Carnival games for grandmothers. What competitions to hold on Maslenitsa? Game "Golden Gate"

Maslenitsa is a special holiday cycle that allows you to fully enjoy a variety of folk entertainment. The number of games, contests and other pastime options can pleasantly surprise you. What options are the most worthy?

"Masha-bewildered."

Participants should stand in one row and join hands, creating a chain. On the right side, you need to determine the leader, who will run with a change of direction. Other participants must follow the leader. At the same time, only the leader can know the direction of movement. In this regard, the main task is the desire to maintain balance and maintain the chain, but this turns out to be extremely difficult. The following nuance should be noted: it is more difficult for players who are far from the leader to maintain balance, since there is always a risk of unhooking or falling. Despite this, participants who fall are out of the game. The main task is to hold out until the very end.

"Geese and geese".

The game comes into contact with folk customs that have existed for a long time. It is known in almost every country in the world, but it differs in names. The game pleases with simple rules: players must stand in a circle, facing the center. From the side of the back, the leader should approach each participant, touching the back. Then the participants receive their names, namely "goose" or "goose". If a player has been called a goose, he must remain where he is. If the participant was called a goose, he must move away from his place and run around all those gathered, and then take his place. The difficulty lies in the following: the leader runs around the circle in the opposite direction. Free place occupied by the leader or player. He who lost his place must lead game process according to the scheme above.

Competition "Here, damn it."

This competition is closely related to the attributes of Maslenitsa. Each kid must come up with a poem with certain words, namely: pancake, carnival, winter, spring, sun. If the child has some difficulties with this task, you can ask the parents for help. For this reason, parents can also take the opportunity to enjoy the game. The winner must submit the most interesting and unusual verse. At the same time, one should take into account how active the help of adults was.

Surprise game.

Guests should stand or sit in a circle. Then the participants take a large box and start passing it around while listening to the music. The host can stop the music at any time. The guest who had the box must open it and put his thing inside. After the participants have undressed sufficiently, the box should again start in a circle. Now the rules are changing: each stop of the music requires the participant to put on a thing, but you can’t look into the box. The item will need to be worn for the specified time.

Elephant game.

The elephant is a Russian game that has been around for a long time. Participants can be teenagers or even older. It is important to note that the gameplay is aimed at testing strength and endurance, so boys are of the greatest interest. Girls can also participate if they wish. In any case, the teams must be equivalent. It is important to note that the game not only shows the physical strength of the participants, but also allows you to prepare, improve and even learn how to jump over a goat.

At the very beginning, the players are divided into two teams that have the same number of participants and are equal in strength. One team becomes an elephant. The other team should jump on him.

The participant who is the strongest and strongest must stand in front, facing the wall. He leans his hands against the wall, bends and lowers his head. The next player grabs the participant by the belt, hiding his head. All others follow this pattern. They should visually represent an elephant, trying to hold on to each other.

Representatives of the other team will need to take turns running up and jumping onto the back of the depicted elephant. At the same time, you need to try to sit on horseback as far forward as possible, because there should be enough space for the next players. The whole team must remain on the back of the elephant. In this case, you need to stay on your back for 10 seconds.

Now there is an opportunity to switch roles.

Game "Venitsa".

Participants should stand in a round dance, hold hands and begin to slowly move in a circle. Some people can walk inside the circle. Each walker receives his handkerchief, after which he chooses a "victim" of the opposite sex from a round dance. The handkerchief must be spread out in front of the "victim". After that, the participant leaves the round dance, kneels on a scarf. And then there is the kiss. The "victim" receives a handkerchief, and the "walker" must stand in a round dance. For interesting game it takes about 10 - 15 minutes and a few handkerchiefs.

The game "Earth, air, water, fire."

Participants should stand in a circle, in the middle of which will be the leader. The driver must throw the ball to the participants and say the name of one of the four elements. "Earth" means the need to pronounce the name of the animal, "water" - fish, "air" - birds. At the word "fire" all participants must wave their hands. After that, the driver again receives the ball. If the participant did not have time to name the word or made a mistake, you need to “pay” the phantom, after which it becomes possible to continue the game.

Game "Sour cream".

