With the help of a Lego constructor, kids can create their own unique world, simultaneously mastering the most complex mathematical knowledge, developing motor coordination, fine motor skills, and training the eye. Design classes stimulate curiosity, develop figurative and spatial thinking, activate fantasy and imagination, awaken initiative and independence, as well as interest in invention and creativity. The teacher faces the most important task - to create the necessary conditions for involving children in an exciting activity that allows them to reveal the potential abilities of their pupils.

The goals of teaching Lego design in kindergarten, specific tasks and techniques

Lego construction is a type of productive activity based on creative modeling() using a wide range of universal Lego elements. The use of Lego-constructors helps to realize serious educational tasks, because in the process of exciting creative and cognitive game favorable conditions are created that stimulate the comprehensive development of a preschooler in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard.

In the design process, favorable conditions are created that contribute to the comprehensive development of preschoolers

Lego technology is an example of the integration of all educational areas both in organized educational activities and in the independent activities of children. Here is an example of the intersection of educational and educational areas in the process of children's design:

• - the child selects, counts the parts necessary in size, color, configuration.
• The development of speech and communication skills - the child replenishes the dictionary with new words, communicates with adults in the process of construction, asks specific questions about various objects, clarifies their properties.
• Correctional work - has a beneficial effect on the development of the child as a whole (fine motor skills, memory, attention, logical and spatial thinking, creativity, etc. develop).
• Educational work - playing together with other children and adults helps the baby become more organized, disciplined, purposeful, emotionally stable and efficient, thus playing a positive role in the process of preparing the child for school.

Tasks of the Lego methodology

Junior preschool age (2–4 years):

• learn to distinguish and correctly name the details of the Lego constructor "Hollow" (brick, beak, bridge, machine base, semicircle, oval, etc.);
• introduce elementary mental operations of analyzing buildings according to the following parameters: shape, size, color of parts, learn to compare objects;
• create the simplest design according to the model and the agreed conditions, for example, a fence for a farm, a garage for a car;
• replenish the dictionary with new phrases: long (short), wide (narrow) blue path;
• develop fine motor skills and visual coordination in the process of fastening the details of the designer.

With kids 3-4 years old, Lego sets with large elements and simple connections of parts are used.

Middle preschool age (4–5 years):

• to form knowledge about symmetry, proportions, the concept of part and whole;
• learn to design using Lego cards;
• memorize and freely use the names of Lego parts in speech.

In the middle group, elements of a medium-sized constructor are used, schemes, photos and pictures with images of models are used

Senior and preparatory groups:

• stimulate children's technical creativity;
• teach modeling according to the drawing and your own plan;
• to form the ability to independently solve technical problems;
• introduce the basics of computer modeling.

In working with older preschoolers, you can use complicated models from small parts.

Basic ideas of Lego technology:

• from simple to complex;
• age and individual characteristics;
• creativity and efficiency;
• development of creative abilities;
• an integrated approach that provides for the synthesis of teaching, playing, developing activities.

Features of practical use, taking into account the age of children:

• With kids 3-4 years old, Lego sets with large elements and simple connections of parts are used.
• With children 4–5 years old, design becomes more complicated, medium-sized elements are used, and more complex options for connecting parts are used. In the middle group, color photos and pictures with images of models are used, according to which children must complete the construction. Creative activity is carried out according to the theme, model, design and the simplest conditions.
• At 6–7 years old, for technical creativity, a variety of different types Lego-constructors, from large with simple connections of elements to the smallest with complex technique of execution. In working with older preschoolers, you can use tasks in the form of graphic diagrams, complicated models of future buildings, work according to the plan, conditions, various thematic tasks.

One of the forms of implementation of the Lego technique is the festival

Forms of implementation of the Lego technique in kindergarten:

• Planned classes (10-15 minutes per junior group, 20 minutes in the middle, 25–30 minutes in the senior and preparatory).
• Individual work of a teacher in a pair with a child or with a subgroup of children (once a week, no more than 40 minutes):
  • preparing the child for the competition;
  • work with gifted or lagging children.
• Long-term and short-term projects, the participants of which may be:
  • educator;
  • children and parents.
• Everyday self-construction, construction game in free time from planned activities.
• Festivals, contests, quizzes.
• Circle work, which is carried out by teachers of a preschool institution.

