However, as soon as one of the players rolls “1” or “6” again, he runs to the chocolate bar, and the first player returns to his place. At the same time, situations often arise in the game when one player has not yet reached the table with a chocolate bar, and the other is already running to replace him. The game ends when all the chocolate is eaten. After the end of the game, it is necessary to reward all participants with small chocolates to compensate for the unsuccessful game of some children.
Recommendations. It is advisable to choose one or two observers for the game (for example, from among those who do not like chocolate) so that they ensure that the rules are followed and that the players eat chocolate in small slices.
For large quantity players (20-30 people), several games can be played in parallel (each must have its own chocolate bar and dice).

The one who fails to do this takes the place of the driver and continues the story he started.
Examples and additional material. The main requirement for a story is that it should be interesting and exciting. This could be a retelling of a movie seen or a book read, an incident that happened to the driver or his friends, or a story invented by the driver himself.
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 driver 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 many 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 ground, 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 a 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.)

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.

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.
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), pronounce a name (boys - the names of girls, girls - the names of boys). 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!” - run to different sides around the circle, run to 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 the 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.
Beast unknown to science
This game will unite children by creating total product art. Although, of course, this is said loudly in relation to the picture that is obtained by the end of the game.
Take several sheets of paper in advance and fold each one several times, like an accordion, then unfold it again. Give a piece of paper with fold marks visible to all children sitting in a circle. Have each player start drawing the head of an animal at the top. This must be done in such a way that others do not see or know what the child is planning to depict. Having drawn the head on the upper part, you need to draw a line for the neck, going slightly beyond the fold line, fold the piece of paper and pass the drawing to the neighbor on the right. He, seeing only two lines indicating the end of the neck, continues to draw the body of the animal (which one he chooses himself), having reached the next fold line, he draws a contour line behind it, bends the piece of paper and passes it on again. So, depending on the number of fold lines you make, the design goes through the hands of three or four artists. The latter finishes drawing the feet (paws, claws, etc.). After this, the drawings are handed over to the leading adult, who unfolds them and shows the guests what they have created. Usually the result is a strange animal unknown to science.
Note. With such drawings you can decorate the room where the celebration is taking place.
Gift tree
Ask the guys if they know where the gifts come from. Where did they get the gifts for the birthday boy (if you are celebrating your child's birthday)? Of course, you will hear plausible explanations from kids and humorous ones from older children. And then you can tell them your version: they say, you don’t know where, but your souvenirs for guests grow on a tree. Don't believe me? Come on, let's show you!
Now feel free to lead the guys into the room where you hung various surprises on strings on a spreading branch attached to the closet. These can be ballpoint pens, small notebooks, chocolates, stickers, decorations - in a word, any pleasant little thing, the weight of which will be supported by the branch you have chosen.
Explain to the children that wood can only be used in a special way, so that the gift is always a surprise, a surprise. Therefore, now all the children will be blindfolded in turn, spun in place, and then given scissors, with which they will go to the generous plant and cut themselves some kind of gift
Note. With older kids, you can add some excitement to this game by hanging inflated balloons on the branches. Then, from time to time, players will accidentally burst the balls with scissors (this usually causes fear and joy at the same time).
Ha ha ha
This game is notable for the fact that it has simple rules and lifts the spirits of all those who play it, those who have already lost, and those who are simply watching it all.
Have the children sit in a circle. One of them will say the word “Ha!” with the most serious look. The player sitting to his right must say this twice already (“Ha-ha”), the person next to him on the right three times (“Ha-ha-ha”) and so on, each time adding one extra “ha” " Anyone who cannot bear a serious face and laughs or smiles openly leaves the game. He moves outside the circle and gets the opportunity to make faces and grimace, amusing the players and thereby complicating their task. If there are winners in this game - those who were able to pronounce “ha” the longest without a shadow of a smile, and without making a mistake among them, deserve a reward - prepare some funny souvenirs for such an occasion.
Note. This game, although it seems very childish, but precisely because of this it can also bring pleasure to teenagers. It will be funny for them that they, who are already adults and serious, say “ha” with the most ridiculous look, although for some time they can stay on a serious note, demonstrating their lack of involvement in all this tomfoolery.
