Choosing a game taking into account the characteristics of the child’s age development
The choice of gaming material is determined by the age group of the children. At the age of 5-6 years, board and printed games take into account such developmental features as:
- the need to work in small groups (2-4 people). Lotto and dominoes with pictures, cubes, puzzles (for example, “Fold the pattern”) are suitable for this.
- awareness of teamwork. The games from the previous paragraph and others, for example, games with a field card, correspond to this feature. Materials are actively used to consolidate knowledge about types of transport and the use of objects;
- At this age, it is possible to show intolerance towards the help of a teacher or other adult, which requires independence in the game process. The eldest retains the role of leader. A lesson with the designation of opposing concepts, tasks for mastering professions, is suitable.
When working with children, make sure that everyone has enough props. Each child should have their own set of cards, chips or puzzle pieces. When first introduced to the material, students will need time to study what is proposed before the game begins. In the older group, children are offered different puzzle plots, since the process of combining elements itself fades into the background. If they have free time, children can exchange sets of mosaic elements.
Timing game plan
All elements of the educational process in kindergarten must be strictly timed. Only in this case there will be no violations of discipline, and all new information will be perceived as efficiently as possible. The game plan consists of 3 important stages:
- Introduction – 1–2 minutes. The teacher explains or reminds the rules of the game and distributes the necessary materials. If they are already prepared on the tables, then the purpose of each is explained.
- The game itself takes 3–7 minutes. The teacher helps and guides the children’s actions if necessary.
- Summing up – 1–2 minutes. At this stage, it is important to praise each participant, regardless of the success of the results of his game.
Even the lotto game is played under the supervision of an adult
An example of the timing of the game “Where can I buy this?”
When studying the topic “Shopping,” the teacher explains to the kids in which departments of the store this or that product is sold. The purpose of this game is to consolidate children’s knowledge about various products and departments of stores (grocery, hardware, etc.), develop the ability to navigate the environment, and cultivate a desire to help adults.
- Explanation of the rules: children discuss where mothers buy certain products, then the adult hands out small pictures of the products, and hangs a large poster on the wall depicting various departments of the store (2 minutes).
- Children arrange the pictures into the appropriate sections, explaining their choice (2 minutes).
- Summing up (3 minutes).
Game “Where can I buy this?” develops the preschooler’s ability to navigate the world around him
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 fun not only for the sake of variety of leisure time, but also for the sake of understanding the principle and algorithm of putting on clothes. 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. |
“Loto” 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 matching all sides of the existing cubes. These are complicated puzzles. |

Rules of the game.
Option 1 . The game involves 1-5 children. Large cards with images of rooms are located on the table with the picture down. Each participant in the game chooses one card and turns it over. The leader creates a mess in the rooms: he mixes all the small cards, distributes them among the rooms and invites the preschoolers to remove them from their room and put cards with pictures of objects that are not intended for it in the center of the table. We invite the children to explain their choice. If from 2 to 5 children participate in the game, then the preschooler who completed the task the fastest wins. If only one child participates, then the speed of completing the task is not taken into account.
Option 2
. Children clean up the rooms, as in version 1 of the game. Then each child chooses from all the objects removed from the rooms and located in the center of the table only those that are suitable for his room.
Option 3
. Images of everyday objects are already laid out on large cards. The presenter invites the children to look at them and leave only those that are suitable for each room.
Lotto “Everything has its place”
Rules of the game.
Option 1 . From 2 to 5 children participate in the game. Each preschooler chooses one image of the room. The presenter has small cards with images of household objects, he names them sequentially and shows pictures. Children place these cards in rooms, taking into account the purpose of the objects. The child who collects all the items for his room the fastest wins.
Option 2
. After preschoolers have placed objects in the rooms, the presenter asks them to name the location of the specified object in relation to other things.
Option 3
. Small cards lie in the center of the table. The presenter invites the players to choose for their room only those items that have the property he named. For example: find all yellow objects; place all soft objects in the room; Place only fragile items in the room. The child who collects the most objects with the specified properties in the room wins.
Option 4
. This version of the game involves from 2 to 5 or more children. Each participant has their own task. For example, we ask one child to find all the soft objects in the apartment, the second - all the hard objects, and the third - all the light objects. The one who completes the task faster wins.
“Help Clean Up” game set
in the NOD "Our Apartment".
Tasks
: clarify and expand vocabulary; develop speech hearing, visual attention, memory, dialogic speech.
Progress of the game
The teacher places images of rooms on nearby easels, invites the children to look at them and name them. Preschoolers name the kitchen, bathroom, living room, hallway and children's room. Then the teacher draws the children’s attention to the subject pictures on the table and asks them to name the pictures one by one. When all the pictures have been examined and named, he suggests combining them into groups based on functionality and naming them using general words: dishes, clothes, toys, furniture and others. Preschoolers complete the task.
At the next stage of the activity, the teacher invites the children to place these pictures on easels under the images of rooms suitable for them.
Preschoolers take one picture at a time, name them in turn, indicate the purpose of the objects and choose rooms for them. For example: This is a sofa. It is needed to rest and sleep. The sofa is in the living room. This is a racing car. She is needed to play. The car is in the children's room along with other toys.
As the tasks progress, the teacher asks clarifying questions; creates conditions for children’s participation in discussing the properties and purpose of household items, turning to their experience; encourages participants in the dialogue. You can use the game set to solve other problems, for example, to strengthen counting skills or solve descriptive riddles.

On the “Carpet Casket” in three cells on the first row there are any two figures (there can be: images of geometric shapes, objects, letters, numbers, people, heroes of the “Purple Forest”, animals, transport - on any topic currently being studied in group).
In the second row, below them, in three cells, these same two figures are located in a different order (for example, in the 1st row - a square, an empty cell, a circle; in the 2nd row - an empty cell, a circle, a square).
Task: rearrange the figures in the second row so that they are in the same order as in the first row.
Condition: you can only place a piece on an empty space.
Children can rearrange the figures themselves on the “Carpet Casket” one by one; The teacher encourages the children to pronounce the necessary actions: which cell is free, what needs to be placed there, where the desired figure is, how the figure can be placed - how many cells to the right or left it needs to be moved.
For children who successfully complete different versions of tasks and exercises, a larger number of cells are used in the game - 4, 5, 6 and up to 10.
The whole group of children on their “Mini-Larchiks” does the same work as on the “Kovrograph Chest”. You can first ask the children to rearrange the figures on their mats themselves. Then check how it turned out on the Carpet, each time the child must pronounce his actions - which cell is empty, which figure needs to be put there, where this figure is, how to move it to the empty cell.
Options for solving problems may be different for each child, depending on the arrangement of the figures. When children cope with easy tasks on 3 cells, we increase the number of cells from 4 to 10.
