SPORTS FESTIVITY
In this activity parents' involvement in the life of the
kindergarten, their commitment to the children's festivities
is of particular importance. The activity leads to the
formation of trustful communication between parent, child
and teacher and proper interaction in the process of
communication, training, education and entertainment.
The sports festivity is a celebration for all – participants
and spectators and joy for the children who are cheerful
and happy to be together on that day with their most
important people at this stage of their development. Educational game "Fly, fly ..."
There are no more fun moments for the child than those
when the parents get involved in playing in the
kindergarten. All children and parents are around the
teacher. The teacher has to name objects and when the
subject "flies" all children and parents have to spread their
hands to the side and "fly" and when they do not fly - they
squat. Whoever fails, is out of the game. For example, it is
said: "Fly, fly ... house. Fly, fly ... airplane. " To a house,
respectively, they should squat, and on an airplane - to be
straight with waving hands. Unintentional mistakes will add
more laughter and mood. The roles are exchanged and a
child is chosen to lead. Gradually "complicate" the game.
For example, "a house does not fly" but can tell from what is
made and whether they live in a house or a block. This will
enrich the child's vocabulary.
Physical activity and sport is extremely important for
children because through sport they motivate
themselves, discipline is being built, children improve
their physical and health condition, aggression is
reduced, as the excess energy accumulated in the body
is distributed in a balanced way.
By means of sporting events, each child manifests
himself/herself – both individually and as part of a team
and together with his/her parents, thus achieving a
completion of the relationship between the parent-teacher
and the child – a synchronous whole
We communicate through playing games. The game is one
of the most effective means of keeping the relationships
fresh and exciting. By playing regularly, we learn to trust
and feel safe. If we fill our daily life with more laughter and
fun through games, we can improve our relationships with
family, friends and colleagues. Games help to regulate our
emotions. Through group play children learn how to cope
with others and how to deal with conflicts.
