Simple games for the family. Family games evening

Fun contests for the family will entertain and unite relatives. Competitions between families will add excitement and team spirit to the games. Competitions with the participation of children will not let the kids get bored. Merry relay races and games will add special excitement to the family holiday and leave pleasant memories.

The competition is attended by 2 or 3 people. Each participant receives ice cream in a waffle cup. The task of the contestants is to eat dessert as quickly as possible. But there is one condition: ice cream must be eaten from the other side, that is, from the bottom of the glass.

The winner is the participant who eats dessert faster than the others. It is recommended to hand out a lot of napkins before the start of the competition, as the ice cream will start flowing at some point.

The game "Complete Serious"

All family members play. Players must first come up with a keyword (for example, "tomato"). After that, they take turns asking each participant any questions. The task of the players is to answer the question posed with full seriousness on their faces using a keyword. The one who laughed leaves the game. The most serious player wins.

Sample questions

• How is your mother's name?
• Who are you friends with?
• What's your favorite movie?
• What is your favorite subject in school?
• What is your favorite book?
• What's 2 2?
• What is your strongest character trait?

• The game "There was"

  All family members play. A certain set of objects is laid out on the table (the more the better): a comb, scissors, a fork, a book, pins, etc.

  One of the players gets the role of the leader. He stands near the objects. The rest of the participants must, within 10 seconds, remember what is on the table. Then they close their eyes and the host removes one of the items. After that, the players open their eyes. Their task is to name the item that is missing. The person who guesses first changes places with the leader. The game continues until the interest disappears.

  Game "Woof"

  Played by 2 family members (or 2 teams of 2 people). To play you will need big deck kart. They must be mixed well and distributed to each participant (group) in the same quantity.

  Players (teams) begin to simultaneously remove cards from their deck and lay them face up. If the same cards fall out (for example, two jacks or two eights), participants must quickly shout the word "Woof". Whoever managed to do this before takes this deck for himself. The participant (team) who has the whole deck of cards in his hands wins.

  Body Parts game

  Fun game. All family members play. In advance, you need to prepare cards, on each of which you should write a specific part of the body: ear, heel, left finger, knee, etc. Before the start of the game, all pieces of paper are folded into a cap and mixed.

  Then, each participant in turn takes out a card and says out loud what is written on it. All players must touch this part of the body first with their left, then with their right hand. This must be done very quickly.

  The game helps to cheer the participants and cheer everyone up.

• Game "Family Menagerie"

  All family members play. Each participant writes the name of any animal on a paper sticker and sticks it on the neighbor's forehead so that he does not see the inscription. The players' task is to guess their animal. To do this, the participants take turns asking leading questions, which can be answered clearly and specifically "Yes" or "No".

  Sample questions

  • Does this animal live in the forest?
  • Is it honey and berries?
  • This is a bear?
  • The game ends when everyone guesses their animal.

When, at a family celebration, the table no longer arouses keen interest among guests and owners of the house, philosophical topics usually come into play and global political disputes are started, but at the same time someone usually yawns desperately and looks sideways at horizontal planes, or even at all - at Door.

Well, then it’s time to move on to the active program of the celebration and diligently involve everyone present in funny Games... Choose the ones that will be appropriate today, now, in this company.

Better yet, entrust the organization of entertainment to children. They are able not only to help the mother set the table, but also to become real "stars" of the family holiday. The main thing is to help them believe in themselves. Who knows, maybe for someone this will be the beginning of a truly stellar career?

One two

This game is especially good for a man's company - and it is appropriate for adults, serious men, and for cheerful kids. Two teams are playing. The winner is the one that completes the leader's task first. The moderator announces the topic, for example: "By height", the members of each team must line up by height (either with the smallest, or with the largest, by agreement). This is followed by: eye color; the floor we live on; the number of letters in names; age; the size of the feet, etc. How much imagination the presenter has.

