Long-term project for preschool children “Do-it-yourself fairy tale”
Long-term project for preschool children “Do-it-yourself fairy tale”
Explanatory note
Junior preschool age
- the most favorable period for the comprehensive development of a child.
At 3-4 years old, children
actively develop all mental processes: perception, attention, memory, thinking, imagination and speech.
During this same period, the formation of basic personality qualities occurs. Therefore, none of the children's ages
requires such a variety of means and methods of development and education as
younger preschool
.
One of the most effective means of developing and educating a child in early preschool age
is theater and theatrical games.
Play is the leading activity of preschool children
, and theater is one of the most democratic and accessible forms of art, which allows solving many pressing problems of pedagogy and psychology related to artistic and moral education, the development of personal communicative qualities, the development of imagination, fantasy, initiative and etc.
Theatrical activity is a source of development of feelings, deep experiences of the child, and introduces him to spiritual values. They develop the child’s emotional sphere, make him sympathize with the characters, and also allow him to develop the experience of social behavior skills due to the fact that every literary work or fairy tale for preschool children
always have a moral orientation. Favorite heroes become role models and identification. It is the child’s ability to identify with his favorite image that has a positive impact on the formation of personality traits.
In addition, theatrical activities allow the child to solve many problematic situations indirectly on behalf of a character. This helps overcome timidity, self-doubt, and shyness.
Relevance:
Relevance of using fairy tales
, is due to the fact that today the most effective and proven methods and means of raising
children
.
Fairy tales
are one of the most ancient means of moral and ethical education, and they also help to form behavioral stereotypes of future members of adult society.
In this regard, the rejection of this method of raising children seems
, if not a mistake, then a noticeable omission on the part of educational institutions and parents.
The need to introduce children to fairy tales is undeniable
. The book improves the child’s mind, helps to master speech, and learn about the world around him.
Project for children of the younger group of preschool educational institutions “We are little wizards”
- October 28, 2015
Competition “My Pedagogical Initiative - 2015”
Nomination “Methodological work in preschool educational institutions”
Problem. It has been proven that the child best absorbs the knowledge that the child acquired in practical activities. Unfortunately, in preschool educational institutions, experimentation is used unreasonably rarely, especially in early preschool age. The importance of a child’s independent research activity is underestimated, despite its positive aspects, despite the active development of this area in preschool education.
Despite the fact that in experimental activities there are more opportunities for self-knowledge and self-determination of the child, for personal growth and the revelation of his individuality, teachers are reluctant to use this method in everyday activities, leaving it for open classes and mass entertainment events.
Relevance of the project. Preschoolers are natural explorers. And this is confirmed by their curiosity, constant desire to experiment, and desire to independently find a solution to a problem situation.
Experimentation gives children real ideas about various aspects of the object being studied, enriches the child’s memory, activates his thought processes, and includes an active search for solutions to problems.
Younger preschoolers, getting acquainted with the world around them, strive not only to look at an object, but also to touch it with their hands, tongue, smell it, and knock it. Children tear paper, take apart toys, play with sand, water and snow.
In everyday life, children often experiment with various substances themselves, trying to learn something new. They watch objects falling into the water (drowning or not drowning), testing icicles with their tongue in severe frost, etc. Exploratory behavior for a preschooler is the main source of gaining ideas about the world. We, adults, must actively help him in this.
The goal of the project: to develop cultural practices of showing the interest of children of primary preschool age in knowledge and research, to support the desire to demonstrate independence and initiative, and curiosity.
Tasks:
- Introduce children to some properties of water, air, light, paper.
- Develop your own learning experience.
- Support children's initiative, independence, and intelligence.
- Encourage friendly relationships during research activities.
- Form a cultural practice of showing interest and desire to expand your horizons.
Type of project: information and research, group.
Participants: teachers, children, parents.
Implementation timeframe : short-term (1 week).
Predicted result: development of the content of cultural practices to implement the project’s objectives:
- manifestation of sustainable cognitive interest in experimentation;
- developing the ability to consciously select objects and materials for independent activities;
