Introduction

In the lessons of literacy, the Russian language and in entertainment magazines, a word game is often found - rebuses. Puzzles are interesting and useful to solve. They develop figurative thinking, logic, help memorize the spelling of dictionary (unverifiable) words of the Russian language. In English lessons, you also need to memorize words. I would like this activity to become more interesting and easier.

aim Our job is to compose rebuses of English words used in elementary school.
We have delivered the following tasks:

Learn the history of puzzles;

Find out what parts puzzles can be made of, and what rules for their compilation exist;

Pick up English words and compose puzzles for them using various elements and compilation rules;

Prepare a visual aid in the form of rebuses of English words for elementary school.

To achieve our goals, we used the following research methods:

study of articles;

analysis and comparison of words;

We were able to use most of the techniques we learned (See Appendix), but we could not use the rule of relative position of elements, since in English most nouns are used with an article (For example: on the table); failed to compose a rebus with a repeating element. We included all the compiled puzzles in the presentation "Puzzles of English words" and made a collection in printed form.

Conclusion

The goal of our work was achieved: we managed to compose rebuses of English words, using the rules for compiling rebuses of Russian words.

The hypothesis was partially confirmed: we were able to apply most of the techniques in practice, but we could not apply all the techniques known to us.

The work of compiling puzzles is no less exciting and useful activity than solving them.

We hope that the result of our work - the collection "Puzzles of English words" will be useful and interesting for children who are learning English.

A rebus - is a device that uses pictures

to represent words or parts of words.

Rebuses are a type of puzzle in the image of which a word is encrypted.

Even in ancient times, puzzles were used to convey the name of cities

on Greek and Roman coins, or to designate family names

in mediaeval heraldry, and as evocative symbols in architecture.

Unlike a simple riddle, where the basis goes to a verbal description,

rebus also develops logical figurative thinking,

teaches non-standard perception of a graphic image,

and also trains visual memory and spelling.

RULES FOR SOLVING PUZZLES:

On the site:

http://rebus1.com/en/index.php?item=solve - you will find the rules for solving puzzles.

The commas in front of the picture indicate how many letters need to be removed at the beginning of the hidden word,

commas at the end of the picture indicate how many letters to remove from the end of the word.

If a letter is crossed out, it must be removed from the word,

if there is an equal sign, then one letter must be replaced by another.

A rebus is an image of a word or sentence using a combination of numbers, letters, signs, drawings, etc.

1. Cipher "word + word", "object + object" (arm-chair)

2. If a comma is given to the left of the figure or at the top, then this means the first letter is excluded from the word.

If to the right of the picture or below, then the last one. (fox-ox, bear-ear)

If there are 2 commas, we exclude 2 letters accordingly.

3. If 2 objects (letters) are drawn one in the other, then when deciphering the word

add the preposition in: w-in-d, f-in-e.

4. Often items are encrypted in this way:

subject + part of the word and vice versa - part of the word + subject (hat-e, man-y)

5. If there is a letter above the picture, it must be included in the word so

to get one more word: coat-coast, pot-plot

6. If an object is drawn, and a crossed out letter is written next to it,

This means that we exclude this letter when deciphering the word.

If another letter is written above the crossed out letter, then you need to replace the crossed out letter with it.

Students, as a rule, relate to memorizing vocabulary as a boring, monotonous, time-consuming task. This encourages creative teachers to resort to non-traditional methods of work. One of them is the use of puzzles at the stage of fixing previously studied lexical units. It is customary to call a rebus an image of a word or sentence (coding words, phrases) using a combination of drawings (pictures), letters, numbers, signs.

Usually, nouns in the nominative case are encrypted in rebuses, but words of any part of speech can be included - numerals, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, adverbs, prepositions (see examples in the Appendix).

The most common principles for encoding words are as follows:

1. Word + word (object + object): basket + ball, arm + chair, bed + room, book + shelf.

Picture 1	Figure 2

Figure 3

2. Object + part of a word or part of a word + object: t + hat = that, o + pen = open, y + ear = year.

Figure 4	Figure 5	Figure 6

Figure 7	Figure 8	Figure 9

3. Letters are excluded from the name of the depicted object using a comma (s) - if the comma is to the left of the picture, then the first letter (or several letters, if 2-3 commas) should be excluded in the word, if to the right of the picture - then the last (s) )), or other letters are added to replace the crossed out ones: sheep'' = she, 'cup = up, 'house''+ t = out, y +'car + d = yard, w +'nine'+ ten'+ r = winter.

Figure 14	Figure 15	Figure 16

4. Letters (letter combinations, objects) are depicted one on the other (above it, below it), one in the other, next to each other (one letter is “leaning” against the other or they seem to be holding hands), any letter “goes” towards the other (or others), then when reading, respectively, the prepositions 'on', 'under', 'up', 'in', 'at', 'with', 'to' are added: e. g. k-in-d = kind, M-on-day = Monday, to-w-n = town, sk-at-e = skate, am-on-g = among, s-up-per = supper.

5. Numbers are written above the picture (or next to the image), then the letters are read in the order indicated by the numbers: eat (3,1,2) = tea, ear (2,3,1) = are, Kate (3, 2,1,4) = take, net (3,2,1) = ten.

6. The crossed-out letter is excluded when deciphering the word or replaced by another: monkey = money, coat = cat, coast = coat, bag (a = i) = big, hat (t = m) = ham, lake (l = m) = make.

Sometimes students try to make up their own puzzles (See Appendix). Quantitative analysis shows that out of 120 presented puzzles, the largest group is nouns (63), followed by verbs (20), adjectives and adverbs (16), prepositions (9), numerals (6), pronouns (6).

The technique of using puzzles enlivens the work of students in an English lesson, increases their efficiency and allows intensifying the learning process, educates students' interest in the subject and positively affects the emotional state of students. Solving ready-made puzzles and making up their own, students develop ingenuity, imagination, intuition, strengthen memory, firmly mastering the studied lexical material. This is one of the methods of pedagogical skill that allows you to activate the desire of children to learn.
