Press harder
Run away quickly!

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.

Jumps briskly without hesitation.

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.

First, the teacher introduces the children to various games, and in the future the children themselves, dividing into groups, will be able to decide what game they want to play. Games on fresh air have a beneficial effect on the development of the child’s body and strengthening the immune system. And the time of the walk flies by.

Our children spend a lot of time in front of computer screens and this happens through our fault. It's not too late to teach them how to play games that we loved as children and never got tired of.
These active games for children and they can be played outdoors, but some games can also be played indoors when the weather outside is bad.
“Hide and Seek”, “Catch Me”, “Thieves”, “Pack-Pack”, “Tent” - these simple games, which children can play outdoors in kindergarten, in the yard, on the lawn with a varying number of participants.
After reading the entire article, you will be surprised to find out how many outdoor games for children our children can play with the help of a little adult consultation. Even in kindergartens, children no longer play these games; it’s easier to ride on a swing or play in the sand. We make a big mistake when we abandon old outdoor games, because they develop physical abilities in children, personal qualities such as: a sense of justice, activity, honesty, attentiveness, the ability to share, determination, etc. and, very importantly, the ability to work in a team and communicate with each other.
Below we will show the most interesting outdoor games for children 5 years old and older that should not be forgotten.
Outdoor game "Country, we want soldiers!"
10-12 children take part in this outdoor game. They divide into two camps and stand face to face at a distance of approximately 6 - 10 meters. The players hold hands tightly. One of the teams shouts “Country, country we want soldiers!”, and the other team asks “Who?” The first team calls the name of one player from the opposite camp.
The player who was chosen runs to the enemy's wall and tries to break through. If he manages to break through this wall, he chooses and takes one player with him to his team. And if he failed, he should remain on that team. The team with more players wins.
Children's outdoor game "Ducks and Hunters"
In the considered active games for children, in which 10 or more children participate (the more, the better), 2 or 3 light balls are used. The guys are divided into 2 camps.
One team is located in the center of the field - ducks, the other opposite - on the sides - hunters. The distance between them depends on the age of the participants in the game so that they can throw the balls to the center.
Purpose of the game: remove a team from the center within a predetermined time. The moment the player from the center is hit with the ball, that player is removed from the game. But, if the player catches the ball, he has an extra life the next time he is hit. After the set time has passed, a record of the remaining members is kept. Then the teams change places and continue playing. The winner is the team that, based on the results of the games, managed to remove larger number rivals.
Children's game "Handkerchief"
At least 4-5 children play, more is possible. They stand on all fours in a circle with their eyes closed. One player, whom the guys chose, counting in a certain way, holds a handkerchief with one hand, walks outside the circle, singing along:
Lost my handkerchief
Mom will scold me
Who will find him?
Let him give it to me.
The handkerchief smells like perfume and is near beautiful girl.
After this, he leaves the handkerchief behind the girl or boy and prepares to run away. The guys open their eyes and look behind them. Whoever has the handkerchief runs to catch up with him, and the first one tries to run to his place. Then the game starts again.
Game "Stand still loaf"
The kids hold hands, walk in a circle at their convenience and sing:
Loaf, loaf,
Stay where the loaf is, -
And so on several times. When they finished, one of them shouts - stop. Everyone freezes in the position in which they found the stop signal. The one who can stand in this position longer wins. Kids have fun due to the different funny positions in which they have to stand.
"Tangled Threads"
All children of one kindergarten group can take part in the game, holding hands to form a circle. Then they tangle this circle, without separating their hands, using different techniques. One child, chosen by counting, remains outside the circle, with his back to the players, so as not to see the moves of the confusion. When the “threads are tangled,” this child tries to untangle the circle without separating the hands of the players.
Hush, hush - the cat is on the roof
3 or more guys take part in the game. One of them stands facing the wall and with his back to the other participants. Begins to say: Hush, hush, cat on the roof, observing different speeds of pronunciation. At this time, the remaining participants who stand behind the line begin to quietly approach him so as not to be noticed. As soon as the player finishes his speech and stops the game, he turns to face the children and returns those who crossed the line to their place. They play until someone manages to touch the wall during this time. In this case, they change roles and the game continues.
“Tsar, king, how many steps are you giving me?”
Several children are playing. One of them sits on a chair in front of the children, but with his back to them, at a distance agreed upon by all participants. Children take turns asking: King, king, how many steps do you give me? The king answers everyone according to his wishes. He can order:
Ant steps - one foot is placed in front of the other;
hominy - one jump on the spot while turning;
fish - one step forward;
giant - a big leap forward.
The king can also order steps back. After a certain time (10-15 minutes) the game stops. Whoever is closest to the king takes his place and the game continues.
"Jump rope"

On the command to start the game, the players stand on one leg and begin to push each other with their shoulders. If a player loses his balance and touches the ground with his other foot, he is out of the game. The team with the “roosters” left wins.
A simple outdoor game "Poison Bottle"
Several children gather. A commander is selected who will pronounce the words: Bottle, bottle with... (for example: with water, with milk). If he says the words - bottle, bottle of poison, all players scatter in different directions. Whoever the commander catches will replace him and the game continues.
Outdoor children's game "Robbers"

One hour passed, the robber did not come,
Two hours passed, the robbers did not come,
Three hours passed, the robbers did not come,
Four hours have passed, the robbers have COME!!!.

Outdoor children's game "Swallow, change the nest!"
Children, holding hands in pairs, stand face to face. Several such groups are being formed. In the middle there is a third participant who plays the role of a swallow (that is, together they form a nest). One participant (one “swallow”) is left without a nest. When the teacher announces: “Swallow, swallow, change the nest!” All the swallows “fly out” and each one is looking for a new nest, including the one that was without a nest. Thus, another player (another “swallow”) will be left without a nest until the next game.

We don't know what to feed him
Honey, but where to buy it,
Let him sit on someone.
Finishing the song, the children stop and squat down, and the one from the center (the bear) sits down on the lap of someone from the circle. He is asked:
What are you sitting on?, he answers - on a box.
And with whom do you want to change?, he answers - with a girl (or with a boy).
What is his (her) name?
If the blindfolded player (the bear) correctly names the boy or girl whose lap he is sitting on, they change places and the children can continue the game until they get bored.
Game "Countries"
Many active games for children need balls, jump ropes, flags, etc. For this game you need a ball. There are at least 4 players, the more the better. Each child chooses a name for himself - the name of a country (by agreement, you can choose the name of cities, pop stars, fairy tale heroes, etc.). One of the players who has the ball stands in the center and prepares to throw the ball up, calling one name. The one whose name was called must be attentive and catch the ball, while the others run away at this time. When the person who caught the ball shouts: “Stop the game!”, the children must stop. The player who catches the ball throws it at one of the players. Whoever the ball hits is eliminated from the game.
"Owl"
The players are free to sit on the court. The teacher says: “The day is coming, everything comes to life.” Children move freely on the playground, performing various movements, imitating with your hands the flight of butterflies, dragonflies, etc. Suddenly the teacher says: “Night is coming, everything freezes, the owl flies out.” All children must immediately stop in the position in which these words find them and not move. The “Owl” slowly passes by the players and vigilantly examines them. Whoever moves or laughs is sent to his “hollow” by the “owl”. After some time, the game stops, and they count how many people the “owl” has taken to itself. After this, a new “owl” is chosen from those who did not get to it.
"Children and the Wolf"
A wolf (leading) is selected. The rest of the children imitate the movements (picking strawberries and mushrooms in the forest). Children say:
The children walked through the forest, picked strawberries,
There are a lot of berries everywhere - both on the hummocks and in the grass!
But then the branches began to crack...
Children, children, don’t yawn, the wolf is behind the spruce - run away!
The children run away, and the “wolf” catches them. The caught child becomes a “wolf” and the game starts all over again.
"Swan geese"
A “wolf” and a “shepherd” are selected, the rest of the children are “geese”. On one side of the site there are “geese”, on the side is the lair of the “wolf”. The “shepherd” drives the “geese” out to graze in the meadow, then says:
- Geese, geese!
The geese stop and answer in unison:
- Ha, ha, ha!
Shepherd:
- Do you want to eat?
Geese:
- Yes Yes Yes!
Shepherd:
- So fly as you want, just take care of your wings!
