Description of the article:
Dear colleagues, I bring to your attention the didactic game “Pick up a petal”. The material will be useful to teachers, parents, and specialists working with preschool children. The game can be offered to children during individual work.
In their work with children, teachers often encounter problems such as insufficiently developed memory, attention, thinking, and speech. Didactic games are specifically designed to unobtrusively solve emerging difficulties in a child’s development.

Game "Pick up a petal"
Target:
Enriching a child's vocabulary.

Tasks:
1. Learn to correctly name the image in the picture,
2. Learn to work with symbols, use verbs correctly in speech,
3.Develop memory, attention, thinking,

4. Expand your horizons,
5. Foster love and respect for the environment.

Materials for making the game:
1. Cardboard for the base,
2.Self-adhesive or colored cardboard,
3.Clipped pictures from magazines,
4.Pencil, glue, scissors.

In order to make this game you will need thick cardboard for the base. I use cardboard from packets of cereals, it’s convenient and always available. I cut out rectangles of the desired size.

Of course, you can just use colored cardboard, but it is thin and not always bright, so I cover the base with self-adhesive (the colored side of the cardboard remains without self-adhesive; if desired, it can be covered with white paper).

Next we make the petals.

We also cover them with self-adhesive tape.

Next we glue the pictures cut out from magazines onto the petals. The more pictures, the better. Pictures should be clear, bright, and understandable.

Next we work with the base, to which we will later place the petals. In the center of the rectangle we glue a picture with a symbol meaning some action: “flies”, “walks”, “swims”, “crawls”, “squeaks”, “dives”, “jumps”, etc. You can come up with a symbol yourself, but in such a way that the child can immediately “grab” it.

And then you can start the game.
1. The teacher explains to the child what the symbols on the rectangles mean, the child repeats independently.
2. The child recognizes the symbol in the rectangle.
3. Selects those petals whose images can perform a given action.

Based on the game with verbs, you can make a game with adjectives.
Dear colleagues, I hope that the presented game will be useful to you in your work.

Submitted benefits are universal, because allow:

Develop fine motor skills of children's hands (through the use of massage balls);

Improve the sensory perception of pupils;

To form and consolidate preschoolers’ ideas about a holistic picture of the world;

Generalize and expand vocabulary, develop coordination of speech and movements.

Benefits made on the basis of the games presented in the book by T. A. Vorobyeva and O. I. Krupenchuk. "Ball and Speech".

I present to your attention two types of benefits. The first one is made on a rectangular base

And the second is on the round

To make them, gray plastic, transparent plastic, multi-colored self-adhesive film, double-sided tape, and a marker were used.

We attach transparent plastic pocket windows to the rectangular base using double-sided tape.

We cut out strips-paths from self-adhesive tape and glue them onto the base between the opposite windows.

For didactic games need pictures according to the size of the pockets and multi-colored massage balls. We select pictures depending on the tasks that we want to solve during the games (enriching the vocabulary on lexical topics, expanding ideas about the world around us, etc.).

That is, using removable pictures, this allowance can be used for various purposes. For example, in the game “Who eats what?”.

Children roll the ball from one picture to another, accompanying the movement with an answer

Manufacturing steps for the following benefits shown in the photo

Each student rolls a rubber ball towards a balloon of the same color. First, use the palm of your right hand from the end of the thread to the balloon, and in the opposite direction, roll it with the palm of your left hand.

Publications on the topic:

Just recently I registered on the MAAM website. I found many friends and colleagues here, whose reviews of the publications I posted were given.

The period of preschool childhood is a period of intensive sensory development of the child - improving his orientation in external properties.

The most important thing for a person is life,” wrote N. A. Ostrovsky. And the life of a child is doubly precious because he is just taking his first steps.

Do-it-yourself teaching aids. The problem is the continuous updating of the subject development environment. Relevance – update of subject development.

As long as I can remember, and I remember being in this profession for 33 years, preschoolers are always making something - “planing and cutting out.” I'm not far behind either.

Purpose: To acquaint teachers with experience in organizing work on the use of didactic games to foster friendly relations in children's rooms.

Master class “DIY New Year's ball” The most long-awaited and beloved holiday, New Year, is ahead. Take part in preparing for this.

Game “Didactic Box” - do it yourself: familiarization with colors, speech development, development of fine motor skills, familiarization with the seasons.

Author of the game– teacher-defectologist Olga Makhaneva. Olga works with children from two to ten years old. This game received the “Best Speech Game” award at our do-it-yourself educational games competition at the Internet Workshop of educational games “Through the game - to success!” — 2015. This is not Olga’s first game to receive prizes in the competition, because Olga has been participating in our project for the third year and always shares her ideas with other teachers and parents.

Description of the game “Didactic Box”

The game “Didactic Box” is made from a round tin box from under candy or cookies. The bottom and lid of the box are covered from the inside with multi-colored felt in sectors. The side edge of the lid is covered with magnetic tape.

Bottom of the teaching box consists of sectors of four primary colors - blue (winter), green (spring), red (summer), yellow (spring).

Lid of teaching box the inside is divided into eight sectors in accordance with the colors of the rainbow plus white.

The outside cover of the box is divided into 4 sectors and glued with white, gray, orange, brown felt. These are the main colors of animal fur, which can be called: white bunny, orange fox, brown bear, gray wolf.

Side part of the lid of the teaching box taped with magnetic tape. You can attach flat black and white images of animals or birds to it, naming their color and nuances of shades (brown, red).

Now add the cubes:

- on the first cube– images of forest animals (one animal on one side),

- on the second cube– actions of animals (how they can move),

- on the third cube– animal color (white, gray, red, brown, gray-white, white-red, etc.),

- on the fourth cube- numbers or dots.

You will find an example of playing with dice in the article

How to use the game "Didactic Box"

The game can be used to introduce children to colors, seasons, geometric shapes, develop fine motor skills (exercises using clothespins), and develop the child’s speech.

Options for tasks with the game:

- pick a pair (attach red clothespins to the red sector, yellow ones to the yellow one, and so on in accordance with the color of the sectors),

- tell me what color the animals are– game with a box lid (speech grammar game for mastering the agreement of adjectives and nouns: gray bunny, gray mouse, gray cats). We place the animal figurine on the side magnetic panel of the lid in the corresponding color sector and name the animal and its color,

- seasons (arrange pictures with signs of seasons into sectors and explain your choice - why the child thinks that the picture shows spring, and not summer or autumn),

- development of fine motor skills: a) attaching clothespins of different colors in accordance with the color of the sectors, or b) clothespins with figures on the side of the box. (For example, in the game “find your house”. If the bow of a toy is blue, then its house is blue. And the animal figurine needs to be attached to the blue sector. If it is red, then it is red, etc.),

— classification. The task is to arrange geometric figures of different shapes, sizes, thicknesses by color into sectors in a box (the child needs to highlight the leading feature - color, without paying attention to the different thicknesses of the figures and their size and shape)

- collect the months of the year(we name the months of each season, if the child correctly named the month, then he attaches a clothespin to the corresponding sector).

- find neighbors(name the neighbors of the month - for example, the neighbors of January are December and February).

The box can also be used as house-teremok for director's games with kids.

We wish you interesting games!

Multifunctional teaching aid "Magic Hands" for preschoolers.

Purpose: the manual is intended for preschool children according to the principle “from simple to complex”: tasks can become more complicated, selected at the request of the children (according to N.A. Korotkova - taking into account partnerships in preschool educational institutions in the conditions of the Federal State Educational Standard for Education).
Target: creating conditions for the development of mental processes (perception, tactile memory, attention) in the process of socio-game technologies.
Tasks:
- develop tactile sensations; fine motor skills of hands, fingers, tactile sensations, speech of children.
- consolidate general concepts;
- form initial ideas about qualitative and quantitative differences between objects;
- develop mental processes (attention, memory, etc.)
- cultivate independence, accuracy, individual abilities, artistic and aesthetic taste.
Material:
A colorfully decorated box with two holes into which sleeves made of openwork material are sewn, various objects of different texture, shape, and size.

Application in different types of activities:

When conducting direct educational activities;
- during individual lessons with children;
- when organizing gaming activities;
- to create conditions for independent activity;
- for use as a surprise moment.
Methodical techniques:
Each player puts two hands into the box, then identifies and talks about the object by touch, and takes out the object.
Complication: The box contains several toys (items). The child-player, putting his hand in the box, talks about the object.

For a child, play is a natural state in which he exists, develops, and learns about the world. Curiosity and the need to be active encourage the child to play. Among various children's games, didactic educational games occupy a special place. They give the child the opportunity to be creative, broaden his horizons, develop resourcefulness and ingenuity, awaken interest in activities, and influence the child’s emotional state and health.
We took an empty shoe box, lined it with openwork fabric, made 2 holes, and sewed sleeves into them.
The new manual is unusual in that the child uses both hands during the game.

The didactic manual encourages the child to engage in active play and cognitive activity. You can also invite children to tactilely recognize geometric shapes, the number of objects, the properties of objects (soft, hard, wet, smooth, rough, etc.)
Didactic tasks are a multifaceted, complex pedagogical phenomenon: it is a gaming method of teaching preschool children, a form of learning, an independent gaming activity and a means of versatile education of a child’s personality.
Expected results:
Children are able, using tactile sensations, to identify an object by its characteristic features, count objects without looking, and are able to verbally convey the general appearance of an object.

