Outdoor games while walking. Outdoor games for the older group. Outdoor game "Geese - Swans"

Walking with children is one of the popular forms of leisure. This is a very convenient time for games. True, they are not the only activity during a walk, but they make the rest intense and fulfilling.

What games are most suitable for a walk? First of all, mobile ones, which develop in children speed and accuracy of movements, dexterity, courage and, of course, cause positive emotions for all players. These are trap games, competition games, ball games and many others.

Wide range of Russians folk games allows you to select those that can be used in different times year (so, separately allocate winter Games with snowballs), in various conditions: in the courtyard of a house, in a forest clearing, on the river bank. These include doubles and team games.

So, let's play while walking!

Hide and seek games

Lifesaver

The driver is selected using a counting rhyme. One of the players throws a stick as far as possible, everyone hides. The driver runs for a stick, returns, and knocks with it (on a wall, bench, etc.). At the same time he may say:

The stick has arrived

I didn't find anyone.

Whom will he find first?

He'll go get the stick.

One two three four five -

I'm going to look.

Who didn't hide -

I am not guilty.

Who's behind me?

He's on fire.

The driver puts down the stick and looks for those hiding, trying not to go too far. Noticing one of the players, he shouts: “I see... (says a name),” runs to the stick, saying: “Knock, knock, the stick is in place.” This is how they find all the participants in the game. The first one found when repeating the game should lead.

However, the player who was seen can run to the stick before the driver with the words: “The lifesaver, help me out” - and knock. Then again throw it as far as possible and, while the driver is looking for the stick, hide again.

The player who was finally found and “caught” stands near the stick. But he can be rescued. While the driver is looking for the others, one of the players quietly comes out of hiding, quickly runs to the wand with the words: “A lifesaver, help me out... (says the player’s name),” knocks with it, then throws it as far as possible. While the driver is looking, the children are hiding.

Instructions for carrying out: This game can be played by two or a small group. With a large number of participants, the game is more interesting: you can use dressing up and help each other out (adults should act as initiators). You should remember the rules: the driver cannot peep when everyone is hiding, the players can run from one place to another while the driver looks for the magic wand and puts it in place. The driver must search throughout the area, and not stand near the stick. The game can be played in the yard or in a forest clearing, but in a limited area. The most convenient stick for playing is 50-60 cm long.

Choice Games

Golden Gate

They choose two stronger players. They step aside and agree which of them will be the sun and which will be the moon. Then the children stand facing each other, hold hands and raise them to form a gate. The rest of the players join hands and walk in a line through the gate. Those depicting the gate at this time say:

Golden Gate

Not always missed:

Saying goodbye for the first time

The second one is prohibited

And for the third time

We won't miss you!

The gate closes at the last words and catches the one who did not have time to pass. The detainee is asked quietly which side he would like to take: the moon or the sun. He chooses and stands behind the named player.

When everyone has made a choice, two teams have a tug-of-war using a rope or holding hands.

Instructions for carrying out: The game involves an even number of players, 6 or more. It is held in a free area. It is better if the gate is depicted by adults. In order not to be caught, participants can speed up their pace, start running, and those catching, in turn, change the tempo of the recitative. The game becomes more active and fun. Those walking or running cannot separate their hands; they must hold hands with at least one player. Anyone who breaks this rule is considered caught.

Proryvaty

The players are colluded into 2 teams. Holding hands, they line up opposite each other in a chain at a distance of 7-8 steps. Then from each team in turn they begin to call: “Tary-bars, give... (name).” The person named separates from the team and runs to those calling, and when he runs up, he tries to break through the chain they have formed. If he succeeds, he takes one of the “severed” to his team - by choice; if not, then he himself remains on someone else’s team. The “breakthrough” occurs alternately until there is only one player left on any team.

Boyars (variant)

Having divided into 2 teams, the participants of the game take turns approaching each other at an even pace to the beat of the sentence. One group asks a question, the other answers.

- Boyars, we have come to visit you, Dear ones, we have come to visit you.

- Boyars, why did you come? Dear ones, why did you come?

- Boyars, we need a bride,

Dear ones, we need a bride.

- Boyars, which one do you need?

Dear ones, which one do you need?

- Boyars, we need this one,

Dear ones, we need this one.

- Boyars, her teeth hurt,

Dear ones, her teeth hurt.

- Boyars, and we will give her gingerbread,

Dear ones, we are going to bake her a gingerbread.

- Boyars, she doesn’t eat gingerbread,

Dear ones, she doesn’t eat gingerbread.

- Boyars, and we use her whip,

Dear ones, we will whip her.

- Boyars, she is afraid of the whip,

Dear ones, she is afraid of the whip.

- Boyars, open the gates,

Give us the bride forever!