The geese are flying home through the meadow, and the “wolf,” hearing the “geese,” runs out, trying to catch them. The “wolf” takes the caught “geese” to the lair.
"Crucian carp and pike"
One child is chosen as a “pike” and is located outside the circle. The rest of the players are divided into two groups: one of them - “pebbles” - forms a circle, the other - “crucian carp”, which swim inside the circle.
At the teacher’s signal: “Pike!” - the presenter quickly runs into the circle, trying to catch the “crucian carp”. “Crucians” are in a hurry to quickly take a place behind one of the players and sit down (“Crucians” hide from the “pike” behind pebbles). “The pike catches those “crucian carp” that did not have time to hide. The caught children go outside the circle. Then a new “pike” is chosen. Children standing in and inside the circle change places and the game is repeated.
"Sly Fox"
The players stand in a circle with their eyes closed. The teacher passes and touches the child. Children open their eyes and say three times: “Sly fox, where are you?” After this, the “fox” runs out into the center and says: “I’m here!” The children run away, and the “fox” catches them. Those caught move aside.
On one side of the room the children stand in one line, on the other, in a hoop, there is a driver. He stands with his back to the players and says: “Walk quickly, watch, don’t yawn!” At these words, the children walk towards the driver. As soon as he said: “Stop!”, the driver turns and looks at the children. Those who did not have time to stop return to the line. The game continues until one of the players gets into the hoop.
"Hares and the Wolf"
From the playing children they choose a “wolf”, the rest - “hares”. At the beginning of the game, the “hares” stand in their “houses”, the “wolf” is on the opposite side of the room. The teacher says:
Hares gallop, hop, hop, hop,
To the green, to the meadow, to the meadow,
They pinch the grass, eat it,
Listen carefully -
Is there a wolf coming?
Children jump and perform various movements to these words. After the teacher’s words: “Wolf!” - he comes out of the “ravine” and runs after the “hares”, they run away to their “houses”. The “wolf” takes the caught “hares” to his “ravine”.
"Potato"
The players stand in a circle and throw the ball to each other. The one who drops the ball sits in a circle, becoming a “potato”. When there are a lot of “potatoes” (more than 5 players), it begins to grow: the players in the circle join hands and gradually rise. It becomes more difficult to throw the ball over them, and then the “potato” is knocked out: one player throws the ball to another, who returns the ball and must hit the “potato”. If it hits, the player goes out, if not, the thrower becomes a “potato”.
"Empty place"
A driver is selected, the rest of the children stand in a circle with their hands on their belts. The driver walks around and says:
I walk around the house and look out the window,
I’ll go up to one and knock softly.
After the words “I’ll knock,” the driver stops and looks into the circle. A conversation takes place with a child standing in a circle: "Knock-Knock". – "Who's come?" The driver calls his Name. “Why did you come?” - "Let's run the race". After these words, both run around the children standing in a circle in different directions, trying to quickly return and take an empty place. Whoever gets there first takes the empty seat, and the latecomer becomes the driver.
"We are funny guys"
The site is divided into 3 parts. There is a “trap” in the central part. The players say the text in chorus:
“We are cheerful workers,
We love to run and play.
Well, try to catch up with us!
One, two, three – catch it!”
After the word “catch”, the children run to the other side of the playground, and the “trap” catches up with those running. The one who is touched by the “trap” before the player crosses the line is considered caught and sits down near the “trap”. After two or three runs, the caught children are counted and a new trap is selected.
"Blind Man's Bluff"
“Zhmurka” is selected using a counting rhyme. They blindfold him, take him to the middle of the room and turn him around several times. Conversation with him:
- Cat, cat, what are you standing on?
- In the kettle. (wooden utensil for kneading dough)
- What's in the kneader?
- Kvass.
- Catch mice, not us!
The players run away, the blind man's buff catches them. The “blind man’s buff” must recognize the caught player and call him by name without removing the bandage. He becomes a "blind man's buff".
"Mousetrap"
Participants are divided into two unequal groups. The smaller group forms a circle - a “mousetrap”. The rest of the children are “mice”; they are outside the circle. Children depicting a mousetrap join hands, raise their hands up and say:
Oh, how tired the mice are,
Everyone gnawed, everyone ate!
Beware, you rascals,
We'll get to you.
Let's set up mousetraps,
Let's catch everyone at once!
But at the last words they suddenly give up and one of the players is sure to be caught. The one who falls into the mousetrap joins the catchers. The mousetrap grows. The game continues until there is only one mouse left - the winner.
"Homeless Hare"
A hunter and a homeless hare are selected from among the players. The rest of the players are hares, draw a circle for themselves, and stand inside. A homeless hare runs away, and the hunter catches up with him. A hare can escape from a hunter by running into any circle, then the hare that was standing in the circle must immediately run away, because it will become homeless, and the hunter will hunt for it.
As soon as the hunter catches a hare, he himself becomes a hare, and the former hare becomes a hunter.
"Stream"
Selected driving, the rest are divided into couples, preferably of different sexes, and clasp hands. Couples stand behind each other, forming corridor and raising your hands up. The driver enters the formed corridor from one end and moves to the other end of the corridor, choosing a couple. He takes the person he likes by the hand, uncoupling the standing couple. New pair together we go to the end" stream" and stands there with his hands up. The released player becomes driving, goes to the beginning " stream"and goes into corridor, choosing a person for couples and so on. It is advisable to play the game in fast pace, it's more fun.
"Stone-wood-iron"
We need a site where there is an abundance of large objects made of stone, wood and metal. At the beginning of the game, everyone moves calmly around the court. At any moment, the driver names one of the materials: stone, wood or iron. After this, all players must stand up or grasp an object made of appropriate material. The driver has the right to catch everyone who couldn’t or didn’t have time. Those caught are eliminated from the game. The driver should try to catch as many people as possible. The driver who catches the most wins.
"Scarecrow"
A child is chosen - a trap. He stands in the middle of the circle and portrays a “scarecrow”: he stretches his arms to the sides. Children dance around him and say the words:
There's a scarecrow in the garden,
Stands day and night
And on the sides it
He looks day and night.
(scarecrow - looks around, turning his head, children - stop in place)
The birds will just appear -
It will make noise right away
(children clap their hands)
And when he gets angry -
He'll even run.
(children stomp their feet).
One, two - don't yawn,
Hurry up and catch up with the birds.
(the children run away, the scarecrow catches up with them)
"Tea, tea - help out"
A driver is selected, the players scatter, if the driver slaps someone, the player must freeze, arms outstretched and shout:
“Tea-tea-help out!”
Another player can run up to the “bewitched” person and touch him to “free” him. The “disenchanted” player is back in the game. The game ends when all players are enchanted. The driver is selected counting rhyme.
"Ring"
The players stand in a circle, holding their hands in front of the boat. One leader is selected. He has a ring in his hands. The leader walks in a circle and seems to put a ring in the hands of each child. At the same time he says:
Here I go in a circle, I put a ring for you all,
Hold your hands tightly and be careful not to yawn!
He quietly puts a ring on one of the children, and then leaves the circle and says: “Ring, ring, go out onto the porch!” The one who has the ring in his hands runs out, and the children must try to hold him back and not let him out of the circle. After the words: “Ring, ring...” - all players must quickly join hands so as not to let the player with the ring in his hand out of the circle.
The players stand in a circle. The driver goes into the middle of the circle with the ball. He throws the ball up and says someone's name. The child who was named runs after the ball, the rest of the children scatter in different directions. As soon as the named child picks up the ball, he shouts: “Stop!” All players must stop and stand motionless where the team found them. The driver tries to hit someone with the ball. The one at whom the ball is thrown can dodge, crouch, and jump without leaving his spot. If the driver misses, he runs after the ball again, and everyone runs away. Taking the ball, the driver shouts again: “Stop!” - and tries to hit someone again. The salted one becomes the new driver.
"Breaking Chains"
The players are divided into two teams. They stand in ranks, holding hands, opposite each other (at a distance of about 10-15 meters). One team shouts in unison: "The chains are forged, unchain us!" The opposite team asks: "Which one of us?""Chained" call the name of a player from the opposing team. The chosen one tried to break the human chain with a running start (it is important to choose the “right place”, which seems to be the “weak link”). If you manage to break the chain, the player returns to his team and takes with him one of the two “uncoupled” comrades. If not, the player joined the team just between the “links” that he was trying to break.
