Fun outdoor games are our childhood. Who doesn’t remember the constant hide-and-seek, blind man’s buff, catch-up, and tag?
When did these games originate? Who invented them? It is probably impossible to find an exact answer to these questions. These games, like songs and fairy tales, were created by the people. They perfectly temper the body and soul.
These games force you to move a lot and require resourcefulness, ingenuity, dexterity and perseverance. They are usually held in the fresh air in an open area.
Children of all ages can participate in such games - from preschoolers to high school students.
Their rules are simple and clear.
But this game has several options that make it more difficult.
1. The taunted player becomes the driver, and he must run, holding his hand on the part of the body for which he was taunted.
The first player whom the driver touches becomes the driver himself.
2. The upset player stops, stretches his arms to the sides and shouts: “Tea-tea-help out.” He is "bewitched".
Other players can “disenchant” it by touching their hand. The driver must “bewitch” everyone. To do this faster, there can be two or three drivers. This game is probably familiar to you, but it has many different variations.
The basic rules are: one person leads and the others hide.
The driver must find all the players and make fun of them before they have time to hide “at home.”
The driver, chosen using a counting rhyme, stands in the appointed place with his eyes closed. This place is called "con".
While the driver counts loudly to 20–30, all the players hide in a certain area. After the end of the count, the driver opens his eyes and goes in search of the hidden ones.
If he sees one of the players hiding, he loudly calls his name and runs to the stake. As a sign that the player has been found, the stake must be knocked on a wall or tree.
If the found player runs to the stake and knocks there before the driver, then he is not considered caught. He steps aside and waits for the game to end.
The driver must “catch” as many hidden players as possible.
Next time, the driver becomes the player who was found and “caught” last (or, according to the decision of the players, first).
Every time the driver moves far from the horse, hidden players can sneak up to the horse unnoticed and knock. In this case, they will not be considered detected. On the site, at a distance of 10–15 meters, two lines are drawn - two “houses”.
In one there are geese, in the other their owner.
Between the “houses”, “under the mountain”, lives the “wolf” - the leader.
The “master” and the “geese” conduct a dialogue with each other, known to everyone from early childhood:
- Geese, geese!
- Ha-ga-ha!
- Do you want something to eat?
- Yes, yes, yes!
- So fly!
- We can't. The gray wolf under the mountain won't let us go home!
After these words, the “geese” try to run over to the “master”, and the “wolf” catches them.
The caught player becomes a “wolf”. The players line up in a column in pairs, holding hands.
The driver stands in front of the column a few steps away, with his back to the players. He says:
Burn-burn clearly
So that it doesn't go out.
And one, and two, and three.
Last couple run!
On the word “run”, the last couple standing must quickly run around the column and stand in front. And the driver strives to get ahead of them and take one of the places of the first pair. The one who does not have enough space becomes the driver.
Instead of the words “last pair,” the driver can say: “Fourth pair” or “Second pair.” In this case, everyone playing must be very careful and remember where they stand in the column. Two lines are drawn on the site at a distance of 6–8 meters from one another.
Behind one line is the driver - the “bear”, behind the other is the “house” in which the children live.
Children go out of the “house” into the “forest” to pick mushrooms and berries.
They approach the bear's den with the words:
By the bear in the forest
I take mushrooms and berries.
But the bear doesn't sleep,
Everything is looking at us.
At the last words, the “bear” jumps out of the “den” and tries to grease the children running away to their house.
A player hit by a bear becomes a bear. The driver is selected - the “monk” and the leader - the “seller”.
All other players make a secret secret from the “monk” of the colors of the paints. Colors should not be repeated.
The game begins with the driver coming to the “shop” and saying: “I, a monk in blue pants, have come to you for some paint.”
Seller: “For what?”
The monk names any color, for example: “For blue.”
If there is no such paint, then the seller says: “Walk along the blue path, you will find blue boots, wear them and bring them back!”
"Monk" starts the game from the beginning.
If there is such a paint, then the player who has wished for this color tries to run away from the “monk,” and he catches up with him.
If you catch up, then the “paint” becomes the driver; if not, then the paints are guessed again and the game is repeated. The game takes place on a small limited area with no dangerous obstacles.
The driver is blindfolded, or he simply closes his eyes. He must make fun of one of the players with his eyes closed.
The players run away from the driver, but do not go beyond the boundaries of the site and be sure to raise their voices - call the driver by name or shout: “I’m here.”
The spoiled player changes roles with the driver. They choose Alyonushka and Ivanushka and blindfold them. They are inside the circle.
The players stand in a circle and join hands.
Ivanushka must catch Alyonushka.
To do this, he can call her: “Alyonushka!” Alyonushka must always respond: “I’m here, Ivanushka!”, but she herself is in no hurry to meet Ivanushka and, sensing his approach, runs away to the side.
The drivers' movements are comical and sometimes unexpected.
It happens that Ivanushka mistakes someone from standing nearby and rather grabs onto it. The mistake is explained to him.
As soon as Ivanushka caught Alyonushka, other guys take their place and the game starts all over again. The players are divided into two groups. One depicts Cossacks, the other – robbers.
The Cossacks have their own house, where there is a watchman during the game. His responsibilities include guarding captured robbers.
The game begins with the Cossacks, remaining in their house, giving the robbers the opportunity to hide. In this case, the robbers must leave traces: arrows, symbols or notes indicating the location of the next mark.
The traces may also be false in order to intimidate the Cossacks. After 10–15 minutes, the Cossacks begin searching.
The game ends when all the robbers are caught, and the one whom the Cossacks saw is considered caught.
It is better to play the game in a large area, but limited by some signs.
At the end of the game, the Cossacks and the robbers change roles. A fishing rod is a jump rope. One end of it is in the hand of the “fisherman” - the driver.
All players stand around the “fisherman” no further than the length of the rope.
The “fisherman” begins to spin the “fishing rod”, trying to hit the legs of the players with it.
The “fish” must protect themselves from the “fishing rod” and jump over it. To prevent the “fish” from interfering with each other, there should be a distance of about half a meter between them.
The “fish” should not leave their places.
If the “fisherman” managed to catch the “fish”, that is, touch the “fishing rod”, then the place of the “fisherman” is taken by the caught “fish”.
The following condition must be observed: the rope can be twisted in any direction, but it cannot be lifted from the ground higher than 10–20 centimeters. Two people are selected for the game: one is the “cat”, the other is the “mouse”. In some cases, the number of “cats” and “mouses” is even greater. This is done to spice up the game.
All other players stand in a circle, holding hands, and form a “gate”.
The task of the “cat” is to catch up with the “mouse” (that is, to touch it with your hand). In this case, the “mouse” and “cat” can run inside and outside the circle.
Those standing in the circle sympathize with the “mouse” and help it as best they can. For example: by letting the “mouse” into the circle through the “gate,” they can close it for the “cat.” Or, if the “mouse” runs out of the “house”, the “cat” can be locked there, that is, you can give up, closing all the “gates”.
This game is not easy, especially for a “cat”. Let the “cat” show its ability to run, its cunning, and its dexterity.
When the “cat” catches the “mouse”, a new pair is selected from among the players. The driver and the players are on opposite sides of two lines, which are drawn at a distance of 5–6 meters from each other.
The task of the players is to reach the driver as quickly as possible and touch him. The one who did this becomes the driver.
But getting to the driver is not easy.
The players move only to the words of the driver: “If you drive more quietly, you will go further.” Stop!" At the word “stop” all the players freeze.
The driver, who had previously stood with his back to the players, turns and looks.
If at this moment one of the players moves, and the driver notices this, then this player will have to go back beyond the line.
The driver can make the frozen guys laugh. Whoever laughs also returns beyond the line. And then the game continues. The players are divided into two teams and stand, holding hands, facing the opposing team, at a distance of 5–7 meters.
One of the teams starts the game with the words: “Ali Baba!” The second team answers in unison:
“About what, servant?”
The first team speaks again, calling the name of one of the players on the opposing team, for example: “Fifth, tenth, Sasha is here for us!”
The named player leaves his team and runs to the enemy team, trying to break the chain with a run, that is, to unhook the players’ hands.
If he succeeds, he takes the player who unclasped his hands to his team.
If the chain is not broken, then he remains on the opposing team.
The teams start the game one by one.
The winner is the team in which, through certain time there will be more players. For this game you need a board and twelve sticks.
The board is placed on a flat stone or small log to create something like a swing.
Twelve sticks are placed on the lower end of the board, and one of the players hits the upper end so that all the sticks fly apart.
The driver collects the sticks, while the players run away and hide.
When the sticks are collected and placed on the board, the driver goes to look for the hidden ones. The found player is eliminated from the game.
Any of the hidden players can sneak up to the “swing” unnoticed by the driver and scatter the sticks again.
At the same time, hitting the board, he must shout out the name of the driver. The driver collects the sticks again, and all the players hide again.
The game ends when all the hidden players are found and the driver manages to keep his sticks.
The last player found becomes the driver. This game is also a good test of attentiveness. It is very simple, its rules are easy to explain.
With your right hand, point to the floor and say: “Floor.”
Then point to your nose (it will be better if you touch it), say: “Nose,” and then raise your hand up and say: “Ceiling.”
Take your time.
Let the guys show with you, and you will call.
Your goal is to confuse the guys. Say: “Nose,” and at this time point to the ceiling. The guys must listen carefully and show correctly.
It’s good if you cheerfully comment on what’s happening: “I see someone’s nose fell on the floor and is lying there. Let's help find the fallen off nose."
The game can be repeated many times at a faster pace.
At the end of the game, you can solemnly invite the owner of the “highest nose in the world” to the stage. Take small sheets of paper and write the name of the animal on each.
Give the sheets to the children and ask them to draw the animal they received.
While they are doing this, place chairs in a circle, one less chair than the children.
Children occupy chairs, and one of the players becomes a wild animal tamer.
He slowly walks in a circle and names all the animals in a row.
The one whose animal is named stands up and begins to walk slowly after his handler.
As soon as the tamer says the words: “Attention, hunters!”, all the players, including the tamer, try to take empty chairs.
Anyone who does not have enough space becomes a tamer of wild animals. To play you need a large basin of water.
Several apples are thrown into the basin, and then the player kneels in front of the basin, holding his hands behind his back, and tries to catch the apple with his teeth and remove it from the water.
Since children will almost certainly spill water and get splashed themselves during play, it is better to play outside and dress the children in something that will not fade or get wet. That's enough old game, it uses a traditional object that children may have never seen before.
The clothespin can be replaced with a coin, candy, or other small item.
Children take turns kneeling on a chair and trying to throw a small object (which you choose to play with) into a box or basket.
The one who could throw the most items into the basket won.
If the game involves candy, the child takes whatever is in the basket as a prize at the end of the game. It is better to play this game outside, in a spacious and level place, and it is advisable that more people play.
Children choose a leader, and the rest sit on the ground in a circle.
The leader begins to walk slowly from the outside of the circle, touches each player with his hand and says the word “duck” or “goose”.
If the player is called a duck, he continues to sit quietly; if he is a goose, he jumps up and catches up with the leader before he manages to take the goose’s free place.
If the leader succeeds, the “goose” leads the next round. To prepare for the game, take a button, thread a string or wire through it, and make a ring large enough for children to sit around the ring and grasp it with their hands.
One of the players is the leader, he is outside the circle.
At a signal, the children begin to pass the button to each other along the wire in such a way that the presenter does not guess who has it at the moment.
Whoever gets caught with a button in his hand leads the next race. Children choose a leader, he leaves the room for one minute, and at this time the children appoint a “chief”.
When the leader returns, at his command, the “main” begins to make various movements, for example, shaking his head or stamping his foot, and the children must repeat these movements after the “main”. They must do this so that the presenter does not guess who comes up with these actions.
The presenter’s task is to try to quickly guess who is “in charge”, and if he succeeds, then the “main person” becomes the leader in the next game. This is a relay race, it is similar to the game “Collect a box”.
Children are divided into two or more teams, each team is given a plastic cup of water.
A large pan or bucket is placed at a certain distance from the start.
At the signal, the participants of both teams begin the relay race. They run with a glass of water in their hands to the pan and pour water into it. Then the players run to their teams as quickly as possible and pass the cups to the next participant.
The cup is filled with water from a hose or other source (both teams share the same hose for more fun) and the player runs to the pot again.
The first team to fill the bucket with water wins. The game is intended for children, it is better to play it outside, where there is plenty of space.
Children choose a leader. His task is to come up with and perform actions that would be difficult for other players to repeat, for example, jumping over something, jumping 50 times on one leg, etc.
Anyone who fails to repeat after the leader is eliminated from the game.
You can also introduce a rule that children take turns driving, then no one drops out of the game, everyone plays just for fun. Children sit in a circle. One of the players receives a piece of paper with a sentence written on it, or one of the adults speaks this sentence to him in his ear (if the child cannot read).
Next, the player whispers into the neighbor’s ear what he heard or read, who whispers to the next one, and so on, in a circle.
The last player says the sentence out loud, and then you read out the original version.
What the children end up with is usually very different from your version! This is a very simple game and, most importantly, no one loses at it. The players' task is not to laugh.
Children sit down or stand in a circle, and one of the players says as seriously as possible: “Ha!”
The next one says: “Ha-ha!”, the third says “Ha-ha-ha!”, and so on.
Anyone who says the wrong number of “Has” or laughs is out of the game.
The game continues, and those who dropped out try to do everything to make the remaining players in the circle laugh (just without touching them).
Whoever laughs last wins. Players stand opposite each other, feet shoulder-width apart, the right foot of one participant is next to the right foot of the second participant.
They then clasp their right hands and, on cue, begin to push or pull each other, attempting to make the other lose their balance.
Whoever moves first from the original position loses. This game is played by 8 or more people.
You must have 1 coin of 10 rubles or 1 ruble (for small ones).
Children are divided into two teams and sit opposite each other at a long table.
One team receives a coin and the children pass it to each other under the table.
The leader of the opposing team slowly counts to ten (you can silently), and then says: “Hands up!”
The players of the team that passed the coin must immediately raise their hands up, with their hands clenched into fists.
The commander then says, “Hands down!” and the players must place their hands, palms down, on the table.
The one who has the coin tries to cover it with his palm.
Now the players of the opposite team confer and decide who has the coin.
If they guessed correctly, the coin goes to them; if not, it remains with the same team.
The team that correctly guesses who has the coin the most number of times wins. There are many variations of this game.
Give the children five playing cards, nuts in shells, straws for drinking water, etc. and ask them to hit the hat with these objects while standing at a certain distance from the target. Three circles with a diameter of 1, 2 and 3 steps are drawn on the floor from one center.
The numbers 10, 5 and 3 are written in circles; the smaller the circle, the larger the number.
The player stands in the smallest circle. They give him a matchbox and blindfold him, placing a strip of clean paper under the bandage.
The player walks 8 steps in any direction and, turning around, takes the same number of steps back.
Stopping, he places the box on the floor and removes the blindfold.
The number of the circle in which the box is placed determines how many points the player is awarded.
The box may appear on the line between the circles, then the winnings are equal to the smaller of the two numbers.
If the player, when returning, veers too far to the side and places the box outside the circles, 5 points are deducted from his score.
Each participant in the game, when it comes to his turn, if desired, has the right to indicate in advance in which circle he will put the box.
Under this condition, if the player is lucky, the number of points that is twice the number that marks the circle is counted; If the player makes a mistake and puts the box in the wrong circle that he indicated, then he will not be counted a single point. Five to six bags measuring 6x9 cm are sewn from dense fabric.
The bags are tightly stuffed with uncrushed peas and sewn over the edge.
Place a stool on the floor and mark a line 4-5 steps from it.
From the line, the player throws three bags, one at a time, so that the bag falls on the stool and remains on it.
Each time the player manages to do this, he gets 1 point.
The organizer of the game stands near the stool and, if a bag remains on it, immediately removes it.
The player who scores 10 points before others wins. Holding their hands behind their backs, the players stand shoulder to shoulder in a circle. One of them is holding an “invisibility hat” - a cocked hat folded from a sheet of paper. The driver is in the middle of the circle.
At a signal, the participants in the game begin to pass the hat to each other behind their backs, trying to do this so that the driver does not know who has it.
The driver walks in a circle and vigilantly watches the movements of the players. From time to time he stops and, pointing at one of the players, says loudly: “Hands!” The one to whom the driver is addressing must immediately stretch his arms forward.
If the player ends up with the cap, he changes the driver.
In a moment of danger, you should not throw your hat on the floor. Anyone who violates this rule leaves the game.
Any participant in the game, when he gets a hat, can put it on his head, unless the driver pays attention to him or is not very close.
After showing off your hat for a second, you need to take it off and pass it around.
If the driver gets dirty while the hat is on his head, you will have to give him your place and drive him yourself. Traditionally, the game used real potatoes, but they can be replaced with a tennis ball or volleyball.
Children sit in a circle, the leader is in the center. He throws a potato to one of the players and immediately closes his eyes.
Children throw it to each other, wanting to get rid of it as quickly as possible (as if it were a natural hot potato).
Suddenly the presenter commands: “Hot potatoes!”
The one who currently has a “hot potato” in his hands is eliminated from the game.
When there is only one person left in the circle, the game ends and that player is considered the winner. This game is familiar to everyone; as a rule, two people play it.
Each player, on the count of three, draws a shape with his hand - a stone (a clenched fist), paper (an open palm) or scissors (two fingers extended in a letter).
The winner is determined as follows: the scissors will cut the paper, the paper will wrap the stone, the stone will dull the scissors.
For each victory, the participant receives one point; the one who scores the most points wins. This game, like other outdoor games, is best played outdoors, with a large number of players.
Children stand in a circle, hold hands, and the leader slowly walks inside the circle.
Suddenly he stops at any two players, unclenches their hands and says: “Run, otherwise you will be left without dinner!”
Two players begin to run around the circle of children in opposite directions, and the leader stands in the circle instead of one of the players.
Whoever fills the empty space in the circle first wins, and the second player becomes the leader. This game is the opposite version of hide and seek.
Players close their eyes and count to 10 while the leader runs away and hides.
After some time, one of the players goes in search of the leader and if he does not find him in one minute, he drops out of the game. If he finds the leader, he hides with him.
Then the next participant goes out in search of the leader, and if he finds him, he also hides; if not, he drops out.
The game continues until the last person leaves the game or until everyone hides together with the leader, like sardines in a barrel.
The main thing is not to laugh! Players are divided into two teams, each team receives a sealed envelope with a “secret” task - to find another package, in it there are instructions on how to find the next one, etc.
(Each group is given different tasks and envelopes).
If the children are younger, the envelopes can be hidden at home or in the yard. For older children, the task can be made more difficult by hiding all the envelopes, except the last one, outside the house.
In this case, the penultimate package will contain instructions on how to find the last “secret package” in the apartment. All the guys know the spinning top. You can start a fun game with a spinning top. 5-6 guys stand in a circle.
One takes plywood the size of a notebook, launches a spinning top on it and quickly says: “I had a spinning top, it whined and left.”
Having said this tongue twister, you need to immediately pass the plywood with the spinning top to the neighbor on the right.
So the spinning top passes from one player to another; You can pass it on only when you say a tongue twister.
Some of the guys will have a spinning top fall sideways onto the plywood and “freeze.” Then everyone shouts: “Yula froze!”
The one who has a spinning top frozen in his hands is considered an “onlooker” - he passes the spinning top along with the plywood to his neighbor, and he himself jumps in a circle on one leg.
When the onlooker gets to his place, his neighbor launches the spinning top and the game continues.
Be careful not to drop the top on the floor when passing the plywood: whoever drops the top also becomes an onlooker - he will have to jump on one leg.
Give children more and more general, human, world content, but mainly try to introduce them to this through native and national phenomena. - V. Belinsky
The “Main Directions for the Reform of General Education and Vocational Schools” sets the task of “improving work on the comprehensive development of preschool children, cultivating a sense of beauty, developing high aesthetic tastes, the ability to understand and appreciate the beauty and richness of their native nature, and cultivating in the spirit of love for the Motherland.” Nurturing selfless love for the Motherland is the main, leading principle of Russian and Soviet pedagogy.
The homeland appears before the child for the first time in images, sounds and colors, in games. All this is abundantly contained in folk art, rich and varied in content.
Funny outdoor games are our childhood. Who doesn’t remember the constant hide and seek, traps, and tag! When did they arise? Who invented these games? There is only one answer to this question: they were created by the people, just like fairy tales and songs.
Russians folk games have a centuries-old history, they have been preserved and reached our days from ancient times, passed on from generation to generation, absorbing the best national traditions. Boys and girls gathered in the evening on the village street or outside the outskirts, danced in circles, sang songs, ran around tirelessly, playing burners, tag, and competed in dexterity, playing rounders. In winter, entertainment was of a different nature: there was mountain skiing and snowball fights; They rode horses around the villages with songs and dances. All folk games are characterized by the Russian person’s love for fun and daring.
Particularly popular and beloved were games such as burners, Russian lapta, blind man's buff, towns, and ball games. The game of blind man's buff was widespread in many regions of Russia and had different names: “Blind frying pan”, “Zhmachki”, “Chicken blindness”, “Crooked Rooster”, etc. Before starting the game, the children had a conversation with the driver in chorus: “ Cat, cat, what are you standing on? - “In the kneader” - “What’s in the kneader?” - “Kvass!” - “Catch mice, not us!” They will talk to the driver like this, and also make him turn around in one place several times, and only after that he begins to look for the players, as a rule, with their eyes closed.
There were also many games where the success of the players depended primarily on the ability to accurately throw a bat, knock down towns, catch a ball or hit a target with a ball (towns, lapta, etc.). Both the names of the games and the rules were different in different areas Russia, but what they had in common was the desire to win, to achieve victory.
Russian folk games for children are valuable from a pedagogical point of view, they have a great influence on the education of the mind, character, will, develop moral feelings, physically strengthen the child, create a certain spiritual mood, and interest in folk art.
The collection includes outdoor games collected from different sources. They are quite diverse in their content, themes and organization. Some games have a plot, their rules are closely related to the plot (for example, “Kite”, “Hen”, “Geese-Swans”, “The Herd”). In games like “Lyapka”, “Three are many, two are enough”, “Hot Seat” there is no plot and roles, all children’s attention is directed to movement and rules. There are games in which the plot and actions of the players are determined by the text. In the game “Paints” the buyer talks to the driver: “Knock-knock!” -
"Who's there?" - “Buyer.” - “Why did you come?” - “For paint” - “For which one?” - “For blue.”
Various songs are attractive for children in Russian games. In the game "Corners" each dash is accompanied by singing. At the last word, the players change places, and the buyer-driver strives to occupy the corner vacated during the dash.
In games like “Burners,” the text distracts the attention of the catcher; while singing, he must look up.
The collection presents games mainly for children of senior preschool age. They are divided by types of movements: games with running, jumping, throwing; some of them can be carried out both in warm and cold seasons. Low mobility games are also presented, suitable for playing in inclement weather in a limited area.
The collection contains many ancient and modern rhymes and conspiracies. In any Russian game there is always a driver or presenter. There are usually many people willing to fill this role, but you need to choose one, sometimes two, which is what counting rhymes and conspiracies are used for.
The driver can also be chosen by drawing lots. It is carried out differently than counting, and is used in those games where you need to split into two parties.
In practice preschool education folk games are rare. In some collections there are folk games, but they are so changed that in the new version they have lost folk traditions, are deprived of the game’s origin, etc.
Russian folk games and their variants, given in the collection, are available to preschool children. They can be successfully used in working with children during walks and physical education.
Section I. RUNNING GAMES
Paths
Lines of different shapes are drawn on the ground - these are paths. The players run along them one after another, make difficult turns, while maintaining balance. You need to run along the path, stepping exactly on the line, not interfering with each other and not bumping into the person running in front.
Instructions for carrying out. The game can be played with any number of children. The length of the track can be arbitrary, but not less than 3 m. This game can be played as a competition. Draw several lines of the same shape and place colored flags at the end of each. The first player to reach the flag must quickly raise it above his head.
Snake
Children take each other's hands to form a chain. One of the extreme players in the chain is chosen as the leader. He runs, carrying all the participants in the game with him, as he runs he describes various figures: in a circle, around trees, making sharp turns, jumping over obstacles; moves the chain like a snake, twisting it around the end player, then develops it. The snake stops and spins around the leader.
Rules. 1. The players must hold each other’s hands tightly so that the snake does not break.
2. Exactly repeat the leader’s movements.
3. The leader is not allowed to run fast.
Instructions for carrying out. You can play “Snake” at any time of the year on a spacious area, lawn, or forest edge. The more players there are, the more fun the game is. To make it lively, we need to teach children to come up with interesting situations. For example, the presenter calls the last player by name, the named child and the one standing next to him stop, raise their hands, and the presenter guides the snake through the gate.
Or: at the leader’s signal, the children scatter, then restore the snake.
Shuttle (Fig. 1)
All participants in the game stand in pairs facing each other and join hands - this is the gate. Children from the last pair run or pass under the gate and stand in front of the column, followed by the next pair. The game ends when all players pass under the gate.
Rules. 1. You need to run or walk so as not to hit the gate.
2. As they run through the gate, the children hold each other’s hands.
Instructions for carrying out. The height of the gate can be different: children can raise their arms and hold them at shoulder level or at waist level. The lower the gate, the more difficult it is to run under it.
A more complex option is when children, running through the gate, carry various objects, for example, a ball in a spoon, a bucket filled with water, or pass by rolling their hand in front of them. big ball.
Empty space (Fig. 2)
The players stand in a circle and choose a driver. Starting the game, he runs past the players, spots one of them and continues to run further in a circle. The stained one quickly runs in the opposite direction from the driver. Whichever of them is the first to reach an empty space in the circle takes it, and the one who is late becomes the driver.
Rules. 1. Children only run in circles.
2. Those standing in a circle should not delay those running.
3. If children run to a free place at the same time, then they both stand in a circle and a new driver is chosen.
Instructions for carrying out. They play this game at any time of the year on a large area where they can run around without interference.
The participants of the game stand in a circle at a distance of one step from each other, everyone’s hands are lowered. If there are a lot of children, it is better to organize two circles of players.

