Children's games for speech development. Finger and gesture games

By the age of 2, the child becomes more independent. The baby tries to dress, undress, hold a spoon without the help of adults, and develops other skills. At this age, the baby carefully watches his parents and strives to imitate them in everything. Therefore, first of all, parents should develop the child’s speech. Their task is to communicate as much as possible with the child, give him a feeling of care, love and, of course, play with him. The games presented in our article for developing the speech of a 2-year-old child will help, provided they are played regularly.

First of all, parents should develop a child’s speech.

Games for developing speech in a 2 year old child

In order to begin to develop a child’s speech skills, the main condition must be met. You need to interest the child play activities, and not force him to study. The baby should see passion for the game process in the eyes of mom or dad and feel positive attitude parents. Otherwise, the child will not show any desire to perform the proposed games. In addition, do not try to play many games at once. Play one game first. If your baby is tired, switch him to another activity.

In order for the baby’s speech to develop, it is necessary to expand the active and passive vocabulary (words that the baby understands and words that the baby can pronounce). It is necessary to develop articulatory motor skills, auditory attention, speech breathing, work on grammar. Special attention needs to be devoted to development fine motor skills and activity of children's fingers.


In order for the baby’s speech to develop, it is necessary to expand the active and passive vocabulary

To make the process most effective and useful, we have prepared especially for you examples of games for developing the speech of a 2-year-old child.

Game "Small-big"

Take 2 cups different sizes and volume. Place a small glass in a large one and show them to your child. Then take out a glass in his presence smaller size from a large one with the words: “Small”, “Big”. Invite your child to put one glass into the other on his own.

Game "Contrasting sizes"

After mastering the first game, you can move on to its more complicated form. Take 3 cups of different sizes and show that the small one can be removed from the medium one, and the medium one from the large one. Ask your child to put the cups back. It's okay if the child doesn't succeed at first.


Take 3 cups of different sizes and show that the small one can be removed from the medium one, and the medium one from the large one.

Similarly, invite your child to compare 3 toys of different sizes. Arrange them in a row: small, medium, large. Name the sizes and ask your child to repeat after you. Then swap the toys. Let the child try to put them in the original order.

Game "Hide and Seek with Pictures"

Prepare 4 pictures with images of animate objects. For example, cat, dog, hedgehog, bunny. Lay them out in front of your baby and name each animal. Then ask the child to show the dog, for example. After he shows it, let him keep the picture for himself. Do this with all the cards. As a result, the baby will have all the images.


Prepare 4 pictures with images of animate objects. For example, cat, dog, hedgehog, bunny.

Next, ask your child to return the cards. Arrange them in 2 rows. Say: “Now I’ll hide the bunny.” Turn the picture face down. Turn over all the cards in the same way. Now ask your child: “Where is the bunny hiding?” Let him point with his finger, then turn the image over. Do a similar action with all the pictures. Encourage your child and praise him for correct answers.

Game "Building a tall tower"

Teach your child to build a tower. First, show how to create it from cubes. Then suggest using non-traditional materials to build the tower. These can be plastic jars, containers, cups, plastic caps from bottles, jars, vials, cardboard boxes, large buttons and much more. Have a fun competition to build the tallest tower.

Game “Prankish tongue”

Tell the baby that the tongue did not listen and ran out of the house and into the street. For this he must be punished. Gradually stick out your tongue, biting it from tip to root, saying “Ta-ta-ta.” Then gradually hide your tongue, also biting it and cursing “ta-ta-ta.” Ask your child to repeat after you.

Game "What's in the bag?"

To play you will need a small opaque bag. Take 3-5 toys (well known to the baby) and put them in a bag. Take one toy out of the bag at a time (you can assign this to your child). Ask the question: “What is this?” If the child answers correctly, then praise him. Do not scold your child when he distorts his words. For example, instead of the word “car” he says “bi-bi”, instead of “dog” he says “ava”, etc. A child aged two years is more comfortable babbling. Over time, he will begin to speak correctly. If parents constantly correct the baby, he may withdraw into himself and stop talking altogether.

Game "Gate"

Take 2 chairs and make a gate out of them. Collect your baby's favorite toys and show them through the gate. A round dance is best performed with cheerful music. As you do this, say the words:

Here, here, here, here,
Let's lead a friendly round dance!
Hedgehog with a teddy bear
Squirrel with a bunny!

Microphone game

Teach your child to speak, sing and whisper into a microphone. For example, let him recite rhymes or sing his favorite songs at karaoke. You can stage performances and pretend to be animals. Tell your baby to listen to the sounds being spoken.

Game "What's in the picture?"

