Games for children on the street in summer

In summer, students and preschoolers spend practically all their time on the street. They play with their peers and try to throw out the accumulated energy, which is very important for a good rest during the longest vacation. Often, both kids and older children need the help of adults in organizing their own pastime. In this article, we offer to your attention several interesting and entertaining children's games for children, which you can play outdoors in the summer.

Active games for children on the street in summer

The simplest and most popular way to have fun is to split into two or more teams and arrange an exciting match. Kids of different ages enjoy competing with their friends and comrades, thereby cultivating team spirit and improving social communication skills. There are many team games for a group of children that can be used outdoors in the summer, for example:

1. "Jumpers". For this game, all the guys need to be divided into groups strictly for 3 people, each of which receives one rope 3 meters in length. At the whistle leading the players must begin to synchronously jump through the rope, trying not to fall. The prize is given to the team that managed to make the most jumps for a given period of time.
2. "My cheerful sonorous ball." All players are divided into 2 or more teams of 5 or more people. Participants of each team must stand still and quickly throw the ball to the next players clockwise. It is not allowed to tear off the feet from the ground, as well as drop the ball. Those who violated the rules of the game, drop out and wait for the end of the competition. The group that wins the most is the winner, or will retain a larger team.
3. "Sun". At a sufficiently large distance from the guys, 2 large hula-hoops are laid out on the ground, and a handful of gymnastic sticks is placed aside from them, the number of which coincides with the number of participants. Players are divided equally into 2 teams. All the children take turns running to their circle and laying sticks around it so that an imitation of the sun's rays is obtained. The guys who coped with their task faster than others win.

Games for two children outdoors in summer

To entertain the guys, it's not necessary to collect a large team. For a fun game, only two children of approximately the same age are sufficient, as well as the necessary equipment. In particular, in the summer on the street adults with two children can play in such exciting games as:

1. "Sly ball." For this game, the guys need a small ball and a jar of plastic or metal. The whole area on which the game is played should be drawn in parallel lines, the distance between which should be about 30 cm. This is done with chalk or a stick, depending on the type of surface. At the same and sufficiently large distance from the players should put the jar. Both participants take turns trying to knock the ball off the ball. The one who managed to complete the task, moves it one line closer to him. The winner is the player who was able to quickly move the projectile.
2. "Pull out of the circle." A circle with a diameter of 3 meters is drawn on the ground. Both participants enter the circle and stand on their right foot, holding the left one with their right hand. The free hand should be bent at the elbow and pressed to the body. The task of each player is to push the other out of the circle or force him to stand on 2 legs, using only the shoulders.
3. "Tug-of-war." For this game, a long line is drawn on the ground. Both players stand at a distance of about half a step from her opposite each other and hold hands. On the whistle, each child begins to pull the second participant to his side, forcing him to cross the line or stand on it with his foot. The one who could not resist - lost.
