The article selected and developed didactic games and exercises for the formation of the morphological structure of speech: for the development and assimilation of inflection and word formation skills (nouns, adjectives and verbs), which allow one to practically master the grammatical categories of the language, expand the child’s passive and active vocabulary. The table matches games to grammatical categories.
The literature on preschool speech therapy has accumulated significant material on the formation of the morphological structure of speech. Based on the methodological recommendations of T.A. Tkachenko, the following approaches were taken into account in the work:
— a clear division of functions between the teacher and the speech therapist (the speech therapist introduces children to the grammatical category, the teacher conducts classes on a special system of lexical topics); — when planning and conducting speech therapy classes, the emphasis is on the grammatical category being studied; — when preparing classes, the task is not to put all the grammatical material into one lexical topic;
During the classes, the vocabulary topic is not indicated, thereby not limiting the active and passive dictionaries, on the basis of which this or that grammatical structure is formed. This made it possible to focus the children’s attention on the morphological form being studied (the endings of nouns, methods of word formation, etc.).
The skills of inflection, word formation and word agreement were formed, attracting children's attention to the morphological composition of the word. During the classes, the child’s attention was recorded in the form of a pronunciation emphasis on the specifically studied morpheme (prefix, suffix), which is the basis of word formation; the ending of words expressing different grammatical meanings (case, number, gender, person), which is the basis of inflection.
In order for each lesson to contribute to noticeable progress in the correction of the morphological structure of speech, a high mental load was created for this purpose. Mental load increases due to exercises for the development of verbal and logical thinking within the framework of the topic being studied, which is ensured by selecting a variety of visual material.
At the initial stage, it is important to teach children to listen attentively to spoken speech, to retain in their memory the material perceived by ear, and to be able to hear mistakes in someone else’s and their own speech. By clarifying the pronunciation and perception of sounds, improving the reproduction of word structure, the children prepared the basis for the development of understanding of speech, the grammatical and morphological system of word formation and inflection. In turn, the development of phonemic perception creates the necessary basis for the formation of the morphological structure of speech.
Play is the main activity of a preschool child, one of the characteristic patterns of child development. Play as a form of child activity contributes to the harmonious development of his mental processes, personal traits, and intellect. A number of studies (A.V. Zaporozhets and others) confirm that the formation of these qualities in a child’s play is realized much faster and more firmly than when using only didactic teaching methods.

Many parents are aware of the problem of illiterate writing that has plagued modern domestic schools. They give the child a C for the Russian language according to the principle “three, write two, it’s crazy.” Perhaps the most common mistake in illiterate writing is the inability to choose a test word.
The reasons may be:
- Poor vocabulary and lack of understanding of the meaning of words.
For example, modern children have a poorly developed verbal vocabulary. Most often, some words are replaced by other, more common and similar words. For example, almost always, looking at a picture of a grandmother knitting something, the child confidently states: she is sewing.
Sometimes, realizing that grandma still doesn’t sew, the child comes up with his own word: grandma “knits.”
- Lack of word formation skills.
The most useful thing for preventing illiterate writing is to teach your child word formation. It is impossible to know all the words in your native language. But the skill of consciously forming words is not difficult to learn. And this must be done in preschool age.
It is useful to play the following word games for word formation . There is only one requirement - first we work based on clarity.
Diagrams and drawings help the child use both the right and left hemispheres of the brain and establish a connection between them. This is the most effective option for memorizing and understanding words and expressions in the Russian language.
Word games for word formation of verbs
Word games using dynamic (movement-based) diagrams
Option for non-reading children
Let's draw a story.
This is Vasya. This is the house where he lives.
- Vasya you were leaving the house.
- walked along the sidewalk.
- across the street.
- walked to the stop.
- So was getting off the bus.
- I followed my friend.
- walked towards the school.
- Waugh went to school.
Each oval with an icon shows an action from the story.
Fig.2. Word formation according to Sh. Amonashvili
Children quickly enough (after 10-15 exercises) understand the general way of changing a verb: “Aha! It is necessary to add to the word WALK in front the short particles you-, po-, pere- and others.”
