It was a tumbler toy. Inside it was another similar Daruma doll, only smaller. And the artist invented a doll for Russian children that looked like the Japanese Daruma. And the doll was unusual, with a wonderful surprise: inside each doll sat a smaller doll, and in that one an even smaller one, and another, and another... (Shows the nesting doll.) S.V. Malyutin dressed each doll in a painted sundress, a bright scarf and a colorful apron. And they called this doll Matresha, an old Russian name, after a kind, beautiful girl who worked in the artist’s house. This is how the matryoshka doll was born - a detachable wooden doll. The most suitable material is dry linden or birch, as it is very soft and can be easily cut with a knife. Wood blanks were sanded and then painted by artists. I offer several options. Option 1. Find a mate for each matryoshka.

Summary of the game for the 2nd junior group. Let's collect nesting dolls
Abstract: the game “Let's collect nesting dolls” for the second junior group
Introduction: In play activities of any form, the play qualities of the child’s personality are formed; The game improves the skills acquired in classes, develops memory, and encourages responsibility for the assigned task. Preschool children acquire knowledge much more successfully through play than in class. They understand the meaning of the game, they are interested in it. Preschoolers do not notice difficulties in the game, they themselves find the right solution in the game, they show interest in the role of the leading character. In preschool age, it is necessary to teach games related to life situations. During the game, the teacher should not be very active; his task is only to monitor its progress. Educational games provide the child with physical and mental activity, teach him to think, quickly respond to new things, and reinforce the old. The rules of behavior outside the game are poorly understood by children, while during the game they manage their actions well. Children are required to strictly follow the conditions of the game so that the teacher is satisfied and their peers recognize these actions in the game as correct. Goals: educational, developmental. Objectives: acquiring new knowledge, replenishing vocabulary, demonstrating resourcefulness, developing spatial orientation in children - distinguishing between the top and bottom of an object; development of coordination of small movements of the hands. Game material and visual aids: - two-seater nesting dolls with bright colors. Form of lesson: play combined with conversation. The teacher invites the children to look at the double dolls and explains to the children that they need to be disassembled, then correctly assembled and folded the small doll into a large doll, observing the correct position of the doll (head up). Children must learn to distinguish where the bottom is and where the top of the toy is. The words (bottom) and (top) are not yet clear to them. Children, with the help of the teacher, try to understand this and learn these expressions. The teacher and the children examine the nesting doll and ask the children questions: Children, please show me where the head of the nesting doll is? That's right, where the handkerchief is! Children, this means the top part of the nesting doll! Guys, tell me, where is the lower part of the nesting doll? Absolutely right, where the pocket on the dress is. Well done boys. Based on the design of the toy, children can name other familiar signs. You can use a three-seater matryoshka doll in the activity.

A toy shop
Through the game intended for the older group, preschoolers learn about the matryoshka doll as an object of arts and crafts, learn to comprehensively and competently describe objects based on external features, and express and explain opinions. The lesson promotes the development of speech skills and concentration, and fosters a respectful attitude towards craft activities.
For the game you need to prepare images of nesting dolls with different types of painting. The teacher lays out the images on the “store counter”. One child becomes the seller, the rest of the players become buyers. The game consists of 3 stages:
- Each player takes turns taking the picture he likes and describing it in detail. You can’t repeat yourself when choosing a toy.
- The seller describes the picture. And buyers must guess what we are talking about.
- The player approaches the seller, describes the toy he wants to buy, but does not indicate it. The seller must guess which picture they want to buy from him.
Matryoshka is a Russian folk wooden toy, which is a doll, inside of which there are smaller dolls nested one inside the other.
Matryoshka is not just a souvenir. This is an excellent educational toy for a child. With its help you can learn to compare objects by height, width, volume, and teach counting. It develops hand coordination, fine motor skills, and thinking in children.
And besides all other advantages, it has a very interesting story and there is a deep meaning hidden in it. For those who are not interested, you can skip this moment and immediately scroll down to educational games)
The history of the creation of the nesting doll and its essence
According to one legend, it was created in the 90s of the 19th century according to sketches by the artist Sergei Malyutin. And the idea of creating a nesting doll arose thanks to a Japanese toy with the image of the sage Fukurama, which contained several figures nested one inside the other.
