Games and competitions for preschoolers

Once a year the gardens bloom

All preschool children know the seasons and the flowers that bloom in a certain season. For this competition you need to prepare cards or simple drawings of flowers (snowdrops, scillas, tulips, lilies of the valley, peonies, gladioli, daisies, cornflowers, chrysanthemums, asters, dahlias). All these flowers need to be arranged according to the seasons. To make it easier for the children to cope, children are divided into several teams, because working in a team is always more interesting and easier. Whose team is the fastest to correctly distribute the flowers according to the appropriate seasons is the winner.

Explanatory note

It's no secret that a person becomes a person as a result of communicating with other people. Everyone has a certain level of communication abilities, that is, individual personality characteristics. Preschool age is an important period in the development of a child’s personality, including his communicative development. During this period, when children especially need to receive information, a special organization of communication is needed that will help the child acquire communicative competence that helps to communicate effectively. Communicative competence is manifested in the child’s free expression of his desires and intentions using verbal and non-verbal means. Communicative competence is determined by whether a child knows how to make contact with a stranger, understand his personal qualities and intentions, anticipate the results of his behavior and build his behavior in accordance with this. Children aged five to six years, provided a favorable social environment is created, can freely communicate with others, observing the norms and rules accepted in society. However, currently there are serious difficulties for children in communicating, especially with peers. This is expressed in direct aggression (pugnacity), reluctance to communicate, conflict, whims, touchiness, shyness, which leads to difficulties in establishing friendly relationships and the ability to communicate constructively. All these problems are due to the fact that serious changes have occurred in the life of society, and most importantly, in the family. The number of children who are without close contact with their parents is constantly growing, as family traditions are disappearing, parents either simply do not have enough time, and most often, the desire to communicate with their children. All this creates serious difficulties for the development of communication abilities and the development of the child as a whole. Thus, teachers are faced with the task of creating conditions conducive to organizing an emotionally favorable atmosphere in the group and developing in children a sense of self-confidence. The most effective way to develop communicative qualities, a positive attitude towards other people, constructive interaction and cooperation with peers and adults is play. Thanks to the play method, children have the opportunity to express their experiences and show their creativity. Also, the gaming technique allows preschool children to easily and quickly switch from one type of activity to another. By creating a favorable psychological atmosphere in the group, the teacher will never have problems with the discipline of his students. When creating this program, we wanted to pay special attention to games to develop cooperation in children of senior preschool age, as one of the most important communicative qualities that a child needs to master by senior preschool age.
