Methodological techniques with children aged 4-5 years
At 4-5 years of age, the child’s body begins its development, and the child learns to obey collective action. When preparing for classes, the teacher must use special methodological sources describing teaching methods.
The teacher uses the following types of techniques during the lesson:
- verbal;
- visual techniques;
- practical;
- gaming
Additional Information! Gymnastics uses game exercises with elements of performance and music.
Group of verbal exercises
Such exercises will develop vocabulary and teach you how to conduct conversations on simple topics, such as talking about yourself or about recent events. Examples of this type of activity will be presented below.
- Explanation. Must accompany any game action.
- Poems and riddles. “Every morning, my friend, don’t be lazy and hurry up to exercise. We will jump and gallop, raise our palms to the sun.”
- Poetic gymnastics “Berries”. Strawberry is doing the exercises: “Pull your arms higher.” The red raspberry bends: “With exercise, winter colds and even sore throats are not scary.”
- Fairy tales. Fairy tales should have no more than 2 plot twists, so as not to distract children from exercises; it is better to name the characters with memorable names; it is advisable to add illustrated examples.
Note! You can add questions to the stories for group discussion.
Visual
It is easier for children to perceive this world through imaginative thinking, so it is important to use visual examples during the lesson.
It is useful to use the following elements:
- Pictures with animals, toys that will be used as game heroes.
- Illustrations of each element of gymnastics.
- Personal example - the teacher must perform the commented action himself.
Additional Information! If during a lesson the teacher uses a video as an illustration of the exercises, he must repeat all the steps.

Practical
This stage occurs after physical education and acts as an independent analysis for children. Their essence is for children to share their emotions after exercises.
