Cards for teaching children. How to make baby cards more durable

1) Print the cards, stick them on thick cardboard (or laminated ceiling tiles).

2) Laminate them with tape on both sides (buy the widest tape).

3) Cut out each card (if glued to a ceiling tile, it is convenient to use a clerical knife and a ruler to cut it out).

What can you play with children's cards.

First you need to remember what is drawn on the cards.

Game 1.Who came to visit?
Take some animal cards. And say, “Look, this is a cat. The cat has come to visit you. Meow meow. Oh, who is this? Dog! I also came to visit you! The dog says wow wow. Show me where the cat is. And where is the dog? Be sure to praise your child.

Game 2.Cook.
You need a baby plate and your baby's favorite toy (doll or soft toy). Take pictures of vegetables and fruits. “Let's prepare a delicious salad for the doll, What should we put in it? Let's put a tomato, a cucumber, a carrot, etc.” By analogy, you can cook soup, compote, treats for guests, etc.

Game 3.Zoo.
Tell the baby that now you will go to the zoo with him to see the animals. Spread the cards around the room, and go from one to another, naming the animals. (Similarly, you can play "Farm", "Forest").

Educational games with children's cards.

1) Mix cards of 2 or more topics (depending on the age of the child) and ask them to put each topic separately.

2) Put the cards in a bag, take the cards out of it one by one and name what is drawn on them.

3) Arrange the cards face up. The presenter calls the pictures, and the children must find them at speed, who is faster.

4) Take 2 or more cards (depending on the age of the child). Show each picture and flip. Ask the child to show where the picture is.

5) Cards can be used as counting material (count flowers, mushrooms).

	Children's photo cards "Birds"(new) There are 22 cards in the set (It is convenient to combine classes with cards with viewing a presentation on the topic "")
	Children's cards "Numbers from 1 to 20" There are 20 cards in a set (Numbers from 1 to 20, with the corresponding number of dice)

Free download 16 educational cards on the topic "Toys". The first card games for kids. Memory card games.

Cards are designed for games with babies from 9 months. Start playing from the age you deem necessary, based on the developmental characteristics of your child. I will indicate in brackets the age at which Maxim and I started the games.

How to play

1. Compliance (from 9 months)
For the very first acquaintance with cards and the concept of the image of objects, real photographs of toys and interior items of your apartment are best suited. If this is not possible, we print cards.
We get acquainted with the cards and show the baby first a real toy, then shown in the picture.

2. Find a picture (from 1 year old)

We call the toy, for example, "Ball" and ask the child to indicate the correct one from the four cards laid out.

3. Children's lotto (from 1 year old)

We print cards in two copies. One is cut, the other is not. We give the child a card with 4 images, take out the cut ones one at a time, tell and show how these cards relate. For the first lesson, 4 will be enough, then we complicate.

4. Remember where (from 1 year old)

We lay out several cards in front of the child (depending on complexity) and ask them to remember for 5 seconds, then turn them over with a shirt and ask in turn where which toy hid.

The application contains more than 1500 professionally voiced Doman cards. There is the ABC, educational games "Find the Picture" and "Coloring". As well as video cards, animal sounds and much more.

Flashcards are an easy and fun way to learn to speak and then read. Endorsed by child psychologists, teachers and parents worldwide, it's perfect for toddlers from birth to 4 years old!

The built-in educational game "Find the Picture" is specially designed for children from 0 years old. Thanks to a special interface, your kid will easily figure out the game, just by watching what is happening on the screen. One or more themes can be selected for the game, thus simplifying or complicating it.

If a child grows in a family, then developing cards are more of a necessity than just entertainment. It has long been known that the key to the development of a baby's mental abilities is his personal experience of learning in the first three years of life, when the brain cells are most actively developing. By showing the cards, you stimulate the brain, develop the child's logical thinking, his memory and attention. Thanks to the word memorization mechanism, your baby will also learn to read faster than his peers.

