Who is into what

This game is designed to teach you to take the role of a leader seriously and responsibly.

Everyone is invited to order the host to do something. After all the orders are spoken aloud, the players are told the rules of the game. They consist in the fact that each player himself must fulfill his order. If the child, inventing the task, did not take care of whether it was easy to complete, the next time he would be more serious.

"We will go out"

The game, designed for preschoolers and younger students, will teach children to convince others, and not to impose their own opinions.

The host says: “We are going for a walk in the forest. Let each tell his neighbor on the right what he needs to take with him, and explain why this particular thing will be needed on a forest walk.

When the players take turns talking with a neighbor, the host announces who he will take for a walk and who not. He does it this way: if the player simply tells the neighbor what to take, but cannot explain in detail the reason, they don’t take him for a walk.

If the player tries to convince a neighbor of the need to capture this or that object and comes up with incredible reasons, gives various arguments, he must certainly be taken.

It is better if at the time when two people are talking, the rest will listen to them and draw conclusions for themselves. Then it is easier for those who were not taken for a walk to correct themselves later.

"Hostilities"

The game is designed for children of primary school age.

The guys are divided into two teams. Each should have a "commander", the rest - "warriors". The “commander” develops a plan of “military operations”, and the rest must obey him. The task of the “commander” is to try to organize his “army” in such a way that all members of the team clearly follow his orders. He must come up with various ways to "attack" the other team, interesting enough, and organize the game itself in a fun and exciting way. If the "commander" cannot lead the "warriors", he is immediately re-elected. The owner of the best leadership qualities at the end of the game can be recognized as the "commander" whose team won.

"Captain"

Game for children of primary school age.

At the beginning of the game, a leader is chosen - the “captain”. The rest of the players are divided into two teams. The first team is “sailors”, and the second is “pirates”. The "captain" gives various orders, and the "sailors" must carry them out, but only if the orders are clear and precise. When the "sailors" are attacked by "pirates", the "captain" must think over a "battle" plan. At the end of the game, each of the players gives his assessment of the actions of the "captain" on a five-point system.

The game continues, but with a different "captain". When everyone tries himself in the role of "captain", the results are summed up. The winner will be the participant with the most points.

“They carry water on touchy people”

For children of primary school age.

The players are divided into two teams. Members of the first team will be "touchy", and the members of the second team, on the contrary, will try to convince the "touchy". The first team comes first. Its members can act out a skit or tell a story from their own lives about how someone once greatly offended them. Or you can tell how the player himself unwittingly or deliberately offended someone.

Members of the second team should carefully listen to the story or watch the "sketch" - a theatrical performance. After that, they should discuss the situation described in detail and give their opinion. They can say why it was impossible to be offended in this case. Or vice versa, you can say what measures should have been taken.

The facilitator carefully observes the game and the actions of all the guys. Then the most convincing and active players of the second team receive the earned points. Then the teams switch roles. Members of the second team become "touchy", and the first team, on the contrary, tries to convince them. Game continues. At the end, the facilitator sums up.

The winners are those who have received more points. It is these guys who can consider themselves the most conscious and restrained in the manifestation of various emotions, including resentment.

Search for "treasure"

For children of primary school age.

The host takes some small thing and hides it in the room. All players except one must know where he hid this item. The meaning of the game - one of the guys is in the dark about the location of the object. His task is to find this thing.

When he starts searching, the host and the rest of the players begin to tell him where the object is with hints and tips. The seeker in the course of the search will definitely show some emotions, for example, impatience, joy, resentment, etc. The task of the leader is to monitor these emotions, and then evaluate them according to a point system. The less emotions the player showed, the more points he will receive. And, accordingly, on the contrary, the more emotional the player was, the less points he gets.

In order for the player to have more reasons to show his emotions, you can first send him with hints to search in one direction, and when the search drags on, let him know that the direction was chosen incorrectly. Accordingly, the player will sooner or later show irritation, anger or resentment towards those who have been “leading him by the nose” for so long. This will be a kind of test of his ability to restrain his emotions.

