Games in English classes for preschoolers
Isakova Lyudmila Vyacheslavovna
Teaching foreign languages is a very exciting and very responsible activity. New times require teachers to take a new approach to this problem. A significant role in teaching foreign languages, in particular English, belongs to the use of educational games or game exercises.
The game sharpens the mental activity of students; It is through play that children learn social functions and norms of behavior; develop comprehensively. The developmental significance of play is inherent in its very nature, because play is always about emotions. Where there is emotion, there is activity, there is attention and imagination, there is thinking.
Play is the main activity of a preschool child. During the period of schooling, the game does not disappear; it remains as a side, secondary activity along with educational activities. Using games as one of the methods of teaching a foreign language greatly facilitates the learning process, making it closer and more accessible to children. At every minute of the lesson, it is necessary to maintain children’s interest, to evoke joy, delight, and admiration through outdoor games, toys, and magical transformations.
The game is suitable for any type of lesson and type of learning, allows you to optimize the process of memorizing educational material, creates a genuine communication situation, and contributes to the development of children's communicative competence.
The game is not an end in itself, but is used in combination with other learning technologies.
Practice shows a positive impact on the educational process of all types of games: didactic, active, creative. Each game performs its own function, contributing to the accumulation of language material in the child, consolidation of previously acquired knowledge, and the formation of speech skills. Games are one of the methods of health-saving technologies.
There are six main purposes for using games in foreign language lessons:
1. formation of certain skills;
2. development of certain speech skills;
3. learning to communicate;
4. development of necessary abilities and mental functions;
5. cognition (in the sphere of the formation of language itself);
6. memorization of speech material.
The formation of communication skills in preschoolers through learning English in the form of a game contributes to the development of the ability to cooperate with each other, actively listen, develop auditory perception, and obey rules.
Through the game, a stable interest in further learning the English language is formed, as well as confidence in successfully mastering it. But I would like to note that the game has not only motivational functions.
A game is a type of social practice, an effective reproduction of life phenomena outside of a real practical setting. Game activities in English classes not only organize the communication process, but also bring it as close as possible to natural communication. The task of the teacher, according to the statement of Anatole France, is “to awaken the curiosity of children in order to satisfy it in the future.”
Games must correspond to the level of preparation of children and be necessary for completing certain lexical material. With the help of the game, pronunciation is well practiced, lexical material is activated, and listening and speaking skills are developed. With its help you can relieve psychological fatigue; it can be used to mobilize the mental efforts of children, to develop their organizational skills, instill self-discipline skills, and create an atmosphere of joy in the classroom.
The use of game moments in the classroom helps to activate the cognitive and creative activity of preschoolers, develops their thinking, memory, fosters initiative, and allows them to overcome boredom in teaching a foreign language. Games develop intelligence and attention, enrich the language and consolidate children's vocabulary, and focus attention on the nuances of their meaning. A game can make a child remember what he has learned and expand his knowledge.
The game in the lesson acts as a method of consolidating knowledge and a way of training.

Conclusion
The game is characterized by an atmosphere of enthusiasm and joy, a feeling of the feasibility of tasks - all this helps children overcome the shyness that prevents them from freely using words in a foreign language in speech, and has a beneficial effect on learning outcomes. At the same time, it is easier to assimilate language material - and at the same time a feeling of satisfaction arises - “it turns out that I can already speak on an equal basis with everyone else.”
For the teacher, the main thing to remember is that the game is only an element of the lesson, and it should serve to achieve the didactic goals of the lesson. Therefore, it is necessary to know exactly what skill or abilities are being trained in this game, what the child did not know how to do before the game and what he learned during the game.

