The summer period is the time when the greatest importance in the active life of children is given to outdoor games and entertainment in the fresh air and in a group, thereby strengthening and tempering the health of children, improving their overall well-being, mental and physical health, as well as a cheerful mood.
The beginning of summer in kindergarten was marked by an interesting “Colorful Week”. Activities carried out during this period were aimed at developing positive qualities in children, high emotional uplift, development of friendly feelings, kind attitude towards each other and the development of aesthetic perception of the world around them.
Children's mental abilities were strengthened by learning poetry and dramatizing fairy tales, and aesthetic feelings were developed when designing creative works in visual and constructive activities, didactic and outdoor games, and in designing drawings on asphalt.
The beginning of the “Colorful Week”, following the colors of the rainbow, Fr. And immediately the children plunged into the bright shades of red, entering the kindergarten in clothes containing red colors. The didactic game “Find and name everything red” fixed the children’s attention on finding all the red objects in the group.
On this day, the children and I remembered the fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” by Charles Perrault. The children staged this fairy tale with great pleasure using the “Puppet Theater on the Shoulders”. Not a single child was left without participation, everyone could show their theatrical abilities, everyone had the opportunity to appear in the role of a grandmother, and in the role of a wolf and Little Red Riding Hood, as well as brave woodcutters. Good mood remains for the whole day!
Next up were Journey to the Orange Kingdom and Journey to the Yellow Kingdom. A riot of orange and yellow colors was present in everything these days: in children’s outfits and in their favorite toys from home, in drawings on the asphalt “Radiant Sun”, in children’s creative works: modeling “Chicks” from plasticine, in reading the fairy tale “At the Sun in guests" and viewing illustrations of inflating yellow and orange balloons. But the most interesting for the children were experiments with water: “Colored Water”, where children had the opportunity to get acquainted with the properties of water to change color. They watched with curiosity as the clear water first turned yellow when a small amount of yellow gouache paint was added, and then turned into a bright orange color when a little red paint was added to the yellow water. The guys all took turns stirring water in a glass to get a beautiful color. Many people discovered for the first time how to obtain orange from yellow and red. But practical experience cemented this color experiment in the children’s memory.
“Journey to the Green Kingdom” reminded the children of an already familiar phrase: “Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits!” It was by the first letters of the words that the children remembered the next color of the day, and this time it was green.
This is the color of everything green on earth: grass, trees, flowers. That is why we started our day by repeating the names of all the indoor plants in our group, took care of them - gave them water, removed dry leaves. We learned the finger gymnastics “Tree” with the children and repeated the game exercise “We are entering a dense forest.” The information box “How all living things grow” introduced children to the characteristic stages of development of living organisms (people, animals, plants), that for their growth and development they need the same things: water, light, air, nutrition, love and caring attitude of others.
The following "Journey to the Blue Kingdom" and "Journey to the Blue Kingdom" were filled with air and sea themes. Didactic games “I am the color of the sky” and “Find and name everything blue in your friend’s clothes and in yours, as well as in the group” aroused genuine interest among children, because blue shades are always pleasant for children’s perception. In the visual activity, children painted a “Boat” floating on the waves, where they showed their imagination and creative abilities. We read the fairy tale by A. S. Pushkin “The Tale of Tsar Saltan” and looked at the colorful illustrations for this fairy tale. The children were able to name the marine theme in this fairy tale, what shades of blue there are, compared the color of the sea in different scenes of the fairy tale, and then they happily drew their favorite characters from A. S. Pushkin’s fairy tale.
Children remembered “Journey to the Violet Kingdom” with plasticine painting “Bunch of Grapes” and drawing “Beets and Eggplants”.
The “Colorful Week” ended with “Journey to the Rainbow Kingdom.” On this day, together with the children, we remembered all the colors of the rainbow and, of course, tried to depict a bright and beautiful “Rainbow” from plasticine on cardboard (plasticineography). The children showed creativity and imagination and consolidated their ability to attach plasticine with strokes to a flat surface. Watching the cartoon “Tsvetik - Semitsvetik” reminded the children of the fairy tale of the same name read by V. Kataev. The fairy tale left in the hearts of the children good feelings and a desire to do good deeds and maintain friendly relations with each other.
All the events held during the “Colorful Week” were remembered by the children for their brightness and originality, arousing positive emotions and a desire to creatively express their imagination. The children received a charge of good mood and emotional uplift, thereby involving their parents in their desires.
