"In the game of children there is often a deep meaning." (Johann Friedrich Schiller )

Everyone is well aware that for the development of a sense of rhythm, tact, musical ear and memory in children, it is necessary to early years familiarize them closely with musical games.The music that accompanies the games should have an incendiary, cheerful rhythm, thanks to which the children's mood quickly rises and improves. physical activity. The musical accompaniment of various outdoor games brings only positive results, as it is the basis for the harmonious development and strengthening of children's health.

The game introduces the child to life, to communication with others, with nature, contributes to the acquisition of knowledge. It always has a specific purpose. In music gamesthis purpose is the development of intelligence, a sense of rhythm and tact, memory, ear for music, voice, creative activity child. Musical dance games contribute to the rapid memorization of the studied material, the intensity of learning, the emancipation of children, getting rid of complexes. Music introduces the child to the beautiful, to the feeling of harmony, in a word - enriches his spiritual world.

Play is an integral part of children's activities. When playing, children remember better, quickly understand what is required of them. The game helps to achieve the fulfillment of many pedagogical tasks.

Children love to invent. In order for them to express and express themselves, they need to be given as much independent time as possible to invent and implement their ideas. The task of the leading lesson is only to direct the child's imagination and impulse, and not to impose his own on him. Therefore - encourage their imagination and allocate "independent time" for the realization of their ideas.

I providegame file, that I use with children.

« Every game has its own rules." (Johan Huizinga)

"Chain"

Target : explore the possibility of entering into contact and interaction in the group.

Participants stand in a column and move in a “snake”. Their hands are in constant clutch, which, at the command of the leader, takes various forms: hands on the shoulders, on the belt, crosswise, by the hands, under the arms, etc.

At the same time, the leader changes the proposed circumstances: “we are moving along a narrow path on our toes”, “we are walking through the swamp - we are stepping carefully”, “we are stepping over puddles”, etc.

"Freeze".

Target: remove the inner clamp, help self-awareness and self-understanding, as well as the release of feelings.

Participants are located around the hall in a chaotic manner and perform dance walking on the spot. At the signal of the host (clap or whistle), they stop and freeze:

Option 1: in different poses, representing a sculpture.

Option 2: With a smile on your face.

The host makes a comment, after the second signal everyone continues to move (repeated 5-8 times). The game can be played as a "sculpture contest" and a "smile contest".

"Looking for each other."

Target: explore mutual acceptance of each other and coming into contact, develop a sense of rapid reaction.

Participants dance around the area randomly, greeting all passing members of the group with a nod of the head. The music stops - everyone must find a mate and shake hands (repeated 5-7 times).

"Everybody is dancing".

Target : warm up the body, awaken emotions, remove muscle clamps, set the mood for work.

Participants stand or sit in a semicircle. The host gives the task “the right hand is dancing”, “the left foot is dancing”, “the head is dancing”, “shoulders are dancing”, etc. The participants are improvising. On the command “everyone dance” - all parts of the body are included in the work (repeated 3-4 times). The facilitator can combine explanation with demonstration.

The game is usually held at the beginning of the lesson and can be part of rhythmic gymnastics in dance and game training.

"Round dance acquaintance"

Target: develop group feelings of cohesion, belonging, belonging, encourage entry into interpersonal relationships.

Participants form a circle and, holding hands, move slowly clockwise. The leader with a handkerchief in his hand walks in the opposite direction inside the circle, stops in front of any participant (at this moment the circle also stops moving), makes a deep Russian bow and passes the handkerchief. After a return bow, he changes places with him. The game can continue until everyone is in the lead role.

"Reverences".

Target : help orientation in space, give the opportunity to experiment with movement, realize their peculiarity of self-expression, develop the ability to improvise.

The game recreates the atmosphere of the ball.

Option 1: Participants in a slow, sedate step move around the site in a chaotic manner, while greeting everyone who comes towards them with a nod of the head. A musical pause is a signal that you need to curtsey (repeated 5-7 times).

Option 2: The group lines up in a row. The king (queen) passes along the participants, each of which, as a sign of greeting, alternately freezes in a curtsy, and stands at the end of the row. The game is repeated until everyone is the king.

"Let me invite you."

Target: opportunity to experiment with movement. Everyone becomes in a circle. The host invites any of the participants and dances with him in a pair, showing the movements that the partner “mirrors”. At the “musical pause” signal, the couple splits up and invites new members. Now there are two couples on the site, and so on, until everyone is involved in the dance process. At the same time, each invitee “mirrors” the movements of the one who invited him.

"Guitar Solo".

