Seminar-workshop on fairy tale therapy for teachers on the topic: “Fairy tale kaleidoscope”

Tasks:

Development of creativity, creative self-expression;

Creating harmony in the group.

Materials: sheets of F4 paper; paints, pencils, felt-tip pens; scissors; glue; magazines; audio cassette with a recording of calm music.

Fairytale therapy is experiencing a real boom in popularity. Numerous articles appear in newspapers and magazines. Family television and radio channels include in their programs stories about the importance of fairy tales in the development of a child. Most specialists in the education system, be it a computer science teacher, foreign language or educational psychologist, try to use the metaphorical language of a fairy tale in their work.

The attractiveness of fairy tale therapy for teachers can be explained, first of all, by its versatility:

The tale is informative. Through the analysis of a fairy tale invented by a client, the psychologist receives information about his life, current state, ways of overcoming difficulties and ideological positions.

The fairy tale is environmentally friendly. Being not in ordinary, but in dramatic reality, both the client and the psychologist are emotionally protected. This reduces the risk of “burnout” and increases the client’s trust in the therapeutic process.

The tale is limitless. By complementing, changing, enriching the fairy tale, the client (psychologist) overcomes self-limitations and complements, changes and enriches his life.

The fairy tale is enchanting. The work of a psychologist, which is poor in demonstrativeness, gets the opportunity to be visible: turning to fairy tale therapy, he can use various dolls, costumes, musical instruments, artistic products of activity, and possibly psychological puppet or dramatic theater.

The story is emotional. Through participation in fairytale therapy sessions, a positive emotional charge accumulates and social immunity is strengthened.

The fairy tale is wise. Through a fairy tale, it is possible to convey new ways and algorithms for solving a problem situation to a child, parents or teachers.

Another great advantage of the fairy tale is the absence of age restrictions. It is effective not only with preschoolers or younger schoolchildren, for whom it is a “native language,” but also with adults.

The process of self-expression through a fairy tale is directly related to strengthening a person’s mental health and can be considered as a significant psycho-preventive factor. The use of fairy tale therapeutic technologies makes it possible to cope with one’s problems, restore emotional balance or eliminate existing behavioral disorders, overcome maladaptation, and promote intellectual development.

Now I suggest you sit down comfortably, you can close your eyes, and listen to one fairy tale (to calm music).

"The Tale of the Wizard"(meditation)

“It was a long time ago. There lived one amazing person in the world. He was handsome and kind. It's difficult to say how old he was. His eyes sparkled so provocatively that many thought: “He is very young.” But looking at his long gray beard and hair, others said: “He is old and wise.” This man knew how to do what others could not. He boiled with trees and flowers, animals and fish, underground waters and roots. He could cure a diseased plant, animal, and even a person. Many came to him for advice.

People called him the Wizard. No one knew where he came from, but they said that he used to be an ordinary person, like everyone else.

Generations changed, but the Wizard still lived among people, and they felt that they were under his protection.

One day the Wizard told people:

I lived among you for a long time. I feel like it's time for me to hit the road.

Why are you leaving us? - the people said sadly. “It won’t be easy for us without your protection and good advice.” Give us at least a piece of your wisdom, they asked.

Look around, said the Wizard, you live in wonderful world. Every day you can greet and see off the sun, listen to the rustling of the trees and the splashing of water, the crackling of logs in the fire and the breathing of the earth. Let's stop for a minute and listen. Do you feel it? Everything that surrounds us lives in its own Rhythm. And each of us has our own rhythm.

People froze, closed their eyes and heard the earth breathing evenly and calmly, the waves splashing on the shore - sometimes quickly, sometimes leisurely. And most importantly, each of them heard their own rhythm: a calm heartbeat, free breathing. And suddenly people were overcome by the feeling that something new and unusual was happening to them.

The amazing and magical grows inside us, they told the Wizard with delight.

