Home games for children, schoolchildren, preschoolers. Games for home. Funny birthday contests for kids Games for a home party

What do you do at home when the whole family gathers, or just one of the parents stays with the child? Do you play active or board games? Or do you sit separately at computers and tablets? And what does the child do with brothers, sisters and friends? A great way to unite in a tight circle and cheer each other up is to play one or more games, live, human, noisy and funny or calm and intellectual. Whatever game you choose, it will give you positive emotions and lots of benefits.

What to play at home with children 5-6 years old?

When a child is alone, the easiest way to take him, of course, is with some kind of puzzle, magnetic constructor, coloring, plasticine. And this is only if he does not sit uncontrollably with a prefix or gadget. And let's sometimes play with him with the whole family, and often call little friends so that we can play hide-and-seek and interesting games for attention, for example, this one:

Ear - nose (from 3 people). The host calls the parts of the body, and the children must point to them. He himself will also point to his part of the body, but perhaps not to the one he named, so the children should follow the words of the leader, and not his gestures. Whoever made a mistake performs a phantom: tells a rhyme, dances, depicts some kind of animal.

If there is an opportunity to make some noise and have fun at home, leave the ball in a circle in the games “Hot Potato”, “I Know Five Names”, “Edible-Inedible”. Collect and try not to drop wooden tower Jengu or Firewood. Lay out cards and grab a log for speed in the Wild Jungle or the Bear.

So that the child, even alone, wants to play not at the computer, you can give him a few puzzles, depending on his interests. And first try to complete tasks with him, and then give him complete independence. And be sure to praise him for the right tasks, even if he was engaged in a puzzle instead of brushing his teeth or cleaning the room. Praise, and then do the right things together. Here are some of the most popular puzzles:

  • Color code (for children 5-6 years old, the easiest level is suitable)
  • Shy rabbit (you need to hide the rabbit according to certain rules)
  • IQ-element and Quadrillion (you won't be able to tear yourself away from them),
  • Labyrinth (the most voluminous puzzles are liked by younger children),
  • Tangos (there are a lot of them, you can start from the age of 6 and not stop).

And children of 7-10 years old with active games will not blow the house?

In general, they won’t smash them, they are not raccoons. But take them outside! In good weather, you can throw a Frisbee, and intertwine in Twister, and play a couple of matches in badminton. On the street, it’s even better than at home to drive a car or a helicopter, shoot from a safe weapon - nerfs. If you are at least 10 people, you can even play at home great game on attention and concentration: "killer".

Rules of the game. The participants stand in a circle, close their eyes, the leader explains the rules and imperceptibly touches one or two people on the shoulder. They become killers. All participants open their eyes and begin to walk back and forth in a small space, looking into each other's eyes. To "kill" a person, the killer must wink at him. But it is important to do this discreetly, because if two "civilians" suspect a killer in one person, they can decide him - point at him with their hands and put him in the same place where all the "killed" go.

Yeah, a bit like the mafia, which has both a classic adult and a toothy childish version.

And in small companies for 3-5 people, for example, when the family gathers at home after work or on a day off, you can sit down for an hour and a half for several batches of cool tables. A big plus of board games is that they are both fun and often no less strategic, mystical and adventure than computer games. But at the same time, they have live communication, the exchange of positive emotions that unites people, as well as benefits, because board games develop many necessary skills. If you have just begun to distract your child from the computer, try giving him the following games:

  • 7 by 9, Svintus, Uno - simple and fun, boys of 6 years old will already be delighted, especially those who love simple computer games, "timekillers",
  • Carcassonne and Colonizers - for lovers of history, games in the accumulation of resources, development and division of territories,
  • Jackal Treasure Island , Pirate Maps , Pirate Munchkin - very different games for those who usually use gadgets to go on pirate adventures, steal treasures, fight monsters.

To talk to a child who is used to silently playing at a computer, but in life either communicates little, or it is simply difficult for him to formulate thoughts out loud, there are games for children 6-10 years old: quizzes, Crocodile Children's Light, Imaginarium Childhood, Children's Activity, Friday, Danetki.

And a little more carbon monoxide and cynical games for older children:

Julia Maznina

Sometimes circumstances develop in such a way that the child is forced to spend most of the day at home: the mother is busy or the weather is not at all walking. But for normal health and development of the child, both physical and mental, he must move a lot during the day. Is it possible to arrange outdoor games for children at home so that the child gets his portion of the movement, and the house remains intact? Can. In addition, playing outdoor games with a child at home, you can teach him not only new movements, dexterity and body control, but also combine motion games with role-playing and educational games. But first things first.