At the words “we need this one,” the selected player turns his back to the opposing team and walks in this position until the end of the “negotiations.” At the end of the “negotiations” he runs, trying to break through the clasped hands of the players of the other team. If he fails to break the chain, he remains with his opponents, and if he succeeds, he returns to his team and takes the “prisoner” with him. Those who manage to transfer all the players to themselves win.

Instructions for carrying out: preschoolers are most interested in the “Boyars” option. The chains can be small - 3-4 people. Participants agree who they will choose. The moment of choice is the most emotional in the game.

Competition games

Distillations and restarts

The players stand in a row and run to a given place. Everyone's task is to distinguish themselves from others. The distance is determined depending on the physical capabilities of the players. Pleasure comes not only from winning, but also from participating in a joint race.

Instructions for carrying out: This game is best played together. It can be offered to a child in various situations, for example, when going to kindergarten or returning home: “Who is faster to that birch tree?” The players run to the designated place.

Push-pull

Pairs compete in a 20-30 meter race. The players run holding hands and pressing their backs to each other. Having reached the finish line, they return to the start. It turns out that the player runs with his face in one direction, and backs away in the other.

Instructions for carrying out: Four players can play this game. We recommend the following combination of pairs: adult and child (mother and son, father and daughter) or adults (one pair) and children (another pair). The game is played on a spacious court. Rules: you cannot lift or carry your partner; Those who fall or become confused are eliminated from the game.

turnip

The one depicting a turnip (he is chosen using a counting rhyme) holds tightly to a stationary object: a tree, a stump, a post. The others grab each other around the waist. One of the players tries to “pull out” the turnip, that is, pull the player representing the turnip away from the tree. If this succeeds, all players lose their balance and fall to the ground; only the most dexterous can stay on their feet. If the row breaks and the turnip is not pulled out, everyone laughs: “We didn’t eat the turnip.”

Instructions for carrying out: The minimum number of participants is 4 people. This game is good to play in the forest while walking, choosing a convenient area. After several unsuccessful attempts to “pull out” the turnip, a new turnip is selected. All players must play this role.

Radish

The players stand one after another, clasping their hands in the form of a long ridge. The first one is called grandma, all the others are called radishes.

One of the players chosen by lot is called Ivashka Popov. He approaches the grandmother and talks to her: “Knock, knock.” - "Who is here?" - “Ivashka Popov.” - “Why did you come?” - “For the radishes.” - “I’m not in time, come tomorrow.”

Ivashka Popov leaves, but soon returns. The conversation with the grandmother is repeated, but the ending changes - the grandmother replies: “Pull whichever one you want.” Ivashka pulls everyone in turn.

Instructions for carrying out: The game can have 4 or more participants. The radishes try to hold each other tightly. Ivashka can shake players - some by the head, some by the hands, etc. Players who laugh are easier to “pull out”.

Circular rope

The players tie the ends of the rope and stand in a circle, holding it with their hands. The driver, chosen by lot, stands in the center of the circle and tries to hit someone on the hand. The player should try to notice such a movement and remove his hand from the rope.

Instructions for carrying out: The game involves 4 or more players. The game is more lively if the driver uses deceptive gestures. Rules: you cannot remove both hands from the rope at once; The driver drives until he hits someone on the hand.

Smoking room

The players sit next to each other, quite close to each other, and someone lights a thin splinter. When it burns well, it is extinguished and passed from hand to hand while the fire is still smoldering. The one in whose hands it goes out must fulfill some order. Passing the splinter, everyone sings or says:

Once upon a time there was a smoking room,

Once upon a time there lived a Strangler.

Already at the Smoking Room,

Already at the Strangler

The legs are small,

The soul is short.

Don't die, Smoking Room,

Don't die, Strangler!

The legs are small,

The soul is short.

The Smoking Room is alive, alive.

The Strangler is alive, alive!

Instructions for carrying out: This game is good to play in the forest by the fire. The orders can be very different: performing songs, poems, tongue twisters, performing various movements, depicting something or someone (depicting a bear, samovar, etc.).

Imitation game

Snake

The players join hands to form a chain. One of the last ones in the chain becomes the driver. He runs, dragging all the participants in the game with him, and as he runs he describes various figures: in a circle, around trees, makes sharp turns, jumps over obstacles, moves the chain like a snake, twisting it around the end player, then unwinds it. The game continues until you get bored.

Instructions for carrying out: minimum number of participants is 3 people; you can play at any time of the year on a spacious area. Rules: the players must hold each other’s hands tightly so that the snake does not break, and accurately repeat the movements of the driver. To make the game lively, you need to teach children to invent interesting situations. For example, at the driver’s signal, the children scatter, then restore the snake.

Riddle games

In heaps

The driver, chosen with the help of a counting rhyme, takes one thing from the players, hides it in piles of sand so that one of them contains two things, the other one, and the third none. Having hidden the objects, the driver offers to look for them. Whoever gets a pair wins, and whoever gets an empty pile loses. The winner becomes the driver.

