How to take children on the street with the benefit of their health?

In general, outdoor games are organized outside the premises , because children like to move: run, jump over barriers, etc. Among the most interesting of them we note:

  1. "Hello". All players form a circle, becoming shoulder to shoulder, their faces deployed inside the circle. The leader slowly walks around the circle along the outer perimeter and touches one of the participants. After that, he and the host begin to quickly run in different directions along the outer perimeter of the circle. Encountering, the children quickly shake hands, say hello and run further, trying to take an empty place in a circle. The one to whom this did not succeed becomes a guide. Among outdoor games in the outdoor camp is one of the simplest.
  2. "Traffic light". On the court, draw two lines, the distance between which is 5-6 m. The players are placed behind one of these lines, and the leader is in the middle of the back to the participants. He should say aloud the name of any color. The task of the players is to run past the leader to the second line so that he does not touch them. If there is no clothes of the named shade on the child, the leader does not touch it, and if there is one, he can touch it, and then the caught child becomes the lead. Organizing such games on the street, designed for a summer camp, is very simple, because no additional equipment is required.
  3. "Path". Children form a chain, holding their waists, and the one who is in her chapter becomes a guide. All move in the form of a "snake" along the path, repeating the movements of the guide, who can run, jump, climb through various obstacles. In this case, participants should not violate the integrity of the chain. If this happens, the game ends.
  4. "The enchanted castle." This is one of the children's favorite sports games for the outdoor camp. Of the participants, 2 teams are created, one of which "deceives the castle", and the second one tries in every way to prevent it. In the role of the castle can act as a wall or tree. Near the "castle" are the "main gate" - the children from the second team, who were blindfolded. At the command of the leader, the players from the team that is deconstructing the castle quietly begin to move towards the "gate". Their task is to reach the "gate" and quietly pass through them to the "castle" unnoticed. However, if the "gates" besiege them, the members of the first team are considered retired. Such games on the nature in the camp are always very entertaining.
  5. "Nest". Participants form a circle and crouch down, holding hands. So they form a "nest" for the "bird" - the child in the middle of the circle. Outside there is another "bird" - the leading child, who gives the command: "Birdie flies!". Players of the "nest" rush in all directions and fly, depicting birds. At the command "In the nest!" Players again must quickly squat. Who did not have time, turns into a presenter. Among all the fun games for the camp, which are played in the fresh air - this is one of the most accessible for children of all ages.
  6. "A hare without a lair." Players form pairs, unfold their faces to each other, link their hands and lift them up. In this way, "hare houses" are obtained. Similar games for the camp outdoors resemble competitions, as here they choose "hare" and "hunter". "Hare" runs away from the pursuer and at the same time can hide in the "house", that is, be between the players. The one to whom he turned his back, becomes a new "hare". If the "hunter" touched the "hare", they change roles. Such games for the camp in the open air will always be interesting for both very small children and for older children.
