ORDER ACCOUNT
Count up to two
The sun lifts us up to recharge,
We raise our hands on the command "one".
And the foliage rustles merrily above them.
We lower our hands on the command "two".
Count up to three
Darkness lay all around.
One two Three -
Run run!
Pinocchio stretched,
Once - bent over
Two - Bent over
Three - bent over.
Raised hands to the sides,
Apparently the key has not been found.
To get us the key
You have to get on your toes.
Count up to four
The mice came out once
See what time it is.
One two three four -
The mice pulled the weights...
Suddenly there was a terrible sound
The mice ran away.
Count up to five
Fingers fell asleep
Curled into a fist. (Clench fingers into fists)
One two three four five! (Alternately straighten fingers)
Wanted to play!
The sun peeked into the bed ...
One two three four five.
We all do exercises
We need to sit down and stand up
Stretch your arms wider.
One two three four five.
Bend over - three, four,
And stand still.
On the toe, then on the heel -
We all do exercises.
Count up to eight
One, two - above the head,
Three, four - hands wider.
Five, six - sit down quietly,
Seven, eight - let's discard laziness.
SEASONS: POEMS, RIDDLES AND PROVERBS
If a child has difficulty remembering the seasons, poems can help. Riddles are useful for reinforcing the material.
Winter
I have a lot to do:
I am a white blanket
I cover all the earth
I clean the ice of the river
Whitewash fields, houses
My name is ... (winter).
The cold has come.
The water turned to ice.
Long-eared hare gray
Turned into a white bunny.
The bear stopped crying
The bear went into hibernation in the forest.
Who's to say, who knows
When does it happen?
The days got shorter
The sun shines a little
Here comes the frost
And winter has come.
It was winter - it was cold, snow.
Winter is gone and there is no snow.
Spring
I open my kidneys
In green leaves
I dress the trees
I water the crops
Full of movement.
My name is ... (spring).
We got up early today
We can't sleep tonight!
They say the starlings are back!
They say it has come ... (spring)!
The streams rang
The rooks have arrived.
In your house - a beehive - a bee
Brought the first honey.
Who's to say, who knows
When does it happen?
Summer
I am woven from the heat
I carry warmth with me
I warm the rivers
I invite you to swim.
And love for it
You are all of me. I ... (summer).
The sun bakes
Linden color
The rye is earing
Golden wheat.
Who knows who knows,
When does it happen?
Autumn
I bring the harvest
I sow the fields again
Sending birds to the south
I undress the trees
But I don't touch the pines
And Christmas trees. I ... (autumn).
Came without paints and without a brush
And repainted all the leaves.
What are the leaves whispering?
Let's go and ask.
Leaves answer: autumn, autumn, autumn.
Puzzles
Sisters live on earth
The sisters have pigtails.
Here is the green pigtail:
This is the first sister.
Plow, sow, water,
Opens the eyes of the kidneys. (spring)
Multi-colored pigtail -
Burnt sister.
He also works skillfully
For everything to grow and mature. (summer)
golden braid -
This is the redhead sister.
Cleans, blows, mows,
The harvest is in the barns. (autumn)
And the fourth pigtail -
White sister.
Everything will be covered with a blanket,
Everything will smooth out, clean up,
And then the tired earth
Sing a lullaby. (winter)
Proverbs about the seasons
December ends the year, and winter begins.
January is the beginning of the year, the middle of winter.
Everyone is young in the winter cold.
Winter scares summer, but it still melts.
The stronger the winter, the sooner the spring.
As winter is not angry, but submits to spring.
There is no winter without snow and no summer without rain.
Winter is not summer, dressed in a fur coat.
February is strong with a blizzard, and March - with a drop.
DAYS OF THE WEEK

First day of all weeks
It's called Monday.
Tuesday is the second day
He stands in front of the environment.
Middle Wednesday
It's always been the third day.
And Thursday, the fourth day,
He wears his hat sideways.
Fifth - Friday sister,
A very fashionable girl.
And on Saturday, the sixth day
We rest with the whole crowd
And last Sunday
We appoint a day of fun.
Where did Monday go?
