When the holidays begin, it doesn’t matter whether it’s winter or summer, schoolchildren have a lot of free time, most of which they spend in front of the computer and TV. And it may not be so easy to tear your child away from the screen and monitor. What activities can be offered to schoolchildren to keep them interested, instead of electronic entertainment? There are quite a lot of them.
Among the cultural and entertainment events during the holidays, many can be organized by yourself, adding a little imagination.
A trip to the city zoo is an interesting event for younger schoolchildren, especially if the zoo hosts various holidays or celebrates animal birthdays. You can give a treat to the next birthday person every time as a gift.
Gather bored kids and play the most popular games from the childhood of parents and grandmothers: rubber band, bouncer, elephant, chains, edible-inedible and others.
To keep the kids from getting bored, parents can arrange the following activities during the holidays. You can invite your child’s friends to visit, together with their parents. Then you can arrange a family football match, as well as a darts battle or sack jumping.
A child’s participation in any group and games with peers will help develop communication skills, find common interests, and find best friends.
And if teachers come to an agreement with the management of various enterprises and take the children there, the children will be very happy about this. Such events could be trips to a confectionery factory, ice cream production, a Christmas tree decorations factory, a bakery and many others. Children will see with their own eyes how a freshly baked bun is born, the flow of caramel or chocolate mass, and how deftly the machines and professionals operate in such factories. And glassblowers, together with artists, will amaze children with their skill and creativity, making Christmas tree decorations.
A child can be sent to a camp where he definitely won’t be bored among his peers, and parents won’t have to worry about his leisure time. School day camps often fill up during the summer. Carefully thought out cultural and entertainment events, trips, thematic scenarios for personal and creative development for every child, active and intellectual games - all this will help to spend time both usefully and fun.
In addition to school ones, there are now a lot of other thematic camps, from sports to language ones. Children not only relax in them comfortable conditions, strengthen physically, but also study foreign languages, learn to be successful and sociable, learn a lot of new and interesting things. Entire event scenarios for schoolchildren are being developed of different ages. Many guys remain friends after the camp, communicate with each other and strive to return to their favorite places next summer.
Among school events, spending such a week or even one day will be very interesting. The idea of the event is that during this week or several days some lessons at school will be taught famous people, masters of their craft, bright professionals. You can invite a famous athlete or coach to a physical education lesson, a real guide will teach you a history lesson, a real practicing physicist will tell you about physical phenomena, and a chemist will show you the most interesting experiments.
The pastry chef will teach the girls how to decorate cakes, and an experienced carpenter will give the boys a master class on creating miracles from wood. You can invite employees from the most interesting professions. Such lessons will be remembered by everyone without exception, and perhaps will influence the choice of a future profession.
Great idea for graduating class. High school students should compose a creative letter with predictions and wishes for the future, which they then leave at school or seal and hide until specific date after 5-10-20 years. The letter is created in the form of a collage, newspaper, and decorated with photographs and drawings. The main thing is to capture on it the entire composition of the class with its characteristics, wishes and dreams. It is interesting to read such a letter at an anniversary meeting and compare real successes with planned ones. This will be a great motivation for each participant.
The most useful and noble of activities for schoolchildren. One spring day, high school students, together with the forestry department, plant the alley of their passing childhood and give it a name that reflects the character of the class. In the future, you can bring your children and even grandchildren to such an alley.
School years are a wonderful time between kindergarten and student years. Schoolchildren can no longer be amazed and amused like naive kids; they can only be slightly pranked. And since they are cheerful people and are not averse to playing pranks on friends and teachers, you can more often organize such entertaining school events as KVN, fun festivals, all kinds of competitions and quizzes. For example, April Fool's Day on April 1 can be held according to a certain scenario.
The whole school is preparing in advance for the event, so that on April 1 it will be possible to determine the winners in the competition for the funniest collage, decorate the corridors with funny posters, comic arrows and cartoons, and give funny names to all school classes and rooms.
On front door schools, you can stick a notice “Do not enter without a smile”, call the dressing room “ lost World”, the director’s office is the “Panic Room”, and the head teacher’s office is the “Debriefing Room”. The teacher's room should be renamed "Terrarium of Like-Minded People", the chemistry room - "Drug Laboratory", the geography room - "Travel Agency", and at the first aid station write - "Whoever did not escape, we will cure him." The gym can be renamed "Eatery". At the entrance to the dining room write “Refueling Hall”.
The school assembly should also be special on this day. Each class will be tasked with lining up on a line according to special rules:
The team that completes this task faster will receive a reward.
