How to play together kids of different ages?

Cooperative Game age benefit large and small. Older children know a lot of games, set the overall course of action, allocate roles, as babies, they should be happy, assuming that gaming experience. If a little something does not work, a senior help calm down. Little saw how he will be a year or two, he appears as role models. For the older child playing with kid - the lesson of responsibility, the first serious case, which he directs. Mom can only propose sending the game up and unobtrusively guide the process.

1. Subjective-Playing Games
They are perfectly suited for two-three-year-old kids, and for older preschoolers, create conditions for joint activities. In Subjective-Playing Games child tries to be brighter express themselves, to use all the lessons learned, all their knowledge and skills.

«Family» - perhaps one of the most popular Subjective-Playing Kids Games. Is not difficult to guess that the role of adult family members (dad, mom) goes to eldest child, and the role of the child - the youngest party games. The distribution of roles and «developing a script» often is a senior child (can be co-authored with his mother), kids with the same pleasure to accept the terms, assuming that gaming experience. «Family» go to work and in kindergarten, sick, vacation travels, quarrels and tolerate. By creating its toy family, children create their own model of family relations based on the behavior and habits of members of his real family. Watching over their playing children, Mom can get a lot of interesting and useful information about what kids are concerned, what they see my family really, what are afraid of and that would like to change in the relationship with his parents and brother (sister).

If Mom is interesting to know how children behave when she is not close, you can invite them to play «Nursery». Mom will hear and intonation of strict teachers, and the story of a bully johny that make bed baby, and tell an adult about it, your child is afraid of. The game «appear» all the subtlety of childhood team, and parents will be helpful for them to learn.

«Hospital» - a great game to develop skills in social behavior and expanding horizons of children health. Senior child «cures» baby, helping to memorize the names of various body parts, the procedures carried out by a doctor. If a child has a fear of doctors, the game will help him cope. Mom can help build a white robe from old sheets or shirts, to tell what are doctors, what illnesses they treat, and at the same time hold a cognitive conversation about healthy lifestyles, make more healthy Control and Prevention. There are kits ready to play doctor, which are sold in stores, but better use of replacement. (For example, the thermometer can serve as a wooden stick, and glass tubes for taking blood - the core of the pen.) It helps the development of fantasy and imagination.

In addition to the traditional scenarios in Subjective-Playing games can also use other scenarios. For example, many children traveling with their parents at a very early age. So why not build eldest child «train» and go it to the sea passengers - brother young, my mother and all the plush animals? Or play a game «Airport», in which you can build airplanes from sofas cushions? In this game, get the role of small passenger aircraft, a child older - the role of pilot, the manager or hostess. Mom can serve as the airport and tell the children of the different services of this site. The game helps children learn the rules of conduct in public places, to learn more about different professions.

If all the old scripts sense and kids want something unusual, my mom can offer to play in «MES». The main goal of the game - not only to acquaint children with difficult and honorable profession rescuer, but also teach them if necessary to act clearly and coherently. To do this, do not need to burn an apartment or bathe with water neighbors. Just play problem situations and to develop an algorithm behavior in humans. A senior child - the courageous rescue, which could be a doctor, and climbers, and fire and the driver! Little is likely to stay affected, and my mother - and television operator, covering emergency. Creative child find meaning and idea in the most everyday and banal, in terms of adult things, so do not limit their children’s fantasy, albeit a most unexpected turn of the script will be implemented in the game.

2. Kids Games-tales
Games-tales also interesting to children of different ages. Kid Biennial, which is not very understanding of what is happening, but is keen to participate in fun, with fun shows it; plush Mickey - mouse, Grandmother lap-dog - bugs. Senior child can become a director «mini-show», to perform the role of «grandfather» or «baby», to administer toys, characters, and my mother - read aloud a fairy tale that all participants have not forgotten their role. So, that game struggles to hold a chair, and each new character is trying its «pull». But get this only when the soft toys, older brother and mother with the Pope will gather together. Cheery heap-low when they, finally, cut of chairs - a worthy conclusion of the game, it is only to observe safety.

«Roller» - another interesting story-game, allowing himself a small party to stay in the role of the deft and artful. So what that Roller still ate from all the other heroes he did went! Compared with older brother or sister kid feels some deficiency, but this game will raise the crumbs self-esteem and help him open in a new role for himself. A senior can stay storyteller or sly fox. From my mother would require a preliminary private conversation with a senior child: «We are with you think of the game for brother (sister) to (a) feel (a) big, strong and shifty, like you! Help brother, if necessary, but let himself and feel like a principal, this is about a fairy tale! »

You can also use other tales, which have different characters, large and small animals. («The Bremen Town Musicians»). Missing «actors» can stay toys, friends or a mother with a father.

3. Run, let’s play baby!
