The importance of teaching tolerance in kindergarten

Children have no prejudices. You smile openly and sincerely - you are a good person. You're fun to play with - you're a great friend. You tell me interesting things and help me learn new things - you are a wonderful teacher. The child strives to communicate. And he doesn't make any assumptions about people based on their skin color or eye shape. We can say that children are tolerant by nature. Their views are formed and undergo changes under external influence (adult conversations, statements on television, then thoughtlessly repeated by older children). Cultivating a sense of tolerance is one of the requirements for a modern teacher of a preschool educational institution (DOU).

A child chooses a playmate not by skin color, but by common interests.

The Russian Federation is a multinational state. In recent decades, migration processes have been intensifying in most regions. Groups in kindergartens are often mixed, that is, they are composed of children of different nationalities. The Federal State Educational Standard (FSES) establishes the provision of access to education for every child, regardless of nationality.

Interesting fact. Representatives of more than 200 nationalities (ethnic groups) live on the territory of the Russian Federation.

All children, regardless of nationality or language, love holidays

In the modern world, it is important to educate spiritual and moral values ​​through the work of educational organizations (kindergartens, development centers, schools). But fostering kindness, sensitivity, and tolerance begins in the family. The activities of teachers within the framework of spiritual and moral development are revealed in classes at preschool educational institutions, in consultations and master classes for parents, and in holding festive events. Nowadays children are told a lot about their rights and sometimes they forget to emphasize that every member of society has rights and freedoms. These universal truths about respect for the individual in kindergarten are repeated with parents.

The concept of tolerance is broader than national tolerance. This is a person’s kind attitude towards people around him, whose views, religious beliefs, and appearance differ from his own. Classes on teaching tolerance in kindergarten include issues of national and cultural differences, instilling respect for people of different ages (both older people and children), and acceptance of people with disabilities.

Tolerance is a broad concept, but its essence is being kind to everyone who is different from yourself

In a fun way, preschoolers are taught knowledge about different countries and peoples.

Techniques for teaching tolerance in preschoolers

Cultivating a good attitude towards other people is part of the educational process in preschool educational institutions. Activities on tolerance are carried out starting from younger groups; the teacher takes into account the age and individual characteristics of children when planning classes. Among the methodological recommendations for instilling tolerance in preschoolers, the following techniques are used:

• an accessible form of transmitting or searching for information: educational conversations with children 2–4 years old,
• heuristic conversations (independent problem solving) in senior groups,

Lessons on tolerance, as a rule, are integrated: children talk, ask questions, study visual materials and engage in creativity

A master class for preschool teachers illustrates techniques for instilling tolerance in preschoolers: making crafts, dancing and playing music in a playful way. The host of the master class talks about cultivating tolerance through the study of native Russian life and immersion in folk art. More like an educational activity within the framework of familiarization with Russian folk culture. There is no mention in the master class of introducing children to other peoples and their characteristics. And tolerance can be cultivated through understanding and accepting the polyphony of the world.

Taking into account the individual approach to raising children, the teacher thinks through multi-level tasks for classes on tolerance. For example, didactic games are selected in accordance with the intellectual abilities of students. In the middle group, you can play a game with pictures that depict life situations: a boy and an elderly man are standing at a pedestrian crossing, a small child is crying in the sandbox next to a boy, a girl in a national Tatar costume does not dare to join a round dance. For children with a low level of logical thinking, a second set of cards has been prepared: the boy takes his grandfather across the road/the boy walks alone, the boy consoles the baby/the boy plays alone, the round dance participants explain the rules of the dance to the girl/the round dance continues with a new dance pattern. Children are given the task of matching the cards in the first set with the correct solutions to situations. Children with a sufficient level of intellectual abilities figure out how to act kindly and tolerantly for the children in the pictures.

Creative tasks are divided in a similar way:

• some paint a picture of a national costume, others try to draw a pattern in the national style on a template,
• when staging a folk tale, roles are distributed in accordance with the children’s skills: the ability to learn and expressively perform a text (rhyme), dance scenes, song compositions, roles without words with expressive facial expressions/plasticity.

Individualization is carried out in the development of tasks based on the interests of students. In middle preschool age, a separation of preferences occurs between girls and boys. Learning costumes, hairstyles, baked goods of various shapes, folk toys and dolls is exciting for girls. Boys can be interested in national weapons, heroic tales and legends.

Girls love to play with dolls, dress them up and comb their hair, so it’s worth preparing a lesson on national toys for them

Classes on tolerance education must be conducted in an entertaining way. The teacher’s arguments about tolerance towards representatives of different nations, cultures and religions will most likely be incomprehensible and uninteresting to children. It should be remembered that in preschoolers involuntary attention and memory predominate. Children focus their attention on what surprises and attracts, what they want to know as much as possible. Bright events, unusual activities and fun games are stored in memory as valuable experiences. The ability for voluntary attention begins to develop at the age of 6–7 years. Therefore, classes on tolerance in kindergarten must begin with creating motivation - stimulating the interest of preschoolers in subsequent activities.

It is important that classes on tolerance are interesting to children

Visualization is one of the means of motivating preschoolers, you just need to choose the right material: for younger ones - pictures and toys, for older ones - cards and photographs

Planning Tolerance Week in kindergarten

The implementation of Tolerance Week is discussed and approved by pedagogical councils, usually in 2 stages:

1. Voicing current tasks for promoting tolerance in kindergarten, discussing the start date of Tolerance Week, identifying possible events.
2. Submission of an action plan (from educators, social pedagogue and psychologist, music and physical education directors) and approval of the Tolerance Week program.

Traditionally, Tolerance Week is held in kindergartens and schools in November - before the International Day of Tolerance (November 16).

Tolerance Week in kindergarten involves unusual activities and events:

• classes in a non-traditional form (game, integrated), including using ICT (information and computer technologies),
• musical holiday: children prepare numbers with national dances and songs together with a music director and a choreography teacher,
• short-term projects or the final event for a long-term project,
• physical education leisure: a day of folk games and outdoor activities,
• competition of drawings, crafts, motivational posters,
• master classes for parents.

As part of the Tolerance Week, child-parent events are held at the preschool educational institution

Table: example of planning for Tolerance Week

There may be several festive events (concerts) planned - for younger, middle and older pupils. This organization gives each group the opportunity to express themselves creatively and invite parents as spectators.

The most interesting and exciting thing about concerts and celebrations during Tolerance Week is the opportunity to try on the national costumes of residents of distant countries. It is recommended to involve parents in the production of attributes and elements of national clothing.
