And the pictures are the same - the Star knows that in the past, many were collectors of inserts from Love is chewing gum. And now these chewing gums are back on the market, so that the new generation has already fallen in love with these funny little men. The game is simple, in fact, even for children under the age of ten, it is suitable if they want to play with adults. We change cards, like inserts!
So, briefly about the rules
To win, you need to collect 7 cards in your hand on one of five themes. Topics are indicated by symbols in the corners:
There are nine cards in each theme, so collecting seven is quite realistic. Each turn, all players lay out one of the cards from their hand in front of them (you can just hold 7 cards in your hand), the active player opens a card from the deck, and then chooses with whom he would exchange cards. Has changed - everyone takes their cards back and the next player in a clockwise direction becomes active.
But the game is called Compliments for a reason.
Some cards have a large orange question mark in addition to the theme symbol. To exchange his card for one, the player must do something else for its owner. For example, say something nice, tell a poem or a joke, dance, bring tea.
And compliment cards, which come across both in the deck and in the hands of the players, help to illegally receive cards and change them by performing different tasks. For example, sometimes you need to hug someone, just fold some cards or reveal your big secret.
Oops, the cards are not signed!
Of course, this is still a game, not chewing gum. In the process, you can come up with signatures for each card yourself, and even arrange competitions for the best signature. For example, "Love is to hit her in the eye with a snowball, and then take her to the optometrist."

Sukhomlinsky argued that the methods used in educational activities should arouse the interest of the child in the knowledge of the world, and educational institution become a school of joy.

Algorithm for creating a situation of success 1. The removal of fear helps to overcome self-doubt, timidity, fear of the work itself and the assessment of others. We all try and search, only in this way can something work out. People learn from their mistakes and find other solutions. Test quite easy, we went through this material with you.
2. Advancing a successful result helps the teacher express his firm conviction that his student will definitely cope with the task. This, in turn, instills confidence in the child's own strengths and abilities. You will definitely succeed. I do not even doubt the successful result.
4. Introduction of motive. Shows the child for what, for whom this activity is performed, for whom it will be good after completion. Without your help, your comrades can not cope ... 5. Personal exclusivity. Indicates the importance of the child's efforts in the upcoming or ongoing activity. Only you could... You are the only one I can trust...
7. High grade detail. It helps to emotionally experience the success of not the result as a whole, but some of its individual details. You especially succeeded in that explanation. Most of all, I liked your work ... This part of your work deserves the highest praise.

Communication games
We offer a selection of games that thoughtful adults can adapt to home conditions and actively participate in them themselves. Natural conditions for the child will help him to be more liberated, and parents, knowing better the habits of their child, will be able to choose the most favorable moments for classes. T. L. Shishova indicates that group psychotherapy is comparable to a loading dose of a potent drug that relieves the severity of the disease, but does not always provide a lasting effect, and emotionally developing games in a family setting do not give such a quick, but lasting effect of recovery.
Children love outdoor games. Shy children usually lack liveliness and mobility; participation in such games helps children to actively join the children's team, in general atmosphere cheerfulness. As a rule, outdoor games are accompanied by noisy cries, laughter, and wild fun. All this contributes to the outburst of children's emotions, including negative ones, emancipation and the ability to express their feelings and experiences. Here are some of the outdoor games - “The sea is worried once ...”, “Geese and grey Wolf”, “Where is your house?”, “Pines, Christmas trees, stumps”, “Funny starts”, “Day and night”, “Funny grasshoppers”, “Live beads”, “Who is ahead”, “Tags”. The game "Quiet and Loud" allows children to get involved in general activities, teaches to perform actions in coordination with other children, helps to relieve emotional stress. Outdoor games can be played with the children themselves younger age starting as early as 2 years old.
Pantomime games can help overcome shyness, through which the child learns to express his emotions and recognize the emotions that other children are trying to convey through facial expressions and gestures. Such games contribute to the rapprochement of children and establish a favorable emotional contact between the players. These are the well-known games “Where we were, we won’t say - but what we did, we’ll show”, as well as “What has changed?”, “Who came”, “What is it?”, “What is the assessment?”, “Depict emotions”. Such games can be played with children from 4 years old. For a newly formed group of children, the game "What is my name" will be useful. The game helps children to get to know and better remember each other's names.