Instructions for carrying out: The game involves 3 people. It's good to spend time summer holiday by the river, by the sea. You can hide pebbles, cones and other objects. It is important to remember that the players make their choices one at a time, and the game continues as long as it generates interest.

Grandfather Mazai

The guesser, Grandfather Mazai, is chosen by lot. The remaining players step aside and agree on how they will explain themselves to him.

Then everyone approaches the guesser and bows:

- Hello, grandfather Mazai!

- Hello, guys! Where have you been? What they were doing?

“We won’t tell you where we were, but we’ll show you what we did.”

The players use signs and gestures to represent some activity or work (picking berries, washing clothes, etc.). The guesser must name what is being shown to him. If he guesses right, the players run away. Whoever Grandpa Mazai catches becomes the driver.

Instructions for carrying out: This game involves from 2 to 7 people. Two people can play at home. Rule: players should run away only after the guesser names what they have in mind; players can be caught up to certain limits. The most emotional moment of the game is making a guess, showing the work (task). Children develop the ability to imitate labor actions and intelligence.

Paints

The owner and buyer are chosen by lot. The rest of the players are paint. Each paint comes up with a color and quietly names it to the owner, he invites the buyer. 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 to us!” or “Ride on one leg along the blue path, bring me blue boots!” If the buyer guesses the color, he takes the paint for himself.

When a buyer guesses several colors, he becomes the owner, and a new buyer is chosen from among the colors guessed.

If there are more participants, you can choose two buyers: first one talks to the owner, then the other. They come up one by one and sort out the paints. The buyer who guesses the most colors wins.

Instructions for carrying out: maximum amount participants - 5-6 people. The game requires a lot of space. It can be complicated by the fact that the buyer is offered to catch the guessed paint. At the same time, the boundaries up to which players are allowed to be caught are determined. In this game, the child develops voluntary attention and memory: he must remember what colors exist, and retain the hidden colors in his memory.

Common blind man's buff

One of the players - the blind man's buff - has his eyes closed, taken away from the rest of the players and forced to turn around several times. Then they talk to him, for example: “Cat, cat, what are you standing on?” - “In the kettle.” - “What’s in the kneader?” - “Kvass!” - “Catch mice, not us!”

After these words, the players run away, and the blind man's buff catches them. Whoever he catches becomes a blind man's buff.

Crooked rooster (variant)

One of the players is blindfolded and seated on a bench. Everyone comes up to him and says: “Goodbye, crooked rooster!” - and quickly disperse around the site.

The driver - a crooked rooster - gets up from his place and goes to look. He tries to make the player he finds laugh in order to guess who he is. If he is recognized, he becomes the driver.

Instructions for carrying out: The game is played on a spacious court. Its boundaries must be precisely defined, and players should not go beyond them. If a blind man’s buff crosses the boundary of the site, he is stopped with the word “fire.” The players must run around the blind man's buff inaudibly. Those who are bolder can come up to him, touch his shoulder, back, arm and run away, they can say behind the blind man’s buff: “Ku-ku”, “Au-u”, etc. n. Adults show examples of such game situations.

Players can dodge blind man's buff, crouch, and walk on all fours. The blind man's buff must recognize the caught player and call him by name without removing the bandage.

Eagle owl and birds

The players choose an eagle owl using a counting rhyme, and it goes to its nest. The rest choose for themselves the names of the birds whose voice they want to imitate, and “scatter” around the site. At the signal “Owl!” everyone is trying to fly to their nests. If an eagle owl manages to catch someone, he must guess what kind of bird it is, and only then does the caught one become an eagle owl.

Birdcatcher (option)

The players stand in a circle, the blindfolded birdcatcher is in the center. Birds walk around the bird-catcher and chant:

In the forest, in the little forest,

On a green oak tree

The birds sing merrily.

Ay! The bird catcher is coming

He will take us into captivity,

Birds, fly away!

The bird catcher claps his hands, the players freeze in place, and he begins to search. The one who was found imitates the cry of the bird he identified himself as. The birder guesses the name of the bird and the name of the player. The player becomes a bird catcher.

Instructions for carrying out: The game is played on a spacious court. Number of participants: 3 people or more. It is better to choose nests on stumps and benches. Each bird hides from the eagle owl in its own nest (“The Owl and the Birds”).

Hunters and ducks

On the site, draw 2 lines at a distance of 6-8 m from one another, and arbitrarily determine the width of the site (also limited by lines). The players are colluded into two teams - hunters and ducks. The hunters stand behind the drawn lines, the ducks are located in the center. The hunters throw the ball to each other and at the right moment throw it at the ducks. The duck hit by the ball leaves the game. The game continues until all the ducks are “shot”, after which the teams change roles.

