"LEGO Country"
LEGO construction sets have a lot of different parts, and for ease of use with children, the names of the parts are worked out. LEGO bricks come in different sizes and shapes. The names of parts and the ability to identify a cube (brick) of a certain size are reinforced with children over several lessons until the children have fixed these names in their active dictionary.
During classes, the teacher invites children to watch presentations, videos with stories on the topic, which show the moments of assembling the structure, or present intellectual tasks.
When planning joint activities, the teacher gives preference to various game forms and techniques in order to avoid monotony. Learning to build a model step by step allows them to move forward at their own pace and stimulates the desire to learn and solve new, more complex problems. The topics of the lessons are selected in such a way that, in addition to solving specific design problems, the child expands his horizons: fairy tales, architecture, animals, birds, transport, space, etc.
In a collaborative LEGO building activity, the teacher encourages children to identify what an object is like and how it differs from others; teaches to master the ability to measure the width, length, height of objects; solve design problems “by eye”; develop imaginative thinking; imagine objects in different spatial positions. During classes, the teacher works on the development of imagination, fine motor skills (manual dexterity), creative inclinations, the development of dialogic and monologue speech, and the expansion of vocabulary. He pays special attention to the development of logical and spatial thinking, teaches how to work with the proposed instructions, diagrams, and construct a building according to a plan, given conditions, and a model. The teacher begins working with children with the simplest buildings, teaches how to correctly connect parts, examine a sample, “read” a diagram, and first correlate it with a specific example of a building. When creating structures, the teacher teaches children to analyze a sample or construction diagram, find the main parts in the building, name and show the parts from which these parts of the object are built, and determine the order of construction actions. The teacher invites each child participating in the work to complete the task to express his attitude towards the work done, about the progress of the task, about the purpose of the structure.
After completing each individual stage of work, the teacher, together with the children, checks with the children whether the parts are connected correctly and teaches them to compare with a sample or diagram. Depending on the topic, goals and objectives of a particular lesson, the proposed tasks can be completed individually or in pairs. The combination of various forms of work contributes to the acquisition by children of social knowledge about interpersonal interaction in a group, in a team, learning, exchange of knowledge, skills and abilities takes place.

Educational game activity on Lego construction in the middle group “Airplane”Program tasks: introduce the concept of who a paratrooper is, teach children how to build an airplane from a Lego constructor, teach them to identify the main parts and characteristic details of an airplane, assign the names of the construction parts, shape, color.
To develop children's interest in design, independence, creativity, initiative, imagination and children's speech.
Develop the ability to finish what you start.
Foster a desire to help a paratrooper.
Activation of the vocabulary (brick, plate, cockpit, body, chassis, pilot).
Equipment: doll - paratrooper with a parachute, Lego - construction set, picture of an airplane.
Progress:
- Guys, who came to us? (soldier, paratrooper).
Look at the uniform of the paratrooper - green khaki clothes, a striped vest, and a blue beret.
What did he land on? (by parachute).
You know, a paratrooper was sent on a very important mission, he was flying on a military plane and suddenly the engine stopped working, the plane began to lose control, and the paratrooper had to save himself by jumping with a parachute. And he asks us for help, so that you and I can build airplanes and the paratrooper will complete an important task.
- Shall we help you guys? Shall we build a plane?
Showing the picture “Airplane”
- Look what the military aircraft has? (children's answers)
That's right, an airplane has a body, a cabin, wings, and a tail (I show it and name it).
— What is the largest part of the plane?
— What do you think the cockpit is for on an airplane?
- How many wings?
— What else happens on an airplane? (engine, fuel tanks, chassis).
— Why are these parts of the plane not always visible?
—Who flies the plane?
Outdoor game "Planes"
Let's play airplanes! You will be both pilots and airplanes!
— What can you build an airplane from?
Go to the table with the designer, show you the details and, naming each part I need, I make a plane.
- Now I will be an aircraft designer and will build my own plane from Lego. I'll take two 2x4 bricks and connect them with a long 2x8 plate - this is the body of the airplane. Another 2x8 plate is the wings. What is my plane missing? Let's together select the parts from which to make the cockpit and tail of my plane. Thanks for the help!
Now you try to make your own planes, and I will help you!
Make the plane you want, just so that the plane has all the most necessary parts!
“You are brave, dexterous, skillful designers.
You learn everything quickly, everything will work out for you!
Independent constructive activity of children.
The children tell what parts they need, I help them choose, and ask them to repeat the names of the parts: plate, brick, cabin.
At the end of the lesson, aircraft are “tested” .
Each child flies his plane in a circle.
Reflection.
Did you enjoy building airplanes?
Who did we build planes for?
What were they built from?
