Game programs for children for the summer / summer entertainment

Non-traditional Olympic Games

Every four years, people around the globe watch in fascination as athletes from different countries try to run faster, throw further and jump higher than everyone else. Offer children's camp participants to test themselves as well.

Any sports competition always captivates children, because they like to compete and measure their strength and dexterity. The Olympic Games in the camp are a traditional event, but we propose to introduce elements of unusualness into these sports competitions. Funny competitions that give everyone the opportunity to express themselves - isn’t this the kind of entertainment that’s best suited for children in the summer? But we suggest starting this event for children with the opening ceremony.

Olympic Games Opening Ceremony

The logo of the Olympic Games is known all over the world - these are five intertwined rings. The motto of the Olympics is also well known: “Faster, higher, stronger.” During the opening ceremony, participants from each country carry their flags.

Teach children about the history of the Olympic Games, the significance of the opening ceremony, and encourage each squad to create their own flags and mottos. Flags can be drawn on durable paper, such as cardboard, and the motto can be part of the flag's design. Once the flags are ready, the opening ceremony of the Olympics can begin, at which children should be invited to make a presentation of their team and explain the meaning of their flag.

After the opening ceremony is over, you can move on to the competition part.

Unusual “Olympic” competitions for children in the summer

For each of the proposed types of competitions, preliminary preparation will be required (attributes, markings, places for fans).

"Discus thrower". Distance throwing competition. You can use old CDs for the competition. Each participant has 3 attempts. The longest throw is counted.
"Javelin Throwers" Prepare a simple target (draw with chalk on a wall or paint on a cardboard box) and blow up several long, thin balloons. The goal is to hit the target with the spear ball. You can also throw these balls at a distance.
"5 rings" You will need 5 rings, painted in Olympic colors. You can cut them out of regular cardboard or disposable plates. Also prepare 5 wooden sticks that need to be driven into the ground. Children will have to throw rings from a distance of 4-5 steps. The most accurate participant wins.
"Weightlifters." Give soft plastic balls or tennis balls "weight" by writing numbers from 5 to infinity on them. Then they need to be placed in a large box. The goal of the competition is to hold as many balls as possible in your hands, choosing those with the highest “value.” The weightlifter who manages to hold the “most weight” is declared the winner.
" Box ." The boxing ring is designated, and the presenter invites the boxers to fight. He sets them up for a serious boxing match and suggests putting on gloves (you can take work gloves). When the opponents are ready and waiting for the command to start the battle, the host suddenly announces that the word “box” is translated from English as “box” and changes the task for the players: they must throw boxes of different sizes at a distance. The strongest is the one whose “box” flies the farthest.
"Mopbrokerling". Markings are made as in curling (a long rectangular area, two houses - targets). Curling brushes are mops, stones are small toy cars. The rules of the game should be simplified: an accurate throw (driving and stopping the car at the target house) gives a point.
" Show jumping " . Prepare an obstacle course and give the contestant a stick, which will be his horse. Having ridden it, he will have to overcome an obstacle course. Obstacles should not be too high, make them accessible to overcome “on horseback”. Victory will go to the most dexterous and fastest rider.

Newspaper tournament

Newspaper is an accessible and low-cost material. Use it when organizing summer activities for children. We have collected here some competitions using newsprint. Surely, you can supplement them with your own games and relay races.

Competitions for the newspaper tournament

"Presentation". Find suitable letters and words for self-presentation on the pages of newspaper sheets. Cut them out and paste them on a piece of album paper so that you get a small coherent story. Time to complete the task is 15 minutes.
"Snowball". On command, crumple a sheet of newspaper until you get a ball, holding it in your outstretched hand. The winner is the one who completes the task faster.
"Hundred Meter". Make shoes from sheets of newspaper, wrapping them around your feet and tying them with laces. Having put on your shoes, run a hundred meters. The fastest runner is revealed.
"Musical pause". Teams are invited to create an ensemble and, using newspaper sheets as musical instruments, play “Song about Summer” (“This is what our summer is...”). You can pat, tear the newspapers or rustle them.
"Newspaper ball." Balls crumpled up from newspapers will be used for throwing. Instead of a basket, you can use a cardboard box. Throwing options can be very different: with the right and left hand, from behind the head, from under the leg, with your back turned, etc.
"Origami". Fold an airplane, a boat, or a cap out of a piece of newspaper faster than your opponents.
"Reactive plane". Goal: fly your paper plane further than your opponents. Use the airplanes folded in the previous competition.
"Water-carrier." Carry water in newspaper bags, trying to fill your glass faster than your opponents.
"Wheelball." Make a fan from newspaper sheets for each of the participants. With their help you need to throw the balloon onto the enemy field. Task: prevent the ball from falling on your site.
"Useful reading." Each team should be given an identical copy of the newspaper. The presenter announces a word or phrase that is somewhere on the pages of these newspapers. The team that finds the given word faster will be the winner.
"Accountants". Count the number of punctuation marks and letters in a given paragraph. Whoever names the number correctly the fastest is the winner.
"Experts" Goal: find out who knows more newspaper names. You can call them one by one. The team that, in turn, could not remember anything else loses. You can write names on a piece of paper, then the presenter simply counts the number of names.
"Crossing". Get to the finish line using two newspapers. You should shift newspapers, stepping from one to another.
"Islands". The spread newspaper should accommodate as many team members as possible. If the teams are small in composition, then the newspapers should be folded.
"Fashion designers". Create a dress or suit from several sheets of newspaper and tape and hold a fashion show.
"Sculptors". Tear a sheet of newspaper to give it a finished shape, for example, a star, a flower, a snowflake. The “sculptor” who creates the most beautiful and original figure wins.
"Shooting Range." While forming balls from newspaper sheets, knock down a plastic bottle.
"Surprise". Any item is wrapped in a large number of layers of newsprint. The winner is the team that gets the gift the fastest.
“No matter how long the rope hangs...” Make a “rope” of maximum length from newspapers. The task completion time is 2 minutes. Whichever team has the longest “rope” wins.
“Waste paper collectors” – final competition. After previous competitions, there will probably be a lot of paper lying around. With this last test of the teams, you can kill two birds with one stone: hold the final competition and restore order by cleaning the territory. Give each team one garbage plastic bag and ask them to collect all the garbage that is nearby. The team whose bag is the heaviest at the end of the competition wins.
