Goal: Improving the professional skills of teachers , in the process of active pedagogical communication , through the use of the technology “ Games with clothespins ”
Tasks:
1. Expand the knowledge of teachers about the importance of using games with clothespins for the development of children ;
2. To introduce and interest in the types of didactic games with clothespins ;
3. To develop the creative abilities of teachers in the production of a didactic game with clothespins “Peacock”
.
Participants: preschool teachers
Conclusion: Each game provides exercises useful for the mental development of children and their education. Thanks to games, it is possible to concentrate the attention and attract the interest of even the most disorganized preschool children. At the beginning, they are captivated only by game actions, and then by what this or that game teaches. Gradually, children awaken interest in the subject of study itself.
Games with clothespins are good for babies from 1 to 5 years old. They are not only exciting and funny, but also useful. Such games develop fine motor skills, which in turn helps in the development of speech. And this happens because the motor and speech centers in the cerebral cortex are located side by side and influence each other. In addition, games with clothespins develop creativity and logical thinking.

Cool wedding competitions
Let's sing a song
The presenter thinks of a word or phrase, and the guests, who are also participants in the competition, must remember and sing in chorus a song that contains this word or whose meaning coincides with the named phrase. After the guests have sung the song, the most vocal ones are awarded prizes. After this, the competition can be repeated several times so that as many guests as possible can receive prizes.
Tear the paper
Several young people sit on chairs. A piece of medium-weight paper is placed on their laps. Next, girls sit in the arms of the young men. The girls' task is to tear the paper without using their hands, that is, they must fidget and do whatever they want, but the paper must be torn. The pair whose paper has more tears is considered the winner.
Oil painting
We select 3-5 guests who are ready to show their talent in art. They are provided with a canvas (sheet of paper) and a palette of paints (felt-tip pens or pencils). Guests must draw pictures on the theme “Newlyweds and the beginning of family”. Here guests can show all their imagination and give free rein to their ideas. Then, one by one, the paintings are put up for wedding auction with a minimum mandatory starting price. Bidding is underway, the paintings are sold, and the money collected is sent to the young family foundation.
Below the belt
For this competition you need to prepare two identical collages for two teams. The collage will include photos of the newlyweds and photos of any other couples (from the Internet, for example), but on each collage, the top of each photo is sealed using tear-off notebook paper with an adhesive strip, that is, the couples are visible only “below the waist.” About 10 people are chosen from those who want to participate and they are formed into two teams. Each team receives a collage. At the “start” command, team members begin to recognize legs. Guests should mark with a pencil on paper only those photos of the collage in which there are newlyweds “below the waist.” The team that correctly guesses all the photos of the newlyweds will be the winner.
I will soon become a grandmother
Mother-in-law and mother-in-law will soon become grandmothers and now is the time to hold a training competition to remember how to manage children - future grandchildren. And, since grandmothers are experienced mothers, they can handle children even with their eyes closed. The husbands of future grandmothers will act as children. The mother-in-law's child will be the father-in-law, and the mother-in-law will have the father-in-law. So, every couple is invited to participate, the future grandmothers are blindfolded, and the children are given bibs. The mother-in-law and mother-in-law are given the same jar of baby puree and a small spoon. At the “start” command, the grannies open the jars of puree and begin to feed their children, the leader carefully monitors the feeding process to see whose jar is empty first. The couple in which the “grandmother” completes the task faster and feeds the “baby” will be the winner.
Children's music
Each guest must remember his favorite song, and the newlyweds must show their wits. So, each guest in turn goes to the center of the hall, he is given a baby rattle or a squeaky toy, because the young people will soon have children and they will have to understand not only baby talk, but also children's music. So, the guest takes a rattle and tries to reproduce the melody of his song, and the newlyweds must guess what kind of song the rattle plays. The guest whose song the young people guess gets a prize.
Nimble legs
Several teams of about 4 people are formed from the guests. For each team, draw an identical circle on the floor with chalk. There are balloons scattered around outside the circle. Teams stand at the same distance from their circles. At the command “start”, the members of each team, using only their feet, must “drive” the balloon into the circle of their team. And since balloons are difficult to train, this will not be so easy. The team that collects more balloons in its circle than the rest will be the winner.
Eating pearls of happiness
Each participant receives a plate with the same number of “pearls” (green peas, for example) and a toothpick. At the “start” command, the participants begin to eat the “pearls” of happiness so that the newlyweds are always full and happy. You can only prick one “pearl” (pea) at a time. The participant who eats all the peas the fastest will be the winner.
We need to cooperate
Guests are divided into pairs: man-woman. In each pair, the participants stand back to back and their hands are tied. Each couple is given pants and a skirt (preferably long). At the “start” command, the couple must cooperate and quickly put on their clothes (the man – trousers, and the woman – skirt). The first couple to complete the task will win.
