At the seminar, the teacher presents these games to colleagues, and he plays 2 games (the ones he liked the most) on colleagues (he is the teacher, the rest of the teachers are "children")
Goals and main tasks:
Develop relationships based on equality or readiness (ability) to constructively solve problems related to the position (status) in the group, to help children feel unity with others.
Develop openness, the ability to express interest in each other and your attitude towards others.
Show children what mutual recognition and respect means.
Develop communication and non-violent conflict resolution skills.
Arouse interest in a common goal.
Develop a willingness to contribute to the common cause.
Develop a willingness to meet each other halfway.
Learn to be patient with the shortcomings of others.
"Kind animal"
Target : promote cohesion children's collective, teach children to understand the feelings of others, provide support and empathy.
Game progress ... The presenter in a quiet, mysterious voice says: “Please stand in a circle and hold hands. We are one big kind animal. Let's hear how it breathes. Now let's breathe together! On inhalation we take a step forward, on exhalation - a step back. And now we take two steps forward for inhalation, and two steps back for exhalation. So not only does the animal breathe, just as smoothly and clearly its big kind heart beats, knocking - a step forward, knocking - a step back, etc. We all take the breath and beat of the heart of this animal for ourselves. "
"The little train"
Target: creating a positive emotional background, rallying the group, developing voluntary control, the ability to obey the rules of others.
Game progress ... Children are built one after another, holding on to the shoulders. The "locomotive" is carrying the "trailer", overcoming various obstacles.
"The dragon bites its tail"
Target: rallying the group.
Game progress ... The players stand behind each other, holding on to the waist in front of the one standing in front. The first child is the head of the dragon, the last is the tip of the tail. To the music, the first player tries to grab the last one - the “dragon” catches its “tail”. The rest of the children tenaciously hold on to each other. If the dragon does not catch its tail, then the next time another child is assigned to the role of "dragon head".
"Bug"
Target: disclosure of group relations.
The course of the game. Children line up behind the driver. The driver stands with his back to the group, putting his hand out from under the armpits with an open palm. The driver must find out which of the children touched his hand, and drives until he guesses correctly. The driver is selected using a counting device.
After three sessions in a group, 5 spontaneous roles can be distinguished according to observations:
leader;
leader's comrade ("henchman");
non-aligned oppositionist;
obedient conformist ("ram");
"scapegoat".
"Embrace"
Target: teach children to physically express their positive feelings, thereby contributing to the development of group cohesion. The game can be played in the morning when the children gather in the group to "warm up" it. The teacher must show his desire to see in front of him a single cohesive group that unites all children, regardless of their level of sociability.
Game progress ... The teacher invites the children to sit in one big circle.
Educator. Children, how many of you still remember what he did with his soft toys to express his attitude towards them? That's right, you took them in your arms. I want you all to be good to each other and be friends with each other. Of course, sometimes you can argue with each other, but when people are friendly, it is easier for them to endure resentment or disagreement. I want you to express your friendship with the rest of the children by hugging them. Perhaps there will be a day when one of you does not want to be hugged. Then let us know what you want, for now you can just watch, but not participate in the game. Then everyone else will not touch this child. I will start with a light little hug, and I hope you will help me transform this hug into a stronger and more friendly one. When the hug reaches you, any of you can add enthusiasm and friendliness to it.
Children in a circle begin to hug each other, each time, if the neighbor does not mind, increasing the hug.
After the game, questions are asked:
Did you like the game?
Why is it good to hug other children?
How do you feel when another child hugs you?
Do they pick you up at home? How often does it happen?
"Applause in a circle"
Target: the formation of group cohesion.
Game progress . Educator. Guys, how many of you can imagine how an artist feels after a concert or performance - standing in front of his audience and listening to thunderous applause? Perhaps he is not only feeling this applause with his ears. Perhaps he takes a standing ovation with all his body and soul. We have a good group and each of you deserves a round of applause. I want to play a game with you, during which the applause sounds softly at first, and then gets stronger and stronger. Join the general circle, I'm starting.
The teacher approaches one of the children. Looks into his eyes and gives his applause, clapping his hands with all his might. Then, together with this child, the teacher chooses the next one, who also receives his portion of applause, then the troika chooses the next applicant for the standing ovation. Each time the one who was applauded chooses the next one, the game continues until the last participant in the game receives applause from the whole group.
GAMES FOR LEARNING EFFECTIVE WAYS OF COMMUNICATION
"Ask for a toy"
Target: development of communication skills.
Game progress ... The group of children is divided into pairs, one of the participants in the pair (with a blue identification mark (flower)) picks up an object, for example, a toy, notebook, pencil, etc. The other (No. 2) should ask for this object. Instructions for participant # 1: “You are holding a toy that you really need, but your friend also needs it. He will ask you for her. Try to keep the toy with you and give it away only if you really want to do it. " Instructions for participant number 2: "Choosing the right words, try to ask for a toy so that they will give it to you." The participants then switch roles.
"Good friend"
Target : develop the skill of building friendships.
Game progress ... To carry out the game, you will need paper, a pencil, felt-tip pens for each child.
The teacher invites children to think about their own good friend and clarifies that this can be a real person or you can just imagine him. Then the following questions are discussed: “What do you think of this person? What do you love to do together? What does your friend look like? What do you like the most about him? What are you doing to make your friendship stronger? »The educator suggests drawing the answers to these questions on paper.
Further discussion:
How does a person find a friend?
Why are good friends so important in life?
Do you have a friend in the group?
Game "I like you"
Target : development of communication skills and good relationships between children.
Game progress ... To play the game, you will need a ball of colored wool. At the request of the teacher, children sit in a common circle.
Educator. Guys, let's put together one big colored web that connects us to each other. When we weave it, each of us can express his kind thoughts and feelings that he has for his peers. So, wrap the free end of the woolen thread twice around your palm and roll the ball towards one of the guys, accompanying your movement with the words: “Lena (Dima, Masha)! I like you because ... (it's a lot of fun to play different games with you). "
Lena, having listened to the words addressed to her, wraps the thread around her palm so that the "web" is more or less stretched. After that, Lena must think and decide to whom to transfer the ball further. Passing it to Dima, she also says kind words: “Dima! I like you because I found my bow, which I lost yesterday. " And so the game continues until all the children are entangled in the "web". The last child who received the ball begins to wind it in the opposite direction, while each child winds his part of the thread on the ball and pronounces the words spoken to him and the name of the person who said, giving the ball back to him.
Further discussion:
Is it easy to say nice things to other children?
Who said anything nice to you before this game?
Are the children friendly in the group?
Why is every child worthy of love?
Anything about this game that surprised you?