The game begins by choosing a driver, he is called tag. All participants in the game scatter around the site, and the tag catches up with them. Whoever he touches with his hand becomes a tag.
Rules. 1. During the game, children need to carefully monitor the change of drivers.
2. Fifteen should not run after only one player.
Tag with house
Two circles are drawn along the edges of the site - these are houses. Children, running away from the driver, can run into the house, where the tag cannot salt them. If he touches the player on the playing field with his hand, then the one who is touched becomes a tag.
Options
1. To avoid staining, you need to sit down or stand on some object.
2. When the tag catches up with the player, he can jump on two legs like a bunny, and he can no longer be spotted ("Bunny" tags).
3. The player who has been spotted, if he is fast and dexterous, can immediately return the spot to the driver, and the former player remains the tag (“Tags with transfer”).
4. Everyone playing, except for tag, chooses a name for themselves from flowers, birds, animals. The tag does not stain the one who said his name in time, for example, “fox” (“Fifteen with a name”).
Interrupted tag
In this game, Fifteen needs to loudly say the name of the player he wants to stain. But if, during the pursuit, the tag sees that another participant in the game is next to him, he changes his decision, calls him by name and tries to catch up with him and stain him. The Tainted One leaves the game.
Rules. 1. Fifteen first calls the player by name, and then catches up with him and spots him.
2. In the game, the tag can change its decision many times depending on the situation.
Circle tag
The participants of the game stand in a circle, each marking their place with a circle. Two players stand behind a circle at some distance from each other, one of them is a tag, he catches up with the second. If the runner sees that the tag is catching up with him, he calls one of those close to him in the circle by name. He leaves his place and runs in a circle away from the tag, and the player takes his place. A free circle can also be occupied by a tag, then the tag becomes the one who is left without a place. He catches up with the player who ran out of the circle.
Rules.
1. Running in a circle is not allowed.
2. The player running away from the tag can run no more than one circle.
3. If the tag hits the runner, then they change places.
Instructions for carrying out. During the game, children must be very attentive; if the player is lazy, he will let his friend down. Children stand in a circle at a distance of one step from each other, facing the center. A tag can be replaced if it has run two laps and has not stained or taken up an empty seat.
The game will be fun and interesting if the runners quickly change places.
Beware! (Fig. 3)
A cord is pulled out on one side of the platform, and a tag becomes behind it. All participants in the game are on the opposite side of the site, where their home is located. Fifteen loudly says the words: “Beware once, beware two, beware three!” At this time, the players walk across the field and come close to the cord. With the last word, the tag jumps over the cord and tries to catch up and stain one of the children. Together with the stained one, he quickly runs away behind the cord. The game is repeated, but there are two tags.
Rules.
1. The players run to their house only after the words of the tag: “Beware three!”
2. Fifteen is allowed to hit only one player.
3. The tag only jumps over the cord, but if, while jumping over, it touches the cord, then it repeats the jump.
4. Players cannot be salted outside the house.
Instructions for carrying out. The game is played on a large free area. The distance between the players' house and the place where the tag is located is 10-20 m. The height of the cord can be changed during the game: the higher the cord, the more difficult it is for the driver to jump over it. The words “Beware once, beware two, beware three!” the tag says slowly so that the players can get closer to the cord. The closer they are to the cord, the easier it is to pick them off.
Option. The players catch up with the tag and the player he takes with him, and try to stain one of them until they jump over the cord. The one they stained returns to the field.
The driver runs after the children and, trying to insult someone, says: “I insulted you, you insult someone else!” The new driver, catching up with one of the players, repeats the same words.
Option. The driver catches someone and asks the caught person: “Who had it?” - “At my aunt’s.” - “What did you eat?” - “Dumplings.” - “Who did you give it to?” The person who is caught calls one of the game participants by name, and the named one becomes the driver. The game repeats itself.
Rules. 1. The driver runs after only one of the players.
2. Participants in the game must carefully observe the change of drivers.
Traps in a circle
A large circle is drawn on the site, a stick is placed in the middle of it, and the circle is divided into two parts. All participants in the trap game stand on different sides of the circle. The trap, running around the stick, runs from one side of the circle to the other and tries to catch one of the players. The one who is caught becomes a trap.
Rules. 1. During the game, the trap should not run over the stick and run out of the circle. Other players run over the stick. The length of the stick should be less than the diameter of the circle.
2. You cannot stand with your feet on a stick.
Option
All participants in the game, except for the trap, stand behind the circle. They run across the circle, and the trap catches them. The caught player becomes a trap.
Three is too much, two is enough (Fig. 4)
Children stand in pairs one after another, facing the center of the circle. Two people start the game, one of them is the driver, he stands 3-4 steps behind the one who is running away from him.
The person running away claps his hands three times, after the third clap he runs away from the driver. In order not to be insulted, he stands in front of some couple. Before getting up, he shouts as he runs: “Three are too many, two is enough.” The one who stands last in this game runs away from the driver.
If the driver manages to smear the runner, then they change roles.
Rules. 1. During the game you cannot run through the circle.
2. The runner must not run more than two laps.
3. As soon as he runs into the circle, he must immediately stand in front of some pair. Anyone who breaks this rule becomes the driver.
Instructions for carrying out. If the driver managed to show off the runner and they switched roles, then the runner can stand in front of one of the pairs after a short run.
Sometimes the driver does not manage to catch up with the players running away from him for a long time, since they are stronger than him and run faster. In this case, you need to replace him, but not reproach him, but positively evaluate his efforts.
Eagle owl and birds
The players choose an owl, he goes to his nest. Imitating the cry of the bird they have chosen, the players fly around the playground.
At the signal “Owl!” all the birds are trying to fly to their nests. If an eagle owl manages to catch someone, then he must guess what kind of bird it is, and only then does the caught one become an eagle owl.
Instructions for carrying out. Before starting the game, children choose for themselves the names of those birds whose voice they can imitate (for example, dove, crow, jackdaw, sparrow, tit, crane, etc.). It is better to choose bird and eagle owl nests on tall objects(on stumps, benches, etc.). Each bird hides from the eagle owl in its own nest.
Option. Children are divided into 3-4 subgroups and agree on which birds they will portray. Then they approach the eagle owl and say: “We are magpies, where is our home?”; “We are seagulls, where is our home?”; “We are ducks, where is our home?” The eagle owl names the place where the birds should live. Birds fly around the site, and at the word “Owl” they hide in their nests. The eagle owl must recognize the caught bird.
All participants in the game stand in a circle. The driver with a handkerchief follows the circle, puts it on the shoulder of one of the players and quickly runs around the circle, and the one who was given the handkerchief takes it in his hand and runs after the driver. Both of them try to take an empty place in the circle.
If the player with the handkerchief catches up with the driver and is able to put the handkerchief on his shoulder before he takes a free place in the circle, he again becomes the driver, and the player who gave the handkerchief takes the free place. If the runner is the first to stand in the circle, then the player with the scarf remains the driver. He walks in a circle, puts a handkerchief on someone’s shoulder, and the game continues.
Rules.
1. Children should not run across the circle.
2. While running, you are not allowed to touch those standing in the circle with your hands.
3. Standing players must not delay running players.
4. The players should not turn around while the driver is choosing who to put the scarf on their shoulder.
Instructions for carrying out. The more children take part in this game, the wider the circle will be, which means that more effort will be needed to occupy an empty seat. Children in a circle stand one step apart from each other.
Chickens
The players choose a mistress and a cockerel, everyone else chooses hens. The cockerel takes the hens for a walk and to peck the grains. The housewife comes out and asks the cockerel: “Cockerel, cockerel, have you seen my chicken?” “What is yours like?” - asks the cockerel. “It’s speckled, and the tail is black.” - “No, I haven’t seen it.”
The hostess claps her hands and shouts: “Kshsh! Kshsh!” The hens run into the house, and the housewife catches them, the cockerel protects the hens.
The owner takes all the caught chickens into the house.
Rules.
1. Chickens run into the house only when they say: “Kshsh, kshsh!”
2. The cockerel, while protecting the hens, should not push away the mistress. He, with his wings wide open, stands in her way.
Instructions for carrying out. The housewife and the cockerel with the hens should be kept as far apart as possible (10-20 m). To complicate the game, on the way to the house, the chickens overcome obstacles, fly over a fence (jump over a stretched cord) or run along a bridge over a stream. In their home they fly up to a perch (on a bench).
By the bear in the forest
The players choose a bear and determine the location of its den. Children go to the forest to pick mushrooms and berries and sing a song:
The bear in the forest is tired of the bear,
I'll take mushrooms and berries! Frozen on the stove!
The bear wakes up, leaves the den, and slowly walks across the clearing. Suddenly he quickly runs after the players and tries to catch someone.
The one who is caught becomes a bear.

