The development of attention in preschoolers in the process of games and game exercises. Attention games for preschoolers

The child's admission to school marks the beginning of the intensive formation of his voluntary attention. The need to concentrate every day for several hours on certain objects, actions disciplines his will, organizes attention.

At preschool age, a child can hold attention for quite a long time: six-year-old children play an interesting game for an hour, and spend one and a half to two hours drawing. Arbitrary attention of a preschooler is formed in different games(role-playing, didactic), requiring both focus on specific objects, actions, and its distribution. However, involuntary attention still prevails. A preschooler easily switches from the necessary, but less interesting business to a trifling, but exciting one. At this age, there is still a strong reaction to everything new, bright, unusual. The child can not yet sufficiently control their attention. This can be explained by the fact that the visual-figurative nature of mental activity prevails in him. IN primary school the development of voluntary attention of students. This is closely related to the development of a responsible attitude to learning. It is important to spend time motivating learning. The stronger the interest in school, the more seriously and responsibly the child performs the task.

They influence the nature of attention and the individual characteristics of the personality of a preschooler. They must be taken into account in order to avoid misunderstandings. So, passive, sluggish phlegmatic and melancholic seem inattentive, but in fact they are focused on the subject being studied, which is easy to find out by asking them on the topic. The restless, overly talkative sanguine seems inattentive, however, his answers to the teacher's questions indicate that he works together with everyone. Of course, there are children who are simply inattentive. The reasons are different: laziness of thought, a frivolous attitude to learning, increased excitability of the central nervous system. The teacher, developing attention in children, brings up mindfulness as a character trait.

How to develop the attention of a preschooler?

This question often worries both parents and teachers. Special tasks and exercises can help in the development of attention, the most effective of which are given in the article. In addition, they will contribute to the development of visual and auditory perception, memory, visual-figurative and logical thinking, and the execution graphic exercises- development of fine motor skills and coordination of hand movements.

When completing tasks, the child will need the help of parents: explain the task, check the correctness of its implementation, do not forget to praise for the effort. If the baby is at a loss, it is necessary to offer to perform similar exercises. Before starting classes, it is imperative to create a positive emotional mood in the child, in no case allow overwork - this can cause a reluctance to learn.

Exercises and games for the development of attention:

1. "Who is more observant?"

Look at any object, remember it, turn away and describe in detail.

2. Finding numbers from Schulte tables.

This technique is used when examining children who know numbers well. The child must find the numbers in order, showing and calling them aloud.

The time spent on completing the task by children aged 6–7 should be 1–1.5 minutes.

3. The game "Do not wear black and white."

This game, which is a variant old game recommended for the development of voluntary attention. Two people participate in it - a child and an adult who controls the implementation of the rules of the game.

Invite your child to play questions and answers. You will ask questions and he will answer. The answers may be different, you can’t just say one forbidden word, for example, call White color. Warn the baby to be attentive, as you will try to catch him. Then you can ask questions, for example: “Have you been to the clinic?”, “What color are the doctors’ gowns?” etc. The child must find such a form of answers in order to fulfill the rules of the game. As soon as he makes a mistake and calls the forbidden word, the roles change. Whoever can answer correctly wins. large quantity questions.

First, to help the child, you can give him a card painted in a forbidden color. When the baby has aid, he manages his attention much better. After several variants of the game (different colors may be forbidden), the child may refuse the card. This game can be made more difficult by entering 2 forbidden colors or other forbidden words, for example Yes and no.

4. "Play detective"

Find and color triangles yellow, polygons are in blue.

5. "Find your happiness."

Find two flowers with five petals.

6. Exercise for the development of concentration of attention and its stability.

Recommended for children who can read. Letters are printed randomly on the form, each line contains approximately 30 letters. The child carefully looks through each line and tries to find words among random letters. He must find these words and underline them.

odyrametlakayogubusshygmyo(hole, broom, bus)

otshmolrvvuranstralgpalkanio(stick)

kviaipshubayvakrtyamamaoyipsazsh(fur coat, mother)

trpmsmokemyloymshtsysorzschntspzho(smoke, soap, rubbish)

fpitzmkunzniakotelmartpomballv(cauldron, march, ball)

Success rate - number of found right words and speed of the task. Letters and words between them can be typed on a computer or handwritten.

7. Spot the differences.

Compare the pictures with each other and name the differences.

At school, the child will need to not only listen carefully, but also understand what the teacher says, not only read the textbook carefully, but also imagine what is written in it, not only memorize the rules, but also figure out how they can be applied in one case or another. This means that one cannot do without developed perception, thinking, and imagination, which ensure the conscious assimilation and application of school knowledge.

Complex didactic games on the development of attention of older preschoolers.

1. Who is behind whom?

Game procedure. Children are divided into 2 teams of 5-6 people and stand in 2 lines. One from each team - the driver - stands with his back to everyone; the rest are being rebuilt at this time.
The leader gives a signal, and the driver, quickly turning to face the line, tries to remember who is behind whom. On a new signal, after five to ten seconds, the driver, turning away, must say in what order his comrades are standing. Then the driver becomes in line, and another child takes his place, and so on until everyone from the team has been the driver.
2. Who will collect faster?
The goal is to develop active attention.
Game material: objects of various shapes.
The facilitator lays out 5 different items on the table. The player is blindfolded, and he must quickly (no longer than 1 minute) collect all these items in the order that the host will indicate to him.
He changes the arrangement of objects and gives the task to other players in turn. The one who collects the fastest is considered the winner.

Whoever tries to catch the ball is out of the game.
In the middle of the circle is the leader, he throws the balls that have fallen inside.
The game ends when there are 2-3 players left, whom everyone clap and consider them the winners.
4. Edible - inedible.
The goal is to develop active attention.
Game material: ball.
Game procedure. Children sit in a circle. The host says the word he has conceived and throws the ball to his neighbor. If the word means food (fruits, vegetables, sweets, dairy, meat and other products), then the child to whom the ball was thrown must catch it (“eat”). If the word denotes inedible objects, then the ball is not caught. If the child coped with the task, then he becomes the leader and calls his intended word to another child, and throws the ball.
5. Dwarfs and giants.
The goal is to develop active attention.
Game procedure. Children sit or become a semicircle. The leader names the items.

