Dating games “Snowball. Snowball

This game is best played at the “getting to know each other”, when the guys sit in a large, close circle. The counselor should start the game by saying his name. The person sitting to his left must say the name of the counselor and his own. The next one further clockwise will have to name the two previous names, his own, and so on in a circle. The counselor must again finish by calling the entire squad by name. Everything is in a circle. One person says his name, quality with the same letter and shows a gesture. The second person repeats everything about the first and identifies himself: name, quality and gesture, etc. At the end, everyone repeats in chorus about everyone. The task is difficult, but realistic and doable. Try it - success is guaranteed.

The presenter says his name. The next player says the leader's name and his own name. The third player calls the names of the previous ones and his own, and so on in a circle. The most difficult thing will be for the last player - he will have to name the names of everyone present.

Please note that sometimes children try to memorize just a sequence of names in order to repeat them accurately, like parrots. To avoid this, during the game, focus their attention on the remarkableness of each player (“This is such a smiling Igor,” “Very nice, Sveta with wonderful hairpins”)
The game can be lengthened and complicated if, on the second round, each participant says not only his name, but also what he will need on the desert island. It's long but fun.

For example: “This is Kostya, on a desert island he can cook food for everyone. This is Lesha, he will light a fire for us. Denis will give us a clown show, Sasha will boss everyone around, Anya and Nastya will make our home beautiful, Ksyusha will tell us what happened before, Ignat will organize sports competitions, Vera and Masha will chat on the phone, and Partridge will help everyone medical care" It might turn out funny, and everyone will quickly remember each other. Another option is com-toon.

The squad stands in a circle. In turn, everyone says loudly their name and any association associated with it or the quality of their person, starting with the first letter of their name. The next person repeats and says his name. The last one to say his name is the counselor. Having previously named the names of all the guys. The association can be an adjective, an animal, a movie character, a gesture, and so on.

Alternatively, the squad can repeat in chorus.

Option with movements: also everyone stands in a circle. In turn, everyone takes a step inside the circle, simultaneously says their name and shows the movement that characterizes it. After this, everyone repeats the name and movement of the person showing twice.

According to traditional rules. associations by adjectives (when each child, in addition to his name, names an adjective starting with the same letter as his name, which characterizes him in his opinion); associations of animals, plants (the same thing, only instead of adjectives - the name); “repeat me” (the participant, calling the name, walks out into the circle with a peculiar gait, or makes some funny movement and returns to his place. Everyone else must repeat “his” gait or movement after the participant).

The first person says his name, the second repeats the name of the first and says his, the third repeats the name of the first, second and says his. You can play the game in this order: name + adjective with the same letter; name + noun; name + verb; name + movement.

In the circle, the first participant says his name, the second - the name of the first participant and his own, the third - the names of all previous participants and his own, and so on until the turn again reaches the first participant, who calls the names of everyone. This game has various variations. For example, you can add various objects or character qualities to a name that begin with the same letter: Masha - wise, Sasha - brave, etc.

The players sit in a circle. The first player says his name. Each next player must say the names of the players sitting in front of him who said their names, and then their name. When the host’s turn comes again, he calls the names of all the players. This game has several variations. We're going on a hike. The player, having said his name, names an item starting with the first letter of his name, which he can take with him on a hike. For example:<Меня зовут Катя, я иду в поход и беру с собой компас>. Then the next player says:<Меня зовут Сережа, я иду в поход и беру с собой спальник, а ещё Катю с компасом>, etc. Hello, Katya. The player says his name and shows any gesture. All players say his name in unison and repeat the proposed gesture. I love to do. The player says his name and favorite activity. The next player states his attitude to the named matter, then introduces himself and says what he likes. For example:<Как, я люблю танцевать, не умею играть на гитаре, как Андрей. Меня зовут Рома и я люблю играть в футбол>.

The players stand or sit in a circle, facing inward. The one who starts the game says his name loudly. The one who follows him, either clockwise or counterclockwise, loudly calls his name and himself, the next one names first the first two, then himself. And so on, the task of everyone in the circle is to name all the previous ones, and then themselves. You can agree and add to the name a characteristic quality, or a mood, or a favorite character, or a book-film, a favorite color or dish and a lot of other things, and you can also offer add a gesture characterizing this person to the name (there is a very interesting and exciting game, which took place in the 4th lesson of the Courses).. But when large quantities Participants Snowball can be very drawn out, so if there are more than 15-20 participants, then it makes sense to split into two or three circles, play at the same time, and then play again, mixing the lineup. It is very important to play dynamically, but not to overdo it...

