Game "Colored Water"

Goal: establishing contact with the child, relieving psycho-emotional stress

Equipment: watercolor paints, brushes, 5 transparent plastic glasses (in the future the number of glasses can be any), water.

Option 1.

Place glasses in a row on the table and fill with water. Take a brush with paint of one of the primary colors - red, yellow, blue, green (you can start with the child’s favorite color, if there is one, this will help to involve the child in the game) - and dilute it in one of the glasses. When commenting on your actions, try to attract the child’s attention, introduce an element of “magic”: “Now let’s put your favorite yellow paint on the brush, like this. Now... let's put it in a glass of water. I wonder what will happen? Look how beautiful it is!” Usually the child watches in fascination as the cloud of paint gradually dissolves in the water. You can diversify the effect and in the next glass you can understand which method he likes best.

Option 2.

When the fascination with the pure sensory effect begins to wane (different children require different time and number of repetitions), you can begin to expand the game. Possible variant game development - organization active participation child in it and the development of everyday skills. So, if a child likes the game, most likely he will agree to follow your instruction request - invite him to open the tap, pour water into a plastic bottle, then fill the glasses with water. If you spill water on the table or floor, ask your child to wipe the puddle with a rag. Instructions must be clear. At the beginning of such work, you act together with the child: “Let's open the tap. Where is our bottle? Here it is, let's pour some water into it - wow, what a heavy bottle it is now, let's carry it together. Now let's pour the water into glasses. Glug-glug-glug - water flows. Oh! Spilled water on the table! What a puddle it turned out to be! Let's take a rag and wipe the table. Now it’s good,” etc. When the child is sufficiently comfortable with this game and clearly understands some simple actions, give him more and more independence when completing tasks.

Game "Mixing colors"

By mixing paints, we can create new colors. To do this, pour water of different colors into one glass or dissolve it in a glass with clean water several colors in turn. So, from yellow and red we get orange, from blue and yellow we get green, from red and blue we get violet.

The process of drawing can give you vivid sensations watercolor paints on a wet sheet. To do this, place an oilcloth on the table or floor. Wet a thick sheet of watercolor paper (simply dipping it in a bowl of water) and place it on oilcloth, smoothing it with a damp sponge. Dip your brush into one of the paints and gently brush over the paper. Continue with other colors.

TOP 10 games with water!

In this article, I present to you 10 water play ideas for kids. Believe me, this is the ideal way to keep your child busy in the country, on the summer playground, on the lawn or in the courtyard of a multi-story building.

1. Wall with waterfalls

Children love to watch how water pours from container to container, smoothly flows down the wall and fills the bucket, so I recommend making a wall for pouring water with your own hands.

Attach the plastic bottles to the wall in stepwise order and the wall is ready!

2. Sponge bombs

They can be played in the water and thrown on land.

Just take colorful washcloths and cut them into strips. To make each ball you will need to take 12 strips (preferably multi-colored) and connect them in the center with a thread.

3. Playing with balloons in a container filled with water.

This is the perfect way to play in the bathtub.

Fill the bathtub with water and place about 30 multi-colored inflated balloons in it. Children love squeezing them, turning them, crushing them, throwing them up or trying to submerge them in water. They giggle as the balls slip from their hands, change shape, and slip between their legs. This game is with water and balloons provides an excellent opportunity to explore sensations and use words to describe feelings. When you ask, “What do the balls feel like?” Children answer: slippery, soft, naughty, etc.

4. Game "Perivashki".

We learn to pour water from a jug into glasses.

For this game you will need water, plastic disposable cups and a plastic jug. The child will arrange the cups and pour water from the jug into them.

Pouring water from container to container will give the child a life skill so that later he can pour himself water without spilling it on the table or dousing himself with it.

5. Game “Hit the Bullseye”

The fifth game is throwing wet washcloths at a target painted on the asphalt.

Draw a target on the asphalt and write a number on each sector in ascending order as you approach the center. Children will take turns throwing wet washcloths at the target. Wherever the washcloth landed, the child earned that many points. By summing up the points, you determine the winner.

By the way, the washcloths must be well saturated with water so that when they land on the ground they do not bounce off.

6. Draw on wet asphalt

Use water from a watering hose or container to wet the asphalt and give the children crayons, paints and brushes for drawing. Believe me, kids will spend hours dragging crayons and brushes along the asphalt, pretending to do whatever comes into their head. The fact is that crayons are easy to draw on wet asphalt, and the images turn out bright and expressive. With the same passion, children paint on the asphalt with paints and brushes. A positive point is that the drawings are easily washed off with water, and children again have the opportunity to demonstrate their artistic abilities.

