New Year's games for preschoolers: description of games
Game 1. "Where are our hands": we play with a toy Santa Claus and develop the child's speech
In this fun grammar game, the child will quietly learn to use words in the genitive plural case correctly, and we will prevent many speech errors.
To play, you need a Santa Claus figurine made of paper or a Santa Claus toy.
How to play:
We go with the child to the toy Santa Claus and say a rhyme:
"You are kind, you are bright,
You are in a fur coat, you are in a hat,
You have a red nose.
So you are Santa Claus!
Santa Claus, Santa Claus,
Don't freeze our hands!"
Santa Claus answers (an adult speaks on behalf of the toy cheerfully and jokingly): “Where are your pens? I'm freezing now!"
The task of the players is to quickly hide the named part of the body and tell Santa Claus: “There are no our pens!”.
You can close the named part of the body with your palms, clothes or a scarf, handkerchief. You can stand up so that the handles are not visible, cover the handles to each other.
Santa Claus: Where are your legs?
Adult and children: There are no our legs (we hide our legs under a chair, under a scarf).
Santa Claus: Where are your heels?
Adult and children: There are no our heels (we hide the heels, sitting on our knees).
A child and an adult each time figure out how to hide the named part of the body from Santa Claus's toy (there are no noses, mouths, ears, cheeks, eyes, elbows, knees, etc.). If the child made a mistake, for example, he said: “We don’t have eyebrows” instead of “eyebrows”, then Santa Claus asks him again: “Something I didn’t hear - where are your eyebrows?”.
Game vocabulary:
For young children up to 3.5 - 4 years old, we use the simplest words in the game: no heels, knees, arms, legs, palms. Then we enter more complex words - no mouths, ears, noses, mouths, cheeks, eyebrows, necks, chins, lips, foreheads, etc.
At the end of a dialogue of 5-7 replicas (“we don’t have ..”), the toy Santa Claus says jokingly:
"One two Three! Run from the cold! I'll freeze!" And the child runs away from the frost to the appointed place (to his house). The game is repeated again 1-2 more times.
Game 2
The game is played next to a Christmas tree decorated with toys.
Option 1. Guess the toy from the description.
First, consider the toys on the Christmas tree, does the child know who it is, what is the name of this toy? Then the child describes the toy, naming its features. The players guess. When the toy is guessed, everyone depicts this toy to cheerful music.
For example: “This toy is very fun. She has a big blue hat and yellow trousers. She is holding a large book in her hands. This toy is smiling ”(Dunno).
Or “This toy is small. She is white. She has long ears and a short tail. She knows how to jump. This toy is very afraid of the fox and the wolf. Who is it?".
If it is difficult for a child to think of a toy, then an adult tells him the beginning of the phrase: “This toy .... Which? She has... what? She has a tail ... what?
Option 2. Guess the toy by its "address".
Each toy has its own "address" on the Christmas tree. First consider the Christmas tree: who lives where? Who lives next to the bear? And what toys live above / below the house? Which toys live to the right of the fox, and which ones live to the left of the fox?
Then the presenter guesses a toy, and the children try to guess which toy is guessed, asking the presenter questions: does this toy live on a Christmas tree above the bear figurine? Is she to the right of the star? Is she to the left of the candy? In the future, children guess toys, and an adult guesses them by questions.
Game 3.New Year's speech gamemasks«: the development of speech and logical thinking
AT fun game we will teach the child to ask questions in a logical sequence, to conduct a dialogue.
You will need: ready-made New Year's children's masks or homemade masks.
How to play:
Step 1. A mask is put on the child's head so that he does not see the image on it. There should be no mirrors in the room so that the child cannot see what kind of mask he has on his head.
Step 2. The kid tries to guess what role he plays by asking questions to the players. Questions can only be answered with “yes” or “no”.
For example: Am I human? (No). Am I an animal? (Yes). I can jump? (Yes). Can I run? (Yes). Am I green? Am I eating grass? I am kind? etc.
Step 3. After the child has guessed correctly, he removes the mask and checks the correctness of the answer. And passes the role of the guesser to the next kid.
First, the adult shows how to play this game (becomes the leader in the game, asks a sequence of questions and guesses his mask), then the child guesses.
Useful advice. How to make a mask:
Option 1. Cut out a strip of paper and glue a picture of a fairy-tale hero or animal to it. The mask - the rim is ready. It can also be used for staging fairy tales at the New Year's children's party.
Option 2. We draw a muzzle of an animal. On the side we make two slots and insert the ties. We tie the mask on the head of the child.
Game 4. Game with snowflakes "Guess the surprise": speech development
In the game, we enrich and activate the children's vocabulary, teach the baby to speak vividly, figuratively, expressively.
Make snowflakes out of paper (How to make different types snowflakes can be recognized). Lay out of them a large snowdrift on the table or on the floor. Place a surprise (picture, sticker) under the snowdrift so that it is not visible what exactly is hidden under the snowdrift. Ask the child to "disenchant" the snowdrift and find the prize.
In order for the snowflakes to fly away, you need to praise them - to name which snowflakes. They are… white, openwork, patterned, cold, shiny, dancing, beautiful, beautiful, icy, fluffy, small, etc.
