Summer outdoor games for children on fresh air

One two three four five!

Game progress : the leader is selected from the players, the rest of the players form a circle, facing the leader, who stands in the center of the circle. All players receive their serial number. The players, holding hands, walk in a circle until the leader calls out any few numbers, for example, “2” and “12”. Players under these numbers should quickly change places. At the same time, the driver also tries to take one of the temporarily vacant seats. If he succeeds, the late player takes his place, that is, becomes the leader. The winners are those children who have never been driving in the entire game.

Special remarks: the driver can call not only 2, but also 3 and even 4 numbers. Players must change places as soon as the last number is called after the “and”.

Bison in the steppe

Game progress: players are divided into 2 teams - "buffalo" and "antelope". Teams line up on opposite sides of the court at a distance of 20 m from each other. Conventionally, the site - the steppe - is divided into 2 equal parts by the middle line. One half belongs to the "antelopes", the other - to the "buffalo".

The game is started by lot by one of the teams. One of the players of this team goes to the middle line, makes several distracting movements and steps with both feet behind the middle line, i.e. into the opponent's territory. Then, turning, he runs to his former place. As soon as the player of the first team (for example, "buffalo") crossed the middle line, the player from the "antelope" team standing opposite takes off and tries to catch up and touch him before crossing the starting line. Those who are caught are taken prisoner. Game continues.

Special Notes: The beginner is not allowed to return to his seat unless he has both feet in the opponents' territory.

African dance

Attributes: 5 clubs or skittles.

Game progress : a large circle is drawn in the center of the playground, and a square is drawn in its middle and 5 maces are placed - 4 at the corners of the square, and one in the center.

Players stand around the drawn circle and start moving clockwise. On a signal from the leader, those standing in the circle begin to pull their neighbor on the right so that he touches the mace and drops it. Whoever knocked down the mace is out of the game. The game continues on.

Special remarks: after the fall, the mace is put back, and the game continues for 10-15 minutes.

Pyramid

The purpose of the game: the development of motor abilities, the development of a good eye.

In the center of the playground, a circle with a diameter of 0.5 m is drawn with chalk. At a distance of 2 - 3 m from it, a game line is drawn. The leader is selected from the players according to the counting rhyme. In the outlined circle, 7 balls fit into a pyramid. Players take turns throwing a ball into the pyramid, standing behind the game line. The one who breaks the pyramid receives a chip from the driver and gives way to the next player. The one who collects the most chips wins.

Special notes: when the entire pyramid is destroyed, the driver collects the balls and builds a new one.

fun train

The purpose of the game: the development of motor, communication skills and dexterity.

Attributes: chairs according to the number of players.

Game progress: a leader is selected from among the players - the “driver”. The rest of the players, representing the cars, stand one after another at a distance of 0.3 m from one another. To the right of each player is a chair. The host lines up the “carriage” players, creating an impromptu train out of them: each player puts his hands on the shoulders of the previous player. At the signal of the presenter: “Train!” - "cars" under the leadership of the "driver" begin to move quickly in different directions, moving away from the chairs. At the signal: "Station!" - players-"cars" must quickly run to the chairs and grab onto one of them. The "engineer" also tends to take up one of the chairs. The player left without a chair becomes the "driver" and the game continues. The winners are those players who have never been a “driver” during the game.

Special notes: a player who grabs a chair later than another may have time to run to the next chair.

Elephants and giraffes

The purpose of the game: the development of motor, communication skills, speed of reaction.

Game progress : On opposite sides of the playing area, lines of cities are drawn, between which a median line is drawn. Players are divided into 2 teams - "elephants" and "giraffes". Each team chooses a captain. Teams line up on opposite sides behind the line of their city. On a signal, the captain of the "elephants" team sends one of his players to the "giraffes". He must run to the opposing team, touch one of the "giraffes" with his hand and have time to escape to his city.

That “giraffe” touched by the “elephant” should try to catch up with him to the middle line. If he manages to do this, then the "elephant" is out of the game. The team that retains the most players wins. When the game is repeated again, the giraffe team starts it.

