Quite often, parents are faced with the problem of insufficient attention of children, which makes it very difficult for the child to study at school, since he cannot concentrate on one lesson for a long time.
However, it is worth considering the fact that only with regular classes will it be possible to achieve the desired result and teach the child to concentrate his own attention on a particular activity. Today there are quite a large number of a wide variety of exercises.
Exercise No. 1
This exercise is very effective and makes it possible to get the desired result in a fairly short period of time. This exercise is called “Favorite Fruit”.
The presenter, in this case the parents, must create the right atmosphere and mood for the upcoming lesson. Thanks to this exercise, there is an excellent opportunity to develop not only attention, but also memory, to teach the child to concentrate for a long time on one activity.
It is advisable to carry out this exercise in a group, and for this you can gather all family members or friends of the child in the living room. So, after the group for classes has been completely formed, each of the participants must name out loud some of their favorite fruits, then the second participant says the name of the first and his favorite fruit, after which he says his name, and then his favorite fruit.
The third participant will have to repeat the name of the first and his favorite fruit, the name of the second and the fruit, and then his name and favorite fruit. The rest of the participants also work according to this scheme. The last participant will have to name the names and favorite fruits of all previous participants.
Exercise No. 2
This exercise promotes concentration and will also teach the child to properly distribute his own attention so as not to be distracted during classes. Professional psychologists recommend using the following exercise - you need to count out loud from 1 to 31. However, the child must skip numbers that contain three or are multiples of three, and instead of these numbers he says out loud “I won’t get it wrong” and so on.
Exercise No. 3
This exercise is aimed directly at developing a child’s visual attention, and it can be used not only with schoolchildren, but also with children older younger age. The main condition is that parents must regularly study with their children, because only in this case is it possible to teach the child to concentrate correctly and during classes at school it will be much easier for children to concentrate on the lesson and not be distracted during lessons by various trifles.
The child should be asked to reproduce from his own memory the courtyard of his own house or the playground in front of the school (if the exercise is used to develop attention in school-aged children), the road to school or home.
That is, the child must try to reproduce what he has seen many times, and he must clarify as many small details as possible. This activity will be very fun if done in a group, but at the same time the children should describe the same situations so that they can fill in the missing details - for example, the narrator missed some little thing, and a group member reminded it.
Children really like such attention exercises for schoolchildren and resemble a fun and exciting game.
Exercise #4
Thanks to regular use of this exercise, the child learns to concentrate his own attention. So, in order to carry out such an exercise, you need to take care of a special board, on which you need to draw a special playing field of nine cells in advance, before the start of classes, and each cell should be approximately 3x3 centimeters. You will also need a relatively small suction cup. If it is not possible to use such a suction cup, then you can replace it with simple plasticine; you need to take a very small piece.
Next, you need to take this board and place it strictly vertically, after which the leader of the lesson must explain to all participants that this suction cup (plasticine) will move from one square to another after receiving a command. You can give one of four commands - down, left, up, right. The suction cup moves after the received command to one of the neighboring cells.
The starting position of the suction cup (plasticine) is the central cell on the board. Commands must be given by one of the participants in the exercise; all commands are given in turn by each participant. Each player must carefully monitor how the suction cup (plasticine) moves across the board, and it is important not to allow it to go beyond the drawn playing field.
