Organization of walks (from work experience)

What is a walk? And how to organize it? Many novice educators have difficulty planning a walk. How different should the activities of children be in the kindergarten area? These are active observation games and sports entertainment, labor, and independent activities for children.

The better the conditions on the site are thought out, the more clearly the regime is implemented, the denser and more interesting the children’s activities. Planning a walk helps a young teacher to evenly distribute program material, avoid frequently repeated topics, enriches preschoolers with knowledge, develops curiosity, encourages exploration, and influences the formation of positive relationships among peers. A teacher is an organizer of observations, a participant in games and fun, and a leader of children’s activities.

Organization of walks.

The process of raising children is continuous.

Great potential opportunities for the comprehensive harmonious development of a child’s personality are inherent in the process of educational work with children in a walking environment. The main goal of the teacher’s pedagogical work during a walk is to provide active, meaningful, varied and interesting activities for children: games, work, observation, during which a children’s team is formed, positive behavior skills are learned and developed, and children’s ideas about the surrounding nature and social life are accumulated.

A walk should provide relaxation to the child, relieve stress after classes and create a cheerful mood in him, which in turn provides the appropriate tone for the successful physical and mental development of the child in other conditions and types of activities.

An indispensable condition for the successful development and education of preschoolers during a walk is their simultaneous mastery of mental and practical actions. This can be successfully resolved through systematic observations planned in advance by the teacher. Daily observations on walks enrich children's ideas about the natural world, people (their work, relationships), and enrich children's aesthetic ideas.

Thus, observation is one of the main components of the walk.

Children should be involved in active mental activity, in completing tasks to improve their skills, ability to navigate the kindergarten area, etc.

During the walk, they plan to observe objects and phenomena of social life and nature, observe the work of adults, the life of the city, animals, as well as the work activities of the children themselves. In the calendar plan, the teacher specifically indicates what the children will observe, for what purpose, what type of work they will do, and how the responsibilities will be distributed among them.

Thus, the structure of the walk consists of the following components:

— Various observations (goal) (didactic tasks);

— Labor actions of the children themselves (goal);

— Outdoor games and play exercises;

— Individual work in physical education;

— Independent activity of children.

Each of the required components of the walk takes from 7 to 15 minutes and is carried out against the backdrop of children’s independent activity. the sequence and duration of different types of activities should vary taking into account specific conditions: time of year, weather, age of children and the nature of their previous activities. So, if before the walk there were activities that required mental stress from the children, then it is advisable to start it with the organization of outdoor games or sports entertainment, labor. And vice versa, if the walk was preceded by physical and musical activities, then it is better to start it with calm independent activity.

The main thing is that each of the components of the walk contributes something unique to the development and education, in the formation of the personal qualities of preschoolers.

Against the background of children playing independently, the teacher can tell and show something to them, communicate with one or two on a topic that interests them, organize individual games and entertainment, and observe with a subgroup of children some unusual phenomenon or event that they themselves noticed. The main thing is to make sure that you don’t get bored while walking.

Walk “Nature Has No Bad Weather”

Purpose of the walk

- to activate children’s knowledge about animals and plants, to introduce them to the concept of “weather”, to the influence of weather changes on plants, animals and people, to promote the formation of the ability to assess the condition of surrounding plants and animals, and to teach them to conduct phenological observations.

Before going on a walk, children should be taught about the factors that make up the weather. Make a sample nature diary, show how to record known natural phenomena in a diary using symbols. Tell us how to dress for a walk in different weather. Find out what birds and insects that live in the school area the children know. Consider illustrations depicting famous birds and insects.

With this walk you should begin your daily observation of the weather and seasonal natural phenomena. At the beginning and at the end of the walk, the teacher can ask the children what the weather is like, whether there have been any changes in the weather during the walk, and how the children determined this. Did they take into account the state of the sky (clear, presence of clouds), the presence of wind (quiet, windy), temperature (warm, cold, cool). What do the plants look like (cheerful, sad, drooping), birds (ruffled, joyful, anxious), do insects fly, how does the weather affect a person (chilly, hot, what is your mood). Then ask the children to note the signs of autumn.

Complete the game task “Natural absurdities” and play the game “Blind Man’s Bluff in Circles”.

"Natural absurdities"

While walking along a certain route, children are asked to find objects of non-natural origin that the teacher has previously placed on this site. After completing the route, the most vigilant traveler is determined by the number of absurdities seen. Then the teacher and the children walk along the route again, noting these absurdities with them.

"Blind Man's Bluff in Circles"

I blindfold the driver, chosen according to the counting rhyme. Within a radius of 3-5 steps around the driver, the players draw small circles and stand in them. One of the players circles the driver in place so that he loses the direction in which to look for circles.

The driver walks at random, and the players run from circle to circle until he comes close to one of the circles. At the command of the leader, everyone stops and does not move from their place. The driver stretches his arms forward, trying to touch the person standing in the circle, and he crouches, dodges, without leaving his place. Having finally found the person hiding, the driver feels him and calls his name. If the driver makes a mistake, he continues to drive. In case of three failures in a row, a new driver is chosen.

The player who moved from his place after the driver approached the circle must change him.

After the walk, children record their observations of the weather in a nature diary.