You can come up with a lot of pranks, competitions, humor, and quizzes on April Fool's Day. At the end of the festival, the winning class is awarded the Young Comedian Challenge Cup, and the best participants are awarded tickets to a comedy film or comedy show. One condition - jokes should not be offensive, cheerful and funny.
Surely each of your classmates has videos or photos of interesting events from school life, and for graduation you can make a film from them about the whole class and about each individual. From collected material You can edit a video about everyone growing up and growing up. This requires time and a creative, collaborative approach; the film can be voiced and told about each of your classmates. The work is not easy, but the result will exceed all expectations and will be of interest to everyone - teachers, parents, and, of course, the mature students themselves.
When the dusty city causes irritation, and the soul yearns for unknown paths, high school students get ready to go hiking. These are unforgettable events for schoolchildren and not only. Whether it’s a 10-day route through the endless Carpathians or a weekend run through a nearby forest, a hike always leaves the best memories in your memory if you’re properly prepared for it. Merging with nature, learning about the world, broadening one’s horizons, developing endurance, mutual assistance, independence - the advantages of tourism can hardly be overestimated. Often teachers themselves organize school events that children simply adore. When going on a hike with classmates or friends, you should consider the main factors in preparing for an encounter with nature:
When going on a hike, you should not forget about a first aid kit with the most necessary medications, such as iodine and brilliant green, ammonia, potassium permanganate, rubber tourniquet, sterile bandages and cotton wool, antipyretic, validol, nitroglycerin, painkillers, medications for upset stomach and cramps.
When preparing for school events, you should remember that for any of them there must be a interesting scenario. Nowadays, school parties have become very popular, the scenarios of which are based on interesting stories from favorite TV shows, films and cartoons, where well-known characters are involved. You need to organize fun events, come up with holidays that are not on the calendar, organize flash mobs and many other dance competitions with different styles dance.
KVN is a fun, exciting game that is quite suitable for schoolchildren. Who else but schoolchildren notices all the interesting events of school life? Only they, with their irrepressible imagination, will notice the funniest facts happening around them. KVN is more of a way of life, and if schoolchildren start playing it, they should feel like the most fun and resourceful.
Quest is one of the interesting activities during the holidays, it is team game, in which the guys are the main characters of an exciting plot and they have to get out of a confined space, solving puzzles, showing attentiveness and ingenuity.
There are a lot of events for schoolchildren, it’s impossible to list them all, the main condition is that the children should be interested, because each of them is an individual, albeit a growing one. Mobile, active or desktop intellectual - all these entertainments will not only brighten up your leisure time and keep you from getting bored, but will also help you acquire new skills that will be useful in adult life. The main thing is not to let your mind and body get lazy and continue to improve in the future, after leaving school.
An open extracurricular event is a form of demonstration of advanced pedagogical developments, a way to implement them in practice and improve the qualifications of teachers. The most important condition conducting open lessons - publicity through which the above goals are achieved.
Features extracurricular activities is their unusualness, so to speak, the unconventional choice of types and forms of implementation, which helps to awaken children’s interest in the learning process, motivating them to independently learn a specific subject.
The main types of extracurricular activities can be considered educational, leisure and sports.
Educational extracurricular activities are aimed at enhancing the cognitive activity of schoolchildren, deepening their knowledge, broadening their horizons, and developing the civic position of students.
Leisure activities make it possible to specify the interests of students aimed at acquiring certain skills and abilities, and to diversify school life with entertaining moments.
Sports and recreational activities ensure the physical development of schoolchildren and help improve and maintain their health.
In our proposed classification of types of extracurricular activities, the emphasis is on the purpose of the event. It is this aspect that determines the choice of the form of conduct.
Each type of extracurricular activities has its own methods of implementation. Of course, the list is not static and limited: the objects in it can vary, intersect, and be combined.
Educational extracurricular activities can take the following forms: conversation, discussion, meeting with interesting people, quiz, theater, training, conference, Olympiad, review, competition, excursion.
Leisure extracurricular activities have more applied goals - teaching skills, which is implemented in the following didactic models: workshop (cutting and sewing, culinary, fine arts, photography, modeling), plein air, master class, theater studio. In addition, leisure activities are carried out for entertainment purposes, which contributes to the unification of children's entertaining leisure activities - competitions, games, theatrical performances.
Sports and recreational open extracurricular activities are carried out in the form sports games, hikes.
The age characteristics of students when choosing the content and forms of extracurricular activities are of decisive importance. Let's study this aspect of the problem.
