Relevance. The first humanoid knight was proposed by Leonardo da Vinci in 1495, in 1738 the French mechanic Jacques de Waccanson created the first android, and in 1921 the Czech writer Karel Capek coined the word “robot”.
Robotics entered the world at a rapid pace in the middle of the 20th century. It was one of the most advanced, prestigious, and expensive areas of mechanical engineering. The basis of robotics was technical physics, electronics, measurement technology and many other technical and scientific disciplines.
Today it is impossible to imagine life in the modern world without mechanical machines programmed to create and process food, sew clothes, assemble cars, control complex systems management, etc. Robotics today is one of the most dynamically developing areas of industry. At the beginning of the 21st century, robotics is one of the priority areas in the field of economics, mechanical engineering, healthcare, military affairs and other areas of human activity. Specialists with knowledge in this area are in demand.
In the USA, Japan, Korea, China, and in a number of European countries, robotics is developing by leaps and bounds. Already from kindergarten, children have the opportunity to attend clubs and innovation centers dedicated to robotics and high technology. Japan is a country where modernization and robotics have become a cult. This is why we are seeing high-speed technological growth in the country.
What do we have?
In Russia there is such a problem: insufficient supply of engineering personnel and the low status of engineering education. There is already a huge demand in Russia for specialists with knowledge in this field.
In Russia, a whole range of knowledge is offered to children, but, unfortunately, such an area as robotics is extremely poorly represented. But it will soon be in great demand and prestigious in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to popularize the engineering profession, because the use of robots in everyday life, in production and on the battlefield requires that users have modern knowledge in the field of robot control. Kindergarten is the first stage where you can develop initial knowledge and skills in the field of robotics, instill in students an interest in robotics and automated systems.
Federal State Educational Standard Modern society has an urgent need for
highly qualified specialists with high intellectual capabilities. Therefore, it is so important, starting from preschool age to form and develop technical inquisitive thinking, an analytical mind, to form personality qualities designated by the federal state educational standards of preschool education. Formation of motivation for the development of learning in preschoolers, as well as creative, cognitive activity- these are the main tasks that teachers face today within the framework of the Federal State Educational Standard. In this regard, great importance is assigned to design, which encourages both the head and hands to work equally, while two hemispheres of the brain work, which affects the all-round development of the child. Design in kindergarten it has always been. It is carried out with children of all ages, both in classes and in joint and independent activities of children, in accessible game form, from simple to complex.
But if earlier priorities were placed on constructive thinking and development fine motor skills, then a new approach is now required in accordance with the new standards.
Modern children are technically “advanced,” but ready-made toys deprive them of the opportunity to create on their own. But even the smallest set of building elements opens up a new world for a child. Therefore, we need to help children practical study, design and independent production of technical objects.
Each person has his own path of development and improvement. The task of education comes down to creating an environment that makes it easier for a child to discover his own potential, to allow him to act freely, learning about this environment, and through it the world. The role of the teacher is to organize and equip an appropriate educational environment and encourage the child to learn and act.
Designers.
Currently, such productive activities as Lego construction and educational robotics are becoming very popular in working with preschoolers. This direction in the development of education in our country is laid down by the federal target program “Concept for the development of education for 2016-2020.”
Lego construction and educational robotics - new educational technology, represents the most advanced areas of science and technology, is a relatively new interdisciplinary area of education and development of children.
This technology is relevant in the context of the implementation of federal state educational standards for preschool education, because:
- is an excellent tool for the intellectual development of preschool children,
Allows the teacher to combine education, upbringing and development of preschoolers in game mode (learn and learn in the game);
Allows the student to show initiative and independence in various types of activities - play, communication, construction, etc.
Combines play with research and experimental activities, provides the child with the opportunity to experiment and create his own own world where there are no boundaries.
The reasons for the increasingly active entry of robotics into preschool education are related to its capabilities and the tasks solved with its help:
Development of fine motor skills by working with small details designers;
Math and counting skills: even at the level of selecting parts, comparing parts by size and counting within 10-15;
First programming experience;
Design skills, familiarity with the basics of mechanics;
Team work: the robot is usually made by two or three people;
Presentation skills: when a project is completed, you need to talk about it
Today, the educational market offers a large number of interesting construction sets, but can all of them be called educational? What criteria must a designer meet to be considered educational?
Firstly, the designer should strive for infinity, that is, offer as many design options as the teacher and child can come up with, he should not limit the imagination.
Secondly, the designer must contain the idea of complication, which, as a rule, is provided by the constituent elements, details of the designer, which make the design diverse and, in the long term, complex.
Third, the construction set should be part of a line of construction sets that provide the ability to work sequentially with each set, depending on the age of the children and the design tasks.
Fourth, carry a full semantic load and knowledge, which is expressed in the meaningful creation and reproduction by children of models of reality objects from construction set parts.
A designer who meets these criteria is able to perform the serious task associated with harmonious full development child.
Mastering the designer and its use should be a guided process, not a spontaneous one. For these purposes, a mandatory element of the learning process is that the teacher has a clear strategy for using the constructor in educational educational process.
Mastering robotic design skills for preschoolers occurs in stages:
1. At the first stage of work, you get acquainted with the designer and assembly instructions, study the technology of connecting parts.
- At the second stage, children are taught to assemble simple structures based on a model.
- At the third stage, the teacher is faced with the task of introducing children to the programming language and icons, as well as the rules of programming in a computer environment.
- The fourth stage of improving the models proposed by the developers, creating and programming models with more complex behavior.
