In 2014, our country hosted a bright and large-scale event, the XXII Olympic Winter Games.
At the preschool educational institution we implemented the project “Together we will win!”, dedicated to these games. To make introducing children to the Olympic Games and winter sports more interesting and exciting, I made several educational games. Didactic games, compared to other types of games, have a characteristic feature: they are a source of knowledge in sports and physical education. Making such games in this age of ICT is not difficult. We download pictures, make up games, print them, and laminate them to make them last a long time. And now every year, when the “Winter Sports” themed week is implemented in January, educators use them in their work. In continuous educational activities, ideas about the Olympic Games and winter sports are formed. At the same time, children’s citizenship and patriotic feelings are formed. After all, such a large-scale event as the XXII Olympic Winter Games took place in our country in Sochi. This topic also allows you to develop interest in the events taking place in the country, cultivate a sense of pride in its achievements, and respect for your compatriots-athletes.

They have a desire to be like great athletes and to play sports. More often there is a desire to implement knowledge about the Olympic Games and winter sports in independent activities.

Before the game, preschool children have a conversation about balls, outdoor and sports games where balls are used. This game features balls: soccer, volleyball, basketball, tennis, rubber, inflatable. How to play 2-4 participants can play at the same time. Each player is dealt seven cards (dominoes), free cards are sent to the reserve. The right to make the first move is determined by lot (you can throw a die). Then the move proceeds clockwise and the next player must place a card in accordance with the image of the balls (following the principle of classic dominoes). If a player does not have a card to move, then he takes one card at a time from the reserve until a card suitable for a move appears or the free cards run out. If there are no more cards in the reserve, then the player who has nothing to move misses his move. The game ends when one of the players has laid out all his cards.
