Development games emotional sphere preschoolers.

Emotions play an important role in children's lives, helping them perceive and respond to reality. A child’s emotions are a message to others about his condition.

Emotions and feelings just like others mental processes, go through a complex developmental path throughout childhood.

For children early age emotions are the motives of behavior, which explains their impulsiveness and instability. If kids are upset, offended, angry or unsatisfied, they begin to scream and cry inconsolably, knock their feet on the floor, and fall. This strategy allows them to completely release all the physical tension that has arisen in the body.

In preschool age, social forms of expressing emotions are mastered. Thanks to speech development the emotions of preschoolers become conscious; they are an indicator of the child’s general condition, his mental and physical well-being.

The emotional system of preschool children is still immature, so in unfavorable situations they may experience inadequate emotional reactions and behavioral disorders, which are a consequence of low self-esteem, feelings of resentment and anxiety. All of these feelings are normal human reactions, but children find it difficult to express negative emotions appropriately. In addition, children of preschool age have problems expressing emotions associated with adult prohibitions. This is a ban on loud laughter, a ban on tears (especially for boys), a ban on expressing fear and aggression. A six-year-old child already knows how to be restrained and can hide, aggression and tears, but, being for a long time in a state of resentment, anger, depression, the child experiences emotional discomfort, tension, and this is very harmful for the mental and physical health. Experience emotional attitude to the world, acquired in preschool age, according to psychologists, is very strong and takes on the character of an attitude.

Preschool age– a fertile period for the organization pedagogical work on the emotional development of children.The main task of such work is not to suppress and eradicate emotions, but to properly direct them. It is important for the teacher to specifically introduce children to the peculiar emotional primer, learn to use the language of emotions to express your own feelings and experiences and to better understand the state of other people, analyze the causes of different moods.

on the development of the emotional sphere of children

Emotions play an important role in children's lives, helping them perceive and respond to reality. Feelings dominate all aspects of a preschooler’s life, giving them a special coloring and expressiveness, so the emotions that he experiences are easily read on his face, in posture, gestures, and in all behavior.

Entering kindergarten, the child finds himself in new, unusual conditions, surrounded by unfamiliar adults and children with whom he has to establish relationships. In this situation, teachers and parents need to join forces to ensure the child’s emotional comfort and develop the ability to communicate with peers.

Game "Kindergarten"

Two participants in the game are selected, the rest of the children are spectators. Participants are asked to role-play the following situation: parents come to pick up a child at kindergarten. The child comes out to them expressing a certain emotional state. Spectators must guess what condition the participant in the game is portraying, parents must find out what happened to their child, and the child must tell the reason for his condition.

Game "Artists"

Goal: develop the ability to express various emotions on paper.

Participants in the game are presented with five cards depicting children with different emotional states and feelings. You need to choose one card and draw a story in which the chosen emotional condition is the main plot. At the end of the work, an exhibition of drawings is held. Children guess who the hero of the plot is, and the author of the work tells the story depicted.

Game "Fourth wheel"

Goal: development of attention, perception, memory, recognition of various emotions.

The teacher presents the children with four pictograms of emotional states. The child must highlight one condition that does not fit with the others:

Joy, good nature, responsiveness, greed;

Sadness, resentment, guilt, joy;

Hard work, laziness, greed, envy;

Greed, anger, envy, responsiveness.

In another version of the game, the teacher reads out the tasks without relying on picture material.

Sad, upset, happy, sad;

Rejoices, has fun, delights, gets angry;

Joy, fun, happiness, anger;

Game "Who - where"

Goal: develop the ability to recognize different emotions.

The teacher exhibits portraits of children with various expressions of emotional feelings and states. The child needs to choose those children who:

Can be imprisoned for festive table;

It is necessary to calm, to select;

The teacher was offended;

The child must explain his choice, naming the signs by which he understood what mood each child shown in the picture had.

Game "What would happen if."

Goal: develop the ability to recognize and express various emotions.

An adult shows the children a plot picture in which the hero(s) does not have a face(s). Children are asked to name which emotion they consider appropriate for this case and why. After this, the adult invites the children to change the emotion on the hero’s face. What would happen if he became cheerful (sad, angry, etc.?

