Maslenitsa with fun game contests. Carnival contests for students. Games and competitions for Maslenitsa indoors for schoolchildren. Entertainment during the Maslenitsa holidays. Shrovetide contests for adults

Any holiday in kindergarten is a whole event for children, a kind of miracle that they are looking forward to. And such magic in the life of preschoolers should be as much as possible. A wonderful occasion to have fun and be imbued with folk traditions is the bright and bright Maslenitsa holiday, or seeing off winter. What games and fun to offer the guys on this day? How to involve parents in entertainment?

Maslenitsa outdoor games

The ancient Slavs believed that if it was boring to spend the whole Shrovetide week, then next year there would be no luck. And after having fun during the holidays, you can already work hard. That is why in Russia there were so many games and fun dedicated to Maslenitsa. It is imperative to tell preschoolers about this and invite them to arrange a holiday on the eve of spring. You can do it on the street. At the same time, outdoor games will be the predominant entertainment so that the guys do not freeze.

Parents can also be invited to such a holiday in the fresh air. It’s good to ask them in advance to prepare some holiday attributes for the children: for example, scarves in the Russian folk style for girls, masks or unusual hats for boys. It will be great if the teacher dresses up in an appropriate costume that matches the color of the holiday, for example, transforms into Spring (a green sundress over outerwear, a wreath with flowers and ribbons).

If the teacher puts on a costume that matches the color of the holiday, the children will be delighted

"Carousel"

Traditionally, the carousel game was arranged at the Maslenitsa festivities. To do this, a high pole was installed on the square, to which multi-colored long ribbons were attached. The kids grabbed onto them and ran around.

Such fun can be arranged in the kindergarten area. A low pole can be held by an adult and rotated. You can also use a hoop (ribbons are tied to it), the teacher again stands in the center and rotates it.

When the children start running, the adult turns the pole in the right direction

The rules of the game can be very different depending on the age of the children. For kids, it will be enough to move at a different pace according to the words of a famous song (adult says):

Barely, barely, barely
The carousels spin
And then, then, then
All run, run, run.
Hush, hush, don't rush
Stop the carousel
One-two, one-two
Here the game is over.

For older kids, the rules can be more complicated. Preschoolers run in a circle to the Russian plus melody (you can take the speakers outside) or to the beat of a tambourine. When the music stops, each child must grab the end of the ribbon (until then they do not touch them). At the same time, there are one fewer ribbons than children: the baby left without a ribbon is eliminated. Then the game continues until there are two participants and one ribbon left (each time one is untied from the pole or hoop).

Such a game with kids can be played both in the hall and on the street. In the latter case, a tambourine can be an accompaniment, and children and adults sing the song in chorus.

"Burners"

Be sure to offer the children traditional Shrovetide burners. At the beginning of the game, the children form a "brook" - they stand in pairs in a column, take hold of the handles and raise them.

Shrovetide burners will amuse children like their peers many centuries ago

The couple standing at the very end runs forward in the "corridor" under the linked handles. When all the couples run in this way, the children sing the song “Burn, burn clearly!” in unison:

Burn, burn clear
To not go out!
Look at the sky
The birds are flying
The bells are ringing:
Ding dong, ding dong
Get out quick!

After that, the couple standing in front scatters to the sides, and the driver (let it be an adult for the first time) tries to catch one of these guys. If the children managed to run to the end of the column and hold hands again, then the next couple will scatter. If one of the participants is caught, then he already becomes the driver (the former takes his place).

The game "Burners" is more suitable for older preschoolers, as it requires a certain dexterity and speed.

"Trap"

On Maslenitsa, you can also play games familiar to children, but they must be given a festive flavor. For example, in the game "Trap" the driver is dressed up as a goat.

Familiar games can be given a Maslenitsa flavor, for example, by dressing the driver as a goat

A goat (or a goat) is a traditional Slavic character of disguise. The costume of this animal (a wooden head with horns, a beard made of straw, a casing turned inside out with wool) was put on for Christmas and Shrovetide detours. This animal was considered a symbol of fertility, a rich harvest. On Maslenitsa, they even sometimes brought a live goat.

Participants turn to the "goat":

gray goat,
tail white,
We'll get you drunk
We will feed you
You do not butt us
And play Lovishka.

After the last words, the players scatter around the site, and the "goat" tries to catch up with someone.

