The role of play in the formation and development of the child cannot be overestimated. It is in the game that the child learns the world around him, its laws, learns to live by the rules. All children love to move, jump, jump, run a race. Outdoor games with rules are a conscious, active activity of the child, which is characterized by the timely and accurate completion of tasks related to the rules that are binding on all participants. An outdoor game is a kind of exercise with which children prepare for life.

Outdoor games are of great importance in the life of a child, as they are an indispensable means for a child to gain knowledge and ideas about the world around him. They also affect the development of thinking, ingenuity, dexterity, dexterity, moral volitional qualities. Outdoor games for children strengthen physical health, teach life situations, help the child get the right development.

Outdoor games for preschoolers

Outdoor games for younger preschoolers

Outdoor games on the go

Walking with children in kindergarten or aftercare in primary school, the teacher needs something to keep the children busy: an excellent solution is to organize outdoor games during a walk. First, the teacher introduces the children to various games, and later the children themselves, dividing into groups, will be able to decide which game they want to play. Outdoor games have a beneficial effect on the development of the child's body and strengthen the immune system. And the time of the walk flies unnoticed.

Before starting the game, the teacher needs to pay attention to the state of the playing field: are there any extra objects, fragments and anything that can prevent children from playing and create a traumatic situation - unfortunately, not only on the street, but also on the site of a school or kindergarten can be found a lot of trash.

Not a single noisy and cheerful holiday is complete without outdoor games, fun relay races and public entertainment. They create a special atmosphere of general fun, enliven a fading holiday and unite all guests. Particularly good are various competitive games at corporate parties, as they contribute to team building and in an unobtrusive game form raise team spirit in the team.

Many outdoor games and relay races, which are included in the entertainment program of adult holidays - come from childhood, but adult guests who have amused themselves to a certain "degree" play them with great excitement.

We offer a large selection of outdoor games for any holiday, which contains games and contests for different cases: for family holidays, for youth parties or for corporate events - the choice is yours.

1. Outdoor games for any holiday:

"Two centipedes".

This is fun entertainment to set the mood. All guests are divided into two teams - these will be two “centipedes”. Each player stands behind the other, takes the waist of the one in front.

Then cheerful music is turned on and different commands are given to the “centipedes”: “go around obstacles” (you can first put chairs), “move by squatting”, “disconnect the second centipede”, etc.

This can be done as a team activity by inventing a scoring system, but it is better to arrange it simply for fun and excitement, or during the dance break.

"Music has tied us".

Depending on how many pairs of players the host plans to call, he will have to stock up on so many coils of a narrow ribbon. The length of the tape is at least five meters.

The girls wrap this ribbon around their waists (it’s more convenient if someone helps), and their gentlemen, on the command of the leader, approach their partners, attach the free end of the ribbon to their belt and quickly begin to spin around their axis to incendiary music. This is necessary so that all five meters of the tape are already wound around his waist.

Which pair will quickly move the tape from the female waist to the male one, she won.

"Trouble in the chicken coop."

For this outdoor games are called or created in place of a couple, in each - one of the representatives of the strong and weak half of humanity, they will have to participate in a funny chase.

Men are blindfolded, but first they agree with their ladies who and how will “cluck”: ko-ko-ko, cluck-tah-tah, chick-chick, pee-pee-pee, chiv-chiv-chiv and so on - to whom, as far as fantasy is enough, according to this call, every blindfolded man must catch his “chicken”.

Immediately it is worth warning that the room for an imaginary chicken coop should be small. If the presenter has too impressive spaces at his disposal, then we advise you to fence off the “chicken nook” with ordinary chairs. "Trouble" is best arranged to the music - in this case fit the musical theme from the cartoon "Just you wait!", when the wolf also ends up in the chicken coop.

"The feet feed the artist."

Tamada solemnly announces that in order to stage a new blockbuster, he needs "the brave seven", the seven most talented and beautiful guests. If there are none, then he himself conducts the selection and selects candidates for the roles. Then he gives them small props or just cards with the name of the roles: Gingerbread Man, Grandmother, Grandfather, Bunny, Wolf, Bear and, of course, Fox.

Then he says that in vain we think that artists have an easy life. “The life of a Russian artist is hard and unsightly” - they, at times, in order to get a role, oh, how much they need to run. Therefore, if you want to become stars, you need to practice.