Geese-swans
Participants in the game choose a wolf and a master, all the rest are geese-swans. On one side of the site there is a house where the owner and geese live, on the other there is a wolf under the mountain. The owner lets the geese out into the field to take a walk and browse some green grass. Geese are leaving home
far. After a while, the owner calls the geese: “Geese-swans, come home!” The geese answer: “The old wolf is under the mountain!” - "What
Is he doing there? - “It’s nibbling on little gray hazel grouse.” - “Well, run home!” The geese run home, and the wolf catches them.
The one caught leaves the game. The game ends when all the geese

Rules.
1. Geese can fly home, but the wolf can catch them
only after the words: “Well, run home!”
2. When geese enter the field, they must disperse throughout the entire area.
Horses
All participants in the game are divided into threes, each three has a coachman and two horses. During the game, the driver gives various commands, the horses carry them out, and the coachman controls and carefully watches whether the horses perform all the movements accurately. The horses walk at a walk, gallop in a circle, turn right, left, etc.
To the words of the presenter: “Horses, in different directions!” - the coachman lets go of the reins, and the horses quickly scatter around the area. To the words: “Find your coachman!” - they find their coachman as quickly as possible. When the game is repeated in each trio, the coachman changes.
Rules. 1. Horses must follow all commands accurately.
2. The coachman whose horses make a mistake receives a fine - a blue ribbon is tied to his reins.
Instructions for carrying out. The most difficult part in this game is the role of the driver, who comes up with various movements for the horses. Therefore, when the game is played for the first time, an adult plays the role of driver. At the end of the game, so that the triplets get together, you can give a new task: “Coachman, find your horses!”
The game ends as soon as the three players play the role of coachman. At the end of the game, the top three are awarded.
Lifesaver (Black stick)
Children choose a driver using a counting rhyme. He runs away from them and faces the wall. There is a magic wand against the wall. The driver takes the stick, knocks on the wall and says: “The stick came, but didn’t find anyone. Whoever he finds first will go for the wand.” After these words, he puts his wand against the wall and goes to look. Noticing one of the players, he loudly calls him by name, quickly runs up to the wall, takes a stick, knocks on the wall with it and shouts: “I found a magic wand...” (calls him by the name of the player). This is how the driver finds all the children. When repeating the game, the one who was found first must drive.
If the player who has been found runs to the magic wand before the driver, he quickly takes the wand and says: “Wand, help me out!” - knocks it on the wall, then throws it as far as possible and, while the driver is looking for it, hides. The driver finds a stick, returns to the appointed place, knocks with it and says loudly: “The stick came, it didn’t find anyone, whoever it finds first will go for the stick!”
Rules.
1. The driver should not spy when the children are hiding.
2. The driver speaks the words slowly so that all the children can hide.
3. He must search throughout the entire area, not stand near the magic wand.
4. Children can run from one hiding place to another while the driver looks for the magic wand and puts it in place.
Instructions for carrying out. This game is good to play on the edge of the forest. It is imperative to limit the play area and show children several places where they can hide (behind bushes, trees, stumps, in a ditch, in tall grass).
To play the game, you need to make a magic wand from wood 50-60 cm long, paint it in a bright color so that it is clearly visible in the green grass.
Complication for the game. You can help out the player who was found by the driver. If one of the players comes out of hiding unnoticed, quickly runs up to the magic wand, knocks it on the wall with the words: “Lifesaver, help me out...” - and calls the person being rescued by name. The stick is thrown as far as possible, and while the driver is looking for it, the children hide again.
The players choose a shepherd and a wolf, everyone else chooses sheep. The wolf's house is in the middle of the site, and the sheep have two houses at opposite ends of the site.
The sheep call loudly to the shepherd:
Shepherd, shepherd,
Play the horn!
The grass is soft
Sweet dew!
Drive the herd into the field
Take a walk in freedom!
The shepherd drives the sheep out into the meadow; they walk, run, jump, and nibble grass. At the shepherd’s signal “Wolf!” the sheep run into the house - to the opposite side of the site. The shepherd stands in the way of the wolf and protects the sheep. Everyone caught by the wolf leaves the game.
Rules.
1. During the run, sheep should not return to the house from which they left.
2. The wolf does not catch sheep, but kills them with his hand.
3. The shepherd only shields the sheep from the wolf, but should not hold it back with his hand.
Hot seat
A line is drawn on the site, behind which there is a hot spot. The driver stands 3-4 steps away from him. Children disperse across the playing field.
The players need to run from the playing field to the hot spot and return back, but the driver does not let them in. The one he insulted remains behind the line in a hot spot. As soon as the driver hits the sixth player, the game ends. Everyone goes to the field, and the sixth player becomes the driver.
The winners are those players who managed to run to the hot spot several times.
Instructions for carrying out. Where the hot spot is, there are ribbons. The players who managed to run to the hot spot take a ribbon. At the end of the game, by the number of ribbons you can find out which of the players is the bravest and most dexterous. If the player with the ribbons is still insulted, he puts one ribbon in its place and remains behind the line.
Dashes
On opposite sides of the site, two houses are marked with lines, the distance between them is 10-20 m. The participants of the game are divided into two equal groups and occupy the houses. The driver stands in the middle of the platform. Players need to move from one house to another. The driver does not let them pass, he tries to make people run across. Salenny leaves the game. The group with the most players at the end of the game wins.
Dashes with help (Fig. 5)
The game is played as simple dashes, only two circles are drawn on the site not far from the lines of the houses. Players, displeased by the drivers, do not leave the game, but stand in one of the circles. They can be rescued by players of the same team. Running past, the player takes the victim, who is standing in a circle, by the hand and runs with him to his team’s house.
Stop! (Fig. 6)
On one side of the platform a circle is outlined (about 1 m in diameter) - a place for the driver. At a distance of 20-30 steps from the circle, at the opposite end of the court, a horse line is drawn, with the players standing behind it.
The driver, standing with his back to the field, says loudly: “Walk quickly, make sure you don’t yawn... Stop!” When he says these words, the children quickly go to him, but at the word “Stop!” freeze in place. The driver quickly looks around and, noticing someone who did not have time to stop in time and did after the word “Stop!” movement, returns it behind the stake line. The driver turns his back again and says the words, and the children begin their movement from the place where the signal found them.
The game continues until one of the participants in the game stands with both feet in a circle before the driver says the word “Stop!” The one who did this becomes the driver, and the game is repeated.
Rules. 1. The driver is not allowed to look back until the word “Stop!”
2. He can say the phrase: “Walk quickly, look, don’t yawn... Stop!” - at any pace, but loudly.
3. The players begin to move simultaneously with the words of the driver. You are only allowed to move by walking.
Instructions for carrying out. To occupy the circle of the driver, you need to be attentive, have self-control and be able to quickly respond to a signal. This is one of the few games where a child wins the right to be the driver.
The game is very interesting if the driver says the words
at different paces: sometimes very quickly, before the word “Stop!” pausing, then starting slowly and ending quickly.
Game "Stop!" can be carried out at any time of the year.
Options
1. All participants in the game have balls. To the driver’s word: “Walk quickly, look, don’t yawn... Stop!” - children go and play ball at the same time, doing any exercise. They can dribble the ball, hitting it with one hand, alternately with their right and left, throw it up and catch it, etc.
2. The driver says the words and plays the ball at the same time. While moving, children perform the same exercises as the driver.
3. Only the driver has the ball. He says the words: “Walk quickly, look, don’t yawn.” All players go towards the driver: “One, two, three, run!” To the word “Run!” children run to the horse line, and the driver quickly turns and, without leaving his place, throws the ball at the runners. The one who was hit by the ball becomes the driver. If the driver misses, then he drives again. But it also happens that while the driver was speaking the words, one of the children reached the circle and managed to stand in it. The driver finishes the phrase, passes the ball to the one who stood in the circle, and runs away with the players behind the line.
Burners
Before starting the game, you need to choose the driver, the one who will “burn” - hence the name of the game.
All participants in the game stand in pairs, one after another, with the leader in front, at a distance of two steps from the players. Participants in the game chant the words:
Burn, burn clearly
So that it doesn't go out.
Stay at your hem
Look at the field:
Rooks are walking
Yes, they eat rolls.
Birds are flying
The bells are ringing!
As soon as these words are sung, the driver should look at the sky, and the children of the last pair let go of their hands and quietly run along the column, one on the left, the other on the right. When they catch up with the driver, everyone shouts loudly to him:
One, two, don't be a crow.
Run like fire!
Two children run forward, deftly dodging the driver, trying to take each other’s hands. If they hold hands, then the “burner” is not scary for them, they calmly walk and stand in front of the first pair, and the driver “burns” again.
If the driver does not catch the runners when the game is repeated, then he “burns” a second time. If he doesn’t catch anyone the third time, the players can sing the following song:
Ogarushek, ogarushek!
You stand badly -
Stand on the black pebble!
You'll completely burn out!
(Cinder, cinder - the remnant of an unburned candle.)
But if the driver manages to catch one of the runners, he stands with him in front of the entire column, and the one who is left without a partner “burns.”
The game continues until all the pairs have passed.
Rules.
1. The driver should not turn back.
2. He catches up with those running away immediately after the words: “Run like fire!”
3. The players of the last pair start running only with the last words: “The bells are ringing!”
Instructions for carrying out. Burners - very fun game, they play it in the warm season. There can be many players, the more, the merrier.
Burners with handkerchief (Fig. 7)
All participants in the game stand in pairs one after another, the driver stands in front of the column and holds a handkerchief in his hand above his head.
The players say in chorus:
Burn, burn, oil,
Burn, burn clearly
So that it doesn't go out.
Look at the sky
Birds are flying!
After the words “Birds are flying!” the players of the last pair quickly run forward, and whichever of them is the first to take a handkerchief stands with the driver in front of the column, and the latecomer “burns.”
Double burners
The players stand in pairs in two columns at some distance from one another. At the front of each column are the drivers. With the last words “The birds are flying!” children standing in the last pairs run along the columns (one on the left, the other on the right), trying to join in pairs in front of the column. The drivers do not allow them to see each other and try to tarnish one of them.
If the running players managed to take each other’s hands before they stained one of them, they stand first in the columns, and the drivers “burn” again. If the driver manages to spot a running child, he stands with him in front of the column, and the players left without a pair become “burning”.
Option (Fig. 8). The players stand in two columns in pairs, one opposite the other at a distance of 10-15 m. The drivers are the first in the columns. After the words “The bells are ringing!” the children of the last pairs from each column release their hands and run forward, trying to pair up with the players of the opposite column. Holding hands, they stand in front of one of the columns.
The drivers try to insult one of the players until they connect. The driver and the player whom he insulted stand in front of the column. The one of the players who is left without a pair “burns.”
Lace (Fig. 9)
Children choose two drivers, one of them is the shuttle, the other is the weaver. The rest stand in pairs in a circle or semicircle facing the center. Children in pairs take each other's hands and make gates. The shuttle stands at the second pair, and the weaver stands at the first. At the weaver's signal, the shuttle begins to run like a snake, not passing the gate, and the weaver catches up with it. If the weaver catches up with the shuttle before it reaches the end of the semicircle, then it becomes a shuttle. The child who was the shuttle goes to the beginning of the semicircle, chooses the player of the first pair and stands with him at the opposite end of the semicircle, the player left without a pair becomes the weaver.
If the shuttle runs to the last gate and is not caught, then he and the weaver are the last to stand, and the first pair begins the game. One of the players in the first pair plays the role of a shuttle, and the second plays the role of a weaver.
Rules.
1. The shuttle starts the game only at the weaver’s signal.
2. The weaver and the shuttle, when running under the goal, should not touch the players standing in pairs with their hands.
Cat and mouse
Before starting the game, the players choose a cat and a mouse, take each other’s hands and stand in a circle. The cat stands behind the circle, the mouse is in the circle. The cat tries to enter the circle and catch the mouse, but the players close the entrances in front of it. She tries to crawl under the gate, the players crouch down and do not let her into the circle.
When the cat finally makes its way into the circle, the children immediately open the gate and the mouse runs out of the circle. And they try not to let the cat out of the circle. If the cat catches the mouse, then they stand in a circle, and the players choose a new cat and mouse.
Rules.
1. The cat can catch the mouse both in the circle and outside the circle.
2. Players open the gate only for the mouse.
Instructions for carrying out. If the cat cannot catch the mouse for a long time, a new pair is chosen.
Complications.
1. During the game, children slowly move in a circle, first in one direction, then in the other, with everyone’s hands down. The cat and mouse run freely, the children do not close the gate.
2. Two pairs can play at the same time, but in this case the cat runs after only one mouse.
Mouse and two cats (Fig. 10)
For this game you need to choose two cats and one mouse. The players stand in a circle and hold hands. On opposite sides of the circle, the gates are open, cats run into the circle and run out of it only through the open gates. In front of the mouse, the players open any gate. If one of the cats managed to catch the mouse, she stands in a circle with it, and the second cat chooses the other cat and mouse to play with.
Cat and mouse in the maze
The players stand in rows of 5-10 people and take each other’s hands. The mouse runs away from the cat between the rows. As soon as
the cat begins to catch up with the mouse; at the signal from the leader (adult), the players lower their hands, turn to the right or left and line up in perpendicular rows. The cat again finds itself far from the mouse. When the cat finally catches the mouse, they stand together in one of the rows, and the players choose another pair.
The sea is agitated
The participants of the game scatter around the site, stop at a distance of 1 m from each other, and each person marks their place with a circle. The driver walks between the players, performing different movements. He approaches the players and, with the words “The sea is worried,” puts his hand on the player’s shoulder. Everyone whom the driver touches follows him, performing the same movements. So the players all leave their places. The driver takes them as far away from the circles as possible. Then he suddenly stops, turns to the players and quickly says: “The sea is calm.” The driver and the players run to occupy the mugs. The one who did not have time to occupy the circle becomes the leader.
On opposite sides of the site, two cities are marked with lines at a distance of 10-20 m from each other. Game lines are drawn 2-3 steps from the city, and the place of captivity is marked on the left side.
Children are divided into two groups, go to their city, stand one after another facing the city line. At a signal from an adult, the first numbers run to the town of their opponents, run to the playing line, stand on it with one foot and quickly return to their city. The players who are second in teams catch up with those running away. If they manage to nag those running away, they take them captive, while they themselves stand last in their ranks.
Then the third numbers run towards the enemy city, and the fourth numbers catch up with them, etc.
If the player who is catching up runs out of the city before the opponent steps on the game line, they shout to him: “Wrong!” He must return to the city, take his place and only then begin to catch up with the enemy. Those who are catching up do not always manage to catch up with those who are running away. In this case, they return to their city and stand last in the row.
The group with the most players left wins.
Rules.
1. It is not allowed to spot the opponent behind the playing line.
2. The second player begins to pursue the opponent only after he has stepped on the play line with his foot.
3. Players can free their comrade from captivity if they hit him in the palm of his outstretched hand.
Pike and crucian carp
On opposite sides of the site, mark the place of the hole where crucian carp hide from the pike. Pike lives in the reeds.
Before the start of the game, all the crucian carp gather in one hole. At a signal, they swim out of the shelter and try to move to the opposite side of the river. Pike goes hunting. Caught crucian carp do not leave the game, they take each other by the hands and stand in the middle playground, form a network. The remaining crucian carp, swimming from one side of the site to the other, pass through the net. There are more and more people caught, the net is getting longer. Then a basket is made from the net, and the players stand in a circle. Participants in the game must run into the basket when running. The game ends when the pike catches all the crucian carp.
Rule. Pike should not swim into the net or into the basket for crucian carp.
Instructions for carrying out. The more players there are, the more interesting the game is. Holes for crucian carp can be marked with a simple line, but it is better to pull a cord under which the crucian carp swim. The places where the pike hides (there can be 3-4 of them) need to be made along the edges of the area.
Excited players can make a network when there are at least 3-4 of them. If at the beginning of the game the pike hit, for example, only one player, then he stands aside and waits for there to be more of them. Players representing the network can be placed in two rows.
Bears with a chain
A circle is outlined on the playground - this is a den where two bears live. The players walk around the site, watching the den. The bears are waiting for an opportunity, unexpectedly run out onto the playground, holding hands, and catch up with the players. If they insult the player, they loudly call him by name, take his hands and quickly run away to the den. Players can help out their comrades: if they catch up with the bears and touch their hand
one of them. then the bear releases the caught one.
Corners (Kumushki)
For this game you need to draw a quadrilateral. There are 5 participants, one of them is the driver, and four occupy the corners. The driver approaches one of the players and says: “Gossip,
give me the keys! The one standing in the corner replies: “Go, knock over there!” At this time, the remaining players run from corner to corner. If the driver manages to take the corner, then the player who was left without a corner takes his place.
Option. The players stand in a circle, each marking their place with a pebble or drawing a small circle. The driver stands in the center of the large circle. He approaches one of the players and says: “Gossip, give me the keys!” They answer him: “Go, there
knock!” While the driver goes to the next player, the children change places.
The driver should not yawn and try to occupy the circle. The player left without a seat becomes the driver.
Instructions for carrying out. The game had different names: “Keys”, “Neighbors”, “Corners”. The game is good for pain
shoy platform. At first, the corners should be placed close to one another, then it will be easier for the driver to occupy the corner. Then the distance can be increased. If there are trees on the site that are located close to each other, then the players stand near the trees. The driver can also say the following words:
Mouse, mouse, sell the corner!
For the awl, for the soap, for the white towel,
For the mirror.
Day and night (Fig. 11)
A line is drawn in the middle of the site, and two cities are marked on both sides of it, 20-30 steps away. The players are divided into two equal groups: one of them is night, the other is day. Stand at a distance of 1 m from the center line, 2 steps apart. Opposite each group is the enemy's house.
When everyone has taken their place, the leader casts lots - a board painted black on one side. If the white side of the board falls, the presenter shouts loudly: “Day!”
Players from the day group turn and, running between the night players, quickly run to their home. They run after them and try to tarnish them. The stained ones move into the group of the night.
The leader casts lots again and the game continues. The group with the most successful players wins.
Rules.
1. It is forbidden to run to your house before the leader gives a signal.
2. You cannot kill players outside the city limits.
3. It is not allowed to turn back when players are running to their city.
4. You can catch up with those running away only when they all run past the opponents.
5. When repeating the game, all players stand at the center line.
Run and run away (Fig. 12)
On opposite sides of the site, lines are drawn at a distance of 10 m from each other - these are houses. The players are divided into 2-3 groups and stand on the same line. Children appointed as drivers go to the opposite side and stand at the line, each opposite their group.
The first numbers start the game. At a signal, they run to the opposite line, reach the drivers, hit them on the outstretched palm and quickly return. The drivers try to catch up with those running away and make them look bad.
If the player is upset, then he goes to the driver’s side and stands in front of him. Players who managed to leave unsalted stand at the end of their row. The game ends when they run
the last players in the groups. The group with the fewest players in the game wins.
Instructions for carrying out. If the area of the playing area allows, then the distance between houses can be increased to 30 m. The number of players is not limited. If more than 25 people take part in the game, you need to divide them into 4 groups.
Hares in the forest
For the game they choose hares and a fox, the rest of the children choose trees. Lines are drawn on opposite sides of the site - these are fields. On one of them, hares gather before the start of the game.
Children representing trees stand from each other at a distance that allows them to hold hands. The fox lives in a hole at the edge of the forest (the hole is indicated by a circle).
Hares run into the forest, they need to move from one field to another, but a fox is hunting for them. She tries to catch hares, and takes the caught ones to her house.
The trees prevent the fox from running through the forest: the children take each other’s hands, squat, bend over, and wave their arms. Hares pass freely between the trees. The game ends when all the hares move to the opposite side. Starting the game again, children choose hares and fox again.
Rule. The caught hares remain in the fox's hole until the end of the game.
Instructions for carrying out. In this game, the number of hares and foxes may be different, depending on the number of players. The more foxes, the more difficult it is for hares to run through the forest. The entire course of the game depends on the trees. Children playing the role of trees must carefully observe the actions of the sly fox and constantly change the position of their hands and rearrange themselves.
Pie
The players stand one after another, holding their belts. The baker stands in front, he is the leader, the last one is the pie. A customer approaches the baker and asks: “Where is my pie?” The baker replies: “It lies behind the stove.” The Last Pie Player
shouts: “I’m running, running!” With these words he runs away
presenter, and the buyer tries to catch him. If the pie manages to stand in front of the leader, he becomes the baker, and the last player becomes the pie, and the buyer goes to buy again. If the pie is caught, then he plays the role of a buyer, and the buyer acts as a baker.
Rule. The buyer should not stand in one place; after the words “Behind the stove lies,” he runs to the end of the column and catches the pie.
Cossacks and robbers
The players are divided into two groups. One by lot depicts Cossacks, and the other - robbers. The robbers run away and hide. Cossacks have their own home (camp). They leave to catch robbers, leaving one Cossack to guard the camp. Caught-
The Cossacks bring the great robbers to the camp. The game ends when all the robbers are caught.
Instructions for carrying out. The game is especially interesting at the edge of the forest, where there are trees, bushes, and small holes. Then it is more difficult for the Cossacks to catch the robbers. Sometimes it is agreed that captured robbers become Cossacks. To distinguish robbers from Cossacks, you can tie scarves around your neck or pin them distinctive sign on the sleeve. If the game takes place on the edge of a forest, then you need to limit the place where the robbers should hide.
Hide and seek with the house
A house is outlined on the playground. The driver chosen by the children stands near the house, closes his eyes and waits for everyone to hide. At the signal, he goes to look for the children. He loudly calls everyone he finds by name, he quickly runs out of hiding and runs to the house, the driver catches up with him and tries to disgrace him. The stained player becomes the driver.
As the game progresses, it also happens that the one found manages to run home unspotted, then the driver leads again, and the player hides with everyone else.
Pozhmurki
On the playground they mark the house for the driver - the blind man. He gets up into the house, turns away, closes his eyes, all the players run away and hide. The driver goes out to search, calls the person he finds by name and quickly runs to his house. The player who has been found tries to catch up with the driver and make fun of him before he runs into the house. If he succeeds, then he shouts: “To the porridge!” All players come out of hiding, stand around the driver and say the words:
I eat, I eat porridge,
I eat straw.
Eat with us, Aponas,
Catch up with us!
After these words, the children run away, and the driver catches up with them. The one he stains becomes the leader. If the driver reaches the house and is not spotted, then he goes to hide, and the one found takes his place.
Rule. The driver must look for players all over the court.
A stake is driven in in the middle of the site, a rope 3 to 5 m long is tied to it. A circle is drawn around the stake for the length of the rope. The driver takes the free end of it and stands at the stake. The participants of the game stand behind the circle, turn their backs to the center and throw each object (for example, a bag of sand) over their heads. Turning to the driver, they ask him: “Have you woven bast shoes?” The driver answers:
"No". The players ask again: “Have you woven bast shoes?” - and hear the same answer. They ask for the third time: “Have you woven bast shoes?” - “Weaved!” - the driver answers. Then the children run in a circle and try to take their object, and the driver guards the bast shoes: he runs in a circle and tries to stain the players.
The one whom the driver has tainted takes his place. The players take their items and the game starts over.
Sometimes the driver, no matter how much he runs in circles, fails to stain the players, and he leads again.
Rules. 1. The driver runs in a circle only for the length of the extended rope; he is not allowed to run outside the circle.
2. If the player fails to take his item, he leaves the game.
3. Players playing in a circle are allowed to move from one place to another.
4. The driver can salt the players only in a circle.
Instructions for carrying out. Better game spend on
a large area, in this case the running distance for both players and drivers increases.
The game is more fun if two drivers guard the thrown objects in the center of the circle. This creates certain difficulties for the players.
Baskets (Fig. 13)
The players are divided into pairs and disperse around the site. They take each other's hands and form circles-baskets.
Two drivers stand at some distance from each other, one of them is a tag, he catches up with the second player. The runner runs between pairs and, so as not to be insulted, quickly calls one player from any pair by name. The player whose name was called runs away, and the player of the leading pair takes his place. If the tag hits the runner, they take each other’s hands and form a basket.
Rule. The children of the driving couple should not run far from the rest of the players.
Catching birds on the fly
One of the players is a bird catcher, he stands facing the wall. The players are divided into groups of several people and agree on which birds they will represent. Then they approach the bird catcher and ask: “We are magpies, where is our home?”; “We are jackdaws, where is our home?” The bird catcher names the place where the birds should live, and the children occupy their houses.
To the words of the bird catcher: “I catch birds on the fly!” - birds fly in different directions around the site, shouting merrily. The bird catcher catches them. The caught player becomes a bird catcher, the birds fly back to their homes. The game repeats itself.
Rules.
1. Birds should fly out of their home only after the bird catcher’s words and fly throughout the entire area.
2. Each group occupies only its own house.
3. The one who makes a mistake leaves the game.
Instructions for carrying out. Players can imitate the cry of the birds they are portraying. The game can be complicated if each new birder changes the location of the bird houses.
Town
A square is drawn on the ground - a town, each side of which is 6-10 steps.
The players are divided into two equal groups, the players of one group go to the town. The other group remains in the field and stands around the town. The field players, throwing the ball to each other, try to make fun of someone inside the city at a convenient moment. The one who was insulted leaves the game. If the field player misses, he is also out of the game.
The game ends when one of the groups loses all players. Then they change places and the game continues.
Rules.
1. Players of the town are not allowed to go beyond its borders.
2. Field players are not allowed to hold the ball for a long time and move from place to place.
Instructions for carrying out. No more than 16 people take part in the game. The number of players can be increased if the game is played on a large site. Children can pass the ball to each other or throw it around. By agreement, you can play 2-3 balls.
Grandfather-horn (Fig. 14)
The players are divided into two equal groups and take places on opposite sides of the court, where the lines are marked
their homes. For the game, they choose a driver and call him “grandfather-horn.” His house is located to the side.
The driver says loudly: “Who is afraid of me?” The players answer him: “Nobody!” - and immediately run from one house to another across the entire field. They run and tease the driver:
Grandfather-horn,
Eat a pie with peas!
Grandfather-horn,
Eat a pie with peas!
The driver runs out of his house and tries to make the players look bad. Those whom he insulted catch those playing with him. As soon as the players run from house to house and the driver and the assistant take their place, the game resumes.
Kite (Fig. 15)
Before the game starts, children choose a kite and a hen, the rest of the players are chickens. They stand one after another and hold on to their belts, with the hen in front. The kite is digging a hole, the hen with her chicks comes up to him and asks:
- Kite, kite, what are you doing?
- I'm digging a hole.
- What do you need a hole for?
- I'm looking for a penny.
- What do you need a penny for?
- I'll buy a needle.

- That's what it is!
- No, my chickens will not fly over this one.
- But I’ll still catch them.
- I won’t let you catch my children.
The kite tries to catch the chickens, the hen protects them, chases the kite: “Shi, shi, shi, villain!” The caught chicken leaves the game, and the kite continues to catch the next one. The game ends when half the chickens are caught.
Rules.
1. Chicks should hold each other's waist tightly.
2. The one who could not stay in the chain quickly takes his place.
3. The hen, protecting the chickens, should not push the kite away with her hands.
Instructions for carrying out. All players need to be given a cord or ribbon, they will tie it around their waist. This belt is comfortable to hold on to while playing. It is easier for the hen to protect the chickens if no more than 10 children take part in the game. If the playground allows, then two groups can play at the same time, each with its own hen and kite.
Sometimes, before starting a conversation with a kite (he is digging a hole at this time), the hen and chicks walk around and sing:
I walk around the kite
Necklace below
Three threads each
Beads.
I lowered the collar
Short around the neck.
Section II. BALL GAMES
History knows neither the year nor the place of birth of ball games, which indicates their antiquity. Ball games are very popular, they are considered the most widespread, they are found in almost all peoples of the world.
Before moving on to the description of the ball games that are most famous in Russia, we will tell you how balls were made in the old days. In common people, balls were most often made from rags and stuffed with rags. In the northern provinces, balls were woven from bast - straps made from linden, birch or willow bark. The inside of these balls was empty or filled with sand. In some areas, balls were made from sheep's wool. They first rolled up a clump of wool and tried to give it round shape. When the lump rolled well, they threw it into boiling water and left it there for half an hour. Then they were taken out of the water, rolled again and dried. Such a ball was light and soft, and its elasticity was not inferior to a rubber one.
Only children from wealthy families played with rubber balls.
While playing ball, children sometimes performed quite complex figures, repeating each one, as a rule, three times. IN different places In Russia they were called differently.
Candles - throw the ball up low at first and catch it. Throw higher the second time, even higher the third time.
Under the sky - throw the ball up, let it fall and catch it from the rebound from the ground.
Forging nails - hitting the ball with your hand on the ground.
Grips - raise your hands with the ball above your head, release it and catch it on the fly.
Flip-floppers - place the ball on the palm of your hand, toss it slightly, turn the back of your hand, hit the ball up, and then catch it.
Top water pumpers - hit the ball against the wall, catch it as it bounces off the wall.
To chase a hare - throw the ball on the ground so that it hits the wall, and catch it from the rebound from the wall.
Slappers - hit the ball against the wall, hit the ball that bounced off the wall with your palm so that it hits the wall again, and then catch it.
Jackdaws, crows, onlookers - stand with your back to the wall, throw your head back so that it touches the wall. From this position, hit the ball against the wall and catch it with both hands.
One-handed - throw the ball up right hand and catch with the right; throw with your left and catch with your left.
Handles - lean on the wall with your left hand, hit the ball with your right hand against the wall from under your hand, catch with both hands. Lean against the wall with your right hand, hit the ball with your left hand against the wall from under your hand, and catch it with both hands.
Through the legs - rest your left foot against the wall, from under it hit the ball against the wall and catch it with both hands. The same, but rest with your right foot.
Clap your hands - hit the ball against the wall, clap your hands and catch the ball.
On the knees - hit the ball against the wall, slam your hands on your knees and catch the ball.
To wind the threads - hit the ball against the wall, quickly make a movement with your hands, as if you were winding threads, and catch the ball.
With dressing - hit the ball against the wall, and while it is flying, make a movement as when putting on a hat. After the second throw, “put on your shoes,” etc.
Ball up (Fig. 16)
Children stand in a circle, the driver goes to the middle and throws the ball with the words: “Ball up!” Those playing at this time
They try to run as far away from the center of the circle as possible. The driver catches the ball and shouts: “Stop!” Everyone must stop, and the driver, without leaving his place, throws the ball at the one who is closest to him. The stained one becomes a driver. If the driver misses, then he remains again and the game continues.
Rules.
1. The driver throws the ball as high as possible and only after the words: “Ball up!”
2. The driver is allowed to catch the ball from one bounce from the ground.
3. If one of the players after the words “Stop!” continued to move, then he must take three steps towards the driver.
4. When running away from the driver, children should not hide behind
construction sites or trees.
Instructions for carrying out. Children stand in a circle close to each other. It is better to outline the place of the driver in the center of the circle with a small circle. If the driver did not catch the ball, which rolled far, before shouting: “Stop!”, he needs to catch the ball and return to his place. Children in the game must be very attentive and quickly respond to the signal.
Option. The driver stands in the center of the circle and performs an exercise with a ball; children count to five. On the count of five they quickly
scatter. The driver shouts: “Stop!” - and throws the ball at the player who is closest. The stained one becomes a driver. If he misses, he must catch up with the ball, and at this time the children try to run as far as possible. At the signal “Stop!” everyone stops, the driver again tries to insult someone.
Flip flops
Children stand in a circle facing the center at a distance of a step from each other. They choose a driver, count to 5: the fifth is the driver. He goes to the center of the circle, calls one of the players by name and throws the ball on the ground so that it bounces in the right direction. The one whose name the driver called catches the ball and hits it (slaps it with his palm), standing in one place. The number of ball hits is negotiable, but not more than 5, so that children do not have to wait for a long time. After hitting the ball, the player throws it to the driver. The game continues until someone drops the ball. The one who dropped the ball takes the place of the driver. You can play with 2-3 balls, then choose 2-3 drivers.
Sharilshchik
Two circles are drawn on the ground at a distance of 10-15 m from one another. All the players stand in one circle, and the rummager-driver is in the field. One of the players approaches the border of the circle, hits the ball hard on the ground so that it bounces as high as possible, and quickly runs into the next circle. The baller catches the ball on the fly or from a rebound on the ground and tries to smear the runner. If he makes a player look bad, he stands in the first circle with the players, and the person made bad becomes a rummager. If the ball flew past the runner, then the driver-fumbler still remains in the field. He picks up the ball, passes it to the circle where all the players stand, and the game continues. The game ends when all the children from the first circle run to the second.
Rules.
1. Along with the player who threw the ball into the field, other children can run across, but there should be no more than three of them.
2. The baller throws the ball at the runners from the place where he caught it.
3. The players remain in the second circle until the end of the game.
Instructions for carrying out. No more than 10-15 people take part in this game. The success of the game depends on how well the children control the ball. The players need to hit the ball harder on the ground: a strong blow causes it to jump high and makes it more difficult for the player to catch the ball. It is played on a flat surface so that the ball bounces well. To play, it is better to take a medium-sized ball.
Option. Several circles are drawn on the site, there may be 3-4 of them. One ball is placed in each circle. Children choose the leading ballers based on the number of laps. All players, and there are no more than 10 of them, stand in the first circle. The drivers each go to their own circle and stand away from it.
The game starts at the signal. One of the players in the first circle hits the ball on the ground and, while the baller catches it, runs to the second circle. If he is not hit during the run, he runs from the second circle, also hitting the ground with the ball in it, to the third, from the third he runs to the fourth and returns to the first circle. The next child runs from the first circle as soon as the baller returns the ball. So all the children run from circle to circle one after another. If the player gets insulted while running, he takes the place of the rummager. The rummager goes to the first circle and waits for his turn to run.
The winner in this game is the one who is never hit during the run. The game ends when all players return to the first circle.
Rules.
1. The players and the baller must not hold the ball.
2. The baller, regardless of whether the ball hit the runner or missed, returns the ball to his circle.

Sub-wall
Children (no more than 4 people) stand one after another, facing the wall. The first player throws the ball at the wall, and the one behind him catches it. Having caught the ball, he throws it at the wall, and the first player catches it. Then the first one throws the ball again, but in such a way that it bounces off the wall and reaches the third player. The third catches it and throws it at the wall, the first catches the ball and throws it again so that, bouncing off the wall, it flies over the heads of all the players and reaches the fourth player, who must catch the ball.

Children stand up to the line and roll the balls towards the field. Whose ball rolled farthest gets to drive. The balls remain on the playing field, only the driver takes one ball. He waits for the players to come out to get the balls, and tries to hit everyone who crosses the city line with the ball. When the driver misses, he catches up with the ball, and the players try to take their balls and run over the line. If the players are not caught, then they roll the balls again, and the driver in this case remains the same. If someone is insulted, then the insulted person becomes the driver.
Rules. 1. Players must take only one ball from the playing field.
2. The driver is allowed to move from one place to another on the playing field.
Flying ball
The players stand in a circle, the driver is in the middle of the circle. At the signal, the children begin to throw the ball to each other through the center of the circle.

The first player of one of the teams starts the game by lot. He calls a player from the second team by name, throws him the ball and quickly runs to the middle of the field, stops at the object, stomps his feet and returns to his place. At this time, the player who caught the ball tries to insult him. If he misses, he goes to the first group, but if he hits the ball, then the successful one goes to the second group. The group with the most children wins.
Ball race (Fig. 18)
Children stand in a circle at a distance of one step from each other, facing the center, counting on the first and second numbers. So they are divided into two groups (first and second numbers). In each group, the players choose leaders. They should stand on opposite sides of the circle. At the signal, the presenters begin to throw the ball only to the players of their group, in one direction.
The group in which the ball returned to the leader first wins.
Children choose another driver. The game is repeated, but the balls are thrown in the opposite direction. By agreement, the game can be repeated 4 to 6 times.
Rules.
1. The presenters must start the game at the same time upon a signal.
2. The ball is only allowed to be thrown.

Players must throw the ball accurately and be careful when receiving the ball: the one who catches should not stand still and wait for the ball to fall into their hands. He needs to follow the direction of the flying ball, and if necessary, take a step forward or sit down.
Option 1. Children stand in a circle, counting on the first and second numbers. Two players standing next to each other are leading, they take balls and, at a signal, throw them one to the right, the other to left side in a circle to players with the same number, i.e. through one. The team that gets the ball back to the leader the fastest wins.

