Many parents get lost when it comes to playing with toddlers. Feed, wash, take a walk with the baby, many young parents know how, but most do not know what they spend with the crumbs in their free time from these troubles.

Naturally, the main development of a child up to a year takes place in the form of a game, which is aimed at the formation of basic speech skills, coordination of movement and familiarization with the outside world.

This article will detail the main exercises and educational games for children in 1 year that contribute to these goals. First, we will discuss the features of babies for a monthly period and suitable games at this time.

Games that develop speech at 1 year old

A six-month-old child coherently babbles, pronounces syllables, and by 7 months you can hear an imitation of an adult's voice, that is, individual syllables that were formed by chance or were copied from an adult's speech. After another month or two, start playing with the baby in imitation of new syllables, say the syllable several times and wait for the baby to answer you. This game trains the articulatory apparatus, and naturally enriches the baby's babbling.

From six months to 10 months the child is actively developing an understanding of the words of an adult. The child is able to enjoy the voice, and listens to speech, beginning to understand them. This promotion of the baby encourages him to turn his head and look for certain objects with his eyes, either in a specific place or throughout the space of the room.

According to the abilities, they are selected and educational games for a child in 1 year, in which it is necessary to represent and name the main processes, such as “okay”, “what a big one!”, “goodbye”, etc., they can be repeated many times while the baby is interested.

I think it's not worth explaining the essence of these games, the name speaks for itself.

From the age of eight months, educational games for a child at the age of 1 take on a new direction - we teach children to look for a couple of well-known objects with their eyes, then ask them to get the item they are looking for.

In the course of communication and games, it is necessary to address the baby by name as often as possible: in the ninth month of life, the baby is able to remember his own name, look for an adult with his eyes, turning his head, and approach the person who calls him by name. Therefore, it is worth playing rhymes with the name of the baby or various jokes - parents can come up with such simple games on their own.

Educational games for a child at 1 year old: learning subjects

Now consider specialized educational games aimed at studying the surrounding objects. Games are again the most elementary: put a voluminous, colorful and sounding object in the usual place and call it several times until the baby turns his head in the direction of finding the object. For example, putting the baby’s favorite toy dog ​​on a shelf that the baby can easily see, and say: “Where is Deniska’s dog, woof-aw?”. Then, taking the little one in your arms, bring it to the toy and let it have fun with it. Try to conduct such classes when the baby is calm and cheerful, and nothing bothers him. Having mastered this game, try to change the usual location of the dog and repeat your question, let the baby look for his toy in the room. Thus, the connection of the word "dog" with the toy itself is formed, and not with the shelf on which it stood. Do this game with other items.

Education can be carried out not specifically, but to use the interests of the child. For example, the child focused on the included lamp, be sure to ask: “Where is the light, look?”, And do not forget to call the baby by name: “Deniska, where is the light? Here's our light!" All educational games for children at the age of 1 must be repeated several times, from one time the baby up to a year will not be able to establish a connection between the event and the explanation, so please be patient and perseverant. Over time, such games, for the identification of objects, need to be complicated, by adding new objects, for example, a pupa will be added to the dog. The parent needs to be told, “Look Deniska, here is the dog, but where is the doll?”. Such games form visual memory, introduce you to the world around you and help you focus on a specific thing.

Educational games for a child at 1 year old: we develop movement coordination

The simplest a game aimed at developing motor skills in a child- hide and seek in place. For example, a mother throws a small scarf over her head, or simply covers her face with her hands and asks: “Where is mother?”, After opening her face, she says: “Here is mother!”. Let the child repeat these movements himself, closing and opening his or his mother's face.

At the age of six months, teach the baby the name of the main movements, thus establishing the connection between the movement itself and its execution. For example, wave a pen, saying "goodbye," and then wave your baby's hand in response, repeating the words. All educational games for children at 1 year old are repeated many times, the baby gets used to constant communication and actively advances in learning, largely imitating adults.

Do not think that games with babies can only be verbal. From the age of six months, begin to actively explore objects around. Give the child a certain toy in the hands, let him examine it, then show her how to knock on other things and what sound comes out, wave the objects, or let the baby throw it on the sofa, such simple games perfectly form the coordination of the crumbs. Show that the ball needs to be rolled, and rubber toys can compress and decompress.

Approaching the first year of life, the ability of children to develop understandable speech is saturated, with effective education the number of understood words is rapidly increasing. It is worth teaching children to remember not only their own name, but also the names of adults and children who are next to them. Here's another interesting educational games for children in 1 year.

In the game, all means are good

Educational game for a child at 1 year old: "Search in the sandbox"

All you need for this game is the contents of your kitchen cabinet and a small toy. Take out a jar of semolina - this is our sand - and pour about a kilogram into a spacious pan or into a wide bowl and expose this imitated sandbox to be torn to pieces by a toddler. The surprise and enthusiasm of the baby will be immeasurable, because he likes to learn everything new so much! After he enjoys sowing through the fingers of the cereal, and tastes unknown grains, take him on an exciting search. Hide any insignificant toy in the croup, and do not interfere with the efforts of the little one to find the hidden treasure. When the treasure is found, offer the kid a wooden sieve and teach him how to use it. So the most exciting educational game is ready, for an hour, and mommy will have time to cook dinner during this period.

