Why do we need didactic games
Some kids find it difficult to focus on the material that the teacher is talking about. Therefore, so that the child can perceive the information and understand everything without being distracted or tired, teachers use didactic games for children as working material.
Speech therapy games contribute to the elimination of problems in the development of speech, the correct formation of sounds and how well the child will be able to distinguish sounds pronounced by ear. Such games can be used both in kindergarten by a speech therapist or educator, and by parents at home to consolidate the material, especially sincedo-it-yourself speech therapy didactic games is quite simple. You can come up with your own scenario, which will be based on the individual characteristics and preferences of your baby.
Classification
All speech therapy games can be divided into several groups depending on the direction in which you need to deal with children. Here are the most basic ones:
- formation of phonemic hearing in children through games;

For classes with a child, a certain group of games is selected, the most relevant in a particular situation. For each group, parents can make a didactic game with their own hands, based on the developmental characteristics of the baby.
Musical and didactic games
There is a huge selection of musical and didactic games for children of different ages, which, depending on the direction, will help kids develop hearing, rhythm and speech. All classes are held in the form of games using anya musical instrument at home or in a group in a kindergarten, as well as with a simple toy that the child really likes. Do-it-yourself musical and didactic games will be aimed at eliminating the speech problems of your baby.
The simplest example: children are offered 5-7 objects that make sounds of different tonalities. The child is given to listen to how each object sounds, then he must turn away, and the adult, having chosen one of the elements, knocks on it. The child should be able to tell by ear which item was chosen.