Prepare in advance a deck of cards with images of animals, birds, berries and fruits. You can buy ready-made cards. You can also make them yourself. To do this, take paper pictures, cut out and paste on cardboard. Invite your child to draw any card. If the picture shows a berry or fruit, the child should try to describe the size, color, and taste of the product. If the baby pulls out a card with a picture of an animal, then the child needs to tell what he knows about this animal. Let him try to depict the habits, gait, and make sounds that are characteristic of this animal.

Game “Show me where in the room...?”

Show your baby several objects in the room (no more than eight) and name them. Then give your child three assignments (at this age, the child cannot complete more assignments in a row).

Game "Colored cubes"

Take 6 cubes of 3 colors (2 blue, yellow, red). Place them in a row, alternating colors (cubes of the same color should not be together). Then take a cube of the same color (name the color). Ask your child to find a cube of the same color. Then swap the cubes. Take a cube of a different color, calling it. Again the child must find a similar cube. After this, name the colors of each cube in the row and ask your child to repeat after you.

Game - the best remedy communication with the baby. If you regularly use the games described with your 2-year-old child, the effect of the lessons will not take long to appear. Praise your child when he completes tasks correctly. If something doesn’t work out for the baby, it’s not tragic. Don't take your anger out on him. The child will succeed another time.

If, after two to three months of systematic training, the baby’s speech skills do not progress, this is a reason to contact a specialist. Perhaps the baby has serious speech disorders, the reasons for which may be different. Such disorders must be corrected with medication or other types of treatment.

Educational games for the development of all aspects of speech in preschool children

It is known that in the game the assimilation of knowledge occurs much more successfully,

than in training sessions. A child captivated by an attractive idea

crowbar, as if he does not notice that he is studying. At the core developing games are based on a combination of elements games and exercises, a gradual transition from fun games to educational and cognitive activities.

In such games, the child’s mental activity increases, thinking and speech develops. Speech and thinking are the two most important mental process are inextricably linked with each other. Educational games help relieve children feeling stiff, overcoming shyness, development of logic of thinking, speech and general initiative, originality of thinking.

For children's speech development, for example, to practice the correct use of endings of the genitive case (in the names of vegetables, fruits, berries, I use a game for attention “What’s missing?” The child closes his eyes, I remove two pears from the basket. Child guesses: “There are no more pears (plum, apples).

To exercise children in the correct pronunciation of adjectives with a noun and expand the semantic meaning of the word, we use the game “What can be ... narrow (wide, liquid, soft, hot, etc.) This game can be played in a circle with a ball. The teacher asks a question and throws the ball to the child, who catches the ball, answers the question and throws the ball back. The teacher throws the ball to the next person. We spend a lot of time in the circle with the ball. educational games. So, to expand the vocabulary and get acquainted with generalizing words, I use the following games:

"Edible - not edible" ;

"It flies or it doesn't fly" ;

"Tasty words" ;

“What can you ride?” ;

“Whose leaves?”(willow-willow, oak-oak);

For example, the game "Feed the Animal",I I say: "Cat", the child who caught the ball, answers: "Milk"(meat, bread, etc. until the chain breaks. The child in front of whom the chain broke goes to the center of the circle and names another animal - the game continues.

To expand my vocabulary I use a ball game "Animals and their cubs» (The teacher names the animal-child cub) To consolidate the articulation of sounds and to isolate sounds in words by ear (at the beginning of the word, in the middle, at the end) I use ball games(and without): “Come up with a word that starts with a sound.”;

“Think of a word that ends with a sound.” ;

“Come up with a word with a sound. (w.,f.)» .

I also use games developing language sense who teach you to choose rhyming words words:

"Pick up similar words» A child in the center of the circle says a word and throws the ball, another child catches it, says a similar word, and throws the ball back. (onion-beetle, jackdaw-stick, cat-louse) ;

"Find yourself a mate".The child in the center of the circle says a word, one of children(who can come up with it faster) names a word that rhymes with it (tit bird) and pairs up with the first child, and throws the ball to any other child, who in turn names a new word. The game continues until everyone is in pairs and there is a third left. Then you can play an active game "The Third Wheel".

To teach children select antonyms for words (words with opposite meanings, play a game "The word is backwards"(Teacher in the center of the circle with a ball speaks: "Black"- and throws the ball to the child, he must answer: "White"-and throw the ball back (soft-hard, cold-hot, etc.) To introduce into speech children generalizing words use game "The Fourth Wheel".Here it is not necessary to achieve detailed explanation, if the conclusion is made correctly (rose, chair, tulip, chamomile; hammer, screwdriver, spoon, pliers).

