Collective games in nature. Fun outdoor games for a company of adults

This relay race can be carried out in nature when it is already warm. Since the relay is held outdoors, the competitions will be on the theme of nature. Team names, mottos and emblems can be associated with plants, birds and animals.

This is a family run. All participants must be divided into two teams so that parents and children are equally divided in them.

Warm up

Children guess, parents help in case of difficulty.

"Sleeps during the day, flies at night and scares passers-by." (Owl)

"The brothers stood on stilts,
looking for food along the way.
On the run, on the go
they can't get off their stilts." (Herons)

"I grow out of the earth, I clothe the whole world." (Linen)

"White peas on a green leg". (Lily of the valley)

"Cheers in the spring, cools in the summer, nourishes in the fall, warms in the winter." (Forest)

"The beast is afraid of my branches,
birds will not build nests in them.
In the branches is my beauty and power.
Tell me quickly, who am I?" (Deer)

"In the dense forest under the trees,
strewn with leaves,
lies a ball of needles,
prickly and alive. "(Hedgehog)

"An oak tree hid in a golden ball." (Acorn)

"Sisters stand in the meadows - a golden eye, white cilia." (Daisies)

For each riddle that is guessed, the team gets a point.

Getting ready for the trip

The team is given a backpack (it can be replaced with any bag), a set of dishes (cup, mug, spoon, flask) and matches. If there are many people in the team, then you can take two sets of dishes.

The team lines up in a row, in front of the first participant lies a backpack. Dishes are located 15-20 steps from both teams. Each player needs to run to the dishes, take one item, return, put it in a backpack and touch the next player with his hand - "pass" the baton. Then the next participant runs.

Teams are given three points for quickness and neat packing of the backpack.

Orientation

Two circles are drawn on the ground, in which the players of the teams stand in turn (starting with the first pair). In front of them are signs with cardinal points (north, south, east, west).

The host calls the direction of the world, both participants must simultaneously turn to the corresponding sign. As soon as one of the pair makes a mistake, a point is given to the team of the second participant, and the next players are called into the circle.

Swamp bumps

The teams are given two newspapers ("bumps"), the participants again compete in pairs.

At the start, the players stand on one newspaper, holding the second in their hands. The earth plays the role of a "swamp". You need to run over the "bumps" without getting into the "swamp". On command, the players put a newspaper in front of them, move to it, take the one they stood on, put it in front of them, move on, etc. A point is given to the team whose player reached the finish line faster, without stepping on the ground (without falling into the "swamp"). If the player steps past the bump, the opposing team automatically gets a point.

Halt

Riddles (children guess, adults help in case of difficulty).

"What animal sleeps upside down all winter?" (Bat)

"What mother's chicks don't know her?" (Cuckoos)

"Thin or fat, should a bear lie down in a den?" (Bold, as fat warms him during hibernation)

"About what animals can we say that they are climbing out of their skin"? (About snakes)

"Where do crayfish hibernate?" (In minks near the shore)

"Does a tree grow in winter?" (No)

"Where is the sunflower looking?" (In the sun)

"Why can't you touch eggs in a bird's nest?" (Because then the bird will leave the nest)

What trees turn red in autumn? (Rowan, aspen, maple)

"Which birds have a" nursery "? (Penguins have. Chicks cling to each other and keep warm. There are up to a thousand penguins in such a nursery.)

For each guessed riddle - a point for the team.

Cooking competition

Take water from a cup into a spoon, bring it to the next cup without spilling, then return and "pass" the baton to the next participant. The host, before running, must come up with and name one animal or bird with a given letter, for example:

M (bear, robin, mouse, walrus, etc.) - to the first team.

K (mole, cuckoo marten, goat, etc.) - the second team.

Relay race

Jump on one leg to the finish line and return back. The host must come up with and name one plant with a specific letter:

K (maple, nettle, bluebell, feather grass, burnet, clover, etc.)

L (lily of the valley, linden, onion, larch, chanterelle, lily, etc.)

The winning team gets five points, the losing team gets three points.

fun tree

Ropes of the same length are tied to two trees with trunks approximately equal in thickness. Participants are called in pairs, one from each team. On command, both participants begin to run around the trees and wind ropes around them. A point is given to the team whose member is the first to "wind up".

Running in bags

Relay for speed (can be replaced by jumping to the finish line with tied legs).