7. Shooting game.

The seventh idea is a great way for children to play with water if the weather outside is not entirely clear or cold.

The child will not come into contact with water, but will shoot plastic disposable cups with a water pistol. For more excitement, you can build him a pyramid of plastic cups. By the way, not only boys, but also girls like to shoot with a water pistol.

8. Waterbed

A giant water bed is another way (eighth on our list) that can satisfy your curiosity: “What summer games most interesting and exciting for children?”

In order to make such a bed you will not need a lot of money and time! Just buy good quality plastic film (quite strong) and good adhesive tape (I used tape). Unroll the film on the grass or tarp, fold it in half, and tape the ends together, leaving a small hole. Insert the hose into it and fill the product with water. This way you will make a water bed. I recommend watering the surface of the bed too!

Believe me! Children will enjoy playing on this bed!

9. Water games for kids

And the ninth method will appeal to parents who are looking for summer games with water for very young children.

Here, preparing the game is quite simple: take a container, fill it with water and throw toys, figurines, and children’s dishes into it. Allow your baby to play by splashing his hands in the water.

Just look: how much delight there is in the game!

10. Homemade shower

And finally, the tenth idea: build a rain shower from pipes with holes, as shown in the pictures.

Splashes of water from the pipes will delight the child, cause extraordinary joy and a lot of positive emotions.

Game "Colored water"

Target: establishing contact with the child, relieving psycho-emotional stress

Equipment: watercolor paints, brushes, 5 transparent plastic glasses (in the future the number of glasses can be any), water.

Option 1.

Place glasses in a row on the table and fill with water. Take a brush with paint of one of the primary colors - red, yellow, blue, green (you can start with the child’s favorite color, if there is one, this will help to involve the child in the game) - and dilute it in one of the glasses. When commenting on your actions, try to attract the child’s attention, introduce an element of “magic”: “Now let’s put your favorite yellow paint on a brush, like this. And now... put it in a glass of water. I wonder what will happen? Look how beautiful it is!” Usually the child watches in fascination as the cloud of paint gradually dissolves in the water. You can diversify the effect and in the next glass you can understand which method he likes best.

Option 2.

As the excitement for the pure sensory experience begins to wane (different children require different amounts of time and repetition), you can begin to expand the play. A possible option for developing the game is organizing the child’s active participation in it and developing everyday skills. So, if a child likes the game, most likely he will agree to follow your instruction request - ask him to open the tap, pour water into a plastic bottle, then fill the glasses with water. If you spill water on the table or floor, ask your child to wipe the puddle with a rag. Instructions must be clear. At the beginning of such work, you act together with the child: “Let's open the tap. Where is our bottle? Here it is, let's pour some water into it - wow, what a heavy bottle it is now, let's carry it together. Now let's pour the water into glasses. Glug-glug-glug - it flows water. Oh! We spilled water on the table! What a puddle it turned out to be! Let's take a rag and wipe the table. Now it's good," etc. When the child is sufficiently comfortable with this game and clearly understands some simple actions, give him more and more independence when completing tasks.

A game " Mixing paints»

Target : establishing contact with the child, relieving psycho-emotional stress.

By mixing paints, we can create new colors. To do this, pour water of different colors into one glass or dissolve several colors alternately in a glass of clean water. So, from yellow and red we get orange, from blue and yellow we get green, from red and blue we get violet.

The process of painting with watercolors on a wet sheet can give you vivid sensations. To do this, place an oilcloth on the table or floor. Wet a thick sheet of watercolor paper (simply dipping it in a bowl of water) and place it on oilcloth, smoothing it with a damp sponge. Dip your brush into one of the paints and gently brush over the paper. Continue with other colors.

As if by chance, you can run a brush with water over the paper, but without paint - the water mixes with the paints and delicate, blurry, light halftones appear on the sheet.

Experiment with your child!

How do you ask to open the water? Say: “Lena (encourage the child to use addresses), open it!” Here, I opened it - the water started flowing again, glug-glug-glug!” Next time, use your baby's palm to encourage him to close and open the water.

Game "Fountain"

Goal: obtaining a therapeutic effect, emotional release, relieving negative emotions, correcting aggressive behavior.