Theatrical game develops imagination and creativity

Methods of working with children in the classroom for designing from a block constructor

The following teaching methods are used in the learning process:

• Introductory conversation, with the help of which the teacher draws attention to the topic of the lesson. For example, at the beginning of a lesson in preparatory group the teacher tells a fascinating tale about a kind bird that no one wanted to be friends with because of its large beak. The bird was sad for a long time, but then she found out that there is an amazing country in the world called Lego, in which all animals and birds live very friendly. In this wonderful country, all objects and even inhabitants are made of small details. There is only one way to get there - you need to go through a magical bridge that turns anyone who steps on it into a handful of small cubes and bricks. If the children correctly assemble the bird figurine according to the scheme, they will help her come to life and overcome all the trials on the way to the land of friendship and happiness, in which she can make friends with a crocodile and a monkey.
• A problem situation that will interest, activate thinking and involve children in active constructive activity. For example, to the sound of music hot-air balloon the Lego astronaut descends, he greets the children and tells his amazing story. Children learn that he came from a distant Lego planet. While landing on Earth, his spaceship crashed, and now he cannot return home. Lego Man asks the guys to help him model a new rocket that will take him to his home planet.
• Role-playing game. As a rule, Lego construction turns into a game activity: children use the models of railway stations, ships, cars, etc. built by them in role-playing games, as well as theater games, when the guys first build scenery, create fairy-tale characters from the designer. Playing mini-performances on the Lego stage helps the child to understand the storyline more deeply, develop retelling or communication skills.

  Lego construction often turns into a play activity: children use the models they have built in role-playing games

• Didactic game. An example of exercises aimed at mastering sensory and spatial concepts using Lego technology:
  • "Find a detail like mine";
  • "Build with your eyes closed";
  • "Find the same building as on the card";
  • "Decompose by color";
  • "Assemble the figurine from memory" (from 4-6 parts).
• Assignment according to the model, accompanied by a demonstration and explanations of the teacher. Example: Guys, look, I have a frog on my table, constructed from Lego parts. Let's take a closer look and see how it's done. The eyes are made of green cubes, the mouth is a red brick, and the paws are made of green bricks.
• Design using technological maps and instructions. You can offer children work according to schemes in game form, for example, the teacher tells the children that today they have to become shipbuilders. The designers of the shipbuilding plant sent the drawings of the ship, the children need to build models of ships according to these schemes. To get into the design bureau, you need to overcome a small test: find the part in the bag by touch and say what it is called.

Work according to schemes can be offered to preschoolers in a playful way

• Creative design from a concept or from a drawn model. Such classes are practiced in work with older preschoolers who have already mastered the basic techniques, and they can be offered work on pictures, photographs depicting an object on a favorite topic.

Design methods relevant for preschoolers

Ways to teach preschoolers to design:

• according to the sample;
• by model;
• according to the conditions;
• according to cards-schemes;
• by free will;
• thematic design.

What are Lego building classes?

• Introductory - the teacher conducts a theoretical acquaintance of preschoolers with new Lego parts and design techniques, depending on the configuration of the set (in the younger and middle groups- set "Duplo", from senior preschool age - set "Dacta").
• Schematic Lesson - Learn the basics of schematic modeling step by step algorithm. First, the guys create the simplest designs of boats, bridges, airplanes, cars, little men according to the model, and then they begin to invent their own models.
• Memory lesson - helps to consolidate and improve the acquired basic skills, provides an opportunity to train visual memory.
• Thematic - designing on a specific topic, stimulating the development of creative imagination. Examples of topics: Multi-storey building, Fire truck, Bridge over the river, Doll furniture, Roofs and awnings, Man, Boat, Magic fish, Lego mosaic.
• Occupation within the framework of the theme of the project is a collective free creative activity of a search character. Each child participates in the planning of the future building, is responsible for his own area of ​​work (bridge, traffic light, car, etc.), has the opportunity to express his opinion about the content and goals of this project. As part of the project, children can also receive an interesting homework task, which parents will help them complete. An example of topics for creative projects: “Village house”, “Gifts for the holidays”, “Journey to Africa”, “Zoo”, “Lego Olympics”, “Robocity”. In the senior group, you can conduct a comprehensive project on the theme "Terenty-grouse":
  
• Control - allows the teacher, after studying a complex topic, to monitor the knowledge and skills of pupils and identify children who need individual help.
• Competitive - a competition that is held in the form of a game. Children, by lot or at will, are divided into 3 teams, choose the chief designer or architect and start creating. The results of the competition are summed up by the jury, which includes an educator, a speech therapist, a psychologist, and two or three children. The topics of the competitive lesson can be: “New sports complex”, “Visiting a fairy tale”, “City of the future”, etc.
• Combined - solves several diverse educational tasks, for example, "The world of fairy tales", "One, two, three or build numbers", "Geometric dominoes", "Pets", "Underwater world", "Urban transport".
• Final - summarizes the results of a certain educational period (half year, year), most often takes place in the form of a presentation creative works.

