Active study of the world begins from a very young age with the exploration of everything around us. Communication with adults occurs in the game. It brings joy to a child when parents show attention and engage with him. Boys and girls experience pleasure when they use their imagination, solve clever riddles, and discover solutions to difficult situations. The process teaches them: thinking, discovery, invention, argumentation, and develops imagination. This will help you successfully master school programs in the future.
Educational games for children 4-5 years old play a significant role in life, expanding their concepts of the world, preparing them for observations, identifying the properties of objects, and establishing basic connections. Along with this, in the process of solving simple tasks, children will be happy to have fun, happy about successes and records.
Studying helps to make discoveries, create, reflect, and debate. Any actions should force you to focus on the selection of your skills to resolve the real situation. The more exciting such work is, the more inspiring it is, the more useful it is.
Didactic tasks have long been of interest to many domestic and foreign teachers, who emphasized their enormous importance in the educational process of children experiencing difficulties. Scientists saw educational games not as fun, but as enormous work that required effort and intensity. The unobtrusive form of the lesson has a beneficial effect on children and reveals their talents and resources. Teachers view classes as a means of enriching children's skills, expanding their erudition and interests.
Pedagogical principles of didactic educational games
In any task, a goal is set that determines its course. Therefore, the teacher takes into account the following:
- relying on the existing stock of knowledge acquired by simple understanding;
- control over the availability and simultaneous complexity of the task;
- supporting interest and variety of gaming activities;
- gradual complication of exercises;
- specificity and clarity of explanations of the rules.
Passion gives children independence - for them it is not a duty, not a duty. They play not by order, not by coercion, but with desire, often asking for it themselves.
The process develops fine motor skills, has a beneficial effect on memory, expands children's vocabulary, increases erudition, and prepares them for school. Children become more assiduous and calm. Even the simplest fun, which has become classic, develops proportionality and harmony in preschoolers. Many generations were taught to write and read, distinguish sounds, understand the names and shapes of things.
Games for developing attention and memory
Tasks for attentiveness and concentration consist of searching for hidden objects, detecting differences between drawings, selecting paired realities, identifying redundant or identical things and phenomena. This helps children become more insightful, focused, and smart.
Memory is a valuable type of intellectual practice; it should be developed from early childhood, which will allow the child to more easily master material at school. Didactic games for memory development will be a valuable aid in training visual and auditory memory.
Games for developing logic and thinking
Logic classes can teach a child to compare, analyze, collate received information, and find simple patterns. In a few years, this will help solve school problems and cope with difficult life situations. Exciting activities to develop thinking abilities and intelligence will teach you how to highlight the main thing and generalize.
Gradually, the child will learn to think independently. Tasks for children 4-5 years old are varied:
- find the missing item;
- determining the order of actions in the drawings;
- selection of labor items intended for the named profession, for example, for cooks, doctors, drivers.
Educational games for girls 4-5 years old
Entertaining creative tasks in such games help young infants become virtual stylists, designers, fashion designers, florists, and makeup artists. Little girls learn to cook and decorate various dishes, take care of their favorite pets: feed them, bathe them, comb their hair, change their appearance.
In the process, children will learn to take care of defenseless animals and protect them. Those girls whose mothers taught them to help them with their homework will be pleased with the choice of games related to kitchen work and cooking. Daughters are able to experiment with the selection of clothes in order to later make it a reality. They are interested in makeup, hairstyles, flowers, and taking care of newborns.
Learning math through play
Teaching elementary mathematics to 4-5 year old children in a playful way is not an easy task due to the abstract content of the concepts themselves. The introduction should be in an entertaining way that can intrigue a restless child. Online mathematical games help to do this, allowing you to teach numbers, arithmetic operations and concepts of comparing numbers and quantities in an accessible and interesting way.

The main task of the teacher is to correctly select games that correspond to the age category of the children and their interests in the kindergarten. In modern “computer” times, children are often deprived of the opportunity to fully play at the table at home - looking at adults, they prefer phones, consoles, and televisions. That is why high-quality organization of tabletop leisure, introduced into kindergarten, is so important and relevant.
Board games for children 2-3 years old (younger group)
Children 2-3 years old often do not yet speak, do not recognize differences in colors and shapes, and do not know the names of objects. The teacher needs to offer such children board games to develop speech, visual and auditory perception, and attentiveness. The children cannot yet play together without the help of an adult, so the teacher acts as a coordinator and mentor in the kindergarten group.
Children of the younger group are very inquisitive and interested in everything new to themselves. Invite them to play bright pyramids, picture lotto, large puzzles, and build towers. Each game should be bright, beautiful and as safe as possible. No small parts (chips, cubes), sharp objects - the kindergarten by default should be a place where it is always safe for the child. You can make a finger theater with your own hands and offer to act out a scene with your children.

Board games for children 3-4 years old (middle group)
From the age of 3, a child already actively communicates with peers around him and is able to study and discover something together with them. At this stage, board games for children 3-4 years old can acquire new rules, and the teacher acts as an arbiter on the “field”. The joint activity is designed to develop a sense of justice - kids learn to rejoice not only in personal victory, but also in the success of their peers. The girl will be happy to enthusiastically play dress-up games, be it paper heroines with various homemade outfits or three-dimensional dolls. Dress up games can be carried away not only for the sake of variety of leisure time, but also for the sake of understanding the principle and. The boy will cope well with not the most complex construction set.
Those board games for children 3-4 years old, which were successfully accepted by children in the younger group of kindergarten, can be a little more complicated for the middle group. For example, the task set for the child will not just name the object in the picture, but give it a versatile characteristic (color, features, purpose). Develop children's speech by asking them to answer questions in detail, use facial expressions, and pronounce individual sounds.
 | "My house" Children are offered separate parts of a house (door, windows, chimney, staircase) or room (sofa, chandelier, painting, refrigerator), which must be assembled into one structure.

Board games for children 5-6 years old (senior group)
Starting from the age of 5, children can be prepared for school: perseverance is cultivated, vocabulary and logic are developed, and an interest in creativity and acquiring knowledge is developed. At this stage, children can independently invent board games for themselves and introduce rules into them; the ability to analyze what is happening without the participation of an adult appears. For a preschooler, kindergarten is the last step before school, from which you need to get the most benefit.
For children aged 5-6 years, manufacturers have created many board games where it is necessary to find investigative connections and establish facts. Boys and girls can buy or create games based on the following topics: cars, house cleaning, fashion. It would be nice to implement it so that by the time children go to school they learn the basics of calculations.
 | "Nature Calendar" The child needs to establish a correspondence between the selected months, its inherent precipitation, and temperature. |
 | "Find a cub for mom" It is necessary to compare the pictures of various animals, birds and their young correctly. |
 | "What? Where? When?" A versatile game for the development of 5-6 year old children. It is built on the principle of a quiz. |
The choice of board games for kindergarten children can be made not only by educators, but also by creative parents. The kindergarten, its atmosphere, talented employees, and even the boys and girls themselves are able to suggest what would be the most fun for them to play with at the table, and what kind of leisure time they generally consider the most interesting. This is an excellent help for studying, organizing free time, as well as an alternative to walking in bad weather.
