Auntie Bad Weather and the Ghost Shurshik
Needless to say, the beginning of June does not please us with warm and sunny days - it’s only 15 degrees outside, rain, wind... Therefore, I came up with this holiday idea: Auntie Bad Weather comes to visit the children and adults sitting at the table by the smoking grill and a ghost named Shurshik.
The bad weather threatens to take away the warmth forever and deprive everyone of summer (it’s so harmful). But those present have a chance: they need to complete all of Auntie’s tasks, and then she will return the warmth. I got the role of Bad Weather, and my 6-year-old son was the ghost. For participating in games and winning competitions, he handed out candy to guests.
The costumes were made from what was found at the dacha: an old sheet turned into a ghost cape, a knitted shirtfront into an intricate hat, etc.
Summer chant
At the beginning, Bad Weather wanted to see how much those present were looking forward to summer. We need to shout this out loud. And this summer chant helped us (I composed it myself from lines of various poems that I found on the Internet):
Host: The sun is shining brightly. There is warmth in the air.
Host: And wherever you look - Everything around is light!
All: This summer, this summer, this summer has come to us!
Presenter: The meadow is full of bright flowers and grasses.
All: This summer, this summer, this summer has come to us!
Presenter: Everything is beautiful, the sky is clear, Everything in the area is blooming!
All: This summer, this summer, this summer has come to us!
Presenter: Everything around has turned green, turned red, turned blue!
All: This summer, this summer, this summer has come to us!
Presenter: Summer laughs joyfully at us through the open window,
All: This summer, this summer, this summer has come to us!
At the beginning of the game, it is stipulated that after each phrase of the leader, the participants must shout in unison in rhyme:
- This summer, this summer, this summer has come to us!
It turns out noisy and fun. Such a chant allows you to immediately stir up all the guests, even the most modest ones, and include them in the action 😉 You can hold such a competition right at the table.
Music competition in nature
Our favorite autoradio has this game: The caller must guess the song, the lyrics of which are read out in a “clumsy” literal translation. And we held our own competition based on this game. But we encrypted not only foreign, but also Russian songs.
In advance, I downloaded the lyrics of 4 foreign and 6 Russian songs from the Internet, printed them out, and at the same time recorded the compositions themselves onto a flash drive. I chose these:
- Pan Americano - Pamericano - Yolanda Be Cool - We No Speak Americano (this is a modern version that was a hit in 2010, and the full original version is Renato Carosone - Tu Vuò Fa' L'Americano).
- Boney M - Sunny.
- PSY - Gangnam Style.
- Scooter - How Much Is The Fish.
- ESTRADARADA - Vitya Needs to Get Out.
- MATRANG - Medusa.
- Philip Kirkorov - The color of mood is blue.
- Olga Buzova - Not enough halves.
- Eljay & Feduk - Rose Wine.
- Mushrooms - Melting Ice.
Of course, only adults can guess these songs. For children, you can additionally select several children's songs. We chose songs to our taste, from the most famous, hit and a little funny. I didn’t come up with a description of the song in advance, I just took the text and read out some phrases, key words, or just said what the song was about. When they guessed right, she played the song (not the whole thing), Shurshik gave her some candy. Whoever wanted to danced
Example: "A song about a woman who wanted to escape from the hustle and bustle. She succumbed to the influence of the night, and with the advent of darkness she felt that passion had power over her. Goosebumps ran through her body, and, holding panties (bikini) in her hands, she felt like a goddess” (Kirkorov - The color of the mood is blue).
Something like this, I made it up on the fly, it turned out cool :))) You don’t have to read the entire description. The best thing to do is to pause and let yourself think. For each song guessed, Shurshik awards a prize. By the way, our little Shurshik was a little tired by this time, so we gave this role to an adult.
Musical competition in nature: Option 2
And last year we held a competition with musical “predictions”, at the same “Hello, Summer!” party. But that time I was the Summer Fairy. The Fairy put a wreath on everyone’s head and an excerpt of a song sounded, supposedly a prediction for the coming summer.