Mint
The guests are divided into teams: a team of guests from the groom's side and a team of guests from the bride's side. At the “start” command, the participants must create their own mint for the newlyweds so that they always live in abundance - one team on one side, and the second on the other. Any coins will be used (from pockets, borrowed from passers-by, begged in stores, and so on). The team that can build a larger mint out of coins than their opponents in 2 minutes will be the winner.
The course of the master class.
In our everyday life there are many interesting objects that attract the attention of children: corks, caps, buttons, plastic bottles, clothespins... . After all, it is the clothespins that we use to secure clothes that can become interesting games for children. From wooden clothespins you can make wonderful souvenirs for any holiday with your own hands.
For the first time, games with wooden clothespins were used by Maria Montessori, a famous Italian teacher . But then these subjects occupied an insignificant place in her pedagogical system .
Currently, the industry produces a wide variety of clothespins , differing in size, material, and wide range of colors. For example, pressing on the long ends of a clothespin so that it opens on the other side will make it look like someone is opening their mouth. clothespin for this , and it immediately becomes clear that this is a “real crocodile”
. And then you can attach the crocodile to the yellow circle. And I immediately remember the lines of K. Chukovsky: “Woe! Woe! The crocodile swallowed the sun in the sky!”
You can also attach clothespins to multi-colored circles and you will get a variety of flowers: cornflowers, sunflowers, seven-flowered flowers, etc., and, of course, a sun with yellow rays. This is how constructive thinking develops, unnoticed by the child, and most importantly, excitingly. When playing with a child, you must remember to accompany all your actions with speech. You can come up with a variety of stories and tell them with your child.
The plots of games with clothespins can be very diverse. A child should have the opportunity to create - “draw”
a picture made from pictures made using
clothespins .
Clothespins can help your child learn to identify colors. Indeed, among the huge variety of clothespins, you can suggest finding only red, only green or only blue , etc. e. Games with clothespins can also help in the formation of a child’s quantitative concepts. Ask your child to give you one clothespin , two, three. Let him count them within the set he knows. At an older age, with the help of clothespins, you can teach your child to solve simple arithmetic problems involving addition, subtraction, quantitative relationships using the words “more by”
,
"less by"
.
You can use clothespins , forming a child’s concept of numbers by correlating the number of clothespins with certain numbers. For example, invite the child to attach the number of clothespins that corresponds to the named (or drawn)
number.
Games with clothespins are great for developing children's spatial awareness.
Games with clothespins develop fine motor skills. They are especially useful if the child’s fingers act uncertainly and awkwardly. Games with clothespins are good for developing a pinch grip and the ability to redistribute muscle tone during a pinch grip. It is very important to practice sequentially (right hand, left hand, both hands, move from simple to complex. By developing the movements of the fingers, we thereby contribute to the development of the child’s intellectual and thinking processes, the development of his speech.
So, when performing game exercises with clothespins, several problems are solved:
- development of fine motor skills of the hands,
— formation and development of mathematical concepts corresponding to the task (perception of color, shape, size, quantitative and spatial relationships);
- development of a sense of rhythm;
— development of constructive thinking;
— formation of a positive attitude towards working together with an adult.

Competitions for newlyweds
Beautiful life
At the beginning of the competition, the presenter asks those gathered what material values they can wish for the young people. Someone will definitely name: house, car, yacht, dacha, money. Those who guess one of these words must raise their hand.
At the end of the survey, those who guessed correctly and the newlyweds are invited to the center of the hall. Each participant must show what he wished. The presenter asks first to demonstrate how they will show it and to direct the process. Each participant has their own short excerpt from the song. During the action, the young people take pictures with the competition participants.
- House. The participant must stand behind the young people and make a roof over their heads with their hands. Music track: “Under the roof of your house” by Yu. Antonov.

Simple educational games with clothespins
For these games you don't need anything other than the clothespins themselves. Well, or almost nothing.
Remove the bug from your clothes . Attach clothespins of different colors to yourself or your child and invite him to remove the bug. This is a fun game with which you can consolidate your knowledge of basic colors, body parts, clothing, and learn the concepts of “right” and “left” (right hand, left leg).
You can also run after dad together and save him from annoying bugs. Or run away from them yourself.
Find the bug . Ask your child to wait for you in another room, and you yourself attach clothespins to various objects - curtains, toys, furniture, etc. Tell your child that while he was away, bugs arrived and now they need to be caught and put in a box or bucket.
The game perfectly develops attention and is ideal for the first games, when the child’s fingers cannot yet attach clothespins.
This is a very fun game. Antoshka adores her. You can run, train your arms, and show off your catch. You can also count the caught bugs. This is how we play - we are looking for 7 bugs.
When the child’s fingers get stronger, invite him to plant bugs, and you will look for them. But my experience shows that children like the first version of the game more.
