Children really like to solve riddles. About transport today there are many short poems, in which in an allegorical form are described trams, buses, metro. Before the child the task is set - correctly to name the ciphered object.
Before you offer this exciting activity to children, you should hold a conversation. Kids need to understand that transportation can be air, water, land and underground.
Also, they should be taught how to differentiate the types of vehicles by their functionality. Freight transport carries cargo, the public - a large number of people and goes on a certain route.
A separate category is personal transport. This group includes cars, motorcycles, motor scooters, ATVs and others.
During the conversation, children should be offeredconsider pictures and photos with different types of vehicles. Then play the game "What is it called?", When the kids determine the transport through the photo. And after all this, you can offer the children riddles about transport.
It should be noted that this type of activitydevelops and trains the logic of children. Also puzzles expand their horizons and enrich the vocabulary. But the main thing is that they develop imaginative thinking, they learn to see the general in absolutely different subjects, compare signs and mark the main ones.
For example, in the riddle about the engine roar of the enginecompared with the growling of a lion, the power of the engine - with horsepower. But the main signs that distinguish the truck from all other modes of transport - is the presence of the body in which the cargo is transported.
I have a big cabin,
And more power than a horse!
It growls like a lion, my powerful motor,
A body for cargo? Such a place there!
In addition to all known trucks and carsthere are other means of transportation. Urban children from early childhood are familiar with many forms of public transport. But babies living in rural areas can be difficult to navigate in it. And they need to clarify that in cities there is transport, which moves by electricity. This metro, trams and trolley. They necessarily need wires through which the current flows to the working mechanism. But they do not need gasoline and diesel fuel.
Metro differs from all modes of transport,working from electricity, in that it is the greater part of it under the earth. But the functional difference between trams and trolleybuses is that the latter does not require rails at all. It is these features that reflect the riddles about transportation that young children offer.
Guessing puzzles about transport to kids, adults should use thematic pictures. And here it is worth remembering about the trolleybus.
On the rails - on the road
Goes - rolls the house two-horned.
Hold on to the wires
The house is always with horns.
I'm not afraid to ride in it -
With a breeze ride!
Thinking of riddles about transport for children, it is necessary to reflect in them the main differences of this type of vehicle.
For example, a tram from all other land transport is different in that it needs rails and wires.
On the rails rushes on the wheels of the house
But only no one lives in the house tom.
It is important for everyone! He has a concern:
On it people go to kindergarten, to work.
With his horns he holds on to the wires
And he drives people to and fro.
The most modern form of publictransport is underground. Metro is not in every city. Therefore, before making a riddle about it, it is necessary to conduct preparatory work. It is necessary to tell the children why people build a subway under the ground, why trains need rails.
But if the authors create riddles about transportation forchildren of 3 years, they often resort to such obviously advantageous variant, as the rhymed answer. Even if the kids do not know exactly the answer, the verses themselves will give a hint.
It is cozy and warm,
Here it's always, always light!
There is no snow, no rain -
Just a paradise for all people!
The whole city is under the earth!
Will take you to the area of any
Train passengers in a moment -
The path is free and at rush hour.
We will tell a lot about
Our station ...
The answer suggests itself, because he rhymes with the penultimate line of the poem. Of course, we are talking about the subway!
Every adult knows that the best way is for children to learn new things through a fairy tale and a game. The puzzle just combines in itself both that, and another. That's why it is indispensable in the development of children.
