In the life of each parent, there are times when the baby is not able to entertain itself, therefore, by all possible means, clings to the adult, catches his attention, buzzes and interferes with important tasks. In his opinion, adult affairs are such boring things! It’s much more interesting to play, watch cartoons and read books. Oh, these kids! So you have to put things off and figure out what to play with the children so that the apartment does not turn into ruins of the count, and the cat was not found hanging from its tail on a clothesline. Therefore, below are a few ideas in the piggy bank game parenting.
All life is a game!
How quickly we forget that we ourselves were once children! The school system gradually wipes out the craving for fun children's games, offering not quite adequate replacements: success, recognition, good grades, a worthy future. But if you leave the game in your life, then you can easily save the whole palette of colors, which allows you to draw inspiration even when there is no strength, when the window is endless rain, and in the country - a protracted crisis. Fortunately, with the birth of our own children, we are given a second chance to remember the little child inside us and give him a little foolishness ...
Games for two-year-olds
You can play with a small newborn bag. Children of any age are eager to respond to gaming messages from the outside. But the most interesting for adults are children after two years. Everyone already understands, are open to everything new and are so cute in their desire to copy the behavior of adults. To play with a child of 2 years is not difficult at all. It is enough to put a constructor in front of him and show how the parts are connected, staying nearby to positively evaluate the first creative results of the work of small fingers. You can offer role-playing games to learn about certain professions or home-made simulators to study the basic shapes, colors, sizes.
Games with children of three years
Great age of disclosure of children's independence! What to play with a child of 3 years? He will show you and tell you what he is interested in at the moment. It can be modeling from plasticine every evening with the goal of independently creating "Lightning Mac Queen" according to my father’s example. Or a role-playing game in kindergarten, when all toys must be fed, planted on a pot and laid in the appropriate corners of the children's room. The main thing is not to interfere and, following the advice of J. Gippenreiter, help when asked.
Games with four year olds
What to play with children if they are already four? You can offer to make a clay labyrinth yourself and try it right there. To do this, stock up on a cardboard box lid, plasticine, a small iron machine and a magnet. The walls of the labyrinth are drawn on the lid, then plasticine walls line up along the outlined lines. The machine is placed at the beginning, and a magnet is attached to the bottom of the lid, moving it, you need to take the machine out of a difficult position.
Five Year Games
Playing with a child of 5 years old will not be difficult if you know and support the hobbies of your child. Is the kid an athlete? Then he needs to organize a platform from available means for the exit of physical activity. If the child is a creative person, then you should experiment with different materials and techniques, offering paints, plasticine, scissors, sewing. For example, children of five years old are already able to cut and make multi-layered 3D paper pictures, panoramas or plots with moving elements, where smoke is pouring from a steam pipe and hungry chicks protrude from a nest to meet their mother.
Games with six years
To play with a child of 6 years, it is better to focus on his hobbies. Games with them can also be in the nature of preparation for school: simple tasks, the first books for independent reading, the first rhyme weaving. The main thing is that children like these games and do not discourage their natural desire to learn and learn new things.
Home games
Is the weather bad or is there no mood for street gathering? You can always find entertaining classes in four walls. Parents can brainstorm in search of ideas on what to play with their children at home. Surely you have to choose at least three games that will captivate not only the younger members of the family, but also adults.
1. It is worth cooking with the child. If he is still small, then let her mom cut fruit salad. A couple drops of yogurt - and the whole family can try the baby’s first dish. If the child has already grown up from the usual training of fine motor skills, then it is necessary to organize the joint preparation of some pastries, which again will be pleasant to taste with a cup of tea. By the way, these can be curly cookies, for example, in the form of letters and numbers, which the preschooler will gladly sculpt himself.
2. You can organize a homemade twister by drawing colorful circles on a roll of old wallpaper. Or build an obstacle course from stools, a table, sofa cushions, buttons scattered on the floor and a sleeping cat. Who will pass all the obstacles cleanly and quietly without waking the animal will receive a prize candy.
3. A great time to create a home puppet or shadow theater. After all, you need to make a screen, and come up with a plot, and cut / glue / stitch characters. And then, on long winter evenings, arrange performances for family viewing.
