“organization of a board games center in a preschool educational institution”
Board Games Center.
The leading activity of a preschooler is play; with the help of it, the child learns about the world around him. It is generally accepted that a gaming deficit negatively affects the development of a child’s personality. A preschooler spends a significant part of his time in kindergarten among his peers, under the supervision of teachers.
Purpose
the creation of a board games center is the organization of an object-based gaming environment for the effective intellectual development of a child’s personality in a preschool educational institution. A special requirement is placed on the subject-game environment (what it reflects), since the environment is the main means of development of the child’s personality and the source of his knowledge and social experience. The nature of the game, the actions that the child performs, his feelings, and experiences largely depend on this.
A didactic game is a multifaceted, complex pedagogical phenomenon: it is a gaming method of teaching preschool children, a form of education, an independent gaming activity, and a means of comprehensive education of a child’s personality.
The general principle of activity inherent in didactic games opens up wide opportunities for solving didactic problems of different levels of complexity: from the simplest (assemble a pyramid with three single-color rings, put together a picture of two parts) to the most complex (assemble a Kremlin tower, a flowering tree from mosaic elements ).
Didactic games are:
- games with objects;
- desktop-printed;
- verbal;
- games with objects.
Environmental variability suggests:
− the presence in the group of various spaces (for play, construction, privacy, etc.), as well as a variety of materials, games, toys and equipment, ensuring the free choice of children;
− periodic change of play material, the emergence of new objects that stimulate the play, motor, cognitive and research activity of children.
Availability of the environment assumes:
— accessibility for pupils, including children with disabilities and children with disabilities, of all premises where educational activities are carried out;
− free access for children, including children with disabilities, to games, toys, materials, and aids that provide all basic types of children’s activities;
− serviceability and safety of materials and equipment.
The safety of a developing subject-spatial environment presupposes that all its elements comply with the requirements for ensuring the reliability and safety of their use.
As a study of practice shows, many teachers believe that the main thing in a kindergarten group is the creation of so-called “visual beauty and fullness.” With this approach to organizing the group environment, its content side and such a principle as ensuring the developmental influence of the environment on a preschool child are completely neutralized. The placement of materials should be functional, not display: it should be convenient for the child to take them and move them from place to place. The static, display “beauty” of the interior with toys and aids placed on the shelves of cabinets, often inaccessible to children, must give way to functional “beauty.” Materials should be stored in convenient and practical containers (plastic, cardboard, wooden boxes, baskets, etc.) with bright labels to make selection easier. When organizing a play space, complex, multifaceted and highly creative activities of teachers are required. After all, a variety of toys is not the main condition for the development of a child. The created aesthetic environment evokes in children a feeling of joy, an emotionally positive attitude towards kindergarten, a desire to attend it, enriches them with new impressions and knowledge, encourages active creative activity, and promotes the intellectual development of preschool children. When creating a playing space, you must:
− get rid of cluttering the space with low-functional and incompatible objects;
− create three object spaces for the child that correspond to the scale of the actions of his hands (scale “eye - hand”), growth and the object world of adults;
− proceed from the ergonomic requirements for life: the anthropometric, physiological and psychological characteristics of the inhabitant of this environment. Transformable furniture has recently become increasingly popular, allowing you to expand the playing space in accordance with the tasks performed. The play space of a group room is an integral part of a holistic educational environment. The development of a child depends on the subject environment to the same extent as on the adults raising him.
Didactic game as a gaming method of teaching
is considered in two types: games - activities and didactic (autodidactic) games. In the first case, the leading role belongs to the teacher, who, to increase children’s interest in the activity, uses a variety of gaming techniques, creates a gaming situation, introduces elements of competition, etc. the use of various components of gaming activity is combined with questions, instructions, explanations, and demonstration. With the help of games and activities, the teacher not only conveys certain knowledge, forms ideas, but also teaches children to play. The basis for children’s games are formulated ideas about the construction of a game plot, about various play actions with objects. It is important that conditions then be created for the transfer of this knowledge and ideas into independent, creative games, the proportion of which in a child’s life should be immeasurably greater than learning to play. Games are activities and therefore refer to the direct teaching of children using a variety of gaming techniques.
The didactic game is used in teaching children mathematics, their native language, familiarization with nature and the surrounding world, and in the development of sensory culture.
Didactic game as a form of teaching children
contains two principles: educational (cognitive) and gaming (entertaining). The teacher is both a teacher and a participant in the game. He teaches and plays, and children play and learn.
Didactic game as an independent gaming activity
based on awareness of this process. Independent play activity is carried out only if children show interest in the game, its rules and actions, if these rules have been learned by them. Children love games that are familiar to them and enjoy playing them. This can be confirmed by folk games, the rules of which are known to children (“Colors”, “We won’t tell you where we were, but we’ll show you what we did”, etc.). For example, in the game “Paints”, children need to choose any color of paint. Children usually choose their favorite and fabulous colors: gold, silver. Having chosen a color, the child approaches the driver and whispers the name of the paint in his ear. “Jump along the path on one leg,” says the driver to the one who named the color of the paint, which not one of the players chose. There are so many interesting play activities for children.
That's why children always play such games. The teacher’s task is to ensure that the children play independently, that they always have such games in stock, that they themselves can organize them, and be not only participants and fans, but also fair judges. The teacher takes care of complicating the games and expanding their variability. If the children’s interest in the game wanes (and this applies mostly to board and printed games), it is necessary to come up with more complex rules with them. Independent play activities do not exclude control by an adult. The participation of an adult is indirect; the teacher can be an equal participant in the game. Thus, in games, in addition to the formation of independence and activity of children, an atmosphere of trust is established between children and the teacher, between the children themselves, mutual understanding, an atmosphere based on respect for the child’s personality, attention to his inner world, to the experiences that he experiences during the game . This is the essence of collaborative pedagogy. In kindergarten, conditions must be created for a variety of games that ensure the comprehensive development of each child.
