While playing, the child first of all develops and learns the whole the world... 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 in children's team a bright leader, 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 this game is that while having fun and playing with pleasure, the child does not even understand what is this moment there is a process of education.

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.

Psychological games and exercises with preschoolers

Psychological games for preschoolers

"Cacti grow in the desert"

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

"Cacti grow in the desert, cacti grow in the desert ..." The presenter stands in the center of the circle, sometimes turns. Suddenly, one of the players jumps out of the circle and shouts: "Oops!" He must do this so that the leader does not see him at that moment, and the players next 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 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").

After that, the player goes back to the circle, and others can jump out. The most important condition is not to repeat yourself when answering the host's question.

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

"Cubs for a walk"

First, the presenter says: “You are all little bears, you are walking in the meadow and picking sweet strawberries. One of you is the oldest, he watches over all the others. "

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.

The Walking Bears game allows children to learn how to react quickly to a 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 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.

"Shipwreck"

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 everything possible outputs from her. 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. The presenter must not allow a “split” among the players, that is, that one half of the children will choose one option, and the other half will choose the other.

"Fire brigade"

At the beginning of the game, a leader is selected. The rest of the players are the "fire brigade". The presenter must send them out to extinguish the "fire". Players have to run, fuss and do some kind of goofy action. The task of the presenter 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 leader's behavior on a five-point scale.

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

"Photographer"

At the beginning of the game, a presenter is selected - the "photographer". The presenter must take interesting "photographs", which means he needs to seat the rest of the guys at his discretion. The “photographer” will have to act quickly and clearly. To some of the participants in the game, he can offer the role of a teacher - therefore, he must take the appropriate posture. Someone can become a "policeman", someone an "actress", someone a "magician".

Each of the players gives his own assessment of the actions of the "photographer" on a five-point scale. Then the players change, another becomes the "photographer". The game continues until all the guys are in the role of the "photographer". And to make the game even more interesting, you can take a Polaroid and take snapshots.

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

"Along the main street with an orchestra"

The game helps children to get rid of negative emotions, as well as to present themselves as an important conductor of the orchestra. This exercise not only invigorates, but also creates a sense of cohesion. For the game, a cassette with a recording of perky and cheerful music is useful, which would be liked by children and evoke positive emotions in them.

All children should remember the conductor and the movements that he performs in the orchestra pit. All together need to stand in a common circle, imagine themselves as conductors and "conduct" an imaginary orchestra. All parts of the body should be involved: arms, legs, shoulders, palms ...

All children take their own color names. The presenter begins the game, saying the following text: “I was born as a gardener, I got really angry, I’m tired of all the flowers, except ...” and names one of the flowers chosen by the children. For example, “… except for a rose.” “Rose” should immediately respond: “Ouch!” “Rose” answers: “In love.” The same player or presenter asks: “With whom?” “Rose” answers, for example, “Into the violet.” Immediately, “Violet” should respond: “Oops!” etc. If you did not respond when you named your flower, or if you yourself "fell in love" with someone who is not here, then you have lost. The game starts over.

Nose, mouth ...

Usually an adult becomes the leader. Sit facing the children in a semicircle. Start the game by saying: "Nose, nose, nose, nose ...". At the same time, elongated forefinger touch your nose. Children should do the same. Suddenly change the word: "Nose, nose, mouth ...", but you should not touch your mouth, but another part of your head, for example, your forehead or ear. The task of the children is to touch the same part of the head as you, not the one you named. Anyone who makes a mistake more than 3 times is out of the game.

The player with the longest remaining in the game is considered the winner.

"Product base"

The leader is selected. He will be the "director of the product base". Another is the "store director". The rest of the players are “sellers”. The essence of the game is as follows - one “salesperson” comes to the “director of the product base” and asks him what products are in stock. The “base director” gives 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 cannot write down the name of the products, you can only memorize it. 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. The winners are those who get the most of them.

"Music and color"

The players sit in a semicircle. The presenter is located opposite. Children are given cardboard squares different colors and shades. The presenter puts on some kind of symphonic, orchestral or instrumental music for 2-3 minutes.

