“Healthy and chubby like a piglet” – that’s how our grandparents used to praise healthy, plump children. And for children to have good health and flexibility, morning exercise is an indispensable activity. Morning exercises for preschoolers not only help them develop physically but also train their spirit, creating a solid foundation for comprehensive development. Right after this introduction, let’s learn more about the benefits of morning exercises for preschoolers.
The Importance of Morning Exercises
Morning exercise is like a “tonic” for preschoolers. It helps children strengthen their resistance, prevent diseases, develop height and weight, and improve the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Moreover, regular exercise also helps children develop discipline, concentration, and motor coordination. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a leading early childhood education expert, once shared in her book “Raising Healthy Preschoolers”: “Morning exercise is a necessary activity to help children develop comprehensively both physically and mentally.”
Suitable Morning Exercises for Preschoolers
So, what exercises are suitable for preschoolers? We need to choose exercises that are simple, easy to perform, fun, and game-like. Some popular exercises include joint warm-ups, running in place, clapping hands, twisting, and jumping… Folk beliefs suggest that exercising in the morning helps to receive positive energy from the sun, helping children “catch the sky’s fortune.”
Warm-up Exercises
- Rotate wrists, ankles, and knees.
- Stretch and extend arms and legs.
Physical Development Exercises
- Running in place.
- Jumping jacks.
- Hand clapping.
The universalization of preschool education is increasingly emphasized, and morning exercise is an indispensable part of the curriculum. I remember once witnessing a shy little girl who, after persistently doing morning exercises with her friends, became much more active and confident. That is clear evidence of the wonderful benefits of morning exercise for children’s development. Mr. Pham Van Tuan, principal of a preschool in Hanoi, also affirmed: “Morning exercise helps children develop self-confidence and the ability to integrate into the community.”
Some Notes When Organizing Morning Exercises for Children
To achieve the best results, keep in mind the following points:
- Exercise time should be from 15-20 minutes, not too long.
- Exercise space must be airy and clean.
- Children’s clothes must be comfortable and suitable for exercise activities.
- Guidance from teachers or adults is necessary.
Installing cameras in preschools also helps parents feel more secure when their children participate in activities, including morning exercises.