The kangaroo players of this team on one leg try to jump to their home, and their rivals, also on one leg, catch up with them. For each tagged player, the team receives 1 point. On their center line, each team lays out as many pebbles as it has taunted the fleeing ones. When the game ends, the kangaroos return to the center lines. When the game is repeated, the children change roles. The first team to score a conditional number of points (pebbles) wins.

Special notes: only a player jumping on one leg can be salted; if a player stands on 2 legs, he is out of the game. As the game progresses, you can change your foot. Those who hid in the house cannot be salted.

Attributes: large rubber ball.

Game progress : the driver is selected from the players - “cheetah”. The rest of the players are "zebras". "Zebras" stand in a circle, and "cheetah" - in the center of the circle. The "cheetah" has a ball. He brings it into play, and the zebras start tossing the ball to each other so that the cheetah can't grab it. If the cheetah intercepts the ball, the zebras scatter in different directions before the cheetah yells "Stop!" The players freeze in their places, and the driver, without leaving the spot, throws the ball at any of them. If he hits, then the caught "zebra" becomes the new driver, and if he misses, then he leads again.

Special Notes: When thrown, the ball must not fly much higher than the hands of the players. You can't run with the ball in your hands.

Ostrich and kangaroo

The purpose of the game: the development of motor and communication skills.

Attributes: large rubber ball.

Game progress: from among the players, the driver is selected - "ostrich", all the rest - "kangaroos". Players stand in a circle facing the center at a distance of one step from one another. "Ostrich" stands in the center of the circle, calls one of the players by name and throws the ball on the ground so that it bounces in the right direction. "Kangaroo", whose name was called "ostrich", catches the ball and hits it. The number of hitting the ball is set by agreement, but not more than 5. After hitting the ball is thrown to the “ostrich”, and the game continues until one of the “kangaroos” drops the ball. In this case, the game starts over. The one who dropped the ball takes the place of the "ostrich".

Special remarks: hitting the ball should be standing in one place. "Kangaroo" takes the place of "ostrich" only if he picked up the ball from the ground.

animal relay

The purpose of the game: the development of motor and communication skills, dexterity and attention.

Game progress: players are divided into 2 teams and each line up in a column one at a time, parallel to one another. The distance between the columns is about 2 m. The finish line is drawn 20 m from the columns. Players get the names of different animals: the first in columns are “bears”, the second are “giraffes”, the third are “elephants”, the fourth are “leopards”, the fifth are “kangaroos”, the sixth are “wolves”, etc.

Simple and interesting games for team building. Games aimed at team building. Games can be used in the children's camp. Games are useful for children's recreation.

asylum

Your city is being bombed, and there is only one shelter where you can hide and it can only accommodate 4 people. It is necessary to save the most necessary, irreplaceable people. You must decide which of your group will occupy this hideout. Everyone must choose a role for himself, in the group there must be people with different skills and professions. Each member of the group should have positive and negative sides of his story. For example, a surgeon does not want to hide without his wife, who is hopelessly ill.

laser barrier

The path you are walking is blocked by a laser wall 1.5 meters high, and you have no way to get around it. You must get over this wall as a group "alive and unharmed." The group can use only themselves and, as an improvised means, a beam (crossbar) 2.5 meters long. The upper edge of the laser beam can be marked with a rope stretched at a height of 1.5 meters between trees or two players.

foggy harbor

The group must navigate the oil tanker (one of the team members) without colliding with other vessels (the rest of the team members). The "tanker" must be blindfolded, its task is not to run into other ships standing all over the playground on its way. As soon as the tanker approaches on all fours, the nearest "ship" starts to give a warning signal (like a siren). Then the "tanker" slows down and tries to maneuver to pass through the harbor without collision.

Poison chemical stream

The group must navigate through a stream of poisonous chemicals using a limited amount of means at hand. Team members must not touch the ground. Materials: 5-10 cans, 2 two-meter poles, 3 boards. Cans and poles are chemically resistant, boards are not.

landing pad

Performing the following task, you can see how many people can fit on a platform measuring a meter by a meter. Participants get there from a certain point, located at a distance of 5-6 meters, hanging and swinging on a rope.

The platform should be three meters from the vertical line of a freely hanging rope (this distance depends on the length of the rope and the height at which it is suspended).