The facilitator may deliberately make mistakes, and many children will involuntarily, by virtue of imitation, repeat the actions of the facilitator. It is necessary to perform correctly, whoever makes a mistake is out of the game. And so on until 2-3 people remain. Similarly, you can play the game "Flies - does not fly."
6. Find a photo.
The goal is to develop concentration and distribution of attention, the development of visual-spatial orientation, imagination, activation of attention and visual memory children by comparing the object with its silhouette and comparing the “object-silhouette” pair in the presence of controversial (similar to the object) images

Game procedure. The clowns were photographed, but when they came to receive photographs, they were confused. Task: each clown to find his photo. On the flannelgraph there are photographs of clowns with different facial expressions. The child receives the original (a sheet with the image of a clown's face) and must find its analogue among the photographs. Then the next participant in the game starts the search, and so on until all the photographs are found.
The game is accompanied by claps, slogans like: “Look carefully - you will definitely find it!” When the child has made a choice, he can be asked questions: “What kind of clown do you have?” (happy, sad, etc.) “What should we call him?” (Cry-Baby, Grumpy, Laughter, etc.) “Where is the clown looking?” Looking for an answer to question asked all players participate.

The direction changes after each signal.
If the child is confused and made a mistake, he leaves the game and sits on a chair in the room. The game ends when 2-3 children remain in it. They are declared winners and everyone clap for them.
9. Find out what it is?
The goal is to activate visual attention and memory, develop observation skills, improve visual-spatial orientation in the process of recognizing and describing an object from a contour image of its part.
Game material: demonstration canvas, handout, color. pencils, sheets for drawing.
Game procedure: the teacher puts on a demonstration canvas a picture depicting the outline of the upper part, for example: a tram, inviting the children to carefully examine it and decide what part of it reminds them of. If children find it difficult to answer, the teacher helps them with hints. Then each child is given leaflets on which the objects are not fully depicted, and the child is asked to first recognize the object, and then draw them completely on separate sheets.

11. Confusion.
The goal is the development of visual attention and memory, visual-spatial orientation, imagination and logical thinking.
Game material: visual aids and handouts (3-4 cards for each child)
Game procedure. The teacher demonstrates a card of superimposed contours of various shapes (for example: a teapot, an umbrella, a candy, etc.). At the same time, he explains to the children that only at first everything depicted here seems to be a confusion. In fact, if we look closely, we will see images, or rather, the contours of several objects. In order not to be mistaken in what is shown on the “confusion” card, one must try to trace the outline of each image very carefully. The teacher draws along the lines several times until the children recognize and name the object. When the children recognize the first subject, the teacher exposes it color image. Thus, all confusion is gradually unraveled. Then the children are given “confusion” cards, the teacher asks to carefully look and say what is shown in someone.
12. Spot the differences.

15. Find two identical drawings.
The goal is to develop attention, observation
Game material: methodology forms
Game procedure: Instruction: in each of the five tasks, similar drawings are given, which are somewhat different from each other. But two of these drawings are exactly the same. Which drawings are completely identical, the child must determine.
Teach your child to consistently and systematically compare all the drawings in the assignment with each other. It is important here that the child learns to quickly and accurately find signs, elements in which the drawings differ from each other.
Note: in the first and second tasks, the drawings have only 2 signs of difference; in the third task there are already 3 of them. It is desirable that when performing this exercise, the child not only finds the same drawings, but also names the signs by which the pictures differ.
16. Architect
The goal is to develop attention, observation
Game material: cubes.
Game procedure: The teacher is an architect, the child is a builder. Both have the same number of cubes different types. The architect shows with the help of his cubes what structure needs to be built (ladder, arch, house), the builder repeats the task.

The partner changes some details of his appearance and invites the "Detective" to guess what he changed. The subject of the game can be not only the appearance of the partner, but also the arrangement of objects in the room, small details in the picture, and much more. The difficulty of the game depends on the number of modifiable items. Start with fewer changes and gradually increase them.

19 Numerical table


Game procedure: Show the child a table with a set of numbers from 1 to 25, which are arranged in random order. But first, make sure the child knows all these numbers. Tell him: "Try as quickly as possible to find, show and say aloud the numbers from 1 to 25." Most children 6-7 years old complete this task in 1.5-2 minutes and almost without errors.

1 10 11 18 7
16 20 3 14 22
2 25 9 13 24
12 5 21 4 17
19 23 15 6 8

20 "Button"
The goal is the development of attention, observation.
Game material: forms with a table.
Game procedure: Two people play. In front of them are two identical sets of buttons, in each of which not a single button is repeated. Each player has a playing field - it is a square divided into cells. The starter of the game puts 3 buttons on his field, the second player must look and remember where which button lies. After that, the first player covers his playing field with a piece of paper, and the second must repeat the same arrangement of buttons on his field.
The more cells and buttons are used in the game, the more difficult the game becomes.
The same game can be used to work on the development of memory, spatial perception and thinking.

21 Little beetle
The goal is the development of attention, observation.
Game material: forms with a table.
Game procedure: “Now we will play such a game. You see, in front of you is a field drawn into cells. A beetle is crawling on this field. The beetle moves on command. It can move up, down, right, left. I will dictate moves to you, and you will move the beetle across the field in the right direction.Do it mentally.You cannot draw or move your finger across the field!

Attention? We started. One cell up, one cell to the left. One cell down. One cell to the left. One cell down. Show me where the beetle stopped."

(If the child finds it difficult to complete the task mentally, then at first you can let him show with his finger each movement of the beetle, or make a beetle and move it around the field. It is important that as a result the child learns to mentally navigate in the cell field).

Tasks for the beetle can come up with a variety of. When the field of 16 cells is mastered, move on to moving along the field of 25, 36 cells, complicate the tasks with moves: 2 cells obliquely to the right and down, 3 cells to the left, etc.

22 Follow the pattern

Game material: samples for making a pattern.
Game procedure: The activity of the child includes drawing rather complex, but repetitive patterns. Each of the patterns requires increased attention of the child, because. requires him to perform several sequential actions:
- analysis of each element of the pattern;
- correct reproduction of each element;
- retention of the sequence for a long time.

When performing tasks of this kind, it is important not only how accurately the child reproduces the pattern (concentration of attention), but also how long he can work without errors. Therefore, each time try to gradually increase the execution time of one pattern. 5 minutes is enough to get started.

After the "cell" patterns are mastered, move on to more complex patterns on a clean sheet.

Attention is a manifestation of the selective orientation of consciousness processes. The level of its development largely determines the success of the child in learning. Attention - necessary condition any activity: educational, playful, cognitive.

For preschool age attention develops from involuntary, that is, arising by itself under the influence of external impressions, to arbitrary, controlled by a conscious effort of will. The disorganized behavior of children, their increased impulsiveness and restlessness, as a rule, are the result of an inability to control their behavior and attention. The child himself cannot overcome these shortcomings. Voluntary attention develops quite intensively if adults help the child.

Any game requires attention, but usually this aspect acts as an auxiliary, accompanying the solution of other tasks. In order to develop a baby's focus, stability and concentration of attention, special games are needed, where this task is at the center of the child's and adult's activities.