Target : stimulate creative expression, release of feelings, develop the ability to improvise, increase self-esteem.

"Circle Dance"

Target: to strengthen the communication of children in a team, training dance and musical memory.

Children become pairs in a circle facing each other. The host shows in advance the movements that will need to be performed to the music, they need to be rehearsed without music: side steps right and left for four counts with a beat on the last bar, then four steps back with a clap, then four steps forward and we return to the wrong pair, and, shifting to the left, to a new partner (partner). Turn on the music and dance!

« Dance of nature"

Target: coordination of movements, sense of dance space.

All the children are divided into pairs and triples (if desired, larger groups), and then, to the same music, the groups each prepare their own dance on a common theme. (for example - the dance of the sunrise, the surf, clouds, stars, fire, fountain).

It is good that you take the time to look not only at the “process” of each group of children dancing, but also arrange a general “view” of what happened. Let all the children sit in one part of the hall, as in the auditorium, and then each team in turn will show their dance.

"Dance Situation"

Target: development of movement coordination, creative imagination and improvisation.

The host of the game prepares cards with situations that will need to be played in the dance. Children are divided into teams of two to five people and receive their card. Then the music is put on and the teams are given time to prepare. The task of the children is to distribute roles, prepare and show to everyone a dance-situation, like a small scene.

The audience looks at who got what, and then they try to guess and retell what exactly, in their opinion, was played. Cards for example: The Priestess makes a fire in the Temple, the Girl collectsin the forest, the Traveler climbs the mountain, the Fire, etc.

"Dance of Fire"

Target:development of imagination, creative ingenuity.

Everything sit in a circle. They represent Fire and their common task- dance the Bonfire dance. Everyone can have their own movements, or they can be "set" by one person, and best of all - each of the dancers in turn. This - preliminary preparation to the game, after which the children can be invited to complicate it.

The whole circle becomes just travelers who rest by the Fire (savages orpirates), and only one of the dancers remains in the center and dances the Bonfire. He has the right to move in all directions like flames. Travelers try not to be burned by the Bonfire. (At the same time, the movements of those sitting around the Bonfire should remain synchronous.)

Dance without music

Target: motivation for emancipation, identification of emotions, development of dance plasticity.

Everyone stands in a circle, one person goes to the center. Children must invent and create without music for dance atmosphere. For example, rain, fire or a gust of wind. (The circle can clap, click, stomp, blow, hum, howl, swirl, bounce, etc. in a certain rhythm.)

The task of the one who remained in the circle is to feel and convey in the dance the state of space that is given to him.

There is another version of the same game: the children choose one person and then come up with a Dream for him (the fabulous circumstances in which he found himself. In this Dream, each dancer can play your role, or you can dance all together.) Task playing - with his dance, without preparation, to respond to the circumstances in which he found himself. He can interact with the characters of the Dream or even direct them, as long as the atmosphere of the Dream is "picked up" and conveyed correctly.

"Dance of the Ocean"

Target : development of creative activity, plastics.

All children are divided into three teams. Best of all - with an unequal number of people. (The first team should have the most people, the second - a little less and the third - no more than three to five people). Then the music is put on and all three teams are given the same task - to feel like a single whole with the team and come up with the Dance of the Ocean.

After preparation, the circles show each of their dances, and then they are assembled into one another to make a common Ocean of three nested circles. Each group dances their part at the same time.

Introducing children to the world of dance should be enjoyable and exciting, but what can be more interesting games for a child? Just a dance game!dance games suitable for any holiday, besides, many adults will not refuse such fun. Some dance games can be played without a reason, for example, at the end of a “tense” workout, you can play with children to relax, thus encouraging them for their diligence.There are no children in the world who do not like fun games and entertainment. And if they are still held against a musical background, this contributes to the versatile development of a small person.

As a result, we can safely say that games with musical accompaniment will ensure the development of abilities in children as a whole, and teachers will be the main assistants here.

Childhood is a state of mind. The game, and especially in combination with dance, - perfect way plunge into happy carelessness.

dancing with kids!

But you still want to work out with him at home? Your endeavor is commendable. So you will not only demonstrate your interest in the affairs of your child, but also be able to additionally entertain him and occupy him for a while. And games are not only fun, but also very useful. It will be better if you gather the child's friends - after all, playing alone is boring. Ready? Then let's start!

1. "Dancing on chairs." Chairs are arranged in a circle, children sit on them. The leader stands in the center and shows simple dance movements to cheerful rhythmic music. Mainly head, shoulders, arms, back work. This game is not a competition. It can serve as an excellent warm-up before the rest of the dance games. If the children like it, they can get up from the chairs and continue to do the exercises already with the participation of the legs: jumping, stomping, turning.