Using the Glenn Doman early development method, teaching a child using cards is very easy, the main thing is regular classes. Just start playing with him, showing one or two sets of cards three times a day, giving each card no more than 2-3 seconds. After a few days, introduce new sets and slightly increase the time of classes. The desire of the child himself is very important - stop the game as soon as the baby loses interest in it.

Also, the cards can be used for teaching according to the method of Makoto Shichida and Montessori, for this it is possible to disable the captions for the cards in the application settings.

The benefits of cards are as follows:

√ Stimulation of brain development
√ Memory development
√ Development of logical thinking
√ Fast learning to read
√ Development of attention
√ General early child development

The modern world dictates its own rules of life. And today's children do not have books in their hands, but tablets and laptops. Therefore, various methods of early development of children are so popular.

The brain of a child is a blank slate. Everything that we have time to write down on this sheet will become the foundation for the further development of a successful personality. The easiest and most feasible method of learning at home is educational cards for children. Despite the civilizational breakthrough, humanity cannot do without elementary teaching methods. A small person needs to know the world around him, but at the same time be safe.

Educational flashcards are a safe and convenient way to get to know the world early

There are various options for the development of the child with the help of pictures and cards. But perhaps the most popular is Doman's training cards. Glenn Doman's technique arose on the basis of methods for treating and teaching children with severe brain injuries. As a result, children with a clear developmental delay began to outperform their peers both in physical and mental indicators. As a result, Doman created a simple and easy-to-use training program for healthy babies. Educational cards with a bright picture and a word make it possible for a mother at home to make her child, if not a genius, then a diversified personality.

Glen Doman cards are themed pictures with a caption. In the picture, a bright object-animal-plant, and so on. The signature under the object is clear, large and bright red.

• Things in the house.
• Clothing.
• Toys.
• Pets.
• Wild animals.
• Sea creatures.
• Birds.
• Insects.
• Vegetables.
• Fruit.
• Flowers.
• Berries.
• On the street.

Using cards, you can develop the horizons of the baby and show the crumbs how rich in colors the world around him is.

How to use the cards

Pictures should be shown when the child is healthy, full and in a good mood. Do not insist if there is no interest in classes. In babies from birth to three years old, the peculiarity of the brain is such that the nerve centers responsible for various functions of the body cannot develop simultaneously and at the same speed. Therefore, if the child is physically active, there will be some delay in mastering speech. But don't let that scare you. The Doman method takes into account just this feature of the development of the child's brain. Education develops photographic memory, which further facilitates learning to read and count. Even before a year, not being able to speak, the little one will master a lot of names of objects and phenomena, which will serve the further correct development of speech and horizons.

It is enough to show the baby educational cards 1-2 times a day. Show quickly, 1 second per picture, pronounce the word clearly and cheerfully. If the baby shows interest in such a game, increase the number of card displays per day. But do not overdo it: learning games should be fun for both you and your baby. Gradually remove the studied material from the thematic set by adding fresh pictures.

According to the Doman method, the child sees the object, hears its name, remembers the spelling. That is, he learns to read, but not by syllables, but by the whole word. To teach counting, Doman suggests showing the baby cards with red dots. This is how the skill of counting in the mind is formed.

Doman or Montessori

Educational pictures, as one of the ways of understanding the world, also includes the method of Maria Montessori. But Montessori cards, firstly, are not the main learning opportunity, secondly, they are designed differently in order to highlight the object and control errors, and thirdly, there is a limit on the number of cards in favor of studying a specially created and natural learning environment. That is, instead of a picture with a flower, it is preferable to water a flower that actually exists in a flower bed. The cards themselves are designed in such a way that the child develops logic and correctly classifies objects by subject and category. On a white background, an object or animal isolated from the environment.

The cards are all the same size. The color of the frame in the picture determines the thematic group. For example, green frame - plants, red - animals, yellow - objects of the world of people. Since educational pictures are always located in a conspicuous place and by subject, the child has the opportunity to independently choose and study them. The teacher does not impose anything, but only presents and answers the student's questions. In this difference from the Doman training cards that are offered for study, their number and subject are controlled.