"King"
Target: to form adequate self-esteem in children, to instill new forms of behavior.
The course of the game.
Educator. Guys, how many of you ever dreamed of becoming a king? What are the benefits of becoming king? And what kind of troubles can it bring? Do you know how a good king is different from an evil one?
After ascertaining the opinion of the children, the teacher invites them to play a game in which everyone can visit the king for five minutes. With the help of a rhyme, the first participant is selected in the role of the king, the rest of the children become his servants and must do everything that the king orders. Naturally, the king does not have the right to give such orders that may offend or offend other children, but he can order, for example, that the servants bow to him, give him drink, be on his "parcels", etc. When the king's orders are fulfilled, by counting, another performer of the role is selected; during the game, 2-3 children can visit the role of the king. When the reign of the last king ends, the teacher conducts a conversation in which he discusses with the children their experience in the game.
Further discussion:
How did you feel when you were king?
What did you like the most about this role?
Was it easy for you to give orders to other children?
How did you feel when you were a servant?
Was it easy for you to fulfill the king's wishes?
When Vova (Yegor) was king, was he a good or an evil king for you?
How far can a good king go in his desires?
CONFLICT REMOVAL GAMES
Main tasks:
Reorienting behavior through role play.
Formation of adequate norms of behavior.
Relief of tension in children.
Moral education.
Regulation of behavior in a team and expansion of the child's behavioral repertoire.
Teaching acceptable ways to express anger.
Practicing response skills in conflict situations.
Relaxation training.
Sketches: "Carlson", "A Very Thin Child". Games: "Who Came", "Blots", "Guess what's hidden?", "What has changed?", "Guess who we are?" "," Who is behind whom "," Sly "
In these sketches and games, the teacher can simulate a conflict situation, and then analyze the conflict together with the children.
If there is a quarrel or fight in the group, you can make out this situation in a circle by inviting your favorite literary heroes known to children, for example, Dunno and Donut. In front of the children, the guests act out a quarrel similar to the one that happened in the group, and then ask the children to reconcile them. Children offer different ways to get out of the conflict. You can divide the heroes and guys into two groups, one of which speaks on behalf of Dunno, the other on behalf of Donut. Children can be given the opportunity to choose for themselves whose position they would like to take and whose interests to defend. What would be the specific form of conducting role play was not chosen, it is important that ultimately children will acquire the ability to take the position of another person, recognize his feelings and experiences, learn how to behave in difficult life situations. A general discussion of the problem will contribute to the rallying of the children's team and the establishment of a favorable psychological climate in the group.
During such discussions, you can act out other situations that most often cause conflicts in the team: how to react if a friend does not give you the toy you need, what to do if you are teased; what to do if you were pushed and you fell, etc. Purposeful and patient work in this direction will help the child with greater understanding of the feelings of others and learn to himself adequately relate to what is happening.
In addition, you can invite children to organize a theater, ask them to act out certain situations, for example, "How Malvina had a falling out with Buratino." However, before showing any scene, children should discuss why the heroes of the fairy tale behaved in one way or another. It is necessary that they try to put themselves in the place of fairy-tale characters and answer the questions: "What did Buratino feel when Malvina put him in the closet?", "What did Malvina feel when she had to punish Buratino?" - and etc.
Such conversations will help children realize how important it is to be in the shoes of a rival or abuser in order to understand why he did this and not otherwise.
"Argument"
Target: teach children to analyze actions, find the cause of the conflict; differentiate opposite emotional experiences: friendliness and hostility. To acquaint children with constructive ways of solving conflict situations, as well as to promote their assimilation and use in behavior.
Game progress ... The game requires a "magic plate" and a picture of two girls.
Educator (draws the attention of children to the "magic plate", at the bottom of which there is a picture with the image of two girls). Children, I want to introduce you to two friends: Olya and Lena. But look at the expressions on their faces! What do you think happened?
Quarreled
We had a fight with a friend
And sat down in the corners.
It's very boring without each other!
We need to make peace.
I did not offend her -
I only held the bear
Only with a bear ran away
And she said: "I won't give it up!"
Issues for discussion:
Think and say: why did the girls quarrel? (Because of the toy);
Have you ever had a fight with your friends? Because of which?
And what do those who quarrel feel?
Can you do without quarrels?
Think how girls can make up? After listening to the answers, the teacher offers one of the ways of reconciliation - the author ended this story like this:
I’ll give her a bear, I’ll apologize, I’ll give her a ball, I’ll give her a tram and I’ll say: "Let's play!"
(A. Kuznetsova)
The teacher focuses on the fact that the culprit of the quarrel must be able to admit his guilt.
"Reconciliation"
Target : teach children a non-violent way to resolve conflict situations.
The course of the game.
Educator. In life, people often try to solve their problems on the principle of "eye for an eye, eye for an eye". When someone offends us, we respond with an even stronger offense. If someone threatens us, we also react with a threat and thereby intensify our conflicts. In many cases, it is much more useful to take a step back, admit your share of responsibility for the occurrence of a quarrel or fight, and shake hands with each other as a sign of reconciliation.
Filya and Piggy (toys) will help us in this game. One of you will speak in the words of Fili, and the other - Piggy. Now you will try to act out a scene of a quarrel between Filia and Piggy, for example, because of the book that Phil brought to the group. (Children act out a quarrel between television characters, showing resentment and anger.) Well, now Filya and Piggy are not friends, they are sitting in different angles rooms and don't talk to each other. Guys, let's help them make up. Suggest how this can be done. (Children offer options: sit next to them, give the book to the owner, etc.) Yes, guys, you're right. In this situation, you can do without a fight with a book. I suggest you act out the scene differently. Piggy needs to invite Philly to look at the book together or in turn, and not to pull it out of his hands, or to offer something of his own for a while - a typewriter, a set of pencils, etc. (The children act out the scene differently.) And now Filya and Piggy must make up, ask each other for forgiveness for having offended each other, and let them shake hands with each other as a sign of reconciliation.
Questions for discussion with children in roles:
Was it difficult for you to forgive the other? How did you feel about it?
What happens when you get angry with someone?
Do you think forgiveness is a sign of strength or a sign of weakness?
Why is it so important to forgive others?
"Rug of the world"
Target: teach children strategies for negotiation and discussion in resolving conflicts in a group. The very presence of a "rug of peace" in the group encourages children to abandon fights, arguments and tears, replacing them with discussing the problem with each other.
Game progress ... To play, you need a piece of thin blanket or fabric measuring 90 x 150 cm or a soft rug of the same size, felt-tip pens, glue, sequins, beads, colored buttons, everything you may need to decorate the decoration.
Educator. Guys, tell me, what do you argue with each other sometimes? Which of the guys do you argue with more often than others? How do you feel after such an argument? What do you think can happen if different opinions clash in a dispute? Today I brought for all of us a piece of fabric that will become our "rug of the world." As soon as a dispute arises, the "opponents" can sit down on it and talk to each other in such a way as to find a peaceful solution to their problem. Let's see what happens. (The teacher puts a cloth in the center of the room, and on it - a beautiful picture book or an amusing toy.) Imagine that Katya and Sveta want to take this toy to play, but she is one, and there are two of them. They will both sit on the "rug of peace", and I will sit next to them to help them when they want to discuss and resolve this problem. None of them have the right to take a toy just like that. (Children take a place on the carpet.) Maybe some of the children have a suggestion on how this situation could be resolved?
After a few minutes of discussion, the teacher asks the children to decorate a piece of fabric: “Now we can turn this piece into a“ rug of peace ”for our group. I will write the names of all the children on it, and you must help me decorate it. "
This process is very important, because thanks to it, children symbolically make the "rug of the world" a part of their lives. Whenever a dispute breaks out, they can use it to resolve the problem that has arisen, to discuss it. The Peace Rug must be used exclusively for this purpose. When children get used to this ritual, they will begin to use the "peace rug" without the help of a teacher, and this is very important, because. independent decision problems is the main goal of this strategy. The Peace Mat will give children inner confidence and peace, and will also help them concentrate their energies on finding mutually beneficial solutions to problems. It is a great symbol of rejection of verbal or physical aggression.
Issues for discussion:
Why is the "rug of the world" so important to us?
What happens when the stronger wins the argument?
Why is it unacceptable to use violence in a dispute?
What do you mean by justice?
POEMS - PEACES
Target: increase motivation for peaceful resolution of conflicts in the group, create a ritual for ending the conflict
1. Make up - make up, don't fight anymore.
If you fight-
I will bite!
And nothing to do with biting,
I will fight with bricks!
We don't need a brick
Let's make friends with you!
2. Handle by handle
We will take it tight
We used to fight
And now, no matter how much!
3. We will not quarrel.
We will be friends
We will not forget the oath
As long as we live!
4. Enough for us to be angry,
Everyone is having fun!
Hurry up, let's put up:
You're my friend!
And I am your friend!
We will forget all the insults
And be friends, as we will be before!
5. I reconcile, reconcile, reconcile,
And I don't fight anymore.
Well, if I fight, -
I'll find myself in a dirty puddle!
6. Let's put up with you
And share everything.
And who will not put up-
Let's not get along with that!
7. To make the sun smile,
They tried to warm you and me,
You just need to be kind
And put up with us soon!
8. Peace, peace forever,
You can't fight anymore
Otherwise, grandmother will come
And he pounds on the pope!
9. Than to swear and tease
Better we put up with you!
Let's smile together
Songs to sing and dance
Swimming in the lake in summer
And pick strawberries
Ice skating in winter
Bab to sculpt, play snowballs,
Divide sweets for two
All problems and secrets.
