Extracurricular activity for elementary school students “In search of escaped puzzles”

Target: development of attention, innovative thinking, creative imagination.

Equipment: the teacher has a table for puzzle No. 1; Students have colored pencils, a squared notebook, and matches.

Teacher. Guys, a librarian I know came to me asking for help. The fact is that trouble happened: a book with puzzles escaped from the children's library. It was in a single copy and was in demand. But last summer, none of the readers took an interest in her even once. This is understandable: the summer was hot, and that’s all free time young readers We tried to spend it somewhere closer to nature, to water. But it started academic year, and they ask for this book again. However, the puzzles were offended, felt unwanted in the summer and ran away, leaving a note. Here she is.

The teacher shows the card.

The recording is encrypted, that is, it is a puzzle. Let's try to decipher it. Guess which “key” you need to use.

Independent work.

Children write down the deciphered text in notebooks. Examination.

Answer.“Nobody needs us! Let's go to the Island of Eternal Summer. Farewell". We read from bottom to top from right to left.

I suggest going to the Island of Eternal Summer and finding the escaped puzzles there. Maybe they will agree to return.

To find yourself in a land where the waves of the warm sea splash, where palm trees grow, magnolias bloom and where there is lots and lots of sun, it is enough to use our imagination, which never fails us. We close our eyes... Kreks-pex-fex!.. We open our eyes. We are on the Island of Eternal Summer! The island is surrounded on all sides by the sea. Let's walk along the coast. On the right the sea is blue, clean and gentle; on the left - wherever you look - palm trees, vines, coconuts, bananas.... And under your feet there is light, warm sand. Wow, it's hot! Need a swim. What is that splashing on the waves there? Let's swim closer. What a success! A tiny raft, on it is an open book, and next to it, with their bellies up, lie little men with large heads, thin arms and legs, sunbathing. On the raft stands a flag with the inscription:

OOOOLLMKGVI

What is this word? Maybe someone has already guessed?

Answer. PUZZLES. We rearrange the “scattered” letters.

Oh, that's it! The puzzles specially encrypted themselves so that those around them would puzzle over who was in front of them. Guys, draw at least one puzzle as you imagine it.

Children draw. Exchange of impressions.

Hello puzzles! We specially arrived on the Island of Eternal Summer to persuade you to return to the library, because the children miss you so much!

Puzzle. Is it really special for us? We miss the boys too. We were offended that they forgot about us for the whole summer. And so we decided to escape to this island. Let the readers feel that they feel bad without us.

Teacher. Readers have already felt that life without puzzles is boring. And we are happy to solve them right now. Come on, turn us to a more difficult page!

PUZZLE 1

And a good shooter can miss. And Masha sometimes makes a mistake.

Fear has long legs. Fear has big eyes. You can't catch the wind with a net. You don't apply water with a sieve.

The meaning of proverbs is explained.

PUZZLE 5

So that the words are known

Be able to decipher

Multiplication table

Great to know.

Clue. To insert a letter instead of a number, for example, 4, you need to look at the code and think about how to get 4 by multiplying one of the numbers in the vertical line by one of the numbers in the horizontal line. Only if you multiply 2 by 2. Their intersection is the letter C. And so further.

Answer. SEVEN SPANDS IN THE FOREHEAD. This is what they say about a very smart, outstanding, talented person.

Puzzles. And you guys are great. You crack the puzzles like nuts! We agree to return to the library, but on the condition: you will not forget about us, including in the summer.

Teacher. Guys, do you agree with the condition? Then we all leave the Island of Eternal Summer together.

Mathematical games puzzles in pictures for schoolchildren of grades 5-7

Klochkova Natalya Konstantinovna, mathematics teacher, MBOU "Bukharay Secondary School" Bukharay village, Zainsky district
Description: This work can be used in mathematics lessons in grades 5–7. Solving puzzles can be offered to students when performing oral calculations; it can be offered as a didactic material for homework. This work can serve as a guide for conducting extracurricular activities, electives. Solving puzzles develops a child’s intelligence and teaches him to find a way out. difficult situations, which, of course, will be useful in life. By solving puzzles, children replenish their vocabulary, develop attention and imaginative thinking, train visual memory, learn to write correctly and remember new words.
Target: development of intellectual abilities, formation of logical thinking.
Tasks:
Educational: teach students to solve puzzles with a mathematical theme.
Developmental: expand students' horizons in the field of mathematics.
Educational: to cultivate a conscious attitude towards mathematics as an important subject.
Introduction:
A rebus is a puzzle in which a word is encrypted. This word is given in the form of pictures using letters and numbers, as well as certain shapes or objects. Rebus is one of the most interesting puzzles.
The word COMPUTER is encrypted in this picture.

