Play doctor
Nothing human is alien to medical workers, including the passion for computer games. 80% of American medical school students even believe that games “about doctors” have educational value. They are echoed by Russian specialists - last year they borrowed the SCA Life simulation program from their European colleagues, which helps to practice first aid skills for cardiac diseases.
Of course, people who, for one reason or another, did not go to study to become doctors, do not need specialized training programs. But the romance of white coats and selfless struggle for the life of a patient is so popular among ordinary people that serious corporations specializing in virtual entertainment for adults are developing computer games that are in one way or another related to medicine.
Didactic game “Who needs what for work”
The game introduces preschoolers to specialists in various professions: policeman, builder, fireman, doctor, school teacher, salesman, cook, kindergarten teacher, artist, traffic controller.
For the lesson, you need to prepare large A5 size cards depicting representatives of the above professions. You also need to make smaller pictures, approximately 10x10 cm, depicting the objects and tools used by the represented specialists. The number of pictures is arbitrary.
You can play in several ways:
- Game for one player or a subgroup of 1-3 people. The presenter shows a card with a picture of the employee. Players select pictures with the tools that this specialist uses and give reasons for each of their choices. In a subgroup lesson, the player who makes the fewest mistakes wins.
- Game for a group. The presenter distributes cards with representatives of professions to the players. Then he shows pictures of objects one by one. The child, having guessed that this instrument is suitable for his specialist, picks up his card and explains the choice in detail.
- Individual game. The player takes any card he likes depicting an employee and talks in detail about the profession. Next, he selects pictures of the tools that the described specialist uses.
