When going on a picnic, you should think about what to do with children. We offer you several options for fun and active outdoor games for children. Give them the opportunity to run, make noise and have fun at your pleasure!
Summer outdoor games for kids with parents
- Many games contain cognitive information. For example, the smallest can offer the following entertainment: one of the parents, for example, mother, pronounces the phrase: "One, two, three - quickly to the birch tree you run!". The kid with the father should find the right tree, run up and touch it. After that, you can discuss with the child the features of the birch: its unusual color, shape, earrings, etc. Next, the game can continue, offering the kid to find a spruce, pine, bush, chamomile, etc. (depending on the surrounding landscape).
- Gather together a collection of pebbles, cones, colorful leaves. Houses from these materials can be made herbarium or an interesting hand-crafted article.
- When the baby comes to rest, lie down all together on the litter and look at the sky. You can guess what clouds look like - this is a wonderful development of the imagination.
Interesting children's games in nature
- If your picnic takes place in the forest, you can offer the children a contest, who raises the bump above or further than everyone, a match in accuracy (who will be more exact than a cone in a tree), etc.
- Leading pre-lay out on the forest path various bright objects brought with them. Children take turns on the route, return by another road (together with the adult), and then show their observation: it is necessary to tell where and what object lay.
- Two children are given a basket, and in a minute they must collect as many cones as possible. Who will collect more - he won! If there are a lot of children, they can be combined into teams of several people.
- You can play in the well-known to many adults game "chain". Its essence is as follows: the two teams of children stand opposite each other, holding hands, and then the captains of each of the teams in turn call one of the opponents' players. He must, having run up, to break their chain. If he succeeds, he takes one of two guys who did not keep the chain to his team. If the chain has survived, this player joins rivals. The game ends when only one person remains in one of the teams.
- "Treasure". This game is suitable for a family with several children. Give each child a map drawn in advance, where a hidden treasure is marked (a small toy, a chocolate, etc.). Specific icons mark on the map trees, hills, paths. The game teaches the child to navigate the terrain, and is usually very popular with children.
Ball games in nature
If you took a ball with you, then adults can join the game. In such games in nature you can play not only in summer, but
- "Hot potato". All players are in a circle at a distance of several steps from each other, and begin to quickly throw the ball in a circle. The player who does not catch sits down in the center of the circle. In order to help him out, you need to hit the ball on the back (if the ball is not heavy) or, if the ball is small, throw it so that the seated player catches it.
- Also in nature it is good to play volleyball, pioneerball , badminton, twister and other traditional games.