Deceivers
Of course, it's not good to lie. But for general joy and also for the development of attention, it’s possible.
Children need to sit in a circle. One child will start the game: he will point to any part of his body and call it another part. For example, he will show his elbow and say, “This is my right ear.” The next player must show what is named, that is, the right ear, but say something else, for example, that this is the forehead. Then the next player will show his forehead, etc. Those who were caught (that is, believed the deceiver and showed not what he said, but what he demonstrated), leave the game. Thus, the most attentive players remain, who can then be awarded a comic prize, for example, a boy - a medal with the inscription “Best Cheater of the Year”, and a girl - powder (with the hint that she was great at “fooling the brains” of those around her, without getting caught herself). to their tricks!).
Note. To prevent children who drop out of the game from being offended or acting naughty, you can leave them in the game, but hand them some objects that symbolize their gullibility, such as floats (indicating that they have fallen into the hook of a deceiver). The one who does not receive a single such badge - the winner - in this case can be given a symbolic fishing rod (made from a strong branch with a fishing line and hook tied to it). By the way, if you see that there may be two winners, stop the game before one of them gets caught. Then children will be able to use two gift fishing rods in the game “Sweet Catch”, and the course of the holiday will be more logical and organized.
Massive games for children indoors
As already mentioned, you shouldn’t get carried away with competitions during the holiday, but if these are team competitions, the essence of which is not winning, but having fun participating, then it’s a different matter! Below you will find a description of such team games and entertainment for two groups of children.
Sometimes dividing children into two teams turns out to be a difficult task, as adults encounter whims (“I want to be with Sasha”) or tactless remarks (“I don’t want to be with this Petka”). To avoid such disputes in the first place, use the following: game method dividing children into groups.
Picture made from pieces
Depending on the situation and age of the children, you can start the game right away or after telling them the legend.
“A long time ago, in the same kingdom, there lived friendly people who got along well with each other. Together they created wonderful things: paintings, stories, household utensils. Everything worked out for them, because they understood each other from half a word and half a glance and took care of each other. But one day an evil wizard was jealous of their harmony and, when people were painting a picture, he cast a spell, causing their creation to shatter into pieces and, along with these pieces, people scattered around the world. Those who once lived in perfect harmony now do not recognize each other and live separately. But if you put the picture together again, then maybe a miracle will happen, and everyone who contributed their piece to it will be able to find care and understanding from the other creators of the picture - they will become one friendly team.”
Invite the children to check if this is really true? Have each of them come up to you and take one piece of postcard, white side up (prepare two postcards in advance and cut them so that total number pieces were equal to the number of invitees, including your own children). When each guest has a piece of the postcard in their hands, announce the conditions of the game: now you will say a magic phrase (for example: “Look for yours!”) and the children will begin to move around the room, showing each other the pieces. If they realize that they have parts of one postcard, then they unite and together look for the remaining parts.
Note. Thus, by the end of the game you will naturally form two teams, each of which collected the entire picture and showed the results to the rest of those present. Take advantage of the spirit of unity that arose during this task and announce to the teams that the tests of the strength of the spell will continue in the following relay races, where they will be one team.
Firefighter School
During this game, children will learn which team members are faster and more collected (literally and figuratively). Invite them to participate in the speed-of-dressing training that takes place during training to become a firefighter (after all, a good firefighter should be able to get dressed in a short period while the match is burning!). Of course, such a workout at a children's party would be a joke.
Place a set of clothes in front of each team, for example a hat, jacket, trousers, boots. The first players of the two teams must approach these piles of things and, having figured out what’s what, put it all on themselves as quickly as possible. When dressing is finished, the player must spread his arms to the sides, and his team should support him with the exclamation “Beauty!” After this, he must quickly undress, and the next player on the team must repeat all these actions. The winner will be the team whose members are able to “dress up” and take off their “working clothes” faster, that is, finish the training first.
