Outdoor games for schoolchildren. Story-based outdoor games for primary schoolchildren

Education of physical abilities should be aimed at developing physical qualities (strength, agility, endurance, flexibility, speed) in children of primary school age. One of the means of education is outdoor games. They must be used in accordance with certain rules: change the speed, pace and spatial boundaries of movements; complicate the playing conditions.

After analyzing literary sources, we selected outdoor games for primary schoolchildren and systematized them according to sections of the school curriculum. We offer outdoor games for the development of physical qualities, which can be included in physical education lessons in primary school.

"Cosmonauts"

Purpose of the game: helps improve orientation in running with changes in direction and the ability to maintain balance after a sudden stop, develops agility, reaction speed, and quick wits.

Preparation: 4-6 triangles are drawn along the edges of the site - “rocket launch sites”. Inside each of them they draw circles - “rockets”, but always several circles less than the ones playing. All the guys stand in a circle in the center of the site.

Inventory: not required.

Progress of the game:

At the leader’s signal, the children walk in a circle, holding hands, and say in chorus:

Fast rockets await us for walking around the planets,

We’ll fly whichever one we want!

But there is one secret in the game: there is no room for latecomers!

After these words, everyone runs to the “rocket launch sites” and takes their places in the “rocket”. The one who did not have time to take a place goes to the center of the site. After this, the game is repeated.

You can start running only after the word “no”. There cannot be two “cosmonauts” in a “rocket”, and the right to stay in it is given to the one who first stood inside the circle.

"Crucian carp and pike"

Goal: promotes the development of dexterity, speed, orientation, courage, and collectivism.

Preparation: two lines are drawn on opposite sides of the site - this is the “house of crucian carp”. The driver - "pike" - stands in the middle of the court, the rest of the players - "crucian carp" - are located in one of the "houses".

Inventory: not required.

Progress of the game:

At the command of the leader, the “crucian carp” begin to run to the opposite “house”. The "pike" is trying to catch them. The stained ones move aside, and then, when there are 5-6 of them, they join hands, depicting a net. The “pike” stands behind the “net”. Now, when running, the crucian carp must run through the net. Those caught later form a circle - a “basket”, and then a “top” - two lines facing each other. The last one to be caught wins.

1. You are allowed to run across only on command.
2. “Crucian carp” are required to run through all the “nets” of fishermen.
3. The players forming the “net” should not interfere with the passing crucian carp.
4. The pike cannot run into the “net” (players can catch it).

Third wheel

Goal: development of coordination of movements, attentiveness, speed qualities, improvement of the ability to navigate the terrain.

Preparation: players line up in pairs inside the court. The distance between pairs is 2-3 meters. The driver and one of the players (the runner) are located behind the line.

Inventory: not required.

Progress of the game:

At the leader’s signal, the driver tries to disgrace the runner, and the runner can stand in front of one of the pairs, then the last player of the pair becomes the “third wheel” and runs away from the driver. If the driver manages to stain the player, then they change roles.

The runner can take his place in the pair only if he has run a full circle. Crossing the circle line is not allowed. You can only spot while running.

"Head and Tail"

Goal: development of speed qualities, flexibility, coordination of movements; nurturing a sense of collectivism.

Preparation: all participants in the game (10-20 people) line up in a column one at a time. Each player grabs the belt of the previous one with his hands. The first player is the "head" and the last player is the "tail".

Inventory: not required.

Progress of the game:

At the teacher’s signal, the “head” tries to catch up with the “tail”. After a certain time, players (teams) change places.

If the “head” manages to catch up with the “tail” within the agreed time, then both players move to the middle of the chain, but if not, then only the “head” moves.

The team that manages to catch up with the other team the most times wins. Participants can move in various predetermined ways, as long as they do not break the chain.

"Sharp on target"

Goal: helps improve throwing skills, develops accuracy and dexterity of movements, teaches discipline and collective action.

Preparation: draw two parallel lines at a distance of 12 - 15 m. In the center of the site, 10 towns, painted in two colors (5 each), are placed interspersed in one row. Each team is assigned towns of a certain color. The players are divided into two teams and placed on opposite sides of the court. The players of one of the teams (by lot) are given a small ball.

Inventory: 10 small towns, small balls according to the number of players.

Progress of the game:

At the leader’s signal, the players of one team “in one gulp” throw the balls into the towns. Each knocked down town of the throwing team is moved one step further. The downed town of the other team moves one step closer.

