Finger exercises. Exercises and games for the development of fine motor skills of the fingers Exercises for the fingers for the game

“I spend a lot of time at the computer. My hands began to go numb, I can hardly fall asleep, please advise what to do” (comment)

Unpleasant sensations in the hands are immediately transmitted to the brain, which can interfere with falling asleep and normal sleep, causing nightmares.

Gymnastics for the fingers does not take much time. It is effective for cramps, numbness, stiffness and pain in the hands, promotes blood flow and self-healing of the whole body.

Our hands are conductors of the central nervous system and the brain

Interesting fact:

the area of ​​the zone in the brain responsible for the cortical innervation (supplying nerves) of the fingers and hands significantly exceeds the total area of ​​the zones responsible for the innervation of the legs and torso. Which proves the importance of hands for the functioning of the whole body.

Arbitrary movements of fingers and hands are external manifestations of brain activity.

If the blood circulates poorly in his frontal lobes, the person's ability to voluntarily move his arms deteriorates. This relationship is two-way.

If there is a significant reduction in voluntary hand movements, the functioning of the frontal regions that regulate cognitive functions is disrupted:

• behavior,
• movement coordination,
• the ability to speak, think, show willpower, have intelligence, etc.

Hands - body control panel

When the embryo turns into an embryo (2-8 weeks), the cams of the future hands are formed in the cervical region.

What does it mean?

What muscle tissues hands are provided with nerves of the sympathetic nodes and plexuses of the neck, and through them are closely connected with all parts of the central nervous system and its main center, the brain, without exception.

It is this fact that explains such a powerful effect of the gymnastics of the fingers and hands. First, the functions in the hands themselves are restored, and then those organs that were associated with them in the embryonic period, the body control organs are restored: the thyroid and parathyroid glands, the thymus gland, the pituitary gland, etc.

Gymnastics for hands and fingers

We do 10-20 repetitions, trying to increase the number. Separate exercises alternate with relaxing shaking brushes.

1. Clenching your fingers into a fist, rotate them left and right.

2. We clench our fingers into fists, then straighten them, spreading them as much as possible to the sides.

What is the danger, what does numbness of the left or right hand mean, what to do and when to go to the doctor.

3. We bend and unbend the brushes up and down.

4. The fingers are straight, the big ones are set aside, we rotate them in one direction, and then in the other direction. We repeat rotations, clasping our fingers in the lock.

5. We place straight fingers to the sides. We bend all the fingers into fists alternately and fan-shaped, starting with the thumbs. We repeat the same thing, starting this time with the little finger.

6. Fingers clenched into fists. We unclench our fingers one at a time, while the rest remain clenched into a fist. Opposite action: fingers straight, bend them one at a time into fists, while keeping the remaining fingers straight.

7. Put your palms on flat surface, raise one finger at a time. Others lie still.

8. We rest with half-bent fingers on a flat surface, without touching it with our palms. We do it on 4 counts: 1 - we raise one bent finger, 2 - straighten it, 3 - bend it again, 4 - return it to its place.

Repeat for each individual finger.

9. Hands in front of you. Alternately bend the wrists, trying to reach the thumb to the forearm.

10. We grab the fingertips of the right hand with the left hand, sip slowly and with effort. We change hands.

11. Hands in front of you or above your head. We make counter-return movements, as if applauding, the amplitude is 20-30 centimeters.

The most important thing is the number of repetitions. We start with 30, then increase to 50, to 100, and bring it up to 1000 within a month.

The exercise is simple, but very effective for strengthening the muscles of the arms, shoulders and chest.

12. We hook the brushes into the lock, pressing our fingers. Straining the muscles, we try to “overcome” with one palm the other, changing the direction of efforts every second.

Doing it light exercise at every convenient moment. The first result is felt already after a week, after a while not only the hands, but also the muscles of the shoulders and chest will get stronger.

13. We press our palms and rub them strongly and quickly against each other.

14. A similar exercise can be done with a pencil or pen sandwiched between the palms.

15. We close our fingers into the lock, squeeze them with force.

16. We imitate playing the button accordion, piano.

17. We clasp the wrist of the left hand with the right hand and shake it strongly. We change hands.

18. We put the fingers of one hand on the fingers of the other, the palms do not touch. Without taking your fingers apart, we make springy movements with tension with them.

