Family games with children. Games for a family holiday at home

Dear guys. The game takes a long time to load. Therefore, be patient. Everything will be loaded soon :)

Everyone has heard about the popular simulation game called The Sims. Games about family are now popular among computer enthusiasts. What is the essence of such applications? Simulation games, as you know, help create a person’s life in electronic format, and at the same time you can perform any actions familiar to everyday life. And also there is the ability to try on several roles at once, be it a housewife, a business lady or some kind of animal. All these games are completely safe and suitable for any age, both children and adults. They give children the skills to live a great life, care and responsibility.

Ashtons fits the definition of a simulation game. Here you are given a character whose life you control. To begin with, you create his image, namely, model his hairstyle, clothes and facial features, then proceed directly to completing tasks. But sometimes this task is skipped, and you are immediately given 2 heroes - a guy and a girl. Names can be standard, or you can change them in the settings.

Immediately after you click on the link and find the game, click “play” and go to the characters. A small nuance - the game at this level can take a long time to load, due to the fact that the graphics are full and colorful. So, you are already a family and are moving into a residential area. Gradually, you become acquainted with your neighbors, and you begin to place your belongings around the perimeter of the yard. But the point is family game The fact is that the Ashtons family are young entrepreneurs who decided to organize their own resort during the winter season. Therefore, you will have to actively get down to business and help them check in all arriving guests without exception. In addition to providing housing, the responsibility for a comfortable stay also lies on their shoulders. You will have to clean the perimeter, in the rooms, bring firewood, heat their houses, and also conduct constant entertainment events.

As you progress through the level, the heroes' skills increase, and the amount of money also increases. This will allow the heroes to improve their resort. According to reviews, it is noted that the game has a positive effect on the emotional state of people, will allow you to relax after a hard day at work, and is simply pleasant with its music and graphics. More and more people are not just playing this flash application, but are trying to download it to their computer! You have to try it to understand how interesting and useful it is. Leave your comments, others will find them useful.

Distract your child from computer games and various applications on tablets and smartphones - sometimes a difficult task for many parents. But at the same time, parents cannot always offer an interesting alternative for children in the form of active or board games. Today we will tell you what you can play with the whole family so that no one gets bored.

Playing outdoors not only brings health benefits, but also develops qualities in children such as dexterity, strength, ingenuity and creative thinking. These games can be played on the playground, in nature, on the lawn in country house, and you will need very little additional props.

Ball up!

For this game you will need a ball, with which the driver stands in the center of the circle created by other players. He throws the ball as high as possible with the words “Ball up!” (you can come up with your own signal word), and at this time the players run away from it as far as possible (but you cannot hide behind trees or other objects). When the driver catches the ball and shouts “Stop!”, the players must freeze in place and not move (if someone does not stop at the signal, they must take three large steps towards the driver). Now the driver’s task is to throw the ball and stain one of the players with it, if he manages to do this, then this player becomes the driver next game. If it was not possible to stain anyone, then the driver again stands in a circle.

Canvas Basketball

You will need a piece of tarpaulin, in which you should cut holes of different diameters (just not smaller than the existing ball), cover their edges with colored tape and assign a value in points to each hole. Then the players take turns throwing the ball, the winner is the one who scores the maximum number of points in 10 throws. You can complicate the task and make each throw at a greater distance from the tarpaulin than the previous one.

Street twister

This game can be purchased in a store, or you can draw the outlines of circles on the asphalt yourself using colored chalk (if you don’t mind your lawn, you can draw circles on it with special water-based paints that wash off after rain). You decide the size yourself playing field and the size of the colored circles, and if you want circles of the same size, take a cardboard box, cut a hole in it and use it as a stencil.

Cobweb

Find two trees or pipes standing next to each other in your yard and stretch two ropes between them at the top and bottom to create a “window.” Now let the children (and adults too) jump through the “window” so as not to hit the ropes. This develops dexterity and coordination of movements in children, teaches them to jump in height and determine by eye the distances between objects. Then the task should be complicated: between two ropes, stretch a few more like a web, now let the participants climb through the obstacle without touching the ropes or breaking them.

