Exercises for preschoolers can be carried out as part of activities that have a positive effect on the respiratory system and games for fine motor skills. UG can take place together with the hardening technique. In addition to health-saving functions, exercise in a preschool educational institution is important for the formation of mental processes, broadening one’s horizons, and communication skills.

Goals and objectives of the UG
Gymnastics in preschool educational institutions is divided by age groups: 2-3 years, 3-4 years, 4-5 years, 5-6 years, 6-7 years. The physical component is important for the entire period of education. The purpose of exercise in kindergarten is to instill a desire to monitor your health throughout your life.
Every day the morning in kindergarten begins with a training session, which makes it possible to strengthen the little body.
For your information! It is important to instill in a person a love of physical education from childhood; in kindergarten they lay the foundation for the future. The goal of UG is to improve the functioning of body systems.
Exercise has enormous health-improving and educational significance. Many preschool teachers find it difficult to create a set of activities that will be more effective for children of different ages, and they use the recommendations of the Federal State Educational Standard.
Every morning in most kindergartens in Russia begins with UG. The purpose of exercise is to develop body muscles and improve health conditions. The baby’s body needs physical exercise, it needs to release energy. It can be directed in the most useful direction by involving preschoolers in active and interesting exercises and exciting games.
Exercise is important in organizing the day and for the well-being of the students. Those who are already awake and starting to pamper will become calmer with the help of exercises. Sleepy and inactive guys, on the contrary, will cheer up. The purpose of exercise is to normalize discipline. You should exercise daily so that your baby gets used to organized sports. 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.
How do exercises differ for children of different ages?
Children three to four years old
love play situations with clearly defined roles and a clear plot.
Therefore, games are selected for them with simple and specific content, for example, “the geese went for a walk, the wolf scared them, and they ran home.” At five or six years old,
children develop a desire to compete with each other, so games for them need to be made more complicated and an element of competition introduced into them.
For children six to seven years old,
games should contain the most varied and complex movements: running, climbing, jumping, and an adult should demand their correct execution and interest the child in the end result.
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.
Breathing exercises for children in the senior group of kindergarten
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.

Purpose of the lesson
Morning exercises allow anyone not only to wake up from sleep, but also to tune in for the whole next day.
Monotonous exercises give you the opportunity to think and plan your day. If you start exercising at a certain time, it, as a daily obligatory activity, is an excellent discipline. For an adult, morning exercise can consist not only of exercise, but also of walking the dog in the morning, getting the children ready for kindergarten, school, preparing breakfast, and getting ready for work. Children are unlikely to go to kindergarten on their own. Parents have difficulty getting them up, helping them get dressed, comb their hair, and making them eat breakfast. Morning exercises await them in the kindergarten. This particular exercise is not just a physical exercise procedure, but the baby’s first mandatory independent work. Although children repeat the exercises after the teacher, they still learn to do work in a disciplined manner at a certain time, and then in a team. In the long term, this is the main goal of morning exercises, and not the physical development of children, who already move so much that they need to be stopped, and not forced to do anything.
The teacher’s task is not a formal approach in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, but to develop, based on state standards, his own complex, convenient for the teacher. When developing, it is necessary to take into account the usefulness for children from different sides - it is important to develop not only physical qualities, dexterity, but also listening skills, musical qualities, possibly speech skills, as well as the ability to accurately perform tasks at the request of the teacher.
An ideal exercise should last no more than 15 - 20 minutes and include a warm-up, exercises, a game part, and possibly a small quiz. The task of creating a good complex is not an easy one, but, as in any pedagogical work, after working hard for the first year, getting the kids interested in fun play exercises of the author’s work, you can enjoy the fruits of your achievements for many years.
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.

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.
How to teach your baby to exercise?
It’s unlikely that the baby will like traditional “adult” boring exercises, so it’s worth coming up with something more interesting for the baby.
Parents will have to use their imagination and make exercise a fun, exciting game. Hardening
Children's hardening can begin from a very early age. How to start hardening correctly is described in a special material.
For example, not just walk on heels and toes, but walk “like a fox,” “like a bear,” “jump like a bunny.” “Each exercise should be performed by the parent himself and should be done cheerfully, with excitement, in order to interest the baby. Rhymes help the child to better understand the exercises and make morning exercises more fun and interesting. Cheerful, upbeat music also contributes to a good mood,” explains Sergei Polyakov, head of the exercise therapy department at the Scientific Center for Children’s Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.
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.

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”.
Analysis of morning exercises
Each teacher must keep a file of children, analyze and monitor classes and the condition of each child. UG analysis plan:
- age and number of preschoolers in the group;
- gymnastics venue;
- how preschoolers and the teacher are dressed;
- exercise exercises and duration;
- development tasks at each stage: what was accomplished, compliance with the stated duration;
- the effectiveness of pedagogy: display, text instructions, equipment, individual assistance;
- emotional state of preschoolers at each stage of classes;
- conclusion: whether changes or additional exercises will be required in the exercises.
For your information! Thanks to analysis and diagnostics, it is possible to summarize and improve charging, and the control chart will allow you to identify shortcomings.