Shrovetide fights

What a Maslenitsa holiday without fistfights! Only in kindergarten this game needs to be made safer: the participants do not fight with their fists, but use stick-shaped balloons (you can even build swords). Participants stand on a bench and strike each other, trying to knock down the enemy.

Traditional fisticuffs should be made safer

Competition "Snowdrops"

Since Shrovetide is also a meeting of spring, you can use the symbol of this season in the game, for example, a snowdrop. You will need quite a lot of artificial flowers (they can be made in advance with the guys in class), or again, they can be built from long balloons. Preschoolers are divided into two or three teams. Music sounds, during which an adult scatters snowdrops in the snow. As soon as the melody stops, the teams begin to collect flowers. The winner is the owner of the largest bouquet.

Preparing for the holiday is also a holiday, so older preschoolers will be happy to make snowdrops with their own hands

"Masha-confused"

Children form a long "chain" - they hold each other by the shoulders or waist. The first is the driver, he starts to run around the site in different directions. The task of the players is not to break the "chain" and not fall (the hardest thing is for the children standing at the end). When someone falls, he is out of the game.

Indoor games and fun

Much more often, the Maslenitsa holiday in kindergarten is arranged in the music hall. Various games and fun are also arranged here, but, of course, they are already calmer than on the street.

The room has better acoustics, so musical games are more successful - the children themselves sing songs (to the accompaniment of a music director).

round dance games

It is good to conduct various round dance games to the music. After all, the round dance is associated with the sun and pancakes - the main symbols of Maslenitsa. It is necessary to draw the attention of children to this similarity.

The circle dance symbolizes the sun and looks like a pancake - children should definitely learn about it

In the round dance game itself, you must also use the attributes of the holiday, for example, carved pancakes, the sun, a Shrovetide doll, etc.

In a round dance game, you need to use holiday symbols

"Damn golden"

Children form a circle. Together with the teacher and the music director, they sing a song:

Oh damn gold! You go around in circles
You will find a friend for yourself, you will start a round dance!
Masha, come out into the circle, start dancing,
And we will clap, and we will stomp!
Oh, damn golden, dance with me,
You are blush, you are good, you look like the sun!
Oh damn gold! You will go around in circles.

Simultaneously with singing, a cardboard pancake is passed around the circle. The child, on which the song ended, goes to the center and performs dance movements to the music. Then he bows, returns to the dance again, and the game is repeated.

"Kostroma"

A driver is assigned - "Kostroma", he becomes in the center. The rest of the guys move in a round dance, holding hands and talking with "Kostroma" to the musical accompaniment:

“Kostroma, Kostroma, my sovereign!
Kostromushka has jelly with a pie,
Kostromushka has a cottage cheese pie!”
Are you healthy Kostroma?
Kostroma: "Healthy!"
Children: "Where were you, Kostoroma?"
Kostroma: "On the river!"
Children: “What did you see, Kostroma?”
Kostroma: "Suru duck!"
Children: What are you doing now?
Kostroma: "Now I'm catching you!"

After that, the children scatter (the round dance "crumbles"), and "Kostroma" seeks to overpower someone. The caught child himself becomes the driver.

"Round dance with a scarf"

Preschoolers should also be offered the traditional Shrovetide round dance game using a handkerchief. Shrovetide (an adult in the appropriate outfit) becomes in the center of the circle and pronounces the words:

And I'm Maslenitsa, I'm not a stepdaughter,
As I go with a handkerchief, so now I will come to you!
A handkerchief lies on the shoulder, who will run faster,
He will take a handkerchief from me and call spring to us!

Children pronounce the call (simultaneously go in a circle):

Come spring, come spring! All of us will not sleep!
Come with joy! Feed us all!

The round dance stops, Maslenitsa stands in front of two kids and points to them with a handkerchief. The guys stand with their backs to each other and, according to the signal, run in a circle in opposite directions. Of these, the one who runs faster and has time to take a handkerchief from Shrovetide will win.

