Progress of the QUETS game:
The group receives a video letter:
Video letter : I am a treasure hunter Beel. I'm looking for a map of the pirate Flint's long-hidden treasure. There are a lot of legends about these treasures. I can tell you one. “A long time ago, when pirates hunted in the waters of the Pacific Ocean and mercilessly robbed ships, a chest with a magic crystal and precious coins was stolen. In those days, many seekers tried to return this chest, but no one was able to find the map of the hidden treasures. One wise man told me that only children can find this map. And now I'm looking for children who will find the map and be able to go in search of the treasure chest. If you suddenly find a map, immediately go in search of the chest before the villains get it.”
Educator: What are we going to do?
Children express their options and, together with the teacher, come to the conclusion that they will look for a map.
Children find a piece of a map and study the contents, discussing how to navigate it.
Educator: It’s a pity that only a fragment of the map remains, but it might be possible to find the remaining parts. Well, let's go on a search! Put on these headbands, we are one team. The path ahead of us is not easy. Guys, it's time to see where we are going!!! The location is marked with a smiley face on the map (the bedroom in our group)
Educator: Guys, what is this place where we need to go?
Children make assumptions and think. The teacher, with the help of open leading questions, leads the children to the conclusion that this is a bedroom in the group.
Everyone runs to the bedroom and looks for the next directions, which are hidden in the bedroom.
Exercise 1.
Envelope with a task : In the envelope, children are offered many names with various food products; the children’s task is to read and choose only healthy products. Make up a chain of words denoting healthy foods, the last word will tell you where to go next (children are offered many names with different food products, the children’s task is to read and choose only healthy foods):
GRAPE Melon APPLE Omelette Cottage cheese PEAR .
Educator: Guys, where can you find Pear? We listen to the reasoning and check all the options proposed by the children. As the children speak, we give a hint: what kind of bags there are - BOXING bags. Where can a punching bag be located in kindergarten? We run to the gym and look for the next task.
Task No. 2:
Put a proverb out of the words and on the back you will find out where to move next
(Proverb: Health is more valuable than money!
On the back is the word: FISH
Educator: Guys, where do you think you can see fish in your kindergarten?
Children : Aquarium.
Everyone runs to the aquarium.
Educator: Guys, who can tell me about the importance of fish products in our diet? How is it useful?
We listen to the children's answers and reason together.
Task No. 3:
Near the aquarium, children hear a Voice : “Make two problems about fish with the numbers 2, 3, 5 and I will tell you the way forward.”
Children make up problems
Voice : “Go back to where you started!”
The children remember and return to the group.
In the group, the children meet the Sage.
Task No. 4
Sage : “I am the keeper of wisdom and secrets. I know that you are looking for a treasure that no one else has been able to find before you. And I will help you, because you are friendly guys. You will find out the path where you need to follow by guessing my riddle: Who knows the right sign,
The sun is high, which means summer. And if it’s cold, blizzard, darkness
And the sun is low, then... (Winter)
Educator: Guys, where can we see a real Russian Winter? Feel the frost and touch the snow?
We listen to the children's answers and come to the conclusion that it is on the street (everyone is going outside).
Educator: Guys, let’s remember, what does a person need besides a healthy diet in order to be healthy? After all, you learned a lot of new information during the implementation of the “Nutrition and Health” project in our group.
Pupils remember, reason, give answers: “Walking in the fresh air, because...”, “Toughening up and playing sports is good for...” and many others.
During the conversation, the children suddenly notice Baba Yaga approaching.
Educator: Hello grandma! Have you seen the treasure chest?
Baba Yaga: I don’t have any chest.
Educator: The guys and I are looking for the chest, but we don’t know the road further.
Baba Yaga : Beat me, then I’ll tell you where to go
Task No. 5:
Relay races:
- “Who can move all the magic balls faster?”
- "Tug of War"
Baba Yaga: Wow, you tortured me. So be it, hold the magic ball and it will show you the way.
Everyone follows the Teacher (she moves the ball with the help of a magnet). We got to the place where there are skittles and a box of plastic balls. They think about what to do and decide to knock down the pins.
Task 6.
There is a riddle glued to the bottom of one of the pins. You need to knock down the pins and find the riddle.
The guys knock down the pins and find the riddle. You will always find her in the forest - Let's go for a walk and meet her: Standing prickly like a hedgehog, In winter in a summer dress. (CHRISTMAS TREE)
Educator: Guys, where can you and I find spruce now?
We listen to the children's reasoning. Everyone is looking for a Christmas tree on the territory of the kindergarten
Children under the Christmas tree find a chest with treasure. HOORAY!!!
Everyone goes out to the veranda together to find out what is in the chest.
The children open the chest and take out the message:
“Whoever found this chest with a magic crystal should know that the crystal will disappear very soon after opening the chest, but you can have time to make one common wish near it. And for your courage, dexterity, intelligence and ingenuity you will receive precious coins and a magic box with its help you can grow your own magic crystal.
Next, the contents of the chest are taken out one by one, and what it is and what the pirate used it for is discussed.
Now it's time to make a wish. One common desire is discussed and selected. Children stand in a circle, everyone touches the magic crystal and makes a wish.
After the walk, the children received gold coins and shared their impressions, but in addition to the treat - medals, there was a crystal in the chest that the children must grow themselves.
In the afternoon, the children and I began to conduct the experiment “Growing a Crystal”; this was on Friday, and when they came on Monday, the children saw the crystal:
But that is another story!
Parents took part in the organization of our quest in the role of fairy-tale characters and assistants in preparation. They liked this idea of organizing the educational process. After all, adventures, secrets and the unknown are the best motivation for children to understand the world around them, apply existing knowledge, and acquire new ones. But the most important thing is the feeling of team spirit, the support of friends and communication, which brings a sea of emotions and joy.
PS: “Teachers and psychologists have long proven that well-organized play itself is the best means for children to achieve aesthetic pleasure from the creative exertion of their intellectual and physical strength. A game that is relaxed in nature is based on a person’s inner motivation and allows him to develop independent actions. In the game, pleasure comes not only from the result, but also from the process of achieving it.
The quest, with its almost limitless possibilities, provides invaluable assistance to the teacher, providing the opportunity to diversify the educational process, to make it unusual, memorable, exciting, fun, and playful.”
