An object is all kinds of things around us, living beings, animals, plants, natural phenomena.
Each object has characteristics that distinguish it from another object.
Objects differ in color, shape, size, purpose, material from which they are made and other characteristics.
To determine the attribute of an object, you can ask the following questions:
- - Which?
- - which?
- -which?
- - which?
A sign is the presence or absence of a property in an object, as well as the presence or absence of a relationship between objects.
The attribute of an object is the way in which objects are similar to each other or how they differ from each other.
In everyday life, we teach our children to determine the properties of objects all the time, without noticing it. We ask, discuss and talk with the child (what color the object is, what shape it is, etc.).
So, let's try to highlight the essential features using the example of a lemon. Show your child this object (picture). Ask him to describe it, asking him questions; if the child finds it difficult, help him. What colour is he? “What shape?”, “What does it taste like?”, “What does it feel like?” Lemon: yellow, oval, sour, hard.
We teach children to identify the characteristics of an object by shape
Ask your child what shapes objects come in? (oval, round, square, rectangular).
You can offer your child, name and show objects of round, oval, square and rectangular shape. Or ask what figure the object resembles.
We teach children to identify the characteristics of an object by color
You can offer the child, name and show objects of red, yellow, green, etc. colors.
Ask your child what is green and what is blue? etc.
Thus, teaching a child to identify essential features by comparison should be done in stages:
- stage: Identify features or properties of one object.
- stage: Identify signs or properties of two objects
- stage: Identify signs or properties of three or more signs.
There are a lot of games and exercises for developing techniques for identifying features of an object. Let's look at a few of these games.
- Game "Guess who it is?"
Goal: development of an active vocabulary of adjectives denoting color, size, and qualitative characteristics of animals.
Progress of the game: an adult names several words (it is advisable to use mostly adjectives) describing this or that animal. The child’s task is to guess who they are talking about as quickly as possible.
More general descriptions should be given first. Then name more precise signs that are characteristic only of the hidden creature.
For example:
- Gray, angry, toothy, hungry. (wolf)
- Small, gray, cowardly, long-eared. (hare)
- Small, short-legged, hardworking, prickly. (hedgehog)
- Game "What is round?"
Here, of course, everyone knows what things are like here.
Purpose: To clarify children’s ideas about the size of objects; learn to classify objects according to a certain criterion (size, color, shape); develop quick thinking.
Progress of the game. Tossing the ball to children in various ways, the teacher asks a question to which the child, having caught the ball, must answer and then return the ball to the teacher. The teacher, in turn, passes the ball to the next child, waiting for an answer from him.
- What is round? (Ball, ball, wheel, sun, moon, apple, cherry...)
- What is long? (Road, river, rope, thread, tape, cord...)
- What is high? (Mountain, tree, man, hundred, house, closet...)
