Games with my 6 year old son at home. What to play with your child? Now about serious things, about games

Many parents often wonder: what to do with their child in the evening? What can you play? And it seems that there are not so many games or that they have all already been played. In fact, there is always something to do. The main thing is to use your imagination and have fun.

Children love active games, so I suggest them to top the list:

• Hide and seek . Children love to play this game. But it is better to play it if you have a large house or apartment. Although, if you wish, you can do it in a small one. Children often hide in plain sight; your task is to look for them as long as possible, preferably with comments. Everyone will laugh: both children and parents. It's always very funny what happens.
• Balloon game . Place a chair at the end of the room (if there are many children, then two chairs). The child should hold a medium-sized balloon between his knees, walk to the chair, walk around it and return to the starting position. If there are several children, then you can arrange a competition to see who can complete the task faster. At a children's party, divide the children into teams and let them compete. If adults take part in such a game, children will simply be delighted.
• Save your friends . Your favorite toys are suitable for this game. My boys have a set of Paw Patrol puppies and robocars Paulie, Amber, Roy and Helly. I hide them in different places, and the children’s task is to find and save them. Dolls, robots, cars are also suitable. In general, anything, the main thing is to hide it as much as possible. If there are several children, you can arrange a competition: whoever finds the most wins.
• Piggy toy (turtle, lion cub, dog, etc.). We take any soft toy, turn on funny music and throw the toy to each other. Then we suddenly turn off the music, and whoever has the toy in his hands must reproduce the natural sound of this animal. This game is good to play with a large group of children, especially on birthdays. You can also include adults - it will be doubly interesting for children.
• Home bowling . If you don't have a bowling kit, you can easily make one yourself. To do this, you will need plastic bottles, preferably of the same capacity and a medium-sized ball. I think there will definitely be a ball in a house where there are children. The game is active and interesting, and also helps develop accuracy.
• Fashion show . Not only girls, but also boys love to play this game. Organize a day of “high fashion” without leaving home. You can invite friends or neighbors with children to visit so that there are more people and “models”, it will be much more fun.
• Obstacle course . Create an obstacle course using available materials. For example, you can cut out “swamp hummocks” or “narrow bridge” from paper or cardboard. Stretch the rope, and the children must walk along it without tripping. Pile up pillows for them to climb over. In general, be smart and use items available around the house, but do not forget about safety.
• “The sea is agitated once...” A fun game from my childhood. There should be a lot of children playing this game. The presenter says the following phrase: “The sea is worried once, the sea is worried twice, the sea is worried three times, a sea figure (sports, fairy tale, construction, any, etc.) figure, freeze in place.” Children must freeze in a certain position, depicting some kind of profession. The presenter must guess who is in front of him. If someone depicts an incorrect figure or a non-existent profession, then this child becomes the leader, and the leader takes his place.
• guess who . Everyone sits on chairs or on the sofa, and one child goes to the center of the room and begins to imitate someone with gestures. Children must guess who is in front of them. Whoever guessed correctly goes to the center of the room and asks for the next task. For preschool children, you can write in advance on a sheet of paper who to show, so that it is easier for them, and they can show characters known to their age. Older children can easily cope on their own.
• Pirate treasure . This game will require a little preparation. You need to draw a map on a piece of paper, marking the location of the treasure on it (leave candy or fruit for the children at the treasure location), cut it into several parts and hide it around the apartment. Then, using riddles or competitions (preferably both), children must assemble the entire map from the pieces and find the treasure. My six year old boys are ready to play this every day.
• Hike . You can play camping without leaving your home. Pitch a tent in the center of the room, climb into the tent with your children and tell interesting stories. You can turn off the lights in the room and use a flashlight. Don't forget to bring food with you: fruit, cookies, drink or tea in a thermos. Children will simply be delighted with this trip.
• Edible - not edible . For this game you only need a ball. Take turns throwing the ball to the children and calling out something edible or not. And the child must catch the edibles, and not fight off the edibles or simply not catch them.
• Tasting . Arrange for children to taste drinks or foods. Pour different liquids into four or five glasses: tea, kefir, juice, milk, compote, just water. Blindfold your child and let him guess what he drank. Or cut the fruit into small pieces, stick it on skewers and let the child (blindfolded) try it, and he must name what it is.
• Cooking . You can cook dinner with your children. For example, stick dumplings or dumplings. The main thing is that children take an active part in modeling. My kids (all of them!) love helping me in the kitchen, especially making dough. Together we make not only dumplings and dumplings, but also pies, pizza, even cakes.
• Disco . If you don’t want to invent anything or don’t have enough time to organize something interesting, offer the children a disco. My children love to dance and we often have dances. But not just dancing, but, for example, with balloons or soap bubbles. Believe me, you will have an unforgettable evening by organizing a children's disco, and recharge yourself with positive energy for the next few days.

Educational and intellectual games

Active games are good, but you need to develop not only physically.

And the best way to do this is in the form of a game:

1. We sculpt figures from plasticine or special modeling dough . By the way, you can make it yourself: half a glass of salt, half a glass of water and flour. You need to knead until the resulting mass does not stick. The dough figures can be left until completely dry, and then painted the next evening.
2. We draw with paints, pencils, felt-tip pens . You can invite your child to draw a specific something, for example, a forest or a river. My children make their own cards. From white or colored cardboard, they first fold and cut out the shape of a postcard, and then paint it as you like.
3. Offer children coloring books . Many children love to draw. You can participate in this by discussing with your child what to paint and what color.
4. A game of shadows . Take a flashlight and turn off the light, using your hands to draw different shapes. Ask your child to repeat something you showed. If that doesn’t work, let him try to impersonate someone himself.
5. Puzzles . Great game for the whole family. The larger the puzzle, the more interesting it is. We recently bought a 1500 piece puzzle and spent the whole evening putting it together with the whole family. Then the children had already gone to bed, and my husband and I could not calm down until we had completely assembled it.
6. Children's crosswords.
7. Find differences . A game of attentiveness. Buy a difference book that is appropriate for your child's age and have fun playing with it.
8. Mosaics, constructors, wooden cubes – everything is suitable for realizing your fantasy. You can use a constructor to build a city or a farm, and customize many different buildings. If you don't have enough construction sets, cubes and other construction toys will help.
9. Twenty sticks . Place 20 pencils or markers on the table. Two players take turns taking one, two or three sticks. The one who has to take the last pencil or felt-tip pen loses.
10. This game is suitable for school age children : choose a long phrase, any one. For example, “building structure” or “sports competition”. Children should form short words from these words. The bigger, the better. Then the words are read out one by one. If any words match, they are crossed out and no points are awarded. For each non-repeating word - 2 points. The one who earns the most points wins.
11. Field of Dreams . There are several options for the game: you can play according to the gallows principle, that is, we think of a word and write dashes or squares instead of it, and the children guess. The winner will receive a prize (candy, apple, etc.). You can make an improvised drum, like in “Field of Miracles”. But for this you will need: a spinning top, cardboard, paper, scissors, in general, a lot of things. You can’t play a game like this without prior preparation. Using the same principle, you can play the game “What? Where? When?”, having prepared questions in advance.
12. Shop or library . Lay out books or toys, write “prices” on pieces of paper and let the child sell or buy the goods. If he sells it, then let him tell you what the book is about and count the money. If he buys it, then you tell the child what the book is about. Perhaps after such a game the child will want to read. If you play library, then let the child “advise” what you should take to read in the library and why, why this particular book is interesting. It would be nice if the child also names the author (for older children).
13. Play hospital, kindergarten, school . Let the child be a teacher or a doctor, and you a student or a patient. In this game you will show your child an example of how to be a diligent student and an obedient patient who is not afraid of the doctor. Of course, it’s good if there are several children, but it’s also possible for two. Or involve your dad, grandma, and grandpa in the game.
14. Great if you know the art of origami . If not, then you can simply cut out different figures from paper (let the child cut it out, and you just help), and make appliqués.
15. Board games . We have a great board game that we play as a family. It's called "Erudite". 120 questions on various topics. For each correct answer (answers are attached) the player receives a letter. The first one to collect the word “Erudition” wins.