When to Start Early Childhood Development

In this regard, the recommendations of Doman and Montessori differ. The Doman Method insists on learning from birth. And under all favorable conditions, it is possible that a baby up to three years old will learn to read and count. If you do not set yourself such a global goal, then in practice it is good to start using Doman's developing cards up to a year (10-11 months). And by the age of three, the child will have a sufficient vocabulary and conceptual apparatus.

According to Glenn Doman, the intensive growth of the child's brain from one to three years provides the greatest learning efficiency. And after the age of three, the development of brain centers slows down and the ability to assimilate new material also decreases. In the original Montessori teaching is designed for children from three years old. It is based on the freedom of choice of the child and the correct organization of the learning space. Therefore, the methods of Maria Montessori are popular in kindergartens for teaching children of primary preschool age. Already later followers of the Italian teacher extended the teaching to babies from the year of life.

At home, it is difficult to fully implement all the requirements of the Montessori method, especially in terms of organizing the learning space. But educational games and pictures are quite realistic to purchase and use at home.

For a better adaptation of a small person in the outside world, cards on everyday topics are very important. If you apply the method of early development with the help of pictures, then the child will be oriented in household items, clothes and shoes from the age of one. Know the purpose and use of household items, such as a telephone, key, lock, book, glasses, and so on. From three years old, the baby will be able to distinguish types of household appliances and determine which equipment poses a danger to his health and life (for example, a hot iron). Understand what clothes to wear and in what order. In what weather to use, for example, an umbrella or wear boots. Determine which dishes are eaten from and which foods are stored in.

Three years is the age at which socialization begins. The child goes into the world on his own, learns to make friends, communicate, express himself. He breaks away from his mother, goes to kindergarten. So, with the help of early development methods from one to three years, the child is being prepared for life in children's groups. Where you have to dress and put on your own shoes, to distinguish your clothes from someone else's, to serve yourself. Every baby is an individual and a person from birth. Therefore, our task is to prepare the child for independent life in modern conditions with the highest quality and variety, to acquaint him with the world of people, nature and objects.

Here you will find a description of several ways to get some cards for classes at home, as well as some technical tricks (or a minimum of knowledge) for working with special programs that will help you make cards yourself.

So, you have decided to study with your child “according to Doman”. Well, or just deal with cards, according to some own scheme and method. Where to get them?

Before every active mother, this question constantly pops up - where to get it - namely, the dilemma of buying or doing it yourself. I have already given general considerations about toys and educational aids in general here, along with my own chips for choosing one or another option. Now - actually about the cards, and as the name implies - about the home-made version.

Buy?

You can buy separate sets, I myself purchased several sets cards from the Mozaika-Sintez publishing house (series “Tell the children about…”), and this was done as part of bulk purchases, that is, at a fairly attractive price. Pay for 10-20 pictures 100 or more rubles, with the price of color printing in mini-printing houses from 15 rubles. for an A4 sheet (and if you stop at the “two per sheet” cards, the cost is reduced by 2 times) I am mentally not ready. Another minus purchased options - they usually bear little resemblance to classic Doman cards(an object on a white background with a caption), and some are also aesthetically dubious (in other words, they are not very well drawn or the photographs are of poor quality). Publishers that make “correct” cards most often offer them in A4 size, which is not very convenient, and the images on them are drawn, not photographic. I wanted to show the child real objects.

I posted a collection of cards for review (just to decide whether to buy) in our Vkontakte group, You can check it out and even download it.

Do!

Here are a few ways to get hold of non-printing cards, that is, own or partially own production.

1. Download the electronic version and print.

The simplest technical option, which, however, requires time to search. Few people share really good cards in the public domain., 1-2 options for hand-drawn images are usually walking around the Internet, which do not cover all topics. For lack of a better way, you can start with them - what if they don’t captivate your child at all? The scans of didactic aids obtained in different ways, offered by different publishers, most often have unsatisfactory scanning quality: the sheets are gray (this will affect the print), the pictures are cloudy and pale. In my collection, most of the cards are just scans, I corrected them somewhat in graphic programs, but I can’t vouch for the print quality, because. I myself use them mainly for demonstration from the screen(tablet or laptop), and also take the text from there (it is already adapted for children, no need to invent anything).