At home, you can organize a lot of outdoor games:

Gymnastics and games at the sports complex

One of the most simple options outdoor games at home is gymnastics, only you need to do it in a playful way, adding some kind of plot to make it interesting for the child. You can beat nursery rhymes or poems. For example, like this:

Monkeys(from 1 year)

Early in the morning in the meadow

(I.p.: we squat. We get up, raising our hands up, as if the sun is rising)
So the monkeys frolicked:
(Bounce on two legs several times)
Right leg top, top
(Stomp with right foot)
Left foot top, top!
(Stomp with right foot)
Hands up, up, up!!! (pull both arms up)
Who will rise above all???
(We get up on our toes and stretch even harder up)

Homka, Homka, hamster(from 1 year)

Homka, Homka, hamster -
(Puff out cheeks)
Striped barrel.
(Hands on the belt, we perform tilts to the sides)
Homka gets up early
(Stretching, raise your hands up)
Washes cheeks, rubs neck.
(Three cheeks with both hands, then neck)
Homka sweeps the hut
(Imitate sweeping)
And goes to charge.
(Marching)
One, two, three, four, five -
(Hands to the sides, rhythmically bend the arms at the elbows)
Homka wants to become strong!
(Press the brushes to the shoulder, straining the muscles of the arms, as if showing how much strength they have)

Classes at the sports complex can also be accompanied by some plot or beat poems.

Taxi in Wonder City(from 2 years old)

Turn the sports complex into a city. Gift paper bags with handles can act as houses. The inhabitants of the city are little toys. Hang the bags at different levels of the Swedish wall, rope ladder, rope (if the child knows how to climb a rope). You can stick an image of its resident or an inscription on each house if the child can read. Invite your child to become a bus or a taxi car and take the inhabitants of the miracle city home. In order to keep both hands of the child free to climb the sports complex, the passengers can be placed in a pocket on the child's clothing.

In a pack of monkeys(from 2 years old)

Monkeys are very funny animals that love to play pranks. Invite the child to turn into a monkey and fool around a little too. Monkey can:

  • swing on vines (we swing on a trapezoid and twist - we spin on the rings);
  • climb trees (we climb and go down the Swedish wall);
  • walk on branches on four legs (we walk on all fours on a bench, a raised board or a tape laid out on the floor);
  • to move on hands from branch to branch (we walk along the handrail, if any), we twist on the rings);
  • sitting on a branch, throw the fruits of a tree (attach a gift paper bag with table tennis balls or rag balls at a sports center at such a height that the child needs to climb to it, the child can climb after each ball or can perch on the crossbar and throw the balls at the target ).

For climbing the Swedish wall, this poem by N. Shilov is great:

In the shop

In the shop,
Where are the halva
The hills rise
And cookies
Stacks
form
hills,
Where is the candy
"Red poppy"
Like mountains
Kara-dag,
And the ranks
marshmallow,
Like ridges
Pamir,
Place
Only for men -
Peak Conquerors.

When playing at the sports complex, do not forget about safety precautions: a mat should be laid under the sports complex, insure the child when he makes new movements. You can read about how to organize a home sports corner in the article.

Imitation games

Imitation games can be a good option for outdoor games at home. The child may imitate your actions or portray something. Anything can be shown:

  • toys (yule, tumbler, ball);
  • animals (animals, birds, insects);
  • transport (bike, plane, car, train, and so on);
  • appliances (vacuum cleaner, iron, washing machine, hair dryer).

You can also submit a task in several ways:

  • you simply show or tell the child what to do, whom or what to portray;
  • the child chooses a card with a drawn or written task (such cards must be prepared in advance). If you depict animals, then on the task cards you can draw not the animals themselves, but their shadow, traces, or only part of them;
  • you can make a riddle to the child about what he will need to portray.

Here are a few options for impersonation games.

Do like me(from 1 year)

The parent gives commands and executes them together with the child. For example, reach with a pen to the head, with an ear to the knee, with a leg to the pillow. You can guess objects in different parts rooms or apartments, so that you still need to run to them: touch the closet with your heel, the table with your elbow, and so on, as far as your imagination and surrounding objects are enough. You can execute these commands at speed.

Dwarves and giants

This is a well-known mobile mindfulness game. It is more interesting to play it with several children. The leader can only say the words "giants" and "gnomes". At the word "giants" everyone should rise on their toes and raise their hands. And at the word "gnomes" everyone should sit lower.

The facilitator tries to make the players make mistakes. You can first say "giants" loudly, and "gnomes" - quietly. And then suddenly - on the contrary. Or another option: saying "giants", the host crouches, and saying "gnomes" - rises on his toes. And then suddenly - on the contrary. The pace of the game should be gradually increased.

If you play with several children, the one who makes a mistake is out of the game. The last player who has never made a mistake becomes the leader. If you are playing alone with a child, after a mistake, you can simply switch roles or assign a penalty for a mistake - for example, sit down 5 times.

Yula(from 1.5 years)

Surely, you have a spinning wheel at home. Invite the baby to spin like a top. When you say "stop", the baby should stop. You can spin on two legs or on one leg (for children from 4 years old). The following poem by E. Gaiterova is well suited for this game:

I will become young now -
I spin on one leg.
And now I'll change my leg
And I spin a little on it.

Tumbler(from 1.5 years)

It is most convenient to play this game on a mat on the floor. The child sits on his heels, leans or falls on one side, then on the other. A suitable poem by T. Koval "Roly-Vstanka":

Roly-Vstanka is a roly-poly.
Even if he wants to sleep
Still worth it, poor thing
And he can't go to bed.

Car(from 1.5 years)

Designate several places in the room: a garage, a gas station, a service station, a post office, and so on. Encourage your child to become a machine. Give directions to the car where to go.

After 4 years, places in your city that your child knows can be used as places. You can also tell your child where to go, or ask them to take you on a tour of the city: let the child driver hold your hand and choose the route himself.

