Interesting unusual competitions for elementary school. School Party Contests

All participants are divided into two teams and lined up in two lines opposite each other.

Participants braid the "wattle" - they join hands through one, crosswise.

The members of the first team walk towards the other team, which at this time is standing still, and say: “We all congratulate Masha and wish her good health!” They say the second half of the phrase, stepping back. Then the other team does the same. Then everyone lines up in the back of the head and follows the leader, who tries to walk in such a way that everyone is confused. As soon as the leader claps his hands, both teams take their places and again braid into a “wattle fence”.

Usually after that, "extra" hands appear.

Twenty participants are divided into two groups, stand opposite each other at a distance of 20 m and join hands, forming two chains parallel to each other.

The first group shouts in chorus: “Shackles!”

The second answers her: “Shackled! Unleash us."

First, in chorus: "Which of us?"

The second group, after conferring, chooses one of the first group and calls his name. The chosen one runs up and tries to break the chain, the participants of which chose him (the chain of the second group), and those, in turn, try to prevent this, holding hands tightly.

If the chosen one breaks the chain, then he takes one of the two who broke the chain and takes him to his team.

If the chosen one does not break the chain, then he remains in this team (caught).

The game continues until one of the teams has 1 person left.

The team that gets the largest number points.

Competitions for children

Catch an apple
This is traditional English game held during the Halloween holiday. To play, you need a bowl of water. A few apples are thrown into the basin. And then the players, holding their hands behind their backs, try to catch the apple with their teeth and pull it out of the water. Whoever succeeds is the winner.

On three legs
The facilitator determines the place of start and finish. Then all players are divided into pairs. In each pair, the right leg of one player and the left leg of the other are tied with a rope. At the signal of the leader, the couples run to the races. The pair that reaches the finish line first wins.

Snipers
On the end wall of a house or a barn, you need to depict "targets" in advance, for example, to graze predators, the physiognomy of Barmaley or Koshchey.
Having previously divided into teams, the participants fight with their monsters, trying to completely cover them with snowballs. Those who shot especially accurately are given the right to “draw” a “self-portrait” on a plywood shield with snowballs. For this, circles with a diameter of about a meter have already been drawn on the shields. It remains to arrange the eyes, mouth, nose, ears. When the competition begins, the nose will definitely be on the side, and the mouth below the chin. Everyone will have fun.

Pull - push
In this competition, pairs compete in a 15-20 m run. Couples, holding hands, run, pressing their backs to one another. Having run to the finish line, they return to the start. It turns out that the player runs normally in one direction, and in reverse in the other. The pair that returns to the start first wins.

Horror
The conditions are as follows - there are five eggs in the cassette. One of them is raw, warns the presenter. The rest are boiled. It is necessary to break the egg on the forehead. Whoever gets raw is the brave one. (But actually, the eggs are all boiled, and the prize is just the last participant - he consciously ran the risk of becoming a laughingstock.)

keep your balance
With their arms outstretched to the sides, the players, like tightrope walkers, walk along the very edge of the carpet.
The winner is the one who last leaves the race.

Politeness check
This contest is a trick and is only held once. Before the start of the boys' competition, a girl passes in front of them and, as if by chance, drops her handkerchief. The winner is the boy who guessed to pick up the handkerchief and politely return it to the girl. After that, it is announced that this was the first competition.
Option: if the competition is between two teams, then the point is awarded to the one from which the most polite boy was.

Inflate a balloon
For this contest you will need 8 balloons. 8 people are selected from the hall. They give out balloons. At the command of the host, the participants begin to inflate the balloons, but so that the balloon does not burst when inflated. The one who completes the task first wins.

GOOD MOOD.
Starting from the neighbor, on the right, we say a compliment along the chain, always with a smile, and especially cheerful ones can make attractive faces.