There are 7 chairs, the “artists” sit down, but as soon as the name of his hero is heard in the text, he quickly gets up and runs around the chairs. The host reads the fairy tale "Gingerbread Man", only to make it more interesting and unexpected for the participants - he improvises, and then he adheres to storyline, then he composes from himself - so that no one stays too long.

Here is an example: “Once upon a time there was a grandfather and Grandma ... Here Grandma and Grandfather come to visit ... Bear! And menacingly asks why Grandfather and Grandma do not have children. Frightened, Grandfather and Grandmother grab the first Bunny that comes across and present it to the Bear. But the Bear is not so easy to deceive. Then Grandfather and Grandmother begin to bake Kolobok ... "

When the guests run in plenty, you can give each a diploma of an honored artist, ask the audience to give them a standing ovation and remind them once again that "the legs feed the novice artist."

Such runners can be thematic and universal, and they are among the most popular

"Adventures in the Swamp".

Two participants in these "swamp" competitions are given a pair of sheets of paper - they will depict bumps. The goal of the players is to move from one end of the room or hall to the other, placing one sheet of paper under their feet in turn. You can step only on the issued "bumps".

The winner is the one who quickly passes the obstacle course back and forth, never stumbling from a paper sheet.

By the way, you can complicate the task and require the contestants to bring something from the opposite end of the room, that is, they go there lightly, and carry back in their hands, for example, a glass or a glass filled to the brim with alcohol. Whoever comes last drinks both as a penalty, and the winner gets a prize

"Pull the rope..."

For this game, two chairs are placed in the middle of the hall, a rope is placed under the chairs (the length should match the width of the two chairs), so that its ends stick out quite a bit from under the chairs. Then two players are called, who artistically walk around the seats to the music, and as soon as the music stops, they must stop quickly sitting on a chair and pull the rope lying under it. This is repeated three times.

The winner is the one who can pull the rope in his direction more often - he gets the prize!

"Fight for Survival".

On the ankles of the participants (the number can be any) they tie inflated balloons, two balls each. On command, everyone rushes to burst each other's balls with their feet, trying to protect their own.

The game continues until the last ball. The winner is the owner of that very last ball.

(More extreme variants of the outdoor game with balls can be found)

2. Team games and relay races for any holiday:

"Pass the sausage."

2 teams are formed, with any number of participants, the main thing is to get equal teams. Line up at the back of each other's head, each team is given long ball- sausage. Task: quickly pass the “sausage” sandwiched between the legs from the beginning of your column to the end. The last in the column, having received the ball, clamps it tighter and runs to the first player, taking his place. And so on until, again, the first player will not take his place. For each fall of the ball - one point is deducted

The team that does everything faster and with fewer penalty points wins.

"Nimble spoon".

The leader gathers two teams - male and female. They become against each other. Each team is given a large tablespoon. At the command of the host, each player must “skip” the spoon, that is, pass it through any hole in their clothes (through sleeves, trousers, belt, straps). Then the “nimble spoon”, having reached the last player of the team, should return back in exactly the same way.

The team with the fastest boat wins.

Merry relay race "Ferry and ferryman".

For this relay race, you will need two ice sleds and a long rope, about ten meters. We select the strongest participant from each team and send him to the “opposite shore”. Those who remained on “this shore” (there must be at least ten of them) take turns sitting in the sled. The strong man on the opposite side pulls them up to him, as if ferrying them across the river. Then the presenter's assistants deliver the ice cubes back, and the next batch is loaded onto them.

The second time, it is much easier for the “ferryman” to work, since the comrades who have already been transported may well help him in his work. By the way, different things happen “on the way”, and if there are those who have fallen from the sled, then they are out of the game and are considered “drowned”. At the finish line, there is always a count of the players who have safely crossed to the other side.

The winner is the team that will transport the most people and cope with this task faster. Such outdoor games are especially recklessly held at youth parties or corporate holidays.

"How are you?"

For a change, invite guests to measure each other's temperature. Then present a huge fake thermometer. The leader selects a team of boys and girls. A huge thermometer, of course, is placed under the left armpit of the first male player. He must measure the temperature of the lady opposite him, without using his hands, that is, the thermometer must migrate from one alleged patient to another. And so on until the players find out which of them has a fever. The “sick”, that is, the one who dropped the thermometer, is eliminated from the competition.