Make several trial attempts to determine the exact location of the site and the starting line. To complicate the task, put a stick on two tin cans and place it directly opposite the starting point: if someone inadvertently knocks this stick down, the whole group performs the task again.

If you have played or seen skittles being played, you can imagine what happens when a large number of people could hardly fit on a small patch, and then another one flies towards them on a rope.

Test trail (competition game)

At a common fire, the chief leader divides the entire camp into two tribes. The instructors, disguised as Indians, help him. Each tribe comes up with a code and makes a totem (a symbol of the tribe). The Indians put on makeup and make their own costumes. Each tribe hides the totem in the camp, it is possible with one of the adults. Each tribe composes an encryption in which it reports exactly where its totem is located, and gives it to the pathfinder instructor, who will be the last on the test path. The cipher is given to the chief leader, who also checks the encryption for grammatical errors. The instructors go to their points on the trail.

Both tribes again gather around the fire and greet each other. The leader leads the tribes to the start and explains the task: you need to go along the path of trials to the end, in the center of the path get the encryption of the opponents, read it and find their totem in the camp. Whoever passes all the tests more accurately and faster will achieve the result earlier and win the tribal competition. The paths for each of the tribes are of equal length, the tasks are similar. The antidote distribution point is the same for the two tribes and is located in a well-known place equidistant from the trails. Tribes start at the same time on any signal from the camp (shot, column of smoke).

Stages of the Test Trail

Sharp arrows. Each Indian has three bumps, he must hit the rope loop three times. Those who do not hit the target are thrown again until they hit.

Web . You need to get through the rope barriers without hitting the ropes so that the signal bells do not ring. If the bell rang, the Indian starts overcoming the web from the beginning.

decoction of herbs . Three mugs with decoctions of herbs are offered. What kind of herbs are brewed, you can find out by the bouquets that lie next to each mug. In one circle, the decoction is useful, in the other - harmless, in the third - poisonous. You need to figure out where the broth is, and drink one of them - everyone takes a sip. If you drink a poisonous decoction, you need to run to the antidote dispensing point and save the entire tribe.

Blind hunters.Four blindfolded Indian hunters must hit the game instructor with cones, who moves inside a circle with a diameter of 5 meters, ringing a bell. They throw cones until everyone hits the game once.

Silly Indian. The instructor on the other side of the river explains with gestures how to go further. It's about the sides of the world. Having understood where to run, the Indians must navigate by signs.

Pathfinders. Determine where the traces of a person in the forest lead (broken twigs, matches, crushed mushrooms and grass, etc.). If the Indians correctly determine the direction, they receive the encryption of their opponents. The tribe deciphers the letter, finds the totem in the camp as quickly as possible and brings it to the chief leader. The winner is the one who brings the totem of rivals first.

Game end: general gathering around the fire, the ritual of rewarding. Here is the task for the evening bonfire.

What to do when it rains?

Sometimes, due to the weather, the counselor does not have the opportunity to hold events on the street and the whole detachment has to sit in the building. Then the question arises: what to do, how to keep the children busy? Of course, play! Try the games below.

Quieter louder

You probably played the game "Cold-hot" as a child? This game is similar to it: the guys sit in a circle, the driver leaves the circle and turns his back. One of the group members has an object hidden. The task of the driver is to find the person who has the object hidden. As soon as he enters the circle, everyone begins to sing some kind of song and the louder, the closer the driver is to the hidden one. Accordingly, the song is sung quieter if the driver moves away from this person. When the item is found, the driver changes, if not, then the game continues.

Fishing

A deep plate is placed on the chair, the participants must take turns throwing a button into it from a distance of 2-3 m, or trying to hit the cork of the bottle so that the button remains in the plate. The game can be played by teams - which team has more buttons in the plate.

blinkers

The guys sit on chairs so as to form a circle. Behind each person seated on a chair there must be a player, and one chair must be free. The player standing behind him must wink discreetly at any of those sitting in a circle. All seated competitors must face the player with the free chair. The seated participant, seeing that they winked at him, must quickly take a free seat. The task of the players standing behind the seated ones is not to let their wards pass to free places. To do this, they only need to put their hand on the shoulder of the seated person. If the standing player did not release the sitting one, then they change places.

