THE ROLE OF PLAY IN BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PEERSIN THE PRESCHOOL GROUP

Abstract

The main purpose of the article is to study the importance of plays in building relationships between peers. The method of diagnostic survey was used to conduct the research, the research technique was a survey, and the tool was a questionnaire. The projective technique was also used. Its tool was the test of unfinished sentences. The play has a significant role in building relationships between peers in a preschool group. The child's adaptation to the new environment is also of great importance here. It is because the relations between the charges are also conditioned by a friendly atmosphere and positive attitude toward peers, teachers, and the institution. Children's attitude towards preschool is usually positive, and no negative feelings are noticed among children. It means that preschoolers feel good in the facility they attend. They like it, and they love playing with each other. Although, sometimes, there are aggressive behaviors to which the teacher should react appropriately. Positive relations between the teacher and the child are essential elements of a properly functioning preschool institution. Teachers know about this sympathy; they know that children take their personalities into account. Good relations with peers and appropriate contact with the teacher are also the most crucial factors in building relationships between children; the atmosphere in the facility is also significant, as the environment, the organization of the teacher's work, the level of the child's development, or the equipment of the facility.