The “healthiest” team wins (the one that lost the fewest players). If both teams are in an equal position, the competition can be repeated, complicating the conditions, for example, speed up the pace (make a competition for a while) or offer to pass through one, while the player who is in the middle should not help in any way.

"Race in the mortar".

In this game, the participants will pretend to be hedgehogs, so they will need a "mortar" and a "broom" (bucket and mop). The bucket must have a handle, as you need to hold it while running.

The leader gathers two equal teams. He places one part of each team at one end of the hall, the other at the opposite. The first of the participants puts his left foot in the bucket, takes a mop in his hands and, holding the bucket by the handle, hurries to his team standing at the other end. There he passes the "fabulous" props to a teammate, who, in turn, rushes the run in the opposite direction.

Outdoor games

Fanta.

You will need: an opaque bag and notes with concepts, such as "adultery", "stormy delight", etc.

Each of the players in turn pulls out some concept from the bag, he is given time to prepare (about a minute), and he must depict this concept without words.

Cucumber.

You will need: big cucumber, apple or other vegetable or fruit.

The leader is selected. The rest of the participants stand in a circle shoulder to shoulder, hands all taken away behind their backs. The leader stands in the center of the circle. The apple is passed by the participants to each other as imperceptibly as possible, from hand to hand. The leader's task is to determine who has it. When the leader looks the other way, the one who has the apple in his hands should quietly bite off a piece and pass the apple further. The task of the players is to eat the whole apple.

If the leader guesses who has it, that person becomes the leader himself, a new apple is taken, and the game starts anew.

If the apple is eaten, and the presenter could not guess even once, then he performs some kind of phantom (at the discretion of the other guests).

At random.

The host selects a player, puts him on a chair, blindfolds him (or her).

Then the host randomly points to one of the guests and each time asks: “This one?” Until the player answers “yes”. Thus, the second player is selected.

Then they continue to ask the first one, showing an arbitrary number on their fingers: “How much?” (again until an affirmative answer is received).

Then, pointing to any parts of the body of the second player, they ask the question: “Here?”.

Thus, they get an answer which of the guests, how many times and where exactly the first player should kiss.

Coin.

You will need: a coin.

They choose a leader who sits on a chair, closes his eyes and clamps a coin with his lips.

The rest of the players stand in a row and pass each other some object (for example, a glass). When the host says: “Stop!”, The one who has the item being passed on in his hands must come up and pull the coin out of the leader’s lips with his lips, and then return to his place.

After that, the presenter opens his eyes and tries to guess who took his coin.

When the host guesses, the one who pulled out the coin takes his place, and the game continues.

Chained by one chain.

You will need: several colored ribbons.

All participants stand near the leader, who clamps the ribbons in his fist, holding them by the middle. Each player quickly grabs one end of the tape and the facilitator releases them. A couple, holding different ends of the same ribbon, kiss.

Strip show.

You will need: chairs (according to the number of participants).

Congratulations Games

Card.

First, as usual, the hero of the occasion is congratulated. To do this, you can prepare a congratulation template in advance, in which all adjectives are omitted. The text is written on a beautiful postcard, an empty space is left for the missing words.

On this ____________________ and ____________________ day, when so many ____________________ and ____________________ friends gathered in this ____________________ and ____________________ hall, at this ____________________ table, we want to ____________________ congratulate our ____________________ and ____________________ birthday! We want ____________________ to wish him (her) ____________________ days of life, ____________________ health, ____________________ friends and ____________________ love!

May he (she) be the most (oh) ____________________ on earth, may ____________________ success and ____________________ luck accompany you in life!

Happy birthday!

Your friends.

The text of the congratulations can be different, at your discretion. The one who prepared this congratulation at the holiday itself asks all the other guests to help him with the text. Guests should name any adjectives that come to mind, the leader writes them down in turn, gradually filling in all the empty spaces.

When the congratulation is ready, the presenter solemnly reads it out. The texts are very diverse, depending on the adjectives proposed at random, for example: deep, first, good, dear, lazy, complete, precious, correct, affectionate, harmful, powerful, honest, happy, rich, costly, small, best, whole, ticklish.

Here is the text we will end up with:

On this deep and first day, when so many lazy and fat friends gathered in this good and expensive hall, at this precious table, we want to properly congratulate our affectionate and mischievous birthday boy! We want to authoritatively wish him (her) honest days of life, happy health, rich friends and costly love!

