The main task of school-age children is to learn.
Every parent hopes that their baby can have a good score, but when tutoring homework and signing children's test papers, it often makes people jump and helpless...
A child's academic performance depends on his ability to learn.
Many parents do not know that in fact, the learning of the brain depends on the input of physical sensations, the normal development and development of sensory integration, and its brain can effectively direct the body and senses and respond to the needs of the environment.
Children who feel that the integration and development of normal children will have the learning ability to do more with less, and children with sensory system disorders, even if the parents are "conscientious" to supervise, reporting more training classes is also the child's pain, you are entangled.
Only by finding out the root cause of the problem and solving it, the child's basic ability is well developed, so what learning performance, language ability, thinking ability are not in question!
The following Jie Xiao'ao will provide different categories of sensory system games according to different learning abilities, so that children can improve their learning ability in the game, and parents must help their children get it!
What abilities do children need to use to learn?
First, the ability to focus
Children with vestibular sensitivity, that is, children with difficulty inhibiting vestibular sensation, will release a large amount of information, whether useful or useless, into the brain, which will also lead to excessive brain pressure and difficulty in brain nerve suppression. Thus causing the child to show inattention and restlessness.
Children lack concentration will
1, usually do homework slowly, procrastination, and careless, error-ridden;
2. It is easy to desert in class, like to do small actions, look east and west;
3. Parents or teachers often can't hear or hear clearly, and don't know what they're thinking;
4, there are many small actions in class, often looking left and right, when the teacher asks questions, he does not know what the question is asking;
5, multi-purpose, do things with a beginning and an end, often halfway abandoned or tiger tail.
5 sensory mini-games to train concentration
1. Schult Form
The training method is to draw a 5X5 square table on a blank piece of paper. Scramble the numbers from 1 to 25, let the child point out the numbers in the order of the numbers 1 to 25, and count the corresponding time used.
This table can also be transformed according to the difficulty and your preference.
If you feel difficult at first, you can first make 3X3, 4X4 tables, and then increase the difficulty, play 5X5, 6X6 tables, and so on, the difficulty can be increased.
You can also change the numbers to English letters, or graphics, how to like how to come.
The Schulte form is also suitable for adults to train concentration. Parents can also compete with their children to make the game more interesting than who spends less time.
2. Connect number games
Even number games can also exercise children's concentration very well.
Draw the lines in sequence of numbers, and a cute stick figure will appear on the final screen.
You can let the child guess what kind of animal will be after the final connection of this picture?
In the process of connecting, children experience fun and exercise patience.
There are many such books on the market, and you can buy one for your child to play with for a long time.
3. Card memory
Training objectives: improve memory, regular training can also help children correct the problem of homework grinding.
Applicable age: 7-10 years old.
Preparation: A deck of playing cards.
How to do this:
Draw a playing card from it to the child, remember the suits and numbers inside, remember, put the playing cards upside down on the table, and use the same method to memorize the second, third, and fourth cards. After all 4 playing cards are reversed, give your child half a minute to reminisce. After half a minute, the students say in order what the numbers and suits are on each playing card, and we flop the cards based on the child's answers.
Playtime: Subject to availability.
4. I say you do
Training objectives: to improve physical coordination, reflexes, concentration.
Parents can tell their children that the number 1234 represents four different actions, such as 1 table clapping, 2 representing jumping, 3 representing rotation, 4 representing squat, etc., and then parents disrupt the order and say the numbers, so that the child can quickly make corresponding actions.
5. Record the news
Training objectives: exercise children's concentration and memory skills.
Listen to the News and Newspaper Digest program or watch the News Feed, or other news program. Immediately after listening to (watching) how many news, how many are domestic, how many are foreign, how many are male and female announcers, and what are the most important six.
Play time: 10-15 minutes.
Note: There will be a certain degree of difficulty when it is just opened, but no matter how it is completed, it must be adhered to.
Extended training: Sticking to 22 days is a big improvement.
Note: This game takes 10-15 minutes each time, and can be done every day.
2. Reading comprehension and writing ability (visual perception)
In terms of reading, visual sensory information depends on the vestibular system of the brainstem to effectively input the cerebral cortex, and the area of memory is divided by the cerebral cortex to interpret the memory of the input visual symbols. Vestibular and inherent poor sensation will affect the input of correct and stable visual information, which in turn will affect the cognitive ability of the cerebral cortex.
Children's visual perception ability is not good
Writing out of line, unable to draw straight lines, skipping lines and missing words, writing inverse words (p written as q), not imitating the simple geometry drawn by the teacher, copying words on the blackboard is relatively slow (such as reading a word, writing a word) and so on.
5 sensory mini-games to enhance visual perception
1. Visual focus
You can extend your index finger 30 centimeters in front of the child's eyes and let him look; you can also give the child a mirror and let the child look at his own eyes in the mirror; you can also let the child do some small games such as coloring and drawing lines that need to be completed by looking.
