Outdoor folk games for environmental education of older preschoolers. Outdoor games for kids
When there are a lot of children in the house, not every parent knows how to cheer them up. To prevent you from finding yourself in such situations, we have selected a lot of fun and exciting games that will suit both for small groups of children and large ones.
Outdoor games fortwo Andthree children
Usually, two kids can entertain themselves (it will not be difficult for them to easily agree, taking into account the interests of each) and they do not need the help of adults. But, nevertheless, there are some cases when the help of moms and dads is simply necessary.
The following active games are perfect for two children:
About How else can you entertain little fidgets with a ball? explained in this video:
Three of us Children can play outdoor games such as:
- « dwarves and giants". The essence of the game is that the presenter takes turns saying the appropriate words and, at this time, the kids need to sit down and become small or remain in a standing position;
- "dog". Suitable for older children preschool age. Two participants stand opposite each other and begin to throw the ball, the task of the third is to catch it. The participant through whose fault the ball was lost takes the place of the driver;
- "edible-inedible". Familiar to many parents exciting game, which is suitable for kids of all ages. It will help replenish your vocabulary, develop erudition, thinking, speed of reactions and much more.
Outdoor games for a large number of children
It is much more difficult to entertain a large group of children. After all, all kids are different: some like to jump more, some like to run, and some even like puzzles exclusively. What to do in such situations? We need a compromise. We have selected a number of children's active games that can satisfy all the wishes of little fidgets.
IMPORTANT! Tasks for 3-year-old fidgets should not be difficult. Otherwise, the children will be bored.
Outdoor games for children of different ages
Finding outdoor games for children of different ages is not easy. Their development in physical, psychological and mental terms is significantly different. The best active games for little fidgets of all ages are:
- « unravel the thread» . Interesting circle fun for children. One person is selected from the group of children - the leader. The moment he closes his eyes, all the other participants join hands and “get entangled” in a large and complex ball. The most important rule is that you must not let go of the hands of other players. Having formed a complex structure, the kids call the leader, who must return them to their original position. If someone lets go of their palm, the game ends;
- « the sea is worried- once, the sea is worried- two...» . 1 participant is selected, who, counting a little count, starts the game and sets a task (for example, a sea or forest figure). All the other children are moving and having fun at this moment, but after the word “freeze”, they should freeze in one position, not move and not react to the leader’s provocations. Those who could not resist (moved or laughed) are eliminated. The most persistent participant wins. This game promotes the development of imagination, movement coordination, self-control;
- « children's bowling" - an exciting outdoor game. The participants' task is to knock down all the pins with a special ball. Both a one-year-old baby and older children can cope with this task. A set for such a game can be bought at any children's store. Its absence can be replaced with a regular medium-sized ball and plastic bottles (half filled with water).

The problem of raising a healthy generation has been and remains relevant in the practice of public and family preschool education and dictates the need to search for effective means of their implementation. The formation of children's health and the full development of their body is one of the main problems in modern society. During preschool childhood, the child lays the foundations of health, comprehensive physical fitness and harmonious physical development.Play in childhood has a high developmental value. L.S. Vygotsky noted that in childhood play and activities, play and work form two main channels along which activity flows. He saw in play an inexhaustible source of personal development, a sphere defining the “zone of proximal development.”
Outdoor games- one of the main means physical education and child development. Children's great need for movement must be satisfied through such games. The game creates a positive emotional background against which all mental processes occur most actively.
In general, it is difficult to overestimate the importance of outdoor games for children, especially at the present time. During active movement, metabolic processes in the body, breathing and blood circulation are activated. In addition, qualities such as attention, spatial perception, coordination of movements, speed of reaction are developed, strength and endurance are trained, impulsivity, emotional and muscle tension are relieved. Also, during such games, children develop and improve communication skills.
The same game can be played several times in a row, depending on the mood of the children and the nature of the motor load. The total duration of outdoor games ranges from 5 to 15 minutes (depending on the baby’s age and physical activity).
So, let's start playing?
