Finger gymnastics in verse and finger games not only affect the development of speech, but their beauty is also that they instantly switch the baby’s attention from whims or nervousness to bodily sensations - and calm them down. This is a great activity when there are more children (for example, on the road or in line).
The influence of manual (manual) actions on the development of the human brain was known back in the 2nd century BC in China.
Experts argued that games involving hands and fingers, such as our “White-sided Magpie,” help to find harmony in the body-mind tandem and keep the brain systems in excellent condition. Based on similar reasoning, the Japanese doctor Namikoshi Tokujiro created a healing technique for influencing the hands. He argued that fingers are endowed with a large number of receptors that send impulses to the human central nervous system. There are many acupuncture points on the hands, which can be massaged to influence internal organs, reflexively associated with them. In terms of saturation of acupuncture zones, the hand is not inferior to the ear and foot. For example, massaging the thumb increases the functional activity of the brain; the index finger has a positive effect on the stomach, the middle finger has a positive effect on the intestines, the ring finger has a positive effect on the liver and kidneys, and the little finger has a positive effect on the heart. And if you also diversify finger gymnastics with FINGER THEATER, then this will give you a lot of positive emotions!
Simple rules of the game
1. Try to involve all fingers in the games (especially the ring and little fingers - they are the laziest).
2. Be sure to alternate three types of movements:
compression;
stretching;
relaxation.
How else to activate your fingers
1. Give a newspaper, sheets of paper - let him vomit (just be careful not to put these “bites” in his mouth).
2. Thread large buttons onto a strong thread and let them sort through them.
3. Give wooden beads, abacus, pyramids.
4. Draw faces on the plastic plugs and place them on your fingers. You will get a finger theater.
This is only a small fraction of the games and activities that can captivate a child and...

We hope these few exercises finger gymnastics for children in verse will help your child start chatting incessantly at one year 😉
P.S. If you liked our selection of finger games, also pay attention to the selection and.
The main motor achievement of a baby at this age is walking. The child began to walk independently. Freed hands allow you to experiment with surrounding objects, the skill of preferential use of the right or left hand is formed, and coordination of movements is improved. It is motor activity that contributes to the development of the baby’s cognitive abilities.
The influence of fine motor skills on child development
Numerous scientific studies have confirmed the connection intellectual development and finger motor skills. It has been established that the level of development of children's speech is directly dependent on the degree of formation of fine movements of the fingers. Therefore, in order to teach a child to speak, it is necessary not only to train his articulatory (speech) apparatus, but also to develop finger movements. Systematic finger training exercises are also a means of stimulating the activity of the cerebral cortex, which promotes the development of thinking and attention.
One of the important features of finger games is their accessibility. To play with your baby, no special devices or toys are required. All play material is the child’s hands and fingers. It is only important for mom to know a few special exercises and learn the lyrics to them. These games can be played at any time and anywhere: on a walk, in line at the clinic - wherever you need to keep your child occupied, distracted or interested.
Finger games for the child are selected taking into account his capabilities and gradually become more complex. These games provide good workout fingers, contribute to the development of the ability to listen and understand the content of poetry, teach to catch the rhythm of speech. When a baby recites poetry and simultaneously moves his fingers, his speech obeys the rhythm, is accompanied by movements, and becomes louder, clearer, and more emotional.
Folk nursery rhyme games provide good training. Mom first reads the nursery rhyme rhythmically, highlighting the semantic parts intonationally, accompanying the reading with playful movements. Then the baby is asked to repeat the movements, and at an older age - the words of the nursery rhyme.
When it is difficult for a child to perform one or another exercise, an adult should help by taking his hand in his own, helping him move his fingers, bend them and straighten them. This is how the necessary movements are taught, fine motor skills of the fingers are trained and, accordingly, speech development is stimulated.
Finger games for children up to one year old
Exploring our capabilities
Finger training can begin as early as two months of age. During this period, an important place is given to massage. Stroke your baby's hands in the direction from the fingertips to the wrist, take each finger individually, bend and straighten it.
Game “To Each His Own Name”
If you have never played finger games with your baby before, start with the basics - just look at the fingers, name each finger, stroke it gently. You can simply list the names of the fingers (thumb, index, middle, etc.), or you can give each finger its own name.
When calling “name”, bend and straighten each finger in turn:
Finger Antoshka - A little mischievous. (Bend and unbend thumb.)
