Games aimed at developing vision, attention, and hearing

These are the very first games in which you can play with the child.

 

Look at me

Holding the child upright, try to focus his gaze on your face. At the same time, perform various mimic actions: smile, wink, open and close your eyes.
Soon, thanks to such exercises, the kid learns to concentrate his eyes on both fixed objects and moving ones.

 

Toy Rattle

The baby's first toy is usually a rattle. For the rattle to be useful, it must be properly selected. The choice is made by several criteria: color (preferably yellow), weight (the rattle should be light), loudness (the sound should not frighten the child).
Exercise with a rattle is as follows: drive it to the right-left, down-up.
At the same time, you will notice that the baby follows the toy, listens to the sounds produced by her.
Thus, not only visual perception develops, but also the work of the hearing organs improves.

 

Repeat after me

"Repeat after me" is a complicated version of the game "Look at me." In it, you can play with the child for 2-3 months.
First, take the child in your arms and keep it in front of you a short distance away. Then slowly, so that he has time to concentrate, perform some action (put out your tongue, open and close your mouth). Soon you will see that the kid is trying to repeat the actions for you.

 

Umbrella

The game is aimed at children under 2 months and is aimed at developing the vision.
At the far edge of the cot, hang an upturned umbrella so that the child can reach it. Attach bright balls, small toys, and bells to the umbrella spokes.
Stand at the edge of the crib and talk with the baby.
He will turn the head to your voice. As soon as the child pays attention to you, start shaking the umbrella, drawing the infant's gaze to the colorful objects.
After you repeat this procedure several times, the baby will begin to look at the umbrella with interest.

 

Doll-plate

The game is aimed at developing attention and vision. It is recommended to play with the child for 2 months.
Make a doll from a paper plate, attach a stick-stick to it. Draw on one side of the plate a cheerful mug, and on the other - sad.
Turn the plate in front of the baby's eyes first one side, and then the other. Let him see a sad and cheerful face. You will find that the child likes to look at the toy, and very soon he will begin to talk with her.
Interest in the doll will last a long time, as the faces will constantly replace one another.

 

Beautiful handkerchief

When feeding the baby, put on your shoulders a motley scarf or scarf. The child will look at your face and handkerchief with pleasure.
During feeding, keep this handkerchief in front of the child's eyes and affectionately say something like: "Such a beautiful scarf ...", "What a beautiful baby", etc.
The next time a child sees this handkerchief on your shoulders, it will be associated with him with pleasure.

 

Funny pictures

The game is aimed at children under 2 months. It is aimed at the development of vision.
A week after the birth, the children begin to discern the drawings.
Especially attracting their attention are sharp contrasting colors.
Cut the paper into rectangles measuring approximately 22 x 28 cm. With a thick felt-tip pen, draw various geometric shapes on them.
You can also cut a variety of pictures from magazines. Hang these pictures around the baby's crib so that he can see them all the time.

 

Bee-bee

Hug your baby and look into his eyes. To attract the attention of the child, slowly shake your index finger in front of his eyes. Then tilt your finger to the right and wait for the baby's eyes to follow the movement of the finger.
Now turn your finger to the left and see that the baby accompanies this movement with his eyes. Turning the finger to the right and to the left, say: "Bee-bee, Zhu-jiu-jiu".
At first, your baby will be able to follow his finger only a short time. Repeat this daily, and you will notice that it is making progress.
