The physical education of children plays a huge role in their future. After all, it is precisely in childhood that the foundation of health, mental abilities, and social skills is laid. As Feldenkrais Moshe said: “Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process, and you will improve life itself.”
Each parent should pay attention to the physical development of the child from his very birth. It can be gymnastics, swimming, outdoor games. It is necessary to give the baby maximum freedom when he crawls, jumps, runs. This will strengthen all the basic systems of the body, immunity, expand its horizons, because in active activity a person not only develops physically, but also cognizes the world around him, stimulates mental processes.
Physical education of children is not only their parents, but also all the states of the world. In schools, a physical education lesson is mandatory, there are many circles, sports schools. In places of children's recreation, special attention is paid to sports. We all remember fascinating relay races for
children in the camp.Sports games play a special role, they arouse children's interest and love for physical exercises, teach them to work in a team, make friends, strive for victory and accept defeat with dignity.
For many years, this type of children's holiday, like summer camps, has been popular. Classic leisure options there (hiking, an evening bonfire, river rafting) are now not so in demand. Today, in connection with the increasing requirements for education, camps have appeared with musical, linguistic, and artistic biases. Nevertheless,
sports relay races for children in the camp remain classics of the genre and a favorite pastime of children.
Sports games ideally take place outdoors, in a wooded area or on the beach. Relays for children in the camp are very interesting, usually competitions are held between groups in the same age category. Each team should come up with its own name and slogan, and already at this stage the children become more united. After the presentation of "business cards", the competitions begin directly.
There are many options for competitions: jumping in bags, running with a glass of water, a ball or other equipment, an obstacle course. In general, everything for which the organizers have enough imagination and opportunity.
Thinking over such games, it should be borne in mind that relay tasks for children of 5 years are significantly different from competitions for adults. For kids, you need to come up with something easy and, most importantly, safe.
When developing a relay scenario for children, it is better to refuse to run with any equipment. For preschoolers, such tasks as running to an object, jumping, climbing under it, shifting something and returning are suitable. Or run in one direction, and come back, jumping, crawling, back forward, etc.
Relays for children in the camp should be fun, physically simple and not take too much time. The tasks of the competitions should be easily feasible, because the most important purpose of sports games is to sow the seed of love for sports in children's hearts!
