Children leave the hall to the music.

Many children have little idea of ​​what they can do away from computers and the Internet. The most they know is snowball fights, catch-up games, and sledding. And there are many interesting outdoor games that you can play both in winter and summer. So…

Hlibchik

Rules of the game: The children are divided into the driver (khlibchik) and the rest of the participants, who are divided into pairs and stand holding hands, one after the other. The driver is having a dialogue.

“I’m baking and baking some bread,” the little bread boy shouts.
- Will you bake it? - ask the children from the last pair in the row.
- I'll bake it!
- Will you run away?
- I'll take a look!

Next, the children from this pair should scatter in different sides in order to, having dodged the little bread, again join hands and stand in front of the first couple. Khlibchik must catch one of them and prevent the pair from joining.

What develops: leg muscles, intelligence, coordination in space.

Chaclun

Rules of the game: the sorcerer extends his hand forward, palm down, participants hold their index fingers under it. On the count of “one, two, three,” the sorcerer must grab someone’s finger, and the participants must prevent this from happening and scatter to the sides. The sorcerer must catch up and touch any of the participants. The one who has been “greased” should freeze with his arms spread to the sides. He is bewitched, other participants who touch him can disenchant him, but the sorcerer does not sleep... A player who has been enchanted three times himself becomes a sorcerer.

What develops: leg muscles, speed, coordination in space.

Round horsetail

Rules of the game: the game begins with the phrase: “Cheers, play “Round Horse”! Stand on the mountain and don’t get caught!” Children are divided into pairs, standing in front of each other (two extreme and one in the middle).

The task of the children from the “extreme” pairs is to change places on command, forming new pairs, and the participants of the middle pair must catch someone. As soon as you catch it, the partner from the middle pair and the caught one from the last one must run towards them with all their might. Whoever gets there first forms an outer pair with his partner, the rest stand in the middle.

What develops: agility, reaction speed.

Chaklya

Rules of the game: children choose a leader (heron). The remaining players become frogs. Starting position: the heron is sleeping (the player leans forward with his hands on his knees), at this time the others move, imitating the jumping movements of frogs. Suddenly the heron wakes up and, screaming, begins to catch frogs. Attention: a heron can only move with long steps on straight legs, without bending its knees, and frogs jump on their haunches. The one who rises from the frogs to his full height becomes a heron.

What develops: leg muscles.

Kolyr

Rules of the game: The driver turns his back to the players. Suddenly he must shout out the name of a color (red, blue, yellow), the players quickly find it on their clothes and hold onto the color so that the driver can see it. Those who do not have the named color on their clothes begin to run away. Whoever the driver catches becomes him.

What develops: knowledge of colors, leg muscles, reaction speed, coordination in space.

Vovk and kids

Rules of the game: the wolf is the leader, the rest are the kids. A large circle is drawn with chalk on the asphalt/snow/sand, and around it, at a distance, there are small circles (“houses”), the number of which is 1 less than the number of players. On the count of “three,” the kids from a large circle run around the houses; the one who didn’t get the house must run away from the wolf. If the kid runs around a large circle 3 times and is not caught, then the wolf must stop the pursuit. If the wolf catches up with the kid, it becomes the driver.

What develops: speed, coordination of movements, leg muscles.

Ringing

Rules of the game: children stand in a circle and join hands. The driver stands inside the circle. Covering his face with his hands, he slowly moves in a circle, asking:

- Whose gate?

- Whose are these?

- Tarasa.

-Will you let me in?

- We won’t let you in!

After this, the driver, shouting “Bov,” runs at someone, trying to break his closed hands and run out of the circle. If the hands open, then this pair must catch up with the driver. The one who catches up with the driver becomes the driver himself.

What develops: dexterity, ingenuity, reaction speed.

PEOPLE'S GAMES

Classification of folk games
Folk games can be classified into the following groups:
- more didactic,
- crashes surrounded by written text,
- loose round dance games,
- games of mental directness,
- ritual and symbolic games;
- games of historical directness;
- Play with images of labor processes and people's lives.