Statue of love

This game requires four people (two boys and two girls) to leave the room. A boy is chosen to play the role of the "first sculptor", and a boy and a girl who will be the "statue". Conditions are set for the "sculptor": "Imagine that you are a real sculptor and you have to mold a "statue of love"". There is clay in front of you, from which you can sculpt, it will harden the way you want. He proceeds to make a sculpture, and after he finishes it, he is asked to take the boy's place in his "sculpture". Then they invite the girl from behind the door and repeat the same condition to her. After finishing her work, she must take the place of the girl in this "sculpture". And so on with the rest of the participants standing outside the door.

knees

Everyone sits down on the chairs again in a tight circle. Then everyone should put their left hand on the right knee of the neighbor on the left. And my right hand- on the left knee of the neighbor on the right. Well, now, starting with the leader, a light clap of the hand should go clockwise along all the knees in turn. First the leader's right hand, then left hand his neighbor on the right, then the right hand of the neighbor on the left, then the left hand of the counselor, etc.

The first round is held so that the guys understand how to act. After that the game starts. The one who made a mistake during the game removes the hand that either delayed with its clap or produced it earlier. If the player removes both hands, he leaves the circle and the game continues. To complicate the task, the counselor, faster and faster, gives the bill for which the cotton should be produced. The last three players left win.

Zoo

Everyone sits in a circle so that one chair is empty. The driver is in the center of the circle. Each participant, sitting in a circle, calls himself some kind of animal. The participant sitting to the left of an empty chair claps his right hand on it and names some animal. The one who heard the name of the animal chosen by him should take an empty chair. The participant, to the right of which the chair is freed, must clap on it and name another animal. The driver's task is to have time to take a chair before the clap. The one who did not have time to clap becomes the driver.

Fish, birds, animals

Participants form a circle, in the center of which the driver becomes. The driver closes his eyes and begins to rotate around his axis, stretching his right hand forward, and once says the words: "Fish, birds, animals." Then he stops and says any of these sinful words, pointing at one of the participants. The one who was shown should quickly say the name of the bird, fish or beast, depending on what was called the driver. The driver counts up to three, and if during this time the person standing in the circle did not have time to say anything or said the wrong thing, he leaves the game. The names of fish, birds, animals should not be repeated. The most attentive and knowing the most animal names win.

Hello dear parents. Summer time is a time of holidays, games and fun. Modern children are difficult to tear away from gadgets, so they grow up closed, lethargic and unsociable. This can be detrimental to their ability to communicate and work as a team in the future.

Has it ever happened that you go to nature with children, and they whine that they are bored, take a tablet and play minecraft? I had this when my friend and her family went on vacation in the forest. She has a child - a teenager, I have a four-year-old. Find interesting game for such a different age it was difficult, but we still got out, I’ll tell you later how. After this walk, I decided to arm myself with a supply of summer games that will be fun for children and adults.

So, I share with you information about summer games that will develop team and leadership qualities in your kids.

Is it worth playing with children or are they having fun as it is?

Many parents think that playing with children is not necessary, that it is a waste of time. As a result, the child grows up unsociable, he does not know how to share his joys and help others. And you ask the opinion of educators in kindergarten, and they will tell you that kids should comprehend life in a playful way, because it is easier for them to perceive. Especially great importance have summer outdoor games for kids that teach:

• be part of a team;
• show leadership qualities;
• communicate and find a compromise;
• support healthy lifestyle life.

Do you want your children not to be bored in the summer, but to have fun and develop at the same time? Then arrange an unforgettable vacation for them with contests and outdoor games!

How to organize gaming activities?

Students are able to invent their own entertainment. kids 7-10 years old love when parents take part in their fun. You can give them interesting idea, play with them a bit so they learn the rules, and then step aside. And here are the guys 11 years and older do not need the presence of adults, moreover, it can annoy them. Therefore, do not impose your society on children, they themselves are able to have fun.