To increase children's self-esteem, the games "Good words", "Compliments", "The best" can be used. These games encourage children to compliment each other, which helps to create and strengthen companionship in the team. Undoubtedly, all children love to hear compliments intended for them, it improves their mood and gives a sense of self-worth.
The games "Pink Glasses", "The Best Debater", "Road of Good Mood", "Prickly Beast", "Calls", "I'm Good", "Box of Good Deeds", "Smesilki", "Rain and Daisies", "Because that you are good”, “Kind Beast”, “Old Men”, “Wishes” will teach children to be attentive to other people and to each other, help develop in children such feelings as respect, empathy, sympathy. These games will help children learn to express their emotions, communicate cheerfully and easily with peers, perceive themselves as equal to other people. Such games are best played with older preschool children.
The game "At the Zoo" will teach kids to instantly transform from strong to weak, from good to evil, from cowardly to confident. This game will help shy children feel more confident.
The game “Look at me” also helps to increase self-esteem. The purpose of this game is to bring to the consciousness of shy children a simple truth that says that close attention paid to them, in most cases, means sympathy, and not vice versa.
Games "Broken phone", "Broken TV", "Who hid?", "Whose item?", "What has changed?" contribute to the development of children's ability to be attentive to other people, to concentrate on other people, which is an important skill for shy children.
Shy children are often at a loss when they are suddenly approached with a question. To develop resourcefulness and ingenuity, you can play games such as "Answer - do not yawn", "Who said meow?" and "Catch the ball." Successful participation in the game allows kids to relieve the emotional stress that occurs in shy children, if necessary, quickly answer the question, feel their equality (or even superiority) with other children, helps to increase self-esteem, and, of course, mood. In the process of conducting the game, the teacher must carefully ensure that shy children do not lag behind the rest, otherwise the meaning of the game is lost.
The game "Bunnies in a Tram" will help shy children develop quick thinking, quick wit and the ability to defend their opinion. The game is played with children over 4 years old.
Games such as "Sculptors", "To the touch", "Catch me", "Storm at sea", "Living toys", "Our little friends" will help kids in liberating the emotional-volitional sphere, teach them trusting relationships, help them learn empathize and empathize with other people.
For children whose parents use an authoritarian style of upbringing, the games "All the way around", "Catch the ball and answer" can be successfully used, the purpose of which is to perform actions that are opposite to those given. The game allows children to realize the hidden desire of children to resist the tasks of adults. Games can be played with children over 4 years old.
Very helpful in overcoming shyness role-playing games and fantasy games. A parent or teacher can offer a child a story about a fictional character - this can be fairy tale character or just an imaginary child. The hero of your story should have the same character traits as your child. Come up with a name for him that is consonant with the name of your child, but not the same, for example, your child's name is Misha, let the boy named Sasha become the hero of the game. Think in advance of the plot of the game-story, which will tell about your fictional character. To do this, you should think about what your child cares and worries about, what story will help you understand his feelings and desires. Start the story with a description of the main character, tell in detail about his life. Let your child recognize their traits in this hero. Let the hero of the storytelling game, just like your child, have some kind of animal at home, let him have a younger sister or brother, if your family also has youngest child. Then put the character in a situation similar to your child's. For example, your kid cannot find a common language with new classmates - let the hero Sasha, having come to new school, will not be able to make friends with classmates due to the fact that he is shy and afraid to seem stupid and clumsy. He gets so excited around other kids that he constantly drops everything, pushes other kids, and can't say a word. Because of this, the children laugh at him and do not want to play with him. In the course of the story, let your kid understand that Sasha is actually a very good, smart and kind boy, he just sometimes doesn’t know how to start a conversation with children and ask to play. Encourage your child to actively participate in the game, consult with him, ask for help and tips. Sometimes children are embarrassed to talk about their problems and experiences. IN game form It is easier for children to express their feelings and attitude to what is happening around them. An attentive parent during the game can learn a lot about the worldview of his child and understand the difficulties that arise when communicating with peers. Having understood what the cause of his problems is, introduce into the story a new character who enjoys authority with your child - it can be a school teacher, older brother, friend, fairy tale, etc. This person will help