"Gender Education Games»
At preschool age, in a role-playing game, children symbolically reproduce the relationships between adults. Playing a role, the child performs a certain social function, differentiated by sex. At the same time, in the practice of preschool institutions, the content of play activity is not sufficiently differentiated, taking into account the psychophysiological characteristics of the development of girls and boys.
Gender education suggests that the basis for a differentiated approach, as a rule, is the level of development of children, cognitive interests, abilities, and characteristics of the nervous system.
One of the components of heterosexual education in an educational organization and an individually differentiated approach is the creation of conditions for the child to master the position of the subject of play activity: designing the content of play activity, creating a step-by-step pedagogical technology for developing the child’s independence and creativity, designing a subject-play environment. However, the content of work with preschoolers by gender is not developed enough, which, according to researchers, leads to the absence of specific gender-specific features in children: boys are sometimes deprived of emotional stability, endurance, determination, girls - tenderness, modesty, tolerance, striving for peace. conflict resolution - this is the relevance of gender education.
At preschool age, the game is the main activity, but not because the child spends most of his time in games - the game causes qualitative changes in the child's psyche. In the role-playing game, children in a symbolic form reproduce the relationships of adults. Playing a role, the child performs a certain social function, differentiated by sex. These games are called sociosexual, although there is very little actually sexual in them. During the game, the child refines the structure of his body and compares himself with other children, begins to master the sex role. The play period in the child's psychosexual development is characterized by initiative, the assimilation of sex-role behavior, sexual games, attachment to each other, first love, and playing the roles of parents.
Girls actively play with dolls, daughters-mothers, boys develop and consolidate interest in weapons and cars. When children were given the opportunity to play in the shop in an experimental setting, they turned into “sellers” and offered the boys to buy cars and weapons, and the girls to buy dolls and crockery. Such behavior proves that the association of objects and properties with one or another gender, inherent in any culture, depends not only on learning through observation or memorization of certain associations such as “dolls for girls, cars for boys”. Children began to put some properties in a causal connection with the male sex, and others in the same connection with the female.
Boys' games are more objective, girls' games are more verbal, so they play verbal games, boys prefer to mess with the designer. Children's play reflects the traditional view of the role of men and women in society. Girls daily take care of the house, take care of children, get married. Boys fight in the war, drive tractors, build bridges and do carpentry. The game also lays the foundations of morality: generosity, reliability, respect for girls (women) - for boys and kindness, patience, loyalty, respect for boys (men) - for girls.
Role playing is the best way to overcome negative role stereotypes.
For example, the game "Doctor and Patient" is ideal for this purpose. Children are free to change roles. This game inspires boys to take care of someone and girls to play male roles. More often, the role orientations of girls are shifted towards the opposite sex somewhat more than that of boys. It has been noticed that children whose behavior strictly corresponds to all the requirements for their gender often have lower intelligence and less creative abilities.
On the contrary, children who are freer from rigid sexual typification of behavior have a high intellect and are psychologically more prosperous. The educator and parents can correct certain negative qualities of children with the help of the distribution of game roles and plot changes.
In games, the desires of children are realized. Often a child in the game plays a role that is forbidden for him in life, thereby achieving compensation. The imaginary world opposes the world of reality and may be more real for the child.
In the game, he is freed from the feeling of loneliness and learns the joy of intimacy and cooperation, in the game he evaluates his capabilities, gains faith in himself, determines his position in relation to the world around him and people.
Thus, the best time to influence a child's attitude towards sex roles is before the age of 6 years. The success of a child's entry into the world of people, his sexual education largely depends on the content of education, in which the role of play can hardly be overestimated.
Boys are usually active. This is good, but sometimes it goes beyond the permissible and here specially selected games for boys.
Correcting behavior with games is much more useful and enjoyable than edification.
1. Suggest boys lie on the floor and say: "Whoever can lie down for a minute more calmly than anyone else, the toy will fly straight from the sky." And at the next game moment, promise the boys: whoever lies quieter than others now will be the leader, he will decide for himself who to throw the toy.
2. Unexpectedly lay out cards on the table that you can use to write a story. Between the cards, interrupting the meaning, lay out the ropes and candy wrappers - they will allow the child to go into free fantasies in the plot of a story that is ordinary and familiar from childhood.