Game in a circle “Jumping - not jumping”
It's time to get out from behind the table and do a little stretching. Everyone stands in a circle. The presenter reads out the names of animals, birds, objects that “jump or don’t jump.” When the presenter names a jumping object/animal, everyone jumps; if not, they don’t jump. The presenter starts slowly, then the listing of items speeds up. The one who makes a mistake is out of the game.
I managed to come up with the following list of jumping/non-jumping objects and creatures:
- ball, watermelon, kangaroo, cucumber, bucket, hare, apple, man, pie, snowman, tit, cabbage, tennis ball, rabbit, chair, cat, mushroom, trampoline, grasshopper, log, orange, flea, log, axe, hammer , nail, thrush, lantern, pillar, beads, leopard, snake, snail, lion, slipper, boa constrictor, jaguar, hedgehog.
Whoever remains wins, Shurshik gives him a prize!
Relay game "Sponges"
4 people participate. You will need: 2 small basins and 2 saucepans, 2 foam sponges for washing dishes, 2 chairs.
Participants are united in two pairs. Empty basins are placed on chairs, and pairs of participants stand opposite them, at a distance of 5 meters. The first participant holds a saucepan of water, the second, at the leader’s command, must pick up water with a sponge and transfer (squeeze) it into an empty container as quickly as possible.
Initially, each couple should have an equal amount of water (measured in glasses). The winner must not only move all the water the fastest, but also as much of it as possible.
At the end of the relay we also used glasses to measure the amount of water transferred. It’s interesting that one team got only 1.5 glasses of water out of 4. Where did the remaining 2.5 glasses go?
Relay race for adults “Bring the snack”
2 people participate. You will need: 2 plastic glasses filled with popcorn, chips or salted peanuts, 2 glasses of vodka or 2 glasses of beer, 2 chairs.
“Snacks” (nuts, chips, etc.) are poured into glasses, and then they are placed on the toes of the participants’ shoes. Task: to bring the snack in this form to the chairs with “drinks” without helping yourself with your hands. It's not that easy to do, but it's damn fun! The one who reaches the finish line takes off the glass with the snack (or what was left of it while he was carrying it) from his shoes, drinks and has a snack.
Option for children: Carry the glasses on the toes of your shoes to the chairs, and then pour them into a plastic bottle, using only one hand.
Summer flash mob in nature
Now the song “Medusa” (MATRANG) is gaining popularity. And I came up with a flash mob with sea movements to this song. Movements on bridge and verse:
1st movement: We march on the spot (we go to the sea).
2nd movement: We put our hand to our forehead with a “visor”, rising on our tiptoes (we are looking for a jellyfish in the sea).
3rd movement: We pinch our nose with one hand, with the other hand we make a smooth movement from top to bottom and squat, as if we are going under water (diving into the sea).
4th movement: We spread our arms to the sides (swim).
5th movement: “Swim” with breaststroke.
Movements on the chorus (the words there are: “jellyfish, jellyfish, we are friends”):
6th movement: Hands to the sides and make wave-like movements with them, depicting a jellyfish.
7th movement: We turn the torso first in one direction, now we bring our hands together and also make wave-like movements, imitating the movements of a jellyfish, then in the other direction.
Auntie Bad Weather shows the movements, and the others repeat with her. All movements are repeated approximately 5-6 times. We danced the first verse and chorus with Auntie’s movements, and then composed it on the fly. Adults and children offered their own “sea” (and not only) movements. Before turning on the music, the movements can be spoken and shown, as if including the entire company in the plot. It turns out not just a flash mob, but a real marine musical game “jellyfish” for a group of adults and children.
I saw the movements on the chorus in this video, I’m giving a link, maybe it will help you 😉
Summer drawings
We have a small asphalt path next to our house, so the competition program ended with a drawing competition on asphalt:
- Draw what the word “Summer” means to you.
Sweet prizes for creativity to everyone.
Ritual with a candle
In conclusion, Auntie Bad Weather rejoiced at how well the adults and children completed all the tasks, actively participated and had a blast. Therefore, she returns warmth to us:
Tested in practice - the competitions listed are really very fun, suitable for adults and children, and will help you have a great time outdoors in the summer, even in not the best weather. However, we have a few more interesting competition ideas for a fun company.
