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.

• ask the holder of the item leading questions;
• persuade, beg the player to reveal the secret;
• offer a gift for revealing a secret;
• offer to reveal your secret in return.

It is important to ensure that players do not deceive each other. The game ends when the last player tells his secret. If a player becomes stubborn and refuses to reveal a secret, you need to gently push him to change his behavior, instill in him the importance of being open, friendly, and sociable.

Show me the word

The game task is to depict a given word through facial expressions and body movements. The presenter says, for example, “little bear.” Then he calls one of the players and asks him to imitate what was said. Then he pronounces another word - “loves”, calls the second participant, asks him to depict this verb. The rest of the players say in chorus what their comrades are pretending to say: “The little bear loves...”. Next, the presenter asks you to come up with a third word that will complete the phrase.

Talking portrait

Mail
