Games with and on paper

At any holiday you can hold a comic win-win lottery.

Upon entry, all guests are given a card with a number.

When the time comes to hold the lottery, the presenter, without looking, pulls out prepared bags from a large “bag of gifts” (you can even get by with plastic bags) and calls any number (you can call them in order of priority, you can do it as you come to mind, you can even from pull out another bag, also without looking, cards with numbers one by one).

In addition to the lottery, you can invite everyone to take part in other inactive games. They can be carried out when the company has already had its fill and is still reluctant to move.

Having had a good laugh at the “valuable prizes” awarded to them in the lottery, the guests will be happy to continue the fun.

And I have.

You will need: prepared phrases (you can come up with them yourself, or you can cut them out or copy them from newspapers, etc.), a small bag in which these notes are placed.

The bag is launched in a circle to the music. The one who happened to have this bag when the music was interrupted must pull out, without looking, a piece of paper and say the phrase: “And in my pants...”, then the inscription should be read. We get funny combinations, for example, “And in my pants... there is a sickle and a hammer”, “... a great conspirator”, etc.

Stories.

You will need: a large sheet of paper and a pen.

The host gives one of the guests a paper and pen and explains the rules of the game. He asks any questions, the person who currently has the paper writes some answer, folds the piece of paper so that his answer is not visible, and passes the sheet of paper and pen to his neighbor, who must answer anything to the leader’s next question etc.

Presenter's questions:

What? Who? Where? When? Why? With whom? How many? For what? About what? What? What did you do?

The presenter then reads the text out loud. For example, (who?) my neighbor (where?) in the forest (what did he do?) jumped with a parachute, (why?) because he was hungry, etc.

Application.

The presenter randomly selects an object, for example a table.

Now the players must take turns saying how it can be used. You can't repeat yourself! Since the standard options (“you can sit at it,” “do your homework,” “have lunch,” etc.) quickly run out, participants have to be creative.

The one who could not answer leaves the game. The one remaining wins.

The application of an object does not have to be good or correct from the point of view of common sense, the main thing is that it is theoretically possible.

The game can be complicated; in this case, the leader sets not one, but two objects, and the participants must come up with options for how they can be used together.

A story in words.

The presenter randomly copies some words from the book (or suggests them himself) (there should be 10–12 of them). These words are written down.

The remaining players must compose a coherent story using all the words listed. The author of the most interesting story wins.

Story from photographs.

You will need: several photographs (they can be cut out from magazines and newspapers) that depict some kind of action (quarrel, kiss, working on the computer, etc.).

All participants are given a photo (they may be repeated, but it will be more interesting if each player has their own photo). Everyone must come up with a story from their photograph.

Such an “essay” can be written not from one, but from several photographs, and in the story both pictures must be somehow connected.

Rivers, cities...

You will need: sheets of paper, pens or pencils.

All participants are given leaflets. The presenter silently, silently, lists all the letters of the alphabet in order, and someone stops him.

The presenter names the letter at which he was interrupted. All players must fill out the board as quickly as possible, choosing words that begin with the hidden letter.

The table can consist of the following columns: rivers, cities, plants, animals, names, etc. For each word found that is not found by anyone else, the player receives one point. The one with the most points is declared the winner.

What a handwriting!

You will need: markers, sheets of paper.

Participants have a felt-tip pen attached to their leg. Whoever wrote the given text on a piece of paper more legibly won.

Outdoor games

Fanta.

You will need: an opaque bag and notes with concepts, for example, “adultery,” “stormy delight,” etc.

Each player takes turns pulling out a concept from the bag, he is given time to prepare (about a minute), and he must depict this concept without words.

Cucumber.

You will need: a large cucumber, an apple or another vegetable or fruit.

A presenter is selected. The rest of the participants stand in a circle, shoulder to shoulder, with their hands all behind their backs. The leader stands in the center of the circle. The apple is passed between the participants as discreetly as possible, from hand to hand. The presenter’s task is to determine who has it. When the presenter is looking in the other direction, the one who has the apple in his hands must quietly bite off a piece and pass the apple on. The players' task is to eat the whole apple.

If the leader guesses who has it, that person becomes the leader, a new apple is taken, and the game begins again.