Participants jump to the finish line, come back, pass the bag to the next player, etc. The winning team gets three points, the losing team gets one point.

knock down the skittles

As pins, you can use plastic bottles, in which a little water is poured for stability.

Before each team - 3-5 bottles. You can shoot down with a stick or bottles, throw - once. Each team gets as many points as they knocked down the bottles.

Final competition

Children guess, parents help in case of difficulty. Guess which tree the leaf was taken from. (Prepare the sheet ahead of time.) Guess the plant from the description:

• "The upper side of the leaves of this plant is cold, like a stepmother in a fairy tale, and the lower side is warm, like a mother." (Coltsfoot)
• "Today the clearing is golden yellow from these flowers, and tomorrow - white and fluffy." (Dandelion)
• "He is crushed, beaten, soaked, cut. What is it?" (Linen)
• "Garlands of white bells hang between broad leaves. And in summer, in their place is a red poisonous berry" (Lily of the valley)

For each correct answer, the team receives one point.

So, we have finished our journey, it remains to take stock and get prizes.

Everyone was brave and persistent, and these are the main qualities for any athlete! What about mother laziness? Ran, blushed, improved! So why don't we go to the gym? Tomorrow after work?

Comment on the article "Relay race in nature"

I pasted numbers on children's plastic vegetables, the guests pulled them out and received souvenirs - children's toys in the Family relay race: how to organize fun outdoor games in nature. Ideas for competitions, examples of slogans and design of emblems.

1. "Happy New Year!"
The guys stand in a circle, blindfolded, in the middle. Everyone holds out their hands to the driver, he shakes his hand (one) and says: "Happy New Year!". The owner of the hand replies: "And you too!". You can change the voice. If the presenter guesses by voice who answered him, then he becomes the leader.
2. Homework required.
A hole the size of a child's face is cut out on a sheet of thick paper (for drawing) of A3 format. A recognizable object is drawn around the hole (snowflake, butterfly, sailor, Dr. Aibolit, fungus, etc.). The driver sits on a chair, looks out through the hole, as if through a window. Everyone sees who he is, except for himself. With the help of questions Is it alive (non-living, animal, can fly, etc.)? must guess who he is.
This is the third year that this contest has been going on with a bang. Drawings are sketchy, but easily recognizable.
3. Gemini
Two children take each other by the belt. They have one hand free. And they have to do something that requires both hands: cap the bottle, cut out a circle from a sheet of paper.

Yesterday my 5th grader had an NG light.
Of the competitions were:
1. Drawing on the board blindfolded the symbol of the year (2 people participate at the same time, the class determines the winner from the pair)
2. Children stand in a circle and pass the tangerine from hand to hand to the music. The music stops. The one who has the tangerine in his hands sings, dances or recites a verse.
3. Pair competition: Participants are given 2 sheets. You need to get from one end of the class to the other without stepping on the floor. One sheet is placed - puts a foot on it, then another sheet, the second leg on it, etc.
4. "Sticky": parts of the body are written on small pieces of paper (thigh, hand, head, waist, elbow, etc. can be repeated)
Children take turns pulling out pieces of paper and should stick to the previous participant in written parts. It turns out a funny caterpillar)

How to celebrate a child's birthday in nature? We offer a fun program from our animators! It can be either just a game program from your favorite fairy-tale characters, or sports competitions using additional props...

Raising a child from 10 to 13 years old: education, school problems, relationships with classmates, parents and I'm trying to find my daughter (grade 4, almost 11 years old) a poem about winter for a reading competition. Part of the teacher dismissed as very childish or short.

Birthday contests. Toys and games. Child from 7 to 10. Tell me some contests to entertain children on my son's birthday. Synula turns 10, there will be no more than 5 boys around the same age, we celebrate the birthday in the country.

Discussion

my favorite is "mummy", all in pairs, each pair - a roll of toilet paper, 2 stages - 1) the mummy itself - wrap the partner with paper - who is faster. when everyone finishes - the next stage is the 2nd "mummy is released" - the swaddled mummy tears the paper, who is faster and immediately the 3rd stage - which pair will pick up more pieces of paper. for this, each pair was given plastic bowls. Stage 3 - exclusively for cleanliness, so that the garbage does not roll around. It always causes wild delight, first throwing paper, and then picking it up recklessly. But this year I had to weigh the collected paper - the children demanded accuracy! :). We also play alias and "crocodile", a simplified version - I gave tasks to one person - what to depict with gestures and facial expressions (helicopter, dog, etc.), and the rest guessed.