your character - describe the problem, suggest options for solving it, advise how to behave in this situation, etc. Your story must necessarily end well. The older brother talked to Sasha and explained that Sasha behaves this way because he is afraid to seem ridiculous, therefore he is nervous and feels embarrassed. The brother suggested to Sasha how to behave in certain situations. The older brother encouraged Sasha, and from that day everything in his life changed. When the children at school saw how witty and funny Sasha was, they changed their attitude towards him and wanted to make friends with him. Your child should find real support, useful tips and a positive attitude in this game. This method will allow you to give advice to your baby in a gentle way, without imposing them and without suppressing his will. Try to make your story interesting and memorable. If the child wishes, you can make this story "serial", with a continuation. For young children, you can make the main character tangible - in the form of a toy. For children over 6 years old, the hero may simply be fictional. Such games can be played at any time convenient for you and your child. During the game, you can take a walk with your child in the park or just sit next to him on the couch. The main thing is that the game is played in a calm atmosphere, without haste and fuss. Then you can discuss the invented story with the child, analyze the behavior and actions of the main characters, think over the options: what would happen if ... similar view activity teaches children the ability to analyze and reflect, the ability to eradicate not the consequences of the problem, but its origins. Observe what conclusions your child has drawn from the game and whether they find application in life.
All the above games are designed for group activities with children, they can be played in kindergarten, in the family, just in the yard. Games can be held under the guidance of an experienced teacher, psychologist, or just a loving parent. It is in your power to gather children from your yard and arrange a real game marathon for them, which can last as long as you like. It is worth noting that this will serve your child well - your authority, and, consequently, the authority of your baby will grow several times in the eyes of the children from your yard.

Game progress: with the help of a long rope, the teacher makes the outlines of the ship, inside which the children are on the chairs. The teacher plays the role of a captain, he imitates swimming and comments on “what is happening” around:
We are sailing on the sea, the island of Monkeys is visible on the right. Many, many palm trees with huge bananas grow on this island. See the monkeys
sitting on the very tops of palm trees and waving their paws at us? They welcome us and invite us to visit. Well, we have half an hour of free time, let's visit the monkeys? Helmsman, turn the ship around, heading for Monkey Island. But what is it, we are drowning! Why did this happen? Guys, help me, we urgently need to scoop up water from a sinking ship! (Children pretend to scoop up water and pour it overboard). We need urgent help! (Turning to one of the children) Sasha, call the monkeys for help, shout loudly: “Help! Save!
The teacher invites the children to take turns shouting as loudly as possible, asking for help. Usually shy children have psychological barriers that prevent them from screaming loudly. As a rule, these barriers arise due to constant noise control by parents. Children sometimes need to shout, throw out negative energy, this game will teach children to do this in certain situations and suitable places.
The game develops according to the scenario invented by the teacher. Children should take a direct part in the game and become co-authors of the game; for this, the teacher can constantly turn to the children for help and tips.
Live toys
Purpose of the game: to teach children empathy, a sympathetic attitude towards others, to instill a caring attitude towards toys.
Age: from 3 years.
Game progress: the teacher distributes toys that are well known to them: cars, dolls, soft animals, balls, cubes, etc. Toys should be different for all children. The teacher invites the children to tell a composed story for each toy. It's better if it's in first person. An adult can tell the first story first, then invite the most active children to come up with their own story, and so on. Shy children should come up with their stories somewhere in the middle. You should not call them among the first and last storytellers. The teacher must ensure that the children do not retell each other's stories, in this case, you can direct the child's thoughts in a new direction by asking leading questions. The story might go something like this: “I am a teddy bear. My name is Misha. I have been living here for a long time. I have friends - dolls Masha and Alena, a tiger cub Tigra, a tumbler and three nesting dolls. I also really like to play with ... (the name of the child who loves to play with this bear cub most of all is called). It’s always very fun and noisy here, but sometimes I get upset, for example, when they leave me or my friends, forget to put us in our place, or tear off our ears and tails ... ”Depending on the teacher’s imagination, the story can have any continuation, it can be in this form draw the attention of children to some undesirable aspects of their behavior.
