How to play with children of different ages. How to captivate children of different ages

It is very easy to deal with one child - sit down opposite or side by side and go ahead! On the one hand, it is very convenient, quiet, measured. On the other hand ... there is no chance to run a race, compete. Or just solve tasks together.

And if the children are of the same age, or even twins, then this, of course, is already a mini-class. It is convenient to deal with them. You can come up with the same tasks.

And if the children are very different? 2-3-4 years apart or even more? Here many mothers have a stupor - work out with one, then with the other separately, then with the third…. Not enough time and energy!

But it is not always the case! It turns out that you can arrange very interesting activities for three different children!

Here is the lesson of mother of many children Nadia Zdobnovaya at the "School of Reading".
Semyon "came" to study at the school. At that time he was about five years old. Vanka was about 2.8.
All the games Nadia comes up with on the basis of exercises and recommendations laid out by me at the reading school.

Kai and Gerda! The roles were assigned by Semyon. At first there was a game plot: a shard, a slide, the Snow Queen, a sleigh ...
And so Gerda (Vanechka) went to look for her brother and ended up in a wonderful garden. The sorceress instructs to look after the garden, take care of flowers

Putting together words from a bunch of letters. Hard! SNOW, WATER did not collect it myself, only after the word prompts

…

On the reverse side of the pictures there are inscriptions. If you read it, take the card for yourself, if you didn’t read it, it remains for the Queen.

Children loved the game! For Sema, it was a brainstorming session - he had a chance to read about 70 words in an hour of playing! But it was fun and exciting.

Of course, the game is a little confusing (plot) and not quite a fairy tale. But it is not important! It is important that the youngest was in charge and the elder helped. And the main student got a benefit.

In a general lesson, each of the children of different ages solves his own personal problem, even if it looks like they are doing the same thing.

Of course, it's not easy to just go and learn how to come up with such interesting fairy tale games. And it's not easy at all to organize yourself for classes when there are several children in the house.

If you have two or more children of different ages, and you are wondering how else you can organize classes, take a look at the webinar.

At the webinar, you will learn:

  • how to organize classes;
  • how to plan class topics;
  • how to conduct classes;
  • how to captivate children of different ages;
  • how not to be torn between children.

Experience shows that it is possible to conduct general classes for children of different ages and little by little, little by little to give each of them their own.

After the appearance of the second or third baby in the family, the mother's time for individual lessons with each child becomes dramatically less - babies require a lot of attention and energy, and it’s not for me to tell you about it.

And if at first, while the baby sleeps a lot and often, you can somehow manage to find time for quiet activities with the older child, and then find individual time for the baby himself, then as the baby grows up and becomes more active - time and opportunities will become less and less. So, sooner or later, the question of how to combine their activities will surely arise. Let's try to think about what can be done in this direction and a little systematize the experience in this matter.

It seems to me that the key questions should be:

  1. When to study?
  2. What to do?
  3. Where to study?

When?

The first question to consider when is "when to practice?" First of all, when you are in no hurry. And they are free in their activities. When you are completely relaxed and happy with life, even if something does not go as planned, it will not unsettle you, but, on the contrary, will charge you with new experience and new knowledge.

Secondly, when both kids are friendly and do not try to pull the "blanket" over themselves. When they are both full, no one is capricious, no one wants to sleep yet.

Why is it so important? Because, in all honesty, a mother conducting classes with 2 young children of different ages at this moment resembles a circus acrobat trying to hold many plates on several fingers. And, as if the acrobat began to train the tiger at the same time, then his plates would begin to fall, so if something else interferes with your activity and this something comes from the mood, it will not work.

This is a simple rule, which in fact can become either a serious obstacle or, with good planning and careful approach, will help to conduct successful classes.

How old is the youngest child? Perhaps this largely depends on the nature of the children - both the older and the younger. And if you can somehow agree with the elder that the baby will just look and do something of his own, then with the younger such an agreement is not possible right away. Therefore, the spread in age can be very, very large - for someone, the newborn immediately takes part in the classes of the mother and the elder, and for someone, even at 2 years old.

