2.5. Excursion technique

The effectiveness of any excursion largely depends on the technique of its conduct, the relationship between the methodology and the technique of conducting. There are a number of requirements for the excursion technique. These include the guide's acquaintance with the group, the correct placement of the group at the facility, the excursionists get off the bus and return to the bus (other vehicle), the guide's use of the microphone, adherence to the time allotted for the excursion as a whole and the disclosure of individual subtopics, answers to tourists' questions etc.

Acquaintance of the guide with the group. The guide gets on the bus and gets to know the group. He greets those present, gives his last name, first name, patronymic, the excursion institution, which he represents, introduces the excursionists to the bus driver, that is, he begins the excursion with an introduction.

It is important that from the very beginning the guide submits his actions to the established rules of communication with the group. He doesn’t start talking right away. There is a pause that lasts ten to twenty seconds. The first acquaintance takes place, further contacts of the guide with the group largely depend on it. Sightseers gradually become silent, sit down more comfortably, their attention switches to the guide. Sightseers figure out what the guide is capable of, what will tell them interesting things, and the guide thinks about how to interest these people, how to rivet their attention to the topic.

With proper organization of excursion work, preparation for it should take place in advance. This is done by the organizers of the excursion or travel agents.

The plot of the excursion must be known to the excursionist in advance. The excursionist must know the topic of the excursion. It is extremely important that promotional activities and the purchase of an excursion voucher are separated from the excursion by one or two days. This is significant in the sense that a well-known psychological attitude of the excursionist will take place during this period of time. He will have time to think about it and get used to the plot of the excursion.

Each topic has its own introduction. If the composition of the group is different (for example, the local population and visiting tourists, adults and children), the same excursion will have different introductions. The guide pays special attention to the preparation and performance of the introduction, which gives a specific setting for the excursionists, allows them to establish contact with them.

Exit of excursionists from the bus (trolleybus, tram). You need to prepare in advance for the excursion. In cases where this is not done, a significant part of the group remains on the bus, without going out to observe the monuments at their location. Thus, sightseers lose the opportunity to personally get to know the object.

At the stops where the excursion group exits, the guide leaves first, showing an example to the group and determining the direction of its movement to the object. In cases where other stops are arranged on excursions, for example, sanitary or for the purchase of souvenirs, the guide informs the exact time (hour and minutes) of the bus departure. It is necessary to require excursionists to comply with the regulations for the excursion, which affects the schedule of the bus along the route. If the time spent on a country excursion is reduced or increased for some reason, the guide informs all tourists about it.

Arrangement of the group at the object. When developing an excursion, as a rule, several options for placing a group are determined for observing an excursion object. This is done in the case when the place determined by the methodological development is occupied by another group or when the sun's rays shine in the eyes, making it difficult to inspect the object. There are other reasons that prevent you from using the recommended site. In hot weather, opportunities are used to arrange groups in the shade. In case of rain, the option of placing tourists under the roof, under the crown of trees, is provided. In some cases, the technique requires that several points be selected for viewing the object: distant, if the object is shown together with the environment or other objects; close, if individual details of a building, structure, terrain, object of nature are analyzed. These features are reflected in the column "Organized guidelines for methodological development". Each guide carefully studies these instructions and, before leaving with the group on the route, clarifies issues related to the placement of the group to observe the objects. You should also ensure the safety of tourists when visiting objects and when crossing motorways.

When several groups are simultaneously located at one object, such a distance should be maintained between them so that one guide does not interfere with the other with his story, so that one group does not obscure another object of observation. The well-known difficulties in observing this condition are caused by the placement of groups for the display of the museum exposition.

Tourist movement from bus to object, from object to bus, between objects is carried out by a group. The guide's place is in the center of the group, several people are walking in front, a few are nearby, the rest are behind. It is important that the group does not stretch: the distance between its head and those who walk last should not exceed 5-7 meters. The guide must ensure that the integrity of the group is not compromised when the group moves along the route. When the group is extended, not everyone will hear the guide's story, his explanations and logical transitions that are presented along the way. Experienced guides skillfully guide the movement on the route.

The pace of movement of the group depends on the composition of the group (children, youth, middle age, elderly people), on the terrain, for example, climbing a mountain, poor road conditions, overcoming ditches of dangerous zones in working shops, etc.

