You run, funny ball,

Quickly, quickly, hands over.

Who has a funny ball?

He jumps up on his own!

The one who has the ball on the word “himself” begins to jump, and the children accompany his jumps with the words: “One, two, three!”

Be careful

Children form a circle. The teacher throws the ball randomly to the players. The person who catches the ball returns it, naming an object that helps to be clean, neat, and take care of oneself./p>

Take care of your hands

The players form a circle, standing one step apart from each other. The teacher appoints one driver, who stands in the middle of the circle.

Children stretch their arms forward, palms up.

At the teacher’s signal: “Take care of your hands!” The driver tries to touch the palms of one of the players.

As soon as a child standing in a circle notices that the driver wants to touch his hands, he immediately hides them behind his back.

Those children whose palms are touched by the driver are considered losers. When 2-3 losers appear, the driver chooses another child in his place (but not from among the losers) and changes places with him.

Magic word

The leader shows various movements and addresses the players with the words: “Raise your hands, stand, sit down, stand on your tiptoes, walk in place...”, etc.

The players repeat the movements only if the driver adds the word “please”. The one who makes a mistake is out of the game.

Hot hands

Children form a circle.

The driver stands in the center of the circle. The players standing around him raise their hands to waist level and hold them with their palms up.

The driver strives to slap someone in the palm of his hand. The players, fleeing, quickly give up. The one whom the driver insults becomes the driver.

If there are a lot of players, there can be two or three people driving. Players do not have to remove their hands, but turn them palms down.

The game is more lively when the driver tries to quickly move around the circle in different directions.

Gawkers

Children form a circle and walk in a circle one after another.

At the driver’s signal: “Stop!” stop, clap their hands four times, turn 180° and start moving in reverse side. The one who makes the mistake leaves the game.

Earth, water, air

Children sit in a circle or in a row.

The presenter walks between them and, pointing at each in turn, says the word: “Water!” The child he pointed to must name a fish or animal that lives in the water.

If the driver says the word “earth,” the child names the one who lives on the earth, if the word “air” is named, the one who flies.

Golden Gate

Two presenters are appointed. They stand up, holding hands, and raise them up, showing the gate. All other participants pass through the gate, saying:

Golden Gate

They don't always miss.

Saying goodbye for the first time

The second time is prohibited,

And for the third time

We won't let you through.

The presenters lower their hands at the end of the verse. In front of whom the gate is closed, that participant stands together with the presenters and raises their hands.

The game continues until all participants turn into gates.

Hippodrome

The horse runs and runs. (We clap our hands on our knees.)

The horse is walking on the grass. (Three palms of hands.)

And here is a barrier (We take air into our mouth and hit our cheeks.)

And another barrier...

Actions change. The game is repeated several times.

Paints

Children choose the “owner” and two “customers”; everyone else playing chooses “colors”.

Each paint comes up with a color for itself and quietly names it to its owner. When all the paints have chosen a color, the owner invites one of the buyers.

The buyer knocks:

- Knock Knock!

- Who's there?

- Buyer.

- Why did you come?

- For paint.

- For which one?

- For the blue one.

If there is no blue paint, the owner says:

Walk the blue path

Find the blue boots

Carry it and bring it back!

If the buyer guesses the color of the paint, he takes the paint for himself.

The second buyer approaches, the conversation with the owner is repeated. So customers go through the line and sort out the paints.

The buyer who guesses the most colors wins.

When the game is repeated, he acts as the owner, and the players choose the buyers.

The buyer should not repeat the same paint color twice, otherwise he gives up his turn to the second buyer.

ring

Children stand in a circle, and the driver stands inside the circle. He holds a ring in his palms, which he discreetly tries to pass on to one of the guys. With palms folded into a boat, the driver opens the children’s palms one by one. Children carefully monitor the actions of the driver and their comrades. And the one who got the ring does not give himself away.

At the driver’s signal: “Ring, ring, go out onto the porch!” - a child with a ring runs out into the center of the circle. He becomes the driver.

If the children notice his ring before the signal, they do not let him into the circle. In this case, the game is continued by the previous driver.

Circle

Children form a circle, dance in a circle and say:

Kru-kru-circle,

Play the horn

One two Three -

Tanya, turn over!

The girl (boy) named by name must turn 180°. Game continues.

Who left?

Children stand in a circle or semicircle.

The teacher invites one of the players to remember those who are nearby (5-6 people), and then leave the room or turn away and close their eyes.

