Speech games with preschool children on the topic “Fruits”
Game 1. Ladder in the garden. Choose a word.
Together with your child, come up with as many words as you can about what kinds of fruits there are. For example, today we will play with the word “apple” - “What kind of apple can there be?”, and next time with the word “pear” - “What kind of pear can there be?” You can choose words on the road, on a walk, on the bus or in the car. But the best thing is to play!
How to generate interest in a word matching game?
Speech exercises are difficult for children, so it is best to carry them out in a playful way and so that the child can clearly see the result of his efforts. I came up with my own technique for this - “visual game assessment of the result of speech.” This is how I do it.
I usually draw a large tree on an easel with a felt-tip pen (you can also draw a tree on a piece of paper or on a board). On the tree I draw fruits, but they must be drawn very high from the ground. There is a ladder next to the tree. The staircase is drawn as two vertical parallel lines. But - this is important - there are no steps drawn on it!
How we play: we select words and climb up the stairs to get fruit. One word = one step.
As soon as we have chosen one word, I draw one step. We found another word - I draw another step. How many words were chosen - so many steps appeared on the ladder! With each word, more steps are added, and we climb higher and higher (you can rearrange the children’s figures according to the image of the ladder). The task is to get to the top of the tree, and for this you need to choose a lot of words!
There should definitely be a pleasant surprise waiting for children at the top of the tree! When children take an apple (or plum) from the crown of a tree, on the back of the picture they should find something - a plan indicating the place where a surprise is hidden, a riddle, a small gift, a beautiful piece of paper, words of congratulations from the Gardener, a drawn medal, magic words etc.
Hint for adults
Words for the game: fragrant, big, tasty, tasteless, sour, sweet, rosy, tender, fragrant, juicy, bulk, red, yellow, golden, striped, ripe immature, ripe, round, oval, elongated, soft, hard, rotten , wormy, dried, large, small, boiled, summer, early, early ripening, southern.
Helpful advice:
- It is better if you say in this game words that are rarely found in everyday communication (“fragrant apple”, “fragrant apple”, “ripe apple”), and the children will select simpler words (“sweet apple”, “round apple”) ", "ruddy apple"). If children find it difficult, then you can suggest words to the kids with a gesture, suggest the first syllable, remind them of a familiar line from a poem in which this word appears
- This game is difficult for children at first. But later, interest and attention to words and expressive speech develops. Children begin to be very attentive to the words and literary texts that are read to them, listen to the speech of adults and notice vivid figurative epithets in it. Therefore, the game is very useful for developing attention to language, for enriching and activating children’s vocabulary, and for preparing for school.
- I really love reading Y. Akim’s poem to children, which contains many expressive epithets. Listen to it as a child and find beautiful, special, expressive words in it.
“The apple is ripe, red, sweet, the apple is crisp, with a smooth skin. I’ll split the apple in half, I’ll share the apple with my friend.” (Ya. Akim).
Here are more poems about apples, in which there are many beautiful figurative words for speech play.
Fragrant, rosy, Some are sweet, some are spicy, Some are sour, some are tart, Some are soft, some are strong. There are fresh, dried, and even soaked.
The most important sweet fruit grows in our garden. It is amber and fragrant, sweet and sour, golden. Large, round and crispy, the King's son is real! There is one with a ruddy side and a cheerful worm. Our apple tree amazingly gave us a lot of apples: very sweet, aromatic, and so pleasant to the taste.
Game 2. I know.
The first player begins: I know a lot of fruits: an apple. The second player continues: I know a lot of fruits: apple and pear. The third builds the chain further: “I know a lot of fruits: apple, pear and plum.” The task is to continue the chain and not confuse anything. An adult can make a deliberate mistake in a game, for example, naming a vegetable instead of a fruit. Will children notice this mistake?
The game develops attention and memory.
Tips for playing the game:
For children, the chain should not be too big! If there are a lot of children playing, then it is better to compose not one long chain of words, which is difficult to remember, but several chains.
When making a chain, you can string large wooden parts onto a cord. This way we can clearly see how many words we have remembered and selected.
Game 3. Let's collect fruits in a basket.