Outdoor Games in Spring
The awakening of nature, puddles and drops, the singing of birds - the most inspiring setting for children's harmless pranks. But what you can play with the children:
1. It is imperative to make a small boat out of a walnut shell, providing it with a paper sail on an attached plasticine match. And it’s better to make a boat for mom and dad too. Then put on high rubber boots and go sailing along the longest puddle with rapids and unexpected turns of the channel. You can also practice breathing, helping the boat overcome an obstacle.
2. Early spring is ideal for churning icicles. Only as "bullets" should you choose safe material, for example, small buttons or boxes from kinder surprises. You can throw your hands or use a simple slingshot. In whose asset will be the most downed icicles, he is well done.
3. You can keep a calendar of the awakening of nature, every day to note how much the snow has melted and the trees have turned green. You can keep a weather diary with your child using the icons "sunny", "cloudy", "rain", "strong wind", etc.
Street summer games
But in the summer there is no question what game to play with the child! You don’t even have to take any gadgets with you: crayons, a spatula with a bucket for sand, a rope, a ball, but it’s more interesting with them.
1. You can draw small circles and walk on them as if on a road. Some circles can have a semantic load, for example, you need to jump on those shaded with red chalk, and clap your hands on shaded blue ones. In circles on the asphalt, you can throw pebbles, trying to get into the bullseye.
2. Fantasy game "The sea is worried once." So children will learn to feel the features of things, phenomena and living beings, portraying them according to dominant signs. For example, how to freeze in the form of a tree or a monkey? Very soon, adults will learn acting skills from their children.
3. You need to visit all the playgrounds in the area, learn to climb trees and swim in local rivers. After all, summer has been given to us in order to gain points in the immune basket of both a child and an adult.
Autumn can also be a game!
What to play with children in the fall, when slush and solid "September"? A creative approach to business will quickly transfer minor notes of mood to a more fun level. The main thing is to look for a game element in everything and compose interesting prehistories. For example, like this:
1. You can offer the child to choose the direction of the walk and the path to home. Or use the technique of inveterate travelers: stock up on small white pebbles and leave one on the road, then to return along them. You can draw a map of your trip, and even bury the treasure in order to find it in the spring.
2. Be sure to collect your treasury of natural materials, then from them you can come up with crafts in a kindergarten or just to decorate a home.
3. It's time to make bird feeders, and in the winter to put treats there. It’s worth attracting dad to the manufacturing process, because the bird’s kitchen should be strong and “survive” the winter cold without any problems.
Winter time is just for games
What games you can play with children in the winter, you will be prompted by a cheerful yard kid who arranges snow fights due to snow walls and builds dances of snowmen.
1. You can try to step footprint into footprint. Let the child step with his legs into the traces left by the adult. At the same time, an adult can fool around and experiment with a step width, either the seed is like a midget, then measuring the way by leaps and bounds. And it’s not necessary to make the track even, no one forbids wagging, circling and jumping: the more extraordinary the path, the more fun the game.
2. Slides! On the priest and on the pope, on the ice, on the sled, squatting. All possible downhill options should be tried.
3. Joint preparation for the New Year - you can plan the filling of the festive table, mold Christmas toys from salt dough, cut paper garlands. Of course, you need to draw patterns and winter paintings on the windows with tooth powder or stick paper stencils. Be sure to give gifts to all grandparents and friends, as well as write the best letter to Santa Claus.
Quiet bedtime games
The end of a gaming day full of impressions and pleasant emotions should also be entertaining. Only evening games are aimed not at the development of the child and the knowledge of the world, but at the pacification of the baby. Routine repetitive regimen moments, quiet conversations about the events approaching the end of the day, dreamy expectations from the day ahead, a pleasant fairy tale before bedtime - all this sets the child up for a calm wave. So, what to play with children before bedtime:
1. Together with the child, remember and count the good events of the day. Talk about what I liked most about the past day, and what I would like to change tomorrow.
2. You can put the toys in place with music, even at speed, but with the necessary stops: stop - they froze and catch their breath, and then again for cleaning. Try to put some toy differently, maybe the new place will be better than the previous one?
3. An adult can begin to tell a fairy tale, but the baby will continue. What interesting directorial finds can be gleaned from this joint fantasy work!
I would like to wish readers to make the game a part of their lives, but not the game that psychologists write about in the treatises on manipulations and techniques for managing people, but the children’s one, which makes the world a little more fun, a bit more interesting and a couple percent more magical.
