The games, tasks and exercises presented in this material are a great way to help a child develop memory, attention, logical thinking, imagination, fine motor skills, solve a number of speech problems, such as enriching and activating the vocabulary, working on the lexical meaning of a word, forming grammatical structure of speech, education of speech culture.
A variety of tasks will make classes interesting, educational and entertaining. 4-5 tasks are enough to conduct one short lesson with a child 3-5 years old. Look at the pictures with your child, draw his attention to the details, read the questions and give him the opportunity to think about the answer himself. It is enough to offer a three-year-old child 2 tasks. If your baby has just turned 3 years old, then do not insist that the child complete everything completely, help him with coloring. You can return to the pages of this book many times. Repetition is the mother of learning. Do not force your child to study forcibly, because at this age it is not so much specific knowledge that is important, but rather the cultivation of a sustainable interest in the learning process. If something isn’t working out for your child right now, don’t be upset, give your child time.
To reinforce the material, you can play with your baby and perform similar tasks using real objects. Help your child take a closer look at the phenomena that he constantly encounters in everyday life. When walking with your baby, draw his attention to the objects that he saw on the pages of the book. It will be good if you let him touch them so that he recognizes them by touch.
Try to teach your child to give answers in complete sentences. Speaking out your thoughts develops the child’s speech and memory. At the same time, by coloring the answer picture, the baby remembers the visual image of the object and, in addition, by developing fine motor skills, prepares his hand for writing.
Remember that the better your child learns to think, compare, think logically and clearly express his opinion, the easier it will be for him to study at school. The development of a preschool child largely depends on what conditions are created for him by adults. Take on the main role in this process - and such an activity will bring great benefits to the child and bring you joy.
These materials will be useful to caring parents, kindergarten teachers, tutors and all those who work with children 3-5 years old.
We wish you success!

There are a huge number of developmental methods for children; Glen Doman's theory is the most famous of them. You can find out about the essence of the technique, its advantages and disadvantages, and also download Doman’s cards (conveniently divided into categories) on this page.
The essence of Glen Doman's technique
From birth, the human brain is tuned to understand the world around us by all possible means. Using this feature, you can carry out successful previous training (note that we are talking about training, not development!). It is recommended to start exercises from 3-6 months of age. Doman's method allows you to lay the foundations for the development of a high level of intelligence, form a strong thirst for knowledge, teach incredibly early reading in your native and foreign languages, and mathematics. This is what the author of the method says.
Training cards were specially developed for the technique. They contain an image of an object and an inscription-word denoting it. Presented in the form of sets united by a common theme. For example: “Flowers”, “Fruits”, etc. You can download such Doman cards by going through the sections of this page.
During their development, numerous nuances of perception and attention of young children were taken into account, which directly affects the efficiency of work. In this section, cards made strictly in accordance with Doman principles are available for free download. Each of them shows only one object on a pure white background, they are large in size, without frames or colored borders, all the important details are clearly visible in the picture. All items have their own name. It is written under their image in large, bright red font.
Just download Doman cards, print them and give them to your child? No, parents will need serious organization and, over time, a huge imagination on how to catch, arrange and eventually show these cards to the child. The problem with the interest of an ordinary, healthy child in the process is the complexity of the technique. In addition, there are certain rules. It is necessary to start the exercise when both the baby and the adult are in a good mood. It’s definitely worth saying: “Now I’ll show you...(birds, trees, etc.” After this, start showing. It is recommended to demonstrate each card for 1-2 seconds. At the same time, the adult pronounces loudly and clearly, in a calm voice, the word written under with a picture. The number of cards can be from 10 to 120, depending on the child’s interest. Important points:
- You cannot look into the card when demonstrating it, so as not to interfere with the child’s viewing of the image.
- Classes are initially held once a day, then their number is increased.
- One card should not be shown more than 3 times per day.
- There is no need to require the child to repeat names unless he wants to do it himself.
- It's better to stop playing before your baby loses interest.
- Gradually, you need to add new sets, and remove well-studied ones.
- Displays must be systematic; only in this case can results be achieved.

Topic: Pets
2. "Professions". Print pictures depicting people of various professions: cook, ship captain, driver, salesman, teacher, gardener, doctor, judge, fireman and others. In order for the baby to look for generalizing properties and name them, it is necessary to prepare separate objects (or pictures): a ladle, a pointer, a steering wheel, a mantle, a hose and others. The child chooses a picture with a person’s profession and looks for a suitable item for him.
3. "Spring". At 4 years old, the baby already knows the basic colors and shapes, so to continue the development of this topic, you can organize a game with “Fruto-nanny” baby food lids. The caps fit together perfectly and come in a variety of colors. Connecting them together is quite simple to create interesting objects. On a landscape sheet you can draw a circle, square, flower, cloud. From the lids, collect shapes of the same shape so that you can attach them to a sheet of paper.
Games to develop attention in children 4-5 years old

Math cycle tasks

Educational tasks with words
1. On the sheet in the center are written words in block letters: sea, flower, sun, snail. Match the word and the picture, draw a line.
2. Different words are written on the sheet: mom, cat, dog, dad, summer, spring, tree, flower. You need to cross out the letter A in the words. The baby learns perseverance and attentiveness.
3. Circles and triangles are drawn on a landscape sheet. The child is given the task to draw the letter M in each circle, and the letter C in each triangle.
4. “On the contrary.” An adult names any word, and the child must find the opposite meaning. For example: an adult says “hot”, a child answers “cold”, etc.
5. “A kind word.” Name the object, and the baby chooses an affectionate word to designate it. For example: ball - ball, house - house, leg - leg.
6. "Fruits and vegetables." Place various pictures of fruits and vegetables in front of the child. There are many options for games: ask the young student to put fruits in a basket. Ask to choose the vegetables from which mom makes a salad for lunch.
7. “Find the odd one out.” Tell your child a set of words in which the words belong to the same group, but one word is superfluous. The child must identify the odd one by ear. For example: tree, grass, flower, snail. The extra word is snail. The child must give an explanation of why this particular word is superfluous.
Tasks for the development of creative thinking
1. Create your own magazine or book. To complete this task you will need colored paper, clippings from various glossy magazines, colored cardboard, glue, and tape. Words for the book can also be cut out from magazines. It turns out to be a joint work.
2. Theater. Offer to perform a real puppet show. Make costumes, select props, prepare invitations for household members. You can choose any Russian folk tale and involve older brothers and sisters.
3. “An interesting continuation.” The task is useful for children 5 years old, as it teaches them to construct sentences, think logically and develop thinking. You should come up with a story on a specific topic. The adult says the first sentence, the child continues the next sentence. Then the adult comes up with a sentence again. The text should be coherent. In conclusion, we ask the child to retell.
Tasks for children 4-5 years old should be comprehensive and develop logic, thinking, speech, and fine motor skills. Thematic lessons can be adapted to the age characteristics of children, diversified with games and taught to compare, analyze, and think in a fun way. If you work with your child daily, he will enjoy learning the basics of math, reading, and other subjects.
