Game "Bundle with a gift"

This game can be played by the whole family or a group of friends. Moreover, the more participants there are, the better. This game develops very valuable moral quality a person - the ability to share with others and the ability to abide by the given word and rules, the ability to rejoice at the success of another person and not perceive it as a personal defeat.

9:1191 9:1201

For the game, prepare:

1. Bundle. Take a small surprise and wrap it in paper. Secure with tape (clear tape). Then wrap it again in a layer of paper and secure it with tape again. And so on until you get a bundle of many layers of paper. Fasten the layers so that you can easily unfold them during play.

9:1811

2. Surprises for each player (picture, calendar, candy, nut or something else).

9:156 9:166

How to play:

Stand or sit in a circle. Three of you can play with your child. Or maybe in a large circle of acquaintances and friends. Turn on the music and pass the bundle to each other in a circle while listening to the music. When the music stops (you can either assign someone, such as grandma, to be “in charge of the music” or pre-record the music with pauses), the bundle stops.

9:834 9:844

The player who has it in his hands unties it. And then he passes the package with a surprise around the circle. The bundle becomes lighter and lighter, and no one knows when the layers will end and the prize will finally appear. With each step, it becomes more and more difficult for the child to pass the package and you really don’t want to give it away! But you have to share, because the rule of the game is to pass it on as soon as the music starts.

9:1576

At the end of the game, the last player - the “lucky one” - unwraps the package and receives a surprise!

9:180

But all players must also receive a little surprise so that the children can rejoice together.

Game "Traffic Light"

Mark two lines with a rope or line on the floor - the starting line and the line for the traffic light. One person in this game will be a traffic light. We choose him according to the counting rhyme.

10:1241 10:1251

The players stand at the starting line, and the traffic light stands on the other side of the room with its back to the players.

10:1425

The players’ task is to quietly approach the “traffic light” and touch it.

10:1564

The game ends when everyone has touched the traffic light.

10:105 10:115

How to play:

The traffic light counts to 10: “One, two, three, four, five” and suddenly quickly and unexpectedly says: “Red light,” immediately turning to the players.

10:421

Players must freeze in place at this signal. If the traffic light notices that one of the players is continuing to move, it sends them back to the starting line.

10:717

You can confuse players by changing the tempo of the count, making pauses. The game teaches children to manage their behavior and control their movements.

12:538

At these words, mom and Dasha should change places with each other, that is, mom should sit in Dasha’s place, and Dasha should sit in mom’s. At the same time, the presenter tries to be the first to take someone else’s place - either mom’s or Dashino’s.

12:941

Whoever is left without a place leads in the next game.

13:189 13:199

Have fun games and harmony and peace in your family! I really want to believe that games for the whole family will bring many joyful, bright moments into your life! I wish you success in carrying them out! Happy holiday!

13:538 13:548 I have known my closest friends since school. We were lovers of organizing holidays and events. Being mothers, our skills help us successfully organize any children's parties: wherever our families gather, fun for adults and children is guaranteed! In order for the children's holiday to be both fun and without abrasions, bruises and tears, you need to worry in advance about what it will be like entertainment program and organizing a children's party. You can invite professionals from a party agency, order clowns or a magician, design children's parties, but you can arrange entertainment for children on your own.

One of the main secrets of “success” is playing together. What does “joint” mean? Both adults and children participate in this game: the little ones are absolutely delighted because their parents are playing with them. And for an adult it is a rare opportunity to turn into a child and feel childishly happy.

Game "Guess what's in the bag?"

Put a lot of different things into a deep bag (you can have toys, stationery, small kitchen utensils (not piercing or cutting), jars, boxes - in a word, everything that is at hand in the room and the names of these items are familiar to playing children). Divide the playing children and adults into 2 teams. Choose a host and give him the bag. Players from each team take turns approaching it, putting their hand into the bag (you can’t look into the bag!) and, feeling for the object, must say what it is. After the name is said, the player takes this item out of the bag. If the answer is correct, the item is taken to the team. A time is set for the game, after which the team that has learned more items is declared the winner. Incentive prizes may include sweets or small toys. This game helps the child develop tactile sensations and associations.