It's very boring to live in a quarrel,
Because - let's be friends!
WORKING WITH SENSES
"Connoisseurs of the senses"
Ask your child how much he knows about feelings. If it seems to him that there is a lot, invite him to play such a game. It will be a competition for sentiment connoisseurs. Take the ball and start passing it in a circle (you can play together with the child or invite other family members to participate, which will be not only interesting, but also indicative in terms of their knowledge and interest in the inner world).
The one who has the ball in his hands must name one emotion (positive or negative) and pass the ball to the next. It is impossible to repeat what has been said before. Anyone who cannot give an answer leaves the game. The rest is the greatest connoisseur of feelings in your family! You can set some kind of prize for him, for example, the most delicious piece of cake at dinner (or some other family pleasure).
To make the game more useful, and the child's loss was not offensive, warn that this is the first round, and after a while the game can be repeated, and the prize will be even better. This will create a mood in the child for memorizing the named words, which will help him to win in the future.
"Guess how I felt?"
If you have already played (and more than once) the previous game, then for sure your child already knows the names of at least the basic emotions. But this does not mean that he correctly understands their essence. This game will help you check this (and, if necessary, correct it). It has two main roles: the driver and the player (there can be several players).
The driver must make some kind of feeling, remember the story when this feeling arose in him, or come up with a story about someone else experiencing a similar state. At the same time, he must tell his story so as not to accidentally name the feeling itself. You need to end the story with the sentence: "Then I felt ..." - and pause. Then the player tries to guess what a person could feel when in such a situation.
It is better to make short stories, for example: “I came from the store once, laid out the groceries and realized that there was no oil among them. Probably, I forgot it on the counter when I put everything in a bag. I looked at the clock - the store was already closing. I wanted to fry potatoes! Then I felt ... "(The most accurate answer in this example is" annoyance ", but there may be other emotions - sadness or anger at myself.)
Note. It is better for an adult to start driving, showing the children by example what stories can be (not too long and not very complicated). If the child guessed the feeling of the character, about which in question, then you can invite him to become a driver and come up with his own story. Listen carefully to these stories - perhaps, in a normal conversation, the child would not have told about his hidden feelings!
"Land of feelings"
Now that the child knows the names of emotions and what sensations are behind them, you can move on to visual images of feelings and the use of creativity in working with them.
Remember with your child again what feelings you know. Write the names of the emotions you come across on separate sheets of paper. Now invite your child to imagine what these "inhabitants of the inner world" look like? Have him draw a portrait of each on the sheet with the appropriate title. The process of creating such images is very interesting and revealing. Pay attention to how the child imagines certain feelings, how he explains his choice. The following addition to the painted portrait can be especially informative. Invite a young artist to depict what the house of each feeling looks like and what things are stored in it. Perhaps in the new images you will see something similar to the life of the child himself.
Note. The resulting portraits are best decorated in some way. You can create a "gallery of feelings" of them by hanging them on the wall, you can make an art album by joining the sheets together and making a cover. The main thing is not to throw them away and do not let them roll around anywhere. After all, these are the "inhabitants of the inner world" of your son or daughter, and only for this reason they deserve respect and dignified treatment, and children are very sensitive to such manifestations of parental attention! The work on creating such an album or gallery is best done in several stages (especially with small children), making such activities systematic and starting new portraits on sheets with an inscription made on the first day of this long game.
"Feelings on stage"
This game is similar to the game "Anger on the Stage", only there can be as many roles as there are feelings. So there is where to roam the director's fantasy!
It is better to make this game, like the previous one, systematically repeated. Offer to play it when you see that the child is really experiencing some kind of emotion. For example, when he is happy, invite him to tell and portray what his joy would look like on stage.
Note. Imagine with your child by asking additional questions such as "What would a dance of joy be like?" If a boy or girl wants to perform it, you will probably need your help in choosing the musical accompaniment for this creative process! Therefore, the collection of your audio tapes or discs should contain melodies with a wide variety of emotional content (from despair and anxiety to joy and pride).
Stories from photographs
This game is the next step in the emotional development of a child, a bridge from his interest and attention to his own inner world to understanding other people's emotions and empathy.
In order to start playing, you will need any pictures of people that reflect their mood. They are easy to find by flipping through some magazines or looking at reproductions of paintings. Show your child one of these photos and ask them to identify how the person in the photo is feeling. Then ask why he thinks so - have the child try to express in words what external signs of emotion he drew attention to. You can also invite him to fantasize by thinking about what events in the life of the photographed man or woman preceded this moment.
Note. In this game, it would be good to use photos from your family album, since after the child's fictional story, you could tell him what exactly happened before the shooting, and thereby acquaint him with the elements of family history, making it possible to feel "involved" in family events and the experiences of relatives. However, it will be interesting and useful to use your personal photos for this game only if they really reflect different moods, and not standard smiles for the camera.
"Dictionary kind words"
Aggressive children often suffer from poor vocabulary, as a result of which, even when communicating with people they like, they often use habitual rude expressions. Language not only reflects our inner world, but can also influence it: along with the appearance good words our attention is focused on those pleasant qualities and phenomena that they denote.
Create a special dictionary with your child. In it, alphabetically, you will write various adjectives, participles and nouns that can describe the character or appearance of a person, that is, answer the question of what a person can be. At the same time, an important restriction must be observed - all words must be kind, polite, suitable for describing pleasant (or neutral) qualities in people. So, with the letter "B" you can write both words describing appearance: "blond", "dark-haired", "white-skinned", "blond", etc., and words related to the description of character: "disinterested", "thrifty", "noble", "defenseless", "trouble-free", etc., or describing human activities in some area: "flawless", "impeccable", "brilliant", etc. If words like "stupid" or "chatterbox", then discuss with him that such words are also in Russian, and we use them, but are they pleasant, he would like to hear them addressed to him! If not, then they have no place in the dictionary of kind words.
Note. As you probably understand, it is not enough to compose such a dictionary with your child and, putting it on the shelf, wait for him to speak, using such a rich vocabulary. In order for all these words to really begin to be used by children in ordinary speech, it is necessary to carry out systematic work. For this purpose, firstly, it is good to "refresh" words in memory. To do this, you can either use the version of the game "Word - step" (when the player can take a step forward, naming the quality of a person in a certain letter), or from time to time ask the child questions that contain definitions of some property, but do not name it (for example: “How can you name a person who cannot stand up for himself and does not feel safe?” Answer: “Defenseless.”). Second, you need to take care of the practice of using new words in your son or daughter's everyday speech. To do this, try to discuss with him more often the heroes of films and books, analyze their actions, motives, deciding what character traits they testify to. Of course, here you will have to use not only positive characteristics, but try to show the child that even in the very negative hero(like real person) you can find some good traits that deserve respect.
"The blind man and the guide"
This game will give the child the experience of trusting others, and this is what aggressive children usually lack. It takes two people to start the game. One of them will be blind - he is blindfolded. The second - his guide, trying to carefully and carefully move the blind person across the road with busy traffic.
You will create this "movement" in advance by placing chairs and other things in the room in such a way that they interfere with freely moving from one side of the room to the other. If there are still people willing to take part in the game, they can create "barricades" from their bodies, spreading their arms and legs and freezing anywhere in the room.
The task of the guide is to carefully transfer the blind person to the other "side of the highway" (where is the place, agree in advance), protecting him from collisions with various obstacles. After the task is completed, discuss with the child whether it was easy for him as a blind person, whether he trusted the guide, his care and skill, what feelings he experienced. Next time, let him try himself in the role of a guide - this will teach him care and attention to another person.
It can be difficult for children to explain with a "blind" person, since phrases like: "Now put your foot here" - they do not say anything to him. Usually the child realizes this after some time and his communication with the "blind" next time will be more effective, so it is useful to carry out such games more than once.
Note. In this game, the "guide" can contact the "blind" in different ways: talk about what needs to be done, or simply lead him along, raising the "blind" leg to the required height in order to step over the obstacle. You can alternate these options by introducing a ban on one of them, thus training the mastery of either verbal (speech) or non-verbal means of communication. If your "blind" strives to go all the way on his own, ignoring the help of the guide, then in the next round try to worsen his orientation in space by placing obstacles in a different way and spinning the child in place after he has been blindfolded.
"Pilot and dispatcher"
Find out from the child how he imagines the actions of the pilot on the plane: with the help of what does he orientate himself in space? How to avoid collisions with other planes? What is it relied on if visibility is poor? Thus, you will inevitably come to a discussion of the dispatcher's work. It is not difficult to give sad examples from life when the wrong actions of the pilot, the inattention of the controller or simply their inconsistency in work led to a disaster. Therefore, it is very important to trust another person and follow his recommendations if that person has more information than you have at the moment.
