The article examines the organization of children's recreation and health improvement during vacation periods as a factor with significant developmental potential. The relevance of the study is due to the need to transition from the recreational function of vacations to their use for the comprehensive development of the child's personality. Existing programs and methods of organizing children's leisure are analyzed, their strengths and weaknesses are identified. An algorithm for the practical implementation of experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of various forms of leisure is presented. The necessity of using comprehensive research methods (quantitative and qualitative) to assess the impact of vacation programs on the physical, emotional, and social development of children is substantiated. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of using the proposed algorithm to improve existing and develop new children's recreation programs.
