At the same time, teaching and developing the meaning of the game is preserved. This makes it possible to warn the child against fear of difficulties, to teach him to create and create without fear.

Principles underlying programs:

1. Principle developmental learning.

This program is implemented on the basis of the provision on the leading role of education in child development, considering "the zone of his nearest development» . It is aimed at teaching preschoolers to perform basic operations with concepts: analysis, comparison and association on similar grounds, generalization and establishment different types logical connections. The listed operations, being ways of performing mental activity, form the basis for reasoning and inference, which are complex purposeful acts of thinking.

2. The principle of gradualness.

Smooth transition from simple knowledge, operations, skills to more complex ones (according to the principle "spirals"). Each type of task and exercise serves as a preparation for the next, more difficult task.

3. The principle of taking into account the age and individual characteristics of the child.

3. The principle of accessibility.

Classes for children for 4 years should be developing and prepare the child for entering school, teach the child to read and write, develop his abilities and knowledge of the world around him. Experts say that at 4 years old it is already possible to seat the child at the table and work on benefits for preschoolers. But in practice, the child will not sit for more than 15–20 minutes with a developing notebook or book - it is for this time that each task from such manuals is calculated. There are, of course, children who can sit behind developing notebooks and study enthusiastically for 30 minutes. But when a child does not want to, you do not need to force him.

Classes for children for 4 years on benefits

It is better to buy all manuals, books and notebooks in bookstores, and not download from the Internet, printing on a home printer. On the Internet, you will not find material of decent quality, and when printed on a home printer, it will deteriorate even more - you can’t offer this to children, you risk ruining all the fun of classes. But even in a bookstore, you need to choose with great care so that the book is compiled by progressive specialists, the tasks are understandable and interesting to the child, and the pictures arouse additional interest in classes.

What to look for when choosing educational aids, books, notebooks with tasks for children 4 years old:

• Almost all manuals with tasks are designed for a certain age and it is indicated on the cover - select by age.
• Classes for children for 4 years old should correspond not only to age, but also to his abilities - the child must solve all the tasks assigned to him without exerting extra effort, otherwise you will need to move on to easier tasks, and there is nothing to worry about. So you will support the child's interest in classes, without repelling the desire to learn.
• Choose professional authors of manuals compilers, usually their experience and qualifications are described in the manual itself - the author must have a specialty and not a little experience in teaching preschoolers.
• Select manuals with high-quality illustrations - this is very important for children. Illustrations should be: colored in soothing colors, match the original objects, without excessive brightness; aesthetic, kind and sweet; understandable for a child of 4 years old, with the main features of object identification (a hare should look like a hare); depict adequate emotions, gestures and movements; images must match the text and be consistent; there should be air around the images (white background) for better perception.

How to work on benefits

benefit classes, initial stage should take 15-20 minutes. A four-year-old child is not able to sit for more than this time, and you should not force him. Choose those tasks from the manual that the child is more willing to be interested in, if a clear sequence of tasks is not recommended. Do not forget that it is important to do everything with pleasure, to praise the child for a correctly completed task, not to scold if something does not work out for him.

Educational activities for children for 4 years in a playful way

The child is in the game all the time, parents only need to include the learning aspect in the game. Almost all games can be turned into educational activities for children 4 years and older. And almost all toys can become educational material.

Constructors

In the first place among educational toys are constructors. The constructor is a toy without gender separation, as it was previously thought, it will be equally interesting for both boys and girls. It is advisable to choose sets not only with different blocks, but also with characters, auxiliary items and objects. There are designers with a printed alphabet for learning letters; there are numbers and signs of addition, subtraction; also designers acquainting children with the outside world, animals different countries and continents, seasons, professions. For example, "Lego Duplo" - in this series the parts are quite large, there are sets for the smallest from 1 year old, and there are from 2-5 years old. The next series of the designer come from 3 years old Lego Classic - it contains smaller parts and there are more of them in sets. You can choose separate series for boys and girls.

Games with the designer, we develop:

Fantasy and language skills

Ask your child questions during the game, let him fantasize what will happen next. Let's give the task to come up with a new figure from the constructor, it is not necessary to assemble it only according to the schemes. Play scenes with the constructor's characters, come up with names for them, activities, where they will live, with whom to be friends.

Logic

Just build from blocks, according to schemes and without, create your own schemes. Draw a figure, the boundaries of an object or a letter on a piece of paper with a marker, let the child put it together from blocks. Set frames, colors, shapes. Cubes can be used different ways, even laying out patterns on the floor. You can write numbers and letters on the cubes, stick small stickers; then give tasks to the child: put together such cubes with images according to some signs or meaning. Build a maze out of blocks, ask the child to go through it on their own, ask them to build a maze for you.

fine motor skills

The smaller the details, the more quickly the child learns to handle them, developing his fine motor skills.

