The storm covers the sky with darkness,
Whirling snow whirlwinds:
The way she howls like a beast,
She will cry like a child.
A. Pushkin

The field is sunny and quiet.
The hot day dries the earth.
Buckwheat thought about it.
Barley hung his head.
G. Ladonshchikov

From the midday rays
A stream ran down the mountain,
And the snowdrop is small
I grew up on a thawed patch.
G. Ladonshchikov

Boring picture!
Endless clouds
The rain just keeps pouring down.
Puddles by the porch.

Child development affects all areas of life. The child needs to know letters and numbers, have an idea of ​​various professions, and behave correctly. And first of all, the child must gain an understanding of the world around him. The change of seasons, months and days is a very important concept that is not always easy to explain to a child.

Studying the seasons

Everything is quite simple here. Each season should be drawn, together, which arise when remembering a certain time of the year, play in different seasons. In addition, in each season it is worth carefully studying with your child what is happening in nature, how the weather is changing.

Winter– this, of course, is snow. You can draw snowflakes with different rays, a snowman made from cold snow. On the street you can study real snowflakes, touch white and cold snow, build a snowman, and play snowballs. In addition, the child should be told about various objects and events associated with winter. This - New Year, beautiful tree, bright lights, sledding and skiing.

Spring– is always associated with blossoming leaves. It is worth telling your child that in the spring birds that flew away to warmer regions for the winter return, and that some animals awaken after hibernation. The baby definitely needs to show the hatched buds and touch the young leaves. In the spring, you can sail boats along running streams, look at and remember the birds that sing loudly.

Summer– this is the time for flowers, berries, fruits. During this period, the child will most likely walk outside a lot, whether by the river or the sea. In summer you can draw a lot of bright and beautiful drawings, pick berries in the forest, study different bugs and insects, look at all the flowers that you find in the forest or meadow. The baby will definitely remember this period, because in the summer the weather is great and you can walk for a long time.

Autumn- these are, of course, golden leaves. At this time of year you can collect autumn bouquets from leaves, twigs of rowan or viburnum, you can make very interesting crafts from the gifts of nature (cones, chestnuts, acorns). Of course, you can draw bright leaves and colorful trees. It is necessary to draw the child’s attention to the fact that it gets colder and darker earlier than in summer, and some birds fly south for the winter.

During training, it is important to explain to the child which period will be next and which was the previous one. That is, the baby must understand the sequence of seasons, and, of course, identify the signs of the seasons and be able to talk about them.

Studying the months of the year

This information is more difficult to assimilate, because the concept of months is abstract. You will need a calendar for training. You can also draw your own version of the calendar.

It is necessary to explain to the child that each season lasts three months. Each month should be associated with a specific picture that will help the child get a visual idea of ​​it.

For example, in April the snow melts and streams flow, in September the leaves turn yellow, and in December snow falls. You can draw pictures yourself with your child, this will help to better reinforce the new material.

And in order for the child to remember everything about the months and seasons, you should ask him certain questions. For example, in what month is it cold, when the leaves turn yellow, when the flowers bloom. In addition, during walks, the child should pay attention to what happens every month in nature. The child must understand what happens in a certain month with plants and animals, how the weather changes. Naturally, all this is possible only if the child has a good understanding of the seasons of the year.

Reading “Twelve Months” will help very well. You can also organize home theatrical performances, read poetry and sing songs about different times years and months.

Days of the week

As for the days of the week, it will also be more difficult. And in this case, a calendar is needed. You can play around with each day of the week, tell something interesting about it, or write a short poem.

For example, Monday is the first day of the week, Wednesday is the middle, and Sunday is the day off when everyone gets together. Together with your child, you can come up with something about each day of the week, find out from the child what associations it evokes, and draw a bright picture for each day.

To consolidate knowledge, you should ask the child: what day of the week will be tomorrow, and what was it yesterday. That is, the baby must know the sequence of days.

Excellent help in learning. You can purchase ready-made games or make them yourself. Children always learn easier through play, so while playing, the child will quickly learn the necessary information.

In any case, a child should be taught through play. It doesn’t matter what game you choose, the main thing is that the baby finds it interesting and fun. Then the result will not take long to arrive.

Hello, hello, dear parents!

Our little explorers learn something new every day and want to learn more and more. It's time to introduce them to the seasons. Already at 2-3 years old you can begin to master such acquaintance.

Getting to know the seasons

If your baby doesn’t yet understand what we’re talking about, first introduce him in general terms. Then, when he orients himself better and has mastered the basic material, you will study with him for months.

First, you need to tell us how they differ from each other, what is typical for each time. It is advisable to use didactic or any other cards so that the child can clearly see what the mother is talking about.