The name Matryona, Matresha was considered at that time one of the most common female names, which was based on the word “mother”. Indeed, the matryoshka symbolizes the image of femininity, motherhood, fertility and the infinity of the world. A mother gives birth to a daughter, she gives birth to her daughter, etc. Those. life goes on forever. Thus, the nesting doll with its large family conveys to us the image of the Family, shows several generations of ancestors and descendants.
They say that this toy also contains the idea of searching for truth and the ability to find it by “getting to the bottom”, i.e. to the last matryoshka. Like in the fairy tale about Koshchei the Immortal, remember that one? Koshchei's death was in a needle, a needle in an egg, an egg in a duck, a duck in a hare, etc. Matryoshka also teaches us to look into the depths, not to perceive the world superficially and to learn to see the inner component behind the external. It’s not for nothing that they say, look to the root. This is exactly the same thing.
And the nesting doll seems to be one, but at the same time it consists of many of its manifestations, which are its small reflections. That is, it carries a symbol of unity and at the same time multi-manifestation of our world, the reflection of the small in the large, and the big in the small, the macrocosm in the microcosm and vice versa.
There is also an opinion that the nesting doll shows us the multidimensionality, multi-layered nature of the Universe and man (his chakras, energy bodies: physical, etheric, astral, mental, etc.). And the size of the nesting doll supposedly shows us when a certain human body is formed. For example, various sources indicate that the physical body matures by the first year of life. And the first, smallest nesting doll, is designed to help the baby establish himself in the world of reality; it is associated with the red chakra and should be red. The etheric body is formed by the age of three, it is associated with the orange chakra, so the next nesting doll is larger and orange. The astral body is formed by the age of 7, its color is yellow. The mental body is green and is formed by the age of 12-14. The Blue Matryoshka (throat chakra) is the causal body, which is formed by the age of 21. The blue nesting doll is the body of intuition and spiritual mind, when a person becomes a Father or Mother. And finally, the largest nesting doll, purple, symbolizes the human soul. You realize it best at the age of Grandfather or Grandmother.
The matryoshka dolls should be the same colors. To be honest, I have never seen nesting dolls painted in the colors of the rainbow, but the idea itself is interesting. They say that red is a very powerful color, but it has low vibrations. It attracts you to the earth and allows you to gain its life-giving power. When a person has little of this energy, he has little strength and vitality. Orange color carries the power of fertility. Yellow - health and stability. Green color supports mental strength and intuition. Blue helps communicate with people and gives intellectual strength. Blue helps to understand the laws of the Universe and gives the gift of foresight. And purple harmoniously distributes all energies.
All this is interesting, isn't it? It seems like such a simple toy, but what wisdom and depth lies in it.
How to play with a matryoshka doll?
1. Introducing the matryoshka doll.
In order for a toy to make an impression on a child and for him to want to play with it later, the introduction to it can and should be played out in an interesting way. For example, like this:
We show the nesting doll to the baby: “Look who came to visit us today! This is Matryoshka. What a beautiful dress she has, and what a scarf.” By describing the details of the nesting doll, we lay the foundation for the development of the child’s speech and vocabulary. We examine the Matryoshka together with the baby, show where its eyes, mouth, nose, etc. are, what it is wearing, what color it is.
Then we take it in our hands and say: “How heavy it is.” Let's shake her. “And how it thunders! There's probably something inside there. Let's see what?" We say: “Matryoshka, matryoshka, open up a little,” and open it. Inside the nesting doll we find another matryoshka. Together with the baby we are surprised at what happened. Let's look at the second nesting doll. We put two nesting dolls side by side and compare them. We ask the baby which one is taller and which one is shorter, what one is wearing and what the other is wearing. We tell the child that the matryoshka dolls are similar in shape, but different in size.
Then we invite the child to see if anyone is hiding in the new nesting doll. We pronounce the same words: “Matryoshka, matryoshka, open up a little,” we open it and find another one there. We put them side by side and compare them with the previous ones. We do this until all the nesting dolls come out.
We arrange all the nesting dolls in a row according to height. Please note that each subsequent nesting doll is smaller than the previous one by a head. We look at the nesting dolls, looking for similarities and differences in them.
2. My baby and I learn to open and close nesting dolls.
Be sure to name these concepts: “Let’s open the nesting doll,” “Now let’s close it.”
