Their street walk turns into mindless staggering or destructive behavior (sadistic animal experiments, fights). This is due to the fact that children do not know street games, they communicate more often in social networks, but when they meet they cannot organize their leisure time. We offer a variety of games and competitions for children 10 years old.

Games at school

Even in the lobby during the school recess, you can play the following games.

• "Bunny, bunny, what time is it?" The leader (hare) stands with his back to the players. Everyone in turn asks the time and adds: “I’m in a hurry for my birthday!” The hare calls any time. The player measures the steps (an hour is a big step, a minute is a simple step, a second is the length of the foot). For example, three hours, five minutes, three seconds means three large and five regular steps, three foot lengths (one and a half steps). Whoever reaches the hare first, touches it, takes its place. Everything starts over. This event diversifies children's competitions for the study of time and consolidates the terms.
• "Ring, ring, come out on the porch." Players stand or sit in a row with their arms extended forward (palms tightly closed in a boat). The host takes a “ring” (any small detail), which he must quietly place it from his “boat” into the player’s palm. He can pretend to put the ring in the player, hesitating. Then the host stands in the middle and asks the participant to leave with a ring. The task of the players is to catch the one with the ring. You can't hold hands. If the participant with the ring manages to jump out of the row without being caught, then he becomes the leader. If he is caught, then the game continues with the old leader.
• Sea battle. Participants draw a field (10x10 cells, indicated on the left by numbers, on top by letters) with one-, two-, three-, four-deck ships. The player calls the number and letter of the cell. Getting into the ship, continues the game; having missed, passes the move to the opponent. At the same time, he specifies whether he "killed" or "wounded."

road games

Such mobile thematic games will allow you to quickly consolidate the knowledge gained and diversify any school scenarios for children's competitions. They are especially relevant at extracurricular activities dedicated to the rules of the road.

Popular games

Classics of the genre

On the street during school breaks, children prefer a variety of classics.

• Ordinary digital. Draw hopscotch up to ten. The player's task is to throw a pebble into the cell with a number, skip the hopscotch and pick up the chip on the way back. Crossing the lines is prohibited. As soon as the first level (from one to ten) is completed, the game starts with the next number (from two, three, four, etc.). A player who enters the line or does not hit the desired cell with a pebble passes the turn to another. The player who completes the most levels wins. To get a pebble into the cells with the number "nine" and "ten", it is allowed to step on the first square. And you can jump on them with a running start, also jumping on the first number. Sports competitions for elementary school children are not complete without classics, which are sewn from cellophane or fabric.
• Round digital. Draw a large circle, mark a small circle in it, from which you draw radii. Write numbers. The essence of the game is similar to the previous one. Jump from one number to another until you stand in the center. Jump difference. In the first variant, you jump alternately on one or the other leg. In the same game, you jump on two adjacent numbers. Then, when moving to another number, the left leg should be in the air. That is, the right one from the first digit goes to two, the left one is in the air, and then drops to three. The essence of the game is that you need to jump quickly and not step over the lines. Such warm-up games will add laughter and fun to intellectual contests for children 10 years old. The numbers can be replaced with thematic images.
• Verbal. Any version of the classics with a "roof" is drawn. Desires are written in each column (house, cottage, car, child, husband, voucher, etc.), “fire” is written on the roof. The player stands with his back to the line and throws a pebble, looks at what wealth has fallen, jumps and takes the chip on the way back. You can not go beyond the lines of the classics. If you fall into the "fire", then all wealth is burned. The richest one wins. Children after the first game can adjust the rules themselves, modifying them to suit their abilities.

Rope games

Popular games are rubber bands, skipping ropes. Both participants put on an elastic band on their legs. The third player jumps over it. After completing all the steps, it moves to a new level. To do this, the elastic band from the ankle is raised ten centimeters higher. This happens until the player gets tangled in the rubber band, makes a mistake or stumbles. Then the turn passes to another participant.

• Rose, birch. The host stands in the center of the circle, holds one edge of the rope, starts to twist it and says: “Rose, birch, lily, poppy, porridge, chamomile, scarlet flower” until some player stumbles. The one on which the word stopped is out of the game. Titles are initially distributed among the participants. Whoever is left wins. He becomes the leader. It is useful to “dilute” calm, intellectual or “sedentary” competitions at the birthday party of a 10-year-old child with these games.
• Salochki. Two players twist the rope, the third participant must jump and not hit it. Teachers use it in competitions, complicating the task. For example, while jumping, read a poem, sing or tell the multiplication table.
• Damn. Two people hold the rope at the level of the participant's chest. The player must pass without touching anything. Each time the rope is lowered lower and lower. The player who touches the line is out.

