The importance of sleep for the full development of a child is difficult to overestimate. But correct awakening is also very important for the baby to spend the rest of the day in a good mood, which means he is active and cheerful. Children of the second youngest group, due to age characteristics, rather difficult transition from a state of rest to physical activity. The teacher is faced with the difficult task of choosing a suitable set of exercises, combining physical activity.

Definition of the concept of "gymnastics after sleep"

Gymnastics after a nap is a set of exercises that organizes a leisurely transition from calm sleep to continued activity, which is carried out with rhymes and slow, quiet music. For children of the second youngest group, that is, 3-4 years old, the complex should have the character of a game with a plot, where a familiar character acts, which is a model for repeating all actions after him.

Physical activity is distributed in such a way that the complex includes exercises:

• to perform lying in bed (stretching, swinging legs and arms);
• an active block (running, squats, as well as gymnastics elements for fingers, etc.);
• on the development and improvement of the respiratory system.

The total exercise time is 5-7 minutes.

It is worth noting that the selection also depends on the general strategy of the educational program of the preschool institution. So, if hardening groups are practiced in kindergarten, then children perform most of the exercises in the open air at any time of the year.

How the baby wakes up determines his mood and physical condition for the rest of the day.

Post-sleep gymnastics goals

Like all program elements of working with children in kindergarten, the main task of conducting classes is to preserve and strengthen health. In this context, the goals of post-sleep exercise are:

• tone the muscles;
• improve mood;
• prevent curvature of the spine, the development of flat feet;
• instill in babies the habit of warming up after sleep.

It is important to consider that in the exercises after sleep there should be no sudden body movements, otherwise muscle stretching, increased excitability and dizziness cannot be avoided. In the second younger group, the emphasis is on barefoot walking and lifting.

Types of awakening gymnastics

Usually, educators try to make up a complex that is aimed at realizing all the goals of the warm-up. But in the educational plans of many kindergartens, only certain types of gymnastics are included, aimed at solving a specific problem. In this case, planning is made for a month. In other words, for example, September - children do warm-up in cribs, self-massage; October - work on simulators or in a gym with sports equipment, etc. One can distinguish such types of invigorating gymnastics as:

Rules of conduct

In order for children to maintain a positive emotional attitude, you need to adhere to the timing framework.

1. Exercise in bed - 1.5–2 minutes.
2. The loads of the active block and breathing exercises - 2-3 minutes.
3. Hardening procedures, if any, 3 minutes.

Awakening gymnastics card file

As already noted, the goals that are determined by invigorating gymnastics can be achieved by alternating a combination of different types of gymnastics (usually after half a month). For the second youngest group, it is rational to use a combination of two or three types, since in this case it is easier to draw up a single plot for the entire set - that is, to satisfy the main requirement for carrying out such health-improving work: put physical activity in the form of a game. The composition of the combinations of exercises is in accordance with the planning of work with children of a particular group.

Exercises in bed and music rhythm block

Instructions for general developmental exercises and self-massage:

It is interesting. Combinations of different types have one feature: the first in these sets will be exercises in bed.

Poem for exercise in bed with elements of gymnastics for the respiratory system.

• The bird sat on the window,
  A cat meows in the yard -
  They decided to wake us up.
  Everything! The quiet hour is over!
• Wake up kids I want
  invite you to play hide and seek.
  (Children lie on top of the blankets.
  Calm music sounds.
  Children perform movements according to the text).
• Our sleepy palms
  Woke up little by little
  They played hide and seek -
  Fingers clenched into a fist.
• Toes on our feet
  They know all the paths in the park.
  They check - where are the heels,
  And they play hide and seek with us.
• We are almost awake
  Our hands reached out
  Waved over the sheet
  Together they hid behind the back.
• We will hook the handles into a "lock"
  Over my head.
  Right, left elbow
  We will bring it in front of us.
  The knees don't want to sleep
  It is high time for them to get up.
• We put out our knees
  The legs were quickly straightened.
  Our mouths are silent
  We train the tongue:
  We will hide it and show it.
  "Good day!" - we will say loudly.
• Let's breathe deeply
  Blow out the air with a noise.
  Our noses woke up
  We smiled at each other!
  (stand on the rugs next to the crib).

Summary of gymnastics in the second junior group, author Ershova Irina

Usually, educators use complexes that have a plot basis:
