Ensuring the functioning of the playground “Azbuka bezopasnosti” for preschool children through thematic events (once a month) with the involvement of interested parties.
12. Detailed description of project activities:
The low level of safe street behavior skills among preschool children has caused an increase in road traffic accidents involving children in the Grodno region. According to the State Automobile Inspectorate of the Department of Internal Affairs for the Grodno region, for 7 months of 2021, 21 traffic accidents involving children were registered on the roads of the Grodno region. In these accidents, 17 children were injured, five died.
Reasons for these incidents: lack of knowledge and motives for safe behavior in children; lack of a developing environment for the formation of these skills; lack of a sufficient example of adult safe behavior.
A survey of the parent community of the Yuzhny microdistrict of the urban village of Zelva (82 families in which children of preschool age participated in the survey) showed that 75 families (90.4%) feel the need to create such a town for their children and are sure that it will to promote the formation and prevention of safe behavior skills in preschool children.
The creation of conditions for teaching preschool children the skills of safe behavior on the street and on the road will be used not only for small residents of one microdistrict, but will also provide an opportunity for preschool children of the urban village of Zelva to attend thematic events for the prevention of road traffic injuries among children.
Why “We?” Our institution is located in this microdistrict and we have a “District Safety Center” equipped, which contributes to the formation of fire safety skills in children. Our institution employs teachers of preschool education of the highest qualification category, who know the methodology of teaching preschool children. The methodological base of the institution is partially equipped with manuals and developments of educational materials on this issue.
This project is an integral part of the curriculum of preschool education, in part, formed by the participants in the educational process in the direction of “Socio-moral and personal development” and contains the stages of the institution's activities to improve the conditions for the socio-moral development of children based on a system-activity approach, methodological recommendations for the use in educational activities with children of new elements of the content of education, new educational technologies, forms, methods and means of teaching, and taking into account the leading activities of a preschooler.
A playground is necessary to create a multi-level training for children of different ages from a theoretical level to practical road safety skills in a specialized play and learning space.