Instructions for carrying out: This game can be played by 4 to 12 people. It is better to play while walking in the forest, choosing a flat clearing. The ball should be medium size (preferably a volleyball). Rules: hunters do not have the right to step over the line; you cannot hit a duck with a ball that has bounced off the ground; The “shot” duck is temporarily not involved in the game (until all the ducks are killed and the teams change places).

Each team has its own captain (“mother”). He can help out the losing team if he completes the task: during 10-12 throws of the ball he will never be “shot down.”

Ducks can catch the ball (“candles”) - these are spare points, in which case the subsequent hit to the duck does not count.

The game is especially interesting for younger schoolchildren (they have a better developed eye, more accuracy in knocking out ducks). However, preschoolers can also be involved in the game, and each team must have an adult and a child.

Flying ball (dogs)

The players stand in a circle, the driver is in the middle. At the signal, the children begin to throw the ball to each other through the center of the circle. The driver tries to hold the ball, catch it or touch it with his hand. If he succeeds, he stands in a circle and replaces the player who threw the ball unsuccessfully, or the player who had the ball when the driver touched it.

Instructions for carrying out: minimum number of players - 3 people. The game is played in a free area. The rules must be followed: you are allowed to move from your spot when catching the ball, players must not hold the ball.

If there are many participants in the game, you can choose two drivers. The driver has the right to touch not only the ball in someone’s hands, in the air, on the ground, but also the ball that has flown out of the circle. This version of the game is of greatest interest to younger schoolchildren.

Gawker

The participants of the game stand in a circle at a distance of one step from each other and begin to throw the ball, calling by name the person who must catch it. The ball is thrown around until one of the players drops it. The one who dropped it stands in the center of the circle and, according to the instructions of the players, performs 1-2 exercises with the ball. You can take forfeits from the guilty ones, and when playing them, offer to perform exercises with the ball: throw the ball high and, when it bounces off the ground, catch it; Having thrown the ball up, clap your hands several times and catch the ball.

Statues (option)

All participants in the game stand in a circle and throw the ball to each other. Whoever does not catch must remain in the same position as when the ball fell and not move until the end of the game. If all the players turn out to be statues, except one, then the latter can revive them: stand in the middle of the circle, throw and catch the ball 10 times (there may be another task by agreement of the participants). If he drops the ball, the last statue stands in the middle of the circle and revives the others in the same way.

Instructions for carrying out: This game is best played with a small team. It is more interesting for children up to school age. The ball can be taken of any size depending on the children’s skills; The smaller the ball, the more difficult it is to catch it and perform exercises.

The rules should be remembered: the ball is allowed to be thrown to each other only through the center of the circle; If the player drops the ball while performing the exercise, he is given an additional task.

Ball up

Participants stand in a circle. The driver, chosen by lot, goes to the middle of the circle and throws the ball with the words: “Ball up!” At this time, the players try to run as far as possible from the center of the circle. 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. “Stained” becomes the driver. If the driver misses, then he remains in this role, and the game continues.

Instructions for carrying out: This game can be played with a small group of 3-4 people. Participants must be very attentive and respond quickly to the signal.

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. If one of the players after the command “Stop!” continued to move, then he must take three steps towards the driver. When running away from the driver, players should not hide behind trees or buildings.

Trap games

Tag or tag

By lot, one driver is chosen - a tag, or a tag. The boundaries of the site are conventionally established. The players scatter, and the driver catches up with them, trying to touch someone with his hand, make fun of them, “sully them.” Whomever he catches up with and makes fun of, he becomes a tag, a tag. He begins to catch the players, and the former tag runs away with everyone. You can play the game until you get bored.

Salki with house (option)

For the players, a “home” is drawn on the court, where they cannot be stained or salted. Salka can only salt outside the “house”.

Turkish salki (option)

They don’t salute someone who has managed to sit cross-legged.

Salki “feet off the ground” (option)

To escape from the tag, the players must lift their feet off the ground. To do this, they stand on some object or sit down, lie down with their legs raised up.

Instructions for carrying out: A spacious area is selected for the game. The number of players is from 3 people or more. You can only run within the designated area. Anyone who runs outside its boundaries is considered caught and becomes a tag. Each new driver must announce that he has become a tag, or tag, so that everyone knows who to escape from. The driver should not run after only one player. This is reminiscent of game sentences that children love:

It's not a race for one -

You'll catch the pig!

Modern version:

It's not a race for one -

I'm not a five-tonner!

This game develops courage, the ability to mobilize and avoid danger. An adult's approval helps a timid child overcome self-doubt.

Straps or traps

One of the players is the driver. They call him a lyapka. He runs after the players, tries to make someone look bad, and says: “You have a blooper on, give it to someone else!” The new driver is also trying to catch up with the players and give one of them a blooper. The players, running away from the driver, tease him: “If you don’t give a blunder, you won’t grow as big as an inch!”