Of particular importance is the holding of open extracurricular activities in primary schools. Children in elementary school are the most sensitive to learning new things; they require a clear demonstration of the proposed knowledge; in addition, the level of learning for younger schoolchildren is very high.
Based on this, when planning extracurricular activities for students in grades 1-4, preference should be given to conducting classes with elements of physical activity, games, competitive tasks, and excursions. A grade 2 open extracurricular activity must consider minor practical experience children of this age category, to form basic knowledge, skills and abilities.
Older children school age capable of longer static perception of material, reproduction more text, they are distinguished by their resistance to stress, which plays a decisive role when choosing the form of extracurricular activities. In such cases, it is worth giving preference to theatrical performances, KVN, brain-ring, tourist trips, and career guidance excursions.
Considering that the primary task of the school is learning, let us take a closer look at educational open events.
Open extracurricular activities of an educational nature promote in-depth study of material in certain subjects, systematization of acquired knowledge using non-traditional forms of presenting information.
The main purpose of conducting an extracurricular lesson in mathematics is practical use knowledge acquired in lessons. Such events are most effective in the form of games, travel, competitions, excursions, theatrical productions, subject weeks. There are different types of extracurricular activities.
The cognitive functions of the game are very wide. The main advantage of the game over other forms of extracurricular activities is its accessibility. Solving mathematical charades, puzzles, crosswords is very exciting process, which allows you to systematize the acquired knowledge, develops logical thinking and ingenuity.
Traveling to the land of mathematics gives children the opportunity to get closer to mathematical terms, realizing their reality and necessity in life.
Competitive forms of open extracurricular activities in mathematics solve not only purely subject-specific problems, but also form a team, demonstrating real relationships in the classroom.
Conducting excursions aimed at studying mathematics allows children to project book knowledge onto the world around them.
Theatrical productions, the basis of which is a subject such as mathematics, clearly demonstrate the pattern of cause-and-effect relationships, form concepts about geometric shapes, sizes, etc.
Subject weeks in mathematics are a set of open extracurricular activities held in the following forms: open lesson - extracurricular activity, game, competition, quiz.
An extracurricular activity in mathematics activates students and contributes to the formation logical thinking. The most effective way to conduct classes that form interdisciplinary connections is: an open extracurricular event in mathematics in the form of a theatrical performance, which will improve the level of humanities and mathematical knowledge; an excursion to nature to consolidate the skills acquired in natural history and mathematics lessons.
This formulation of the question is especially relevant for the new subject “Technology”, the main goal of which is to introduce it into curriculum became the practical application of knowledge acquired at school.
Considering that school program devotes a critically small number of teaching hours to the study of the subject “Technology”; extracurricular activities play a vital role in mastering this discipline.
The target orientation of this subject towards bringing theory and practice closer together allows us to talk about the peculiarities of conducting extra-curricular activities in technology.
The development of students' work skills is the most important component in school. Work fosters such personality qualities as independence and responsibility for decisions made, which contributes to the formation of a full-fledged citizen.
An open extracurricular event on technology will demonstrate independent practical skills of students acquired in the classroom and motivate them labor activity. In addition, technology lessons make it possible to identify children’s inclination towards a certain type of activity, which, in turn, will help them decide on their choice of profession in the future.
Extracurricular activities on technology are held in various forms: workshop, master class, quiz, game, competition.
Any open lesson (extracurricular activity) allows students to consolidate their knowledge in a particular subject. In addition, this form of conducting classes arouses great interest among the children. The teacher should plan extracurricular activities in advance. You can take help from students during the preparation process.

Along with mandatory training sessions in educational institutions other types of activities are organized that are voluntary. These classes are aimed at satisfying the creative and cognitive needs of schoolchildren. Such forms of activities at school are called extracurricular or extracurricular.
The name speaks for itself: classes are held outside the schedule of compulsory lessons at school. They contain at will Students from different parallels and classes can participate. Extracurricular activities at school are divided into several types depending on the goals, and for each there are many options for forms of implementation.
Some of the priority tasks for today in the context of reforming the system Russian education- improving the quality of social education of children and developing their creative abilities. Extracurricular activities as one of the forms of school activity successfully meet these requirements, combining the functions of education, training and development of the student’s personality.
Extracurricular activities, intelligently organized in educational institution, helps socialize the younger generation, increases the student’s motivation for learning in general or promotes the development of interest in a specific academic subject, develops individuality, independence, and promotes personal self-realization.