In addition to all of the above, there are also a huge number of different games: tic-tac-toe, sea battle, cities, children's dominoes and others. Any children's store has a lot of board games for every taste. There are really a lot of them. I offered you the most popular ones in our family. I hope they will help you spend more interesting time with your children. You can invent games yourself, just use your imagination and involve your children in inventing them . They are great inventors!

Every parent wants their child to know and be able to do a lot. What is the easiest way to obtain this knowledge? Of course, in the game. With the help of educational games, the child will develop reaction speed, attention, observation, logic, consolidate knowledge about color and much more.

Touch the red

Name your child a color. For example, blue. The baby should run around the room and touch all objects that are blue. After the options have been exhausted, invite your child to train his memory - name all the objects he found.

Funny men

Place colored pencils or markers in front of your child. Tell them that these are not just pencils - these are funny people who can talk. Red says: I am an apple, yellow - I am a banana, blue - I am the sea. Invite your child to find his own answers.

Miracle box

Place objects of different shapes and volumes in an opaque box. An adult describes one of the objects. And the child must guess what is inside. You can ask leading questions - is the item edible or not, is it soft or hard, etc. We take the hidden item out of the box and show it.

Find the missing part

Print out various pictures on your computer. Cut them so that the picture is missing any detail. For example: a car was missing a wheel, a house was missing a roof, a flower was missing a leaf, etc. Invite your child to find the missing parts.

Playing with a book

While reading a picture book, you can play the following game. Open the book to one of the pages and make a wish. Tell your child: “I see something yellow. It's big. He has no handles." The child will try to find this object with his eyes. Then you can switch roles.

Come up with a rhyme

Explain to your child what a rhyme is, give some examples. Now name the word to the child, and he must find several rhymes for it. For example: bear - cone, book, monkey, naughty girl.

This game is convenient to play while walking, on the way to kindergarten, in public transport, or while waiting in line.

Guess the animal

An adult wishes for any animal. The child should ask leading questions. An adult can only answer “yes” and “no.” For example: is this a pet? Does it like to eat grass? The game ends when the animal is guessed. Then switch roles.

Copycat

Invite your child to sit on a chair. An adult says: “One day I was walking through the forest and saw... a snake.” The child must stand up and imitate the snake - show how it crawls or wriggles. Then the baby sits down on the chair again. The options can be different: I saw a plane flying, I met a hare, I got wet by rain, etc.

Putting together puzzles

Print any picture on your computer. Glue it onto thick paper or cardboard. Cut it into pieces. It is good to use plots from various children's fairy tales. Invite your child to assemble the picture. You can also make a puzzle with your own hands from boxes.

Play the role-playing game “Shop” with your child. Place various items on the counter. Invite Mishka to go to the store and buy a product. However, you do not say its name, but describe it. For example: this is a vegetable, it is oblong, green, and has grains in the middle. The bear can ask leading questions.

Learning to lace

Draw a sneaker on cardboard and color it with pencils or markers. Make holes - three on the right and three on the left. Invite your child to lace up the sneakers. There are many lacing options - hedgehog, wood. Games with laces are very useful for developing fine motor skills of a child’s hand.

This game will help your child remember unknown words and develop the correct pronunciation of words. Invite your child to say the phrase: “I love running through puddles” in various ways:

Fun, joyful.

Singing.

With pursed lips.

Every word is abrupt.

All parents have a lot of everyday worries, but try to find at least half an hour to please your child and relax yourself, to relieve the stress of the working day. In the evening, when the whole family gathers at home, joke games, riddle games, competition games, hide and seek games, which are designed for participants of all ages, will be very useful. These games do not require much physical exertion; they develop memory, attention, intelligence, speed of reaction and at the same time create a good mood.

If family members are people open to jokes and fantasy, then it is not at all difficult for them to make friends with children in the game, to become truly equal partners.

Many games have multiple options. Use them. This will help maintain interest in your favorite games. Maybe you and your children can come up with your own options.

The games offered for evening leisure do not require a large number of participants: you can play with two, three, or four people.

How forfeits are played

Many games involve playing forfeits: the offender buys his things (forfeits) from the driver. These can be children's toys, items of clothing, jewelry: bows, hairpins, etc.

Forfeits can be played like this.

An old version - the driver sits in the center, everyone surrounds him in a circle. He says: “Whose forfeit I’m about to show should be a “mirror” (“funny”, “trader”, etc.).” When all the forfeits have been played, the guilty do as they are ordered. The “mirror” goes around everyone and invites them to look in it, the “funny” one tries to make everyone laugh, the “merchant” offers to buy goods, for which they pay by clapping hands or kissing.

A modern version is to put forfeits in a hat, bag or box and choose a witty inventor who assigns tasks (“punishments”). He is asked to turn away and not peek. One of the players takes out a forfeit and asks: “What should the owner of this forfeit do?”

The tasks should be humorous: crow a rooster, crow, jump on one leg, repeat a tongue twister without hesitation, portray a “statue” (and each of the players has the right to come up and change its position). It can turn out to be a whole concert: one dances, another reads poetry, someone sings a song or ditty, someone shows the pantomime “Mom is washing clothes”, “Dad is preparing dinner”, etc.