The players' task is to lift up a square painted in a color that, in their opinion, conveys the same mood as the music they hear. If one of the children raised a square that is sharply different in color from those raised by the rest, the presenter asks him to substantiate his opinion, and then continues the collective discussion.

The game will teach children to compare shades of color and colors of music and find a connection and difference between them. At the end of the game, you can ask the children to talk about colors and answer questions such as: what is this color, what does it look like, what music and instruments correspond to it?

"Clouds, white-maned horses"

This game can be played among your family members. You should choose a warm sunny day, when there are many different clouds in the sky, quickly passing by. The players should lie on their backs and, looking at the sky, choose one cloud for themselves. Then everyone should describe their cloud: tell what it looks like, what color it has, from whom it runs away (describe the rival cloud following it) and what mood it carries.

The one who composes the most picturesque story wins. To get the kids interested, the facilitator (parent) must be the first to lead by example.

"Know the hero"

The presenter chooses any children's fairy tale with a fairly simple and clear plot as the basis for the game. For preschool children, you need to choose a fairy tale in which there are not very many characters and the main characters are unambiguous, that is, they are positive or negative.

The participants of the game sit in one common circle. The presenter expressively reads the whole tale aloud. After that, he asks the players in turn to characterize each character (hero) of the tale, arguing his answer, backing up with examples. The child should try to answer why he thinks so.

Then, when all opinions have been expressed, a general discussion can take place. The task of the game is not to identify the winner, it is important to teach each child to adequately and correctly assess the actions of the heroes, because children can apply their knowledge to real people.

"Who wears glasses?"

Children often worry if they have to wear glasses. This game aims to help them get rid of this complex. It is advisable to prepare for the game in advance. To do this, you need to find in magazines, newspapers, photographs of various famous and not so famous people who wear glasses.

Also, for the game you need to pick up several pairs of glasses, you can use any - solar, for swimming or simply cut out of paper.

It is desirable that the presenter himself be wearing glasses. He invites the children to try to choose glasses for their taste from those that are available. Each player puts on some kind of glasses. The game consists in the fact that first the presenter shows photographs of famous people wearing glasses, then invites everyone to say something good about the choice of glasses.

The participants in the game take turns expressing their opinions. It can be anything you like. We can say that wearing glasses is stylish, especially if they are beautiful and fashionable, or that wearing glasses is convenient, since everything is visible and no dust gets into the eyes. When everyone has expressed themselves in this way, the presenter chooses the author of the most meaningful speech. There are no winners or losers in the game, but the smartest one can be rewarded with some kind of prize. For this game, you can take a "Polaroid" so that everyone can take a picture with glasses as a keepsake.

Let's sing

You may not be a singer and not have a good voice, but at the same time feel free to sing in the presence of friends or acquaintances. Singing not only improves your mood, but also develops your voice. And this is very useful quality, it will be useful both in the classroom and in other cases. However, some children are embarrassed to sing. They are sure that they are extremely bad at it. And all because someone once told them that they would not succeed. This game helps to get rid of this complex.

Everyone should sing any song he likes: modern, romance, Russian folk. Or you can invent it yourself. If he is shy and cannot sing in full voice, the leader's task is to help him. In this case, he invites those present to sing this song in chorus. As a result, even the most timid guys will join the general singing. There are no winners or losers in the game, everyone has the right to show their singing skills.

Come up with a fairy tale

The presenter shows everyone a picture on which anything can be depicted, from an apple to a person, and the players take turns to compose a fairy tale about what is shown in the picture.

Who is more interesting?

The game is aimed at development creative imagination the child and his ability to establish logical connections.

The presenter pronounces any phrase with an unfinished thought, for example: "This morning I left the house ...". The second player immediately composes a sequel: "... and saw that a huge car was rushing towards me ..." Each player adds his own phrase and the result should be a story or a fairy tale.

The facilitator can give direction to this story at the beginning of the game, having decided on the outline of the plot. In this case, the players will choose their phrases, but in accordance with a predetermined beginning and end of the plot, however, an element of improvisation is not excluded.

The plot for a collective story can be both an ordinary story and fairy tale, a wonderful and fantastic story.

"What is bitter?"

As many children as possible should play in this game. The facilitator asks questions: “What is red? Bitter? Scary? Funny? Soft? " Questions can be very diverse, and the answers should be appropriate in meaning.

