Funny comic games for preschoolers. The biggest soap bubble. Professional animators give advice

Children's holidays and birthdays are very important for emotional development child. And children's holidays and birthdays are inconceivable without fun games and undertakings.

Group games for children will help parents and teachers bring to the atmosphere of a holiday or birthday party exactly the kind of communication and fun that common days children cannot receive.

Here are group games for the holidays that you can play at home, at school or on the street. These games under "different sauce" can be entered into any holiday or birthday scenario. When coming up with a scenario, it would be good to provide that outdoor games alternate with intellectual ones, loud with quiet ones, and so on, so as not to overwork the child's psyche. In addition, after each competition, children should be encouraged with prizes. And not just the winners, but all the participants. Various small inexpensive items are suitable for prizes: pens, pencils, notepads, rubber bands, sweets, and so on. For a holiday or birthday scenario, you can select games from this page.

Game "Guess who"
One driver is selected, who stands with his back to the rest of the children. One of the children quietly approaches and touches the driver behind his back. The driver needs to guess who touched him. If you guessed right, then the role of the driver passes to the guessed child, if not, then the children go further and touch the driver’s back until one of them is guessed. An adult must control the course of the game and point to the child himself, who will go to touch the driver, otherwise the children begin to push and vying with each other to knock on the driver's back.
This game can be played only after making sure that all the children at the party or at the birthday party know each other well by name. If there are children who did not know each other before the holiday, then first you need to play dating games.

Game "Get Acquainted"
Children stand in a circle, the leader-adult takes the ball and stands with the children. It is necessary to name the name and favorite color. The adult starts: “My name is Anna, I love the color red,” and throws the ball to one of the children. The child says his name and favorite color and throws the ball to the next one. The game can be played in several rounds: the first round the ball is passed to those standing nearby, the second round the ball goes back, the third and next rounds the ball is thrown to whoever wants it. Each circle, the children first name, and then some of their favorite phenomena or objects: “my favorite day of the week”, “my favorite month”, “my favorite time years", "my favorite game", "my favorite cartoon", "my favorite food" and so on.
In such a game, children quickly get to know each other and remember names.

Game "Cryphers"
Another dating game, suitable for a holiday or birthday, which is attended by children who do not know each other.
An adult invites children to encrypt their names: “Children, do you know that riddle puzzles can be made from your names? Let's split into two teams and each team will encrypt all of their players." From each name you need to make a rebus and make it to the other team. The team that correctly solves the puzzles and names all the names of the “opponents” will win. An adult needs to be explained how to encrypt names: “Puzzles are made up of the letters of the name. For example, the name of Light can be encoded like this: “The sun, wind, firs, shadow, arena”, and the rebus “Long and cute pharmacist” stands for Dima.” The older the children, the more difficult the puzzles should be. Then the children are divided into teams, they are given time to compose puzzles. If the children are small, then one of the adults helps each team. Rebuses are guessed in turn by each team, when the rebus is guessed, the presenter shows a child with this name: “You guessed it, this is our Dima.” So children quickly remember the names of new friends. If the team has children with the same name, puzzles must be invented for everyone.

Game "Mummy"
One of the favorite games for children on birthdays and holidays. It can be played by children from 4 to 16 years old. Children are divided into two or more teams depending on the number of people present. Each team is assigned its own mummy. Players are given rolls of toilet paper, from which they need to make a mummy - wrap the selected child from head to toe. The team that does it faster wins. Players can be evaluated both for speed and quality - how tightly and without gaps the mummy is wrapped.
Here it must be borne in mind that the paper must be good, because it is cheap toilet paper breaks quickly and is difficult for children to handle. Usually, after this competition, a pile of garbage from scraps of paper forms on the floor, so immediately after the mummy, a competition “Who collects more garbage” should be held. For this, each team should prepare containers for collecting paper in advance (you can limit yourself to packages).

Treasure hunt game
Children search for treasure using clues-riddles. The treasure must be hidden in advance, something interesting for all children may come up as a treasure. It can be a pot of sweets, a bag of prizes, and so on.
The host announces: "I know that a treasure is hidden somewhere nearby, let's look for it." Children join this game with great pleasure. The treasure can be searched for by riddles or by the map. In an apartment, it is better to look for riddles; in nature or in non-residential premises, it is better to look for a treasure on a map. If the treasure is searched for in riddles, then they should be about items that are in the apartment: about a TV, a table, a vacuum cleaner, a pillow, a door, a stool, a refrigerator, washing machine and so on. The host guesses the first riddle himself or on behalf of the character who participates in the scenario. A riddle is an item on which lies a note with the next riddle. The next riddle points to the object, on which there is again a note with a riddle, and so on, until the children reach the object in which the treasure is hidden (usually a wardrobe or a washing machine).

The game "I believe, I do not believe"
This game - great way will introduce children to the achievements of the birthday boy. The host asks: “Children, do you know our birthday boy well? Let's check. Now his parents will tell us about him (it is better to call him by name). If they are telling the truth, shout "I believe", if not, say "I don't believe". Parents begin to tell: “Do you believe that our Petya swam across the river 3 times this summer?”, “Do you believe that Petya lost 4 teeth in a year?”, “Do you believe that Petya grew 10 cm? ”, “Do you believe that he received an award, visited 5 countries, watched a movie ....?” and so on. Accordingly, the children answer each question "I believe, I do not believe." And parents confirm whether this is true or not.

