Teaching History in Preschool

Abstract

This article starts from the question: can history be taught starting from the Preschool? What possible paths? And what are the pedagogical and didactic theories? Starting from a definition of history and historiography various ministerial documents and theoretical aspects of teaching history are briefly analyzed. A project of theater workshop is then described. It was carried out in the "Giorgio Nicoli" preschool located in San Giovanni in Persiceto (BO) through which the teachers tried to develop and encourage the sense of social belonging to a group, through theatrical activities.
