6.Search for connecting links

Time: 10 min

Two objects are specified, for example, “shovel” and “car”. It is necessary to name objects that are, as it were, a “transition bridge” from the first to the second. The named objects must have a clear logical connection with both given objects. For example, in this case it could be an “excavator” (similar in function to a shovel, but with a car it is included in the same group - vehicles), a “worker” (he digs with a shovel and at the same time is the owner of the car). It is also possible to use two or three connecting links (“shovel” - “wheelbarrow” - “trailer” - “car”). Particular attention is paid to a clear justification and disclosure of the content of each connection between adjacent elements of the chain. The winner is the one who gave the most reasoned solutions.

Exercises to develop convergent thinking:

1. Mixed up letters

Time: 5 min

There are words in which the order of the letters is deliberately mixed up. Which one is superfluous: rosip, evshal, nanba, solam, club?

2. Alphabet

Time: 5 min

Make words from all the letters of the alphabet so that not a single letter is repeated. Eg:

1) congress, cake, heron, howl, yuft, chic, puppy, erg, forelock;

2) endgame, mattress, borscht, workshop, tug, owl, ah.

3. Similarities and differences

Time: 15 min

Students are asked to compare different objects and concepts with each other. For younger schoolchildren, this is a comparison of well-known objects: milk and water, a cow and a horse, an airplane and a train, and their image can also be used. For older children, the concepts may be more complex: painting and photography, morning and evening, stubbornness and perseverance. Note the total number of correct answers, the number of errors (comparison on various grounds), the ratio of marked similarities and differences, the predominant characteristics (external, functional, class-generic relations, etc.). The winner is the one who offered more reasons for comparison or the one who named the last sign.

4.Chain

Time: 5 min

Make up chains of words that allow you (by changing just one letter each time) to move from the initial word to the given final word. For example, as from the word five do seven:

five - path - essence - network - seven.

Or convert a shield into a sword: shield - whale - cat - sweat - mole - chalk - sword.

From toad - fish: toad - slave - fish. From a crow - a cow: crow - crown - cow. From day - night: day - canopy - mudflow - salt - zero - night.

Now try to build the following series of words yourself: cancer - whale, bridge - river, mushroom - gnome, spider - fly, wolf - tiger. Remember, the shorter the chain of words, the more interesting it is. You can turn this into a game where there are two or more participants.

5.Armed sea inhabitants

Time: 5 min

Name 3 representatives of sea animals that have one common weapon of defense against enemies, unique to them. What are they called and what kind of weapon is it that makes them dangerous even to humans?

Answer: Stingray, electric catfish and electric eel, which have the ability to generate electricity in their body.

6.Who is how old?

Time: 10 min

Ivan, Peter, Semyon and their wives Olga, Irina and Anna are all 151 years old. Moreover, each husband is 5 years older than his wife.

Ivan is 1 year older than Irina; Olga and Ivan are 48 years old together, and Semyon and Olga are 52 years old together.

It is proposed to find out who each of them is married to and how old each of them is.

Answer: Semyon is 30 and Irina is 25; Ivan is 26 and Anna is 21; Peter is 27 and Olga is 22.

Exercises to develop divergent thinking:

1.Snowball

Time: 5 min

Take a close look at the following series of words: hell - lad - treasure - boat - deck - chocolate.

Six common nouns taken in their original form. Each subsequent one consists of the same letters as the previous one, plus one more letter. And the order within the word does not matter. Here are a few more such chains of words:

1) pa - pat - trap - tapir - party - therapy - trapezoid.

2) ar - steam - turnip - seal - feather bed - soaring - weir.

3) ac - sat - skat - taxi - onslaught - asthenic - wandering - synthetics - antiseptic

Come up with a few of your own chains.

2. Word squares.

Time: 5 min

There is an old game with words. You need to write different words in the square cells (3x3 or 4x4) so that they can be read both vertically and horizontally. Make your own word squares.

3. Search for opposite objects

Time: 5 min

An object is called, for example, “house”. It is necessary to name as many other objects as possible that are opposite to this one. In this case, one should focus on the various characteristics of the object and systematize its opposites (antipodes) into groups. For example, in this case they can be called: “barn” (the opposite in size and degree of comfort): “field” (open or closed space), “station” (someone else’s or one’s premises), etc. The winner is the one who indicated the largest number of groups of opposite objects, clearly justifying the answers.

The task is aimed at comparing objects, searching for the properties of an object.

4.Drawing up proposals

Time: 10 min

Three words that are not related in meaning are taken at random, for example, “lake”, “pencil” and “bear”. You need to make as many sentences as possible that would necessarily include these three words (you can change their case and use other words). Answers can be banal (“The bear dropped a pencil into the lake”), complex, with going beyond the situation indicated by three words, and introducing new objects (“The boy took a pencil and drew a bear swimming in the lake”), and creative, including these objects in non-standard connections (“A boy, thin as a pencil, stood near a lake that roared like a bear”).

In this game, as in others, it is important for the presenter to establish, and for the players to find, a “golden” mean between the quantity and quality of answers. It is necessary, on the one hand, to stimulate a large number of any diverse answers, and on the other hand, to encourage original, creative answers.

A prerequisite for the effectiveness of these games is the comparison and discussion by the players of all the proposed answers and a detailed justification for why they liked or did not like this or that answer.

This task is aimed at establishing connections, generalization, and creating holistic images.

5.Search for connecting links

Time: 10 min

Two objects are specified, for example, “shovel” and “car”. It is necessary to name objects that are, as it were, a “transition bridge” from the first to the second. The named objects must have a clear logical connection with both given objects. For example, in this case it could be an “excavator” (similar in function to a shovel, but with a car it is included in the same group - vehicles), a “worker” (he digs with a shovel and at the same time is the owner of the car). It is also possible to use two or three connecting links (“shovel” - “wheelbarrow” - “trailer” - “car”). Particular attention is paid to a clear justification and disclosure of the content of each connection between neighboring elements of the chain. The winner is the one who gave the most reasoned solutions.

The task makes it easy to establish connections between objects and phenomena.

