"It is necessary to study cheerfully to study well" - it is sung in a children's song. And preschool children successfully acquire knowledge only in a game. And, that the kid easily remembered names of geometrical figures, it is worth thinking up interesting and useful entertainments which will help it with it.
According to experts, by two years the child has to be able to distinguish such geometrical figures as a circle, a square and a triangle. By three years the rectangle, a rhombus, an oval, a trapeze are added to them. And their kid will be able easily to remember, playing with parents fascinating games.
Joint game not only helps the child to learn the world, but also brings together the kid and parents psychologically.
We get acquainted!
It is possible to show figures in their "natural" look (drawn or cut out from paper), of course, and it is necessary. But it is much more cheerful to draw them during walk by a branch on sand or snow, a finger on the misted tile or a mirror during bathing in the bathroom, to spread them from what is near at hand (stones, buttons, ribbons). And it is possible to mold figures from plasticine or the salty test. In a word, the more parents will show imaginations, the it will be more interesting to the kid to study.
Everything that surrounds us
To make process of acquaintance to geometrical figures easier, parents should draw the attention of the kid to objects which surround it daily, mentioning at the same time that the book, for example, rectangular, the screen of the TV or the monitor – square, and a plate round. Repeated unostentatious repetition will help the child to learn any given form without effort over time. Gradually the child will be able and independently on the instructions of the adult to find objects whose outlines remind a circle, a rhombus, a square, a trapeze. It is possible to compete who will quicker find among objects in the room of 2-3-4-5 figures of one look (and at the same time to repeat the account).
Color figures
Geometrical figures are made of multi-colored cardboard – on some different figures of every color.
It is possible to acquire a ready set of geometrical figures.
The child is offered to choose only triangles, circles, etc. Figures can be not only different flowers, but also the sizes. By the way, it is possible at the same time and to repeat colors and also to study concepts "more" and "less". When the child easily copes with such task, a game can be complicated. For example, having chosen several squares and 1 triangle from a set of figures, to suggest the child to remove superfluous. And from these bright details amusing pictures which the kid for certain will like to make together with parents or independently can turn out. Designers, sorters and also the developing computer games for kids will also become good assistants in studying elements of geometry.
