Didactic games for children of the younger group of kindergarten. Printed board games in kindergarten Game “Who was who?”

In kindergarten, board games for children 3-4 years old, as well as toddlers and preschoolers, are not just a type of entertainment, but an important tool in the development of emotions, inner world, psychological core, and character. The main task of the teacher is to correctly select games that correspond to the age category of the children and their interests in the kindergarten. In modern “computer” times, children are often deprived of the opportunity to fully play at the table at home - looking at adults, they prefer phones, consoles, and televisions. That is why high-quality organization of tabletop leisure, introduced into kindergarten, is so important and relevant.

Board games for children 2-3 years old (younger group)

Children 2-3 years old often do not yet speak, do not recognize differences in colors and shapes, and do not know the names of objects. The teacher needs to offer such children board games to develop speech, visual and auditory perception, and attentiveness. The children cannot yet play together without the help of an adult, so the teacher acts as a coordinator and mentor in the kindergarten group.

Children of the younger group are very inquisitive and interested in everything new to themselves. Invite them to play bright pyramids, picture lotto, large puzzles, and build towers. Each game should be bright, beautiful and as safe as possible. No small parts (chips, cubes), sharp objects - the kindergarten by default should be a place where it is always safe for the child. You can make a finger theater with your own hands and offer to act out a scene with your children.

	"Guess and name" From the box you get pictures depicting various objects (fruits, transport, birds, etc.). The child must name what he sees.
	"Where is whose house" The kids’ task is to correctly match the animals with their habitat. These can be printed puzzles, purchased pictures, magnets or magnetic boards.
	"The Fourth Wheel" From the proposed options for animals, plants, insects, birds, food and other things, unnecessary things are removed. The child himself must determine the sign by which to make a choice - in case of failure, the teacher prompts, starting a speech from afar.

Board games for children 3-4 years old (middle group)

From the age of 3, a child already actively communicates with peers around him and is able to study and discover something together with them. At this stage, board games for children 3-4 years old can acquire new rules, and the teacher acts as an arbiter on the “field”. The joint activity is designed to develop a sense of justice - kids learn to rejoice not only in personal victory, but also in the success of their peers. The girl will be happy to enthusiastically play dress-up games, be it paper heroines with various homemade outfits or three-dimensional dolls. Dress up games can be carried away not only for the sake of variety of leisure time, but also for the sake of understanding the principle and. The boy will cope well with not the most complex construction set.

Those board games for children 3-4 years old that were successfully accepted by children in the younger group of kindergarten may be a little more complicated for the middle group. For example, the task set for the child will not just name the object in the picture, but give it a versatile characteristic (color, features, purpose). Develop children's speech by asking them to answer questions in detail, use facial expressions, and pronounce individual sounds.

	"My house" Children are offered separate parts of a house (door, windows, chimney, staircase) or room (sofa, chandelier, painting, refrigerator), which must be assembled into one structure. At the same time, each added detail must be voiced and reasoned. A 4-year-old child can make an arrangement using his own apartment as an example.
	"Lotto" Children are given cards with different images. From the common box, the teacher (or one of the children) takes out one chip at a time and names what is depicted on it. Kids should carefully study the cards for consistency. Whoever fills out their card correctly the fastest wins.
	"Cubes" It is necessary to make pictures by comparing all sides of the existing cubes. These are complicated puzzles.

Board games for children 5-6 years old (senior group)

Starting from the age of 5, children can be prepared for school: perseverance is cultivated, vocabulary and logic are developed, and an interest in creativity and acquiring knowledge is developed. At this stage, children can independently invent board games for themselves and introduce rules into them; the ability to analyze what is happening without the participation of an adult appears. For a preschooler, kindergarten is the last step before school, from which you need to get the most benefit.

For children aged 5-6 years, manufacturers have created many board games where it is necessary to find investigative connections and establish facts. Boys and girls can buy or create games based on the following topics: cars, house cleaning, fashion. It would be nice to implement it so that by the time children go to school they learn the basics of calculations.

	"Nature Calendar" The child needs to establish a correspondence between the selected months, its inherent precipitation, and temperature.
	"Find a cub for mom" It is necessary to compare the pictures of various animals, birds and their young correctly.
	"What? Where? When?" A versatile game for the development of 5-6 year old children. It is built on the principle of a quiz.
