Card index of educational games for middle preschool age.

What educational games do children need?

A specific type of educational game for a child cannot be universal. Schoolchildren and high school students prefer tasks to test knowledge and erudition in the form of a quiz or a quiz. Those who are younger - preschoolers and students in preparatory groups - are not very willing to concentrate their attention during quiet games. For such young scholars, it is better to do a mental competition in a playful manner or, as a last resort, in the form of a board game.

Therefore, the choice of an entertaining game depends on age. The main thing is to find a way to engage the child during the exercise. Once you have captured the attention of the participants, you can easily get players to participate.

Intellectual games for children by age

Games for 3-4 years old

Small and large couple

One of the simplest games for young preschool children. It requires two pairs of objects that have different dimensions. For example, small and large chairs, as well as small and large plush toys. During the first minutes of training, you need to pick up a small toy and, in the process, point to a small chair. Same with the second pair. After this, the kids’ task is to put a small object on a small chair and vice versa.

Shop

An excellent type of game that helps develop the memory of young children. You can play this entertainment alone with your child. The competition requires a minimum of 3 people, each of whom will have their own activity. The child will be presented with a list of products that he will need to buy in the store. You need to start with 1-2 items, gradually expanding the list. For example, a bottle with soap bubbles can have the meaning of milk, etc. If possible, remove real foods from the refrigerator that will help your child succeed. So, mom can send the baby to the store, and dad will play the role of a salesman. The main thing is the ability to remember all the products, without exception, that the child reproduces to the seller.

Looking for a copy

For this game you need to find several pairs of objects. For example, cubes of the same size and color. During the activity, the parent or leader asks the participant to find the same object as in his hands. It can be hidden from all sides, but so that the object remains in the player’s horizons. You can have a speed competition if you have 3 or more identical items. The work does not require special knowledge, the main thing is logic and interest.

Mosaic

The game is great for children aged 3 years. During this period, kids love various creative riddles. Mosaic is something that will immerse a child not just in a creative, but intellectually filled world. You shouldn’t give your child complex pictures that require special perseverance. You can pick up ordinary flowers and geometric shapes on which the player will learn and develop his skills in this methodical game.

Matryoshka

Excellent entertainment for kids, which introduces children to the size of objects. It is necessary to disassemble the nesting doll and place all the items in a chaotic order. The task of the young smart people is to put the matryoshka doll together. As a rule, a child is surprised that a small object easily fits into a large one, but vice versa - not at all. This entertainment promotes individual perception of different objects and their relationship with other things.

Games for children 5-6 years old – preparatory group of kindergarten

Camera

An excellent logic game for those who have not yet reached school age, based on the logic and memory of the participants. In advance, the children are offered one of the prepared shots from the card index. This can be a simple photograph without a million details, so that the child can quickly remember the drawing. It may take 3-5 minutes to study it. After this, the participant or team must list what is shown in the picture. If difficulties arise, you can ask leading questions so that the child can build a logical answer scheme in his head.

Association

The game is perfect for kids. Educators do not need a lot of props and skills to provide fun-learning during a kindergarten class. So, during the game, the child must react if he hears a certain word in adult speech. For example, if an animal is mentioned, you need to clap your hands. If they are talking about the details of the human body, sit down or perform other physical actions. There is a high chance that the kids will focus on the story, so try to use your intonation to prompt them to the right word.

Looking for options

The child is given one of the pre-prepared cards with 6 circles drawn. Participants will be asked to draw circles so that there are equal numbers of filled and unfilled elements. Then analyze what other painting options are available. During the game, the skills of logical thinking and ingenuity are developed.

Mind and logic

For the game you need to prepare several dozen expressions that will be complemented by gifted smart people and smart girls. Expressions can be on the same topic or on different ones. The players’ task is to correctly complete the phrase in accordance with logic. Here are some examples of such phrases:

• Lemon is sour, and apple...
• Strong dad, and beautiful...
• Meat is eaten with a fork, and soup...

What is good, what is bad

Each child is given several phenomena that can rightfully be considered beneficial or harmful depending on the circumstances. The child’s task is to come up with a description of the good and bad development of the phenomenon. For example, a rainy day can be good or bad. If there is one rainy day a week, it is good for flowers and trees. But if there are a lot of rainy days, this will harm the vegetation and erode the earth. This is an excellent moral game that teaches children to distinguish between the same thing as permissible and prohibited.

Games for 7-10 years old (primary school)

What happens?

The game is suitable for a group of children. Entertainment is an excellent means for peer communication and the development of logic. So, primary school students take turns asking each other questions:

• What is hard?
• What is long?
• What is musical?
• What can you find on the Internet?

There may be dozens of such questions. Above all, they influence the ability to talk to each other and reveal the personality of young students through dialogue.

Fifth wheel

An excellent game, the use of which has a positive effect on the logical abilities of players. The main thing in this game is to competently and correctly convey the didactic material to the participants. The students’ task is to find the odd one out of 5 objects shown on the cards or shown online via a projector. For example, the words will be shown: film, cartoon, clip, video and poetry. The child must guess what will be superfluous - poetry.

Draw and cross out

An excellent game that allows you to achieve better auditory attention and concentration skills. There is no competition about who is the smartest. The main thing is to listen to the presenter correctly. Each child is given a piece of paper and a pencil. Next, the teacher (leader) begins to tell the task, for example: draw two squares, three circles and one rectangle and cross out the third object.

Dreamers

An interesting entertainment that requires pre-prepared applications in the form of cards with unfinished word combinations. Children must cope with the task, apply logic and come up with new objects from ordinary human things. Phrases on the sheet may be as follows:

• A chair without a back is...
• A music track without words is...
• Children's camp without children is...
• A computer without a keyboard is...

Aesthetic pleasure

The game will perfectly help your child test his design skills. It is unlikely that young children will be allowed to decide on their own repair and interior issues at home. And in this competition, let young participants draw the room of their dreams. They must think through all the details: where they will sleep, where they will study, where they will dress, etc. This will help show children about the important things that every person needs in life.

Games for 11-13 years old

Theater ABC

The game requires excellent acting skills. A group of at least 5 people and a driver is required. The main player leaves the room. The rest of the participants come up with a word. Each player receives a letter. This letter determines character traits. For example, z – envy, l – love, etc. When the driver returns, he must first guess all the character traits, and then put the first letters into the hidden word.

Do it according to the count

The game is designed for quick reaction and ingenuity. They choose one leader who gives it to the rest of the team members. But the main goal is to line up. So, the presenter can command “Get according to your height!”, “Get according to your age,” etc.

Hide and seek in a square

The game is different in that it is not aimed at intelligence, but rather at entertainment. Here it is important to think quickly and look for an opponent. All participants receive a serial number and close their eyes, and the driver hides. Next, player number one goes to look for the driver. To do this, set the time, for example, 3 minutes. If you manage to find the driver during this time, the searching player hides, and the next participant starts the search again. If it is not possible to find the driver, the player is eliminated.

Reliable support

This game is designed for team spirit and team building. You need to stand in a circle, lining up behind each other's heads. Players must hug each other as tightly as possible. Next, you need to sit down together so that each player kneels behind the one standing. The main task is to stretch your arms to the side in this position and not fall.

Welcome

The game is designed for attentiveness and observation. Choose one player to be the driver. He stands in the center, and all other participants sit in a circle. In this case, each player takes the hands of his neighbors. As soon as the game begins, the first participant squeezes the hand of the neighbor on the right, and the latter squeezes his neighbor. So the chain continues until the driver says “stop”. At this moment, the transmission of impulse stops, and the driver’s task is to guess who the game has stopped on. If he succeeds, this player becomes the driver.

Game "Say the Word"

It is designed for the ability to select associations for familiar words and look for relationships between them. For example: squirrel-nut. It’s worth clarifying here that the squirrel loves to eat nuts. Then, according to the analogy, the child must add a word, for example, to the word "dog"

Attention competitions for children

My color

Each player receives a pre-prepared card. All cards must be different colors. At the command of the leader, the children must line up in a minute from the lightest to the darkest card. The game perfectly trains children's attentiveness and concentration on details.

Animal Partner

An even number of players is required. In advance, the presenter prepares paired cards with images of animals. Participants get to know their animal. After this the light turns off. Players must find their match based on the sounds made. You can't speak human language. You just need to make sounds characteristic of those made by the animal shown in the picture.

Details in a circle

Children sit in a circle. The first participant names any large word, for example, house or city. The neighbor on the right must name a clarifying detail, for example, a house with windows or a city with a park. Each time, the neighbor on the right must name an increasingly smaller clarifying detail. The game perfectly develops logic and attention to detail.

Do it the other way around

The game is suitable for those who already know how to write. The presenter defines 2 commands, for example, “word” and “line”. When the presenter says “word”, you need to draw a line, and when he says “line”, you need to write a table. It is important to concentrate and not get confused in tasks. And to simplify the task for the presenter, we recommend that he give a hint in the form of “LLLSLSLSLSLLLSLL”.

Unravel us

A leader is chosen for the game. The rest of the participants join hands. The presenter will have to leave the room. The rest begin to walk in different directions, thereby becoming confused. The main thing is not to let go of each other’s hands. The task of the presenter, when he returns, is to unravel the “confusion” of his friends. The game trains memory, attentiveness, logic and thinking in children.

Didactic games in the middle group according to the Federal State Educational Standard

In the middle group, it is important to socialize preschoolers with the help of games and expand their understanding of the world around them. It is necessary to pay attention to the physical and emotional improvement of the individual, the development of observation, the ability to concentrate, to react correctly and quickly to events and other people.

Good wizards

For the game, prepare a “magic” wand, decorate it with paints or sparkles. Pupils sit in a circle. Tell them that the wand turns everyone who takes it into a kind and friendly person.

During the game, children take turns taking a stick, calling a friend sitting next to them a pleasant and affectionate adjective, then passing the “baton” to him. The game ends when all participants receive positive epithets.

Broken phone

This game, which develops auditory attention, has been played by many generations of children.

Children sit down or stand in a row. The first player whispers a certain word in the ear of the second. The second whispers to the third, and so on. The last player in the row says the word he hears out loud. If it matches what the first participant said, it means the stage was a success and the game continues. If the word turns out to be incorrect, all players, starting with the second to last one, say out loud what they heard from the previous participant. In this way, it is possible to find out who the “damaged phone” is, who heard the word incorrectly. The guilty one becomes the last in the row.

What do the animals say?

For an educational game you need a ball. Line up the students in a row and stand opposite them. Throw the ball to each player in turn, naming any animal. The task of the person who catches the ball is to pronounce the sounds made by this animal. The game ends when the last player in the row names the sound correctly.

The game can be built the other way around: pronounce sounds, and let the children remember which animal makes them.

What does the cloud look like?

If the weather permits, take the children for a walk. Let each child choose one of the clouds in the sky. On a cloudy day, use color printed images of different clouds: cumulus, stratus, cirrus. Give each child a picture. The pupils’ task is to carefully examine their cloud, tell what it looks like, like some animal or object.

What does it sound like?

For preschoolers of the middle group, it is imperative to organize musical and didactic games in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard.

For the game, prepare musical instruments familiar to preschoolers, objects that can make sounds, and an opaque canvas. Lay out the collected material on the table, cover it with a cloth so that children cannot see it. Make sounds with instruments and objects and the players have to guess what it sounds like. The winner is the one who gives the most correct answers.

Animals march

The game develops a sense of rhythm and auditory perception. To conduct it, you need to find a recording of any march.

To the sound of it, the children move in a circle. Give them commands to move like a certain animal. For example:

• say “hare” - children press their hands to their chests and jump;
• “crane” – they walk with their legs raised high;
• “horse” - they hit the floor with their foot, like a hoof;
• “eagle” - they run, waving their arms widely;
• “cancer” - backing away.

Guess the emotion

Stand in front of the children. Depict different emotions through facial expressions: joy, sadness, surprise, fear, resentment. Students must guess what mood is on your face.

What's missing?

The game develops observation and concentration. To carry it out, prepare different paintings: landscapes, portraits, still lifes.

Children should look carefully at the picture, then close their eyes. Cover any part of the picture with a piece of tape. Children, having opened their eyes, must remember which detail is hidden.

Carefree butterflies and moths

Players are divided into “butterflies” – daytime insects, and “moths” – nocturnal ones. One child becomes a “bird”. One part of the gaming room is the place where “butterflies” fly, the other part is where “moths” fly. One of the corners is a “nest”.

The “bird” gets into the “nest”. The remaining players stand in their part of the playing hall. When the presenter says “day”, the “butterflies” begin to run and dance. When the presenter says the word “night,” the “butterflies” should freeze and the “moths” begin to move. If one of the players moves at the wrong time, the “bird” attacks him and takes him into the “nest”. The “insects” win, which the “bird” could not take.

Two-Bit

Pupils sit in a row on chairs. The presenter comes forward, begins to make faces, and tells something funny. His goal is to make his comrades laugh. And the players’ task is not to laugh, to keep a serious face. The one who cannot stand it changes with the leading roles.

Gaming memory development

What's missing?

You need to lay out several images on the table. The child looks at them, and the presenter tells a story about each image, after which the player turns away. During this time, the presenter must remove one photo. After which the child must not only understand which image has disappeared, but also tell what it meant.

I'll name everything

The guys sit in a circle. Together they choose a common topic. After which the first participant says a word. The second player must say the first word of the first participant and his new one. So each child must supplement the chain of words with his own. The main thing is not to lose your way.

Route

The player is blindfolded. The leader leads him along the intended route, telling him how many steps and where to go. At the end of the route, the participant is untied and turned around. His task is to do all the steps exactly the opposite and find the “start” point.

Toy queue

The presenter lines up 5-6 toys one after another, explaining who is behind whom. After which the presenter says that the toys needed to go to their owners, and when they returned, they could not restore the line one after another. We need to help them and line them up correctly one after another.

What's on the tray?

The presenter puts 5-10 small things on the tray. For one minute, the participant looks at the tray and remembers what is on it. After this, the presenter covers it with a towel or other rag, and the participant’s task is to remember all the things that are on it.

Development of critical thinking in a child

Why

The game is suitable for any conditions. She will teach the child to think and analyze. You can even play it on the way to kindergarten or school. The child needs to constantly ask questions that do not contain an answer. It is important that in the process of reasoning the baby learns to analyze and look for a cause-and-effect relationship. For example, “why shouldn’t you jump into a puddle?”, “why is yelling at your parents bad?” etc.

Make up the end

The game will perfectly help your child develop not only critical thinking, but also imagination. So, you need to read a fairy tale or story with your children. At the most unpredictable moment, you need to stop and ask the child to figure out the ending of the story. After this, you can compare the endings of the child and the author, finding the pros and cons of both options.

If... then...

This entertainment is great for teaching kids how to find cause-and-effect relationships. The presenter says a few phrases that will let the participants understand the essence. For example, if it rains tomorrow, you need to take an umbrella with you, or if you miss school tomorrow, you will fall behind in several subjects. Then the presenter says only the first part of the expression, and the players continue.

Debate

Players must be divided into 2 teams. After which the presenter offers to choose one of the proposed topics or actions. One team should say the pros, and the second - the cons. The game perfectly helps you learn to compare facts, think critically, and develop a competitive spirit.

Persuasion

Which, no matter how much evidence proves the opposite, teaches a child to insist on his own and find irrefutable evidence. So, in this game, you will have to tell the child, for example, that it only seems to him that the grass is green. It's actually purple. The child, naturally, will not agree and will try to explain to you why the grass is green.

Intellectual games for children

During a long trip, in rainy weather or in the countryside, away from toys, you can keep your child busy with an exciting and useful game. Intellectual games are good because they are accessible and develop the child. With their help, time will fly by unnoticed. And at the same time, they do not require cash costs or special preparation.

Direction of intellectual games

Intellectual games have enormous potential and allow you to develop:

• Memory. During the game, both involuntary and voluntary memory works - even preschool children will perfectly remember information presented in this form.
• Attention. In an interesting game, the child concentrates it as much as possible, trying not to lose sight of the smallest details.
• Thinking. By thinking about a complex but exciting problem, a student will be able to excellently train this skill and master solution algorithms for the future.
• Logic. Intellectual games are inextricably linked with logical thinking; they allow you to instill its basics in young children and improve it in older students.
• Speech. A number of games, using the child’s speech, develop the articular apparatus and help to learn new grammatical structures.

The game can have its own specifics and be aimed at developing only one of these processes or train several skills. In today's article we will look at multitasking games. In addition to the above processes, they will also help develop imagination, creative thinking, fine motor skills, etc.

Principles of using intellectual games

When offering a game to your child, it is important to remember the following principles:

• The game should be interesting. Offer your child an exciting time, instill a spirit of competition in him and monitor his behavior during the game. If enthusiasm quickly dries up, it is better to change the task.
• The game should have an optimal level of difficulty. Too easy - it will not be able to attract the child’s attention for a long time; too complex - it can upset him, cause displeasure or resentment.
• The child needs support, help and praise. Be prepared for the fact that you yourself will have to rack your brains over the problem - the child should feel your interest and see your participation. Praise his successes, but do not over-praise, and reduce criticism to a minimum or remove it altogether.
