Can we teach future teachers to play with kids?

We discuss the problem of training teachers of preschool education in the context of changes that have occurred in early childhood education over the past decade. The authors propose a new practice-oriented model of students training, providing a high degree of psychological and pedagogical competence of future teachers who are ready to implement the content of the modern preschool education. In particular, we describe the experience of teaching students the technology and organization of the gaming activities of preschool children. The article can be useful to teachers of high schools, educators, heads of preschool educational institutions and teachers who aspire to professional self-development.
