Games with words: children's fun or serious brain training? Corrective and developmental verbal game “Confusion”

A game for a large number of players. And the more players there are, the more interesting the game will be, no matter where it takes place: in the yard, at a summer camp, at a children's party or during a break at school.

Rules of the outdoor game Confusion

At the beginning, players choose a driver (“Granny” or “Mom”). If there are a lot of players, then there can be several drivers at once (about one driver for 8-10 players). The drivers leave the room (on the street they turn away or move away), and the players join hands, forming a chain in the form of a circle. Then they begin to tangle their chain. In this case, the chain can intersect itself, players can crawl or climb over the chain, intertwine their arms and even legs. One condition is that you cannot let go of your neighbor’s hands.

After the chain is entangled, the players call the drivers in chorus:

Confusion, confusion, unravel us!

Grandma, unravel the threads!

And also like this:

Dad got the thread mixed up
Mom, untie the knot!

The drivers return and begin to move the players, unraveling the chain. In this case, the main condition is the same: you cannot break your hands! If the drivers were able to untangle the players, restoring the circle and without breaking their hands, they won. If they were unable to unravel or if the chain was broken, the “confused” players won. Naturally, players should not throw their hands on purpose!

Tru-la-la

The players begin counting out loud from one to one hundred, taking turns calling the numbers. The players’ task is to say “tru-la-la” instead of numbers that are divisible by 7 or include the word “seven” in their name (you can come up with any other funny phrase; and instead of 7, choose another number, for example, 4). The one who makes a mistake is out of the game. The remaining participants start counting over again. You need to keep score quickly, then mistakes happen often, and the game turns out to be very fun. The winner is the one who has never made a mistake.

Earth, air, water, fire

An interesting word game for children for quick thinking. The participants of the game form a circle, in the middle of which the driver stands. He throws a ball or a balloon to the players in turn, naming one of the elements: earth, air, water or fire. If the driver said the word “Earth!”, then the one who caught the ball needs to quickly (while the driver counts to five) name some domestic or wild animal; to the word “Water!” the player answers with the name of a fish or aquatic animal; to the word “Air!” – the name of a bird (flying insect). At the word “Fire!” everyone should wave their hands. The one who makes a mistake or cannot name the animal is eliminated. You cannot repeat the names of animals, fish and birds.

Verbal volleyball

In this game, participants stand in a circle and throw a ball or balloon to each other. In this case, the player who throws calls any noun, and the one who catches the ball needs to name a verb that has a suitable meaning, for example: the sun is shining, the dog is barking, etc. If the player calls an inappropriate verb, he is eliminated from the game.

There is one answer to all questions

You need to prepare cards in advance with the names of various household items. These can be kitchen utensils, household appliances, household and other items, for example: a frying pan, a saucepan, a vacuum cleaner, an iron, a broom, a mop, etc.

The players sit in a circle. The presenter approaches each participant and offers to pull out a piece of paper with the name of the item from the hat (box). When everyone has sorted out the cards, the leader stands in the center of the circle and the game begins. The host asks the players in turn a wide variety of questions, and the players must answer these questions only with the names of the items they received on the cards (in addition, only prepositions are allowed). Rules: you need to answer questions very quickly, while the one talking with the host is prohibited from laughing, while the rest of the participants can deliberately make him laugh.

Options for questions and answers:

• What is your name? - Mop.
• What do you use to brush your teeth in the morning – a vacuum cleaner.
• What's the name of your hairstyle? - Washcloth.
• Who are your friends? - Frying pans.
• What do you have instead of eyes? - Spoons.

The main task of the presenter is to come up with questions whose answers involuntarily cause laughter both from specific players and from all other participants. The player who laughs is eliminated from the game. The most calm participant who knows how to restrain his emotions wins.

The answers are out of place

The essence of the game: any questions from the presenter must be answered very quickly, without hesitation, with any proposal that is not related to the question asked. For example, the presenter asks: “Isn’t it wonderful today?” The player needs to answer something like this: “I think today is Saturday.” If he makes a mistake or answers in monosyllables (for example, saying “yes”, “no”, “true” or “false”), he is eliminated from the game. One participant in the game cannot be asked more than three questions in a row. The presenter's task is to try to confuse the player. For example, he asks: “Isn’t it wonderful weather today?” The player replies: “I think today is Saturday.” Host: “Is it Saturday today?” Player: “I love going to the movies.” Host (quickly): “Do you like going to the movies? One, two...” Player playing by inertia: “Yes” - that’s it, he lost in the dialogue and is out!

Sausage

This simple, fun game that requires no additional props can be played while sitting at a table. A driver is selected and asks everyone in turn a variety of questions. The players’ task is to give the same answer: “sausage” or related words: “sausage”, “sausage”, etc. The main thing is to answer with the most serious face. The one who laughs first is out of the game. The winner is the player who fully copes with his emotions and does not succumb to the leader’s provocations. Laughter during the game is guaranteed!

Backwards

A fun outdoor game for children. The presenter tells the participants words denoting the names of the objects, and the players need to quickly find this object and hand it to the presenter. The difficulty lies in the fact that the presenter calls all the objects “backwards”, for example: cham, akzhol, agink, alkuk (ball, spoon, book, doll). Fun for kids guaranteed!

