Elena Anatolyevna Anokhina
The Russian people reflected many processes of their life activity through the game. Folk games are relevant and interesting at the present time, they can be used in work with schoolchildren and preschoolers, a health camp and in your free time with your family.
The game "Zhmurki with a bell"
Game progress. By lot (counting) they choose the "blind man's blind man" and the player who
he will search. "Zhmurka" is blindfolded, and another child is given a bell. The participants of the game stand in a circle. "Zhmurka" must catch the driver with a bell. Then a new pair of players is chosen.
"Zhmurok" can be several. The children standing in a circle warn the "blind man's buff" against meeting each other with the words: "Fire! Fire!"
The game "Zhmurki"
Jump-jump, jump-jump,
Bunny jumped on a stump,
He beats the drum loudly
Invites everyone to play blind man's blind man.
The game "Zhmurki" is being played.
Game progress. The player is blindfolded, taken away from the players to the side and turned around several times. Then they talk to him:
Cat, cat, what are you standing on?
At the pot.
What's in the pot?
Catch the mice, not us!
After these words, the participants in the game scatter, and the blind man's blind man catches them.
Playing with the Sun
In the center of the circle is the “sun” (a hat with the image of the sun is put on the child’s head). The children say in unison:
Burn, sun, brighter -
Summer will be hotter
And the winter is warmer
And spring is sweeter.
Children go in a round dance. On the 3rd line they come closer to the “sun”, narrowing the circle, bow, on the 4th line they move away, expanding the circle. To the word "I'm burning!" - The "sun" catches up with the children.
Game "Drag the rope"
2 hoops are placed on the floor and a rope is pulled from the middle of one to the middle of the other. The participants of the game are divided into 2 teams. The hoops include one person from each team. On a signal, they run and change places. The first to run into the opponent's hoop and pull the rope out of another hoop is considered the winner. After the first pair, the second runs, the third, and so on until the last.
Game "Burners"
The players line up in pairs one after another - in a column. Children hold hands and raise them up, forming a "gate". The last pair passes "under the gate" and stands in front, followed by the next pair. "Speaker" stands in front, 5-6 steps from the first pair, with his back to them. All participants sing or say:
Burn, burn bright
To not go out!
Look at the sky
The birds are flying
The bells are ringing:
Ding dong, ding dong
Get out quick!
At the end of the song, two guys, being in front, scatter in different directions, the rest shout in unison:
One, two, do not crow, but run like fire!
"Burning" is trying to catch up with the fleeing. If the players manage to take each other's hands before one of them is caught by the “burning one”, then they stand in front of the column, and the “burning one” catches again, that is, “burns”. And if the “burning” catches one of the running ones, then he gets up with him, and the player who is left without a pair drives.
Game "Merry Musicians"
Game progress. To any melody of two parts, children, standing in a circle, play musical instruments (rattles, rumbas, bells, etc.). Petrushka stands in the center of the circle, conducting. With the end of the first part, the children, putting the tools on the floor, easily run in a circle. Parsley stands in a general circle and runs with the children. With the end of the music, the players quickly take apart the instruments. The conductor becomes the one who did not get the instrument.
Game "Carousels"
We continue the fun
Weight running on a carousel.
Ribbons are tied to the hoop. Children take the ribbon with one hand and go first in one direction, and then, changing their hand, in the other. The hoop is held by an adult. You can “ride” on the carousel under the traditional text:
Barely, barely, barely, barely
The carousels spin
And then, then, then
Everyone run, run, run.
Hush, hush, don't rush
Stop the carousel.
One-two, one-two
And so the game began.
Game "Ring"
All players line up. The buffoon has a ring in his hands, which he hides in his palms and then tries to quietly pass to one of the guys, while saying:
I'm burying gold
I bury pure silver!
In a high tower
Guess, guess girl.
Guess, guess, red!
The one standing last is looking for the ring, and the buffoon says: "Guess, guess who has the ring, pure silver." If the participant guessed who has the ring, then he becomes the leader.
