Complex of massage paths "Merry Journey"

This manual is intended for children 3-7 years old.

Foot massage has a beneficial effect not only on the formation of the legs and the musculoskeletal system, the child, but also on the central nervous system, and through it - on the whole organism. Therefore, it is one of the most effective ways to improve health.

Target: improvement of the child's body with the help of massage paths, by influencing the biologically active points of the foot.

Tasks:

1. Hardening of the body.
2. Prevention and correction of flat feet.
3. Development of a sense of balance and coordination of movements.
4. sensory development.
5. Preservation and strengthening of children's health.

Massage paths have several types of corrugated surface, and, therefore, differ in the degree of impact on the child's feet. Thanks to this, the tracks provide foot massage, help strengthen the ankle joint and prevent the appearance and development of flat feet in children.

Walking along the paths can be: normal, on toes, on heels, on the outer and inner sides of the foot, crawling relying on hands and feet, jumping, running. The child puts his legs in different ways, while the muscles work differently, and the nerve endings receive different signals, and as a result, the training of the neuromuscular system is obtained. In addition, children are taught to walk one after another in a column, not to push, to restrain themselves. You can use massage tracks in physical education classes and when doing gymnastics after sleep. It is more effective to carry out this type of hardening with musical accompaniment, using melodies of various tempos. You can complicate the task, and when the music stops, jump off the track onto a flat floor surface. And also, when walking, you can use verbal accompaniment games that contribute to the increased interest of children in physical activity. The tracks can be used in combination, laid out in a “snake” and set off on a fun journey, or individually, based on the goals and objectives of the lesson.

Description and characteristics of massage tracks:

1. "Magic Tracks"

It is good to use such footprints for training the correct separation of the feet, when walking, in outdoor games and entertainment.

1. "Soft Stumps"

"Stumps" are used in physical education and morning exercises for the prevention of flat feet, as well as for stepping over, jumping, running and crawling "snake".

1. "Sunflowers"

Sunflowers are made of foam rubber, beads and wooden bugs are sewn to the central part. It is used to prevent flat feet, walking, crawling (with support on the palms and feet, a “snake” between flowers), jumping (from flower to flower or through flowers), for relay races and outdoor games. You can start working with sunflowers with a poem:

Here sunflowers stand,
Along the fence is a whole row!
They reach for the sun
Full of black seeds!

1. "Beetles"

Each beetle is filled with different cereals: peas, millet, beans. Not only walking is meant, but also trampling so that the child can feel the full impact on the feet of various materials. Also, children love to touch the bugs with their hands, trying to understand what is inside, and this affects fine motor skills. A lesson with beetles can be accompanied by a poem:

In the summer, on a hot day in the meadow,
A huge beetle has arrived.
Sat on the grass,
Buzzed and flew away.

1. "Droplets"

The manual is a linoleum track, on which colored pebbles are glued in a chaotic manner. This path can be used for various types of walking, you can jump over it (“we will jump over the stream”), and you can also stroke and count the stones with your toes. Classes on this track can be accompanied by a quatrain:

A cloud flew across the sky
Drops dropped on the fields.
Decided to count them.
One, two, three, four, five!

1. "Endless Rope"

This track well tones and massages the feet. Used for various types of walking, jumping, crawling.

1. "Merry meadow"

To this linoleum path are sewn in rows: artificial grass, flowers and pebbles are glued. This alternation makes you want to step on each row. This walkway can be used for a variety of walks, especially children enjoy walking sideways with side steps. Walking can be accompanied by a quatrain:

Our little feet

walking together along the path

one two three four five

Let's go for a walk in the field.

1. "The path of traffic jams"

This path is used for walking straight, sideways, maintaining balance, posture; for jumping straight, sideways; for crawling, in outdoor games.

1. "Flowers and Pebbles"

This track is good for developing balance and coordination. You can go straight, stepping on every pebble and flower, or stepping only on the flowers, stepping over the pebbles, or only on the pebbles, stepping over the flowers. It is also good to jump sideways through this path. Can be used in mobile games.

1. "Rug of corks"

We fasten the bottle caps to the fiberboard or plywood with the help of self-tapping screws with a hole in the top (can be sewn to fabric or linoleum, it is easy to make holes in the caps with an awl). This track well tones and massages the feet. Used for different types of walking, jumping.