Outdoor games used in teaching English to preschoolers
Outdoor games- the most important means of physical education for children in preschool and, especially, school age. They always require active motor actions from the players, aimed at achieving a conditional goal specified in the rules. I offer a list of games that I use in my classes.
“Where is the monkey?”
Children close their eyes and count to 10 (in English, of course). The teacher hides a toy monkey (or another, but always the same toy) in the classroom. The teacher says Open your eyes! Where is the monkey? Children are looking for a toy. The one who finds the toy is the first to shout loudly: Here it is! The winner gets to drive.
“Touch your nose”
The teacher says: Touch your nose. Children touch their nose. The teacher continues by naming different parts of the body. Children follow commands until they hear:
“Don’t touch your nose!”
In response to the Don’t command, children should freeze in place. The one who continues to perform the action is eliminated from the game.
The winner gets to drive.
"Colors"
You name a color in English, for example, red. Children must find the named color on their clothes, on the street or in the room, touch it and repeat its name.
"Bring me"
Various things are laid out in the room or outside. The presenter asks the children to bring him some thing, naming it or describing it in English. Whoever finds and brings this item first wins. Bring me a pencil….

"How I'm growing."
Children squat in a circle and say how old they are: “I am one.” I am two…”, while gradually rising higher and higher, depicting how they grow.
“You catch me”
Children stand in a circle. One child puts on a cat mask and stands behind the circle, and the other puts on a mouse mask and remains in the circle. Children say the words: “One, two, three – you catch me.” The cat tries to enter the circle and catch the mouse, but the players close the entrances in front of it. When the cat makes its way into the circle, the children immediately release the mouse from it. If the cat catches the mouse, then other children are assigned to their roles.
"Shop".
Children come to the store and buy toys, turning to the seller: “Give me a doll, please.” The seller gives the toy and says: “here you are.” The game can be played on different topics.
“Freeze.”
The players line up at the start. The presenter closes his eyes and counts out loud to three. At this time, everyone else is trying to reach the finish line. On the count of three, the presenter says “Stand still” and opens his eyes. The player whom the leader notices moving becomes the leader. Those players who reach the finish line win.
“What is your name?”
Children move to the music in a circle and sing the first verse of the song “What is your name?”. The boy or girl in the center of the circle answers them by telling them his or her name.
"What am I doing?"
Children form a circle. The leader stands in the middle of the circle and shows movements (eating, jumping, running, etc.). children must say in English what he is doing. The one who guesses first becomes the leader.
Relay race.

If the child forgets a word or pronounces it incorrectly, he should get help from a teacher. After some time, the children change cards in order to remember other words. The time allotted for the game is determined by the teacher.