In my work with children for speech development I use games according to the TRIZ system. Game “How are they similar and how are they different?”.For example, we looked at chicken and partridge. We split into two teams. The children named several signs than similar:

both chickens, both birds, begin with the word "ku", have a beak, two legs, wings, feathers, a tail, hatch from an egg;

and how they differ:

wild domestic

flies doesn't fly

no home there is a home

no scallop there is a scallop

not in store chicken eggs available in the store

Game "Good-bad".It's raining. What's good? andWhat's bad?

Children learn to form complex sentences, imagination develops, the dictionary is expanding children. When it's raining then (flowers grow well, trees are clean and green, mushrooms grow, there is no need to water the garden). What's bad? If it rains, then (it’s muddy outside, it’s cloudy, you can’t walk, the animals are cold and uncomfortable in the forest, but Misha T. objected“What if it’s hot outside? Then, on the contrary, they feel good, they bathe.”)Children learn to think.

Very useful for children's speech development games with pictures with plot development of action,or "stories in pictures", which are often published in children's illustrated magazines. And also pictures-riddles like “What has changed?”, "Find the Differences".

Educational games can be short-term or longer (10-15 min.), can be planned in advance, or can arise spontaneously, the educator must have a sense of "moment".

In order for children to learn to ask questions correctly, as well as to correctly use definitions and adjectives with nouns, we use the following games like: “Guess what it is?”-children name objects based on the adult’s description (kind of a riddle);game "Make a wish on an object"- the child makes a guess about an object and describes all its signs, what it is, what it is made of, the children guess; game "Not really"-the presenter thinks of a word, for example, kitten, the children ask questions, trying to guess what it is (e.g., is it alive, meows, eats carrots, is it fluffy? etc.).The presenter has the right to answer only "Yes" or "No".Direct questions “Is this a kitten?” are not allowed.

For development of coherent speech using funny games. For example, I say children: “Today a bear came to you instead of a teacher, listen to him! The role of the bear is played by a child. He doesn't know how to put on a coat, a hat, or doesn't know how to eat at the table. It does everything the other way around. The children tell him how to do it. Game - "reification"-living things are endowed with the properties of non-living things. For example, I say children: “Imagine that you are icicle people, made of ice. Sasha T. Speaks: "Then I'll live in a refrigerator".Katya S. Corrects: “We need to build a big refrigerator-house. Kate continues: “If we eat snow with sugar, we’ll get ice cream.”. Game "Snowball"-children learn to come up with adjectives and definitions for nouns. The guys stand in a circle, the leader names the word, the next player repeats the word and names other words related to it in meaning. The word acquires new words, like snowball. The one wins, after which no one else can add.

In the game "Beast, Bird, Tale" children come up with fables and practice coming up with the names of animals and birds. Children stand in a circle. Everyone says in unison "beast, bird, fable", repeat several times and clap your hands. The presenter suddenly speaks "stop" and indicates any player. If the game is interrupted at a word "beast", the child names an animal in words "bird"-bird, in words "fable" invents something that doesn't happen (a crocodile flies, a pussy sits on a birch, etc.) You cannot repeat what has been said before.

In a riddle game with pantomime “Where have you been, what have you seen?” children, standing in a circle, agree on what they will portray in pantomime (eating, flying on an airplane, sewing, knitting, putting on a hat, swimming, etc.). One child stands in turning away(do not spy or eavesdrop) When the children call him, he comes up, greets the children and asks: “Where have you been, what have you seen?” Children answer: “We won’t tell you where we were, but we’ll show you what we did.”.The child guesses and explains in words where the children were and what they did. In this game, children learn to convey their impressions of various life situations through coherent speech and expressive movements.

For development of coherent speech in children I use a method called writing fairy tales. For this we use different techniques, for example, flannelgraph or carpet and a set of pictures based on fairy tales. So, taking a set of pictures for a fairy tale "Zayushkina's hut",brothers Dima B. and Seryozha B. composed a new fairy tale: “The dog met a bear, then they went to visit the bunny, and the bunny already had a cockerel as a guest. The bunny called him to cut his grass for the winter.”All the children really liked it. new fairy tale. I also encourage children draw funny pictures of confusion and explain their contents, compose fairy tales from blots. When composing stories and fairy tales, we use the game "Track".It is also called a mnemonic track. Mnemonics are a set of techniques that facilitate memorization. Each child receives a kit geometric shapes. I tell a fairy tale, for example, "Kolobok".Which -

Some words are conventionally denoted by a figure. “The woman swept the barn with a broom, according to the

I scraped the seeds, picked up a handful of flour” - put a triangle on the table. “I kneaded the dough and made a bun”- lay out a circle. "I put it in the oven"-rectangle. “The bun was baked, we put it in the window to cool.”-rhombus. At the end the naughty cat came and scattered "track" from geometric shapes. Children enjoy restoring "track", accompanied by the story of a fairy tale. You can also recite a poem using the scheme.

