“Outdoor games, their types. Importance for personality development"

While playing, a child gets to know the world, learns its laws and principles. You can compete by running and jumping and acquire various skills according to a certain algorithm - rules. Outdoor games for children will help you prepare for life and learn dexterity and ingenuity. The knowledge and skills that a child acquires during play activities help to develop correctly.

Classification of outdoor games

There are different types of outdoor games. Their classification was introduced for ease of use in practice.

The federal state standard of preschool education was developed taking into account the basic principles, including: implementation of the program in forms specific to children of this age group, primarily in the form of play, cognitive and research activities, in the form of creative activity that ensures the artistic and aesthetic development of the child. [2]

According to the definition of domestic psychologists (L. S. Vygotsky, A. V. Zaporozhets, A. N. Leontyev), play is the leading activity in preschool age, thanks to which significant changes occur in the child’s psyche.

Play promotes the physical, mental, moral and aesthetic development of the child. Various movements and actions of children during play, with skillful guidance, effectively influence the activity of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, help strengthen the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, improve overall metabolism, increase the activity of all organs and systems of the human body, stimulate appetite and promote strong health. sleep.

Our children live in an ever-changing reality. Exciting yard games have been replaced by no less exciting ones – computer ones. Many children stopped going out into the yard, preferring sedentary activities: computer games, activities with construction sets, watching cartoons. For a child, a sedentary lifestyle means loss of health and impaired physical and intellectual development.

Thus, an urgent problem has arisen: finding ways to improve the physical health of preschool children, effective means of developing the child’s motor sphere, and developing interest in movement as a vital need to be dexterous, strong, and courageous. This problem must be solved in the totality of social and pedagogical conditions that ensure a holistic educational process and the harmonious, physical and personal development of the child. This is facilitated by playful forms of organizing children’s motor activity. [5]

An outdoor game is a game built on movements. The goal setting and types of activities of the players are determined by the plot (plan, theme) of this game. The rules clarify the rights and obligations of participants, determine the methods of conducting and recording the results of the game. Outdoor games are characterized by independent, creative motor actions (with or without objects), performed within the framework of the rules. The plot, rules, and motor actions make up the content of an outdoor game. The content of the game determines its form, i.e. such an organization of participants’ actions that provides the opportunity for a wide choice of ways to achieve the goal and satisfaction with the game process itself.

In older preschool age, along with plot-based outdoor games, games without a plot occupy a large place: children practice running, jumping, and maintaining balance. Their movements are subject to stricter rules. The motive for the game is often competition (for example, who can run to the flag faster). Games for older children are mostly collective. The teacher and the children themselves strictly monitor the strict implementation of the rules. All children's games develop under the guidance of adults. Teachers introduce children to the life around them, enrich them with impressions, and provide assistance in organizing and conducting games.

Outdoor games are divided into elementary and complex. Elementary ones, in turn, are divided into plot and non-plot games, fun games, and attractions. Story-based games (for example: “Two Frosts”, “Where are you the sly fox?”) have a ready-made plot and firmly fixed rules. The plot reflects the phenomena of the surrounding life (work activities of people, traffic, movements and habits of animals, birds, etc.), game actions are associated with the development of the plot and with the role played by the child. The rules determine the beginning and end of movement, determine the behavior and relationships of the players, and clarify the course of the game. Obedience to the rules is mandatory for everyone.

Thematic outdoor games are mainly collective (in small groups and the whole group). Games of this type are used in all age groups. Plotless outdoor games, for example: “Traps”, “Dashes”, do not have a plot or images, but are similar to plot games in the presence of rules, roles, and the interdependence of the game actions of all participants. These games are associated with the performance of a specific motor task and require children to have great independence, speed, dexterity, and spatial orientation.

In older preschool age, outdoor games with elements of competition (individual and group) are widely used, for example: “Whose team will assemble faster”, “Who is the first through the hoop to the flag”, etc. Elements of competition encourage greater activity in performing motor tasks. In some games (“Change the object”, “Who can reach the ball faster”), each child plays for himself and tries to complete the task as best as possible. If these games are divided into teams (relay games), then the child strives to complete the task in order to improve the team’s result.