After all the rules of this educational game are clear to all participants, you can proceed directly to the game itself. You need to play on an imaginary field that each participant imagines for himself.
If one of the participants has missed the point of the game, and the suction cup goes beyond the edges of the playing floor, then he must give the command “stop”, after which the suction cup returns to the central square and the game starts over. This game requires constant attention and control of the game from all participants, thanks to which the child begins to learn to concentrate on one activity.
Exercise #5
This unique exercise contributes to the good development of concentration in the child, and also helps to develop attention and perseverance, which is often lacking in young children, because they cannot do one thing for a very long time and it is difficult for them to concentrate in school.
To do this exercise, you will need to gather a small group to practice (this could include school friends or family members). One of the participants should become the so-called “receiver”, and the remaining participants in the lesson will act as “transmitters”. It is the “transmitters” who must count out loud, starting from the most different numbers, and you can count in any direction.
The task of the “receiver” at the moment is that he must hold a kind of rod in his hands and at first just listen. Now he must try to tune in to each of the “transmitters” in turn. In the event that one of the “transmitters” is inaudible to him, then with the help of a gesture he can simply be forced to speak a little louder.
Also, if the sound of the “transmitter” is too loud, then you can use the same wand to turn down the sound a little. After the “receiver” has worked for some time, the rod is transferred to one of the “transmitters”, so during the game the rod will have to be visited by each participant in the game.
During the game, the child will have to concentrate on each of the “transmitters” and listen first to one participant, and then to the other - he will have to hear everyone.
Exercise #6
This exercise helps to perfectly develop the ability to develop switching of attention, as well as the arbitrariness of performing movements. Just like the previous exercises, this should be done in a group. So, the group becomes a semicircle or sits on the floor, after which the leader must name the objects. If the named object can fly, then the children should raise their hands up, and if the object does not fly, then the children’s hands should be down.
It is advisable that the presenter constantly makes mistakes, so that the children will listen more carefully to the information they hear. Many children simply raise their hands without listening to the presenter, for which they should receive penalty points.
Exercise No. 7
The following exercise provides an excellent opportunity for children to concentrate on specific work and also develop memory.
You need to gather a small group of children (family members are also great), after which each participant in the game takes turns saying their name, as well as their date of birth. The second participant in the exercises says the name and date of birth of the first, and then says his own name and date of birth.
All group members work according to this scheme. This exercise is similar to a game called “My Favorite Fruit.” The main thing is that the last participant pronounces correctly not only the names, but also the dates of birth of all previous participants, strictly in the order in which they were pronounced.
Exercise #8
This exercise helps the child develop stability of attention. So, while performing this exercise, all participants should sit in a circle, and hands should be placed on the neighbor’s knees - the right hand should be on the neighbor’s left leg, and the left palm on the right knee. The basis of such an educational game is that all participants must take turns raising their palms, therefore, a kind of wave should be created from children’s hands.
First, a short training session is carried out, during which each participant must carefully monitor the flow of the game and only raise their palms during their turn. After completing the training, you can proceed directly to the game process. If during the game the palm is raised at the wrong time, it means that one participant is eliminated from the game. Children really like this educational game, but it is best to play it in a large enough company so that the children are interested in following the development of the game.
Provided that all the previous exercises are regularly performed, children will develop the habit of concentrating on one activity or another, which will make studying at school much easier.

