ORDER ACCOUNT

Count up to two

The sun lifts us up to recharge,
We raise our hands on the command "one".
And the foliage rustles merrily above them.
We lower our hands on the command "two".

Count up to three

Darkness lay all around.
One two Three -
Run run!

Pinocchio stretched,
Once - bent over
Two - Bent over
Three - bent over.
Raised hands to the sides,
Apparently the key has not been found.
To get us the key
You have to get on your toes.

Count up to four

The mice came out once
See what time it is.
One two three four -
The mice pulled the weights...
Suddenly there was a terrible sound
The mice ran away.

Count up to five

Fingers fell asleep
Curled into a fist. (Clench fingers into fists)
One two three four five! (Alternately straighten fingers)
Wanted to play!

The sun peeked into the bed ...
One, two, three, four, five.
We all do exercises
We need to sit down and stand up
Stretch your arms wider.
One, two, three, four, five.
Bend over - three, four,
And stand still.
On the toe, then on the heel -
We all do exercises.

Count up to eight

One, two - above the head,
Three, four - hands wider.
Five, six - sit down quietly,
Seven, eight - let's discard laziness.

SEASONS: POEMS, RIDDLES AND PROVERBS

If a child has difficulty remembering the seasons, poems can help. Riddles are useful for reinforcing the material.

Winter

I have a lot to do:
I am a white blanket
I cover all the earth
I clean the ice of the river
Whitewash fields, houses
My name is ... (winter).

The cold has come.
The water turned to ice.
Long-eared hare gray
Turned into a white bunny.
The bear stopped crying

The bear went into hibernation in the forest.
Who's to say, who knows
When does it happen?

The days got shorter
The sun shines a little
Here comes the frost
And winter has come.

It was winter - it was cold, snow.
Winter is gone and there is no snow.

Spring

I open my kidneys
In green leaves
I dress the trees
I water the crops
Full of movement.
My name is ... (spring).

We got up early today
We can't sleep tonight!
They say the starlings are back!
They say it has come ... (spring)!

The streams rang
The rooks have arrived.
In your house - a beehive - a bee
Brought the first honey.
Who's to say, who knows
When does it happen?

Summer

I am woven from the heat
I carry warmth with me
I warm the rivers
I invite you to swim.
And love for it
You are all of me. I ... (summer).

The sun bakes
Linden color
The rye is earing
Golden wheat.
Who knows who knows,
When does it happen?

Autumn

I bring the harvest
I sow the fields again
Sending birds to the south
I undress the trees
But I don't touch the pines
And Christmas trees. I ... (autumn).

Came without paints and without a brush
And repainted all the leaves.

What are the leaves whispering?
Let's go and ask.
Leaves answer: autumn, autumn, autumn.

Puzzles

Sisters live on earth
The sisters have pigtails.
Here is the green pigtail:
This is the first sister.
Plow, sow, water,
Opens the eyes of the kidneys. (Spring)

Multi-colored pigtail -
Burnt sister.
He also works skillfully
For everything to grow and mature. (summer)

golden braid -
This is the redhead sister.
Cleans, blows, mows,
The harvest is in the barns. (autumn)

And the fourth pigtail -
White sister.
Everything will be covered with a blanket,
Everything will smooth out, clean up,
And then the tired earth
Sing a lullaby. (winter)

Proverbs about the seasons

December ends the year, and winter begins.

January is the beginning of the year, the middle of winter.

Everyone is young in the winter cold.

Winter scares summer, but it still melts.

The stronger the winter, the sooner the spring.

As winter is not angry, but submits to spring.

There is no winter without snow and no summer without rain.

Winter is not summer, dressed in a fur coat.

February is strong with a blizzard, and March - with a drop.

DAYS OF THE WEEK

On Monday I washed
I swept the floor on Tuesday.
On Wednesday I baked kalach
All Thursday I was looking for the ball,
I washed the cups on Friday
I bought a cake on Saturday.
All girlfriends on Sunday
Called for a birthday.