After that, the other team throws. The order changes four times.

1. Knocked down towns are placed in a new place after all the balls have been thrown.
2. Players collect the balls after the towns have been installed.
3. The team that manages to move its towns further wins.

Hunters and ducks

Purpose of the game: to learn how to pass the ball in attack, strengthen the skills of catching the ball and passing methods. Helps develop dexterity, speed of reaction, intelligence, and collectivism.

Equipment: volleyball ball (1-2 pcs.).

Progress of the game:

At the leader’s signal, the “hunters” begin to knock the “ducks” out of the circle with the ball. Each “hunter” can throw the ball himself or pass it to a teammate to throw. The “Ducks”, running inside the circle, escape from the ball by dodging and jumping. The knocked-out duck leaves the circle. The game continues until all the “ducks” are knocked out. After this, the players change roles.

1. It is prohibited to step inside the circle when throwing the ball, otherwise the throw does not count.
2. “Ducks” do not have the right to leave the circle; Anyone who breaks this rule is eliminated from the game.

4. Imprecise landings are also prohibited. For each mistake the player is punished with a penalty point. The team that manages to finish the relay faster than others and makes fewer mistakes than the other wins.

Children love to run, jump, and compete.

Outdoor games develop not only dexterity, endurance, and speed of reaction, but also many of the games we offer develop attention, logical thinking, and the ability to quickly switch.

Swan geese

The game develops your child's reaction and endurance.

On one side of the site there is a line separating the “goose barn”. In the middle of the site there are 4 benches, forming a road 2 - 3 meters wide. On the other side of the site there are 2 benches - this is a “mountain”. All players are in the “goose house” - “geese”. Behind the mountain there is a circle “lair”, in which 2 “wolves” are located.

At the signal - “Geese-swans, in the field”, the “geese” go to the “field” and walk there. At the signal “Geese-swans go home, the wolf is behind the distant mountain,” the “geese” run to the benches in the “goose barn.” “Wolves” run out from behind the “mountain” and catch up with the “geese.”

The players who are never caught win.

“The Bear” growls: “I’m going out to fish!” - and runs to catch the “cubs”. Having caught one “bear cub”, he takes it to the ice floe, then catches another.

Two caught “bear cubs” join hands and begin to catch the rest of the players. Having caught someone, two “bear cubs” join their free hands so that the caught one ends up between their hands, and shout: “Bear, help!”

The “bear” runs up, greases the caught one and takes him to the ice floe.

The next two caught also join hands and catch the rest of the “cubs”.

When all the cubs are caught, the game ends.

The last player caught wins and becomes the “polar bear”.

Fighting cocks

A circle with a diameter of 2 m is drawn. Two teams stand in ranks opposite each other. Captains are chosen and they send one of their players into the circle. Each of them bends one leg, puts his hands behind his back, and at a signal, the participants in the fight begin to push each other out of the circle with their shoulders and torsos, trying not to stand on the other leg. You also cannot remove your hands from your back. The game continues until everyone has played the role of roosters, the captains fighting last. The team with the most winners wins. The match ends in a draw if both players (in a pair) are outside the circle.

You can also play while sitting. The belt (braid) is tied with a ring. The players squat down and put the ring on their knees so that their legs cannot be straightened. Hands are placed under the knees. Jumping in this position on their toes, the players try to push each other with their shoulders. The one who does not maintain balance loses.

The game must take place within a small area, beyond the boundaries of which you cannot go.

Hunters and foxes

The court, up to the size of a basketball court, is limited by lines. The players choose a driver, the “hunter,” and they give him a small ball. All other players are “foxes”.

The “Hunter” goes to the middle of the site, and the “Foxes” gather around him. The “hunter” throws the ball up 2 times and catches it, after the third throw the “foxes” scatter in different directions. The “hunter”, having caught the ball, throws it at one of the “foxes”. Each “fox” that is born becomes his assistant, which means that the number of “foxes” will decrease.

As soon as the “hunter” has a first assistant, the “foxes” can pick up the ball thrown at them and throw them among themselves so that the “hunter” and the assistant do not take possession of it. Now the drivers are trying to intercept the ball in order to continue to kill the “foxes”.

The game continues until all the “foxes” are caught, except one. This “fox”, who has proven herself to be the most dexterous, becomes the new “hunter”. The game repeats itself.