At first, the role of the pilot will be played by a child. If you blindfold him, it means the plane is in poor visibility. Now the young pilot will have to completely entrust his well-being to the dispatcher, that is, you (or another family member who plays this role). As in the previous game, place various obstacles in the room. Place the pilot in the center. The controller must be at a sufficient distance from him and control the actions of the aircraft "from the ground", that is, exclusively with words. So he can give step-by-step instructions such as: "Turn a little to the right, take three small steps forward. So, move forward a little more. Stop." and so on. The pilot, following the instructions of the controller, must fly unimpeded through the room to the specified destination.
Note. This game is similar to the game "The Blind and the Guide", but it is somewhat more difficult to execute, because in addition to the child's trust in the second player, it involves the ability to wait, to be in the unknown for a while. That is, during the game your child will have to overcome his impulsiveness and learn to trust a person "at a distance", not feeling a "friendly shoulder" nearby and being guided only by verbal instructions. So if you assume that your son or daughter has difficulties with the development of these qualities, then you should not move on to this game without having mastered the previous one well.
"Portrait of an aggressive man"
The ability for adequate self-esteem and self-criticism, unfortunately, is not a well-developed quality in most children, especially in children prone to aggression. This play exercise will help them see themselves from the outside and become aware of their individual actions in a conflict situation and their style of behavior in general.
Ask the child to mentally imagine an aggressive person: how he looks, how he behaves, how he talks, how he walks. Now you can try to reflect these ideas on paper - have a child draw a portrait of an aggressive person. When the drawing is finished, talk about what is shown there. Why did the child draw the aggressive person in this way, what qualities did he want to emphasize in this portrait? Also ask what your son or daughter likes about the drawn person, for which you can respect him. And what, on the contrary, do you dislike, what would you like to change? Why is this little man aggressive? Ask how, in the child's opinion, the people around them treat aggressive people. How does he himself feel about them?
Now you need to move on to talking about the personality of the child himself. First of all, tell him that aggression is a normal human manifestation in certain situations when other methods of solving the problem are ineffective (it is better to immediately give examples of such situations or ask the child to do this). You can also discuss the fact that aggression has some manifestations that are not only not condemned by society, but even encouraged. Such manifestations include, for example, persistence in achieving goals and the ability to protect oneself and others.
Once your child has learned that aggression is not always a bad thing, you can expect him to acknowledge this quality in himself. Ask your son or daughter when he or she behaves aggressively towards others? Are there any circumstances in which he almost always behaves this way? Are there people who constantly evoke aggressive desires in a child? Pay close attention to these answers, they will contain "chronic problems" that need to be analyzed and will have to be systematically worked on. Try to discuss in detail the typical situations of anger and aggressive behavior in the child. How did your child feel at that moment? What did you think about? What did he want to do? What did he really do? What followed? Could you have done otherwise to avoid negative consequences?
Note. If you are not a judge in this conversation, but a sympathetic friend, then you will be able to expand the boundaries of the child's thinking and enrich his behavioral repertoire through the knowledge gleaned from your life experience. In order to make children want to behave differently, it is better to rely on such arguments as “did you achieve your goal?”, “Did the people around you understand what you felt and what you wanted?”, “Was your behavior effective? "," have your relationships with others improved? " or "good kids don't behave like that!"
"Understand without words"
Every adult knows by himself how annoying it is that others do not understand our thoughts and desires. Also, every adult guesses what is in this sad circumstance and the fault of the person himself - which means that he could not clearly explain this, was not persistent or resourceful enough to achieve this goal. But children often do not know about it. Due to children's egocentrism (when they consider themselves the center of the universe and measure the whole world by themselves), it is difficult for them to imagine that those around them really did not understand or misunderstood. Children rarely make an effort to be understood, but they often get offended and angry, evaluating the lack of understanding as "malicious intent."
Therefore, this game will be useful to everyone, since in it the child will need to be as intelligible as possible and constantly look for explanations of what was conceived to the rest of the players. In addition, he will also be in someone else's shoes, trying to understand the driver when they switch places.
So, in this game, the driver conceives a word (answering the question "who?" Or "what?"). After that, he should try to depict what the word means without uttering a sound. You can move, reproducing the situation in which a given thing is used, or freeze, trying to sculpturally depict a conceived word. The only thing that is prohibited in this game is to point to the object itself, even if it is nearby, and to pronounce words and sounds. The rest of the players try to guess the displayed word. When they have a version of what this means, they immediately say their answer. If he is wrong, then the driver shakes his head negatively. If the answer is correct, then the leader can speak again and joyfully demonstrates this by calling out loud the hidden word and inviting the person who called him to become the leader. If the player's answer is close in meaning, but not entirely accurate, then the presenter shows this with the help of a sign, which is agreed in advance, for example, by waving both hands in front of him.
Note. When your child becomes comfortable with these rules, you can complicate the game by guessing not one word, but a phrase containing the name of the object and its characteristics (for example, "fat cat"). Accordingly, guessing the answer will consist of two parts. First, the driver raises one finger up, which means the task of guessing the noun. When it has already been pronounced, the driver shows two fingers, which demonstrates to the participants that they are moving on to guess the adjective.
"Criticize without offending"
This game is a very important part of the program for working with an aggressive child, as it trains the ability to direct your discontent not to paper, sand or water, but directly to the one who caused negative emotions in the child. Of course, the form of manifestation of such dissatisfaction should be polite and not offend the person. The child should strive not to "hurt in revenge", but to achieve changes in the behavior of the other person so that he becomes comfortable with him again. In other words, you need to teach children constructive criticism, and this is a whole art. Therefore, do not expect everything at once, but start gradually working in this direction.
Prepare in advance a set of phrases that your child (or his classmates) is inclined to use to evaluate the manifestations of the other person. In this piggy bank you will have sentences like: "You are a fool", "Look where you are, cow!", "You will die of boredom!" and other phrases that cut the ear of an educated adult. You can record these rudeness and name-calling on separate leaflets... Now introduce the laws of correct criticism. These include:
-
criticize not the person as a whole, but his specific actions;
- talk about your feelings about what you don't like;
- suggest ways to solve the problem, if possible, then your help;
- show respect for the person, your belief that he can change;
- avoid words and intonations that can offend a person;
- do not order, but offer the person a choice.
If the child has learned the theory, start practicing. Take any piece of paper with an offensive phrase. Have the child suggest how to change her in such a way as to speak about her feelings and thoughts, but not offend the person. So, the phrase "You will die of boredom with you!" can turn into a sentence like: "You know, I'm already tired of collecting the mosaic. Let's take a walk or build a castle from a construction set" or "Personally, I'm not very interested in hearing about the same thing all day long. I'm sure you know many more interesting things. So maybe we can talk about something else or get busy? " Exactly what your child's answer will be depends on their age and what kind of situation they imagine.
Note. Adults will have to help the child at the first stage, since the speech development and thinking of children are still insufficient to give thoughts and feelings a different verbal form. So prepare in advance. At the same time, when offering your son or daughter some kind of polite option, think about whether such a wording corresponds to the age of the child and the peculiarities of speech of modern children. Otherwise, a situation may arise when your child will become a laughing stock, using too bookish or too adult sentences. Replacing the rude phrases that you offer him should harmoniously blend into his speech so that others do not have the feeling that your child is playing some role (for example, pupils of the Institute for Noble Maidens).
GAMES WITH AGGRESSIVE CHILDREN
"Gorse"
Target: relax the muscles of the lower face and hands.
You and your friend had a fight. A fight is about to begin. Inhale deeply, clench your jaws tightly. Fix your fingers in your fists, press your fingers into your palms until painful. Hold your breath for a few seconds. Think: maybe you shouldn't fight? Exhale and relax. Hooray! The troubles are over!
"Balloon"
Target: relieve stress, calm children.All players are standing or sitting in a circle. The presenter gives instructions: Imagine that now we are going to inflate balloons. Inhale the air, bring an imaginary balloon to your lips and, inflating your cheeks, slowly inflate it through your parted lips. Watch with your eyes how your ball gets bigger and bigger, how the patterns grow on it. Have you presented? I also presented your huge balls. Blow carefully so that the balloon does not burst. Now show them to each other. The exercise can be repeated 3 times.
"Icicle"
Target : relax arm muscles.
Guys, I want to ask you a riddle:
Under our roof
The white nail is hanging
The sun will rise,
The nail will fall. (V. Seliverstov)
That's right, it's an icicle. Let's pretend that we are artists and we are putting on a play for kids. The announcer (this is me) reads this riddle to them, and you will pretend to be icicles. When I read the first two lines, you breathe in and raise your arms above your head, and on the third, fourth, drop your relaxed arms down. So, we are rehearsing ... And now we are performing. It turned out great!
"Humpty Dumpty"
Target : relax the muscles of the arms, back and chest.
Let's put on another little show. It's called Humpty Dumpty.