Vlad's finger - Loves outfits. (Bend and unbend the index finger, etc.)
Finger Kolya Studying at school.
Timosh's finger - He's a good boy.
Thumb Irishka - Just a baby.
You can come up with your own names and poetic lines for them or pronounce the baby’s name in different ways: first the full name, then a diminutive, special, as one of the family members affectionately calls the baby, etc. Thus, the baby gets used to the sound of his own name and learns to distinguish it from the speech of adults.
Game "Pencil - Helper"
Take a ribbed pencil and roll it over your baby's palms and fingers. Another option for the exercise is to place a pencil between the baby’s palms and, pressing the palms tightly, make rubbing movements with them. The convex edges of the pencil massage the surface of the palms well, causing skin receptors to work.
You can massage your palms and fingers using a small ball (for example, a ping pong ball) or any other round object. The massage effect will be more noticeable if you use a special hedgehog ball with rubber “spines”. Roll it in your baby's palms, pressing them against the ball.
Master the famous folk finger games with your little one - “Magpie-Crow”, “Ladushki”, “Goat-Dereza”.
By 9-10 months of life it is recommended to train circular movements thumbs baby. The period when the thumb is opposed to the rest is of particular importance. From this moment on, the child becomes able to make fine movements of the fingers, and the baby masters tweezer grip (the ability to grasp objects with the thumb and forefinger).
Game "Tom Thumb"
Ask your child to open his palm and, helping him make movements, begin to recite the nursery rhyme:
Little Thumb, where have you been? (Make circular movements with your thumb.)
I went into the forest with this brother, (Bend the little finger one by one, first)
I cooked cabbage soup with this brother, (then ring finger etc.)
I sang songs with this brother,
I ate porridge with this brother,
That's why I got fat. ( Circular movements thumb.)
Game "Crane"
To play, you will need a plastic bucket and 6-7 small toys or objects (Kinder Surprise toys, large beads, walnuts, construction kit parts).
The baby's hand represents a crane: the thumb and forefinger of the right hand pick up the object and direct it straight into the bucket. First, slowly show your baby the sequence of actions, commenting on your movements along the way. Then ask the baby to repeat first with his right hand, then with his left.
Show your child gestures that replace words: “Goodbye, bye-bye!” - the baby unclenches his fingers and waves his palm, “Give it to me!” - the baby clenches and unclenches his fist several times, “You can’t do this!” - the child straightens the index finger, and presses the rest to the palm and shakes the handle. Teach your baby to clap his hands when he likes something. The baby quickly remembers these movements, and over time will learn to repeat them.
Finger games for children from 1 to 2 years old
We play and talk
At this time, the child’s independence in many actions increases. The baby also shows independence in performing exercises with his fingers. At this age, he can repeat some simple movements without the help of an adult, focusing on demonstrations and copying actions. Independence also manifests itself in speech. The child tries in his own way to pronounce sounds, words or phrases loudly and clearly when performing any part of the exercise.
Finger game "Spider"
The spider crawls, crawls, (The fingers clench and unclench, “walking” along the surface - on the table, arm, leg.)
He weaves a web.
The web is even thin,
Holds the moth tightly. (Rounded palms are folded one on top of the other.)
The moth sat and sat
Suddenly he took off and flew away! (We wave our arms in the air.)
Ask the baby to pronounce the ending words: “crawls,” “sat,” “flew away.”
Finger game "Family"
Ask your baby to straighten his palm. We begin to bend the little finger, ring finger and then towards the thumb:
This finger is grandpa
This finger is grandma
This finger is daddy
This finger is mommy
This finger is me.
All my family.
After saying the nursery rhyme several times, encourage your baby to repeat after you or complete the sentence he started. For example, you say: “This finger,” and the baby adds “grandmother,” etc. Repeat the exercise with the other hand.
Finger game "Piano"
Imitate playing the piano by tapping each finger in turn, then the entire palm with fingers spread out on the table surface:
We bought a piano
Tra-la-la, tra-la-la.
We play with grandma
And the whole family dances.
Tra-la-la, tra-la-la.
Game "Fingers say hello"
Sit with your baby at the table opposite each other, “say hello” with your fingers - touch the child’s fingers with each finger in turn, saying: “Hello, little finger,” “Glad to see you, ring finger,” “Good afternoon, middle finger,” “ Greetings, index finger", " Have a good day, thumbs up!”