"Gardener"
The participants of the game sit in a row. Each participant chooses a name for himself (the name of any flower). The leader is selected by the reader and the “gardener”. The presenter tells the “gardener” the names of the flowers chosen by the players. The “gardener” says the words: “I was born a gardener, I was seriously angry, I was tired of all the flowers, except... (names any flower).” The one who called himself this flower runs away. The "gardener" catches up with him. If the “gardener” catches up with the “flower”, then the one running away becomes a “gardener”; if not, the “gardener” remains the same.
"Paints"
A “seller” and a “monk” are selected. The rest of the game participants become “colors”. Each “paint” communicates its color to the “seller” in an ear so that the “monk” does not hear. Colors should not be repeated. “Paints” sit down on the bench, “Monk” comes up to them and starts a conversation with the “seller”.
- Knock Knock.
- Who's there?
- This is me, a monk in red pants and a straw hat.
- Why did you come?
- For paint.
- For what?
- For... (names a color).
If there is no such color, he says: “We don’t have that kind of paint! Go home, think with your head." The "monk" returns home and then comes a second time. The conversation begins again. If there is paint among the players, then the “seller” says:
- “You have a hundred rubles on you and quickly run after her!”
“Kraska” runs away, “monk” tries to catch up with her. If the "monk" catches it, the "paint" becomes the "monk" and the game starts over. If not, then it continues.
"Traffic light"
A platform of 10x20 meters and a driver are selected. He stands in the center of the site, the rest are at one long edge. The driver announces a color that at least one player (except the drivers) has. Everyone who has this color in their clothes or somewhere else walks to the other end of the site calmly, showing this color. Those who don’t have a color break through the area “fighting”, the driver has the right to smear them, and then join the other players, and the smeared one becomes the driver. You cannot run out of the area.
"Day Night"
A flat area without objects that interfere with free and safe movement is suitable for playing. At the beginning of the game, a driver is selected. He turns away from the other participants in the game and loudly announces: "Day!" The players are having fun, jumping and running around the court. According to the rules of the game, you cannot stay still. After a while the driver says: "Night!" At this moment, the participants in the game must instantly “fall asleep” - freeze in the position in which the “night” command caught him. The driver looks around, and if he notices a player who did not have time to “fall asleep,” he loudly announces this, indicating what kind of movement he noticed. The loser becomes the driver....
"Dodgeball"
Two are drawn on the ground parallel lines at a distance of 5-6 meters from each other. You can also draw side lines to create a rectangle. You are not allowed to leave the site. Two players stand behind the line, opposite each other, and the remaining players in the center, between them. The driving players throw the ball to each other, trying to hit the central players and “knock them out”.
"Golden Gate"
Two players are selected who stand opposite each other, hold hands and raise them up, forming a “ gates" The remaining players stand in a chain (hold hands or put their hands on each other's shoulders) and pass under the goal. The gate players chant:
Golden Gate
They don't always let you in
Says goodbye for the first time
The second one is prohibited
And for the third time
We won't miss you!
On the last words gates they suddenly lower their hands and catch those who are under them. Those caught form new “gates”. The game ends when all players are caught.
“We won’t tell you where we were, but we’ll show you what we did.”
All children are divided into 4 teams. Each of them agrees on what movement they will show and how. The first team comes out and says: “We won’t tell you where we were, but we’ll show you what we did,” and they depict some action. Children from other teams try to guess, 1 point is given for the correct answer. Then the rest of the teams also come out. The team that scores the most points will win.
"Burners"
The players become pairs. A line is drawn in front of the column at a distance of 2-3 steps. One of the players - the driver - stands on this line, holding a tambourine in his hands. Everyone standing in the column says: “Burn, burn clearly so that it doesn’t go out. Look at the sky - the birds are flying, the bells are ringing! One, two, three – run!” After the word “run,” the children standing in the last pair run along the column (one on the right, the other on the left), trying to touch the tambourine faster. The driver forms a pair with the one who was first and stands in front of the column. The one who plays becomes the driver.
"Ocean is shaking..."
The players stand in such a way as to occupy the entire territory, and the leader turns his back to them. Participants, swaying from side to side, imitate the movements of sea waves and repeat in chorus after the leader the following words:
“The sea is agitated once, the sea is agitated twice, the sea is agitated three times, sea figure, freeze in place!”
Children should then freeze in place. Then the presenter approaches each of the players in turn, touches him with his hand, thereby turning him on and giving the command to “freeze”, after which the child begins to move, depicting his plan. All the other kids, led by the leader, must guess by naming what they see. The best one becomes the leader.
"Tail of the Dragon"
The players stand one after another, holding the person in front by the waist (as if forming a dragon/snake). The one in front is the dragon's head, the one in the back is the tail.
The “head” of the dragon tries to catch its “tail”, and the “tail” must dodge the “head”, while all other links of the dragon/snake must not disengage.
When the front player catches the back player, the one caught becomes the head. The rest can be swapped at will.
The game has no definite ending and no winners.
"Fox in the Chicken Coop"
On one side of the site a “chicken coop” is outlined. In the “chicken coop”, “chickens” sit on a “perch” (on benches). On the opposite side of the site there is a “fox hole”. The rest of the place is the “yard”. The driver is chosen - “fox”, the rest of the children are “chickens”. “Chickens” walk and run around the “yard”, pecking grains, flapping their wings. At the teacher’s signal: “Fox!” - the “chickens” run into the “chicken coop” and climb onto the “perch”, and the “fox” takes the player who did not have time to escape into his “hole”. The game resumes. You can repeat the game with another “fox”.
"Cosmonauts"
There are circles drawn on the court, there is one less of them than there are players. Children (“cosmonauts”) stand in the middle, holding hands and walking in a circle, saying:
Fast rockets for walking around the planets are waiting for us.
We’ll fly whichever one we want!
But there is one secret in the game: there is no place for latecomers.
With the last word, the children let go of their hands and run to take their places in the “rockets”, those who did not have time remain at the “cosmodrome”, and those who are sitting in the “rockets” take turns telling where they are flying and what they see from the “portholes”. .
"Third wheel"
From the total number of players, two are chosen: one of them is the driver. The rest of the players stand in pairs, one after another, facing the formed circle (the circle can be drawn on the playing area with a diameter of 5-6 m). You can only run in a circle, but you cannot run across it. The first player moves 3-4 steps away from the driver and begins to run away. The driver must catch up with him and “stain” him. In order not to be “stained”, the running player can stand in front of any pair and say: “Third is a wheel!” (“Three are too many, two are enough!”). After these words, the last person in the pair begins to run away from the driver. If the driver manages to catch up and “harass” the fleeing player, then they change roles.
"Carousel"
Children form a circle, holding the cord with their right hand, walk in a circle, first slowly, then faster and start running. Movements are performed in accordance with the text:
Barely, barely, barely, barely,
The carousels are spinning
And then, around, around,
Everybody run, run, run.
After the children run 2-3 laps, the teacher stops them and gives a signal to change the direction of movement. The players turn around and, grabbing the cord with the other hand, continue walking and running. Then the teacher says with the children:
Hush, hush, don't rush!
Stop the carousel!
One-two, one-two,
The game is over!
"Cucumber"
The game begins with the child - the driver - being away from all the other children. The players squat rhythmically and say: “Cucumber, cucumber, don’t go to that end. A mouse lives there and will bite your tail off.”. When the words end, the guys run away in different directions, and the driver begins to catch them. The driver can run only after all the words have been said; he can catch “cucumbers” only to the designated place. The game is repeated several times, each child can try himself in the place of the driver... For older children, the rules of the game can be a little more complicated, for example, the driver can be blindfolded with a thick cloth or run away from the driver in pairs.
"Hali-halo"
Children stand in a circle and choose a leader using a counting rhyme. The driver picks up the ball and asks the rest of the guys a word. Usually they say which category the invented word belongs to and its first and last letter. Children begin to guess the word. As soon as the driver hears the correct answer, he shouts “Hali-halo”, throws the ball up as high as possible, and runs away. The child who guesses the word correctly catches the ball and shouts “Stop.” The driver stops. The player must guess how many steps there are to the driver. But the steps are not easy (giant, Lilliputian, frog, camel, umbrella). The child with the ball takes the specified number of steps and throws the ball into the ring, which the driver makes with his hands. If the ball hits the ring, the player becomes the driver and the game continues.