1. "Rainbow Bridge"

The track is made of curlers, used in the classroom for walking straight, sideways, crawling, jumping.

1. "Ladder of pencils"

This path is made of construction pencils, which are arranged in alternation horizontally and vertically. This position massages the feet better. It is used in physical education classes for the prevention of flat feet.

In this way, the use of massage tracks will greatly help in strengthening the muscles and forming the arch of the foot in a child, in the prevention of flat feet, in case of disruption of the musculoskeletal system; with improper distribution of physical load on the foot; with asymmetrical gait ; with foot deformity and flat feet .

Concerned about the health and development of your baby? Have you been advised to buy a special footpath? Would you like to do something like this yourself? You can easily make massage for kindergarten or for home use from scrap materials. Read! See photo! Do it!

What does a massage mat look like?

This thing is a relief surface of some material. In stores, rubberized products with various pimples are most often offered. They can protrude strongly above the surface or be very slightly prominent. From this depends on the sensations when walking on it. In the first case, the massage will be like running on freshly cut grass, in the second case, a walk on a soft silky lawn. Combined options are best.

Cheap, but not very durable, those on which plastic relief elements are glued or otherwise installed on top of the base. Usually these models are harsh and do not last long. Pebble rugs are also for sale. These are used for stone therapy, heating them up.

If you are into needlework or just want to make this device yourself, it is not very difficult. Do-it-yourself massage rugs for a kindergarten or at home can be made both with a fabric surface, under which a relief is created in some way, or have a clearly textured structure, for example, from sewn-on components. Either option will cost less than the purchased one.

Why do you need a massage mat

Even if your baby is in good health, doctors note the good condition of the arch of the foot and the absence of any problems, having this device is useful for preventive purposes. Almost everyone knows that there are many points on the foot, the impact on which has a beneficial effect on the body. on a massage mat provides the following benefits:

• contributes to the correct formation of the foot;
• is an ;
• improves immunity;
• stimulates the development of the baby (including speech);
• relieves nervous tension, relaxes.

In fact, this is not a new trend in the healing of the body. Since ancient times, people have walked barefoot on the ground, grass. It improved health. Now most do not have the opportunity to run on dew, mowed cereals or lawn. A good alternative would be home health treatments. And for a child, this can be combined with an exciting game and educational activities.

Do-it-yourself massage mats for kindergarten or at home are made very simply from available materials. Their cost is relatively low. The basis will be the time you spend. However, a self-made product will be a unique, original author's project. The result will delight both you and all the kids.

Do-it-yourself massage: master class

In any creative process, the main thing is to show imagination, however, there are some simple tips that you should follow. If you decide to learn how to do it, then you need to choose one of two manufacturing methods when the relief elements are:

• sewn on top of the base;
• falling asleep between layers of fabric.

Let's consider the second method first. This product is safer. The child walks on a fabric base, under which the texture of massage particles is felt. The baby will not be tempted to tear off small objects and put them in his mouth.

The form of this thing can be any. The easiest way is to make a regular rectangle or square. If you have experience in sewing, make curly options in the form of vegetables, fruits, butterflies, ladybugs, suns, clouds and any other object. Both the base and the decor can be embossed in them.

Take the fabric base and sew it in the form of a bag. Well, if the bottom is taken tighter. Make the upper part, on which they will walk, from coarse calico. You can not use too thin material such as gauze: the filler will break through it. To make a rectangular rug with filler, you need the following:

1. You can gradually pour the grits in strips along the narrow side of the rug and build up after 5-10 cm.
2. To make squares or rectangles with different alternating internal relief, you should first sew long pockets from the bottom up of the "bag", filling them with cereals, beans, balls and other small elements, stitching the fabric in a perpendicular direction.

The options discussed below are performed in the first way. If the child is big enough and he understands that it is impossible to tear off and put small parts into his mouth, then feel free to sew such a multifunctional masterpiece. If you are unsure about your child, just do not leave him unattended with this rug until he grows up.

Massage mat - development aid

To draw your child's attention to a healthy activity, provide him with an exciting game. Sew such a product that will allow you not only to walk on it with your feet and get pleasant, but also make it possible to play with its elements. Use these ideas:

• you can make parts with Velcro, zippers, buttons that come unfastened;
• ribbons and laces are threaded or untied;
• beads or other decor, move along threads or ropes. For example, a decorative toy butterfly moves from the center of the flower to the petals;
• use shreds of different textures. They can be collected in two columns in order to find the same in each;
• use bright monochromatic elements (foam rubber sponges for dishes, tubes from felt-tip pens), which can be used to learn colors.

