Riddle as a means of developing a child’s thinking

man began to create in ancient times. comparison of objects and phenomena, drawing sometimes unexpected parallels between them was a natural process of studying the world around us. this process was reflected in the riddle.

riddles in children's fairy tales

were often used as a plot component to test the character's intelligence and resourcefulness, which determined him future fate, and sometimes life. In Russian mermaid songs, young men were asked treacherous questions: what grows without roots (stone) what blooms without flowers? (fern.) What runs without a reason? (water.).

For example, A. Platonov in his fairy tale “The Smart Granddaughter” asked the following riddles: “Whoever solves it will get the foal”: “What is the strongest and fastest thing in the world?”, “What is the fattest thing in the world?”, and also “What is the softest and cutest?” and the answers are so intricate that you won’t even guess right away - “Although your riddles are wise, our sovereign judge, I guessed them right away: the strongest and fastest of all is the brown mare from your stable: if you hit her with a whip, she will catch up with the hare. and the fattest of all is also your pockmarked hog: he has become so fat that he has not risen to his feet for a long time. and the softest thing is your feather bed on which you rest. and most of all your son Nikitushka!”

and Ivan the Fool more than once had to “rack his brains” over riddles. In the “tale about Ivan the Fool and Marya the Princess,” the Tsar, as entertainment, asks the nobles riddles, and Ivan the Fool helps them solve:

"They beat me with sticks and hammers,
they keep me in a stone cave,
They burn me with fire, cut me with a knife.
Why are they ruining me like this?
for being loved."

The nobleman thinks: “There’s a mystery about me. Always under the attack of the king's eye, I live in stone chambers. So the Tsar is destroying us all so that we have respect for the Tsar... so the answer is: boyars and nobles.” and looks at Ivan the Fool. and Ivan the Fool quietly says to him: “This is bread.”

A riddle is a question that describes the main qualities of an object or phenomenon.

We teach children to find clues

We can hardly rely on the natural ingenuity of little listeners - children are not capable of solving even the simplest, in our opinion, riddles without preparation and training. If children find it difficult to find a solution, adults, sometimes giving in to their requests, simply tell them the answer and explain to them the meaning of the riddle themselves, thereby depriving children of the opportunity to think and reflect.

Be patient and don't rush to answer. after all, the meaning of the riddle is not in the correct answer, but in the thought process, the search for a solution through numerous selections and associations based on personal experience and observations of children.

how to teach children to solve riddles?

Teaching children the ability to solve riddles begins not with asking them, but with developing the ability to observe life, perceive objects and phenomena from different sides, see the world in diverse connections and dependencies, in colors, sounds, movement and change.

the development of a general sensory culture, the development of a child’s attention, memory, and observation skills is the basis for the mental work that he does when solving riddles. therefore, children will only be able to guess the riddle when we familiarize them in detail with the objects or phenomena that we are going to ask about.

When examining birds, animals, insects and observing them, children’s attention is drawn to parts of the body (head, legs, wings, tail, beak, etc.), features of their structure, lifestyle, habits (where they live, what they eat, how moves, how he defends himself, etc.).

examining, for example, a goose, they note that it has Long neck, strong long beak, red paws, membranes between the toes; A goose can fly, cackle loudly, and if you make it angry, it hisses and nibbles. knowledge of these features will help the child guess various riddles about the goose:

Long neck,
red paws,
pinches your heels,
run without looking back. (goose.)

hisses, cackles,
wants to pinch me.
I'm going, I'm not afraid
who is this? (goose.)

We also need knowledge that specifically leads children to guessing.

You can watch how birds make nests (for example, how swallows and rooks make nests), ants build an anthill, a spider weaves a web, to conclude that birds and insects build their homes without hands, without tools. This conclusion is the basis for solving riddles:

without hands, without an axe, a hut (nest) was built.

Men without axes cut down a hut without corners. (ants, anthill)

The sieve is hanging, not twisted by hand. (web)

There are many natural phenomena that change over time. riddles about such phenomena are built on the basis of generalized human conclusions based on the results of long-term observations:

in the winter he lay, and in the spring he ran into the river (snow.)

