Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp
En la segunda evaluación hemos arrancado con una obra de teatro, elegida cada grupo de entre tantas presentadas en un guión proporcionado por el profesor. Dichas obras estaban basadas en los famosos cuentos tradicionales comúnmente conocidos como Rizitos de Oro y los tres ositos, Caperucita Roja, El Hombre de Genjibre o Los tres cerditos, entre otras.
Las obras de teatro son un recurso favorecedor entre los más pequeños. Les permiten memorizar y comprender a través de frases que se combinan con gestos y movimiento, empleando tanto el lenguaje verbal como el no verbal. Además, actúa como elemento motivador, pues a los niños les apasiona el hecho de disfrazarse, montar el escenario y utilizar materiales que van a ser indispensables, como por ejemplo títeres, marionetas o cualquier otro tipo de elementos que ayudarán a enriquecer la representación.
Por todos estos motivos, hemos elaborado pequeñas obras de teatro que han sido representadas a nuestros compañeros, poniéndonos en la piel de los niños. En mi grupo hemos escogido la obra de Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp.
ANÁLISIS
1. Edad de los alumnos a los que va dirigida la actividad.
5 – 6 años porque ya tienen un nivel de comprensión mayor, entienden todo lo producido, emplean la gramática de manera casi correcta y además se inician en la lectura y escritura. Se podría representar para niños más pequeños con la intención de divertirlos y entretenerlos con un decorado y un vestuario atractivo y colorido.
2.
Objetivos de la actividad.
- Identificar a los distintos personajes.
- Divertirse.
- Distinguir los diferentes escenarios.
- Conocer el cuento tradicional de Aladdín.
3. Cuándo (a largo y corto plazo) y dónde se llevaría a cabo y por qué.
Lo llevaríamos a cabo al final del tercer trimestre, ya que han adquirido conocimientos durante todo el curso en aspectos como la comprensión, la expresión y la pronunciación. Lo pondríamos en práctica tras el recreo ya que los niños están más tranquilos por la descarga psicomotriz realizada en el patio; así podemos organizar la actividad.

8. Juego asociado al teatro.
Consiste en un juego de asociación. Les pedimos a los niños que recuerden el personaje que les mostramos en forma de dibujo, a continuación saldrán de manera voluntaria al escenario para colocarlos en uno de los dos fondos preparados; el desierto y el palacio del Sultán. Hacemos estos dos escenarios porque la representación se divide en dos actos, en los cuales aparecen distintos personajes.