Meta: Acquire a rich vocabulary and develop language, become familiar with the practice of folk masters.
Material: small large and small wooden barrels.
Dictionary: special words, forms of execution, words (plane, collect, fold, finish, pour, tank), nicknames.
Activity progress: Conversation-revelation of the trainer:
- Why, children, are these nicknames: Bondar or Bondarenko, Koval or Kovalenko, Tkach or Tkachenko, Kravets, Shvets? Do you know why they stink like that? Listen to this verse for now:
Kim is our great ancestor,
We were given nicknames:
Who is the edge of the cloth - becoming Kravets,
Who shiv vzuttya, nicknamed Shvets.
The pots were spit out by the Potter,
Who sank, they called Sklyar,
Their workers have worked since the early dawn of the Earth.
- Father, who wears the clothes? (Kravets.)
- What about vzuttya? Who's going to break the dishes?
- As in this “Kravtsy Russian” son, who helped his father, his name was Kravchenko, and later this name became a nickname. nicknames were born.
Today you learn about one more interesting profession and the nickname Bondar and Bondarenko. Listen to the words of the song now:

Cooper, cooper,
Why are you robish?
I'm shaving, shaving a board
On an oak barrel.
Cooper, cooper,
Why are you robish?
I'm shaving, shaving planks
On oak barrels.
Cooper, cooper,
Why are you robish?
I'm picking up the boards
I'm stacking the barrels.
Cooper, cooper,
Why are you robish?
I'm putting the barrel away.
I'm filling the hoop.
Cooper, cooper,
Why are you robish?
I blow my chops
Roll up the little girls.
Cooper, cooper,
Why are you robish?
I’m already finishing the barrel,
I'm pouring some water.
Cooper, cooper,
Get on your sides!
To the tank, to the cooper,
Do you want to get wrapped up once? What is it like to be afraid of the cooper? The great-grandfathers of our children, whose nickname was Bondar or Bondarenko, broke barrels.

Hid gree
Diy individuals - Bondar, additional children (possibly Bondarenki). The well-fed children surround Bondar and sing:
Cooper, cooper,
Why are you robish?
Bondar says:
I'm shaving, shaving a board
On an oak barrel.
With these words, Bondar puts his left foot forward and proceeds to plan an oak plank with a plane (he squeezes his fingers into his fists and, placing his right fist behind the left, imitates the work of a plane).
At the hour of Bondar’s speech, Bondarenka’s children repeat his words and words.
To the words “I collect the planks, I stack the barrels,” Bondar dvichi raises two “planks” from each subposition, and for the next words he adds them one by one.
Chops “whistle” shvidshe. On the same beat, Bondar moves his right forek finger along the left, like a knife, moving forward, ending in this order with his hands in time.
Having “knocked” the butts, everyone pushes their fingers forward and vibrates “tits,” before the barrel begins to tick.
To the words “I’m already finishing the barrel, I’m filling it with water,” Bondar, rhythmically sneezing and emptying himself, successfully fills the barrel with water. In order to roll over, so that there are no branches, he lifts the “barrel” uphill and, having tickled the fork, cheerfully hums: “Don’t leak!”
To the words of the remaining verse, the happy Bondar, holding the side, circles the “barrel” with the Chovgan. If necessary, the remaining verse can be repeated.

Sevchik
Meta: Renew your vocabulary, develop your vocabulary, expand your understanding of folk myths.
Material: images of a pair of warm booties (laces like laces, tongues hanging out).
Activity progress: The teacher proposes to repeat the verse “Who were our great-grandfathers...”, conduct a conversation using the method of activating the words - the name of the profession.
After all, I can assure you that the stench will soon be heard by the child about his other profession, but right away you will need to solve the riddle:
Two brothers - vusatiki,
Both are wearing black shirts.
Stand in a little corner,
The tongues were hanging down.
- How similar are the booties to the brothers - the Vusatiks? (the wiggler asks, demonstrating the little ones).
- Chereviki are ours.
-Who’s up? (Sweden, shevchik).
- About the work of the shevchik mi y rozuchimo gr. Listen to this. (The winner sings, wins all the ruins. Then he assigns the children to the roles, and the game begins.)
Hid gree
Diy individuals - Swedish maister, maister's assistant (three individuals), Shevchiki (all children).
Equipment: chair, toy bowl.
Children (shevchiki) stand by the rose stake, in the middle of the stake there is a small table, on which there is a bowl of water; Beside the column there is a Swedish master, next to the column there are three assistants. The children are sleeping in a group:
A chi bachiv ti, yak shevchik
Should I soak the skin in water?
All the seamstresses are shaking and rhythmically raising and lowering their right hand, squeezed into a fist, to soak their skin in the water, turning them over on their offending sides. Meister just wet the skin in the bowl.
A chi bachiv ti, yak shevchik
Does it pull on the skin?
The shevchiki put their left hand to the right knee, then rub the skin, and with their right hand, clenched into a fist, they rhythmically collapse from the knee to the ground. Meister, stretching the skin, place your left foot on the stole.
A chi bachiv ti, yak shevchik
Are the Cherevichki sewn?
Having squatted the fingers of both hands, there was a fight between the great and fancy fingers, and the dancers, in the rhythm of the song, either brought their hands together in front of them, or spread them apart.
A chi bachiv ti, yak shevchik
Does he hammer in nails?
The dancers fall on the right knee and rhythmically tap the left knee with their right fist or hammer. The master can place his left fist on the back of the chair and tap with his right fist on the left.
A chi bachiv ti, yak shevchik
Does it clear out the nails?
Shevchiki apply the left hand to the chest and, in the rhythm of the song, tumble over it with the right hand, clearing out the “nails.”
A chi bachiv ti, yak shevchik
Clean the Cherevichki?
Shevchiks raise their left leg, bent at the knee, place it on the knee of the left hand and rhythmically rub it with their right hand, like a brush. Meister put his left foot on the table and clean the boots.
A chi bachiv ti, yak shevchik
Do you dance sacredly?