GAMES FOR REVEALING THE LEADER.
To do this, the guys are divided into two or three teams equal in number of participants. Each team chooses a name for itself. The leader offers conditions: "Now the commands will be executed after I command" Start! "The team that completes the task faster and more accurately will be considered the winner." In this way, you will create a spirit of competition, which is very important for the guys.
So, the first task. Now each team should say a single word in unison. "Begin!"
In order to complete this task, it is necessary for all team members to agree somehow. It is these functions that a person striving for leadership takes on.
Second task. Here it is necessary that half the team quickly get up without agreeing on anything. "Begin!"
Third task. Now all teams are flying to spaceship to Mars, but in order to fly, we need to organize crews as quickly as possible. The crew includes: captain, navigator, passengers and "hare". So who's faster?!
Usually, the leader again takes on the functions of the organizer, but the distribution of roles often occurs in such a way that the leader chooses the role of a "hare" for himself. This can be explained by his desire to transfer the responsibility of the commander to the shoulders of someone else.
Task four. We flew to Mars and we need to somehow accommodate in a Martian hotel, and there is only a triple room, two double rooms and one single room. You need to distribute as quickly as possible who will live in which room. "Begin!"
After playing this game, you can see the presence and composition of microgroups in your team. Single rooms usually go to either hidden, unidentified leaders or "outcasts".
The proposed number of rooms and rooms in them is made for a team consisting of 8 participants. If there are more or fewer participants in the team, then make up the number of rooms and rooms yourself, but with the condition that there are triples, doubles and one single.

CLOWN.
To conduct this game, you need to split into 2-3 teams and prepare 2-3 boxes of matches. More precisely, not the whole box is needed, but only its upper part. The inner, retractable part, together with the matches, can be set aside.
In order to start the game, all teams line up in a column, the first person puts the box on his nose. The essence of the game is to pass this box from nose to nose as quickly as possible to all members of your team, while hands should be behind your back. If someone's boxes fell, the team starts the procedure again.
Accordingly, the winning team is the one that completes the transmission of the box faster.
There will be no lack of laughter in this game!

APPLE.
This game again involves the transfer of an item by two or more teams. This object will be an apple, and you will need to hold it, holding it between your chin and neck. Hands behind your back, so ... Let's start!
If you don't have an apple on hand, you might as well use an orange or a tennis ball.

SANDAL.
For this game you need to organize not less than three commands. Teams line up in columns located on the same line, having previously taken off their shoes. After the teams line up, the counselor collects all the children's shoes, dumps them in a pile and mixes them up. The leaders are given instructions: "This is a small fun relay race. Now, in turn, each of the participants must run up to this pile, put on their shoes and run to their team in shoes, passing the baton to the next one. Those who know how to put on shoes quickly win!"

TOUCAN.
Toucan is a fish that fishermen often dry by stringing on long ropes. Now we, like a toucan, will "string" on a long, about 15 m long rope, at one end of which a pine cone is tied. All members of the team must pass this bump through all the clothes from top to bottom, passing the bump to each other in turn. Naturally, the winning team is the one whose last member is the first of all teams to pull out of the trouser leg pine cone with fifteen meters of rope tied to it.

SNOWBALL.
This game is best played on the "light of acquaintance", when the guys are sitting in a large close circle. The leader must start the game by saying his name. The one sitting to his left should call the name of the leader and his own. The next one further clockwise will have to name the two previous names, his own, and so on in a circle. Again, the counselor should finish, calling the whole detachment by name. The task is difficult, but real and feasible. Try it - success is guaranteed.

MATHEMATICS.
Children sit in a circle. The counselor gives the task: "Let's start counting in a circle. The one who has a number that is a multiple of three says his name instead of a number."
This game can be used to develop memory and attention. Play around and you will see that this is true.

ROPE.
To play this game, take a rope and tie its ends so that a ring is formed. (The length of the rope depends on the number of children participating in the game.)
The guys stand in a circle and take the rope with both hands, which is inside the circle. Assignment: "Now everyone needs to close their eyes and, without opening their eyes, without letting go of the rope, build a triangle." First, there is a pause and complete inactivity of the guys, then one of the participants offers some kind of solution: for example, to pay off and then build a triangle by serial numbers, and then directs the actions.

CARABAS.
The next similar game will be the game "Karabas". To conduct the game, children are seated in a circle, a counselor sits with them, who offers the conditions for the game: “Guys, you all know the tale of Pinocchio and remember the bearded Karabas-Barabas, who had a theater. Now you are all dolls. I will say the word "KA-RA-BAS" and I will show a certain number of fingers on outstretched hands. And you will have to, without agreeing, get up from the chairs, and as many people as I show my fingers. This game develops attention and speed of reaction. "
This game test requires the participation of two counselors. The task of one is to conduct the game, the second is to carefully observe the behavior of the guys.
Most often, more sociable, striving for leadership guys get up. Those who get up later, at the end of the game, are less determined. There are those who first get up and then sit down. They make up the "happy" group. The group of the detachment that does not stand up at all is non-initiative.
It is recommended to repeat the game 4-5 times.
The practice of this game shows that usually these functions are taken over by the leaders.
The game can be continued, complicating the task, and invite the guys to build a square, a star, a hexagon.

