Teaching a child is a painstaking process, but exciting and interesting. Understanding the months and seasons is essential for further learning, scheduling and timing skills.
Instructions
Step 1
Children have associative thinking. They cannot remember most of the abstract concepts. Children need to associate them with some way. Therefore, for clarity, make the game "Seasons." Take a large white sheet of paper and outline it into twelve squares - four rows of three cells. Color each row in a different color. Winter - in blue, spring - in green, summer - in yellow or red, autumn - in orange. Explain to the child why they chose these colors, for what reason they are associated with this or that season.
Step 2
While the playing field is drying, make cards. Cut out twelve squares, the same size as the squares on the board. Get magazines or pictures from the internet. Write the name of the month on each card, then cut out the appropriate pictures and glue them onto the cards, which may include not only pictures of nature, but also food, vegetables or fruits appropriate for the season, or clothing that is suitable for the season. Also, on each card, draw a small thermometer and mark the average temperature of the month on it. The data can be viewed on the Internet or a biology or geography textbook. Try to tell your child as many nuances as possible about each month so that he can imagine the season and month in detail in his imagination.
Step 3
Turn the cards face down and pull out one at a time. Have the child place them on the field and try to tell as much as possible about the month from memory. You also take part in the game. You can name the month incorrectly several times, let the child correct you. Then ask the child when his birthday, in what month, when are relatives' birthdays and big holidays. Sign them onto cards. When you realize that the child has memorized the names of the months and is bored with the game, you can glue the cards to the field or attach them with a stapler and hang on the wall so that the field is always in front of your eyes and reminds the child of the months and seasons.