Educational game for a child at 1 year old: "Young Explorer"

For this game, your old bag, rid her of all the little gizmos and empty departments fill all sorts of interesting touch and appearance subjects. Anything you have on hand will do: a small toy, a cucumber, a pencil, safe eating utensils, a rustling bag, a purse with compartments, a key ring, and a ringing phone. All the items that are used in the adult world are extremely attractive to the child, and he will delve into the treasury bag with admiration.

Educational game for a child at 1 year old: "Funny faces"

We offer to make a developing craft with your own hands, for this you only need a plastic cup, a regular straw for cocktails (or a tube of spaghetti), a cut-out cardboard circle, tape and a pencil. Then do the following process: draw a mischievous face on a cardboard circle (five centimeters wide). We fasten the muzzle to the straw with tape. And at the bottom of the plastic glass we cut a hole and thread a tube through it so that the face is inside the glass. By moving the tube up and down, you will get a smiling man jumping out of the vessel. Rest assured, this will greatly amuse your baby.

In general, I think the principle is clear, in educational games with children up to a year a variety of dishes are suitable: wooden, plastic, small toys for examining, taking out, inserting, etc. Offer to get a seductive toy by pulling the string towards you. Buy toys for your baby that roll when touched, such as balls, cylinders, etc., this encourages the baby to crawl after them, pushing and catching up again and again. Offer the baby, who is in the crib or playpen, a cloth, a ball, a ball, light skittles for throwing.

Child development does not require a lot of money, but only your attention and effort.

The thought of a child from 1 to 2 years old cannot yet do without a hand, the baby “thinks with his hands” (K. Hutt), disassembling, scratching, breaking. Thus, the baby transforms objects into a form accessible to him. The child's thinking is occupied with what is nearby, what can be touched, felt, tasted, unscrewed or disassembled. The understanding of the speech addressed to the child is developing more and more, at the age of 2, the baby not only replenishes the vocabulary, but also builds sentences. The child begins to actively use speech for communication, it becomes a means of developing thinking and regulating behavior. The kid more and more masters object actions (handling objects according to their generally accepted purpose), curiosity grows, the first questions appear: “What is this?”, “Why?”, “Why?” The perception of color, shape, size develops. The child continues to show play actions in the form of imitation of the actions and behavior of adults. Improved coordination. The child is accustomed to cleanliness and self-regulation of their physiological functions.

1. Games that develop the physical data of the child, coordination, strength and dexterity

1. Clap clap

Note to parents. Mental development is often ahead of the physical. It is worth noting that physical development is a powerful incentive mental development.

The course of the game: the participants of the game become in a circle, the leader is selected (see the options for counting in the chapter “Grandma’s Chest”), who becomes in a circle and begins to pronounce the poem and show movements, all the rest perform movements after him:

Repeat after me

Clap-clap-clap in front of you.

And then over your head.

Head is not spinning

I stare upward.

The kid quickly learns the principle of moving up, the situation is more complicated with the descent, so at first it is recommended for adults to shoot him from the reached height. In the future, he will master under your control the descent from the stairs.

I'm slowly descending

From a small peak.

I put my foot carefully

I lower my hand quietly.

1. Games for the development of the creative abilities of a child 1-2 years old

1. Games that activate cognitive and Creative skills children

Note to parents. Most children learn facts with enviable ease, but it is more important that they can acquire knowledge and express ideas on their own.

1. Up down

The purpose of the game: the development and consolidation of the names of the directions of movement up and down, the speed of reaction.

Necessary materials and visual aids: tennis ball, sketchbook, colored pencils, Swedish ladder.

Game progress.

1st option: put the child facing you, pick up a tennis ball, throw it up, then throw the ball down from a small height or just let it go. Do the movements several times, while saying:

Head raised, so up,

If lowered, then down.

Be sure to check how the child learned head movements with the concepts of "up" and "down". Ask the child to show with his hand how the ball flies up and down. Give the child a ball in his hands, tell a short story about how the ball loves to fly and jump, while asking the baby to show how the ball jumps up and down, and then vice versa: up, down.

2nd option: use the previously described game "Top climber", when conducting it, tell the baby:

We climb up, we raised our heads,

We go down, head lowered.

After the child descends from a height, check how he learned the concepts of "up" and "down".

Option 3: On a landscape sheet, draw an arrow showing the direction up or down. Tell the kid a fairy tale about a cunning arrow that wanted to confuse everyone so that no one knew where it was flying, but a magician came and unraveled the secret of the arrow. Explain how the arrow is arranged: it has a tail (body) and a roof of the house (point), it moves with the point forward. Explain to the baby how you can find out where the arrow flies: “Look at the arrow, where is the roof of the house (point)? If the head is raised, it means that the arrow flies up, if it is lowered, then it is down.

Draw a few arrows on the album sheet, ask the baby to figure out where the arrow is flying, for clarification, ask him to show the direction of the arrow with his hand.

Another trick: in order to unravel the movements of the arrow, you need to take a pencil and draw a line from the tail of the arrow to the roof of the house, if the hand runs away from the baby, it means up, if it approaches, then the arrow flies down.

Note to parents.The child loves the most incredible stories. Use them when you play with your baby.

1. Back and forth

Goals of the game: development and consolidation of the names of the direction of movement forward and backward, speed of reaction, coordination of movement, attention, development of the visual and auditory, vestibular analyzer.

Necessary materials and visual aids: toys, stool, toy box, whistle.

Game progress.

