What is finger gymnastics for?

Let's summarize how much useful things we do by playing finger games. Finger gymnastics:

1. Develops speech.

Exercising and rhythmically moving his fingers, the baby activates the speech centers of the brain.

2. Develops the baby's ability to imitate us adults teaches to listen to our speech and understand it, increases speech activitycrumbs, and justcreates a favorable emotional atmosphere.

3. Teaches the child concentrate attention and distribute it correctly.

This is a very, very important skill! And we, educators, need to help the baby to shape it. By the way, a child will be able to learn to arbitrarily control his attention only by the age of 6-7 years. And his school success will largely depend on this skill.

4. When the baby starts to speak and is able to accompany the exercise from finger gymnastics with verses, this will do itspeech is clearer, more rhythmic, brighter... This way he canincrease control over your movements.

5.In finger games ah you need to memorize a lot: the position of the fingers, and the sequence of movements, and just poetry. Here's a great fun exercise for!

6. Is it possible with the help of finger gamesdevelop fantasy and imagination? Certainly! After all, you can “tell” whole stories with your hands! First, the teacher will show an example, and only then the child can compose his own "finger stories".

7. Finally, after all these exerciseshands and fingers will become strong, mobile, flexible... And this will help in the future inmastering writing skills!

How much and how often do you need to do finger gymnastics?

Any exercise is only effective if you do it regularly. So finger games will bring an effect with daily exercises (!) For 5 minutes.

By the way, what do you think -do i need to constantly change gamesto keep them interested?

Or is it enough to play your favorites?

You've most likely noticed that babies like to repeat the same movement, procedure, or action.

This is a learning mechanism. The child will repeat it over and over in order to gain a foothold in the skill. And the more difficult the skill, the longer the repetition will take. This is a little later, at an older age, it will be required to constantly diversify the games.

Why do I come back to the topic of finger games over and over again, why so many of them? Maybe then a few favorite ones are enough?

The fact is that finger games can be divided into several types:

1. Exercises for the hands.

Examples of such games are games from the “10 Simplest Finger Games That Will Entertain Your Child in Traffic or in Line”.

Such games are quite simple and do not require subtle differentiated movements. Therefore, they are suitable for the little ones, you can start with them. In addition, gymnastics with these games:

Teaches kids to repeat after us adults. That is, it develops imitative ability. It is this ability that is the basis for successful subsequent training in all skills;

Teaches you to strain and relax your muscles;

Develops the ability to maintain the position of the fingers for a while;

Teaches you to switch from one movement to another.

2. Finger exercises are conventionally static.

These games improve the skills acquired earlier at a higher level. More complex ones require more precise movements. By the way, it is precisely using these exercises (after mastering them) that you can compose your most wonderful and incredible stories and stories.

3. Finger exercises are dynamic.

Develop precise coordination of movements;

Learn to bend and unbend the fingers;

They teach to oppose the thumb to the rest.

And I hope that the information received will help you to regulate the "difficulty" of games for the child, as well as find "favorite" games of different types.

The palms and fingers are the most important parts of a child's body. With the help of the limbs, the baby holds various subjects, learns to count, plays. Finger movements and finger gymnastics develop fine motor skills of the hands. Developmental gymnastics plays an important role in the development of children's fingers.

Finger Exercise Benefits

Babies who have well-developed fine motor skills of the hands quickly master various skills in Everyday life: they hold a spoon correctly, draw with crayons, pencils, and then learn to hold a pen and write correctly. They easily manage to button their own clothes or tie the laces on their shoes. Playing with their fingers at the age of two to three years, children actively develop their speech, quick reaction to what is happening and creative thinking train memory. During such games, you can read small rhymes, nursery rhymes, tongue twisters, counting rhymes, listen to your favorite music, which in the early stages of development forms a sense of rhythm and ear for music in children. All these skills and habits will come in handy for your baby in the future. Since all the older members of the family can take part in the games, this will bring the baby closer to his family and help to establish close contact. Children become contented, cheerful and calm.