3. Take a box with different toys, objects, cards. show and ask every thing - you need it, if necessary, then why. You answer - you get a thing.
4. If the child is aggressive and agitated. Take a sheet of paper and draw the face of an evil wolf, bear or porcupine. Let's ask the child to redraw the animal - to make it kind. You can use an eraser or a more saturated color.
5. Make improvised swords out of paper or newspaper and immediately offer to fight on them. The one who was able to touch, for example, the opponent's shoulder, won.
Gender education programs for preschoolers designed to influence the mental and physical development of the boy and girl. The goal is to optimize activities related to the relationship of representatives of different sexes to their social roles in society.
Gender education is the formation in children of ideas about real men and women, and this is necessary for the normal and effective socialization of the individual.
Under the influence of educators and parents, a preschooler must learn the gender role, or gender model of behavior that a person adheres to, so that he is defined as a woman or a man.
It must be remembered that after six years it is impossible to change the gender-role orientation by psychological methods. The preschool period is asexual - sex hormones do not affect the development of the child. At this age, the foundations of the moral attitudes of the future man and woman are formed.
Gender education includes:
Relations between people of different sexes - the formation of a certain model of behavior;
Norms of relations - mastering the culture in the field of gender relations;
Personal life of people in the family;
The spheres of activity of men and women - a correct understanding of the role of men and the role of women in society.
Educational tasks of sexual gender education and heterosexual education:
To nurture in preschoolers an irreversible interest and positive attitude towards their gender. To lay the foundations for awareness of one's own characteristics, and how they are perceived by others, to advise building personal behavior, taking into account the possible reactions of other people;
To cultivate in a preschooler an interest and a good attitude towards people around him;
To develop in a preschooler an idea of himself and other people as physical and social persons with their own advantages and disadvantages, typical and individual characteristics;
Develop sensitivity and empathy, the ability to feel and recognize the state and mood of people around. Behave in accordance with them, be able to manage their emotions and behavior;
To enrich knowledge about one's family, clan, family relics, traditions, to acquaint with the main functions of the family as a psychological group and social institution;
Lay the foundations for future social and gender roles, explain the features of their performance, cultivate a positive attitude towards different social gender roles, the need for their existence;
To deepen children's knowledge about the content of the concepts "boy", "girl", about the division of all people into men and women. Promote sexual and gender identification, correctly and competently respond to the manifestation of the sexual development of children of different sexes;
Speaking about the relevance of gender education, educators are encouraged to use such methods and techniques in the gender education of preschoolers as gender education games
:
Plot - role-playing game "Family"
Conversations using illustrations, fiction
Issues with ethical content
Making gifts for moms, dads, peers
Didactic games: “Who likes to do what? , “What to whom?”, “I am growing”, “What is common, how are we different?” , “I am like this because ...”, “Who to be?” , "Dress the boy, dress the girl."
Adults' mistake is that parents and educators need to learn to approach children based on the individual characteristics of the latter, and not on the basis of perceived gender differences.
Gender education. The gender of children can influence what parents and teachers expect from them, and this can lead to different attitudes towards children based on their gender. As a result, children may develop gender-differentiated skills and self-images that will then limit their abilities.
Diverse upbringing in an educational organization happens with excesses - boys and girls are often asked to line up separately; they learn songs in which the thumbs are "men" and the rest of the fingers are "ladies"; or "Little girls are made of sweets and spices and all sorts of niceties... boys are made of snails and shells and green frogs."
Even gender differences such as those just mentioned, which seem completely innocuous, should not take place in a group, as they force children to make gender distinctions about things that play a certain role, such as whether members of their gender should demonstrate superiority in what - some discipline.
Gender differences also contribute to gender segregation in relationships between children, suggesting that there is and should remain a certain barrier between boys and girls, and gender education games only contribute to this.
Parents and educators often promote gender segregation of children in schools and at home, and this leads to further segregation into categories based on gender. Conversely, teachers and parents should consciously create a gender-free environment for children that encourages cooperative play, equal treatment between boys and girls, and participation in games normally preferred by one gender (for example, girls can play soccer, and the boys - in the "classics").
The relevance of gender education is great since spatial and mathematical skills, as well as empathy are desirable for possessing qualities that are not dependent on gender, parents and educators should encourage all children to play various games and toys that contribute to the development of these skills.
