And if he doesn’t manage to escape right away, the “Cossack” guard can catch him again. The “Cossack” can also catch the “robber” who has come to the rescue.
The game is considered over when all the “robbers” are in the “dungeon”. Then the game can be started over, and the participants can switch roles.

Before the game starts, a driver is selected. All the guys stand in a circle, and the driver stands in the center of the circle with a skipping rope in his hands. He begins to rotate the rope so that it slides along the floor, making circle after circle under the feet of the players.
The players jump, trying to prevent it from hitting any of them. A player is considered caught if the rope touches him no higher than his ankle. Players should not approach the driver while jumping.
The one who touches the rope stands in the middle and begins to rotate the rope, and the former driver takes his place.
Notes. Among the additional items you will need is a jump rope (you can also use a rope with a bag of sand tied to the end).

Now it’s warm and we often go for walks and play children’s outdoor games for preschoolers during our walks.
Since you don’t really run around in an apartment, every child needs to develop physically.
And in games it’s much more interesting to move, especially if a whole company is going to play.
So read, study and play with your children!
Fun outdoor games for children in summer, autumn and spring.
1. In search of treasure.
Take some kind of toy, sweets, etc. as a “treasure”. It's best to wrap it in foil. Show the sealed “treasure” to the children and ask them to close their eyes. Hide the “treasure” in a tree, behind a stump, swing, bench or somewhere else. Let the children go on a search. Whoever finds the “treasure” first wins.
2. Find a match.
The leader distributes multi-colored circles or flags to all children (a pair of each item). At the leader’s signal, the children run, and when they hear a clap or the sound of a whistle, everyone must find a pair based on the color of the circle or flag and hold hands. An odd number of children can also take part in the game, then one will be left without a pair and will leave the game.
3. Reviving objects.
This game is especially suitable for little ones. At home, cut out funny eyes from paper and take a piece of plasticine and go for a walk with the children. Let the children choose which objects they want to revive - flowers, trees, carousels... You can even arrange a competition between the children to see who can “revive” the objects the fastest. This develops children's imagination well.
4. Ring.
Children sit on a bench or stand in a row. The presenter takes a ring or some other small object and pretends to place this ring in the palms of each of the players. Then he says: “Ring, go out onto the porch!” and the one who really has the ring left in his palms tries to quickly jump out, and the other children try to prevent him from doing this. If the player manages to jump out, then he takes the place of the leader.
5. Find a plant.
The children turn away, and the leader picks a leaf or any plant. The children's task is to find the same one as quickly as possible. Whoever is first becomes the leader.
6.. In the sandbox.
We take some object, ask the children to turn away, and bury this little thing in the sandbox. Children must dig with shovels and find the buried object. (It’s very good to play this game on the beach. You just need to outline the area for searching).
7. Balloon tennis.
Take badminton or tennis rackets. Inflate a balloon and use it instead of a tennis ball or shuttlecock. balloon flies for a long time, and the child has time to think a little about where to run and hit the ball.
8. Winding the rope.
Only two people can play this game. If there are more people willing, then you can play alternately with the winner, and the rest are fans. Take two identical branches or sticks and a longer rope (3 and more than a meter). We tie a branch or stick to each end of the rope. In the middle of this rope we tie a flag or make a knot. Each participant takes a stick and moves away so that the rope itself is well stretched. So, at a signal, the children begin to wind the rope around their stick. Whoever reaches the knot or flag the fastest is the winner!
9. Crow.
One child is blindfolded and stands with his back to the children. Each player must approach the leader and place his hand on his shoulder. The driver says: “Caw, crow!” The player croaks, and the driver guesses the name of the one who croaked. If he guesses correctly, he changes places with the player.
10. Rain and sunshine.
We draw a circle on the asphalt and ask the children to stand in it. When the presenter says “Sunshine,” the children leave the circle, run, and jump. And when they hear the word “Rain,” the children should form a circle as quickly as possible. Whoever is last loses.
11. Snake.
Children join hands, and then a whole “chain” is built. The presenter takes the last one by the hand and leads this “snake”, making various unexpected turns. The kids must hold on tightly so as not to break the “chain.” If the children are quite old, then you can run like a snake.
12. Deaf telephone.
Children line up. The first in the row whispers a word into the ear of his neighbor - he repeats this word to the other in a whisper, and so on. The latter names the word he heard. Usually the named word only causes laughter...
13. Repeater.
Children stand in a circle, the first player shows some movement (for example, clapping), the next one repeats everything and adds another movement. So everyone must repeat all the movements shown in front of him and add his own. Whoever messes up is out of the game.
14. Edible-inedible.
For this game, take a ball. Have the children stand in a row or sit on a bench. The driver begins to throw the ball to each player, naming an edible or inedible object. If the named item can be eaten, the children catch the ball, if not, they throw it back to the driver.
