Much has been written about the game, game behavior. The game is not a product of passing fashion. This is a phenomenon characterized by a special constancy that unites time, epochs, generations. The very concept of play is associated with freedom, goodwill, pleasure, joy. Play is an integral part of life and human culture. Pedagogy connects play and play behavior with the processes of upbringing, education and personality development.
Today I will try to reveal some of the psychological, biological and pedagogical aspects of play, formulate the requirements for play activities, and define the functions of the organizer of games. I will also offer specific outdoor games to increase the physical activity of children with mental and physical disabilities.
GAME IN THE LIFE OF A CHILD.
Play as a form of activity takes a huge place in a child's life. A person's desire to play arises in early childhood and accompanies him all his life: from a rattle and a doll to gambling. The secret of this phenomenon lies in the psychophysical sphere of man. Indeed, if a person sits for a long time in one position, then he feels the need for movement. Energy is looking for a way out, and the child makes movements without any purpose: running, jumping, pushing.
Another point of view is that the game itself is not so much a waste of energy as its source. However, these two views do not reveal the true connection of play with the inner world of a person, Therefore, the question naturally arises about the meaning of the essence of play in childhood, since this type of activity occupies a dominant place in the life of a child, both healthy and with developmental disabilities. Let's take a look at some of the basic concepts of the game.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE GAME.
The psychological basis of the game is the domination of feelings in the child's soul, freedom of expression, sincere laughter, tears, delight, that is, natural emotional essence a child who seeks expression, both in the physical and mental realms. If the child is asked to imagine that he is a thin birch, which exposes its thin twigs to the rays of the sun and sways from a light breeze, then he will make smooth slopes smoother and more expressive than shown, since the images and emotions corresponding to the task will allow the child to perform movements more accurately and right. At the same time, it forms:
Ability to distinguish between one's own muscle sensations (smoothness, pace, rhythm, range of motion, motor dexterity appears).
Thanks to this, mental functions also develop:
Ability to direct attention to one's own emotional sensations and the emotions of others;
The ability to manage your feelings.
Taking part in games, children very directly and violently experience all the events of the game, because no matter how many times the game is repeated, it takes place in a new way every time and is fraught with many surprises. The mere anticipation of the game often evokes positive emotions in children, pleasant excitement, and the expectation of joy. The plot of the game (especially the role-playing one) contributes to the emotional self-expression of the child. Children easily transform into a heron, a wolf, a locomotive bird, etc. And turning into heroes of a fairy tale, they are not surprised that a locomotive is talking to a traffic light, and a frog is talking to a heron. Children take play with a naive seriousness and protect it. Fantasy and reality merge together. While playing, the child gets used to various images, gets acquainted with the diversity of social reality. Entering into communication, he learns his inner world and the relationships of people, the secrets of their interactions and experiencing joys and failures. At first, he only imitates, then a period of comprehension comes, in order to later independently determine his own social and psychological motives and attitudes. Landmarks. Children have a better developed intuitive ability than adults to capture someone else's emotional state, so it is important not to miss this fertile time for the child's development of empathy, compassion, and sociability. Kindness. Children with disabilities, regardless of the degree and depth of pathological disorders, with competent organization of outdoor games, can enjoy communication and achieve great success in physical and psychomotor development. The only requirement for outdoor games is they should always be of interest to children and aimed at joint movement and contact with other children.
BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE GAME.
In children with developmental disorders, the deficit of movement leads to pronounced functional and morphological changes. It is noted that with hypokinesis (inactivity) in children, the activity of biochemical processes decreases, immunity to colds and infectious diseases weakens, the range of possibilities of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems narrows, the neuromuscular apparatus is weakened, various posture defects are formed, which leads to muscle hypotension, a decrease in the mobility of the chest in all its parts, a general weakening of the body and a decrease in vitality. A characteristic consequence of these violations is the deterioration of physical and psychomotor qualities:
Coordination of movements;
Accuracy and responsiveness;
The speed of the motor reaction;
Joint mobility;
Equilibrium;
Muscle strength;
Endurance;
Overall working capacity.