During the game, it is important to ensure that the “foxes” do not run beyond the boundaries of the court. Otherwise, each of them is considered salted and becomes an assistant to the “hunter”. Before starting the game, you can agree that you can’t shoot, for example, in the head, chest, etc.

Hunters and ducks

One team sits in a circle with a diameter of 15-20 m. Players from the other team are randomly placed in the middle of the circle. The “hunters” try to hit the “ducks” with the ball. The upset players leave the circle. After a certain time or when all the players inside the circle are knocked out, the teams switch roles. The team that eliminates more opponents or does it first wins.

Silent

Before the game starts, all players say:

Firstborns, firstborns,

Little pigeons were flying

On fresh dew,

In someone else's lane,

There are cups, nuts,

Honey, sugar -

When the last word is said, everyone must be silent. The presenter tries to make the players laugh with movements, funny words and nursery rhymes, and comic poems. If someone laughs or says one word, he gives the presenter a forfeit. At the end of the game, the guys redeem their forfeits: at the request of the players, they sing songs, read poetry, dance, and perform interesting movements. You can play a forfeit immediately after you have committed a fine.

Kite

The players choose “kite” and “hen”, the rest - “chickens”. The “kite” digs a hole, and the “hen and chicks” walk around him and chant the words:

I walk around the kite,

I carry three pieces of money.

For a pretty penny

According to my owl.

“Kite” digs the ground, walks around the hole, stands up, flaps its wings, squats, “Hen with chicks” stops, asks the kite:

- 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.

- Why do you need a needle?

- Sew a bag.

- Why the 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. If you don’t know how, then catch them.

The “kite” tries to catch the “chickens”, the “hen” protects them, drives the “kite”: “Shi, shi, villain!” The caught “chicken” leaves the game, and the “kite” continues to catch the next ones. The game ends when several "chickens" are caught.

Swan geese

On one side of the site a line is drawn separating the “goose barn”, and on the other side a line is drawn separating the “pasture”. They choose a “shepherd” and a “wolf”. The remaining players are “geese” and “swans”; they stand in a row in the “gooseneck”. "Wolf" is located in the middle of the site. The “shepherd” standing to the side of the “geese” says:

Geese-swans, walk,

No wolf in sight yet!

“Geese-swans” fly to the “pasture”, imitating birds, and walk there. The “Shepherd” speaks loudly:

Geese-swans, go home,

The gray wolf is behind the mountain!

Geese (ask). What is he doing there?

Shepherd. The geese are nipping!

Geese. Which ones?

Shepherd. Gray and white!

After the last words, the “geese” run to the “goose barn.” And the “wolf” catches them (up to the “goose line”).

Those caught are counted and sent to the “wolf’s den”, where they remain until he is replaced. They play with one “wolf” 2-3 times. Then a new “wolf” and “shepherd” are selected from those not caught. In conclusion, the best “geese” (who have never been caught) and the best “wolf” (who caught the most “geese”) are celebrated,

By the bear in the forest

One driver is selected - the “bear”, he stands in the corner of the site. The rest of the players are children; they are located on the other side of the site in their “home”. The space between the “den” and the “house” of the children is the “pine forest.” Children go into the forest for “mushrooms” and “berries”, gradually approaching the “bear”. The children chant:

By the bear in the forest

I take mushrooms and berries.

And the bear is sitting

And he growls at us!

After the last words, the “bear”, pretending to be asleep, stretches and runs towards the children, and they scatter in different directions, trying not to get caught by the “bear” and quickly run “home”. The "Bear" tries to catch them. Whoever the “bear” catches changes roles with him. If he fails to catch anyone and all the children manage to hide in the house, the “bear” returns to the “den” and continues to lead.

Kittens and puppies

Children are divided into two subgroups - kittens and puppies. “Kittens” are located near the gymnastics wall, “puppies” are on the other side of the site, in houses behind the gymnastic benches. The teacher invites the first group of children-kittens to run around easily and gently. To the words of the teacher: “Puppies!” - the second group of children climbs over the benches and runs after the “kittens” barking: “av-av-av.” “Kittens,” meowing, quickly climb onto the gymnastics wall. The “puppies” return to their houses. After 2-3 repetitions, the children change roles and the game is repeated.

