Musical dancing games in kindergarten. Dance games for children's camp, playground, entertainment for children

Children love to make things up. 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 lesson leader is only to direct the child’s imagination and impulse, and not to impose your own on him. Your experience will be dead for children. Therefore, encourage their imagination and allocate “independent time” to implement their ideas. It will be much better if you suggest dance techniques and movements to children on “their territory”, when creating dances that are interesting to them. Let these dances seem bad to you at first, not interesting, full of ostentatious “coolness”. Give children the opportunity to get over this. (They usually bring something like “Hands Up” or “Red Mold” for their first dances). Don't discourage them. Be patient. Over time, if they are constantly shown how they can do BETTER, children will want to try something else.

1. Completing the figures

Children are divided into two teams. Each team is invited to build its own composition-figure as follows: one person comes out of the line and takes some pose that is beautiful in his opinion. (Invite him to close his eyes and take the body position that his momentary mood, music and inspiration dictates). The next person in line approaches him and tries to “complete” the composition by taking some kind of 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 an overall composition that fills the space.

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

Teams can play simultaneously or take turns, watching each other’s successes from the perspective 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 team up in groups of several.

You can come up with cards yourself, but here are a few examples: 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 integration of images into the overall picture of the dance. That is, one group of people, say, trees, begins to dance. Then animals and flowers join them... And so on until the last participant.

3. Dance of nature

All children are divided into pairs and triplets (larger groups if desired), and then each group prepares their own dance to the same music. general theme. (for example - sunrise dance, sea surf, clouds, stars, fire, fountain).

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

4. Brook

The children hold hands, and then everyone except the first in the line closes their eyes. The task of each person in the line is to repeat and pass on to the next person the movements of the first. If the first one raises his hand, then the second one should also raise his hand, transferring the movement to the third one. So - until the very last person in line. The result should be a real trickle of movements.

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

5. "Bird in a Cage"

All children join hands and form a circle - a “cage”. Someone alone remains in the center. He becomes a Bird in a Cage. He needs to dance his dance so that the cage will release him. A circle of children can play along with the Bird, raising and lowering their hands, sometimes opening a way out. 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, curved, light or heavy. You can invite children to rub their palm against their palm for a minute, and then slowly move them apart - a feeling of connection between the palms arises. This relationship needs to be extended to the size and shape of the ball.

When this stage is passed, you can try to shape, feel in your hands and transfer other objects - a jug, tray, fabric, flowers... They can be transferred along with some 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 person asking. He must renounce himself so much and feel like a reflection that from the outside it is impossible to distinguish who sets the movements and who repeats them. Then the children change roles.

8. Who am I?

The host of the game preliminarily prepares a number of cards for everyone with simple concepts. (For example: fairy tale, sea, wolf, Baba Yaga, book, star, fox, swan, gnome, etc.)

Children sit in a circle. The presenter gives one of them a card so that others cannot spy. The child goes into a circle. His task is to dance the image given to him. Explain to the children that for this you need to very, very much transform into your image and dance it as if “from the inside.” It is useless to show with your hands the horns of a deer or the mouth of a crocodile; you need to convey with your plasticity and posture, facial expressions and movements - what the deer and 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 one in the circle.

9. Unravel the string

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

Children stand 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 in their arms, 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 as fast as a sea wave" or "Like a tropical cactus." The children’s task is to unravel their rope while dancing and avoiding “inharmonious” movements that fall out of the given rhythm.

10. Dance situation

The game leader prepares cards with situations that will need to be acted out in the dance. Children are divided into teams of two to five people and receive their card. After which the music is played and the teams are given time to prepare. The children’s task is to assign roles, prepare and show a dance-situation in front of everyone, like a small scene.

Spectators watch who got what, and then try to guess and retell what exactly they think played out.

Example cards: Priestess makes a fire in the Temple, Girl collects flowers in the forest, Traveler climbs a mountain, Fire, etc.

11. Dance of Fire

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

The whole circle becomes just travelers who are relaxing around the Bonfire (savages or pirates), and only one of the dancers remains in the center and dances the Bonfire. He has the right to move in all directions like tongues of flame. Travelers try to prevent the Bonfire from burning them. (At the same time, the movements of those sitting around the Fire must remain synchronous.)

