The kindergarten where my daughter grew up and where my son now goes, turned 30 years old . “Rowanushka” is decorated for the holiday, all groups make posters and collages with congratulations.
Well, can you guess who makes the wall newspaper for our group? Yes. I:-).
I’m happy with the result, so I’m happy to share the idea, since it can be used not only for kindergarten, but also for school, and for children’s summer camp (in the photo my Vovka is in the foreground in a blue shirt :-)).
I wanted to make some unusual applique. I came across these voluminous pictures on the Internet:
They are very easy to make! Cut out 5-10 identical clouds from one template and fasten them in the center with a stapler. The paper must be double-sided! Ready!
I made a wall newspaper on a piece of Whatman paper, Balloons They turned out to be quite large and did not hold their shape well. To prevent the “pages” of my volumetric appliqué from sticking together, I taped all the inner folds with thin strips of tape. After such manipulation, the umbrellas, balls and clouds looked great!
I photographed the children in groups in hoops, so that later it would be easier to fit them into the silhouette of the basket. My baskets are wicker :-). Remember how they taught you in 1st grade? Cut strips 1 cm wide, weave them into fabric, glue them onto cardboard, and cut them into the shape of a basket.
Wall newspaper for kindergarten It was supposed to be fun, so at the moment of photographing I asked the children to shout the word “Hurray!” Then I glued replicas “Hurray!”, “Congratulations”, “Happy birthday, “Rowanushka” near, to “sound” our picture.
My teachers and nanny also fly in the clouds in the image of Mary Poppins. They posed standing on their toes and stretching their arm up, holding an imaginary umbrella. The umbrella is also made in the form of a three-dimensional applique.
All! All that remains is to assemble our children's wall newspaper!
I tinted the sheet of whatman paper a little with a blue pencil (it’s better to grind the lead into powder and use a piece of cotton wool).
I made the congratulatory posters (red ribbons) in a graphics program and printed them on glossy paper.
The children's wall newspaper is ready for the kindergarten anniversary!
Children are always interested in the successes of their squad, the results of sports and creative events, they love to read witty advice from counselors, compare scores for cleanliness in their room (cleanliness screen), know who is from the squad and what they managed to excel at over the past day, etc. d. Therefore, the place where all information is concentrated should be the ship’s logbook and a general information stand. The ship's log reflects the ship's activities and its participation in the life of the children's planet. The ship's magazine is designed to develop children's activity, expand knowledge, and help in education good taste, teach the culture of design, awaken interest in the life of your team. The ship's log is where the ship's crew constantly works. The successes and victories of the ship are presented here, the imagination, ingenuity, and skill of the children are reflected. This is a kind of newspaper, and it is constantly operating, lively, and creative.
The ship's log is the creativity of you and your children, but nevertheless we want to give some tips that will help you:
The journal should reflect various aspects of the life of the ship (sports, participation in camp life, awards, birthdays);
Children should take part in decorating the corner and updating the content of the headings.
The design of the magazine (corner) should correspond to the name of the ship (and the age of the children, of course). The ship's log can be placed on one sheet of whatman paper, but if possible, it can occupy the entire wall in the hall, or you can even decorate the entire hall in accordance with the name of the ship. The most important thing is that the magazine should largely be made by children (of course, if the children are very small, you can limit yourself to only minor elements on their part). The counselor should take mainly a leading and directing part.
As a rule, in the first days, only the base of the corner is made, containing the necessary elements, and it is filled during the entire shift. Before leaving, the children take the corner apart piece by piece as a souvenir, so if the corner is large, then everyone will get a memorable piece, and there will be no fights.
For the arrival of new children, the following sections are drawn up in the corner:
Congratulations on your arrival - welcome posters (“Hello, we are glad to see you!”, “We have been waiting for you for a long time!”, “Hurray! You have arrived!”, etc.);
Information about the camp, counselors, camp address;
Laws and traditions of the camp (see below);
Instructions for the guys from the last shift (if this is the first shift - from last summer);
Daily reflection;
Daily plan, shift plan and other sections at the discretion of the counselors.
