What are the ball games for children?

The early childhood period is a relatively important stage, because during this stage, children will have a deep memory of what they see. Therefore, it is necessary for us to cultivate children's interests so that it becomes a specialty. So what are the ball sports for children? For example, some sports like bouncing a ball or kicking a ball are fine. Besides these, what other sports are there? Let’s take a look at it together.

Ball sports promote children's hand-eye coordination: There are many ways to play ball sports, dribbling, kicking, catching, and bouncing. Each way of playing allows children to move their whole body and exercise the whole body. More importantly, the hands and eyes must be coordinated, which strengthens the body and promotes brain development.

Ball games promote the development of children's motor coordination ability: when playing with a ball, they need to run, jump, and shoot. Repeating these actions can help children develop sports skills and improve their motor coordination ability.

Ball sports can improve children's judgment ability: If children want to play ball sports well, they must judge the direction of the ball and see where the opponent is kicking the ball so that they can react quickly. Only in this way can they catch the ball and continue the game. Repeating this many times can greatly help children's brain judgment ability and improve their judgment ability.

Ball games can enhance children's team spirit and promote harmonious parent-child relationships: ball games can involve multiple people. If multiple children participate together, children are required to learn to cooperate with other children in a team. Only when the children work together can the game be carried out intensely. If there are group competitions, children are required to develop a spirit of cooperation and work with their friends to win good results for the team. If you participate with your parents, it can also promote our parent-child relationship, allowing parents and children to exercise and play together, making the relationship more harmonious.

1. The role of balls

There are many types of balls and they have a wide range of uses. They are very helpful in developing children's physical motor skills, eye focus, and coordination between hands and feet.

2. Use of balls

1. Push the ball on the ground

Let the child lie on the ground, facing the wall, about 20 cm away from the wall, with chest up, head up, arms suspended in the air, and push the ball horizontally towards the wall with both hands. After the ball bounces back from the wall, catch it and push it towards the wall again, and repeat this process.

Children who lack tension in their neck and back find it difficult to lift their head, neck and arms. They often need to support themselves on the ground with their elbows and slowly push and catch the ball. These children should strengthen their skateboarding training. When practicing pushing the ball on the ground, the instructor can help them lift their elbows, assist them in lifting their head and neck, and practice pushing the ball at a faster frequency. Start by pushing the ball 100 times a day, increase to 200 times after a week, and up to 600-800 times.

In addition to causing the neck and back muscles to tense and contract, lying on the ground and pushing the ball can also strengthen the eye's ability to focus and improve eye jumping and restlessness. The cyclical movements of eye-hand coordination can help children have a clearer understanding of their hands, feet and limbs and make them more dexterous in using their limbs. It is a good therapeutic activity for alleviating movement disorders.

There are quite a lot of ball sports suitable for young children. Since every child is the hope and future of the family, many parents are reluctant to let their children play some ball sports. This is wrong. We should cultivate children's hands-on ability from an early age. When children are playing, we must watch them nearby to avoid some bad consequences.