Other Amazing Summer Outdoor Competition Ideas
We have held these games before, and they also went off with a bang. Instead of Auntie Bad Weather, last time the Summer Fairy came to us, wearing a wreath of wildflowers and a summer dress. The party also took place outdoors, in the summer, at a table with barbecue.
- Relay race “Planting Potatoes”(a very relevant game for the garden). Participants line up in 2 lines (2 teams). The first runs with a shovel and “digs a bed”, the second “makes holes” (puts hoops), the third “plants potatoes” (drops small balls into hoops), the fourth runs again with a shovel, the fifth runs with a watering can (watering). You can come up with your own variations and equipment. The team that “plants potatoes” the fastest wins.
- Musical comic competition “Summer Predictions”. The presenter dresses up as a “summer fairy” who arrives all dressed up in a wreath and a summer dress. The Summer Fairy begins to “predict” what awaits those present this summer: She puts her wreath on the participant sitting at the table. And then a song with a “prediction” sounds. Song cuts must, of course, be prepared in advance. Example: the composition “Sea, sea, bottomless world” sounds - this means the guest will go to the sea; song “Rains, slanting rains” - there will be rainy weather all summer. Etc. We did this: we simply downloaded songs from the Internet and cut the desired passage using a free online song cutting program.
We share ready-made cuts with comic “predictions”: download from Yandex.Disk
- Competition "Clothespins" for adults. In summer, multi-colored clothespins can be found at any dacha. Two couples (m+f) participate. One is blindfolded, the other is attached with clothespins in the most unexpected places. The blindfolded participant must feel his significant other and remove all clothespins. The couple that does it faster wins. An oldie, but always a fun one!
An unusual game of hide and seek “Herring in a Barrel”
More suitable for a group of school-age children. The essence of the game:
- One player hides, and the rest remain to count to one hundred. After this, all participants begin to look for the first one. The one who finds him sits next to him in his shelter. The game continues until the hidden person and the people around him are found by the penultimate participant in the game. Well, the one who never found the “barrel of herring” loses.
Have fun in the summer outdoors! We will be glad if you share your ideas 😉
It was so hot over the weekend that I didn’t want to go outside at all. And dragging yourself to the beach is simply torture when the thermometer is +35. Therefore, I stocked up on magazines and newspapers at the kiosk and, drinking a cold cola, relaxed my brain with non-straining reading material, including women’s reading.
Bears - boom!
It’s more interesting if no one (or the majority) in the company knows about the rules of the game. The presenter asks the participants to stand in a line, he himself becomes the first and declares: “You are bears. The bears go for a walk (everyone is waddling in place), the bears are tired - they sat down to rest (the “bears” squat down), rested - they went again. They walked, walked - tired, sat down. This can be repeated, providing the story with details in the style of “the sun was shining, the birds were singing,” etc. When everyone relaxes and sits down again, the leader says: “Bears - boom!” - and lightly pushes the next one with his shoulder player. The bears fall one after another like dominoes. Everyone laughs in surprise: indeed, the bears - boom!
Who's going north?
Here it’s the same as in “Bears” - the fewer participants know the rules of the game, the better. Ideally, only the presenter knows them. He suggests going on an expedition to the north. To do this you need to get together. Everyone should offer the things necessary for the trip. Everyone sits in a circle, the move is passed from participant to participant with some object (spoon, fork, pencil - whatever). The leader (he knows the rules and always goes north) begins. He says: “I’m going north and taking with me... a warm scarf,” and passes the move to his neighbor. When passing a move (that is, some object), he says the word “please” and adds “And I’m going north.” The next player, who does not know the rules (usually there are no those who guess right away), says “I’m going north and taking with me... warm gloves” and silently passes the move. The presenter states: “And he is NOT going north.” Actually, the point of the game is that when passing the turn, the players must say the magic word “please”, and everyone, as a rule, focuses on the list of things and cannot understand the logic why the leader takes some on the expedition and not others. After some time, those who managed to guess what was going on try to push the others to the right idea, and begin to take with them to the north all sorts of things that are extremely “useful” for this journey.
- swimsuits or tanning products, while saying the word “please” louder. You can also give a hint by saying that only polite and well-mannered people go north. The game ends when everyone has guessed how to go north.