Try it for free! For passing - a certificate of advanced training. Educational materials presented in the format of visual notes with video lectures by experts, accompanied by the necessary templates and examples.
Elective classes differ from lessons in new forms of mastering knowledge and skills, a psychological orientation towards students’ creativity and active involvement in educational process, productive learning without the need to memorize the material and maintain strict discipline.
All extracurricular activities can be classified according to the goals that are achieved during their implementation. Thus, there are three types of extracurricular activities at school:
Educational extracurricular activities are aimed at enhancing the cognitive activity of students, expanding the range of their interests, deepening knowledge, and developing the student’s civic position.
The leisure type of extracurricular activities is aimed at students acquiring new skills and abilities, the need for which arises outside of traditional educational activities. Entertaining events help to diversify school everyday life and unite students outside of school.
Sports and recreational extracurricular activities promote physical development and strengthen the health of schoolchildren, foster healthy competition and personal ambitions, and teach interaction with a team of like-minded people and rivals.
The type of extracurricular activity determines the choice of the form of the event and the location of the event: at school or outside it.
Educational extracurricular activities have such forms of execution as conversation, quiz, meeting with interesting people, discussion, training, visiting the theater, organizing a conference, excursion, Olympiad, review, competition.
Conversation, as one of the forms of extracurricular activities at school, involves a dialogue between the teacher and students. Conversation activates mental work, develops speech, maintains interest, and concentrates attention. Each conversation question is a problem that students solve. In high school, students can direct and moderate discussions on their own. In elementary school, the teacher determines the line of conversation by asking children leading questions.
There are several types of conversations: preparatory, heuristic (where the teacher teaches to find the truth by reasoning), informing, reproducing (consolidating the studied material), generalizing (held at the end of an extracurricular activity), and repeating.
Olympiads, competitions, and exhibitions of children's creativity are designed to stimulate the educational and cognitive activities of schoolchildren, to develop the desire for competition in the study of such disciplines as foreign and Russian languages, mathematics, physics, literature and chemistry.
Such forms of extracurricular activities at school are planned in advance, and the best students are selected to participate. They give a great impetus to the development of students’ abilities and inclinations in various fields of knowledge. In addition, holding such events makes it possible to evaluate the creative nature of teachers’ work and their ability to find and develop children’s talents.
Another form of extracurricular activities that will be interesting for students primary school, and for teenagers, - an excursion. Allows you to make observations, study various objects, phenomena and processes in natural conditions, broaden the horizons of schoolchildren of any age. In didactic terms, the excursion can be used at any stage: for the purpose of introducing new topic, to consolidate material or to deepen existing knowledge.
Excursions can be conducted in almost all school subjects, with students of all ages. In the lower grades, excursions are simply necessary when studying natural history and getting to know the world around us. For high school and middle school students, excursions are conducted during geography and history lessons.
Leisure extracurricular activities have more practical goals - teaching new skills and abilities. Their implementation can take place in the form of a workshop (cutting and sewing, cooking, drawing, photography, modeling), a master class, in the open air, in the format of a theater studio, a competition or an intellectual game.
Clubs, creative associations, electives, workshops - the leading form creative activity students. The system-forming component in conducting this type of extracurricular activities at school is children’s creativity, directed and developed by the teacher.
Structure of the event different forms leisure extracurricular activities differ, but we can highlight common elements. When preparing workshops, clubs or extracurricular activities, all work is divided into three parts: theoretical, critical-analytical and creative-practical activities. Classes can be comprehensive or dedicated to one person specific species activities.
Sports and recreation open events at school they are held in the form of competitions, competitions, sports games or hikes.
To identify the range of interests of students, it is advisable to conduct a survey to find out what students would like to do after school. It must be remembered that any type of extracurricular activity in which children are involved must have a public and socially significant orientation.
The age characteristics of school students are decisive when choosing the form of extracurricular activities. Thus, for primary school students, a visual demonstration of information and flexible forms of extracurricular activities are more important. It is easier to involve younger schoolchildren in classes with elements of physical activity, competitions, games, and excursions.
High school students are capable of longer, static perception of material. Theatrical performances, KVN, tourist trips, brain-ring, and career guidance excursions are relevant for them.
When conducting an extracurricular activity in elementary school, it is necessary to take into account the small practical experience of students. The lesson should contribute to the formation of children’s basic knowledge, their abilities and skills, while in middle and high school extracurricular activities can be conducted to consolidate past material.
For successful implementation Extracurricular activities of each type and in any form must follow a four-step sequence:
