Games for schoolchildren. Their role and significance in the development of children.

All children love to play. But despite all the seeming frivolity, play is an integral part of childhood, having a tremendous impact on various aspects of human development. In fact, in the game, children learn socialization and independence skills, reveal their creative potential and find solutions to many problems that they will face in adulthood.

School-age children need games to expend physical energy and develop mental abilities. Play can easily teach children new concepts that would likely be boring in a typical classroom setting. The most interesting games at this age are those that are friendly competition. Such games for schoolchildren can be both physical and sports competitions and intellectual duels.

How do games for schoolchildren affect physical development?

Without a doubt, physical activity during sports and other games benefits the developing body. During outdoor games, especially if they take place in the fresh air, blood oxygen saturation increases and metabolism accelerates, which in turn is the prevention of excess weight in children - a pressing problem of our time. Physical activity in the fresh air helps strengthen the immune system and helps expend excess energy, which has a beneficial effect on children’s perseverance and attention during lessons.

Traffic light

Two boundaries are marked in space - like two sides of a street. The water stands in the middle, with its back to the other children remaining on one side. He names a color and turns to face everyone. Those who have this color in their clothes move to the other “side of the street.” Those who are missing run across, and the water catches them. The one caught becomes new water. In this case, you can name any colors, not just those that are in the traffic light.

How do games for schoolchildren affect social development?

When children reach the age of six, their main activity is playing with other children. In the process of playing together, children learn to listen, empathize, and support. They will use these skills in communicating with people throughout their lives.

During the game, students also learn conflict resolution and negotiation skills. Play activities help develop social skills from an early age and ensure that children strive to find common ground with each other and a sense of belonging.

Outdoor games

Outdoor games

Outdoor games are one of the ways to develop a child physically. They allow you to relieve physical fatigue from your muscles and achieve an emotional switch from one type of activity to another. Outdoor games are especially loved by children, because they are an important source of joyful emotions. Games stimulate active work, thoughts, help broaden one's horizons and improve all mental processes. Outdoor games form positive moral qualities in children. Kindness, mutual assistance, support, courage, attentiveness, mutual assistance are highly valued among the players, and qualities such as cowardice, selfishness, and boasting are condemned. Most often, outdoor play begins with the choice of a leader. In some games, everyone wants to drive, and in some games, no one wants to drive. Therefore, we suggest choosing a leader using counting rhymes. To do this, the participants in the game must stand in a circle, and one person will begin to recite the counting rhyme. Each participant has to pronounce a word or syllable. The one who has to say the last word (syllable) of the counting rhyme will become the leader.

Competitions can be held in outdoor games, as well as in sports ones. The simplest of them are competitions and attractions organized during the holidays or regardless of this. A more complex type of competition is a championship between several teams in one of the outdoor games, such as, for example, “Shootout”, “Ball for the Catcher”, “Circular Lapta”, “Pioneerball”, “Russian Lapta”, “Pioner Lapta”. Competitions in outdoor games help to develop children's organization and collectivism, honesty and the will to win. They contribute to the education of organizers - the leaders of games, and the introduction of games into everyday life.

Without detracting from the importance of competitions in individual games, it is important to note that the most valuable from a pedagogical point of view are competitions in a set of outdoor games, such as “Fun Starts”, “Sportlandia”, “Do with us!”, “Sports Family”, etc.

The complex includes outdoor games with a variety of motor actions, various technical and tactical actions that require the manifestation of various skills and moral and volitional qualities. Such competitions (where, along with children, adults often also participate: parents, counselors) require participants to be fully prepared and, in turn, contribute to their physical development.

If children of different ages participate in competitions, then tasks and games must correspond to their age characteristics and physical development. The different interests and physical abilities of boys and girls, especially teenagers, are also taken into account.

You can use different games (there can be 6-10 of them in total) for boys and girls, or combine them in one team, which usually consists of 10 people (which is pedagogically more valuable), but give them different tasks. So, boys in a relay race, for example, lead the ball with their feet, and girls hit the ground with their hands. If children of different ages participate in the relay race, then the younger ones are given easier tasks. In the same relay race (stages) there may be different tasks, but they must be the same for each team.

Competitions are held on a round-robin basis, where each of, for example, four teams plays with each other, trying to score more points. Competitions can also be held according to the Olympic system, where the losing team is eliminated. Consolation games can be played with eliminated teams. For winning each game, the team receives the number of points established by regulation. For example, 3 points for a win, 2 points for a draw and 1 point for a loss. Typically, the complex competition program takes 1-1.5 hours. Competitions in outdoor games can be held all year round: in the gym, on the playground, on the skating rink, on the snow playground. The selection of outdoor games also depends on the time of year and conditions.

Outdoor games contribute to team unification, mass participation of children in physical exercise, and are a wonderful means of comprehensive physical development.

And further. Outdoor games can also become a means of leading up to the sports games that children love so much.

But just the desire to play and knowledge of games is not enough. It is still necessary to convey them to the children, with knowledge of the matter, sometimes carefully reveal the content, arouse interest in them. Otherwise, even the most exciting game may be rejected. Apparently, this forces some counselors to follow the path of least resistance, that is, to “drive” football. Here, they say, everything is clear to the guys. And if the pioneer is weak or has not matured, then let him sit and watch.

The counselor should show due persistence in acquiring the ability to conduct outdoor games for children of different ages, and camp organizers should show instructive classes for counselors.

So, before playing a game, you need to not only know its content well, but also other important points: the age of the children, have an idea about the team, take into account what they did before, where the game will be held (on a walk, in the forest, in the hall or sports field).

Outdoor games always require motor efforts from the players, aimed at achieving a conditional goal specified in the rules. The peculiarity of outdoor games is their competitive, creative, collective nature. They demonstrate the ability to act together with a team in constantly changing conditions. What is the most important thing in organizing such games. Each game has its own game task: “catch”, “catch”, “find”, etc. Try to captivate the children with it and interest them. Sometimes it’s useful to play on the guys’ pride by expressing “doubt” about their strength and dexterity. Draw a vivid picture of the upcoming action in front of the children. At the beginning, you shouldn’t limit yourself to just one routine phrase: “And now we’re going to play...”. When organizing outdoor games, remember that it is better if you are as much a participant in them as the guys. Each game has its own rules. Explain them clearly. This can be done more effectively if, simultaneously with the story, you show actions, i.e. create a figurative idea of ​​the game. Let one of the guys repeat after you what will require special attention in the game. If the rules are not followed during the game, pause the game, make a cheerful commentary on what is happening and show what the mistake is. During the game, be emotional and spontaneous. Cheer the guys up. A comic report about what is happening is also possible. If you lose interest in the game, try complicating the rules, this usually inspires you. But remember: a game is a game as long as it gives the characters a wide range of behaviors, as long as their actions cannot be predicted in advance. Don't miss the moment when it's best to finish the game. And yet, some games require simple equipment, prepare it in advance. Think carefully about where it is best for you to organize the game. Let it be a comfortable and safe place. Often, to play games you need to break into teams; for this, keep a few original rhymes in stock.

How do games for schoolchildren affect children's behavior in the classroom?

A 2011 study conducted at Deakin University in Australia demonstrated that play not only affects overall development, but also has a beneficial effect on behavior. Children who participated in the experiment and played outdoor team games showed significantly less aggression towards peers (pushing, kicking, slapping, verbal altercations) than children from the control group, whose physical activity was minimal during the study.

Outdoor games for schoolchildren cause the release of endorphins into the blood - hormones that cause a feeling of moderate euphoria. This helps to improve children's mood during the day and, as a result, a more favorable psychological climate in the classroom.

What to rely on when choosing a game

First of all, it is necessary to create comfortable conditions for the game. This does not mean that all games should take place on specialized playgrounds or with special props. It is precisely the material side of the issue that in such cases does not play a role at all, since the child’s imagination allows him to make a sword out of any twig, and a desert out of a sandbox. In this situation, it is important to create psychological comfort. The child should feel free, he should have the opportunity to show initiative and independence.

It is imperative to think in advance about how to react to the negative aspects of any game. Here the parents themselves need to try to set a positive example, and try to help the child work through their negative emotions.

And, of course, any game should also be educational. But even here we must not forget about freedom and independence, since the child must come to any conclusions himself, otherwise it will not be effective.

How do games for schoolchildren affect mental development and creativity?

Currently, the curriculum includes not only classical classes, but also gaming ones. Games for schoolchildren are becoming a regular learning activity, and its impact on all-round development has already been proven by numerous studies. During gameplay, schoolchildren develop performance skills, which include inhibitory control (the ability to work without distraction), memory and cognitive flexibility (the ability to adapt to changing working conditions). The skill of execution is extremely important for achieving academic success and career growth.

Games for schoolchildren are an indispensable condition for the development of creative potential and the desire to learn new things. When children's imagination is stimulated during games, children learn a variety of ways to get out of critical situations and problems. The game also gives children the skills of risk and perseverance, which will serve them well in their careers and adult life in general.

The quieter you go, the further you'll get

The driver stands with his back to the other children at a great distance and says: “You drive more quietly, you will go further, stop.” While he is speaking, other children run towards him, but at the word “stop” they freeze in place. The water turns sharply and notices the one who did not have time to freeze - he is eliminated. The goal is to run to the driver and cross the conventional line on which he stands.

Games for schoolchildren in the classroom

When introducing games for students in the classroom, you need to choose ones that will allow children to practice basic skills such as spelling and math in a fun and entertaining way. For example, the game “Categories”.

Children are divided into 2 teams and choose captains. The teacher assigns a category to each team (for example, animals or products) and starts a timer. In the allotted time (say, 2 minutes), the captain must write down a word corresponding to the category from each team member. After the commands, they take turns spelling their words. The winner is the guys who pronounce the most words without mistakes.

Classics

They draw on the asphalt with chalk, or draw figures from squares on the ground with a stick. By jumping on one leg and pushing a pebble with it, children move to the place where it rolled. You cannot step on the line - on the boundaries of the squares. You can alternate legs with each jump. At the end of the figure a cauldron or fire can be drawn; this square cannot be entered. Having reached it, the player must deftly turn over in a jump and start jumping in the opposite direction.
