Dear teachers, summer time is approaching. Our children will spend more time outdoors. Therefore, I recommend that you take up round dance games that will brighten up your leisure time and bring a lot of impressions to children

Round dance games are a whole complex game exercises, including music, singing, free movements, poetry recitation, pantomime.

Round dance games in kindergarten simply necessary. Despite the apparent simplicity and the main game point, the importance of round dances is difficult to overestimate. They:

  • Develop a sense of rhythm and ear for music.
  • Helps improve motor skills (from slow walking to running).
  • They facilitate the adaptation process: they bring children closer to each other, liberate them.
  • They teach children to act together and cooperate.
  • Children are introduced to ancient traditions and customs.

Round dance games in kindergarten can be divided by theme. In fact, you can choose a game or invent one for any topic. It is enough to choose the right music, come up with the meaning of the game, and the words themselves will fall into the music or the children will suggest them.

A little history

For centuries, round dances have been part of calendar rituals. They were also an important means of teaching the younger generation the arts of dance and poetry. The content of the first round dance games was revealed in the plot of the song, which was sung by the participants moving in a circle. Such songs could tell about the love of a boy and a girl, peasant work, an evil stepmother, a hunter who wounded or killed an animal, a hare, a sparrow, or a deer who lost her cubs. The movements, as a rule, were simple and completely subordinated to the rhythm of the song performed by the participants in the round dance. The main performers were in the center of the circle. They conducted a dialogue with the participants moving in a circle. Sometimes the content of a song was revealed through pantomime.

In most cases, round dance games were performed by girls. Although boys often became participants in round dances at the age of 14-15. At that age, they already considered themselves young men and began to be more interested in girls. It is not for nothing that the Eastern Slavs called youth games accompanied by a special general dance a round dance. Historians claim that the round dance is the most ancient Russian dance. IN modern world round dance games have lost their former meaning and turned into one of the ways to develop children. Although the folk texts that accompanied these games have still been preserved.

What are round dance games for?

First of all, round dance games help develop children's expressiveness of movements, sense of rhythm, imagination and fantasy. The melodic and rhythmic beginning makes it possible to perform movements at the desired tempo and rhythm. At the same time, such games help improve motor skills: jumping, spring and fractional steps, stomping steps, alternating steps, gallops and rapid running.

Round dances are always accompanied by music. This in turn helps the natural and harmonious development musical abilities. In addition, experts note that round dancing games contribute to the formation of friendly relationships between children. This type of game satisfies many important needs of children. In particular, the need for communication, physical contact and expression of emotions. Children also learn coordinated and harmonious joint actions.

Experienced educators note that round dance games are an excellent assistant in organizing children. As soon as such a game begins, the children quickly come running, forgetting about all the insults and quarrels. Round dance games give children the opportunity to express their best qualities: nobility, kindness, self-sacrifice and mutual assistance. Using folklore in games, you can easily introduce children to ancient customs and traditions.

How to conduct round dance games?

The texts for round dance games do not need to be specially memorized. Because they are quite easily and quickly remembered during the game itself. During round dance games, it is important to remember the expressive, chanting and rhythmic pronunciation of the text. Music will help you find the necessary motor image. It will also give expressiveness and plasticity to movements. Participants in a round dance hold hands, and sometimes a belt, scarf or wreath. In some cases, players move one after another, maintaining strict intervals.

To better understand all the features of round dance games, let's look at an example.