You can start the game like this. We will hide some surprise for the child in each nesting doll. These can be small toys, sweets (sweets, for example) or pieces of fabric, handkerchiefs. Then we’ll tell the baby that the nesting dolls have prepared gifts for him. “Let's see what gifts the nesting dolls have prepared for you!” If the child is unable to open the nesting doll, we help him. We look at the gifts, say “thank you” to the nesting dolls, and then close them.
When your baby learns to open and close the nesting dolls, you can play a game of finding the halves.
Let's open all the nesting dolls (you can start with two nesting dolls, then add the rest). We tell the baby: “Let’s help each nesting doll find and put on its own skirt.” So, together with the baby, we look for the lower half of each upper half of the nesting doll. And if the half fits, then we close the nesting doll. We make sure to comment on our actions: “This skirt is not suitable for a matryoshka doll, it’s small,” “But this skirt is just right.”
3. We introduce the child to the concepts of “big” - “small”, “high” - “low”.
We put the nesting dolls in a row. We point to each nesting doll and say: “This matryoshka is the largest (high)”, “And this one is smaller”, “This one is even smaller”, etc., “And this one is the smallest (low)”. We talk about the largest nesting doll in a low, weighty voice, and about the smallest one in a high and thin voice. Those. The timbre of our voice shows the difference between them. We give the nesting dolls one by one to the child’s hands so that he can feel their weight and feel the differences between them. When the baby has mastered the concepts, you can ask him to show which matryoshka is the largest and which is the smallest.
You can play the game "Confusion" . We put the nesting dolls in a row according to height, one after another. For example, they went into the forest to pick mushrooms. And on the way back we swap some nesting dolls. “The nesting dolls got their places mixed up. They forgot where (who) they stood behind.” We ask the child to arrange them correctly according to height.
So, in formation (according to height), the nesting dolls can go not only “to the forest to pick mushrooms or berries”, but also just “for a walk”, and also sit around the table to have lunch and dance in circles.
You can make houses for them from boxes or cubes and house them according to their height.
The rings from the pyramid are used to make chairs.
Or make chairs from insert jars of different sizes.
Items for nesting dolls can also be arranged according to their height. The largest nesting doll has the largest mushroom basket, food plate or crib, the smallest one has a small one.
4. We learn to hide nesting dolls inside each other.
To begin with, you can open the largest nesting doll and show your baby how another nesting doll can fit into it. You can take turns hiding the nesting dolls in each other. Thus, the baby will understand that a small nesting doll can be hidden in a large one, but a large one cannot be hidden in a small one.
Let's line up a row of nesting dolls. Let's reveal them all. We will get two rows of “handkerchiefs” and “skirts”. Let's tell the baby: “Let's hide the nesting dolls.” We hide the smallest one in the one next to it and put on a “handkerchief”. Then from the remaining ones we take the smallest one and hide it in the next one, cover it with a “handkerchief”. We give the baby the opportunity to hide the rest of the nesting dolls. So, the baby will understand the principle of assembling a nesting doll.
You can play this game:
We arrange the nesting dolls in a row. We hide one of the nesting dolls in the other. We ask the child to determine by ear where the nesting doll is hidden, in which one? Let him take turns bringing the nesting doll to his ear and shaking it. And when the missing item is found, let him choose the right place for it. Thus, the baby develops auditory perception and spatial thinking.
5. We study the concepts of “far” and “close”.
Let's place some of the nesting dolls close so that you can reach them with your hand. And some are further away. We tell the baby: “Let’s reach for the nesting dolls. They stand close to us and are easy to reach.” “Let’s try to reach those nesting dolls. Does not work. Because they are far from us."
6. Learning to count with matryoshka dolls.
You can easily teach your child to count in a playful way. Let's count how many nesting dolls went to the forest, and how many remained at home? How many nesting dolls sat down to eat at the table? How many plates do they need? How many nesting dolls sleep? Etc.
Let's arrange the nesting dolls in a row according to height, put next to each a plate and a square cut out of paper, on which we will write a number. The smallest nesting doll is number 1, the larger one is number two, etc. Now let's feed the nesting dolls. Food can be a mosaic, beans, cut cocktail tubes, beads, nuts, doll food made from play-doh or salt dough.
