Increasing difficulty
The second level requires more precise, but static actions, thanks to which “S” will be pronounced much easier.
"Stepan's Dream"
For each line of the poem it is necessary to make movements of the fingers, lips or tongue. Children must recite the verse.
Stepan has a sweet dream (children cover their eyes with their hands)
Sees fresh sour cream (open eyes wide and lick lips in a circular motion of the tongue clockwise)
In a familiar blue bowl (the palms of both hands need to be joined so that a depression is formed - we represent a bowl)
And he has a spoon with him (now the bowl is represented by one bent palm, and the protruding index finger of the other hand is a spoon. The child makes circular movements of the thumb along the “palm-bowl”).
He eats sour cream with a spoon (his thumb “scoops up” imaginary sour cream and brings it to his mouth. You can imitate chewing movements).
Stepan dreams of all this (they cover their eyes with their palms again).
Difficult level
The third level teaches the coordination of individual fingers and their opposition. Working out this kind of movements helps to reproduce “S” on demand at any moment of speech.
Stepan has a sweet dream - the children cover their eyes with their hands
Sees fresh sour cream - open their eyes wide and lick their lips with a circular movement of the tongue clockwise
In a familiar blue bowl - the palms of both hands need to be joined so that a depression is formed - we depict a bowl
And he has a spoon with him - now the bowl is represented by one bent palm, and the protruding index finger of the other hand is a spoon. The child makes circular movements of the thumb on the “palm-bowl”
He eats sour cream with a spoon - his thumb “scoops up” imaginary sour cream and brings it to his mouth. You can depict chewing movements.
Stepan dreams about all this - they cover their eyes with their palms again
Then alternately connect your thumbs with others, getting new rings and training fine motor skills.
You should praise the child when he succeeds, because positive emotions make it much easier to produce the “C” sound. Kids like rhyming speech, which means that classes will proceed without much difficulty and will bring the greatest benefit.
The role of finger exercises should not be exaggerated - it will not replace full-fledged physical education, nor will it replace communication between mother and child. Finger skills are very necessary, for example, for working on a computer or mobile phone. And having trained fingers that can quickly perform quick coordinated actions is very useful.
For beginners
Exercises vary in difficulty. Young children, as well as those kids who are not familiar with such work, should start from the first level. These tasks for the hands develop the ability to imitate, hold the tension in the hands for a while and switch attention.
"Hares"
A fairly simple exercise, suitable for children 2-3 years old, since it does not require complex coordinated movements of the fingers and facial muscles.
Jumping, jumping in the woods (jumping on the spot)
Hares are gray balls (jumping, holding their hands to their chests).
Jump - jump, jump - jump - (jump forward and back)
The little bunny stood on a stump (straighten up and put his hands on his sides).
Lined everyone up in order (turn your body to the right, move your right arm to the side, then to the left and extend your left arm to the side)
Began to show charging.
Once! Everyone walks in place. (marching in place)
Two! They wave their hands together (hands in front of them, making “scissors”)
Three! They sat down and stood up together. (sit down, stand up)
Everyone scratched behind the ear. (scratch behind the ear)
They reached for “four”. (hands up, then to chest)
Five! They bent over and bent over. (bend over, lean forward)
Six! Everyone stood in a row again (stand straight, hands to chest)
They walked like a squad. (marching in place again)
