For us as parents, evaluating the development of our children must be very important, children's psychomotricity games are perfect for their growth.

You can play and interact with them while evaluating how they express themselves and generate movements. However, there are terms that you should know.

What is child psychomotricity?

This is the technique implemented so that the little ones in the house learn to dominate and coordinate motor activities. Control between your mind, body and expression of emotions.

Everything is based on the central nervous system and the priority will always be not to force the baby, but to stimulate their actions or movements.

Learning these movements is part of their development, however, if they do it with games, the adventure will be much more fun for them.

Children's psychomotricity games: The ones you can do from home

Depending on the age of the child, different games can be implemented, we can talk about: balance, circuits, relay, laterality, gross motor skills and more.

The passage of the bottles!

This game is about balance and can be played by children aged 4.5 and 6 years. You will only need about 5 bottles, a rope, and two boxes.

With the palm of his hand and good balance, the little one will pass the bottles from one box to another walking outlined by the rope. You can't get out of it, if the bottle falls, it will start from the beginning.

Simon says:

This game is one of the favorites in many children, and it is that following the voice of their leader or guide they will execute various movements and express authentic emotions.

You will only need to give an instruction and that is that they must do everything that Simon says (in this case you would be Simon). So the child can do various activities in a game nothing more. For example: Simon says that everyone stays in a single foot.

They will do so and wait for Simon's next instruction. In this way you can do races or exercises that stimulate your motor skills.

tiptoe backwards

It's just about making small races with the little ones, of course in safe spaces in a certain line. However, the difficulty is presented by being a race backwards and doing it on tiptoe.

Traditional and educational psychomotricity games

These are the most common games used by children during their initial school period. The use of memory games, puzzles or puzzles, games with plasticine and school materials bring many benefits to children at this stage.

In this room, with white or colored sheets we will draw a few footprints. We will also use other of the leaves to draw other things, in this way it gives a little difficulty.

The path of the footprints consists of placing the leaves interspersed so that the little one only travels through those that are footprints without touching the others. So until you reach the goal.