And as soon as they understand, give as many verbs as possible for training.
Option for reading children
If the child can read, then the task becomes easier. For the verb “fly” (the plane took off...), six-year-old Sofia came up with a story and drew such a diagram by the 9th lesson.
Sofia's story on word formation
There was a small plane at the airport. He stood for a long time, but really wanted to fly high, high. One day he flew into the sky. Flew over the forest. Flew over the village. Flew across the river. Flew behind a cloud. And he flew far, far away.
Scheme for the story on word formation
Rice. 3. Word formation: diagrams for readers
Word games for word formation using static diagrams
An example would be the diagram shown in Figure 1. Instead of the verb “to walk” you can put any other verb. It is useful to work with this scheme daily.
Word games for word formation without using diagrams (by ear)
Instructions. Take any two verbs. One will be cheated by an adult, the second by a child, following his example. The adult sequentially adds prefixes to the verb, naming the resulting word. The child adds such a prefix to his word and pronounces the word.
Drive | Run |
Move in Move out Move in Move in Move in Move out around Drive in | Run up (up the hill) Run away Run up (wave onto the shore) Run across Run away Run away Run around Run |
Thus, entire families (nests) of cognate words appear, from which it is not difficult to select a test word.
Word games for word formation are the easiest and fastest way to learn verb vocabulary. A preschooler is already capable of mastering word formation. It is only important that he understands the semantic meaning of the words. This is effectively facilitated by coming up with phrases with verbs and showing them in motion.
Please note that in such exercises the child does not just learn to form new words. He learns the general pattern of word formation and can apply it in a new situation without requiring the help of an adult. Language intuition practically develops.
And the last nuance: not all of the verbs formed with the help of prefixes can be used in modern speech. The child’s attention should also be drawn to this.

2. The experimenter lists the names of professions and asks the children to name them in one word - “Professions”.
Topic: Agreement of an adjective with a noun in gender, number and case.
Goals: to teach children to agree adjectives with nouns in gender, number and case; select nouns for adjectives in accordance with gender and number; based on a given generalization, find and correct errors in agreement.
Progress of the lesson
I. Organizational moment.
The experimenter demonstrates the object and invites those children to sit down who can name the signs of this object.
II. Main part.
1. Game “Collect a picture” (using constructive activities)
Children are offered cut-out pictures. It is necessary to collect them and name what they got, highlighting the endings of the words. For example, I have red tomatoes (yellow dresses, blue cups, etc.). Next, the experimenter asks each child how he would say if he had one object. What has changed in the words?
2. Game "Shop"
The experimenter, who is the seller in this game, has various objects and things “on the store counter”. Children as buyers. In order to purchase an object or thing, it is necessary to describe it. For example, please give me a red dress with blue bows; green saucers with yellow flowers, etc. The experimenter focuses the children's attention on the endings they pronounce.
3. Dynamic pause. Game “What object is this?” (with a ball)
Children stand in a semicircle. The experimenter names the sign and throws the ball to each of the children. The child who catches the ball names an object that has this feature and returns the ball. For example, long - rope, skirt, thread; long – train, day, knife, etc.
4. Game “Wildflowers” (using creative activities).
Children are given colored pencils and outline drawings of flowers. Experimenter: “Early in the morning the children went out into the field. They look - the field seems to be covered with a carpet. And the carpet is alive! And all kinds of colors are there: white, blue, red, and yellow! (Children look at the flowers and name them.) The artist painted the flowers that bloomed in that field, but the problem is: he forgot to color them! Let's color them ourselves. What is the name of this flower? (Shows the bell.) What pencil will you use to color it? Why? Etc.
After analysis, the children trace and color the flowers, and then, looking at their drawings, answer the questions: What pencil did they use to color the flowers? Why? The experimenter focuses the children's attention on the endings they pronounce.
5. Game “Find the mistake”
Children are asked to listen to the sentences, find the mistake, correct it, and repeat the sentence correctly.
