Kiselevsk, 2020 Municipal autonomous educational preschool institution of the Kiselyovsky urban district “Kindergarten No. 2 “Luchiki” of a combined type”

A.A. Psychological and pedagogical research has shown that preschool children can have access to knowledge about certain historical events, facts of geography, culture and art, if they are presented in an accessible form, touch feelings, and arouse interest, i.e. local history classes are available to preschool children.

Local history is a comprehensive research and popularization study of a certain territory and the accumulation of knowledge about it. At the same time, knowledge of geography, ecology, history, archeology, toponymy, topography, heraldry, ethnography, philology, and art history is combined on a geographical basis. This material is especially valuable in working with preschool children for the formation of local history knowledge and instilling love for their native land.

Local history education of preschool children is aimed at fostering a sustainable interest in their native land, cognitive activity, and cultivating feelings such as affection, love, which, in turn, feed the need and desire to learn as much as possible about their small homeland.

It should also be noted that local history is an inexhaustible source for integrated training, education and correctional work with children. Working with children based on the material of their native land, traditions and culture, contributes to the formation of social orientations in preschool children, including guidelines, goals and means of life.

“Personal orientations act as a kind of “filter” that allows this or that information to pass through, which does not require a restructuring of the entire personality system, supports its internal integrity, and satisfies the needs of the individual in those ways and through the values that society itself offers.” (G. N. Muss, 2007)

Play occupies a special place in the local history education of preschool children. Through it, the child gets acquainted with the world around him and learns new things more easily and willingly. Games of a local history nature help children develop various skills and abilities to interact with the environment.

Local history is the starting point of a fascinating journey into a turbulent geological and historical past; a launching pad for a flight of fantasy about the future. About the future of a person, his family, his city...

The main goal of preschool local history is to educate a citizen who loves and knows his land.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve a number of problems:

Introduce us to the history and modernity of our city.
Form an idea of the various aspects of life in your city.
Develop a desire to know your city as best as possible.
To contribute to the formation, development and strengthening of not only the children's team, but also the family.
To promote the development of personal qualities of preschoolers through local history.

These guidelines are aimed at providing assistance to preschool teachers, additional education teachers and parents to improve their competence in organizing work on local history in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education.

A set of didactic games and methodological instructions for them can be used in the following areas of knowledge and activity:

social and communicative development;
cognitive development;
speech development.

Explanatory note

Education of the moral side of a preschooler - a future citizen - is one of the most important components in the development of personality.

The most important moral value is the revived sense of patriotism in the Russian State, the formation of civically active, socially significant qualities in the younger generation. The feeling of love for the Fatherland is formed in children gradually, in the process of accumulating knowledge and ideas about the social life of the country, native land, city, attractions, indigenous people, people’s work, and nature. This complex feeling is born out of love for loved ones, for the place where the child was born, where he spent his childhood years, for his small homeland. State program “Patriotic education of citizens of the Russian Federation for 2016–2020” , which was developed on the basis of knowledge, experience and traditions of patriotic education increased over the past decades and “Strategy for the development of the system of patriotic education in the Russian Federation for the period until 2025” , which takes into account that patriotic education is the socially determined formation of the personality of a citizen, a patriot, spiritual, moral and responsible for the fate of his Fatherland. Preschool age is the foundation of a child’s overall development, the starting period of all high human principles. After all, by cultivating a sense of attachment to one’s home, kindergarten, home street, one’s own family, the formation of the foundation on which a more complex education will grow—a feeling of love for one’s Fatherland—begins.

The federal educational standard for preschool education sets goals for patriotic education: creating conditions for the formation of the foundations of patriotic consciousness of children, the possibility of positive socialization of the child, his comprehensive personal, moral and cognitive development, development of initiative and creative abilities based on activities appropriate for preschool age. We live in the Kemerovo region, and this is a multi-ethnic region and its culture is multinational: the cultures of large and small nations are intertwined in it, mutually enriching each other. Therefore, by introducing children to nature and cultural traditions, the city, and their native land, parents and teachers instill in children a sense of love for their homeland, national identity, spirituality, and a culture of interethnic communication.

Practical significance of methodological recommendations:

the organization of work on moral and patriotic education in the logic of a person-oriented approach was introduced into the practice of preschool educational institutions;
the subject-spatial and sociocultural environment of kindergarten groups has been enriched in accordance with the requirements;
a set of didactic games on the topic was selected;
methodological recommendations were developed in connection with the preparation of the celebration of the 300th anniversary of Kuzbass and the 85th anniversary of the hometown of Kiselevsk.

The developed methodological recommendations “Love and know your native land” on the patriotic education of preschool children in the process of becoming familiar with the history of their native land can be used by preschool teachers, additional institutions and parents to improve competence in organizing work on the regional component in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education.

The purpose of drawing up methodological recommendations:

implementation of an integrated approach to child development and the implementation of the intellectual and moral development of preschool children through familiarization with their small homeland.

Tasks:

Educational:

Using the example of the nearby natural environment, introduce preschoolers to the world around them, help them realize their place in it;
learn to navigate the natural environment;
to introduce children to the spiritual and moral tradition of the Russian people.