Exercises and games to train attention, many of which do not require special training and which can be carried out anywhere, are widely known: laying out according to the model, pictures “Find the differences”, “Find two identical”, “Cross out the letter”, “What did the artist mix up? ”, etc. The main thing is the systematic, diversity and enthusiasm of adults and children.

With a subgroup of children, you can play the following games.

One, two, three - speak!

Objective of the game:

Teach children to identify several different conditions problem solving and take them into account when performing game actions. One of these conditions requires cognitive activity, and others - volitional efforts.

Game description:

First, carefully look at what is drawn, and remember what it is called. But don't say anything until I say: “One, two, three - speak! » Whoever names the picture first after my signal will receive it. Let's try". There is a short pause before the last word (speak). The one who names the picture first gets it. It is necessary to have duplicate pictures in case several children give the correct answer at once.

Then the game changes. Guessing is not offered to all children at the same time, but to two or three. Groups are formed in order of priority.

Rules of the game:

1. Before giving an answer, you need to carefully look at the picture and remember the name of the depicted object.

2. You can name an object only after the words: “One, two, three - speak! »

Put your finger

The difficulty lies in the fact that the child must overcome the external attractiveness of other pictures and focus only on the one that the teacher will name. The child receives the found picture as a prize. The main requirement of the game is to look for a picture with your eyes, not with your hands, and only at the last moment put your finger on it. You can help your child restrain himself by inviting him to hold his finger at the edge of the table until the picture is named.

At the beginning of the game, children are invited to look at all the pictures, name the objects depicted on them. After that, a couple of children are invited, in front of which all the pictures are laid out. Explain the rules of the game. Then the words are pronounced: “Which of you will find and indicate with your finger where the apple is located first? » The children show the picture, and the teacher turns to the others: Who put his finger on the apple before? The children answer and the winner gets a picture. The second child is given the opportunity to "recoup", but if he does not find the picture this time, the next pair of children is called. The pictures given to the children are replaced with new ones.

Rules of the game:

1. Hold your finger right hand at the edge of the table until an adult calls the item. It is forbidden to remove your finger from the table ahead of time.

The toy should be among other objects familiar to children (a doll among dolls, a car among cars). The rest of the children are told that they must not reveal the secret where the toys are hiding. Each driver must find his own toy. “It’s time,” the adult and children say in unison, and the drivers begin to look. When they return with toys, the adult asks the rest of the children: “Who found the toy first? Did he find his toy? ". The winner is given a prize. The game is repeated from the beginning, and now the children themselves hide the toys.

Games for development various kinds memory

What was gone

For children of preschool age there is a game "What's gone? " ("What is missing"). Several items, toys are placed on the table. The child looks at them attentively for one or two minutes, and then turns away. At this point, the adult removes one of the items. The task of the child is to remember what item is missing (for children of older preschool age, a more complex option is offered - with the disappearance of two or more toys). Children's responses may vary. Depending on readiness, the child can find a toy on another table, in a room, at a more remote distance, choose a sign with the name of the toy, etc. This game has another option. The child needs to remember the location of the toy among others, and after the adult behind the screen violates this order, return it to its original place. The reverse version is also possible - the game “Who came to us? ", when an adult does not remove, but adds an object or several objects behind the screen.

Box

There is another memory game - "The Box". It can be played by kids from 2 to 6 years old. The box is made up of small boxes that are placed in pairs and glued together. Their number is gradually increasing (up to 12 by the senior preschool age). An object is hidden in one of them in front of the child's eyes, after which the box is closed by a screen for a while. Then he is asked to find the object. -nem

Find it yourself

The visual memory of children is well developed by a game (similar to the "Box") called "Find It Yourself". For her, it is necessary to glue 4 and 3 matchboxes, placing them on top of each other so that 2 turrets are obtained. At the first stage of the game, for example, a button is placed in one of the boxes and the box is closed. The child is offered to show where they put the button, in which of the turrets and in which compartment. At the second, more difficult stage, 2 items are already hidden in different compartments of one of the turrets. At the third stage, objects are put into different turrets, and the child needs to remember where everything is. The baby can open the branches of the turret immediately after the object has been hidden (this is the development of short-term visual memory) or, for example, after half an hour, and for senior preschool age - the next day (development of long-term visual memory).

Learn the subject

An exercise for training tactile memory can be the game "Recognize the Object". A child of senior preschool age is blindfolded, and in turn placed in his outstretched hand various items. At the same time, their names are not pronounced aloud, the baby himself must guess what kind of thing it is. After a number of objects (3-10) is examined, he is offered to name all these things, moreover, in the order in which they were put into the hand. The complexity of the task lies in the fact that the child needs to perform 2 mental operations - recognition and memorization.

Marine knots

At older preschool age, you can develop the child's tactile memory by teaching him to tie sea ​​knots(especially since it also helps the development of visual spatial imagination).

miraculous words

The auditory memory of older preschoolers is developed by the game "Wonderful Words". It is necessary to select 20 words that are related in meaning: 10 pairs should be obtained, for example: food-spoon, window-door, face-nose, apple-banana, cat-dog. These words are read to the child 3 times, moreover, the pairs stand out intonationally. After a while, the baby is repeated only the first words of the pairs, and the second he must remember. This is short-term auditory memory training. For the development of long-term memorization, you need to ask the preschooler to remember the second words of the pairs not immediately, but after half an hour.

Draw a figure

The child is shown 4-6 geometric shapes, and then ask him to draw on paper those that he remembered. A more difficult option is to ask the young artist to reproduce the figures, given their size and color.

Who knows more

The game "Who knows more" is also intended for senior preschool age. The child is offered to name 5 objects of a given shape or color in one minute. For example - 5 round objects, or 5 red objects. The one who did not have time to name the items in the allotted time is out of the game. Replays don't count!

Games to develop the attention of preschoolers and schoolchildren

Attention is the main component of education. How attentive the child is, directly depends on his success in school. Preschoolers have involuntary attention, i.e. requiring no willpower. Interest is the main factor of concentration. Games for the development of attention form preparation for the transition from involuntary attention to voluntary attention, which will be required at school. Here TOP 10 interesting games on the development of the attention of the child:

The game "Edible - not edible!"

The host throws the ball and names an object. If you can eat it, you need to catch the ball, and if you can’t, beat it off. The game develops dexterity, coordination and attention.

Game "Old Chest"

Imagine that you have found an old chest in the attic. How many interesting things are there! And now we play.

The first player says: “In an old dusty chest in my attic…” and comes up with what might be there, for example, a pirate hat. The second repeats everything that the first said and adds his word (In an old dusty chest in my attic I have a pirate hat and ginger cat etc.) . Whoever makes a mistake is out.