First, what characterizes this or that time, what the weather is like, what clothes we wear. Then you can add natural phenomena, games characteristic of this time, holidays. What happens to animals and birds, how trees behave.

Be sure to ask what your child likes to do at this or that time of year; maybe he likes to collect leaves in the fall or go down the slide in winter.

You can give examples of events that happened to your child.

For example, when I told my son about summer, I reminded him of how we went to the sea, how we swam, how he picked raspberries and looked for berries every day, how he played in the sand.

You can show it to your child summer photos. And so with every season.

Be sure to reinforce the material during walks.

Summer is, of course, the most favorite time for children. It is very warm outside and you can run in shorts, sunbathe and swim. What a long day in summer and short night. How a grasshopper chirps in the evening, how mosquitoes bite, how you can ride a bike or play ball.

Winter is, of course, a white, icy kingdom. Tell me about the snow, about beautiful patterns on the glass as you prepared for the New Year. How they made a snowman, what fun things can be played in winter, what animals sleep in winter, what birds come to us for the winter, how frost stings our cheeks. Which warm clothes we have to put it on, like we feed the birds, like we can freeze ice figurines.

Autumn - it rains more often and becomes cooler, the leaves of the trees become multi-colored. Collect beautiful leaves and be sure to make crafts with your child.

Spring - how all living things wake up, how the buds swell and leaves bloom. When you walk, let your child touch the buds and leaves, pay his attention to this. The snow is melting and streams are flowing. You can launch homemade boats and ships. Walk in boots through puddles. Tell us which animals wake up, which ones change their coats, which birds fly in and out.

You can show your child a presentation on the topic of seasons.

What are we playing?

Of course, we will play to make it easier to remember the seasons, so the baby will quickly master the material and learn to distinguish and apply.

We fix the material: Crafts

• Winter forest. The tree trunks are made of white plasticine, preheated on a radiator or in the sun, so that it can be smeared better with a finger.

Poems and tales about the seasons

A fairy tale with movements: mother shows, baby repeats

Spring has come: the trees have grown (we stand straight, arms down)

Branches appeared on them (raise the arms up)

The leaves have blossomed on the branches (we spread our fingers in different directions)

Autumn is coming: the leaves have turned yellow (we bend our fingers and lower our hands a little)

A strong wind blew (we swayed our whole body and blew - ooooooo)

The leaves trembled in the wind (we shake our hands)

And the leaves fell to the ground (we bend over and reach the floor with our hands)

Winter is coming: Snow falls in winter (handles in front of us and waving our hands)

It’s getting cold (we show how cold it is: arms crossed on the chest and shaking)

All children wear hats and fur coats (we depict how we dress them)

And finally spring comes and new trees grow again (we show below how they hatch)

And they grow big - big (we straighten up, stand on tiptoes and raise our arms high above our heads)

Seasons

If the snowstorms are over,
if the birds suddenly started singing,
the forest woke up from sleep,
it means SPRING has come to us.
If the sun is blue,
and flowers bloom in the grass,
if everything is warmed with warmth,
It means SUMMER is coming to us.
If the foliage is yellow,
if the grass is dry,
if the kids go to school,
it means AUTUMN is in the yard.
If it's cold all around,
if the river is under ice,
everything is covered in snow: the ground, houses,
It means WINTER has come to us.
If the house is brightly decorated,
if they give everyone gifts,
if there is a Christmas tree, a round dance -
It's New Year's holiday!

Here he is floating in the spring -
The sound of drops in silence.
He swims at night and during the day,
As nature dictates,
Across the seas that we call
Seasons.

(L. Zavalnyuk)

Months of the year

January

Opening the calendar -
January begins.

The sun is in the blue sky.
The stoves are heated in our house.
Smoke rises into the sky in a column.

The pipes howl loudly.
Like a snake rushes along the ground
Light drifting snow.

Rising, they rush into the distance
Aircraft flights.
It celebrates February
The birth of the army.

The loose snow darkens in March.
The ice on the window is melting.
Bunny running around the desk
And on the map
On the wall.

April

April, April!
Drops are ringing in the yard.

Streams run through the fields,
There are puddles on the roads.
The ants will come out soon
After the winter cold.

A bear sneaks through
Through the dead wood.
The birds began to sing songs,
And the snowdrop blossomed.

May

The lily of the valley bloomed in May
On the holiday itself - on the first day.
Seeing off May with flowers,
The lilac is blooming.

June

June has arrived.
"June! June!" –
Birds are chirping in the garden...
Just blow on a dandelion
And it will all fly apart.

