To play, you need chairs for each child and a ball. Children sit on chairs in a circle. In the center is the driver with the ball. The driver throws the ball to one of the children. If at the same time he shouts "Tsap", then the catching ball must say the name of his neighbor on the left. If, during the throw, “Scratch!” Sounded, you need to name the neighbor on the right. Whoever makes a mistake replaces the driver. When someone gets tired of throwing the ball, then you can put the ball on the ground and say: "Tsap-Tsarap". Then everyone should immediately change places, and the driver at this time should quickly take the vacant chair. Advice: Before starting the game, make sure that the children know what their name is and remind them where "left" and "right" are.

Playing with the hat

Children sit in a circle. The facilitator turns on the music and the children begin to pass the ladies' hat to each other. As soon as the presenter stops the music, the one of the children who had a hat at that moment puts it on and walks in a circle, portraying a noble lady. Options: you can take a cowboy hat and play a cowboy; take a military cap and portray a soldier, etc. For older children, you can complicate the game - pass several hats in a circle. With the music stopping, all the children with hats put on their mono performance.

Caught a fish!

Players tie a thick thread or cord 1 - 1.5 meters long with a short stick (fish) at the end to the belt. The task of the catchers is to catch as many fish as possible - i.e. step on a stick dragging along the ground and cut it off. The winner is the one who catches the most fish and keeps his own.

Chase the ball

The players form a circle, standing at a distance of outstretched arms from each other.

With the help of a rhyme, the driver is chosen:

"Past the forest, past the dachas

A red ball floated down the river.

The pike saw. What is this thing?

Grab, grab!

Don't catch.

The ball popped up again.

Come out, you have to drive. "

The driver takes a step back. His place in the circle remains free. The fifth child from the driving child is given a large ball. Children say together: "One, two, three - run!" On this signal, the players begin to pass the ball to the right in a circle, and the driver runs around the circle in the same direction, trying to reach his place before the ball reaches him. The game is repeated with a new driver selected using the same rhyme.

Do not snooze!

Children stand in a circle with their backs to the center and to the driver. The driver has a ball in his hands. He starts counting from 1 to 5. After the number 5, he calls out the name of one of the children and tosses the ball up. The task of the one whose name was called is to quickly turn around and catch the ball either on the fly, or after only one hit on the ground.

Those who have failed three times are eliminated from the circle.

Fishing rod

Children stand in a circle. In the center - the driver, preferably an adult. The leader is holding a cord with a soft ball tied at the end or a rope 1.5-2 meters long. With the words: "Catch, fish, big and small!" the driver rotates the cord so that its end falls under the feet of the children. The task of the children is to prevent the cord from touching their feet. To do this, when approaching the legs of the "fishing rod", you need to jump so that the cord passes under your feet. If a child steps on the line, it is considered caught.

Find the ball

The players stand in a circle, close to each other, facing the center of the circle. In the center of the circle is the driver. All children keep their hands behind their backs. One of them is given a medium-sized ball. Children start passing the ball to each other behind their backs. The driver needs to guess who has the ball. Turning now to one, now to another child, he says: "Hands!"

According to this requirement, the player must immediately stretch both hands forward.

The one who has the ball or who dropped the ball becomes the driver.

Golden Gate

A pair of players face each other and raise their hands up - this is the gate.

The rest of the players join hands so that a chain is obtained.

Players - the gate speaks the counting-rhyme, and the chain must quickly pass between them.

Reader:

"Tra-ta-ta, tra-ta-ta,

We open the gate

Golden Gate.

Hurry all over here,

We skip once,

We skip two,

And the third time -

We will not let you pass. "

With these words, hands are lowered, the gates are slammed. Those children who are caught become additional gates. The "gate" wins if it succeeds in catching all the players.

Mousetrap

Children stand in a circle, holding hands - this is a mousetrap. One or two children are mice. They are outside the circle.

Children, holding hands and lifting them up, move in a circle with the words:

"Oh, how tired the mice are,

They gnawed everything, ate everything!

Beware, cheats,

We will get to you!