The ships

You need to make boats from a nutshell or plain paper and glue triangular sails to them. Let the boats float in a plate. We blow on them in different directions. You can hold a competition for the most beautiful, fastest, and even the most unsinkable ship.

"Formula 1"

This game is especially appropriate in the company of male drivers. But no less recklessly children play it. After all, auto racing is really interesting!

The players sit around a table, a fire, or simply sit in a circle on the floor. The goal is to become the best Formula 1 driver. To do this, all you need is to remember two simple commands:

1) Vroom-m (the sound of a passing car).

2) And-and-and-and (the sound of the brakes, similar to a squeak).

To start the car in a circle, say, clockwise, the player turns to the neighbor on the left and says: "Vroom-m". The one to whom the car "arrived" can:

2) Expand it in the face of the “sent” to say “and-and-and-and”.

Now the "sender" must "go" to the right. Out of the game is the one who:

1) “Passing” the car, he will turn to the neighbor and say not “vroom-m”, but “and-and-and-and”.

2) "Braking" the car, will say instead of "and-and-and-and" in the face of the "sent" "vroom-m".

Enough "riding", you can enter a time limit for the answer. As a result, 2-3 drivers remaining “in the game” are appointed “Schumachers” and sprayed with something “suitable” of drinks, at their discretion (as you know, champagne is used in real races).

Auction for ladies

The presenter sets a certain feminine theme (for example, "flowers", "cosmetic companies", "clothing items", "jewelry"). The participants' task is to name words related to this topic in any order. The participant who calls the last word gets a prize point.

Women's logic

The host names several items. Participants must name an item that is redundant on this list and explain their decision. For each correct answer, the participant receives a prize point. Examples of tasks "What's extra?":

Hair coloring with henna, basma or hair dye. (Coloring with paint, since henna and basma are natural dyes)

Vanilla rusks, bread crumbs, raisin rusks. (Breadcrumbs, as they are not a ready-to-eat product)

Viscose, cotton, polyester. (Polyester, as viscose and cotton are natural materials)

Eau de toilette, lotion, perfume. (Extra lotion, as it is used for hygiene purposes, and eau de toilette and perfume are used as perfumes)

Basting, machine stitching, overlock. (Basting, as it is done by hand, the rest on the sewing machine)

Non-standard situations

The presenter offers each participant a difficult situation from which he must find an original way out. Participants with the most interesting answers receive a prize point. For instance:

You have been preparing for the party for a long time, specially bought an elegant dress to impress everyone. However, when you arrived, the attire of the mistress of the house was like two peas in a pod similar to yours. What to do?

You are waiting for the arrival of your husband's parents. To impress, you've decided to cook something special. However, nothing works for you: - you oversalt the soup, the roast burns, and the pie looks like a sole. You do not have time to fix anything, because the guests are already ringing the doorbell. What to do?

Before an important date, you went to a hairdresser. As a result of a terrible mistake, your hair was dyed green. Goodbye one hour. What to do?

You came to the holiday in a knitted dress. You are talking with a respectable guest and suddenly you notice that someone has caught the button of your jacket on the thread of your dress and the further it goes, the more it opens. And the conversation is not over yet. What to do?

The participant with the most points wins a prize.

Giggle

Any number of participants plays. All participants in the game sit at the table, if it is a free area, form a large circle. In the center is the driver with a handkerchief in his hands. He throws a handkerchief up while he is flying, everyone laughs loudly, as soon as the handkerchief is on the table or on the ground, everyone subside. As a rule, at the moment when the handkerchief touches the ground, “the laugh itself” begins, but from the funniest one the “fant” is taken. A phantom can be a dance performed, a song, a told anecdote, or a playful "task."

Mop

This game requires 1 more men than women. The players line up opposite each other. When the melody sounds, the men "grab" the ladies, and the "extra" ... dances with a mop! It's pretty fun to watch the loser gently hug the mop. eighteen

Shoe for Cinderella

The guests are divided into two teams. In each, a captain is selected, and both must leave the room for a while. Teams sit down opposite each other, take off one shoe or boot and throw it in the center on one pile; you can also put "extra" shoes in a pile - use the stocks stored in the closet. The captain's task is to put on his team faster. The first team to be in the shoes wins.