To work on children’s mastery of complex sentences, we use games"Wizards" or "If I Were a Wizard, President".

For children's speech development I also use a game called “Game of "cards".A deck is made of 12-20 cards, which depict characters from a fairy tale (you can use pictures from magazines, postcards, old tattered books). Actions fairy-tale heroes can be represented symbolically – schematically by a mnemonic track. Children are given cards and they tell a story based on the cards.

More for development of coherent speech in children In my work, I use children’s writing of small fairy tales and endings to familiar fairy tales. The book by L. B. Fesyukova helps us a lot in solving this problem "Education with a fairy tale".For speech development thinking is an irreplaceable material. Children learn to come up with new endings to fairy tales. For example, in a fairy tale "Spikelet" The children figured out how the little mice Krut and Vert reformed, began to help the cockerel, sowed grains from a spikelet and a field of wheat grew. They built a bakery and began baking bread. Katya M. came up with the idea that they opened their own store and began selling bread to all the animals. Ira K. I doubted it: “But animals don’t have money?” Resourceful Denis A. came up with: “And they changed. The squirrel exchanged bread for nuts, hares for carrots and cabbage, and a bear for honey.” Everyone liked the fairy tale. The children started talking so casually that the ideas everyone came out in unimaginable quantities. The particle helps us create new fairy tales "Not", or otherwise we call "periphery" fairy tales For example, in the same fairy tale "Spikelet": “And the cockerel found... not a spikelet, but what (children suggest, I help choose a more interesting option).Decided: "I found a sunflower seed".Composed further: “We planted a seed in the ground, a sunflower grew, there were a lot of seeds, we made them sunflower oil, halva, kazinaki sweets. So a fairy tale "Spikelet" changed in a new direction. If children find it difficult, it is worth giving them an interesting idea, leading questions, pushing them to think. We also come up with fairy tales about our favorite toy, fairy tales from a rhyme, fairy tales from "alive" drops and blots, a tracing-paper fairy tale (based on a familiar fairy tale, like a pattern, a new fairy tale.

Over time in preparatory group children began to compose their own fairy tales. I wrote down the most interesting ones. I present some of them to your attention.

Yana Ovcharova « Magic flower» (preg. gr.)

Once upon a time there lived little bunny. One day he went with his dad to pick mushrooms and berries. They walked through the forest and saw a large oak tree, and nearby beautiful flowers. The bunny has never seen anything like this before beautiful flowers. He picked one flower and put it in a basket to give to his mother later. But then a wolf came out from behind the oak tree. The bunny and his dad ran wherever they could. The bunny ran and ran and got lost. Then he saw a squirrel on a tree and asked: “Squirrel, squirrel, you sit high and look far away, help me find my house.” And the squirrel saw his house and told him where to go. The bunny got home, but dad wasn’t there. The bunny and mom thought that dad was eaten by a wolf. And dad, when he was running away from the wolf, fell into a deep hole and could not get out of it. The bunny and mother were very sad. The bunny took a flower from the basket, which he picked near the oak tree and put it in a vase. One petal came off, mom picked it up and at that time I thought: “I wish daddy would come back now”.And as soon as she thought, dad was immediately at home. Then the hare realized that the flower was magical! The flower still has seven petals left. Then mom gave two petals to dad, two to herself, two to the little bunny, and they kept one in reserve; they dried it in a book. Mom made a wish wish: so that they have a daughter, so that they have a big one beautiful house. Dad wished for: so that he has a car, the second is to go to the sea to relax. Bunny wished for: so that he has many friends and that no one offends him in the forest, neither a wolf nor a fox. All their wishes came true. And they began to live amicably and cheerfully.

And Leonardo the turtle swam into the sea again. There he became friends with sea ​​urchin. He gave the hedgehog a ride on his back. When the hedgehog got off the turtle, several needles fell from it onto the shell and they stuck. Leonardo became like a hedgehog. only he had few needles. A jellyfish wanted to sting him, but got stuck on needles and swam away, the shark also wanted to grab him, but it also got stung and swam away.

They made friends with the bee. The little bee invited them to visit her. They agreed, but when they entered her hive, one butterfly stuck to the honey and began to cry. Another butterfly and a bee, no matter how hard they tried, could not get her out of there. Another butterfly flew to call for help. She saw the Elephant again and asked him to help. The elephant blew with his trunk and pulled the butterfly out of the honey, but this caused its wing to crumple a little and it could not fly.

