Open speech therapy session for the senior group in the land of beautiful speech

Topics for open classes

Choosing a topic is not an easy task, since the specialist will have to demonstrate something new. You can use thematic calendar planning.

Lexical topic “Transport”

Equipment you will need is a set of thematic pictures, a bag of small toys, and model airplanes and trucks. On the lexical topic “Transport” in the senior group, the speech therapist aims to expand ideas and form vocabulary.

At the organizational moment, riddles are asked to each child. Afterwards, the teacher asks leading questions and asks the children what will be discussed. All children are given a picture of a vehicle, and they tell them what they will use to go to kindergarten.

Important! Group work involves the participation of the entire team.

Next, a task is given with the need to complete the sentence. Discuss different types of transport with children - water, land, air. In the middle of the lesson there is a physical education session.

On mock-ups, parts of the machine are disassembled - the nose of the aircraft, wings, tail, etc. The end of the lesson is accompanied by a brief summary. As homework, they are asked to come up with a drawing of “travel to another country” and each child chooses his own mode of transport.

How to talk to a child correctly, communication rules for parents

Theme "Mom's Day"

In kindergarten, preschoolers must receive a certain set of knowledge, skills, abilities - this is enshrined in the Federal State Educational Standard. Therefore, the teacher and speech therapist conduct classes dedicated to various holidays.

Exciting games allow you to form ideas about certain traditions

The family plays a big role in raising a child. Therefore, the teacher begins the lesson with a short introduction. He brings a small package into the office and offers to find out what is hidden in it. Inside is a message written on a postcard.

The teacher talks about March 8th as a mother’s holiday. Then various tasks are offered: “clean up the picture,” “buy groceries at the store,” “housework,” “cook dinner for mom,” etc.

Theme "Spring" for the middle group

When holding any event, the age characteristics of children must be taken into account. Speech therapy classes in the middle group are carried out according to the same plan as in the senior group. But simple material is selected for it.

At the beginning, a short physical education session is held, then spring phenomena are discussed with the children - melting snow and ice, warming, etc. Next, preschoolers are asked to remember which birds return at this time of year.

Important! You can invite them to describe an animal that also wakes up in the spring - a bear. Another option for the task is “name it affectionately.”

The theme “Spring” speech therapy lesson in the middle group should achieve certain goals. In this case, it is necessary to develop a thematic vocabulary.

Topic "Furniture" in the senior group

Throughout the year, children are introduced to different materials. At the beginning of the lesson, they are given a small task (“call your friend affectionately” or something else). Then thematic sets of pictures are distributed. The lexical topic “Furniture” in the senior speech therapy group is aimed at developing vocabulary.

To begin with, children are given thematic riddles, then they are asked to listen to the words and eliminate the unnecessary, in addition they are taught to select signs for the subject.

You can start the lesson with the task “find what is wrong in the picture” or others. In the middle there must be a physical training session. The lexical topic “Furniture” in a preparatory speech therapy group may include tasks with letters. For example, “find the mistake in the word.”

Theme "Family"

For the development of coherent speech, it is important that the child can communicate on everyday topics. Everyday events are used for this. During the lesson, children discuss who the family members are, what they do and what professions they have.

Dramatizations of Teremok and other fairy tales in the second junior groups

Theme: “Travel through the taiga”

In the garden, children should receive their first ideas about the world. Therefore, they are told about the features of nature - what wild animals live where, what they eat and what they do.

Lotto and other games help make the activity interesting

An effective means of developing speech is to compose a short story using reference pictures. This will teach children to formulate thoughts correctly. They must clearly understand the difference between wild and domestic animals.

Theme "Hats"

The organizational moment begins with riddles. Next, the toy Dunno is shown and the teacher draws attention to his headdress - a blue hat.

Examples of tasks are “Count”, “what is a thing made of”, “what hats were given to whom”, etc. You can add questions about what hats are worn in the fall and other seasons.

For all tasks, visual material must be used. Additionally, you can ask what sound the word begins with. During work, children must change types of activities and therefore physical education sessions are carried out with them.

You can give tasks to eliminate unnecessary things: “Do they wear a cap in winter?”, “Do they wear a hat in summer?” and so on.

Important! All children must participate during the lesson.

Be sure to disassemble parts of the headdress - brim, visor and others. You can find out what clothes the children remember. The speech therapist needs to select interesting games that will attract attention. In the older group, you can add riddles to develop literacy - add a letter, etc.