One child is hiding.

The teacher says: “Guess who left?” If the child guesses correctly, he chooses someone instead of himself. If he makes a mistake, he turns away again and closes his eyes, and the one who was hiding returns to his place. The guesser must name it.

Who has arrived?

Children stand in a circle or scattered.

The teacher shows the movements and pronounces the text, the children repeat the movements.

Who has arrived? (Put the palms and fingers of both hands together, clap the tips of the thumbs 4 times.)

We, we, we! (The tips of the thumbs are pressed against each other and motionless, the tips of the remaining fingers quickly and simultaneously clap 3 times.)

Mom, mom, is that you? (Clap with the tips of their thumbs.)

Yes Yes Yes! (Clap with the tips of their index fingers.)

Dad, dad, is that you? (Clap with the tips of their thumbs.)

Yes Yes Yes! (Clap with the tips of your middle fingers.)

Brother, brother, is that you?

Oh, little sister, is that you? (Clap with the tips of their thumbs.)

Yes Yes Yes! (Clap with the tips of their ring fingers.)

Grandfather, is that you?

Grandma, is that you? (Clap with the tips of their thumbs.)

Yes Yes Yes! (Clap the tips of our little fingers.)

We are all together

Yes Yes Yes! (Clap our hands.)

Lavata

Children form a circle.

Without holding hands, children move with side steps, first in one direction, and when repeating the words - in the other direction, saying:

Together we dance -

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

Our favorite dance -

This is lavata.

The presenter says: “My fingers are good, but my neighbor’s are better.” Children take each other's little fingers and repeat the words with movements left and right.

Then the driver gives other tasks:

My shoulders are good, but my neighbor's are better.

My ears are good, but my neighbor's are better.

My eyes are good, but my neighbor's are better.

My cheeks are good, but my neighbor's are better.

My waist is good, but my neighbor's is better.

My knees are good, but my neighbor's are better.

My heels are good, but my neighbor's are better.

Palms

Two players stand opposite each other.

The players simultaneously clap their hands, and then join their palms in front of them (right to left, left to right). Then the palms are connected crosswise - right to right, left to left. Then clap - and again the palms are together.

At first the movements are done slowly, and then faster and faster until the palms become tangled. Then the game starts over.

Frog

Place your hands on the floor (table). Clench one palm into a fist, place the other on the plane of the table.

At the same time change the position of your hands. The complication of the exercise is to speed it up.

We walked around Africa

Children stand in a circle or scattered.

The teacher shows the movements and pronounces the text, the children repeat the movements.

We walked around Africa (We stomp our feet.)

And they collected bananas. (They depict how bananas are collected.)

Suddenly a huge gorilla (We draw a large circle with our hands.)

Almost crushed me. (Knock on the chest with our right and left hands.)

I’ll give it to mom, I’ll give it to dad (Knock on the right, then the left knee.)

Just need it

We need to find out: (Clap for every word.)

Who will have the ball (They stomp on every word.)

Catching up. (They squat.)

Find and remain silent

Children stand in a line facing the teacher.

He invites them to turn around and close their eyes, while he hides some object.

With the permission of the teacher, the children turn around, open their eyes and begin to search for the hidden object. The person who finds the object approaches the teacher and quietly says in his ear where he found it. If the child said correctly, he moves aside.

The game continues until all children find the object.

Low - high

Children stand in a circle.

The adult says: “We decorated the Christmas tree with different toys, and in the forest there are different Christmas trees: wide, low, tall, thin. I will say:

“High” - raise your arms up;

“Low” - squat and lower your arms;

“Wide” - make the circle wider;

“Thin” - make a circle already.

The game is more fun if the adult tries to confuse the children.

Mail

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

- Ding, ding, ding!

- Who's there?

- Where?

- From the land of fairy tales.

- What are they doing there?

- They wash themselves (dance, draw, run, comb their hair, squat, smile, etc.).

The players imitate or perform the named action.

Five names

Children are divided into two teams.

Two players, a boy and a girl (representatives of two teams), stand next to each other in front of two lines.

At the signal, they must walk forward (first one, then the other), taking five steps, and for each step, without the slightest mistake or hesitation (without breaking the rhythm), say a name (boys - girls' names, girls - boys' names). This is a seemingly simple task, but in reality it is not so easy to complete.