12. Dance without music

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

The task of the one who remains 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: children choose one person and then come up with a Dream for him (fairy-tale circumstances in which he finds himself. In this Dream, each dancer can play his own role, or everyone can dance together.) The task of the player is - with his dance, without preparation, to react to the circumstances in which he found himself. He can interact with the characters of the Dream or even direct them, the main thing is that the atmosphere of the Dream is “picked up” and conveyed correctly.

13. The Tale of Rodnichka

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

Example of a fairy tale:

“One day early in the morning the SUN came out and illuminated the DESERT. In this desert there were many, many FLOWERS, CACTi AND PALMS. There lived a BUTTERFLY. She was very hot and thirsty all the time. Then the butterfly went in search of water. while a cloud was flying across the sky. And the butterfly asked her to make it rain. The cloud agreed and many, many droplets flew to the ground...

But suddenly the WIND blew! He blew away the rain further and the butterfly could not drink. 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 BRUBS! And among them flowed a clear and young stream.

The butterfly got drunk and everything ended well!

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

Don't be afraid to come up with such tales yourself!

14. Dance skit

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

Cards: Man and Dragon, Cockroaches, Joyful Elephant and Butterfly, Bird and Cat, Two Hares Playing, Octopus and Fish, Penguin and Seagull, Spider and predatory flower, Stump and young bore, Puppy and experienced dog, Swans, Fallow deer and pig, Rooster and hen, Fly and cow, Horse and sheep,

15. Dance adjustment

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

16. Magic country

From among the players, 2-3 people are selected and hidden behind the door - they should not see the beginning of the dance. The rest choose 2-3 more, who begin to dance an impromptu dance to some music. At one point he is commanded to “freeze.” The children freeze in the positions in which the team found them. The music changes (if it was fast, you can play it slow and vice versa). Those who were waiting outside the door are invited. They must take the places of those dancing, stand in their poses and finish dancing to new music the way they see and feel it.

17. Fairy-tale heroes

This game can be played even with the youngest children. They are divided into pairs, after which each child draws lots for himself a card with the name of some famous fairy-tale character. The couple’s task is to prepare and then dance in front of everyone the dance of meeting these heroes, even if they are from different fairy tales.

Example cards: Little Red Riding Hood, Gray wolf, hunter, Cinderella, Fox, Snow White, Dwarf, Koschei the Immortal, Mouse, Frog Princess, Thumbelina, Old Man Hottabych, Kolobok, Dunno, Chamomile, Elena the Beautiful, Cipollino, Fly Tskotukha, Old Man Spider, Mowgli, Panther Bagheera, Alice, Pinocchio , Malvina, Pierrot, poodle Artemon, Karabas-Barabas, Firebird, Little Humpbacked Horse, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet.

For older children, the proposed characters should be more interesting and less known.

Sample cards: Kukoryambochka, Wizard of the Forest, Spirit of the Well, Brambrulyak, Countess Manya, mysterious deities of Africa, Asia, India, etc.

18. Dancing tassel

Children are given paints, paper and brushes, and music is played. Then the adult invites everyone to draw a picture as if the brush is dancing its own dance on the paper with the colors dictated by the music. When the drawings are ready, the children are invited to look at them all together, and then take turns to go out and dance the dance that they drew.

19. Dance of the Ocean

All children are divided into three teams. The best thing is 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 played and all three teams are given the same task - to feel like one with the team and come up with an Ocean Dance.

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

All children dance around the chairs, when the music stops, you must take any free chair; those who do not have time are eliminated from the game.

Dancing hat

Children dance in a circle, the hat is passed around the circle, the one who received the hat puts it on his head, makes one turn around himself and passes it to the next one. The music stops and the one who has the hat comes to the center and shows dance moves, all the other children repeat after him.

Musical freeze

When the music plays, everyone dances, whoever wants, as soon as the music stops, everyone freezes in the poses of some characters (from fairy tales, from cartoons, etc.). The presenter guesses the first one, then together they guess the second one, and so on until they guess all the characters.

Musical Freeze 2

Everyone is dancing to the music, the presenter says - and now it’s freezing here right hand, and everyone hides their right hand behind their back and dances with the rest of their body, then the left hand freezes - we dance with our legs and head, then we freeze our legs, dance with our nose, etc.

Musical goodies

While the music is playing, the children, holding hands, walk around the buns (circles from a children's pyramid), of which there is one less than the number of children. Children must grab only one bun as soon as the music stops. The one who does not have time to take the bun leaves the game and becomes the presenter’s assistant. The one who manages to grab the last bun wins.