As a senior teacher, I systematically study the work of educators with children during walks, provide them with methodological assistance in planning its content, techniques and methods of guiding various children's activities. I also make sure that in the calendar plan teachers indicate what attributes and toys will be needed for children to play, i.e. take-away materials. Because, based on this, children have a desire to play one or another game (sailor caps, binoculars for “sailors”, steering wheel for a “driver”, etc.

The content of evening walks should be planned taking into account all the children’s previous activities. Observations of games, labor, physical exercises and outdoor games are planned. However, it is necessary to keep in mind that in the evening you should not play games of great mobility that excite the nervous system of children.

Walk structure

Walk structure:

1. Observation.

2. Outdoor games: 2-3 games of high mobility, 2-3 games of low and medium mobility, games of children’s choice, didactic games.

3. Individual work with children on the development of movements and physical qualities.

4. Children's labor on the site.

5. Independent play activity.

The sequence of structural components of a walk may vary depending on the type of previous activity. If the children were in an activity that required increased cognitive activity and mental stress, then at the beginning of the walk it is advisable to conduct outdoor games, jogging, and then observations. If there was a physical education or music lesson before the walk, the walk begins with observation or quiet play. Each of the required components of the walk lasts from 7 to 15 minutes and is carried out against the background of independent activity.

Observation.

A large part of the walks is devoted to observations (pre-planned) of natural phenomena and social life. Observations can be carried out with a whole group of children, with subgroups, as well as with individual children.

At a younger age, observations should take no more than 7-10 minutes and be bright and interesting; at an older age, observations should last from 15 to 25 minutes. They should be carried out daily, but each time children should be offered different objects to consider.

Objects of observation can be:

• Wildlife: plants and animals;

• Inanimate nature: seasonal changes and various natural phenomena (rain, snow, flowing streams);

• Adult labor.

Observations of the work of adults (janitor, driver, builder, etc.) are organized 1-2 times a quarter.

Types of observation:

• Short-term observations are organized to formulate information about the properties and qualities of an object or phenomenon (children learn to distinguish shape, color, size, spatial arrangement of parts and the nature of the surface, and when familiarizing themselves with animals, characteristic movements, sounds made, etc.

• Long-term observations are organized to accumulate knowledge about the growth and development of plants and animals, and seasonal changes in nature. Children compare the observed state of the object with what was before.

When organizing observations, the teacher must always follow this sequence:

1. facts are established;

2. connections are formed between parts of the object;

3. children’s ideas are accumulating;

4. comparisons are made;

5. conclusions are drawn and connections are made between the observation being carried out now and those carried out earlier.

The surrounding life and nature provide an opportunity to organize interesting and varied observations.

Outdoor games.

The leading place during the walk is given to games, mainly active ones. They develop basic movements, relieve mental stress from classes, and develop moral qualities.

The choice of game depends on the time of year, weather, air temperature. On cold days, it is advisable to start your walk with games of greater mobility associated with running, throwing, and jumping. Fun and exciting games help children cope better with cold weather. In damp, rainy weather (especially in spring and autumn), sedentary games that do not require a lot of space should be organized.

Games with jumping, running, throwing, and balance exercises should also be carried out on warm spring, summer days and early autumn.

During walks, plotless folk games with objects, such as grandmothers, ring throws, skittles, can be widely used, and in older groups - elements of sports games: volleyball, basketball, gorodki, badminton, table tennis, football, hockey. In hot weather, water games are held.

Time for outdoor games and physical exercises during a morning walk: in junior groups - 6 - 10 minutes, in middle groups - 10-15 minutes, in senior and preparatory groups - 20-25 minutes. On an evening walk: in junior and middle groups - 10-15 minutes, in senior and preparatory groups - 12-15 minutes.

Every month, learn 2-3 exercises (repeat within a month and consolidate 3-4 times a year)

At a younger age, games with text (imitation of the actions of the teacher) are recommended.

In the middle group, the teacher distributes roles among the children (the role of the driver is performed by a child who can cope with this task).

In the senior and preparatory groups, relay races, sports games, and games with elements of competition are held.

Outdoor games end with walking or low-mobility play, which gradually reduces physical activity.

Children are not allowed to walk for long periods of time without moving. Children with reduced mobility and low initiative require special attention and should be involved in outdoor games.

During walks, the teacher conducts individual work with children: for some, he organizes a game with a ball, throwing at a target, for others - a balance exercise, for others - jumping from tree stumps, stepping over trees, running down hills.

Games with a high level of movement intensity should not be played at the end of the morning walk before leaving the site, as children in this case become overexcited, which negatively affects the nature of daytime sleep, increases the duration of falling asleep, and may cause a decrease in appetite.

In addition to outdoor games and individual exercises in basic movements, sports activities (exercises) are also organized during the walk. In the summer it’s cycling, hopscotch, in the winter it’s sledding, ice skating, sliding on ice paths, and skiing.

About half an hour before the end of the walk, the teacher organizes quiet games. Then the children collect toys and equipment. Before entering the room, they wipe their feet. Children undress quietly, without noise, carefully fold and put things in lockers. They change their shoes, put their suit and hair in order and go to the group.