6.List of possible reasons

Time: 10 min

Some unusual situation is described, for example: “Having returned from the store, you discovered that the door of your apartment was open.” It is necessary to name as quickly as possible more reasons for this fact and possible explanations. The reasons may be banal (“I forgot to close the door”, “Thieves broke in”), but we should not discard the unlikely ones (“The Arrival of the Martians”). The winner is the one who named the most diverse reasons.

The task is aimed at breadth of thinking and comprehensive analysis.

Exercises to develop flexibility of thinking:

Time: 15 min

I. Changing habitual time connections

1. A technique for separating one phenomenon from another in a time series familiar to a person (for example, imagine thunder without lightning, etc. and describe what this means - “shot”).

2. The technique of replacing the usual time order with the exact opposite (reverse, for example, thunder - lightning).

3. The technique of rare reduction of time intervals between certain events (for example, reduce the period from birth to death to one day and compose a plot of this day, describe the dialogue between Aristotle and Newton, a man of the present and a man of the future).

4. The technique of moving along the entire time axis of the existence of some object (for example, a TV - its role in the present, change in the future, prototypes in the past).

II. Changing habitual spatial connections

1. The technique of replacing familiar spatial connections with unusual ones (for example, a car - on / under - a road).

2. A technique for combining various objects that are usually separated in space (a blade of grass - a fountain pen, a berry - a picture, etc.).

3. The technique of separating facts that are usually connected in space (a fish without water, a store without money).

III. Changing the usual community connections

1. The method of logical subtraction of a general attribute from objects (from the objects “earth” and “ball” the attribute “roundness” is logically subtracted - a flat earth and what happens on it).

2. The technique of strengthening connections by commonality (or action) between initially heterogeneous objects. It is necessary to bring them to mutual transformation, to find ways of rapprochement: “rain” and “rocket” - fall to the ground; decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen -> rocket fuel.

3. The technique of replacing habitual relationships with the exact opposite (for example: smoke is healthier than clean air).

IV. Changing habitual action transformation connections

1. Method of separating actions: depriving an object of the ability to perform habitual actions, transformations (a car that does not transport anything, a load that weighs nothing, food that is not satiated).

2. A technique for obtaining some result without the usual source of action (a house was built without builders, a concert without artists).

3. The technique of blocking the “expected result in the usual structure of action” (the car transports a person, but he remains in the same place).

4. Technique of changing the usual direction of action (smoke is poisonous to a person, a person is poisonous to smoke, or the cold is hiding from a person).

5. Strengthening some property of an object an unlimited number of times to an unusual scale (a bus that carries not 50, but 100,000 people).

6. The technique of changing the main property of an object in the direction of strengthening or weakening (house - tent - hut - awning).

7. Technique for composing plots based on pre-selected objects: a group of related objects is taken, roles are given to participants who must act out the plot in order to express their capabilities as clearly as possible (airplane, passenger, flight attendant).

8. Technique for forming new objects from existing ones (build a new synthetic object).

Exercises to develop perception:

1. Telegram

Time: 3 min

The following letter combinations are often found in telegrams: ZPT, TChK, KVCH. This is how comma, period, and quotation marks are written in abbreviation. The technique that is used here is omitting vowels.

Letters are also missing in the phrases below. Enter them into the text to make it clear:

Kshk ducked behind his mouse. Tsly day t brdl p ls. What a wonderful color! VVK nstpl n klchk. Sklk here chlk. In ksms pltt sml. Khrshnek comes to him. Did you cry? V vgn bl ng ldy.

2. Cipher

Time: 3 min

If you take any sentence, for example, “Victor was asked to return the book,” and arrange the spaces in it differently, you will get an interesting cipher: “In Victor Apopros or return the books from.”

Encrypt several sentences in this way and ask a friend to unravel what is written.

3. "read it backwards"

Time: 3 min

4. Missing letters

Time: 10 min

If some letter, say “l,” disappeared from the Russian alphabet, a lot of unusual words could arise, for example: koba (flask), pash (cloak), baon (balloon), sovo (word).

Determine which letter is missing in the following words and read them correctly: cat, put, sweat, koido, ing, shtoa, pata, kishka.

Compose a short story in this way and ask “to translate it into Russian.”

Let us now remove not one, but two letters from our alphabet. Determine which letters are removed in the following words and read them correctly: ovo, he, oido, eza, hellish, aty, ledviye, it, payen, ponayshke, komomosky.

Write another story using words from. Offer to translate it to your comrades on the condition of who is faster.

5. What words are these?

Time: 5 min

The letters are missing from the nouns: .ur.al, t.eto., l.st.a, .blok., .erev., ig.a, k.ut, .omoshch.ik, t..va, ..opka .

6. Next letter

Time: 3 min

2. But ly zeb ryem dlymua ad mynzoor.

11.Numbers and letters

Time: 3 min

Here is one of the most difficult and at the same time one of the simplest ciphers, for example: the number 275 can be written like this: chipboard.

Read the encrypted series: odtchpshsvdd.

Answer: the numbers are encrypted with the first letters of their names - now the letter series turns into numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.

Exercises to develop attention:

1. “disturbing” and “attentive”

Time: 15 min

Participants are divided into two groups: “interfering” and “attentive”. “Attentive” ones are placed by the leader along the perimeter of the hall, facing the center, and receive distinctive insignia (armbands, ties, etc.). They are given instructions:

“Your task is to portray, to play, like an actor, to enter into the role of a person who is completely focused on some kind of internal work and does not notice his surroundings (the presenter shows the facial expression of a person with an empty, absent look). You must get used to this role and, standing with your eyes open and your ears open, not notice what others are doing. To make it easier for you to cope with the task, try to vividly imagine that you are watching an exciting movie or taking part in a dangerous journey. Be consistent in your role: when the exercise ends (at the command “stop”) and you are questioned, assert and convince others that you were really absorbed in your thoughts and did not see or hear anything. Clear? Those who interfere will receive a task during the exercise. Ready? Let's start!

The exercise lasts 5-15 minutes. During this time, the leader, together with the “interferers,” organize a series of provocative actions. They chant slogans, appeals, act out skits, tell jokes, stage the end of classes and leaving the hall, pretend to be animals, ask the “attentive” for alms, and so on. At the same time, the leader makes sure that the actions of the “interferers” do not turn out to be too effective. He forbids touching the “attentive” and at critical moments helps them maintain their role. Then the command “Stop” follows and the discussion begins. The exercise should be used in already established groups where there is an atmosphere of creative enthusiasm.