Shevchiki dance. We finished the work, then the holy day has come.
The words will immediately play out like this. In response to the word “oh”, children easily walk on the ground with their left foot, and with their right foot, bent at the knee, they lift up the mountain. At the word “brother” in the same position, they easily jump on the left nose, simultaneously weaving with their left hand below the bent knee right leg ( splasher).
As the dancers dance on their own place, the Swedish master and his assistants dance the splasher, circling one by one around the table.

Paints, or Farbi
Meta: Strengthening children's knowledge about colors.
Hid gree
10-20 children are attacked. Choose “mother”, “god” and “devil”. “God” and “the devil” are going to get away, and “mother” puts paint on the skin so that others don’t smell it.
- You'll get red gold! Ti - blue. Ti - black. You are hot and hot. Ti - Buryakova.
- I will be a red apple! - ask for something.
- Be.
- I will be a golden spikelet.
- Be.
- I will be a blue hustinka...
When all the colors are used, “God” and “Devil” come.
- Ding-ding!
- Who's coming?
- God.
- For what?
- For paint.
- By yak?
- On the green.
- Choose yours.
- Otsya!
- Take it.
Take the paint and apply it thoroughly. I’ll come again.
- Ding-ding!
- Who's coming?
- God.
- For what?
- By paint,
- By yak?
- In chervon.
- Choose yours.
- Otsya!
- No. Without guessing.
Then come “damn.”
- Bom-bom.
- Who's coming?
- The devil with the hump.
- For what?
- For paint.
- By yak?
- In blue.
- Choose yours.
- Otsya.
- Take it.
It takes away the paint, applies it again, and so it nourishes the white paint, but there is no such thing.
Then “god” comes up again:
- Ding-ding!
I wonder why you can put on such colors that you can’t sleep on them: blue, green, red, there’s no such thing. “God” and “the devil” are at odds, and then after all the “mother” is called: clay, zalizna, earthlings, green peas, yellow peas, black mug, golden cherevich, sribna fish, red hustina, white zirka, with podka carrots, rubbish rue... And it’s already impossible to guess who it is. If you choose all the “paints”, take a mortar - a stick, “God” and “the devil” take hold of it, and the “paints” follow them, hugging the front with your hands; “mother” stands there, where there are fewer “colors”, and pulls; Whoever outweighs, wins.

I'm coming, I'm coming
Meta: Find intimacy and cuteness in children.
Props: stick - “throw” for the Vershnik, batizhok.

Vershnik is getting around. For all other children, paint a lot of small circles that can be placed in a circle or distributed in different places in the room at the same distance.
Children, holding hands, walk in one direction or another (or in a series of different zigzags and turns) and sing a song:
I'm going, I'm going, I'm pushing the horse with my father,
I'm riding the black horse of the wind.
Having passed an open field, I got off my horse,
And the horse's horse is dated.
To the song Vershnik, “ride” around the room on a “horse.” At the end of the song, the leader stands on a circle, the participants scatter around the room: each person searches the outside circle to stand on the new one. Whoever finds himself without a circle, take a stick (“horse”) and a bat from the top leader, go to the middle of the room, and the game begins right away.

Children stand by the stake. Omelko is getting around. You are dressed with bril. Divide roles between other children, as they go through the circle to Omelka. Everyone says the words at once:

At our Omelechka
Little seed:
Only here and there,
Ta old, ta old.
That Ivan, that Stepan,
Ta Vasil, ta Panas.
The same lad who is in us.
Those two girls with pigtails,
Those two boys are quiet,
Those two Christs are in us,
There are two dolls in the cart.

