I. Explanatory note

1.1. Justification of the need to develop and implement the proposed program in the educational process of kindergarten.

The game of checkers is very popular in our country. In terms of popularity, checkers ranks eighth among other sports. This wise folk game has firmly entered our everyday life. Its age is very respectable - at least 5 thousand years. As an intellectual sport, checkers has become a recognized part of human culture.

Peaceful checkers wrestling is a competition in endurance, logical thinking, and the ability to foresee the development of events. The rules of the game of checkers are simple and generally accessible. Therefore, some people have a misconception about this game as being very easy and simple. In reality, learning to play checkers well is far from easy and simple, since this game contains many difficulties, subtleties and depth.

There is no need to prove the obvious usefulness of the game of checkers. It will help instill in children discipline, perseverance, the ability to concentrate and think logically. And it is absolutely necessary to preserve and develop the system of teaching checkers in preschool institutions. Increasingly, kindergarten teachers are asking questions: “Is it possible to teach preschool children to play checkers or is this only available to gifted children? Are kids up to the task of this useful, exciting game? A detailed answer was given in his article “On the question of training, education and development of six-year-old children” by Doctor of Psychology, Professor (although it did not directly talk about checkers):

“Currently, the attention of scientists around the world is focused on the enormous potential development opportunities hidden in preschool childhood... Pedagogical, psychological and physiological research conducted at the Institute of Preschool Education of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR... as well as abroad, indicate that the potential psychophysiological opportunities for acquiring knowledge and general development in children 5–6 years old, but also at an earlier age, then it has long received a positive solution in Soviet pedagogy” (Soviet pedagogy. - 1973. - No. 1).

Such a strong, authoritative conclusion about the functional characteristics of the body of five to six-year-old children gives every reason to widely popularize checkers among older preschoolers.

For systematic and consistent work with children on the basics of checkers art, a training program is simply necessary. There are checkers programs for sports schools. These programs are designed to train high-class athletes.

This program is intended for the checkers club of preschool educational institutions and provides for children to study material on theory and practice, the history of checkers, and participate in competitions. Along with this, the circle is working on the proper organization of leisure time for preschool children, instilling activity in them, and developing norms and principles of moral behavior.

A distinctive feature of this program is the great emphasis on the initial training of children, mainly of senior preschool age, starting from scratch.

The checkers lesson program provides for the acquisition of the basic knowledge of the theory and practice of playing checkers in a multiple, descriptive and fabulous form. In terms of creativity, systematic classes in this program should bring the beginning checkers player closer to the ability to reason mentally, analyze, build witty combinations on the checkers board, and anticipate the plans of a partner. With further improvement of playing technique, you need to learn to search and patiently find the most appropriate move in each position.

For the successful operation of the circle, a sufficient supply of equipment is required: checkers with boards, a chess clock, a demonstration board, an office for classes, checkers literature for the teacher.

II. Purpose and objectives of the program project

Educational game project “Checkers Opening”

An experimental educational program designed for children aged 5–7 years. The implementation period is 2 years. The number of children in the group is 6 people (on average). Classes in the first year of study are recommended to be held twice a week < Figure 1

>.

Learning the game of checkers is a complex and time-consuming process. Therefore, it is very important to bring to the consciousness of the preschooler that achieving sports success is possible only with perseverance and hard work. Without cultivating a strong will, you cannot achieve serious results in checkers. The trainer-teacher must constantly emphasize this idea both during classes in the circle and outside the circle. Every preschooler is required to know the checkers code.

While studying according to the program, children acquire a number of qualities: perseverance, concentration, consistency of reasoning, ingenuity, the ability to analyze, think abstractly and logically, and use associative fantasy, which will help them solve many life situations.

