Effective Games and Exercises for Intellectual Development. For Older Preschool Children

The book contains effective exercises for developing a child's intellect. The tasks presented in it develop attention, memory, thinking, imagination, and speech through play and creative experiments, awakening the child's interest in the learning process itself.

The book includes thematic sections such as "Color", "Shape", "Size", "Measures of Time", "Seasons", "Animals", "Birds", "Fishes", "Insects", "Fruits and Vegetables", "Toys", "Clothes and Furniture", "Transport", and others. By completing tasks, the child learns to compare pictures, identify an object by its part, find the "mistakes" of the artist in the drawings, separate essential features from secondary ones, group objects, determine the sequence of events, add to and color pictures. Tasks aimed at speech development will expand vocabulary, help the child learn to construct grammatically correct sentences, compose a story based on a series of pictures, solve riddles, tackle simple rebuses, and explain the solution process.

The scientific editor of the book, I. A. Mikhailenkova, is one of the founders of the St. Petersburg scientific school of corrective psychology, aimed at solving applied pedagogical and psychological problems in the development and education of children. The proposed book is based on a systematic scientific approach and vast practical experience of the authors.