Homeless hare

The hare guys make houses out of jump ropes folded into a ring. At the teacher’s signal, the “hares” run out of the houses, jump after each other, hopping on one leg. The “hares” are in a hurry to occupy the house, but one house is missing. He becomes a homeless "hare". Now he acts as a presenter, saying:

The hares ran into the field,

We galloped across the clearing...

Children run out and frolic on the playground. Game continues.

Fox in the hen house

Gymnastic benches are placed in a square - this is a perch. There are children standing on the benches - these are chickens. A “fox” is running around inside the square (chicken coop). The “chickens” either jump off the “perch” and run around the “chicken coop”, or climb onto it. The “fox” tries to catch the “chicken”, which has at least one foot touching the ground. After the “fox” catches 3-5 “chickens”, a new “fox” is appointed from among the most dexterous ones. The game is repeated 4-5 times.

Mail

The game begins with a roll call between the driver and the players:

- Ding, ding, ding!

- Who's there?

- Where?

- From the city...

- What are they doing in the city?

The driver can say that in the city they are dancing, singing, jumping, etc. All players must do what the driver said. And the one who performs the task poorly gives away a forfeit. The game ends as soon as the driver collects 5 forfeits. Players whose forfeits are from the driver must redeem them. The driver comes up with interesting tasks for them: the guys read poetry, tell funny stories, remember riddles, imitate the movements of animals. Then a new driver is chosen.

Bees and swallow

The players - bees - fly around the clearing and sing:

The bees are flying

The honey is being collected!

Zoom-zoom-zoom!

“Swallow” sits in its “nest” and listens to their song. 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 caught player becomes a “swallow”. The game repeats itself.

Sparrows and cat

All players pretend to be sparrows and are behind the circle. The leading “cat” stands in the middle of the circle. The “sparrows” either jump into the circle or jump out of it. They collect grains. 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.

Mouse and two cats

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, the “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 “cats” and the “mouse” to play.

Woodpecker

The guys gather on the site, 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 everyone says the words together:

- A woodpecker walks by the granary,

Looking for a grain of wheat.

The woodpecker answers:

- I'm not bored alone,

I'll take whoever I want.

With these words, he quickly takes one of the players by the hand and stands in a circle. The one left without a pair stands in the middle of the circle, he is a “woodpecker”. The game repeats itself.

Fox and birds

The guys (birds) are on benches, logs, stumps (nests). In the corner of the site there is a “fox” hole. Birds fly out to peck harmful insects. On the signal: “Fox!” - all the “birds” fly to their “nests”. The “Fox” runs out of the “hole” and tries to catch the “birds”. She takes those caught to her “hole”. After two repetitions, a new “fox” is chosen.

Astronauts

Before playing this game, you can have a short conversation with the guys about space exploration, recall the names of some planets, and tell about them.

To play the game, you need to draw the contours of rockets in different corners of the site in advance and mark 3, 4, 5 seats for passengers in each contour, but in such a way that there are not enough seats in the rockets for several participants in the game. You can put signs near the rockets with the inscription: “Earth - Moon - Earth”, “Earth - Mars - Earth”, “Earth - Neptune - Earth”, “Earth - Venus - Earth”, “Earth - Saturn - Earth”.

Holding hands, the children walk in a circle and say:

Fast rockets are waiting for us

For walks on the planets.

Whatever we want

Let's fly to this one!

But there is one secret in the game:

There is no room for latecomers!

As soon as the last word is said, the leader blows the whistle and all the guys run away, trying to take any free space on the rockets (you cannot push those who are already standing).

Latecomers gather in the center of the circle.

Hunter and hares

There are hoops lying around the hall in different orders - these are the houses of the “hares”. A leader is selected who will be the “hunter”. At the teacher’s signal: “It’s calm in the forest!” — the guys jump in different directions around the hall. On the signal: “Hunter!” - children must quickly jump to the “houses”.

Don't stay on the floor

The guys stand in a circle and use a rhyme to choose a leader. After choosing a driver, all the guys run away. The driver catches only those children who are on the floor; if the child is on any elevation, then he cannot be caught. The one who is caught leaves the game. The game continues until there is only one child left.

Empty place

The guys stand in a circle and choose a leader with a counting rhyme. The driver follows the circle of children and says the words:

I walk around the house

And I look out the windows,

I'll go to one

And I'll knock softly.

Knocks on the back of any child:

- Knock-Knock.

