It is desirable that your "fitness center" met:
- smooth, smooth glade, surrounded by birch or pine;
- A fallen tree;
- Close-planted trees, between which there is a gap of 10-15 centimeters;
- several trees growing in a row one after another;
- Raspberry trees for climbing.
Even in a harmless at first glance middle forest can be met with danger.
Check if there is a path in your path:
- broken branches and branches that can fall at any time on the head;
- thick bushes, where sometimes there are mites (especially dangerous hazel and overgrown rakits):
- bogs - they can be recognized by the poisonous-green juicy high grass;
- ravines with steep, especially sandy, slopes;
- wet lawns, overgrown with tall grass (here you can meet a viper).
Relaxing
Start a workout with outdoor games for adults and children useful with deep relaxation. Arrange in the warmed by the sun forest edge and ask the crumb for at least a few seconds to lie down, looking at the sky. Ask him to show a fluffy white cloud, a flying bird, a butterfly, branches of trees over his head. If the baby already speaks well, let him guess the various silhouettes in the floating clouds.
Relaxation is useful to accompany respiratory gymnastics. Offer a crash competition: who can not breathe longer. Slowly slowly inhale the air with a spout, hold your breath as long as possible, and then sharply expel air through the mouth. To be more interesting, you can take a leaf or a blade of grass and blow at them with all your might - who is stronger.
If there are no mosquitoes and other blood-sucking insects on the clearing, you can take off your t-shirt and make a relaxing massage. Stroke his back, palms, heels in turn with a blade of grass, a leaf, a dry tick, a spiny spruce foot. An older child can be asked to guess exactly what you are touching him before.
We train ... heels
On a dry and level forest clearing, you can play the baby and invite him to run barefoot. Dry needles, moss, silky soft grass - fine massagers for little heels: in the feet there are a lot of reflex zones and nerve endings; By clicking on these "buttons", the kid gives an impetus to the development of immunity and the nervous system.
At the same time you can train and fingers on the "hind legs": collect pine cones and ask the crumb to put them in a basket "like a monkey" - with your toes. In the fingers, as in the feet, there are many reflex zones and nerve endings. Our advice: a large round pine cone is useful to ride under the heel - this is an excellent prevention of flat feet.
Note: If a toddler is not accustomed to walking barefoot, he may at first be capricious. So do not force events - let it gradually get used to new sensations.
Forest simulators
Trees - the world's best simulators for outdoor games for adults and children. This is known even by monkeys, And human cubs, they also quite fit.
A fallen tree is an excellent gymnastic for children of all ages.
Tiny to one year can:
- Learn to crawl from a log to the ground;
- crawl through a log;
- take the first steps, leaning the pens on the barrel.
Kids from one year to three will learn to balance on a log - first at the handle with someone from adults, and then themselves.
Our advice: if it seems to you that the baby is already able to walk on the log without support, but is afraid to take the first step, ask him to take something in his hands, for example a small bouquet of forest flowers.
Children over the age of three are encouraged to learn more cunning ways of moving around the log;
- stepping-stones;
on tiptoe;
- on horseback;
- crawling;
- Back to front.
Children from four years can learn to jump over a low log:
- from the place - first jump (with a change of legs), and then with two legs together;
- with take-off.
The vertical tree trunk is the best "teaching material" ...
... for walking. The day of the croc, mastering the movement on their own two, the journey around the rounded trunk of a huge oak or elm is a whole adventure. What is there around the bend? Look terrible, but curiosity dismantles! The one who has already learned to take a few steps without support, can be sent to a risky "inter-barrel" expedition.
...for running. If the distance from one tree to another is 5-10 meters, they can become marks of the start and finish of the treadmill; and in the "corridors" between the rows of trees you can arrange a baton, slalom or race with obstacles.
... competitions in accuracy. If desired, the trees can turn into targets, in which you can throw cones or shoot from self-made bows:
- thick - for beginning shooters;
- Thinner - for the more experienced;
- narrow gaps between the trees - for real snipers.
... for climbing. Climbing trees is not only fun, which almost all children adore, but also a very useful lesson. It develops:
- Coordination of movements;
- Vestibular apparatus;
- the eye;
- Skeletal musculature.
Climbing is an aerobatics, which can be taught to a child from the age of three, when he will fully master basic movements. Find a sturdy, sprawling tree with frequent low branches and invite the crumb to climb onto the lower branch.
FORESTRY RACE (FROM 4-5 YEARS)
Write a bright marker on the cartons (you can use disposable plastic picnic plates) numbers from one to five and pin them in a mess to the trees. It is necessary as soon as possible to run through all the trees in order and touch each hand.
Our advice: if the kid still does not know the numbers, they can be replaced by the appropriate number of points.
Cobweb Game
The trunks of the trees are randomly tied with a rope so that a "cobweb" turns out. On some sections of the rope are hung small bells. The goal of the game is to silently get through the spider web.
At the first stage, simply ask the kid to step over a tight rope with bells, then - creep under it in a plastic way and, only when it starts to work out, gradually make the "spiderweb" more complicated and confusing.
Never install or secure the child when climbing. So you will create an illusion of security for him, and he will be able to get a serious injury without being accustomed to insurance.
Only when the little man learns on his own and without adventure to get off the first branch, let him climb higher.
Running with cones
It is good to play this game on a logging site, where many logs are prepared. Lay out 4-5 logs in parallel, at a distance of 25-30 centimeters from each other so that the child can easily jump from one to another. Each player picks up a bunch of cones (10-15 pieces) and runs along logs. The winner is the one who gets to the finish without losing the bumps.
