Relevance
One of the main tasks of education that any teacher sets for himself is the socialization of pupils. This process is long, probably lasts a lifetime, but kindergarten is at its origins. It is here that children learn to make friends, play, begin to feel like members of a large children's team, and here the foundations of children's patriotic feelings are formed. The effectiveness of our children’s self-realization at school and in later life depends on how successfully the task of socialization is solved.
Introduction of new technologies for the socialization of children in preschool institutions. such technologies for the development of self-regulation of behavior in preschool children - “ Club Hour ”
.
The pedagogical technology “
Club Hour ” is that children can move around the entire kindergarten building for one hour, observing certain rules of behavior.
For the successful implementation of this technology there is a great desire and participation of the entire teaching staff in order to lay the foundations of a full-fledged socially successful personality during preschool childhood
The purpose of " Club Hour " technology
— positive socialization of the child in a preschool setting
Objectives of " Club Hour "
are:
instilling in children independence and responsibility for their actions;
spatial orientation training;
nurturing friendly relations between children of different ages, respectful attitude towards others;
promote the manifestation of initiative in caring for others, be grateful for help and signs of attention;
developing the ability to plan your actions and evaluate their results;
strengthening children’s skills to politely express their request and thank them for the service provided;
the development of children’s desires to express their attitude towards the environment, to independently find various speech means for this;
teaching children how to resolve controversial issues and resolve conflicts;
encouraging the child’s attempts to consciously share various impressions the teacher
acquiring one's own life experience (meaning formations)
experiences necessary for self-determination and self-regulation.
Types of " Club Hour "
:
"Free"
- when children move freely throughout the kindergarten
(indoors or outdoors)
and independently organize multi-age communication based on interests;
"Thematic"
- which are included in the situation of the month.
For example, in the “Space”
, this is a drawing competition on asphalt on space themes, building a spaceship,
“astronaut”
;
"Active"
- when the basis of K.Ch. is the child’s self-determination in choosing various types of activities, i.e., for example, in the gym there are outdoor games, in the music hall there is a performance, in one group they bake pies, in another they sew dresses for dolls, etc.
Conducting " Club Hour "
is preceded by a lot of preparatory work, primarily among parents and
teachers . Parents at the meeting are warned in advance that this event will be held in the preschool organization. They are informed about how this will affect children and how their safety will be ensured. Parents are given the opportunity to conduct master classes during “
Club Hour ” , as well as propose their own new topics, etc.
Educators and specialists preliminarily discuss and determine:
1. The theme of “ Club Hours ”
, K. Ch.’s long-term thematic plan for the six months.
2. Determine the frequency and duration of exercise training, usually once a week at the beginning of the program and 2-3 times a week thereafter. One of the main conditions for conducting a K.Ch. is its duration, namely at least 1 hour, because otherwise the children do not have time to develop their own life experience.
3. Determine the rules of behavior for children during “ Club Hour ”
4. Organizational aspects of conducting a competition are being developed.
5. Determine the order in which the K.Ch program begins. How many groups will participate in the first K.Ch., which groups, how to prepare children for the first K.Ch.
Determine the rules of behavior for children during “ Club Hour ”
Say "hello"
and
“goodbye”
when you enter another group.
If you took a toy to play, put it back when you leave.
Don't take toys from other children if they took it first.
Help conduct a lesson if it is suitable during the CC
Speak calmly.
Walk calmly.
Return to the group when the bell rings.
If you don’t want to go to other groups, you can stay in your group or return to it if you’re tired.
Organizational aspects of conducting a competition are being developed:
All kindergarten employees are notified of the time and day of the event. During the " Club Hour "
, the entrance doors to the garden are closed. Employees are at their workplaces and go about their daily business, waiting for the children to arrive. If possible, they communicate with the children, show them, tell them what they usually do here, and offer the children to help them. To achieve this, various activities are prepared in advance for visiting children.
Teachers determine the signal for the end of K.Ch., for example, the ringing of a bell, when the person in charge passes through all floors (groups), giving a sign to the children that it is time to return to their groups.
Determine the order in which the K.Ch program begins. How many groups will participate in the first K.Ch., which groups, how to prepare children for the first K.Ch.