How funny the tasks will be depends on the imagination and ingenuity of the adult. It is also necessary to take into account the capabilities of children; children should be offered lighter “punishments”.

If a child assigns tasks and finds it difficult, you can tell him in his ear, but not at the moment when someone’s forfeit is already shown, but before that. When playing forfeits, you must follow the rules: you cannot be offended or refuse to complete the task.

Prank games

To the lady

The essence of the game is not to use the words: “black”, “white”, “yes”, “no”. The players sit opposite each other, and the leader, chosen by lot, begins with a recitative:

- The lady came to us,

Golik brought it,

Golik and broom

One hundred rubles money

She punished

She strictly ordered:

Don't laugh, don't smile,

Don't make a bow on your lips,

Don't wear black and white

Don't say "yes" or "no"!

- Will you go to the ball?

- I’ll go, of course.

-What dress will you wear?

White, black?

- Blue!

- What are you saying, what are you saying: it’s not fashionable now, they’ll laugh at you.

- Let them laugh!

- What's wrong with you? You are sick?

- No, I’m healthy! The slave fell into a trap.

Instructions for carrying out: Two people play this game. When the follower makes a mistake, the players change roles and the game continues.

Do not say “black” and “white”, do not repeat “yes” and “no”

(option)

-What kind of hat do you have?

- How blue? She is white.

- Green.

- How green? Yes, she is completely black.

- Blue.

- Is that so, blue? Is the hat blue? Completely white.

- No, not white, but black.

The one who answered this way should be “punished” twice for the words “no” and “black”. Or they ask like this:

- Do you have horns?

- Is there really?

- So, then, you have a tail?

- I don’t have a tail.

- There is no tail, but there are horns, so who are you?

- Human.

- No, not a person, but an animal without a tail with horns.

- No, man.

And the responder pays forfeit.

Instructions for carrying out: This game is best played with three or four players. It is important to follow the rules: the one who utters the forbidden word gives away a forfeit. After the dialogue between the driver and all participants in the game, forfeits are played out and a new driver is selected.

Sparrow

The players are called bushes or trees, for example an apple tree, an oak tree, etc. The driver begins the game, he says: “Chiv, chiv, a sparrow sat on a raspberry tree, a sparrow flew onto an apple tree.” The apple tree picks up: “Chiv, chiv, a sparrow sat on an apple tree, a sparrow flew to...”, etc.

Instructions for carrying out: The minimum number of players is 4 people. The more participants, the more interesting the game. It is necessary to remember: the conversation must be carried out quickly, for slowness and absent-mindedness a forfeit is taken. Forfeits are played in the usual manner.

In the birds (option)

The players sit in a circle, each called a bird. The driver starts the game, he says: “Sela.” Another asks: “Where?” - “On a branch. Flew." - “Who flew?” - “Canary.” - “Where did you fly?” - “To the lark.”

The player playing the lark begins the dialogue from the beginning: “Sela ...”, and the “canary” asks.

Instructions for carrying out: 3-4 people can take part in the game. There is only one rule: if a player hears his name, he is charged a forfeit. The game continues until you get bored. Games of this type are useful to offer to children with distracted attention.

To the gardener (option)

Each player is called a flower. The driver, chosen by lot, begins the dialogue:

I was born a gardener

Seriously angry

I'm tired of all the flowers

Except... the rose - one, two, three!

After these words, the rose should quickly enter into a dialogue with the gardener: “I!” - "What's the matter?" - “In love.” - "In whom?" - “Into the tulip - one, two, three!”

Game continues.

The plate is spinning.

(option)

The players choose their own color names. One of them starts the game by spinning the plate on its edge. The driver calls any flower, it must quickly respond before the plate falls and “twist” it. He becomes the driver and the game continues.

Instructions for carrying out: options “To the gardener”, “The plate is spinning” require a lot of concentration. They are more interesting if more than 4 people participate. The rule should be followed: enter into dialogue immediately after the words “one, two, three” (“To the gardener”). Those who are lazy pay a forfeit. Adults should show children how to change the pace of speech in a dialogue, thereby distracting the players and provoking them to make mistakes. In a game with a plate, the forfeit is paid by the one who did not have time to spin it (the plate fell).

Silent

Before the start of the game, all participants pronounce the sentence:

Firstborns, firstborns,

The little pigeons were flying,

On fresh dew,

In someone else's lane,

There are cups, nuts,

Honey, sugar -

You can also use other sentences:

Teeth on a hook

And the tongue is on the shelf,

Teeth on a hook

Who will speak

Then click!

Horses, horses, my horses.

We sat on the balcony

They drank tea, broke cups,

In Turkish they said:

Chub-challby, chub-challby!

The cranes have arrived

And they told everyone: “Freeze!”

And who will die first?

He'll get a bump on the forehead.

Don't laugh, don't chat,

And stand like a soldier!

When the last word is said, everyone must be silent. The driver tries to make the players laugh with facial expressions and gestures, funny words, and jokes. If someone laughs or says even one word, the driver pays a forfeit.

Instructions for carrying out: The driver is not allowed to touch the players with his hands. You can play forfeits immediately after someone laughs or speaks. This relieves the tension that arises during the game.

Nonsense

The players choose a driver, he steps aside. Everyone makes a wish for an object, for example a tower crane, an airplane, etc. The driver comes up. He must name an action that could happen to the hidden object. The driver asks questions, the players answer.

-What did you wash your face with today?

- Tower crane.

- What did you fly on?

- On the clouds.

— What did you eat this morning?

- Airplane.

The player whose answer best suits the question becomes the leader.

Instructions for carrying out: The game can be played at home and while walking or traveling. It is important to follow the rules: players can only answer with the hidden word, and the driver cannot repeat the same question. At first, it is the selection of questions that causes difficulty for children, so adults should offer various samples. The game requires resourcefulness and develops a sense of humor in children.

Kitchen.

(option)

The players choose a name for themselves that corresponds to the kitchen utensils, for example, plate, fork, knife, etc. The driver begins to ask questions, and the players must answer only with the hidden name: “What’s on your nose?” - "Plate". - “What’s on your face?” - "Plate". - “What are you sitting on?” - “On a plate”, etc.

Instructions for carrying out: There must be at least 4 participants in the game. The rule is this: if the questioner laughs or says too much, then they take a forfeit from him. The driver's humorous questions make the game more interesting.

“But I am.”

The players stand in a circle and throw a ball or a scarf rolled into a knot. The quitter says a phrase about himself that begins with the words: “I don’t...”. The responder, catching the ball, must answer: “But I...”. For example: “I remember to brush my teeth in the morning.” - “But I don’t wash my hands before eating.” A player who does not have time to respond or does not catch the ball pays a forfeit.