You can name five other words (animals, plants, household items, etc.). There are many names, but not everyone can pick up five names and pronounce them one after another without delay in the rhythm of a step.

The winner is the one who copes with this task or is able to name more names.

Edible - inedible

Children stand in a circle.

The driver says the word and throws the ball to the player.

If the word denotes food (fruits, vegetables, sweets, dairy, meat and other products), then the child to whom the ball was thrown must catch it (“eat”). If the word denotes an inedible object, the ball is not caught.

A child who fails to complete the task becomes the driver, says the intended word and throws the ball to someone.

Tick-tock-tock

The children stand scattered.

The teacher gives the signal: “Tick!” - children bend left and right; at the signal: “Yes!” - they stop, and at the signal: “Knock!” — they jump on the spot. The one who makes a mistake leaves the game. The signals are repeated 5-8 times. The sequence of signals must change.

At the end of the game, the most attentive player should be noted.

Three, thirteen, thirty

They choose a driver. The players stand in a circle and open with outstretched arms. The driver stands in the center of the circle. When playing the game for the first time, it is advisable that the teacher be the driver.

The teacher explains that if he says: “Three,” all the players put their hands to the sides; if he says: “Thirteen,” everyone puts their hands on their belts; if he says: “Thirty” - everyone raises their hands up (you can choose any movements).

The teacher quickly names one movement or another. The player who made a mistake sits on the floor. When 1-2 players remain in the circle, the game ends; The winners are announced.

Free place

The players sit in a circle.

The teacher calls two children sitting next to each other. They stand with their backs to each other and at the signal: “One, two, three - run!” - they run in different directions around the circle, reach their place and sit down.

The adult and all the players note which of the children was the first to take the empty seat.

Then the teacher calls the other two children, the game is repeated.

Sit, sit, Yasha

Children form a circle.

In the center of the circle is a blindfolded child. The rest of the players, holding hands, walk in a circle and say:

Sit, sit, Yasha,

Under a walnut bush.

Gnaw, gnaw, Yasha,

Roasted nuts

Gifted to the sweetheart.

Children stop and clap their hands:

Chock, chock, piglet,

Get up, little man Yasha.

The child driver stands up and slowly spins inside the circle.

Where is your bride

What is she wearing?

What is her name

And where will they bring it from?

WITH last words“Yasha” goes to the children, selects any child, feels him and tries to guess who he found, describe his clothes and call him by name.

Guess what they did

Children stand in a circle or scattered. The teacher selects one child who moves 8-10 steps away from everyone playing and turns his back to them. He must guess what the players are doing.

Children agree on what action they will portray. According to the teacher: “It’s time!” The driver turns around, approaches the players and says:

Hello children!

Where have you been?

What did you see?

Children answer:

We won’t say what we saw,

And we’ll show you what they did.

If the driver guesses correctly, he chooses another child instead. If he answers incorrectly, the game is repeated with the same driver.

Claps

Children move freely around the hall (playground).

On one clap from the driver they should jump, on two claps they should sit down, on three clap they should stand up with their arms raised up (or any other movement options).

All children depict some action, for example, playing the accordion, riding horses, etc. The driver guesses the action being depicted. If the driver does not guess correctly, then he loses. The children tell him what they did and come up with a new action. The driver guesses again.

Then another driver is chosen and the game is repeated.

Clean

Children stand in a circle or scattered.

Interesting educational games for children from 3 to 5 years old. All games are accompanied detailed description. Games for outdoor and indoor play. Educational games for preschoolers.

Zainka

The game is best played outdoors in the summer. To begin with, a driver is chosen - a bunny. All participants stand in a circle and join hands, the bunny is in the center. Then the children begin to sing a song, twirling in a round dance in one direction or the other.

Bunny performs movements to the song.

Bunny, dance, He dances and jumps.

Gray, jump.

Turn around, sideways, Spinning.

Turn around, sideways!

Bunny, clap your hands, Claps his hands. Demonstrates

Gray, clap your hands! wearing a caftan.

Iron fasteners. Touches the hands of the players,

There is somewhere for the hare to run out, and the children raise their closed hands

There is room for the gray one to jump out... hands to release him from the circle and then let him back in.

Option 1. While the choir is singing, the bunny, moving freely in a circle, chooses a replacement from among the round dance participants: a boy - a girl, and a girl - a boy. Sometimes the bunny approaches the chosen player and begins to dance with him, and at the end of the dance takes his place. The new bunny becomes the center of the round dance, and the game is repeated.