Our little friends
Purpose of the game: to develop in children the ability to sympathize and empathize, to develop a caring attitude towards pets.
Age: from 3 years.
Game progress: the teacher first invites the children to draw their pets. From these drawings, children should tell stories about their favorites. This may be the story of the appearance of a little friend in the child's family, some funny incident from their life, or just a story about how they live, what they do, where they go for walks, etc.
All the way around
Purpose of the game: to teach children to identify actions that are opposite in meaning.
Age: from 4 years.
Game progress: with the help of a counting rhyme, we choose the driver. Children stand in a circle, hands on their belts, the driver becomes the center of the circle. The leader makes arbitrary movements and calls them, the rest of the children perform the opposite actions. For example, the driver raises his hands up and says: “Hands up”, all the children lower their hands at the seams. A child who makes a mistake becomes a leader. If all the children perform the actions correctly, after a while a new driver is selected with the help of a counter.
What I am and what I would like to be
Target: boosting the self-esteem of a shy child.
Age: for preschool and primary school age.
When performing this exercise, you can work with one child or with a group of children.
The child is asked to draw himself twice. In the first picture - as he is now, in the second - as he would like to be. Working with drawings is based on a comparison of their features. The colors that the child used in each drawing, the pose, the mood in which he is depicted, the environment are compared.
According to psychologists, a child's self-esteem is expressed in the differences between the two drawings. Some children have coincidences between the "real" and "ideal" I. In this case, he believes that nothing should be changed. As a rule, such children have high self-esteem.
Self-assessment is considered adequate if the discrepancy between the two figures is not too significant.
In children with low self-esteem, the color of the drawing remains unchanged, often dark, the drawing is small, sloppy and even dirty. When drawing an ideal self, a large number of colors are used, the child draws himself in bright clothes with elements that emphasize external beauty, in situations where positive actions are performed.
At the end of the drawing, a discussion is held, after which the child must formulate for himself what needs to be done in order to become what he wants to be.
The following games: Draw a Shape, Pass the Drawing, Trust Fall, Conspirator, and Sculpture can be helpful for those shy children who have difficulty communicating with adults.
Draw a figure
Purpose of the game: remove communication barriers, increase trust in adults.
Age: children 6-12 years old
The game is attended by at least two children and two adults. Divided into pairs: one adult and one child. It is desirable that the child be in the same pair with someone else's adult, but one should not insist if such a division causes a strong objection in a shy child. In this case, one can try to introduce a condition that the players must necessarily change partners, but again, do not insist in case of a strong rejection of such a condition by a shy child. Often the child, having mastered the course of the game, offers this option himself.
The rules of the game are as follows: the partners agree what they will portray (the task of an adult is to make sure that the idea is not too complicated and difficult to implement), after that one draws a figure with a finger on the back of the other, and the second depicts it with facial expressions, gestures, maybe dance. The second pair guesses. A point is awarded (attention!) not to guess, but to those who seem to have depicted their plan.
Sculpture
Purpose of the game: to teach to trust another person.
Age: for senior preschool age).
The minimum number of participants in the game is 3 people. The two agree on what figure they will portray, after which one player “sculpts” it from the other, gradually forcing him to take the desired poses. The third player must guess what kind of sculpture it is.
Most topical issue shy child is the theme rejection. Adults often do not consider it significant enough, which it is for the child himself. To correct this complex, T. L. Shishova recommends that adults turn to the games “Homeless Kitten” and “Robot”. We invite readers to take advantage of these games.
homeless kitten
Purpose of the game: let the child feel its importance, increase self-esteem.