Educational:

nurturing in a child love and affection for his family, home, kindergarten, street, district, region;
instilling respect for work;
fostering a friendly attitude and respect for people of different nationalities;
the formation of tolerance, a sense of respect for other peoples and their traditions.

Expected results:

development in the child of civil and patriotic feelings, love and affection for his native land, Motherland;
development of civic position and patriotic feelings for the past and present of Kuzbass;
promoting the active life position of teachers in the moral education of children.

The novelty of the idea is that the methodological recommendations for the set of games on local history “Love and know your native land” solves the problem of nurturing love and affection for the small homeland, for the culture and traditions of the peoples of the Kemerovo region, as well as presenting local history information to students (educational games , creative tasks). As a result, preschool children will be able to use the acquired knowledge and skills to: independently become acquainted with the historical and cultural objects of their city and region; assessing their aesthetic value; orientation in your city; searching for the necessary information about the native land, people who contributed to the development and history of the city.

Didactic games for the cognitive development of children of senior preschool age. Part 1

The materials presented below can be used by educators and kindergarten psychologists when planning and conducting classes with children of senior preschool age in a kindergarten. Watch the second part of the games here.

Didactic game “Our Street”

Target:

Reinforce your knowledge of geometric shapes: circle, square, triangle. Give the concept of a rectangle, find similarities and differences with a square. Correlate geometric shapes with certain facts on the streets of the city, use these shapes to designate objects in a drawing-scheme of your home street.

Equipment.

Demonstration: photographs, illustrations of the native street, children's drawings and two sheets of paper (A4) connected in length on a flannelgraph with indicated landmarks (road, stop, monument, etc.). Creating a street diagram.

Handout: silhouettes of geometric shapes of different sizes and colors, if possible, which can be used to indicate certain objects; images of trees, bushes, cars, people (according to professions).

Note.

It is advisable to play the game in the afternoon after a walking tour along the street, after children have drawn their native street.

Game actions.

The teacher draws the children's attention to photographs and other images of their home street (the street on which the kindergarten is located). Invites you to remember a walking tour along the street and share your impressions: which street objects were remembered most. After the statements, the children together verbally reproduce in the correct sequence all the objects they saw during the walk. They are depicted on the diagram using geometric shapes. Kids choose geometric shapes and match them by color and size with buildings on their home street. The teacher suggests carefully examining and naming which figures were used to depict certain buildings. Children learn squares and triangles. The teacher draws attention to the rectangle and asks the kids to determine what geometric figure it is similar to (how?), How: is it different from a square? This creates a problematic situation: what would happen to the high-rise building that we represented using a rectangle if we “put” it on the long side of the shape? The kids independently examine the rectangle and come to the conclusion that it has four right angles, two long sides, two short ones. Using problem situations when creating a street diagram, the teacher helps children learn that having two long and two short sides is an essential characteristic of a rectangle. After pasting the silhouettes of the main objects on the “street”, the teacher and the children “revive” the layout, together they paste the silhouettes of trees, cars, people, clouds, a circle - the sun in the sky, etc.

Didactic game “Let’s build a street for dolls”

Target:

To consolidate preschoolers' knowledge of geometric shapes (square, rectangle), geometric body - cube. Give the concept of a bar. Learn to find similarities and differences between a square and a cube, a rectangle-bar. Develop skills in using mathematical knowledge in the game.

Equipment.

A diagram of their home street that the children created the day before, toy dolls, cars, silhouettes of trees, a construction set; a place has been determined to create a “street” on the floor with landmarks (road, pedestrian crossing, etc.).

Game actions.

The teacher draws the children’s attention to the map of their home street and reminds them how interesting it was for the children during the walking tour. However, the teacher notes, our dolls did not go on excursions and did not walk on the street. He proposes to build a street for dolls using a floor constructor. Total: children look at the details of the construction set (cube, block), think about what buildings can be built with their help. The teacher draws the children's attention to the fact that the parts of the construction set are similar to the geometric shapes on the diagram (Which ones? How are they similar?). Together they find out how they differ. The teacher notes that a plane geometric figure does not stand on the floor on its own - it falls (demonstrates), a geometric body, which is both a cube and a block (“brick” from a construction set), stands on the floor and does not fall. A geometric figure can be “squeezed” between your palms, but a geometric body cannot. These properties of geometric bodies will help us now build the layout of our street.

While working, the teacher also pays attention to which buildings are taller and which are lower, what needs to be done so that our model of buildings will have high and low ones?

Note.

When playing out situations on the created street model, the teacher should definitely note the rules of safe behavior: can children play on the street themselves? How and in what places should you cross the street?

At what traffic lights can this be done? What other danger can await a child on the street and how should it be prevented?

Didactic game “We are interested in playing on the street and counting everything around us”

Target.

Strengthen counting skills within 5.

Learn to relate number to number.

Develop attention, visual vigilance, the ability to find and isolate objects with given characteristics from a large number of other different objects, combine them into one set, count the number of elements in a given set, and designate them with a number.

