Consultation for educators
“How to organize a themed day: new ideas” for a teacher

If the content of educational activities is not related to the life of children in kindergarten, then they quickly forget about it. The solution to this problem is simple. I propose to hold a themed day: dedicate all routine moments to one topic.
How to choose a topic, what to include in the theme day script and how to organize the activities of students?
Teaching teams of different preschool educational organizations design the model of the educational process in their own way and draw up their own educational program. At the same time, each teacher can and should independently model the educational process in the group. A creative approach to this issue assumes that the teacher: partially or completely changes the topic; adjusts the content of work with children; takes into account regional and cultural components, characteristics of the age group and preschool educational institutions. You can develop a model of the educational process by including themed days.
What is a theme day? This is when an educator chooses a specific topic to solve educational problems and combines it with a holiday or calendar event. Thus, this topic is at the center of the pedagogical process. The teacher’s work with children during a theme day is based on a routine. The content is linked to all routine moments (morning reception, gymnastics, walk, etc.) and is associated with continuous educational activities. This is an unusual day for children. It is filled with surprises, games, riddles, and exciting journeys. Preschoolers learn a lot of new, useful and interesting things, make crafts, draw, and fantasize. New toys appear in the group room, favorite cartoon and fairy tale characters come to visit, and sometimes a puppet theater comes to visit.
For a teacher, a themed day is about pedagogical creativity, ingenuity, transformation, immersing children in a topic in order to convey something to them. This system of organizing the educational process with the inclusion of thematic days is built on the principles of the Federal State Educational Standard for Education and provides for:
- comprehensive thematic planning;
- integration of educational fields;
- various types of children's activities and forms of their organization.
What problems will the teacher solve with the help of a theme day? With the help of themed days, the teacher will be able to plan interesting and meaningful work with preschoolers and solve various educational, educational, and developmental tasks. When a child participates in a theme day, he or she develops cognitive motivation and engagement, and begins to follow cultural norms—including rules for interacting with others.
How to choose a topic? To choose a theme for the day, refer to the calendar of significant events and memorials. In preschool age, children learn to distinguish between holidays and weekdays, learn that there are international and public holidays, that each of them has its own history. The child should feel the emotional component of the holiday - the state when he participates in the preparation for the event: decorates the group, makes gifts and souvenirs. Children experience special emotions when they congratulate on the holiday and receive congratulations.
For example, in the summer, thematic days can be dedicated to International Children's Day, World Milk Day, World Parents' Day, World Children's Football Day, World Chocolate Day, International Friendship Day, International Chess Day. The content of a theme day can be the same for all age groups or only for children of a specific age. For example, on June 1, hold a themed Milk Day in younger age groups, and Children’s Day in older preschool age groups.
What to include in the theme day script?
If the educational process in kindergarten represents a complex thematic model and educational tasks are implemented not only in the classroom, but also in other routine moments, use staging technology. This is a new direction in teaching practice. Educators should move away from the traditional writing of a lesson plan and create a script for the entire day or its components (morning reception, thematic walk, etc.). To create a theme day script, the teacher needs:
- objectively assess the level of your work, the environment and conditions in which educational activities are carried out at the time of planning (what the children have already mastered, what results have been obtained);
- highlight the goals and objectives, correlate them with the educational program, age composition of the group, priority areas of the educational process in preschool educational institutions;
- outline the results of the work that must be achieved (what children will learn new things, what they will learn, what personality traits they will develop);
- choose the optimal forms, means, methods to obtain the planned result.
The plan-scenario of the thematic day should ensure the unity of educational, developmental and educational goals and objectives and the integration of educational areas.
For example, on the eve of World Sun Day, organize a themed Sun Day in your kindergarten. Its main goals are to evoke positive emotions in children and develop cognitive interest in research activities. Let educators tell preschoolers about what the Sun is, the reasons for the change of day and seasons. They will conduct experiments and experiments, invite students to draw greeting cards, jointly come up with a holiday emblem, and give souvenirs to each other and to students of younger groups. Activities within the framework of this thematic day can be not only in groups, but also on the territory of the preschool educational institution: games with sunbeams and soap bubbles, relay races and competitions, observing the sun through sunglasses and colored glass, the game “Why another day (season) comes” "
How to spend a theme day?
During theme days, educators must be creative, take into account the level of knowledge and skills of the children in their group, come up with surprise moments, elements of including preschoolers in games and activities. The topic of the day should be revealed in an emotionally figurative form. It is important not only to convey new knowledge, but also to organize the “living” of the topic in different types of children's activities:
- games;
- cognitive and research activities;
- experimentation;
- visual activities;
- through the perception of fiction, music.
Educators should include children of older preschool age in the preparation of themed days. To do this, you need to discuss with them how to transform the subject-development environment and play corners. Use phrases like: “Let's discuss...”, “What do you think would be better...”, etc. This builds confidence, responsibility, and a sense of adulthood in preschoolers. It is important to properly equip the subject-development environment in groups in accordance with the theme of the day. According to the Federal State Educational Standard for Educational Education, a developing subject-spatial environment must ensure maximum realization of the educational potential of the group space and be content-rich, transformable, multifunctional, variable, accessible and safe.
For example, when preparing for Music Day, the teacher should pay special attention to the center for children’s musical development (music corner). Together with the music director, select according to the age of the children:
• musical and didactic games;
• pictures for viewing depicting musical instruments;
• story pictures in which children sing, dance, play instruments;
• portraits of already familiar composers and those with whom preschoolers are supposed to be introduced; illustrations for their works;
• children's literature on the topic, etc.
When organizing different types of children's activities, united by one theme, the role of the teacher becomes free, partner-like: we play together, experiment, look for answers to questions, and engage in creativity. The teacher’s involvement in activities along with the children makes the process emotionally rich and effective. The game occupies a special place in the theme day. The teacher must create conditions to interest children in various types of games and develop their gaming skills. Play during a theme day is a free independent activity for preschoolers. At the same time, you need to think about how to implement most of its content. The teacher’s position “Let’s come up with something else...” will allow us to fill the educational process with the interests of children. They will become not performers, but active participants in the game simulation.