Push-pull

This is an unusual running competition because you have to run in pairs. The players stand with their backs to each other, holding hands. Now each pair must cover the distance from one landmark and back, without tearing their backs away from each other and without breaking their hands. First, one participant runs forward and pulls the other player with him, then they run back in reverse - the one who pushed becomes the one who pulls, while trying to move synchronously with his Siamese twin. The winner is the pair that covers the distance there and back faster.

Ice riches

In hot weather, this game will delight children. Freeze ice cubes in a mold, first placing a small toy or other “treasure” (this could be, for example, flowers or plant leaves) in each mold. Or you can color the water with food coloring, then you will have multi-colored “precious stones” with riches. Give them to children and let them try to melt the ice with their hands, warm breath or other means. Just be careful so they don't accidentally swallow the surprise!

In order not to cause overwork in the child, you should alternate active games with calm ones from time to time.

Fanta

This is old good game, which both children and adults love to play. Each player collects one item and puts it in a bag. One of the players is blindfolded and must come up with a task for the owner of each item pulled out of the bag by the presenter. You can do it another way: before the start of the game, each participant writes notes with tasks and puts them in a bag, then the bag is passed around in a circle and everyone must pull out their task for this con. You can come up with anything you want: sing a song while sitting under the table, give flowers to the first person to enter the room, or even take the iron out for a walk.

Hat

All participants come up with words, write them on pieces of paper and put them in a hat. Then they are divided into pairs, and here the fun begins: in one minute, first one member of the pair, then the other must explain to each other as many concepts as possible, which are written on pieces of paper pulled from a hat. If you are playing with children, you should, of course, avoid words like “reverb,” “hydroelectric,” and “somnambulist.” The pair with the most words guessed in 2 minutes wins.

Crocodile

Before the start of the game, a presenter and explainer are selected. The presenter says a word to the explainer, and he, with the help of gestures, facial expressions and movements, must explain it to everyone else. The person explaining is prohibited from making any sounds, showing or using surrounding objects, but if the word is difficult to explain in its entirety, then it can be shown that he is explaining it in parts. The player who guesses what is being said becomes the explainer in the next round, and the one who made faces in front of the participants in the last round guesses the word.

Leaning Tower

In stores the game is sold under the name “Jenga”, but you can make it yourself. To do this, you will need about 50 wooden blocks, 25 centimeters long and about two wide and high. Then you should build a tower, alternating longitudinal and transverse laying of bricks. Players then take turns carefully pulling out one block at a time and placing it on top of the tower. This must be done as carefully as possible, otherwise the tower will collapse. The player whose actions caused the collapse is considered the loser.

We invite you to consider several ideas for games and competitions for family holidays and leisure; let’s talk about what games and competitions you can come up with with your family that will be interesting to both children and adults, allowing everyone to play without exception. As you know, cozy family evenings bring all family members very close, so we suggest you organize such events and repeat them as often as possible.

Intellectual and educational games for the whole family, allowing you to get to know each other better and show your abilities