It develops not only fine motor skills of the limbs, but also stimulates the brain activity in children. It is very important to carry out finger activities with babies, from birth to 3 years old. During this period, the child learns to think, and then talk. Initially, adults themselves massage the baby's hands and fingers, rubbing and stroking them, thereby sending the necessary impulses to the speech centers of the brain. There is an opinion that the more a child's hand is developed, the easier it will be for him to master the curriculum. primary grades at school.

How to start finger gymnastics classes?

It is necessary to start finger gymnastics gradually, first using one hand of the baby, and then the other. You need to warm up your palms baby's lungs massage movements, then clap your hands with him, and only then proceed to the basic exercises. Repeat poems, tongue twisters, counting rhymes several times, slowly connecting the child to the game. You can use books with vivid illustrations of animals, toys, etc., attracting the child's attention, showing pictures and asking simple questions along the way. This process should be accompanied by characteristic sounds and movements. It is necessary to conduct classes with the baby regularly, every day, giving this from 10 to 20 minutes 2 to 3 times. As the child grows up, exercises should become more complicated, supplemented and modified.

Play exercises

Warm up

With both of the baby's hands, squeeze and unclench the fingers at the same time. It is advisable to do this to the rhythms of the musical accompaniment.

Family

Starting with the thumb, bend all the fingers of the hand one by one, listing family members. When a cam is formed, cover it with the palm of your other hand.

Naughty

Convict a funny nursery rhyme by drawing circles on a child's palm with your finger. Then we bend each finger in turn. At the end of the exercise, take the little finger with the fingers of the other hand and slowly swing it to the sides.

Fan

Relax the fingers of both hands. Bring them to your face and slowly shake them, depicting a fan with your palms.

Swing

First, the exercise is performed with each hand separately, and then synchronously with both hands. Close and straighten all fingers on your hands, lift up. Then we slightly bend the fingers and smoothly lower them down.

Little brothers

We take the baby's palms into our own hands and alternately bend the fingers in this order: little finger, ring finger, middle finger, index finger and thumb. In the process, we lightly stroke and massage children's fingers.

Bunny

The kid jumps slightly, hiding both arms behind his back. Then he shows with his finger where the bunny has a nose, ears, paws - shows his palms. And skipping spins around its axis.

Hen on a walk

On the surface of the table, with two fingers - the middle and forefinger, we make movements in the form of steps. Then, with all the fingers of your hands, perform pinching manipulations, like a chicken pinching grass. All fingers of the hands run along the surface. Make rhythmic claps of your hands, threatening finger movements. After that, with two fingers of the hand, the child makes movements as if collecting grains.

Pure water

The child makes movements with his hands, as if washing his face, stroking his cheeks, rubbing his ears. Then, with a little effort, he rubs with his palms.

Cat paws

Put the clenched palms into fists on the table in front of you. Straighten your fingers and scratch the surface with scratching movements. Repeat the exercise several times in a row.

Hedgehog

Straighten your palm and press your fingers to it, as if a hedgehog removes needles, then sharply straighten your fingers - he showed the needles.

Birds

Cross the baby's arms in the wrist area, straightening and relaxing the fingers. Raise and lower your arms, waving your fingers like wings. We collect the fingers of one hand into a pinch and slightly wiggle them, we sort them out - we feed the birds. We drum on the table with the fingers of both hands - the birds peck at the grain. We cross our arms again at the wrist and wave with straightened fingers - the birds fly away. We repeat the exercises several times.

Drum

This game is recommended to be played with a group of children. Sit them around the table. Have all the children place their pens on the table. Show kids how to drum with their fingers on a flat surface. First, let them tap with straightened index fingers, and then with all fingers of both hands at the same time. Offer to knock on the table, competing who is louder. Then you can diversify this game with additional movements, changing their volume and rhythm.