Let's slam the mousetrap

And we'll catch you right away! "

While pronouncing the text, "mice" run in and out of the circle. With the last word "the mousetrap slams shut" - the children drop their hands and sit on their haunches. Those who do not have time to run out of the circle are considered to be caught and stand in a circle. Other "mice" are selected.

Bunny

They choose a bunny and surround it in a round dance. The bunny dances all the time, looking how to jump out of the circle. And the round dance goes in a circle, singing:

"Zainka, dance,

Gray, jump.

Turn around in a circle, sideways

Turn around, turn sideways!

There is a hare where to jump out,

There is a place for the gray to jump out! "

The task of the hare is to deceive the vigilance of children and jump out of the circle.

Troll and fellows

There can be as many players as you like, but not less than 3 people. The more players, the more space you need. One troll is selected, some place is assigned to it - "house" - it can be a chair, a tree, a circle outlined with chalk. Farther from the troll is the "home" of the fellows.

Here the fellows quietly agree on what kind of work they will be hired to the troll. They will show work only with movements.

They must do this at the same time. And now, for clarity, an example of the game:

Well done, they agreed to be sawers and go to the troll's house. They come up and say:

- Hello, Troll!

- Hello, fellows! Why did you come?

- Hire a job!

- What can you do?

Well done answer:

- And that's what! ..

And they begin to silently show with movements how they saw wood. If the troll guesses that the guys are showing, then he says: "I don't need the sawers!" And with these words, he runs to catch the fellows. The caught one becomes a troll and takes "home". The former troll becomes a fine fellow.

Well, if he doesn't guess right after three attempts, then the good fellows "make a nose for him" and say: "If he didn't guess - he was left without workers!" and give the troll a new task.

Paints

The driver is chosen - "monk" and the leader - "seller". All the rest of the players guess the colors of the paints in secret from the "monk". Colors should not be repeated.

The game begins with the fact that the driver comes to the "store" and says: "I, a monk, in blue pants, came to you for paint." Seller: "For what?" Monk: (names any color) For blue. If there is no such paint, then the seller says: "Go along the blue path, you will find blue boots, diarrhea, but bring them back!" "Monk" starts the game from the beginning.

If there is such a paint, then the player who made this color tries to escape from the "monk", and he catches up with him. If he caught up, then the driver becomes the paint, if not, then the colors are made up again and the game is repeated.

A-RAM-PWM-PWM

The driver stands in the center of the circle with his eyes closed and his hand extended forward. All the players run in a circle with the words:

"A-ram-shim-shim,

A-ram-shim-shim,

Aramia-goose,

Show me. "

The circle stops at the last words, and the players look at whom the driver's hand is pointing to. The one to whom the driver pointed, enters the circle and stands back to back with the driver. All in chorus say: "One, two, three." On the count of three, those in the center turn their heads at the same time. If they turned their heads in one direction, then they perform some task of the children - they sing, dance, read, etc. After that, the first driver leaves, and the second takes his place. If they turned their heads in different directions, then no task is given to them, the first driver leaves, and the second starts the game from the beginning.

When older guys play this game, they sometimes introduce this rule. If there is a boy and a girl in the center and they turn their heads in one direction, then they should kiss. If there are two boys or two girls in the center, then they shake hands.

Hello

All stand in a circle, face, shoulder to shoulder. The driver walks along the outside of the circle and touches one of the players. The driver and the player who have been touched run in different directions along the outside of the circle. When they meet, they shake hands and say: "Hello." You can also give your name. Then they run further, trying to take an empty seat in the circle. The one who is left without a place becomes a driver.

Atoms and Molecules

All players randomly move around the playground, at this moment they are all "atoms". As you know, atoms can turn into molecules - more complex formations consisting of several atoms. A molecule can have two, three, or five atoms. Those who play on the leader's command will need to create a "molecule", i.e. several players will need to grab each other. If the presenter says: "The reaction is going on in three!", It means that three players - "atoms" merge into one "molecule". The signal for the molecules to disintegrate again into separate atoms is the leader's command: "The reaction is over." If the guys do not yet know what an "atom", "molecule", "reaction" is, an adult should explain it to them in a popular way. The signal for returning temporarily eliminated players to the game is the command: "Reaction goes one by one."

