Application "Round dance" in the preparatory group: notes, step-by-step instructions

Suitable techniques and working methods

Pupils in the preparatory group are proficient in many applicative techniques. Accordingly, a teacher can organize work on the topic “Round Dance” in different ways.

Cutting out one shape from a piece of paper

The simplest option is for each child to cut out one human figure, for example, a young lady in a sundress, from a paper blank (square or rectangle). The initial part is folded in half, the outline of a person is drawn on it with a pencil (of course, half of it), and then the preschooler works with scissors.

The part is folded in half and the desired outline is drawn on it.

The finished figure can be supplemented with smaller applique details or painted. Then all the resulting works are combined into a collective composition - glued to a large base (a sheet of Whatman paper).

Each child cuts out one figure, which are arranged into a single composition.

Within the framework of such an application, it is good to take an individual approach. So, a child who has quickly completed the main work can cut out another figure and design it differently.

Ribbon applique

A more complex and original type of “Round Dance” applique is ribbon. This method allows you to immediately obtain not one image, but several identical, separate or interconnected (men holding hands). To make a “Round Dance” ribbon applique, you need to take a wide strip of paper, fold it like a wide accordion and cut out the image. You will get a real garland of identical young ladies, boys, nesting dolls, etc. In order for them to hold hands, you do not need to cut out the hands of the figures completely on the blank.

Ribbon applique allows you to get several identical images connected to each other at once; the principle of cutting is simple - you need to mark half of the figure on paper, starting from the fold

By the way, the figures can not only be identical. You can alternate girls and boys, girls and cats, in a round dance, even cut out mom, dad and child (again, this can be offered as part of an individual approach to more capable children).

Cutting alternating figures is, of course, more difficult, but the composition is more original

Step-by-step creation of a “Round Dance” ribbon applique

Fold the paper strip like an accordion. It will have four folds - accordingly, there will be as many human figures in the round dance.
The accordion should have four folds - that’s how many figures there will be in a round dance
Along the fold line you need to cut out half of the human figure: half of the head, hand, half of the hem of the dress for a girl and a leg for a boy.
You need to cut out half of the head, a hand, half of the hem of the sundress (for a young lady) and a leg (for a boy)
The blank should be unfolded and the resulting round dance glued to the base (in the middle of the sheet or slightly below).
You need to paste the shapes in the center of the sheet or slightly below
Now the applique needs to be supplemented with drawing - to depict the figures’ hair, facial features, patterns on clothes, and also to indicate grass, sun, clouds, etc.

All that remains is to complete the application with drawing - use felt-tip pens to depict grass, the young ladies’ hair, etc.
The finished compositions are varied and unique due to the use of paper blanks of different colors, selected figures (a young lady or a fellow), and imaginative decoration of the works.
Despite the same working techniques, all compositions turn out unique

Application made from accordion parts

Another original option for creating a round dance is based on paper parts folded from paper like an accordion. This way you get beautiful young ladies in fluffy skirts.

Step-by-step creation of the application “Girls dance in a round dance”

A large piece of paper (square or rectangle) is folded like an accordion - this will be the skirt of the sundress. Then, using glue, the folds of one edge of the accordion are connected to each other and fixed with a clothespin for better fastening.
The wider the blank, the more fluffy the young lady’s skirt
Smaller accordions will become sleeves. They also need to be glued at the end and secured with a clothespin until dry.
Sleeves should be a different color from the skirt
Now you need to assemble the figure and glue the image of the head (cut from an “Alenka” chocolate bar).
The original idea is to cut out the young lady’s face from a chocolate bar, although, of course, you can cut it out and draw it yourself
The finished silhouettes of girls are glued to a common base and complemented with paper palms.
On one composition you need to collect Alyonok in different sundresses - this way the work looks more interesting

By the way, on the eve of Christmas you can do a round dance of angels with your preschoolers. Their figures are also made from accordion-folded paper.

Features of preparing and conducting a lesson on the “Round Dance” application

When planning a lesson on application in the preparatory group of a preschool educational institution, the teacher is guided by the requirements of the program, and they are quite high for children of this age.