In other words, the body begins to age ("A body without movement is like stagnant water, which grows moldy and rots" Maksimovich - Abodika EM). The only measure to prevent and eliminate the negative consequences of hypokenia, especially during summer holidays, is the expansion of physical activity, hardening, the widespread use of outdoor games and games of a sports nature. It is known. That children with various deviations in health, with pathology of vision, hearing, the consequences of cerebral palsy, with intellectual problems have different physical capabilities, and this feature must be taken into account when conducting outdoor games. Conventionally, regardless of age, three groups of children are distinguished, characterized by high average and low mobility.
Children with great mobility are distinguished by high reactivity, unbalanced behavior, they are more likely than others to find themselves in conflict situations. Due to excessive mobility, such children do not always have time to grasp the essence of the game, as a result of which they have a low degree of awareness of their actions. Usually. They do simple exercises well, but avoid movements that require precision. Concentration. Restraint of behavior. Their movements are sharp, quick, and often useless. The increased intensity of the game is more likely to cause fatigue, which affects the general behavior.
Children medium mobility They are distinguished by the most even, calm behavior, moderate mobility. They are emotional, reckless, usually confident, clear-cut, purposeful.
Sedentary children sluggish, passive, get tired quickly, try to walk away, so as not to interfere with anyone, choose an activity that does not require a lot of space. Such children do not dare to come into contact with peers, so they need constant help from adults. This deficiency in the child's behavior is most often explained by poor motor experience due to pathology and the formed habit of a sedentary lifestyle.
PEDAGOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE GAME.
In order to successfully choose an outdoor game, it is important to take into account not only the interests of children, but also age characteristics, their mental and physical development, so children of primary school age (7 - 9 years old) are distinguished by special mobility, instability of attention, constant need for movement. However, their body is not yet ready for prolonged stress, the strength of such children is quickly depleted, but after the game they quickly recover. This group of children enjoys playing imitation games, story games, with jogging, dodging the driver, jumping, catching and throwing various objects (Day and Night, Calling numbers, Ball to a neighbor, Jumping on stripes, etc. )
Between the ages of 10 and 12, the development of coordination abilities is noticeably better. Strength, speed, which leads to better body control and the ability to more complex outdoor games. The development of operational thinking, the stability of attention and interest characterize the psyche of children. given age... This is especially important, since children of this age begin to be interested in games with elements of competition between individual participants (teams). The games of children 10 - 12 years old are distinguished by a longer duration and intensity of the load. ("Circular rounders", "Rope underfoot", "Shootout", "Fight for the ball", "Pulling over the line", etc.). At this age, volitional qualities are formed and strengthened in children, independence, courage, initiative, and decisiveness is more vividly manifested. Children demonstrate discipline, activity and endurance. But under the wrong load, there are frequent flashes of sharpness. Rudeness, impatience. Therefore, during the game, excessive excitement and tension should not be allowed.
Adolescence 13 - 15 years old. It is also called transitional, since during this period the whole organism develops and grows intensively. The bone and muscular systems are growing rapidly, the cardiovascular system instantly reacts to physical activity and recovers relatively quickly. More developed logical thinking, the ability to analyze and generalize determine the motives of the adolescent's behavior. Sometimes adolescents completely abandon classes, preferring other forms of leisure. In such cases, it is necessary to show tact and restraint. Patience, combining them with exactingness. Ability to avoid conflict situations... Teenagers are happy to play volleyball, tennis and other sports games, among outdoor games - relay races with running, jumping, throwing ("Circular rounders", "Ball to the captain", games with overcoming combined obstacles that require accuracy, ability to navigate in space, coordination movements, speed of reaction.).
When working with older children 16-18 years old, games of the previous age group... While playing, they focus on the tactics and results of the game, showing greater independence. Many of them take on the role of the leader, the captain of the team, organizing the coordinated actions of the players.
Purposefully selected outdoor games can develop in disabled children:
Fine motor skills;
Coordination of movements;
Equilibrium;
Accuracy
Differentiation of efforts, time, space;
Improve the quality of attention, sound reproduction;
Help the development of elementary mathematical representations, that is, they stimulate the development of the physical, psychomotor and intellectual abilities of children.