These children's competitions and games are suitable for home and school. They can be modified, added, altered to suit your subject or event.

ball games

Collective games

Competitions for children 10 years old with balloons

• Tyr. Players are divided into two teams. The balls are hung at different heights. Whoever damages the balls more with darts wins.
• Wish. A note with a wish is put into the balloons, inflated. Participants take turns choosing a balloon, popping it and completing the task.
• Children's drawing competition. It is necessary for a certain time to draw a butterfly, a dragonfly, a mosquito on a ball. The best image is chosen by the audience.
• Centipede. Players are divided into teams, stand one after another, pinching balls between themselves. The task of centipedes is to reach the finish line, take strawberries and come back. The winner is the “unbroken” team.
• Alyonushka. For a while, players from different teams must tie a scarf around the ball and draw a face. You can draw parts of the face on paper, cut out, prepare hair and other attributes that you stick on the ball with tape.
• Greedy. These are funny contests for children 10 years old. The essence of the players is to collect more balloons in a certain time. To complicate the task, the threads are cut off the balloons, or you stick double-sided tape on the participant, and he must stick the balloons without hands.
• Running with obstacles. The ball is clamped with knees or ankles and go to the finish line, completing more tasks along the way.
• Puncture. A ball is tied to the feet of the players. You need to jump on the opponent's ball and burst it. The winner is the one with the whole ball.

Unusual contests

There are a lot of children's games. This does not require expensive attributes. For example, a twister can be drawn on the grass, a bowling alley can be made from plastic bottles and a ball, cards can be drawn on cardboard. The main thing is to think over the theme of the event, as well as alternate intellectual, calm and outdoor games. Then the participation of children in competitions will be more active.

Also, teenagers like to participate in games that are shown on TV (“Field of Miracles”, “Guess the Melody”, “Star Hour”, “One Hundred to One”). Questions are prepared according to the training course with additional information on the subject. When choosing games, you need to take into account the interests of adolescents. You can ask the leaders to help organize the event.

Competitions for children 11 years old. Happy parents' day - the birth of a small miracle, your baby. And now your baby is twelve years old. Of course, he is already an adult, a new period begins in his life - a transitional age. How to organize a holiday, what contests to choose, all this and much more you will find in our article.

Perhaps some entertainment for adults will open the door to the children's world, where they will remember their happy childhood with pleasure, and plunge into it with a cheerful company of their child's friends.

Remember the safety of your children. Some competitions have high mobility, in order to prevent injuries to children, you need to free at least one room from furniture with sharp corners and glassware. Or, as much as possible, clear the room where the competitions will be held.

Ideas for competitions, games. Choose for yourself the best, suitable.

An interesting game that captivates even the most adults.

What will be required:

Draw a lake with chalk, or lay out a string along the contour.

Fishing rods are magnetic.

We play. We break into teams. Each team has its own lake, and the same amount of fish. The first player with a fishing rod runs for fast fishing - catches a fish - runs back - gives the fishing rod, we keep the fish. The victory is for those who catch all the fish the fastest.

Bowling

Simple and popular game. Use bottles with sand or water (pour half full, one third will be enough).

Each participant can be given several approaches, we count how many pins were knocked down (either in the individual competition or in the team competition). We reward the most accurate.

Dead eye

In this game, you can use, if you have, a ring toss. Even the most passive kids play this game, especially for the promised prize 🙂

If you do not have such equipment, you can make it yourself from improvised materials.

Difficult dances

For such dances, we need ropes or an elastic band. We pull one rope approximately to a height of 1 meter, and the second - 50 centimeters from the floor. Make a small distance between them. Task: to the incendiary music, you need to step over the lower rope, and under the upper one, bend down and pass without touching. You can go around the circle several times.

For the third time, we blindfold several participants and ask them to do the same actions. We quietly remove the ropes and have fun watching how our dancers try.

Yes, dear adults, this may not be interesting to you, but some children at the age of 11 can wrap themselves in toilet paper for the first time. Let's have some fun!

And with toilet paper, you can conduct a kind of test for greed. Pass the roll of paper in a circle, the task for the children is to tear off the squares as much as they want. Well, you can come up with a task (after everything is torn off), for example, by the number of squares, say wishes to the birthday man, hug with your neighbor, here how much imagination is enough.

"Titanic"

We will need a basin or a bucket of water. Fill halfway enough. We distribute a single-use cup to everyone. Our glass is the Titanic. Pour a little water into a glass to keep it afloat, and put it in the middle of the container.

Task: take turns adding water to your ship. Whoever drowned the boat, he lost. We play until the winner, whoever wins, he receives the title of Super-Captain, and you can end up eating icebergs - ice cream.

Prepare 10 balloons for the game. We divide into 2 teams. Give each team 5 balls. For fun, turn on the music or use the whistle. It is necessary to transfer as many balls as possible to the opponent's side. As soon as the music stops or the whistle sounds, STOP the game! We count the balls, on whose side there are fewer - that winning team.

