How to interest a little fidget in reading? With the help of the LEGO constructor, says Inna Vladimirovna Lazutin , teacher, MADOU “Kindergarten of discoveries and inventions “Eureka” (Perm).
Summary of the master class “LEGO-constructor - letter designer”
Duration of the master class: 12 – 15 minutes.
The purpose of the master class: to teach master class participants the methods and forms of using LEGO constructors during the period when preschoolers are learning to read.
Master class objectives:
- Transfer of experience through direct and commented demonstration of the sequence of actions, methods, techniques and forms of pedagogical activity;
- Joint development of methodological approaches and techniques for solving the problem posed in the master class program;
- Reflection of one’s own professional skills by master class participants;
- Increasing the level of professional competence of master class participants.
Equipment: 2 tables, chairs for 4 participants, notes, LEGO parts, albums on the topic of the master class.
Handouts: reminders
Progress of the master class:
Part I. Organizational moment, selection of master class participants
Hello, always respected by me, kind, strict and adored, dear, close, brave, friendly, needed advisers on every issue, who have read so much in the world, who have known and written a lot, fearless guides of our parents, strong in spirit and not tired, Hello, educators!
I invite you on a fabulous journey, It will be very mysterious, Unusual roads await us, Decent strength will be required. I'll tell you a wonderful fairy tale - Not very short, Not very long, But the same as from me to you!
Maybe this is not a fairy tale, but a reality, I invite here those who have the sound “L” in their name (Lyudmila, Valentina, Olga, Rafilya).
Part II. Introductory part
I suggest you look through the albums that present material on the topic “LEGO-constructor - letter designer”.
Would you like to get the same results from working with your students?
Our goal is to teach you methods and forms of using LEGO constructors during the period when preschoolers are learning to read.
Why do you think we called the LEGO constructor a letter constructor? What are the advantages of playing with this construction set when preschoolers are learning to read?
So, what is a LETTER? A letter is a graphic sign that carries a certain meaning: a designation of sound. When mastering reading, a child learns to associate each sound with a specific sign, remembers it, distinguishes and identifies the characteristic elements of the letter.
In preschool age, a child does not need to learn to write in capital letters; it is enough that he will “type” words. This means that letters can be “printed” using LEGO construction parts.
The undoubted advantage of the Letter Constructor game is the ability to carry out tactile and optical analysis of letters, constructing them from LEGO parts. Moreover, the parts of the designer can simply be superimposed on each other, they can be fastened together, they can be fixed on plates (the master demonstrates the options).
Folding letters from various construction set elements, transforming one letter into another, replacing modules - all this helps the child remember the graphic image of each letter.
In addition, the mental processes of attention, memory and thinking are improved; Fine motor skills and coordination of finger movements develop.
And now, I suggest you test the new technology as part of our master class.
Part III. Main part
So, we will play through several options.
Game "LEGO alphabet"
Game task: build all the letters of the alphabet from various parts of the construction set.
Game options: 1. Build the same letter as mine; 2. Find the same letter in the picture; 3. Build whatever letter you want.
Game "Hide and Seek"
Game task: perform a tactile analysis and name which letter is “hidden”.
Game options: 1. Using an opaque bag or box; 2. Find the given one among several letters laid out on the plate. 3. Look which letter is missing. 4 “The fourth is extra” (3 vowels, 1 consonant).
Game "Transformations"
Game task: replace one or more modules and transform one letter into another.
Game options: 1. Change the letter on the plate; 2. “Grow” the letter up.
Game “One word, two words”
Game task: make a word out of letters.
Game options: 1. Guess what word I want to write (from several letters laid out in advance); 2. Who will write the most words; 3. Make short words from a long word.
Part IV. Final. Reflection
– Please tell me, were you interested? Will your children be interested in this?
Of course, in 10 minutes it is not easy to master all the methods and forms of using the LEGO constructor when preschoolers are learning to read.
In your work you can use small reminders. Thank you for your attention.

Lego construction. Model of a well Author: Stepanova Galina Aleksandrovna, teacher of the Children's Development Center - Kindergarten No. 4, Kamyshlov Description of the material: The proposed master class on creating a working model of a well for children 4-5 years of age can be useful for teachers of additional education, educators and parents who solve problems and issues related to the technical education of children.
The master class has an educational focus related to technical creativity. Master class on Lego construction of a well model.
Goal: to create a working model of the simplest hydraulic structure designed to lift water - a well. Objectives: expanding and clarifying the understanding of the various details of Lego constructors, creating conditions for communication, self-realization and stimulating the growth of the creative potential of preschool children, developing design skills and technical creativity in preschool children, cultivating interest in the historical past of mankind. Material: Lego parts from the Lego Duplo 9656 set
Progress of the master class: Since finding non-standard solutions to problems during play activities is the basis of children's technical design, you can invite children to be transported to another reality. Teacher: Imagine a hot summer, drought and problems with water supply. The lack of water leads to a search for it. Where can you find a source of water? (underground). To bring water to the surface, you need a building that allows you to do this. What is the name of the simplest design of a hydraulic structure for lifting water? (well).What is a well, how can it be built? What elements/details of a well as a technical structure are important and significant? (log house/shaft, lifting devices). There is a type of lifting mechanism called a gate/axle. This mechanism allows for rotational movements. And today we will try to create a model of a well from Lego parts.
Take 4 2*4 bricks and lay them out in a square - this is the basis of the log house - the well shaft.
Take the next 4 2*4 bricks and secure them to the base of the frame using the "brickwork" method.
Next, we fix another layer of 2*4 bricks. The log house is ready.
We take 2*2 bricks in the amount of 6 pieces. We build 2 towers with 3 bricks each. We fix them on opposite sides of the frame according to class=”aligncenter” width=”623″ height=”467″[/img] Next operation: assembling the lifting device. Take 2 2*4 bricks with internal holes, an axle, a lifting handle, 2 rollers. A thread with a hook should be attached to one of the rollers. Assembly diagram: pass the axle through the central hole of one of the 2*4 bricks and secure it with a roller (so that it does not fall out). Then we put the second roller with thread on the axis. Next, a 2*4 brick and a handle for rotation are attached to the axis.
We fix the lifting mechanism on the log house building.
Let's start making a roof for the well. Take 4 bricks 2*2. We build and secure 2 towers.
I propose to make the roof of the well (arched type) using 2 2*4 plates and 6 2*4 bricks with a curve at the bottom. It can be explained why it is necessary to take bricks with a curve at the bottom (beaks): the slope facilitates the flow of water.
The well model is ready. Shall we play? Thank you for your attention.
