Do-it-yourself physical equipment. How to attract preschool children to physical education using non-standard equipment

One of the priorities in the formation of a healthy lifestyle of preschool age is the creation of motivation for learning and its instillation. An important direction in the formation of the basics of a healthy lifestyle in children is a properly organized object-spatial environment, primarily a motor-developing one. It should be of a developing nature, be diverse, dynamic, transformable, multifunctional. To do this, in the group we use non-standard sports equipment made by ourselves, because new sports equipment is always an additional incentive to intensify sports and recreational work

Insufficient financial support, the inability to purchase the necessary expensive equipment, an ardent desire, no matter what, to make physical education entertaining and effective, exciting and varied, prompted me to look for new forms of work. Non-standard equipment stimulates the interest of children, the desire to move, participate in games; evokes joy and positive emotions. Diverse and unpredictable world of things that can find a second life, thanks to creativity, invention and skillful hands.

"Health Path" Material: the paths are a surface with buttons sewn in a certain order, from rods, from plastic circles. Exercise: for general developmental exercises in the classroom. Purpose: to promote the prevention of flat feet; foot massage and strengthening of the arches of the feet; improved blood circulation

“Massage flower” Material: colored pencils, a case from a kinder surprise Exercise: for games, used for breathing exercises (garlic, onion, lemon are in the cases) Purpose: development of fine motor skills of the hands, improvement of blood circulation in the fingers and hands.

"Dumbbells" Material: plastic bottles with sand. Purpose: to promote the development of strength qualities, agility, speed, motor reactions, balance, endurance. Exercises with the physical training aid "Dumbbells" contribute to the development of coordination of movements, activates the activity of the analyzer systems and affects speech and mental development.

"Expander" Material: made of plastic bottles, linen gum. Stickers are used for decoration. Purpose: to develop and strengthen the muscles of the shoulder girdle and strength, it can be used in morning exercises, for individual work, in physical education classes.

New, bright, non-standard benefits - increases children's interest in classes, allows you to use familiar exercises more widely, vary tasks. Non-standard equipment combines physical education with the game, which creates conditions for the most complete self-expression of the child in motor activity. All manuals and equipment are used in all types of physical culture and health-improving work: in morning exercises, physical education classes, in gaming activities.

Do-it-yourself non-standard physical education equipment in kindergarten

At present, particularly urgent tasks are to instill in children an interest in physical culture and sports, as well as teaching them accessible motor skills and abilities. For the full development of the child, it is necessary that in the motor activity he gets acquainted with as many various physical training aids and objects as possible. The subject environment is of great importance for the development of children's motor activity, the formation of their initiative behavior and creativity. Along with traditional physical education aids, much attention is paid to the production of non-traditional aids. Non-standard equipment is always an additional incentive for physical culture and health-improving work. Therefore, it is never redundant. You can upgrade the group's game inventory at no extra cost. Sports and gaming non-standard equipment is designed to help solve the problems of purposeful and comprehensive development of children, and the formation of personality. The project is non-standard equipment for motor activity of children.

"Non-standard equipment for physical activity of children"

Educator: Stepanenko Yulia Viktorovna. MKDOU Ts.R.R. kindergarten No. 21. group No. 3

1 youngest (nursery).

Relevance of the topic.

The main task of preschool institutions is to improve, ensure the versatile physical development of the child, the kindergarten has certain ones that allow you to fully engage in the improvement of preschoolers. These are tempering procedures in groups, breathing exercises and acupressure, morning exercises, physical education classes and a swimming pool, sports holidays and entertainment, health days, various circles.

It is no secret that in kindergarten and at home, children spend most of their time in a static position at tables, watching TV, etc.

IN Lately in kindergarten, the number of children with musculoskeletal disorders has increased. I believe that the main purpose of physical culture is movement and active recreation, which should help children get rid of the syndrome of physical inactivity.

New sports equipment is always an additional incentive to intensify physical education and health work with children,

Diverse and unpredictable is the world of things that can find a second life thanks to creativity, fiction and skillful hands. More than one generation used chicken eggs, coils, corks, matchboxes, etc. to realize their fantasies.

To replace the disappearing household pets, we chose modern items that attracted us with unusual shapes and materials from which they are made: cases from Kinder Surprises, plastic bottles, yogurt jars, as well as all kinds of packaging, rubber stoppers, spools of - under adhesive tape, etc. These seemingly useless objects have turned into funny toys and aids for performing various exercises and corrective exercises.

Children in physical education classes should be, first of all, interesting.

equipment, especially non-standard equipment, plays an important role in creating an exciting atmosphere of the lesson.

Project summary:

Production by the teacher of non-standard equipment for motor activity of children.

