Simple finger games for toddlers. Finger game "We are playing"
- a thing that is absolutely necessary for a mother raising a baby. In addition to developing fine motor skills, this is a great way to distract and cheer up a child, because at the heart of every game is a nursery rhyme or a poem. And if there are many children in the family, finger gymnastics often becomes the favorite game of seniors with younger ones. We have collected 12 games for different ages, repeatedly tested by experienced teachers in their classes.
Many parents know that finger gymnastics is necessary for all kids and preschoolers. In the modern world, with its ready-made toys and an abundance of household appliances, children's fingers are getting less and less useful work. Finger games come to the rescue - they develop dexterity, mobility, creativity, attention and reaction speed, and funny poems help relieve nervous tension. Kids who regularly do finger gymnastics speak better, learn to write faster, have a good memory, develop coordination of movements, and rather calm down after stress.
Finger gymnastics is very good as a daily independent play activity with a toddler. Many teachers and speech therapists use finger gymnastics in their developmental classes as a physical education, rest and change of activity. Finger games are also perfect for children's parties - they are easy to include in the script, they are convenient to intersperse with contests, getting up in a round dance with the kids.

"A child's mind is at his fingertips."
V. Sukhomlinsky
Who among the adults has not noticed how children love to play with the word? The child still does not utter the words, suddenly a sound suddenly breaks out, and now he is repeating it in every way - humming. How much joy is in the eyes of the child during the humming! He plays with sound.
Then, playing with the word, children begin to understand their native language, master its structure, and learn to speak. It is no coincidence that almost all folk nursery rhymes are built on dialogues. Kids love rhymed speech, its sound, they experience great pleasure when they read poetry.
We offer you a collection of rhymes and nursery rhymes for finger games. Each mother can play these games with her baby. Many of these games came to us from grandmothers, so any mother has an idea of how to play them. Indeed, in these games, the intonation with which the nursery rhyme is read, and the movements of the hands and fingers are also important.
"Dariki - mosquitoes"
- the game is at the same time simple, educational and vivid: to depict mosquitoes, the hands are folded with a pinch and describe circles, while the sound that invariably causes delight is emitted, “V-z-z-z-z-z!”, And then it is explained that the mosquitoes “curled- whirled around - grabbed onto the cheeks (or somewhere else) - bite-bite-bite-bite! " A slight tingling of the named part of the body at the words "bite-kus" also pleases most children and makes them laugh.
Gifts, gifts,
Oh yes mosquitoes!
Curled, curled,
Curled, curled,
They grabbed the nose!
They grabbed your ear!
They grabbed the hairs!
They grabbed my knees!
-The mosquitoes bit us. Let's banish them:
-Kysh-shoots-shoots!
What is this bush?
Standing, hands in front of the chest in the "lock"
What is this crunch?
The bush has "sprung up", has grown - the hands are connected only by the bases of the palms and fingertips. We slightly turn our palms in the opposite direction and at the same time emit a crunch as we can (throat, tongue, cheeks ...) Children really like it!
How can I do without crunch,
Here our "cabbage" grows and becomes the size of a ring of hands, the fingertips are connected above the head. In order to warm up, you can check your posture in this position and feel every muscle of the back.
If I am a cabbage?
We chop cabbage, chop,
"Chop cabbage" on the surface of an imaginary table with the ribs of the palms. An adult, while pronouncing this line, may well “chop the cabbage” from one edge of the table to the other and back, the distance between the edges is about 60 cm. For children, it is enough to chop in one place.
We salt the cabbage, we salt it,
Both hands are folded with a pinch and "salt". If you are also warming up, you can "salt" a large surface (hands move back and forth).
We mash the cabbage, mash,
We clench and unclench our fists
And three, three carrots,
Three palms together - for training, keep them at chest level and press on the palms with force, this exercise strengthens the chest.
Pe-re-me-shi-va-em!
Stir - horizontally.
We stuff tightly into the barrels
Palm on palm, "crush" the cabbage, not bending over, but bending and straightening the elbows - also watch the pectoral muscles if you are stretching.
