In Russian kindergartens today, classes are often held according to the Voskobovich method. Developing games are being actively introduced into the preschool education program and are even recommended for use in preschool educational institutions. Such activities in a playful way develop the child's creative potential, mental processes and sensory skills, offer children an exciting journey into the world of educational fairy tales. Judging by the reviews, the technique is very effective.

Author info

Voskobovich's method in kindergarten is used for the comprehensive development of children's creative abilities. Children who study according to the methodology perform mathematical operations faster than their peers, start reading early, are able to perform creative activities and think logically, can concentrate and have a good memory.

The author of the methodology, Vyacheslav Voskobovich, had nothing to do with psychology and pedagogy for many years. ByHe specializes in engineering physics. In addition to physics, Voskobovich was fond of music, wrote songs for children and adults, and was not indifferent to poetry. His own children pushed him to create the technique. In the early nineties, it was very problematic to acquire high-quality games for the development of logic, thinking, memory and educational materials. Then Vyacheslav Voskobovich independently developed a series of games and successfully adapted it.

Developing games are universal aids that can be used repeatedly with equal success. In the future, several games were used to develop a whole teaching methodology aimed at the comprehensive development of the child. At the moment, you can get acquainted with more than fifty games and a large number of educational aids. Author's seminars by Vyacheslav Voskobovich are regularly held in Russia and neighboring countries, and in kindergartens the methodology is actively introduced into the process of learning and development.

Description of Voskobovich's approach

The author is sure that teaching a child should be relaxed and fun, so one of the principles of Voskobovich's methodology is the use of interesting fairy tales. Each game is accompanied by a fascinating story that helps you quickly remember shapes, letters, numbers or other information. The child helps the characters by doing different exercises and tasks according to the story. Such methodological developments are a godsend for parents without special (pedagogical or psychological) education, because, based on the plot of a fairy tale, you can play with your child and complete creative tasks.

But games should be useful. Educational games are multifunctional: in a playful way, you can teach reading, counting, writing, develop logic, memory, thinking and mental processes. Thus, the value lies in the ability of the game to educate and comprehensively develop the child. The development of creativity is also essential. Fairy tales and games according to the Voskobovich method ("Wonder-crosses", "Geocont", "Plyukh-Plyukh" boat and others) help to develop fantasy, imagination and creativity. Non-traditional tasks of varying complexity form earlier creative thinking in children.

Specificity of educational games

The technique is suitable for classes with children from two years old. According to reviews, older children are happy to work on benefits. Each task can begin with elementary manipulation with individual elements and end with the solution of increasingly complex problems. Games necessarily take into account the interests of the child that are relevant to the age. In addition, during the game process, children make new discoveries and get satisfaction (in the emotional sense) from independently completed tasks. Game material is diverse, rich, multifaceted and multifunctional.

Most of the games according to the Voskobovich method in kindergarten or at home are accompanied by teaching aids and illustrated stories in which you need to complete tasks according to the plot or answer the questions posed. The heroes of the fairy tale help the child learn the basics of mathematics or reading, teach mutual understanding and constructive communication. It is important that children do not get tired quickly, because they have the opportunity to independently choose the load and pace, switch from one task to another.

It is especially important that the use of the Voskobovich technique in kindergarten (for beginners, the technique is easy to learn, in extreme cases, you can sign up for the author's seminar and even personally ask questions of interest) does not require restructuring the work of the institution or changing the usual way of life at home. The relationship of an adult child is partnership, that is, the position of an adult is not assumed to be higher. The child is surrounded by a relaxed, but developing intellectual and creative atmosphere. By supporting creative undertakings, a feeling of inner looseness arises, and the child does not receive a negative assessment from adults, so he feels external security.

Developing games according to the method

All games according to the method of Voskobovich (a description of the individual ones is given below) can be conditionally divided into several types. Most of them develop logical and mathematical abilities (ship "Plyukh-Plyukh", constructor "Geokont", "Voskobovich's Square", "Tsifrotsirk" and others), teach reading ("Constructor of letters", "Reader on balls", "Voskobovich's towers ", "Snowman"). Games are accompanied by methodical books with tasks, fairy tales, illustrations and questions. Kind heroes (the cunning but rustic All, the wise raven Meter, the funny Magnolik, the brave Geo) accompany the child, they teach not only mathematics andreading, but also human relationships.