The picture looks different with the guys 5-6 years. At this age, they are still too self-centered, they do not always know how to find a compromise. The task of an adult is to organize recreation for them on the summer playground: to explain the rules, assign roles and watch how they play. Parents or teachers should also perform a judicial function - to resolve disputes and conflicts. At the same time, be open-minded, otherwise the children will no longer trust you.

We figured out the role of adults, now let's find out what summer entertainment you can come up with for kids.

Target games

Such games are liked by children from 3 to 100 years old. Photo ideas of hitting the target games

Outdoor games for young children in summer

Remember that small children (2-4 years old) still have poor coordination of movements, playing group active games, they can get injured. Therefore, pay attention to establishing tactile contact between children. In kindergarten, they often play educational games. Here are examples of entertainment:

round dances

The crumbs willingly lead round dances and play snake. But for such fun, an area with a flat surface is required so that the little ones do not stumble and hurt themselves. Line up the little participants in a row and ask them to hold hands. Stand at the beginning of the "snake" and lead the "tail" behind you, changing the direction of movement. And if you also turn on the music, it will be doubly fun!

"Give it to someone else"

The game is fun, develops a competitive spirit. Children 4-5 years old are divided into groups of 4 people, stand one after another. The passed object can be a cardboard thermometer under the arm or a plush toy sandwiched between the knees, a ball or even water (for teenagers)! A stick, a ball or a thermometer, and to make it more difficult, you can carry an egg on a spoon in your mouth, which must be given to a friend. You can also complicate by passing the object without using your hands. The fastest and smartest win!

If there are a lot of kids, then you can hold entire tournaments using this game. For example, at first 4 teams participate, and the rest get sick. Then the participants and fans change places.

"The sea is worried - once!"

For children middle group it is possible, and even necessary, to arrange outdoor games on the street. You can start with your favorite game "The Sea Worries", which develops the coordination of the players' movements and the mindfulness of the driver.

The rules are very simple: one player turns away and says a well-known rhyme to everyone, and the participants at this time can run and frolic. After the phrase "Marine figure, freeze!" everyone should freeze in place in intricate poses. The driver goes around the figures and looks who moves. A child who could not stand still becomes a "vada". By the way, you can make the game even more fun by promising the children a prize for the most beautiful figure.

"Musical chair"

Place the chairs in a circle with the seats outward, their number is 1 less than the children. Cheerful music sounds, children move freely. When the music stops, you need to have time to sit down.

The participant left without a chair is out.

Musical games develop mindfulness and reaction speed. Instead of chairs, you can use pebbles, pillows or something else. Instead of music, you can tell a poem, clap, sing.

"Complex traffic light"

The game is suitable for children senior group. It will help not only to improve knowledge of colors, but also to develop counting skills. Basic positions - "wada" turns its back to the participants, the distance between them is at least 5 meters. The host calls the color and sets the price, for example:

• 2 midgets (2 small steps, the heel is attached to the toe);
• 3 giants (3 long strides as long as the stretch allows) child );
• 1 saucepan (1 step with a turn around);
• 5 ducklings (here I mean the steps in the squat).

Children who have the named color in their clothes pass the indicated route. The one who reaches the leader first wins. As you can see, this game is not only developing, but also sporting . By the way, the guys like to come up with their own elements for the "traffic light".

For preschool children you can organize an obstacle course. This obstacle course can be any - from tires, ropes, hemp, tapes, rubber bands and other things. It was this game that saved us on the day I was talking about - we pulled the rope between the trees. For a teenager and adults, there was a task to climb through without hitting the ropes, but for kids it was possible to hold on to it and touch it.

Such sport games develop in them the desire to be the first, strengthen the muscles of the child, make him dexterous. And from the outside, watching such competitions is a pleasure! It is better to arrange an obstacle course on the street with cheerful music.

Team games for children outdoors in summer

Don't know what to do with a bunch of schoolchildren in the summer? We offer several options:

1. Football.
2. Various team relay races.
3. Volleyball.
4. Street games.

long forgotten yard game is "Cossacks-robbers". The more boys and girls who participate, the merrier. The goal of the robber team is to hide better, and if they are found, then run away. The Cossacks must catch all the robbers and take them into custody. And, you can escape from the dungeon!