A competitive lesson is a competition that is held in the form of a game.

Organization and conduct of classes with Lego in kindergarten

A lesson in kindergarten has its own logical structure:

1. Organizational stage - a motivating start in a game form (up to 5 minutes).
2. The main stage (from 10 minutes in the younger group to 25 minutes in the preparatory one) is the most active practical part of the lesson, which includes the following types activities:
   • showing a sample, explanation by the teacher step by step instructions, analysis of the card scheme;
   • independent work of children according to a model, scheme or creative plan, preschoolers can work individually, in pairs or as part of a small subgroup;
   • physical education, video exercises with Lego men, outdoor games, finger or breathing exercises that will help you relax, and then return to exciting construction with fresh energy.
3. The final, final stage (up to 5 minutes) - reflection, cleaning of workplaces, organization of an exhibition of children's works. The analysis is carried out taking into account the following criteria:
   • neatness, symmetry, integrity and attractive appearance constructions;
   • technical skills and abilities;
   • the degree of independence of the work done;
   • purposefulness, discipline, diligence, a sense of camaraderie and emotional responsiveness, shown during the work on the project.

Where to begin

It is important to conduct the organizational part of the lesson in an unusual, interesting, exciting and creative way. A bright, intriguing beginning will help to form a positive attitude towards the lesson and the teacher, create a favorable emotional mood, liberate the children and awaken the desire to experiment and create. To enhance cognitive interest, search activity and attention of preschoolers, the teacher usually uses rich and varied motivating material in combination with pedagogical techniques in the introductory part of the lesson:

• a moment of surprise - the introduction of a toy character into a dialogue with children, a beloved fairy-tale hero who will ask for help, puzzle and please, invite children on an exciting journey to a fairy-tale land;
• video message of a fairy-tale or fictional character;
• poems and riddles;
• reading a fragment of a work of fiction;
• didactic and outdoor games;
• informative conversation and discussion of issues;
• problem situation;
• musical accompaniment, viewing pictures, demonstrating presentations, videos or animated films.

It is important to conduct the organizational part of the lesson in an unusual, interesting, exciting and creative way.

Table: examples of the motivational part of the lesson

Topic of the lesson	Description of the motivating part
"Journey to Lego Country" (problem situation)	Video message from Lego country residents: "Hello guys! The insidious wizard broke all the rides in our favorite park fun games and entertainment. Now our residents have stopped smiling and become very sad. We ask you to visit our country, help us renovate the amusement park and bring back smiles to all Lego people.”
"Circus" (problem situation)	An impromptu circus consists of high chairs arranged in a semicircle. Children take places in four multi-colored sectors, according to the tickets, which are Lego pieces in red, blue, green and yellow. On the screen is the plot of a circus performance, a teacher dressed as a clown devotes the children to the problem: “Guys, a misfortune happened in the circus, all our trained animals disappeared. The show will be cancelled. Will you help bring back our top artists?" The children agree, and the happy clown offers to show some tricks with Lego parts (didactic games).
Didactic fairy tale on the theme "Traffic light"	Such an activity will help not only to master the basics of design, but also to get acquainted with the rules of behavior on the road. Once upon a time there were three friends: the hare Mitya, the bear cub Fedya and the fox Lizonka. They decided one day to play ball in the playground, and the playground was across the road. Friends stopped near the road and began to think about how to cross to the other side. The bunny's dad noticed their confusion and told them how to safely and correctly cross the road. The pedestrian crossing is drawn with white stripes (zebra). It turns out that the crossing has its own important boss named Traffic Light, who commands pedestrians and cars. You can recognize it by three circles that light up in turn. If the red eye is on, then you need to stand still. A yellow eye means "attention" - cars begin to slow down, and pedestrians prepare to move. When the green light turns on, you can safely cross the road.
“We are building a gate” (discussion of issues in the younger group)	Let's see what construction parts our trucks brought. What's this? (bricks) What can be built with bricks? (gates, steps, houses) What are our gates? Are they durable, comfortable and beautiful? (picture display) What is the gate for? (so cars can get in and out) What kind of gates need to be built so that large cars can pass through? (wide and high) Do you want to build a gate? Think about what cars your gate will be for.
“Dunno came to visit us” (moment of surprise)	Dunno came to visit the guys with a suitcase, but it turns out that the “key” will help to open it, which will be the guessed riddle. After completing the task and opening the suitcase, the children find a set of constructor and diagram cards. Dunno sees the mysterious details for the first time and does not understand at all what can be made of them. The teacher asks the children to come up with and design interesting and beautiful models, and then tell Dunno about them.

