"A child's mind is at his fingertips"
V. Sukhomlinsky

Which adult has not noticed how children love to play with words? The child still does not pronounce the words, suddenly a sound suddenly breaks out, and now he is already repeating it in every way - he is humming. How much joy in the eyes of a child while walking! He plays with sound.

Then, playing with the word, children begin to understand their native language, learn its structure, and learn colloquial speech. It is no coincidence that almost all folk rhymes are built on dialogues. Kids love rhymed speech, its sound, they experience great pleasure when poetry is read to them.

We bring to your attention a collection of poems and nursery rhymes for finger games. Every mother can play these games with her baby. Many of these games came to us from grandmothers, so any mother has an idea how to play them. Indeed, in these games, the intonation with which the nursery rhymes are read, and the movements of the hands and fingers are also important.

"Dariki - mosquitoes"
- the game is at the same time simple, educational and bright: to depict mosquitoes, the hands are folded in a pinch and describe circles, while the invariably delightful sound “W-z-z-z-z-z!” is emitted, and then it is explained that the mosquitoes “curled- circling - on the cheeks (or somewhere else) grabbed - bite-bite-bite-bite! A slight pinching of the named part of the body with the words “kus-kus” is also liked by most children and makes them laugh.

Gifts, gifts,
Hey mosquitoes!
Curled, twisted,
Curled, twisted,
They grabbed the nose!
Got it in the ear!
Got caught in the hair!
Got on the knees!
- Mosquitoes bit us. Let's run them:
-Shoo-shoo-shoo!

What is this bush?
Standing, hands in front of the chest in the "castle"

What is that crunch?
The bush “springed out”, grew up - the hands are connected only by the bases of the palms and fingertips. We turn the palms slightly in the opposite direction and at the same time make a crunch as we can (throat, tongue, cheeks ...) Children really like it!

How can I be without a crunch,
Here our "cabbage" grows and becomes the size of a ring from the hands, the tips of the fingers are connected above the head. As a warm-up, you can check your posture in this position and feel every muscle in your back.

If I am a cabbage?

We chop cabbage, chop,
“Chop cabbage” on the surface of an imaginary table with the edges of the palms. An adult during the pronunciation of this line may well “chop the cabbage” from one edge of the table to the other and back, the distance between the edges is about 60 cm. It is enough for children to chop in one place.

We salt cabbage, salt,
Both hands are folded with a pinch and "salt". If you are also warming up, you can “salt” a large surface (arms move back and forth).

We mash cabbage, mash
We clench and unclench our fists

And three, three carrots,
Three palms together - for training, hold them at chest level and press on the palms with force, this exercise strengthens the chest.

Pe-re-me-shi-va-em!
Mix - in a horizontal plane.

We fill the barrels tightly
Palm in the palm of your hand, “knead” the cabbage, not bending over, but bending and straightening your elbows - also watch your pectoral muscles if you are warming up.

And we make up the cellars.
In the same position, we bend deeply and put folded palms on the floor.

Oh, delicious cabbage!
We straighten up and stroke ourselves on the stomach.

"Building a Wall"
(based on the developments of Ekaterina Burmistrova)
1.
Building a wall

Higher, higher
We hold straight palms horizontally in front of us (the little finger of each is looking down, the thumb is up, the inner surface of the palms is facing the chest), we alternately put the “lower” palm on the “upper”, imitating brickwork.

2.
We've made it to the roof!
By the time these words are pronounced, the “wall” should “grow” approximately to the eyes. We add a gable roof from the palms: the ridge is the touching tips of the middle fingers, the slopes are the palms and forearms.

3.
Whose roof is higher?

Higher, higher, higher!
Folded hands reach-reach-reach up! Adults, keep your spine stretched with your arms! (one girl even stood on a chair so that her roof was higher!)

4.
We cut through the window

And a cat door

And a hole for the mouse:

Pee-pee-pee-pee!
Called holes are depicted with thumbs and forefingers: a large quadrangle, an arch, a small round hole. The lines about the mouse are pronounced in a thin voice.

"Views"
First - large Views - twist with fists.

I'm beating mallets! (banging fists against each other)
I'm nailing, I'm nailing!
Then - small Views - with fingers.
Views, views, views, views!
I'm beating mallets!
I'm nailing, I'm nailing!

