Table: tasks and techniques for mastering round dance games
| Age group | Problems of round dance games | Organization of games | Mastering techniques |
| First youngest (1.5–3 years) |
| Kids learn to stand in a circle and dance in a circle. At the beginning of learning round dance games, it is recommended to place a toy in the center of the circle; it will serve as a guide for the children. At first, it is difficult for children of the second year of life to move clearly in a circle. To help them, you can mark a circle on the floor with electrical tape or stickers. The song is performed by adults: teacher, music director, physical education instructor, parents. They learn the round dance game several times a week. | Demonstration of the game by adults (demonstrated by the teacher and nanny, music director and teacher, etc.). |
| Second youngest (3–4 years) |
| Movements in a circle become more difficult:
The songs are performed by adults, encouraging children to sing along. The round dance game is learned daily: at leisure, during a music lesson, while walking. |
|
| Medium (4–5 years) |
| Children perform round dance songs on their own. In the first half of the day, the teacher learns the text with the children, in the second half - the movements. | |
| Senior (5–6 years old) |
| Older preschoolers quickly learn the words of songs. And the movements of round dance games become more complex: formation according to the rules and formation of figures appear. It is recommended to learn round dance movements in the first half of the day, and the lyrics of the song in the second. The new game should be repeated with the children 2-3 times during the day, for reinforcement - 1-2 times. |

| Preparatory (6–7 years) |

Round dance games belong to the folklore genre. Dance movements, plots and melodies of songs were invented by the people and have been preserved since ancient times. There are modern musical arrangements for round dance games; it is recommended to use them infrequently: at festive events or sports activities. The main meaning in learning round dances is contact with the world of Russian folk art. Let children feel the beauty of melodies and movements in their simplicity.
Children's round dance games are not only circular. The formation of the figures is borrowed from folk dance:
- “Wall to wall”, “Vorottsa”: participants line up in two lines and stand opposite each other.
For one musical phrase, the wall “finds” the wall and returns to its place, then the second line finds it. Moving towards is possible for both lines. To make a gate, the first participants in the lines join hands, and the round dance chains pass under them. In the round dance game “Like Ours at the Gate,” the chain of participants passes through the gate formed by the leaders - There is only one “circle”.
Russian folk round dances are characterized by movement in the direction of the sun, that is, clockwise. But in play dances the opposite direction is also possible. For example, in the Carousel game, participants spin the ribbons first in one direction, then turn around and spin the carousel. In games, it is possible to build two separate circles or a circle within a circle. Most often, round dances with preschoolers take place in a circle - “Snail”, “Cabbage”: twisting the round dance chain into a spiral.
This figure is created when one of the participants breaks the circle and begins to move in such a way that the chain wraps around an improvised center. This game also involves returning to the circle: the leader runs from the center of the cabbage (snail) and begins to move in a large circle. In the round dance game “Cabbage,” the leader twists the chain in the form of a spiral - “Snake”: the leader directs a round dance to form a zigzag pattern.
The round dance chain, when formed with a snake, draws a zigzag pattern
Experienced teachers usually introduce children to the circular formation of a round dance and games like “Snake”, rarely with “Cabbage” and “Vorottsy”. At events in the kindergarten that my children attend, I observed round dance games at Maslenitsa festivities and the autumn festival. Traditionally, round dances are held at New Year's matinees. The game form includes a round dance in which the content of the song determines the movements. In the younger group, the son and classmates were bunnies, for example, and in a round dance they jumped, wagged their tails, shook their ears. At sports festivals it was fun to play the snake round dance. Parents and children joined hands, and the leader (usually the most active dad is chosen) led this long chain at high speed with dashing patterns.
