Summary of GCD for FEMP in the second junior group
The outdoor game “Day-Night” in kindergarten has been known for several generations, but interest in it does not fade. A simple plot and unusual tasks will allow kids to frolic with virtually no restrictions. Children of primary preschool and school age show interest in the game.
The benefits of the children's game "Day-Night"
Boys and girls need a release of emotions so that they do not bubble up inside and then burst out with a bad mood or resentment. The outdoor game “Day-Night” in kindergarten unites the team with a common idea and activity. Everyone is having fun, joking, jumping and running. Such frivolous actions relax children and relieve tension from tense muscles.
How to prepare for the Day-Night game
There are no difficult moments in preparing the Day-Night game in kindergarten. Any open area, clearing, even a playroom will do. No suits or comfortable sportswear needed. You just need to establish a good creative mood in a group of kids and start the game with a smile on your face.
What precautions should be taken into account
Remind children not to push, push, or offend participants in the Day-Night game in kindergarten. It is better to select a site with a smooth and safe surface. It should be spacious. 
Rules of the children's game "Day-Night"
A driver is selected from the circle of participants. The rest are distributed around the site and prepare to listen to the tasks. Kids alternately hear the words, “day”, then “night”, and behave accordingly. They play, have fun, if the daylight hours are called, and freeze, as if they were sleeping at night. The driver, having called the word “night,” begins to walk along the rows and observes whether everyone is “sleeping.” And if anyone moved or laughed, he lost. According to the rules, the Day-Night game in kindergarten requires that the loser become the driver. And so the whole action happens in a circle. It’s interesting to watch kids when “day” reigns. They dance, imitate the behavior of adults, and simply make faces. And how difficult it is for them to freeze when they hear the word “night”.

Poem about playing ball at recess(written by Svetlana Vetryakova specifically for the site)
To have fun playing
You need to pump up the ball.
And the boys and girls
The ball will be hit loudly.
Real athletes
They will run for recess.
They will jump and jump
And catch up with each other.
We will inflate the ball deftly
You just need to have the skill.
Press harder
Run away quickly!
Various games with the ball
We'll definitely start.
And in “Frog” and “Dog”,
In “Rucheek”, and in “Fast Ball”.
I reached the turn,
Rolled out of the gate.
Jumped over the yard
He escaped through the fence.
Spins quickly and flies!
Who will catch him now?
Hurry up and catch up
And tell your neighbor.
Multi-colored bright ball
Jumps briskly without hesitation.
Stop running, have fun,
We need to go study!
We inflated a huge ball,
We played and relaxed.
It's time for us to go back to class
We have classes there.

Outdoor games while walking
When walking with children in kindergarten or after-school activities in elementary school, the teacher needs to keep the children occupied with something: an excellent solution is to organize outdoor games while walking. First, the teacher introduces the children to various games, and later the children themselves, dividing into groups, will be able to decide which game they want to play. Outdoor games have a beneficial effect on the development of the child's body and strengthening the immune system. And the time of the walk flies by.
Before starting the game, the teacher needs to pay attention to the condition of the playing field: are there any unnecessary objects, splinters and anything else that could interfere with children’s play and create a dangerous environment - unfortunately, you can find them not only on the street, but also on the playground of a school or kindergarten a lot of trash.

The teacher blows the whistle again, and train movement resumes.

At the command of the presenter, for example, “Day!” the team with the appropriate name begins to catch up. Children from the “night” team must have time to run beyond the conditional line before their opponents have time to stain them. The team that manages to stain the most players from the opposing team wins.
