Today, online games use anagram-solving skills. Of course, such entertainments develop intelligence, make the brain work. But for this, you just need to know what an anagram is. You also need to develop the ability to solve problems of this type. For example, the question “what word can be made up of the letters of the word“ grass ”?”, The answer is “cheesecake”.
What is anagram?
The dictionary says that this is a special literary device based on the rearrangement of letters or sounds inside a word or phrase. The solution of the anagram is the selection of another word (phrase), which includes the same letters. Other functional relationships called anagrams are also seen. For example, the compilation of a word is not from another ready, but from a chaotic set of letters or the birth of pseudonyms. The hero of the work of Antioch Cantemir Hariton Mackentin got his name from the letters of the author, which means that this is also the so-called anagram.
Solving letters permutation tasks - play with benefit
Anyone who has ever tried to solve anagrams will probably agree that this is a very exciting activity. You can start classes with the game of letters from early childhood, only the baby will receive the first reading skills. Of course, explaining to him in detail what an anagram is is not worth it - let it remain a fun game - entertaining, but extremely useful. Moreover, this will instill in the little man a love of the Russian language and interest. It is convenient to use for classes with cubes with the alphabet or “box of letters”, you can make a flannelograph on which to lay out “letter riddles”. Simple words are suggested as didactic material: pine - pump, frame - brand, tank - edging, mainsail - bargaining, sea - rum, tom - mot, sleep - nose, moat - thief, faith - roar.
Using anagrams at school
To make Russian language lessons at school more interesting and fascinating is the dream of every educated teacher. In high school, it already makes sense to explain to students what anagram is. And then you can give the task, rearranging the letters in the proposed words, to reproduce another. Examples of anagrams can be such words: spaniel - orange, hospital - associate, Australopithecus - water polo, vertical - wake, old mode - indissolubility, balance - self-will, attention - Veniamin, redness - senior citizen, colonel - gooseberry. Decoding anagrams can be used in vocabulary work. For example, a teacher offers students four options - these may not be words, but just a random set of letters: arkatel, finshore, bloodthirsty, and slukat. Having solved all these anagrams, the guys will receive the following words: plate, wardrobe, frying pan, pan. They should be written in notebooks, emphasizing an extra word, one that is not included in the general logical chain. If children are given several tasks of a similar subject, then a series of 5-6 words can come out of “extra words”. It is appropriate for the teacher to suggest writing down these words on paper and passing it for verification. Thus, an assessment may appear with a minimum time to verify the correctness of the assignment. Usually, the first ten works are evaluated, because this means that these students figured out the task before all the other guys.