Around the world(from 4 years old)

This game is a variation of the previous game, but for this you will need political map peace. Designate in different places the rooms or apartments of the country, which can be reached in different ways - by land, by water, by air. Invite your child to take a trip. You suggest a country, the child decides how to get to it, and moves to the right place by performing the appropriate movements: driving a car or train, sailing in a ship or flying in an airplane or helicopter. For example, from Russia to France can be reached by car, train or plane. And from France to Canada - by plane or by ship.

Truck(from 1.5 years)

Invite your child to become a truck. You can play with a large truck that the child can drive with his hands, a wheelchair on which the baby moves, pushing off with his feet, or a regular backpack that the baby will put on himself. At one end of the room, prepare the details of a large designer. These will be bricks. The truck must complete the task - to transport the bricks from the factory to the construction site. Help the child at the factory load the bricks into the back of a car or backpack. At a construction site, a child truck has to unload the bricks. When all the bricks are transported, you can build a house, a zoo or something else out of them.

horses(from 2 years old)

Tell your child about how horses and ponies are trained, and invite them to play with a trained horse. Designate a stable in the room. Mom - the trainer gives commands to the horse, at the end the horse can get a treat. Example commands that a horse can execute:

  • "step" - the horse walks, raising its knees high;
  • "trot" - the horse runs;
  • "turn" - the horse turns around;
  • "bow" - the horse leans forward;
  • “to the stable” - the horse runs to a specially designated place, and so on.

Games with large objects, or building a shelter

Games with large objects are a great physical activity for kids up to 4 years old.

Building a house(from 2 years old)

Invite your child to build a bear den, a mouse hole, a dog house, and so on with pillows and blankets. This game can easily turn into a role-playing game.

Helping Mom(from 2 years old)

Ask your child to help you: move a pillow, stool or something else large, but not too heavy, to another room; put books on a high shelf and so on. The kid will not only be glad that he could be useful to you, but will also receive additional physical activity.

Dancing

An excellent option outdoor games for children at home can become dancing. They not only contribute to the development of large motor skills of the baby, but also develop his auditory concentration and attention. Here are some options for dance games.

Just dancing(from 6 months)

Baby and you can just move to the music the way you like.

Let's dance(from 1 year)

There are many simple children's songs that you can dance to by performing certain movements during the chorus (clap your hands, stomp, spin).

Stop dance(from 2 years old)

For this game, you will need a host who will periodically turn off the music. While the music is playing, the child is dancing, as soon as the music stops, the child should also stop. For children over 4 years old, the task can be complicated: not just stop when the music ends, but freeze in the position in which he was at that moment. When the music is turned on again, the child starts dancing again.

Dress up and dance(from 2 years old)

If the kid is tired of just dancing, try dancing in costumes. As costumes, you can use items of clothing that you have at home, or parts of fancy dress, if you have them. For dancing in a certain costume, you can choose the appropriate music. Here are some examples:

  • we put on the red and white cap of Pinocchio and dance to a song from the movie "Pinocchio";
  • on the head is a captain's cap - we dance to the song "Brave Captain";
  • we put on a peakless cap and a sailor's collar - we dance to the "Apple";
  • a cowboy hat on the head and a wooden or inflatable horse under the saddle - we dance to the songs “Two Cowboys” and “Song about Cowboy John”;
  • we put on father's or mother's slippers or shoes - and dance to the song "Barbariki";
  • put on khaki shorts and a military cap - we march to the song "Soldiers - brave kids";
  • mouse costume - Scary Beast (Song about the mouse) muses. A. Moscow sl. A. Shutko;

Musical "Cat and Mouse"(from 2 years old)

You will need two melodies (loud and quiet) and a presenter who will switch them. You will be the cat, the child will be the mouse. When quiet music is playing, the child can run around the room as he wants, for example, he can try to steal the crumbs from the table. When the melody changes, the cat wakes up and tries to catch the mouse. This game is interesting to play with several children - mice.

Catching up at home

There is hardly a child who does not like to run. Catch-up, or tag, is one of the most ancient folk games like hide and seek. With some restrictions, it is quite possible to play catch-up at home. The goal of the game in all cases is the same - the leader tries to catch up and overpower the other player or players. If the space of the apartment does not allow active running, you can invite the baby to play catch-up on all fours.

Catch-ups with a plot

There are a lot of catch-up plots with appropriate poetic accompaniment. While the poem is being told, the leader (bear, wolf, dog, and so on) hides or sleeps, the children walk around him. As soon as the poem ends, the children scatter, and the leader catches them:

At the bear in the forest

At the bear in the forest,
Mushrooms, I take berries,
The bear doesn't sleep
And growls at us.

Geese, Geese

Shepherd: Geese, geese!
Geese: Ha, ha, ha.
Shepherd: Do you want to eat?
Geese: Yes, yes, yes.
Shepherd: Well, fly.
Goose: We can't. The gray wolf under the mountain does not let us go home.
Shepherd: Well, fly as you like, just take care of your wings.

angry dog

Here lies the shaggy dog,
He buried his nose in his paws.
Quietly, quietly he lies,
Not that slumbering
not sleeping.
Let's go to him, wake him up
And let's see what happens...