Galya walked around the garden...
In the middle of the room or Maidan there are two chairs with backs one to one. There is a flower on one table, and there is a “cage”. The children stand by the stake, one child (Galya) with a hustochka in her hands costs more than a knight.
To the words:
Galya walked around the garden,
I lost a little little bitch,
Walking around the garden, blue,
Hustochka is looking for a little white one
Children follow the stake to the left. Galya walks in the middle of the stake and on the word “ruined”, leaving the hustinka on the table, white kvitka, and she goes to the other side, to the seat of the chair, and finds that she is looking for the hustinka. Then he sits on the stilt.
To the words:
Don't blame me, Galya - kindly,
We knew a little hustinka,
At the little garden, white raspberries,
Under a green thorn leaf
Children walk along the stake to the right and clump. One child, designated as a wiggler, comes up to the chair with a card, takes a khustinka and says:
You, Galya, don’t joke about Kustina, whoever knows, guess!
As Galya, without looking around, recognizes the child’s voice, the smells change places. Gras repeats itself.

Kalina
Children stand by the stake and sing a song: Oh, there is a viburnum on the mountain,
There are raspberries under the mountain,
Oh, there’s viburnum on the mountain,
Oh, there are raspberries under the mountain.
There were children there,
The dance began.
Oh, so, there were kids there,
Oh well, start dancing
.
To the words of the first row, the children splash three times in the valley. At the words “Under the mountain there are raspberries,” the stinks squat, and again splash three times at the valley (in front of the knees). To the words “Oh, so, there is a viburnum on the mountain,” they tap with one foot (trichi), and to the words, “Oh, so, there are raspberries under the mountain,” they wrap their left hand around themselves. To the words “There’s a child there,” the children step four steps forward, changing steps; to the words “Dance began” to squirm back a few kroki, a large number of kolos. To the words “Oh, so, there’s a baby there”, step with the other foot (trichi), and to the words “Oh, so, let’s start dancing,” turn around to the right.

Oh at the quail...
Children stand by the stake, legs slightly apart, arms hanging down in the back of the coat. One child in a row is a quail.
To the words “Oh, the quail’s head hurts,” all the children, together with the trainer, raise their arms up and point their fingers at the side of their heads, and at the words “that head hurts,” they lower their hands to the sides of their heads.
On Spiv:
Here is a bula, here is a quail,
There's a bula here, blue-haired
Children hold hands and walk along the stake to the left, and quail to the right, or work on the spot. The rest of the words are all slurred. To the words:
Oh, the quail's ring hurts,
It hurts so much
All the children are leaning forward. To the word “kolintsya” the stench sticks out in the valleys, and to the word “to hurt” - they stand up. To chant “There was...,” children hold hands and walk along the stake to the right. They mutter the word “blue-winged” when they hear it.
The vikhovatelka continues:
Oh, the quail doesn't have pain,
Don't hurt Kril...
All children raise their arms to the sides and lower their arms to the words “don’t hurt...”. To the words “The birds got up and flew away,” all the children ran around the stake.

Long-nosed Crane
Three or four children at once use the whirling machine, as the noisy sounds of the stench attract. Then they sing: Oh numo, brothers, the hairs are pulling, And whoever can’t reach, pull him by the hands. And pull everything about either y (a, є, і, i, yu, i, e). Whoever hesitates, pull him by the hand. Grass starts right away. Or the round dance is “The Long-Born Crane”, the text of which has a lot of repetition of the words “crane”, “so-and-so” and other words with important sounds. Before the cob, with the help of the doctor, the children rob the Crane. You can also select the medicine with the same sound: Dzhindzhik, dzhindzhik, Dzhindzhirichki. For dzhindzhiku slippers, a jacket, a hat. Good evening, little girl. One, two, three, see you. After which the children stand near the stake, in the middle of which stands the Crane. Children walk around the stake, dance in a round dance and sing a song: The crane, the crane, is hopeful for the woman’s hemp, hemp. The child, inheriting the crane, walks in the middle of the stake on her toes, raising her straight legs high. On the spp: Such a crane, crane, Such a long-nosed one, Such a crane, crane. So-so long-legged, a child eats hemp, stands by the stake, waves his arms like wings, jumps and crouches, eating hemp. At the end of the day, the children hustle, stamp their feet, and show what a long-legged crane is and how it eats hemp (while doing so, they squat). To the words: And I’ll catch that crane, I’ll catch it, Sittya cries both, the children come up, scatter a bunch of crumbs to the center and at the word “catch” they sharply chirp, they catch, and the Crane, waving its wings, “flies” from one part of the stake in another. In response to the words, children will begin to cry the very same things as described earlier. To the words: So that you no longer fly, no longer fly, No more pinching, no pinching Hemp, The crane flies in the stake, and the children, standing on the spot, splash and become dull. At the end of the day, the stench repeats the same actions as before. After the end of the song, the mustache seems to be “squishing”, splashing at the valley and lightly kissing the Crane, wanting to marry him, and the Crane flies from the stake. The folk game can be dedicated to the fun of the game: explain the meaning of the professions discussed in the text of the game, memorize the text of the game, assign roles, perform dialogue, and then play.

