Dance games for kids 4 5. Dance games with toddlers

But you still want to work out with him at home? Your endeavor is commendable. So you will not only demonstrate your interest in the affairs of your child, but also be able to additionally entertain him and occupy him for a while. And games are not only fun, but also very useful. It will be better if you gather the child's friends - after all, playing alone is boring. Ready? Then let's start!

1. "Dancing on chairs." Chairs are arranged in a circle, children sit on them. The leader stands in the center and shows simple dance movements to cheerful rhythmic music. Mainly head, shoulders, arms, back work. This game is not a competition. It can serve as an excellent warm-up before the rest of the dance games. If the children like it, they can get up from the chairs and continue to do the exercises already with the participation of the legs: jumping, stomping, turning.

2. Everyone knows the game with music and chairs. The meaning of the game is that any number of children and chairs are selected - but in such a way that one child does not have enough. Chairs are arranged in a circle, music is turned on, children begin to run around. When the music stops, the children try to take the chair before anyone else. The one who did not have enough chair is out. However, we offer you a modernized version of the game. In it, children should not run, but dance around the chairs. Make sure that no one goes on a run - violators are eliminated!

3. "Frozen figures". This game requires several children - from three to ten, but not too many to make it easier to keep track of everyone. Pick up fun and dynamic children's music and bring a turntable. The essence of the game is that the children dance while the music plays. When she stops - this should happen suddenly - the children take any dance position and freeze. The one who moved, laughed or could not keep his balance is out.

4. "Find a friend." All you need for this game is kids, music and a certain amount of free space. Children dance to a cheerful tune, moving around the site in random order. Crossing randomly, the children greet each other with a nod of the head. The music stops abruptly, and each child must find a "friend" - that is, simply a neighbor - and greet him with a handshake. The one who did not have enough “friend” is out. This game perfectly develops reaction and facilitates socialization, because children, although in the game, learn to get to know each other.

5. "Hat". Participants break into pairs and dance to rhythmic music. The host moves around the hall with a hat and randomly puts it on the head of one of the participants, after which he changes places with him. The child with the hat, in turn, begins to walk around the room and look for someone to change with. The game ends when everyone has been "in the hat". By the way, the hat can be replaced with any item, for example, participants can pass an ordinary bottle to each other.

Musical dance games for children of the younger group of kindergarten

Description: Dancing games can be used with younger preschoolers on music lessons, and can also be set for the holiday "Mother's Day" or March 8. Music for these dance games can be picked up on the piano or button accordion. Any folk melody suitable according to the words will do. It can be “Oh, you canopy, my canopy”, a melody of ditties. Or maybe the teacher himself will come up with a simple melody. For example, I picked up a simple, easy-to-remember melody. These songs are very fond of kids, and their parents are very touched by looking at them.

Another great song in my opinion. A simple melody can be picked up by a music director. The song is kind and sweet. Suitable for various activities with kids. For example, for "Mother's Day" or for the holiday of March 8. Children dance with their mothers. Here are the lyrics of the song:

“We are walking along the path, we are leading our mother”

Outdoor games and game dances for children preschool age

Card file of outdoor games and game dances

for preschool children

Developed by Efimenko T.V., music. head of MB DOU " Kindergarten№257"

All dances in this category are designed to develop a sense of rhythm, elementary coordination of hand and foot movements in a playful way. The movements are easy to perform by children of primary preschool age. In addition, as practice shows, these mini-dances are also very interesting for children of preschool age.

Game dances can be used by educators as moving minutes, as well as during exercise.

Ringtones for musical accompaniment should have a pronounced rhythm and average pace. In parallel with the music, we give an account: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (“eight”).

The card file comes with a disc with melodies for each game.

"Helping Mom" ​​Disc 1, track No. 1.

To the music, we perform movements that imitate actions during washing. Each movement is repeated for one "eight". The position of the legs is in the sixth position, does not change during the dance. All work - hands and body. Each new movement starts from the right side. We follow the correct posture.

You can start by saying: “Well, guys, help mom! Let's wash our own pants!" In subsequent lessons, the children themselves will suggest which piece of clothing to “wash”.

On the initial stage every movement is spoken “Erase!”, “Squeeze!” 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 small turn to the right and left for every two counts to the corresponding leg. We perform two movements down on each leg.

2 move.- “squeezing”: The work of the body is the same, but now two movements, simulating the squeezing of the laundry. Hands at chest level.

3 movement- "shake": The work of the body is the same. The arms are bent and raised up, then we perform a sharp movement with our hands down, as if shaking the sheet. Two movements in each direction.

4 move.

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

"Building a house!" Disc 1, track #2.

To the music, we perform movements that imitate actions with instruments. Each movement is repeated for one "eight". The position of the legs is shoulder width apart, does not change during the dance. All work - hands and body. Each new movement starts from the right side. We follow the correct posture.

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

2 move.- "hammer": knocking fist on fist.

3 movement- "my windows": alternately with the right and left hands we make two circular movements. Second hand on the belt.

4 move.- "we are tired": The work of the body is the same. Alternately with the right and left hands we draw on the forehead, as if wiping sweat. Two counts for every move.

"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- “play the harmonica”: count -1- we take the right fist and the right toe of the foot to the side. In this case, 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- we 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- we spread our elbows and heels in different directions, leaving the fists and toes in place. -6- in ref. position. -7-8- repeat the movements.

The mobile game "Animals" Disc 1, track No. 4.

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

1. Frog

- Where can you find it?

Well, of course, in the swamp!

Green like grass

Says: "KVA, KVA, KVA!"

To the music, the 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

- Standing on one leg

He gazes into the water.

Pokes beak at random -

Looking for frogs in the river.

