“Children are exactly the same as adults
I want to be healthy and strong,
Only children don’t know what to do for this.”
Janusz Korczak
The goal of our preschool educational institution is to create favorable conditions for the formation of a successful personality of a preschooler, the preservation and strengthening of health, and the comprehensive development of physical qualities.
We promote the development of initiative and independence in children's daily physical activity. Motor activity is the basis of a child’s individual development and life support. Movement is a means of understanding the world around us, satisfying biological needs on which children’s health, their physical and general development depend.
In accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard, a preschool educational institution graduate must have good health, good physical development, and physical fitness.
In order for children to move actively, adults must create favorable conditions. The motor environment should be saturated with various equipment and sports equipment. Our group has a physical training room. Our physical education corner has a wide variety of sports equipment: health tracks, tags, dominoes, checkers, ring throws, hummocks, golf, skittles, gymnastic sticks, balls and much more.
The physical education corner should be maximally adapted to meet the children’s need for movement. The following requirements are imposed on the physical education corner and its equipment: pedagogical, aesthetic, hygienic. With the help of the physical education corner, the independent motor activity of children develops well.
Children enjoy using sports equipment in their daily life at the kindergarten.
The kids love to take part in various relay races, for example, using ring throw. Children develop interest in sports, development of accuracy, dexterity of movement, and orientation in space.
Children also enjoy relay races involving climbing and jumping over obstacles.
For this we use gymnastic sticks and cones . Physical qualities such as flexibility, endurance, intelligence, speed and clarity of movement develop. Children become more interested in the game, their mood rises, and they feel like one with the team.
Physical education equipment “bumps” can also be used in relay races, when running with obstacles, taking a ball in your hands and passing it to each other.
Also, to improve movements, develop speed, endurance, and coordination of movements, children love outdoor games. In the formation of a child’s diversified personality, outdoor games are given the most important place. They are considered as the main means and method of physical education. Being an important means of physical education, outdoor play simultaneously has a healing effect on the child’s body.
For example, such as “traps”, where they use multi-colored ribbons. Children play in a team, navigate the current situation, develop qualities such as will, desire to win, strength, dexterity and speed of reaction.
Active physical activity, in addition to its positive impact on health and physical development, provides psycho-emotional comfort for the child. For example: rolling a ball to each other during the verbal-logical game “I know 5 names...”.
A large number of movements activates breathing, blood circulation and metabolic processes. This in turn has a beneficial effect on mental activity. Articulation gymnastics is carried out using non-traditional sports equipment.
The game of golf cannot be played without a club and a ball. With the help of this game, children develop their eye and accuracy of movement.
Tag is a game that develops children's thinking, concentration, intellectual abilities, ability to work in a team, joint decision-making, and develops counting.
Checkers develop logical thinking.
Dominoes teach children the ability to play together and obey the rules of the game.
To prevent flat feet and provide various effects on children’s feet, health tracks are used. Regular massage of the feet helps to improve the child’s health daily and easily.
The health track allows you to make this process not only useful, but also very exciting. For example, using bags for balance and coordination of movement.
Thus, the creation of a developmental environment for independent motor activity of children, adequate to their age and needs, helps to improve health, expand motor experience, develop a strong interest in physical exercise, self-organization skills and communication with peers.

Equipment for the physical training area
To ensure that preschool children’s sports activities are as active and useful as possible, you need to properly distribute the equipment. Convenient placement of sports equipment allows children to easily approach them without interfering with each other.
Important! To maintain interest among kindergarteners, you can periodically change the location of the equipment.
Modern equipment for a sports ground may contain the following list of sports furniture and equipment:
- Swedish wall;
- gymnastic benches;
- rope ladder; rope ladder and other attachments;
- a special place for storing equipment - jump ropes, hoops, balls, relay batons, etc.;
- soft modules and trampolines;
- plastic slide;
- dry pool;
- orthopedic rugs and tracks;
- gymnastic mats;
- regular and massage balls, rings and rollers, jump ropes and sandbags and other small dispensing equipment;
- football goals and so on.
All this equipment should be used taking into account the age group of children. For example, if a dry pool is suitable for children, then soft modules are suitable for older kindergarteners. As the children's interests expand, the corner can be replenished with more complex equipment.
Brief description of the main sports equipment
The main characteristics of gym equipment are shown in the table.
| Equipment | Characteristic |
| Swedish wall | Typically, sections are located around the perimeter of the entire gym. Their optimal number is from 4 to 6. The height of the sections should be no more than 2.5 meters, and the distance between the crossbars should be from 20-22 and 30-40 cm. It’s good if the wall is equipped with additional equipment - a rope ladder, trapeze, rope, rings, etc. It is imperative to place a gymnastic mat near the wall bars. |
| Benches | Benches should be smooth, without cracks or snags. They should also not be slippery. The height of the benches can be 20, 25,30 cm, and the length is 3 meters. |
| Soft modules, trampoline, mats | Choose equipment with good padding to avoid injuries. Stick to models in bright colors. The modules can be used as building material, arches and obstacles. |
| Orthopedic mats and tracks | Important elements for preventing flat feet and training your feet. The path may contain small parts, hard and soft elements. |
Features of equipment for the younger group
For kids, it is better to design the corner as one of the parts of a large play area. Rolling toys, balls of different sizes, cubes, tambourines, and walking slides should prevail here. Children, being in constant motion, must use the available equipment and toys at their own discretion.
Of great interest to younger preschoolers are masks for games, presented in the form of fairy-tale characters. They can be successfully used in sports exercises and games.
The video shows an example of the design of a physical education area for children:
How best to decorate a corner in the middle group
Supplement the physical education area with albums on introducing different sports. Sports equipment here is formed based on subgroups of children who already organize their own sports leisure activities. Games such as darts, skittles, and towns should be freely available. Details about the design of a corner for children under 5 years old are shown in the video:
What to pay attention to when designing a sports corner in the senior group
For older kindergarteners, it is reasonable to create a complex atmosphere for performing different types of physical education elements. It is also important to introduce children to key episodes in the sporting life of the country and city. In addition to a variety of sports equipment, the corner in the senior group should be supplemented with schemes for conducting different games, according to which the children themselves will be able to play any game. The sports area should be actively used during the day, both together with the teacher and individually. An excellent addition to the physical education area for the older group will be a Swedish wall with rings and a rope. What else can be equipped with a sports corner in a kindergarten, see the video:
