DIDACTIC GAMES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ECOLOGICAL CULTURE OF PRESCHOOL AND PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN CALLED "THE BENEFITS AND HARM TO NATURE FROM THE PEOPLE’S WORK AT DIFFERENT SEASONS"
The role of the didactic game in the formation of the ecological culture of preschool children and junior schoolchildren is great. So, the authors compiled a collection of didactic games on the development of the ecological culture of preschool children and junior schoolchildren “The benefits and harm to nature from the people’s work at different seasons” which includes 24 didactic games consisting of a series of topical pictures in the following directions: the benefits and harm to nature from the labor of people in autumn (5 games), the benefits and harm to nature from the labor of people in winter (6 games), the benefits and harm to nature from the labor of people in spring (6 games), the benefit and harm to nature from the labor of people in summer (7 games). For each series of topical pictures, questions were made up for identifying cause and effect relationships in nature and were given presumptive answers. Games are presented in three languages: Kazakh, Russian and English. These games can be used both in supplementary education and in preschool classes in the study of the subject “Ecology”, in the primary school at the lessons of cognition of the world while studying the unit “The World Around Us” in Grade 1, “The Environment” in grade 2, “Nature“ and “Flora and fauna“ in grades 3-4. The collection was tested in 2015-2017 school years and was licensed by the regional council for examination and licensing in 2017 (Series AA № 670 dated April 28, 2017).
