Didactic games on the theme Matryoshka. “game with matryoshka. Didactic game “Wide - Narrow”

Target: Teach children to memorize geometric shapes. Teach grouping objects by color, correlating objects by shape using the overlay method. Improve tactile sensations. Develop fine motor skills hands Teach children to focus on the color properties of objects.

Material: 4 nesting dolls with geometric patterns, geometric shapes, “paths”.

Description of the game.

Option number 1 – “Dress up”!

The child takes a matryoshka doll and uses the overlay method to lay out geometric shapes along the contour. The game is considered complete if all the contours are covered with geometric shapes of the desired color.

Option No. 2 – “Tracks for nesting dolls”.

The child takes the “track” he likes and places on it figures of the same shape, but different in color. The game is considered over when all the pieces are laid out on the track or until the entire track is filled with: triangles, circles, rectangles, squares.

Option No. 3 – “Matryoshka on the path.”

This option is for children who did well with options No. 1 and No. 2.

The child chooses the matryoshka doll he likes and “dresses up” it. Fills all contours with geometric shapes. After that, he takes any path for his nesting doll and lays out geometric shapes (of different colors) on it.

Option number 4 – “Find the matryoshka its path.”

The last version of the game will allow the child to consolidate everything previous options games.

The child takes a matryoshka doll in a red scarf and lays out all the geometric shapes on it along the contours. Then he needs to find a "path" with a red geometric figure and lay out all the triangles (different colors) on it. The game is considered over if the nesting dolls remain on the roads.

Didactic game "Funny Matryoshkas" - a universal game. Children 3-7 years old can play it, just like during classes. and in your free time.

A cheerful toy - a painted matryoshka - was born 100 years ago. It was invented by the artist Sergei Vasilyevich Malyutin. Among the Japanese children, he saw a toy - the old sage Daruma. It was a tumbler toy. Inside it was another similar Daruma doll, only smaller. And the artist invented a doll for Russian children that looked like the Japanese Daruma. And the doll was unusual, with a wonderful surprise: inside each doll sat a smaller doll, and in that one an even smaller one, and another, and another... (Shows the nesting doll.)
S.V. Malyutin dressed each doll in a painted sundress, a bright scarf and a colorful apron. And they called this doll Matresha, an old Russian name, as a good one, beautiful girl, who worked in the artist’s house.
This is how the matryoshka doll was born - detachable wooden doll. The most suitable material is dry linden or birch, as it is very soft and can be easily cut with a knife. Wood blanks were sanded and then painted by artists.
I offer several options.
Option 1. Find a mate for each matryoshka.

Option 2. Find 2 identical nesting dolls.


Option 3. Find differences.
From two nesting dolls:


From three nesting dolls:


etc.
Option 4. Fix the names of the colors: yellow, red, green.


There are many more options for using “Merry Matryoshka” during game programs

Didactic game for older preschoolers "Funny nesting dolls"

Target: develop a sense of rhythm in children.
Tasks:
1. development of rhythmic hearing.
2. development of interest in musical gaming activities.

First, a riddle about a matryoshka is asked:
Scarlet silk scarf,
Bright sundress in a flower,
Hand rests
On wooden sides.
And there are secrets in nutria:
Maybe three, maybe six.
Got a little flushed
Our Russian... (matryoshka)
Then the children get acquainted with the rules of the game, play the game with the music director in the music room, and then the game is played in a group together with subgroups of children. This game can be used by kindergarten teachers and music directors with children of older preschool age.
If you continue to work with children on the same topic, you can conduct physical education lesson "Matryoshka":

Friendly nesting dolls clap their hands. (Clap their hands)

In a group you can learn a poem about a nesting doll
Eight wooden dolls,
Chubby and ruddy,
In multi-colored sundresses
They live on our table.
The first doll is fat,
But inside she is empty.
It splits into two halves.
There is another doll living in it in the middle.
Open this doll - there will be a third one in the second one.
Unscrew half
Dense, ground,
And you will be able to find the fourth doll.
Take it out and look
Who is hiding inside?
The fifth pot-bellied doll is hiding in it.
And inside the sixth one lives empty.
And on the sixth seventh,
And in the seventh the eighth.
This doll is the smallest
A little bigger than a nut.
Here are the doll sisters standing in a row.
How many of you? – we’ll ask them,
And the dolls will answer: - Eight!
Open this doll

Activities with matryoshka dolls for the little ones

What developmental problems do games with matryoshka dolls solve for kids?