Make sure that the baby extends just one finger to greet you, and not the entire palm. Help him separate his fingers if he has any difficulty. Simultaneously with finger training, the baby learns a variety of greeting phrases.
Games without speech accompaniment can also be used to train your fingers:
Game "Man". The index and middle fingers of the right hand “run” across the table (“little man”). The same movements must be made with the fingers of the left hand, of both hands at the same time.
Game "Trees". Raise both hands, palms facing you, fingers spread wide. Swing your arms left and right. At the beginning of each game, tell your child how to position his fingers correctly, show options for movements with his fingers and hands.
Game "Pull the String". Explain to the baby that now you will test which of you is the strongest. Explain the rules of the game: you need to pull the string to your side by taking it with your fingers or holding it in your fist. Place the rope, cord or handkerchief on the table. Give one end of the rope to the child, and grab the other yourself. On command, begin to pull towards yourself. Of course, the child must win this competition, but you should not give up right away - let the child train his fingers, develop their strength, trying to hold and pull the rope. Be sure to praise the baby for being the strongest and most dexterous.
Finger games for children from 2 to 3 years old
Obedient fingers
During this period, the child’s fingers and hands acquire good mobility and flexibility, and stiffness in movements gradually disappears.
If you notice that the child copes with the task easily, complicate it: add new movements, change their sequence, learn other, more intricate finger games. In the game, ask your baby to repeat whole sentences and quatrains after you. Encourage and praise him for completing the task correctly.
Finger game "Snail"
Say the nursery rhyme, showing your child all the actions. Ask him to repeat the movements after you:
Snail, snail! (The hand clenched into a fist “crawls” across the table.)
Stick your horns out! (Straighten the index and middle fingers - “horns” and quickly remove them.)
I'll give you a delicious pie! (We show open palms.)
I don’t need pie, (We twirl our clenched fists.)
Freedom is dear to me.
I'm crawling and crawling along the path,
If I want, I’ll stick out my horns (Straighten the index and middle fingers.)
And if you touch it a little...
The horns are being removed! (Fingers hide again - clench into a fist.)
Finger game “Ram and bagels”
Teach your baby to form rings with his fingers, alternately closing the thumb with the small, ring, middle, index and thumb:
Early in the morning early in the morning
I bought a sheep lamb. (We close the rings, starting with the small finger.)
And then for rubles
He bought bagels. (Close the rings with your fingers in the reverse order.)
One, two, three, four, five - (We bend our fingers one by one.)
I started counting bagels.
One, two, three, four, five - (In the reverse order, we straighten our fingers one by one.)
He started chewing bagels.
And he ate everything... (Show palms.)
Game "Magic Web"
For this game you will need a thin colored cord. Ask the baby to show his hand with his fingers outstretched. We braid the lace into rings around each of the baby’s fingers, and let him try to remove it from his fingers without using his free hand. You can play out this exercise with your little one: for example, tell him that the spider has woven its magic web around his fingers, and he needs to free himself. When your child manages to remove the lace, accompany his success with a surprise moment, for example: “Hurray! You are a wizard! I was able to free myself from the magic web! Well done!"
Finger theater for children
The finger theater is a great invention: light, convenient, mobile. You can purchase ready-made figurines that are put on your fingers, you can make characters for the finger theater yourself - for example, from felt, paper, knitted from yarn, or you can buy them in a store. This toy will delight your baby for a long time, training his fingers, improving speech, fantasy and imagination.
Organize joint performances, and the audience can be family, friends, and peers of the child.
The simplest option- make “actors” out of paper.
Wrap a sheet of paper 3-5 cm wide around your finger and glue it into a roll. If the puppeteer is a child, the roll should be thinner.
Next, we decorate the doll: paint it, draw the face, arms, and details of clothing. Be sure to do features character: the king - a crown, the grandfather - a beard and mustache, the grandmother - a handkerchief.
Such artists are suitable for fairy tales with a large number of characters. Each finger is a separate hero. So you can put the Russians folk tales: “Turnip”, “Wolf and seven kids”, “Teremok”, “Winter quarters of animals”.
Shadow theater for children
Fingers folded in a certain way under special lighting can turn into fairy tale characters. For lighting, use a small table lamp or night light.
Place the night light so that the light from it falls on the wall. Hands should be positioned away from the light source so that their shadow is reflected on the wall.