Young designers explore how changing the design of a model affects its behavior: they replace parts, conduct tests, evaluate its capabilities, create reports, give presentations, come up with stories, write scripts and act out performances using their models.
For effective organization classes, it is necessary to arrange the environment where classes will be held with children. In many preschools educational institutions Today there are special rooms. The technical center houses an interactive complex for demonstrating video materials, technological processes, mastering the basics of programming, shelves for containers with construction sets, tables and chairs for joint activities with children and parents. There will also be a corner for the teacher-organizer, where there will be methodological literature and the necessary material for educational activities.
During educational activities, children become builders, architects and creators; while playing, they come up with and implement their ideas. Beginning with simple figures, the child moves further and further, and, seeing his successes, he becomes more self-confident and moves on to the next, more complex stage of learning.
It’s unlikely that anyone seriously believes that robotics for preschoolers has anything in common with the operation of industrial robots. On the other hand, such classes are the first step towards further training in robotics: familiarization with mechanics, program control, feedback and other elements.
This technology has a great future. It is very relevant. Our industry lacks highly qualified engineers, designers, and technologists, but robotics perfectly develops technical thinking and technical ingenuity in children. Robotics has shown high efficiency in the educational process; it successfully solves the problem of social adaptation of children of almost all age groups. And robotics competitions are vibrant educational events that unite children and adults.
Teaching children using robotic equipment is not only learning through play, but also technical creativity at the same time, which contributes to the education of active, passionate, self-sufficient people of the new generation.
Conclusion. Why hasn't robotics been used before if it's so useful and unique? Again, there are several reasons. Firstly, any changes in education come very slowly. Secondly, today there are more opportunities both in terms of choosing the purchase of designers, and in terms of methods, and in terms of personnel training. Requests from parents also play a certain role in this process. Overall, this process is slow and difficult.
How Lego is made. aslan wrote in May 10th, 2013
Today we will go to the city of Billund in Denmark to visit the factory that produces the world famous LEGO designer. Let's look at the production process from the inside, and follow the progress of processing and packaging of the famous designer.
These bricks lie in front of the Lego Group headquarters in Billund. 
The company was born in 1932. Its founder was the Dane Ole Kirk Christiansen, who was the foreman of a team of carpenters and joiners. In 1947, the company expanded production and began producing plastic toys. Since its introduction in 1949, LEGO elements in all their versions have remained compatible with each other. So, for example, elements created in 1958 are still paired with elements released in 2010, despite radical changes in the design and shape of the elements over the years.
All parts of LEGO construction sets are manufactured according to a certain standard with high degree precision, which allows you to connect them without significant effort. In addition, after joining, the parts must be securely attached to each other. To ensure these conditions, the design elements are manufactured with an accuracy of 2 micrometers.
Since 1991, with the beginning of the era of computer video games, the Lego company suffered losses for 11 years, correcting this situation only with the release of new robotic sets.
The process of creating Lego bricks is actually not that complicated. The production of designer elements consists of pouring liquid plastic into a mold and placing it under a press. The form cools, opens, and you have a ready-made Lego brick in your hands. Then comes the second, more complex part of the process - processing, adding artistic details such as suits, ties, etc.
This is the reception area at Lego headquarters. Pay attention to the ceiling and chairs - they seem to be made from construction bricks.
All Lego sets are made from the same plastic based on acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. It comes to Lego directly from suppliers and is then stored in giant silos. It is usually either red or clear, and piece-specific dye is added to the molding machines. This is a container filled with liquid plastic based on acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene, with the addition of individual dyes.
This is a molding machine. First, very hot plastic is poured into the molds on the right side. It then spreads through small channels and enters the pressing area through very small incisions. When cold water poured into the molding machine, it helps the plastic cool and the mold opens, allowing the bricks to fall freely onto the conveyor belt.
Currently there are about 7 thousand. active forms, which are used in the production of Lego. However, in general, the company has more than 9 thousand of these forms at its disposal, many of which are waiting in the wings on the shelves, like this one, for example. The average form costs about 72 thousand dollars, the cost of the most complex and expensive is 360 thousand dollars.
Here you can see how plastic is poured into the pressing area of the molding machine.
In this photo we see two ellipsoidal parts that have just been in the mold. After a few seconds they will fall onto the conveyor belt.
This photo shows a mold for making ellipsoidal parts from the top photo.
The produced bricks and other elements can later be used in different ways. These blue pieces can be used both as heads for tiny figures and as decoration for other elements.
Thousands of purple Lego bricks that were under pressure just a few minutes ago.
This is one of twelve molding modules located in Billund. Each module, or dedicated production room, houses up to 64 working molding machines, divided into two blocks of 32 machines each.
A robotic arm removing waste from the melting process and making parts from a molding machine. The plastic will be sent back for melting and will be used very soon.
Basket for production waste.
Production at the Lego factory is virtually waste-free, as plastic is put to good use. However, some of the waste generated during the production process is still sent to trash can.
Pipes through which plastic granules enter molding machines. The noise this creates is reminiscent of the noise that would be caused by billions of grains of rice moving through plastic pipes.
The molding machines are used for four weeks before being taken out and thoroughly cleaned. In the photo we see a company employee performing this procedure.
At this stage of production of figurines, arms, legs, heads and others will be attached to them. additional details and elements.
The robot attaches hands to the figurine.
Here you can see how the machine stamps faces and shirts onto the figures.
This display shows the weight of a small bag of Lego pieces, known as a pre-tare. The weight should be between 94.9 and 95.7 grams. This pre-pack weighs 94.94 grams, so it passes inspection. However, as the display shows, five bags were too light and one was too heavy.