Note. To keep the emphasis of this game on fun rather than competition, prepare the most ridiculous clothes you can find. A moth-eaten earflap hat, a pink children's Panama hat, grandma's old jacket, and dad's hunting boots in combination with wide beach shorts will do (the main thing is that all this should be large for the convenience of the players). When festively dressed children pull all this on themselves, it will be impossible not to laugh. Don’t waste time and film the “mummers” on a video camera or camera - such pictures will capture the height of the fun and the memories of the holiday will acquire their own unique flavor.

This game is similar to the previous one, but requires quick reaction and organization not of each individual, but of all players at once, that is, success in it is influenced by team cohesion.
Find out who in each team is the most curious and not afraid of any challenge. Once two daredevils have been selected, explain to the teams what they will be doing. And they will be busy preparing their curious comrade for the North Pole. As you know, this place is not hot, and they have only five minutes to get ready. Therefore, the task of each team during this time is to have time to put on as many items of clothing as possible on the would-be explorer. Where can I get it? For such a case, you will have to “give away your last shirt,” that is, take off some items of clothing from yourself.
The team that can dress their hero “warmer” will win (and it doesn’t matter if they decided to prepare him for the cold test by wearing an extra tie).
Note. It is better to play one such game so that the children do not have time to get used to it. However, if the previous game caused a lot of emotions in the children and they demand a continuation (“Let’s play this game again!”), then after several more games you can still send the teams to the North Pole again.
Hands up!
This team game can be done right at the table. Have members of one team sit on one side of the table and members of the other team sit on the opposite side. Give the end player of one of the teams a coin. He must pass it under the table to the next player on his team and so on down the chain. At this time, the commander of the other team (children can take turns playing this role) counts to ten. He can do this loudly or in a whisper, evenly or either speeding up or slowing down the count. As soon as he says “ten”, he can command: “Hands up!” Then all players, including the one who has the coin, must raise their clenched fists up. Then the commander gives the command “Hands down!”, and the players place their hands on the table, opening their palms. Naturally, the temporary owner of the coin tries to do this in such a way as to cover it with his palm. All this time, players of the opposing team carefully watch their opponents' hands, trying to guess who has the coin. After completing two commands, they confer and name the player who, in their opinion, keeps the coin. If their guesses are correct, then the coin goes into their piggy bank as a reward for their attention. If they make a mistake, the coin remains on the same team as a reward for sleight of hand.
Note. If there are not so many guests, then you can play another version of this game, when everyone present passes the coin, except for the driver - the commander. He alone is trying to determine the owner of the coin. By the way, this game serves both to entertain children and to develop attention and the ability to subordinate one’s behavior to rules.
Freight train
If in previous game required sleight of hand, now players will need sleight of foot!
Let the members of one team sit in a row on the sofa or on chairs, the second team will also sit opposite. On the side of each team, make a pile of the same number of items (it’s best to take Stuffed Toys- small or medium size).
At the command “Start!” the guys on the same team must start passing toys to each other until they reach the last player - the “last carriage”, who will begin to put them next to him. Does the task seem simple? But there is one “but” here. You can only use your feet. If something slips out when passing from foot to foot, then it should be picked up
So that the bridge does not collapse down,
Let's take brick and mortar for construction,
My fair miss.
Centipede
Playing with tied feet brings not only joy to children, but also a sense of cohesion. Therefore, you can safely offer them, for example, such a task.
Divide the guys into two teams and give each a rope about fifty centimeters long. With them, members of one team must tie their legs (at the ankles) with a comrade standing next to them. This way, you won’t end up with a bunch of scattered kids, but two centipedes (which is much easier to manage!).
Now have both centipedes stand at the starting line. Now they will compete in the dexterity of their legs! You can start with simple task: Let them try to reach the finish line as quickly as possible.
Then the task can be complicated.
For example, in the middle of their path, place a small obstacle that the children must take turns carefully overcoming, remembering their “neighbor.” Or you can change the trajectory of movement by placing limiters that you have to go around. If the children want to show " aerobatics“, you can even require that as they move, they also pass the toy from the first to the last team member.
Note. It is better not to get carried away with complicating the rules when playing this game with young children (up to six years old), since their motor regulation, as well as their ability to jointly organized activities, is still far from perfect and they will fall more than they move forward.
