Finger games with mathematical content. Finger gymnastics in mathematics classes

3.4 Finger gymnastics in mathematics classes

The level of development of a child is directly dependent on the degree of formation of fine hand movements - movements that contribute to the development of thinking, memory, attention, and speech. Therefore, development work fine motor skills should be carried out regularly. Only then can the greatest effect be achieved. Finger gymnastics games and exercises can also be used in mathematics classes.

Exercises that are complicated by solving related problems are interesting. For example, according to the poem by Yu. Chuzhak “I bought a lamb of a bagel,” you can fix the countdown. At the market (exhibits fist)

Early in the morning (place palm on edge)

Bought (show palm)

Ram (fist)

Baranok (rib)

For lambs (the fingers of the left hand “play”)

For sheep (the fingers of the right hand “play”)

Ten poppy rings (showing 10 fingers)

Nine dryers

Eight buns

Seven cakes

Six cheesecakes,

Five cakes,

Four crumpets,

Three cakes

Two gingerbreads

And I bought one roll

(show the corresponding number of fingers).

I didn’t forget about myself (negative head movement),

And for the little wife - sunflowers (fingers of both hands are spread out, thumbs pressed to each other)!

Game "Clock"

(We sit on the mat (on our knees). We move our fingers (“run”) from the knees to the top of the head). The mouse climbed for the first time. See what time it is. Suddenly the clock said: “Bom!” (One clap above the head). The mouse rolled head over heels. (Hands “roll” to the floor). The mouse climbed up a second time to see what time it was. Suddenly the clock said: “Bom, bom!” (Two claps). The mouse rolled head over heels. The mouse climbed for the third time to see what time it was. Suddenly the clock said: “Bom, bom, bom!” (Three claps). The mouse rolled head over heels. Game "Worms"

One, two, three, four, five,

The worms went for a walk.

(Palms lie on your knees or on the table. Bend your fingers, pull your palm towards you (movement of a crawling caterpillar), walk along the table with your index and middle fingers (the remaining fingers are pressed towards the palm).

One, two, three, four, five,

The worms went for a walk.

Suddenly a crow runs up

She nods her head

(We fold our fingers into a pinch and swing them up and down).

Croaks: “Here comes lunch!”

(We open our palm, moving away thumb down and the rest up).

Lo and behold, there are no worms!

(Clench our fists, pressing them to our chest)

Game "Kittens"

(We fold our palms, press our fingers together. Elbows rest on the table).

Our cat has ten kittens,

(We shake our hands without separating them).

Now all the kittens are in pairs:

Two fat, two nimble,

Two long, two tricky,

Two little ones

And the most beautiful ones.

(Tap the corresponding fingers against each other (from the big to the little finger).

Game "Spring"

(We fold our fingers into a pinch. We swing them.)

The woodpeckers are knocking louder and louder,

The titmice began to sing.

(Palms are closed in a “bucket”, we raise our hands up, open our palms, the sides remain pressed, fingers spread).

The sun rises early

To warm our earth.

(Movements are repeated).

The sun rises early

To warm our earth.

Streams run downhill,

All the snow has melted,

(We perform wave-like movements with our hands (fingers straightened, closed, palms turned down).

And from under the old grass

(Palms are closed in a “bucket”).

The flower is already looking...

(The palms open, the sides of the hands are connected, the fingers are open, half-bent (flower cup).

And from under the old grass

The flower is already looking

(Movements are repeated).

The bell opened

(Hands stand on the table, resting on the elbows. Fingers clenched into a fist.)

In the shade where the pine tree is,

(The fingers gradually loosen up and are freely relaxed (bell cup).

Ding-ding, rings softly,

(We swing our hands in different directions, saying “ding-ding”).

Ding-ding, spring has come.

Ding-ding, rings softly,

Ding-ding, spring has come.

Chapter 4. Mathematical competitions and leisure activities

Preschoolers love competitions and competitions, including math ones. Colorfully illustrated and musically staged competitions give them aesthetic joy, the joy of victory, and the joy of participating in joint activities with their peers. And the satisfaction they receive from engaging in mental work develops interest in mathematical activity and a desire to engage in it.

