Children's winter games and entertainment

Participants are divided into two teams - 3 (and more) players in each. Then the groups line up at a distance of 15-20 meters from each other and with the help of a toss determine who "shoots" first. The competition can begin! The first participant runs to the opponents, strikes the outstretched hands of one, the other and the third player (in random order) - and rushes back as quickly as possible.

The one who was slapped by the third, should instantly make a snowball and throw it after the fugitive. Throws can be repeated until the "goal" does not reach his team. "Padded" player goes to the enemy's camp, and if the "target" was unscathed, then to the enemies sent a grief-shooter. The winner is the group that will capture more foreign players. All snipers should remember: you can throw snowballs only in the back of the escaping enemy, but not in the head! What games for the child to prefer, learn in the article on "Children's winter games and entertainment."

We throw to the range

This is entertainment for convinced pacifists, and more space will be needed for it than for a "bloodthirsty" shootout. Participants again divided into two teams, and each of them selects the first arrow. Further, at the signal of the adult judge, both players throw snowballs "at a distance", after which the groups move to the place where the shells fall. Now the next couple of participants will throw a snowball - and so on until all the guys "shoot out". The team wins, which, after the shots, was the longest distance from the start line. The judge must make sure that the throwers do not cheat and do not go further than they should.

We attack and defend ourselves

Siege of fortresses is an occupation for advanced snow users, because before it can fight for any "height", it will have to be built. How it's done - we'll go further, and the essence of the game is this: the participants are divided into two groups - "invaders" and "defenders". The first, armed with snowballs, try to knock out those who sheltered it from the building, but the second ones, of course, fight back. The "shot" defender (attacker) is eliminated from the game. If the ranks of the "conquerors" run out, the "jugglers" can dance "defenders", and vice versa. Tell us, parents, you really do not know how to sculpt a snowman? You know, of course, therefore, create health in the company of your heirs. We simply recall that the building material for a snowman (or a peasant - in this matter we are for equality) should be quite "sticky" and, of course, clean. And to install a sculpture is better somewhere in the shade - that the sun does not melt. The design of the finished product entirely depends on your imagination, but in principle, the usual pen-twigs, a bucket on the head and a carrot (or a cone), instead of a nose, will do.

Building a Fortress

To begin with, at least roughly determine how many people will hide behind the walls of the future fortress, - its dimensions depend on this. Now draw a plan of the base of construction in a natural size - a circle, a square, a rectangle, a pentagon, etc. on the snow. For the production of ideal building materials, it is better to use "high technology": fill the bucket with snow, tamp it well - and one by one we make "kulichiki", from which we then build the walls. Do not forget about the window loopholes and the opening for the gate, and in the final it would be nice to water the fortress with water - so it will stay much longer. BTW. At the end of the battle inside the fortress, you can arrange a conciliatory snack with sandwiches and tea from the thermos.

"King of the Hill"

Ancient Russian fun involves the presence of a low snow slide and a team of enthusiasts (5-8 people at the very time). One player climbs up and declares: "I am the king of the mountain!" - and those who disagree with such a statement of the question immediately rush to storm the height in order to push the newly emerged autocrat from the top. The one who succeeds becomes the next king! Adults need to be careful to ensure that the fun bustle on the hill does not turn into a real fight.

Drawing snow angels

The main thing is to find a place in the yard (in the park, in the forest) covered with an even layer of pure snow. Found? Excellent. With a clear conscience (angels do not have another), flop your back on the snow and "write out" the hands of a semi-circle. It remains to gently rise - and you can enjoy the spectacle: the prints of bodies on the snow really remind the angels.

We build a labyrinth

In order for the venture to work out, the thickness of the snow cover should be at least 15 cm - this is enough to dig an intricate "ferment" for toys (in case if you decide to make a maze "for yourself", you can safely burrow into the snow to the ears). Parents draw a plan for the labyrinth, and the child embodies it with the help of a sovochka or a scapula. It is desirable to pour the finished structure with water and wait for five minutes, until it "grabs" - now you can run inside the robot or a doll and with a reliable hand lead them to the exit.