Discussion

The playground is a playground for children, not a recreation room for adults. Do not even hope - read, eat A month before my son's birthday, I thought that if we take the preparation for the celebration more seriously, then perhaps something will turn out ...

To be honest, it is quite difficult to hold such a holiday. Firstly, being a picnic, children least of all want to play in an organized way - everyone has their own interesting business. Secondly, the organization of a children's holiday in nature requires certain physical data. 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 contests.

I chose only those games and competitions in nature that are easiest to organize (most of them can be held with the number of participants from 4 people).

So far, only 20 ideas, but I plan to add interesting outdoor contests to this article, so there will be many more over time!

Throwers and throwers 🙂

I like this competition for simplicity and objectivity in identifying the winner. It is easy to establish who hit the target more times.

Options:

1. At a distance of 10 children's steps, hit the tree trunk with a cone. Each has, say, 10 attempts.
2. Knock down any construction of dry twigs with a stick (let's call it "forest bast shoes").
3. Put an empty pot (basin, bucket) at a distance of several steps. We compete in accuracy by throwing small rubber balls, toys or the same bumps there. If there is no empty container, just look for a hole in the ground.
4. Tie a 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, if only it was some kind of harmless "weight". Players pick up a "weight" and move a few steps to the side. You need to shoot down objects that are at some distance from the center. Here is the drawing.
5. Another version 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 have time to run up and pick up the item before the “pendulum” returns.
6. Make a fishing rod. Tie a rope with a weight at the end to a stick 1.5 - 2 meters. With this weight, you need to knock down small objects at a distance slightly greater than the length of the stick, swinging the rope.

Catching games

Bear

Lay out the toys, pots, bags, and items you brought for the picnic in the clearing. Plant a bear in the center of this composition, draw a line on the ground at a distance of 5-7 steps, behind which there will be a “house”. The host shouts: "The bear woke 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 items wins. And the bear becomes the player who was in the paws of the bear.

Catchers "Short legs"

The participants of the game will need to catch up and run away with an empty plastic bottle sandwiched between their knees.

Paints

Players line up. The leader turns away and steps back 5 steps.

- Knock Knock?
- Who's there?
— I don't know myself.
- Why did you come?
- For paint.
— For what?
- For blue!

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 next one is driven by the one who was caught.

duels

Fight with balls

In nature, such a game will turn out fun. Tie small balls to the right ankle of the players (string no more than 30 cm). Only 2 players participate in the duel. Hands are not involved, they need to be clasped behind the back in a lock. The winner is the one who manages to burst the winner's balloon with his foot. To the one who won, a new opponent comes with a ball on his leg. This continues until one player remains with a whole ball on his leg.

Knight Tournament

If there is a relatively even and not thick log, you can fight with long thin balls. The winner must stand on a log.

Comic games

Game "Obstacle Train"

1 stage of the game.

Between the trees at a height of 30-40 cm, pull the rope in zigzags. All participants of the holiday get into the train one after another, holding on to the waist. To the music, the first player starts moving in small steps, choosing a difficult route. You need to step over the rope, go around the 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 handkerchief. At this time, the rope must be removed, brought to the beginning of the route. And now the host tells you how to raise your leg, how many steps to go, where to turn. The player follows the commands, thinking that the rope has remained in place and diligently overcomes non-existent obstacles. Try it, it's fun!

Relays:

Shashlik

Most suitable for an autumn picnic, as fallen leaves are needed. As usual, we divide the children into teams. We collect the leaves in advance. Determine the distance for running (no more than 6-7 meters). At the end of the route, put a skewer for each team (a stick on which you need to string a sheet). The player runs, strings a piece of paper on a stick, returns to the team. The winner is the team that, of course, will have the most luxurious barbecue by the time the cheerful children's song ends.

Jerboa

The distance of 5-7 meters and back must be overcome by firmly holding the ball between the knees. At the same time, cones, nuts or small pebbles can be attributed to the “mink”. The winning team is again revealed by 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 do. It is necessary not only to run and put a piece of coal in the fire, but to move, tossing the object up slightly. It's an ember, it burns your hands! The team that puts down their fire the fastest wins.

