The earliest children's dramas in China can be traced back to the 1920s. At that time, China's early childhood education had just started, and early childhood drama gradually became an important part of early childhood education. At that time, children's drama was mainly founded and promoted by some progressive early childhood educators and teachers.

The earliest children's drama was applied to kindergarten education. In the 1920s, the communication between Chinese and foreign preschool education began to strengthen gradually, and many advanced foreign preschool education concepts and methods were gradually introduced into China. Among them, children's drama is an innovative concept of children's education from abroad, which has attracted the attention and admiration of domestic education circles.

1965-1In the early 1920s, some progressive early childhood educators and teachers in Shanghai began to try to use the educational methods and means of early childhood drama in kindergartens. They believe that through the form of children's drama, children can learn through play, enhance their expressiveness and self-confidence, and at the same time promote their language, thinking and emotional development.

At that time, children's drama was still in its infancy, with simple form and content, and most of them were small theaters written and directed by children. However, this kind of education has been recognized and popularized by more and more preschool educators, and gradually formed a unique preschool drama education model.

With the passage of time, children's drama has gradually been widely used in early childhood education, and has also been recognized and supported by more and more parents and society. Nowadays, children's drama has become an indispensable part of children's education, and more and more kindergartens have begun to attach importance to the teaching and promotion of children's drama in order to promote children's all-round development and growth.
