Card index of sedentary games for children of middle preschool age


Sedentary play in kindergarten as a form of physical development work

Preschoolers move a lot during the day in kindergarten: they learn dance moves with a music director, do physical education, and do exercises in a group and on walks. Teachers teach preschoolers outdoor games in order to expand their gaming experience, because children prefer other entertainment in independent activities . The attention of children of the 21st century is captured by television and computer technology. The guys relax after classes and on weekends, playing mobile applications or watching cartoons.

Modern children spend a lot of time in front of television screens

Sedentary games are games with little activity intensity. They contain all the basic movements: walking, running, jumping, squats, swings, throwing, etc. The purpose of holding sedentary games in kindergarten is to teach preschoolers a playful way to reduce physical activity. How often children are scolded for not being able to calm down instantly after a frisky game! But this is a natural state; the child, due to the characteristics of the nervous system, is unable to regulate emotional and muscular arousal as directed. During their stay in kindergarten, children learn that every outdoor game has a completion stage - a short period of time during which physical activity gradually decreases. Children remember that intense play is followed by calm play.

The low-movement game “Ladushki” creates a good mood and helps to calm down after increased activity.

In addition, sedentary games are carried out as a form of change of activity in classes in a small room: in visual activities, cognitive and speech development. During these classes, children are in a sitting position, and outdoor games are recommended to prevent overexertion and fatigue. Of course, the game is chosen to be calm and held near the students’ workplaces.

Tip: if the content of the game corresponds to the topic of the lesson, this will arouse additional interest among the children.

For example, during a drawing lesson “Mouse” in a younger group, you can play the game “Tsapki”. The leading role of the teacher is the cat. He stretches his arms forward, palms down, and reads a joke (“There are mice gathered under my roof…”). Children play the role of little mice, placing their fingers under the “cat’s paws.” As soon as the joke is over, the children must sharply remove their fingers so that the cat does not catch the mice. At the end of the game, the teacher invites the children to take their jobs and draw for each of them a mouse that was able to escape from the cat.

Children enjoy playing games with animal characters, such as cat and mouse.

Like any form of activity in kindergarten, sedentary games are aimed at the diversified development of pupils. In addition to forming habits for a healthy lifestyle, these games introduce children to folk traditions: the text and characters are taken from folklore. Games can be aimed at developing reaction, attentiveness, and memory. Sedentary games can be played with the entire group of students at the same time, so that a sense of collectivism arises in the children.

Table: tasks of sedentary games in different age groups

Age group of childrenTasks
First junior/nursery (1.5–3 years)
  • Formation of the ability to repeat movements after the teacher.
  • Learning to move in a circle, in a chain.
  • Development of large and fine motor skills, coordination of movements.
Second youngest (3–4 years)
  • Developing memory through familiar games.
  • Developing the ability to repeat songs and pronounce texts.
  • Improving motor coordination and fine motor skills.
Medium (4–5 years)
  • Development of the ability to coordinate movements with independently pronounced text.
  • Consolidating in a playful way the knowledge acquired in the classroom (animal habits, folk songs, etc.).
  • Creating positive emotional contact between children.
  • Formation of the ability to play various roles (participant, driver).
Senior and preparatory (5–6 and 6–7 years old)
  • Development of verbal-logical memory (auditional perception of the rules of the game and the ability to reproduce them).
  • Creating sustainable motivation for sedentary games outside kindergarten.

The game “Dwarfs and Giants” develops auditory attention: children perform movements only in response to agreed commands

Types of sedentary games

Low mobility games are classified according to their content:

  • Plotless games. The rules do not provide for division into roles, and there is no script in the game. Plotless games are based on completing tasks: find, repeat, remember, transfer, change, etc. These games develop attentiveness, memory, and motor skills.

Plotless games are often perceived by children as a kind of challenge to their abilities: “Can you do it like me?” And they like it, because every child copies the actions of adults in everyday life, wants to be as skillful as their parents and educators. When my kids were little (3 and 4 years old), calming them down after loud play was easy with imitation games. “Guys, I know how to assume the poses of sea animals! Can you repeat it?" There was no need to persuade, the children joined in the game with pleasure.

In the game "Shadow" children take poses shown by the leader

Calm, entertaining tasks

It is advisable to alternate active competitions with calm competitions that require attention, intelligence and ingenuity. In small rooms they are easy to carry out so that children enjoy playing in them, they should be fun and include fun tasks.

Inside out

The presenter pronounces the words, the children arrange the letters in reverse order, write the resulting word, for example, having heard “pencil case”, the child writes “lanep”, the word table - “lot”. Use a variety of words appropriate to the age of the players.

New fairy tale

Children are invited to turn into good wizards to help the sad story. Choose any fairy tale with a sad ending, and then ask the children to come up with a happy ending. Prepare your props and act out the scene.

Speak without hesitation

Participants receive a piece of paper with a picture, and the child who reads it the fastest wins.

Drawing blindly

Two teams participate, the players must draw a car blindly, the children take turns blindfolded and asked to draw one part of the car.

The one who is more like the real one wins.

Guess the song

This is a competition in which groups of children are given cards depicting various objects, animals, plants and things from famous songs.
Teams must guess which songs are encrypted in the pictures, the drawn train can mean the song “Blue Car”, the red-haired boy can mean the song “Red, Red, in a Mask”, the image of a mammoth can mean “Song about the Mammoth”. Caring parents can always make their children's holidays interesting if they take a creative approach to organizing it. A selection of fun games for children will help them with this!

Card index of sedentary games in kindergarten

Games based on folklore material are played with younger pupils. It is recommended to use musical accompaniment for sedentary games: instrumental melodies at a slow tempo, folk songs, recordings of nature sounds.

