Active games during the day
Every day, teachers need to conduct outdoor games with children. Before breakfast, you need to let the children play on their own without distracting them. To do this, you need to take out the toys and encourage the kids to go to class. Outdoor games for preschoolers are not appropriate immediately after breakfast or any other meal. When choosing games, you need to consider the activities that came before them. For example, after lessons in drawing or the Russian language, it is necessary to offer active games in order to move more.
It is recommended to use outdoor games while walking, in the fresh air. You should only go indoors if the weather is unsuitable, such as heavy rain or wind. If the weather outside is just like this, you need to play in a large hall where there is enough space for everyone.
In the evening it is also recommended to play games, but with little mobility. Singing with round dances is good. This activity should last about 10 minutes. The most favorable time of year for playing games is, of course, summer. Since outdoor games during a walk in the summer are quite easy to implement. On hot days, it is advisable to conduct activities with moderate or low activity so that children do not overheat. And on cooler days, it is better to use games with the highest activity.
It is most difficult to play outdoor games in winter and autumn. Children usually wear warm clothes and bulky shoes, which makes their physical activity difficult. In this case, classes with simple movements that will not tire the kids are ideal.
Outdoor games in a preschool educational institution (preschool educational institution) in the fresh air and in the hall contribute to a significant increase in physical and mental abilities. Kindergarten is a place that is one of the key in shaping the views and interests of a child.
Middle and high school students
Older students will be interested in different games than primary school students. From a pedagogical point of view, it is more difficult to captivate a teenager than younger children.
This task will be easier to cope with if new games are introduced that keep up with the times. Games in nature are especially useful for schoolchildren, because ordinary walks will not provide the necessary physical activity.

High school students will also want to play an exciting game with a popular plot. Winter fun will captivate every child.

Story for the plot: President Lincoln fights werewolves. The werewolves are sitting in the fortress, the president and his assistants are in the apartment. They decide to go fight evil. The object of the struggle is a map of the city, which the werewolves keep in their fortress.
Organization of the game:
- The day before you need to make 2 fortresses at a distance of 9-10 m from each other, the height of a child.
- Teams of werewolves, Lincoln and his assistants are selected.
- Each participant marks himself with a ribbon: the werewolves are red, the wrestling team is blue.
- The werewolves take a position in their fortress, and the map is located in this fortress. Werewolf weapons: snowballs.
- The President and his team occupy the second fortress-apartment. Their weapons: a bottle of holy water (dyed rice) and snowballs.
- Lincoln jumps up so that the werewolves can see it and waves his hand, saying: “I won’t give you an easy life, but I’ll show you an example. The only way for you to save yourself is to give the card to us!”
- After this, the werewolf hunters try to run to their opponents' fortress and take the map. Werewolves are trying to break into the president's apartment.
- If a snowball hits a member of one of the teams, he is eliminated from the game for three minutes. When holy water hits a werewolf, he is knocked out for 10 minutes.
- The game ends when the president's team has captured the map, or if a third of the werewolves have entered the apartment.
Relay race
Relay races are known in every school; they are held in physical education classes. Conducting relay races improves physical fitness and strengthens the competitive spirit. General principle:
- Invite children to divide into teams.
- Form teams into columns at the starting line.
- On the command “March!” the captain runs (jumps) to the flag, touches it with his hand and returns to the team.
- Pats the next person in the column on the shoulder, who performs the same actions as the captain, and so on.
- The winner is the team whose last link returns to the starting line first.
Other games
High school students do athletics and run short distances. But still, they will play football with great pleasure. The purpose of outdoor play is not only to improve physical characteristics, but also to instill a lifelong love of sports.
Methodology for conducting active games
Children of preschool age are in most cases extremely active, and therefore there is no need to be very surprised if the child does not stand still for even a minute. They constantly run, jump, roll a ball, wrestle, and play with their peers. The child must act and play independently; for this, the teacher or teacher must create all the conditions.
The adult’s task is to direct and provide everything necessary for the play area. Firstly, you need as much free space as possible so that the child does not feel cooped up. Secondly, you need to provide all the necessary toys that promote physical activity in children.
All children are different: some like to play alone, some are too active, and some, on the contrary, are calmer. The teacher needs to consider all this and indirectly guide the game process. But you cannot do this in an authoritative and strict manner; you need to push the child to the right decision. Some need to be helped and played with, and others need to be offered a different game. The teacher should remember that almost all children in younger groups prefer to play alone. He should try to instill in children a love of playing together. It is necessary to properly organize and present the game, thereby arousing interest. This is the method of outdoor games.