Let's complicate the task by turning the brushes towards the body.

It is also good to do before going to bed, already lying in bed, to get rid of the tension of the previous day.

19. Making a calm exhalation, we squeeze our fingers with effort into fists (thumb inside). Next, weaken the effort and take a breath. The effect will be greater if you close your eyes.

After gymnastics, we will shake our brushes well, rub our palms against each other, and lovingly stroke our brushes from the inside and back.

Recommendations of Alla Umanskaya (doctor, professor, academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences)

Whenever possible, pay attention to your hands, fingers, palms, wrists: rub them, knead them, stroke them.

Whatever work you do, after completing it, be sure to palpate the hands and each finger for pain. In particular, if the work was heavy (heavy weights were dragged) or monotonous (printing, writing, drawing, sewing).

If you find pain (numbness, tingling, discomfort), massage (beat, knead, squeeze, stretch) this place as often and thoroughly as possible until the pain subsides. For this purpose, it is good to use irritating oils, creams, tinctures.

While washing and drying your hands, massage each finger with a towel. Such fleeting gymnastics will give the fingers the flexibility and strength to perform the necessary daily work.

When preparing for bed, also don't forget about your hands: massage them and take a 5-10-minute bath. Baths and massage not only restore the functions of the hands, but also help to relax and fall asleep faster.

Eastern healers attach great importance to the flexibility of the fingers. According to it, they determine the degree of slagging of the whole organism. And as a cleansing offer a hand massage.

Alla Umanskaya created a wonderful method of strengthening immunity without drugs and vaccinations, with the help of her hands. It improves blood flow and starts self-recovery processes in the body.

Master it, it's effective and safe:

: why strengthen immunity, how viruses are transmitted from us to our grandchildren.

Zones, how to act, therapeutic effects.

Summary

Hands are connected with the most important functions of our body, such as correct coordinated movements, speech, thinking, will, intelligence.

With the help of hands, we can regulate our health. Gymnastics of the fingers and hands helps to restore and maintain not only the performance of the hands themselves, but also the controls of the whole body.

You need to pay attention to any violations of sensitivity in the fingers and hands and not be lazy to do simple exercises.
How often do gymnastics? At any opportunity!

Take care of yourself and your hands!

With the help of hands, a person performs a huge number of operations during the day. But most people, as a rule, do not pay the necessary attention to the health of their hands, and over time, the skin condition worsens, an unpleasant crunch appears in the joints. IN modern world a person spends a lot of time at the phone or computers, nerves are pinched, and this is accompanied by a rather unpleasant tingling sensation.

In some professions, the health and mobility of the hands and fingers is especially important (for example, musicians and artists). Gymnastics is a good prevention against all kinds of diseases associated with ligaments and joints.

Children using such hand exercises significantly improve their mental abilities, develop coordination of movements. Gymnastics of the hands allows you to remove the accumulated tension and significantly increase your performance. It will not take you much time, but it will be invaluable in the future.

Indications and contraindications

1. With fatigue arising from monotonous work.
2. Until the next long work in which you need to perform precise hand movements.
3. With some diseases of the hands and fingers (arthrosis, arthritis).
4. For the prevention of such diseases as: carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, arthrosis, etc.
5. To restore the mobility of the hands and joints.
6. To slow down the irreversible aging process.
7. To increase the elasticity of cartilage.
8. To normalize the blood circulation of the hands and fingers.

It is not recommended to perform exercises that cause you severe pain symptoms. It is better to get advice from a specialist and choose exercises that are comfortable for you, as there is a huge risk of aggravating the current situation.

Massage

With a massage, you prepare your hands for physical activity and improve circulation. Exercises must be performed regularly (preferably 2-3 times during the day) and be sure to use both hands. Before starting the massage, apply a little oil or cream to the skin.

• Using alternating circular motions massage your fingers.
• One hand is located on the table, and with the other hand, gently stretch the skin by stroking.
• Rotate your hands, if possible, eliminate any tension that arises.
• Use simulated handwashing for a massage.
• Stretch your fingers forward from you, folding them into the lock. Main element this preparatory exercise stretching.