Each player must pass such a "test". Of course, the item to be found must be hidden in a different place each time. The game progresses in exactly the same way: one is looking for a hidden object, while the others give him directions. As a result of the game, everyone scores a certain number of points. At the end of the game, the results are summed up. The winner is the one with the most points.

Surprise

For children of primary school age.

It is advisable to prepare for the game in advance: make small surprise gifts, wrap them in a beautiful wrapper. Put, for example, several boxes one into another, like a nesting doll, and wrap it nicely.

The host calls one of the players and solemnly hands him a gift. The player starts to unwrap this gift, and the presenter is interested in him, saying: "Your gift is a wonderful thing ... This is a toy made in a distant warm country, it is very popular all over the world ...". In fact, the toy can be a simple whistle or some other small thing. It is important to look at the reaction of the participant in the game while he is unwrapping the gift.

If the player does not express his emotions, calmly copes with the task and unfolds the toy, his restraint can be noted quite highly.

At all stages, it is important to monitor the emotions of the players, especially after they see the toy. Thus passes the "test" of the guys. At the end of the game, the results are summed up. Those who score more points win.

The game can also be diversified in this way: each player must unfold his gift slowly, so as not to damage the packaging and wrapping paper. It also shows the ability to restrain their emotions. An impatient player will try to see the surprise as quickly as possible, so he will not be careful and careful.

"Talents and Admirers"

For children of primary school age.

Children can complex for a variety of reasons. For example, they cannot draw. The task of the game is to help get rid of the complex.

The facilitator takes turns asking the guys to draw something. After some time, the drawings are submitted for general discussion. Each depicts what he can do. If a participant in the game can draw well, he can sketch something complex, if not, the drawing can be the simplest.

The facilitator begins to discuss the drawings. A special condition - you can’t say that the drawing is bad, you just need to emphasize its merits. All the guys support the discussion of each drawing, expressing their opinion. It can be noted that the colors are very talentedly chosen, that the idea itself is very interesting, etc. There are no winners and losers in the game, everyone has the right to express their opinion about the drawings, as well as present their work to the public. The author of the most talented drawing can be rewarded with a prize, and the most active participant in the conversation - with a prize or diploma.

"Talented Interlocutor"

For children of primary and secondary school age.

Children often experience complexes when communicating. This game will help you gradually get rid of excessive shyness.

The participants of the game are divided into pairs. One of the pair starts the conversation, and the task of the second is to keep the conversation going. The facilitator offers each pair a topic for conversation. Topics can be very different, for example, about the weather, nature, school affairs, a discussion of a movie, a book, and so on. You can discuss any problem, including the choice of clothes for a disco or a birthday.

The game goes as follows: first, each pair, as it were, rehearses their dialogue. And then she must show her dialogue to everyone present. That is, the players calmly talk to each other, and the rest listen carefully. In this way, each couple demonstrates to the others their ability to communicate. The host, in agreement with all those present, assigns a certain number of points to each pair. Then the players change. There are no winners or losers in the game, but the players who score the maximum number of points can be rewarded with some kind of prize.

"Cacti grow in the desert"

The game is intended

Everyone stands in a circle, join hands, walk and say:

“Cacti grow in the desert, cacti grow in the desert ...” The leader stands in the center of the circle, sometimes turns around. Suddenly, one of the players jumps out of the circle and shouts: “Oh!”. He must do this so that the leader does not see him at that moment, and the players adjacent to him immediately clasp their hands. If the leader sees someone about to jump out, he touches his shoulder, and he remains in the general circle.

The host asks: "What's wrong with you?"

The player comes up with any response related to the cactus (for example: “I ate the cactus, but it is bitter” or “I stepped on the cactus”).

After that, the player returns to the circle, and others can jump out. The most important condition is not to repeat yourself when answering the question of the presenter.

Those children who most often find themselves outside the circle are the most active and have great leadership abilities.

"Cubs on a walk"

It is useful to involve children of preschool and primary school age in such a game. It can be played in kindergarten or at a party in elementary school.

First, the host says: “You are all little bear cubs, you walk in the meadow and pick sweet strawberries. One of you is the eldest, he watches over all the others.”