Age: for children 4-8 years old
The game can be played in the form puppet theater, and for school-age children - on the table using small figures (possible from kinder surprises). Kitten is the conventional name of the game. It can also be a bunny, a dog, a dinosaur, a crocodile, etc.
A kitten lived in the same house. He was cute and, most importantly, very affectionate. Other owners would have doted on him, but the owners of the Kitten (let the child figure out who they are, how many of them) behaved terribly with him (let him show him exactly how. Invite him to play the role of the Kitten, and another time switch roles) . And then one day the Kitten found himself without a roof over his head ... (The owners either kicked the Kitten out, or he ran away - leave the choice of situation to the child. If the child wants, you can come up with and show the adventures of a homeless Kitten, but you should not insist on this. For your the baby is important not to get used to the role of the rejected one, but to feel more fully the joy of finding affectionate and caring loved ones). But then he met ... (let the child himself come up with a character who will shelter the Kitten). And since then, Kitten's life has changed radically! (Do not be lazy and show in detail how a good character took care of him. Such a game often seems boring to adults, but for a lonely child, it is in these sentimental details that sometimes the most important, most intimate meaning is contained).
As indicated in the previous chapter, a child can learn to better understand another person through pictograms.
Mimicry in drawings
Target: to learn to recognize the feelings of another person.
Age: for children of primary school age
A pictogram is a set of cards on which various emotions are depicted using simple signs. There are five icons in total. The first symbolizes a joyful face, consists of an oval (face), an inverted number seven (nose), two semi-ovals with tips down (eyebrows) and a semi-oval with tips up (mouth).
The second pictogram symbolizes a distressed face, consists of an oval, an inverted number seven, two oblique lines converging at the top (eyebrows), and a semi-oval with tips down (mouth).
The third pictogram, symbolizing the expression of fear, consists of an oval, an inverted number seven, two oblique lines converging at the top, and a circle (an open mouth).
The fourth pictogram depicts an angry face and consists of an oval, an inverted number seven, two slashes converging at the bottom, and a rectangle or small oval (grinning mouth).
The fifth pictogram shows a surprised face, consisting of an oval, two dashes (eyebrows) and a circle raised high above the inverted number seven.
Description of the game with pictograms. Sets of five cards were used for each child. Children should, having examined the pictograms, name the mood that they symbolize. Then all the cards are cut along the line dividing the conditional face into upper and lower parts, after which all the cards are mixed. Children are given the task to restore the pictograms by connecting them with adhesive tape. It is recorded how successfully the children coped with the task, how quickly they could do it.
fun exercise
Target: liberate children, provide a charge of vivacity for the whole day.
It is advisable to accompany the exercise with music.
The adult tells, the children show. In order for the car to work, you need to start the engine. A sleeping person is like a car turned off (children are “sleeping”). The body gets tired during the day, it needs rest - sleep. But there is a new day ahead and there are many, many interesting things and adventures ahead. We must prepare ourselves for them. Turn on, start your body. Let's jump on the floor! Each of you is the master of your own body. You are awakened cats, stretching either the front or the hind legs. Or are we ladybugs fallen on our backs? Can you roll over without assistance? And now we are tigers crouching in the thicket. Let us become a reed in the wind and take its flexibility for ourselves. Now let's take a deep breath and turn into balloons. A little more and we'll fly. Stretching up like giraffes. Let's jump like a kangaroo to become as agile and strong. And now we are pendulums. Heavy bronze pendulums in antique clocks. We sway from side to side - and we have enough time for everything. Now let's start the plane. We twist its propeller with all our might. Let's bend like an Indian's bow and become just as resilient. Which of our two legs will jump higher today - the left or the right? Beat your own record, sit down one more time than yesterday. You're a winner! The whole day will be ours! However, you can not do exercises, but crawl all day like an old sick turtle.
aliens
Target: development of non-verbal communication skills.
Age
It is advisable to use external paraphernalia: helmets for aliens, a cardboard model of a ship or a flying saucer, etc.
