Didactic game “Vegetables and fruits”
The purpose of the didactic game “Vegetables, Fruits” is to form an idea about garden and vegetable plants, the place and method of their growth, to consolidate in memory the correct names of fruits, to develop the ability to distinguish vegetables from fruits by external signs.
The middle group of kindergarteners plays an educational game.
For the lesson, you need to prepare models of trees and garden beds from dense material, and cut out recognizable images of fruits and vegetables.
The teacher lays out pictures of fruits in front of the children, asks them to name them, tell where they grow - on trees or garden beds. The students’ task is to correctly determine the place where the crop grows, attach it to a fake tree or place it on a garden bed.
Another version of the game is possible: the teacher places all the pictures on the tree, asks the children whether all the fruits are hanging correctly and which ones need to be moved to the garden.
For the older group of kindergarteners, you can complicate the task by offering:
- separate fruits and root vegetables by color;
- name the geometric shape of vegetables and fruits;
- ask what can be put in a dessert vase and what can be used to make a salad.

4 4. Didactic game “The Fourth Extra” Goal: To consolidate the ability to find the fourth extra object and explain why it is extra. Tasks. Develop verbal and logical thinking, the ability to classify, compare, generalize, establish cause-and-effect, spatio-temporal, logical connections. Develop visual perception. Develop monologue and dialogic speech. Cultivate attentiveness Materials: cards with images of four objects, one of which does not fit the general classification. Assignment for children: find and name an extra object, explain why it is extra.
5 5. Didactic game “Tops and Roots”, Purpose: To consolidate knowledge that vegetables have edible roots - roots and fruits - tops, some vegetables have both tops and roots edible; practice assembling a whole plant from its parts. Game rules. You can look for your top or spine only when given a signal. You can’t pair up with the same player all the time; you have to look for another pair. Game actions. Search for a pair; composition of a whole plant. Progress of the game. Option 1. After harvesting in his garden, an adult gathers the children, showing them what a good harvest they have grown, praising them for their useful work. Then he clarifies the children’s knowledge that some plants have edible roots - roots, others have fruits - tops, and some plants have both tops and roots edible. An adult explains the rules of the game: “Today we will play a game called “Tops and Roots.” On our table are the tops and roots of plants—vegetables. We will now divide into two groups: one group will be called tops, and the other will be called roots. (Children are divided into two groups.) There are vegetables on the table; The children of the first group take the top in their hands, and the children of the second group take the spine. Have you taken everything? And now, at the signal (clap your hands), you will all scatter around the area and run in all directions. When you hear the signal “One, two, three - find your pair!”, quickly find a pair for yourself: the spine to your top. The game is repeated, but you have to look for another top (or spine).

8 7. Didactic game “Guess by taste, smell” Purpose: to consolidate children’s knowledge about fruits and vegetables, develop sensory skills, taste cues, develop imaginative thinking, speech Materials: washed fruits and vegetables laid out on a tray, knife, napkins Game rules : children sit in a semicircle near a tray of vegetables and fruits.

9 8. Didactic game “Fold the picture” Materials: cards size 15/15 with images of fruits and vegetables, cut into 4 parts. Goal: to teach children to make a whole from parts, based on color and shape. Know the names of vegetables and fruits. Game actions: First, several whole pictures are laid out in front of the children, on which vegetables and fruits are drawn. Then all the pictures are mixed.

"Tops and Roots"
To consolidate knowledge about the way cultivated plants grow, you can play an outdoor game, for which you will need dummies or images of garden and garden fruits.
The teacher shows the picture, the children name the depicted fruit. When asked where it grows, they answer with physical actions:
- on a tree (fruit) - stretch their arms up;
- on the ground (vegetables) - stretch their arms forward;
- underground (root crops) – squat.
Guess by description
A didactic game about fruits and vegetables is built in the form of questions and answers. The teacher names the signs, asks what vegetable he described, and the children must guess and answer. For example:
- red, round, juicy, fleshy (tomato);
- sharp, hot, white inside, with a yellow husk, with thin leaves (onions);
- green, oval, crispy, covered with pimples (cucumber);
- large, round, orange, with a thick crust, with healthy seeds (pumpkin);
- long, triangular, orange, grows in the ground, with curly greenery (carrot).
Stamps from vegetables and fruits
Cutting and making stamps from vegetable peels and fruit pulp is a game and fun activity. Even those who do not know how to draw can create their own unique pattern or a whole drawing using such an unusual technique. With the help of such prints you can decorate a tablecloth or bag, create original wrapping paper, design a gift card, or you can label jars of homemade preserves.
What you will need : pieces of potatoes, carrots or pumpkin; onions, cauliflower, celery, citrus fruits give beautiful prints. As well as paint, paper or fabric.
What develops : fine motor skills, coordination of movements, artistic imagination.
It will be easiest for a child to cut out the simplest geometric shapes - a circle, a triangle, a square. Experiment with cookie cutters. Cut a large potato in half lengthwise, cut out a shape from half with a mold and trim off the excess flesh along the contour. Dip the figure in paint and make an imprint on a piece of paper. Using a knife, you can try to cut out more complex irregular shapes - leaves, trees, flowers.