Cheerful music sounds, children walk around the room and pretend to be cubs - roll over, pretend to pick berries, sing songs.

At this time, the host chooses one player and, when the music stops, announces that he is the older bear cub. His task (announced in advance) is to check as soon as possible whether all the cubs are in place, that is, to touch the shoulder of each player.

After he makes sure that no one is lost, the game resumes, and after a few minutes the host appoints another senior. The game goes on until everyone is in that role. The one who completes this task the fastest is declared the fastest and oldest. Naturally, this will only work for someone who will act calmer and more organized than the rest. At the end of the game, the facilitator explains why the winner was able to complete the task better than the others.

The game "Cubs for a walk" allows children to learn how to quickly respond to the task and organize their actions correctly. It can be done quite often, changing cubs to kittens, chickens, elephants, etc.

“Far, far away, in a dense forest…”

The game is for preschoolers. At this age, leadership qualities are quite pronounced, usually they are directly related to mental or physical superiority. With age, these qualities can disappear if they are not developed.

The players sit on chairs, close their eyes, and the host explains the rules: the phrase “far, far away, in a dense forest ... who?” One of the players answers, for example: “foxes”. If several answers are spoken at the same time, the leader does not accept them and repeats the phrase again. Sometimes it can be difficult for the players to decide who should answer, but the leader should not interfere and let the guys figure it out for themselves.

When the only answer is received, the host says the following phrase: “Far, far away, in a dense forest, fox cubs ... what are they doing?” Answers are accepted according to the same rules.

You can play this game for quite some time until you get bored. Or - when the first phrase becomes long enough, you can start over. The only condition: all phrases must begin the same way: "Far, far, in a dense forest ..."

It usually happens that one or more players answer the most. It is worth paying attention to them - it is they who have the most developed leadership abilities.

"Shipwreck"

The game is for children of preschool and school age.

The host announces: “We were sailing on a big ship, and it ran aground. Then a strong wind arose, the ship refloated, but the engine broke down. There are enough boats, but the radio has deteriorated. What to do?"

The situation may be different, the main thing is that there are several ways out of it.

The children discuss the current situation and consider all possible ways out of it. Someone offers one way out, someone else. It is important to pay attention to the one who most actively participates in the discussion, defends his opinion.

As a result of the discussion, the players tell the leader their way out of the situation, and he tells them what came of it. Naturally, the result must be successful. The leader must not allow a "split" among the players, that is, that one half of the children will choose one option, and the other half - the other.

"Fire brigade"

For preschool children.

At the beginning of the game, a leader is chosen. The rest of the players are the "fire brigade". The leader must send their "fire" to extinguish. Players have to run around, hustle and do some stupid things. The leader's task is to be able to "collect" them and force them to "put out the fire." As a result, each player gives his own assessment of the behavior of the leader on a five-point scale.

Then the players change places - someone else becomes the leader. The game is repeated. Then each of the players again gives his assessment of the leader's behavior. The game continues until each of the players is in the place of the leader. The winner will be the one with the most points.

"Photographer"

Game for preschoolers.

At the beginning of the game, a leader is selected - a “photographer”. The host must take interesting “photos”, which means he needs to seat the rest of the guys at his own discretion. The "photographer" will have to act quickly and accurately. He can offer the role of a teacher to one of the participants in the game - therefore, he needs to take the appropriate pose. Someone can become a “cop”, someone an “actress”, someone a “magician”.

Each of the players gives their assessment of the actions of the "photographer" on a five-point scale. Then the players change, the “photographer” becomes another. The game continues until all the guys are in the role of "photographer". And to make the game even more interesting, you can take a Polaroid and take snapshots. The best “photographer”, respectively, will get better pictures, which means that he is better than others able to ensure that others fulfill his requirements, and is a leader.

"I'm the best, and you?"

For preschool children.

All children should feel solidarity and receive a portion of encouragement and approval, and in an atmosphere of mutual perception and good mood, children will forget about their fears and doubts at least for a while. The game is designed for the participation of not too many children (from 3 to 5).