Quieter mouse do not make noise ...

Mice lead a round dance,
A cat is napping on a couch.
Hush, mice, don't make noise,
Don't wake the cat Vaska.
How Vaska the cat wakes up
Will break your round dance.

But you can also come up with your own plot: a fox and a chicken, a wolf and a hare, and so on.

Catch-ups with houses

Circles made of rope, sheets of paper laid out on the floor, parts of a children's rug, stools and a sofa can serve as houses. Mom catches up with the baby, but if the baby jumped into the house, the mother can no longer taunt him. You can do without stationary houses: a player can be considered "in the house" if he squats down, put his hands over his head in the shape of a roof and said: "Chur, I'm in the house."

Feet higher off the ground

This game is similar to the previous one, but the mother cannot taunt the baby only if he has lifted his legs off the ground: he sat on the sofa or on the floor and raised his legs, lay on the floor on his stomach and raised his legs bent at the knees, hung on the crossbar. You can agree that you can stay in the house until the salting counts up to 5 or up to 10.

Zhmurki

Zhmurki – this is also a kind of catch-up, but the driver is blindfolded with a thick scarf or scarf. The driver is spun, and on a signal, the players scatter and begin to “tease” the driver, giving signals about their whereabouts. You can ring the bell or clap your hands. The driver needs to touch at least one of the players.

Ball chasers

In this version of the game of catch-up, you need to touch the child not with your hand, but with a ball (at home it is better to use a soft rag ball or a small beach ball) or a soft toy.

Runners

If you don’t want to play catch-up with your child, let him run alone, but not just like that, but with a plot: you tell a poem and show movements, the child repeats the movements after you, and runs away about his business in the last phrase:

Butterfly

In the morning the butterfly woke up.
(We depict with fists, like three eyes)
Stretched, smiled.
(We stand on our toes, pull our hands up.)
Once - she washed herself with dew.
(We depict how we wash ourselves.)
Two - gracefully circled.
(We circle in place.)
Three - bent down and sat down.
(Lean forward and squat.)
At four, she flew away.
(We run away, waving our hands).

bees

Bees sit in hives
(We squat down.)
And they look out the window.
(We support the cheek with the right fist. We support the elbow of the right hand with the left hand.)
Wanted to frolic
(We get up.)
They flew one after another.
(We run away.)

labyrinth

Do you want to play with your child easily and with pleasure?

Build a labyrinth on the floor of a spacious room from blocks of a large designer or a long rope. The kid can run around the maze by himself, carry soft toys or carry cars.

hide and seek at home

Hide and seek is also one of the outdoor games that can be played not only on the street, but also at home. There are a lot of hide and seek games. The main thing in all of them is that the child "hides" from prying eyes himself or hides an object, and the leader is looking for him or a hidden object.

Hide and seek for the little ones(from 1 year)

Everyone knows the kid's game of "ku-ku". With kids, you can play it a little differently: invite the baby to hide the arms with you (put them behind your back), legs (sit on your heels), tummy (curl up). You can hide the shoulders, elbows, heels, knees, covering them with your hands. This game will allow your baby not only to learn to coordinate their movements, but also to learn the parts of the body.

Looking for a toy(from 1 year)

Choose a toy with your baby that will hide. Ask the baby to close his eyes or close his eyes with his hands, and hide the toy yourself. The kid will probably peep, and then quickly find her. Then switch roles. When you're looking, it's better to deliberately look in the wrong places and comment loudly on your actions. This will be more fun, and at the same time you will introduce the baby to the space and the names of the objects that surround him at home.

toys hid

Hide toys in the apartment so that they peek out a little so that the child can notice them. Ask your child to find all the hidden toys. If the toys are small, they can be put in a bucket or basket, if they are large - in a certain place, for example, on a sofa. For older children, you can complicate the game: during the search, turn on fun music and warn that toys need to be found while the music is playing.

Looking for treasure(from 3 years old)

Hide a “treasure” (sweets or a new toy) in a room or apartment and ask your child to find it. You can give him a hint:

  • make a riddle about the place where the treasure is hidden;
  • comment on his actions with the words “hot - cold”, “warmer - colder”.

For older children, you can draw a search map or use notes with hints.

Ordinary hide and seek(from 1.5 years)

Almost all children enjoy playing hide-and-seek at home. If space permits, you can hide behind doors, behind curtains, behind the end of a sofa or closet, in the closet itself, if you allow it. If you look for the baby, deliberately making mistakes and loudly commenting on your actions, this will give the child a lot of pleasure. And you can also look for a child deliberately for a long time or with the help of binoculars or an improvised spyglass. You can climb onto a stool and look for a child from there - you can see better from above.

Wand - knocker(from 3 years old)

This is a variant of hide and seek with a stick – with a knocker, when it is first thrown into the house, and then the leader must “knock” each player found with this stick. Determine a place - a house and put a wand there. As soon as you find the child, he should run faster than you to the house, knock with a stick and shout: “Knock – knock, wand. Help me out!" If he does not have time, he becomes the leader.