Each player names one fruit. If he named correctly, then he puts the cube in the basket. One word is one cube. The task is to fill the basket with words - cubes, remembering and naming as many fruits as possible. You can play against the clock - you need to fill the basket in 2 minutes. This is a fairly long period of time, sufficient to complete the task.
What children can name: apple, pear, quince, cherry plum, shadberry, apricot, peach, plum, lemon, orange, grapefruit, tangerine, pomegranate, pineapple, persimmon, banana, mango, avocado, kiwi and other fruits.
You can “put” in the basket not only the names of fruits, but also phrases. For example: “fragrant apple” - put a cube. Now we need to come up with the next phrase - “golden pear”. Next is a new phrase – “blue plum”. And so we fill the basket.
Game 4. Classification. Fruits and vegetables.
Children are given pictures of mixed fruits and vegetables. You need to put fruits in one basket and vegetables in another.
Be sure to ask your child: “Why do you think this is a fruit?”
To summarize children’s ideas about fruits and clarify the general concept of “fruit,” with children 4 years of age and older, you can conduct an exercise with pictures to develop logical thinking, “What are fruits?”
Step 1. Place 3-4 pictures of fruits in front of the child. For example, apple, pineapple, banana, plum. You can also use real fruits or dummies. Ask what's different
these items?
Let the child compare
them with each other and tell them that they differ: a) in color - “the plum is purple and the apple is scarlet”, b) in size “the plum is small and the pineapple is large”, c) the nature of the surface (smooth, rough), d) shape (round, oval, long - short).
Step 2. After this, ask the main question: “ How are these pictures similar?” What do these items have in common?
" It's a difficult question. If necessary, help your child with guiding questions.
- What do people do with them? Are eating. So, they are similar in that they are what? Right! Edible.
- Where do they grow?
Yes, they all grow not on the ground, but on trees, in the garden. - Can they grow on their own in a field or forest?
No. Who planted them? Human! Can they grow without care or watering? So how are they similar?
Step 3. After discussion, conclude with your child that all these pictures depict plants - fruits. And again discuss the main characteristics of fruits. Fruits are plants, they are always edible, they grow in the garden, they are planted and grown by people, people take care of them. People make jam, compotes, jellies, marmalade and other delicious treats from fruits.
Step 4. Ask them to select fruits from pictures of different foods. Why is this a fruit, you ask? Maybe it's a vegetable? Emphasize the difference - fruits grow on trees in the garden. And vegetables grow on the ground in the garden.
Game 5. What is made from fruits? Cheerful cooks.
At the beginning of the game, we remember all the dishes that are made from fruits. Remember the most favorite dishes of your children and your family.
Hint for adults: juice, compote, jelly, fruit drink, jam, jelly, marmalade, candied fruits, raisins, dried apricots and other dried fruits, Turkish delight are made from fruits. Do you remember anything else? I will be glad to see your additions in the comments after the article.
And then we start playing with the children - “cooking” their favorite dish. For example, let's make marmalade. We depict how we stir the mass in a saucepan, how we spread it with a spoon on a baking sheet, and then cut it into slices with a knife and treat the toys. And at this time we talk about marmalade, learning to form adjectives from nouns.
Let's make marmalade from different fruits, and we will succeed (we start the phrase, and the children suggest the answer). Apple marmalade - what should we call it? Apple.
- Plum marmalade – what kind? Plum. (A common mistake is “creamy”! Please note to the child that creamy is made from cream. And made from plums is plum)
- And from pears? Attention! There are common mistakes here, the correct option is pear.
- And what kind of peaches? Peach!
- From apricots - ? Apricot.
- From orange - ? Orange.
- From tangerine - ? Tangerine.
And then we start playing in the cafe. Each time we don’t just say a word, but depict a whole scene - we treat visitors, taste it, lick our lips, make suggestions, ask questions. And at this time we say: “Oh, how fragrant our apple marmalade turned out. Would you like to try the pear one? Maybe you’ll like plum better?” If a child makes a typical mistake, for example, says “apple” instead of “apple,” then it is best to treat the guests – the toys – with apple marmalade, saying this word many times in the game in different phrases: “Would you like to treat yourself to apple marmalade? It is very tasty!". Or: “Our apple marmalade is very aromatic and not cloying, you will like it!”