"House"
Knock, knock, knock,
there is a knock somewhere.
Hammers knock, build a house for rabbits (we knock on each other with fists).
Here with such a roof (palms over your head).
Here with such walls (palms near the cheeks).
Here with such windows (palms in front of the face).
Here with such a door (one palm in front of the face.)
And with such a lock (hooked handles).
There is a lock on the door.
Who could open it?
Turned over
Twisted
knocked,
And - opened! (handles unhooked)

"At the Mill"
At the mill, on the spindle (we twist brushes around each other),
2 crucians fought (we touch the fingertips of both hands several times),
that's the whole fairy tale (shrug).

"Fingers"
This finger is a grandmother.
This finger is dad
This finger is mom
This finger is me
That's my whole family!

*
This finger went to the forest.
This finger - mushroom found.
This finger - took place.
This finger will lie tight.
This finger - ate a lot,
That's why he got pissed off.

*
(Bend fingers)

This finger wants to sleep
This finger went to bed
This finger just took a nap
This finger is already asleep.
This one is fast asleep.
Quiet! Hush, don't make noise!
The red sun will rise
The clear morning will come.
The birds will chirp
Fingers will rise!
(fingers flex)

"The flower has blossomed"
The fingers are clenched into a fist. Each finger alternately straightens and moves to the side, like the petals of a flower, the thumb and little finger straighten at the same time. This exercise can be performed differently: the palms of both hands are raised up and pressed against each other with the tips of the fingers and the bases of the palms - the flower is closed. The fingers of the same name on both hands are simultaneously retracted - the flower has blossomed.
We have in the front garden
Near the terrace
grow blue
Pansies.
Pansies,
Pansies,
They are blooming
Fast, like in a fairy tale.
(3. Aleksandrova).

"Spider"
The spider weaves, weaves its cobweb,
the cobweb, though thin, firmly holds the moth.
The web breaks, the moth laughs

"Spider - 2"
The spider walked along the branch, and the children followed him.
Rain from the sky suddenly poured,
washed the spider to the ground.
The sun began to warm
the spider went again
and all the children followed him to walk along the branch.

"Okay"
almonds, almonds,
grandmother baked pancakes,
poured oil,
gave the kids:
Masha is two, and Danya is two. Dima is two and mom is two.

"Snail".
Finger game with correct movements. True, it does not give correct knowledge about snails, but, strictly speaking, this is not required from finger games.
Snail-snail, Open the gate, get out of the house, Let's get to know each other! Hands at chest level: one palm is clenched into a fist, the other covers it - this is a snail shell. When the quatrain is read, we quickly push the fist “out” - now the fist is not hidden, but lies on the forearm of the other hand, but the wrist behind the fist is tightly gripped by the palm of the other hand.
Snail-snail, Stick out the horns, Ladies of the pie! Unclench two fingers of the fist. It is better if you unclench your little finger and ring finger - the “snail” will look more like. If your child unclenches, for example, the index and middle, or even all fingers, do not correct.
Snail-snail, let's go for a walk! On these words, the snail does nothing - it listens to you and decides what to answer (not for long).
- They crawled, crawled, crawled ... The "snail" crawls along the forearm, then along the shoulder. Naturally, she cannot drag the “shell” behind her, the “shell” has quietly disappeared.
- Ouch! Ticklish! I'll go to another snail! (When repeated - goodbye, snails!) "Horns" tickle the ear or neck. Repeat all the same, hands change roles.

"Caterpillar"
1. Caterpillar, caterpillar, The palm of one hand "crawls" like a caterpillar, folding and unbending, along the inside of the other hand from the shoulder joint to the fingertip. (Not vice versa, because the caterpillar crawled onto a blade of grass from the ground!)
2. Butterfly's daughter, "crawls" back to the shoulder along the outside of the arm
3. It crawls along the blades of grass, We do the same, changing hands: “from the root to the top”
4. Eats leaves: And on the other side back.
5. Am!
Am!
Am!
Am! Place your palms together in front of you. With every word "Am!" one palm slides up on the other palm and “bites” with all fingers except the thumb, the straight fingers of the other palm. Then the palms change roles. Adults, as a warm-up, can “bite” the palm firmly, while intensively bending her fingers back.
6. Ate - We stop, palms folded together relax
7. I wanted to sleep. ... one clenches into a fist, the other covers it - holds a fist like an apple.
8. Woke up - Gradually straighten our palms ...
9. Turned into a butterfly! We cross our hands in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe wrists, the palms are now butterfly wings.
10. Flew, flew, flew! We wave "wings" (wrists or forearms are crossed, the left palm waves near the right shoulder and vice versa). You can gradually unbend your elbows so that the butterfly flies up or into the distance.

