Didactic games on ecology

Let's save nature

The purpose of the didactic game on ecology is to form in preschoolers an understanding of why it is important to love and protect nature. For the lesson, you need to prepare cards depicting objects of inanimate and living nature.

Having laid out the cards on the table, you need to remove one. And the students must tell what will happen to the rest of the natural objects if the removed object disappears. What will happen on the planet if “trees”, “sun”, “insects” and so on disappear (remove cards one by one).

At the end of the game, the teacher must explain to the children that natural objects are interconnected and cannot exist without each other. Therefore, they all need to be protected.

For the word: “water” - an inhabitant of rivers, seas, lakes and oceans, for the word: “earth” - an animal that lives on earth, etc. "Natural and man-made world." Didactic task: to consolidate and systematize children’s knowledge about what nature gives to humans, what is created by human hands. Materials: ball.

3. Before the game, the teacher clarifies the children’s knowledge that the objects around us are made by human hands, or exist in nature, people use them; for example, forests, coal, oil, gas exist in nature, but houses and factories are created by humans. "What is made by man"? asks the teacher and throws the ball. “What is created by nature”? asks the teacher and throws the ball. Children catch the ball and answer the question. Those who cannot remember miss their turn. “Miracles in a bag” Didactic task: to teach children to describe objects perceived by touch, to guess them by their characteristic features. Materials: vegetables and fruits of characteristic shapes and varying densities: onions, beets, tomatoes, plums, apples, pears, etc. The teacher offers to take an object out of the bag, without immediately pulling it out, but after feeling it, name its characteristic features.

5 “Do you know plants” Didactic task: Find a plant by its name. The teacher names a houseplant, and the children must find it. The teacher gives a task to all children: “Who will quickly find the plant in our group room that I name?” Then asks some children to complete the task. If it is difficult for children to find the named plant in a large area of the room among many others, the game can be played by analogy with the previous ones, that is, the selected plants can be placed on the table. Then finding a plant in the room will become a more complicated version of the game. “Red, yellow, green” Didactic task: Find an object by similarity. Rule: Raise the piece of paper after the teacher names and shows it. Equipment: The game is played while walking. Select identical bouquets from 3-4 different leaves.

6 The teacher distributes bouquets to the children and keeps the same one for himself. Then he shows them some leaf, for example a maple one, and suggests: “One, two, three - show me this leaf!” Children raise their hand with a maple leaf. The game is repeated several times with the remaining leaves of the bouquet. “Where is whose house?” Didactic task: to consolidate children’s knowledge of animals and their homes in nature (insects, animals, amphibians, birds). Material: a tablet on which, on one side, various animals are depicted, and on the other, their homes, for example: a hole, a den, a beehive, a birdhouse, a nest. In the envelope on the back of the tablet there are arrows indicating the number of animals. Two or more children take part in the game. They take turns finding the animal on offer and using an arrow to identify its home. If the game actions are performed correctly, the child receives a chip. If the answer is incorrect, the move goes to the next player. The one who has the most chips at the end of the game wins.

Material: a tablet on which different types of food for different animals are placed in a circle. There is a moving arrow in its center, and cards with illustrations of animals are placed in the envelope on the reverse side. The game involves two or more children. One by one, according to the teacher’s riddle, the children find the corresponding picture of the animal and use the arrow to indicate the type of food it eats. For the correct answer - a chip. The one who has the most chips at the end of the game wins. “What first, what then?” Didactic task: to consolidate children’s knowledge about the main stages of development and growth of living organisms (animals, plants, humans). Material: a set of cards on which the stages of development and growth of plants or animals (dandelion, peas, strawberries, frogs, butterflies, etc.), as well as humans (infancy, childhood, adolescence, adolescence, maturity, old age) are recorded. Option 1. The child is asked to arrange the cards in order of growth and development of a living creature (for example, cabbage butterfly: egg - caterpillar - pupa - butterfly) and tell what happened first and what came next. Option 2.

8 The teacher lays out the cards, deliberately making a mistake in their order. Children must correct her and explain the correctness of their decision.

Make a chain

"Mysterious men"

Program content.

Introduce children to the fact that water can be in a solid, liquid, or gaseous state. Learn to build a model of any specific object or even a plot using “little men”.

Give children knowledge about inanimate nature and elements of physics. To develop in children such qualities as inquisitiveness, curiosity, mental activity and imagination.

Material.

Cards depicting water in various states of aggregation (solid, liquid and gaseous) - ice, snowflake, juice, milk, steam; cards with images of “human” models characterizing states of aggregation - (demonstration and handout).

Progress of the game.

The game can be played by 3-5 people.

The teacher offers the children a set of cards depicting models of men that symbolize the state of water: liquid, solid and gaseous. And also cards with images of various objects: ice, water, snowflakes, steam, a glass of juice, orange, etc. Explains that any object can be depicted schematically, using models.

The teacher invites the children to find all solid objects. Why are these objects hard? What's inside them? Little people live inside every solid object. They hold hands tightly so that nothing gets through.

Then the teacher suggests finding liquid substances that flow: water, compote, etc. Little people also live in liquid. They keep their hands on their waists, but touch each other with their elbows. That is, they hold their hands so that solid objects can pass through the water.

Gaseous substances - smoke, steam, air. Little people live here too. But they seem to fly, constantly in motion.

With the help of little men, teach children the elements of modeling, i.e. teach children to build a model of any specific object or plot: a model of a glass of juice, a model of an orange, a model of steam, etc.

Edible-inedible

The purpose of the didactic game is to teach preschoolers to distinguish between edible and inedible mushrooms. This activity requires pictures of mushrooms and a basket.

The teacher asks a riddle about a mushroom. Children guess and find the image among the pictures. If the mushroom is edible, put the picture in the basket.

Teaching ecology in a playful way arouses interest in children, develops curiosity, thinking ability and desire to understand the world around them, and broadens their horizons. Preschoolers consolidate knowledge about the world around them and gain an understanding of the relationships between natural objects and phenomena.