If the apple is eaten, and the presenter could not guess even once, then he performs some kind of forfeit (at the discretion of the other guests).

At random.

The host chooses a player, sits him on a chair, and blindfolds him (or her).

Then the host randomly points to one of the guests and asks each time: “This one?” until the player answers “yes.” This way the second player is selected.

Then they continue to ask the first one, showing an arbitrary number on their fingers: “How much?” (again until an affirmative answer is received).

Then, pointing to any parts of the second player’s body, they ask the question: “Here?”

In this way, they get the answer which of the guests, how many times and where exactly the first player should kiss.

Coin.

You will need: a coin.

They choose a leader who sits on a chair, closes his eyes and presses a coin between his lips.

The remaining players stand in a row and pass each other an object (for example, a glass). When the presenter says: “Stop!”, the one who has the transferred object in his hands must come up and pull the coin out of the leader’s lips with his lips, and then return to his place.

After this, the presenter opens his eyes and tries to guess who took his coin.

When the leader guesses, the one who pulled out the coin takes his place, and the game continues.

Chained by one chain.

You will need: several colored ribbons.

All participants stand next to the leader, who clutches the ribbons in his fist, holding them by the middle. Each player quickly grabs one end of the tape, and the leader releases them. A couple holding opposite ends of the same ribbon kisses.

Strip show.

You will need: chairs (according to the number of participants).

The chairs are placed in a circle. The participants stand behind them. The presenter turns on the music - all participants move in a circle in one direction, turns it off - they stop.

Everyone must take off some thing (item of clothing) and put it on the chair next to which he stopped. And so on up to a predetermined limit. Then the participants must dress in the same manner.

The lady sent it to you.

This is an old game. They play it together, but it can also be played with a larger number of participants.

The presenter says the following phrase: “The lady sent you a toilet, there are a hundred rubles in the toilet. Take whatever you want. Don't wear black and white. Don’t say “yes” or “no”. Will you go to the ball?

The player addressed by the presenter answers, and the game continues on its own.

The host asks the participants any questions, provoking them to answer “yes” or “no” or to choose something white or black for the ball (that is, something that is prohibited by the terms of the game). Those who fall into his traps are eliminated from the game.

Blind Man's Bluff.

You will need: a blindfold.

This game has been familiar to many since childhood, but it is still interesting to play even at an older age.

Remove unnecessary furniture from the room to avoid injury. The presenter is blindfolded, spun around, then everyone runs away. The presenter’s task is to catch one of the players and identify him by touch. If he guesses correctly, the player who was caught becomes the leader. If not, the game continues.

Bottle.

Option 1

You will need: an empty glass bottle. All guests sit in a circle, the bottle is placed on its side and spun by one of the players. When it stops, that player must kiss whoever the neck of the bottle points to.

Option 2

You will need: an empty glass bottle, notes. Write tasks in advance on small pieces of paper, for example: “Kiss three times”, “Make a compliment”, “Wish you health”, “Dance together”, etc. The notes are rolled up into tubes and placed inside the bottle. One of the players spins the bottle. When it stops, the player to whom the neck is pointed takes a note out of the bottle. The first participant must complete the task indicated in this note.

Competitions

In any company you can offer to hold some kind of competition. This can be either a thematic competition or just a practical joke.

Advertising competition.

Nowadays, there is probably no person who does not watch TV and read newspapers. But everywhere we come across advertising. There is nothing simpler - offer to hold a so-called advertising competition.

Several participants are called. The more of them there are at the very beginning, the better. The presenter tells the rules.

Each participant, in turn (to avoid confusion, line up the players in a line) must name some advertising slogan (of any company, organization, etc., for example, “Sprite - don’t let yourself dry out,” or “Always Coca-Cola ", or "Furniture salon "Victoria" - your victory over inconvenience." Any product can be advertised: products ("Bounty - a heavenly delight"), drinks ("Tea "Conversation" - created to give warmth"), cleaning products and washing powders. (“Clean – pure Tide”) This could be political (“Vote with your heart”) or social (“Call your parents”) advertising.

You need to name the slogan quickly, without wasting time on thinking. The player who is lost in thought is eliminated from the game. This continues until there is only one winner left. You can somehow symbolically reward him, for example, prepare a small poster on which you can beautifully paste clippings of the most famous slogans or company names. In the middle of the poster you can leave a place for a photograph and write next to it: “A great expert in advertising.”

