20 ideas for a children's birthday party at the dacha. Enjoy!

Goodbye 33 square meters! Long live freedom and dacha spaces. Children born in the spring-summer period are still incredibly lucky. And their parents too. Still, setting a children's holiday table in winter and summer, as they say, are two big differences.

And there are so many things you can do outside the city! There are a lot of ideas for children's entertainment and birthday games on the Internet... We know how much moms and dads don't like to worry about summer season.

Rocking bench for little guests

There is no need to grunt snobbishly when you recognize this product as a good old car tire. You probably don’t know what to do with them, and these are not the best shopping times. You will need: a couple of boards, paint and skillful daddy's hands.

My sandbox is my fortress

A tire, sand, some paint and a beach umbrella. This will be a place of power at a party for the little ones.

Angry bowling for kids

We fill plastic bottles with water, which we tint with gouache or any other non-toxic paint. In any toy store you will find a ball with the corresponding image. Ball in play!

Ball darts

We make holes in a plywood board or thick cardboard into which we insert inflated balloons. Darts donated earlier will probably be found in the attic. Squeaking, squealing, noise and uproar are guaranteed at this party.

Eco-wigwam

This design should be taken care of in advance, but this chill-out zone long-term use. You build a frame of sticks, plant it with seedlings of bindweed or some other creeping ivy, and watch the growth together with your beloved child. At the same time, cross out the days before the holiday on the calendar.

Spiderman Wigwam

If the birthday boy’s mother is a needlewoman, the house is probably full of all sorts of unfinished balls. You build a frame, as in the previous example, and in a friendly round dance you wrap the skin of the tipi.

Fun car wash

We line up garden waterers in an enfilade in the yard and hang them with sponges, rags and even fly swatters, new ones of course. The main thing is that the weather matches.

Twister on the lawn

Cut out a stencil from any cardboard and take non-toxic paint in a can. You will need branded twister colors: red, yellow, blue, green. It doesn't hurt the lawn and the kids have fun.

Treasure Hunt

In the sandbox, if there is one, we bury “treasures”, Barbie beads and other children’s “Swarovskis”; messages can be put in bottles. We hand out shovels and watch how Golden fever ruins the children. If there is no sandbox, the same can be done by pouring sand into a bucket, clean, of course, and not from the pile that the neighbor’s cat and dog shit in.

Can Basketball

Collecting by area cans different sizes, they can be decorated. We hang them on the crossbar and give them balls or substitute balls. The kids are sober, they should succeed.

Obstacle course

We find vertical supports on the site and wrap them with ropes. We call the exercise “Children in the Grid”.

foam snake

You will need a plastic bottle without a bottom, a sock, an eraser, soapy liquid and food paints. We put the sock on the bottle, fasten it, pour in a little soap solution, and lightly color the sock. And for such a fool we give it to each party participant. The longest and thickest bubble snake wins.

Mexican fun in the Moscow region

Pinatas is a Mexican traditional game where children use a stick to break a papier-mâché or clay donkey figurine filled with sweets. It’s quite difficult to build one yourself, so we offer a modified version of pinatas for summer holiday. Take it Balloons, fill them with water and hang them on a tree. Please have towels available for all participants. They don't come out of this game unscathed.

Sabantui's birthday

Another traditional entertainment - running with an egg can be transformed into running with a water-filled ball. You will need wooden spoons, balls and water.

Tic-tac-toe from the Stone Age

We are recruiting suitable shape cobblestones, decorate them with crosses and toes, and you can take tiles as a base square shape.

The donut is hanging - you can’t eat it

Don't forget about the treat. it is understood that the children are fed normal food at the common table, and no one will overeat on sweets. We string fresh donuts onto a rope, stretch them, and see what the little savages are willing to do for glucose.

Caught a fish!

We tie gelatin worms and other bait to breadsticks. Little fishermen will be very happy.

Dig up a bloodworm

Another fishing-themed treat. We take several packs of chocolate cookies and finely crumble them, scatter them into glasses and stick in gelatin worms. Checking little guests for disgust.

Glowing bowling

Parents have rave culture to thank for this invention. We buy neon sticks at any store that sells party supplies, stuff them into plastic bottles and fill them with water for weight. Everyone is invited to night bowling.

