Football by squares
Preparing for the game
You need a piece of paper exactly in the box. We draw a football field so that it is divided in half. We mark the middle of the field. And the gate (6 cells).
We take colored pens (but not necessarily, they are needed so as not to get confused in the order of moves).
Let's play the first move.
Progress of the game
The first player walks from the middle of the field in a line (can be straight or broken) consisting of three segments. These can be the sides of the cell or the diagonal. The main thing is that the segments must be connected in series.
The next player from the end point of the line makes the same move in the direction he needs.
And so on. You cannot cross existing lines and field boundaries.
If the player has nowhere to go, a penalty kick is taken - a straight line of six cells.
At the same time, you can cross the lines. If the free kick ends on an already existing line, or the opponent again has nowhere to go, this is another free kick.
Purpose of the game
Be the first to score a goal against your opponent. Yes! Be sure to agree in advance what is considered a goal - when the line reaches the nearest side of the goal square, or when it reaches the far side.
Simple games
Simple games and competitions are suitable for younger children. They can also be held at the end of the evening, when the guys are already a little tired of active entertainment and want to relax. Simple games include:
"Mummy".
- Children's age: 4+
You need to be the fastest to wrap the participant in toilet paper, making him a real mummy.
"Musical chairs"
- Children's age: 4+
You need to place chairs in a circle, their number should be one less than the number of participants. While the music is playing, the children dance, and as soon as silence sets in, everyone must take a chair. The participant who does not have enough chair is eliminated.
Accuracy games
- Children's age: 4+
For example, throw as many lids into a pan, candies into a bucket, etc.
"Fashion show".
- Children's age: 6+
The birthday boy is given a set of accessories. These can be scarves, glasses, handkerchiefs, hairpins and elastic bands, gloves, sparkles, ribbons and much more. His task is to feel like a designer and “decorate” his guests. At first glance, this is a game for girls, but in fact, boys dress up their comrades with no less delight, showing real miracles of imagination.
"Broken phone".
- Children's age: 6+
The presenter speaks a word into the participant’s ear, which he passes along the chain to the next one. Usually the word reaches the last player in a modified and funny form.
"Ocean is shaking".
- Children's age: 5+
The presenter says: “The sea is worried once, the sea is worried twice, the sea is worried three times, ... the figure freezes.” The figure can be nautical, athletic, cartoonish - in general, anything that comes to the presenter’s mind. Next, you need to guess what figure each participant guessed.
"Bubble".
- Children's age: 5+
The task of each participant is to blow the largest soap bubble.
"Crocodile".
- Children's age: 6+
Everyone’s favorite game is “showing off”, when the presenter speaks a word into the participant’s ear, and he must show it to the other players.
To come up with simple birthday games for children at home, parents just need to remember their own childhood. Many modern children do not know old games; even the usual “Stream” or “Loaf” can become interesting fun for kids. But for older children it’s worth coming up with more complex competitions.
An excellent ending to the celebration will be a fireworks display. All guests - both children and adults - can go outside and admire the amazing fireworks launched by parents in honor of the birthday boy.
A child's birthday should be bright, fun and unforgettable. Your holiday will be exactly like this, subject to careful preparation and competent organization. At the end of the celebration, the children will have a lot of positive emotions and memories for many years to come. Parents will feel like real superheroes who were able to make the dreams of their little birthday boy come true.
After a year
Tactile sensations
It's no secret that paper comes in a wide variety of forms - smooth, rough, thin, thick, etc. Take a one-year-old child's hand in yours and run it over a newspaper, glossy magazine, napkin, cardboard, velvet paper. He will probably enjoy getting to know different surfaces. This simple game will enrich the baby’s understanding of the world, develop sensory sensations, which contributes to the rapid formation of speech.
Kolobok
Invite your child to play Kolobok. To do this, you will have to crumple a piece of paper and roll it into a ball. A one-year-old child will have to help, but a two-year-old child will cope with this task quite well. Roll the “koloboks” along the floor with your hand, make a whole family of them - dad (the biggest), mom (smaller) and baby (the smallest). This is how we develop our pen skills and study the concepts of magnitude.
Find a surprise
The game “Find the surprise” will be interesting for both a child who has just turned one year old and older children. Wrap a small object in paper. Take a bear, a dog or a bunny and tell the little one on behalf of the toy: “Hello, Timoshka! I brought you a surprise. Do you want to see what's here?" Give your child the opportunity to unwrap the package and rejoice with him at the discovery.
After two years, this game can be complicated. Now you need to not only open the gift, but also guess from the description what it is. For example: “This surprise is round, rubber, it can roll and jump. What is this? Well done - that's a ball."
Lunch for dolls
Let's prepare lunch for the toys. Place dolls and animals, place plates and cups in front of them. Let the baby tear off small pieces from a whole sheet of paper with his fingers. Place the resulting candies or pies into plates and treat your guests. With older children, you can count the torn parts and compare who has the most candies and who has the least.