The optimal number of participants is 2-4 people. Players will need 2 plastic cans of sour cream, 2 scarves or ropes, crowd. The competition can be held with the presentation of various prizes. The main goal is to quickly eat sour cream, but at the same time the hands will be kept tied behind. The spectacle promises to be unusual and truly breathtaking!

Competition "Delicious pancakes".

Such a competition is ideally held during the celebration of Maslenitsa. Competitors must make their own pancakes with unusual fillings and present them in a special way on a plate. Other people must guess the prepared stuffing and evaluate the design of the structure. The winner must surprise with their culinary skills and bright, extraordinary design of pancakes.

Competition "3 legs".

Participants should be divided into pairs. Then each pair allows the legs to be tied in the following pattern: the right leg of one person is tied to the left leg of the other person. The couple in this position must run to the turning flag, and then return to the start line.

Bag fight.

For this competition, you need to fence a small area. Then one arm should remain tightly pressed to the lower back. You can only take action with one hand. To win, you need to be able to move and feel what the enemy is doing. The results largely depend on how the opponent's momentum is used.

Snow maze.

On the site, you first need to draw a square or round labyrinth, providing 2 exits, which are recommended to be placed on opposite parts. Snow must be used to lay out the inner parts of the labyrinth, then the walls. In this case, the height of the walls should not exceed a meter. Only in this case, you can easily understand who got lost in the maze. The optimal width of the passages is from 80 to 100 centimeters. If there is a lot of snow, you can create a labyrinth in a different way: you need to remove the snow with a shovel, and then lay it on different sides of the passages. Another option is to trample moves on the territory, trying to confuse the participants. In any case, pastime promises to be interesting and exciting.

Snow range.

You can set targets for throwing snowballs. In the form of targets, it is recommended to use shields measuring 1 * 1 meters with inscribed circles, the diameter of which can be 30, 60 or 90 centimeters. Shields must be installed on dug poles. Targets can be hit with snowballs. Such a shooting gallery also allows you to feel the charms of winter.

Ice pillar.

You can put a tall pole, which you need to douse with cold water. After the pillar becomes ice, you need to hang a few gifts. Players must overcome numerous obstacles in order to get to the very top and get an expensive present.

On Maslenitsa week, I really want to play games and entertainment with children to expand ideas about the traditions of the Russian people. Children love to play with gaming activity they learn the rules, speech develops, and, most importantly, communicate with their peers, negotiate. I think this material will be useful to other educators this week.

Any holiday in kindergarten- a whole event for children, a kind of miracle that they are looking forward to. And such magic in the life of preschoolers should be as much as possible. A wonderful occasion to have fun and imbue with folk traditions is the bright and bright Maslenitsa holiday, or seeing off winter. What games and fun to offer the guys on this day? How to involve parents in entertainment?

Maslenitsa outdoor games

The ancient Slavs believed that if it was boring to spend the whole Shrovetide week, then next year there would be no luck. And having a good time holidays, you can do a good job. That is why in Russia there were so many games and fun dedicated to Maslenitsa. It is imperative to tell preschoolers about this and invite them to arrange a holiday on the eve of spring. You can do it on the street. At the same time, outdoor games will be the predominant entertainment so that the guys do not freeze.

For such a holiday fresh air Parents may also be invited. It’s good to ask them in advance to prepare some holiday attributes for the children: for example, scarves in the Russian folk style for girls, masks or unusual hats for boys. It will be great if the teacher dresses up in an appropriate costume that matches the color of the holiday, for example, transforms into Spring (a green sundress over outerwear, a wreath with flowers and ribbons).

If the teacher wears a costume that matches the color of the holiday, the children will be delighted

"Carousel"

Traditionally, the carousel game was arranged at the Maslenitsa festivities. To do this, a high pole was installed on the square, to which multi-colored long ribbons were attached. The kids grabbed onto them and ran around.

Such fun can be arranged in the kindergarten area. A low pole can be held by an adult and rotated. You can also use a hoop (ribbons are tied to it), the teacher again stands in the center and rotates it.