It seems that you have discovered my most important secret,” the Wizard smiled. - After all, Magic is the ability to hear and feel the Rhythm of Nature, everything that surrounds us, and live in accordance with it, making amazing transformations around, creating the world around us. You just need to hear your Rhythm and awaken the Creator living inside everyone, and the Magic will begin.

How will we use it? - people asked.

You can imagine yourself as a healthy and beautiful person, look at your image and imprint it in your heart, and then sculpt it from clay,” answered the Wizard. - And gradually, even imperceptibly for yourself, you will begin to change.

You can learn to hear the inner Rhythm of another person, find harmony with your own Rhythm, and then every day will give you the joy of mutual understanding.

You can learn to see a lesson for yourself in every event, and then peace and clarity will replace worries and worries.”

And now I want to invite you to listen to yourself, to feel the life of 4 elements within yourself: earth, water, fire, air. In order for them to come to life, you now need to split into four groups (in a circle). Each group will show the power, beauty and necessity of one of the elements in our lives.

Subgroups conduct a short rehearsal and act out the action in front of the rest of the participants.

Discussion:

How did you choose the roles?

Who was the first to suggest using something?

How was the plot created?

“Anonymous gift” (drawing)

“Now, please, take some sheets of paper and try to depict the feelings that you are experiencing now. Everything you need can be found on the table.”

A recording of calm music is turned on, and group members perform work on the topic “My Feelings.” Each participant should be busy only with his own work. After the drawings are ready, all group members are invited to move them to a special place. At the same time, the authors of the works remain anonymous. Each group member reviews all the works and chooses the one that awakened a response in him, a desire to give a gift. After this, the group members make small gifts with wishes and place them on the works that they like. If someone’s work is left without a gift, the group makes a collective gift for this participant.

“Look at the wonderful creations you have made. And may everything that you have created here be Everyday life helps you understand yourself better.”

For example. The guys and I read and analyze the fairy tale by R. Kip-

he had a big mouth. And indiscriminately he ate every kind of

teachers like to use), but it is not known whether there is between these

there is a fundamental difference in terms. “Fairytale therapy”, perhaps

sounds nicer.

you begin to consider the fairy tale from different points, on different

levels, it turns out that fairy tales contain

information about the dynamics of life processes. In fairy tales

can be found full list human problems and figurative

A fairy tale can provide a symbolic warning about how

in number and then “advanced” adults. Therefore, fairy tale therapy for

children is associated, first of all, with understanding the meaning of fairy tales

events and their relationship with real life situations. If

the child from an early age will begin to understand the “fairy tale lessons”,

answer the question: “What does a fairy tale teach us?”, correlate

answers with his behavior, then he will become an active user

your “bank of life situations”. And I want to believe there will be more

wise and creative. By the way, this is a response to those who criticized

us for “leading” children away from reality into fairy tales.

On the contrary, fairy tale therapy is a process of forming a connection

between fairy-tale events and behavior in real life

life. This is the process of transferring fairy tale meanings into

reality.

For example. The guys and I read and analyze the fairy tale

R. Kipling about Keith. Its plot is as follows. There lived a whale in the ocean

and he had a big throat. And indiscriminately he ate everything

different fish, each time opening its large mouth. He ate and

The most important thing for us is to create a situation in which

consequences for Keith of this action of the Sailor, then many children

may answer that the Sailor inserted a grate into Keith's throat to

punish him. In our situation it turns out that punishment

Now we can remember whether in our lives there were

situations where caring was hidden behind punishment. So

gradually, we will come to an explanation of those actions of parents,

which are incomprehensible or offend the child. And he will receive

an opportunity to easily express your grievances or anger, but also

Of course, this is not the whole meaning of the story about Keith, Sailor and Fish. This is just one example of how it "works"

the principle of understanding the relationship between the meaning of a fairy-tale situation and

real life. I would like to believe that many parents, teachers and

PRINCIPLES OF WORKING WITH TALES

Each fairy tale has its own uniqueness. However, the look

for fairy tale therapy as an educational system involves

general principles of working with fairy-tale material.

