Then it will not cause negative emotions and fatigue, but, on the contrary, will turn into pleasure.
For your information! It is important to choose sets of exercises according to the age and capabilities of preschoolers.
What to do if your muscles hurt after gymnastics
Typically, muscle pain appears as a reaction to excessive exercise. However, children's gymnastics does not involve an abundance of strength exercises, so there should be no pain in the muscles. If the load corresponds to the child’s age, but pain still appears, then perhaps the reason is the following:
- lack of water increases the likelihood of muscle spasms, so make sure that the child drinks water before exercise and that the room is not too hot;
- perhaps the problem is a lack of potassium and magnesium, so review the children's diet and add foods containing these microelements to it: beans, dried apricots, buckwheat, potatoes, spinach, pumpkin, oranges;
- muscle and joint pain may appear as a harbinger of a viral infection.
There is no need to stop exercising, as physical exercise speeds up metabolism and improves muscle condition. You just need to reduce the intensity of the load. A massage and a warm shower will help relieve excess muscle tension.
Important! The cause of pain can be not just overexertion, but muscle rupture. Then any movement in this area will cause acute pain. If this happens, you should definitely consult a doctor.
To ensure that charging brings only positive results, follow these simple tips:
- Remember that exercise should be regular, as muscle pain occurs if you begin to exercise intensively after prolonged inactivity.
- Pay attention to chronic illnesses and health conditions: If you have any chronic illness, discuss your planned exercise routine with your doctor. If your child is lethargic, has a sore throat, headache, or other signs of an impending infection, postpone activities until he or she has recovered.
- Don't force it. Exercises are done, among other things, to create a positive emotional background. And if on some day the little man refuses to do the exercises, then don’t push. Analyze the reasons: perhaps the movements are too difficult, perhaps the child is tired and cannot gather his strength, or he is simply tired of doing the same thing. Talk about the reasons for failure, make adjustments and try again.
- Follow the order of the exercises: light warm-up movements first, and then the main part.
Principles of gymnastic complexes
Morning exercises in kindergartens for preschool children were compiled by specialists. Complexes in children's educational institutions are carried out according to the principles:
- Accessibility: tasks and games correspond to the physical training of students, explanations and demonstrations of exercises are clear.
- Effectiveness and benefits: gymnastics develops preschoolers and improves their health.
- Positive: preschoolers do UG for a great mood; if the child is not inclined to exercise (sick, upset), he should not be forced to do the exercises.
Dance rhythmic gymnastics for preschoolers with game elements
For gymnastics to become a habit among preschoolers, it must interest them and evoke only positive emotions. To ensure students’ persistent motivation for classes, the teacher must choose interesting exercises, conduct them in the form of a game, or use original equipment.

Methods for doing exercises in kindergarten
Carrying out an educational session is a responsible process, since the work involves children. Exercises for children in preschool educational institutions should be performed either by a physical instructor in the gym, or directly by a teacher directly in the group. According to the rules, UG is carried out half an hour before the first meal.

