The best finger games for toddlers. Educational and methodological material on the topic: Finger games

In children in the first months of life, the tone in the flexor muscles is increased. With time increased tone passes. In the meantime, up to 3 months, the child's arms are bent in all joints, the hands are clenched into a fist. Therefore, before starting finger gymnastics, you need to relax the baby’s arms: stroke them from fist to shoulder, rub fists against each other, tap your fist on your palm. Only when the brush opens and the fingers spread out into different sides, you can start the game.

Stroking game

Place the baby in front of you. The choice of position should be comfortable for you and for the child. For example, you can sit on the floor on a rug so that your back rests well on something and your legs are bent. Place the baby on your knees in the supine position. Play with each hand of the baby separately. Gently stroke both surfaces of the arm (inner and outer) from the hand to the elbow, in the direction "from the periphery to the center." Speak while doing this:

Let's clap mom's hand

Lay your baby on the back of the changing table. Rub the fists or palms of the crumbs against each other, and then, in the rhythm of the nursery rhyme, pat his palm on your hand:

Babe (or child's name) can clap like that
He does not spare his hands.
Like this, like this, like this.
He does not spare his hands.

The baby's fists will open, he will spread his fingers.

Hello Ladoshka!

Take the baby in your arms. Play with the child's fingers, pressing the pads of your fingers to the tips of his fingers, stroking and kneading, kissing them:

Morning has come.
The sun has risen.
Hey brother Fedya,
Wake up the neighbors!
Get up Big!
Get up Pointer!
Get up Middle!
Get up, Orphan!
And Little Mitroshka!
Hello Ladoshka!

You, son, a piece of sugar

Hold the baby's palm open, stroke each baby's finger. Reading the last two lines of the rhyme, put thumb your hand on the palm of the baby so that the child grabs your finger.

The stove is a log,
Cow - hay,
Grass - calf,
Water for the lamb.
And you, son,
A piece of sugar.
(Dagestan song)

Thumb play

The game stimulates the withdrawal of the thumb, hidden in the baby's fist, out. Good mobility of the finger (and this game is also a massage) will be needed for the ability to grab objects and toys.

Stroke the child's arms and fingers clenched into fists. Gently take your thumb and bring it to the top of the cam, massage it lightly. Shake your finger in different directions, tell the baby a rhyme:

This finger is the most important.
He has (child's name) in order to
If they ask: "How are you?"
You will answer loudly: "In!"

Mirror game

Take the baby in your arms, bring him to the mirror. Emotionally communicating with the baby, draw his attention to the reflection in the mirror. Play with him: show him his reflection in the mirror and, raising it above the mirror, say:

- Oh, no baby (child's name).

And again bring it to the mirror, exclaiming:

- Here, here baby (child's name)!

In the second part of the game, grab the child's hands near the elbows and connect his fists, rub them together until they open. Make sure your hands are close to each other. Put the baby on the side in front of the mirror and put his hands on the mirror. Pronounce a variety of sounds at the same time to maintain emotional contact. If the baby's fingers do not straighten out, but are in the fist, stroke them, shake the handle, lightly tap the mirror with your fist, or press the back of your hand with your index finger. Now make sure that the palm is completely adjacent to the mirror. Clap your hand on the mirror while singing:

Clap, clap, clap,
You, baby!
Clap-clap
Clap-clap
My little one!

The main motor achievement of the crumbs by this age is walking. The child began to walk independently. Freed hands allow you to experiment with surrounding objects, the skill of predominant use of the right or left hand is formed, coordination of movements is improved. Exactly physical activity contributes to the development of cognitive abilities of the baby.

The influence of fine motor skills on the development of the child

Numerous scientific studies have confirmed the connection intellectual development and finger motility. It has been established that the level of development of children's speech is directly dependent on the degree of formation of fine movements of the fingers. Therefore, in order to teach a child to speak, it is necessary not only to train his articulation (speech) apparatus, but also to develop finger movements. Systematic exercises for training the fingers are also a means of stimulating the activity of the cerebral cortex, which contributes to the development of thinking and attention.

