Gymnastics for waking up after sleep for the 2nd junior group of preschool educational institutions

What is gymnastics after sleep in kindergarten

The definition according to the Federal State Educational Standard of awakening gymnastics, which is carried out for the younger 2nd group of kindergarten, is a complex consisting of exercises that allow the child to gradually move from measured sleep to active activity. Held to the accompaniment of smooth music.

Gymnastics in bed

Important! For younger preschoolers, the set of exercises should always include a plot character, after whom they “repeat” the actions.

Goals and objectives of gymnastics after sleep

Goals of the awakening complex:

• Improving the baby's mood;
• Prevention of flat feet and curvature of the spine;
• Fostering a culture of awakening among preschool children;
• Toning the muscles of the whole body.

Gymnastics mainly performs a health-improving task, namely: maintaining and strengthening the child’s health.

Conducting thematic sets of exercises solves the educational problem and allows children to develop their motor skills and speech in a playful way.

Definition of the concept of “gymnastics after sleep”

Gymnastics after a nap is a set of exercises that organizes a leisurely transition from the calmness of sleep to continued activity, which is carried out to the accompaniment of rhymes and slow, quiet music. For children of the second youngest group, that is, 3–4 years old, the complex should be in the nature of a game with a plot, where a familiar character acts, who is a model for repeating all actions after him.

Physical activity is distributed in such a way that the complex includes exercises:

• to perform while lying in bed (stretching, swinging legs and arms);
• active block (running, squats, as well as elements of gymnastics for fingers, etc.);
• for the development and improvement of the respiratory system.

The total time to complete the exercises is 5–7 minutes.

It is worth noting that the selection also depends on the overall strategy of the educational program of the preschool institution. So, if hardening groups are practiced in kindergarten, then children do most of the exercises outdoors at any time of the year.

How the baby wakes up determines his mood and physical condition for the rest of the day.

Goals of exercise after sleep

Like all program elements of working with children in kindergarten, the main goal of conducting classes is to preserve and strengthen health. In this context, the goals of post-sleep exercise are:

• tone muscles;
• improve mood;
• prevent curvature of the spine, development of flat feet;
• instill in children the habit of stretching after sleep.

It is important to note that during exercises after sleep there should be no sudden body movements, otherwise muscle strain, increased excitability and dizziness cannot be avoided. In the second younger group, the emphasis is on walking on toes barefoot, as well as lifting.

Types of awakening gymnastics

Typically, educators try to create a complex that is aimed at achieving all the goals of the warm-up. But the educational plans of many kindergartens include only certain types of gymnastics aimed at solving a specific problem. In this case, planning is done for a month. In other words, for example, September - children do warm-up in their cribs, self-massage; October - work on exercise machines or in a hall with sports equipment, etc. We can distinguish such types of invigorating gymnastics as:

• exercises in bed;
• games;
• exercises using simulators;
• jogging on massage mats;

Massage mats are the most popular exercise equipment for awakening gymnastics

Types of awakening gymnastics

Different types of gymnastics are designed to solve specific problems. That's why wake-up exercises are so often planned weeks in advance. For example, in the first complex, children warm up exclusively in their beds. The second complex includes active types of exercises, such as jumping and squats.

Types of awakening gymnastics:

• Breathing exercises;
• Musical and rhythmic classes;
• Corrective exercises and complexes (preventing flat feet (walking on mats with different surfaces) or diseases (hardening));
• Exercises with equipment (hoops, balls, etc.);
• Role-playing games;
• Warm up in bed.

In summer, it is recommended to do gymnastics outside in sneakers or Czech shoes. A light warm-up in this case includes running, jumping, squats, walking on massage surfaces and hardening.

Additional Information! All the necessary exercises can be taken from the book by L. I. Penzulaeva “Physical training (for children 3-4 years old).”

Varieties of awakening gymnastics

Rules

1. When choosing a set of exercises, you should take into account those activities that occurred before sleep. So, if before lunch there was a role-playing game, then gymnastics may include more intense physical activity.
2. The temperature in the bedroom should not be lower than 16–18 degrees.
3. For babies who wake up earlier, it is worth preparing several exercises for self-massage, for example, with massage balls.
4. Uniform: shorts and T-shirt. Typically, shoes are not required to perform the exercises. The only exceptions are dance elements that require Czech shoes or socks.
5. Children cannot be forced to do gymnastics. All babies are different, which means that each one has their own characteristics of awakening. So you just need to find out the reasons for the refusal, but without insisting.

If a child does not want to do an exercise in a group, you should not punish or force, but find out the reason

In order for children to maintain a positive emotional attitude, you need to adhere to time limits.

1. Exercises in bed - 1.5–2 minutes.
2. Active block loads and breathing exercises - 2-3 minutes.
3. Hardening procedures, if any - 3 minutes.

Organization of awakening in the second junior group

Charging should be planned in advance. If a role-playing game was held in the first half of the day, then thematic awakening gymnastics would be an excellent continuation.

The complex must contain:

• Exercises in bed;
• Vigorous activity (jumping, walking, squats, running);
• Hardening (walking on objects that feel different to the touch (stones, sand), wiping with a cool towel).