PREPARATION, ORGANIZATION AND GAME MANAGEMENT.
Any game is preceded by an explanation given in the following sequence:
Name of the game;
The roles of the players and their location on the playground;
The rules and the course of the game;
Determination of the winners.
Shouts of joy, freedom of expression, cheering for the fans and general noise are the natural accompaniments of an active game. Upon graduation, her children also emotionally accept their victory or defeat. It is imperative for the leader to give all participants a fair assessment. Bias always causes negative emotions and even resentment. You need to finish the game on time. Procrastination can lead to loss of interest in children. A sudden stop is also undesirable. One of the important tasks of the head of the game is dosing the load. The load can be regulated in various ways: reducing the duration of the game; introduction of rest breaks; a change in the number of players; decrease in the field of the playing area; changing the rules; changing the role of the players; switching to another game.
Thus, in the organization and methodology of outdoor games, a number of successive stages of preparation can be distinguished:
The choice of the game (depends on the correctional tasks);
Preparing the place for the game (take all precautions);
Preparation of inventory (think over and prepare in advance);
Site markings (borders are clearly delineated, the border line is not more than 3 meters from obstacles: walls, trees, stumps);
The arrangement of the players (indicate the starting position, make sure that the children do not stand facing the sun);
Explanation of the rules and course of the game (determination of the roles of the players and their location, content and rules of the game);
Appointment of drivers (choice at will, by lot);
Judging (objective and accurate);
Load dosage (insignificant, moderate, tonic, developing);
The end of the game (when the first signs of fatigue appear and a decrease in interest, behavior, composition of the players);
Summing up (a brief analysis of the game with an analysis of mistakes with the involvement of the children themselves, which contributes to the development of observation, clarification of the rules of the game, teaches them to comprehend actions and conscious discipline).
Sincerity, benevolence, cheerfulness and openness, empathy and the ability to help, to notice successes - these are the qualities that attract children, arouse their sympathy and respect for an adult, and sometimes are the main motive for participating in the game.
MOVING GAMES FOR CHILDREN WITH INTELLIGENT PROBLEMS.
This category includes children with disabilities, manifested in persistent disorders cognitive activities arising from organic damage to the cerebral cortex. This is a developmental disorder in which not only intellect suffers, but also emotions, will, behavior, and physical development. However, despite numerous deviations in all spheres of life, children with moderate mental retardation are capable of learning and development. In this case, pedagogical means, principles and methods are of a correctional and developmental nature and are aimed at maximum overcoming (or weakening) the deficiencies of the cognitive, emotional-volitional and motor spheres with an orientation towards the child's positive capabilities. The most adequate form of overcoming and compensating for these shortcomings is physical activity, wherein leading place belongs to an outdoor game.
GAME "TOUCH TO ..."
PURPOSE:
Formation in the child of ideas about the shape, size and other properties of objects;
Development of speed of reaction.
PROGRESS OF THE GAME:
All players are dressed differently. The host shouts out: "Touch the blue!" Players must instantly orient themselves, find something blue from the participants in the game and touch this color. The colors change every time, who did not have time to react in time, becomes the leader.
Variants: You can name the shape and size of the item. Then we complicate it: "Touch the red round."

Fish, beast, bird
The players are seated at the sides of the room. They choose the driver. He walks past them, repeating three words: "Fish, beast, bird ..." Suddenly stopping in front of someone, he says loudly one of these words, for example, "bird." The player must immediately name a bird, for example "hawk". You cannot hesitate and name those animals, fish or birds that have already been named before. Anyone who gags or answers incorrectly, pays a fant, and then “buys” it out (reads poetry, sings, etc.)
Trap
This interesting game tests the agility and intelligence of the participants. Three are playing - the rest are watching and waiting for their turn.
Two hunters stand at the edges of the table. A two-meter rope or cord tied in a large loop serves as a trap - only a half-knot is made.
Loop diameter 25-30 cm.
Hunters hold the ends of the cord so that the loop ring touches the table.
At a distance of 15-20 cm from the loop, a bait (cube, toy) is placed on the table.
A player comes up to the table, makes deceptive movements, checking the reaction of the hunters. Seizing the moment, with a quick movement, he puts his hand through the loop and, grabbing the bait, pulls it back.