Children playing stand in circles drawn on the ground. The driver approaches the player and asks: “Where are the keys?” He answers: “Go to (name), knock.” During this conversation, the players try to change places. The driver must quickly occupy a circle that is free during the dash. If he cannot borrow a mug for a long time, he can shout: “I found the keys!” All players must change places, and the driver takes someone’s circle. A child left without a place becomes a driver.
Games for older preschool children
Tag
Material. Colored bandage (ribbon).
Progress of the game. Children are located in different places of the playground (its boundaries are indicated by flags). The tag assigned by the teacher or chosen by the children, having received a colored bandage (ribbon), stands in the middle of the playground.
After the teacher’s signal “Catch!” all the children scatter around the playground, and the tag tries to catch up with one of the players and touch him with his hand. The one he touched moves aside.
The game ends when the tag catches 3-4 players.
When the game is repeated, a new tag is selected.
If the tag cannot catch any of the players within 30-40 seconds, the teacher must appoint another driver.
Swan geese
Progress of the game. A wolf and a shepherd are chosen from among the players. The rest of the children are geese. On one side of the site there is a line behind which there are geese. This is their home.
A place is outlined on the side of the site - a wolf's lair.
The “shepherd” drives the “geese” out to graze in the meadow. "Geese" walk and fly across the meadow.
Shepherd. Geese, geese!
Geese (stop and answer in unison). Ha, ha, ha!
Shepherd. Do you want to eat?
Geese. Yes Yes Yes!
Shepherd. So fly!
Geese. We are not allowed:
Gray wolf under the mountain
He won't let us go home!
Shepherd. So fly as you want!
The “geese,” spreading their wings (with their arms extended to the sides), fly home through the meadow, and the “wolf,” hearing the geese, runs out and crosses their path, trying to catch them (touch them with his hand).
The “wolf” takes the caught “geese” to him. After 3-4 runs, the caught “geese” are counted. Then a new wolf and shepherd are chosen, and the game is repeated.
Instructions for the game. When the teacher first plays the game, he tells the children that geese walk in the meadow, nibble grass, while they bend down, stretch their necks, and when they fly, they spread their wings (raise their arms to the sides).
Cat and mouse
Progress of the game. The players stand in a circle. A cat and a mouse are chosen. The “mouse” stands in a circle, the “cat” stands behind the circle. The rest of the children, holding hands, walk in a circle and say:
Little white Vaska walks,
Vaska's tail is gray,
And the arrow runs.
The eyes close.
The claws are straightened,
Teeth like a needle.
Only mice will scratch
Sensitive Vaska is right there,
He will catch everyone.
After the words “he will catch everyone,” the children stop, and at the appointed place in the circle, two children raise their hands, leaving a passage - a gate. The “mouse,” running away from the “cat,” can run through the gate and crawl under the arms of those standing in the circle. The "cat", trying to catch the mouse, can only run into the circle through the gate. When the “cat” catches the “mouse”, other children are chosen to fill these roles, and the game is repeated.
If the “cat” cannot catch the “mouse” for a long time, the teacher arranges an additional gate.
Game option. While children are walking in a circle, the cat can be in the center of the circle, and the mouse outside it. When pronouncing the second verse, the cat performs movements according to the text - closes its eyes, straightens its claws, etc.
We are funny guys...
Progress of the game. Children stand on one side of the playground or against the wall of the room. A line is drawn in front of them. A line is also drawn on the opposite side of the site. To the side of the children, approximately halfway between the two lines, there is a trap assigned by the teacher or chosen by the children.
The children recite the text in chorus:
We are funny guys
We love to run and play.
Well, try to catch up with us:
One, two, three - catch it!
After the word “catch!” the children run to the other side of the playground, and the trap catches up with them. The one who is touched by the trap before the player crosses the line is considered caught and sits down near the trap.
After 2-3 runs, the caught ones are counted and a new trap is selected.
Directions for the game. A new trap is chosen even if the previous one does not catch anyone.
The teacher makes sure that the children do not chant the text, but pronounce it expressively.
Carousel
Material. Cord.
In the game version: hoops.
Progress of the game. The players form a circle. The teacher gives the children a cord, the ends of which are tied.
Children, holding the cord with their right hand, turn to the left and say the poem:
Barely, barely, barely, barely
And then around, around,
The carousel started spinning.
Everybody run, run, run.
In accordance with the text, the children walk in a circle: first slowly, then faster, and in the end they run. While running, the teacher says “be-zha-li, be-zha-li.”
After the children run in a circle 2 times, the teacher changes the direction of movement, saying “turn!” The players turn in a circle, quickly grabbing the cord with their left hand, and run in the other direction.
Then the teacher continues with the children:
Hush, hush, don't rush!
Stop the carousel!
One-two, one-two!
The game is over!
The movement of the carousel becomes gradually slower. At the words “the game is over!” children lower the cord to the ground and disperse around the playground.
After the children have rested a little, the teacher rings three bells or hits the tambourine three times. The players rush to take their places on the carousel, that is, they stand in a circle and take the cord. The game resumes. Those who do not have time to take a seat before the third bell do not ride on the carousel, but stand and wait for a new boarding.
Game option. The Carousel game can be played with hoops. Each person holds onto two hoops with one hand and the other, forming a closed circle. All movements are made in the same way as with the cord.
When children leave the carousel, you need to make sure that they place the hoops on the floor carefully, then when you repeat the game you can quickly pick them up and form a circle again.
Mousetrap
Progress of the game. The players are divided into two unequal groups. A smaller group (about a third of the players) forms a circle - a mousetrap. The rest depict mice. They are outside the circle.
Children depicting a mousetrap hold hands and begin to walk in a circle, left and right, saying:
Oh, how tired the mice are,
It was just passion that separated them.
Everyone gnawed, everyone ate,
They are climbing everywhere - here is a misfortune.
Beware, you rascals,
We'll get to you.
Let's set up mousetraps.
Let's catch everyone at once!
At the end of the poem, the children stop and raise their clasped hands up. The “mice” run into the mousetrap and immediately run out from the other side. According to the teacher’s words “clap!” children standing in a circle lower their arms and squat - the mousetrap is considered slammed. Mice that did not have time to run out of the circle are considered caught. They also stand in a circle (the size of the mousetrap increases). When most of the mice are caught, the children change roles and the game resumes.
Directions for the game. The teacher makes sure that children pronounce poetry expressively, quietly, making logical accents, without chanting every syllable.
At the end, we should note the most dexterous mice who never stayed in the mousetrap.
Crucian carp and pike
Progress of the game. One child is chosen to play the role of pike. The rest of the players are divided into two groups: one of them - pebbles - forms a circle, the other - crucian carp, which swim inside the circle. "Pike" is located outside the circle.
At the teacher’s signal “pike!” she quickly runs into the circle, trying to catch the crucian carp. The “carp” are in a hurry to quickly take a place behind one of the players and sit down (they hide behind the pebbles). The “pike” catches those “crucian carp” that did not have time to hide. Those caught go outside the circle.
The game is played 3-4 times, after which the number of crucian carp caught is counted. Then a new pike is selected. Children standing in and inside the circle change places and the game is repeated.
Have time to run
Material. Cord 3-4 m long.
Progress of the game. The teacher and one of the children holds the cord by the ends and slowly rotates it towards the running children. Children, one after another, must have time to run under the cord at the moment when it is at the top.
The teacher regulates the children's movement; For each person running, he gives the signal “Run!”
In the future, the children themselves must follow the movement of the cord and run when it is at the top.
Whose team is most likely to assemble
Material. Flags of 3-4 colors (according to the number of players); 3-4 large flags of the same colors; tambourine.
Progress of the game. Children are divided into 3-4 groups with the same number of players: each group is given flags of the same color. At different ends of the site or on one side, 3-4 flags of the same colors are placed on stands. Each group forms a column in front of a flag of its own color.
When the players line up, the teacher hits the tambourine and the children begin to walk, run, and jump around the playground in different directions. The movements change depending on the rhythm and tempo given by the teacher.
At the signal “to your places!” children run to their flag and line up in a column (facing the flag). The teacher notes which group lined up first.
