"Right wrong"

(for children 3-7 years old)

Goal: to consolidate the rules of behavior for children during meals.

The game is played by analogy with the game “Helpful - Harmful” . Children approach the table, on which there are upside-down pictures depicting correct and incorrect behavior at the table during meals, and stand on 2 sides of the hall or playground. Some go to the left if they think that the correct behavior is depicted there, others stand opposite.

To reinforce ethical skills, you can play the game “What first, what next?” , in which children need to arrange the pictures on the table in order, for example, first wash their hands, sit down at the table, check with their fist or palm whether the chair is correctly pushed to the table, then wish bon appetit to their neighbor at the table or to all the children sitting at this table. Take bread, a proper spoon (fork) and start eating. Help with bread to take food into a spoon (fork). When eating the second dish, you need to separate small pieces from the large one and, taking it into your mouth, chew them well. Do not talk while chewing. Watch your seating position with your hands (elbows should not be on the table). If it is difficult to get something on the table, politely ask a friend to bring bread, a napkin, etc. When eating soup, do not place onions or other foods on the edges of the plate. When there is little soup left in the plate, you need to throw the plate away from you and finish the contents. After eating, wipe your lips with a napkin and rinse your mouth.

It is good if these rules are reinforced in practice. During meals, teach children to observe them and, in some cases, remind them of some rules of etiquette. When eating, you can use proverbs about etiquette or about the products from which a particular dish is prepared.

Didactic game “Helpful - Harmful” material on the topic

Didactic game

"Harmful and useful"

Goal: To expand children's understanding and consolidate children's knowledge about the dangers and benefits of food, form the foundations of a healthy lifestyle and valeological culture, expand the vocabulary of preschoolers, develop communication skills, attention, memory, hearing, and speed of reaction.

Preliminary work: In educational activities and during regular hours, conversations are held on the topic: “Harmful and healthy foods”, “Our health”, “What helps us grow healthy”, etc. Children also look at and, together with the teacher, discuss illustrations and story pictures on these topics, and also participate in watching cartoons and programs about a healthy lifestyle.

Before starting a game in the middle group, children must be reminded of the rules of the game. In senior and preparatory classes, 1-2 times are enough for the kids to remember the rules. Therefore, you can simply name the game you are going to play with them. At the end of the game, praise the children for their attention and correct answers, wish them and yourself good health.

Option 1 - for the middle group

Children sit on chairs. The teacher has in his hands 5-7 pairs of cards depicting harmful and beneficial products (or human actions). For example: “Vegetables”, “Chips”, “Children play in the fresh air”, “A child is sitting at the computer, and it’s night outside”, “A child washes his hands with soap”, “A grimy child”, etc.

The teacher shows the cards one by one and names what is shown on them. If it is a useful product (or action), children clap their hands and say “Yes, yes, yes!” And if it’s harmful, then the guys stamp their feet and, saying “No, no, no!”, shake their heads negatively. First, you can alternate between bad and good, and then complicate the task by showing, for example, how useful products (actions) are in a row, and then one that is harmful. You must end the game with a positive example.

Option 2 - for the older group

a) The conditions are the same as in the younger group, but the teacher does not show pictures, but names a product or action.

b) Children can sit freely in the playroom (or on the playground). When the teacher names a useful product (or action), the children walk, clap their hands and say “Yes, yes, yes!” And when it’s harmful, they stop, shake their heads negatively and say “No, no, no!” The game ends with a positive example.

Option 3 - for the preparatory group

a) The conditions are the same as in the previous groups, but the children have red and green cards in their hands (any shape of card). The teacher shows a picture (or names a product or action). Positive option - children pick up green cards, negative option - red cards.

b) Children sit in the playroom on the carpet (or on the playground). They have red and green cards in their hands. Music sounds, the guys start moving - walking, dancing, etc. The teacher stops the music and shows a picture of a product or action. When the music ends, the children stop and, depending on the version of the picture, show the red one, saying “This is bad!” or a green card, saying “This is very good!”. A more difficult option is when the teacher does not show pictures, but names a product or a person’s action. The game uses 5-7 pairs of card options or names.