First, put on each plate as many beans (nuts, mosaics, beads, etc.) as indicated on the paper.
Then we open the nesting dolls and put the contents of the plates inside.
You can make the task more difficult. Feed one nesting doll with your fingers (put the doll food inside it with your fingers). Let it be the smallest opening nesting doll, which “does not yet know how to eat with a spoon.” Feed the other nesting doll with a spoon. Let the third nesting doll have a clothespin instead of a spoon. The fourth has tweezers. Etc. This task is very useful for developing fine motor skills of fingers and coordination of movements.
7. Games for memory development.
Let's put something in each nesting doll (a pebble, a shell, a small toy, a drying bag, etc.). Then we will close the nesting dolls. The child’s task is to remember what is in each nesting doll. You can start with two or three nesting dolls. Then increase the quantity.
8. Games for hearing development.
Together with your child, we will fill the nesting dolls with different fillings. This could be peas, beans, buckwheat, beads, mosaic, etc.). Then we will close the nesting dolls and try to guess by ear what is in each of them.
9. Role-playing games.
Matryoshka dolls are great for role-playing games with a child. You can play “mother-daughter”, “kindergarten”, play out various family situations, meetings with other children on the playground, holidays (Birthday, New Year, etc.).
I’ll show you how my daughter and I once played the game “Kindergarten” with nesting dolls.
Game "Kindergarten"
1. Distribute the nesting dolls into groups.
We lined up the nesting dolls according to height. I told my daughter that the nesting dolls came to kindergarten. But there are two groups in it: senior and junior. And we need to correctly distribute the nesting dolls into groups.
How to do it? I asked my daughter to show me the largest matryoshka doll and the smallest one. We remove the largest one in one direction (we take it to the older group), and the smallest one in the other (to the younger group). We repeat the same with the remaining nesting dolls, choosing the largest and smallest from them. We placed the middle one in the younger group.
As a result, we got two groups of nesting dolls. In one, the nesting dolls are large, and in the other, small.
The nesting dolls played a little, each in their own group. And then it was time for breakfast, and they went to the dining room to eat.
2. Breakfast in the kindergarten.
We made chairs, plates, tablecloth and food (apples) from paper a little earlier. To do this, my daughter and I traced the bases of the nesting dolls on paper. I cut out the resulting circles. We got chairs and plates of different sizes. My daughter decorated everything herself.
So, the nesting dolls came to the dining room. First, everyone had to find their own chair. Some large nesting dolls tried to sit on a small chair, and some small ones tried to sit on a large one) But then we finally seated them correctly. Then we brought each matryoshka a plate of the same size. Apples were placed in the middle of the table. Each nesting doll had to put the correct number of apples on its plate. The smallest one gets one apple, the larger nesting doll gets two, etc. Then we opened the nesting dolls and they began to eat their apples. We placed all the apples inside the nesting dolls.
3. Dress for a walk.
Matryoshka dolls need to get dressed for a walk. But they mixed up their clothes. Let's call the top of the nesting dolls a scarf or a hat, and the bottom a skirt or panties. Some large nesting dolls took skirts from small ones, and small ones from large ones. We help the nesting dolls dress properly.
4. Let's go for a walk.
Finally the nesting dolls are dressed. Let us again divide them into two groups: senior and junior. Divided? Now let the largest one from the older group take the arm of the largest one from the younger group, etc.
Lined up in pairs? Now let's go for a walk!
5. On a walk.
And during the walk we celebrated the birthday of the youngest matryoshka) We put her in a circle and began to dance around her: “How on Matryoshka’s name day we baked a loaf…”.
My daughter didn’t like that we called all the Matryoshkas the same, and they immediately came up with names for all of them. Then the birthday matryoshka, as expected, chose the one she loves most. And then all the nesting dolls congratulated her on the holiday, each wished her something different and gave her gifts. Someone gave beads, someone an apple, someone a bracelet. In general, little Matreshenka was pleased. 
6. Let's go wash our hands.
After the walk, the nesting dolls went to wash their hands one after another, lining up by height (by seniority). I put them in a row myself, deliberately mixing them up. I told my daughter that it seemed they had mixed up their places and were standing out of order, and that we needed to help them find their place. My daughter put them in the correct height.
On the way back they changed their places again. Let's help the nesting dolls find their place once again.