Geocont construction game

The constructor is presented in the form of a plank with carnations arranged in a certain sequence. A set of colored rubber bands and a manual containing tasks of different levels of difficulty are attached to the playing field. Children do not just complete boring tasks, but go on a real journey with Geo and help him overcome various obstacles in the Purple Forest by constructing geometric shapes. The description of Voskobovich's technique (attached to the game) offers diagrams of drawings that should be obtained in the end. The game "Geocont" introduces children to the world of geometry, helps to study colors, shapes and sizes, teaches to model, add according to the model, think outside the box, look for similarities and differences, develop fine motor skills.

Voskobovich Square

"Square-transformer" consists of thirty-two multi-colored triangles, which are printed on a fabric base and located at a certain distance from each other. The game is designed for the age category from two to five years old (two-color square), and for older children a four-color square is offered. The square can be transformed to create different shapes. You can collect according to the proposed schemes or come up with your own. There are over a hundred options.

Developing game according to the method of Voskobovich is accompanied by a fascinating fairy tale "The Secret of the Crow Meter" and teaching aids. Fairy tale characters will help the child solve tasks: dadRectangle, grandfather Quadrilateral, baby Square and others. The game forms abstract thinking and the ability to navigate in space, instills modeling skills, develops perseverance, memory and attention, and creativity.

Puzzle "Wonder Ticks"

Voskobovich's technique and game is a multifunctional tool for developing mathematical abilities. The game is represented by a frame with different inserts that differ from each other in color and shape. All figures are divided into parts. First, the child is asked to assemble the fragments into a single whole, and as the first successes appear, the tasks become more difficult. For example, you can offer to collect various images of objects. For clarity, the kit includes an album of figures. "Miracle crosses" form the concept of the whole and the part in the child, help to master shapes and colors, develop the ability to analyze and compare. During the game, the child learns to use schemes to solve certain problems.

Splash-Plush Ship

In the process of playing with a bright boat with sails that can be worn on wooden yards, tactile sensations and fine motor skills develop. Numbers from one to five are applied to the base of the toy. You need to attach a certain number of flags to the mast, having previously sorted them by size and color. While playing with the ship, the child will meet the sailor Frog and Captain Goose, who will tell about their exciting adventures. This multifunctional game, which is used as part of the development of the Voskobovich method, introduces the child to different colors and formsbasic math skills. In addition, in the process, skills are formed to sort items, taking into account their color and quantity.

Math Baskets

"Math baskets" will help to consolidate counting skills, explain the composition of numbers, teach how to perform simple mathematical operations and compare with numbers. In addition, fine motor skills develop during the performance of tasks. During the game, the child helps fairy-tale characters put mushrooms in baskets. You need to find out who collected more and who less, how many mushrooms you need to put in order for the basket to be full, and so on. The author's manual describes more than ten different games with "Math Baskets".

Daisy Lacing Game

"Chamomile" will help you compose and read new words, develop fine motor skills, reading skills, intelligence and enrich your vocabulary. With the help of a lace on a dense basis, you can compose about two hundred words. For young children, the material is used simply as lacing for the development of fine motor skills.

Folder Benefit

Colorful teaching aid will introduce the child to consonants and vowels, and will also allow you to master the principle of adding syllables. During the game you will meet many characters, with whom you can learn songs and poems. The game comes with a CD with songs that you can listen to periodically. In the process of classes, various analyzers are involved: auditory, visual and tactile. Benefitimproves memory, develops mindfulness and perseverance.