It is not recommended to perform this complex if you have small cracks on the skin of your hands or some diseases (for example, a fungus). Performing such a massage regularly, you maintain the health of your joints and maintain the beauty of your hands.

Charger

To relieve the accumulated tension in the hands, the following set of effective exercises is perfect:

1. Clench your fingers into a fist and rotate with your hands (about 15 repetitions is enough).
2. The hand is clenched into a fist for 4 seconds, after which it completely relaxes (perform about 10 repetitions).
3. In the third exercise, the brush is pulled first towards you, and then away from you (also do 10 times).

6. Use alternating circular motions of your fingers. It is very important to achieve maximum relaxation of the hands.

These seemingly elementary exercises are considered an excellent prevention of various diseases and quickly relieve increased fatigue after a busy day at work.

Arm Strengthening Exercises

People who have just started to play sports, for sure, have difficulties when working with heavy weights. Strong hands are very important when working with a barbell, dumbbells and horizontal bars (for any work with weights). The exercises below are aimed at strengthening the arms and developing their mobility well.

• Do a smooth bending of the brushes. The place of bending will be wrist joint. Up and down movement (for greater efficiency, do this exercise with dumbbells or a barbell).
• It is necessary to connect the elbows and palms on a hard surface. Then slowly spread your elbows and lower your palms as low as possible.
• Hold the palm of your other hand and begin to bend it at the wrist joint.
• Place your palm on an edge on a hard surface. Now alternately bend your fingers, applying considerable effort (just do not overdo it).
• Press your palms together. Then bend the fingers of one hand, creating resistance with the other.

Exercises and games for the development of fine motor skills of the fingers.

1. Straighten the brush, tightly close your fingers and slowly squeeze them into a fist. Perform alternately with each hand.

2. Put your hand firmly on the table with your palm down and alternately bend your fingers: middle, index, thumb, little finger, ring finger. Perform alternately with each hand.

3. Straighten the brush and alternately attach the ring finger to the little finger, the middle finger to the index finger.

4. Clench your fingers into a fist and rotate the brush in different directions. First, alternately with each hand. Then - with both hands at the same time.

6. Put your hands palms up. The child raises one finger at a time, first on one hand, then on the other. Repeat this exercise in reverse order.

7. The palms are on the table. The child alternately raises the fingers of both hands at once, starting with the little finger.

8. The child pinches the pencil with the middle and forefinger. Flexes and unbends these fingers.

9. Put ten to fifteen pencils or sticks on the table. The child tries to collect all the pencils (sticks) with one hand. In this case, you cannot help with the other hand and you should try to take pencils one at a time. Instead of pencils, invite your child to collect buttons, peas, and other small details.

10. The child pinches the pencil between the middle and index fingers. Then he performs movements so that first the middle finger is on top, and then the index finger.

11. Give the child two small balls or two walnuts and ask him to roll them between his palms (fingers straight) in one direction and the other.

Now let the child try to roll them with the fingers of one hand, rotating it in one direction or the other.

12. Show your child this exercise: quickly touch the thumb with your fingertips. In one direction, starting with the little finger, and in the other direction - from the index finger. On one hand, on the other, on both at once.

13. The child repeats after you various finger movements:

a) raise your hands up, straighten your fingers, cross your index and middle fingers;

b) and now the ring finger and little finger are crossed;

c) make rings: from index and large, from medium and large, etc.;

d) name any number from 1 to 10, and the child quickly "throws out" the corresponding number of fingers.

14. Thumb and forefinger of the left hand in the ring. Rings from the fingers of the right hand are alternately passed through it: large - index, large - middle, etc. This exercise can be varied by changing the position of the fingers. All fingers are involved in this exercise.

Complex No. 2 (pictorial).

Ask the child to find in each picture a drawing similar to the sample, and as accurately as possible outline the outline of a similar drawing without lifting the pencil from the paper.

Sample:

Exercise:

Complex No. 3 (Games for the development of fine motor skills of fingers)

Scallop game.

Lock your fingers in the lock. The ends of the fingers of the right hand press on upper part the back of the palm of the left hand, bending it so that the fingers of the left hand stand up like a cockscomb.