2. Visual tracking
Parents can project the light of the flashlight onto a wall in a darker room and move it up and down, left and right, so that the child can follow the light while keeping his head still.
Parents can also play a game of throwing and catching balls with their children, so that the child's eyes closely follow the trajectory of the ball.
3. Visual discrimination
Let your child find a special combination among the many numbers, letters, and graphics, as shown below.
4. Visual memory
You can write out a string of numbers, let the child read it again, and then cover the child to say it, at first the number of numbers can be a little less, as the child's ability continues to improve, and then gradually increase.
You can also pick out one of a few pictures and have your child look at it for a few seconds, then mix this picture with other pictures to have your child find the one just now.
You can also teach children to learn origami, let the child imitate the movements of your hand while memorizing, at first you can do a step to wait for the child, slowly can no longer pause, let the child quickly remember.
5. Find building blocks
Choose 4 different colors of jam paper, each color corresponding to collect 10 blocks of the same color.
For example, red paper corresponds to 10 red blocks.
Then, the 4 colors of jam paper are placed on the table, and the corresponding color of the building blocks are scattered and hidden in all corners of the room.
Let your child look for the blocks hidden in every corner according to the color of the cardboard.
Third, hand-eye coordination, fine movements
The coordination of hand-eye movements refers to the coordination of the fine movements of people in visual coordination, which is composed of the ability of small muscles to cooperate with the ability of perception.
The hands will change the direction and intensity of activity according to the perceptual information, which is the use of hand-eye coordination in life.
Children's hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills are poor
Writing homework is slow, the handwriting is crooked, there is no basic sense of norms, and it is often written under the horizontal grid line, and I love to span two blocks.
Often, I write out of line, out of line, and error.
5 sensory mini-games to improve hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills
1. Shoot balloons (4-6)
Training objectives: hand-eye coordination ability, movement planning ability.
Training Requirements:
Throw the balloon up, then take turns slapping the balloon upward with both hands, trying not to let the balloon fall to the ground.
Difficulty setting:
A Hands take turns clapping;
B Design simple "barricades" (such as toys or stools) on the ground and have children go around the barricades to shoot balloons.
2. Jump (3-5)
Purpose of training: To promote bilateral coordination and vestibular stimulation.
Place several trumpet hula hoops on the ground and ask your child to jump all the hoops with two or one foot.
A jump on both feet and bring the distance between the hula hoops closer;
B put the distance between the hula hoops a little farther;
C One-foot jump;
D Jump on one foot and jump all the laps in a row.
3. Dribble (4-5)
Training purpose: to train hand-eye coordination.
Let the child transport the ping-pong ball with a plastic racket, put one ping-pong ball on the racket at a time, and transport it to a large container with a distance of 2 meters. It is not possible to hold the ping-pong ball with the other hand.
A At the beginning, you can choose to use other non-circular small items to train the child and set the distance to be shorter;
After the child is skilled, he can try to use a large plastic or cloth ball;
C uses table tennis, and 3 of the 5 dribbles the ball passes without falling to the ground.
4. Plasticine
Purpose: Exercise of finger muscle strength, coordination of hands, auditory comprehension
Training requirements: full of hands to grasp the → pinch → rub → → → shoot → → shape, each step in the transition process needs to pay attention to, such as the initial intervention in a new content, the plasticine prepared for the child should be larger, so that the child to build self-confidence. At the same time, it is also necessary to explain to the child, such as when playing with the shape, tell the child what shape he has made, and what shape and color, etc., to explain to the child.
5. Origami
Purpose: The coordination of the hands, the flexibility of the fingers, the cultivation of imagination
Training method: The paper used in the early stage does not need to be fixed, but with the establishment of children's origami awareness, there are also requirements for paper, such as: rectangle, square, circle, etc. In the process of origami, the child is first demonstrated, and then the child is allowed to imitate. First, from a simple random fold → folded in half→ diagonal folding→ folding along the line → folded simple shape.
Fourth, limb coordination, motor ability
Proprioceception is called deep sensation, which refers to the sense of position, movement, and vibration from the muscles, tendons, joints, etc. For example, sitting in the car, close your eyes and you can feel the car starting.
In life and work, when our boxers are competing, the proprioception can tell our joints and muscles, what kind of work to do in what direction, how fast to reach what kind of position, and what kind of function to achieve. This is very important in the confrontational movement.
Most children with ontological disorders manifest as
When I go to physical education class, I don't jump rope, my movements are uncoordinated and inaccurate when I run; when I go to music class, I often don't pronounce my pronunciation correctly, even talk to people, and stutter when I speak in class.
Although these learning courses are not the main courses, they play a very important auxiliary and promotion role in the main courses, and they are bound to affect the learning of the main courses in the long run.
5 sensory mini-games to improve limb coordination and muscle control
