Lithotherapy session with preschoolers. Non-traditional methods of working with preschool children. Lithotherapy. General conditions for organizing sand therapy
Psychological correction of emotional disorders in children is mainly aimed at alleviating emotional discomfort, increasing their activity and independence, eliminating secondary personal reactions caused by emotional disorders, such as aggressiveness, increased excitability, anxious suspiciousness, etc.
As you know, in preschool age, the leading activity is play. At the same time, on an individual basis, play does not always come first. There are children who love to draw, sculpt, design. With them, the correction must be carried out using precisely these types of activities. And children are very fond of experimenting. This is due to the fact that visual-effective and visual-figurative thinking is inherent in them, and experimentation, like no other method, corresponds to these age characteristics.
Playing with sand, clay, stones and other natural material "revives" the child's genetic memory. It is known that the first games appeared as a result of human interaction with nature. The healing powers of nature, minerals, the centuries-old experience of our ancestors should and can be widely used to work with children.
Lithotherapy - (from the Greek lithos - stone and therapia - treatment) treatment with minerals.
Types of lithotherapy:
Gemma therapy - treatment with precious stones.
Crystal therapy - healing by wearing crystals.
Gastrolithotherapy - treatment with stones formed in the internal cavities of animals, etc.
When it comes to lithotherapy, most often it means massage and meditation. Lithotherapy and gemma therapy are used in work with children with special educational needs.

In the book by T.D. Zinkevich-Evstigneeva and T.M. Grabenko "Correctional, developmental and adaptive games", great attention is paid to games with sand and stones.

Lesson "Ordinary in stone".
Part 2.
Traveling to the world of stone is a very exciting and exciting experience. Studying the stones, you definitely go to the distant past of our planet. There are countless different stones on earth: beautiful and not so, of different colors and shapes. All these stones are older than us, they keep many secrets and mysteries. Let's go on a journey through the world of stones? (Yes.)
(Slide "The Knight at the Crossroads").
If you go to the right, you will find a large stone. If you go straight, you will find a lot of stones. If you go to the left, you will meet beauty. And where do we go first? Left? What have we found? Big Stone.
The game "Ordinary Miracle".
Let's sit comfortably to see each other and play with this stone. This stone is not simple - it is magical. With its help, you can create a miracle.
I have a stone in my hand. It is heavy (imitation of weighing), cold, unpleasant to the touch (corresponding facial expressions), rough, it has sharp edges. It is not very pleasant to hold it in your hand. But I will try to warm this stone before handing it over to you ... (calls the child's name).
Take, stone, the warmth of my hands, the heat of my heart. Give, stone, my feelings to a friend. (the stone is passed to the neighbor on the left).
What do you feel? What stone is it worth? Heavy, isn't it? How does it feel? Smooth or rough. Yes, it's gritty. Now tell me please: are you holding a cold stone in your hand? (for comparison, put a stone in your other hand that was not in your hands). Warm, of course. Why? What did I ask the stone for? (Answer). Now you and I will perform a miracle - we will warm the stone with your warmth. Let's say together: “Take, a stone, the warmth of my hands, the heat of my heart. Pass, stone, my feelings to a friend. " (The stone is passed to the neighbor on the left, and so to each child).
This game allows you to differentiate your own feelings, analyze and express them, thereby teaching the basics of introspection and interaction. It is very important to realize that each of us can work a miracle (the stone returns).
I hold a stone in my hand. It is heavy, rough, it has sharp edges, but it is very pleasant to hold it in your hands, because it is warm, because it transfers the warmth of your hands. Here it is a miracle: our hands can warm even a stone.
Game "Mountain and Pebbles".
Music from the series "Sounds of Nature" is played.
There is a story about stones. If you want, I will tell you about it, and you will help me to portray it.
Once upon a time there was a big, big mountain. She considered herself the strongest, but the wind and water claimed that they were stronger. The years passed. Water poured onto the mountain in rains (music imitating raindrops) and sharpened stones. Frost froze the water in the cracks, and the wind carried away small pebbles and grains of sand from its surface. (The music of wind). Here one pebble rolled down the mountain (one child moves away from the others), then another, the third m (some more children take turns moving away from the center). The mountain became smaller and smaller and eventually became completely invisible (all the children disperse). Thus the wind and water toiled day after day and conquered the great mountain.