2.Exercise “My favorite fruit”

Time: 8 min

The exercise allows the facilitator to create a working mood in the group; memory is also developed and the ability to concentrate for a long time is developed.

Group members introduce themselves in a circle. Having identified themselves by name, each participant names their favorite fruit; the second - the name of the previous one and his favorite fruit, his name and his favorite fruit; the third - the names of the previous two and the names of their favorite fruits, and then your name and your favorite fruit, etc. The latter, therefore, must name the names of the favorite fruits of all group members.

3. Exercise “My Birthday”

Time: 10 min

The exercise will develop memory and the ability to concentrate for long periods of time.

The group members, as in the previous version, take turns saying their names, but each participant adds the date of their birthday to their name. The second is the name of the previous one and the date of his birthday, his name and the date of his birthday, the third is the names and birthdays of the two previous ones and his name and the date of his birthday, etc. The latter, therefore, must name the names and birthdays of all members of the group.

4. Exercise “I won’t get lost”

Time: 5 min

Exercise to develop concentration and distribution of attention

Tasks: count out loud from 1 to 31, but the test taker should not name numbers that include three or multiples of three. Instead of these numbers, he should say: “I won’t go astray.” For example: “One, two, I won’t get lost, four, five, I won’t get lost...”

Sample correct count: 1, 2, -, 4, 5, -, 7, 8, -, 10, 11, -, -, 14, -, 16, 17, -, 19, 20, -, 22, -, -, 25, 26, -, 28, 29, -, - _the line replaces numbers that cannot be pronounced).

5. Exercise “Observation”

Time: 10 min

Exercise to develop visual attention. This game reveals the connections between attention and visual memory.

They are asked to describe in detail the courtyard from memory, the path from one office to another - something that they have seen hundreds of times. Such descriptions are made orally, and their classmates fill in the missing details.

Exercises to develop imagination:

Time: 5 min

The poet V. Mayakovsky, like no one else, loved neologisms, which he himself loved to create:

"I love our plans hulk. Let's go, poet, we look, Let's sing. Party - hand million-fingered. But a strange thing flowed from the sun. Dark lead-nosed. Centangular"giant".

It is not difficult to see that the highlighted words come from well-known words: bulk - bulk, dawn - we gaze, a million fingers - million-fingered, clearly, leaden night - leaden night.

Take roots from already known words, come up with a dozen new words using the same pattern and make sentences with them.

2. "Burim"

Time: 5 min

"Burim"(translated from French) means a poem, usually of a humorous nature, with predetermined rhymes, which cannot be rearranged or changed and which must be connected by a meaningful text. This literary game originated in France in the seventeenth century. How is it played?

Let's say the poet is given the rhyme "silence - spring." After thinking a little, he immediately produces a couplet:

Suddenly the silence disappeared:

Spring has come across the earth!

Or this:

Everything fell silent. Silence.

Where are you, tell me, spring?

Come up with your own burimes to rhyme: “dew - heaven”; "dog - brought"; "fairy tale paints"; "wind-moths"; "near the river - deep"; “in the forest - I’ll bring it”, “sorcerers - not scary”, “cold - by the window”.

3. Limerick

Time: 5 min

- Limerick is the English version of organized and legalized nonsense. E. Lear's limericks are famous. Here is one of them:

Once upon a time there was an old marsh man,

A cantankerous and burdensome grandfather,

He sat on the deck,

Sang songs to the little frog

A corrosive old man from the swamp.

According to this scheme (the first line is the choice of the hero, the second is an indication of his character trait manifested in the action, the third and fourth is the action itself, the fifth is the choice of the final epithet that parodies the content of the image). Create your own limericks.

4.What is it?

Time: 10 min

Show off your creativity. Come up with 3-5 different options for describing what is shown in the picture.

5. Miracles of technology

Time: 10 min

The presenter invites the participants to imagine that the group is at an exhibition of the latest technology. Wonderful everyday objects are displayed here - tangible, but almost invisible. The presenter defiantly rummages in his pockets and “finds” a box of matches. He then makes several expressive movements, moving the invisible box from one hand to the other, opening and closing it. The presenter lights a non-existent match and passes it to someone from the group. Then he asks someone to light the ultra-modern match himself. Gradually, all participants become involved in the game: someone sews a non-existent button onto a transparent shirt, someone sharpens an invisible pencil, etc. Participants guess who is doing what.

Memory development exercises:

1. Exercise “The most attentive”

Time: 10 min

Exercise to develop visual attention and memory.

Participants must stand in a semicircle and identify the driver. The driver tries to remember the order of the players for a few seconds. Then, on command, he turns away and names the order in which his comrades stand. All players in turn must take the place of the driver. It is worth awarding applause to those who do not make a mistake.

2. Exercise “Telephone”

Time: 10 min

Exercise to develop auditory attention and auditory memory.

The verbal message is whispered around the circle until it returns to the first player.

Fairy tale "Bubble, straw and bast shoe"

Once upon a time there was a bubble, a straw and a bast shoe. They went into the forest to chop wood; They reached the river and don’t know how to cross it. Lapotya says to the bubble: “Bubble, let’s swim across on you?” “No,” says the bubble, “it’s better to let the straw drag itself from bank to bank, and we will cross it!”

The straw was pulled; the bast shoe went over it, and it broke. The bast fell into the water, and the bubble began to laugh - it laughed and laughed and burst!

Relevance.

Modern educational programs place quite high demands on the level of students’ training. In this regard, the number of students experiencing problems of school maladaptation has recently increased.

The new Federal State Educational Standard of General Education is aimed at providing conditions for the effective implementation and development by students of the basic educational program of general secondary education, including providing conditions for the individual development of students. Students who have difficulty adapting to learning need psychological assistance from support service specialists in order to successfully master the main educational program and achieve successful personal development.

Personal development in the education system is ensured primarily by the formation of universal learning activities (ULAs), which serve as the basis of the educational and educational process. In the Federal State Educational Standard, the term “universal learning activities” is defined as a set of methods of action of a student (as well as associated learning skills) that ensure his ability to independently acquire new knowledge and skills, including the organization of this process. In addition, conducting the State Exam and the Unified State Exam poses the task of forming mental processes, personal characteristics and behavioral skills necessary for successfully passing exams. Successful formation of the UUD is a necessary condition for successfully passing the State Examination and the Unified State Examination.