Natural phenomena are capable of acting independently. Ancient

we also use in psychological and pedagogical practice

Folk tales are extremely important to us

1. The world around us is alive. Anything can happen at any moment

talk to us. This idea is important for the formation of careful and

meaningful attitude towards what surrounds us. Starting from

people, and ending with plants and man-made things.

2. Animated objects of the surrounding world are capable of action

to live independently, they have the right to their own life.

This idea is important for developing a feeling of acceptance of another.

3. Separation of good and evil, victory of good. This idea is important for

maintaining good spirits and developing the desire for the best.

4. The most valuable thing comes through a trial, and what is given

for nothing, it can go away quickly. This idea is important for the formation

mechanism of goal setting and patience.

5. There are many helpers around us. But they come on

a sense of independence, as well as trust in the world around us.

All these philosophical ideas can be discussed with our

pupils and clients.

1. What is this fairy tale about?

About the gift of fate (“golden egg”) and what they do with

About stereotypes human behavior(if an egg, then by

About accidents that usually happen naturally

many other things.

opinions. By the way, which one?

Do not give to your neighbor what he is not ready to receive (in

question about what gifts we choose for others, and what

we want to get it ourselves); and much more.

All this can be a topic for discussion.

3. Please explain why Grandfather and Baba cry when

the egg broke, because they themselves wanted it to happen,

when they hit him.

Indeed, why are Grandfather and Baba so inconsistent?

Maybe they wanted to break the egg themselves, without anyone else

help? Maybe they're crying because of what they saw inside

Are the eggs not what you expected? Maybe what they really wanted was

so that the egg remains intact?

When discussing a fairy tale, our main task is to summarize

child or adult to the fact that all the phenomena of our life

ambiguous. To do this, we “turn” the fairy tale

the situation as a crystal, and consider its edges.

"Kolobok"

It may seem that this is a tragic fairy tale - after all,

At the end, its main character dies. However, let's wait

premature interpretation.

Who is Kolobok? This is bread, a pie. What is it for?

was born? So that Grandfather and Baba could eat it.

Kolobok is born to be eaten. At the end of the fairy tale

It happened. He fulfilled his purpose.

It is often said that this fairy tale shows the child

consequences of violating the ban. But it's probably more correct

would be talking about a loss of vigilance and stereotyping

behavior. Kolobok naively believes that the behavior model

successful in most cases, always effective. Life teaches

us flexibility, a variety of ways to solve problems, search.

Kolobok was “resting on his laurels,” which is why he lost his vigilance.

Another topic for discussion (especially with

teenagers) is a desire to test oneself. Find out your

resource opportunities. Feel how far you can

reach. Kolobok constantly increases the difficulty level

tasks, and this game draws him in, he was unable to

stay. For whom will this topic of discussion be relevant?

So what does the fairy tale “Kolobok” teach us? Accepting your

purpose; ability to stop during the process

testing yourself; awareness of the consequences of violating the ban;

creative approach to problem solving?..

The tale about Emelya is ambiguous. On the most superficial

level this tale can be superficially criticized

Mikhail Zadornov. Indeed, who is Emelya, how?

not a “freeloader”?! He is so lazy that he does nothing himself.

Everyone knows the aphorism: “Laziness is the engine of progress.”

The desire for comfort gives rise to amazing engineering

solutions. So, perhaps, the self-propelled stove and the sleigh reflected

the dream of our ancestors about a car?

If we consider more deep meaning fairy tales, then you can

remember the saying “we do without doing, and everything turns out

done." But is it possible to “do without doing”? Turns out

Yes, if you perform the action mentally.

Emelya is a thinker, and the fairy tale shows us how people come to life

In order to create a mental image, a person needs

to be left alone. But such a person makes an impression

You can always tell a thinker from a lazy person...

Emelya is distinguished by enormous inner wisdom. He is not

strength for the main thing), but when he feels his chance, he becomes

active in maintaining it.