Game "Repeat movements"

The leader shows several simple movements, the child remembers and, on a signal, reproduces the movements in the same order. Start with three movements and gradually increase. This game will help the kid, later, easily learn dance in kindergarten.

Game "Storyteller"

An adult reads a fairy tale in paragraphs, and then asks questions about the meaning. For example, "Once upon a time there were three little pigs, Nif-Nif, Naf-Naf and Nuf-Nuf."

- How many pigs were there? What were their names? The game develops listening skills (listening comprehension).

Game "Excellent"

Offer the child a game to find the differences in the pictures. These games develop mindfulness and perseverance well.

Game "Funny clothespins"

If you have a lot of colorful clothespins - good. Let the kid count them, if he can. If not, do it for him. Then let him run around the apartment and hook them anywhere. When the job is done, it's time to "harvest".

Now we collect, preferably in the same sequence as we pinned. Counted - everything is in place? Fine.

Game "Controller"

Prepare three cards or flags from colored cardboard. You show the baby a card, and he performs some specific action. For example, a red card - clap your hands, a blue one - jump up, a green one - touch your nose...

Increase the pace.

Game "Who's the last?"

Take a few soft toys or dolls and put them one after the other in random order. Imagine that they are standing in line for ice cream, everyone wants to get it quickly. Some toys strive to cheat.

The child remembers the order of the toys in the queue, then turns away, and you rearrange one toy in another place. Then the baby turns and guesses what has changed.

Game "Hare"

Similar to the previous game. Plant some toys in a box - a bus. All toys are passengers with tickets.

The baby turns away, and you add one extra toy. The child turns and tries to figure out the free rider's "hare".

Game "Find the letter"

Circle a small paragraph in a magazine or newspaper for your child. Let him find, for example, all the letters "o". If he can count, let him count.

Games for the development of attention of preschoolers

Attention is the main mental property of a person. Preschoolers are dominated by involuntary attention - involuntary concentration on an object or phenomenon that has emotional significance for the child. Interest is the most powerful factor in concentration.

If the subject or situation is not interesting to the child, attention is focused with the help of volitional effort. Such attention is called arbitrary. The highest form of attention is observation - a conscious concentration of attention on a specific object.

Games for the development of the attention of preschoolers form preparation for the transition of involuntary attention to voluntary.

Games for the development of attention of preschoolers - The ability to concentrate

"Build in the Dark"(not suitable for children who are afraid of the dark!)

Put some cubes on the table. The child remembers where the cubes lie, and then, blindfolded, tries to build a tower of cubes. The game helps to focus.

"Catch - do not catch!" The adult throws the ball, the child catches it. Agree that you can catch the ball if you say: "Catch!". If the ball is thrown without a word, it must be returned. Complicating the game, we add the word "Don't catch!" Attention to sounds, words, speech

"Go quietly!" The driver is blindfolded. The other participant tries to pass unnoticed. If the driver heard, he claps his hands.

"Who sings?" An adult taps with a wooden pencil (or metal stick) on several objects on the table. Each item has a different sound. The child listens carefully to the sound the object makes.

Then he turns away and tries to guess which object the adult is hitting.

"Repeat after me" An adult calls 3-4 words, the child listens carefully, and then repeats in the same sequence.

"Storytellers" An adult reads a fairy tale in parts (1-2 sentences), then asks questions about the meaning. For example, “A soldier was walking along the road: one or two! one-two! Knapsack on the back, saber on the side; he was walking home from the war." - What is behind the soldier's back?

What's on his side?

For each correct answer - a chip. How many chips today, how many tomorrow? This game will serve the child well at school.

Attention to signs, pictures, letters

"Look at the picture" a) The child is invited to carefully consider the picture. After that, the adult asks questions about the large objects shown in the picture: What is drawn in the center? On right? Left?

What colour? Are there round objects? etc. Gradually, tasks can be complicated by asking about small items. b) Examines the coloring.

Turns away. At this time, the adult paints over the details of the picture. The child must show where they painted over.

As coloring progresses, it becomes more difficult to guess, as there is less of a clean picture left.

"Cross out the figurine" Type on the computer (or draw) in large print several rows of letters, numbers, shapes. For example: Invite the child to cross out only the circles. Then you can offer to cross out familiar letters or numbers.

"Remember and dot" Prepare squares on a sheet of paper. Put a dot on one of them. Invite the child to memorize the arrangement of dots and repeat it in an empty square.

Gradually, you can increase the number of points and the number of cells in the square.

Attention to movements

We will take turns showing different movements and repeating one after another.

"Ladder" I.P. - standing, arms along the body, legs together. Our hands go up the stairs: to the belt, to the shoulders, above the head. Then they go down.

Hands first move together, then one at a time (catch up with each other). The adult shows the pattern, the child repeats. Adult changes pace: fast-slow. The task of the child is to carefully follow the hands of an adult and reproduce the movements in the same order.

"Clap-stomp" Condition: if an adult raises his hands up - the child clap; if hands are to the sides - stomps; hands down - freezes.

On a walk

During a walk or outdoor recreation, you can also organize games to develop the attention of preschoolers.

"Find a toy" An adult hides a toy on the playground (in a clearing), the child is looking for. Then they switch roles.

"Scouts" We will observe nature or the area around us. Who will find more: a) everything is green; b) everything is round; c) everything is soft, etc.

One of the options for developing attention can be a four-legged friend. Moreover, Yorkie puppies can be purchased inexpensively even through an online store. Most importantly, after the purchase, do not forget to teach the child the basic skills of caring for him.

Didactic games for the development of attention

V. A. Sukhomlinsky wrote: “The attention of a small child is a capricious “creature”. It seems to me a shy bird that flies away from the nest as soon as you try to get close to it.

Attention is the focus on something. It is connected with the interests, inclinations of the child, such qualities depend on his characteristics: observation, the ability to note subtle, but significant signs in objects and phenomena.

Attention is one of the main conditions that ensure the successful assimilation by the child of the amount of knowledge and skills available to him and the establishment of contact with an adult. If attention is absent, the child cannot learn to imitate the actions of an adult, nor to act according to the model, nor to follow verbal instructions. The development of attention is closely intertwined with the development of memorization.

The attention of a preschooler reflects his interests in relation to the surrounding objects and the actions performed with them. The child is focused on an object or action only until his interest in this object or action fades. The appearance of a new object causes a switch of attention, so children rarely do the same thing for a long time.

Attention has properties such as: volume, stability, concentration, selectivity, distribution, switchability and arbitrariness. Violation of each of the properties leads to difficulties in the functioning of attention as a process, as a result, to deviations in the child's activity.

