Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to clarify the role of the kindergarten teachers nonverbal-communication among the group of children in the process of the "cultivating a normal consciousness". For this purpose, the study team carried out a case study by continuously observing the practice of child education. As a result, we found two things. First, "physical synchronicities" spreads among the group of children after six stages. At the last stage, "physical synchronicities" becomes "Nori (rhythm rules)" that rules the children's action. It also generates the "intimate sphere" where every child comes to accept each other. In the "intimate sphere", they take the normative action voluntarily. Second, the teacher's attitude to look at the bright side of the children's action is necessary to generate the "intimate sphere".
