Creative activities for children in honor of National Unity Day
As part of the program, the teachers conducted educational classes on the history of National Unity Day, introduced the children to the history of the holiday, telling about the events of 1612, when the people's militia led by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky liberated Moscow from the Polish invaders.
The children drew drawings, putting ideas about friendship, peace and unity into their works. The bright colors and childlike spontaneity reflected in these drawings important values that we must cherish and pass on from generation to generation.
Teardrop-shaped shields of Russian heroes were made from plasticine, symbolizing protection and strength. This creative process not only developed fine motor skills of the hands, but also allowed the children to feel like a part of a great story, to feel a connection with the heroes of the past.
We created a collective newspaper in which we reflected our knowledge about the holiday, our thoughts and feelings. The newspaper has become a kind of outcome of the events held, a symbol of common creativity and creation.
