Cool weather gradually gives way to warm weather.
Why not go out and have fun with your friends?
Moreover, there are many fun children's games.
What can you play outside with friends in the spring?
Games are more fun if they are moving. What else do children need? Of course, a good mood and a reason to throw out your irrepressible energy. Here's how to do it:
- "The quieter you go, the further you'll get".
To play, mark the court with two lines - “start” and “finish”. The length of the corridor depends on the number of participants. As a rule, 20–50 meters is enough.
The players stand on the starting line, and the driver (“water”) goes beyond the finish line and turns away. When everyone is ready, the “water” says: “The slower you go, the further you will go. Stop!"
As soon as the first word is spoken, the players run with all their might to the finish line. However, after the end, everyone should freeze. If the driver sees that after the word “stop” someone moves, that participant is eliminated.
The players' task is to cross the finish line as quickly as possible, and the “water” must prevent this. The phrase is allowed to be spoken at different speeds.
- "Bouncers."
5–10 players and two drivers (bouncers) participate. You will also need a ball and an obstacle-free area.
The drivers stand opposite each other at a distance of five meters. Their task, throwing the ball, is to knock out the players standing between them. The latter must dodge.
Bouncers have several commands in their arsenal:
- “Bomb” - the ball is thrown up, and the players squat in the center. Whoever was hit was eliminated.
- “Stone” - the bouncer places the ball near him, and the players run around him in a circle. As soon as the last participant does this, the ball is thrown.
- “Grenade” - the ball is thrown as usual, but the players must not move from their place to dodge.
- A “candle” is an opportunity for a player to get a spare “life”. To do this, you need to catch the ball before it touches the ground. When the last participant remains on the field, in order to win, he must avoid being hit as many times as he is old.
- "Sparrows and Crows."
An interesting team-versus-team game: sparrows versus crows. Some must run away, while others must catch.
The game ends when all opposing players are caught. The game involves a driver, whose task is to pronounce commands and confuse the players.
He says one of two words - “sparrows” or “crows”. Those whom he named are caught, and the others run away.
It would seem that what is interesting here? The fact is that the driver can give commands at different speeds. For example: “Vo... ro...NY!” or “Wo... ro... BEAT!” Until the word is completed, the teams do not know what role they will play. This creates confusion and funny situations.
In addition, the presenter can fool the players by saying similar words: “Vo...ro...TNIK!, Vo...ro...NKA!” etc.
- "Wet chicken."
A game for children that takes place near monkey bars, cobwebs, ladders and horizontal bars. There can be as many participants as you like, and the main rule is not to move further than a meter from the structures.
The driver is blindfolded and spun around. The players disperse and hide at a height. From time to time they may descend and run to another place.
Zhmurka can catch participants by the legs, but climbing stairs is prohibited. The driver is allowed to use two commands once per game:
- “Stop Earth” - everyone on the ground freezes for 5 seconds.
- “Stop Moon” - for 5 seconds, players at height are not allowed to move.
The caught player is called a “wet chicken” and is made the new driver.
What games can you play outside with friends in the summer?
Don't know what to play with your friends in the summer?
Take a closer look at the traditional fun that has been loved by more than one generation:
- "Clap."
To play you will need fluff or a light feather and a little space.
Participants stand in a circle, throw up the cotton and try to keep it in the air by blowing on it in turn. You can't help with your hands.
The trick is to blow on the flap with different strengths, thus confusing your opponents. The one who cannot pass the feather to another player loses.
- "Cripple".
Participants stand at a distance of 1-2 m from each other and throw the ball.
Anyone who misses it loses the right to use their leg, arm or mouth (speaking is prohibited). Whether the player becomes one-legged or mute is decided by the one who threw the ball to him.
If a one-legged player loses his balance or, being left without an arm, misses the ball, he is eliminated. You can return a body part only by taking it away from another player if he makes the same mistake.
The last player remaining on the field is declared the winner.
- "Cossacks-robbers".
There are different games of catch-up, but this option has long become a classic. The players are divided into two teams - “Cossacks” and “robbers”. The second ones run away, the first ones catch up.
The escaping team is given 5-10 minutes to hide, after which the “Cossacks” go hunting.