And we make up the basements.
In the same position, we bend deeply and put our folded palms on the floor.
Eh, delicious cabbage!
We straighten up and stroke ourselves on the stomach.
"Building a wall"
(based on the developments of Ekaterina Burmistrova)
1.
We build a wall
Higher, higher
We hold straight palms horizontally in front of us (the little finger of each is looking down, the thumb is up, the inner surface of the palms is facing the chest), alternately we put the “lower” palm on the “upper”, imitating brickwork.
2.
We got to the roof!
By the time these words are uttered, the "wall" should "grow" approximately to the eyes. We fold a gable roof from the palms: the ridge is the touching tips of the middle fingers, the slopes are the palms and forearms.
3.
Whose roof is higher?
Higher, higher, higher!
The folded hands stretch-stretch-stretch up! Adults, make sure your spine stretches along with your arms! (one girl even got up on a chair so that her roof was higher!)
4.
We cut through the window
And a door for a cat
And a hole for the mouse:
Pee-pee-pee-pee!
The named holes are depicted with thumbs and forefingers: a large quadrangle, an arch, a small round hole. The lines about the mouse are pronounced in a thin voice.
"Views"
First - big Vyushki - we twist with fists.
I hit the beaters! (banging fists against each other)
I'm nailing it up, I'm nailing it up!
Then - little Vyushki - with your fingers.
Views, views, views, views!
I hit the beaters!
I'm nailing it up, I'm nailing it up!
"House"
Knock, knock, knock,
there is a knock somewhere.
Hammers are knocking, they are building a house for rabbits (we knock with our fists).
Here with such a roof (palms above the head).
Here with such walls (palms near the cheeks).
Here with such windows (palms in front of the face).
Here with such a door (one palm in front of the face.)
And with such a lock (handles linked).
There is a lock on the door.
Who could open it?
Turned
Twisted,
Knocked
And - they opened it! (unhooked the handles)
"At the mill"
At the mill, on a whirligig (we twist the tassels around each other),
2 crucians fought (we touch the fingertips of both hands several times),
that's the whole story (we shrug our shoulders).
"Fingers"
This finger is a grandmother.
This finger is dad
This finger is mom
This finger is me
That's my whole family!
*
This finger went into the forest.
I found this finger - a mushroom.
This finger has taken its place.
This finger will lie tightly.
This finger - ate a lot,
That's why he got fat.
*
(Bend our fingers)
This finger wants to sleep
This finger went to bed
This finger just took a nap,
This finger has already fallen asleep.
This one is fast, sound asleep.
Quiet! Hush, do not make noise!
The red sun will rise
The clear morning will come.
The birds will chirp
Fingers will get up!
(fingers unbend)
"The flower has blossomed"
The fingers are clenched into a fist. Each finger is alternately straightened and laid to the side, like the petals of a flower, the thumb and pinky are straightened at the same time. This exercise can be performed differently: the palms of both hands are raised up and pressed against each other with the tips of the fingers and the bases of the palms - the flower is closed. The fingers of the same name on both hands are simultaneously pulled back - the flower has blossomed.
In our front garden
Near the terrace
Grow blue
Pansies.
Pansies,
Pansies,
They bloom
Fast, like in a fairy tale.
(3. Alexandrova).
"Spider"
The spider weaves, weaves its web,
the cobweb, though thin, holds the moth tightly.
The cobweb is breaking, the moth laughs
"Spider - 2"
The spider walked on the branch, and the children followed him.
Rain from the sky suddenly poured
the spider washed away to the ground.
The sun began to warm
the spider went again,
and all the children followed him to walk along the branch.
"Ladushki"
Okay, okay,
Baba baked pancakes,
watered with oil,
children gave:
Masha is two, and Dana is two. Dima is two and mom is two.
"Snail".
Finger play with correct movements. True, it does not give the correct knowledge about snails, but, strictly speaking, this is not required from finger games.