I would like to pay special attention team relays. They can be arranged in the camp, in the country or on special playgrounds. The relay race includes several stages, points are awarded for each. The team with the most points wins. Here are the funniest elements of relay races:

• bag jumping;
• running on three legs (task for 2 children);
• wheelbarrow (one child walks in his arms, the second holds his legs);
• rope pull.

There are a lot of variations for relay races. The main thing is to connect your imagination, and street games will forever be remembered by the kids!

- has long been a well-known entertainment for children. All folk traditional games can be divided into two groups: 1) winter games - games indoors, in a hut, 2) spring and summer games - games in the fresh air. All these games belong to the group of games with rules. And they are very important for the health of the child, and for his preparation for school. After all, it is in the game with the rules that the child learns to control his behavior, to be guided by the rules in his activities, and this is the development of arbitrariness of behavior - essential condition success in school.

Many of these old outdoor games are now forgotten. I want to tell you a little about them. In this article you will find both outdoor games that can be played by two, as well as games for a large campaign of children - for a children's group or a parent-child group.

Outdoor games: playing with children on a walk

Outdoor games: ball games.

I know.

This outdoor game develops children's memory and attention. It can even be played by two - a mother with one child.

Game option number 1.

We hit the ball, beating it off the ground or asphalt. For each beat, we pronounce a new name, repeating the previous one. For example:

I know one girl Alena.

I know two girls - Alena and Olya.

I know three girls - Alena, Olya and Vera.

I know four girls - Alena, Olya, Vera, Sveta ...

The main thing is not to lose count and correctly repeat the entire sequence without confusing the names in their order.

If a player has lost, he passes the ball to the next player. If he could never go astray, then he is a winner!

Similarly, trees, cities, flowers, vegetables, fruits, minerals and any other names can be called.

Game option number 2.

This version of the game is much more difficult, as it requires a shift in attention. And it is also necessary not to lose count and repeat the names in the chosen sequence.

Line up two parallel rows of names. For example.

I know one girl Alena. I know one boy, Petya.

I know two girls - Alena and Olya. I know two boys - Petya and Vova.

I know three girls - Alena, Olya and Vera. I know three boys -

Petya, Vova and Yura.

I know four girls - Alena, Olya, Vera and Masha. I know four boys - Petya, Vova, Yura and Seryozha and so on.

Such games are very useful for developing the memory and attention of the child, preparing him for school, develop the ability to quickly switch, focus.

Big ball.

To play, you will need a large ball that can be kicked. All players stand in a circle and hold hands. The driver stands in the center of the circle and tries to roll the ball out of the circle with his feet. The players don't let him do it. If one of the players missed the ball, he becomes the driver. But the second round of the game is different. Players now stand facing out of the circle and hold hands. The task of the driver is to roll the ball back into the circle. If this succeeds, then the player who missed the ball becomes the driver.

Again, the children stand facing in a circle and the game is repeated.

The rule of the game is that you cannot pick up the ball, you can only roll it with your feet.

This game can be played even by three people. Then a couple of players stand facing the leader and form a gate. Their task is not to let the ball into the goal, that is, among themselves.

Ball up

1. Everyone is standing in a circle. The driver throws the ball up with the words: “Ball up!” (in some versions, in this game, fictitious words are pronounced that are not in the Russian language, such a word - a signal can be thought up together with the children and shouted out in this game). At this time, all players scatter from the driver as far as possible.
2. The driver catches his ball and shouts at this time: "Stop." All players who run away must stop and freeze in place.
3. The task of the driver is to throw the ball and hit it - to stain one of the players with it. If he managed to tarnish the player, then this player becomes the driver in the next game. If it was not possible to tarnish the player, then the same driver will have to drive again.

Rules of the game:

1. The driver throws the ball up as high as possible.
2. The driver catches the ball either from the air or from one rebound from the ground.
3. If the player did not stop at the “Stop” signal, then he needs to take three big steps towards the driver.
4. Players should not hide behind objects, trees.

Outdoor games: play on the swing.

The game "Popinuha" with a patchwork ball.

Previously, on Easter days, they made large swings on which many people fit, and not only kids, but also adults swung on such swings.