The rules can be complicated: for example, you can enter a time to think about the answer. The one who did not figure it out in time - leaves the game, and the one who gave the most answers wins. The words of the leader, with the help of which the phrases are composed, can be as follows: hard, liquid, rare, frequent, low, small, light, oblique, lively, full, even, light, dark, strong, strong ...

For older children who study in primary school, you can complicate the task. Let them come up with not only phrases, but also sentences with these words. They should express a complete idea and be competently and interestingly composed.

Fairy Apprentice

Even one child can play. With the help of his imagination, he imagines that he meets a fairy, who for some time becomes his patroness and protector. The fairy gives the child a magic wand (a thread, a needle, a ring ... that is, what the child will like the most of these objects) so that with the help of this object one can call for help at a dangerous moment.

Further events depend on the imagination of the child, who suggests different options and comes up with situations from which you can get out only with the help of a magic item. It can be a meeting with aliens, a formidable monster….

Interesting and entertaining stories invented by a child can be played out, which develops not only imagination, but also acting skills. The end of adventures (or misadventures), naturally, should be happy: good triumphs over evil. Roles in this game are not assigned to anyone specific, that is, the child imagines himself as who he wants to be most.

You can play on the street, in a room, on a table, behind a screen ... The only thing that an adult can offer a child before a game is a plan according to which approximate events are to develop, but an element of improvisation should be present in this game in any case, because only with with the help of the child's imagination, something can happen.

Approximate plan:

1. Meeting of a child and a fairy.

2. The fairy takes the hero to a fairytale and wonderful country.

3. Returning home.

This plan is conditional, you can change it in any direction.

"The elephant is angry"

The leader is selected. The rest of the kids should portray how angry the most different people, fairy-tale heroes or beasts. The presenter addresses each participant in the game: "Katya, show me how angry the elephant is?" Katya should depict how she imagines it. Thus, you can come up with a variety of plots - how angry a teacher, student, elephant, cat, mouse, etc. There are no winners or losers in the game. But the author of the most successful stories can be considered the winner.

Exercises for training anger and aggression management

A pebble in a shoe

Objectives: This game is a creative transposition of one of the rules of interaction in a team: "Problems - to the fore." In this game, we use a simple and understandable metaphor for children, with which they can communicate their difficulties as soon as they arise. From time to time, it makes sense to play Pebble in a Shoe as a group ritual to encourage even the most shy kids to talk about their worries and concerns. Encourage children to spontaneously use the ritual phrase "I have a pebble in my shoe!" whenever they experience any difficulties, when something bothers them, when they are angry with someone, when they are offended or for any other reason cannot concentrate their attention on the lesson.

Instructions: Please sit in one common circle. Can you tell me what happens when a pebble hits your boot? Perhaps, at first, this pebble does not interfere much, and you leave everything as it is. It may even happen that you forget about the unpleasant pebble and go to bed, and in the morning you put on your boot, forgetting to pull the pebble out of it. But after a while, you notice that your leg is hurting. In the end, this small pebble is already perceived as a fragment of a whole rock. Then you take off your shoes and shake it out of there. However, there may already be a wound on the leg, and a small problem becomes a big problem.

When we are angry, anxious or anxious about something, then at first it is perceived as a small pebble in a shoe. If we take care of getting it out of there in time, then the leg remains safe and sound, if not, then problems may arise, and considerable ones. Therefore, it is always useful for both adults and children to talk about their problems as soon as they notice them. If you tell us: "I have a pebble in my shoe," then we will all know that something is bothering you and we will be able to talk about it. I want you to think carefully now if there is something at the moment that would interfere with you. Then say: "I don't have a pebble in my shoe," or: "I have a pebble in my shoe. I don't like that Maxim (Petya, Katya) laughs at my glasses." Tell us what else is depressing you.

Let the children experiment with these two phrases depending on their condition. Then discuss the individual "pebbles" to be named.

