The other day I noticed that our girls began to treat dolls, hares and bears. They come to eat with their “patients” and seat them on a chair next to them to observe how they feel at this time. They feed sick dolls from a spoon and carefully wrap them in toy blankets. Then they go to the room and carefully care for the sick. After watching these games, I decided that the little ones clearly do not have enough doctor's tools and other medical “bells and whistles”. To begin with, we purchased a toy set “Doctor”, and then ... my mother's fantasy sold out!

For three days my daughters watched my serious preparations, asked questions and clapped their hands. And finally, they were awarded a big doctorate. It contains medical instruments, medicine boxes, prescription forms, badges with their names and many interesting and useful things. In addition, the surrounding play space turned into a doctor's office for them.

When I conceived the play set “Doctor”, I really wanted it to come out:

  1. Interesting and captivating so that you want to play with him again and again.
  2. informative so that, thanks to him, girls learn a little more about the profession of a doctor and the structure of the human body.
  3. Educational so that the icons and labels match and are large enough to read. And let the girls still do not know how to read, but they know and recognize the letters. This way of presenting words stimulates reading, arouses interest in words and trains photographic memory.
  4. compact, because we don't have much space to store it.
  5. durable. It is difficult to complete this item with paper, but it is possible :) To do this, you need to: print the set on thick landscape paper or whatman paper, stick the boxes and some other printouts on cardboard, cover the finished boxes and some other printouts with tape.

And now the kit is ready and it seems to me that it fully meets all the above points.

And now I’ll tell you in order what lies in the doctor’s box:

Medications

Blisters, an ordinary medical syringe, a syringe from an antipyretic, a pipette (it was not included in the frame), a measuring spoon.

Paper boxes with medicines (we have them empty inside and taped on all sides for durability): vitamins, herbal tea, cold medicine, headache medicine, eye drops, heart medicine, foot ointment.

Bottles and jars of medicines (some are empty, and some have buttons, glass beads and hama beads - beads for melting).

Materials for the treatment of wounds and injuries

Band-aid in coils, plaster (printout), bandage, elastic bandage, dry wipes, wet wipes, a jar of cotton swabs, rubber gloves, protective masks, scissors.

Instruments

A phonendoscope (a tool for listening to the heart and lungs), 2 digital thermometers (plastic and printed), a hammer for neurological examination, an otoscope (for examining the auricle), a bottle and a syringe (these are not tools, of course, they just hit the frame well :)

Medical documentation

Questionnaire for examining a patient (it is convenient to use it together with a writing tablet and a transparent film, and write on top with a whiteboard marker. With each new patient, records can be wiped and rewritten: beautiful, convenient and paper saving), prescription forms, cards with some human organs, a doctor's badge, a cardiogram tape, x-rays, medication instructions.

On the walls of the office

Cabinet door signboard, human structure posters, vision screening posters for children and adults.

Doctor Attributes

Name badge, medical headband.

How to play doctor?

To begin with, prepare all the items that you have in mind, and do not give the child in parts. It is more interesting to become a doctor right away, and not a little bit. Cut, fold, cover the necessary parts with adhesive tape, thread the rubber bands through the bandages, attach jars, glue crosses to them on adhesive tape, etc.

Choose a good time when the child can play doctor without rushing anywhere.

Give him a box and be sure to tell-show what is in it, how to use each of the items.

Play doctor together for a while to show how the doctor sees the patient, examines and treats him.

Then leave the child to come up with their own game. It's great if there is an opportunity to organize a game for several children. It is always more interesting, exciting and informative! In continuation of the topic, you can spend an exciting.

P.S. If you liked our play set “Doctor”, tell your friends about it in social networks . Perhaps they will also want to play doctors with their children, because such games help children stop being afraid of doctors.

If you would like to receive regular interesting ideas and materials for activities and games with children,

We wish you and your children good health!

3rd child:

New Year's carnival
Hiding faces with masks
And in masquerade costumes
Danced all evening!

