Methodological development of children's interactive classes in the museum

Abstract

The article describes the features of developing interactive programs for primary school students in the context of a literary museum and the successful experience of involving colleagues in this process. Speaking about such a form of museum work as a children's interactive lesson, the author draws attention to the specifics of both the preparation process and the conduct of the children's lesson itself. Working on such projects requires non-standard approaches, which are mostly not typical for classical museum studies. The very idea of a children's lesson arises from the desire of museum staff to tell about a particular topic in a language that is understandable and close to the children's audience. Every museum employee who has experience in conducting children's excursions knows that for young visitors, tactile sensations play an important role in cognition, as well as knowledge of the specifics of its functioning. Thus, an important task of the museum worker is to maintain a balance between attracting the children's audience and storing memorial exhibits.