Podolyanochka
Children hold hands and stand near the stake. Choose “podolyanochka”. The children are sleeping, and the “polyanochka” is trying to tell all those things they are singing about:
There was a little girl here,
There was a young girl here.
There she stood,
It fell to the ground,
The face didn’t take in,
Bo water is not small.
Oh, get up, get up, little one.
Hug your face like that little bottle.
Get into the barrels, -
For your races,
Jump to heaven
Take your sister.
“Podolyanochka” chooses someone from the stake, and she stands in her place.

Tsurka
All children are divided into 2 teams and stand in two rows, one against the other. The boy’s skin is trimmed in his hands, so he’s called a “tsarkovnik.” In the middle, between the rows, there is a bag, which is called a “surka”. The entire skin of the skin is forced to roll onto the proximal side. Children spend a difficult time fighting around the migrated bags. The team to which the bag approaches is considered to be defeated. At Tsurku, children play all the time.

Panas
Children play outside the room. Blindfold one of them, place a threshold and say:
Panas, Panas!
Don't catch us.
You have a box of pears
You don't steal me.
After this, the children quietly walk around the room, and “Panas”, with his arms outstretched, tries to catch someone. Whoever he catches becomes “Panas”, and the game continues.

Panas - 2
The boys and girls are playing. Behind the banya, everyone becomes “Panas”, his eyes are tied with a hustina, he is taken to the middle of the site and is killed with these words:
- Panase, Panase! What are you standing on?
- On the stone!
- What are you selling?
- Kvass!
- Catch the chickens, not us.
“Panas” begins to catch, and whoever it catches becomes “Panas”

Kutsi-baba
In this country, children are usually playing in winter near the great house. One of the fierce ones should be tied with a thin cloth, placed on the threshold and fed:
- Babo, babo! Where are you standing?
- On the eyes.
- What are you doing?
- I'm in trouble at the police station.
- What about me?
- Damn it!
Then they hit him with their hand, and everyone starts ticking. If “Kutsi-baba” catches anyone, he will tie his eyes. And if not, the game will continue.
- And who the hell is this porridge standing at the police station?
- My.
- And I see.
- And I’m with a cue.
- And I’ll leak.
- And I’ll get married.
- And I’m in the middle of nowhere.
- And I'm behind the head.
They hit again and run away. Since “Kutsi-baba” does not offend anyone, she turns around in her place.
- Babo, babo? Why is it that a piglet walks around the waste dump?
- My.
- When will you kill him?
- Tomorrow.
- What about me?
- Damn it.
Since “Kutsi-baba” doesn’t catch anyone again, end the game.
- Are you, baby, blind?
- Slipa, little darling, slapa.
- What should I give you?
- Give me some boroshentsa for dumplings, little darling.
Although the woman is busy, I want the sand anyway.

Lastivka
Two girls hold hands and stand opposite the other bet, just as they are shaking hands. One couple says:
- I’m baking, baking swallows!
Insha feeds:
- What are you baking? You bake hard, you catch hard!...
The same girl, who began to grow up, grows her hands, and runs along her back. The other two, with their skin covered, try to catch the first ones, not allowing them to connect. Like the couple who started to run first, I’ll get back together again, then she begins to roll again, and the other pair - to catch.

Quail
Children hold hands and shake hands. In the middle there is a girl - “quail”. Everyone is sleeping:
And the quail gives me a headache.
There was a red rose here.
“Quail” hold his head.
And in the quail and my eyes hurt.
There was a quail here, there was a quail,
There was a red rose here.
“Quail” grabs his eyes.
And the soles of the feet hurt when they are quail.
There was a quail here, there was a quail,
There was a red rose here.
“Quail” hits itself on the soles.
And the quail and the tummy hurt.
There was a quail here, there was a quail,
There was a red rose here.
“Quail” is holding on to life.
And the quail and the ears hurt.
There was a quail here, there was a quail,
There was a red rose here.
“Quail” hold on to the ear.
And in the quail the little man died
There was a quail here, there was a quail,
There was a red rose here.
“Quail” is crying.
And in the quail the little man came to life.
There was a quail here, there was a quail,
There was a red rose here.
“Quail” is dancing.
You, quail, don’t fret, don’t fret,
To the elder, to the youngest, bow, bow,
Wherever you want, jump over, just don’t crush the grass.
The “quail” bows to someone from the stake, and that person becomes a “quail”.

