Can you play?

- Mom, will you play with me, " asks the child, clutching the hem of the skirt
Dear mother now once play himself into something. You have so many toys!




Sound familiar? Children's room is littered with dolls, cars, balls, drums, books, and designers, and the kid's still boring. Despite the rich children's imagination and an amazing ability to reproduce what they saw in the game. This is not surprising. The child needs, first, partner games, and secondly, in a more senior and experienced companion, able to teach him these games. The pre-school, kindergarten, lucky in this respect. There is a wise (or just experienced! ) educator and a whole group of people willing to play. And if the child is in the garden does not go, and stays at home with her mother, grandmother, nanny? Then on the shoulders of an adult shall be obliged not only to feed and walk your child, but also occasionally to play with it in roleplay.




A common opinion among adults that the child does not need to teach the game, is profoundly mistaken. If a child not to play, in most cases it will be primitive to act in a game situation. His life experience is still very limited, and the nature of the game most likely will be a simulation, not a role-playing character. That is, from a gun, the child will simply shoot the train to start, turn the machine on batteries. In simulation games no plot (or plot is very simple), there is only various manipulations with objects.




The development of the toy industry, which entailed the creation of automated and more sophisticated technically toys, oddly enough, only worsened the situation. Children are forced to act according to the logic of toys built into it by the manufacturer, leaving his imagination in the background. Therefore unobtrusive presence of an adult in the game is becoming more and more urgent.




The very first game that comes to mind when it comes to role-playing game is "mothers and Daughters". Girls are programmed this game is genetically. Seemingly, everything is easier. There's a certain toy, there are lots of attributes for the game: strollers, bottles, nipples, etc. All that remains is to use props to destination, repeating straightforward story every day until the game bored. But it is necessary to be creative, to play along a little child, and the story will grow new and interesting details. Encourage your daughter to be not only a mother, but a grandmother or older sister. You can play the role of friend's mom comes nurses or nannies. Can use several dolls ( brothers and sisters) at the same time or do without them ( playing the role of the child). Options can be a lot of. In addition, the game can be easily integrated learning moment. For example, cradling the doll, you read the poem:




Oh, Kachi-Kachi-Kachi,


What comes in the night?


In the swamp - breeze


In field - grey moth


In the sky stars and moon,


In our house -


Silence.


(I. Pivovarova)




And feed and clothe the pups under this "accompaniment":




I shirt stitched Teddy bear,


I will sew his pants.


We need to pocket sew


And candy to put.




On the stove cooked porridge.


Where our big spoon?


I told you before eating


Paw wash water.




Will tie you cloth -


Eat the cake, eat candy,


My milk dopey,


And go for a walk soon!


(H. Alexandrov)




After some time, the child will remember this poem without coercion. This way you can learn any poems, if only they were successfully integrated into the plot of the game.




Interesting additions you can make in the game with posadkoi. First, you can role-play different situations - the reception of guests, visiting a restaurant, Royal dinner, Banquet, President and t.d. Secondly, as toy products, you can use a variety of materials such as beans, peas, cereals (and the shuffling of small items is very useful for training fine motor skills), the purchase of plastic and wooden sets vegetables and fruits... And even the real food (if you want at the same time to kill two birds with one stone - to play and to feed something useful in his malaise). Thirdly, the game itself may include a variety of training points is a table setting, and the repetition of norms of etiquette, and unobtrusive learning new words and concepts. For example, my four-year-old son are actively studying English, inviting visitors Teddy bear-foreigner extremely picky about food. And when the game interferes with the youngest child, there comes a time in a joking manner to recall a story about a little pig, which does not recognise any of the rules of behavior at the table. And then the game without regret is transformed into the General merriment.




The game is in "Store" will also appeal to both girls and boys. The situation is familiar to children, and you only have a little to play along. And if you want to make didactic aspect, opportunities in this game is more than enough. This oral account (as money will come counters from table games), and classification (distribution by departments on the basis of the common characteristics of the subject), and the same foreign language, if your child is fascinated by it.




In General, children are easily taught in the game (in fact it is almost the only way of learning at this age). Yes and the game itself is in training can bring a lot of fun. With older preschoolers and useful, and fun to play "School". For this game only need chalk or magnetic Board and a mutual desire to play. To begin, enter your child in "theory", explain that at school all the kids sit at their desks and not jump up from their seats, the teacher referred to by name, middle name, and when you want to say something, raise your hand. Demonstrate, at least on the example of the clock, what is the school bell. Collect notebooks and books in his portfolio. And then it all depends on your creativity and intellectual abilities of the child. Just do not forget that this is not a real school, and just a game, so don't overdo it and better themselves often act as student.




With great pleasure your children will play in the "Hospital", "Doctor". For this game you can use ready-made toy tool set, and you can borrow some items from this kit. Empty bottles, enema, bandage, banks, aspirator, harness, syringes without needles - all this will be very useful in our game. Can also be used dolls and soft toys as patients. And can this role to serve you. The imagination in this game is unusually large. You can offer your child to see a pediatrician, a surgeon and veterinarian (along the way, "the doctor knows about the peculiarities of the profession), and a military doctor (by combining this game with your favorite boys ' war"), and Dr. Aibolit (staging a famous story Chukovsky). And you can use heavy equipment (bike or car-buggy) and to present himself as a doctor ambulance, rushing at full speed to unhappy patients.




Using home "transport" you can play "road" game, and at the same time to learn some rules of the road. The quality manual will come in handy purchase card (they are made in the form of a fan) or self-made. To do this, on three sheets of cardboard to draw a traffic light. On the first sheet with a bright red light, the second yellow, the third is green. Maybe you want to add to the gallery of characters and other cards, for example, "Parking prohibited", "entry", "pedestrian crossing" and so on, Now an adult must fulfill the role of "stand for characters". Don't forget to change the signs! The child at this time acts as a law-abiding driver. To diversify the game, you can receive a "pedestrian" (toys, household), "transport" or even "police".




What else can you play? In a petrol station, service station and car wash. In a flower shop, Barber shop and a pet store. In the tram, plane and train. In the submarine and space ship. In a large building or in a Large theatre. Yes on a desert island, finally. As you can see, in order to create role-playing game does not need any special conditions. You only need a small amount of pressure on ourselves to instead dismiss a child again, just say, "Well, let's play. And in what? "
