Cosmonautics Day in kindergarten.

Children, beginning with the diapers, are already striving to learn this world and to learn everything new for them and the unknown. They perceive information at all levels of perception, from the very beginning it is the tactile way, then hearing and vision develops more strongly. Thus, the child should see, hear and touch everything, and in some cases also taste. At preschool age children with adequate development and social adaptation already have a lot of knowledge and skills, but they have an unlimited craving for new knowledge. If this is not suppressed, but, on the contrary, developed and maintained, the child will turn into a developed, harmonious and uncommon person with age.

This is why, at preschool age, it is necessary to give children as much information as possible not only about what they see and can touch, but also about what exists in the universe, telling them about the laws of the universe and various phenomena. In connection with the fiftieth anniversary of the first manned space flight, a state program was proposed to hold a day of cosmonautics in the kindergarten. This will greatly expand the horizons of children and enrich them with new knowledge about the unknown. In addition, learning that adults also do not know something, but can only guess, gives children advantages, they feel more grown up and smarter.

Almost all children tend to fantasize and invent their own worlds, unknown to science animals and creatures from other planets, so they are always interested in learning about the existence of other planets, except the Earth, and the secrets they hide.

How interesting to arrange a room for classes.

To hold space in the kindergarten will require a certain amount of imagination, colored paper, cardboard and other accessories for needlework. It will be very interesting for children if in one of the rooms to create their own space in the kindergarten. To do this, you will need dark curtains on the windows to create an atmosphere of darkness of outer space, hang painted planets on the walls, including the Earth (it can be drawn in more detail). In the center of the room hang the Sun. Children can also take part in the design of the room: you need to give them paper and scissors so that they cut out the asterisks, and then paste them on the walls.

Contents of the lesson.

The activity itself should be accompanied by songs about the cosmos, new information about the planets, the structure of the solar system, the first manned flight into space. It is obligatory to tell the children that our first fellow in space was our compatriot, pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who on the space ship "Vostok" came out into outer space and returned to Earth alive. At the same time, the information should be in an accessible form, understandable at the preschooler level, so that the children are interested. To explain that since then every year this day is celebrated as a day of cosmonautics in kindergarten and all over the world.

Fantasize.

Spending the day of cosmonautics in the kindergarten, you can invite children to come up with their own planet, draw it and populate unknown animals with animals. Then these planets are also hung in the room, and the children portray their fictional animal, telling what it eats, where it lives, what sounds it makes and with whom it's friends. Thus, the room will turn into a zoo of uncharted animals. Preschoolers have a very developed imagination and they will easily and with interest carry out these tasks.

The purpose of the day of astronautics in the kindergarten is aimed at developing unlimited thinking among children, which goes beyond the framework of our world. In mastering the basics of astronomy at the initial level of play, and the education of patriotism and pride for their people from small Russians.