This game requires the participation of two adults. "Bear" (one of the adults) sits on a chair in the corner of the room “in a den.” Another adult with the child (or children) walks through the forest, collects “mushrooms” and “berries”, they call to each other: “Ay! Aw!” Then the adult and children, holding hands, begin to approach the “bear” with the words:
Brown bear, Brown bear,
Why are you so gloomy?
And the “bear” answers:
I didn’t treat myself to honey,
That's why I got angry with you. R-R-R!…
On the last word the “bear” growls (gently! so as not to scare the kids) and runs after the players, catching them.
Snake
When cheerful music plays, children run, jump, and have fun. The music stops, and the children squat down and hide (so that the snake “doesn’t notice” them). Snake (toy) crawls past the children, and the children have to hold on and not rush to run away from the snake. In this game, children develop endurance.
"Cat and Mouse"
Children - “mice” - dance in a circle, in the middle “the cat sleeps” (one of the children)
The cat is guarding the mice
Pretended to be asleep
Hush, mice, don't make noise!
You won't wake the cat!!!
With the last words, the “cat” wakes up and catches the “mice.” Children can hide if they sit on chairs (they will climb into the holes).
Pancakes and pancakes
A large hoop is placed in the center of the room (that's "damn"), and there are several small hoops around (“pancakes”). Children run around the room, then the adult says: “Damn,” or “Pancakes.” Children need to stand in the appropriate hoop.
Zoo
The driver says: Imagine that we are walking in a zoo; when I clap my hands once, you (you) will turn into a frog and squat down, if I clap twice, you will turn into an elephant and spread your arms to the sides, and if I clap three times, you will turn into a heron and stand on one feet like real herons.
Traffic light
Each player is assigned a "car". The game requires three circles (red, yellow, green).
The driver says: You are cars (you are a car), you will drive around the room, but paying attention to the color of the circle that I will show you.
Red light - no way, you stop
Yellow get ready, start your engines, get ready to move
And the green one says, you can go, the way is open! continue on your way."
Locomotive
Children stand one after another in a column and place their hands on the shoulders of the child in front. It turns out to be a “locomotive” that slowly moves around the room with the words:
"Locomotive, locomotive,
Brand new, shiny,
He drove the carriages as if he were real!
Who's on the train?
Different kids: beautiful girls and brave boys!”
At the last words, the children run away and can pretend that they are picking mushrooms and berries. At a signal from an adult, they again stand one after another, pretending to be trailers.
Find your match
First you need to prepare postcards cut into two parts. (pictures) by the number of children.
Children get into pairs. Each pair of children is given one of two parts of the card.
At a signal from an adult, the children separate and run around the room at random. At the second signal, each child must find his pair as quickly as possible. The couple that spent the longest time looking for each other loses.
Catch the bubble
Prepare soap bubbles.
Open the caps
Blowing bubbles
Here they are - look!
They are all airborne
And very naughty.
How can we catch them?
Hold it in your palm!
An adult and children blow bubbles, watch them, and catch them. You can use mittens (in order to hold soap bubbles).
Bubble
Everyone joins hands and stands in a small circle. An adult recites a poem and takes small steps back, saying the following words:
Blow up, bubble!
Blow up big!
Stay like this
Don't burst!
The circle expands until the adult says, “The bubble burst!” Then everyone claps their hands, says in unison: “Clap!”, runs into a small circle and joins hands again.
Soap bubbles
Bubbles are funny people
He lives in his own houses.
And now you will be bubbles, and the hoops will be your houses. (At the signal “Let’s fly,” children run out of the hoops and fly; at the signal “Home,” they return to the hoops).
Masha, you are in our forest...
Everyone joins hands and stands in a circle. One child is in the center of this circle, blindfolded. An adult recites a poem:
Masha (child's name) you are in our forest,
We call you: “AU!”
Well, close your eyes,
Don't be timid!
Find out who is calling you, quickly!
An adult shows a child who calls the name of the one who is blindfolded. The child who was called must guess by his voice who did it.
Big feet ..
An adult says words and shows movements (children/child repeats after him):
Big feet walked along the road
Top-top-top takes big steps
Little feet ran along the path
Top-top-top. Takes small steps.
