Observer

It is better to play this game with a child who already knows how to sit. Such entertainment for the baby will help you for a while to leave the child alone and do business.
Plant a baby in front of some moving object (this can be an aquarium with fish, a clock with large arrows or a pendulum). At this age, children have long enough to concentrate their attention on one object.

 

Who is in the mirror?

Plant a child in front of a large mirror, draw the attention of the baby to his "double". Surely he will be interested in reflection.
Such a game can serve as an excellent means to calm the baby when he is naughty.

 

Squirrels

In this game, you can play with children 8-9 months. Read the poem and use your hands to perform this game:

One, two, three, four, five.
The squirrels came to play.
(Set the 5 fingers.)
One somewhere went wrong,
(Put your hand behind your back.)
Four squirrels remained.
(Set 4 fingers.)
And now look rather quickly:
(Put your hand behind your back.)
There are already three left.
(Set 3 fingers.)
Well and well, what a pity,
(Put your hand behind your back.)
Only two left.
(Set 2 fingers.)
This news is so sad,
(Put your hand behind your back.)
There was only one squirrel left.
(Position 1 finger.)
Then say:
While we with you considered,
Squirrels escaped from us.

 

Open and close

This game can be played with children ages 10-12 months. It is aimed not only at the concentration of attention but also on the development of fine motor skills of the fingers.
Put in front of the child a few small jars, closed lids, different in shape and color. Suggest him to open all the jars and then close again, correctly picking up the lids. If the lids twist, make sure that the baby twists the lid, not the jar.

 

Do as I do

This game can be played with a child aged 10-12 months. It is aimed at developing attention.
Beat the "drum", clap your hands, machine by hand, blow, "conduct the orchestra". At this time, the kid has to look at you and repeat your movements.

 

Guess which hand?

Hide in your hand a small interesting toy.
Open your palm, show the thing to the kid and then close it back. Let him look for a hidden toy.
In this way, you will help the child learn that if the objects are not visible, it does not mean that they have disappeared forever.
Clap your hands when he finds the loss. Start the game first, and if the kid finds it difficult to discover the toy itself, show it again.

 

Transparent barriers

This game develops attention, vision, and thinking of the child. Put the toy behind some transparent barrier.
Observe what the kid will do: try to get the toy through the barrier or bypass the barrier.

 

Guess who says?

All babies have an interest in animals. Give the child to consider toy animals, tell who it is, and demonstrate what sounds different animals make: "The dog says" av-av "! Where is the dog? "The child must show the appropriate toy.

 

Hat

The game is aimed at developing attention and thinking.
Give the kid any hat, let him try to put it on himself. This will help the child learn more about himself. Let the kid look in the mirror - his own reflection will cause him ecstasy.

 

Shadow

Little children often wake up at night several times. Shadows cast on the walls by nightlight take the most bizarre outlines, attracting the attention and interest of the awake baby.
In the room where your baby is sleeping, set the twisting night light so that it casts shadows. Observation of them will promote the development of your kid's vision. When the child grows up a bit, with it you can show the figures casting the shadow on the wall.

 

Interesting sounds

The game is aimed at developing attention.
Pay attention to the child's different sounds, always calling them the source: phone, doorbell, father's steps, rain, water flowing from the tap, dog barking, etc.
Reacting to sounds, the kid will learn to listen, which is very important for the development of speech.

 

Hidden toy

The game develops thinking and attention.
Squeeze the toy in the palm of your hand so that the child hears a squeak.
Hide her under the blanket in front of the baby, let him try to find her.