Studying the properties of water

All children are very attracted to playing with water.
If your baby is fussy, try to distract him by putting him in the bath, full of water, and giving empty shampoo jars and bottles, plastic cups, sponges and small terry towels. Very soon the child’s mood will change - he will be busy with an interesting game.
The baby will begin to pour water, watch how
Containers filled with water sink and empty ones float up from the bottom.
In summer, on a warm sunny day, you can organize games with water in the fresh air,
Pouring it into a basin or inflatable pool. If you and your child spend time on the shore of a pond, the games will become even more varied and exciting. During the experiments and games, the young experimenter will probably have a lot of questions that you will certainly have to answer.
So, the child begins to get acquainted with the properties of water. To do this, provide him with everything
Prepare a watering can, funnel, and transparent containers different shapes and sizes, measuring cup. First of all, draw the child’s attention to the fact that the water is clear. Give your child a small toy or pebble and ask him to hide it in his fist. Then ask: “Where is the toy? No, she is not visible. Now let’s hide the toy in the water, put it in the basin.” Having completed the task, the child makes sure that the toy lying on the bottom is visible. Explain to your child that the water is transparent, so everything is visible in it. If you have an aquarium, look at the pebbles, fish and plants in it with your child. Ask your child why they are so visible.
Show your child one more property of water: water has no taste. To prove it, pour boiled water into three cups.
Water: put a teaspoon of sugar in one cup
Ra, put salt in the other, and leave the third untouched
Chickpeas. Invite your child to taste the water from all the cups.
You can make sure that the water is odorless by sniffing various liquids, for example, shampoo, fruit juice, water solution vale-
Riana and comparing their smell with the “smell” of clean water.
Show your child that water is pouring and
Shapes the vessel it is poured into. To play, give the young explorer a watering can filled with water and several transparent jars of different shapes. By pouring water into them, the child will see for himself the ability of water to fill vessels of any shape.
Invite your child to check the saying “Water will find a hole.” For the experiment, offer a plastic bottle, in the lower part of which several holes of different sizes are made. Moreover, the wider the hole, the thicker the stream of water flowing from the bottle will be.
To measure the volume of bottles of different shapes, offer your child a measuring cup and a funnel. Inserting a funnel into the neck of the bottle, show your child how to carefully pour water from a measuring cup into it. Do not forget to count out loud the number of glasses that are poured into
Measured capacity. By doing the same with a bottle of a different shape, the child will find out which one it contains. large quantity water, and together with you he will be able to draw a conclusion about which of the two bottles is larger.
You can also spend it with your child
One interesting experiment, immersing in water
Objects made from different materials and seeing which ones sink and which ones don't. Draw the child's attention to the fact that wooden and hollow toys, which contain air inside, float on the surface of the water, and metal objects sink.
The following experiment will prove that air is lighter than water and therefore always tends to escape from the water. Take an empty transparent plastic bottle and carefully open the neck
Place it down into the water. Then bend the bottle under water so that air bubbles run up from it. Surely the child will want to repeat this experience himself.
Introduce your child to the properties of water as a solvent. To do this, give your child several transparent cups of water and paint, watercolor or gouache. He will be interested in getting different shades of the same color by adding more paint to one glass and less to another. You can create three shades by adding just a little paint to the water. And if you try really hard, there will be even more shades. Coloring water will help your child understand the patterns of color mixing. Combination
Red and yellow paint gives orange water,
Yellow and blue - green, blue and red - purple.
When young artist When you finish your experiments on coloring water, put it in the freezer. And the next day, show your child the colored pieces of ice and watch together how they melt. In this way, the child learns about another property of water - its ability to turn into ice in the cold.
In order to demonstrate to the child the ability of water to turn into steam
(evaporate), watch with your child
Over boiling water. And then conduct an experiment: cover a container with boiled water and watch how the condensed steam again turns into drops of water and flows down.
Pour some water into a saucer and leave it for a few days. Eventually the water will evaporate and the saucer will become empty.
While walking with your child, observe
Behind the puddle. The surrounding objects are reflected in the water.
You, but they instantly disappear if you throw something into a puddle. Puddles come in different sizes
Ranks and depths: large and small, deep and shallow - some need to be bypassed, while others can simply be stepped over. The depth of the puddle
Can be measured with a stick or spatula.
Demonstrate to your child the life-giving properties of water. To do this, place the branches of a bush or tree in the water; after a while, leaves will appear on them. If it’s summer or autumn outside, then you can put a flower in water and leave another one without water - let the child see for himself which one withers first.
That's how many interesting observations can be made by studying the properties of ordinary water itself.

