Assignment on the topic of space for the senior group. Fun game for preschoolers "space travel"

Today we invite you to conduct a thematic lesson dedicated to Cosmonautics Day. This will not be an ordinary activity, but a real journey into Space.

Space has always attracted people. In ancient times, people watched the stars. With the development of science, more and more opportunities to study space began to appear. But still a lot remains a mystery.

On April 12, our country celebrates a holiday - Cosmonautics Day. It was on this day in 1961 that cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin set off on the Vostok 1 spacecraft. He flew around planet Earth, the planet on which we live. At the time this was a huge achievement. Since then, many spaceships have been in space. Every year people discover new opportunities to explore space.

Thematic lesson on Space

He is an example for all the guys. They call him a hero. An astronaut wears this title proudly. To become an astronaut - You have to work hard: Start the day with exercise, Study well!

Invite your child to look at the sky. Ask what he sees. Perhaps you will see a blue sky, or perhaps clouds or even stars. Ask if he knows what's behind those clouds? What will we see if we rise higher, higher than planes fly?

Tell your child: “In fact, behind the clouds there is a huge wonderful world called “space.” It's very interesting to explore. It's very beautiful there. Many boys and girls dream of flying there. Do you want to go on a space journey?

1. Physical education minute

Tell your child that in order to become a real astronaut, you need to be healthy and train a lot, because flying into space is not an easy job. You need to be strong and resilient. That's why all astronauts do exercises every day.

Let's stand straight, legs wider, arms up, stay straight. Now let's do the bends. Bend over, don't be shy. And now another jump, One, two, three, come on, my friend. We walk on our toes, We walk on our heels. Let's check your posture and bring your shoulder blades together. Let's stomp our feet, clap our hands. 2. Game “I want to become an astronaut”

We did exercises and prepared for space travel. But what else do we need to go into space? Of course we need a spacesuit!

I want to become an astronaut! (hands up)

I put on a spacesuit (touch my fingertips and rise up)

I'll fly on a rocket (stretch your arms and connect them above your head)

And I will open all the planets (make a big circle with your hands)

Try making a spacesuit from what you have at home. Imagine with your child.

Or use the master class from.

3. Game “Building a Rocket”

Now we are completely ready for our space journey. But what will we fly on?

From the Earth it flies up into the clouds like a silvery arrow. Flies to other planets Swiftly.... (rocket)

That's right, astronauts fly into space on a rocket. Where is this rocket located? Where does it take off from?

The launch of the rocket takes place at the cosmodrome - this is a special place from where rockets take off. Let's make our own cosmodrome and build a rocket.

Make a “rocket” out of chairs. You can include space music as musical accompaniment. Think about what an astronaut needs to take with him on a rocket.

Do you need, for example, pillows, blankets, spoons, forks? Invite your child to take what they might need. And in the following tasks we will analyze whether these items are really necessary for an astronaut.

Fast rockets are waiting for us to fly to the planets. Whichever one we want – We’ll fly to that one! 4. Riddles about Space So our rocket flew “UUUUU!”

Look at the people waving below. How quickly we fly up. Hold on tight! We have a long flight ahead of us. While we're flying, let's discuss what we'll see in space. I will ask riddles, and you guess.

At night, look out the window -

High in the sky We light up like the sun, Very far away. (Stars)

These stars are like sparks

They fall and go out quickly.

Light up in the middle of the night

There's a shower of stars in the sky,

Like these lights

Painted by an artist. (Meteorites)

I'm flying around the Earth

I reflect the signal down

So that the audience can

Receive TV channel. (Satellite)

There are no wings, but this bird

Will fly in and land on the moon (lunar rover)

Wonder bird, scarlet tail,

Arrived in a flock of stars.

Our people built this

Interplanetary... (rocket).

5. Game "Zero Gravity" Here we are in space. But look, what is this?

Get up from your chairs and move around freely throughout the space.

Explain to your child that this phenomenon is called “weightlessness.” In Space, a person ceases to be affected by the forces that act on planet Earth. On Earth we stand very firmly on our feet, because the Earth attracts us. But in space there is no force of gravity, so astronauts cannot stand on their feet, they seem to “float” in the air.

Now look at what items you took with you on your space journey. And tell your child that you can’t eat with a spoon and fork in space. You can’t put food on regular plates either, because it will scatter all over the ship. That's why astronauts take food in special tubes, similar to toothpaste.

You won’t be able to sleep on the pillows either, they will simply fly away from under your head. There are no ordinary beds in space either. Astronauts sleep in special sleeping bags that are attached to the walls of the ship.

6. Game “Exploring the Planets”

We will need a telescope - a spyglass, which can be made from paper towel base.

And pre-cut circles from colored paper (planets of the solar system).

- yellow circle - Sun, - small brown circle - Mercury, - larger pink circle - Venus, - blue circle (slightly larger than Venus) - Earth, - red circle (same size as Venus) - Mars , - gray circle (larger in size than the Earth) - Jupiter, - white circle with a ring (same in size as Jupiter) - Saturn, - blue circle (same in size as the Earth) - Uranus, - purple ( the same size as Uranus) - Neptune,

- a small white circle (the same size as Mercury) - Pluto (according to the latest data, Pluto is no longer considered a planet, so decide for yourself whether to make it or not).