The game “Stork Hat” will serve them:

  • Before the game starts, you need to choose a stork and a child with a stork hat.
  • Then the children stand in a circle, holding hands. The stork stands in the center of the circle. His hands should be folded behind his back. The child with the hat remains behind the circle.
  • Then the children begin to walk in a circle. The stork also walks inside the circle, but in the opposite side. It is important that he raises his feet high, looks for his hat and sings: “I was walking over the river, here I lost my hat, a warm hat, a brand new hat, a red hat.
  • A child, located behind the circle and holding a hat in his hands, walks and sings: “I came to the river, here I found a hat, a warm hat, a brand new hat, a red hat.
  • When the song ends, everyone stops. The child with the hat says: “Try, catch up, take away your hat!” As soon as he says these words, the children raise their joined hands, forming a passage through which the child and the stork run. When the stork catches up with the child, it puts on a hat and dances with the caught participant inside the circle.
  • After this, the stork remains in the circle and another child with a hat is chosen. If the stork failed to catch the child, then the driver becomes a stork. Then the game repeats.

There are many more examples of round dance games that will be useful for both parents of preschool children and kindergarten teachers.

“I walk around the house”

Children stand in a circle, the leader walks in a circle and says the words:

- I walk around the tree and look out the window,

I’ll go up to one and knock softly.

A child comes up from behind and gently knocks on the back. A dialogue takes place between them:

- Who's there?

- It’s me... (name)

_Anything?

-Let's run!

Children stand with their backs to each other and, at a signal, run in different directions in a circle. Whoever comes running first takes a place. The second one becomes the leader.

"Circle"

Masha sits down in the middle of the meadow. They dance around him, chanting:

“Sit, sit, Masha, in the broom bush

Gnaw, gnaw, Masha, ripe nuts.

Catch, catch, Masha, whoever you want!”

Masha rushes after someone. The caught person stands in a circle and the game continues.

"Oats"

Everyone stands in a circle and sings:

“Who wants to know how oats are sown

My father sowed like this...

They show hand movements like this...

Then I rested like this...

They stand with their hands folded - crosswise. Then they spin around in a round dance, chanting:

- Oats, oats, God grant that you grow!

- Who wants to know how oats are reaped?

- My father reaped him So (shows)

After the chorus, they depict how oats are knitted and how they are threshed (during threshing, each one beats his neighbor).

"Grushka"

The players form a circle, in the middle of which the child stands - this will be a pear. Everyone walks around the pear in a circle:

We will plant a pear tree - here, here!

Let our pear grow, grow!

Grow up, little pear, so tall;

Grow up, little pear, to be this wide;

Grow up, little pear, grow up in good time!

Dance, Mariyka, twirl for us!

And we will continue to pinch this pear.

We will run away from our Mariyka!

The pear in the middle of the circle should represent everything that is sung about in the song (dance, spin). In response to the words “This is this high,” children raise their arms up, and in response to the words “This is this wide,” they spread them apart.

When they sing: “And we will all pinch this pear,” everyone approaches the pear to touch it, and quickly runs away, and the pear catches the children. All game actions must be consistent with words.

"The Gardener and the Sparrow"

The Gardener and Sparrow are chosen. The remaining participants in the game, holding hands, form a circle. Nuts (apples, plums, etc.) are placed in the middle of the circle - this is a “garden”. To the side, about ten steps away, they draw a circle - a “nest”. The round dance moves slowly in a circle, everyone sings:

Small sparrow.
Gray, remote,
Snooping around the yard
Collects crumbs;
Spends the night in the garden
He steals berries.

The sparrow runs into a circle (the guys, raising and lowering their hands, let him in and out), takes one nut and tries to take it to the “nest”. The gardener guards the circle and, as soon as Sparrow runs out of the circle, he begins to catch him. If Sparrow manages to put the nut in the “nest”, he plays again. The caught Sparrow changes role with one of the participants. But before that, he must pay off Ogorodnik and fulfill the wishes of the round dance, for example, sing, dance, etc. At the same time, they sing to him

It's been a long time since the little sparrow can fly,
Don't peck berries in the garden,
Don't sit on an oak stamen.
And you, little sparrow, sit on the meadow,
And you, little gray one, sit in a circle.
Isn't it time for you to get up and fly,
Let's dance in our round dance!

At the end of the game, they count which sparrow brought the most nuts to the “nest”. He is declared the winner and all the nuts are given as a reward.