Matryoshka is a folk educational toy. Didactic means “teaching”. What does it teach and what does it develop in young children?

  • Games with matryoshka dolls develop fine motor skills fingers, manual skills of kids.
  • Children in classes with nesting dolls master ideas about the size of objects and actions with them (a large matryoshka cannot be placed into a smaller one), perception develops (you need to connect the pattern on the two halves of the nesting doll so that it matches).
  • Kids master direct and reverse actions (disassemble - assemble), learn to do actions in a certain sequences, which develops memory (they need to remember the sequence of actions and then repeat the actions of an adult).
  • The baby is also learning follow through and achieve results (assembled nesting doll). It is very important that in the game with nesting dolls the result is clear - if you assemble the toy incorrectly, you will be left with an “extra” nesting doll.

Matryoshka is a special toy because it represents a person. Therefore, you can call a large nesting doll a matryoshka - “mother”, and small ones - nesting dolls - “daughters”. There are even special nesting dolls depicting a family - grandfather, grandmother, mother, father and their children. With matryoshka dolls you can act out any plot - matryoshka dolls receive guests, matryoshka dolls walk, matryoshka dolls dance, doll dolls drive a car to the store and any other everyday scenes.

When buying a matryoshka, check so that all parts of the toy can be easily removed and put on (it happens that top part The nesting doll is placed too “tightly” on its lower part, which will cause difficulties for the baby). You can buy a multi-place nesting doll, but do not give your child all its parts at once.

At about 1 year 2 months - a year and a half, you can begin to teach your child to independently assemble a double matryoshka doll, to distinguish between the concepts of “big” and “small”, “smaller”, “larger”. At approximately 1 year 9 months - 2 years, the baby can already operate independently with a two-seater matryoshka doll and masters a three-seater matryoshka toy, and then a four- to five-seater one.

An approximate sequence of games with nesting dolls - a child’s ability to navigate in size:

What can a child do on his own while playing with nesting dolls? Which nesting doll corresponds to his level of development? How to select the necessary parts for a child’s game from a multi-person nesting doll, so that he can do the task himself? This largely depends on the age of the baby and his skills.

1 year 1 month – 1 year 3 months – two nesting dolls with a difference in size of approximately 3 cm. The small nesting doll does not open.

From 1 year 3 months to 1 year 6 months. Two nesting dolls with the same difference in size, but both of them are detachable (that is, they consist of two parts and open and close).

From 1 year 6 months to 1 year 9 months - three nesting dolls with the same difference in size. Two detachable nesting dolls, one - the smallest - one-piece.

From 1 year 9 months to 2 years - three nesting dolls with the same difference in size, but all three nesting dolls are detachable.

From 2 years to 2 years 6 months – a child can assemble a 4-5-seater nesting doll by himself, all the nesting dolls open up.

From 2 years 6 months to 3 years – the child learns to assemble a 6-seater nesting doll, and all the nesting dolls are detachable (open and close).

How to teach a child to connect a double doll?

In the first game with a matryoshka doll with a baby aged one and a half years, it is best to give the baby two matryoshka dolls - one large (in two parts), and the other small, one-piece. We will not only teach your child how to fold a matryoshka doll, but also introduce him to the words “big” and “small”.

Step 1. First we introduce the baby to the matryoshka doll. Show your child a large nesting doll, tell him how beautiful, bright, elegant it is, in a scarf and blouse (by commenting on our actions, we lay the foundation for the accumulation of words in the child’s vocabulary, even if he does not speak yet). Shake the nesting doll - Oh, it's rattling! What's rattling? Open the nesting doll and show the nesting doll - baby. Close the nesting doll and place two nesting dolls side by side in front of the baby.

Step 2. Play hide and seek with the nesting dolls - hide the small nesting doll in your palm. Where is the matryoshka? No matryoshka! Open your palms - Here is a matryoshka! Then let the baby try to hide the nesting doll in his palms. Where is she? No! Where is the nesting doll? Here she is!

