Fun for children 10 years old. Interesting entertainment and children's birthday contests

If you look at the children’s games, you can see that most of the children do not know how to organize their leisure time. Their walk in the street turns into mindless staggering or destructive behavior (sadistic animal experiments, fights). This is due to the fact that children do not know street games, they often communicate on social networks, but when they meet, they cannot organize their leisure time. We offer a variety of games and contests for children 10 years old.

School games

You can even play the following games in the lobby at school break.

  • "Bunny, bunny, what time is it." The leader (hare) stands with his back to the players. Each in turn asks the time and adds: "I'm in a hurry for my birthday!" The hare calls any time. The player measures the steps (an hour is a big step, a minute is a simple step, a second is a foot length). For example, three hours five minutes three seconds means three large and five regular steps, three foot lengths (one and a half steps). Whoever reaches the hare first, touches it, takes its place. It all starts all over again. This event will diversify the children's time-learning contests and reinforce the terms.
  • "Ring, ring, go out on the porch." Players stand or sit in a row with their arms outstretched forward (palms tightly closed in the boat). The presenter takes a "ring" (any small detail), which must imperceptibly lay it out of his "boat" into the player's palm. He can pretend to put the ring on the player by hesitating. Then the presenter stands in the middle and asks the participant with the ring to come out. The task of the players is to catch the one who has the ring. You can't hold hands. If the participant with the ring manages to jump out of the row uncaught, then he becomes the leader. If he is caught, then the game continues with the old leader.
  • Sea battle. Participants draw a field (10x10 cells, indicated by numbers on the left, letters on top) with one-, two-, three-, four-deck ships. The player calls the number and letter of the cell. Getting into the ship continues the game; having missed, passes the move to the opponent. At the same time, he specifies whether he "killed" or "wounded".

Road games

Such mobile thematic games will allow you to quickly consolidate the knowledge gained and diversify any school scenarios for children's competitions. They are especially relevant at extracurricular events dedicated to traffic rules.

Popular games

Classics of the genre

On the street during school breaks, children prefer a variety of classics.

  • Conventional digital. Draw classics to ten. The player's task is to throw a pebble into a cell with a number, "skip" classics and pick up a chip on the way back. Stepping behind the lines is prohibited. As soon as the first level is passed (from one to ten), the game starts from the next number (from two, three, four, etc.). The player who entered the line or did not hit the required cell with a pebble passes his turn to another. The participant who has passed the most levels wins. To get a stone into the cells with the numbers "nine" and "ten", you are allowed to step on the first square. And you can jump on them with a running start, also jumping to the first number. Sports competitions for elementary school children are not complete without classics who sew from cellophane or fabric.
  • Round digital. Draw a large circle, mark a small circle in it, from which you draw radii. Write numbers. The essence of the game is similar to the previous one. Jump from one number to another until you get to the center. The difference is in jumping. In the first version, you jump alternately on one or the other leg. In the same game, you jump on two adjacent numbers. Then, when switching to another number, the left leg should be in the air. That is, the right one goes from the first digit to a two, the left one is in the air, and then drops to a three. The essence of the game is that you need to jump quickly and not step over the lines. These warm-up games will add laughter and fun to intellectual contests for children 10 years old. The numbers can be replaced with thematic images.
  • Verbal. Any version of the classics with a "roof" is drawn. In each column, they write desires (house, dacha, car, child, husband, voucher, etc.), write "fire" on the roof. The player stands with his back to the line and throws a pebble, looks at what wealth has fallen out, jumps and takes the chip on the way back. You can't go beyond the lines of the classics. If you get into the "fire", then all the riches are burned up. The richest wins. After the first game, children can adjust the rules themselves, modifying them to suit their abilities.

Rope games

Games with rubber bands, skipping ropes are popular. An elastic band is put on by both participants on their feet. The third player jumps over it. After going through all the actions, it moves to a new level. To do this, raise the elastic from the ankle ten centimeters higher. This happens until the player gets entangled in the rubber band, makes a mistake or stumbles. Then the queue goes to another participant.

  • Rose, birch. The presenter stands in the center of the circle, holds one edge of the rope, begins to twist it and say: “Rose, birch, lily, poppy, porridge, chamomile, scarlet flower” until some player stumbles. The one on which the word stopped comes out of the game. The titles are initially assigned to the participants. The one who remains wins. He becomes the leader. It is useful to use these games to “dilute” calm, intellectual or “sedentary” contests at the birthday of a child of 10 years old.
  • Salochki. Two players twist the rope, the third participant must jump and not hit it. Educators use it in competitions, making the task more difficult. For example, jumping, reading a poem, singing, or reciting the multiplication table.
  • Damn it. Two people hold the rope at the level of the competitor's chest. The player must pass without touching anything. Each time the rope is lowered lower and lower. The player who touches the line is eliminated.

These kids' contests and games are suitable for home and school. They can be modified, added, altered to fit your subject or event.
