For children from 3 to 7 years old, it is extremely effective and effective method learning is an interactive game. She allows in mild form tell kids about the world around them, introduce them to the heroes of fairy tales, and at the same time teach them to interact with each other to achieve the ultimate goal. You can read about what types of interactive games for preschoolers there are and how to conduct them in this article.
What it is?
Modern society is based on communication. Career, leisure, family depend on interpersonal connections - all the most important areas person. “Don’t have 100 rubles, but have 100 friends” - this saying only reinforces the need for interactive games. So what is it? Games in an interactive format are activities of preschoolers, which take place under the supervision of a teacher and are aimed at understanding the world around them and solving assigned problems through teamwork.
This format of the game allows children to be taught conflict-free and productive communication with peers, to become friendly and tolerant. The main subjects in the interactive game are children. It is best to ensure they are in a comfortable position and completely free of distractions. After explaining the rules of the game, children must interact with each other themselves; the teacher’s task is to gently guide the process in the right direction.
An interactive game should not be confused with a role-playing or business game. In the first option, everyone is assigned certain roles and situations, the second is aimed at developing business qualities and negotiation skills. Interactive games, in turn, teach something completely different - constructive communication with others.
Types of games
Among the variety of games for preschoolers with an interactive element, the following types can be distinguished:
- Games based on fairy tales are popular in children's preschool institutions. Such productions are understandable to children, because they feature characters known to them from childhood. Just in case, before playing such a game, you need to conduct a preparatory lesson that will remind the children about the heroes of the story. Leading questions from the teacher will help kids remember the plot and meaning of the fairy tale.
- Games that introduce children to the world around them. For preschoolers, the topics are simpler: “Pets,” “Hard and Soft,” “Who Lives in the Forest,” etc. For schoolchildren, the topics may be more complex: games to develop self-control, which teach group support and help to get to know classmates better, come out on top. Using a poetic form (it is best perceived by ear), the teacher greets the children and explains what the rules will be.
- Games using presentations or an interactive whiteboard successfully complement the lesson and make it more fun and visual. For schoolchildren, the presentation may include collective literacy or arithmetic tasks, and for younger children - pictures of animals and various quizzes. However, when using a computer, one should not forget about the main goal of an interactive game - to establish communication between children.
Purpose and benefit
They set clear goals for themselves:
- Improve your child's communication skills.
- Allow him to get to know himself and the children around him better.
- Teach how to achieve a goal through teamwork.
- Master the basics life rules society.
- Find out better educational material.
But the main goal of children's interactive games remains the development of the skill of successful and productive communication with peers. After all, by communicating, the child not only learns to achieve the intended task together, but also receives feedback which shapes his self-image. The importance of this is difficult to overestimate, and in many kindergartens and other educational institutions this method Communication is a mandatory part of the program.
Interactive games for preschoolers
The simplest version of the game is a variation on the theme of the fairy tale “Turnip”. Children learn to communicate with each other using facial expressions and gestures. After a little preparatory lesson, during which students remember the characters and plot of the fairy tale, the main part begins. During it, children are given the task: to line up cards with characters in the same order in which they appear in the fairy tale. A complicating element is the ban on the use of words: children should use only gestures and facial expressions.
Another option for an interactive game is the “Pet” activity. With the help of cartoons, poems or fairy tales, children are introduced to the selected animal during the preparatory lesson. Then the next stage begins: the kids are given a table with paper, glue and paints at their complete disposal. Children are divided into teams of 2-3 people. Together they need to create an image of an animal or bird. The teacher should not interfere in the game in any way; he is assigned the role of an observer. After the game, a discussion of the results takes place, the students exchange impressions with each other and discuss each other’s mistakes and actions.
For children of primary school age
Playing with interactive elements will be completely different for children in primary school schools. At this age, children already know and can do a lot, so the tasks for them will be much more difficult. Here is an example of several interactive games for school:
- Topic: “What can be dangerous in the outside world.” Schoolchildren need to be divided into groups: “dishes”, “ Appliances", "clothing" and "furniture". Each group of children, with the help of a teacher, must name dangerous objects in everyday life that can cause harm if handled incorrectly. Then the children watch a presentation on this topic, consolidating their acquired knowledge.
- For children school age Interactive games related to cartoons are very suitable. Using the characters from the cartoon “Masha and the Bear”, you can attract the attention of primary school children and make them more actively involved in the game. After a short preparatory lesson, which covers the theme of the interactive game “Where the Air Works,” the children are divided into groups and go with Masha and the bear to fabulous trip around the world. Each group must name those human inventions that work with the help of air. The process is accompanied by an interactive presentation.
Board games
Interactive board games have become very popular and are enjoyed by everyone, young and old. This requires a certain perseverance and concentration, so the minimum age of children for such activities is 4-5 years. Modern world board games offers a wide range of activities that will not only entertain the company, but also help you learn new things or reinforce material. The word "interactive" in the name indicates feedback or interaction of some kind. These board games often respond to children's actions and encourage them to develop dexterity, fine motor skills, and coordination. Here is an example of such benefits:
- The well-known game “Operation”, in which the child needs to carefully remove the disease without affecting healthy organs. Such entertainment not only develops coordination, but also helps to learn the names of human internal organs.
- "Shark Hunt" - represents board game, which consists of a playing field, chips, four fish and a hungry shark. Players take turns throwing chips. The colored sides on the dice indicate fish of the same color. They need to be moved before a hungry shark eats them. The game does not have a special educational load, but children really like it.
- "Crocodile Dentist" - fun game, in which the sick crocodile needs to press on all the teeth in turn, avoiding the patient if possible. If you get on it, the crocodile will immediately slam its mouth shut, which will mean loss. The game trains dexterity and coordination.