Instructions for the game. After 2-3 repetitions, the game can be complicated. At that moment when the children are running and jumping, the teacher says “stop!” At this signal, all players stop and close their eyes. Meanwhile, the teacher changes the places of the flags and says “to their places!” The children open their eyes and rush to line up in a column opposite their flag. The teacher notes which column was built first.
Sly Fox
Progress of the game. The players stand in a circle at a distance of one step from each other. The teacher asks everyone to close their eyes. The children close their eyes, and the teacher walks around the circle (behind the children’s backs) and touches one of the players, who becomes a sly fox. Then the teacher invites the children to open their eyes and carefully look to see which of them is the sly fox, and whether she will give herself away in some way.
The players ask in chorus 3 times (with short intervals) - first quietly, and then louder: “Sly fox, where are you?” At the same time, everyone looks at each other. When all the players (including the sly fox) ask for the third time: “Sly fox, where are you?”, the “sly fox” quickly goes to the middle of the circle, raises his hand up and says: “I’m here!”
All the players scatter around the site, and the “fox” catches them. Those caught, that is, those whom the “fox” touched with his hand, move aside.
After the fox has caught 2-3 children, the teacher gives the signal “circle!” The children form a circle again, and the game is repeated.
Who is more likely
Material. Jumping (according to the number of children).
Progress of the game. Children with jumping ropes in their hands stand in a line on one side of the playground so as not to interfere with each other. A line is drawn 15-20 steps from them. At the agreed signal, all children simultaneously jump towards the line. The teacher marks the children who were earlier at the line.
Jumping rope
Material. Rope (cord, long rope).
Progress of the game. Two children hold a thick rope, cord or long rope: one at one end, the other at the other. Slowly and evenly, they begin to twist it towards the standing children, and they, in order of priority, jump over the rope, trying not to touch it. The one who touches him changes one of those twisting the rope.
Directions for the game. In the game, you can give children certain tasks, for example: “Who can jump 5-10 times without making a mistake?”
Shepherd and flock
Material. Gymnastic bench (slats); eye patch.
Progress of the game. On one side of the site, a sheepfold is fenced off using a gymnastic bench or slats placed on cubes.
A shepherd is chosen from among the players. The rest are sheep. The “shepherd” is blindfolded. He stands not far from the sheepfold and says: “Sheep, little sheep, here I come.”
The “sheep” take turns jumping over the fence, approaching the “shepherd” and asking him: “Shepherd, shepherd, how many steps do you give me?”
Each time the “shepherd” names a number (up to 10). The “sheep”, moving away from the shepherd, counts the appropriate number of steps and stops.
When all the “sheep” have dispersed, the “shepherd” asks: “Where is my flock?” All the “sheep” respond: “Be, be, be...” - then fall silent.
The “shepherd” begins to look for the “sheep” - he follows their voices, and the “sheep” stand in their places. When the “shepherd” touches someone, he says: “Sheep, little sheep, who are you?” “Sheep” replies: “Be, be, be.” The “Shepherd” must guess who it is. If he makes a mistake, all the “sheep” begin to bleat and one of them takes the “shepherd” to the sheepfold and returns to his place.
The “shepherd” asks again: “Where is my flock?” And the game continues until he recognizes the caught sheep. Then he takes off the bandage and becomes a lamb, and the “lamb” becomes a shepherd.
Don't stay on the floor (on the ground)
Material. Various items 25-30 cm high: stairs with steps, boards placed on a raised platform, low boxes, benches, logs with a diameter of at least 25 cm; eye patch (white cap); tambourine.
Progress of the game. In various places of the site (room), closer to its boundaries, prepared objects are located. A trap is selected. They put a bandage on his arm. Children are placed on elevated surfaces in different areas of the playground.
To the beat of the tambourine, children jump and run or jump around the playground, depending on the tempo and rhythm given by the teacher. The trap takes part in the general movement. At the teacher’s signal “Catch!” all children again climb onto the placed objects (elevations). The trap catches those who did not have time to jump onto the dais. Those caught sit to the side.
After the game is repeated 2-3 times, those caught are counted, a new trap is selected, and the game resumes.
Instructions for the game. The teacher makes sure that the children jump off the platform with both feet and land softly, bending their knees, and also that the children scatter throughout the area, away from the objects they must climb on.
Fishing rod
Material. Cord 2 m long; a bag of sand weighing 100-200 g.
Progress of the game. The players stand in a circle at a distance of arms outstretched to the sides. In the center of the circle there is a teacher with a cord, to the end of which a bag of sand is tightly tied - this is a fishing rod. The teacher takes the free end of the fishing rod in his right hand so that its length is equal to the distance from the center of the circle to the feet of the players.
The teacher rotates the cord so that the bag slides along the floor. Those standing in a circle jump up at the moment when the bag approaches them, and try to avoid the bag touching their feet. The teacher, when circling the cord, turns with it or stands still, transferring it from hand to hand (in front and behind the back).
The one hit by the bag is considered a loser. The game continues until the cord has made two full turns.
The teacher counts who the bag hit and how many times, after which the game resumes.
Rules of the game. You can touch your leg with the bag no higher than your foot. The winners are those who are never hit by a fishing rod.
Directions for the game. Before the game starts, the teacher checks how the children are jumping.
The length of the cord increases or decreases depending on the size of the site and the number of players.
Snow circles
Material. 2 plywood sheets with targets drawn on them with a diameter of 50-60 cm; snowballs (6-8 times the number of children).
Progress of the game. Children are divided into two equal groups of 4-5 people in each. Two targets are attached to the fence. A line is drawn at a distance of 3 m from the targets. Each group lines up opposite its target behind a line that is not allowed to be crossed.
Each player has 6-8 snowballs.
At the teacher’s signal “start!” Each group throws snowballs, trying to fill their circles with them as quickly as possible. If the children don’t have enough snowballs, they make them right there. The group that covers the circle with snowballs first wins.
Ball school
Material. Small ball (one or more).
Progress of the game. A small ball is given for the game. Children play alone, in twos and in small groups. The player performs the given movements in order. Having successfully dealt with one, he moves on to the next. If a child makes a mistake, he passes the ball to another. When continuing the game, he starts with the movement in which he made a mistake.
Types of movements:
1. Throw the ball up and catch it with both hands. Throw the ball up and, while it is flying, clap your hands in front of you.
2. Hit the ball on the ground and catch it with both hands. Hit the ball on the ground, simultaneously clap your hands in front of you and catch it with both hands.
3. Stand facing the wall at a distance of 2-3 steps from it, hit the ball against it and catch it with both hands.
4. Throw the ball against the wall, wait for it to hit the ground, bounce off it, and then catch it.
5. Tap the ball on the ground up to 5 times alternately with your right and left hands.
Skittles
Material. Skittles; wooden ball.
Progress of the game. The pins are placed in a row at a distance of 3-5 cm from one another. At a distance of 1.5-3 m from them a line is drawn - the end. The playing children (3-4 people), in order of priority (it is set by the children themselves), go to the line of the horse and roll the ball with force, trying to knock down the pin. Knocked down pins are removed. The winner is the one who knocks down more pins with the agreed number of balls.
Instructions for the game. The distance between the pins, as well as from the pins to the stake line, increases gradually.
Skittles can be played both indoors and outdoors.
Catching balls with nets
Material. At the corners of the drawn square (100x100 cm), four posts 50-60 cm high are dug in, on which a cup (15 cm in diameter) is secured with an elastic band, a cord is passed through its bottom so that it is convenient to grasp it, small light balls are placed in the cup from table tennis (according to the number of players); nets (according to the number of players).
Progress of the game. This game is played on the court. Children (2-4 people) stand with nets on the sides of the square. Someone pulls the string forcefully, the cup flies up and throws out the balls. The players catch them with nets without leaving their spot. The teacher marks the children who caught the balls, and the game resumes.
Instructions for the game. If there are many people who want to play, they agree on how many times one team repeats the game (2-3 times).
In the game you can use regular nets, but the sticks need to be shortened to 20-30 cm.
Throw on a ring
Material. Plot or plotless ring throws (2-6 pieces); rings (3 times the number of participants).
Progress of the game. In older groups, both plot and non-plot ring throws are used: 2-6 pegs on stands of different shapes.
Children throw rings from a distance of 1.5-2.5 m.