7. Quiet hour.
It's time for the nesting dolls to go to bed.
My daughter and I drew and cut out paper cribs, and my daughter decorated them.
Each nesting doll was helped to find its own bed.
The game didn't end there. Then we also played doctor, since some children in the kindergarten got sick and went to the doctor. Parents picked up sick children from kindergarten. The game ended when evening came for the nesting dolls, and their parents took them all from kindergarten.
This is such an interesting game.
Isn’t it true that a nesting doll is a wonderful toy?
My father gave our nesting dolls to his daughter, he brought them from a business trip.
In general, nesting dolls can be found in any souvenir shop. They are also available in online stores. Matryoshka dolls in the Labyrinth . In My-shop ( option 1 , option 2 ). There are painted dolls for those who like to draw. Some nesting dolls are painted like fairy tale characters. For example, nesting dolls based on the fairy tale “Kolobok” , or nesting dolls based on the fairy tale “Turnip”.

Matryoshka
The game, intended for middle preschool age, develops mathematical and speech skills and improves tactile perception. Its goal is to consolidate ideas about colors, sizes, spatial distribution, number of objects, expand thematic vocabulary, and develop the skill of answering questions competently. The activity promotes the development of fine motor skills and visual, in particular color, perception, and develops the skill of systematizing objects and distributing them by size.
To play, you need to make 7 nesting dolls, corresponding to the colors of the rainbow, with the image of a certain geometric figure on the apron. Each toy has a certain type of fastener: zipper, button, button, silk ribbon, lace, Velcro tape, buckle. You also need award chips and small decorative items: beads, rings, buttons, figurines, badges.
By playing with a red doll, a preschooler reinforces the idea of the number 1 and the square shape, and gains the skill of zipping up zippers. For the orange toy, the number 2, rectangle and button are relevant. For yellow - 3, circle, button. For green - 4, triangle, silk ribbon. For blue - 5, diamond, lace. For blue - 6, oval, Velcro tape. For purple - 7, polygon and buckle.
You can play with the presented material in different ways and come up with your own rules. The game can be individual or group. Here are some options:
- Make a series of nesting dolls according to the size and colors of the rainbow.
- Dress up the dolls using small decor in quantities corresponding to the number on the apron.
- The toys are in the correct order. The players close their eyes. The teacher hides the matryoshka doll. The pupils, opening their eyes, try to remember which toy has disappeared.
- The toys are arranged in the correct order. The students close their eyes. The teacher changes the location of the two toys. Opening their eyes, the players say what has changed.
For preschoolers of the younger group, it is advisable to place no more than 5 dolls in a row.
The player with the most chips for correctly completed tasks wins. If the game was individual, the player who completed the tasks should be encouraged.
How to teach a child to assemble a three-seater nesting doll?
Typically, children learn to assemble a three-person nesting doll between the ages of 1 year 9 months and 2 years. We will need three nesting dolls with a difference in size of 3-4 cm, for example, a small matryoshka can have a size of 4-6 cm, a large one - 7-9 cm, a large one - 10-12 cm). If your child has never played with a nesting doll before, it is best to use it as the smallest one-piece nesting doll in the set.
If the child easily copes with this task, complicate it with matryoshka dolls that differ from each other in height by 1.5-2 cm.
Step 1. Give your child three nesting dolls and ask them to show you the biggest one, the smallest one, the smallest one. Let the child study them carefully. Ask him to line up the nesting dolls in a row: first the small one, then the big one, then the big one.
Step 2. Then invite the child to open the nesting dolls and ask each matryoshka to give it a “skirt” (put the bottom of the nesting dolls - their “skirts” in front of the top). If you have difficulty, show yourself how to do it.
Tell them that the nesting dolls really want to try on their “skirts” and ask the child to help them. “Where is our skirt for the largest nesting doll? Let's help and put a skirt on the matryoshka. Where is the skirt for the smallest nesting doll? Choose a skirt for the smallest nesting doll. These are beautiful nesting dolls!”
Step 3. Then ask the child to “hide the nesting dolls” (i.e. collect the nesting dolls). It may not be easy for your baby at first, so he will need your help and a show. Sometimes you may need to hold her hand and perform the desired action with your child's hand.