Firefighters

Hot weather game. Each team member has empty disposable cups. Teams need to be built in a line, right side to the direction of movement.

The last player in line must have a full glass of water. On command, he pours water to his neighbor into an empty glass as carefully as possible, runs and becomes the first (always next to the previous participant). It is the turn of the one who now has a full glass of water. He also pours it to a neighbor. This is how you get to the target. The team with the most water left at the end of the relay wins.

On the mound

Everyone ran, tired. Sat on a log...

Time for sedentary games and competitions, which, by the way, are also very fun.

Conductor-tamer

The host divides the guests into groups (if there are few children, everyone gets a separate role). Let frogs, cows, dogs, cats, pigs, ducks, bees, sheep and so on appear on your holiday.

They will have to perform a song for the birthday boy to the melody " Happy Birthday to You. First, each sings a line. The conductor points with a baton, and...

Kwa-kva-kva-kva woof-woof

Oink-oink-oink-oink meow-meow

Quack-quack-quack-quack ju-ju-ju

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 came to life

We take the simplest children's fairy tale. All guests get roles. Those who lacked the main characters become trees, the sun, clouds, wind.

For the forest, "Masha and the Bear" is best suited. Just think about who you will give the role of hemp, because a bear will sit on it!

Crocodile on a picnic

One of the participants shows with gestures some object necessary in nature, the rest guess. Matches, firewood, barbecue meat, a thermos, a backpack and a pump look fun in such a pantomime.

Scarecrow garden

Summer is a wonderful time of the year for all children. The school holidays begin, there is no need to do homework, there is a lot of free time. But every child knows that idleness gets boring very quickly, they want entertainment. What could be more interesting than various outdoor competitions for children in the summer?

Such fun games can be played in the yard with other children, with children from the school camp or comrades from the recreation center. Wherever you are during the holidays, everywhere will be more fun with the games presented in this article.

To organize interesting competitions in nature for children in the summer, it is enough to have a minimum of materials that are always at hand. These are hoops, inflatable circles, fins, balls, sticks, plastic bottles and other waste material.

It is very fun not only to play, but also to prepare manuals for games, while showing imagination, you can add something of your own, come up with similar games. All in your hands.

balloon games

1. "Knights". For these outdoor competitions for children in the summer, you need to have several balloons (according to the number of children), a thin rope, plastic plates and paper clips. Inflated balloons are tied to the belt. From a plastic plate they make a shield on the hand with a rope, in the other hand there is a paper clip. It is necessary, without pushing, to get close to the enemy and try to burst his ball. And the "knight" protects him, substituting his hand with a shield. Whoever has a ball on his belt wins.

2. Relay "Hold the ball." To play, you need to have tennis or badminton rackets and balloons. It is necessary to carry the ball to the selected distance on the racket, while trying not to drop it. Whoever drops the ball receives a penalty point. Whose team will quickly transfer all the balls to the opposite side and score fewer penalty points, that team will win.

3. "Battle". This is one of the most fun outdoor competitions for children in the summer. A balloon is tied to a short rope (30 cm long) on ​​one side. The other end is tied around the leg below, at ankle level. Hands should be kept behind the back in the "lock". In a limited area of ​​the playing field, children catch up with the opponent and step on the ball so that it bursts. Whoever is the last to remain with the ball on his leg, he won the battle.

Ball games

1. "Harvest." Small multi-colored balls are scattered on a limited small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe playing field. These are vegetables in the garden. The blindfolded player must collect all the "vegetables" in a basket in a short time. Whoever collects faster, he won. You can place two players at the same time and find out which of them will collect the most.

2. "Basketball on the stomach." Two children are playing. A bucket is tied to their belt. In the hands - the ball. You need to hit the basket with the ball, like in basketball. Whoever hits the most times is the winner.

3. "Hit the target." The ball is placed in a net (string bag) and tied on a meter-long rope to a tree branch or horizontal bar, if outdoor competitions for children take place on a sports ground in summer. Objects are placed in front of the ball to be knocked down. These can be plastic water bottles, toys, etc. The player must swing the ball and push it towards the object with enough force to bring it down. You need a good eye here.

hoop games

1. "Pass the hoop." For such competitions in nature for children in the summer, you will need two hoops. Children are divided into two teams and form two circles, holding hands. A hoop is put on one player. The task is as follows: you need to pass the hoop through all the children without opening your hands, that is, climb through it one by one until the object goes around the circle and returns to the initial level, to the child who first started the movement.