"Pygmalion"

For this competition it is better to split into teams: "boys" and "girls", regardless of the age of the participants.

From balloons of various sizes and shapes, "boys" need to sculpt a female figure with the help of scotch tape, and "girls" - to mold a sculpture of an "ideal" man.

Some of the balloons may already be inflated. In addition, you need to stock up on a sufficient number of non-inflated balls and threads. It is interesting to use balloons of various sizes and shapes for this game.

Flower

The game is played by couples (man and woman). In addition, a bottle (glass or plastic) and a flower (real or artificial) are needed for each pair.

Women squeeze bottles under their arms, and men take flowers in their teeth. The task of each pair is to put the flower in the bottle as quickly as possible without using hands.

The couple who completed the task faster than others will receive a prize.

Like Aunt Irina

Those who play by the counting room choose "Aunt Irina", who goes to the center of the round dance. A round dance joins hands, walks in a circle and sings:

Like Aunt Irina

There were seven children

They didn't drink, they didn't eat,

Everyone looked at my aunt,

They did this at once.

Aunt Irina makes all sorts of grimaces, gets up in inconceivable positions (squats on one leg, presses her knee to her chin, etc.). All players must accurately repeat her gestures and grimaces. Whoever makes a mistake, inaccurately repeats the pose of the aunt, he will replace it in the center of the circle and will himself show the players what to do.

Lambada

The game is very good in a large children's or youth company, but it is quite applicable in a closer, but no less friendly circle. So, everyone stands in a circle, in the back of the head, one after another. At the command of the leader, everyone takes the person in front of him by the waist, and together they make “hip movements” left-right-back-forward. Better, of course, to play with music! Further, the task becomes more complicated. The presenter asks to take the person in front of him by the waist through one! Then, as you might have guessed, the "movements of the hips" are repeated left-right-back-forward. Then the task becomes more difficult again, now it is proposed to take by the waist the one standing two people in front! Naturally, the movements of the hips ... The game is held as long as "there are enough hands." At the end of the game, as a rule, everyone “falls” on the floor in a fun way!

Beads

The "male" half of the company participates in the game. An honorable task - to make jewelry for your beloved woman!

It is very convenient to string pasta or clothespins (and if there are shells, large wooden or plastic beads) on shoe laces with firm tips. And how fun it is to present the best jewelry to its lucky owner! A small photo session will not hurt - there will be something to remember later!

Hands on the table!

Those who want to participate in the game sit tightly to each other on one side of the table. They receive some small object (coin, button, nut), put their hands under the table and begin to pass this object from hand to hand imperceptibly. The driver sits on the other side of the table. Seizing the moment, he suddenly commands: "Hands on the table!" Everyone should immediately place their hands on the table, palms down. In order not to give away the one who is holding the coin (by holding it between their fingers), the rest of the players also hold their palms in a boat, tightly clenching their fingers. And yet the driver can guess who has the coin and in which hand (by accidentally knocking a coin on the table, by too tense and slow movements, etc.). At the request of the driver, the player must show this hand. If the driver guesses correctly, this player replaces the driver. If you guessed wrong, the game repeats. The main rule: whoever drops or throws out the transmitted object at a dangerous moment becomes the driver.

"Football" by a feather

The two teams sit on opposite sides of the table. The table is divided in half - as a rule, folding tables have a middle line. If it is not there, then the line can be marked with a chalk on a tablecloth or with a thread (to make it stretch, tie its ends under the table).

A "ball" is placed on this middle line - a bird's feather (a light ball of wool, cotton wool, foam rubber is also quite suitable). Players of both teams simultaneously begin to blow on the "ball", trying to blow it off the table to half of the "opponent". The team, which succeeded, “scores a goal” into the “opponent's” goal.