Kolo "Tsarivna"
The boys and girls, holding hands, stand at the stake, choosing a “king” and “princess”. The princess is in the stake, the Tsarevich is behind him.
Everyone is sleeping:
Oh, in the little town, princess, princess,
And beyond the town are the Tsar’s sons, the Tsar’s sons.
Come, prince, close, close,
Bow down to the princess, low, low.
Bow down, Tsarenko, even closer, even closer,
Bow down to the princess even lower, even lower.
Give the princess a little collar, a little collar,
Take the princess out of town, out of town.
Circle the princess around the row, around the row
That one placed the princess in a row, in a row.
The “Tsarevich” remembers everything he sings about, takes the “Tsarina” by the hand and puts him in charge of the row. Then they choose another “Tsar” and “Tsarina”.
By the long vine
All the graves stand one by one, in front of the police, on the outskirts of the fathom, their heads and backs are covered. The gravel, who is standing behind, gets angry, cuts across the skin and stands in front of everyone, just like all gravels. Behind him, another, a third...
When this game is played, the mustache constantly pokes forward, and then, in order not to go far, they turn into another back and continue to burn.

Ring
Children sit in a row or a stake. Take a small one, usually a ring. Place this ring near your hand so that the guesser does not know who has this ring. And for whom should the child direct his hands, and the one who distributes the ring, put his hands with the ring in the other hands and, to whomever pleases, he should lower the ring. It’s good to be careful so that the teller doesn’t lose the ring. If the ring is already handed out, the one who guesses should go up to those sitting and say:
I wondered, I wondered
Walked across the field
Let me guess, God.
Take the ring.
We come to the child, who, on his mind, holds a ring in his hands. If he guesses correctly, he sits in his place, and he becomes the guesser.
If the guesser doesn’t guess right, everything is repeated all over again until he guesses right.

Zainko
The girls and boys stand at the stake, holding hands. There is a little prayer in the bush, and everyone asks for it:
Honey, darling, come to us,
Gray, gray, come to us.
Oh yes, mowing, come to us.
Come out of the bushes and stand in the middle of the stake. Then the children sing:
Honey, honey, go to bed,
Little dear, dear, go to bed.
The bunny goes to bed.
Then they sing again:
Zainko, get up,
Sirenky, get up,
Oh yes, get up, get up.
Zainko gets up. Ask Yogo to calm down, puff up, comb your hair... Give everything you need to ask Yogo. Let me say:
Zainko, zainko, hit the trail,
Lilac, sirenky, hit the path.
Oh yes, squinting, the little path.
He dances a little and chooses someone else for the role, and he himself stands in the circle.

Patches
The children are getting ready to play, so they can say:
- Let's get some patches.
Immediately there is a saucer on the shoulder and flows, like:
patch-cue,
Shovkova thread,
I didn’t get it,
I rotted on you!
“Polatany” follows the flow, but not without “polata” and someone else who gets under his hand. Having hit it, it seems: “Patch.”
“Plataniy” is trying to pass the patch to the third....

Movchanka
When the children are about to start screaming, I would like to remember about this game and say quickly:
I'm walking home
On green straw.
On this straw
Sit toad.
Who's writing?
That toad sucks,
You can talk to me
A hundred times,
And for others – any time.
Everything is locked. The presenter is trying to get someone to contact Rozmova. Whoever is the first to speak will warm up.

Buckwheat
All the children stand in pairs, holding hands and holding one leg with their free hand. When they get tired of one nose, they begin to jump in one direction, chanting:
Oh, gook, buckwheat,
Black sheep,
And I'll grind some buckwheat,
I’ll bake some buckwheat.

Dadus and children
Meta: Improve the flow of different directions, embrace the development of spontaneity, fluidity, and creativity.
Rules of the game: if you guess three times and don’t guess, then choose someone else.

Hid gree
Children choose their grandfather. The children are quietly wondering what kind of ruin they will give up in front of their grandfather, so they can tell him “what happened and what did they do?”

The children walk in a line to their grandfather, bow in front of him and bow three times. I'm giving thanks and nourishing:
Tell me, gay, my children,
What chuli y de buli?
The stench speaks in unison:
We wandered through the wide world
And happily they joked about what they were talking about -
near Kiev they slept.
At this point I say:
Tell me, gay, my children,
Why were you bothering there?
Children:
Respect and guess
Our dear grandfather:
Axle like this, axle like that
We all worked there.

After this, everyone inherits the singing roc, and grandfather calls what happened, when he guesses, the children are leaking, and he catches up with them. Spymany becomes a new grandfather and the participants come up with new ideas.

Fox
Meta: develop a sense of kindness, intimacy; improve your skills in running differently.
Head
Holding hands, everyone stands near the stake, and one of the graves (optional) takes on the role of the fox and goes to the middle. The ring moves first to the right, then to the left with the song:
Ha-ha, ha-ha, gi-gi-gi! The fox was angry in the trap. Jocks, geese, blue ones, Hush, laugh, g-g-g-g! The evil fox is in the trap. Oh, oh! Virvate - run away: Now one has terrible anger, Whom to make evil, there is!
If they sing the whole song to the end, then they will scatter on all sides and catch foxes. Whoever he catches becomes a fox, and the game begins from the beginning.

Bula in the forest
Meta: vikhovuvati smіlіstіst, honesty; develop respect and memory. It is important for girls to play.
Head
- Was it in the forest?
- Bula.
- Chopping wood?
- Rubala.
- Did the Vova bash?
- Bachila.
- Were you afraid of anything?
- No!
The one who nourished waves her little one in front of the other’s eyes. To prove that you weren’t afraid, you can’t klipati. And if it sticks, well, you’re afraid. This is the same way to check on a friend.

On the tower
Hid gri. Children choose a watchman-bashtannik as a doctor:
Gop, gop, kavun,
Malaidi - draydi, kavun.
Mitsiki - briki, don’t rush,
Guard our tower!
The tower watchman is on the tower, taking care of his harvest, which is what gave birth to the Kavuns that day. At this hour, children are running around the “tower” behind the bushes, keeping an eye on their grandfather. Having grown tired, she went to sleep in the cold. Children run to the tower with the words:
We steal, we steal kavuni,
Grandfather is not at home,
Having gone for firewood.
- The firewood burned,
Grandfather Vovki z"ili!
The stench is so strong that you tear up the kavuni and eat them. The watchman watches the children and rushes to catch them. Whomever he captures, he becomes a leading guardian.

The variety of such games will provide the opportunity to choose the appropriate option. for every child, taking into account his inclinations and preferences. Ukrainian outdoor games will be a great way to actively spend time and improve your child’s physical fitness.

Fish

This game requires very little equipment - just one rope that needs to be tied to a fence, tree or other stationary object. This rope will be the “fishing rod” with which the “fish” is caught. One of the players is chosen as the “bait”; he must hold on to the free edge of the rope and use it to catch the “fish”, that is, the other players. The remaining participants must “take the bait,” that is, touch the driver, but not allow him to catch them. When one of the players is caught, he becomes "bait" and the game continues. This fun is perfect for any time of year and can be played both indoors and outdoors.

Hidden bell

This game is also good for any time of year and any place. It requires a small bell, which the participants, standing in a circle or in a line, will pass to each other. It is important to convey the bell so that it does not ring. The driver must determine who has the bell. The one who gave himself away by ringing becomes the driver. This fun is great develops observation and reaction speed.

Jumping sparrows

This fun game is best played on a platform on which you need to draw a circle about 6-8 meters in diameter. The participants of the game stand behind him, they play the role of “sparrows”. The leader sits in a circle, his task is to prevent the “sparrows” from collecting “grains”, that is, to prevent them from entering the circle. “Sparrows”, jumping on one leg (you can also hold the bent leg with your hand or play in pairs) try to jump into the circle. The central player “pecks” them (touches them with his hand), the one touched by the driver leaves the game. The goal of the “sparrows” is to stay in the circle as long as possible. The driver can be changed by choosing the fastest and most dexterous of the children.

Bell

This game is convenient because a whole group in a kindergarten (20-30 people) can play it. One of the participants is selected by the “tongue” of the bell, the others form the bell itself: they join hands and stand in a circle. Children in a circle move clockwise or counterclockwise, and the “tongue” must break out of the circle, that is, separate the players’ hands. He has three attempts in total. As soon as the driver breaks out of the circle, he must run to a flag or other conventional mark at a distance of about 50 m. While he is running, the rest of the participants must try to catch up with him and touch him. The one who does this last becomes the driver. This fun will perfectly replace physical education classes. It perfectly develops the ability to work in a team (not to let the driver out of the circle), and also develops the will to win.

Twig

This original game can be played in large groups. The only equipment needed for this fun is a branch of willow or other tree. The participants in this game form a loose circle, they hold their hands behind their backs and pass a twig to each other. In the center of this circle is the one who drives. His task is to find a twig and snatch it. When the driver manages to grab the twig, the one from whom he took it stands in a circle, and the game begins again. With the help of this game you can develop observation skills, speed of reaction and endurance.

Ukrainian folk games are perfect for fun at different times of the year, they do not require complex equipment and are very entertaining for children. Children can play them without adult supervision, organizing into teams and choosing their own driver.

Ukrainian folk games for preschoolers

Witch

Before the game starts, a sorcerer is chosen. To do this, one of the players extends his right hand in front of him, palm down, and the others place one index finger under it. On the command “One, two, three!” or at the end of the counting, everyone withdraws their fingers, and the player with an outstretched hand needs to grab someone’s finger. The one whose finger is thus captured three times becomes a sorcerer. Everyone runs away, and the sorcerer tries to catch up with someone and touch him with his hand. The caught person freezes, spreading his arms to the sides. Other players can disenchant it by touching it with their hand. However, the sorcerer watches his victim, and as soon as someone removes the spell, he tries to cast them again with a second blow. In addition, he tries to bewitch those who dare to help out his comrade.

