Preschool children 4-5 years old will enjoy playing not only outdoor games, but also those that require thinking. It is recommended that the emphasis in games be on developing observation, memorization, logic, imagination and speech skills, and in outdoor games - on improving coordination, speed, dexterity and attentiveness.
Here are some suitable games:
- Cat and mouse
Active game. Develops agility, speed, and attentiveness. Can be successfully performed among a group of different ages. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
There are two variants of this game.
First. All but three players join hands and stand in an open circle. There is a “mouse” and two “cats” running around inside. The "cats" must catch up with the mouse, but it's not so easy, because... she can calmly run between the players in a circle, but they cannot. Afterwards, all three of them stand in a circle and new cat and mouse are selected.
Second option. In one corner there is a cat’s house, in another there is a mouse hole, in the third there is a pantry where small objects representing supplies are located. The cat falls asleep in the house, and the mice run from the hole to the pantry. When the presenter claps (or after the words of the rhyme), the cat wakes up and begins to catch mice that are trying to run to the hole. At first, the cat is played by one of the adults, who pretends to catch it, but allows the mice to escape. You can add verbal accompaniment to the game:
The cat guards the mice
Pretended to be asleep.
Now he hears - the mice have come out,
Slowly, closer, closer,
They are crawling out of all the cracks.
Scratch - scratch! Catch it quickly!
- Carousels
A calm and active round dance game. Develops coordination and synchronization of movements, dexterity, and attentiveness. Ability to control the power of your voice. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The presenter and the children stand in a circle and everyone begins to slowly and quietly say the text:
Barely, barely
The carousels began to spin.
(At the same time, the players begin to move slowly in a circle)
And then, then, then
Everybody run, run, run.
(Both the tempo and strength of the voice increases, at the same time the speed of movement increases. The players start running) The next part is pronounced with a decrease in the tempo and strength of the voice:
Hush hush! Do not hurry!
Stop the carousel!
(With these words everyone stops).
- Kangaroo
Active game. Develops dexterity and speed in movements. Can be successfully performed among a group of different ages. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Two teams compete. Holding a matchbox (or similar object) between your feet, you need to jump like a kangaroo to the opposite wall (or chair), stop and say loudly: “I am a kangaroo!” (this statement is also assessed by the presenter). Then you need to jump back and pass the box to your teammate. The winning team will receive prizes.

Quiet game. Develops attention, logic, the ability to combine objects into groups and select generalizing words. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

It’s good if the distance from the rope to the hedgehogs is 10 meters. The team whose hedgehog bristles better wins, i.e. which will have more clothespins - needles.

To keep children entertained during bad weather, there are plenty of fun indoor games that will lift children's spirits and leave them with happy memories.
Indoor games
"Snowball". The players sit in a circle. The first one says his name. The second says the name of the first and his name. The third names the previous two and the owl, etc. until the first one calls out everyone's names.
"Mathematics". Children sit in a circle. The teacher gives the task: “Let’s start counting in a circle. The one who has a number divisible by 3 pronounces his name instead of the number.”
"Candle". Participants in the game sit in a circle around a candle. The teacher picks up the talisman and begins introductions. “Allow me to introduce myself: Masha... Height... Weight... Volumes... Foot size... Education..." The introduction depends on the content of what the teacher wants to hear. If the goal is to learn something interesting from the children’s hobbies, then the teacher talks about his hobbies at the same age; if the goal is the content of future activities, the teacher talks about what he did in a health camp at the same age; if the goal is to understand the child’s internal state, then the teacher talks about his experiences at this age. The talisman is handed over to the narrator. The presenter sets the theme, rhythm, content, directs and regulates the flow of the game.
"Who is absent". After everyone has introduced themselves, the lights go out and one person leaves the room. Those remaining must guess who is missing and say his name.
“Shapes”. The players stand in a circle. A rope is stretched inside the circle, which everyone holds on to with their hands. The presenter explains what is needed with eyes closed, without opening your hands, build a square, equilateral triangle, a star using only oral conversations.
“Animal Voices”. Children are divided into pairs, choosing the voice of an animal. Then they go their separate ways different sides premises and with the lights off, they are faced with the task of finding a partner based on the voice of the chosen animal.