second numbers. Two players standing next to each other are the leaders. They take the balls and, at the signal, run in opposite directions around the circle. Having run around the circle, they take their place and quickly pass the ball to the players with the same number, i.e. through one. The game continues.
The winner is the team whose players are the first to run around the circle with the ball and drop fewer balls.
Rules. 1. The player is allowed to pass the ball to a player of his team only when he takes his place.
2. Players must throw the ball to each other.
3. You are only allowed to run around the circle.
All players, except the driver, stand in a circle and throw the ball to each other, calling the name of the one who must catch it. The driver stands in the middle of the circle and tries to hit the ball flying above him with his hand. As soon as the ball thus detained falls to the ground, the players scatter, and the driver quickly picks up the ball and, shouting “Stop!”, tries to stain one of the players. The stained one becomes a driver. If the driver misses, then he goes back to the circle to drive.
Rules. 1. The players must quickly and accurately pass the ball to each other.
2. The driver stops only the flying ball.
3. The driver marks the children from the place where he picked up the ball.
Instructions for carrying out. It is advisable to conduct the game with subgroups of 10-12 people. The driver must carefully
follow the direction of the flying ball and act confidently and deftly to stop it. Every child should be taught to be an active driver.
If he plays large group children, it is better to divide them into 2-3 circles and choose a driver in each.
Hunter
One of the children is chosen by lot as a hunter, all other players are game. The game begins like this: the hunter plays a ball, while the others walk around the site. After 3-4 exercises he shouts: “Game!” Everyone stops, and from his place he spots one of the children. The stained one becomes the hunter's assistant, remains on the platform and stands not far from the hunter. If there is no game close to the hunter, he can pass the ball to his assistant, and he spots the players.
A hunter may throw the ball inaccurately and miss. In this case, the players move to other places. The hunter runs after the ball, takes it, shouts: “Game!” - and everyone stops.
The game continues until the hunter has a certain number of assistants (by agreement - from 3 to 5 people).
Rules.
1. Players are not allowed to move after the word “Game!”
2. The players can move to a new place if, during the Transfer from the hunter to the assistant, the ball was not caught and fell to the ground.
3. Players are not allowed to hide from the item hunter.
4. The hunter must fulfill different exercises with the ball.
Instructions for carrying out. This game must be played on a large area, otherwise the hunter and his assistants will quickly
catch game. To make it more difficult, you can allow children to dodge the ball - deflect, squat, jump, but they cannot move from their spot.
Children stand against the wall at a distance of 4-5 steps, one of them has a ball. At the signal, he throws the ball against the wall and calls one of the players by name. The one who was named catches the ball and throws it against the wall, naming a new player, etc. If the player does not catch the ball, then he becomes a tag. He needs to quickly pick up the ball and shout: “Stop!” Since the children are all scattering in different directions at this time, when the signal “Stop!” they stop. Salka stains the nearest player, the stained one leaves the game. The players go to the wall, the tag starts the game. If the tag misses, then while he is running after the ball, the players try to run away as far as possible. Salka takes the ball and shouts: “Stop!” - and again stains the players.
The game continues until half of the players are killed.
Rules.
1. Players are allowed to catch the ball as it bounces off the ground.
2. Salka should not move from his place when he marks the player.
Kick the ball out of the circle
Children stand in a circle at a distance of two steps from each other, holding their hands behind their backs. The driver stands in the center and places the ball
to the ground and, kicking it, tries to roll it out of the circle. The players do not miss the ball, they kick it back to the driver. Whoever misses the ball goes to drive.
Rules.
1. Players must not touch the ball with their hands.
2. Players are allowed to hit the ball so that it rolls on the ground.
3. The driver is not allowed to move further than two steps from the center of the circle.
Instructions for carrying out. No more than 10 people take part in the game. Children need to be reminded to push the ball inside foot or toe. Don't hit the ball too hard. If the players want to stop the ball before passing it to the driver, it is better to do this with the inside of the foot or the sole, raising the toe.
Option. Children, just like in the previous game, stand in a circle, but with their backs to the center. There should be several people driving, but no more than 4. The goal of the game is not to miss the ball into the circle.
Defend the city
The participants of the game stand in a circle at a distance of one step, everyone has small balls. A town is built in the middle of the circle, that is, several pins are placed at such a distance that the ball can pass freely between them.
The town is guarded by three watchmen. The players, standing in one place, kick the ball into the town. The one who, by rolling the ball, knocks down the pin, takes the place of the guard.
Rules.
1. Players must only roll the ball.
2. You cannot pass the ball hit by the guard outside the circle; whoever misses the ball is out of the game.
3. The watchmen are allowed, while protecting the city, to move from one side of the circle to the other.
4. The guard holds and hits the ball only with his foot.
Ball in hole
Children stand in a circle, choose a driver according to a counting rhyme, and he stands with the players. A ball is placed in the hole in the center of the circle. Children, calling the driver by name, say the following words: “Kolya, don’t sleep, get the ball quickly!” The driver runs to the hole, and the players scatter at this time. He takes the ball and shouts: “Stop!”, calls one of the players by name and throws the ball at him. If it misses, it remains king again; if it hits a player, then the stained one becomes king. The game is repeated; The ball is placed in the hole, the driver stands with the children in a circle.
Rules. 1. The driver must run after the ball only after the words: “Take it quickly!”
2. He is not allowed to hold the ball immediately after the word “Stop!” he must call the player by name and throw the ball at him.
On level ground, the players dig holes - holes at a distance of 10-15 cm from one another. There must be one more player than there are holes in the game. At a signal, children run to the holes and occupy them (put small pebbles), position themselves on both sides of the holes; whoever is left without a hole starts the game. He rolls the ball, and as soon as the ball hits one of the holes, all the players scatter. The child whose hole the ball fell into quickly takes it and shouts: “Stop!” He tries to make one of the players look bad. The salty one goes to roll the ball, and the one who started the game takes his hole. If the child misses, then he goes to roll the ball, and the players stand at their holes.
Instructions for carrying out. To play holes, choose a flat, well-compacted place. You need to place sticks along the holes on both sides so that the ball does not roll to the side and hits the target faster. You can roll rubber balls, medicine balls, balls. The game is more interesting if no more than 10 children play.
Russian lapta1 (Fig. 20)
1 The proposed option is slightly modified and adapted to the capabilities of older preschoolers.
The name of the game comes from the name of the stick with which the ball is scored - it is somewhat similar to a shovel and is called a lapta.
The participants of the game are divided into two equal groups, each with a driver. The playing field is marked in the middle of the site. On one side of the playing field at a distance of 10 to 20 m there is a city, and on the other there is a place for a horse.
By lot, players of one group go to the city, and the other group disperses across the field. The game is started by the leader from the city group. He hits the ball with his rounder, runs across the field beyond the line and returns to the city again. During the run, the players of the driving team (field) try to stain the runner. If they succeed, they move to the city. Otherwise, the players remain in their places. The game continues, the second player scores the ball and also runs across the field beyond the line.
However, players are not always able to return to the city immediately. In this case, they are waiting for someone to help them out, and only the one who hits the ball far can help them out.
There may be this option: if the one who kicked the ball
could not immediately run over the line, he waits for the next player to kick the ball; then two players run behind the stake line at the same time.
Rules.
1. City players serve the ball into the field one by one; the batting ball must not cross the city limits; if there is only one player left in the city, and everyone else is outside the line, then he is allowed to serve the ball 3 times; The host is allowed to kick 3 goals.
2. Field players spot the runner from the place where the ball was lifted or caught; in order to quickly mark the runner, it is allowed to pass the ball to the players of one’s party;
3. Anyone who cannot score the ball with a rounder is allowed to throw it into the field with his hand.
4. The city team loses and moves to the playing field if all players hit the ball, but no one ran over the line; all players ran across the line, but did not return to the city; During the run, the city player was insulted.
Instructions for carrying out. The first condition of this game is the friendly action of all party players and strict adherence to the rules. It is also very important to choose the right driver: he must have good control of the ball, be active, follow the progress of the game, and skillfully place the players taking into account their skills.
It is better for the driver to start the game first - this will allow him to subsequently observe the progress of the game, help the players, and, if necessary, on occasion, help out his comrades.
When serving the ball, players must look where to send it: where there are fewer players or where there are none at all. If the players run to the city, then the ball in the field must be sent further to the con line; if they are fleeing the city, then throw the ball with a weak blow
so that it falls closer to the city line.
One in rounders
A horse line is drawn on the site. Two people are playing. One child stands behind the horse line, he throws the ball and hits it with a lapper. Another catches the ball in the field. If he catches the ball, he goes beyond the line to hit the ball.
Rules.
1. In case of a miss, the player has the right to hit the ball twice.
2. After two misses, the horse player changes places with the field player.
Gifts (Fig. 21)
The game differs from the previous one only in that the ball in the field is caught not by one player, but by several. The one who caught the ball goes to the stake to score the ball, to “give gifts.”
Three players play this game: two players stand behind the line, the third goes into the field to catch the ball. One of those at stake throws the ball, the second hits it into the field. The one who hit the ball leaves the rounder and runs to the line at the end of the field, runs behind it and returns to the line. The fielder tries to spot the runner. If he misses, he quickly picks up the ball and throws it at the runner again. If he stains the runner, he goes to the line to hit the ball, and the stained one remains in the field. If the field player does not have time to spot the runner, then he throws the ball onto the line and the game continues. The horse players change places: the one who hit the ball serves it.
Rules.
1. The horse player must not linger behind the line at the end of the field. If he was unable to return beyond the stake line, then a field player takes his place, and he remains in the field.
2. The players on the horse change places in case of two misses when hitting the ball.
Instructions for carrying out. The distance from the horse to the line at the end of the field should not exceed 10 m, otherwise the runner will not be able to return to the horse.
Those playing on the stake need to try to hit the ball as far as possible, then it is safer for the runner to return to the line of the stake; while running, he may suddenly change direction, suddenly stop or sit down.
Circular rounder
They draw a circle on the ground - this is a city. Children are divided into two equal groups: the players of one go to the city, and the other stay in the field. Field players are drivers. They move away from the city with the ball, and one of them hides it. Then they return to the city, some holding their hands behind their backs, some in their pockets, some under their shirts, so that it is impossible to guess who has the ball. They all run around the city and say: “I’ll hit someone, I’ll burn someone!” Or: “Zhigalo, zhigalo!” The one with the ball is waiting
an opportune moment to make fun of one of the city's players. If he throws the ball and misses, the playing cities shout: “Burned, burned!” - and he leaves the game.
If the hit is successful, then the field players run away, the spotted one takes the ball and throws it at the fleeing players. He needs to get back, to stain one of the field players, so that the city players stay in place. If he does not win back, the players change places. The field players hide the ball again.
The game continues until one group loses all players.
Rules.
1. The city player throws the ball at the runners without leaving the circle.
2. Players should not go beyond the city boundaries; the one who crossed the line is out of the game.
3. Players of the driving team must not hold the ball.
Dashes
Children are divided into two equal groups, stand opposite each other at a distance of 3-4 m and begin to throw the ball to each other. If the child does not catch the ball, he goes to the other team and stands behind the player who threw the ball to him. The team with the most players transferred wins.
Rules.
1. The players throw the ball to each other in order.
2. The one who starts the game can come up with any exercise, and others must repeat it exactly.
Instructions for carrying out. If a large number of children take part in the game, then you need to give 2-3 balls. An adult can
take charge of the game, tell the children what exercise they should do.
On the site they draw a city - a square with sides of 1 m each. 6-8 m from it they draw a line on which everyone, except the driver, marks their place - puts a pebble, a cube, digs holes. The driver on the lower side of the city places a figure of 5 ryuhs (towns) and stands not far from the city.
The participants of the game each stand at their own mark and take turns throwing bats from their places into the city. Having knocked out the rumblings, the players run into the field to get sticks. The driver hurries to place a new figure and take any free space. The one who missed his place becomes the driver.
Rules.
1. The driver should not repeat the figures.
2. Each player throws only one bat.
Instructions for carrying out. The teacher must ensure the safety of children in the game. To do this, it is better to carry it out on a playground or away from the playground.
Before starting the game, children agree on the number of pieces. If the game takes place on an asphalt site, then instead of holes, you can draw circles with chalk. No more than 5 people take part in the game.
Zastuka
A hole is dug on the site, and the driver places a ball in the hole. At a distance of 3-6 m, a line is drawn from where the players alternately throw the bat at the ball. A small board is placed near the hole. As soon as one of the players hits the ball, everyone who threw the bats runs after them and quickly returns to their places, knocking the bat on the way. The driver runs into the field for the ball along with everyone else and, before putting it in the hole, also knocks on the board. The one of the players who knocked on the catch immediately after the driver stands at the hole with the ball, and the driver goes into the field.
A large circle is drawn on the site. One of the children is chosen as a bunny, he goes into a circle, and all the participants in the game stand behind the circle. They throw the ball to each other, but so that it hits the bunny. The bunny runs in a circle, dodging the ball. The one who stains it takes the place of the bunny in the circle.
Rules.
1. Participants in the game must not go beyond the boundaries of the circle.
2. Before passing the ball, you need to call by name the person who is supposed to catch it.
3. You need to pass the ball quickly, you cannot hold it in your hands.
Instructions for carrying out. There should be no more than 10 people playing; They stand in a circle at a distance of one step from each other. The faster the game participants pass the ball, the more interesting the game is and the more opportunities there are to spoil the bunny. The bunny, if he wishes, can catch the ball. In this case, the player whose ball was caught stands in a circle and plays the role of a bunny.
The most dexterous (Fig. 23)
The participants of the game are divided into two groups and face each other. A line is drawn in the middle of the court between the players. The driver stands on the line, and at his signal, the children begin to throw the ball to each other. The one who caught the ball quickly throws it at the driver. If he misses, he stands on the line and starts driving. If the ball hits the driver, then all the players run away, and the driver tries to disgrace those running away. The one whom he stained takes the place of the driver. If the driver misses, he stands on the line and continues to drive.
Rules.
1. The driver is allowed to run along the line from one end to the other.
2. The driver is allowed to catch the ball, then he changes places with the player who sent him.
Instructions for carrying out. Depending on the skills of the players, the distance between the teams can be from 3 to 6 m. It is better to play with a medium-sized ball. The one who catches the ball should not stand still. He needs to carefully monitor the direction of the flying ball.
Everyone who takes part in the game takes the balls, stands in a semicircle, and everyone marks their place with a circle. At a distance of 3-6 m, in the middle of the semicircle, there is a large ball, guarded by a guard with a stick. The players take turns trying to knock him down with their balls, and the guard hits their balls with a stick. If the ball hit by the guard does not reach the player, he remains in zero.
The player can take the ball, but in such a way that the guard does not insult him. The upset player becomes a guard.
When one of the players hits the big ball, the guard quickly
returns it to the same place. But at this time, the players whose balls are on the line try to take them.
Rules.
1. The guard hits the balls only with a stick.
2. The players knock the ball down, observing the order. The next player throws the ball at the target as soon as the guard returns the thrown ball.
3. The guard can only insult the player with his hand.
Knock out the ball (Fig. 24)
Cells are drawn on the ground, and horse lines are drawn at a distance of 2 m on either side of them. Each cell contains 3-4 balls. The participants of the game are divided into two teams and stand behind the lines opposite their opponent’s cells.
All players on one team start the game at the same time. At a signal, they roll the balls and take the knocked ones. Then the players of the other team roll the balls. The team whose players knock out the most balls wins.
Rules.
1. While rolling the balls, the players stand behind the stake line.
2. The participants in the game knock out the balls one by one.
Instructions for carrying out. Each team has its own colored balls. They can be wooden or polyethylene. The game can also be played with balls. The balls must be placed equally in the cells. The dimensions of the cells are 50X50 cm, they are placed on the same line in a checkerboard pattern at a distance of 30 cm from each other.
Pyramid (Fig. 25)
A circle with a diameter of 50 cm is drawn on the site. One of the players is chosen as a guard. He stands in the middle of the circle, where a pyramid of 7 small balls is installed. At a distance of 2-3 m from the circle, a line is drawn, from which the players alternately throw a ball or ball, trying to knock down the pyramid. The one who gets into the pyramid and knocks the balls out of the circle receives a chip from the guard. When the players knock out all the balls, the guard builds a new pyramid. The game continues. The one who knocks out the most balls wins.
Rules.
1. Players must not go beyond the line.
2. Everyone hits the pyramid once, after which they pass the turn to the next one.
3. The player receives a chip for each knocked out ball.
Instructions for carrying out. The ball that the players hit
must be larger than the balls in the pyramid. The pyramid is set up in different ways: 5 balls lie on the ground, and 2 on top, or 6 lie on the ground, and the seventh on top.
Meeting (Fig. 26)
Two lines are drawn on the court at a distance of 4-6 m. The players are divided into equal groups and stand opposite each other behind
lines.
At a signal, everyone simultaneously rolls balls or balls to each other, but so that they meet. The presenter gives one chip to the children whose balls have met. The pair with the most chips at the end of the game wins.
Number of repetitions of the game by agreement.
Instructions for carrying out. The area where the game is played must be level. The distance between players needs to be increased gradually. This game requires children to have a lot of attention and the ability to efficiently distribute efforts when pushing the ball away depending on the distance. Children need to be told that the greater the rolling distance, the more energetic the push on the ball should be.
Option 2 (Fig. 27). A flag or any other object is placed in the center of the site. At a distance of 1 m from the flag, two lines are drawn on both sides, then at a distance of 1 m from these lines, a second pair is drawn and, finally, a third pair of lines is drawn at a distance
1 m from the second. The players are divided into equal groups and stand opposite each other behind the last lines. At the leader’s signal, all children simultaneously roll the balls (balls) to each other, but so that they necessarily meet in the center. The players whose balls have met move to the second line, and then to the first. The pairs whose players are the first to reach the first line win.
Pits (Fig. 28)
On the site, several holes are dug in one row, but no more than 10, and they are marked with numbers. At a distance of 3 m from them, a line is drawn from which the players roll the balls into the holes one by one, starting from the first. The first player starts the game, he rolls the ball until he misses. The second player continues the game after him, then the third, etc. When the turn reaches the first player again, he starts the game from the hole that he did not fall into.
Whoever gets into all the holes first wins.
Instructions for carrying out. No more than 10 people take part in the game. There can be a different number of holes, not necessarily according to the number of players. Children can throw the balls into the holes instead of rolling them.
Ball against the wall
A line is drawn at a distance of 1-2 m from the wall. The players stand in the field outside the line freely, as it suits them. The driver stands at the line facing the wall and hits the ball against the wall so that it flies over the line. In the field it is caught by the player for whom it is intended. more convenient. The person who catches the ball throws it to the driver. If the driver catches him, he goes to play in the field, and the one who threw the ball takes his place. If the driver does not catch the thrown ball, then he remains to drive against the wall.
The game can be complicated if the players are given 2-3 balls and choose 2-3 drivers.
Section III. JUMPING GAMES
Jumpers
A circle is drawn on the ground. One of the players stands in the middle of the circle - he is a tag. At a signal, children jump over the line of the circle and, if there is no danger of being greased, remain inside the circle for some time. Continue jumping on two legs in place or moving forward to the center of the circle. Participants in the game try to dodge the tag and jump out of the circle in time. The greasy one becomes a tag.
Rules.
1. Players are only allowed to jump out of the circle. The one who runs out of the circle leaves the game.
2. Fifteen chases the players, also jumping on two legs.
Instructions for carrying out. The size of the circle depends on the number of players. Before starting the game, you need to agree on how the children will jump over the line of the circle: on one leg (right or left), straight or sideways on two legs.
Option. The game starts in the same way, but the one who gets dirty does not leave the circle, but becomes an assistant to the tag. As soon as the number of tags increases to 5, four go out of the circle, and the one who was hit last remains a tag. The game repeats itself.
Sparrows and cat
All players pretend to be sparrows and are behind the circle. The driver - the cat stands in the middle of the circle. The sparrows jump into the circle and then jump out of it. They collect grains (chips are scattered inside the circle). The cat runs in a circle and tries to catch them. The sparrow, which the cat touched, pours out all the collected grains, then begins to collect them again. At the end of the game, the most agile sparrows are celebrated.
Boilers. Classes (Fig. 29, 30)
A figure is drawn on the ground. Each square of the figure is called a class. The players set a queue: who will start the game first, who will be second, third, etc.
The first player throws a pebble into the first class, stands on one leg, and jumps over the line into the same class. He knocks a pebble out of the first class with his toe and jumps out himself. He throws the pebble again, but this time to the second grade. Jumps on one leg to the first, then to the second class and again knocks out a pebble with the toe, etc.
In the fourth grade, you need to take a pebble in your hand and stand so that one leg is in the fourth grade and the other is in the seventh. Jump and rearrange your legs so that one is in the sixth grade and the other in the fifth grade. Then the player on one leg jumps into the eighth grade, and then into a semicircle, where he rests for some time.
Standing in a semicircle, the player throws a pebble to the eighth grade. On one leg he jumps into the same class and moves the pebble with his toe to the seventh class. He jumps again, turns to the right during the jump and puts his feet in the seventh and fourth grades. Moves a pebble in the sixth grade, jumps up and stands with his feet in the sixth and fifth grades. Then, standing on one leg in the sixth grade, he moves the pebble to the fifth grade, jumps up and stands again in the Pebble, moves it to the fourth, moves it first. After that, he pushes out and jumps out on his own.
If the player has passed through all the classes, an exam awaits him. He puts a pebble on the toe of his foot and walks on his heel through everything
classes. You need to walk carefully so as not to drop a pebble or step on the line. Only after the exam does each participant finish the game.
Rules.
1. The next player starts the game if the previous player’s pebble fell on the line or in the wrong class, or the player stepped on the line with his foot.
2. The player who made a mistake starts the game again from the class where he made a mistake.
Instructions for carrying out. In this game, children independently control the implementation of the rules. They need to be taught that they can jump on both their right and left feet. The child must knock out and move the pebble with his free foot: if he stands on his right foot, he moves the pebble with his left, and vice versa.
The game can be ended when one of the players with the fewest mistakes completes all classes and passes the exam.
Swamp (Fig. 31)
Classes are drawn on the ground. A participant in the game throws his pebble into the first class, jumps on one leg into the same class, pushes it from the first class into the second, and then through the swamp into the third class, remaining on one leg, and so on until the fifth class. From the last class, he either knocks a stone through all the classes into the field at once, or pushes it, jumping on one leg from class to class in order, or carries the stone on the toe of his foot.
Rule. If a pebble falls into a swamp, the game must be started all over again, from the first class.
Relocation of frogs
Before the start of the game, the players choose a leader (elder frog). All players (small frogs) squat, resting their hands on the floor or ground. The older frog takes them from one swamp to another, where there are more mosquitoes and midges. She jumps ahead. During the game, the driver changes the position of his hands: hands on his knees, on his belt; jumps in short jumps, long jumps, jumps over obstacles (over sticks) or jumps on planks, bricks, jumps between objects, etc. All frogs repeat these movements.
Having jumped into another swamp, the frogs get up and shout: “Kwa-kwa-kwa!” When the game is repeated, a new leader is chosen.
Pouch (Fig. 32)
Children stand in a circle at a short distance from each other. The driver stands in the center and rotates a cord with a weight at the end (a bag of sand) in a circle. The players carefully watch the cord, and when it approaches, they jump up in place so that it does not touch their feet. The one who is touched by the bag becomes the driver.
Options
A circle is drawn on the site, with a driver in the center.
1. The players stand at a distance of 3-4 steps from the circle. The driver rotates the cord. As soon as the bag reaches the player, he runs up and jumps over it.
2. The driver circles the cord with the bag, and the children run towards and jump over it.
3. Children are divided into several subgroups, but no more than 5 people in each. They stand one after another and take turns jumping over a rope with a bag at the end. The one who jumped over is the last one in his group. If he touches the bag, he leaves the game. The subgroup with the most players left wins.
Rule. You need to rotate the cord with the load so that it does not touch the ground.
Instructions for carrying out. For this game you need a cord 2-3 m long with a load at the end of about 100 g. The length of the cord can be increased or decreased depending on the size of the site and the number of players. When the cord rotates, the driver can change its height.
Cockfighting
Children are divided into pairs and stand 3-5 steps apart from each other. Couples pretend to be fighting roosters: jumping on one leg, they try to push each other with their shoulders. The one who lost his balance and stood on the ground with both feet is out of the game. Before starting the game, children agree on how they will hold their hands: on their belts, behind their backs, crossed in front of their chests, or with their hands to hold the knee of a bent leg.
Rules.
1. The players must approach each other at the same time.
2. You cannot push each other with your hands.
Instructions for carrying out. Most often, in a pair, one player leaves the game, one remains the winner. Winners from different pairs can team up and continue the game.
The rooster fight can also take place in another position, for example, in a squat, with the players holding their hands on their knees.
Salka on one leg
The children disperse around the playground, close their eyes, everyone’s hands are behind their backs. The leader walks among them and quietly puts a handkerchief in the hands of one. To the word “One, two, three, look!” children open their eyes. Standing still, they look at each other carefully: “Who is the tag?” A child with a scarf suddenly raises it up and says: “I’m a tag!” Participants in the game, jumping on one leg, try to get away from the tag. The one he touched with his hand goes to lead. He takes a handkerchief, lifts it up, and quickly says the words: “I’m a tag!” The game repeats itself.
Rules. 1. If the child is tired, he can jump alternately on his right and then on his left leg.
2. When the tags are changed, the players are allowed to stand on both feet.
3. Salka should also jump, like everyone else playing, on one leg.
Hello neighbor!
The players are divided into equal groups and stand in two rows facing each other at arm's length. The first players are the leaders, they start the game: they stand on one leg and jump in the direction of the other team. Without stopping, they turn to the player: “Hello, neighbor!” The one addressed answers: “Hello!” - and jumps after the leader. The game ends when all the children form one chain of jumping behind the leaders.
Rules.
1. Children must repeat the movements of the leader.
2. Anyone who performs movements inaccurately leaves the game.
Instructions for carrying out. As the game progresses, the leader performs various exercises, and the players repeat them.
They jump on the left leg, on two legs, on the right leg, on two legs sideways, perform jumps, etc.
Buy a bull
On a flat area, children draw a circle and stand behind its line at a distance of a step from each other. The driver - the owner - stands in the center of the circle. There is a small ball or ball on the ground in front of him.
The driver jumps on one leg in a circle, rolling the ball with his free leg, and says, turning to the children: “Buy a bull!” or “Buy a cow!” He tries to hit one of the players with the ball. The one who was insulted takes the ball and stands in the center of the circle in the place of the driver. If the ball rolls out of the circle without hitting anyone, the driver brings it, stands in the circle and continues to drive.
Rules.
1. Players should not go beyond the circle.
2. The driver can hit the ball from any distance without going beyond the circle.