Adult and child take turns saying one word each. An adult names complex words that are rarely found in everyday life, enriching the child's vocabulary. The child calls simpler words in the game.
The number of snowflakes in a snowdrift depends on the age of the child and the level of development of his speech. For the youngest, it is enough to pick up 5 words for the child, for older children it can be 10-15 words.
When all the snowflakes have “flew away”, the baby can see the surprise that was hidden under the snowdrift and take it for himself.
Game 5. Find a New Year's surprise: learning to navigate in space
Option 1. Ask the kid to go out the door and hide the New Year's toy - a surprise. When he enters the room, tell him the way to the toy. Approximate path can be told like this: “Go straight to the table, at the table turn right (the child does). Walk five steps. And now one step back, turn left (the child performs). Walk two steps. Seek!" In the first games, a three-year-old kid can be given one or two teams, a four-year-old kid can be given no more than 2-3 teams. Then you can increase the number of teams to 5 or even more.
Option 2. When the child masters this game, complicate it. In the second version of the game, the baby needs to name the direction in which he is going. Here's how it's done.
Cut out arrows of different colors from colored paper or colored cardboard and lay them on the floor. Tell your child, “Go where the red arrow is pointing, walk three steps. Where do you need to go? (the child names the direction: left, right, straight or back). “And then go where the blue arrow points. Where is she taking you? (the child calls - to the right or to the left. forward or backward) Walk 2 steps. Now look!
Option 3. For older preschoolers, complicate the task. Draw a plan of the room ahead of time. On the plan, mark the window, door and main pieces of furniture with bright colored rectangles, squares, circles. Mark on the plan with a cross the place where you hid the New Year's surprise.
The child will need to look at the plan of the room, find a door, a window, a wardrobe, a table, a sofa on the plan; your location in the room; the place where the prize is hidden. And then look for a surprise. It can be a surprise from Santa Claus, and his new task, and a riddle, and a picture - a coloring book or a small new Christmas toy for the Christmas tree.
Game 6
Both children and adults participate in the game. Players are divided into pairs. Each couple agrees in advance with each other that it will perform for everyone. It can be a small quatrain about a Christmas tree, one verse from a famous New Year's song, a tongue twister, a rhyme or a tongue twister, New Year's greetings for everyone. You can prepare small texts in advance to help adults learn them with kids.
The first couple goes to the Christmas tree and performs their surprise for everyone.
Immediately after this, the host of the game says to the first couple: “One .... Two ... .. Three ... .. ”, stretching the pauses between words. To these words, the players from this pair need to quickly stand with their backs to each other. The host continues: "Look." Players in a pair turn their heads to the right or left.
If the players in a pair matched (that is, both turned in the same direction - for example, to the Christmas tree, to the window), then they hug, congratulate each other on the New Year. Or maybe they get a small gift, for example, a cranberry in powdered sugar or a picture, a sticker, a coloring book, a small prize.
At the end of the game, all players receive small prizes.
Game 7. When Christmas toys come to life: development of expressiveness of movements, emancipation of the child
Review the toys on the Christmas tree with the children. Tell us that at night, when people are sleeping, Christmas decorations come to life.
Let's close our eyes and imagine what our favorite Christmas toy does at night (a horse, a snow maiden, an icicle, a flashlight, etc.). What she does? (we call possible actions- the doll dances, visits, sings songs, flaps her eyelashes, combs her hair, etc.)
Tell your child: “Now guess what my favorite Christmas tree toy was as a child. I'll show you how she came to life at night." Imagine, for example, a soldier who beats a drum. Or a doll. You can perform any action as a toy - walk around the room, greet the child, inspect various objects, salute. But toys can't talk - they do it all silently!
The child guesses the toy you have guessed.
Then the child thinks of his Christmas tree toy and shows you with gestures what she does at night silently so as not to wake up her owners. And you guess.
Game 8
Take an envelope or bag and put small New Year's surprises in it. Prepare audio fragments of different New Year's songs (the duration of one fragment is 30-45 seconds).
How to play:
Option 1. All players sit in a circle. Turn on the music and pass the envelope around. The rule - when passing the envelope (pouch), you must definitely say a polite request. Otherwise, the envelope cannot be transferred. Adults help children, at first prompting different variants request wording.
Game vocabulary: how can i ask
- Misha, be kind, pass the letter (pouch) further.
- Vanya, do a good deed, please pass the letter on.
- Lena, if it's not difficult for you, pass the letter.
“Grandma, could you deliver the letter?”
- Mommy! Please pass the letter on!
- Olenka! I beg you: pass the letter.
Polite words: Please. Be my friend. Please. Please. Could you. If you do not mind. Be so kind.
As soon as the music stops, the transmission of the letter in the circle also stops. And this means that the one on whom the music has stopped (who now has a letter) can open it and take one picture as a gift. Then the music starts to sound until a new stop.
Option 2. From the envelope we get not prizes in the game, but tasks - forfeits (sing a song, congratulate everyone on the New Year, portray Santa Claus, make a New Year's riddle, etc.)! If the music stops, the player takes the task out of the envelope and completes it. The envelope must contain not only tasks, but also empty cards - surprises, as well as small gifts. The intrigue of the game - what will the player get? You will be surprised how quickly the adults will pass the envelope to each other in this game! 🙂