Lock

Put your hands in front of you on the table, connecting your fingers in a lock. Knock on the table with the lock. Make circular motions in front of you without opening your fingers. Twist the hands in the same position, pull the lock first to the right and then to the left. Open your fingers.

Doing finger gymnastics with a child aged 2 to 3 years, adults instill useful skills in him, broaden his horizons, and stimulate brain activity. In addition, daily close communication with the baby will bring many pleasant minutes, calm and amuse the child. Each adult member of the family can come up with new movements, songs, rhymes and counting rhymes for classes.

Finger gymnastics: how to determine the level of development fine motor skills for a child, finger exercises in pictures and poetry, Maria Montessori exercises, shadow finger theater.

Finger gymnastics for children preschool age.

Finger gymnastics very useful for children of any age. Primary school teachers constantly point out that for many children, the greatest problem in learning is not the inability to read or the lack of knowledge of the basics of arithmetic, namely, the unpreparedness of the hand for writing. What are the reasons for the graphic unpreparedness for learning to write? There are two such reasons:

1. Insufficient development of small muscles of the hand and nervous regulation of fine motor skills ("physiological unpreparedness" for learning to write).
2. Inadequacy of the skill of performing graphic movements ("psychological unpreparedness" for learning to write).

Both of these difficulties can be prevented by engaging in finger gymnastics with children from the age of 3 and doing special exercises, as well as as actively as possible to involve the baby in making crafts (drawing, applique, artistic work, modeling), in household work (embroidery with a thick needle, knitting and weaving for girls, making crafts from wood and natural materials, bars, packs for boys).

How to determine the level of development of fine motor skills of hands in children: diagnosis. Three simple tests.

This does not require any complex manuals or items. And it will take very little time. I want to talk about three simple tests to diagnose the level of fine motor development that can be done with older preschool children both at home and in kindergarten, and in children's center(the authors of the tests - NV Nizhegorodtseva, VD Shadrikov. Psychological and pedagogical readiness of the child for school - Vlados, 2001).

Test 1.

The child is sitting at the table. Take big leaf paper and ask the child to put his hands so that both palms with divorced fingers fit on the sheet of paper. Trace the palms on the paper with a pencil. Take a look at what you have done together. And ask the child to put their palms on the paper again so that all the lines match.

Explain the assignment. Invite your toddler to play with their fingers. Say: “I will show you the fingers on your hand, and you will only lift the finger that I show. You don’t need to lift your other fingers. ” Try it - ask the kid to raise his finger: "Lift this one." Make sure he understands the assignment correctly.

Now we start the test. Start with your right hand: “Pick up this finger. And now this one. " The sequence of movements: 5-1-2-4-3 (where 1 is the thumb and 5 is the little finger). Then, in the same sequence, do the task on the left hand. Then repeat on the right. And again on the left. Thus, each hand will complete the task twice!

And now the main thing is what to watch out for when performing this task. When the baby tries to lift one finger, others will involuntarily rise. He doesn't want it, but he does it! These extra movements are called synkinesis. Such unnecessary movements occur when the movements of the fingers are not sufficiently differentiated, and therefore muscles that are unnecessary for this are turned on.

When you see synkinesis, then draw each of them with an arrow on paper, drawing a line from the desired finger to the "unnecessary, extra" for this movement.

As a result, on paper, by the end of the task you will have the outlines of the palms and drawn lines of unnecessary movements. One extra movement is one arrow.

How to find out the test results:

1) We calculate the average number of arrows for each hand, i.e. the average amount of unnecessary movements. For example, we have 6 arrows drawn on our right palm, and we carried out the task twice. Therefore, 6: 2 = 3. That is, the average number of extra finger movements on the right hand is 3.

Similarly, we count the extra movements with the fingers on the left hand - for example, we have drawn 8 arrows. 8: 2 = 4. The average number of unnecessary movements is 4.

