Teacher:
In 1981, at the 36th session of the UN General Assembly, the International Day of Peace was established “with the aim of disseminating and rooting the ideals of peace both within and among all states and peoples.” In 2002, the UN decided to celebrate the Day annually on September 21 and called on various organizations and individuals to “observe the International Day of Peace in an appropriate manner, including through education in all its aspects.”
On this Day, the UN calls on all countries to stop hostilities and stop shedding blood for at least 24 hours. Refusal from violence and war is not just big words, but a necessity for the further development of humanity. Only peaceful negotiations and resolution of existing problems through dialogue and compromise solutions can produce truly tangible results and benefits for all humanity.
Leading:
What is "peace"? How do you understand this word?
Children: When there is no war. When people are happy. When everything is calm in the family. When the sun shines brightly. When the sky is blue and your soul is happy.
Host: Why do people celebrate Peace Day?
Children: Peace is the most important thing in a person’s life! Peace is happiness! Peace is life! Peace is everything! We must not forget about this!
Host: Not all children in the world live well and joyfully. Many of them suffer, these children have a lot of sadness in their lives. We need peace to come to suffering children too! What can be done for this? Where to begin? Where does it all begin? From us, our deeds, our hands. What can we do with these hands?
Children: Do good deeds, write, go to school, play the piano, eat, draw, etc.
Host: We can do a lot of good things with these hands. Why does it happen that people begin to do bad things with their hands, take up weapons, create bombs?
Children: Because bad thoughts come to mind.
Host: So, it all depends on what we think about and what thoughts we have. Thought has great power! I know that children have very good thoughts about the world, children know what a good world is, a good and happy world. They can even teach many adults to think well. If a person has positive thoughts about the world, then they will definitely reach other people and, in the end, become reality. It's easy to check!
Do you like to fantasize? Let's now try to imagine in our thoughts a better world, a world of goodness and happiness. Let's take a “mental journey” into such a world.
(Calm music starts.)
Imagine that in front of you is a beautiful, sparkling ball. It is very light and shimmers in different colors. We will go on a journey on this wonderful balloon. Imagine how you pass through the shell of this ball and find yourself inside. The ball easily lifts us into the air, and we fly, fly, fly... The ball begins to descend... We feel how it touched the ground. We've landed, it's time to leave. We are passing through the shell of the ball... Ah! What an amazing world around! We look around. ... What do we see around us in this amazing world? What's the nature like there?
Children: Beautiful nature. Beautiful. Clean. Fresh. Amazing. Calm. It's very bright, the sun is shining. Everything is green around. No trash, etc.
Host: We see a lake... Let's come closer... What kind of water is in it? We bend down and look into the water. Who is this? We see our own reflections! What am I like there, in the new world? What is my face like? Eyes? What's my mood?
Children: I am joyful. Smart. Pleased. I smile. I'm the same as I am now. Kind, etc.
Host: We see children playing on the shore of the lake. What are they playing? How do they communicate? What words do they say to each other? What are their faces like? How do they greet us? How do we greet them in return? Let's smile at the children!
What a pity that our time is up, it's time for us to fly away. We get into our balloon and return to our office, but we have retained the impressions of our journey. (Music turns off.)
Let's remember what words we used when we talked about a better world.
Children: Lovely, beautiful, clean, fresh, bright, joyful, smart, smile, etc.
Host: Where will all this come from in our world?
One child: From thought.
Host: From whose thought?
Children: People. Human.
Host: What people? Where are these people?
One of the children said: “Here.” Someone pointed to himself.
Host: We are the people who will bring this into the world, who will give it all to the world. Do you want to help the world?
Children: Yes!
Host: To do this, we need to always remember the good that is in us, use it in our lives, in our words and actions, give it to those who are close to us!
Let's play a little.
Game: The last person in each row gets a pencil. At the leader’s signal, the children pass the pencil to the other end of the row. The pencil is then passed back, but with love and good wishes to the person to whom we pass it.
Host: Did it work?
Children: Not really.
Host: Was it difficult? Apparently, because we don’t train enough, we don’t show our best qualities every day. Let's do this more often. Then it will turn out better and better. Then we can really give something to the world. The world is very huge, but how much space does each of us occupy in it? Very little. Each of us is a small drop. But if every drop becomes pure and good, then the water in the entire ocean of life will also become purer and purer. Do you agree?
Children are given small drops of white paper. Everyone writes what they would like to give to the world. The droplets are attached to blue fabric, symbolizing the ocean.
The children wrote inscriptions on the droplets: Joy, patience and beauty. Bravery and courage. Happiness and warmth of the soul. Spiritual purity of heart. A lot of smiles. Freedom of choice. I want to give the world many joyful moments. Wisdom and care. Love and kindness. Light. So that there are no mistakes in your entire life. Loving family and good music. Warmth and good deeds. Cleanliness. Freedom. Good luck. Hope.
Teacher: Look at the ocean. It has become almost clean from your kind droplets, but there are still dark spots. So we need to continue to give something good to the world.