Plotless games also include games using objects (skittles, serso, ring throw, etc.). The motor tasks in these games require certain conditions, so they are carried out with small groups of children. The rules in such games are aimed at the order of arrangement of objects, their use, and the order of actions of the players. These games feature elements of competition to achieve better results.

In fun games and attractions, motor tasks are performed in unusual conditions and often include an element of competition, with several children performing motor tasks (running in sacks, etc.), the rest of the children are spectators. Fun games and attractions bring a lot of joy to the audience.

Complex outdoor games include sports games (small towns, badminton, table tennis, basketball, volleyball, football, hockey). In preschool age, elements of these games are used and children play according to simplified rules.

Outdoor games also differ in their motor content: games with running, jumping, throwing, etc. According to the degree of physical activity that each player receives, games of high, medium and low mobility are distinguished. Games of great mobility include those in which the entire group of children simultaneously participates and are based mainly on movements such as running and jumping. Games of medium mobility are those in which the whole group also actively participates, but the nature of the movements of the players is relatively calm (walking, passing objects) or the movement is performed by subgroups. In games of low mobility, movements are performed at a slow pace, and their intensity is insignificant.

The flexible application of well-known classification principles provides teachers with the broadest opportunities for the rational use of the game method of developing motor activity, be it the task of primarily developing physical qualities or forming and improving coordinated and economical movements, developing the ability to quickly enter the desired rhythm and tempo of physical activity, deftly, quickly and It is advisable to perform a variety of motor tasks that in a certain way meet the requirements imposed by vital practical activities.

Introducing a child to physical education is important not only from the point of view of strengthening their health, but also for developing the habit of playing sports. Many children find it difficult to get out of a warm bed to exercise. But time passes, a week or two, and the baby jumps up cheerfully at the first sounds of a sports march or other music that accompanies morning exercises. A conditioned dynamic stereotype of behavior is developed, which introduces a certain rhythm into the morning routine and does not require additional volitional efforts.

It is quite possible for parents to conduct similar games at home, in the yard, in the country or on a walk, during which children acquire vital skills and develop physically. Over time, physical exercise becomes a favorite game for children, in which everything is interesting: new achievements, competitive games, and parental participation. Any load begins to be perceived easily and with curiosity, even cold load, without which hardening is impossible.

It is important for educators to take a creative approach to conducting direct educational activities in physical education and, if necessary, independently create game tasks containing the types of movements that the child especially needs at the moment.

Outdoor games play a big role in the mental and physical development of a child. A variety of outdoor games help develop various muscle groups of the body, coordination of movements, and promote the development of speech and thinking. But in order for the effect of the game to be positive, it is necessary to take into account the physiological characteristics of children of different ages when choosing it; In many ways, the success of the game depends on the choice of the venue and the preparation of this place for the game, explanation of the rules, division into teams and the choice of drivers. As for the dosage during the game, excessive muscle tension is not recommended; it is advisable to ensure optimal loads. Intense exercise should be alternated with rest.

A variety of motor actions in outdoor games contributes to normal physical development and strengthening the health of preschool children.

For each age, their own outdoor games have been developed in kindergarten, which take into account the psychological and physiological characteristics of a particular age. The organization of events involves mandatory games in kindergarten, when both fairy-tale characters and the children themselves become participants in entertaining and playful activities. After playing games in kindergarten, both children and parents will be satisfied! That is why competent organization of games in kindergarten will give every child unforgettable emotions. [6]

The selection and planning of outdoor games depend on the working conditions of each age group: the general level of physical and mental development of children, their motor skills; the health status of each child, his individual typological characteristics; time of year, features of the regime, location, interests of children.

When playing a familiar game, children themselves remember its basic rules and course. If there is a need to clarify something, the teacher does this, emphasizing the most crucial, important points.

