Progress of the lesson

Introduction:

Children and their teacher enter the group and are met by Aibolit.

- Hello guys!

“I have a chest for you, but it’s not simple.” It contains something that is very useful for

you. But you can’t get it just like that, Barmaley stole it. The chest is hidden in a safe place, and you can find it if you follow the path and the magic ball helps you. But the path is not easy! I wish you a happy journey! (at this moment the teacher rolls out a ball) ~

Educator:

Well guys, let's look for the chest? Ready? Let's go... (one of the children begins to wind the thread into a ball)

The first stage “Flower Glade”

- Guys, what is this on our way? (clearing).

- Look what's growing on it? (flowers).

— There are flowers growing in the clearing, and they are all different colors. Which one? (children's answers).

- What do you think about the mood of bright flowers? (children’s answers).

- Look, there is a black flower growing in a clearing, what do you think about this flower?

mood? (children's answers). - Why? (children's answers).

- What’s your mood?

- What do you think causes our mood to change? (children’s answers)

— What do we do in the morning to cheer ourselves up? (charging).

- That's right, now we'll do some exercises.

Fizminutka

(at the discretion of the teacher).

- Well done boys! I see your mood has become more cheerful, I’m happy for you. And we move on. (they continue to wind up the ball, the ball leads the children to the closed Moidodyr).

Second stage "Moidodyr"

- Guys, look, Barmaley left us an envelope here, let’s open it and see what’s there. (Open it). - Here’s a task, you need to guess which fairy tale this excerpt is from

The blanket ran away, the sheet flew away,

And the pillow, like a frog, jumped away from me.

I am for a candle, A candle in the stove!

I'm for a book, then run,

And jump under the bed!

(“Moidodyr” by K. Chukovsky), (the teacher opens Moidodyr).

Strengthening children's health is one of the main and main tasks for kindergarten teachers.

An important role in the fight against flat feet is played by foot massage using a massage mat. The massage mat has no age restrictions, has a beneficial effect on the health of the body as a whole: blood supply to the body improves, muscles and joints develop, coordination of movements, which allows the legs to rest, and also - which is especially important for young children - to correctly form the arch of the foot. November 25, 2014 Our kindergarten hosted the “Health Path!” competition. All groups of the preschool institution took part in the competition, and parents of the students also took an active part in the competition. The competition was opened with a formation and a short warm-up, where teachers were asked questions about their knowledge of physical development according to the Federal State Educational Standard for Education, after which all teams were drawn.


Each group presented its own “Health Path”. Each track was original and interesting in its own way. Participants used a variety of non-traditional equipment in production: felt-tip pens, beads, sponges, curlers, cubes and much more. The competition was evaluated by members of the jury: 1. Pritula Antonina Vasilievna – head of MBDOU d/s No. 37 “Solnyshko”; 2. Ausheva Marina Mikhailovna – teacher; 3. Bogatyreva Elena Aleksandrovna – head of the GMO for physical culture. And at the end, while the jury was evaluating and summing up the results, we performed fun exercises to cheerful, sports music, and walked along the health paths. The music room had a sporty atmosphere! And here's the finale! The results of the “Path of Health” competition were presented by the head of GMO in physics. culture Bogatyreva Elena Aleksandrovna. All participants received diplomas in the following categories:

“Originality” - won gr. No. 06 “Why” (Anna Fedorovna Tolstova, Tatyana Yuryevna Sartakova). "Safety" - gr. No. 03 “Strawberry” (Nina Yakovlevna Milyushkina, Elena Sergeevna Alekseeva).

“Merry path” - group No. 09 “Chamomile” (Marina Mikhailovna Ausheva, Svetlana Nikolaevna Kolmakova).


“On the path to health” - gr. No. 01 “Bell” (Yulia Arkadyevna Puginskaya, Anna Alekseevna Kozachenko). “Rainbow of Mood” - gr. No. 10 “Spikelet” (Tatyana Petrovna Shkurupinskaya). "Glade of Health" - gr. No. 11 “Bee” (Lyubov Gerasimovna Zatoplyaeva). “Starfall of ideas” - gr. No. 05 “Rowanka” (Oksana Dmitrievna Kuznetsova, Lidiya Alekseevna Nedomolkina). “Cleanliness is the key to health” - gr. No. 08 “Star” (Tatyana Vyacheslavovna Vasilyeva, Galina Mikhailovna Suvorova). “Multi-colored labyrinth” - group No. 07 “Sun” (Victoria Sergeevna Senkova, Oksana Viktorovna Kalmykova). “Non-traditional physical education” - gr. No. 04 “Lingonberry” (Vera Nikolaevna Sukhodolova). But, as in any competition, there is always a way to win - 1st place went to teachers of group No. 02 “Smorodinka” Nina Anatolyevna Anuchina and Evgenia Matveevna Sklyanova.

The use of massage mats and paths in physical education and health work

suitability for the position held

One of the main tasks of physical education of preschool children is the use of various forms of work with children, which contribute to the functional improvement of the child’s body, increase its performance, make it resilient and hardy, with high protective abilities to adverse environmental factors, i.e. create conditions for all children to grow up healthy.