— a page with all the basic materials for teaching English to children) . Using various games in the classroom is very effective for memorizing new words and grammatical structures. Lessons based on the principle of play are best suited for working with children, as they are much more interesting for younger students.
What types of games are there?
Educational games for learning Englishthere are different types. They are all good in their own way. They can be alternated, or one or another type of game can be used depending on the age and preferences of the students. Games can be used to repeat and consolidate the material covered, as well as to expand the vocabulary of older students and give them the opportunity to develop speech (for example, in role-playing games).
Outdoor games
Outdoor games occupy a special place in the educational process of preschoolers and primary schoolchildren. It is still difficult for first and second graders to focus their attention for a long time, so outdoor games are ideal in this case. They allow you to switch and relax in order to maintain attention at the proper level.
- For example, ball games. To reinforce vocabulary on the topic of food in elementary school, you can play “ Eatable-Uneatable"("Edible - inedible"). The teacher throws a ball to the student and says the names of foods or inedible things in English. If the object is edible, you need to catch it, and if not, then don’t catch it. The higher the level of the students, the more different words can be involved in the game. In addition, it is possible to organize work on other topics using the same principle. This game is easy to play as a child at home or while traveling.
- Another fun game for schoolchildren 1- 2 classes — « Colors" The teacher calls a color, and the students must find a thing of the same color in the room and touch it.
- You can play the game " Owl" It is identical to the Russian game, only all commands are given in English. They choose a driver and an owl. There are two main commands - “Day!” and "Night!" When the leader gives everyone else playing the command “Day!” and, for example, “Dogs run!”, all players must depict the required animal, it can be different. When the command “Night” is given, everyone must freeze, and the “owl” catches everyone who moves, and they are eliminated from the game. The more children participate in the game, the more interesting it is and the longer it lasts.
- For 5th grade schoolchildren and older people will enjoy the game " Memes" The presenter thinks of a word, which the student must show with gestures without using speech. The one who guesses it shows the next word. Children must guess and ask questions in English only. You can gradually introduce more complex words or guess words in two teams against time.
Role-playing games
Role-playing games are suitable for more advanced levels. Such games help to simulate the situation of direct communication in the classroom and motivate students to actively express themselves.
- The most popular and simple game often played by children in America, Simon Says. One of the children plays the role of Simon and gives tasks to the other children. They must carry them out when the instruction is preceded by the phrase “Simon says”, and not when it is not. Those who are inattentive are eliminated from the game. Gradually it is worth increasing the pace of the game and complicating the tasks. Since children in Russia are not native speakers, this game is suitable for older children, starting from 3 classes or 4 classes , and the tasks themselves could be simpler.
Examples of tasks:
Simon says walk like a penguin.
Simon says start singing.
Simon says stand on one foot.
More tasks can be foundin this video :
More complex role-playing games are intended for schoolchildren who are already able to construct statements and maintain a dialogue on a given topic. Examples of such games can be found in any textbook.
- For example, student #1 should play the role of a journalist who interviews student #2. Or one plays the role of a seller in a store, and the other a buyer, etc. It all depends on the language level of the students and the imagination of the teacher.
- Role-playing games also include acting out dialogues and skits, so if possible, you can organize a small school theater.
Board games
To desktop games include a variety of puzzles and other activities with words. To make puzzles, you need to write phrases on a piece of paper and cut them into two parts so that you can then connect the beginning with the end (you can do it temporarily). You can make cards with words in English and their translation, put them in a hat and play with two teams. The team that collects the most language pairs in a certain amount of time wins.
- Another game popular among English teachers is " Word Race" It is played in two teams. A specific topic is given, and each team must name as many words as possible on this topic. The game is suitable for older students and perfectly activates vocabulary.
- Board games for the whole family are very popular Brainbox. Each set contains word cards, an hourglass, a die and game rules. With the help of this toy, children and parents will be able to memorize new words in a fun and enjoyable way. Such sets are available for different ages and audiences - on Ozone ( here ) you can buy this game at a discount. And in this video you will learn about the rules in it:

Games are a fun and entertaining way to learn a foreign language. However, they are good as an addition to the main material and do not teach practically anything new on their own. They are best used as a supplement or used during a short break during the lesson.
I hope you found some interesting ideas for using games to learn English. See you again on my blog!
Using games in English classes with preschoolers in kindergarten
Description: This development is intended for English language teachers working with preschool children. This material can be used by teachers in English classes in kindergarten.
Introduction
Play, as we know, is the main activity of a preschool child. It serves as a kind of common language for all the children. Using games as one of the methods of teaching a foreign language greatly facilitates the learning process, making it closer and more accessible to children.
At every minute of the lesson, it is necessary to maintain children’s interest, to evoke joy, delight, and admiration through outdoor games, toys, and magical transformations.
The game is suitable for any type of lesson and type of learning, allows you to optimize the process of memorizing educational material, creates a genuine communication situation, and contributes to the development of children's communicative competence.
The game is not an end in itself, but is used in combination with other learning technologies.
Practice shows a positive impact on the educational process of all types of games: didactic, active, creative. Each game performs its own function, contributing to the accumulation of language material in the child, consolidation of previously acquired knowledge, and the formation of speech skills. Games are one of the methods of health-saving technologies.
Games are used for various purposes:
when introducing and consolidating knowledge of vocabulary and models of a foreign language;
for the formation of skills and abilities of oral speech;
as a form of independent communication for children in a foreign language.
Practice shows that the formation of communication skills in preschoolers through learning English in the form of games contributes to the development of the ability to cooperate with each other, actively listen, develop auditory perception, and obey rules
1. Gaming activities as the main component of English classes
“When a child plays, he always strives to go forward, not backward. In games, children seem to do everything together: their subconscious, their mind, their imagination “work” synchronously.”
(A.N. Simonova)
I, like every teacher, want my children to successfully learn English and engage in classes with interest and desire. Parents of children are also interested in this.
And I set myself a goal - to promote the formation of cognitive interest in preschoolers in English classes by using game methods as a means of activating cognitive activity in English classes.
In preschool age, the leading activity is play, in which the child learns about the world around him. Using gaming technologies in English classes, you can achieve several goals at once:
expand and consolidate the studied lexical and grammatical material;
develop children's speech skills;
develop memory, attention, intelligence, imagination of children;
create an atmosphere of search and creativity in the classroom;
develop creative activity, initiative, creativity of children;
teach cooperation in diverse groups;
relieve emotional stress and monotony.
The game builds a strong interest in further learning the English language, as well as confidence in successfully mastering it. But I would like to note that the game has not only motivational functions.
A game is a type of social practice, an effective reproduction of life phenomena outside of a real practical setting. Game activities in English classes not only organize the communication process, but also bring it as close as possible to natural communication. The task of the teacher, according to the statement of Anatole France, is “to awaken the curiosity of children in order to satisfy it in the future.”
Games must correspond to the level of preparation of children and be necessary for completing certain lexical material. With the help of the game, pronunciation is well practiced, lexical material is activated, and listening and speaking skills are developed. With its help you can relieve psychological fatigue; it can be used to mobilize the mental efforts of children, to develop their organizational skills, instill self-discipline skills, and create an atmosphere of joy in the classroom.
The use of game moments in the classroom helps to activate the cognitive and creative activity of preschoolers, develops their thinking, memory, fosters initiative, and allows them to overcome boredom in teaching a foreign language. Games develop intelligence and attention, enrich the language and consolidate children's vocabulary, and focus attention on the nuances of their meaning. A game can make a child remember what he has learned and expand his knowledge.
At the beginning of the lesson, I conduct phonetic games “Tongue on a walk”, “Pass the sound”, “Breeze”, “Last sound”, “Sound”, “Words” or role-playing - when a guest comes to class and the children get to know him, using previously studied speech patterns “Hello! How are you?
In the middle of the lesson I also use a selection of games that are appropriate to the theme of the lesson and the age of the children. There can be any games here - didactic and role-playing, active, business, etc.
Phonetic games occupy a large place in the collection of games. And the first place here is given to fairy tales-exercises on articulatory gymnastics. Everyone has one of these in their piggy bank, or even more than one. The heroes of such fairy tales are Tongue, Bee, Snake, Breeze and simply magical animals. What these fairy tales have in common is that they are all excellent helpers for practicing the pronunciation of difficult sounds, and their undeniable advantages are the ability to compose a fairy tale based on the characteristics of the group as a whole and taking into account the individual characteristics of children, as well as the ability to take into account the urgent needs of learning. Gradually, the role of the storyteller can be transferred to those children who are better at difficult sounds, and an element of competition can be included.

Conclusion
The educational goal of the “Entertaining English” program for preschool age is to teach children the basics of English phonetics, initial English speaking skills for solving basic communicative problems in English within the framework of the topics proposed by the program. Games provide great assistance in achieving this goal. Their use gives good results, increases the children’s interest in the lesson, and allows them to concentrate their attention on the main thing - mastering speech skills in the process of a natural situation, communication during the game.
The use of playful moments in English classes helps to activate the cognitive and creative activity of children, develops their thinking, memory, fosters initiative, and allows them to overcome boredom in learning a foreign language. Games develop intelligence and attention, enrich the language and strengthen the vocabulary of preschoolers, and focus attention on the nuances of their meaning. A game can make a child remember what he has learned and expand his knowledge.
The game is characterized by an atmosphere of enthusiasm and joy, a feeling of the feasibility of tasks - all this helps children overcome the shyness that prevents them from freely using words in a foreign language in speech, and has a beneficial effect on learning outcomes. At the same time, it is easier to assimilate language material - and at the same time a feeling of satisfaction arises - “it turns out that I can already speak on an equal basis with everyone else.”
For the teacher, the main thing to remember is that the game is only an element of the lesson, and it should serve to achieve the didactic goals of the lesson. Therefore, it is necessary to know exactly what skill or abilities are being trained in this game, what the child did not know how to do before the game and what he learned during the game.
