May 9 is a holy holiday for Russian citizens. On this day, people remember the terrible war and the price that was paid for the victory. To tell the kids about it, this date is perfect. But of course, so that all this does not turn into a duty for the younger generation, it is necessary to pay attention to veterans not only on this day.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the ways to tell your child about the suffering of people who lived through that time is to communicate with veterans. It is often easier for older people with children to find contact than parents. It is always more interesting for a child to listen to the stories of eyewitnesses who will choose the right words and tell true stories, conveying true feelings.
Step 2
Tell us about your ancestors who fought. Focus in your story on the very young age of the soldiers who went to war. In the stories, constantly mention that those who are now called heroes were at that time of the same age ordinary guys with their own interests.
Step 3
Kindergarten, school - those places where teachers can tell the child about those harsh days, while organizing a thematic performance. Such events leave a deep mark in the child's soul, forcing him to live and feel his own piece of military life. The presence of spectators and like-minded people brings together and helps to plunge deeper into the war era, come to such a concert with the whole family. Prepare for such an event with your child. Help me learn songs of the war years, find or sew a military uniform.
Step 4
A striking visual example of the memory of the war is mass graves, a monument to the Grieving Mother. Visit these places with your child, lay flowers at the Eternal Flame, carefully examine the inscriptions on the stone slabs. On this day, there will definitely be veterans, let your children give them flowers and congratulate them on the holiday. You can go to the cemetery and clean up the neglected graves of the dead soldiers.
Step 5
The Museum of Military Glory could be another event. It is better for this one to be in the open air. Here, children will be allowed to touch the steel giants, get acquainted with their combat characteristics, listen to interesting stories related to this military equipment, and watch an exciting video.
Step 6
If you still have desire and strength, you can end the day by watching a good movie. To view, select a picture that is understandable for children and adults. Let it be a family movie, because children and parents rarely watch movies together.