Each child reaches cognitive age at its own time. Someone begins to make their first discoveries as soon as they turn one year old, while others are ready to study and conquer this world a little earlier... or later. The main thing is that parents are prepared for this significant moment. They could help the little one in his research, quench the little naturalist’s thirst for knowledge. And this can be done using ordinary water. It surrounds us everywhere. She is changeable and fluid. It is fraught with a lot of “interesting things” and “unknowns”. And she's so much fun to play with. So why not make this ubiquitous H2O the subject of educational games for your child? Surely, your little one will perceive such an idea with great enthusiasm.

Water: knowledge of the world

Rain and puddles, a river and the sea, a bath and just a cup of water. They contain a lot of discoveries.

• Water can be warm or cold.
• It pours and pours out.
• And sometimes the water turns into ice.
• All sorts of objects drown in it.
• And there are those who don’t drown.
• You can wet something with water.
• Or spray it.
• And then it evaporates or dries out.

All the “talents” of water cannot be counted. But you can gradually study them in a simple but fun process. And don’t think that children’s pouring bottles are mere pampering. In no case. These simple discoveries are nothing more than the baby’s first steps in understanding the reality around him.

Playing with water develops a child’s logical thinking and prepares him for the upcoming study of school disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and biology.

Games with water for children 1-3 years old

Before inviting your baby to play with some water, you need to prepare a “field of activity” and necessary equipment. Don't be alarmed. The baby is unlikely to get to the point of scuba gear and a submarine. To begin with, a bowl of water or even a small saucepan will be enough.

Can be purchased for playing with water. Games can be played in the bathtub or kitchen sink. In summer - on the banks of a river, lake or sea. Water is quite democratic in this sense. An inquisitive mind will reveal its secrets, wherever it may be. Indoors, of course, it doesn’t hurt to get a rag in advance to wipe away puddles, which, believe me, cannot be avoided.

To play with water, you will need all kinds of play containers and utensils (plastic cups and bottles of different sizes, cups, spoons, plates, in general, anything you can pour water into). Also prepare balls made from different materials. And other toys that, in your opinion, will help to clearly show the baby what water “can do.” Games can be combined with swimming. You just need to control the time your baby stays in the water.

The skin of a one-year-old baby is very delicate. And water play procedures should be continued no longer than 30-40 minutes. To avoid drying out the baby's skin.

One more thing. When playing with water, don't go into too much complicated explanations. It will be enough to show the child what can be done with some water and comment with short, simple phrases: “The water is pouring,” “The boat is sailing,” “The pebble is sinking.”

"Pourers-measurers"

To begin with, show your child the process of water movement itself. You can get water from the tap. Or you can pour it from a bottle. And then pour it into another glass. Or you can pour it into a saucepan and it will mix with other water. The stream of water may be thin and the glass will fill slowly. And if the stream of water is thicker, the container will fill much faster.

Let the baby pour water into jars and bottles, cups and cups himself. This way he will understand that any container can be filled with water. And then invite the little one to check how many small glasses will fit in a large bottle. Or how many spoons of water will fit into a tea cup. Keep count with your child. If he is not yet familiar with counting, use the concepts “many” and “little.”

"Bubbles-bubbles"

Ask your child what will happen if you put an empty bottle in water. The baby will definitely be interested. And imagine his surprise when the bottle, once under water, begins to release air bubbles to the surface. Explain to your child that air is light and water is heavy. She “expelled” the air from the bottle, and it “ran away” to the top. So what happened to the bottle now? She remained lying at the bottom of the container with water.

What if you empty the bottle again and close the lid? Then the water will not be able to expel the light air. And the bottle won't sink. She will float on the surface.

The game will be more fun if you have several ping-pong balls among your inventory (there is also air inside them). When they are immersed in water and then suddenly released, the balls jump high out of the water, giving these little ones a lot of fun.

"Sprinklers, crushers, expulsors"

For this game you need to make several small holes in the cap of a plastic bottle. Then fill the bottle with water and invite the baby to “kick” it out of the bottle. The harder the baby presses on the bottle, the more intense the water will flow out of it. In the summer, you can stage a whole battle, armed with similar “sprinklers”.

Water games for children: bath games

The bathroom can also be used beneficially for its development.

By playing with your baby in the water, you teach him the basics of all natural sciences, equipping him with knowledge about the world in which the baby lives.

"What floats and what sinks"

For this game, select items made from different materials (wood, metal, glass, fabric, foam, etc.). Let the little one see for himself that the “buoyancy” of toys depends on what material they are made of.

"Water in a sieve"

Try pouring water with your baby using a colander or sieve. Explain that water will leak out of dishes with holes.