Depending on the plot, the game is played simultaneously with all children or with a small subgroup. Familiarization with a new plot-based outdoor game is given after preliminary work. As preliminary work you can use:

• reading works of fiction; conversations, watching films and videos;
• organization of observation of nature, animal habits, activities of people of various professions (drivers, firefighters, athletes, etc.);
• preparation of game attributes (together with children or in their presence).

In the explanation of a non-plot game, the sequence of game actions, rules and signals is revealed, indicating the location of the players and game attributes, using spatial terminology (in the younger group - with orientation to the object, in the art. - without them).

An explanation of games with elements of competition includes clarification of the rules, game techniques, competition conditions (“Who can run to the chair faster”, “Whose team will not drop the ball”, etc.), you can divide the children into teams, and at the end evaluate the result;

Roles are distributed using a counting rhyme or at will (in the younger group - driver - teacher);

It is very important, when summing up, to evaluate the positive qualities of children, to name those who successfully fulfilled their roles, showed courage, restraint, mutual assistance, creativity, and then analyze the reasons for breaking the rules.

You can increase interest in the game, complicate mental and physical tasks, improve movements, and improve the psychophysical qualities of a child using the variety of outdoor games.

An outdoor game is carried out at every physical education lesson; at the same time, as before, special attention is paid to cultivating endurance, perseverance, and developing the ability to demonstrate volitional and physical effort. For this purpose, outdoor games should be organized in which the overall result of the team depends on the result of each (relay games, games with elements of competition, exercises on the obstacle course). It is advisable to play the same game in at least two sessions, providing for their combination with physical exercises so that the same muscle groups do not become overloaded.[3]

There are various options for outdoor games. Variation allows them to be used more appropriately, taking into account the preparedness of children. Outdoor games can be gradually made more complex, but the sequence of actions and episodes remains constant. Changes must always be justified.

You can, for example, complicate motor tasks by increasing the distance (for running, jumping, throwing), or introduce new types of movements (walking and running between objects, on a bridge in the game “Train”, etc.) It is also possible to change the pace of movement, increase the number “traps”, the number of children in a subgroup, complicating the rules (for example, first everyone runs and takes any place, and then only a certain one). Another example: in one version, children help the teacher catch mice, in another, more complex version, they independently play the role of a cat. The interactions between the players also become more complicated: at first the children simply run, and then run away from the catcher (“Traps”, “Traps with ribbons”, “Squat traps”, “Don’t stay on the floor”).

Options for outdoor games can be created by the teacher himself, taking into account the level of mental and physical development of the children in his group and providing for a gradual increase in requirements for them. Children themselves can be involved in creating new versions of the game, especially in older groups.

During the game, physical activity constantly changes. The structure of the games and their rules provide for the appropriate alternation of active actions of children with rest. However, their duration and intensity are not stable. Using the plot and rules of the game, the teacher, at his own discretion, can increase or shorten the duration of the game episodes, set their shift, and increase the intensity of movements.[4]

Children’s play activities objectively combine two very important factors: on the one hand, children are involved in practical activities, develop physically, and get used to acting independently; on the other hand, they receive moral and aesthetic satisfaction from this activity and deepen their knowledge of their environment. All this ultimately contributes to the education of the individual as a whole.

Children of all ages have a great need for play, and it is very important to use outdoor play not only to improve motor skills, but also to develop all aspects of the child’s personality. A well-thought-out methodology for conducting outdoor games helps to reveal the child’s individual abilities, helps to raise him healthy, cheerful, cheerful, active, able to independently and creatively solve a wide variety of problems.[7]

Thus, the game is one of the complex means of education: it is aimed at comprehensive physical fitness (through direct mastery of the basics of movement and complex actions in changing conditions of collective activity), improving the functions of the body, and the character traits of the players.[8]

For the little ones

For children 1-3 years old, classes in the gym are good. Nursery groups do not use games with competitive elements. All classes in preparatory groups should be health-saving.

Children aged 1-4 years are not yet coordinated, so some fun activities can be dangerous. You need to worry about preventing injuries. The very definition of games for little ones can be briefly formulated: safe, interesting, simple tasks.

