Didactic games are a type of games for the purpose of teaching and raising children. Didactic games were specially created by teachers to teach children. They are aimed at solving specific problems of teaching children, but at the same time, they demonstrate the educational and developmental influence of gaming activities. This is one of the methods of active learning for preschoolers and elementary school students, and this is no coincidence. A child will not sit and listen to a boring lecture or report; he will not remember anything, because he is not interested in it. The child loves to play. Therefore, pedagogy has combined business with pleasure; by playing didactic games, the child learns without even knowing it. He's interested. He remembers. We offer many educational games on completely different topics to educators and primary school teachers, as well as parents on the 7guru website.
Board games for speech development for preschoolers: modern, exciting printed board games and cards for activities with children in kindergarten, children's center and in the family.
Board games for speech development for preschoolers
Board games are always loved by children, interesting to them, and useful. There are many board speech games - various “walkers”, dominoes, lotto, and various sound tracks, cubes with symbols. These are games for the development of vocabulary, coherent speech, phonemic perception, grammatical structure of a child’s speech, imagination and thinking, attention and perception.
Modern board speech games for children are very different from their predecessors in their entertaining form of presenting material, interactivity, versatility, and quality of printing and cardboard. They combine clearly thought-out game content, a convenient card format, and print quality. The cards are made from special durable paper that can withstand the pressure of curious children's hands and is resistant to abrasion. The cards are dense and at the same time light, do not tear, do not get dirty, they are comfortable to hold in your hands, they have a child-safe shape without sharp corners.
In this article I want to introduce you to new products - modern board speech games for preschoolers, developed by specialist teachers and published by Mersibo.
Section 1. Board games for the development of phonemic awareness of a preschool child
Speech game 1. Star from the sky
Children's age:“Star from the Sky” is a fun game to develop speech for children aged 4 years and older.
Why this game is useful: The game develops children's phonemic awareness, teaches them to distinguish between sounds s and z, helps automate the correct pronunciation of these sounds in words, teaches them to compose sentences with given words, develops memory, and teaches them to describe pictures.
Where can you use this game: The game can be used in developmental classes with children at home, in a children's center, with teachers in a kindergarten, as well as in classes of a speech pathologist.
How many children can play the game: from one to four children at a time.
The game set includes: laces (4 laces and 4 fasteners) and cards with stars (32 pictures - stars with words with the sounds S and Z, made of very thick high-quality cardboard).
How to play the game: three variants of the board game “Star from the Sky”
Option 1.
- Players determine which of them will catch stars with the sound s, and who will catch stars with the sound z.
- Next, one by one, players take a star, turn it over and name the picture. If the picture is named correctly, then the player strings it on his string. He caught a star from the sky!
- The game ends when the children have all the stars.
Option 2.
- The presenter takes the star and does not show the children his picture. He describes what is drawn in his picture. Children guess. If the child guesses right, he takes this star for himself and strings it on his cord.
- Whoever collected the most stars (or whose team guessed more - collected the stars) won the game today.
Option 3.
- Children make up a sentence with the word shown in the picture of the star. If the child's proposal is accepted by the players, then he strings the star on a cord. If it is not accepted, then he comes up with another proposal or clarifies the first one.
- At the end of the game, players look at each other's stars and remember who named which sentence.
Speech game 2. Ram or roach
In this game we will go fishing with the children and catch fish. But our fish will be unusual. On the back of the fish cards there are pictures of words with the sounds R or L.
The game set includes: 32 fish with pictures for the sound R or sound L, 4 laces and 4 clamps.
How many players can play the game at the same time: from 1 to 4 children.
This game is built on the same principle as the game “Star from the Sky”, but is aimed at consolidating the correct pronunciation of the sounds R and L in words and phrases. It develops the child’s memory, attention, phonemic hearing, and the ability to compose sentences.
Game options the same as in the previous board game for children:
Option 1. Children catch fish with their strings. Someone catches “ram” and other pictures - fish with the sound R, and names what is drawn on the fish he caught. And someone catches “roach” and other pictures with the sound L. The game ends when all the fish are caught. Which fisherman had luck fishing today? 🙂
Option 2. The game leader (at first an adult) catches a fish, but does not show the picture to the children. He describes it, and the children guess what kind of picture the fish brought him. Whoever guessed right takes this fish and strings it on his own string. The fisherman who has the most “catch” in this board game wins.
Option 3. Players make sentences with words. And at the end of the game they remember who came up with what proposal.

Education of sound culture of speech. Game material. 1. Draw a clock dial, divided into two halves (yellow and green). Along the edge of the dial in the upper and lower parts we glue the same number of circles (five each). We laminate with transparent self-adhesive. 2. Attach a double arrow in the center of the layout. Using double-sided tape, glue a transparent pocket onto each circle. 3. Then we fix the clock on a cardboard base. 4. Select subject pictures (on circles the same size as the circles on the clock).

Educational game for children
"Flower Glade"
Making a game is not difficult. We take any cardboard box. We make holes in it, cut out bottle necks and screw them into the box. Then we cut out flowers of the main colors - green, red, blue, yellow and select caps of the same colors.
Target: fixing color; development of hand motor skills, counting skills.
Variations of games can be different, for example:
. choose flowers according to the color of their centers;
. lay out flowers of one specific color;
.
count how many flowers of one color or another
Games with clothespins
The following manual also helps the child learn to control his fingers - clothespins. Yes, yes, the most ordinary clothespins. One piece of advice - choose plastic clothespins that are not too tight so that the baby can use them comfortably. Clothespins that are too tight can discourage you from playing with them. To make playing with them more fun, I suggest you make simple colored templates from cardboard. For such blanks, clothespins can be selected according to color, and a fairy tale can be played out of ready-made figures.
Game "Who eats what"
The main goal of all games with clothespins is to develop fine motor skills, but this game has another goal - to introduce the baby to some animals and their basic diet.
Animal figures made of cardboard
Cut out animal figures from cardboard. In the planned places we cut circles to the size of the child’s fingers. We invite the child to insert his fingers into the animal figurine. With such toys you can play out fairy tales and develop your fingers.
Finger Theater "Varezhka"
Tactile covers
They are very easy to make. You will need empty baby food lids and different textured pieces of fabric. Cut out two identical circles of fabric and glue them to the lids. The more covers and pieces of fabric, the more interesting it will be to play. There can be many game options. The easiest way is to just touch the lids with your fingers. Next, you can put some of the lids in a special bag. We give one to the child to touch and ask him to find the same one in the bag by touch.

Didactic game "Pick up a petal"
Author: Irina Vladimirovna Korelova, teacher-psychologist, MBOU Secondary School No. 7 Branch of Preschool Educational Institution No. 5 “Firefly” in the city of Nyandoma, Arkhangelsk Region.Description of the article:
Dear colleagues, I bring to your attention the didactic game “Pick up a petal”. The material will be useful to teachers, parents, and specialists working with preschool children. The game can be offered to children during individual work.
In their work with children, teachers often encounter problems such as insufficiently developed memory, attention, thinking, and speech. Didactic games are specifically designed to unobtrusively solve emerging difficulties in a child’s development.
Game "Pick up a petal"
Target:
Enriching a child's vocabulary.
Tasks:
1. Learn to correctly name the image in the picture,
2. Learn to work with symbols, use verbs correctly in speech,
3.Develop memory, attention, thinking,
4. Expand your horizons,
5. Foster love and respect for the environment.
Materials for making the game:
1. Cardboard for the base,
2.Self-adhesive or colored cardboard,
3.Clipped pictures from magazines,
4.Pencil, glue, scissors.
In order to make this game you will need thick cardboard for the base. I use cardboard from packets of cereals, it’s convenient and always available. I cut out rectangles of the desired size.
Of course, you can just use colored cardboard, but it is thin and not always bright, so I cover the base with self-adhesive (the colored side of the cardboard remains without self-adhesive; if desired, it can be covered with white paper).
Next we make the petals.
We also cover them with self-adhesive tape.
Next we glue the pictures cut out from magazines onto the petals. The more pictures, the better. Pictures should be clear, bright, and understandable.
Next we work with the base, to which we will later place the petals. In the center of the rectangle we glue a picture with a symbol meaning some action: “flies”, “walks”, “swims”, “crawls”, “squeaks”, “dives”, “jumps”, etc. You can come up with a symbol yourself, but in such a way that the child can immediately “grab” it.
And then you can start the game.
1. The teacher explains to the child what the symbols on the rectangles mean, the child repeats independently.
2. The child recognizes the symbol in the rectangle.
3. Selects those petals whose images can perform a given action.
Based on the game with verbs, you can make a game with adjectives.
Dear colleagues, I hope that the presented game will be useful to you in your work.