Psycho-gymnastics
In the mirror store
Goal: development of observation, attention, memory. Creating a positive emotional background. Forming a sense of confidence, as well as the ability to obey the requirements of another person. Description. The adult (and then the child) shows movements that all players must repeat exactly after him.
Instructions: “Now I will tell you a story about a monkey. Imagine that you are in a store where there are a lot of large mirrors. A man came in with a monkey on his shoulder. She saw herself in the mirrors and thought they were other monkeys and began making faces at them. The monkeys responded by making exactly the same faces at her. She shook her fist at them, and they threatened her from the mirrors. She stamped her foot and all the monkeys stamped. Whatever the monkey did, everyone else exactly repeated its movements. Let's start playing. I will be the monkey, and you will be the mirrors.”

After all the children raise their left hand, they begin to raise their right hand again, one after another.
"Gawkers" (25 min.)
Purpose of the game: Development of volitional (voluntary) attention.
Game procedure Children walk in a circle, one after another, holding hands. At the leader’s signal (“Stop!”), they stop, make four claps, turn 180 degrees and begin moving in the other direction. The direction changes after each signal.
If the child gets confused and makes a mistake, he leaves the game and sits on a chair. The game may end when 2-3 children remain in the game. They are solemnly declared the winners, everyone claps.
"Letters of the alphabet" ( 25 min for children who know letters)
Purpose of the game: Development of attention.
Game procedure. Each child is assigned a specific letter of the alphabet. The presenter names the letter, the child to whom the letter is assigned gives one clap.
"Four Elements" (25 min.)
Purpose of the game. Development of attention associated with the coordination of auditory and motor analysis.
Game procedure. Children sit on chairs and, at the command of the leader, perform a certain movement with their hands. Command "Earth" - children lower their hands down.
“Water” - children stretch their arms forward. “Air” - children raise their hands up. “Fire” - children rotate their arms at the elbow and wrist joints.
Games aimed at developing auditory attention
What do you hear?
Equipment: objects that make sounds familiar to children; screen.
Description. The presenter invites the children to listen and remember what
happens behind a door or screen. Then he asks to tell what they
heard. The winner is the one who identifies the sound sources more and more accurately.
Goal: development of auditory attention, formation of the ability to recognize each other by voice.
Equipment: scarf or blindfold.
Description. Standing in a circle, children choose a driver who, being in
in the center of the circle, blindfolded, tries to recognize the children by their voices.
Instructions: “Now we will play an interesting game “Find out by
voice." To do this, you need to stand in a circle and choose a driver who, blindfolded, will carefully listen to the voices of the players. The one to whom I give the sign will say any word in his own voice. The driver must guess the player by voice. If he guesses the player, he must change places with him: the player becomes the driver, and the driver becomes the player. If he doesn’t guess correctly, he continues to be the driver until he recognizes the next player by the voice. Let's start the game."
Goal: development of auditory attention.
Equipment: a large circle drawn in advance on the floor, a scarf for
blindfolding.
Description. Running in a circle, children follow the adult’s commands. The selected driver, standing with his back to the children, guesses by the voice of the one who called him by name. If you guess correctly, the driver changes places with the one who called him by name.
Instructions: “Now we will play an interesting game. We will choose one of the players as the driver. At my command “Run!” you will run around the site. To the words: “One, two, three, run in a circle!” - all the players gather in a circle, and the driver stands with his back to the circle, blindfolded, and listens carefully. The children standing in a circle say: “Guess the riddle: find out who called you.”
At the end of these words, the one of you to whom I give a sign will call the driver by name. The driver must guess who called him. If the driver guesses correctly, he changes places with the child who named him. If the driver does not recognize the voice, then I will suggest that he recognize it by the voice of another child.”
Be careful!
Goal: stimulation of attention, development of reaction speed. Equipment: tape or gramophone recording of S. Prokofiev’s “March”. Description. Each child must perform movements in accordance with the adult’s commands: “bunnies” - jump; “horses” - hit the “hoof on the floor”; “crayfish” - back away; “birds” - run with arms outstretched; “stork” - stand on one leg.

When I say "bunnies", everyone should jump in a circle like bunnies. When I say “horses,” everyone must show how the horses hit their hoofs. When I say “crayfish,” everyone should show the crayfish moving backwards. When I say “birds,” the players should turn into birds and run in a circle, spreading their arms to the sides like wings. When I say “stork”, everyone should instantly turn into storks and stand on one leg. Well, when I say “children,” everyone should become children. Let's start playing."Broken phone
Goal: development of auditory attention.
Description. Children sit in a row or in a circle. The presenter says a word quietly (in the ear) of the player sitting next to him, who passes it on to the next one, etc. The word must reach the last player. The presenter asks the latter: “What word did you hear?” If he says the word suggested by the presenter, then the phone is working. If the word is wrong, the driver asks everyone in turn (starting from the last) what word they heard. This is how they find out which player made a mistake, “damaged the phone.” The “offender” takes the place of the last player.
Instructions: “Now we will play “Broken Phone.” Sit down
circle on the carpet so that you are comfortable. The first player to report quietly
speak a word into the ear of the player sitting next to you. The player who learned from
leading the word, passes this heard word (quietly in the ear) to the next
to the player. The word, as if through a telephone wire, must reach the last
player. The presenter asks the latter: “What word did you hear?” That
calls him. If the word coincides with the one that was invented and named
presenter, it means the phone is working. If it doesn't match, then the phone is damaged.
In this case, in turn, starting from the end of the row, everyone must name
the word he heard. This is how they find out which player messed up - “messed up”
telephone". The “offending” player takes the place of the last one. Let's
Let's play."