Pre-packed Lego pieces on a conveyor belt, at the end of which they are weighed.
This is the packaging department, most of the parts are in bags that go into the container automatically. But some bags are too big and you have to shake them by hand to evenly distribute the parts and make the bags flatter and thinner.
Hundreds of cardboard blanks that will be used to make boxes for Lego sets with the theme " Star Wars».
This machine controls the height of the boxes so that they can close tightly and pieces do not fall out during transportation.
Boxes of Star Wars-themed Lego sets on an assembly line.
This machine automatically closes the boxes and seals them.
Boxes of Star Wars themed Lego sets are fully packed and ready to ship.
This machine takes two ready-made boxes of Star Wars sets and places them in boxes of six.
A worker picks up two boxes that accidentally fell from the conveyor.
Each of these boxes contains six boxes of Star Wars themed Lego sets.
Now these boxes will go to the Czech Republic, where they will go to the official Lego distribution center, to the warehouse of the plant in the city of Kladno, which, by the way, produces 35-40% (over a million parts) of all the company’s products. There is a giant robotic warehouse, one of the largest in Europe, where orders are processed and products are sent to retail outlets around the world.
If you have a production or service that you want to tell our readers about, write to Aslan ( [email protected] ) and we will make the best report that will be seen not only by readers of the community, but also of the site
With the help of Lego constructors, kids can create their own unique world, simultaneously mastering complex mathematical knowledge, developing motor coordination, fine motor skills, and training the eye. Design classes stimulate curiosity, develop imaginative and spatial thinking, activate fantasy and imagination, awaken initiative and independence, as well as interest in invention and creativity. The teacher faces the most important task - to create the necessary conditions for involving children in an exciting activity that allows them to reveal the potential abilities of their students.
Goals of teaching Lego construction in kindergarten, specific tasks and techniques
Lego construction is a type of productive activity based on creative modeling () using a wide range of universal Lego elements. The use of Lego constructors helps to achieve serious educational goals, because in the process of exciting creative and educational game Favorable conditions are created to stimulate the all-round development of a preschooler in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard.
During the design process, favorable conditions are created that promote comprehensive development preschoolers
Lego technology is an example of the integration of all educational areas both in organized educational activities and in children’s independent activities. Let us give an example of the intersection of educational and educational directions in the process of children's design:
- - the child selects and counts out the parts required in size, color, configuration.
- Development of speech and communication skills - the child replenishes the dictionary with new words, communicates with adults in the process of construction, asks specific questions about various subjects, clarifies their properties.
- Correctional work has a beneficial effect on the development of the child as a whole (fine motor skills, memory, attention, logical and spatial thinking, creativity, etc. are developed).
- Educational work - playing together with other children and with adults helps the child become more organized, disciplined, purposeful, emotionally stable and efficient, thus playing a positive role in the process of preparing the child for school.

Objectives of the Lego Method
Junior preschool age (2–4 years):
- learn to distinguish and correctly name the parts of the Lego constructor “Duplo” (brick, beak, bridge, base of the car, semicircle, oval, etc.);
- introduce elementary mental operations of analyzing buildings according to the following parameters: shape, size, color of parts, learn to compare objects;
- create a simple structure according to a sample and specified conditions, for example, a fence for a farm, a garage for a car;
- replenish the dictionary with new phrases: long (short), wide (narrow) blue path;
- develop fine motor skills and visual coordination in the process of attaching construction kit parts.
With children 3–4 years old, Lego sets with large elements and simple connections of parts are used
Middle preschool age (4–5 years):
- to develop knowledge about symmetry, proportions, the concept of part and whole;
- teach construction using Lego cards;
- remember and freely use the names of Lego parts in speech.
In the middle group, medium-sized design elements are used, diagrams, photos and pictures with images of models are used
Senior and preparatory groups:
- stimulate children's technical creativity;
- teach modeling based on drawings and your own ideas;
- develop the ability to independently solve technical problems;
- introduce the basics of computer modeling.
When working with older preschoolers, you can use complex models made from small parts
Basic ideas of Lego technology:
- from simple to complex;
- taking into account age and individual characteristics;
- creativity and effectiveness;
- development of creative abilities;
- an integrated approach that involves a synthesis of teaching, gaming, and developmental activities.
Features of practical use taking into account the age of children:
- With children 3–4 years old, Lego sets with large elements and simple connections of parts are used.
- With children 4–5 years old, the design becomes more complicated, medium-sized elements are used, more complex options connection of parts. In the middle group, color photographs and pictures with images of models are used, according to which children must build. Creative activity is carried out according to a theme, a model, a plan and the simplest conditions.
- At 6–7 years old, a variety of technical creativity is offered different types Lego constructors, from large ones with simple connections of elements to the most miniature ones with complex technology execution. When working with older preschoolers, you can use tasks in the form of graphic diagrams, complicated models of future buildings, work based on design, conditions, and various thematic tasks.
One of the forms of implementation of the Lego method is a festival
Forms of implementation of the Lego method in kindergarten:
- Scheduled lessons (10–15 minutes per younger group, 20 minutes in middle school, 25–30 minutes in high school and preparatory classes).
- Individual work of a teacher in pairs with a child or with a subgroup of children (once a week no more than 40 minutes):
- preparing a child for a competition;
- working with gifted or underdeveloped children.
- Long-term and short-term projects, the participants of which may be:
- educator;
- children and parents.
- Everyday independent design, construction game in free time from scheduled classes.
- Festivals, competitions, quizzes.
- Club work, which is carried out by teachers of a preschool institution.