2) Add up the resulting numbers. 3 (on the right hand) + 4 (on the left hand) = 7.

What these results tell us:

• What is the child's leading hand. The leading hand is the hand where the differentiation of finger movements is better developed, and where there are fewer unnecessary finger movements. In our example, this is the right hand.
• What is the level of development of fine movements and their differentiation in a child. Approximate age norms(total average number of extra movements): at 6 years old - 9, at 7 years old - 6, at 8 years old - 5, at 9 years old - 3. For our example: we got the number 7. For a six-year-old child, this is a good result. But if the child was already 7 years old, then the result is too low, i.e. in this child, the movements of the fingers are insufficiently developed.

Now it is probably clear why children who learn to play the piano and other musical instruments are often much more developed than their peers? After all, they exercise constantly and in fact constantly do finger gymnastics 🙂 and thus develop not only their own musical ability, but also fine motor skills, and sensorimotor coordination, and thinking!

Test 2.

Draw an even circle 3-3.5 cm in diameter on a piece of paper with a pencil by hand. Show your pattern to your child. Ask your child to draw the same circle with one hand movement (i.e., without taking off).

If the baby has poorly developed fine motor skills, then he cannot complete the task. Typical mistakes:

• Draws an oval.
• Draws a circle, but much smaller than the sample. This is an indicator of hand stiffness.
• Draws with a detachment of the hand, moving it.

Test 3.

Observing the drawing and painting of the coloring pages. Coloring pictures is considered to be a very good finger exercise. But this is not always the case. For coloring to develop fine motor skills, the child must act correctly. pay attention to typical mistakes, which indicate an insufficient level of development of fine motor skills and that the baby needs a special finger gymnastics and finger exercises.

Typical mistakes in coloring:

• The child constantly turns a sheet of paper or a book when coloring a picture.
• The child cannot change the direction of the lines.
• The child's movements are constrained, the hand is fixed and often squeezed.
• The hand and fingers are too sluggish or too tense.

Finger gymnastics - a description of the exercises.

Finger gymnastics can be carried out both without objects and with small objects.

Finger gymnastics: games with clothespins.

Clothespin games develop the strength of the hands, correlating movements. Learning to use clothespins when playing games is not very easy for a child. Therefore, you need to go in small steps in a specific sequence.

• First, attach the clothespins to the edge of the toy bucket or box and teach your toddler to remove them by pressing the end of the clothespin with two fingers at the same time. Ask to “help mom put together the clothespins” and praise your baby for helping. Remember that detaching clothespins is always easier than attaching them. Therefore, it is necessary to start with just such finger gymnastics exercises.
• Then show your baby how the clothespins open their mouth. Tell her to press hard on the clothespin to open her mouth. You can call the clothespins "crocodiles" and show how our crocodiles strongly open their mouths.
• If the baby is already able to press the clothespin with the necessary force and open and close it, then show other exercises with clothespins and include them in finger gymnastics.

Exercise options with clothespins for the development of fingers:

• Attach clothespins to the yellow cardboard circle. The sun will turn out.
• Attach the needles to the gray semicircle. Get thorns for a hedgehog.
• Attach clothespins to a narrow, long triangle. You will get the branches of a tree.
• Attach the doll clothes to the string with clothespins after washing them.
• Attach four clothespins to the boy's silhouette (the clothespins will be his arms and legs)
• Sort clothespins by color, attaching them at the top to the walls of buckets or boxes different colors(yellow clothespins to yellow box, red to red)
• Build a "fence" of clothespins, attaching them to a bucket or to a cardboard strip. You can give the task to alternate clothespins in the fence in a certain sequence so that it turns out beautiful and bright.
• Two white clothespins can be "ears" at the silhouette of a bunny (we give the baby a silhouette of a bunny without ears, and he attaches the clothespins - ears with his fingers). Blue clothespins can become raindrops at a cloud (attached at the bottom of a cloud), yellow clothespins can become a fin and a tail of a goldfish (attached to a silhouette of a fish) or a tail of a bird (attached to a silhouette of a bird without a tail). If you attach clothespins to a circle, you get a flower. And if you attach it to a red circle with black dots - an image of a ladybug, then her legs are obtained from clothespins.

