Preschoolers love to work, help elders and comrades. Their work is filled with rich content, plays a great educational role, if organized with the use of an aesthetically designed area of ​​duty that takes into account the requirements of the program and the age characteristics of children. The teacher can make and equip the corner with everything necessary with his own hands, relying on the support of the parents of the pupils, as well as involving children in this.

Organization of a duty corner in kindergarten

Duty is one of effective forms organization of child labor in preschool. An original and brightly designed duty corner will help make the duty more exciting, as well as streamline their conduct.

Beautiful, comfortable corners on duty can now be ordered from various manufacturers and design agencies, and on the Internet. They will pick up both color, and a form under the order. But sometimes it is much more interesting for a creative teacher to make a corner with his own hands. After all, in this way he can show his talents and attract children, which will positively affect the development of creative abilities and the upbringing of the industriousness of children.

The imagination and skill of the educator allow you to create interesting compositions from improvised materials, for example, from plastic dishes.

Why is a duty corner necessary?

In addition to the aesthetic function - to decorate the room of the group and delight the pupils, the corner is necessary for many more reasons. The main tasks it performs:

The dependence of the design of the corner on the age of the children in the group

Duty corners are required in all groups except early age(third year of life). Before you start making a corner, you need to think about what it will be like, take into account all the requirements that apply to it, and also decide where to place it.

One of the main functions of such a corner is to help the teacher organize the alternate participation of all the children in the group on duty and report who is on duty today in different areas of activity. Because the different types shifts become available to kids at different ages, the teacher should first of all pay attention to this moment.

The first thing the children get acquainted with is the duty in the dining room. It is introduced in the second junior group, but not at the beginning, but in the middle of the year. In the first half of the year, children master labor skills by completing assignments: arrange napkin holders, plates for bread. Instructions are given to one or two children, the children perform the same actions, guided by the prompts of the teacher or assistant nanny.

In the younger group, there is enough corner for dining room duty, decorated with favorite characters of children and cute pictures

The second type of duty is introduced in the middle of the year in the middle group. These are duty classes. Previously, the children get acquainted with the work performed on this duty also in assignments. They lay out handouts, application plates, plasticine, etc. on the tables, and after class they collect and bring them to a designated place. Assignments are given to those who wish to help, so not all the children of the group are covered by labor. That is why the duty is so useful, which allows you to involve all the pupils in the work.

In the middle group there will be enough space for two shifts: for the dining room and classes

The last duty is introduced in the corner of nature. It starts at senior group since September, since children of this age can quickly navigate, have sufficient skills and abilities, are able to share labor operations among themselves, perform them together, and help each other.

Thus, the type of duty corner depends on what age the children will be in the group, because the pupils are not placed randomly, but taking into account the height of the furniture (tables, chairs) that is in the group room:

  • If the kids of the second younger group live in the room, then a corner of duty in the dining room is enough.
  • In the group where the kids will be middle group, a corner is made for dining room duties and classes.
  • If the group room is equipped with sufficiently high furniture or the furniture is adjustable in height, satisfying the sanitary requirements for older preschoolers, then in such a group a duty corner is needed for all three types.

Requirements for the corner of duty in kindergarten

In addition to taking into account the age of children, when making a corner on duty, the following requirements must be observed:

  • Durability and reliability. Since the corner is made not for a week or a month, but for a long time, its safety during this time should be foreseen. Therefore, for the base, it is worth choosing a durable material, for example, plywood or chipboard. A good replacement for these materials can serve as plastic or cassettes for pasting the ceiling. When purchasing them in a hardware store, you must definitely require a certificate, which will indicate that this type of material can be used inside residential premises. Paper, even whatman paper, will not last long, as an option, only very dense high-quality cardboard is possible.
  • Possibility of wet cleaning. All equipment in the group (especially those with a long service life) should be subjected to wet cleaning according to the schedule. This does not mean that the corner will be washed with soap, but it must be wiped from dust with a damp sponge. Therefore, inscriptions, drawings on its surface must be indelible.
  • Compliance with hygiene requirements is one of the most important, because the health of children depends on it.
    • In the duty corner there is not only a stand with individual cards, but also aprons and caps (kerchiefs) for the dining room attendants. Their children put on after they wash their hands, before performing labor activities. Therefore, care should be taken to place the corner where the clothes of the attendants would be safe: away from the play and art areas. Being carried away by the game, the guys can drop the aprons on the floor, step on them, and while drawing - stain them with paint. It is impossible to demand from a preschooler that in the process of playing or creating he thinks about the safety of the clothes on duty. This nuance should be taken into account by the teacher.
    • When duty is introduced in a corner of nature, it is necessary to provide those on duty with protective clothing while caring for plants. To do this, you need to have sets of oilcloth aprons with armlets. It is impossible to store aprons for dining and caring for plants nearby. Clothes in which children water, transplant, wash plants should be in a corner of nature, next to watering cans, loosening sticks, flower pots.
  • Accessibility for children. The corner is placed in such a place that preschoolers can freely approach it, look at pictures, schemes for performing operations during shifts (if any). The design should be understandable to children, so the inscription “On duty by nature” or “On duty for classes” is of no practical use, children are unlikely to read it. It is better to designate each type of duty with a bright and understandable picture: an image of dishes, a plant, an album and pencils. As an option: the image of children at the dinner table, watering flowers, busy modeling or drawing. At the beginning of the shift, the children are introduced to the corner, they explain what the images mean, what duties the duty officers perform in different areas.
  • Aesthetics. Of course, every teacher wants his corner of duty, as well as the rest of the design of the group, to be the best and most beautiful.
    • Creative teachers turn to parents, craftsmen for help, who cut out the basis for a corner in the form of a samovar, a cloud, chamomile, a train from improvised materials. Such corners always look beautiful, attract the attention of children.
    • But even a simple rectangular base can be decorated with taste and attractiveness, showing imagination and a sense of proportion. In this case, you need to be guided by the general view of the group. Previously, about twenty years ago, furniture in kindergartens was of the same type, white or light wood. Now colored furniture has become fashionable, in which two or three colors are combined. It will be great if the teacher takes this into account and decorates the corner to match the overall design of the group. For example, the Vasilek group with blue-white-green furniture does not need a corner of duty officers in red and yellow tones, but blue with blue and white will be in place. You can teach children how to combine a successful combination of colors and instill in them a taste in such trifles.

