For the correct and all-round development of the child, the development of logical thinking is simply necessary. In the future, it will help the baby to analyze any situation and choose the best way to solve a problem or problem, based on the conditions existing at that time.

It is advisable to start playing with children who are already 5-6 years old. A child of this age can independently draw logical conclusions, can understand which object is superfluous from those provided to him, can find common things in objects and form them into groups according to this feature, can also tell a short story from pictures and understand how to apply theory in practice.

Pictures with children's exercises allow you to develop logic in the form of a game. These games are very simple, but they will be interesting for both the kid and the adult playing with him.

There are simpler picture games to develop thinking, such as:

But there are also more complex games for children 5-6, which are allowed in the development of logic to develop the ability to analyze.

For example, an adult should draw several shapes on a piece of paper: a circle, a triangle, a square, a circle, a triangle, a square, a circle, a triangle. The kid will have to look at the drawn figures and draw the figure that will follow the triangle.

A good game for the development of analysis in children of five years old will be a game when the kid will have to arrange cubes by size in descending order and then ascending.

A game called "Friends" has proven itself well. She perfectly develops attentiveness and intelligence, the child acquires the ability to analyze what is happening, and also applies the mathematical skills he has and develops them.

The essence of the game is that the child must draw his best friends himself, but at the same time he must accurately depict their growth. For example, Petya is taller than Masha, and Masha is taller than Katya, and Marina is the shortest girl. Each friend you draw will need to write his name.

Now the child will have to name which of his friends is the tallest and who is the shortest. You can also ask the child to say how much he drew the guys in total, ask him who is shown first in the drawing, who is second there, and who is fifth, who is drawn to the left of Katya, and who is to the right of Masha. You can ask the child to count how many children there will be in the picture if two leave, as well as how many children there will be if another girl joins the game.

Another interesting game for children 5-6 years old will be a game called "Absent-minded artist". During the game, the child will develop memory and intelligence, the child will try to organize his work himself, and also, if two or more children play, they will also be able to develop their competitive abilities.

An adult will have to draw a telephone disk and place the numbers on it, but not in order, but in inconsistency. The child will have to look at the drawing and correct visible mistakes.

If there are several children, prepare more drawings and ask the children to correct the mistakes. You can give a small prize to the one who is the first to complete the task.

Games for preschoolers

It is very easy for preschool children to be interested and drawn into the game, where the development of logic takes place with the help of questions.

But only now the little ones will answer the questions, and the adults will ask. This game is suitable for children of five and six years old, it should take place in a calm, friendly and fun atmosphere. Be sure to praise your child for their efforts and correct answers.

To warm up a couple of interesting tasks, you need to complete the logical missing elements:

The game "Believe, I do not believe" is that the child will have to learn to think independently and will not rush to accept as an axiom any information that comes from adults. This is a hugely needed skill for a six-year-old.

So, the adult pronounces the phrase, and the child listens and concludes whether this statement is correct or false. Examples of phrases can be very different:

  • All apples are green.
  • Dinosaurs live in the forest.
  • Raspberries grow on a tree.
  • It rains in summer.
  • Snow lies only in January.
  • All birds fly.

Ask the baby not only unambiguous phrases, but also those that can be answered in two ways. Let the child think, substantiate his point of view, this is how curiosity develops, the desire to get to the bottom of the essence, observation develops and the baby acquires his own life experience.

Another interesting game for preschoolers six years old will be the game "We call it in one word."

The child will learn to think abstractly and will be able to develop the ability to generalize. An adult will have to name a group of words that have one common feature, and a child of five or six years old should say how these words can be called entirely:

  1. "Bedside table, shelf, table, armchair" - the general name "furniture"
  2. "Eraser, sharpener, felt-tip pen, marker" - "stationery"
  3. "Cucumber, tomato, onion, cabbage -" vegetables "
  4. "Cat, dog, cow, crocodile" - "animals"
  5. "Chicken, parrot, pigeon, seagull" - "birds"

Math riddles

At the age of five, a child should already be able to count to at least ten, as well as perform simple mathematical actions. You can teach a child to perform simple mathematical actions in everyday situations, for this it is absolutely not necessary to allocate any special time.

An example of such a game can be the counting of objects that surround us in life every day. You can ask your child to calculate how many chairs are in the room. Ask your child if there are enough chairs if you need to seat six guests. If not enough, ask how many chairs will need to be brought into the room to accommodate everyone. The purpose of this game will be the development of such mathematical actions as addition and subtraction, but at the same time their development will take place in the form of an easy and unobtrusive game and the child will learn the material better.

Use bricks or other toys to help the child understand how 2 and 2 can be added to make 4; ask the child to count how many cubes will remain if he gives two of the five cubes to his friend. Such mathematical riddles, supported by actions and visual images, will be remembered by a child much better than working with the same actions on paper.

(5-7 years) - this is the period of the formation of the child's knowledge and skills that he will need in the future at school and in life. At this time, the children go through a period of "why", and the children begin to be interested in more global issues. A preschooler should already be able to read, count to 10, know the names of the main geometric shapes on a plane and in volume. The formation of the concepts "good and bad" is very important during this period. At the age of 5, the child can already concentrate well on a specific task and complete it without distraction. That is why at this age it is necessary to develop the child in all directions. Assignments for a 5-year-old child will help him prepare for school as much as possible.