Instructions for carrying out: At least 3 people participate in the game. All phrases are pronounced in a tone of good-natured joke. Parents have the opportunity to laugh with their children at their shortcomings. The friendly laughter of play partners is more powerful than comments or punishments.

First syllable

The players form a circle and throw a ball or a scarf tied in a knot to each other. The thrower says the first syllable of a word, and the catcher must say the second syllable. You can choose words with a large number of syllables.

Instructions for carrying out: This game can be played by two people. It is important to follow the rule: if one of the players repeats a word that has already been named earlier, they pay a forfeit. Before the game starts, they agree on how they will form words (of two or three syllables).

Hide and seek games

Cold - hot

One of the players goes out, the others hide the object somewhere right there in the room.

Then they invite the driver and offer to find the hidden thing. During the search, players warn the driver: “warm”, “hot” if he approaches the object; “cold” if moving away from him.

You can warn not only with words: by playing the piano quietly or loudly, or by ringing a bell. When the item is found, a new driver is selected.

Looking for a needle

(option)

The driver, chosen by lot, looks for the hidden needle. To make the search easier, one of the players rings the bell: louder when the driver approaches the needle, quieter when he moves away from it.

The one who finds the needle gets the right to hide it for the next game, and the one who hid it earlier becomes the driver.

Instructions for playing: this game can be played by two, three, etc. It is usually played at home. Kids will be happy to look for toys. It is better to hide them each time in a new place, which is easy to identify with a word and not difficult to find. The game not only amuses the participants, but children can develop spatial concepts and their verbal designations. If you are on the road, for example on a train, and want to keep your child busy with an interesting game, you can hide an object (candy, handkerchief) in each other’s clothes. When there are two players, they hide and look for the thing in turns.

Choice game

pebble

The players sit in a row, everyone's palms are folded together and rest on their knees. The driver with a pebble in his hands goes around everyone and pretends to put a pebble in the palms of everyone. He actually puts a pebble on one of the players, then steps aside and calls: “Pebble, come to me!” The one with the pebble runs up and shows. Now he will be the driver. But if the players notice who gets the pebble, they can detain the player. In this case, the driver does not change.

Nowadays this game is known as "Ring-little". The driver calls the player like this: “Ring-little one, come out onto the porch!”

Instructions for carrying out: minimum number of participants - 4 people. The driver should try to place the pebble unnoticed so that no one sees who has it. It is important to remember the rule: the player with the pebble should not leave before the words “Pebble, come to me!”

Adults can create funny situations in the game: dad tries to hold mom back while the little son has the pebble. This usually delights children.

Competition games

The king is in captivity

Two players take turns placing their hand on their partner’s hand, counting to nine, then the fastest player grabs the slow one and says: “The king is captured.”

Instructions for carrying out: the number of players is always constant - 2 people. The rules must be followed: you cannot hold your partner’s hand, you cannot place both hands in a row. To make the game more interesting, you can change the tempo of the count, either speeding it up or slowing it down.

In the clutches

The driver extends his hand forward, palm down. Each player places his index finger under his palm. The driver says:

Under my roof

The mice gathered

Hare, squirrel, toad

Under my roof

Once upon a time there were mice.

Siskin, cat, toad

There were hares on the mountain

and shouted: “Hide your fingers!”

At the last word, everyone must quickly remove their fingers. Whose finger is grabbed is out of the game.

Instructions for carrying out: This game can be played by two, three, or four. At first it is better to play together with your child. The driver must be an adult. He shows how you can change the pace of the sentence in order to distract the players and outwit them. When the child gets comfortable in pairs play, you can increase the number of participants. The game develops reaction speed in children.

Take care of your hands

The players sit or stand in a circle with their arms extended in front of them, palms up. The driver stands in the center. At the signal “Take care of your hands!” he tries to touch the palm of one of the players. Everyone should quickly hide their hands. If the driver manages to insult one of the players, he becomes the driver. The game repeats itself.

Instructions for carrying out: The more participants in the game, the more interesting it is. Before the start, players are warned not to hide their hands all the time. The driver must move in different directions, performing deceptive actions. Adults provide an example of how to conduct a game in this way. The game can be complicated by choosing two drivers.

In the ears

Two players stand opposite each other and raise their arms bent at the elbows so that the palms of one are facing the palms of the other. They clap their hands and say:

Mom beat, beat, beat

And I reported everything to dad.

Dad beat, beat, beat

And he reported everything to the woman.

Baba beat, beat, beat

And I reported everything to my grandfather.

Grandfather beat, beat, beat

And he reported everything to the sisters.

The sisters beat, beat, beat

And they reported everything to the brothers.

The brothers beat, beat, beat

And they rolled it into a tub,

And there are two frogs in the tub.

Close your ears quickly!

At the last words, the players must quickly cover their ears with their palms. The one who does it first wins.

Instructions for carrying out: This is a doubles game. Players are required not only to react quickly, but also to pay attention. They clap their hands to the beat of the sentence song, at the end of which the tempo can be changed. “Ears” is also played with two children: one watches and then takes the place of the loser.

Palms

Two players sit opposite each other and raise their arms bent at the elbows so that the palms of one are facing the palms of the other. One of the players, by agreement, holds his hands motionless, while the other claps his hands, then hits the partner’s left palm with his right palm, claps his hands again, then hits the partner’s right hand with his left palm until he misses (or makes a mistake). Then the players change roles.

Changelings

(option)

Players, constantly alternating clapping their hands and striking their palm against their partner’s palm, say:

Oh glasses, glasses, glasses,

Cucumbers!

Spoons, bowls, ladles,

Changelings!

Pickled cucumbers,

Moscow, green.

Spoons, bowls, ladles,

Changelings!

At the last word, the players jump around themselves and, no matter where they stop, repeat the game chorus, also alternating clapping and hitting palms against palms. Rotate until they reach their original position.

Instructions for carrying out: This is a doubles game. You can use various sentences in it; many are composed by the children themselves. At the beginning the game is played at a slow pace. As children's skills improve, the pace increases.

Crosses

Draw a rectangle on a piece of paper or a board and line it into two columns of cells. The two players agree on who will play in which half. Then one of the players holds a pebble in his hand and invites the other to guess in which hand it is hidden. If the partner guessed right, he puts a cross on his side in the top cell. If you don’t guess correctly, the other player puts a cross on his side. The one who fills his half with crosses first wins.

The chimney sweeps

(option)

The rectangle is drawn into two rows of cells (9 in each). If the player does not guess which hand the pebble is in, the letter t is placed in its cell, then p, y, b, etc. (“chimney sweep”). If he guesses correctly, the letter is placed in the partner’s square, and the one who guessed hides the pebble. The game ends when someone has written down the entire word.

