Sometimes it can be very difficult to explain some material to a child. And of course it’s even more difficult to explain it so that he remembers it. And here didactic games come to the aid of the teacher. They are used in the educational process from the very beginning of a child’s learning to draw. I bring to your attention examples of such games that I use in my work. 1. Game “Colored baskets”

The first game is used with very young children and is called “Colored Baskets”.
Purpose of the game: the game is aimed at learning colors by children 2.5-3.5 years old, memorizing the names of primary colors, developing the speech skills of preschoolers, developing observation and memory. Progress of the game: children are asked to collect mixed up objects in baskets, the child draws any card, but he must put it in a basket of the same color, while loudly calling out the color and the object he chose.

2. Game “Bottom of the Sea”

Purpose of the game: development of artistic composition skills, development of speech, logical thinking, memory. A very common game that can be used not only in art activities, but also in other educational areas. The children are shown the seabed (empty), and it must be said that all the sea inhabitants wanted to play “Hide and Seek” with us, and in order to find them we need to guess riddles about them. The one who guessed correctly puts the resident in the background. The result is a complete composition. The teacher motivates children to perform visual activities. (Good to use with middle and older groups). In the same way, you can study with children other themes of plot compositions: “Summer Meadow”, “Forest Dwellers”, “Autumn Harvest”, “Still Life with Tea”, etc. You can invite several children to the board and ask them to make different compositions from the same objects. This game develops intelligence, reaction, and compositional vision.

3. Game “Painted Horses”

When consolidating knowledge of folk paintings or when conducting monitoring in senior and preparatory groups, you can use this simple game.
Goal: to consolidate knowledge of the main motifs of Russian folk paintings (“Gzhel”, “Gorodets”, “Filimonovo”, “Dymka”), to consolidate the ability to distinguish them from others, to name them correctly, to develop a sense of color. Progress of the game: the child needs to determine in which clearing each of the horses will graze, and name the type of applied art based on which they are painted.

4. Game “Magic Landscape”

One of the most difficult topics is, of course, the study of perspective in a landscape - distant objects seem smaller, near ones larger.
It is also more convenient to use the game for this. Purpose of the game: to teach children to see and convey the properties of spatial perspective in drawings, to develop the eye, memory, and compositional skills. Progress of the game: The child needs to place trees and houses in pockets according to their size according to their perspective distance. (preparatory group).

. Game "Collect a landscape"

Using the example of a landscape, it is also convenient to develop a sense of composition and knowledge of natural phenomena.
To do this, it is convenient to use this didactic game. Purpose of the game: to develop compositional thinking skills, consolidate knowledge of seasonal changes in nature, consolidate knowledge of the concept of “landscape,” develop observation and memory. Progress of the game: the child is asked to create a landscape of a certain season (winter, spring, autumn or winter) from a set of printed pictures; the child must select objects corresponding to this particular time of year and, using his knowledge, build the correct composition.

6.Game “Arrange and count the nesting dolls”

Purpose of the game: to consolidate knowledge about the Russian nesting doll, develop the ability to distinguish this type of creativity from others, develop ordinal counting skills, eye, and reaction speed.
Progress of the game: Leaves with drawn silhouettes of nesting dolls hang on the board, three children are called and they must quickly arrange the nesting dolls into cells and count them.

7. Game “Matryoshkin’s sundress”

Progress of the game: Silhouettes of three nesting dolls are drawn on the board, the teacher calls three children in turn, they each choose to wear their own nesting doll.

Each of these games can be drawn by yourself or made using a computer and a color printer.

Game index

Didactic games for artistic and aesthetic development will help create additional motivation for preschool children and present them with new material in an accessible, fun way. With the help of didactic material, children get the opportunity to come into more detailed and imaginative contact with the world of art in everyday, real life. The following activities contribute to this:

Class

Various types of visual arts (painting, modeling, applique, paper-making, applied arts).
Musical development (singing, listening to works, playing musical instruments, rhythm, plasticity, pantomime).
Theatrical and artistic activities (listening and retelling fairy tales and other literary works, role-playing games, theatrical performances and their discussion).

Important! It is necessary to observe the age-related characteristics of the child’s development when choosing topics and designing activities. This will help kids not only learn new terms and concepts, but also master useful skills and abilities.

In the younger group

At the age of 2-3 years, the active formation of the speech apparatus occurs. Classes during this period should combine the consolidation of concepts with the opportunity to develop the baby’s fine motor skills.

Drawing

Beautiful pyramids, cubes, bright flags, busy boards, and finger paints are especially suitable for this purpose. When playing, you must pronounce the name, color and shape of the object.

Telling stories and fairy tales will bring the greatest results for listeners if it is accompanied by action. For example, a table theater made of cardboard or felt. The use of Russian folk instruments also increases the emotional level of perception.

In the middle group

At this age, children willingly learn everything new. The main goals of teachers:

Develop primary drawing skills and techniques using various materials: pencils, paints, crayons and felt-tip pens.
Get children interested in making crafts from various materials: paper, felt, plasticine, wool, natural raw materials.
Thematic activities can be illustrated and supplemented with reproductions of paintings and fragments of classical music, while at the same time focusing on folklore and folk music.
Continue to get acquainted with the theater, play out fairy tales in round dance games and skits. An addition will be thematic classes telling about creative professions.

Experimental activities in the senior group

The teacher performs all stages of the lesson together with the children, talking through all his actions in detail.

In the older group

Didactic games for artistic and aesthetic development in the senior group have their own characteristics:

Children aged 5-6 years are able to independently obtain information using board games. With their help, terms and concepts characteristic of creative activities (musical instruments, artist's materials, crafts, literary works and fairy-tale characters) are well established. Musical works are divided into genres. Choral singing and playing musical instruments are developing.
New tasks appear in drawing - depicting genre pictures, scenes on a given topic. Children also get acquainted with different types of folk painting.
Theatricalization is manifested in performances dedicated to matinees, thematic classes and national holidays.

Educational game

Need to know! The teacher explains in detail the task assigned to the children, without taking part in its implementation, but carefully observing the actions of the students.

In the preparatory group

From the first week of September, classes are aimed at preparing for school. Future first-graders must have a developed imagination, an understanding of social and social norms, and be able to work not only individually, but also in a team. During this period, classes and assignments for children are designed in such a way as to help open the creative possibilities hidden in children and activate their observation and curiosity.
