Development of the child directly depends on parents. It concerns both physical, and moral qualities. The finger-type gymnastics just unites both of these requirements. And all because brain activity directly depends on fine motor skills. Besides such occupations do not demand a lot of time and efforts, and the playful way will make them cheerful and interesting even for the smallest. We learn about it more.
In what advantage of finger-type gymnastics for the child
Massage is useful to small that it helps to disperse blood and to intensify the nervous terminations. It concerns also massage of fingers of hands and legs. Plus, such sports games develop fine motor skills. The purpose of similar occupations is to acquaint the kid with fingers, to show how they can be moved. For more adults it is an opportunity to switch attention, to have a rest and learn to concentrate on details.
Important! Turn a training into a game — sing, you speak with different intonations. So kids will better perceive occupation and will not begin to miss. Especially it concerns active children about one year — they seldom want to sit in place.
When occupations are followed by rhymes, tongue twisters, it helps to develop the speech, to improve pronunciation of sounds, to train memory and attention. Plus, after systematic a fizkultminutok children will know elementary verses and songs.
Occupations are passive and active. The first look means work of adults on fingers and hands of the kid — stroking, bending and extension. The second option suits children who already can repeat movements after parents.
If your child goes to school soon, and the speech did not get better, read as to the child to cope with pronunciation of a sound р, where to find the good logopedist and how to choose the good logopedist.
Rules of training
That occupations brought joy and were effective, it is necessary to follow several rules:
- do not force to work the tired kid, especially if he not in mood (wants to sleep, eat, creep);
- before each occupation warn about its beginning — stroke slowly handles and tell that now there will be games;
- you do not hurry, do everything slowly, and repeat each exercise not less than 5 times;
- alternate hands, and then try to do exercise along with two;
- you speak quiet tone, accurately and surely, change intonations;
- after each exercise stir up slightly brushes, showing that this game ended;
- you look at reaction of the child — repeat more often games which are pleasant to him, and unloved postpone for some time;
- you praise the kid for the correct movements, pronunciations of sounds;
- for more adult children it is necessary to set an example — periodically do exercises and suggest to join.
It is necessary to work with fine motor skills every day. Let it will be once a day, but is qualitative. It is better to choose time after a dream and food when the child is full of strength also energy for training. For the night it is possible to do couple of quiet exercises, having picked up at the same time rhymes about a dream or lullabies. For example, put to bed at first the child's fingers on one, and then you speak, as it is time for him.
Important! Duration of occupations depends on that how many the child will sustain. Do not force at all, do not raise the voice and do not abuse - it is games, it is necessary to involve in them cheerful intonation and a praise.
Types of exercises
For a qualitative and productive training it is not obligatory to have a lot of toys or special devices — the majority of exercises are carried out without them. But some games mean occupations with application of objects therefore will be to get several most important enough.
Exercises with toys
Whatever difficult or simple was the toy which you bought the child, you have to play together. To show, tell and help to study taktilno a subject.
Buying children's toys, we seldom think of that, they are useful or harmful. Learn how to choose a useful toy.
There is a set of special toys which are created for development of motility of hands:
- sorters with different volume figures and openings for them;
- finger-type labyrinths are the twirled sticks on which it is necessary to drive figures, cubes, circles;
- wooden wheelchairs with the turning details;
- toys with buttons which the kid has to press;
- xylophones and piano;
- for children kinetic sand, puzzles, the developing cubes with plug-in details is more senior to eat.
Playing with the kid, you not only show how to cope with cubes, pyramids and buttons, but also you will help it to start talking. Show (and tell) slowly as details move as figures as wheels turn are inserted. Also let's the child repeat after you.
With toys it is necessary for development of motility:
- to drive a finger and the handle on uneven edges of toys;
- to allow to touch fabric toys, plastic, wooden — each of them causes different reactions in response to smoothness, softness, cold, heat;
- to press the buttons of musical toys each finger in turn and then — all hand;
- to allow to squeeze toys of the different sizes, forms.
Massage of fingers
Pay special attention to massage — it will help to warm handles, to disperse blood in fingers and to teach the kid to bend and unbend them. Begin work with hands of the baby with the birth — stroke palms during feeding, let's squeeze the finger. Every month of possible exercises will be more and more.
Massage is very useful procedure not only for adults, but also for children. Read about importance of massage for children of the first year of life.
— begin the main rule for any massage with easy strokings and grindings, and then it is already possible to do circular exercises of brushes, to warm up fingers and to bend them. Any rhymes nursery rhymes or counting rhymes will be suitable for occupations. If the imagination allows, it is possible to think out on the run.
Let's consider the most popular movements:
- Work with a palm — put the hand on a children's wrist and from it a free hand draw lines to a tip of each finger. After that it is possible to stir up a palm slightly. Repeat several times.