Tic-tac-toe (option)

The square is divided into nine cells. One of the players puts X's, the other - O's (by agreement). It is determined by lot who starts the game. The one who places three of his icons in a row along a diagonal or vertical line crosses them out and wins.

Instructions for carrying out: Mostly these games are paired. But the game “Chimney Sweep” can bring together several participants. Then a row of squares is added for each, and the pebble is hidden in turn.

In the Tic Tac Toe game, adults give children a model of how to place the icons to win. The difficulty with the latter option is that by placing the icons in a row, you need to prevent your partner from placing his icons.

Feather

The players, holding hands, stand in a circle or sit around the table. Having thrown a feather (fluff) up, they blow so that it is maintained in the air all the time without falling. If you blow too hard, the feather is removed and becomes difficult to control; if you blow weakly, the feather will fall and the game will stop. The point of the game is to point a feather at one of your comrades: if it falls on the player, he must pay a forfeit.

Instructions for carrying out: You can play with two, three, four. The circle should be small so that children can blow on the feather without straining. You cannot separate your hands during the game.

Malechina-Kalechina

The players choose the driver. Everyone picks up a small stick and says:

Malechina-kalechina,

How many hours

It remains until evening

Until winter?

After the words “before winter,” the players place a stick on the palm of their hand or on any finger of their right (left) hand. The driver counts: “One, two, three... ten!” The one who holds the wand longer wins.

Instructions for carrying out: 2 or 3 players can compete. They should stand further away from each other to make it easier to maintain the balance of the stick. The driver can give different tasks: the players, without releasing the stick, must walk, squat, and turn.

Angles

Four players are placed in the corners, the fifth (driver) is in the middle. The players begin to change places, and the driver tries to take the left corner, and if he succeeds, then the one who missed his corner stands in the middle - now he leads.

Keys (option)

The driver approaches each of the players standing in the corners and asks: “Uncle (auntie), do you have the keys?” He, pointing to his neighbor, replies: “Look there!” Or: “Look in the middle!”

The person looking for the keys moves to the middle, and at this time the players change places.

Mouse (option)

The players - mice - stand in the corners. The driver - a cat - comes up to everyone and says: “Mouse, sell the corner!” They answer him: “I won’t sell it, turn around.” At this time, the players run from one corner to another, and the driver tries to capture someone’s corner. A mouse that loses its hole becomes a cat.

Instructions for carrying out: 5 people take part in the game. If it is held indoors, it is necessary to provide where players could make small runs. Indoors, corners can be marked with chairs or other objects, on the site - with circles drawn on the ground. The corner or hole is occupied by the one who got there first. The last version of “Mouse” is best offered to kids. The images of a cat and mice arouse their interest and make the game more entertaining.

Imitation games

Monkeys

The driver is chosen by lot. He shows off a lot of funny moves. The rest (monkeys) sitting opposite him must reproduce them exactly. If one of the players repeats the movement incorrectly or misses it absent-mindedly, he pays a forfeit.

Stoolka (option)

The players sit at the table with their hands on it. The driver says: “Knock” - everyone starts knocking on the table with their fingers; “Calm down” - stop knocking and put their hands on the table; “Up” - raise fingers above the table; “Down” - hide under the table. The driver makes movements that he names 4-5 times, then begins to confuse them, naming some and showing others. The players must perform the named movements. Whoever makes a mistake pays forfeit.

Mail (option)

The driver is chosen by lot. The game begins with his roll call with the players: “Ding, ding, ding!” - "Who's there?" - "Mail!" - "Where?" - “From the city...” - “What are they doing in the city?”

The driver can say that people are dancing, jumping, laughing, etc. in the city. All players must do what the driver says. Anyone who completes the task incorrectly pays a forfeit.

Instructions for carrying out: These games can be played by 3-5 people (one adult with children or the whole family). Funny tasks and their quick change delight children. These games develop their attention and reaction speed. There is only one rule: exactly repeat the actions of the driver. The game ends when all players pay forfeits. Forfeits can be played during the game (3-4 forfeits) or at the end.

Riddle games for children

In a whisper

The driver is chosen by lot. He is blindfolded and placed at the threshold. One player comes up to him and whispers something in his ear. The driver must guess who it is.

Instructions for carrying out: The minimum number of participants in the game is 3 - 4 people. Players can whisper funny words to distract the driver and make him laugh. If he does not recognize the player, everyone else whispers to him in turn. The one whose whisper was guessed becomes the driver.

Guessing

The driver is asked to close his eyes (go out the door). Having hidden something in the hands of one of the players, the driver is asked to open his eyes (enter) and look for the hidden object. He approaches everyone, trying to find out who has the item by their facial expressions. The player whom the driver guesses takes his place.

Instructions for carrying out: 3 - 4 people can participate in the game. Rules: the driver makes only one choice; if he doesn’t guess correctly, the thing is hidden, and he looks again. The game continues until you get bored.

Silent meeting

The players sit in a circle. There is no driver in this game. Everyone says something in the neighbor’s ear (for example, “Cat” or “Wash clothes”), then the players take turns standing up and mimicking what the neighbor said. The rest must guess. At the same time, they pay a phantom for laughter.

Planned action (option)

One of the players, chosen by lot, leaves the room. The rest think about what he will have to do, for example: “look in the mirror”, “brush your teeth”, “sweep the room”, etc. The driver is called and offered a hint, for example: “This is what you do every morning.” He tries to guess and depict the intended action.

Instructions for carrying out: in this game, children learn to convey their impressions of various life situations with expressive movements. It is necessary to think of actions that they know and can easily portray. The leader depicts the word or action given to him until everyone guesses (“Silent Meeting”) or until he himself guesses (“Planned Action”). The game ends when everyone has played the role of leader and guesser. The “Silent Meeting” ends with the drawing of forfeits.

Find out who

One of the players sneaks up to the driver and closes his eyes. The driver must find out by touch who closed his eyes and call him by name.

Instructions for carrying out: The driver is in this role until he recognizes one of the players, who becomes the driver. Adults can create funny situations: swapping clothes (Dad’s house apron), deliberately not recognizing the players.

Harnesses

The driver, selected using a counting rhyme, turns away from the players and places one hand behind his back, palm up. Each of the players hits it lightly with their fingers on the palm. If the driver guessed who hit, the guessed one replaces him.

Korchaga (variant)

The driver and the driver are selected by lot. The korchaga is covered with a scarf and planted in the middle of the circle formed by the others. The driver, in secret from the pot, gives all the players a name: bird, flower, etc. Then he stands near the pot and calls each of the players in turn, pronouncing his new name. The person called approaches the person sitting, lightly hits him with his hand and, returning to his place, claps his hands. After this, the driver takes off his handkerchief and asks the potter who hit him. If he guesses correctly, the person guessed takes his place; if not, the game continues.

