What mother does not want her child to become an intelligent and educated person. To achieve this goal, many parents deal with children. It allows from the childhood to teach the child to read, count and logically think. Especially for the development of logical thinking Hungarian psychologist and mathematician Zoltan Dienes developed his own technique. It is ideal for games with children 3-4 years old. The simplest games can be started from two. A difficult task will be interesting and, by the way, it is useful to fulfill the first class.
What are the logical blocks for Gienesh?
- acquaintance with geometric figures, their kinds;
- development of logical thinking;
- formation of the ability to distinguish colors, shape, size, thickness;
- development of creative abilities.
In addition, by constantly engaging in the Gienesh system your child learns: to analyze, compare, abstract, classify, generalize. All these skills will help him in further schooling.
What are the developing blocks of Gienesh?
In the didactic set, 48 blocks are collected. None of them is repeated. And each has four characteristics:
- color (yellow, red, blue);
- form (circle, square, triangle and rectangle);
- size (large and small);
- thickness (thick and thin).
They can be purchased at a children's store or ordered online. If you have the skills and abilities, then it will not be difficult for you to make wooden blocks of Gyenes yourself.
Often in a set with figures, cards for logical games with blocks of Gyenes are offered, which if desired can be made by themselves.
There are two types of cards. The first displays the feature of the object (red, circle, thin and so on). The second is the negation of the trait (not yellow, not thick, not small). Examples of such cards you can see in the picture. They can be downloaded and printed, or you can approach it creatively and draw the pictures yourself.

For the development of creative imagination, show the child how from the figures you can add a picture. It could be a butterfly, a little man or anything. Examples of such images are shown in the picture. Having combined several such applications, the child himself will learn to invent patterns.
Didactic games with blocks of Gyenes
For kids the game "choose the same" is suitable, for example, find all the red ones, or all the square ones. When this task is easy for the child to manage, complicate it. Ask to find not such as this (not blue, not thin).
Interpretation of this game is a "multi-storey house" . In it, assign cards will help you. Draw a house on a large sheet. Let on each floor settle figures with certain properties. Place cards next to the floors, and let the child lay out the blocks, observing the conditions on the card.
To develop tactile sensations it is possible with the help of the following exercise: fold all the figures into a pouch and ask the child to get all the thick ones.
The game " treasure hunt" is suitable for older kids. You hide a treasure under a figure, and a child, asking leading questions, must find a treasure. Questions can be the following:
- Treasure under the big block?
- No. (it means under small)
"Under the curtain?"
- No.
"Under the blue?"
- Yes.
- Under the round?
- No.
and so on.
The game "stripped blocks" is designed for older children. In it, the child must conduct a comparative analysis of all the blocks and divide them into groups. Scheme of the game is shown in the picture. The task sounds like this: Santa Claus brought a big bag of gifts to the forest and said: "Let Lisa take all the small gifts, Bear will take all the fat, and the Wolf is all round . " We put three hoops on the floor, as shown in the picture and classify the blocks according to the task.