together, toes to the sides, hands between legs on the floor); three claps -
resume walking.
Instructions: “Now we will play an interesting game “Listen to the claps!” All players will have to walk in a circle one after another and listen carefully to my commands. When I clap my hands once, everyone must stop and take the “stork” pose (demonstration of the pose). If I clap my hands twice, everyone must stop and take the frog pose (demonstration). When
I will clap my hands three times, you need to resume walking one after another in a circle. Let's start playing."

Task No. 2.
Goal: formation of attention switching in children.
Time spending: 5-7 minutes.
Instructions: Students work in a workbook.
Option 1. Fill in the blanks to make a sentence. To do this, solve examples. Replace number answers with words. Insert the first letters of these words instead of dashes. The number 1 can be replaced with the word “one” (0) and “one” (E). The number of the example block corresponds to the number of the word in the sentence.
Example: ---AND
Answer: CHILDREN, since 18-8=10 (D); 22:22=1(E); 18:6=3(T).
IR - - - I - - LV - - - - - -U - I - b - I - - - I - U -.
1. 10:5= 2. 7+8= 4. 25:5=
9-8= 3. 24:2= 12:4=

6. 1-1= 9+8= 27:9= 10x3= 20-7=
Option 2. Insert the missing letters instead of the dashes to form words. But first solve the examples, and in the answer, instead of the number, write down the first letter of the word denoting this number. Keep in mind that 1 is both “one” and “one” and “one”.
Example: - - - UH
We insert the resulting letters instead of the gaps and get the word COCK.
64:8= - - - - 8+8=
5x4=
b 4x4= - - A - - b - 49:7=
The task is carried out at the beginning of the lesson in the form of mental calculation. The task is gradually becoming more difficult.

Let's try to count as quickly as possible. During the counting process, you will need to comply with one condition: if you have to name a number that includes the number 6 (for example: 16), then, while pronouncing this number, you will have to stand up (you can complicate the exercise by replacing standing up with a clap without saying the number ).
If one of us makes a mistake, he is eliminated from the game, but at the same time watches the progress of the game. We all have to be very careful and remember who is out and who is still playing."
The game is played at the beginning of the lesson as a warm-up.

Task No. 10.
Goal: development of concentration and stability of attention.
Instructions: The exercise is performed sitting in a circle or the group stands in a circle. “Let each of you come up with a movement and demonstrate it to everyone in turn. At the same time, we will be attentive and try to remember everyone’s movements.” The group completes this part of the task.
“Now that we have all memorized each other’s movements, let’s proceed to the exercise itself. The one who starts first performs his own movement, and then the movement of one of us to whom he wants to pass the move. You all need to be very careful so as not to miss the moment when your own movement is completed and the right to move passes to you. The one to whom the move is passed will have to make his own movement and pass the move on.
Please note one limitation: you cannot pass the move back, i.e. to the one who just handed it to you."