The main types of UUD are divided into four blocks: 1) personal, 2) regulatory, 3) cognitive, 4) communicative. Successful adaptation to learning is possible only if all of the above types of learning activities are fully formed. For most students, the process of forming a UUD successfully occurs during their studies in primary school.

However, a number of students, for various reasons, have difficulties in the cognitive sphere, in interpersonal communication, insufficiently formed self-regulation of behavior, and personal problems. Successful development of learning skills in these students is possible only if they are provided with timely psychological assistance. In order to provide psychological assistance in the development of learning skills for these students, methodological recommendations on the development of cognitive abilities for children with mental developmental disabilities were developed.

The use of these exercises involves the development of the following cognitive processes: attention, memory and thinking.

Exercises to develop attention span.

"Find the numbers"

Equipment: stopwatch, pointer, digital tables with numbers (the number of numbers changes as the amount of attention increases from lesson to lesson).

Instructions: “Now I will show tables with numbers. You need to find the numbers in ascending (descending) order as quickly as possible, starting from one. You have to point them out with a pointer and name them out loud.” (Appendix1,2)

"Button"

Two people play. Children have two identical sets of buttons in front of them, not a single button is repeated. Each player has a playing field - a square divided into cells. The beginner places 3 buttons on his field, the second player must look and remember where each button is. After this, the first player covers his playing field with a sheet of paper, and the second must place buttons on his playing field.

The more cells and buttons used in a game, the more difficult the game becomes.

Tasks to develop attention span using verbal material.

Equipment: cards with the following content:

Exercise 1

Sets of words containing from 3 to 9 consonants, for example:

DPV ShGS

RCBL KTCM

ZHKPRCH DZNTK

KPTNSD SHRVTBC

Task 2

Familiar words of your native language containing from 4 to 16 letters, for example:

TABLE, CUP, CAR, CANDY, PENCIL, TV, TAPE PLAYER, CONSTRUCTOR, CYCLIST.

Task 3

Offers. Containing from 5 to 16 letters, for example:

I'M RUNNING WHAT YOU ARE

LET ME FLOAT

SMOKE IS LAZY FOR ME

THE COURTYARD IS CLEAN ONE WARRIOR

WHAT TO DO THE BIRD IS SINGING

LEARNING – THE LIGHT OF WORK – TIME

Cards for each task are shown in ascending order of the number of letters. The child’s task is to remember and reproduce the presented letters, words or phrases.

Tasks for the development of attention distribution.

Reading a short sentence.The child is asked to read a short sentence. Reading is accompanied by soft tapping of a pencil on the table. The child must remember the text and count the number of beats.
Crossing out letters. The child is asked to cross out 1 or 2 letters in the text and at the same time they play a children's record with a fairy tale. Then they check how many letters the child missed when crossing out, and ask him to tell what he heard and understood from the fairy tale.

Distribution of numbers in a certain order. The left table contains 25 numbers from 1 to 40. You need to rewrite them in ascending order into the empty table on the right, starting to fill it out from the upper left square.
"Find the words".

Equipment: cards with letters, among which you need to find hidden words.

Tasks for the development of attention switching.

“Each hand has its own job.”

With your left hand, slowly leaf through a book with illustrations for one minute (memorizing them), and with your right hand, draw geometric figures or solve simple examples.

"Red-black tables".

Equipment: tables with black and red numbers in different locations.

The lesson includes three stages:

Stage 1 – look at the table and find in order all the black numbers from 1 to 12;

Stage 2 – look at the table and find all the red numbers in reverse order;

Stage 3 – you need to alternately look for black numbers in direct order, and red numbers in reverse order.

After the child has satisfactory results in finding the number of numbers suggested above, their number can be increased to 16, then to 24, then to 40, etc.

Proofreading taskswith alternating rules for crossing out letters.
"Search non-stop".

The task is to see around you as many objects of the same color (or the same size, shape, material, etc.) within 10-15 seconds. At the teacher’s signal, one child begins the list, the others complement it.

MEMORY DEVELOPMENT

Exercise “Logically unrelated text”

To memorize 20 words, 40 seconds are given, after which you should hang up what you memorized. The answer is considered correct if both the serial number and the word itself are indicated correctly. Multiplying the number of correct answers by 5, we get the memory efficiency as a percentage

Exercise "Numbers".

In 40 seconds you need to remember 20 numbers and their serial numbers.

Memorization efficiency is calculated in the same way as in the previous exercise.

Exercise “Logically connected text”.

The task is given to remember 10 main provisions highlighted in the following text. You need to read the exercise and after a minute reproduce the content of the main provisions in the given order. Multiply the number of correct answers by 10 and get the percentage of memorization efficiency.

Text: We take other people’s thoughts and titles for safekeeping (1), that’s all. You must, however, make them your own (2). We are like a man who, in need of fire, went to his neighbor to get it and, finding a beautiful, bright fire, began to warm himself at someone else’s fireplace (3), forgetting about his intention to light a fireplace at home. What is the use of filling our belly with beef if we do not digest it (4), if it is not transformed into the tissues of our body, if it does not add weight and strength to us? Or perhaps we think that Lucullus, who became acquainted with military affairs only from books and became such a prominent commander, despite the lack of personal experience, studied it in our way? We rely on other people's hands with such force that in the end we become weak (5). Do I want to overcome the fear of death? I do this at the expense of Seneca (6). Am I trying to console others? I draw from Cicero (7). Meanwhile, I could turn to myself for this (8) if I had been properly educated. No, I don’t like this very relative wealth, collected from the world bit by bit. And if you can be a scientist by someone else’s learning (9), then we can only be wise by our own wisdom (10).

(Michel de Montaigne)

Development of verbal memory

To develop verbal memory in adolescents, you can use the following exercise:

Considering the fact that human memory is structured like a vessel, the amount of incoming information is limited. The number of words reproduced constitutes the most acquired knowledge, and, therefore, an increase in their number will increase the level of learning success.

