Using games in English classes with preschoolers in kindergarten


Description: This development is intended for English language teachers working with preschool children. This material can be used by teachers in English classes in kindergarten.
Introduction
Play, as we know, is the main activity of a preschool child. It serves as a kind of common language for all the children. Using games as one of the methods of teaching a foreign language greatly facilitates the learning process, making it closer and more accessible to children.
At every minute of the lesson, it is necessary to maintain children’s interest, to evoke joy, delight, and admiration through outdoor games, toys, and magical transformations.
The game is suitable for any type of lesson and type of learning, allows you to optimize the process of memorizing educational material, creates a genuine communication situation, and contributes to the development of children's communicative competence.
The game is not an end in itself, but is used in combination with other learning technologies.
Practice shows a positive impact on the educational process of all types of games: didactic, active, creative. Each game performs its own function, contributing to the accumulation of language material in the child, consolidation of previously acquired knowledge, and the formation of speech skills. Games are one of the methods of health-saving technologies.
Games are used for various purposes:
when introducing and consolidating knowledge of vocabulary and models of a foreign language;
for the formation of skills and abilities of oral speech;
as a form of independent communication for children in a foreign language.
Practice shows that the formation of communication skills in preschoolers through learning English in the form of games contributes to the development of the ability to cooperate with each other, actively listen, develop auditory perception, and obey rules

1. Gaming activities as the main component of English classes
“When a child plays, he always strives to go forward, not backward. In games, children seem to do everything together: their subconscious, their mind, their imagination “work” synchronously.”
(A.N. Simonova)

I, like every teacher, want my children to successfully learn English and engage in classes with interest and desire. Parents of children are also interested in this.
And I set myself a goal - to promote the formation of cognitive interest in preschoolers in English classes by using game methods as a means of activating cognitive activity in English classes.
In preschool age, the leading activity is play, in which the child learns about the world around him. Using gaming technologies in English classes, you can achieve several goals at once:
expand and consolidate the studied lexical and grammatical material;
develop children's speech skills;
develop memory, attention, intelligence, imagination of children;
create an atmosphere of search and creativity in the classroom;
develop creative activity, initiative, creativity of children;
teach cooperation in diverse groups;
relieve emotional stress and monotony.
The game builds a strong interest in further learning the English language, as well as confidence in successfully mastering it. But I would like to note that the game has not only motivational functions.
A game is a type of social practice, an effective reproduction of life phenomena outside of a real practical setting. Game activities in English classes not only organize the communication process, but also bring it as close as possible to natural communication. The task of the teacher, according to the statement of Anatole France, is “to awaken the curiosity of children in order to satisfy it in the future.”
Games must correspond to the level of preparation of children and be necessary for completing certain lexical material. With the help of the game, pronunciation is well practiced, lexical material is activated, and listening and speaking skills are developed. With its help you can relieve psychological fatigue; it can be used to mobilize the mental efforts of children, to develop their organizational skills, instill self-discipline skills, and create an atmosphere of joy in the classroom.
The use of game moments in the classroom helps to activate the cognitive and creative activity of preschoolers, develops their thinking, memory, fosters initiative, and allows them to overcome boredom in teaching a foreign language. Games develop intelligence and attention, enrich the language and consolidate children's vocabulary, and focus attention on the nuances of their meaning. A game can make a child remember what he has learned and expand his knowledge.
At the beginning of the lesson, I conduct phonetic games “Tongue on a walk”, “Pass the sound”, “Breeze”, “Last sound”, “Sound”, “Words” or role-playing - when a guest comes to class and the children get to know him, using previously studied speech patterns “Hello! How are you?
In the middle of the lesson I also use a selection of games that are appropriate to the theme of the lesson and the age of the children. There can be any games here - didactic and role-playing, active, business, etc.
Phonetic games occupy a large place in the collection of games. And the first place here is given to fairy tales-exercises on articulatory gymnastics. Everyone has one of these in their piggy bank, or even more than one. The heroes of such fairy tales are Tongue, Bee, Snake, Breeze and simply magical animals. What these fairy tales have in common is that they are all excellent helpers for practicing the pronunciation of difficult sounds, and their undeniable advantages are the ability to compose a fairy tale based on the characteristics of the group as a whole and taking into account the individual characteristics of children, as well as the ability to take into account the urgent needs of learning. Gradually, the role of the storyteller can be transferred to those children who are better at difficult sounds, and an element of competition can be included.

Conclusion

The educational goal of the “Entertaining English” program for preschool age is to teach children the basics of English phonetics, initial English speaking skills for solving basic communicative problems in English within the framework of the topics proposed by the program. Games provide great assistance in achieving this goal. Their use gives good results, increases the children’s interest in the lesson, and allows them to concentrate their attention on the main thing - mastering speech skills in the process of a natural situation, communication during the game.
The use of playful moments in English classes helps to enhance the cognitive and creative activity of children, develops their thinking, memory, fosters initiative, and allows them to overcome boredom in learning a foreign language. Games develop intelligence and attention, enrich the language and strengthen the vocabulary of preschoolers, and focus attention on the nuances of their meaning. A game can make a child remember what he has learned and expand his knowledge.
The game is characterized by an atmosphere of enthusiasm and joy, a feeling of the feasibility of tasks - all this helps children overcome the shyness that prevents them from freely using words in a foreign language in speech, and has a beneficial effect on learning outcomes. At the same time, it is easier to assimilate language material - and at the same time a feeling of satisfaction arises - “it turns out that I can already speak on an equal basis with everyone else.”
For the teacher, the main thing to remember is that the game is only an element of the lesson, and it should serve to achieve the didactic goals of the lesson. Therefore, it is necessary to know exactly what skill or abilities are being trained in this game, what the child did not know how to do before the game and what he learned during the game.