Nose (option)

Participants sit behind each other, the driver sits in front. The second player closes his eyes, someone comes out of the row and, tugging the driver’s nose, sits down. The driver must find the “offender”. If he points to another, then he is taken by the nose to his original place, and the game is repeated. If he guesses correctly, someone else sits in his place.

Blind chicken (variant)

From among the players, a blind chicken and a stocking are chosen by lot. The rest depict paints and whisper the name of the paints to the stocking. The paints stand in a row, a stocking with a blind chicken is in front of them. Then the stocking closes the eyes of the blind chicken with his hands and names some paint. The resulting color flicks the blind hen lightly on the nose and falls into place. Stocking opens her eyes and asks who snapped her. If the chicken guesses right, the one who clicked changes places with her. The colors change their names and the game continues. If the blind chicken makes a mistake, it continues to drive.

Instructions for carrying out: these games are interesting with both small (4 people) and large groups of participants. The rules must be followed: only one player hits (pulls the nose, clicks), rudeness must not be allowed. It’s good if all participants in the game play the role of driver.

Treasury

The driver prepares various items and brings them in a closed “treasury” basket. He invites all participants in the game to guess the objects by touch, without looking. The basket is passed on to all the players, and everyone tries to determine what is in it. Whoever doesn't guess correctly pays forfeit.

Instructions for carrying out: the number of items is selected according to the number of participants in the game. Objects can only be guessed by touch. Among them, you can prepare those that evoke the most unexpected sensations: wet gloves, a brush, etc. After guessing, forfeits are played.

Guess what?

One of the players, chosen by lot, thinks of a word denoting any object known to everyone. Others must guess it by asking the driver several questions, to which he answers only “yes” or “no.”

Instructions for carrying out: no more than 2-3 people participate in the game. You can stipulate the number of questions asked to the driver. The driver cannot answer “I don’t know.” The new driver is the one who guessed the intended word the fastest. It is better for preschoolers to make wishes for objects in the room.

Flies - doesn't fly

This game takes place at the table. The players place their fingers on the table, the driver names birds, animals, insects, flowers and various objects. When naming a flying object, everyone should raise their fingers up. If a non-flying object is named, you should not raise your fingers. Whoever makes a mistake pays forfeit.

You can play this way: participants stand in a circle and when they name a flying object, everyone jumps. If a non-flying object is named, they stand still.

Instructions for carrying out: It depends on the driver how interesting the game will be. At the beginning of the game, it is better for an adult to take on this role in order to show an example of “tasks”: alternate flying and non-flying objects, trying to confuse the participants in the game, for example: a dove, a rocket, Carlson, an iron, a monkey, etc. The driver should raise his fingers, when both a flying object and a non-flying object are named. This helps develop children's attention and endurance.

Playing pebbles with children

Heat

Before the game, the participants, by mutual agreement or counting, decide who should throw pebbles after whom. Then they sit in a circle at the table, each with their own stones. The first player picks up five pebbles, throws one up, and scatters four on the table. He catches a thrown pebble and throws it up again. And while the pebble is flying, you need to have time to touch one of the pebbles lying on the table with your fingers. If several pebbles lie together, you can touch them at the same time and have time to catch the falling pebble. The pebbles touched by the player are put aside. Then the second participant starts the game.

Verts (option)

Scattered stones need to be turned over or moved from their place.

Bridge

Participants in the game place four pebbles in a row close to each other. The fifth pebble is thrown up, four pebbles are quickly taken from the table and the fifth one is caught.

From hand to hand (option)

You need to take as many pebbles from the table as possible and, before catching a thrown pebble, transfer them to your other hand.

Breast

The first player takes five pebbles in his right hand. One throws up, and four puts his chest on the table and with the same hand catches the thrown pebble. Then he throws the pebble up again, quickly takes four pebbles lying on the table and catches the thrown one. The game ends when all players complete the piece.

On the hem

The first player scatters four pebbles on the table, the fifth throws them up. Before catching a thrown pebble, you need to have time to take one pebble from the table and put it on your knees (the hem of your dress). The game continues until all players have placed all their stones on their laps.

Across the river (option)

The pebble is thrown from under the left hand extended forward.

Barter

The player scatters four pebbles on the table, and throws the fifth one upward. You need to quickly take one of the lying pebbles and have time to catch the thrown one. One of the two pebbles is thrown up again, and the second is quickly placed on the table; Instead, you need to take the next one and catch the thrown one. The game ends when the players exchange all the pebbles.

Loner

The participant in the game takes five pebbles in his hand. One of them is thrown up, and four are scattered on the table. He catches a thrown pebble and throws it up again. He quickly takes one pebble from the table and catches the thrown one. The game is repeated several times until all the pebbles are collected from the table.

Deuce

The player holds five pebbles in his hand. One of them throws up, quickly puts two pebbles on the table and catches the one thrown up. There are three stones left in the hand. The player once again throws one pebble up, puts the remaining two on the table and catches the one he threw. The third time the pebble is thrown up, and you need to have time to take two pebbles from the table and catch the thrown one. The fourth time when tossing, you must have time to take the remaining two pebbles.

Threes

The first player holds five pebbles in his hand, throws one up, and places four on the table, but so that three lie together and one separately, and catches the pebble thrown up. Once again he throws the pebble up. Before catching him, you must first take three pebbles from the table. And again the player throws the pebble up, quickly takes the remaining pebble from the table and catches the thrown one. Then other players do the same, competing in dexterity.

Even and odd

One of the players takes a handful of pebbles, throws them up and, turning his hand palm down, catches the pebbles. Covering the caught pebbles with his other hand, he asks: “Even or odd?” Whoever guessed wrong pays forfeit. The one who gave all his forfeits leaves the game. At the end of the game, forfeits are played out.

Scratches

For this game you need 40 pebbles. All the pebbles, except one, are placed on the stake (the place where the game takes place). The first player throws one pebble and, before catching it, quickly takes as many pebbles from the horse as he can and catches the thrown one. Having caught it, the player puts aside all the pebbles except one, throws one pebble again and, while it flies, again takes pebbles from the horse.

If the player does not catch the stone thrown upward, the second player starts the game. Whoever picks up the most pebbles is considered the winner.

Instructions for carrying out: You can play together or in a small group. It is better to take pebbles the size of a hazelnut, round or oval in shape, with a smooth surface (they are comfortable to take in your hand and easy to scatter on the table). You can use acorns and sometimes coins. These games are exciting and useful, cultivate attention, concentration, resourcefulness, develop dexterity of hands and fingers, and precise coordination of movements. Such games strengthen children's quantitative skills.