Maternity hospital
All participants are divided into pairs: M and F. Outside the pair - only the leader. All men in the game are mothers of newborns, all women are fathers. The game simulates a situation where mothers in a room behind a closed window try to tell fathers standing on the street details about the baby. Accordingly, they cannot hear each other - they can only use gestures. The pair members sit opposite each other. The presenter hands out pieces of paper to the “mothers” on which details are written, for example, they need to show with facial expressions and gestures that “this is a boy, and his ears are just like your grandfather’s” (it is advisable that each pair have tasks of equal complexity in the display). The presenter gives the “fathers” pens and blank pieces of paper. On command, the couples begin the game: the male “mother” tries to convey to his partner what the presenter wrote to him. The woman “father” writes down on her piece of paper what she saw and understood. Time is limited - for example, a minute. The winner is the couple in which what the woman “father” saw is closer to the presenter’s task.
Snake
The presenter approaches each player and says: “I am a snake, snake, snake... I crawl, crawl, crawl... Do you want to be my tail?” He answers: “I want!” - and stands behind him, clasping the “snake’s head” around the waist. So they approach everyone else and ask them to join in unison. When the snake gets long and no one else wants to be the tail, the snake says: “I am a hungry snake, I will bite my own tail!” - and tries to catch his tail. Players need to hold on tightly to each other and keep the tail away from the head. Those who broke away leave the game, and the snake continues to catch its tail.
You can make the game more difficult: when new players join the tail, they must crawl on all fours between the legs of the snake, starting from its head. This game has a rule - you can't refuse. If the company is large, you can gather two snakes, each trying to catch the tail of the other. The winning snake “eats” the losing one - it crawls between the winners’ legs.
Swap places!
The company sits on chairs (there is one less of them than the participants) in a circle, the leader is in the center, he announces: “Change places, everyone who has...” - he can name anything, from “who has blue eyes” to “who has had more than ten lovers” or “who loves blondes (blondes)”, “who doesn’t wear thongs”... The longer the game, the more frank the questions. The named players (blue-eyed or blonde lovers) must stand up and quickly move to one of the vacant seats. If the selection criterion also applies to the presenter, he also takes part in the search for a seat, then the one who did not have enough chair becomes the new presenter. If only one person stands up, then he will continue to lead the game, and the old leader sits in his place. To prevent people from staying too long, you can periodically command: “Change places, everyone who is in a good mood right now!”
Ministry of Railways
This requires one “dunno” victim. The rules are explained to him: he asks questions to the players in a circle, the players answer him “yes” or “no”. The task of the “dunno” is to guess who is hiding under the abbreviation MPS. Everyone stands in a circle, “Dunno” (he is in the center) begins to ask questions. The trick is that when answering the question “Is this a man?”, one player can say “yes”, and the next one can say “no” (because MPS is “My right neighbor”, and each player standing in the circle says about your neighbor on the right). Usually the “know-nothing” guesses who the MPS is when he starts asking the same question in a circle. But this happens, as a rule, on the fifteenth lap. There is also a variation on the same theme: a sticker is glued to the “victim’s” forehead, on which any character is written - be it Alexander Pushkin, Pinocchio, or even the victim herself. You can mock them even more and call the victim a pumpkin or swine flu. The victim’s goal is to receive “yes/no” answers to his questions and guess as quickly as possible what is written on her forehead.
Hanging pear
Prank game. You need to choose an artistic couple - preferably a girl and a young man, but not necessarily. The two presenters separate them and explain the task. One is told that he will have to go into the room, take a chair and pretend to screw in a light bulb. A partner or partner will interfere with him in every possible way. The goal of the player “with the light bulb” is to use gestures to explain to his friend that he is doing the right thing and soon there will be light in the room. You can't talk. They explain to the second that the first player is portraying a man who has decided to hang himself, and the task is to wordlessly dissuade him from taking an insane step. While they are being instructed, the others are also explained what the essence of the matter is, and when the participants in the game enter the room, the audience is already having fun.
Snowflakes
Everyone in the company is given a “snowflake” - a small ball of cotton wool. Participants loosen their “snowflakes”, at the same time launch them into the air and begin to blow from below so that the fleeces remain in the air as long as possible. The winner is the one whose snowflake falls to the floor last.
