Every day, preschool educational institutions organize morning exercises. This regime moment passes before breakfast, as soon as the children come to kindergarten.
The results of the medical examination indicate a low percentage of absolutely healthy children and an increase in the number of babies with developmental disabilities or health problems. Weakened immunity causes frequent illnesses. Morning exercises help solve health problems. The first younger group is already capable of performing simple complexes consisting of exercises available to babies.
What is morning exercises for?
During the exercise, several important tasks are solved at once:
- strengthening muscles and bone tissue;
- posture formation;
- activation of the cardiovascular system;
- respiratory development;
- there is a feeling of vivacity, there is an opportunity to shake off drowsiness, to awaken to activity;
- the habit of physical education is formed;
- light hardening occurs.
Three stages of morning exercises
Gymnastics usually consists of three stages. The action begins with drill exercises. They are replaced by movement in a circle, the children walk and run. At the same time, the respiratory system is improving , blood circulation is actively working.
After this, the children go directly to the very complex of general developmental exercises appropriate for age. And after him - to jump or run on the spot. The regimen moment ends with exercises to restore breathing. Sometimes it is used by the choir to read speeches, verses about the exercises done.
Get in order for fun exercises!
The purpose of the introductory part is to set up the child to exercise, to develop orientation skills in space, to improve the types of walking and running. At the appointed time, children are lined up in the gym, carry out simple drill commands, for example, "left", "right", "step forward", "step back" and others. Then they move one after another in a circle. Types of movements may include:
- march;
- a jump;
- gallop;
- On the socks;
- on the heels;
- side step;
- easy run;
- walking with high knees;
- other teams
In the morning gymnastics complexes in the first younger group, as a rule, jumps, gallop and other complex types of movements are not included, but only simple ones that are accessible to children are taken.
The first part of the charge is completed with normal walking in order to restore breathing after running. Then the children are rebuilt to evenly distribute in the hall for general developmental exercises.
How can children be placed?
- in a circle;
- columns;
- subgroups;
- in pairs;
- in rows.
One, two, three, four, five - perform exercises!
The second stage of charging accounts for the bulk of the physical activity. Children knead:
- arms;
- legs;
- shoulder girdle;
- torso.
The exercises include exercises for individual muscle groups and their combinations. For example, legs and torso may be involved at the same time. These actions are especially useful as they develop coordination and involve more parts of the body. Tasks for children are selected so that both the large muscles listed above and the small ones work.
Complexes of morning exercises in the first junior group, of course, will not consist of such a diverse activity. So far, only the simplest movements are available to children. To attract attention, the figurative name of the exercises, the use of attributes, visibility, and speech accompaniment of charging are recommended.
After general developmental exercises, jumps follow. They can be of various types:
- on one or two legs;
- around you;
- cross
- with promotion.
Having jumped, the children need to restore breathing, so it is necessary to perform special exercises to relax and gain calm, to breathe evenly and evenly.
How to complete the charge?
In the final part, the children walk in a circle. Then you can use some kind of sedentary game, as well as emotional moments that emphasize the benefits of charging - verses, songs, chants. “Health is OK - thanks to charging!” - the children cry joyfully, leaving the gym.
Features of the selection of exercises for kids
Complexes of morning exercises in the first younger group should actively engage large muscles. It is important that charging activates the work of all major body systems.
Children of the third year still do not coordinate the actions of the arms, legs and torso, so they may have difficulty in performing exercises. It is difficult for them to repeat the exercise immediately as an adult showed, so they should be allowed to do as they can, not correct their movements. For example, the teacher shows how to reach high, the children tend to reach too, but so far only a semblance of action can turn out. The same goes for slopes and other exercises. Gradually, the child will become more coordinated and master the movements that did not work out right away.
Complexes of morning exercises in the first younger group include exercises from different starting positions:
- Standing on his feet.
- On the knees.
- Sitting on the floor or on a chair.
- Lying on your back or stomach.
- On knees.
- And others.
Using various starting positions, you can remove the excessive load on the children's spine, alternating the work of the main muscle groups. So, morning gymnastics complexes in the first junior group solve the problem of developing good posture.
The task of the educator is to choose movements so that the same muscle group does not work for a long time. Alternation will make the whole body work.
Benefits and attributes for charging
Gymnastics for the first younger group may include actions with objects:
- cubes;
- handkerchiefs;
- chopsticks;
- flags
- ribbons;
- ringlets.
When small toys or attributes are used for general developmental exercises, additional muscle tension is created. In addition, children enthusiastically perform movements, rejoicing at the toy. The change of objects allows you to keep interest and makes it possible to work out the same movement. This does not cause monotony. Children raise a handkerchief, in the next complex - they knock cubes over their heads, in another - they stretch their palm to the sun. Attributes are changing - the movement is improving. This is better than just asking the children to raise their hands up at the expense.
Items can be used for cognitive development. Children will learn what a ball is, a checkbox, how to keep them, what color they are, what shape, and so on.
Our fingers played
To develop the fine motor skills of children, teachers often use finger gymnastics. The first junior group also includes this element. It is introduced into classes, walks and other regime moments. Small recitations, accompanied by movements of the fingers and hands, help children to improve fine motor skills in a playful way. In addition, finger gymnastics improves thinking and speech. Movements increase the activity of the cerebral cortex, speech and motor centers are activated, which contributes to their development.
During the performance of finger games and exercises, the child:
- Learns to understand speech;
- develops fine motor skills;
- improves thinking;
- plays fun.
Morning gymnastics in the garden is a powerful means of healing children. It is especially important in the first younger group, when the formation of thinking and speech is still taking place , a habit of an active lifestyle, physical education is created. It is very important to observe all the basic principles of building a charge so that it can develop children, and not harm their fragile organisms.