Ball games at home

For ball games at home, it is better to use rag balls or small rubber balls: they can cause the least damage. You can play at home with a small inflatable beach ball or a small plush toy.

pig toy(from 2 years old)

You will need a funny plush toy, such as a cockerel, pig or frog, fun rhythmic music and an assistant who will stop and turn the music on. To the music, we throw the toy into each other's hands. Suddenly the music stops. The one who at that moment turned out to be with a toy in his hands - crows loudly, grunts or croaks!

"Edible - inedible" and other "question-answer" games(from 3 years old)

"Edible - inedible" - one of the most famous games with a ball. The host throws the ball to other players and names some food or object when throwing. The player to whom the leader throws the ball must catch it if something edible is named (apple, porridge, juice), and discard it if an inedible object is named (car, sofa, scissors).

You can change this game. For example, agree that the players catch the ball only if the leader named an object has a certain attribute(blue color, can fly, alive and so on).

Another ball game where you have to catch the ball is the game "question answer". Throwing the ball, the leader can ask a question, and the player who caught the ball answers it by throwing the ball to the leader. Questions can be any or on one topic. For example, on the topic of family: Who are you for your mother? Who is your brother for dad? and so on. Or on the topic of birds: What do birds build on trees? Can an ostrich bird fly? Is the sparrow a pet bird? and so on.

Another version of the game with the ball, which involves the answers of the players. The host and players decide topic such as transport or vegetables. The host throws the ball to the players, the players catch the ball and, throwing it to the player, name an object from the selected group. For example, for the general concept of “transport”, answers are suitable: car, bus, train, plane, and so on.

By playing these ball games, show your baby that the ball can be thrown in many ways: from the chest, from behind the head, from below, with one and two hands.

Rolling the ball(from 1 year)

Show your child how to roll the ball across the floor. Can roll the ball to each other sitting on the floor.

After 3 years, you can offer the child, holding the ball with his hand, ride his snake- between the details of the designer or soft animals.

Can be arranged at home bowling. If you don't have skittles, empty plastic bottles can replace them. Let the child throw or push the ball, trying to knock down the skittles placed on the floor. If you pour water into the bottles, they will be harder to knock down.

right on target(from 1.5 years)

Attach a large target on whatman paper or a piece of paper to a wall or door at the level of the child's eyes. Show your child how to throw a small ball at a target. Successful throws of the kid can be marked on the target with felt-tip pens or stickers. You can throw balls into a large bucket or basin. Gradually increase the distance to the target or bucket.

We train the blow(from 1.5 years)

Hang a ball in a toy net from a gym or door handle. Invite your child to hit the ball with a table tennis racket or a plastic bottle.

Football(from 1.5 years)

With children under 3 years old, you can play football at home with a soft ball. Show your kid how to kick the ball. Let him try to score it in the goal. The gate can be a stool turned on its side, or a table covered on three sides with a cloth. You can designate the gate with two blocks of a large designer.

Outdoor games with balloons at home

Balloons are perfect for outdoor games at home. Here are some game options.

Flyer(from 9 months)

This game is very popular with children. You will need one balloon. Inflate the balloon, but do not tie. Give the ball to the child and ask them to let it go. The air will come out of the balloon, and the balloon will fly around the room, making indescribable turns. Children are happy to run after the flying ball and look for where it fell.

Volleyball(from 3 years old)

You will need one inflated balloon. The goal of the game is to push the ball up with your hands so that it does not fall as long as possible. You cannot catch the ball with your hands.

balloon race(from 4 years old)

You will need two inflated balloons (or more - according to the number of participants), a free floor or a long table. Purpose of the game: to move the balls from one part of the room to another. You can blow on the balls, push with your feet, elbows, chin, and so on.

You can complicate the game by adding obstacles that you need to get around, such as stools or a tunnel that you need to crawl through. A box without a top and bottom, laid on its side, a folded gymnastic rug or a table covered with a cloth, can act as a tunnel.

Running with balloons(from 4 years old)

You will need two inflated balloons (or more - according to the number of participants). Purpose: to move from one part to another without letting the ball fall to the floor. You can push the balls with your hands, carry them on plastic plates, you can toss them with a table tennis or volleyball racket (if you don’t have a racket at hand, you can make it from a plastic plate and a stick using adhesive tape), you can jump with a ball sandwiched between the knees.

reroll(from 2 years old)

You will need several balls of two colors. You can use small balls. Blow up balloons and scatter them around the room. Divide the room in two. Choose the color of the balloons that you will collect and which ones the child will collect. The goal of the game is to collect balls of your own color in your own half faster than your opponent. You can collect balls in large bags or a basin. You can agree that orange balls are pumpkins, green ones are zucchini, and harvest.

About what other games are possible with balloons, you can read in the article.

Playing outdoor games at home in a circle

If more than two children have gathered, at home in a spacious room you can also play outdoor games in a circle. A distinctive feature of these games is that the participants move in a circle, and the leader is in the center of the circle.

Carousel

The facilitator reads the poem. The players stand in a circle and hold hands (or a hoop). They move around in a clockwise direction. Gradually speed up the pace, then run. Then gradually slow down the step, stop and squat down:

Barely, barely, barely
The carousels spin
And then, then, then
Everyone run, run, run.
Hush, hush, don't rush.
Stop the carousel.
Stop.

Next time you can move counterclockwise.