In a word, use your imagination to the fullest.

Massage mat - walking game

Another interesting option is to invite the child to move along the path, overcoming obstacles, jumping from bump to bump. Children love to fantasize, so it’s enough to ask them to run to an imaginary pond, jump along a bridge or a path, and the kid will be carried away by the process and begin to come up with tasks himself. Everyone wants to demonstrate dexterity, courage.

Do-it-yourself massage path for children

In stores, small rugs are most often sold, on which you can step over, you won’t be able to run on them. To do this, you will have to buy several and put them in one line. It is also better to make them yourself.

Do-it-yourself massage mats-tracks are made in the same way as mentioned above. The difference is only in the shape of the base. Here a long strip is taken, but in width it can be quite narrow, for example, corresponding to the width of the child's legs spaced at shoulder level. The younger the baby, the already you can make a track. It can be expanded over time. In any case, it is better to proceed from those materials that are available.

Massage mat in half an hour

Below is the easiest way to make a rug. A massage children's version of a small size can be made from improvised materials very quickly:

1. Take any rubberized mat as a base.
2. Collect rounded round stones of approximately the same thickness on the bank of the river. You can also buy them at the pet store. They lay out the bottom of the aquariums.
3. Stick the pebbles on the base tightly or at a distance. Proceed from considerations of convenience, matching the size of the child's feet, pebbles and passes.

This is how the rug will turn out. Its only drawback is that it turns out to be heavy, and you will have to give it a special place in the apartment, since it will be problematic to constantly wear it, folding and rolling it out again.

Do children like these products (review about)

A do-it-yourself massage mat is always made carefully and with love, so creating it yourself or ordering it, you can be sure that your baby will definitely like the product.

Usually, kids first test it for strength, explore whether it is possible to disconnect, tear off something, and then they are happy to do the proposed activities: walk, walk, jump over a bridge, puddle, stone, etc. The main thing is to interest the child and play out different options scenes, then the boring “must” will turn into a pleasant “I want”.

So, you have read that do-it-yourself massage mats for kindergarten or at home are made quite simply. Any materials that have a different textured surface are used. Choose the idea you like and start creating your original healing tool.

suitability for the position

One of the main tasks of physical education of preschoolers 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 resistant and enduring, 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 largely a training of blood vessels. What does this mean? During contrast procedures (change of 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 vessels react faster. Narrowing of the peripheral vessels reduces heat loss from the body. (The skin is cold, but the inside is warm). In an unhardened person, peripheral vessels react longer. That is, heat loss is higher. Because the skin is warm. This is, of course, simplified. In addition to the vascular system, the endocrine (hormonal) and nervous systems are trained. Thermogenesis (production of heat by the body) is trained.

• What does hardening have to do with massage mats?

Hardening is not a task for the week and not training for the result.

Hardening is a way of life.

It is a mistake to think that it is obligatory to bathe in an ice hole or douse with cold water.

• Walking barefoot on the beach is hardening.
• When you swim in the river, this is also hardening.
• When in the morning at the dacha you wash your face on the street - and this is hardening.
• If you go facing into 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 a child barefoot on a massage mat, this is of course also hardening. This is a foot massage, and training of the 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.

For prevention and in the complex treatment of flat feet, massage mats are ideal.

Many authors agree that with the advent of civilization, the incidence of flat feet in children has increased. This is associated with the 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 foot and the normal tone of the muscles of the foot;

and secondly, it was an excellent tempering procedure.

Today, children very rarely walk barefoot on the ground. From early childhood, we walk in shoes (which, by the way, are more like “blocks”). 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. Best of all - 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 the kids have the opportunity to regularly walk, run or do exercises along such “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. Massaging the foot, we have a healing effect on the internal organs. That is why doctors recommend walking barefoot more often. The massage rug miraculously imitates the seashore. Thanks to the corrugated surface, the mat provides foot massage, strengthens the ankle joint and prevents the appearance and development of flat feet in children.