There are certain rules for solving puzzles.
1. A comma at the very beginning of a word indicates that you need to remove the first letter in this word, and a comma at the end means that you need to remove the last letter in the word. Two commas - remove two letters. In the word mosquito we remove the last two letters AP, in the word iron we remove the first letter U and the last letter G.
2. Crossed out numbers indicate that the letters standing in this place are removed. In the word five we remove the second and third letters, that is, YAT. If letters are crossed out, they are also removed from the word.
3. Numbers that are not crossed out indicate that the letters in places 2 and 3 must be swapped. In the word iron, the letters T and Y are swapped YUT. Now we read the word in full.
This picture encrypts the word PERPENDICULAR.

4.If the picture is upside down, then the word guessed using the picture is read from right to left. The word read is not turnip, but aper. The first letter A is removed. In the word stump, the last letter b is removed. The word whale is read backwards. In the word chair, the first two letters ST are removed. The names of all objects depicted in the rebus are read only in the nominative case.
5.An “arrow” or an “equals” sign indicates that one letter must be replaced by another. In our case, in the word tick, the letter T must be replaced with the letter D. Now the word can be read in full.
The word EAST is encrypted in this picture.

6.Letters, words or pictures can be depicted inside other letters, above other letters, under and behind them. Then prepositions are added: IN, ON, ABOVE, UNDER, FOR. Our letter O contains the number STO, so it turns out B-O-STO-K.
The word MAP is encrypted in this picture.

7.The numbers under the picture indicate that from this word you need to take the letters located in places numbered 7,2,4,3,8 and compose them in the order in which the numbers are located. In the word cheesecake you need to take the letters 7-K, 2-A, 4-P, 3-T, 8-A. You can read the word.
Let's try to solve a few puzzles in the field of mathematics.

All tasks are decorated with bright pictures and interestingly illustrated, so the puzzles will captivate the children. Or you can try and make it yourself. This will be even more interesting.

Every parent is interested in the development of their child, but not everyone knows how to choose the right key to attract their children to study, reading, arithmetic and other sciences and distract them from numerous social networks, computer games and endless cartoons. A slightly forgotten, but still effective, simple way to captivate a child into the world of interesting and mysterious will come to the rescue of parents and teachers. A rebus riddle for children is an ideal way to develop attention and perseverance, logic and intelligence in a 7, 8, 9 year old child. Puzzles for children: With answers, in pictures, we’ll learn how to compose and solve them together.

History of the origin of the rebus

The term “rebus” comes from the Latin word “res” (thing) and performs the function of showing a certain object, word or expression with a certain set of figures, pictures and compositions of letters.
What you won’t find in a modern rebus:

• combinations of letters and numbers;
• geometric shapes;
• animals and birds;
• plants and trees;
• fruits and vegetables;
• geographical concepts;
• and much much more.

Rebuses first appeared in France in the 15th century and carried a slightly different meaning than today. At that time, farce shows with the participation of jesters, musicians, singers and animals were widespread in Europe. It was precisely such performances, in which the realities of that time were ridiculed, that were called rebuses. Which meant to make fun of without words, using only hints, facial expressions and movements of the hands and body.

After France, rebuses spread throughout Europe and, starting from the 16th century, began to take on a modern look. The first puzzles appeared, depicted in hand-drawn form, drawn by professional artists.

Rebus riddle for children in Russia

In Russia, the first puzzles appeared in the mid-19th century in the magazine “Illustration”. And in the second half of the same century, the magazine “Rebus” appeared, where one could see modern puzzles, primarily designed to attract the attention of the adult population.

But the first riddles-rebuses, which were colorful and simple, appeared in the same magazine only 2-3 years later, when, together with adults, children of various ages and social classes began to join in the interesting and fascinating activity.