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

3. Bunny

- Who is shaking behind a bush,

Small tail trembles?

You know the coward -ka -

It's probably grey.

1 movement- we shift from foot to foot, swaying.

2 move.- slight tilts to the side, raising one leg, we make small jumps. The same with the other leg.

Mystery:

No, not a bird, but it flies.

She flies high.

Sit on a flower

And the coloring beckons everyone.

All such a cutie

Small. (Butterfly)

The girls, to the music, waving their arms, move on half-fingers around the hall, depicting the flight of a butterfly. At the moment when the music is turned off, they squat down, as if on a flower, and lower their "wings". Everything is repeated three or four times.

"Give-Give" Disc 1, track number 7.

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

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

dancing hat

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

Music Freeze

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

Music Freeze 2

Everyone dances to the music, the host says - and now our right hand is frozen, and everyone hides their right hand behind their backs and dances with the rest of their body, then the left hand freezes - we dance with our feet and head, then our legs freeze, we dance with our nose, etc.

Musical goodies

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

"Grandfather Mazai and hares"

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

Dance competition for making couples

The boys go out, stand in a circle, two girls stand in the center of the circle with their backs, blindfolded, the music turns on for 10 seconds, at this time the boys walk in a circle, after the music turns off, the girls should choose a pair without looking.

Dances with balls

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 heterosexual - there will still be no close contact between the dancers.
Each pair is given a balloon, which is placed between the players. As soon as the music starts, the couples begin to dance, holding the ball with their stomachs. Those who could not keep the ball are eliminated from the competition. Also, those who held the ball too hard and it burst are also eliminated. A couple that touches the ball with their hands is also disqualified.
The last couple left wins.

ice dancing

The contestants are divided into pairs. Each pair is given an A2 paper sheet. The couple must fit on the sheet, and in addition, dance a certain dance on it, depends on the music and the whim of the leader.
Further, at the command of the presenter, the dance composition changes to a faster one, and the pieces of ice on which the participants dance melt - the paper is folded in half. It gets tighter, and you have to dance faster. Those who stand up for the ice floe drown, that is, they are eliminated from the competition.
Then the ice melts again, that is, the paper is folded twice more, and the music changes to an even faster one. Dancing becomes almost impossible. Only the most slender and agile remain.
The pair that remains last wins.

Dances of the peoples of the world

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

Couples become in the center. The host explains the rules. When the music is turned on, the participants should begin to dance 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 (dance of the Brook), Tango, Waltz, Czardas, Kalinka, etc.

Which pair will orientate faster, that one 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.

(Primal dance, "robot dance" to techno music)

The boys stand in a circle, so that they do not peep, with their backs to each other. The music turns on, and the girls begin to dance (run) in a circle around the partners or from partner to partner. As soon as the music ends, each girl must stand in front of her partner. The one who did not have enough partner leaves and takes one of the partners with her.

Second option: the partners are standing, and the partners are dancing around them.

Third option:"Musical chairs". There should be one less chair than the participants. The rules of the game are the same.

16. The game "Musical Objects"(hats, balloons, gifts, toys)

Number of players: any.

The number of items must be one less than the number of players.
Variant of the game: balls are passed to the music, and there are one less of them than the participants. The music stops and the one without the ball comes out. If the balloon burst, the player is also out of the game. Or, instead of balls, players pass and put on hats. Moreover, you can remove the hat from another player yourself, and not wait until it is handed over. During the stop of the music, the player who does not have an object in his hands leaves.

Second option: transfer one item. And during the stop of the music, the player who will have the item in his hands comes out. Whoever is the last to be left without an item will be the winner.

Third option: if you play with a gift, then it will be taken by the one who has this gift left at the end of the musical passage. So it can be interesting to give gifts.

17. Dance game "Aram-zam-zam"

Number of players: any.

The players stand in a circle and, under the guidance of a teacher, learn the movements: for the phrase “aram-zam-zam, aram-zam-zam” we do 3 claps on the knees with repetition; to the phrase “ghouls-ghouls-ghouls-ghouls” we do “rolly-polly” - rotation with arms bent in front of us in a circle away from us (fingers are gathered into cams); to the phrase "ram-zam-zam" - we repeat the first movement; repeat the first and second actions again with the words; then, on the phrase “arafic-arafic”, we tilt the body forward with arms crossed on the chest
(twice); then we repeat the actions on the phrase “guli-guli-guli-guli-guli-ram-zam-zam”. Having learned the words and movements, we dance to the music: in place, moving in a circle, in pairs opposite each other.

18. Dance Game "Holiday Train"

Number of players: any.

Children stand one after another, holding hands (on the hips of a neighbor). The teacher is ahead of everyone - the leader. Music sounds, everyone starts to move after the driver, repeating the movements that he makes arbitrarily, adding the phrase: “Left rudder! (turn left.) Rudder right! (turn right) Mountains! (get up on tiptoes.) Tunnel! (crouch or bend over.) Forward move! (Move forward.) Reverse! (move back.) Stop!” (leader changes.)

The second option is "Dance Snake": the driver on the go comes up with movements without phrases, and the rest repeat after him. When the music stops (after 20 seconds), the driver goes to the end of the snake, and his neighbor becomes the new driver.

19. The game "Freeze dance figure"

Number of players: any.

The host stands with his back to the players and says the words:

We clap merrily - one.
Great jump - two.
Spinning, spinning - three.
Freeze dance figure.

The players at this time clap their hands, jump, spin, and then freeze in place in a dance pose. The leader turns and chooses in his place the one whose dance figure he liked.

Second option: instead of the leader's words, music sounds - the children dance. The music is interrupted, the host chooses a new host.