Games with presentation
Modern facilities that schools and kindergartens are equipped with significantly increase the effectiveness of interactive games. Due to the specific nature of concentration, it is advisable to use computer presentations already in classes with younger schoolchildren. They can increase the degree of assimilation of the material and the effectiveness of everything can be used both as an addition to an interactive game, and as an independent part with tasks, questions and quizzes. At the moment, there are many examples of interactive presentations on any topic on the Internet.
Didactic games
Do not confuse interactive games for classes with didactic ones. In the first, one way or another there is communication and interaction. In the second, the main element is active cognition followed by evaluation. Examples of didactic interactive games include:
- Games with objects. Children need to select objects of the same shape, size, etc.
- Verbal didactic games usually aimed at improving pronunciation, expanding vocabulary children.
- Printed board games are played with the help of visual aids. Most often these are paired cards and “Memories”, which train the child’s memory and observation skills.
Game creation algorithm
All interactive games contain a certain algorithm that must be followed when creating a scenario. During the game, children must follow the following points:
- Gaining knowledge - before the lesson, it is necessary to explain the basics of constructive communication, methods and means of achieving the desired result.
- Analyzing the behavior of other children during play helps the child understand other people's intentions and develop compassion and empathy towards others.
- Then the child must build a strategy to achieve the result he needs and stick to it during the interactive game.
- Finally, when, with the help of collective efforts and the guidance of the teacher, the goal is achieved, the game is considered completed.
Using this method, you can come up with an interactive game for any topic. A little imagination and creativity - and you will have a unique method of raising a child.
Scientists have long established that a person absorbs 80% of information through the eyes, and only 15% through hearing. Therefore, the recommendations strongly advise teachers to use visual printed materials or presentations. They increase children's motivation and help them better master the art of interpersonal communication.
Also, we must not forget that children must achieve the task through teamwork, and adult intervention in this process should be minimal. The teacher’s task is to prepare the kids for the lesson, set a goal for them and only slightly, if necessary, guide them during the game. If these conditions are met, the benefits and effects of the interactive game will not take long to arrive.
Results
Every educator and teacher would like to see their students successful and prepared for serious challenges outside the school walls. For effective solution tasks in adult life Often only one thing is needed - communication. Interactive ones help develop these qualities in preschoolers and thus lay the foundation for their successful future.
Interactive games in the classroom are a very special type of activity. During such lessons, children get the opportunity to gain new experiences, because they are completely different from usual.
During interactive games, the teacher has unique opportunity get closer to children and influence their mood, attitude towards themselves and others. It can help kids get to know themselves, their values and priorities better. A teacher can influence the character of children, make them more tolerant, attentive, help them cope with stress better, experience less fear, and feel less lonely.
Interactive games for schoolchildren teach children simple rules of life:
- You need to talk about your thoughts, feelings, experiences. No one can read minds, so if you don’t tell them yourself, no one will know about them.
- Relationships between people are a huge, but at the same time, fragile value. We need to learn to protect and develop them.
- Must be able to analyze correctly life situation. You cannot allow circumstances to force you to act hastily and incorrectly.
There are a huge variety of interactive games for children. Each teacher can easily come up with his own game aimed at developing the necessary skills. Let's list some of them.
Game "Web"
This interactive game helps children get to know each other and take their place in the team. It is good to use it in the first lesson, when the guys are still new to each other. For this game you will need a ball of thread.
All participants need to sit in one large circle. The teacher must start the game. Taking the ball in your hands, you need to give your name and some information about yourself. After this, the participant must take hold of the thread and pass the ball to the child sitting opposite.
Thus, after some time, everyone will be part of one big web. When everyone has said their names, you can ask the children questions, answering which the child will then pass the ball on. When it is already loose enough, you can start winding the threads back. In this case, the child should simply pass the ball to the previous one, calling his name.
Game "Sweet Problem"
This interactive game teaches children how to negotiate. Schoolchildren can negotiate in a calm atmosphere, defend their opinions, and concentrate on the problem. It is also a good opportunity to talk about justice. To play the game you will need one cookie for each student and one napkin for each pair of children.
First, the children need to sit in pairs. Then each pair is given one cookie wrapped in a napkin. At the same time, the conditions are stipulated that children should not start eating it until the rules of the game are announced. A child can only receive cookies if their partner gives them away voluntarily.
Children must decide for themselves who will receive it and what will be done with it. Some will deal with the issue quickly, others will take some time. Some guys give the cookies voluntarily, others give them on the condition that their partner will split them and give half of them.
At the second stage of the game, children are given a second cookie with a proposal to conduct the same negotiations and decide who will get it. Typically, children who give away a treat the first time expect to receive it the second time, although some give it away again. The guys who divided the cookies at the first stage most often do the same in the second.
At the end of the game, you need to discuss the results with the children, find out how they did and what they think about their decision. You can tell the children about various options cooperation.
Game "Mood Music"
This interactive game helps children relax, feel their mood and state of mind. It is best suited for large groups. Through play, children can express their anxiety, fatigue, joy, etc. The goal of the game is to create a single rhythmic pattern or several rhythms that complement each other.
First you need to stand in a large circle and close your eyes. After the teacher gives the signal, everyone should start clapping their rhythm. At first, some chaos is inevitable, because... everyone will clap in their own way, in accordance with their mood, but then the children will begin to hear and listen to those around them.
In the end it turns out that the guys clap either in one rhythm or there are two or three rhythms in parallel. When children realize that they are clapping in unison with someone, they should open their eyes and look at that person. The game continues until one of the students feels that the goal of the game has been achieved and shouts “Stop! "
Children's interactive games can become an invaluable tool in the hands of a teacher. Thanks to him, it becomes possible to get closer to students and make each of them feel important to others.