Then the fingers of the left hand are pressed on the back of the right hand - and the fingers of the right hand turn into a cockscomb.

The game "The cat releases claws."

Press the fingertips to the top of the palm.

Then quickly straighten and spread your fingers.

Game "Ladder".

The nail of the thumb of the left hand rests on the pad of the thumb of the right hand - the first two steps are ready. The tip of the index right finger lies on the thumb of the left hand, on it - the index left - two more steps are ready.

The tips of all fingers alternately lie on top of each other, the little fingers are the last. Here is the staircase.

Run game.

The index and middle fingers are straightened, the remaining fingers are pressed to the palm. Rearranging his fingers, the little man runs to the opposite edge of the table.

The same exercise for the index and ring fingers.

The game "Fast spin".

Interlock your fingers into the lock (only the thumbs are not interlocked). do with thumbs rotational movements around each other, faster and faster.

Game "Rings".

Put the tip of the little finger on the tip of the thumb - this is a small ring. Then a new ring: the tips of the nameless and thumb; medium and large, and finally - index and large - this is a large ring. Repeat everything on the other hand.

Paper, scissors, stone game.

Play with your child. To the beat of the words "paper, scissors, stone," shake your hands clenched into a fist.

The child does the same. Then you stop at one of three words: if this is the word "paper", then you should straighten your fingers (they are tightly pressed against each other), if this is the word "stone", then the hand is clenched into a fist, if the word is "scissors", then everything fingers are pressed to the palm, and the index and middle fingers are straightened and spread apart like scissors.

paper stone scissors

When the child masters this game, switch roles with him.

Game "Sun, fence, pebbles".

Raise your hands up, the fingers of both hands are straightened and widely separated - this is the "sun".

Now press your fingers tightly against each other and straighten - this is a "fence".

Clench both hands into fists - these are "pebbles".

At your command: “Sun”, “Fence”, “Pebbles”, a child (a group of children) shows with his fingers: the sun with spread fingers, a fence with straight fingers or pebbles - fists. At first, this exercise is performed at a slow pace, then faster and faster. To complete this task, the child must be extremely attentive.

As the child masters the exercises, introduce more complex elements: change the sequence, the speed of pronouncing command words.

Castle game.

A lock hangs on the door (fingers are intertwined, clinging to the lock)

Who could open it?

Pulled, (elbows diverge to the sides, fingers remain intertwined

Twisted, (hands spinning in different sides without disengaging fingers)

They knocked (the bases of the palms tap on each other)

And they opened it! (fingers straighten, arms diverge in different directions).

Match game.

Lay four matches (two matches parallel to each other, two matches on top perpendicular to them) so that you get a square. The child joins the game and also carefully places his matches on top. So the well gradually grows.

Exercise "Guess who I am."

The child is offered to determine by dots what is drawn: "At these points, someone or something is hidden, trace the outline of each drawing by dots and you will recognize it." Do not take your hand off the paper.

Draw point by point the same way. different figures: animals, flowers, vegetables, fruits, dishes, furniture, cars (so that it is not too difficult, you can circle without taking your hands off, and is familiar to a child of six years).

Game "Airplanes behind the clouds".

This game teaches the child how to use a pencil and make the right pressure. It requires paper and a fairly soft pencil.

You draw several planes, and two of them have clouds around them. You say to the child: "Look, what different clouds - one is completely black and the plane behind it is not visible at all, and the other is light and the plane is clearly visible." The child will draw dark and light clouds around other planes himself. Instead of airplanes, boats on the waves can be drawn, a person in pouring rain and drizzling, a house at night, a house in the evening.

An exercise to develop the ability to differentiate the efforts of the hands.

Show the child a drawing that has a sample - three geometric shapes (triangle, circle, square). Each of these three figures is shaded differently: the triangle is very strongly (with a lot of pencil pressure), the circle is hatched with medium strength, and the square is shaded lightly. The task is to ensure that the degree of shading of each figure corresponds to the samples. Give the child a simple soft pencil and ask him to complete this task as accurately and accurately as possible. Start with one or two lines.

If the child is slow, then this exercise can be done for a while.

Game "I'm the most accurate."

The child should draw lines with a pencil without taking his hands off the paper.