1st option: put a stool at a short distance from the baby, a box with toys near the child. Ask to take the toy to the stool on the whistle. When the whistle blows, tell the baby clearly and clearly: "Go ahead." After he puts the toy on the stool, say: "Come back." When your child approaches you, blow the whistle to bring the toy back to the box.

2nd option: tell the child about the cunning eyes (parents' improvisation): a long time ago, all the animals did not walk the way they do now, but the way the eyes want (which means forward) or back (back).

Invite the child to try to go where the eyes and back want, while giving the command: “Eyes go forward”, “Back back”. In the future, omit the words "eyes", "back": "Forward, backward."

The performance of the game requires coordination from the baby, in any case, he will try to see what is behind him so as not to fall.

Continue the tale of sly eyes: but the eyes always wanted to see what was behind them, they constantly peeped, but they were uncomfortable. They didn’t see everything and once went to the trick and just closed, but the back did not expect this, fell and hit hard, their eyes began to cry ... They suggested that the back should carefully look at the road. If she is tired, then her eyes will do it themselves, only for this you need to turn around. Since then, the eyes have been moving forward, and when it is necessary for the back to go back, the eyes turn the whole body and do its hard work behind the back.

Invite the baby to do what the eyes did: the eyes went forward, turned around and now go back. Fix the name of the directions “forward”, “backward”, ask the child to move forward and backward on command or on a whistle.

Praise the child for the speed, quick wit and correct execution of commands.

Purpose of the game: development of observation, logical thinking, assessing the situation, the ability to express their point of view, the ability to play in a team.

Necessary materials and visual aids: toys large and small, catchy and inconspicuous, scarf, brooch, various bright jewelry.

The course of the game: with the help of a counter, a leading wizard, a guest (a player who enters and leaves the room), a page (a player who rearranges toys from place to place at the direction of the wizard) are selected.

The guest (the first con let it be one of the adults) goes out the door. At this time, the wizard and the page arrange the toys in a strict order (it is best to take no more than 5 toys) and cover them with a light scarf.

The guest knocks on the door, entering the room, bows to the wizard and asks him to give him the brooch, beads, etc. The wizard agrees, but asks to complete three tasks, if he completes them, he will receive a magical decoration as a reward, if not, then the wizard will turn him into stone. For a few seconds, the handkerchief is removed from the toys, then the toys are covered with it again, the wizard sends the guest out the door.

Task one: the page, at the direction of the wizard, hides one of the toys. Then the guest enters, he must guess which toy has run away.

Task two: the page rearranges the toys in places, the guest must guess which toys are rearranged.

Task three: the page removes or puts on a dress, hat, shoes, etc., the guest must guess what has changed.

If the guest correctly completes all three tasks, he receives the promised decoration and becomes a wizard. With the help of counting points, the roles of page and guest are distributed between the remaining players.

If the guest makes a mistake, then the wizard turns him into stone, the guest must portray some animal (on the instructions of the wizard, so that none of the other players know the task) and freeze for a few seconds. If others guess what kind of animal it is, then the wizard will disenchant the guest. If not, then the guest sings a song or tells a poem in person (shows actions and events with gestures). The game starts from the beginning.

Note to parent.The ability to take risks (not to be afraid to express one's opinion and take actions) is a necessary element in the development of creative abilities.

1. Big small

Goals of the game: development of a sense of size, consolidation of the concepts of "big", "small", development of attention, speed of reaction, fine motor skills of hands, competitive spirit.

Required materials and visual aids: toys different size, empty boxes, figurines cut out of colored cardboard, a whistle.

Game progress.

1st option: put the toys prepared for the game in a large box, ask the baby to sort them according to the principle “big”, “small”. When the task is completed, praise him for his efforts.

All family members can take part in the game, each of which is given a box with toys and empty boxes, sorting begins with a whistle, the losers sing a song to the winner.

2nd option: prepare in advance figures cut out of colored cardboard, large and small squares, triangles and other figures, put them in a common bright box and give the box to the baby. If he cannot open it, help him with this. Carefully consider together with the child what is in the box. Invite your child to sort the figurines by size into empty boxes. After the task is completed, ask them to sort the figures into different piles according to their shape. Be sure to praise your baby. If he made a mistake in choosing, go back and sort out the mistake, let the child put the figure in the pile in which, in his opinion, it should lie.

Game progress: using the counter, select the detective (the player who is looking for the treasure), the keeper of the treasure (the player who constantly hides the treasure).

The investigator (best if the first investigator is an adult) leaves the room, and the keeper (best, a child and an adult, as a keeper and assistant) hides the treasure. The detective must find the treasure, while he can ask three questions of his choice, to which the keeper can only answer "yes" or "no". The purpose of the keeper is to confuse the detective. If the detective finds the treasure, then he becomes the keeper, if not, he fulfills the desire of the keeper (sing, dance, portray an animal, etc.). At the end of the game, do not forget to praise the most successful players, note the original questions and attempts to solve the problem. The kid at the end of the game can distribute prizes from a magic box with a treasure.

The sooner you play these games with your child, the earlier child will independently make decisions and assess the situation, even with the help of an adult (the role of an assistant to the keeper or to the detective) at the first moment. The child's interest in playing under these conditions will not wane for a long time.

1. Games for children 1 - 2 years old using improvised materials

When a child is not very interested in store-bought toys, parental ingenuity comes into play. This is what happened in our family.