In the future, repeating the game with nesting dolls, the child will become more independent. It should be taken into account that young children very quickly forget what they have learned, and therefore more repetitions are required (at least 2-3 times on the same task).
Next time, you can conduct a lesson with a matryoshka a little differently, for example like this:
Step 1. Show the three-seater matryoshka doll and shake it. What's rattling? Take the central nesting doll from the nesting doll and place it next to it. How beautiful and smart they are! Ask your child to shake the large and small matryoshka dolls. Oh! It turns out that something is also knocking inside the baby! What is this? Let the child take a smaller doll.
Step 2. Place three nesting dolls in a row - large ones
, small , and between them – on average. Ask your child to show you where the big matryoshka is, where the small one is, and where the middle one is.
Step 3. Assemble the nesting doll. Firstly, you need to put a small one in the middle matryoshka (children often make mistakes in the assembly sequence, so clarify this point: which nesting doll should be hidden first). Show the 2 remaining nesting dolls. So, open the big one and put the middle one inside.
What else to read: Didactic game “Atelier” (for older preschool children)
Step 4. Give the child a toy for independent play. Let him take the nesting dolls apart again, arrange the dolls in a row, and then put them in one - “hide.” Help me match the pattern on the matryoshka doll.
Matryoshka, show yourself!
The goal of the game is to develop reaction speed, observation and the ability to act in accordance with the command.
For this activity, you need a small separable doll so that it can be conveniently placed in a child’s palm. Pupils sit on chairs forming a circle. With their hands behind their backs and palms open, the children watch the teacher. And he walks along the circle, bends over to each child, and quietly places half of a nesting doll into the palm of the two players.
Then he gives the command: “Matryoshka, show yourself!” Players who receive a toy in their hand must jump up from their seats and jump into the middle of the circle so that their comrades do not have time to stop them. The task of the other players is to guess who has the hidden parts of the toy and to catch these guys.

It is advisable to have a complete set of nesting dolls (souvenir), including 10-12 items. If this is not available, you can use two or three sets of ordinary five-seater nesting dolls, which are available in all kindergartens. You also need to have a block or strip to separate one group of nesting dolls from another.
Description of the game and methods of its implementation.
The teacher, with the help of the kids, arranges chairs and places a large table opposite them at a short distance. The children sit down more comfortably, and the adult puts a large matryoshka doll on the table: “Look what a beauty has come to us!” Everyone admires the nesting doll and examines it. The teacher asks what the matryoshka is wearing, what color is its sundress, scarf, etc. Having admired the toy, he picks it up and says in surprise: “It’s somehow heavy. Maybe there's something there? Let's get a look!" Holding the lower part of the nesting doll with one hand, he lifts the upper half with the other, saying the following words with the children: “Matryoshka, matryoshka, open up a little!” The process of opening the nesting doll is deliberately slightly delayed in order to increase the anticipation and curiosity of the kids.
Having opened a large nesting doll and seeing the next one in it, the children and their teacher are surprised and admire it. The new nesting doll is placed next to it, facing the children, and viewed like the first one. The teacher draws attention to the fact that the nesting dolls are of different heights. He asks which one is taller, what color is the handkerchief of the one that is taller and that of the one that is shorter. Then, picking up a new nesting doll, he again offers to find out if there is anything else hidden in it. The children again say the same words in chorus (“Matryoshka, matryoshka, open up a little!”), and the next matryoshka appears. This continues until all the nesting dolls come out.
Having lined them up in order of height, the teacher draws the children’s attention to the fact that each nesting doll is dressed differently and that each subsequent nesting doll is smaller than the previous one by a whole head. After that, he divides the large and small nesting dolls into two equal groups and says that all the nesting dolls, like children, go to kindergarten, but only the big nesting dolls will go to the older group, and the little ones to the younger group. A place is allocated on the table for the younger and older groups (fenced off with a stick, a block, a line, etc.). The teacher calls the children one by one and gives them an assignment - to take any nesting doll that he chooses to the senior or junior group. This question is decided by the child himself. All other children, together with the teacher, check the correctness of his actions. When all the nesting dolls fall into the appropriate groups, the teacher summarizes the results, i.e., emphasizes: “The taller nesting dolls ended up in the older group, they are larger, and the smaller nesting dolls came to the younger group, they are still small. When they grow up and go to the senior group. Now let our nesting dolls do a little round dance, and we’ll sing them a song!” The teacher calls several children, gives each of them two nesting dolls standing next to each other, and offers to show how the nesting dolls walk. one after another. All children sing a song together with the teacher. "Stop! - says the teacher. “Now let’s play loaf.”
