Project of a problem-search situation in a senior group on a geocaching game

"We little guys - we are treasure hunters»

Implementation period: short: 1 Week (October 2016)

Made a plan: Educator

Ryabkova Elmira Vladimirovna

Explanatory note

IN senior At preschool age, the psychophysiological capabilities of children increase, which makes it possible to increase the volume of cognitive material and complicate the requirements for quality and methods of its assimilation.

The problem that players solve in geocaching- this is a search for hiding places, treasures. Educational geocaching is another pedagogical tool in the process of education and development of schoolchildren and preschoolers. Modern technologies allow children to learn in the form of a game, making learning interesting, creative and meaningful for the participants. Fantasy is welcome here. Geocachers welcome hiding places with creative riddles, drawings, photographs. The same applies to the location of caches. They may be very close, or they may require overcoming serious obstacles. To solve the set educational tasks, GCD is carried out in the form of a game. The game has exceptional meaning: a game for children is study, a game for children is work, a game for children is a serious form of education. Games that promote the development of perception, attention, memory, thinking, development creativity, are aimed at the mental development of the preschooler as a whole. Based on extensive practical actions with objects, visual material and conventional symbols, thinking and elements of search activity develop. In GCD, learning is built as exciting problematic-game activity. Such activities create positive, emotional background learning process, increases children's speech activity and maintains interest throughout the entire educational activity. Use in GCD problem-search situations made it possible to concretize and expand ideas, determine the effectiveness of their application and, most importantly, intensify the child’s interest in knowledge. During the ECD, visual, verbal and practical methods were used, aimed at using speech, cognitive, motor, practical skills and abilities and improving them. Throughout the entire NOD, the children were friendly, responsive, and helped each other.

Goal and tasks project

Target project: To bring children joy and pleasure from educational games. Maintain interest in intellectual activity, desire to play, showing persistence, determination, and mutual assistance. Reinforce children's previously acquired knowledge. The goal of the game geocaching, is propaganda healthy image life through sports and educational games, developing useful habits to maintain one’s health and motivating children to exercise physical culture and sports.

During the game geocaching Children not only move actively, improve their physical skills and abilities, but also develop mentally. By participating in the game, children consolidate the knowledge they have already acquired, learn new information that enriches their understanding of the world of people and animals, moral values, about the importance of their health and the health of others, learn the rules of safe behavior. But most importantly, students get joy from communicating with peers and adults.

During geocaching carried out comprehensive solution a whole range of tasks that contribute to the harmonious development of the child. Properly selected thematic outdoor games, logical tasks, exercises, health-saving technologies.

Tasks project: Labyrinths help children develop qualities such as determination, concentration, and stimulate the development of thinking abilities. To develop in children the ability to navigate the terrain using a map - diagram, and determine the direction of the route. To develop children's interest in independently solving cognitive and creative problems. Introduce children to the method of visual modeling (cards- symbols: "one-many", "split the word into parts", "say it the other way around"). Continue to develop children's understanding of concepts "sound", "syllable", "word". Strengthen the ability to select words with opposite meanings.

Materials and methods.

No matter what conditions the game is played in, be it a separate room, the building of the entire kindergarten, a street veranda or playground, its main tasks will: Promote the comprehensive development of children; Development of social and communicative qualities through collective decision common tasks; Encouraging cognitive and research activities through immersion in various gaming situations; Ensuring integration of content from different educational areas (according to the recommendations of the Federal State Educational Standard): social-communicative, cognitive, speech, artistic-aesthetic and physical development; Creating a positive emotional mood. Choosing the plot of the game - geocaching may be dictated by the calendar or project topics, as well as the decision of a specific pedagogical Problems.

