What is respiratory gymnastics for?
But educators and doctors of the kindergarten will tell you that the goal of respiratory gymnastics in kindergarten is to teach children how to breathe, because according to statistics, 9 out of 10 kids do not know how to do this. In addition, with proper breathing, the whole body is enriched with oxygen, since all the "spoiled" air is freed from the lungs. If the baby breathes correctly, it will help him to cope with various diseases easier: cold, pneumonia, asthma, etc. Also, the baby will always be in a great mood, will not complain about headaches.
Respiratory gymnastics in kindergarten is better spent on the game manners. So the kids will learn the correct breathing faster and it will be much more interesting for them to duffle, like a train or gag, like a goose.
One of the authors of this gymnastics, Vorobyova M., tells in her manuals that the most important element of proper breathing is a deep and smooth breath through your nose. And the output can be different: noiseless and no, but always through the mouth.
We bring to your attention a complex of respiratory gymnastics in a kindergarten, developed by the method of Vorobyeva M. (each exercise is done 3 times):

Another well-known author of breathing exercises is Strelnikova AN. The breathing gymnastics of Strelnikova in the kindergarten began to be introduced back in the 70s of the last century. Her technique was that she focused on a deep breath, and exhaled treated like a natural reaction of the body to the breath.
