Poem about playing ball at recess(written by Svetlana Vetryakova specifically for the site)

To have fun playing
You need to pump up the ball.
And the boys and girls
The ball will be hit loudly.

Real athletes
They will run for recess.
They will jump and jump
And catch up with each other.

We will inflate the ball deftly
You just need to have the skill.
Press harder
Run away quickly!

Various games with the ball
We'll definitely start.
And in “Frog” and “Dog”,
In “Rucheek”, and in “Fast Ball”.

I reached the turn,
Rolled out of the gate.
Jumped over the yard
He escaped through the fence.

Spins quickly and flies!
Who will catch him now?
Hurry up and catch up
And tell your neighbor.

Multi-colored bright ball
Jumps briskly without hesitation.
Stop running, have fun,
We need to go study!

We inflated a huge ball,
We played and relaxed.
It's time for us to go back to class
We have classes there.

The children's game "Sly Fox" is similar to "Ring-Ring", but differs in its rules. It develops attention and patience, and liberates children. The game requires an open area and 6-10 participants.

Rules of the game sly fox

The players stand in a circle, facing each other. Everyone puts their hands behind their backs. With children, an adult is chosen as the driver; among school-age children, this could be one of the players. The driver stands behind the circle and walks behind all the guys. He must very carefully, unnoticed by the others, touch the hand of one of the players. The one he touches becomes a “sly fox.”

Next, the driver selects one player and invites him to look into the eyes of the participants and guess who has become the “fox”. The player can guess, but if this does not happen, everyone asks: “Sly fox, where are you?”, trying to identify it. If the "fox" is discovered, everything starts again. If not, then she shouts “I’m here” and begins to catch up with the players. The task of the catcher is to catch three runners. After this, the game starts over. The outdoor game “Sly Fox” is good entertainment for children and adults outdoors or indoors.

The teacher invites the children to close their eyes, walks in a circle and quietly touches the shoulder of one of the players. This player becomes the Sly Fox.
