How to analyze such gymnastics
Like any other structural element of the educational process, invigorating gymnastics requires careful analysis. The purpose of such monitoring is to draw up an overall picture of the effectiveness of measures aimed at promoting the health and general development of children; the analysis allows us to understand whether additional adjustments are needed in the teacher’s approach to this issue. The analysis is carried out once every 2–4 weeks as new complexes are introduced. At the beginning, general information is indicated:
- name of the preschool institution and group,
- teacher's name,
- date of gymnastics,
- children's age,
- number of children in the group.
Awakening gymnastics is part of the work aimed at preserving and strengthening the health of children
Table: sample analysis scheme for invigorating gymnastics
| No. | Gymnastics stage | List and description of exercises | Time frame | Conclusion (were the goals achieved or not, did they meet the allotted time, did all the children succeed) | Notes |
| 1 | Start of the climb, toilet | 3 minutes | Conclusion | (At the discretion of the teacher) | |
| 2 | Exercises in bed | (List specifically and describe) | Conclusion | (At the discretion of the teacher) | |
| 3 | Exercises near the bed (including walking on massage mats) | (List specifically and describe) | 1–2 minutes | Conclusion | (At the discretion of the teacher) |
| 4 | Outdoor game | (List specifically and describe) | 2 minutes | Conclusion | (At the discretion of the teacher) |
Daytime naps help children aged 1.5 to 3 years old regain strength after various types of activity, and also allow them to get used to their new life in kindergarten. Methodically well-constructed invigorating gymnastics allows you to carefully integrate it into the general daily routine, which is necessary for the harmonious organization of the pedagogical process.
Time plan
To maintain a positive attitude, invigorating gymnastics must fit within a certain time frame. For children 1.5–3 years old, the distribution of time for each stage of work will be as follows:
- exercises in cribs - 2-3 minutes,
- exercises near the cribs (including walking on massage mats) – 1–2 minutes,
- outdoor game - 2 minutes.
Small children have difficulty waking up, so more time is allocated for exercise in their cribs. At the same time, the increase in the number of minutes occurs due to a slowdown in the pace of task completion, and not an increase in the number of loads.