Theoretical aspects of speech therapy classes in kindergarten

The goals for speech therapy sessions are usually general:

Development of articulatory motor skills.
Formation of pronunciation skills (depending on the stage of work on a particular sound).
Development of phonemic awareness.
Development of sound analysis skills.
Improving lexical and grammatical structures.
Development of fine motor skills in preparation for writing.

Mastery of the native language is the most important acquisition of a child in preschool childhood.

Children’s speech, which is beautiful in itself, also has scientific value, since by studying it, we thereby discover the bizarre patterns of children’s thinking.
K. I. Chukovsky

The methodological goal of an open speech therapy lesson is to demonstrate what teaching methods and techniques the teacher uses and how the material is presented in an accessible manner. If the lesson is held at the end of the semester, you can see what progress the children have achieved during their training.

Tasks for different age groups

For each lesson, one specific goal and several main tasks are set that will be solved in the process of educational activities.

Tasks for pupils of junior groups of preschool educational institutions:

Dictionary expansion.
Development of auditory and visual attention.
Teaching correct sound pronunciation.
Development of the ability to distinguish objects and describe their external signs for the ability to compose coherent descriptions.

In the middle group, speech therapy classes solve a number of problems:

Activation of speech activity.
Formation of correct breathing when speaking.
Development of articulation and speech hearing.
Development of associative thinking (helps to establish connections between various concepts, promoting the development of literate speech and logical construction of sentences).

In communicating with adults and peers, the child masters the rules of human speech and learns new words.

For preschoolers of the senior group, the following tasks will be relevant:

Development of skills to characterize sounds (long, short, how they are pronounced, in which words they appear).
Formation of ideas about deaf and voiced sounds.
Development of dialogical speech.

Examples of tasks for preparatory group students:

Improving the accuracy of facial expressions and gestures when speaking.
Improving the ability to answer questions accurately and clearly.
Development of intelligible, literate speech.
Formation of the skill of correct speech breathing.

When working with preschool children, the speech therapist keeps records of each child’s speech development

The native word is the treasury of all mental development and the treasury of all knowledge.

