  • Types of games on the theme “May 9”

    Based on the fact that gaming activity accompanies all methods of organizing educational activities, the theme “Victory Day” is implemented in the following types of games:

    • didactic (in verbal, board and printed games, games with objects);
    • outdoor activities (in team and individual competitions, attention games);
    • theatrical (in dramatizations, including to illustrate physical education lessons).

    Games on the theme "Victory Day" usually have musical accompaniment.

    Educational, that is, didactic games, are used mainly in the process of educational activities or when performing routine tasks (for example, verbal games can be played while walking), while active and theatrical games are more focused on organizing leisure activities: matinees, sports festivals.

    At the same time, the goals of gaming activities in the context of the “Victory Day” theme will be common:

    • gaining knowledge about the history of the country;
    • development of speech, thinking and basic physical abilities;
    • instilling a sense of pride in the heroism of the people during the Second World War.

    These goals are specified in the context of each type of game for all age groups.

    Games on the theme “Victory Day” can be held not only indoors, but also outdoors

    Quilling - unusual and simple

    The holiday is coming - how to prepare?

    Dates such as February 23 and May 9 rarely go unnoticed by educators. Legal holidays for adults coincide with creative competitions and developmental events in schools and kindergartens.

    A child’s request to help with a craft should not come as a surprise to parents, so it’s worth stocking up on:
    • Free time. Yes, creativity cannot be rushed. It is necessary to discuss all possible options with the young family member and provide support at all stages.
    • Inspiration. Photos of military crafts, themed films, lessons - excellent food for creative thought.
    • Materials. Paper, glue, wood, plastic - everything goes into use! Choices should be limited only by reasonable precautions and imagination.

    For professionals

    Many elementary school students manage to master outstanding skills before school. You can’t ignore them, because they can become a source of wonderful crafts:

    • Wood burning will ideally complement decoupage, giving it a finished look;

    Games have invaluable methodological potential for realizing the goals and objectives of the educational process. Moreover, both in the GCD format, and during matinees, leisure activities, and when performing routine tasks. With the help of the game, children more easily perceive material even on such a complex topic as “Victory Day,” which, according to the Federal State Educational Standard, is studied by preschoolers of all age groups.

    For the little ones

    Kindergarten is not demanding on results, so you can get by with little effort. Soft colored paper is simple and interesting.

    With the help of scissors, glue and pencils, even the youngest artists can do:

    • Small paintings;
    • Holiday cards for an important date. The most popular is the “book” version, with a bright cover and congratulatory text inside;
    • Fun and colorful appliques. This type of military craft for kindergarten is the most common;
    • Origami - flexible children's hands can turn a piece of paper into a complex three-dimensional toy.

    We recommend reading:
    • Natural vitamin supplements - do we really need them?
    • Metalworking catalog
    • Who is better to buy links from?

    Receiving such a gift is a very pleasant event for any man. Such crafts do not take up much space and can please the eye for a long time.

    The most successful options win competitions and are put on public display in children's libraries, kindergartens, and clubs.
