I brought you a gift
Features of the game and its educational value. This game brings up the children's desire to do something pleasant for another, for example, to give him what he likes most. This aspiration is the basis of humane attitude to people and is extremely important for the moral development of the child.
The game situation is such that the child himself chooses whom he wants to give a gift and what exactly to give. Thus, children learn to make their own decisions, which is difficult for a three-four-year-old child.
The game creates a festive atmosphere, a surprise ™, which enriches the lives of children and which they so lack in kindergarten.
Play stuff. As a game material, you can use a variety of attributes that change the appearance of the child. This is primarily different decorations( beads, badges, hats, ribbons, etc.), which the kids love so much. You can use the following items: Christmas beads, tinsel, hare ears( hats), a visor on the elastic, a belt with a buckle, kerchiefs, ribbons, skirts( flaps on an elastic band), aprons, flags, sultans, collars with ties, asterisks, badges, artificialflowers, etc.
The number of objects should correspond to the number of children in the group. Having two or three copies of the listed items, you can organize a game with the whole group. In addition, you need a smart box to put the chosen gift in it.
Description of the game and the techniques of its conduct. The educator offers children to play a children's party."Let's do it: let everyone choose from things that he likes, put a thing in a box, and then give it to someone he wants, and together with him will dance. See what beautiful gifts are prepared for you, "says the teacher. Then, together with the children, he comes to the tables, on which the game material covered with a cloth is pre-arranged. Opens it and gives children the opportunity to admire various decorations and attributes. The adult explains that they can decorate themselves on the holiday.
Children take turns picking things they like, and then return to their seats and sit down in pre-prepared chairs that stand with their backs to the tables with gifts. The game begins. The teacher asks one of the participants in the game to whom he wants to give a gift, gives him a box, and the kid goes to the tables with gifts."I wonder what Petya will choose( names the child's name) and who will he give his gift to?" - says the teacher, referring to the children. And he explains the important rule of the game: do not turn to the tables and do not peek out what Petya chooses.
When the kid, along with the box in which the gift lies, approaches the one for whom this gift is selected, the provider suggests repeating the following words with it:
I brought you a gift,
If you like, take it,
Show all the guys
And withBy me, you dance.
The solemn transfer of the gift takes place with the active participation of the caretaker, who helps open the box, shows the gift to all children, suggests that they should thank for him, help put on or decorate the jewelry. Then he offers to kids to dance.
Both children dance, and the rest of the participants sing a song and clap them. Then the two sit down, and the next child is sent for the gift, which is transferred to the box.
So in turn( according to how they sit), all children give gifts to each other.
When every participant in the game has a gift, the children stand up and the solemn procession begins with a musical accompaniment( song, tambourine, etc.).Everyone walks around the room, demonstrates their gifts, plays them, dances, etc.
After that, the items come back to the table, and the game begins again. Each child can choose another partner and another gift.
Rules of the game.
1. Before choosing a gift, you need to think and decide who will receive it.
2. A gift can be made to any of the children, but only to those who do not have anything else.
3. It is not allowed to look back and look after what the child chooses.
Tips for the educator. The game situation itself is conceived in such a way as to create a holiday atmosphere. Therefore, try to do everything that children have experienced joy, not only from the surprise that was presented to them, but also from what they have done to their friend.
This game, if it passes fun, emotionally, will help to rally the group, create a friendly atmosphere in which every child( even the most shy) will feel free, comfortable.
In the younger preschool age, an adult should be the organizer of children's behavior. In this game, it may happen that the child will need help in choosing a partner( who to give) and the subject( what to give).Help the baby, tell him who expects a gift from him or what to give to one or another child. Unbeknownst to everyone, help a shy pupil overcome his timidity and give a gift to a peer. And someone who can not cope with himself, as he can not wait to receive a gift, calm down, distract.
The teacher is also a participant and organizer of the holiday itself - that is, the final of the game, which can take place in any form. It is important that the game does not tire children and ended on time.
