Modeling
Children in the second younger group like the sculpture “Traffic Light” the most. Similar classes are also held for older and younger children. In the process of sculpting, they learn how to make a traffic light. The good idea is that at the end you can make a mini-exhibition for parents. This will increase the baby's motivation.
During modeling, the teacher will be able to guide the children by asking additional questions. When answering questions, they will sculpt elements from a single piece of plasticine. In parallel with this, the child’s memory and imagination develop. The exercise has a positive effect on the child’s fine motor skills.
Note! The modeling of a traffic light in the middle group should be accompanied by more complex questions regarding traffic rules.
Sample questions:
- how many colors does the traffic light have?
- what color circle is located on top;
- what color is the base of the structure?
As a rule, at the preparatory stage when drawing up notes, a popular cartoon character is taken who sculpts a traffic light. The guys are encouraged to do the same. At the end, you must add that the fairy-tale character is happy. You can start the lesson with riddles or songs about traffic lights.

During the process, the teacher must explain to the children how to correctly build a traffic light. For example, he says out loud that he rolls circles with his palms. The child chooses the circles themselves and the size of the craft independently. At the end of the lesson, you need to consolidate the topic, make sure that all the children understand the traffic lights.
Drawing
Drawing on this topic is most often carried out in older groups of preschool educational institutions. Children at this age are already better able to draw elements. During the lesson, they will further improve this skill, develop memory and improve their knowledge of traffic rules. The process has a positive effect on children’s fine motor skills.
Important! After finishing the lesson, the child will be able to confidently talk about the rules of the road, and will also improve the technique of drawing round objects.
For the best result, you need to prepare a template on which the children will draw and conduct the lesson. This will deepen the baby's visual memory. For drawing, you can use watercolors, gouache, colored pencils, you will also need albums or A4 sheets.

Coloring pages
The “Traffic Light” applique in the middle group can also be made by coloring special coloring drawings.
For your information! Coloring pictures has a positive effect on fine motor skills and relaxes the child.
The main condition is that the pictures must clearly indicate the relationship between violation of the rules and the consequences of their non-compliance. So, a picture that shows just a traffic light will not give the child complete knowledge. But the drawing, accompanied by additional pictures, will be remembered for a long time. Also, this method of teaching develops the creative abilities of a preschooler.