Blow up, bubble

The players join hands, forming a circle, move back, expanding the circle and saying:

Blow up, bubble
Blow up big
Stay like this
Don't crash!

Then, if the host says: “The air is coming out!”, The players, without opening the circle, run to the center, depicting the outgoing air: “shhh”. If the host says: “The bubble has burst!”, The players scatter around the room.

Loaf

This game can be played not only at a birthday party.

How about (child's name) name day
We baked a loaf:
(Children dance around the birthday child).
Here is such a height
(Raise clasped hands up.)
Here is such a low
(Squatting down, hands down.)
This is the width
(Children diverge to the width of outstretched arms, stretching the circle).
Here's a dinner.
(Children converge in the center of the circle, lowering their hands down and slightly forward).
Loaf, loaf, choose whom you love!
(The birthday boy chooses the children, going around them in a circle).
I really love everyone
But (name of the selected child) is the best!
(Pointing to one of the children in the circle.)

The game is repeated with the chosen child.

Children will be happy if adults join them in these games. Playing in a circle creates an amazing sense of unity between children and parents.

We play outdoor games at home for a walk

As you probably already understood, many outdoor games that you play with your child on a walk can be adapted for home by adding a little imagination and reducing the speed of running. Here are some more options outdoor games with children at home depending on the time of year.

Snowballs at home. It's winter outside and your little one loves to play snowballs? But there is a snowstorm outside, and you can’t go for a walk? Have a snowball fight at home: Crumpled sheets of white printer paper are great for snowballs. Shelter made from chairs and cushions will make the game even more interesting.

Home leaf fall. It's autumn now, and it's raining outside, and yesterday you played so well with fallen leaves? Try to arrange leaf fall at home: the leaves can be cut out of colored paper or scraps of fabric.

Ships at home. Does your child enjoy sailing boats in the spring streams? Offer him to become the captain of such a ship. To play, you will need a boat on a string of such a length that the baby can pull it along. You can take a toy boat or make a paper boat. You can simply pull the boat along the stream (the stream can be made from a blue ribbon or a piece of fabric). And here is a suitable poem by A. Barto "Ship":

Tarpaulin,
Rope in hand
I am pulling a boat
On the fast river
And the frogs jump
Behind me
And they ask me:
- Ride it, captain!

Or, while playing this game, you can tell your child about how a stream is born from a spring, how a stream flows into a river, a river into the sea. For a stream and a river, you will need ribbons of different thicknesses, for the sea - a piece of blue or blue fabric. A Norwegian folk song translated by Y. Vronsky "In a wooden shoe" is wonderful for this trip.

You and I, and we are with you
In a wooden shoe
With a tailwind
We will go to the sea along the river.

And then, and then
We will cross the sea
We'll come across the sea
Meet the musician.

The musician will play for us
Something like this
To the feet, to the feet
There was no peace.

And then back home
You and I, and we are with you
By sea, by river
In a wooden shoe.

Once, while playing around with this poem, we used a real shoe, though not a wooden one.

Home trip. Have you ever gone camping with your baby? If so, then he must have enjoyed it very much. Why not repeat at home? If not, then it's time to work out at home. How? Arrange an obstacle course for your child and beat it like a hiking game: mountains, rivers, forests, meadows. Do not forget to pack a backpack before the game, and in the middle of the trip, arrange a small halt. If you have a home tent, then you can even organize an overnight stay.

Such games will not only bring many fun minutes to your baby, but will also contribute to the development of his imagination.

In "Brook", and in "Quick Ball".

Ran to the turn
Rolled over the gate.
Jumped across the yard
Escaped over the fence.

Spinning fast, flying!
Who will catch him now?
Hurry catch up
And tell your neighbor.

Jumps briskly without hesitation.

Played and rested.
It's time for us to get back to class.
We have classes there.

The one left without a seat becomes the driver.

  • Mobile game "Third extra"

Tasks: to develop dexterity, speed, to cultivate a sense of collectivism.

Description: Participants walk in a circle in pairs, holding hands. The distance between pairs is 1.5 - 2 meters. Two drivers, one of whom runs away, the other catches up. The escaping player can at any time get ahead of any pair. In this case, the back player of the pair he is in front of becomes the one being overtaken. If, nevertheless, the player managed to catch up and overpower, then the drivers change roles.

  • Shootout game

Tasks: to develop dexterity, attentiveness, speed of reaction.

Description: A game is played on a volleyball court. Stepping back 1.5 meters from the front line inside the hall, a line parallel to it is drawn to form something like a corridor. An additional line is also drawn on the other side.

Participants are divided into two teams, each of which is located on its own half of the site from the middle line of the corridor. Both teams must choose a captain. You can't enter the opponent's territory. Each player who has the ball tries to hit his opponent with it without going beyond the middle line. The greasy player is sent prisoner and stays there until the players of his team throw the ball into his hands. After that, the player returns to the team.

Outdoor games on the go

Walking with children in kindergarten or aftercare in primary school, the teacher needs something to keep the children busy: an excellent solution is to organize outdoor games during a walk. First, the teacher introduces the children to various games, and in the future, the children themselves, dividing into groups, will be able to decide which game they want to play. Outdoor games have a beneficial effect on the development of the child's body and strengthen the immune system. And the time of the walk flies unnoticed.