You can play like this. The driver catches the participants in the game and asks the caught one: “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 players by name, and he becomes the driver.

Cast (option)

One of the players, by lot, stands against the wall; he is called a cast. The rest come up to him and say: “I’m standing at the stove, cooking cabbage soup, saying.” Then everyone hits him on the back with their palm, and everyone runs away. The cast catches players; the one whom he hits with his hand becomes a cast, from which he himself flees.

Instructions for carrying out: these games can be played with older children preschool age and younger schoolchildren in a variety of conditions. Number of participants: 3 people or more. Rules: catching players means touching someone with your hand, but not grabbing the player or dragging him.

Sorcerers

The sorcerer is chosen by lot. He runs after the players, trying to catch them. The first one the sorcerer catches must stop and not move. Other players have the right to remove the spell from him and free him. To do this, you need to quickly run up and touch it with your hand. But the sorcerer keeps a vigilant eye on everyone, trying not to let anyone in and catching the rest.

Instructions for carrying out: the game is played at any time of the year on a spacious site. It becomes more interesting with more participants. You can choose two sorcerers (an adult and a child). When the leader “bewitches” all the participants, a new sorcerer is selected from among them.

"Hot Seat"

On the ground they mark a “hot spot” with a line. One of the players, chosen by lot, leads: he stands at a distance from the “hot spot” and protects it. The players try to get into the “hot spot”. The driver does not let them in and tries to hit or catch them. The beaten one becomes the driver's assistant and together with him catches the rest of the players. Anyone who finds himself in a hot spot can rest there as much as he wants, but as soon as he runs out of there, the driver’s assistants catch him.

When everyone is overfished, the game begins again: the first one beaten becomes the driver and guards the “hot spot”.

Instructions for carrying out: The game requires skill and dexterity from players. It is played, like all trap games, on a spacious area. Adult participation helps regulate children's physical activity.

Baba Yaga

One of the players, chosen by lot by Baba Yaga, stands aside. The others come up to him and tease him:

Baba Yaga, bone leg.

Fell from the stove

I broke my leg.

I went to the garden

The people were scared.

I ran to the bathhouse

I scared the bunny.

Grandma-Hedgehog, bone leg,

She fell from the stove and broke her leg.

I walked down the street

Crushed the chicken.

I went to the market

She crushed the samovar.

I went to the lawn

I scared the bunny.

Baba Yaga begins to jump on one leg, trying to catch the players dodging and running away. The one she catches becomes Baba Yaga, and the game continues.

Instructions for carrying out: The game is interesting for both preschoolers and primary schoolchildren. The minimum number of participants is 3 people. At the request of the players, Baba Yaga may have a branch in her hands - a “broom”, with which she salutes them. At the beginning of the game, you should determine the space in which the participants run from Baba Yaga.

Fox

Players are counted until 1 person remains. They tease him: “Fox, fox, long tail!” The fox rushes to catch the players, and the one she catches helps her catch the others.

Instructions for carrying out: the more participants in the game, the more interesting it is. The rule must be followed: you can only catch players within the established area. The game continues until all players are caught.

Fox, into the hole

They choose a fox and limit the place - a hole in which it stands on one leg. The players tease the fox by tugging at its clothes, imitating the barking of dogs, clapping their hands, etc. The fox quickly turns, makes a jump and tries to hit someone with its hand. If they notice that she has stood on both legs or changed her legs, they shout: “Fox, into the hole, fox, into the hole!”

The one who was hit by the fox becomes a fox, and the first fox joins the players.

Instructions for carrying out: This game can be played by three or a large group. The driver requires special skill, so at first it is better for an adult to take on the role of the fox. The game continues as long as it generates interest.

Frog

The player who portrays a frog squats down. The participants in the game approach him with the words: “I’m in the frog’s house, I do whatever I want; The frog is a fool, he pouted his lips.”

The frog gets up and catches up with the players who are trying to get to their house. The player who reaches the point says: “At home” or: “In his house.” The one who is caught becomes a frog.

Instructions for carrying out: the rules must be followed - the frog begins to catch only after teasing, it only catches while running. At the beginning of the game, the frog's house and the houses of the other players are designated.

By the bear in the forest

The players draw lots to choose a bear that lives in the forest. Children go into the forest to pick mushrooms and berries and say:

By the bear in the forest

I'll take mushrooms and berries!

The bear caught a cold

Frozen on the stove!

By the bear in the forest

I'll take mushrooms and berries!

But the bear doesn't sleep

And he growls at us!

The bear starts tossing and turning, stretching, leaves the den and catches someone. The one who is caught becomes a bear.

Instructions for carrying out: Children of preschool and primary school age from 3 people or more can participate in the game. The rules must be followed: the bear does not have the right to run out until the players say the last words of the recitative (teasing), players may not immediately run to their house, but tease the bear (adults show a model); players can only be caught within the established area.