One of the children, to the general exclamations of approval, is heaped onto a chair, and for a while the dream of being on stage and earning enthusiastic applause becomes a reality. The others form a tight ring around the chair and clap their hands.

Each of the players should visit this place of honor, and those who receive applause and those who applaud receive enjoyment from the game.

"On the main street with an orchestra"

For preschool children.

The game helps children get rid of negative emotions, as well as imagine themselves as an important conductor of the orchestra. This exercise not only invigorates, but also creates a sense of solidarity. For the game, a cassette with a recording of perky and cheerful music that children would like and cause them positive emotions is useful.

All children must remember the conductor and the movements that he performs in the orchestra pit. Everyone should stand together in a common circle, imagine themselves as conductors and “conduct” an imaginary orchestra. In this case, all parts of the body should participate: arms, legs, shoulders, palms ...

"Gardener"

For children of preschool and primary school age; It is desirable that the number of participants be at least 10.

Choose a leader. They often become an adult.

All children take the names of colors. The host starts the game by saying the following text: “I was born a gardener, I was seriously angry, I was tired of all the flowers, except ...”, and calls one of the flowers from among the chosen children. For example, "... except for the rose." "Rose" should immediately respond: "Oh!". The host or one of the players asks: "What's wrong with you?" “Rose” answers: “In love.” The same player or host asks: “Whom?” "Rose" replies, for example, "Into the violet." "Violet" should immediately respond: "Oh!" etc. If you didn't respond when your flower was called, or if you yourself "fell in love" with someone who isn't here, then you've lost.The game starts all over again.

Nose, mouth...

For preschool children. It teaches the ability to quickly respond to a situation, develops their attention and the ability to quickly switch it from one subject to another.

Usually an adult becomes the leader. Sit facing the children, seating them in a semicircle. Start the game by saying "Nose, nose, nose, nose...". At the same time, with an outstretched index finger, touch your nose. Children should do the same. Suddenly change the word: “Nose, nose, mouth ...”, but you should not touch the mouth, but another part of the head, such as the forehead or ear. The task of the children is to touch the same part of the head as you, and not the one you named. Whoever makes more than 3 mistakes is out of the game.

The winner is the player who stays the longest in the game.

"Product base"

For children of preschool and primary school age.

The leader is selected. He will be the "director of the product base." Another one is a “store manager”. The rest of the players are "sellers". The essence of the game is as follows - one "salesman" comes to the "director of the product base" and asks him about what products are available. The “base director” calls him a specific list, for example: “There is ice cream, Ostankinskaya sausage, Salami sausage, smoked sausages, Dutch cheese, Indian tea, milk, butter, margarine.”

The “seller” must remember everything and pass it on to the “store director”. The difficulty is that you can’t write down the name of the products, you can only remember. At the same time, the presenters themselves may well write down what they said in order to check the players later. For each correctly named product, the player receives a point. Those who collect the most win.

After that, everyone opens their eyes and carefully looks at each other, trying to determine who is the fox. Lisa tries not to give herself away. Then they clap their hands three times and ask in chorus: “Red fox, where are you?” and look at each other. After the third repetition, the fox responds: “Here I am,” and begins to catch everyone. She places those caught in her house. The one the fox can't catch wins.

1. Exercise "Atoms and Molecules"

All players randomly move around the playground, at this moment they are all "atoms". As you know, atoms can turn into molecules - more complex formations consisting of several atoms. A molecule can have two, three, or five atoms.

Players on the leader's command will need to create a "molecule", i.e. multiple players will need to grapple each other. If the host says: “The reaction goes on by three!”, This means that three players - “atoms” merge into one “molecule”. The signal for the molecules to disintegrate again into individual atoms is the leader's command: "The reaction is over." If the guys do not yet know what an “atom”, “molecule”, “reaction” is, an adult should explain to them in a popular way. The signal for the return to the game of temporarily retired players is the command: "The reaction goes one at a time."