Invite your child to look at space. While he is looking through the telescope, show him circles and tell him about the planets.

Say that all the planets in the solar system revolve around the sun. And show the sun (yellow circle).

All planets are different colors and different sizes. Show the planets and read the poem: In order, all the planets can be named by any of us: One - Mercury, Two - Venus, Three - Earth, Four - Mars. Five - Jupiter, Six - Saturn, Seven - Uranus, followed by Neptune. He is the eighth in a row. And behind it, then, is the ninth planet called Pluto. 7. Making an application “Planets of the solar system”

We will need: black colored paper, white gouache, brush, pre-cut circles from colored paper.

Invite your child to now make his own applique, which will depict all the planets.

Glue the Sun first and then glue the planets in order. Tell us about each planet:

Mercury

This smallest planet is closest to the Sun. At the same time, almost all the time it turns to the Sun with one side. Therefore, on one side of Mercury it is very hot, and on the other it is very cold.

There is no air at all on Venus. It is very, very hot on its surface. There are no plants or animals on this planet.

This is the planet we live on. Animals, people, fish live here. There is a huge amount of oxygen here that we breathe.

Red little planet. There is very little oxygen and almost no water, although scientists suggest that Mars once had a lot of water. This is one of the mysteries of this planet.

The largest planet in the solar system. Storms and whirlwind winds constantly occur on its surface, and the planet itself, despite its size, rotates very quickly around its axis.

A beautiful and unusual planet, sixth from the Sun. Its amazing feature, which can be seen from Earth through a telescope, is the ring around the planet. The ring looks like a disk, only in reality it is not a solid disk, but thousands, thousands of small stones, asteroid fragments and dust.

Uranus has an unusual blue color and looks like a round ball with a smooth surface.

The icy, very cold planet is located very far from the Sun, so the sun's rays almost do not reach the surface of this planet.

It is the farthest planet from the sun and the smallest in size.

Now take a brush and white paint and paint the stars.

8. Cartoon

At the end of the lesson, watch the cartoon about Space “Why: What kind of planets are there?”

We wish you a pleasant space journey!

If you liked the space trip, then we invite you to another one, together with the girl Dasha.

If your child is interested in the topic of space, then I suggest holding a themed week about space. TN "Cosmos" and others notes for thematic weeks.

Verbal and didactic games on the lexical topic “Space” for kindergarten

Game "Find a Pair"

"Describe the rocket"

Children are given one set of rockets and asked to remember the details of the rocket; after a while, the teacher asks them to turn over the cards. The child must describe his rocket from memory.

"The fourth is odd!"

"Most most…"

"Many stars in the sky"

Children take one star at a time and make up a sentence based on the teacher’s model, spreading it with their own epithet. (I have one bright star, and there are many bright stars in the sky.)

"Pick up a word"

The children each have one star and the teacher asks them to choose a related word for the word “star”. If children find it difficult, guiding phrases are allowed:
a person who counts stars is an astrologer,
A spaceship flying to the stars - a starship,
A cluster of stars in the sky - a constellation,
The moment when the stars “fall” - starfall,
A sky with many stars? - starry,
a sky with no stars? - starless
There is a big star, and there is a small star.
The presented games can be used in class or in your free time to reinforce the material you have learned.

In April, the whole country celebrates Cosmonautics Day and teachers try to select various visual materials for children, presentations about space and much more. This time, for Cosmonautics Week, I prepared not only the presentations “What people fly into space on,” but also developed educational games on the topic “Space.”

Educational games on the theme “Space” for older preschoolers

Game "Rocket Scientists"

The educational game “Rocket Scientists,” aimed at developing analytical thinking, the ability to plan activities and foresee the results of one’s work, was useful to me in one of my classes, and later became a favorite among children.

In the introductory part of the lesson, the children were presented with a problem situation: how to get to the moon?
Of course, fly on a rocket. Where can I get a rocket? Build. Cards were placed face down on the table and the children were asked to choose any of them and divide into groups. Each group had to agree and lay out the sequence of the structure of their rocket from cards.

Game "Remember where the rocket is"

The children liked the previous game so much that they had to come up with something new. I began to think about what games on this topic would be interesting for children. And since modern upbringing and education is based on the development of a child’s cognitive abilities and psyche, I took as a basis the well-known educational game “Fly” and gave it a cosmic twist.

Now the child needs to look carefully at the picture (no more than 5-7 seconds) and remember in which square the rocket is located. I offer you cards of varying complexity, empty tables on which the child will lay out what he remembers, and a set of pictures that are necessary in order to create his own tasks.

Such a fun game promotes the development of short-term memory, improves the child’s perception and develops concentration. Give it a try. I'm sure this game will become one of your guys' favorites.

You will also be interested in watching the Space Theme Week in the senior group. Educational games on the theme “Space” will also be interesting for children in the preparatory group. They can be planned within