Baba Yaga lived in the forest. She had a black house, it was dirty and evil. There were two more magical houses in the forest, one gray one, it was also dusty, but it was so average, there was both good and evil in it) and another house, all white, there was only good in it. Once Baba Yaga went for a walk and came across a white house. Looks, there are beautiful trees growing near the house snowdrops: "Ugh, what disgusting"- said Baba Yaga and spat on the flowers. They immediately dried up. She walked further, there were also various beautiful flowers growing there, she again: “Ugh, what an abomination” Everything in the house was so beautiful and clean, but Baba Yaga didn’t like anything. She ran home angry. Baba Yaga lived with a cat, he was very fat. The cat was sitting by the door, Baba Yaga, out of anger, kicked the door so hard that she hit the cat with the door. The cat seemed to run down the wall. Baba Yaga hit the table with her fist out of anger, the dust rose in a column, Baba Yaga sneezed so much from the dust that all the dirty pots fell on her head. One pan landed directly on Baba Yaga's head, and the other fell on the cat. The cat was offended by Baba Yaga and left home. But Baba Yaga could not remove the saucepan from her head, so she walked around with it on her head instead of a hat for a whole week.

The cat walked and walked and came across a gray house. The cat settled in this house and began to clean everything there and put things in order. Then the gray house turned white and all evil ran away from it.

And Baba Yaga finally took the pan off her head and went to look for the cat. She left the mortar and broom at home, but took it with her magic ball. He rolled through the mountains, and Baba Yaga ran jumping after him. The ball fell into the hole, and Baba Yaga ran away and fell right on top of him. Ball like will scream: “What kind of stone fell on me! Help! Save!”-how he jumps out, how he jumps and rolls down the mountain. He rolled and rolled and ended up in a village with people. And there the girl alone knitted socks from it. If anyone wore those socks, they ran very quickly, faster than athletes, and they could never get lost, the socks always brought them home.

Then she remembered about the white hut and went to look for it, but did not find it. But I found another hut, also white, where the cat lived. Baba Yaga was so happy! She asked the cat for forgiveness and she and the cat began to live together again in his hut. And everyone who happened to come across them was helped.

Games for the development of speech of a child 2, 3 years old

Since it is between the ages of two and three years that a significant leap in speech development occurs, it is advisable to pay special attention to this. In order for a child to freely express his thoughts and desires, he must have a rich vocabulary. Therefore, train yourself to pronounce all the actions that you perform with your child.

It is necessary to teach the baby proper breathing and develop his articulatory apparatus so that the child can easily speak in long complex sentences. Tongue twisters develop articulation very well.

Teach your child counting rhymes. Repeating these funny rhymes helps your baby's speech development. Several rhymes are given in the section “How to choose a leader.” This section also contains riddles; Ask them to your child and analyze the answer with him. When your child remembers a few riddles or learns to come up with them himself, ask riddles to each other. They develop imagination, observation and creative thinking. In addition to the fact that this is an interesting pastime, with the help of riddles you can choose a leader for games in a company: whoever guessed the riddle first gets to lead.

Between two and three years, a child is just developing his articulate speech skills. This often happens after three years. If something is bothering you, consult a speech therapist.

In addition to breathing exercises and tongue twisters, when talking through all the actions with your child, you need to monitor the correct pronunciation and stress in words.

To develop a child’s speech in many ways, you need integrated approach. When working with your child, draw his attention to the qualities and properties of this or that object, while using as many adjectives as possible to describe it in your speech. Enrich your child’s speech with synonyms, homonyms, etc.

Try to make your classes interesting and fun!

Since with proper breathing we pronounce all words while exhaling, there are many games for training this particular phase of breathing.

Pipes and whistles. For a child, the world is full of various sounds: some can be obtained by knocking on that little thing over there, others - only by blowing into this little thing. By making sounds, the child trains exhalation, learns cause-and-effect relationships (blowed and made a sound).

You can start with a whistle, since to make a sound you just need to blow into it. Choose whistles that your child likes in appearance, are comfortable for his hands and have a quiet whistle. Otherwise headache you are guaranteed.

The pipe is intended for older children. It complicates the task for the child and at the same time makes it more interesting and entertaining. After all, the pipe, having a melodic sound, allows you to get different sounds.

Soap bubbles and more. There is probably not a single adult who did not love soap bubbles as a child. How much pleasure and joy these funny balls, shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow, bring! Your child will probably love them too. After all, you can not only blow them out, but also catch them by running after them and clapping your hands.

By the way, if you arrange children's party with competitions, then a bottle soap bubbles would be a great prize.

Make the solution with your child or buy it ready-made in the store.

Soap bubble solution recipe. To make bubbles quickly and easily, mix a small amount of dish soap or bubble bath and water.

