Developmental activities

Currently, there are many developing preparatory classes and courses. Each task is prepared individually, based on the abilities and skills of the preschooler. There are notes indicating how best to present the material to the child. The variety of methods includes tasks for both children who have not yet turned 4 years old, and for children over 6 years old. Classes allow the child to easily complete the first grade and successfully move to the 2nd. Preparatory courses include most of the school curriculum for first-graders.

The world

Classes develop sensory skills, introduce the baby to nature, and help explore the environment.

Attention exercises

The development of attention promotes quick reaction, concentration, perseverance, and switchability.

On thinking and memory.

Classes develop perseverance, attention in class, the ability to think logically, perceive and assimilate information.

For fine motor skills

The development of fine motor skills of a future first-grader is coordinated by the nervous, skeletal and muscular systems. As a result of classes, dexterity of movements and writing skills are acquired.

Graphic dictation - drawings by cells

An educational game that prepares a preschooler's hands for writing, develops spatial thinking, and teaches orientation according to the size of a sheet of paper. Often used on preparatory courses to primary school.

There is no need to scold the child if the drawing does not come out right away, calmly suggest and continue further.

It is important to ensure proper seating desk, sufficient lighting, positioning of the hand, as a baby holds a pen.

Having received the result, rejoice with your child for his hard work. Graphic dictations are accompanied by tongue twisters, riddles, and develop fine motor skills and thinking.

To perform a dictation, you need to have a squared notebook, a pencil and an eraser. The duration of classes for children under 5-6 years old should not be more than 15 minutes, from 7-8 years old up to 25 minutes. First, talk through the concepts of up/down, right/left with your child.

Graphic dictation is performed in one of the following ways:

The preschooler is asked to draw a geometric pattern in a checkered notebook.
The adult pronounces the sequence of actions, indicates the direction (2 cells to the left, 4 up, 1 to the right, 2 down, and so on). The child perceives information by ear and draws. At the end of the dictation, the image in the manual is compared with what the child got.

Through play, a child learns to perceive the world, develops thinking, logic, memory, attention, and strengthens the child’s psyche. It should be fun, relaxed, interesting. Currently, there are free educational online games that a child will play with interest.

At home, several options for learning by playing programs can help you master the basics:

"Magic wand". For example, a felt-tip pen is called a magic wand. By rubbing it on woolen fabric or hair, show how it works. static electricity(hold it to a candy wrapper, a piece of paper, or a stream of water). Let the child decide for himself what magic words must be said for the “trick” to work.
Cut out images of animals, stick them on a piece of paper and invite the child to draw what each of them eats. A hare is a carrot, a cow is hay and so on.
Talk to your child about who he sees while walking in the yard. Cut out familiar pictures from magazines of things that remind you of a walk (grandparents, swings, sandbox). Paste the illustrations onto a sheet of paper.
Make a toy forest with your baby. To do this, you need to stock up on twigs, leaves, sawdust and paint.
Teach polite words, greetings and farewells. Toys are suitable for this; let the child, playing with the character in a suitable situation, say “ Good morning», « Good night", "see you soon" and more.

Psychological preparation: tests

In order to determine the level of psychological preparation for school, it is enough to perform special tests.

Test 1

Ask the child to draw on a piece of paper the school where he will study, as he sees it. To complete the task you will need a sheet of paper and colored pencils. The drawing is evaluated according to color scheme, plot and lines, and points are given.

Results in points:

2 - warm season, the sun is shining, the school is located in the center of the sheet, around joyful people, beautiful flowers, trees;
0 - the school is located closer to the edge, people are sad, dark time days, cold season;
1 - the figure shows elements of both characteristics;
2 - straight lines without breaks;
0 - fuzzy, weak, double, with breaks;
1 - elements of both characteristics;
2 - bright, light colors;
0 - dark colors;
1 - dark and light colors.

By adding up the points, they check whether the child is ready for school:

0-1 - the child is not ready to study at school; there will be obstacles in communicating with teachers and peers.
2-4 - the child does not have a clear idea of what school is; fears may arise that will interfere with learning. Parents need to talk with the child, find out the reason for the fear and describe learning in a positive way.
5-6 - the child is completely ready for school, there is no need to worry about interaction with teachers and peers.

Test 2

The child is given 30 seconds to put dots in the circles: 1 dot - 1 point. The more dots, the higher the score (only those included in the circle are counted).