The bright painted corner of the attendants looks great against the background of a simple plain wall.

Not a requirement, but advice: place the corner where direct sunlight will not fall on it during the day. This will protect the background and cards from fading and keep them attractive for longer.

The main, most striking and attention-grabbing component of the duty corner is, of course, the stand, which will house the attendants. A set of pictures or photographs of children is attached to the stand, which, for better preservation, it is desirable to laminate with a transparent film.

To be on duty in the dining room, you must have the following equipment:

  • A brush for sweeping crumbs from the table, about 25-30 cm long with a handle. The handle should be no more than 3 cm in diameter, comfortable for a child's hand.
  • Scoop for crumbs, about 15 by 15 cm in size, handle length up to 12 cm.
  • A floor brush for sweeping with a handle length up to 110 cm and a cross section up to 3 cm.
  • Scoop for garbage on the long or short handle. These tools are stored near the corner, but not near the clothing of the attendants.

Equipment for sweeping crumbs from tables should be kept hanging on hooks.

Broom for sweeping in kindergarten not used, it is difficult to disinfect, and its use is not in accordance with sanitary standards.

The clothes of those on duty in the dining room consist of aprons, which can be made from chintz, guipure, satin, preferably in light colors. Headwear for girls: headscarves, caps. Boys are offered only hats.

Craftswomen - mothers and grandmothers of pupils will help to make aprons and caps for attendants

For duty in a corner of nature, waterproof aprons and, if possible, sleeves are purchased. To care for plants, you need the appropriate inventory:

  • watering cans;
  • basins for washing plants;
  • sticks for loosening the soil;
  • sponges for wiping leaves.

Schemes and step-by-step images of the actions of the attendants, pictures and photos of properly served tables can complement the design of the duty corner.

In order for the attendants to properly understand the duty scheme, an explanation of the educator is necessary

Duty classes do not require special clothing and equipment. The main thing that pupils should be armed with is the ability to quickly and in an organized manner carry out the assigned work. In the senior and preparatory groups a lot of material is used in the classroom, so children need to be collected and be able to clearly perform actions (take and arrange plates, lay out oilcloths, etc.), because from breakfast to an organized educational activities not much time passes, and the help of the teacher on duty is sometimes very necessary.

Some interesting ideas for decorating the corners of duty

As a rule, the stand, that is, the base of the corner, is made in the form of a panel on which the name, pockets for pictures-signs (or photos) and decor elements are located. A few design ideas will help to diversify and make the corner unusual.

There is usually no difficulty with the name of the corner of the attendants, since in most groups it is called so: “Corner of duty, duty”. There are also options: "We are on duty, today they are on duty." But how much more interesting and useful in terms of development and upbringing of children is to name the corner “We love to be on duty”, “Little helpers”, “Hard-working Suns, Bees, Daisies” (depending on the name of the group).

The kids will certainly want to know what the inscription means, and it will be much more pleasant to hear in response not just a phrase, but praise. This will cause a desire to participate in the labor process and may even serve as the topic of an exciting educational conversation: “What do you think, why is our corner called like that? Who is called industrious? How can you help the teacher, the nanny, your group friends?

There are also several options for individual symbol cards:

  • Curly: in the form of flowers, clouds, mushrooms with an individual picture and the name of the child. The stand itself in this case should be appropriately decorated - like a lawn, a sunny sky, a clearing in the forest.
  • With stud fastening. In this case, pictures indicating the types of duty are placed on the stand, and below them are buttons with a protruding plastic part, the so-called carnations. In this case, children's cards are made with loops or slots, hanging them on buttons. You need to securely fasten the buttons to the stand, not just sticking them in, but additionally fixing them with superglue so that they do not fall out and cause injury.
  • In the form of checkboxes. Under the pictures of those on duty in the dining room, nature and activities, a shelf is placed, and on it are two holders for flags for each type of duty. Individual pictures or photos of children are glued onto the flags and inserted into the holders.

The teacher can also draw an original idea from tea utensils by making a corner in the form of a teapot and cups. The idea of ​​​​a corner in the form of a clock, the arrows of which point to the attendants, is noteworthy.

The duty corner helps to organize and interest the children in the regular performance of work duties. A colorful, attractive corner, made by the hands of a teacher from inexpensive improvised means, on duty will certainly arouse the interest of little fidgets and help make the work process easy and exciting - after all, children or their relatives, needlewomen mothers and skilled fathers will definitely take part in the design of the corner.
