Games not only lighten the child the mood, but also help to develop. However small children cannot play a habitual game of tag or house yet. They need simpler, clear, but not less useful entertainments.
One of the simplest games for children up to three years is a search of a toy. However, it is necessary to carry out it at that age when the kid is already capable to learn the favourite bagatelle. Play with the child a little, then put a toy under a pillow and suggest to look for loss together. Direct him that he did not spend too much time for search and did not begin to miss. If the kid begins to cry, then better at once return loss.
This game allows to improve attentiveness and also develops logical thinking. Over time a task it is possible to complicate, hide a toy to more difficult places and to give less hints.
Here it is possible to carry a hide-and-seek. Ask the child you to find, and hide somewhere nearby and very considerably. Do not forget to praise the kid and to say what he is attentive and clever.
Cubes
It is an excellent game which will help the child to learn to distinguish colors and also will improve his motility and orientation in space. At first buy a set from big cubes of contrast colors. Call to the kid of color and ask to collect some pyramid. Correct it when he is mistaken, but do not abuse at all. Build together with it various designs, ask questions in style "what it is color?" or you ask it to give a cube of right color. Over time increase quantity and a variety of figures. During walk also call various colors. After a while ask the child to guess them independently. That the kid understood their distinction quicker, can use additional receptions. For example, you tell the word "red" very loudly and quickly, and "green" smoothly and it is stretched. So the child will be able quicker to remember distinctions.

Aged to 3-ekh years really important that the child learned to move fully. There is a number of games which allows to make it. "Do as I". In the beginning, if the child still badly owns a body, do with it several manipulations: you will raise a hand, bend a leg and so on. Then ask the kid to repeat movements.