Preliminary work is also carried out with children of the senior and preparatory groups:
· Firstly, a discussion is organized “What is “ Club Hour ”
, why is it needed, what will we do during the K.Ch. and who would like to go to it?”
· Secondly, we discuss what groups there are in kindergarten. Age of children in these groups and on which floor (wing)
they are.
· Thirdly, it is determined what kind of premises are available in the kindergarten. What are they called, who works there, what they do and what benefits they bring.
· Fourthly, a plan is issued (a map of what is happening where, if it is “thematic”
or
“active”
K. Ch.
Immediately before the first K.Ch., the children discuss all the rules; they are briefly repeated before each K.Ch. Then instructions are given: “Children, you can move around the entire building for one hour, observing the rules of behavior. And at the ringing of the bell you return to the group.”
After completing the K.Ch., all children participating, each in their own group, with a teacher, sit in a circle on the carpet. A candle is lit and meditative music is turned on. The discussion begins. The teacher makes sure that the children do not interrupt each other and speak in turns, patiently waiting until their turn comes.
-Where was the child?
- What did he remember?
— Does the child want to go there again and why?
— Did he plan to go somewhere before K. Ch.? Were you able to do this, if not, why?
— Did you manage to follow the rules, if not, then why?
The teacher records the problems that arise in children in the process of CC and discusses them with children and parents (at a suitable time, finding ways to solve them in joint activities.
After each K.Ch. at the pedagogical council, educators , teachers and staff exchange opinions on:
- what did the children do when they came to his territory, what was special in the children’s behavior?
- how did children who remained in their group react when guests came to them (a question for teachers,
— did the children follow the rules, and what prevented them from complying with them, were there any conflicts.
— what tasks need to be solved at the upcoming competition
Conclusion:
In general, regular C.C. once a week, already within 5 months, will allow us to record the following changes in children:
They will recognize most of the kindergarten children, begin to treat them more friendly, and begin to communicate their needs in more detail and openly not only to their teachers, but also to other kindergarten employees.
To summarize the above, it is important to note that with the help of such technologies, within the framework of socialization, the child’s idea of his immediate society is formed, that is, belonging to one or another group of people, etc.

“Technology “Club Hour” as a form of supporting children's initiatives”Modern children live and develop in modern, new socio-cultural conditions, so the education of preschool children needs to be transformed.
The direction of innovative activity related to the support of children's initiative was chosen through the use in pedagogical practice of the author's technology of Senior Researcher of the FGBUN IS RAS Natalia Petrovna Grishaeva “Club Hour” , which is part of the project “Modern technologies for the effective socialization of a child in a preschool educational organization .
“Club hour” is a pedagogical technology aimed at developing self-regulation (voluntariness) of behavior, the ability to plan activities, and evaluate results.
It is impossible to implement pedagogical technology without a clear definition of tasks.
Current problems solved by the “Club Hour” :
For children:
- develop independence and responsibility
- teach orientation in space
- cultivate friendly relations between children of different ages, respectful attitude towards others;
- develop the ability to take initiative in caring for others
- develop the ability to plan your actions and evaluate their results
- consolidate the ability to politely express your request, thank for the service rendered
- develop the desire to express one’s attitude towards the environment, independently find various speech means for this;
- develop the ability to resolve controversial issues and resolve conflicts
- encourage the child’s attempts to consciously share various impressions with the teacher and other children;
- acquire one’s own life experience (meaning formations) experiences necessary for self-determination and self-regulation.
For parents:
- attract parents to participate in the educational process in preschool educational institutions

When organizing work in this direction, we adhered to the following principles:
Activities - stimulating children to actively search for new knowledge in joint activities with adults, in games and in joint activities.
Variability - providing the child with the opportunity for optimal self-expression through the exercise of the right to choose, to independently overcome the problem
situations.
Creativity - creating situations in which a child can realize his creative potential through joint and individual activities.
The novelty of holding “Club Hour” in our educational institution:
Widely introducing children, including children with disabilities (disabilities) to a variety of social experiences, creating
platform of a style of relations of cooperation, tolerance and co-creation.
All children, including “special” , want communication and are gifted with many talents, the main thing is to reveal this talent, therefore the introduction of “Club Hour” is the right way for the social adaptation of “special” children, both parties benefit from such communication . Healthy children become more caring, kind, and attentive. And “special” children make a breakthrough in their development because they try to follow the example of healthy children - this is one of the main and integral conditions for their successful socialization.