Where's the slacker Monday? -
Asks Tuesday
- Monday is not a loafer,
He is no slacker
He is a great janitor!
He's for Wednesday's cook
He brought a bucket of water.
To the stoker Thursday
He made a poker.
But Friday came
Shy, tidy,
He left all work
And rode with her on Saturday
Sunday for lunch.
I sent you my regards.

GAMES
Chain of examples
Target: to train children in the ability to perform arithmetic operations.
Game progress: two groups of participants sit on chairs - one opposite the other. One child takes the ball, calls a simple arithmetic example: 3 + 2 - and throws the ball to someone from the other group. The one to whom the ball is thrown gives an answer and throws the ball to the player from the first group. The one who caught the ball continues the example in which it is necessary to perform an action with the number that is the answer in the first example. A participant in the game who gives an incorrect answer or example is eliminated from the game. The group of children who have more players left wins (offered for children 6-7 years old who have successfully mastered arithmetic operations).
guess the number
Target: reinforce children's ability to compare numbers.
Game progress: on the instructions of the leader, the child must quickly name the number (s) less than 8, but more than 6; greater than 5 but less than 9, and so on. A child who has fulfilled the conditions of the game receives a flag. When children are divided into 2 groups, the one who answered incorrectly is eliminated from the game.
Only one property
To play, you need to make a special set of geometric shapes. It includes 4 figures (circle, square, triangle and rectangle) of four colors (red, blue, yellow and white), small size. The same set includes the same number of the listed figures of the indicated colors, but larger in size. Thus, for the game (per participant) you need 16 small geometric shapes of four types and four colors and the same number of large ones.
Target: to consolidate knowledge of the properties of geometric shapes, to develop the ability to quickly select the desired figure, describing it.
Game progress: two playing children have a full set of figures. One (the one who starts the game) puts any piece on the table. The second player must place a piece next to it that differs from it in only one way. So, if the first one puts a big yellow triangle, then the second one puts a big yellow square or a big blue triangle, and so on. A move is considered incorrect if the second player places a piece that does not differ from it by more than one sign. In this case, the piece is taken from the player. The one who is first left without pieces loses. (Options are possible.)
The game is built like a domino. In the course of the game, a quick orientation of the players in the color, shape, size of the pieces is required, hence the impact on the development of logic, the validity of thinking and actions.
Number series (for older children preschool age)
Target: consolidate knowledge of the sequence of numbers in the natural series.
Game progress: two children lay out face down cards with numbers then 1 to 10 in front of them. In this case, each of the children is given a certain number of cards with numbers (for example, up to 13). Some of the digits appear twice in the set. Each player in turn takes a card with a number, opens it and puts it in front of him. Then the first player opens another card. If the number indicated on it is less than the number of the previously opened card, the child puts the card to the left of the first, if more - to the right. If he takes a card with a number already open, then he returns it to its place, and the right to move passes to the neighbor. The first person to lay out their row wins.
name the number
Target: to exercise children in the ability to make oral calculations.
Game progress: an adult or older child says: “I can guess the number that you have in mind. Think of a number, add 6 to it, subtract 2 from the sum, then subtract the thought number, add 1 to the result. You got the number 5. In this simple task of ingenuity, the intended number can be any, but to solve it you need to be able to calculate verbally.
How much candy to take?
Target: to exercise children in correlating the condition of the problem with the result.
Game progress: the condition of the problem is proposed: “there were 3 apples in the vase. Mom gave them to three girls. Each of the girls received one apple, and one remained in the vase. How did it happen?" to the answer problem solving comes as a result of reflection, correlation of conditions with the result. (one girl took an apple along with a vase).

Riddles have that magic power that teaches, attracts, develops. Mathematical riddles for children 5-7 years old teach to count in the mind, attract game form submitting a question “on the backfill”, develop memory and thinking. In modern society, it is difficult to do without the basic knowledge of mathematics. Therefore, future first-graders are introduced to this science from kindergarten, developing erudition with mathematical riddles for the little ones. For example:
Two sharp ends have two rings,
For them to live together
I had to fasten it with a nail.
4 friends live together and 1 lives separately.