The game starts again from the middle line and is played up to the agreed number of "goals".

Inventory

The presenter scatters on the table 20-25 pieces of different small items: nuts, badges, pencils, coins, pins, etc. Everyone looks at them attentively for one minute, and then the presenter covers all this property with a newspaper. Now all the players take turns calling one of the objects, without repeating the one already named. Those who could not do this in 5 seconds are eliminated from the game. The last one to fail is the winner. It is desirable for the presenter to have an alphabetical list of subjects and mark those that have already been named.

What changed?

For those who want to test their observation and memory, offer to carefully look at the seated, then go out for 1-2 minutes. By inviting the driver to re-enter, those who remain in the room must keep everything as before, except for 5-7 changes, which everyone will agree on. For example, you can rearrange the vase on the table, the two seated can swap places, keeping the same postures, you can slightly change the hairstyle, remove the badge, etc. The driver, returning to the room, tries to find as many changes as possible. Then he goes to drive the one whose change was noticed earlier than others.

Charade game

Charada is a riddle in which the hidden word must be guessed in parts, and each part itself is a whole word, for example: trace - experience, steam - mustache. The game of charades can be simplified a little: parts of a word have already been given, and you need to add a whole word out of them. In advance, write on the sheets of paper the words that make up parts of the charades: trail, steam, experience, mustache, pass, port, floor, sack, wasp, tur, hay, gas, shaft, spruce, dock, yar, fret, brand, mouse, weight, yak, period. Place the sheets of paper with these words on the table in no particular order. Let everyone take the two words that make up the charade. Whoever gets more charade words is the winner.

Five points

Children play this game especially well. Fold up identical pieces of paper and pierce them through with a needle in five places. Each participant of the game receives a sheet and marks punctures on it with dots. Then he makes a drawing - any, but so that the line of the drawing goes through five points without interruption. This is a competition not only in the ability to draw, but also in intelligence, richness of imagination.

Repeat and add

They agree to name words on a specific topic - for example, the names of games. The first player calls it: hockey. The second repeats: hockey - and adds: checkers. The third has already said three words: hockey, checkers, charades. Finally, someone will not be able to repeat, without error, the entire series of words (hockey - checkers - charades - crossword - tag - rounders - badminton - third extra - blind man's buff ...). This player is eliminated, and the next one in turn repeats the attempt. The winner is the one who said the longest row of words. It is advisable for the organizer of the game to keep a record of the named words in column order and monitor the observance of the word order when repeating. This game is also good because it will help you collectively remember a lot good games... Some of them can be played right there.

Fish, beast, bird

The players sit on the sides of the room. They choose the driver. He walks past them, repeating three words: "Fish, beast, bird ..." Suddenly stopping in front of someone, he says loudly one of these words, for example, "bird". The player must immediately name a bird, for example, a hawk. You cannot hesitate and name those animals, fish or birds that have already been named before. Anyone who gags or answers incorrectly pays a fant, and then “redeems” it - reads poetry, sings, etc.

Prize with a secret

For this game you will need a large box, postcards according to the number of participants in the game, prizes for each participant. Cut each postcard in half. On the back of one of the halves, write the name of the prize, and on the other half, write the tasks. Tasks can be as follows:

Sing a song

Tell a poem

Ask an interesting question

Tell a funny story

Make a riddle

Express a wish

Sing a duet with someone

Say a phrase, an aphorism for thought

If you have many participants in the game, you can write the same tasks twice or come up with others. Put the halves of the task cards in a box, and put the halves of the cards with the names of the prizes in a prominent place in the room where the game is being played. Invite each person present to take from the box the halves of the assignment card and take turns doing what is written in the card. After completing the task, the player looks for the other half of his postcard in the room, where the name of the prize he deserves is written. When the half is found and the halves of the card match, the presenter must present this player with the prize indicated in the card.

Quack quack!