When the baby gets used to the simplest finger gymnastics exercises with clothespins, you can give a more difficult task, which requires quick wits and orientation in space.

Stick on clothespins images of different insects (birds, animals) - depending on the topic of the lesson. Ask your toddler to attach clothespins to the edge of a plastic glass or bucket so that all of our characters (for example, insects) are outside the bucket. Attach a clothespin yourself and say: “The sun came out, wanted butterflies, beetles, ladybugs bask in the sun. Make all the insects sit outside the bucket. " In this case, you must not twist the glass! And you can't move around the glass yourself. Not all kids quickly figure out how this can be done.

Then, after a few days, give a similar task to make sure that all the insects sit inside the bucket (for example, hide from the bird).

Finger exercises: dialogues

More complex finger gymnastics exercises with clothespins are dialogues in which you need to simultaneously speak and act with a clothespin. With the help of clothespins, you can portray different characters who are talking to each other, and open the clothespins 'mouth' to the rhythm of the dialogue.

You can stick circles with a character image on clothespins for such games, but this is not at all necessary. I recommend using reusable pictures that are easy to change. I fix them with UNU patafix plastic (sold in stationery and hardware stores, hobby centers). This is very convenient: you can always attach the desired picture made of cardboard for one game, and then, after the game, remove it on the same clothespin.

For such finger gymnastics exercises are used verses with dialogues and short stories with dialogues.

Clothespin games and literacy training.

Children 5-7 years old can use clothespins to compose thematic series of words. In tasks of this type, finger gymnastics is combined with the solution of a number of other problems. For example, compose a series of words on the topic "transport". One clothespin is one word. Clothespins are attached one after the other by the tip to one another. The task is to make as long a series of words as possible. You can make rows of words starting with one sound (who has a longer track?) Or words from a certain number of syllables.

Using colored clothespins, you can also come up with words with a given syllable. For example, the first clothespin white- this is the syllable "by". If the kid came up with a word that begins with the syllable "by", then he makes up a syllabic scheme of such a word with the help of clothespins. For example, if you attach the following clothespin to a white clothespin "by" at its end - the syllable "walked", you get a chain of two clothespins and the word "went". If you attach two more clothespins to the white clothespin "po", you get a word of three syllables "dishes" (po + su + yes). The task is to make as many such chains as possible

You can also play games with sounds using clothespins. Then a picture is attached to the clothespin. For example, forty. What sound does the word "magpie" start with? That's right, from the sound with (solid consonant sound). And this our forty - a clothespin will "grab" the cards on which are depicted objects starting with the sound "s" (cheese, lettuce, sun, drying) and take them to their "nest". And the child chooses the right ones from all the pictures - with a given sound. Accordingly, "fox" will take pictures with a soft sound "l", and a wolf with a hard consonant sound c.

Exercises for the fingers of Maria Montessori.

Maria Montessori's games and exercises are now very popular, although they are more than a century old. Much attention in the Montessori system is paid motor development kids and specifically the development of fine motor skills. These finger exercises- in fact, the history of finger gymnastics is where it all began. Maria Montessori's system includes both exercises with special toys and objects, and everyday activities in everyday life - such as cleaning shoes, washing tables, watering flowers, cleaning metal objects(open a bottle with a cleaning agent, pour into a cup, close the bottle, clean the object with cotton wool, rub it to a shine with a polishing cloth).

Here I want to talk about several exercises for the development of fine motor skills from the Maria Montessori system.