You can build a castle or a mountain out of soap bubbles. Pour some water and dish soap into a glass or mug. Take a straw with your baby, blow into them and watch the foam grow right before your eyes.

A simple cocktail straw can bring a lot of joy to your bath time. There is a lot of water there, and you can splash and blow bubbles. The straw will need to be shortened to a length that suits your child. Standard size may be too large and inconvenient for the baby. By the way, this is one of the effective ways accustom a fearful child to water. In the process of learning to swim, the baby is allowed to blow bubbles in the water, and every day the straw is gradually shortened. You can simply blow on the water through a straw, creating a wave effect. The more they turn out, the better.

Candles. Fire has magical property attract attention. Make candles an integral part of children's parties. This is a great opportunity to play with your child. Blow out the candle - for two year old child is actually not such a simple task as it might seem to an adult. To do this, you need to concentrate, draw in more air, purse your lips like a tube, and even blow not just anywhere, but onto the flame of a candle.

Praise your child for every attempt, because learning to blow out a candle is not the hardest part. It is much more difficult for a child to blow on the flame so that it does not go out. To do this, the exhalation must be smooth and long.

Why a candle? It’s just that her light will tell the child that he is doing everything right. You can also blow on the candle, slowly moving away from it, thereby increasing the distance.

Cotton wool or polystyrene foam. Take a small piece of cotton wool or foam plastic (it is also quite light), place it on the table and ask your baby to blow it away. This game is fun to play in a group. The task is to blow so that your piece moves as far as possible.

And with polystyrene foam you can do even more interesting game: Take a piece of foam plastic, stick a toothpick into it, and make a sail out of paper. Now all that remains is to fill the sink, basin or bathtub with water and start the sea regatta.

In general, you need to blow on everything that comes to hand - as far as your imagination goes.

Speech development in preschoolers is a complex process that occurs over several years, beginning in some of its aspects in newborns and expanding into its subtleties at an older age.

Considerable research efforts have been made to determine the age at which speech reaches its most efficient rate of development.

Most often, speech development is described in terms of phoneme acquisition (the characteristic sound elements used to form words and morphemes in a particular language).

Mastery of this type is usually determined by the correct production of the sound (for example, 50%, 75% or 100% correct pronunciation).

Game "Highlight the word"

This game does not require the use of any visual aids, toys or items. All you have to do is just get together and start playing.

The teacher explains that he will now pronounce different words. In some of them there will be a “mosquito song” (sound), in others – a water song (sound). If one of these sounds is pronounced, the children should clap their hands.

The game should be played in two stages: joint and individual. It's better to play in a group first. This will allow children to quickly learn the rules of the game and get involved in gameplay.

Then, when each child can easily cope with the task, you need to begin the individual stage.

The teacher calls on those children who have difficulty pronouncing the sounds z and s.

Game “Choose similar words”

This game does not require the use of any visual aids. It is only important to get together and start the gameplay.

First, the teacher explains the rules of the game and demonstrates how it is done. He names a word, and then selects and names another word that sounds similar to the first.

For example, the word “cat” would go well with “spoon”. And for the word “ears” a suitable match the word will be "pillows".

Then the teacher invites the children to take part in this game. He calls acquaintances simple words and encourages preschoolers to choose pairs that sound similar.

If children have difficulties, the teacher can give simple tips.
It is important to ensure that children choose the words correctly and say them clearly, loudly and clearly.

Game “Guess where the mugs are and where the mugs are”

For this game you will need two children's mugs and a couple of circles.

First, the teacher shows the kids “circles”, calls this word out loud and asks the children to repeat. Then he shows them “circles”, also says it loudly and asks the children to repeat.

The process can be repeated until preschoolers have mastered these two words.

Then the teacher places each mug on a circle and asks the children what is on top and what is below. Having waited for the correct answer, the teacher places a circle on each mug and again asks the question, what is on top and what is below. Continue the game until everyone can easily complete the task.

It is important to ensure that children not only indicate without errors which object is located where, but also clearly pronounce the words with correct use accents.
Game "Take a toy"

For this game you will need any items whose names contain three or four syllables. For example, crocodile, Thumbelina, Cheburashka, Pinocchio.

The game is very similar to a deaf phone, but has some features. Children are seated in a semicircle.

All the toys are laid out on the table. The presenter whispers the name of one of the toys into the ear of the nearest baby. He whispers this name to the nearest child.

So, the word is passed from one to another until the last child hears it.

He must get up and find the toy whose name he heard. Then he takes the toy in his hands, shows it to everyone and calls it loudly.

The teacher’s task is to monitor the distinct and clear pronunciation of all words that children whisper.