With the help of mathematical competitions you can solve a number of important tasks training:

consolidate, clarify, test children’s knowledge about quantity, magnitude, numbers, time, space, geometric shapes Oh;

teach to apply acquired knowledge in modified game and life situations;

develop perception, memory, thinking, imagination, speech;

develop the ability to analyze perceived and presented material, highlight the main thing in it, generalize it, compare, draw conclusions, reason;

develop intelligence, attention, observation, quick thinking, memory for numbers;

activate mathematical vocabulary in speech, learn to express thoughts in simple and common sentences, coherently, understandably for those present.

Mathematical competitions are valuable for the development of moral and volitional qualities: persistence in achieving goals, independence, activity, resourcefulness, fairness (when assessing the results of the competition), goodwill, courage, objective self-esteem.

Mathematical competitions are held once a quarter based on a variety of entertaining mathematical material: didactic and outdoor games, exercises with objects and toys, word games, riddles, counting rhymes, rhyme problems, joke problems, poems, stories, fragments of fairy tales, music, songs .

The material is selected taking into account the level of development of children, their knowledge and skills acquired during the learning process in the classroom, as well as interest in various types of mathematical activities.

It is necessary to think about the combination of material and the sequence of its use. First there is a warm-up. This is mental gymnastics, the purpose of which is to “collect” the attention of children and set them up to solve cognitive problems. As a warm-up, it’s good to offer simple tasks, riddles, and logical exercises.

During the competition it is recommended to use various options entertaining mathematical material accessible to children, provides for a change in mental and motor activity, collective and individual performance of tasks. It is necessary to alternate work with using visual aids and without them, as well as include various types children's activity. Difficult material is replaced by lighter material; at the same time, the easiest, most interesting, calming one is given at the end of the competition.

The musical accompaniment of the competition gives it a positive emotional connotation and lifts the spirits of participants and fans.

Children especially love competitions, competitions on a specific topic related to one plot, for example, “Sellers Competition,” “Geometric Competition,” “Catch-up,” etc. While maintaining the theme and plot of the competition, the teacher can complicate or simplify the tasks depending on the level of development of the children, their knowledge and skills.

The teacher warns children about a particular competition two to three days in advance. Children prepare for it, help them choose the necessary aids and attributes.

At the beginning of the competition, before warm-up or even earlier, children are divided into two teams. If there are few children in the group, you can not divide them into teams, but hold a competition between all the children in the group, rating the best answers, for example, with stars or flags.

Teams choose names and captains. If the children themselves find it difficult, the teacher can suggest names. It’s good when the team name is related to the theme and content of the competition. So, in the competition for children capable of mathematics, “Come on, little star, light up!” teams can be called “Stars” and “Know-It-Alls”; in the competition “Let's help Dunno and Pochemuchka maintain their friendship” - “Good Guys” and “Brave Guys”; in the “Geometric Competition” - “Balls” and “Cubes”, etc.

The competition is led by the teacher. He evaluates the children’s answers, the tasks they completed, and motivates his assessments. During the competition, the teacher uses indirect management techniques: reminder, advice, clarification, suggestion, clarification of answers. Leading and prompting questions will be appropriate. It is important that all children understand the essence of the tasks, as well as acceptable methods of solution.

At the end of the competition, the number of stars, flags, candies or other prizes received for completing tasks is counted. The winning team or winning children are determined and awarded with souvenirs and badges. Memorable gifts The losing participants of the competition also receive. The children greet the winning team with applause.

Competitions can be held in a group room or in a room decorated with mathematical material.

During the competition, the teacher monitors the condition of the children, their mood, and desire to continue the competition. Depending on this, it can be extended or shortened. It is important that children look forward to math competitions and take part with pleasure.

The purpose of the competition is for teachers to test their professional knowledge and skills. They can be carried out both in kindergarten and in teacher training colleges - as a type of practical exercise.

Conclusion

Kindergarten, as we know, is an intermediate stage between infancy and school. This stage is incredibly responsible, since the child must go to school with a decent amount of knowledge and life skills behind him. Basic mathematical concepts are taught to children in kindergarten. But today’s kids, it turns out, are much more restless than previous generations! Making them sit in one place is almost impossible, and any training requires perseverance, patience and attention. What can be done to instill in them the necessary knowledge, avoiding the usual moralizing and boringness? Phrases like these: “Sit quietly!”, “Listen carefully!” will scare anyone away. Then there is only one way out - GAME!