Voskobovich's towers

A unique learning model is used to prepare for early reading. Judging by the reviews, this is a very interesting technique. "Teremki" enrich vocabulary, develop fine motor skills, creativity and mental processes. In a playful way, the child learns to connect letters into syllables and transform syllables into words. The manual includes twelve multi-colored towers on which sounds are written. Each cube is equipped with an arch or window for vowels. To connect the letters into a syllable, you need to put a certain chest in the corresponding tower and sing the formed syllable. This manual, which is used as part of the training according to the Voskobovich method, is accompanied by detailed instructions with a description of the games.

Magic Gonziki

A fun game develops acting talent, fine motor skills, attention and memory, and can also help memorize the names of all fingers. This is also good psychological help: a child can put on Gonzik and answer questions from an adult not on his own behalf, but on behalf of a fairy-tale character, talk about Gonzik's problems (in fact, the problems of the child himself). There are many games with fairy-tale characters and Voskobovich's technique is good. Gonziki will help memorize rhymes, memorize and repeat actions, develop fine motor skills. The game is suitable for children from two to seven years old.

Carpetograph "Larchik"

A special place in Voskobovich's technique is carpet-drawna unique author's manual, which is free from many of the shortcomings of the school board. The carpet adheres well to the contact tape, which allows you to securely fix the visual material, and the original elements (pockets, ropes, mugs, clips) ensure the dynamism of classes. The manual presents scope for the activities of teachers, suitable for group and individual lessons. Tasks are grouped by age. For each age, the manual provides various tasks for the development of memory, attention, thinking, creativity, there are tasks in mathematics that teach literacy and develop speech.

Carpetograph includes the playing field itself made of carpet (1.2 m x 1.2 m), on which a grid is applied. The kit comes with special clips so that the rug can not only be placed on the floor, but also hung on the wall. There are five multi-colored contact tape, twenty-five Velcro, ten blank multi-colored cards, cards with letters and numbers, ten cardboard cards with funny letters and the same number with interesting numbers-animals.

How to play correctly

Classes according to the Voskobovich method should be carried out only after preliminary preparation. An adult should first familiarize himself with the methodological recommendations, and then offer the child a game. According to reviews, in the process of classes, children are usually concentrated, prefer to do something with their hands and speak little. Therefore, during classes according to the Voskobovich method in kindergarten, it is necessary to ask children,what everyone does, why they chose just such a figure, you can ask them to come up with their own plot or retell a fabulous task.

When working with game materials, the child often stays in the same position for a long time, but such static is not useful. It is necessary to take into account age characteristics and timely distract children from prolonged sitting, take breaks, and perform a warm-up. But at the same time, games require perseverance, which not everyone likes and can afford. Therefore, it is not necessary to exclude the individual approach and characteristics of children. Every ten minutes, you can change activities: do tasks, take a short break, then return to doing tasks.

Pros and cons of the technique

Many children's institutions have quite successfully tested Voskobovich's method of work - this is confirmed by numerous positive reviews. Children usually perform all tasks with interest and great desire. The positive results of the use of author's educational games in the educational process were not long in coming. The disadvantages of the Voskobovich technique can only be called the fact that manuals, games and teaching materials must be purchased in specialized stores. It is impossible to make original games on your own.

Results of use

The use of the Voskobovich technique in kindergarten (for beginners, these can be the simplest games, and later you can move on to a developing environment and complex tasks) and at home contributes to the development of mindfulness, memory, attention, creativity, thinking, observation, develop interestchild to knowledge and research activities. Thus, the harmonious development of the logical and emotional-figurative beginning is ensured, initial knowledge about the world around is formed, fine motor skills develop.

Studies that were conducted in preschool educational institutions working according to the Voskobovich method showed that there are a lot of children in teams with high and very high intelligence (the gradation is as follows: intelligence is below average, average, normal, high, very high and excellent). Feedback from parents is also positive. Children 5-6 years old are able to compare and analyze, concentrate on complex mental operations and bring things to their logical conclusion. Three-year-olds distinguish and name colors, know geometric shapes, can navigate on planes, have no problems with counting, and begin to read earlier. The issue of readiness for school has been resolved. Children who have played enough in preschool age go to school with pleasure and study for the sake of learning itself. As a rule, the guys do it well, motivated and with interest.
