Using games and exercises to develop the ability to build sentences correctly | Educational and methodological material on speech therapy on the topic:
The use of games and exercises to develop the ability to build sentences correctly.
It is known that the formation of correct oral speech is a complex and lengthy process. Mastering the native language, both in normal and with various speech disorders, proceeds in the form of assimilation of sentences of different types.
The formation of a sentence structure in a child's speech is a spontaneous process. No one teaches a child who is learning his native language according to sentence patterns, as is done when learning a foreign language in adulthood. Already in early childhood, in the process of communication with the mother, during the objective, game activity mediated by the word, the main structural schemes of the sentence are formed.
However, syntax acquisition is not completed at an early age. It continues further in the process of mastering new forms of speech and verbal communication.
When working on a sentence, it must be taken into account that in the process of learning a child must master the ability to deploy, distribute a sentence, rebuild its structure with the same content, depending on intonation. The offer has a linear extent. In games and exercises, this property is emphasized and becomes clear when laying out a diagram from strips of paper. It is necessary to pay attention to the distribution of words in a sentence and to accustom children to various sentence patterns.
Suggested tasks may vary depending on the stage of work, kindergarten program, population and age of children.
- Playing the loto "Who is doing what?"
Lotto cards show people and animals performing various actions. The speech therapist calls the action, the children find the corresponding picture and name the sentence.
If the sentence is reproduced correctly, the picture is closed with a chip.
For example, a speech therapist calls the word jumps, children find a picture of this action (a hare jumps, a horse jumps, a frog jumps) and close the pictures with chips after reproducing the sentences.
Cards are offered for verbs: walking, standing, lying, sitting, running, swimming, flying, sleeping, stroking, jumping, crawling, swinging, etc.
- “Make a sentence”.
Children must complete the sentence and then repeat it in full (in chorus and individually).
Round tomato and carrot...
Small radish and radish...
Oval cucumber and pumpkin...
Large marrow and pumpkin...
Bitter onion and carrot...
Sour tomato, but garlic...
Green cucumber, but beetroot...
Carrot in the ground, but tomato...
- ?”, “What?”, “What?”
The (what?) sun has risen…
Choose as many words as possible that answer the question “What?” (The sun is bright, brilliant, red, crimson, large;.
...).
- Add a word to the sentence answering the question "How?".
For example: A turtle crawls (how?) slowly. The sun shines (how?) brightly.
- "Make a proposal."
Purpose. Teach children to make simple sentences.
Equipment. surrounding objects.
Description of the game. The teacher gives the children tasks one by one, they make up sentences according to their actions, for example: “Petya, fields the flowers”. The child completes the task. The children say what Petya is doing: "Petya is watering the flowers."
"Olya, collect the cubes." The task is running. Children say what Olya is doing: "Olya collects cubes."
"Masha bring the doll." Children say what Masha is doing: “Masha brought a doll”, etc.
The teacher makes sure that the children do not omit words in the sentence.

“Then we could buy something for ourselves.” “What would you like to buy yourself?” “Bread, cheese, apples.” “What if the bakers don’t bake bread?” “Then we would go to grandma,” the children find a way out. “What if the trains didn’t run?”
Option 2. Later, the children start the game themselves, for example:
“What if the workers in the factory stopped making shoes?” etc.
It is necessary to demand from children the full use of a complex sentence, for example: “If the cook had not cooked dinner, we would have eaten a bun with milk”, etc.
For each correct answer, children receive a token. The winner is the one who has the most chips at the end of the game.