We are lucky to become the parents of a little researcher who constantly needs to offer something new, interesting, unusual. Then we began to invent games with improvised materials. It is very exciting, and most importantly economical. As it turned out, many do-it-yourself games are not at all difficult to make. We learned something in developmental classes, the kid suggested something, we remembered something from childhood.

I will say again that the recommended age is indicative. Some children can easily cope with tasks earlier, others a little later. All kids are different. Also, not all developmental activities with a child from a year old may appeal to him, but some will definitely appeal to him. Experiment!

1. Games for the development of fine motor skills of children (from 10 months)

Of course, this type of activity requires parental supervision. Small items here are pebbles for an aquarium (as an alternative - small pebbles), buttons, beads, bells and other sewing accessories. But games with such small objects are very useful for the baby and should be present in his Everyday life. The safety precautions are simple: they played and removed to a place unknown to the child.

A favorite game can be, for example, picking up pebbles for an aquarium in a non-spill cup. We started playing at the age of 10 months, and by the age of one, the child was already doing well on his own. But, at first, he needs to be shown how this is done, or rather, to direct his hands. That is, take his pen with his hand, grab a pebble and put it in a glass.

The little ones have good muscle memory, and they easily remember hand movements.

Pebbles can be bought at a pet store, building supermarkets, and a glass at an office supply store. Instead of pebbles, you can take buttons, beads, small lids, and so on.

Over time (from about a year and a half), you can teach your child to sort objects by color: in a blue cup, objects of blue color, in yellow - yellow.

Also, from beads, buttons, pebbles and a baby pencil case, you get an excellent rattle!

1. Educational game for children "Find a couple" (from a year to a year and a half)

Quite an interesting game, which can also be made from improvised means.

The first variation of the game: cut images of familiar objects into halves and invite the baby to find a pair. What does it look like? Several pictures depicting a ball, a house, a tree, a cat, etc. cut into two parts and offer to the child. The pictures themselves can be printed, drawn, taken as postcards or clippings from magazines. His task is to find two halves and assemble the drawing. For the first time, the child is offered two pictures (4 parts), gradually increasing their number.

The second version of the game provides for the presence a large number two identical items.

For example, two blue bottle caps, two cubes of the same color, two mittens, two balls, two identical parts from the designer, two intercom chips, etc. It is desirable to have about 20 items (10 pairs). We put half of the items in a bag, the other half in a cup (or place it on the table). The task of the child is to get the item out of the bag and find a match for him from the cup. Quite an exciting game for children one and a half - two years old. The number of items can be varied and changed. And you don't have to buy anything.

1. Hair bands (from one and a half years)

Moms of boys, have you seen such small children's hair ties in stores? And mothers of girls themselves will understand what it is about. Another game for developing finger motor skills is stringing rubber bands on a marker or felt-tip pen. The main thing is that the diameter of the marker is slightly larger than the rubber itself. The child must make an effort, learn to stretch the rubber band to put it on a pencil or marker.

1. Plasticine games for children (from 1 year old)

Dear readers, I won’t talk about simple modeling from plasticine, this is the first thing that comes to mind. I will offer an alternative: gluing pieces of plasticine onto a sheet of paper.

To do this, you need a piece of plasticine (one or more colors) and paper. The task of the child is to tear off small pieces, roll up balls and, pressing with a finger, stick them to the paper. Plasticine balls can not only be pressed down, but slightly smeared. With such a task, a one-year-old baby will definitely cope. But do not forget to show and guide the child's hands.

When the baby learns such a game, you can diversify it. To do this, give the baby something small (noodles, beans, peas, pieces of foil or colored paper, beads) and show that they can be glued to plasticine. You get good crafts.

Another variation of this game. Laminate the image of a tree without leaves and invite the baby to “glue the leaves”.

Green in summer, yellow in autumn, and snowflakes in winter. In the same way, you can prepare ladybug no blemishes, a brush of mountain ash without berries, etc. After the game, the plasticine is easy to assemble, and the stencil remains until the next creative lesson.

1. Educational game for children "Studying forms" (from a year to a year and a half)

At the age of one year, children are already quite good at distinguishing basic geometric shapes. This can be used for playing. Parents need to prepare the same number of cubes (can be of different colors, sizes) and balls (for big or table tennis).

It is necessary to put the balls and cubes in one box and ask the baby to sort them. Balls in one pile (cup, tray, box), cubes in another. During the game, you need to speak with the child the actions and forms of objects, teach generalization.

1. Educational games for children with covers (from one and a half years)

Another improvised material is covers from plastic bottles. When there are a lot of them (30-40 pieces), you can lay out geometric shapes, lines, snakes, zigzags with them, build towers, sort by colors. Spill-proof lids also come in handy.

1. Dance classes for children (from the year)

There is a lot to be said about music lessons. You can diversify them by dancing with pompoms, ribbons, paper birds. It is enough to take sticks for rolls and attach to the pointed end satin ribbon(sold at any fabric and accessories store). Instead of a ribbon, you can take a New Year's "rain" and teach your child to dance with them. Girls will especially like it. Well, and moms, because it's so cute!

1. L dough epka (a game for children from 1 year old)

Unlike plasticine, it is not scary if the child puts the dough in his mouth. Salt dough products can also be dried. Gouache or food colorings vary the color of the dough. A mouse, a bird, a hedgehog, a worm will be an excellent gift for a grandfather or grandmother.

