The baby's skills must develop from birth. Nowadays it is no secret to anyone that the cognitive activity of the child begins with a game. The role of the game in the educational process is invaluable.
Role-playing games not only develop many useful skills: refine speech during play, mold the character of the child, stimulate thinking, but also develop communication skills, which means cooperating.
Modern parents strive to make their child develop quickly. And to help them in this matter can properly organize the game, which will be discussed in this post. Today, the store shelves are filled with a lot of games made with the latest technology.
A vivid example are computer games designed to develop fine motor skills and analytical thinking.
In any good kindergarten, the training of babies is done precisely at the base of the game, and what is very important: every child in those institutions is given sufficient attention.
But, unfortunately, there are also cases in which, for whatever reason, the baby can not attend preschool, so parents have a difficult task: preparing the baby for school on their own.
Play with your child, have a lot of fun playing together. You will feel the excitement and competition in a children's table game with cubes and chips on a painted board.
Games: skills develop patience in a child (the ability to wait their turn, follow the rules of the game), as well as concentrate on the game; In addition, they improve concentration and stimulate cognitive development.
Organize a domestic orchestra, use all the musical instruments available in the home or even make an incursion into the kitchen cupboard: pots, lids, jars with all kinds of cereals will fit perfectly as instruments.
Inculcate the love of music using special programs and techniques, some of which are covered in the article on the musical development of preschool children.
Organize the shadow theater (slide the curtains, light the wall with a lamp) and create, create, create with the help of bunnies, pigeons, roosters, everything that the atmosphere inspires you to create a fairy tale with the child. And our acting skills in the rubric will definitely help you with this.
Your child with great pleasure will play simple puzzles (children's dominoes, lotteries, mosaics, pyramids, constructors, puzzles), as long as the mother is always present and definitely helps her.
And math lessons for children will be developed in a game of skills such as the ability to distinguish objects by shape, color, and quantity.
Give the child the opportunity to reveal it completely, and even if at the beginning, his drawings, only stained paint or strokes, be sure to admire his work. Try it, create, create!
Sculpture lessons (for example, salt dough)
Prepare a workplace (cover the kitchen table with a newspaper, paper or rubber) and verify that all necessary components are available (flour, salt, water, vegetable oil). Mix the flour and fine salt in equal parts, then add water and a little vegetable oil.
Prepare with your child in the form of a game. Wrap the finished dough with aluminum foil and let it rest in the refrigerator for a couple of hours so that the material is elastic. Sculpt everything your heart desires: houses, sun, mom, dad, neighbor's cat. Using watercolor, paint the figures made.
You can also use plasticine or special masses to model, the principle of the game is the same. Roni Oren is the author of the wonderful book "The Secrets of Plasticine", which teaches without difficulty and effortlessly the art of modeling.
Games of this kind perfectly develop the small hands and imagination of a child. And if you also offer several kitchen utensils, the child will simply be delighted with what is happening, because children love to copy adults. Most importantly, do not forget about safety, do not leave the child unattended.
Any ball game, for example: "hot potato", or soccer at home perfectly develops the eye and coordination of movement. No wonder, in many sports is the ball that is used.
Who knows, maybe your baby shows great interest and good skills that lead him to the "great sport".
Computer development games have a double influence on the child: on the one hand, they develop logic and thinking, and on the other, they affect the nervous system and the psyche of the preschooler.
For such a controversial case, we even derive a simple formula for the permissible pastime on the screen: the child's age multiplied by 1.5. Therefore, for a child of three years, classes should not last more than 4.5 minutes.
Ways to help learn a new game.
What would not be a game or a toy, the child should be able to present it to try to realize the value of this game. Therefore, it is important to correctly implement the game in the education and training process. Next, we have prepared a series of tips on the implementation of the educational process of the game.
The game must match the child's age and the degree of its development.
Organize joint games (with someone of an adult or the same age as a child)
Show a genuine interest in the child's occupation, even if he builds a common turret and breaks it: the game allows us to understand the connection between the cause and the effect of the child's behavior.
Discuss the new games with the child, explain their purpose to make sure that the child does not repeat their actions in an ordinary way, that is, to understand the essence of what started.
Buy games where creativity is required (an excellent option is clay, applications)
Answer all the "why" of the baby, so that the baby constantly develops the thought process. Having received the answer, the child is immersed in the search for new questions.
Do not do anything against the will of the child (especially when you are tired, hungry or sick)
Praise your baby when he does something. With this action, you awaken in your child the desire to learn more and more new things: the desire for knowledge and also strengthens the sense of self-confidence.
When playing with a child, do not get distracted by other problems. The child should feel support during the game and the constant interest of each participant. Only in this case will you get the maximum benefit from the lessons.
Organize the game so that the child has every chance of winning. Leaders in adult life are often winners since childhood.
Always be close, approve and encourage the child, let the child try to do everything by himself, and then, definitely, gain self-confidence and only be satisfied. Appreciate the efforts of your children, and they will respond the same.