Theatrical play develops imagination and creativity
Techniques for working with children during design classes using a block constructor
The following pedagogical techniques are used in the learning process:
Work according to the schemes can be offered to preschoolers in a playful way
- Creative design based on a plan or a drawn model. Such classes are practiced with older preschoolers who have already mastered the basic techniques, and they can be offered work using pictures, photographs depicting an object on a favorite topic.

Organizing and conducting classes with Lego in kindergarten
A lesson in kindergarten has its own logical structure:
- The organizational stage is a motivating start in a playful way (up to 5 minutes).
- The main stage (from 10 minutes in the younger group to 25 minutes in the preparatory group) - the most active practical part classes, which includes the following activities:
- showing a sample, explanation by the teacher step by step instructions, analysis of the card diagram;
- independent work of children according to a model, scheme or creative concept; preschoolers can work individually, in pairs or as part of a small subgroup;
- physical education, video exercises with Lego men, outdoor games, finger or breathing exercises, which will help you relax, and then return to exciting design with fresh energy.
- The final, final stage (up to 5 minutes) - reflection, cleaning of workplaces, organizing an exhibition of children's works. The analysis is carried out taking into account the following criteria:
- neatness, symmetry, integrity and attractive appearance of the structure;
- technical skills;
- degree of independence of the work done;
- determination, discipline, hard work, sense of camaraderie and emotional responsiveness shown while working on the project.
Where to begin
It is important to conduct the organizational part of the lesson in an unusual, interesting, exciting and creative way. A bright, intriguing beginning will help to form a positive attitude towards the lesson and the teacher, create a favorable emotional mood, liberate the children and awaken the desire to experiment and create. To activate cognitive interest, search activity and attention of preschoolers, the teacher in the introductory part of the lesson usually uses rich and varied motivating material in combination with pedagogical techniques:
- moment of surprise - introducing a toy character, a loved one, into dialogue with children fairy tale hero who will ask for help, puzzle and delight, invite children on an exciting journey to a fairyland;
- video message from a fairy-tale or fictional character;
- poems and riddles;
- reading a fragment of a work of fiction;
- didactic and outdoor games;
- educational conversation and discussion of issues;
- problematic situation;
- music, viewing pictures, demonstrating presentations, videos or animated films.
It is important to conduct the organizational part of the lesson in an unusual, interesting, exciting and creative way.
Table: examples of the motivational part of the lesson
| Lesson topic | Description of the motivating part |
| “Journey to Lego Land” (problem situation) | Video message from residents of Lego Country: "Hello guys! The insidious wizard broke all the rides in our favorite park fun games and entertainment. Now our residents have stopped smiling and become very sad. We ask you to visit our country, help us renovate the amusement park and bring back the smiles of all Lego people.” |
| "Circus" (problem situation) | An impromptu circus consists of chairs arranged in a semicircle. Children take seats in four multi-colored sectors, according to the tickets, which are Lego pieces of red, blue, green and yellow flowers. On the screen is the plot of a circus performance, a teacher in a clown costume introduces the children to the problem: “Guys, an accident happened at the circus, all our trained animals disappeared. The show will be cancelled. Will you help bring back our top artists?” The children agree, and the happy clown offers to perform some tricks with Lego parts ( didactic games). |
| Didactic fairy tale on the theme “Traffic Light” | This activity will help you not only learn the basics of design, but also become familiar with the rules of behavior on the road. Once upon a time there lived three friends: the little bunny Mitya, the bear cub Fedya and the little fox Lizonka. One day they decided to play ball on the playground, and the playground was across the street. Friends stopped near the road and began to think about how to get to the other side. The bunny's dad noticed their confusion and told them how to cross the road safely and correctly. Crosswalk drawn with white stripes (zebra). It turns out that the crossing has its own important boss named Traffic Light, who commands pedestrians and cars. You can recognize it by three circles that light up in turn. If the red eye is on, you need to stand still. A yellow eye means “attention” - cars begin to slow down, and pedestrians prepare to move. When the light turns green, you can safely cross the road. |
| “Building gates” (discussion of issues in the younger group) | Let's see what construction parts our trucks brought. What is this? (bricks) What can you build with bricks? (gates, steps, houses) What kind of gate do we have? Are they durable, comfortable and beautiful? (show picture) What are the gates for? (so cars can drive in and out) What kind of gates need to be built to allow large vehicles to pass through? (wide and tall) Do you want to build a gate? Think about what kind of cars your gate will accommodate. |
| “Dunno came to visit us” (moment of surprise) | Dunno came to visit the guys with a suitcase, but it turns out that a “key” will help open it, which will be the solved riddle. After completing the task and opening the suitcase, the children find a construction set and diagram cards there. Dunno sees the mysterious details for the first time and does not understand at all what can be made from them. The teacher asks the children to come up with and construct interesting and beautiful models, and then tell Dunno about them. |
Fascinating educational games will create a favorable emotional mood
Table: games for classes using the Lego method
| Name of the game | Description |
