Stages of work before bed: time plan
There are 3 stages of organizing daytime sleep.
Preparation
The longest and most important stage. At the first stage, children play calm games.
Games for the first and second junior groups
Quiet games with objects:
Games for the middle group
Games for the middle group may include tasks for quick wits and ingenuity (but not only):
Mosaics and construction sets not only train coordination, develop the child’s thinking processes, but also perfectly relax
Games for senior and preparatory groups
These can also be motor games, after which you can tell a fairy tale or do breathing exercises:
It is advisable to involve all the children in the games.
Fairy tales
Children love fairy tales very much. And in younger groups, due to age-related slowness, there is no time left for games, so reading aloud is the best technique. Although older children will be happy to listen to the exciting story.
Poems
At the preparation stage, after playing and reading fairy tales, children go to the toilet and carry out hygiene procedures: they wash their hands, in the summer - their feet, and wash themselves. The younger ones do this with the help of a teacher and an assistant teacher. Adults accompany all actions with poems (especially important for children, whose actions are better organized by such rhymes); older children recite them together with their teachers.