Noah's Ark
The presenter writes in advance the names of the animals on pieces of paper (each creature has a pair: two hares, two giraffes, two elephants...), folds the pieces of paper and puts them in a hat. Each participant draws out “their purpose,” and the presenter announces that now they need to find their pair, but they cannot make sounds or speak. You need to use facial expressions and gestures to portray your animal and look for “one like you.” The first couple to reunite wins. You can think of characteristic animals like a hare (show your ears - and you’re done), but it’s more interesting to come up with something less recognizable, such as a hippopotamus or a lynx.
Broken fax
Two teams play. Everyone runs after each other, everyone gets a piece of paper and a pencil. Last in both rows, the presenter shows a simple drawing; the participants must draw the same on their sheet, lying on the back of the player standing in front, who, in turn, reproduces the drawing according to his feelings. The team whose final drawing is more similar to the original wins.
Cavalrymen
The more pairs, the more interesting. It is necessary that each couple has a guy (even better if it is a guy and a girl). The cavalryman puts on a cap or Panama hat and sits on the stove (on the back) of the “horse”. The goal is to rip off as many hats as possible from the “enemies” without losing yours.
You will need a couple dozen balls of two colors and a lot of space. Each participant ties an inflated balloon to his leg (so that the ball lies on the ground, or better yet, drags a little). The task is to destroy all the opponents' balls with kicks and protect your own. The player whose ball is tapped is eliminated. The one with the last whole ball left wins.
Kangaroo
This prank game is reminiscent of the popular “crocodile” (or “association” - when players are divided into two teams, a “victim” is selected from the group of opponents, a word or phrase, the name of a movie or book is given to her, and she needs to convey this information to her with facial expressions and gestures. to let them guess). But here everything is simpler.
The presenter, calling one player aside, asks him to show the kangaroo. The catch is that absolutely everyone knows what this word is. Their task is to make whatever ridiculous guesses they want, just don’t say “kangaroo.” Usually the game goes on for a long time: the unfortunate kangaroo points at his belly and jumps in front of the spectators dying with laughter, who suggest in bewilderment: “a pregnant hare... a limping dinosaur...” The main thing is to take pity on the unfortunate kangaroo in time, who is waving his arms in despair from the incompetence of his friends and shouts: “I’m showing it again for the idiots!” - and stop.
Snails
You need to draw two lines on the ground at a distance of two to three meters. The players' task is to get from the start to the finish line as slowly as possible, but in no case stopping or changing the direction of movement. The slowest snail wins.
Words words
A game for a quiet, rainy evening in the country. There are several variations.
First:
No more than three minutes are given for everything. In this short time, participants must write a short story in which all words (including prepositions) must begin with the same letter.
Second: The word chosen is not very long, but not very short either. It must necessarily be a singular noun. The same three, or maybe five minutes are given. During this time, only from the letters present in the word (if there is only one “N” in the word, then the word cannot be used with a double “N”), you need to make as many words as possible (also nouns and also in the singular). The one with the most words wins.
Third: almost man-made "Erudite". A word is invented, and prefixes and suffixes are added to it to form new words. You can assign both horizontally and vertically. Strictly one letter per player.
Princess on the Pea
The participants of the game stand facing the audience, with a chair behind each. The leader places a spoon, a spool of thread or a small cube on it and covers it with a thin pillow. Players take turns sitting on a chair and trying to guess what the object is under them. Time - 2 minutes, no more. Another variation: walnuts (well, almost peas?) are placed on the chair. In this case, the player tries to determine how many there are - this option is closest to the fairy tale.
Evgenia Mitina, Cosmopolitan magazine (July/August 2009)
Thank you all for your attention, love
Fun preparations, games, fortune telling, congratulations for outdoor events
You can celebrate anything in nature - birthdays, professional holidays, promotions, meeting classmates, etc. And if nature was chosen as the location for the holiday, then the heroine of the day will be none other than Friday.
Starting price - Ten rubles. Whoever buys will make the bargaining more fun!
Dedication to beautiful Friday
Everything was decided unanimously
Happy Friday to recognize you.
Now all the guests will do just that
The newborn's name is today.
There is no Robinson in the world,

What a bright, wonderful banquet!
When the whole company has had a good meal, it’s time to hold active competitions, relay races, and dances. I can suggest the following.
"Olympic Swim"
Three conditions are required:
1) river (sea, lake, pond, etc.);
2) desire to swim, swim;
3) participants who can swim.
Beautiful Friday, having sailed with a lifebuoy 10 meters from the shore, gives a start to all swimmers who need to touch her lifebuoy faster than others. All guests who can swim can take part in the swim. I don’t know if my remark will be appropriate, but I’d rather say it than remain silent: dear Fridays, if your feast was accompanied by a vigorous tasting of high-proof drinks, then it’s better not to hold water competitions, as well as competitions that require increased attention!
Show concert (improvisation)
The entertainment will be a complete surprise for the guests, since the numbers were not rehearsed or agreed upon in advance. Simply, the manager of the festive celebration offers to choose a coupon for good luck, and in it - the role of one or another artist, which must be performed by the “lucky” one who pulled out the coupon.
Texts of coupon advertisements for concert performances
We greet all our idols with applause!
And affectionate
Therefore, I agree to sing to us
Kolya Baskov!
The phonogram of N. Baskov’s favorite song will come to the aid of the “lucky one”, and all he has to do is open his mouth and move, imitating a star.
Now we will all see
Eruption,
And for men, it’s so easy
Can't hold a glass...
Show concert (improvisation)
On the stage there is a woman-ammunition,
Air bomb, anti-tank land mine!
This lady will give everyone a thrashing here -
We invite Verka Serduchka to the stage!
Couples - a man and a woman - should receive coupons for this concert number.

Having sowed discord,
The singers broke through
Borya Moiseev!

Anastasia Volochkova
To successfully perform this show concert number, you will need a phonogram of Tchaikovsky’s music from the ballet “Swan Lake” (dance of the little swans), and a ballerina’s tutu. The participant who received a ticket with this task and eats puts on a tutu and portrays a famous ballerina.
Now the fouetté will spin
Ballet star...
Anastasia Volochkova,
Is that you?!
Let's give it a lift, Nastenka,
Three swans for you,
Please with ballet
The assembled people!
"Next feet and no cheating"
Everyone who ends up on the “deserted island” is divided into two teams. Conditions of the game: teams lie on their backs opposite each other and use their legs to pass a “gift” for Friday from one team member to another. Each group should have its own “gift”. The winner is the team that delivers their surprise faster and without using their hands. A small fabric bag of sand, tied with a beautiful ribbon, can act as a “gift”.

Game "Song Questions and Answers"
As a rule, all participants in this game are divided into two teams: the 1st team asks a question from a song, the 2nd answers with words from any suitable (or inappropriate) song.
Examples:
“Why, why... why is the accordion singing?”
“My dear, good, guess for yourself.”
“Why do you wander alone all night,
Why don’t you let the girls sleep?”
"I'm just working, I'm just working
A wizard."
“Why do you girls love beautiful people?”
"Don't think down on seconds,
The time will come, you yourself will probably understand...
“Why, why did you meet again,
Why did you disturb my peace?
“Something has happened to my memory:
I remember everything that was not with me...”
“Why are you standing there, swaying,
Thin rowan?
“And we are rocked, rocked,
Sea wave."
“You’ll come home, and at home they’ll ask:
Where did you walk, where were you?
“And the dark-skinned Moldavian
She answered the guy in harmony:
Partisan Moldavian
We are gathering a squad..."
Have you decided to go to the country? Or just have a picnic with friends, somewhere near the city? Or maybe barbecues are planned for the weekend? To fully relax in nature, take with you not only delicious food and a variety of drinks, but also some fun games for the company!
Ready for a little physical activity?
As soon as a group of adults, very cultured and probably drinking people find themselves in nature, they immediately want to feel like children again! This includes being active. The patented tool is a fun and, importantly, compact game “Twister”. Spin the disk, see what you get, and strictly follow the instructions. Need to place your right foot on the yellow circle? Place your bet. And the left one - to green? A little dexterity and you will succeed. So what if you have to slightly lie down on another player - this is the most fun moment of the game!