Stages project:

1. Writing a script containing educational information

2. Preparation "product" For search (treasure map, treasure, tips)

3. Development of a travel route

4. Preparing props for each task

5. Search treasure

6. Problem solving

7. Going through all stages

8. Finding treasure, surprise moment

9. Photo report

10. Final event (tea party, disco, completing the final task)

11. Long-term plan implementation project.

Expected results

During the game, having received a great emotional charge, children become more relaxed in communication, increase cognitive and speech activity, learn to solve problems together, which leads to unity children's group. Teachers are moving away from the classical form of classes, immersing themselves more and more in mastering gaming technologies. Conclusion and conclusions. Modern requirements for pedagogical process in preschool education, imply close integration of all educational areas, a wide variety of forms of organizing children's activities, relying on the constant cooperation of children and adults as equal partners. And all this finds a wide response in a competently constructed and conducted geocaching game.

Eric Bern

The state, schools, preschool institutions and parents are faced with a task of extreme importance: so that the child grows up not only healthy and strong, but also - of course! - inquisitive, independent, capable of solving problems in any life situation.

The scientific search for effective means of developing personal qualities of preschoolers represents current problem, requiring theoretical and practical solutions.

One of effective techniques and methods for developing curiosity and independence of preschoolers, in our opinion, is educational “geocaching”. "Geocaching" is a tourist game using satellite navigation systems, the essence of which is to find hiding places and treasures. Based on this game, there is educational “geocaching” - a new direction in pedagogy that can also be used in working with preschoolers. Already in younger age the baby can quite cope with the task of finding the “treasure”.

This direction is becoming relevant, as it helps to implement a comprehensive and active approach to the development of the personality of each child. It allows you to take learning beyond the kindergarten. This The best way introduce children to the nature of their native land, attractions and historical significance our city. After all, treasure can be found not only in the ground, but also in all the diversity of our surrounding world.

In our opinion, the problem of developing such personal qualities of preschoolers as independence and curiosity is one of the most pressing, since a person’s interaction with the outside world is possible thanks to his activity and activity, and also because activity is an indispensable prerequisite for the formation of the mental qualities of an individual, his independence and initiative. At the same time, we discovered contradiction between the urgent need to develop personal qualities (curiosity, independence) of preschoolers and insufficient use of the opportunity to improve this process in a preschool institution.

The revealed contradiction made it possible to identify problem: search for the most effective remedy development of independence and curiosity in children preschool age.

Insufficient development of the problem of developing curiosity, independence of preschoolers in solving intellectual problems, and its undoubted relevance for the theory and practice of modern preschool education, served as the basis for choosing my Topics work: “Development of curiosity, independence in solving intellectual problems by means of educational geocaching.”

Object of study: the process of developing curiosity and independence in preschoolers.
Subject of study: techniques and methods for organizing educational geocaching.

Target research: to ensure positive dynamics of curiosity, activity, independence in solving intellectual problems that are age-appropriate with the help of “educational geocaching.”

Working hypothesis: the targeted use of educational geocaching techniques will contribute to the development of curiosity, activity, and independence of preschool children.

Achieving the goal and confirming the hypothesis serves problem solving:

  • developing interest in nature through direct communication with it, perception of its beauty and diversity; understanding the relationships in nature and man’s place in it;
  • instilling a desire to maintain your health using natural storehouses;
  • creating conditions for the implementation of all types of games;
  • formation of attentive attitude and support of the children's community;
  • formation of the basis of cultural and environmentally appropriate behavior (in nature and society);
  • development of initial geographical concepts, familiarity with the simplest methods of orienteering;
  • development of orientation in time and space.

Research methods: analysis of literature on the problem, individual and group conversations, comparison, synthesis, monitoring of results, statistical analysis received data, etc.

Methodological basis research:

  • fundamental works of domestic and foreign scientists on the development of curiosity and child independence (L.S. Vygotsky, A.N. Leontiev, Ya.A. Kamensky, S.L. Rubinshtein, A.M. Matyushkin, V.A. Krutetsky , V.S. Yurkevich, D.E.Berlain, G.I.Shchukina, N.I.Reinvald, A.I.Krupnov and others.