Therefore, the question of when to start should be resolved completely individually:

  • when the kids are ready(we can understand this from observation and analysis);
  • when there is no jealousy between them(depends on how we build relationships between children in families and how fair they are);
  • no attempts to grab mom's attention entirely and completely;
  • the younger child has overcome the limitation of visual thinking and may already miss what the older one does in the first minute.

If they can already divide mom relatively calmly, they can wait a little until mom finishes with her brother or sister and at the same time does not completely lose attention and interest in the topic, if they can see that what they have in their hands is not at all less interesting than that of a brother (sister) - it means that the time has come and you can safely start joint or parallel classes.

Children of different ages will be doing the same thing for different lengths of time - it is clear that the elder is likely to be more assiduous, and for him the lesson will be longer than for the baby. This means that when planning such a lesson where there will be 2 or even 3 children, you need to take this moment into account - what will happen when the baby gets tired and starts to demandattention to your person? How can we distract him or what can we offer him? Will he be able to step aside for a minute and play something else? Or will he only demand attention to himself? It is advisable to know the answers to these questions before you are together on the rug or at the table, practicing.

As we said, the thinking of young children is visual. The smaller the child, the more difficult it is for him to resist the temptation to grab, take away, pick up the object that the older child is holding in his hands. Even if he has the same thing in his hands. But the cognitive need of children is such that they want to learn and get everything. And in the hands of another, the same object looks like a different object. The smaller the younger child, the more important it is to have in reserve as the required number of identical objects (each has a brush and his own palette for drawing with paints, identical cubes or pom-poms, etc.), and if this is not possible, it is advisable to keep a box with "treasures" ". It is, of course, extremely important that these treasures are objects that are truly interesting for the child.

How?

What can children of different ages do together? Play, of course. In role-playing games, in table games (such as loto or dominoes). In this case, the mother plays with the baby and helps him, and the elder plays for himself. Only the essential point - the elder must understand that this game is not a competition"Who is smarter", but just a fun pastime. And perhaps for such a game you will have to simplify the rules so that the elder does not try to engage in shenanigans.

Children who are engaged at the same time can engage in either some kind of parallel activity, or joint. Parallel: children are in one place, mom is nearby, but everyone has their own occupation, and they do not overlap in essence and content. Joint: children are working together on a task. It is clear that the greater the difference in age, the more parallel activities will be, the closer the children are to each other and the older they are (the younger is at least 1.5-3 years old), the more joint activities will be.

Children can simultaneously study in notebooks or some quiet activities. The elder can teach lessons, and the younger, sitting next to him, draw. And mom is in the middle between them. Foreign language classes mom: gives the elder tasks for writing or reading, and with the baby she is engaged in oral speech or coloring pictures on the topic. The main thing is that the baby does not interfere with the older child. And the elder did not bully or tease the kid.

Together, children can engage in active physical play. For example, jumping and somersaults, together to go through the obstacle course (it is especially good in such games to stimulate the help and care of the older child to the baby). For joint activities, book games or theme days are great.

Only the mother in this case needs to think over the role for each of the children well. And in advance, come up with at least a few blanks with ideas of what to do if something does not go as planned. In addition, book classes or thematic days are great for creating situations of mutual help for children, for their cooperation on a common solution to a problem.

Who should be guided in such an occupation in the first place? Traditionally, mothers are guided by the older child. And not because classes with him are more important. Rather, if the older child is offered to orientate himself towards the baby, he will do everything very quickly and will run away just as quickly.


And a joint activity like this will not work, and there will be little benefit for the older child. In addition, as we remember, each child develops in his own ZPD (zone of proximal development). This means that real development requires tasks that will be on the verge of independent performance for the child. Hence, you need to focus on the one whose task should be more difficult... And you can always help the kid well, or simplify his task (and this is always easier than complicating it), or give something of your own. However, in some
In some cases, it may be wise to include an older child in your activities with your toddler. Firstly, the elder can set an example for the child, and this is very useful - children learn from other children much faster than from adults. Secondly, it can be useful for a senior to feel that he is knowledgeable and able, and at the same time to remember that he, too, once did not know how to do something.

Where?

This is a very peculiar question that rarely comes up in private lessons. In individual lessons, we can practice in any conditions - even on the rug, even at the table, even in the kitchen, standing side by side and preparing food.

But when there are more than one children, numerous questions immediately arise:

  • How do you ensure that they are not distracted - together or in turn?
  • What will one of the children do and where will they go when they are tired or finished so as not to interfere with the other?
  • How to act and separate the children if one of the children starts to play around and grimace, and the other will be distracted because of him? Children who are bored and not interested in playing and grimacing and want to entertain themselves.
  • How to put the younger next to the older, so that he does not interfere and he does not catch the eye of what the elder is doing? Maybe turn his chair back to the elder?

The solutions to these questions are purely individual and depend on the capabilities of your home environment. But even before starting a joint session, you must know exactly the answers to these questions so that in the event that a problem occurs, you are ready for it.

An experience

Experience is your most important guide to combining classes. And if there are areas where you can easily and pleasantly use someone else’s experience and someone else’s best practices, then the topic of joint studies should be entirely based on your own experience.

Don't be afraid to try, experiment, make mistakes. This is how experience is born - from observing children, their capabilities, how they adapt to each other and how they work in pairs. And from the analysis that it is advisable to do after each lesson - what worked, what did not, why did it turn out the way it should be done next time? This analysis is the key to the future fruitful work of both children.

What are the benefits of joint activities? Such activities, in addition to saving time for the mother, have a number of other advantages. The fact that children learn to interact not only in purely play situations, but also in a situation of educational interaction with an adult. They learn to wait a little for their turn, learn to work independently, without the constant support of an adult. Toddlers learn from their elders new techniques of work (for example, with plasticine), the elders, seeing the capabilities of the baby, learn to better understand their younger brothers or sisters. But the main thing is that joint activities give children the opportunity to be friends and find not only points of rivalry, but also points of contact, which is very important in the life of the family in general and the life of brothers and sisters in particular.

Individual sessions. While group lessons can be very effective, we should not stop taking individual lessons with each child. The less attention the child receives during the general activity, the more important it is for him to get his own time. And not only because in the general lesson for children of different ages it is difficult to simultaneously focus on the ZPD (zone of proximal development) of each child, which means that one of the children will end up either in the zones of things that are already familiar to them, or in zones of affairs that are still far from their reality. The point is that individual communication with an adult is extremely important for a child. It is in communication with an adult (and not with another child, especially a younger one) that the child receives behavioral patterns, cultural patterns and the individual support and attention he needs so much.

  1. Even if you have only 1 child so far, think over your route, the sequence of actions, what and how you need to take with you, if you and the baby take the elder to training, to classes, etc. Pay attention to where the child "hangs" most of all, what time is needed, what moments need to be prepared in advance.
  2. Consider if your daily routine is comfortable. Would you like to change something in it? Is physical activity enough for children? Is sleep enough? What problems do you see, and most importantly, do you know how to overcome them.

Probably many mothers with two babies of different ages faced the problem of how to organize their joint game so that everyone would be interested. In fact, there are many games and activities that are suitable for both very young and older children.

Joint play of children of different ages is useful for both young and old. Older children know a lot of games, set a general line of behavior, distribute roles, and kids follow them with pleasure, while gaining a play experience. If the little one does not succeed, the elder will help, calm him down. The kid sees what he will become in a year or two, he has an example to follow. For an older child, playing with a toddler is a lesson in responsibility, the first serious matter that he leads. Mom can only offer directions for game activities and unobtrusively manage the process.

Role-playing games

Role-playing games are one of the most favorite among children of all ages. They are great for both two-three-year-old toddlers and older preschoolers, creating conditions for joint activities. In role-playing games, the child tries to express himself as brightly as possible, to apply all the accumulated experience, all his knowledge and skills.

"Family" is perhaps one of the most popular role-playing games. It is easy to guess that the role of adult family members (dad, mom) goes to the older child, and the role of the child to the younger participant in the game. The older child is more often involved in the distribution of roles and the "development of the script" (possibly in collaboration with the mother), while the little ones gladly accept the conditions, while gaining a play experience. "Family" goes to work and kindergarten, gets sick, goes to rest, quarrels and makes peace. By creating their own toy family, children create their own family behavior model based on the behavior and habits of their real family members. Watching her offspring playing, a mother can get a lot of interesting and useful information for herself about what worries the little ones, how they really see their family, what they are afraid of, and what they would like to change in relations with their parents and brother (sister).

If mom is interested to know how the children behave when she is not around, you can invite them to play "Kindergarten". Mom will hear the intonations of the strict teacher, and the story about the bully Vovka, who offends the baby, and your child is afraid to tell adults about it. In the game, all the subtleties of relations in the children's team "emerge" and it will be useful for parents to learn about them.

Hospital is a great game to practice social skills and broaden your horizons. The older child "heals" the baby, helping him remember the names of different parts of the body, the procedures performed by the doctor. If your child has a fear of doctors, play can help him cope. Mom can help build a white coat from an old sheet or dad's shirt, tell what doctors are, what diseases they treat, and at the same time hold an informative conversation about a healthy lifestyle, tempering and prevention. There are ready-made sets for playing doctor, which are sold in stores, but it is better to use substitute items. (For example, a wooden stick can serve as a thermometer, and a rod from a pen can serve as a glass tube for drawing blood.) This helps the development of imagination and imagination.

In general, the scenario of the game can be absolutely any, the main thing is that the circumstances proposed in the game are familiar to both senior and junior participants. By playing together, children begin to take into account the wishes and actions of another child, defend their point of view, build and implement joint plans. All role-playing games of children (with very few exceptions) are filled with social content and serve as a means of getting used to the fullness of human relationships, therefore they are interesting and useful for all ages.

In addition to traditional scenarios (family, shop, hospital), other scenarios can also be used in role-playing games. For example, many children travel with their parents from a very young age. So why not build a "Train" for the eldest child and take passengers on it to the sea - the little brother, mother and all the stuffed animals? Or play the airport game where you can build planes from sofa cushions? In this game, the little one will play the role of a passenger on an airplane, and an older child will play the role of a pilot, dispatcher or flight attendant. Mom can act as the Head of the Airport and tell the children about the work of the various services of this place. The game will help children learn the rules of behavior in public places, learn more about different professions.

If all the old scenarios are bored and the kids want something unusual, their mother can offer to play in the "Ministry of Emergencies". The main goal of this game is not only to acquaint children with the difficult and honorable profession of a rescuer, but also to teach them, if necessary, to act clearly and harmoniously. To do this, you do not need to set fire to the apartment or flood the neighbors with water. It is enough to play out problem situations and develop an algorithm for the behavior of people in them. The older child is a brave rescuer who can be a doctor, mountain climber, firefighter or driver! The kid may well be injured, and the mother - a TV journalist and operator covering the emergency. A creatively thinking child will find meaning and idea in the most mundane and banal, from the point of view of an adult, things, so do not limit the imagination of your children, let any unexpected turn of the scenario be realized in the game.

Fairy tale games

Fairy tale games are also interesting for children of all ages. A two-year-old toddler, who does not yet really understand the meaning of what is happening, but really wants to participate in the fun, will portray a turnip with pleasure; plush Mickey Mouse - a mouse, grandmother's lapdog - a bug. An older child can become a director of a "mini-performance", play the role of a "grandfather" or "a woman", control toys-characters, and a mother can read a fairy tale aloud so that all participants do not forget their roles. So, the "turnip" is holding on to the chair with all its might, and each new character tries to "pull it out". But this will only work when soft toys, older brother and mom and dad get together. A cheerful heap is small, when the turnip is finally torn from the chair - a worthy end to the game, you just need to observe safety precautions.