Result:

less than 11 - low result:
12-17 - development needs to be given more attention;
18-33 - average score;
34 and above - excellent development, excellent result.

Target: to develop the ability to understand quantitative relations between numbers within 10, write them using the equal and unequal signs.

Materials: a bowl with 5 apples and 5 carrots for each child (either wooden or cut out of cardboard), = and signs, 2 plates for each child. Bunny is a toy.

1. Harvest.

- Let's help the bunny harvest.
- Place 1 apple on one plate and 1 carrot on the other. How many apples? How many carrots? (One by one). This means there are equal numbers of apples and carrots.
- To show that the number of objects is the same, the “equal” sign is used.

The teacher shows a sign to the children.

Place this sign between the plates.

- It turned out one equals one.
- Place another apple on the plate next to the apple. Is it possible to leave the equal sign? (No)
- Why? (Two is not equal to one).
- Right. In order to show that the number of objects is not equal to each other, the “unequal” sign is used.

The teacher shows the appropriate sign.

- How do the signs “equal” and “unequal” differ from each other?
- Let's now put an inequality sign between the plates.
- It turned out that two is not equal to one.
- Place another carrot on the plate. What sign should I put up? (Equalities)

Children read the recording independently.

Invite brothers to listen. (Clap your hands to the rhythm of the poem)

One two three four five!

Development of thinking. Combinatorics. Bunny houses

Target: development of combinatorial thinking.

Material: worksheet, pencils.

- The bunny has two houses. Look how the bunny decided to paint the walls of the houses.
- Let's first look at a house with geometric shapes: a circle, a square and a triangle.
- We will help the bunny paint the walls of the house, and for this we need to complete the figures so that they do not repeat in the lines. (If children have no idea about the concept of “line,” then the teacher explains).

Games to get kids ready for school

Hello, dear readers! This article is dedicated to those whose baby will soon become a first-grader. Preparing for school and activities for preschoolers is one of the main topics for caring parents. In addition, they are worried about many issues. Will the child study well, will he go to school with pleasure, will he master a considerable amount of program material? True, some parents believe that preparing for school is unnecessary, “they will teach you everything there.” This is not true. An unprepared child will certainly encounter certain difficulties when learning. If you want to school program it was easier for your offspring, help him!

In this article I will describe the main parameters, using them you can determine for yourself whether your child is ready to take a step into school life. I advise you to take a sheet of paper with a pen and, as you read, make note of the points that you need to work on. I study with my son on a regular basis, describe our classes in detail, and share my experience with readers. Therefore, in the article you will see links to the classes I have already covered, and if you need to work on this point, do not be lazy to go and read separate article. So, let's begin!

What a child needs to know and be able to do

There is an opinion that a 6-7 year old child should have the following knowledge and skills:

Know your own last name, first name and patronymic. You also need to know the last names, first names and patronymics of your parents, their place of work, your address and telephone number;
know the name settlement, Where does he live, correct names other countries of the world;
know the names of animals, be able to distinguish wild animals from domestic ones, be able to divide them into categories (a sparrow is a bird, a shark is a fish, a bear is an animal). In addition, you need to know the names of the most common plants, vegetables, fruits and berries;
know the times of day, seasons, their sequence, as well as the number of months in a year, the number of days in a month and a week. In addition, the baby should know what the days of the week are called;
you need to have an idea of basic natural phenomena;
names of the most common colors;
know the names of several sports;
answer the names of the most common professions, be able to tell what people belonging to a particular profession do;
the baby needs to be able to talk about her favorite activities;
at 6-7 years of age, children need to know the rules of the road and the purpose of road signs;
basic knowledge is required for learning reading, writing and mathematics (the ability to highlight a certain letter in a word, write printed letters, count to 10 back and forth, solve easy examples within these numbers, even using visual objects).

A lot of? Yes, a lot! The task of parents is to help master this knowledge.

Where to start preparing children for school

Preparing children for school includes the most different tasks and exercises. Let's look at the main areas.

Development of cognitive, emotional and communication spheres

It is in preschool age that the foundations of communication in a team are formed. Be that as it may, a school is, first of all, a team. What do parents need to know?

