Developing games for children 6 months

Half a year is a huge period of life for a newborn baby. If the baby, who just appeared, sleeps almost all the time, the baby, who is already six months old, is awake for a long time and becomes unusually active.

During the periods of wakefulness of the six-month-old youngster, it is necessary to play with him in various developmental games, which will allow him to quickly learn new skills and get acquainted with the world around him. In this article, we offer to your attention several educational games for children from 6 months and older.

Developing games for kids at the age of 6 months

For children 6-7 months the following developmental games are suitable:

  1. "Drummer". Plant the crumb on a feeding chair with a table top and give it a large wooden spoon in the handle. Show what will happen if you knock on the table. Rest assured, this fun activity will surely entertain your baby and, furthermore, will promote the development of an understanding of cause-effect relationships, auditory skills, and a sense of rhythm.
  2. "Peas". A half-year-old baby is already pretty skillfully handling his pens and enjoys it with pleasure. At this age, the crumb is already able to pick up small objects with fingers, although more recently this skill was not available for him. For babies at 6 months, developmental games that sharpen this skill are very important and useful, as they contribute to the development of fine motor skills. If you scatter peas, beads, buttons and other similar objects in front of your child, he will gladly pick them up. Be very careful not to leave your baby unattended, because he can pull a little thing into his mouth and choke.
  3. «Airplane». Lie down on the floor on your back, and put the baby on your feet with your tummy so that his face is drawn to yours. At the same time, hold the baby firmly by the handles. Slowly and carefully raise and lower your legs, and also roll them back and forth, so that the baby experiences a "flight" sensation. This game will not only amuse your child, but will also strengthen its vestibular apparatus.

In addition, for crumbs from 6 months to a year, finger development games such as "Soroka-Beloboka" or "We shared an orange" are very important. Be sure to give at least a little time to this useful lesson.