— The “Club Hour” is carried out as an alternative form of educational activity.
“Club Hour” technology is that it is conducted by the children themselves.
Some children act as “students” , while others act as mentors. The content is determined based on the interests and skills of the students themselves.
— Analysis of children’s attendance at “Club Hours” made it possible to identify the stability of interests in any type of activity.
Preparatory work was carried out among parents and teachers and a decision was made to organize the activities of clubs. Parents were informed about how this event will be carried out and how it will affect the children, how their safety will be ensured. At the meetings, parents were introduced to the technology, selected a team (interested, enthusiastic adults!), discussed the themes of the clubs and planning (time, place, duration, frequency), conducted a trial “Club Hour” , assessed the quality of the organization and made adjustments to the plans.
The target audience:
- children of middle, senior and preparatory school groups
- preschool teachers and specialists
- preschool management
- parents of pupils
- teachers, library workers (in the future).
Types of Club Hours
Activity-based, when the “Club Hour” is based on the child’s self-determination in choosing various types of activities.
Thematic, which are included in the situation of the month.
Free, when children move freely throughout the kindergarten (indoors or outdoors) and independently organize communication of different ages based on interests.
Creative, when various creative workshops are organized for children. “Club hour” in the form of a quest, when children, individually or in teams, search according to a pattern,
some thing, object, solve some problem.
Museum “Club Hour” , when children in the “situation of the month” collect museum exhibits from themselves, and then at the end of the month they conduct excursions for other visiting children.
“Club Hour” is a great game, namely a story-driven role-playing game. For preschool children, play is of exceptional importance: play for them is study, play for them is work, play for them is a serious form of education. Structure of the game: beginning, conduct of the game, end of the game.
The “Club Hour” of the “Studio of Professions” opened its doors .
Type of conduct: activity-based.
The purpose of this event is to develop creative abilities and establish harmonious, trusting relationships between parents, children and teachers.
Three studios of the professions “Photographer” , “Mannequin” , “Nurse” . In one hour, the participants managed to visit the medical station. An experienced nurse explained the different support functions she performs.
Demonstrated first aid in practice. The children happily bandaged the hands of their mothers and fathers.
With great interest, the girls tried themselves as fashion models, demonstrating festive dresses. The fashion show ended with a photo shoot.
Parents of preschoolers provided enormous assistance in preparing and holding this event. Parents approached this topic creatively; children, teachers and guests did not get bored. Everyone had a great opportunity in the game to get acquainted with important and interesting professions; they were invited to try on this or that profession and master work activities. This event was highly appreciated by parents. The children and their parents spent time usefully in a relaxed atmosphere, received a charge of positive emotions, and learned a lot of new and interesting things.
“Christmas Gatherings” club hour has opened its doors again .
Type of event: creative.
The purpose of this event is to create conditions for the formation of a feeling of joy from participation in joint creative activities of all participants in the event with a spiritual and moral orientation, a sustainable interest in Russian folk culture in the process of becoming familiar with the calendar holiday of Christmas.
Pupils and parents took an active part in the gatherings. All participants curiously attended a master class of their choice, enthusiastically watched a musical presentation dedicated to the history of Christmas, and took part in creating Christmas gifts.
With the masters - parents, you could try to make a Christmas toy in the form of an angel, using different design methods, or make the Bethlehem eight-pointed star from paper. Parents had the opportunity to conduct master classes during the club hour.
Despite little experience in participating in the “Club Hour” , the children and parents confidently moved from workshop to workshop and entered neighborhood groups with interest. With the ringing of a bell, the children and parents, with handicrafts, returned to the general circle,
where they shared their impressions with each other, told who, where they had been and what they had done.
A “Club Hour” was held in the form of educational activities.
Type of event: thematic.
The event was held in the format of an educational event. This format was proposed by teachers, and the children of the preparatory group for school actively
supported. The presenters at the functioning stations were the pupils of the preparatory group for school. Children of the preparatory group for school themselves
organized all activities during club hour for younger children.