The game can be played with a group of children (4-6 people). Children receive three rings and take turns throwing them, trying to land on any peg.
The teacher notes which of the children will throw the most rings.
Game option. Children take turns throwing rings until someone scores the agreed number of points (6-10).
Dashes
Material. Snowballs (according to the number of participants).
Progress of the game. On one side of the site, a house is separated by a line; at a distance of 5-6 m, a second line is drawn, behind which there is another house. Another line is drawn along one of the sides, perpendicular to the houses.
The players are divided into two groups (squads, no more than 6-8 people in each). Children of one squad stand along the line of any house. Another squad is placed along the sideline; There are two snowballs at the feet of each child. At the teacher’s signal, the first squad runs from one house to another. The children of the second squad take one snowball each and throw them at those running. Those hit by the snowball move aside. At a new signal, children run across to reverse side, those standing on the sideline throw a second snowball at those running. The greasy ones also move aside this time.
The teacher notes which of the children of one and the other group was more dexterous, brave, and accurate. After this, those temporarily out of the game return to their squads. The units change places and the game resumes.
Instructions for the game. Snowballs for the game can be prepared in advance and put in a pile where the children will take them, or you can sculpt them right there before the game starts. To establish the order (which squad should run and which should throw snowballs), you can use counting rhymes.
Who is faster to the flag?
Material. 4-5 flags.
To make the game more difficult: stands with a rope stretched at a height of 60 cm.
Progress of the game. All players sit on chairs. At a distance of 5-6 steps from the edge of the playground, a line is drawn, behind which 4-5 children stand.
On the opposite side of the site, at a distance of 18-20 steps from the line, a chair is placed opposite each person, on which a flag is placed. The chairs are on the same line.
At the teacher’s signal (strumming a tambourine, or clapping, or the words “one, two, three - run!”), children run to the flags, take them, lift them up, and then put them back. The teacher notes which of the children raised the flag first.
Then all those running sit on chairs, and in their place the next 4-5 people stand across the line.
The game ends when all children run after the flags once.
Instructions for the game. When children have mastered this version of the game well, it is recommended to add complication. On the way to the flag, stands with a rope are placed. Children crawl under it without touching the ground (floor) with their hands, straighten up and run further to the flag.
Squirrels in the forest
Material. Gymnastic wall; portable climbing devices: double ladder, pyramid with trailing boards and ladders, benches, boards placed on large cubes, and other climbing devices.
Progress of the game. The game is played on a court or in a room where there is a gymnastic wall. In addition to it, portable climbing devices are placed.
The driver is chosen - the hunter. He stands in a house - a circle drawn in the opposite part of the area or room. The rest of the players are squirrels, they are placed on ladders, benches, etc. - trees.
At the teacher’s signal “Beware!” or hitting a tambourine, all the “squirrels” change places: they quickly get off, jump off ladders, benches, etc. and climb onto others. At this time, the “hunter” catches them - touches them with his hand.
The “squirrels” that the driver hits with his hand while they were on the floor, as well as those that remain in their original places, are considered caught. They go to the hunter's house and miss one game.
The teacher notes those squirrels who were brave and dexterous. The game is played 5-6 times. New Hunter is selected after 1-2 games.
During the game, the teacher makes sure that the children use different climbing devices and do not jump from too high a height.
Firefighters in training
Material. Gymnastic wall 2-3 bells.
Progress of the game. Children playing are divided into 2-3 groups of 5-6 people and lined up in columns against the gymnastic wall at a distance of 4-5 m. These are firefighters, they must be able to quickly climb stairs.
A bell is hung on the top rail of the gymnastics wall opposite each squad.
At the teacher’s signal (a word or a blow on a tambourine), the children standing first in the column run to the gymnastics wall, climb it, ring the bell, get off and stand at the end of the column. The teacher gives the signal again; the next pair or three runs, etc.
At the end of the game, the teacher notes the more dexterous “firemen” who are already quickly climbing the stairs. After this, the game repeats.
Instructions for the game. During the game, the teacher should be near the gymnastics wall, making sure that the children do not miss steps or jump when climbing (he agrees on this with the children before the start of the game).
Entertainers (in an even circle)
Children stand in a circle. The teacher appoints one of the players as an entertainer. He is in the middle of the circle. Children follow the instructions of the teacher to the right or left under the following text:
In an even circle,
One after another
We are going step by step.
Stand still
Together together
Let's do it... like this!
At the end of the text, the children stand at arm's length from each other.
The entertainer shows some movement, and everyone standing in a circle repeats it. Then the teacher replaces the entertainer or the entertainer chooses someone instead of himself, and the game continues.
Each entertainer must come up with movements himself and not repeat those that have already been shown before him.
Cap and stick
Material. Wand; cap with tassel.
Progress of the game. The players form a circle. The driver is selected, he receives a wand and stands in the middle of the circle. The teacher puts a beautiful cap with a bright tassel on his head.
The cap is pulled down to the child's nose and covers his eyes without touching them. Children, holding hands, run in a circle and say: “One, two, three, four, five - the stick will knock.” At this time, the driver, squatting, taps the stick on the floor.
With the last word, the children stop, and the driver extends the stick towards the children. The one to whom the stick pointed takes hold of its end and calls the driver by name, and the driver guesses who called him. Then the game continues with a new driver.
Make a figure
Progress of the game. A leader is selected from among the players and stands aside. The rest of the children run and jump from foot to foot all over the room (playground). At the teacher’s signal (strumming a tambourine or the word “stop”), everyone stops in some position and does not move.
The presenter goes through all the “pieces” and chooses the one he likes best. This child becomes the driver-evaluator, and the previous driver joins the rest of the children, and the game is repeated.
Get to your places quickly
Material. Small objects, such as blocks (1 less than the number of children).
Progress of the game. Children stand in a circle at a distance of arms outstretched from each other. The place of each player is marked with some object, for example a cube, which is placed on the floor.
At the teacher’s signal “run!” or when the tambourine is hit, children leave the circle, walk, run or jump across the entire playground (room). Meanwhile, the teacher removes one of the items, thus depriving one child of a place. When the tambourine is struck or after the “take your places” signal, all children run in a circle and take any place. To the one left without a place, the children say in unison:
Vanya, Vanya (Masha, Olya, etc.), don’t yawn,
Take a seat quickly.
When the game is played for the last time, the teacher puts the cube back so that all children have a place.
Who will collect more
Material. Homogeneous small objects: cones, cubes, balls, etc.; 2-3 baskets (buckets).
To make the game more difficult: blindfold.
Progress of the game. Uniform small objects spill out on the floor or on a flat area.
2-3 children are selected from among those playing, and they are given baskets or buckets. At the signal “one, two, three!” They begin to collect cones (balls, cubes), while they are allowed to take only one object in their hand.
At the signal “stop!” collection of items stops. The teacher counts who scored more. Then other children compete. The game can be repeated as many times as there are people willing to participate in it.
For more dexterous children, who are more likely to be winners than others, the game can be complicated: ask them to collect objects blindfolded.
Who has the ball?
Material. The ball has a diameter of no more than 15 cm.
Progress of the game. The players form a circle. The driver is selected. He stands in the center of the circle, the rest move close to each other, everyone’s hands are behind their backs.
The teacher gives someone a ball (diameter no more than 15 cm), and the children pass it around in a circle behind their backs. The driver tries to guess who has the ball. He says “hands,” and the person he is addressing must put both hands forward, palms up. If the driver guessed correctly, he takes the ball and stands in a circle, and the one who has the ball begins to drive.
The game is repeated until the children's interest in it runs out.
Ring on a stick
Material. A ring made of cardboard or plywood with a diameter of 15 cm with a rim width of 3-4 cm, a cord, a stick approximately 30 cm long.
Progress of the game. A cord is tied to the ring, the second end of which is attached to a stick.
The players take turns tossing the ring and catching it on a stick. Each player has the right to make 3 attempts in a row and counts how many times he managed to catch the ring. Then he passes the wand with the ring to the next one. The game ends when one of the children scores the agreed number of hits. 3-5 children can play.
Fleas
Material. A box containing 20 plastic circles (fleas) of 4 colors with a diameter of 12-16mm and a thickness of 1-1.5mm; 4 bits of different colors with a diameter of 20-22 mm.