15. Drive more quietly.
Children stand on one side of the “road”, and the leader stands on the other, turning his back to everyone. The presenter says: “The slower you go, the further you will go.” - the children begin to run, trying to reach the finish line as early as possible. After a few seconds, the presenter says: “Stop!” - the children stop running and freeze. The presenter turns around, and if he sees any movement of any player, he is eliminated from the game. The winner is the one who runs to the finish line first.
16. Hot potatoes.
Children stand in a circle. The driver gives a signal or turns on music (you can use music from your phone). Children begin to throw the ball to each other, trying to get rid of it as quickly as possible. When the driver gives a signal or turns off the music, the one who still has the ball in his hands is eliminated from the game. When 1 player remains, the game ends and he becomes the winner.
17. Fishermen and fish.
Two children are chosen as fishermen, and the rest are fish. The children begin to dance around the fishermen and sing a song: Fish live in the water, There is no beak, but they peck. If they have wings, they don't fly, but they don't have legs, but they walk. They don’t make nests, but they take out the babies. The “fishermen” join hands and quickly catch all the scattering “fish”. The “fish” that come across already become “fishermen”. Now these “fishermen” join hands and begin to catch other children. So the “Network” becomes even larger.
18. Simon speaks.
The presenter must say the words: “Simon says” and then say what all the children should do. If the words: “Simon says” do not sound, then the command should not be executed. And the children answer: “Simon didn’t say.” For example, the presenter says: “Simon says - run!” Children are running. Anyone who begins to carry out any command from the leader, without saying “Simon says,” misses a turn or leaves the game.
19. At the bear's in the forest.
One child squats in the designated area and pretends to be a sleeping bear. Children walk around him all the time and pretend that they are picking mushrooms and berries, singing a song together: “The bear in the forest has berries, I pick mushrooms, But the bear is no longer sleeping, He is looking at us! The basket overturned - the bear attacked us.” The “bear” quickly jumps up and begins to catch the children who are running away from him. Whoever the “bear” catches takes his place.
20. Owl
The driver stands out - “owl”. The players are on the playground, and the “owl” is in the nest (a designated place for this). At the signal “The day is coming,” children, imitating the flight of butterflies, dragonflies, birds, beetles and “turning” into other animals, frolic, trying to most accurately show who they are portraying.At the command “Night is coming,” all players must “freeze” in the position in which it caught them. The “owl” goes out “to hunt” and takes those who move to the nest.
At the signal “The day is coming,” the “owl” goes into the nest, and the players “come to life” again. “Owl” changes after 2-3 games.
21. Wolf in the ditch
In the middle of the site there are two parallel lines about a meter wide. The “ditch” can be lined with skipping ropes. One or two “wolves” are selected. They stand in the ditch. All other players - “goats” - are placed on one side of the site, in the “pasture”.
At a signal, the “goats” run to the other side, jumping over the ditch. "Wolves" Without leaving the ditch, they try to kill as many “goats” as possible.
The donated “goats” are counted and the game continues. “Wolves” change after 2-3 runs.
22. Seine
Two of the players are “fishermen”, the rest are “fish”. “Fishermen”, holding hands, catch “fish”, surrounding and hands free. The caught “fish” join the “fishermen” - the “net” increases. Fishing continues until there are 2-3 uncaught “fish” left.
"A hare without a home." The players, except for the two drivers, become pairs facing each other, join hands and position themselves around the court. Between the pairs there is a third one - a “bunny”.
One of the drivers is the “hare”, the other is the “hunter”. The "hare", escaping from persecution, stands in the middle of the pair, displacing the "bunny" located there.
If the one chasing has stained the one escaping, they change roles.
All players form a circle, and one of them stands in the center and closes his eyes.
Children, holding hands, walk in a circle to the right (left) and say:
So we lined up around
Turned around suddenly
.
At these last words, everyone releases their hands and turns 360 degrees, continuing to move in the same direction.
How about we say:
Skok, skok, skok,
Guess whose voice it is.
The words “skok, skok, skok” are spoken by one who was chosen in advance.
The person standing in the center opens his eyes and tries to guess who said the words “jump, juice, jump.” If the driver guessed right, he goes to the middle. If the driver does not guess correctly, he continues to drive - stand in the middle of the circle.
We play these interesting outdoor games for children outside in the spring, summer, and fall. What children's games do you play with your children on a walk? Share in the comments!
Game is the main method used by teachers for psychological correction of children’s behavior. Outdoor games for children are important in life, being a natural need of the body, one of the key types joint activities. With their help, you can identify character traits, determine effective methods impact on the child’s personality.
