Leisure and entertainment in preschool educational institutions

The teacher should remember that leisure is a compensatory type of children’s activity; entertainment and cultural recreation are contrasted with routine activities. Therefore, free time activities have a strong emotional focus; children should be in a good mood.

Discussion of heroes and plots of Russian folk tales stimulates children's interest in creative activities

Motivating start to a lesson on cultural and leisure activities

Classes within the framework of cultural and leisure activities contain a mandatory structural component - a motivating beginning. To attract children's interest in the upcoming event and activate their curiosity, various motivation techniques are used:

pictures,
reproductions,
illustrations in books,
layouts,
mini-exhibitions in the corner of knowledge;

conducting cognitive and heuristic conversations;

creating surprise moments;

conducting didactic and outdoor games, inclusion in a game situation:

visiting a group by a fairy-tale character,

an imaginary journey to a fantasy land,

transfer to a fairy tale (for the performance of a dramatization game);

reading poems, stories, small folklore forms (ditties, jokes, riddles, proverbs and sayings);

use of ICT: viewing presentations with photos and videos, music.

Since the leading activity of preschoolers is play, children are happy to engage in play situations and participate in a variety of activities.

Event Planning

Conducting classes within the framework of cultural and leisure activities is allocated free time in the educational process in the morning and evening. Leisure activities should be systematic and thoughtful, carried out according to calendar and thematic planning. In classes, the principle of frequent change of types of children's activities is observed (observation, conversation, physical education, creative, speech, motor activity).

The frequency of cultural and leisure activities is determined by the age and individual characteristics of the students, the scope of the assigned tasks and the breadth of the content of the holiday or fun. Sports and creative leisure activities are held 1-2 times a month, physical education, musical, literary, theatrical events and concerts - 2-3 times a year.

It is recommended to hold major holidays several times during the school year.

A special place in planning leisure and entertainment in kindergarten is occupied by folk and church holidays, street celebrations and rituals associated with the folk calendar: harvest festival, Christmas Eve, Christmas festivities, Maslenitsa fun, farewell to winter, Palm Sunday and Easter, Honey and Apple Savior . Getting to know traditions and ancient customs introduces children to the culture of their native country and fosters a reverent attitude towards preserving history.

Familiarization with folk traditions is an important component of the educational process in preschool educational institutions.

Long-term planning involves holding events together with a music director, a physical education teacher, and additional education teachers (heads of theater and fine arts clubs, dance studios, sports sections). During the school year, consultations are held for parents, at which the tasks of organizing leisure and entertainment in kindergarten are indicated, a plan for future cultural events is outlined, parental initiative in preparing and participating in events is encouraged, and a list of recommendations is given for organizing home leisure (reading, drawing, experimenting) , educational walks). Thus, parents are given the opportunity to collaborate with the teaching staff of the preschool educational institution and become equal participants in the educational process.

Coloring books were distributed to the children to reinforce their acquired knowledge. They left a photo as a souvenir.