| "Magic dictation" | Geometric mosaic, which helps to consolidate the concepts of spatial perception: above - below, right - left. Following verbal instructions, children independently place Lego pieces on the plate. |
| "Collect a chain" | The game develops the ability to compose the simplest logical chains of alternating parts, selected by color, shape, size. |
| The game reinforces the names of parts, develops attention and memory. | |
| Drawing up a variety of symmetrical patterns. | |
| "Mystery Guest" | Construction of a simple model following verbal instructions in the form of a dictation. |
| "Magic Path" | When building a path, you need to follow the rules, for example, each player continues the logical chain by installing a brick of the same color or size. |
| “Collect the parts” (outdoor game) | Children are divided into two teams of players, each of which has its own piece a certain color, for example: two by two blue and two by four red. Players take turns transferring parts from one box to another, and the team that completes the task faster wins. |
| "Lego Men" | The men in red suits symbolize vowel sounds, and the men in blue suits symbolize consonants. By changing the places of the “little men”, the child receives new sound combinations and new syllables. In the future, Lego men will be replaced by red and blue bricks, with which you can create diagrams of words and sentences. |
| Role-playing game "Space travel" | The game is aimed at developing cognitive interest, interaction skills and constructive abilities. The teacher invites the children to prepare for the flight to the orbital station, simultaneously explaining that this is a kind of space house for holding scientific research. Before the flight, astronauts receive assignments from engineers, doctors, biologists, and astronomers. Children, together with their teacher, select a team of astronauts, a group of doctors who will prepare the astronauts for the flight. Then engineers, designers and builders are appointed who will create the aircraft according to the drawn model. The designers plan the sequence of their actions: they build a platform from plates, fuel sections from bricks, the body and nose of the rocket from cylinders and a cone. The astronauts are given the task: to sketch oncoming planets, stars, and to study the behavior of plants in space. The rocket sets off on a journey, doctors, engineers and designers monitor the flight, the radio operator is responsible for uninterrupted communication. |
| "Balance" (outdoor game) | The child puts a Lego brick on his head, the other children give him tasks, for example, sit down twice, take three steps forward, turn right, spin. If a child completes three tasks and does not drop the piece, then he has won and is awarded a prize. |
| "Jump to the toy" | Pre-designed and prepared toys (houses, bridges, towers, cars, etc.) are placed in game room. At the signal, children begin to move towards the toys. The child who reaches the goal first wins. |
| "Continue the story" | Children, together with the teacher, determine who they will write a story about and choose figures from a set. The teacher begins the phrase, the children select or construct the right toy, then everyone comes up with the continuation and ending of the phrase. |
| "Room for toys" | Children choose cards with furniture design diagrams, discuss with the teacher each option, the purpose of the piece of furniture, and the sequence of actions. |
| "Who knows how to do what" | Children look at an animal figurine from a set and name its actions, for example, a mouse - runs, jumps, gnaws; kitten - purrs, tumbles, drinks milk, scratches, plays with a ball; puppy - barks, plays, wags its tail, runs, etc. |
| "Find a toy" | The teacher lays out the pre-prepared crafts, then asks the children to answer questions and find the constructed toy, for example, which toy is on the left? What's below? What's to the right? |
| "One-many" | The goal of the game is to consolidate the skills of forming genitive forms plural nouns. The teacher lays out simple buildings made by children (houses, flowers, cars, etc.) on the table and builds a conversation on this topic. |

Poems about Lego
- Lego is a smart game
Attractive, cunning.
It's fun to play here
Build, compose, search!
I invite all my friends
Collect Lego quickly.
It's also interesting for adults:
It's good to play with Lego! - One, two, three - add up the parts,
So that they become a machine.
Build a garage. After
Don't forget to build a house.
You can go to the very threshold
Pave another road
Select a location for the bridge -
That will be beauty!
From the constructor of this
Whatever you do, everything works! - Cars, robots, animals,
Your friends, your girlfriends.
Pirates, castles and miners,
And trains, and the whole city!
Your favorite heroes -
On land, in the air, at sea.
Are you with them the whole world open it -
You will go, fly, build...
And into this world - cheerful, bright,
Where are the magical gifts?
You plunge into the sea from the shore:
Welcome to the LEGO world! - Lego is a fantasy world!
A world of ideas and diversity.
Studying the diagrams in it,
It might turn out to be a house.
Or we'll build a castle
Where does the big dragon live?
He is guarding the princess
And he growls like fire at everyone.
Lego develops hands
And it doesn’t stop us from dreaming.
And I’ll tell you about Lego
This is the best game! - There are millions of spare parts here!
We are Lego champions!
Do you want to cheer up?
Start playing Lego.
You can build everything from Lego,
The main thing is to use your imagination.
We have a Lego constructor,
You won't be bored with him,
We build cars and houses
And we advise everyone to play.
Lego is beautiful!
We build different houses from cubes
And the car and the garage,
A house, a ship, even a school.
Lego is simply “super” class!
Now we don't run at all
We don't want to at all
Because in "super" Lego
We play as a group! - The boy was, oh, mischievous!
And now it’s completely different.
When they bought him Lego,
Oleg is unrecognizable now.
He doesn't look like himself
He barely looks at the drawing,
And the robot is already walking,
Instead of a nose there is a long trunk,
Colored pattern on the sleeves.
Our designer is a dreamer,
Plays for hours
How calm my mother felt.
She is happy for Oleg!
Buy Lego for your kids!