When the children start running, the adult turns the pole in the right direction

The rules of the game can be very different depending on the age of the children. For kids, it will be enough to move at a different pace according to the words of a famous song (adult says):

• Barely, barely, barely
  The carousels spin
  And then, then, then
  All run, run, run.
  Hush, hush, don't rush
  Stop the carousel
  One-two, one-two
  Here the game is over.

For older kids, the rules can be more complicated. Preschoolers run in a circle to the Russian plus melody (you can take the speakers outside) or to the beat of a tambourine. When the music stops, each child must grab the end of the ribbon (until then they do not touch them). At the same time, there are one fewer ribbons than children: the baby left without a ribbon is eliminated. Then the game continues until there are two participants and one ribbon left (each time one is untied from the pole or hoop).

Video: game "Carousel" in kindergarten "

Such a game with kids can be played both in the hall and on the street. In the latter case, a tambourine can be an accompaniment, and children and adults sing the song in chorus.

"Burners"

Be sure to offer the children traditional Shrovetide burners. At the beginning of the game, the children form a "brook" - they stand in pairs in a column, take hold of the handles and raise them.

Shrovetide burners will amuse children like their peers many centuries ago

The couple standing at the very end runs forward in the "corridor" under the linked handles. When all the couples run in this way, the children sing the song “Burn, burn clearly!” in chorus:

• Burn, burn clear
  To not go out!
  Look at the sky
  The birds are flying
  The bells are ringing:
  Ding dong, ding dong
  Get out quick!

After that, the couple standing in front scatters to the sides, and the driver (let it be an adult for the first time) tries to catch one of these guys. If the children managed to run to the end of the column and hold hands again, then the next couple will scatter. If one of the participants is caught, then he already becomes the driver (the former takes his place).

The game "Burners" is more suitable for older preschoolers, as it requires a certain dexterity and speed.

"Trap"

On Maslenitsa, you can also play games familiar to children, but they must be given a festive flavor. For example, in the game "Trap" the driver is dressed up as a goat.

Familiar games can be given a Maslenitsa flavor, for example, by dressing the driver as a goat

A goat (or a goat) is a traditional Slavic character of disguise. The costume of this animal (a wooden head with horns, a beard made of straw, a casing turned inside out with wool) was put on for Christmas and Shrovetide detours. This animal was considered a symbol of fertility, a rich harvest. On Maslenitsa, they even sometimes brought a live goat.

Participants turn to the "goat":

• gray goat,
  tail white,
  We'll get you drunk
  We will feed you
  You do not butt us
  And play Lovishka.

After the last words, the players scatter around the site, and the "goat" tries to catch up with someone.

Shrovetide fights

What a Maslenitsa holiday without fistfights! Only in kindergarten this game needs to be made safer: the participants do not fight with their fists, but use Balloons in the form of sticks (you can even build swords). Participants stand on a bench and strike each other, trying to knock down the enemy.

Traditional fisticuffs should be made safer

Competition "Snowdrops"

Since Shrovetide is also a meeting of spring, you can use the symbol of this season in the game, for example, a snowdrop. It will take quite a lot of artificial flowers (they can be made in advance with the guys in the lesson), or again they can be built from long balloons. Preschoolers are divided into two or three teams. Music sounds, during which an adult scatters snowdrops in the snow. As soon as the melody stops, the teams begin to collect flowers. The winner is the owner of the largest bouquet.

Preparing for the holiday is also a holiday, so older preschoolers will be happy to make snowdrops with their own hands

"Masha-confused"

Children form a long "chain" - they hold each other by the shoulders or waist. The first is the driver, he starts to run around the site in different directions. The task of the players is not to break the "chain" and not fall (the hardest thing is for the children standing at the end). When someone falls, he is out of the game.

Indoor games and fun

Much more often, the Maslenitsa holiday in kindergarten is arranged in music hall. It also hosts various games and fun, but, of course, they are already calmer than on the street.

There are better acoustics in the room, so they pass more successfully music games- children themselves sing songs (to the accompaniment of a musical director).

round dance games

It is good to conduct various round dance games to the music. After all, the round dance is associated with the sun and pancakes - the main symbols of Maslenitsa. It is necessary to draw the attention of children to this similarity.