Psychologists have long confirmed that children, regardless of their age, get tired much more from the monotony and monotony of performing a number of identical tasks than from these tasks themselves. Outdoor games can help add much-needed variety to an English lesson.

In the warm season, it is convenient to spend them outside, and in cold weather, you can use them to organize fun physical education sessions indoors. Outdoor games in English can be divided into actual games and song games.

Among the most popular outdoor games are the following:

  • Simon Says
  • Letters and Numbers
  • Sea-Ground
  • Eatable-Uneatable
  • Hide and Seek

Game Simon Says

In such a game, the number of participants must be at least three people. One of the children plays the role of Simon and speaks out loud simple instructions in English: Touch your nose, Touch your ears, Jump in the air. For those children who are familiar with colors in English, you can use the commands Touch something red, Touch something green, etc.
The whole point of the game is that children must follow only those commands from the leader that are preceded by the phrase Simon Says. For example, Simon says... touch your left ear, Simon says... touch something black in the room.
If this phrase is not heard, the command cannot be executed. Gradually, those who were not too attentive drop out of the game, and the winner takes Simon's place.
Of course, first of all, this game is aimed at developing the child’s attention. However, such a fun form allows you to provide children with a little physical activity and cheer them up. In addition, the game Simon Says is very useful for reinforcing the necessary vocabulary in a convenient and unobtrusive form.

Letters and Numbers

This game is well suited even for those children who are just starting to learn English and are familiar only with letters and numbers. However, this game is not designed for a large number of participants - maximum 4-5.
Circles are drawn with chalk on the floor or asphalt, in which you need to place a letter or number. After this, the presenter calls one of these letters or numbers, and the participants look for it on the ground and try to stand in a circle.

Thanks to this game, children will run around and remember well the names and graphic images corresponding to a particular letter or number.

Sea-Ground

On the ground or on the floor in the classroom, a large circle is drawn with chalk, the middle of which will be the Sea, and the entire space outside will be the Ground. When the leader says the word Sea, all children must jump into the center of the circle. When the word Ground is called, children must jump out of the circle. If there are quite a lot of children, you can invite them to have a competition - the fastest one. And the one who jumps out of the circle last becomes the leader.
This is not to say that children will learn many new English words and expressions in this game. But the game Sea-Ground will give them a lot of joyful emotions and will enliven any lesson, even a rather drawn-out one.

Eatable-Uneatable (Edible-Inedible)

To play this game you will need a ball, it is best to use a bright and fairly noticeable one. The presenter must throw the ball to the participants and at the same time call out various words in English. If the named concept refers to food and turns out to be edible, then the child should try to catch the ball, say Eatable and throw it back. If the word corresponds to something inedible, then the child needs to throw the ball away and say Uneatable.
For example, the presenter throws a ball to one of the children and says in English the name of some fruit, say, Apple. The child catches the ball and says Eatable. Otherwise, the presenter says Table out loud, and the child, of course, throws the ball away and says Uneatable.
With the help of such a game, you can perfectly repeat a variety of words in English - both on individual topics and on any learned vocabulary.

Hide and Seek

This game, known all over the world, will help children learn some common English words. Also, with its help you can have a great time outdoors and have a lot of fun for your little students. One of the children who will drive closes his eyes and begins to recite a counting rhyme in English.

On a note

There is nothing special in the words of this popular counting rhyme, however, it will allow you to repeat such important combinations as look for, whatever the weather, as well as numbers from one to five.

Hide and seek we play together.

Hide and seek, whatever the weather.

One, two, three, four, five

I'll look for you and find.

At this time, all the other children run away and hide.

After pronouncing the words of the counting rhyme, the leader tries to find all the children. And they, in turn, try to run to the designated place and be the first to say the words Tap, tap on me.

Games based on songs

If ordinary outdoor games are mainly designed for children who have been studying English for some time, then games based on songs are suitable even for those who have just begun to master the language. All that is required of the children is simply to repeat the necessary movements following the words of the song.

  • Head and Shoulders.
    The simple words of this song will help to firmly cement the names of body parts in the child’s memory.

    After making sure that the children have learned the song well, teachers or parents can play a game with them without the song - name some part of the body out loud, while the children should touch it with their hands. Or, on the contrary, an adult touches some part of the body with his hands, and the child names it out loud, repeating the movement.

  • We're going on a bear hunt.
    An excellent game option for learning not only individual English words, but also the whole system of prepositions: over, under, through. True, this active game will require some charisma from the teacher, because all its movements must be performed with expressive facial expressions and gestures. The video below shows a version of this song with subtitles.
