Play is the most important type of independent activity of children, contributing to their physical and mental development. To get a child interested in a game means to teach him to play with pleasure. Lack of interest is most often associated not only with the lack of toys, but also with the inability and ignorance of children how to use these toys in the game.
Necessary
- - plot toys;
- - substitute items;
- - table games.
Instructions
Step 1
Be sure to show your 2-year-old how to roll a car or build a turret out of bricks. At this age, they play with household items that they see in the hands of mom or dad and try to use them for their intended purpose. For a story game, get a small iron, vacuum cleaner, hammer, telephone and other items that you use all the time. While you are doing housework, your child will play next to you.
Step 2
Play pair games with a 3-4 year old baby. interest in the game appears only with the playing partner. For example, an adult is a doctor, and a child is a patient (or brings his daughter to see a doctor). An adult has the opportunity to demonstrate to a child how to use certain medical instruments, as well as what they can be replaced with if there is no needed one: a pencil instead of a thermometer, a point instead of a bottle of milk for a daughter.
Step 3
Organize a story game with children 5-6 years old, help to choose game attributes and watch the actions of the players, because often the unfolding of the plot requires correction on the part of an adult: physical punishment, a quarrel between parents. Or just distract from the plot with board games. Offer to do a board game together, introduce the rules. Let me develop new rules for the game, agree on them with other players.
Step 4
Start playing a story-driven game with a child who is giving up games and finding other activities for themselves. It is necessary to determine the interests of the preschooler and organize the game based on them. For example, a sluggish child cannot play catch-up, but composes poetry and draws illustrations for them. Play with him in the library or bookstore, design a book of his author's poems. Other children will immediately be there, and one of them will definitely want to play with you.
