Finger gymnastics for 3 years
At first, finger lessons should be carried out without text accompaniment. This is an introductory stage when the child practices motor control. The parent shows, and the baby diligently repeats the movements after him.
There is no need to aim for a perfect result from the first or second lesson. At first, the preschooler will not succeed in everything. When the gymnastics result improves significantly, you can arrange a competitive exercise with a sweet reward for the winner.
Here are a few exercises for the initial stage of finger gymnastics:
- Place your hands on a horizontal surface so that one hand is open, the other is clenched into a fist. Change position: squeeze the first hand, open the second. And so on several times.
- Extend your arms in front of you, clasp your fingers. Spread your palms in different directions, then turn the backs of your hands towards you so that your fingers are straightened.
- Place your elbows on a horizontal surface. Turn your palms towards yourself, then away from you. In this case, the fingers should not bend.
- Place your elbows on a flat surface. Turn your palms so that they face each other. Keep your fingers straight at the joints, connect them in pairs, then separate them.
- Place your palms and fingers together. Without separating them, move the brushes in different directions.
Teach your preschooler to train his hands on his own when he has a few free minutes. For example, when waiting for an appointment at a children's clinic. Let the baby stroke and massage his palm. Or he will take with him a small spherical object, for example, a tennis ball, and roll it, holding it between his palms. A great finger exercise for children is rolling a thin tube-shaped object, such as a felt-tip pen, on a flat surface.
Creative activities that involve the hands are useful as an addition to gymnastics: modeling from plasticine and dough, drawing with gouache and watercolors.
An excellent option for combining gymnastics and fine arts: finger painting. They are completely harmless to the child's body. The kid dips his fingers in a jar, smears paint on a paper sheet, thereby training the muscles and joints of his hands, and learns to fantasize. By the age of 5-6 years, the use of finger paints is irrelevant. At this age, the child should already have mastered the skill of working with artistic brushes and pencils.
The purpose of finger gymnastics
Improving children's speech depends on the development of fine motor skills. The better a preschooler moves his fingers, the easier it is for him to construct clear and intelligible speech. That’s why finger gymnastics for 3-year-old children is so important. It stimulates the development of articulatory organs, trains hands to hold writing and creative instruments, and improves thinking and creative abilities.
Tasks of finger games:
- general speech development, stimulation of the speech center in the brain;
- expansion of individual vocabulary;
- development of perseverance, attentiveness, interest in the educational process;
- improvement of auditory and visual memory;
- formation of ideas about poems and fairy tales as literary forms;
- training fine motor skills, improving the flexibility of the wrist joints;
- creative development, improvement of imagination.