Program requirements for children's skills and abilities

According to the exemplary educational program “Origins”, developed in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard, children of the seventh year of life:

create works of artistic value and applied significance (collages, panels, friezes, posters, wall newspapers, illustrations, postcards, invitation cards, bookmarks), acting individually or in collaboration with other people (children and adults);
continue to master new methods of curvilinear cutting: symmetrical, pair-symmetrical, ribbon, silhouette (along a drawn or imaginary contour), applied applique for obtaining multi-color images, slotted decor for making openwork products (snowflake, flowerpot, napkin, curtain, clothes for dolls, masks and scenery for theatrical productions);
freely combine mastered methods, combine appliqué techniques with various techniques of decorative drawing, artistic design, and children's design.

Theme options

With proper preparation and organization, an application on the theme “Round Dance” allows the teacher to carry out a significant number of the listed tasks.

A round dance can not only be danced, but also made in the form of an applique

Planning, as we know, begins with choosing a topic. “A festive round dance” in the minds of many adults is associated with the New Year, but those who work with children know that such applications can be timed to coincide with any occasion, given that a round dance is a mass ritual dance that accompanied any holiday among the ancient Slavs .

A round dance is a kind of symbol of beauty - the beauty of movement, the beauty of the surrounding world and, finally, human beauty. The main structure of the round dance is a circle, its circular composition (similar to the sun) and movement in the direction of the sun (walking after the sun - “posolon”) originate from ancient pagan rituals and games of the Slavs, who worshiped the powerful sun god.

Article “Slavic culture. Round dance"

The subject of the application can be different, in particular:

“Round Dance of Friendship” dedicated to National Unity Day;
"Spring", marking the beginning of spring;
“Autumn” - in honor of the harvest festival;
“Rainbow”, which is appropriate when studying the colors of folk costumes;
“New Year” on the eve of the winter holidays;
"Birthday";
fantasy (dolls, forest animals, snowmen, fish, Christmas trees, that is, characters who can only participate in an imaginary round dance).

Photo gallery: options for the “Round Dance” application (festive, friendship, Russian beauties, etc.)

The “Round Dance of Friendship” collage will introduce children to the culture of other countries

The application “Round Dance of Russian Beauties” will introduce children to the national costume

Round dance of Christmas trees made using ribbon technique

You can also use collage pictures to create a round dance.

The smaller the figurine size, the more difficult it is to “dress” and “undress” this figurine.

A round dance does not always mean little men, it can be rays of sunshine

A round dance of bunnies around the Christmas tree can be done using cotton pads

Application "New Year's round dance" with elements of quilling and mosaic - an excellent option for a postcard

The application “Round Dance of Snowmen” with elements of paper plastic develops spatial thinking

Collective or individual form of work: when to use

Work with the application can be both individual and collective. The teacher chooses the form depending on:

the level of preparedness of children (if there are children who are too slow or unable to keep up with their studies, then it is more convenient to do group work so that everyone can express themselves to the best of their abilities and at the same time the final result will not suffer in terms of time and quality);
reason for making an application (if the work is the result of studying a topic, then it is better to choose an individual one - this way it is easier to track the educational results of each child; if the application is being prepared for a stand, then the form should also be individual, so that mothers and fathers can see the fruits of their handiwork children);
techniques for performing the work (if children can handle ribbon appliqué or collage on their own, then appliqué with elements of origami, quilling, and mosaics requires much more time and effort, which means it’s easier for everyone to do it together);
time allocated for a specific lesson by calendar-thematic planning (for example, applications with a combination of execution techniques are faster to do collectively in order to fit into one lesson). Working in pairs is of great value for developing a sense of camaraderie, the ability to negotiate the division of work and plan the result. The topic “Round Dance” is quite complex; working in pairs will bring results if children have already learned this type of cooperation in simpler ones (“Flowers in the Meadow”, “Winter City”).

Working in pairs fosters a sense of camaraderie and mutual assistance in preschoolers

Since the applique is carried out in the preparatory group and the result, according to the program requirements, should be a work of artistic value, the optimal option would be collective work (made by the whole group or in subgroups of 5-6 people) with a combination of techniques and materials.

