Instead of a sandbox: TOP-3 educational games during a walk

If you are tired of collecting scattered toys, running around the crumbs all over the park or answering dozens of tricky questions - try to seize the initiative. Exciting games develop attention, memory and logical thinking, and, importantly, make it easy and fun!

"Labyrinth with obstacles." Lay out with the baby on the path or sidewalk various objects - pebbles, twigs, brought from the house of toys - at a distance from each other. Invite the child to pass between "obstacles" on the scooter or walk on foot, trying not to hurt or drop them. "Labyrinth" trains dexterity, strengthens the skill of coordination and concentration. Gradually, the game can be complicated - to increase the number of items, duration and complexity of the "route".

"The Fox in the Cage." Draw a crayon on the sidewalk that consists of 10-12 squares in contact with each other. You are a "fox" and are in the center of the cage, and the kid is a "trainer": he commands where you move. Left, right, side, back, forward - permissible actions. If the child is mistaken (indicates an impossible direction) - the "fox" comes out of the cage and catches the "trainer". The game develops spatial thinking and logic.

"Album with memories." Going for a walk, offer the kid to collect "memories" of a small trip - grass blades, flowers, fallen leaves, cones and acorns, beautiful pebbles can become treasures for the future "album". Take care of a beautiful box or notebook for small things - let the kid come up with a story about a walk, reviewing them. Such an exercise will help improve memory, attention, imagination and creativity.