Then take a large nesting doll and try to hide it in your palms. Big! You can’t hide it in your palms!

Ask your child to show you a small matryoshka and a large one. We can hide a small nesting doll in our palms, but not a large one.

We help the child with intonation: we talk about the big matryoshka in a lower voice, about the small one in a high and thin voice.

Step 3. Open a large matryoshka doll and invite your child to put a small doll in it. Ask your child to close the matryoshka doll with the other half. Rotate the matryoshka doll yourself to match the pattern on it. Praise the nesting doll, rejoice out loud - Beautiful matryoshka.

Step 4. Give your baby nesting dolls for independent play. Let him try to get a small nesting doll. Then it will close the big one. He will play with them.

Can be played a small scene. It is very important that the adult accompany the actions with the nesting dolls with simple syllables that the baby can repeat, for example: “The matryoshka walks top-top-top, the matryoshka sings la-la-la, the matryoshka jumps skok-skok-skok, the nesting doll drives a car beeeee- beep, the matryoshka fell! Bang! The matryoshka hid peek-a-boo. Let’s call the matryoshka go-go, go-go” or any other action that will be interesting to your baby. Let the child show you where the big matryoshka is and where the small one is.

Rhymes and songs for such performances are given below.

Step 5. We collect the matryoshka and she goes for a walk or goes home: “top, top, top.”

This way you can practice with nesting dolls starting from about 1 year 2 months to 1 year 6 months. One such game - a lesson with a child takes no more than 5-7 minutes, and it is better to repeat it several times with different actions of the nesting dolls in step 4.

If the child shows interest in the toy and easily copes with the tasks, then you can give him a three-seater nesting doll in the next game.

Rhymes for kids will help you play with the matryoshka toy:

When playing with a matryoshka, small songs are used, as well as rhymes with syllables that a child can repeat, finishing them after an adult.

Little legs,
Little feet!
We went for water
Little feet
Top-top-top. Top-top-top.
And we hurried home
Little feet

We danced at home
Little feet
La-la-la! La-la-la!
Oh, how they danced
Little feet.

We were traveling by car -
The horses have reached (name of the toy).
Beep beep! Beep beep!

We were traveling by car -
We reached mom
Beep beep! Beep beep!

Let's go by train
We got to dad's
Tu-tu-tu! Tu-tu-tu!

Let's go by train
We got to the ball
Tu-tu-tu! Tu-tu-tu!

We are funny nesting dolls,
Okay, okay!
We have boots on our feet

We tied scarves
Okay, okay!
Our cheeks are flushed
Okay, okay!

Rain, rain,

Wet paths.
We can't go for a walk.
We'll get our feet wet.

Sunshine - sunshine!
Shine a little light!
The kids will go out for a walk,
They will run and play

Jump - jump - high! (actions with a toy - high or low)
Jump-jump-low!
Jump-jump-high!
Jump - jump - low!

Chug-chug-chug-chug,
The train is rushing at full speed.
The locomotive puffs:
“I’m in a hurry!” buzzing!

Ay-lyuli-lyuli-lyuli.
We brought flowers.
Look, kids,
How beautiful the flowers are!
>

Bye-bye-baaaaainki,
Let's buy Katya boots,
Let's put it on the legs
Let's go on the path.

We are nesting dolls - we are all crumbs, Our palms are clean.
Look, look - look at the palms!

We are nesting dolls, we are all crumbs - we have new boots,
Look, look - look at the boots!

We are nesting dolls, we are all crumbs - this is how our legs dance.
Look, look - look at the legs!

We are nesting dolls, we are all crumbs, oh, our legs are tired,
Rest, rest, sit, rest.

We are nesting dolls, we are all babies, our legs are dancing again,
Look, look, look at the legs.

How to teach a child to assemble a three-seater nesting doll?

Typically, children learn to assemble a three-seater nesting doll at the age of 1 year 9 months - 2 years.

We will need three nesting dolls with a difference in size of 3-4 cm. For example, a small nesting doll can be 4-6 cm in size, a larger one - 7-9 cm, a large one - 10-12 cm). If your child has never played with nesting dolls before, then it is better to use the smallest one-piece matryoshka from the set.