The summoned children place the nesting dolls in circles (in both groups), and two round dances are formed on the table. “Let’s play loaf with you and teach nesting dolls,” the teacher suggests to the other children. The kids form a round dance and play a familiar game. Then everyone takes their places, and the teacher calls new children, who, holding the nesting dolls in their hands, while the others sing (“This is this wide, this is the dinner, loaf, loaf, choose whoever you want!”) show how the dolls play loaf, i.e. they expand and narrow the circle, jump up, bend over, etc.
“Now our nesting dolls will go for a walk,” the teacher suggests. — The elders will lead their sisters from the younger group. First, let’s gather the matryoshka dolls from the older group for a walk.” He instructs one child to build large nesting dolls one after the other in height. Then, calling the kids one by one, he gives a new task: for each large matryoshka, find a pair among the small ones, according to its height. Having called one child, the teacher invites him to take the largest nesting doll, go with it to the younger group and find its sister, that is, the largest among the nesting dolls of the younger group. Having chosen a pair for a large nesting doll, the child takes both nesting dolls to the other edge of the table. The first couple is ready for a walk. The remaining pairs of nesting dolls are selected in the same way. This is how this version of the learning task is solved.
Then the teacher calls other children who move the nesting dolls (walk with them) around the table. The nesting dolls move freely, run, jump, etc. At the end of the walk, they are again lined up by height. Other children are already doing this, and everyone else is watching them and, if necessary, correcting mistakes.
“Now let’s play differently,” says the teacher. “The nesting dolls will hide each other.” He picks up the smallest nesting doll, places it opposite the one next to it and, as if on her behalf, asks: “Sister, sister, hide me!” “Tell me what color my handkerchief is,” the matryoshka replies, “then I’ll hide it!” The little nesting doll answers, and the larger one opens and hides it.
The teacher calls two children and instructs them to play with the next two tallest nesting dolls. Everyone else listens carefully to the dialogue between the nesting dolls. Another pair of children acts with the next pair of nesting dolls, and the game continues until all the nesting dolls are collected into one big one. “Here she is, our greatest beauty,” says the teacher. The matryoshka is placed in a prominent place, and the game ends there

"FUNNY MATRYOSHKA"
Features of the game and its educational significance.
In this game, children learn to distinguish and compare objects according to different qualities of size. They are offered several variants of the task: compare objects by height, compare the sizes of planar and volumetric figures, etc.
Her plot character
is important for the development of creative initiative in independent games and prepares children for role-playing play. The game promotes the development of size perception, visual memory, thinking, and spatial imagination. All this is very important for the mental development of preschool children. It is carried out with a small group of children (five to six people).
Game material.
Two sets of five-seater nesting dolls, two sets of different-sized circles (plates for nesting dolls), a turret made of hollow cubes. If such a toy is not available, it can be replaced with elements of building material from which nesting doll houses are built. In addition to the items listed, a homemade stadiometer is used. It can be made from a pyramid by removing all the rings from it. The nesting dolls will be placed on the pyramid stand, and one of the rings will be placed on the matryoshka’s head. On a vertical tablet, which is installed at the back, you can use a pencil to mark the growth of the nesting dolls.
Description of the game and how to play it
.
At the invitation of the teacher, the children sit at a common table on which there is a nesting doll. The adult turns to the kids: “I want to play funny nesting dolls with you, but I see that there is only one nesting doll here, but where are the rest? (Looks around, then picks up a matryoshka doll and shakes it.) Something is rattling in the middle. Let's see what's there. (Takes off the top half of the nesting doll.) It turns out that’s where they all hid! (All the nesting dolls are lined up in a row.) Let’s get to know them!” The teacher calls the name of each doll, tilting it: “I am Matryosha, I am Natasha, I am Dasha, I am Masha.” Etc. Each child chooses one of the nesting dolls (the teacher takes one doll). The game begins.