The child answers:

- Who's there?

The driver says: “I am Vova, shall we run to the race?”

They stand with their backs to each other and after counting “One, two, three!” — they run in a circle in different directions and try to quickly occupy an empty space. Whoever comes running second is the driver.

Outdoor games for primary schoolchildren

In the warm season, children of primary school age will enjoy active games in the fresh air. As a rule, such games do not require any special equipment or inventory. They are easily accessible almost anywhere, be it a clearing in the forest, or just a small area in the yard. Having decided to go out into nature with your children, you will always be able to make the trip interesting and exciting for them. When the children are a little tired, you can arrange a feast for them right on the grass. Excellent appetite will be guaranteed!

We bring to your attention a description of some very simple, but very entertaining games for your children. If you yourself take part in them, then a good mood and fun for the whole company are guaranteed.

Zhmurki

Any number of children can take part in the game, but not less than three. It is advisable to have some space so that you can move without bumping into obstacles. The game begins with choosing a driver. You can use a counting rhyme or simply cast lots. The “driver” is blindfolded and taken to the middle of the site, then turned several times around its own axis. Then you can read a poem or simply run away on command. The blind man's buff's task is to catch the player.

Rules of the game:

When a blind man's buff approaches a dangerous object, everyone shouts “fire” to avoid injury. But this word cannot be used to divert the attention of the blind man's buff from a player who cannot escape.

You cannot run far (it is advisable to discuss the boundaries of the area for the game in advance) and hide behind some objects.

The blind man's buff must recognize the caught player without removing the bandage.

Tag or tag

Any number of players take part in the game, but not less than 3. For the game, it is desirable to have a platform, along the edges of which 2 circles are drawn - houses. First, the driver is selected - tag or tag. Then all the players scatter around the court, and the tag catches them.

Rules of the game:

The player whose hand touched the tag changes places with him.

If a player stands with both feet on some object, then he is “saved” from the tag.

If the player jumped on two legs, then he is safe; the driver cannot stain him.

The player is saved from the tag if he runs into the circle-house.

Big ball

To play, you need a fairly flat area (a clearing will do) and a large ball. Preferably at least 5 players.

All players, holding hands, stand in a circle, and the driver is inside the circle with the ball. His task is to roll the ball outside the circle with his feet.

The one between whose legs the ball slipped becomes the driver, only this time behind the circle. All players turn their backs to the center of the circle, and the driver tries to roll the ball into the circle. Then everything repeats.

During the entire game, it is forbidden to pick up the ball and it should not rise above the knees of the players.

Hand racing

An even number of children take part in the game. They are divided into teams of 2 people. One player grabs the second team member's legs. This way they must reach the finish line. Halfway through the path, players change places and continue moving forward. The team that reaches the finish line first wins.

Any number of players can participate in the game. First, the driver is selected. He stands facing the wall or simply with his back to the other players, who are located 10-15 steps behind him. The “driver” utters the phrase “If you drive more quietly, you will go further” and quickly turns around, carefully looking at the players. Players can only move while the driver says a phrase. When he turns, everyone must be completely still. If the player moves even a little or even just smiles, he is eliminated from the game. The winner is the one who can get close to the driver and touch him with his hand when he turns away.

Hares in the garden

At least 3 people take part in the game. The game requires a platform on which two circles are drawn, one inside the other. The diameter of the outer circle can be 3-4 m, and the inner one – 1-2 m. The driver-“guard” is in the inner circle (vegetable garden), the rest of the players are “hares” in the outer one. Hares jump on two legs - first into the garden, then back. At the signal from the leader, the watchman catches the hares that are in the garden, catching up with them within the outer circle. Those whom the guard insults are eliminated from the game. When all the hares have been caught, a new guard is chosen and the game begins again.

Outdoor games for preschoolers and junior schoolchildren

Outdoor games and fun for younger children have no equal. For kids, movement is not only life, but also happiness. Give them the joy of movement more often.

Fisherman and fish

A large circle is drawn on the floor or platform. One of the players - the fisherman - is in the center of the circle, he squats down. The rest of the players, the fish, circle around the circle and say in unison: “Fisherman, fisherman, catch us on a hook.”

At the last word, the fisherman jumps up, runs out of the circle and begins to chase the fish, which scatter throughout the area. The one who is caught becomes a fisherman and goes to the center of the circle.

