How to help your child remember the months of the year. How to remember the names of the months of the year

There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season consists of 3 months, and there are 12 months in a year. Every month of the year has had its own name since ancient times. The names of the months of the year come from ancient times; in their names you can see what is happening at a given time of year, in a given month.

Let's take a closer look at each season.

Spring in poems and pictures for children

Spring has come! Nature is awakening after winter, the sun is shining brightly, the snow is melting, birds from warmer climes will soon return to the forest, filling the forest with singing. The birds are about to sing, the flowers will bloom, and the forest will be dressed in green foliage.

In spring, snow begins to melt in the sun and turns into water; streams fill lakes with water; birds arrive; buds appear on trees from which small leaves grow; birds make nests, and insects appear in the forest and the entire flora and fauna awakens from hibernation.

Tell me what is shown in the picture in the spring?

Is it time to explore the seasons and months of the year with your children? Poems, riddles, games and songs will allow you to master the material easily and with interest. Tell your children about the seasons: what the weather is like and what clothes people wear, what games can be played outside, holidays and signs of the season.

A calendar in the form of a clock dial most clearly shows how the seasons change. You can cut out and attach the hand, like on a watch.

A child perceives material better when more senses are involved:

Show the picture
Say the name
The child listens and repeats
Make a craft that matches the season

Where to start learning

The basis and prevention for a child to study the months of the year is knowledge about the seasons themselves and the ability to navigate them.

You can start introducing the seasons from the year. To do this, there are a large number of illustrations that need to be shown to the child and told about what is depicted there.

You shouldn’t burden your child with long sentences and a large amount of material per year. 2-3 sentences that more vividly describe the time of year will be enough. You shouldn't show all the seasons at the same time. One day you show a picture of autumn several times a day for 5 minutes, the next day a picture of the next season.

Points worth paying attention to

The child should be interested. If he doesn’t want to, he’s distracted, put the picture aside for later, he won’t remember anything anyway, but will only become more irritable.
The baby should not have any physiological needs. He should be full, not want to go to the toilet and sleep.

The best way to remember all the signs of each season is observation. Lively and bright, where you can touch, listen, smell and take with you. After all, children of early preschool age learn tactilely, through touch and sensation.

Signs of the seasons

And now in more detail about the signs of each season that children should pay attention to. It is believed that learning must begin strictly in winter; it is brighter, more expressive and easier for children to remember.

Winter is the Snow Kingdom . It is necessary to give the child the opportunity to tactilely explore the snow. Take it in your hands, try to make a ball out of it or scatter it in a thin layer on the ground. Tell that the snow is cold and wet. Help the child build a semantic chain himself: winter-snow-cold and wet. At an older age, you can tell your child about winter holidays and winter entertainment.

Spring is the time when everything wakes up . Show the first leaves on the trees, buds. Listen with your child to how the stream “sings”. Tell them that birds are returning from warmer climes, introduce them using illustrations and poems, cartoons with animals waking up after hibernation.

Summer - here the child will know that this is a vacation with his parents or a fun time with his grandmother . But it should also be noted that only in the summer do a large number of fruits and vegetables that are useful and necessary for the body ripen. In summer, the nights become shorter and the days longer. You can pay attention to green trees and flowers. Watch the bugs and butterflies.

Autumn is the most beautiful time of the year , when the leaves that have changed color fall from the trees in some kind of dance. With your child, you can collect available materials: pine cones, chestnuts, leaves and create a craft together. During your walks, you can collect the most memorable leaves: red, green and yellow and create a herbarium. Tell us that in the fall it’s already getting colder, it’s getting dark earlier, and the birds are flying to warmer climes for the winter.

At the age of 2-3 years, a child should have a good knowledge of the seasons, know their signs and navigate the sequence. By the age of 5, a child can be introduced to the months and taught to pronounce them correctly.

MONTHS OF THE YEAR

JANUARY was walking through the snowdrifts, the king of all winter frosts! FEBRUARY caught up with him - he lost his shawl from the blizzard.

MARCH came running to replace him and the ringing rang: “Spring, let’s start!” APRIL sailed along the streams, he carried drops in his pocket.

MAY rustled the leaves: “Take off your warm jacket!” The dandelion carried JUNE. Do you want a miracle? Just blow!

