GAMES ON THE WAY TO KINDERGARTEN Unslept kids are usually capricious in the morning, moms and dads start to get nervous, shout at them, and they whine even more in response - the morning is ruined, both for parents and children. What to do? Distract your beloved child with simple games. Has your child recently become acquainted with geometric shapes? You can take turns with him to name all the round objects that you meet along the way. The day before, did you explain to your baby what colors there are? Offer to find only red objects among the surrounding objects. There is no need to name several colors: it is better to show only one, for example red, and look for red objects for several days in a row (and maybe more depending on the baby’s capabilities). When the child shows them accurately, you can move on to another color. In a similar way, you can work on the child’s perception of size (large, small, medium). It is also advisable to note changes in nature and the environment around you on a calendar specially created together with the child. GAMES IN THE BATHROOM Pour water into a plastic bucket and invite the child to determine how many glasses of water it contains by pouring the water into another bucket, and then use a ladle to pour water from a full bucket into an empty one. In this game you can introduce your child to the concepts of “a lot and a little”, “full and empty”, “half”, “at the bottom”, “over the edge”. Place several light rubber balls in a bowl of water, the same number of balls for the child in hand. Having moved away to a distance of 0.5 - 1 m, the child throws his balls, trying to hit the balls in the water. If this works, the balls are removed from the water; if not, then the baby’s balls remain in the water. The game ends when there is not a single ball left in the basin. GAMES BETWEEN WORK While doing household chores, adults can attract the child’s attention to interesting events and phenomena. “Now you and I will rustle. Like this..". With these words, the adult shakes off the newspaper, crumples candy wrappers, ties a matchbox by a string and pulls it behind him, runs his palm over any surface (“Ringles”), and you can also play “Ringers”, “Knockers”, “Skripelki” and etc. Donate an old pillow and pillowcase so your child can make a toy out of it. Tie the pillow in the middle, glue or sew ribbons (hair) on top. Draw a face with a felt-tip pen and dress the doll in her favorite clothes to give her the most romantic look possible. The easiest way to make a doll is to stuff a paper bag with newspaper, twist it in the middle and tie it with an elastic band. GAMES IN THE KITCHEN It's no secret that mothers spend a significant part of their time in the kitchen. The kitchen can become a place for intimate, confidential conversations, jokes and fun. In addition, the kitchen is an excellent school where the child acquires useful skills and knowledge. Of course, special precautions are required to protect the child from burns, electric shocks, poisoning and sharp objects. But if you take care of safety, you will get another chance to have a pleasant and useful time. Boiled egg shells will serve as an excellent material for children's applications . Crumble it into pieces that your child can pick up with their fingers. Apply a thin piece of plasticine to the cardboard - this is the background, and then invite the child to lay out a drawing or pattern from the shell. Playing with dough can be fun. For this you need not ordinary dough, but salted dough (after drying, it becomes like a stone). Crafts made from it are stored for a very long time, you can play with them. The recipe is very simple: 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of salt, 1 cup of water (it can be tinted with food coloring), 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil - mix everything, heat a little, and you get a soft lump. Make whatever you want! It’s good to explore new sounds and tastes in the kitchen; fortunately, there are always opportunities to knock, ring, smell, taste... You can watch and listen together to how water flows and drips from the tap, how a teaspoon rings in different ways. empty glass andcup of water, how peas and semolina are quietly poured into an empty glass glass. Ask the child to turn away and determine by ear what you are doing now. Let the baby turn away while you stir the glass with a spoon, cover the pan with a lid, etc. Invite your child to guess what objects can make such sounds. Listen with your child to the hum of the washing machine, the splash of water in the bathroom, the rustling of the shower, the slam of the front door, the cough of the father, the rustle of the newspaper, etc. Together with your child, try to prepare an unusual dinner: the name of the dishes should have the sound “s”. What can you cook? (salad, cheesecakes, fruit drink, soup, mousse, etc.) come up with a menu with the names of dishes where other sounds are found. Invite your child to put away or wash dishes that have the sound “ch” in their name (cup, teapot), sound “l” (spoon, fork, salad bowl, plate, dish), etc. Show your child the products you want to cook with lunch or dinner. Let him list those of them whose names contain the sound “r”. If he finds it difficult to do this, help him with leading questions: “Car-r-r-r-toffees or cabbage? Ar-r-buz or melon? Per-r-siki or bananas? Onions or cucumbers? Tomatoes or eggplants?” Replace the first sound in my words with the sound “sch” and name the new resulting word. There was a whale, but it became...a shield; there was a cloud, it turned out to be a pike; river... cheek; wreath...puppy; stranded... gap. Let's look for words in the kitchen. And here is the basket (box, bag, etc.) in which we will put them. What words can be taken out of borscht? Vinaigrette? Kitchen cabinet? Plates? Let's treat each other with “delicious” words. The child names a “delicious” word and puts it on your palm, and then you put it on his palm, and so on until you “eat” everything. You can play with “sour”, “salty”, “bitter” words. How can you call a device that brews coffee in one word? (coffee maker). Cutting vegetables? (vegetable cutter). Grinding coffee? (coffee grinder). Squeezing juice? (juicer).What kind of juice is obtained from apples (apple), pears (pear), plums (plum), cherries (cherry), carrots (carrot), lemons, oranges, etc.? And vice versa - what does orange juice come from? From pasta of different shapes, sizes and colors, you can lay out fancy patterns on a table or a sheet of paper, simultaneously studying the shapes and colors. The joke “Close your eyes - open your mouth” is especially popular. Let the baby, with his eyes closed, taste what you offered him: a piece of apple, banana, cucumber, lemon and even garlic. You can switch roles, and if you make a mistake, your baby’s wild delight is guaranteed! Place a small saucer in front of your child in which peas, rice and buckwheat are mixed, and ask them to help you sort them out. Most mothers are now too busy to “start pies”, but many people readily use ready-made puff pastry. Don't spare a small piece of dough for your child. You can make figures from it, like from plasticine, and using ordinary sand molds, cut out something interesting from the rolled out dough, sprinkle with sugar and bake. Have you ever eaten a “real” truck, or a steam locomotive with a pipe and wheels, or an elephant? Thin pieces of bread, cheese, sausage - here is the long-awaited silence, and “skillful hands”, armed with the same small-sized molds, create extraordinary sandwiches. Kids' favorite item in the kitchen is a whisk. Fill a bowl with water, add some liquid soap and place it in the sink. Pull a chair to the sink, put an apron on your child, roll up his sleeves, and you will see with what delight he will whip up soap foam. Place several items in the kitchen (a cube, a battery, a coil, etc.). Give the child tongs and ask him to transfer all these items to an empty box. Make sure he doesn't drop anything. Your child can test his creativity on mashed potatoes or some kind of porridge using decorative details from tomatoes, herbs, carrots, cucumbers, peas, nuts, jam, preserves. Using fruits and vegetables, You can teach children to recognize and distinguish objects by taste. By placing four or five different products in.