1. Drawing for children (from 9 months)

Everything seems to be clear here: pencils, watercolor, gouache. Some children do not need to show anything at all, they themselves will come up with better parents.

And some people need to be interested. In addition to the brush, you can draw with your fingers, cotton buds, foam rubber sponges, toothbrushes, make prints. Pencils can be used to trace objects, palms, draw details, etc.

Try drawing a simple pattern on paper with a wax candle, and then have your child paint the drawing with watercolors. Get pretty interesting craft. In this technique, you can, for example, make a snowflake for the holiday. Older children can be offeredlive coloring pages , whose heroes can be revived.

1. Educational games for children for coordination (from 1.5 - 2 years old)

When the baby begins to confidently walk and run, you can offer him such a game. You will need: table tennis balls (10 pieces), a spoon, a basin. The balls are scattered on the floor. The task of the child is to pick up the ball with a spoon and bring it to the basin. The task is not easy, it perfectly trains coordination of movements, accuracy and patience. You can also pour water into the basin and launch the "boats". For older children, you can play a game in the form of a competition.

1. Container with cereals (game from 1 year old)

This is probably one of the most favorite children's activities. Many are simply delighted with it, but what good is it! Buckwheat, peas, beans, noodles are poured into a plastic container with a lid ... The child is given spoons, cups, a strainer and enjoy the silence.

Under the container, you can spread a piece of fabric to make it easier to clean up after the game. Over time, you can teach your child to hide the toy in the croup, and then look for it. Also offer acorns, cones, walnuts. The most important thing after the game is to close and remove the container in an inaccessible place.

1. Stringing beads (from the year)

Another type of game with small objects. The essence of the game is clear from the title. It is necessary to prepare beads and wire. Everyone can play!

The most important thing in classes is to praise the baby for successes and not pay attention to failures. From the first time, many games will not be clear to the child, but over time, he will definitely learn everything! Another plus of such developmental activities is that they provide for the direct interaction of the child with an adult. And this means you can spend time together, fun and useful.

Your baby has already taken the first steps, and it turns out that a whole unknown world is hidden behind the threshold of a home that has been studied up and down. In the period up to two years, the child begins to learn it, albeit under the gaze of the parent, but more independently.

What skills develop in a child from one to two?

Physical development

Between a year and two, a child's physical abilities undergo tremendous changes. The skill of upright walking is honed. Gradually, becoming more confident in his movements, the baby learns to overcome obstacles: to step over pits, walk on grass and pebbles without falling - his legs become less and less tangled. Soon, along with the ability to walk, the ability to run, jump, climb on various surfaces. The young climber easily climbs onto the back of the sofa, up the hill, the Swedish wall, and then confidently slides back.

Speech development

Speech development is already becoming more conscious: the child moves on to words and phrases, and then to the formation of his first sentences.

Having accumulated a sufficient vocabulary in the first year and a half, closer to two years the child can already explain what he wants, naming the action, denoting its subject and object. Often during this period, the baby accompanies his phrases with gestures.

Development of sensory perception, game and object activities

During this period, along with the continuation, through direct interaction with them, the skill of manipulating objects is activated.

Closer to two years old, children are already able to give roles to objects and play scenes from life, imitating loved ones or heroes of their favorite cartoons and fairy tales.

7 games with children aged 1 to 2 years

A game for the physical and mental development of the baby

"The ball is an all-rounder"

One of the favorite toys of a child aged one to two years remains the ball, but the range of games involving this unpretentious toy is expanding. One child will spend hours driving the ball around the court, studying the relationship between the force of impact and the speed of the ball, and the other will observe the force of gravity in action, endlessly throwing the ball down the hill.

Closer to two years, you can start playing "edible - inedible" in a simplified variation. You just say the word, roll or throw the ball to the baby and ask him to repeat the word when he returns the ball back.

This role-playing game develops speech, fantasy, and first communication skills in kids.

"Little Raccoon"

Many babies at this age are ready to play in role-playing games, manipulating toys, and someone is already taking on their favorite roles of little Raccoon, a nurse, a fireman.

Take toys, designate roles. You can act out the plot of your child's favorite fairy tale or a situation: a trip to the zoo or a visit for tea, a trip by public transport. Manage each of your game figure. Ask questions on behalf of the figurine, answer the child's questions, encourage him to take action.

Game for the development of gross motor skills and speech

Round dance game develops gross motor skills, coordination, sense of rhythm, strengthens the emotional connection between the baby and the parent.

"Pan rode"

Stand in a circle, hold hands. If several adults and children are playing, position yourself so that the child is standing between two adults. If there is no company, then you can play together.

The game begins by walking in a circle and chanting the words:

"Pan rode, pan rode,
walking step by step"

After several circles with a “step”, the round dance speeds up. The step turns into a light run. The words also change:

"Pan rode, pan rode,
trot-trot-trot"

The circle is moving even faster. Adults raise the kids by the hands so that they take their legs off the floor:

"Pan rode, pan rode,
rode on and on and on"

Finally, the participants in the round dance gently fall to the floor, saying:

“In the hole - boom!
They crushed forty flies!”

Repeat the game, spinning in a round dance in the opposite direction.

So the first year of life has flown by. Looking back, moms don't get tired to be surprised at how quickly the child turned from a “screaming little bag” into a little explorer. He already quite confidently walks around the apartment, looks into cabinets and bedside tables, examines their contents. The kid does not hide his delight: it turns out that there are so many curious things at home that you can touch, get, scatter! And how many of them are in the yard and in the park!