Beauty contest.

To conduct this competition, you can recruit participants in advance, or you can find them directly at the party. There are two options for conducting this competition.

Option 1

Participants choose original, funny costumes and attributes and answer questions from the competition organizers.

Option 2

Women are encouraged to portray men, and men – women. Of course, everything depends on the imagination of the participants.

Men can build themselves a size seven bust (no worse than Verka Serduchka’s), put on makeup, tie all sorts of bows, miniskirts look especially erotic on hairy male legs...

Women can glue on themselves a huge mustache, a beard (made of thread), put potatoes in their trousers, you understand that it’s in the front, not the back...

Questions for participants

What do you value most in members of the opposite sex?

What would you wish for all people on Earth?

What is your favorite thing to do?

If you were to play Shapoklyak (Quasimodo) in a movie, how would you portray her/him?

Please draw your favorite fruit.

Please imagine that you are a printer (copier). Depict the following actions: you are standing idle, typing, reporting that you are out of paper, chewing on paper...

You can continue the list of questions yourself, the main thing is that they are frivolous, original, and the answers to them suggest something funny.

Competition "Hit the Target"

Anything can be used as a target: a mannequin, someone's photograph, a drawing of a naked woman, just a piece of paper. The main thing is to remember to draw a center on the target, the so-called bull’s-eye, which you should hit.

Participants are called.

They must take turns shooting prepared projectiles at the target.

You can use anything as a projectile, but it is desirable that it leaves fairly noticeable marks. These can be overripe fruits, vegetables or berries (cherries, tomatoes, strawberries). The first participant to hit the bull's eye receives a prize. As a prize, you can use the same products as for shells, but only of good quality.

Competition "Who is faster"

Several participants are selected (it is better if there are not too many of them). They must compete with each other to see who gets to the finish line faster. To complicate the task, they wear either very loose shoes (ideally, they should be five sizes larger than what the participant is wearing), or a bag that restricts movement. Make sure in advance that no one gets hurt during the game: move furniture with sharp corners away, lay a soft carpet on the floor...

Competition-game “Rope”

Two presenters are selected. They take in their hands a bright ribbon, a rope (you can get by with a jump rope) so that everyone has the end of this rope in their hands, and pull it together at the level of, for example, their heads. Rhythmic music is turned on, and the rest of the guests line up in a chain. Everyone must pass under this rope without touching it. The presenters lower the tape slightly after each player. The one of the participants who still touches the tape is eliminated. The last one left wins. You can give him a prize (at least give him the rope itself as a souvenir).

Competition "Clothing"

Option 1

You will need: a large box, various items of clothing (the funnier the better; you can use bonnets, “family” panties and very large bras, a sleeping cap (if you can find one), a huge frill, etc.

Guests stand in a circle and, to the music, begin to pass this box to each other. At the presenter’s signal (or when the music ends), the one in whose hands the box remains must pull something out of it and put it on.

At the signal from the leader, you must use your feet to push all the balls from your field into the territory of the opposing team.

Strip Club Competition

You will need: an ordinary household elastic band, cut into equal parts and sewn into rings (the resulting rings should be easy to put on and take off from a person).

All girls are called. They wear the same number of elastic bands around their waists. To the erotic melody, girls must remove these rubber bands one by one through their legs. The one who manages to do it the most sexy wins.

Competition "Eggs"

You will need: plastic bags, strings, raw eggs.

Men are called to fight. They are hung in front of plastic bags containing eggs (the quantity is chosen arbitrarily, but it should be the same for everyone). Men must, by hitting their opponents' eggs with these eggs, kill them, while trying not to break their own. The one whose eggs don't break the longest wins.

Competition "Harem"

At the signal from the leader, all women in the hall are dragged by men (two or three competitors) to their territory.

The one who has more women in his “harem” wins.

Competition "Drink Me!"

Option 1

You will need: glasses, straws.

A competition is announced to see who can suck the drink through the straw the fastest. The worst thing to do is drink tomato juice (especially thick juice).

Option 2

You will need: bottles, nipples. A competition is announced to see who can suck the drink through the pacifier the fastest. The worst thing is to suck on thin semolina.