Sea - land

You will need a hoop for this game (one per child). You can play together with a child and a company.

The hoop is placed on the ground. It is agreed that there is a water element inside the hoop - the sea, river, ocean, etc. Outside the hoop - land (shore, meadow, beach, etc.)

At the command "Sea", children must jump into the hoop. At the command "Land!" children should be outside the hoop.

Option: instead of a hoop, you can simply draw a circle on the ground or in the snow in winter.

Fifteen on a string

Tie a rope 3-4 meters long to a post, to a tree. Draw a circle of the same diameter around the post. Lay out 20-30 small objects - toys or pebbles inside the circle.

These are treasures that the watchman will guard. This should be done in the following way: the watchman holds with one hand to the rope tied to the post, and with the other hand he stains those who are trying to take the treasure. The one who is tainted is out of the game.

After the agreed time, the watchman's shift ends. They calculate how many treasures were able to steal, and the game continues with a new guard.

Full turn

We draw a circle on the ground, the diameter does not matter. We divide the circle into six sectors. Each sector has a corresponding number. The first player stands in the center of the circle, facing the number 1. Having jumped, he must make a 360-degree turn in the air in order to land again on the number 1. If he succeeds, he gets 10 points. And if he lands on a different number, he gets the number of points corresponding to the number.

Invisible

Players stand in a circle and pass an invisibility hat (any headgear) behind each other. Suddenly someone decides that it's time for his neighbor to become invisible, and suddenly puts a hat on his head with the words: "Beware of invisibility!" Those standing in the circle scatter in all directions, and the invisible man hurries to the ball, which lies in the center of the circle. Grabbing it, he shouts: "Stop, don't move!" Everyone stops. Now invisible can spot someone with a ball from his place. If this succeeds, then he drops the cap and runs away from it. The rest are standing at this time. Now there is a new invisibility in the game. He picks up the ball and puts on a hat and tries to hit someone else with the ball. Etc. As soon as someone misses, everyone again stands in a circle, they put a ball in the center and the invisible hat again goes in a circle.

Catch the mosquito

A handkerchief - "mosquito" is tied to a string 0.5 meters long. A mosquito rope can be attached to a twig, or you can hold it in your hand. An adult holds the rope so that the "mosquito" is 5-10 cm above the child's raised hand. The child, jumping up, tries to swat the mosquito with his palms. Option: instead of a rope with a handkerchief, you can use a tambourine. The child, jumping up, knocks the tambourine with his palm.

Weather vane and wind

First, you need to explain to the children what a weather vane is, and show the cardinal points. The child depicts a weather vane - standing or sitting, frozen. An adult starts the game. He commands: "The wind is blowing from the east" - while the "weathervane" must turn to face the west, and so on. At the word "storm" children whirl in place, at the word "calm" they freeze. Whoever made a mistake - pays fant.

Statues

This game is best played with a big ball. The players stand in a circle and throw the ball to each other. Whoever does not catch the ball is punished: he will have to continue the game, standing on one leg. If in this position he manages to catch the ball, then the penalty is removed. If he misses the ball again, he will have to kneel down and try to catch the ball in that position. On the third error, the unlucky player drops to both knees. If he manages to catch the ball, everything is forgiven. On the fourth error, the player leaves the game.

Three pits

Three holes are dug in the ground or sand at an equal distance from each other (0.5 m). Now you need to move away from the first hole 2-3 steps and try to throw a pebble or a small ball into the hole. If you manage to get into the hole, then the second throw will be into the second hole, and then into the third. But that is not all. Now you need to throw the stones in the reverse order - first into the third hole, then into the second and into the first.

In Hat

The driver is selected. The driver's task is to grease the player with the hat. However, the rest of the players are constantly passing the hat to each other. If a hat is handed over to a player, he must stop and put it on. Running with your hat in your hand is prohibited. If the driver manages to grease the player with the hat, they switch roles. The role of the driver and the player who has dropped the hat on the ground or forgot to put it on his head change.