Table: example of a summary of a lesson-project on Lego construction in the preparatory group “Let's build an amusement park”
| Author | R.R. Bodanova |
| Target | Create a children's park using the LEGO-DUPLO constructor. |
| Tasks |
|
| Preparatory stage | Preliminary work (motivation to collect information). Last week we reminisced about how we spent our summer. Many children visited different children's amusement parks. Share your impressions. - Every city has parks. People walk there, trees and flowers grow, there are fountains. In the summer I went to Luna Park with my family. This is a children's amusement park. There was a roller coaster, a children's Railway, Ferris wheel, attractions. In a cafe in the park, we ate ice cream and drank cola. Have any of you been to the children's park yet? - I was in the children's park “Fairytale Island”. There was also a Ferris wheel, various carousels, you can ride a Japanese bicycle, ATV, or scooter. There was also a pond in which swans swam. We fed them. We also ate ice cream in the cafe. Educator - All children visit children's parks with great pleasure and this topic is very interesting to us. Each park in the city has its own name, its own history of creation, for example: one of the “founders” of the idea of creating the “Wonderland” park in Moscow is landscape architect V.I. Ivanov (Explains the meaning of the word landscape). What is a park? Why are children's parks called children's parks? (homework assignment). |
| Organizational part | Operating rules 1.During work, do not shout, disturb or push each other; 2. Make changes to buildings under an agreement with the architect. Educator - When creating a model of a super-market from LEGO constructors, we became acquainted with such professions as an architect and an engineer. In order to begin construction, it is necessary, as before, to distribute roles in our project. We decided to select a chief architect, and then engineers responsible for each park facility. Main architector - Let's discuss what will happen in our park. I propose to create a playground with carousels and swings in the Children's Park. Vitaly: We need to make a roller coaster. Svetlana: Let there be a zoo in our park. It's so interesting! Victor: Let's also make a pond. I saw how beautiful it is. It will have swans and a bridge. Alena: We need to create an Ice Cream cafe and toy stores. Stepan: A vehicle fleet also needs to be created. Lyudmila: And decorate our park with flowers, flower beds, beautiful trees. Ivanna: Let's make a scene with benches. Main architector - Let's summarize: a playground with carousels and swings; sandbox with slides zoo; pond cafe "Ice cream"; car park; toy store, landscaping, putting up benches. Main architector - Before you start building the park, you need a plan. Let the entire territory of the park be this sheet of paper (Whatman paper, A1). Let's agree on what color we will use for our buildings. They discuss which building - what color and put it on the plan (attach it). Pink - swing; yellow - slide; blue - attractions; blue - bridge over the pond; gray - zoo cages; red - cafe; beige - benches; brown - toy stores. The result was a model of the Children's Park. Main architector - Now let’s determine on the diagram where the trees and flowers will be located. A landscape designer is responsible for the landscaping of our park. The children are discussing. - Everyone will make a proposal where their object will be located on the diagram. Play using symbols. The chief architect compares it with the plan and claims. Execution of buildings. Discussion within groups. The architect ensures that the rules are followed. |
| Main part | Independent work of children. |
| Final part | Main architector - All the guys finished construction and arranged it according to plan. Landscape architects begin work. We present the project to the jury. They can distribute parts of the presentation between engineers, or the chief architect can present everything. - In order to answer the question of what a park is, my parents and I looked at a children’s encyclopedia, the book “Why”, and in the group we watched films about a car park, a technology park, and about the Disneyland park. We learned that parks are different, but it is important who they are for. If for cars it is a car park, if cars come for a while it is a parking lot; There may be technology parks, and this means that the park houses various equipment. The children's park is called a children's park because there is a lot of entertainment for children. Such parks must have carousels, car parks, a Ferris wheel, i.e., attractions. We present to your attention our group’s children’s park project. The park has toy shops, cafes, carousels, a pond with a bridge, and a car park. Anyone who wants can go and admire the swans in the park, someone can swing on the swing. So we answered main question: A children's park is called a children's park because all parks have entertainment for children, children come there to have fun. There you can jump, run, shoot, ride, and eat ice cream. We also built our own park for children. It contains the following objects (listed). Thus, we believe that the goal has been achieved. During the construction of the park, all proposals can be taken into account. Thank you for your attention! The jury is asked no more than two clarifying questions. The jury consists of students preparatory group №2. The chairman of the jury is a teacher. |
Lego is not just a fun toy, it is a wonderful tool that promotes enrichment inner world child, the disclosure of his personal characteristics, the manifestation creative potential and realizing opportunities. A variety of activities using Lego technology provide real chance Each child will develop logical and spatial thinking, imagination, independence and skills of interaction with peers, and teachers will captivate children with technical creativity. Creative play will help to better understand the child, and therefore develop effective remedy to solve problems of both the child and the teacher.
Share with your friends!The company was born in 1932. Its founder was the Dane Ole Kirk Christiansen, who was the foreman of a team of carpenters and joiners. In 1947, the company expanded production and began producing plastic toys. Since its introduction in 1949, LEGO elements in all their versions have remained compatible with each other. So, for example, elements created in 1958 are still paired with elements released in 2010, despite radical changes in the design and shape of the elements over the years. All parts of LEGO construction sets are manufactured to a specific standard with a high degree of precision, which allows them to be connected without significant effort. In addition, after joining, the parts must be securely attached to each other. To ensure these conditions, the design elements are manufactured with an accuracy of 2 micrometers.
Since 1991, with the beginning of the era of computer video games, the Lego company suffered losses for 11 years, correcting this situation only with the release of new robotic sets. The process of creating Lego bricks is actually not that complicated. The production of designer elements consists of pouring liquid plastic into a mold and placing it under a press. The form cools, opens, and you have a ready-made Lego brick in your hands. Then comes the second, more complex part of the process - processing, adding artistic details such as suits, ties, etc.
This is the reception area at Lego headquarters. Pay attention to the ceiling and chairs - it seems that they are made of designer bricks.
All Lego sets are made from the same plastic based on acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. It comes to Lego directly from suppliers and is then stored in giant silos. It is usually either red or clear, and piece-specific dye is added to the molding machines. This is a container filled with liquid plastic based on acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene, with the addition of individual dyes.
This is a molding machine. First, very hot plastic is poured into the molds on the right side. It then spreads through small channels and enters the pressing area through very small incisions. When cold water is poured into the molding machine, it causes the plastic to cool and the mold opens, allowing the bricks to fall freely onto the conveyor belt.
