Relevance. LEGO construction and educational robotics are among the most effective innovative technologies for developing technical thinking in preschool children.
LEGO constructors have high educational capabilities, versatility, high aesthetic characteristics, provide an opportunity to introduce students to technical creativity, contribute to the formation of the inclinations of engineering and technical thinking, the development of attention, imagination, memory, thinking, communication skills, the formation of coherent speech, and the enrichment of vocabulary .
Robotics in kindergarten is not just a design activity, but a powerful, innovative educational tool. Combining elements of play and experimentation, it promotes the development of technical creativity and the formation of scientific and technical professional orientation in children of middle preschool age.
Target:
Developing children's ability to visually model through LEGO construction sets. Development of technical creativity and the formation of scientific and technical orientation in children of middle preschool age using the LEGO constructor and the HUNA Kicky constructor (Kicky Junior and Kicky Senior, Education series. Lego Mindstorms Education, Lego Duplo, Lego City, Lego Bionicle, Lego Ninyago, Lego Friends
Tasks:
Educational:
Develop visual and spatial perception; develop visual and effective thinking.
Educational:
intensify attention aimed at continuing the design of the building; promote the ability to carry out elementary analysis of objects, highlight the whole and parts; convey the characteristic features of the building, based on the diagram. Strengthen children’s ability to build according to a model. Freely think and fantasize.
To form primary ideas about design and robotics, and to develop children’s coherent speech.
Educators:
To educate children in the ability to work in a team of peers, helping each other in joint construction.
The product of the project was the joint construction of the city of Legoland, the city of the future, in which, according to our students, only happy Legomen will live.
Material: gel balloons 6 pcs.; presentation for the lesson (recording of a phone call, Raven’s message, video exercise with lego men, video presentation “Types of Lego”, photo of an amusement park, slide with a hint, etc.). LEGO - men, LEGO for building magic
Ship, Legokorol (cornival costume); model of an amusement park (with walls and areas for attractions), robot; individual sets with construction kit parts for attractions, building samples for children, diagrams for each child. Sets of Lego constructors of different types for showing children: “Lego education”, Lego We Do, Lego Mindstorms Education), Lego Duplo, Lego City, Lego Bionicle, Lego Ninyago, Lego Friends, etc.)
The teacher meets the children, inviting them to go to the carpet. The phone rings. Raven's video message to the guys is turned on.
Crow:
- Hello guys! I am the General Manager of Travel. I have an order for you from the people of Legoland. The evil wizard Ogel stole the smiles of the Lego people and destroyed all the rides in their favorite magical amusement park. The Lego people ask you to visit their country and help renovate the park. If the rides are repaired, the evil spell will be broken and smiles will return to the Lego residents. HURRY TO HELP!
Teacher:
- Guys, did you understand everything that Raven said? From whom did he have an order?
What happened at Legoland? What are the residents asking for?
- Guys, you agree to help LEGO people. They are so interesting and unusual
- To help them we need to go there.
- Do you agree? How to get there? (Children's answer options)
“And I propose to build a boat, but not a simple one, but a magical one.” How is she unusual?
It consists of LEGO parts.
Find the right brick
LEGO boat - build a country.
Educational game "Magic Boat"
Teacher:
— To build a boat, you need to follow certain rules: first, each of you, in turn, will come up and select only 1 brick. The bricks must be different: different either in color or in size. I'll start building and lay the first brick piece. Now you must continue building the magic boat. But be careful!
Let's say the magic words:
One two Three,
Build a boat in LEGO - a country
- Now let's start building the boat. I'm laying the first brick. Who has the right ones? (helps to match parts by color or size.)
- Is your brick similar to mine? By color or size?
- Why did you put this brick up?
— Have you all placed your bricks? Is the boat ready?
“So that no one gets lost on the way, let’s cling tightly with our little fingers, like LEGO pieces.”
- We can hit the road. We will now say the magic words:
Take your friends with you.
And get into LEGO - the country.
The music of the sea is turned on.
Teacher:
We are with you in LEGO LAND.
Look, His Majesty the Legion King greets us. And here is the amusement park (they go to the table with the park
). Let's hurry to him!
- Look how wonderful and noisy it once was! I see a wonderful steam locomotive, which probably had fun riding legomen, and an attraction with carousels, which are really destroyed. Do I need to restore them? How to do this?
- Let's look at what they are made of? (Children's answers: from parts of different construction sets)
Teacher:
- That's right, guys. Please note that the walls of the house are built from the construction kit you are familiar with. And the attraction, steam locomotive and carousel are made from an unusual construction set. I will now introduce you to the types of these constructors.
Presentation “Types of constructor”
(constructor “First Mechanisms”, construction set “Simple Mechanisms”, educational robotics construction set (Lego Mindstorms Education), Lego Duplo, Lego City, Lego Bionicle, Lego Ninyago, Lego Friends)
Teacher:
- Now let's rest... Raise your eyes up... and look at the Lego exercises that the Lego men sent us.