To make the game more dynamic and interesting, you can introduce several (two to four) drivers and several hats into the game.

It is interesting to play the game while dancing, while additional requirement to the driver and other players - to move to the beat of the music.

Breakthrough

Players are divided into two teams. One team forms a circle, the other team's players in the center of the circle. The game starts at the signal of the host. The task of the players in the center is to break out of the circle, the task of the players forming the circle is not to let the rivals go. For execution game task given certain time(1-5 minutes). The team in the center is considered to be the winner if all its players have left the circle. Otherwise, the team making up the circle wins. After that, the teams change roles.

Another variation of the game is when players are outside the circle and try to break into the center of it.

There are two options for making a circle - the players hold hands and the players stand with their shoulders pressed together.

Groupings

Players walk freely around the room. Suddenly, the presenter gives a signal and reports the condition. The participants in the game should form groups as soon as possible in accordance with this condition. Those players who will not be able to complete tasks or will do it later than others give forfeits, which are played at the end of the game.

Conditions can be as simple (gather in two, three, four, etc.; gather in groups with an even (odd) number of people), and more complex (gather in pairs - boys and girls; gather in threes, where all same sex (same height, same hair color).

Dance with the subject

All players dance and at the same time pass each other a small object (toy, orange). The host turns off the music from time to time. Anyone who has an object in their hands at that moment is eliminated. The last player on the dance floor wins.

Main

The driver leaves the room for a while. From among the rest of the players, the "chief" is selected. All participants get up steeply. When the driver returns, the "main" begins to show various movements, and the rest of the players repeat after him. The goal of the driver is to guess which of the players is "in charge". If, after two attempts, he manages to do this, the “chief” becomes a new driver, if not, the driver leaves the room again, and the players choose another “chief”.

It is advisable to play the game with music.

Game "Eskimo blind man's buff"

This game is good after eating. A driver is chosen among the participants, who is blindfolded. The driver must have mittens on his hands. One of the players approaches the driver. The task of the driver is to determine by touch who is in front of him. If the driver guessed correctly, that person becomes the driver, if not, the next participant approaches the driver.

Captain, ship, reefs

The "captain" and "ship" are selected from among the players. The rest of the participants are scattered across the clearing, depicting reefs. The "ship" is blindfolded and begins to move continuously. The goal of the "captain" is to navigate the "ship" between the reefs on opposite side playground (to clarify the problem, you can also choose a player representing the pier to which the ship should dock). For this, the "captain" gives the command to the "ship": "To the right!" and "To the left!" The "ship" must turn in accordance with these commands, while continuing to move continuously. If the "ship" touches one of the reefs, the game is lost and a new pair is selected - "captain" and "ship".

You can try to play the game simultaneously for 2-3 pairs of "captains" and "ships" (while for each of them you need to designate your own pier).

Crossing the abyss

A line is drawn on the ground. All participants are divided into two teams. Players of the same team stand in a row, sideways to each other, and join hands. Each team moves along the line with an additional step (teams start from opposite ends of the line). The hardest part is to disperse along the line when the teams meet (facing each other). The team whose players left the line is considered to be the loser. In order to win, it is allowed to push the players of the opposing team.

Hunters

Three small balls are required for the game (pine cones can also be used). Three drivers are selected - "hunters", each of them takes a ball. At the command of the leader, all players (including the "hunters") walk freely around the site. As soon as the presenter says: “Stop”, the players should freeze in place, and the “hunters” (also on the spot) try to hit one of the players with the ball. Those hunters who succeed in this change roles with the hardened players. Then the game is repeated.

Alternatively, you can play on a small knockout court. The players, harried by the "hunters", leave the site. The hunter who misses is also out of the game. The last player remaining in the game wins. In this version of the game, the number of "hunters" can be increased.

Who is the smartest?

Place the figures on the floor. Everyone walks in a circle to the music behind the presenter and on the whistle or as the music stops, they must grab the figurine. Whoever did not get it, he leaves the game. The number of figures decreases by one each time.