May he (she) be the smallest on earth, may the best success and whole luck accompany you in life!

Happy birthday!

Your ticklish friends.

Wishes.

For this congratulation, you will need a fairly long rope, thread with a needle, a dark blindfold, scissors, and paper.

The rope is pulled in the room at the chest level of the birthday man. Then all the guests present cut out of paper what they would like to wish the hero of the occasion. It can be anything: a car, a baby doll, money, a computer, etc. The main thing is that there should be a lot of wishes, and it is better that they are not repeated. Then all these figures cut out of paper are fastened with a needle and thread to a rope stretched in advance, the birthday man is blindfolded, and he must reach the rope and randomly cut off one of his wishes (it is not allowed to choose a figure by touch). The fact that the birthday man himself chose at random will definitely appear with him this year.

Congratulations in verse.

Take a blank sheet of paper (preferably a long one) and pass it around the circle of guests. Each of the guests is invited to write a line of a poem (in turn).

This greeting has two options.

Option 1. The first of the guests writes a line so that its last word is written on a separate line, then the sheet is folded so that the main text is not visible, but only the rhyme is visible, and the sheet is passed further in a circle. The next guest must write his line in rhyme, and so that this text can also be closed, and the last word can be seen at the same time.

Happy Birthday.

Congratulations

Happiness, joy.

We have many gifts.

Good love.

Then the sheet unfolds and the whole poem is read aloud to the birthday man.

Option 2. The first line is given (it can be offered by the presenter) and written on a piece of paper.

The first of the guests writes his line in rhyme, closes the entire text (folds the sheet) and writes another line for the next "poet". The sheet is passed on in a circle. The next guest must write his line in rhyme, fold the sheet and offer his second line to his neighbor.

It turns out something like this:

Our dear Sveta!

Be always, winter and summer,

brighter red sun

We'll all have fun...

Birthday party.

In advance, secretly from the hero of the occasion, a full-length figure of a man is made of cardboard. It is desirable that this mannequin be as similar as possible to the birthday man (birthday girl).

Clothes cut out of paper are put on the mannequin. Then the host conducts the game: all guests are asked questions related to the hero of the day (for example, when was he born, where, favourite dish, favorite color, etc.). For each correct answer, one piece of clothing is removed from the mannequin. In the end, the mannequin remains either completely naked or covered in intimate places with leaflets with wishes (leaflets can be replaced with greeting cards).

Find congratulations.

They write a congratulation on a sheet of paper in advance (preferably in verse, but not necessarily), cut it into separate lines (or phrases) and place these pieces of paper in the folds of clothes (if the birthday boy is a man, then they hide in the clothes of girls, and vice versa). The hero of the occasion must, under the cries of the guests “cold - hot”, find all the lines as quickly as possible (you can turn on some fast, rhythmic music). Then the text is added up and read aloud.

Portrait The hero of the occasion is planted so that everyone can see him. A clean Whatman sheet is strengthened next to it. Each of the guests in turn should go blindfolded to the sheet, take a pencil (or felt-tip pen) and draw some part of the body of the birthday man. Then the next person comes up. When the portrait is finished, they make a cool congratulatory inscription on it and give it to the hero of the day.

Kisses.

A little baby is taken and starts among the guests in a circle. Each of the guests should congratulate the birthday man, and then, announcing: “I kiss (name of the hero of the day) on (part of the body)”, kiss the baby doll in the place that he called. You can't repeat! Of course, decent parts of the body quickly end, and nothing further limits the flight of fantasy ...

When the chrysalis goes full circle, the host announces: “And now everyone should kiss the birthday man himself where he just called!”.

You can try to pay off the birthday boy (if you don’t want to kiss him).

New Year

Every year, everyone in the world (both children and adults) is ready to believe in a fairy tale, in a miracle. This happens in winter, when the house is filled with the smell of pine needles, snow crunches under the windows and even the stars seem to burn brighter...

divination

at Christmas time or New Year girls can arrange real fortune-telling. Usually, with the help of fortune-telling, they want to find out the name and appearance of the betrothed, or how the future family will live, or answer questions that torment a person. Choose any of the fortune-telling below, try to look into the future. Maybe you can come up with something...

Underhand divination.

