In the summer, more often than usual, we arrange family trips to nature. To avoid boredom, childish disobedience and irritation of adults, you need to prepare for a picnic in advance.

However, delicious food cooked in nature is not all that children need. After a hearty lunch, the little ones need active games. To help you, we have prepared 10 outdoor play ideas for kids.

1. Forest house

Invite the little "Robinsons" to build a real forest hut. First, adults, of course, will need to participate in the construction and create a holding structure. And after you are convinced of its stability, the children will be able to collect branches on their own, line the bottom of the hut with them and bring comfort there. Just imagine how much joy games in such a house will cause!

Alternatively, for such games, you can use a children's folding tent. There is a door in it, a mosquito net too, all that remains is to improve their forest dwelling ... Invite the children to bring various gifts of nature to the tent and make “repairs” there.

2. Toy tableware

Young children love to repeat everything after adults. Therefore, take toy dishes from home, and kids 2-5 years old, watching your cooking, will be happy to do the same.

Using children's dishes and natural materials, you can set a simply chic table. Tell the little "owners" and "hostesses" about this, and they will be happy to prepare dinner for their favorite toys from flowers, grass, leaves, cones, sand and water. And if they decide to treat you, then do not forget to praise the culinary masterpiece!

3. Ball games

If there is a spacious clearing near you without stumps and potholes, then many ball games can be organized on it. For example:

• Football
• Volleyball
• All kinds of relay races (for example, who will throw the ball farthest)
• The game of "knock-out"
• Ball games with Velcro round rackets
• Games with noodles (they can be used as a target for a ball, roll a ball under them, hit balloons, etc.)

For such outdoor games, large and small balls, as well as balloons, are useful.

4. Badminton

Another outdoor game loved by many is badminton. You can stretch the net between the trees and play by all the rules, or you can simplify your task and just throw the shuttlecock to each other with a racket. The goal is to keep it from falling to the ground for as long as possible. In case of failure, the loser passes the racket to the next player.

By the way, it is advisable for parents to join the children: during the game, you can not only warm up after a feast, but also lose extra pounds.

5. Frisbee

The essence of the game with a flying disc is as follows: you need to throw a plate in such a way that it does not touch the ground. Play this active game can be done in different ways, as a team or in pairs, standing opposite each other. One player deftly throws the disc to another, and he catches it. Or you can hone your Frisbee throwing skills on your own.

6. Little builder's kit

If you are going to relax near a pond, then take a set with shovels, a rake, a bucket and a watering can. All this is useful for small builders to create sand castles, roads, tunnels and even entire towns on the banks of a lake or river.

And you can also teach kids to make little “secrets”. To do this, you need to dig a hole and place various treasures there - beautiful pebbles, beads, flowers, wrappers from sweets. And then cover it all with glass and bury it so that there is a viewing window through which you can admire this good. For greater safety, glass can be replaced with a fragment of a plastic bottle.

7. Land art

There are so many things in nature that can be useful for creating different paintings, sculptures and compositions! So why don't you and your children do land art on vacation?

For your works of art, use flowers, cones, colorful leaves, branches, needles, seeds, pebbles, etc. Such creations are short-lived, but they perfectly develop the imagination, teach to fantasize and notice something unusual in every little thing. This will be a great outdoor activity!

8. Theatrical production

This funny team game will not leave anyone indifferent! Divide into two teams, and let each team think for themselves a scene from their favorite fairy tale or cartoon.

Then, one by one, try to portray the plot using facial expressions and gestures. And the opposing team must guess as quickly as possible what was guessed. Winners receive a prize or make a wish.

9. Broken phone

Probably everyone remembers and loves this fun children's game. The more participants, the more fun the process. Such a game perfectly develops memory, attention and children's speech.

So, all players line up, the first one thinks of a word and very quickly whispers into the ear of the second player. And he passes the word to the third in the form in which he heard. Usually, when it comes to the last player, the result is not at all the word that was originally intended, but some kind of abracadabra! If the word came without changes, then try to complicate the task and transmit the whole phrase “by phone”.

