Holiday planning
Planning the educational process in preschool educational institutions based on calendar holidays.
In our kindergarten, along with weekly calendar-thematic planning of the educational process, holiday planning is widely used, with the help of which teachers expand students’ understanding of the events of Russian and world holiday culture; introduce you to holiday etiquette, rituals, and customs; introduce you to the diversity of professions and working people; foster a desire to cherish and protect the surrounding nature, a positive attitude of the child towards himself and the people around him, tolerance, friendliness, a desire to bring joy to people and share it with others, empathy, care; strengthen family values by involving parents in active cooperation; enrich vocabulary, develop children's creative abilities; cultivate aesthetic feelings and love for art.
Since ancient times, holidays have been the basis of human culture. The holiday calendar includes a huge number of different celebrations, which differ in their history, have their own traditions, rituals, carry various functions, many of them are entertaining in nature. There is a festive culture, which includes traditions, customs, rituals, and festive etiquette.
During the calendar year, using a monthly list of holidays that are understandable to preschoolers, we introduce children to the main international, state, national, and professional holidays both during organized educational activities and in their free time. Particular attention is paid to telling stories to children, conversations, reading fiction, viewing illustrations, presentations, videos, animated films, role-playing games, productive activities for students, regular entertainment and festive events, organizing exhibitions of crafts and drawings.
Children get acquainted with professional holidays: Day of preschool workers, post office, air traffic controller, cook, police, rescuer, dentist, nurses, fire department; with environmental holidays: Day without a car, sea, animals, nature reserves, cats, Earth; with social holidays: Day of Peace, the Elderly, the Disabled, Tolerance, Hugs, Thank You, Smiles, Human Rights, Family, Mother in Russia; with cultural holidays: Day of beauty, music, architecture, theater, museums, libraries; with educational holidays: Day of planetariums, children's television and radio broadcasting, animation.
When introducing students to holiday culture, we implement many ideas. Thus, we traditionally celebrate Mother’s Day in Russia with a concert program, which is attended by mothers and the rector of the Intercession Church, John Bakushkin. The priest talks with the children and instructs them, reminding them that it is important not only to accept mother’s love with gratitude, but also to take care of the mother yourself: try not to upset her, always take care, help, please. In November 2021, before this wonderful holiday, as part of the parent club, the project “I bake with my mother” was implemented in our preschool educational institution. The children of the “Bunnies” group, under the guidance of their skillful mothers, baked cakes, pies, cookies, and pastries at home. At the end of the matinee, preschoolers were shown a video that captured this fascinating process in different families. And then children and adults went to tea, where everyone appreciated the masterpieces of baking.
On Rescuer Day of the Russian Federation, we met people of heroic professions. Employees of the Center for Prevention and Response to Emergency Situations and members of the fire brigade came to visit us. With great interest, preschoolers studied means of rescuing drowning people, the structure of a fire engine, and repeated various rules of safe behavior indoors, outdoors and in nature.
International Mother Language Day was celebrated by watching a presentation and conversation on the topic “Treasury of the Russian Language” and getting acquainted with educational cartoons from the “Our Friend Pishichitai” series.
On World Marine Mammal Day, educators told children about how important it is to protect these animals. Next, productive types of children's activities were organized: the kids of the "Cherry" group drew whales using cotton swabs and gouache, the middle group "Squirrels" painted images, the senior group "Bunnies" performed a collective cut-out appliqué "Cheerful Whale".
In this way, we help preschoolers expand their understanding of professional holidays, holidays related to nature, science and technological progress, and the preservation and promotion of health. The students delight us with their interest, activity, patriotic spirit, social and moral feelings, and manifestation of creative abilities.
Pedagogical diagnostics includes several types of tasks: these are questions with expected specific answers, reflecting children’s ideas about holidays; questions for reflection, comparison, choice situations; tasks to reveal creative abilities. It allows you to determine the knowledge, abilities, skills of children on issues of festive culture, identify the social and moral position, the level of formation of moral and emotional feelings, imagination, arbitrariness - perseverance, accuracy, the desire to plan the stages of their activities and bring the work started to the end.

The results are assessed as follows: if the child independently copes with tasks, answers in detail and quickly enough, has a large amount of information and willingly shares knowledge, reasoning, using concepts, notations, shows creativity, the teacher notes a high level of knowledge, skills and abilities on the topic diagnostics At an average level of knowledge, children cope with tasks with the help of a teacher, and find it difficult to answer many questions. Children with a low level of learning ability cannot cope with most tasks, even with pedagogical help. The teacher’s task is to develop the child’s skills so that his level becomes higher than the level diagnosed at the beginning of the school year.

A game
at a children's party acts, on the one hand, as a method of activating the child, on the other hand, as an important form of mastering cultural forms of behavior. Collective games are characterized by eventfulness, plot, action, and imagery. Emotions “cement” the game, make it exciting, and create a favorable climate for communication. It is important to captivate children and make sure that the end of the game is not drawn out, but is characterized by brightness, emotional richness, and effectiveness.
Entertainment
Entertainment, as one of the types of cultural and leisure activities, is of a compensatory nature, compensating for the costs of everyday life and monotony of the environment. Entertainment should always be a colorful moment in the lives of children, enriching impressions and developing creative activity.
When organizing entertainment of the first type in order to activate children, they are involved in the design of the hall or group; production of attributes or invitation cards. In this type of event, the cultural and leisure activities of preschoolers are somewhat limited: they are mainly spectators, and receive a positive emotional mood in the process of perception.
Types of entertainment according to the degree of activity of children's participation
children are only listeners or spectators
children are direct participants
participants – adults and children.
The second type of entertainment makes it possible to include children more widely in the process of preparation and performance. They themselves prepare numbers for performances, stage performances, act out roles, and take an active part in various games. This type of entertainment allows the teacher to find something to do for each child, which has a positive effect on the formation of the foundations of an individual’s culture.
The third type is mixed. It allows children to expand their communication with adults and peers, which is so necessary for the overall development of preschoolers. Involving parents in this section of the teacher’s cultural and leisure activities is a good way for the kindergarten to work with the family.
Such events are usually held in the afternoon. In this case, the teacher must take into account the time of year. Once a week it is advisable to hold a longer (30–35 min) entertainment event with a greater emotional load, and on other days offer short (5–10 min) fun activities: small surprises, jokes, jokes, nursery rhymes, riddles, shows tricks and improvisational scenes from the life of a kindergarten or based on literary works.
Parental Involvement
Preschool childhood is a favorable period for introducing children to the origins of musical culture. Experience shows that parents are interested in the in-depth musical development of the child and are ready to participate in joint activities in kindergarten. The main task of children's musical development is the formation of the foundations of musical culture, the moral and aesthetic development of the personality of a preschooler. Her solution is aimed at the joint organization of musical activities of children, teachers, music director and parents. Through joint efforts, this process is carried out more successfully; the union of like-minded adults allows us to achieve the best results in the musical development of children.