Game "Piggy and Quack"

All participants sit on the floor in the room. One of the adults does not take part in the game - he will act as a “hint”. The driver “piggy” sits in the center, he is blindfolded and given a small pillow. When the “piggy” is blindfolded with a scarf, those sitting in the circle change places and remain silent. The driver tries to feel someone's knees with a pillow and when he succeeds, he says “oink-oink.” The participant who was given the pillow answers “quack-quack,” and the voice can be changed. “Piggy” must recognize the player by voice and say his name. If a child finds it difficult to name a name, an adult who is not participating in the game can help him with leading questions (tell him what color the “quack’s” hair is, what he is wearing, etc.) The driver is given 3 attempts. If he guesses the name of the “quack”, they change places. With the help of this game, the child learns to “recognize” the shades of the human voice and develops associative thinking.

Game "Funny Fantasy"

Each participant writes any word on a piece of paper. A leader is selected from among the adults. The leaves are dropped into the box, and the leader mixes them. Players sit in a circle and each pulls out a card with a word. One of the participants begins the fantasy with the phrase “Once upon a time” or “A long time ago” and comes up with a sentence that will contain the word written on the card he pulled out. Further clockwise, each player “continues the fantasy” with a sentence with his own word. The more participants, the funnier the fantasy. During such a game, you can get not only a lot of positive emotions, laughter and humor, but also observe your own child: you can find out how he feels about a certain object or phenomenon (the word on his card), what emotions and associations arise in him, how his abstract thinking develops.

Children's party at home: fun and entertaining games for children and adults. Ancient games from the 19th century, long forgotten and now being revived. Interesting ideas for a joyful mood during the holidays.

Soon New Year and Christmas! And of course, these days we meet with friends, family, go to visit, receive guests. Playing games at home is one of the oldest and traditional winter activities for children and adults. What games can you play with your children and friends? What did our great-great-great-grandmothers and great-great-great-grandfathers play in winter? How to give yourself and your children the joy of holiday and fun? Why does a child need fun, and not just “serious” educational games? You will learn about this from this article. And also take a trip to the 19th century by playing ancient pre-revolutionary children's games.

Children's holiday at home: why do children need fun games?

Educational games are something that every family now knows about, what they write about in magazines and books, and what they show in videos and TV shows. But fun games... Do we know any fun games for children? How often do we play them? Do we include them in our family holidays? For some reason, these fun games for children are often forgotten and are not so often found in modern families. It's a pity. After all, they not only create a special atmosphere of a family holiday, comfort, warmth, emotional support, interesting communication, but also develop the child no worse than “serious” educational games. And besides, it’s so nice to play with them for both adults and children! It is fun games that develop ingenuity, imagination, speed of reaction, flexibility of behavior, independence, the ability to quickly find a way out of a new situation and give the child a cheerful, cheerful mood - the basis for his successful development.

Why does a child need funny funny games? Why does a child need to play with other children or play in a friendly circle of children and adults? Why doesn’t “educational play” for a child “alone” (with a computer or with chips and a playing field) replace playing with other people? Let's look into history and find answers to these questions.

This is how Yegor Arsenievich Pokrovsky wrote about children's games in the 19th century in the book “Children's Games, Mostly Russian. In connection with history, ethnography, pedagogy and hygiene" (1887):

“There are also views that are practiced regarding education in some part of the public and have a significant impact harmful influence on the success of the development of children's games... Due to these views, for example, the fast, impetuous movements of children during play are considered impossibly rude, too provincial, and masculine; sincere fun in games, of which only children are capable, about whom there is even a saying “He rejoices like a child,” is considered completely inappropriate, indecent, trivial. Simplicity in clothing, which is mostly required for many free children's games, is also considered impermissible, degrading the child to the level of a craftsman, etc., and yet it is precisely dressed-up children, like dolls, according to a fashionable French magazine... and cannot be sent to play, because such clothes will interfere with freely running, wrestling, etc.