If your child easily copes with this task, then complicate it and give him nesting dolls that differ from each other in height by 1.5-2 cm.

Step 1. Give your child three nesting dolls and ask them to show you the big one, the smaller one, the smallest one. Let the baby look at them carefully. Ask him to put the nesting dolls in a row: first small, then larger, then large.

Step 2. Then invite the child to open the nesting dolls and ask each matryoshka to give it its “skirt” (place the lower parts of the nesting dolls - their “skirts” opposite the upper part). Show yourself how to do this if you have any difficulties.

Tell them that the nesting dolls really want to try on their “skirts” and ask the baby to help them. “Where is the skirt for the largest nesting doll? Let's help and put the skirt on the nesting doll. Where is the smaller skirt for the nesting doll? Find a skirt for the smallest nesting doll. These nesting dolls are so beautiful!”

Step 3. Next, invite your child to “hide the nesting dolls” (i.e., assemble the nesting doll). At first, the baby may have difficulties - then he will need your help and guidance. Sometimes you may need to take his hand in yours and make the desired action with your baby’s hand.

In the future, when repeating the game with nesting dolls, the baby will become more independent. It should be taken into account that young children very quickly forget what they have learned, and therefore repeated repetition is necessary (at least 2-3 times the same task).

Next time An activity with a matryoshka can be done a little differently, for example, like this:

Step 1. Show the three-seater matryoshka doll, shake it. What's rattling? Take the middle matryoshka doll out of the nesting doll and place it next to it. How beautiful and elegant they are! Ask your baby to shake the big matryoshka and the small one. Oh! It turns out that something is also knocking inside the little one! What is this? Let the baby take out the smallest nesting doll.

Step 2. Place three nesting dolls in one row: big, small, and between them - average. Ask your child to show you where the big matryoshka is, where the small one is, and where the middle one is.

Step 3. We collect the matryoshka doll. First, you need to put a small one into the middle nesting doll (children often make mistakes in the assembly sequence, so check this point - which nesting doll should be hidden first). Show the 2 remaining nesting dolls. Then open the big one and put the middle one into it.

Step 4. Give the baby a toy to play independently. Let him take the nesting doll apart again, arrange the dolls in a row, and then put them together into one - “hide it.” Help me match the pattern on the matryoshka doll.

Games and activities with nesting dolls for young children:

Game 1. The matryoshka got lost.

Place three nesting dolls in a row from smallest to largest. Run your baby's palm over the heads of the nesting dolls - offer to stroke them (tactile sensations are important here - the hand slides down very smoothly). Cover the nesting dolls with a bright, opaque scarf (the nesting dolls are hidden). Remove one nesting doll and place the remaining two nesting dolls next to each other.

Remove the scarf and show the nesting dolls to the child. Say that one nesting doll is lost. Ask your child to find a place and put the nesting dolls in a row. We check the correctness: we stroke the nesting dolls on the head with our palm - the hand should move smoothly.

Game 2. Tea party.

Invite your child to give tea to three nesting dolls. A large nesting doll should be placed on a large chair, a medium one on a medium one, a small one on a small one (we build the chairs ourselves from a construction set, using cubes of three sizes). The cups can be fashioned in advance - large for a large nesting doll, medium for a medium one, small for a small one. The kid decides who should give which cup. We also distribute plates (circles of three sizes) to the nesting dolls. Matryoshka dolls say “thank you” to the child and praise him for tea and treats.

Game 3. Hide and seek.

Where is the matryoshka? Find it! Hide the nesting doll in the room and look for it together with your baby. Comment on your actions: “Where is the nesting doll?” On the table? No, not on the table. Under the table? And not under the table! On the chair? Not on the chair! Where is she? On the shelf!

Game 4. Sunshine and rain

At the signal “rain” you need to hide the nesting dolls in the house. At the signal “sun”, the nesting dolls go for a walk.

Game 5. Construction (getting acquainted with the size of objects) - beds for nesting dolls.