And in JULY, and in July we had a rest at the sea! AUGUST buzzed with bees and sat like a mushroom in the forest.

In golden SEPTEMBER we forgot about the heat! The wind blew OCTOBER: let's pick up yellow leaves!

NOVEMBER froze us, throwing the first snow on the ground. DECEMBER is coming to us, ending a long year!

Game “Dress the kitten according to the season”:

I drew this cute kitten with a set of clothes for all 4 seasons. It is better to print the cat on thick paper, and the clothes on regular paper, and then cut it out. In the hats, make slits for the ears along the line.

Let your child choose suitable clothes for summer, winter, spring or autumn.

You can also come up with a seasonal craft with your child. I offer a couple of our ideas:

The concept of "Seasons"

Read the poems (or listen).
Tell me when does this happen? For each poem, draw a tree that you can see at this time of year. Say the opposite: summer - ..; spring - ..; Cold - ..; wet - ..; bloom - ..; fly away - ... The storm covers the sky with darkness, spinning whirlwinds of snow: Then she will howl like an animal, Then she will cry like a child. A. Pushkin

The field is sunny and quiet. The hot day dries the earth. Buckwheat thought about it. Barley hung his head. G. Ladonshchikov

From the midday rays a stream ran down the mountain, and a small snowdrop grew in a thawed patch. G. Ladonshchikov

Boring picture! The clouds are endless, the rain keeps pouring down. Puddles by the porch. A. Pleshcheev

Baby calendar

The seasons are easy to distinguish from each other. Each season brings with it an important, interesting event. For example, birthdays, family dates and holidays, New Year, so beloved by children. Start making a personal calendar with your child:

In winter, Santa Claus comes to the baby with gifts, dad brings a Christmas tree, and the baby dresses it up.
In the summer, the whole family goes to the sea: your parents are on vacation, mom and dad are both at home, and you have fun together in nature.
In autumn it rains and you can run through puddles in boots, while older children go to school with backpacks.
In spring, the snow melts and the first flowers bloom, the leaves on the trees become more and more green right before our eyes.

With your help, your child notices and learns the names of the seasons. Months are more difficult. Not only is it so difficult to remember their names, you also need to learn the order of how they run after each other, like a round dance.

Game techniques for better memorization of the seasons

Make 12 cards that represent each of the 12 months. These can be pictures of nature, people, fragments from fairy tales and cartoons. Invite your child to choose the card he likes, name the season depicted on it and prove his point.

For example: “It’s February because the picture shows icicles falling from the roof. It's always cold here in February. I remember seeing lots and lots of icicles this winter.”

When your child talks about each month in turn, ask him to put the cards in the correct order.

It is important!
If your child fails to indicate the order in which the cards should be laid out, ask him to choose three cards from each season and put them in 4 different piles.

After this, think with your child what time of year each stack of cards belongs to, arrange them in the correct sequence: winter, spring, autumn, winter. At the very end, help your child choose the correct order for each of the 3 months in the category.

Another effective method for remembering the seasons is to study poems.

Together with your child, choose a few simple quatrains about different seasons and ask him to learn them by heart. This will also help you understand what a particular month is by memorizing visual images. Good examples of poems about the months of the year can be the works of such authors as: Fet, Tyutchev, Pushkin, Yesenin and others.

These educational materials will help your child quickly learn and remember the names of the seasons and months. Download and print the calendar picture; you will need to hang it in a visible place so that the child often sees the calendar with his eyes during the day. He will involuntarily scroll through his memory the names of the seasons, winter, spring, summer and autumn months.

Naturally, before this it is necessary to familiarize the child with these seasons. Start your story with winter. Be sure to tell the signs of what is happening in nature at this time of year, what the weather is like, so that the child can feel and vividly imagine the full picture of the season.

in winter

the day is short. The sun is low and warms weakly. Snow falls. Cold. People wear winter clothes. In winter we celebrate everyone's favorite holiday - New Year.

in spring

the day is getting longer. The sun is warming better. It is getting warmer. Snow is melting. Streams are flowing. Leaves appear on the trees. Grass begins to grow. Flowers are blooming. Migratory birds arrive. People wear demi-season clothes. The most famous spring holidays are March 8 and May Day.

