Club work in the middle group - what interesting things to do?

Club work at preschool educational institutions

First, I would like to talk in general about what place circle work occupies in the activities of a kindergarten, why it is needed, what goals it pursues and how it is organized.

So, any planning of a group’s work for the year includes the inclusion in the plan of various clubs in which children will study in addition to the general main load of compulsory classes. This is the so-called variable part of the program.

The wide selection of clubs in kindergarten today will amaze even the most demanding parent. However, despite the variety of thematic areas, all circles are organized and function according to the same patterns.

A circle is the bringing together of children in a group for activities based on a common interest. When choosing a topic for a circle, the interests and needs of children, as well as the wishes of parents, are taken into account, which can be found out through conversations, consultations, surveys and parent-teacher meetings. And, as mentioned above, within the circle, children are taught material that goes beyond the standard of preschool education.

Functions of clubs in kindergarten:

• educational;
• socially adaptive;
• correctional and developmental;
• educational.

Clubs are organized in kindergarten with the following goals:

• to deepen and expand the knowledge acquired through basic education;
• to become familiar with knowledge that is not included in the state program (for gifted children);
• for the development of skills that develop self-knowledge, self-development, self-regulation, and interpersonal communication skills.

When carrying out circle work, the teacher must find the right emotional wave in order to interest children in the proposed activity. Communication should occur easily and naturally, bringing pleasure to both the teacher and the children.

At the same time, it is important to take into account such conditions as convenient organization of the workspace, activities for children based on their strengths and interests, and presentation of material in the form of a game.

Club work with children is carried out in the form of frontal group classes, excursions, walks, entertainment events and competitions.

As a rule, circles are organized in the following four areas:

• physical development;
• social - personal development;
• cognitive and speech development;
• artistic and aesthetic development.

Explanatory note.

Preschool age is a bright, unique page in the life of every person. It is during this period that the child’s connection with the leading spheres of existence is established: the world of people, nature, the objective world. There is an introduction to culture, to universal human values. Curiosity develops and interest in creativity is formed.

Currently, issues of capacity development are attracting more and more attention. It has become obvious that the expanded (sometimes excessive) field of knowledge, abilities and skills that modern children possess does not bring the desired results when studying at school. Therefore, it is necessary to take care to form the child’s activity in understanding the world around him, solving cognitive problems, and prepare him for the conscious acquisition of knowledge.

Why origami? The expediency of introducing the course is justified by two circumstances: firstly, preschoolers are characterized by a desire to create, as well as a desire to obtain quick results; secondly, origami has a huge educational effect.

Origami has a great influence on the development of creative imagination and perception.

At the very beginning of work, the child has to focus on reading the folding diagram. Already this initial work is aimed at developing the highest form of perception - meaningful visual perception, which is associated with various operations of thinking.

Then the child meets the paper - tactile perception is activated. With his fingers he perceives the surface roughness, density, elasticity of the paper, pays attention to color, reaction to folding.

The finished figurine is not an exact copy of an animal, bird or flower, it is an image. But the child understands that in front of him is a cat, a fish, a butterfly. It turns out that you can create a whole world from an ordinary sheet of paper. Children often talk to their figure and invent different stories. They learn not only to add, but also to compose.

Origami is also a kind of psychotherapy that can distract from worries: by folding paper, the child involuntarily concentrates his attention on this process. In addition, origami helps stimulate the activity of both the left and right hemispheres of the brain, since it requires simultaneous control over hand movements.

Observations of children doing origami have shown that it is easier for them to work with plans and diagrams in classes on design and orientation in space, their eye is better developed, and in general their intellectual abilities increase.

This activity strengthens family relationships. Many mothers, fathers, and older children attend classes in the evenings, forming a creative club united by a common interest. In these classes, both adults and children can master more complex origami figures, share homework, exchange literature on origami, and organize joint exhibitions and celebrations.

Origami classes allow children to satisfy their cognitive interests, expand awareness in this educational field, enrich communication skills and acquire the ability to carry out joint activities in the process of mastering the program. They also contribute to the development of fine motor skills, which has an important impact on the development of children’s speech.

This type of art has a beneficial effect on the development of attention and the formation of memory: children remember terms, techniques and folding methods, and, as needed, reproduce the knowledge and skills stored in memory.

The purpose of the program is

comprehensive intellectual and aesthetic development of children in the process of mastering the elementary techniques of origami technique, as an artistic method of designing from paper.

Circles in the middle group

What directions and topics should we take for the middle group? I will say right away that long-term planning, as a rule, provides for several areas of activity that a kindergarten can offer based on the availability of teaching staff and logistics.

Since at this age all children love to make crafts, a circle called “Skillful Hands” would be an absolutely win-win option. Creative manual labor allows you to develop sensorimotor skills, improve coordination of movements, develops the child’s mental development and thinking, fosters independence, confidence and initiative. In such a circle, activities are carried out on working with paper and cardboard, including such areas as origami, with fabric and thread, natural and waste materials.

It is also quite possible to offer a circle on ecology and call it, for example, “Visiting Nature.” In preschool education, the ecological-biological direction allows you to understand nature, develop a humane attitude towards it and learn to consciously behave in the natural environment.

A child aged 4-5 years is a “why” who is interested in cause-and-effect relationships in living and inanimate nature. In order for children to get answers to all their questions, you can conduct excursions with observations, didactic games, quizzes and competitions, solve riddles, read literary works and have conversations with them.

Also in this matter, practical methods of consolidating the learned material will be relevant: designing a herbarium, theatrical activities in the form of staging fairy tales and individual skits, making visual aids together with children.

If we consider the long-term plan for the work of a drawing circle, then we can offer many interesting techniques that are not provided for in the general education curriculum. The objectives of this circle are to get acquainted with non-traditional drawing techniques, use a wide variety of materials, get acquainted with different genres of fine art, develop in children a sense of form, color, proportion, as well as cultivate an aesthetic attitude towards the world around them.

Within the framework of this circle, you can teach children to draw with fingers, cotton swabs, make impressions with crumpled paper and imprints with leaves, master pointillism (drawing with dots), drawing with palms, cotton pads, toothpaste, blowing with a tube and much more, including such a direction as plasticineography.

Methodical piggy bank

Thus, you see that the middle group of kindergarten offers the widest scope for choosing circle work. If parents wish, you can also offer a math group, or, for example, an English language group, organize a dance group, or show a puppet theater.

The main thing is that you are competent in the field of activity that you are applying for. Or clubs can be taught by other specialists, if there are any in the kindergarten, for example, dance or English.

To help you, there are teaching aids and recommendations for conducting classes that will help present the material in a beautiful and interesting form:

• “Artistic and aesthetic development of children 5-6 years old. Plasticineography classes";
• "Children's design. Plasticinography" and "Plastilinography 2";
• “Take care of the living. Game didactic material on ecology for children from 4 years old";
• “Theatrical activities in preschool educational institutions. Scenarios based on fairy tales of foreign writers and peoples of the world";
• “Artistic work in kindergarten. Middle group. Lesson notes and methodological recommendations."

And, tell us, dear teachers, what clubs are there in your kindergartens, which of them are the most popular? Parents can also take part in the survey and write what they would most like to do with their children in the garden. Maybe there are some new directions that I don’t know about yet. In general, share everything you know.

Don’t forget to like the article on social networks and subscribe to blog updates. We have a lot of interesting things ahead of us.

Sincerely, Tatyana Sukhikh! Till tomorrow!