Squad corner
During the main shift period, the detachment corner reflects the daily activities of the detachment:
Competitions;
Preparing for the holidays;
Participation in creative competitions;
Encouraging children, etc.
The name of the unit, motto, emblem and anthem of the unit;
Shift calendar;
Daily routine (you can come up with a poetic one);
Sports news;
Squad list;
Clean screen;
Book of complaints and suggestions;
Revelation Fence (where children can write whatever they want);
Funny phrases: after the “Hang up” command it becomes dark; If you chase two counselors, you won’t catch either one, etc.
You can enter a changeable heading “Congratulations”. You can congratulate the guys not only on their birthday or on winning a competition, but:
To all of us that we woke up today;
Everyone, everyone, everyone have a good week at camp;
With the first rain in the camp;
Happy opening of the swimming season to all of us;
All the girls who were invited to a slow dance, all the boys who decided to invite these same girls to a slow dance, all the other boys and girls who did not dance the slow dance, but only watched, watched, watched...
Can be done interesting section"Time". This section is placed next to the daily routine, the guys and counselors figure out what time it is:
Clean rooms;
On duty in the dining room;
Collect lost things;
Seize the moment;
Check watches, etc.
In addition to the obligatory contents, you can hang absolutely everything related to the squad in the corner (for example: drawings after a caricature competition, gratitude, angry sheets, a treasure map after searching for treasure). Design options can be very different, and they are limited only by your imagination: flat, three-dimensional, sliding, with rotating parts or hanging elements, and you can use anything as a material, not just paper.
Design secrets
First of all, take this advice: when packing your bags for camp, be sure to take some stationery- they are never superfluous! You can also take something that can help you with the design - these are color magazines, postcards, catalogs that you are going to throw away, believe me, they will come in handy in the camp. You can read how they can be used here. Another very important point in design - NEVER THROW AWAY SCRIPTS OF COLORED PAPER (they will come in handy later)!
Registration of numbers for rooms
It is very convenient when colorful numbers hang on children's rooms indicating the squad number and the names of the children who live there.
1. This can be done in this form (a boat is glued together from colored paper): the room number is written on the flag of the boat, the squad number is written on the hull, and the names of the children are written on the sail. In order to make it easier to remember the names of all children at the beginning of the shift, names can be entered in the same way as the beds and room. Thus, when entering a room, the counselor will see in front of him a small plan of the room with all its inhabitants.
2. Take out the color magazines you brought with you. There will definitely be photographs of boys and girls. If you cut them out and paste them onto a sheet of colored paper according to the number of girls or boys living in the room, then each child can choose a “photo of themselves” and sign their name next to it.
3. For the little ones, you can glue daisies - for girls with a red center, and for boys - with a blue one. The number of Petals can correspond to the number of children living in the room, in order to sign a name on each petal.
Decor business cards for children
At the beginning of the shift, it is difficult for children and counselors to remember each other's names. The counselors have badges indicating their names, so the children also need to make business cards.
1. You can draw any cartoon and enter everything you need:

2. You can glue the faces of boys and girls from colored paper:

Laws and traditions for the detachment corner
Counselors should focus children’s attention on three “don’ts”: you can’t disrupt the daily routine, you can’t leave the camp territory without permission, you can’t offend anyone. But along with this, each unit must have its own laws and traditions. There are laws and traditions that apply throughout the camp.
Some of them:
. Law of law- this rule is strict compliance all the laws that apply in the camp. Remember: laws exist to be followed.
. Law 00- this is the law of accuracy. Camp life is a series of events. If you yourself are accurate and punctual, then your squad will be the same. Late arrivals and unnecessary pauses are what make camp life uninteresting and lead to conflicts among children and adults.
. Law of territory- this is very strict law. Neither the children nor you are allowed to leave the camp territory without permission from the administration. Violation of the law threatens the life and health of the child.
. Law of Water- these are the rules for the safe behavior of children on the beach and while swimming. Often on the beach or in the pool they forget about everything. But you, the counselor, must remember and follow all the rules, all the requirements for the safe interaction of children with water.