Find a place

Chairs are placed in a row, seats alternately in different directions. The driver takes a long stick and begins to walk around those sitting on the chairs. If near someone he hits the floor with a stick, this player must get up from the chair and follow the driver. So the driver walks around the chairs, knocks here and there, and now a whole retinue follows him. The driver begins to move away from the chairs, walks in circles, like a snake; the rest repeat everything after him. Suddenly, at a moment unexpected for everyone, the driver knocks on the floor twice. This is a signal for everyone to immediately take their places. And this is not so easy now, since the chairs look in different directions. The driver himself tries to take the place one of the first. Now the driver is the one who did not get a seat.

If your baby is already between 5 and 7 years old, you have a wonderful opportunity to celebrate his birthday not only with fun, but also with benefit. The fact is that during this period the child's personality develops at a rapid pace in all spheres of life. Boys and girls during this period:

• intelligence and conscious curiosity increases;
• control over emotions appears;
• willpower and moral concepts appear;
• physical strength and endurance increases.

Where to celebrate your birthday

The main thing is that the child is no longer afraid of animators, magicians, or any other professionals in the field of children's entertainment, but, on the contrary, is happy with them and really wants to take part in some exciting adventure or watch an experimental show. A child's birthday at the age of 5-7 years can be celebrated in any place you like, respectively, both with and without animators. Such a place could be:

• children's cafe or restaurant. There are a lot of them now and all the conditions for family leisure have been created there.
• Entertainment Center;
• nature;
• game room;
• Museum.

We plan the child's birthday ourselves

If you have not entrusted the organization of the event for your child to professionals entirely and completely, then you will need to draw up a celebration plan with traditional points in advance (about 2 weeks before the long-awaited event):

• place and time of the event;
• booking a hall (it is important to do this in advance);
• number of guests;
• menu;
• accessories;
• program and scenario of the holiday and entertainment;
• gifts for the birthday man and guests;

Remember that some children's institutions have their own rules for the celebration, so you need to clarify them in advance. Also ask if you can bring food or drinks with you. In some places, this is strictly prohibited, therefore, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises, it is better to find out everything in advance.

When organizing a children's event, parents always bear great responsibility and a nervous load. Therefore, it is better to think over all the little things of the holiday in advance, otherwise, later, in a hurry and nervousness, you can miss something important and spoil the joy of the child and his little guests.

Entertainment program for children's birthday

Sometimes the birthdays of children 5 - 7 years old (especially 5) are still celebrated by parents at home. In this case, it is very important to carefully consider entertainment program on one's own. It is best to start with congratulating the birthday person. This process should be organized in a non-standard way in order to immediately set the tone for the holiday. For example, the voices of your favorite cartoon characters will be just appropriate in this case... You can also congratulate your child in the costume of some funny animal or hero of his favorite cartoon, or arrange a kind one.

After the procedure for presenting gifts, you can start games and contests.

The presenter participates in this game, wearing clothes of three colors of traffic lights. The task of children is to cross the road, carefully listening to the leader's commands. If the presenter says "red", then only players with red clothes can cross the road, and the rest need to run so that the lead traffic light does not shower them with a ball. The one who is caught becomes the leading traffic light himself.

Merry wave

Two adults stretch a long and wide fabric and wave it like it's a sea storm. Dolphin players try to run under the cloth so that it does not touch them. If the cloth touches the dolphin, then he is out of the game.

Guess!

In this game, the presenter thinks of a word on a certain topic, which he informs the children. Participants must guess the word by asking leading questions, to which the facilitator answers in monosyllables: "yes" or "no".

Nickname

Children stand in a circle and throw a ball to each other, coming up with a cute nickname, based on the character and appearance of the person to whom the ball is flying. For example, a girl with white skin is Snow White.

The main thing in this game is that the gathered company should be friendly and polite, and indeed, they only give each other pleasant nicknames.

Cat and mouse

Favorite game of millions, especially those who visited Kindergarten.))) Participants form a circle holding hands. A player is placed inside the circle to represent the mouse. And the cat player stands outside the circle. Her task is to get inside and catch the mouse. Children in a round dance actively prevent the cat from achieving its goal. The cat tries to crawl under the circle, jump over it or break the chain of entwined hands of the participants. If she succeeds, then the children should immediately release the mouse from the circle and keep the cat in it. The game lasts until the cat grabs the mouse.