Sat on the wall.
Humpty Dumpty
Fell down in a dream. (S. Marshak)
First, we will turn the body to the right and left, while the arms dangle freely, like a rag doll. On the words “fell in a dream” - we sharply tilt the body down.
"Blind dance"
Target : developing trust in each other, relieving excessive muscle tension.
Break into pairs. One of you gets a blindfold, he will be “blind”. The other will remain "seeing" and will be able to guide the "blind". Now join hands and dance with each other to light music (1-2 minutes). Now switch roles. Help your partner tie the bandage. As a preparatory step, you can place the children in pairs and ask them to hold hands. The one who sees, moves his hands to the music, and the blindfolded child tries to repeat these movements, without letting go of his hands, for 1-2 minutes. Then the children switch roles. If the anxious child refuses to close his eyes, calm him down and do not insist. Let him dance with open eyes.
As the child gets rid of anxiety states, you can start playing the game not while sitting, but moving around the room.
"Caterpillar"
Target : play teaches trust.
Almost always, partners are not visible, although they can be heard. The success of promoting all depends on the ability of each to coordinate their efforts with the actions of the rest of the participants. “Guys, now we will be one big caterpillar and we will all move around this room together. Line up in a chain, put your hands on the shoulders of the one in front. Between the belly of one player and the back of the other, squeeze Balloon or a ball. It is strictly forbidden to touch the balloon (ball) with your hands! The first participant in the chain holds his ball in outstretched arms.
Thus, in a single chain, but without the help of hands, you must follow a certain route. " For Onlookers: Pay attention to where the leaders are located, who is regulating the movement of the “living caterpillar.
"Magic chair"
Target : help to increase the child's self-esteem, improve relationships between children.
This game can be played with a group of children for a long time. Beforehand, an adult must learn the “history” of the name of each child - its origin, what it means. In addition, it is necessary to make a crown and a "Magic Chair" - it must be absolutely high. The adult conducts a short introductory conversation about the origin of the names, and then says that he will talk about the names of all the children in the group (the group should not be more than 5-6 people), and the names of anxious children are better called in the middle of the game. The one whose name is told becomes king. Throughout the story of his name, he sits on a throne in a crown. At the end of the game, you can invite the children to come up with different versions of his name (gentle, affectionate). You can also take turns to tell something good about the king.
"Callouts"
Target : remove verbal aggression, help children express anger in an acceptable form.
Tell the children the following: “Guys, passing the ball in a circle, let's call each other different offensive words (a condition is discussed in advance, what kind of names you can use. These can be the names of vegetables, fruits, mushrooms or furniture). Each appeal should begin with the words: "And you, ..., carrot!" Remember that this is a game, so we will not take offense at each other. In the final circle, you should definitely say something pleasant to your neighbor, for example: And you,…. Sun!"
The game is useful not only for aggressive, but also for touchy children. It should be carried out at a fast pace, warning the children that this is only a game and should not be offended at each other.
"Tukh-tibi-spirit"
Target: removal of negative moods and restoration of strength.
I will give you a secret word. This is a magic spell against bad mood, against resentment and disappointment. To make it really work, you need to do the following. Now you will start walking around the room without speaking to anyone. As soon as you want to talk, stop in front of one of the participants, look into his eyes and say the magic word three times, angrily and angrily: “Tukh-tibi-spirit”. Then continue walking around the room. From time to time, stop in front of someone and again utter this magic word angrily and angrily.
For the magic word to work, you need to say it not into emptiness, but looking into the eyes of the person standing in front of you.
There is a comical paradox in this game. Although children should utter the word “Tukh-tibi-spirit” angrily, after a while they cannot help but laugh.
"Ask for a toy"
Target: teach children effective ways to communicate.
The group is divided into pairs, one of the participants in the pair (participant 1) picks up an object, for example, a toy, notebook, pencil, etc. Another participant (participant 2) should ask for this object.