Hawk and birds

The hawk, chosen by lot, hides from the birds. When they approach him, he jumps out from ambush and catches them. The caught player becomes a hawk. The game is repeated.

Instructions for carrying out: the minimum number of players is 3 people; the game is more interesting to play in a forest clearing, where a hawk can hide in the bushes or behind trees to attack unexpectedly. Birds should fly throughout the area, approaching the hawk's home.

Bees and swallows

The players - bees fly in the clearing and sing, saying:

The bees are flying

The honey is being collected.

Zoom, zoom, zoom!

Zoom, zoom, zoom!

The swallow, chosen by lot, sits in its nest and listens to their singing. At the end of the song, the swallow says: “The swallow will get up and catch the bee.” With the last word, she flies out of the nest and catches the bees. The one caught becomes a swallow, the game repeats.

Instructions for carrying out: minimum number of players - 3 people. Adults participating in the game must balance the physical capabilities of the children with their own. However, children do not need to clearly “give in”, otherwise the game will lose interest for them. It is important to follow the rules: bees must fly throughout the entire area and leave only after the swallow’s words.

Swan geese

The players choose a wolf and an owner, and pretend to be geese themselves. On one side of the site they draw a house where the owner and geese live, on the other - a field. Between them is the wolf's lair. All the geese fly to the field to nibble grass. The owner calls them:

- Geese, geese!

- Ha-ha-ha!

- Do you want something to eat?

- Yes Yes Yes!

- Well, fly home!

— Gray wolf under the mountain,

Doesn't let us go home.

- What is he doing?

- Sharpenes teeth

He wants to eat us.

- Well, fly as you wish.

Just take care of your wings!

The geese run into the house, the wolf tries to catch them. The game ends when all the geese are caught.

You can also use this ending: when the wolf catches everyone, the owner drowns the bathhouse and invites the wolf, the wolf pretends to be steaming. Then the owner says to him: “Little wolf, I’ll throw you a cow,” and throws a stick. The wolf runs after a stick, and at this time the geese run away to their owner.

The game can be complicated by introducing a second wolf into it.

Instructions for carrying out: 5 or more players take part in the game. It is held on a spacious site. It is interesting to play in a meadow, in a forest clearing. Rules: geese must fly throughout the entire site, they are allowed to return home only after the words spoken by the owner. At the end of the game, you can mark the best geese (who never caught the wolf) and the best wolf (who caught the most geese).

Kite

From the strongest players, a kite and a hen are chosen. The kite sits on the ground and digs a hole. A mother hen approaches him, behind which the children stand in single file, holding each other tightly. The hen begins a conversation with the kite:

- Korshun, what are you doing?

- I'm digging a hole.

- Why do you need a hole?

- I'm looking for a penny.

- Why do you need a penny?

— I’ll buy a needle.

- Why do you need a needle?

- Sew a bag.

- Why do you need a bag?

- Put down pebbles.

- Why do you need pebbles?

- Throw at your children.

- For what?

- They’re climbing into my garden!

- You should make the fence higher,

and if you don’t know how, then catch them.

The kite rushes at the chickens: first at the last one, trying to catch it and “tear it off” from the rest. The mother protects her chick, which also tries to evade the hands of the predator. When the kite catches everyone, the game ends.

Instructions for carrying out: The game involves 4 or more players. Mom and dad can act as a kite and a mother hen. It’s good if the kite uses various tricks, for example, suddenly turns in the other direction and grabs the chicken. The movements of the kite should be funny. You should remember the rules: chickens need to hold each other tightly by the waist; the hen, while protecting the chick, has no right to push the kite away with her hands.

Jugs

A cat, mother and daughter are selected, the rest of the players are jugs. They determine where the house will be, where the cellar is, and begin to move the jugs from the house to the cellar:

This is milk

This one has sour cream,

This is the cream

This one contains cottage cheese,

This one contains oil.

Mom and daughter put the jugs in a row (sit them down on their haunches), and they talk to each other. The cat follows his mother, watching what she is doing. Then the mother goes to work and instructs her daughter to watch the cat so that it doesn’t get into the cellar. The daughter goes for a walk, and the cat sneaks into the cellar and takes jugs of milk, sour cream, cream, cottage cheese, and butter to another place. Mom and daughter go looking for jugs, find them from the cat and start catching them. If they catch you, they punish you: they make you jump and dance.

Instructions for carrying out: in playing out a traditional plot, children can be creative: come up with various dialogues, make minor changes to the plot.

Tag with a ball

The free end of a rope 1 m long, at the other end of which a small ball is tied, is tied by the driver to his hand. All the children scatter around the playground, and the driver tries to catch up and hit one of them with the ball. If he succeeds, the stained one becomes a driver. It is not allowed to untie the ball while running.