Rules for performing game gymnastics

Some rules of gymnastics after a nap:

• The room temperature should not be lower than 16 and higher than 25 degrees.
• To perform the awakening charge, you do not need special clothes or shoes; shorts and a T-shirt are enough.
• Children should not be required to perform assigned exercises. And those who wake up early should be taught self-massage with special balls.
• By time: exercises in bed - no more than 2 minutes, active load - 3 minutes, hardening - 3 minutes.

Gymnastics in the junior group of preschool educational institutions

An example of a summary of gymnastics in the second junior group

Usually, the teacher’s notes indicate a thematic complex built on a specific plot.

On a note! It is necessary for children to get used to the method of waking up, so it is recommended to change the complexes no more than 2 times a month.

For example: “The sun is visiting.”

Introduction: “Guys, while you were sleeping, a little sunbeam came to visit us. Look, it’s right in front of your eyes—close your eyes quickly! And now on your nose, on your cheeks, on your neck - stroke yourself with your palms, try to catch it. He is not being naughty, he really wants to play with you. Get up quickly!”

For greater interest, it is recommended to perform to music familiar to children (for example, the song “I’m Lying in the Sun”).

• Exercise 1: “The sun is smiling.” Starting position: standing straight, feet slightly narrower than shoulder width. At the same time raise your right hand, palm up, and your right leg. Place in original position. The same with the left leg and left arm.
• 2nd exercise: “Let's spin with the sun.” I. p. - sitting, knees pulled towards you. On command, finely moving your legs, spin around your axis. Repeat no more than 5 times.
• 3rd exercise: “Sunbathing in the sun.” Lie down in bed, stretch out and roll over onto your stomach, then back onto your back. Hold in each position for 10-15 seconds.

A correctly selected complex in kindergarten teaches the baby to wake up quickly and with a smile on his face, and returns him to active activities in the afternoon. For children in the younger group, a playful approach and the thematic component of awakening exercises are extremely important.

Exercises in bed and music-rhythm block

The most common combination in awakening gymnastics is poetry, music and the exercises themselves.

Musical-rhythmic block of awakening gymnastics

Here is one of the complexes that can be carried out without lifting the baby from the bed:

1. “Stretch” (stretch for 5-10 seconds);
2. “Komarik” (clap 5-10 times);
3. “Bicycle” (performs for 10-15 seconds);
4. “Musicians” (performed to the rhyme):

Open lesson in a preparatory group on the surrounding world

“We played the harmonica and clapped our hands (the kids clap several times);

Legs - top! top! (stomp on the bed);

Hands - clap! clap! (clap in front of themselves);

And we lower our palms (relax, stretch our arms along the body).

Let's rest."

Card file of awakening gymnastics

As already noted, you can achieve the goals determined by invigorating gymnastics by alternating with a combination of different types of gymnastics (usually after half a month). For the second younger group, it is rational to use a combination of two or three types, since in this case it is easier to create a single plot for the entire set - that is, to satisfy the main requirement for carrying out such health-improving work: putting physical activity in the form of a game. Combinations of exercises are compiled in accordance with the planning of work with children of a particular group.

Exercises in bed and music-rhythm block

The most common type of combinations: gymnastics, poetry and music. Let us give an example of several complexes of such gymnastics.

1. Exercise "Stretching". Lying on your back, stretch your arms along your body.
2. We inhale and at the same time stretch our arms up and our heels forward.
3. We return to the starting position and exhale.

Instructions for general developmental exercises and self-massage:

1. We lie down on our backs.
2. We turn our heads to the right, to the left.
3. We stroke the arms, tummy, legs, heels.
4. We bend our legs, clasp our knees with our hands and gradually straighten our legs.

This is interesting. Combinations of different types have one feature: the first in these sets will be exercises in bed.

Poem for exercise in bed with elements of gymnastics for the respiratory system.

• A bird sat on the window, a cat meowed in the yard - they decided to wake us up. All! Quiet hour is over!
• Wake up, children, I want to invite you to play hide and seek. (Children lie down on top of blankets. Calm music plays. Children perform movements according to the text).
• Our sleepy palms Woke up little by little, Played hide and seek merrily - Fingers clenched into fists.
• The little toes on our feet know all the paths in the park. They check where the heels are, And play hide and seek with us.
• We almost woke up, our hands stretched out, waved over the sheet, and hid behind the back together.
• We will clasp our hands together in a “lock” above our heads. We will bring our right and left elbows together in front of us. Their knees don’t want to sleep, It’s high time they got up.
• We stuck out our knees and quickly straightened our legs. Our mouths are silent, We train our tongue: We will hide it and show it. "Good afternoon!" - we will say it loudly.
• Let's breathe deeply and blow out the air noisily. Our noses woke up, We smiled at each other! (stand on the mats next to the crib).

Instructions for the exercise “Grow Big”:

1. We stand on the mats, lower our arms along the body.
2. We place our feet at shoulder level.

Walking on massage mats is very useful for preventing flat feet