. Law of Greenery- this is the law of caring for nature, the flora and fauna that surrounds us. It is also important to consider that many plants, insects and animals can pose a threat to the life and health of children and adults (poisonous mushrooms, berries, insects, snakes, etc.). The law of the forest says: “Be careful and attentive in the forest!”
. The Law of Creativity. For a long time, in camps and children's groups there was a great rule: “Do everything creatively, otherwise why?!” Creativity cannot be limited. Invent, create and fantasize, without this there is no children's camp, there is no counselor work.
. Law of the Raised Hand. Discussions often take place in the camp - they discuss how life is going, which things worked out, which didn’t, and why. If you want to express your opinion or judgment, agreement or disagreement, raise your hand. The law says: if a person raises his hand, he needs to tell people something necessary. When a hand is raised, everyone around should shut up and listen carefully. But you have the right to raise your hand when you want to say something important.
. Law of the Eagle Circle. The circle brings the guys together. It’s great when your friends are nearby, to feel a friend’s elbow, a faithful hand, a kind look. In the circle of eaglets, with their hands on the shoulders of their comrades, the guys sing their favorite songs. There is a rule - right hand we place it on the shoulder of the neighbor on the right, and the left one on the waist of the neighbor on the left. The Eagle Circle is a symbol of frank, spiritual comfort.
. Tradition of treating people kindly- This is a tradition of goodwill and respect for each other. Smile, rejoice, wish everyone who lives next to you health and goodness. Support and help each other out, and then all things will work out faster and better.
. Tradition of a good attitude towards the song. The sages said that song is the soul of the people. Every camp, every unit has its own favorite songs. Appreciate the song, love the song, treat it like your most precious relic. Do not disturb those who are singing, do not sing if you do not know the melody and words of the song. A song, like people, requires respect.
. The tradition of the evening light. Every day there is an evening light at the camp. From the very first light, the principle is accepted - sincerity, goodwill, truth in the eyes. Light is a frank assessment of the deeds and actions of one’s comrades. On the fire they dream, argue, sing their favorite songs. These are lessons about integrity, genuine love for people and lifelong friendships.
You can create other laws and traditions of your life in the camp yourself, together with your guys.
Show creativity, establish your laws and traditions!
Laws and traditions can be formalized in poetic form on a common “scroll”:

Design of a squad newspaper
The design and content of wall newspapers should always correspond to the theme of the newspaper. Children make a newspaper in a small group, so it is necessary that all children do something. There is not very much time to make a newspaper, therefore it is very important to properly organize the work of each child and the micro-group as a whole. In a newspaper, not only the information itself is important, but also its appearance. It needs to be bright and attract attention. To attract attention, you can use an unusual newspaper shape, since ordinary rectangular sheets do not always attract the attention of viewers. For example, if the content of a newspaper summarizes the results of the game "Treasure Island", 10 it can be cut out in this form (see figure). .jpg)
To create a pop of color in your newspaper, you can use appliqué - it's a very quick and colorful shape that can be used in camp decorations. It is especially good to use appliqué in junior units, as they spend a very long time drawing, and this will save time on making a newspaper. Not only colored paper can be used here, but also magazine clippings can be folded from cut out letters of headings necessary words for a newspaper, images can also be useful.
Making awards for children
During the shift, you will conduct squad activities, competitions, games, and based on their results it is necessary to carry out awards; for this you can make medals, certificates or thanks. .jpg)
Medals
Medals should always be bright, always indicating the nomination or place. Try to move away from the usual round shape and come up with an interesting, unusual shape. For example, a medal for the cleanest room might look like this (see figure)
Certificates and gratitude
Certificates and commendations are presented to one child or a small group, so in addition to stating the reason for the award, it is important to list the winners by name. The usual form of a certificate is an A4 sheet, but try to come up with new uniform. For example, a gratitude message may look like an ancient scroll (see picture).
And to create an applique on the letter, you can use the remaining scraps of colored paper.

Club advertising
To attract the attention of children to the sections, workshops and studios organized on the camp territory, it is recommended to use bright advertisements.

“Designing wall newspapers in a day camp”
Everyone Have a good day!