To prevent the “robbers” from scattering far, it is necessary to establish the boundaries of the playing area - within the yard or from the garage to the store.
“Cossacks” win in two cases: all “robbers” are found; managed to find out the secret password. It is in the second option that the whole point of the game is!
- "Fish, bird, beast."
This is a variation of the game "Edible - Inedible", but with modified rules. Children stand in a circle and throw a ball to each other, saying one of three words: “fish”, “bird” or “beast”.
The one who catches the ball must name the animal that belongs to this species. If you hesitate, make a mistake or repeat yourself, you’re out. The last participant wins.
To make the game more interesting, a leader is appointed, who stands in the center of the circle and throws the ball to each participant, saying a certain word.
There are many interesting games for children that give joy and fun. However, their meaning is not only entertainment, there is also an educational aspect.
Active games teach a child to interact socially, establish social connections and work in a team. Therefore, encourage your children to play outdoors, and the more company they have, the better.
Now many mothers agree that leaving a child of 8-10 years old alone at home is completely normal. There’s just one problem - what to do with your son or daughter while you’re away?
So that your baby doesn’t get bored (even if you’re only gone for a couple of hours), you need to prepare in advance. It is better to protect a child 8-10 years old from spending time with TV or at the computer. Convince your child that this is not entirely useful, and not very safe either - but what if some failures occur in the power supply system during your absence?
Place your baby's books in a visible place . If a child wants to read, he or she should have free access to his or her books and magazines. Reading is a simple and accessible way to have a good time, and it is advisable to introduce children to books from an early age. If your child is not too interested in paper books, invite him to listen to an audiobook on the player.
Do not hide coloring books, stencils, paints, pencils and plasticine far away. Invite your child to draw something that will really interest him when you arrive - for a boy, for example, you can draw the car of your dreams, and for a girl, you can draw yourself in the image of your favorite princess. Naturally, don’t forget to praise your child when he comes home - after all, the baby definitely tried. An interesting option would also be to make a craft (something like a collage) from clippings from old magazines. For example, offer to depict your child’s dream house - with all the accessories, such as a kindergarten, a dog and a swimming pool. The search for suitable pictures will captivate your child, perhaps even for several hours. And the finished work can be saved and shown to a teenager in a few years - and invited to follow his childhood dream.
If you know your child is confident in microwave cooking (it’s best not to let children of this age near the “big” stove for now) - stock up on a couple of recipes. For example, a recipe for simple hot sandwiches - with vegetables and cheese. Share with your son or daughter a recipe for a delicious cupcake in a mug - stir 4 tablespoons of flour, 2 cocoa, 1 egg, 2-3 tablespoons of sugar, a little milk, vegetable oil, cinnamon and vanilla to taste. It is better to immediately cook the mixture in a mug, then put it in the microwave at full power for 2-3 minutes. Such simple but incredibly tasty recipes will help children not to go hungry if, for example, you accidentally forget to leave your child lunch.
There are also many different craft kits - with all the necessary parts and materials. Children at this age are interested in conducting various experiments - buy your child a young chemist's kit. With the help of such kits you can grow a crystal or make a volcano. Girls will be interested in kits for making beads, stained glass engravings, and kits for creating jewelry. For your son, you can buy a children's microscope, a set for tricks or cutting with a jigsaw.
Invite your offspring to study a foreign language . For example, let him listen to audio stories in English - many of these for different ages can be found on the Internet.
You can invite your son to do modeling, and your daughter to do origami. . These simple ways to have fun only require a little ingenuity and a few sheets of colorful paper.
Don't forget about toys - at this age, dolls are still relevant (but at the age of 7, girls already begin to attach great importance to appearance), puzzles (with their favorite cartoons and movie characters), and construction sets. Invite your child to make a hut out of blankets and pillows - an activity that children entertained themselves with several decades ago is still relevant today.
Upon returning home, praise your child for obedience and order (even if his level is far from ideal) and do not forget to bring home something tasty as a reward for the time spent alone.
The best games for two small children are active ones. If classes for kids are tiring and teachers do not recommend unnecessarily overloading children with lessons and additional activities, then both kids and older children can play, run, jump and pour out energy for almost unlimited time. Especially if there are two children in the family, who are permanent partners for each other for a variety of entertainments.