Everyone in the room takes off something. In the old days, it was usually a ring, but you can give any jewelry: an earring, bracelet, beads, brooch, hairpin, etc. All these things are put on a plate or a large dish, which is covered with an opaque scarf or any other cloth. Then the fortuneteller makes a prediction (sometimes songs were sung as predictions, but you can just say your wishes; of course, predictions must be good, although in the old days there were spy songs that even predicted early death ...), takes out without looking , any thing and asks to whom it belongs. The owner of the removed little thing, respectively, was predicted the future.

If you don't believe in divination in general, you can turn everything into a show. To do this, you can sing pre-selected verses from well-known pop songs as accompaniments and then address them directly to the owner of the removed jewelry.

For example, the verse is sung:

“Bananas, coconuts.

Orange Paradise.

You just have to want

Maybe the stars

You just have to want

Collect from the sky ... "

Then, without looking, they take out some thing, ask who it belongs to, and “translate” the prediction: “An unforgettable vacation awaits you this summer!”.

Divination with mirrors.

Girls usually guess at suitors. They put a device on the table, two mirrors are placed opposite each other behind it, so that a small corridor seems to form between them, two candles are placed on the sides. The girl turns off the light in the room, sits down at the table, lights the candles and says: “Costumed-betrothed, come to dinner with me.” Then she sits and looks in the mirror for a long time. When the face of her betrothed appears to her, she should throw a prepared handkerchief over the mirror.

Divination with a ring.

Pour water into a glass. Take for divination wedding ring, tie a thread to it. The fortuneteller holds the end of the thread in his hands and asks a question, and then brings the ring on the thread to the glass so that it does not touch the water, and watches. If the ring moves above the water in a circle to the left, then this means “yes”, to the right - “no”.

Divination for children.

You can guess any day, not only at Christmas time. A person who wants to know how many children and what gender he will have holds out his left hand, palm up. The fortuneteller takes a needle and thread and holds it above the palm of his hand. If the needle moves in a circle, the first child will be a girl, if from left to right or from top to bottom, a boy. When the needle freezes, take it aside and then bring it up again. So you can find out the gender of all other children and their estimated number. Divination stops when the needle, brought to the palm, does not move.

Divination with a glass of water.

This fortune-telling allows you to get answers to all questions, but only on Holy Week.

The question should be such that it can be answered "yes" or "no".

The fortuneteller takes a glass, pours seven tablespoons of water into it (measure accurately, this is important!), Asks a question (for example, will I get married this year?) And goes to bed. You can't talk to anyone after that!

In the morning, waking up, they check (again carefully!) how much water is in the glass. If the water has decreased, then the answer is negative, and if it has been added, the answer is positive.

Fortune telling with chicken.

If almost all previous fortune-telling is designed for one person, then this fortune-telling will amuse the whole company.

Guessing for the New Year. Any grain is scattered on the floor in the room, and then a chicken is brought into the room. If the chicken immediately begins to peck at the grain, then the year will be satisfying and fruitful.

And if she is calmly engaged in some other business, wait for a hungry year, our ancestors believed.

Fortune telling with a Christmas tree.

At night, clean sheets of paper (of the same size) are laid out around the Christmas tree. Each sheet corresponds to the month of the year (sheets, respectively, you need to put twelve). In the morning they check: on which piece of paper there are more crumbled spruce needles, that month will be richer and happier.

In general, they look to see if the needles have fallen off a lot. If there are many, then the year as a whole will be fruitful, rich.

Divination with rods.

In the evening, everyone goes out of the house and sticks sticks in the snow. In the morning they look: those who have twigs left standing will have a good year; from whom the twig has fallen, those should beware.

Divination with a log.

Girls, without looking, pull logs out of the woodpile. If a girl pulls out a knotted log, it means that she should be married to a rich man, if a smooth one, to a poor one.

There was another interpretation of this divination. If a girl pulls out a smooth log, then her husband will be smooth, affectionate.

If it pulls out a knotty one, it means that the husband’s character will be absurd.

Divination by names.

The girls go out into the street and ask the names of the first passers-by they come across. According to the sign, what is the name of the guy, so will the name of the husband. If a woman comes across first, then the future mother-in-law will have such a name.

Fortune-telling on the shoe.

“Once on Epiphany evening, the girls wondered: they took off their shoe from their feet and threw it out of the gate ...” We all know these lines from childhood. Indeed, there was such a fortune-telling. The girl went out into the street, took off her shoe and threw it away. Where he will point with his toe - in that direction the girl will live after marriage.