July

Haymaking is in July
Somewhere thunder grumbles sometimes.
And ready to leave the hive
Young bee swarm.

August

We collect in August
Fruit harvest.
Lots of joy for people
After all the work.

Nivami is worth it.
And sunflower grains
Black
Stuffed.

September

Clear September morning
The villages thresh bread,
Birds rush across the seas -
And the school opened.

October

In October, in October
Frequent rain outside.

The grass in the meadows is dead,
The grasshopper fell silent.
Firewood has been prepared
For the winter for stoves.

November

The seventh day of November -
Red calendar day.
Look out your window:
Everything on the street is red.

Flags flutter at the gates,
Blazing with flames.
See, the music is on
Where the trams were.

All the people - both young and old -
Celebrates freedom.
And my red ball flies
Straight to the sky!

December

In December, in December
All trees are in silver.

Our river, like in a fairy tale,
The frost paved the way overnight,
Updated skates, sleds,
I brought a Christmas tree from the forest.

The tree cried at first
From home warmth.
In the morning I stopped crying,
She breathed and came to life.

Its needles tremble a little,
The lights lit up on the branches.
Like a ladder, like a Christmas tree
The lights shoot up.

Firecrackers sparkle with gold.
I lit a star with silver
Reached the top
The bravest light.

Methods for remembering months and seasons of the year

When should a baby start getting acquainted with the outside world? It is best to start a detailed acquaintance with the months when the child starts talking. Now each of your walks becomes not only entertainment, but also an activity. But how to teach a child the months of the year and the names of the seasons is not difficult, start implementing the techniques from this article right now:

The child turned 3 years old. Educational games

There are special nature calendars, “Seasons” lotto and their digital analogues for children. Take 4 identical parts of a sheet, stick a picture on each, which will make it easier for your child to explain the difference between winter and summer. Label the pictures and place each card on an envelope to hold pictures of seasonal clothing, holiday cards, and other images. At five years old, you will replace these pictures with pictures with the names of the months. The top flap of the envelope should be cut off so that the cards are visible from it, and it is easy for the baby to get them with his fingers.

First you need to let your child remember the names of the seasons and what is connected with them. Discuss with him what you can do when there is snow, the sun is shining hot, and it is raining. At the same time, it is better to start learning the alphabet, and you can start mastering the months at 5 years old.

Smoke is coming from the chimney.
Glass is painted.
Let's go sledding.
We are not cold - we are warm.

Summer.

Summer is upon us again!
It became hot and light.
Straight along the paths
Feet run barefoot.

Spring.

A week of March will fly by,
April will ring in drops,
May will come to us with flowers for him,
The sun will flood our city.

Autumn.

If the leaves on the forest have turned yellow,
If the blue birds flew into the blue sky,
If the cloud is gloomy or the rain is pouring,
Everything outside the window is called autumn.

Good films were created back in Soviet times: “Twelve Months”, “Morozko”, “Three Nuts for Cinderella”, the film about spring “Snow Maiden”, which well shows the change of seasons and the melting of snow. Watch them with your child and talk about these moments. Even if your child watched a movie or cartoon himself, discuss with him what he liked most and what upset him, and what he would do. Pay special attention to the details of the seasons.

Child 5-6 years old

By the age of five, your child, as a rule, has already mastered the alphabet, clearly knows the difference between winter and spring, and even expresses his preferences for which season he likes most. Now is the time to explain to him the order in which the months go.

Association games

It's time to take 12 cards out of our envelopes and study them in detail. Ask your child to put the months in order and tell him what he remembers about them, when Christmas or grandma’s name day will be, what clothes people wear in January, when you go on vacation.

Making unusual watches

2. Attach the hands to your clock.
3. Place the arrows in the right place.
4. Every first number, change the direction of the arrow. Of course, it’s better to let the baby do it himself.

Now, seeing all the months at once every day, the child will intuitively remember their location. Draw his attention to the "Clock of the Seasons". “What season of the year is it now? Is it autumn now, September?”

Don't forget about spiritual intimacy

Psychologists say that playing together, communicating, walking, doing crafts, and helping preschoolers in the kitchen and housework form warm memories that will save them throughout life. adult life. While children are small, we don’t just teach them, we lay a strong foundation, deep roots that will not allow them to fall in difficult moments of life.

Don't worry if your child is slow to learn the names of the months and seasons. Arriving at school, he will easily consolidate this skill in the first year. From the age of six, you can start writing the date and month in your copybooks every day. Also, don't limit yourself to our recommendations. Each child is individual and if you decide that at the age of three it will be useful for him to see a clock with seasons, then try it, only you yourself will find the right key for your little one.