1) Frames with clasps. A wooden frame is made, which is covered with a fabric of two halves. You need to match these halves and fasten the clasp. A part of the fastener is sewn to each half. Types of fasteners on frames:

a) large buttons,
b) small buttons,
c) buttons,
d) bows,
e) lace that fits into the holes,
f) a lace that is wound on a hook,
g) hooks and loops,
h) strap fasteners,
i) Velcro fasteners.

2) Probing board (texture: large - small).

A box is taken with 10 boards of size 10 by 9 cm, pasted over with emery rough paper of various five types of texture from coarse-grained to fine-grained (five pairs of the same type of paper). The child's eyes are covered with a bandage. He is looking for a pair by touch. For the first games, you need to take 2-3 pairs of boards, in the future, increase their number.

You can also arrange five planks in a row from the coarsest grain to the finest grain.

3) A drawer with pieces of tissue.

Material: In the box there are pairs of pieces of fabric of different texture (silk, wool, cotton, artificial fiber; smooth and rough; hard and soft; thick and thin; strong, dense and loose. The task is to choose the same piece of fabric (find a pair).

How the exercise is performed: Mode of action - feeling with thumb and forefinger. The exercise is performed with closed eyes.

After the exercise: The kid examines the exercises and the fabrics around him - the textiles in the room, the fabrics of his clothes - what they are (smooth or rough, thick or thin).

4) Embroidery on cardboard ... You will need thick cardboard sheets on which the outlines of the items for embroidery are drawn. Use dots on the cardboard to mark the places where the needle should be punctured. You also need woolen thread and a thick carpet needle.

First, an adult helps the baby to make a knot, insert a thread into a needle, and make the first stitches. It is better to take the first steps hand in hand, then when the child is comfortable, you can release his hand. The exercise is difficult for children, but very useful.

Never throw away such embroidery of babies, appreciate them, find a use for them at home (use as bookmarks, coasters, postcards), because they are not very easy for a child!

5) Box with seeds. The large compartment of the box contains seeds of various plants (pumpkin, sunflower, nasturtium, watermelon, melon, and others). Pictures of these plants are attached in small compartments. The child sorts the seeds into the desired small compartments of the box. In this exercise, the baby not only exercises in sorting and develops fine motor skills, but also gets to know the plants - what are they called, how they differ from each other, what seeds they have.

6) Exercise with water.

• Pouring from the teapot into a cup.
• Pouring water into a bottle with a narrow neck using a funnel.
• Watering flowers from a watering can
• Rubbing the flower leaves with a sponge dampened with water (for example, ficus leaves).
• Washing the table with soap, sponge and brush (dirty places are wiped with a brush)
• Squeezing the sponge after washing the table or wiping the leaves of plants.
• Beating the foam with a whisk (pour a little liquid soap, and it is whipped into a fluffy lather).
• Washing doll linen and doll clothes, wringing and hanging to dry on a string with clothespins.

These exercises involve a clear sequence of actions and step by step instructions an adult. They are not carried out in isolation, but are part of the entire system of child development. Their main principle is “help me do it myself”.

Stages of finger gymnastics exercises:

Stage 1. First, finger gymnastics exercises are performed with the baby, which help to learn the names of the fingers, teach them to navigate in space - right, left, up, down. These are exercises without words, without dialogues. But this does not mean that the adult is silent during their conduct and only shows the necessary actions. On the contrary, he names the figure (“let's make an elephant”), all the fingers and their location (for example, “show your index finger, put it on the table”, “where is your right hand? Raise the middle finger of your right hand up. Well done!” ). During games and exercises, we use short rhymes and nursery rhymes about the object or animal that we are depicting.

Stage 2. After that, you can use more complex for children, but also more interesting for them finger gymnastics games with dialogues, fairy tales with dialogues, depicting objects and characters with the help of hands. You can compose such tales yourself with your children. Below I will talk about some finger exercises and figures for such games and fairy tales.

