The mission of developmental classes in the first and second junior groups
Development is an important component of the goals of any educational course practiced with kindergarten students. Moreover, certain aspects of development are an obligatory part not only of direct educational activities (DEA), but also of routine moments and entertainment. Therefore, considering the goals and objectives of development classes in such a broad sense, it is appropriate to talk about the mission of this area as a whole in a preschool educational institution (DOU). The goals and objectives of development classes are determined by strategies for changing the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of children of the first and second junior groups.
Developmental goals are determined by the age characteristics of children 1.5–4 years old
Goals of development classes with children 1.5–3 years old
The essence of development classes in the first junior group is determined by the development of three fundamental life acquisitions for children 1.5–3 years old - upright walking, speech and object interaction. This:
- learning to manipulate various objects, understanding their purpose (during games);
- formation of the ability to understand and use speech in communication (expanding the passive vocabulary, gradually transforming it into active);
- nurturing a collective spirit (even taking into account the fact that children of the first junior group act and play not together, but side by side, they see that all types of work are performed simultaneously and the tasks are the same for everyone).
Goals of development classes with children 3–4 years old
In the second junior group, the strategy for achieving the goals set in the last academic year continues. At the same time, the emphasis, due to the fact that at 3–4 years old children master an extensive complex of sounds and grammar of the language, is placed on the development of speech:
- including children in dialogue (with adults, with each other);
- stimulation of curiosity as a means of understanding the world (due to their age, children constantly ask the question “why”, which adults should never ignore);
- understanding the benefits of group games (fun, interesting, new).
The objectives of developmental classes depend on the educational field within which they are considered.
If in the first group the main indicators of development are the development of upright walking, speech and subject interaction, then in the second the emphasis is on the development of communication skills and the ability to work not side by side, but together
Table: main tasks of developmental classes in the first and second junior groups
Educational area | Tasks for the first junior group | Tasks for the second junior group |
Cognition |
|
|
Social and communicative direction |
|
|
Speech development |
|
|
Physical development | Learning to coordinate body parts when performing exercises with one type of physical activity (running only or jumping only). | Continuation of work on training coordination of movements, but in exercises with 1-2 changes of actions (from walking to running or from walking to squats, and then to jumping). |
Artistic and aesthetic development |
|
|
This is interesting. In the second younger group, the adult becomes a role model for the child, and the desire to copy his actions conflicts with the real capabilities of the little person. The resolution of this internal conflict is facilitated by role-playing games, in which the baby can play the role of a doctor, teacher, mother or father.
Role-playing games help children try on the role of an adult

Types of development activities in younger groups
According to the Federal State Educational Standard (FSES), children aged 1.5–4 years old are provided with educational activities aimed at developing:
- intelligence;
- emotional-volitional sphere;
- attention;
- speeches;
- basic movements;
- creative abilities;
- cultural and hygienic skills (CHS);
- moral and patriotic feelings.
In classes at preschool educational institutions, children learn colors and shapes in a fun way, and also develop creative abilities.
These development vectors in working with children aged 1.5–3 years are implemented in classes on:
- familiarization with the environment (once a week);
- speech development (once a week);
- formation of elementary mathematical concepts (FEMP) (1 time per week);
- physical education (2 times a week);
- fine arts, which includes drawing, modeling and design (once a week);
- music (2 times a week).
This is interesting. This distribution of hours complies with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard and the “From birth to school” program, adopted as the basis in most kindergartens in the country.
In the second junior group, 1 hour of design time is added to the list of activities. Otherwise the timing will be identical. However, for pupils aged 3–4 years, the following hours may be included in the educational process:
- choreography (1 or 2 hours);
- with a speech therapist (usually these are group lessons, individual lessons begin in the middle, when the entire scale has already been formed);
- English language;
- environmental education.
This is interesting. The last two courses in the “From Birth to School” program are included in the elective part, which allows you to organize circle work in these areas.
Developmental tasks for all types of classes are the same; depending on the nature of the educational activity, only the emphasis in the work changes
Methods and techniques for the development of younger preschoolers
When developing development activities, the teacher actively turns to a collection of techniques (tools) within the framework of the methods used in the work.