How about throwing some balls?
Are you familiar with the word "Pétanque"? Then your hands are itching to pick up the ball and deftly throw it: so as to be closer to the target or, conversely, to throw the enemy’s ball away from it. Never played? Then take my word for it: “Pétanque” requires accuracy, like bowling, strategic thinking, like billiards, and seriously captivates both children and adults. Don't want to believe? Then try it: a set of 6 balls takes up very little space in the trunk, buy it and take it with you on a picnic!
Take the hit, you won't go wrong!
Any of the games where you need to explain words to your partner can be played easily and with pleasure both at home and outdoors. Moreover, in an open space it’s even better: you can make noise without being embarrassed by your neighbors. Take a closer look at “Activity”, “Elias” and “Crocodile” and “Boom” - any of these games will easily become the highlight of the party.
Civilians fall asleep...
Another great game for outdoor recreation with a large group is “Mafia”. After all, eight, ten, or even twenty players can play it with equal success. The more, the merrier. In this psychological game, civilians communicate during the day and try to figure out the mafia, and sleep at night while awake thugs choose their victims... In addition, the set includes many other interesting roles: for example, a commissioner, a doctor, a maniac, a lawyer and a werewolf. Plastic cards can be safely taken with you anywhere - they are difficult to get wet and almost impossible to tear or wrinkle.
A cheerful company in nature will always find the alcoholic card game “Ruff” useful. The small box is easy to throw into a glove compartment or a woman's bag, and if necessary, take it out and have fun playing with it. Essentially, this deck of cards is a set of fun tasks that you need to complete and, if you fail, drink. There’s even a little erotica there: for example, cards like “take your clothes off” and “swap clothes with your neighbor.”
To be honest, holding such a holiday is quite difficult. Firstly, having found themselves on a picnic, the last thing children want to do is play in an organized manner - everyone has their own interesting thing to do. Secondly, organizing a children's party in nature requires certain physical characteristics. For example, a loud voice :-).
If you still decide to gather guests for a picnic and are planning an entertainment program, without having the temperament of a clown and the skills of an experienced animator, use my selection of competitions.
I chose only those games and competitions in nature that are easiest to organize (most of them can be carried out with a number of participants from 4 people).
So far there are only 20 ideas, but I plan to add interesting outdoor competitions to this article, so over time there will be many more!
Throwers and throwers :)
I like this competition for its simplicity and objectivity in identifying the winner. It is easy to determine who hit the target more times.
Options:
- At a distance of 10 child steps, hit a tree trunk with a cone. Each person has, say, 10 attempts.
- Use a stick to knock down some structure made of dry twigs (let's call it a “forest bast”).
- Place an empty pan (basin, bucket) at a distance of several steps. We compete in accuracy by throwing small rubber balls, toys or the same cones. If there is no empty container, we simply look for a hole in the ground.
- Tie the rope to a horizontal tree branch so that its end reaches the ground. We tie a small bag with a ball (cones, toys) to the lower end of the rope, as long as it is some kind of harmless “weight”. The players take the “weight” in their hands and move a few steps to the side. You need to shoot down objects standing at some distance from the center. Here is the drawing.
- Another variant of the previous game. You need to choose a leader who will swing the “pendulum”, and things (bottles, juice boxes, sticks, pebbles, toys) need to be folded in the center. Players need to run up and pick up the item before the “pendulum” returns.
- Make a fishing rod. Tie a rope with a weight at the end to a 1.5-2 meter stick. With this weight you need to knock down small objects at a distance slightly greater than the length of the stick, swinging the rope.
Catch-up games
Bear
Lay out the toys, pots, bags and things that you brought for a picnic in the clearing. Place a bear in the center of this composition, at a distance of 5-7 steps, draw a line on the ground, behind which there will be a “house”. The presenter shouts: “The bear has woken up!” Children must save property and put it behind the line, and the bear can only catch the one who has nothing in his hands (at the moment when the child returns for things from the safe line). The one who collects the most things wins. And the player who finds himself in the bear’s clutches becomes a bear.
