Where to start celebrating the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity in kindergarten?
A holiday is not only fun, but also an educational process.
It is in kindergarten that children receive basic knowledge about family values, love, kindness and justice. Through games, competitions, and songs, children are instilled with love for their family - parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents. It is best to start a holiday in a preschool institution with the history of the holiday, which can be structured as a story for children about Peter and Fevronia of Murom - saints who are the patrons of marriage and marital love.

Introduction
Family has been the most important human value for centuries. In the traditions of different cultures, the family takes first place, it has always been customary to be proud of it, and people rely on the family in difficult moments of life.
A family is people who live together and take care of each other.
According to the classic definition of one of the leading English sociologists, Anthony Giddens, a family is understood as “a group of people connected by direct family relationships, the adult members of which assume responsibility for caring for children.”
In Russian, the word family comes from the Slavic Šeima, which is of Indo-European origin. The word “family” is based on the same root “zem” as in the word “Earth,” which indicates the territorial community of residence of family members.
Currently, the family is the basic unit of society. It is the family that gives its child an initial idea of the world, educates him, and strives to ensure that the children in the family grow up as worthy citizens of society. May 15 is International Day of Families, established by the UN General Assembly in 1993. The establishment of this day is intended to draw the attention of the public in different countries to the numerous problems of the family. In Russia and throughout the country, it has been celebrated since 1994, and has become widely known. Therefore, the topic I have chosen is considered relevant.
From the history of family creation
Scientists have given an explanation of how the family appeared in ancient times. They believe that it was created by male breadwinners with their faithful companions. The history of the family began at a certain stage of development. Ancient women understood that relationships with someone who was able to provide food not only for themselves, but also for their chosen one, were much more comfortable. This is how families began to be created.
The meaning of the word "family"
In Sergei Ivanovich Ozhegov’s dictionary, family is:
- this is a group of close relatives living together;
- a union of people united by common interests.
In the dictionary of Dmitry Nikolaevich Ushakov, family is:
- a group of people consisting of parents, children, grandchildren and immediate family members living together. So, a family is people who live together and take care of each other. Previously, families were always large (more than 10 people). And now there are families, both large and small.
According to V. Dahl’s dictionary, family is:
- it is a collection of close relatives living together; parents with children. A married son or married daughter living separately constitutes a different family.
- these are not just relatives living nearby. These are close people who are united by feelings, interests, ideals, and attitudes to life.
The importance of family in life
Family is the most precious thing we have. These are our mom and dad, sisters and brothers, grandparents - the people closest to us who love us, care about us, do everything to make our lives happy.
The family is the most necessary unit of society. What do we owe to family? Well, of course, because we were born. Mom and dad fell in love and started a family. This means that the main purpose of the family is for new people to appear and the human race not to disappear.
When a child is born in a family, it is a great joy and a great responsibility. His parents teach him to walk, talk, play with him, take him for walks, introduce him to the world around him. During school years, the family helps the child study. Parents and other adult family members introduce the rules of behavior in society and moral standards. They teach him to be honest, fair, respect elders, love his homeland and much more. Therefore, a family is also needed to help a child become a worthy person and citizen of his country.
But a family will not be able to give their child a full education if they do not have what they need for a normal life. Therefore, adult family members work. This means that the family is also the labor unit of society.
And of course, the family is always considered the guardian of the home and a healthy lifestyle. In the circle of family we find the warmth, sympathy, and understanding that we need. We owe this all to our family.
Proverbs about family
- Happy is he who is at home;
- The whole family is together, and the soul is in place;
- There is no need for a treasure if there is harmony in the family;
- A family that agrees and does not take grief
- Family traditions
Traditions
- this is not only what distinguishes one nation from another, but also what can unite a wide variety of people.
Family traditions of the Russian people
- the most interesting part of the history and culture of the Russian state, which introduces us to the experience of our ancestors.
Family traditions in Russia have never managed without the science of genealogy: it was a shame not to know the pedigree, and the most offensive nickname was considered “Ivan, who does not remember kinship.”
Drawing up a detailed pedigree, your family tree, was an integral part of the traditions of every family.
A long-standing Russian tradition can also be called the transfer of things that belonged to distant (and not so distant) ancestors to their descendants. For example, a great-grandmother's box or a great-grandfather's watch are family heirlooms that are stored for many years in a secluded corner of the house.
And of course, family holidays are our favorite, since the traditions of the ancient Russian feast are still strong in us.

Thus, all the goals of my project were achieved and all tasks were completed.
Ideas for celebrating Family Day, love and fidelity in kindergarten
The symbol of the holiday is chamomile. This image gives a huge scope for creativity:
- the host at the holiday can be a methodologist or a girl in a daisy costume;
- It’s easy to decorate a hall, foyer, or even an area for an outdoor party with daisies;
- The children can be instructed to make crafts in the form of daisies using different techniques, postcards for all family members, emblems for a family team if a game is planned with the participation of family teams;
- As homework, families participating in the competition can be asked to prepare a dish and decorate it in the shape of a chamomile;
- On the petals you can write competition tasks for families or the names of gifts.
You can also celebrate the awarding of competition winners using this symbol: make a large daisy out of cardboard, and write on the petals the name of the souvenir that the family team won.
In addition to daisies, birds (pigeons) and balls, photographs provided by the children's families can be used in the design of the hall or playground. This could be a “Family Portrait” exhibition or wall newspapers prepared by each family. It is advisable to arrange an exhibition of children's drawings dedicated to relatives or family.
Events on the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity in kindergarten
Songs dedicated to family, mother, father, grandmother would be quite appropriate, as would dances in folk style. It is necessary to ensure that the family holiday does not turn into a rehash of March 8: no matter how important a mother is in a child’s life, a mother is still not a family! If a song is performed about mom, then something (a dance, for example) needs to be dedicated to dads, etc. But it is still advisable to focus on the family as a whole. In songs and dances you can play with the symbol of the holiday - the daisy.
It would be appropriate to hold family competitions and award each family in some category: “The most friendly family”, “The most creative...”, “The most cheerful...”, “The most cheerful...”, “The most mischievous...”, etc.
In the junior and middle groups, children cannot yet comprehend the essence of the holiday in full, so you should simply invite them to talk about their relatives, learn a song, make a daisy from blanks and decorate their apartment for the holiday. And in the senior and preparatory groups you can already talk about Peter and Fevronia and hold games, competitions, prepare interesting crafts and performances. Read more about the holiday scenario for Day of Family, Love and Fidelity in kindergarten.
As a creative task, you can instruct kindergarteners to read excerpts from the Tale of Peter and Fevronia of Murom or the poem “In Rus' there is a tale about...”, ask riddles or recite poems about the symbol of the holiday - the daisy, for example:
- Chamomile Paradise (“Chamomiles bloomed on the field, many, many beautiful flowers...”);
- Little sun (“Little sun on my palm, white daisy on a green leg...”).
A useful event would be a presentation of the family tree. During its preparation, children will learn about who their great-grandparents were and will clearly see how big their family is. Instead of a family tree, you can create a wall newspaper or a “Our Family” booklet.
On this day, you can tell children about family traditions and their role in the life of every family. An interesting and exciting presentation will be the presentation of the surname (what it means, where it came from, etc.), which each child will prepare and show at the holiday together with his family.