The host tells the story of the carnival: « Carnival as a kind of folk festival with street processions and theatrical games lives in many countries. The main attributes of any carnival are costumes and masks that help hide social differences and equalize everyone for the duration of the festival. In Russia, dressing up and having fun in masks was allowed only on Christmas and Maslenitsa. The initiator of masquerades in Russia was Peter I - a passionate lover of dressing up. In 1721, a magnificent street costume procession was arranged. You can not only buy a mask in a store, but also make it yourself from the most different materials: paper, leather, fabric, papier-mâché. Adults and children are looking at samples of masks. We invite you to make a mask today. Try to create your own masterpiece. And let the flight of your creative imagination help you.

The facilitator explains the mask manufacturing technology:

Step 1. We draw the contours of the mask on cardboard. Or outline the mask template. Cut out.

Step 2 We mark the holes for the eyes, cut them out.

Step 3 We decorate the base of the mask with decorative material.

Step 4 We attach an elastic band or ribbon to the carnival mask.

The host of the master class reminds children and adults of safety rules when working with scissors:

  1. Blades of scissors in non-working condition must be closed (closed).
  2. Pass the scissors with the rings forward with closed (closed) blades.
  3. Scissors must be used carefully, they must not be waved so as not to injure a neighbor.

2. The main part of the master class. Practical work for the manufacture of the New Year's mask. Product design. The hardest part is over and our masks are almost ready. Let's leave the masks, let them dry a little.

The host conducts a physical education session for children.

Here in the cold winter
The wind blows icy
(Children wave their hands, imitating the wind)
And he lifts up a cloud of snow.
He is tough and powerful.
(Children perform circular movements with their hands like a winter whirlwind)
Hares hide in the bushes.
Even the cunning fox
(Children sit in a deep squat for a few seconds, then stand up. As if they are bunnies that are hiding from a fox)
She crouched and sits
Well, the snow is flying, flying.
(Children perform hand movements, showing snow falling)
But the evil blizzard subsided,
The sun is shining in the sky.
(Stretching - arms to the sides.)
A fox gallops across the field.
(Jumping.)
Well, we'll walk a little
(Walking.)
And we will return home.
(The children sit at the tables.)

And now the most interesting thing is that we will start decorating our carnival masks. There are many ways to decorate masks - it all depends on your imagination and sleight of hand, the most popular way to decorate a mask is to stick various accessories. As decorations, you can use everything that lies in front of you on the tables.

3. The final part of the creative workshop:

  • Collective analysis of creative works
  • Workplace cleaning.

The host thanks the children and adults. Useful advice: it will be good at the end of the master class to arrange a real carnival with New Year's music, play together, dance.

Master class 4: papier-mâché carnival mask

Another traditional mask-making technique available to children ages 6 and up is the papier-mâché technique. In this technique, you can fashion a mask of any, the most bizarre shape. How to make a papier-mâché mask from a regular roll... toilet paper You will learn from this step by step video. Kids can also be involved in the manufacture of papier-mâché. Of course, it will still be difficult for them to sculpt a mask, but they will be happy to paint it with acrylic paints.

An example of a papier-mâché children's carnival mask

Here is a mask made from paper using the papier-mâché technique by Daria Kholina (6 years old). Educator - Rim Elena Anatolyevna (MBDOU "Kindergarten combined type No. 75 "Fairy Tale" Moscow region, Sergiev Posad district, Shemetovo village, New district).

How to make such a mask:

Step 1. Make a cast of plasticine - the basis for making the mask. You need to complete the shape of the mask that you want to make. In this case, special attention should be paid to the cast of the nose and eyes. it is very important.

Step 2 Layer by layer, we lay pieces of paper (toilet paper) on the base with PVA glue. There should be 5-6 such layers (for the strength of the product).

Step 3 After 2-3 days, after the mask dries, we give it the desired color, decorate and thread the elastic to fit the head. This is what happened to six-year-old Dasha.

Master class 5. A simple paper carnival mask

It is not necessary to make a complex mask at all. The simplest paper mask can be made very simply and quickly, and even kids can make it.

Here are examples of such masks.

Mask example #1

The mask is ready!

Tip 1. Such masks can also be made based on a ready-made template. In this case, the mask image is printed on the printer and cut out with scissors. It is glued onto thick cardboard. On the sides of the mask, holes for the elastic are made with a hole punch. An elastic band is inserted into the mask according to the size of the child's head.