Game "Baba Yaga"
A rooster sat on a bench, counting his pins:
One, two, three, in this account you go out!
(Baba Yaga stands in a circle drawn on the floor, on the ground. The guys run around the circle and tease Baba Yaga, and Baba Yaga tries to reach the children with a broom, whom he touches stops and freezes in place, the last of the children becomes Baba Yaga).
teaser
baba yaga,
bone leg,
Fell off the stove
Broke my leg
I ran to the garden
Scared all the people
Ran to the bathroom
Scared the bunny!
The game "Dawn-Dawn"
Game progress. Two leaders are selected. Both the drivers and the players stand in a circle, holding a ribbon in their hands (ribbons are fixed on the carousel according to the number of players). Everyone walks around and sings.
Zarya-zaryanitsa, Red maiden,
Walked across the field
Dropped the keys
golden keys,
Painted ribbons.
One, two, three - not a crow, but run like fire!
At the last words of the driver, they run in different directions. Who will take first
vacated ribbon, he is the winner, and the remaining one chooses
next partner.
ROUND GAMES
Game "Karavai"
Probably the most famous dance game in Russia! It is almost a mandatory attribute of any birthday of children from the year until the end of elementary school. Such a Russian analogue of the American "Happy birthday!". The chorus is very simple. Everyone stands in a circle and holds hands. The birthday boy stands in the center of the round dance. The round dance begins to move in a circle, accompanied by the words:
How on ... name day (they call the name of the birthday child)
We baked Karavay.
Here is such a height! (hands raised as high as possible)
Here is such a bottom! (squat down, hands practically put on the floor)
That's the width! (they diverge to the sides, trying to make a round dance of as large a diameter as possible)
Here's a dinner! (the round dance converges, shrinks, comes close to the birthday man)
Loaf, loaf, choose whom you like! (the round dance comes to its "normal" size and stops)
The birthday man says: I love, of course, everyone,
But here ... most of all! (calls the name of the selected child, takes him by the hand and leads to the center of the round dance)
Now the birthday boy becomes a round dance, and the child he has chosen becomes the “birthday boy”.
The game "Boyars, and we came to you"
The players are divided into two teams that line up against each other in a chain. The first team goes ahead with the words:
Boyars, we have come to you! And returns to its original place:
Dear ones, we have come to you!
Another repeats this maneuver with the words:
Boyars, why did you come? Dear, why did you come?
The dialogue starts:
Boyars, we need a bride. Darlings, we need a bride.
Boyars, what do you like? Dear ones, how do you like it?
The first team confers and chooses someone:
Boyars, this sweet one is for us (they point to the chosen one).
Dear us, this is sweet. The selected player turns around and now walks and stands in a chain, looking the other way.
The dialogue continues:
Boyars, she is a fool with us. Dear, she is a fool with us.
Boyars, and we whip it. Dear, and we whip it.
Boyars, she is afraid of whips. Darlings, she is afraid of whips.
Boyars, and we will give a gingerbread. Dear, and we will give a gingerbread.
Boyars, her teeth hurt. Darlings, her teeth hurt.
Boyars, and we will reduce to the doctor. Dear, and we will reduce to the doctor.
Boyars, she will bite the doctor. Dear ones, she will bite the doctor.
The first command completes:
Boyars, don't play the fool, give us the bride forever!
The one who was chosen as the bride must scatter and break the chain of the first team. If he succeeds, then he returns to his team, taking with him any player first.
If the chain is not broken, then the bride remains in the first team. In any case, the losing team starts the second round. The task of the teams is to keep more players.
The game "Kalachi"
Children stand in three circles. They move, jumping in a circle and at the same time pronouncing the words:
Bai - swing - swing - swing!
Look - donuts, kalachi!
From the heat, from the heat, from the oven.
At the end of the words, the players run scattered one by one around the court. To the words "Find your kalach!" return to their circle. When the game is repeated, players can change places in circles.
Thanks for attention!