10. Music

The presence of music in nature guarantees good mood all honest company. You can arrange an incendiary disco or collective singing along with your favorite performer.

But the children will be especially delighted with the sound of their favorite children's songs. Therefore, record a CD with children's compositions and don't forget to film forest dances!

And in nature, you can make photo reports, fish, observe forest dwellers, conduct experiments ... but you never know! The main thing is that the rest is fun, useful and active, then both children and adults will remember it for a long time!

At the very beginning of the picnic, the host offers those present from natural materials, which they can find in the forest and in the clearing, create some kind of hero. And closer to the end of the event, a competition is held for the best craft, which is determined by the applause of those present.

mad doctor

You need a big field to play. One doctor went crazy and started chasing his patients. If he touches the player by the leg, he must jump on one, if he touches the arm, it is forbidden to raise it. Normal doctors can cure the sick, for this they must run to the patient and hurt him. At the same time, it is important not to fall into the clutches of the enraged.

Hen Ryaba

All participants sit in a semicircle, so that the grandfather-leader turns his back to them. The contestants have a tennis ball - this is a testicle, which all participants - “hens” pass to each other while the music is playing. As soon as the music has stopped, all the hens fall on the grass, including the one with the “testicle”. Grandfather turns around and tries to guess which of the "hens" has a testicle. Guessed - then the hen turns into a grandfather, and not guessed - the game just continues.

Robinson Crusoe

Participants are divided into pairs and each pair turns into Robinson Crusoe, who must build their own hut (wigwam, whatever, to escape the wind and rain). The guys are given about 10-15 minutes, after which, according to the results of voting (applause), the best building is determined. And the built huts will later become an excellent playground for children, or the same company will stay overnight in them, if the picnic suddenly drags on.

kisses

This competition is held if a heterosexual company went to nature. The host goes around all those present and assigns a letter to the men, and a number to the women. Now a veil is spread on the grass, a psychic sits there in the lotus position and begins to decide destinies. HE calls out a combination of a letter and a number, for example J9. The girl, who is assigned 9, runs to the screamer and kisses him on the cheek. But the young man, who is assigned the letter J, must react even faster and intercept the girl even before the kiss. If he succeeded, then he kisses the lady himself and a "couple" is formed. If he did not have time, then now the latecomer will have to drive.

gold fish

This competition is ideal for relaxing near the pond. Participants are given a fishing rod, whoever can catch a fish first gets a prize. If the rest takes place far from the reservoir, then you can use it as a fish plastic bottles suspended from a tree at a certain height. Pairs take part in fishing. One participant climbs onto the second and, on the “start” command, everyone runs to the tree with the “fish”. Whoever gets to our artificial “pond” faster and catches a fish first wins.

Stone, stick and feather

The game takes place in 2 stages. First stage: find 3 items (stone, stick and feather) faster than others. The second stage: the “launch” of objects - whoever throws the stone the farthest, throws the stick and launches the pen. The fastest, most dexterous and accurate - a prize.

Kick it all out

You will need to keep track of time for each participant, so you need to prepare a timer on your phone. For each participant, in turn, hang a bottle of water on a rope on a tree branch. The participant is blindfolded, twisted around and handed a thick stick. On the “start” command, the participant begins to beat the bottle so that water pours out from there. The fight with the bottle continues until there is no water left in it. The participant who spends the least time on this task will win and receive a prize.

fox hunters

Teams of 3 people are formed, 2 of which are hunters, and the third is a fox. In the hands of the hunters - a lasso, one for two. This is an ordinary scarf 5 m long, from which a loop is made, its ends are in the hands of hunters. So, at the signal of the leader, the hunt begins. The foxes must slip through the lasso, and the hunters must tighten the noose around the fox's waist, or at least on the leg. You can run all over the clearing, and yet the crowd and the heap are few provided.

Summer Games

Summer is usually the time of the year when kids spend the most time outside playing with their friends.

