Dating games in kindergarten, preparatory group

1. Hurricane - children stand in a line. The teacher asks to change those who have something in common (you can start with hair color, T-shirt color). Later names are added: let the guys with the same name or whose name begins with the letter “M” change. At the word “Hurricane” everyone runs to their original places.
2. When greeting , you need to shake each other’s hands within a certain amount of time and ask for their name. Then everyone remembers the names of those with whom they greeted.
3. Three words about yourself - you need to say your name and describe yourself in three words.
4. Squirrel - two parallel lines are drawn on the floor, near which the guys are standing. The teacher asks that those who listen to foreign music be on the right, and those in their native language on the left. Children need to run to the appropriate line without colliding.
5. I love - the teacher lists dishes or products, and the child, if he loves him, must clap his hands. This way you can identify with whom children have similar tastes.

1. Whose voice? – the presenter stands with his back to the children sitting in a semicircle. One of the guys must pronounce any word, for example, an object that he sees in the room. The presenter guesses who the voice belongs to.
2. Whose things? - The children’s things are put in the box: toys, hairpins, gloves. Then the teacher takes out the item, and the children must name whose it is.
3. Find the toy – the toy is hidden in the crib or closet. The teacher prompts: “She is in Katya’s crib,” “The toy is in Lesha’s locker.”
4. How to get there - the guys scatter around the group and sit in different places. The second part of the children one by one approaches the teacher and asks: “How to get to Dima? How to get to Polina? The teacher answers: “Take three steps” or “Dima for the flower.”
5. Come to us - children are divided into two teams and stand opposite each other at a distance of several meters, holding hands. One team asks the second player, for example, Kolya. He must run between the guys of the opposing team to unclasp their hands. If successful, he takes one of the players to his team, if not, he stands between these players.

2. Snowball - the first child says his name. The second says the name of the first and his own, the third name of the first, second pupil and adds his own and so on in a circle until the names of all the children are listed.
3. My favorite activity is that children are given lists of things to do: I like to snowboard, I break dance, I like to read. There are about ten positions in total. The guys need to write in front of these things the names of the guys who have the same hobbies as those on the list.

To make it easier for children to remember names, associate them with something, combine them with namesakes, play the name game several times. Children themselves may be embarrassed to ask each other’s names, so the task of the teacher and educator is to call children by name loudly and often.