Reasons to get together

Birthdays

Remember the words from the children's song: “Unfortunately, birthdays only come once a year!” This means that it must be celebrated in such a way that later it will not be excruciatingly painful for the melancholy and boredom that reigns during the holiday; in general, every birthday should be remembered!

Congratulation games

Postcard.

First, as usual, the hero of the occasion is congratulated. To do this, you can prepare a congratulation template in advance, in which all adjectives are omitted. The text is written on a beautiful card, leaving empty space for missing words.

On this ____________________ and ____________________ day, when so many ____________________ and ____________________ friends have gathered in this ____________________ and ____________________ hall, at this ____________________ table, we want ____________________ to congratulate our ____________________ and ____________________ birthday boy! We want ____________________ to wish him (her) ____________________ days of life, ____________________ health, ____________________ friends and ____________________ love!

May he (she) be the most ____________________ on earth, may ____________________ success and ____________________ luck accompany him in life!

Happy birthday!

Your friends.

The text of the congratulations may be different, at your discretion. The one who prepared this congratulation at the holiday itself asks all the other guests to help him with the text. Guests should name any adjectives that come to mind, the host writes them down one by one, gradually filling in all the empty spaces.

When the congratulation is ready, the presenter solemnly reads it out. The texts are very diverse, depending on the adjectives proposed at random, for example: deep, first, good, expensive, lazy, full, precious, correct, affectionate, harmful, powerful, honest, happy, rich, expensive, small, best, whole, ticklish.

This is the text we will get in the end:

On this deep and first day, when so many lazy and overweight friends have gathered in this good and expensive hall, at this precious table, we want to properly congratulate our affectionate and mischievous birthday boy! We want to powerfully wish him (her) honest days of life, happy health, rich friends and expensive love!

Let him (she) be the smallest on earth, let the best success and good luck accompany him in life!

Happy birthday!

Your ticklish friends.

Wishes.

For this congratulation you will need a fairly long rope, thread and a needle, a dark blindfold, scissors, and paper.

The rope is pulled in the room at the chest level of the birthday boy. Then all the guests present cut out from paper what they would like to wish to the hero of the occasion. It can be anything: a car, a baby doll, money, a computer, etc. The main thing is that there should be a lot of wishes, and it is better that they are not repeated. Then all these figures cut out of paper are attached with a needle and thread to a rope stretched in advance, the birthday boy is blindfolded, and he must reach the rope and randomly cut off one of his wishes (choosing a figure by touch is not allowed). What the birthday boy chose for himself at random will definitely appear in his possession this year.

Congratulations in verse.

Take a blank sheet of paper (preferably a long one) and pass it around the circle of guests. Each guest is invited to write a line of a poem (one at a time).

This greeting has two options.

Option 1. The first of the guests writes a line so that its last word is written on a separate line, then the sheet is folded so that the main text is not visible, but only the rhyme is visible, and the sheet is passed further around the circle. The next guest must write his line in rhyme, and so that this text can also be closed, and the last word can be seen.

Happy Birthday.

Congratulations,

Happiness, joy.

We have a lot of gifts.

Good love.

Then the sheet is unfolded and the entire poem is read aloud to the birthday person.

Option 2. The first line is given (the presenter can suggest it) and written on a piece of paper.

The first of the guests writes his line in rhyme, closes the entire text (folds the piece of paper) and writes another line for the next “poet”. The piece of paper is passed further around the circle. The next guest must write his line in rhyme, fold the piece of paper and offer his second line to his neighbor.

It turns out something like this:

Our dear Sveta!

Always be, winter and summer,

The red sun is brighter,

We'll all have more fun...

Undress the birthday boy.

In advance, secretly from the hero of the occasion, a full-length figure of a man is made from cardboard. It is desirable that this mannequin be as similar as possible to the birthday boy (birthday girl).

Clothes cut out of paper are put on the mannequin. Then the host plays a game: all guests are asked questions related to the hero of the day (for example, when he was born, where, favorite dish, favorite color, etc.). For each correct answer, some clothing is removed from the mannequin. In the end, the mannequin remains either completely naked or covered in intimate places with leaves with wishes (the leaves can be replaced with greeting cards).

Find a greeting.

