How to play:

The main task in this game for the child is to arrange the balls on the plates in the right way. At first, it is possible to do it by hand, then you can complicate the task by offering a spoon. At the same time, it is not necessary to use only a spoon. The child can arrange the balls on plates of the same color with tweezers, or, for example, with Chinese chopsticks.

 

The game can be divided into several stages:

1.At first, learn the colors with the child. It is recommended to start the study with the main colors: yellow, red, green and blue. It is important to introduce new colors one or two at a time, making sure that the previous ones are learned well.

2.Consolidate new knowledge by offering the child to find the same colors on the nearby objects, in the room or on his or her clothes or, for example, by remembering what fruits have these colors.

3.Check the knowledge: spread out colored balls or plates and ask your child it to give you a red ball or to put a yellow ball on a green plate.

4.Then you can play different scenarios of the game. For example, arrange the balls by color on the appropriate plates. Or put the balls on "inappropriate" plates (it is better to start with three colors) and ask the child to arrange the balls correctly.

5.You can also put different color sequences on the table and ask your child to repeat them by memory.

6. Offer your child tasks to develop logic and attention:

What color is next? 

 

Which combination is missing in the row?