Play is the leading type of activity up to the age of 8-9 years; with skillful correction by parents or other adults, outdoor games for children can work wonders.
Also precisely in gameplay the child learns about the surrounding reality and acquires all the necessary skills. That is, one should not treat children’s games as a useless activity that only distracts from “serious” activities, such as reading or writing.
The benefits of outdoor games for a child
Play for children is a method of learning about the world and education, study and work at the same time. Through it, children touch the world of adults, instill spiritual values, and learn the norms of the society in which they live.
Its importance is difficult to overestimate, because children's outdoor games:
- help the child develop harmoniously: physically, intellectually, socially and emotionally;
- carry out labor, spiritual and aesthetic education, while children do not notice the impact and do not resist the formation of skills and abilities;
- create a joyful atmosphere, evoke positive emotions, provide “relaxation”, give a feeling of celebration,
- relieves fears; through play, preschoolers and children of primary and secondary school age become more sociable. That is why a child who has enough movement in everyday life- running, jumping, climbing, etc., better perceives learning “at a desk”;
- help to make the child’s relationship with an adult trusting;
- develop the ability to interact in a team, train ingenuity, resourcefulness, dexterity, the desire to achieve a goal, win, etc.
- help increase self-esteem;
- develop auditory attention, the ability to listen and obey certain rules, consolidate knowledge about objects, phenomena, representatives of the animal and plant world;
- They identify leaders in the group, “bright minds” and guys bursting with ideas.
The more diverse the range of movements performed by a child in play, the richer the motor experience, the more data enters the brain, which contributes to the mental development of the child.
Children can improve their symptoms with regular physical activity. mental operations, increase memory capacity, switch faster from one type of activity to another, develop quick switching and focusing.
A child who often plays in a kindergarten group or with peers and adults on the street and at home usually has a wonderful appetite, good sleep and mood, he gains dexterity.
Constant movements:
- help strengthen the musculoskeletal system;
- develop coordination and motor skills;
- provide synthesis of protein compounds in muscles, promoting their growth;
- lead to intensification of physiological processes in the child’s body;
- improve work internal systems and organs.
Children develop better physically, suffer less from ARVI, are stronger and more confident than their “non-playing” peers. Badminton, tennis, football, roller skating and cycling, snowball fights, hide and seek and others active games help to develop the child harmoniously and protect him from diseases.
An adult who plays outdoor games for preschoolers with his children also receives a sufficient amount of physical activity.
Psychological aspect
Game of preschoolers and junior schoolchildren characterized by a variety of emotions - from surprise to delight, etc. This provides the opportunity to use gaming activities in correcting the mental state of children.
Many experts emphasized the existence of the psychological aspect of games in their works, emphasizing that the meaning of entertainment lies in experiences that are important for the child.
During the game, the ideas that were formed during the accumulation of the child’s life experience are transformed. The formation of activity in the game leads to the emergence and development of emotions, which is reflected in its content.
Outdoor games for preschoolers: popular fun
For many parents and teachers in kindergartens, the problem of conducting outdoor games with children is relevant. This is not surprising, because preschoolers are full of energy, it needs to be spent, and games are the ideal solution in this case.
Let's list a few fun activities that can be practiced outdoors and indoors if the weather does not allow long walks in the fresh air.
On the street
"Freeze"
On a court measuring at least 10 x 10 meters, this game can be played by 3 players or more. First, a wizard is chosen. The participants scatter in different directions, the wizard tries to catch up and cast a spell on someone.
The one touched by the wizard freezes, as if frozen. Others can disenchant it by touching the “frozen” with their hand. But the wizard does not want to let the captive go, and when someone brought him out of captivity, he again tries to catch up and cast his spell on the one who wants to help his friend.
If a player is enchanted 3 times, he becomes a wizard in this fun game.
"Sparrows and the cat"
On the ground with a stick (or on the asphalt with chalk) “nests” are drawn in the form of circles. The “sparrows” are in “nests” on one side of the site, and on the other side there is a “cat”. When he falls asleep, the “sparrows” fly out of the “nest” and look for grains. The “cat” wakes up and begins to chase the “sparrows” who want to occupy their “nests”.
At first, the “cat” can be an adult, then one of the children. The one who is caught becomes a “cat” himself.
"Sparrows and the Machine"
Another variation of the popular game. The “sparrows” are in the “nest” (on the bench). A “car” is chosen from among the players. When the presenter says: “The sparrows have flown out of the nest,” the guys jump up and run around the site. After the phrase: “The car has left! Sparrows, fly to the nest! - the “car” left its parking lot, and the children ran to the bench.
"Across the Stream"
On the site, draw 2 lines 2 meters from one another. From one line to another, pebbles are drawn on the ground with chalk or a stick, much like in a game of hopscotch.