Yes and no

Objectives: This game, like the previous one, is aimed at removing the state of apathy and fatigue in children, at awakening them vitality... The great thing about this game is that only the voice is involved. Therefore, the "Yes and No" game can be especially useful for those children who have not yet discovered their own voice as an important way of self-affirmation in life. A fake, playful argument refreshes the classroom climate and tends to relieve tension. When starting this game, keep in mind that there will be an eerie noise and din in the classroom for a while.

Materials: Small bell.

Instructions: Think for a moment how your voice usually sounds. Rather quiet, rather loud, rather medium?

Now you will need to use the full power of your 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 the word "yes" and who will say the word "no". Your entire argument will consist of just these two words. Then you will change them. You can start out very quietly, gradually increasing the volume until one of you decides that there is nowhere to be louder. Please listen to the bell I brought with me. When you hear his ringing, stop, take a few deep breaths. At the same time, pay attention to how pleasant it is to be in silence after such noise and din.

Learning to cooperate in games and exercises

Unexpected pictures

Objectives: "Unexpected Pictures" is an example of great teamwork for young children. During this game, they have the opportunity to see how each member of the group contributes to the overall drawing.

Materials: Every child needs paper and crayons.

Instructions: Sit in one common circle. Take a piece of paper each for yourself and sign your name with back side... Then start painting a picture. (2-3 minutes.)

At my command, stop drawing and transfer the started drawing to your neighbor on the left. Take the sheet that your neighbor on the right will give you and continue to draw the picture he started.

Give the children another 2-3 minutes to draw and ask them to hand over their drawing to the neighbor on the left again. In large groups, it will take a long time for all the drawings to complete a full circle. In such cases, stop the exercise after 8-10 shifts or ask to transfer the drawing through one.

You can liven up the game with music. As soon as the music stops, the children start changing patterns. At the end of the exercise, each child receives the picture that he began to draw.

Exercise analysis:

- Do you like the drawing that you started to draw?

- Did you like finishing other people's drawings?

- What drawing do you like the most?

- Are these drawings different from those that you usually draw? How?

Skyscraper

Objectives: The whole group participates in this game at once. In it, children can actively use both their motor skills and imagination and judgment.

Materials: One folding rule and two to three wooden cubes for each child. The task will be more difficult if the cubes are different sizes... There should be several wooden cylinders among them.

Instructions: Take two cubes each and sit in a circle on the floor. Now all of you together will need to build one skyscraper. I am very interested to know to what height you can erect it so that it does not fall apart. One of you can start building by placing one cube on the floor in the center. Then the next one comes up and places his cube next to or on top. Decide for yourself when you add one of your cubes. At the same time, you can talk to each other and think together how you will proceed next. I will count how many cubes you have added before the tower falls. Even if only one cube falls, you have to start all over again. In addition, from time to time I will measure how high the tower has already risen.

Measure the height of the resulting skyscraper from time to time. It would be nice if you could comment on the actions and strategies of the children. First of all, support everything that is aimed at cooperation of children with each other.

Exercise analysis:

- Did you like this game?

- Did you take offense at someone during the game?

Cardboard towers

Objectives: This is a very fun game in which the children try to interact with each other on their own in order to cope with a difficult task together. At the same time, they can create a really working team. There are two options for the game:

Non-verbal. In this case, children do not have the right to talk to each other during the assignment, but can only communicate without words.

Verbal. In this version, children can discuss the process of completing the assignment with each other.

The non-verbal version has the advantage of making children be more alert. Perhaps this version of the game will be more suitable for the first game, and after a while the game can be repeated verbally.

Materials: For each small group you need 20 sheets of colored cardboard for labor lessons measuring 6 X 10 cm (the color of the cardboard is different for each group), in addition to that, each group must have one tape of scotch tape.

Instructions: Divide into groups of six. Each group must build their own tower now. To do this, you will receive 20 sheets of cardboard and a roll of duct tape. Please don't use anything else in your work. You have exactly 10 minutes to build the tower. And now very important point- please do not talk to each other, find other ways to interact with each other.

Stop the game after exactly 10 minutes and ask each group to imagine their tower.

- Did your group have enough material?

- Did you want more material? Smaller?

- How did your group work?

- Which of the children in your group started construction?

- Did you have a presenter?

- Did all the children participate in the game?

- What was the mood in your group?

- How did you feel during the work?

- What was the most pleasant thing about your work?