The task of adults, teachers, and parents is to increase the vocabulary of teenagers,

related to certain areas of knowledge.

Exercise "Vocabulary"

instructions for a teenager:You should write down as many words as possible related to the topic:

1) school, 2) mathematics, (maybe chemistry, physics, biology, etc., 3) music 4) books, 5) art. 6) seasons, 7) ethics, 8) sports, 9) composers, 10) writers, 11) scientists, etc.

Each topic is given 5 minutes

These topics can not be given all at once, but 2-3 at a time.

If on the topic of music, students aged 8-9 years reproduce on average about 7 words, then 15-year-old teenagers - already 37 words, on the topic of literature this figure is respectively 3 and 28 words, on the topic of painting - 3.7 and 20.5 words.

Exercise “Remember words”

Participants are divided into pairs.

Conditions: each partner takes a piece of paper and writes any 20 words. While teenagers write, they need to remember them. There is a time limit of 1 minute.

After this, the participants exchange pieces of paper and check how well each of them remembers the words he wrote down.

The number of words that are reproduced is recorded. The presenter must determine who took 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

Exercise "Objects"

Participants are divided into 2 teams. A driver is selected from each team. Members of each team place one item on the table. The driver looks and remembers who put what object. After this, each driver must answer the question: who put what object and in what order.

The presenter evaluates the results of the drivers' answers. Each team member must act as a driver.

Exercise “Memorize by drawing”

Participants sit at tables.

The presenter prepares 20 words in advance. Each participant in the game prepares a pen and a piece of paper in advance. The presenter calls the words sequentially. After each named word, he counts to 3. During this time, the participants in the game must have time to sketch this word using any drawing to remember. Let the drawing be incomprehensible to others, as long as the participant in the game can then name the words in order. Whoever remembers the most words wins.

Exercise "Snowball"

Participants in the game sit in a circle

conditions: The first participant names any word, for example, pencil, the next one must repeat this word and must name any of his own, for example, forest. The third participant repeats the two previous words: pencil and forest, names his own, etc.

Thus, at the end of the game there is a winner who has the most outstanding memory.

The game can be started several times.

Exercise “Familiar Terms”

This exercise will help you remember as many words as possible - terms belonging to one group.

Participants sit in a circle

conditions: The presenter explains that the participants will have to select terms. Moreover, the first one names the term and gives the topic: geometry. The first one is called a “parallelepiped”. The second one repeats “parallelepiped” and calls it “triangle”. The third repeats “parallelepiped” and “triangle” and calls “straight line”, etc.

The teenager who forgets the words named before him or does not name his own is eliminated from the game.

The last one standing wins.

Exercise “Poets and Writers”

This exercise develops the memory and thinking of adolescents, and also broadens their horizons.

Participants sit in a circle.

If one of the players names a word that ends with a letter that does not begin with the surname of any writer/poet, or cannot remember the required surname, he is eliminated from the game.

The last one standing wins.

Exercise “Objects in Action”

This

Participants sit in a circle.

conditions: The presenter suggests a noun, and each of the participants in the game takes turns calling one verb that goes with this noun. One of the participants who cannot name a verb that has a suitable meaning is eliminated from the game. You can't repeat yourself.

The last one standing wins.

Exercise "Antonyms"

The exercise develops the memory and thinking of teenagers.

Participants sit in a circle.

conditions: The presenter names an adjective, for example, “cold.” Players in a circle will have to name antonyms for this word. You can't repeat yourself. Anyone who cannot name the antonym is eliminated from the game.

The last one standing wins.

Exercise “Antonyms and synonyms”

The exercise develops memory, thinking and attention of adolescents.

conditions: The presenter names the adjective - hot. The first participant names a synonym for a given word, and the second - an antonym, the third - a synonym, the fourth - an antonym, etc. If someone cannot find an antonym or synonym, then he leaves the circle. And the game starts again. The last one standing wins.

Exercise “Retelling in a circle”

The exercise develops the memory and thinking of teenagers.

Participants sit in a circle.

conditions: The presenter reads the text (a logical excerpt from a paragraph on history, biology, etc.). Participants listen carefully. The retelling begins with any of the players. Further clockwise. Each person speaks one sentence. Then everyone listens to the text together again, completes the retelling and corrects any mistakes made.

Exercise “Memorize the text”

The exercise develops the memory and thinking of teenagers.

Participants are divided into 2 teams.

conditions: the presenter reads the text. Participants listen carefully, and everyone must record as much information as possible on a piece of paper.

The teams then restore the texts. After this, everyone discusses the texts reproduced by both teams. Compare the results.

The team that reproduces the text more accurately wins.

Exercise “Learning text by heart”

Exercise develops memory.

Participants are divided into 2 teams.

Conditions: Each participant is given a printed text. Everyone is invited to look at the text and then reproduce it by heart. You are given 2 minutes to work with the text.

Next, each team needs to identify everyone who wants to compete. First, the 1st participant from team No. 1 comes out. Retells the text by heart until the first mistake. "Stop". Then the 1st participant from team No. 2 leaves, etc.

The player with the best memory is determined.

Exercise "Shapes"

Exercise for training visual memory.

Participants are divided into pairs. First, one in a pair lays out the matches on the table and covers them with a sheet of paper, then, lifting it for 1-2 seconds, shows the resulting figure to his friend. After looking, the second player closes his eyes and tries to count the number of matches used. Then he opens his eyes and puts out a “photographed” figure from his matches. After this, the first player picks up the sheet and checks the number and correctness of the matches with the original. Then the players change roles. As you practice, color is added to the quantity and location for memorization. You can move on to the next exercise if the participant can freely hold at least 10 matches in his imagination.

Exercises aimed at the ability to establish connections between elements of the material

Exercise "Double memory stimulation"

The exercise develops the memory and thinking of teenagers.

15-20 cards with images of individual objects are laid out in front of the teenager (for example, an apple, a trolleybus, a teapot, an airplane, a pen, a shirt, a car, a horse, a flag, a rooster, etc.). The child is told: “Now I’ll tell you a few words. Look at these pictures, choose the one from them thatwill help you remember each word, and put it aside." Then the first word is read. After the teenager puts the picture aside, the second word is read, etc. Next, he must reproduce the words presented. To do this, he takes the lines of the pictures put aside and with their help he recalls the words that were mentioned to him.