Tip 2. Details can be sewn to the mask. In this case, a detail is cut out for the wrong side of the mask, which exactly follows the contour of the mask in shape. The seams are hidden under this detail.

Tip 3. Any mask can be colored. It is better to paint the masks with acrylic paints, because. they are durable and do not get dirty in the future. The mask can be stored and used in subsequent years.

You will find more ideas for making carnival costumes for children with your own hands in the section .

The world of childhood is like a mysterious and wonderful island. It is inhabited by characters of fairy tales, heroes of films. Favorite characters become role models. With pleasure, reincarnating into a favorite image, the baby voluntarily accepts and appropriates the features characteristic of the image.

Thanks to the game, children take with them adulthood wonderful properties of their games - disinterestedness and camaraderie, kindness and courage, daydreaming and creativity, humor and good nature, faith and fidelity, truth and honor.

In the practice of education, theatrical games have acquired great importance. A creator by nature, an active being from birth, a child, playing, masters the world, models relationships, trying himself in various roles. Game activity serves as a basis for him to participate in other activities: educational, labor.

Theatrical game involves the creation of an imaginary situation. For a child entering the game, external signs are extremely important, helping to imagine oneself as one or another hero, to enter the image and stay in it for some time. Masks can act as such signs expressively and unambiguously characterizing a certain image. That's why huge role in preparation for theatrical games, visual activity and manual labor are acquired, during which children make masks.

Masks, good and evil, funny and sad, comic and tragic - all this richest visual material is necessary for a child's soul. We have no right to reject this art, because it constantly attracts children to itself, causing aesthetic interest. The mask is an extremely generalized, allegorical image. The image-mask reveals the essence of the character. How often, unfortunately, the perception of children is limited to external form masks. It is necessary to expand the horizons of their ideas about the mask, to kindle their interest. Masks must be considered as an element of the game (theatrical, mobile, etc.), its integral attribute. This is a lively, fascinating material that will help children to rethink the art of the mask, to better understand its meaning, the closest connection with the artistic and figurative form.

The mask will help to make the images of the heroes brighter, to better understand the content of the game, to navigate in its development. "Trying on" various masks, roles has a very beneficial effect on the child's psyche: it contributes to the development of the image of the ideal and real "I", the knowledge of the potential of one's own personality, and helps to establish contact with others. Attributes (elements of costumes, masks, decorations) will help the child immerse himself in fairy world, it is better to feel your characters, to convey their character. It creates a certain mood, prepares little artists to perceive and convey the changes that occur in the course of the plot, contributes to the knowledge of the potential of their own personality, and helps to establish contact with others.

Putting on a mask and turning into a cunning fox, a bunny, a mouse or a bear, the child seems to pass through himself the actions and actions of these characters. Somewhere in the subconscious, he feels the position of the author and, through its prism, gives his own assessment of the actions of these characters, thus assimilating both the norms of public morality and the aesthetic, figurative nature of art.

Of particular relevance is the process of making masks and the participation of children in theatrical games in connection with the upcoming holidays. And every time you have to think about how to make a mask, how to create a festive mood for a child. By the way, the last one is the most important! What is the use of a costume, a mask, if it cost the child tears and spoiled the holiday?!

About a month before the holiday, invite the children to open a creative workshop. Collect various items in a box (folder): simple and corrugated cardboard, crepe and ordinary thick paper, foil, colored shreds, pieces of foam rubber, threads, braid, rope, beads, Christmas tree tinsel, as well as natural material in the form of cones, leaves, acorns etc. Make sure all items look good. Constantly replenish the box with new materials. Consider all these "treasures" with your child. Determine what kind of mask you will make, what materials will be needed for this. Prepare scissors, glue, needles and threads, a ruler, etc. for work. Make the base of the mask. Help your child decorate it however they want using the material provided in the box. Encourage children's creativity!

In hand young artists paper, cardboard, fabrics, natural material, everything that can be used to make a mask will come to life. The search for art forms will not be in isolation from the content. Children in their own way will transform the perceived image, they will think a lot in it. As a result, you will be able to see the successful creative embodiment of the ideas of young artists.

Making masks for the theater is an interesting and useful activity that broadens one's horizons, develops fine motor skills, imagination, fantasy, creative thinking. Experimenting with bright, expressive materials forms an artistic taste, enriches knowledge about color, shape and texture. A self-made unique mask will please the child, create a positive emotional mood, and cause a desire to talk about the intended image.

