New Year's games

Are your children waiting for Santa Claus? Let's check how ready they are for the New Year. Do they know how to properly decorate a Christmas tree? What does Santa Claus look like? I offer you games that will help you and your kids have fun.

Each game should have a leader (adult) who asks the children questions. The more children you gather, the more fun the game is. But it is quite possible to play with one child.

Game "Yes or no"

The presenter begins:

The guys and I will play an interesting game:
what they hang on the Christmas tree, I will call it for the kids.
If I say everything correctly, say “Yes!” in response.
Well, if it’s suddenly wrong, say boldly: “No!”
Are you ready? Let's begin!

Educator. Children, try to guess the riddle about this tree.

Autumn, winter and summer

Her outfit is green

Like a hedgehog's needles,

The needles stick out on the branches.

What tree are we talking about in the riddle? (Children answer.) That's right, it's spruce. One Christmas tree is just a tree, but if many Christmas trees grow nearby, then what is it? (Forest.) What is the name of a forest in which there are many Christmas trees? (Elnik.) Let's play a game. I will name the tree and throw the ball to the players. The one who catches it will tell you the name of the forest in which the named trees grow.

Didactic game “Name the forest.”

The teacher calls in turns, the children answer: oak - oak grove, pine - pine forest, willow - willow forest, aspen - aspen forest, birch - birch grove etc.

Educator. In the spruce forest there are squirrels, they build their nests and feed on the seeds of cones. In February, in the very cold of winter, crossbill birds hatch their chicks in spruce forests.

Educator. The spruce tree with cones that hang on it like toys looks very beautiful. And in winter, when fluffy snow lies on the coniferous paws, the tree becomes like a beauty from a fairy tale.

It’s spring now, remember, we recently watched our spruce tree, what amazing changes did you notice in its appearance? (The children answer that they noticed pink cones appearing at the ends of the spruce branches).

Educator. Now look, does the Christmas tree have cones now? (The children say that there are none.) Where did they go? ( The children explain that young green “paws” took their place.) That's right, now you can clearly see the old paws - they are dark, and the young ones - light.

Children, together with the teacher, examine the spruce paws and determine where the old ones are and where the young ones are.

Educator. What animal can a Christmas tree be compared to? (With a hedgehog, a porcupine). What trees does it look like? (For pine and cedar.)

How is spruce similar to pine and cedar? (All these trees have needles instead of leaves, only pine and cedar have long needles, and spruce has short ones). Even in the Ussuri taiga there grows a tree very similar to a Christmas tree - this is a fir. If you look at them, you won’t immediately understand where the spruce is and where the fir is. But if you look closely and touch the trees, you will see that the fir trunk is smooth, grayish, and the needles are soft. But spruce has prickly needles, the trunk is brown, rough, and sparse needles grow on it. Now look at our beautiful Christmas tree again, remember what it looks like today.

Fir

Educator. Guys, why do we love the Christmas tree? (The children explain that this is a useful tree - a dining room for birds and animals. Cones grow on it - food for them. It is customary to decorate the spruce in people’s homes for the New Year.) The New Year is still far away, but despite this, I suggest you sing for our Christmas tree the New Year's song “Christmas tree, Christmas tree - forest scent” from the cartoon “New Year's Tale” (words: I. Shaferan, music: O. Feltsman).

Outdoor game “Fir trees and birches”

The players listen carefully to the leader and follow his commands. At the “Christmas tree” teacher’s signal, the children lower their arms down, spread their hands slightly to the sides and spin in place around themselves. At the signal “birch trees” - they unite in pairs, hold hands, dance in a round dance and sing “We stood in a round dance around the birch tree, raised our bright handkerchiefs high” or “There was a birch tree in the field.”

Over the course of many years of working with OHP children, I have observed the impact game on the child’s mental development; in play, the child learns material that is not entirely accessible to him. Game activates active mental abilities, develops speech, arouses interest and lifts the child’s mood. And most importantly, children willingly facilitate the process of acquiring knowledge.

I present to your attention the game “ Mysterious Christmas tree”

Target didactic game:

Fixing the names of numbers, identifying them in a picture. Development of thinking.

Process games:

The child is offered “ herringbone". He takes a card with a hidden number, identifies it and looks for the corresponding branch Christmas trees. Explains why he did it. And so on with all the other branches. At the end of laying out the cards, the child turns them over. If the task is completed correctly, you get a mosaic picture.

The child takes a card with a picture and determines the number. On the branches Christmas trees looks for a picture that matches the picture on the card.

After filling all the branches of the Christmas tree, the child begins to turn over the pictures.

If the task is completed correctly, then the child sees a whole picture of the elements.

The result of the game. The child’s joy is great, and the benefits are priceless.

Thank you for your attention