Sunny bunnies
An adult takes a mirror (if the weather is sunny) or a lantern and shows the child how it appears on the wall yellow spot: “This is a sunbeam.” Invite your child to catch the “bunny” with his palms. If the “bunny” ends up on the floor, you can catch it with your feet.
Runners are jumping -
Sunny bunnies.
We call them, they don’t come,
They were here and they are not here...
Sunshine and rain
Show how you can turn an ordinary chair into a house for a child by turning it back to face, squatting and placing your elbows on the seat. Wave your hand through the “window” and explain that this is a house where you can hide from the rain.
Then pay attention to the sky and joyfully say: “Look! The sun is in the sky! We can go for a walk!” The baby runs out of the house with you into the middle of the room and enjoys the sun. Here you can jump and dance together to the rhyming words:
The sun is shining through the window,
Our eyes narrow.
We will clap our hands
And run outside.
Then look at the sky again and say: “Look, a cloud is coming, it’s going to rain, hurry to the house!” Having taken refuge in the house from the rain, you can read the nursery rhyme about the rain again:
Rain, rain, pour, pour, pour,
Drip drops without regret,
Rain, rain, more,
The grass will be thicker!
To create a more vivid imagination of rain, you can tap your hand on the table and even use a spray bottle (I lightly sprayed the children from it).
These are just a few of the games that I often use both in my kindergarten classes and at home with my youngest son. Children really like these games.
Play outdoor games with your children and the results will not be long in coming! Have a nice game!

All teachers and doctors working with children recognized play as the leading activity of a preschool child. When selecting games mixed age group The teacher must take into account some physiological characteristics of the child’s body, i.e. age characteristics of children, it is good to know the health status and level of physical fitness of the children in the group so that the games offered correspond to the capabilities and individual characteristics of each child. When selecting and organizing outdoor games, you must:
- Consider the complexity of the games in accordance with the level of readiness of the children.
- Make sure that games are appropriate for the time of year and weather conditions.
- Provide different methods for selecting children for responsible roles (use counting rhymes, lots, etc.).
- Use different ways children's organizations.
- Take care of the rational use of equipment and inventory, environmental items.
- Strive to create a good, friendly atmosphere that encourages children to freely participate in various games, to the manifestation of activity and creative initiative.
- During games and exercises during walks, conditions should be created so that all children can be independent, active and feel at ease.
- When planning outdoor games, it is important to take care of creating a gaming environment (sufficient space for movement, variety and alternation of aids).
When choosing a game for children, the teacher must not only set tasks of a motor nature - to consolidate the skill of a particular movement, but also be sure to develop feelings of camaraderie and mutual assistance.
In our group, children are not only of different ages, but also with functional visual impairments. Therefore, when conducting outdoor games with such children, it is necessary to comply with the strict prescription of an ophthalmologist and pedagogical control over their condition. Control is carried out by monitoring children directly during play, as well as during the day. All kinds of relay races should be carried out with great caution. The game, at first glance, seems simple, but it disorganizes the children; they do not understand its meaning: the children stand in disarray, rather than aligned in a column. Children do not have the self-control to calmly wait for others to run by, and the younger ones are less efficient, they linger and then they are pushed by those standing behind them; Children, even before the end of the game, begin to argue whose team wins, they get so excited that after the end of the game it takes a long time to calm them down and organize them. However, games with elements of competition can and should be given.
The teacher must also remember about the dosage of the game. This is a very important moment. It is difficult to regulate the load in the game; you cannot ask children if they are tired. Captivated by the game, if it is interesting, children do not notice fatigue, but fatigue may already set in. Therefore, the teacher must carefully monitor the external manifestations of fatigue (rapid breathing, redness of the face), the behavior of children (frequent violation of rules, rudeness, lethargy) and end the game in a timely manner.
It must be taken into account that consecutive games that require long-term concentration, attention, or are aimed at developing only one skill (for example, throwing) tire the child, so games should be combined and combined in such a way that they have a diverse effect on the body.