The players stand in a circle. One of the players starts, calling his name, the next one calls the name of the previous one, then his own, etc. (1 Anya, 2- Anya, Masha, 3- Anya, Masha, Petya)

Participants join hands to form a circle. The first player starts the game by saying his name. The second participant repeats the name of the first participant in a circle and says his own. The third participant repeats the names of the first two and says his name. And so the game continues until the last person names all the names, including his own.

The group stands in a circle and the first one says their name. The second one says the name of the first one and his own. The third is the name of the first, the second and your own. Along with your name, you can depict your favorite gesture, name your favorite drink, personal quality(option - starting with the first letter of the name), hobby, etc.

The players sit in a circle. The counselor says his name (and definition - Vyacheslav is strong, Maria is sexy). The person sitting to his left says the name of the counselor and his own. The next one further clockwise names the two previous names and his own. And so on. The counselor must finish by calling the entire squad by name. The game can be complicated by calling names from the middle, from the end.

Game in a circle. The first one says any word, the person sitting next to him repeats it and says his word in last letter first. The third player repeats all the previous words and names his own according to the same principle, etc. in a circle. Those who make a mistake are eliminated from the game (or not).

Music is playing. In the center of the hall, in the circle of game participants, only one couple dances. After 8 or 16 bars, the leader of the dance evening stops the music by clapping his hands. The dancers turn to face the participants of the evening standing in a circle and quickly choose a partner. This must be done before the manager claps his hands twice (an interval of 3-10 seconds), after which the second invitation to dance follows and two couples are already dancing in a circle. The clap is heard again - a command to stop the dance. A short selection of new partners, and 4 couples are already dancing. The game continues, and the number of dancers grows like a snowball. Finally the moment comes when everyone dances.

A group of concepts is limited by a certain condition. The first player names any word from this group, the second repeats the word that the first player named and adds his own word to it. The third player repeats the previous two words and adds a third, etc. Whoever makes a mistake is out of the game. The last player remaining is declared the winner.

Game example:

1st player: "Oak."

2nd player: “Oak, aspen.”

3rd player: "Oak, aspen, maple."

4th player: "Oak, aspen, maple, birch."

5th player: "Oak, aspen, maple, birch, linden."

6th player: "Oak, aspen, maple, birch, linden, alder." etc.

Everyone stands in a circle. The first person says his name and quality to the first letter of the name (flower, animal, etc.). The next one repeats what the first one said, and names his name and quality with the first letter of his name, and so on in a circle until the first person.

10-30 people, strangers to each other, play. The first person says his name. The second person says the first person's name, then his own. The third is the name of the first, the second, your own. And so on until the last person (he must have a good memory!) The game can be made more interesting if you add an adjective to each name starting with the first letter of the name. For example: artistic Anya, mysterious Tanya, Lazy Lesha, etc.

Everyone stands in a circle. The first person says his name and quality to the first letter of the name (flower, animal, etc.). The next one repeats what the first one said and names his name and quality with the first letter of his name, and so on in a circle until the first person.

Goal: presenting your name and remembering the names of other participants in the game. Time: 5-7 min. Number of participants: from 8 to 30. Venue: any, but participants must sit together in a circle. The counselor explains the rules: “Friends, now we will try to get to know everyone together. To do this, you need to be very attentive.

And so on". 1 person Petya; 2 people Petya, Vasya; 3 people Petya, Vasya, Lena; 4 people Petya, Vasya, Lena, Olya...

It is advisable that the counselor be the last and correctly, without mistakes, name all the names of the children (winning the favor of the group). Options for this game: 1. say your name and make some movement; 2. name + word with which you are associated; 3. name + word, object that you like starting with the same letter.

The game is played clockwise. The host starts the game. It is better if he has some object in his hands. The presenter says his name and passes the item in his hands to the player sitting (standing) to his left. The second player calls the leader’s name, his name and passes the item on. The third one names the names of previous players and his own, etc. The last player will have the hardest time - he must correctly pronounce the names of all participants in the game and not forget to say his own.

The players sit in a circle. The first one says his name, the second one says the name of the first one and his own. The third names the previous two and his own, and so on until the first names the names of all players. The game can be complicated by calling names from the middle, from the end.

The pair is determined that the first word-code belongs, for example, to participant "A", and the second word - code - to participant "B". Codes are announced to all participants in the game so that they are not repeated. Participants “A” stand on the opposite side of the playing area, change places with each other and are blindfolded.

"Associations"

The players choose someone from those present. The driver must guess it. To do this, he asks questions: “Suppose the person you have in mind will be furniture. What object does it remind you of?” Analyzing the answers of the players, the driver tries to find out who the mystery is. An interesting option is when the driver himself is guessed. Associations are given both by a person’s appearance and by his character.