2. Everyone knows the game with music and chairs. The meaning of the game is that any number of children and chairs are selected - but in such a way that one child does not have enough. Chairs are arranged in a circle, music is turned on, children begin to run around. When the music stops, the children try to take the chair before anyone else. The one who did not have enough chair is out. However, we offer you a modernized version of the game. In it, children should not run, but dance around the chairs. Make sure that no one goes on a run - violators are eliminated!

3. "Frozen figures". This game requires several children - from three to ten, but not too many to make it easier to keep track of everyone. Pick up fun and dynamic children's music and bring a turntable. The essence of the game is that the children dance while the music plays. When she stops - this should happen suddenly - the children take any dance position and freeze. The one who moved, laughed or could not keep his balance is out.

4. "Find a friend." All you need for this game is kids, music and a certain amount of free space. Children dance to a cheerful tune, moving around the site in random order. Crossing randomly, the children greet each other with a nod of the head. The music stops abruptly, and each child must find a "friend" - that is, simply a neighbor - and greet him with a handshake. The one who did not have enough “friend” is out. This game perfectly develops reaction and facilitates socialization, because children, although in the game, learn to get to know each other.

5. "Hat". Participants break into pairs and dance to rhythmic music. The host moves around the hall with a hat and randomly puts it on the head of one of the participants, after which he changes places with him. The child with the hat, in turn, begins to walk around the room and look for someone to change with. The game ends when everyone has been "in the hat". By the way, the hat can be replaced with any item, for example, participants can pass an ordinary bottle to each other.

Children have a special relationship with music. They easily respond both to the melody itself and to the meaning of the text, they can start moving or even dancing. That's why children love musical games with movements - during such games you can have plenty of fun and never get bored!

In turn, music games are very useful for preschool and younger children. school age. They develop a sense of rhythm, artistry and coordination of movements, help develop creative abilities, teach you how to get along with people and establish contact with them. This is a great way to have fun and useful time on the street and in the house, however, it should be noted that most outdoor games require free space.

We offer you a selection of five of the best kids music games with movements that are suitable for children from 3 to 10 years old.

Game "Chairs"

This old children's game is probably known to everyone. In the middle of the room, chairs are placed in a circle, the number of which is one less than the number of children. The adult leader turns on cheerful music, to which everyone dances around the chairs. As soon as the music stops, the players must take each of their chairs. The one who did not get a chair is eliminated, while he takes one chair with him. Thus, there are always one fewer chairs than players.

Game "Wolf under the mountain"

Among the children, the one who will play the wolf is selected, the rest are considered geese. The wolf is hiding somewhere in a secluded place - "under the mountain." Children portray geese and walk to calm music. As soon as the music changes to louder and faster, the wolf jumps out and tries to catch the geese. The last one caught becomes the wolf himself.

Magic hat game

Before starting this moving musical game for kids, you need to prepare a big hat. The more unusual it looks, the more "magical" it will seem.

Children and the leading adult stand in a circle, in the hands of the leader a hat. The music turns on, and the hat begins to be passed in a circle, from hand to hand. Suddenly the music stops. The one who has a hat on his hands must put it on his head. The hat "works magic" and turns the player into some kind of character. You need to go to the center of the circle and portray someone: fairy tale hero, animal or object, while you can not use words, only sounds, movements and facial expressions. The rest of the participants in the game must guess who the owner of the magic hat represents. The one who guessed correctly gets the hat, everyone gets back into the circle and the game continues.

Music game "Mirror"

A leader is chosen who stands facing everyone else. He will be the main setter, and the rest will be his reflections in the mirror. To the cheerful and mischievous music, the presenter begins to show various movements that the “reflections” must repeat exactly. It can be jumps, squats, swings with arms or legs, dance steps - anything. At the end of the melody (usually 2-2.5 minutes), a new presenter is selected.

Game "Unusual dances"

5 short musical compositions are selected. Under the first of them you need to dance only with your hands, under the second - only with your feet, then only with your head, then - only with your face, and finally, all together.

All these moving music games for kids will be great entertainment on any children's holiday, event or just while walking with several children at the same time. If you want to use them outdoors, then instead of recorded music, you can just play short songs or even hum melodies without any words.

