Description of lapbooks
The content of the knee books depends on the age and level of training of the student.
For middle groups 4-5 years old
The purpose of the traffic rules lapbook for middle groups of preschool educational institutions is to introduce preschoolers to the rules of the road for pedestrians and drivers, the components of the road, road signs and indicators for all road users.
Important! The manual is designed to arouse the child’s interest in the topic and introduce important rules in a familiar playful way.
In the process of working with a lapbook, the child will train and develop speech, memory, and communication with other team members.
The folder may contain the following sections:
- cards with traffic rules;
- types of transport in pictures;
- poems about traffic rules;
- simple riddles (texts + pictures);
- labyrinths (to build a safe path from home to preschool educational institution);
- coloring cards (road sign, vehicle);
- thematic puzzles from several parts;
- games with elements of physical activity.
It is better to place cards with traffic rules in a pocket, in the central part of the book. The purpose of this section is to consolidate a young child’s knowledge of traffic rules, convey information about the need to be vigilant and careful near a highway, not to get lost and clearly know how and where to cross the roadway. The purpose of riddles on the topic is to develop intelligence, the ability to correlate a text description and an image of an object, and enrich speech.
The essence of the game “labyrinths” is to create a safe route from point A to point B using chips or fingers with the child’s comments. The goal is to develop intelligence, logic, attention, fine motor skills, and speech.
Didactic games for preschool age in preschool educational institutions
Note! To make the lesson more effective, you should change the type of activity.
For example, you can arrange a game between two teams: drivers and pedestrians. The teacher or student takes a blank from the envelope - traffic signals and shows one of the images. Depending on the color, the participants in the game walk or stand still. The goal is to develop memory, reaction speed, and coordination of movements.
For older groups 5-6 years old
Note! The goals of creating a kneeling book for children 5-6 years old are to systematize knowledge on the topic, convey the importance of traffic signals, teach how to classify road signs, develop attention, independence, and caution.
Envelopes with tasks and games in accordance with the age of preschool children:

- left-right (arrange vehicle printouts according to the direction of travel);
- find differences (up to 10 positions);
- outdoor game (children perform certain actions at the traffic light signal);
- visual information (selection of educational videos and cartoons on the topic of traffic rules).
For preparatory groups 6-7 years old
Pupils of preparatory groups can not only improve their knowledge in the field of traffic rules, but also actively participate in the collection and systematization of information.
The purpose of creating a thematic folder is to consolidate acquired knowledge, awareness of the importance of safe behavior on and near the road, readiness to cross the roadway at both regulated and unregulated crossings, teach how to prevent dangerous situations and clearly act when necessary. You can include all of the above elements in the manual, complicating them and diversifying the content.
