Games for the development of speech of a child 5 - 6 years old | Consultation on the development of speech (senior group) on the topic:

Games for the development of the speech of a child of 5, 6 years

Games, the purpose of which is the development of the correct speech of children, the expansion of vocabulary and the study of grammar. Games for kindergarten and for home.

Days of the week

Number of players: 1-6 people.

◈ Say the days of the week by clapping your hands to the syllables as the children memorize and then guess which day you are 'clapping'.

◈ The children will soon see that there are days for four claps (Sunday and Monday), for two claps (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday), and for three claps (Friday and Saturday).

◈ Clap your hands when you say: "Sun-Sun-Sun, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sat. ".

◈ You can clap your hands over the syllables again, saying the days of the week first in a loud voice (four-syllables - Sunday, Monday), then in a low voice (two-syllables - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) and finally in a normal voice (three-syllables - Friday, Saturday) .

Listen to the words

◈ Choose three words about the same topic, such as the village. These three words could be "cow", "meadow" and "pumpkin". Make up a story using these three words or read a fairy tale. Ask the children to listen carefully to this story and jump up and down whenever they hear one of these three words.

◈ This game becomes especially fun if you use these words a lot in the story.

Rhyme time

Number of players: 1-6 people

◈ Tell the children that you are going to look for words that rhyme with bicycle.

◈ Describe the rhyming word and let the children guess what it is. For example: a word that rhymes with the word "bicycle" is a theatrical performance where they dance beautifully (ballet). Or: the word that rhymes with the word "bicycle" is what is sent to grandma in a letter (hello).

◈ Think of other options for the rhyme.

If I…

◈ Start the sentence with “If I…”. Ask the children to think of possible outcomes, for example, in these situations:

♦ If I water the flowers...

♦ If I pack my toys...

♦ If I go out in the summer wearing a coat...

♦ If I will go to bed in my clothes...

♦ If I turn on the hot water tap in the bathroom...

◈ Then you can think of answers to the same situations, but with the “NOT” particle.

Apple Relay

Number of players: 1-6 people

Equipment: apples, matches.

◈ Players are each given an apple studded with the same number of matches, heads out. Ask the children to take turns pulling out a match and name epithets for the word "apple" (ruddy, bulk, golden, etc.).

◈ You can remember fairy tales that talk about apples, read poetry, remember riddles, proverbs, etc.

Guess the fairy tale

◈ The facilitator says a few words to the children (they can be written on paper). You have to guess which story it is. For example:

♦ Sun, snow, glass, mirror, rose, friendship (“The Snow Queen”).

♦ Grass, nettle, ring, toad, patience (“Wild Swans”).

♦ Hollow, witch, soldier, dog, princess ("Flint").

◈ You can increase the number of words until the children guess what fairy tale is. Or change the order of the game: name a fairy tale and ask them to choose a few words that characterize it.

Part and whole

Number of players: 2-6 people

Inventory: ball

Option 1

◈ The leader stands in front of the players, he has a ball in his hands. He throws the ball to any participant in the game and at the same time names the detail of an object.

◈ The one to whom the ball is thrown must catch it and immediately name the object to which the part called the leader belongs. For example: a wing is an airplane (or a bird), a petal is a flower, a screen is a TV, etc.

Option 2

◈ The leader, throwing the ball, says the initial part of a word. The participant of the game catches the ball and immediately finishes the word. For example: joy, flower, fairy tale, etc.

Who is bigger?

◈ Ask the children to name as many words as they can that begin with a certain letter or syllable. It is better to prepare for this game in advance and have a small list of words with you.

◈ You can help children by describing an object.

Fairyland

Number of players: 1-6 people

◈ An adult invites children to take an imaginary journey through the country where the glass people live.

◈ Together with the children, he names the different properties of glass: it is transparent, fragile, it can be washed, it can be colored, etc.

◈ Based on these signs, children, with the help of an adult, describe how glass men live.

◈ For this game, an adult should be well prepared and have a list of questions about the life of fabulous people. The children can then “move” to plasticine, wood, wire country, etc.

Opposites

◈ Ask the children to name words that are the opposite of what you say (antonyms). For example: sour - sweet, large - small, etc.

Say the opposite

Number of players: 1-6 people

Inventory: ball.

Learn a poem with your child:

I will say the word “high”,

And you will answer “low”.

I will say the word "far",

And you will answer - "close".

I will tell you the word "coward",

You will answer - "brave".

Now I will say “beginning”,

And you say “end”.

◈ Offer to play antonyms. You, throwing the ball to the child, name the word, and the child picks up another word that is opposite in meaning to it and throws the ball to you. You can use the following pairs of words:

♦ Grury - sad

♦ Fast - Slow

♦ Beautiful - Ugly

♦ Empty

♦ High - Fat

♦ Small - silly

♦ Hardwork - lazy

♦ Light

♦ white - black

♦ hard - soft

♦ rough - smooth, etc.

One hundred questions

Number of players: 1-6 people.

Equipment: 5-6 common objects familiar to children (for example: a cone, an apple, a spoon, a book, a belt, etc.), a set of 50-60 chips.

◈ The game is played as a competition. The adult takes turns showing the children objects and asking them to ask any questions about them. Questions can even be funny and unbelievable - the main thing is to have as many of them as possible.

◈ For each question asked, the child receives one token. The one with the most chips wins.

Nonsense

◈ Tell the children about prefixes like non-, semi-, anti-, super-, micro-, maxi-, archi-, etc. It is necessary that the children memorize the meaning of each prefix.

◈ Children sit in a circle, for each leader chooses one prefix. Then he calls any word (dog, apple, plate, etc.) and asks the children, putting their prefix to it, to tell how the thing that has received the new name will change. For example, what does an anti-dog look like, what is its character, how does it behave, etc.
