Outdoor play in winter brings great happiness to children and brings invaluable benefits to their health. Entertainment enriches the content of walks, increases their duration.
There are countless winter games and fun: sledding, skiing, snowballing and others. And with the help of shovels, scoops, you can build real palaces out of snow.
Molding
Sculpting snowmen is very simple, but sculpting complex figures, such as dogs, is already more interesting. You can mold whatever your heart desires from snow. The main thing is that the snow is sticky and wet that day. It is necessary to tell the child that snow is the same modeling material as clay. Snow balls are easy to connect with sticks. You can show your child how to attach the figures with "snow glue" by sprinkling with water.
Winter Games
Friends of Santa Claus
The game cannot be played without a paddle and snow. Therefore, you need to acquire this inventory, and there is already snow. You can tell the kids that in winter Santa Claus is very happy when everything is covered with snow. He dresses the trees in snow coats to keep them from freezing. And the children should be offered to help Santa Claus to sprinkle snow on all the trees, grass, small bushes left in the winter without "snow clothes".
Sleigh Relay
Teams must line up at a distance of ten meters from the finish line. Each member of both teams holds a colored flag in his hands. One participant must sit on the sled on his knees, and the second participant must carry him to the final stop, where they must change places and go back. The children of the team that will quickly return to their original place will win.
Sharp snipers
You need to put a colored cube or other object on a large snowball. Give the children a task: knock down a cube with a snowball. If there are a lot of children on a walk, then more blocks should be placed. Sharp snipers are awarded with a sweet prize.
Snow bouncers
For this game, you need to prepare snowballs and put them in any container. A “bouncer” is selected according to the counting-out, which puts snowballs near him. Other participants draw their territory, beyond which they cannot go. The presenter stands 3 meters away from the players and tries to knock everyone out, while the others dodge the snow "bullet".
The biggest lump
Children need to be divided into teams, each with 2 people. The task is given: to roll a snowball in 10 minutes. At the beginning of the game and at the end, a certain signal is given, according to which everyone starts rolling balls together and everyone ends at the same time. The clods are compared and the winning team is determined.