Features of the organization of physical activity in winter:

- during the cold season, the teacher needs to ensure that children breathe through their noses. Nasal breathing corresponds to the development in children of the ability to breathe correctly and prevents nasopharyngeal disease;

- at low air temperatures, it is not advisable to organize games of high mobility, since they lead to forced breathing when children begin to breathe through their mouths. In these conditions, you should also not play games that require children to pronounce quatrains, refrains, or any text in a full voice.

Didactic games and exercises.

They are one of the structural components of the walk. They are short-lived, taking 3-4 minutes at a younger age, and 5-6 minutes at an older age.

Each didactic game consists of: a didactic task, content, rules, game situations.

When using d/games, the teacher must follow the pedagogical principles:

• rely on the knowledge children already have;

• the task must be sufficiently difficult, but at the same time accessible to children;

• gradually complicate the didactic task and game actions;

• explain the rules specifically and clearly;

Types of didactic games:

• Playing with objects (toys or natural materials,

• Word games.

Various didactic exercises are a way to stimulate children's activity. They are carried out several times during one walk. A didactic exercise can be offered to children at the beginning, at the end, or can be woven into the course of observation, for example, “Bring a yellow leaf,” “Find a tree by leaf,” “Find a tree or shrub by description,” etc. They are carried out with with the whole group or with part of it.

During walks, work is also done to develop the child’s speech: learning a nursery rhyme or a short poem, reinforcing a difficult sound to pronounce, etc. The teacher can recall with the children the words and melody of a song that they learned in a music lesson.

During independent play activities, children reflect the impressions received in the process of educational activities, excursions, everyday life, and acquire knowledge about the work of adults. This happens in the process of role-playing games.

The teacher encourages games with a family, astronauts, a steamship, a hospital, etc. He helps develop the plot of the game, select or create the necessary material for it. Interest in such (creative games) games develops in children from 3-4 years old. The heyday of role-playing games begins at the age of 4 and reaches its highest development in the middle of preschool age (5-6 years), and then is gradually replaced by games with rules that arise after seven years.

During the walk, the teacher makes sure that all the children are busy, not bored, and that no one gets cold or overheated. It attracts those children who run a lot to participate in quieter games.

Labor activity of children at the site.

Work activity while walking is of great educational importance. It is important that for each child the tasks are feasible, interesting and varied, and that their duration does not exceed 5-19 minutes at a younger age and 15-20 minutes at an older age.

The forms of organizing children's labor are:

• Individual work assignments;

• Work in groups;

• Teamwork.

Individual work assignments are used in all age groups of kindergarten.

Collective work makes it possible to develop work skills and abilities simultaneously in all children in the group. During collective work, the ability to accept a common goal of work, coordinate one’s actions, and plan work together is formed.

In the younger group, children receive individual assignments consisting of one or two labor operations, for example, taking bird food and putting it in a feeder. The teacher takes turns involving all the children in feeding the birds. Or, for example, collecting pebbles for crafts. Work is organized as “work nearby”, while children do not experience any dependence on each other

In the middle group, two subgroups can work simultaneously and perform different work assignments; The teacher's constant attention to the quality of work is required;

showing and explaining the entire task are sequential steps.

In older children, it is necessary to develop the ability to accept a work task, present the result of its implementation, determine the sequence of operations, select the necessary tools, and independently engage in work activities (with a little help from the teacher).

Detailed plan for a morning walk for children of primary preschool age

Detailed plan for a morning walk for children of primary preschool age

Watching the snow

Target:

expanding children's ideas about the world around them, developing cognitive interest in nature.

1. Observation.

Draw the children’s attention to the falling snow: “Look, children, how the snow is falling, how quietly it falls to the ground...”

In December, in December

There is a lot of snow in the yard.

The star spun

There's a little in the air

She sat down and melted on my palm.

Children look at snowflakes and observe what happens to a snowflake if you breathe on it. “And now we will turn into snowflakes and circle around our site.”

2. Outdoor games

1) Game of great mobility “Two Frosts”

Target:

To develop inhibition in children and the ability to act on a signal (word). Practice running while dodging while catching.

Progress of the game:

Choose two drivers - one “Frost red nose”, and the other “Frost blue nose” (you can use either masks or hats). The whole group can play. “Frosts” stand on the edge of the playground, the rest of the children are positioned facing the drivers. "Frosts" say:

"I am Frost the Red Nose"

“I am Frost the blue nose.”

In chorus : “We’ll freeze you to tears!”

The children all answer the drivers together:

“We are not afraid of threats and we are not afraid of frost!”

After which all the players scatter, and the driving frosts try to grease them. The one who is hit is “frozen”, that is, he stops in place and does not have the right to move. The game can continue until the frost hits all players except two. They become the new leaders. Another option is for an adult to interrupt the game at his own discretion with the words: “one-two-three, run to the house to warm yourself!” After this, all the children, including the drivers and the “frozen” ones, run up to the adult leader. A new pair of drivers is selected by a rhyme and the game is repeated. This option is especially relevant when the “frosts” cannot catch someone or a lot of players for a long time.

2) Medium mobility games “Roll a snowball”

Target:

teach children to push away clods with both hands together; learn to act on a signal.

Progress of the game:

Several paths are drawn on the site, 1 m wide and 4-5 m long. The teacher rolls up several snowballs. The clods are placed at the beginning of the paths. Two children stand next to each one. At a signal, they begin to roll clods along their path, trying not to go beyond its limits.