Snail-snail, Open the gate, leave the house, Let's get acquainted! Hands at chest level: one palm is clenched into a fist, the other covers it - this is a snail shell. When the quatrain is read, we quickly push the cam "out" - now the cam is not hidden, but lies on the forearm of the other hand, but the wrist behind the fist is tightly surrounded by the palm of the other hand.
Snail-snail, Shoot out the horns, I will give a pie! Open two fingers of the cam. It is better if you unclench the little finger and the ring finger - the "snail" will look more like it. If at the same time your child unclenches, for example, the index and middle, or even all fingers - do not correct.
Snail snail, let's go for a walk! On these words, the snail does nothing - it listens to you and decides what to answer (not for long).
- They crawled, crawled, crawled ... "Snail" crawls on the forearm, then on the shoulder. Naturally, she cannot drag the "shell" behind her, the "shell" has imperceptibly disappeared.
- Ouch! It tickles! I'll go to another snail! (If you repeat - goodbye, snails!) "Horns" tickle the ear or neck. Repeat all the same, hands change roles.
"Caterpillar"
1. Caterpillar, caterpillar, The palm of one hand "crawls" like a caterpillar, folding and unbending, along the inner side of the other hand from the shoulder joint to the tip of the fingers. (Not the other way around, because the caterpillar crawled onto a blade of grass from the ground!)
2. Butterfly's daughter, "crawls" back to the shoulder on the outside of the arm
3. Crawls along the blades of grass, We do the same, changing hands: "from the root to the top"
4. Eats leaves: And on the other side back.
5. Um!
Om!
Om!
Om! We put our palms together in front of us. With every word "Am!" one palm slides up the other palm and "bites" with all fingers, except the thumb, straight fingers of the other palm. Then the palms change roles. Adults, as a warm-up, can "bite" the palm firmly, while intensely bending its fingers back.
6. Eat - Stop, palms folded together relax
7. I wanted to sleep. ... one squeezes into a fist, the other covers it - holds the fist like an apple.
8. Woke up - Gradually straighten our palms ...
9. Turned into a butterfly! We cross our hands in the area of the wrists, the palms are now the wings of a butterfly.
10. Flew, flew, flew! We wave "wings" (wrists or forearms are crossed, the left palm waves near the right shoulder and vice versa). You can gradually unbend your elbows so that the butterfly flies upward or into the distance.
*
Speech therapy finger game.
I inflated an elastic balloon (you inflate a balloon from the handles).
He was bitten by a mosquito.
It doesn't matter if the balloon burst -
I will inflate a new ball.
*
This nursery rhyme not only develops fine motor skills of the hands, but also teaches counting.
This house has five floors:
On the first one lives a family of hedgehogs,
On the second one lives a family of rabbits,
On the third - a family of red squirrels,
On the fourth, a titmouse lives with its chicks,
On the fifth, the owl is a very intelligent bird.
Well, well, it's time for us to go back down:
On the fifth is an owl,
On the fourth is a tit
Belchata in third,
Hare - the second,
On the first hedgehogs, we will come to them.
*
We made soup soup (rub our palms together)
From pearl barley groats (rub our palms)
It turned out to be porridge (rub our palms)
This is our grief (grabbing our head)
Kneaded the dough (knocked on the table with their fists if they were sitting at the table and on their knees if they just sat)
And it's not moving (we keep our hands at ease)
Kneaded by shaking (knocking again)
Can't keep you on the reins !!! (we spread our arms to the sides, as if we want to hold)
Finger games are a very important part of fine motor development work. These games are very emotional and exciting. They contribute to the development of speech, creative activity. "Finger games", as it were, reflect the reality of the surrounding world - objects, animals, people, their activities, natural phenomena. In the course of finger games, children, repeating the movements of adults, activate hand motor skills. Thus, dexterity is developed, the ability to control their movements, to concentrate attention on one type of activity.
"Finger games" is a dramatization of any rhymed stories, fairy tales with the help of fingers. Many games require the participation of both hands, which allows children to navigate in terms of "right", "left", "up", "down", etc.
Children from one to two years old well perceive "finger games" performed with one hand.