Table: techniques for development classes with children 1.5–4 years old
Method | Techniques | When and what can it be used for? | Example (group) |
Visibility | Showing an object | When introducing the topic in all types of classes. | Pictures illustrating the theme “Pets”, which show adults and their cubs (the first younger group). Posters with images of numbers (first and second minor). |
Sample Show | When practicing a practical skill. As a rule, in art classes. | Before giving the task to the children of the second junior group to draw a dandelion with cotton swabs, the teacher shows pictures drawn using this technique. | |
Showing methods of action | In order for children to remember the order of movements in an outdoor game or the course of action when creating “balls” from plasticine, the teacher himself shows the process of execution. | In the first junior group, this technique is also actively used when conducting role-playing games: children do not have the experience necessary for them, therefore, in order to show how a cashier in a store or a doctor behaves, the teacher depicts these concepts in the form of a riddle that the kids will ask to your classmates. | |
Use of technical training aids (TSO) |
| For example, in the first junior group, when teaching children how to wash their hands correctly, you can watch the “Octopus” series of a cartoon about kids. | |
Speech methods | Story | Typically used to motivate children before a particular activity. | For example, to introduce children of the second younger group to the topic “Elementary Figures: Square,” before laying out a square from counting sticks, I tell the story of how the evil Baba Yaga wanted to harm the good Tsar Square and broke his figurine on the table. Children help Square by stacking “him” on the tables. |
Conversation (full use is possible only from the second junior group, when the children already have a little experience and a rather large vocabulary). | It is usually used at the beginning of a lesson to motivate children. | For example, we start the topic about family with children aged 3–4 years by answering the questions:
| |
Rhymes (poems, riddles), proverbs. | Riddles and poems are used for motivation, and pure sayings for practicing sound pronunciation. | For example, before considering the topic “Triangle” in the first junior group with our students, with the help of riddles, we repeat the already learned figures - a circle and a square:
| |
Practical methods (designed to solve organizational issues in lesson planning) | Scheduling tasks | It is very important that the tasks are logical and competent: presentation of new material, its connection with what is already known, practice, consolidation. | |
Formulation of the problem | The new task should logically continue the work started earlier. For example, consideration of the topic “Birds in autumn” in the second junior group is a continuation of the topic “Birds” started in the first junior group. | ||
Analysis of work results | Monitoring is necessary to build a strategy for the development of children and compile lesson notes. | ||
Control and correction | An appointment is necessary in order to start working with a specialist on time. For example, if a baby does not simply miss a sound without pronouncing it, but replaces it, that is, in his mind one sound has been replaced by another, and the situation itself will not change. | ||
Determining the causes of deficiencies and developing a project to correct them | If children's mistakes are not corrected, learning new material will be difficult. If you do not track the time at which sounds appear, you may miss the moment when a complex sound is replaced. And this, in turn, significantly reduces the likelihood that a sound that the baby cannot pronounce will appear. | ||
Informative-receptive method (the teacher presents an information block, and the children try to comprehend it) | Observation | Children on a walk observe seasonal changes and discuss them. | |
Excursions | This technique is not practiced in all preschool educational institutions. Involves observation and discussion of presented objects. | ||
Heuristic | Children independently search for information on a particular issue. In the first younger group it is not used, and in the second only if parents are included in the educational process. For example, using the task to create a family tree project. | ||
Games (the main activity for children) |
|
You can see examples of different games for younger preschoolers here. | |
Method of practical tasks (most often they are a form of reflection on a particular topic) |
| For example, familiarization with the number “1” in the first junior group can be summarized by appliqué or painting the template with paints and fingers or traditionally with a brush. |

Design of a subject-development environment in the group
An important component of the group of visual techniques is the subject-development environment, the design of which for children 1.5–4 years old has a playful orientation. At the same time, the content of each of the zones for younger preschoolers does not differ significantly.
This is interesting. Materials can be either factory-made or home-made.
Table: varieties and content of subject development zones for younger preschoolers
Purpose of the corner | What is included |
Sports |
|
For creative activity |
For children 3–4 years old, the list is supplemented with glue and scissors. |
Game |
|
Musical |
|
Speech |
|
Book (often located together with the speech development zone) | 4–6 books with fairy tales, collections of children's rhymes, etc. according to the program (Russian folk tales, works by K. Chukovsky “Fedorino Grief”, “Moidodyr”, “Aibolit”, poems by S. Mikhalkov, A. Barto, etc.). |
Mathematical |
|
Experimental Activity Zone | Exhibitions made from natural materials of unusual shapes or interestingly designed (chestnuts, acorns, ikebana trees made of autumn leaves). For children 3–4 years old, observation tools, such as a magnifying glass, can be added. |
Corner for construction from the designer | Designers made from multi-colored parts. |
Wildlife Zone |
|
Labor education corner | Approved from the second junior group. It includes:
|
In the second junior group, the subject-development environment is supplemented, but does not change completely
Role-playing games
Ideas for simple story games can be found here and here. From about 2 years old, a child becomes interested not only in watching the scenes that you show him, but also in participating in them himself. Therefore, invite your child to take on some role during the game. Act out simple fairy tales (turnip, bun, hen, etc.).
