Competitions for children on the street in summer

In summer, children usually spend a lot of time outdoors. This is useful for their health, and parents at this time can calmly do their own thing. But just running and jumping babies bores pretty quickly, so they often find themselves quite dangerous entertainment. To prevent this, organize in the summer for your child and his friends interesting competitions for children on the street. Thus, you not only take care of the child's physical development, but also develop sharpness and ingenuity.

How to have fun with children in the summer?

If your children are tired of going off the hill, riding a swing or just scurrying with each other, invite them to test their strength in the following competitions:

1. "Chuh-chuh". Divide the children into teams, all of which should line up. Each child puts his right hand on the shoulder of a friend standing in front, and simultaneously raises his left leg. The left hand should hold on to the foot in front of the standing one. The team that, in this position, and not breaking the chain, jumps to the finish line, is considered the winner.
2. "Snails." This is one of the best contests for children on the street in the summer, as it develops skill. For him, you should take a few large cardboard boxes, cut out the bottom in them and make holes in the wall for viewing. Participants cover themselves from above with boxes and crawl to the finish, trying not to lose their "shell". The winner is the one who made it first.
3. "Freedom to parrots." For this contest, pull a rope around 4 trees at a height of about a meter from the ground. Children become the center of such an improvised ring, dividing into teams. Their task is to get out of the "cage" without hitting the rope. But it is necessary to do this just above the rope, and not crawling under it. Boys can help girls by picking them up on their hands. It is also possible to try to jump over a barrier or climb up trees and descend on them from the other side of the rope. This is one of the most fun contests for children on the street in the summer. The "parrots" team wins, the whole team successfully out of the cage.
4. "Hamster and a seed". Players form a circle in the center of which is the leader, that is, the "hamster". Children throw each other a ball - "grain", and the leader tries to touch the participant, whom he is now in the hands. If the "hamster" succeeds, it becomes the place of the losing participant.
5. "Forest Lilliputians." If you are interested in exciting games and contests for children on the street in the summer, this is an excellent option that does not require the use of additional equipment. All participants should step as little steps as possible for a length not exceeding the size of the child's foot. The leader moves in exactly the same way and if he manages to catch up with one of the children and piss off, he is considered a loser and himself becomes the lead. However, if the player touched the tree, it can not be precipitated.
6. Knight of the log. Often parents do not know how to entertain children in the street in the summer, and such contests turn out to be very useful. For this game you need a stable log of sufficient width and long balloons. The participants, breaking into teams, fight, standing on a log. That team, most of whose members managed not to fall from it, is considered a winner.
7. "Merry bags". Children break into two teams and climb into big bags. Their task is to jump to the finish line, trying not to fall and as quickly as possible. The team whose members did it faster is declared the winner.
8. "Leapfrog". Children squat at a distance of about 50 cm from each other, forming a straight line. The child behind is to jump over the player in front, without falling and knocking him down. He, through whom they jumped, gets up and just as he jumps on. The winner is the kid, who jumped to the end of the line without falling.