A little initial adjustment is required: the group is asked to close their eyes and imagine that each person is a small atom, and atoms are known to be able to combine and form molecules, which are quite stable compounds. This is followed by the words of the facilitator: “Now you will open your eyes and begin to move randomly in space. At my signal (the signal is subject to negotiation) you will unite into molecules, the number of atoms in which I will also name. When you're ready, open your eyes." Participants begin to move freely in space and, having heard the leader's signal, unite into molecules. After moving for some time as an integral compound, the molecules again disintegrate into individual atoms. Then the leader gives the signal again, the participants unite again, etc.

If the last number of atoms in the molecule is two, then the exercise is a good way to pair up the group for later work.

At the lesson, conflict situations should be avoided when, with the named number, the group cannot be divided equally and there are “extra participants” or some molecules do not have enough atoms to reach the required number.

1. Exercise "Confusion"

Everyone is standing in a circle.

Task 1: extend only your right hand into the middle of the circle and take one hand of any participant in the game, but not the people standing to your right and left.

Task 2: remaining in conjunction with the right hand of the participant selected in the last task, everyone needs to extend their left hand into a circle now and take anyone by one hand, but not the same as the right hand and not their “neighbors” on the right and left.

Task 3: there was confusion. It is necessary, without unclenching your hands, to unravel to the shape of a circle, with your back or face in a circle.

1. TV volume exercise

Participants, at the signal of the leader, pronounce the sound “A”, depending on the position of his hand, which they agree on in advance: “quiet - very loud” and intermediate. Assignment: adjust "the volume of your TV".

1. Exercise "CIRCLE"

Teacher's instruction: “Excellent, you are good at listening and following my instructions. And now let's join hands, into the castle and begin to approach the center of the circle. Our task is to become as dense as possible, while creating a perfect circle inside. Let's try. How do you think we got a circle? Now we will check. If at my command: "Tilt your torso to the right / left", the circle will not separate - it is really perfect, otherwise, we will have to repeat everything again. You can't take your feet off the ground. With the right construction, you should not experience any tension. A command is given. The exercise is repeated 2-4 times in different directions. This exercise is aimed at developing ways of interaction.

1. Exercise "Path"

Hold hands. On the command "walk" - go in a circle;

"Path" - the children put their hands on the shoulders of the person in front and tilt their heads down;

"Mop" - children raise their hands above their heads;

"Bumps!" - everyone sits down.

I can speak very quietly. Which team will be the most attentive?

• Relaxation Games

1. Exercise "Give a smile"

Participants stand in a circle, hold hands. Everyone in turn gives a smile to his neighbors on the left and right, it is important to look into each other's eyes.

1. Exercise "Binding thread"

Participants become in a circle. The leader, holding a ball in his hands, passes it to another child with a wish, leaving the thread with him. The one who got the ball passes the wish to the next player, leaving the thread with him. And so in a circle. When the ball returns to the leader, everyone is "tied" with one thread. “Pull the thread a little and feel that we are one whole in this world…”.

A friendly class is the dream of any teacher, child, parent. It is very easy to implement it. Work should be done to ensure that every child in the children's team feels like a person in demand, feels psychological comfort from his stay here, and receives the necessary support from his comrades.

Every teacher knows from his own experience that year by year the number of children with various problems in behavior, in the ability to build relationships with friends, to find a worthy way out of any situation is increasing. It is possible to help these children only by applying various adequate methods of influencing the team as a whole and each student individually.

Psychological researchers convincingly argue that having the qualities of psychological health often become a stronger foundation for a long and active life than direct concern only for physical health. This means that the activity of a practical child psychologist should be aimed at developing in a child useful skills and habits that contribute to successful adaptation in society and productive development for the benefit of himself and society.

The younger student is still at that transitional stage when the inner is better acquired through the outer and gets out first of all through action.

We offer a system of games that can be conducted by a teacher or a psychologist. In one of the lessons, 10-15 minutes should be allocated for playing with the children. It is important that this becomes a system, and not used occasionally. If the teacher considers this type of work obligatory and necessary, organizes it correctly, then this joint activity will ensure that each child finds himself in a situation of success, which reduces psychological stress, increases self-esteem, and improves mood.

