II. Актуализация темы урока.

Sometimes in our lives,
We just need a little less stress.
Life gets so crazy at times,
We'd like to just play a little chess.

And then there are the times,
That there's things we wanna do,
But we feel like we don't have time,
To start, let alone to follow through.

So what is it we should do,
But try and make time for us.
We all need a little time,
To sit back without making a fuss.

So let's all make a plan,
To live a life less stressed.
And do the things we wanna do,
This is what I'd suggest!

Exercises “A mountain from your shoulders”

Straighten out your legs and strain muscles of your things. Relax. Then repeat the process of tension and relaxation of the rest parts of your body: stomach, breast, arms, neck and face. Sit for some minutes relaxed. In the result you have relaxation of all your body and the tension or nerves, stress are shacked off.

Complex of exercises for your eyes

At school and at home your eyes are tensed daily for 5-9 hours. That’s why we need to do special exercises to strengthen muscles of eyelids, to make bloodstream better and to make the work at short distances easier.

Sitting on a chair, touch the back of the chair – breath in. Then bend forward to the desk-breath out. Do this exercise 5-6 times.

Sit strait, hands on your waist. Turn your head to the right, look at the elbow of your right arm. Then turn your head to the left side and look at the elbow. Do it 5-6 times.

Now look in front of you at the blackboard for 2-3 seconds, and then look at the tip of your nose for 3-5 seconds. Do this exercise 6-8 times.

Exercise “Palming”

Rub your hands with all your might to warm them. Then put your elbows on the desk and close eyes by your palms. Don’t touch the eyes. You should concentrate and feel the warmth, then during 30-60 seconds direct this warmth into your eyes.