Of course, for the game you need to use a scarf with a Russian national ornament

"We bake pancakes"

You can offer the children a fascinating round dance dramatization. The host offers to bake delicious pancakes:

In order for the stove to become hot, a fire should be made in it - the children depict it with loud applause.
Now I need a frying pan. It is round, so you need to join hands (preschoolers form a round dance). The pan should be heated hotter - the children dance to the sounds of a quadrille (the leader demonstrates the movements).
Pancakes are good with jam. The presenter is interested in what kind of jam the kids love and offers raspberry - the guys again take their hands and run in a circle to the song "Let's go to the forest for raspberries."
Pancakes can also be eaten with caviar. It is necessary to impose it, but more - all participants in the round dance are twisted into one huge lump (in a spiral, an adult goes ahead).
The host reports that the pancakes turned out nice, beautiful, and ruddy. To the music, preschoolers go in a circle, first in one direction, then in the other - depict pancakes.

To heat the pan hotter, the kids dance a mischievous quadrille

After such a dance, it would be ideal for the children to have a tea party with pancakes at the tables.

Shrovetide fun

Fun is not as dynamic as games. These can be improvisation tasks, creative competitions, competitions in reading poetry, guessing riddles. Parents of preschoolers can be actively involved in all this if they are present at the holiday.

"Skomoroshki"

For younger preschoolers, the fun "Buffoons" is suitable. Kids put on buffoon hats with bells and perform various tasks: they dance, show how a bear, goose, cockerel, bunny, fox walks, goat butts, the sun rolls across the sky, etc.

Kids put on buffoon hats and perform various tasks - they dance, show how a bear, a goose, etc.

"Iron"

Fun is already appropriate for older preschoolers. You will need a tong and a cast iron (but not heavy). The task of each participant is to carry it along the specified route (for example, a circle) and not drop it. It's not as easy as it seems at first glance.

It turns out that it’s not so easy to carry a cast iron without dropping the lid.

"Goat-dereza"

This is fun for kids of all ages. The teacher takes out the Goat, a Russian folk amulet doll, and asks the children what amusement they know about the goat. The guys, of course, begin to tell "There is a horned goat ...". At the end of the nursery rhyme, the adult “butts” the most serious and upset child with a goat.

The goat should amuse the most serious child - "gore" him

"Panicle"

Children stand in a row and pass each other a broom decorated with satin ribbons, paper flowers, spikelets, etc. All this happens to a fast melody. When the music stops, the broom is in someone's hands. This child will have to guess a riddle, tell a rhyme or sing a ditty about Maslenitsa.

Whoever has a broom in their hands must complete the task, for example, sing a ditty about Shrovetide

"Mail»

This is a Russian dialogue game that children should learn in advance:

Host: Knock knock!
Children: Who is there?
Host: Mail!
Children: Where?
Host: Out of town!
Children: What are they doing in the city?
Host: clap your hands!

After the last words, the guys begin to clap their hands. Then the game starts again, only after the words "What are they doing in the city?" another task is given (they can be very different, very funny, for example, stand on one leg).

"Pancakes - cakes"

This is a fun and perky chants where there are no winners and losers. The guys are divided into two teams: one, on a signal, should shout “pancakes” in unison, the other - “flat cakes” (children always adore this). The proposed text is as follows:

The winter was good, we see it off
And we joyfully meet the warmth of spring.
We bake pancakes with pripekom (hand sign in the direction of "pancakes") pancakes!
And delicious (hand sign in the direction of "cakes") cakes!
And fun, and together we clap our hands (everyone clap).
The long-awaited oil week has come,
And no one will count how much we ate.
We ate (hand sign) pancakes!
And (hand sign) cakes!
And now let's spin around ourselves a little (everyone spins).
Around songs, dances, laughter, noisy festivities,
Every house appreciated the effort-effort,
There are (hand sign) pancakes on the table!
And next to it (hand sign) cakes!
To get more into us - we jump on the leg (everyone jumps).
Another circle around you (everyone is spinning)
And clap your hands (everyone clap)

Fun related to drawing

Maslenitsa symbols can be played with in creative tasks related to drawing. For example, you can use the following options:

"Sun". The sun without rays is drawn on each of the two sheets of drawing paper. Preschoolers are divided into teams, each becomes about 5 meters from their drawing, one yellow marker is issued. On a signal, the guys run to their sheets one by one and draw the rays (each participant depicts one ray). The team that finishes first will win.
"Bake your own pancake." Just a creative challenge with no competition. Each preschooler is given a frying pan cut out of black cardboard, to which a yellow circle is glued - the silhouette of a pancake. The child must draw (with pencils or felt-tip pens) his own exclusive pancake. At the end of creativity, all pancakes are hung out for everyone to see.