Yuri Okunev SchoolHello friends. Yuri Okunev is with you.
A question from life. Your child comes home from school, does his homework, and brings it to you for inspection. And then you discover that:
- The solved problem is missing something - two actions, three numbers and one answer. You look at the draft, you see an exemplary correct solution, everything seems to be in place;
- The grades in the notebook have a certain geometric pattern: after a three comes a five, after a five comes a three (as an option: after a two comes a five, and so on).
Is the situation familiar? Those who said “no” can only be envied. We'll discuss it with the others today effective method combating the problem: exercises for developing the attention of younger schoolchildren.
In the first grade, our fidget still cannot gather his will into a fist and work.
Well, how can you get ready if a fat fly is crawling along the windowsill, and the neighbor in front of you has a big white bow that you just want to pull! But you have to work: if you don’t understand the material, you’ll get a bad grade in your diary, or a “cloud with rain.”
A 7-8 year old child is characterized by instability of attention and rapid fatigue. He is not able to do one thing for more than 30-35 minutes, and is often distracted by trifles. The more monotonous the activity, the more difficult it is for a first-grader. It’s easier to solve the problem with an asterisk, but it’s an interesting one. It is also difficult to switch from one type of activity to another. Let's say, solve a problem and say its solution out loud.
By the end of the study period primary school voluntary attention and the habit of working for a long time and with full dedication must be developed, that is, stability of attention. I foresee someone’s sigh of relief: well, the child will grow up and come to his senses, he will get straight A’s. Don’t hope that everything will come “on its own.” He won’t come, and there will be no freebies! No teacher will do your job!
Everything comes with practice
Using the tasks given in this article to develop attention in primary schoolchildren, you will achieve visible results after just a month of systematic training. Practice for half an hour a day, sticking to a specific schedule, be demanding but patient.
- Conduct the lesson in a playful way;
- Praise your child, notice his every achievement;
- Alternate tasks, thereby stimulating interest;
- Set a specific task and achieve it.
Exercises for training attention are divided into 3 sections.
Concentration of attention
Concentration is the ability of a student to fully concentrate on solving a problem.
- "Aboriginal Letter" A card with a set of letters of the Russian alphabet is laid out in front of the child. This set contains encrypted words. The child must find them.

- Cross out all the "B"s and circle all the "E's"
- Walking through labyrinths(lay a path from one point to another). This developmental task has two difficulty options.
Easy (no intersections)
Increased complexity (with intersections) 
- “Complete the drawing”. This task develops perseverance
- Game "Piano". Number of people: 3 or more (the more, the more interesting). Children really like this game. Everyone sits on chairs in one row. Hands are placed on each other's knees. You need to take turns clapping your neighbor’s knee, maintaining a given pace. The last person in the row claps 2 times and the game goes in the opposite direction. The one who gets confused or misses the clap is out of the game.
Distribution of attention
This is the ability to engage in 2-3 types of activities at the same time.
- "Julius Caesar". Do one action with one hand, and another with the other at the same time and without losing your way:
a) draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other;
b) transfer peas from plate to plate with one hand, and leaf through a book with the other hand, etc.; - "Pairs account". We count 1, 30, 2, 29, 3, 28 and so on;
"Counting Elements".The child is offered a card. You need to count in this order: first square, first circle, first triangle, second circle, second triangle, etc. 
- One by one we show the student 4 cards with geometric shapes, each time calling out a number from 1 to 9. Then, from memory, have him draw all the numbers and figures, observing the same order.
Attention span
- Game "Cities". An adult says the name of the city, for example, PENZA. The child repeats and adds another city: PENZA-MINSK. Adult PENZA-MINSK-MOSCOW and so on until someone gets lost;
- "Detectives". Game task, very exciting and useful. In a group of 3-6 children, a driver (Detective) is selected, who carefully examines everyone and remembers the details. Then he leaves the room, and the rest try to change 5 details in their appearance. The detective comes in, his task is to find all the changes.
Vikium simulator for primary schoolchildren
One of the reasons for the sharp deterioration in attention in the lower grades is the craze computer games. This leads to absent-mindedness and a transition to clip consciousness. The brain stops remembering and analyzing - it simply “stupidly” accepts pictures in order to immediately forget them. Try asking your child to learn a poem or a rule after playing on a tablet for two hours - it will take a lot of time.
What should I do? Of course, you can ban people from playing, but I will say that there is a better option. You will kill two birds with one stone! Offer it to your son or daughter instead of another shooting game simulator for brain development and attention correction Vikium. The child will definitely get carried away, the toy is very interesting, and also educational.
Vikium methods were developed by Russian scientists to act on a subconscious level, activating the functioning of the brain. And the longer a child plays, the more his brain will work and develop. The results are noticeable within a week. blog is already dedicated to the Vikium service. Everything is described in detail. I recommend.