Each new subject is of great interest to him. It is no coincidence that experts say that it is the objective activity that becomes the main activity of children at this time.

We note two more important features of this stage.

Firstly, babies at this age are characterized by a special susceptibility. For the first time, they discover for themselves those phenomena and properties of the world around us, to which we have long been accustomed. Therefore, every day of their life is filled with special emotionality, which in turn helps to firmly consolidate new knowledge and impressions, skills and abilities. At no other age will a child so easily absorb everything new as in early childhood.

Secondly, children at this stage have an excellent ability to imitate. And they imitate adults with great willingness. That is why experts believe that given age just perfect for educational games designed to help the child get an idea of ​​the world in which he lives and teach him to use his own abilities.

Before we move on to examples of specific educational games for children of 1 year, carefully read general principles and the specifics of their implementation.

Increased safety requirements come to the fore! Of course, you have thought about protecting the child from any trouble before. Still: the baby is your main treasure. And yet, right now, mom should keep her eyes open. The child strives to make the most of his new opportunity - the ability to walk. His life changed radically. No more waiting for mom to give him the thing he likes or take him in her arms to wherever he wants. He can move himself! And he does it. Mom did not even have time to blink an eye - and the baby was already in another room.

At the same time, the movements of the child are still very imperfect, because the muscles are developed rather poorly, and the coordination of movements leaves much to be desired. Therefore, make sure that the space for games is equipped accordingly. No wires on the floor. No corners that could hurt a child. No glass doors or countertops. In a word, nothing that could harm the child.

In addition, the baby does not yet understand how dangerous some of the items of interest to him can be. Therefore, when preparing manuals and toys that you will need in conducting educational games for children of 1 year old, always ask yourself the question: “Do they pose a potential threat to the baby?” Think about whether you can leave the child alone with this or that object if, for example, you have to turn away for a minute? Even if the child shows an increased interest in things containing small parts, having sharp corners or capable of breaking - in no case leave them in the hands of the crumbs!

It is best to purchase special sets of didactic toys in the store. You will need large bright cubes of different colors, balls, pyramids, boards with holes and inserts, insert cups, wooden mallets with a set of pegs and the like. And also small toys (you can "finger" ones) for story games.

Important point: the speech of an adult is already able to influence the behavior of the child, but so far not in all situations. Consider this feature when conducting educational games for children 1 year old. Do not expect that the child, as in school, will clearly fulfill your requirements. Typically, one year olds very easily and quickly enter the game at the command of an adult - because they are curious about it. You ask a child to roll a cart, assemble a pyramid or bring a toy - and interest in him instantly flares up. gaming activity. But it's just as easy to finish the game for the baby is not yet under force.

For example, you can ask the child to collect the blocks in a box after class, and he will gladly do this. And then immediately starts to get them again. For him, the game continues! In no case do not scold the baby. Be patient. This is just a feature of the psyche of a one-year-old child. When it's time to finish another game lesson, try to switch attention to something more interesting. For example, instead of taking the doll away because it's time for dinner, tell the baby: “Come on, Lyalya will eat with us!” Of course, you will have to “feed” the doll along with the baby.

Remember that one-year-olds act impulsively. They are guided not by values ​​formed over the years, but by desires that have arisen at the moment. Perhaps you are deeply convinced that the child now needs an educational game with a nesting doll or with cubes. But it is unlikely that your attempts to attract the attention of the crumbs with toys will be successful if at that moment something more interesting falls into his field of vision: for example, a mobile phone left by dad.

Therefore, the task of parents when conducting educational games for children of 1 year old is to protect the child from everything that will distract him. A working radio and TV, voices in the next room or bright advertising on a computer screen - all this can attract the attention of the baby. And, of course, the mother must very emotionally, with convincing intonations in her voice, encourage the child to play.

Finally, don't forget that the child is not yet able to concentrate on a particular activity for a long time. Do not demand the impossible from him. Of course, you want to develop the child comprehensively. But this can be achieved not only by offering him more and more educational games for children of 1 year old. It is better to make sure that the games are complex. So, for example, games on movements can also contribute to the development of speech, and story games can be combined with music lessons.

Story games

Story games should become an integral part of educational games for children 1 year old. For their implementation, it is necessary to have enough appropriate toys: dolls and bears, horses and dogs. They must be visible to the child. And best of all in such a way that the baby can pick them up if desired.

But do not expect a one-year-old child to start playing them on his own. He needs to lead by example. Grab some toys and put on a little show. For example, with a bunny and a fox. Comment on your actions. "The bunny is jumping! Jump! Jump! Good bunny! The fox came running. Wants to catch a rabbit. Oh no no no! The hare was afraid of the fox. Run away, bunny! Bunny ran away. Next time, you can change the characters (for example, take a cat and a dog).

Games for boys and girls

When conducting educational games for children of 1 year old, it is necessary to focus on traditional toys that correspond to the gender of the child.

So, in games with boys at this age, you can already use cars, boats or planes. True, just roll the typewriter on the table or play
bathroom with the same boat, the child will soon get bored. Therefore, try to make the games varied. For example, a boat can carry passengers. And the machine - to roll down the hill (at the same time, pay attention to the baby that the machine goes down by itself, but does not roll up itself, it needs to be rolled).

