Fragment of a summary of a musical lesson based on the fairy tale “Teremok” in the senior group (author Alevtina Glotova)

In the lesson, fairy tale characters will be voiced with musical instruments.

The teacher begins the lesson with a greeting and an introductory word:

• Guys, do you like fairy tales? I also really love fairy tales.
• What fairy tales do you know? (Children's answers).
• Listen to the riddle and guess what kind of fairy tale it is? The fox found a home for herself, the mouse was kind, and in that house, in the end, there were many tenants.
• What fairy tale is this riddle talking about? That's right, this is the Russian folk tale "Teremok". And today I invite you to voice this tale with musical instruments.

Next, all the characters in the fairy tale are analyzed and a suitable musical instrument is selected for each:

• Little mouse, what musical instrument can we use to represent a mouse? Of course, with a rattle - sprinkles;
• Frog-wah - with musical hammers;
• Runaway bunny - with wooden spoons;
• Little fox-sister - metallophone;
• Wolf - gray tail - rattles, tambourines;
• Bear - drum.

Next, the roles are distributed among the children and musical instruments are distributed. The teacher begins to read the fairy tale, and the children voice the characters with musical instruments when they appear.

• There is a teremok in the field - a teremok, It is not low, not high, not high. Like a mouse running across a field, a field, stopped at the door, ringing the bell.
• The mouse rings the bell, but the door to the little house does not open. The teacher draws the children's attention to the fact that the tower has a note that says that the tower is magical.
• Guys, the tower is not simple, but magical. To enter it, you need to complete a task. Look, here are the cards with diagrams on them. We told you that a mouse can be represented by rattles - sprinkles. The mouse must find its diagram and play what is written there.
• Well done, mouse, why did you choose this scheme? Of course, there is a rattle on it.
• The mouse plays according to the scheme, the door to the little house opens.
• Well done Mouse, you completed the task, go into the little house.

The mouse and the frog are voiced. Next comes a physical training session:

• Like our neighbor (the children turn to each other and bow), the conversation was fun. Ghouls in the gusli (squat, pretend to play the gusli), Ducks in the pipes (stand up, bend back, turn from side to side), Sheep in the Donets (clap their hands, pretend to play the tambourine), Cockroaches in the drums (march, pretend to play on the drum). They play very happily and make each other laugh.
• Well done! Meanwhile, the fairy tale continues.

Further in the text of the tale the fox, wolf and bear are voiced.

Preschoolers will be interested in voicing characters from an already familiar fairy tale.

After finishing reading, the teacher says:

• Was it an interesting fairy tale? Of course, interesting, what new did you learn today?
• All fairy tale heroes can be depicted with musical instruments. I want to give you a treble clef so that music will always sound for you. Now let’s say goodbye and head back to the group.

Musical and entertaining leisure time for older preschoolers

Leisure plays an important role in children's lives. Classes of this type are held in a relaxed atmosphere and develop children’s creativity and independence. Parents and children from other groups can be present and participate in the process. Children receive a great boost of energy when they use sports games and competitions that involve active movements.

Musical entertainment can take place in a relaxed atmosphere, or it can involve active forms of activity.

An important point is the preparation of mass musical and entertainment leisure events, during which costumes are prepared, rehearsals are held, dances and songs are learned.