(Mitten) 
5 boys have 1 closet each, and the entrance and exit are common.
(Glove) 
4 legs but can't walk.
(Table) 
Dressed in 100 clothes
Comes often for lunch
When he takes off his clothes,
People shed tears.
(Onion) 
Questions with jokes
Preschoolers, without realizing it, love useful games. And if children's puzzles on the theme of "mathematics" for 4-5 years and older are shown in a playful manner, then the kids are quickly drawn into the creative process, showing flexibility and tenacity of mind, highlighting the main focus in the riddle. It does not matter that at first the answers will not always be correct, but their search is captivating and fascinating. The first victory inspires, creating a springboard for new successes and raising the level of the child to more complex mathematical puzzles for preschoolers.
Children in the age category of 5-7 years old can quite successfully joke and feel the jokes of their peers. If the child has “seen through” the humor in the question, then his answer will be in the same vein. There is no need to be upset if the preschooler has a weak sense of humor and therefore does not cope with such riddles. In this case, patience is needed to visually explain what the feature is and try to ask one or more joking questions. 
Development of logic
Children's mathematical riddles with answers are considered difficult when they contain elements of logic or the whole problem is based on logical reasoning. Here the child will have to think carefully, not be afraid of his conclusions and conclusions. After all, logic is nothing more than a meticulously and thoughtfully built chain of consecutive thoughts with a transition to a final judgment.
The exact sciences do not like being shy in front of them. 
Indeed, mathematical puzzles for 3-4 years old in kindergarten are not as difficult as they seem. Guys in younger age easily master the basics of this fascinating science. They can easily count, compare numbers, perform simple actions (addition, subtraction), master the features of basic geometric shapes.
Also, the child will completely cope with children's mathematical problems with answers for first graders, in which there are measures of length, tools for drawing, additional knowledge in biology, geography, physics, taking into account age.
Every kid has a different level of math ability. The development of interest in the subject truly works wonders, as it reveals the potential of the child to the maximum. And success gradually leads to independent conquest of new heights.
To reason, to be able to prove, not to be afraid to defend one's position - these skills, acquired with the help of mathematical riddles for children aged 5 years and older with answers, will give the cherished key to the fascinating Land of Exact Sciences.
Keeping children's interest in riddles depends on adults. To do this, you need to diversify them, using a great variety of types of puzzles:
- on logic;
- tricks;
- coloring pages;
- about geometric shapes;
- Crosswords.
Mathematical riddles for preschoolers about animals and other topics presented in different types, firmly consolidate the acquired knowledge and arouse interest in them, which is very valuable for preparing for school.
Note to parents 
Mathematical riddles for future first graders are offered to the child unobtrusively, filling their free time with them. As a result, certain abilities or interests of a preschooler are revealed, which are carefully complicated by riddles with elements of mathematics for students in grade 2.
If the baby sees the parental end in itself (“you must”, “you must”), then this can backfire. If the child has no interest in numbers, it is better to leave the target for a while. Mind games, but to come to them as if by chance: in a domestic situation, when watching cartoons, on illustrative examples during walks. Mathematical riddles for children 5-6 years old with answers will not leave indifferent any kid, if you approach this sensitively.
Grandmother invited two grandchildren to visit, baked pancakes for them. The grandchildren did not eat enough, they began to make noise and knock plates on the table. How many grandchildren silently wait for supplements? (No one)
Polina needs 15 minutes to walk from home to school. How long will it take her if she goes with her friend? (15 minutes)
Which is lighter: 1 kg of sawdust or 1 kg of firewood? (they have the same weight) 
Tasi had 5 croissants on her plate. When the girl had breakfast, there were a couple of croissants left. How many pieces did Tasia eat? (3 croissants)
Mathematical riddles for children 7 years old in the form of jokes, questions for quick wits will always be in demand among children. As they grow older, kids develop their powers of observation, speed of thinking, search for answers, and concentration. Tempering mental abilities, the child will grow up inquisitive, kind and open to absorbing new knowledge.
Many people think that mathematics is very difficult.