Everyone sits in a circle on chairs or just on the floor. The man, who is blindfolded, sits down in the middle, he has a pillow in his hands .. After he is blindfolded, everyone changes places and observes silence. The driver tries to feel someone's knees with a pillow, then puts the pillow on those knees and says: "Quack, quack!" The player who has a pillow on his lap must answer him as well (it is allowed to change his voice). The driver must identify the player by the voice and give his name. He is given 3 attempts. If the driver guesses correctly, they switch places.

History from the header

Everyone writes on separate pieces of paper, each - one word of their choice. The leaves are collected and mixed in a hat. Then everyone takes one piece of paper from the hat and reads it to themselves. The essence of the game: tell a coherent story using the words from the header. The first player starts with the word: "Once ..." and comes up with a sentence with the word he pulled out. The second continues and so on. The stories turn out to be very funny and are remembered more than once later!

Musical instruments

Divide everyone into several teams of 2-3 people. Each team receives a sheet with the name of a musical instrument and must depict the game on it, supplementing it with sounds and movements. The group is given a minute to prepare. Then, one by one, the groups are introduced and the others guess the instruments.

Give each of the two interlocutors 10 nuts, a topic for conversation and say that you need to communicate in pairs, talking and asking questions about the topic, but without naming the word "I". When one of the couple utters the word "I", his interlocutor picks up one nut. The one with the most nuts in 5 minutes is the winner.

Masterpiece

You will need pencils, crayons, sticky tape, and a large sheet of paper. Give each team a set of pencils. At different ends of the room, attach a piece of paper to tables or to the wall so that rivals cannot see. Each player receives only one part of the task (picture descriptions). Everyone chooses a place for themselves on a piece of paper, and everyone starts drawing at the same time.

For instance:

1. A man in blue pants ...

2. ... crying a lot ...

3. ... a striped toy in hand ...

4. ... crying a lot ...

5. ... on the street under a maple tree ...

1. Baby in a stroller ...

2. ... holding a bottle of juice ...

3. ... drinks Coca-Cola ...

4. ... reading a book ...

5. ... on a stormy sea ...

Dogs and roosters

Players sit in a circle. The driver gives everyone the name of the city. Then he says: "I heard that in the city ... dogs crow and roosters bark." The player, whose city was named, answers: “No, sir, in the city ... dogs do not crow and roosters do not bark. The city in which dogs crow and roosters bark is called ... ". The player whose city was named responds in the same way. If someone does not answer right away or is confused, he gives a bail. When a lot of pledges are collected, they are redeemed by completing the tasks of the leader.

Mines

Blindfolded, you need to reach the designated place without touching the placed objects (shoes, watches, dishes, etc.). If you want to cheer the participants, for the second or third time, when everyone has already seen what kind of objects are on the floor, ask someone to take off the watch and put it down. Then blindfold the participants and replace the clock with ... eggshells, placing them so they are more likely to be stepped on. It is difficult to convey the feelings of a person who knows that there is a clock on the playing field and hears a crunch under his own foot ...

Jumpers

Take a large, empty egg carton. On the bottom of each indentation, write a number from 1 to 30. Place the target cardboard on the floor. Divide the players into 2 teams. Draw a line one and a half to two meters from the target and give each team 4-5 balls. The goal is to hit the cells and score as many points as possible, but the ball must hit the floor once before hitting the target.

With a few hours of free time, you can prepare for a family holiday. To

Games are always fun and exciting. Especially when all relatives get together. What to play with your family?

Family is the most precious thing a person has. And the time spent with relatives is truly priceless. After all, these people cannot (or at least should not be) boring. Especially if you do not just sit decorously at the table, devouring numerous dishes during festive dinners, but also add a little excitement and competitive spirit to the communication. This is what family games are for.

Deciphering this phrase is not difficult at all - it is a game that the whole family can play. The very concept of "family game" can include many all kinds of fun from a wide variety of areas: this and board gamesand active games, and games in nature, and various quizzes and competitions. There are no restrictions here - the main thing is that your family likes it and all the players are happy.