Guys, what do you prefer to be lonely pebbles or to live together in one mountain? (Answers of children.)
All children gather in the center.
So the mountain is friendship. What are wind, water and frost? (Answers of children). I'll give you a hint: this is what gets in the way of friendship. For a friendship to be strong, you need to be kind, be able to forgive and help each other. Now let's go on looking for miracles!
Game "Multi-colored pebbles".
Check out these beautiful multi-colored pebbles. It's amazing how generous Mother Nature is for colors! What colors do you see here? (Answers of children).
Well done! Take a pebble for yourself. Now, when the pebbles are in your hands, carefully examine them, try to notice the peculiarity of your pebble. (Next comes the expansion of vocabulary, a set of adjectives). Feel what kind of stone is to the touch (smooth or rough, hard or soft), what is its temperature (warm or cold). See how big it is (big or small), shiny or not, transparent or not! Let's see the light! Now knock your pebble on your neighbor's pebble. What sound did you hear? What is this sound like?
Children's answers.
Thus, work is proceeding on all three channels of perception: vision - visual, hearing - auditory, sensation - kinesthetic.
Game "Magic transformation"
Take another close look at your stone. What does it look like? What can you turn it into? (Into a berry, a fruit, a wheel from a typewriter, a flower, the sun ...) Now try to depict what your pebble looks like, and the rest of the guys will try to guess what you are up to. You can voice your actions. (Development of imagination and creativity.) Now we will mix all the pebbles in one box, and you try to find your own among all. Fine! Put the pebbles in the box, they will still be needed there.
This exercise contributes to the development of children's cognitive processes - attention, perception, imagination, speech.
"Painting from stones"
What do you think can be done. (there is a picture frame, pebbles and other waste material). Yes, of course, using this material, we can create different paintings from these stones. To do this, we need to split into pairs, choose a place where it will be convenient for you, agree on what you will create and give a name to your painting.
This exercise promotes the development of creativity, spontaneity. The group organization solves the problems of rallying the children's team, their emancipation, the development of communication skills. After work, there is a discussion: the title of the picture, how did you feel doing the work together?
Each child is involved in the discussion. Everyone should talk about their feelings and experiences.
The third part.
Reflection. "A pebble in a shoe."
Have you ever had a pebble in your shoe? What did you experience while doing this? (Pain, discomfort). If you don't remove the pebble and take a few steps? (It will hurt.) We experience the same feelings when we are angry, offended by something, agitated, as if we have a small pebble in our shoe. If we immediately feel uncomfortable and get him out of there, then the leg will remain unharmed. And if we put a pebble in our shoes, then we will most likely have problems. Therefore, it is useful for all people - both adults and children - to talk about their problems as soon as they notice them.
The problem-play experiment expands the tasks of expanding ideas about basic emotions, improving communication skills, and developing cooperation skills in children in the process of collective discussion.
And now I ask you to think, do you feel any displeasure, something that bothers you? If you feel, then tell us. For example: “I have a pebble in my shoe: I don’t like that Vanya is pushing me.” If you feel good and nothing bothers you, you can say: “I don’t have a pebble in my shoe”.
The phrase "I have a pebble in my shoe" - negative emotions, experiences.
The phrase "I have no pebble in my shoe" - positive emotions, interest.
Thus, using the techniques of lithotherapy in kindergarten, it is possible to develop communication skills in children, promote psychoemotional liberation, relieve muscle tension and reduce the severity of the manifestation of emotional and personal disorders.
Mineral treatments
Stones, in addition to jewelry, work well in the form of plates, stone balls, discs, massage sticks.
For treatment, the stone is heated (activated) by holding it in the sun or dipping it into warm aromatic oil.
Then you can carry out massage, acupuncture, acupressure, disinfection and treatment of wounds, applications, treatment with light radiation of the stone, and much more. For example, being in underground salt caves (speleotherapy) perfectly cures asthma and various allergies.
Examples of different healing techniques
1. Discs and balls made of natural stones in massage sessions
Within 12 - 20 minutes, a section of the body is massaged with a stone ball in a linear and circular manner, followed by covering with a woolen cloth for 20-30 minutes.
