Scenario for the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs. Holiday in a children's health camp: “Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs”
Every second Russian has a relative in Ukraine, every third Ukrainian has relatives in Belarus, and every fourth Belarusian knows a Pole or Slovak. We are all Slavs, and we celebrate June 25 and the unity of the Slavs.
Who are the Slavs
Probably few people don’t know who the Slavs are. Let's broaden our horizons by talking about some of the features of this group of peoples.
There is no greater community in the world than the Slavs. We inhabit the entire European and part of the Asian continent. Our compatriots live in all corners of the world. If you collect everyone who can be considered Slavs, then there will be about 370 million people in the world.
The Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs is celebrated by those who remember their roots, and who, at least indirectly, honor the people. Having once settled throughout Europe, the people of one community were divided into three groups: which included residents of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia; southern - territories of the countries of the Mediterranean coast of Europe, with the exception of the Greeks; Eastern - congenial Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians.
History of the Russians
Now, wondering where the roots of friendship and unity of the Slavs come from, few can answer unequivocally how it happened that so many different nationalities emerged from one nation. Historians only speculate on the true reasons for the settlement and division of one people, although there is still no reliable data.
Before the modern world, individual Slavic peoples lived very separately and did not have their own territory. Until the 19th century, everyone was gathered within the borders of the three largest empires. The only exceptions were the Montenegrins, who initially had an independent state, and the Lusatians, who occupied an autonomous region within Germany.
It was only after 1945 that many separate states were created that declared their intention to write their history within independent borders. Today, the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs is an opportunity to remember what unites different countries, different languages and faith, that we have the same roots of a large family tree that will never bend under the onslaught of invaders.
History of the holiday
It is difficult to determine the period when all the Slavs lived on the same territory and had a common language, culture and traditions. Some historians believe that this time was partially captured by the period of formation of Kievan Rus. Be that as it may, Cyril and Methodius are considered the ancestors, and their activities became the reason for the holiday Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs. The history of the Equal-to-the-Apostles people begins with the fact that these two holy martyrs streamlined all the church writing that existed at that time, as a result of which one language arose, called Old Church Slavonic.
Such different peoples with the same roots
For a long time, truly Slavic values changed under the influence of Western cultures. This could not but affect traditions, beliefs and holidays. For example, almost all Slavs are Christians, but the Bosnians stand out among them all. They converted to Islam back in the days when they were captured by the Ottoman Empire.
The Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs was created in order to revive what was lost hundreds of centuries ago, to remember those things in which our ancestors believed, and to finally begin to be proud of folk wisdom.
Where and how to celebrate
The tradition of celebrating the holiday began not so long ago. It was customary to celebrate June 25 as the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs. Every year the folk festival takes place in the place where the three borders of the most friendly Slavic states - Russia, Belarus and Ukraine - meet.
Our countries have always been closely connected. And this is reflected not only in the economic or political component. Borders have separated large families, separated brothers and sisters, and grandparents. And it is a pity that recently there has been an increase in tension in relations between two almost fraternal states - Ukraine and Russia. The hope was expressed that the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs in 2015 would be able to reduce the flaring fire of hostility.
So, the festival “Slavic Unity” is celebrated every year. The location of the general holiday is the point where the borders of three friendly states meet closest. Alternating, one of them receives guests.
How it was in past years
In 2013, the festival celebrated its anniversary. The guests were going to celebrate the unity of souls for the 45th time. This year's holiday was dedicated to another significant date - 1025 years have passed since the baptism of Rus'. The event was held in the Bryansk region of the Russian Federation.
In 2014, by coincidence, the holiday was again held outside the city of Klimov, in the Bryansk region.
But the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs in 2015 was held in the town of Loev, in the Gomel region of Belarus. Its holding coincided with the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
Festival 2016
It is not yet clear where Slavic Unity will be held this year. In theory, Ukraine should be the host in 2016, but due to the unstable situation on its territory, it is expected that Klimov will again be hosted in the Bryansk region. It is important for us to know the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs. Photos illustrating how the holiday takes place can be seen in our article.
Conclusion
We are all Slavs. And this is a nation very rich in culture and traditions. So let's not forget what flows in our blood, but be proud that our ancestors founded such powerful and strong states, created writing and opened the first schools. We are Slavs, and we are united!