Hunters are trying at this moment to tighten the loop so that a hand gets into it. The participants in the game take turns changing their roles.
This attraction can also be carried out between teams.
For this, two hunters are allocated from each team, who will catch all the remaining members of the enemy team.
Everyone is given one try. If he wins, he brings his team one point.
The winning team is determined by the highest number of points scored. Other conditions of the competition are also possible.
Don't hurt!
The players stand in a circle, holding hands tightly.
In the middle of the circle, pins are placed in random order, approximately at a distance of 50 cm from one another.
At the judge's signal, each player, without unclenching his hands, tries to push his neighbors onto the pin.
As soon as the first pin is knocked down, the game is paused. The pin is placed again, and the player who knocked the pin is eliminated from the game.
The rest, holding hands, resume the game at the signal.
It should be remembered that pushing is allowed only with your hands, without letting go of the neighbors' hands. And one more thing: if a player, without dropping the pin, breaks the chain three times (releasing his hand), he is out of the game.
By the end of the game, when the number of participants becomes small, you can reduce the number of pins and the distance between them.
Prize with a secret
For this game you will need a large box, postcards according to the number of participants in the game, prizes for each participant.
Cut each card in half. On the back of one of the halves, write the name of the prize (postcard, sticker, pen, notebook, etc.), and on the other half, write the assignments.
Tasks can be as follows:
- Sing a song
- Recite a verse
- Ask an interesting question
- Tell a funny story
- Make a riddle Make a wish
- Sing a duet with a friend
- Say a phrase, an aphorism for thought
If you have many participants in the game, you can write the same tasks twice or come up with others. Put the halves of the task cards in a box, and put the halves of the cards with the names of the prizes in a prominent place in the room where the game is being built. Invite each person present to take from the box the halves of a postcard with an assignment and take turns doing what is written in the postcard. After completing the task, the player is looking for the other half of his postcard in the room, where the name of the prize he deserves is written. When the half is found, and the halves of the card match, the host must present this player with the prize indicated on the card. All players should follow the same principle.
Drawing together
Invite two players to come forward and draw a joint drawing on the same Whatman paper. One condition must be met: blindfold the players. Suggest a theme for the drawing (nature, pets, etc.). Let the players agree in advance about who will draw what. Then blindfold them and ask them to draw a drawing.
After the drawing is complete, untie the eyes of the players and invite them to look at what is drawn. Most likely, the drawing will be unaligned, mistakes will be made.
Summarize. Often in our life, sin closes our eyes, like this bandage. And the episodes of our life are sometimes uncoordinated, we make mistakes. But God removes the blindfold called "Sin" from our eyes and we see all the imperfection of our nature. And this is even very funny!
Pattern on the back
How close are you to each other, how does your group have cohesion and community? The following activity will help you answer this question: Have the group sit or stand one behind the other in one line. If the group is large, divide it into two teams.
The leader in the ear must say the word to the last person in the line. Words should not be complex, so that they can be portrayed. For example: house, sun, flower, person, table, etc.
The latter on the back of the previous person should "draw" with an unhardened pencil what the presenter said. The one on whose back it was painted must understand what is at stake, and draw the same on the back of his neighbor in front, and so on from player to player.
When a drawing is "drawn" on the back of the first standing in a line, he must tell the leader what was drawn on his back. The presenter compares the word that he said to the last person and heard from the first. If the words coincide, that is, "sun-sun", then the team is close to each other, they can feel the train of thought of the other. If not, then it is necessary to advise to show more trust in each other, to be closer in communication.
Balloon with wishes
In a simple, free environment, you can play a game - wish. Inflate a small ball and invite everyone present to toss it from one person to another so that the ball does not fall on the floor or on other objects. In this case, the presenter must turn on the tape recorder or play any musical instrument.
After a short time, the presenter stops the music. The person who last touched the ball before the music stopped must say the wish out loud to everyone present or to one person.
Examples of wishes:
I wish you a clear sky
Live without fear, sadness and evil.
So that the soul strives for beauty
And she found shelter with Christ.
(S. Svistun).