For example, massage with rhodonite, charoite, rose quartz helps well with functional disorders of the nervous system, migraine, vegetative-vascular dystonia and for cosmetic purposes. The areas of influence of stone massage are the forehead, cheeks, cervical region, shoulder girdle area.

For healthy people, massage is effective for rejuvenation, improving overall tone and vitality.
2. Stones are used for acupressure (pressing on active points)
In this case, massage sticks with a spherical tip made of natural stone are used.
It is convenient to fix natural healing stone beads with a diameter of 0.3 to 0.8 cm on active points and then press the bead on points associated with diseased organs along the Chinese meridians.
3. Stones "work" in acupuncture sessions
For example, quartz (druses and large crystals) is applied to the free end of an inserted needle during an acupuncture session. This is done to reverse the polarity of the steel needle. The exposure time is 3 minutes for each needle. Or the crystal is alternately applied to the inserted needles. It is believed that jasper chips, for example, have the ability to induce a stream of spiritual Shen energy to the tip of the needle, characterized by a special tension. At the same time, any jasper is suitable, but green is better. Red jasper is effective against viruses, black - when faced with village magic. But for the spiritual transformation of the healer, you can use blue or blue jasper, tk. it enhances the flow of pure cosmic Qi from the outside.
4. Light emission of a grenade
The light radiation of pomegranate cleans the body of toxins and dead tissue cells, promotes the processes of regeneration of damaged and "aged" tissues due to the targeted action on the mechanism of hematopoiesis and, indirectly, on blood circulation.
5. Application of white-veined carnelian
An interesting technique of using white-veined carnelian was developed by the doctor E.I. Badigina in 1942 for the treatment of open wounds during the Great Patriotic War.
At the end of the thirties of our century, Professor E. Badigina conducted serious scientific research on the medicinal properties of carnelian.
She found that at low doses of natural radiation of some types of carnelian, the most important life processes of the body (for example, cell division and growth) are stimulated, and at high doses, they are inhibited.
During the Second World War, carnelian therapy by the method of Professor E. Badigina was widely used in Siberian military hospitals. Carnelian successfully replaced antibiotics, which were not available in Russia at that time. Many years of experience in the study of carnelian using this method has shown that wound healing is accelerated, the nervous system is restored faster, the blood composition improves, edema and tumors are eliminated. This increases appetite and improves sleep.
Then it was done like this: a stone weighing 30 grams. applied to the open wound for 5 minutes twice a day daily until healed. Or, with a device consisting of a hair dryer and a metal tube holding the mineral, they heated it from a distance of 0.5 - 1 cm from the injury site. Of 433 patients with open injuries, complete cure was observed in 278 after 1 course, in 112 - after 2 course. Treatment turned out to be ineffective only in 5 cases.
6. Jade
Nephritis takes a special place in Stone Therapy. It is associated with transformation, complete external (rejuvenation) restructuring. “Gold has a price, but jade is priceless,” says an old Chinese proverb. Independently of each other, jade was used for thousands of years in China and in Central Pre-Columbian America by Indians. It is called the stone of eternity. Its touch brings comfort, protects against fatigue, prolongs life. Jade heals kidney and other diseases, saves from earthquakes and lightning, wards off the "evil eye", failure and misfortune, promotes marriage and childbirth.
Having the effect of "adding" energy, jade activates the kidney meridian. In acupuncture it is believed that the kidneys are a store of "clean energy" of the material basis of human growth, development and reproduction, they control the growth and function of the bone marrow, keep under control such character traits as determination and will, as well as sexual activity.
In Chinese medicine, the kidneys are considered the “roots of life”. The maximum activity of the kidney meridian is 17.00 - 19.00 hours, the minimum is from 5.00 to 7.00 hours. The renal meridian is connected directly with the 5th and indirectly with 3 of the 8 wonderful meridians, which are a kind of accumulators - "pools" and "lakes" of energy, where it accumulates when the main meridians overflow and returns when they are empty. It carries the primary, ancestral energy that influences the transmission of hereditary traits. All other major meridians transmit nutritional energy. For therapeutic purposes, jade is used in the form of massage sticks, roller massagers, plates.