Level of difficulty and technique of application

The more often the guys practice appliqué, the more techniques can be combined to perform the “Festive Round Dance”

Since we are talking about children 6–7 years old who have an understanding of working with fabric and cereals, the classic paper appliqué can be diversified with a combination of 2–3 execution techniques. This makes the task more difficult, but the end result is much more original.

Techniques for making applique:

Invoice. Simple overlay of figures cut out of paper independently or according to a template in the preparatory group can be complicated by adding volume, that is, the elements of the round dance are not glued completely, but are folded and fixed against the background only at the folded points.
Tape. The child cuts out figures of round dancers from a strip of paper (approximately 30 by 15 cm) and pastes them onto the background.
Symmetrical. The figures are cut out according to a template from a sheet of paper folded in half and decorated with decor (clothes and hairstyles are glued on top).
Modular. Participants in a round dance are depicted using ready-made geometric shapes.
Quilling. Details twisted from narrow strips of paper (snowflakes, autumn leaves, sun and clouds) decorate the finished work.
Precipitous. In this case, the silhouettes are made out with small pieces of colored paper. For the preparatory group, this technique should be complemented by other, more complex types of work. For example, in combination with fabric elements or origami.
Collage. A favorite type of applique for children. In this case, either ready-made cuttings from magazines or postcards are used, or children draw figures of people dancing in a round dance in advance, paste them onto the background and decorate the work according to the theme.

To decorate the characters' clothes, you can use threads, confetti, corrugated paper, and candy wrappers. Fabric looks great in applique. This material can be used to decorate the costumes of the figures or to make elements surrounding the round dance (trees, grass, clouds, sun) out of it. Fabric parts should be prepared in advance, as they are difficult to cut with scissors.

Clothes for the men in the round dance can be made from candy wrappers

They complement the applique with drawing. With pencils, paints or felt-tip pens you can draw facial features and patterns on clothes (when human figures are used in a round dance), faces of animals, glare of rays, grass, clouds, New Year's beads and garlands.

Preparing the application background

The choice of background for the application depends on the technique of the work itself. If it is a simple ribbon appliqué with linear placement of elements, make the background more saturated and bright, think about what additional images will decorate it. These details (sun, clouds, trees, etc.) must be done in advance, since they are not included in the content of the lesson.

For example, it is advisable to make birch trees and Christmas trees made using the origami technique during a paper design class.

When planning an application in which the round dance is located in a circle, the teacher must take care of the size of the background and what to fill the center with. It is logical to conduct an autumn round dance around a basket with gifts from fields and gardens; a spring round dance was traditionally arranged around a birch tree with ribbons (you can use ready-made thin ribbons, they look great and enliven the composition). The globe is usually chosen as the center of the circle dance of friendship, and the New Year's one can be danced around the Christmas tree or Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.

A basket with gifts of autumn will serve as a wonderful center for an autumn round dance.

The background can be made from:

fabric (sufficiently dense, plain or with a small, unobtrusive pattern);
silhouettes of figures (stars, slits, etc.) superimposed on a colored background;
cereals (such applications look very original, but require special care, since you must first glue the round dance, and only then fill in the cereal without touching the figures);
confetti (this background is very bright, so the round dance itself should be monochromatic and dark);
wallpaper in soft colors, with a small, discreet print;
stickers or cut out pictures (such a collage looks very nice against the background of a plain round dance).

Noteworthy is the background using the monotype technique (a print of paint applied to film or plastic).

Children can make a background using the monotype technique together with their teacher.

Watercolor backgrounds made on wet paper look charming; they are especially suitable for seasonal themes (spring, autumn round dance). Children will be able to make them themselves by first applying water and then paint (with a sponge) to a sheet of thick paper. When the paper is dry, it is ironed.

Preschoolers can easily handle the design of a watercolor background on their own

How to motivate children to make the “Merry Round Dance” applique

Even walking and learning to walk single file can become an incentive to do appliqué in class.

Not only the final result, that is, the finished round dance, but also the course of the entire lesson depends on how motivated the children are for the task. Since the topic is very broad, you can use different techniques, and if time allows, then combine them.