Three-year-olds are already mastering games that are played with two hands, for example, one hand represents a house, and the other - a cat running into this house.
Four-year-olds can play these games using several events in succession. Older children can be offered to decorate the games with a variety of props - small objects, houses, balls, cubes, etc.

When you repeat the game, the other hand works. When the movements become familiar, you can try to play with both hands at the same time.

Movements are performed in accordance with the text, as your fantasy tells you.
The main motor achievement of the baby by this age is walking. The child began to walk independently. The freed hands allow you to experiment with the surrounding objects, the skill of the predominant use of the right or left hand is formed, and the coordination of movements is improved. It is physical activity that contributes to the development of the cognitive abilities of the baby.
Influence of fine motor skills on child development
Numerous studies of scientists have confirmed the connection between intellectual development and digital motor skills. It was found that the level of speech development in children is in direct proportion to 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 exercises for training the fingers are also a means of stimulating the activity of the cerebral cortex, which contributes to the development of thinking and attention.
One of the important features of finger games is their accessibility. To play with your baby, no special tools or toys are required. All play material - pens, fingers of a child. It is only important for mom to know a few special exercises and learn the texts of verses for them. You can play these games at any time and anywhere: on a walk, in a queue at a clinic - where you need to occupy the baby, distract him or interest him.
Finger games for a child are selected taking into account his capabilities and gradually become more complicated. These games provide good training for the fingers, contribute to the development of listening skills and understanding the content of the verses, and teach them to catch the rhythm of speech. When the baby recites poetry and simultaneously moves the fingers of his hands, his speech obeys the rhythm, is accompanied by movements, becomes louder, clearer, emotional.
Popular nursery rhymes provide a good workout. Mom first reads the nursery rhyme rhythmically, highlighting the semantic parts intonationally, accompanying the reading with playful movements. Then the baby is invited to repeat the movements, and at an older age - and the words of the nursery rhyme.
When it is difficult for a child to perform a particular exercise, an adult should help by taking his handle in his own, helping to move his fingers, bend them and unbend them. This is how the necessary movements are taught, the fine motor skills of the fingers are trained and, accordingly, speech development is stimulated.
Finger games for a child up to one year old
Exploring our capabilities
Finger training can be started as early as two months of age. During this period, massage plays an important role. Stroke the baby's hands in the direction from the fingertips to the wrist, take each finger separately, bend and unbend it.
Game "To each his own name"
If you have never played finger games with your baby before, start with the elementary - just look at the fingers, name each finger, stroke it affectionately. You can simply list the names of the fingers (thumb, forefinger, middle, etc.), or you can give each finger its own name.
Calling the "name", bend and unbend each finger in turn:
Finger Antoshka - A little mischievous. (Bend and unbend your thumb.)
Vlad's finger - Loves outfits. (Bend and unbend the index finger, etc.)
Kolya Finger Studying at school.
Timosha's finger - The boy is good.
Finger Irishka - Quite a baby.
You can come up with your own names and poetic lines to them or pronounce the baby's name in different ways: first the full name, then the 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, learns to distinguish it from the speech of adults.
Game "Pencil - helper"
Take a ribbed pencil and roll it over the palms and fingers of the crumbs. Another exercise option 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, forcing the skin receptors to work.
You can massage your palms and fingers with a small ball (such as a ping-pong ball) or any other rounded object. The massage effect will be more noticeable if you use a special hedgehog ball with rubber "thorns". Roll it in the palms of the crumbs, pressing them to the ball.
Master the famous folk games with little fingers - "Magpie-crow", "Ladushki", "Koza-dereza".
By the age of 9-10 months, it is recommended to train the circular movements with the baby's thumbs. The period when the thumb is opposed to the rest is of particular importance. From this moment on, the child becomes accessible to the delicate movements of the fingers, the baby masters the tweezers grip (the ability to take objects with the thumb and forefinger).
Game "Boy-with-finger"
Ask the child to unclench his palm and, helping him to make movements, begin to pronounce the nursery rhyme:
Thumb-boy, where have you been? (Make circular motions with your thumb.)