"Kolobok" is another interesting fairy tale-game that allows the smallest participant to be in the role of the most agile and cunning. So what if they ate the kolobok, he still left all the other heroes! Compared to an older brother or sister, the baby feels some inferiority, and this game will raise the baby's self-esteem and help him to open up in a new role for himself. The elder can be a storyteller, or a cunning fox. The mother will need a preliminary private conversation with the older child: “You and I will come up with a game for the brother (sister), so that he (a) feels (a) big, strong and dexterous, like you! Help your little brother, if necessary, but let him feel himself in charge himself, this is a fairy tale about him! "

You can also use other fairy tales in which there are various characters, large and small animals. ("Teremok", "The Bremen Town Musicians"). The missing "actors" can be toys, friends, or mom and dad.

Let's run, jump

All children love outdoor games, regardless of age. They are important both for the development of motor activity and for the formation of social behavior. In such games, the elder learns to be not only dexterous and quick, but also patient and generous towards the baby. Ordinary catch-ups are not suitable for children of different ages, the eldest is obviously faster, and 5-6-year-olds are not yet able to run "half-heartedly". But children will be able to play hide-and-seek and hide-and-seek. You can also invite the older child to come up with a dance to the cheerful favorite music and try to teach the baby. Only it is imperative to warn the "dance teacher" that the student is just beginning to learn, and not all movements are as good for him as for the older one. Let him come up with simple combinations. And the whole family will gather for the performance in the evening!

Developing attention

If you are tired of running and jumping, you can keep the children busy with games to develop attention.

Confusion

One of the children is the presenter. He says out loud "Ear!" and must at the same time grasp the ear. Saying "nose!" - by the nose. The second child repeats his actions. After a while, the presenter begins to confuse the second player, “make mistakes”: for example, he says “nose!”, But grabs the ear. The task of the second player is not to go astray. A kid of any age can cope with the presenter's function.

What changed?

One of the kids puts several toys on the table, the second carefully examines and remembers them. Now the second player must turn away or close his eyes with his palm. The first player removes one of the toys. When the second child turns around, he must determine which toy is missing. The younger the child, the fewer items are used in the game. Gradually, depending on the success and age of the children, the game can be made more difficult. For example, increase the number of objects, put similar toys (cubes of different colors, etc.). Or not to remove items, but simply swap them. When the player turns around, you need to ask: "What has changed?" The game develops visual memory and attention.

Musical painting

This game requires 2 sheets of paper, pencils or paints, and musical accompaniment. Children sit alone, each with their own sheet of paper and paints, and listen to the music, and then choose the appropriate colors, images and shapes to express the character of the music. Everyone draws on their own sheet. For kids, you can pre-apply contours on paper that they will paint. Children can draw together on a large sheet of paper, only they do not need to talk. Often in this game, the drawings of the smallest ones turn out to be the most interesting and unexpected, apparently, kids feel music differently than older kids.

Build without looking

You will need a set of dice for this game. One child sits on his knees near a box of cubes and is blindfolded. He begins to build the tower as high as possible. The second child counts out loudly how many blocks were used before the tower collapses. Now it's the next kid's turn to build the tower.

Tightrope walker

You will need a thick rope for this game. It is laid out on a floor with many intersections, loops and bends. The player walks along the rope barefoot, carefully, trying not to step on it. For older participants, the challenge can be made more difficult by suggesting jumping over the rope on one leg, walking with your eyes closed, or running as soon as possible.

Gesture games

Sign games will also be interesting for children. In these games, the older child can be the leader, that is, show movements and read a poem aloud, while the baby repeats with pleasure.
In such a game, for every child there is something attractive: for the kid - a variety of movements, for the older one, the rhythm, content, and the opportunity to teach the little one something new. For these games, it is better to choose verses that are small in volume, but very bright, figurative - for example, "Rain" by Samuil Marshak:

Across the blue sky
Rumbled thunder, (clap our hands above our head)
And again everything is silent. (finger to lips)
And a moment later we hear (palm to ear, listen)
How fun and fast
All the green leaves (joining palms, rustling)
All over the iron roofs (we stamp our feet)
On flower beds, benches, (knocking our fingers on chairs)
On buckets and watering cans (knocking fingers on the floor)
The passing rain is knocking.