Children love to invent. In order for them to express and express themselves, they need to be given as much independent time as possible to invent and implement their ideas. Even if you are Maya Plisetskaya or Nikolai Baryshnikov, the task of the leader of the lesson is only to direct the child's imagination and impulse, and not to impose his own on him. Your experience will be dead for children. Therefore - encourage their imagination and allocate "independent time" for the realization of their ideas. It will be much better if you suggest dance techniques and movements to children in "their territory" when creating dances that are interesting for them. Let at first these dances may seem to you bad, not interesting, full of ostentatious "coolness". Give the kids a chance to get over it. (Typically, for their first dances, they bring something like "Hands Up" or "Red Mold"). Don't answer them. Stock up on patience. Over time, if they are constantly shown how to do BETTER, children will want to try something else.

1. Completing figures

Children are divided into two teams. Each team is invited to build their own composition-figure as follows: one person steps out of the line and assumes some beautiful pose in his opinion. (Invite him to close his eyes and take the position of the body that dictates his momentary mood, music and inspiration). The next person in the line comes up to him and tries to "complete" the composition by taking some complementary position next to the first person. It can touch the first one, it can stand close or far away from it, the main thing is that they create a common composition that fills the space.

Then the third person “adjusts” to them, the fourth, and so on - until the very last participant. As a result, each team should get a beautiful many-armed-many-legged figure.

Teams can play both simultaneously and in turn, watching each other's successes from the position of spectators.

Each child is offered his own task - to dance some animal, plant or part of the landscape. To create some images (say, a stream or a cloud), children can unite several people.

You can come up with cards yourself, but here are a few examples for you: bee, chamomile, apple tree, rose bush, lily, grasshopper, rabbit, kitten, sun, stream, cherry, lilac bush, sparrow, swallow, cloud, etc.

After this dance, invite the children to complicate the task - to dance together one common Garden. To do this, you need to explain to them what a common, group dance is, that the overall picture greatly depends on the efforts of everyone.

Then there is a gradual embedding of images in the overall picture of the dance. That is, one group of people begins to dance, let's say trees. Then animals, flowers adapt to them ... And so - until the last participant.

3. Dance of nature

4. Brook

The children join hands, and then all but the first in line close their eyes. The task of each person in the line is to repeat and pass on to the next the movements of the first. If the first raises his hand, then the second must also raise his hand, passing the movement to the third. So - until the very last person in the line. The result should be a real trickle of movements.

Then it will be possible to begin to transfer movements with steps and movement of the entire stream. After several given movements, the first person changes, going to the end of the line, and the next one behind him becomes the leader.

5. "Bird in a cage"

All children join hands and form a circle - a "cage". One remains in the center. He becomes a caged bird. He needs to dance his dance so that the cage releases him. A circle of children can play along with the Bird, raising and lowering their hands, sometimes opening an exit. The task of the cage is not to prevent the Bird from escaping, but, on the contrary, to help. But the dance must also be worthy of Freedom!

6. The ball is invisible

Children stand at a distance opposite each other or in a circle. The game is that everyone throws or passes a non-existent ball to each other. We need to help children feel this ball in their hands. It should not be small or large, twisted, light or heavy. You can invite children to rub palm against palm for a minute, and then slowly spread them apart - there is a feeling of connection between the palms. This connection needs to be extended to the size and shape of the ball.

When this stage is completed, you can try to form, feel in your hands and transfer other objects - a jug, a tray, fabric, flowers ... They can be transferred along with some kind of dance movement.

7. Mirror

The children are divided into pairs and sit opposite each other. One of them slowly begins to set movements to the music. The other becomes a "mirror", and its task is to accurately reflect all the movements of the master. He must be so detached from himself and feel like a reflection that from the side it was impossible to distinguish who sets the movements and who repeats them. Then the children switch roles.

8. Who am I?

The facilitator of the game pre-prepares for everyone a series of cards with simple concepts. (For example: a fairy tale, a sea, a wolf, Baba Yaga, a book, an asterisk, a fox, a swan, a dwarf, etc.)

Children sit in a circle. The host gives one of them a card so that others cannot peep. The child goes into the circle. His task is to dance the image given to him. Explain to the children that for this you need to strongly, strongly reincarnate in your image and dance it, as it were, "from the inside." It is useless to show the horns of a deer or the mouth of a crocodile with your hands, you need to convey with your plasticity and posture, facial expressions and movements - what a deer and a crocodile feel and then everyone will be able to guess who you are!

By giving a child a minute or two to dance, other children may begin to guess who he was. When the image is guessed, the first person gives way to the next in a circle.

9. Untangle the rope

It's pretty fun game so get ready for some noise and laughter! It is best played by a small number of people or by several teams.

