New generations of people are forgetting old rituals. This is a natural tribute to evolution, which involves continuous movement forward. However, tradition is what maintains a connection with the past. And without knowing the past, it is impossible to build the right future. You can philosophize for a long time. We will not. Let’s better remember the fun Maslenitsa and think about how to spend it with benefit and joy in a preschool.
You can safely spend a week and a half for Maslenitsa in kindergarten, doing something educational and instructive every day in full accordance with Russian traditions. Let's answer popular questions and make a preliminary plan for Maslenitsa in kindergarten.
Questions about holding Maslenitsa in kindergarten
On what days does Maslenitsa take place? To calculate when Maslenitsa will be, you need to know the date of Easter. Easter is a church holiday, the beginning of which is calculated by the Church according to the lunisolar calendar. Lent lasts 48 days before Easter. The week before Lent (meat or cheese) is Maslenitsa. So, in 2020 Easter is April 16, which means Maslenitsa week begins on February 20 and lasts until February 26.
Is Maslenitsa a Christian holiday? No. Its roots go back to paganism. But the holiday took root so much that the Church did not fight it, but included it in its calendar in the form of a meat-eating (cheese) week.
Why celebrate Maslenitsa in kindergarten? Celebrating Maslenitsa in kindergarten has very real goals:
- introduce children to a beautiful Russian ritual;
- to interest pupils in the traditions of the Russian people;
- enrich the spiritual world of children;
- to cultivate a sense of pride for one’s people, a sense of patriotism;
- organize joint activities;
- allow children to express their creative energy;
- make friends with children;
- involve parents to strengthen family ties.
What educational areas are covered during the Maslenitsa celebration? Maslenitsa, organized according to all the rules, is integrated with several educational areas:
- musical education;
- health;
- artistic creativity;
- communications;
- cognition.
Is this holiday relevant for modern Russia? Yes, it is relevant. Conducting it in kindergartens is very interesting, useful and educational. Children learn new knowledge, play and begin to better understand folk traditions, customs, and the country in which they live.
Is it correct to celebrate Maslenitsa if there are not only Orthodox children in the group? Yes, that's correct. Maslenitsa is not a Christian holiday. This is a traditional Russian holiday that has come down to us since pagan times.
Preliminary preparation
If the kindergarten does not have Russian traditional costumes, you need to ask parents to prepare them for their children. These can be sundresses and head scarves for girls, shirts and caps for boys. You can get by with only caps and scarves, but this is not so interesting and spectacular.
You need to learn the round dances and songs to celebrate Maslenitsa in advance. This is usually done during music lessons.
Wednesday in the week before Maslenitsa
Children need to be told about the holiday itself in a simple and understandable form. The story can be accompanied by viewing thematic cartoons, filmstrips, and excerpts from films.
The history of Maslenitsa as presented for preschoolers
A long time ago our ancestors were pagans. They believed that everything around them was alive. All nature around is alive. Sun and moon, stars, clouds, sky and thunder. Seasons (winter and spring, autumn and summer). Rivers and lakes, fields and meadows. In general, everything around was considered alive. And, as everywhere else, among this nature there were forces of good and evil. Winter was considered evil. It was a difficult time of year - cold and hungry, not everyone was able to survive the winter. And spring was considered good. She defeated winter, warmed the earth, gave people the opportunity to collect plants, plant seeds, and feed livestock. People noticed: if spring came earlier, the year was fruitful, if later, it was hungry. This is how the ancient custom of driving away winter appeared, helping spring to come into its own. This custom exists in one form or another in all countries. We called it “Maslenitsa”. The main symbol of the holiday was round cakes resembling the sun. Later they started baking pancakes. It's easier and faster, tastier and more satisfying. What kind of pancakes do your mothers bake? (listening to the answers). Yes, there are different pancakes: thin lacy and thick hearty, with baked goods, with filling, small like pancakes and huge ones - in a large frying pan. And there are different fillings for pancakes. What do you like pancakes with? So many delicious toppings! It’s impossible to count them all! The main symbol of the holiday is a straw effigy, which accompanies all the days of the holiday, and then burns, warming the earth and bringing the onset of warm spring closer. What did people do during Maslenitsa? They had fun and ate too much. It was believed that the more pancakes you eat and the more fun you have these days, the more satisfying and better the coming year will be. People dressed up, competed in fun games, measured their strength, played games, danced in circles and sang songs. Children and adults rode down high slides - whoever rides further will have better flax. They built snow fortresses and stormed them. On the last day of Maslenitsa, people asked forgiveness from each other and from nature.