Progress of the game. The players (4 people - according to the number of bits) take 5 circles and one bat of a certain color from the box.
The box is placed in the middle of the table and a line of stakes is drawn not far from it. The table is covered with something soft (for example, a tablecloth).
The players take turns placing their fleas on the stake line and, pressing the edge of the bat on the edge of the flea, make it fly up and fall into the box. The first one to get his five fleas into the box wins. By pressing the bat on the flea with different forces, you can adjust the length of its jump.
Pilots
Material. The game is played on an area where there are shelters (bushes, hills, trees), propellers of 3 colors (one less than the number of participants); 3 flags (one of each color).
Progress of the game. On one side of the site there is an airfield on which 3 groups of children - pilots - are located separately from one another.
The pilots have propellers of a different color attached to their chest for each group.
On the opposite side of the site is a place with shelters where planes will fly. The “airfield manager” designates which group of aircraft will fly first. The “pilots” of the assigned group start their engines and, at the signal from the “chief” (waving the flag), take off. At this moment, the “pilots” remaining at the airfield are resting - turning their backs to those departing. Having flown around the circle, the “pilots” continue their flight further, and each one lands in different places under one or another cover. After this, the “chief” transmits: “Get ready to search for planes!” All the “pilots” are getting ready to set off: they pump up gasoline, start the engines, and at the signal from the “boss” (waving the flag) they fly out in search.
Having found the “pilots” from the first group, everyone returns back. Then another squadron of aircraft is assigned to the flight, and so on.
Rules of the game. The group of “pilots” appointed by the “chief” takes off. You can't peek where the planes are hiding. The one who was found flies to the airfield and waits for all the “pilots” to gather.
Instructions for the game. The signal to fly is given by a flag corresponding in color to the propellers of this group. The signal can also be given with the words “prepare the blue planes for flight!” or “get the red planes ready to fly!” and so on.
To make the game more harmonious, it is necessary to explain to children that after the signal to start the search, those hiding should remain behind their shelters until they are found, and not change places endlessly.
This game should not be turned into a regular competition for the fastest return to one’s place or for the largest number of aircraft found by each individual, etc. It is important to create a mood of community and mutual assistance in children and to convey in the game the courage and care for each other that is characteristic of our pilots.
Sharks
Material. A small elevation of about 40 cm, it can be made from boards or snow.
Progress of the game. Children are divided into two unequal groups: sharks (2-3 participants) and sailors. On a large ship (built from planks, snow or painted on the ground) there is a “captain”. He watches the “sailors” swimming in the sea (the children jump off their ship and run around the site, spreading their arms as if swimming). "Sharks!" - the captain shouts. The “sailors” quickly board the ship, and the “sharks” rush after them. Having not caught anyone or, conversely, having taken their prey, the “sharks” swim off to the sea, and the “sailors” jump into the water again, swim and dive. So the game is repeated several times.
Rules of the game. Catch only after the word “sharks!” Sharks are not allowed to enter the ship. Those caught are taken aside and miss one game.
Directions for the game. The game is very simple in rules and can be played with children of a mixed age group.
For relaxation, you can introduce the following addition: a storm rises at sea, sharks hide at the bottom, and the sailors sit on the ship and listen to the story of the captain or one of the crew.
Brave tourists
Material. Rope. The game should be played on the court on a sunny day after a snowfall.
Progress of the game. Before the game starts, the teacher says:
— Yesterday I read in the newspaper that several people climbed the high, high Mount Elbrus. It was difficult and scary to get up. But brave tourists were not afraid of danger. To prevent anyone from falling into the abyss, they tied themselves with a long rope and reached the very top of the mountain. Come on, gather here, brave tourists! This snow bank will be Elbrus. It will take us a long time to get to its top through uncleared snow, through those paths, past the slide, through the tunnel (shows the route around the site). Here's a rope for you. But we will not become attached, but will only take hold of it and hold on tightly. I'll go ahead. You are all behind me. Try not to fall wherever we go. Let's see who never trips and lets go of the rope.
Children, holding the rope with one hand, follow the teacher. At the end of the game, the teacher marks the most dexterous ones.
Rules of the game. Look at your feet, walk slowly, without pushing. Don't let go of the rope.
Instructions for the game. For such a game you need to choose a sunny day after a snowfall. When repeating the game, the travel route can be changed. When ascending and descending, you should slow down your steps, taking into account those coming at the end. Weaker children should be placed closer to the teacher, since it is more difficult to walk at the end of the chain.
Wonderful ball
Material.“Wonderful” ball (a ball consisting of parts screwed onto a screw-shaped rod); colored flags. During the game, children read a poem by M. Evensen.
Progress of the game. Children go traveling and take with them a ball that shows them the way. One of the children rolls the ball, trying to roll it away. And everyone says:
Ball, ball, don't be lazy,
Turn wherever you want!
Roll fast, roll at a pace,
Along the path, along the potholes,
Along the highway,
And we, little ball, are behind you.
Everyone, standing still, watches how the ball has stopped: if the ball has turned red towards the children, they need to cross the mountains (children crawl on all fours through caves or walk one after another, as if on a narrow board, placing the heel of one foot against the toe of the other) ; if the ball turns blue to the children, they need to swim across the river (they run through it, waving their arms); if the ball stops with the stripes forward, the road ahead is good and you can walk along it.
By rolling the ball in different directions one at a time, children travel throughout the room or area.
Rules of the game. Perform movements depending on the agreement: blue color - river (you need to run), red - caves (you need to crawl or walk like on a board), stripes mean a convenient pedestrian road (you need to walk calmly, etc. You can start moving only after that as the ball stopped.
Instructions for the game. If the ball has stopped too far and no color is visible, someone is sent to investigate with colored flags. He raises a flag of the appropriate color and thereby indicates movement.
You can come up with a different path designation and other movements. For example, introduce driving cars (running in small steps), swimming place (running with arm movements, as in swimming), crossing on horses (jumping from foot to foot), crossing on boats (sitting on a bench, tilting the torso forward and backward and move your arms as if rowing).
On the way, you can arrange a stop: sit by the fire (in a circle) and sing a song, lie on the grass (on the carpet), etc. This will serve as a break from movement.
It is important in this game to create a special creative mood, to captivate children with these images, to make the meaning of this game clear.
Firefighters
Material. Helmets and belts with hatchets made of cardboard or plywood (according to the number of people in the team), steering wheel, bell, bench.
Progress of the game. There are several fire brigades. They consist of a signalman, a driver and 3-5 firefighters (each group of children assigns roles themselves). Each team knows its number well so that they know who to go to the fire if there is a call.
While waiting for a call, the “firemen” relax in the club (sit on benches or chairs or walk along the edge of the site). They can do whatever they want: play different instruments (make appropriate movements), walk in the park (walk along the playground), read newspapers or books (sit and hold their palms in front of them as if it were a book), etc.
The “duty person” (teacher) goes to the phone (to a toy or simply puts one fist to his ear), finds out where the fire is (conducts an imaginary conversation on the phone out loud), then loudly announces: “First team! There’s a fire in the house over there, behind the hill!” (points to some structure, tree, etc.).
The “firemen” from the first team run to the bench where the things are, quickly put on helmets and belts, move the bench closer to the fire site, the “driver” with the steering wheel sits on the front edge of the bench, everyone else is on both sides of it with their backs to each other, and The “signalman” stands behind on the bench and rings the bell. “R... r... r...” the “machine” roars, “ding, ding, ding,” the “signalman” calls. We've arrived.
Everyone quickly runs to the burning house. Some pump water (holding hands facing each other, then moving their arms to the sides, then lowering them); others dismantle the roof with axes (they hit the snow or a building depicting a burning house with their axes); still others pour out the fire (they pretend to have a fire hose in their hands). Then the “signalman” calls the team to the car and, in the same order as they arrived, the “firemen” return from the fire. They quickly put the bench in place, take off their belts and helmets, carefully place all their things on the bench and go to the club. The “duty person” calls another team, and the game continues until everyone has been to the fire 1-2 times.
Rules of the game. Only the team that is called can go to a fire. Firefighters must remember the specified order of departure and return and carefully place all things on the bench.
Instructions for the game. If there is a sufficient number of things needed for the game, you can simultaneously send two teams, and sometimes even three, to the fire. The latter is much more difficult and is only possible in a well-organized group.