In preschool childhood develops:

involuntary attention, which is associated with the assimilation of new differentiated knowledge about the types of animals, insects, flowers, etc. all this is first explained and shown by adults, then the child notices himself, involuntarily. What was explained not only attracts attention in itself, but also serves as a kind of background against which unusual objects become noticeable. Children notice a friend's new clothes, unusual flowers, etc. They notice not only bright, catchy, loud, but exactly unusual - something that was not in their experience.

Arbitrary attention which manifests itself in the course of purposeful activity. The purpose of the action as an image of the intended result encourages attention throughout the activity.

If what he planned didn’t work out, the child even cries: “I wanted to draw Pinocchio, and then some kind of cow came out!”. One can see the great concentration of children at the moments of experimenting with objects, pouring water.

People say: “If it is quiet, then something is up to”. Although children 4-5 years old begin to master voluntary attention, involuntary attention remains predominant throughout preschool childhood. stay attentive. This feature of attention is one of the reasons why preschool education cannot be based on tasks that require constant tension of voluntary attention.

The elements of the game used in the classroom, productive activities and their frequent change, allow you to maintain the attention of children at a fairly high level. Attention is of great importance in the lives of children.

It is this that makes all mental processes complete. The development of the properties and types of attention of a preschooler significantly depends on the significance, emotionality, interest for him in new material, on the nature of the activity that the child performs. Thus, attention indicators increase significantly in various games, and especially in didactic ones.

I. We develop visual attention.

1. "Do like mine"

An adult offers the child to lay out a letter, number, pattern, picture, etc. from sticks (or mosaics) according to the model. (You can use Kuizener sticks)

Any movement or combination of movements can be prohibited.

7. "Train"

Preschoolers stand in a circle and imitate the movement of the train, an adult shows cards that indicate a certain movement: yellow card - the train collapsed, red - the train stops, blue - the train goes in the opposite direction, green - the train goes faster.

Other publications on developing attention:

Dear parents and teachers! If you don't know about the existence of the site games-for-kids.ru yet, then we highly recommend that you visit it right now. This is the best site on the Internet with an incredibly large number of free educational games and exercises for children. Here you will find games for the development of thinking, attention, memory in preschoolers, exercises for teaching counting and reading, crafts, drawing lessons and much more. All tasks are developed with the participation of experienced child psychologists and preschool teachers. If you are interested in the topic of developing attention in children, be sure to check out the special section of the site "Games for the development of attention in children". Here are screenshots of some tasks:

Attention is the most important quality that characterizes the process of selecting the necessary information and discarding the superfluous. The fact is that thousands of signals from the outside world enter the human brain every second. If there were no attention (a kind of filter), then our brain could not avoid overload.

Attention has certain properties: volume, stability, concentration, selectivity, distribution, switchability and arbitrariness. Violation of each of these properties leads to deviations in the behavior and activities of the child.

A small amount of attention is the inability to concentrate on several objects at the same time, to keep them in mind.

Insufficient concentration and stability of attention - it is difficult for a child to maintain attention for a long time without being distracted and without weakening it.

Insufficient selectivity of attention - the child cannot concentrate on that part of the material that is necessary to solve the task.

Poorly developed attention switching - it is difficult for a child to switch from performing one type of activity to another. For example, if you first checked how your kid did his homework in mathematics, and then, at the same time, decided to test him in Russian, then he will not be able to answer you well. The child will make many mistakes, although he knows the correct answers. It's just hard for him to quickly switch from one type of tasks (mathematical) to another (in Russian).

Poorly developed ability to distribute attention - the inability to effectively (without errors) perform several tasks at the same time.

Insufficient arbitrariness of attention - the child finds it difficult to focus attention on demand.

Such shortcomings cannot be eliminated by fragmentarily included "attention exercises" in the process of training with a child and, as studies show, they require specially organized work to overcome them.

Such work should be carried out in two directions:

1. The use of special exercises that train the basic properties of attention: volume, distribution, concentration, stability and switching.

2. The use of exercises on the basis of which mindfulness is formed as a property of the individual. Usually the cause of global inattention lies in the orientation of children to the general meaning of a text, phrase, word, arithmetic problem or expression - children grasp this meaning and, being content with it, "neglect the particulars." In this regard, the main task of such classes is to overcome this global perception, an attempt to teach how to perceive the content taking into account the elements against the background of the meaning of the whole.

This section provides some exercises for training the basic properties of attention.

Educational games and exercises

1. Exercise "Watch your speech."

In the twenties of the last century, such a game of attention was very popular. The host says: "The lady bought a toilet. There are 100 rubles in the toilet, buy whatever you want," yes "" and "no" do not say, do not buy black and white. And he begins to ask tricky questions, trying to "pull out" forbidden words from the respondent.

Do you want to buy a black dress?
- I want to buy a green dress.
- Does green suit you?
- I just like green velvet.
- Will it be a ball gown?
- Ballroom.
- Does your green dress have to be long?
- Yes(!).

Losing. It was necessary, for example, to say "Of course."

This is a game, on the one hand, to develop the ability to ask psychologically complex, "rainy" questions, thereby diverting the attention of the respondent to thinking about a complex answer from not using forbidden words, and on the other hand, to develop the attention of the answerer to questions.

You can simply agree on which words or parts of speech cannot be spoken and then ask a variety of questions. There should be many questions. This is a blatant test of attention.

For example, these:

Have you had breakfast today? Do you like your hairstyle?
Are you late for class today? Are you left handed? Do you love cinema?
What flowers do you like and what don't you like? Why?

2. Exercise "Forbidden letter".

In this game, everyone will have to watch themselves, so as not to let it slip.

And it is not surprising to let it slip, as we will see in this now.

One of the participants in the game is appointed as the driver. Turning to the players in turn, the leader asks each one a simple question, demanding an immediate answer to it. For example: "How old are you?", "Who do you sit at your desk with?", "What kind of jam do you like?" etc. The one to whom the question is addressed must immediately give any answer, but without using in his phrase the letter, which, by agreement, is declared forbidden. Suppose that the letter "A" is declared prohibited.

Of course, the driver will try to find tricky questions, answering which it would be difficult to do without the letter "A". "What is your name?" And he will ask, say, a comrade whose name is Vanya. It is clear that he cannot give his name. He'll have to get rid of the joke. "Can't remember!" - he will answer, resourcefully bypassing the trap prepared for him. Then the driver with the same unexpected question will turn to another participant in the game.

The game is played at a fast pace, it is not allowed to think for a long time. Hesitated, did not answer immediately, or, confused, used a forbidden letter in his answer, take the place of the driver and ask questions. We will consider the winners of those who have never fallen into the trap and gave quick, resourceful answers.

As a variant of the game, the condition may be the non-pronunciation of the forbidden letter, i.e. it must be replaced in words with any other.

3. Exercise "Hidden clue".

In this game, it is allowed to prompt, although not in the usual way.