The sun on the drawing paper needs to be made unusual, funny

"Pancake quiz" for parents

So that parents (if they are present at the holiday) do not get bored, you should involve them in dancing, and also offer a special “pancake quiz”. Each question has 4 possible answers:

Video: Maslenitsa holiday in kindergarten (parents are present, a lot of round dance games)

Video: a holiday in the kindergarten "Wide Shrovetide" in the middle group (held in the music room, games, dances, songs and fun are shown)

The bright and cheerful Maslenitsa always warms and unites both children and adults. Kids from kindergarten should be instilled with a good tradition of celebrating this holiday cheerfully. A variety of games and fun can be offered to children both outdoors and indoors. The main thing is to focus on the national color and the main symbols of Maslenitsa.

This is an old Russian game that children love. Children stand in a circle, hold hands. The leader is in the center, and the players walk in a circle and sing the words:

And uncle Tryphon
There were seven children
seven sons
They didn't drink, they didn't eat,
They looked at each other.
Together they did like me!

At the last words, everyone begins to repeat his gestures. The one who repeated the movements best of all becomes the new leader, and the old leader turns into an ordinary player.

Game "Burners (Burn, burn bright)"

Players stand in pairs one after another. Ahead of everyone at a distance of two steps is the "leader" - the burner. The players chant the words:

Burn, burn bright
To not go out.
Stay down,
Look in the field
Trumpeters are going there
Yes, they eat kalachi.
Look at the sky
The stars are burning
Cranes shout:
Goo, goo, run away.
One, two, do not crow,
And run like fire!

After the last words, the children standing in the last pair run from two sides along the column. The burner tries to stain one of them. If the running players managed to take each other's hands before the burner stains one of them, then they stand in front of the first pair, and the burner burns again. The game is repeated. If the burner succeeds in spotting one of the runners in a pair, then he stands with him in front of the entire column, and the one who was left without a pair burns.

Game rules:
The burner must not look back. He catches up with fleeing players as soon as they run past him.

Game "Geese and geese"

This is an old folk game. In almost every country in the world, it is known by different names. The rules of the game are very simple: all players stand in a circle facing the center. From the side of the back, the leader walks behind them and each, touching the back, gives the name "goose" or "goose". If he touches the player and calls him "goose", then the player stands still, but if he calls the player "goose", then the player leaves his place and tries to run around the whole circle of those gathered and take his place. The difficulty is that the leader also runs around the circle, but runs in the opposite direction, and as a result, either the player or the leader takes the free place. The one who is left without a place becomes the leader, and the game is repeated.

Game "Wolf in the ditch"

For the game, you will need to draw two parallel lines at a distance of 1-1.5 meters from each other, there will be a moat between these lines. A driver sits in a moat - a wolf. The participants of the game stand on one side of the moat. At the signal of the driver, the participants jump over the ditch. The wolf at this time tries to catch them, but he cannot come out of the ditch. All those who step into the ditch or who are caught by the wolf become helpers of the wolf and try to catch the rest of the participants.

Hot and cold game

This game is a variation of the usual hide and seek. Only in this case, two people are selected - "leaders", and the remaining guys are hiding. One of the two "leaders" from the very beginning closes his eyes and counts to thirty, and the second looks at who is hiding where. When the first "leader" opens his eyes and starts looking for the rest of the guys, the second tells him: if one of those hiding is close to the first "leader", he says "hot", and if far away, then "cold". The most interesting thing is when there are several guys next to the first "leader" at once, then the second "leader" can inadvertently confuse his colleague.

Game "Give a handkerchief of sympathy"

A gate with an inclined crossbar is installed on the site, on which colored handkerchiefs are hung on thin threads, at different heights. Competitors need to run up, jump up and tear off one of the handkerchiefs, and then name the girl and give her the torn handkerchief.

Game "Snow shooting range"

In the winter town, you can install permanent targets for throwing snowballs. It is best if these are wooden shields meter by meter in size with concentric circles drawn on them with a diameter of 30, 60 and 90 cm. The shields can be installed on poles dug into the ground, hung on a blank wall or on a fence. Probably, it is worth making a special wall of the shooting gallery, on which you can put targets, their guys will shoot down with snowballs.

Tug of war game

Everyone knows this traditional Russian fun. Let it be not quite traditional on Maslenitsa. Preparation - as in the usual tug of war, but the teams take it, standing with their backs to each other.