There is obviously no joy in the games of such children... Meanwhile, from absolute abstinence from games, look at what sad consequences can occur: children in this case do not learn, while playing, many techniques that are necessary and useful in life, they do not learn reasonable attitudes towards to their own kind, but in the end they often turn out strange, inept, often arousing only laughter and mockery at themselves. It is true that they say that “he is more likely to be cut with a knife who has not learned to handle it since childhood...” Along with this remark, let us recall the caustic mockery of the ancient Kornsad, who expressed the idea that the sons of rich parents do not know how to do anything except ride a horse, yes and this is because horses do not flatter them, but, on the contrary, immediately throw them off if they do not comprehend the art of riding. The deep meaning of this ridicule has been fully preserved to this day.

There are relatively few games that are designed for solo play; on the contrary, most games require the participation of more or less other children. In this distribution of games, without a doubt, lies the target, so that with their help, on the one hand, it is better teach children to communicate among themselves, mutual services, mutual preservation of their interests; on the other hand, to accustom one to the excitement of competition, mutual criticism, recognition of merits or shortcomings, encouragement of those who showed greater dexterity, art, dignity in the game, and vice versa, censure of those who somehow blundered in the game.

Often here a well-gifted child leads a less capable child, one helps the other to improve, and in the end everyone helps each other; but at the same time, everyone, in essence, remains in the same rights... In the end, all this leads children to closer mutual communication, unity and friendly work...

No family circle, no school can give anything like this, and yet in games this is achieved so easily and simply.”

Let's play! And let's give each other a good mood!

Fun games for children and adults: let's play together.

Children's games at home: ancient Russian games

Game "Twitch"

A “vodir” is chosen (now we call it “vodashchiy”, and children even now often speak in the old fashioned way with the emphasis on the first syllable - “voda”). The water guy is blindfolded.

The remaining participants in the game are players. In this game they are called "twitchers".

Rule of the game: Players are not allowed to leave their seats. If this rule is violated, the player becomes a “water man”.

Progress of the game: Vodir stands in the center of the room, blindfolded. Players enter the room and sit near the walls. Vodir begins to walk around the room.

The players attract the waterman’s attention and “tug” him. For example, they say “Turg-twitch” or rustle their feet on the floor or rustle their clothes in turns. Someone pulled the waterman by the hem. And then from the other side they whispered: “Derg-derg,” and after that new sound– someone slaps his knees. The waterman needs to guess who pulled him (that is, said or slammed or made some kind of sound). If he guessed right, he transfers his role to the puller. Then the twitcher, who has been solved, becomes the waterman in the new game.

The players' task is to confuse the waterman so that he cannot guess who it is. Therefore, they may speak in a voice that is not their own - squeaky or, on the contrary, bass, etc.

Game "Blind Man's Bluff at the Wall"

A very fun and funny game. Such a fun game is very good for the New Year! After all, it is carried out with a candle and in the dark. And it brings unforgettable impressions, laughter and joy. In addition, children love playing with shadows and coming up with their own options on how to “deceive” the game leader. Whoever they dress up as! And how they laugh when they are confused with... their mom or dad!!!

This is how this ancient game is played. In “blind man’s buff against the wall,” the presenter is not blindfolded; on the contrary, he will need to look very carefully “in both eyes.”

You will need a light wall (this could be a wall in the hallway or in the room). If your walls are dark, you can hang a sheet. A table or chair with a burning candle is placed at a distance from the wall. A chair for the driver is placed between the candle and the wall.

Players will walk past the candle behind the driver so that their shadow appears on the wall. Players take turns walking slowly along the wall, and the driver must guess from the shadow who has passed it.