Last movie show

Here you will most likely need the help of the audience, that is, friends, if you do not have your own projector and you still consider this a relic of the 70s. There are now a lot of them, modern and friendly to ordinary home computers. Having obtained a projector, prepare the cinema hall. A white sheet, warm blankets, any of Disney's grandfather's creations and popcorn are a worthy end to a good holiday.

Want to receive one interesting unread article per day?

To be honest, holding such a holiday is quite difficult. Firstly, having found themselves on a picnic, the last thing children want to do is play in an organized manner - everyone has their own interesting thing. Secondly, organizing a children's party in nature requires certain physical characteristics. For example, a loud voice :-).

If you still decide to gather guests for a picnic and plan entertainment program, without having the temperament of a clown and the skills of an experienced animator, use my selection of competitions.

I chose only those games and competitions in nature that are easiest to organize (most of them can be carried out with a number of participants from 4 people).

There are only 20 ideas so far, but I plan to add more interesting competitions in nature in this article, so over time there will be many more!

Throwers and throwers :)

I like this competition for its simplicity and objectivity in identifying the winner. It's easy to determine who hit the target large quantity once.

Options:

1. At a distance of 10 child steps, hit a tree trunk with a cone. Each person has, say, 10 attempts.
2. Use a stick to knock down some structure made of dry twigs (let's call it a “forest bast”).
3. Place an empty pan (basin, bucket) at a distance of several steps. We compete in accuracy by throwing small rubber balls, toys or the same cones. If there is no empty container, we simply look for a hole in the ground.
4. Tie the rope to a horizontal tree branch so that its end reaches the ground. We tie a small bag with a ball (cones, toys) to the lower end of the rope, as long as it is some kind of harmless “weight”. The players take the “weight” in their hands and move a few steps to the side. You need to shoot down objects standing at some distance from the center. Here is the drawing.
5. Another variant of the previous game. You need to choose a leader who will swing the “pendulum”, and things (bottles, juice boxes, sticks, pebbles, toys) need to be folded in the center. Players need to run up and pick up the item before the “pendulum” returns.
6. Make a fishing rod. Tie a rope with a weight at the end to a 1.5-2 meter stick. With this weight you need to knock down small objects at a distance slightly greater than the length of the stick, swinging the rope.

Catch-up games

Bear

Lay out the toys, pots, bags and things that you brought for a picnic in the clearing. Place a bear in the center of this composition, at a distance of 5-7 steps, draw a line on the ground, behind which there will be a “house”. The presenter shouts: “The bear has woken up!” Children must save property and put it behind the line, and the bear can only catch the one who has nothing in his hands (at the moment when the child returns for things from the safe line). The one who collects the most things wins. And the player who finds himself in the bear’s clutches becomes a bear.

Catch-up “Short Legs”

Participants in the game will need to catch up and run away with an empty plastic bottle held between their knees.

Paints

The players line up. The presenter turns away and moves away 5 steps.

- Knock Knock?
- Who's there?
- I don’t know myself.
- Why did you come?
- For paint.
- For which one?
- For the blue one!

Everyone who has this color on their clothes holds on to this color with their hands and remains in place, the rest run away from the leader. The one who was caught drives next.

Fights

Balloon fight

This game will be fun in nature. Tie small balls to the players' right ankle (a rope no more than 30 cm). Only 2 players participate in the duel. Hands are not involved, they need to be clasped behind your back. The winner is the one who manages to burst the winner's balloon with his foot. The one who wins gets a new opponent with a ball on his leg. This continues until one player remains with a whole ball on his leg.

Knight Tournament

If you have a relatively flat and not thick log, you can fight with long thin balls. The winner must stand on the beam.

Comic games

Game "Steam Train with Obstacles"

Stage 1 of the game.

Between the trees at a height of 30-40 cm, stretch the rope in zigzags. All participants of the holiday stand in the train one after another, holding the waist. To the music, the first player begins to move in small steps, choosing a difficult route. You need to step over a rope, walk around a tree, and so on. It's just fun, especially if there are more than five participants.

Stage 2 of the game.

