Outdoor games with a horse on a stick. Didactic game “Horses”
All participants in the game are divided into threes, each three has a coachman and two horses. During the game, the driver gives various commands, the horses carry them out, and the coachman controls and carefully watches whether the horses perform all the movements accurately. The horses walk at a walk, gallop in a circle, turn right, left, etc.
In the words of the presenter: “Horses, in different directions!” - the coachman lets go of the reins, and the horses quickly scatter around the area. To the words: “Find your coachman!” - they find their coachman as quickly as possible. When the game is repeated in each trio, the coachman changes.
Rules
1. Horses must follow all commands accurately.
2. The coachman whose horses make a mistake receives a fine - a blue ribbon is tied to his reins.
Instructions for carrying out
The most difficult part in this game is the role of the driver, who comes up with various movements for the horses. Therefore, when the game is played for the first time, an adult plays the role of driver. At the end of the game, so that the triplets get together, you can give a new task: “Coachman, find your horses!”
The game ends as soon as the three players play the role of coachman. At the end of the game, the top three are awarded.

When the children in the group learn to guess objects from a verbal description, they will hide and describe the object themselves. The adult divides them into two groups. Children from different groups take turns describing different objects to the other group, which must guess what object it is.
The game can be diversified by hiding objects in a “wonderful bag” and asking the child, after he guesses correctly, to find this object by touch .

He raises 1 of the flags (or maybe 2 or all 3), children who have an object of this color run around the playground, imitate the car driving, and honk their horn. When the teacher lowers the flag, the cars stop, turn around and head to their garages. Then the teacher raises a flag of a different color and the game resumes.

If he doesn’t guess correctly, the teacher asks him not to open his eyes, but listen again to who says his name.
p/i "Horses"

According to the following instructions from the teacher, the children first move at a walk, raising their legs high at the knees, then start running (in different directions) so as not to interfere with each other. After some time, the “horses” stop, they are unharnessed and released into the meadow, the “grooms” also rest. At the teacher’s signal, the children change roles and again perform walking and running exercises. The game is repeated several times with different game stories(horses go for hay, firewood, etc.).

Children in small groups of 3-4 people form circles.
“The rabbits are sitting in cages,” says the teacher, acting as a guard; children squat down. The teacher approaches the cages one by one and releases the “rabbits” with the words: “Take a walk, eat some grass.” The “rabbits” climb through the hoops and begin to run and jump.
After a while, the teacher says, “Run to the cages!” The “rabbits” run home, each returning to their cage, climbing through the hoop again.

One of the players is designated a fox, the rest of the children are chickens. At the teacher’s signal, the chickens jump from their roost, run around the yard, flapping their wings, and pecking at grains. On the signal: “Fox!” - “chickens” run away. The "fox" is trying to catch the "chickens". She takes the “chicken” who did not have time to escape into her hole. The game resumes. When the “fox” catches 2-3 “chickens”, another “fox” is chosen.
p/i “Ball over the net”

Progress of the game:A rope or net is stretched between trees or gymnastic stands at the level of the child’s chest.
Lines are drawn on both sides of the rope (net) at a distance of 1 m from it. Groups of children (4-6 people on each side) stand on lines opposite each other.
The one who stands on the edge gets the ball. At the teacher’s signal “begin!” he throws the ball over the net to a child standing opposite him. He, having caught the ball, throws it to the person standing next to him, etc. When the ball reaches the last one last player, the teacher notes what mistakes one and the other group of players made. When repeating, another group starts the game.
HORSES
According to the counting, the guys are divided into “horses” and “coachmen”. A line is drawn on the ground, on one side of which the “horses” stand, on the other – the “coachmen”.
The “horses”, holding hands, come up to the line and say: Ta-ra-ra, ta-ra-ra, The horses have left the yard.
After that, they run away, and the “coachmen” catch them and take them to a fenced place - the “yard”. Children playing "horses" must click their tongues all the time until they are caught: "clack-clack-clack" so that the "coachmen" know who to catch. When all the “horses” have been caught, they change roles.
BREAK THE CHAIN!
The guys stand opposite each other in two lines at a distance of ten to fifteen steps. They join hands and form a chain. In turn, a player runs from each rank, trying to break the “enemy’s” chain. The one who succeeds takes two guys from the broken chain to his team, and the loser remains with the “enemy”.
EARTH, WATER, FIRE, AIR
The guys stand in a circle, with the leader in the middle. He throws the ball to one of the players, while pronouncing one of four words: “earth”, “water”, “air” or “fire”. If the driver said “ground,” the one who caught the ball must quickly name a domestic or wild animal; to the word “water” the player responds with the name of a fish; for the word "air" - the name of the bird. When the word “fire” is said, everyone should quickly turn around in a circle several times, waving their arms. The ball is then returned to the leader. Slow, clumsy and inattentive guys quit the game after the first mistake.
ROPE WALKER
On the site, the guys draw a straight line six to ten meters long. You have to move along it like on a tightrope. It is allowed to keep your arms at your sides.
The losers are those guys who go off the line - “fly off the rope.”