An interplanetary ship makes an emergency landing on an unfamiliar planet. This is Earth. Aliens step on a foreign land and see a group of guys. But how to make contact? After all, no one knows each other's language. And here gestures come to the rescue.
"Aliens" point with their hand at some object (for example, a chair, bed, table, etc.), and earthlings, naming this object, must show it with gestures functional purpose. The game is accompanied by music.
During the game, shy children must achieve understanding from their peers, which requires them to be active and confident.
compliments
Target: the formation of adequate self-esteem, the development of communication skills.
Age: for senior preschool and primary school age
The game can take on various forms. The essence of the game is that children give each other verbal signs of attention. The one to whom this sign is addressed must adequately respond to it. To name a few options this game.
Option 1.
Children stand in a circle and take turns saying something positive to one of the participants in the game. Attention signs can be marked personal qualities, appearance, skills, behavior, etc. In response, the child says: “Thank you, I also think that I ...” (repeats what was said to him, and then he reinforces with one more praise addressed to him: “I am still me I think that I...").
Option 2(using a ball).
The game is played in a circle. The content of the game is the same, but the child to whom the ball was thrown receives signs of attention. An adult makes sure that the ball hits all the children.
As mentioned in previous chapters, it is very important for a shy person to learn how to relax. Here are two options for psycho-muscular training for children, set out in the book by M. I. Chistyakova "Psycho-gymnastics".
Psychomuscular training without focusing on the breath
Bear cubs in a den(introductory game)
Age: for children 4-5 years old.
Autumn. It gets dark early. The cubs are sitting in a forest clearing and looking after the mother bear going into the thicket. She went to make beds for them in the lair. The cubs want to sleep. They go home one by one, exactly following the trail of the bear. The cubs climb into their beds and wait for the mother bear to play with them before going to bed. The she-bear counts her cubs. Everything is in place, you can start the game.
Bump game
Mother bear throws bumps to cubs. They catch them and squeeze them with force in their paws. The cones are broken into small pieces. The cubs throw them in different directions and drop their paws along the body - the paws rest. Mom again throws cones to the cubs.
Repeat the game 2-3 times.
The bee game
The she-bear calls the golden bee to play with the cubs. Children raise their knees, making houses. The bee flies under the knees. The mother bear says: "Flying!", and the cubs straighten their legs in a jaunty way, but the dexterous bee did not get caught.
Repeat the game 2-3 times.
Cold - hot
Mama bear is gone, a cold blew North wind and made his way through the cracks into the lair. The bears are cold. They shrunk into small balls - they are warming themselves. It got hot. The bears turned around. Again the north wind blew.
Repeat the game 2-3 times.
scarf game(to relax the muscles of the neck).
Mom came and handed out scarves to the cubs so that they would not freeze anymore. The half-asleep cubs, without opening their eyes, tied scarves around their necks. The cubs turned their heads from side to side: good, warm necks.
The bee interferes with sleep(play of facial muscles).
The bee flew into the den again. She decided to sit on someone's tongue, but the cubs quickly clenched their teeth, made their lips a tube and began to twist them in different directions. The bee got offended and flew away. The cubs again slightly opened their mouths, the tongue is resting. Mama bear came and turned on the light. From the bright light, the cubs tightly closed their eyes and wrinkled their noses. Mom sees: everything is in order, she turned off the light. The cubs stopped squinting and wrinkling their noses. The bee has flown again. The cubs did not chase her away, but rolled her on their foreheads, moving their eyebrows up and down. The bee thanked the cubs for the pleasure and flew off to sleep.
Rest. The she-bear sang a lullaby to the cubs (" Lullaby for a bear cub”), and the cubs, having settled comfortably, began to doze off. The bear went into the forest. (Pause). The bear returned and began to tell the cubs what they were dreaming about. All the cubs had the same dream: as if they were sitting in the bushes and looking at the children playing. (Pause). The bear tells the cubs that now they will hear wonderful music, and, turning to each bear cub individually, tells how good they will be when they wake up (P. I. Tchaikovsky, "Sweet Dream"). Then she warns the cubs that morning is coming soon and as soon as the lark sings, they will wake up. (Pause). The lark sings ("Song of the lark"). Children quickly and vigorously or, if the subsequent activity of children requires it, calmly and slowly get up. With surprise and curiosity, the cubs look out of the den: they went to bed in the fall, and now it's spring. All winter, it turns out, the cubs slept in the den.