Exercise for the eyes.
(Showing video of eye exercises)
(Eyes up, down, right, left, opened wide in surprise, closed their eyes tightly, blinked.)
Details, details,
You are not tired of sleeping.
This morning
It's time for us to build.
We are starting renovations.
- Now we need to break into pairs. To do this, select the legomen who will relax in this park. Have you chosen?
R
-No. Lego men are broken. We need to fix them.
P
- Guys, let’s quickly fix them... Well, they’re fine again.
Teacher:
To proceed to the next task you need to solve the riddle.
Drinks gasoline like milk, can run far. Carries goods and people. You know her, of course?
-We can start building the car.
-Well done guys, you completed this task too.
-And here are the carousels that the evil wizard Ogel broke. Let's fix them guys? Can we? ( Children's answers)
-Now each of the pairs will take one broken carousel. Containers with parts are on the tables, and there are also drawings from which everything can be restored. Select the blueprints of your model, stand two at a table, analyze the level of malfunction of the carousel and begin repairs.
(Work in pairs: providing assistance by showing, additional explanation, support, approval.)
— The carousels are fixed! We need to seat and ride Lego men.
We have collected little people and a carousel machine, let's think about what else our little people need. Where does he live? Where is he walking?
What do our little people need? (house, park, playgrounds, etc.)
.Teacher:
- Well done boys! The attraction and carousels have been repaired, which means we are already getting closer to bringing smiles and good mood back to Lego residents. Leave everything at your workstations for now. I see that you are a little tired, let's rest.
Physical school
(The video on the screen turns on, the children repeat the movements after the Lego men)
Teacher:
— Have you rested?
It was not in vain that we repaired the attractions,
Let's continue the good deeds?
Now let's come to our amusement park. Lego robots remained unrepaired (I pick them up). Reasoning: So, the details seem to be all in place. But why doesn't he go? What do you guys think? (Children's answers).
- Let's turn to the tip of the Lego residents, they sent us a video presentation in which there is a circuit for fixing the robot. Attention to the screen.
(Presentation show)
Teacher:
We will use conditional algorithms. In order for the robot to make informed decisions, certain conditions must be used. A conditional algorithm is an algorithm in which, depending on the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of some condition, either one or another sequence of actions is performed. For EV3 robots, a condition often compares the value of a sensor and, depending on whether the condition is met, a set of necessary commands is executed. Let's analyze the operation of a conditional algorithm using the example of programming the Shy Dog robot. Algori
If we get very close to the robot, it moves away from us “afraid that we will hit it.” If we move too far, he follows us “scared, left alone”
(inclusion of the presentation, and your own explanation that in order for the robot to move, you need to make noise. Or put an obstacle. Tell why.
Teacher:
- Well done boys! You have understood the clue and will find it.
(the teacher tells how the model works, the child activates the robot).
Teacher:
—
Let me put it in the right place.
Everything is ready, let's try to launch our robot (the robot is moving).
— Guys, the robot assistant has left and I feel that good mood and smiles are returning to the Lego residents. Let's say the magic words to completely dispel their bad mood:
We are with intelligence and intelligence
We build everything differently.
This is how it happens in LEGO country -
Everything we love comes to life.
- Well done boys! You are great masters and good wizards! The evil spell has left Legoland and joyful laughter can be heard everywhere! Why do you think? How did you help the residents today? Or maybe you remember the names of the designers you worked with?
Thrive LEGO Country
And it's time for us to return home.
— The Lego King says thank you and gives you a magic ball. With it you will quickly get from the magical Lego land back to yourself. Thank you guys! You can be relied on, you will always help.
Look, we have a whole city. You showed me and the guests that you are real builders. Look how well done you are, today you showed your skills, creativity, fantasy, imagination. Let's say goodbye to everyone.

Educator:
Tell me, what do you know about football?
Children:
World Football Day is celebrated on December 10th. Football is played by 11 people, there is a goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders and forwards, and fans.
Educator:
A football match is a very interesting and exciting spectacle. It’s not for nothing that football is called the game of millions. Some of our guys are on the street, while walking, football battles unfold. Football players must be very resilient to be on the move throughout the match.
There is a picture of a goalkeeper on the slide.
Educator:
Guys, who is that in the picture?
Children:
Goalkeeper.
Educator:
What should a goalkeeper do?
Children:
Catch balls so as not to miss goals.
Educator:
Is it easy to be a goalkeeper? Now I suggest you play mini-football. But in order not to lose in football, I suggest you build a model of a goalkeeper and play with him.
Educator:
So, you and I will again work with the LEGO constructor in our “Lego Planet” circle and assemble a goalkeeper who will move right and left, protecting the goal from the ball. Let's set it in motion using a computer program.
