How to conduct classes
Illustrations, colorful drawn or photographed images are used in kindergarten classes; if you show an object, the phenomenon in close proximity does not work. Pictures for children “Autumn” should be hung on stands and shown to children from the end of August, when there are almost no signs of the arrival of September-October on the street.
In thematic classes, you need to use the following types of work with preschoolers:
- Carefully examine images and photographs. Drawings are distributed to children on tables. If the lesson is conducted with children 3-4 years old, it is printed out large and shown to the children from the hands of the teacher.
- A short lecture. The teacher talks, the children listen. The lecture should not be boring; color it with epithets and images. Focus on the signs of autumn, late and early, color features of the season, weather conditions, and adults’ activities in harvesting. Children aged 5-7 years can be trusted to tell their own story using pictures. In this case, the teacher helps with leading questions.
- Discussion. The teacher needs to ask the children a few questions: What did you see? What time of year is this? Why did you decide so? Etc.
- Games and tasks with pictures. After discussing the topic “Autumn” and looking at the paintings, invite children to color the plot image, and for preschoolers 5-6 years old to create a composition with paints and pencils.
- Final lesson. Conduct it in the format of a creative workshop. It can take place in November, when children observe changes in nature already on a walk with their parents or group. Give older preschoolers the task of drawing autumn and telling about their impressions. Pupils of the younger group - make a craft from natural material together with their parents, memorize a short poem.