How to make a puzzle and how to solve them

In a rapidly developing modern society, there is less and less time for own development. You can find several answers to any question on the global network. But what to do when you demand attention from your parents? Not everyone will be able to buy new magazines with puzzles, puzzles, and charades every day, and spending a lot of time in front of a computer screen is not entirely beneficial for children's health.

Every parent can independently create puzzles for children of any age. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that there are a number of rules and conditions that must be known when composing a rebus.

The rebus can contain a word, sentence, proverb, saying, quote or aphorism. Each word in the rebus is written separately, and the number of words is not limited. Much depends on the child’s age, level of development and abilities.

Basic Requirements

Since the founding of the rebus in its modern form, certain requirements appeared for its preparation, brought to a single model throughout the world:

• Basically, a rebus has only one solution and, accordingly, one answer. In the case of two or more answers, the author of the rebus in mandatory I must warn you about this. Most often this fact is specified in the conditions. For example: you need to find two (three, four) solutions to the specified rebus.
• There is an unspoken rule: if there is one word in the rebus, it must be in the singular nominative case. Otherwise, the author clarifies the task. For example: guess the adjective, verb, etc.
• If it is necessary to guess a proverb, saying or quote, the compiler must indicate this point.
• The rebus is compiled in accordance with the norms of the language in which it is solved, without spelling errors, from left to right (with the exception of certain eastern languages, Hebrew, etc.).

Types of puzzles

In addition to the requirements for rebus riddles, there are a number of the following basic techniques used in their compilation:

• (BOOTS) Use of commas. One of the first and most basic rules when solving a rebus. Commas are usually placed at the top right or left and indicate how many initial or final letters of the word shown in the picture need to be removed.

• (TANYA) Replacement of letters. As a rule, such a technique is indicated in a rebus by an equal sign between those letters that the author of the rebus changes in the word.

• (VILLAGE) Adding letters. If the author needs to add several letters for a new word, he places them to the right or left of the picture in the upper corner.

• (SUN) Placing a series of numbers above a picture and manipulating them. This can be either a rearrangement of letters in a word or their replacement.

• (ROTTER) If the picture is upside down, then it should be read backwards.

• (CROW, IN the letter O, the word RONA) The words “on, in, before, under, behind, etc.” in rebuses they are not written, but are depicted depending on the arrangement of the letters and the picture.

The above techniques are basic for all types of rebuses and are used in rebus riddles for children as younger age, and for high school students.

Currently, there are a huge number of all kinds of puzzles for children of all age groups. Children of primary and first grades of high school show particular interest in puzzles, riddles and puzzles.

Puzzles for children 7 years old

For schoolchildren in grades 1-2, the most different puzzles are offered. This is due, first of all, to the simplicity of their creation and increased demand, both among parents and teachers, and among first-graders themselves.

The initial level for puzzles usually involves one or two simple nouns in the task.

At the beginning of testing their strength, children of this age learn to subtract or add letters at the beginning and end of a word, replace letters, and rearrange them.

Puzzles for children 8 years old

Having settled in after the first year of school, children become more relaxed, begin to read and count fluently, and study natural history and other subjects. At the same time, they actively explore the world on the street, training, children's camps and sanatoriums.

For children of this age, the puzzles are noticeably different in complexity from the previous level. In this case, the initial or intermediate level of combination is used various types puzzles (numbers, prepositions, substitutions).

Puzzles for children 9 years old

At this age children finish primary school and begin to live an “independent” life. Priorities and hobbies change, older friends appear. These children find it difficult to sit still, and the school load increases.

Those puzzles that they solved in 1- are now just nuts for them. Therefore, teachers and parents offer them riddles of a completely different level, which contain elements of arithmetic, trigonometric figures, foreign or borrowed words, professions, geographical names and others.

Of course, everyone is individual. There are no specific age criteria for solving puzzle riddles.

Meanwhile, no matter what age a child begins to solve puzzles, puzzles and charades, in any case, this hobby will lead exclusively to positive results.

Hello dear friends and blog guests! Today I want to bring to your attention puzzles for children 7-8 years old, tell you what types there are, and how to teach a child to solve them.