The players stand at the first line - on the bank of a stream, their goal is to end up at the second line, jumping over the stones without getting their feet wet. The one who jumped past the pebble goes home to dry his feet and sits down on a bench.
The winner was the one who ended up at the second line without missing the pebbles even once.
"The Bear and the Bees"
Players are divided into 2 teams - “bees” and “bears”. At the beginning, the “bees” are in the “hives” (they can be a ladder or a bench), and the “bears” are in the “den”. At the command of an adult, the “bees” fly away, and the “bears” get to the “hives” to enjoy the honey.
At the signal “Bears are in the hives!” The “bees” fly into the “hives” and “sting” the “bears” who did not have time to run to the “den”. The “bear” who was stung by a “bee” does not go to feast on honey, but remains to “treat his wounds in the den.”
Indoors
The indoor games for kids listed below are suitable for toddlers aged 2 years and up.
"Dog"
They choose a dog from a group of guys and lead it on a leash, giving its commands.
"Traffic"
We draw the road on sheet A2 or A1 with large strokes of gouache or watercolor paint. When it dries, we set the toy car on the roads.
"Skittles"
Children place blocks on the carpet and then knock them down using a ball.
"Running with a ball in a spoon"
Ball for table tennis put in a teaspoon and run along a certain leading route, holding it in the spoon.
"Snake"
Children run after each other. The leader commands what the players should do, for example, crawl around the sofa or do somersaults in pursuit of the leader.
"Goal!"
Using a string, we mark the gate on the carpet or floor. We throw table tennis balls at the goal from a distance determined by the leader. For each goal the player receives 1 point.
"The mice dance in circles"
First, they choose a “cat” who is looking for a “stove” (stool, chair) for himself, then sits in the center of the circle and closes his eyes. Other participants in the game take each other’s hands and begin to dance in a circle, repeating: “The mice are dancing in a circle, the cat is dozing on the stove. Quiet, mice, don’t make noise, don’t wake up Vaska the cat!”
When the last words are said, the cat makes “stretches”, opens its eyes and begins to catch mice. The player who is caught becomes a cat himself, and the game starts all over again.
Outdoor games for schoolchildren help children become more dexterous, show resourcefulness, and the ability to interact in a team. IN modern world With the cult of gadgets, it is important that children move a lot, they develop an interest in folk entertainment, and strengthen relationships between children. All this is facilitated by entertainment, which will be discussed below.
On the street
"Deer Catching"
2 shepherds are chosen, the rest of the game participants will be deer, being inside the circle. The shepherd is beyond the line. At a signal, 2 shepherds alternately throw the ball at the deer, who dodge the throws. A deer that is hit by a ball is caught and is out of the game.
"Fishing rod"
The players stand in a circle. In the center, the driver holds a skipping rope or rope, at its end there is a bag into which sand is poured. It is necessary to rotate the rope above the ground, and for the children to jump so that the rope does not touch their legs. Those whom she hurt leave the circle.
"3rd wheel"
Players walk hand in hand in pairs in a circle, with a two-meter distance between them. Choose 2 drivers: one catches up, the second runs away and can stand in front of any of the pairs. When this happens, the player of the pair in front of whom he stood becomes the one who is being caught up. If the player is caught up and insulted, the drivers change their roles.
Indoors
"Crocodile"
Players are divided into 2 teams. In one, they think of a word (“Crocodile”) and choose a player from the other team to whom they name it. Then he explains the word to his team, not by naming it, but by demonstrating it through facial expressions, gesturing, taking various intricate poses, and dancing. The word can be shown in parts or in full, using gestures to “say”: “yes”, “I don’t know”, “no”.
Many schoolchildren named “Crocodile” among the most popular and favorite games played at New Year, birthday and other holidays.
"Take a chair"
To organize, you need to arrange the chairs in a circle with their backs facing inward (one less than the number of participants), the players must stand around the chairs. The driver turns on music or plays some instrument; it is better that he does not see what is happening at the same time.
Participants run in a circle near the chairs. When the music stops playing, the participant must quickly take a chair. If he does not get a chair, he leaves the circle. 1 chair is removed, the game continues until 1 participant remains, he is the winner.
Preschool children play for hours, creating a variety of fun activities. Some types of games need to be learned under the guidance of a parent or teacher, to be played with groups of children or individually.
- It is recommended that you take the time to get to know new game, if the previous one has been mastered and an adult no longer needs to control its progress.
- New games should be learned no more than once a week, the rest of the time reinforced famous games. The repertoire can be expanded by remembering folk games or having fun with music, as well as inventing them yourself.
- Always ask your child what he would like to play. Analyze what games he prefers, what topics he touches on most often?
