Junior group
For younger preschoolers, simple educational, active and musical games are recommended.
Post a flower
Make two paper daisies for the game with the petals separated from the core. The number of petals must correspond to the number of players. Place daisies on the floor near the wall. Divide the students into 2 groups with an equal number of players.
Invite teams to move their daisy to the opposite wall. Each player transfers only one part of the plant: the first - the yellow core, the second - the petal, and so on. A player is not allowed to take two petals at once. The next participant starts moving when the previous one returns to the start. The team that collects its daisy first wins.
Collect a bouquet
Before playing, tell the children what parts flowers are made of: core, petals, stems and leaves. Cut out plant parts from colored paper and glue them into a bouquet arrangement, but do not glue the petals. Make petals of a certain color from the main spectrum for each flower. Tell the students that the wind tore off the petals, which now need to be selected according to the color for each plant in the bouquet.
You can also offer students a similar didactic game “Collect a flower.”
Bells
Children choose a leader by lot. He leaves the room. The players hide a picture depicting a blooming bell in the game room, disassemble the musical instruments themselves - small bells, and distribute them throughout the room. Moreover, one of the players must stand close to the hidden image.
The presenter enters the playroom, begins to walk around it, and approaches the children. When he approaches a player who is standing far from the picture, he does not ring the bell. When he approaches a participant standing closer to the picture, he makes a quiet ringing sound. The leader approaches the target even closer - the player makes a louder sound. The participant closest to the others rings the loudest. This way the presenter understands where to go in searching for the picture.
A flower is blooming
The game is educational. First tell the children how flowers bloom in nature. Prepare plant templates and distribute to students. Show how to curl the petals. Let the children put the flowers in a glass of water and observe what happens to the petals. When exposed to moisture, the petals will begin to “bloom.”
Middle group
Older preschoolers should know where flowers grow, what features and properties different types of plants have. It is important to instill in students a love for the nature of their native land. We must not forget about the physical activity of the children.
Where does the flower grow
For the game, prepare pictures of flower beds, fields, forests. Make cards depicting flowers familiar to the children. Invite the players to distribute the cards according to the pictures of growing places.
Flower drawing competition
By participating in an art competition, children develop imagination, creative skills, and color perception.
For the competition, purchase or pick a large flower from your garden: tulip, peony, rose, sunflower, iris or other. Children prepare art supplies and sit at easels, if available, or tables. From the finished works they put together an exhibition and choose the winner of the competition whose work they liked the most.
Flowers
The didactic game “Flowers” develops speech skills, imaginative thinking, and the ability to select descriptive features.
Ask a question and let the children give descriptions. You cannot repeat yourself; for each correct answer the player receives a point. The participant with the most points wins.
Here are sample questions:
- What kind of rose? – beautiful, red, lush, fragrant, tender;
- What flowers have spines? – rose, rose hip, cactus, blackthorn, burdock;
- What flowers are perfume made from? – jasmine, lavender, rose, lily of the valley, peony;
- What plants are honey made from? – dandelion, linden, acacia, clover;
- What flowers are yellow? – sunflower, dandelion, narcissus, buttercup.
Flower catch-up
Each player chooses the name of the flower; they should not be repeated. The players decide by lot who is catching up. Let it be “Cornflower”. He names some other plant, for example, “Dandelion”. The player who chose the name “Dandelion” runs away. "Cornflower" catches up with him. When “Dandelion” feels like it is about to be overtaken, it may say out loud another flower, such as “Chamomile.” Then “Romashka” has to run away, “Cornflower” switches to her. If “Dandelion” does not have time to pronounce the word and is caught, then it becomes catching up.
For children in senior and preparatory school groups, games with vegetables and fruits are organized starting in the fall, at the beginning of the school year. Although the tasks in them are quite complex, children are to some extent prepared for their implementation: they see what they do at home with vegetables and fruits, and they themselves take part in the work of adults (sorting vegetables and fruits for pickling, jam, and canning). In addition, in the fall there is always a rich selection of natural materials for a variety of games. The sequence of games is determined by gradually more complex didactic tasks and the amount of knowledge that children must learn. So, at the beginning, games are played to recognize objects based on one characteristic (taste, shape, touch). Then the teacher introduces a more complex task, requiring knowledge of the parts of plants - composing a whole from parts. And finally, the most difficult task is to determine the degree of ripeness of vegetables and fruits (given to preschoolers after learning about the changes in the external characteristics of plants after ripening).