“Guess what I see!” This game can be played anywhere and everywhere: it relieves boredom and gives pleasure. And it works best by distracting attention if Petya is quarreling with Anya again or Kolya is sadly huddled in a corner.
Start like this:
You: I see something red that you don't see!
Child: Hearts on the curtains?
Him: The cover of Tanya’s book?
Him: Oleg’s hat?
Him: Is there a candy wrapper on the table?
Believe me, this can continue indefinitely!
“A story without adjectives”. Participants are divided into groups of 4 people. Each group receives the task of writing a story on some topic in 10-15 minutes (“How I was getting ready for the camp”, “Our journey to the camp”, etc.). But at the same time, empty spaces should be left in the story instead of adjective definitions. Then the groups get together and take turns writing into their stories adjectives that are randomly spoken to them by representatives of other groups. These adjectives can be funny (but not offensive). The finished stories are read out and the funniest, most original work is determined. Game duration is 40-50 minutes.
“Guess the song (poems)”. A group of guys are playing. The driver is identified and moves out of earshot. The guys select a song or poem, from which an ode line or verse is selected. For example, the line Pushkin's poem: "I remember wonderful moment, you appeared before me...” All the guys sitting in a circle take one word from this line. The driver returns and begins interviewing the guys. He can ask any questions, the most awkward ones, to everyone in turn or separately, such as “What is your attitude towards salted cabbage?”, and the person answering must use the word given to him: “I have a wonderful attitude towards cabbage!”
“Konachko”(end-beginning-end). You can play with two, three, two teams or in a circle. Words must be selected in such a way that the last syllable of the first word serves as the beginning of the second: HAND-HOOD-THRESHOLD, etc. the one who hesitates is eliminated from the game. You can individually create chains on a specific topic. The one whose chain is longer wins.
"Nonsense" Two players, secretly from the other players, agree on a topic on which they will communicate through non-verbal means. They start a conversation. Eyewitnesses, having guessed what is being said, join the conversation. When everyone is involved in the game, starting with the last person to connect, they begin to find out the subject of communication - how they understood the topic of the conversation and what information they conveyed.
“Walking down the street”. All players are assigned numbers. No. 1 begins: “There were 4 crocodiles walking down the street,” No. 4 replies: “Why 4?”, No. 1: “How many?”, No. 4: “And 8.” No. 8 comes into play: “Why 8?”, No. 4: “And how much?”, No. 8: “And 5!” etc. if anyone makes a mistake or hesitates, he gives a forfeit. Collected forfeits at the end of the game
are being played out.
"Guess who". The one who starts chooses one of the players and describes him like this: He is small, cheerful and dark-haired. Everyone looks at each other. Maybe it's Rita, Tanya or Kostya? If no one can guess, the description can be clarified: this man is wearing black patent leather shoes, a red sweater and a hair clip in his hair. Now, of course, it is clear to everyone that this is Yulia.
“Fumbled Banana” Children sit in a circle. Everyone has something hidden under their shirt. One of the children tries to guess by touch what is there. The game becomes more interesting if the rule applies: do not immediately name the guessed objects, but feel everything that is hidden and only then name who has what is hidden.
“Clothes Exchange”. Children sit in a circle and carefully look at each other’s clothes, trying to remember them. Then one of them goes out the door, and several players exchange parts of clothing. The presenter enters and tries to determine who is wearing other people’s things and who they belong to. It will immediately catch your eye if the boy Sasha puts on Anya’s skirt. It's not so noticeable when you change socks.
“Attention, he’s coming!” Children stand in a circle as close to each other as possible. They pass from hand to hand soft toy or some other item while the music is playing. Everyone tries to get rid of this item as soon as possible. As soon as the music stops, the one who has the toy in his hands leaves the game.
"Present". The players sit in a semicircle and choose a driver, then invite him to go out for a while. Each player prepares a gift for himself: a knife, pencil, coin, pin, etc. The driver's name is. He goes around everyone and tries to remember who has what item. Then he comes out a second time, and the players collect all the things in one place. They call the driver again and offer him to give out gifts to whomever he wants. If the driver distributes gifts correctly. They choose a new driver; If he makes a mistake, repeat it a third time. After the third time, a new driver is chosen.