Game “Hear and say the right word”

The purpose of this game is to help children develop auditory and phonemic awareness.

It is very important that children are already preschool age were able to hear and pronounce given sounds.

Additional visual material You don’t need it for the game: you just need to gather the children next to the teacher.
The teacher explains that now he will read out interesting children's poems.

In these verses there are words in the pronunciation of which the sound “S” occurs. As soon as the children hear such a word, they should pronounce this word loudly and clearly in chorus. The teacher reads the verse slowly, so that it is not difficult for the children to catch the sound of each individual word.

Then you can repeat this exercise, choosing different letters. Particular attention should be paid to those letters whose pronunciation is not easy for some children.

Who is the best listener?

2 children take part in the game. The rest are also present and carefully observe the progress of the process. Their role will be described below.

Two competitors stand with their backs to each other, so that the watching children see them both from the side. Let's say one child's name is Sasha, and the other is Masha.

The teacher explains that now he will name the words. Some words contain the letter "sh". And if this sound is heard, then Sasha must raise his hand. Other words have a "w" sound.

If it sounds, then Masha should raise her hand. If the word does not contain these two letters, then no one raises their hand.

Think, don't rush

This game not only develops speech, but also allows you to use children’s thinking abilities at the maximum level, which contributes to their overall mental development and intelligence.

The teacher offers the children to solve several interesting tasks.

  1. Name a word whose first letter is the same as the last letter of the word “karapuz”;
  2. Name a bird whose name contains the same sound as the last sound in the word “sob”;
  3. Name a word whose first letter is “k” and the last letter is “sh”;
  4. What word will you get if you add just one sound to the letter combination “but”?
  5. Come up with a sentence in which each word begins with the letter “m”;
  6. Find all the objects in this room that have the sound “u” in their names.

Game “Name the last sound in the word”

This game will require additional visual material.

You need to select pictures with different objects, animals, etc.

The teacher shows a group of children one picture and asks what is shown on it. After the correct answer has been received, you need to ask the children to name the last sound in this word.

At the same time, the teacher carefully monitors the correct pronunciation of sounds. It is especially important that children be able to pronounce both hard and soft consonants. For example, in the word door the last sound is “ry”, not “r”.

After all the pictures have been reviewed, the teacher asks the children to put them in two different piles. One pile contains pictures with the last soft sound. And the second stack with the last hard sound.

Game "First Sound"

To play you will need any objects, toys or cards with the image of something.

The teacher shows an object and asks the children to loudly pronounce the name of this object in chorus. Then you need to ask the children to pronounce the first sound with which the name of the object or toy begins.

In order to diversify the gameplay, you can also ask the children to take turns saying the first sound of the name of the person standing or sitting next to them.

It is important to ensure that sounds are pronounced clearly and correctly. For example, in the word “Vadik” the first sound sounds like “v” and not “ve”.

Game "Avalanche of Words"

This game will help develop not only the child’s speech, but also his memory, attention, ability to group objects and interact with other children.

The teacher explains to the children that now they will play the game “Avalanche of Words.”

The adult starts the game. He says the phrase “I put apples in the basket...”. And one of the children must continue this sentence by saying another word.

Only this word should denote an object that, in meaning, goes well with the first one.

For example, any other fruit goes well with the word “apples”: lemons, oranges, grapes, etc. But the word tractor or something like that won’t do at all.

Several years may pass between the first long-awaited word “Mom” and the baby’s understandable speech. But I really want to talk to the baby and understand his desires. If educational activities are already making your head spin, stop and just play... games that will help your baby speak!

Parents are silent - children are silent

  • - "Speaks?" - the pediatrician asks me laconicly at the next appointment.
  • “He says a lot, but little is clear,” I answer.
  • - “By the age of one year, I should already speak 20 words!” - the doctor insisted.

Did your baby speak 20 words at one year old? Did you even count? So I didn’t count, because all children are different. Who came up with this rule? And how can you count if half of the words are special words, family words, understandable only to parents.

Delay speech development in a 2 year old child: signs, causes, treatment.

But if you see that your peers on the playground are already babbling quite understandably, and your little one is still distorting his words, do not rush to take him to a speech therapist. Do you talk a lot? With him, with her husband, with other family members?

“Many parents don’t even realize that they themselves are robbing their child of a chance for normal and timely speech. Nowadays, children simply don't hear as many words as they should. How does the standard family evening? Mom is standing at the stove, dad is in front of the TV or computer, the child is given a bunch of toys, “as long as he doesn’t distract him.”

Adults communicate little, part of the communication has been absorbed by social networks, and therefore the younger generation has no need for speech,” says Ksenia Ladozhskaya, a speech pathologist and speech therapist at a private development center in Moscow.