Children become in a circle, hold hands and begin to get confused. They can twist, step over each other's arms and legs, sit down, lie down, lift each other up on their hands, and so on. The result is a completely unraveling tangle of children.

The facilitator turns on the music and sets the speed or pace for the participants to unravel. He says, "Now you must unravel with speed sea wave"or" Like a tropical cactus. "The task of the children is to dance and avoid "inharmonious" movements that fall out of the given rhythm, to unravel their rope.

10. Dance-situation

The audience looks at who did what, and then they try to guess and retell what exactly, in their opinion, was played out.

Example cards: A priestess makes a fire in a temple, a girl gathers flowers in a forest, a traveler climbs a mountain, a fire, etc.

11. Dance of Fire

All players sit in a circle. They represent Fire and their common task is to dance the Bonfire dance. Everyone can have their own movements, or they can be "set" by one person, and best of all - each of the dancers in turn. This is a preliminary preparation for the game, after which children can be invited to complicate it.

The whole circle becomes just travelers who are resting by the Fire (savages or pirates), and only one of the dancers remains in the center and dances the Fire. He has the right to move in all directions like flames. Travelers try not to be burned by the Bonfire. (At the same time, the movements of those sitting around the Bonfire should remain synchronous.)

12. Dance without music

Everyone stands in a circle, one person goes to the center. Without music, children must come up with and create an atmosphere for the dancer who plays. For example, rain, fire or a gust of wind. (The circle can clap, click, stomp, blow, hum, howl, swirl, bounce, etc. in a certain rhythm.)

The task of the one who remained in the circle is to feel and convey in the dance the state of space that is given to him.

There is another version of the same game: the children choose one person and then come up with a Dream for him (the fabulous circumstances in which he found himself. In this Dream, each dancer can play his role, or you can dance all together.) The task of the player is with his dance, without preparation, to respond to the circumstances in which he found himself. He can interact with the characters of the Dream or even direct them, as long as the atmosphere of the Dream is "picked up" and conveyed correctly.

13. Tale of the Rodnichka

Each child is given a card with a role (of one of the acting characters in the fairy tale) and also time to prepare their dance. After that, all the children sit down in one part of the hall, and the other becomes the hall. The host of the game begins to read the fairy tale, calling to the dance those children whose roles appear in action. Thus, a common fairy tale in dances is obtained.

Fairy tale example:

"Some early in the morning the SUN came out and illuminated the DESERT. Many, many FLOWERS, CACTUS AND PALM trees grew in this desert. A BUTTERFLY lived there. She was very hot and thirsty all the time. Then the butterfly went in search of water. In this time a cloud flew across the sky, and the butterfly asked her to let it rain, the cloud agreed and many, many DROPS flew to the ground...

But suddenly the WIND blew! He blew the rain further and the butterfly could not get drunk. And a snake appeared ahead! The butterfly asked her where to fly and the snake showed her the way. After a while, the butterfly saw real green TREES and BUSHES! And among them flowed a sonorous and young stream.

Butterfly got drunk and everything ended well!

Cards: Sun, Desert, Flower, Cactus, Palm, Butterfly, Cloud, a few Droplets, Wind, Snake, Tree, Bush, Brook.

Do not be afraid to invent such fairy tales yourself!

14. Dance-scene

All players are divided into pairs, after which each pair is given a card with images for each of them. Children distribute roles and come up with a small dance scene where their characters meet and act out some kind of story. After that, prepared dances are shown in front of everyone.

Cards: Man and Dragon, Cockroaches, Joyful elephant and butterfly, Bird and cat, Two hares are played, Octopus and fish, Penguin and seagull, Spider and carnivorous flower, Stump and young boring, Puppy and experienced dog, Swans, Doe and pig, Rooster and hen, Fly and cow, Horse and sheep,

15. Dance-tuning

All children sit in a circle, one person goes to the center. He is given a card with a role. The child should tune in to his image and dance it for a minute or a little longer. Then he "transfers" this role to another player: sitting next person goes into a circle and with his dance "adjusts" to the first. (If the first was water, then the second must feel it and also dance the water; if the first was some kind of animal, then the second must become an animal). After a while, the first person returns to their place in the circle, while the second dancer remains. He is given a new task, which he begins to dance, passing on his role further.

16. Magic land

From among the players, 2-3 people are selected who are hiding behind the door - they should not see the beginning of the dance. The rest choose 2-3 more who start to dance an impromptu dance to some music. At some point, they are commanded to "freeze". Children freeze in those positions in which the team found them. The music changes (if it was fast, you can put it slow and vice versa). Those who were waiting outside the door are invited.