Purpose of the holiday: developing in children a sense of tolerance, interest and respect for other national cultures. Fostering a sense of community, friendship and unity with people of Slavic nationalities.

How do we held"Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs" V our group(photo report) .
Friendship Day, unity of the Slavs,
We will celebrate with you today,
Friendship Day, unity of the Slavs,
It’s not for nothing that we invented this holiday.
We will be friends forever, for centuries,
And we will respect everyone in the world.
AND friendship the passing years will not erase
And they will the children are proud of their friendship!
Today June 25th is a holiday Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs. This holiday appeared after the collapse of the USSR, when all 15 republics became independent states, and fraternal Slavs - Ukrainians, Belarusians and Russians, in addition to their own freedom, felt a lack of communication among themselves. And it was accepted solution: so that peoples do not lose their connection, so that they continue be friends so as not to forget their roots, every year celebrate the holiday - Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs.
IN our kindergarten we too held various events dedicated to the Day friendship and unity of the Slavs. All of them were aimed at preserving the connection of times, transmission from generation to generation of original traditions, centuries-old culture Slavic peoples, customs and rituals. This is the examination and reproduction by children in the form of applications of patterns, ornaments, embroidery elements on a number of clothes Slavic peoples. Reading Ukrainian and Belarusian fairy tales, collective viewing of cartoons from the series "Ancient Rus'", literary quizzes on fairy tales of the peoples of Russia.
The purpose of our events is to strive to preserve friendly connections with representatives of different nations. To develop in children a sense of tolerance, interest and respect for other national cultures. Fostering a sense of community friendship and unity with people of Slavic nationalities. The guys learned about all this from the presentation.
As a result carried out During the work, the preschool pupils got acquainted with new folk games, which they then played.
For example: Golden Gate
This game is very dynamic and is designed not so much for the dexterity of its participants as for their luck. Rules "Golden Gate" following: two players stand opposite each other and join hands like this to make a gate. The rest of the participants join hands and take turns walking through them. The players making up the goal in this case humming:
Golden Gate
They don't always miss!
Saying goodbye for the first time
The second time is prohibited
And for the third time
We won't miss you!
After the song ends, they lower their hand, and those players who are caught also become gates. Thus, the chain of participants gradually decreases. The game ends the moment everyone becomes "gate".
Catch a fish
To win this game you need to have good reaction and speed. The point of this fun is that the participants form a circle, in the center of which stands "water" with a rope and rotates it along the floor around its axis. The participants' task is to jump over the rope. The one who catches it with the game is eliminated from the game.
This is a very active and fun game. According to her rules, you need to choose two participants: "monk" And "seller". Other players stand in a line, and the seller tells them any color in a whisper. After this, the following happens dialogue:
A monk walks into a paint store and says to the seller:
I'm a monk in blue pants, I came for paint. - For what?
The monk names the colors (eg red). If there is no such color, the seller answers:
There is no such thing! Jump along the red carpet, on one leg, you will find boots, wear them, and bring them back!
At the same time, the monk is given exercise: Walk like a duck or hop on one leg. If there is such a color, then the seller answers:
There is one! - What is the price? - Five rubles
After this, the monk slaps the seller’s palm five times). As soon as the last clap sounded, the participant - "dye" jumps up and runs around the line. If the monk catches up with him, he himself becomes "paint", and the one who was caught takes his place.
This is one of the most common variations of an active and physically developing game. Its participants disperse around the site, close their eyes, and hold their hands behind their backs. The host places an item in one player's hand to count "one, two, three" everyone opens their eyes. The hands of the participants remain behind their backs. The player who ends up with the item speaks: "I'm a salka". The rest of the participants must run away from him, jumping on one leg. The one touched "salka" he becomes "water". An important condition is that "salka" must also jump on one leg.
After such events, I would like to say that children need to be raised in the spirit of patriotism, love and pride for their Motherland. The happy faces of children living in a free country under a peaceful sky are the best confirmation of this!

- Ukrainians, Belarusians and Russians.
Slavic
The languages belong to the Satem family of Indo-European languages. In terms of syntax, morphology, vocabulary Slavic
The languages are quite close to the Baltic languages, and there are more common features between them than any other similar groups of languages.
However, independent Slavic For a very long time, states did not exist at all. By the middle of the 19th century Slavs formed the bulk of the 3 great states - the Russian, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires.