*
Logopedic finger game.

I inflated an elastic ball (you inflate a ball from the handles).
A mosquito bit him.
The balloon burst is not a problem -
I will inflate a new ball.

*
This nursery rhyme not only develops fine motor skills of the hands, but also teaches counting.

This house has five floors:
On the first floor lives a family of hedgehogs,
On the second lives a family of rabbits,
On the third - a family of red squirrels,
On the fourth, a tit lives with chicks,
On the fifth, an owl is a very smart bird.
Well, it's time for us to go back down:
On the fifth owl
On the fourth tit
Belchata on the third
Bunnies - the second,
On the first hedgehogs, we will come to them.

*
We cooked soup-soup (rub hands together)
From pearl barley groats (rubbing palms)
It turned out porridge (rub hands)
That is our grief (grabbing our heads)
They kneaded the dough (they banged their fists on the table if they were sitting at the table and on their knees if they were just sitting)
And it doesn’t move (keep your hands at rest)
Kneaded on the trembling (knocking again)
You can't hold on to the reins!!! (we spread our arms to the sides, as if we want to hold)

- a thing absolutely necessary for a mother raising a baby. Beyond development fine motor skills, this is a great way to distract and amuse the child, because at the heart of each game is a nursery rhyme or a poem. And if there are many children in the family, finger gymnastics often becomes the favorite game of the elders with the younger ones. We have collected 12 games for different ages repeatedly tested by experienced teachers in their classes.

Many parents know that finger gymnastics is needed for all kids and preschoolers. AT modern world, with its ready-made toys and an abundance of household appliances, children's fingers get less and less useful work. Finger games come to the rescue - they develop dexterity, mobility, Creative skills, attention and reaction speed, and funny poems help to remove nervous tension. Toddlers who regularly do finger gymnastics speak better, learn to write faster, have a good memory, develop coordination of movements, and calm down after stress more quickly.

Finger gymnastics is very good as a daily independent game lesson with a baby. Many teachers and speech therapists use finger gymnastics in their developmental classes as a physical activity, rest and change of activity. Finger games are also great for children's holidays - they are easy to include in the script, it is convenient to intersperse contests with them, standing up with the kids in a round dance.

The game "Ladushki" is familiar to absolutely everyone: both old people and little ones who are only six months old. Speech and finger games for kids are very popular today and are not limited to just “patties”. If you wish, you will find a lot of them and you can choose something new every day. This is also good because the baby can get bored with the same game for a long time. And when you offer your child daily new game with an interesting rhyme, he will certainly like it, he will rejoice and listen to you carefully.

The benefits of finger games

To begin with - about the most important thing. Appearing into this world, the baby begins to intensively explore the world. Let him sleep most of the time, his brain works, absorbing a lot new information. Baby's skin is the whole world. It is with her and with the help of his hands that he masters and gets acquainted with environment. Touching his pajamas or diapers in a dream, he remembers this thing precisely by the way it feels to the touch. And even getting older, it is no less important for him to learn the world tactilely, to get acquainted with the people around him, to become closer to mom and dad. Finger games will help parents become best friends for your child.

How finger and speech games affect the behavior and development of the child

Like other activities, finger games for kids are very important. Firstly, it is contact with parents (grandparents, caregivers), which is mandatory for a child at this age. Secondly, it is useful for the development of speech. Thirdly, children's finger games for toddlers will help him learn to concentrate on a particular subject or activity, he will not grow absent-minded. Fourthly, he will know himself in some way, see what his hands are capable of, remember what his mother does, and try to repeat after her. And finally, fifthly, this a great opportunity distract the baby. Often a young mother does not have the opportunity to leave the child with someone. She always has to take it with her wherever she goes. For example, collect documents for registration child allowance. And children up to a year should visit the pediatrician every month. As all moms know, the queue to see him can drag on for an hour or two, or even more. Finger games for kids will distract the child at least for a while so that he does not act up, cry and demand to leave this institution.

Have you ever noticed how a baby reacts when someone tells him a rhyme? He immediately pays attention to this person, listens, he becomes interested. In time with the narrator, he can begin to dance or make arbitrary movements with his hands. The thing is that little mischievous people are very fond of rhythmic speech, so “voice accompaniment” is a must. In addition, it helps to improve the level of speech. Simple movements of the fingers and hands will not cause such delight in him as the same movements, only accompanied by rhymes.

It may surprise you, but how and when the child speaks directly depends on the movements of the fingers. Therefore, finger games for babies up to a year old are a combination of business with pleasure.