Theoretical aspects of creating masks in kindergarten

A child is a hundred masks, a hundred roles of a capable actor, and we must give him the opportunity to play these hundred roles on the wonderful stage of childhood.

Janusz Korczak

Mask (translated from Arabic- jester) - an overlay on the face with cutouts for the eyes, nose and mouth, worn for the purpose of role-playing, preserving one's incognito or as a talisman. Kids really like to imagine themselves in the role of any animal, and at children's holidays you can see a parade of bunnies, chanterelles, bears, squirrels, frogs, funny dinosaurs.

The goals of learning to create masks for the theater in a preschool educational institution:

  • to cultivate love and sincere interest in theatrical art and creativity;
  • develop the culture and technique of speech, imagination, artistic taste, creative thinking, artistic abilities;
  • promote the development of psychomotor skills;
  • help the child to be liberated, to help overcome fears, shyness, emotional tension and stiffness (mask therapy).

Mask therapy allows the child to get used to the image of the character and learn new behaviors.

Tasks

In the course of teaching children how to make masks, the teacher solves a number of tasks:

  • to acquaint with a variety of materials and devices for the manufacture of masks;
  • to master the rules of safety and personal hygiene when working with hand tools, to cultivate a culture of work and skills of accuracy;
  • study the history of the theatrical mask;
  • learn to identify the types and nature of masks:
    • theatrical;
    • carnival;
    • ritual;
    • game;
    • protective or medical;
    • mask of laughter and sadness;
  • to acquaint with the traditions of the holidays, during which rituals of dressing up and putting on masks were used (Venetian carnival, Christmas, Maslenitsa, folk games and fun);
  • teach children to create masks in various techniques:
    • papier mache;
    • construction from waste material (foam rubber, disposable plates);
    • collage (mixed media using drawing, appliqué and additional decorative materials);
    • paper construction, including origami, with elements of drawing, appliqué, plasticineography, non-traditional drawing and appliqué techniques;
  • learn to actively use masks in theatrical activities;
  • to learn to select a work corresponding to the masks for theatrical improvisation.

The participation of children in theatrical celebrations develops the culture and technique of speech, creative thinking, and artistic abilities.

Types of masks

Masks can be very diverse:

  • hat mask (any knitted, knitted hat or paper frame can become the basis);

    The advantage of cap masks is that any finished product is suitable for their base.

  • volumetric mask, half mask made of papier-mâché, foam rubber or paper, made according to a special pattern;

    Volumetric animal masks made of foam rubber look very impressive

  • flat mask of any shape (round, triangular, arbitrary);

    Flat mask on a stick fits any child

  • a flat mask on a rim or hoop;

    Headband masks are easy to make and easy to put on and take off

  • half mask in uniform original glasses.

    Carnival half mask in the form of original glasses will decorate any costume

Purposes of using masks in preschool

Masks in kindergarten are used:

  • as an attribute of theatrical activity, part of the costume:
    • staging mini-dialogues, poems, stories, fairy tales, nursery rhymes and ditties;
    • playing performances;

  • as an original material for holding contests, exhibitions of joint creativity, presentations (“Do-it-yourself carnival masks”);
  • as a decorative decoration of the room, for example, as exhibits of the mini mask museum in the theater corner.

The exhibits of the mini-museum of the mask will decorate any theater corner

The best option for the form of working with masks in a preschool educational institution is a group one, taking into account the individual characteristics of children. For example, pupils with developed manual skills can be offered a more complex and creative work for the manufacture and decoration of the base of the mask additional materials or with the help of non-traditional drawing techniques, applique (beads, cotton wool, fabric, decorative pattern, plasticineography, quilling, thread printing, batik, etc.).

Making cardboard masks with cotton can be done even by pupils of the younger group

In the process of making a mask, it is necessary to introduce children to some mandatory requirements:

  • compliance of the mask with the shape and size of the head - the headband or cap should “sit” tightly, but not squeeze the head;
  • environmental friendliness of the theatrical attribute - the safety of materials and decorative elements.