We choose the driver and declare him the guesser. Let's ask the guesser to leave the room for a minute or step aside. In the meantime, let's think of a word. This should be a singular noun, consisting of four or five letters, and all the letters in it should be different, for example, "table", "mosquito", "board", "sail", etc. There are many such words, select they won't take long.

The task of the driver is to guess the word we have conceived. Since this is difficult, you will have to help him, that is, to suggest something, but, of course, not directly, but in some indirect way, relying on his quick wits and attention.

Let's assume that the hidden word is "mosquito". It is unknown to the guesser.

Please tell me the first letter, - he addresses the players.

It is his right to demand a hint, and any three participants in the game can prompt, each in his own way.

The first letter of the hidden word is "K".

How can you suggest it without directly naming it?

It is done in this way. Three players alternately pronounce one word at a time, one-syllable or two-syllable, which includes the letter "K". Suppose one calls the word "compass", the other - "marmot", the third - "drop".

In all three words, the letter "K" is repeated.

The guesser will highlight this letter and remember it.

Let's get the second letter! he demands.

Three other players will tell him the second letter, say, with these words: "lesson", "elephant", "mole". Having singled out the letter "O" repeated three times in them, the guesser will also try to remember it.

If the guesser is attentive and does not get confused in our tips, then we will give him the right to appoint a new driver himself in order to continue the game. And if he does not guess the word we have conceived, we will again force him to drive: let him still train his attention.

4. Exercise "Hidden word".

In games, they often look for a hidden object.

But you can hide and find not only objects. In the game with which we will now get acquainted, you will have to look for hidden words. And we will hide them among other words.

In such a game, vigilance of the eye and observation will no longer help, other qualities will be needed: concentration, attention and resourcefulness. The game begins, as usual, with the choice of the driver. We will "hide" the words, he will "look for" them.

Let's ask the driver to leave the room for a while and think of some well-known proverb or line from a familiar poem. Let's say we decide to hide the proverb " Language will bring to Kyiv". Let's break this text into parts: "language", "to Kyiv", "will bring". Why such a breakdown is needed will become clear from the further description of the game.

The driver returns. He is informed that the proverb is "hidden" and that, starting to search for it, he can ask any three questions to any three participants in the game. The driver will understand that the text of the hidden proverb is divided into three parts and that the first person to whom he turns with a question must insert the first part of the hidden text into his response phrase, the second - the second part of the text and the third - the last part of the text.

Let's see how it works out.

"What did you see in your dream today?" - suppose the driver asks one of the participants in the game. Tom needs to enter in his answer the first part of the hidden text - the word "language", but in such a way as to better hide it among other words. He can say: "I saw in a dream that I arrived in a foreign city, went into the dining room, and there they served me such a dish that it was impossible to pronounce its name: you would break your tongue." "Where do lemons grow?" - let's say the driver asks another. He can get away with a joke: "In warm countries and in my grandfather's garden: he lives on a collective farm, twenty kilometers before reaching Kyiv."

The phrase seems to be smooth, but the words "to Kyiv" may make the driver alert and take note of them. To the last question, whatever it may be, one can give an evasive answer: "Don't be so curious, it will not lead to good." And now let the driver guess which proverb we have guessed.

5. Game "What has changed?".

The game is played like this. Small items (eraser, pencil, notebook, match, etc. in the amount of 10-15 pieces) are laid out on the table and covered with a newspaper. Whoever wants to test his powers of observation first, please come to the table! He is offered to familiarize himself with the location of objects within 30 seconds (count up to 30); then he should turn his back to the table, and at this time three or four objects are shifted to other places. Again, 30 seconds are given to inspect the items, after which they are again covered with a sheet of newspaper. Now let's ask the player: what has changed in the arrangement of objects, which of them have been moved?

Don't think that answering this question will always be easy! Answers are scored. For each correctly indicated object, the player is credited with winning 1 point, but for each mistake, 1 point is removed from the number won. An error is considered when an object is named that has not been transferred to another place.

Let's mix our "collection", putting the items in a different order, and call another participant in the game to the table. So one by one, all team members will pass the test.

The conditions of the game for everyone should be the same: if four objects were swapped for the first player, then the same number is shifted for the rest.

In this case, the best result is 4 points won. Everyone who passes the test with such a result will be considered the winners in the game.

6. Exercise "I remember everything" (development of attention and memory).

This fun game can be played by two, three or even four, competing in the ability to memorize words in a given order.

Compliance with this condition is monitored by the judge, who, during the game, keeps a control sheet, writing down the words named by the players. Words are selected on a specific topic, such as the names of cities, the names of plants or animals. Let's say that the theme of the game is the names of cities. Of course, it is better to call cities well-known, they are easier to remember.

So let's start the game. The contestants sit in a circle.

Tula, - says one. The judge immediately writes this word on the control sheet.

The second player, repeating the named city, adds the name of another city to it:

Tula, Poltava.

- Tula, Poltava, Omsk, - announces the third.

If there are three players, then the turn goes back to the first one. He should fill up the list of cities with one more name. For example.

- Tula, Poltava, Omsk, Vladivostok.

So, each time adding one city, the players in their next turn must repeat all the cities named earlier, mentioning them in the same order and not skipping a single one.

At first, this is given relatively easily, but when the list of names steps over a dozen, you involuntarily begin to stumble. And the judge, attributing each newly added word to his control sheet, vigilantly watches if anyone misses at least one of them.

The one who makes a mistake is out of the game.

The rest continue the competition until one of them is the winner.

Divide everyone who wants to take part in this game into threes. In each trio, someone will be the winner. And then arrange the final meeting of the winners for the title of champion in this interesting game.

7. Where is whose house?

Game for development of stability of attention. Offer the child a drawing of seven different little animals, each of which hurries to its own house. Lines connect the animals to their houses. It is necessary to determine where whose house is, without drawing a pencil along the lines. If the task is difficult for the baby, then allow it, but eventually put the pencil aside.

8. Exercises for the development of stability and switching attention.

You can play like this. Give your child different words: table, bed, cup, pencil, bear, fork, etc. The kid listens attentively and claps his hands when he comes across a word denoting, for example, an animal. If the baby is confused, repeat the game from the beginning.

Another time, suggest that the child stand up every time they hear the word for a plant. Then combine the first and second tasks, i.e. the baby claps his hands when he hears words denoting animals, and stands up when pronouncing words denoting a plant. Such and similar exercises develop attentiveness, speed of distribution and switching of attention, and, in addition, expand the horizons and cognitive activity of the child. It is good to play such games with several children, desire, excitement and a prize for the winner will make them even more exciting.