This is important: you must pronounce the words as clearly as possible, but at the same time beautifully, with expression, changing intonation so that the child likes it, so that it is easier for him to remember. Watch what the baby is doing while you are telling him the rhyme. If he is not yet trying to talk, but he can already repeat some movement on his own, for example, wave his arms when you talk about the flapping of wings, then he has already remembered something, he just cannot tell yet.

Why can't you do a lot?

Always remember that finger games, which affect the development of the child on the good side, put a tremendous strain on the child's brain. Dose these games. If your child keeps a daily routine, set aside some time for developmental activities, but in the literal sense, do not flirt.

A kid who is just starting to learn everything he needs in this life does not have as much strength as you do. It seems to you that these games are innocent, that there is no harm from them. But you forget that you are big and he is very small. For example, compare how much you usually eat and how much your child eats. There is a difference? Roughly speaking, if the child eats as much as you, his tummy will hurt a lot. The same thing happens with the information he received: if there is too much of it, his head will be bad.

What are finger and speech games for toddlers?

Although the games themselves are a kind of gymnastics for the fingers, there are also special exercises that improve the fine motor skills of the child's hands. We will talk about this later, but now we will find out what finger games are, what movements are made during them, and whether it will be difficult for a child to do all this.

Finger games for the little ones

All finger games are a combination of a rhyme with the actions of hands and fingers imitating this or that action. For example, when the phrase “snow falls” comes across, you should touch the baby’s palms with the pads of your fingers; when the “birds have flown”, you must help the baby imitate the movement of the wings with his handles; when the spider “ran”, you must run your fingers along the baby’s handle and so on.

There are games in which one of the adults plays the main role. That is, he must, telling a rhyme, show something on himself or on a baby. As a rule, such games are intended for very young toddlers, who still find it difficult to control their hands, but it is very interesting to watch what an adult is doing. The child tries to catch the mother's hand or even repeat some movement after her. The rest of the finger games for children under one year old involve the actions of the baby. In this case, the mother helps the child to do something.

What is the point of these exercises?

It would seem that the child clings to his mother's hand, probes with his fingers. This is important both from the psychological side and from the side of the development of the child. Hand contact between an adult and a baby means a lot for the child to trust him. Moreover, it is the contact of his hand with the hand of another child, caregiver or relative that forms the baby's self-confidence.

Some finger games will teach the little one to count. In others, he will have to act on his own, developing his independence and improving his movements with his hands. Still others will teach you to distinguish between the right and left handles, the little man will understand when and which handle is more convenient for him to use. The fourth will develop the ability to memorize - very soon the child will be able to tell all those rhymes that you told him during the game. And with the help of fifths, he will understand where the bottom is, and where the top is.

For some games, you can draw faces on your fingertips to make it even more fun, or even arrange a real theater by buying toys that you can put on your hand or fingers.

Finger games for babies from 6 months to a year

It was at this time, in the very middle of the first year of a toddler's life, that his brain is most receptive to the signals that his hands give him. Therefore, in this period of life it is very important to pay attention to what the child touches, to give him more objects of different textures, different sizes and shapes. This is one of the reasons why basically all finger games are for babies from 6 months old. And if he is less than six months old, finger games for kids will not be so interesting to him. He just won't understand what you want from him. However, there is a high probability that these games will amuse him, especially if the mother laughs, smiles, plays facial expressions on her face and makes slow hand movements.

Before the age of one, children are not very good at making movements corresponding to the words. In any case, the baby must be praised for his achievements, let him show other relatives what he has learned to do and how well he does it.

"Forty-white-sided" and "Orange" - funny Games which you can play with your child. Should be not only exciting, but also educational finger games for kids. 1-2 years old is the age when such games will also be interesting. Do not forget to buy rubber squeaky toys for children. You can come up with some small poem, for example: “You, kitten (duckling, chicken, calf), don’t eat, go look for your mother,” and at this moment the child must squeeze the toy so that it squeaks. Hands also need to be developed, do not get hung up on fingers alone.

If we talk about fingers, there is a game that is called that. It's interesting, but very long. Such speech and finger games for toddlers can tire the child. Periodically change the handles - first the right, then the left, and so on. There is no need to continue the game, if you see that the child is tired, it is better to switch to something else.

Also, babies like when the song sounds. If you can, it's better to sing a verse instead of a story. You will see, the baby will laugh loudly or just listen to you very carefully.