They write a congratulation on a piece of paper in advance (preferably in verse, but not necessarily), cut it into separate lines (or phrases) and place these pieces of paper in the folds of clothing (if the birthday boy is a man, then they hide it in the girls’ clothes, and vice versa). The hero of the occasion must, amid the shouts of the guests “cold - hot,” find all the lines as quickly as possible (you can turn on some fast, rhythmic music). Then the text is folded and read aloud.

Portrait The hero of the occasion is seated so that everyone can see him. A blank piece of Whatman paper is placed next to it. Each of the guests in turn must blindfolded approach the sheet, take a pencil (or felt-tip pen) and draw some part of the birthday person’s body. Then the next participant comes up. When the portrait is finished, they put a cool congratulatory inscription on it and give it to the hero of the day.

Kisses.

Take the baby doll and run it around the guests in a circle. Each of the guests should congratulate the birthday boy, and then, declaring: “I kiss (name of the hero of the day) on (part of the body),” kiss the baby doll in the place he named. You can't repeat yourself! Of course, decent body parts quickly run out, and nothing limits the flight of imagination further...

When the doll has passed a full circle, the presenter announces: “And now everyone must kiss the birthday boy himself where he just named!”

You can try to pay off the birthday boy (if you don’t want to kiss him).

New Year

Every year everyone in the world (both children and adults) is ready to believe in a fairy tale, in a miracle. This happens in winter, when the house is filled with the smell of pine needles, snow crunches under the windows and even the stars seem to burn brighter...

Fortune telling

On Christmastide or New Year, girls can arrange real fortune-telling. Usually, with the help of fortune telling, they want to find out the name and appearance of the betrothed, or how the future family will live, or to answer the questions that torment a person. Choose any of the fortune telling below and try to look into the future. Maybe something will work out for you...

Subtle fortune telling.

Everyone present in the room takes off something. In the old days, this was usually a ring, but you can give any piece of jewelry: an earring, bracelet, beads, brooch, hairpin, etc. All these things are placed on a plate or large dish, which is covered with an opaque scarf or any other fabric. Then the fortuneteller makes a prediction (once upon a time songs were sung as predictions, but you can simply say your wishes; of course, predictions must be good, although in the old days there were divine songs that even predicted early death...), takes it out without looking , any thing and asks who it belongs to. Accordingly, the future was predicted for the owner of the item taken out.

If you don't believe in fortune telling in principle, you can turn everything into a show. To do this, you can sing pre-selected verses from famous pop songs as follow-up notes and then address them directly to the owner of the removed jewelry.

For example, the verse is sung:

“Bananas, coconuts.

Orange paradise.

You just have to want it

Maybe the stars

You just have to want it

Collect from the sky..."

Then they take out some thing without looking, ask who it belongs to, and “translate” the prediction: “An unforgettable vacation awaits you this summer!”

Fortune telling with mirrors.

Girls usually tell fortunes about their grooms. The device is placed on the table, two mirrors are placed opposite each other behind it, so that a small corridor appears to be formed between them, and two candles are placed on each side. The girl turns off the light in the room, sits down at the table, lights candles and says: “Mummer, betrothed, come have dinner with me.” Then she sits and looks in the mirror for a long time. When the face of her betrothed appears to her, she must throw the prepared scarf over the mirror.

Fortune telling with a ring.

Pour water into a glass. Take a wedding ring for fortune telling and tie a thread to it. The fortuneteller holds the end of the thread in his hands and asks a question, and then brings the ring on the thread to the glass so that it does not touch the water and watches. If the ring moves over the water in a circle to the left, then this means “yes”, to the right - “no”.

Fortune telling for children.

You can tell fortunes on any day, not only on Christmastide. A person who wants to know how many children and what gender he will have extends his left hand, palm up. The fortuneteller takes a needle and thread and holds it above his palm. If the needle moves in a circle, the first child will be a girl; if from left to right or top to bottom, the first child will be a boy. When the needle freezes, take it to the side and then bring it again. This way you can find out the gender of all other children and their estimated number. Fortune telling stops when the needle held to the palm does not move.

Fortune telling with a glass of water.

This fortune telling allows you to get answers to all questions, but only during Christmas week.

The question should be such that it can be answered “yes” or “no”.