Try to keep the toy with you and only give it away if you really want to. ” Instructions for participant 2: “Choosing the right words, try to ask for a toy so that they will give it to you.” Then participants 1 and 2 switch roles.
" Eyes to eyes"
Target: develop a sense of empathy in children, tune in to a calm mood.
“Guys, join hands with your deskmate. Look each other only in the eyes and, feeling hands, try to silently convey different states: “I'm sad,” “I'm having fun, let's play,” “I'm angry,” “I don't want to talk to anyone,” etc.
After the game, discuss with the children which states were transmitted, which of them were easy to guess, and which were difficult.
GAMES WITH HYPERACTIVE CHILDREN

After that, the phrase is repeated again, but the children who get to say the word “cap” replace it with a gesture (for example, 2 light slaps with a palm on their head). The next time, 2 words are already replaced: the word “cap” and the word “mine” (point with your hand at yourself). In each subsequent circle, the players pronounce one word less, and “show” one more. In the final repetition, children depict the entire phrase only with gestures.

Ask: "Who are you, what is your name?", "What do you like to do?", "What do you not love?", "What are you?" If the child does not join the conversation, speak the dialogue yourself. It is important to emphasize that the hands are good, they can do a lot (list what exactly), but sometimes they do not obey their master. You need to end the game with the "conclusion of an agreement" between the hands and their owner. Let the hands promise that for 2-3 days (tonight or, in the case of working with hyperactive children, an even shorter period of time) they will try to do only good things: tinker, greet, play and will not offend anyone.
If the child agrees to such conditions, then after a predetermined period of time it is necessary to play this game again and conclude a contract for a longer period, praising the obedient hands and their owner.

« An hour of silence and an hour “ can”»
Target:give the child the opportunity to dump the accumulated energy, and the adult - to learn how to control his behavior.
Agree with the children that there will be an hour of silence in the group when they get tired or have an important task. Children should be quiet, play calmly, draw. But as a reward for this, sometimes they will have an hour of "can" when they are allowed to jump, shout, run, etc.
"Hours" can be alternated within one day, or you can arrange them on different days, as long as they become familiar in your group or class. It is better to stipulate in advance which specific actions are allowed and which are prohibited. With the help of this game, you can avoid the endless stream of remarks that an adult addresses to a hyperactive child (and he "does not hear" them).
« Pass the ball»
Target:remove excessive physical activity.
Sitting on chairs or standing in a circle, the players try to pass the ball to a neighbor as quickly as possible without dropping it.

« Siamese twins»
Target:teach children flexibility in communicating with each other, contribute to the emergence of trust between them.
Tell the children the following. “Divide into pairs, stand shoulder to shoulder, hug each other with one hand at the waist, place your right leg next to your partner's left leg. You are now conjoined twins: two heads, three legs, one torso, and two arms. Try to walk around the room, do something, lie down, stand up, draw, jump, clap your hands, etc. " In order for the "third" leg to act "amicably", it can be fastened with either a string or an elastic band. In addition, twins can "grow together" not only with their legs, but with their backs, heads, etc.
« Onlookers»
Target:development of voluntary attention, speed of reaction, learning the ability to control your body and follow instructions.
All the players walk in a circle holding hands. At the signal of the presenter (this can be the sound of a bell, rattles, clap of hands or some word), the children stop, clap their hands 4 times, turn and walk in the other direction. Those who did not have time to complete the task are eliminated from the game. The game can be played with music or a group song. In this case, children should clap their hands when they hear a certain word in the song (agreed in advance).
« Listen to the command»
Target:development of attention, arbitrary behavior.
The music sounds calm, but not too slow. Children walk in a column one after another. Suddenly the music stops. Everyone stops, listens to the presenter's whispered command (for example, "Put your right hand on your neighbor's shoulder") and immediately execute it. Then the music plays again, and everyone continues to walk. Commands are given only to perform calm movements. The game is played until the group is able to listen well and complete the task. The game will help the teacher to change the rhythm of the actions of the naughty children, and the children - to calm down and easily switch to another, calmer type of activity.
"Arrange posts"
Target:development of volitional regulation skills, the ability to concentrate on a specific signal.
Children march to music one after another. Ahead is the commander, who chooses the direction of movement. As soon as the commander claps his hands, the last child walking must stop immediately. Everyone else continues to march and listen to the commands. Thus, the commander arranges all the children in the order he intended (in a line, in a circle, in corners, etc.). Children must move silently to hear commands.
« The king said ...»
Target:switching attention from one type of activity to another, overcoming motor automatisms.
All participants in the game, together with the leader, stand in a circle. The presenter says that he will show different movements (physical, dance, comic), and the players should repeat them only if he adds the words "The King said." Whoever makes a mistake, goes to the middle of the circle and performs some task of the participants in the game, for example, smile, jump on one leg, etc. Instead of the words "The king said" you can add others, for example, "Please" or "The commander ordered."
« Forbidden traffic»
Target: Playing with clear rules organizes, disciplines children, unites the players, develops quick reactions and induces healthy emotional uplift.
Children are facing the presenter. To the music, with the beginning of each measure, they repeat the movements shown by the presenter. Then one movement is selected that cannot be performed. Anyone who repeats the prohibited move is out of the game. Instead of showing movement, you can say numbers aloud. The participants in the game repeat in chorus all the numbers, except for one prohibited, for example, the number "five". When the children hear it, they will have to clap their hands (or spin in place).
« Listen to the claps»
Target: training attention and control of motor activity.
Everyone walks in a circle or moves around the room in a free direction. When the presenter claps their hands once, the children should stop and take the stork pose (standing on one leg, arms out to the sides) or some other pose. If the leader slaps twice, the players should take a frog pose (sit down, heels together, toes and knees to the sides, hands between the soles of the feet on the floor). With three claps, the players resume walking.
« Freeze»
Target: development of attention and memory.
Children jump to the beat of the music (legs to the sides - together, accompanying the jumps with claps over their heads and on the hips). Suddenly the music cuts off. The players should freeze in the position in which the music stopped. If one of the participants did not succeed, he is eliminated from the game. Music sounds again - the rest continue to perform the movements. They play until only one player remains in the circle.
« Let's say hello»
Target:removal of muscle tension, switching attention.
At the signal of the presenter, children begin to move randomly around the room and greet everyone who meets on their way (or it is possible that one of the children will specifically try to say hello to the one who usually does not pay attention to him). You need to greet in a certain way:
- 1 clap - shake hands;
- 2 claps - say hello with your shoulders;
- 3 claps - say hello to the backs.
The variety of tactile sensations accompanying this game will give the generative child the opportunity to feel his body and relieve muscle tension. Changing playmates can help relieve feelings of alienation. For completeness of tactile sensations, it is advisable to prohibit conversations during this game.
« Fun bell game»
Target:development of auditory perception.
Everyone sits in a circle, at the request of the group, a driver is selected, however, if there are no people willing to drive, then the role of the driver is assigned to the coach. The driver is blindfolded, and the bell is passed in a circle, the driver's task is to catch the person with the bell. You cannot toss the bell to each other.
RELAXATION TECHNIQUES
FOR PRESCHOOLERS
Relaxation exercises are best done with calm music. Doing these exercises regularly makes the child calmer, more balanced, and also allows the child to better understand his feelings. As a result, the child controls himself, controls his destructive emotions and actions. Relaxation exercises allow the child to master the skills of self-regulation and maintain a more even emotional state.
"Snow Woman"
You can make a small game out of this exercise while rolling imaginary snowballs across the floor. Then, together with the child, you sculpt a snowman.
So, “we blinded a snow woman in the yard. A beautiful snow woman turned out (you need to ask the child to portray a dream woman). She has a head, a torso, two arms that stick out slightly to the sides, and she stands on two strong legs ... At night a cold-cold wind blew, and our woman began to freeze. First, her head froze (ask the child to strain his head and neck), then her shoulders (strain her shoulders), then her torso (the child strains his torso). And the wind is blowing more and more, wants to destroy the dream. babu. Rested sn. a woman with her legs (she strains her legs a lot), and the wind did not manage to destroy the sn. babu. The wind flew away, morning came, the sun looked out, saw a snowman, decided to warm it up. The sun began to bake, and our woman began to melt. First, the head began to melt (the child lowers his head freely), then the shoulders (relaxes and lowers the shoulders), then the arms (gently lowers the arms), then the torso (the child, as if settling, bends forward), and then the legs (the legs gently bend into knees). The child first sits down, then lies down on the floor. The sun warms, the snow woman melts and turns into a puddle, spreads over the ground. "
Orange
The child lies on his back, his head is slightly to one side, arms and legs are slightly apart to the sides. Ask the child to imagine that an orange has rolled up to his right hand, let him take the orange in his hand and begin to squeeze juice out of it (the hand should be clenched into a fist and very tense for 8 - 10 seconds).
"Open the fist, roll the orange, the handle is warm ..., soft ..., resting ..." Then the orange rolled to his left hand. And the same procedure is repeated with the left hand. It is advisable to do the exercise 2 times (while changing the fruits)
« Move the stone "
The child lies on his back. Ask him to imagine that there is a huge, heavy stone near his right leg. You need to firmly rest your right leg (foot) on this stone and try to at least slightly move it from its place. To do this, slightly raise the leg and strain it strongly (8 - 12 sec.) Then the leg returns to its original position; "The leg is warm ..., soft ..., resting ...". Then the same is done with the left leg.
"Turtle»
The exercise is done lying down, preferably on the side or stomach. Ask your child to imagine that he is a small turtle lying on yellow sand (or soft grass) near a transparent stream (river, lake or sea - at the request of the child).