Owl

The guys stand in a circle. One of the players goes to the middle of the circle, he will portray an owl, and all the others will represent bugs, butterflies, and birds. At the command of the presenter: “The day comes - everything comes to life!” - kids run in circles. The owl is “sleeping” at this time, that is, it stands in the middle of the circle, eyes closed, one leg bent under itself. When the leader commands: “Night is coming, everything freezes!”, the players stop and stand motionless, hiding, and at that moment the owl runs out to hunt. She looks out for those who are moving or laughing, and takes the guilty ones into her circle. They become owls, and when the game is repeated, they all “fly out” to hunt together.

Hunters

The players scatter around the court. Three hunters stand in different places, each holding a small ball. At the manager’s signal: “Stop!” - all the players stop, and the hunters aim the ball at one of them. The “killed” replace the hunters. The players have the right to dodge the ball, but must not move from their place. If the player after the command “Stop!” left his place, he replaces the hunter.

Seine

All players are fish, except two fishermen. Fishermen holding hands run after the fish. They try to surround it, closing their hands around the fish. Gradually, a whole chain is formed from the caught fish - a “net”. Now the fish are caught with a seine. The last two players not caught are the winners; when the game is repeated, they are the fishermen.

Kolobok

Children, squatting, will sit in a circle. In the center of the circle is the driver - the “fox”. The players roll the ball - the “bun” to each other so that it moves away from the “fox”. The driver is replaced by the player who rolls the bun so that the “fox” can catch it.

Watch out, Pinocchio!

One of the players has a cap on his head. He is Pinocchio. The driver tries to catch up and tarnish the one who is running with the cap. However, this is not so easy to do: the players pass the cap to each other as they run. When the driver stains Pinocchio, they... change roles.

Jumping Sparrows

A circle is drawn on the floor or playground of such a size that all players can freely fit around its circumference. One of the players is the “cat”, he is placed in the center of the circle, the rest of the players - the “sparrows” - stand behind the circle at the very line.

At the leader’s signal, the “little sparrows” begin to jump inside the circle and jump out of it, and the “cat” tries to catch one of them at the moment when he is inside the circle. The one who is caught becomes a “cat”, and the “cat” becomes a “sparrow”. The game is repeated again.

Burners

The participants of the game stand in pairs at the back of each other's heads. The driver stands in front of all the couples and says loudly:

Burn, burn clearly

So that it doesn't go out.

Look at the sky:

Birds are flying

The bells are ringing.

One, two, three, last pair, run!

After the last word “run”, the players of the last pair run forward (each on their side) to the designated place, and the driver tries to delay one of the runners with a touch of his hand until the players meet. The one who was detained stands next to the driver in front of the first pair, and the second becomes the driver. Game continues.

Cockerels

The players (one from each team) enter a circle with a diameter of 3 meters and take the starting position for the fight, crouching on two legs or standing on one (the right hand holds the left leg, and the left arm is bent in front and pressed to the body or vice versa). Objective: push the enemy out of the circle.

The most dexterous is you!

Draw two circles on the ground with a diameter of up to a meter. The circles are located nearby. Place a puck, cube, ball, town in the center of the circle. Two or two teams of three to four people can play. At the leader’s signal, the children must use a toy sword, saber, or gymnastic stick to knock out this object (objects) from the “enemy’s” circle, protecting their own. The guys seem to be fighting with swords and sabers. The winner is the one or those who, having knocked out the object to the opponents, did not allow it to their own.

Throw it in the ring

The ring is hung in a room or in the schoolyard at a height of approximately 1.5 meters. And each participant is given a stick up to 50 centimeters long. You need to run from a distance of 10-15 steps to the ring, throw the stick so that it passes through it, and catch it again.

If the player completes the task, he wins two points; if he doesn’t have time to catch the stick and it falls to the floor - one point, but if he throws in such a way that he misses, the throw is simply not counted. The game lasts five minutes. Whoever scored the most points won.

Don't fall for the bait

To play, you need a rope 2-3 meters long with a weight tied at the end - a bag of sand.

The players form a circle, in the center of which stands the driver with a rope in his hands. He begins to spin it so that it rotates just above the ground. The guys jump over the rope. The driver gradually raises the plane of rotation of the rope higher and higher until one of the participants “falls for the bait,” that is, fails to jump over the rotating rope. The one who gets caught drives. Game continues.
