What games would you prefer for your child, or maybe you really missed in your childhood? Write in the comments about your impressions of modern educational games for children.
Games for girls
It is obvious that the interests of little princesses are focused on quiet games that introduce flowers and clothes, dishes and furniture, plants and animals. Educational games for girls will help you learn the colors and their names, sweets and special features of the holidays, and teach you how to assemble cute and kind puzzles with cartoon characters and heroes of your favorite cartoons. Some educational games have special themed printables for girls that you can play with offline or use to reinforce themes.
Are computer games useful?
In order to help the child develop, the parent must always be there. So you can’t just turn on your tablet or PC, sit your child in front of it and go about your business for hours. And in case of failure, always criticize the World Wide Web. No, things are a little different. It is important to choose the right games that will help you develop, and you should not forget about parental control so that your child does not accidentally see something forbidden.
Games for boys
Active educational games are what mischievous fidgets need. Study transport, improve your logical thinking, get acquainted with figures and various musical instruments, trying to find their analogues: for example, instead of a pipe, try blowing into an empty glass decanter or glass and compare the sounds. Be sure to take a break between exercises so that your child does not stay too long. To do this, set up a special rest window in your Personal Account, which will allow you to break up educational games with useful breaks - modeling, appliqué, exercises or finger gymnastics.

Why do I recommend these games to you?
There are a lot of online games, but basically these games do not meet the requirements for educational interactive games for children under seven years old; they are created without taking into account the psychology of the child and the patterns in the learning of children. These same games are that rare case when an online game truly develops and educates a child, instills good feelings in him, develops curiosity and brings joy to the family and good empathy of joy. It was among the streams of various proposals for cooperation that I singled out these games and I can recommend them to you!

The importance of play in the development and upbringing of a child
Author: Agbalyan Valentina Vasilievna
“The importance of play in the development and upbringing of a child”
History proclaims the seven wonders of the world. History is modestly silent about the eighth wonder of the world - the game. The game is a serious matter. Millions of people went through the school of life in the game, learned about the world around them, and taught human relationships.
Play is of great importance in the education of preschool children. With its help, children actively develop, their worldview and worldview improve. There is a universal way not only to show interest, but also to develop personality in general. This is children's creativity in everything. A preschooler cannot relate to the world objectively; he looks for his interests in everything, forms of his personal participation or involvement in current events. It is creativity that allows a child to settle in and fill the world around him with his desires.
Every game is of invaluable importance for the intellectual and mental development of a preschooler. It is in games that all levels of personality, mental processes, and various types of activities develop most successfully. In it, the child for the first time begins to distinguish between reality and fantasy. By taking on a certain role of an animal or a person of a certain profession, the child creates a special reality in which he is a significant person. Next to reality, the child builds an imaginary world. In this case, the ability to plan in the mind, anticipate one’s own actions and the actions of other people and characters, coordinate them, and play out a certain situation develops.
Play for preschool children cannot be replaced by other activities. For a child, play becomes the meaning of his existence: he communicates, develops physically, and strengthens morally. If a child does not play, then he does not receive full knowledge about life, about the social sphere, about nature. And, on the contrary, by mastering certain skills and abilities in the game, taking on the role of other characters, a preschooler is able to overcome all difficulties in his development.
Many features of a child’s personality are formed in play. The game is a kind of school of preparation for work. The game develops dexterity, resourcefulness, endurance, and activity. Play is a school of communication for a child.
Raising children of early and preschool age is a single process. Its content and methods change in accordance with the increased mental and physical capabilities of children. During the first years, the child goes through a long and complex developmental path. During this period of play, children learn to negotiate with each other about joint actions, the distribution of roles, and the selection of toys.
Games that they create themselves are of great importance for children. In them they create what surrounds them. The game, invented by the children themselves, is a reflection of life. Imagining the game “Cook”, children cook soup as their mother does; playing “Sailor”, they understand that he is not real, but he behaves bravely and is not afraid of dangers. Children tend to show their creativity, imagination, and analytical abilities in games.
Raising children in a game means choosing a topic, developing a plot, and distributing roles. The themes covered in the games are everyday life, family, school, and holidays. Boys usually play “war”, girls - “mother-daughter”. By observing children while playing, one can judge the relationships in their family. By imitating the work of their parents, children learn to sweep and vacuum the floor, and wash doll clothes. Each game has its own zest, which determines its pedagogical significance, its content, and strengthens interest in new knowledge.
The influence of art and fiction on the formation of a child’s personality is very great. Children imitate book characters who embody actions in the game.
Outdoor games are of great importance for the physical and general development of a child. In the fresh air, children alternate active games with creative ones with great pleasure. At the same time, children play in the sandbox and build structures from various materials. And in winter, children enjoy building fortresses and towers out of snow. This change of games lifts the mood.
All games for children are developed taking into account the game material and the rules of the game. To understand why a child needs this or that game and what it is aimed at, the teacher sets the goal of the game, which in turn includes two aspects:
1) educational, i.e. what play can teach a child;
2) cognitive, which implies the volume of information and the form of its presentation.
In both cases, the goal of the game should be formed not simply as the transfer of skills, but as the development of the child’s abilities. Playing material is also a necessary attribute: it is needed for the productive learning and development of children.
In play activities of any form, the positive qualities of a child’s personality are formed; the game improves the skills acquired in classes, develops memory, encourages responsibility for the assigned task, etc. Preschool children acquire knowledge much more successfully through play than in class. They understand the meaning of the game, they are interested in it. Preschoolers do not notice difficulties in the game, they themselves find the right solution in the game, they show interest in the role of the leading character. In preschool age, it is necessary to teach games related to life situations.
The game develops and pleases the child, makes him happy. The game develops his imagination, fantasy, therefore, the ground is created for the formation of an initiative, inquisitive personality.
Play is important in a child's life.
What a child is like at play, so in many ways he will be at work when he grows up. Therefore, the education of a future leader occurs primarily in play. comments powered by HyperComments