Everyone needs to know!
First aid for stress for teachers
Take 10 minutes of your time to rest and relax. During this time, nothing terrible will happen. In this short period of time, it is important to try to forget about your chores around the house. Such rest at the end of the day is essential. After it, household problems are solved with a fresh mind, and much less nervous and physical energy is spent.
And you are again full of strength and energy!
Against stressful breathing
Take a deep breath slowly through your nose; at the peak of inhalation, hold your breath for a moment, then exhale through your nose as slowly as possible. This is a soothing breath. Try to imagine that with each deep breath and extended exhale, you are relieving some of the stressful tension.
One minute relaxation.
Relax the corners of your mouth, moisturize your lips (let your tongue lie freely in your mouth). Relax your shoulders. Focus on your facial expressions and body position: remember that they reflect your emotions, thoughts, inner state. It is only natural that you do not want those around you to know about your stressful condition. In this case, you can change your "face and body language" by relaxing your muscles and breathing deeply (with an especially long exhalation).
Inventory
Take a look around and take a close look at the room in which you are. Slowly, without haste, mentally find 7 red objects in the room in which you are, "sort out" all the objects one by one. Try to focus completely on this "inventory". Mentally say to yourself: "Red notebook cover, red curtains, red flower vase," etc. Focusing on each a separate subject, you will be distracted from internal stressful tension, directing your attention to the rational perception of the environment. You can find and examine objects on any basis.
A change of scenery
If circumstances permit, leave the area in which you are experiencing acute stress. Move to another, where no one is, or go outside, where you can be alone with your thoughts.
Relaxation
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, bend forward and relax. The head, shoulders and arms hang down freely. Breathing is free. Fix this position for 1-2 minutes, then slowly - attention: very slowly! - Raise your head (so that it does not spin).
Abstraction
Engage in some activity - no matter what: start washing clothes, washing dishes, or cleaning. The secret of this method is simple: any activity, and especially physical labor, plays the role of a lightning rod in a stressful situation - it helps to distract from internal stress, "let off steam".
Music
Play some soothing music that you love. Try to listen to it, concentrate on it and only on it (local concentration). Remember that concentration on one thing contributes to complete relaxation, evokes positive emotions.
Communication
Have a conversation about some abstract topic with any person nearby: a neighbor, a workmate. If no one is around, call your friend or girlfriend. This is a kind of distracting activity that is carried out "here and now" and is designed to displace from your consciousness internal dialogue full of stress.
Mobilizing breath- an extended deep breath (4 sec.), A pause of half-breath duration (2 sec.), A short, loud, vigorous exhalation (2 sec.). The duration of the inhalation is approximately twice as long as the exhalation.
Calming breath- a slow deep breath through the nose, a pause of half an inhalation, exhalation lasting 2 breaths.
You need to learn how to mobilize and calm yourself with the help of breathing in any situation and environment. Usually, the effect is already given by 4 breaths. The number of such measures is determined individually, taking into account the fitness level and state in a particular situation.

Psychological games for children
A game for young children is not only fun and fun. Kids spend most of their time in games, for them this is the main activity. While playing, the child first of all develops and learns the whole world around him. That is why a caring parent and competent teacher can often use psychological games in raising a child.
The teacher himself determines what each particular game should be aimed at. Whether it will be the development of memory, reaction, ingenuity, attention, imagination, emotion or ear for music. Also, psychological play can reveal a bright leader in the children's team, as well as unite the team. This is very important in newly created kindergarten groups. A parent can help your baby overcome shyness and develop self-confidence. A clear plus of such a game is that while having fun and playing with pleasure, the child does not even understand that the upbringing process is going on at the moment.
The teacher must select games very carefully and competently, relying on the experience of professionals. It is for this purpose that a website has been created where professional psychologists and educators share their invaluable developments.
When working with preschoolers, much attention should be paid to the social and moral development of children. The site contains original games for working with basic emotional states, creativity, the development of the skills of a benevolent attitude towards each other and the emotional perception of works of art. For these purposes, educators often use hand-made auxiliary materials and manuals.

Thus, at the end, the ball returns to the leader. Everyone sees the threads connecting the participants in the game into one whole, determines what the figure looks like, learns a lot about each other, rallies.

"Mousetrap"
This game is designed to increase the child's self-confidence, develop imagination, and also learn to overcome obstacles presented by fate, because the goal of the game is to find a way out and a way to get out of the "mousetrap".
The child should be placed in a circle of 5-6 people who are firmly pressed against each other. This circle is a "mousetrap", and the child in the center must look for a way out of it, in all possible ways: he can persuade someone to skip it, or he can independently look for the presence of some loophole.
"Shepherd"
The goal pursued by this game is to increase the child's self-esteem, who is given the opportunity to lead other children, which subsequently leads to an increase in self-esteem.

