Ecological games for children of middle and senior preschool age

Ecological games can be used in working with children of middle and senior preschool age. Ecological games contribute to the acquisition of knowledge about natural objects and phenomena, and develop skills in careful handling of the environment.

The proposed ecology games contain interesting facts about the life of plants, including medicinal plants, and animals, questions about nature that promote the development of curiosity. Most environmental games are aimed at consolidating children's knowledge about various types of animals and plants, conditions, their habitat, feeding habits, as well as developing auditory and visual attention, thinking and memory.

Through environmental games, children become familiar with the concept of “food chain” and gain an understanding of food chains in the forest.

Ecological game "GREEN CARDS"

Goal: to train children in matching the simplest food chains of animals in nature.

Material: a set of playing cards of 36 pieces, each painted green on the back, and illustrations of various plants and animals on the front, which are arranged in such a way that a total of 18 pairs are formed (the animal is food for it).

Progress of the game: from two to six children take part in the game. Each child is given 6 cards. It is checked in advance whether there are any among them that can be paired. If the child moves correctly, the cards are put aside. The number of cards is constantly replenished up to six until they run out. The winner is the one who leaves the game first or who has the fewest cards left.

Ecological game “Zoological Stadium”

Purpose of the game: to consolidate children's knowledge about various types of animals, their nutrition, and their habitats in nature.

Material: tablet on which two running tracks, start, finish and nine moves are depicted in a circle; in the center of the stadium there are six sectors with illustrations of animals: one - a squirrel, two - a bee, 3 - swallows, 4 - a bear, 5 - an ant, 6 - a starling.

Separate cards show illustrations of food for these animals and their shelters (hollow, beehive, den, anthill, birdhouse, etc.). The set also includes a die to determine the move.

Progress of the game: two children participate in the game. Using a die, they take turns identifying the sector with the task and make three moves: the first is to name the animal, the second is to determine the food for this animal, the third is to name its shelter in nature. The one who reaches the finish line first wins.

Ecological basket

Aibolit Pharmacy"

Purpose of the game: to continue to form children’s ideas about medicinal plants and their use by humans, to practice recognizing them in illustrations.

Material: flat basket with a red-green cross on one side, a set of illustrations of medicinal plants (St. John's wort, plantain, nettle, rose hips, chamomile, etc.).

Progress of the game: the teacher asks the children riddles about medicinal plants. The child finds an illustration in the basket, names the plant and explains why it is called the “Green Doctor.”

Similar games can be played on such topics as: “Mushrooms”, Edible and inedible mushrooms”, “Berries”, “Meadow flowers”, etc.

Ecological game "Forester"

Goal: to consolidate children’s knowledge about the rules of human behavior in the forest; practice recognizing environmental warning signs.

Material: a set of triangular-shaped warning environmental signs depicting forest objects (anthill, berries, lily of the valley, edible and inedible mushrooms, cobwebs, butterflies, birdhouses, bird's nests, fires, hedgehogs, etc.).

Progress of the game: children take turns playing the role of a forester who selects one of the environmental signs lying upside down on the table and introduces the game participants to the forest objects that this sign represents; tells how to behave in the forest when near these objects.

Ecological game “WALK IN THE FOREST”

Goal: to form the right attitude towards forest inhabitants, expand children’s knowledge about the rules of behavior in the forest, and practice recognizing warning and prohibiting environmental signs.

Material: tablet with a picture of a forest clearing with several paths on which warning signs are placed; a set of prohibitory environmental signs in an envelope (for example, do not pick lilies of the valley; do not trample mushrooms, berries; do not break tree branches; do not destroy anthills; do not make fires; do not catch butterflies; do not shout; do not play loud music; do not destroy bird nests, etc. .; silhouettes of children that can be moved along the paths).

Progress of the game: The game can involve a group of children who go for a walk in the forest. At the first stage, you should lead the children along the path, tell them what is on it, and put up the appropriate environmental signs to help them follow the rules of behavior in the forest.

At the second stage, children independently travel along forest paths where various environmental signs are placed. Players must use them to explain the rules of conduct in the forest. For the correct answer - a chip. The one who collects the maximum number of chips wins.

Ecological game “BIRDS PYRAMID”

Goal: to continue to develop in children knowledge about the simplest food chains of birds in nature, to consolidate knowledge about the conditions necessary for the growth of plants and the life of animals.

Material:

The first option is planar: a set of cards of different colors (blue, yellow, black, red), simulating the conditions necessary for the growth of plants and the life of animals; sets of three cards with different illustrations of plants and birds (for example, pine - pine cone - woodpecker).

The second option is three-dimensional: a set of seven cubes, where the first to fourth cubes are of different colors, indicating the conditions necessary for the life of plants and animals; fifth - plants; sixth - bird food; seventh - birds (for example: spruce - fir cone - crossbill; rowan - rowan berries - bullfinch; algae - snail - duck; oak - acorns - jay; grass - grasshopper - stork).

Progress of the game: by analogy with the “Ecological Tower “Forest”. However, when making a pyramid, you need to pay attention to the following rules: multi-colored cubes are placed horizontally, and three cubes with illustrations of plants and animals are placed vertically on this horizontal line, one on one, in order to show food chains in nature.

"ECOLOGICAL TOWER "FOREST"

Goal: to introduce children to the concept of “food chain” and give an idea of ​​food chains in the forest.

The first option is planar: a set of cards with illustrations of four each (for example, forest - plant - herbivore - predator);

The second option is three-dimensional: four cubes of different sizes, on each side of which there are illustrations of a forest (forest - mushroom - squirrel - marten; forest - berries - hedgehog - fox; forest - flower - bee - bear; forest - acorns - wild boar - wolf; forest - birch - chafer - hedgehog; forest - pine cone - woodpecker - eagle owl, etc.)

Progress of the game: at the first stage, children play together with the teacher, starting the game with any cube.

Educator: “This is a mushroom, where does it grow?” (In the forest.) “Which animal eats mushrooms in the forest?” (Squirrel.) “Does she have enemies?” (Marten.) Next, the child is asked to create a food chain from the named objects and explain his choice. Show that if you remove one of the components of the food chain (for example, a mushroom), then the entire chain falls apart.

At the second stage, children play independently. They are invited to create their own ecological tower.

At the third stage, competition games are organized: who can quickly build a tower containing, for example, a hedgehog or a wolf.

Game "Sun"

Goal: to continue to consolidate children's knowledge about animals and their habitats.

Material: a set of task cards and wooden clothespins of different colors.

The task card is a circle divided into 6–8 sectors. Each sector contains a picture (for example: mole, octopus, fish, whale, cow, dog). In the center of the circle is the main symbol that defines the theme of the game (for example: a drop symbolizing water). The symbol helps children understand the task without the help of an adult.

Progress of the game. A drop is depicted in the center of the circle; the child must find animals for which water is a “home”, a habitat (lesson block “Water Sorceress”).

The content of several pictures in the sectors is related to the theme of the game, the rest of the pictures have nothing to do with it. When completing tasks, the child marks the necessary (that is, related to a given topic) sectors, for example, with blue clothespins, and those not related to it with red ones. Thanks to clothespins, the card with the completed task becomes like a sun.