Currently, there are about 7 thousand active forms that are used in the production of Lego. However, in general, the company has more than 9 thousand of these forms at its disposal, many of which are waiting in the wings on the shelves, like this one, for example. The average form costs about 72 thousand dollars, the cost of the most complex and expensive is 360 thousand dollars.
Here you can see how plastic is poured into the pressing area of the molding machine.
In this photo we see two ellipsoidal parts that have just been in the mold. After a few seconds they will fall onto the conveyor belt.
This photo shows a mold for making ellipsoidal parts from the top photo.
The produced bricks and other elements can later be used in different ways. These blue pieces can be used both as heads for tiny figures and as decoration for other elements.
Thousands of purple Lego bricks that were under pressure just a few minutes ago.
This is one of twelve molding modules located in Billund. Each module, or dedicated production room, houses up to 64 working molding machines, divided into two blocks of 32 machines each.
A robotic arm removing waste from the melting process and making parts from a molding machine. The plastic will be sent back for melting and will be used very soon.
Basket for production waste.
Production at the Lego factory is virtually waste-free, as plastic is put to good use. However, some of the waste generated during the production process is still sent to the trash bin.
Pipes through which plastic granules enter molding machines. The noise this creates is reminiscent of the noise that would be caused by billions of grains of rice moving through plastic pipes.
The molding machines are used for four weeks before being taken out and thoroughly cleaned. In the photo we see a company employee performing this procedure.
At this stage of production of the figures, arms, legs, heads and other additional parts and elements will be attached to them.
The robot attaches hands to the figurine.
Here you can see how the machine stamps faces and shirts onto the figures.
This display shows the weight of a small bag of Lego pieces, known as a pre-tare. The weight should be between 94.9 and 95.7 grams. This pre-pack weighs 94.94 grams, so it passes inspection. However, as the display shows, five bags were too light and one was too heavy.
Pre-packed Lego pieces on a conveyor belt, at the end of which they are weighed.
This is the packaging department, most of the parts are in bags that go into the container automatically. But some bags are too big and you have to shake them by hand to evenly distribute the parts and make the bags flatter and thinner.
Hundreds of cardboard blanks that will be used to make boxes for Star Wars-themed Lego sets.

Topic: “Use of LEGO technologies in educational educational process children of preschool age, as part of the implementation of an adapted general education program for preschool age in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard"
Methodological development for teachers of preschool educational institutions introducing Lego technologies in educational institutions.
Focus: general education preschool institutions.
Development of methodological support for the use of Lego in the educational process. The use of Lego constructors in project activities, in special moments. Introducing children to technical creativity.
Goal: Improving the quality of general education by introducing teachers and students to the use of the LEGO constructor as an assistant in solving the problems of implementing an adapted educational educational program in direct educational activities and in routine moments.
Tasks:
1. Analyze the effectiveness of working with Lego on the development of children’s creative abilities;
2. Highlight methods and forms of working with the Lego constructor,
3. Develop calendar and thematic planning for the use of Lego constructors within the framework of the project: “Lego speaks and shows” for preschool children educational organizations general developmental type.
4. Test the technology.
5. Implement the proposed methodological development, as a guide to using the Lego constructor in solving educational problems in the practice of our preschool educational institution.
Explanatory note
Relevance:
The modern education system is aimed at developing a highly educated, intellectually developed and creative personality with a holistic view of the world. Preschool education requires new approaches, which are laid down in the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education.
The most important distinctive feature The new generation standard is their focus on educational results based on a systematic and active approach.
Activity acts as an external condition for the child’s development cognitive processes and creative potential. . This means that in order for a child to develop, it is necessary to organize his activities according to anatomical and physiological characteristics, and a “zone of proximal development” is also necessary. This means that the educational task, among other things, consists of organizing conditions that provoke children’s action.
The relevance of issues of the effectiveness of introducing preschool children to technical creativity, the right choice action is increasing due to the country's need for creatively thinking individuals.
Work on solving this problem began in our preschool educational institution in 2015 as part of the implementation of the Federal State Educational Standard for Educational Education and search innovative forms in working with children within the framework of the implementation of an adapted educational program based on the conceptual foundations of the program “From birth to school” authors: N.E. Veraksa, T.S. Komarova, M.A. Vasiliev, which the Lego educational environment allowed us to supplement, expand and implement.
The development of software and methodological support for the use of Lego in the educational process has become an urgent task for the successful achievement of the set goal. because The designer's equipment arrived without methodological recommendations and software.
Lego technology interested me as a senior teacher because of its unusualness and the possibility of developing intellectual and creative abilities.
Since the formation of a creative personality is more effective through the implementation of project activities, therefore I began my trial work by creating a thematic project called: “Cosmodrome”. Subsequently, as part of the “Amazing Country of Lego” festival, which was held at the municipal level, the guys and I took part. Continuing work in this direction, we became diploma holders All-Russian competition on the topic: “The use of information and communication technologies in educational activities.” Advanced training courses, which were held on the basis of the educational development center of the Zlatoust urban district, on the topic: “The use of Lego educational solutions in preschool education in the context of the introduction of the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education,” showed the prospects and opportunities for the development of children in the conditions of the use of innovative technologies, as an effective addition to the solution educational tasks, as part of the implementation of an adapted general education program for preschool education.