Equipment.

Demonstration: drawing-scheme of the native street (the street on which the kindergarten is located), numbers from 1 to 5.

Handout: cards with numbers within 5.

Game actions.

The teacher suggests looking at the street diagram and finding out whether there are identical (similar) objects on it. Then he suggests counting silently and showing with a number how many high-rise buildings there are on the diagram? Christmas tree? Pictures of cars? Stripes at a pedestrian crossing? Shops? Stops? After each answer, the teacher invites one child to count the given objects out loud, showing them on the diagram, and select the corresponding number.

Didactic game “I’ll find little Lena”

Target.

Strengthen the skills of orientation relative to objects in the diagram.

Equipment. Drawing diagram of the street on which the kindergarten is located; a silhouette image of the little girl Lena, which can be placed anywhere on the diagram; toy walkie talkie.

Game actions.

The teacher reports that a little girl Lena lives on our street. She does not go to kindergarten yet and does not know that children are not allowed to play near the roadway or walk along the street themselves. So she got lost. Her mother is very worried and turned to the police for help. Whoever finds Lena first must describe to her mother exactly where the girl is via radio as quickly as possible.

Children close their eyes, the teacher moves the silhouette image of the girl. Each child (“policeman”) takes turns describing her location: “On the path to the high-rise building, near the bench,” “Between the Christmas trees, near the pharmacy,” “At the bus stop, under a billboard,” etc.

Note.

It is appropriate to accompany the game with explanations on safe behavior on the street.

Didactic game “Let’s help the architect”

Target.

Learn to compare objects by height using the application method, and arrange them by height in a given sequence.

Equipment.

Handout: background - a sheet of paper with an image of a landmark (road); silhouette image of buildings of different heights.

Game actions.

The teacher informs the children that in order to develop a street, each architect must first develop a layout of buildings on it. For a good street, buildings should be placed in a certain sequence.

I option.

The teacher gives the children options for the sequence of building locations, the children lay out the silhouettes on a sheet of paper.

from low to high and vice versa.

Option II.

Children independently arrange the silhouettes of buildings and talk about “their street” (explain the sequence of location in height). Creating a problem situation:

The teacher demonstrates a plot illustration, buildings that are depicted on different plans (in the foreground and in perspective), at different levels. Asks:

— Is it possible to tell from these drawings whether the building is higher or lower?

— Is it possible to determine this by eye (if the number of floors were not indicated)? Why?

— How should objects (objects) be placed in order to compare them in height? (On the same level)

Didactic game "Who is faster"

Target.

Give the concept of speed. Learn to move in a given direction at a given speed during the game. Reinforce the rules of safe behavior on the street, between peers in the game.

Equipment. Flannelgraph, images of people, animals, types of transport. Toy steering wheels for every child.

Game actions.

The teacher asks the children to arrange images of objects in order of increasing speed. For example: person - dog - tram - car - ambulance - plane, etc.

Explain your choice: “The car moves faster than the tram, because the tram carries many passengers...”, etc.

Note.

The set of illustrations can be changed each time.

The teacher draws the children’s attention to the fact that during movement you can change its direction. Child drivers can change the direction and speed of movement according to the instructions of the teacher; the cars move forward, drive slowly (fast), turn left (right), stop, etc.

Didactic game “Vegetables, line up”

Target.

Strengthen knowledge about adjacent numbers. Demonstrate clearly how adjacent numbers can be compared. Strengthen the ability to correlate numbers and numbers.

Equipment. Typesetting canvas, numbers from 1 to 6, silhouette images of vegetables (six types, 6 copies each).

Game actions.

The teacher reports that Lena harvested vegetables in her garden and laid them out on shelves in the cellar. There was a certain amount of vegetables on each shelf, and the numbers will tell us exactly how much. He suggests arranging vegetables on the shelves in accordance with the clue numbers (which vegetables to put on which shelf will be indicated by images of vegetables that the teacher has already put “on the shelf”; one for each).

After the children have laid out the required amount of vegetables on the shelves, the teacher, together with the kids, checks whether the number of vegetables corresponds to the number.

The teacher goes on to say that at night the vegetables came to life, they looked at how they were arranged on the shelves, and there was something they didn’t like. He asks the children if they could not like the vegetables? Leads to the conclusion that there is no clear sequence in the number of vegetables. He suggests laying them out on the shelves so that all the clue numbers find their neighbors (from the smaller number of vegetables to the largest).

As a result of the work, children receive a kind of “stepping stone” from numbers, which allows the teacher to: find out together with the kids which number is greater and which is smaller; name the “neighbors” of the hidden number, guess a certain number behind its “neighbors”, count forward and backward , practice the concept of “next number”, “previous number”, compare how many more (fewer) vegetables are in given rows, how a certain number was formed , count as units and the like.

Consolidating knowledge about vegetables, their appearance, developing visual attentiveness.

The teacher suggests carefully examining the illustration, which shows the silhouettes of vegetables (on top of each other) and find out which vegetables Lena has prepared for sale at the fair.