“Snapshot”. The presenter places several objects on the table (pencil, box, paper clip, knife, etc.) and covers them with a sheet of paper. Then he calls the players. When everyone is ready, he lifts the sheet covering the items for 3-5 minutes and closes it again. It is suggested that everyone write down what objects they saw. Then they check the correctness of memorization. The one who remembers more than others and without mistakes wins.
"What changed?". 10-15 postcards are laid out on the table. The players are asked to remember the location of several postcards within 1-2 minutes. When everyone looks at it a second time, it is suggested that they say what movements were made. The winner is the one who indicates everything correctly (or larger number) changes.
“Hands on the table!”. The players are divided into two equal groups and sit on both sides of the table. One group receives some small object: a coin, a button, an elastic band - and begins to pass it under the table. Suddenly, one of the players from the other group loudly says: “Hands on the table!” Immediately the entire group passing the item should place both hands on the table, palms down. Someone must have an object under their palm. The second group must guess who has it, and only one guesses, consulting with his comrades. If he guesses correctly, the item goes to his group. Then the whole group begins to pass the item under the table, and the first group guesses who has it. If they don’t guess correctly, then the first group keeps the item and they win a point. This is how they play until the agreed number of winning points.
“A fun game of spoons” Prepare one less spoon than the participants in the game. Have the participants of the game squat in a circle with their hands behind their backs. Place spoons in the middle in a circle (one less than the players in the game). The presenter tells a story that might start something like this:
Once upon a time there lived a family. Their last name was Lozhkins...
When children hear the word “spoon,” they should grab one of the spoons as quickly as possible. The one who does not get a spoon is eliminated from the game. Then the spoons are put back in their original place and the game continues. Do not forget to put one spoon aside, and then the story continues:
One Sunday, the Lozhkins decided to go somewhere for lunch with the whole family. Everyone dressed smartly, only little Oleg did not want to part with his pajamas. “If you don’t get dressed immediately, you’ll get a spoon in the forehead!” - Dad said, angry. But Oleg stubbornly stood his ground. The grandmother said: “And after lunch, you and I will eat ice cream with small spoons,” and persuaded her grandson. Oleg changed clothes and everyone got into the car. The cafe was called “Golden Spoon”. Everything there was very beautiful, and the waiters behaved unusually respectably. At one of the tables sat a fat lady with a red dog, and opposite her was a thin gentleman, her husband, who was licking his spoon. “Look, dear,” he said to the fat lady, seeing how the Lozhkin family sat down at the table. - it’s amazing how many children there are - and only one dog!” The food was served. Just as dad was about to pour mom a glass of wine, Mopsy the dog pulled the tablecloth. The chaos came out great. Plates, forks, knives, glasses and spoons flew to the floor. A terribly excited waiter came running. He calmed down only after Papa Lozhkin paid for everything. The Lozhkin family had to leave the cafe. They went straight to the tent where they sold sausages and ate the fried sausages, which were very tasty. Only the pug didn’t get anything: he had to just watch as punishment.
Instead of spoons, you can play with other objects, for example, chestnuts, plushies, cubes, etc. It is only important that they are at the same distance from the children. Children should always keep their hands behind their backs and handle each other carefully. Carefully. And inventing a story is not at all so difficult. It may well be long, but it will definitely be interesting and fun.

Description: Two presenters are selected. One of them will be the catcher, the other will be the fugitive. All remaining participants are divided into pairs and join hands, creating something like a basket. The players scatter in different directions, and the leaders separate; the catcher tries to catch up with the fugitive. The fugitive must run between the pairs. The baskets should not catch the fugitive, and for this he calls the names of the participants in the basket to which he runs up.
- Game "Hit and Run"
Objectives: to develop in children the ability to perform actions on a signal.
Description: The teacher is in the center of the circle. Throws the ball to the child and says his name. This kid catches the ball and throws it back to the adult. When the adult throws the ball up, all children must run to “their” place. The adult's task is to try to hit the fleeing children.
In this article we have presented 29 outdoor games with detailed description game rules. We hope that this material will help organize children’s games at school during recess and physical education lessons, during walks in preschool educational institutions and public schools.

Multi-colored ball
The teacher reads the lines of a poem by V. Suslov.
Multi-colored ball
Jumps along the path
Along the path, along the path,
From birch to aspen,
From the aspen tree turn -
Straight to Ira
To the garden!