2. Prepare the cards yourself and print them out.

The only downside is time., some technical skills are also required, but otherwise - solid pluses:

• You choose the format yourself - a card in full sheet, in half (A5) or in a quarter (A6, the size of a standard photo).
• You select a picture that suits you in terms of quality and appearance. If you like drawings - make drawings, like photos - select photos: if you want - with a background, if you want - “cut out”.

Read below about the technical aspects of creating pictures on your computer, but for now, a few other comments and methods.

How and where to print?

If a you have a color printer at home - no questions, this is the cheapest option. If there is no printer, you can search with friends, with your husband at work, or go to a mini-printing house. In our city, printing a sheet in color costs from 15 rubles. (plus paper if you need cards on thick cardboard), so you should consider whether this is profitable.

For owners of black and white printers, there is an option print coloring pages and quickly bring them to life with pencils. Yes, it also takes time, but it is budget-friendly. You can color together with your child or ask an older one.

Don't Forget the Option screen demonstrations. With the spread of tablets, this has become very easy. The effect is essentially the same, but there are no costs. I started showing my daughter electronic presentations quite early, and we started looking at the cards when our printer was covered. We also sometimes look at task books from the screen, without printing, she shows with her fingers what to connect with what and what goes with what. It also saves space in the house, because. Printouts need to be stored somewhere. However, not everyone considers it acceptable to plant a child on any screen.

So another option is

make scrapbook cards.

"Raw materials" can be newspapers, magazines, advertising booklets, catalogs, outdated or torn children's books, used workbooks and albums for creativity (for example, the well-known brochures "School of the Seven Dwarfs"). The minus of clippings is the lack of consistency. That is, it is rather difficult to make a selection of exactly vegetables, because it is still unknown what pictures you will find in your old magazines. Yes, everyone will be different in size. From my own experience, I was convinced that with clippings, quantity quickly turns into quality. If you collect pictures with enviable constancy, after some time any objects and any animals will be found there. They can be glued to paper or cardboard, and signed by hand. Great cards!

The last option - as they say, with your own hands from and to - is

draw your own cards

pencils, paints, in any other available techniques. The process is laborious, it takes time and some talent on the part of the mother. I have seen similar examples on "mamosites" and sincerely admire such craftsmen. Such cards can then be saved for the next generation of children; there will be a unique family, if not a relic, then a very valuable thing.

Technical minimum!

Now some technical information for those who prefer to follow a relatively simple and affordable way in modern realities - to make up cards on their own for their subsequent printing.

Programs to help you:

— Adobe Photoshop. If you have it, you probably know how to perform a couple of actions in it, namely, you will need to “set image size”, “insert” (picture) and “text”, and scale both. Video tutorials are enough, they are easily accessible. The most difficult thing, in my opinion, is the installation of the program. There is also an online version of a program similar to Photoshop - Photo editor online. You can work directly on the network, you don’t even need to download anything. There are fewer functions than in the usual one, but to create cards, you need the most elementary ones. By the way, if you are going to master the program and will look for distributions, do not chase the new version. Even the oldest one, from the 90s or early 2000s, has all the buttons you need.

- Corel Draw and other vector graphics editors. I do it in Korel, this program is dear to me. There you need to learn all the same elementary actions - select the sheet format, insert a pre-prepared picture, insert a signature. The advantage is that you can create multi-page documents in this program (In Photoshop - only the current picture), that is, prepare a whole set or several at once, as well as easily clone pages, place several cards on a sheet, etc.