Game "Associations" for adults and children from 3 years old
This is a very simple and at the same time educational game, which requires both a large vocabulary and the ability to develop logic.
Rules. A word is called, then the next participant selects the closest and most logically appropriate, from his point of view, association to it. The association can be absolutely anything, and the initially guessed word can lead to completely unexpected turns in the logical chain.
Example. The first hidden word is “toy”. The next participant associates it with a ball, the ball reminds of football, football of the field, field of flowers, flowers of summer, summer of the sea, sea of swimming. And so on. Words can be absolutely anything, nouns, adjectives or verbs. This will make this game even more exciting and fun for the whole family.
Kind family game “Wishes” for adults and children from 2.5 years old
This game is very suitable for family holidays, and especially for the New Year.
Rules. Family members sit at the table. It is advisable so that everything is “mixed”. For example, grandmothers sat next to their grandchildren, and parents sat next to their children. The essence of the game is that each player must wish something to the family member sitting to his right, what, in his opinion, he wants most. The participant who thinks for a long time is eliminated.
For example, if dad works a lot, then the child wishes him to go to the seaside together, and if the eldest son graduates from school this year, then we can wish him successful admission to the institute he dreamed of entering. The game brings family members closer together and helps them get to know each other better.
Creative and fun game"Fairy Tale" for adults and children over 10 years old
Rules. The only details you need are a sheet of paper and a pen. The first participant writes the title sentence of the fairy tale and folds a piece of paper, passing it to the next one so that he can write a continuation. And so on in a circle. The main thing is that each subsequent participant does not see what the previous one wrote.
Example. The first participant writes on a sheet of paper “Once upon a time there was a grandfather and a woman”, passes it on to the second, where he comes up with his own continuation of the fairy tale “and they flew to distant lands to save Vasilisa the Beautiful”, the next participant, not seeing what the previous ones wrote, continues “which turned out to be later, the little humpbacked horse.” The options can be completely different and the most unpredictable. At the end we unfold a funny fairy tale, read and all laugh together at the gobbledygook of family creativity.
Developing observational game “Searching for the Lost” for adults and children from 3 years old
This competition for the whole family develops attentiveness and visual memory its participants.
Rules. For props you need a colored tablecloth and many small items. These can be tubes of lipstick, small boxes, caps, ballpoint pens, teaspoons, matchboxes - in general, anything you find at home. The more varied the details, the better. All these utensils are laid out on the table, which is previously covered with a tablecloth, and the participants sit around. The essence of the game is to remember all the objects lying on the playing field and immediately notice the object that disappears from the table.
Example. The driver invites the players to look carefully at the table and try to remember many more objects and how they are located. After which everyone must close their eyes, and the driver removes from the table and hides one of the objects. At his command, the participants open their eyes and try to figure out which object has disappeared. The one who guesses becomes the driver.
The “12 Months” drawing competition is suitable for adults and children over 7 years old.
This educational and fun competition is suitable for any family holiday. The competition reveals drawing abilities and will be interesting for both children and adults.
Rules. Participants are divided into two teams. Each team is given 12 A4 sheets, colored pencils or markers. The task is that after the agreed time, the teams must provide all 12 sheets, on each of which they will draw one of the 12 months of the year. The team's task is to guess which month is depicted in each drawing of the opponents.
Example. As a hint, you can mark some events in the pictures that symbolize a particular month. For example, March is associated with March 8, April with Cosmonautics Day, and December with New Year's troubles. And so on. The team that guesses the most pictures wins. Well, the second team can be awarded incentive prizes for intelligible images.

Active and energetic games and competitions for the whole family that you can play at home

Clockwork catch-up game "Zhmurki" is suitable for adults and children from 3 years old
This fun game is familiar to many of us since childhood. And until now, Zhmurki are one of the main children's entertainments at family holidays, in which adults are happy to participate.
Rules. The point is very simple. First, a driver is chosen. They blindfold him. The rest of the players stand around him, facing the center. At the signal, the driver begins to catch the participants, and they run away and dodge him. The driver must guess the caught participant by touch, without untying his eyes. If he guesses correctly, then the person caught becomes the driver. The winner is the one who is caught the least number of times or not caught at all.
Example. It is better for the drivers to initially make one of the adults so that he can show by example how you can play this game at home without destructive consequences. Children run away different sides within the same room, and a blindfolded participant tries to catch them by touch and, without peeking, determine who got caught.
Cheerful music game"Masquerade" is suitable for adults and children over 6 years old
Rules. Props include a large bag and a lot of different clothes. The brighter, funnier and more unusual the clothes are, the better. This could be underwear, national costumes, fur hats, stockings and tights, grandma's leggings, mother's evening dress, and so on). All clothes are put in a bag, a presenter and a DJ is selected. The host turns on the music, to which all the other participants begin to dance and pass each other a bag of clothes. When the music turns off, the participant who still has the bag in his hands must randomly pull out an item of clothing from it and put it on himself. The game continues until the bag is empty.
Example. The music can stop at anyone, just as the thing that the participant takes out of the bag can be the most unusual. For example, a dad might come across his daughter’s swimsuit, and a grandma might come across a flamboyant miniskirt. As a result, everyone will look very funny and colorful.