All players try to confuse the driver. They can wrap themselves in a cloak, put on someone else’s hat, walk crouched to the floor or, on the contrary, walk on tiptoes, stretch their necks or retract them, hunch over, limp, bend over, intertwine their arms or legs, walk in pairs, etc. The player’s task is to figure out how to confuse the driver and how to pass without being recognized.

The driver is forbidden to turn his head back and look at the person and not at the shadow when guessing. If the driver makes a mistake, then he pays a forfeit (fulfills the task - tells a joke, sings a verse of a song, congratulates everyone, etc.). The driver is replaced when he has guessed one of the players or when everyone has passed.

For the game, I advise you to prepare the necessary simple items that you can dress up in - an old sheet to wrap yourself in, a beret or hat, a mask, a scarf, cardboard box, costume elements such as hare ears, etc. Or you can make it simpler - come up with your own “suit” for the game together and allow everyone to use all the contents of the closet.

Game "Even-odd"

A great game for sharing gifts or little surprises for guests.

Prepare small surprises in advance - candies, stickers, small calendars or pictures, badges or postcards, toys, pencils, cookies, waffles, etc. You can ask all guests to take some surprises with them and use them for a common game.

So, having collected all the surprises you brought and collected, we begin to divide them into piles. The piles will be different - some piles will have an even number of gifts, and some will have an odd number. The piles are covered with opaque scarves on top. This is an old version. And now we can simply put gifts in opaque bags - and then scarves are not needed.

We start playing gifts. The first player points to one of the piles and asks: “Even or odd?” The second player answers either “even” or “odd”. Let's count the gifts in this pile. If the second player guessed right, then he takes a bunch of gifts and asks the third player (along the chain): “Even or odd?” The third one answers, etc. In this game, kids will not only receive surprise gifts, but will also be happy to learn how to count gifts :).

Game "Okhlopok"

A very simple game. Everyone stands in a circle and throws a piece of cotton wool up (you need to fluff it up; throwing a roll of cotton wool is useless - it won’t fly:). The goal is to prevent the cotton wool from falling. The player near whom the clapper falls pays a forfeit (sings a song, crows, reads a poem, etc.). Therefore, everyone is trying to quickly blow the cotton away from themselves to their neighbor. The cotton flies either higher or lower, so the players either squat, then stand on tiptoe, or bend over. Usually the result is a very funny picture.

If there are few players, then the game is played at the table. They toss the cotton and keep their hands under the table. Next to whom the cotton “landed”, he pays a fine - a forfeit.

Game "Wing"

The driver is selected. The remaining participants in the game are players.

The players sit at a table and under the table in a circle pass each other an object tied to a thread. At the same time they say:

Oh, little wing, hurry up,

Don't falter and don't lose your temper,

Don't look from under the table

Otherwise there will be trouble.

You need to pass the object on a string in such a way that the driver does not guess who has the “wing.” Therefore, the players, even without a wing, pretend that they are passing it on, wink at each other and try in every possible way to confuse the driver.

At the last word in the text (this is the word “trouble”), the “wing” stops at one of the players. The driver's task is to guess who has the wing and where it stopped.

If he guessed right, then this player with the wing in his hands becomes the driver in the next game. If not, then the driver pays a forfeit. Redemption of a forfeit - a song, dance, riddle, congratulation or trick.

It is important not to break the thread when passing an item on a string. Whoever breaks the thread also pays a forfeit.

Game "Birds Fly"

All players sit in a circle at the table. One hand is on the table. The game host begins the story:

"I have traveled a lot around different countries. And I came to this wonderful conclusion: all living creatures covered with feathers fly. All birds fly." At the last words, the presenter raises his index finger up and everyone repeats after him. The rule of the game is reported: if it is a bird and it flies, then you need to raise your index finger up. Then the presenter continues: “And ducks fly (the driver and players raise a finger up for each correct phrase), and geese fly, and tits fly. And lions fly” Many players will automatically raise their fingers up. And they will be wrong.