Non-standard equipment stimulates the interest of children, the desire to move, participate in games; evokes joy and positive emotions. The materials for the manufacture of such a manual are varied and low-cost: cases from Kinder Surprises, plastic yogurt bottles, various buttons, fabric, linoleum bobbins, etc. These seemingly useless objects have turned into fun toys and aids for performing various exercises and corrective gymnastics. Having achieved the goal of expanding the subject-developing environment by creating new non-standard equipment that helps the full physical development of children, we solve the following tasks: - Provide high physical activity, improving the movements of children and their physical qualities. To develop creative imagination, the desire for activity, independence. - To develop in children an interest in the process of movements using non-standard equipment. - To create and consolidate a positive psychosomatic state. - To cultivate friendly relationships between children, the desire to help each other. The use of non-standard benefits adds variety to physical activities and the effects of novelty, allows you to use familiar exercises more widely. Non-standard equipment combines physical education with the game, which creates conditions for the most complete self-expression of the child in motor activity. The use of bright colored manuals increases children's interest in classes, gives them the necessary emotional coloring.

A growing body needs movement. Therefore, the main task of the kindergarten is to improve, ensure the versatile physical development of the child.

Movement is the basis of almost any activity of the child. However, at present, doctors note a significant reduction in the volume of motor activity of children. Observing children, one can note a decrease in children's interest in organized motor activity: their inactivity, unwillingness to take part in outdoor games and exercises. Therefore, it is necessary:

To increase the interest of children in various types of motor activities.
Raise the emotional mood of children.
Encourage children to independent motor activity.

All of the above tasks can be solved in physical education classes and independent motor activity using non-traditional equipment. Non-standard equipment stimulates the interest of children, the desire to move, participate in games; evokes joy and positive emotions.

Many people want to keep fit and play sports, but not everyone has the opportunity to visit professional fitness centers for a number of reasons. Do not be upset, because this problem can be easily solved. In one of our articles, we told, taking into account all the technical nuances. But to start classes, you need to have at least a minimum set of sports equipment.

Modern sporting goods stores offer a wide variety of exercise equipment, but the prices for them are very “bite”. Therefore, many became interested in how to make equipment for a home gym with their own hands, without spending a lot of money. This is what will be discussed in this article.

Homemade punching bag for the home gym

A punching bag is one of the most necessary projectiles that will help you work out the strength and technique of hitting. Making it yourself is pretty easy:

To do this, you need to take an old fire hose and rip one of the folds;
You should get a canvas strip that needs to be washed and boiled so that the fabric is not too stiff and does not hurt your hands;

We measure the desired length from the workpiece and sew a cylindrical bag with a diameter of up to half a meter. Inside we place another tight bag, well stuffed with sawdust, grain or plastic granules. It is not recommended to fill the product with sand, because it will be too hard at the bottom and soft at the top. This will create inconvenience;
The finished projectile is best attached to the ceiling with a chain or rope. You can also fix the inventory on a bracket, crossbar or Swedish wall. When exercising outdoors, the bag is hung on a strong tree.

There is another option on how to make a punching bag at home with your own hands. You will get the so-called "pugnacious bag", which will help train the reaction and learn how to dodge the blow.

Fill a small piece from a fire hose with unnecessary things or rags and fix it well on both sides;
Hang the product on a tight elastic band or fasten the stretch on two bundles. On impact, the bag will spring back.

Also, such do-it-yourself sports equipment can be made from a tarpaulin from a car cover, but it will have to be sewn together in several layers so that it does not tear.

Homemade kettlebell for home gym

The simplest version of this inventory is a plastic canister with a comfortable handle. It can be filled with sand, gravel or small coins. You can cast the product yourself by making a metal case and lead "insides". But you should not create a projectile completely from lead, since the specified metal, in contact with the skin, can harm it.

There are a couple more simple ways to make a kettlebell with your own hands:

We put three strong bags into each other, fill in the filler, and give the product the desired shape with adhesive tape. How it will look, look at the photo below;

We turn the tube of small diameter into a handle. In a ball with a dense shell (basketball is best), we make a cut, put large bolts and metal waste inside, pour concrete mixture. In it we fix the handle, connecting its ends to each other. Then we sew the incision tightly. The disadvantage of such a weight is that it will be difficult to calculate its exact weight.

Do-it-yourself dumbbells and barbell from plastic bottles

Dumbbells are one of the most common sports equipment that can be used in a variety of exercises. They can be easily made from improvised materials. The easiest option is to use plastic bottles.

Instructions on how to make dumbbells with your own hands:

To assemble one pair of shells, you will need 4 bottles. Their middle part is cut out, and the top and bottom are fastened together with electrical tape;
Filler is loaded into the resulting containers, for example, a mixture of cement and sand. To increase the weight, metal elements (bearings, nails, small scrap metal) must be placed in the filler;
Next, the two parts of the bottles are interconnected by a tube or a strong wooden stick, which must be inserted into the necks;
The joints and the resulting handle are wrapped with tape or tape.