Finger gymnastics exercises. You will find pictures for them below:

• Bunny. The index and middle fingers are straight up (these are "ears"), the rest are clenched into a fist.
• The bunny plays the drum: the starting position is the same. We take out the drum - we straighten the thumb, it is parallel to the table. With the ring finger and little finger (these are "paws"), the bunny beats on the drum (on the pad of the thumb). The main thing is that exactly the right toes - "paws", knock, and the "ears" at this time continued to stick up. This is difficult enough. But children always laugh when I say to them: “Oh, and someone's hare's ears began to drum! No, drumming with paws, bunny. Take care of your ears, they will still be useful to you! "
• Goat. The index and little fingers are straightened (horns), the ring finger and middle finger are bent. The thumb rests on them.
• The goat is running. The palm is parallel to the table. The index finger and little finger are straightened and parallel to the table (the horns "look" forward). The middle, thumb and ring fingers are on the table (these are the legs). The goat walks, stepping first with its front legs, then with its hind legs (their role is played by one thumb). It is important that the goat's horns do not touch the ground while walking. The exercise is very funny and the kids love it. It is not easy for them. But the guys always laugh a lot when one of them has "the horns running on the ground" and quickly correct the mistake.
• Little man. The index and middle fingers "walk" on the table.
• Baby elephant. The palm is parallel to the table. The middle finger is a trunk, it "looks forward" and is parallel to the table. The little finger and thumb are pressed to the palm of the hand (with the thumb resting on the little finger). The index and ring fingers "walk" on the table.
• Glasses. Fold the thumb and forefinger of each hand into rings. All other fingers are straight and facing up. Bring glasses to your eyes and look into them.
• Start the engine. Clasp all fingers except the thumb into the lock. At the signal of an adult "Motor!" thumbs start spinning around each other (start the engine). At the same time, the baby says some kind of sound (for example, zhzhzhzhzhzh or rrrrrr). The motor spins for as long as the sound lasts. The task is to "drive" as long as possible, i.e. speak sound. The exercise develops not only fine motor skills, but also speech breathing and allows you to automate the pronunciation of the desired sound.

Here are approximate figures that can be depicted using fingers in dialogues and fairy tales.

Finger gymnastics - finger riddles.

Play finger riddles with the children. You show the figure with your fingers, and they guess what kind of object it is and repeat your movement. First, you show the figures, and then the children. You can come up with your own figures. The figures should be understandable and recognizable by children.

Here are some more finger shapes for these puzzle games.

Finger gymnastics is a shadow finger theater.

Very useful for the development of fine motor skills and shadow finger theater. The figure at the beginning of the article and below shows figure diagrams that can be used to show fairy tales in such a theater.

Finger Exercises - Some Helpful Ideas

from the winners of the contest of our Internet Workshop of developing games "Through the game - to success!"

Tatiana Smirnova.

1. Game "Spiral" for the development of fine motor skills and tactile sensations.

The game "Spiral" is a competitive game - whose butterfly gets to the flower first. “It doesn’t crawl and doesn’t run - it is circling over the flower. After the coil there is a coil - so I sat on a flower! " Tatiana took the idea of ​​this game from the book "Speech therapy ball games" by T.A. Vorobieva and O.I. Krupenchuk.

The game is made of chintz with padding polyester. Spiral - out woolen thread crochet. The flower and the butterfly are made of oilcloth and decorated with buttons and beads. You can roll the ball in a spiral with different fingers.

2. Benefit - a track with removable letters.

Rolling the ball, the child reads words in one direction or the other. Examples of words: Cossack flood, madam, lump, order, stomp, income.

Maria Tragaryuk. Vegetable garden.

Sculpting is an activity that develops fingers very well. This is what Maria and her daughter made of self-hardening plastic. The layout is a vegetable garden for games.

If you need this article, it is interesting and useful, I will be very grateful if you share your opinion in the comments. And I also invite you to tell us about your experience in the comments. How do you develop the fine motor skills of children? Did you do this on purpose? What kind of games and exercises do you like and love your baby most of all?