Great motivation would be:

stories about the holiday to which the application is dedicated. For example, National Unity Day, which has become a reason for celebration since 2005, that is, we are all witnesses to how the calendar has been replenished with a new public holiday);
memories of a holiday in kindergarten, a proposal to depict it in class;
descriptions of the rules of conducting a round dance (participants can hold each other’s hands, a scarf, a belt, although in some cultures it is not customary to openly hold hands, and also that the leader of the round dance is called a “round dance”, and the figures of the round dance are called “circle”, “carousel” ", "basket", etc.);
looking at books or magazines with the elements of the round dance being studied (such cut-out pictures can be used as a background or part of a collage);
stories about the history of the emergence of round dances (as a way to mark one or another stage of a person’s work activity);
the arrival of funny characters (Petrushka, Mishka, Matryoshka) who ask children to help them arrange a fun round dance with friends;
songs that not only entertain children, but also make them look at their meaning differently (for example, “Loaf-Loaf”);
poems;
display of illustrations. They must certainly be colorful, memorable, eye-catching, with characters familiar and beloved by children.

The use of colorful illustrative material will interest children

There are a lot of poetic works about round dances. The teacher should read the poem with appropriate facial expressions, joyfully, creating a festive mood.

All the clouds gathered in a bunch and gave each other a hand, obscured the sky, and danced together in a circle. But the wind disperses them and makes it difficult to dance in circles. Apparently, the wind is very angry, the clouds are crying one by one. There is no round dance - water is dripping from the sky. The tears of the clouds are large - There are streams on the asphalt. The clouds are crying from above, turning into clouds. T. Kersten
The flute sings tenderly, The mice dance in a circle. Music, moon, river Lulled the cat to sleep. In the silence of the night they danced until dawn. A. Kuznetsov
As always, on New Year's Day we begin a round dance! Well, children, stood in a circle, inviting friends with them, took each other’s hands, smiled more cheerfully! Louder, stomp your foot louder! Take two steps forward, steel, clap your hands, and then vice versa! Step back! Everyone turn around! Did you forget to smile? He clapped, gave his hand to a friend, and let's go, let's go in a circle! Have fun ahead! Forward! The round dance is whirling around! Hello! Hello, long-awaited, Our beloved and desired, Good holiday - New Year! O. Konaeva

It is not necessary to read a poem about a round dance; it can be replaced with a work about friendship, autumn gifts, the beauty of spring nature. This is the choice of the teacher, and it depends on the topic of the lesson and the nature of the introductory conversation.

Structure, goals and objectives of the application lesson on the theme “Round Dance”

The lesson notes for the preparatory group are designed for 30 minutes to achieve the educational goals . During this time, the teacher must “guide” the children through 3 stages of work:

beginning - 7 minutes (using presentations, videos, poems and stories about the history of the round dance);
the main part - 18-20 minutes, including physical education minutes of 2-3 minutes (work on the application, with commentary on each action of the children);
conclusion - 2–3 minutes (summarizing, discussing work with children).

The main educational goals of the lesson on the application “Festive round dance”:

developing the ability to cut out several symmetrical parts from paper folded several times (if we are talking about an applied applique);
work on the accuracy of movements when cutting out a figure along the contour (if we are talking about a collage);
practicing the skill of drawing contour figures (if the kids are expected to draw elements of a round dance or outline a cardboard template).

In addition, children learn to combine colors, develop coordination of eye and hand movements, cultivate aesthetic taste, expand their horizons, learn to work individually and in a group, and get used to being responsible for the work of the entire creative group.

The tasks will vary slightly depending on the technique chosen. Thus, when making an applique from paper, special attention will be paid to repeating the rules of safe handling of scissors and the ability to combine warm and cold shades of paper.

If the craft is with origami elements, then the tasks include strengthening the skill of folding paper parts symmetrically. To apply appliqué with a fabric insert, children must master the skill of gluing soft material. When working with scraps of paper and cereal, children need to develop a sense of proportion, as well as precision in gluing the material to the base.