Without faith, life is dark, painful, unbearable,
Without faith, there is no drop of joy in her.
Ask God for fruitful faith
And a quiet light will be shed into your life.
Do not be blinded by deceit
Mutilated by vanity,
If you were born a man
Always be human.
(N. Khosrov).
Life is a moment, just a moment
But only it is years long
How important it is to honor everything for rubbish
And find salvation in God.
(S. Svistun).
What passes, we do not own,
Only the present belongs to us
While we regret the past
Life will turn the coming day into the past.
(R. Gamzatov).
Don't choose your friends by sight
On a difficult life path.
After all, beautiful shoes
They often rub our feet.
(S. Svistun).
When you want to grumble
Think about others who find it harder
And learn to notice everywhere
Grains of happiness in the tumult of days.
(Mariah).
To love Christ is my soul's aspiration,
Love Him with all your heart and soul.
And always live according to God's command,
Just as my Redeemer tells me.
(Enon).
If you go dear greed,
You will die soon.
Wealth is just a bait, you will be lost
Trapped in grief
(M. Salman).
We will all die, there are no immortals,
And all this is known and not new.
But we live to leave a mark:
House or path, tree or word.
(R. Gamzatov).
Don't be sad, smile more often
Even if there is no joy
And then it will pour into your heart
Endless light of God.
(S. Svistun).
This evening will pass and fade away
Like everything on earth will fly by.
Only Christ can give you happiness
Justify, reassure, forgive.
(A. Isaev).
Faith keeps the blameless
Draws wickedness into sin.
Faithful to the covenant of the Father
We will be successful.
Than for general happiness it is useless to suffer -
Better to give happiness to someone close.
Better to tie a friend to yourself with kindness,
Than to free mankind from fetters.
(O. Khayyam).
Often give a person
It costs us only half an hour
To create in his heart
True miracles!
(K. de Haan).
When your soul is in doubt
Persecuted night and day.
Bend your knees before God -
You will find comfort in Him.
(V. Kuzmenkov).
Life is a carpet. But I was weaving ineptly,
And now I am ashamed of myself.
Lots of extra lines and spaces
I find in my pattern.
(R. Gamzatov).
In life it is not necessary for many reasons
By title to boast, to boast and rank.
It should be remembered both old and young,
And the most ascended in this number:
To be a man in the sublunary world -
The highest office on a sinful earth.
(B. Karabaev).
Sometimes a word is enough
To cheer up a person.
So that from the heart of a sinner, sick
I was able to break through a spring of living water.
(S. Svistun).
Intuition-entertainment
Each player states three things pertaining to him. Two of them are correct, and one is not (the order is arbitrary). The rest of the players try to guess what is correct. The one who guesses correctly gets a point. You can play for the winner.
What's in the backpack?
The team players take turns running up to the presenter, who has a backpack full of various things in his hands. On command, each of them puts his hand into the backpack (you can't look !!!), gropes for any thing and says what it is, and then pulls it out - to check. Teams are given a certain amount of time, and the winners are those who learn as many things as possible.
Quack quack! (Or grunt, piggy, grunt!)
Do you know the voices in your group well? Everyone sits in a circle on chairs or just on the floor. The man, who is blindfolded, sits in the middle with a pillow in his hands. After he is blindfolded, everyone changes places and remains silent. The driver tries to feel someone's knees with a pillow, then puts the pillow on those knees and says: "Quack, quack!" A player with a pillow on his lap must answer him as well (it is allowed to change his voice). The driver must identify the player by his voice and give his name. He is given 3 attempts. If the driver guesses correctly, they change places.
Check your observation
Option A
3 players leave the room. The presenter invites those who remain in it to accurately describe the players who have left (appearance, character traits, data on the place of study, etc.). To draw an analogy: surely someone will be on the sidelines. Option B
The players stand opposite each other in pairs, at the command of the leader, they peer at each other for 15 seconds, then turn their backs and begin to answer the questions of the leader about each other. The winner is the one who gives the most complete and correct answers.
Option B
One player exits, everyone changes places. One player is covered with a blanket. The player enters and tries to guess who is sitting under the covers.