The development of speech in a preschooler

As a rule, at this age children already speak well. They know a lot of words, are able to build complex sentences, and also describe events and objects using synonyms and antonyms. Children aged 4-5 listen very carefully to what adults say and copy their communication style. It is very important that your five-year-old learns to pronounce every sound and word correctly. In order for the child's speech to be clear and sonorous, it is necessary to perform exercises with him for the development of speech.

Speech therapy classes

Speech therapy tasks for children 5 years old are divided into several categories: finger gymnastics and tongue twisters. Tasks with the use of fingers are very conducive to the development of speech, articulatory gymnastics allows you to open your mouth correctly and put your tongue while pronouncing sounds, tongue twisters, in turn, consolidate the knowledge gained. Let's consider each of the categories separately.

Finger gymnastics

An example of a task for a 5-year-old child on the development of fine motor skills: "Flower"

Fold the hands so that they form a flower bud. Reading the rhyme, in words it “blooms” to open the flower, and in the word “lays down” to close it.

Articulation gymnastics

Articulation (mimic) gymnastics is exercises for the development of the muscles of the tongue and lips. If these parts of the child's body are not sufficiently developed, then he will not be able to pronounce sounds correctly and clearly. It is recommended to complete tasks for a 5-year-old child to develop articulation near the mirror.

  1. Ask the baby Let him pretend that the tongue is a swing, and shake it one count to the upper teeth, two to the bottom.
  2. Exercises with lips: on the count of one - to pull the lips into a tube, on the count of two - to smile broadly. You can also try rubbing your upper and lower lip with your teeth.

Tongue Twisters

There are a huge number of tongue twisters for each sound. All of them help to develop the child's speech: to make it clearer and more expressive.

Educational tasks for children 5 years old in the form of tongue twisters:

Such tongue twisters teach you to pronounce the sounds [t] [d] [h]. Children love to read and learn such funny rhymes.

Develop memory

The memory of the child must begin to develop even in preschool age. At the age of 5, children perceive and remember new information very well, and in order for such results to be preserved in the future, some effort is needed. So what educational tasks for children 5 years old help to train memory?

  1. Memorization of objects. Place 4 different objects in front of the baby (for example: a typewriter, a pen, a telephone and keys). Ask your child to take a good look at them and turn away. Move objects out of sight. Now, when the child turns around, ask him to name what he saw before. If this is not difficult for him, complicate the exercise - ask the color of objects, shape, purpose.
  2. Memorization of words (objects and actions). Say 4 different words in a row (objects - table, cup, house, flower, or 4 different actions - sit, read, play, laugh) ask the child to repeat them. If such tasks for a 5-year-old child turn out to be easy, feel free to use 5-7 words.
  3. Find the difference pictures and reading and analyzing books help train memory. For example, start reading a long story to your child. Read half of it and leave the rest for the next day. Before reading the next part, ask the kid what he remembered from the previous one, analyze together the characters and events of this story.

Developing tasks for logic

Logic is a very important ability that needs to be developed. The thinking of a child at the age of 5 is very peculiar. Surely many mothers noticed that at this age children are sometimes smarter than adults. It is very important not to miss this period and help the child to develop.

Before studying for children 5 years old, it is necessary to determine what types of thinking the child is already operating at this age. As a rule, at the age of 5, children are able to compare, analyze, classify and synthesize objects and actions.

Exercise "Dorisuy"

The bottom line is that the child needs to finish painting part of the subject.

Children's puzzles help to develop logic. Collecting jigsaw puzzles with the whole family is a very fun and rewarding activity. In addition, mathematics assignments for children 5 years old help develop thinking. For example, place 8 coins on the table and give the child matches. Ask him to put as many matches as there are coins on the table.

Spend at least 30 minutes each day. However, you should not overwork and force the baby, be sure to take breaks for gymnastics. The process of studying with a child should look like an exciting game for him, and then he will learn and remember everything well.

If your child is already 5 or 6 years old, then it's time to think about how to effectively prepare him for school. The development of a child's thinking takes place in several stages.

1) Formation of visual-active thinking: when all the child's thought processes go through action.

2) Formation of visual-figurative thinking: when the child begins to think with the help of images.

3) Formation of verbal-logical thinking: when a child can express his thoughts in words, he begins to independently reason, compare, and find simple patterns.

It should be noted that the mental development of a child consists not only in obtaining certain knowledge, but also in the development of perception, memory, thinking, imagination.

For preschool children, the main activity is play. This means that learning new things should be conducted using game methods of training.

At preschool age, children actively form and develop speech, replenish their vocabulary, and train their memory. It is very important that the child, when completing the assignment, tried to reason on his own in order to find the correct answer.

This article will offer basic logic exercises to help you learn:

  • classify items;
  • compare items;
  • establish the sequence of events;
  • train memory;
  • draw conclusions.

The duration of the lessons is 15-20 minutes. Do not overwork the child so as not to cause a negative reaction from the class! On the contrary, try to turn your activities into a game!