Finger gymnastics for children 1.5-3 years old (exercises)

Bura Olga Alexandrovna, teacher-psychologist.
Place of work: MADOU kindergarten number 18, the city of Chelyabinsk.
Material description: I offer you finger gymnastics for children 1.5-3 years old. This material will be useful for both educational psychologists and educators. early groups development or parents. This material is aimed not only at the development of fine motor skills, coordination of movements, memory, attention, but also as a great way to distract and amuse a child, because at the heart of every game is a nursery rhyme or a poem. And if there are many children in the family, finger gymnastics often becomes the favorite game of seniors with younger ones.

At the age of 1.5-2 years, all the movements in finger games for the child are done by you, and he is a passive participant in the game. For finger games, you need to "catch" the moment when the child is not too excited, but not too relaxed. For playing with fingers and top body, you need to put the child on your knees to yourself, pressing the child's back to your belly.
At the first games, the child, if he has no experience, can fight back and try to leave. It is not necessary to hold by force, eliminate, if possible, the reason for the refusal (it is inconvenient to sit, wants to go to the toilet, etc.) or change the game. Wait for a moment when the baby is more relaxed, for example, after feeding or bathing. The best thing is to set aside a certain time every day for finger games, as a result of which such games will become the same routine for the child as bathing or brushing teeth.
Getting started, you should remember the following principles of conducting classes:
- Before playing with your child, rub and stroke their hands a little to create the necessary emotional mood.
- After choosing two or three exercises, gradually replace them with new ones. You can leave your favorite games in your repertoire and return to them at the request of the kid.
- With numerous games, children often begin to pronounce the text partially (especially the beginning and end of phrases). Gradually, the text is learned by heart, children pronounce it entirely, correlating words with movement. Encourage children to sing along, “don't notice” if they do something wrong at first, encourage success.
- Up to 2.5 years old, a child can not yet reproduce the movements himself without numerous trainings.
- If the child insists on the same game, give in to him. Children tend to repeat the same action to reinforce it.
Preparation games.
If the child has not been regularly engaged in finger games since birth, often the child is not allowed to play finger games at first. This is understandable, since the child's arm muscles are underdeveloped, and when exposed to the active points of the palm, the child experiences unusual sensations, from which he tries to evade. Therefore, the first games are focused on learning to lightly stroke, rub and knead the brush. Approach these exercises as fun game... Do not use to calm down a child in hysterics - then a stable aversion to finger games can gain a foothold.
Fingers wake up
Fingers got up in the morning - little boys,
They were delighted to each other, They began to say hello.
Hello finger, hello finger….
(alternate contact of the child's thumb with the tips of the other fingers of the same hand)
Mice hid
(We take the child's fist in our fist, as if hugging the child's fist tightly from above. On the first 2 lines we gently turn the child’s fist clockwise. To the words “walk” - let go of the child’s hand, help him spread his fingers and move them. again ", quickly collect the child's hand again in our fist-mink)

the circle is all kids. (we put - tickle with a dot in the middle)
Primary games:
Primary games are focused on simple touching of fingers, stroking adult fingers and hands, simple circular movements inside the palm clockwise and counterclockwise. Thus, we activate the points associated with the speech areas of the brain. Everything is done by the mother, controlling the hands of the child.
Gradually, we complicate the games a little, not just touching and operating with the child's fingers, but quickly massaging the finger from the base of the finger to the pad.
Fidget
(analogue to the well-known magpie-crow)

Use whole body games at the same time as finger games.
The examples of games below are related to the techniques of body therapy, their effect is similar to massage, but a big plus is that there is a combination of physical impact and expansion of vocabulary.
Please note that full body games cannot be performed immediately after a meal!

(educational game, good for learning the names of body parts, and also as a mini-massage. Better if the child lies on his back or stomach).

Painted animals