We hope that the listed entertainments will decorate

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

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

The participant who eats the dessert faster than the rest wins. It's a good idea to give out plenty of napkins before the competition starts, as the ice cream will start to leak at some point.

Game "Full Serious"

All family members play. First, players must come up with keyword(for example, "tomato"). After that, they begin to ask each participant any questions in turn. The players' task is to answer the question posed with complete seriousness on their faces using the keyword. The one who laughs leaves the game. The most serious player wins.

Sample questions

What's your mom's name?
Who are you friends with?
What's your favorite movie?
What subject at school do you like best?
What's your favorite book?
What is 2+2?
What is your strongest character trait?

Game "It Was There"
All family members play. A certain set of objects is laid out on the table (the more, the better): comb, scissors, fork, book, pins, etc.
One of the players takes on the role of leader. He stands near objects. The rest of the participants must remember what is on the table within 10 seconds. Then they close their eyes and the leader removes one of the objects. After this, 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 interest disappears.
Game "Woof"
2 family members play (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 equal quantities.
Players (teams) begin to simultaneously remove cards from their deck and place them face up. If they fall out identical cards(for example, two jacks or two eights), participants must quickly shout the word “Woof”. Whoever managed to do this earlier takes this deck for himself. The participant (team) who has the entire deck of cards in their hands wins.
Game "Body Parts"
Game-entertainment. All family members play. You need to prepare cards in advance, on each of which you should write a certain part of the body: ear, heel, left finger, knee, etc. Before the game starts, all the pieces of paper are put into a hat and mixed.
Then each participant takes turns taking out a card and saying out loud what is written on it. All players must touch this part of the body first with their left hand, then with their right hand. This needs to be done very quickly.
The game helps to cheer up the participants and lift everyone's spirits.
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, participants take turns asking leading questions that can be answered clearly and specifically “Yes” or “No.”
Sample questions
- Does this animal live in the forest?
- Does it eat honey and berries?
- Is this a bear?
- The game ends when everyone has guessed their animal.

Hello, dear readers. Any holiday is a reason to get together! But even the closest people who have something to talk about sometimes get bored at home gatherings. This is where the time comes interesting and fun competitions, which should improve everyone’s mood and make your celebration unusual. In this article I want to offer you my competitions that are suitable for people of all ages. You can also choose gifts for your loved ones, using the tips from my new article Or congratulate your family

Have you already prepared gifts for your loved ones? If not, then the article " What to give a girl"will be useful to you.

For the seed, I prepare some interesting gift, which I wrap in several layers of newsprint (the more, the better) and tie with a ribbon. I say that a package has arrived, but, unfortunately, it was not said who it is for, and I suggest that all guests take turns removing layer by layer of packaging. The one who removes the last layer from the parcel turns out to be the lucky recipient))).

And now the competitions:

Competition 1. Roll up a gift.

Two participants come out and stand side by side, shoulder to shoulder. The hands touching are tied, and with their free hands (one with the left hand and the other with the right hand), the participants must put a gift in the container, close it, carefully wrap it in newspaper, tie it with a ribbon and tie a bow.

2 or 3 pairs are called up and whoever ties the knot faster and more accurately wins. Required: 3 containers, the gift is taken from the table. 3 ribbons and 3 double sheets of newspaper.