Dance creativity and games for two children bring a positive attitude, improve physical qualities, and promote psychomotor development. Children who are well “freaked out” during the day have an excellent appetite, good sound sleep, and excellent health. You can play active outdoor games both with and without the participation of parents, in the house or on the street.
Outdoor games are one of the main tools for children's development
Outdoor games for two children are an exciting and very emotional activity, which the elders direct depending on the rules of the upcoming game. Active pastime is equally interesting for children of different ages and genders, and can unite even not very friendly brothers and sisters of different ages, not to mention twins and children close in age.
The benefits of this type of activity are difficult to overestimate, because gaming is one of the leading activities in human development, improving skills and abilities that are useful for everyday life, bringing bright colors and excitement to banal everyday life. Most outdoor games help children develop dexterity, coordination and speed, teach them how to interact with each other, and give them the joy of victory and the ability to survive defeat.
In the process of outdoor games, children quickly learn to act together, obey common rules, and develop positive personal qualities such as fairness, discipline, honesty, the ability to empathize and help each other.
Starting from the third year of life, that is, from the age of two, babies already walk, run, learn to jump, climb and crawl perfectly. But even if your first-born is in high school, and your second baby has barely begun to walk, you can come up with excellent and interesting games that actively involve two children at once.
You can play the same game several times in a row; as a rule, satiety occurs on the fifth round, when about 15 minutes of active action have passed, but older children can play longer, and quite autonomously, without distracting parents to regulate gaming activities and fair judging.
Outdoor games for two children at home
Most outdoor games do not require a large number of participants and large spaces. This means that your children can easily play outdoor games for two children at home. We suggest recalling proven options from childhood that never lose their relevance, as well as paying attention to new games for two children, which were invented by enterprising mothers.
Hide and seek
Everything ingenious is simple. Of course, there is not so much hide and seek in an ordinary apartment, but interest in this game is not lost at all. Of course, this game is not particularly active, but you can’t call it calm either. Develops imagination and attentiveness. For kids, you can suggest hidden corners under the sofa, behind the door, behind the curtain, under the table with a tablecloth, under the blanket in the bed. It is better to unobtrusively control dangerous places by older family members so that little people do not hide in corners and objects they are not supposed to.
The game can be complicated for older children by hiding not yourself, but the object, and then the game turns into “hot - cold,” which is also very exciting for children. And for kids, make it easier - let the older child play peek-a-boo with the younger one, this is also a kind of hide and seek.
Catch-up
This is a fairly simple game, and even children of different ages can play it. If you need to restrain an older child, to even out the chances, you can offer him a bag, or move on all fours. You can also turn the classic catch-up into a run on all fours or even a “crawl,” when both participants, the youngest of whom does not yet know how to move in any other way, must achieve the intended goal.
Ball games
A ball at home is a weapon of mass destruction, but only if it is thrown and caught. But it’s very possible to roll it on the floor - with their legs spread wide, the children sit opposite each other and roll the ball between them.
Bowling
Bowling sets are available in almost all children's stores, and the price range ranges from several tens of rubles to several thousand. If the idea came instantly, but there is no set with pins and a ball, it doesn’t matter! Bottles filled with water, cubes stacked on top of each other, and an ordinary ball that should be rolled on the floor would be perfect - it would be a fantasy.
Acceleration
One of the children makes a movement, the second repeats it a little faster, the first even faster... And so on until repetition becomes impossible. And the second variation will be a mini competition - children try to perform some action faster in a race. Whoever bends down faster, runs to the front door, sits down ten times - there are many options, and you can come up with them ad infinitum until the children get tired of playing.
Who has the most reliable hat?
An object that is not too heavy, but not too light, is placed on the children’s head. After which they walk with it on their head until it falls. The one who still has the “hat” wins, and the game starts over. This action has an excellent effect on the posture of children.
Day and night
This is the mafia, but without murders - during the day the children wake up, run around, scream and misbehave, at night you need to plop down on the floor and pretend to be asleep. An adult leads the game, changing the time of day; he can also complicate the game by providing only one sleeping place - then the game becomes an analogue of “third wheel” for two players.