As practice shows, children love these minutes of the game very much, they are waiting for them, they are able to make an effort on themselves in the lessons and breaks in order to bring them closer and not miss the desired lesson. With a decent organization of classes, after 2-3 weeks, children react more calmly to situations that arise in the classroom, behave more peacefully, balanced, better contact with their comrades to solve a specific pedagogical or psychological problem. Thus, tolerance is brought up in children, which is the necessary basis for building any relationship in everyday life.

Lesson number 1.

Games that set children up for joint activities and communication.

Game Please. The children are in their seats. The teacher names an action that children should perform only if the word “please” is uttered (for example: “Please raise your hands up”, etc.).

Game "Affectionate name". Children stand in a circle. The host offers to remember how he is affectionately called at home. Then he offers to throw the ball to each other and the one to whom the ball hits calls his affectionate name. After everyone has called their names, the ball is thrown in the opposite direction. At the same time, you need to remember and name the affectionate name of the person to whom you throw the ball.

Lesson number 2. Self-support.

Game "I can do it". The facilitator offers the children different situations. The one who thinks he can handle the situation raises both hands up, and the one who does not know the way out hides his hands behind his back.

Discussion. Children tell how they will behave. If the proposed option is approved by the majority of children, then you should put the chip in the “I did it” box.

Lesson number 3. Thoughts control actions.

Game "I am strong". The facilitator invites the children to check how words and thoughts affect the state of a person. He approaches each child in turn and asks him to stretch his hand forward. Then he tries to lower the child's hand down, pressing on it from above. The child must hold his hand, while saying out loud: “I am strong!”. At the second stage, the same actions are performed, but with the words: “I am weak.”

Ask the children to pronounce the words with the appropriate intonation. Then discuss when it was easier for them to hold their hand and why.

Try to lead the children to the conclusion that words of encouragement help us cope with difficulties and win.

Lesson number 4. Games with fingers and on fingers.

Children love to move their fingers and talk. These games help develop speech, form communication skills, teach the harmony of gestures and simply cause a smile.

Sparrow game. Five sparrows were sitting on the fence (hands in front of them, fingers spread out). The participants in the game grab each other with any finger (by agreement of the right or left hand) and pull in their direction. The winner is the one who draws the neighbor closer to him.

Lesson number 5. Games with fingers and on fingers.

The game "Lunokhod". The facilitator reads the poem:

See: lunar rover
Walking on the moon is easy
He walks very importantly

A group of classes on the development of imagination and creative interaction.

The game "Bridge of Friendship".

The teacher asks the children, if they wish, to form pairs and “build” a bridge (with the help of arms, legs, torso). If there are no volunteers, an adult can pair up with a child and show how to draw a bridge (for example, touch their heads or hands).

The game "Human Machine".

It is important to explain to the children that the result of their work will depend on how well all the “parts” of the machine work together.

Divide the children into groups and ask them to design their own machine (eg washing machine, mixer, etc.).

You can demonstrate one of the machines, for example, a washing machine. Ask two children to hold hands so that the third one can freely spin in the middle, depicting “underwear”.

The proposed forms of work of a psychologist in the lower grades of secondary school were tested by us in practical activities. We observed in the course of working with children how they gradually became more open, liberated, friendly, contact. The use of games in which the arms are mobile develops the motor skills of small muscles, which affects the activity of the brain, the speed of thought processes, which, in turn, affects the educational activities of schoolchildren.

for children of primary school age

This is a period of positive change and transformation. And if at this age the child does not feeljoy of knowledge, does not gain confidence in his abilities and abilities, does not learn to be friends, does not acquire the ability to learn, then it will be much more difficult to do this in the future, outside the sensitive period.

The development of a new leading activity - educational - at primary school age is just beginning. This process takes place both at home and at school. The school imposes special requirements on the child, the assimilation of which requires a certain time and effort. Children adapt to school gradually. The adaptation process affects various areas of the child's personality and is individual in nature. Children with a high level of physical and psychological readiness for school adapt more easily, however, every child has certain problems associated with adapting to new living conditions. For some children, the adaptation period is delayed.