Fascinating didactic games will create a favorable emotional mood

Table: games for classes according to the Lego method

Name of the game	Description
"Magic Dictation"	A geometric mosaic that helps to consolidate the concepts of spatial perception: top - bottom, right - left. According to the verbal instructions, the kids independently place the Lego parts on the plate.
"Pick up the chain"	The game develops the ability to compose the simplest logical chains of alternating parts, selected by color, shape, size.
	The game reinforces the names of the details, develops attention and memory.
	Drawing up various symmetrical patterns.
"Mystery Guest"	Construction of a simple model according to verbal instructions in the form of a dictation.
"Magic Path"	When building a path, you must follow the rules, for example, each player continues the logical chain by placing a brick of the same color or size.
"Gather the Parts" (mobile game)	Children are divided into two teams of players, each of which has its own part of a certain color, for example: two by two blue and two by four red. Players take turns transferring parts from one box to another, the team that completed the task faster wins.
"Lego little men"	The little men in red suits symbolize vowel sounds, and those in blue suits - consonants. By changing the “little men” in places, the child receives new sound combinations and new syllables. In the future, Lego-men will be replaced by red and blue bricks, with which you can make word and sentence patterns.
Role-playing game "Space Journey"	The game is aimed at developing cognitive interest, interaction skills and constructive abilities. The teacher invites the children to prepare for the flight to the orbital station, explaining along the way that this is such a space house for scientific research. Before the flight, astronauts receive assignments from engineers, doctors, biologists, and astronomers. Children, together with the teacher, choose a team of astronauts, a group of doctors who will prepare the astronauts for the flight. Then engineers, designers and builders are appointed who will create aircraft according to the drawn pattern. Designers plan the sequence of their actions: they build a platform from plates, fuel sections from bricks, a rocket body and nose from cylinders and a cone. The astronauts are given a task: to draw oncoming planets, stars, to study the behavior of plants in space. The rocket goes on a journey, doctors, engineers and designers are watching the flight, the radio operator is responsible for uninterrupted communication.
"Equilibrium" (mobile game)	The child puts a Lego brick on his head, the other children give him tasks, for example, sit down twice, take three steps forward, turn right, circle. If the child completes three tasks and does not drop the part, then he won and is awarded a prize.
"Jump to the toy"	Pre-designed and prepared toys (houses, bridges, towers, cars, etc.) are placed around the playroom. On a signal, the children begin to move towards the toys. The first child to reach the goal wins.
"Continue the story"	Children, together with the teacher, determine who they will compose a story about, choose figures from a set. The teacher starts the phrase, the children select or design the right toy, then everyone comes up with a continuation and end of the phrase.
"Toy Room"	Children choose cards with furniture design schemes, discuss with the teacher each option and the purpose of the piece of furniture, the sequence of actions.
"Who Can Do What"	Children consider an animal figurine from a set and name its actions, for example, a mouse runs, jumps, gnaws; a kitten - purrs, somersaults, drinks milk, scratches, plays with a ball; puppy - barks, plays, wags its tail, runs, etc.
"Find a toy"	The teacher lays out pre-prepared crafts, then asks the children to answer questions and find the constructed toy, for example, which toy is on the left? What's below? What's more right?
"One-Many"	The purpose of the game is to consolidate the skills of forming the forms of the genitive plural of nouns. The teacher lays out simple buildings made by children (houses, flowers, cars, etc.) on the table and builds a conversation on this topic.
	The teacher lays out small structures on two plates (fish, chickens, cubes, etc.) and asks the children to put the required number of figures on the plates.
"Teremok" (director's play)	The teacher invites children to construct figures of heroes of a fairy tale story and beat a fairy tale. During the performance of the task, children characterize the hero, think over and create an image, pronounce words on his behalf, the teacher directs the work of the children, if necessary, asks leading questions.
"Yard" (to the fairy tale "Chicken" by K. Chukovsky)	The teacher invites the children to go to the poultry yard. Children remember who they can meet there, create heroes together and come up with their own fairy tale plot.