The host invites the cubs to turn into children again.
Rest option. The facilitator invites the children to sit comfortably, relax and listen with eyes closed affectionate music. When the music ends, the children open their eyes and quietly stand up.
Psycho-muscular training with fixation of attention on breathing
By the Sea (introductory game)
Age: for children 6-7 years old.
Children play on the seashore (playing with pebbles), splashing in the water. After bathing enough, the children come out of the water and lie down on the sun-warmed sand of the beach... They close their eyes from bright sun. They spread their arms and legs in pleasant laziness.
sand play(for tension and relaxation of the muscles of the hands).
Pick up imaginary sand (on inspiration). Strongly clenching your fingers into a fist, hold the sand in your hands (holding your breath). Sprinkle sand on your knees, gradually opening your fingers (as you exhale). Shake the sand off your hands, relaxing your hands and fingers. To drop powerlessly hands along the body: too lazy to move heavy hands.
Repeat the sand game 2-3 times.
Ant game(for tension and relaxation of the leg muscles).
An ant (ants) climbed onto the toes and runs over them. Pull the socks on with force, legs tense, straight (on inspiration). Leave the socks in this position, listen to which finger the ant is sitting on (holding the breath). By instantly relieving tension in the feet, release the ant from the toes (as you exhale). Socks go down - to the sides, relax the legs: the legs are resting.
Repeat the game 2-3 times.
Sun and cloud(for tension and relaxation of the muscles of the body).
The sun went behind a cloud, it became fresh - shrink into a ball to warm up (hold your breath). The sun came out from behind the clouds. It's hot - relax - exhausted in the sun (on the exhale).
Water got into your ears
In the supine position, shake your head rhythmically, shaking water from one ear, then from the other.
face sunbathing(for tension and relaxation of the neck muscles).
The chin is sunbathing - expose the sun to the chin, slightly open the lips and teeth (on the exhale). A bug is flying, going to sit on one of the children's tongue. Close your mouth tightly (hold your breath). The bug flew away. Slightly open your mouth, exhale with relief. Chasing the bug, you can vigorously move your lips. The nose is sunbathing - expose the nose to the sun, the mouth is half open. A butterfly is flying. Chooses whose nose to sit on. Wrinkle the nose, lift the upper lip up, leave the mouth half open (holding the breath). The butterfly has flown away. Relax the muscles of the lips and nose (as you exhale). Eyebrows - swing: a butterfly flew in again. Let the butterfly swing on the swing. Move your eyebrows up and down. The butterfly has completely flown away. I want to sleep, relaxation of the muscles of the face. Without opening your eyes, crawl into the shade, take a comfortable position.
Rest. Sleep by the sea.
Children listen to the sound of the sea (V. Uspensky). The facilitator tells the children that they all have the same dream, and tells its content: the children see what they did during the day. (Pause). The host tells what signal the children will wake up on (according to the score, when the music starts playing, etc.). (Pause). A signal sounds. Children vigorously (or, if the situation requires it, slowly and calmly) get up.
Rest option. The facilitator tells the children the name of the play they will be listening to and invites them to take a comfortable position and close their eyes. Music sounds (K. Saint-Saens, "The Swan"). With the end of the music, the children quietly get up and approach the leader.
In conclusion, I would like to say: do not expect your children to be the way you want them to be. This never happens. Children always go their own way. Therefore, think less about what they should become and look more carefully at what they are in reality. Think more about how to help them, less about how to fix them. Do not forget that irritation, resentment and disappointment, which are always the result of unjustified expectations, are the most ineffective and dangerous method of influencing a person at any age.
