Target. Continue introducing children to the LEGO DACTA construction set, the shape of LEGO parts that look like bricks, and options for their fastenings. Start of compiling the LEGO dictionary. Develop the skill of distinguishing parts in a box and the ability to listen to the teacher’s instructions.
Equipment. LEGO bricks from sets.
Progress of the lesson
1. Organizing moment
LEGO friend. Hello guys! Do you already know what it is?
Children. This is LEGO.
LEGO friend. Today we will get to know him further. What did you learn about him in the last lesson?
Children's answers.
Game "Magic Color"
Children sit near a box with LEGO and, on the instructions of a LEGO friend, quickly find bricks of a given color. The tasks can be different, for example, “Who is the first?” Boys quickly find 2 blue bricks, and girls - 2 red ones. Boys find red and yellow bricks, girls find green and yellow, etc.
2. Introduction to bricks
LEGO friend. We have already learned everything about the color of LEGO parts, and now we are learning secrets about their shape. Guys, here are LEGO parts. Look what they look like.
Children. On bricks.
LEGO friend. Are the bricks the same or different in some way? How?
Children's answers.
LEGO friend. Look guys, each brick has these attachments that hold together tightly when you connect them. Think about what you can call them? What do they remind you of?
Children's answers: buttons, wells, buckets, circles, etc.
LEGO friend. Let's count how many buttons there are on LEGO bricks.
Children, together with a LEGO friend, count the buttons on LEGO pieces horizontally and vertically.
Thus, children, together with a LEGO friend, look at 4 types of bricks: 2x2, 2x4, 2x6, 2x8.
LEGO friend. Guys, these are magic good bricks. You and I learned that they are all different, they have buttons that fasten one brick to another. You can play with them and make different buildings. They must be handled very carefully, then you yourself will become wizards.
Brick loves affection!
Then you will build a fairy tale!
3. Graphic exercises
An assignment from a LEGO friend.
Game "Designer"
Children are offered strips of paper of various lengths.
LEGO friend. We will be designers, we will come up with various fastenings of LEGO elements. Draw your options for fastening LEGO parts on these strips.
4. Game to develop orientation in LEGO parts
It is carried out in front of a box with LEGO parts.
LEGO friend. Guys, close your eyes, and now open them. Look what brick I found, name it. Now find him. Who's the first?
5. Introduction to fastening options
Game "Staplers"
LEGO friend. Listen to my task. Take one brick with your right hand. And now with your left hand another brick. What a great fellow you are! Now connect them. Happened? Are your bricks holding tightly? Now think about how else you can fasten two bricks - 2x2 and 2x2, 2x4 and 2x4, 2x2 and 2x4, etc.
In the process of fastenings, which the children try themselves, it is necessary to clarify which fastenings will be the strongest, and which ones will not be very strong, etc. The teacher shows those fastening options that the children could not understand themselves, and be sure to draw attention to the fact that the child I made the discovery myself - a fastening option.
6. Clarification of options for impossible fastenings
Game "Unfastened"
The principle of action is the same as in the game “Staples”, i.e. the children themselves show the options to the teacher or LEGO friend. The speech therapist (LEGO friend) shows those options that the children could not understand on their own, and always pays attention (praise) to the fact that the child himself made a discovery - an option for an impossible connection.
Teacher. A LEGO friend was given a task at a toy factory: to determine how parts should not be fastened together, but he could not solve it. Help him.
7. Classification
It is carried out similarly to the classification of parts by color. Only now children must build towers (walls, stairs, etc.) from LEGO bricks, focusing on size. For example, they build towers with 2x2 bricks, or a wall with 2x4 bricks, etc.
8. Constructive play activities and children's speech development
Teacher. Guys, let's make a gift for our mothers now. But first, let's think about what we will do. A LEGO friend has prepared a new pattern for you.
Analysis of the diagram and children's answers.
9. Bottom line
LEGO friend. You are so great! You played so well and learned so many new things. What else have you learned about LEGO in our magical land?
Children's answers.