Game "True or False"
Children are called some facts and assumptions, and they must say whether it is true or not. This game fits into any scenario and introduces children to facts about a chosen topic. For example, if the script is about dinosaurs, facts and fiction from the life of dinosaurs are called. If the script is about knights, the facts are taken from the lives of the knights, and so on. All questions must be age appropriate. If the holiday is for 3-year-olds, then the facts should be at the level: "The tomato is red", and if the holiday is for 15-year-olds, then the fact will already be this: "The tomato contains pectin."

Game Move Faster
This game has many variations, but the essence is the same - you need to transfer some items from one place to another. Usually children are divided into 2 teams, if there are a lot of participants at the holiday (more than 14 people), then there can be more teams. For one team, 5-7 participants are optimal. For each team, a container is placed with some objects, such as balls or balls, and an empty container into which these objects must be transferred. You can carry it with your hands, or you can use a spoon or other auxiliary object, depending on what you need to carry. The leader commands: “To start, attention, march” and the children from each team run to the basket in turn, pick up the item and carry it to another basket, then run up to the team and pass the baton to the next participant until they transfer all the items. The team that transferred all the items without loss first wins.
It is interesting for children to play this game even without competition, so if few children are invited to the birthday party, then you can play without teams. Then all the children run and carry objects at the same time.

The game "Equilibrists"
Obstacle objects (for example, skittles) are placed around the room in a straight line in the way of the child, each child must go from one end of the room to the other blindfolded and not knock down a single object, you must go around all the objects. Usually the first time the children do not succeed, so everyone wants to go through several times. So that the children do not quarrel, the leader must ensure that the children after the passage become at the end of the line. On the 3rd, 4th time, most children usually manage to get between the objects and not knock them down. If the time of the holiday allows, then you can walk as many times until all the children succeed. But if there is a child in the company who has difficulties with coordination and does not succeed in any way, the host will have to prepare consolation for the child and try to make the next competition such that this child can win it.

Game "Dwarfs and Giants"
Children become in a circle. The facilitator explains that if he says "dwarfs" everyone should squat down, and if he says "giants" everyone should stand on tiptoe. Whoever makes a mistake is out of the game. The host begins to play the game and first "lulls the vigilance" of the players. That is, on the word “dwarfs” he sits down with everyone, on the word “giants” he stands on tiptoe, and then begins to confuse the players: give one command and perform another action, or give the wrong commands, for example: “Kar ... zina! Rope! Painting! Fun!". The winner is the player who was last in the circle.

Fanta game
The host collects from all the participants some items - forfeits. Then the leader is selected and turns his back to the leader. The host pulls out the items in turn and says: “What should this wrapper-bow do?”. The one who turns away does not see this phantom and makes a wish: for example, jump five times on one leg, sing a song, dance or recite a poem, crow and so on. One of these wishes will have to be made by the one who thinks himself.

Hands up game
Participants stand in a circle. The driver walks inside the circle and, stopping in front of someone, says to him loudly: “Hands up!” The one to whom he addressed should stand calmly, and his neighbors should quickly raise their hands: the neighbor on the right - the left, and the neighbor on the left - the right. Whoever makes a mistake changes the leader.

A game " Joint creativity»

Now let's see what happened? It is better to play this game to the music - while the music is playing, the children draw, how it stopped, the children transfer the drawings.

The game "Drawing on the back"
This game is a variation on the Broken Phone theme. Paper is taped to each child's back and a felt-tip pen is given. Children sit in a circle and then, according to the principle of the game "Broken phone", the presenter whispers a word to one of the children. The word should not be complicated so that it can be depicted, for example, a house, a sun, a flower, and so on. The child who has been called the word has to draw it on the neighbor's back. The neighbor must understand what is being drawn on his back, and draw the same thing on the back of the next neighbor, and so on from player to player. When drawing on the back of a child, he should not turn sideways or in a circle so that no one peeps. When the circle is over, you can continue the game and whisper the word next child to start drawing a new player. When everyone finishes drawing, the fun is guaranteed!

The game "The smartest"
Chairs are placed in a circle one less than the players. While the music is playing, the children run around the chairs, when the music ends, the children need to quickly sit on the chair. Whoever does not have enough chairs is out of the game. On the next round, one chair is removed, and the children continue to run. This is repeated until there are two participants and one chair left. The first person to sit down after the music stops wins.

Game "Vacuum cleaner"
To play, you need several identical groups of items (for example, designer parts or cut-out different form and the color of the leaves) and baskets according to the number of players or teams.

  • alternate calm activities with fun relay races;
  • learn more about the friends of your son or daughter, ask about their preferences;
  • a win-win - theme party with original costumes;
  • refuse competitions in which participants will feel awkward (humiliated). Do not allow the results of the competition to be divided into stupid and smart, quiet and activists, clumsy and jacks of all trades. Entertainment should cause joy, laughter, not ridicule;
  • prepare prizes. The main thing: attention, not the price of a gift. The award must be age appropriate;
  • think over two or three competitions in which there are no winners: all children receive gifts for participation. A prerequisite for babies aged 3-4 years;
  • invite all young guests to participate;
  • prepare a script, write the names of the competitions on the sheet, short description to easily navigate which task to offer;
  • think of entertainment, taking into account the size of the room. If there is not too much space, if possible, remove excess furniture, unnecessary things, and fragile decor on the day of the holiday. It is easier to carry out in a large room sports competitions: Take advantage of this.