Thursday in the week before Maslenitsa
It's time to start preparing for Maslenitsa - make your home clean. In kindergarten, cleaning is not the responsibility of children. However, instilling the skills of maintaining cleanliness and order is an important educational element. Therefore, you need to have a short conversation about the importance of cleanliness and, together with the children, clean up the shelves with toys.
Sample text for a conversation with children
What holiday are we preparing to celebrate? That's right, Maslenitsa! We will have fun and play. Our ancestors carefully cleaned their houses before the holiday. They washed floors and walls, polished dishes until they shined, whitewashed the walls of houses, and beat out rugs. Today we will tidy up our playroom. Let's wipe the dust on the shelves and put all the toys in their places!
It's best to do this activity before lunch so the kids can admire the fruits of their labor. Children can be given wet wipes with which they can wipe the surfaces of toy shelves. Then arrange the toys together. Be sure to draw the kids’ attention to what has become very clean and beautiful and praise them.
Friday in the week before Maslenitsa
On Friday we are preparing decorations for the playroom. Depending on the age, these can be small drawn pancakes, suns, spring, plant branches, flowers. Then we decorate the playroom with them.
Maslenitsa for preschool children
From the experience of working as a preschool teacher.
The importance of ritual holidays in the education of preschool children. “Education devoid of folk roots is powerless” R.K. Ushinsky
*** We all want to see our children happy and healthy.
And for this it is necessary, first of all, to lay strong spiritual and moral foundations in education. Modern children live in the era of informatization and computerization. In a rapidly changing life, it is necessary not only to help a child acquire this knowledge himself, operate with it, think independently, creatively, but also to cultivate in him humanity, responsiveness, and sensitivity to others - a task that society must solve from a very early age. Spiritual and moral education in kindergarten is an integral part of the comprehensive education of a child, a necessary prerequisite for the revival of native culture. A qualitatively new stage of spiritual and moral education is the integration of its content into the everyday life of children, into all types of children's activities and modern methods of preschool education. An amazing and mysterious phenomenon of Russian folk culture is ritual holidays. The Russian people are distinguished by a rich culture, multiple customs and colorful folklore. I would like modern children to also have unforgettable, positive memories of pancakes and tea drinking on Maslenitsa and Easter spring joy for the rest of their lives. Calendar-ritual holidays in kindergarten have a positive effect on children ; they have become a unique form of spiritual self-expression and spiritual enrichment of the child.
The main features of the holiday: an idea that attracted all the children, a clear plot, composition, traditions, rituals and customs, costumes, vivid visibility of the spectacle, creative, playful action, surprise and surprise. On holidays, children dress up in folk costumes, first getting acquainted with the history of Russian costume, and the costume creates a special festive mood. For the holiday, girls are happy to wear sundresses and kokoshniks, painted scarves, and boys wear blouses. The participation of parents, who sing songs with their children, dance in circles, and play folk games, is very important. The atmosphere of the Russian holiday “Broad Maslenitsa” - farewell to winter, an extravaganza of folk dance and music, traditional games with spectators, selection of musical accompaniment, playing folk instruments, festive decoration of the music hall, surprise moments, as well as expressive, bright images of Winter and Spring - makes the festive action bright, emotional, interesting and understandable to children. Younger children carefully watched the actions of older children, and then they themselves joined in the general celebration. Preschoolers not only receive unforgettable emotions, but can also touch the origins of the culture of their people and their traditions. Introducing preschoolers to the traditions of the Russian people through ritual holidays arouses interest in the past of their ancestors, expands knowledge and ideas about cultural heritage, and contributes to the development of national character traits in children. Of course, such work expands children’s understanding of the world around them, introduces them to folk culture, and holds the key to understanding folk tales, folk tales, and traditions. To turn to the origins of life, everyday life, the spiritual world of the Russian person, his thoughts, feelings, experiences - this is a task for many years. The main traditions of Maslenitsa
Maslenitsa has always been celebrated very widely and cheerfully.
