Author: Elena Mikhailovna Smolnikova, teacher of the highest qualification category at the Children's Development Center - Kindergarten No. 272 (Perm).
Goal: to activate and enrich the experience of children solving cognitive-game tasks on the formation of sets of objects (geometric three-dimensional figures) on various grounds.
Didactic tasks : updating children's ideas about the essential and additional features of volumetric geometric shapes and their standards; children’s game-creative skills (modification of structural elements (rules), enrich the experience of game interaction, develop a conscious attitude to game rules and reflexive skills.
Game task: win a competition with peers (by quickly and correctly carrying out all game actions and rules).
Didactic rules: choose the right base for a prism, correlate the shape and size of a geometric body and a plane geometric figure (prism base). Choose the right base for the prism, match the shape and size, and decorate the Christmas tree with a toy of a similar shape.
Game rules: you can start completing a task only after the leader’s command, the task must be completed, following the rules, you can help another when you have completed your task, the team that decorates the Christmas tree faster and correctly wins.

Progress of the game:
Option 1.
The children and the teacher sit on a carpet on which triangles and squares are glued.
Educator: What holiday are we looking forward to? It’s so beautiful in your garden, you’re waiting for Santa Claus. Santa Claus will come, and how affectionately will he call you? So he will call me Elena Mikhailovna. And what will Santa Claus affectionately call you? And you? The teacher gets to know the children.
— Who is the main guest at the New Year? I'll tell you a riddle, and you tell me.
Riddle about the Christmas tree.
Educator: The New Year has not yet come, and our music room has not yet been decorated. There is no Christmas tree. But you and I can hurry up the holiday. Look what I brought you. (Takes it out). These are Christmas trees, but not ordinary ones. They are from the land of geometry. How did you know these were Christmas trees? No needles, no branches.
Children: They look like Christmas trees in color and shape.
Educator: Is there anything different between them? Not similar? How are they different from each other?
Children: Different shapes.
Educator: That's right, one tree looks like a cone, you could say its edges are smooth, without corners. And this? What kind of figure does it look like? This figure is called a pyramid. It has edges and corners. Can these trees be called New Year's trees?
Children: No.
Educator: Why? (Not decorated). What should we do to make them happy?
Children: Decorate.
Educator: You have many different games in your group, some you play with: shopping, traveling, and with some you play on tables - these are games with rules. But, probably, you don’t have a New Year’s game with rules in your group. You can, of course, buy it in a store, but maybe they don’t sell it there. Can we come up with our own idea and try it? Our game, as you may have guessed, will be about New Year trees, which must first be decorated.
— What do they decorate Christmas trees with?
Children: Toys.
Educator: I invite you to the New Year's workshop. There are no ready-made toys, but I have this, but I don’t know if it’s possible to decorate a Christmas tree with this. I want to consult with you. (Takes out a tray with geometric shapes). What is this? Figures, what kind of figure is this? (Volume circle. Ball). (He examines it and lets the children examine it.) Name all the available figures. How do you know which pyramid it is?
Children: Count the angles at the base of the prism.
Educator: The base is what the prism stands on. Can these figures be turned into colorful multi-colored decorations for the Christmas tree? (Yes). How? What can we do?
Children: Decorate.
Educator: I have material that will help you make funny painted New Year's toys for the Christmas tree from these transparent shapes. It can be placed in molds and closed with a lid. Tell me, will any lid work? I have many caps of different shapes, let's check whether I need to carefully choose a cap for the prism, or can I take any? (Check 2-3).
“We will be craftsmen ourselves, we will make Christmas tree decorations, but we decided to come up with a game.” What kind of game can you come up with about how toys are made? To make the game work, you need to come up with a rule. If we have two workshops, then how can we find out who is the most skilled and the fastest? We can divide into teams. How to split up? According to the figures from which we will make toys. There are geometric shapes where you sit. Whoever is sitting in circles, come over. Christmas tree, what shape will you decorate? And those with squares? Those children who have circles get into the “Santa Claus” team, and those who have squares get into the “Snow Maiden” team.
(Approaches the “Santa Claus” team)
Educator: What figures will you choose?
Children: No corners.
Educator: Which Christmas tree will you attach it to?
Children: On a cone.
Also with the “Snow Maiden” team.
Educator: We have tables, there are Christmas trees, there is filler for forms, (takes out, puts the figures on the tables), there are figures. How will we divide the figures? By what criteria will we choose figures? With corners, without corners. For your Christmas tree, what shape will you choose? How will you choose a lid for the figure without corners? Prism base?
— What rules must be followed to win and receive a prize. I have prepared cards for you that will indicate the rules that we will discuss now, I have one rule, what do you think it means. Choose toys only one at a time. Why is this rule needed? (Otherwise we won’t have time). What other rules must be followed in this game? (Children offer rules).
— What other rules do you suggest for winning? For example, what rule must be followed so that the toy does not fall apart and its lid does not turn over? (Children offer rules, the teacher helps to formalize them in speech and hangs a sign on the flannelgraph).
- When you fill the toy and close it with a lid, you need to stand up, put the toy on your palm so that I, as the presenter, can understand that you have done it, and only then take the toy to the Christmas tree. When you carry the toy to the Christmas tree, you need to carry it on your palm so as not to spill the contents on the floor. It turned out to be a good rule. What rule will help us not to crowd around Christmas trees? (Don't interfere with each other). And one more important rule: we will work together as a team. What rule will help us not to interfere with each other? (Work together and in order).
— Let me remind you that you need to choose your figure, fill it with decorations, and choose a lid. Whichever team does it faster gets one point.
- Go to your desks. Is everyone ready? At my command, we begin to decorate. One two Three.
(Children complete the task, fill hollow geometric shapes with tinsel, select lids. The teacher observes and, if necessary, joins in the activity).
Educator: The team won... Receives 1 point. Now you need to decorate the Christmas tree. Form a column. One at a time, you need to run to the Christmas tree, stick it to the Velcro landmark, and return to your team.
Educator: Are the teams ready? One, two, three, run. Children take turns running up to the Christmas tree and gluing toy figures.
Educator: Which team finished faster? Receives 1 point. This team dressed up quickly. Who won? Remember, we agreed - to decorate the Christmas tree not only quickly, but also correctly. Is that right? Let's check. Teams check each other's results. For correctness, each team receives 1 point.
Summarize.
Educator: Did you like it? What did you like most about the game: inventing the game or playing it? Did the game turn out the way we intended? Why? Why didn’t the figurines break or the decorations fall apart? Why did everyone manage to place their toy on the Christmas tree? (The rules were followed, everyone tried very hard, they did everything together, they cheered for each other, they came up with rules for the game together, they offered such interesting ideas to each other). So, who is behind the fact that our game turned out very well, without one mistake? Who thinks that the game didn't work out at all? Anyone who thinks that we played the game well, but haven’t learned everything yet, needs to play a few more times. Is there a different way to play this game? Today you and I played a game that we invented ourselves. Well done! Let's see what Santa Claus brought. (There's a new didactic game in the bag)