Here is a week, it has seven days.
Get to know her quickly.
First day of all weeks
It's called Monday.
Tuesday is the second day
He stands in front of the environment.
Middle Wednesday
It's always been the third day.
And Thursday, the fourth day,
He wears his hat sideways.
Fifth - Friday sister,
A very fashionable girl.
And on Saturday, the sixth day
We rest with the whole crowd
And last Sunday
We appoint a day of fun.

Where did Monday go?

Where's the slacker Monday? -
Asks Tuesday
- Monday is not a loafer,
He is no slacker
He is a great janitor!
He's for Wednesday's cook
He brought a bucket of water.
To the stoker Thursday
He made a poker.
But Friday came
Shy, tidy,
He left all work
And rode with her on Saturday
Sunday for lunch.
I sent you my regards.
Y. Moritz

GAMES

Chain of examples

Target: to train children in the ability to perform arithmetic operations.

Game progress: two groups of participants sit on chairs - one opposite the other. One child takes the ball, calls a simple arithmetic example: 3 + 2 - and throws the ball to someone from the other group. The one to whom the ball is thrown gives an answer and throws the ball to the player from the first group. The one who caught the ball continues the example in which it is necessary to perform an action with the number that is the answer in the first example. A participant in the game who gives an incorrect answer or example is eliminated from the game. The group of children who has more players left wins (offered for children 6-7 years old who have successfully mastered arithmetic operations).

guess the number

Target: reinforce children's ability to compare numbers.

Game progress: on the instructions of the leader, the child must quickly name the number (s) less than 8, but more than 6; greater than 5 but less than 9, and so on. A child who has fulfilled the conditions of the game receives a flag. When children are divided into 2 groups, the one who answered incorrectly is eliminated from the game.

Only one property

To play, you need to make a special set of geometric shapes. It includes 4 figures (circle, square, triangle and rectangle) of four colors (red, blue, yellow and white), small size. The same set includes the same number of the listed figures of the indicated colors, but larger in size. Thus, for the game (per participant) you need 16 small geometric shapes of four types and four colors and the same number of large ones.

Target: to consolidate knowledge of the properties of geometric shapes, to develop the ability to quickly select the desired figure, describing it.

Game progress: two playing children have a full set of figures. One (the one who starts the game) puts any piece on the table. The second player must place a piece next to it that differs from it in only one way. So, if the first one puts a big yellow triangle, then the second one puts a big yellow square or a big blue triangle, and so on. A move is considered incorrect if the second player places a piece that does not differ from it by more than one sign. In this case, the piece is taken from the player. The one who is first left without pieces loses. (Options are possible.)

The game is built like a domino. In the course of the game, players need to quickly orient themselves in the color, shape, size of the pieces, hence the impact on the development of logic, the validity of thinking and actions.

Number series (for older preschool children)

Target: consolidate knowledge of the sequence of numbers in the natural series.

Game progress: two children lay out face down cards with numbers then 1 to 10 in front of them. In this case, each of the children is given a certain number of cards with numbers (for example, up to 13). Some of the digits appear twice in the set. Each player in turn takes a card with a number, opens it and puts it in front of him. Then the first player opens another card. If the number indicated on it is less than the number of the previously opened card, the child puts the card to the left of the first, if more - to the right. If he takes a card with a number already open, then he returns it to its place, and the right to move passes to the neighbor. The first person to lay out their row wins.

name the number

Target: to exercise children in the ability to make oral calculations.

Game progress: an adult or older child says: “I can guess the number that you have in mind. Think of a number, add 6 to it, subtract 2 from the sum, then subtract the conceived number, add 1 to the result. You got the number 5. In this simple task of ingenuity, the intended number can be any, but to solve it you need to be able to calculate verbally.

How much candy to take?

Target: to exercise children in correlating the condition of the problem with the result.

Game progress: the condition of the problem is proposed: “there were 3 apples in the vase. Mom gave them to three girls. Each of the girls received one apple, and one remained in the vase. How did it happen?" the solution of the problem comes to the answer as a result of reflection, correlation of conditions with the result. (one girl took an apple along with a vase).