Table: an example of a summary of a lesson-project on Lego design in the preparatory group "Let's build an amusement park"

Author	R.R. Bodanova
Target	Create a children's park using LEGO-DUPLO.
Tasks	find out what a park, children's park is; discuss and approve the objects of the park; create a plan - a diagram of a children's park; arrange objects according to the plan; submit a project for defense.
Preparatory stage	Preliminary work (motivation to collect information). Last week we reminisced about how we spent the summer. Many children visited different children's amusement parks. Share your impressions. - There are parks in every city. People walk there, trees, flowers grow, there are fountains. In the summer, I was in Luna Park with my family. This is a children's amusement park. There were roller coasters, children's Railway, ferris wheel, attractions. In a cafe in the park, we ate ice cream and drank cola. Have any of you been to the children's park yet? - I was in the children's park "Fairy Island". There was also a Ferris wheel, various carousels, you can ride a Japanese bicycle, ATV, scooter. There was also a pond in which swans swam. We fed them. We also ate ice cream at the cafe. caregiver - Children's parks are visited by all children with great pleasure and this topic is very interesting to us. Each city park has its own name, its own history of creation, for example: one of the "ancestors" of the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bcreating the Wonderland park in Moscow is the landscape architect V.I. Ivanov (Explains the meaning of the word landscape). What is a park? Why are children's parks called children's parks? (homework assignment).
Organizational part	Work rules 1. During work, do not shout, do not interfere or push each other; 2. Make changes to the buildings under an agreement with the architect. caregiver - When creating a model of a supermarket from a LEGO constructor, we got acquainted with such professions as an architect, an engineer. In order to start construction, it is necessary, as before, to distribute the roles in our project. We decided to choose a chief architect, and then engineers responsible for each object in the park. Main architector - Let's discuss what will happen in our park. I propose to create a playground with carousels and swings in the Children's Park. Vitaliy: We need to make a roller coaster. Svetlana: Let there be a zoo in our park. It's so interesting! Victor: Let's also make a pond. I saw how beautiful it is. It will have swans and a bridge. Alena: We need to make an Ice Cream Cafe and toy shops. Stepan: A car park also needs to be created. Lyudmila: And decorate our park with flowers, flower beds, beautiful trees. Ivanna: Let's make a scene with benches. Main architector - Let's summarize: playground with carousels and swings; sandbox with slides zoo; pond cafe "Ice cream"; car park; toy store, landscaping, putting benches. Main architector - Before proceeding with the construction of the park, a plan-scheme is needed. Let the entire territory of the park be this sheet of paper (whatman paper, A1). Let's agree on a color for our buildings. They discuss which building - what color and put it on the plan (attach). Pink - swing; yellow - slide; blue - attractions; blue - a bridge over a pond; gray - zoo cages; red - cafe; beige - benches; brown - toy stores. The result was a layout of the Children's Park. Main architector - Now we will determine on the diagram where the trees and flowers will be located. A landscape designer is responsible for the landscaping of our park. The children are discussing. - Everyone will make a proposal where his object will be located on the plan-scheme. Beat using symbols. The chief architect compares with the plan, approves. Execution of buildings. Discussion within groups. The architect enforces the rules.
Main part	Independent work of children.
Final part	Main architector - All the guys finished the construction and placed according to the plan. Landscape architects get to work. We present the project of the jury. They can distribute parts of the speech between engineers, the chief architect can represent everything. - In order to answer the question of what a park is, my parents and I looked at a children's encyclopedia, the book "Why," in the group we watched films about a car park, a technology park, about Disneyland park. We learned that parks are different, but it is important for whom they are. If for cars - this is a car park, if cars come for a while - this is parking; there may be technoparks, which means that the park has a variety of equipment. The children's park is called children's because there are many entertainments for children. In such parks, there are necessarily carousels, car parks, a Ferris wheel, that is, attractions. We present to your attention the project of the children's park of our group. The park has toy shops, cafes, carousels, a pond with a bridge, a car park. Whoever wants can go to admire the swans in the park, someone will swing on a swing. Thus, we answered the main question: a children's park is called a children's park, because all parks have entertainment for children, children come there to have fun. There you can jump, run, shoot, ride, eat ice cream. We also built our own park for children. It contains the following objects (listed). Thus, we believe that the goal has been achieved. During the construction of the park, all proposals can be taken into account. Thank you for your attention! The jury asks no more than two clarifying questions. The jury consists of pupils of the preparatory group No. 2. The chairman of the jury is an educator.