The use of non-traditional equipment favorably affects 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 comprehensive development of a preschooler. One of the priorities in the formation of a healthy lifestyle in preschool children is the creation of 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, primarily a motor subject-developing environment. It should be of a developing nature, be diverse, dynamic, transformable, multifunctional.

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

And our parents helped us in this.

The main value of a person, and in particular, a child of preschool age is health. It is nice to see an inquisitive baby whose eyes are shining, the movement brings him joy, and, therefore, has a positive effect on his psychological state. The law "On Education in the Russian Federation" says that every child has the opportunity to joyfully and meaningfully live the period of preschool childhood. .

Today, preschool institutions pay great attention to health-saving technologies, which are aimed at solving the most important task of preschool education - to preserve, maintain and enrich the health of children. One of the most effective forms of improving the health of children is hardening.

hardening- increasing the body's resistance to the adverse effects of a number of physical environmental factors (low or high temperature, water, etc.) through systematic dosed exposure to these factors.

The hardening of preschool children in a preschool educational institution consists of a system of activities that includes elements of hardening in everyday life and special events: air baths, water procedures, a properly organized walk, physical exercises.

Tempering children is not only dousing with water, exercise and walking in the fresh air. Strengthening the growing child's body can also be carried out by massaging special "vital" points that affect the functioning of internal organs.

In our practice of hardening a child's body, we assign a leading place to one of the non-traditional types - this is hardening with the help of massage mats and paths. The hardening method chosen by us helps to solve the following problems:

1. Harden the child's body;
2. To fill the lack of tactile sensations in children;
3. Prevention and correction of flat feet in a child;
4. To develop a sense of balance and coordination in preschoolers.

Exercises with non-standard equipment help to improve the function of balance and motor control, form the correct posture. And, what is especially important, children like such exercises, they perform them at a high emotional level.

Massage paths are an excellent opportunity to organize joint activities with children, especially at older preschool age. For example, we practice the manufacture of simple tracks in a joint work activity.

Children like to pick up sponges for tracks or rugs in shape, color, size, lay them out on the tracks, counting how many sponges will be needed. They like to lay out patterns from sponges, alternating in color and direction. And then they say with pride: “We made the hardening track ourselves.”

Thus, we also solve various educational tasks in the process of preparing and using the next massage track or rug.

In our work we use the following types of massage mats.

• Sponge massage mat. The mat is represented by foam rubber sponges of different sizes and density, which contributes to a different effect on the foot. The rug can be long or square. The basis for such a rug can be a piece of linoleum, plywood or carpet. The size is chosen arbitrarily, but taking into account the ability to walk at least 3 meters. You can walk forward and backward or around the perimeter.

• Comprehensive massage mat. The rug is decorated with improvised means (used felt-tip pens, rubber squares, covers, pebbles, etc.). Such a rug strengthens the muscles and ligaments of the lower leg and foot, promotes the proper functioning of internal organs by massaging the active points of the foot, and also gives children unusual sensations.

• Health path. Such a track not only helps to prevent flat feet, but also develops the child's attention, stability, correct foot placement when walking, and improves coordination of movements.

To complete this path, you can use softer materials: bundles and ropes of different thicknesses, oilcloth traces and buttons of different sizes, felt and adhesive film.

When using massage mats and tracks, we do not forget about the emotional mood of the child. It is very important to remember that a preschool child likes to visualize, embody in reality, the images that arise in his mind. We perform voiced actions with our children while driving.

for instance

Very often we play various fantasy games with children. Children are very interested in imagining a fabulous road in which they need to overcome various obstacles (downhill, swimming across rivers, running along a rocky road). Children can imagine themselves as their favorite cartoon characters, characters from fairy tales they read. We try to give complete freedom to children's imagination.

When using this hardening method, we rely on the following recommendations:

1. Age for training on a massage mat is recommended from 1 year.
2. Classes on massage mats and paths are best done after a day's sleep.
3. We allocate 5-7 minutes for classes.

As the practice of using massage mats and paths has shown, during the period of their use we have managed to significantly reduce the incidence of our pupils. In children, there is a positive dynamics of growth indicators, the correct posture is formed. A variety of massage mats has a positive effect not only on the prevention of children's health, but there is a noticeable improvement in the overall emotional and mental state. It develops visual activity, the susceptibility of colors, the development of imagination in children. Many parents are interested in this method of healing the body of children and they practice it at home. The use of massage mats and health paths will benefit absolutely all children.
