What are some warm-up exercises for children?

Young children are in the period of growth and development and can only do some simple exercises. However, these simple exercises may be easy for older children, but young children are more special, so the amount of exercise needs to be reduced, and some simple exercises should be selected. Of course, children must get proper exercise at all times. Some sports are very helpful for exercising children's coordination ability. Warm-up exercises are required at all ages no matter what exercise is done. So what are the warm-up exercises for young children?

Currently, warm-up exercises usually involve letting children run, jump, walk, or do the same old calisthenics or apparatus exercises. Over time, children will find it boring and even get tired of it, which will reduce the effectiveness of the warm-up exercises.

A teacher once carried out an activity called "Turning and Jumping in Circles". She chose the game "Playing Table Tennis" which is familiar to children in their lives and let the children warm up cleverly by happily catching the ball. The specific method is to let the children catch the ball according to the direction and strength of the teacher's hit. If the teacher hits the ball to the left, the child will run to the left; if the teacher hits the ball hard, the child will run far; if the teacher hits the ball lightly, the child will run close.

In warm-up activities, in addition to cultivating children's athletic qualities, we should also cultivate their thinking abilities. Effective educational activities are an opportunity for interaction between teachers and students. Teacher-student interaction should be advocated in warm-up activities, and the content of teacher-student interaction should be designed to encourage children to participate independently. Teachers are only participants and instructors of the activities.

The warm-up game of imaginary table tennis can not only develop children's thinking but also incorporate warm-up exercises into their daily routine. This warm-up method that incorporates game elements can often achieve the best warm-up effect.

After reading the above content, you will have an understanding of the question of what warm-up exercises are for young children. We should pay more attention to young children's exercise, because many people think that young children do not need exercise, and even if they exercise, they do not need to do warm-up exercises. These ideas are incorrect. We should choose the correct parenting method. Children are also prone to injuries during exercise, so warm-up exercises are also very important.