Let's create and make our lives brighter and more colorful!
I would like to invite you to decorate a squad corner with your own hands at a summer day camp. I will tell you how to make a poster that can decorate a detachment place or a general camp stand.
You will need: a sheet of whatman paper (A-1), gouache, brushes, jars of water, glue, marker, felt-tip pens, colored pencils, self-adhesive, etc. It is important to remember that design is an applied work, and therefore it is important to stock up on the necessary art materials.
You can, of course, write lists, draw graphs and pin it all on your tablet. But how boring it all is...
In the squad corner, in addition to the name, the following can be placed: motto, chant, songs, commandments, squad list, voucher of the day, congratulations (to birthday people or winners of any competitions).
I suggest possible headings for the squad corner:
Shift plan (“Grid plan”; “It’s not evening yet”; “Not a day without an order”; “Merry paths of summer”; “Our strategy”).
Today (“Today at our fire”; “The day is boring until the evening, if there is nothing to do”; “And today we have...”).
Congratulations (“Hip-hip, hurray!!!”; “Maestro, music!”; “Kiss on the cheek”).
Sport (“From start to finish”; “Exactly in the ring!”; “Our hundred-meter race”; “In spite of the records”).
Squad list (“Meet us, it’s us!”; “Bah, all the faces are familiar!”).
our song (“And we sing...”; “Come on, sing us a song, cheerful wind”; “Musical gramophone”).
Our achievements (“The country must know its heroes”; “Our ups and downs”).
All sorts of things (“And you know that everything is different...”).
Very important information (“Soon in the detachment”; “What they write in the newspapers”).
Our mood (“Mood Tree”).
Book of complaints and suggestions (“Barrel of complaints and suggestions”; “Lake of trust”; “Squad mail”).
Squad laws (“Everyone should definitely know this by five”).
Based on the name of the squad, we will design a squad corner so that it attracts the attention of others with its unusual, bright, interesting appearance.
Headings, titles, texts - they should be literate, interesting in content, but it should be remembered that everyone who reads them is influenced by how they are written. Color and font are what play an important role.
Letters can be multi-colored, striped, polka dot, flowered, etc. The font used to write the text must match the nature of the content. (View samples)
“Designing a squad corner”
Squad corner It is best to draw it up on a piece of Whatman paper (A-1).
Let's choose the name of the detachment corner. I suggest choosing a name for the junior squad “Sun”.
If the squad is called “Sun”, then you definitely need to draw a cheerful Sun on the poster. (Showing an image of the sun).
The drawing is ready, now let's write the title using the font. Let me remind you that the text must correspond to the nature of the content. Let's look at the drawing - it's a sun, which means the letters can be multi-colored, polka dots, flowers, etc..
WITH ABOUT L N Y Sh TO ABOUT
Let's add the squad's motto, chant and song to the squad corner. We can use a free-form font. To ensure that the font is even, we use additional stripes (they can be smooth, wavy, wider at one end, etc.).

The most important thing in the design of a squad corner is, of course, the headings. For our corner, I propose the following sections: “Meet us, this is us!”, “The country should know its heroes”, “Soon in the detachment”, “Laws of the detachment”, “Today at our fire”, “Kiss on the cheek”. Each section is designed in a square, rectangle, oval, or in the shape of a flower, sun, butterfly, etc. Free writing font. (Showing different sections).
We got this poster! Which will decorate the squad corner in the camp shift.
Thus, summer is a period favorable for the development of the child’s physical and spiritual strength, the formation of his valuable personal qualities, for the manifestation of creativity and independence in actions, choice and evaluation of his actions. Decorating squad corners in a summer camp is an exciting and educational educational activity that unites all participants in the pedagogical process during the holiday period.
"Squad corners"
A lot has changed in the lives of children in the camp, but children are children. They are still interested in the successes of their squad, the results of sports and creative events, they like to read witty advice from teachers, compare ratings for cleanliness in their ward, find out what day of the week it is and the weather forecast, who is from the squad and what they have accomplished over the past a day to distinguish yourself and what interesting things will happen in the life of the squad in the near future. The squad corner tells the guys about this and much more. It is sometimes called both a diary and an information book. But the meaning is the same - it reflects the activities of the detachment and its participation in the life of the camp.
