Today, there are quite a lot of different training programs and manuals, as well as films and cartoons about insects for children, which can help kids in the study of this issue. In this article, we will tell you how to properly introduce the child to a detachment of insects and how to help them improve their knowledge.
We study insects with children
The easiest and most convenient way to study insects for children are cards with their images. You can purchase ready-made manuals for preschoolers or make cards yourself. To do this, select suitable images of the butterfly, beetle, ladybug, caterpillar, bee, wasp, ant and other insects, print them and paste on thick cardboard. Make sure that the cards are the same size. Then on the back of each image write its name.
All stories about insects for children must be accompanied by a demonstration of cards. After the kid remembers where an insect is depicted, place the cards in chaotic order and ask the child to explain what is painted on them. In the future, you can change or complicate this game in different ways, so that the crumb was interesting.
When studying insects, tell the baby where they live, how they multiply, what can be useful for humans and other species of living beings. To interest the child, try to present the information in an amusing poetic form, for example:
***
Here are two butterflies flying.
Tell you want,
What was yesterday in the grass
There were two caterpillars.
But from the caterpillars of the lazy
Have suddenly turned into beautiful
The colorful little princesses.
The meadow is full of wonders!
***
We are small wasps.
In vests, like sailors,
Fly over the flowers -
You are all familiar with us.
Always on our legs
Fluffy boots.
We are hot in them a little.
Send the sandals!
***
Around the flower is buzzing
The bee has a schedule:
The whole day nectar pumps,
And at night he rests.
To familiarize children with the sounds that various insects publish, it is best to use a variety of computer programs. With their help, the baby can not only see every insect, but also hear. In addition, when playing with a crumb, you can also accompany your stories with the simplest demonstration of insect sounds.
When the main insects have been studied, prepare material for children about such interesting species as cricket, centipede, firefly, praying mantis and others. Give each type of study enough time to fully understand the information.