The game is interesting when the driver hits the ball suddenly. He jumps in a circle, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowing down his jumps, suddenly stopping, making deceptive movements, as if he were hitting a ball. This behavior of the driver makes the players jump, step back or take a step to the side.
Section IV. LOW MOBILITY GAMES
Children choose the owner and two buyers, all other players choose paints. Each paint comes up with a color for itself and quietly names it to its owner. When all the paints have chosen a color, the owner invites one of the buyers.
The buyer knocks: “Knock-knock!” - “Who’s there?” - “Buyer.” - “Why did you come?” - “For paint.” - “For which one?” - “For blue.” If there is no blue paint, the owner says: “Walk along the blue path, find blue boots, wear them and bring them back.” If the buyer guesses the color of the paint, then he takes the paint for himself. A second buyer arrives and the conversation with the owner is repeated. And so they take turns and sort out the paints. The buyer who guesses the most colors wins. When the game is repeated, he acts as the owner, and the players choose buyers.
Rule. The buyer should not repeat the same paint color twice, otherwise he gives up his turn to the second buyer.
Instructions for carrying out. The game is played with children both indoors and on a walk. The owner, if the buyer has not guessed the color of the paint, can give a more complex task, for example: “Race on one leg along the blue path.” If there are many children playing, you need to choose four buyers and two owners. Buyers come in line to buy paints.
The game starts like this. The leader goes around the players and says:
They sent us a hundred rubles.
Buy what you want,
Black, don't take white,
Don't say yes or no!
After that, he asks the children various questions, and he himself tries to get someone to say one of the forbidden words in a conversation: black, white, yes, no. The presenter conducts a conversation something like this: “What is sold in the bakery?” - “Bread.” - “Which one?” The player almost answered: “Black and white,” but remembered the forbidden words in time and said: “Soft.” - “Which bread do you like more, black or white?” - “Everyone.” - “What kind of flour are buns made from?” - “From wheat.” Etc. The one who uttered the forbidden word gives the driver a forfeit. At the end of the game, everyone who is left without a forfeit buys it back.
Rules.
1. Players must answer questions quickly; the answer cannot be corrected.
2. For each prohibited word, the player pays the presenter a forfeit.
3. The presenter can conduct a conversation with two players at the same time.

When redeeming forfeits, the participants in the game come up with interesting tasks for the owner of the forfeit: sing a song, ask a riddle, read poetry, tell a short funny story, remember a proverb and saying, etc. The most difficult role in this game is the role of the leader, so at first this role is performed by the teacher . Forfeits can be redeemed after 5 people lose.
Ring
A ring is put on a long cord and the ends of the cord are sewn together. All players stand in a circle and hold the cord with both hands from above. The driver stands in the middle of the circle, closes his eyes and slowly turns 3-4 times, standing in one place. The players quickly move the ring along the cord. Then the driver says: “I’m going to look.” The last word serves as a signal for children. One of them hides the ring in his hand. The driver opens his eyes and tries to guess who has the hidden ring. The one he calls takes his hand off the cord. If the driver guessed right, then he stands in a circle, and the player whose ring was found goes to lead.
Rules.
1. Move the ring along the cord only when the driver turns around himself with his eyes closed.
2. The driver says the words: “I’m going to look” - with closed

In someone else's lane.
There are cups, nuts,
Honey, sugar.
Silence!
After the word “Silence!” everyone should shut up. The presenter tries to make the players laugh with movements, funny words and nursery rhymes, and a comic poem.

At the end of the game, children redeem their forfeits: at the request of the players, they sing songs, read poetry, dance, and perform interesting movements.
Rules.
1. The presenter should not touch the players with his hands.
2. Forfeits for players must be different in color and shape.

The players place their fingers on the table, the leader names birds, animals, insects, flowers, etc. When naming a flying object, everyone should raise their fingers up. Whoever raises his fingers when naming a non-flying object, or does not raise his fingers when naming a flying object, pays a forfeit.
Sometimes they play like this: everyone stands in a circle and when a flying object is named, all players jump. If a non-flying item is named, they stand still.
pebble
Children sit on a bench or chairs, with everyone’s palms folded together and lying on their knees. The presenter, with a pebble in his hands, walks around the participants in the game and makes a movement, as if placing a pebble in each of them’s hands. He actually quietly puts a pebble on one of the players, then moves away from the bench and calls: “Pebble, come to me!” The one with the pebble runs up and shows it. Now he will be the leader. But if the players notice who gets the pebble, they can detain this player. In this case, the leader remains the same.

The first fisherman sits down, the second one lowers the fish into the net, and the one who found the fish goes to guess.
The sea is agitated
Depending on the number of players, chairs are placed in two rows so that the back of one chair touches the back of the other. All participants in the game sit on chairs. The driver says: “The sea is worried.” The players get up and run around the chairs. “The sea has calmed down,” says the driver, and the children take the empty seats. Someone will be left without a seat, since one chair is occupied by the driver. The one who missed it goes to drive.

Children gather on the playground and choose a driver - a woodpecker. Everyone stands in pairs and forms a circle, the woodpecker stands in the middle. The players walk in a circle and all say the words together:
A woodpecker walks near the granary, (The granary is a room for grain.)
Looking for a grain of wheat.
The woodpecker answers:
I'm not bored alone
I'll take whoever I want.

Sun and month (Fig. 33)
All children gather on the playground and choose two presenters. They step aside and quietly, so that no one can hear, agree which of them will be the month and which will be the sun.
The participants of the game stand one after another, put their hand on the shoulder of the person in front or take him by the belt. The sun and the moon come up to the players, take hands and raise them high, creating a gate. The players sing a song:
The aunt walked, walked,
She walked and walked, pockmarked,
She walked through the meadow
She led the children around:
Older, younger,
Medium, large.
With this song they pass through the gate. The sun and the month stop the latter and quietly ask: “Who do you want - the sun or the month?” The player just as quietly answers who he will go to, and stands next to either the sun or the month. The game continues. At the end of the game, you need to count who the most players went to.
PEBBLE GAMES
The game of pebbles was once popular in Russia. They called it differently: kremushki, galans, prospheres. For the game
children take five pebbles the size of a hazelnut, round or oval, with a smooth surface. These pebbles are easy to hold in your hand and easy to scatter while playing on the table. (You can also use acorns, etc. for the game.)
Before the game, children, by mutual agreement or rhyme, decide who should throw pebbles after whom. But there is also a special draw, when all the players take five pebbles, throw them up slightly, turn their hands palms down and try to catch them on the back of their hands. Whoever has the most pebbles on his hand starts the game. Then the participants in the game sit in a circle at the table, each with their own pebbles. The place where the game takes place is called the kon. The players lead the line “in the direction of the sun,” that is, from right to left.
Among the pebble games, there are simple ones, when children perform only one figure (such as “Breast”, “Heat”, “Bridge”), and difficult ones, when children perform several figures. The combination of figures can be complex, and not always everyone who plays succeeds , but frequent repetition of the game gives its results.
These games are exciting and useful, cultivate attention, concentration, resourcefulness, develop dexterity of hands and fingers, and precise coordination of movements.

The game ends when all the players exchange pebbles.
Loner
The child takes five pebbles in his hand. One of them is thrown up, and four are scattered on the table. He catches the thrown pebble and throws it up again, quickly takes one pebble from the table and catches the thrown one. The game is repeated several times until all the pebbles are collected from the table.
Deuce
The child holds five pebbles in his hand. One of them throws up, quickly puts two pebbles on the table and catches the one thrown up. There are three stones left in the hand. Once again the player throws one pebble up, places the remaining two pebbles on the table and catches the one that was thrown. The third time the pebble is thrown up, and you need to have time to take two pebbles from the table and catch the thrown one. The fourth time when tossing, you need to take the remaining two pebbles.
Threes
In their right hand, players hold five pebbles, throw one up, and put four on the table, but so that three lie together and one separately, and catch the pebble thrown up.

Odd and even
One of the players takes a handful of pebbles, throws them up and, turning his hand palm down, catches the pebbles on the back of one hand. Covering the caught pebbles with his other hand, he asks the players: “Even or odd?” Whoever guessed wrong pays forfeit. The one who gave all his forfeits leaves the game.
Scratches
To play you need 40 pebbles. All the pebbles, except one, are placed on the line. The first player throws one pebble and, before catching it, quickly takes as many pebbles from the horse as he can and catches the thrown one.

2. The same game, but the children throw pebbles to each other.
3. Five pebbles are on the table. The player throws one of them up; quickly knocks on the table with the palm of the same hand, catches a thrown pebble and places it in left hand. So he throws the pebbles one after another, knocks his palm on the table, tries to catch each thrown pebble and transfer it to his left hand.
4. Five pebbles are on the table. Each player takes turns throwing one of them up, quickly clapping his hands, catching the thrown pebble and placing it on the table.

HOW TO CHOOSE A DRIVING MAN
In many outdoor games there is a driver: in one game it is a bear, in another it is a kite, in a third it is a shuttle. To start the game, you need to choose a driver. He is appointed or chosen according to a counting rhyme.
Children love playful, funny counting poems and quickly remember them. All participants in the game stand in a circle, in a row, or sit on benches, on the lawn, and one of them goes to the middle, pronouncing the words loudly, clearly, and intones a rhyme, for example:
I'll go buy a pipe
I'll go outside.
Louder, pipe, pipe.
We're playing, you drive!
Or:
A ram walked along steep mountains.
Pulled out the grass
I put it on the bench.
Who will take the weed?
That one will go!
The one who pronounces the counting rhyme, with each word, and sometimes syllable, touches the players in turn with his hand, not excluding himself. Whoever gets the last word becomes the driver.
If there are few participants in the game, then they count differently: they say a counting rhyme, and whoever gets the last word leaves the circle, and the counting rhyme is repeated until only one player remains. He must lead - catch the ball, catch and salvage those running away, be a kite or a hen.
Some rhymes contain a question, the answer to which involves continuing the calculation, for example:
A man was driving along the road, how many nails, tell me quickly,
Broke a wheel on the doorstep. Don't overthink it!
Whoever received the words: “Don’t think about it!” must answer how many nails are needed, but big numbers It’s better not to name it, otherwise you’ll have to reckon for a long time.
If two drivers are selected in the game, for example in “Mouse and Cat”, then first the mouse is chosen according to the counting, then they are counted again and the cat is chosen.
The success of the game depends on the driver, his activity, and ingenuity, so it is not always advisable to choose a driver using a counting rhyme. In games where the role of the driver is especially
difficult, such as “The Kite and the Mother Hen”, it is better to appoint him or invite the participants of the game to choose him, having suggested in advance what qualities he should have (run well, quickly navigate the environment, be observant, accurate).
Often in games, all participants are divided into two groups, and you need to decide which of them to start the game. In this case, two players, one from each group, measure themselves on a stick (“kick off”). To do this, select a stick 40-50 cm long, one of the players takes it by the end, the other, pressing his hand tightly to his friend’s hand, grabs it higher, then the first moves his hand higher than the hand of the second, etc. Which player will grab the end of the stick , he wins for his group the right to start the game.
There is an easier way to choose the order - guessing. Which hand is the item in? Which of the two ends of the scarf has a knot? Which of the two sticks (or straws) placed at one end is longer, which is shorter? This way you can choose the drivers or decide which group should start the game first.

Show me your skin.
The casing is on fire,
How many feathers are there on it?