One of the players is taken aside and tightly blindfolded with a scarf. At this time, the rope needs to be removed and brought to the beginning of the route. And now the presenter tells you how to raise your leg, how many steps to take, where to turn. The player follows the commands, thinking that the rope remains in place and diligently overcomes non-existent obstacles. Try it, it's fun!

Relay races:

Shashlik

Best suited for an autumn picnic as it requires fallen leaves. As usual, we divide the children into teams. We collect leaves in advance. Determine the running distance (no more than 6-7 meters). At the end of the route, provide each team with a skewer (a stick on which to string a leaf). The player runs, strings the piece of paper onto a stick, and returns to the team. The winner is the team that, naturally, will have the most luxurious kebab by the time the funny children's song ends.

Jerboa

A distance of 5-7 meters and back must be overcome by holding the ball tightly between your knees. At the same time, you can take cones, nuts or small pebbles into the “mink”. The winning team is revealed again at the end of the song.

Ember

We divide the children into two teams. We collect small pebbles or cones according to the number of participants. Small juice boxes will also work. You need to not just run and put a coal in the fire, but move, throwing the object slightly upward. This is a coal, it burns your hands! The team that finishes its fire the fastest wins.

Firefighters

A game for hot weather. A member of each team has empty disposable cups. Teams need to be lined up with their right side to the direction of movement.

The last player in the line must have a full glass of water. On command, he pours water into his neighbor’s empty glass as carefully as possible, runs and becomes the first (necessarily next to the previous participant). It is the turn of the one who now has a full glass of water. He also pours it over to his neighbor. This is how you need to get to your goal. The team with the most water left at the end of the relay wins.

On the Zavalinka

Everyone was running around, tired. We sat down on a log...

Time for sedentary games and competitions, which, by the way, are also very fun.

Conductor-trainer

The host divides the guests into groups (if there are few children, each gets a separate role). Let frogs, cows, dogs, cats, pigs, ducks, bees, sheep, and so on appear at your holiday.

They will have to sing a song for the birthday boy to the melody of “ Happy Birthday to You." First, everyone sings a line. The conductor points with his baton, and...

Kva-kva-kva-kva woof-woof

Oink-oink-oink-oink meow-meow

Quack-quack-quack-quack zhu-zhu-zhu

Mu-mu-mu-mu beee-beee….

And now all together!

The main thing is that there are no other vacationers nearby, since the choir turns out to be very solemn :-).

The fairy tale has come to life

Let's take the simplest children's fairy tale. All guests get roles. Those who lack the main characters become trees, sun, clouds, wind.

“Masha and the Bear” is best suited for the forest. Just think about who you will give the role of the stump, because a bear will sit on it!

Crocodile on a picnic

One of the participants gestures to show some item needed in nature, the rest guess. Matches, firewood, barbecue meat, a thermos, a backpack and a pump look fun in this pantomime.

Scarecrow garden

The warm season always contributes to holding holidays not indoors, but outdoors. fresh air. Ideally, this could be a recreation center or someone's dacha. But most economical option There is always a trip to the forest or to the water. Nature is especially relevant for city residents and children who suffer from a lack of space to run and scream loudly.

So we decided to celebrate our son’s important day in a large area and organized it outdoors, which took place at the end of May. We systematized all actions for preparing and holding holidays in detail. Birthday script for children.

1. Preparing for the holiday.

a) Discuss the number of guests in advance with the birthday person and invite them to the celebration. Separately, discuss time, clothing, food (if there are allergies or illnesses) with the children’s parents.
b) Think through the scenario.
c) Choose a place. Go or go in advance and find an open clearing that is both in the sun and in the shade. Bumps, holes, water are not desirable. Remove the trash in advance too. Determine the location of the fire, table, playing area and rain awning.
d) Arrange transport.
e) Consider the option of replacing or postponing the holiday in case of heavy rain.

g) Take with you to child guests:
Panama hats.
Replacement socks, T-shirts.
From mosquitoes.
Shoes: sneakers.
Raincoats, if available.

