Active games in the fresh air they saturate the child's body with oxygen, and this improves both muscle work and brain activity. You can play on the playground in the yard, as well as in parks, recreation areas. So that children do not get tired quickly, it is better to alternate outdoor games with more calm ones.

1. Touch the ball

Children become in a circle, their task is to pass the ball on outstretched arms so that the driver, who is behind the circle, does not get the ball. Whoever has the ball “stained” in his hands becomes the driver instead. According to the rule: you cannot throw the ball to each other, and if someone drops the ball, then he is out of the game.

2. Train

Children stand behind each other, holding on to the one in front of them. At the head of the locomotive, the leader is the driver who leads him along his route. Children should follow the leader, repeat his movements. If he bounces, then the guys behind him should bounce one after the other, too, if he turns around the tree, then the “locomotive” follows him. According to the rule: children should not unhook from each other, while the leader is not allowed to run fast.

3. Bees

The kids stand in a line, in front of them, 15-20 meters away, a line is drawn with chalk. This is a bee house. Two or three people (bees) stand behind the line and, at the command of the leader, they begin to slowly move towards the guys with the words: “We went out to the forest lawn, raising our legs higher, through bushes and bumps, through branches and stumps. Look - the hollow of a tall Christmas tree. Angry bees fly out! The bees start spinning. At this time, the players say the words: “We are not afraid of a swarm of bees, let's run home now” and try to run behind the line that is behind the bees. The same ones are trying to catch the guys, "sting". Whoever was "stung" by a bee, in the next horse becomes instead of her.

4. To the forest for berries

The leader is chosen - a bear. He "sleeps" in a designated place - a lair. Children go out of the house (draw a circle) into the forest for berries (any light objects can be used instead of berries). They say: The bear has mushrooms in the forest, I take berries. The bear got cold, froze on the stove. At a sign from the leader, the bear suddenly wakes up and rushes to catch the children in the clearing. The winner is not only the one who ran away from the bear, but also brought home more berries. Whoever the driver caught first takes his place in the next horse.

5. Cat and mouse

Children stand in a circle, hold hands, in the center is a “mouse”. Behind the circle at a short distance is a "cat". The hands of the children are raised up, when the cat approaches, the hands fall - the gate closes. If the cat tries to get through the bottom, then the children squat, preventing the cat from climbing into the circle. If she manages to run through the barrier, the opposite side quickly releases the mouse from the circle, then closing the passage for the cat. This game is about attention and quick reaction.

6. Sparrows

A circle is outlined - with a diameter of 3-4 m, inside it is a driver - a "falcon". The rest of the children are "sparrows". Their task is to "peck the grains" that are inside the circle. So they jump in and out of the circle in such a way that the falcon does not spot them. Whom the falcon touches becomes the leader in the next round.

7. You go quieter, you will continue

Two lines are drawn at a distance of about 5 m. The leader is selected. At one line, the player becomes, at the second - the driver with his back to the player. The driver says: “You drive more quietly, you will continue. Stop" and turns around. At this time, the player moving in his direction must stop. If he did not have time to "freeze", then he becomes instead of the driver. Several people can take part in the game.

8. Lions and zebras

A place is chosen - the steppe, where zebras graze, the lines indicate the river. Children are zebras. The leader is selected - a lion, which stands on a hill (its lair) and says: “A lion went hunting, his anger is very terrible! One, two, three, start the game. The lion tries to catch "prey", the zebras run away. They can "jump" across the river, there is a safe place where the lion can't reach them. If a lion has caught a zebra, he takes it to his lair.

9. "The King loves"

The leader is chosen - the king. A line is drawn, on which the king stands with his back to the players and says two phrases: "The king loves ..." and "The king does not love ...", while naming two colors. For example, if the king says: "The king loves the color blue," then children dressed in blue shades walk calmly next to the king. If he says: “The king does not like red,” then the guys in clothes with red inserts or drawings must run past the king along the line so that he does not touch them.

Participants become pairs, and each pair, starting with the leader, receives its number in order: first, second, third, and so on. In the middle, a corridor must be left for the run, so in this game the pairs do not join hands and form two lines. Someone needs to be in charge of this game. He steps forward, ten paces from the first couple. In both hands he has a wand. One by one, he calls pairs (in any order). Both of the called pair run along the inner corridor to the leader, snatch the sticks from his hands and, running around the standing pairs from the outside, give him these sticks again. The one who gave his wand first brings his line a point. When all the pairs run across, it turns out that one of the ranks has more points, and she won.
After each run, the lines change places: the first becomes left, and the left becomes right.