An approximate set of words: “fire”, “factory”, “cow”, “chair”, “water”, “father”, “jelly”, “sit”, “mistake”, “kindness”, etc.

Exercise "Analysis/synthesis"

The exercise develops the analytical and synthetic thinking abilities of adolescents.

The presenter gives the teenagers a few words; they need to be regrouped, combining them according to some characteristic to make it easier to memorize; and then come up with a story that would bring them together.

Air Vase Cat Hypotenuse Lynx Sun Water Triangle Bear Jug

Exercise "Concretization of the abstract"

The exercise develops associative thinking and imagination of adolescents.

The presenter gives specific visual images that can be associated with each of the words below, for example, love/heart, friendship/smile, quarrel/mornia, etc. Next, he invites teenagers to try to find associations that would connect these words. Let them record the first associations that come to mind. It is important to give space to their imagination without limiting them to logical associations. The result should be a short story. Using this exercise often, you can develop a stable skill in children.

Exercise "A special way of cramming"

The exercise is aimed at developing long-term memory.

1. Repeating a word or phrase you need to remember to yourself.

2. Wait 1 second and repeat again.

3. Wait 2 seconds and repeat again.

4. Wait 4 seconds and repeat again.

Waiting is an emotionally loaded state. Holding information in this state does not allow it to jump out; it beats and makes connections with other concepts.

5. Repeat after 10 minutes (necessary for imprinting).

6. For confident transfer into long-term memory, repeat after 2-3 hours.

7. If necessary, after 1-2 months; after 1 year.

Corrective exercises, exercises aimed at developing abstract logical thinking

Exercise "Important Signs"

Purpose of the exercise: to develop the ability to identify essential features to maintain logical judgments when solving a long series of similar problems. This exercise allows you to direct the search for a solution, activate thinking, and create a certain level of abstraction.

Teenagers are given instructions: “Now I will read you a series of words. From these words you will have to choose only two, denoting the main features of the main word, i.e., something without which this subject cannot exist. Other words are also related to the main word , but they are not the main ones. You need to find the most important words. For example, garden... Which of these words do you think are the main ones: plants, gardener, dog, fence, earth, i.e. something without which a garden cannot exist maybe? Can there be a garden without plants? Why?.. Without a gardener... a dog... a fence... land?.. Why?"

Each of the suggested words is analyzed in detail. The main thing is for teenagers to understand why this or that word is the main, essential feature of a given concept.

Sample tasks:

a) Boots (laces, sole, heel, zipper, shaft)

b) River (shore, fish, fisherman, mud, water)

c) City (car, building, crowd, street, bicycle)

d) Barn (hayloft, horses, roof, livestock, walls)

e) Cube (corners, drawing, side, stone, wood)

f) Division (class, dividend, pencil, divider, paper)

g) Game (cards, players, fines, penalties, rules)

h) Reading (eyes, book, picture, print, word)

i) War (plane, guns, battles, guns, soldiers)

The work of a teacher to develop in children the ability to identify essential features of concepts and establish various relationships prepares favorable soil for the development of abilities to form judgments, as a higher stage in the development of abstract logical thinking. The purposefulness of judgments and the degree of their depth depend on skill.

Exercise “Understanding Proverbs”

Purpose of the exercise: to develop the ability to operate with meaning.

Instructions: “Now I will read you a proverb, and you try to choose a suitable phrase for it that reflects the general meaning of the proverb, for example:

Measure seven times and cut once

Appendix 3.

Memo for teenagers.

How to develop thinking

The ability to think is absolutely necessary for all people of all professions, although, of course, the requirements for the level of development of different thinking skills for different professions are not the same. Is it possible to develop your thinking? And if so, then how to become smart and quick-witted?

1. The most general principle is known: “If you want to be smart, learn to ask intelligently, listen carefully, answer calmly and stop talking when there is nothing more to say.”

2. The mind determines the unity of knowledge and action. Knowledge cannot be acquired without the efforts of thought, without mental labor, but thinking itself is impossible without knowledge.

Developing thinking means saturating your mind with knowledge. Sources of knowledge can be very diverse: school, books, magazines, radio and television, etc. They introduce the phenomena of the surrounding world, various aspects of human activity.

3. Thinking begins with a question. Questions “why?” And How?" humanity owes most of the discoveries. Learn to pose questions to every event and phenomenon you encounter. And be sure to search and find answers to them. Thinking is activated when ready-made, stereotyped solutions do not make it possible to achieve the desired result. Therefore, for the development of thinking, it is important to develop in oneself such a quality as the ability to see an object or phenomenon from different sides, the ability to notice something new in the familiar.

4. The ability to notice several of the most obvious signs in an object or phenomenon is a general property of the mind. But some people notice some signs, some others. The greater the number of signs and sides of an object a person sees, the more flexible and perfect his thinking. This ability to see can be trained in mental games, in solving various kinds of logical problems, and puzzles.

5. Comparing concepts that are close in meaning is one of the techniques for developing thinking.

6. Thinking and language, thinking and speech are inseparable. Each of you knows that every thought has a verbal form. Therefore, to develop thinking, you can use this technique: what you don’t fully understand yourself, try to explain to someone else.

7. Active use of written language (composition, journaling, letters) also contributes to the development of thinking.

8. An indispensable condition for the development of thinking is a free presentation of what has been read, participation in discussions, and the solution of creative, non-standard, paradoxical problems. Thinking is the most difficult job for a person. To perform it, you need organization, well-developed attention and memory, observation, and efficiency.

9. Thinking develops solving problems and puzzles. Here are exercises for its development:

a) Try to balance the candle on the scales in such a way that the balance is disrupted by itself after some time.

b) Two people met - childhood friends and the following dialogue took place between them:

“- How many years have I not seen you and heard nothing about you!

And I already have a daughter!

What is her name?

Just like her mother.

How old is Lenochka?”

How did the interlocutor find out his daughter’s name?

c) Two approached the river. There was a boat near the shore that could fit one person. Both of them crossed the river on this boat and continued on their way. How did they do it?

d) Compare the concepts: curiosity and inquisitiveness, persistence and stubbornness, pride and vanity, selfishness and pride.

d) Eliminate unnecessary words:

Dog, cow, sheep, elk, cat;

Dog, cow, sheep, elk, horse;

Football, hockey, handball, basketball, water polo;

Yenisei, Ob, Pechora, Lena, Indigirka.