History from the header
10 people write one word of their choice on separate pieces of paper. The leaves are collected and mixed in a hat. The other 10 people take one piece of paper from the hat and read it to themselves. The essence of the game is to tell a coherent story using the words from the header. The first player starts with the word "Once ..." and comes up with a sentence with the word he pulled out. The second continues and so on. At the same time, those who pulled out the sheets from the cap write their words on other sheets of paper and put them in the cap. They are taken out by those who were the first to write the words. Then two teams come up with a story in turn.
Speaking words
Option A
Gather groups of 6 people, have each come up with a six-letter word (do not say it out loud!). Letters are distributed to each member of the group. Children pronounce all letters at the same time, and other commands must guess the word.
Option B
On the pieces of paper, proverbs are written in advance according to the number of teams, given that there should be as many players in a team as there are words in a proverb, for example: -It's quieter - you will continue; -You can't get a fish out of the pond without difficulty; - Measure seven times - cut one. Each player chooses one word for himself, and everyone speaks their words together. The other teams must guess what was said. Instead of proverbs, you can use the names of songs or their first lines, biblical verses, but everything should be generally known.
Musical instruments
Divide everyone into several teams. Each team receives a sheet with the name of a musical instrument and must depict the game on it, supplementing it with sounds and movements. The group is given a minute to prepare. Then, one by one, the groups are introduced and the others guess the instruments.
"I AM"
Give each of them 10 nuts, a topic of conversation and tell them to communicate in pairs, talking and asking questions about the topic. When one of the couple utters the word "I", his interlocutor picks up one nut. The one with the most nuts in 5 minutes is the winner.
Masterpiece
You will need pencils, crayons, sticky tape, and a large sheet of paper. Give each team (no more than five people) a set of pencils. At different ends of the room, attach a piece of paper to tables or on the wall so that rivals cannot see. Each player receives only one part of the assignment (picture descriptions). Everyone chooses a place for themselves on a piece of paper, and everyone begins to draw at the same time. For instance:
1. A man in blue pants….
2. ... crying a lot ...
3. ... a striped toy in hand ...
4. ... crying a lot ...
5. ... on the street under a maple tree ...
1. A baby in a stroller ...
2. ... holding a bottle of juice ...
3. ... drinks Coca-Cola ...
4. ... reading a book ...
5. ... in the stormy sea ...
Dogs and roosters
Players sit in a circle. The driver gives everyone the name of the city. Then he says: "I heard that in the city ... the dogs crow, and the roosters bark." The player, whose city was named, replies: “No, sir, in the city ... dogs do not crow and roosters do not bark. The city in which dogs crow and roosters bark is called ... ”. The player whose city was named responds in the same way. If someone does not answer right away or is confused, he gives a bail. When a lot of pledges are collected, they are redeemed, completing some task of the leader.
Electricity
Two teams stand opposite each other in ranks. Each team joins hands, forming a chain behind their backs, so that the other team cannot see the interlocked hands. At the end of the chain there is a chair, on it lies a small thing, and at the beginning of the chain there is a leader who tosses a coin. Team captains, i.e. those who are the first in the chain carefully look after the coin (the rest look only in the direction of the chair, i.e. they do not see their captain). In the event of a tails, the captains transmit the current, i.e. quickly squeeze the hand of the one standing next to him, he shakes the hand of the other, and so on - until the end of the "electrical circuit". The last in the chain, having received a "discharge", quickly grabs the thing lying on the chair.
In the team that did not have time to grab the thing from the chair, a rearrangement takes place. The one who should have been grabbed becomes the captain, and the former captain becomes the second in the chain. The captain can make a mistake by prematurely squeezing the hand of the one standing next to him. This happens when the captain is in a hurry to give "current". In this case, the team also loses.
Elephant bathing
Four people are involved. Three are led out the door. The rest is playing a pantomime that now he will wash the elephant. One person starts up, he must watch carefully all the movements of the "washer" and then repeat them to the second, and that third player. At the end, all four take turns telling their version of what they were doing.
Broken TV
Everyone knows about a damaged phone. What if the TV goes bad? 3-4 groups take turns showing each other scenes. What will come out of the original idea?
