The administration of any educational institution, of course, takes care not only of knowledge, but also of the health of its pupils. Preschools are no exception. A good example is the kindergarten health week. The action plan is always carefully thought out by methodologists and educators. In addition, representatives of the parent committee are often involved.
What is kindergarten health week ? Action plan
So, we will consider this event in more detail. What is kindergarten health week? The plan of activities in different institutions may vary. Each thinks through it in his own way - original, unusual. However, all of them are united by one sign - this is a form of active recreation for kids. These days, their joint activities and regimen are filled with various exercises and sports games. In addition, the number of hours spent in the fresh air increases markedly. Most importantly, a health week in kindergarten (we will consider the action plan below) should not only be thought out within a couple of days. The administration needs to take into account all the nuances - the number of children, and the time of year, and weather conditions.
The theme of the event (health) involves both calm and intense movements, reflected in the direction of “physical development”. Moreover, they are accompanied by various cognitive, speech and artistic and aesthetic moments.
What to do with children?
The activities of the kids are not limited to participation in outdoor games or physical education. Kindergarten programs, by the way, also involve various types of labor. So, kids can clear the snow on the track or clean up in a group.
Kindergarten programs related to the Health Week also include reading sports literature, watching a variety of videos on this topic, solving puzzles and riddles, reciting poems.
The tasks of such events are also to form ideas about a healthy lifestyle, to challenge an emotionally positive attitude to sports.
As a result, children are well aware that they need to grow healthy, active, show interest in various sports.
Conduct conversations
What else can diversify this event? Private kindergartens, for example, are distinguished by the fact that they conduct regular conversations with the kids. At these moments, educators tell them that being healthy and strong is by no means difficult. The main thing is to know what and in what situation to do. Therefore, adults must explain to children how to protect themselves from problems. Private kindergartens are seriously addressing this issue. Even inspectors of the traffic police, the Ministry of Emergencies, doctors, etc. are invited here. Special consultations have a huge impact on children.
Connect parents
For adults, there are also separate points. A health week in kindergarten (an action plan) is signed on points, taking into account the wishes and possibilities of parents.
Quite often, educators organize "Fun Starts." Both kids and adults take part in them. Teams perform various exercises, try to work together, which undoubtedly brings the whole team as close as possible.
Pay attention to the recommendations of professionals
Naturally, educators who want to improve their skills need to take into account the opinions of well-known experts. The week of health (planning) is covered in the most diverse pedagogical literature.
Professionals necessarily note the fact that in different groups of kindergarten this event will be held in completely different ways. If the smallest are suitable for simple cognitive exercises, then middle-aged children should already offer logical tasks. They may relate to issues of rest on the water, careful handling of fire, collisions with strangers, edible and inedible fruits. In the older group, the tasks need to be a little more complicated. Of course, there can also be many options. Doing sports, rules of behavior in everyday life, on the road, in the forest - all this will be very interesting for kids.
If there are a lot of children in the kindergarten, that is, several groups of the same age are formed, methodologists recommend ending the week of health with a serious sports competition. The crumbs will be able to feel like real participants in the Olympic Games.
Combination with art
What else could a health week include? Events can be not only informative or sporting. It is recommended to combine this theme with art. For example, with music. A variety of entertainment, accompanied by funny songs, is exactly what gives all children great pleasure.
You can use illustrative material. There are many pictures with children actively playing in the fresh air. Considering them, with the kids you can once again discuss winter and summer sports, the benefits of outdoor games.
And for parents even exhibitions of special methodical literature are organized. The motto, of course, is the same: "A healthy lifestyle from an early age!" Looking through these books and brochures will be useful.
In a word, you can diversify a week of health in many ways. At the same time, the kids will be very interested in such games, competitions and conversations.
Test
A health week in a preschool educational institution may also involve the so-called testing of knowledge in children and their parents. For this, educators come up with special test tasks in advance. Interesting questions and various answer options will make it possible to understand how interested people are interested in health issues, physical education, hardening, how much they understand their importance and essence.
As a result, parents themselves can see the level of their knowledge, understand whether they strengthen their child’s body enough, and whether the baby is developing normally.
At the same time, the regime of each day of the week of health is saturated with all kinds of games, funs, exercises. That is, daily tests can be devoted to a certain topic. Depending on this, specific classes for children are selected that are appropriate for them. In a word, every day passes under its own motto.
For example, on Monday, the "Festival of cleanliness." The tests raise questions regarding personal hygiene . After this, a quiz is organized with small prizes in the form of toilet soap, toothpaste, towels, etc.
The incredible benefits of events
In general, it is not so important where the health week will take place - in the older group, middle or younger. In any case, the goal is one!
The most important task is to form the basics of self-preservation in children, to instill in them habits to think, not to forget about their health.
After a series of such events, the guys begin to take care of their body, they develop a persistent habit of physical activity.
Educators can specifically create problem situations in a playful way. It is such classes that allow you to clearly demonstrate the importance of a proper attitude to your health.
Educators also teach children how to handle a wide variety of dangerous substances, to understand the functions and structure of the human body. They build skills to take care of their health, introduce them to possible traumatic situations, and give an idea of the rules for caring for patients (that is, relatives should take care of them, observe silence, pay attention to their requests and instructions from doctors).
Thus, these activities are very useful for children and their parents. Accordingly, a health week should be held in every kindergarten. Educators and methodologists will need very little for this - just a small amount of free time, their own imagination and the recommendations of professionals.
