Abstract

The research aims to reveal the leadership identity features in early childhood through role-playing activities. The sample included (12) participants from age 6:7 years. The qualitative approach was used, and data were collected through indirect observation and video recordings to analyze children's representations and performances. The results showed that role-playing activities have many advantages that make them a fertile field for revealing the characteristics of the child leader. It was also revealed that children, at a young age, possess the attributes of leadership identity in varying proportions. These attributes may be innate, meaning a predisposition that needs support and practice. The research recommends that the curriculum for early childhood should include enrichment activities on leadership skills.