The corner is the place where all information regarding the squad is collected. The design of the corner should correspond to the name of the unit (and the age of the children, of course). The corner can be placed on one sheet of whatman paper, but if possible, it can occupy the entire wall in the hall, or you can even decorate the entire hall in accordance with the name of the unit.
In addition to the mandatory content, you can hang absolutely everything related to the squad in the corner (For example: drawings after a caricature competition, gratitude, angry sheets, a treasure map after searching for treasure). Design options can be very different, and are limited only by your imagination: flat, voluminous , sliding, with rotating parts or hanging elements, and you can use anything as a material, not just paper.
The most important thing is that the corner should be largely created by children (of course, if the children are very small, you can limit yourself to only minor elements on their part). The counselor should mainly take part in leadership and guidance (give out tasks to children who want them, and then put all the parts together and “file them”).
As a rule, in the first days (for the corner competition) only the base of the corner is made, containing the necessary elements, and it is filled in throughout the shift. Before leaving, the children simply “with their hands” take the corner apart piece by piece as a keepsake - so if the corner is large, then there will be enough for everyone to take a piece, and there will be no fight. After all, all the “life” of the squad for a shift remains in the corner and each piece reminds of something.
The corner must contain:
- squad name
- squad motto
- squad song
- club schedule
- daily routine (camp and squad)
- lists of children (by the way, in the first days you can place a diagram like who “lives” where in the unit, so that the children better friend remembered a friend);
- lists of birthday people of the current shift
- camp address, squad code (if there is enough space)
- certificates and awards of the detachment (hanged during the shift)
The squad corner is designed to: develop the activity of children, broaden their knowledge in many ways, help in cultivating good taste, teach the culture of design, and awaken interest in the life of their team.
The squad corner is a place where the squad constantly works and a stand that reflects the life of the squad. The successes and victories of the detachment, their fantasies, ingenuity, skill are constantly presented here; this is a kind of newspaper, and a constantly operating, lively, creative one.
The squad corner is the creativity of you and the children, but nevertheless, there are some recommendations that will help you:
- The corner should be “talking”, i.e. the content and its sections must be updated (new children's drawings, new issues of the camp newspaper, etc. must appear)
- The corner should comprehensively describe the life of the unit (self-service, sports, participation in camp life, awards, birthdays, prospects).
- Children should take part in decorating the corner and updating the content of the headings. In the work on the corner, three periods can be distinguished:
- children's arrival at the camp during the organizational period;
- main period;
- the final period of the shift.
Before the arrival of new guys, all sections are filmed in the corner. And new temporary headings are drawn up (necessary only for the organizational period):
- “This is our camp” (brief information about the camp);
- congratulations on your arrival;
- camp laws;
- camp address;
- punishment for the guys from the previous shift;
- first songs, camp song;
- plan for the day and other sections at the discretion of the teacher.
During the organizing period, you can hold a competition for best design corner. Creative Group selects the best proposals, discusses and makes a layout of the corner in accordance with the new name and motto, revealing the idea of the content of the name of his squad.
During the main period of the shift, the daily activities of the detachment are reflected:
- competitions,
- preparation for detachment and squad affairs, holidays,
- participation in creative competitions and shows.
- preparation for squad duty, squad duty,
- life of the squad
- encouraging children.
During the final period of the shift, the section “How We Lived” can be presented with photographs or the guys’ thoughts about their days. Many Teachers attach a piece of Whatman paper with the inscription next to the detachment corner, and in the end I will say, and the children write goodbye wishes to each other and to the camp.
In fact, there are detachment corners, probably in all camps, but sometimes you want to add your own peculiarity that distinguishes them from others.