Before starting the game, the teacher needs to pay attention to the state of the playing field: are there any extra objects, fragments and everything that can prevent children from playing and create a traumatic situation - unfortunately, not only on the street, but also on the school site or kindergarten you can find a lot of rubbish.

  • Game "Train"

Tasks: To develop in children the ability to perform movements on a sound signal, to consolidate the skill of building in a column. Exercise in walking, running after each other.

Description: Children are built in a column. The first child in the column is a locomotive, the rest of the participants are wagons. After the teacher gives the horn, the children begin to move forward (without clutch). At first slowly, then faster, gradually moving to a run, they say “Chu-choo-choo!”. “The train is pulling up to the station,” says the teacher. Children gradually slow down and stop. The teacher again gives a whistle, the movement of the train resumes.

  • Mobile game "Zhmurki"

Tasks: education of dexterity, development of the ability to navigate in space, observation.

Description: Free space is required to play the game. A leader is chosen, who is blindfolded and taken to the middle of the site. The driver is rotated several times around his own axis, after which he must catch any player. The one who is caught becomes the leader.

  • Game "Day and night"

Tasks: exercise in running in different directions, act on a signal.

Description: All participants are divided into two teams. One command is "day", the other is "night". A line is drawn in the middle of the hall or a cord is placed. At a distance of two steps from the drawn line, the teams stand with their backs to each other. At the command of the leader, for example, “Day!” the appropriately named team starts catching up. Children from the “night” team must have time to run away beyond the conditional line before their rivals have time to tarnish them. The team that manages to tarnish the most players from the opposite team wins.

  • Game "Baskets"

Tasks: to exercise in running one after another, to develop speed, speed of reaction, attentiveness.

All the remaining participants are divided into pairs and join hands, creating something like a basket. The players scatter in different directions, and the leaders are separated, the catcher is trying to catch up with the fugitive. The fugitive must run between pairs. Baskets should not catch the fugitive, but for this he calls the names of the participants in the basket that he runs up to.

Children's holiday at home: fun and entertaining fun games for children and adults. Old games of 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, relatives, go to visit, receive guests. Games at home are one of the oldest and traditional winter activities for children and adults. What games can you play with kids 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 a 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 old pre-revolutionary children's games.

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

Educational games are what every family knows now, what they write about in magazines and books, what they show in videos and TV shows. But fun games ... Do we know 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 common 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 a child no worse than “serious” educational games. And besides, it is so nice to play 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 of his successful development.

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

Here 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 a certain part of the public and have a lot of harmful influence on the success of the development of children's games ... Due to these views, for example, fast, impetuous movements of children during play are recognized as impossibly rude, too provincial, masculine; heartfelt fun in games, which only children are capable of, about which even the saying “Rejoices like a child” has developed, is considered completely inappropriate, indecent, trivial. Simplicity in dress, which is required for the most part for many free children's games, is also considered unacceptable, degrading the child to the level of a craftsman, etc., but meanwhile, it is dressed-up children, like dolls, according to a fashionable French magazine ... and you can’t send them to the game, because such clothes will interfere and run freely, and wrestle, etc.

Obviously, there are no joys 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, a lot of tricks that are necessary and useful in life, do not learn reasonable attitudes towards their own kind, and in the end they often come out strange, inept, often evoking only laughter and mockery at themselves. It is rightly said that “he is more likely to be cut with a knife who has not learned how 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 wealthy parents can do nothing by way of it, except for riding, yes and this is because only 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 mockery has been fully preserved to this day.

There are relatively few games that are designed for a solitary activity, on the contrary, most games require the complicity of more or less other children. In this distribution of games, no doubt, lies the goal so that by using them, 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 to the excitement of competition, mutual criticism, recognition of dignity 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 one, one helps another 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 the closest mutual communication, unity and friendly work ...

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

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

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

Children's games at home: old Russian games

Game "Dergachi"

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

The rest of the participants in the game are players. In this game, they are called "twitchers".

Game rule: players are not allowed to leave their seats. If this rule is violated, the player becomes a "Water".

Game progress: The blister stands in the center of the room blindfolded. Players enter the room and sit near the walls. The viper begins to walk around the room.

Players attract the attention of the vodka, "pull" him. For example, they say “Derg-derg” or rustle their feet on the floor or rustle their clothes in turn. Here someone pulled the vodka by the hem. And then from the other side they whispered: "Derg-derg", and after that a new sound - someone slaps on the knees. The vodir needs to guess who pulled him (that is, he said or clapped or made some kind of sound). If he guessed right, then he transfers his role to the tugger. Then the twitch, who was unraveled, becomes a water-dweller in a new game.

The task of the players is to confuse the vodka so that he cannot guess who it is. Therefore, they may not speak in their own voice - squeaky or vice versa bass, etc.

The game "Blind Man's Buff at the Wall"

Very fun and funny game. Such a fun game is very good in 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 so enjoy playing with shadows and coming up with their own ideas about how to “trick” the leader of the game. Whom only they do not dress up! And how they laugh when they are confused with ... their mom or dad !!!

This is how they play it old game. In the “blind-blind against the wall”, the leader is not blindfolded, on the contrary, he will need to look very carefully “in both eyes”.