Kalchen ko G. P. “Merry round dance” (collective lesson)

Tasks:

develop children's aesthetic perception, imagination, creativity;
learn to cut out symmetrical shapes by eye from paper folded in half (young lady);
continue to teach how to decorate an image cut out of paper;
develop visual control over hand movements, coordination of movements;
consolidate knowledge of colors and their shades;
continue learning collective applique, learn to discuss composition, listen to the opinions of other children;
learn to place figures in a row on a narrow strip, instill accuracy when gluing

Preliminary work:

fun games for children in everyday life with elements of round dance, driving round dances in music classes, looking at illustrations depicting round dances in books, in photographs;
individual work with children in isocorners (symmetrical cutting out of nesting dolls, drawing a human figure, etc.);
consolidation of knowledge of colors and shades using didactic games “Collect a bouquet”, “Color Lotto”, etc.;
examination of didactic tables to consolidate knowledge of colors and their shades: “Colored Pencils”, “Cinderella’s Dresses”, etc.

Material: didactic tables on color and shades: “Cinderella’s Dresses”, “Colored Pencils”; young lady "Nastya"; “Children’s round dance” (from the album “Applique in kindergarten”: Dymkovo and Filimonov toys; white, colored rectangular paper for cutting out a girl’s figure for each child; colored pencils, felt-tip pens; glue; brushes; oilcloth; rags; scissors; colored blanks paper of different shades). Progress of the lesson.

A Russian folk melody is playing (tape recording). Educator: Today a young lady came to visit us. Her name is Nastya. Look, children, what an elegant sundress she is wearing. Why do you think she is wearing such a beautiful outfit? (Nastya has a birthday today). What do we do for the birthday boy with the group? (we sing songs, make gifts, dance in circles). Let's also dance with our guest and give her gifts. To make a friendly round dance, what will we do with you? (let's hold hands). The children dance in a circle and sing the song “Like Nastya’s name day...” Educator: And now we will make gifts for Nastya. So that our guest doesn’t get bored, we’ll cut out her girlfriends from colored paper, stick them on them and give Nastya a “fun round dance.” The teacher offers to carefully examine Nastya’s outfit. Nastya’s dress is long, embroidered with patterns, she has her arms slightly spread to the sides, and she has a beautiful kokoshnik on her head. What is a kokoshnik? (teacher's explanation). Educator: Guys, now I’ll show you how to cut out girlfriends for Nastya from colored paper. While showing, the teacher asks the children: “What kind of figure is this?” (rectangle). Educator: The rectangle needs to be folded in half lengthwise, aligning the corners and sides exactly, and run your finger along the fold line. We leave the fold line of the sheet in the left hand, on the right we begin to cut out the head, neck and dress of the doll (the teacher is demonstrating). First, children learn to cut out a doll figure from white paper, then continue cutting from colored paper. Having cut out the figure, the child can use felt-tip pens to draw the young lady’s face and other details. The pattern for the dress is cut out and pasted from paper of a darker or lighter shade than the sundress. The teacher draws attention to his young lady. She is wearing a blue outfit, decorated with light blue paper. The children begin to work in their places. During the work, the teacher reminds the children of the need to carefully cut out the entire figure and details, select tinted paper for the pattern on the doll’s sundress, and complete the drawing of the face and other small details with felt-tip pens. As the image is ready, children stick their dolls onto the base in a row on a strip. Educator: Guys, look at what wonderful girlfriends you have cut out, pasted and decorated for Nastya. All the children decorated the dolls' sundresses in different ways. The teacher invites the children to choose a friend to Nastya, explain why they liked this particular doll, and what seems especially beautiful about it. Having given several children the opportunity to speak, the teacher notes the overall beauty of the round dance and individual works. Educator: These dolls will dance around Nastya. And we all together once again dance in a round dance with our birthday guest and sing her a song. The children dance in a circle and sing the song “Like Nastya’s name day...” Educator (addressing the children): Nastya thanks all of you, guys, for your hospitality and wants to treat you with candy at parting. Doll Nastya distributes food to children, they thank the guest

Aspects of preparation for the lesson

Depending on the type of application chosen, the teacher prepares the appropriate materials for the lesson:

The basis. For individual appliqué (as a rule, it is tape), sheets of paper or thin cardboard of A4 size are taken. For group work, you will need whatman paper; sometimes children create compositions in small groups (3-4 people each) - you can offer them an A3 format base.
Colored paper. These are wide stripes of different colors for ribbon appliqué, separate blanks (squares or rectangles) for traditional appliqué and accordion folding.
For ribbon applique, the main element is a long strip of colored paper
Colored paper (or pieces of it) to complement and decorate the finished figures.
Scissors, glue, glue brush, oilcloth, cloth.
If the teacher wants to make the lesson more unusual, along with colored paper, you can use corrugated paper, fabric, beads, sequins, confetti, cotton wool, and candy wrappers to complement the figures in the round dance. So, with strips of corrugated paper you can decorate the skirts of young ladies in an original way.
With strips of corrugated paper you can decorate the skirts of young ladies in an original way and style their hair

You can complete the missing elements using other visual techniques - drawing or sculpting. Accordingly, the children need to be offered pencils, markers or paints.
An original idea - to paint the young ladies not only from the front, but also from the back

Specific composition options

According to the program for visual activities by T. Komarova, the application “Festive round dance” is offered to pupils of the preparatory group in November. However, such a lesson can be held at another time, while slightly changing the topic, for example, timed to coincide with the New Year. The following options are possible:

"Round dance of nesting dolls."
The theme of the lesson can be designated as “Round dance of nesting dolls”, arranging the figures of folk dolls in a collective composition
“Round dance of friendship” (these can be figures of people with different skin colors or just figures around the globe).
The theme of the round dance has many interesting variations in the application, for example, friendship around the world
"Russian young ladies in a round dance." It is better to conduct the lesson in the spring, accompanied by a story about how in Rus' people joyfully greeted this time of year, sang songs, and danced in circles.
"Beautiful dolls in a round dance."
"Round dance of snowmen."
"Girls dancing at a matinee."

Motivating start to class

In the preparatory group, the teacher’s task continues to be to motivate preschoolers to be productive. Of course, at this age, conversations and the communication of interesting information are more actively used than the involvement of game characters. Options for motivating the beginning of a lesson can be the following:

Demonstration of paintings depicting people in Russian national costumes dancing in a round dance. Conversation on the plot of the paintings. The teacher suggests recalling round dance games that children know (for example, “Carousel”), and talks about games unknown to them.
You can start the lesson by showing pictures of folk festivals in Rus', where young people dance in circles
If the theme of the application is “Round Dance of Matryoshka Dolls,” then the lesson can begin by looking at the corresponding toys and how they are made by folk craftsmen.
If the theme of the application is “Round Dance of Matryoshka Dolls”, then at the beginning of the lesson the children look at this folk toy
The teacher reads the poem “Kindergarten” by G. R. Lazdyn, and then invites the children to create an album about how they spend time in kindergarten, what they play, what they do, for example, how they dance in circles during a music lesson and during games physical education.
Young lady Marya and young man Ivan (dolls in folk costumes) appear in front of the children. The teacher says that they are preparing to celebrate Maslenitsa, dance in circles and sing songs around birches - a tree that symbolizes Russia. The teacher offers to give Ivan and Marya a gift - cut out girls and boys from paper to make a friendly round dance.
Dolls Ivan and Marya in Russian national costumes come to the children and tell them that they are preparing to celebrate Maslenitsa
The teacher turns on quiet music, invites preschoolers to close their eyes and imagine themselves in a forest clearing. It was here that many years ago peasant girls came and held merry round dances.

Dynamic pauses, which are a mandatory part of engaging in productive activities, must be related to the theme of the round dance. For example, if the theme is “Round Dance of Matryoshka Dolls”, then this option would be suitable.

Self-analysis and assessment of work in class

Children in the preparatory group must evaluate their own actions every lesson. When studying at school, elements of self-analysis in the classroom will not be new for them, but a familiar and natural activity. Questions for reflection include:

What did you succeed in the lesson?
What didn't work?
Would you like me to help you fix your mistake?
Did you like the lesson?
What can you be praised for in this lesson?