Games to introduce children to vegetables and fruits
Tops and roots
Didactic task. Make a whole from parts.
Game action. Searching for your mate.
Rules. You can look for your “top” or “spine” only when given a signal. You can’t pair up with the same child all the time; you have to look for another pair.
Progress of the game. During a walk after harvesting in the garden, the teacher divides the children into two groups. He gives roots to one of them (onions, turnips, carrots, potatoes), to the other - tops. “All the tops and roots are mixed up. One, two, three - find your mate.” Based on this signal, all children choose a mate for themselves.
Second option: the “tops” (or “roots”) stand still. There is only one subgroup of guys running on the playground. The teacher gives the command: “roots”, find your “tops”! Children should stand in such a way that the tops and roots form one whole. Correct execution can be checked by the “magic gate” (the teacher and one of the children), through which all pairs pass.
Ask, we'll guess
Didactic task. Describe objects and find them by description.
Game action. Guessing riddles about plants.
Rules. Give the description in the usual order: first talk about the shape, then about the color, taste, smell. You cannot name the item when describing it.
Progress of the game. Vegetables and fruits are placed on the edge of the table so that all children can clearly see the details of their shape and uneven color.
First option. One child goes out the door, he leads, and all the rest prepare a description of any plant. The driver needs to guess and name what the children talked about. The teacher can remind or invite the children to remember the sequence of description: shape, its details, color, surface, taste.
Second option. A child describes an object, and another recognizes it from the description. The teacher asks the person who is talking about a vegetable or fruit not to constantly look at the item he is talking about, otherwise the others will easily guess.
The postman brought a parcel. Guess what's in the bag
Didactic task. Describe objects and recognize them using a didactic task. Describe the signs perceived in the description. touch.

Progress of the game. The box (parcel) is brought to the group. The teacher says: “Today the postman brought us a parcel. It contains different vegetables and fruits.” The teacher gives several children a bag and asks them to look into them. “And now, without saying what’s there, tell us one by one what you received in the package, but so that everyone can guess.” Children name vegetables and fruits by description.
The guessed items are placed on the table. At the end of the game, you need to treat the children and ask them to name exactly the taste sensation, its heterogeneity (sour, sweet and sour, etc.
Rules. When choosing an object, you cannot look at it. Describe by feeling with your hands.
Equipment. Vegetables and fruits of characteristic shapes and varying densities (onions, turnips, radishes, beets, tomatoes, plums, apples, pears, etc.) are placed in a bag.
Progress of the game. The teacher reminds the children that they know the game
“Wonderful bag,” and says that you can play it differently.
“The one to whom I offer to take an object out of the bag will not pull it out, but, having felt it, will name its characteristic signs.” The teacher invites one child to his place and asks him to complete the task. The child tells, all children name an object that they do not yet see, after which the child takes it out of the bag and shows it in his hand. The named item does not go back into the bag.
Ripe - not ripe
Didactic task. Determine the ripeness of vegetables and fruits by external signs.
Game action. Search for a couple..
Rule. You can look for ripe or unripe food only at the teacher’s signal.
Equipment. First, you need to select vegetables and fruits with a clear sign of ripeness, expressed in color. For example, tomatoes, plums, apricots, etc. When repeating the game, you can offer fruits (vegetables) with less noticeable signs of ripeness. For example, apple, pear, etc.
Progress of the game. The game can be played as an outdoor game. The teacher distributes ripe vegetables and fruits to half the group of children, and unripe ones to the rest. At a signal, children look for their mate, that is, a comrade who has the same object in his hands, but of a different maturity. During the game, children exchange vegetables and fruits several times in order to better recognize ripe and unripe vegetables and fruits.
Edible - inedible
Contents of tasks. Let's remind children that vegetables are grown for food. For some, the above-ground part - the tops - is used as food, for others - the underground part - the roots. The day before, read the fairy tale “The Man and the Bear” to the children, and then
invite the children to remember its content: the man and the bear decided to plow and sow together, and split the harvest in half. The cunning man always chose the edible part (tops or roots), and gave the rest to the bear.
Didactic task. Select plants used in food.
Rule. You cannot name fruits and berries, since they are sown for more than one year, and it will be easy for the bear to find out which part is edible. A man should choose such vegetables for sowing that he gets the edible part.