1. Quickly run through the maze.

2. Find a way out of the cave (first go one way and then the other).

Fanfiction game.

Make candy wrappers out of candy wrappers. Teach your toddler how to fold wrappers.

Put the candy wrapper on your thumbnail and flick it on your index finger to send it flying.

Put the candy wrapper on the nail of your index finger and flick the thumb to send it flying, and so on for each finger.

Many exercises from other sections also develop fine motor skills of the hands, especially for those tasks in which the child draws lines, draws, sketches various shapes, etc.

In this video I will give you some finger stretching exercises and one exercise for the development of finger motor skills.

Now you are trying to play chords where you need a good stretch of your fingers. Your fingers are probably trembling, you can’t reach the right frets on the guitar and all this is very annoying - isn’t it?

Everyone goes through this. These exercises will help you get through this stage. much faster.

Let's start with stretching! First you need to warm up your hands. Close your hands and rub vigorously together (as you do in winter to keep warm). Next, imitate washing your hands (how you lather your hands) - all this warms your hands and fingers well.

Exercise!

Stretch every day. Before stretching, do not forget to do warm-up exercises.

For every exercise take 2-3 minutes- you don’t need to fanatically engage in “hours” - you will injure your fingers and you won’t be able to play the guitar for a long time.

We talked about not very difficult exercises for beginners, which were designed to develop skill, coordination and understanding of how to control the bar. The examples given below are much more specific, and are largely aimed at practicing various techniques. guitar playing. However, all of them will be useful both in private and general moments.

Development Workouts playing techniques must be performed in strict accordance with the text of the task, as well as under the beat of the metronome. This is important for the development of not only physical technology, but also smooth playing and a sense of rhythm. Start as usual with slow pace, and gradually increase it. Do not forget to perform the exercises in a complex way - that is, in a row, especially if they are similar in technical performance.

Guitar workouts

Pull-Off and Hammer-On

Let's start with one of the main technical concepts and ways of playing that literally every guitarist should master. The legato technique will allow you to significantly diversify your playing, as well as allow you to greatly speed up the performance of guitar solo parts. This is especially true for fans of the electric guitar, since many parts on it are performed precisely with the help of legato. Without mastering it, you will not be able to play the sweep, as well as perform various turntables and beautiful solo passages.

First reception

So, the legato technique is performed as follows: you pinch the string with your finger at any fret. Pull it with a pick - and it will sound. Now with the other finger, without releasing the sounding fret, hold down the other, but do not hit the string with the plectrum. Please note that the note that you pressed even without hitting will now sound. This approach is called. The main snag is to pick up enough force to hit the string with your finger - it should sound as even as if it was hit with a pick. However, this will come with experience and practice. It is worth saying that you can perform this technique with several fingers at once - you just need to clamp the frets in a row.

Second reception

But that was only the first part of the legato. The second looks like this: With one finger, hold the string at any fret. Put the second on the same string, but in a different fret. For example, put the index on the fifth, and the nameless on the seventh. Pull the pick - a higher note will sound. Now, without a name, make a sliding movement down, perpendicular to the string, as if pulling it with your finger - so that the fret on which the index is located sounds, while the sound was without the use of a mediator.It's Pull Off. The main difficulty lies in pulling only one string with your finger without touching the rest.

Now combine both of these drawings - and you get the same legato technique that we are talking about.

Tabs exercises

Now about the exercise. It is similar to the standard guitar finger warm-up from the first part of our cycle. Play the sixth string at the first fret. Hit her. Now, with the help of the Hammer-On technique, make the third and then the fourth frets alternately sound - and thus go down the strings. It looks like this:

When you reach the first string, place your index finger on the second fret, the fourth fret with your ring finger, and the fifth fret with your little finger. Now with the Pull-Off technique, make them sound in turn, and so work your way up all the strings.

Try to do this exercise in a complex, and several times in a row.