You will need a light wall (it can be a wall in a corridor or in a room). If your walls are dark, then 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 by the shadow who passed it.

All players try to confuse the driver. They can wrap themselves in a cloak, put on someone else's hat, go crouching to the floor or, on the contrary, go on tiptoe, stretch their neck or pull it in, hunch over, limp, bend over three deaths, mix up, intertwine 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, when guessing, look at the person, and not at the shadow. If the driver made a mistake, then the phantom pays (performs the task - tells a joke, sings a verse of the song, congratulates everyone, etc.). The driver is replaced when he guessed one of the players or when everyone passed.

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

Game "Even-Odd"

A great game to share gifts or small surprises for guests.

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

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

We start to raffle gifts. The first player points to one of the heaps with his hand and asks: "Even or odd?". The second player answers either "even" or "odd". We count the gifts in this pile. If the second player guessed right, then he takes a bunch of gifts for himself and asks the question to the third player (along the chain): “Even or odd?”. The third responds, and so on. In this game, kids will not only receive surprise gifts, but will also learn to count gifts with pleasure :).

The game "Okhlopok"

Highly 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 is useless - it won’t fly :). The task is to keep the cotton from falling. The player, near whom the cotton falls, pays a fant (sings a song, crows, reads a poem, etc.). Therefore, everyone is trying to quickly blow the cotton from themselves to their neighbor. The cotton flies either higher or lower, so the players either squat, then stand on tiptoe, then bend over. Usually a very funny picture is obtained.

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

Game "Wing"

The leader is chosen. The rest of the participants in the game are players.

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

Ah, wing, hurry up,

Don't stumble and don't break

Don't look under the table

And that will be trouble.

It is necessary to pass the object on a thread so that the driver does not guess who has the “wing” now. Therefore, the players, even without having a wing, pretend that they are passing it, wink at each other and try in every possible way to confuse the driver.

On the last word in the text (this is the word "trouble"), the "wing" stops at one of the players. The task of the driver is to guess who has the wing, where it stopped.

If he guessed right, then this player with a wing in his hands in the next game becomes the driver. If not, then the driver pays a phantom. The redemption of a fanta is a song, dance, riddle, congratulation or trick.

It is important not to break the thread when transferring an object on a thread. Who broke the thread also pays forfeit.

Birds fly game

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

"I have traveled a lot different countries. And I came to such a wonderful conclusion: all living beings covered with feathers fly. All birds fly." On the last words, the host raises the index finger of the hand 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 host continues: “And the ducks fly (the leader and the players raise their fingers for each correct phrase), and the geese fly, and the tits fly. And the lions fly.” Many players will automatically give a thumbs up. And they'll be wrong.

The game must be played in fast pace, alternating birds, animals, fish, insects (they also fly, but they are not birds, and therefore you don’t need to raise your finger), flying objects - autumn leaves, an arrow (you don’t need to raise your finger, because it’s not a bird)

Everyone who made a mistake at the end of the game pays forfeits - they perform simple tasks.

Game "Pull-let"

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

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

The leader at a fast pace says “Pull”, then “Let”. And what is the "highlight" of this fun game? And the fact that the word "pull" you need to release the tape. But on the word “let” you need a tape, on the contrary, pull it! There will be many mistakes!

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

The game "Apartments to change"

Everyone is sitting on chairs. The driver shouts: “Change apartments! Change apartments! At these words, everyone jumps out of their chairs and looks for a new place. And since the driver has already taken one place, then someone may not have enough space. That's all in a hurry, run, hurry. Who did not have time to take a place - pays forfeit. As soon as the phantom is paid, immediately (before everyone has time to gather 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 calls himself the name of some animal. For example, "I am a hare." “And I am a fox,” etc. When everyone has memorized each other's new names, the game begins.

Take a wooden (old version) or plastic plate or bowl (modern version) and twist it hard so that it spins (Many other modern items can be used instead of a plate, for example, a roll of stationery tape. The main thing is that the object can be twisted)

As the plate is spun, immediately shout out the name of one of the players. For example: "Hare, catch!". The hare must have time to intercept the spinning plate before it falls. Now the hare spins the plate and calls the other player: “Catch the bear!” etc.

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

Anyone who did not manage to grab a plate pays a forfeit.

Game "Korchaga"

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

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

Players stand around the pot. The senior player calls them, calling the name of the flower. For example: "Chamomile, come here." Chamomile comes up to 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 a korchaga in the next game. If he did not guess correctly, then he will still have to be in the role of a korchag

Games - riddles, puzzles, charades, puns.

Such games have also been known for a long time and are ancient. They played them for fun. You won’t guess - pay a forfeit, cheer everyone up. You can also play in a different way - on the winner, who guessed the largest number of puzzles. Here are some 19th century assignments:

1. Why is a chicken more likely to eat a serving 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 spruce.

3. “Young girls are willing to visit the first one; the second is not necessary for girls, but for boys it is necessary for many games. It’s nice to leave the stuffy room for the whole ”(Answer to the charade: ball + con \u003d balcony) Other possible charades that you can easily compose by analogy yourself: com + pass \u003d compass. Steam + hell = parade. deg+us=degree. Agility + bone = dexterity. Air + spirit = air.