You can divide the children into groups according to the number of emotions and ask each group to role-play the situation. For example, one group invents and acts out a situation in which the characters are angry, another group invents a situation in which the characters laugh.

Game "What happened?"

Goal: to teach children to recognize different emotional states and develop empathy.

The teacher exhibits portraits of children with various expressions of emotional states and feelings. Participants in the game take turns choosing any state, naming it and coming up with a reason why it arose: “Once I was very much offended because...” For example, “Once I was very offended because my friend...”

"Little Raccoon"

Goal: develop the ability to recognize and express various emotions.

One child is Little Raccoon, and the rest are his reflection (“The one who lives in the river.”) They sit freely on the carpet or stand in a line. The raccoon approaches the “river” and depicts different feelings (fear, interest, joy), and the children accurately reflect them with the help of gestures and facial expressions. Then other children are chosen to play the role of the Raccoon. The game ends with the song “A smile will make everyone warmer.”

Emotion anger, rage

Anger is one of the most important human emotions, and at the same time one of the most unpleasant.

Wicked, aggressive child, a brawler and a bully - a great parental disappointment, a threat to the well-being of the children's group, a “thunderstorm” in the yards, but at the same time an unfortunate creature that no one understands, does not want to caress and feel sorry for. Children's aggressiveness is a sign of internal emotional distress, a clot of negative experiences, and one of the inadequate methods of psychological defense. Therefore, our task is to help the child get rid of accumulated anger using constructive methods, i.e. we must teach the preschooler accessible ways expressing anger without causing harm to others.

Game "Tender Paws"

Goal: relieving tension, muscle tension, reducing aggressiveness, developing sensory perception.

Progress of the game: an adult selects 6-7 small objects of different textures: a piece of fur, a brush, a glass bottle, beads, cotton wool, etc. All this is laid out on the table. The child is asked to bare his arm up to the elbow: the adult explains that the animal will walk along the arm and touch it with its affectionate paws. With your eyes closed, you need to guess which animal touched your hand - guess the object. Touches should be stroking and pleasant.

Game option: the “animal” will touch the cheek, knee, palm. You can change places with your child.

Exercise “Feisty”.

Goal: to develop the ability to recognize various emotions through facial expressions and pantomimes.

Children are asked to imagine that anger and anger have “possessed” one of the children and turned him into an Angry Man. Children stand in a circle, in the center of which stands Zlyuka. Everyone reads a short poem together:

Once upon a time there lived a little boy (girl).

The little boy (girl) was angry.

The child playing the role of Angry must convey the appropriate emotional state with the help of facial expressions and pantomimes (pushes his eyebrows, pouts his lips, waves his arms). When repeating the exercise, all children are asked to repeat the movements and facial expressions of an angry child.

Game "Magic bags"

Goal: relieving children's psychological stress.

Children are invited to put all negative emotions into the first magic bag: anger, anger, resentment, etc. You can even shout into the bag. After the children have spoken, the bag is tied and hidden. Then the children are offered a second bag, from which children can take the positive emotions they want: joy, fun, kindness, etc.

Exercise “Finish the sentence”

“Now let’s close our eyes and find the place on the body where anger lives in you. What is this feeling? What color is it? There are glasses of water and paints in front of you, color the water the color of anger. Next, on the person’s outline, find a place where anger lives, and paint this place with the color of anger.”

Exercise “Go away, anger, go away!”

Goal: removing aggressiveness.

The players lie on the carpet in a circle. There are pillows between them. Closing their eyes, they begin with all their strength to put their feet on the floor and their hands on the pillows, with a loud cry of “Go away, anger, go away!” The exercise lasts 3 minutes, then the participants, at the command of an adult, lie down in the “star” position, spreading their legs and arms wide apart, lie quietly, listening to calm music, for another 3 minutes.

Emotion Fear

Fear

This is one of the first emotions a newborn baby experiences; associated with a feeling of danger. Already in the first months of life, the child begins to be afraid, first of sharp sounds, then of unfamiliar surroundings, of strangers. As a child grows, his fears often grow along with him. The more a child’s knowledge expands and his imagination develops, the more he notices the dangers that lie in wait for every person. The line between normal, protective fear and pathological fear is often blurred, but in any case, fears prevent the child from living.
