Stages
The creation of a project takes place in 5 stages:
- Design. The teacher formulates the problem and indicates the goal of the project. Introduces the children into a game situation, then formulates tasks.
- Planning. At this stage, the teacher helps children plan their activities to solve the task.
- Search for information. The teacher helps children find the necessary information to solve the problem. Conducts classes and observations. The teacher can work with parents on the issue of encouraging independent creative activity in children.
- Presentation. The teacher, together with the children, prepares a presentation on the implementation of the project, after which they present it to other teachers and parents.
- Portfolio. The teacher can collect in a folder everything that was needed for the project: plan, drawings, diagrams, photographs, reports and results.
Speech therapy group
Pedagogically well-thought-out projects in preschool educational institutions are of great importance, especially in the speech therapy group. Children with speech problems need constant correction and development of speech functions. If the work is organized correctly, it will help the child develop his speech.

What is project activity?
The essence of project activity is that the teacher creates his own project that solves a research problem. Introduces this project into work with children. In this way, children engage in search activities.
If you simply explain some material to children, there is a risk that this material will soon be forgotten. But if the children themselves looked for ways to solve a problem, using mental processes, then these thoughts will be their own.
Project activity in kindergarten is a joint play or creative activity. It develops independence, responsibility, initiative, and determination.