"Grandfather Mazai and the Hares"

We dance like bunnies, foxes, mice, cats, etc.

Dance competition for pairing

The boys come out, stand in a circle, two girls stand in the center of the circle with their backs to their backs, blindfolded, the music is turned on for 10 seconds, at this time the boys walk in a circle, after the music turns off, the girls must choose a mate without looking.

Dancing with balloons

To conduct this competition you will need balloons - one for each pair of participants, and of course music.
Pairs are formed from among the participants, and not necessarily of different sexes - there will still be no close contact between the dancers.
Each couple is given balloon, which is placed between the players. As soon as the music starts, couples begin to dance, holding the ball with their stomachs. Those who could not hold the ball are eliminated from the competition. Also eliminated are those who held the ball too tightly and it burst. The couple who touches the ball with their hands is also disqualified.
The last couple remaining wins.

Ice dancing

The competition participants are divided into pairs. Each pair is given a sheet of Whatman paper A2. The couple must place themselves on the sheet, and in addition, dancing a certain dance on it depends on the music and the whim of the leader.
Then, at the command of the leader, the dance composition changes to a faster one, and the pieces of ice on which the participants are dancing melt - the Whatman paper is folded in half. It gets tighter, and you have to dance faster. Those who step on the ice floe drown, that is, they drop out of the competition.
Then the ice melts again, that is, the paper folds in half again, and the music changes to even faster music. It becomes almost impossible to dance. Only the most slender and agile remain.
The last couple standing wins.

Dances of the peoples of the world

A wonderful dance competition that will help warm up any company, even the most dull one. Several pairs are required for the competition. The more people there are, the more fun and interesting it will be.

The couples stand in the center. The host explains the rules. When the music starts, the participants must start dancing the dance that matches the music. A sound recording of various dances and songs is prepared in advance: Lezginka, Lambada, Gypsy, Seven Forty, East Dance, There was a birch tree in the field (Rucheek dance), Tango, Waltz, Chardash, Kalinka, etc.

Whichever pair gets their bearings faster will win.

Some dances are inserted specifically to show the collective cohesion of the participants.
After such a competition, any company will be friendly and open to further fun.

(Primitive dance, “robot dance” to techno music)

Limbo

This competition is perfect for adult company, who celebrates her birthday.

The presenter chooses two and gives them a jump rope or rope.
Children first pull it at a height of 1.5 m from the ground. The musicians play catchy melodies, and the guys take turns walking under the rope without touching it. It’s not easy to get through, but dancing to a fiery tune. With each stage the rope is lowered lower and lower.

Outdoor games and play dances for children preschool age

Card index of outdoor games and play dances

for preschool children

Developed by Efimenko T.V., music. Head of the Children's Educational Institution "Kindergarten No. 257"

All dances in this category are designed to develop a sense of rhythm and basic coordination of arm and leg movements in a playful manner. The movements are simple to perform by children of primary preschool age. In addition, as practice shows, these mini-dances are also very interesting for children of older preschool age.

Playful dances can be used by teachers as active moments, as well as during exercises.

Melodies for musical accompaniment should have a pronounced rhythm and an average tempo. Along with the music, we count: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (“eight”).

The card file comes with a disk with tunes for each game.

“Helping Mom” Disc 1, track No. 1.

To the music, we perform movements that imitate washing actions. Each movement is repeated for one figure eight. The position of the legs is in sixth position and does not change during the dance. All work is done with hands and body. Each new movement begins on the right side. We make sure we have correct posture.

You can start by saying: “Well, guys, let's help mom! Let’s wash our pants ourselves!” In subsequent classes, the children themselves will suggest which item of clothing should be “washed.”

On initial stage We pronounce every movement ( “We erase!”, “Wring out!” etc.).

1 movement– “washboard”: arms from top to bottom from the armpit to an extended position. The fingers are clenched into fists. The body makes a slight turn to the right and left every two counts towards the corresponding leg. Perform two downward movements on each leg.

2 movements– “squeezing”: The work of the body is the same, but now there are two movements, simulating squeezing the laundry. Hands level chest.

3 movements– “shake”: The work of the body is the same. The arms are half-bent and raised up, then we perform a sharp downward movement with the arms, as if shaking a sheet. Two movements in each direction.

4 movements

As children master these simple movements, you can add a spring to one leg: alternately bend one knee in time with the movements of the arms.

“We’re building a house!” Disc 1, track No. 2.