For such games, the minimum group is 2-3 children. Meanwhile, music will help you have fun indoors.

The two of us will go to the river,

Let's invite friends.

1. The second child sits on a chair, the remaining child continues to walk. The teacher (parent) reads:

The three of us will go to the river,

It will be more fun!

1. The last child sits on the remaining chair. The game is over when all three children are sitting on their chairs.

The schemes are very different, but it is important to take into account age (it may be indicated in the title of the video). The selection of music used during games should be dominated by light classics and children's songs.

Precautionary measures

When conducting outdoor games, it is worth remembering safety precautions. Failure to comply with safety precautions can lead to injuries and other unpleasant consequences, so it is important to familiarize children with the rules of the game, indicate the territory in which it will be played, tell them what to do if they fall, etc.

Basic rules for outdoor games:

• Play on a safe surface: flat, without unexpected holes or bumps, preferably not too hard. The ideal surface is grassy.
• Do not play outside during or immediately after rain as the ground becomes slippery.
• If the game is played indoors, make sure it is large enough.
• Do not play games near roads or parking lots. The best place is a specially equipped closed area.

• If you use sports equipment (ball, rope, jump rope), make sure it is in good working order and tell your children about the rules of use. Make sure the guys stick to them.
• Check your children's shoes: they should be comfortable, fit firmly on the feet, and not cause difficulties when running. Clothing must also be appropriate. Do not neglect your hat if the game is played outside on a sunny day.
• If necessary, use protection: helmet, knee pads, elbow pads.
• You can prepare water so that the guys can quench their thirst after the game.

If one of the children is injured, provide first aid and, if necessary, take him to a place where he will receive qualified assistance.

Games for schoolchildren

Outdoor games are an opportunity to provide children with comprehensive development. Modern collections for teachers contain an interesting catalog of funny games in the form of exercises, sports and games that develop the imagination.

The importance of physical activity for schoolchildren is colossal.

This is an acquaintance with new concepts, acquiring the skills necessary in life. Of course, when introducing new games by teachers, approval will be required. List of the most important equipment that will come in handy:

• volleyball ball,
• soccer ball,
• plastic skittles,
• gates,
• basketball basket,
• checkbox.

A set of exercises that children perform during the game develops the vestibular apparatus, dexterity, speed and strength. The content and rules are not complicated, but they train your ingenuity.

The number of participants has practically no effect on the game process, but it is desirable that there be at least 10-11 children. Main classification of games:

• plot,
• sports,
• combined.

It is extremely important to choose a game for children that is appropriate for their age and season. After all, for an older child both the workload and tasks will be more difficult.

Didactic materials facilitate the educational process. These can be in the form of brochures, books and videos. All means that help parents and teachers interest modern children are good.

Examples of fun games

“Catch the ball” (for preschoolers - children of primary school age)

Children receive one or more balloons (depending on the number of participants). The guys' task is to prevent the balls from touching the floor, constantly forcing them to fly up.

“The slower you go, the further you go” (for any age)

Two lines are drawn - start and finish (the distance between them is about 30 m). The leader stands at the finish line, the rest at the start. The presenter turns away and says the words:

"The quieter you go, the further you'll get".

While the leader speaks, the rest try to run as far as possible. The presenter, having finished speaking, turns sharply.

At this moment everyone should freeze. The player who does not have time to stop is sent back to the start. The players' task is to get to the finish line as quickly as possible.

"Jumping in bags" (for any age)

The guys are divided into 2 or more teams. Each team has a bag.

Outdoor games are an excellent way to develop skills in a child. While children are having fun and having fun, physical activity has a positive effect on their health, increases endurance and agility, and teaches children how to work as a team. Thus, the child develops while doing what interests him.

Junior schoolchildren

At 6-7 years old, children are accustomed to story-based games, but they need to start introducing sports elements.

At the age of 7-8, children can already play mini-football and hockey (they will need ice at a skating rink), which will allow them to develop running speed and the ability to work in a team. At the age of 7-9, children begin to play classic volleyball.