As a rule, the difficulties that arise in children of primary school age cause the need for already mastered and favorite gaming activities. Special classes using educational games are especially useful for children with low self-esteem, anxious, insufficiently attentive, sluggish, some children with increased activity or, conversely, with a “slowed down” perception of the surrounding reality, as well as schoolchildren who have difficulty in building and maintaining harmonious interpersonal relationships. “Joining” the child in this activity, working with him in the learning process at a level accessible to him, we thereby provide him with a favorable transition to solving educational problems. In the case of a child lagging behind in mental development, the game is the only possible form of adaptation of the child to learning activities, since it ensures that the teaching methods correspond to the psychological age.

A game for children is not only and not so much entertainment. For a child, play is the main activity. It helps him develop and learn about the world around him. Psychological games for children can be aimed at developing memory, reaction, ingenuity, attention, imagination, ear for music. They will help identify leaders in the children's team, make friends and rally the team, overcome shyness and develop self-confidence. The advantage of psychological games for children is that the child will be happy to play, not even suspecting that at that moment he is being brought up.

Psychological games for children.

Memory development

"Funny Drawings" On sheets of paper you need to draw funny non-existent objects - fruits, vegetables, animals, etc. Each item has a unique name. Then the children are shown the drawings and are told the names of each of them, having previously warned that they need to be remembered. Then the drawings are removed, and after a few seconds they are shown again, and the children remember their names. If you are playing with one child, then he will simply have to name as many items as possible. If with several - arrange a competition, accruing one point for each guessed item or giving out a reward.

Development of thinking and imagination

"How to connect two words?" This game develops imagination and the ability to establish associative (semantic) connections. The leader in this game is an adult. He names any two words, for example, "parsley" and "grandmother". Children should explain how these words are related. The options can be very different: the grandmother grows parsley on the windowsill; grandmother has curly hair like parsley, etc.

Development of responsibility in decision making

"Who is in what much" This game teaches you to take the role of a leader seriously and responsibly. Everyone is invited to order the host to do something. After all orders have been spoken aloud, the players are toldrules of the game. They consist in the fact that each player himself must fulfill his order. If the child, inventing the task, did not take care of whether it was easy to complete, the next time he would be more serious.

Development of switching attention and voluntariness in performing movements

"Flies - does not fly" The leader names the items. If the object flies - you need to raise your hands, if it does not fly - your hands are lowered. The leader deliberately makes a mistake, showing the wrong movement. Many guys will raise their hands involuntarily, by virtue of imitation. It is necessary to hold and not raise hands in a timely manner when a non-flying object is named.

Developing the ability to control your emotions

"Surprise"You need to prepare for the game in advance: make small surprise gifts, wrap them in a beautiful wrapper. Put, for example, several boxes one into another, like a nesting doll, and wrap it beautifully.

The host calls one of the players and solemnly hands him a gift. The player starts to unwrap this gift, and the presenter is interested in him, saying: "Your gift is a wonderful thing ... This is a toy made in a distant warm country, it is very popular all over the world ...". In fact, the toy can be a simple whistle or some other small thing. It is important to look at the reaction of the participant in the game while he is unwrapping the gift.

If the player does not express his emotions, calmly copes with the task and unfolds the toy, his restraint can be noted quite highly. At all stages, it is important to monitor the emotions of the players, especially after they see the toy.

The game can also be diversified in this way: each player must unfold his gift slowly, so as not to damage the packaging and wrapping paper. It also shows the ability to restrain their emotions. An impatient player will try to see the surprise as quickly as possible, so he will not be careful and careful.

Developing the ability to find positive moments in any situation

"Talents and Admirers" Children can complex for a variety of reasons. For example, they cannot draw. The task of the game is to help get rid of the complex and teach children to be able to find positive moments in any situation. The facilitator invites the children to draw something. Each depicts what he can do. If a participant in the game can draw well, he can sketch something complex, if not, the drawing can be the simplest. After some time, the drawings are submitted for general discussion. A special condition - you can’t say that the drawing is bad, you just need to emphasize its merits. All the guys support the discussion of each drawing, expressing their opinion. It can be noted that the colors are very talentedly chosen, that the idea itself is very interesting, etc.