To the music we perform movements that imitate actions with instruments. Each movement is repeated for one figure eight. The position of the legs is shoulder-width apart and does not change during the dance. All work is done with hands and body. Each new movement begins on the right side. We make sure we have correct posture.

1 movement– “sawing”: “holding the saw” with both hands. The body makes a slight turn to the right and left every two counts. Hands near the waist. We perform two movements “from ourselves” in each direction, starting to the right. We count by eights. 1-2 right, 3-4 left, 5-6 right, 7-8 left.

2 movements– “hammer”: we knock with a fist on a fist.

3 movements– “washing the windows”: alternately with the right and left hands we perform two circular motion. The second hand is on the belt.

4 movements– “we are tired”: The work of the body is the same. We alternately run our right and left hands across the forehead, as if wiping away sweat. Each movement counts on two counts.

“Crocodile Gena” Disc 1, track No. 3.

Starting position – legs together. In this dance, it is very important that the legs are pressed tightly against each other. The arms are bent at the elbows: the elbows are pressed to each other and to the waist in front. The palms are clenched into fists and pressed against each other. This is an accordion.

1 movement– “playing the harmonica”: count -1 - move the right fist and the right toe to the side. At the same time, the elbows and heels remain in place. -2- in ref. position. -3-4- repeat the movements. -5-6-7-8- the same in the other direction. -1- spread the fists and toes of the feet in different directions, leaving the heels and elbows in place. -2- in ref. position. -3-4- repeat the movements. -5- spread your elbows and heels in different directions, leaving your fists and toes in place. -6- in ref. position. -7-8- repeat the movements.

Outdoor game “Animals” Disc 1, track No. 4.

This is a game for children junior groups. In it, children are invited to depict the movements and habits of animals. But first they must solve a riddle. As a musical accompaniment, I collected several melodies and songs with descriptions of animals.

1. Frog

-Where will you find her?

Well, of course, in the swamp!

Green like grass

He says: “KVA, KVA, KVA!”

To the music, children squat down and jump in this position. In this case, the knees are spread apart, and the hands in front touch the floor.

2. Heron

- Stands on one leg

He looks intently into the water.

Pokes his beak at random -

Looking for frogs in the river.

Starting position - standing on straight legs, straight arms spread in different directions (for balance). To the music we walk like a heron: we raise our leg bent at the knee as high as possible and take a step forward. The same with the other leg.

3. Bunny

-Who is shaking behind a bush,

Does the little one's tail tremble?

Find out the coward -

It's probably grey.

We depict what the song is about.

1 movement- hands near the chest, jump on the spot;

2 movements- move the “tail”;

3 movements- “raise your ears” - put your palms to your head.

This is also a game for kids.

Mystery:

No, not a bird, but it flies.

She flies high.

He will sit on a flower,

And it attracts everyone with coloring.

All such a sweetheart,

Small. (Butterfly)

To the music, the girls, waving their arms, move on half-toes around the hall, depicting the flight of a butterfly. The moment the music turns off, they squat down, as if on a flower, and lower their “wings.” Everything is repeated three or four times.

“Dai-Dai” Disc 1, track No. 7.

Starting position – legs together, hands on the belt. Every time before starting the dance, we perform a “spring” - bending and straightening our legs, as if springing. Counting by eights. A spring for each count (-1-down, -and- stand up, -2- down, -and- stand up). The melody is in the rhythm of Samba dance. Listening to this music, children themselves involuntarily begin to spring to the beat. But the pace is not fast! We explain to the children that for every movement there are two springs. We perform the spring throughout the dance without breaks.

If this seems very difficult, then you can dance without a spring, only with your hands.

1 movement– Counts -1-2- from the starting position, the right hand is moved to the side and straightened. Palm up. Counts -3-4- the left hand does the same in its direction.

“Children’s play often has deep meaning.” (Johann Friedrich Schiller )

Everyone knows that for children to develop a sense of rhythm, tact, musical ear and memory, it is necessary to early years closely introduce them to musical games.The music accompanying the games should have an incendiary, cheerful rhythm, thanks to which children quickly lift their spirits and increase their physical activity. Musical accompaniment of various outdoor games brings only positive results, as it forms 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, and contributes to the acquisition of knowledge. It always has a specific goal. In music gamesfor this purpose is the development of intelligence, sense of rhythm and tact, memory, ear for music, voice, creative activity child. Musical dance games promote quick memorization the material studied, the intensity of training, the emancipation of children, getting rid of complexes. Music introduces a child to beauty, to a sense of harmony; in a word, it enriches his spiritual world.

