Different motives have always been the drivers in different imaginative creations and expressions. Looking at the period of early and preschool education as a period of children's accelerated socio-emotional, cognitive and physical development, it is important to keep in mind the overall developmental interest that is encouraged by different motives through children’s poetry. This paper presents winter motifs in plays for children by different authors. Winter is always interesting for children because, apart from snow and winter activities, winter is associated with the holiday period. To that extent, plays with this motif are suitable for staging in educational groups. Plays as a literary genre for children are more and more present, but we also have a situation where, due to the inappropriateness of plays (demanding expressions and long sentences), preschool teachers decide on an independent dramatization and adaptation of this type of drama in ECE settings. With this master thesis work, I tried to encourage future preschool teachers, and those who are already teachers, to be as intense and courageous as possible, and also to have a responsible and thoughtful approach to the drama-stage process and its use in practice.
