Round-the-clock games for preschoolers

Round dance games and songs are part of the pedagogical practice that originated and developed together with our civilization and culture. It is interesting that initially the Russian folk dance games were not intended for children, they were akin to a ritual dance, with an element of magical plots taking their origins in paganism. In the course of time, the developing and teaching functions of such round-the-clock games were noticed, and circus games for preschool children became very popular. The main thing in such games is the ability to move rhythmically, sing and play, like adults, while being children.


Round-playing in the kindergarten

As a rule, in pre-school educational institutions the development of round dance games begins early. Literally from the age of 2 kids are taught to become in a circle, to join hands and move on it, without getting lost in the party or in the center, which is still an uneasy task for them.

In the younger group, where 3-4-year-old children are, the training of round-the-clock games for toddlers continues. At the same time adults mainly sing: the educator, the musical director, one of the parents, and the children focus their attention on the movement in the text. With time, having learned the movements, they try to sing along. In order for children to better learn the game, it must be repeated every day at least once until the kids remember the sequence of actions and words. It is possible to organize mobile round-the-clock games during a walk or exercise, the main thing is that the children like them, and they gladly took part in them.

Moving game "mice lead dance"

Educator: Today we will play the game "Mice lead round dance". What mice? What do they like to do? (to run, jump, have fun). Show! (the children show). How do they squeak? What happens if the mouse sees a cat? (they will get scared, they will run away quickly-quickly). We will all be mice. A cat-Vaska will be ... (chooses a cat child).

Educator (turning to the child-cat): Show me how the cat meows. What are his claws? How does he catch up with the mouse?

The teacher takes the cat child to the house.

Appeals to all children: "We are mice, we will dance, run, play, have fun, but as soon as Vaska-cat wakes up, immediately run up so that the cat does not catch you . "

Moving game progress:

The adult sings, and the children quietly move and sing along with the adult:

Mice lead a round dance:

La-la-la!

The cat sleeps on the stove.

La-la-la!

Hush, mouse, do not make a noise,

Do not wake Kota Vaska!

Wash-cat will wake up -

Our dance will break up!

Mice do not obey, run, squeak.

Vaska-cat woke up,

The dance was running!

The cat runs after the mouse: "Meow-meow-meow!"

"Mice" run away. At the request of children, the game is repeated 2-3 times.

Round-playing game "Karavai"

Participants form a circle around the birthday, take their hands and start to dance, saying the text and performing the appropriate movements:

As on ... (name of the originator of the celebration) birthday (birthday or other celebrated event)

We examined the loaf: These are the height (raise your hands up),

Here such a nizhiny (sit down, touch the floor with your hands),

That's the width (the participants go to the sides),

Here are such dinners (converge to the center of the circle)!

Karavai, loaf (all clap their hands), Whom you love, choose!

The birthday girl says: I love everyone, of course, But ... (the name of the participant) is the most!

After that, the new "birthday boy" stands in a circle, and the circle moves again, the text repeats itself. To people not get bored, you can hold several such "elections" and choose in turn all the guests, and at the end once again, the culprit of the celebration rises.

Round-playing game "Carousel"

Participants with hoops become in a circle. Each child holds on to his and the neighbor's hoop, forming a vicious circle. At the word "Let's go!" to walk, at the signal "Run!" - to run, at the signal "Jumping!" - move with a step, in words: "Hush, quiet, do not rush, stop the carousel!" go to quiet walking and stop. When they say "Let's rest!" Everyone puts the hoops on the floor and diverge in different directions. Hearing the signal "Carousel gets started!" , Everyone runs to the hoops, quickly take them. The game repeats itself.

Round-playing games are a kind of tool that helps children learn to control their body, build joint synchronized movements. So, with regular classes for 4-5 years, the kids are already free to move in the dance to the music, sing and perform accompanying movements.