To develop stability of attention, give the child a small text (newspaper, magazine) and offer, looking through each line, to cross out a letter (for example, a). Record the time and number of errors. Record the results on a daily chart and analyze them. Rejoice in success with your child. Then, to train distribution and switch attention, change the task. For example, like this: "In each line, cross out the letter a, and underline the letter p." Or like this: "Cross out the letter a if it is preceded by the letter p, and underline the letter a if it is preceded by the letter n." Record times and errors. Don't forget to praise your baby.

9. Exercise "What has changed?" (development of observation).

Game for training observation. It is best to play with several children. Everyone becomes in one line. The host calls one child and offers to remember the appearance of each participant in the game. This is given 1-2 minutes. After that, the baby turns away or goes into another room. The remaining participants in the game make minor changes to the costume or hairstyle: you can pin a badge or, conversely, remove it, unfasten or fasten a button, change places with each other, change your hairstyle, etc. Then the memorizer should name those changes in the costumes of his comrades that he managed to notice.

If you do not have the opportunity to gather a large company, you can modify this exciting game: lay out 10 objects on the table in front of the child, ask him to turn away and at this moment change the arrangement of the objects. Then offer to answer what has changed.

10. Pictures "Find the difference".

All children enjoy looking at pictures. You can combine the useful with the pleasant. Invite the child to look at the pictures, where, for example, two gnomes (or two kittens, or two fish) are depicted. At first glance, they are exactly the same. But, looking more closely, you can see that this is not the case. Let the child try to spot the differences. You can also pick up a few pictures with ridiculous content and ask the child to find inconsistencies.

11. Exercise "Color your soulmate."

There are also such exercises for the development of concentration. You need to prepare several half-colored pictures. And the kid should color the second half of the picture in the same way as the first half was painted. This task can be complicated by inviting the child to first draw the second half of the picture, and then color it. (It can be a butterfly, a dragonfly, a house, a Christmas tree, etc.).

12. Exercise "Digital table".

Show the child a table with a set of numbers from 1 to 25, which are arranged in random order. But first, make sure the baby knows all these numbers. Tell him: "Try as quickly as possible to find, show and say aloud the numbers from 1 to 25." Most children 5-7 years old complete this task in 1.5-2 minutes and almost without errors.

1 10 11 18 7 16 20 3 14 22 2 25 9 13 24 12 5 21 4 17 19 23 15 6 8

Another version of this game: prepare a table with 25 cells, on which the numbers from 1 to 35 are randomly written, 10 of which are missing. Ask the child to find and show all the numbers in a row, and write down the missing numbers (if he cannot write down the numbers, then just let him call them to you). Record the time it took the child to complete this task.

If these exercises turned out to be difficult for a son or daughter, make a simpler table, for example, from 9 cells.

13. A bird is not a bird.

A fun game for the attention and knowledge of birds.

An adult reads poetry. The task of the children is to listen carefully and, if a word is heard that means not a bird, give a signal - stomp or clap. Be sure to ask the child what is wrong. Specify:
"And the fly - who is this?"

The birds have arrived:
Pigeons, tits,
Flies and swifts...

and thanks for the joke!

14. A cow flew.

There must be at least three players. Everyone sits in a circle and, turning their right hand palm down, and the left hand palm up, connect their palms with the palms of their neighbors. In turn, they pronounce the word of the verse, clapping the palm of the right neighbor in time with the word:

The cow flew, said the word.
What word did the cow say?

Whoever gets the turn to answer, calls any word, for example, "grass". His neighbor, along with cotton, says the first letter of this word - "t", the next - the second, and so on until the end of the word, until the last "a". The task of the last player is not to gape and have time to remove his hand from under the final clap.

15. Top clap.

Game for the development of attention, memory.

The leader pronounces phrases-concepts - correct and incorrect.
If the expression is correct, the children clap, if not correct, they stomp.

Examples: " It always snows in summer". "Potatoes are eaten raw". "Crow is a migratory bird". It is clear that the older the children, the more complex the concepts should be.

16. The game "Button".

Two people are playing. In front of them are two identical sets of buttons, in each of which not a single button is repeated. Each player has a playing field - it is a square divided into cells. The starter of the game puts 3 buttons on his field, the second player must look and remember where which button lies. After that, the first player covers his playing field with a piece of paper, and the second must repeat the same arrangement of buttons on his field.

The more cells and buttons are used in the game, the more difficult the game becomes.
The same game can be used to work on the development of memory, spatial perception and thinking.

17. The game "Little bug".

"Now we will play such a game. You see, in front of you is a field drawn into cells. A beetle is crawling across this field. The beetle moves on command. It can move down, up, right, left. I will dictate moves to you, and you will move the beetle in the right direction across the field.Do it mentally.You cannot draw or move your finger across the field!

Attention? We started. One cell up, one cell to the left. One cell down. One cell to the left. One cell down. Show me where the beetle stopped."

(If the child finds it difficult to complete the task mentally, then at first you can let him show with his finger each movement of the beetle, or make a beetle and move it around the field. It is important that as a result the child learns to mentally navigate in the cell field).

Tasks for the beetle can come up with a variety of. When the field of 16 cells is mastered, move on to moving along the field of 25, 36 cells, complicate the tasks with moves: 2 cells obliquely to the right and down, 3 cells to the left, etc.

18. An exercise aimed at increasing the level of distribution of attention
(ability to do several things at the same time).

Read a little sentence aloud. Reading is accompanied by a soft tapping of a pencil on the table. Children must memorize the text and count the number of strokes.

You can conduct this exercise as a competition: whoever counted correctly, he won. Winners receive, for example, a red circle. Since it is better to play several times in a lesson, the calculation of winnings is carried out at the end of the lesson, and the winners are somehow encouraged.

In the process of classes, the number of sentences used in the text increases.

19. Exercise for the distribution of attention.

The exercise is aimed at developing the child's ability to perform two different actions at the same time.

a) The child draws circles in a notebook and at the same time counts the claps with which the adult accompanies the drawing. Task execution time - 1 min.

The number of circles and the counted number of strokes are counted. The more circles are drawn and the claps are counted correctly, the higher the score.

b) The task is similar to the previous one. Within 1 minute, you need to simultaneously draw with two hands: left - circles, right - triangles. At the end, the number of drawn triangles and circles is counted.

(Triangles with "rounded" vertices do not count, as do circles with "corners". The child's task is to draw as many triangles and circles as possible.)

Parents can invent tasks of this type themselves. It can be drawing and oral solution of simple examples; writing down words and listening to a piece of a poem, etc. It is important to form such a quality as noise immunity in a child.

20. Exercise to increase the concentration of auditory attention.

For this, it is very convenient to conduct arithmetic dictations, however, the point of the exercise is that each task consists of several actions.