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

Children love to make things up. 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 leader of the lesson is only to direct the child’s imagination and impulse, and not to impose his own. Therefore, encourage their imagination and allocate “independent time” to implement their ideas.

I providegame file, which I use when working with children.

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

"Chain"

Target : explore the possibility of making contact and interacting in a group.

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

At the same time, the presenter changes the proposed circumstances: “we move along a narrow path on our toes,” “we walk through a swamp - we step carefully,” “we step over puddles,” etc.

"Freeze".

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

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

Option 1: in different poses, representing a sculpture.

Option 2: with a smile on your face.

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

"We are looking for each other."

Target: explore mutual acceptance of each other and contact, develop a sense of quick response.

Participants dance around the site chaotically, greeting all passing group members with a nod of their heads. The music stops - everyone must find a partner and shake hands (repeated 5-7 times).

"Everybody dance".

Target : warm up the body, awaken emotions, relieve muscle tension, create the mood for work.

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

The game is usually carried out 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, involvement, belonging, and encourage entry into interpersonal relationships.

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

"Curtseys."

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

The game recreates the atmosphere of the ball.

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

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

“Allow me to invite you.”

Target: opportunity to experiment with movement. Everyone stands in a circle. The presenter invites any of the participants and dances with him in pairs, showing movements that the partner “mirrors”. At the “musical break” signal, the couple separates and invites new participants. Now there are two couples on the site, and so on until everyone is involved in the dance process. Moreover, each invitee “mirrors” the movements of the one who invited him.

"Solo with guitar."

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

Everyone stands in a circle and moves to the rhythm of the music. The leader with a guitar in his hands goes to the center of the circle and performs a solo, expressing his feelings in the dance, then passes the guitar to any participant. Next, each participant does the same, and he can, if he wishes, interact with anyone from the group. Each solo dance is rewarded with applause at the end.

"Circle Dance"

Target: strengthen children's communication in a team, training dance and musical memory.

Children stand in pairs in a circle facing each other. The presenter shows in advance the movements that will need to be performed to the music, they must be rehearsed without music: side steps left and right for four counts with a blow on the last beat, then four steps back with a clap, then four steps forward and we return to the wrong pair, and, moving to the left - to a new partner (partner). Let's turn on the music and dance!

« Dance of Nature"

Target: coordination of movements, sense of dance space.

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

It is good that you take the time to watch not only the “process” of each group of children dancing, but also arrange a general “review” of what happened. Have all the children sit in one part of the room, like in an auditorium, and then each team takes turns showing their dance.

"Dance-situation"

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

Spectators look at who got what, and then try to guess and retell what exactly they thought was played out. Example cards: The Priestess makes a fire in the Temple, The Girl collectsin the forest, Traveler climbing a mountain, Fire, etc.

"Fire Dance"

Target:development of imagination, creative ingenuity.

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

The whole circle becomes simply travelers who relax around the Bonfire (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 tongues of flame. Travelers try to prevent the Bonfire from burning them. (At the same time, the movements of those sitting around the Fire must remain synchronous.)

Dance without music

Target: encouragement to emancipate, identify emotions, develop dance skills.

Everyone stands in a circle, one person goes to the center. Children must invent and create for dance atmosphere. For example – rain, fire or gust of wind. (The circle can clap, click, stomp, blow, hum, howl, spin, jump, etc. in a certain rhythm.)

The task of the one who remains 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: children choose one person and then come up with a Dream for him (fairy-tale circumstances in which he finds himself. In this Dream, everyone dancing can play your role, or you can all dance together.) Task playing – with his dance, without preparation, to react to the circumstances in which he found himself. He can interact with the characters of the Dream or even direct them, the main thing is that the atmosphere of the Dream is “picked up” and conveyed correctly.

"Dance of the Ocean"

Target : development of creative activity, plasticity.

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

Introducing children to the world of dance should be pleasant and exciting, but what could be more interesting than the game for a child? Only a game of dance!Dance games suitable for any holiday, and many adults will not refuse such fun. Some dance games can be played for no reason, for example, at the end of a “stressful” workout, you can play with children to relax, thus encouraging them for their diligence.There are no children in the world who do not love fun games and entertainment. And if they are also carried out against a musical background, this contributes to the diversified development of the little 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. Play, and especially in combination with dance, is an ideal way to plunge into happy carelessness.