Rhythmic relay race with sticks

Holding a stick by one end, they carry it along the column under the feet of the players, who, without moving, jump over it. Once at the end of the column, the player passes the stick to the partner in front of him, the next one, and so on until the stick reaches the player leading the column. He runs forward with a stick, repeating the task. The game ends when all players have covered the course.

Stripe jumping

On the floor across the site, there are strips 50 centimeters wide. Players line up on one side of the court. On a signal, the first players begin to jump from strip to strip. Jumps can be performed from foot to foot, two at the same time, and so on - on the instructions of the teacher. Those who complete the task correctly receive a point. The team with the most points wins. Repeated 2-3 times.

Game progress: The players are divided into equal teams. One team forms a circle, its players join hands and raise them up. There must be sufficient distance between the players so that a person can pass between them, even if bent over. The other team starts moving around each player of the first team in turn and each time passing through the gate formed by the hands of the players of the first team. The players of the second team hold hands, which cannot be disengaged! So, the second team finds itself in the circle, then outside it. The first team during the game says:

Golden Gate
They don't always miss.
The first one is allowed
The second time is forbidden
And for the third time
We won't miss you!

At the last word, the team abruptly lowers its hands. If someone from the second team is inside, he leaves the chain and stands in the center of the circle. Naturally, the second players try to be outside the circle on the last word, but it is not always possible. You can complicate the game by the fact that the players of the first team say their words with their own lips, carefully looking at each other, and suddenly lower their hands. When one person remains in the second team, but is recognized as the winner, and the teams change roles.

After these actions, at the command of the leader, the participants begin to pull the rope. The winner is the group that quickly combined the ribbon on the rope with the mark on their side. It is better to hold such a competition when the company is already a little tipsy, it will be more interesting and funnier.

The next, no less popular competition, which is suitable for corporate outdoor recreation on a birthday, is Treasure Hunt.

It is desirable that all items be about the same size, such as different jars, chocolate bars, small packages of cookies, sweets - everything that is not a pity to give away. While the participants are not looking, the host hides all the details in the recreation area, choosing two different places. You can hide it anywhere: in the hollow of a tree, under a pile of leaves, behind a stump, in a hole and others. interesting places. Each team in the territory allotted to it is looking for the things of the opponent, which at the time of the competition are treasures. The host announces the start of the game, and the teams begin their search, trying to find all the things faster than their rivals. And when all the treasures are found by one of the groups, they are automatically awarded to the winners as the main prize, and of course, they also take their things. The competition is very interesting, exciting, everyone will be happy to become a participant in this game.

Very common, old good game from a series of catch-ups that will cause a sea of ​​​​emotions, these are “paints”. Anyone who is not afraid to run a certain distance will want to participate in this competition.

"Paints"

This game is scripted. All participants stand in a line and guess any color, it is desirable that it be rare, so it will be more difficult to guess. The host (buyer) walks a short distance away from them and turns away. A similar dialogue follows:

• Host (B): - Knock-knock-knock?
• Participants (U): — Who is here?
• Q: I am a monk.
• W: Why did you come?
• B: For paint.
• W: What color?
• Next, the host says any color that comes to his mind.
• B: - (for example) behind the blue one.
• If this paint is missing, then the answer sounds something like this:
• U: - No, now jump around on one leg.
• And then the buyer jumps a small circle. But if such a beauty is among those conceived, then the participants answer:
• U: - There is one, you need to pay for it ...

Names the age of the owner of this color.

The buyer quickly counts aloud to the named number, and at this time the beauty tries to run far away from him. Having counted, the leader runs after the paint, and then the catch-up begins, it can take a long time, everyone supports the evader with a loud cry. The point is for the beauty to return to its place, not caught. If the host still caught her, then they change places, and the game starts again, only with a different buyer. This competition is very fun, interesting, especially when there are many participants.

Contests are very popular in nature on birthdays - relay races, when all the vacationers ate, got drunk and decided to have fun. Here are a few options for such an active holiday.

"Candle"

Participants are divided into 2 teams, stand in equal columns one after the other. The captains of each team are given a lit candle in their hands. Usually the distance of the run is chosen to be small so that each player can run his own way without a long wait. A route is chosen, along which the participants run in turn. For example: you need to run to a tree that is the same distance from each team, run around it and return. But the main thing is that the candle does not go out in any case. If suddenly this happens, then the participant must return to the team, light a candle and start all over again. If the fire does not go out, then the candle is passed to the next from the team, and he runs on the same conditions. The game continues until the moment when each of the participants does not make his way. The winner is the team that completes the task the fastest.