Luckily, the numbers fit happily into the game's action. The first thing we must do is to interest the children. And if interest appears, then there will also be a desire to become more closely acquainted with mathematics. The second is to organize creative and active cooperation between children and the teacher. We must remember that for this we will need a large amount of visual material, otherwise it is impossible, especially with regard to mathematical calculations, where we cannot do without clarity.

Play is a natural way for a child to develop. Nature created us this way, because it is no coincidence that baby animals acquire all their vital skills through play. Only in play does a child joyfully and easily, like a flower under the sun, reveal his creativity, masters new skills and knowledge, develops dexterity, observation, imagination, memory, learns to think, analyze, overcome difficulties, while simultaneously absorbing invaluable communication experience.

Of course, you can’t do without the educational process of doing mathematics. But it’s up to us to make it fun and exciting. We must remember that the key word in the classroom should be the word - CREATIVITY!

The hand has a large “representation” in the cerebral cortex, so finger gymnastics is of great importance for the development of the child. One of the most common types of finger gymnastics is finger games. Finger games develop not only manual dexterity and precision, but also the child’s brain, stimulate creativity, imagination and speech. The goal of classes to develop dexterity and accuracy of the fingers is to develop the relationship between the hemispheres of the brain and the synchronization of their work. In the right hemisphere of the brain, images of objects and phenomena arise, and in the left hemisphere they are verbalized, i.e. find verbal expression. And this process occurs thanks to the “bridge” between the right and left hemispheres. The stronger this bridge, scientists believe, the faster and more often nerve impulses travel along it, the more active the thought processes, more precisely the attention, the higher the abilities.

Finger games affect finger plasticity, hands become obedient, which helps the child in performing small movements, necessary in drawing, and in the future also in writing. Scientists consider finger games as a combination of finger plasticity with expressive speech intonation, the creation of finger theater, and the formation of figurative and associative thinking. This means that finger gymnastics affects not just the development of speech, but also its expressiveness and the formation of creative abilities.

Finger games, according to scientists, are a reflection of the reality of the surrounding world - objects, animals, people, their activities, natural phenomena. During the game, children, repeating the movements of adults, activate hand motor skills. This develops dexterity, the ability to control one’s movements, and concentrate attention on one type of activity.

Exercises for finger gymnastics are selected taking into account the age of the child.

✔ Children under 2 years of age:

They become familiar with the palm, perform simple movements: patting, tapping on the knees, hiding hands behind the back.

For example, the exercise "Bunny"

The little gray bunny sits and wiggles his ears.

That's it, that's it! And he wiggles his ears.

With the help of an adult, they show the figure with one hand (rays, claws, ring, beak, fan, rain);

It is recommended to start finger gymnastics by warming up your fingers: flexion and extension. You can use rubber toys with squeaks for this exercise.

The exercise begins with an explanation of its implementation, the posture of the fingers and hand is shown.

Gradually they move from showing to verbal instructions. (if the child acts incorrectly, the correct pose is shown again).

At first, all exercises are performed slowly. If the child cannot independently take a pose and perform the required movement, the teacher takes the child’s hand in his own and acts together with him; You can teach the child to support one hand with the other or to help with the actions of the working one with his free hand.

Work on developing movements of the fingers and hands should be carried out systematically for 2-5 minutes daily. These rules are observed when performing finger gymnastics with children of any age.

✔ Children aged 2 - 3 years perform:

Energetic movements with the hands (knead the dough, hammer in a clove).

For example, exercise “Cabbage”

We chop and chop the cabbage,

We three or three carrots,

We salt and salt the cabbage,

We press and press cabbage.

Simple figures from the fingers of one hand.

“Bunny” The bunny has long ears, they stick out from the bushes. He jumps and gallops, making his bunnies happy.

“Goat” The goat has horns sticking out, it can gore.

After completing the figures yourself, you can act out scenes or short fairy tales, distributing roles between the teacher and the children (for example, a meeting between a hedgehog and a bunny in the forest).

Compilation simple figures from fingers and palms (ring, ladle);

Games involving two hands (house, gate, castle, glasses, chain).

"Lock"

There is a lock on the door. (join the fingers of both hands into a lock)

Who could open it? (fingers clasped together, arms stretched in different directions)

Knocked (without releasing your fingers, knock your palms together)

Twisted, (twist the clasped hands at the wrists) Pulled (fingers clasped, arms stretched in different directions) And opened. (unclasp fingers)

"House"

There is a house in a clearing,

Well, the path to the house is closed.