This activity is very useful for children of any age: it develops thinking, memory, logic and perseverance.

A rebus is a graphic riddle in which a word or phrase is encrypted. They use pictures, letters, numbers and some signs.

There are a huge number of different puzzles for children different ages.

Of course, division by age groups conditionally, there are no specific criteria, since each child is individual.
Some children at 5-6 years old can solve complex puzzles, while others at 8 years old find it difficult. It all depends on the child’s level of development and his individual abilities.

Puzzles for children 7-8 years old

Children of different ages, but especially 7-8 years old, show great interest in puzzles.
In order for the child to be able to solve encrypted words himself, you need to explain to him the basic rules of what the various signs mean.

Main types of puzzles

Let's take a closer look at what types of puzzles there are, and what the various combinations and signs in them mean.

1. Adding one or more letters to the picture.

> Letters are added in front of or after the design. This is the simplest type.

2. There is a crossed out letter next to the picture.

> This means that it needs to be removed from the word

3. Replacing letters

>

> When there is another letter next to a crossed out letter, it must be inserted in place of the crossed out one.

> Sometimes there is a letter with an equal sign next to the picture, which means that it also needs to be replaced in the word.

4.Commas at the beginning of the picture or at the end.

> A comma indicates that the first or last letter is removed from the word, depending on where it appears: at the beginning or the end. How many commas are present, so many letters are removed.

5.The picture or word is turned upside down.

6. A horizontal line between letters or pictures.

> It denotes the prepositions “on, above, under.”

7.Different arrangement of letters relative to each other.

> When one is located in the other, it implies the preposition "in". If one letter is behind another, it means “behind” or “before”.

8. Several identical letters or syllables.

> This means that the number of letters must be pronounced in numbers.

9. Using various numbers together with letters or pictures.

A number is added to a word, picture or letters from different sides.

10. On the surface of one or more letters, some other letter is written several times.

> In this case, the preposition “by” is added. (Cook)

11. Under the picture there are numbers in small print.

> You need to rearrange the letters in the word in the same order.

Most often, several types are used simultaneously in one rebus.

Puzzles of varying complexity and for different ages can be found in children's magazines, special collections and on the Internet: online or printed.

Parents themselves can create puzzles for their children.

Now you know which puzzles for children 7-8 years old and other ages can be used for activities with children.

Most children love to solve puzzles and puzzles, so support their desire in this exciting and useful activity.

Where did puzzles come to us from?

So, what are puzzles, where did they come from and how are they useful? This will be discussed further. Unraveling words encrypted in pictures first became a hobby in France back in the 16th century. Of course, such entertainment was available to everyone, but it was mostly done by representatives of aristocratic families, since they had more free time for such entertainment. But other sections of society did not miss the opportunity to unravel the words encrypted in the pictures. They say that this was done even in not very respectable drinking establishments.

In our country, ciphertexts appeared much later. The general fascination with puzzles that need to be solved “with the help of things” (this is how the word rebus can be loosely translated from Latin) began only at the end of the 19th century. At this time, in the Russian Empire they even began to publish a special magazine, which was called “Rebus”.

Currently, cryptograms of this type will not particularly surprise anyone. But, unfortunately, such logical puzzles do not have the former popularity. And this is in vain! Such a pastime is much more useful than sitting on social networks or computer games. Especially for children!

Why do children need to solve puzzles?

Most puzzles are a riddle where the main role is played by a picture. The image is supplemented with letters, numbers or signs. By putting together words denoting drawn objects, adding or changing letters in their names, removing individual letters or syllables, you can turn the original word into the desired one. That's the whole task.

Children's interest in such puzzles is very high. And there is nothing strange about this. Some element of mystery always attracts children's attention. And as a result, little people not only enjoy decoding words, but also, unnoticed by themselves, develop the qualities necessary for studying at school, and indeed for life in general. Solving such text riddles greatly contributes to the development of:

• horizons (kids remember new words and learn their meanings);
• speech (in puzzles you can encode not only individual words, but also proverbs or tongue twisters);
• memory (primarily visual) and attentiveness;
• logical thinking;
• intelligence, ingenuity and intuition.