Methodology for conducting development classes in junior groups of preschool educational institutions
Since there are developmental goals in every lesson in kindergarten, it is possible to identify, and therefore trace, the general line of implementation of this area of work with children using the daily planning of children’s activities.

Integrative lesson for children 3-4 years old on the topic: “Parts of the day”Municipal autonomous preschool institution "Kindergarten No. 1 "Swallow" of the city of Guryevsk"
Teacher Martynova Lyudmila Anatolyevna
Teacher Kononova Tatyana Viktorovna
Direct educational activities in mathematics and visual arts are aimed at children of the second junior group mastering knowledge about the parts of the day, about different emotional states of a person, and about the possibility of conveying the character of an image with a spot of color.
Keywords: parts of the day, sun, morning, evening, day, night, sad, joyful, sunny bunny.
Preschool age is the most important stage in the development of a child’s personality. Revealing the child’s individuality, developing his creative potential based on self-expression, self-development, cooperation and co-creation is the priority task of the teacher.
This problem is solved in the process of developing educational areas in an integrated manner. The combination of these areas makes it possible to ensure the comprehensive development of the personality of preschoolers. When conducting organized educational activities, the following principles were observed:
- careful selection of didactic and artistic material, depending on the age capabilities of children
- active inclusion of children in a variety of activities: gaming, artistic and speech, cognitive, visual;
- creating an emotional positive climate;
- individual approach to each child, taking into account his preferences, inclinations, interests;
- using a variety of methods and techniques in working with children, including games.
This organized educational activity was highly appreciated by colleagues and parents of students at an open viewing in a preschool institution.
The summary will help preschool teachers enrich the content of work with children of the second younger group, satisfy their need for knowledge, creation and creativity.
Types of children's activities: productive, cognitive-research, communicative, motor, artistic creativity, perception of fiction.
Integration of educational areas: “Cognition” , “Artistic Creativity” , “Communication” , “Physical Education” .
Goals of teachers:
- Form an idea of the parts of the day
- Develop thinking, attention, imagination and visual perception
- Introduce people to different emotional states
- Teach color spots to convey the character of an image, work with didactic material
- To cultivate moral and aesthetic personality traits in children.
Planned results of mastering the content of the educational area “Cognition” : the child orients himself in the parts of the day, receives a system of knowledge about objects and phenomena.
The planned result of mastering the content of the educational field “Artistic Creativity” : the child conveys the character of the image with a color spot, shows accuracy in the process of doing work, and independence.
Planned results of integrative qualities: the child is interested in what is new in the world around him, is able to act independently, takes an active part in the educational process, knows how to work according to rules and patterns, accepts independently acquired knowledge and methods of activity.
Materials and equipment:
- demonstration material: Teddy bear (toy), stand with shelves, pictures depicting parts of the day, model of the sun, easel, brush, yellow gouache, mirror
- handouts: cards depicting parts of the day, sheets of paper, yellow gouache, brushes
- audio recording: sounds of living nature.
Methods and techniques:
- Verbal: artistic expression, leading question, problem situation, TRIZ, verbal instruction, verbal game;
- Visual: surprise moment, examination;
- Practical: working with didactic material, drawing;
- Games: “sunny bunny” , “Day and night” , “Walk in nature” .
Progress of the lesson:
I. Organizational moment.
Educator: - Get into a circle, let's wake up our fingers (finger game)
“The fingers played hide-and-seek And the heads were removed. Like this, like this And the heads were removed. The fingers began to count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the fingers went to sleep. Suddenly they woke up, perked up and began to play. They are so friendly. They are so necessary.
II. Introduction to the topic.
Educator: - Guys, look who came to us (approaches Mishka)
Educator: - Bear, why are you so sad? What's happened?
Bear: - I was asked to put the pictures in order on a shelf, but I don’t know how to do it correctly. Help me please.
Educator: - Shall we help Mishka complete the task? (go to the stand on which one demonstration picture is placed, containing the main features of the parts of the day - morning, afternoon, evening, night).
Educator: - But in order to help “Mishka” , we ourselves must figure it out and complete the task without errors. We'll figure out?
Educator: - I looked carefully at these pictures and saw something in common. Do you see? (if they don’t answer, ask a riddle).
“Without me, there will be no light. Without me, there will be no summer. In the mornings, I knock on the windows, Wake up, it’s risen...” (sun)
Show the model of the sun.
“In the morning the sun rises, calls everyone to the street, I leave the house. Hello, sun, it’s me!”
Educator: - Guys, say hello to the sun.
III. Working with handouts.
Educator: - Guys, when does this happen?
Morning woke up
The sun has risen
Everyone woke up and stretched.
Let's think about what we do in the morning (get up, wash, go to kindergarten, do gymnastics, have breakfast).
Educator: - Well done! Do we now know which pictures we need to put on the first shelf? Let's help Mishka (children choose the right pictures from all those lying on the table and put them on 1 shelf, individual work).
Educator: - Meanwhile, the sun rises higher and higher. Show how it rises high (children rise on their toes, stretch their arms as high as possible).
Educator: - The day comes and the sun calls us to go for a walk. Let's take a walk, breathe some fresh air, straighten our shoulders. There are many flowers in the clearing, lean over and smell them. What a wonderful scent.
Educator: - What else do we do during the day? (working out, walking, playing, having lunch, napping) Guys, can we find the right pictures? We continue to help Mishka (children choose pictures and put them on the 2nd shelf, individual work)
Educator: - The sun worked all day and warmed everyone up.
“Sun, well done sun,
It worked out in the end.”
What do we tell the sun for his work? (children thank the sun).
“I’ve worked since the morning, it’s time to rest.” The sun goes down and it comes... (evening)
Educator: - What are we doing in the evening? (we go home from kindergarten, read, watch the program “Good night, kids” )
Educator: - Everything we just said will be found in the pictures and put on the shelf (individual work)
Then turn on the audio recording “Tired toys are sleeping”
Educator: - The toys sleep, the sun sleeps, the children sleep and it comes... (night)
Educator: - The sun fell asleep, and stars and the moon appeared in the sky. Let's display the remaining pictures (individual work).
Imperceptibly attach a smile to Mishka.
Educator: - Do you think we helped Mishka arrange the pictures correctly? Have you noticed that his mood has changed? There was a bear... (sad), and now... (cheerful)
He smiles, you and I smile too. What's your mood now?
Fine Arts teacher: - We now have another cheerful guest. Do you know his name? ( a “sunny bunny” and jumps along the walls).
Fine Arts teacher: - That's right, this is a sunny bunny, the sun's younger brother. He will definitely cheer up the gloomiest person. Look how he jumps around the group. Try to catch it (children catch a “sunny bunny” ).
The teacher, taking advantage of the fact that the “sunny bunny” jumped onto the easel, says: “Now I’ll catch you,” and with a quick movement of the brush draws a bright yellow spot. Then the “bunny” begins to jump on the leaves laid out on the tables. Children try to “catch sunbeams” and draw them on their pieces of paper.
Art teacher: - Well done, guys! You have caught the “sunny spot” now, as soon as you are in a bad mood, you can look at your drawing, and then all the grievances will be forgotten and your soul will feel happier!

Monitoring the development of younger preschoolers in kindergarten
To assess the level of development of the child, monitoring is carried out in kindergarten twice a year (in January and May in the first junior group, and in September and May in the second), which includes an assessment of the child’s activity in all areas. The algorithm was established by the Federal State Educational Standard, compiled as part of the work of the preschool educational institution under the program “From Birth to School” and implies the analysis of such areas as:
- cognition;
- social and communicative development;
- speech development;
- artistic and aesthetic development;
- physical development.
Diagnostics shows a successful or erroneous vector for achieving the child’s development goals
You can familiarize yourself with the diagnostic cards for the first junior group in the publication of teacher N. N. Lokuneva. Monitoring schemes for the second junior group are presented in the work of teacher E. P. Kozhina.
The specificity of the goals and objectives of educational activities in the first and second junior groups is determined by the developmental characteristics of children of this age. Children actively explore the world, learn to interact with peers and adults, and all this happens against the backdrop of active speech development. It is these areas that are the priority when developing classes for children aged 1.5–4 years.
Games and activities to develop sensorimotor skills
What's new at this age:
- We play with clothespins (we attach clothespins to templates, transfer pieces of foam rubber using clothespins);
- Winder games;
- Making soap foam (learning to whisk, blowing bubbles through a straw);
- We find objects in the bag by touch;
- We learn to organize objects, focusing simultaneously on color and size, or color and shape;
An example of a toy suitable for this is cylinders (Labyrinth, My-shop, KoroBoom)