3) Low mobility game “The little white bunny is sitting.”

Target.

Teach children to correlate their actions with the actions of the participants in the game.

Progress of the game:

“The little white bunny is sitting.

And he wiggles his ears. (Children imitate movements with their ears)

Like this, like this

He wiggles his ears.

State institution "Minsk City Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology"

On the territory of a preschool education institution, the standard design solution provides for separate group playgrounds, a general physical education area, as well as other functional areas.

The layout of the territory should provide opportunities for pupils to ride bicycles and ski.

Physical education, sports and play equipment on the territory of preschool educational institutions, sports equipment in design, size, and materials used must correspond to the age and psychophysical characteristics of the pupils.

The design solution on the territory of the institution provides for the installation of canopies, verandas or terraces. The canopies are fenced on three sides on the windward side. The floors of canopies and terraces should be predominantly wooden or sand and gravel.

Cleaning of the area should be carried out daily in the morning (before the students arrive) and as it gets dirty during the day. In dry and hot weather, at least twice a day before cleaning the territory, it is necessary to ensure watering of the land of the preschool institution. In winter, playgrounds and paths must be cleared of snow and sprinkled with sand.

Sand for filling the sandboxes of preschool education institutions is imported from places specially established for this purpose with supporting documents confirming the content of natural radionuclides and heavy metal salts (lead, cadmium). Every year in the spring, as well as for epidemic reasons and in case of visible pollution, the sand in the sandboxes is changed.

Before the game, the sand is slightly moistened and shoveled.

The stay of pupils in the open air is planned at least twice a day for a total duration of at least 3 hours 20 minutes - 4 hours, depending on the operating hours of the preschool institution and in accordance with the curriculum of preschool education, approved in the manner established by the legislation of the Republic of Belarus.

During the walk, pupils should be provided with physical activity and reasonable clothing depending on weather conditions, including in winter.

The head of a preschool education institution may decide to reduce the duration (or prohibit) walks for pupils in the open air in unfavorable weather conditions (rain, hurricane, other man-made emergencies), as well as in conditions of air movement speed of more than 3 m/sec. and ambient air temperature - 15 °C and below - for pupils under the age of 3 years, at atmospheric air temperature - 18 °C and lower - for pupils aged 3 to 7 years.

If necessary, the text of sanitary norms and rules can be found on the website of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus: minzdraw.gov.by.

Features of organizing observation during a walkconsultation on the surrounding world (group) on the topic

“Features of organizing surveillance

on a walk in kindergarten"

1. Observation as a method of environmental education The comprehensive development and education of young children is carried out by various means. One of the most effective is introducing preschoolers to nature.

Preschool children show great interest in nature. There is not a single object or phenomenon to which they remain indifferent. The task of the educator is to develop and observe natural phenomena, cultivate an active love for it, the ability to care for plants and animals and be intolerant of the senseless damage to plants and the destruction of animals.

The forms of organization of children, methods and techniques for introducing them to nature are very diverse.

A method is a system of sequential methods of interrelated activities of teachers and students, aimed at achieving the set educational objectives. The method includes both the method of activity (a specific type of activity) of the student, and the method, type of activity of the student stimulated by the activity of an adult.

Among the various methods of environmental education of preschoolers, an important place should be given to observation. Its essence lies in the sensory knowledge of natural objects, in their knowledge through various forms of perception - visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic, olfactory, etc.

Guiding observations makes it possible to teach preschoolers to identify the most diverse signs of natural objects, to navigate the most significant ones, and to discover through them the relationship of plants, animals with phenomena from inanimate nature.

Observation is a special, teacher-organized, purposeful, more or less long-term and systematic, active perception by children of objects and natural phenomena.

The purpose of observation can be the assimilation of various knowledge - establishing the properties and qualities, structure and external structure of objects, the reasons for the change and development of objects (plants, animals), seasonal phenomena.

Soviet psychologist S. L. Rubinstein considers observation as the result of meaningful perception, during which the child’s mental activity develops. The author defines the path of formation of observation as follows: “The development of higher forms of perception leads to its transformation into a directed, consciously regulated operation; as perception becomes a conscious and purposeful act, it turns into observation.” He connects the development of different forms of perception and observation with their content. On the one hand, observation is a source of knowledge, on the other hand, it itself requires the presence of certain knowledge as the starting points of observation.

S. L. Rubinstein believes that the content of observations should be: a listing of objects, their description or interpretation, in which direction the development of observation should move - from an undifferentiated whole to individual parts or, conversely, from separate and disparate details to a single whole.

K. D. Ushinsky said that visual teaching cannot be separated from teaching one’s native language, that the main goal of visual teaching is the exercise of observation, logical thinking and the development of the ability to express one’s conclusions and observations in words.

E.I. Tikheyeva considered that observation lessons, understood in the sense of systematically conducted techniques tending to the development of children’s observation and speech, should take place already in the first years of their life, when their speech begins to form. The outside world invades the child’s inner world mainly through sight and hearing.

To successfully achieve the goal, the teacher thinks through and uses special techniques that organize the active perception of children: asks a question, offers to examine, compare objects with each other, establish connections between individual objects and natural phenomena.

The inclusion of various senses in the process of observation ensures the completeness and specificity of the knowledge being formed. Observation must be accompanied by precise speech from the teacher and children so that the acquired knowledge is assimilated. Since observation requires concentrated voluntary attention, the teacher must regulate it in time, volume and content.