The problem of independence is currently being studied in various aspects. The essence of independence of a preschool child, its nature are being studied (G.A. Ball, P.I. Pidkasisty, A.G. Khripkova); structure and relationship between the components of independence (Yu.N. Dmitrieva, G.N. Godina, T.G. Guskova); stages, conditions and methods for developing preschooler independence (Z.V. Eliseeva, N.S. Krivova, A.A. Lyublinskaya, K.P. Kuzovkova); the relationship between independence and various mental processes (T.I. Gorbatenko, D.V. Olshansky, N.A. Tsyrkun)

Degree of novelty The study is characterized by the fact that in the process of implementing the “educational geocaching” technology, a close connection was investigated and established between children’s search activities and increasing the level of children’s curiosity and independence. The role of parents on the problem was determined.

Practical significance The research consists of developing a set of activities using “educational geocaching” technology.

To implement the assigned tasks, we have identified the following stages:

  1. Enrichment of the subject-development environment.
  2. Ensuring safety during search activities.
  3. Organization of joint and independent activity teacher and children, as well as a child with peers.
  4. Interaction with parents.

Chapter 1. Development of curiosity and independence of a preschooler is one of important tasks in working with preschool children.

  • The content of the concepts of “curiosity, independence” in the works of researchers

Curiosity is a valuable personality state. It is characterized by a person’s desire to penetrate beyond what he sees. At this stage of interest there are enough strong expressions emotions of surprise, joy of learning, satisfaction with activities. The emergence of riddles and their deciphering is the essence of curiosity, as an active vision of the world, which develops not only in classes, but also in work, when a person is detached from simple performance and passive memorization. Curiosity, becoming a stable character trait, has significant value in personality development. Curious people not indifferent to the world, they are always in search. The problem of curiosity has been developed in Russian psychology for quite a long time, although it is still far from its final solution. A significant contribution to understanding the nature of curiosity was made by S.L. Rubinshtein, A.M. Matyushkin, V.A. Krutetsky, V.S. Yurkevich, D.E.Berline, G.I.Shchukina, N.I. Reinwald, A.I. Krupnov and others.

Morozova G.N. believes that curiosity is close to interest, but it is “diffuse, not focused on a specific subject or activity.”

Shchukina G.I. considers curiosity as a stage in the development of interest, reflecting the state of the child’s selective attitude towards the subject of knowledge and the degree of its influence on the personality.

Children's independence in Lately is increasingly becoming an object increased attention scientists, teachers and educators. This is connected not so much with the implementation of a person-oriented and activity-based approach to the development, upbringing and education of children, but with the need to solve the problem of preparing the younger generation for living conditions in modern society, a practice-oriented approach to organizing the educational process. Within the framework of this approach, it is believed that children in the process of education and training in kindergarten must learn to independently set the goals and objectives of their activities, analyze its conditions, formulate problems and hypotheses, assumptions about options for solving problem situations, find means for this, and overcome disagreements , organize and adjust the course of both individual and joint activities, achieving a positive result.
The need for the formation and development of independence is dictated by the needs of society for non-standard people who can think creatively and make discoveries for the benefit of humanity. And the solution to this issue is reflected in the process of developing independence, which allows a person to pose new problems and find new solutions.
Interest in this problem is due, first of all, to the fact that the desire for independence is characteristic of young children. This is an internal need of the child’s growing body that needs to be supported and developed. Independence is considered and studied in the works of Ivanov V.D., Osnitsky A.K., Teplyuk S., Markova T.A., K.P. Kuzovkova, SL. Rubinshteina, R.S. Bure, L.F. Ostrovskaya, T. Guskova, I.S. Kona, A. A. Lyublinskaya, E. O. Smirnova.
According to Teplyuk S., the origins of independence arise in early age, at the junction of the first and second years of a child’s life. It is here that the path to the formation of independent actions and skills begins, gradually becoming more complex in games and activities, in the perception of the environment and in communication. With the help of an adult, the child’s independent skills are consolidated and manifested in a variety of activities, gradually acquiring the status of a personality trait. An indicator of a child’s independence is the effectiveness of his actions. This indicator cannot be replaced by adult control. Control invariably presupposes obedience, and a strong union of these two concepts can develop lack of will, irresponsibility, laziness, and infantilism. Independence is a tax to internal freedom, to freedom of choice of actions, actions, judgments, in it are the origins of responsibility, confidence in one’s own own strength, the origins of creativity, self-esteem.
A.A. Lyublinskaya argues that independence does not arise suddenly, it develops from the very early childhood based on strengthening simple skills and habits.
M. Montessori considered autonomy and independence as a biological quality of a person. Nature gave people the opportunity to develop them to form all necessary skills, realization of abilities, acquisition of knowledge. All steps of a child’s development - from acquired skill in movements, learning to roll over, sit, crawl, walk, to the formation of social and communicative reactions and skills (gestures, speech, intonation, behavioral aspects...) - are a child’s step towards independence from adults.
According to E. O. Smirnova, independence is not so much the ability to perform some actions without outside help, but the ability to constantly break beyond one’s capabilities, set new tasks for oneself and find solutions to them. Independence does not mean complete freedom of action and behavior; it is always contained within the framework of accepted norms in society. Every child needs an assessment of his actions by a significant adult - his mother or father. It is important for them to please their parents with their new successes and achievements.