The beginning of writing in Slavic people are directly connected with the names of Cyril and Methodius, who ordered Slavic speech and organized writing.
Culture Slavs so rich that its traditions and heritage are enjoyed by all nations on earth. And this means that Slavs were a great people and we should rightfully be proud of our Slavic roots.

Our friendship, our faith
Will be with us forever,
Our strength, our will
Will never die!
And while it's shining on white
The sun is shining after us,
We wish all the Slavs
To be united forever!
Every year, Slavs all over the world celebrate the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs on June 25. In total there are about 270 million Slavs in the world.
This date is most widely celebrated by three friendly countries - Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. This holiday is truly national. It comes from common roots, cultural traditions and customs.
Slavs make up the bulk of the population of Europe. This holiday is celebrated by Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, Serbs, Slovaks, Slovenes, Belarusians, Czechs and Bulgarians. They celebrate it even if they currently live in other countries. Slavs make up the majority in countries such as Russia, Slovakia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, Macedonia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Montenegro, Croatia, Czech Republic. Russia is one of the largest states in which Slavs make up the vast majority of its inhabitants. Regional national-cultural associations make a great contribution to the unity of the Slavs. The activities of these organizations allow us to maintain the connection between times. They help pass on the original traditions, customs and rituals of the centuries-old culture of the Slavic peoples from generation to generation. At the same time, civil peace and harmony are strengthened.
Goals of creation and traditions for the holiday Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs
The Day of Slavic Unity was established to unite different branches of the Slavs and strengthen the connection between generations. It is designed to preserve the centuries-old friendship and culture of the Slavs.
On June 25, on the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs, heads of state traditionally congratulate the citizens of not only their country, but also all Slavic brothers on this significant date. The holiday makes Slavs all over the world remember their origins and roots. The Slavs represent the largest linguistic and cultural community of peoples in the world.
As part of the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs, various events are held that are aimed at developing friendly relations between the Slavic countries. According to written and archaeological sources, the Slavs already in the VI-VII centuries. lived in Central and Eastern Europe. Their lands extended from the Elbe and Oder rivers in the west to the upper reaches of the Dniester and the middle reaches of the Dnieper in the east.
Slavic peoples
Currently, the Slavs live across a vast territory of Southern and Eastern Europe and further east - all the way to the Russian Far East. There is also a Slavic minority in the countries of Western Europe, America, Transcaucasia and Central Asia.
It is customary to distinguish three branches of Slavic peoples. Western Slavs are: Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Kashubians and Lusatians. The South Slavs include: Bulgarians, Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, Herzegovinians, Macedonians, Slovenes and Montenegrins. Eastern Slavs: Belarusians, Russians and Ukrainians.
The problem of the origin and ancient history of the Slavs is one of the most difficult. The joint efforts of archaeologists, linguists, anthropologists, ethnographers and historians are aimed at solving it. Modern Slavic peoples have quite heterogeneous genetic origins. This can explain the complexity of ethnogenetic processes in Eastern Europe. These processes began tens of thousands of years ago, intensified during the Great Migration of Peoples in the 5th century and are still ongoing.
Slavic languages belong to a branch of the Indo-European family of languages. They belong to the Indo-European languages of the Satem group. The Baltic and Slavic languages, in terms of vocabulary, morphology and syntax, have many more similarities than any other group of Indo-European languages. The presence of a number of similar features in the Baltic and Slavic languages may indicate that in ancient times there was a Baltic-Slavic linguistic unity. For a long time there were no independent Slavic states.
In the second half of the 19th century, the Slavic peoples were part of three empires: Russian, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman. The only exceptions were Montenegrins and Lusatians. Montenegrins lived in the small independent state of Montenegro, and Lusatians lived in Germany. By the end of the 20th century, all Slavic peoples had already received state independence. The Slavic peoples owe the appearance of writing to Constantine and Methodius. It was they who streamlined the Slavic letter and completely adapted it for recording Slavic speech. A huge amount of work was done to create a book-written Slavic language, which later received the name Old Church Slavonic.
The Slavs have a very rich and diverse culture. She should be proud and show it to other peoples. However, for a long time it was not given much importance; everything Western was implanted. As part of this holiday, cultural events are held in different countries aimed at reviving the traditions and cultures of our ancestors.