So, let's get creative... ;)
- The squad corner should preferably completely occupy all the walls in the hall;
- Accordingly, you should try to provide the necessary amount of paper (for example, draw instead of paper on old wallpaper) and paints;
- Of course, it remains obligatory to have all the necessary sections in the squad corner: squad list, name, grid plan, Congratulations, Shame, Today in the squad (which must be filled out every day, especially on commission days). The sections can have any form;
- In junior units, it is usually completed on the last night before the deadline, and always all night until the morning (if you manage to draw before the morning, then take your time, draw more carefully, otherwise it will turn out badly);
- You cannot apply detachment corners to the wall with glue or even toothpaste, but only with transparent tape, and then at the end of the shift, very carefully tear off the tape from the wall (i.e., so that a piece of this very wall does not come off with the tape);
- During your shift, carefully protect your creation from children and others. natural Disasters, otherwise, firstly: commissions come at the end of the shift, and, most importantly, at any moment someone may need your squad corner or some part of it for the decorations of some camp event or counselor concert.
Squad corners can be different:
- colorful and beautiful (usually among junior units);
- short and concise (for counselors lacking imagination, or for lazy ones);
- very original (for example, consisting of the contents of a trash can, creatively stuck on the wall);
- very impressive (made using a volleyball net, rope, etc.);
- long-drawn (as, for example, some people finish drawing their corners at the end of their shift, although it usually turns out very beautifully);
The names of detachment corners can also be different:
- simple and mean nothing (such as Brigantine, Eaglet, etc.);
- with a hidden meaning (for example: Iknodop - read it backwards);
- directly characterizing the detachment (Cast Iron Elka, Blatnye Russula);
- very majestic (Libra of Humanity);
- as well as names invented by the children themselves (very rarely).
Let's consider the process of creating a corner with children approximately 12-14 years old. First of all, you need to decide what it is for. When creating it, many goals are pursued:
- Start to unite the squad, identifying the talents of children and involving them in collective creativity on a voluntary (!!!) basis.
- Decorate the room where the squad gathers. Agree, looking at bare walls is not very interesting.
- Get a place where you can have an interactive life.
- Get rid of your superiors (the last thing in importance).
Now in more detail. What exactly needs to be completed? For example, these could be two walls measuring 2.5*7 meters. Agree, a lot of space. And I wanted to fill it all out. Of course, not so that the walls are not visible at all, but also sculpt an A4 sheet of paper for 1 sq.m. not a big deal either.
All creativity must take place together with the squad. The ideal case is when you only have to control the process, sometimes giving advice and helping where necessary, but this rarely happens. Most often it is necessary to be fully armed at all times. It’s good to come up with the name of the squad on the very first evening, gathering the squad for a candle and having a heart-to-heart conversation. Even if you have at least a dozen ready-made squad names, you should always give the children a chance to prove themselves. After all, if during the shift the child sees works of his own creativity every day, then this will only be a plus. After a heated discussion of the name, you can move on to the design. Usually the name is written in large letters at the top so as not to look too hard, but there can always be exceptions. Then there is room for your imagination on what to place and where. Most often this results in many large drawings revealing the name of the unit. Or one VERY large one, for names like "Express" or "Caravelle". The process of creation itself is going great for children. The main thing is to do this not through forced hard labor, but through the provision of high trust. Let some make sketches of future drawings, others create a future masterpiece with a pencil and eraser, others outline it with a black marker, then someone paints it, cuts it out and sculpts it on the wall. And it’s okay if they get dirty with paint, smear paint in the wrong place, or accidentally cut off the crane’s head. Let this process be a joy for them, because they are just learning to do everything on their own. But then he will say with pride, “I carved this!!!”, and not just say that “The counselors decorated the hall beautifully...”
Let's go through the mandatory points separately.
- Plan for the day - if you follow it, you will be spared the eternal childish question “What are we doing today?” They will know that all the information can be found in the lobby, and there is no need to look for a counselor.
- The plan for the shift is the same, but for long-term planning, so as not to organize “Zarnitsa” on a bath day.
- Congratulations - celebrating the successes of the squad and individuals.
- It’s a shame - we hope we won’t have to use this, but it can be used to spur the guilty. It’s just necessary to put it this way so that he doesn’t brush it off: “Yes, I’m hanging in Shame again, so be it,” but so that this is a small tragedy for the child, and a reason to think and improve.
