I think no one will argue that the ability to understand the days of the week is very useful for the child. When the baby begins to visit the kindergarten, circles, sections, encounter the work of various municipal institutions, he has many questions: why is it not necessary to go to kindergarten today? Why in the pool only tomorrow? All these institutions work for some laws that a child, of course, also wants to be aware of. If you teach your baby to define the days of the week, he will be able to approximately represent that he is waiting for this or that day. And this is the first step towards planning your own time.
Do not pester with a schedule of a week to a child under three years, for him this concept is still too abstract. It can not be fascinated and pretty consider. Yes, and a sense of time is not yet formed quite well. The most optimal time to meet the days of the week is the period when the child begins on an ongoing basis to go to various mugs, sections, kindergarten. Here are already Tuesdays and environments will not be empty sound, but days associated with specific events.
From this article you will learn how to learn the days of the week with children so that the process goes through easily and interesting.
As you know, children assimilate any information best when it is served in the game. Therefore, you do not hurry to immediately present the baby an annual calendar with an endless number of numbers, and it is better to prepare an affordable and visual gaming allowance - something like a weekly calendar, on which the child will be interested in the daily mode to track the days of the week. So far, forget about the numbers and months, pay attention only for the days of the week! It is advisable to make a calendar so that every day the child could disassemble / attach / stick / painted, etc. Thus, not only the visual canal of perception will be involved, but also sensual.
With Taisia, the calendar is a steam locomotive, where every car is pockets. Hanging a train on the most prominent and used place is a refrigerator. In the morning, Tasya transplants Masha in that trailer that corresponds to the day of the week, and at the same time checks what is scheduled for this day. In this she helps pictures and reminders, fixed above the traps. Pictures can remind both regular sections and other interesting upcoming events (for example, a trip to the circus, grandmother's birthday). Here is an example of our reminders - dancing, swimming pool and music school.
The locomotive is just one of the many options for designing the first calendar. The calendar can also be made in the form of a staircase with steps, a seven-degree flowers, whose petals are unfastened and fasten to velcro, or simply in the form of a circle with seven sectors and a rotating arrow, etc.
After you found on the calendar the coming day of the week, it is useful to discuss with the child, weekly is a day or day off. (If parents work on a five-day and child visits a kindergarten, these concepts are usually remembered quite easily). In addition, you can remember one of the risks about the days of the week (see below).
Be prepared for the fact that the interest of the child to the calendar will not be eternal, most likely, after 3-4 weeks of enthusiasm, the baby will diluate, and it will increasingly forget to approach the calendar. In this case, it is better to simply postpone the calendar for some time and return to it later. Or you can try tracking days in another way. For example, we really liked the puzzle "I teach the days of the week" company "OXVA" .
To collect such a puzzle, of course, it is possible for one sitting, but, in my opinion, it is much more interesting and gracious, every day to supplement the puzzle with new details (for example, we give a child "2" on Tuesday, the word "Tuesday" and the corresponding detail of the picture ). So, as the week approaches the end, the picture will become more and more. The view of the unfinished picture is always intriguing Taisia, she tries hard to remember what day there is the following number, if only it is soon as soon as possible to get another piece of puzzle
Older children can also be offered to paint every day on the usual calendar or rearrange the day on the calendar with a mobile window. Even if the child does not know two-digit numbers well, it will be a good preparation for meeting them.
Child from 4-5 years old may also like something like nature calendar (Labyrinth, Ozon., My-Shop.). He makes it possible to celebrate not only the day of the week, but also seasons, month, number, weather.
2. Poems about the days of the week for children
In the poetic form, as you know, everything is easier and faster, so you can now resort to the help of merry poems about the days of the week. I will give some good poems. We like to read them, alternately pointing to every day of the week in the calendar (for example, on the carriages in the locomotive).
On Monday we were washed,
Paul on Tuesday swept.
On Wednesday we baked Kalach.
All Thursday played the ball.
On Friday we are a cup of soap
And on Saturday the cake bought.
And, of course, on Sunday
The name of all on the birthday of the birthday.
Sang, jumped, danced,
The days of the week counted.
Here is a week, in her seven days.
I want to meet her.
First day for all weeks
Monday will be called.
Tuesday is the second day,
It is facing the environment.
Mineral medium
Third day has always been.
And Thursday, the fourth day,
The cap is ringer.
Fifth - Friday sister,
Very fashionable maiden.
And on Saturday, the day of the sixth,
We rest all the gurba.
And the last, - Sunday,
We assign fun fun.
Tell us, beasts,
First-Monday -
Bunny-needlewood!
Behind him comes Tuesday -
Nightingpit.
Tuesday - Wednesday
Lisukina food.
Overground Thursday -
Wolf through the eyes of reconciliation.
Thursday to us Friday
Kolobc rolling.
Behind Friday - Saturday,
Bath at the raccoon.
Saturry - Sunday,
All day we have fun.
Muha - Chilyukha
Once there was a fly-clean.
All the time bathed flies.
She bathed on Sunday
In excellent strawberry jam.
On Monday - in the cherry squirrel,
On Tuesday - in tomato gravy,
Wednesday - in lemon jelly,
On Thursday - in Kiere and Resin.
On Friday - in Prostokvash,
in compote and in the manna kashe ...
On Saturday, disappearing in ink,
Said: - I'm no longer in power!
Uzhuzhusno, uzhsyaly tired,
But it seems cleaner did not become.
Runs, hurry a week
Fluster quick days
So the same, in fact,
Are they filled?
- Yes, different things!
Son answered me. -
I walked on Monday
With friends on the rink
On Tuesday and Brother Wan
In the horses I played,
And I took a sleigh on Wednesday
And from the mountains of his catalog.
On Thursday together with a brother
Considered books.
And on Friday first
Little bored
And after the birthday
Wrote invitations.
On Saturday in the choir sang,
Tried who could.
And on Sunday ate
With a club cake.
3. Games
Well, so that everything you learned is not forgotten, it is useful sometimes to play here such games:
- Adult calls the days of the week in random order. If a child hears the name of the weekday, then he pretends that it is busy any activity - draws, builds from cubes, reads a book, etc. ... If the name of the day off is pronounced, then the child pretends that he is resting - sleeps , Dancing, claps in your hands - on your choice.
- Adult lists different words, including the names of the week of the week. When the child hears among a number of words of the week of the week, he must clap his hands. All other words need to be ignored.
- During the game in the ball with each throw, call the days of the week, in the order as they stand in the calendar. The game will help remember the sequence of days.
For older children, you can set such tasks from time to time: what day of the week hid between Tuesday and Thursday? What day goes after Friday? In front of the environment? What day of the week first? And the last one?
4. Cartoons about the days of the week for children
Among the cartoons telling the child about the days of the week, I could not find such that could really recommend from the soul. Basically come across cartoons with very primitive plots and unsubstantiated heroes. But if you can choose from what is, then the cartoons about the steam view of Chuch-Chuh "learn the days of the week with a child seemed to be the most worthy of me. If you caught something more interesting, I will be glad if you share in the comments by your finds.
Finally, as usual, we will mention one useful book on the topic, to my surprise, it turned out to be a very good help.