First, the nesting dolls walk (walk on the table). Then they are called to the nurse to measure their height. They line up one after another and, one by one, starting with the smallest one, stand on the height meter, and the teacher lowers the ring and, together with the children, notes how tall each of the nesting dolls is. He asks the children and clarifies which nesting doll is the tallest, which is a little lower, which is the lowest, which is a little taller. Then all the nesting dolls go to dinner. The teacher places a set of circles (plates) of five sizes on the table, calls the children in turn, who select the appropriate plates for their nesting dolls. After lunch, the nesting dolls get ready for a walk. The teacher puts the second set of nesting dolls on the table, and the children select girlfriends of the same height for their nesting dolls. Pairs of nesting dolls move around the table. Then they run away and mingle (“The nesting dolls wanted to run”). Unnoticed by the children, the teacher removes a pair of nesting dolls of the same height from the table: “It’s time to go home,” he says, “get into pairs!” The nesting dolls are lined up in pairs, and suddenly it turns out that a certain pair of nesting dolls is missing. The teacher invites the children to call the nesting doll by name (if they remember). Everyone asks her to come back in unison. At the request of the teacher, the children show where the pair is missing. The nesting dolls appear, the kids put them in place, and the toys go home.
The teacher puts on the table a tower made of hollow cubes (one side is missing) - these are houses for nesting dolls. At the request of the teacher, each child finds a home for his nesting doll. The nesting dolls bow, say goodbye and go to their houses.
Rules of the game.
1. Each player chooses a matryoshka doll. He must remember her name and act with her in accordance with the learning task. The teacher takes one of the nesting dolls and shows a clear example of game actions.
2. Participants in the game must listen carefully to the teacher and carry out the actions that he suggests to them.
Funny nesting dolls
For the musical game you need cardboard images of 5 nesting dolls of different sizes and colors. It is also necessary to give the players a pair of wooden musical spoons.
The music teacher places the pictures in a row in front of the children. Introduces the pupils to the dolls: Dashka, Sashka, Glashka, Irinka, Marinka. Explains that the guests love to dance. And the children need to play along with them on a folk musical instrument. Then he taps a different rhythm on the spoons for each nesting doll. And the children repeat. The teacher does not need to use spoons to demonstrate musical rhythm. You can play another instrument, and let the children play along with spoons.

- fix the names of geometric shapes and colors;
— develop fine motor skills in young children;
- game cards - nesting dolls;
— a set of colored geometric shapes.
Selection of a geometric figure by shape and color by applying it to the silhouette.
Children begin and end the game at the teacher’s signal. The winner is the one who correctly and quickly selects the shapes by color and shape.
The children sit at the tables. The teacher hands out matryoshka dolls to the children, if they choose. A set of colored geometric shapes is placed in the middle of the table. The teacher explains the rules of the game to the children:
What a miracle, look
Yes, choose outfits.
We are not simple nesting dolls,
Triangle, circle, square
Everything is in the box.
Children begin to place figures on silhouettes. If necessary, the teacher can help.

Running errands for a matryoshka
This active competitive game promotes general physical development and teaches one to navigate in space.
Children sit on chairs in a row. The teacher sits against the opposite wall, holding a matryoshka doll in his hands. Gives the command: “Here, to the nesting doll!” Children are running. The one who runs last loses. Then the teacher commands: “Now run back!” The children rush to their chairs. And so on several times until the winner is determined, who was the first to reach the toy more often than others.
Matryoshka travels
The game, intended for the older age group, reinforces mathematical concepts, teaches counting, quantitative comparative analysis, and spatial orientation. Children learn to compare objects by size, make verbal conclusions, and also indicate the position of objects using prepositions.
To play, you need to prepare an applique: paste an image of a river, a boat, a bridge, a tree, a berry bush, and flowers onto a cardboard sheet. Separately, you need to cut out the image of the nesting doll.
The matryoshka sets off on its journey: the children place its image near the river. At the same time, they explain in detail what they are doing. She is about to cross to the other side: the players drag the picture across the bridge. The matryoshka wanted to rest in the shade: the children put a picture under a tree. And under the tree there grows a bush with ripe berries. The doll looked at the tree, then at the bush, and thought what was higher: the students were doing a comparative analysis. Then I looked at the tree and the flowers around, and thought, what else is there: again, a comparative analysis. She counted how many flowers there were in the clearing - a lot. How many bushes - one. How many berries are ripe on it - a lot.