Analysis of the work showed that the use of Lego constructors in project activities contributed to the development of creative activity, children’s individual abilities, interpersonal communication skills and collective creativity, the development of speech and the ability to analyze and plan, and work in groups helps to develop a sense of responsibility to the team. Helps develop communication skills. The use of Lego constructors increases the motivation of students to learn, because this requires knowledge from almost all areas, which teachers implement not only in direct educational activities, but also in routine moments when working with children.
Experience with the constructor allowed me to conclude that using educational system Lego is especially appropriate not only in those areas of knowledge that will be important for children in the future: computer science (abstraction, logic), technology (design), mathematics (modeling), but also in the study of humanities subjects: literary reading, history, Russian language (speech development).
Positive dynamics in the development of the quality of knowledge and the development of the motivational sphere of students, the need for teachers to constant updating methodological tools, the desire to search for knowledge, prompted a search for literature and its analysis on Lego construction, as part of the development of methodological recommendations for the implementation of the project: “Lego speaks and shows” for preschool children.
So, at this stage, we have developed a long-term thematic plan for the implementation of the project, covering children from 4-7 years old. Methods and forms of working with the Lego constructor have also been selected, corresponding age groups children.
IN methodological recommendations widely used project activities. The LEGO constructor opens up a wide field of creativity for students and is a unique basis for implementing interdisciplinary projects. The topics of such work can be varied and multifaceted. The LEGO constructor and working with it allows you to solve an educational problem in a substantive, comprehensive manner, using previously acquired knowledge. The thematic approach to the project allows you to combine knowledge from different fields into one whole. Children learn to make decisions independently, explain, and defend their ideas with reason. Joint presentation of projects helps to unite the team, fosters a sense of mutual assistance, and develops children’s speech and curiosity. The long-term thematic plan was developed taking into account the annual work plan of our institution. The methodological recommendations lack strict regulation of children's knowledge and subject-centrism in teaching.
Correction of methodological recommendations is carried out by the creative group of the Institution, decisions are approved by order of the head.
The implementation of methodological recommendations is managed by the head of the institution and the senior educator.
The mechanism for implementing methodological recommendations provides for the delimitation of the activities of all participants in the educational process.
With the help of Lego technologies, educational tasks are formed different levels– a kind of learning principle “step by step”, key to Lego pedagogy. Each child can and should work at their own pace, moving from simple tasks to more complex ones. In the proposed methodological recommendations, the developmental function of education is brought to the fore, ensuring the development of the child’s personality and orienting the teacher to his individual characteristics, which corresponds to modern scientific concepts preschool education on the recognition of the intrinsic value of the preschool period of childhood.

At an older age, the material learned is consolidated. For example: work on the “My City” project, which is included in the list of priority areas of work and based on the ideas of folk pedagogy - the “Our Home” program -Southern Urals» as part of the implementation of the adapted educational program of the preschool educational institution, allows children to learn more about the city in which they live. The teacher instills in children a respectful attitude towards their hometown, working people, and an interest in the history and architecture of their hometown. During classes and during thematic discussions, the children get acquainted not only with the professions and history of their hometown, but also make excursions to monuments.
An expansion of this topic - the project “Let's keep our city clean”, provides an opportunity to think at this age about the safety of living and keeping your city clean.
The project “Temples of the City of Chrysostom” allows you to develop cognitive interest in children, fosters a love for architecture native land and respect for working people. Children learn to compose story pictures from photography, they learn to design from their imagination.

Every year the work becomes more complicated and already in the pre-school period, the children are working on the project “In the World of Architecture”. This project includes three others:
“I Walk Around Moscow”, where students get acquainted with the architecture of Moscow ( Grand Theatre, Historical Museum, Ostankino tower and others). The guys build each object in groups, selecting the color and shape of the parts (given goal: it is necessary to bring the object closer to the original).
Approximate course topics for children 6-7 years old.
Projects:
“I’m walking around Moscow”:
subprojects:
"Big theater"
"Historical Museum"
"Ostankino tower"
Taking into account the age of children, their abilities and cognitive interest, in the seventh year of study work with the Lego WeDo constructor begins. This construction set allows you to develop technical abilities in children. It also fosters perseverance and respect for technology, and the ability to work in groups.
Working with such a constructor is a kind of springboard to studying physics at school. Lego constructors provide great opportunities for conducting classes using computer science elements on topics related to programming. The programming environment for Lego constructors WeDo allows you to visually design programs for robots, i.e. allow the child to literally “touch with his hands” the abstract concepts of computer science embodied in the behavior of a material object (command, system of commands of the performer, algorithm and types of algorithms, program for the performer). The construction of robots remains outside the scope of direct educational activities: children only learn to assemble, with the help of an adult, and program different behavior assembled robots. This allows children to focus their attention on information processing problems. That is, thanks to the accessible program interface, students learn to turn the robot on and off, assign it a varied program of actions, and this allows them to pay great attention to various control algorithms.

Main learning objectives:
All work with the LEGO WeDo constructor is subordinated to the development of cognitive abilities in children and education at every stage of respect for work and working people and prepares them for professional self-determination.
Approbation.
Conclusion:
Project Introduction:“Lego speaks and shows” allowed us to implement many positive ideas - to make learning joyful, to support a sustainable interest in knowledge. The core moment is the activity of the children themselves, when, with the coordination and assistance of the teacher, they observe, compare, classify, group, draw conclusions, and establish cause-and-effect relationships. Children's work with LEGO construction kits allowed them to become more familiar with many aspects of the world around them. LEGO sets are versatile. They can also be used as visual aids that help solve many educational problems.
Purpose of this course: teach children to set problems, put forward ideas, plan the course of a solution, construct models and use them in role-playing games. The best result can be considered when the child independently finds a solution to the problem, constructs and defends his project.