On a walking tour, the pace of movement of sightseers is slow, unhurried, since the objects of the display are located next to each other.

It is more difficult to set the required pace of movement of the group on a bus tour. Here, getting off the bus, the guide does not start moving immediately, especially if the object is located in the distance. He allows most of the tourists to get off the bus and then, without haste, but not too slowly, at the head of the group heads towards the goal. Approaching the object, he does not begin his story immediately, but after the whole group has gathered.

The guide supervises the movement of sightseers and during their independent work on the route. Tourists walk around the object in order to read the inscription on it themselves, enter it, see the peculiar features of the architecture. They climb the hill to determine its height, climb the bell tower, the minaret to be convinced of the unusual "step" of the steps of the steep stairs, descend into the fortress ditch to determine its depth, etc. These movements of sightseers enrich them with additional information and new impressions , make it possible to feel the unique features of the objects, the features of the events to which the excursion is dedicated.

Return of sightseers to the bus. During the movement of the group, it is led by a guide. When the group is boarding the bus, he stands to the right of the entrance and counts the sightseers who enter the cabin. This is done imperceptibly. After making sure that all the participants of the excursion have gathered, he enters the bus last and gives a conditional sign to the driver about the start of movement.

It is necessary to avoid counting tourists who have already taken their seats on the bus. This introduces unnecessary nervousness, sometimes causes comic situations, thereby disrupting the course of the excursion.

Place of the guide. The tour guide on the bus should occupy a place from which he can clearly see the objects referred to during the excursion, but so that all excursionists are in his field of vision. At the same time, tourists should see him. As a rule, this is a specially designated front seat next to the driver (the seat behind the driver is for another driver). It is not allowed for the guide to stand while the bus is moving (as well as excursionists) for safety reasons.

On a walking tour, the guide must be half-turned to the object. Showing visually perceptible objects requires that they be in front of the eyes of the guide, because he analyzes them on the basis of his visual impressions. This is especially important in out-of-town excursions, when the guide, while the bus is moving, sitting in his place with his back to the tourists, looks through the front window of the bus and talks about what the tourists are already seeing or are about to see.

Observance of time during the excursion. The methodological development indicates the exact time allotted for the disclosure of each subtopic in minutes. Everything is provided here: showing the objects, the guide's story, moving along the route to the next one and moving the group around the observed objects. The ability to keep within the allotted time does not come immediately to the guide. This requires a lot of practice, including conducting an excursion with a watch in hand: at home, at a specific object. It is necessary to achieve compliance with the time when conducting a logical transition, covering a single subtopic and main issues. The timekeeping of the time spent on separate parts of the excursion helps the guide. Based on this timing, taking into account the comments of the listener, the guide makes the appropriate adjustments to his story. Everything unnecessary is removed from the excursion, which leads to waste of time. Often the excursion, for reasons beyond the control of the guide, is significantly reduced in time. The reason for this is the prolonged gathering of the group, the breakfast served to tourists at the wrong time, the delay of the bus, etc. As a result, the excursion starts with a delay. The guide has only one way out - to reduce the time allotted for the disclosure of the topic. This should be done, keeping all the main things in the content of the excursion and removing the minor ones. To do this, you need to prepare in advance for a possible reduction in the excursion material.

The technique of carrying out the story when the bus is moving. The narration while driving on the bus should be conducted by a guide through a microphone. If the equipment is malfunctioning or the microphone is absent altogether, it is useless for the guide to tell the story while driving. The noise of the engine and the shaking of the bus limit audibility, so that explanations will only be heard by tourists sitting nearby. In this case, the guide gives materials about the nearest section of the route before the start of the movement, and during the movement only the names of objects or terrain are reported. In the presence of important objects or settlements, it is necessary to stop the bus, turn off the engine and only then give explanations. This must be agreed with the driver in advance.