Active games at home

However, active games are not just an activity for the street. You can organize active leisure time for your child in an apartment. Of course, such fun in a “closed space” is fraught with complications in the form of disorder and broken or broken things, but there are still cases when you cannot do without it. For example, when you want to tear your child away from the computer or TV in bad weather. At the same time, active games can be part of the entertainment program for a children's birthday party. In this case, there are also many options to actively diversify children's leisure time. We must remember to follow safety precautions. Here are examples of several such games:

Game "Ball"

A leader is selected from all those present and throws the inflated ball up. While he is in the air, everyone has complete freedom of action, but when he touches the floor, everyone must freeze. Those who do not have time are eliminated;

Game "Chamomile"

You need to cut out a flower from paper with the number of petals equal to the number of participants in the game. Under each petal there is written some funny task that the one who tears off this petal will have to complete;

"Crocodile"

The point of the game is to guess the word shown by a member of one of the two teams. They guess this word, and also choose a participant who will show it to the opposing team, and the team showing it will guess. You may have to make a lot of effort to prove to your computer genius or homebody that an active pastime is no less interesting. But this should not stop you if you are interested in your child growing up healthy and sociable.

Middle and high school students

Older students will be interested in different games than primary school students. From a pedagogical point of view, it is more difficult to captivate a teenager than younger children.

This task will be easier to cope with if new games are introduced that keep up with the times. Games in nature are especially useful for schoolchildren, because ordinary walks will not provide the necessary physical activity.

Lincoln's snowball blunder

High school students will also want to play an exciting game with a popular plot. Winter fun will captivate every child.

Features: carried out in winter, when there is enough fresh snow and not severe frost, there is sufficient space outside.

Details: a plastic bottle with colored rice (rice is painted with food coloring) will imitate a bottle of holy water; a picture depicting a city map, red and blue ribbons for each participant.

9. The game ends when the president's team has captured the map, or if a third of the werewolves have entered the apartment.

Relay race

Relay races are known in every school; they are held in physical education classes. Conducting relay races improves physical fitness and strengthens the competitive spirit. General principle:

1. Invite children to divide into teams.
2. Form teams into columns at the starting line.
3. On the command “March!” the captain runs (jumps) to the flag, touches it with his hand and returns to the team.
4. Pats the next person in the column on the shoulder, who performs the same actions as the captain, and so on.
5. The winner is the team whose last link returns to the starting line first.

Other games

High school students do athletics and run short distances. But still, they will play football with great pleasure. The purpose of outdoor play is not only to improve physical characteristics, but also to instill a lifelong love of sports.

Examples of plotless games

“Sun-Rain” (For preschoolers)

For this game it is necessary to determine what will be the “house”. They can be chairs, hoops on the ground and other objects located on the site. The presenter says the phrase:

“Sunny, it’s time to go for a walk.” After this, the children run freely around the territory until the leader says: “It’s raining, it’s time to go home.”

At this command, the guys run to the “houses”. You can reduce the number of “houses” with each move to introduce a competitive element into the game.

Then the winner will be the one who reaches the very end.

“Tea, tea - help out!” (for preschoolers – middle-aged children)

The game is played in a limited area. One or more drivers are selected. On command, the children run away. The driver's task is to harass those running away. Those who have been exposed must stand still and shout:

• Tea, tea - help out!

Drivers can guard the harassed player, but should not stand right next to him or hold his hand. To save a participant, simple tasks are suitable: crawl between the legs (if the game is played indoors) or simply touch with your hand.

Any free player can “help out” the victim. The task of the presenters is to catch all the players, the rest - to remain undetected for as long as possible.

“Ring Throwers” ​​(for preschoolers of older groups - middle-aged children)

Several pegs (3–7) are placed at a distance from children (depending on age, you can choose a distance of 1–2.5 m).
Participants take turns throwing rings, the number of which may be 1–2 more than the number of pegs.

The number of hits of each child is counted, and the winner is the most accurate player.