Playing an arpeggio

Arpeggio- this is one of the ways to play chords on various instruments, when all the sounds of the triad follow each other in ascending or descending sequence. The method is most often used in various, and this guitar training is primarily aimed at developing this particular way of playing . It consists in simply playing the open strings on the guitar one at a time at an even tempo. It looks like this:

If you want to complicate your task, try clamping individual additional strings and chords in parallel with the game:

"Snake Movement" for guitar finger development

Another scheme aimed at the development of fingers on the guitar. It can also help you learn different , and it doesn't matter how you play it - with your fingers or with a plectrum. The task is to evenly sequentially strum two adjacent strings, while clamping adjacent frets. It is simple and looks like this:

The movement back goes in a mirror order, as you can already understand:

Exercise "Spider" on the guitar #1

A small modification of the "Snake Movement". The main difference is that if in the first case we moved within two strings, thenmakes a passage through all the strings in turn, with a descent down. The task is that you also go through two adjacent frets - in this case 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, clamping them on different strings, starting from the first fret on the sixth and the second on the fifth. In this case, after the pattern is played, you go down one string. It looks like this:

As soon as you get to the first one, you start moving back and play the notes in a mirror order, like this:

Spider Exercise #2

This guitar practice is also called the "Spider Dance". This is an even more complicated version of the previous two tasks. It consists in playing two notes successively on each string, going through one, and gradually descending down the strings. That is, on the sixth, hold down the first fret and play it, then the third, and also hit with a pick. Next, on the fifth, hold down the second - play, then - the fourth, and play, and so on. It looks like this:

When moving back, you start playing at the fifth fret, in mirror order along the frets.

Practical training The Snake Move, Spider Move, and Spider Dance are designed to develop coordination and are a great way to warm up your arms before a game. If you need to perform soon, then just do a set of these exercises a couple of times - your fingers will immediately warm up, and it will become easier for you to play.

Playing the chords

This task is more of a practice of improvisation, as well as the ability to pinch chords and barre. The exercise is as follows - you choose a few favorite chords for yourself, and start playing them. Try to do it smoothly, you can bust, you can fight - it doesn't matter. As you play the sequence, modulate it - change the notes in the chord, loosen some strings and watch the sound change. Transpose them and actively use the barre - especially good if after another finger and guitar exercises warmed up, then it becomes much easier to train.

Chord examples:

• Em-C-G-D
• Am-F-G-E
• Am-G-F-E
• Am-Dm-E-Am

Guitar practice in "Two Octaves"

In order to correctly execute this scheme, you must first understand . The task was created specifically for practicing this playing technique, but in addition, it gives you the basics for polyrhythm and finger desynchronization - for more interesting game. The exercise consists in the fact that you simultaneously play the same repeating bass note and melodic texture within two octaves of the same key - this is where the name of the task comes from! It looks like this:

Looks quite difficult, but after some time of practice, the exercise becomes very simple and interesting.

Guitar finger warm-up

These examples of warm-ups won't involve the guitar in any way, rather they are just meant to stretch your fingers just before playing:

1. Squeeze and unclench your fingers several times at a fast pace. This will stretch the muscles and joints, and also disperse the blood.

2. Squeeze your hands into the lock and then stretch them out without opening your fingers, palms forward. You may hear a characteristic crunch in the joints - this is normal and means that they are warming up.

3. Twirl a rounded object in your hand, such as a tennis ball or a walnut. This will stretch your fingers and make them more flexible and obedient.

Guitar hand-finger coordination

This complex will also not involve the guitar.

Under the metronome, start tapping the table with the palm of your left hand, hitting the beat. With your right hand, start drawing circles on the table. After doing this, switch hands.

Again, under the metronome with both hands, simultaneously begin to draw a square on the table - first synchronously, and then asynchronously.

Touch each finger of one hand to the thumb. The other hand at this time does the same, however, each finger touches the thumb twice at once.

Make it harder for yourself - and on each hand touch different fingers for big. For example, if on the left the little finger touched him, then on the right - the nameless one, and so on.

At the same time, bend your fingers at the central knuckle so that all the others do not bend.

Place the index finger of the right hand on the thumb of the left and vice versa. You should get a sort of "eight" of the fingers, while on right hand fingers will be crossed. Now smoothly change the position - the left fingers should be crossed. Accelerate gradually.

Finger training without guitar

Try to practice every day, and for one training run, at least once, run through all the guitar exercises. Do them in a complex, and preferably at the same pace. Start with a small number of beats per minute and gradually build them up. Don't try to play fast right away - rather concentrate on the purity of your playing and sound production.