Attention and memory

Assembling the constructor according to the scheme attached to it, the child learns to follow it carefully. There are a lot of separate books with new schemes for the Lego constructor, they can be purchased additionally in bookstores. You can make your own schemes, draw them, make your own catalog - is it really an interesting project? You can also use these skills during the game itself, for example, by giving the task to collect from memory, as it was before, all the trailers of a colliding and crumbling train, etc.

Grammar

With a marker, you can write the letters of the Russian alphabet on the cubes, or stick stickers with letters and other images on the cubes, which you can also do with your child. These little stickers are sold in bookstores for diaries. With the help of such prepared blocks, you can teach a child: offering to match the letter to the desired image, putting the letters into syllables by connecting the blocks. You can add from the blocks themselves printed letters, having previously drawn a diagram on a piece of paper. You can use blocks with letters and other images, along with study notebooks and books, to make your learning more interactive and interesting.

Counting, addition and subtraction

Use blocks with numbers and signs of addition and subtraction, which you can prepare with the children, as described above. Or, for example, play a construction game: ask for a certain number of blocks of a certain color to be delivered to you, then add a few more of a different color, and so on. The child perfectly perfects the account in such interesting games.

Speech development

Use blocks with stickers depicting various objects - this is how you can play a store with characters, asking the child, in the role of a consultant, what he will advise and why. Help him by introducing new words, let him use them in his explanations. Provoke the child to comment on the actions in the game - ask guiding questions. Learn to build sentences correctly: playing, for example, a tourist excursion or a railway station, announcing the necessary announcements for train passengers.

Pros and cons of the designer

Constructor advantages: If you connect your imagination, the designer is a very multifunctional toy, with it you can come up with a lot of educational activities for children for 4 years and almost any preschool age, besides, it is so interesting.

Constructor cons: Many parents complain about scattered throughout the house small parts. However, this can be dealt with: build a special rug for games under the designer; which is pulled into a bag, collecting all the details, at the end of the game.

Parents also note that their child assembles the constructor only according to the schemes without showing imagination. There is a way out here - buy classic Lego Classic blocks, they are designed for the child to invent figures and games on their own.

Board games are very popular today. This is not only educational activities for children for 4 years old, but also a fun time with parents and friends, the joy of winning, and training an adequate attitude in case of a loss. Board games are designed for different ages of the child, for preschoolers it can be: puzzles for learning the alphabet; dominoes with images, numbers and letters; different walkers with simple rules; or card games with beautiful illustrations. All this can be found in toy stores.

1. Good educational games for preschoolers are published by the LISCIANI publishing house, you can choose individual games for the development of any skill or sets.
2. Another good producer educational games - Miniland. Games are designed for the development and education of preschool children.
3. And of course, the rather popular "Tenth Kingdom" produces a very large assortment of educational and educational games for children, with their favorite characters from cartoons, for children of different ages.
4. When looking for a game to develop a particular skill (learning letters, writing, reading, counting) consider all publishers of educational games for children. The choice is large, but you can find almost everything you need for developing activities with children.

Pros of children's board games: Such games are built according to a ready-made plot (rules invented by developers), tasks do not need to be invented by yourself, as with a designer.

Cons of board games: They have limited functionality, almost always limited to instructions.

Favorite toys

Any children's toys can become educational activities for children for 4 years, here it is the same as with the designer - the main thing is to show imagination.

A few ideas for activities in a playful way for boys

If a child loves cars, you can stick letters or numbers on them, make parking for them. For each place in the parking lot, stick or draw an image, the name of which begins with the letter pasted on the typewriter. Or stick the number of images that is written on a typewriter with a number. Stick the signs of addition, subtraction, evenly on the cars - and you can solve the examples while driving around the playing field (track).

On whatman paper, you can draw a route with cities, forests, natural and architectural places, you can even depict weather conditions. When driving along such a route, study directions with your child (left, right, up, down); develop speech by asking questions - “What will happen if you turn left, where will you arrive? What can be done there? draw travel maps so that the child, following them, reaches the desired destination, so he will train mindfulness.

Show your imagination and come up with your own games and tasks, in which you can develop and learn everything that teachers teach children 4 years old in preschool institutions.

Some ideas for playful activities for girls

Almost all girls love either dolls or toy animals - and here there is a huge expanse for imagination. With dolls and animals, you can also learn the alphabet by sticking letters on them; hand out sweets to the dolls, let the dolls share with each other, count how many candies the dolls have different conditions and so on.

Dolls and animals are excellent tools for role-playing. We play in the store (we study addition and subtraction, letters, how the names of products are written, we develop speech and thinking). We play theater (we develop fantasy, speech, logic, memory, thinking) - we come up with short scenes, characters, names, memorize short rhymes; you can take a fairy tale from a children's book and put on a puppet show with toys based on the book.

Even a simple improvisation role-playing game will help develop all the necessary skills - ask the child as many questions as possible about the environment, talk about what he does not know yet.

Pros of developing activities with your favorite toys: The child is already immersed in games with his favorite toys, suggest new scenarios in his game - interest in activities is guaranteed.

