Importance of outdoor games for preschoolers.

Let's talk about outdoor games for preschoolers. Why are they so important for children? The more games an adult offers, the more satisfying the vital needs of the little ones.

SourceOutdoor play for preschoolers is a natural way to develop movement coordination and fine motor skills.

Swings for children and rocking chairs are the favorite entertainment for children. Swings, which are attached to the support by ropes or metal chains, are especially popular with children. Such oscillations allow to change the trajectory of the movement, unrolling around its axis.

SourcePlaying, the child not only becomes agile. Learn to listen, to be attentive, to follow certain rules, to coordinate movements and, of course, to find mutual understanding with children and to be friends. Outdoor games are especially important for shy children, as they help to overcome their shyness. In the game, children forget their limitations and begin to play actively.

The outdoor games for preschoolers are divided into games without plot, plot and fun. But, in any case, games should have easy rules. It is important to choose such games for children that correspond to the level of their development, since they will not turn out to be primitive or, on the contrary, very difficult.

It is also important that the child plays outdoor games with other babies under the guidance or with the participation of adults. It should be remembered that children receive the most injuries during games.

The game of mobile objects helps children to consolidate ideas and knowledge about the phenomena and objects of the surrounding world. For example, on various means of transport (trains, planes, automobiles) and the ability to use them, on the characteristics of their movement, on the habits of various birds and animals, etc.

Mobile game for preschoolers "birds in nests"

SourceThe game can involve as many children as the playground allows. The children sit in chairs, placed in the corners of the room, this is their "nest". At the leader's signal, all the "birds" fly towards the center of the room, bend over, "look for the grains," take off again, move the handles and wings. After the command "Birds, in the nest!" Children must return to their chairs. It is important that children act on the team.

The game "The cat and the mouse" is designed for children from one and a half to three years.

SourceChildren sit on benches or high chairs. This is a "mouse in the burrows". On the other side of the site there is a "cat", the role of a cat is performed by an adult. The "cat" fell asleep (closes his eyes) and the "mice" are scattered around the room or area. But suddenly, the "cat" wakes up and starts to catch "mice". The "mice" escape and hide in burrows (they occupy their chairs). Cat trapped mice for himself.

For children of four or five years, you can offer the game "Semaphore"

SourceThe circles cut (diameter 12 cm) green, red and yellow, are attached to the sticks. The children perform the exercise according to the teacher's signal: they squat on red, march green on green and jump yellow.
For accumulated errors penalty points. Who will be wrong less times and the winner.
Do not forget other types of educational games, such as playing with water or sand.

And yet, when organizing outdoor games for preschoolers, keep in mind that children get tired quickly of the same type of game, get used to something alone and get bored. Therefore, the rules in the games change periodically.