The players throw balloon(ball) in a circle. The person who receives the ball knocks it off the floor, after which everyone runs away, and the driver tries to “smear” the running participants of the game with the ball. The player who was hit by the ball again invites everyone into the circle and throws the ball to any player. The ball is passed around the circle again.
Rain
The teacher invites the players to sit freely in the classroom. Then he explains the conditions of the game, after which he recites poems by I. Tokmakova.
Rain, rain, drop,
Water Saber,
I cut a puddle, I cut a puddle,
Cut, cut, did not cut.
And he got tired and stopped!
Everyone performs voluntary movements. With the last word “stopped,” all movements stop and the participants in the game freeze. The presenter, passing by them, notices the one who moved. He leaves the game.
Again, the presenter and a group of guys who have dropped out of the game recite a poem. It sounds loud and cheerful, but not very fast. Movements can be very diverse, but while standing still. At the end of the game, the host marks those who performed the most beautiful or difficult movements. It is possible to reward the “most persistent” participant in the game.
Merry ax
This game can be played both outdoors and indoors. The guys stand in a circle, holding their hands behind their backs. The leader, passing behind the players, hides a small object from any player - a “small hatchet”. Then everyone together (or the leader) recite the text of I. Demyanov’s poem. One of the players who fell on last words(but preferably not the one with whom the object is hidden) goes to look for an axe.
Egor took an ax in the corner,
I went into the yard with an ax,
Egor began to repair the fence,
Yegor lost his axe.
So he is still looking.
Look for an ax too!
Triangular cap
The game develops attentiveness and coordination of movements. The players are randomly placed in a circle in the classroom. The presenter explains the conditions of the game, then says the words:
My cap is triangular,
My triangular cap.
And if the cap is triangular,
This is not my cap.
Repeating the words a second time, players show a triangle of fingers on the word “triangular”. Next, in addition to showing the triangle, the players should lightly hit themselves in the chest on the word “my”. Then, pointing the triangle towards themselves, the players must touch their heads on the word “cap”. In the future, everyone playing together with the leader pronounces the words and performs all 3 actions. The words are repeated faster and faster with each repetition. Those who are confused leave the game and only repeat the words. The one who doesn't go astray wins.
Be careful!
The game stimulates attention, promotes learning, quick and accurate response to sound signals.
The guys stand in a group, freely, but at arm's length from each other. March music (or any rhythmic) sounds. Children march to music and may perform dance moves.
In this case, the game director randomly gives commands at different intervals. Children must implement movements in accordance with the command.
For example:
"Bunnies!" Children jump, imitating the movements of a hare.
"Horses!" Children hit the floor with their feet.
"Crayfish!" The children back away.
"Birds!" Children run with their arms outstretched (imitating the flight of birds).
"Heron!" They stand on one leg.
"Frog!" They squat and jump in a squat position.
"Doggies!" Children bend their arms (imitating the movement when a “dog serves”) and bark.
“Chickens!” Children walk around, “look for grains” on the floor and say “Ko-ko-ko.”
“Cows!” Children stand on their hands and feet and say “Moo-moo!”
The game can last 20-25 minutes. At the end of the game, the teacher marks the most attentive.
Gawkers
The game promotes the development of volitional (voluntary) attention.
Children walk in a circle one after another, holding hands. Musical accompaniment at march tempo is possible. At the leader’s signal, the players stop, clap 4 times, turn 180° and begin moving in the other direction. The direction changes after each signal. If the child gets confused and makes a mistake, he leaves the game.
These are the poses!
The game can be used to develop observation and memory, it will contribute to the development of children's relaxedness and their communication abilities.
At the request of the children, five players are selected from the group. One of them is the driver, the rest are spectators. Children show the driver “their poses.” He goes around the children and remembers their poses. Then the children go into the hall and sit on chairs, and the driver repeats the poses in the sequence in which he saw them.
The “spectators” shout whether the pose is repeated correctly or not. If incorrect, one of the “spectators” (optional) goes “on stage” and repeats the pose.
The game is repeated 2-3 times until everyone is sure that the poses are shown correctly.
Mysterious proverbs
This game helps develop speech junior schoolchildren, logical thinking, introduces to the origins of oral folk art.
The teacher offers simple proverbs. The guys must explain what it means, what is the meaning behind it, and why it arose in people’s everyday life.

Every master in his own way.