- Squad list - preferably in two versions. First: everyone was written out in a row, without any frills. Needed to quickly find a child (parents have come to visit, etc.) when you need to identify a squad. And it will be useful for you yourself, because if you remember the names, then the situation with surnames is usually worse.
- And the second option: a separate list. It's no secret that in the morning last day During the shift, the wall is greeted completely empty - during the night the children take away everything for themselves as a souvenir, sometimes filling in the drawing from the very beginning of the shift. And everyone wants to keep such a piece for themselves. Therefore, they often do this: the name of each child is written on a separate cloud, star, ball, and the like. It’s already good, there’s something to take with you. We can go further. In one of the shifts, each child can have their own “business” (comic), hung in disarray on the wall. This was interesting to read/consider, and the memory of the shift is much more significant, details are immediately remembered, which can rarely be with clouds. It would not be a shame to even hang such a thing on the wall at home.
- Daily routine - so that there are no complaints later, “Why go to bed so early?”, or “What time is lunch?” Everything is reflected.
Other service announcements can be posted in this area. For example, the grid of a chess tournament, or an arm wrestling competition. Flocks of kids will constantly gather there, discussing the chances of this or that candidate. And a mood chart, for children or a counselor.
Each hall should have some kind of zest. Even if he is 10 times beautiful, in a couple of days he will be thoroughly studied and interest in him will cool down. Therefore, it is necessary to create entire works of art that you want to look at again and again.
Decoration of the corner
The first contribution to the design of the squad corner is made by the counselors: they prepare a welcome newspaper - as a sign of goodwill, joyful anticipation of a new meeting with the guys. The first such message should be as colorful, inviting and informative as possible! Who are our counselors, what do they do, what do they do, what do they dream about, why can we trust them?
Also, the squad corner traditionally contains:
- brief information about the camp (preferably with bright photos);
- daily routine (so that the guys don’t get tormented by constant questions: “Why is it so early to exercise?” or “Is it lights out already???”);
- camp address and telephone number for parents;
- cleanliness rating - “Clean” - this makes it easier to ensure that the guys keep the rooms in order, because who would like to receive a sad smiley face or a core - badges with a low rating instead of a smiling face or the sun, a strawberry, etc.?
- “The Laws of the Squad” or “The 10 Most Important Words of the Squad.” It is important to do this together with the children. They themselves must display here what is really important and valuable to them. These rules or agreements will work better than those imposed by adults.
The “Birthday People” section is good. If there are no guys in the squad who were born on this shift, you can indicate the dates of birth of famous writers, actors, and musicians. We recommend attaching a cheerful envelope so that the “hero of the occasion” can find some nice little thing there on his birthday: messages, congratulations, holiday telegrams from the guys and counselors! You can also make a calendar (this is more understandable for the guys than a grid plan), which would reflect the main events awaiting the guys during the shift.
The keyword of the detachment corner is the name and number of the detachment. You need a motto/slogan, a symbol, a chant, or better yet several. It is very important that certificates and awards, honestly earned by the children in various competitions and competitions, do not gather dust on the counselors’ desks or in the children’s lockers, where for some reason they inevitably get wrinkled! At the beginning of the shift, it is worth agreeing that all achievements (squad and personal) will be posted and stored in the squad corner, and at the end of the shift they will definitely be distributed to the most active ones - this is a good incentive! In the squad corner, you should definitely pay attention to the theme of the shift. For example, if this is a film festival, then the corner itself can be designed in the form of a poster, and you can also place photos of your favorite actors there, and perhaps arrange a hit parade or popularity rating. If this is an international shift, then the place will have information about the country from which the children came, a flag, a coat of arms and even an anthem. If it's a culinary shift, use interesting recipes. There are no restrictions here: everything that is interesting to children can and should be used in the squad corner. At the beginning and end of the shift, the guys usually draw newspapers, where they write, respectively, about their expectations and impressions of the holiday. These newspapers also become part of the squad corner. Various drawings, wishes, advice, letters - all this can create a unique exclusive style for the squad corner.
Together, come up with fun titles for the sections, preferably even funny ones, the main thing is that they attract attention so that you want to read and remember!