Sledging

For carrying out of relay race it is necessary to find a platform approximately 50 m in length and to divide it into three equal sites. Players are divided into teams of three people (each of the three have their own sleds) and start to start. At the signal of an adult, one participant sits in the sled, and the other two drag him to the first mark; there the passenger changes places with someone from the "horses" - and forward, until the next stop. Now the third participant sits in the sled - and they rush to the finish. The winner, of course, is the one who is faster.

Skiing

To begin with, you need to choose a presenter - he will be a "shark", and the rest players will be "fish". Now you can start the game: the children leave the stick in the center of the field and scatter on the skis in different directions, trying not to step outside the site {they need to be outlined beforehand). At the signal of an adult, the "shark" goes hunting and tries to pile as many "fish" as possible: the captured player becomes a "sharkskin" and also begins to hunt other players. In order to play this game, you need a free platform of at least 50 m2. In order to build a simple feeder for tits and sparrows, you will need two long wires and a one-liter glass jar. With one wire we tie a neck of a vessel, another we fasten approximately in 3 sm from the bottom, and we cut out in a plastic cover an aperture in diameter not less than 5 sm it will be the bird's input. Now pour millet, seeds, bread crumbs inside, go to the street and securely fasten the wires to a thick branch of a tree. You can make the same feeder from a plastic bottle, only in this case the hole will have to be cut off from the side.

We make edible snowballs

You will need: 350 g of powdered sugar, 2 tsp. lemon juice, about half a kilo of finished cake, 250 g of coconut chips and water. Sugar powder mixed with lemon juice and a tablespoon of cold boiled water - you will get a glaze. Cut the cake along, with a spoon, cut 10-12 balls out of it, dip each of them into the sugar icing and roll around on coconut shavings. Snowballs are ready!

Cooking icicles

You will need: 150 ml of natural yogurt and 500 ml of any fruit juice. Mix the yogurt with juice with a mixer, pour the resulting mass over disposable cups and send it to the freezer. As soon as the contents get a little stiffened, stick each stick in a stick and put it in the freezer again - until it freezes. When the ice "freezes", you just need to dip the cups into warm water for a few minutes - it will be much easier to separate them from the icicles. The delicacy is ready!

Glue snowcards

On holidays, you will surely often go to visit, (make visits with empty hands - a bad tone). Therefore, let the child pull out a thick colored paper, glue and markers - and under your vigilant guidance begins to produce postcards. We fold in half, for example, a blue sheet of paper, then we take four small pieces of white cotton wool and glue them at the corners of the "cover", and in the center we write in large, crooked letters: "Happy New Year!" If you wish, you can arrange a real snowfall on the sheet: for this we glue the paper with glue here and there (you want-in random order, you want - come up with a special drawing) and rub it over a piece of foam. It remains only to blow away the extra "snowflakes" - and the winter card is ready!

Experiment with snow and ice

The fact that water can be liquid, solid and even gaseous does not cause adults any doubt, but for a preschooler these are not obvious truths. Suppose you say to the kid: "Do we argue, I will keep the water in my hands - and not a drop?" "Ha! The child answers. - Nothing you have, Mom (Dad), it will not work! "Then you quickly run into the street (you can just open the window and collect snow from the eaves), sculpt a snowball and, with the air of a winner, bring it into the apartment! "It's not true," crumbs the little one, "it's snow, not water!" "Let's see!" - you answer mysteriously and put the trophy in a bowl. Just before the eyes of the child, the ball starts to melt, and after a while it turns into a puddle. My mother won!

Colored ice cubes

Prepare three glasses (jars) of water. Tint in one container, say, with red paint, in the other - blue, in the third - green. Now we send the red glass to the freezer, the blue one to the balcony, and we leave the green on the table - and watch where the water freezes faster (and freezes at all). The conclusion made by the child during the experiment should be as follows: the water turns into ice the sooner the lower the temperature.

Melting at speed

To carry out this experiment, you need a snowball and two bowls - with cold and hot water. We lower the snow into the water, wait where it melts faster, and draw the appropriate conclusions. Now you know what children's winter games and entertainment to choose for your baby in snowy weather.