One of important features finger games is their accessibility. To play with the baby, no special devices and toys are required. Whole game material- hands, fingers of a child. Mom only needs to know a few special exercises and learn the lyrics for them. You can play these games at any time and anywhere: on a walk, in line at the clinic - where you need to take the baby, distract him or interest him.

finger games for the child are selected taking into account his capabilities and gradually become more complicated. These games provide good workout fingers, contribute to the development of the ability to listen and understand the content of poetry, teach to catch the rhythm of speech. When the baby pronounces verses and at the same time moves the fingers of his hands, his speech obeys the rhythm, is accompanied by movements, becomes louder, clearer, more emotional.

A good workout is provided by folk games. Mom first reads the nursery rhyme rhythmically, highlighting the semantic parts intonation, accompanying the reading. game movements. Then the baby is invited to repeat the movements, and at an older age - the words of the nursery rhyme.

When it is difficult for a child to perform this or that exercise, an adult should help by taking his hand in his, helping to move his fingers, bend them and unbend them. This is how the necessary movements are taught, fine motor skills of the fingers are trained and, accordingly, speech development is stimulated.

Finger games for a child up to a year

Exploring our possibilities

Work on training fingers can begin as early as two months of age. In this period important place devoted to massage. Stroke the baby's hands in the direction from the fingertips to the wrist, take each finger individually, bend and unbend it.

The game "To each his own name"

If you have never done finger games with your baby before, start with the elementary - just look at the fingers, name each finger, gently stroke. You can simply list the names of the fingers (big, index, middle, etc.), or you can give each finger its own name.

Calling the "name", bend and unbend each finger in turn:
Finger Antoshka - A little mischievous. (Bend and unbend the thumb.)
Finger Vlad - Loves outfits. (Bend and unbend the index finger, etc.)
Finger Kolya Goes to school.
Timosh's finger - A good boy.
Finger Irishka - Quite a baby.

You can come up with your own names and poetic lines to them or pronounce the baby's name in different ways: first full name, then a diminutive, special, as one of the family members affectionately calls the baby, etc. Thus, the baby gets used to the sound own name, learns to distinguish it from the speech of adults.

Game "Pencil - Assistant"

Take a ribbed pencil and roll it over the palms and fingers of the crumbs. Another option for the exercise is to place a pencil between the palms of the baby and, pressing the palms tightly, make rubbing movements with them. The convex edges of the pencil massage the surface of the palms well, forcing the skin receptors to work.

You can massage your palms and fingers with a small ball (for example, for ping-pong), any other rounded object. The massage effect will be more noticeable if you use a special hedgehog ball with rubber "thorns". Roll it in the palms of the crumbs, pressing them to the ball.

Master with the crumbs the famous folk games with fingers - "Magpie-crow", "Ladushki", "Goat-dereza".

By 9-10 months of life, it is recommended to train circular motions thumbs baby. The period when the opposition of the thumb to the rest occurs is of particular importance. From this moment, the child becomes available to the subtle movements of the fingers, the baby masters the pincer grip (the ability to take objects with the thumb and forefinger).

The game "Boy-with-finger"

Ask the child to unclench his palm and, helping him to make movements, begin to pronounce the nursery rhyme:
Thumb boy, where have you been? (We make circular movements with the thumb.)
With this brother - I went to the forest, (We bend the little finger in turn, first,)
I cooked cabbage soup with this brother, (then the ring finger, etc.)
I sang songs with this brother,
I ate porridge with this brother,
That's why he got pissed off. (Circular movements with the thumb.)

Crane Game

To play, you will need a plastic bucket and 6-7 small toys or objects (toys from Kinder Surprise, large beads, walnuts, constructor details).

The baby's pen depicts a crane: thumb and forefinger right hand they pick up the object and send it straight into the bucket. First, slowly show the baby the sequence of actions, commenting on your movements along the way. Then ask the baby to repeat first with the right hand, then with the left.

Show your child gestures-substitutes for words: "Goodbye, bye-bye!" - the baby opens his fingers and waves his palm, “Give me!” - the baby squeezes and unclenches the fist several times, “You can’t do this!” - the child straightens the index finger, and presses the rest to the palm and shakes the pen. Teach your baby to clap his hands when he likes something. The baby quickly remembers these movements, and over time he will learn to repeat.