Duration recommendations
UG in each kindergarten group differs not only in duration, but also in the nature of certain exercises. Recommendations:
- The duration of the lesson in the younger group of kindergarten should not be more than 5 minutes. To make it interesting for students, exercises should take place in the form of a game with jokes and jokes. For example, kids can be asked to walk like a bear, a fox or a horse. Hula hoops, cubes and maracas are suitable for performing exercises.
- In the middle kindergarten group, the training course lasts 6 minutes. The structure of the exercise is a little more complicated than the previous one; you can add ribbons and balls as objects for exercise.
- Pupils in the senior group of kindergarten have excellent memory, so the GC can be carried out without the participation of a teacher. The teacher only has to show them how to practice once. Recommended equipment includes pigtail cords, balls, hoops and sticks. The complex can include dancing and rhythm. Lesson duration is approximately 10 minutes.
- The training session in the preparatory group of the kindergarten lasts 12 minutes and, by and large, repeats the complex of the senior group. The equipment used is jumping ropes and dumbbells. In addition, some sports elements using a wall bars can be added to the complex.
How to organize children for morning exercises
In addition to the game theme, the teacher can use other techniques to attract children to the UG. Expressive language, engaging content and positivity will help motivate students. You can play it so that they want to exercise on their own, become healthier and stronger.
An original approach will help motivate you to do morning exercises at a preschool educational institution. For example, a teacher can invite all the children to visit Winnie the Pooh, and to get there, you need to jump three times and smile. This element of the game will attract the children, and they will definitely fulfill all the conditions.
At preschool age, all children are very inquisitive. They are interested in how animals move, flowers grow and what is happening on the planet. Experienced teachers use this to organize effective exercises. They come up with a lot of playful exercises for children to exercise in the morning with the connection of characters and fictional characters.
Breathing exercises for children in the senior group of kindergarten
Important! If a child has a certificate stating that physical activity is temporarily contraindicated for him (these are issued after an illness), you can offer him to be the presenter or observe the process from the bench.
Kinds
There are several types of charging. Its variety helps to change the type of activity to another and give the child a break if he is tired of one or another exercise or is still finding it difficult.
Fun exercise for children
This activity takes the form of a game and is ideal for children from two to three years old. This age is ideal to start introducing them to sports. At this time, children are extremely restless, so why not channel their energy in the right direction? Moreover, everyone loves games, and they help develop ingenuity and an analytical mind.
Warm-up exercises
This type of sports activity does not mean a full-fledged workout, but a short warm-up, which perfectly helps to cheer up, recover from sleep and tune in for the coming day.
Power charging
Yes, no matter how paradoxical it may sound, children also need to be given a certain load in order to develop their muscles and endurance. The main purpose of this type of exercise is to use certain muscle groups during exercise.
In the case of children, strength exercises include running, lifting toys, jumping, and so on.
A set of exercises for UG
Typically, gymnastic exercises in preschool educational institutions are carried out according to a prepared plan. What a standard complex looks like:
- The lesson begins with walking in place or running in a circle. Children can walk and run in a column around the room or veranda, then in pairs or one at a time. You need to run in all directions to finish this block.
- Then the children swing their arms up and down, sideways and in a circle. This helps strengthen the shoulder muscles.
- Next, gymnastics is performed for the muscles of the lower extremities. The guys swing their legs, move them one by one to the side, lift them, bend them and stand them straight. Squats are a must.
- Why are body tilts and turns involved? These exercises are used to strengthen the back and torso.
The exercise ends with light walking in place, breathing exercises or finger games.

Recommendations
Before starting classes with children, the following circumstances should be considered:
- You are dealing with a growing, not yet fully formed organism, which has fragile bones, so calculate your strength and do not put a strong load;
- Choose exercises that involve only smooth movements. Avoid harshness;
- Always consider the order of charging steps and do not ignore them;
Even in exercises, be systematic and orderly. That is, start with exercises for the upper body and end with the lower body.
Texts for exercises in preschool educational institutions
The goal of the UG is to unite students and establish good relationships between them. The children study together, and this brings them closer together. Therefore, it is very important to do group exercises every day, thanks to which the baby will become stronger and more sociable. Rhythmic exercises are excellent to combine with entertaining poems. For this purpose, special text material has been developed. Students will enjoy practicing while listening to poetry. The texts are simple; by pronouncing them faster or slower, you can speed up the pace of your lessons or, conversely, slow them down.
Poems for gymnastics
Having learned gymnastic exercises in poetic form, children will be able to do exercises on their own without the help of a teacher, focusing on the meaning of the poem. And if adults also perform the exercise together with preschoolers, then the child is more likely to feel the significance and benefit that it can bring to everyone. In addition, poetry helps to develop.
Important! To begin with, you can try to learn the poem “Potyagushki”.