There should be variety in the tasks given to firefighters. For example, you can warn that a fire has occurred in a multi-story building and you need to blow the jet higher (raise your arms higher, climb onto a ladder or podium, etc.). The locations of fires at different ends of the site should be indicated. If the children know the numbers, you can make numbers and hang on the wall the number of the team that is called to the fire. If there are buildings on the site, you can use them in this game.
Games can be diversified, for example: instead of relaxing in a club, you can depict how firefighters are sleeping (sitting with their eyes closed), in winter - skating, sliding along ice paths, and in summer - how they are riding bicycles (jumping from foot to foot along the paths) .
This game can also be played indoors if you have a large, spacious room.
If the game is played outdoors in winter, you can do without helmets or make them out of paper and put them on top of children’s hats (so that they do not fly off the head, you need to sew on an elastic band).
frogs
Material. During the game, children read a poem by A. Barto.
Progress of the game. A large rectangle is outlined on the ground - this is a river. The banks are drawn on both sides, with hummocks on them (circles outlined at such a distance that it would not be difficult to get from the hummock into the water, i.e., into the outlined rectangle, in one jump).
The “Crane” sits in its nest, and the “frogs” (the rest of the children) sit on the hummocks and begin their concert:
Here from a hatched rotten place
A frog splashed into the water.
And, puffing up like a blister,
She began to croak from the water:
“Kwa, ke, ke, qua, ke, ke,
It will rain on the river."
As soon as the “frogs” say their last words, the “crane” flies out of the nest and catches them. The “frogs” are not given, they jump into the water, where the “crane” is not allowed to catch them.
The caught “frog” remains on the hummock until the “crane” flies away and until all the “frogs” come out again.
After the “crane” catches several “frogs” (for example, 3-4), a new crane is selected from among those children who have never been caught.
Children squat on the hummocks and can swim (run inside a circle) in the water. You can only get back onto the bump by jumping.
Rules of the game. You can start moving only after the children finish saying the poem. Catching “frogs” is allowed only outside the river - on a hummock or between them behind a rectangle. Every third person caught by the “crane” changes roles with him.
Directions for the game. From the hummocks to the river it is approximately 45-55 cm. It is necessary to show the children that this distance must be jumped in one jump. The crane's nest must be nearby, otherwise it would not be able to catch the frog.
It is necessary to ensure that the first rule is observed, since when speaking a poem, children rest after jumping. It should also be explained to children that the “frogs” do not jump from the water onto the hummocks until the “crane” flies away. This way, the game regulates the jumping, otherwise the children will get very tired.
The image of a crane needs to be drawn so vividly for children that they themselves, in their own way, depict it in its movements: how it walks on long legs along the shore, looking for frogs, what a long beak it has, etc.
Horses
Material. Board, stick.
Progress of the game. Children are divided into two unequal groups: grooms (1/3 of the children) and horses (the rest of the children). A place is outlined - a stable. There are “horses” in the stable. The “grooms” are sitting on a bench nearby. The “senior groom” (teacher) approaches a board placed on a bench or hanging from a tree, and beats 15-18 blows on it with a stick. During this time, the “grooms” quickly bring out their pair of “horses,” harness them and line up in threes one after another. The “senior groom” checks whether the “horses” are well harnessed. “But, let's go!” - he commands. The area is filled with running threes. Each “groom” drives his horses either at a trot or at a walk. “The horses got scared!” - says the “senior groom”. The “horses” scatter around the site. The “grooms” are catching up with them, trying to quickly lock all the “horses” in the stable. Then the “grooms” sit down to rest on a bench. Children change roles and the game resumes.
Rules of the game. You need to have time to harness the “horses” while the blows are being struck on the board. Signals must be obeyed. In the field of the words “the horses got scared” you can catch any “horse”. A horse brought into the stable must not run away.
Instructions for the game. This game is a complication of the usual horse game. Grooms are designated either by choice or by counting. The "head groom" gives signals in such a way that the children have enough time to move, but so that they do not get tired.
As a recreation, you can introduce the following addition to the game: “grooms” examine the horses, feed them, and clean them. The roles in the game change after each “horses” return to the stable.
Bear and children
Material. In the game version: any object depicting a honey pot or a beehive.
Progress of the game. One of the children is chosen to play the role of a bear. He sits in his den (a rectangle or circle drawn on the edge of the area). All the players portray children who go into the forest to pick mushrooms or berries (they walk around the playground, bend over as if looking for and picking berries).
“The bear is coming,” the teacher suddenly says. “Don’t move.” The “bear” comes out of the den and carefully examines everyone. He takes those who move to him. Having bypassed everyone, the “bear” goes into his den, and the children continue to pick berries again.
The game ends when the “bear” catches the agreed number of children (4-6).
Rules of the game. The “bear” does not leave the den until the teacher gives a signal. Children must stop in the position in which the signal found them. The “bear” takes away those who move.
Instructions for the game. If the game is played in a room where there is a carpet, children can lie down to escape from the “bear”. It will be have a good rest after movements. If there are a lot of people playing, you can choose 2 bears who must catch all the children. This option is easier.
Game option. When a few children are caught, the rest go to rescue them.
In the opposite part of the playground or room, one of the uncaught children places an object that should represent a pot of honey or a beehive (if there is nothing suitable, it can be drawn on the ground). Approaching the honey, the “bear” sticks its paw into the pot or beehive 3 times and feasts on the honey (pretends to eat, smacking its tongue and turning the paw first with the outer side, then with the inner side). If during this time the caught children manage to run from the den to the house (marked on the ground opposite the den), they are saved; if not, the “bear” catches them again. Then a new bear is chosen and the game starts all over again.
Directions for the game. This option makes it possible to change roles in the game more often and foster mutual assistance. The distance between the house where the children live and the den should be twice as large as from the den to the hive, so that the children have time to “help out.” It is better if the “bear” stands with his back to those running away from the den. You can come up with other ways to “rescue” those caught.
Hunter, hares and dogs
Progress of the game. The play area depicts a forest clearing where hares (children) live. Hare minks (there are several of them) are located around the clearing at some distance from each other. “Hares” live in burrows of 4-6.
The “hunter” walks with his dogs (several children) and looks out for a “hare” running somewhere. And the “hares” sit quietly, quietly, hiding in their holes. The “hunter” with the dogs goes into the house (an appointed place away from the minks).
“Hares” jump out into the clearing, jump, and can even gallop very close to the hunter’s house.
Suddenly the “dogs” started barking and ran out. They were released by the “hunter” who had previously kept them in the house (the teacher holds their hands to allow the “hares” to come very close). The “hares” quickly run away to their burrows, where the “dogs” cannot reach them. The caught “hares” are taken to the “hunter” (and they miss one game).
The game continues until the agreed number of “hares” is caught (approximately 4-5). Then new dogs are chosen and the game starts all over again.
Rules of the game. "Hares" jump all over the clearing; The closer they get to the hunting house, the braver they are considered. “Dogs” run out of the house to catch “hares” only when the “hunter” sends them. Caught “hares” do not run out of the hunting house. You can escape in any hole.
Instructions for the game. You can introduce a special additional rule: dogs are chosen from among the bravest and best at jumping (in this game the role of dogs is especially attractive), this will encourage children to watch themselves and not give in to the “dogs”. The game can be played both on the site and indoors. In winter, hare holes can be made of snow, in the form of small snow fences (three sides blocked, one left for entry). In summer, you can make minks out of pine cones, pebbles, or draw them on the ground with a stick.
The role of the hunter is played by the teacher, since he is less attractive to children and is most suitable for leading the game.
To encourage children to be brave, you can draw a vegetable garden near the “hunter’s” house, where “hares” will come for carrots and cabbage.
In this game, each character has his own rest time: for the “hares” - when the “hunter” walks with the dogs in the forest, for the “dogs” - when the “hares” are jumping.
You can gradually complicate the game by introducing the following rules: “hares” can only escape in their own hole, “dogs” rush to catch “hares” only when the “hunter” says “take it!” Final Rule requires a lot of endurance. It’s easier for children when the teacher himself restrains them and sends them out to catch them.
Following the example of this game, you can conduct various games of hunting different animals, while introducing a variety of movements. For example, you can hunt monkeys that escape by climbing trees (children climb a ladder), etc.