Hardening

Let me remind you of the well-known phrase that hardening is in many ways vascular training. What does this mean? During contrast procedures (changing warm and cold water), the vessels first expand (in warm water) and then narrow (in cold water). Such training of blood vessels to the effects of cold receptors will help reduce heat transfer if you go outside. In a hardened person, the blood vessels react faster. Constriction of peripheral blood vessels reduces heat loss from the body. (The skin is cold, but the warmth remains inside.) In an unhardened person, peripheral vessels react longer. That is, heat loss is higher. Precisely because the skin is warm. This is, of course, oversimplified. In addition to the vascular system, the endocrine (hormonal) and nervous systems are trained. Thermogenesis (heat production by the body) is trained.

  • What does hardening have to do with massage mats?

Hardening is not a task for a week and not training for results.

Hardening is a way of life.

It is a mistake to think that this is necessarily swimming in an ice hole or dousing with cold water.

  • When you walk along the beach barefoot, this is hardening.
  • When you swim in the river, this is also hardening.
  • When in the morning at the dacha you wash your face outside - and this is hardening.
  • If you walk facing against the wind, without even thinking about hardening, it just happens - it’s still hardening.

Therefore, when you stand on a massage mat or play with your child barefoot on a massage mat, this is, of course, also hardening. This includes a foot massage, training of the blood vessels of the feet, and training of the nervous and endocrine systems of the body.

Flat feet. Treatment of flat feet. Prevention of flat feet.

Massage mats are ideal for the prevention and complex treatment of flat feet.



Many authors agree that with the advent of civilization, the incidence of flat feet in children has increased. This is associated with early wearing of shoes, as well as walking, albeit barefoot, but on flat surfaces. Indeed, village children used to constantly walk barefoot on the ground, which,

firstly, it contributed to the formation of the arches of the feet and the normal tone of the foot muscles;

and secondly, it was an excellent hardening procedure.

Today, children very rarely walk barefoot on the ground. From early childhood we wear shoes (which, by the way, are more like “lasts”). And even spanking barefoot on the bare floor, as orthopedists note, is rather harmful for the prevention of flat feet.

To prevent the development of flat feet, the surface on which we walk barefoot must be uneven. The best choice is earth, sand or coastal pebbles.

The use of massage mats for the prevention of flat feet is even better than natural helpers.

My massage mats have several types of corrugated surface , and, therefore, differ in the degree of impact on the child’s feet.


Classes will be interesting and effective if children have the opportunity to regularly walk, run or do exercises along the following “health paths”:

They provide a deep therapeutic effect and unforgettable pleasure for babies. Excellent foot massage and prevention of various diseases and good mood.


On the feet and palms of a person there are reflexogenic zones associated with almost all internal organs. Irritation of these zones has a normalizing effect on all body functions.

The massage mat is a brilliant invention. By massaging the foot, we have a healing effect on the internal organs. This is why doctors recommend walking barefoot more often. The massage mat miraculously imitates the seashore. Thanks to the corrugated surface, the mat provides foot massage, helps strengthen the ankle joint and prevents the appearance and development of flat feet in children.


The use of non-traditional equipment has a beneficial effect on the formation of all systems and functions of the body, satisfies the child’s needs for movement, causes great delight and serves as a means of all-round development of the preschooler. One of the priority tasks of creating a healthy lifestyle in preschool children is creating motivation, training and instilling healthy lifestyle skills in preschool children.

An important direction in the formation of the foundations of a healthy lifestyle in children is a properly organized subject-spatial environment, first of all, a motor subject-development environment. It should be developmental in nature, diverse, dynamic, transformable, and multifunctional.

To do this, in our group we use non-standard physical education equipment made by ourselves, because new sports equipment is always an additional incentive to activate physical education and health work.

And our parents helped us with this.

About Us

Educational, health-improving, developmental and therapeutic-preventive activities for different age groups, carried out in our kindergarten, are aimed at solving these problems.

An increase in the information load and, accordingly, the number and duration of classes - all this leads to fatigue in children, disruptions in the daily routine: a reduction in walks, daytime sleep, free time, and, of course, negatively affects the health of preschoolers. The teachers of our preschool educational institution understand the importance and necessity of health-improving measures in such a situation. To successfully solve problems of health improvement and comprehensive development, a variety of methodological literature is used, primarily a program that clearly defines the main areas of work for each age, as well as the “Green Light of Health” (M.Yu. Kartushina), which helps organize classes and health-improving activities for more interesting and exciting.

It is in preschool age that vitally important basic locomotor skills and abilities are formed, the foundation of motor experience is created, the ABC of movement is mastered, from the elements of which all human motor activity is subsequently formed. If we take into account that physical activity is both a condition and a stimulating factor in the development of intellectual, emotional and other spheres, the need for intensive scientific development of issues of physical education of preschool children becomes obvious.

It is no secret that children spend most of their time at home in a static position (at a table, computer, etc.), which increases the load on certain muscle groups and causes them to tire. The strength and performance of skeletal muscles decreases, which entails poor posture, flat feet and delayed age-related development.