2. "Brook". Here you need some hoops. Children line up in pairs. Each couple has a hoop in their hands. Only the last pair has no item. The last two players alternately crawl into the formed tunnel. They take the hoop from the first couple and run with it to the end of the column. The remaining couple without an object runs back and crawls into the tunnel. So you need to move until all the children pass the lane. Whose team completed the task faster, those are the winners.

Inflatable ring games

1. "Ring toss". Such competitions in nature in the summer are cool for children. You can play on water or on land. The game resembles a ring toss, only the role of the wand on which the rings are thrown is performed by a child who raised his hands up. Whoever is the most accurate and does not drop the circle into the water or onto the ground is the winner.

2. "Obstacle Course". To play, you need large inflatable circles, 6 or 7 pieces. Children stand in pairs and hold the circle with a hole parallel to the ground. The first team in turn begins to pass the strip as follows. In the first circle you need to climb from below, and in the second - from above. And so on until the end. Whichever team finishes first, wins. The guys then change places.

water games

The best outdoor competitions for children in summer are water games. Children are very fond of water fun - both on land and at sea. There are a lot of water games to play with. This includes shooting for accuracy at plastic disposable cups with water tubes, relay races with buckets filled to the brim, knocking down objects with water from a water gun or machine gun.

"Firemen". For such a game, you need one large bowl of water, the same empty one, and many small buckets. Firefighters stand in a chain and pass water to each other, pouring it from bucket to bucket. The latter pours water into an empty bowl. This goes on until time runs out. Whoever got the most water, he won.

Walkers

1. "Ski". Two wide and short skis are made of thick corrugated cardboard, two arches for feet are attached to them. Children insert their legs into arcs (photo below). Then, at speed, you need to go the distance in such “skis”. Whose team reached the finish line first, those players won the competition.

2. "Train". For such a game, you need to take several large garbage bags of 120 liters, sew them together. Players become in the resulting circle and slowly move from start to finish inside such a device. You can help yourself with your hands. Whose “train” gets to the final station first, he won.

3. The favorite walker of all children is the relay race with eggs on a spoon. You can hold spoons in your hand, or you can hold them in your mouth, as in the photo. Whoever brings the egg to the basket faster and does not drop it, he won.

All these games not only entertain and amuse children, but also teach endurance, accuracy, dexterity, develop motor skills, a sense of collectivism, a desire to win, which is very useful in adulthood.

Aunt Bad weather and ghost Shurshik

Needless to say, the beginning of June doesn’t make us happy with warm and sunny days - it’s only 15 degrees outside, rain, wind ... Therefore, I had such an idea for a holiday: Auntie Bad Weather comes to visit children and adults sitting at a table near a smoking barbecue and a ghost named Shurshik.

Bad weather threatens to take away the heat for good, to deprive everyone of the summer (it is so harmful). But those present have a chance: you need to complete all the tasks of the aunt, and then she will return the warmth. I got the role of Bad Weather, and my 6-year-old son was the ghost. For participation in games and winning competitions, he handed out sweets to guests.

The costumes were made from what was found in the country: an old sheet turned into a ghost cape, a knitted shirt-front into an intricate hat, and so on.

summer chant

At the beginning, Bad Weather wanted to see how eagerly those present were looking forward to summer. We need to shout it out loud. And this summer chant helped us (I compiled it myself from the lines of various poems that I found on the Internet):

Host: The sun is shining brightly. The air is warm.

Leading: And wherever you look - Everything around is light!
All: This summer, this summer, this summer has come to us!

Leading: In the meadow there are bright flowers, there are a lot of herbs.
All: This summer, this summer, this summer has come to us!

Leading: Everything is fine, the sky is clear, Everything in the district has blossomed!
All: This summer, this summer, this summer has come to us!

Leading: Everything around turned green, turned red, turned blue!
All: This summer, this summer, this summer has come to us!

Leading: Summer joyfully laughs 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 the participants, after each phrase of the leader, should shout in rhyme in unison:

This summer, this summer, this summer has come to us!

