
