The task of others is to take the ball from their opponents and knock it out of the circle. After 5 minutes of play, the teams change roles. The winner is the team whose players managed to knock the ball out of the circle the most number of times.

Ball relay race
Children line up in columns, feet shoulder-width apart. The ball is in the hands of the first numbers of both teams. At the signal from the leader, the ball is passed in the following ways:
With 2 hands from top to back, the last player rolls the ball on the floor between the legs of the participants;
the ball is passed from hand to hand between the players’ legs;
the ball is passed with 2 hands with a rotation of the body (left and right).
The last player, having received the ball, lifts it above his head, which means the end of the pass, or runs forward and stands in front of the column.
The first team to complete the pass wins.

Catch the ball

2 long ones are drawn on the ground parallel lines(width 30-50 cm, length 3-5 m). Children stand in a column. The presenter rolls the ball along the corridor. The guys' task is to take turns catching the ball, preventing it from rolling out of the corridor.

The first one to reach and grab it earns his team a point. Then the second numbers run, followed by the third, etc. The team whose players catch the ball the most times wins.

Duck hunting

Children are divided into 2 teams - hunters and ducks. A large circle is drawn on the ground. Ducks are placed in a circle, hunters are placed behind the circle. Hunters, throwing a large ball, try to hit the ducks with it. Ducks that are hit are eliminated from the game. When all the ducks have been spotted, the teams switch places.

Who will throw the ball further?
Children stand at the line and throw the ball against the wall, catch it and take one step back. Gradually retreating from the line, they throw and catch the ball. The winner is the one who never drops the ball and is furthest from the line.

Collection of summer games with preschoolers on a walk

Summer- a favorable time for enriching children with new impressions of the environment. There is an opportunity to see forests, meadows, ponds and their inhabitants.
Children gain ideas about nature and people’s work on excursions, through observations, reading fiction, and teacher’s stories, and then embody them in their games.
During the walk, the children get acquainted with plants, trees, insects in game form. Children are offered the games “Run to the tree”, “Guess which tree the leaf is from?”, “Guess by the description”, “Recognize and name”, etc., they like to play with toys set in motion by the wind “Pinwheels”, “ Ribbons”, with the help of this toy the strength and direction of the wind is determined. Also, after the story and acquaintance with flowers and insects, the children and I look for and watch them on a walk.
After the walk, children like to draw what they saw. Using the appliqué technique, through collective work we create flower meadows, fish ponds and other interesting works. Together with their parents, children are invited to prepare albums about plants, insects, and trees. Children talk about their work with great pleasure.
Summer- this is not only acquaintance, observation and research in nature, but also games on the street, as in summer period Children can spend most of the day on the street and playgrounds. The children enjoy playing with sand and water, building sand structures, and making Easter cakes.
Conducting a survey with children: what is their favorite time of year? Children are happy to celebrate – it’s summer!
In my work, I prepared a collection of games for preschool children on a walk.

A structural component of each walk is outdoor games and play exercises organized by adults. Children of primary preschool age still have little experience in independent motor activity; many movements are in the developmental stage, so outdoor games and play exercises are carried out daily with the aim of training and consolidating motor skills. With their help, health, educational and educational tasks are successfully solved during a walk.

Game exercises are aimed at directly teaching children basic movements. Many of the suggested exercises have plot character(“Along the bridge”, “Through the groove”) and are accepted with pleasure by children. When performing them, each child acts freely and independently.

During a walk, the teacher has the opportunity to pay attention to the quality of the movements of one child, correct the mistakes of another, and support and encourage a third child.

Children enjoy practicing movements such as walking and running. Climbing, various activities with balls and jumping in independent activities are performed less frequently, so it is necessary to include them more often in game exercises.

Children develop the skills to perform various movements through repeated repetition. Therefore, the exercises are naturally woven into the fabric of children’s independent activities and are repeated several times during the walk, depending on the circumstances. You can organize such activities for children at the edge of the forest, in a park, in a meadow, or on the playground of a preschool institution. To do this, you do not need to select special equipment or certain paraphernalia. Additional material is always at hand (balls, ropes, skittles, hoops, etc.), or you can draw the same circles on the sand or asphalt with chalk. The teacher’s task is to offer game exercises for performing basic movements (walking and running, jumping and jumping, crawling and climbing, exercises with balls and hoops). To carry them out, natural terrain conditions (stumps, ditches, hillocks) and natural materials (cones, acorns, chestnuts, pebbles) are used. In winter, snow buildings are widely used. You can walk on stumps (balance exercise), use snowballs, cones, chestnuts when throwing at a target (throw into a basket, hit a stump), into the distance (throw over a bush), lay acorns and pebbles in a path and step over, jump over it.