Finger games for children from 1 to 2 years old

We play and talk

At this time, the independence of the child in many actions increases. The manifestation of independence of the baby also brings to the exercise with fingers. At this age, he can repeat some simple movements without the help of an adult, focusing on the demonstration and copying the actions. Independence is also manifested in speech. The kid tries in his own way, loudly and clearly pronounce sounds, words or phrases when performing any part of the exercise.

Finger game "Spider"

The spider crawls, crawls, (Fingers squeeze and unclench, "walking" on the surface - on the table, arm, leg.)
He weaves a web.
The cobweb is at least thin,
Holds the moth firmly. (Rounded palms are stacked on top of each other.)
The moth sat-sat,
Suddenly fluttered - and flew away! (We wave our hands in the air.)
Ask the baby to pronounce the ending words: “crawling”, “sat”, “flew away”.

Finger game "Family"

Ask your child to straighten their hand. We begin to bend the little finger, ring finger and further - towards the thumb:
This finger is a grandfather
This finger is a grandmother,
This finger is daddy
This finger is mommy
This finger is me.
All my family.

After saying the nursery rhyme several times, encourage the baby to repeat after you, or complete the sentence that has been started. For example, you say: “This finger”, and the crumb complements - “grandmother”, etc. Repeat the exercise with the other hand.

Finger game "Piano"

Imitate playing the piano by tapping with each finger in turn, then with the whole palm with spread fingers on the surface of the table:
We bought a piano
Tra-la-la, tra-la-la.
Playing with grandma
And the whole family is dancing.
Tra-la-la, tra-la-la.

The game "Fingers say hello"

Sit with the baby at the table opposite each other, “say hello” with your fingers - with each finger touch the child’s fingers in turn, saying: “Hello, little finger”, “Good to see you, ring finger”, “Good afternoon, middle finger”, “ I salute you, index finger, "" Have a good day, thumb!"

Make sure that the baby puts forward any one finger for greeting, and not the whole palm. Help him separate his fingers if he has difficulty. Simultaneously with the training of the fingers, the baby learns a variety of greeting phrases.

To train the fingers, games without speech accompaniment can also be used:

Game "Man". Index and middle fingers right hands "run" on the table ("little man"). The same movements must be made with the fingers of the left hand, both hands at the same time.

Tree game. Raise both hands with palms facing you, fingers wide apart. Move your hands left and right. At the beginning of each game, tell the baby how to place the fingers correctly, show the options for movements with fingers and hands.

The game "Drag the rope." Explain to the baby that now you will check which of you is the strongest. Explain the rules of the game: you need to pull the rope to your side, taking it with your fingers or holding it in your fist. Put a string, string or handkerchief on the table. Give one end of the rope to the child, grab the other yourself. On command, start pulling towards you. Of course, the child must win this competition, but you should not give up right away - let the baby train his fingers, develop their strength, trying to hold and pull the rope. Be sure to praise the baby for being the strongest and most dexterous.

Finger games for children from 2 to 3 years old

obedient fingers

During this period, the fingers and hands of the child acquire good mobility and flexibility, the stiffness of movements gradually disappears.

If you notice that the child easily copes with the task, complicate it: add new movements, change their sequence, learn other, more intricate finger games. In the game, ask the baby to repeat whole sentences, quatrains after you. Encourage and praise him for a job well done.

Finger game "Snail"

Speak the nursery rhyme, showing the child all the actions. Ask him to repeat the movements after you:

Snail, snail! (Hand clenched into a fist "creeps" on the table.)
Stick out the horns! (We straighten the index and middle fingers - “horns” and quickly remove them.)
I'll give you a delicious cake! (Show open palms.)
I don't need a pie, (Twirl with clenched fists.)
I love freedom.
I'm crawling along the path
If I want, I’ll stick out my horns (We straighten the index and middle fingers.)
And touch a little...
The horns are out! (Fingers hide again - clench into a fist.)

Finger game "Sheep and bagels"

Teach your baby to collect fingers into rings, alternately closing the thumb with the small, ring, middle, index and thumb:
Early in the morning
I bought a lamb. (We close the rings, starting with the little finger.)
And then for rubles
He bought bagels. (We close the rings with our fingers in the reverse order.)
One, two, three, four, five - (We bend our fingers one by one.)
I started counting bagels.
One, two, three, four, five - (In the reverse order, we unbend our fingers one by one.)
Started eating bagels.
And he ate everything ... (Show palms.)