Now in our yards the swing is designed for only one child. What if there are a lot of people who want to swing on a swing and there is an eternal dispute: who is the first? The traditional “give way to the little one” or “give way to the girl” is usually taken with resentment: “Why should I give in again, because I also really want to swing, even though I’m a boy and only a year older.” Of course, you can choose the order of the rhyme or lot, so that no one is offended.

But there is another way - very fun and interesting. This is the traditional Russian swing game "Popinukha" - a game of fun so that no one stays too long on the swing and everyone can ride it. Previously, both children and teenagers played this game. The game develops coordination of movements and dexterity, ingenuity, the ability to observe. After all, to win, you need to predict the trajectory of the ball and throw it correctly to the leader. This is how this game is played outdoors.

What do you need to play on a swing?

Previously, girls sewed a special ball for this game - a “popinuha” with a diameter of up to 20 cm. The ball was stuffed with rags, tow, sawdust and decorated with ribbons and braid. Instead of a ball, they used a bunch of straw, a mitten, an old bast shoe, or another item that was at hand.

Now the booty ball is easiest to make from an unnecessary sock or colored children's tights.

1. Cut off the "pipe". On one side, pull the hole with a strong thread.

2. Fill the resulting "bag" with synthetic winterizer or rags (old unnecessary things, cut into small pieces). Out-of-use women's nylon tights are also well suited as stuffing - the ball will turn out to be elastic.

You can sew it differently: make a bag out of bright colored cotton fabric, stuff it with rags and tie it. It will also turn out to be a pop. You can use a disused potholder-mitt, stuffed with rags and decorated with buttons and bows. See what items you have in a different way, they will all fit in order to become a booty in this game.

In the middle of the ball - popinukhi always put a sounding object. These days, it could be a rustling flower wrapper or a bell. You can fill a plastic box from Kinder Surprise with peas. Or in shells walnut put small peas. In the folk tradition, a birch bark tube with peas inside was placed inside the popinukha.

How to play poop.

Game option number 1.

1. One child swings on a swing (we choose him according to the counting rhyme). Other children stand facing the swing. Swinging on a swing sings 1-2 verses of the song (this is agreed in advance).
2. Players take turns throwing a popinukh ball sitting on a swing (they throw a popinukh at the feet of a child swinging on a swing so that he can hit the ball, that is, kick it). To make the kick stronger, it is better to throw the ball when the swing moves towards the thrower.
3. After the kick, all players rush to catch the kick ball. The goal is to catch the ball before it hits the ground.
4. If the player managed to catch the ball, then he sits on the swing instead of the previous child and swings on them. He starts to sing his 1-2 verses, then they throw him a butt, he pushes her away from himself, and so on as the game progresses.
5. If the swinger could not hit the ball from his knees or feet, he leaves the swing. Then the child who threw this ball sits on the swing.
6. If the swinger hit the ball, but the players did not catch it, then it remains to swing on the swing.

Game option number 2.

1. One child sits on a swing (we will choose him according to the counting rhyme). All other children who also want to ride the swing stand near the swing facing the swinging child.
2. The baby swinging on a swing sings a song (they agree in advance how many verses he will sing). You can say poetry, sing ditties or count to 20 - any task will do. You will find a few swing ditties for this game below.
3. After listening to the ditties (song, poem, score, etc.), the players take turns throwing a pop-ball to the one sitting on the swing. If the child swinging on the swing was able to catch the ball, then it remains to swing. If not, then he gives way to the player who threw the popinuha.

This is a round dance game. All children stand in a circle. And Zarya-Zaryanitsa stands behind the circle and holds a handkerchief in her hands. The round dance goes in one direction in a circle, and the Zarya-Zaryanitsa goes in the other direction around the round dance.

Children sing or say:

"Dawn-dawn - to these words, the round dance and Zaryanitsa move in a circle in different directions.
red maiden,
Walked across the field
Dropped the keys
golden keys,
blue ribbons,
Rings twisted.

"One two Three,
Don't raven!
Run like fire!"

At these words, Zaryanitsa and the child, who was put a handkerchief on his shoulder, run in different directions around the round dance and run around a full circle. Whoever runs around the round dance faster and gets into it, taking a place, he will play in the round dance. The one who did not have time becomes Zaryanitsa and the game continues.