Lego is not just a fun toy, it is a great tool that helps to enrich the inner world of a child, revealing his personal characteristics, showing creativity and realizing opportunities. A variety of activities using Lego technology provide a real chance for every kid to develop logical and spatial thinking, imagination, independence and interaction skills with peers, and teachers to captivate children with technical creativity. A creative game will help to understand the child more deeply, therefore, to develop an effective tool for solving the problems of both the child and the teacher.

Relevance

Lego construction is one of the most modern directions in the development of children, widely using three-dimensional models of the real world and the subject-play environment for learning and developing a child. LEGO allows children to learn by playing and learning through play. The most important thing is to give children the opportunity to "live" the material that is interesting to them. Learning new things, children learn to express their attitude to what is happening. By constructing, they are immersed in a situation organized by adults. In the course of educational activities, children become builders, architects and creators, while playing, they come up with and implement their ideas. In the process of activity, a variety of tasks are solved: psychological, cognitive activity develops. While traveling, children help their friends, help heroes out of trouble, learn Interesting Facts. Preparing for the journey, children design, learn poetry, work with diagrams. At the same time, children develop creative imagination, communication skills, curiosity. The main thing is that there are no spectators, there are only participants, and everyone participates with great desire. The knowledge acquired by children is relevant and necessary for them. A meaningful, interesting material is absorbed easily and forever.

2. Practical stage:designing models of attractions (studying the instructions from the kitLego construction fischertechnik, selection of parts of the designer, building a model, discussing the movement of the model and programming it).

3. Demo stage: Testing a working amusement park model and demonstrating the model.

Conclusion: The work on the project proved that the use of the design skills that children have acquired in the legoconstruction classes not only contribute to the creation of an amusement park model, but can also be useful to us in our future adult life.

Planned results of project development

• There will be interest in self-manufacturing buildings, the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in the design and assembly of structures, cognitive activity, imagination, fantasy and creative initiative.
• Design skills and abilities will be formed, the ability to analyze an object, highlight its characteristic features, main parts, establish a connection between their purpose and structure.
• The communication skills of children are improved when working in a pair, team, distribution of duties.
• The prerequisites for learning activities will be formed: the ability and desire to work, perform tasks in accordance with the instructions and the goal, bring the work started to the end, plan future work.

Children will be introduced to:

• about the details of the LEGO constructor and how to connect them;
• about the stability of models depending on its shape and weight distribution;
• on the dependence of the strength of the structure on the method of connecting its individual elements;
• about the relationship between the form of a structure and its functions.

Description of educational activities

Throughout the creation of the project, children build not only on the basis of showing the method of attaching parts, but also on the basis of independent analysis. finished sample which allows pupils to show independence in solving creative problems. Graphic models are used for work.

When creating structures, children first analyze a sample or a construction scheme, find the main parts in the building, name and show the details from which these parts of the object are built, then determine the order of construction actions. Each child participating in the work on the proposed task expresses his attitude to the work done, talks about the progress of the task, about the purpose of the structure.

After completing each individual stage of work, we check with the children the correct connection of the parts, compare with a sample or diagram.

Depending on the topic, goals and objectives of a particular lesson, the proposed tasks can be performed individually or in pairs. The combination of various forms of work contributes to the acquisition of social knowledge by children about interpersonal interaction in a group, in a team, there is training, the exchange of knowledge, skills and abilities.

Ways to determine the effectiveness of classes

are evaluated based on how well the child has successfully mastered the practical material that was supposed to be mastered. In this regard, twice a year, diagnostics of the level of development of constructive abilities are carried out.

Diagnostics of the level of knowledge and skills in LEGO design

in children 6-7 years old.

Child development level	The ability to correctly design crafts according to a model, scheme	Skill right design a craft
High	The child independently builds a building using a sample, a diagram, acts independently and with virtually no errors in the placement of structural elements relative to each other.	The child independently develops an idea in its various parts (the name of the object, its purpose, structural features). Independently working on the building.
Average	The child makes minor mistakes when working on a model, scheme, correctly selects the details, but assistance is required in determining them in a spatial arrangement.	The theme of the building is determined by the child in advance. The design, the method of its construction is found through practical tests, the help of an adult is required.
Short		The child's idea is unstable, the theme changes in the process of practical actions with details. The created structures are fuzzy in content. The child cannot explain their meaning and method of construction.

