The current stage of development of preschool education is characterized by a rapid pace of introduction of innovative technologies into the practice of kindergartens. Federal state educational standards suggest that the construction of the educational process in kindergarten should be based on a comprehensive thematic principle. Therefore, a theme week in kindergarten becomes the basis for planning and organizing work in a preschool institution.
A thematic week, in which the entire educational process is built around a theme, has great potential for the development of preschoolers.
A thematic week in kindergarten allows children to have many opportunities for practical activities, basic experimentation, the formation of basic skills, and the development of mental functions. It unites all types of children's activities in kindergarten, makes them interesting and varied, and most importantly, useful for children. In addition, the thematic week allows the use of a regional and cultural component in the educational process.
Our kindergarten carries out its activities using the approximate basic general educational program of preschool education “From birth to school” N.E. Veraxes. According to the recommendations of the program, when planning the educational process, we pay attention to one topic for at least one week. Similar thematic weeks are introduced in different age groups. This serves to systematize and deepen knowledge, as well as continuity in the development of children throughout preschool childhood.
Taking into account the individual and age characteristics of children, to solve educational problems we determine a range of generally significant topics, as well as topics of interest to children. Thematic weeks are included in the group’s long-term educational work plan for the academic year , which is agreed upon with the senior kindergarten teacher.
The planning of thematic week titles is influenced by:
- educational objectives,
- time period of the year
- children's age.
For example, this is what long-term planning of thematic weeks in the first junior group looks like.

The search for new, effective forms of organizing children in a preschool institution, as well as the experience of several kindergartens, contributed to the revision of the system for planning the educational process in our preschool educational institution.
In order to increase the level of children's cognitive abilities, develop curiosity, provide psychophysical relief during the holidays, as well as to diversify the educational process, a plan for conducting thematic days and weeks for the entire school year was developed and tested.
The plan is designed for 36 weeks, which are based on certain events of the month, holidays, for example: “World Children’s Day”, “World Animal Day”, “Aviation and Cosmonautics Day”, “Physical Fitness Day”, etc.
Each day of the thematic week is filled with various activities that help to activate children as much as possible, expand and consolidate certain knowledge, skills and abilities of preschoolers.
Involving parents in participating in various competitions and events contributes to their closer emotional interaction with their children, as well as their interest in communicating with teachers.

Why do educators need themed weeks?
Gulidova Inna Sergeevna
Improving the education system requires introducing into the practice of educational institutions a set of measures aimed at timely providing each child with the necessary conditions for comprehensive development; formation of a full-fledged personality, receiving proper education.
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. Invite educators to hold a themed day: dedicate all routine moments to one topic.
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 thematic plan outlines the main goals, and its content is divided into five days of the week.
In the outline plan, the teacher will find a list of approximate forms of organizing work with children, proposals for equipping the developmental environment in the group and forms of interaction with the parents of the students. Each topic has a climax, which the teacher has the right to adjust if necessary.
Materials for working with children are a list of literature for children to read, conversations, riddles, sayings, games, visual aids, etc.
Methodological tips and encyclopedic and reference material will provide brief information that, if necessary, will help make adjustments to the educational process and show creativity.
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 other people.
Correct selection of thematic information by the teacher contributes to its better assimilation by preschoolers, the emergence of numerous opportunities for the development of their conceptual thinking, basic skills, experimentation and play.
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.
When organizing different types of children's activities, united by one theme, the role of the teacher becomes free, partner-like: we play together, 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.
These activities pursue several objectives simultaneously.
Firstly, a cognitive task is solved: depending on the topic of the week, activities include new material, in accordance with the educational program and taking into account all age groups of the preschool educational institution, which is considered in a slightly different aspect than in the classroom, which contributes to the best learning of the material .
Secondly, the social aspect of the pedagogical process is revealed, this is: the interaction of children of different ages, the involvement of parents not only as spectators, but, above all, as direct participants. And, of course, with the help of adults and children, the problem of artistic and aesthetic direction, which is the priority of the preschool educational institution, is solved.
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. Playing 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.
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. The manual is addressed to teachers of preschool educational organizations.
"Organization of thematic weeks in preschool educational institutions"methodological development on the topic
Topic “Thematic days in preschool educational institutions”
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.
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 pedagogical 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.
How to host 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.
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.