The game must be played at a fast pace, alternating birds, animals, fish, insects (they also fly, but they are not birds, and therefore there is no need to raise a finger), flying objects - autumn leaves, arrow (no need to raise your finger, it’s not a bird)

Everyone who made a mistake pays forfeits at the end of the game and completes simple tasks.

Game "Pull and Let"

A very simple and very fun attention game, in which even adults often make mistakes and laugh from it. She is very funny and beautiful. You will need wide ones satin ribbons about a meter long. How many players are in the game - so many ribbons you need.

The host of the game stands in the center of the room, and the players sit on chairs around him. The chairs are placed in a circle. The driver in the center of the circle holds all the ribbons. He gives the other end of the tape to each player. Ribbons like rays of the sun go from him to the players.

The presenter quickly says either “Pull” or “Let”. What is the highlight of this fun game? The problem is that when you say “pull,” you have to release the tape. But for the word “let” you need to pull the tape, on the contrary! There will be a lot of mistakes!

In this game you can collect forfeits for mistakes. Or you can do the opposite - play for the winner, who will receive a small prize for not making a mistake.

Game "Change Apartments"

Everyone is sitting on chairs. The driver shouts: “Change apartments! Change apartments! At these words, everyone jumps up from their chairs and looks for a new place. And since the driver has already taken one place, there may not be enough space for someone. So everyone is in a hurry, running, in a hurry. Those who did not manage to take a seat pay a forfeit. As soon as the forfeit is paid, immediately (while everyone still has not had time to collect their thoughts) a new command sounds: “Change apartments! Change apartments!” The game is played at a fast pace.

Game "Plate"

Players stand or sit in a circle. Each player names himself after an animal. For example, “I am a hare.” “And I’m a fox,” etc. When everyone has remembered each other's new names, the game begins.

Take a wooden (old-fashioned) or plastic plate or bowl ( modern version) and twist it tightly so that it spins (Instead of a plate, you can use many other modern objects, for example, a roll of stationery tape. The main thing is that the object can be twisted)

As soon as the plate is spun, immediately shout out the name of one of the players. For example: “Hare, catch it!” The hare needs to catch the spinning plate before it falls. Now the hare spins the plate and calls the other player: “Bear, catch it!” etc.

This game develops reaction speed; all players need to be very agile, attentive and tenacious.

Anyone who did not have time to grab the plate pays a forfeit.

Game "Korchaga"

The driver in the game is the potter. It is covered with a scarf on top and planted in the center of the room.

A senior player is selected, who secretly gives names to all the other players. For example, the names of flowers: “You will be a daisy. And you are a rose. And you are a forget-me-not.”

The players stand around the pot. The older player calls them, calling them by the name of the flower. For example: “Chamomile, come here.” Chamomile approaches Korchaga and lightly touches his back with his hand, quickly returns to his place and claps his hands.

The senior player removes the handkerchief from the pot and asks: “Who held it?” If the driver guesses who touched him, then the guessed player becomes the grubber in the next game. If he didn’t guess right, then he’ll have to spend some time in the role of a potter.

Games - riddles, puzzles, charades, puns.

Such games have also been known for a long time and are ancient. They played them for forfeits. If you don’t guess correctly, pay forfeit and have fun with everyone. You can play in another way - for the winner who guesses the largest number of puzzles. Here are some tasks from the 19th century:

1.Why is a chicken more likely to eat a portion of oats than a horse? (Because chicken doesn't eat horses)

2. Is it possible for dogs to run into the room and eat up the entire floor? (pun: eaten = from spruce). Answer: Maybe if the floor is made of spruce.

3. “Young girls are willing to attend the first one; the second is not necessary for girls, but for boys it is necessary for many games. It’s really nice to leave the stuffy room” (Answer to the charade: ball + con = balcony) Other possible charades that you can easily compose yourself by analogy: comp + pass = compass. Steam + hell = parade. Deg+us=degree. Dexterity + bone = agility. Air + spirit = air.

