Training your fingers
Finger games allow parents and educators not only to delight their children with play, but also to develop their speech and fine motor skills. Thanks to these games, the child receives a variety of sensory impressions, he develops attentiveness and the ability to concentrate. Such games form good relationships between children and adults.
In kindergarten, as part of the educational process, much attention is paid to psychophysiological and social development, as well as protecting the lives and strengthening the health of children. And in this regard, physical education and health activities, in particular finger games, play a special role.
Finger games promote children's motor activity, coordination of movements, emotional uplift, and harmonious physical and mental development. Imperfect fine motor coordination of the hands and fingers makes it difficult to develop speech, master writing and a number of other educational and work skills.
The poems accompanying the exercises are the basis on which the sense of rhythm is formed and improved. They learn to hear rhyme, stress, and divide words into syllables. A sense of rhythm is also important when learning to write (for developing smooth handwriting), for memorizing poetry, and for preventing writing disorders (omission of vowels).
What does finger gymnastics give to children?
1. Promotes mastery of fine motor skills.
2. Helps develop speech. 3. Increases the performance of the cerebral cortex. 4. Develops mental processes: thinking, attention, memory, imagination. 5. Relieves anxiety. Fingers don't become skilled right away. Therefore, games, exercises, and finger warm-ups must be done daily. During classes, it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of each child, his age, mood, desires and capabilities. What seems simple to us adults is very complex and difficult for children to do.

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.
What is finger gymnastics
This is a fun and simple finger workout aimed at improving memory, fine motor skills, the ability to think creatively, and concentrate. Children are supposed to do finger gymnastics from an early age. The classes do not require preparation or special physical skills.
You can start gymnastics when the child is 3 months old. First, the parent bends the baby's fingers. Having reached the age of 2, the child acts independently, repeating the movements of an adult. As the child gets older, the movements should become more complex.
For maximum effectiveness, gymnastics are recommended to be performed daily. The lesson should not last more than 4-5 minutes.
The movements are accompanied by poems and fairy tales. Text support should be changed every 3-5 days. But if a child asks to repeat an old poem, there is no need to refuse him. If a preschooler refuses to play, you should not force him; it is better to postpone finger gymnastics to another time.
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.
