At this time in child care facilities there take place thematic actions, on TV – the transfers devoted to astronautics. Remind children of official date and try to celebrate the day of astronautics with children cheerfully and informatively, having turned it into a cozy family holiday.
We make out the room on the date of astronautics
Decorate the room in which you are going to note on April 12. Find in magazines or unpack from pages of websites of the image of the famous astronauts, spacecrafts, the ISS. Make a collage and hang up it on a wall. Surely sign photos for children: "Yury Gagarin is the first-ever astronaut", "Valentina Tereshkova is the first-ever female astronaut", "Appolon-11" – the first spaceship on the Moon" and so on.
Connect children to registration of the room, in common prepare hand-made articles. Try to make the globe of napkins which will become the center of a thematic exposition. Print the image of one hemisphere on the sheet A4 and put it in the file. Dig tissues on small pieces, for example, green (land) and blue (water) and place them on different tanks. Moisten material with water, fill in with PVA glue and stir the received weight. Accurately lay out the bichromatic drawing on the file. After full drying the hand-made article can be separated from a film.
We play with children: the scenario on the date of astronautics
Surely think over the game scenario taking into account the number of the participating children and their age. Children of 4-6 years with pleasure will make "flight to the Moon", especially with the assistance of adults in the general fun. Attach to clothes of participants of an inscription – names of planets of the Solar system, establish in the center of the room of the adult (Sun) and specify to participants of their orbit. Someone has to switch on and off the player with space music: while it plays, "planets" will rotate in a certain order when stops – to gather in the general circle.
After warm-up carry out cheerful starts - launch a missile in space: distribute to all by identical quantity from in advance prepared cardboard strips, circles, triangles. On command everyone has to manage to put in a definite time on a floor the figure similar to the spacecraft. After that participants "arrive to the Moon" and as if moon rovers, can begin movement in single file on the line conducting to a prize.
On the way craters – circles meet the tasks corresponding to age. For example, it is necessary to paint quickly a black-and-white rocket, to answer a question ("As the satellite of Earth is called?", "What planet is surrounded with a ring?"). Dream, join in the general fun and do not forget to imprint the most interesting moments of a holiday on a photo and video! It is good if in the city the museum of astronautics where it is possible to go all company works.
How to launch a missile on the date of astronautics
Children will surely remember day of astronautics on April 12 if they have an opportunity to launch a small missile in the yard. For this purpose the plastic bottle which can be painted in white color or a metallic is required. On a bottom an adhesive tape attach a cone from dense paper. Level with a neck opposite to each other paste four identical triangles, having bent one of the parties of each preparation for a glue seam.
In a stopper do a small hole and insert the needle pump from the bicycle. Fill a bottle on a third with water. Begin to pump up air, forcing pressure in a container, the stopper will not take off yet and "rocket" will not fly up. At the same time from a neck the water jet will be splashed out, and the improvised aircraft will rise quite highly. It is possible to make such experiment only taking into account all precautionary measures that nothing to sadden a holiday.
