The Public Chamber has made an ideal play set for kindergarten

The list of games and toys recommended for use in kindergartens should include board games, puzzles, construction kits, and folk toys. This opinion was expressed by Olga Golyshenkova, Chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation on education, upbringing and protection of historical memory.

According to the expert, preschool institutions primarily need safe and meaningful educational materials. This list should include mosaics, dolls, sets for story-based role-playing games, as well as toys dedicated to professions, nature, transport and folk crafts.

"The game should develop speech, thinking, fine motor skills, the ability to interact with peers, imagination and independence," she said in an interview with TASS.

The head of the commission paid special attention to the book part of the list. She emphasized that the works of Russian classics and folklore form the basis of the child's spiritual world. Golyshenkova recommended that Russian folk tales and fairy tales of the peoples of Russia be included in the programs to introduce children to traditional values.

"The works of Korney Chukovsky, Samuel Marshak, Agnia Barto, Sergei Mikhalkov, Nikolai Nosov, Vitaly Bianchi and other authors, whose texts have been tested by time, are the foundation on which the spiritual world of a child grows," she noted.

At the same time, the expert added that the list should not be limited to classical literature only. It should have a place for modern high-quality publications that speak in an understandable language about family, friendship, responsibility and love for the Motherland. Golyshenkova summarized that all game and educational materials must comply with the norms of age development and be careful of children's perception.

It was noted that the need for such a list was identified by the educators themselves. Currently, the Ministry of Education is updating the federal state educational standard for preschool education (FGOS DO), where it is planned to include the corresponding list.