Cultural practices, as defined by N. B. Krylova, are various types of independent activity, behavior, mental well-being and unique individual life experiences that develop from the first days of life, based on the child’s current and future interests.

Intellectual training- a system of tasks, mainly of a gaming nature and methods of intellectual activity (the ability to compare, classify, compose serial series, systematize according to some characteristic, etc.) this includes educational games, logical exercises, entertaining tasks.

Cognitive development involves development of children's interests, curiosity and cognitive motivation; formation of cognitive actions, composition of consciousness; development of imagination and creative activity. (FSES DO)

Effective development of intellectual abilities of preschool children- one of the pressing problems of our time. The child’s learning and development should be relaxed, carried out through a type of activity characteristic of this age - play. The need for play and the desire to play in children must be used to direct in order to solve certain educational, educational and developmental tasks. Learning in an entertaining form is absorbed by children faster and more firmly. The game helps motivate children to enrich themselves, consolidate mathematical knowledge, develop logical thinking (creating various problem situations, organizing search activities, conducting simple experiments, develops the ability to ask, observe.)

Of no small importance in the development of elementary mathematical concepts has a well-equipped, rich subject-spatial environment. The group includes: a center for entertaining mathematics, a center for speech development, and an experimentation center, which stimulate the child’s independent cognitive activity.

System of tasks, games and exercises for the development of children’s cognitive activity, which can be used as part of the drawing lesson “Fly, our rocket”, first the children construct a rocket from Dienesh blocks. Just like GCD, the “Labyrinth” activity, where together with the children we help the bunny help out his friends, all tasks are completed using Dienesh blocks.

File of game tasks allows you to work with children individually, both with a low rate of development and with a higher one. Children develop attention, memory, the ability to compare, classify, and compile serial series. (Allows you to determine individual tasks, according to the children’s ability, “Zone of Proximal Development”).

Educational games are based on three learning principles: “from simple to complex”, “independently according to ability”, “gradual and systematic”. This allows you to solve several problems related to the development of creative abilities in the game at once.

Educational games are varied in their content, and besides, like any games, they do not tolerate coercion.

1. "Nikitin's Cubes"- excellent didactic material for the development of logical thinking, perception, attention, such educational games as:

"Fold the pattern"- you can fold patterns according to the pattern or come up with combinations of cubes yourself,

(The game develops imaginative and spatial thinking, constructive and artistic abilities, attention and imagination.)

"Unicube" First, with the children, you can put the cubes in a box by color, who can put the cubes so that the bottom is blue, the middle is yellow, and the top is red? The fence up is red and the sides are blue.

"Fold a square" All the components of the squares need to be mixed so that the child can sort them by color. After this, from each pile of parts of the same color you need to gradually add up small squares, which, in turn, can form one large square. Thanks to this game, the child develops spatial thinking, color perception and intelligence.

It is better to play with these games individually or (4-5 children). The tasks are given to the child in various forms: in the form of a model, a planar drawing, and thus introduce him to different ways of transmitting information.

2. The didactic material “Cuisenaire’s Colored Sticks” is unique in its capabilities and easy to use. Universal material for developing children's logical and mathematical abilities. “Cuisenaire sticks” are a set of counting sticks, which are also called “colored sticks”, “colored numbers”. Sticks of the same length are made in the same color and indicate a certain number. The longer the stick, the greater the numerical value it expresses. The set promotes the development of creativity, fantasy and imagination, cognitive activity, thinking, attention, spatial orientation, perception, combinatorial and design abilities, fine motor skills.

At the initial stage of classes, Cuisenaire sticks are used as playing material. Children play with them as with ordinary cubes and sticks during games and activities, becoming familiar with colors, sizes and shapes. (shorter - longer). Place on the sample in albums.

At the second stage, the sticks already act as a mathematical aid. Correlate color and number, composition of number.

3. A special place in working with children is occupied by games that involve composing a whole from parts:“Tangram”, “Columbus Egg”, “Vietnamese Game”, “Mongolian Game”, “Leaf”, “Magic Circle”, “Pythagorean Puzzle”. The essence of these games is not just in assembling the original figure - from the cut pieces you can assemble various silhouettes - animals, people, various objects. Each puzzle comes with images of such silhouettes, both life-size, broken down into component parts, and just silhouettes, where you still have to guess which parts need to be placed and in what position. After all, the sequence of folding ready-made forms is hidden from the child; he has to go through the creator’s experience all over again. I use these games both in direct educational activities and for children’s independent activities.

4. In my work to develop the logical and mathematical abilities of children, I use Dienesh's logical blocks. Why did I take the blocks? Because they contribute to the development of such mental operations as grouping objects by properties, eliminating unnecessary things, analysis, synthesis, children learn to prove and guess, encoding and decoding.

Games with Dienesh blocks are of interest to children. This is how children gain knowledge of elementary mathematical concepts through play.

1. Development of skills to identify and abstract properties.

2. Development of the ability to compare objects by properties.

3. Development of the ability for logical actions and operations.

The simplest games are offered first:

“Divide the shapes (blocks)” (by color, or shape, or size, or thickness)

“Find the shape (blocks)” (by color, shape, size, thickness)

Working with Dienesh logical blocks can be included in all types of activities:

1. Outdoor games (object references, designation of houses, paths, labyrinths).

2. Printed board games (making maps for the games “Settle the Tenants,” “Which Piece is Missing,” “Find a Place for the Piece,” “Puzzles”).

3. Role-playing games: “Shop” (money is indicated by blocks, product prices are indicated by code cards).

The variety of games with Dienesh blocks makes it possible to use them at almost any moment, and also allows for an individual approach by simplifying or complicating tasks. (Encode geometric shapes through negation)

5. Counting sticks have traditionally been used as a counting material. However, their diverse design capabilities make it possible to form geometric concepts in children and develop spatial imagination. Children love to play with counting sticks. They work according to schemes, come up with images themselves and lay them out in different ways.