For example, the teacher says:

1 class- "Two numbers are given: 6 and 3 ... Add the first number and the second ... and subtract from the resulting number
2... Then subtract 4 more... Write!.." (Answer: 3)

"Two numbers are given: 15 and 23 ... Add the first digit of the second number to the first digit of the first number ... subtract 2 from the resulting number, and now add 7 ... Write! .." (answer: 8)

Grade 2- "Two numbers are given: 27 and 32 ... Multiply the first digit of the second number by the first digit of the first
number ... and subtract the second digit of the second number from the resulting product ... Write! .. " (answer: 4)

"Two numbers are given: 82 ... and 68 ... To the first digit of the second number, add the second digit of the first number ... and divide the resulting amount by 4 ... Write! .." (answer: 2)

3rd grade- "Two numbers are given: 54 and 26 ... To the second digit of the first number, add the second digit of the second
numbers ... and divide the resulting amount by the first digit of the second number ... Write! .. " (answer: 5)

"Two numbers are given: 56 and 92 ... Divide the second digit of the first number by the second digit of the second number ... Multiply the resulting quotient by the first digit of the second number ... Write! .." (answer: 27)

In such exercises, you can introduce a game moment: a magician and a magician who can guess numbers: "Think of a number ... add 5 to it, now subtract 2 ... subtract the number you thought of ... and multiply the resulting difference by 4 ... You did it..."

The above exercises allow you to hold and concentrate attention, and the data obtained may indicate a slow inclusion in the work (with the wrong solution of the first tasks and the correct solution of subsequent ones) or a rapid exhaustion of attention, an inability to maintain its concentration (with the correct solution of the first tasks and the incorrect solution of subsequent ones) which allows the teacher to adjust his work depending on the results obtained.

21. Exercise for concentration and stability of attention.

Students are asked to rewrite the following lines without errors:

a) AMMADAMA REBERGE ASSAMASA
GESCLALLA ESANESSAS DETALLATA

B) ENALSSTADE ENADSLAT

O) OSTIMARE

22. Exercise "Follow the pattern" (training concentration).

The exercise includes the task of drawing quite complex, but repetitive patterns.
Each of the patterns requires increased attention of the child, because. requires him to perform several sequential actions:

a) analysis of each element of the pattern;
b) correct reproduction of each element;
c) maintaining the sequence for a long time.

When performing tasks of this kind, it is important not only how accurately the child reproduces the pattern (concentration of attention), but also how long he can work without errors. Therefore, each time try to gradually increase the execution time of one pattern. 5 minutes is enough to get started.

After the "cell" patterns are mastered, move on to more complex patterns on a clean sheet.

To perform this kind of tasks, it is convenient to make forms in advance with a different number of rows of circles, triangles or squares. Forms can be represented by a mixed set of figures. For example, a series of squares, a series of circles, a series of triangles, etc.

The task can be supplemented by asking the child to check the correctness of the pattern and correct the mistakes.

23. An exercise aimed at training the switching of attention.

To train attention switching, exercises based on the Red-Black Tables test are used.

For the lesson, tables with numbers in black and red are used, the order of which is constantly changing. The order of work remains unchanged:

Stage 1- consider the table and find in order all the black numbers from 1 to 12;
Stage 2- look at the table and find all the red numbers in reverse order from 12 to 1;
Stage 3- you need to alternately search for black numbers in direct order from 1 to 12, and red numbers in reverse order from 12 to 1.

After the child has satisfactory results on the number of digits proposed above, their number can be increased first to 16 (both of them), and then to 24 (i.e. black - from 1 to 24, red - from 24 to one).

The same task can be modified by replacing the numbers with letters. For example, black letters must be written in alphabetical order, and red letters must be written in reverse. Since this task is more difficult than the previous ones, it is advisable to use it after the children learn to cope well with numerical options, while the table itself should consist of no more than 9-16 cells (i.e. the number of black letters does not exceed 8, and the number of red - 7).

When children achieve significant success in working with the tables described above, the task can be complicated.

Children should find red and black numbers alternately on the table offered to them and write down only the letters corresponding to these numbers, and red numbers must be found in descending order, and black numbers in ascending order. The first proposed tables should contain no more than 13 black pairs of numbers - letters and 12 red pairs of numbers - letters. The work goes like this:

Red number 12, write the letter R, then black number 1, write the letter B, then red number 11, write the letter I, black number 2, write the letter H ...
With the successful work of children, the number of pairs can be increased to 24 red pairs of numbers - letters and 24 black pairs of numbers - letters.

a car prsyu the Rose encid heat mylrt bag ldchev a fish th 25. Exercise "Correction test" (development of the ability to analyze written words). This exercise is aimed at developing the ability to analyze written words, "see" the letters in them, and as a result, form attentiveness. It is a game that basically has a "correction test" test. For her, old books with large print, suitable only for waste paper, are taken. Within 5 minutes (only 5), children are invited to cross out all the letters "a" that they meet. At the same time, it is agreed that if the guys miss more than four letters, then they lose, four or fewer gaps win. Winners receive, for example, green chips. Since it is better to play every day, it is better to count the winnings once a week, and the winners are rewarded with something... The tasks are checked by the guys themselves - a neighbor by a neighbor. If they do not notice any gaps, although at this age children are more partial to other people's work than to their own, then it does not matter, the main thing is that for several minutes the child will be in a state of concentration. Then the game can be made more difficult. For example, cross out in each line the letter that comes first in it: The next step is to cross out one letter in the line and underline the other. For example, "e" is crossed out, and the letter "m" is underlined. Another option: "First we underline one letter, and cross out the other, then on command:" Attention! "The work goes the other way - we cross out the first one, and underline the second one." For example, "The 1st part of the work: "C" - underline, "O" - cross out, on command: "Attention!"" A line is drawn and the 2nd part of the work begins: now we cross out the letter "C", and the letter "O "- emphasize". Attention! 26. Exercise for the formation of mindfulness among students at school. A similar exercise can be carried out on educational material by offering students a grammatical analysis of several texts. In the text, it is necessary to underline nouns with one line, and adjectives - with two, then at the command "Attention!" - on the contrary: nouns - two, and adjectives - one. For example: An analysis of the results shows that after some time of using such exercise games, the teacher's call to "be attentive" can cause a state of concentration in children. Simultaneously with the introduction of such game exercises, the child's attitude to reading a Russian language textbook should be changed. Children are taught that the exercises in the textbook of the Russian language, unlike the "Native Speech", must be read aloud as it is written (naming unpronounceable consonants, punctuation marks, etc.). When checking a completed task by a child, it should be emphasized that what is written must be read aloud and as if it was written by someone else - "another girl", "a poorly trained puppy." Practice shows that elementary school students with great interest and diligence relate to such classes, in which the formation of attention, organization is set as a special educational task.