Answers to questions from tourists. In the excursion practice, a certain classification of questions has developed. They are subdivided into four groups: questions from the guide, to which the excursionists answer; questions posed during the story, to which the guide answers; rhetorical questions that are posed to activate the attention of tourists; questions asked by the participants of the excursions on the topic. The first three groups of questions are related to the method of conducting excursions, and only the fourth group of questions is related to the technique of conducting excursions. Their content is different - sometimes they are associated with objects, sometimes - with the life of famous personalities, and often - with events that have nothing to do with the topic of the excursion. The main rule of working with such questions is that you should not interrupt the story and give an immediate answer to them, nor do you need to answer the questions at the end of each of the subtopics. This scatters attention and distracts the audience from the perception of the content of the disclosed topic, since not everyone in the group is concerned about these particular issues. Therefore, the guide should answer questions not during the tour, but at the end of it. The content of the answers should not be of a controversial nature, i.e., arouse the desire of the tourists to argue, to continue the topic raised in the question.

Making an introduction to the topic, the guide informs his listeners about this order of answers to questions.

Excursion breaks. The guide does not have to speak continuously. There should be small breaks between the individual parts of the story, the story and excursion information on the way, the logical transition and the story about the object and the events associated with it.

Pauses have the following tasks:

The first is semantic, when the break time is used by people to think about what they heard from the guide and saw with their own eyes. To consolidate factual material in memory, formulate their conclusions and remember what they saw. It is important that sightseers have time free from showing and telling about each object for self-examination, preparation for the perception of what will be shown and told at the next stop;
- the second is to give sightseers a short rest. It does not carry any semantic meaning. This is especially important for those who are not yet accustomed to such an active form of cultural and educational work as an excursion.

Pauses in out-of-town excursions are combined with rest, which, in accordance with the existing procedure, is provided to the guide: 15 minutes. at the end of each hour of work (for a guide, the hour of the excursion is 45 minutes). This rest can be summed up and used by the guide at the end of the tour. There may also be pauses on excursions - free time used to purchase souvenirs, printed materials, quench thirst, as well as for sanitary stops on long excursions.

The technique of using the "guide's portfolio". The content of the "guide's portfolio", its significance and role in the use of methodological techniques of the show is related to the methodology of preparing and conducting an excursion. Each exhibit - a photograph, a drawing, a reproduction of a painting, portrait, drawing, a copy of a document - has its own serial number. This determines the sequence of demonstration of this exhibit to tourists.

The exhibit can be shown by the guide from his workplace, transferred to the hands of the tourists along the rows for more detailed acquaintance.

Sometimes, in accordance with the methodological development, the guide organizes the playback of tape and video recordings. It is important to check in advance the serviceability of the equipment, the availability of the necessary recordings, to ensure audibility for all participants in the excursion. The guide must be able to use this equipment.

During the excursions, elements of the ritual (a ceremony developed by folk customs) are used. Tourists at burial sites and memorials honor the memory of the victims with a minute of silence, attend the changing of the guard of honor, participate in processions and rallies, and listen to funeral melodies. The guide needs to know the order of laying flowers, the passage of sightseers at the locations of mass graves and obelisks, participation in the guard of honor, in a minute of silence, the rules of conduct at the Eternal Flame and at the burial sites of heroes of the Civil War, the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) and others. wars. Before the start of the excursion, the guide informs about everything, emphasizing the importance of observing the ritual when visiting historical sites.

conclusions

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of issues related to the technique of conducting excursions. Neither a fascinating story about objects, nor methodological methods of displaying monuments will give the necessary effect if all aspects of its implementation are not seriously thought out, if conditions are not created for observing the objects.

Thripster turned my life around. This site allowed me to throw out the prepared bundle of resumes and do something that has brought joy, pleasant sums of money and an incredible number of interesting people into my everyday life for a whole year. And all this in a mode convenient for me, and not five days a week from nine to six. I treat the Tripster team with great fondness for clarity, honesty, efficiency (on the verge of fantasy) and openness to new ideas. Through their efforts, the site is constantly improving, and rare technical difficulties are solved as if by magic. But the most important thing: these kind people do everything that it would be difficult and boring for me to do myself. If it weren't for Tripster, I probably would have put off mastering my life's work for later.

I became a guide thanks to Tripster. I stumbled upon it a couple of years ago, read the stories of guides from Istanbul and St. Petersburg, and realized that I also want to show travelers Izborsk - one of the oldest cities in Russia. Now, after hundreds of walks with guests, I can say with confidence: Tripster is the best service for booking excursions in Russia. It's beautiful and comfortable - it's nice to look at it, and everything works on it. He is sincere - guides, support service, editors - all living people - travelers feel it, and you will feel it too. And he is active - Tripster is seriously working on promoting excursions, and in the season 80% of orders I receive through Tripster, although I have my own website and I work with several other sites - but they are not so effective. Thripster really makes the world a little better, and I'm glad I was involved in this case too.

The best audience comes from the Tripster- smart, educated, curious, open-minded people, working with whom it is great happiness. We have been on the travel market for 5 years, and we have something to compare with Out of all imaginable partners, Tripster is by far the best. The work of the support service is incredibly professional, these amazing people are ready to personally deal with any problem that arises, help with advice and just support. And another very important point for us is fantastic marketing. Is it possible with such a competition for a long time working and gaining a huge number of excellent reviews of guides to break into the "stars"? We can confidently say that it is possible. Everyone, everyone, everyone who, in one way or another, puts their energy into this wonderful project! You are crazy beautiful!

The service is very convenient. You can negotiate with the traveler directly, without intermediaries and resolve issues on the shore. An excellent commission-booking system, it is much more pleasant to think that the guide himself does not pay the site for accommodation, since this is the price of the traveler's booking and at the same time a guarantee that the excursion will take place. Notifications arrive on time, there is an opportunity to mark busy days and hours in the calendar, a user-friendly interface, communication with mail. Support will always help resolve issues. In general, the best service for guides: there are many opportunities for creativity and new excursions. Thank you very much to the entire Tripster team for their work!

During the six months of working with Tripster, I made many friends, visiting my favorite city. Precisely friends, because every traveler, coming to a meeting, is tuned into acquaintance, first of all, not with a historical object or museum exhibits, but with an interesting person who can expand the circle of his knowledge in one area or another.

And the best way to make new friends who can appreciate your knowledge and hospitality is the Tripster service. This is a professional team, always ready to help you in any matters of organizing a particular excursion. The main thing is your idea! Offer travelers exactly what you know best and what you love to do, and the result will not be long in coming. I began to receive orders for my excursions from the first days of posting on the service. Come up with your original route or entertainment in your hometown. I wish you success in our common interesting and exciting business!

Introduction.

A technique in the broadest sense of the word is a set of methods for expediently carrying out a particular work, solving a problem, achieving a goal, and in a narrower sense, it is a set of specific methodological techniques for conducting lectures, conversations, excursions on a specific topic and for a specific group.

The technique is divided into general and specific.

An excursion is a methodically thought-out show of sights, monuments of history and culture, a show based on an analysis of the objects in front of the sightseers, as well as the events associated with them.

The guide is not indifferent to what the excursionist sees, how he will understand and perceive what he has seen and heard.

The guide, with his explanations, brings the tourists to the necessary conclusions, the effectiveness of the excursion depends on this.

It follows from this that the essence of the excursion can be defined as follows: a visual process of cognition of the surrounding world, a process built on pre-selected objects located in natural conditions or located in the halls of museums, exhibitions, workshops of a sculptor, artist, etc.

The excursion technique is a private technique, since it is associated with the process of disseminating knowledge based on one form of work. The excursion methodology is a set of requirements and rules for excursions, as well as the sum of methodological techniques for preparing and conducting excursions of different types, on various topics and for different groups of people.

The method of excursion work answers the following questions:

1. Why was the excursion prepared and conducted (purpose, objectives)?

2. What issues are covered during the excursion (what is its content)?

3. How to conduct an excursion (methodological techniques)?

The excursion methodology consists of several independent, interconnected parts:

Methods for developing a topic that is new for this bureau;

Methods for the development of a new topic for a guide, but already developed in this bureau;

Methods of preparing a guide for the next excursion;

Excursion methods;

Techniques after excursion work.

1. Subject and types of excursion techniques.

1.1 Subject and types of excursion techniques.

The method of conducting an excursion is a set of techniques used in conducting an excursion, which are designed to find a way more usual and, together with the fact that, as everyone knows, effective achievement of the purpose of the excursion, to help the excursionists to finally learn the content of the excursion easier and more firmly.

Methodological techniques for conducting an excursion are divided into general, personal and individual ones. Imagine one fact that general techniques are, as usual, the basis for conducting, as everyone knows, any excursion, regardless of its topic, the composition of the excursion group. I must say that personal, in the end, are those methods that are used in excursions, as most of us are used to saying, of a certain type (industrial, museum, natural history, transport, walking), or in excursions conducted for a certain, as people used to express themselves, excursion audience (kids, youth, adults). It's no secret that personal techniques, focusing on the main requirements of excursion techniques, develop and concretize more effective techniques for conducting excursions of this type. Everyone knows that in the end, single techniques are, as we constantly say, unique methods of observing some, as many say, the first object or a story about it, for example, showing a building on the shore of a reservoir, which, on a fine summer day, is finally reflected on its surface. And it is not even necessary to say that such techniques are usually the intellectual property of the 1st guide and are not finally used by everyone who, therefore, conducts such excursions. Indeed, one-off methods also include those whose implementation is limited, as we put it, to a certain time of the year or day.

The excursion methodology is considered in several aspects: as the basis of the professional skills of the guides; as a mechanism that improves the "presentation" of the material; as a process of streamlining the activities of the guide. The technique helps tourists see, remember and understand much more than in a lecture that covers the same topic. This is because the lecturer's methodology is largely based on various kinds of messages and descriptions, the lecture story is conducted in isolation from the objects of description. The excursion methodology consists of several independent, interconnected parts: - methodology for developing a topic that is new for this bureau; - methods for the development of a new topic for a guide, but already developed in this bureau; - methods for preparing a guide for the next excursion; - methods of conducting an excursion; - methods of post-excursion work.

Aspects of the excursion methodology: the basis of the professional skill of the guide, the mechanism for submitting the material, the process of streamlining the activities of the guide during the preparation and conduct of the excursion.

The excursion technique is associated with concepts such as storytelling and showing. To the question about the ratio of the show and the story in the excursion, the methodology gives an unambiguous answer: from the show to the story. One should start with a show, with visual or other (tactile, olfactory) impressions, and then introduce the story. The technique takes into account the object's ability to attract attention, uses various means to enhance the attention of tourists.

Another task of the methodology is to suggest the most effective use of methodological techniques for conducting an excursion. The excursion methodology takes into account the issues of emotional impact on tourists.

The subject of the excursion methodology is the purposeful study, systematization, formulation, explanation and application in practice of the means and methods of education and training, as well as methodological techniques with the help of which employees of excursion institutions carry out their activities. The excursion methodology summarizes the experience of conducting excursions, develops and proposes such methodological techniques that have justified themselves in practice and ensure the highest efficiency of disclosure and perception of the topic.

1.2 Methodology for preparing excursions.

The development of the excursion is carried out by a creative group, consisting of 3-10 people, depending on the complexity of the topic. Each of the participants is working on one of the sections or one of subtopics excursions. The head of the creative group combines and edits the prepared material.

The preparation is divided into two stages:

Preliminary - the selection and study of factual materials (i.e. the process of the initial accumulation of knowledge on a given topic), carried out by a creative group, the choice of objects on which the excursion will be built;

Immediate - drawing up an excursion route, processing factual material.

In addition, work is underway on the structure of the methodological development: introduction, main part, conclusion; a control text is drawn up, the methodological guidance of the excursion is analyzed (determination of the most appropriate methodological methods of showing and telling specifically for one or another part of the excursion), a "guide's portfolio" is formed, an individual text is prepared. A methodological development is a concise plan, a document that determines how to conduct a given excursion, in what sequence to organize the display of monuments, what methodology is advisable to use for an effective excursion. Here the guide must find advice on the sequence in which to show and tell the story, what materials are from the “guide's portfolio” and when it is better to demonstrate. A methodological development is compiled for each topic of the excursion.

Methodological development is an obligatory document, without which an excursion on this topic cannot be conducted.

An obligatory document is also an individual text, which gives the guide the right to conduct an excursion on this topic. A correctly drawn up methodological development helps the guide to reveal the topic more fully.

State cultural institution

4.organization of inspection

5.presence of a route

TO peculiarities Museum excursions should be attributed to the great mobility and frequent change of themes and routes due to the constant development of the exposition (the introduction of new themes, exhibits, partial re-expositions, etc.). The museum excursion is limited to the space of the exhibition space. During the excursion, the guide cannot use pauses; his opportunities for relaxation, preparation of the group for the perception of new material are limited. Often, exhibits presented to tourists in variety and variety scatter the group's attention, and the guide has to put a lot of skill and effort into organizing and directing the audience's attention to the desired exhibit.

All of the above should be taken into account when preparing and conducting a tour of the museum.

Depending on the breadth of the topic, the depth of its disclosure, excursions are divided into overview and thematic. Also, in some cases, there are cyclic excursions.

The most common type of excursion is sightseeing tour.

Its purpose is to give the visitor a general idea of ​​the museum, its collections, and the exposition as a whole.

Thematic excursion Is a guided tour on one specific topic. She sets the task of full and deep disclosure of the topic using the maximum of the material related to it, presented in the exhibition.

Thematic tours are not available in all non-state museums. Their presence depends on the profile of the museum, the nature of its main themes, exhibition area, the number of sections and topics, and most importantly, on the variety and richness of museum material.

Cycle excursions for non-state museums, this is a rare phenomenon, since they require the unification of excursions by a single topic, work with the same group of visitors in a certain sequence for a certain time.

II. Preparation of a museum excursion

1. The beginning of work on a new excursion is determination of the topic, purpose, range of issues that need to be covered.

All these components of the initial stage of work depend, first of all, on the profile of the museum, the collections that are on display, as well as the demand of visitors.

IV. Excursion methodology

The main methods and techniques for conducting an excursion are outlined in the process of developing its content. However, they receive concrete forms and a complete character only after special working out at the exposition, in conditions as close as possible to the excursion. The guide must, in practice, choose the most successful methodological techniques for the given exposition.

Distinguish the following general techniques guiding the excursion:

2.story

In practice, they all act in interconnection, ultimately forming a single excursion method. Its main requirement is the organic connection of the show with the story, but, as a rule, during the guided tour, the show precedes the story. An exhibit display is not a simple demonstration of an item. Each material presented in the exhibition carries certain information and plays a certain role. The task of the guide is to convey this to the sightseers.

When conducting a specific excursion, display and story methods are implemented through a number of techniques, such as:

1.verbal or mental reconstruction (recreation of an event based on the materials presented in the exhibition)

2.comparison

3.citation of the exhibited documents (read-out excerpts should be skillfully combined with the display of the exhibit itself, help to reveal the topic)

Conversation is an integral part of any excursion. First of all, these are the introductory and final parts of the excursion, which were discussed above. Separate elements of the conversation are introduced into the main part of the excursion, having thought over the questions for the tourists in advance.

In addition to the demonstration, story and conversation, which form the basis of the excursion methodology, additional techniques are often used in the museum excursion: listening to sound recordings of the memories of the participants in the events, which are discussed in the excursion, watching videos, filmstrips, etc. methods should be followed only in those cases if this material is bright, emotional, saturated with information. The duration of such "inserts" should not exceed 4-5 minutes. Otherwise, the attention of tourists will be scattered, interest in continuing the excursion will decrease.

For a more complete disclosure of the topic with a small number of exhibits, you can resort to using additional, auxiliary material not included in the exhibition: photographs, reproductions, copies, diagrams, maps, drawings, etc. (the so-called "guide's portfolio").

V. Some rules of the excursion

The success of the excursion depends on many factors. The guide is required to:

Knowledge of the material

Correct speech

Impeccable look

Ability to establish contact with the group, etc.

During the excursion, the guide should arrange the group in such a way that the excursionists, without exception, could see the exposition material with which they are currently working. The guide's place is between the group (1.5 m from it) and the stand. When showing with a pointer this or that material (unless a document is read out or certain features of the exhibit are indicated), the guide should address the group and observe its reaction. The indifference of the guide to the behavior of the audience, as well as the manifestation of a bad mood by him, is not permissible. The guide is a kind of actor. And on how he prepares his role and plays it in public, the success of all the work on preparing the excursion and conducting it for a specific excursion group largely depends.

Vi. Improving the excursion

Before going out with a prepared excursion to the group, the guide must present it to a more experienced and knowledgeable employee for listening, and then the excursion is officially accepted by a commission, which may include representatives of the museum administration, staff members, members of the Museum Council.

But even after the commission accepts the excursion, the work on it is not considered complete.

It is necessary to continue studying the chosen topic - to get acquainted with new publications, clarify information about the exhibits, listen to excursions of other guides, analyze the reaction of visitors.

This will provide an opportunity to constantly improve the excursion, make it more relevant, attractive for tourists, and, consequently, increase interest in the museum as a whole.

I drink coffee and stick cloves in oranges - getting ready for the excursion ..

The aromas of citrus and cloves remind others of winter. People passing by my table are smiling. The orange-clove therapy works on me too: I happily run out into the street, and there is snow ... the first this year.

Hello Christmas excursion! No, today is a birthday. Children are wonderful and parents are amazing!

I am often offered to conduct excursions with children, considering it something rather difficult. In my opinion, a children's excursion is an amazing business, simple and complex at the same time, but it is important that you immediately feel the return, gratitude and love from the children.

What is the most important thing in a children's excursion?

A few tips for mums, dads, grandparents who walk around St. Petersburg with their children and want their children to listen and hear your historical stories:

1. Think in vivid images that are understandable to children.

First, you yourself must see the image of what you are talking about. The picture should be in color, detailed and evoke feelings for you personally.

For example, the gardener Eliseev grew strawberries in the greenhouse for Count Sheremetyev on Christmas Day. The guests are in amazement, the count in excitement exclaims: "Ask what you want!"

I can imagine everything very vividly: the count's camisole, and a wicker basket, and snow outside the window, frost down to -40 ° C and the aroma of strawberries. Therefore, it is easy to tell. And by themselves questions are born to the children: "What happened next, what do you think?" If the picture is bright, then the guys easily come up with and immerse themselves in history. Where did the Eliseevs go when they became free? What did they do? Was it easy for them in Petersburg? What would you do in their place if you had 100 rubles? And then it would be good to go from words to deeds.

2. Find a thing, a detail that characterizes your character, a story.

It is easier, of course, to use an illustration, a picture, a photograph. But the best thing is to find a thing that you can touch, smell, guess the riddle associated with it. For example, with the merchants Eliseevs, I give the guys an orange, on which the letters of the surname are lined with carnations. The letters are scattered and they must be used to form a word (Eliseev began to trade in oranges on Nevsky Prospekt).

Talking about Peter I, I like to give children a map of the area of ​​St. Petersburg in the 18th century, and I propose to lay out an approximate plan of the city (this is for older children, of course). When we go to the Photo Salon, I give a photo and offer to find the point from which it was taken. In the Summer Garden, I invite the children to sculpt some of the sculptures on their own. Everything that the children touched, made efforts to solve - they will remember them for a long time.

It is not easy to find what falls into the top ten, as they say, but the process itself is worth it! For me personally, this is the most interesting thing about the excursion: the process of finding that very historical detail.

3. Less is better, but better.

Children do not remember the date, especially when they are standing, listening to even the most interesting stories from the force of 5-7 minutes. Therefore, the entire historical story should be packed in 15-20 minutes, and the entire excursion in 1.5 hours maximum.

And after such a dive, leave the children with the desire to learn more, but on their own. Not "that I told you everything, but I also remembered, listen to me carefully." Not! Fill your conversation with dialogue, searching, running, photographing, and discovering places.

4. Encouragement, prize, tasty treat at the end of the historic walk.

After the excursion, we go for lunch, dinner or afternoon tea. It's great if the food you offer the guys is relevant to today's walk. Let not all, but again the detail will be remembered for a long time and will make the meal "historical" and fascinating. And even if you feel that the children are tired of historical information, you can simply say that our hero loved just that.

If you have boys and you have visited the Suvorov Museum, then eating buckwheat porridge and cabbage soup in bread is a must. And if emperors are your heroes, take a lace napkin and a couple of porcelain plates with you. Even on military campaigns, the emperors ate simply, but always with silver and on porcelain. And this day will be special.

5. And the last, my favorite: it is easy to forget everything that is told to you and everything that is shown, but we will never forget the atmosphere when we feel good.

Be surprised, play, discover the story with the children! Love for the city is within us, and the child feels and understands everything, just talking about this love must be creative. I have about the same approach to adult excursions. And even if colleagues in the shop do not always understand this, it is very exciting to wake up the inner child in a serious adult!