Minuses: You will have to actively show your imagination, developing a scenario for developing activities, preparing additional materials (printouts of letters, numbers, cards with additional items). Although all these additional materials can be bought at a children's or bookstore.

improvised materials

Perhaps the most creative educational activities for children for 4 years old are crafts from improvised materials. A varied number of projects can come from: natural materials, cereals, empty packaging, household items household items, paper and special materials for creativity.

Start with what you want to do (what task you are facing: learn letters, develop fine motor skills, etc.), what specific tools at hand are suitable for this, how to glue or connect them securely - so much ingenuity needs to be shown. If you want to grow a creative person, then more often resort to games from improvised and natural materials.

Cereals and other small bulk objects (we develop motor and sensory skills)

Cereals can be sewn into toys made of thin fabric.

Flour can be placed in an inflatable ball, let the air out and tie it in a knot - the ball will keep its shape well. You can additionally decorate it with plastic eyes and attach hair (thread brush).

You can draw with cereals and sand by laying them out on a tray or gluing them to a sheet of paper.

By pouring grain or sand into a box, you can make a playing field (beach, construction site, garden) for a child to play.

Paper

Children's origami, the simplest, can be done by a child at 4 years old.

Applications: you can help the child by drawing simple shapes, let him cut them out with children's scissors and glue them himself.

You can cut out any objects for learning from paper, make educational notebooks with appliqué and drawing elements (a dollhouse, a track for cars with different locations, a forest, a city, a store, etc.) Use ready-made stickers in such notebooks, children love them very much .

Tubes, toothpicks

Cut tubules or use matches to fold the appliqué or build a house, use glue.

From the short parts of the tubes, you can make a chain, closing one end to the other.

From a toothpick and a potato, you can make a hedgehog or a porcupine.

From tubes, thick paper and a toilet paper sleeve, you can build a helicopter, then paint it with acrylic paints.

Natural materials (cones, twigs, pebbles, acorns…)

From all this goodness, a lot of crafts of animals, birds, men can turn out. Use plastic eyes, bright threads and colored paper.

Large smooth pebbles can be painted, turned into bizarre creatures by attaching eyes and string tails to them.

Threads and balls

Remember, you probably made dolls and pom-pom animals out of ropes.

The threads can be woven and tied to mesh fabric to create intricate patterns.

And this is only a small fraction of the ideas that can be developed using improvised materials. Lesson principle: put in front of the child necessary materials, after setting the direction, offer to make a craft using a little ingenuity. Guide the child, offer your ideas if he is at an impasse. A child, inventing and bringing such ideas to life, develops not only creative skills, he learns logic, non-standard thinking. And be sure to accompany your classes with guiding questions, counting, writing letters or numbers, come up with names, stories, study everything that comes to your hand.

daily affairs

And do not forget that your educational game can be directed to the benefit of the household and develop independence in a child. Which household can you trust a child?

Cleaning. Think in advance of each place (house) for toys, where they will live when they are not played. By the end of the game, you will need to send the toy to rest (sleep home). And be sure to accompany with leading questions - “What will your black fluffy bear cub do at home before going to bed? Put a (toy) fruit next to him for him to eat before going to bed. What fruit will you put in? What colour is he? Maybe put another one, how much fruit will the bear have then? etc. Each thing can be assigned a place (house) to which it must return to rest, otherwise it will be wrinkled, dirty (dusty), lost.

Loading washing machine and dishwashers. This is also a kind of quest for the child - to sort all things by colors, textures, shapes and purpose, set the program, there are numbers and letters that you need to remember until the next time. Children are very fond of pressing buttons, let them do it under supervision, - “I’ll check for you so that you don’t forget anything, otherwise you can break it ...” - and then explain that - “When the program is running, you can no longer knock it down by pressing the buttons, like and you can’t just press it, because it can break and flood the neighbors and us ... ”Be sure to accompany all actions with detailed explanations. Trust to load the dishes in a certain order, put one piece of dishes next to another in the same order, set the program, etc.

Cooking. A creative process, but you need to stick to the recipe, learn new ingredients, smell and taste, keep count. Trust your child to add to a recipe, research and study foods, mix, lay out, decorate, keep track of time - all that he can be useful in cooking that will broaden his horizons and be suitable for his age.

Important rules for stimulating the cognitive development of the child!

Remember that classes for children of 4 years old should not take place alone, the child should not sit and perform the tasks given by you alone, he must constantly be directed and show participation, praise, show interest in his decisions, kindling his enthusiasm - this is the only way he will show interest in activities.

Do not prohibit anything that does not pose a danger to the child - you risk raising him passive. But be sure to explain why it is impossible, what kind of danger it is, what consequences can be from his actions, if possible, show why this cannot be done. If it is too early for him to use any object, due to the fact that he can spoil it or get hurt, explain it to him in more detail. Otherwise, the child must explore this world, and you must guide him to this, help and make sure that everything goes safely. The world can also react to the actions of the child, your task is either to explain the options to the child, but it is better for the child to learn this from experience.