So what can the fairy tale about Emelya teach us, dear

reader?

Working with a fairy tale:

"The Tale of Rejuvenating Apples and Living Water"

(Russian folktale)

“In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there lived a king,

and he had three sons: the eldest was called Fedor, the second -

Vasily, and the younger one - Ivan. The king is very outdated and

his eyes became impoverished, but he heard that distant lands, in

in the thirtieth kingdom there is a garden with rejuvenating apples and

well with living water. If you eat this apple for an old man -

will become younger, and wash the eyes of a blind man with this water - it will be

The king gathers a feast for the whole world, invites princes and boyars to the feast

and he says to them:

Who, guys, would get out of the chosen ones, get out

one of the hunters, traveled to distant lands, to the thirtieth kingdom

I wish I could bring you rejuvenating apples and a jug of living water about two

eleven stigmas? I would give this rider half the kingdom.

Here the larger one began to be buried behind the middle one, and the middle one behind

less, but from less there is no answer. Tsarevich Fyodor comes out and

There is no desire to give up the kingdom to us people. I'll go on the road

ku, I’ll bring you, Father Tsar, rejuvenating apples and water

a pitcher with twelve stigmas.

Tsarevich Fyodor went to the stable yard and chose a horse...

the bruised one, bridles the unbridled bridle, takes the unwhipped whip,

puts twelve girths with a girth not for the sake of beauty, but for the sake of

fortresses... Tsarevich Fyodor set off on the path. We saw that

sat down, but did not see in which direction he went.

Whether he rode close, or far, low, or high, he rode to

in the evening - the sun is red until sunset. And he came to a crossroads

three roads. There is a stone slab lying at the crossroads, and on it there is an inscription

written:

to be married."

And he turned onto the path where a married man should be. I drove and drove and

reaches the tower under the golden roof. Here the red one runs out

the girl says to him:

Tsar's son, I will take you out of the saddle, come with me some bread

eat and sleep and rest.

No, girl, I don’t want bread and salt, but I don’t have time for sleep

while away the time. I need to move forward.

you love it.

Then the beautiful maiden took him out of the saddle and into the mansion

led. She fed him, gave him something to drink and put him to sleep on the bed.

As soon as Tsarevich Fyodor lay down against the wall, this girl quickly

turned, and he flew underground, into a deep hole.

How long or short - the king again gathers a feast, princes and

boyars and says to them:

Here, guys, who would get out of the hunters I was young

apples and living water, a pitcher with twelve stigmas? I

I would give half the kingdom to this rider.

Here again the larger one is buried behind the middle one, and the middle one behind

less, but from less there is no answer. The second son comes out

Vasily Tsarevich:

Father, I don’t want to give the kingdom into the wrong hands. I

I’ll go to the road, bring these things, and hand them over to you.

Tsarevich Vasily goes to the stable yard, chooses a horse

the bruised one, he bridles the unbridled bridle, takes the unwhipped whip;

puts twelve girths with a girth.

Vasily Tsarevich went. They saw him sit down, but didn’t see him,

which way did he roll off... Now he reaches the crossroads, where

The stone slab lies and sees:

“If you go to the right, you will save yourself, but you will lose your horse. Left

you go - to save the horse, to lose yourself. You'll go straight -

to be married."

Vasily Tsarevich thought and thought and drove straight along the road where

to be married. I reached a tower with a golden roof. Came out to

a beautiful maiden asks him to eat some bread and lie down

Tsar's son, do not rush to go, but hurry to do what

Then she took him out of the saddle, took him to the mansion, fed him,

gave her something to drink and put her to bed.

As soon as Tsarevich Vasily lay down against the wall, she turned again

And then they ask:

Who's flying?

Vasily the Tsarevich. Who's sitting?

Fyodor Tsarevich.

There you go, bro!

How long or short - for the third time the king gathers for council

princes and boyars:
