Kindergartens all over Belarus have launched the campaign “Mogy Lanzuzhok” on social networks. About how it passes in Brest region, told in the main Department for education of the Brest regional Executive Committee, writes BelTA.

The main department for education of the Brest Regional Executive Committee noted:

Since the beginning of the 2026/27 academic year in preschool education institutions of the Brest region, a weekly action "Mogyn Lanzuzhok: words of Tydnya" is held. It is aimed at the effective implementation of the curriculum of preschool education, the preservation of the historical and cultural heritage and the formation of a stable interest in the mother tongue among children.”.

For the implementation of the initiative, the Brest Regional Institute for Education Development has prepared methodological recommendations for teachers and a special file of Belarusian words. The materials are posted on the Institute’s website and are used by educators in practical work.

Each week is devoted to one Belarusian word, which becomes a link for various activities in children. The action aroused great interest among all participants of the educational process. Videos demonstrating various forms and ways of studying the word of the week are regularly published in social networks, on the websites of educational institutions, as well as in parent groups in messengers, the statement reads.

On the website of the Ministry of Education there are video materials dedicated to such words as “matulya”, “urajai”, “skarbonka” and “pratsa”. They were prepared by pedagogical workers of preschool education institutions from Zhabinka, Pruzhan, Kobrin, Gantsevichi, as well as Stolin, Ivatsevichi and Pinsk districts. “The word of the week becomes an integral part of play situations and is incorporated organically into the various activities of children. Thanks to this, children not only get acquainted with new Belarusian words, but also learn to use them in everyday communication, learn to understand the beauty and richness of their native language, the head department for education emphasized.

One of the participants of the initiative was kindergarten No. 6 Zhabinki. Head Alesya Savosevic noted that the project helps to expand the vocabulary of children through constant immersion in the language environment.

The main goal of the campaign is to enrich the passive and active vocabulary of children with Belarusian words. Every week a new word appears in the group, and acquaintance with it begins with the moment when the child comes to kindergarten. Teachers conduct thematic conversations, didactic and mobile games, read works of Belarusian literature to children, organize classes in modeling, drawing. There is information in the group locker rooms where parents can find out what word the children will learn this week and get recommendations on how to continue working at home.