Finger games for babies from 1 year old

The variety of finger games is pleasantly surprising, and if parents are creative people, then all kinds of children's fun can be invented independently. And now let's remember our favorite "Ladushki" - finger games for kids. There are several options.

The rhymes are very easy to remember, they are fun and combined with interesting movements that are not difficult to repeat. You can even call these finger games for kids win-win and useful, as we have seen.

No less famous than Ladushki is a game about a horned goat. You may even remember how your parents played it with you when you were little. This verse also has more than one version. Most likely, each parent will tell it in their own way.

Such finger games for kids under 2 years old will cause them an attack of fun, they will laugh, delighting mom and dad, and then trying to gore them too.

Finger gymnastics

Gymnastics is required not only for the body, but also for the hands, especially for children. Finger games for kids 1-3 years old will help you do such gymnastics. Consider popular exercises.

• The child should put the hands with their palms down on the table, and then separate and connect the fingers together.
• Palm-cam-edge of the palm - repeat several times.
• Now the fingers of both hands should greet - big with big, and so on - one, two, three, four, five.
• The child should run his fingers on the table - index and middle. First one hand, then the other.
• And now the same movement as the previous one, only with both hands at once.
• Extend the index finger and little finger, first on one handle, then on the second.
• Now the previous movement with both hands.
• Form two circles by connecting the index and thumb, and connect the circles together.
• Stretch up the middle and index fingers. Big, little finger and ring finger - put together.
• Raise both hands, turn palms to face. Spread your fingers wide.

This gymnastics is finger games for kids. 2-3 years old is the age when children are actively addicted to such games. For children under two years of age, such exercises can be difficult to perform. And why, if they have a lot of interesting games with rhymes.

Are there finger games for 5 month olds, you ask? There is, one of them is "We are building a house for the gnomes." For her, you need to prepare several cubes, blocks, in general, something from which it will be possible to “build a house”. To begin with, show the baby a bar, then put it next to it and start a story in verse about how a house for gnomes is being built. It is useful for concentration - the child will observe what you are doing. He will try to repeat his mother's movements, that is, to build a house. It is unlikely that he will succeed, but you still have to praise him for his efforts and attentiveness.

"Building a house for the gnomes" and similar finger games for babies up to a year will arouse the interest of the child. During the game, also observe how the child relates to objects, whether he tries to grab them. Pay special attention to how the baby tries to take the cubes. If he fails, help him by opening his fingers more. And then he can do it on his own.

Finger games for toddlers 3 years old and older children are no less interesting. The child will memorize the names of any objects, if in a normal situation it is difficult for him to do this, and develop his speech, replenishing his vocabulary. Even though three-year-olds usually talk quite well, this does not mean that they will not be interested in finger games for toddlers.

What effect does finger gymnastics and games have on a child?

The kid will develop his speech skills, try to pronounce words and sounds better, more clearly and faster. This is important for the development of his correct speech.

Influence on perseverance and attention. Having interested the child in a game or gymnastic exercises, you will notice that he observes the actions calmly, sitting in one place and trying to remember what you are showing him.

Finger gymnastics is useful for the child to learn to control his movements. This is a kind of way to know the world, to learn how to interact with other people, as well as objects, which is no less important. Thanks to such games, the child learns to perceive not only the world that surrounds him, but also himself in this space.

During the game, the baby's hands can turn into anyone, from a small bird to a big bear. Thanks to this, he develops imagination and fantasy. By playing games of this kind, you will be able to develop creative abilities in your baby, which will undoubtedly have a beneficial effect on his attitude in the future, and will also help him accept himself as a person.

Movements in games must be performed in the correct order. The child will need to remember this, which means that he will use his logical thinking. Thus, finger speech games in the very early age form a child, develop logical, creative, analytical and other types of thinking, contribute to the development of speech, perception of the surrounding world and oneself in it. Despite the seeming simplicity, finger developing games have a positive effect on the development of the child as a whole. Also, games in a certain way form the character and personality of a still little peanut.

The main motor achievement of the crumbs by this age is walking. The child began to walk independently. Freed hands allow you to experiment with surrounding objects, the skill of predominant use of the right or left hand is formed, coordination of movements is improved. It is physical activity that contributes to the development of cognitive abilities of the baby.

The influence of fine motor skills on the development of the child

Numerous studies by scientists have confirmed the connection between intellectual development and finger motor skills. It has been established that the level of development of children's speech is directly dependent on the degree of formation of fine movements of the fingers. Therefore, in order to teach a child to speak, it is necessary not only to train his articulation (speech) apparatus, but also to develop finger movements. Systematic exercises for training the fingers are also a means of stimulating the activity of the cerebral cortex, which contributes to the development of thinking and attention.