Sample tasks for the game:

"Fairy-tale heroes". The box contains rubber toys - fairy-tale characters. The child, lowering his hands, tries to tell by touch what kind of object this could be. And also remember the fairy tale.

"Tactile boards". Different materials according to their texture are glued onto the boards: fur, foil, cotton wool, velvet, the surface of a su-jok ball, sandpaper. (the most important thing is that everything should be safe for the child).

"Garden Tale" This set represents the number of vegetables and fruits: smooth and rough, small and large.

"Small miracle". Here is a set of small Kinder Surprise toys for children that they really like.

"Cards - emotions." These are cards with images of emotions that the child identifies to one degree or another.

"Magic Bucket" There are a variety of items made from different materials: wood, thread, rubber, plastic and others.

This teaching aid can be made from materials that you have at hand, the main thing is that it is aesthetically pleasing and beautiful, safe and attractive. You can choose tasks at your discretion, which develop not only the cognitive sphere, but also communication, research, and creativity. Do it yourself children's educational construction set "Velkroshka"!

This construction set, easy to make and use, is intended for preschoolers from 2 to 7 years old. It will not only entertain your baby, but will also bring benefits: it will train his fingers and introduce him to colors and shades in a playful way. It can be successfully used at home, in kindergarten, and in the country. The designer is hygienic (it can be washed) and completely safe for children over 3 years old.

To make the construction set, you only need Velcro, also called Velcro, 2 cm wide and scissors. There are scissors in every home, and Velcro is sold in all sewing stores that sell measured goods - ribbons, lace, elastic bands, etc. To make the construction set elegant and interesting, buy Velcro in 5-7 different colors, choosing the brightest and most beautiful - yellow, red, green, blue, orange... You don’t need to make too many parts of the same color, so it’s enough to buy 50 cm of Velcro each color. It will cost no more than 100 rubles.

That's all! The “Velkroshka” construction set is ready!

Of course, for a kindergarten group, you can make a construction set with a much larger number of parts so that there is enough for everyone.

How to play with the constructor

Like any educational toy, this construction set will only be useful if you use it correctly and show your child all its interesting possibilities.

To begin with, children 2-3 years old should be given very simple tasks.

Task No. 1. Take 5 double strips of different colors, separate them, mix them and ask your child to connect them again, keeping the color match. When this task becomes too easy, increase the number of stripes by adding several stripes of the same color. So the baby will have to select the halves not only by color, but also by properties, because the Velcro strips have two sides - fluffy and “burdocky”, and only different ones are combined with each other. Babies have a very developed sense of touch, so they get great pleasure from such tactile variety.

Task No. 2. Connect the strips to each other in a random order and ask your child to restore order - separate the incorrectly connected strips, and then connect strips of the same colors to each other. Peeling apart Velcro strips is fun for kids and replaces the popular paper ripping exercise for toddlers.

Task No. 3. When the child understands the paired strips - learns to separate and connect them, you can complicate the task. Ask your child to connect all the strips of the same color with their ends into a long line, alternating fluffy and “burdock” parts.

	The next stage is the task of connecting the ends of strips of two or three colors and asking the child to continue the line, repeating the given color pattern. Then, the task can be further complicated by using corners, crosses, squares, and rings as parts of the ornament.
	Children over 3 years old can already be shown how to assemble geometric shapes and images from construction kit parts. It’s better to start with repetition tasks - an adult makes a figurine, and then asks the child to make one exactly the same in color and shape, or just in shape, using any other colors they like.
	Be sure to show your kids the techniques by which the strips can change their shape and connect to each other. Thus, parts with different surfaces can be connected in different ways: overlapping at different angles, ends in a line, in a ring or in a “boat”, sides in a wide strip, along the entire length with a shift (which allows you to obtain parts of different lengths with ends of different types of mating , or close one part on the surface of another into a round ring.

Only after the kids learn to repeat the models assembled by adults and master a variety of design techniques, you can give tasks in words, for example, make a bunny or make a rocket, encouraging the child to use the acquired skills, memory and imagination.

The capabilities of “Velkroshka”, despite its simplicity, are diverse enough to depict plants, animals, objects, architectural structures and much more.

ATTENTION! Do not leave a child under 3 years of age unattended with a construction set to prevent them from putting the parts in their mouth and swallowing them. Children over 3 years old can play with the construction set independently.

After finishing working with the designer, connect all the strips in pairs, fold them together and pull them crosswise using two strips connected at the ends. In this form, the Velkroshka construction set takes up little space, does not need a box, does not cling to anything, and is convenient to take with you.