Does your baby talk a little? Then let's start with the parents! We turn off the TV and phone, as well as laptops and tablets. Just finish reading the article first, because next we will talk about games that will help your “silent person” talk.

Talking games for kids

Mom commentator

Teaching your child to talk to himself is very useful thing. Just comment out loud all your movements: Mom went for a walk, mom is getting dressed. The baby will very soon begin to repeat after you, albeit in his own, for now, “gibberish” language.

“Your mine I don’t understand”

Mom can pretend to be deaf for a day and constantly ask the baby again. For example, a baby reaches out for a cup of water, but you deliberately give him a spoon, although you understand his request. What remains for the child? Try to express your need verbally. If the baby is angry, help him: what should I give you? Some bread, some water?

"We sing the words"

“We were baking a loaf of bread, this tall...” Involve the child, at first he will simply raise and lower his arms, spin around in a round dance, but imperceptibly for himself he will begin to sing along, trying to pronounce the words. Also suitable for this purpose folk games: “Across the hummocks” or “Baba sowed peas.”

Important rule! At first, the baby can only sing individual words or even parts of words. Don't rush or correct him, he should feel "free". At the same time, do not go to the other extreme, do not go to children's language and don’t distort words like a child.

Articulation exercises for practicing with a child up to one year old

Fingers will help you speak

You have heard more than once that the development of fine motor skills of the hands is directly related to speech. But the fingers will help the baby speak in the literal sense of the word.

“Finger, whose are you?”

You can act out a real theatrical scene with just one child’s hand; the “actors” don’t even need costumes. Show your baby how your finger can talk, twitch it and ask: “Finger, whose are you?” “I’m mommy’s finger!” - answer as if the finger said it. Now repeat the procedure with your baby's hand, adding other simple questions. In order for the baby to believe that the finger really can talk, you can sew a tiny hat for it, draw eyes and a mouth. It’s even easier to use special toys in the form of animals or people.

“Snail, show us your horns!”

Mom's fist can turn into a real snail that can show and hide its horns.

  • Clench your fist tightly and slowly move it along the table, as if a snail is crawling.
  • Let the baby ask the snail to show its horns; if he doesn’t cope with the task the first time, do it for him.
  • The snail, at the request of the child, shows horns - middle and index fingers, then hides them again.
  • Then offer the snail candy or other treat, the snail rejoices - its palm opens.
  • The goal of the game is to get the child talking and captivate him with the “executive” and funny snail.

Good old nursery rhymes

Teach nursery rhymes, children love them very much, quickly memorize them and soon begin to repeat them on their own. Accompany the reading of each nursery rhyme with movements of your hands, and maybe the whole body.

Games for children over three years old

If your baby already speaks, but knows few words, you can “talk” him with the help of games, preferably collective ones.

Who is the parcel for?

This game can be played in a small children's team or with parents. You will need several boxes, as well as toys or other items to pack in them. Let dad play the postman who brought the package for the child, he tells who sent the package, what is in it and why it was sent. Now the baby is trying on the role of the postman; what package did he bring and for whom?

Go hunting!

What kid hasn’t dreamed of going on a real hunt with dad? The time has come to make his wishes come true, albeit in game form. You need to play outside, preferably on a playground where there are many children. Children stand in one line and take turns moving to the improvised forest, where the hunt will begin. When taking a step, say the name of the animal.

“I’m going into the forest, I’ll hunt elk!” says the first player. “And I’m going into the forest to hunt hares,” says the second. If a participant cannot name the animal, he is eliminated, and the one who can get the farthest wins.

Toys play fairy tale

You and your child distribute toys among each other; these will be characters for fairy tales. You can choose famous fairy tale or agree that you will come up with it as you go. Then everyone in turn names a sentence and shows the action with a toy (for example, “the old woman baked a bun” - the doll approaches the box and takes out a bun ball). It turns out to be a real performance.

The main thing is to involve the child so that he starts talking and wants to come up with lines for the characters. Perhaps later the baby will want to show you a performance or act as a character. Consider this your success!

Games that develop the speech of a child aged 3-4 years

Kind words

You can play this game in family circle, the more players, the more interesting it is. The presenter names the surrounding objects, and the players take turns calling them affectionately. Potato - potato, chair - chair, mom - mommy. If the child cannot pronounce sweet Nothing- he leaves the game. This game is suitable for children over four years old; younger players will find it difficult.

We talked about what games with words, as well as collective and finger games help develop baby's speech. Don’t be lazy to play them, and also recite poems, read fairy tales, talk a lot, and then your baby will babble “incessantly.”

What speech development games do you play with your kids?