Jade has a thermal, tonic and stimulating effect on the body. Medical jade plates with a diameter of 2-3 mm to 2-3 cm (round) or 2x4 cm - rectangular plates are used. They are fixed with a bandage or adhesive plaster on the lower back. The duration of application with jade plates is 3-5 days, then it is good to take a 2-3-day break. Then the procedure is repeated, placing the plates on the same or different areas. Sometimes such treatment can be replaced by wearing a bracelet, ring, hoop, beads (which is more pleasant, since the skin is not irritated by the adhesive plaster.
So, nephritis treats kidney diseases, increased blood pressure, heart disorders, all diseases of the musculoskeletal system, incl. spine, myositis, neuromuscular stress, joint diseases. It has a calming and balancing effect on the central nervous system for rejuvenation.
Nephritis is useful in the treatment of osteochondrosis of the spine. Healing jade plates with a diameter of 2-3 mm to 2-3 cm (round) or 2x4 cm - rectangular plates - are fixed with adhesive plaster 6 pieces (3 on both sides) in the cervical spine and 6 - 8 (3 - 4 from each side) in the lumbosacral region.
The appliques can be worn for up to 2 - 5 days. After a 2 - 3 day break, the fixation is repeated at the same or different points.
But the stones that are used for treatment must be "cleaned". and "charge".
Jade cleaning:
With intensive use, once a month, plates, balls or beads are immersed in a strong solution of sea salt for 2 days. This is done for internal energetic cleansing. External cleansing is done in simple ways - you can wipe the stone with alcohol or wash it with soap, rinse with boiled water.
Charger:
Place the stone in direct sunlight, such as a lighted windowsill, for 2-3 hours. You can charge the stone with moonlight, it is better to do this on the growing moon.

"The mind is a precious stone,
which plays more beautifully in the setting of modesty. "
Maksim Gorky.
"Book of stones" is a classic lithotherapy written in 1067-1081. Mr. Renna Marboda, a scientist, confidently argued that the power of herbs and plants is more significant than the power of a stone.
In the Middle Ages, philosophy believed that stones transmit the energy charges of the Earth and Space to the most sensitive energy centers located on the human body. An invisible bond is established between the mineral and its owner, which can prevent or cure many diseases.
Various areas lithotherapy have been used by mankind for more than one millennium. Chinese medicine is known for its techniques of stimulating specific points with bioactive stones to align energy. Tibetan lamas use more than a hundred types of minerals in their medical practices. Massagers, balls, rosary, pyramids, etc. are made of stones. Water is purified and charged with quartz.

The term lithotherapy comes from the Greek words lithos - stone and therapeia - treatment. A person's desire for knowledge makes him turn to the wisdom of his ancestors, it is no coincidence that modern medicine very successfully uses unconventional methods of treatment, not the least of which is lithotherapy.Even in prehistoric times, people endowed stones with miraculous powers, piously believing that they protect from evil spirits, bring happiness and health. Ancient Egyptian medicine was distinguished by a special reverence for the magical power of stones. This is evidenced by the content of the largest known medical papyrus, which describes in detail the healing effects of various minerals.
Aristotle was engaged in mineral research for a long time.
His student Theophrastus wrote a work on magical minerals. Previously, there was a science dedicated to the basic rules of treatment with precious stones - gemmotherapy (derived from the word "gem" (precious stone), which in turn goes back to the Latin gemma - "bud on a tree").
It is worth using the experience of generations, reasonably supplementing it with scientific research at a good modern level. Since ancient times, the Slavs have revered stones as a storehouse of good health and general well-being. The ancient Slavic manuscripts contain extremely interesting information about the healing properties of minerals.
Having formed in the earth's crust over billions of years, minerals are active agents that have properties that are not yet fully understood by official science, although they are well known to traditional medicine.
For a long time, US doctors have been looking for the causes and characteristics of the action of minerals on the human body. A dozen centers in the United States and two centers in Germany that have studied crystals are already training specialized personnel to carry out lithotherapy work.
More than 500 American and about 50 German doctors use precious and semiprecious stones in therapeutic practice.
Everyone can experience the healing power of stones. A number of scientists confirm the guesses that the inanimate nature existing around us actually lives, develops, changes according to its own laws, and there is no clear line between minerals and the rest of the nature around us.