There are moments in the life of every parent when the child is not able to entertain himself, so in every possible way he clings to the adult, catches his attention, whines and prevents him from doing important things. In his opinion, adult affairs are such a bore! After all, it’s much more interesting to play, watch cartoons and read books. Oh, these kids! So you have to put things aside and figure out what to play with the children so that the apartment does not turn into the count's ruins, and the cat is not found hanging by its tail on a clothesline. Therefore, below are several ideas for playful parenting.

All life is a game!

How quickly we forget that we ourselves were once children! The school education system is gradually washing away the craving for fun children's games, offering not entirely adequate replacements: success, recognition, good grades, a decent future. But if you leave the game in your life, you will easily be able to preserve the entire palette of colors, which allows you to draw inspiration even when you have no strength, when there is endless rain outside, and there is a protracted crisis in the country. Fortunately, with the birth of our own children, we are given a second chance to remember the little child inside us and let him have a little fun...

Games for two year olds

You can also play with a small newborn bag. Children of any age eagerly respond to game messages from the outside. But children after two years become the most interesting for adults. They already understand everything, are open to everything new and are so cute in their desire to copy the behavior of adults. Playing with a 2-year-old child is not at all difficult. It is enough to put a construction set in front of him and show him how the parts are connected, remaining nearby to positively evaluate the first creative results of the work of little fingers. You can offer role-playing games to get acquainted with certain professions or homemade simulators to study basic shapes, colors, and sizes.

Games with children three years old

A wonderful age for children to discover their independence! What to play with a 3 year old child? He himself will show you and tell you what interests him at the moment. This could be modeling from plasticine every evening with the goal of independently creating “Lightning McQueen” following dad’s example. Or a role-playing game in kindergarten, when all the toys must be fed, placed on the potty and placed in the appropriate corners of the children's room. The main thing is not to interfere and, following the advice of Yu. Gippenreiter, help when asked.

Games with four year olds

What to play with children if they are already four? You can offer to make a plasticine labyrinth yourself and try it out right away. To do this, you need to stock up on a cardboard box lid, plasticine, a small iron machine and a magnet. The walls of the labyrinth are drawn on the lid, then plasticine walls are built along the marked lines. The machine is placed at the beginning, and a magnet is attached to the bottom of the lid, by moving which you need to get the machine out of a difficult situation.

Games with five year olds

Playing with a 5-year-old child will not be difficult if you know and support your child’s hobbies. Is your baby an athlete? Then he needs to organize a platform for physical activity using available materials. If the child is a creative person, then you should experiment with different materials and techniques, offering paints, plasticine, scissors, and sewing. For example, five-year-old children are already able to cut out and compose multi-layered paper 3D pictures, panoramas or scenes with moving elements, where smoke pours out of the chimney of a steam locomotive, and hungry chicks poke out of a nest towards their mother.

Games with six year olds

To play with a 6-year-old child, it is better to focus on his hobbies. Games with them can also be in the nature of preparation for school: simple problems, first books for independent reading, first rhyming. The main thing is that children like such games and do not discourage them from their natural desire to learn and learn new things.

Games at home

Bad weather outside or not in the mood for street gatherings? You can always find interesting activities within four walls. Parents can brainstorm ideas for what to play with their kids at home. You will probably have to choose from at least three games that will captivate not only the younger family members, but also the adults.

1. It’s worth cooking with your child. If he is still small, then let him help his mother cut the fruit salad. A couple of drops of yogurt - and the whole family can try the baby’s first dish. If the child has already grown out of regular fine motor skills training, then you should organize the joint preparation of some baked goods, which, again, will be pleasant to taste over a cup of tea. By the way, these can be shaped cookies, for example, in the form of letters and numbers, which a preschooler will be happy to sculpt himself.

2. You can create a homemade twister by drawing colorful circles on a roll of old wallpaper. Or build it from stools, a table, sofa cushions, buttons scattered on the floor and a sleeping cat. Whoever passes all the obstacles cleanly and quietly, without waking the animal, will receive a prize candy.

3. A great time to create a home puppet theater or shadow theater. You have to make a screen, come up with a plot, and cut/glue/sew characters. And then on long winter evenings we organize performances for family viewing.

Outdoor games in spring

The awakening of nature, puddles and drops, birds singing - the most inspiring environment for children's harmless pranks. Here's what you can play with your kids:

1. It is necessary to make a small boat from a walnut shell, providing it with a paper sail on a match attached with plasticine. It’s better to make a boat for mom and dad, too. Then put on high rubber boots and go swimming through the longest puddle with rapids and unexpected turns in the riverbed. You can also practice breathing while helping the boat

2. Early spring is ideal for knocking down icicles. Only for “bullets” you should choose safe material, for example, small buttons or Kinder surprise boxes. You can throw with your hands or use a simple slingshot. Whoever has the most knocked down icicles will do well.

3. You can keep a calendar of the awakening of nature, marking every day how much the snow has melted and how green the trees have become. You can keep a weather diary with your child using the icons “sunny”, “cloudy”, “rain”, “strong wind”, etc.

Street summer games

But in the summer there is no question at all about having a child! You don’t even have to take any gadgets with you: crayons, a shovel with a sand bucket, a jump rope, a ball, but it’s more interesting with them.

1. You can draw circles in chalk and walk along them as if on a road. Some circles may have a semantic meaning, for example, on those shaded with red chalk you need to jump, and on those shaded in blue you need to clap your hands. You can throw pebbles into circles on the asphalt, trying to hit the bull's eye.

2. Fantasy game "The sea is agitated once." This way, children will learn to feel the characteristics of things, phenomena and living beings, depicting them according to their dominant characteristics. For example, how to freeze in the form of a tree or a monkey? Very soon, adults will learn acting skills from their children.

3. You need to visit all the playgrounds in the area, learn to climb trees and swim in local rivers. After all, summer is given to us for this reason: to gain points in the immune basket of both children and adults.

Autumn can be playful too!

What to play with your children in the fall, when it’s slushy and full of “September”? A creative approach to business will quickly take minor notes of mood to a more cheerful level. The main thing is to look for a playful element in everything and create interesting backstories. For example, like this:

1. You can invite the child to choose the direction of the walk and the path to home. Or use the trick of avid travelers: stock up on small white pebbles and leave one at a time on the road, so that you can use them to return later. You can draw a map of your journey, and even bury the treasure in order to find it in the spring.

2. You definitely need to collect your own treasury of natural materials, then you can use them to create crafts for kindergarten or simply to decorate your home.

