Physical exercise called physical exercises performed by children in a playful way. All actions are entertaining in nature. They are aimed not only at the physical development of the child, but also at receiving positive emotions. Such qualities as discipline, a sense of teamwork and determination are also brought up.
Features of classes
In preschool institutions, sports activities in the older group are held several times a month in the afternoon. Such classes take place on the days of the week when there is no physical education, otherwise children may overwork. Leisure topics depend on the annual plan of the kindergarten.
The subjects of sports activities, the venue and participants are prescribed precisely in the long-term plan of the preschool institution. After the head of physical education got acquainted with the documentation, he draws up a program for each lesson based on the individual characteristics of the children, their age and the conditions provided by the institution. An important point: sports activities in the older group are not educational. Therefore, when planning it, one should proceed from what the children are already trained, and consolidate this knowledge and skills during the lesson.
What to consider?
Sports activities in the senior group are planned on the basis of the educational material that the students completed. Games and exercises performed by children should be varied, that is, do not use too simple actions, as they will not develop the motor skills of the child. As during any physical training session, the difficulty will increase from the very beginning of the session, and in the end it should decrease in order to restore the body after exercise.
Sports activities in the senior group "Fun Ball" is organized in such a way that children have a constant emotional upsurge. For this, games and exercises are alternated so that the occupation is constantly changing. If all the games, for example, are inactive, then the children will get bored quickly, interest will disappear. Important details of any physical leisure activities are participants' costumes, emblems and other paraphernalia. All this creates a special atmosphere that children really like.
Sample topics
Sports activities in the older group are divided into several types:
Cognitive serve the development of mental abilities. Children perform a variety of tasks in which it is necessary to show smartness. Entertainment events include Fun Starter and other similar games, relay races and competitions. Occupations sometimes contain an element of moral and patriotic education. Parents can participate in them. Sample topic: "Dad, Mom, I - a sports family."
Classes can also be devoted to overall health. The scenarios of sports activities and holidays usually do not differ in their structure, only the external design changes.
Small but important details
Used inventory should be selected taking into account not only its belonging to the topic of the lesson, but, more importantly, from the point of view of safety of use. Indeed, during physical leisure activities, a variety of situations can occur in which equipment can be a danger to the health of students.
The choice of music is based on its popularity among kids. Melodies from children's cartoons, popular songs and classical music are the best option. Winning contests is also very important. If we say that friendship has won, and not to single out anyone, as many educators and teachers love, then after each such word, each child disappears in the various competitive games and in the lesson as a whole.
Parent Activities
One of the main goals of attracting parents is to arouse their interest in communicating with children. Sports activities in the older group are about the same plan. It includes the construction of parents and their children, after which the teacher’s welcome speech (in poetic form) is pronounced, and a relay race is organized to raise the emotional mood. Both kids and adults take part in it, jointly performing various tasks.
A typical option is “We are athletes”. Sports activities in the older group include several relay races, tasks with riddles and exercises with elements of gymnastics.
Conclusion