Before starting treatment, you should carefully read the information about contraindications and restrictions in the treatment of minerals and stones. Only if these conditions of treatment are observed, the result will be achieved and health is not harmed. It should always be remembered that an incorrectly chosen treatment method aggravates the disease, precious time is lost that could have been spent on using a more effective method.
Contraindications... As with any treatment method, lithotherapy has its own contraindications. They are connected, first of all, with the incompatibility of the influence exerted by these or those stones on this or that disease. Therefore, the same stones can act in completely different ways on different people. Researchers have shown that stones such as morion, carbuncle, chrysolite have a depressing effect on the work of the central nervous system, calming a person, relieving increased excitability and irritability. But these stones are contraindicated for people with a melancholic disposition, as well as for people in a state of apathy. With metabolic disorders, many somatic diseases, you should also be careful with the choice of stones. The principle of treating a person, and not his disease, remains relevant here. The color of the stones is also important in lithotherapy. When choosing a stone, here you need to focus on your intuition and your own disposition to a particular color. For example, opaque stones with a dark color (jet, agate) are contraindicated for people who are emotionally fickle, with an unstable psyche, and easily excitable natures. People with a choleric nature should avoid contact with products made of opal, emerald, ruby.
There is already a methodology and there is a domestic diagnostic equipment that allows a strictly individual selection of minerals and metals to stabilize the functional state of the human body, as well as the definition of contraindications to them. Not only jewelry should be chosen individually, but also dental material for filling teeth, eyeglass frames, since they theoretically can be a predisposing factor for the development of pathology, suppressing or, on the contrary, stimulating some functions in the body. Carefully and individually selected items and materials must meet preventive and therapeutic requirements.
It should be borne in mind that minerals have the property of phosphorescence, thermal conductivity, magnetic properties, conduct electricity, that is, they may well be a means of physiotherapy. Electromagnetic biopotentials emitted by various crystals are a powerful therapeutic factor that contributes to the healing of the body. The proof of this thesis is the statement of the German geobiologist Dr. E. Hartmann, according to which there is a biodynamic field around each person, which changes when a person moves in space. It is heavily dependent on geological changes occurring in our environment, which must be taken into account in medical and remedial pedagogy.
A scrupulous analysis of numerous literary data, as well as the centuries-old experience of different peoples, gives us a real opportunity to create a classification of minerals, taking into account their impact on the human body. The level of formation of speech function is based on defective functioning systems of the brain. The normalization of the processes of excitation and inhibition is one of the points of application of lithotherapy. Wearing certain stones can help prevent nervous system disorders, relieve depression and simply improve your mood.
This method is especially suitable for people with a weak nervous system.
Stones have special, unique properties, the decoding of which can be of great benefit in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases.

For a very long time there has been such a direction in gem therapy as the therapeutic color spectrum of crystals, where each color corresponds to a certain stone and type of disease. Even BM Bekhterev proved that each color included in the spectrum creates specific light effects that are captured, transformed by various media of the eye and transmitted to the brain and other organs. These light effects are created by the different wavelengths of light emitted by the minerals and are capable of evoking certain sensations. None of them can help but exert their influence on us. As a result of a number of experiments, it was found that each of the colors is able to influence the disease by changing the speed of nervous processes. So, colors included in warm colors have a tonic effect; close to green - slowing down, yellow - neutral, and purple - depressing. Having studied this effect on humans, scientists have come to the conclusion that the knowledge gained can be used in medicine. Natural minerals with an unusual color and shade are most suitable for these purposes. They are uneven, transparent, unevenly colored, which relaxes and gives the desired effect. Usually, contemplation of a stone can have a strong effect on the body, gives a harmonious flow of thoughts. In total, 7 colors are used in color therapy with stones: red, green, yellow, blue, blue, violet and - less often - orange. All other colors are their composite, white and black are neutral and do not carry information. The very contemplation and contact with the colored surface of the stone must be carried out in complete silence or accompanied by calm music. The action of various precious and semiprecious stones is considered in the system created by E. I. Ganikman: each stone is considered according to the therapeutic color range of crystals that have a therapeutic effect in various diseases.