It is important that parents are taught the role that gender-based expectations play in math learning. Child development books that parents read may discuss differentiated socialization and how it can limit the development of their child's unique potential.
Unfortunately, the public is often misinformed about research into gender differences by pointing out to parents that the differences between their sons and daughters are natural and to be expected.
One way children learn about gender roles is through observation. Cognitive gender differentiation begins in childhood when we see men and women in different social roles and discover that gender is an important category that guides our behavior.
It follows that the equal distribution of responsibilities in our home and the rejection of the idea that men and women should perform certain tasks could reduce the importance of gender differences for children.
In discussing the gender typing that takes place in childhood, stereotypes are natural but not inevitable: "environmental factors have a great influence on how children learn about and adopt stereotypes present in their society" says that with an excess in our society gender-related factors, children will definitely absorb the relevant stereotypes.
However, the use and acceptance of such stereotypes is not inevitable, especially if children are introduced to non-gender role models. When parents move beyond traditional gender role schemas, this can cause their children's attitudes towards gender roles to change.
For example, in one long-term study lasting 11 years, active parental involvement in the lives of their preschool children predicted adolescents' support for non-traditional types of employment, and parental participation in the lives of 7-9 year olds predicted support for non-traditional child-rearing patterns.
Gender education in OO. However, parents are not the only agents of gender socialization. Gender-neutral language in children's literature and the portrayal of women and men in household and business roles in children's programs have a long way to go to stop children from abusing gender distinctions.
Some research suggests that the media can change perceptions associated with gender stereotypes. Unfortunately, traditional gender images will dominate as long as they are considered to help sell products and attract viewers or readers.
Consumers can sometimes influence imagery in the media by sending letters and refusing to buy products from companies that use stereotypical gender imagery.
In addition, parents should critically evaluate the books, movies and TV shows their children watch so that children are less likely to encounter gender stereotypes. Disney children's films available for sale or video rental portray both genders in a manner that is overtly gender stereotypical.
Moreover, because these films are often viewed multiple times (children will enjoy watching the same movie many times), they can be especially helpful in instilling these views.
The process of gender self-knowledge begins closer to 4 years. Starting from 3.5 years and up to 5 years, the attributes related to the sex of the child are very important. When reading fairy tales to a child, this gender need must be taken into account. Children begin to identify with characters of their own gender. must take into account the process of gender self-knowledge of the child. A boy or a girl is looking for figures worthy of identification in a fairy tale. If your fairy tale is without a character suitable for the gender, then a child of 3.5 years and up to 5 years old will refuse to listen to it or quickly lose interest in the fairy tale.
The direction of gender education in an educational organization, what girls need to read fairy tales about cunning foxes and princesses. For boys, read about brave hares and battles. At the same time, do not forget to focus not only on militancy and courage, but also on the ability to care and support. By doing this, you are doing a favor not only for his future wife, but also for yourself. The son's concern for elderly parents will be very pleasant and necessary - gender education in a preschool educational institution will bear fruit.
Diverse education in an educational organization should take into account that the relevance of gender education is that along with the awareness of their gender role, fears come to four-year-olds, as well as the first insults and quarrels with peers. Here, in addition to a sexual tale, the tale will also play a psychotherapeutic role.
Games on gender education. The girl has ceased to be the only child in the family and suffers. Jealousy overcomes her despite all the preparatory exhortations and touching stories about ultrasound and pregnancy, about looking like a baby doll, about the advantages of an older sister, about the fact that you love her too ... Read the fairy tale “Geese Swans” to the girl and her ability to empathize with her daughter’s jealousy will amaze you .
The boy has become afraid of the dark - heal his fears by reading The Stolen Sun. Both boys and girls benefit from reading magical stories. They create in the child the feeling that you can always find a way out of the most difficult and hopeless situation, because any problem is solved.
If a fairy tale helped a child get rid of a destructive feeling, then the child will feel gratitude for this to the adult who read it. And this strengthens the trust of girls and boys in close adults and improves relationships.
Sometimes children interpret a fairy tale in their own way, correlate their life and the plot of the fairy tale, put the main emphasis on minor things, etc. Try to figure out what the matter is, but even if the kid draws an obvious parallel with the plot and the conflict in the garden, then do not rush to emphasize this. At 4 years old, the child has concrete thinking and he will understand only the consonance of the character's experiences and his own.
