Date in 2019: June 1st, Saturday.

Children are looking forward to the start of summer. After all, this is not just the arrival of warmth and the opportunity for a great holiday, it is a real holiday, since the long-awaited and long holidays have arrived. But not all kids’ lives are so carefree and joyful. Thousands of children suffer from incurable diseases or domestic violence, do not have normal nutrition and living conditions, and some are even forced to independently find ways to survive. These and others are acute standing questions childhood became problems of global scale, which is why a special holiday is dedicated - Children's Day, which, by the will of fate, coincided with the first day of summer.

They say that a person's fate is completely in his hands. But there are many aspects that influence how things turn out adulthood, depend on what your childhood was like. After all, a baby comes into this world absolutely defenseless and helpless. And only actions, deeds, love of loved ones and others enable the baby not only to survive, but also to learn all the joys and sorrows of life. Unfortunately, the children's world is not as carefree as adults would like. It was the versatility of childhood and its current problems that became the reason for organizing a holiday dedicated to children.

history of the holiday

Today, International Children's Day, June 1, is celebrated in many countries. And for the first time it officially began to be celebrated in 1950. But the history of the holiday begins much earlier. For the first time, issues related to the current problems of childhood were raised by women in 1925 at the World Conference, which was held in Geneva. At the beginning of the century, the public was concerned about the problems of street children, orphans, and poor medical care. But the idea did not receive widespread public support.

It was for orphans in San Francisco that the Chinese consul organized a holiday that went down in history as the festival of floating dragons. This large-scale event took place on June 1. According to one version, it was this event that became decisive when choosing which day to celebrate the childhood holiday in the future.

The issues of children's well-being became acute issues for the public in the post-war years. Therefore, in 1949, the Women's Congress again put forward the idea of ​​​​establishing a special holiday. At the conference, a unanimous decision is made to direct all efforts to fight for peace for the sake of a happy childhood for all children and teenagers on the planet.

And already in 1950 new holiday celebrated in many countries, and on a large scale.

Symbolism of the holiday

The main symbol of the holiday is the green flag. It depicts our planet, on which children's figures of different races and nationalities are located. They extend their hands to each other, symbolizing unity and friendship as the only opportunity for development and peace.

Symbolism of the holiday

But there are also more specific symbols. Yes, under the image white flower On June 1, a campaign is held to raise funds for seriously ill children.

And under the symbol in the form of a white lily, actions are held in support of reproductive medicine, which gives thousands of babies a chance to be born.

A holiday for every child

The word holiday itself is associated with joy, fun, and happiness. And, indeed, for many kids, June 1 in 2017 will be unforgettable.

But this holiday also has a downside, which is perhaps much more important than the idea of ​​fun itself. The main goal of Children's Day is to focus public attention and ordinary people on real children's problems. This idea is directly present in the name of the holiday. Therefore, it is important to think about what children need to be protected from.

Sad facts of world statistics:

• 100 million children do not have the opportunity to study because there are simply no schools nearby;
• 15 million children became orphans after losing one or more parents due to AIDS;
• 10 million die every year due to lack of access to health facilities and medicines;
• 300 thousand - forced to participate in wars, real ones, not computer or toy ones;
• millions of children do not have housing or proper nutrition;

And in developing countries, the practice of exploiting child labor as cheap labor and even child slavery has persisted.

It was this state of affairs in the world that became the basis for the appearance of some documents that spell out children's freedoms and rights.

All children's rights and freedoms are reflected in the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1959. This document is a call to recognize the rights of every child and respect them. It must be strictly observed by parents, public organizations and authorities.

After 30 years, in 1989, the “Convection on the Rights of the Child” was established, which defines all the rights of small citizens, as well as the responsibilities of adults.

These documents have been ratified in many countries. But this did not solve all children's problems.

Children of Russia

Several organizations in Russia are involved in protecting the rights of minors and helping mothers who find themselves in difficult situations. First of all, this is the UNICEF Children's Fund, which has been operating since 1997.