Surprise

And then - a surprise for all readers of the site. And for me too :) I want to introduce you Sorokina Tatyana- a regular reader of "Native Path". Tatyana works as a speech therapist in Krasnodar. She prepared a small surprise gift for all of us - puzzles that can be given as a riddle at children's party and figure it out for yourself. Well, let's try to figure it out?

Puzzles for children and adults from Tatyana Sorokina.

Guess what words are encrypted in these puzzles. Couldn't solve the rebus? Write your question in the comments - Tatyana will tell you what it is. To be honest, I didn’t guess puzzle number 5 right away :). What about you?

They are mainly held as competitions between players or teams. The route and optimal distances are preliminarily determined experimentally.

1. Move by jumping while squatting or on a chair.

2. Running in sacks. The competitor climbs into the bag and, holding it by the edges, covers the distance by jumping.

3. Competing pairs hold the balloon with their foreheads and move.

4. Participants break into pairs, stand with their backs to each other and fold their arms across their chests. They have an inflatable balloon or ball behind their back. Couples move.

5. Jump the route on one leg, hitting the inflatable ball.

6. Two columns line up at the starting line. At the signal, the first numbers run, go around objects lying at a distance of 6-8 m. They return. At the start line, the second numbers join them (take them by the belt), etc. The team that crosses the start line first wins.

7. Everything is the same, only in reverse: the whole team runs first. They leave the last player at the starting line, run again, etc.

Don't touch me!

The players stand in a circle, holding hands tightly.

In the middle of the circle, skittles are placed in a random order, approximately 50 cm from one another (they can be easily replaced with empty plastic soda bottles). At the judge’s signal, each player, without unclenching his hands, tries to push his neighbors onto the pin. As soon as the first pin is knocked down, the game pauses. The pin is placed again, and the player who knocked down the pin is eliminated from the game.

The rest, holding hands, resume the game at a signal. It should be remembered that pushing is allowed only with your hands, without letting go of your neighbors’ hands. And one more thing: if a player, without dropping the pin, breaks the chain three times (by releasing his hand), he is eliminated from the game. Towards the end of the game, when the number of participants becomes small, you can reduce the number of pins and the distance between them.

Drawing on the back

How close are you to each other? Try to understand this with a simple game.

The leader must say a word in the ear of the last person in the row. Words should be simple, so that they can be depicted. For example: a house, the sun, a flower, a person, a table, etc. The last person must “draw” with his finger what the presenter said on the back of the previous person. The one on whose back they were drawing must understand what is being said and draw the same thing on the back of his neighbor in front. When a picture is “drawn” on the back of the first one standing in the line, he must tell the leader what was drawn on his back. The presenter compares the word he said to the last person and heard from the first. If the words match, then the players were able to feel each other’s train of thought. If not, then they need to show more trust in each other and be closer in communication.

Don't miss the ball

The participants of the game stand in a circle and put their hands on each other’s shoulders. The driver stands in the middle of the circle, with a ball at his feet. The driver’s task is to kick the ball out of the circle. The players’ task is not to let the ball out of the circle, but to hit it to the driver’s center. You can't separate your hands. Neither the driver nor those standing in the circle are allowed to cross the line. If the ball sent by the driver flies over the hands or head, the kick is not counted. But when the ball flies between the legs, the driver wins. He stands in a circle, and the one who missed the ball takes his place.

Electric current

Two teams stand in lines facing each other. Each team joins hands, forming a chain behind their backs, so that the other team cannot see their clasped hands. At the end of the chain there is any object - for example, plastic bottle, and at the beginning of the chain there is a leader who tosses a coin. Team captains, i.e. those who are first in the chain, carefully watch the coin (the rest only look in the opposite direction, i.e. they do not see their captain). If the “eagle” falls out, the captains transmit the current, that is, they quickly squeeze the hand of the person standing next to him, who then shakes the hand of the other, and so on until the end of the “electrical circuit.” The last one, having received a “rank”, quickly grabs the object.

