Abstract
The relevance of the study is determined by the need to develop cognitive and executive functions of children of senior preschool age, to prepare them for primary school. Studies show that the relationship between physical and cognitive activity is complex and diverse: in some cases, physical activity affects the development of cognitive and regulatory functions, while in others it does not. We found an unusual form of physically active dance activity. Acrobatic rock-n-roll turned out to be the dance that children like.
The purpose of the study is to conduct a pedagogical experiment, justify the criteria, develop recommendations for the implementation of the relationship between physical and cognitive development of children.
The novelty of the study lies in the use of acrobatic rock and roll as a physically active instrument, as a criterion for the effectiveness of the relationship between cognitive and physically activity.
The research methodology relies on a provision stating that the external and the semantic side of speech is the unity, which is a verbal thinking (Vygotsky, 1999), and structural approach to the analysis of speech (Morgenthaler, 1980), dialectical – creative activities for children (Veraksa, 2020).
The results showed a noticeable positive shift in the experimental groups in ability to convey the theme and idea of the tale - 73% of children and in the control group - 54% of children.