Equipment. On the table are vegetables and fruits with edible roots (carrots, beets, turnips, radishes, onions, etc.) and with edible tops (cabbage, tomatoes, peas, cucumbers, etc.). Progress of the game. The teacher calls two children. One of them will play the role of a man, the other - a bear. The man offers vegetables for sowing so that he gets the fruit, but the bear gets the tops or roots, which they don’t eat. For example, he says: “We will sow radishes.
In the fall I’ll take some roots for myself.” The bear chooses another part of the plant that is not used for food: “I already took the roots before, they are not tasty (last time we “sowed” them, for example, cabbage). I’ll take the tops now.”
When the game is repeated, new children are chosen for the same roles.
Children on a branch
Didactic task. Select items that belong to the same plant.
Game action. Finding your match.
Rules. You can search for a pair after the signal.
Progress of the game. The game can be played as an outdoor game. Children are divided into two subgroups: one is given leaves (“branches”), the other is given vegetables (“kids”). At the signal: “Children,” find your “Branches”! - everyone is looking for a pair, that is, it becomes so that his and his friend’s objects coincide in belonging to the same plant.
What first, what then
Didactic task. Determine the degree of ripeness of vegetables and fruits by external signs.
Game action. Search for your group.
Rule. You can look for your place only by signal.
Equipment. Vegetables and fruits (4-5 names) of varying degrees of ripeness. For example, a green tomato begins to turn red - brown and red.
Progress of the game. The teacher distributes vegetables and fruits to the children and invites them to “mix them up.” At the signal: “Find your vegetable!” - children, holding vegetables and fruits of the same name, gather in groups.
The correctness of the choice is checked by “Magic And within each group they must position themselves so that there is a gate” (teacher and child or two children). The gates can be seen that first, what then, that is, observe that they close (raised hands are lowered) if the couple has completed the ripening sequence - from unripe to ripe. The task is correct. The link that wins is the one that quickly gets together and stands in
When repeating the game, children exchange leaves and fruits. correct sequence.

So that children do not confuse the seeds of ash and maple, draw their attention to the distinctive features: ash leaves (separate “scapulas”), while maple seeds are fastened in pairs.
After the game, you can examine other distinctive features of these plants: the color and structure of the branches, size, surface, color of the buds.
Senior group
Games for older preschoolers should be aimed at developing logical thinking, speech, intelligence, curiosity, and perseverance. At this age, children must classify plants according to different characteristics, and preparation for school begins.
Turning into a flower
The game strengthens the facial muscles and promotes overall physical development.
Invite the students to use facial expressions and body movements to depict a flower, how it opens its petals, reaches out to the sunlight, bends its stem under the raindrops, and closes for the night.

For the game, prepare groups of cards: meadow species, forest, field, garden, water. There are 4 plants in each group, one of them does not correspond to the category. Lay out the cards in front of the players, ask them to name the extra type and explain their opinion.
For example: rose, tulip, clover, peony. Clover is not a garden plant, but a meadow plant.
Flowers
In addition to getting to know plants, the goal of the didactic game “Flowers” is physical training, developing dexterity and a sense of rhythm.
The children take turns playing. The player takes the ball, hits it on the floor or wall, catches it, and names a plant with each hit. He must name 5 species. You can't repeat yourself. If a player cannot remember the plant, then he gives the ball and the right to play to the next player.

Game "Butterflies and Flowers"
GOAL: to establish equality between two groups of subjects
Flowers lie on the floor at a short distance from each other, one row below the other. There are as many in the group as there are children.
The teacher invites all children to imagine themselves as butterflies. Invite several children to say that they are “butterflies.” How many butterflies? A lot of.
The butterflies have flown. Children wave their arms - “wings”, “fly” around the room. On the signal: “Butterflies land on flowers!” – each child should stand next to a flower lying on the floor.
The teacher clarifies: there is a butterfly on this flower, there is a butterfly on this flower, there is a butterfly on this flower.
– What is more and what is less: flowers or butterflies?
– There are also a lot of flowers, a lot of butterflies. The butterflies rested and flew again.
The game is repeated 2-3 times. During the game you need to put 1-2 more flowers so that it doesn’t turn out evenly. And then ask the children what else: flowers or butterflies.
