Abstract

This article explores early career guidance for preschool children through role-playing games as an effective pedagogical approach. The study emphasizes the developmental significance of play in shaping children’s interests, social roles, and initial professional awareness. Role-playing games are analyzed as a means of fostering cognitive, emotional, and social development while introducing basic occupational concepts. The article highlights the integration of play-based learning with early vocational orientation. Particular attention is given to children’s imagination, communication skills, and value formation. The pedagogical potential of role-playing activities in preschool education is examined. The findings support the effectiveness of role-playing games in nurturing early career awareness. The results contribute to improving preschool educational practices.