"Shepherd" is given into the hands musical instrument, for example, a pipe, and all other participants are blindfolded - they play the role of "sheep". The "sheep" walk in a circle, and the "shepherd" with the help of a pipe calls them to him, if at the same time someone gets lost, the shepherd starts to play louder. When all the "sheep" are assembled, you can choose a new "shepherd" and continue the game.
Games aimed at reducing the aggressiveness of children
"Angry cat"
Children are invited to form a large circle, in the center of which there is a sports hoop on the floor - this is a "magic circle" in which transformations will take place.
The child enters the hoop and at the signal of the presenter (for example, clap his hands, ringing a bell, sound of a whistle) turns into a feisty, contemptuous cat: hisses and scratches. At the same time, one cannot leave the "magic circle". Children standing around the hoop repeat in chorus after the presenter: "Stronger, stronger, stronger ..." - and the child, depicting a cat, makes more and more "evil" movements.
On a repeated signal from the leader, the "transformation" ends, after which another child enters the hoop and the game is repeated.
When all the children visit the "magic circle", the hoop is removed, the children are divided into pairs and again turn into angryosche at the signal of an adult. The categorical rule: do not touch each other! If it is violated, the game immediately stops, the presenter shows an example of possible actions, and then continues the game.
On a repeated signal, the "cats" stop and can exchange pairs.
At the final stage, the presenter invites "evil cats" to become kind and affectionate. At the signal, children turn into kind cats that caress each other. You can't touch each other either.
"Karate player"
The game is aimed at removing physical aggression.
As in the previous game, the children stand in a circle with a hoop in the center. Only this time in the "magic circle" "there is a transformation into a karateka.
As before, the children shout: "" Stronger .... "" - helping this player to throw out aggressive energy with the most intense actions.
"Boxer"
This is a variant of the game "Karate player", and it is carried out in the same way, but the actions in the hoop can only be performed with hands. Fast, strong movements are encouraged.
"Crybaby"
The game is aimed at overcoming stubbornness and negativism.
Children standing in a circle take turns showing a capricious child (you can wear a hoop). Everyone helps with the words "" stronger, stronger .... "", then the children are divided into pairs "parent" and "child": the child is capricious, the parent persuades him and calms him down. Each player must be in the role of a capricious child and in the role of a persuasive parent.
Practice showsthat if we organize a regular course of play activities for children, then each child gradually improves the quality of the exercises. At the same time, his emotional state in real life becomes more stable and positive.
"Little Ghost"
Target : teach in an acceptable form to "throw out" the anger accumulated in an aggressive child.
""Guys! Now we are going to play the role of good little ghosts. We wanted to play a little hooligan and scare each other a little. According to my clap, you will make such a movement with your hands (the teacher raises his arms bent at the elbows, fingers are spread out) and utter the sound "U" in a terrible voice, if I clap quietly, you will quietly say "U", if I I will clap loudly, you will scare loudly. But remember that we are kind ghosts and want to joke a little "". Then the teacher claps his hands. “Well done! Joked enough. Let's be children again. "
"Centipede"

It is necessary to explain that being hit by a "snowball" can be a little painful, but in this way you can become a brave, strong, courageous winner.
"Gnomes"
Play fosters feelings of empathy, compassion, and a desire to help.
For the game you need bells according to the number of participants (5-6 pieces). One bell must be broken (not ringing).
An adult invites children to play gnomes. Each gnome has a magic bell, and when it rings, the gnome acquires magical power - he can make any wish that will ever come true. Children receive bells (one of them gets the spoiled one). “Let's hear how your bells are ringing! Each of you in turn will ring your bells and make your wish, and we will listen. " Children in a circle ring their bells, but suddenly it turns out that one of them is silent. "What to do? Kolya's bell does not ring! This is such a misfortune for a gnome! Now he will not be able to make a wish for himself ... Maybe we will cheer him up? Or will we give you something instead of a bell? Or will we try to fulfill his desire? (Children offer their solutions.) Maybe someone will give up their bell for a while so that Kolya can ring them and make his wish? "
Usually, one of the children offers his own bell, for which, naturally, he receives the gratitude of a friend and the approval of an adult.
"Yes and no"
The game is aimed at relieving the state of apathy and fatigue in children, at stimulating their vitality. The great thing about this game is that it only uses one voice.
Divide into pairs and stand in front of each other. Now you will have an imaginary battle with words. Decide which of you will say "yes" and who will say "no." Your entire argument will consist of just these two words. Then you will change them. You can start them very quietly, gradually increasing their volume until one of you decides that there is nowhere to be louder. When you hear the signal from the leader (for example, a bell), stop, take a few deep breaths. Pay attention to how pleasant it is to be in silence after such noise and din.
Play can be especially useful for those children who have not yet discovered their own voice as an important way to assert themselves in life.
"Tukh-tibi - spirit" (K. Fobel)
This game is another recipe for relieving negative moods and restoring strength in the head, body and heart. There is a comical paradox in this ritual. Although children should utter the word "tukh-tibi-spirit" angrily, after a while they cannot help but laugh.
I will now give you a special word. This is a magic spell against bad mood, against resentment and disappointment, against anything that spoils the mood. For this word to really work, you need to do the following. Start walking around the room without speaking to anyone.
As soon as you want to talk, stop in front of one of the children and say the magic word: "Tukh-tibi-spirit!" After that, continue walking around the room. From time to time, stop in front of someone and again utter this magic word angrily and angrily.
For the magic word to really work, you need to say it not into emptiness, but to a certain person standing in front of you.

Psychological game for children "TROECHKA"

An error is considered to be the error itself and the failure of the rhythm. In case of an error, everything is reset and starts all over again ("One") with this participant in any direction in a circle.

The host asks: "What's the matter with you?"
The player comes up with any answer related to the cactus (for example: "I ate a cactus, but it is bitter" or "I stepped on a cactus").

Cheerful music sounds, children walk around the room and pretend to be bear cubs - waddle, pretend to pick berries, sing songs.
At this time, the presenter chooses one player and, when the music stops, announces that he is the eldest 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 leader appoints another leader. The game goes on until everyone has been in this 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 others. At the end of the game, the facilitator explains why the winner was able to complete the task better than the others. Allows children to learn how to respond quickly to a task and organize their actions correctly. It can be done quite often, changing cubs to kittens, chickens, elephants, etc.
Psychological game "Far, far, in a dense forest ..."
The game is for preschoolers. At this age, leadership qualities are manifested quite clearly, 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 presenter explains the rules: the phrase “far, far away, in a dense forest ... who?” Is pronounced. One of the players answers, for example: "foxes". If several answers are pronounced at the same time, the presenter does not accept them and repeats the phrase again. Sometimes it is difficult for the players to decide who should answer, but the presenter should not interfere and let the guys figure it out for themselves.
When the only answer is received, the presenter says the following phrase: "Far, far away, in a dense forest, foxes ... what are they doing?" Answers are accepted according to the same rules.
You can play this game for a long time until you get bored. Or - when the first phrase is long enough, you can start over. The only condition: all phrases should begin the same: "Far, far away, in a dense forest ..."
It usually happens that one or more players answer the most. It is worth paying attention to them - they are the ones who have the most developed leadership abilities.
Psychological game "Shipwreck"
The game is for preschool and school children.
The host announces: “We were sailing in a big ship, and it ran aground. Then he got up strong wind, the ship ran aground, 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 is most actively involved in the discussion, defends his opinion.
As a result of the discussion, the players tell the presenter their way out of the situation, and he tells them what came of it. Naturally, the result must be successful.