Project "LEGO TALE" (for children of senior preschool age) Municipal Autonomous Preschool Educational Institution "Kindergarten No. 17 of Chelyabinsk" Completed by: teacher of the highest qualification. Ignatenko S.S.

Explanatory note Every teacher knows how difficult it is to make classes on the retelling of literary texts interesting for children. Therefore, we became interested and began to develop the Legoskazka project, which begins precisely at the design stage. The Lego Fairy Tale project is aimed at creating models of fairy tale heroes and buildings for children to develop fairy tales with their further use in the game. It helps children to master the basis of a literary work, being an excellent tool for analyzing ready-made stories or discussing special and relevant topics, greatly expands the possibilities of visual representation of fairy tales for children and opens up the widest scope for creativity and imagination, while actively involving children in the development of language skills! Materials, tools and equipment necessary for working with children on the project”: 1. Nine literary works are selected for a year (one work per month); 2. Demonstration of Lego fairy tales using the Lego constructor is held once a month, the duration of classes is 25-35 minutes. 3. It is preceded by a preparatory stage, at which children construct the characters of a literary work, as well as select attributes, learn the text, consolidate the knowledge of the work in various activities (drawing, appliqué, modeling, reading fiction, FEMP, listening to musical works).

We used the "Legoskazka" technology in several ways: Initially, it was the literary work of a child (inventing a fairy tale), and then Lego-designing according to its plot; Inventing Lego fairy tales based on a ready-made set of heroes and buildings for the development of a fairy tale plot; Coming up with a Lego fairy tale based on a ready-made set of heroes and buildings for the development of a fairy tale plot with further additions to the building, the introduction of new heroes, and the development of new storylines. Thanks to the Legoskazka project, learning to retell is an exciting activity for older preschool children, regardless of their abilities or knowledge! The product helps not only to consolidate the basics of retelling, but also develops their communication skills. Through teamwork, children learn to interact with each other and develop social communication skills. Based on this, we see the RELEVANCE of our project in the fact that children of senior preschool age, working with the LEGO constructor, will quickly learn to retell literary texts. They develop creative thinking and imagination. The project "Legoskazka" promotes the development of fine motor skills, which in due time contributes to the development of speech in children.

Passport of the Lego Fairy Tale project Purpose: To develop children's active speech using Lego constructor. Project objectives: -development of coherent speech and the ability to retell Russian folk tales; -development of figurative, technical thinking and the ability to express one's intention; -development of the ability to creatively approach the solution of the problem; -development of the ability to design according to one's own plan, based on a technological map, a map-diagram of a model. - to consolidate the ability to use the created designs in layout games, role-playing games. Project participants: Children of senior preschool age, speech therapist, educator, parents. Type of project: Reproductive - the use of technological maps, maps, illustrations, literary works and other visual material for the implementation of the project Productive - performing exercises, creative tasks, didactic games Creative - involves independent application of the acquired knowledge on design, in independent activities, use in games, taking into account the personal characteristics of children and teachers Duration: Long-term Conditions for the implementation of the project LEGOPK constructors, projector, music center, camera, etc. Demonstration material on the subject of GCD. Didactic games to reinforce techniques. Presentations. Technological maps, maps - schemes of buildings. Themed coloring pages.

Educational standards: (relevance) Theatrical games with created Lego characters are very popular with children: they create conditions for the development of speech, creativity, and have a positive effect on the emotional sphere of the child. Through the heroes of a fairy tale, made with their own hands, it is easier for a child to reveal their individual characteristics. Lego helps the child to see the world in all its colors, which contributes to its comprehensive development. When building buildings according to verbal description and visual action, children learn to cope with complex phased constructions, elements and even more complex connected parts can turn into anything (a person’s house, a castle, a cave, a bridge) and in front of children turn the details into fairy-tale characters. Planned results for children: organization of the "Construction" center in groups, exhibitions of creative works, photo album. for adults: abstracts of GCD, technological maps, maps of buildings, attributes for classes and games Directions for the development of the child Cognitive development enrichment, consolidation of cognitive material for the project;

Speech development - learning fairy tales, poems, guessing riddles, reading and compiling stories, using speech games, conversations. Communicative and personal development of a dramatization on the subject of the project. Organization of role-playing games, discussions, conversations. on the topics of the project. Artistic and aesthetic development conducting directly educational activities on the application: "Inhabitants of the Forest", "Ryaba Hen with Family", "Spring Joys", "Inhabitants of Reservoirs". on constructive-model activity: "Ship", "Bears in the forest", "Fox", "Family". Physical development learning physical minutes, finger gymnastics on the topics of the project. Organization and holding of folk games.

