ORGANIZING PATRIOTIC EDUCATION FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS AS PART OF EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Skopa V. A., Tyapkina A. G.

The development of civic identity and love for the Motherland is a multi-layered process that requires a systematic approach within the context of supplementary education. Developing such qualities in primary school-age children is particularly important, as it is during this period that fundamental understanding of moral values and national culture is established. Practical implementation includes: organizing leisure programs focused on studying the history and traditions of their region; using interactive methods to encourage children's active participation in cultural and educational projects; introducing local history research as a tool for understanding regional history; and celebrating significant dates and commemorative events through concerts and thematic meetings. Effective education involves combining various forms of extracurricular activities: from collective creative projects to individual research assignments.
