Salki
The game "Tag" is designed to develop speed and dexterity.
Location. Hall (platform).
Description of the game. A playing area is determined (for example, one half of a volleyball court). The driver is determined. At the teacher’s command, the driver tries to catch up and touch (smear) all the other players with his hand as quickly as possible. The teacher times the time. After all the players have been named, the driver is told his time (which he remembers) and the next driver is assigned. The game is repeated until all players are the driver. The player whose time is the shortest wins.
Rules.
- The upset player immediately leaves the playing area.
- Players are prohibited from stepping beyond the boundary lines of the playing area. When a player makes a stand, he is considered to have been greased and leaves the game.
Methodical instructions. Depending on the specific objectives of the lesson (development of speed endurance, development of speed, etc.) and the number of students, you can use playing areas of different sizes for the game, and repeat the game several times in a row. In addition, you can vary the method of movement: running, side step, jumping on one leg, etc.
Name your profession
For this competition you need to prepare appropriate pictures in advance. The presenter takes turns showing a certain combination of pictures, and the children guess the profession from these pictures. Whoever guessed it raises their hand and answers, for the correct answer they get a point, and whoever has the most points in the end gets a prize. And examples of pictures can be absolutely anything: brick, concrete mixer and trowel (builder); microphone and stage (singer); stethoscope and white coat (doctor); handcuffs and police cap (policeman); broom and trash can (janitor); scissors and hair (hairdresser); pots and white cap (cook) and so on.
Commemorative drawing
The guys are divided into small teams of about 3-5 people. Each team receives a large sheet of paper and pencils (markers). The presenter shows a bright and colorful drawing to the children for a minute (absolutely any picture that depicts many different objects). Then the presenter closes the drawing and gives the “start” command, according to which the children must reproduce the picture on their piece of paper within a certain time, for example, 5 minutes. The team whose members can display the picture they saw as accurately as possible will win.
Fishermen and fish
The game is suitable for children of primary school and preschool age and promotes the development of dexterity, speed and endurance.
Location. Gym (corridor, games room).
Preparing for the game. A leading player (“fisherman”) is selected and a playing area is outlined (for example, half of a volleyball court). The remaining players are the fish.
Description of the game. As soon as the teacher gives the command, the “fisherman” begins to catch up with any player and tries to touch him (to touch him). As soon as the player is caught, he and the driver form a “fishing net” (they hold hands) and try to catch up with the other players (“fish”), moving as a pair without separating their hands. Having caught up with the next “fish”, they attach it to the “fishing net” and the three of them catch up, holding hands with all three. Thus, as soon as the next player is defeated, there are one fewer “fish”, and the “net” becomes one player longer. You can end the game when all the “fish” are caught, or when only one “fish” remains, which is declared the winner of the game.
Rule. It is prohibited to let go of your hands during the game (break the “net”). If a player is caught when the net is broken, he remains a “fish”.
You can play several times in a row, changing the size of the playing area and the playing time. In accordance with the objectives of the lesson, the coach can change the direction of the game, focusing, for example, on the development of endurance, or on the development of other motor qualities.
Features of development of children 3–6 years old
The child develops at an incredible speed, and every year he becomes interested in something new.
- At 3 years old he wants to do everything himself. This is a time of independence that needs to be respected and cherished, because it allows the child to feel like a young man. Choose games in which the child can do something himself, decide, invent, choose. And the parents’ task is not to interfere if the child wants to act independently, and to help if he asks for help.
- At 4 years old, the baby develops spatial thinking, and his speech already becomes adult. This is the time of labyrinths and puzzles, the simplest board games or games with cards. At this age you need to sculpt, build, fantasize.
- At the age of 5 you can already write books and build big castles. The child develops his own hobbies, and adults should support them and follow them in play.
- At the age of 6, children become familiar with letters, numbers, first reading of syllables, and first examples. But no study - just play! At the same time, it is important that the child does not find it difficult or boring.