2. Scenario for a birthday party in nature.

a) Arrival at the site.

b) Acquaintance. Introduce adults, introduce children.

c) Safety precautions. This is the most important point in organizing any children's party. It is especially important for nature or if the action takes place near a body of water.
At the signal from the presenter (a whistle was specially purchased for such purposes), everyone should be near him.
Don't climb into the bushes!
Determine a place for the toilet.
Be in sight. Don't go anywhere without permission. If you want to go for a walk, do it only with adults.

d) Familiarization with the holiday routine.

e) Children are playing in the clearing, and adults are preparing for competitions. For organization festive table older guests can also be involved.

e) Preparation for competitions.
All competitions are held in 2 stages. First, relay races for two teams and their arrangement in 2 rows. At a certain distance, sufficient for running, place a bucket for the team. They will run around them. Then one team stands opposite the other and a series of competitions are held. You can finish with a sword fight from balloons.
Divide into 2 teams.
Captain's choice.
Name the teams.
Each team is assigned one adult.
Rules for everyone: do not shout at the same time, speak to the point, raise your hand and the commander has the last word.
Let's line up and begin.

and)
1. Relay race. Run with the stick and pass it to the next player. Prepare: 2 sticks.

2. Assemble fires according to the diagrams. Fold the prepared logs different schemes bonfires Prepare: logs.

Homemade equipment will be described in detail in the following. Now we’ll just list it: large pants made of fabric for relay races, throwing comets, swords made of balloons, balloons with a ball and stilts.

4. Conduct report children's day birth in nature.

There were a lot of impressions and words cannot convey the whole storm of feelings. All the children were delighted and even now, after three weeks, when they meet, they remember how interesting it was for them at Lesha’s birthday.

The holiday was held for 10 children. Transport included one car and one minibus. Among the adults – father Yura and two mothers. Since the main organizer, Mom Lena, was at home with a fever, the entire burden fell on Dad’s shoulders. He managed it and proudly says that he spent children's day birth in nature.

The children ate mainly cold cuts and sandwiches with sausage. Homemade boiled pork, freshly fried whites, boiled eggs and potatoes with ribs from the fire did not impress them. Fruits, cookies and birthday cake ate with pleasure. Yes, and the juice and water also went wrong.

The prizes included a notebook, a rubber jumper, big candy, a small bag and a slimy slime (this is the kind of mass that is thrown at smooth surface, then she lags behind her, leaving no trace). All of them were packed in a bag, newspapers and hidden in big box with the inscription treasure. The children found her after earning clues in the trunk of the car. They opened, disassembled and divided like real pirates. This division reminded me. This is another confirmation that people behave unpredictably at the most exciting moments. From experience, we will say that in such situations it is dangerous to give a shovel to search for treasure.

Almost all the planned competitions were held and the children were always busy with something. The departure time was at 13.00, and the arrival was at 17.30. Later, after analyzing, we thought that we needed to add another 2 hours next time for a freer and less fussy pastime.

Our dad said that for children it is possible to simply take them out into nature with sports equipment, as we described in for adults. For a friendly company there is a hoop, and jump ropes, and balls, and badminton, and kite and much more - a great help for have fun. But still, we should not forget that children who are organized and “loaded” with tasks are more obedient and collected. Free walking can lead to conflicts. True, this does not apply to everyone.

I also plan to use this outdoor birthday scenario for my son's classmates. That is, take the whole class out and hold relay races with them and their parents.

After all of the above, it is worth saying that you should not be afraid of organizing such holidays. You just need to start doing it and attract as many people as possible. This could be the parents of the guests or the children themselves. Distribute tasks and part of the work will be done. Even mosquitoes and midges will be afraid of such a professional organization and will not interfere with the holiday. If you want to relax with a group overnight, you can read the article.

So, dear readers, we wish you more determination and good company! And then the holiday is guaranteed.
Good luck!

Elena and Yuri Bredyuk

Experienced parents admit that holding a holiday outside the home, into which children's birthday competitions will fit organically - in nature, at the dacha, camp site, etc. - is quite not an easy task.

Firstly, finding themselves unconstrained by the confines of the room, the last thing children want to do is play in an organized manner: everyone has their own interesting activity.

Secondly, active birthday competitions require certain skills and abilities from their organizer: temperamental characteristics, minimal knowledge of child psychology, theatrical abilities, and a loud voice.