Game "Magic Web"

For this game you will need a thin colored lace. Ask the baby to show the pen, spreading her fingers. We braid the lace with rings around each finger of the baby, and let him try to remove it from his fingers without using his free hand. You can beat this exercise together with the baby: for example, tell that the spider has woven its magic web around his fingers, and he needs to free himself. When the baby manages to remove the lace, accompany his success with a surprise moment, for example: “Hooray! You are a magician! I was able to free myself from the magic web! Well done!"

Finger theater for children

Finger theater is an excellent invention: light, convenient, mobile. You can buy ready-made figurines that are put on fingers, you can make characters for the finger theater yourself - for example, from felt, paper, knit from yarn, or you can buy it in a store. This toy will delight the baby for a long time, training his fingers, improving speech, fantasy and imagination.

Arrange joint performances, and the audience can be relatives and friends, peers of the child.
The simplest option- make "actors" out of paper.

Wrap a sheet of paper 3-5 cm wide around your finger and glue it into a roll. If the puppeteer is a child - accordingly, the roll should be thinner.

Then we make out the doll: paint, draw the face, handles, clothing details. Be sure to do features character: the king - a crown, grandfather - a beard and mustache, grandmother - a handkerchief.
Such artists are convenient for fairy tales with a large number of characters. Each finger is a separate hero. So you can put Russian folk tales: "Turnip", "Wolf and seven kids", "Teremok", "Wintering of animals".

Shadow theater for children

Fingers folded in a certain way under special lighting can turn into fairy tale characters. For lighting, use a small table lamp, a night light.
Install a night light so that the light from it hits the wall. Hands should be positioned away from the light source so that the shadow from them is reflected on the wall.

Before showing a fairy-tale action, you will have to practice together and master the techniques of correctly showing the movements of the character: how he moves his ears, opens and closes his mouth, etc.

We offer several games for the shadow theater:

Bunny game. Elbows rest on the table. Stretch up the index and middle fingers of the right hand, and connect the tips of the ring and little fingers with the tip of the thumb. Make smooth rotational movements with a brush (the bunny moves). Perform the same exercise with the fingers of the left hand, with both hands at the same time.

The game "The chicken drinks water." Elbows rest on the table, fingers folded in the form of a beak. Make rhythmic tilts of the arms forward and return to the starting position - “peck the grains”. The kid can be fascinated by the shadow projection on the wall, and later he will be glad to take part in the performance.

Finger game "Animals at work" Read the rhyme to the baby, along the way showing all the actions that the animals perform in it. Let the baby repeat the movements after you. You need to perform movements with both hands at the same time:

Today is a whole day
All animals in action:
The fox-sister sews a fur coat, (We collect fingers into a pinch and unclench.)
gray bear, old grandfather, boot incites, (We knock fists against each other.)
And the white-sided magpie drives away the flies. (Wave your hands.)
Bear Masha cooks porridge for children. (We make circular movements with the hands.)
A hare sweeps with a whisk under the tree. (Hit the palms of each other on a tangent - “shake off” the palms)

Baby finger trainer

Put a small tight elastic band (for example, for hair) on the crumbs on the thumb and forefinger and ask them to stretch it several times. Let the baby try to stretch the elastic with only two fingers, without the help of the second hand. Then put the elastic on the thumb and middle fingers and so on to the little finger. This game allows you to strengthen the muscles of the fingers, improves coordination small movements. To make it more interesting for the baby, we can say that we hang a lock on the fingers and he needs to stretch it to free himself.

Pediatricians have already buzzed the ears of all mothers about how to develop fine motor skills in children. Most The best way These are finger games. There are a great many of them, there are finger games for children 1, 2, 3 years old, separate complexes of finger gymnastics for babies up to a year old, a number of such nursery rhymes for children 1 year old.

The benefits of finger games for children

Finger games for children up to a year have special functions:

develop fine motor skills of the hands;
take a whimpering baby;

calm the child
please the little one.

Little children get a lot of pleasure from the fact that an adult is engaged with them, pays attention, touches their hands and tells funny rhymes. Pediatricians recommend such gymnastics from the 6th month of a baby's life, starting with a simple massage of each finger, palm and both hands for 2-3 minutes every day.

