As we have discovered, the age category from 3 to 5 years, including your child, is characterized by socialization.
To help children easily make contact with each other and become true friends, we have prepared 5 group games that will help improve communication skills, observation and develop interest in peers.

1. "Hey!"
Benefit: Development of interest in peers, auditory perception.
How to Play: One child stands with their back to everyone else, pretending to be lost in the forest. One of the children shouts, "Hey!" and the "lost" child must guess who called out.
This game indirectly stimulates children's interest in each other through the game rules. "Hey!" helps introduce children to each other. The child standing with their back to everyone finds it more accessible to overcome communication barriers and anxiety during introductions.

2. "Little Mosquito"
Benefit: Development of mutual understanding among children.
How to Play: Children sit in a circle. The leader walks outside the circle, patting the children on their backs, and quietly pinches one of them — pretending to be a mosquito bite. The child who gets "bitten" should tense their back and shoulders. The others carefully observe each other and guess who got bitten by the mosquito.

4. "Who's Visiting Us?"
Benefit: Teaching children to shift their attention from themselves to others, take on a role, and act accordingly.
How to Play: At the beginning of the game, the leader explains to the children that they will be welcoming guests. The children must guess who exactly has come to visit them.
The leader selects players from the children, each depicting an animal. This can be done through gestures, facial expressions, and sounds.
The players portraying animals come out to the children's audience individually. The audience should guess who the guest is, greet them warmly, and invite them to sit beside them.

5. "Shop"
Benefit: Developing the ability to express thoughts clearly and concisely, improving communication skills.
How to Play: One child is the "shopkeeper," and the rest are "customers." Various items are laid out on the shop counter. The customer does not show the item they want to buy but describes it or explains what it could be used for and what can be made from it.
The shopkeeper must understand which item the customer needs.