Table: ideas for conducting the motivational part of the lesson

"History of the Venetian mask" (informative story in the preparatory group)
  • The masks that saved from the plague (“Doctor Plague”) are the prototype of the medical mask. When in the old Italian city a deadly plague epidemic was raging, doctors visited their patients wearing long dark cloaks and bizarre masks in the shape of an elongated bird's beak. The image turned out to be rather ominous, but they believed that a few drops of aromatic substances that were splashed into the long nose of the mask would save them from contracting a dangerous disease.
  • Carnival of masks (Harlequin, Pierrot, Colombino). The ancient Greek and Roman traditions of theatrical performances and celebrations in honor of the gods were reborn on the stage of Venice. A bewitching dance extravaganza in the squares in mysterious masks and luxurious, brilliant dresses, embroidered with gold and silver, brought carefree fun and bright revival to the rainy and foggy Venetian winter, was a celebration of life, a symbol of victory over death, gave hope for a speedy return solar heat and light. Venice Carnival - the most beloved and oldest holiday Italy, which annually attracts thousands of onlookers and participants from all over the world.
"Journey to the distant past" (informative story about the history of the origin of the ritual mask in the senior group) Educator: Guys, I invite you to make an exciting journey with me into the world of myths, legends and fairy tales of our ancestors. Close your eyes and mentally transport yourself to the distant past, imagine that you are on the shore of a forest lake, in front of you is an ancient settlement surrounded by centuries-old, mighty trees. Our ancestors deified nature and worshiped the sun and moon, fast wind and life-giving rain, swift river and calm lake, numerous animals and plants. They believed that the natural world was inhabited by spirits, good forest men lived in trees, and in underwater world mermaids live. A clearing in a dense forest, a mysterious cave could become a venue for sacred rituals and appeasing the gods and spirits with gifts so that they would send good luck, bestow health and prosperity. In such special places it was forbidden to talk loudly, litter, swear, cut down trees. The main person who communicated with the world of spirits was considered a shaman. At the moment of contact with the spirits, the face of the shaman must be covered, and for this, masks were invented.
"Good Shaman" musical game. In the center of the circle is the leader, who plays the role of a shaman. He beats the tambourine, then approaches any player and passes to him musical instrument. The one who received the tambourine must reproduce the rhythmic pattern played by the "shaman". If the player makes a mistake, he leaves the game.
"Ritual mask in Russia" (informative story in the senior group) From time immemorial, a favorite folk entertainment has been dressing up in costumes of animals and caroling around the city or village. The most popular characters were the bear and the goat. Our ancestors believed that the appearance of a goat on the threshold of a house on Christmas Eve would certainly bring a rich harvest, happiness and health, and ward off evil forces. The mummers were hospitably greeted in every house, a cheerful company defiantly sang carols, begging the owner for a generous treat.
"Thumbelina" (problem situation) The group includes a girl dressed as a fairy-tale heroine, and weeps bitterly. The teacher is interested in what upset the cute girl so much. Thumbelina told her sad story about having to marry a hated mole. If this happens, then she will spend her whole life in a dark and gloomy hole, she will never see a clear sun, she will not rejoice at the blue sky, she will not hear the sonorous singing of birds, she will not feel the aroma of flowering trees. The teacher invites all children to think, be smart and figure out how to save Thumbelina. Then he carefully listens to all ideas and thoughts and stops at a witty proposal to disguise the heroine, help her change beyond recognition, reincarnate, hide behind a mask. To get into a magical dimension, children need to turn into fairy-tale heroes, for which it is necessary to make masks.
"Journey to the planet" Kind "(game situation) In the morning, a cheerful wind knocked on the window and handed over an important letter, which contained a request for help. We are talking about the inhabitants of the distant planet "Good-natured", with whom trouble happened. An evil sorceress descended on them, her charms made the faces of all the good ones the same. In the letter, the children find a cut photograph, folding which they will see what kind of faces all the good people now have. The educator asks to determine the emotional state of the man depicted in the photograph (indifferent), then suggests thinking about how you can cast a spell on the inhabitants of the “Good-natured” planet. Children decide to make masks with different emotions (joy, sadness, surprise, delight, etc.). They will create masks with the help of pencils and paints.