"Jumpers"

This competition also requires 2 teams, the same formation of participants, only instead of running with a candle, each of the group will need to jump on one leg to a certain place and back. To complicate the task a little, you can choose the terrain on the slope so that the jumper goes up there, and back down the hill. The more the players fall, the funnier the audience naturally gets. The winner is the team that finishes the relay first. As a prize in this competition, you can make any remedy for abrasions and bruises, it will come in handy. By the way, instead of jumping on one leg, as an option, you can equip the participant in skis, give out sticks and send along the same path, it will be no less funny.

Outdoor recreation is generally very popular nowadays, people are charging positive emotions, are not afraid to open up and be funny and just have fun, not remembering everyday problems. But you can relax not only in nature, but also, for example, in the country, celebrating, meeting graduates, or simply for no reason.

As a rule, the dacha is usually located outside the city, and apart from your friends, no one will see you in the coming days, so you can hold a similar competition.

"Bright bottle"

For the props, you will need all the cosmetics that the girls took with them from home: nail polishes, lipsticks, shadows, blush, etc. Everything is neatly laid out in a circle, a bottle is placed in the center. All participants sit around and start the game. They take turns spinning the bottle, which object it points to, the participant will have to use it (make up nails, cheeks, lips). It's very funny, especially when both sexes are involved. The main thing in such a competition is to capture everything in photographs, so that later they can laugh together at the received shots.

The game can continue until the moment when all participants are decorated.. The winner is the one whose makeup is the best and most beautiful, it will be fun if the winner is a young man. And you can do it differently: play until one of the participants remains, untouched by cosmetics, and he will be the winner. As a prize, you can give away part of the cosmetics.

A very interesting comic contest will improve the mood in any bored company. Everyone loves to play people, but not everyone wants to be a test subject.

"Coin"

No more than 5 people can take part in this competition. From a newspaper or a large sheet of paper, you need to twist a bag with a hole at the end. Participants must insert it into their pants or trousers, always in front. Each player is given a coin, which he must put on his forehead, raising his head up. After the done actions, the rules of the game are announced to the participants. The bottom line is that with the same coin from the forehead, the players can get into the bag. But in which leg the coin will fall, this will decide the further development of the game. While the facilitator explains the rules and the participants look up, one of the spectators brings a container of water. After warning the facilitator about the beginning of the game, when the participants with their heads raised try to aim at the bag, the facilitator pours the prepared water into it. All the spectators will simply die of laughter from such a prank, and the participants will not be very offended, but will simply laugh along with everyone.

If you decide to relax, celebrate your birthday or any other holiday at the camp site, then in this case, many competitions will also be useful to you. Indeed, in the absence of games, you can get bored, and so that this does not happen, we offer the following options.

"Rhyme"

Several people can participate in this fun contest at the same time. Participants sit in a circle, in front of them, in the center, any prize is placed. The entire competition is held in verse. The host starts:

• If you hear the number three, then rather take the prize.

Then the leader pronounces rhymed phrases, one after another, where the word three should be the logical conclusion. The participants, who are waiting to hear the cherished word, are already beginning to reach for the gift, but the ending turns out to be unexpected.

• Lights were turned on by the lanterns - there are exactly eight of them in a row.
• We waited for her inside, maybe an hour, or even five.

And a host can say a lot of similar phrases, but word three should be where no one expects to hear it, for example:

• On a grand occasion, I wrote you three words.

In this phrase, the participants may not even hear the right word, and wait further, and whoever understands first that it still sounded will receive the prize. The most attentive participant will be the winner.

If suddenly there are children on vacation, then they can also be involved in the competition, even as props.

"It does not pull its load"

How many children are on vacation, so many teams will be in this competition. Each of the players must put one child on their shoulders. Next to each team there will be a container, and at the distance that will be measured for the race, a bucket of water. The task is for the runner with a glass in his hand and a child on his shoulders to run to the bucket., took water, returned just as quickly and poured water into a container. Then the next player in the group takes the child, the glass, and repeats the actions of the previous participant. The winner is not the team that finishes the competition first, but the one that has more water in their allotted container. This competition is best held after the first glass so that the children do not suffer.

Very interesting and popular competitions at the hostel are also competitions from the series of throwers and throwers.

It is better to divide those wishing to participate into two equal teams of 6 people, and more can be. A bucket of potatoes is placed next to the team, it is better if it is small, and each group must have an equal amount. At an average distance from the participants, another bucket is placed, only already empty, it will be the goal. A line is marked that cannot be stepped on, if the player nevertheless stepped in, then the throw will not be counted. The task is simple - to get potatoes into the bucket, each player has 3 attempts. The team with the most potatoes in their bucket wins. As a prize, the winners take a potato.