This game is played at a very late stage.

"Imaginary Portrait"

Partners interview each other about names, places of residence, jobs, ages, hobbies, expectations, pets, etc. The host sets the time. Then partner "A" introduces partner "B" to everyone present. In the partner's presentation, the whole group is told 4 facts (events, details, details) that one of the partners finds most interesting. One detail out of four is fictitious. The entire group present must guess the fictitious information.

"False coat of arms"

A group of children is divided into pairs. Each pair receives colored pencils, markers, and sheets of paper from the leader. There may be ready-made outlines of the coat of arms on sheets of paper. Each participant draws 4 images inside the coat of arms (what is characteristic of him is characteristic). 3 - correct, real, 1 - false, fictitious, not characteristic of the participant. Each couple carefully studies the painted coat of arms of their partner and tries to recognize (guess) the false image. Next step of the game: The whole group of children gathers together. Partners from each couple present (comment on) each other’s coats of arms as plausibly as possible. The goal of the whole group is to guess which of the 4 images on each coat of arms is false.

"Duel of Names"

The group of children is divided into 2 subgroups. They (subgroups) are located opposite each other. The leader and assistant hold the blanket between the groups so that the subgroups do not see each other. In silence, each subgroup chooses one player. They must sneak up to the sheet and squat down facing it. At a signal, the presenters quickly lower the sheet. Two participants who are sitting opposite each other must say the name of the player opposite each other as quickly as possible. Whoever calls the name first has the right to take the player with him to his team.

"Passport"

Each child receives the task of making a passport (cardboard card), using which all participants in the game can learn more and get to know each other.

The passport contains small information about the passport holder (5 - 8 facts). Every fact (appearance, interests, details from personal life) is described in one sentence. The finished passports are placed in a large hat or box and mixed. Each participant pulls out one passport and, based on the data described in it, tries to find out who they are talking about. The contents of all passports are read aloud and all participants in the game try to find out who they are talking about.

"Imaginary Portrait"

Partners interview each other about names, places of residence, jobs, ages, hobbies, expectations, pets, etc. The host sets the time. Then partner "A" introduces partner "B" to everyone present. In the partner's presentation, the entire group is told 4 facts (events, details, details) that one of the partners finds most interesting. One detail out of four is fictitious. The entire group present must guess the fictitious information.

"Tickets"

The players stand facing each other, forming two circles. You can do this: girls - inner circle, boys - outer circle.

The inner circle is “tickets”, the outer circle is “passengers”. In the center there is a stowaway “hare”. At the command of the leader, the circles begin to move in different directions. The presenter shouts: “controller”! Tickets remain in place, and passengers must find their match. The “hare” grabs the “ticket” that he liked. The "passenger" left without a ticket becomes the driver - the "Hare". When meeting, the “passenger” and the “ticket” get acquainted. After some time, the “passenger” can catch not only his own, but also any “ticket” he likes. The game can be accompanied by music.

"Agents 007"

Each participant is given a can of film. There may be some inside (for example, pebbles, sand, salt, flour, etc.). The participants’ task is to find their match by the sound without opening the jar.

Snowball

There are a lot of games that will help people of any age have fun, and there are games that develop intelligence or help you get comfortable in a new company. TO similar types entertainment includes the game “Snowball”, which helps develop memory and gets acquainted with a group of even 30 people in a playful way.

How to play the Snowball game?

The rules of the game “Snowball” are quite simple and have a lot of variations. The main principle of the game is that words accumulate in the process, like a snowball.

For a group of unfamiliar people, the rules of the game “Snowball” look like this:

The presenter says his name.
The next player repeats the name of the previous player and says his name. So, moving around the circle, the number of names becomes larger and larger, and the last player must list the names of all participants.
You can complicate the game by adding, for example, a profession to the name. This game will last longer, but it will become more interesting.

You can add activity to the game, then the rules of the game “Snowball” will look like this:

The first one takes a step inside the circle, while saying the owl’s name and making any movement, the whole circle repeats the movement after him.
The next participant does the same, calling the name of the previous player and repeating his movement.
Gradually, the players list the names of all participants and repeat the entire set of movements that the previous participants made.

In this version, the game “Snowball” becomes fun and develops not only memory and associative thinking, but also helps to train the body a little.

If the company knows each other's names well, then the name snowball game will not be interesting, because everyone can simply list familiar names sequentially. In this case, it is better to choose any category of objects, animals or plants. For example, kitchen equipment. And using the same principle, make a chain of names.

And if after one round, the participants have not yet played enough, you can leave all the previous conditions and simply rearrange the players.
