Pioneer heroes
Preschool children will be interested in learning about the heroic children who also fought the enemy during the war. They, without fear of reprisals from the Nazis, helped the Soviet army and the country win. Before the war, these were ordinary boys and girls; by 1941, many were barely 10 years old. During times of difficult trials, they accomplished a real feat, defending their people and harboring hatred for the fascists. Many of them died while carrying out their mission, helping the partisans, the army, and the Motherland.

Why tell children about war?
One of the important stages in the development of a child’s personality is his comprehensive development and knowledge of the history of his country is simply mandatory. Preschool children are very inquisitive. But not all topics may be of interest to them, but only those that have practical significance. Of course, a teacher or teacher must be able to present the material correctly in order to interest even the most unmotivated children. Boys and girls perceive stories about the war somewhat differently: boys use the example of heroes to form a model of masculinity and courage, girls take care of loved ones and victims. Stories about the exploits and valor of the Soviet people contribute to the formation in children of a sense of pride in their people, country, the development of patriotism, love for the Motherland, and the desire to be like the heroes who defended our country.
Conducting thematic conversations and events in kindergartens is an important component of the patriotic education of preschoolers, the formation of love for the Fatherland, which helps to feel the roots of one’s family. That is why, the sooner a child begins to feel his involvement in the Motherland, in his native land, the sooner he will develop a sense of responsibility for its future, the future of his country, his family.
Parents should work closely with kindergarten teachers so that, with an integrated approach, they not only expand the child’s knowledge about the war of 1941-1945, but also form in him a correct and clear civic position, cultivate a respectful attitude towards the elderly and veterans, monuments and heroes of the Second World War.