3. It's time to make bird feeders and put treats there in winter. It’s worth involving dad in the manufacturing process, because the bird’s kitchen must be strong and “survive” the winter cold without any problems.

Winter is the perfect time for games

What games you can play with your children in winter will be told to you by the cheerful children in the yard, who organize snow fights from behind snow walls and form round dances of snowmen.

1. You can try to follow the trail. Let the child step with his feet in the footprints left by adults. At the same time, an adult can fool around and experiment with the width of his step, sometimes mincing like a midget, sometimes measuring his way with leaps and bounds. And it is not necessary to make the path smooth; no one forbids wobbling, circling and jumping: the more extraordinary the path, the more fun the game.

2. Slides! On the butt and on the father, on the ice, on a sled, on squats. All possible options for descending must be tried.

Quiet games before bed

The end of a gaming day full of impressions and pleasant emotions should also be entertaining. Only evening games are aimed not at the child’s development and knowledge of the world, but at appeasing the baby. Routine, repeated quiet conversations about the events of the day that has come to an end, dreamy expectations for the day ahead, a pleasant fairy tale before bed - all this sets the child up for a calm wave. So, what to play with your children before bed:

2. You can put the toys back in place while listening to music, even at speed, but with obligatory stops: stop - freeze and catch your breath, and then start cleaning again. Try folding some toy differently, maybe the new place will be better than the previous one?

3. An adult can start telling a fairy tale, but the child will continue. What interesting directorial discoveries can be gleaned from this joint fantasy work!

I would like to wish readers to make a game a part of their lives, but not the kind of game that psychologists write about in treatises on manipulation and techniques for managing people, but a children’s game that makes the world a little more fun, a little more interesting and a couple of percent more magical.

Very often, dads feel awkward when they have to babysit their little son. Things to do? What to play? You can’t really kick the ball around in the apartment. Maybe to your favorite “tanks”? In fact, cooperative games are not limited to “shooting games” and “football”. There is a lot of interesting entertainment for every age.

www.ya-roditel.ru

As a rule, the mother spends most of the day with the children, so as soon as the father of the family appears on the doorstep, the children hang around their necks asking to play. You shouldn’t refuse, because playing together lays the foundation for relationships. In boys' games, the main goal of which is to develop masculine qualities, dad plays an important role.

Board games

Board games are an excellent opportunity to demonstrate by personal example how to accept defeat and victory with dignity. As you know, men's logic differs from women's, so it is useful if dad explains the rules of the game, tells him which strategy to choose, etc.

Role-playing games for dad and son

Playing daughter-mother with your son is, of course, unlikely, but our other scenarios can be fully considered.

Scenario #1. My dad is an Arabian horse

Dads, don't forget to turn up the sound! Neighing and kicking is a must, as is making sure that the baby stays firmly in the saddle.

Scenario No. 2. Dad and I are like birds

Mom may find this game dangerous, so it is better not to fly long distances in her presence. Don't forget about safety precautions! Do not throw the baby too high, watch the objects that are nearby so that there is no collision with an “iceberg” or “skyscraper”.

galka-igralka.ru

Scenario #3. We are builders

What to build? House, garage, den, castle... Anything and from anything! Boxes, pillows, grandma's duvet, and maybe even mom's stiletto heels will come in handy. Destroying the brilliant creation of architects can be no less interesting than building it. Let your son enjoy the process.

Scenario No. 4. Home cinema

Of course, you won’t have to persuade your son to watch cartoons. This is the case. But try not just turning on the TV, but choosing a cartoon where you can dance and repeat some movements after the characters.

Scenario #5. Quest

You can draw a map and go in search of countless treasures: mom’s delicious borscht or grandma’s apple-filled pancakes.

Scenario No. 6. sleeping beast

If you don’t have the strength at all, play a sleeping tiger, a lion, a heffalump (decide for yourself which one you are more like). The big beast fell asleep and hugged the little one with its paws. So much so that he... fell asleep in his arms (this is in the best case scenario).

If you're less lucky, don't despair. The plot will develop as dad comes up with. For example, the son must get out of the den, but in such a way as not to wake up the big beast (a hungry cannibal).

Further, the game can develop according to the scenario “Stir up the sleeping beast.” The use of noise effects is not prohibited: rattling pots, hissing and barking, growling and slurping - anything, within the permissible decibels.

Strength games, competitions

detsky-mir.com

Boys' games are mostly noisy fussing and running around. Catch-up games, blind man's buff, hide and seek, shooting games, tug of war, arm wrestling, etc. Such active activities stimulate the boy’s physical development, develop dexterity and reaction speed.

Even without going outside, you can come up with entertainment for dad and son: harmless, non-traumatic and non-destructive for the apartment.

www.ya-roditel.ru

Another distinctive feature of men's games is the element of comparison and competition. It is important for boys to find out who is the strongest, the most accurate, the fastest. The spirit of competition is also familiar to adult men.

yanazelenka.livejournal.com

When playing with a child, a father must remember how necessary the feeling of victory is for his son. Of course, it’s not worth playing giveaway all the time, because an easy victory and, even worse, the disclosure of an obvious concession can become a reason for resentment and disappointment. Sometimes you can give in so that the baby feels the joy of being able to defeat a strong and dexterous opponent - dad.

Reading, preparing for classes

Sometimes it’s useful to work with your child, check on assignments and homework. If you can “twist ropes” out of mom, then the child will perceive dad’s serious look and stern but loving voice completely differently.

The main thing that a father who is raising his son should remember is that, first of all, he is a father, and only then a mentor, teacher, and protector.

Modeling, drawing, designing

www.ya-roditel.ru

In addition to noisy outdoor games in the apartment, there are quieter activities. Why not get creative together? Sculpting strange animals or drawing cephalopods is very fun. Moreover, no one can depict a car or a hang glider better than dad!

Tricks and experiments

Collecting

The world of men's hobbies and entertainment is significantly different from women's. With dad you can collect stamps, “cheer” for your favorite football team, design tanks or airplanes, etc.

Joint male hobbies contribute to the child’s self-determination as a representative of the stronger half of humanity and influence the formation of his horizons. In the future, this will help in communicating with peers and will increase your authority among like-minded people (classmates, friends).

Doing housework

www.do3.ru

Who, if not the father, will teach his son how to repair a faucet, drill and hammer nails and fix similar household problems and problems.

Dad is a superhero for his son, a role model. The boy is ready to copy everything!

A father can teach his son to clean up after himself, cook, wash socks and iron shirts. In the future, your son's chosen one will appreciate this. And in the present, the wife and mother will appreciate it.

Dear readers! Tell us what your husbands and acquaintances play with their sons. What do you think is important in a father-son relationship? How a father’s example can influence the future fate of a boy, teenager, or adult man.