When organizing play activity The following hygiene recommendations should be followed. In the morning, offer to play individually or in small groups. For example, outdoor games “Tail”, “Blind Man’s Bluff”, “Quickly take it and put it down”, “I named it, you look.” Independent games create a calm, joyful mood. To relieve sleep inhibition, games with the motor component, using balls and jump ropes, ring throws and other aids, are advisable. When conducting outdoor games while walking, you need to consider the following. If before the walk there were training sessions with statistical stress, it is better to start it with an outdoor game. If dynamic activities preceded it, it is more advisable to organize the game in the middle of the walk. It is not recommended to end it with an active game. You also need to take into account the time of year and weather conditions.
When conducting outdoor games, it is noticeable that higher performance and the desire to further master motor skills are manifested in children when using a variety of objects, toys, and aids. Actions with benefits are specific and understandable to children, making it easier for them to master various motor skills. It's already 2-3 year old child It is interesting to step over a block or a stick, to crawl under a tight rope, and he puts his efforts into doing this. The use of manuals adds variety to outdoor games. They allow the teacher to use various exercises more widely, vary tasks, and make changes. So, children crawl under sticks placed on low cubes in a lying position; if the sticks are lying on chairs, they crawl up on all fours, etc. Therefore, in order to increase children’s interest in movement, we first of all expanded the set of equipment and attributes: we purchased new jump ropes, balls, hoops, ring throws; manufactured in required quantity hats, ribbons, plumes, scarves. Particular attention was paid to the placement of equipment. It does not clutter up the usable area of the room, and children can freely take and put any object in its place.
When conducting outdoor games in a group of different ages, you also need to consider the following:
1. The sizes of equipment and aids must correspond to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of children.
2. The same manuals and gymnastic equipment should be used for various physical exercises. They must be combined with each other: For example, a gymnastic wall with a ladder or boards of different lengths and widths. The basketball backboard must have a device with which you can easily change its height. This is very convenient for children of different heights.
3. Equipment and aids used in the premises and area of the kindergarten must comply with the requirements, hygiene and rules for protecting the life and health of children.
4. They must meet aesthetic requirements, attract children with shape, color, and a successful combination of them.
When playing in the hall or on the site, you need to use not only large aids (gymnastic walls, benches, etc.), but also small ones that can be folded and rearranged as needed, while attracting older children. For example, “arcs” - older children use them when playing relay races “Who is faster?”, and younger children roll a ball in them or crawl under them in outdoor games “In the Goal” or “Mice in the Pantry”.
Balls for children are also selected depending on age. For example: a ball with a diameter of 20 - 25 centimeters can be used in all groups, and a ball with a diameter of 10 - 12 centimeters only in the senior or preparatory group. Children have difficulty learning to play ball. To interest them, we divide the children into pairs and give the task: roll the balls so that they meet, or use games here - relay races, when the team that passes the ball correctly and quickly wins, etc.
Children's interest increases when they gain confidence in their abilities. For older children, the games become more difficult. For example, in the game “Bear the Bear in the Forest,” the bear must crawl through a hoop or jump over a log before catching children. In the game “Fox in the Chicken Coop,” the cord is pulled higher on one side and lower on the other. The child has a choice - to climb where it is lower or where it is higher, and the teacher can evaluate the actions and skills of the children.
In older age groups, outdoor games of varying degrees of intensity should be planned during walks. So, over the course of a month, more than 20 outdoor games can be played, while 3–4 new games are learned.
Since our group is not only of different ages, but also corrective in vision, when conducting outdoor games it is necessary to take into account the nature of visual impairments in children.
In games using various attributes, children learn to master these objects and at the same time they exercise their vision in tracking movement. In games of throwing, throwing, rolling, children develop their eye and accuracy of hits, which are impossible without the participation of vision. To make it easier for children to orient themselves in space while running and walking, they need to use colored cubes and flags that limit the space and show the direction of movement. Using attributes for orientation forces children to actively exercise their vision. Thus, the visual and motor abilities of children develop. In games of a sports nature, one also cannot do without the participation of vision, so here too the eye muscles are trained.
So, we realized that paraphernalia is necessary when conducting outdoor games for the full physical development of a child, so we need to update our sports corners in the group, purchase more modern equipment, and the invaluable value of outdoor games for children has long been known.