Red stones strengthen memory. Constant contact of sight with minerals of this color makes various structures of the brain constantly in an excited state, which have a tonic effect on all internal organs. But an overdose of wave vibration can lead a person to stress. Yellow stones (amber, carnelian, sardonyx, jasper, citrine, beryl) excite and revitalize. With nervous exhaustion, they calm down and restore lost strength, it is recommended to use it with increased excitability of nervous processes. Green stones (emerald, malachite, jade, turquoise, chrysolite) have the greatest impact on the nervous system. They have a relaxing effect, increase efficiency, improve vision, as they give the eyes the necessary rest. These stones should be placed wherever our gaze is most often directed. Blue stones (aquamarine, lapis lazuli, chalcedony, zircon) reduce negative reactions to the environment. They can relieve excessive nervous excitability. However, with regard to blue minerals, there is a limitation: with excessive enthusiasm, a progressive development of a sense of fear is possible.
The healing power of nature, minerals, the centuries-old experience of our ancestors should be widely used to preserve and strengthen health.
Speech is one of the most important mental functions of a person and a complex functional system, which is based on the use of the sign system of the language in the process of communication. Verbal communication creates the necessary conditions for the development of various forms of activity. The child's mastery of speech contributes to the awareness, planning and regulation of his behavior.
We all know perfectly well that a well-developed speech of a preschool child is an important condition for successful schooling. It is necessary to help the child overcome speech disorders, as they negatively affect all mental functions, affect the child's activities, behavior. Severe speech disorders can affect mental development, especially on the formation of higher levels of cognitive activity, which is due to the close relationship of speech and thinking and the limited social, speech contacts, during which the child's cognition of the surrounding reality is carried out.
Speech disorders can negatively affect the formation of a child's personality, cause mental layers, specific features of the emotional-volitional sphere, and contribute to the development of negative character traits. This negatively affects the acquisition of literacy, academic performance in general, and the choice of a profession.
Today, in the arsenal of everyone involved in the upbringing and education of preschool children, there is extensive practical material, the use of which contributes to the effective speech development of the child.
But we are faced with the difficulties of corrective work due to the increased number of speech pathology. In special journals, in various methodological and popular scientific publications, defectologists, speech therapists, teachers and psychologists present new non-traditional forms of work with speech pathologists in addition to academic methods. Such authors as M.A.Povalyaeva, M.I. Chistyakova, E.A. Pozhilenko, T.D. Zinkevich-Evstigneeva, T.M. Grabenko and others worked on these works.
According to V.M. Akimenko, any practical material can be conditionally divided into two groups: firstly, it helps the child's direct speech development and, secondly, mediated, which includes non-traditional speech therapy technologies. This
Japanese finger massage technique - thumb massage increases brain activity. If children are worried during speech and twirl objects in their hands, they should not be snatched out of their hands - this is how the child's body relieves its excitement. Japanese scientist Yoshiro Tsutsumi has developed a system of exercises for self-massage. It included: rubbing the pads of the fingers, massage of the palmar surfaces with stone, metal or glass colored balls "marbles", massage with walnuts, massage with hexagonal pencils, massage with "rosary".
In corrective pedagogy, non-traditional methods of corrective influence are widely used: phyto, aroma, chromo, and other types of therapies.
The use of these correction methods cannot be considered independent and self-sufficient, their use, most likely, serves to create a favorable emotional background, which, ultimately, improves the effectiveness of corrective action. These methods include
The therapeutic effect of playing with sand was first noticed by the Swiss psychologist and philosopher Carl Gustav Jung. It would seem that everything is very simple - a child builds something out of sand, destroys the creations created by him without regret, and builds again ... But it is this simple action that keeps a unique secret - there is nothing that would be irreparably destroyed - to replace the old always new comes. Repeatedly living this secret, the baby reaches a state of balance, anxiety and fear go away. Another important psychotherapeutic property of sand is the ability to change the plot, events, relationships. Since the game takes place in the context of the fairy-tale world, the child is given the opportunity to change the situation that is uncomfortable for him. He learns to overcome difficulties on his own.
Playing with sand is a natural and accessible form of activity for every child. A child often cannot express his feelings, fears in words, and then playing with sand comes to his aid. Replaying the situations that disturbed him with the help of toy figures, creating a picture of his own world from the sand, the child is freed from tension. And most importantly, he gains invaluable experience in the symbolic resolution of many life situations, because in a real fairy tale everything ends well.