Girls also need to be shown how to play with dolls. For example, a mother can take a doll, comb it or “feed it”. At the same time, it is necessary to accompany your actions with comments, for example: “We will comb Lyalya. Like this. Let's comb it. All combed. Lyalya has become beautiful!

Such games will perfectly contribute to the development of objective activities.

Games for the development of movements

One of the most common parental mistakes is that they believe: "You need to develop the child's intellect, and he will learn to run and jump without the help of adults, on his own." But it's not. The kid needs to purposefully create opportunities for improving movements. This is extremely important in the second year of life.

Be sure to include exercises that help improve walking, crawling, squatting, etc. in the complex of educational games for children of 1 year old.

The simplest games for developing movement at this age are throwing and pushing balls and balls, the ability to climb (on a sofa or under a table - for example, to “catch up with a runaway toy”) and climb over (for example, over sofa cushion, behind which the child "is waiting for a plush dog who wants to play with him"). Perhaps your baby will enjoy the opportunity to crawl under an obstacle for a toy (for this you can specially pull the ribbon).

It is useful to walk on an inclined plane up and down. Such activities are well combined with simple rhymes that emphasize each step, for example: “I'm going, I'm going! I'm not going anywhere!" You can also teach your baby to move “like a bear” (swaying from side to side) and “like a bunny” (jumping). And after a year and a half, the child is already able to step over objects (for example, through cubes scattered on the floor).

Remember the wonderful ability of the baby to imitate. Be sure to include games like "do as I do" in the complex of classes.

Music games

Surely you have repeatedly included recordings of lullabies, children's songs and excerpts from classical works for your child. Why not combine listening to your favorite tunes with story or movement games? After all, music can be fast and slow, cheerful and sad. To cheerful music, plush bunnies can "jump and have fun in the clearing." And under the sad one, you can gently shake your arms raised above your head with your child.

You can teach your child to clap to the beat of the music. Or beat the rhythm with the help of tweeter hammers. Of course, while the baby will not be able to hit the beat yet. It will be some time before he succeeds. And you can start trying everything right now.

And, of course, give the baby the opportunity to move to the music. Set an example for him, dance in slow and fast pace - and invite him to dance with you. Of course, there can be no talk of learning some dance moves yet.

Games for exploring the outside world and developing speech

We advise you to regularly include these exercises in the complex of educational games for children of 1 year old. Toddlers want to learn more and more new words. They are interested in the names of the objects they are interested in. But, of course, in the second year of life, they still cannot ask about it using speech. Therefore, they point to an object of interest with a finger. Be sure to encourage the curiosity of the crumbs! Show how happy you are with his question: “What a great kid! The kid pointed to the bunny! It's a bunny!" If you regularly show your approval, the child will be more and more interested in the names of objects.

Introduce the child to such concepts as “cold - warm”, “smooth - fluffy”, dark - light, etc. For example, let someone touch a cup of warm tea and say, "The cup is warm." And then - with cold water: “And this one is cold. Cold cup. Fix this material the next day by substituting the baby’s hand under the stream of water and commenting accordingly on what is happening: “The water is warm, warm. Ouch! Cold! And warm again!

On a walk, you should not demand from the child that he does not touch anything and “throws out the bullshit”. Let him touch the grass, leaves, tree bark (just make sure that dirty hands do not end up in your mouth after that, carry a supply of wet wipes). Say the names of all the items that interest the baby: “This is grass. This is a leaflet. This is a tree".

Talk to the baby. Name, comment, explain. And remember: the baby is going through a unique period. And you have a unique opportunity to influence its development.

In the first few years of life, babies have to master a lot - from knowing the world to the ability to control their own body. Thanks to games with a child at 1 year old, parents help the baby cope with this task. In another way, the little one cannot yet perceive information. But playing with him is not so easy. It is necessary to choose activities that are interesting for him, otherwise he simply will not respond to the call of adults. It is important to take into account the developmental features of the baby of this age.

Features of a one-year-old child

The main reason why you should not neglect games with children of 1 year old is the amazing receptivity of babies. What has long become commonplace for adults is a real discovery for them. Any day for them is filled with events, and this contributes to the consolidation of knowledge and skills.

When inventing games at home or on the street, it should be borne in mind that children of this age are prone to imitation and they do it with great pleasure. So parents should show how to handle this or that object, how to play. It is unlikely that at this age the child will play independently. So far, he is only learning this by watching the elders. But it is important to use this quality to acquaint the baby with the outside world and its own capabilities.

Also, we must not forget that the child is still very small in a year. Do not demand too much from him, set tasks that he cannot cope with. As a result, you can discourage interest in learning new things. If something doesn’t work out for the baby or he just doesn’t want to play a certain game, then it’s worth offering something else. And return to the failed lesson later.

Do not wait for the child to fulfill any request. He is interested in completing the task of an adult, so he will surely obey if you offer to collect the cubes in a box. But it is likely that he will again throw them on the floor - because for him this is an exciting game. In no case should you scold the little one, it is better to switch his attention.

In addition, a one-year-old peanut is not able to perform some action for a long time. He quickly loses interest. Therefore, every few minutes, classes should change. How long one will last depends on the child himself.

Gotta take care of safety

It is very important that the room for playing with a child at 1 year old is safe. Most likely, the baby already knows how to walk or is about to walk. He now moves quickly, it is difficult to follow him. But the muscles are not yet strong enough, and coordination can fail. Therefore, it is necessary to take care that there are no wires on the floor, you can put special plugs on sharp corners, take glass objects away.