Children's rights are protected at the legislative level Federal law No. 124 “On guarantees of children’s rights in the Russian Federation.” But even the care of the state and public organizations cannot solve all problems.

Today there are more than 30 million children living in our country, and only 12% are absolutely healthy. Many require care and expensive treatment. Moreover, the problem of psychological health is acute. Aggression, vandalism and suicide are common occurrences among children and adolescents.

And how many children are born in Russia with congenital defects due to the fault of the parents themselves. The heirs of alcoholics and drug addicts are left without care immediately after birth, having received a whole range of incurable pathologies from their parents. And among teenagers, almost half are already addicted to alcohol and drugs.

There are plenty of problems in relatively prosperous families too. First of all, it is a lack of attention. Parents' concern lies in material support, and the baby sorely lacks the warmth and affection of loved ones. Teenagers grow up early and receive unnecessary and sometimes dangerous information from the Internet.

In low-income and large families The issue of material support is acute. Indeed, often in such families, despite all the efforts of caring parents, children lack basic things, including food and living conditions.

We can safely say that children's problems concern every adult, regardless of social status, age and financial support. Therefore, the children's holiday has become very popular in Russia and is supported by many government and public organizations, as well as simply caring people. Many charity events are dedicated to this day.

Traditions: how to organize a children's party

June 1st is a great occasion to organize fun party for children.

Congratulations to children in verse and prose

On Children's Day, create for your kids festive mood. Let them laugh and enjoy life, catch sunbeams and do their favorite things. With your family and friends, create a real fun holiday with games, entertainment and congratulate all the kids. Don't forget about those little ones who are deprived of care. Let this day become unforgettable for them, filled with festive joys.

Every child has every right to childhood, to a carefree and happy time. And it depends only on the adults what it will be like. After all, all babies are vulnerable and defenseless. On Children's Day, I really want all the kids, without exception, to feel loved, needed and protected. And so that they never face indifference, cruelty, early adulthood and unnecessary information flow. Let troubles and wars, illnesses and anxieties pass them by.

On this warm summer day,

When the breeze whispers,

Everyone needs to be warmed up

Boys and girls.

Let their smiles shine

And they spread through laughter,

Exclamations and cries of happiness,

We love them all very much.

Children are our treasure

Our heart and joy,

This is our pride, joy,

Happiness and also a reward.

On a day when protection is needed,

I wish with all my heart,

So that the kids sleep soundly,

And, of course, they didn’t get sick.

To make the sun smile,

And they knew no troubles, no worries.

To grow up happily

Easy things are always dear to them.

Songs performed by the group "Barbariki"

Game "Locomotive"

Carlson runs away from the children. They, imitating a train, run after him. The essence of the game is that the clown abruptly changes its trajectory: it runs in zigzags, rushes from side to side, and the children must change lanes in time and not lose the “cars”.

Game "Nose, Floor, Heaven"

Carlson: How attentive are you
We want to check.
Let's look at the heavens
Let's touch the nose, floor. We want
May you be skillful
And always dexterous.
Get ready soon!
The game is already waiting for you!

Carlson invites children to listen carefully to his commands and point where he says. At the same time, he gradually begins to confuse the children, saying, for example, “nose”, while pointing to the floor. The Kid helps him. The game develops attention.

Drawing competition

Carlson: Colored chalks on gray asphalt
Children draw their own fairy-tale world.
Smiles, princesses, flowers, dinosaurs,
Cars, balls, scooters. Hooray!
It’s summer, vacation, happiness outside,
Walks, friends. The sun gives warmth.
Let every little person
It will be cozy and bright all your life!
Let adult everyday life
Not gray asphalt
They will become for them
A colorful adventure.
Let there be less
They are upset
Health to the kids
And good childhood!

Baby: I want to add to these words:
We, your children, can handle anything,
Just praise us, adults, more often
And smile -
This will make life brighter!