- Grinding of fingers — the fingers pound nurseries in turn, move from a tip to the basis and back. Repeat several times for each finger.
- Squeezing — softly squeeze a small pillow of each finger, at the same time imitating circular motions.
- Bending extension. Begin with a thumb, at first gently bend it in half, then press to a palm. So do five times with each finger.
- Work with a fist — take a hand of the kid in the and bend it in a fist, open and slightly shake by the relaxed hand. Repeat 5 times.
- Turns of a brush — bend a palm in a fist and accurately scroll it round its pivot-center. Clockwise and against. So you will develop a brush.
Whether you know? For the life each person bends fingers of at least 25 million times.
These are the simplest, but effective exercises which will help to weaken and warm up hands.
Finger-type games
Games with rhymes and songs are always interesting to children — so they study and train. For each age there are occupations. Let's consider options for kids and school students.
For the small child
The feature of these games is in that they were held by parents. The kid is still not able to bend and unbend fingers consciously. At the same time it is necessary to pronounce the rhyme or to sing a song. It not necessarily has to be folk art, it is possible to think out and independently. Let's give examples of some possible games. Forty - a crow:
- with circular motions it is driven by the finger on a palm of the kid and we keep saying: forty - the crow cooked a squash, fed children;
- we bend in turn each finger, telling every time of a word: gave it;
- we bend a little finger and we say: and to it did not give;
- we unbend fingers and we begin to bend again, sentencing: he did not go into the woods, did not carry firewood, did not heat the oven, did not cook a squash, here and will not receive a squash;
- we stir up slightly a palm and we say: let will be hungry.
The counting rhyme about a hare:
- we bend each finger and we consider: time, two, three, four, five;
- we unbend everything at once — hare went out for a walk;
- again we bend everyone and we consider: time, two, three, four, five;
- we unbend and say: hare hid again.
Family members:
- we bend each finger and we call it: this finger — the grandfather, this finger — the grandmother, this finger — mother, this finger — the father, this finger — I;
- we unbend them and we stir up a palm — here and all my family.
Goat:
- we bend a hand in a fist and we expose a little finger and index, at the same time we say: there was a goat horned;
- we unbend all fingers and we put hands on the head, we say: for small children.
We will invite guests:
- we link in turn each finger of mother and kid, sentencing: Sasha, come! Vanya, come! Masha, come! Katya, come! Dasha, come!;
- we give a palm five and we say: we will bake pies!.
The first steps of the child – very joyful event for each mother. Consider in more detail that it is possible to make to help the kid to zatopat quicker.
For children of school age
Children are more senior already can show figure fingers, to weave them, to bend in turn. Therefore here it will be easier. Besides counting rhymes are already uninteresting to them therefore it is necessary to attract additional objects — to put on caps on fingers or knitted thimbles, berries, special toys. It is possible to organize shadow shows — by means of fingers to create fancy figures.
Whether you know? Fingers are the most sensitive parts of a body. They can catch fluctuations with an amplitude of 0.002 mm.
It is necessary for school students that:
- to learn to switch attention;
- to have a rest;
- to increase progress due to development of work of a brain;
- to improve handwriting;
- to warm up hands after long literary trash.
What it is possible to play:
- Walkers: turn palms to each other as if for a game in pat-a-cake. In such position of hands it is necessary to connect a forefinger of the left hand to big right, and index right — with big the left hand that the horizontal eight turned out (or an infinity sign). Now in turn separate index and a thumb, crossing other couple and again connecting them. You can do exercise competing in speed who will quicker rearrange fingers.
- Fish: it is necessary to connect palms and to do by them wavy movements which will resemble the floating small fish. It will help to warm up working fingers after the long letter.
- Circles: at first on left, and then on the right hand serially connect small pillows of each finger to big. Then it is possible to try to make it both hands at once.
- Drawing: take two sheets of paper, two handles and at the same time draw the same two hands. It will help to involve two hemispheres of a brain at once.
- Ear nose: the left forefinger needs to be put on a nose tip, and right — on the left lobe of an ear. Then cotton both hands becomes and quickly hands change. It is a game of attentiveness and coordination of movements.
Also it is good to school students to work with kinetic sand, puzzles, plasticine, beads, beads.
The correct education of children is a science plus the art multiplied by love and patience in a square. Examine as it is correct to bring up the child.
So, we found out that exercises for fingers and hands need to be done since the child's birth. It will help it to develop and start talking quicker. Also development of fine motor skills of hands allows to develop attentiveness and to adjust coordination. It is necessary to hold regularly trainings and with school students of elementary grades — it will help them to have a rest from academic loads and even to improve handwriting.