In addition, thanks to encrypted text messages in pictures, preschoolers and first-graders find it much easier to learn letters and numbers, and older children remember the spelling of various words.

Recently, even textbook compilers have been using such logical problems. In elementary school they are often assigned as homework. Older children can be asked not only to solve cryptograms, but also to compose them themselves. This exercise is also an excellent workout for the mind. Moreover, such tasks are also creative work. After all, most contain a picture that the child will have to draw on his own.

Differences in children's puzzles

The most difficult are considered math puzzles, in which letters replace numbers in some mathematical expressions. The most complex are the so-called cryptorhymes. These are puzzles in which a mathematical expression is encrypted not just by a set of letters, but by a completely meaningful phrase. Of course this option puzzles are only suitable for children who are already well versed in arithmetic operations and are good readers.

The more common option is alphabetic. In them, the word is encrypted using letters, syllables or whole words. To solve such a puzzle, some letters must be removed and others replaced. Often, to solve such puzzles you need to use ingenuity and attentiveness, since the solution may even depend on the location of letters and syllables relative to each other. Younger schoolchildren who know the alphabet well and can read already cope well with such tasks.

Puzzles with letters and pictures are perfect for children who have just started learning letters. Such puzzles not only teach the child to think and reason, but also allow him to quickly remember letters and learn to read. Such puzzles are also suitable for younger schoolchildren. Solving them is a good exercise for the mind.

But text riddles in pictures are an excellent option for educational activities for children from 3 years old. They are considered the simplest and are quite capable even for such kids. It’s worth talking about this version of puzzles in a little more detail.

Puzzles in pictures

Logical tasks that use only pictures are suitable for kids who have not yet mastered the alphabet or have just begun to master this science. Most often they consist of two pictures. From the names of the objects depicted on them, a new word is obtained.

In such puzzles, the child does not need to remove or add letters to the words found. It is enough to connect them together. However, one should not assume that such problems are too simple. The tricky part is that many items are often named differently, for example:

• a drawn eye can be called both an “eye” and an “eye”;
• stylized window can be used in this sense or denote the word "frame";
• a funny face can be deciphered as “face” or “face”, etc.

Such puzzles not only teach a child to think, but also significantly expand his vocabulary.

For older children, more complex puzzles are suitable, in which the picture is depicted upside down. In this case, you need to not only guess what is written on it, but also say this word backwards, for example: NOSE - DREAM. Sometimes in such problems the image is not turned upside down, but the direction of pronunciation of the word is indicated with an arrow.

If the child has already started learning the alphabet, he can already be asked to solve a text code in which a picture is accompanied by one or two letters. Such tasks greatly simplify the process of memorizing the alphabet, and classes turn into exciting game, without straining the child.

How to solve text codes with your child

With the help of logic puzzles, it’s easy enough to turn a learning activity into fun game. But first, the parent needs to familiarize himself with the basic rules for solving such puzzles. Although there are no special tricks in this matter.

Any rebus is read from left to right (sometimes from top to bottom), unless otherwise specified or indicated in the form of an arrow. All names of objects are used in the nominative singular case. Of course, if several objects are depicted, then the word should be used in the plural.

Unlike other types of similar problems, picture puzzles always have only one solution. But their more complex counterparts may contain two answers. True, in this case this is necessarily indicated in the conditions.

At first, children should not be given too complex options. The first tasks should be very simple in order to interest the baby. Before starting classes, he needs to explain the essence of the task in clear language.

If the picture shows an object unfamiliar to the child, then with the help of leading questions he should be led to the name of what the picture depicts or the meaning of this word should be explained. The same must be done if the object can be called by different words. Most children identify the eye shown in the picture this way. The adult’s task is to tell him that this part of the face was previously called by another word. Thus, solving puzzles will not only develop the child’s thinking and logic, but will also significantly expand his horizons and vocabulary.

Don’t be upset if your child doesn’t complete the task right away. This in no way indicates the weakness of his abilities. Even simple logical cryptograms are not always solved the first time. Moreover, even adults cannot decipher some seemingly simple pictures the first time. And in general, you can always tell your child the way to solve a problem or direct his reasoning in the right direction. The main thing is not to overdo it and not solve the problem for the child. This line should not be crossed.