The observation method in introducing children to nature is the main one. The need and knowledge of its use is associated, first of all, with the nature of knowledge - these are ideas, i.e. images of perceived or previously perceived objects and phenomena. The more specific and vivid the idea, the easier it is for the child to use it in practical and cognitive activities. And this requires pure direct encounters with nature, observation of its objects.

Observation allows us to show children nature in natural conditions in all its diversity, in the simplest, clearly presented relationships. The systematic use of observation in getting to know nature teaches children to look closely, notice its features and leads to the development of observation, and therefore, the solution of one of the most important tasks of mental education.

Observation of nature is an inexhaustible source of aesthetic impressions and emotional impact on children. The teacher uses different types of observation. To form in children ideas about the diversity of plants and animals, objects of inanimate nature, recognition of the characteristics of certain objects, their properties, characteristics, qualities, recognizing observation is used. It ensures that children accumulate vivid, living knowledge about nature. Observation is also used to help form ideas about the growth and development of plants and animals, and seasonal changes in nature.

Observation using handouts contributes to the formation in children of more complete, specific ideas about nature, and the development of differentiated perception. A special place in observation is given to the examination of natural objects, comparing them with each other, identifying signs of difference and similarity.

Long-term observation. The content of long-term observations is varied: the growth and development of plants, the establishment of their main changes, the development of animals and birds, seasonal observations of inanimate and living nature, etc. When organizing long-term observation, the teacher must know the main stages of growth and development of a plant or animal. Encourages children to examine the object each time, compare its condition with what was before, and identify the signs by which the change is clearly noticeable.

The organization of long-term observations is a condition for a thorough knowledge of the relationship of plants and animals with their environment, their morphofunctional adaptability. Each type of observation requires a kind of guidance from the teacher. However, there are general requirements for conducting all types of observations.

1. The purpose and objectives of observation must be set clearly and specifically. The task should be educational in nature, make the child think, remember, search for an answer to the question posed.

2. For each observation, the teacher needs to select a small circle of knowledge. Each observation should give children new tasks, gradually expanding and deepening the initial idea.

3. The organization of observations should be systematic, which will ensure their interconnection. As a result, children will form a complete, deep understanding of the environment.

4. Observation should contribute to the development of children’s mental and speech activity. Activation of mental activity is achieved by a variety of techniques: setting a specific and accessible observation task, drawing on children's experience, pronouncing the results of observation, comparing one object with another.

5. Observation should arouse children’s interest in nature, the desire to learn as much as possible about it.

6. The knowledge acquired by children during the observation process should be consolidated, clarified, generalized and systematized using other methods and forms of work.

7. As a result of each observation, children should form an idea or an elementary concept about a particular object of nature.

2. Methodology for using observation in environmental education S. N. Nikolaeva proposed a week-long method of introducing preschoolers to seasonal natural phenomena. This technique is as follows: one week of each month - the second or third - in all kindergarten groups the following are planned:

a) daily weather observation;

b) examination of vegetation (trees, shrubs) and ground cover (in the middle of the week);

c) search for animals and observations of them (at the end of the week) that can be found at this point in the season on the site and in the area of the kindergarten;

d) daily work with the calendar.

Thus, the basis of this technique is monthly repeating weekly cycles of observations of a complex of seasonal natural phenomena - phenomena of flora, fauna and inanimate nature.

By observing the weather, children learn to identify individual phenomena, their degree of intensity and other characteristics. Children observe not only the natural phenomena themselves, but also their effects on surrounding objects.

When observing the weather, three parameters are included: determining the state of the sky and precipitation, the presence or absence of wind, the degree of heat and cold.

Daily observations of the weather in all its components should be organized in a lively, varied manner so that children’s activity does not decrease and their interest increases. This can be facilitated by constant changes in the methods by which observation is carried out.

Thus, one week of each month, full of varied observations of the weather, plants and animals, will allow children to form specific and clear ideas about the different periods of all seasons, about the patterns and gradual transformation of nature throughout the year, about the dependence of the state of the flora and fauna on factors of inanimate nature.

The weekly method of introducing preschoolers to seasonal natural phenomena, due to its time-limited and compact implementation, saves educational time, and its periodicity and regular repetition develop interest in observations in children and teachers, creating vivid representations of obvious changes in nature.

Ryzhova N.A. has a program “Our home is nature.” It is built on the principles of developmental education and is aimed at developing the child’s personality as a whole: the ability to compare and generalize one’s own observations, to see and understand the beauty of the world around him; to improve the speech of preschoolers, their thinking, creative abilities, and culture of feelings. The program consists of a number of blocks, each of which in turn includes a set of topics. In the first block, “Me and Nature,” children become acquainted with various components of the environment that are understandable to them. Subsequent blocks provide additional information about each component (“Air”, “Water” and others). They are then considered in relation to each other. The final block “Man and Nature” is general in relation to the previous ones.

Each block has two parts: a teaching component (initial information about nature) and an educational component (understanding the meaning of nature, its aesthetic assessment, and respect for it).

