Organizing experimental activities for children to explore the surrounding environment is necessary from the perspective of “playing to learn, learning by playing” and experiential learning in early childhood education today. From a number of theoretical bases, the article proposes some measures to train the skills of organizing experimental activities in teaching the module “Methods of teaching children to explore the surrounding environment” for students majoring in Early Childhood Education, such as: selecting appropriate educational content; selecting and preparing experimental equipment, building a system of provoking questions, practicing experiment techniques, etc. Training skills in organizing experimental activities provides students with additional specialized knowledge, flexibility and creativity in the process of organizing activities for children to explore the surrounding environment with a “child-centered” approach.
