Observations of nature and the surrounding reality are carried out daily.

Outdoor games and physical education classes alternate with walking transitions to the objects closest to the kindergarten. If this is a city institution, then a group with educators goes to parks or squares once a week. If the institution is located in a rural area, then you can take a walk in the meadow or go to the river bank.

Winter holidays in kindergarten

On cold New Year's days, preschool children also have the right to rest. At this time, the number of training sessions is reduced. Depending on the age group, only music, physical education and visual activities remain. In the older groups, lessons continue on familiarization with nature, the surrounding reality andspeech development.

In nature familiarization classes, winter phenomena are repeated. Talks are held about safety during the period of ice and the appearance of icicles on the roof eaves. In the classes on familiarization with the outside world, the teacher tells the children about the traditions of celebrating the New Year and Christmas in the country, the children look at the pictures and answer questions about their content.

Holiday party