So, if on the eve of your child’s name day you are lost in the variety of disparate information presented on the World Wide Web, use the following selection of time-tested games and entertainment that can be successfully spent on a picnic, by the water, and so on.

Birthday at the dacha - competitions

"Duel with balls": To right leg Players need to tie balloons with small strings around their ankles. Two players participate in one match. Your hands need to be clasped behind your back. The children's task is to burst the opponent's balloon using their feet. The winner is joined by a new opponent, also with a ball on his ankle. The game continues until there is only one winner left.

"Save from the bear": arrange the toys, pots, cutlery, bags and other things you brought for the picnic in a circle. Place a child in the center of the circle, who will play the role of a formidable and dangerous bear. At some distance from him, draw a line beyond which he will not be allowed to go. When the "bear" wakes up, the children should start saving their things and moving them over the line. The “bear” at this time can grab children who at that moment have nothing in their hands, that is, at the time when the children return to the dividing line for things. Thus, the child who was caught can become a bear. The winner of the competition is the player who managed to collect greatest number things and at the same time not fall into the clutches of the insidious “Mikhail Potapych”.

“Uglyochki”: divide the guys into teams based on the total number of players. Give the task - to collect leaves, cones and pebbles, which will act as coals. The next task: run to the fire with a “coal” in your hands, rhythmically throwing it into the air (after all, it’s hot), without dropping it. The winner is the team that can put all its coals into the fire faster than others.

“Put out the fire”: divide the children into teams, line them up and give each player a disposable cup.

Give the last child in the line a glass filled with water. This player’s task: carefully pour water into his neighbor’s empty glass, run to the beginning of the line and stand number one in it. The next player, who now has a glass of water in his hands, pours it over to his neighbor. And so - along the chain. The team that has the most water in its glasses at the end of the relay wins."Crocodile in the forest": Divide the children into two groups. Choose two volunteers from each team. Their task: with gestures, without words, to depict an object that may be within summer cottage

. Each volunteer's team must guess the name of this thing. The images of an axe, a log, matches, a fire, a rake and the like look funny. Gather two small piles of leaves in advance. Divide the guys into teams and give each one a shapmur or a thin but strong twig. Determine your running distance. Explain the task to the children: you turn on the music while it plays, one player from each team must run to his pile of leaves, take one leaf and string it on a skewer, then return to his own.

The winner will be the team that manages to collect more leaves on a skewer while the music is playing than the other.

Animal Chorus: Divide the children into groups. One group of guys will be frogs, the second will be goats, the third will be dogs, the fourth will be mice, and the like. Voice the task: the “animals” need to sing the song “Happy Birthday to You” in honor of the birthday boy, using only knowledge of how this or that animal “talks”.

Outdoor birthday contests

“Tight Elevator”: divide the children into teams, each with two players participating in the competition at a time. The guys stand in pairs with their backs to each other, while leaning forward a little. Place a raw egg between the players' backs (in the free space).

If children are afraid of getting dirty, you can use small tennis or rubber balls to play. Explain the task to the children: you need to carefully lower the egg to the ground without breaking it or helping yourself with your hands. The pair of players who cope with this difficult task wins. At the end of the game, the number of pairs from each team that managed not to break the egg is counted. This team becomes the winner. "Compote": two teams are required for the competition. Give the children a tablespoon and a small apple. Determine your running distance. The players' task: put the apple in a spoon, clamp it with your teeth and bring it to the pan.“Scarecrow”: prepare two sticks connected with a cross in advance. Divide the children into teams and give them these sticks. Explain the task: from available materials: garbage bags, bucket, cutlery,

"Zigzags": between the trees at a low height, stretch the rope in zigzags. Divide the children into two teams. The first group of guys plays first. When she finishes, the second one starts playing. The task of those participating in the competition is to carefully, without damaging the rope, follow the given route to the music and get to its final point. The winner is the team that completed this task faster and better.

"Jerboas": divide the children into teams. Explain the task: you need to walk from the starting point to the finish line, holding a ball between your knees. The task is complicated by the fact that each “jerboa” of each team has a hole into which he must carry a certain number of cones, leaves and small pebbles.