The circle dance symbolizes the sun and looks like a pancake - children should definitely learn about it

In the round dance game itself, you must also use the attributes of the holiday, for example, carved pancakes, the sun, a Shrovetide doll, etc.

In a round dance game, you need to use holiday symbols

"Damn golden"

Children form a circle. Together with the teacher and the music director, they sing a song:

• Oh damn gold! You go around in circles
  You will find a friend for yourself, you will start a round dance!
  Masha, come out into the circle, start dancing,
  And we will clap, and we will stomp!
  Oh, damn golden, dance with me,
  You are blush, you are good, you look like the sun!
  Oh damn gold! You will go around in circles.

Simultaneously with singing, a cardboard pancake is passed around the circle. The child, on which the song ended, goes to the center and performs dance movements to the music. Then he bows, returns to the dance again, and the game is repeated.

"Kostroma"

A driver is assigned - "Kostroma", he becomes in the center. The rest of the guys move in a round dance, holding hands and talking with "Kostroma" to the musical accompaniment:

• “Kostroma, Kostroma, my sovereign!
  Kostromushka has jelly with a pie,
  Kostromushka has a cottage cheese pie!”
  Are you healthy Kostroma?
  Kostroma: "Healthy!"
  Children: "Where were you, Kostoroma?"
  Kostroma: "On the river!"
  Children: “What did you see, Kostroma?”
  Kostroma: "Suru duck!"
  Children: What are you doing now?
  Kostroma: "Now I'm catching you!"

After that, the children scatter (the round dance "crumbles"), and "Kostroma" seeks to overpower someone. The caught child himself becomes the driver.

"Round dance with a scarf"

Preschoolers should also be offered the traditional Shrovetide round dance game using a handkerchief. Shrovetide (an adult in the appropriate outfit) becomes in the center of the circle and pronounces the words:

• And I'm Maslenitsa, I'm not a stepdaughter,
  As I go with a handkerchief, so now I will come to you!
  A handkerchief lies on the shoulder, who will run faster,
  He will take a handkerchief from me and call spring to us!

Children pronounce the call (simultaneously go in a circle):

• Come spring, come spring! All of us will not sleep!
  Come with joy! Feed us all!

The round dance stops, Maslenitsa stands in front of two kids and points to them with a handkerchief. The guys stand with their backs to each other and, according to the signal, run in a circle in opposite directions. Of these, the one who runs faster and has time to take a handkerchief from Shrovetide will win.

Of course, for the game you need to use a scarf with a Russian national ornament

"We bake pancakes"

You can offer the children a fascinating round dance dramatization. The host offers to bake delicious pancakes:

1. In order for the stove to become hot, a fire should be made in it - the children depict it with loud applause.
2. Now I need a frying pan. It is round, so you need to join hands (preschoolers form a round dance). The pan should be heated hotter - the children dance to the sounds of a quadrille (the leader demonstrates the movements).
3. Pancakes are good with jam. The presenter is interested in what kind of jam the kids love and offers raspberry - the guys again take their hands and run in a circle to the song "Let's go to the forest for raspberries."
4. Pancakes can also be eaten with caviar. It is necessary to impose it, but more - all participants in the round dance are twisted into one huge lump (in a spiral, an adult goes ahead).
5. The host reports that the pancakes turned out nice, beautiful, and ruddy. To the music, preschoolers go in a circle, first in one direction, then in the other - depict pancakes.

To heat the pan hotter, the kids dance a mischievous quadrille

After such a dance, it would be ideal for the children to have a tea party with pancakes at the tables.

Shrovetide fun

Fun is not as dynamic as games. These can be improvisation tasks, creative competitions, competitions in reading poetry, guessing riddles. Parents of preschoolers can be actively involved in all this if they are present at the holiday.

"Skomoroshki"

For younger preschoolers, the fun "Buffoons" is suitable. Kids put on buffoon hats with bells and perform various tasks: they dance, show how a bear, goose, cockerel, bunny, fox walks, goat butts, the sun rolls across the sky, etc.

Kids put on buffoon hats and perform various tasks - they dance, show how a bear, a goose, etc.