All play materials must be safe. Do not leave your baby alone with small, fragile or sharp objects. Even if you turn away only for a minute, the baby can harm himself. At this age, it is highly likely that the child will put the little thing they like in their mouth, this must be remembered when choosing toys.

A one-year-old baby acts impulsively, guided by his desires, and not by any rules. Therefore, if the mother insists on playing with the pyramid, and the baby is interested in something else, then attempts to captivate him are unlikely to be successful. We must try to eliminate distractions, it is not recommended to turn on the TV during class.

Getting to know the properties of objects

The question remains how to play with a child of this age. One of the most important tasks is to acquaint the baby with the properties various items. To do this, you can use a variety of games.

For the first game, you will need a few medium-sized dice. They can be multi-colored - so gradually the baby will learn the colors. You can do the following with them.

• Place the cubes in the box and shake it, commenting - "What is that rattling there?". Give it to the child so that he opens the lid and takes out objects from it. When the container is empty, close it and shake it again, explaining "Empty, no rattles."
• Dip the cubes into a tall box and shake them one at a time into your palm, then pass them on to the crumbs. This will form the awareness of the sequence of actions. At the end, you need to pay attention that the box is empty.
• Show how cubes can interact with each other. To do this, you need to build a tower by placing them on top of each other, or a train by placing them side by side horizontally.

Balls can also be used in games for a child of 1 year old. They, like cubes, are hidden in boxes and let the baby get it. It is necessary to show their important property - the ability to ride. To do this, they are simply rolled towards the crumbs. And you can build a gutter and lower it along it, it is easy to make it out of cardboard. It is recommended to draw the attention of children that the ball must be lifted up, and it will roll down by itself.

Pyramid games will be useful. The child learns that objects can differ in size and color. Only to choose for a one-year-old baby you need a pyramid with a stable base and large rings. The tip of the rod should not be sharp. It's easy to play - you need to disassemble the pyramid and invite the little one to collect it. For him, this is still not an easy task, so an adult first shows how to do it. Then you can give the ring to the baby and, directing its handle, help put it on the rod. Later, he will start to get on his own.

In a year, you can show your baby cards with images of various objects and animals. It's also time to read to him short poems and fairy tales.

It is recommended to introduce the baby to nesting dolls. He learns that things can be big and small, and small things can be placed inside big ones. For the same reason, sets of caps or cups of different sizes that are nested one inside the other will be useful.

First, they can be folded sequentially so that the largest is at the top. Then one by one the child will take them off. It is worth helping to line them up in a row, so the difference in size will be clearly visible. Then assemble back in the same way.

No need to think that for educational games for children of 1 year old, you definitely need to purchase a lot of different materials. Many items can be made independently. It is worth using improvised means that are easy to find at home. After all, a child is exploring the world, and objects that are used in everyday life are especially interesting to him. For example, while mom is busy cooking, you can let him explore the closet. You just need to make sure that there are only safe things there. Everything sharp and beating must be removed away. The peanut with interest will close the pan with a lid, put spoons into it and take them back. You can give him clean washed vegetables, while explaining their properties. Such a game is no less useful than a lesson with special materials.

You need to play with the child on the street. If it’s summer, then you can allow grass, sticks, pebbles to be explored, just remember to wipe your hands with an antibacterial wipe. In winter, it is easy to come up with games with snow.

Story games

In games for children at 1 year old, simple plots may already be present. Just don't expect the kid to come up with them himself. For the first time, the adult must demonstrate how the toys interact. You will have to repeat more than once. For example, you can take a plush bunny and show the baby how the toy jumps around the clearing: “Look, this is a bunny. Bunny jumps - jump-jump. Then add a toy bear: “Who is this? It's a bear! He wants to catch a rabbit. And the bunny jumped and jumped and galloped away. Of course, toys and plots are used in a variety of ways. Heroes can catch up with each other or make friends and go to drink tea.

Dolls or teddy bears can be fed and bottled, rocked and put to bed. From the cubes it is easy to build a garage for cars, in which they can call. How exactly to play with the baby depends on the imagination of the parents.

Movement and music games

Care must be taken not only intellectual development but also about the physical. Therefore, there must be games that encourage the baby to move. The simplest - with a ball. You can show how to throw it or roll it to each other, the kid will be happy to run after him.

At home, it will be useful to stimulate the little one to climb onto the sofa or under the table for interesting toy. It is worth offering to climb over something, such as a sofa cushion. It is also recommended to give the opportunity to walk on an inclined surface.

Music games are also recommended. For them, you can use toys that, depending on the music, will quickly or slowly spin in a dance. Or dance with your child, performing simple movements. It is worth remembering the baby's tendency to imitate. Therefore, it is good not just to encourage him to act, but to show him how to move. Not much time will pass and the little one will repeat the dance on his own to the sounds of a familiar melody.

You need to pay attention and finger games as they contribute to the development of speech. At this age, you can already try Finger paint although some children are afraid to get their hands dirty. You don't have to force them. It is useful to sprinkle cereals, you can give a special dough - it is softer than plasticine and non-toxic. So it's not scary, even if the baby swallows a piece.

Games with a one-year-old child at home or on the street are quite simple, and regular classes will definitely benefit, the baby will develop harmoniously. After all, this is how he gets acquainted with the world around him, in a playful way it is easier to assimilate information.