The first three days were called “narrow” Maslenitsa, and from Thursday Maslenitsa was already called “wide”, all work stopped and festivities began. Each day of the week had a special name and had its own characteristics. Monday “Meeting”
- the beginning of the holiday, the beginning of cooking pancakes.
Moreover, the first pancake was usually given to the church for commemoration of the dead, or to animals. Tuesday “Flirting”
- young people actively got to know each other and communicated with each other, rode down icy and snowy mountains, played games, invited each other over for pancakes.
Wednesday “Gourmand”
- on Wednesday you had to eat enough pancakes to last for the whole year.
Thursday - “Revelry”
- from this day the revelry grew, booths were already opening, people were riding sleighs, participating in games and fist fights.
Friday - "Mother-in-law's evening."
The name speaks for itself.
On this day we went to visit our mother-in-law to enjoy pancakes for warm family gatherings. There was an interesting tradition on this evening of Maslenitsa. The son-in-law passed by his mother-in-law's house and looked at the windows. As soon as he sees a rag doll sitting on the window - a symbol of Maslenitsa, then he boldly comes to visit and treats himself to pancakes. This was how the woman showed that everything was ready and she was waiting for guests. Saturday – “Sister-in-Law’s Gatherings”
. The mother-in-law came to visit the newlyweds for pancakes. Sunday - Forgiveness Sunday. The most fun and eventful day of Maslenitsa week. Firstly, they asked each other for forgiveness for all offenses, and they themselves forgave. Secondly, we walked on the city streets until we dropped. And the most interesting thing is that at the end of the day, an effigy of Maslenitsa was burned in the fire. It was believed that this was how they cajoled winter, as if persuading it to give way to a warm spring. Children simply adore Maslenitsa, because something incredible happens for seven whole days. This includes walking, baking pancakes, visiting people, and many other entertainments.
Maslenitsa games for children
Frying pan. Draw a circle on the floor (ground, snow). This is a frying pan. All players (both adults and children) join hands and jump on one leg, trying to push each other into the circle. Whoever got into the circle was “sintered” in a frying pan. The players' task is not to get into it. Skomoroshki. Put the buffoon's cap on the child(ren). You can sew bells onto a regular bright hat. Ask the buffoons to show how bears walk, how geese walk, how cockerels jump, how goats butt, how the sun rolls across the sky, and so on. At the end of the game, after completing the task, the buffoons dance to cheerful music along with everyone else. Pots. A “potty” is squatting in front. Behind him is the “salesman”. He offers his goods and shouts: “Who wants the pots? Who wants the pots? The buyer (one player - an adult) looks at the pots, conducts a dialogue - asks questions: “Is the pot good?” He chooses the pot he likes and bargains on the price (you can sell the pot for 10 claps, 5 jumps, etc.). If the price is not satisfactory, then the buyer goes on to choose a pot. If the price suits you, then the buyer and seller shake hands and immediately run in a circle in the direction in which they were facing. Whoever runs first to his place is the owner of the pot. If you are late, you become a buyer. So the game continues. Then the sellers and pots switch roles. Dudar. One dudar is selected. Before the game, determine the place where you will need to run away from the dudar. All players join hands, walk in a circle and say ri. Dudar answers by naming one part of the body. For example: “My elbow hurts.” This means that each player needs to grab the elbow of his right neighbor. The result will be a vicious circle. We go further in a circle and speak or sing the words again. And again we ask: “Dudar, dudar, what hurts?” Dudar answers: “The knee hurts” (or names another part of the body). The players take hold of each other's knees and, without letting go of their hands (holding them on the knees of their neighbors), walk in a circle and continue singing. The game can go on for a long time, naming different parts of the body: the ear hurts, the heel hurts, the back hurts, the shoulder hurts, the cheek hurts). But in the end the dudar says: “Nothing hurts! I’m catching you!” and catches up with the players. Players must have time to escape from the dudar to the designated place. Those who didn’t have time become dudars. A very fun game that creates a festive mood. Try it - you will like it! Just like in our house. A game for the little ones. We hold