There is a large book on the table. Masha read a short story. The teacher told an interesting story. A yellow sun is shining in the sky. Anya put on a red dress. There are red apples on the plates. Masha colored the leaves with a green pencil. Etc.
6. Game “What’s missing?”
The experimenter has 6 objects on the table: a blue cube, a green ball, a red ribbon, a gray cat, a yellow bucket, a white saucer. The experimenter first asks to name all the objects. Then the children close their eyes and the experimenter removes one or two objects. Next, the children open their eyes and answer the question: What’s missing from the table?
III. Bottom line
The lesson is summed up and the children’s activities are assessed.

2. Game “Set the table.”
A toy set of dishes, toy and real products are laid out on the table. The experimenter, together with the children, places food in dishes and comments on their actions, highlighting word-forming affixes with their voice.
3. Dynamic pause.
Wash the cup, wash the mug - circular movements, alternately with the left and right hands. We put it high to dry - we stretch it up. Oh! A mug fell from the shelf - head tilted left and right. We will collect the fragments - we will sweep the fragments into a dustpan.
4. Game exercise “Cookware Store”.
There are dishes on the table, and each child has a picture of the product. The experimenter explains to the children that each product must be stored in a certain container, and therefore they need to pick up the dishes in the store, but if the item is named incorrectly, the seller will not understand and will not sell the desired item. Each child must choose a piece of utensils for their product with the comment: “I have sugar, and I will buy a sugar bowl,” etc.
5. Game exercise “Donkey visiting a bear cub.”
The children are told that the bear cub invited the donkey to visit, but does not know how to properly arrange the food and needs help. Children must arrange the products correctly and explain their choice: “Sugar should be put in the sugar bowl, sweets in the candy bowl,” etc.
III. Bottom line.
The lesson is summarized. Children's activities are assessed.
Olga Naumova “We read with joy”
Author's stories and fairy tales with tasks for reading and retelling.
A wonderful colorful book with good stories and fairy tales. Some words in the texts are replaced with small drawings. Developmental tasks are given for each text.
What could be more pleasant than interesting and close communication with a child? Reading together is just one of the tools that gives magical moments of joyful pastime.
You can work with texts in different ways. If your baby can’t read yet, then read the words to him, each time stopping at the picture, which he will be happy to voice to you. This is a very effective technique in the learning process. The child hears and learns the correct intonation, pronunciation, and stress.
Children who read can read on their own. The pictures present will relieve the stress that beginning readers usually experience, and will also facilitate the process of understanding what they read. All texts are very convenient for retelling.
Stories and fairy tales are accompanied by tasks. All of them are aimed at developing the child’s abilities:
- attention;
- speeches;
- thinking;
- memory;
- broadening one's horizons;
- fine motor skills of the hand, etc.
The book will be of interest to preschoolers and 1st grade students. Texts of different difficulty levels.
A page from a book.
Be sure to take the time to expand your child's language experience. Some of the suggested exercises can be performed even while walking. Texts with pictures not only make reading easier and develop speech, but also arouse the child’s interest in the book.
I also suggest that you pay attention to the development of a child’s visual-effective and visual-figurative thinking, which is also formed in preschool age.

2. How to examine word formation in preschoolers? During the examination, the ability of children to use word formation methods is also revealed. As is known, according to their word-forming function, suffixes are divided into two groups: suffixes of the first group form not new words on behalf of nouns, but words with an additional meaning - diminutive, affectionate-dismissive, magnifying. Suffixes of the second group form new words from verbs of nouns and adjectives that denote professions of people, things, qualities, etc. To identify the ability to use suffixes of the first group, you can use tasks to form a diminutive form of a noun from a given word. Formation of nouns with diminutive and affectionate suffixes. Goal: to identify children’s ability to form nouns with diminutive suffixes. Material: pictures depicting two identical objects of different sizes. Five pictures. Instructions: “I will name the large object, and you call the small object affectionately.”