Patiently answer all the questions that arise in the course of the tale. Watch for emotions, if you are very worried, then offer to pour out emotions on paper, let him draw characters the way he needs it at the moment. Do not spoil the effect of fairy tale therapy with the correctness or incorrectness of the image.
It happens that a girl does not want the frog princess to get rid of her toad appearance, and Ilya Muromets became cautious about something with the boys. So be it - be gentle for now, gender moralizing later.
Conclusion: The gender development of children in an educational organization should be aimed at ensuring that the gender identity is formed in the child on time and there are no such inconsistencies:
• activity in the expressed desire to change one's gender and name should alert adults;
the child in his dreams also normally sees himself identical to his gender
· the desire to dress and act like the opposite sex can also indicate problems with gender identity.
I would like to pay special attention to the fact that the modern world wants to see in a girl not only traditionally feminine qualities. Therefore, do not forget to develop the girl comprehensively. Well, a boy who cannot cry will never become tolerant, sympathetic and will not be able to come to the rescue.
Complex of didactic gameson gender education
for preschool children.
Game as a means of educating preschoolers
The game, according to teachers, is the best method of teaching something. After all, children 3-5 years old cannot be seated at their desks, demanding attention. When playing, the child does not think about the fact that this is study and something is wanted from him. He simply performs actions that are interesting to him and easily, naturally remembers a lot of the necessary information.
Gender games for preschoolers are one of the ways to explain how girls and boys should behave, what rules their behavior in society obeys. The outdated stereotype "boys - cars, girls - dolls" has long outlived its usefulness, modern methods of early development speak about something completely different. In addition, the boundaries between male and female professions are gradually blurring, many women are passionate about the ideas of feminism. Because of this, it becomes more difficult for the younger generation to adapt to their role, and many parents, and especially grandmothers, oppose new practices, when boys play with dolls and “daughter-mothers” are not only allowed, but also encouraged, and girls dream of becoming not a housewife, but, say, a prime minister.
A few tips for teachers:
It is necessary for boys to develop fine motor skills, for this use the appropriate games, and for girls - large motor skills (ball games).
Make all toys available for boys to experiment with. And for girls, water and sand are better suited for the implementation of possible search options, joint discussion.
The boys need to explain the task, the problem situation, give instructions for at least 1 minute before he takes action.
Use different puzzles for girls more often.
Let the boys express their feelings before discussing them with them.
Experiment with girls with 3D space; use illustrativeness, visibility and figurativeness in working with mathematical calculations and in designing, this will help to make mathematical representations for them more specific, accessible for understanding.
Praise the boys for their mobility, energy, activity, try to switch these features to work, help other children in class, complicate problem situations.
If there are boys in the group, be sure to pay attention to the girls. Perhaps there is also a leader among them, but due to male dominance, her leadership qualities cannot be revealed.
Praise both girls and boys more often, especially for good actions. Keep a camera handy and take pictures of the children. This technique will help children of both sexes be proud of their achievements, increase the motivation for successful problem solving.

Gender Education Games help to form the social gender of a person, which includes social, psychological and cultural characteristics. To put it simply, a born baby will someday see and realize his physiological characteristics and figure out who he is - a boy or a girl. But to form the correct male or female behavior is the responsibility of education.
How do children learn how to behave in terms of whether you are a boy or a girl? Of course, by observing adults, men and women. However, adults do not always give the correct sample, as they themselves do not always have a clear idea of their gender role. In addition, the child may witness an inflection in the gender role, when an adult takes a tough life position. For example, “This is how men should behave”, “You are a woman - sit and be silent.” We call such rigid incorrect life positions stereotypes. The task of gender education is to destroy these stereotypes and give the child the opportunity to show greater freedom of choice and self-realization, to help him be flexible and be able to apply various ways of behavior. consists in an individual approach to the manifestation of one's identity. Another important point of gender education is the need to show the child the equality of men and women, which will help them in the future to more adequately assess their capabilities and claims, to activate personal resources.
Of course, taking into account the anatomical and biological features is mandatory, since the potential possibilities of mental differences between the sexes cannot be discarded. However, going from innate data, we move on to the formation of a social role.