By actively participating in such play exercises, children bring elements of imagination and creativity into their implementation: they don’t just walk along an inclined plane, but drive like cars, trying not to stop. The exercises are more interesting when the teacher invites everyone to march like soldiers to the beat of a drum or wear scarves like nesting dolls.

It is advisable to involve older children in cooperative games with kids: provide assistance in performing movements, participate as a driver, suggest rules for performing actions.

The adult’s tasks also include monitoring the physical condition of the players. Particular attention should be paid to children with developmental disabilities. External signs of fatigue (shortness of breath, redness of the face, increased sweating) serve as a signal to stop playing.

In order for children to maintain a vigorous, cheerful mood and be provided with favorable conditions To successfully solve problems of physical, mental and moral development, it is advisable to alternate play exercises, reinforcing one or the other motor skills: wisely distribute them during each walk.

In addition to play exercises, an outdoor game lasting 3-4 minutes and planned in advance is played every day during a walk. Preliminary preparation for holding such a game is necessary: ​​a venue is planned, a additional material, attributes. When planning outdoor games, children’s previous activities are taken into account. If in the morning it was carried out physical education lesson, then you can limit your walk to game exercises. In the summer, when children move a lot on their own initiative and enjoy it, one active game is planned during morning and evening walks. In winter, to create a cheerful mood in children, stay on fresh air It is advisable to start with organized outdoor play. A second outdoor game can complete the walk. Rapid fatigue, characteristic of children of this age, is compensated for in each of the proposed games by a change in actions; It is planned to alternate them with short-term rest.

When selecting outdoor games, it is taken into account that children’s knowledge is still insignificant, their horizons are small, and their attention is involuntary and unstable. Therefore, the plot of the game should be simple, understandable (mice, birds are afraid of cats), the characters should be well known (cats, bunnies, balls). A characteristic feature of games is that children perform the same roles (chickens, bear cubs). The movements themselves, as a rule, are of the same type, familiar (flying, running, jumping, spinning), only the characters change (“Bear the Bear in the Forest,” “Cat and the Birds,” “Dog and the Crow”).

Children are happy to join the game if additional paraphernalia is specially prepared for it: hats, emblems of birds and animals, long bunny ears, flowers or wreaths, handkerchiefs, multi-colored ribbons. Large soft toys are often used in outdoor games.

In outdoor play, several tasks are often solved: increasing the emotional tone of each child, satisfying the need for a variety of active movements, clarifying knowledge about various objects (birds are flying, a bunny is jumping), developing speech, developing orientation in the environment (ran to the sandbox, to the veranda) and the ability to listen to an adult, perform movements in accordance with the requirements of the game.

It is necessary to familiarize children with the content of the game, show the attributes selected for it, and offer to wear them. As soon as the children’s excitement subsides, introduce them to the rules of the game. In this case, it is advisable to combine explanations with showing some movements: how to jump and squat correctly, where to run and where to hide. Particular attention is paid to signals according to which it is necessary to change movements, start or stop actions.

All children participate in the game. Transforming into the characters of the game, captivated by it, children repeat various movements many times, practicing and reinforcing the correctness of their execution. Children become accustomed to coordinated collective actions and basic orientation in space. Seniors master the ability to find their place in a column, in a circle. Often, on their own initiative, they engage the kids, put them in a circle, and help them do what is required.

Younger children enjoy repeating the same game. In this case, children have the opportunity to consolidate a new skill, and the text becomes more meaningful for them. Older children want to learn something new. Creating variants is possible by changing texts and making additions to motor tasks. For example, the game “Steam Locomotive” at the beginning of the year can be played using poems by T. Volgina or E. Mashkovskaya about a steam locomotive. Over time, the game actions become more complex: the locomotive moves quickly or slowly, in different directions (see the outdoor game “Train Locomotive”).

The content of the games is gradually enriched. A clear plot and a change of movements performed simultaneously by everyone creates a cheerful mood in children. They learn conversational speech when they do not just repeat after an adult, but respond to him (“Geese”). In the process of outdoor play, the child receives satisfaction both from friendly communication with peers and from the bright attributes that the adult brings to the game. Musical accompaniment, poetic text increase the child’s emotional mood.

The teacher’s task is to monitor the state of the players: depending on this, it is advisable to increase or decrease the time of outdoor play, the number of its repetitions, regulate the duration of breaks between actions, lengthen or shorten the distances of dashes, vary the number of jumps, jumps. Maintaining the joyful mood of the players, the teacher closely monitors each child: he encourages one to move more energetically, and restricts the other, removing excessive excitement.

An adult is an indispensable organizer and participant in the game. Children experience special pleasure from such close communication with him. Emotional expressive speech, facial expressions and gestures of the teacher impress the kids. Seeing the teacher’s kind attitude towards the environment, genuine interest in what is happening, children unwittingly imitate him.