In fact, all children early age talented mathematicians. They easily master the ordinal count, the concepts of "more" and "less", perform simple arithmetic operations, memorize geometric shapes. You can support this natural ability with the help of games, counting rhymes and rhyming riddles.
The proposed selection will introduce children not only to numbers, but also to measures of length or drawing tools. And he will do it fun, along the way giving other useful information: about animals, cardinal points, rainbow colors and much more.

Math fun. (relay races)
Target: develop children's ability to independently perform math assignments in a competitive environment.Tasks:
- Consolidate and generalize knowledge about geometric shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle);
- Development of logical thinking, attention, memory;
- Cultivate interest in mathematics.
Leading:
Why is there silence all around?
Do you hear how quickly the speech fell silent?
This is the queen of all sciences,
came to visit us today.
The Queen of Mathematics enters.
Queen: Hello guys! I am the queen of the mathematical realm. Numbers and geometric figures, mathematical signs and formulas live in my kingdom. Everyone says that mathematics is a difficult, boring science, but I want to show you that mathematics can be fun. Let's you guys divide into two teams, and each team will choose the name for itself, guessing my riddles.
1 contest "Guess the riddle"
I don't have corners
And I look like a saucer
On a plate and on a lid
On the ring, on the wheel.
Who am I, friends?
Call me! (Circle)
my three sides
May be of different lengths.
Where the parties meet
Angle is obtained.
What happened? Look!
After all, there are also three corners.
You look at me
Call my name. (Triangle)
Four corners and four sides
They look exactly like sisters.
You can’t roll it into the gate like a ball,
And he won't run after you.
The figure is familiar to many guys.
Did you recognize him? After all, this is ... (Square)
He looks like an egg
Or on your face.
Here is a circle -
Very strange appearance
The circle became flattened.
It turned out suddenly ... (Oval)
We stretched the square
And presented at a glance
Who did he look like
Or something very similar?
Not a brick, not a triangle -
It became a square ... (Rectangle)
Queen: Well done! My riddles are solved. Let's give each team a name. So, one team is called "Circle", the second "Square".
I took a triangle and a square,
He built a house out of them.
And I am very happy about this:
Now a gnome lives there.
We will put two squares,
And then a big circle.
And then three more rounds,
Triangular cap.
Here comes the funny little guy.
We will not build an eccentric of geometric shapes, we will build a boat
2 competition. "Collect a boat from geometric shapes". The envelopes contain geometric shapes from which you need to assemble a boat. Whose team will collect faster, she won.
Queen: The jury sums up, and we play on.
Once upon a time there was a girl Shura
Geometric shapes in the box:
Cubes, balls, squares
And other brave guys.
3 competition "Collect correctly"
The basket contains cubes and balls. The teams run to the basket. The Circles team selects the balls and carries them to their basket. The "Squares" team chooses cubes and also carries them to their basket. The team that completes the task quickly and correctly wins.
Queen of Mathematics: while the jury is summing up the results of the competitions, I suggest you take a break.
They turn on the song of fixies "Helper", the children perform movements to the music.
The Queen of Mathematics announces the results of 3 competitions.
Queen: Well done guys, they did a good job. And we have the following contest:
A pineapple fell by the path
Broke into two halves.
Three crows will never divide
The two halves are equal.
We will not divide the halves of a pineapple, we will assemble a whole pineapple from two halves.
4. Contest "Assemble the whole"
Flat images of pineapples are cut into two parts (arbitrary cut: in half lengthwise, across, in a zigzag). Halves of pineapples are laid out on the floor, children stand in pairs, each pair must assemble a whole image from the halves of pineapples.
Queen of Mathematics: And now I want to know which team is the most attentive.
5 contest "Continue the row."
Children are offered a sample of a logical series of geometric shapes and the teams continue the logical series according to the model. The team that completes the task without mistakes and quickly wins.
Queen of Mathematics: So our fun math game is over. sports holiday. While the jury is summing up, we are with you in the musical game "If life is fun."
After the dance game, the Jury announces the results mathematical entertainment, and the Queen of Mathematics awards the winners.
Queen: All riddles are solved, games are played. I don't say goodbye to you. We will meet again in math classes and play new games. See you again.