In summer

the sun is high, shining brightly, warming well. The weather is hot. Flowers bloom and berries appear. People wear summer clothes. You can swim in natural reservoirs and sunbathe.

in autumn

the day is getting shorter. The sun is lower. It's getting colder. The harvest of vegetables and fruits is ripe. Leaves are falling from the trees. Migratory birds fly south. It rains often. People wear warm clothes. The most famous autumn holiday is the Day of Knowledge.

And winter comes again...

Don’t forget to discuss the very concept of “seasons” and what a year is. Children often confuse “season”, “time of day”, “week”, “month” and simply “time”, immediately distinguish between these concepts. Riddles will help with this:

These birds fly in a line, And never come back. There are seven birds in every flock, you all know them! (Days of the week.)

Twelve brothers wander after each other, but do not overtake each other. (Months.)

The bridge stretches for seven miles, and at the end of the bridge is the Golden Mile. (A week.)

Every year they come to visit us: One is gray-haired, Another is young, The third is jumping, And the fourth is crying. (Seasons.)

Invite your child to come up with his own story about the seasons.

Don't forget to tell your child that a year consists of 12 months.

, and each season has 3 months.

sva-mama.ru

Seasons and months are abstract concepts. It is not so easy to explain to a baby something that he cannot touch. Why, for example, is it hot in summer and cold in winter? What is February and why is March called that?

How to dress at this or that time of the year, how one season differs from the second. In order for your baby to better understand and quickly remember the months of the year, you will have to turn on your imagination to the fullest.

We will tell you how to teach the months of the year while playing.

Learning months: at what age to start

From about 4 years old, you can begin to teach your child the seasons.

He has already observed the change of seasons several times in his life and will be able to find common signs characteristic of each season. He already imagines what rain and snow are, he has seen clear and cloudy skies, he knows that sometimes trees have leaves, and at other times without them, etc. The child consciously perceives what “cold” and “hot” mean.

You need to teach your child to dress according to the season. Our master class from Dino will help with this.

It is not enough to simply name the seasons; you need to come up with a description for each of them, highlight the characteristic changes that occur at this time in nature and people’s lives.

By the age of 4, 5 - 5, you can explain what months are and learn their names. Tell which months belong to which time of the year.

Methods for teaching a child the seasons

It is best to start learning with colorful pictures that depict the seasons. New information is learned better in a playful way. Can:

If you periodically change the pictures, then the baby will not get tired of playing this game with his mother for a very long time.

You can make a video presentation on your computer from colorful pictures or your own photographs, which will reflect all the seasons.

Methods of teaching a child months

If the child has already memorized the seasons and learned them well, start studying the months.

Twelve brothers wander after each other, but do not overtake each other. (months)

Each season lasts three months. To make it easier for your child to remember them, draw a table and, together with your child, come up with symbols for each month.

Read to your child S. Marshak’s poem “All Year Round” or other poems that highlight the features of each month. You can pick up coloring books on this topic.

Tell us that a year consists of 12 months. Tell me in what order they come. Introduce your child to the fairy tale “12 months”, so he will quickly understand why the months follow each other strictly and this order is never broken.

Show the calendar, tell how many days there are in each month. A calendar with a window that the child can move independently is very convenient.

Make cards with images specific to each month. For example, it is February because snow, a blizzard and a man wrapped in a warm fur coat are depicted. It's August because the storks are flying, the combine is harvesting the fields, there are hay bales, etc.

Invite your child to choose any of the 12 cards and explain to himself which month is depicted and on what grounds he made this conclusion. When your child talks about each month, ask him to put the cards in the correct order.

If it’s difficult at first, let them arrange them in 4 piles according to the seasons.

The child’s own associations will help him remember in what order the months follow each other, and he will quickly learn to navigate space-time relationships. If you are going on a trip, be sure to discuss this with your child based on the date. Consider how many months are left before your planned vacation.

How to remember the number of days in each month

An old, time-tested way to remember how many days are in which month is with your own knuckles. Clench your fists and start counting.

Learn this poem with your child:

There are always 30 days in September, in April, June and November. A day more in other months, Only February does not want to catch up. It has only 28 days,

But in a leap year it is a day longer.
