Didactic games on the theme “Autumn” in the preparatory group
In the preparatory group, preschoolers prepare to enter school, receive basic philological, mathematical and natural history knowledge, learn to analyze and construct sentences correctly.

Didactic games “Autumn” in the younger group
We offer simple educational games that will help younger preschoolers get acquainted with autumn.
Apples and leaves
For the game, prepare a table with 2 cells: label the first “apples”, the second – “leaves”. Also cut out images of apples and autumn leaves in different shapes, colors and sizes. Ask the student to correctly distribute the objects into cells.
Arrange the leaves by size
To play, cut out images of autumn leaves in 3 sizes: large, medium and small. Make a table with 3 matching cells. Ask your child to sort the images into cells.
Autumn
This is a finger game. Here is the accompanying text for it:
A cold breeze blew, the children blew air through their mouths;
He instantly blew the leaves off the branches. – move their fingers in different directions, blow on them;
The leaves are falling, spinning,
They lie down quietly on the grass. – smoothly swing their arms;
The rain has wet the leaves, - with the fingers of the left hand they tap on the palm of the right, then vice versa;
The hail has punched holes in them; the fingers of one hand, clenched into a pinch, are knocking on the palm of the other;
And the frost grabbed them - they knock with the fist of one hand on the palm of the other;
And the snow fell. – slowly and smoothly move the brushes up and down.
Didactic games “Autumn” in the senior group
In the older group, games are needed to improve oral speech and the ability to define concepts, expand thematic knowledge, develop observation, perseverance, and the ability to perform collective and individual work. We must not forget about the physical development of preschoolers.
Make a proposal
The player receives a series of nouns, based on which he mentally composes and pronounces a thematic phrase. For example: umbrella, protection, rain - an umbrella protects from rain. Or: galoshes, rubber, shoes - galoshes are rubber shoes.
Take the golden leaf
This is an active game, the purpose of which is to teach the alternation of movements of different speeds and intensity. The game improves listening comprehension, develops the ability to work in a team, and improves the overall physical development of the preschooler.
The game is played on a warm autumn day in the courtyard of the kindergarten, when leaves of different colors are actively falling from the trees. The leader gives the command to move, to make any movements: run, walk, jump, wave your arms, dance. As soon as the presenter says “One, two, three! Take the golden leaf!”, the children stop, look at their feet, and pick up the leaf, painted exactly yellow. You cannot pick leaves from trees; you need to take only those that are on the ground. The first one to find a yellow piece of paper under his feet wins.
At the next stages of the game, the task can be changed, for example, “take a red leaf,” “take a maple leaf,” “take two leaves.”
Finish the sentence
Say the beginning of the topic sentence, and the children must complete it:
- in the fall I wear it outside - what? – coat, jacket, boots, shoes, hat, scarf;
- the foliage on the trees has become - what? – yellow, golden, red, sluggish;
- farmers harvest from fields and orchards - what? – harvest, fruits, vegetables;
- mushroom pickers collecting in the forest - what? – mushrooms, boletus, honey mushrooms, chanterelles, saffron milk caps, russula;
- I'll make a feeder for - who? – birds, tits, sparrows, squirrels;
- flying south - who? - birds, cranes, storks, swans, starlings, rooks, larks.
Didactic games “Autumn” in the middle group
In the middle group, games should expand thematic vocabulary, consolidate ideas about autumn processes and phenomena, develop concentration and thinking abilities.
The animals are stocking up
The game introduces them to the world around them; preschoolers develop an idea of what animals eat in the wild. For the game, prepare images of forest animals, as well as their food: plants, nuts, mushrooms.
Pair or individual game. Children take turns taking a picture of food and saying that they see in the picture which animal eats it. Then they put the image on the picture of a suitable animal.
Autumn
The purpose of the didactic game “Autumn” is to form and consolidate an idea of what natural phenomena are considered autumn, and to expand the thematic vocabulary.
For the game, prepare pictures that depict scenes that take place in different seasons of the year: falling snow, rain and puddles, yellow trees, bright sun, snowmen, blooming flowers, children on skis, starlings in birdhouses, etc. Lay out the images in front of the student and ask them to choose pictures in which actions can only take place in the fall.
Which tree is the leaf from?
The game broadens your horizons and teaches you to recognize different types of trees by their leaves. Preschoolers learn to form adjectives, they develop speech skills, memory and concentration. To play, cut out realistic images of autumn leaves from thick paper. If there are many different types of trees in the kindergarten yard, you can collect real leaves.
Place the collected leaves in a box. Children take turns taking a leaf out of it, looking at it, trying to find out what tree it comes from. First they name the tree, then form the corresponding adjective. For example: “This is an aspen leaf. This is an aspen leaf."