Disco
Both boys and girls love to dance from birth, first shaking their butts funny, then twirling and jumping. There is no point in losing this love of movement and music - turn on dance music for the children and invite them to dance. After half an hour of active body movements, tired children will enjoy playing calm games.
And in stores there are play dance mats designed just for two children, this gives the dance structure and a competitive element.
Siamese twins
Both children stand next to each other and clasp their hands - now they are Siamese twins and must do everything together without releasing their hands. In this way they can walk, squat, play, cut something out of paper, draw and perform various actions. A charge of fun and active leisure is guaranteed for both children.
A blind seer saves the world
One of the children is a blind seer; he must overcome the path to Mount Kilimanjaro (divan) with the help of his guide. On the way, children must overcome the river, cross a bridge - a rolled-up blanket, crawl through a cave - under a table and other obstacles that their mother's sophisticated mind is enough to overcome. Then the players change places.

Games and entertainment “on paper” are familiar to people from school desks. They are distinguished by their simplicity and the fact that they are able to capture and interest from the first minutes. For such games, you only need a sheet of paper (depending on each: checkered, lined or blank), as well as a writing pen or pencil.
Games on paper:
- Tic Tac Toe – a classic game for which you need to draw a grid of 9 cells. Decide with your partner who will draw what (crosses or toes). Start the game, each move is one sign. The winner is the one who managed to draw three identical signs horizontally, diagonally or vertically.
- Sticks – For this game you will need a checkered sheet of paper. On it you need to draw a geometric rhombus. The task of each player is to draw sticks inside the rhombus, which would occupy one side of the cell. If someone manages to find an open cell (that is, sticks on three sides), he immediately draws a fourth, and inside his own sign - a cross or a zero. The one who draws the most symbols on the playing field wins.
- Hand - you will need a checkered piece of paper (you can also use a lined one). Trace your hand, inside its outline you should write the numbers from 1 to 100 in different places (confused). Your partner does the same on his leaf. Then you exchange papers. The task is to take turns finding a number from 1 to 100 and circling it after finding it. While you are looking for it, your partner draws zeros around the outline of the hand. The winner is the one who draws a full sheet of zeroes in the “free territory”.
- Sea battle - In order to start the game, you should draw two battlefields (for each player). The field looks like a square, 10 by 10 cells each (the top line is designated by letters: from a to i, and the left vertical line is from 1 to 10. Inside the field, each player draws ships: 1 of 4 cells, 2 of 3, 3 of 2 -x and 1 single). Your task is to shoot at the enemy field, calling the coordinates, for example: “a-10” or “g-7”. The winner is the one who first “sinks” all the enemy ships.
- Words - A long word is written on a piece of paper. The task of each player is to come up with as many small words as possible from a long word. The one whose number is the largest will win. For example, the word “parallelogram” and from it the words: “pair”, “gram”, “Lego”, “goal”, “frame” and so on.
- Word crossword – Write a long word in the middle of the sheet. Your task is to add small or other words that would consist of several letters of the original one. The winner is the one who composes the maximum number of words (1 word – 1 point), the longest word (more than one letter – 2 points).

What cards can you play together?
Many people like to play cards, because they allow you to completely forget about time and have fun.
Interesting card games:
- Fool - This is an old and familiar game to everyone. There are two types: “Ordinary Fool” and “Flip”. The objective of the game is to beat a higher card of the same suit or any trump card. Each player receives 6 cards and, as they are discarded, they replenish their set. The one who runs out of cards wins.
- Queen of Spades - Players must have an equal number of cards. Among them, all must be paired. In turn, each player draws a card from a partner without looking and, adding a pair to it, folds it back (for example: 9 cross and 9 diamond). Among all the cards there is one - “Queen of Spades”. The one who has this card left (it is the only one that does not have a pair, since 1 queen is discarded from the deck immediately) and its owner at the end of the game will become the losing side.
- Trump card - Place the deck face down in front of you. Designate a trump card (any suit) in advance and turn over one card at a time. Whoever is lucky enough to play trump takes the entire stack of turned over cards. The one who has more cards will lose.
- Drunkard - Place the deck face down in front of you. Start turning over the cards one at a time. The one whose card is larger will have to take the entire inverted pile. The loser will have more cards at the end.