Option 2. Bunny makes active attempts to break out of the circle, but the children in the round dance do not let him out. During round dance and singing, children should move so that the distance to the person standing in the center does not change. During the game, the bunny tries to get closer to them. The round dance participants do not let him approach them by waving their hands. When the bunny manages to get closer, he tries to break out of the circle.

Option 3. Gradually, the rhythm of the song and dance should accelerate and turn into dance. Towards the end of the song, when all the participants are dancing, the bunny must choose a moment and try to jump out of the circle. If he succeeds, everyone rushes to catch him. The one who catches the player becomes the next stunner, and the game continues.

Fox and chickens

Children pretend to be chickens. One of the players is a rooster, the other is a fox. Chickens walk around the site, looking for food. The fox watches them closely. At the teacher’s direction (unnoticed by everyone), the fox comes out and quietly creeps up to the chickens. The rooster screams loudly: “Ku-ka-re-ku!” The chickens run away and fly up to a roost (log, bench). The rooster must escape last. The fox catches the chickens that did not have time to quickly climb onto the perch and stay on it. After 2-3 games, other children are chosen to play the roles of the rooster and the fox.

Crested hen

The teacher depicts a chicken, the children - chickens. One child sits on a bench away from the others. This is a cat dozing in the sun. The mother hen goes out for a walk with the chicks.

By the bear in the forest

A game for the little ones. From all the participants in the game, one driver is chosen, who is appointed as a bear. Two circles are drawn on the playing area. The first circle is the bear's den, the second is the home for all other participants in the game.

The game begins, and the children leave the house saying:

By the bear in the forest

I take mushrooms and berries.

But the bear doesn't sleep

And he growls at us.

After the children say these words, the bear runs out of the den and tries to catch one of the children. Whoever does not have time to escape into the house becomes a bear and goes to the den.

Mousetrap

Children stand in a circle, holding hands - this is a mousetrap. One or two children are mice, they are outside the circle. Children, raising their hands up, move in a circle saying:

Oh, how tired the mice are,

Everyone gnawed, everyone ate!

Beware, you rascals,

We'll get to you!

Let's slam the mousetrap

And we'll catch you right away!

As the text is spoken, mice run in and out of the circle. With the last word, “the mousetrap slams,” the children drop their hands and squat down. Those mice that did not have time to run out of the circle are considered caught and stand in a circle. Other mice are selected.

A goat walked through the forest

The players stand in a circle, the goat is in the center. Everyone goes in circles right side, and the goat to the left. The goat chooses one of the guys and takes them to the middle of the circle. They perform the movements according to the words. Everyone standing in the circle repeats the movements behind them.

Here from a wet rotten place

Frogs jump into the water.

They began to croak from the water:

"Kwa-ke-ke, kwa-ke-ke,

It will rain on the river."

With the end of the words, the frogs jump from the hummock into the swamp. The crane catches those frogs that are on the hummock. The caught frog goes to the crane's nest. After the crane catches several frogs, a new crane is chosen from those who have never been caught. The game resumes.

Tambourine-tambourine,

Long nose

How much oats are there in the city?

Two kopecks and a nickel.

Vanya was driving with a cap.

Vanya didn’t buy oats,

I just drowned the horse

Tambourine taught me to run.

Tambourine-tambourine,

Run after us

Grab it with your hands.

I caught Ksyusha

Ksyusha will be a tambourine.

Sun

According to the counting, they choose the driver - the sun. The rest of the children stand in a circle. The sun stands in the middle of the circle, everyone sings:

Shine, sun, brighter!

Summer will be hotter

And the winter is warmer

And spring is sweeter!

For the first two lines, the children dance in a circle, for the next two they turn to face each other, bow, and then come closer to the sun. It says, "It's hot!" - and catches up with the children. Having caught up with the player and touches him, the child freezes and drops out of the game.

Wolf and children

One player portrays a wolf. He, with his face in his hands, hunched over, sits to the side and is silent. Children run in different directions, pretending to pick berries in the forest, and sing:

They plucked and plucked the berries,

For black currants.

Father on the insert,

For mother's sleeve,

To the gray wolf

Herbs on a shovel.

May God let me wash my face,

God forbid I escape

And God forbid I get out.

With the last words, the children throw grass at the wolf and run away from him, and the wolf catches them. The caught player becomes a wolf; if the wolf fails to catch anyone, he returns to his place and pretends to be a wolf again, the rest of the players again begin to pick berries near him.