Lavrentyeva N.G. proposed a monthly method of introducing preschoolers to nature. This methodology is as follows: the first week children are introduced to inanimate nature. They observe the water, study the properties and condition of the water, and on the second day they observe the sun and the weather. The third day is for air and wind. The fourth day of observing the earth and sand. On the fifth day of precipitation. Conduct a targeted walk and generalize observations.

The next week of the month they observe the flora. They look at herbaceous plants, a tree, and then compare them with a bush. Observation of a bush, comparison with herbaceous plants. Conduct a general purpose walk to the meadow. The third week they observe the animal world. On the first day, look for insects; on the second day, compare insects. Then they watch birds and mammals. Conduct a targeted walk around the site. On the last day of the week, they take an excursion into the forest, into the ecosystem. In the fourth week of the month, children are introduced to the social world. Also on the last day, they generalize observations with children.

Based on all of the above, we can conclude that observation is a specially organized by the teacher, purposeful, more or less long-term and systematic, active perception by children of objects of natural phenomena

Conducting observations while walking

One of the forms of knowledge of the surrounding world is observation. This is not a simple matter, because... requires sustained attention and involves simultaneously perception, thinking and speech. Observations during walks in kindergarten are a teacher-organized, purposeful, systematic, active perception by children of the phenomena of the surrounding world. To understand the object of observation, the child’s knowledge and experience are important.

During the observation process, the teacher asks questions, offers to carefully examine the objects of observation, compare them with each other, and shows the relationship between various natural phenomena. Observations are accompanied by precise explanations by the teacher of what the children see at this moment; the more specific and vivid the child’s ideas about the object of observation remain, the easier it will be for him to subsequently apply the acquired knowledge in practice. It is important that there is a dialogue with children - when children not only listen, but also discuss what they see out loud, the knowledge is more firmly entrenched in their minds.

Observation is an inexhaustible reservoir of aesthetic impressions that have a beneficial effect on the emotional state of children. Observations during walks in kindergarten must be used systematically to teach children to look closely and notice all the features, thereby developing their powers of observation and, consequently, solving the problems of intellectual education.

A walk in kindergarten is great for making observations. The teacher draws the children's attention to the appearance of grass and flowers on the ground, leaves on a tree, introduces them to insects, birds, and organizes various games using sand, water, twigs, and leaves. You can organize observations in a kindergarten in a flower garden or on a plot of land allocated for a vegetable garden, where children can take part in planting and harvesting, sowing flowers, and in intermediate work - watering, loosening the soil, collecting seeds, cutting dry branches and leaves. For older children, you can organize duty at the site.

For children to reliably assimilate and consolidate knowledge, it is necessary to distribute the entire volume evenly over several lessons. To organize observation in a kindergarten, the teacher must prepare in advance - choose the time, place and object of observation, taking into account the number of children, their age and the possibility of relationship with previous observations.

There are different types of observations. During short-term observations, organized to develop knowledge about the variety of properties and qualities of natural objects, children will learn to distinguish the size, shape, color and nature of the surface, and when observing animals, the manner of movement and the sounds they make.

For middle-aged and older children, longer observations are organized in kindergarten, aimed at gaining knowledge about natural changes throughout the year, about the growth and development of flora and fauna. During these observations, children are already asked to compare the observed state with what they saw before.

A more complex type of observation presupposes that children already have certain knowledge, the ability to analyze and compare what they see, and draw simple conclusions. In the process of this observation, children determine, for example, by the color of the fruit whether it is ripe or not, or by footprints - who drove or passed.

Children of the senior and preparatory groups are invited to reflect the results of observations in the nature calendar, where they can sketch seasonal changes in nature, in the animal and plant world, and reflect the participation of people in the surrounding world.

Depending on the purpose, content and objectives of the lesson, individual, group (4-6 people) and frontal (the whole group) forms of organization are used for observation in kindergarten. Observations are episodic, long-term and generalizing.

Preparation for observation in kindergarten includes:

- determination of the observation location based on the children’s knowledge, skills and abilities corresponding to the program;

— selection of observation object. Here it is important to take into account not only the interest and passion of children, but also their ability to perceive the material provided;

— preparing the object for observation.

- preparation of everything necessary for observation: if plants will be observed, then a magnifying glass may be needed, if an animal - food, water, dishes, brushes for caring for animals.

- it is necessary to think through organizational issues - lighting, placement of children, the possibility of unobstructed and convenient viewing and approach to the object.

Each teacher has an individual approach to organizing observation in kindergarten, but there are some general requirements for its implementation that he adheres to.

Observations should be of an educational nature, forcing children to think, remember, compare and look for answers to questions. Observations should cover a small range of knowledge so as not to overload the children. Each subsequent observation should provide new knowledge, be interconnected with the previous one and expand existing knowledge.

Observations should contribute to the active intellectual and speech development of children. To do this, observations in kindergarten must be carried out systematically and arouse interest in children. Before observation, in order to arouse the interest of children, you can tell or read something about the object of observation for general information. The results of the observation need to be clarified, generalized, systematized, and consolidated so that the child develops a certain idea of the object of observation.

It is important that children behave freely during the observation process. By turning observation into a game, when children experience pleasure from it, the teacher combines the useful with the pleasant for the children.

