Modern adolescents cannot be compared with children of past decades. The guys have changed their interests and priorities. But some things remain the same. So, many children like to spend time with their peers, attend summer camps, and participate in interesting contests. An integral part of camp life is a detachment area. There are many ways to make it bright and beautiful.
What is a squad corner?
This is the place where everything related to a particular detachment gathers. Here can be crafts, drawings, wall newspapers. During the shift, the filling of the corner may change. The options for organizing this place can be very different. It is important that the detachment area reflects the lifestyle of the children. Just looking at him, the parents of the children should understand what their children are doing in the camp.
Detachment area in the camp should be done exclusively by children. Counselors and educators can only guide the children in the right direction. But to do all the work for the children is categorically impossible. However, a small clearance should be present before the children arrive at the camp. Teachers can make a wall newspaper greet their pupils. There may also be a camp charter (rules of conduct).
Making a squad wall newspaper
One of the first collective creative deeds of the children is the creation of their own wall newspaper, which will adorn the squad corner throughout the shift. It’s important that all children create this attribute. It is unacceptable to entrust the creation of a newspaper to one child who has creative abilities. One will draw, the other will tell where it is better to place a newspaper, the third will come up with an interesting name for the detachment and a motto. Only joint creativity will be able to show a really good result.
In addition to the name of the detachment and the motto, the newspaper should definitely indicate the birthday of the shift. Here you can make a pocket in which the guys will leave wishes or anonymous notes to each other. Joint creativity at the beginning of the shift will help children get to know each other faster, and the guys will make new friends.
Laws and regulations of the camp
Making a detachment in the camp can not do without rules of conduct. Children should know how to behave, which is absolutely impossible. If the guys take part in the beautiful design of the set of rules, they will definitely remember them. This section of the detachment area is also recommended to be performed together.
The code of practice can be placed on a separate wall newspaper. What should be the detachment area in the camp? Design examples are presented in the photo. You can indicate camp laws on the wall newspaper. First of all, it is worth pointing out that the guys should not leave the camp without the knowledge of counselors and educators. Be sure to describe the rules of conduct in the forest, near the reservoir. We must not forget about the traditions of good relations. Guys should be tolerant of each other. A reminder of this should be in the wall newspaper.
The rules of conduct and the laws of the camp can be represented in the form of small comics. Thus, boring teachings will be remembered by children more quickly. In the middle of such a newspaper, the regime of the day can be placed, which the guys must adhere to throughout the shift. This information will be useful to parents who come to visit their children. They will understand when the children relax or go to the river.
Shift calendar
Rest in the summer children's camp is always filled with interesting events and vibrant events. The heads of the children's institution draw up a rough plan before the children come on vacation. The task of the pupils and tutors is to beautifully arrange the calendar so that the camp guests understand what will happen and when. As a rule, in the afternoon, general events are held for all units. And before lunch, the guys together with the teachers decide on their own what to do. But in this case, careful planning is of great importance.
A calendar of team events is recommended for a week in advance. It is better if it will be games and competitions in the fresh air. The calendar can include volleyball, football, a team fashion show (clothing made from natural materials), a talent contest, etc. The action plan will also decorate the team corner. And you can execute it, as in previous cases, in the form of a wall newspaper.
Events can be scheduled in a table with dates. You can leave a few colored pencils near the wall newspaper. The children will shade the past day with a color that reflects their mood. If most of the days will be painted in gray tones, educators need to think about the mood of the guys.
Hall of Fame
If we consider examples of detachable corners, almost everywhere you can see a board of honor. This is a special place where names are indicated or photographs of children who take first places in the camp contests are posted. On the board of honor, you should definitely leave a place for wishes. Children will congratulate the pupil who has achieved success.
Some units decide to place a shame board in their corner. Here are the names of guys who violate the rules of conduct. In most cases, children are afraid to get on such a board. She acts as an additional stimulator of compliance with the laws of the camp.
Duty Information
In most camps, children independently monitor the cleanliness in their rooms. Therefore, in the detachment corner, it is worthwhile to place a stand on which marks for duty will be set. As a rule, educators take into account the correctness of cleaning the beds, cleanliness in bedside tables and cabinets, and the presence of dust on windowsills and floors. To encourage children to better monitor cleanliness, many counselors come up with various rewards for the winners. For example, pupils who are better at cleaning the room can bathe in the pond for 10 minutes longer.
Cleaning is a boring and uninteresting task. But the stand with grades for cleanliness should be bright. To create a table, it is recommended to use bright markers and felt-tip pens.
Wish Card
Examples of the design of the detachment area may be different. In its central part, many hang a special card of emotions and wishes. At the beginning of the shift, this is a large white sheet of Whatman paper, which gradually fills up. Throughout the rest, the guys can take a felt-tip pen of any color and write their remark on the wish card, describe the mood. At the end of the shift, a white sheet of paper turns into a bright spot, according to which it is easy to assess how well the guys spent time in the camp.
There are still many ideas for creating a detachment corner. To make it vivid and memorable, it is important to include imagination and work collectively.