We open the gates

We invite you all to the house.

"Ball"

Quickly inflate the balloon.

He's getting big.

Suddenly the balloon burst, the air came out -

He became thin and thin. (All the fingers of both hands are in a “pinch” and their tips touch. In this position, we blow on them, while the fingers take the shape of a ball. The air “comes out” and the fingers take their original position.)

✔ Children 3 – 4 years old.

Games involving two hands, but each hand has its own movement.

"Cat".

And the cat has ears on the top of her head,

To better hear the Mouse in her hole. - an animal figure is performed (first with one hand, and then with the other, then with both hands together). - the second figure is learned according to the same principle.

"Mouse"

Gray skin

Little eyes,

Ears on top of head.

Let's say to the mouse: “Hello!” - children perform the first figure with one hand, the second with the other, the position of the hands changes. - Having mastered the free execution of figures, the exercises become more complicated: small scenes are acted out, short stories are retold, accompanied by the construction of figures from the hand and fingers.

Story.

Vaska the cat saw a nest on a tree. There were chicks living in the nest (we depict a figurine of a cat, a nest with chicks). Vaska the cat wanted to eat the chicks and climbed a tree. But then a mother bird flew in and began to protect her chicks (image a bird). The cat got scared and ran away (image a cat).

Flexion and extension of the fingers of the right (left) hand alternately.

"Fingers"

This finger is the thickest, strongest and biggest!

This finger is for showing it off!

This finger is the longest and it stands in the middle!

This ring finger is the most spoiled!

And although the little finger is small, it is dexterous and daring!

✔ Children http://x-apple-data-detectors://1years:

Perform different figures and movements with the right and left hand;

Squeeze and unclench the fingers of both hands together and alternately;

Make a figure from both hands, aligning the fingers.

"Crab"

Crawling backwards, backwards

Everything under water is grabbed by claws.

The crab crawls along the bottom with its claw outstretched. Palms down, fingers crossed and down. Thumbs to yourself. We move our palms on the fingers, first in one direction, then in the other.

Four-year-old preschoolers can play games using several events that follow each other.

"The Bunny and the Cabbage"

The little bunny got up early went out into the clearing.

The fingertips of one hand form the muzzle, and the straightened index and middle fingers form the ears..

I walked along the edge of the forest towards the forest and found a large head of cabbage.

“We walk” with our fingers on the table. We show a fist with the other hand.

The little bunny began to gnaw on a head of cabbage with a crunch: crunch-crunch, crunch-crunch. The “hare” gnaws his fist and smacks his lips. He ate it, fell under a bush and fell asleep. Woke up...Stretched sweetly, With effort we spread all our fingers. And when I got home I took a long breath! We show how the hare moves across the table.

✔ Children 5 - 7 years old

They recite poems and nursery rhymes with their hands with frequent changes of figures. They make animal figures from fingers using additional materials (ball, handkerchief, pencil).

Combine the fingers of one hand alternately (1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5). Then with the other hand and both hands in parallel. When performing the exercises, attention is paid to the quality of the figure, the coordination of movements of individual fingers and the entire hand, and the ability to hold an object. Exercises can be selected taking into account thematic unity.

For example, the theme “Mushrooms”.

This finger went into the forest

This finger found a mushroom

I began to clean this finger,

this finger began to fry,

This finger ate everything, that’s why it lost weight.

Methodical instructions. Bend your fingers one by one, starting with the little finger.

"For mushrooms"

The sun rose early in the morning and caressed all the children. (Palms crossed, fingers spread wide - sunshine.)

We went for mushrooms. (fingers walk along the table, knees.)

They brought three baskets. (show three fingers)

Stick figures

I went into the forest with a basket,

I found a fungus on a tree stump.

Game - Place peas along the drawn outline. “Basket” I take a basket to the forest and put mushrooms in it. Methodical instructions. Place your palms on yourself, interlace your fingers, spread your elbows to the sides - the palms “spread apart”, and gaps form between the fingers.

Mushrooms in the meadow

Who's hidden in the picture? Help, fingers! You are running along the contour, Help me recognize the picture. Milk mushroom. Lay out a pattern using small geometric shapes. “Wonderful bag” Find a fungus among several different toys.