Catch-up “Short Legs”
Participants in the game will need to catch up and run away with an empty plastic bottle held between their knees.
Paints
The players line up. The presenter turns away and moves away 5 steps.
- Knock Knock?
- Who's there?
- I don’t know myself.
- Why did you come?
- For paint.
- For which one?
- For the blue one!
Everyone who has this color on their clothes holds on to this color with their hands and remains in place, the rest run away from the leader. The one who was caught drives next.
Fights
Balloon fight
This game will be fun in nature. Tie small balls to the players' right ankle (a rope no more than 30 cm). Only 2 players participate in the duel. Hands are not involved, they need to be clasped behind your back. The winner is the one who manages to burst the winner's balloon with his foot. The one who wins gets a new opponent with a ball on his leg. This continues until one player remains with a whole ball on his leg.
Knight Tournament
If you have a relatively flat and not thick log, you can fight with long thin balls. The winner must stand on the beam.
Comic games
Game "Steam Train with Obstacles"
Stage 1 of the game.
Between the trees at a height of 30-40 cm, stretch the rope in zigzags. All participants of the holiday stand in the train one after another, holding the waist. To the music, the first player begins to move in small steps, choosing a difficult route. You need to step over a rope, walk around a tree, and so on. It's just fun, especially if there are more than five participants.
Stage 2 of the game.
One of the players is taken aside and tightly blindfolded with a scarf. At this time, the rope needs to be removed and brought to the beginning of the route. And now the presenter tells you how to raise your leg, how many steps to take, where to turn. The player follows commands, thinking that the rope remains in place and diligently overcomes non-existent obstacles. Try it, it's fun!
Relay races:
Shashlik
Best suited for an autumn picnic as it requires fallen leaves. As usual, we divide the children into teams. We collect leaves in advance. Determine the running distance (no more than 6-7 meters). At the end of the route, provide each team with a skewer (a stick on which to string a leaf). The player runs, strings the piece of paper onto a stick, and returns to the team. The winner is the team that, naturally, will have the most luxurious kebab by the time the funny children's song ends.
Jerboa
A distance of 5-7 meters and back must be overcome by holding the ball tightly between your knees. At the same time, you can take cones, nuts or small pebbles into the “mink”. The winning team is revealed again at the end of the song.
Ember
We divide the children into two teams. We collect small pebbles or cones according to the number of participants. Small juice boxes will also work. You need to not just run and put a coal in the fire, but move, throwing the object slightly upward. This is a coal, it burns your hands! The team that finishes its fire the fastest wins.
Firefighters
A game for hot weather. Each team member has empty disposable cups. Teams need to be lined up with their right side to the direction of movement.
The last player in the line must have a full glass of water. On command, he pours water into his neighbor’s empty glass as carefully as possible, runs and becomes the first (necessarily next to the previous participant). It is the turn of the one who now has a full glass of water. He also pours it over to his neighbor. This is how you need to get to your goal. The team with the most water left at the end of the relay wins.
On the Zavalinka
Everyone was running around, tired. We sat down on a log...
Time for sedentary games and competitions, which, by the way, are also very fun.
Conductor-trainer
The host divides the guests into groups (if there are few children, each gets a separate role). Let frogs, cows, dogs, cats, pigs, ducks, bees, sheep, and so on appear at your holiday.
They will have to sing a song for the birthday boy to the melody of “ Happy Birthday to You." First, everyone sings a line. The conductor points with his baton, and...
Kva-kva-kva-kva woof-woof
Oink-oink-oink-oink meow-meow
Quack-quack-quack-quack zhu-zhu-zhu
Mu-mu-mu-mu beee-beee….
And now all together!
The main thing is that there are no other vacationers nearby, since the choir turns out to be very solemn :-).
The fairy tale has come to life
Let's take the simplest children's fairy tale. All guests get roles. Those who lack the main characters become trees, sun, clouds, wind.
“Masha and the Bear” is best suited for the forest. Just think about who you will give the role of the stump, because a bear will sit on it!
Crocodile on a picnic
One of the participants gestures to show some item needed in nature, the rest guess. Matches, firewood, barbecue meat, a thermos, a backpack and a pump look fun in this pantomime.