  • "Educational geocaching" at a preschool educational institution.

The issues of effective use of the technology of “educational geocaching” as a pedagogical means of developing curiosity and independence of preschoolers have not yet been fully resolved. Thanks to “information-prescription” learning, the child largely loses main feature exploratory behavior – search activity. And this is not surprising, because such training is based on “imitation”, “repetition” and “obedience” (V. T. Kudryavtsev). The result is a loss of curiosity, a decrease in cognitive activity, the ability to think independently, relying directly on one’s experience, and solve various problems. All this significantly blocks the child’s research activity, ultimately making the processes of self-learning, self-education, and, consequently, self-development almost impossible.

Geocaching appeared in Russia in 2002. The first enthusiasts laid a “cache” in the Moscow region, and within a year the game had grown to include 100 “cache.” main feature Russian geocaching means that “caches” are created in places of natural, historical, cultural or geographical interest. In our opinion, geocaching is effective method learn a lot of interesting, educational things about native land, be able to act in various life situations. "Educational geocaching" - educational technology helping the child to independently learn the world. The essence of technology is organization play activity children, when filling it with cognitive, developmental material. If you simplify and simplify the tasks somewhat, then geocaching can be played in kindergarten. This technology can be used not only while walking, but also at any time of the day. Children enjoy the task of finding “treasure” even at a young age. IN winter time this is especially exciting. We hide a box of candy or a toy, and the baby uses leading words to find it. Orientation in space, thinking, and understanding of speech develop. Playing with water and sand helps a lot. They become preparatory stage to find treasure. When putting things in order in the group, we create problematic situation, for example, “The doll Masha is lost,” by organizing a search for her, the baby understands that order is necessary in everything and careful attitude to all. And about morning exercises we won't forget. Transforming into small animals, or a breeze, or an insect helps the child to feel the natural world, to be a part of it, so that as he grows older, the child can retain and feel involved in the natural world. Together with an adult, children admire nature, observe changes in different time years, take part in helping birds (feeders and birdhouses). The child listens to the sounds of nature and peers at its images. And the world around us opens its pantries and helps the baby develop curiosity, observation and creativity. Organized excursions around the neighborhood helped us see how it is changing and growing. Together with the children, we made joint sketches, took photographs, and then designed exhibitions for different topics: “How many floors are in the new house?”, “Why are houses needed?”, “Why crane stay up?"

Playing hide and seek helped children better navigate in space. According to description environment invited children to find a hidden toy, overcoming various obstacles along the way: jump over a stream, sit down three times, build a bridge across a wide river, count birch trees, choose the right path. Here we take a comprehensive approach to the development of children: and mental processes, and motor activity, and mathematical concepts, and knowledge of the surrounding world, and design, and the formation of cooperation and mutual understanding in the accomplishment of a common task.