You can use small funny poems:

Sleeps (handles under the cheek) on an ice floe (a small semicircle with hands)
All day long (big circle with hands)
Thick (puff out the cheeks)
Small (depict with two fingers)
Seal. (hands along the body, fingers in different directions, swinging)
The lazy bungler (a pen under the cheeks)
Paws turned into flippers (arms extended forward, palms alternately up and down).

Make up, make up, make up ...

Separately, I would like to say about the conflicts that may arise during the game. Their appearance is inevitable, since children at both 3 and 6 years old already have their own opinion, but due to their age they still cannot put themselves in the place of another and look at the situation from the outside. Selfishness in babies is a natural thing, there is no need to shame for it, but it is worth helping to sort out the conflict. It is not entirely correct for the children to figure it out on their own, it is better for the mother to intervene before it comes to a fight, otherwise the joint game will end in tears and resentments. In no case should a mother say to an older child: "Give in to your brother, because he is small, and you are so big!" The older baby may not show his jealousy in any way, but in his soul he always has a fear that with the appearance of the younger one they began to love him less. And he sincerely does not understand what is the connection between the age of the brother, and playing together, and why, in fact, he should give in. But if mom says so, then little is better and love them more. At the same time, the younger should not be allowed to “take advantage of the age advantage”. Therefore, when analyzing a conflict, age should not appear at all. Mom should not forget that in a difficult situation, both are often to blame. It is best to take turns listening to each child without interrupting or allowing the other to interrupt. Then, in the presence of the other, explain to everyone exactly what he was wrong about and how he could do it to solve the problem. And then try to organize a constructive dialogue between the children, in the process of which all together find a compromise solution. Encourage your children to play together, even if the little ones already have different interests, preferences and wishes. Come up with fun with them, because a brother or sister will remain the closest, dearest and beloved people in many years, so let them have bright memories of the joyful childhood they spent together.

Hello dear readers of my blog!
Today, I want to continue to share with you manuals and games for children of different ages. As you know, the age of my daughters is from 2 to 7 years old, so I have to come up with games-activities that will be interesting for both the youngest and the oldest at the same time. Today I continue my math studies.


First game: FEEDING THE RABBITS

We need:
-stapler
- A4 sheets with images of a rabbit / hare from 1 to 20 pieces
- Masking tape
-Duct tape
-Cut out images of carrots.

How we play:
On the sheet with the rabbit below, glue the Velcro (one part) with a stapler. The second part will be glued to the carrot images. To save money, measure how many carrots will fit on a piece of tape and attach that exact length of tape.

On the wall, using masking tape, glue 10 (20) A4 sheets with images of rabbits (and Velcro). We offer the children to feed the rabbits, glue the carrots in accordance with the numbers on the rabbit.
I made 20 bunnies, the first 10 for the youngest and the rest for the older ones. While the elders feed the hares themselves, I help the younger one to cope with the task. Then we check the number of carrots all together.
When printing the required number of carrots, select the "wallet" mode.

Second game: GAME ATTENTION

We need:
- A4 sheets with a table in which images of animals, numbers and letters are arranged in a certain order
-Cut-out images of the same animals in an enlarged size.

How we play:
We put a sheet with a table in front of the children. Along the edges of the table there are numbers on top, letters on the side. On one sheet, all images are of the same color, except for six. For example, all images are yellow and six are red.
Our options: 4 sheets with images (yellow and 6 red, red and 6 yellow, blue and 6 green, green and 6 blue).
Tasks for children (all children perform tasks in turn): the youngest needs to find six pictures of a different color, the older ones show the pictures given in a certain sequence. For example: show the picture that is in square 5B, in which square is the blue picture.
If the sheets are laminated or pasted over with tape, you can circle the desired images with a felt-tip pen.
For the younger one, you can supplement the game: when the child takes turns finding images of the same color, next to the table put enlarged pictures of animals in turn, and then count them and circle them with a felt-tip pen in the table.

40 SIMPLE GAMES WITH CHILDREN.