Thematic weeks in elementary school according to the Federal State Educational Standard
Thematic weeks as a means of organizing educational space in primary school
Explanatory note
I consider the main goal of educational work in the classroom to be the creation of a friendly team, the creative development of each child, the creation of such an atmosphere in the classroom so that the child enjoys going to school and receives positive emotions. Receiving a positive charge, the body opens to goodness and beauty. It is believed that a child immersed in an atmosphere of joy from an early age will grow up to be more resistant to many unexpected situations and will be less susceptible to stress and disappointment. This is why children need holidays and entertainment. Preschoolers go to school with great joy. For them, going to school is an extraordinary holiday. They expect meetings with interesting people, fun holidays, and some wonderful events from school. And we, teachers, should not disappoint them in this. The brightest, most unforgettable holiday is the one in which the whole family takes part. Such a holiday unites parents and children, gives love and the joy of communicating with the most dear people. When preparing for such a holiday, everyone will find something to their liking. The child’s eyes glow with joy, he is proud that his parents are taking part in the holiday next to him. In my practice, I use the organization of such family holidays. The following holidays were held: “Dad, Mom, I am a sports family”, “Dad, Mom, I am a creative family”, “Dad, Mom, I am a musical family”, “Dad, Mom, I am a Sochi family”, “ Dad, Mom, I’m a reading family,” “Dad, Mom, I’m a fishing family.” These holidays are the culmination of the themed weeks.
Why did I choose thematic weeks as the basis for educational work in the classroom?
Holding themed weeks seems to me to be a very successful form of organizing the educational process in primary schools. It is based on a method of collective creative work, in which each student can determine his place and realize his abilities and capabilities. Thematic weeks help to build educational work more purposefully and reasonably. It has already become a tradition to hold subject weeks in schools in mathematics, Russian language and literature, the environment around the world, and Kuban studies. Apart from academic subject weeks, other weeks are not practiced. In general, educational work is built on certain events that are not related to each other, so I consider one of the advantages of a thematic week to be the use of a wide range of events dedicated to a single topic. Every student and his parents take part in the preparation of thematic weeks. It is the task of the teacher and parents to skillfully think through, carefully organize, and fill the thematic week with the necessary content.
Thematic weeks
The goals of the thematic week: activation of students' cognitive activity, expansion of knowledge, creation of conditions for self-expression, self-affirmation, self-realization of each student, targeting children for effective work.
A few days in advance, an announcement about the upcoming theme week is posted in the classroom corner, and a plan for its implementation is indicated. Each student can choose an event in which he will take part, prepare for it, go to the library and find the necessary material in books, encyclopedias, reference books, and use Internet materials. Someone will want to participate in one event, someone in two, and someone will not miss a single event. In addition, you can prepare for events individually, or in groups. Working together brings the team together, children get to know each other better, they rejoice at the successes of their comrades, are upset by failures, and try to come to each other’s aid in time.. The child tries his hand at various areas of activity. In preparation for the thematic week, the teacher thinks through various forms, methods, means of conducting it, the use of technical means: computer, interactive whiteboard, TV, etc. Olympiads, quizzes, KVNs, tournaments, competitions, excursions, exhibitions, newspaper releases, holidays, etc. are widely used. The following thematic weeks were very interesting: Black Sea Week, Politeness Week, Favorite Game and Toy Week, Sports Week, Music Week, Creativity Week, Flower Week, Intellectual Week, Pochemuchkina Week, Career Guidance Week. On the last day of the thematic week, the results are summed up. Children tell what they learned about, what they learned, where they visited. The teacher and parents prepare surprises for each child. Assessing the effectiveness of thematic weeks, we note the following: - the level of moral education of children has increased (attitude towards their classmates, the surrounding nature, animals) - students have gained confidence in their strengths and capabilities, they began to participate more actively in various events - the horizons of younger schoolchildren have expanded according to educational material. Most parents are satisfied with the results of their children’s education and upbringing, and their position in the classroom. I propose plans for thematic weeks. 1st grade

A house, as everyone has known for a long time, is not walls, not a window, these are not chairs at the table, this is not a house.
Home is where they understand you, Where they hope and wait, Where you forget about the bad, this is your home. Literature: 1. Magazine “Primary School” 2. Newspaper “First of September” 3. Newspaper “Pedagogical Council”