Rules of the game. The enchanted player remains in place. The person who is bewitched three times becomes a sorcerer himself, and his predecessor joins those escaping.

Stoves

To play you need a small rubber ball and an open area. A series of holes called stoves are dug in the ground on the same line not far from each other (if the soil is soft, the holes can be squeezed out with a heel or a ball). The stoves are made shallow so that a ball can roll over them. The number of stoves corresponds to the number of players.

Players stand on both sides of the line of stoves, each near their own stove. The end players stand facing each other and they start the game.

The end player rolls the ball across the stoves. If the ball does not remain in any of the holes, then the second outer player rolls it back. When the ball gets stuck in someone’s stove, all the participants in the game quickly run away in different directions, and the one in whose stove the ball was, throws it at one of the participants in the game, the one who is knocked out catches the ball and, in turn, hits the other player with it. In this case, you should throw from the place where the ball overtook the player. This continues until someone misses. Then everyone returns to their stoves. The one who missed exchanges stoves with one of the last players and starts the game from the beginning.

For the second miss, a line is drawn near the mazuna stove, and for the third miss, a nest is made and a stick is planted. For each further mistake, a stick is stuck near the stove. When someone has five chickens, they are hidden, and the owner of the hen must find them and distribute them to the rest of the players, that is, catch them and touch them with a stick. All other players run away from the quotation. The game starts over.

Rules of the game. The number of players is from five to seven. Everyone has their own stove, near which mistakes are noted. The ball must be thrown from a place and only at the feet. At the end of the game, the owner of the stick fires until he doesn’t have a single stick left.

Hlibchik

Everyone who wants to play, holding hands, stands in pairs (pair by pair) at some distance from the player who does not have a pair. It is called hlibchik (bread).

– I'm baking, a little bakery і bang! (He shouts.)

– And in And are you baking? (The back couple asks.)

– IN And ne h y!

– A flow ?

– I'll marvel !

With these words, the two back players run in opposite directions with the intention of joining up and standing in front of the loafer. And he tries to catch one of them before they hold hands. If he succeeds, he and the person caught make a new pair, which becomes the first, and the player left without a pair turns out to be the breadwinner. The game is repeated in the same order.

Rules of the game. The last pair can run only after the end of the roll call.

Round And th khreschik

The game begins with one of the children shouting:

- Chur, in the "Round Horsetail" grat And !

To the mountains і are worth And , let's catch wouldn't at wat And !

Two pairs stand opposite each other at a distance of twenty steps and invite the third pair to stand in the middle. The players of the extreme pairs, who stand one against the other, try, bypassing the middle ones, to join into new pairs. One of the pair runs to the right, and the other to the left. The middle pair players obstruct them and catch the runners. If the player of the middle pair catches one of those running across from his side, the partner of the caught one and the partner of the catcher rush to their aid. The one who comes running first, together with his partner, becomes the extreme pair, and the other two players stand in the middle. When the run is completed successfully, the game continues.

Rules of the game. Six people take part in the game. Children from middle preschool age can play it.

The fox and the hare

Children stand in pairs at different ends of the playground, facing each other, holding hands. One is chosen as a hare, the other as a fox. The hare hides from the fox, hurries towards some pair and stands with his back to one of the players. He becomes a hare and runs away, and in the same way wants to stand in the middle of the other pair. Meanwhile, the fox is trying to catch him. The one who is caught becomes a fox, and the fox becomes a hare, and the game continues.

The task of the former is to throw the ball with each other, hit their opponents and knock them out of the game. In this case, you need to throw so that the ball, without hitting the target, can be caught by a partner, and does not fly away to nowhere every time.

If two or three people are playing, then each occupies one square and when the ball hits an unoccupied square, a point will be awarded to the one who sent the ball there.
If there are 8 players, then each square is occupied by two people and played in teams.
If four players play, then each occupies a square and can play two on two or each for himself. When playing in pairs, players can pass and help each other.
Before the start of the game, they agree on the maximum number of points and the players occupy a square. One of the players starts the game by throwing the ball into the center of the circle so that it bounces onto one of the four square fields. Next, the player on whose field the ball hit must kick it to another field, after the ball touches the ground once. If the ball touches the ground twice, the player receives one point and the players move one square clockwise or the player is out of the game. The player who receives a point starts the game over again, throwing the ball across the circle, and if he misses three times, he gets another point.