hands, walk and talk ri. Horseback riding. With older children, you can play horseback riding in a different way. Take a beautiful braid or ribbon and tie bells on it. You will get a team. The child gets into the “harness”, the rest of the participants grab the ends of the braid or ribbon with their hands and say: “Knock-knock, tra-ta-ta, Open the gate! Open the gates! We're leaving the yard! But!" At this word, the horse begins to move, ringing its bells until it is told “whoa.” Broom. Everyone sits on chairs. One driver is selected. Each player is assigned his own word. The driver can call it or the players can assign a word to each other. For example, the first player – the word “broom”, the second – the word “shoe”, the third – the word “button”, the fourth – “bucket”. The driver approaches the player and begins to ask questions. You need to answer them very quickly and using “your” word. You can't laugh or even smile (this is the hardest thing in the game). For example. The driver approaches the first player and says: “Whoever makes a mistake will get caught!” Whoever laughs will have a bad time!” After that he asks: “Who are you?” - Broom. - What did you eat today? - A broom. - What do you have? (points to his knee) - Broom. _ And what's that? (points to two legs). - Brooms. And so on until the driver runs out of questions and moves on to the next player. If the player answering the questions makes a mistake or cannot stand it and laughs, then he pays a forfeit. Forfeits are awarded after the game. This game is not just fun, but also very useful for children's speech development. Let Maslenitsa games with children bring laughter and joy to your family!

Maslenitsa week in kindergarten
Every day of Maslenitsa week should be unique and interesting for children. Prepare them for the main event.
Monday: "Meeting"
On Monday you can make straw Maslenitsa with your children. If it is difficult to find straw, we make dolls from twigs, threads and other available materials. You can also make it simply from scraps. The main thing is that the crafts are fun and bright. Maslenitsa is good. We decorate the playroom with the figurines we made or use them to create an exhibition.
Tuesday: "Flirting"
Together with the children we make a bright sun. On a piece of Whatman paper, the teacher draws a bright circle - the center of the sun. Children leave their handprints around the circle. First you need to dip them in yellow, orange or red finger paints. In the center of the sun we write the names of the teachers, on the palms - the children. On this day you can also play a round dance with ribbons. We tie multi-colored ribbons to the stick according to the number of children. The teacher holds a stick, and the children hold ribbons. Everyone walks clockwise and sings and calls out to the sun: “Sun, show yourself! Red, appear! Warm the earth! Give us a good harvest! May the pies be good and big! So that we bake pancakes this big” (they move apart).
Wednesday: "Gourmets"
We draw pancakes - everyone, as best they can. Then we put the drawings on display for everyone to see. Let's remember what a circle and an oval are and how to draw them. Mix colors. Kids can circle the plates and color the resulting circle yellow, draw eyes, a nose and a mouth for it. You can remember the fairy tale about the bun. In some countries, it is the pancake that escapes and rolls like a wheel along the road.
Let's play a game: who can name the most sweets.
Thursday: "Go for a Walk"
On this day you can play various outdoor games and rehearse for the main holiday. You can play indoors and outdoors. It’s worth remembering carols on this day.
Like during Pancake week, pancakes were flying out of the oven! From the heat, from the heat, from the oven, Everything is rosy, hot! Maslenitsa, treat! Serve everyone some pancakes. In the heat of the moment, take it apart! Don't forget to praise.
Friday: “Broad Maslenitsa”
Of course, Maslenitsa ends on Sunday, but the working week in kindergarten is on Friday. Therefore, we will celebrate on Friday.

Maslenitsa can be celebrated indoors and outdoors. The best thing is outside. There are more opportunities for fun.

Sunday, the last day of Maslenitsa, was the day of “farewell to winter.” On this day it was customary to ask each other for forgiveness. And the straw effigy, a symbol of winter, was taken out into the street and burned. So we said goodbye to Maslenitsa. As soon as the fire flared up, everyone shouted:
Educator.
Burn, burn, clearly, so that it doesn’t go out, So that all the snowstorms fly away at once, So that all the adversities, cold, bad weather, Winter frosts, failures, tears, They all burn up and fly away to the sun.