"Potato and spoon"

Prepare two chairs, two spoons and two plates.

Put a chair, an empty plate on the chair. Put raw potatoes in the room and a spoonful for each team.

The task is simple: the first in the team, on command, runs with a spoon containing potatoes, runs to a chair and puts it in an empty plate. Returns with a spoon and gives it to the next participant. The victory is awarded to the team who first transfers all the potatoes.

Looking for a surprise

The number of participants is unlimited. To begin with, the facilitators should prepare 8-10 notes. On the notes in order, we indicate where the next clue is located. All notes are in the apartment. Post your notes in a visible location. You can divide by color, for some red, for others yellow, green, etc. Then you will avoid the accumulation of all in one place. Plan your route ahead of time. You can start everything from one place: the corridor, and from there everyone will go different ways. Most likely everyone will run, as the competition is similar to the competitive one.

At the signal, the game begins. Prepare a sweet surprise so that everyone has enough.

1. Corridor

While you were all yawning, your surprise was stolen.

You will find me in the place where everyone eats together. (kitchen)

1. Kitchen

We have been waiting for you for a long time, but you did not come running

Now look for me where you see a horse. (for example, a picture with a horse that hangs in the hall).

Your surprise is gone

where the road can be seen without difficulty (balcony, it is better to stick a note on the balcony door).

Make the final station in the place where the sweet table is, where you can immediately give out a sweet prize and drink a drink.

The tenth birthday is a very special event in a series of personal holidays. This is the first anniversary, and many families try to celebrate it on a larger scale than previous dates.

Often the celebration is transferred from home to other places:

• cafe,
• a park,
• country hut,
• Entertainment Center,
• sport Club.

Any place that looks not only attractive to the daughter, but prestigious in the eyes of her friends will do. You may have already noticed how painfully lately the girl accepts the opinions of others. She began adolescence, full of contradictions and the search for her own individuality. The daughter stops following your advice, wants to do everything in her own way, as if contrary to parental opinion, regardless of costs and common sense. Be wise: try to behave in such a way as not to spoil the holiday for yourself or her. Don't impose your opinion. Organize a party in an original way, but consult with your daughter. Let her feel like a real princess - you simply cannot imagine a better gift at this age.

If you decide to spend the birthday of a girl of 10 years old at home, then here are the ideas of several contests that will make it interesting. Be sure to discuss them in advance: the daughter may have her own ideas, and they need to be taken into account.

Children's competition "Fanta"

The game, known to our great-grandmothers, however, is still loved. It works especially well in companies where there are a lot of creative artistic people. In a large hat, fold the sheets of tasks (sing in honor of the birthday girl, compose a quatrain on a given topic, crow or meow a famous melody, etc.). We recommend discussing the wording with your daughter: this way you will be sure that none of them will hurt her inadvertently (at this age there are many exaggerated experiences). In addition, she knows the invitees and their talents better.

During the game, you can make all the "numbers" unaddressed, or you can perform them in honor of the birthday girl. She, as a rule, draws out each phantom or calls the name of the guest for whom he is drawn by someone else. If at the end of the game a winner is determined (the one whose performance will please the hero of the occasion the most), it turns into a competition. In this case, do not forget to prepare a prize.

Competition "Portrait of a birthday girl"

This competition is suitable for any girl company, because it combines what teenage girls love so much: drawing, make-up, modeling. The task is to create a portrait of the birthday girl using a sheet of paper, pencils (paints), glue stick, dresses cut out from magazines, hairstyles and other fashionable things. The winner will be the guest whose work the birthday girl likes the most.

Competition "Stylists-Makeup Artists"

The competition is not similar to the previous one, but completely humorous, and you need to treat it that way. All participants are divided into pairs: each has a client and a make-up artist. The peculiarity is that the master's tools are watercolor paints and brushes for drawing. Whoever makes the most original and funny make-up will win. Don't forget to capture the results in a photo or video!

Competition "Colorful Fifteen"

Remember that at the age of 11, a girl is still a child (even if she herself does not agree with this), which means that her birthday cannot do without live sports competitions to run and laugh to her heart's content. One of these competitions is the game of multi-colored tags. The host sets the color for the search: "One-two-three, red (blue / yellow) find." On this command, each participant must find an object of the desired color in the room and touch it. The one who did not find the item he was looking for, or the one who found it last, is eliminated, and everyone else moves on to the next round. The winner will be determined naturally. In this competition, children will have to show not only dexterity and speed of movement, but also mental dexterity (after all, an object of a given color can be in a hard-to-reach place, for example, on the ceiling - how to get to it?).

From the proposed competitions, stop at those that, by their nature and inclinations, are suitable for your daughter and her friends. Do not be afraid to obey her choice: let her feel like the main one - after all, this is her day.