Consider the child’s temperament, his habits and desires. Don't rush things. One child cannot do without friends, another has a great time in the company of his favorite toys. Allow your child to be himself.
Be an example, children, without realizing it, often copy the behavior of adults towards other people. Own example works better than any edification.
Listen carefully to your son or daughter, ask questions, show that the story is truly interesting.

Development of oral speech in a preschooler

Here are some tips for speech development.

I also advise you to listen to the opinion of a speech therapist:

Reading training

Contrary to many myths and speculations, no one will require the ability to read fluently from a first-grader. Another thing is that it is important for the child to remember the names of the letters and their corresponding sounds. There are many options for this split alphabet, cubes and puzzles with letters. There are also great amount computer educational games (I will recommend our favorite below), but you shouldn’t get too carried away with them.

Useful exercises when teaching a preschooler

These tasks for preparing for school will help with mastering writing and drawing skills, and develop the ability to think and make inferences.

Logic exercises

Quite serious requirements in the field of logic are imposed on preschoolers. For example, you need:

So that he can find the odd one among several objects;
make up a story based on the pictures provided;
combine several items common feature(this sign must be found independently);
continue the proposed story.

Logical exercises help a preschooler develop independent thinking, speech, and the ability to communicate with peers if several children are involved. Here's an example logic exercises for preschoolers from Mersibo company. After registering on their website, you can choose games for the right age and begin an exciting journey.

I assure you it's interesting! My son is delighted with the program, and I am delighted game form, in which they are sometimes presented complex tasks. Do not leave your child alone with tasks, if it is difficult for him, and there is no one nearby to help - interest will disappear and your time will be wasted.

Development of fine motor skills

Preparation for school and activities for preschoolers are unthinkable without the development of fine motor skills. The formation of fine finger motor skills is all the more important because by the age of 6-7 years the formation of the zones of the cerebral cortex, which are responsible for the development of small muscles of the hand, ends.

For the development of fine motor skills, drawing, making crafts from plasticine, clay, wax, assembling construction sets, applique from various materials(fabric, matches, colored paper). Let not everything work out and not always! It is important to support the child in his efforts, to tell him that everything will certainly work out. The baby becomes more confident and his self-esteem increases.

Closer to 6-7 years old, boys and girls can get involved in modeling according to the instructions. The result becomes important to children; they follow the rules with pleasure. Simple but very visual books by Vera Grof can help them with this.

Preparing the foundation for mathematical knowledge

Mathematics is one of the most difficult school subjects. As a rule, mathematics in preparation for school causes greatest number difficulties. I advise you to familiarize yourself with our experience in preparing a preschooler for first grade. Here are a few interesting articles, which will undoubtedly be useful.

Mathematics for preschoolers

Mathematics is not only necessary and difficult, but also very interesting science! In this article, I showed how to interest a child in a decision math assignments. It is much more interesting for my son to study by imagining that it is not mathematical examples for addition and subtraction, and delicious pancakes or a magic flower with petals with tasks and the answer in the center.

Five funny fingers

Take a piece of paper and a pencil. Ask your child to trace the fingers on his hand. Now a few tasks:

Count the fingers on your hand;
assign each a specific number.

Looking for quadrilaterals

Draw some geometric shapes and ask your child to find only quadrilaterals. Let the child count them and color them, say, green.

Remember the number

Prepare cards with writing different numbers. Take two cards and ask your child to remember their names. Then mix them with the rest of the numbers, ask you to choose exactly the ones you remember.

Make up the numbers

This game is for a child who knows well how to write this or that number. Prepare cards with numbers from 1 to 10. Cut the cards in half and ask the child to put the halves together to create images of numbers again.

Here's our video about “heart math” for Valentine's Day:

Possible difficulties and errors

Let's look at the most common mistakes parents make and find out how to avoid mistakes when preparing for school.

Complete inaction. As already mentioned, some parents mistakenly believe that the child will learn everything on his own, “there is no point in drying out his brains.” Of course, he will learn, but it will be much more difficult for him than for his trained peers. And the child’s self-esteem suffers.
An equally serious mistake is to shift all responsibility to a kindergarten or center child development. Nobody says that teaching a preschooler is a simple matter, but it is available to all parents who are interested in a good result.
"Better late than never". In this case the proverb does not work. Trying to make a genius out of a child a few months before the significant September 1st, feverishly completing various tasks is, to say the least, unreasonable. It is necessary that preparation for school and classes for preschoolers be regular and several years before the first school bell.