Divination with an onion.

Take an onion and cut it into 12 equal parts (according to the number of months in a year). Then each part is sprinkled with salt and left overnight. In the morning they look: on which part of the salt is wet - that month will be rainy. If the salt remained dry, then the month will be without rain.

Wax divination.

Fragments of a candle are put into a large spoon and this spoon is held over the fire until all the wax has melted. Then the melted wax is quickly poured into the prepared bowl with cold water. According to the figure formed, they judge the future.

Shadow divination.

They take a large sheet of paper, crumple it properly, put it on a plate and set it on fire. A plate with ashes is held so that a shadow from the resulting lump falls on the wall. According to the figure formed, they judge the future.

Fortune-telling jokes

These divinations require advance preparation.

Divination by cards.

This fortune-telling can be done both on New Year's holidays and at any time of the year. Leaflets with predictions are prepared in advance (it is desirable that these are not just cut notebook sheets, but, for example, cards). The text of predictions can be anything. The prediction itself may already contain a prank, or as a prank, the same phrase is written at the end of each prediction.

For example, a card might contain the following text: “Luck awaits you in the New Year, glory will knock on your door. Open the door to Slava - he is a good man. Another option is to write different predictions on all the cards, and end everything the same. For example, "In the summer a new acquaintance and awesome sex awaits you", "You will receive a lot of orders in production and awesome sex awaits you." The funny thing is that all these predictions are read aloud by the "recipients", and on the third or fourth wish of "fantastic sex" everyone starts to fall into hysterics, of course from laughter.

Divination with balloons.

So, you have already decided on the list of invitees. Buy a few more balloons than the number of expected guests. Write predictions on slips of paper. They can contain any text, such as: “Start coming up with a name” (it is clear that we are talking about the birth of a child) or “Start saving money and then you will have a wonderful vacation at the resort.” You can come up with the text yourself or consult with friends and relatives. It is desirable, however, that as few people as possible know about this draw in advance, otherwise they will not be so interested.

Divination by keychains.

There are a wide variety of key chains on the market today. Get everything you can find, wrap them in gift paper and put them in one capacious bag (you can sew it yourself or use a regular bag).

At the celebration, each of the guests will have to pull out, without looking, one key chain, unfold it, and you will already tell us what awaits the guest in the New Year.

For example, a keychain in the form of a baby doll - expect an addition to the family, an organizer - success in business awaits you, a cigarette - take care of your health, a flashlight - you will be more perspicacious than ever.

Divination in the name of the betrothed.

The secret of this divination is better not to reveal to anyone. In company, you talk about how you can (really can!) predict the name of your betrothed. It can even be read on your hand. Choose your “victim”, take her hand in yours, whisper something (for mystery), then burn a few matches, roll up your sleeve to your elbow, take a handful of burnt matches and rub them into your hand. About a miracle - the name really appears on the hand!

Let's reveal a secret: you first write the name on your hand with soap. When you rub burnt matches, your hand turns black, but the letters written with soap remain white! Of course, in order to tell fortunes to the next person who wishes, you will first need to wash your hands. Then write the following name on dry skin. And so on, until you tell fortunes to everyone, and you will have plenty of them!

Divination with wishes.

For this divination, you will need a long rope, thread with a needle, a dark blindfold, scissors, paper.

The rope is pulled in the room at chest level. Then all the guests present cut out of paper what they would like to wish each other in the New Year (such figures can be prepared in advance by one of those present, for example, the organizer of the holiday). It can be anything: a car, a baby, money, a computer, etc. The main thing is that there should be a lot of wishes and they should not be repeated. Then all these figures cut out of paper are fastened with a needle and thread to a rope stretched in advance, each of the guests is blindfolded in turn, and he must reach the rope and randomly cut off one of his wishes (it is not allowed to choose a figure by touch). What a person has chosen at random for himself will definitely appear in him this year.

Guessing on a sheet of paper.

Everyone who wants to tell fortunes is distributed on a piece of paper and a pen. Letters are written in a column on a piece of paper:

In the second column write:

Opposite each abbreviation in the first column, all participants write one line from the song (any), in the second column opposite each abbreviation they write a proverb.