Children’s ability to use suffixes of the second group is revealed by forming new words from nouns (the examiner demonstrates this technique with an example): a) denoting professions. The material for the examination is words written on cards. An approximate list of them: boots, work, drawing, stove, glass, newspaper; b) indicating the names of animals and their cubs (wolf - she-wolf - wolf cubs; bear - she-bear - bear cub - cubs). Other similar tasks: - convert nouns denoting materials (wood, glass, iron) into adjectives using suffixes. In these cases, the task is made easier by asking the question: “If an object is made of wood, what kind is it?” In case of difficulty, the child is prompted with the answer: “The table is wooden, but what about the roof?...;
- convert verbs into nouns denoting names of professions. The survey material is words written on cards (fly, translate, carry, tell). The instructions are similar to the previous one. Formation of adjectives from nouns. Goal: identifying the ability to transform nouns into adjectives. Material: glass, pencil, cube, paper boat. Instructions: “This glass is made of glass, so what is it?” etc.
During the examination of the grammatical structure of the language, the ability of children to form words using prefixes is also revealed. One of the simplest techniques that reveals these abilities in children is the formation of derivative verbs.
Formation of derivative verbs. Goal: identifying the ability to form verbs from verb stems using prefixes. Material: pictures depicting a boy who: leaves the house, enters the house, approaches the house, goes around the house, crosses the street. Instructions: “Tell me what the boy is doing?” Following the completion of tasks, the examiner records which suffixes of the first and second groups the child uses. The nature of the mistakes made is also analyzed, i.e. It is revealed that the child mixes suffixes that are unambiguous or have different meanings. If a child cannot cope with the given tasks at all, this indicates a very low level of development of the grammatical means of the language. The use of suffixes only of the first group also indicates this. Attempts (even erroneous ones) to form words with suffixes of both groups indicate a higher level of mastery of the methods of word formation. A similar picture is revealed when considering the results of children completing tasks to form new words using prefixes. 3. What techniques are used when examining the ability to use prepositions in speech?
During the examination, the child’s ability to use prepositional control is determined using the following tasks: create phrases from a verb and a noun with a preposition or a sentence based on a plot picture or performed actions. Material for examination – plot pictures. For example: The dog is sleeping in the kennel. The ball flies over the fence. The path goes from the gate to the porch. A dog ran out from around the corner. Etc. It is also useful to use the following picture plots: a crow flies to a tree, a crow sits on a tree, a crow flies from a tree, i.e. the same subject performs different actions. Another technique is to substitute the missing preposition into the given text. The required preposition may not be available, or the child may have to find it among other prepositions. For example, the preposition under - among the prepositions under, on, about. Material for examination - cards with recording of sentences in which prepositions are missing, for example: The lamp hangs ... on the table. A more complex option is to substitute the missing preposition and change the ending of the controlled word. When starting to analyze a particular group of errors, the examiner must take into account the frequency of the child’s use of the form in question. Particular attention should be paid to the analysis of errors made by children when using nouns in indirect cases with various prepositions. These errors are considered in two interrelated aspects: 1) the correct use of prepositions, i.e. finding out what relationships and with what prepositions children express; 2) do the case endings of the phrases and sentences composed by children correspond to the prepositions used, i.e. whether prepositions fulfill their syntactic function. It is possible to get an idea of children’s ability to use prepositional control only by considering these errors in their entirety, taking into account the nature and frequency of their manifestations. During the examination, the following types of errors are most often recorded in the protocol, revealing the unformedness of the prepositional control: - absence of a preposition, a limited number of prepositions (in, on, etc.) used only to express visual relations, with the inability to correctly convey case endings in a phrase with a preposition (lies on the table); - introduction (insertion) of prepositions into syntactic structures that do not require their use; - replacements and confusion of prepositions expressing types of relationships with insufficient differentiation. Proper organization of the survey requires the availability of pre-prepared material. It can either be concentrated in an album or presented on cards (in the form of handouts). Each reception must have its own serial number, which greatly facilitates the maintenance of protocol records. The results of each test must be recorded in the protocol. Protocol form and recording options:
Last name... First name... Age... Date...
No. of the presented Sample (task) Questions and instructions for the examination Results of the task Observations of the child’s reaction (notes)