For example:
· Shift plan/calendar – “Joyful paths of summer”, “Our strategy”; · Congratulations – “Kiss on the cheek”, “Hip – hip – hurray”; · Sports – “From start to finish”, “Despite the records”; · Squad list – “Meet us,” “Our party”; · Our song – “And we sing...”, “Musical gramophone”; · Address – “Where to find us”, “Come visit us”; · Achievements – “The country should know its heroes!”, “Our ups and downs”; · All sorts of things – “Did you know that...”, “All sorts of different things...”; · Coming soon to the squad – “News”, “What they write in the newspapers”; · Laws, squad rules - “Everyone should definitely know this with an A”, “Code of Justice”;
Conclusions: the squad corner should be bright and positive. Consist of many elements to attract attention. The more fun, colorful and rich it is, the better and more favorable the children’s impression will be.
How to create a squad newspaper?
When and why? During the organizational period (the first three days of the shift), it is very important to introduce and make friends with the guys, provide them with a field for joint creativity, and the opportunity to experience their first success. It is he who inspires and inspires to new achievements! Creating a squad newspaper is exactly what you need. Who? Children draw a newspaper. Even if they don't know how to draw. there is a job for everyone. The effect of complicity is important! You can work using the collage technique - laying out compositions from clippings. One group selects pictures, another group cuts them out, and the third group sticks them on. Someone comes up with a motto (slogan).
What else can be depicted in a newspaper? The name is large enough to be easily read and bright. The name of the newspaper-detachment is chosen by the guys themselves, the counselors only coordinate this process so that the name matches the general image of the detachment and age group. It is important to communicate, convince, and argue.
The slogan is short, succinct, preferably with a rhyme, so that it can be used as a chant. In general, avoid “classic” already hackneyed themes - all this should be exclusive, created for your children! Relevant for them, quite modern.
Information about each child: name, city, where he came from, hobbies. Even more interesting are the expectations from the shift, how he/she would like to see his squad. Children write all this on their own. Be there to help with spelling. in order to place all this on one squad newspaper, you need to choose a suitable original form: a sun with rays, a sunflower, a bowl of fruit, a ship, palms, hearts (you can hang them from the main canvas even on strings of ribbons), an album of business cards, a penguin with a pocket containing fish with information for each child - and these are just examples.
What should the background be like? Not just white. The newspaper should be informative, so the background is also a signal! Select a tone and rub in with fine pencil shavings or crayons. You can initially tint with a light watercolor haze, and then just make the contours brighter. When children work, counselors actively observe how interaction occurs, who is more active, who is creative...
This is how, with the help of a squad newspaper alone, you can solve many important problems. Go for it!
Another ruble option for a squad corner
- Calendar.
- Plan for change (Plan-grid, Firewood for the fire - our business. It’s not evening yet. Not a day without a joke. Happy summer paths, Our strategy, Breakfast, etc.).
- Today (Start the day with Sprite, Today at our fire. The day is boring until the evening, if there is nothing to do, And today we have.... New Da, Today).
- Congratulations (Hip-hip-hurray!!!. Maestro, music! Kiss on the cheek.
- Sports (From start to finish. Right in the ring. Our hundred-meter dash, In spite of records, Physical training).
- Daily regime.
- Squad list (Meet us; Our party; Bah, all the familiar faces).
- Over the hill (In other delights. Over the mountains, beyond the valleys, And at this time with the neighbors).
- Our song (And we sing..., Come on, sing a song to us, cheerful wind. Musical gramophone).
- Our address (Where to find us. Come visit us). Phone number and full address of the camp.
- Mood screen.
At the end of the organizational period, your squad may have a “work corner”. It will include all the art of the squad, as well as:
- “Team name”;
- Motto, squad song;
- Completed declaration;
- Wall of Publicity;
- Mailbox;
- Grid plan with planning results;
- Category: “These are the songs we sing.”
Gradually, your detachment place will be “overgrown” with all sorts of new and interesting ideas, you can supplement it with work from guys from other shifts.
At the end of the shift, your corner can turn into a “farewell” corner.