Burners.

How to play burners:

Children stand in pairs one after another in a column. In front of this column, the driver stands facing the children - the “burner”.

Children chant the words:

"Burn, burn bright,
To not go out!
Stay at the bottom
Look at the field.
There are trumpeters
Yes, they eat kalachi.
Look at the sky
The stars are burning
Cranes cry:
- Gu-gu, I'll run away,
One, two
Don't crow
Run like fire!"

At these last words, the children from the last pair in the column unhook their hands and run forward along the column to its beginning. Each player runs on their own side. And the burner is trying to stain them.

If the players managed to run and stand as the first pair in the column, then the burner drives again and “burns”. If the burner has stained the player, then this player becomes the burner in the next horse of the game and the game is repeated.

corners.

Children have been playing this game outdoors for many decades and centuries in different regions of Russia - Vyatka, Tobolsk, Astrakhan, Vladimir. It is also known that this game was played by children in Europe. For example, in France it existed under the name "Four Corners", and in France, instead of a mouse, the driver was called "open" or "pot".

We used to play this game in a log house at home. Then - in my childhood - we also played this game, and we invented it ourselves, but instead of a log house, we used a square sandbox with sides in our yard. Instead of a log house or a sandbox, you can simply draw a square on the ground or on asphalt with a side of about 2.5 meters.

How to play corners?

You can play from 5 people or more. Four people stand in the corners, and the fifth player is the mouse. The mouse is in the center of the square.

The mouse says: "From corner to corner!".

On these words, the children change places. You need to run across and take a place in another corner. The mouse also tries to occupy the vacated corner. Whoever is left without a corner becomes a mouse, stands in the middle of a sandbox or a square and leads in a new game.

In another version of the game, not the mouse says words, but the players say the words to the mouse:

"Mouse, mouse,
Sell ​​a corner.
For the awl, for the soap,
For a white towel, for a mirror!”

and change places.

Confusion.

This wonderful and very interesting folk old outdoor game is often used in modern psychological trainings for children and adults. It is very useful in order to rally people, remove barriers, bring a joyful mood. This game can be played indoors, in the gazebo, on the veranda, at a birthday party, with guests, in the park or in the forest, in the country house or in the yard. And everyone plays this game together - adults and children.

How to play confusion.

Mother and daughter are selected from the players. Mom leaves. All players join hands with each other in a circle. The daughter confuses this round dance - you can crawl under your hand like under a gate, step over your hands, turn around. The main condition is to do this without disengaging your hands. When the players are completely confused with each other, they call for mom: “ Mom, unravel the thread!Just don't break it!"

Mom is trying to unravel the confusion and get everyone in the circle back to their place. The rule is the same - the players must not disengage their hands when unraveling.

If the mother has unraveled the confusion, then a new mother and daughter are selected. If not, then mom leads another con of the game.

If there are few participants in the game, then you can get tangled with a rope.

Mail.

Playing in the fresh air, which liberates children, teaches them to focus on communication partners, to convey various actions and emotional states of people with gestures.

The leader and players are selected.

Leader: "Ding, ding, ding!"
Players: "Who's there?"
Host: "Mail!"
Players: "Where?"
Host: "From the city."
Players: What are they doing there?
The leader here, in response, comes up with whatever he wants and says one thing he invented - “laugh (or sing, repair, bake pies, pick mushrooms, grieve, rejoice, admire, be surprised, sew, knit, and so on). And everyone makes this move. Who hesitated or did not make a movement together with everyone (for example, did not want to) - from that we take a phantom (it can be a small thing or a leaf, a pebble, a stick).

Fantas win back after the game like this:

The player who needs to win back the phantom stands in the middle of all other players. He becomes a mirror. All the players come up to him, “look in the mirror” and do anything: comb their hair, braid their pigtails, straighten their collars, brush their clothes. And the "mirror" should synchronously repeat the player's actions.

After winning back the forfeits, the game can be repeated.

These outdoor games can be used both at home and in kindergarten. Play with pleasure! Happy sunny summer everyone!
