Purpose: to train children to distinguish primary colors, etc., to develop visual memory
How to play: Children stand in a circle or in a line. The teacher places 3-5 objects on the floor in front of the children (a cube, a flag, a rattle, a ball, etc.) and asks them to remember them. Then, at the teacher’s signal, the players turn their backs to the center of the circle or face the wall. The teacher hides one or two objects and says: “Look!” Children turn to face the center of the circle and look closely at the objects, remembering which ones are not there. The teacher approaches some of the children in turn, and they whisper in a whisper what objects are hidden. When most of the players correctly name the hidden objects, the teacher calls them out loud.
If toys are used in the game, it is better to select toys of the same type, depicting either animals, birds, or trees. The game can be played this way: only one child turns away when the teacher removes the objects, and then determines which object is hidden. The rest of the players should not give him any hints.