"Gift for the birthday boy": children are divided into teams. Each participant is given scissors and colored paper. The children’s task: cut out from paper those items that they would like to give to the hero of the occasion. At this time, the birthday boy should sit aside and not look at his friends. Next, he is blindfolded and invited to approach the thread, which is attached to the branches between two trees.

“Gifts” hang on a thread, which the birthday boy must cut with scissors to the approving cries of those present. The “souvenir” that will be the first to be in the hands of the hero of the occasion will appear in his possession in the near future. The winning team is determined by the souvenir belonging to one or another team."Name the plant":

Divide the children into teams. Determine the finish and start. The task of the competitors is to gallop on one leg to the finish line, go back and pass the baton to the next member of their team. He, having accepted it, must come up with and name a plant with a certain given letter."Tree of Fun":

Tie ropes of identical length to the trunks of two trees of the same thickness. Divide the children into teams, choose one participant from each of them. Their task is to run around trees and wrap ropes around the trunks. The team whose member does this faster gets a point. And so on until the bitter end. At the end of the competition, points are counted and summed up to determine the winning team.

"Baba Yaga": children are divided into two groups. Each team is given a bucket and broom. The task of the competition participants is to stand in the bucket with one foot, the other on the ground, take the bucket by the handle with one hand, and hold the broom with the other. Thus, each participant must reach the second member of his team and pass the baton to him. The team that completed the task faster wins.

"Portrait of an Artist": one participant in the competition stands near the tree with his back to the other players. They, in turn, choose someone who will draw a little man’s face on the back of the player who is standing by the tree. When the nose is completed, the driver is informed about this, he must immediately turn around and voice a specific task. Next, he tries to guess which of the guys drew on his back. If he guesses correctly, the task is carried out by the “artist”, and if not, then he himself. “Chicken Ryaba”: the participants of the game sit in a circle. "Grandfather" is selected. He sits with his back to the other players. The children are given rubber ball- this will be an egg, it must be passed from hand to hand as quickly as possible. The egg is passed while the music plays.

As soon as she stops, all the “chickens” fall into the grass, hiding their hands. The "grandfather's" task is to guess which chicken has the egg in its hands. If you guess right, she changes places with the driver and becomes a “grandfather,” if not, the game simply continues.

"The Crazy Doctor": A player is chosen to be a doctor, tired of all the people and suddenly going crazy. He should start chasing his own patients. If a doctor touches a patient’s leg while running, he must no longer step on it; if he touches a patient’s arm, he must no longer lift it or wave it. Only normal doctors are able to cure patients, who must be able to reach the crippled ones and at the same time not fall into the hands of their stunned colleague.

“Balloon”: draw a line near which the contestants will need to get on all fours. Before each of them you need to put Exactly ten minutes are allotted for the competition. It is necessary to select no more than five people to participate and blindfold them. Then you need to scatter tennis balls across the clearing. Children are given baskets. The children's task is to temporarily collect as many balls as possible into their baskets with their eyes closed. The winner is the one who has the most balls at the end.

“Ready for a hike”: divide the children into teams, give each a backpack, a set of dishes and a box of matches. Then line up the children in a row, place a backpack in front of the first participant, and fifteen meters from him - dishes and matches. Each team player is given a task: one by one, run to things, take one item, run from your own, put it in a backpack and touch the next competitor with your hand in order to pass the baton. At the end of the game, you need to count the number of things in the backpack, evaluate the speed of the teams’ running and the accuracy of placing objects, for which points are awarded. At the end they are counted and the winning team is chosen.

"Swamp hummocks": Divide the children into teams and give each a rubber mat. You can get by with newspapers or bags, but rugs are more convenient and practical for this game. One player from each team participates at a time, that is, children compete in pairs. At the start, the guys stand on one mat and hold the second in their hands. The ground is a swamp, you can’t step on it, the rugs are swamp hummocks. The players’ task: to reach the finish line over the “bumps” - put a mat in front of you, stand on it, put the one you are holding in your hands next to it, and stand on it and so on in an interesting way reach the designated goal. A point is awarded to the team whose member reaches the finish line faster than the opponent. If during the game the child stumbles and stands on the ground, a point is automatically awarded to the opposing team.