Ball games in nature with children

"Ball and snake" This game is for the little ones. It gives the skill of pushing, improves coordination of movements and helps to develop attention. Children must be placed on the grass in pairs opposite each other. The distance between the guys should be about one meter. Children roll the ball to each other in turn with a snake. Complicated option: we ask the children to change position, first they rolled the ball, sitting on the priest, then, squatting, then standing on their feet.

"Bouncing Ball" This game teaches children to catch the ball even if it has changed direction. You need to find a more or less even wall, put the child about 2-3 meters from this wall and tell him to throw the ball so that the ball hits the wall and bounces back. The child must catch the bouncing ball. The game can be complicated: you can say that the child catches the ball that bounced off the floor / ground / asphalt, or that the child does not catch the ball, but jumps over it.

"Bouncer" This is an active team game for children in nature. Two players stand on the edges of the playground, the rest of the children are in the center of the playground. The task of the guys in the center of the site is to dodge the ball, which is thrown by two players standing on the edges of the site. Whoever gets hit by the ball is out. Whoever dodges the ball the longest wins.

Mobile entertaining games for children in nature

"Catchers"- one of the most famous children's games. Catching up is a game that is suitable for hiking, for a picnic, and for playing in the forest in nature for cheerful company children. One leads, the rest run away. The one whom the leader touches becomes water himself.

"Classics" Classics are drawn with colored crayons on the asphalt - cells with numbers from 0 to 10 inclusive. The child puts a pebble on the number zero, jumps on one foot into this square and tries to move the pebble to the next number, according to the rules of counting. Moreover, this must be done in such a way that neither the foot nor the pebble hit the line of the drawn classics. The winner is the child who accurately jumps all 10 classes.

Games-competitions and children's games in nature for a fun company of children

"Bunny" Children stand in a row on the drawn line, each child must make three jumps. The one who jumps the farthest in these three jumps wins.

"Heron - swallow" The leader is selected. He comes up with tasks, and the guys must complete these tasks. For example, one of the tasks may be to stand on one leg as long as possible in the pose of a swallow, or to depict a heron.

Spring - autumn games

Slush, cold wind and drizzle are not very conducive to walks in the fresh air. Despite this, children need to walk in any weather. So even mud and light rain should not scare you. Here are some games that you can play with your kids.

"Birds in Nests" On the pavement or on the ground you need to draw circles. It's like a nest. There should be one less such nest-circles than playing children. The host says: “All the birds are in the nests,” and the children should each stand in their own circle. When the leader says: “The birds are flying free!”, the children run out of the circles, run, play. But as soon as the leader says again: “Birds in the nests!” Everyone should return to their circle. The leader also occupies one of the circles. The child left without a circle becomes the leader.

"Ships" Often a father, having gone for a walk with a child, has absolutely no idea what to do with a child and what to play. The game "Ships" is the simplest and at the same time very interesting game for both a child and an adult. You can make a paper boat using origami. And you can take any sliver or just a match, find a stream and launch improvised boats.

"Private Tree" On the street, in the forest, on a hike - anywhere you can always talk with your child about the need to love and protect the world around us. Any child will gladly agree to help plant, for example, a tree or shrub. And then he will visit his tree or bush, watch how the plant grows and tell his friends with pleasure that this is his personal tree.

Winter Games for children and parents

You can come up with many different interesting games for absolutely any time of the year, but, perhaps, winter, despite the snow and cold, offers just an incredible amount of all kinds of entertainment.

"Building a Castle" All boys and girls dream of building their own castle. Show them how it can be made from snow. For example, you can dig a snowy passage in a snowdrift!

"I know - I don't know" Even in winter, you can always take a ball outside with you and play the “I know - I don’t know” game. Of course, first you need to tell the child that there are wintering birds that stay here for the winter, and there are migratory birds - these are those that fly to warmer climes and return in the spring. And then, according to the principle of the game “Edible - inedible”, you ask the child a question - a wintering or migratory bird, and throw the ball, catches - a wintering bird, beat off - migratory.

As you can see, outdoor games with children are always interesting, informative and exciting not only for the children themselves, but also for adults. Play with your kids! After all, the most important thing is that you are together.