The team that did not manage to grab him first undergoes a reshuffle. The one who was supposed to grab becomes the captain, and the former captain becomes second in the chain. The captain may make a mistake by rushing to “give current” ahead of time. In this case, the team also loses.

Chain

We determine the size of the territory in which the game will take place. At the beginning of the game, the leader is one person. He catches up with the fleeing participants. Having caught up with someone, he takes him by the hand, and they play the game together - they catch up with the next one and so on until a chain is formed. If there are many players, you can form 2 chains. When a chain of four people is formed, they are divided into pairs and everything is repeated.

Ball game

Participants are divided into two teams. The task of each team is to throw the ball to each other 10 times without dropping it. Players from the other team try to win the ball. If the ball falls or goes to the other team, the game and scoring start over.

Passengers - tickets

The group is divided into 2 equal teams, forming pairs. One is passengers (inner circle), and the other is “tickets” (outer circle). The leader stands in the center, and at his command the movement begins. Passengers turn to the right and run in a circle, and the “tickets” go to the left; Everyone sings the song “We are going, going, going to distant lands.” Suddenly the presenter shouts: “Controller!” The “tickets” stop in place, and passengers try to stand in front of the “tickets” (looking for a pair). The presenter, meanwhile, tries to get ahead of someone and take an empty seat in front of the “ticket”. The one left without a seat becomes the leader.

Three, thirteen, thirty

The players form a circle, standing apart from each other at a distance of arms outstretched to the sides. The driver stands in the middle of it. If he says: “Three,” all players must raise their hands to the side at the word “thirteen!” - raise them up at the word “thirty!” - put them on your belt (you can come up with other movements). The driver quickly calls any of the above numbers. The one who makes a mistake takes a step back, but continues to play. The one who remains in his place until the end wins. The driver can draw out the words: “Three-and-and-and...”.

Keep the ball flying

Everyone stands in a circle, holding hands. The task is to prevent the balloon from falling to the ground by pushing it with all parts of the body. After the ball falls once, it cannot be pushed with your feet, and so on until it can no longer be pushed with anything. You can complicate the game like this: settle on the first or second, the first push them, and the second hold them back. Or in another way: some hold their ball, others hold another, and you not only need to keep yours in the air, but also prevent the other team from doing the same.

Forest, swamp, lake

Draw a circle of such a size that all players fit into it, and 3 more circles at an equal distance from the first. The players become the first, and the rest get names: “forest”, “swamp”, “lake”. The presenter names an animal, bird or fish (you can agree and name plants). Counts quickly to the set number. Everyone runs and everyone stands in the circle that, in his opinion, corresponds to the habitat of the named animal or bird, then they return and start all over again. The word "frog" allows you to stand in any circle. Those who never make a mistake win. You cannot change the circle. If the person running is late and does not have time to step into the circle with at least one foot, he receives a penalty point.

Hide and seek in reverse

One participant is hiding, everyone else is looking for him. The one who finds the hidden person hides with him, and so on until only the seeker remains.

Burning forest

The task is to run from one edge of the field (along which the line is drawn) to the other. In the center of the field there are 3-4 drivers who salute those who are running. Those who have been greased stop where they were greased, spread their arms to the sides, imitating a burning tree (you cannot move from the place). The rest continue to run back and forth. Their task is complicated by the fact that they cannot touch the “burning trees”. The one who touched it stops and “burns.” The game can continue until there are 2-3 “unburnt” participants left. They will be the winners.

Salki - coins

Two teams lined up stand opposite each other at a distance of two meters. One of them is “heads”, the other is “tails”. The presenter tosses a coin and shouts out what came up. If it's heads, the heads run after the tails, and vice versa (usually confusion results). The team that is chasing must kill as many people from the other team as possible, and then the bad guys move to their team. You can save until the player reaches the pre-designated border. The game continues until everyone is on the same team, but this rarely happens, so play until you're exhausted.