After conducting a diagnostic examination of the pupils’ feet (together with a doctor), we noticed that the number of children with musculoskeletal disorders is increasing from year to year. (According to research, 75% of preschoolers in kindergarten have various musculoskeletal diseases). As children grow, they experience various types of deformities in the spine, legs and feet.

With flat feet, the spring, shock-absorbing role of the foot decreases or disappears, as a result of which the internal organs become poorly protected from shocks. The main reason for its occurrence is weak musculo-ligamentous apparatus of the foot.

After analyzing all the data, the teachers asked themselves a very important question: how, in what way, can children relieve signs of fatigue and thereby strengthen the arch of the foot? Theoretical, organizational and methodological approaches have been developed to compensate for the negative impact of increased intellectual stress. The idea came up to use non-standard methods of preventing flat feet, for example, a “Health Track”, equipped both in the gym (for exercise in the cold season) and on the street (summer option).

“The Health Track” is a set of natural, environmentally friendly materials with different surfaces (to develop the tactile sensations of the feet): - small wooden balls (1.5-2 cm in diameter); — massage paths with spikes of different heights; - river stones (diameter 5-8 cm and 10-15 cm);

The “health track” can be used either in its entirety or in individual cells. For example, a dry pool in games, etc.

Walking along various surfaces of the path, children receive a consistent impact on the biologically active zones located on the surface of the foot, associated with the immune system, helping to strengthen the muscles of the foot and lower leg and having a positive effect on the formation of the arches of the foot.

When walking on various surfaces, the foot first flattens somewhat, then (as it passes) with the help of active muscle contraction it returns to its original position. Active points and zones located on the foot contribute to the hardening of the child’s body. They are also an excellent means of preventing and correcting flat feet, which is easier to prevent than to treat.

The foot is the foundation, the support of our body, and any violation of its development can affect the child. Since ancient times, humanity has had knowledge that individual parts of our body interact with other parts of the body and the entire organism. In the human body there are countless correspondence systems, which are energy-informational copies of the entire organism or its individual parts. For greater clarity and convincingness in the search for points of correspondence with internal organs directly in the direction of children’s movement along the “Path of Health,” it is useful to mark a diagram of the foot with images of organs (heart, ears, eyes, liver, etc.). During classes, the teacher focuses the pupils’ attention on the corresponding area of ​​the foot, encourages them to find points corresponding to the internal organs, which in turn is also an indirect massage.

Skin folds in the area of ​​the finger joints are the boundaries between parts of the body; their sequential locations on the body correspond to the head, chest, and abdomen. The presence of clear landmarks on the foot for searching for treatment points allows preschoolers to accurately understand the placement of organs and their stimulation for therapeutic purposes.

The feet and hands (in Eastern medicine) are remote controls for human health. Using them incorrectly will never harm the child - it will simply be ineffective.

What are the goals of the mini-project we have developed?

Objectives: - to prevent the development of flat feet in children; - create conditions that correspond to a higher level of motor development of the child.

Objectives (inclusion of the “Health Path” in the healing process, taking into account age characteristics and characteristics of physical development): - prevent the development of flat feet; — increase the protective forces of the child’s body and the impact of various irritants on the foot through self-massage of biologically active points; - bring children to the understanding that each person must take care of his own health; — ensure normal physical development, protection and promotion of health; - gradually harden the body and increase its resistance to environmental influences; - promote activity, independence, and discipline.

Mini-project implementation stages:

— the use of non-standard methods for the prevention of flat feet in physical education classes and in independent motor activity, the inclusion of the “Health Path” in the hardening system after sleep; — use of the “Health Track” as physical education and correctional equipment to increase physical activity; — development of static and dynamic stability (equilibrium).

Step-by-step work in correcting ODA defects

Participants of the mini-project: pupils of middle, senior and preparatory school groups. Management and support of the mini-project: - the versatility of the “Health Path” (with ordinary walking on various surfaces you can treat any part of the body, any organ and joint); — accessibility (no skills or abilities are needed, it’s enough to walk once, overcoming fear and slight discomfort, and then enjoy walking again); — ease of use; — high efficiency (a pronounced effect occurs after 2-3 weeks of daily walking for 3-4 minutes); — absolute safety (stimulation of biologically active points on the foot leads to the prevention of the formation of flat feet and its cure).

This healing system was created by nature itself, and man skillfully applies it. This is her strength and security.

Evaluation of the results of the mini-project: - reduction in the development of flat feet; — improvement of muscle-joint sense (kinesthesia) and tactile (skin) sensations; - general relaxation (relaxation) of the body and its individual limbs; - aesthetic appeal and playful orientation; — design versatility; — the use of inexpensive, accessible material that is durable, hygienic, and pleasant to the touch; — simplicity of design, allowing to achieve the maximum possible pedagogical and correctional-developmental effect.

The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of more effectively adjusting regulated physical education classes for preschoolers and promoting a targeted emphasis on the development of certain physical qualities.