In recent years, the social status of preschool childhood has changed significantly. Due to the requirements of the new time, this period became the most important stage public education no less significant than the school stage. One of the primary tasks of modern preschool education is the development of the personality of the child, his cognitive and creative abilities, which form the basis of active knowledge of the world around him.

Formation of motivation for the development and learning of preschoolers, as well as creative cognitive activity, - these are the main tasks that the teacher faces today within the framework of educational standards. These difficult tasks, first of all, require the creation of special learning conditions. In this regard, special importance is given to design.

Construction in the Federal State Educational Standard is defined as a component of the mandatory part of the program, a type of activity that contributes to the development of research and creative activity of children, as well as the ability to observe and experiment.

GEF emphasize the need to ensure the continuity of the goals, objectives and content of preschool education, involves the development of new educational models, which should be based on educational technologies that comply with the principles:

Variability and diversity of the content of educational programs;

The unity of developing, educational and educational goals and objectives in the joint and independent activities of an adult and a child;

Accounting for the leading activity of a preschooler - games.

At its core, Lego construction refers to innovative technologies and has a wide educational potential. Activity with the Lego constructor, as with didactic material, is so attractive and emotionally colored for the child that it is often considered as a constructive and play activity, which does not contradict the age characteristics of children.

The game is the most important companion of childhood, the leading activity of a preschooler. Lego construction allows children to learn by playing and learning through play. In the course of educational activities, children become builders, architects and creators, while playing, they come up with and implement their ideas.

Lego construction is a unique tool for the exciting, comprehensive development of children, revealing the potential of each child and, due to its pedagogical versatility, serves as the most important means of developmental education.

The use of the Lego constructor allows children to develop:

Creative potential;

Cogitative and communicative abilities;

Speech;

Knowledge about the surrounding world;

Attention, memory, thinking, ability to concentrate;

Elementary mathematical representations.

Starting with the construction of simple figures, the child improves his skills, seeing his successes, becomes more self-confident and moves on to a more complex stage of learning. Games with "Lego-constructors" act as a way of research and orientation of the child in the real world, space and time. The constructor helps to bring your ideas to life, build and fantasize, working with enthusiasm and seeing the end result, expanding your ideas about the world around you. The experience gained by a child in the course of Lego construction is indispensable in terms of the formation and skills of exploratory behavior.

It is important to offer children more often such design tasks that would make them think and invent. And if the child's activity is creative, it makes him think, become attractive and allows him to discover new possibilities in himself, and this is a strong and effective incentive for Lego-designing classes.

In accordance with the idea and theme, crafts are made from details;

Use buildings to organize games in joint activities.

This project systematizes and presents the work on organizing educational activities with the Lego constructor.

The presented project is technological, as it traces purposeful systematic work with children in close cooperation with all participants in the educational process. This project is promising both for working with gifted children and children with weak constructive skills in productive activities.

Working with parents and social partners

The family and the preschool institution are the two most important institutions for the upbringing and development of the child. Their functions are different, but for a full-fledged meaningful course of childhood, it is necessary to unite the efforts of parents and educators.

Effectively organized cooperation will give impetus to building interaction with the family on a qualitatively new basis, which implies not just joint participation in the upbringing of the child, but also an awareness of common goals, a trusting attitude and a desire for mutual understanding, will form the prerequisites for joint activities of children and parents, will make them real partners. At the same time, this will allow the teacher to adjust his own work based on the interests of the family, without experiencing difficulties in contact with parents.

Involving parents in joint activities plays an important role in the upbringing of the younger generation.

The kindergarten and the family should strive to create a single space for the development of the child.

This project involves the rallying of parent-child relationships. Very often, the whole family joins children's activities with pleasure, a real business cooperation children with parents. During the implementation of the project, it is planned to build new buildings together, design albums, organize photo shoots, as well as use joint games of children and parents as a means of communication, and much more. Project work gives them new topics for conversation and joint activities.

As a result of project activities, children learn to work according to the model, analyze and read schematic drawings. Children share their achievements in a group, and parents certainly have confidence in their children - active creators who are able to achieve their goals. As a result of joint activities, children have become more independent, enrichment of ideas about the world around them is being formed, observation and curiosity of preschoolers have increased.

Expected outcomes of child-parent relationships:

Growth in attendance at events within the walls of a preschool institution,

Trusting relationship,

The growth of pedagogical competence of parents,

Full communication with the child in the family circle.