Windball

To play you will need plastic cover from plastic bottle with water or lemonade. It is placed on the table exactly in the middle. Players are divided into 2 teams and are located on both sides of the table. Each team starts blowing on the cover, trying to blow it into enemy territory. \

The task is to score a goal for the opponents. It is prohibited to push the object with hands or other objects. The winning team receives a prize - a cup with their favorite drink.

This year, we played this kind of air hockey. The children really liked the game. I had to play several matches)))

Strongmen

Game-mood and warm-up for the muscles of the face and ... the press. Felt-tip pens are distributed to children. They should be placed between the baby's nose and upper lip. The task of the participants is to keep the felt-tip pen in place for as long as possible. And the task of adults is to make the "strongmen" laugh.

Taster

One of the participants is blindfolded and a piece of something tasty is put in his mouth: orange, candy, banana, apple, plum, pear (prepare a wide range). The player must taste what is in his mouth. When a child makes a mistake, another player comes to replace him.

Repeat movement

The guests present sit in a circle. The first participant shows movement. The second player repeats the same movement, but adds his own. The third participant repeats two movements and also adds something of his own ... and so on in turn. The most difficult thing is the last player, who must repeat all the previous movements without error. The one who goes astray is eliminated from the game.

Giants and dwarfs

The adult leader in turn says the words: "dwarfs" - everyone should squat down; "Giants" - everyone needs to get on their feet. The game requires attentiveness and good coordination of movements.

The presenter is allowed to confuse the players. For example, he can give fake commands: "Cucumbers!", "Cow!" A participant who confused the command or was not attentive enough is eliminated from the game.

Watch a few more games for a large company of kids in this video:

Take care in advance of the reward to the losing participants, and better small gifts for all participants. And winning and losing will be secondary. Present the kids with a cute souvenir, a small toy, or something sweet from the table.

After games and fun, invite the children and their parents to the table. After the gala dinner, be sure to bring a cake with the right amount candles so that the birthday man blew them out and make his most cherished wish with cheerful music.

Feast for children and adults

By the way, at this age, children are already beginning to understand whether the celebration is beautifully decorated. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to take care of a festive and original table setting and decoration.

• serve the main course on the same plates and with the same decoration theme;
• Stick the canapes and desserts on wooden or plastic skewers that resemble forks (only with very blunt ends). After eating, the skewers must be removed immediately so that they do not become an object for the game;
• Spread the canapes over several small plates so that they can be positioned at several ends of the table. If you don't have a common table, then we place the plates on the windowsills, coffee table or bedside tables;
• choose some dense product as a basis for canapes - hard cookies, bread, cucumber, marshmallow, root vegetable (so that there are no crumbs);
• avoid eating rye and gray bread for sandwiches - this is too heavy food for small tummies;
• to add originality to the dish, cut the canapes into shapes: square, oval, circle, star, heart;
• spread the canapes between the layers with sauce: cottage cheese, sour cream or low-fat mayonnaise;
• decorate the main meat dish in the form of funny hedgehogs, fish and crabs. Attach legs made from strips of boiled carrots or zucchini canned with rings to the crab, and let the eyes be cloves or dark olives. Any children's salad can be arranged in the form of funny animals;
• put several animals in a plate for each baby at the same time: for example, from salad and from meat - there will be no limit to the child's delight;
• include sausages from a trusted manufacturer in the festive diet (necessarily made according to state standard), even if in Everyday life you don't like them. You can make many interesting and funny figures from sausages: turtles, octopuses, rabbits and dogs - everything that you have enough imagination for.

After the feast and the solemn taking out of the cake with candles, be sure to arrange a children's disco. Let the little ones jump and frolic to the funny songs of cartoon characters. And let the kids have unforgettable impressions after the celebration!

Enjoy your preparations and happy holidays!

Sincerely,

Marina Talanina and Lyudmila Potsepun.