Finger games for babies from 1 year old are designed for the following purposes:

develop memory;
develop fine motor skills of the hands;

Children with whom they regularly engage in such exercises calm down faster after tantrums and tears, learn to coordinate their movements, control them, remember what rhyme to do with their hands so that mom or dad would praise them.
The child is growing, now he is already 2 or 3 years old, but finger gymnastics does not give up its positions, it is still important.

At this age, the baby is already able to make more complex movements with his fingers and handles, which again:

improves coordination;
develops fine and gross motor skills of the hands;

stimulates memory;
brings a lot of joy.

The relevance of finger games remains even - for children 3-4 years old -, its elements are introduced into ordinary gymnastics and physical exercise.
What are we all about fine motor skills? The fact is that the center of fine motor skills is directly connected with the center of speech in the cerebral cortex.

By developing the first, you develop the second. Toddlers, to whom moms and dads pay a lot of attention when playing finger games, learn to speak faster, pronounce individual words better, they can quickly make sentences out of them. And the ability to speak is one of the few qualities that distinguish us from animals.

Do not be lazy and learn these nursery rhymes! Without them, the game is not interesting for the child. Do not read them, children love to be told from memory.
Speak the text of the nursery rhyme with an expression, pronouncing each word very clearly - after all, the child will begin to repeat after you. Form the correct speech in the child from the very beginning.
Practice with your child no more than 3-5 minutes at a time. Otherwise, he will perceive them not as a game, but as a tedious obligatory activity, and will begin to avoid them. Spend such "fun minutes" a couple of times a day - that's enough.
Always praise your baby. It turned out to clap your hands - well done! He himself folded a lock or a snail from his fingers - clever! Encourage the child, then he will want to play finger games.

Comment on the article "12 finger games - for home, holidays, educational activities"

The development of fine motor skills. Psychological and pedagogical aspects. Adoption. Discussion of adoption issues, forms of placing children in families, raising foster children. And if there are many children in the family, finger gymnastics often becomes a favorite game of older people with younger ones.

Discussion

From the experience of communicating with cerebral palsy - popping in the nose with getting the contents out of there and rolling it into a ball - also fine motor skills. The speech therapist told us that this process is necessary.
And gnawing seeds is also the development of fine motor skills

What a useful post, I read it with pleasure, I will rewrite everything! We are just restless (((How to interest a child? If she doesn’t want to, she won’t even fit, or she’ll scatter everything ((((.

Educational games: finger gymnastics for children from 1 to 7 years old. Finger games on German. Early development. For the development of fine motor skills, various finger games, designers were invented, and creative activities are also good.

Finger games have been known almost since ancient times. It is possible that they were invented at a time when there were no toys yet, and the only available object for games were only hands. Apparently, the Lord Himself put them into the minds of our ancestors, because this kind of games - unique way child development.

Finger games, as a rule, have a simple, accessible to children's understanding poetic form, and with the help of hands and fingers, an adult, together with a child, “illustrates” the story. It has long been known what a big role in the development of a child's personality is played by bodily contact with a loving adult. Nothing compares to finger games for the degree of contact that is established during practice. Firstly, babies are usually seated on their knees and back to themselves. This gives the child a sense of protection from the ring of mother's hugs. Secondly, all the actions that take place during the game - stroking, patting, bending and unbending the fingers help to establish and strengthen trust, develop the child's communication skills, and finally, this is a huge charge. positive emotions from communication and the game itself.

It has been scientifically proven that intelligence develops through fine motor skills in children. The activity of the child's brain is very closely related to tactile sensations that the baby receives through the palms and fingers. That is why the best toys for little ones are those that consist of parts of different texture and shape, allowing the child to understand the difference between soft and hard, hard and tender, smooth and rough. But parents should remember that even the most best toy in the world will not replace personal contact, an eye-to-eye look, an approving smile of a mother or grandmother. Play with your kids! Put them in your arms and open for them magical land finger games.

How should you play with your baby?

- Before the game, briefly explain to the child the essence of the game in an accessible form.

- Play with passion, immerse yourself in the world of your baby.

- Do not give the baby a large volume and many tasks at once. Mastering one or two finger games a day is enough.

- Encourage your child's successes and turn a blind eye to his mistakes.

- The game should bring joy to both of you.

- It happens that the baby suddenly does not like some of the finger games. Don't make him play it.