One of the important features of finger games is their accessibility. To play with the baby, no special devices and toys are required. All game material - pens, fingers of the child. It is only important for mom to know a few special exercises and learn the texts of verses for them. You can play these games at any time and anywhere: on a walk, in line at the clinic - where you need to take the baby, distract him or interest him.

Finger games for a child are selected taking into account his capabilities and gradually become more difficult. These games provide good finger training, contribute to the development of the ability to listen and understand the content of poetry, and teach to catch the rhythm of speech. When the baby pronounces verses and at the same time moves the fingers of his hands, his speech obeys the rhythm, is accompanied by movements, becomes louder, clearer, more emotional.

Good training provided folk games- nursery rhymes. Mom first reads the nursery rhyme rhythmically, highlighting the semantic parts intonation, accompanying the reading. game movements. Then the baby is invited to repeat the movements, and at an older age - the words of the nursery rhyme.

When it is difficult for a child to perform this or that exercise, an adult should help by taking his hand in his, helping to move his fingers, bend them and unbend them. This is how the necessary movements are taught, fine motor skills of the fingers are trained and, accordingly, speech development is stimulated.

Finger games for a child up to a year

Exploring our possibilities

Work on training fingers can begin as early as two months of age. During this period, an important place is given to massage. Stroke the baby's hands in the direction from the fingertips to the wrist, take each finger individually, bend and unbend it.

The game "To each his own name"

If you have never done finger games with your baby before, start with the elementary - just look at the fingers, name each finger, gently stroke. You can simply list the names of the fingers (big, index, middle, etc.), or you can give each finger its own name.

Calling the "name", bend and unbend each finger in turn:
Finger Antoshka - A little mischievous. (Bend and unbend the thumb.)
Finger Vlad - Loves outfits. (Bend and unbend the index finger, etc.)
Finger Kolya Goes to school.
Timosh's finger - A good boy.
Finger Irishka - Quite a baby.

You can come up with your own names and poetic lines for them or pronounce the baby's name in different ways: first the full name, then the diminutive, special, as one of the family members affectionately calls the baby, etc. Thus, the baby gets used to the sound of its own name, learns to distinguish it from the speech of adults.

Game "Pencil - Assistant"

Take a ribbed pencil and roll it over the palms and fingers of the crumbs. Another option for the exercise is to place a pencil between the palms of the baby and, pressing the palms tightly, make rubbing movements with them. The convex edges of the pencil massage the surface of the palms well, forcing the skin receptors to work.

You can massage your palms and fingers with a small ball (for example, for ping-pong), any other rounded object. The massage effect will be more noticeable if you use a special hedgehog ball with rubber "thorns". Roll it in the palms of the crumbs, pressing them to the ball.

Master with the crumbs the famous folk games with fingers - "Magpie-crow", "Ladushki", "Goat-dereza".

By 9-10 months of life, it is recommended to train circular movements with the baby's thumbs. The period when the opposition of the thumb to the rest occurs is of particular importance. From this moment on, the child becomes available to the subtle movements of the fingers, the baby masters the pincer grip (the ability to take objects with the thumb and forefinger).

The game "Boy-with-finger"

Ask the child to unclench his palm and, helping him to make movements, begin to pronounce the nursery rhyme:
Thumb boy, where have you been? (We make circular movements with the thumb.)
With this brother - I went to the forest, (We bend the little finger in turn, first,)
I cooked cabbage soup with this brother, (then the ring finger, etc.)
I sang songs with this brother,
I ate porridge with this brother,
That's why he got pissed off. ( Circular movements thumb.)

Crane Game

To play, you will need a plastic bucket and 6-7 small toys or objects (Kinder Surprise toys, large beads, walnuts, designer parts).

The baby's hand represents a crane: the thumb and forefinger of the right hand pick up the object and direct it straight into the bucket. First, slowly show the baby the sequence of actions, commenting on your movements along the way. Then ask the baby to repeat first with the right hand, then with the left.

Show your child gestures-substitutes for words: "Goodbye, bye-bye!" - the baby opens his fingers and waves his palm, “Give me!” - the baby squeezes and unclenches the fist several times, “You can’t do this!” - the child straightens the index finger, and presses the rest to the palm and shakes the pen. Teach your baby to clap his hands when he likes something. The baby quickly remembers these movements, and over time he will learn to repeat.