"Iron"

Fun is already appropriate for older preschoolers. You will need a tong and a cast iron (but not heavy). The task of each participant is to carry it along the specified route (for example, a circle) and not drop it. It's not as easy as it seems at first glance.

It turns out that it’s not so easy to carry a cast iron without dropping the lid.

"Goat-dereza"

This is fun for kids of all ages. The teacher takes out the Goat, a Russian folk amulet doll, and asks the children what amusement they know about the goat. The guys, of course, begin to tell "There is a horned goat ...". At the end of the nursery rhyme, the adult “butts” the most serious and upset child with a goat.

The goat should amuse the most serious child - "gore" him

"Panicle"

Children stand in a row and pass each other a broom decorated with satin ribbons, paper flowers, spikelets, etc. All this happens to a fast melody. When the music stops, the broom is in someone's hands. This child will have to guess a riddle, tell a rhyme or sing a ditty about Maslenitsa.

Whoever has a broom in their hands must complete the task, for example, sing a ditty about Shrovetide

"Mail»

This is a Russian dialogue game that children should learn in advance:

• Host: Knock knock!
  Children: Who is there?
  Host: Mail!
  Children: Where?
  Host: Out of town!
  Children: What are they doing in the city?
  Host: clap your hands!

After the last words, the guys begin to clap their hands. Then the game starts again, only after the words "What are they doing in the city?" another task is given (they can be very different, very funny, for example, stand on one leg).

"Pancakes - cakes"

This is a fun and perky chants where there are no winners and losers. The guys are divided into two teams: one, on a signal, should shout “pancakes” in unison, the other - “flat cakes” (children always adore this). The proposed text is as follows:

• The winter was good, we see it off
  And we joyfully meet the warmth of spring.
  We bake pancakes with pripekom (hand sign in the direction of "pancakes") pancakes!
  And delicious (hand sign in the direction of "cakes") cakes!
  And fun, and together we clap our hands (everyone clap).
  The long-awaited oil week has come,
  And no one will count how much we ate.
  We ate (hand sign) pancakes!
  And (hand sign) cakes!
  And now let's spin around ourselves a little (everyone spins).
  Around songs, dances, laughter, noisy festivities,
  Every house appreciated the effort-effort,
  There are (hand sign) pancakes on the table!
  And next to it (hand sign) cakes!
  To get more into us - we jump on the leg (everyone jumps).
  Another circle around you (everyone is spinning)
  And clap your hands (everyone clap)

Fun related to drawing

Maslenitsa symbols can be played with in creative tasks related to drawing. For example, you can use the following options:

1. "Sun". The sun without rays is drawn on each of the two sheets of drawing paper. Preschoolers are divided into teams, each becomes about 5 meters from their drawing, one yellow marker is issued. On a signal, the guys run to their sheets one by one and draw the rays (each participant depicts one ray). The team that finishes first will win.
2. "Bake your own pancake." Just creative task without competition. Each preschooler is given a frying pan cut out of black cardboard, to which a yellow circle is glued - the silhouette of a pancake. The child must draw (with pencils or felt-tip pens) his own exclusive pancake. At the end of creativity, all pancakes are hung out for everyone to see.

The sun on the drawing paper needs to be made unusual, funny

"Pancake quiz" for parents

So that parents (if they are present at the holiday) do not get bored, you should involve them in dancing, and also offer a special “pancake quiz”. Each question has 4 possible answers:

The bright and cheerful Maslenitsa always warms and unites both children and adults. Kids from kindergarten should be instilled with a good tradition of having fun celebrating this holiday. A variety of games and fun can be offered to children both outdoors and indoors. The main thing is to focus on the national color and the main symbols of Maslenitsa.

Any Orthodox holiday has its own traditions and customs. The traditional celebration of Maslenitsa is one of the most fun and fun days of the year. In addition, Shrove Tuesday includes a variety of rituals and customs that are still customary to perform.

The culmination of this week is Maslenitsa. On this day, it is not customary to do household chores. It is necessary to gather in squares and parks, take part in numerous ordinary contests and games. A fun celebration of seeing off winter can be arranged on your own. To do this, you will need to prepare in advance a variety of games and competitions for Shrovetide for children and adults.