With these brother - I went to the forest, (We bend the little finger in turn first,)
I cooked cabbage soup with this brother (then the ring finger, etc.)
I sang songs with this brother,
I ate porridge with this brother,
That's why he got fat. (Circular motion with your thumb.)
Crane game
To play you will need a plastic bucket and 6-7 small toys or objects (toys from "Kinder Surprise", large beads, walnuts, construction kit parts).
The baby's handle 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 the baby the sequence of actions, commenting on your movements along the way. Then ask the baby to repeat first with the right hand, then with the left.
Show the child the gestures that are substitutes for the words: "Goodbye, bye, bye!" - the baby unclenches his fingers and waves his palm, "Give me!" - the little one squeezes and unclenches the cam 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 toddler to clap when he likes something. The baby quickly memorizes these movements, and over time will learn to repeat.
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 manifestation of independence of the baby also brings to the exercise with fingers. At this age, he can repeat some simple movements without the help of an adult, focusing on showing and copying actions. Independence is also manifested in speech. The kid tries in his own manner, loudly and clearly to pronounce sounds, words or phrases when performing any part of the exercise.
Finger game "Spider"
The spider crawls, crawls, (Fingers are clenched and unclenched, "walking" on the surface - on the table, hand, leg.)
He weaves a cobweb.
The cobweb is even thin
Holds the moth tightly. (Rounded palms are folded one on top of the other.)
The moth sat and sat,
Suddenly he fluttered - and flew away! (We wave our arms in the air.)
Ask the baby to pronounce the ending words: "crawling", "sitting", "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 a grandfather
This finger is a grandmother
This finger is a daddy
This finger is mommy
This finger is me.
All my family.
After saying the nursery rhyme several times, encourage the baby to repeat after you, or complete the sentence you have begun. For example, you say: "This finger", and the baby complements - "grandmother", etc. Repeat the exercise with the other hand.
Finger game "Piano"
Simulate playing the piano by tapping each finger in turn, then with your entire palm with fingers spread out on the table surface:
We bought a piano
Tra-la-la, tra-la-la.
We play together with grandmother
And the whole family is dancing.
Tra-la-la, tra-la-la.
Game "Fingers say hello"
Sit down with the baby at the table opposite each other, "say hello" with your fingers - with each finger touch the child's fingers in turn, saying: "Hello, little finger", "Glad to see you, ring finger", "Good afternoon, middle finger", " Greetings index finger "," Have a nice day, thumb! "
Make sure that the baby sticks out one finger for greeting, and not the whole palm. Help him separate his fingers if he has difficulty. Simultaneously with the training of the fingers, the baby learns a variety of greeting phrases.
Games without speech can also be used to train the fingers:
The game "Man". The index and middle fingers of the right hand "run" on the table ("little man"). The same movements must be performed with the fingers of the left hand, both hands at the same time.
Game "Trees". Raise both hands with palms towards you, fingers spread wide. Shake your arms left and right. At the beginning of each game, tell the baby how to place the fingers correctly, show the options for the movements of the fingers and hands.
Pull the rope game. Explain to the little one that now you will check who is the strongest of you. Explain the rules of the game: you need to pull the string to your side, taking it with your fingers or clenching it in a fist. Place the string, string or handkerchief on the table. Give one end of the rope to the child, take the other yourself. Start pulling on command. Of course, the child must win this competition, but you shouldn't give up right away - let the kid 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 agile.
Finger games for children from 2 to 3 years old
Obedient fingers
During this period, the fingers and hands of the child acquire good mobility and flexibility, the stiffness of 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 the baby to repeat whole sentences, quatrains after you. Encourage and praise him for doing the right job.
Finger game "Snail"
Say the nursery rhyme, showing the child all the actions. Ask him to repeat the movements after you:
Snail, snail! (A hand clenched into a fist "crawls" on the table.)
Pull out your horns! (We straighten the index and middle fingers - "horns" and quickly remove.)
I'll give you a delicious pie! (Show open palms.)
I don’t need a pie
Freedom is dear to me.