While playing, the child feels himself in natural and familiar conditions, quietly exploring the world around him. The teacher only needs to approach creatively educational activities, which, using elements of “educational geocaching” technology, gives positive results.

Chapter 2. Practical aspect.

2.1.Implementation of the “educational geocaching” technology.

At the first stage In our work, having studied the psychological and pedagogical literature on the problem of developing curiosity and independence in solving intellectual problems, we realized that a “dense” group is needed development environment, which performs a teaching function, develops personal qualities child.

It is extremely important that the subject environment has the character of an open, non-closed system, capable of change, adjustment and development. Practice suggests that it is difficult to completely replace the subject environment in a group. But still, under any circumstances, objective world, surrounding the child, needs to be replenished and updated, which is what we do. Only then does the environment contribute to the formation of curiosity, independence, and activity in children. All centers in the group room are aimed at developing children's curiosity. The Experimentation Corner is updated frequently.

To implement the task of practical implementation of geocaching in educational process in our group, I did the following: I got the children interested in the game “Geocaching” through the games: “Postman Pechkin”, “Find a Friend”, “Treasure Search” and others.

At the first stage it was simple game in notes from our childhood. For example, the postman Pechkin brings a letter to the group - a drawing: “A kitten got entangled in a wire,” which indicates the location of the incident. By describing and comparing the area, children complete tasks (walk past a stream, down a hill, go around a tall tree, count Christmas trees) and look for a kitten. We establish a connection between the kitten and the wire: “Why is there a lot of garbage in the yards?”, “Why is the territory of the kindergarten clean?” And children begin to respect the work of a janitor. “Who can clean up the garbage in the neighborhood?” We interviewed passers-by and adults in the kindergarten and found out that if people themselves don’t litter, it will be clean. The children also thought about who determines order and cleanliness in the group, and how they can help with this. So, from simple to complex, children consolidate the basics of mathematics, get acquainted with nature, learn to navigate in space, communicate with each other and the people around them, and establish cause and effect relationships.

The most effective forms and methods used in the implementation of “educational geocaching” technology:

  • educational conversations; for example, “How to behave correctly in nature,” “What is autumn like?”, “What has autumn brought us?” and etc.
  • excursions to the road, to a construction site, to the forest, to a landscape park, to a stadium, etc.
  • moments of kindness; for example, “How to cheer up a friend?”, “What is love?”, “Guys, let’s live together,” “ Magic word" and etc.
  • minutes of reflection “Why doesn’t the crane go to bed?”, “Where does the traffic light live?”, “How to help the flowers not dry out in the flowerbed?”, “Where do the titmice live?”, “Why did the dandelion change its dress?”
  • stock; for example: “Bird House”, “Breadcrumbs”, “Feed the Birds in Winter”, “Week of Kindness”, etc.
  • labor landing; “Fighting the King of Garbage”, “Visiting the Fairy of Purity”.
  • environmental patrol “Young Nature Defenders”.
  • club of nature researchers “Young ecologist”
  • laboratory of young ecologist “Lyuboznayka”
  • mapping; schemes
  • collecting; for example "Herbarium autumn leaves", "Collection of candy wrappers", "Box of wonderful things", "Voronenko Collection" and others.
  • exhibitions and expositions; for example, “Such different houses”, “Grandfather Mazai and the hares”, “The forest looks like a painted tower”, “The Christmas tree is a green needle”.
  • travel games, for example, “Visiting the Breeze”, “Den for a Bear”, “Travel with a Traffic Light”, “Our Neighborhood”, “What will the crane tell us about?”
  • environmental fairy tales, for example, “How the bees saved the summer”, “Forest Tale”.