Before starting a workout, double-check all joints so that the filling material does not "leak" out.

Plastic bottles can also be used to create a barbell. Since the design involves more weight than dumbbells, therefore, more material will be needed.

A simple diagram of how to make a barbell with your own hands:

We take at least 8 whole plastic bottles and fill them with filler. The weight of each element should be the same so that during the exercises there is no skew to the sides;
As a neck, we use an armature (wrapped with tape) or a pipe that fits comfortably in our hands;
Ready weights are evenly placed at each end of the neck and tightly tightened with electrical tape. Each side should have 4 filled bottles. Be sure to check the tightness of the connection and do not regret the electrical tape if the neck moves out;
To increase the weight of the projectile, additional weights can be placed on top of the bottles, for example, from wooden blocks, also taping them with tape to the main cargo.

You can increase the weight on such a bar up to 100 kg. And to make it easier to calculate how much homemade inventory will weigh, use the following data:

Weight of a 2 liter plastic bottle (in kg):

With water - 1.997;
With crushed stone (sandstone) - 2,600;
With compacted sand - 3.360;
With wet sand - 3,840;
With lead - 22,800.

Do-it-yourself barbell bench

Almost all sports equipment can be used as separate units without additional equipment. And to work with the barbell, a special bench for the bench press is required. To make it, you must have the skills to work with metal.

To create a metal base you will need:

Drill;
Bulgarian;
Profile pipe with a section of 40x40 mm;
Roulette;
Vise;
Steel strip (length 140 mm, width 40 mm);
Welding machine.

We make a bench under the bar:

We cut 2 pieces of pipe 830 mm long each. They will be used to support the bar, so they need to be as strong as possible. From the bottom of each product, 340 mm is measured and a mark is made with a simple pencil;
We install two pipes at a distance of 520 mm from each other and at a height of 340 mm (this is how much you need to retreat from the weld to the base). The weld must be made taking into account the fact that it will be subjected to a load of more than 100 kg;
The support element for the bench will have a length of 970 mm. It will combine the structure with the rear and front supports (it is placed on the back on top, and attached to the side by welding in front);
On the reverse side, a 340 mm leg cuts;
To evenly distribute the load on the floor plane, an extension of 220 mm is made under the front legs, and 300 mm under the back. The joints are well welded;
From a steel strip in a vice, 2 supports are bent in the form of the letter “J” of the same length. Their rear protrusion should be high (7-8 cm), and the front, on the contrary, should be small.

Also, holes with a diameter of 1 cm should be provided in the design. They are used for the entry of rods and are located at a distance of 160 mm from the center of the beam that unites the front legs (see drawing).

Roulette;
Bulgarian;
Door hinges;
Sheet steel 2 mm;
Welding machine;
Reinforcing rod without ribs;
Foam rubber;
rubberized fabric;
Cutting board.

Stages of work:

We cut steel sheets 350x160 and 350x940 mm in size. We fix the first with a weld in the leg area with a protrusion outside the pipe of 1 cm;
We fix the second one with a steel loop by welding it with one side to the pipe, and the other to the steel plate;
On the reverse side, 100 mm recedes and two ribless fittings 300 mm long are fixed. This will allow you to set the backrest at an angle;
At the final stage, we lay a chipboard or edged board on top so that it protrudes half a centimeter in each side. Only at the junction of two plates, on the contrary, it is necessary to cut 1 cm each.

All joints of metal and wood are carefully fixed with self-tapping screws so as not to break through the wooden surface. From above, the structure is wrapped with foam rubber and wrapped with a rubberized fabric with maximum density.

Do-it-yourself press roller

The ab roller is the simplest effective projectile that many people use. It's pretty easy to make.

The main part for such a device is a wheel with a diameter of about 10-20 cm. This spare part from a stroller, a children's bicycle or a large toy is quite suitable. The second necessary detail is a metal tube (you can also use a plastic pipe or a piece of wooden handle). The length of this element is at least 30 cm, and the diameter is at least 3 cm (it should be as close as possible to the hole).

The easiest assembly method is when the tube is threaded into the hole in the wheel and secured on both sides with electrical tape. You can come up with other fasteners, for example, by putting on a plastic bottle cap on each side.

There is another option, how to make a do-it-yourself press simulator. In this case, the design will be more reliable. To do this, we take a metal rod with a threaded thread, thread it through the hole in the wheel and fix it with nuts. For convenience, we put on it two pieces of an irrigation hose on each side.

As you can see, you can make home exercise equipment yourself, and it is not at all necessary to buy expensive equipment that many stores offer. You just need to stock up on the necessary materials, spend a little time and effort, then you can fully equip your sports corner for comfortable and effective workouts.