In a fur coat in the summer, and undressed in the winter. (trees.)

but sometimes even repeated observations in natural conditions do not help to get a complete picture of the phenomenon. to solve riddles: does not burn in fire, does not drown in water; in the yard there is a mountain, and in the hut there is water, it is necessary to carry out appropriate experiments with ice and snow. they are the key to the answer.

Using various tools, children note, for example, how heavy the head of the hammer is, see how with each blow the nail goes deeper into the board, how the saw “sings” and “squeals” when working. Noting this, they easily guess riddles about the hammer and other objects:

I'm thin, my head is about as big as a pound. (hammer)

They hit the yarmulke on the back of the head, he doesn’t cry, he just hides his nose (nail.)

With the ball, the children establish: it is elastic than hit harder, the higher he jumps; The top has only one leg, and it “doesn’t know how” to stand on it, but it “sings merrily” when it spins. knowledge of these features helps to guess riddles about the ball and top:

They beat him, but he doesn’t cry, he just jumps higher and higher;

A one-legged willow, a painted shirt, he can sing and dance, but he can’t stand.

riddles for kids 3-4 years old

They offer riddles that name bright, characteristic features appearance(color, shape, size), those properties that children know well are noted (the animal’s voice, what it eats, habits, etc.). for example, about a cat:

furry, mustachioed
drinks milk, sings songs
soft paws, and scratches in the paws.

They should not be very detailed, since the child is not able to remember many signs and relate them to each other.

Laconism and brightness of characterization, precision of language and specificity of image - these are the main criteria when selecting riddles for kids.

riddles for children 5 years old

Children of middle preschool age are able to distinguish objects different qualities and properties (shape, color, size, material, taste, smell, purpose, etc.), compare objects with each other. they highlight particular and essential features of objects and phenomena.

A broader theme of riddles is proposed: about domestic and wild animals, household items, clothing, food, natural phenomena, and means of transportation.

The characteristics of the subject of the riddle can be given in full, in detail; the riddle can act as a story about the subject:

an alarm clock walks around the yard,
rakes away the rubbish with his paw,
spreads its wings noisily
and sits on the fence.
(rooster.)

There are needles on the back,
long and stinging.
and he will curl up into a ball -
there is no head or legs.
(hedgehog.)

The characteristics of objects in riddles must be defined specifically and clearly, expressed in words in their direct meanings. they should reflect the original appearance and distinctive properties of the subject of the riddle.

riddles for children 6-7 years old

Meet the living and inanimate nature, conduct observations of animals, birds, insects, their habits, and way of life. they monitor the growth and development of plants, collect fruits and seeds, and note weather changes in different time days, at different times of the year. children take care of animals and plants, work as hard as they can in nature, in everyday life, and in the process of this activity and observation they comprehend many properties of objects, patterns that occur in nature.

When preparing for school, children show increased interest in books and knowledge.

In older preschoolers, the development of mental activity continues: the processes of analysis and synthesis proceed more accurately, children master the operations of comparison, juxtaposition, generalization, and can independently draw conclusions and conclusions.

At this age, children show greater sensitivity to the semantic nuances of words, they begin to understand the meaning of figurative expressions in literary works.

Older preschoolers can be given riddles, both folk and literary, some of which can be laconic or detailed.

The characteristics of objects and phenomena in riddles can be brief, but among the signs an essential, typical one should be named:

they beat him with a hand and a stick,
no one feels sorry for him.
Why are they beating the poor guy?
but for the fact that he is inflated. (ball.)

In this riddle, several identifying signs are named (“they beat him with a hand and a stick”, “no one feels sorry for him”, etc.), but among them there is the most significant one - “he is inflated.” Isolating this feature in combination with others provides an unmistakable guess - this is a ball.

Another riddle: a small dog guards the house (castle)- more concise. however, it names the most important, most significant sign - “the house is guarding”, which, in combination with another (“little dog”), provides a guess.