Thus, the use of cultural practices in preschoolers forms and develops cognitive processes (Memory, thinking, the ability to compare, classify, compile serial series, systematize according to any criterion).

Just as we improve our business skills, we can train our intellect. Intelligence training allows you to develop the mental abilities and thinking of employees and managers for more effective work activities. We bring to your attention corporate training on the development of intelligence, which we each time adapt to the intellectual tasks of your company’s employees.

What is intelligence? Human intelligence is a complex set of innate and acquired components, and ultimately makes each of us the owners of unique talents. But according to the latest data from scientists, complex human intelligence consists of 10 components.

Complex human intelligence and its components:

1. Linguistic intelligence

2. Logical-mathematical intelligence

3. Social intelligence

4. Musical intelligence

5. Physical intelligence

6. Creative Intelligence

7. Spatial intelligence

9. Naturalistic intelligence

10. Existential Intelligence

At intelligence training, we offer participants, for example, the following task: “Rate yourself for each type of intelligence on a scale from 1 to 10 and you will get an idea of your talents and your individuality.”

When working on the development of intelligence for employees of a particular company, we focus on the development of selective components of intelligence that allow us to obtain better results in business. Having experience working with leading Western and Russian companies, we have created a competency model for the use of intelligence in business, according to which we conduct intelligence training and provide post-training support.

Efficiency of memory and attention development

Many people are born with a good memory and the ability to concentrate on little things. If you are not lazy and train your memory and attention, you can achieve great success in life. Some people need to work hard on themselves, on their memory and concentration, in order to achieve at least something in life.

To increase memory and attention productivity you need to:

Concentrate on one thing. If you are listening to a lecture or sitting at a meeting, do not correspond with someone on the phone, listen carefully to the person speaking in front of you. You need to listen to him as carefully as possible and not be distracted by trifles. In the evening, be sure to remember today’s lecture and try to recall it in memory down to the smallest detail.

Proper nutrition for the brain is very important. Don't eat fast food or snacks on the run - it's harmful to both your brain and your body. A proper diet should include the following foods: vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, nuts, dairy products and herbs.

Don't overload your brain. If you feel tired, give your body a rest, a tired brain does not perceive new information well.

Never overload your brain with unnecessary, unnecessary information. Load it only with useful and truly important information.

Be sure to take walks in the fresh air; this is also very important for the proper functioning of your brain. The brain must receive oxygen. It's good if your walks in the fresh air are active. You can engage in different sports or simply relax actively.

Memory and attention training

Don’t be alarmed by the word “training”, it’s not a gym, although it doesn’t hurt you to go there sometimes either. People who play sports and lead an active lifestyle have 15% better brain function than a person who leads a passive lifestyle. So, memory training should be done by everyone, without exception, even the laziest people.

A lazy person immediately begins to come up with various excuses so that he does not do anything. But you can do it without postponing any important or unimportant matters. Sign up now for the “Super Memory in 30 Days” course to develop your memory to perfection without being distracted from your everyday activities:

Simple Daily Exercises

Let's start with the simplest thing - you need to go to the grocery store. Don’t take a cheat sheet with you on which the list of goods is written, write it down and try to remember what you wrote, then go to the store. If the situation is completely hopeless, then take your grocery list with you, but try not to take it out of your bag. Buy as a souvenir, and at the very end, take it out and check whether you bought everything or not.

When you talk with employees, with a neighbor on the landing, with a girlfriend or friend, try to remember as much as possible: eye color, clothing, some small things done on clothing or on a person. Listen carefully to what they tell you, delve into every detail. After the conversation, try to remember everything down to the smallest detail and scroll through it again in your head. This way you can train your auditory and visual memory.

Train yourself to read, this can be any time during your lunch break or before bed. You can read one to five pages at first, and gradually try to reach at least ten or twenty pages. Read carefully. After you read, try to retell it in as much detail as possible. If you don’t have time to retell what you read, then you can do it while you’re eating home or going to the store.

Exercises to develop memory and attention

On your way to work or to the store, you can remember the numbers of houses or license plates of cars that pass by. It trains your memory well.

Try to remember the price tags in the store for the goods you buy. Once you remember the prices, you can compare them with the prices of another store.

If you are preparing a new dish, using a new recipe, try to remember it. You can try to write it down from memory, on paper, and then check it with the original recipe.

Learn the poem by heart and please your loved one with it. Learn the words to a new song. On your way to work or to the store, you can hum a new song to yourself.

If you are walking, try changing your route and taking a different road. Look carefully at what new and interesting things you saw while you were walking, perhaps beautiful houses and unusual signs on stores, maybe beautiful flowers or fluffy blue Christmas trees. When you get home, remember your new route and replay it in your head. What do you remember about him? What are your impressions of this route? What new did you see?

Exercises to develop attention

Exercise 1

Let's start with a simple exercise. Look at the following picture for one minute. Then close this picture and try to draw these shapes in the same arrangement on paper.

If you find it difficult to remember all the details, don’t worry, take only the top part of the picture and try to remember it. Then look at the bottom of the picture and try to draw the details of the bottom picture on the paper.

After you draw the details on paper, try to compare them with the picture. What did you get? On the lower part, try to draw the upper part of the drawing from memory. If there are errors, try repeating the exercise.

Exercise 2

Look carefully at the picture, there are ten numbers drawn here, a word is written under each number. Look carefully at the picture for one minute, then close this picture and try to write all the numbers on paper and write a word under each number.

What did you get? If there are a lot of mistakes, try to remember only the top line from zero to four, then from five to nine.

Compare what is written with the picture, if there are mistakes, repeat the exercise.

Exercise 3

Look at the next picture, there is a clock on it. Look carefully at which numbers are drawn on it more or less, what lines are on the numbers. Look at the picture for one minute, then close the picture and try to draw a clock on paper.

What did you get? If you are unable to remember and draw everything completely, divide the clock in half and remember half. Then try to remember the second half and draw it on paper. Repeat the exercise if necessary.

Exercise 4

Look at the following picture, there are colors written on it, but they are highlighted in a different color. Look at the picture carefully for one minute and try to remember the words.

To begin with, you can only remember three lines. Try to remember the first three lines, cover the words and write from memory. You should also write with colored pens or colored pencils.

What did you get? If you wrote everything correctly, try writing all the words together.