An interesting exercise in finger gymnastics is finger theater. It allows you to stage rhymed stories and fairy tales using your fingers, which attracts children. Many games require the participation of both hands, which allows children to navigate the concepts of “right”, “left”, “up”, “down”, etc. At the age of 5-6 years, finger theater skills prepare the hand for writing. It is recommended to show finger shows to children from the very beginning. early age. Didacts attach great importance to finger theater because it is an exercise:

Stimulates the development of fine motor skills;

Introduces the child to such concepts as shape, color, size;

Helps develop spatial perception (concepts: right, left, next to each other, etc.);

Develops imagination, memory, thinking and attention; helps develop vocabulary and activates speech functions;

Finger games for children preschool age

Mikhalenok Ekaterina Nikolaevna
Job title: teacher
Place of work: NDOU kindergarten No. 68 JSC Russian Railways, Bryansk
Description of material: I present to your attention a selection of finger games for preschool children. This material will be useful for educators, speech therapists and parents.
Target: Development of children's logorhythmic abilities.

What are finger games for?

To the famous teacher V.A. Sukhomlinsky owns the saying: “The child’s mind is at the tips of his fingers.” Today, all mothers and fathers, without exception, know that playing with fingers develops the child’s brain, stimulates the development of speech, creativity, and imagination of the baby. Simple movements help to remove tension not only from the hands themselves, but also to relax the muscles of the whole body. They can improve the pronunciation of many sounds. In general, the better the fingers and the entire hand work, the better baby speaks. To determine the level of speech development, speech therapists have long developed the following method: the child is asked to show one finger, two fingers and three. Children who are able to make isolated finger movements are talking children. If the movements are tense, the fingers bend and straighten only together and cannot move separately from each other, then these are children with problems in speech development.

The fact is that the hand has the largest “representation” in the cerebral cortex, therefore the development of the hand belongs important role in the formation of the brain and the development of speech. And that is why the child’s verbal speech begins when the movements of his fingers achieve sufficient accuracy. The child’s hands, as it were, prepare the ground for the subsequent development of speech. In addition, the goal of classes to develop dexterity and accuracy of the fingers is to develop the relationship between the hemispheres of the brain and the synchronization of their work. The fact is that in the right hemisphere of the brain we have various images of objects and phenomena, and in the left they are verbalized, that is, they find verbal expression, and this process occurs thanks to the “bridge” between the right and left hemispheres. The stronger this bridge, the faster and more often nerve impulses travel along it, the more active the thought processes, more precisely the attention, the higher the abilities.

If you want your child to speak well, learn quickly and easily, and deftly perform even the most delicate work, start developing his hands: fingers and hands from an early age.

In China, exercises with stone and metal balls are common. Regular exercises with them improve memory, the functioning of the cardiovascular and digestive systems, eliminate emotional stress, develop coordination of movements, strength and dexterity of the hands, and maintain vitality. And in Japan, exercises for the palms and fingers are widely used. walnuts. Rolling a hexagonal pencil between your palms has an excellent effect.

At the most different nations Finger games have been widespread for a long time. So, from an early age, our children were taught to play “Ladushki”, “White-sided Magpie”, “Horned Goat”. Today, experts are reviving old games and inventing new ones.
I present to your attention finger games that I use in practice.

Autumn leaves.
There is silence in the forest,
Smooth hand movements.
You can barely hear the rustling of the forest
Raise your finger to your lips.
Sh-Sh-Sh...
Quiet.

Raise your arms above your head and gently lower them down, rotating your hands
He will dance and sing
And it will fall to the ground.
Place your hands on the table.

Hello!

Hello, golden sun!
Claps.
Hello, blue sky!

We washed the dishes: Kettle, cup, ladle, spoon
Bend the fingers on your left hand one by one.
And a big ladle.
We washed the dishes
Imitate washing movements.
We just broke the cup.
Alternately touch your fingertips to each other.
The ladle also fell apart,
The teapot's nose was broken, we also broke the spoon -
This is how we helped mom.
Clench and unclench your fists.

Spring.

