In need of communication, we express ourselves by listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Although all language activities are listed, the subject of this final paper will be speech. Emphasis is placed on dramatic activities that positively affect the child's speech development, modulation, diction and quality of expression. In accordance with the optimal development of the child's speech development, the possibilities of the child are stated so that the acquired knowledge can be adequately applied when choosing dramatic activities. In this final work, I wanted to bring educators, parents and caregivers theoretically closer to the characteristics of speech and the way in which a child's speech development can be encouraged through dramatic activities. The introductory part of the paper highlighted the importance of speech for the child and the positive impact of the planned dramatic activities on the development of speech. Furthermore, there is talk about drama education and the importance of the child's learning through play, and at the very end of the introduction, I introduce readers to the term of the process drama. In the first chapters of this final paper, I will define the basic features of speech, specify the period most suitable for the child's speech development, and describe how the voice is made. I will continue with the child's speech characteristics according to the periods of development and emphasize the importance of the child's environment for the development of speech. In the second part of the paper, I will list the definitions of dramatic concepts and the dramatic incentives with which the educator can complete the dramatic activities. I will highlight the role of educators in dramatic activities and mention the importance of play for the child's learning. In the fourth chapter I mention dramatic activities, and I further devote myself to the description of the process drama. At the very end, an example of a process drama plan is given with the aim of enriching children's speech. The work will be brought to an end with closing arguments in conclusion.