Before showing the fairy-tale action, you will have to practice together and master the techniques of correctly showing the character’s movements: how he moves his ears, opens and closes his mouth, etc.
We offer several games for shadow theater:
Game "Bunny". Elbows rest on the table. Extend the index and middle fingers of your right hand upward, and connect the tips of the ring and little fingers to the tip of the thumb. Make smooth rotational movements with the brush (the bunny moves). Perform the same exercise with the fingers of your left hand, with both hands at the same time.
Game “Chicken Drinks Water”. Elbows rest on the table, fingers folded in the form of a beak. Perform rhythmic bends of the arms forward and return to the starting position - “pecking the grains.” The kid can watch the shadow projection on the wall in fascination, and later he himself will be glad to take part in the performance.
Finger game "Animals at work." Read the poem to your child, simultaneously showing all the actions that the animals perform in it. Let the baby repeat the movements after you. You need to perform the movements with both hands at the same time:
Today is the whole day
All the animals are at work:
The fox-sister is hemming her fur coat, (Gather your fingers into a pinch and unclench.)
The gray bear, the old grandfather, knocks his boot, (We knock our fists against each other.)
And the white-sided magpie drives away flies. (Waving hands.)
Masha the bear cooks porridge for the children. (We make circular movements with our hands.)
A hare sweeps a broom under a tree. (We hit our palms against each other tangentially - we “shake off” our palms)
Child's finger trainer
Place a small thick elastic band (for example, for hair) on the baby’s thumb and index finger and ask him to stretch it several times. Let the baby try to stretch the elastic with only two fingers, without the help of a second hand. Then put the elastic band on your thumb and middle finger and so on until your little finger. This game allows you to strengthen the muscles of your fingers and improve the coordination of small movements. To make it more interesting for the baby, we can say that we hang a lock on his fingers and he needs to stretch it to free himself.

Finger games for children preschool age
Mikhalenok Ekaterina NikolaevnaJob title: teacher
Place of work: NDOU kindergarten No. 68 JSC Russian Railways, Bryansk
Description of material: I present to your attention a selection of finger games for preschool children. This material will be useful for educators, speech therapists and parents.
Target: Development of children's logorhythmic abilities.
What are finger games for?
To the famous teacher V.A. Sukhomlinsky owns the saying: “The child’s mind is at the tips of his fingers.” Today, all mothers and fathers, without exception, know that playing with fingers develops the child’s brain, stimulates the development of speech, creativity, and imagination of the baby. Simple movements help to remove tension not only from the hands themselves, but also to relax the muscles of the whole body. They can improve the pronunciation of many sounds. In general, the better the fingers and the entire hand work, the better baby speaks. To determine the level of speech development, speech therapists have long developed the following method: the child is asked to show one finger, two fingers and three. Children who are able to make isolated finger movements are talking children. If the movements are tense, the fingers bend and straighten only together and cannot move separately from each other, then these are children with problems in speech development.
The fact is that the hand has the largest “representation” in the cerebral cortex, therefore the development of the hand plays an important role in the formation of the brain and the formation of speech. And that is why the child’s verbal speech begins when the movements of his fingers achieve sufficient accuracy. The child’s hands, as it were, prepare the ground for the subsequent development of speech. In addition, the goal of classes to develop dexterity and accuracy of the fingers is to develop the relationship between the hemispheres of the brain and the synchronization of their work. The fact is that in the right hemisphere of the brain we have various images objects and phenomena, and in the left they are verbalized, that is, they find verbal expression, and this process occurs thanks to the “bridge” between the right and left hemispheres. The stronger this bridge, the faster and more often nerve impulses travel along it, the more active the thought processes, more precisely the attention, the higher the abilities.
If you want your child to speak well, learn quickly and easily, and deftly perform any, even the most delicate work, - with early age start developing his arms: fingers and hands.
In China, exercises with stone and metal balls are common. Regular exercise with them improves memory, cardiovascular and digestive systems, eliminate emotional stress, develop coordination of movements, strength and dexterity, support vitality. And in Japan, exercises for palms and fingers with walnuts are widely used. Rolling a hexagonal pencil between your palms has an excellent effect.
Finger games have been common among a variety of peoples for a long time. So, from an early age, our children were taught to play “Ladushki”, “White-sided Magpie”, “Horned Goat”. Today, experts are reviving old games and inventing new ones.
I present to your attention finger games that I use in practice.
