Articulatory gymnastics for the senior kindergarten group

Parents who have had to seek help from a speech therapist, for sure, know what miracles articulatory gymnastics is capable of . A carefully selected set of special exercises and their regular execution will avoid problems with the correct pronunciation of individual sounds and words.

For the purposes of prevention, articulatory gymnastics is performed in different age groups of the kindergarten. For classes, educators select a variety of complexity and focus of the exercise, and clearly demonstrate the principle of their implementation of crumbs on their own example.

Nuances of articulatory gymnastics in kindergarten

For pupils of the younger group, the educator or speech therapist selects the simplest exercises. Lingula, lips and lower jaw - first of all the movements of these organs are practiced. But as the kids improve their skills, the requirements change and the level of their complexity increases. So, for the children of the older group of the kindergarten articulatory gymnastics consists of several rather complicated exercises, the purpose of which is to teach crumbs to clearly and correctly pronounce individual sounds and their combinations.

As for the directly articulatory exercises, it should be noted that they can be: static and dynamic, aimed at training different components of the speech apparatus (lips, tongue, mandible, cheeks).

Here is an approximate complex, consisting of the most common exercises for pupils of the senior group of the kindergarten:

1. To begin with, the children are doing the "Smile" exercise. To do this, they need to keep their lips in a smile for 10-15 seconds, so that the teeth are not visible.
2. Instead of "Smile" you can make "Proboscis" - pull the sponge with a tube. Or "Bagel" - to close your teeth, and your lips to round and pull forward.
3. Then the exercise for the language should follow. Alternatively, you can offer the children to make "Gorochku" - slightly open the mouth, the tip of the tongue to rest in the lower incisors, and lift the tongue back up.
4. Of the number of dynamic exercises, many children like "Swings" - when a strained tongue stretches to the nose, then to the chin.
5. It is interesting to observe how the crumbs "clean the teeth". Babies with the tip of the tongue spend on the front and inner side, first the upper, then the lower row of teeth.
6. Also funny looks a whole group of "piglets": the sponge-toes stretched out by the tube move to the right and left, then rotate in a circle.
7. In the end, you can learn how to talk like "fish": slap your lips against each other, while uttering a dull sound.