Final events held after the implementation of a particular project have become traditional. For example:

  • photo exhibitions “How our neighborhood is growing”, “Goodbye, summer”,
  • photo reports “Studying the ant family”, “Life of wonderful children”, “We went to the woods”, “Young Olympians”.
  • entertainment and leisure “Earth Day”, “Saved in Reserve”, “Flower Festival”, “Autumn Holiday”, “Visiting Lesovichka”.
  • Exhibitions creative works“My City”, “Trickster Bunnies”, “Autumn Opening Day”, “Goodbye Summer”
  • release of albums, baby books, etc.

Thus, in the process of active implementation of the “educational geocaching” technology, a preschool child acquires the ability to experiment: see and highlight a problem, accept and set a goal, solve problems, analyze an object or phenomenon, highlight significant features and connections, compare various facts, put forward hypotheses and assumptions, select funds and materials, draw conclusions, record stages of action and results graphically.

Working with parents - necessary stage in research activities.

Our experience has shown that “educational geocaching” involves and “attracts” not only preschoolers, but also their parents. It is known that not a single educational or educational task cannot be successfully resolved without fruitful contact with the family. We build our communication with parents on the basis of cooperation. We use various methods of interaction with the family: visual, verbal, practical.

For this purpose we carry out parent meetings, where parents learn about the forms of implementation of the “educational geocaching” technology, its capabilities and impact on the development of the child.

We also provide consultations for parents on organizing geocaching and issue leaflets on this issue. “Homework assignments” for parents and children are very popular in the form of the game “Take an excursion to the intended object,” where parents, together with their children, are offered notes that ultimately lead to the intended object.

2.2. Identifying effectiveness

Practice shows that the impetus for starting “treasure hunting” can be surprise, curiosity, a problem or request put forward by someone. How bigger baby asks questions, the better. These questions help to collect as much source material as possible, which will then be classified. Therefore, the technology “educational geocaching” has taken its place in the system of work in kindergarten. It has become an interesting and exciting process for both children and adults.

Together with the guys we discuss the result that turned out in real life, and there is no need to try to fit it into ideas that seem correct. In the process of experiments, we note that the child’s memory is being enriched, his thought processes are being activated, since the need to perform operations of analysis, comparison, and classification constantly arises.

This helps enrich the child’s knowledge, teaches him to analyze, reflect, reflect on what he learns; has a beneficial effect on the child’s worldview and the development of his human and social feelings.

We monitor the effectiveness of the work done on the stated topic by monitoring the formation of integrative qualities “Curious, active” (the “Mosaic” program by N.V. Grebenkina), where the positive dynamics of the level of development of these personality qualities is visible. The methods and techniques I used to develop curiosity and independence led to the following results.

September 2013 (26 children).

4 Able to manage one’s behavior and plan one’s actions 15 15 1
5 Able to solve intellectual and personal problems appropriate for age 18 11 2

Analysis of the results indicates an increased number of children with high level curiosity, independence and reducing the number of children with low level, which is the result of the work done. It became possible to verify that the technology “educational geocaching” is a special form of search activity in which the processes of goal formation, the processes of emergence and development of new personal motives that underlie the self-movement and self-development of preschoolers are most clearly expressed.

Conclusion

Studying literary sources, experience educational institutions on this problem, it was revealed that when active work All senses are involved in the process of learning for a child. Scientists have proven that the more sense organs simultaneously participate in the process of cognition, the better person feels, remembers, comprehends, understands, assimilates, consolidates the material being studied.

At the same time, it is important that this activity is not given in advance in the form of one scheme or another, but is built by the children themselves as they receive new information about the object. Experience shows that the use of educational geocaching in a preschool institution allows not only to maintain existing interest, but also to arouse for some reason an extinguished interest, which is the key to successful learning in the future.

The results of the work indicate that the use of “educational geocaching” technology had an impact on:

  1. Increasing the level of development of curiosity and independence; children's research skills (see and identify a problem, accept and set a goal, solve problems, analyze an object or phenomenon, highlight essential features and connections, compare various facts, put forward various hypotheses, select tools and materials for independent activities, carry out an experiment, do certain conclusions and conclusions);
  2. Increasing the level of development of cognitive processes;
  3. Speech development (enrichment vocabulary children using various terms, consolidating the ability to construct their answers to questions grammatically correctly, the ability to ask questions, follow the logic of their statements, the ability to construct demonstrative speech);
  4. Personal characteristics (the emergence of initiative, independence, the ability to cooperate with others, the need to defend one’s point of view, coordinate it with others, etc.);
  5. Children's knowledge about living and inanimate nature;
  6. Increasing the competence of parents in organizing work on the use of “educational geocaching” technology.

Thus, the use of “educational geocaching” technology is effective and necessary for the development of preschoolers’ independence, curiosity, cognitive activity, persistence in searching and achieving results in the desire for further independent research and knowledge of the surrounding world.

Further activity on this issue is seen in generalizing and systematizing the acquired experience and compiling author's program on the use of “educational geocaching”.

The issues of effective use of educational geocaching as a pedagogical means of developing curiosity and independence of preschoolers have not yet been fully resolved. Thanks to “information-prescription” training, the child largely loses the main feature of exploratory behavior - search activity. And this is not surprising, because such training is based on “imitation”, “repetition” and “obedience” (V. T. Kudryavtsev). The result is a loss of curiosity, a decrease in cognitive activity, the ability to think independently, relying directly on one’s experience, and solve various problems. All this significantly blocks the child’s research activity, ultimately making the processes of self-learning, self-education, and, consequently, self-development almost impossible.

Geocaching appeared in Russia in 2002. The first enthusiasts laid a “cache” in the Moscow region, and within a year the game had grown to include 100 “cache.” The main feature of Russian geocaching is that “caches” are created in places of natural, historical, cultural or geographic interest. In our opinion, geocaching is an effective way to learn a lot of interesting, educational things about your native land, and to be able to act in various life situations. “Educational geocaching” is a pedagogical technology that helps a child independently explore the world around him. The essence of the technology is the organization of children's play activities, filling them with cognitive, developmental material. If you simplify and simplify the tasks somewhat, then geocaching can be played in kindergarten. This technology can be used not only while walking, but also at any time of the day. Children enjoy the task of finding “treasure” even at a young age. In winter it is especially exciting. We hide a box of candy or a toy, and the baby uses leading words to find it. Orientation in space, thinking, and understanding of speech develop. Playing with water and sand helps a lot. They become a preparatory stage for finding the treasure. When putting things in order in the group, we create a problematic situation, for example, “The doll Masha is lost,” and by organizing a search for it, the child understands that everything needs order and a careful attitude towards everything. And we won’t forget about morning exercises. Transformation into small animals, or a breeze, or an insect helps the child to feel the natural world, to be a part of it, so that as he grows older, the child can retain and feel involved in the natural world. Together with an adult, children admire nature, observe changes at different times of the year, and take part in helping birds (feeders and birdhouses). The child listens to the sounds of nature and peers at its images. And the world around us opens its pantries and helps the baby develop curiosity, observation and creativity. our excursions around the neighborhood helped us see how it is changing and growing. They made joint sketches, took photographs, and then designed exhibitions on various topics: “How many floors are in the new house?”, “Why are houses needed?”, “Why does the crane not go to bed?”

Playing hide and seek helped children better navigate in space. Based on the description of the surrounding environment, she invited the children to find a hidden toy, overcoming various obstacles along the way: jump over a stream, sit down three times, build a bridge across a wide river, count birch trees, choose the right path. Here we take a comprehensive approach to the development of children: mental processes, motor activity, mathematical concepts, knowledge of the world around us, design, and the formation of cooperation and mutual understanding in carrying out a common task.

While playing, the child feels himself in natural and familiar conditions, quietly exploring the world around him. The educator only needs to creatively approach educational activities, which, with the help of elements of “educational geocaching,” give positive results.
