Traditionally, the "plays" performed at kindergarten and nursery school recitals often involved elaborate costumes, difficult lines, and stage props, as well as many songs within the play, giving the children a strong sense of being forced to perform. Amidst this, the authors have been engaged in creating plays for young children through gesture expression in kindergartens and nursery schools in Osaka. With minimal costumes and only essential words for the play, the children expressed themselves vividly through their bodies. This book introduces "gesture expression" and "pretend play," where children embody familiar nature and their surroundings and express themselves as if they were something else. It also presents practical examples for each age group, showing the process of creating "plays" from "gesture expression" using picture books and children's literature, in collaboration with children and educators. Furthermore, it includes analyses of picture book materials and play creation practices from classes with students aspiring to become nursery teachers and kindergarten teachers.