The woodpeckers are knocking louder,
Knock on the fist with one hand
palm of the other.
The titmice began to sing.
Place your fingers in a pinch, squeeze and unclench.
The sun rises early
Raise your hands up, put your hands down
through the sides.
To warm our earth,
Streams run downhill,
Perform wave-like movements with your hands.
All the snow has melted
And from under the old grass
Fold your palms into a cup shape
The flower is already looking. The bell opened
Slowly open the cup''.
In the shade, where the pine tree is,
Ding-ding, rings softly,
Move your fingers.
Ding-ding, spring has come.

Mistress.

I'll cook porridge for the doll,
Imitate the movements of stirring porridge.
I'll pour milk into a bowl,
I'll put some cereal there,
Rub your fingers together.
And I'll put it on the stove.
Extend your hands, palms up,
stretch forward.
The porridge will be good
Clap your hands.
Eat, doll, slowly!
Wag your finger.

Finger games are simply irreplaceable on a long journey, or to pass the time while waiting in a clinic or other queue. For educators, these games are good for relieving stress, distracting children, or calming them down after active games or after a walk before lunch. When I worked as a teacher, I often used finger games in routine moments to focus the attention of preschoolers on myself. And now I’m a mother and I also play these games with my child quite often. Children love to play finger games. These games are simply irreplaceable for children and fine motor skills. I would like to introduce you to some of the most common finger games, which are very figurative and easy to remember.

The first three games are suitable for young children; they can be played from about one and a half years old.

On a visit…

Visiting the big toe

They came straight to the house:

(hands clenched into fists, thumbs up)

Index and middle

Nameless and last -

The little finger itself, Baby

He knocked on the threshold.

(we touch the thumb with each finger in turn in accordance with the text of the poem)

Family.

(we show the fingers of one hand one by one, starting with the thumb, stroking them with the fingers of the other hand. If the child is small, then the adult himself can stroke the baby’s fingers, starting with the thumb)

This finger is grandpa

This finger is grandma

This finger is daddy

This finger is mommy

This finger is me:

That's my whole family!

For mushrooms...

(we show the fingers of one hand one by one, starting with the little finger, after which we repeat the exercise with the other hand)

This finger went into the forest,

This finger found a mushroom

I began to clean this finger,

This finger began to fry,

This finger ate everything

That's why I got fat!

You can start playing the following games from the age of two. And some of them can be highlighted thematically. For example, the following games are suitable for spring and activities dedicated to spring:

Flower.

A tall flower grew in a clearing,

(gradually raise our arms up, with our wrists pressed together and our hands imitating a flower bud)

On a spring morning he opened his petals,

(we open our palms above our heads, our wrists are still pressed to each other) we hide our palms above our heads, our forearms are pressed to each other, and our hands imitate a flower bud with our hand)

Beauty and nutrition to all petals

Together they give roots underground.

(we lower our hands down, pressing our wrists together back side and move our fingers)

Birds.

The birds have flown

(raise our hands up)

They sat on the trees,

(we open our fingers, imitating trees)

They flapped their wings,

(we wave our palms without lowering our hands)

We rested together.

(we lower our hands to shoulder level, gather our fingers into a pinch)

And for autumn another game:

We chop cabbage...

We chop the cabbage, chop it,

(we turn our palms so that they look at each other, and the edge of the palm looks down, we imitate “chopping cabbage” by raising and lowering our palms)

We are three carrots, three,

(hands clenched into fists, fist on fist)

We salt the cabbage, we salt it,

(fingers gathered into pinches, we imitate movements depicting how we “salt cabbage”)

We are squeezing the cabbage, squeezing it!

(we open and close our fingers)

Well, the rest are neutral in theme, they can be played at any time of the year, anywhere...

Friendly fingers.

We can't live without each other

Because we are family -

Friends in our group

Girls and boys

(we clench our hands and unclench them, then raising our fingers up, then lowering them)

We'll make friends with you

Little fingers.

(unlock the lock and hold your palms opposite each other)

One, two, three, four, five,

(we lean each finger against each other in turn)

(shake off hands)

One, two, three, four, five,

(again we lean each finger against each other in turn)

(shake off hands)

There is a house in a clearing,

(we lean our fingers against each other, imitating the roof of a house)

Well, the path to the house is closed,

(we make a “fence” of our palms, fingers connected)

We open the gates

(we open the “gate”, opening the fingers of one hand from the other)

We invite you to visit the house.

(“we invite you to visit”, waving his fingers at himself)

Lock.

There's a lock on the door,

(close hands at chest level)

Who could open it?