It's noisy and fun. Such a chant allows you to immediately stir up and include in the action all the guests, even the most modest ones 😉 You can hold such a contest right at the table.

Music competition in nature

There is such a game on our favorite autoradio: The caller must guess the song, the text of which is 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 texts of 4 foreign and 6 Russian songs from the Internet, printed them out, and at the same time recorded the compositions themselves on a USB flash drive. I chose these:

1. Pan Americano - Pamericano - Yolanda Be Cool - We No Speak Americano
2. Boney M—Sunny.
3. PSY - Gangnam Style.
4. Scooter - How Much Is The Fish.
5. ESTRADARADA - Vitya Need to Get Out.
6. MATRANG - Medusa.
7. Philip Kirkorov - The mood color is blue.
8. Olga Buzova - Few halves.
9. Aljay & Feduk - Rosé Wine.
10. Mushrooms - Melts Ice.

Of course, only adults can guess these songs. For children, you can additionally pick up a few children's songs. We chose songs to our taste, from the most famous, hit and a bit funny ones. I didn’t invent 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. As you guessed it, she turned on the song (not in its entirety), Shurshik gave candy. Who wanted to dance

Example: "A song about a woman who wanted to get away 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 down her body, and, holding panties (bikini) in her hands, she felt like a goddess ”(Kirkorov - The mood color is blue).

Something like this, I composed it on the go, it turned out cool :))) You can not read the description in its entirety. The best thing to do is to pause to give you time to think. For each guessed song, Shurshik gives a prize. By the way, our little Shurshik was a little tired by this time, so we gave this role to an adult.

Music competition in nature: Option 2

And last year we held a competition with musical "predictions" at the same party "Hello, summer!". But at that time I was the Fairy of Summer. The Fairy put her own wreath on everyone's head and a fragment of a song sounded, supposedly a prediction for the coming summer.

Game in the circle "Jumping - not jumping"

It's time to get out from behind the table and stretch a little. Everyone stands in a circle. The host reads out the names of animals, birds, objects that "jump or don't jump." When the host calls a jumping object / animal, everyone jumps, if not, they don’t jump. The facilitator 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, titmouse, 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 is left 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 grouped into two pairs. Empty basins are placed on the chairs, and in front of them, at a distance of 5 meters, pairs of participants stand. The first participant holds a saucepan of water, the second, at the command of the leader, must draw water with a sponge and transfer (squeeze) it into an empty container as soon as possible.

Initially, each pair should have an equal amount of water (measured in glasses). The winner must not only move all the water as quickly as possible, but also as much of it as possible.

At the end of the relay, we also measured the amount of water transferred with glasses. Interestingly, one team only got 1.5 out of 4 glasses of water. Where did the other 2.5 glasses go?

Relay race for adults "Bring a snack"

2 people participate. You will need: 2 plastic glasses filled with popcorn, chips or salted peanuts, 2 shots of vodka or 2 glasses of beer, 2 chairs.

A “snack” (nuts, chips, etc.) is poured into the 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 the "drink" without helping yourself with your hands. It's not that easy to do, but it's damn fun! The one who has reached the finish line removes a glass with a snack from his shoes (or what was left of it while he was carrying it), drinks and has a snack.

Option for children: Carry the glasses on the toes of the shoes to the chairs, and then pour into a plastic bottle using only one hand.

Summer flashmob in nature

Now the song "Medusa" (MATRANG) is gaining popularity. And I came up with a flash mob with sea movements for this song. Movements on the loss and verse:

1st movement: Marching in place (going to the sea).

2nd movement: We put our hand to the forehead with a “visor”, rising on our toes (the word is looking out for a jellyfish in the sea).

3rd movement: We pinch the 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: "Swimming" breaststroke.

Movements on the chorus (there are such words: “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 body of the body 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.

Aunt Bad Weather shows the movements, the rest repeat with her. All movements are repeated approximately 5-6 times. The first verse and chorus we danced with the movements of Auntie, and then composed on the go. Adults and children have already offered their "marine" (and not only) movements. Before turning on the music, the movements can be spoken and shown, as if including the whole company in the plot. It turns out not just a flash mob, but a real marine musical game "jellyfish" for the company of adults and children.

I spied the movements on the chorus in this video, I give a link, maybe it will help you 😉

In conclusion, Auntie Bad Weather was glad how well adults and children coped with all the tasks, actively participated and had fun. Therefore, she returns warmth to us:

It has been tested in practice - the listed contests are really very fun, suitable for adults and children, they will help you have a great time outdoors in the summer, and even not in the best weather. Nevertheless, in our piggy bank there are some more interesting ideas for contests for a fun company.

Other Awesome Ideas for Summer Outdoor Contests

We have played these games before, they also went with a bang. Instead of Auntie Bad Weather, last time the Fairy of Summer came to us, in a wreath of wild flowers and in a summer dress. The party also took place outdoors, in the summer, at a table with shish kebabs.

• Relay "Planting potatoes"(very actual game for a summer residence). Participants line up in 2 lines (2 teams). The first one runs with a shovel and “digs a bed”, the second one “makes holes” (puts hoops), the third one “plants potatoes” (lowers small balls into hoops), the fourth one again runs with a shovel, the fifth one runs with a watering can (watering). You can come up with your own variations and inventory. The team that "plants potatoes" the fastest wins.
• Musical comic competition "Summer Predictions". The host dresses up as a "summer fairy", which arrives all in a wreath and a summer dress. The fairy of summer begins to "predict" what awaits those present this summer: Puts on a wreath for the participant sitting at the table. And then the song with "prediction" sounds. Cuts of songs must, of course, be prepared in advance. Example: the composition “Sea, sea, bottomless world” sounds - it means the guest will go to the sea; the song "Rain, slanting rain" - it will be rainy 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 in any country house. Two couples (m+w) participate. One is blindfolded, the other is attached with clothespins in the most unexpected places. A blindfolded participant must feel his soulmate and remove all clothespins. The couple that does it faster wins. An old but always fun game!

Unusual game of hide and seek "Herring in a barrel"

More suitable for the company of school-age children. The essence of the game:

• One player hides, and the rest remain to count to one hundred. After that, 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 penultimate participant of the game finds the hiding person and the people around him. Well, the one who never found the “barrel of herring” loses.

Have a fun summer vacation in nature! We will be glad if you share your ideas 😉

All players stand in a circle, one from the other at arm's length. A circle is drawn in front of their toes. The driver and his defender are selected. They both go to the middle of the circle. The task of the players is to hit the driver with the ball, but his defender interferes with this.
On a signal, the players begin to throw the ball to each other. Having seized the moment, someone tries to hit the driver. The driver, escaping the ball, runs, jumps, dodges the ball, and the defender, protecting the driver, tries to catch the ball, throws it away with his hands, feet, and the whole body. If he still fails to defend and the ball hits the driver, then both of them change places with the one who hit the driver and whom he will choose as his defenders. The game starts again.
It is counted if the ball hits any part of the body, except for the head, even if the ball bounced off any object, from the floor (ground), from the defender. But the players must remember: when throwing the ball at the driver, it is forbidden to go beyond the circle line, such a throw does not count.

Game "12 notes"

A variation of the children's game "Hunting for gifts", but requires some preparation and time. Ideal for a picnic in nature in a large company. Those present form several teams. Their task: to find "treasures" as quickly as possible - a case of beer or a delicious cake. The organizers must prepare 12 notes, each one with the location of the next one. But the main difference is that some of the notes are hidden, and some are in special "exchange points". The team will receive a note in such a po…

The game "People's ball"

A Bulgarian game, but it is also played in other countries of the Balkan Peninsula and Central Europe.
Two teams of 10-15 people each play on a volleyball court without a net. Each is located on its own half of the site, and one player is sent to the opponent's half. The ball is put into play by a throw. If a player from one team catches it, he throws it at the half of the other team, trying to hit the opposing player. The player who is hit by the ball is out of the game. If he catches the ball on the fly, then he tries to hit the opponent with a return throw. So the order of throws changes, and the number of dropouts grows. The team that eliminates all opponents wins. The role of the player standing behind is to pick up and pass to his team the ball that has rolled out of the court. This player can mislead the opponent. The ball thrown to him across the court, he can throw back to his partners for a more successful throw. However, he himself cannot beat the enemy.

The detected player also runs to the tree, trying to touch before the driver. If he fails to do so, he is out of the game. If the driver was not dexterous enough, another member of the team takes his place. So the number of players on both teams is gradually decreasing.