— Banal MS Word. If there is no way to work with graphic programs, then you can do it there. It is very easy to make an A4 format picture - “Insert” (picture), move the cursor down the sheet and make a signature - large, bright (Doman recommends red signatures). If you make 2 cards on a sheet, you can create a table in 2 columns to repeat the steps. Or split the page into 2 columns. Otherwise, placing 2 pictures one next to the other will be problematic. Well, it will seem more convenient for someone to make signatures using the Signature tool.

Image viewers. Among them there are programs that have fairly wide possibilities for editing images. By changing the brightness and contrast, moving the color sliders in different directions, cropping the edges and rotating the images, you can significantly improve the appearance of the pictures that you come across on the Internet. For example, a jaguar / elephant / watermelon is good for everyone in the photo, then it is dark / cloudy / with an ugly edge. A couple of mouse movements, and you no longer need to look for a new picture. I have previously used ACDsee now in love with FastStone Image Viewer, and one of the most valuable features for the lover of homemade printed games - batch image conversion. In particular, I did not post my collection of cards for a long time precisely because editing each image to make it at least pleasant to look at is quite a chore. And when you can correct the color and brightness, and at the same time rename 20-30 at once ... beauty!

Where to get pictures, how to find them.

A simple and obvious resource - Yandex.Pictures and picture servers of other popular search engines. I prefer the Yandex service, and here's why. There you can set additional search parameters:

"The size". For printing, a small one will not work at all, at least a medium one will do, but it’s better to take large ones, “wallpaper” rarely has the white background we need (both “according to Doman” and saving paint when printing at home).

"Type of". Enter a query (for example, "giraffe", "pear"), click "clipart" and rejoice! For those who have had little to do with images, clipart is just pictures (and more often collections of pictures) without a background that designers use.

"Color": if you choose white as the dominant color, we get a similar effect, namely, pictures on a white background.

"File" (meaning the format). The PNG format is especially interesting - pictures have not just a white, but a transparent background, that is, a png image can be placed on a different colored background and you don’t even have to cut or crop anything in graphic programs.

There are many separate sites with collections of clipart. Allday.ru, for example. One can “luckily stumble upon” a good collection once and be provided with good pictures for the entire childhood of a child. True, it is rarely possible to download pictures from them directly, more often through file hosting, captchas and other complicating life.

On sites representing wallpaper collections- screensavers on your computer desktop, you can also find a lot of good photos. It is convenient when they are grouped by topic: Animals, Mountains, Sea, etc.

Presentations for children is another source of images for cards. This refers to ppt and pps files. How can I get pictures from there?

Ppt is a format that implies editing a presentation, its working mode. The picture can be obtained from the slide in view mode. To do this, select it and right-click to call the context menu, in which select "Save as picture", then select the location on the disk where to save.

It is more convenient for me to save the entire presentation at once as a series of pictures from slides. It's faster, and you can always cut out an image without captions from a slide picture. To do this, select File / Save as / Other formats, then in the drop-down list at the bottom, select "Picture in JPEG format". By default, in the same folder where the presentation was located, a series of images will appear, one per slide. If the presentation is of high quality, you will immediately get a series of cards for printing.

Many presentations are presented in pps format, that is, in view mode. They start right away, you can’t affect the speed of switching slides in any way and you won’t be able to make any edits at all, except to pause in the context menu until ... resave to ppt format. I know this way: in the Total Commander file manager, hover over a presentation in pps format and press F3 (or View) - the presentation will open in the working window, and from here you can already change animation settings (for example, change slides on click, not on time ), format, and save it as images. Another way - from the file manager or regular Explorer - select "Create" in the context menu, the result is the same.

Women's forums, sections of mothers-designers. Some mothers who have begun to master design and Photoshop on maternity leave are fond of creating their own clipart and kindly post it for public use. Previously, there were many such collections on the Motherhood forum. Although such archives of designer moms can probably be found on any popular women's forum in the “hobbies” section.

In general, I will not hide, the process of creating cards with your own hands, like any needlework and “hand-making” is not always fast, sometimes painstaking, requiring personal time and attitude, as well as minimal technical skills, but at the same time addictive and creative process. Try it!