They pulled, twisted,

(we stretch the lock from our fingers, as if turning it inside out, then rotate it with our hands without opening the lock, according to the text)

They knocked and opened it.

(knock palm against palm without opening the lock, and... open the lock, showing your palms)

Children really like such finger entertainment as “Under my roof...”. Children can play this game an infinite number of times.

Under my roof...

Under my roof

The mice gathered:

(an adult puts his palm, imitating a roof, a child or children puts his finger under the “roof”)

Dad, mom, toad - tsap!

(the adult squeezes his palm, trying to catch the children’s fingers)

Have a nice time!!!

The level of development of a child is directly dependent on the degree of formation of fine hand movements - movements that contribute to the development of thinking, memory, attention, and speech. Therefore, work on developing fine motor skills should be done regularly. Only then can the greatest effect be achieved. Finger gymnastics games and exercises can also be used in mathematics classes.

Exercises that are complicated by solving related problems are interesting. For example, according to the poem by Yu. Chuzhak “I bought a lamb of a bagel,” you can fix the countdown. At the market (exhibits fist)

Early in the morning (place palm on edge)

Bought (show palm)

Ram (fist)

Baranok (rib)

For lambs (the fingers of the left hand “play”)

For sheep (the fingers of the right hand “play”)

Ten poppy rings (showing 10 fingers)

Nine dryers

Eight buns

Seven cakes

Six cheesecakes,

Five cakes,

Four crumpets,

Three cakes

Two gingerbreads

And I bought one roll

(show the corresponding number of fingers).

I didn’t forget about myself (negative head movement),

And for the little wife - sunflowers (the fingers of both hands are spread out, the thumbs are pressed to each other)!

Game "Clock"

(We sit on the mat (on our knees). We move our fingers (“run”) from the knees to the top of the head).

The mouse climbed for the first time

See what time it is.

Suddenly the clock said: “Bang!”

(One clap overhead).

The mouse rolled head over heels.

(Hands “roll” to the floor).

The mouse climbed in a second time

See what time it is.

Suddenly the clock said: “Bom, bom!”

(Two claps).

The mouse rolled head over heels.

The mouse climbed for the third time

See what time it is.

Suddenly the clock said: “Bom, bom, bom!”

(Three claps).

The mouse rolled head over heels.

Game "Worms"

One, two, three, four, five,

The worms went for a walk.

(Palms lie on your knees or on the table. Bend your fingers, pull your palm towards you (movement of a crawling caterpillar), walk along the table with your index and middle fingers (the remaining fingers are pressed towards the palm).

One, two, three, four, five,

The worms went for a walk.

Suddenly a crow runs up

She nods her head

(We fold our fingers into a pinch and swing them up and down).

Croaks: “Here comes lunch!”

(Open your palm, moving your thumb down and the rest up).

Lo and behold, there are no worms!

(Clench our fists, pressing them to our chest)

Game "Kittens"

(We fold our palms, press our fingers together. Elbows rest on the table).

Our cat has ten kittens,

(We shake our hands without separating them).

Now all the kittens are in pairs:

Two fat, two nimble,

Two long, two tricky,

Two little ones

And the most beautiful ones.

(Tap the corresponding fingers against each other (from the big to the little finger).

Game "Spring"

(We fold our fingers into a pinch. We swing them.)

The woodpeckers are knocking louder and louder,

The titmice began to sing.

(Palms are closed in a “bucket”, we raise our hands up, open our palms, the sides remain pressed, fingers spread).

The sun rises early

To warm our earth.

(Movements are repeated).

The sun rises early

To warm our earth.

Streams run downhill,

All the snow has melted,

(We perform wave-like movements with our hands (fingers straightened, closed, palms turned down).

And from under the old grass

(Palms are closed in a “bucket”).

The flower is already looking...

(The palms open, the sides of the hands are connected, the fingers are open, half-bent (flower cup).

And from under the old grass

The flower is already looking

(Movements are repeated).

The bell opened

(Hands stand on the table, resting on the elbows. Fingers clenched into a fist.)

In the shade where the pine tree is,

(The fingers gradually loosen up and are freely relaxed (bell cup).

Ding-ding, rings softly,

(We swing our hands in different directions, saying “ding-ding”).

Ding-ding, spring has come.

Ding-ding, rings softly,

Ding-ding, spring has come.
