This document provides information about a presentation in Lithuania from May 10-14, 2016 on using drama as a teaching strategy for preschoolers. The Romanian educational system does not include drama as a subject in its national curriculum, but optional drama classes can be chosen by teachers with parental and student approval. While uncommon, drama is part of kindergarten and school activities through role-playing, making puppets, getting familiar with the elements of drama, and participating in or going to see plays. Examples of dramatic activities used in one school include dramatizing stories using puppets, costumes, finger puppets, masks, and role-playing while reading.

2. The Romanian
educational system has
not the subject DRAMA in
the national curriculum.
Still there can be optional
classes with such a topic,
and only after the
teachers ask the opinion
of parents and children,
they can choose to teach
Drama in class.
Even though this doesn’t happen very often and there is
not such a class, drama is part of the kindergarten or
school activities in various forms.