Finger games for children from 1 to 2 years old

We play and talk

At this time, the independence of the child in many actions increases. The manifestation of independence of the baby also brings to the exercise with fingers. At this age, he can repeat some simple movements without the help of an adult, focusing on the demonstration and copying the actions. Independence is also manifested in speech. The kid tries in his own way, loudly and clearly pronounce sounds, words or phrases when performing any part of the exercise.

Finger game "Spider"

The spider crawls, crawls, (Fingers squeeze and unclench, "walking" on the surface - on the table, arm, leg.)
He weaves a web.
The cobweb is at least thin,
Holds the moth firmly. (Rounded palms are stacked on top of each other.)
The moth sat-sat,
Suddenly fluttered - and flew away! (We wave our hands in the air.)
Ask the baby to pronounce the ending words: “crawling”, “sat”, “flew away”.

Finger game "Family"

Ask your child to straighten their hand. We begin to bend the little finger, ring finger and further - towards the thumb:
This finger is a grandfather
This finger is a grandmother,
This finger is daddy
This finger is mommy
This finger is me.
My whole family.

After saying the nursery rhyme several times, encourage the baby to repeat after you, or complete the sentence that has been started. For example, you say: “This finger”, and the crumb complements - “grandmother”, etc. Repeat the exercise with the other hand.

Finger game "Piano"

Imitate playing the piano by tapping with each finger in turn, then with the whole palm with spread fingers on the surface of the table:
We bought a piano
Tra-la-la, tra-la-la.
Playing with grandma
And the whole family is dancing.
Tra-la-la, tra-la-la.

The game "Fingers say hello"

Sit with the baby at the table opposite each other, “say hello” with your fingers - with each finger touch the child’s fingers in turn, saying: “Hello, little finger”, “Good to see you, ring finger”, “Good afternoon, middle finger”, “ I salute you, index finger, "" Have a good day, thumb!"

Make sure that the baby puts forward any one finger for greeting, and not the whole palm. Help him separate his fingers if he has difficulty. Simultaneously with the training of the fingers, the baby learns a variety of greeting phrases.

To train the fingers, games without speech accompaniment can also be used:

Game "Man". The index and middle fingers of the right hand "run" on the table ("little man"). The same movements must be made with the fingers of the left hand, both hands at the same time.

Tree game. Raise both hands with palms facing you, fingers wide apart. Move your hands left and right. At the beginning of each game, tell the baby how to place the fingers correctly, show the options for moving fingers and hands.

The game "Drag the rope." Explain to the baby that now you will check which of you is the strongest. Explain the rules of the game: you need to pull the rope to your side, taking it with your fingers or holding it in your fist. Put a string, string or handkerchief on the table. Give one end of the rope to the child, grab the other yourself. On command, start pulling towards you. Of course, the child must win this competition, but you should not give up right away - let the baby train his fingers, develop their strength, trying to hold and pull the rope. Be sure to praise the baby for being the strongest and most dexterous.

Finger games for children from 2 to 3 years old

obedient fingers

During this period, the fingers and hands of the child acquire good mobility and flexibility, the stiffness of movements gradually disappears.

If you notice that the child easily copes with the task, complicate it: add new movements, change their sequence, learn other, more intricate finger games. In the game, ask the baby to repeat whole sentences, quatrains after you. Encourage and praise him for a job well done.

Finger game "Snail"

Speak the nursery rhyme, showing the child all the actions. Ask him to repeat the movements after you:

Snail, snail! (Hand clenched into a fist "creeps" on the table.)
Stick out the horns! (We straighten the index and middle fingers - “horns” and quickly remove them.)
I'll give you a delicious cake! (Show open palms.)
I don't need a pie, (Twirl with clenched fists.)
I love freedom.
I'm crawling along the path
If I want, I’ll stick out my horns (We straighten the index and middle fingers.)
And touch a little...
The horns are out! (Fingers hide again - clench into a fist.)

Finger game "Sheep and bagels"

Teach your baby to collect fingers into rings, alternately closing the thumb with the small, ring, middle, index and thumb:
Early in the morning
I bought a lamb. (We close the rings, starting with the little finger.)
And then for rubles
He bought bagels. (We close the rings with our fingers in the reverse order.)
One, two, three, four, five - (We bend our fingers one by one.)
I started counting bagels.
One, two, three, four, five - (In the reverse order, we unbend our fingers one by one.)
Started eating bagels.
And he ate everything ... (Show palms.)

