Simple stretching exercises for children

To perform a hamstring stretch, start at one with the left leg stretched forward position sitting, the fingers pointing upward. Bend your right leg and place the sole of the right knee or inner thigh of the left leg. Reach forward toward the toes of the left foot until you feel a stretch in the thigh (hamstring on the back of the thigh). Hold for 10-30 seconds without bouncing.

Switch legs and repeat. This expansion is also known as the area of an obstacle, since the position of the legs of a runner looks like she jumps over a hurdle.