LARGE FAMILY PHOTO.
This game is best played during the organizational period to identify the leader, as well as in the middle of the shift, and used as visual material in your team.
It is suggested that the guys imagine that they are all - big family and everyone needs to take a picture together for a family album. You must select a "photographer". He should arrange the whole family for photographing. The "grandfather" is chosen first from the family; he can also participate in the arrangement of the members of the "family". No more settings are given for children, they must decide for themselves who to be and where to stand. And you wait and watch this entertaining picture. The role of "photographer" and "grandfather" is usually taken by guys striving for leadership. But, however, elements of leadership and other "family members" are not excluded. It will be very interesting for you to observe the distribution of roles, activity-passivity in choosing a location.
This game, played in the middle of the shift, can open up new leaders for you and reveal the like-dislike system in groups. After the distribution of roles and arrangement of "family members", the "photographer" counts up to three. On the count of "three!" everyone together and very loudly shout "cheese" and make a simultaneous clap of their hands.

RELAY IN THE BUS.
Pass a cardboard box with a pencil down each row, and each participant must write a four to five letter word on the cardboard thrown down his row. The calculation takes into account the number of letters and time.

WHAT I SAW.
This game is about attention. In it, the guys must count the number of illogical judgments in the poem that the counselor will read:
I saw a lake on fire
A dog in trousers on a horse
On the house a hat instead of a roof,
Cats that are caught by mice.
I saw a duck and a fox
That a plow plows a meadow in the forest,
Like a teddy bear measured shoes
And like a fool he believed everything.
(S.Ya. Marshak)

Or:
Because of the forest, because of the mountains
Grandpa Yegor was driving.
He is piebald on a cart,
On an oak horse
He is girded with a club,
Leaning on the sash
Boots for stirrup,
Jacket on bare feet.

Or:
The village was passing by a peasant,
And from under the dog the gate barks,
The horse grabbed the whip
Whipping a man
black cow
He leads the girl by the horns.
(K.S. Stanislavsky)

CHRYCHALKA "PETKI - VASKI".
The counselor plays the role of a leader, and the guys are divided into two teams: one - "Petka", the other - "Vaska". Further, all together on the motive of "Smuglyanka":
On a sunny meadow
There is a green house.
And on the porch of the house
A cheerful gnome is sitting.
Further, the counselor shouts: "What is your name, gnome?" and points to one of the teams, which answers with a tongue twister as loudly as possible.
"Pets":
Pe-e-tka! I have a shirt in glue-e-tku!
I came to you, de-e-tki,
To eat candy-e-tku!
"Vaska":
Wow! I have pants in the go-o-shku!
I came from a fairy tale
Because I'm good!
All this is carried out several times, the counselor points to one or the other team, and at the end of the game - to both teams at once, and one of them must shout over the other.

CHRYCHALKA "ABROAD".
These chants have a large number of options. Their peculiarity is that they mean absolutely nothing and thus like children.
"Ricesiki"
It's very simple: the children repeat after the leader who sings:
Ooo!
Calabamba la-oh!
Osiki-risrsiki-risosiki-risbamba!
Oh, I eat bananas!
"Balami"
After each line sung by the counselor, the children shout: "Hey!".
Bala-bala-mi - hey!
Chika-chika-chi - hey!
Chi-hey!
Chi-hey!
Chick-chirp-chick-hey!
Together with the guys, you can come up with your own squad chant, under which, for example, you will get together.

NAME YOU.
Everyone stands in a circle holding outstretched arms in front of. The starter of the game throws the ball through the center of the circle to one of the participants and at the same time calls his name. After the throw, he lowers his arms. After the ball goes around everyone, and everyone lowers their hands, the game begins in the second round. Each of the participants throws the ball to the person to whom he threw it for the first time, and again calls his name.
The third round of this game is somewhat modified. Again, everyone stands in a circle with outstretched arms, but now the participant who threw the ball must say his name, the one who caught the ball does the same, etc.
