Finger games for children 5 years old
Ladder. It’s easy to build a manual ladder, but you can speed up the pace, which trains the child’s voluntary movements and attention.
Instructions. Open hands “look” at each other.
Bring your thumbs together so that you place the nail of your left finger on the pad of the finger of your right hand.
Touch this connection with the index finger of your right hand and repeat with the index finger of your left hand. So the tips of all the fingers take their place in the ladder in turn, ending it with the little finger of the left hand.
Lock. Any adult or older child will show the child how to interlace his fingers so that his hands form a lock. And all further manipulations are interesting to accompany with poetry:
There is a lock on the door.
Who could open it?
Pulled... Twisted...
They knocked. And they opened it!
Obviously, you need to pull so that your hands remain clasped. You also need to twist it with your brushes, without moving your fingers apart. Then tap with the heels of your palm, continuing to hold your fingers in the lock. Children love to perform these actions in a group, gradually speeding up the pace as they repeat.
Fan. Invite the children to fan themselves. But the hands will serve as a fan.
Instructions. Raise your arms in front of you with palms open. The palms are tense, and the thumbs look to the sides. The fingers on both hands, starting with the index, bend and stretch towards the palm. The movements are performed in a chain, finishing with the little fingers.
After the child has mastered the skill, show another way to “work” the fan. Now start the movement with your little fingers, and let your index fingers reach your palms last.

Finger games for developing fine motor skills
Author's finger games
Play is the best way to develop children's speech and thinking. While playing, the child rejoices, gets pleasure, is impressed, develops imagination , all this is a powerful stimulant for the active perception of speech and gives rise to independent speech activity in the child. Finger play is the most effective way to develop speech in children , as well as massage and gymnastics for the hands, which affects the skin of the hands, where there are many points associated with various organs. The purpose of finger games is to switch attention, improve coordination and fine motor skills , which directly affect the mental development of the child . By combining poetic lines and simultaneous finger , children develop correct sound pronunciation, the ability to speak quickly and clearly, improve memory, and the ability to coordinate movements and speech. Finger games are very interesting for children; for some games, paper caps, knitted hats or characters, and gloves with embroidered eyes and mouth are worn.

Preparing and conducting finger gymnastics classes at a preschool educational institution
To perform finger and hand gymnastics for children, no special materials are required.
Book corners in kindergartens, their design according to the Federal State Educational Standard
Note! The specialist selects exercises based on the age and development level of the group.
Children of the nursery group aged 2-3 years play “animals”, imitating the flapping of the wings of birds or the habits of familiar animals (dog, cat, bear, cockerel, cow). In this case, the teacher first shows the exercises individually, correcting and correcting each one. When this stage is passed, all the studied material is repeated in subgroups.
At the age of 3-4 years, the study of movements that strengthen the hands begins. To do this, tasks are given to depict familiar objects, such as a castle, a hammer, a flower.
4-5 year old children (pupils of the middle group) study both static and dynamic exercises. Gymnastics for fingers in kindergarten is carried out following the example of the teacher, and then the image begins to be modified (the gate opened - the gate closed).
At 5-6 years old (older group), the teacher no longer shows movements, children learn to perceive tasks by ear and reproduce them.
Note! By the sixth year of life, children are happy to organize impromptu “classes” for younger children, based on the exercises they have learned.
By the age of 6-7 years, classes take on the format of an imagination game. Taking an already familiar position, the child must tell the story associated with it, and also modify the position of his hands during his speech. At the age of six, a child, possessing a remarkable imagination, is able not only to retell a story familiar to him, but also to build his own, relying on visual material.
Approximate time plan for finger gymnastics in different age groups
Following the rules of the Federal State Educational Standard, the timing of finger gymnastics in groups of different ages is different. Class time is counted including warm-up and cool-down:
- 5 minutes - for younger preschoolers (2-4 years). In this case: 1 minute for warming up, 2 - for learning a new game, 1 - for repeating the old one, 1 - for massage with special balls.
- 7-9 minutes - for older preschoolers (5-7 years old). In this case: 1 minute for warming up, 1 - for performing static exercises, 2 - for conducting 2 dynamic games, united by a common theme, from 3 to 5 minutes for performing “finger theater”.