Will you go to the ball?

A fun word game for quick reaction for a small company. The essence of the game: participants are not allowed to laugh (or even smile!), or say the words “yes”, “no”, “black” and “white”. Anyone who violates these conditions gives the game host a phantom - any item he has, after which he is eliminated from the game. When there is no longer a single player left in the game, everyone who gave forfeits buys them back by completing fun tasks invented by the presenter.

The game begins with the presenter approaching each player in turn with the words: “The lady sent you a golik and a broom, and a hundred rubles of money, she told you not to laugh, not to smile, not to say “yes” and “no”, black and white not wear. Will you go to the ball?

Examples of possible dialogues with player errors:

• - Will you go to the ball?
• - I'll go.
• - Or maybe you’ll stay at home?
• — No, I'll go. Oh…

• — What color will your dress be? White?
• - Yellow.
• - Then the hat, of course, will be white?
• - Not white, and pink. Oh…

• —Will you go in a carriage?
• - Most likely, in the carriage
• — What will you wear to the ball?
• - Nice dress.
• - Black?
• - Blue.
• — Will it be sewn specially for this ball?
• - Certainly.
• - And you will be the most irresistible lady at the ball?
• - Necessarily.
• - And you will kiss everyone?
• — No! Oh…

During the game, the host tries to make the person answering laugh; in addition, he asks questions so that forbidden words are spoken as soon as possible, and the players pay for it with forfeits.

Martynova, teacher of a kindergarten intended for the development of social and communication skills in children, with the help of Russians folk tales. The structure of the material is provided by an explanatory note and the content of the activity. The novelty of the presented experience lies in the variety of game options presented.

The practical value of the material is that children: develop communication and interaction with adults and peers; development of social and emotional intelligence, emotional responsiveness, empathy, formation of readiness for joint activities with peers. In general, the submitted material meets the requirements submitted for the competition.

Explanatory note
“Games for preschoolers are a way of learning about their surroundings; games have great pedagogical value - they develop children’s ingenuity, endurance, self-control, sense of humor, and organization.” N.K. Krupskaya. “The fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it, a lesson for good fellows” - we have known these words since childhood. After all, a fairy tale not only entertains, but also unobtrusively educates, introduces the child to the world around him, good and evil. She is a universal teacher. Thanks to a fairy tale, a child learns about the world not only with his mind, but also with his heart. And he not only learns, but also responds to events and phenomena of the surrounding world, expresses his attitude towards good and evil. The first ideas about justice and injustice are drawn from the fairy tale. A fairy tale activates the child’s imagination, makes him empathize and internally contribute to the characters. As a result of this empathy, the child acquires not only new knowledge, but also, most importantly, a new emotional attitude towards the environment: people, objects, phenomena. Problem: More and more often, when children come to kindergarten, they bring from home not their favorite book, but their favorite DVD with cartoons. I once asked a child: “What book did he and his mother read at home yesterday?” The child thought about it, but he quickly remembered what cartoons he had watched. Relevance of the game: - assimilation of norms and values ​​accepted in society, including moral and ethical values; - development of communication and interaction of the child with adults and peers; - formation of independence, focus and self-regulation of one’s own actions;
- development of social and emotional intelligence, emotional responsiveness, empathy, formation of readiness for joint activities with peers; - formation of positive attitudes towards various types of work and creativity; - formation of the foundations of safe behavior in everyday life, society, and nature.

The game "Confusion" solves the same problem - replacing words in a sentence. However, it is presented without relying on living words. Before the game starts, the teacher reads an excerpt from K.I. Chukovsky’s poem “Confusion” (first part) and asks the children why this poem is called that. After the answers, he continues: “That’s right. The poem is called that because the animals got everything mixed up. But in reality, this doesn’t happen in life.

What is very important here is very skillful guidance on the part of the teacher, who makes sure that the children answer correctly and in a certain order, and helps them with questions:

• 1) What words need to be replaced to get the correct sentence?
• 2) What word do you want to replace?
• 3) What word will you replace it with?
• 4) What happened now?

These questions are repeated until a proposal is completed.

Children are usually actively involved in this game, but one difficulty is inevitable. While looking for a suitable word to replace, they at the same time must not lose sight of the answers of their comrades and take them into account. For example, children unravel the sentence “A green dog is flying.” One child replaces the word “flies” with the word “growls.” It turns out “The green dog growls.” It remains to replace the word “green” to get the correct sentence. But another child, engrossed in coming up with his own version of a word replacement, loses sight of the new sentence received and says the word “frog.” This does not unravel, but confuses the phrase again, since the sentence “The green frog growls” is obtained. The desire to definitely take part in the task, therefore, should not interfere with concentration. Everyone quickly selects a word and at the same time monitors the answers of their friends.

The teacher can offer a variety of confusions, but the number of words should not be three. At first, you can offer confusions consisting of two words or three, but those in which it is enough to replace one word to get the correct sentence.

A child's birthday is an important holiday for a child. The parent's task is to make it fun, exciting and unique. The main attribute of the holiday is games and competitions that allow children to get to know each other and overcome shyness. Birthday games for children should be active and alternate with calm ones so that the kids can relax.