Funny masks made from disposable plates, created according to the idea of ​​children, will be a great decoration for the group

Introduction Maryushka comes to visit the children in a Russian folk sundress and kokoshnik.
  • Let the carols ring around
    They bring joy to your home.
    Bring health and success
    Fun, joy and fun.

Maryushka tells the children that first we met the New Year, Christmas, then Christmas time came. They are celebrated for 2 weeks from January 7 to 19. This is a bright, joyful holiday associated with the birth and baptism of Jesus Christ. These days people congratulated each other, prepared treats and visited each other. But it was forbidden to sew, knit, spin, weave baskets and bast shoes, because these days were considered holy. During Christmas time people played different games.
Maryushka leads a goat on a string (a child in a mask).

  • We do not go ourselves, we lead a goat.
    And, well, people, make way, give us a move.

The game-dance "Goat" is held.

  • A goat is walking through the forest, through the forest, through the forest
    Look for a princess, princess, princess.
    Come on, goat, let's jump,
    And kicking our legs
    Let's clap our hands
    Let's stomp our feet.

Another Christmas custom is to gather with the whole family in the evenings, invite guests, tell tales and make riddles.
Maryushka invites the children to make riddles to each other.

  • He entered - no one saw,
    He said no one heard
    He blew on the windows and disappeared
    And a forest grew on the windows. (Freezing)
  • Not boots, not boots
    But they are also worn by legs.
    We run in them in winter:
    In the morning - in the kindergarten, in the evening - home. (Felt boots)
  • Pisces live warmly in winter:
    The roof is thick glass. (Ice)
  • He's busy all the time
    He cannot go in vain.
    He goes and paints white
    Everything you see along the way. (Snow)

During Christmas time, it was customary to divide into "holy evenings" and "terrible." On "holy evenings" they arranged cheerful nightly gatherings, on "terrible" fortune-telling.
Maryushka invites the children to tell fortunes, to predict fate.
"Fortune telling on beans"
Children are offered to make a wish and take some beans from the pot into the fist. Whoever has a pair, that is, an even number, that wish will come true. Whoever has an odd number will have to wait a bit.
Favorite folk entertainment is dressing up and caroling. People dressed up in various costumes and put on masks (illustration). They dressed up as animals or characters from fairy tales and went caroling around the city or village. They said, “A carol has come - open the gate”, “Open the chest - get a piglet”.
The main characters have always been a bear and a goat. They tried to dress up the biggest guys. The presence of the Goat, according to ancient beliefs, brought a good harvest, promised fertility and prosperity, and scared away evil forces. The mummers went into every hut where the light was on. They sang carols. Carols are something like Winnie the Pooh chants, in which they praised the owner of the house, begging him for treats.

  • Kolyada-Malyada,
    Kolyada was born
    Who will serve the pie -
    Therefore, the yard of the abdomen,
    And small cattle -
    You don't know the numbers!

And if the owners did not give anything, they sang a formidable carol.

  • Who will not give cakes -
    Let's close the windows.
    Who will not give a pie -
    Let's take the cow by the horns.
    Who will not give bread -
    Let's take grandpa.
    Who will not give ham -
    Thus, we will split the cast iron.

And then they had a get-together. In the evenings, the girls arranged fortune-telling, they wanted to know their fate.
Another Christmas tradition is “pampering”. Children and teenagers gathered at night and played pranks as best they could. They scattered firewood in the yard or boarded up the gate. They stole something, but always with noise. And after the holiday everything was returned.
Maryushka offers to play Russian folk game"Golden Gate".

Main part Maryushka: Guys, do you want to play the role of mummers yourself? And make yourself a goat mask?
The teacher distributes white cardboard and goat mask templates to the children. With a simple pencil, the guys circle the templates, draw eyes, a nose, highlight the horns and cut them out with scissors along the contour. Further, at the request of the children, the mask is decorated, an application is made from colored paper, foil, sequins. At the end, holes are made on the mask and elastic bands are inserted. (Together with the teacher).
So the ritual mask of the goat is ready.
Final part Children put on their masks and sing a chant:
  • Shchedrovochka was generous,
    She ran up to the window.
    What grandma baked
    Then go to the window
    Don't break, don't pinch
    And for the whole, come on!
    Good evening, generous evening!

Maryushka presents the children with treats (sweets, cookies).
