Each chip is a round medallion icon with the emblem of the city.
Guidelines for the game
Preliminary work with children must be carried out. It is necessary to talk about the history of the city, about different time stages in its development, about significant events. It is also useful to study the map, mark the city center and main attractions on it. Show how the appearance of the city has changed over time, what the same iconic places for the city look like in different years.
All photographic materials that will form the basis of the printed board game must be studied in advance with the children. After all the materials have been studied, you can begin gaming activities. The game should begin under the guidance of an adult; later, as children master it, they can play independently.
All materials for the game should be located in relation to the players so that they are clearly visible and convenient to use, so it is better to play the game at the table.
Progress of the game
Number of players: subgroup of children from 2 to 8 people.
Children sit down so that everyone can clearly see and conveniently reach and choose a card. The teacher gives each player his own playing field-card with an image of Volgograd at a specific historical time. Children carefully study the picture. Then, independently or with the help of a teacher, they choose a card that depicts the same place in modern times, insert the card into the pocket, comparing one of the three pictures with the card field, and explain their choice.
For a correctly completed task, a participant in the didactic game “My Hometown!” gets a chip. And then he can take another card field for himself. The game ends when all the children have completed the task and there are no free card fields left. The one with the most chips wins. The game can be played several times. When all the children begin to cope with the task easily, the game can be complicated. Invite children (one player or group) to compose a story based on the image.
While using the game “My Hometown!” Children's activities can be organized independently or collectively, with a subgroup of children. Didactic material can be used directly in gaming activities or offered during educational activities (on the topics: development of cognitive and research activities, familiarization with the phenomena of social life). The game helps stimulate children's cognitive interest in the history of their homeland, forms cognitive culture and patriotic consciousness. The didactic material of the game is appropriate for the age of the children and is practical to use when working with children.