When to play family games? Yes, whenever you like:

• on holidays - birthdays, March 8, New Year etc. On such dates, there are usually a lot of people in the house, and it will be very fun to play;
• on weekends, or just after dinner on a weekday - in any family where there are parents and children, such leisure will not leave anyone indifferent. Even if there are only two or three of you so far, the main thing is that you are together, love each other and want to share the positive.

There are many advantages of this pastime:

• active communication with relatives;
• bringing family members closer;
• improving mutual understanding between generations (parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren);
• positive emotions and energy boost for the whole day.
• Family games have no “contraindications”. Although, perhaps, there is only one limitation - you should not organize a game if:
• you have no desire, but it seems like “you need to entertain” - positive “out of the blue” is obtained very, very rarely;
• someone from the family does not feel well and will not be able to physically take part in the fun (this is more about active and outdoor games).

Also, be sure to take into account the age of the children in the family. Usually, children from the age of three will already gladly take part in board games, and little ones and younger ones can be connected to active fun - the main thing is that no one is unnecessarily tired and does not remain offended.

In other cases - you and cards in hand! Consider the interests and characteristics of each family member, select suitable game - and create good emotions! Oh, you don't know what your grandfather or niece likes? So maybe it's time to ask them about it? Plus, if the game itself is fun and addictive, rest assured that everyone will turn on quickly.

So why and when to play, we sorted it out. It remains now to talk about the games themselves, with specific examples. For the convenience of searching, we will divide all family games into several groups:

• board and table games;
• creative games;
• outdoor games, games in nature.

Let's take a closer look at each group.

These games are separated into a separate group on one basis - they can be played while sitting at the table. At the same time, they have differences.

Board games are games based on the manipulation of a small set of objects that can fit in the hands of players or on a table. Usually these sets are bought ready-made, and they can include cards, cubes, dice, cards, various figures, etc. Of course, you can create a board game yourself, showing a little imagination and devoting some time to this process.

Popular board games for families:

1. Checkers, backgammon, chess, dominoes - help develop the speed of thought, attention, memory, skill. Usually in the family circle such games are accepted with "Hurray!";
2. Lotto. Like a classic russian lotto with chips and barrels, as well as various purchased and home-made variations - by topic, direction. There can be anything your heart desires: animals, plants, geography, and foreign languages \u200b\u200b- the choice is yours and your children!
3. Card Games, Uno, Colonizers, Ligretto, etc. These games also develop thinking and attention;
4. Picture story. For it you will need 10-20 cards depicting various things: houses, cars, furniture, nature, etc. If kids are involved in the game, it is best that the images on the cards are easy to recognize. For older children and adults, fantastic characters and bizarre figures are wonderful. Each player must continue the story of the previous player using their card, and so that a coherent story is obtained;
5. Various economic games like Monopoly - you will not only have a good time, but also replenish your knowledge and skills in the field of finance;
6. Memori is a set of paired pictures. Each player is faced with the task of remembering the location of the cards in order to open the right one at the right time. This game can be played from the age of two, and indefinitely. Memory cards can be purchased as a set or made by yourself;
7. Imaginarium is a wonderful game that develops creativity, associative thinking, and just allows you to have fun and usefully spend time. The main task of this game is to see and create associations to abstract pictures. Try it - you won't regret it!
8. What changed? This game develops memory and attention. You can use absolutely any props - toys, stationery, various items. For babies, you can put several toys in a row, and when the child closes his eyes, swap them or remove one of them;

Other types of board games:

Of course, there are an infinite number of them, and there is no point in listing them all. You just have to go to the children's store and choose the game that suits you. Table games - in the context of this article, we have named games that do not require special "equipment", but you can also play right at the table. These include the following:

1. A fairy tale in a circle. This game will be interesting and exciting both at the table and on a long journey. The first player says the phrase, the beginning of the tale. The next one picks up by adding a sentence and developing a plot. Such a game can last from several minutes to several hours, depending on how much imagination and strength the participants have. The second version of such a game is not to say phrases, but to write down on a piece of paper, folding your record so that the next player cannot see. You can identify key points for each participant: for example, one writes "Who", the second - "Where", etc. The result can be a real "masterpiece" in the literal and figurative sense of the word!
2. Fairy tales about everything in the world. You can invite the participants in turn to compose and tell a fairy tale about any object that he saw around him. For example, about a napkin, about a phone, about a stool, etc. It can be a lot of fun and fun!
3. Crocodile. Players are split into two teams. One of them makes a word, and delegates his player so that he, without the help of words, showed a hidden object, event or phenomenon. Members of the other team must guess the hidden word. There may be other options, when a player from the other team should show the word, or everyone can play "for himself." This game wonderfully develops imaginative thinking.
4. Associations. The game develops logic and vocabulary well. The participant names a word, the next one selects an association for him, absolutely any, possibly understandable only to him. Etc. The game promises to be fun and addicting;
5. Wishes. The game is great for family holidays. All family members "mix" around the table - grandmothers with grandchildren, etc. Each participant should wish something to the person sitting to his right. You need to want exactly what, according to the player, the “neighbor” wants most of all. Such fun brings all family members as close as possible, teaches them to better understand each other.

Basically, many of the games listed above are also pretty much creative. But in this section, we will still focus on creativity "in its purest form". These games include:

1. Various games and drawing contests. You can draw and present portraits to each other, you can create joint paintings - the choice is limited only by your imagination. One example of games is the 12 Months Contest. All participants are divided into two teams, each of which receives 12 album sheets, pencils, paints or felt-tip pens. After the agreed time, the teams must show 12 sheets, each of which has a drawing of one of the months of the year. Players have to guess which month is drawn on each image of the opponents;
2. Theatrical contests. For example, you can split into teams and act out some scenes. Or portray some famous heroes in your own way;
3. Dance, vocal competitions. There is already someone for what. But everyone will definitely have fun!
4. Construction games. You can put together a model of an airplane or ship, build a house or a steamer;
5. Collage creation. This does not require special artistic data, and everyone can play - both small and adults. Whatman paper, picture magazines, photographs, colored paper, glue, plasticine, scissors, stickers, sticks, buttons, threads, beads are needed ... This list can go on and on. Then together determine the topic of creative work - and go!

Creative games develop motor skills, imagination, thinking of children, teach them to love work. Plus, it's just fun and great!

Such games can always be organized both at home in a separate room (for example, when it is raining outside and you don't want to go out into the yard at all), and in nature during picnics and outings. Surely, each of us has in memory a whole set of all sorts of such fun. Let us recall just a few of them:

1. Catch-up, or blind man's buff. Yes, the leader is blindfolded, and he must catch up with the other participants, and guess what is caught by touch;
2. Masquerade. A large bag is assembled with various clothes (hats, underwear, tights, skirts, etc.). The host turns on the music and all the players pass the bag in a circle. When the music turns off, the participant who still has a bag in his hands takes any piece of clothing out of it at random and puts it on. Surely, by the end of the game, everyone will look very unusual;
3. With closed eyes. The participant is blindfolded, and he, putting on thick mittens, by touch identifies the object that is given to him. - Funny races. To play you need balls of thread and cars according to the number of players. Threads are tied to machines. Then all "transport" is lined up, and the participants stand at a distance of 7 meters from the cars, holding a ball of thread in their hands. At the signal, each player winds the thread on a ball and drags the machine towards him.

Naturally, these are not all games that you can play with your family. In winter, for example, simple snowballs and snowmen "work wonderfully", in summer - small towns and tags. And you yourself can perfectly continue this list.

The main thing is that the games bring a good mood to all family members, bring you closer, help you get to know each other better. And, of course, warm days and evenings with your family will be remembered for a lifetime by both you and your children. It is so great when a person has a reliable "rear" - a close-knit family that feels good together. After all, man does not live by bread alone ...
