Since ancient times it is known that regular exercises for the hands and fingers improve the memory and work of internal organs. Also, finger gymnastics is used for the development of speech. Modern psychologists note that if the child's finger movements correspond to the norms of development, then the child does not lag behind in conversational speech.

Children fed,
This is given (bend the little finger)

And this did not give (we pull for the thumb)
You did not cut wood,
I did not wear water,
Kashi did not cook!
