Coming from a walk, the teacher tells the children that two boys had a fight on the street today. Invites opponents to sit opposite each other on the “Rug of Reconciliation” in order to find out the cause of the discord and find a way to peacefully resolve the problem. This game is also used when discussing “How to share a toy.”
“Draw a proverb”
Goal: to develop the ability to use non-verbal means of communication.
Children are invited to depict a proverb using gestures and facial expressions:
“The word is not a sparrow - it will fly out and you won’t catch it”

Children stand opposite each other and perform the game exercise “Through the Glass”. They need to imagine that there is thick glass between them, it does not allow sound to pass through. One group of children will need to be shown (for example, “You forgot to put on your hat,” “I’m cold,” “I’m thirsty...”) and the other group will have to guess what they saw.
"Press conference"
Goal: to develop the ability to politely answer interlocutors’ questions, formulate a response briefly and correctly; develop speech skills.
All children in the group participate in a press conference on any topic (for example: “Your day off”, “Excursion to the zoo”, “Friend’s birthday”, “At the circus”, etc.). One of the participants in the press conference, the “guest” (the one who will be asked all the questions), sits in the center and answers any questions from the children.
"Understand me"
Goal: to develop the ability to navigate people’s role positions and communicative situations.
The child comes forward and comes up with a speech of 4-5 sentences. Children must guess who is speaking (tour guide, journalist, teacher, literary character) and in what situation such words are possible. For example, “And then everyone went to the starting line. 5,4,3,2,! – start! (The situation is a competition between athletes, says the sports commentator).
"Without a mask"
Goal: develop the ability to share your feelings, experiences, mood with friends.
Before the game starts, the teacher tells the children how important it is to be honest, open and frank towards their loved ones and comrades.
All participants sit in a circle. Children, without preparation, continue the statement started by the teacher. Here is the approximate content of unfinished sentences:
“What I really want is...”;
“I especially don’t like it when...”;
“Once I was very frightened by the fact that...”;
“I remember an incident when I felt unbearably ashamed. I…".
"Mirror"
This game can be played alone with a child or with several children. The child looks in the “mirror”, which repeats all his movements, gestures, and facial expressions. The “mirror” can be a parent or another child. You can portray not yourself, but someone else, “Mirror” must guess, then switch roles. Play helps the child open up, feel more free and relaxed.
"Film Reel"
Goal: development of non-verbal means of communication, memory development.
Number of players: group (6-7 people).
Description of the game: children sit in a circle and create a movie “from the first word.” The first child comes up with a word, the second must repeat it and add one of his own words, the third must repeat the first two words and say his own, the fourth must repeat the first three words and say the fourth, etc. When all the children have said what they want, they must show the film with with the help of plasticity and facial expressions.
Comment: Instead of showing a movie, the game can end with composing a fairy tale or story using the suggested words. If an adult sets the task of muscular emancipation of children, development of the ability to convey their feelings and experiences non-verbally (facial expressions and pantomime), then it is better to use the first option for ending the game.
"Interview"
Goal: development of communication skills, active vocabulary, ability to enter into dialogue.
Number of players: 3 or more people.
Necessary equipment: chair.
Description of the game: children choose a leader, and then, imagining that they are adults, take turns standing on a chair and answering the questions that the leader will ask them. The presenter asks the child to introduce himself by name and patronymic, talk about where and who he works for, whether he has children, what hobbies he has, etc.
Comment: at the first stages of the game, children often find it difficult to select questions. In this case, the adult takes on the role of leader, offering the children a sample dialogue. Questions can concern anything, but you must remember that the conversation must be “adult”.
This game helps to get to know children who have just joined the group, as well as to involve shy children in communication. If the children are still very new to each other, the rule can be changed a little: the child who caught the ball says the name of the previous player, then his own, and then (if he knows) the name of the child to whom he will throw the ball.
"Let's talk"
Goal: development of communication skills.
Number of players: 2 or more people.
Description of the game: an adult and a child (or children) play. The adult begins the game with the words: “Let's talk. I would like to become... (wizard, wolf, small). How do you think why?". The child makes an assumption and a conversation ensues. In the end, you can ask what the child would like to become, but you cannot judge his desire and you cannot insist on an answer if he does not want to admit for some reason.
Comment: this game is useful for introverted and shy people, as in a playful way it teaches the child not to be afraid of communication, and puts him in a situation where he needs to make contact.
In the initial stages, children may be reluctant to ask questions or engage in play. Then an adult should take the initiative.
Important point! In the game, the adult should be on the same level as the child, and in case of difficulties, below him.
"Glomerulus"
Goal: development of communication skills.
Number of players: group of children.
Necessary equipment: a ball of thread.
Description of the game: children sit in a semicircle. The adult stands in the center and, winding a thread around his finger, throws a ball to the child, while asking about something (what is your name, what do you love, what are you afraid of). The child catches the ball, winds the thread around his finger, answers the question and asks a question, passing the ball to the next player. If the child finds it difficult to answer, he returns the ball to the leader.
Comment: This game helps children see the common connections between them, and helps adults identify which of the children have communication difficulties. It will be useful for children who are not sociable, and it can also be used in groups of unfamiliar participants.
A child can also be chosen as the leader.
When all the participants are connected by a thread, the adult should fix their attention on the fact that all people are somewhat similar and this similarity is quite easy to find. And it's always more fun when you have friends.
"Living Picture"
Goal: development of expressiveness of movements, arbitrariness, communication skills.
Number of players: any.
Description of the game: children create a story scene and freeze. They can change their position only after the driver guesses the name of the “picture”.
Comment: despite the fact that the main goal of the game is to create a “living picture”, the emphasis in it is on developing the ability to negotiate and find a common language. This game will be especially useful for children who have difficulties in communication (conflict, aggressive, shy, withdrawn). It is better for an adult to take the position of an observer. His intervention is required only in the event of a quarrel between children.
"Skyscraper"
Goal: developing the ability to negotiate and work in a team.
Number of players: 5-6 people.
Necessary equipment: folding meter; 2-3 wooden cubes (can be of different sizes) for each child.
Description of the game: children sit in a circle, and in the center of the circle they need to build a skyscraper. Children take turns placing their cubes (one at a time). At the same time, they can discuss where it is better to put the cube so that the skyscraper does not fall. If at least one cube falls, construction begins again. An adult observing the progress of construction periodically measures the height of the building.
Comment: an adult in this game takes the place of an outside observer. He can intervene in the course of the game only if an unconstructive conflict arises. Children must independently try to find a common language, pursuing a game goal: to build the tallest tower possible, more or less stable.
At the end of the game, the adult can draw an analogy between the tower and teamwork, explaining to the children that friendship and the ability to come to a common decision is the basis that can keep the tower from falling and the group from falling apart.