When everyone has filled out their sheets (it is desirable that there are not too many fortunetellers, otherwise you can get confused), the presenter deciphers the abbreviations:

GDS - a year before the wedding;

MDS - a month before the wedding;

VAT - a week before the wedding;

DDS - the day before the wedding;

DS - wedding day;

DPS - the day after the wedding;

NPS - a week after the wedding;

MPS - a month after the wedding;

GPS - a year after the wedding;

DD - the motto of friendship;

DL - the motto of love;

DP - the motto of the bed;

J is the motto of life.

Most often, quite funny combinations are obtained, for example: the motto of the bed is “Measure seven times, cut once”, the wedding day is “I got drunk drunk”, etc.

Divination with matches.

You can play one of the guests by inviting him to tell fortunes for his betrothed.

The main thing is to choose a non-offensive person so that the joke does not turn into a quarrel.

They ask the fortuneteller to pull out an arbitrary number of matches from the box, break off the sulfur heads and insert the pieces into his mouth, into his ears, or wherever he wants. Then they bring the “victim” to the mirror and ask: “Well, who needs you like that?”.

Divination with a cigarette.

Offer to read someone's hand. By choosing one of the applicants, declare that you know new way divination along the lines of the hand with the help of cigarette ashes. Take right hand the one to whom you are going to guess, gently shake the ashes from the lit cigarette into his palm (it will not hurt, but if you are very afraid, you can pour the already cooled ashes into the palm of your hand). Then ask your “guinea pig” to make as many circles (clockwise) with the thumb of his left hand on his ash-covered palm as he was full years. When the procedure is completed, with a thoughtful look, after examining the palm of the “victim”, declare: “Hmmm ... Well, well, I must tell you ... You are a bad ashtray!”.

Divination in your pocket.

Write or print out all kinds of predictions in advance (the texts of predictions can be taken from the Book of Changes, from any other books, you can even use poetic lines), place them discreetly in the pockets of the guests, and shortly before the chiming clock (or immediately after it), invite everyone to find these predictions and read them out.

The second version of this fortune-telling: when all these pieces of paper are folded, for example, into an old big hat and the guests take turns pulling them out according to the prediction. You can even play old times and, if you have a parrot, teach him to pull out pieces of paper. Then the "learned bird" will get a prediction for each guest.

Masquerade ball

Have you already chosen the right divination? Then you urgently need to organize a festive reception on the occasion of the New Year, where you can show off your knowledge.

You can organize a masquerade ball yourself, but you will have to prepare for it in advance.

First, make a guest list. Send out invitations to everyone you want to see at this New Year's holiday (at least a couple of months in advance), specifying that it will be a masquerade, so costumes and masks are a must.

Don't forget your costume too. Do not postpone its tailoring indefinitely.

Having received answers from those invited (for sure, everyone will not be able to come for a variety of reasons), take care of the menu.

It has already become a tradition to cook salads "Olivier" and "Herring under a fur coat" for the New Year. You can keep up the tradition, or you can set the table somehow in a special way.

By the way, decide where the feast will take place, also in advance. If you and your friends prefer restaurant food, discuss the menu with all the guests and decide how much it will cost you. The money issue should be resolved in any case, no matter where the holiday takes place - in a cafe, restaurant, in the bosom of nature or in your apartment. Please note that the dimensions of the latter may simply not correspond to the selected event.

Now many schools and kindergartens earn their living by renting out premises for such large-scale events. It's cheaper than a cafe.

So, the issue of the venue is resolved. Let's take a look at the menu now. You can cook everything yourself (although then your only desire will be to lie down somewhere in a quiet cozy place and peacefully sleep through the whole new year's eve), you can hire an assistant (most often at your own peril and risk, since you do not know her culinary abilities), or you can evenly distribute all the work among the invitees (make sure that the work is really divided equally, because cooking some incredibly complex dishes are not equivalent to slicing bread for the table).

Take care of decorating the banquet hall. The easiest way to do this is if you celebrate the holiday in your own apartment, where you can do everything gradually, without rushing. If you have chosen a restaurant, you will not have any trouble at all; decorating the hall for the New Year is considered a matter of honor for the administrator.

If your option is a dining room (school or kindergarten), you will have to work hard.

Prepare all sorts of posters in advance, for example: “2004 is the year of the Monkey”, “Long live the New Year!”, “In the year of the Ox, we wish women more bulls, men more horns!”, “So that crazy money attacked us this year and we we couldn’t fight them off!”, “Let the New Year bring good luck!”, “So that in the New Year we have everything and we don’t have anything for it!” and etc.

