Abstract
The article covers the meaning of the concepts “holiday” and “entertainment”; the purpose of their conduct in the pre-school establishments and importance for the diverse development of children is revealed; the analysis of the existing educational programs of preschool education concerning directions of realization of holidays and entertainments in institutions of preschool education; The most promising educational program for this intelligence – “The Path”, as well as the partial “Rainbow Music Therapy”, is elaborated, in which the substantive aspects of preparation of holidays and entertainments in modern institutions of preschool education are presented in the most comprehensive way.The attention of teachers of preschool establishments is to focus on traditional local customs, distinctive national peculiarities of musical culture, cultural-regional traditions, rituals, and adapt them to the specifics of a preschool institution.After analyzing the software for modern pre-school establishments (“Ukrainian preschool”, “Child” “Child in preschool years”, “Sunflower”, “Confident start”, “I in the world”, “The world of childhood”, “The Path”), and as well as the “Rainbow Music Therapy” and “Joy of Creativity” partial programs, we conclude that the problem of choosing, organizing, preparing and conducting holidays and entertainment for children today is not given due attention. And although some programs put forward requirements for a minimum list of holidays and entertainment, their theoretical and methodological analysis, unfortunately, practically does not offer. More fundamentally, this issue is covered by the authors of the “Child in Preschool”, “The World of Childhood” programs, and the educational program “The Road” appears to be a practical tool for young preschoolers. It focuses on organizing and conducting not only traditional calendar ritual but also non-traditional holidays: the Feast of Michael, the Feast of Lanterns (late autumn), the Feast of the Father, the Feast of the Birds, the Sunny May, the Feast of the Trinity, the Ivan’s Days (Hello, summer!), etc.