Organization of checkers classes

The game of checkers is diverse and not as simple as it seems at first glance. Checkers have their own characteristics, and the difficulty in leading a battle is that all checkers and warriors are twins. Checkers classes are planned to be conducted according to the principle of moving from a simple explanation to a more complex one. Educational material is presented in the form of fairy tales < Figure 2

>. Classes are conducted in a combined way, alternating elements of theoretical and practical novelty with gaming and competitive skills, as well as educational activities. In the process of practicing checkers, children receive a whole range of useful skills and abilities necessary in practical activities and life. When conducting classes, you should focus on the most active children, but you must strive to ensure that the majority of students also learn this material. At the end of the school year, it is recommended to hold final classes at which the achievements of each child are reviewed and diplomas are awarded.

Diagnostics of the development of children's ability to play checkers

(, Atayan children playing checkers. - Directory of a senior teacher. No. 8\August 2011)

Diagnostic technique:

Diagnosis of the development of children's ability to play checkers involves questions to the child, observation of his play with a teacher, peers, as well as conversations with parents about how the preschooler plays checkers at home.

Diagnostic map of skill development

senior preschoolers play checkers.

Explanations for the table items:

1. The child is asked to arrange checkers in the amount of 24 pieces of two colors for further play.

2. The teacher asks the child who starts the game and why? How to determine who is playing with white checkers?

3. The teacher invites the child to start the game, watching how he makes moves.

4. In the game, the teacher creates a situation in which the child has the opportunity to hit the opponent’s checkers either one at a time or several.

5. The teacher suggests playing out the diagrams in accordance with a certain condition.

6. The player’s understanding of the advantage of a king over a regular checker is checked directly during the game.

7. It is advisable to carry out the test in a game with both adults and peers.

8. If a child leaves a batch unfinished, the teacher should try to find out the reason. Reluctance to lose a game, resentment towards an opponent, a lag in the count of the opponent's beaten checkers is regarded as a low level of development of gaming motivation.

Criteria for evaluating results:

High level

– the child completed the task independently and correctly;

Average level

– to correctly complete the task, the child needs several independent attempts or a hint from the teacher;

Low level

– the child did not complete the task even after the teacher’s prompting.

"The Magic World of Checkers"

This game also develops in children qualities that are important for their future life, such as the ability to think independently and bear responsibility for decisions made, and to deal adequately with failures and defeats. Moreover, work in a circle involves joint activities of children, which improves communication skills, fosters a friendly attitude of children towards each other, thereby creating a favorable emotional background in the group.

I recommend starting to teach children how to play checkers in the senior group of kindergarten (from 5 years old). It is at this age that children’s attention becomes more stable and voluntary, and the prognostic and visual-imaginative functions of thinking

, which allow us to solve more complex problems. By the age of five, children become more diligent (they can engage in one activity for 20–25 minutes) and are able to play according to established rules.

When learning to play checkers, first of all, it is important to know that children should never be forced, they must want it themselves. In the group there will always be active and curious children who love “something new”; first they get involved in the work, then other children, looking at them, also begin to get involved in playing checkers.

The main thing is that the learning process for children is unobtrusive and interesting. It is necessary to introduce children to material that is new to them in a simple and very accessible form for them to understand. For example, you can tell children about the rules of the game of checkers in the form of a fairy tale or in a poetic version, which, having memorized, children will quickly begin to navigate them and stop getting confused (the most common mistake is moving back with a simple checker in the absence of “safe” moves forward).

The rules of the game of checkers at first glance seem simple, but, as my experience of working with children shows, to play checkers it is not enough just to know the rules, since this game contains many different kinds of difficulties, subtleties and intricacies. In order for children to learn how to play checkers well, they need systematic lessons that contain a minimum of theory and a maximum of practice.

Introducing and teaching children to play checkers occurs in stages, according to the principle: from simple to complex

. First, children need to be introduced to the history of this game, then shown the board, black and white chips, and then taught how to correctly place checkers on the playing field, explain why all checkers are placed only on dark squares (this is necessary so that opponents’ checkers met in the game) and so on. It is also necessary to clearly formulate the essence of the game, which is to, when moving your checkers forward, destroy your opponent’s checkers or block all his moves. After children have learned general information about checkers, they can begin to learn the basic rules of the game. I offer my own poetic version, which greatly helps children quickly master the rules of this smart game.