The theme of the club hour is “Travel to the Arctic and Antarctic - the kingdom of ice and snow”
So, at one of the stations, the guys watched the experiments and participated in them themselves. The children introduced their younger friends to the peculiarities of animal survival in the Far North.
At the second station, the guys presented presentations - reports about the Arctic and Antarctica, played Question and Answer , and learned interesting facts from the life of animals in the North.
The third station opened up the world of creativity for the children: preschoolers from the school preparatory group, working in pairs, told and showed younger preschoolers how they can step by step create an image of an animal using semolina and glue.
Upon returning to the group, we held a “Reflective Circle” , where the children shared their impressions, expressed their wishes, discussed issues of compliance with the rules of the club hour, and played 4D games.
Teachers record problems that children have during the club hour and discuss them with children and parents, finding ways to solve them through joint activities. After each Club Hour, students and staff exchange opinions, achievements, discuss difficulties that have arisen and ways to solve them.
— What did the children do when they came to his territory, what was special in their behavior?
children?
— How did the children who remained in their group react when guests came to them (a question for teachers!)?
— What tasks need to be solved at the upcoming club hour?
Conducting the “Club Hour” allowed us to observe the following changes in students:
- preschoolers recognize most kindergarten children and treat them friendly
- children communicate their needs in more detail and openly not only to their pupils, but also to other kindergarten staff
- in many children the level of aggressiveness and conflict decreases, especially during “Club Hour”
— children transfer the rules of the club to everyday life in the group and society
— forms personal qualities in preschoolers.
And as a consequence: the formation of prerequisites for educational activities, successful socialization.

Organizing an hour of creative freedom in kindergartenconsultation on the topic
Organizing and conducting an hour of creative freedom
Preschool age is a favorable period for the development of children's creative activity. Domestic scientists (A.V. Zaporozhets, T.S. Komarova, N.N. Poddyakov, etc.) distinguish two types of children's activity: the child’s own activity and activity stimulated by an adult.
The problem of developing children's activity and independence is directly related to providing freedom of choice of activities. In the conditions of humanization of the teacher - the educational process, the motives of freedom and personal independence of the child in the educational space play an increasingly significant role. Freedom must be not only external, but also internal, the boundaries of which are determined by the person himself. In this case, we are talking not just about freedom, but about freedom of choice.
As observations show, the problem of providing children with freedom of choice is not important or significant for educators. They do not fully understand the need to provide students with freedom, and if they do, they do not always clearly imagine how this should be done.
After studying psychological and pedagogical literature and methodological documents, it was concluded that in kindergarten there should be special time allocated for the free expression of creativity of pupils. Educators must create situations of free choice, which, on the one hand, allow them to identify the artistic and creative interests and abilities of children, and on the other hand, will contribute to their further development.
This is how the idea of giving preschoolers a free choice of the type of artistic activity arose. This form of organization is called the “Hour of Creative Activity”, the main objectives of which were:
— identifying the potential of each child;
— formation and development of spiritual qualities of the individual, artistic and aesthetic thinking;
— improvement of artistic and aesthetic skills, enrichment of experience in creative activity;
Development of the qualities of a creative personality: curiosity, cognitive activity, intellectual potential, desire for self-improvement.
To organize various types of artistic and creative activities that ensure the manifestation of independence, spontaneity, freedom of choice and self-determination of the child, the following special conditions were created in the preschool educational institution:
- emotionally - a favorable environment that ensures the spiritual development of each child;
— a subject-development environment that meets children’s interests, ensuring freedom of expression of children’s creativity;
— providing children with the opportunity to choose and implement types of activities and relationships in accordance with their interests;
— priority attention to aesthetic education, which influences the formation and development of artistic and creative abilities in various types of activities;
- introducing children to folk culture, familiarization with cultural values, normative personality qualities
— involving children and teachers in joint creative activities
- democratic style of communication between the teacher and children
— organizing interaction between preschool educational institutions and families to develop the creative activity of preschool children.
During the organization of an hour of creative activity, positive results were noted. Children learned to plan and anticipate the positive results of their work, and consistently implement their own plans. The expansion of the degree of freedom contributed to the development of their independence and creative abilities.
In this way, a child can be developed as an independent person who can choose an activity to his liking and bear responsibility for his choice, filling his free time with useful and interesting activities.