Older preschoolers often play outdoor games during independent study. A musical background also helps to orient them in the need to transition from high-intensity play to sedentary play. The music sounds at a fast pace - the games are appropriate, the music is slow - it’s time to play more calmly.

The selection of games presented below is based on the program by N. E. Veraksa “From birth to school” and the methodological manual by O. E. Gromova “Outdoor games for children of the Federal State Educational Standard for Education”.

The game must correspond to the age and interests of the students

And when you hear the word “gnomes,” everyone should sit down lower. The one who makes a mistake is out of the game.

Of course, the driver wants to ensure that the players make mistakes. To do this, he first pronounces the words “giants!” loudly and in a bass voice, and the “gnomes” - in a quiet, squeaky whisper. And then, at some point, it’s the other way around. Or when saying “giants,” the driver squats, and when saying “gnomes,” he rises on his tiptoes.

Sedentary game “Guess where they knocked?”

Goal: To cultivate attentiveness and organization.

How to play: Children stand in a circle (or sit). The driver goes to the middle and closes his eyes. The teacher silently walks around the circle behind the children, stops near one of the children, knocks with a stick and puts it in the child’s hands, steps aside and says: “It’s time!” The person standing in the circle must guess where they knocked and go to the one who has the wand hidden. Having guessed, he takes the place of the child who had the wand, who becomes the driver. If the child does not guess correctly, then he drives again. If he makes a mistake the second time, then they choose a new driver. Children must remain silent while playing.

Carrying out sedentary games in kindergarten

Low mobility games in preschool educational institutions are organized several times during the day:

  • in the final part of a physical education lesson or leisure time, in order to bring the pupils into a relatively calm state;
  • on a walk after helping with cleaning or beautifying the area, after high mobility play;
  • in the middle of a cognitive and artistic lesson to relieve mental and muscle tension;
  • outside routine moments: after a walk, after cleaning a group room, during quiet activities in the afternoon;
  • at matinees and holidays.

Low mobility games are held during thematic leisure time

The teacher selects low-mobility games in advance in accordance with the age of the children and the topic of the lesson (leisure activity). If a teacher plans to play a new game with children, he must first learn the rules and text accompaniment of the game, and remember the movements. It is unacceptable to read the contents of the game from the sheet! It is allowed to show children a short video of how this game plays out (no longer than 1 minute), and offer to get acquainted with the rules. The teacher's emotional story about the game wins children over and motivates them.

The teacher passes on his own gaming experience to the children, teaches the children what he himself can do.

Table: example of a summary of a low-mobility game for children 5–6 years old

AuthorNutikova E., teacher at MBDOU D/s No. 198, Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo region.
Name"Amanita"
Purpose of the game
  • Development of basic types of movement (walking);
  • development of musical hearing and perception.
Preparing for the game
  • Attributes are made (a fly agaric hat, which can be made either independently by the teacher or together with the children).
  • At the stage of preliminary preparation for the game, a poem can be learned with students.
MaterialA cone made of plastic or cardboard 40–50 cm high, to the top of which is attached a circle of red cardboard with specks drawn on it in white gouache (circle diameter 10–15 cm).
Progress of the game
  1. Introductory stage. V.: Children, I want to tell you an amazing story. One day I was walking through the forest and picking different mushrooms. What mushrooms do you know? (Children's answers). So one day I was wandering through the forest, and I came across one amazing mushroom. Guess, children, which mushroom I'm talking about? The teacher asks a riddle. <…> V.: That’s right, it’s a fly agaric. Next, the teacher recites a poem about the fly agaric. <…> V.: This is the fly agaric I came across along the path. (Shows a voluminous fly agaric). Children, why don’t we collect fly agarics in a basket? (Children's answers).
  2. Explanation of the contents and rules of the game. V.: Look, a fly agaric has grown on our site. Let's stand in a circle around him and hold hands. We will recite a poem together and dance in a circle. As soon as the poem ends, you will begin to move, dance, around the “fly agaric”. But for a reason. Your task is to try to pull your neighbors towards the “fly agaric” so that they move it or knock it over. Whoever moves or drops the fly agaric leaves the circle and stands next to me. You can’t push each other or give in on purpose. The game continues until there are 3 players left. And the poem is like this:
      In front of us is a forest, and in the forest there is a fly agaric. The fly agaric is standing, looking at the children. Whoever takes the fly agaric will leave the circle. An option to complicate the game: children's movements are limited by the tambourine signal.
  3. Carrying out the game with 3-4 repetitions at the request of the children.
  4. Summing up the game. V.: How strong, dexterous, and skillful you all are! Separately, the teacher singles out children who strictly followed the rules of the game and who were polite in the game. V.: Let's draw a whole clearing of mushrooms. Here are some crayons for you.
Quote from: https://www.maam.ru/detskijsad/podvizhnaja-igra-maloi-podvizhnosti-muhomor.html

The following outline outline describes the main stages of organizing and conducting outdoor games with preschoolers.

Advantages of development:

  • description of the production of gaming material (fly agaric);
  • adding a more complicated version of the game;
  • indicating at the final stage of the game the transition to independent creative activity (drawing with crayons).

The shortcoming of the notes is seen in one of the goals set for the game: “development of musical ear and perception.” It is not clear how ear for music develops during the described game. Children recite poetic text, but no songs are sung. The author does not mention the use of musical accompaniment. The use of a tambourine cannot be considered a musical element, as a prohibiting signal is given according to the rules of the game.

For the round dance game “Fly Agaric”, G. Vikhareva’s song “Fly Agaric Mushrooms” can be used.
