Games for attention

Correct focus of attention will allow to change both the perception, and to make life more sated and bright. Perhaps this statement will seem strange. But those who mastered games for attention will confirm: in life they began to notice much more detail, to feel the color more sharply, to perceive sounds more sharply, to react more quickly to the stimulus (and thus to concentrate more quickly and make a decision). But games for attention are needed not only for adults. They are especially important for children. After all, it is at this age that knowledge is laid, the character is formed, the basic skills are fixed, the impetus is given on an intellectual level.

Especially fruitful is the preschool childhood. At this time, the child "absorbs" information easily, most importantly - be able to give this information correctly. For this purpose, games are developed that develop attention.

In one of the kindergartens of the Tambov region, a survey was conducted, the results of which confirmed the importance of such games in development. The research hypothesis was as follows: a specially organized game activity can form separate forms of attention. Subjects were preschool children 6 years old. Before starting to observe, a survey was conducted using tests and observations and a level of attention (or attention property) was established. Then certain games are suggested for children's attention (for several days). As expected, the dynamics produced results. The amount of attention has increased, but insignificantly. It's all about the arbitrary mechanism of imprinting, which is mechanical in nature and developed quite poorly.

The result of the experiment was expected indicators: the time spent on the proposed tasks decreased in comparison with the time that was before the experiment. But, again, it is insignificant. However, there was progress. And if in some children the amount of attention has hardly changed, then the stability of attention has become higher in all subjects, without exception. And this shows that games for attention gave a positive result in general

Some games are offered here.

1. "Who is behind whom?" Children are divided into 2 teams and put in 2 ranks. In each team is chosen leading, which becomes to all the back. Children at this time are rebuilt. At the signal of the leader, the lead should remember who is behind whom (given a few seconds) and turns away again. The children are rebuilding again. The driver turns and puts everyone in his place.

2. "Check your box". Children are divided into several groups (the more, the better). For each group, its flag is highlighted (all colors are different). At the signal of an adult, children run around the room, turn away and close their eyes. At this time flags are placed. On the next signal, each group must run to its flag. The group that won first won.

3. "Find the differences." Even adults like to play this game. On two at first sight pictures there are several differences. The child should name them. To start, the pictures are selected with two or three differences, then complications are introduced (the number of differences that need to be specified is increased).

4. "Gawk". Children are lining up in a circle. The leader's cotton starts to move clockwise, the next cotton - against. Drop out one who is confused. The remaining three children are considered winners. The game can be complicated by changing the pace of movement. In this case, moving children are given voice commands just before the cotton: "running", "step".

The older the child, the more complex the games should be, of course. Today the collections of such games are sold, they can be found on the Internet. The main thing - let the child develop, create conditions for him, and the result will be.
