The game of the horse is attractive in that it can be played by one or several participants at once. Players can set and change the rules of the game as the action progresses, because there are many options for playing a horse.
Necessary
Hockey stick, sock, thread, buttons, scissors, needle, string, cotton wool, ribbon
Instructions
Step 1
If the number of players is limited to one and only one, then he himself will be a horse. To do this, he needs to jump and jump on two legs, then on four and shout "yoke-go!" You can clatter your tongue to imitate the clatter of hooves. When the horse gets tired, it can go to a watering hole or go to bed, because horses sleep lying down.
Step 2
If the player does not want to become a horse, let him become a horseman. Then he will have to find a horse for himself or make it with his own hands. To do this, pull a large sock over the club, stuff it with cotton, tie it with a string so that the cotton does not fall out, sew a mane from threads and eyes from buttons. The player sits on such a horse astride and gallops, emitting a horse neighing and clattering with his tongue. Instead of a homemade horse, you can use a simple long stick.
Step 3
If there are two players, let them take turns to be a horse, then a rider. The horse gets on all fours, the rider sits on its back, the horse is lucky. But the rider does not have to sit astride the horse. He can take a rope, tape or belt, intercept the second player with it under his armpits and use such a device as a bridle.
Step 4
Play out several situations between the rider and the horse: the horse has carried it, the horse is stubborn, the horse is sick, the horse needs to be forged a horseshoe, the horse is hungry or thirsty, the horse has injured its leg, the horse is unnerved and ran away, it is necessary to catch and saddle it, etc.
Step 5
If an adult is playing with the children, let him tell the kids something about horses. You can play that this is not a simple horse, but a heavy draft, a pony or a racehorse. The horse can run in different ways: trot, gallop, amble, etc. It can be of different breeds and be colored in different ways. She can perform at the circus or plow in the field.
Step 6
If there are a lot of players, play a herd of horses. Let everyone run and frolic like horses in a meadow. Someone alone may be a shepherd, whom the horses must obey.