Table: speech therapy techniques in working with preschoolers

Reception name	Description	Why it's useful	Relevance of use in open classes	Examples of games
"Sand Games"	The choice of games depends on the age of preschoolers. To implement such techniques, the teacher needs to have several boxes one-third filled with sand, sets of small toys (people, vehicles, plants, animals), and you can also get a set of letters made of wood or plastic for word-composing games. Playing with sand is good for introducing sounds and teaching children how to spell words correctly.	During the game, children better remember educational material, learn to independently describe objects from memory, and develop fine motor skills to prepare their hands for writing. In addition, working with sand relieves unnecessary stress and increases the emotional background of children.	Tasks in the form of games help children to distract themselves and relax, since some of them may feel uncomfortable in the presence of strangers in class. On the other hand, this is a good way to let children express themselves, show their independence and imagination. The teacher can also show creativity by showing colleagues various options for educational games that are interesting for preschoolers.	"A city with one sound." The speech therapist invites children to choose figures whose names have a certain sound and build a city in the sand with only these figures. In one game, children can create several towns, better remembering the sounds and words in which they are pronounced. “Treasure” (best done with older children). A child hides a figurine in the sand. Then he explains to others how many syllables are in the name of the object and names several sounds from this word. After the children guess what it is, they will have to find the figurine according to the instructions from the person who hid it (“to the left”, “to the right”, “dig deeper”, etc.). An analogue of the game "Magic Bag". The teacher hides several different letters in the sand. Children must find the letters by touch and name them, then they can list words that begin or end with the found letter.
Facial exercises	The reception is suitable for pupils of all age groups. These exercises help develop the mobility of the facial muscles and allow you to further develop clear articulatory movements.	Exercises influence the further development of articulation, help the child control facial expressions during a conversation, so that it is easier for him to explain what he feels.	You can start the lesson with this technique by involving guests. For example, asking children with certain emotions to tell a story to guests, which will help the students not feel uncomfortable in the presence of strangers and will lift their spirits. The more emotions a teacher can use in their work, the better. There is an opportunity to demonstrate to colleagues the collected material, which they can also use in the future (pictures with emotions, images of various animals, “mood clouds”, cards with tasks, etc.).	In the first lessons, everything starts with simple exercises - frowning your eyebrows, opening and closing your eyes alternately, gradually the movements will become more complex (raising your eyebrows together and in turn, smiling broadly, making your lips a “bow”, wiggling your nose, etc.). It is necessary to develop in children voluntary movements and control of facial expressions. It is best to ask preschoolers to depict certain emotions - joy, sadness, surprise, fear, anger, happiness, cheerfulness, jubilation, fatigue, etc. To ensure that children, especially younger preschoolers, do not lose interest in the lesson, visual material with images of emotions is used ( “repeat what’s in the picture”) or the emotional states of animals, which can be given names (sly fox, angry wolf, kind bear).
Breathing exercises	Applicable to all age groups in every lesson. Rhythmic noisy breathing helps saturate the body with oxygen and get out of a stressful state.	Helps develop proper breathing when speaking, calms children and sets them up for learning.	It is worth starting a lesson with such gymnastics to make it easier for children to maintain attention and a positive attitude in the future. Habitual activities calm the pupils, despite the presence of strangers.	"Locomotive". Inhale noisily through your nose, hold your breath for 1 or 2 seconds, exhale loudly through your mouth, pursing your lips and making the sound “u”. The inhalation should be sharp and short, and the exhalation should be smooth and long. "Airplane Flight" The child, pretending to be an airplane, “flies” around the room and makes the sound “u”. When a student “flies”, the sound should be higher, directed towards the head; when “landing”, the sound becomes lower, coming from the body. The exercise helps regulate blood pressure and teaches breathing at a given pace.
Massage ball	Suitable for preschoolers of any age. Such balls are used to massage the palms and fingers, promoting the development of fine motor skills and preparing children's hands for writing, increasing the performance of each hand.	Develops fine motor skills, preparing the hand for writing. If children are already practicing with copybooks, then the massage ball can be used at the beginning of the lesson to warm up or in the middle to relieve fatigue.	Demonstration by the teacher of various exercises for children, showing the correct methodological instructions during the lessons.	You can use balls of different sizes to massage not only the entire hand, but also individual fingers, which the child will use to hold writing instruments in the future.
"Creating a situation of success"	The technique is suitable for children completing tasks in copybooks. The child writes in the workbook only with a pencil, and the teacher does not correct mistakes, only makes notes in the margins. This will allow the child to erase what he did wrong and correct the work himself. This technique helps to raise the student’s self-esteem, which will give him an additional desire to study.	Helps the child to believe in his own abilities, making him want to work better, try to complete tasks without errors and find flaws in his work himself.	This technique is relatively new, which makes it possible for the teacher to clearly show why it is not worth correcting mistakes for the child on his own and scolding him in case of failure.
"Find the picture"	Images for cards should be selected in accordance with the age of the children and their vocabulary. Each child is given a card with various images (objects, animals, plants). You need to find pictures according to the principle indicated by the teacher.	Develops attention, memory, helps to better assimilate material.	There may be many options for tasks for children to demonstrate their existing knowledge and reveal the topic of the lesson. The teacher demonstrates the material he has collected (the pictures can be thematic, divided by the number of syllables, letters, etc.) and tasks with cards developed for different age groups.	Preschoolers can do a number of different activities with the cards. For example, select pictures whose names contain the letter “r”, select pictures whose names begin with a certain syllable, select pictures ending with a certain letter.
Unconventional exercises using health-saving technologies	Suitable for pupils of any age. A series of exercises that will improve the physical and mental state of students, relieve muscle tension and charge them with positive energy.	Exercises allow you to teach children methods of maintaining health, restoring strength, developing switching attention, relieving tension, stimulating performance and thinking.	Exercises allow preschoolers to quickly restore their working capacity, prevent fatigue, which means that children will work actively throughout the entire lesson.	“Journey through the body” is aimed at relieving muscle tension. Visual gymnastics. Relaxation exercise “Curious Varvara”.
Gaming techniques	Suitable for preschoolers of any age. The leading activity of preschool children is play. In a playful way, children perceive complex and tedious tasks with interest and complete them with pleasure.	They help maintain children’s interest in activities, develop positive motivation and cognitive interest.	Thanks to the game form, students are motivated to complete tasks.	"Magic chest" Descriptive stories are difficult for children. And they don't like them very much. Here you can use the “Magic Chest” - a box in which masks are located. One child sits on a chair opposite the other children, the speech therapist puts a mask on him, which he takes out of a magic chest (masks on lexical topics: animals, birds, etc.). Children begin to describe who or what the child in the mask is based on questions or according to the plan, the child in the mask guesses. Game "Beads". Used in teaching sound analysis. The pictures are pasted onto bead circles. Children collect beads by attaching beads according to the last sound of the previous word. For example: cat-cake-pumpkin-shark.

Motivating start to class

The organizational introductory stage must be carefully thought through, since the entire future success of the lesson may depend on it. The speech therapist needs to introduce children to the topic, interest them from the first minutes and maintain positive motivation for work until the end of the lesson. There are various methods of motivation and encouragement for this.

At the beginning of the year, a speech therapist can start a diary of his achievements for each pupil, where for each successfully completed task a beautiful sticker will be added, indicating the success of the preschooler. This method is more suitable for children of senior and preparatory groups in order to maintain interest in classes throughout the school year.

The outcome of the event largely depends on the motivation of the students at the beginning of the lesson.

For younger children, at the beginning of the lesson it is good to use wrist puppets, which “came to check” whether the children are ready for the lesson and what their mood is. For example, the teacher puts bear and bunny dolls on the hands, which ask the children questions (“Are you ready to start the lesson?”, “Are you in a good mood?”, “Are you sitting nicely?”, etc.).

In any age group, the lesson can begin with riddles on basic topics, so that the children themselves can guess what they will study today. This will help them immediately get involved in what is happening, start thinking and motivate them to give the correct answer.

From the middle group onwards, the introductory exercise “make a whole from parts” is used. Children are shown a picture with a plot from a familiar fairy tale, and then asked to tell what kind of fairy tale it is, who the characters are, what they are doing, where they are, and what words with the most letters are in this picture. The brighter and more complete the illustrations, the more interest children will have.

Pupils of the senior and preparatory groups can immediately be called into dialogue, for example, start a conversation about what they saw on a walk or on the way to kindergarten, what the weather was like, time of year, whether they saw animals and plants, what they remember most. This encourages children to immediately join the discussion, learn to competently retell what they saw, and clearly construct sentences.

A new interesting game will attract the attention of preschoolers for a long time

At the beginning of an open lesson for children of different ages, you can use an organizational moment with the participation of the adults present. The teacher invites the preschoolers to say hello to the guests, but to do this in an unusual way. Each child receives a face cut out of cardboard depicting a certain emotion. Children say hello with the intonation that best suits their pictures. Senior and middle preschoolers can be asked to write short stories about themselves or each other to introduce themselves to guests. A teacher should help younger children. He can ask the kids to tell the guests where in the group there are objects starting with a certain letter or with a given number of syllables.

Table: examples of motivating start to classes in different age groups

Age group	Lesson topic	Purpose of the lesson	Example of a motivating start to a lesson	Relevance of the appointment
Junior	"In the village at grandma's"	Expand children's knowledge about pets.	A surprise moment at the introductory stage. The speech therapist shows the children a large decorated box and asks them to guess what is in it. Then he takes out a toy steam locomotive from the box and says that he will take the children to their grandmother in the village, where they will get acquainted with domestic animals. While children are “riding” on a steam locomotive, they perform speech exercises, imitating the sounds of riding (chug-chug, tu-tu).	This beginning of the lesson allows you to immediately include breathing exercises and simulating exercises, which will help children work better during the entire lesson.
Average	"In Search of Fairy Tales"	To strengthen children's ideas about numbers, time of day, and space.	Surprise moment. The teacher shows the children a book of fairy tales with completely blank pages. Having discovered the loss, you need to invite the children to go in search of fairy tales on the train to the library. The teacher says that the children will travel on tickets, and therefore they need to quickly find tickets that match the color of the train carriages (a didactic game, materials for which must be prepared in advance: tickets made of colored paper and a train made of cardboard carriages).	The game develops attention, logic, and allows you to reinforce the names of colors in a playful way, increasing children’s interest in the lesson and further tasks.
Older	"Zimushka-winter"	Summarize and systematize children's knowledge about winter.	Organizing time. Children each stand near their own chair. The speech therapist invites the children to play a game. He will ask riddles about winter, which preschoolers will take turns answering. The one who gave the correct answer sits on a chair. The game helps children engage in the activity with interest; it is necessary to prepare a large number of riddles in advance.	Attention task, development of auditory attention. From the first minutes, children are involved in the process, begin to think about the topic of the lesson, try to give correct answers, and reinforce the correct pronunciation of familiar words.
Preparatory	“Composing a story about your favorite fairy tale hero”	Develop logical thinking and competent speech.	Organizing time. There are paintings with images of fairy-tale characters on the board. The teacher says that the characters don’t remember what they look like, so he will name the characters’ names, and the children, without pointing at the picture, must describe the character’s appearance in their own words.	Children learn to compose descriptive stories, reproduce in oral speech what they see, and correctly construct sentences. The task develops attention and observation.