Game "Magic Web"

For this game you will need a thin colored lace. Ask the baby to show the pen, spreading her fingers. We braid the lace with rings around each finger of the baby, and let him try to remove it from his fingers without using his free hand. You can beat this exercise together with the baby: for example, tell that the spider has woven its magic web around his fingers, and he needs to free himself. When the baby manages to remove the lace, accompany his success with a surprise moment, for example: “Hooray! You are a magician! I was able to free myself from the magic web! Well done!"

Finger theater for children

Finger theater is an excellent invention: light, convenient, mobile. You can buy ready-made figurines that are put on fingers, you can make characters for the finger theater yourself - for example, from felt, paper, knit from yarn, or you can buy it in a store. This toy will delight the baby for a long time, training his fingers, improving speech, fantasy and imagination.

Arrange joint performances, and the audience can be relatives and friends, peers of the child.
The simplest option- make "actors" out of paper.

Wrap a sheet of paper 3-5 cm wide around your finger and glue it into a roll. If the puppeteer is a child - accordingly, the roll should be thinner.

Then we make out the doll: paint, draw the face, handles, clothing details. Be sure to make distinctive features of the character: the king - a crown, grandfather - a beard and mustache, grandmother - a handkerchief.
Such artists are convenient for fairy tales with large quantity characters. Each finger is a separate hero. So you can put Russian folk tales: "Turnip", "Wolf and seven kids", "Teremok", "Wintering of animals".

Shadow theater for children

Fingers folded in a certain way under special lighting can turn into fairy tale characters. For lighting, use a small table lamp, a night light.
Install a night light so that the light from it hits the wall. Hands should be positioned away from the light source so that the shadow from them is reflected on the wall.

Before showing a fairy-tale action, you will have to practice together and master the techniques of correctly showing the movements of the character: how he moves his ears, opens and closes his mouth, etc.

We offer several games for the shadow theater:

Bunny game. Elbows rest on the table. Stretch up the index and middle fingers of the right hand, and connect the tips of the ring and little fingers with the tip of the thumb. Make smooth rotational movements with a brush (the bunny moves). Perform the same exercise with the fingers of the left hand, with both hands at the same time.

The game "The chicken drinks water." Elbows rest on the table, fingers folded in the form of a beak. Make rhythmic tilts of the arms forward and return to the starting position - “peck the grains”. The kid can be fascinated by the shadow projection on the wall, and later he will be glad to take part in the performance.

Finger game "Animals at work" Read the rhyme to the baby, along the way showing all the actions that the animals perform in it. Let the baby repeat the movements after you. You need to perform movements with both hands at the same time:

Today is a whole day
All animals in action:
The fox-sister sews a fur coat, (We collect fingers into a pinch and unclench.)
A gray bear, an old grandfather, knocks out a boot, (We knock our fists against each other.)
And the white-sided magpie drives away the flies. (Wave your hands.)
Bear Masha cooks porridge for children. (We make circular movements with the hands.)
A hare sweeps with a whisk under the tree. (Hit the palms of each other on a tangent - “shake off” the palms)

Baby finger trainer

Put a small tight elastic band (for example, for hair) on the crumbs on the thumb and forefinger and ask them to stretch it several times. Let the baby try to stretch the elastic with only two fingers, without the help of the second hand. Then put the elastic on the thumb and middle fingers and so on to the little finger. This game allows you to strengthen the muscles of the fingers, improves the coordination of small movements. To make it more interesting for the baby, we can say that we hang a lock on the fingers and he needs to stretch it to free himself.

A very important part of the development of fine motor skills are "finger games". These games are very emotional, exciting. They contribute to the development of speech, creative activity. "Finger games" seem to reflect the reality of the surrounding world - objects, animals, people, their activities, natural phenomena. During the "finger games" children, repeating the movements of adults, activate the motor skills of the hands. Thus, dexterity is developed, the ability to control one's movements, to concentrate on one type of activity.

"Finger games" is a staging of any rhyming stories, fairy tales with the help of fingers. Many games require the participation of both hands, which makes it possible for children to navigate in terms of "right", "left", "up", "down", etc.

Children from one to two years old perceive well "finger games" performed with one hand.

Three-year-olds are already mastering games that are played with two hands, for example, one hand depicts a house, and the other a cat running into this house.

Four-year-old preschoolers can play these games using several events that change each other. Older children can be offered to decorate games with a variety of props - small objects, houses, balls, cubes, etc.