Ocean is shaking

Option 1. Depending on the number of players, chairs are placed in two rows so that the back of one chair touches the back of the other. After all the players are seated, the selected driver shouts: “The sea is rough!” All players jump up and run around the chairs until the driver, seizing the moment when everyone runs away from their chair, suddenly shouts: “The sea has calmed down!” After this, each player must take his place, and since the driver also takes someone else’s place, the players try to grab the first one they come across. The one left without a seat becomes the driver.

Option 2. Before the game starts, a driver is selected. He turns away from the rest of the participants and says loudly:

The sea is agitated once

The sea is worried two

The sea is worried three,

Marine figure, freeze where you are!

At this moment, players must freeze in the position in which they find themselves. The driver turns, walks around all the players and examines the resulting figures. Whoever moves first takes the place of the driver or leaves the game, in which case the winner is the player who lasted the longest.

It is prohibited to use additional objects for stability (trees, benches, chairs, etc.). The driver does not have the right to make the players laugh in order to stir them up. He is also not allowed to touch the players. The number of participants is not limited. You can use another version of the game, when the driver examines all the figures and chooses the one he likes the most. In this case, the winner is the player who demonstrates his imagination most clearly.

Drake and duck

The players join hands and form a circle. Two players represent a drake and a duck. They go to the middle of the circle. They sing to the duck:

Go home, little duck,

Go home, gray one.

You have seven children,

The eighth is the drake,

The ninth is a duck.

Duck - Marfutka,

Drake - Vasyutka,

Chicken - Masha,

Cockerel - Ignashka!

They shout to the drake:

Drake, catch up with the duck!

Young man, catch the duck!

The drake chases the duck and tries to catch it. The duck can run out of the circle, but the drake is not allowed out. The players standing in a circle either lower or raise their hands and sing:

The duck dives

Flying across the field.

Kich-kich, hurry up!

Quack-quack, catch up!

Your babies are squeaking

They want to eat!

When the drake catches the duck, another pair is chosen.

Pie

The driver is selected based on the number of points he counted. The players stand in two lines facing each other. The driver crouches in the center, he is a pie. The players sing and show movements.

Preschool children 4-5 years old will enjoy playing not only outdoor games, but also those that require thinking. It is recommended that the emphasis in games be on developing observation, memorization, logic, imagination and speech skills, and in outdoor games - on improving coordination, speed, dexterity and attentiveness.

Here are some suitable games:

1. Cat and mouse

Active game. Develops agility, speed, and attentiveness. Can be successfully performed among a group of different ages. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
There are two variants of this game.
First. All but three players join hands and stand in an open circle. There is a “mouse” and two “cats” running around inside. The "cats" must catch up with the mouse, but it's not so easy, because... she can calmly run between the players in a circle, but they cannot. Afterwards, all three of them stand in a circle and new cat and mouse are selected.
Second option. In one corner there is a cat’s house, in another there is a mouse hole, in the third there is a pantry where small objects representing supplies are located. The cat falls asleep in the house, and the mice run from the hole to the pantry. When the presenter claps (or after the words of the rhyme), the cat wakes up and begins to catch mice that are trying to run to the hole. At first, the cat is played by one of the adults, who pretends to catch it, but allows the mice to escape. You can add verbal accompaniment to the game:
The cat guards the mice
Pretended to be asleep.
Now he hears - the mice have come out,
Slowly, closer, closer,
They are crawling out of all the cracks.
Scratch - scratch! Catch it quickly!

1. Carousels

A calm and active round dance game. Develops coordination and synchronization of movements, dexterity, and attentiveness. Ability to control the power of your voice. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The presenter and the children stand in a circle and everyone begins to slowly and quietly say the text:
Barely, barely
The carousels began to spin.
(At the same time, the players begin to move slowly in a circle)
And then, then, then
Everybody run, run, run.
(Both the tempo and strength of the voice increases, at the same time the speed of movement increases. The players start running) The next part is pronounced with a decrease in the tempo and strength of the voice:
Hush hush! Do not hurry!
Stop the carousel!
(With these words everyone stops).

1. Kangaroo

Active game. Develops dexterity and speed in movements. Can be successfully performed among a group of different ages. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

It’s good if the distance from the rope to the hedgehogs is 10 meters. The team whose hedgehog bristles better wins, i.e. which will have more clothespins - needles.