Impossible to count!
COLLUSIONS
There are outdoor games where all the players are divided into groups or teams. In such games, leaders are first chosen or appointed, then the composition of the teams is determined. Collusions help to divide all the players equally so that no one is offended.
The players divide into pairs, step aside and conspire among themselves, come up with names: one, for example, calls himself “magpie”, and... the other - “serpent-mountain”. You can come up with funny nicknames, for example “Stepan the Giant”, “mustachioed cockroach”. It is necessary to negotiate quietly so that the presenters do not hear. Then the children go to the presenters and ask who they will choose, often in the form of a rhyme, for example:
From a bucket of a ruff Or from a basket of a hedgehog?
To prevent the presenters from simultaneously naming the same player, they agree on who will choose first and in which pair: one chooses in the first pair, the other in the second. There are different types of agreements. Let's give examples.
Who do you choose:
Black horse
Balls roll
Or a gold collar?
Or pour water?
Mow hay
Or chop wood?
Forge a horse
Or sweep the yard?
What will you take:
A shaggy bear or a horned goat?
From a river ruff Or from a forest a hedgehog?
gray duck
Or a wooden pipe?
What do you need:
A bag of peas Or a pot of butter?
Reservations add up
Who will you invite to visit:
The cunning fox Or Marya the beauty?
Mustachioed cockroach
Or a striped tiger cub?
What to give you:
A piece of sugar
Or a red handkerchief?
Choose:
Lily of the valley
Or a fluffy dandelion?
Blue bell Or yellow St. John's wort?
White birch or red rose?
but you can come up with them yourself.
MODERN REACHERS
In a wide circle, I see,
All my friends stood up.
I am for you, my friends,
I'm making pies:
Need to bake them quickly
You go and light the stove!
Once upon a time
Is it me or you?
An argument arose between us.
Who started it, they forgot
And we are still not friends.
Suddenly the game this time
Will he be able to reconcile us?
Legs, legs ran along the path,
Jumped through the meadow and forest
bumps,
They ran to the meadow and got lost
boot
Oh!
The bell calls everyone,
The bell sings to us
In a ringing, thin voice:
Ding-bom, ding-bom!
Get out of the circle!
Oblique, oblique,
Don't go barefoot
And walk around with shoes on,
Wrap up your paws.
If you are shod,
The wolves won't find the hare
The bear won't find you...
Come out - you'll burn!
The little ones are worried:
- How can we cope without a tub!
All the mushrooms are in tubs,
Forgot about the waves!
Look for the waves,
Very tasty mushrooms!
At the linear bridge
I caught a whale in the Neva,
Hid it behind the window
The cat ate it.
Two cats helped
Now there is no whale!
Don't you trust your friend?
Get out of the circle!
Past the forest, past the dachas
A red ball floated down the river.
A pike saw it.
What is this thing?
Grab, grab!
Don't catch it.
The ball surfaced again.
He started to swim further,
Come out, you should drive.
The squirrels treated the hares,
They were served carrots
We ate all the nuts ourselves,
And they told you to drive.
One, two, three, four,
Who doesn't sleep in our apartment?
Everyone in the world needs sleep,
He who is not sleeping will get out!
Once at our Stepan's
The cat was guarding the sour cream.
And when lunch came,
The cat is sitting - there is no sour cream.
Help Stepan,
Look for sour cream with it.
Like in our hayloft
Two frogs spent the night.
In the morning we got up, ate cabbage soup,
And they told you to drive!
Baby squirrels came to the meadow
Bear cubs, badgers.
To the green meadow
Come too, my friend.
Egor took an ax in the corner,
I went into the yard with an ax,
Egor began to repair the fence,
Yegor lost his axe.
So he's still looking...
Look for an ax too!
Among the white doves
A nimble sparrow jumps.
Sparrow bird,
Gray shirt,
Respond, sparrow,
Fly out, don't be shy!
Once the guys went to the river,
They carried two oars in their hands.
Three sheep meet them
And four turkeys.
All the guys were scared
The oars were thrown into the bushes.
They got scared and ran away
And you must find them!
There lived one burbot in the river,
Two ruffs were friends with him.
Three ducks flew to them,
Four times a day
And they were taught to count:
One-two-three-four-five!
Early, early we get up.
We call the watchman loudly.
Watchman, watchman, hurry up
Go out and feed the animals.
Tili-tili, tili-bom,
A bunny knocked down a pine tree with his forehead.
I feel sorry for the bunny
The bunny wears a cone.
Hurry up and run into the forest
Give the bunny a compress!
Tick tock, tick tock,
An old crayfish lived under the bridge.
The red cat came to the bridge,
Cancer grabbed the cat by its tail.
Meow-meow, help!
Unhook the crayfish from its tail!
Everyone is running, and you run,
Help Vaska the cat.
Cockerel chopped wood,
The owl baked the pies.
With a stalk for bunnies,
Pretzel with honey for bears.
And you, my friend, what do you want the pie with?
Skok-skok, skok-skok!
The bunny jumped onto a tree stump.
He beats the drum loudly,
Calls me to play leapfrog.
The seagulls lived at the pier,
The river rocked them with waves.
One, two, three, four, five,
Help me count them.
Chick-chick, chick-chick,
At night the cricket sang songs,
We went to look for him
The lanterns were lit
We looked under the bush,
Under the fluffy burdock.
Where was the cricket hiding?
Look for him, my friend!
A goat walked along the bridge
And wagged her tail,
Got caught on the railing
It landed right in the river.
Who doesn't believe is him,
Get out of the circle!
The seagull warmed up the kettle.
She invited eight seagulls.
Everyone came for tea!
How many seagulls - answer?
The runners are jumping,
Sunny bunnies.
We call them -
They don't go.
Were here -
And they are not here.
Where are the bunnies?
Gone.
You go look for them.
One, two, three, four!
Mice lived in an apartment,
Drank tea,
The cups were breaking
They paid three pieces of money!
Who doesn't want to pay
That's why you should drive!
The bees flew into the field,
They buzzed and buzzed.
The bees sat on the flowers.
We play - you drive!
HOW THE DIES ARE PLAYED
So that the participants in the game do not argue about who should lead or who should start the game, or which group should stand where, lots are cast.
A lot is a conventional sign, some object, for example a board, cardboard or a stick of the same size.
If you need to choose a leader in a game, take as many identical sticks as there are participants in the game. They put a note on one. All the sticks are placed in a box or box, mixed, and then the players take turns taking one at a time. Whoever draws lots with a conditional note will be the leader and start the game.
There are other draws. They are called guesses. One of the players takes a lot and hides it in his hand behind his back. In which hand the lot is drawn, no one should know. Then the drawer, holding his hands behind his back, says: “Whoever draws the lot, let him lead!” Two of the players approach him, the drawer asks: “Who is taking in the right hand, who is taking in the left hand?” One takes it in the right hand, the other in the left hand. The drawer opens his fingers and shows which hand holds the lot. The one who guesses correctly wins the bet.
Sometimes, depending on the number of players, they take straws, sticks, and pieces of paper; one of them should be shorter or longer than the others. Their upper ends need to be leveled and the lower ends hidden in the hand. Each player draws one lot. Whoever pulls out a long or short stick, straw or piece of paper starts the game.

Folk games for preschoolers
HISTORY OF RUSSIAN FOLK GAMES
The culture of every nation includes the games it creates.
For centuries, these games have accompanied the daily life of children and adults, developing vital qualities: endurance, strength, dexterity, speed, instilling honesty, justice and dignity.
Russian folk games have a history of thousands of years:
they have survived to this day from ancient times, passed down from generation to generation, absorbing the best national traditions.
In addition to preserving folk traditions, games have a great influence on developing character, willpower, interest in folk art among young people and developing physical culture.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
A folk game is a game implemented on the principles of voluntariness, spontaneity under special conditions of agreement, popular and widespread at a given historical moment in the development of society and reflecting its characteristics, undergoing changes under various influences: socio-political, economic, national. The folk game, being a phenomenon of folk culture, can serve as one of the means of introducing older children to folk traditions, which, in turn, represents the most important aspect of the education of spirituality, the formation of a system of universal values; V current situation For social development, turning to folk origins and the past is very timely.
The folk game contributes to the development of the necessary moral qualities in children of senior preschool age, always in conjunction with qualities related to physical, mental, labor and other aspects of culture. A wide variety of games can be used to develop a culture of communication in children of senior preschool age. Thus, by including a folk game in the educational process, the teacher unobtrusively and purposefully introduces children into the world of folk culture, teaching children the culture of communication.
The peculiarity of folk play as an educational tool is that it is included as a leading component in folk traditions: family, work, family, holiday games and others. This allows an adult to unobtrusively and purposefully introduce children into the world of folk culture, ethics, and human relations. It is no coincidence that the gaming experience of children of senior preschool age certainly includes a variety of folk jokes, game counting rhymes, folk active, comic and other games with peers and adults.
Folk outdoor games influence the development of will, moral feelings, development of intelligence, speed of reaction, and physically strengthen the child. Through the game, a sense of responsibility to the team and the ability to act in a team is developed. At the same time, the spontaneity of the game and the absence of didactic tasks make these games attractive and “fresh” for children. Apparently, such widespread use of folk outdoor games ensures their preservation and transmission from generation to generation.
Folk games have a lot of humor, jokes, and competitive fervor; the movements are precise and imaginative, often accompanied by unexpected funny moments, tempting and beloved by children counting rhymes, drawing lots, and nursery rhymes. They retain their artistic charm, aesthetic significance and constitute the most valuable, undeniable gaming folklore.
The main condition for the successful introduction of folk outdoor games into the lives of preschoolers has always been and remains deep knowledge and fluency in an extensive game repertoire, as well as methods pedagogical leadership. The teacher, creatively using the game as an emotional and imaginative means of influencing children, awakens interest and imagination, achieving active performance of game actions. Folk games in combination with other educational means represent the basis initial stage formation of a harmoniously developed personality, combining spiritual wealth, moral purity and physical perfection. This is the relevance of the topic of my work.

Using folk games in your work, it is necessary to simultaneously implement the following tasks:
Introduce folk holidays included in the Russian folk calendar; with the history of their occurrence; cultivate a desire to adopt and preserve folk traditions.

A well-known saying: if you want to know the soul of a people, take a closer look at how and what their children play with. The game accompanies a person from the cradle. Scientists have long noticed that it is children's games that help visually imagine hoary antiquity. Much of what was characteristic of everyday life has disappeared over the centuries, but something has been preserved only in children's games.
RELEVANCE
Folk games are a natural companion in a child’s life, a source of joyful emotions and have great educational power. Unfortunately, folk games have almost disappeared, so the teacher’s task is to make this type of activity a part of children’s lives.

At Grandma Malanya's.
Children dance in a circle, saying:
"At Malanya's, at the old woman's,
Lived in a small hut
Seven sons
Seven daughters
All without eyebrows
With noses like these,
(show with gestures)
With beards like this,
They all sat
Didn't eat anything
They did it like this..."
(reproduce the actions shown by the Presenter)
Tent.
The participants of the game are divided into 3-4 subgroups. Each subgroup forms a circle at the corners of the site. A chair is placed in the center of each circle, on which a scarf with patterns is hung. Children hold hands, walk in a circle around the chairs, sing and say:
We are funny guys.
Let's all gather in a circle,
Let's play and dance
And let's rush to the meadow.
At the end of the singing, the children line up in one common circle. Holding hands, they jump and move in a circle. When the music ends (or at the signal “Build a tent”), the children quickly run to their chairs, take scarves and pull them over their heads in the form of a tent (roof). The first group to build a “Tent” wins.
Gardener.
A “stump” (chair) is placed in the center of a large circle, and pegs (or toys representing vegetables) are placed in the circle. All players stand behind a circle. The “gardener” sits on a stump and “plays the pegs”, while saying:
I'm sitting on a stump
I play with small pegs,
I'm planting a vegetable garden.
With the end of the words, the players try to quickly run into the garden and carry away the pegs (“vegetables”). The child touched by the “gardener” is eliminated from the game. The one who collects the most pegs wins.
Roll a loaf.
One of the children is blindfolded, then turned several times around its axis and, continuing to turn, they sing:
Roll a loaf
Turn around, come on,
To the forest - to the frolic,
I'll go into the garden,
I will break the fence,
I'll dig up the ridges.
Speak, blind man,
Where are you heading?
The “blind person” must guess and name the place where he is turning his head. For example, to a wall, to a window, etc. If he guesses correctly, another participant takes his place.
Storks and frogs.
Children are divided into two groups: “storks” and “frogs” - and are located on opposite sides of the site. Storks stand on one leg, and Frogs jump towards them with the words:
You stand on one leg
You're looking at the swamp
And we're having fun, jump and hop,
Catch up with us, my friend!
The storks are catching up with the frogs. Next time the children change roles.
Drake.
The players line up in a circle and choose a “drake” and a “duck”. Children walk in a circle, holding hands, and sing:
The drake was chasing a duck
The young duck was chasing:
“Go home, little duck,
Go home, gray one!”
The Drake walks clockwise inside the circle, and the Duck goes counterclockwise outside the circle. When the singing ends, the drake catches the duck in a cat-and-mouse game. Having caught the “Duck”, the Drake brings her into a circle and kisses her on the cheek.
Burn clearly.
Children stand in a circle and hold hands. In the middle is a child with a handkerchief in his hand (leading). First, the children walk in a circle to the right, and the driver waves his handkerchief. Then the children stop and clap their hands. The driver moves in leaps and bounds inside the circle. When the music ends, they stop and turn to face two children standing in a circle. Then the players sing in chorus:
Burn, burn clearly
So that it doesn't go out.
One, two, three!
To the words “One, two, three,” the children clap their hands three times, and the driver waves his handkerchief three times. After this, the two guys, opposite whom the driver stopped, turn their backs to each other and run around the circle. Everyone tries to run first to take the driver’s handkerchief and lift it up.
The game repeats itself.
Burn, burn clearly. (2)
The children line up pair by pair. The driver takes the lead. He is not allowed to look back. Everyone sings:
Burn, burn clearly
So that it doesn't go out.
Look at the sky -
Birds are flying, bells are ringing!
When the song ends, the children standing in the last pair separate and run around those standing in pairs (one on the left, the other on the right). They try to grab hands in front. The driver, in turn, tries to catch someone running. The one who is caught becomes the first pair with the driver, and the one left without a pair becomes the new driver. If a pair of runners manages to connect before the driver catches anyone, then this pair takes the lead, and the game continues with the same driver.
Crow.
Children stand in a circle. One child is selected in advance - a raven. (he stands in a circle with everyone).
Oh guys, ta-ra-ra!
There is a mountain on the mountain,
(children walk to the center of the circle in fractional steps)
And on that mountain there is an oak tree,
And there are craters on the oak tree.
(children walk back with the same step, expanding the circle, and leaving the “raven” in the center)

Gold plated,
Okay pipe

Paints.
The players choose the owner and the buyer - the devil. All the rest are paints. Each paint comes up with a color for itself and, so that the buyers do not hear, names it to the owner. Then the owner invites the buyer. The devil comes up, taps his stick on the ground and speaks to the owner:
- Knock, knock!
- Who came?
- I am the devil with horns, with hot rapids,
He fell from the sky and fell into a pot!
-Why did you come?
- For paint.
- For what?
- For the red one.
If there is no red paint, the owner says:
- There is no such thing. Go home. Along your own curved path.
If there is paint, the owner says:

At this time, the red paint runs away. And the devil is trying to catch up with her.

The fontanel overflowed,
Golden horn. Wow!
The key spilled,
White, snowy. Wow!

The presenter quietly places a ring in the hands of one of the players. Then he takes a few steps away from the bench and intones the words:
Ring, ring,
Get out on the porch!
Who will leave the porch,
He will find the ring!
The task of the player who has the ring in his hands is to jump up from the bench and run away, and the children sitting next to him must guess who has it hidden and try, holding it with their hands, not to let this player go. If the player with the ring fails to escape, he returns the ring to the leader. And if he manages to escape, he becomes the new leader and continues the game

I graze, I graze until the evening,
There’s nothing to take home!
The gray wolf came
Have you knocked down my sheep?
And I fell asleep and lost my spirit!
The shepherd begins to look for the sheep, taps his stick on the ground and says: “Here is a wolf’s trail, here is a sheep’s trail...”
He approaches the wolf and asks:
-Wolf, have you seen my sheep?
-What are they?
- Little white ones.
- We ran along the little white path. (the sheep with blond hair run away from the wolf to the shepherd) Then the wolf says, “Let’s run along the little black path,” and the sheep with dark hair run away.
Baba Yaga.
According to the counting, Baba Yaga is chosen. Then a circle is drawn on the ground. Baba Yaga picks up a branch - a broom - and stands in the center of the circle. The guys run around in circles and tease:
Grandma Yozhka - bone leg,
Fell from the stove and broke my leg
And then he says:
-My leg hurts.
She went outside
Crushed the chicken.
I went to the market
She crushed the samovar.
I went to the lawn
I scared the bunny.
Baba Yaga jumps out of the circle on one leg and tries to touch the children with her broom.
Bees.
A participant is selected - depicting a flower. The rest of the guys are divided into 2 groups - guards and bees. The watchmen, holding hands, walk around the flower and sing:
Spring bees
Golden wings
Why are you sitting?
Are you not flying into the field?
Al will rain on you,
Is the sun baking you?
Fly over the high mountains,
Behind the forests are green.
On a round meadow,
On an azure flower.
The bees try to run into the circle, and the guards, now raising and lowering their hands, interfere with them. As soon as one of the bees manages to penetrate the circle and touch the flower, the guards who were unable to protect the flower scatter. The bees run after them, trying to sting and buzz in their ears.
Golden Gate.
One pair of players join hands and raise them up, forming a gate. The remaining participants in the game, holding hands, walk through the gate in a chain and chant:
Mother Spring is coming,
Open the gate.
The first of March has come -
He brought all the children.
And behind it comes April -
He opened the window and door.
And when May came -
Walk as much as you want now!
After letting everyone through several times, the players forming the goal ask each one which side he chooses - right or left.
Divided into 2 teams, everyone makes up new pairs and, holding hands, raising them up, stand in a row behind the goal. One of the players, who does not have a pair, enters the gate, and they sing to him:
Mother Spring is walking
Alone through the fields and forests
Saying goodbye for the first time
Any other time is prohibited
And we won’t miss you the third time!
Then he uses the edge of his palm to separate the hands of the standing couples. The resulting 2 teams measure their strength - tug of war.
Woodpecker.
The players choose a participant representing a woodpecker. The remaining players approach the tree with the woodpecker and sing:
A woodpecker walks across the arable land,
Looking for a grain of wheat,
I couldn’t find it and I’m pounding the bitches,
A knock is heard in the forest.
Knock-knock-knock!
After this, the woodpecker takes a stick and, counting to himself, knocks on the tree the intended number of times. Whichever player is the first to correctly name the number and run around the tree as many times as possible becomes the new woodpecker and the game is repeated.
Zarya - Zaryanitsa.
One of the guys holds a pole with ribbons attached to a wheel. Each player takes up the tape. One of the players is the driver. He stands outside the circle. Children walk in a circle and sing a song:
Zarya - Zaryanitsa, red maiden,
She was walking across the field and dropped her keys.
The keys are gold, the ribbons are blue.
One, two - not a crow
And run like fire!
With the last words of the game chorus, the driver touches one of the players, he throws the ribbon, the two of them run in different directions and run around the circle. Whoever grabs the left ribbon first wins, and the loser becomes the driver. The game repeats itself.
Erikalische.
A circle is drawn. According to the counting, Yerykalische is selected. They put on a mask of a terrible monster. He stands in a circle. The rest are running around and chanting:
Eco miracle, miracle - yudo,
Sea Bay - Erikalische!
Eco miracle, miracle - yudo,
From Gorinov's oak - a lame abomination!
Suddenly, the player portraying Erikalische jumps out of the circle and, jumping on one leg, catches the children running around. Whoever he catches, he takes captive into a circle and rests. Then they tease him again, and Erikalische, together with the captive player, jumps on one leg and catches the rest. The game continues until Erikalische and his assistants catch all the children.
Grandfather Mazai.
The players choose Grandpa Mazai. The remaining participants agree on what movements that indicate work they will show him (threshing, reaping, etc.), they approach Grandfather Mazai and sing:
Hello, grandfather Mazai,
Get out of the box!
We won't say where we were
And we’ll show you what they did!
After these words, everyone depicts with their movements the work that they agreed on. If Grandpa Mazai guesses right, the children run away and he catches them. Whoever catches it first becomes the new grandfather Mazai and the game repeats. If he doesn’t guess, he is shown another job.
The thief is a sparrow.
A gardener and a sparrow are selected. The rest of the players form a circle and join hands. The gardener goes out into the middle of the round dance, the sparrow remains behind the circle. The children dance in a circle and the gardener sings:
Hey thief sparrow
Don't peck my hemp
Not mine, not yours, not your neighbor’s.
I'm for that hemp
I'll break your leg.
The gardener runs to catch a sparrow. Children let a sparrow into the circle and release it, but the gardener can only catch it outside the circle. At the same time everyone sings:
Our little sparrow
In a gray army jacket
Doesn't go into an open field
Doesn't bite hemp
Snooping around the yard
Collects crumbs.
Having caught a sparrow, the gardener changes places with it, or a new gardener and sparrow are selected, and the game is repeated.
Owl.
One of the players portrays an owl, the rest - mice. The owl calls out: “Morning!” and immediately the mice begin to run and jump. The owl shouts: “Day”, the mice continue to move. The owl says: “Evening!”, then the mice begin to walk around it and sing:
Oh, you little owl,
Golden head
Why don't you sleep at night?
Are you still looking at us?
The owl says "Night". At this word, the mice instantly freeze. The owl approaches each of the players and tries to make them laugh with various movements and funny grimaces. The one who laughs or makes any movement is eliminated from the game. The one who doesn't laugh stays in the game.
Silent.
The players choose a leader, sit around him and sing:
Horses, horses, my horses,
We sat on the balcony
We drank tea, washed cups,
In Turkish they said:
-Chab – chalyabi, chab – chalyabi.
The cranes have arrived
And they told us: “Freeze!”
And who will die first?
He'll get a bump on the forehead.
Don't laugh, don't chat,
And stand like a soldier!
As soon as the last word is sung, everyone falls silent. The driver tries to make each of the children laugh - with movements, funny grimaces. If one of the players laughs or says a word, he gives the driver a forfeit. At the end of the game, each of the participants redeems their phantom: at the request of the driver, they perform various actions (sing, read a poem...)
Blind Man's Bluff.
The players choose a participant portraying a cat, blindfold him with a handkerchief - he is the blind man's buff - lead him to the door and sing:
Come, cat, to the threshold,
Where is the sour cream and cottage cheese!
Turn around five times
Catch the mice, not us!
After these words, everyone runs away, and the cat looks for them. Children dodge, squat, walk on all fours (however, you cannot hide or run very far!). If the cat comes close to any object that can be hit, he is warned by saying: “FIRE!” . When the blind man's buff cat catches one of the children, he takes his place, and the game is repeated.