One of the options for such a game is to persuade the character to try apple marmalade, praising it in every possible way. And each time repeating its name and reinforcing the correct version of the word in speech. Naturally, at first the toy refuses, and then agrees. And she really, really likes apple marmalade. And your baby, while playing, masters a new word for him, and will no longer make mistakes in it! And before you know it, you will learn to speak grammatically correctly!
In the future , you will only need to remind him of the correct option in everyday communication: “Remember, we played with fruits. What is the correct name for apple marmalade? Correct your mistake. What a clever girl! Yes, apple!” Never repeat your child's mistakes. It is very important for a child to hear grammatically correct speech from adults!
Game 6. Call me affectionately.
- Apple - ? Bullseye.
- Plum - ? — Slivka
- Apricot - ? - Apricot.
- Pear - ? - Grushka.
- Orange - ? - Orange.
- Mandarin - ? - Tangerine.
- Lemon - ? Lemon.
Game 7. Wizards.
Give your child a magic wand and let him turn into a wizard. An ordinary pencil wrapped in foil can act as a stick. For beauty, you can attach a brush, bell or other attribute of magic to the pencil.
The task of our little wizards is to grow a lot of fruit. An evil wizard bewitched the garden, and only one apple grew in it. But our little wizard waves his magic wand, and a lot of things happen? Apples!
- There was one plum, a wave of the stick, and it turned out to be a lot? Drain.
- Instead of one orange, many grew? Oranges.
- There was one pineapple, but now there are a lot of other things? Pineapples.
- There was one pear. Has it become too much? Grush.
- There was one banana hanging on a branch, but now there are a lot? Bananas.
In this grammar game, your child gets to know the genitive plural of nouns. You will be able to see and correct common grammatical errors. For example, children may say that there are a lot of “apples” instead of the correct version of “apples.” Children often say that there are a lot of “pears” or “pears” instead of the correct version of “pears”. If the kids make mistakes, then play the following game with them to consolidate their speech skills.
Game 8. What happened.
Place 6 pictures in front of your child. Each picture depicts fruits: bananas, apples, pears, plums, pineapples (you can take another list of pictures). Let the baby close his eyes, and at this time you remove one of the pictures. What's missing? Grush.
In this game, the child also learns to correctly use words in the genitive case.
Visual material (pictures)+ for this game and other games in the article
has already been posted in the section of the website “Library of games, pictures and materials for activities with children” - “Fruits: pictures for children, tasks, speech games.”
Game 9. Fourth wheel.
- Lemon, tangerine, orange, cucumber.
- Pineapple, boletus, apple, pear.
- Pear, plum, fruit, kiwi.
- Plum, pear, compote, apple.
Be sure to ask children why they chose this particular word as extra. Children have their own logic, and it also has the right to life! In addition, the ability to explain and prove one’s point of view, to build arguments is very important in life and begins to develop in a child in preschool age! Take advantage of these baby development opportunities!
Game 10. Guess who?
This entertaining and fun game makes it very easy to learn how to use genitive plural nouns correctly. It happens so naturally! Children love to play, they play the game many times, and each time they develop and consolidate their speech skills without any teaching, boring exercises or long explanations - naturally and playfully!
To play you will need pictures, each of which depicts several fruits. You need two identical sets.
One of the children is the leader. He is given one set of pictures. All participants in the game take a picture from another set.
The presenter's task is to guess who has what. The dialogue goes like this:
— Do you have lemons? No, I don't have lemons! Do you have oranges? No, I don't have any oranges ! Do you have apples? No, I don't have apples ! Do you have pears? No. I don't have pears! Do you have tangerines? Yes, I have tangerines.
It is discussed in advance how many questions the presenter can ask one player. Usually this is 4-5 questions. If he was able to guess, then the children change roles in the game. The presenter becomes the player, and the child whose picture was guessed goes on to guess further.
If the presenter has not guessed right after 4 questions, then he continues to guess.
You can play this game together with your baby. Then the adult asks questions, and the child answers. Then switch roles.