Organization of walks in kindergarten in accordance with Federal State Educational Standards

Organization of walks in kindergarten.
Description: This article talks about conducting walks in a preschool educational institution.
The theoretical basis for conducting walks in preschool educational institutions, tasks, techniques, types, types, structure, time period and external material used for walks with children are listed. This material (article) will be useful primarily to teachers in preschool educational institutions, since walks in kindergartens are held daily. Educators of different age groups can use this article to highlight something useful for themselves and, of course, for their students! The content of the Educational Program, according to the Federal State Educational Standard, should ensure the formation and development of the personality, motivation and abilities of children in various types of activities and contain
the following educational areas: • social and communicative development • cognitive development • speech development • artistic and aesthetic development • physical development Integration of these areas in educational The process takes place throughout the day in kindergarten. Proper organization of walks in a preschool educational institution allows children to more correctly realize their potential and creative manifestations. Theoretical basis for conducting walks in a preschool educational institution Before children go for a walk, the teacher inspects the territory of the site for compliance with safety requirements in accordance with his job description. Before going out for a walk, Institution workers involved in dressing children must ensure that children do not remain dressed indoors for a long time in order to avoid overheating. Monitor the serviceability and compliance of children’s clothing and footwear with the microclimate and weather conditions. It is prohibited: • Leaving children alone, unattended by Institution employees; • Use sharp, piercing, cutting objects, or broken toys in children's games. • The teacher must immediately notify the supervisor and parents of every accident involving a child, and, if necessary, involve medical personnel to provide first aid. If necessary, arrange for the child to be taken to the emergency department. In accordance with the requirements of SanPiN, pupils must spend 3-4 hours in the fresh air every day (except for those days when weather conditions shorten the walking time or interfere with classes on the playground). Walking should be based on health-saving activities, hardening should occur. After intense physical activity, outdoor activities should begin at a calm pace, and vice versa, after creative activities, active physical exercises are planned. During a walk, motivation for various types of activities should occur. The regulatory documents indicate 10 main types of activities for preschool education: • gaming (including role-playing games, games with rules and other types of games); • communicative (communication, interaction with peers and adults); • labor; • cognitive - research (studying objects of the surrounding world and experimenting with them); • perception of fiction and folklore; • self-service and basic household work (indoors and outdoors); • design from various materials, including construction sets, modules, paper, natural and other materials • visual (drawing, modeling, appliqué) • musical (perception and understanding of the meaning of musical works, singing, musical - rhythmic movements, playing children's musical instruments) • motor (mastery of basic movements) Walking objectives • Development of thinking abilities. Children learn to independently establish cause-and-effect relationships, analyze, and draw conclusions. • Fostering a caring attitude towards nature and love for one’s native land. • Development of observation, cognitive activity, search and research activity, curiosity. • Cognitive, expanding knowledge about the surrounding world: natural phenomena, flora and fauna. • Replenishment of active vocabulary through the study of objects and natural phenomena. • Formation of communication skills in relationships with peers during joint play and work activities. • Promoting artistic, aesthetic and speech development. • Increasing the level of physical fitness of preschool children. • Optimization of motor activity. • Creating a positive emotional background. Techniques (structural components) of walking • Observation.
(Group, subgroup, individual). You can observe natural phenomena and situations in public life with your children. To attract the attention of students to the observation process, the following are used: setting a pedagogical task, game and problem situations, riddles, surprise moments, comparisons, involving the personal experience of children, conducting a conversation with search questions • Outdoor games and physical exercises, including conducting sports games with elements competitions in senior groups (badminton, football, towns, etc.) • Creative tasks and exercises for speech development. They are carried out in good weather conditions, using outdoor material (listening to fairy tales about nature, talking through pictures, making crafts from natural materials, etc.) • Labor tasks: involving the child in collecting toys, providing assistance in putting things in order on the site ( cleaning leaves, • dry branches, clearing paths and equipment from snow, sand, caring for plantings). Work should bring joy from the feeling of the importance of the work done. Types of walks