On the walls, chandeliers, you can hang Christmas balls, garlands, tinsel, rain. The main decoration of the New Year, according to tradition, is the Christmas tree, you can make beautiful wreaths from spruce branches, put pine or spruce branches in vases, both floor and table. On glasses and mirrors, you can draw snowflakes, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, a bag with gifts. Moreover, it is better to draw figures with gouache, and snowflakes can be drawn with toothpowder diluted with water.

Snowflakes can be pre-cut out of paper - white, silver, gold and even colored - and also decorate the walls with them.

You can arrange a buffet table or a real feast. But remember: since you have decided to do without a traditional TV on a holiday, be sure to make sure that you and your guests are not bored. Spend a win-win lottery, all kinds of contests. Prepare some interesting toasts.

And don't forget you're throwing a costume ball! In the old days, all those invited to the masquerade were already wearing masks, and dancing lasted until midnight. Exactly at midnight, all the guests took off their masks.

You can arrange something similar. If you gather a lot of strangers or people who don't know each other well, you can even hold a competition.

New Year games

Recognition competition.

A large box is placed in a conspicuous place in the hall, leaves and pens lie nearby. Guests can approach this box and write all the masks they have learned (for example, Fox - Alenka from the fifth apartment, etc.). Each guest must sign his message. After midnight, when the masks are removed, you can do the debriefing. The guest who guessed the most masks wins a prize.

The role of the lady is to recognize her knight (or knights). In the general noise and din, this is not so easy to do.

As an entertaining reading, you can use the following text:

About the dignity of being a guest, at the festivities of having.

Before the appearance of a multinational guest should be:

- I wash diligently, without missing these places, I shave carefully, so as not to inflict vile damage on the tenderness of ladies' bristles;

- half hungry and a little drunk.

Having come to visit, familiarize yourself with the location of the house in advance, on a light head, especially noting the location of the closets, and put the information aside in that part of the mind that is less prone to blame than others.

Eat dishes in moderation, so that the belly does not cause heavy obstacles to dances. Drink the potion in plenty, rather than holding the legs; If they refuse, drink sitting down.

Do not bring a recumbent, so as not to choke, even if he asks. Glory to those who have choked, for this death has been honorable since ancient times in Russia.

If you don’t know the measures, rely on your spouse - this guard has more than a state vigil.

Drunk people should be carefully folded so as not to damage and interfere with dancing. Fold separately, respecting the floor, otherwise you won’t get embarrassed when you wake up.

Sensing trouble, do not panic, but follow the designated place with a quick step, do not linger along the road and use all your strength to keep the belly that villainously betrayed you in the fortress.

Being without a wife, and even, God forbid, single, look at the charms of ladies not with open greed, but on the sly - they notice this too, do not hesitate. In this manner, you will respect them, and you will not be called impudent. Act with your hands, being very careful and only having received a clear sign that it is allowed, otherwise you will wear your embarrassment on your face for a long time.

There is no joy in Russia without singing, but it begins at the sign of the master. Do not get into a rage and listen to your neighbor - roaring alone, you are likened to Valaam's donkey, but with musicality and sweet voice, on the contrary, you will win many praises from the guests. Remember, a woman's heart is malleable to music.

Two children are chosen as fishermen, and the rest are fish. Children begin to dance around the fishermen and sing a song: Fish live in the water, No beak, but peck. There are wings - they don't fly, No legs, but they walk. They don't make nests, but they bring out the kids. "Fishermen" join hands together and quickly catch all the scattered "fish". Caught "fish" are already becoming "fishermen". Now these "fishermen" join hands and start catching other children. So the "Network" becomes even larger.

18. Simon says game.

The facilitator should say the words: “Simon says” and then say what all the children should do. If the words: "Simon says" do not sound, then the command should not be executed. And the children at the same time answer: “Simon did not speak.” For example, the leader says: "Simon says - run!". Children run. Whoever started to execute any command of the leader, without the words "Simon says", he skips a move or leaves the game.

19. The game "At the bear in the forest."

One child squats down in the designated area and pretends to be a sleeping bear. Children walk around him all the time and pretend to pick mushrooms and berries, singing a song in unison: “A bear has Berries in the forest, I pick mushrooms, But the bear is no longer sleeping, He is looking at us!