Drying clothes . Your child has probably seen you hanging out laundry after washing more than once. Children love to repeat after adults! If you tie a rope between the legs of the table or even the handles of the basin, with what joy the baby will hang out his socks or clothes for the dolls!
Beads from clothespins . Clothespins can be strung on a cord to make beautiful beads for mom. When the child can easily cope with the task, complicate the task and invite him to alternate clothespins of different colors.
Designer made from clothespins . Build a robot, an airplane, or a deer from clothespins. I’m currently assembling, and Antoshka is taking it apart.
We attach it to everything . Attach clothespins with your child to everything that comes to hand. Make earrings for a bear, decorate a hanger, plastic cups, a car, and designer parts.
Antoshka likes to attach clothespins around the perimeter of the box in which we store them. And if you cover the box with colored paper (each side has a different color), then this is another reason to repeat the primary colors.
Designer parts can be used for the same purposes .
Wedding competitions for guests - intellectual and funny games without vulgarity
How to choose fun games for guests and run funny competitions at a wedding? People start thinking about this long before the holiday. Of course, it is easier if a professional toastmaster is the host at the wedding, but often modern newlyweds and their friends decide to take full responsibility, show their imagination and come up with entertainment programs and new entertainment themselves, abandoning the already boring traditional games.
The purpose of such entertainment is not to let any of those invited to the holiday get bored. Each guest must take part in entertainment, games, quizzes, and competitions designed specifically for adults and children.
How to choose games and competitions to entertain guests - tips
A wedding is the most joyful day in the life of the bride and groom, a holiday that began at the registry office with a ceremonial registration and continued at the banquet.
To prevent the celebration from turning into a continuous, continuous feast, you need to think through a full-fledged entertainment program. Quizzes, games, and wedding competitions for guests are designed so that they:
- could captivate everyone present;
- alternated with congratulations;
- emphasized the theme chosen for the holiday;
- did not tire the participants too much.
Vulgar and rude jokes are excluded. Even dress-up competitions must strictly comply with established rules and not offend the dignity of those invited and participants in the game. The presenter will have to not only announce congratulations or the next competitions - he must show his intelligence, and not just banally congratulate the newlyweds, but give each guest the opportunity to express their wishes and give what is planned.
The toastmaster carefully observes the guests and everything that happens at the wedding.
When conducting games, the host tries not to involve in the fun those who have not calculated their strength and got drunk, taking into account the desire of each of the invitees to have fun from the heart.
If something does not go as planned, it is important to redirect the attention of the guests in time, using original jokes, practical jokes, and unusual questions.
It is unlikely that you will be able to avoid unforeseen situations on such a day, but you can reduce the risk of their occurrence by preparing a celebration scenario in advance. A noisy celebration dedicated to the family’s birthday begins immediately after the wedding and a walk through memorable places.
What is happening will not only remain in the memory - all the most interesting and funny moments of the holiday will be recorded on video and saved in numerous photographs.
The script includes:
- Live scenes with the participation of men, ladies, newlyweds, children present at the holiday.
- Funny pranks.
- Lottery.
- Dancing.
- Competitions between teams consisting of representatives of youth and older generations.
- Competitions for reciters who will have to read unknown poems written in advance by the presenter in the best and most expressive way.
When working on the script, you need to make sure that all prepared competitions, tasks, practical jokes and skits alternate with congratulations and toasts. Guests should eat quietly, chat with each other, and get to know those they are seeing for the first time.
The newlyweds and witnesses take part in the preparation of some numbers, but the program will also include jokes that the newlyweds should not know about. Creativity is the basis of success.
DIY games with clothespins
For these games you will need colored cardboard and a minimum of time. It takes a couple of minutes to cut the blank, but it will last a long time.
Using clothespins, we attach rays to the sun , rain to a cloud , and plant grass in the garden bed .
We make branches for the Christmas tree , tops for carrots and turnips , and thorns for the hedgehog . Since I'm not much of an artist, I chose to print the hedgehog.
Making ears for bunnies .
This is what we do. There are more than enough such games. But you can come up with many other options : attaching legs and arms to little people, fingers to palms, paws to bugs, petals to flowers, legs to animals, wings to an airplane, leaves to a tree, etc.
And you can create three-dimensional objects by attaching, for example, legs to a table .
Multicolored circle . Another of our favorite games. Its creation will take a little more time, but the results will please you.
I cut a circle out of cardboard, divided it into 6 parts, and colored each part to match the colors of the clothespins I had. I drew circles along the outer edge: from two to five. Antoshka attaches clothespins of the corresponding color according to the number of circles. The game is well suited for children learning to count.
We feed the chick . Meet Gosha, the always hungry chick. Mommy clothespin feeds him worms. And Antoshka helps her.
It’s easy to make such a chick; in the future it can be used not only for playing with clothespins. We cut out a beak in the lid of the jar, glued the eyes, crest and wings to double-sided tape. We use hair bands, cut laces, etc. as bugs and worms.