There are 2 types of walks with preschoolers, according to the place where they are held: • In the kindergarten area.
Walks are held here every day, and all key pedagogical tasks are implemented without exception. It is possible to diversify activities at the group site with various tasks, new games, and the use of unusual outdoor materials. • Walking outside the boundaries of the preschool educational institution. Pupils must be briefed on the route plan and compliance with safety measures during its passage. Goal: observing representatives of the flora and fauna (birds, squirrels, various trees, flowers) and people’s lives (work, activities, sports, shopping, etc.). If children have to cross the roadway in order to get to the place of the walk, it is necessary to repeat the rules of pedestrian behavior with the pupils the day before (where it is allowed to cross the road and how to do it). • Types of walks by topic: • Hiking trips. With children 5–7 years old, it is possible to conduct walking walks in the territory of the kindergarten or outside its borders, taking into account a well-thought-out route and the final goal. This type of walk trains the endurance of preschoolers, awakens the ability to observe the world around them, highlight what is set by the task of the hike (search for natural material, recognition of bird species, repetition of traffic rules). Walking trips should be carried out several times a school year (one at each time of the year), so that students do not lose interest in this type of activity. • Walk with a character. This type of walk includes an entertaining element and is aimed at creating a great mood for the students. As a rule, a fairy-tale character is the leader of the walk (his role is played by a teacher or another preschool educational institution employee according to an agreement), he assigns exciting tasks to the children, creating a problem situation and involving them in participation in outdoor games. • Walk-event. Tasks must correspond to the subject focus of the event, form the importance and involvement of the child. A walk-event can be dedicated to either a festive or an individual occasion in the life of a group. • Labor actions are aimed at maintaining order on the territory of the kindergarten, improving the grounds and areas. It is good that similar walks with a predominance of social work activities are fixed in the memory of children. You can create wall newspapers with information about the work carried out, make photo collages for the informative stand of the preschool educational institution. • Sports walks are aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle. Similar walks are conducted at different times of the year, emphasizing the children’s interest in the importance of hardening. External material for walks To conduct classes on the street, the teacher, based on the plan for the walk, determines the necessary items and materials. The correct seasonal and age-specific selection of additional equipment and tools contributes to the development of children’s positive desire for cognitive activity, physical activity, and work assignments. Options for portable materials: • For the sandbox: scoops, buckets, molds, strainers, cars (trucks, excavators). To decorate sand buildings, flags, cubes, plastic windows, etc. are useful. • For outdoor games and sports exercises: sets for laptas, little towns, masks, skittles, balls, jump ropes, hoops, and in winter - sleds and ice cubes. • For observations: nets, windmills, safety colored plastic glasses, sunglasses, magnifying glasses. • For work assignments: shovels, brooms, wheelbarrows, watering cans, rakes. • For games: dolls, toy strollers or sleds, cars, cubes, a set of doll dishes, a set for playing shop, sets for playing with water. • For creative activities: sheets of paper or cardboard, coloring books, paints and brushes for drawing, plasticine. • For speech development: books for reading and discussion, albums and postcards with illustrations for viewing. Temporary organization of walks in kindergarten There are five structural elements for a walk, each of which lasts 7–15 minutes: • observation • labor • physical activity • individual work in various areas of development of preschool children, • independent play activities These types of activities are built in accordance with children’s previous activities, their emotional state, learning tasks and calendar-thematic planning.
The sequence of activities and their educational content should be displayed in the walking notes. Taking notes on a walk

In the outline of the walk, the teacher indicates educational tasks, equipment and take-out material, the location of the lesson, and describes in detail the conduct of the walk.
Next, you should carry out a self-analysis of the lesson, noting the completed tasks, discover the prerequisites for failures and identify methods for improving pedagogical work during the walk. Time plan for a walk The length of time preschoolers spend on a walk is 3–4 hours daily and is formed from a morning and evening walk. Each of the five components of the walk requires 7–15 minutes, the rest of the time is spent on independent activity of the children. During a walk in the first half of the day, physical activity lasts 6–10 minutes. in the younger group (increased by 5 minutes for the following age groups), in the evening walk - 10–15 minutes. for any age of pupils. In winter, the duration of walks decreases. In bad weather conditions, the walk is canceled, but is replaced by indoor physical activity. Organization of observations during a walk in kindergarten In accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard, the main direction of the formation of a pre-school child is considered to be cognitive development. It is carried out in different configurations: experimental, research, project activities, experiments, games (plot, role-playing, didactic), examination, resolution of problem situations. The best way to develop cognitively while walking is through observation. Observation is the process of studying objects and natural phenomena through sensory perception, identifying qualities and properties, comparison, generalization, and establishing connections. Observation can be carried out both with all pupils and individually. Depending on the tasks set by the teacher for the children’s research activities, observations are divided into episodic, long-term and frontal. Several conditions are imposed on observations during a walk in kindergarten in order to ensure the effective development of each child: • Cyclicity. Repeatedly returning to the observation of previously studied natural objects and phenomena contributes to better assimilation of knowledge by preschoolers. • Short duration. During the period of observation, the teacher must monitor the emotional state of the child and beware of overwork in students. Children should begin and complete the study with positive feelings. • Availability. Any child is given the opportunity to analyze and study a subject. • Structurality. Observation is formed from three elements: beginning (concentrating the attention of students, creating a favorable atmosphere), the main part (obtaining information about an object or phenomenon), completion (summarizing, generalizing the knowledge gained). Preparation for observation consists of the following points: • Determining the place of observation in the system of students’ knowledge about nature: what skills and abilities will be improved, what knowledge will be acquired for the first time, and what will be expanded.
• Selecting an object or phenomenon for observation: an object of living nature (plant, animal, bird, insect), an object of inanimate nature (stream, icicles, stones), a natural phenomenon (thunderstorm, blizzard, falling leaves, drops), an object or subject of social life ( monitoring people of certain professions, public transport, traffic on the road). • Preparation of tools and additional equipment: bowls and food for animals, feeders and grain for birds, special tools (thermometer, magnifying glass, pinwheel). Time plan for observations during a walk

Observation is carried out on walks with children of all ages and is organized daily for 7–15 minutes.
of the total duration of the walk. During walks in younger groups, short-term observations are carried out; it is recommended to study natural objects in several short stages, alternating with active and intellectual games, sports tasks, and conversations. In older groups, observations become lengthy, which makes it possible to develop analytical abilities in children and helps to intensify ideas about nature and the social and everyday structure of life. Walking is one of the components of education in kindergarten. With proper organization and use of various teaching methods by the teacher, classes form in children inquisitive scientists, attentive observers, specialists in the natural beauty and richness of the surrounding world, and adherents of a healthy lifestyle.