Place two nesting dolls and put building material next to them. Together with your baby, build two cribs out of bricks - a large one and a small one. Ask your child to determine whose crib is whose. Similarly, you can build two tables or two chairs of different sizes. For a large matryoshka - a large bed, and for a small one - a small one. You can put the nesting dolls to sleep and sing them a lullaby along with your child.

Game 6. Surprises.

You will need several nesting dolls, inside of which you will put bright colored scraps of fabric. It’s good if different figures are drawn on the scraps - a bunny, squirrels, circles, snowflakes. You can completely hide the surprises inside the nesting dolls, or you can make the corners stick out.

Call the baby dolls. Tell your child that the nesting dolls brought him gifts and invite him to look at them. To do this, you need to open the nesting doll. If the baby doesn’t succeed, then take his hand in yours and make a slight turn with the baby’s hand so that the nesting doll opens. Consider the surprises that the nesting dolls “brought.”

Then collect each nesting doll.

Game 7. Matryoshkas buy handkerchiefs.

Take three nesting dolls of different sizes - large, medium and small. Tell them that the nesting dolls went to the store to buy new beautiful scarves. Invite your child to choose a handkerchief for each nesting doll. There may be two options for tasks for the child. You can choose a scarf by size (for a large nesting doll - a large scarf, for a medium one - medium, for a small one - small), or by color. For example, if a matryoshka has a blue apron, then a blue handkerchief will suit it; for a matryoshka in a red apron, a red one will suit it.

Game 8. The nesting dolls are mixed up.

Place the nesting dolls in a row out of order - they are mixed up. The child needs to arrange the nesting dolls in a row from largest to smallest.

Game 9. Top, top, top.

First, show your child how the big matryoshka steps and how the little one steps along these lines:

The legs began to walk (the matryoshka “steps”), top, top, top.

Straight along the path - top, top, top.

Come on, more fun - stomp, stomp, stomp!

That's how we do it - top, top, top!

Boots are stomping -

Top, top, top!

These are our legs -

Top, top, top!

The big nesting doll walks slowly, we say “top-top” in a low voice. The little nesting doll is walking quickly - we speak in a thin voice.

Then offer to walk like a big nesting doll and like a little one to the lines of the verse.

Game 10. Play with a handkerchief.

Show your child how a matryoshka doll dances with a handkerchief (play out a scene with a toy).

I'll wave a handkerchief

And I’ll dance with a handkerchief.

You, scarlet handkerchief,

Spin around

And to the little kids

Show yourself!

Then give the baby a handkerchief in his hands and invite him to dance with the handkerchief like a nesting doll - show him the movements.

For young children, the task of holding a handkerchief by the corner and doing simple dance movements at the same time is a rather complex task that requires a good level of development of motor coordination and fine motor skills. If your baby loses a handkerchief, sew a loop on the handkerchief. Place the loop on his index finger, and the child will hold the handkerchief with his thumb and middle finger (I found this technique in the book by I. A. Vyrodova - great idea!) The baby will wave the handkerchief from side to side while dancing.

Game 11. Learning to count.

Place small pebbles (up to 5) or nuts or date pits inside the nesting dolls. Close the nesting dolls.

Shake the nesting dolls - together with your child, try to guess by the sound how many pebbles (nuts or seeds) are in the nesting doll. Then open and check by counting them.

Game 12. Guess what's inside - developing memory.

Take 6 nesting dolls. Place a small object (shell, pebble, candy, small toy) in each of them. Close the nesting dolls. The task is to remember and name what is hidden in each nesting doll.

If the task of remembering 6 objects is easy for a child, then you can complicate the task - take 8 nesting dolls for the game.

Game 13. What does that sound like? Development of fine motor skills.

Together with your child, pour different fillings into the nesting dolls - peas, beans, buckwheat, beads (the task develops fine motor skills - the child himself puts the peas into the doll). Then close the dolls and try to guess by the sound what is in them. Then open the nesting dolls and check. Did you guess?

Game 14. Guess the nesting doll.

To play you need a set of nesting dolls in different designs (different colored aprons, flowers on a scarf and other details). Guess which nesting doll I'm talking about? (we give a description of the nesting doll, and the baby, listening carefully to you, guesses)

I am sure that you will also come up with many entertaining educational games with nesting dolls for kids! I wish you success!