The players stand in a circle, each participant, without leaving his place, spins. At the same time everyone sings:
Grind, grind the mill,

At the last word of the song, everyone must stop and stand still. Whoever falls or fails to stop in time leaves the game, the rest repeat the song and spin around again. The most enduring one remains in the circle. he wins.
Ice.
They play in winter. Children stand in a circle. The driver comes out to the middle. He jumps on one leg and pushes a piece of ice in front of him with the other. They sing to him:
Captain, captain,
Don't hit your feet with ice,
On crooked boots!
Your nose is knotty
Head with a bow,
Back with a box!
To this the driver answers:
I jump along the path on one leg,
In an old shoe,
Over stumps, over hummocks,
Over the hills, over the slides.
Bang! By the minks!
With the last words, the driver tries to hit the players’ feet with a piece of ice. The children jump, missing the piece of ice. Whoever the piece of ice touches becomes the new driver and continues the game.
Throws.
One of the players picks up the ball and sings:
Olya, Kolya, green oak
White lily of the valley, gray bunny
Give it up!
With the word “Drop it!” throws the ball up strongly. Whichever player is the first to catch it on the fly sings the same game chorus and tosses the ball.

The players choose two. One is blindfolded with a scarf, the other is given bells. Then they lead a round dance around them:
Tryntsy - bryntsy bells,
The ends are gilded.
Who plays the bells -
The blind man's buff won't catch him!
After these words, the player with the bells begins to ring them and walk in a circle, and the blind man's buff tries to catch him. As soon as the blind man's buff catches him, they are replaced by other players, and the game continues.
Ring.
Children sit in a row and fold their palms into a boat. The driver places his palms in the palms of each participant in the game. To one of them he must quietly leave a “ring” - a ring, a pebble, a nut, which is squeezed between his palms. At the same time they sing:
I'm walking along the bench
I bury the gold ring -
In mother's mansion,
Under Father's castle.
You can't guess, you can't guess!
I can’t tell you, I can’t tell you!
Those sitting answer:
We've been wondering for a long time
We have been looking for a ring for a long time -
Everything is behind strong locks,
Behind oak doors.
Then one of the players tries to guess who has the hidden ring. They say to him: “The ring rolled from the red porch - along the barns, through the cages, through the barns, through the entryway. Find the golden ring! If he finds it, they run around the shop with the one who had the ring. They run in different directions. Whoever comes running first becomes the driver.

A lark sang in the sky,
The bell rang.
Frolic in silence
I hid the song in the grass.
Children stand in a circle and sing. Lark - a driving child with a bell moves in hops inside the circle. At the end of the song he stops and places the bell on the floor between the two children. These children turn their backs to each other. Everyone says: “Whoever finds the song will be happy for a whole year.” The two run around the circle, moving in opposite directions. Whoever grabs the bell first becomes the Lark. The game repeats itself.

Children. Found it!
Master. Is my girl good?
Children. Good, hard-working, beautiful. Take a seat (The master and the girl sit on chairs with their backs to each other.) One, two, three! (On the count of “three” the master and the girl turn their heads; if they turn in one direction, the master and the girl become a couple; if they turn in different directions, it means no luck)

Grandfather Prokop. No, it’s not ripe, I just planted it and need some rain.
Children. Rain, rain, there will be a glorious harvest (they raise and lower their hands imitating trickles of rain) Hello Grandfather Prokop! (They go to the center of the circle, bow) Are your peas not ripe? (They return to their original place) Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Delicious, sweet peas! (stomp rhythmically).
Grandfather Prokop. No, it’s not ripe, it’s just pouring. It's warm, we need some sun.

The person sitting in the center of the circle stands up and tries to guess who has the “gold” in his hand. Everyone counts loudly to three. If the driver did not guess correctly, then the child will say “Here is gold!” runs away, and he catches up with him.
CONCLUSION:
Folk games teach children a lot and contribute to the development of dexterity, speed of movement, and accuracy. They teach you to be smart. Of course, these games are a national treasure, and it is important that preschoolers know and love them.
2.5.6. Russian folk outdoor games
a new game called “Climbers”. It’s interesting that he began his explanation of the game with a plot story:
“On the vast territory of our Motherland there are deep rivers and lakes, waterless deserts, wide plains and high mountains. The mountains reach their peaks into the sky. Grass spreads at the foot of the mountains in summer. And at this time the snow caps turn white on the peaks, which do not melt even in extreme heat, because it is very cold at the top.
To climb to the “top”, you need to walk along narrow mountain paths (benches), climb into a cave (arcs placed in a row), jump over cracks in the rock (jump over a rope) and, finally, climb to the top (climb a gymnastic ladder) . The group that reaches the top first will win.”
Thus, an indicator of children’s creativity in the game is not only the speed of reaction, the ability to enter into a role, conveying their understanding of the image, independence in solving motor problems in connection with a change in the game situation, but also the ability to create combinations of movements, game options, and complicate the rules. The highest manifestation of creativity in children is their inventing of outdoor games and the ability to organize them independently.
In the school preparatory group, along with story-based and non-storyline games, relay races, sports games, and games with elements of competition are held.
Children in the preparatory group should know all the ways to select leaders and make extensive use of counting rhymes.
Children of all ages have a great need for play, and it is very important to use outdoor play not only to improve motor skills, but also to develop all aspects of the child’s personality. A well-thought-out methodology for conducting outdoor games helps to reveal the child’s individual abilities, helps to raise him healthy, cheerful, cheerful, active, able to independently and creatively solve a wide variety of problems.
The educational significance of folk outdoor games is enormous. K.D. Ushinsky wrote that education, created by the people themselves and based on popular principles, has that educational power that is not found in the most best systems based on abstract ideas or borrowed from another people.
K.D. Ushinsky also considered it necessary to pay attention to folk games, work through this rich source, organize them and create from them an excellent and powerful educational tool.
According to A.P. Usova, the games that children borrow from each other, the younger generation from the older, were created by the people, as well as folk songs and fairy tales. It is for this reason that they are called folk.
The enormous educational significance of folk outdoor games was pointed out by everyone who in one way or another encountered them in their scientific and pedagogical activities.
First of all, it is necessary to turn to the works of E. A. Pokrovsky. This outstanding scientist noted that in the life of the Russian people, various types of games and games have occupied a very prominent place since ancient times. He was one of the few who paid attention to such a feature of folk games as the reflection in them of the history of a particular nation. In the old days there were especially many games with a touch of pagan cult, such as, for example, the celebration of Kostroma, Yarila, etc., which were mostly accompanied by noisy, loud fun, songs and games. From early spring until late autumn in Russian villages, at every folk or temple holiday, people have long led round dances, accompanied by a special kind of songs and games! E. A. Pokrovsky emphasized that outdoor games are of great educational importance, since they require “the most extensive participation of all spiritual and physical forces: with the dexterous, nimble movement of the body and its members, a boldly conceived plan, speed of decision, and prudence in its implementation are combined.” , presence of mind in unforeseen cases, tirelessness and perseverance in carrying out the plan to a strictly defined goal.< >Most games of this kind are played in clean air, in wide spaces, with increased movements, and it is clear that games of this kind undoubtedly contribute to the best well-being and development of the body.”
Based on an analysis of national games, he came to the conclusion that the character of the people undoubtedly leaves its noticeable imprint on many manifestations of people’s public and private life. This character also affects children’s games, being reflected in them all the more sharply and clearly, the more enthusiastically and spontaneously the children play, and therefore with more freedom to Manifest their national character.
Ardently defending the idea of the national character of children's outdoor games, E.A. Pokrovsky did not deny the possibility of doing gymnastics.
He considered outdoor games as the most natural form of physical exercise for children, corresponding to their anatomical and psychological characteristics. Children's outdoor games, taken from the treasury of folk games, answer
national characteristics, fulfill the task of national education. They act not only as a factor in physical development and education, but also as a means of spiritual formation of personality. E.A. Pokrovsky wrote that toys and games are often made the first means of education, giving the first impetus to the further direction of the character, mindset and vocation of individuals and even an entire nation; It is national children's games that represent the most important educational means, consistent with the spirit of the people, in the same way as folk speech, folk poetry, fairy tales, sayings, riddles, etc. achieve the same thing.
The healing, hygienic value of the game depends on one more factor, the importance of which was certainly pointed out by all outstanding teachers and philosophers, starting with Plato - this is the interest and feeling of pleasure and joy that accompany the game.
P. F. Lesgaft pointed out that in national games a child acquires familiarity with the habits and customs of only a certain area, family life, and a certain environment surrounding him. He considered outdoor games to be the most valuable means of comprehensively educating a child’s personality and developing his moral qualities: honesty, truthfulness, endurance, discipline, and camaraderie. P.F. Lesgaft was one of the first to propose the use of outdoor games in raising children. His words are known: “We must use games to teach them (children) self-control.” In the game it is necessary to “teach them to restrain their divergent feelings and thus accustom them to subordinate their actions to consciousness.”
The great importance of folk outdoor games was pointed out not only by scientists and teachers, but also by public figures. Thus, A.N. Sobolev (clergyman, member of the Vladimir Scientific Archival Commission) noted that “games are of great importance for children in terms of the pleasure they give them. Children live in play; everything worldly is distant from them at this time, their initiative and creativity are manifested here in all their strength; in the game the whole appearance of the players grows with their tastes, inclinations, mental makeup and talents. The process of the game sets in motion the entire being of the player: both physical and spiritual. When children start playing, they want to play, i.e. have a good time, and this pleasantness of the game sometimes encourages children to play until they are completely tired, as long as they have any strength to play. Village children's games are much more varied and fun than urban ones. Every year, new ones are added to them, invented by the players themselves; their life suggests. And here the keen observation skills of children often manifest themselves,
natural Russian intelligence, not yet crushed by any everyday hardships.”
The need to pay attention to folk games in raising children was pointed out by teacher E. N. Vodovozova. She recommended borrowing games from her people and diversifying them in accordance with Russian life. An outdoor game should teach intelligence and resourcefulness.
The main condition of these games is to develop the child’s imagination so much that later he himself, without the help of a teacher, can invent similar games.
A.P. Usova attached great importance to the use of Russian folk outdoor games. She noted that, first of all, games serve as undoubted proof of the talent of the people and an instructive example of the fact that a good children's game is an example of high pedagogical skill; What is striking is not only this or that individual game, but also how folk pedagogy perfectly determined the sequence of games from infancy to adulthood.
Folk games are figurative, so they captivate mainly preschool children. Games contain an element of struggle, competition, and therefore evoke emotions of joy, fear and encourage caution, and this captivates children.
But without knowing the origins of the game, without taking into account their national characteristics and flavor, one cannot say that the educational significance of folk games is fully revealed. In order for teachers to be able to interest children in Russian folk outdoor games, they must first of all know the history of their appearance and their educational significance.
Many types of Russian folklore, including outdoor games, go back in their origins to the primitive communal system. But there is almost no information left about this. The ancient chroniclers were more interested in the structure of life of adults, describing their wars and the characters of their leaders, in a word, the more political side of life; they usually paid too little attention to children, and their games were, apparently, imagined as hardly permissible children's pranks.
Most folk games are rooted in religious layers of life. For example, one of the reasons for the appearance of outdoor games is ritual games associated with superstitions and prejudices. A significant part of Russian folk art is associated with paganism. Pagan romance gave special color to Russian folk culture.
The beliefs of the tribes were based on the worship of the sun, fire, water and earth. Man expected nature to send down earthly
benefits by honoring ancestors, casting magic spells and making sacrifices to spirits or gods.
In the pagan culture of Ancient Rus', there was no separate caste of priests; sacrifices and prayer services were performed by any person at the altars and statues of the then revered gods (Yarilo - Sun, Belyos- patron of livestock Mokosh- goddess of water, rain, Svarog - god of weapons, sky and heavenly fire).
In addition, the culture of Rus' developed on the basis of the cruelest exploitation of the working people, mainly the peasantry. All this was reflected in the games that were part of the life of the Russian people.
Almost all areas of oral folk art are permeated to varying degrees by the game: from a song that is “played” to a wedding - a kind of dramatic game with a clearly defined ritual and playful behavior of each character. Special forms of ritual play behavior can be found in calendar rituals and folk games organized on Christmastide, Maslenitsa, Trinity, Kupala Night, etc.
The game at this time was not just leisure entertainment, but a way of organizing a person’s economic, family and social life. The game taught and instructed. The game developed all human abilities: intelligence, observation, dexterity, endurance, plasticity, the ability to communicate as circumstances require.
An interesting example of a ritual game, during the performance of which songs were sung with the obligatory mention of Lada (an organic combination of the agrarian deity and the patroness of marriage, containing the name of Lada), is the well-known game “And we sowed millet.”
And here is another game from this period in the life of the Russian people, but from children's folklore - burners. We read about it from S.K. Yakub: “Russian historians of the last century directly connected the burners with the customs of the pagan Slavs. Every year on the longest day of the summer solstice (June 23), the Slavs had a holiday Yarily(and later - Kupala), dedicated to the Sun. By evening, our distant ancestors - the Slavs - converged on river banks, lit fires for night games, jumped over the fire and swam, “to meet the rising luminary in purity.” On the same night, the “washing and nodding” of the girls also took place. In our most ancient chronicle - “The Tale of Bygone Years” - it says about it this way: “I’m like the games, the dancing, and all the demonic games, and that wife’s wife.” - These words refer to a more ancient type burners, where a guy can only catch a girl.
The origin of the very name of the game - “burners” - is testified by the Russian historian, famous collector of folk tales A. N. Afanasyev. Here is what he writes about this: “In the epi-gical language of folk songs... it is sung:
It’s not the fire that burns, it’s not the resin that boils, It’s the heart that burns and boils zealously for the red maiden...
The burners begin with the onset of spring, when the goddess Lada was glorified, when nature itself enters into its blessed union with the thunder god and the earth is accepted as its kind. Obviously, this game dates back to ancient times...”
During the winter holidays, at festive gatherings, the game song “Drema” was also performed, also associated with calendar holidays. \ mi, the rules of behavior in which are inherited from ancient pagan times. It can be assumed that Drema here is the image of the Sun, who is awakened, lightly, playfully reproached, expecting warmth from him:
It will be, Dremushka, dozing, full, Dozing, it’s a shame to sleep. Get up!
For Christmas time "they drove the Goat" who amused everyone with her antics. Maybe part of the dramatic scenes with this character \ The key is a game where the goat must show how old women, old men, girls, young men and, finally, the goat herself are jumping, i.e. the people are having fun, waiting for spring. Perhaps for the Christmas game | The song “I’m already burying gold” goes back to the famous children’s game “Ko-ilechko” (“Ring, ring, go out onto the porch”).
In another children's game, “Kostroma,” scientists find echoes of an ancient pagan ritual game in honor of Kostroma, who personified the spring-summer deity. Young girls and women made a stuffed animal out of straw, dressed it in an elegant sundress, decorated it with flowers, put it in a trough and, imitating a funeral, carried it to the river with songs. There they sang and danced all night, and then Kostroma was stripped and thrown into the river, mourning her death, along with which all the summer round dances and festivities ended. It was time for the summer harvest. And in the children's chorus there are words about the ancient meaning of the game:
We decorated Kostroma and said goodbye to spring and summer.
Although it has an enhanced entertainment function: the outcome of the game is
then, essentially, traps, after all, children need to run!215