The observations of psychologists show that it is the first joint games of children in the sandbox that can visually show parents the peculiarities of the behavior and development of their children. Parents see that the child becomes overly aggressive or timid in communication with peers - this can become a reason for thinking about the upbringing system.
Play in the sand with your child. Place your palms on the sand and tell him how you feel: “I am pleased. I feel the warmth (coolness) of the sand. When I move my hands, I feel small grains of sand. What do you feel? " Let the child try to talk about how he is feeling. Make prints of palms, cams, edges of the palms, creating patterns (sun, flower, etc.); "Walk" on the sand with each finger in turn. These simple exercises are of tremendous importance for the development of the child's psyche. They stabilize the emotional state of the baby, teach him to listen to himself and express his feelings. And this contributes to the development of speech, voluntary attention and memory, which is very important for children with speech impairments. But the main thing is that the child gets the first experience of introspection, learns to understand himself and others.
Sand games are varied: educational games provide the process of teaching reading, writing, numeracy, literacy; cognitive games enable children to learn about the diversity of the world around them, about the history of their city, country, etc .; projective games will open up the child's potential, develop his creativity and imagination.
Sand games
You can play sand not only on the street - you can arrange a mini-sandbox at home, in kindergarten, in a speech therapy office.
General conditions for organizing sand therapy.
A large waterproof box is used as a sandbox. Its traditional size in centimeters is 50 x 70 x 8 cm (where 50 x 70 is the size of the field, and 8 is the depth). It is believed that this size of the sandbox corresponds to the volume of the visual field. The traditional sandbox size is designed for individual work. For group work, we recommend using a sandbox measuring 100 x 140 x 8 cm.
Material. Wood is the traditional and preferred material. In the practice of working with sand, plastic boxes are often used, but sand does not "breathe" in them.
Color. The traditional sandbox combines the natural color of wood and blue. The bottom and sides (except for the upper plane of the side boards) are painted blue. Thus, the bottom symbolizes water, and the sides symbolize the sky. Blue color has a pacifying effect on a person. In addition, the "blue" sandbox filled with sand is a miniature model of our planet in human perception. If the means and space of the office allow, you can experiment with multi-colored sandboxes, when the bottom and sides are painted in one or more colors.
Now it can be filled one third or half with clean (washed and sifted) oven-calcined sand. The sand used must be changed or cleaned from time to time. Cleansing is done at least once a month. The sand must be removed from the sandbox, sieved, rinsed and calcined.
To organize games with sand, you will need a large set of miniature objects and toys that together symbolize the world. In classical sand therapy, there is the following classification of objects used in the process of creating sand paintings.
So, everything that is found in the surrounding world can take its rightful place in the collection. If there are not enough figurines-images for classes, they can be sculpted from plasticine, clay, dough, cut out of paper.
A collection of figurines is on the shelves. If there is not enough space on the shelves to accommodate the entire collection, then transparent boxes can also be used.
Partial transfer of speech therapy classes to the sandbox gives a greater educational and educational effect than standard forms of education. Firstly, the child's desire to learn something new, experiment and work independently increases. Secondly, in the sandbox, tactile sensitivity develops as the basis of "manual intelligence". Thirdly, in playing with sand, all cognitive functions (perception, attention, memory, thinking) develop more harmoniously and intensively, and most importantly for us - speech and motor skills. Fourthly, the subject-play activity is being improved, which contributes to the development of the role-playing game and the child's communication skills.
Relying on the techniques of working in the pedagogical sandbox, the teacher can make the traditional methodology for expanding vocabulary, developing coherent speech, forming phonemic hearing and perception in older preschool children more interesting, exciting, more productive.
Before you start playing with sand, you need to talk to the children about the rules of playing in the sandbox. This will help the poem of T.M. Grabenko:
There are no harmful children in the country -
There is no place for them in the sand!
You can't bite here, fight
And throw sand in your eyes!
Do not ruin foreign countries!
Sand is a peaceful country.
You can build and weird
You can do a lot:
Mountains, rivers and seas
To have life around.
Children, do you understand me?
Or should I repeat it ?!
To remember and be friends!
Good luck!
