Not long ago I was struck by the idea of organizing a competition on our blog for children’s drawings about how they see energy. Yesterday I found out that they beat me to it. Launched on the corporate website of Bashkirenergo children's drawing competition "Energy through the eyes of children". Unfortunately, only users of the corporate network can view and vote for their favorite drawings. I downloaded several drawings from there and decided to post them on our blog.
I hope that next year we will organize several similar competitions ourselves.
Most of the drawings that I looked at contained the basic “attributes of energy”: chimneys, smoke itself, light bulbs, wires, sockets, batteries and other things that are usually associated with light and heat. There are many drawings with congratulations on the day of the power engineer, with poems and words of gratitude for the light and warmth.

It’s not very easy to make energy saving lessons for children interesting and fun. This is probably why queries related to energy saving classes are very common in search engines.
Today, while looking at the statistics of transitions to my website using search phrases, I again discovered that someone was looking for “classes in the senior group on the topic of energy saving.”
This was the first reason for writing this article.
The second reason is International Energy Saving Day, which perhaps not everyone knows about. That energy saving important for preserving the environment, you've probably heard. They began to talk about this more and more often on radio and television.
Methodological materials for lessons on energy saving.
To make it interesting for children to learn about ways energy saving, add a little excitement to your activities! And the result will pleasantly surprise you!
What could be more exciting than gambling? Board games are convenient because they can be played during classes in the classroom, or you can play them together with your child at home.
Today I am sharing with my readers methodological materials for conducting lessons on energy saving, which were developed by teachers and schoolchildren of the Far East - participants in the “Energy and Habitat” competition.
This competition is held as part of the SPIRE project - School Program for the Use of Resources and Energy. You will receive detailed information about the program on the website - http://www.spareworld.org/
As the coordinator of the SPIRE project in the Far Eastern Federal District, I have collected the most interesting developments created by the competition participants. These are games, performances, lesson notes, presentations and videos.
Board games for primary and secondary school students
Board games for primary and secondary school students can be found at this link - http://yadi.sk/d/07S5h3KhC783m.
Part of the playing field for the board game “Save Energy”. Author Druzhinina T.Yu., Nakhodka, Primorsky Territory.
This block includes different games - both the winners of the competition and the participants who did not receive prizes.
I used the game “Save Energy” to start a conversation about energy conservation with my third graders. I devoted two classes to this topic. The result was the video “Where does the light come from in a light bulb?”
You will see how the children played the board game “Save Energy” and how our discussion of the game took place in this video. The game is very simple and understandable. The guys played with pleasure.
I am sure that from the three proposed games you will choose the one that will be interesting to your children.
Energy saving classes for primary school students.
The energy saving lessons included in this block were developed by teachers from Nakhodka and Vladivostok. These are two of the best teachers of the Primorsky Territory, whose works almost always take prizes in both the Far Eastern and All-Russian stages of the Energy and Habitat competition.
To focus the attention of primary school students on any complex problem or complex issue, poetry, play performances, various tasks that require children to do some kind of activity, and interactive games are a lifesaver.
The proposed developments are examples of such activities. You can take full advantage of any of the activities. Or you can be creative and, based on them, create your own lesson aimed specifically at your unique children.
So, this was the first part of the article, dedicated to interesting activities on how you can save energy.
Tomorrow you will read the continuation of the article. In the second part of this article, you will receive videos and presentations for teaching lessons on energy saving.
You will also learn about International Energy Saving Day and what energy-saving activities you can organize with your children on this day.