Game “Sparrows and the Machine”
Children - “sparrows” sit in their “nests” - circles, lying on the floor in 2 rows at a short distance from each other. In the opposite corner of the room there is a child with a steering wheel in his hand: he is the driver of the car.
Educator. You are sparrows. Each “sparrow” has its own nest. How many nests, how many “sparrows”.
The "sparrows" flew out of their nests, flapping their wings and flying.
Educator. A car leaves the garage. The "sparrows" fly away to their nests.
The car was returned to the garage. Educator. Did all the “sparrows” have enough nests? Moreover? What's smaller? Maybe after all? Children answer questions and the game is repeated.
Fast train game
A train is made up of chairs in a row.
There can be as many players as there are strollers, and more or less. Passengers walk along the platform, preparing for departure. A beep sounds. Passengers take their seats. The teacher, together with the children, finds out whether there is enough space for everyone, compares who is larger or smaller: cars or passengers. Having determined that there is more, less, equal, the children hit the road. The train rushes to another station, stops - passengers get off. The game starts again.
The teacher can remove, add the number of carts, so that each time a comparison is made, there will be a new situation for the children. In such games it is better if there is one more item than in the game. This will avoid conflict situations and will not upset the children.
Game “Cat and Mouse”
Ask the children to establish equality-inequality between two groups of objects.
For the game, mouse holes have been prepared - chairs that are arranged in two rows, one row opposite the other. Mouse babies are placed in burrows. The cat is sleeping. The mice came out of their holes and went for a walk. At the signal: “The cat is coming!” – all the mice hide in holes. The teacher asks: “How many mice? How many cats? Have the mice found all the holes? What is greater than, less than, equal to what? "(Children answer different questions.) The cat sleeps again, the mice go for a walk again. (The teacher changes the number of holes, removes or adds a chair.) If a cat catches a mouse, compare how many holes and mice there are. The cat releases the mouse and returns to the den: now there are as many holes as there are mice, there are as many mice as holes.
Game "Fisherman and Fish"
Helps to consolidate the concepts of “one” and “many”, contributes to the formation of the ability to establish equality and inequality between two groups of objects.
There are chairs in a circle, as many as there are children. The chairs represent pebbles on the river bottom where fish can hide. The child is a fisherman. He sits on the shore with a fishing rod. The fish swim freely. On the signal: “There is a fisherman!” – the fish swims away and hides behind the stones. The teacher says: “A fish was hiding behind this pebble, a fish was hiding behind this pebble. How many stones, how many fish. Which is bigger, which is smaller: fish or stones? "After the children answer, the game is repeated.
Game "Birds"
Forms the ability to establish equality and inequality between two groups of objects.
Each bird builds a house by laying a rope in the shape of a circle. The nests are located in two rows at a short distance from each other. Birds fly, enjoy the sun, sing their songs. Suddenly the wind blew, the weather turned bad, and it began to rain. Birds hid in houses. Educator: “There is a bird in this nest, there is a bird in this nest.” Children, looking at the opposite row, compare nests and birds, establish what is greater, less, equal.
They also play games “Butterflies and Flowers”, “Beetles and Dragonflies”, “Horses” and so on
Preparatory group
At this age, kindergarteners are preparing for school. They must have narration skills, tell from memory and visual material. It is important, with the help of games, to develop imagination, memory, spatial and color perception in future schoolchildren, to cultivate communication skills, a sense of beauty, the ability to build a dialogue, attentiveness, and perseverance.
What kind of flower are you?
Invite the students to “turn” into flowers. Each player chooses what kind of plant to become, but does not tell his comrades about it. Children take turns coming forward, depicting their flower using facial expressions and body movements, without uttering a word. The rest of the guys must guess what plant we are talking about.
Flower shop
For the game, prepare natural or artificial flowers. Children act as florists. The game is collective and teaches communication, teamwork, and organization.
The students make up a beautiful bouquet. Then they try to sell it to the teacher. At the same time, they must praise the bouquet, explain what plants were used, why they chose them, and for what purpose the flower arrangement is intended.
Flower names
The players form a circle. The teacher stands in the center, throws the ball to each child in turn, saying a name or an object named similar to a flower. The player who catches the ball must name the corresponding plant. For example: Vasily - cornflower, nail - carnation, Roman - chamomile, jug - water lily, Lilya - lily, Violetta - viola, toffee - iris. The player who finds it difficult to answer is eliminated from the circle.