I'm crawling, crawling along the path
If I want to - I'll stick out my horns (We straighten the index and middle fingers.)
And you touch it lightly ...
Horns are removed! (The fingers hide again - clenched into a fist.)
Finger game "Sheep and bagels"
Teach your baby to collect fingers into rings, alternately closing the thumb with the small, ring, middle, index and thumb:
Early in the morning, early in the morning
A ram bought a bagel. (We close the rings, starting with the little finger.)
And then into rubles
He bought bagels. (We close the rings with our fingers in the reverse order.)
One, two, three, four, five - (Bend fingers alternately.)
He began to count the bagels.
One, two, three, four, five - (In the reverse order, alternately unbend the fingers.)
He began to chew the bagels.
And he ate everything ... (We show our palms.)
Magic Web game
You will need a thin colored lace for this game. Ask the baby to show the handle, spreading his fingers. We braid the lace with rings around each finger of the baby, and let him try to remove it from his fingers without using his free hand. You can play with this exercise together with a crumb: for example, tell that a spider has woven its magic web around his fingers, and he needs to free himself. When the kid manages to remove the lace, accompany his success with a surprise moment, for example: “Hurray! You are a magician! I was able to free myself from the magic web! Well done!"
Finger theater for children
Finger theater is a great invention: lightweight, comfortable, mobile. You can buy ready-made figurines that dress on your fingers, you can make characters for the finger theater yourself - for example, from felt, paper, knit from yarn, or you can purchase them in a store. This toy will delight the kid for a long time, training his fingers, improving speech, fantasy and imagination.
Arrange joint performances, and the audience can be family and friends, peers of the child.
The simplest option is to make the "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 - accordingly, the roll should be thinner.
Next, we make out the doll: we paint, draw the face, pens, details of clothing. Be sure to make the distinctive features of the character: the king - the crown, the grandfather - the beard and mustache, the grandmother - the headscarf.
Such artists are convenient for fairy tales with a large number of characters. Each finger is a separate hero. So you can put Russian folk tales: "The Turnip", "The Wolf and the Seven Kids", "Teremok", "Winter 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, night light.
Install the night light so that the light from it hits the wall. The hands need to be positioned from the light source so that the shadow from them is reflected on the wall.
Before showing a fabulous action, together you will have to practice and master the techniques of correctly showing the character's movements: how he wiggles his ears, opens and closes his mouth, etc.
We offer several games for the shadow theater:
Game "Bunny". The elbows are resting on the table. Extend up the index and middle fingers of the right hand, and connect the tips of the ring and little fingers to the tip of the thumb. Make smooth rotational movements with a brush (the bunny is moving). Perform the same exercise with the fingers of the left hand, with both hands at the same time.
Game "Chicken Drinks Water". The elbows are resting on the table, the fingers are folded in the form of a beak. To make rhythmic bends of the hands forward and return to the starting position - "peck the grains." The kid can be fascinated by the shadow projection on the wall, and later he himself will be happy to take part in the performance.
Finger game "Animals at work". Read a rhyme to the kid, along the way showing all the actions that the animals perform in it. Let the baby repeat the movements behind you. You need to perform movements with both hands at the same time:
Today is the whole day
All the animals are at work:
The little fox-sister sews a fur coat, (We collect our fingers into a pinch and unclench.)
Gray bear, old grandfather, knocking his boot, (Knocking fists against each other.)
And the white-sided magpie drives away the flies. (Wave your hands.)
The bear Masha cooks porridge for children. (We make circular movements with the hands.)
A hare sweeps under a tree. (We hit each other with our palms tangentially - "shake off" our palms)
Baby finger trainer
Put a small tight elastic band (for example, for hair) on your thumb and forefinger and ask to stretch it several times. Let the baby try to stretch the elastic with only two fingers, without the help of the second hand. Then slide the elastic over your thumb and middle fingers, and so on down to your little finger. This game allows you to strengthen the muscles of the fingers, improves the coordination of small movements. To make the baby more interesting, we can say that we hang a lock on his fingers and he needs to stretch it in order to free himself.