The fortuneteller takes a glass, pours seven tablespoons of water into it (measure exactly, this is important!), asks a question (for example, will I get married this year?) and goes to bed. After that you can’t talk to anyone anymore!

In the morning, when they wake up, they check (again carefully!) how much water is in the glass. If the water has decreased, then the answer is negative, and if it has increased, the answer is positive.

Fortune telling with chicken.

If almost all previous fortune-telling is designed for one person, then this fortune-telling will amuse the whole company.

They are telling fortunes for the New Year. Any grain is scattered on the floor in the room, and then a chicken is brought into the room. If the chicken immediately begins to peck the grain, it means that the year will be nourishing and fruitful.

And if she is quietly doing some other business, wait for a hungry year, our ancestors believed.

Fortune telling with a Christmas tree.

At night, clean sheets of paper (of the same size) are laid out around the tree. Each sheet corresponds to a month of the year (accordingly, you need to put twelve sheets). In the morning they check: which piece of paper has more fallen spruce needles on it, that month will be richer and happier.

In general, they look to see how many needles have fallen off. If there is a lot, then the year as a whole will be fruitful and rich.

Fortune telling with rods.

In the evening everyone leaves the house and sticks rods into the snow. In the morning they look: those whose twigs remain standing will have a successful year; Anyone whose twig has fallen should be careful.

Fortune telling with a log.

The girls, without looking, pull out a log from the woodpile. If a girl pulls out a knotty log, it means she will be married to a rich man, if a smooth one, it means she will marry a poor one.

There was another interpretation of this fortune telling. If a girl pulls out a smooth log, it means her husband will be smooth and affectionate.

If he pulls out a knotty one, it means that the husband’s character will be quarrelsome.

Fortune telling by names.

The girls go out into the street and ask the names of the first passers-by they come across. According to legend, whatever the guy’s name is, that’s what the husband’s name will be. If a woman comes across first, it means that the future mother-in-law will have that name.

Fortune telling by shoe.

“Once on Epiphany evening the girls wondered: they took a shoe off their foot and threw it behind the gate...” We are all familiar with these lines from childhood. Indeed, such fortune telling also existed. The girl went outside, took off her shoe and threw it away. Where he points with his toe is where the girl will live after marriage.

Fortune telling with an onion.

Take an onion and cut it into 12 equal parts (according to the number of months in the year). Then each part is sprinkled with salt and left overnight. In the morning they look at which part of the salt is wet - that month will be rainy. If the salt remained dry, it means there will be no rain for a month.

Fortune telling by wax.

Place the candle fragments into a large spoon and hold the spoon over the fire until all the wax has melted. Then the melted wax is quickly poured into a prepared bowl of cold water. The future is judged by the resulting figure.

Fortune telling by shadow.

Take a large sheet of paper, crumple it up, put it on a plate and set it on fire. The plate with ashes is held so that the shadow of the resulting lump falls on the wall. The future is judged by the resulting figure.

Fortune-telling pranks

These fortune telling require preliminary preparation.

Fortune telling by cards.

This fortune telling can be done both on New Year's holidays and at any time of the year. Leaves with predictions are prepared in advance (it is advisable that these are not just cut-up notebook leaves, but cards, for example). The text of the predictions can be anything. The prediction itself may already contain a joke, or as a joke, the same phrase is written at the end of each prediction.

For example, a card may contain the following text: “Good luck awaits you in the New Year, glory will knock on your doors. Open your doors to Slava - he is a good man.” Another option is to write different predictions on all the cards and end everything the same way. For example, “In the summer, new acquaintances and amazing sex await you,” “You will receive many orders from production and amazing sex awaits you.” The funny thing is that all these predictions are read aloud by the “recipients”, and on the third or fourth wish for “amazing sex” everyone begins to fall into hysterics, of course from laughter.

Fortune telling with balloons.

So, you have already decided on the list of invitees. Buy several more balloons than the number of expected guests. Write your predictions on pieces of paper. They can contain any text, for example: “Start coming up with a name” (clearly, we are talking about the birth of a child) or “Start saving money - and then you will have a wonderful vacation at the resort.” You can come up with the text yourself or consult with friends and family. It is still advisable that as few people as possible know about this draw in advance, otherwise they will not be so interested.

Fortune telling by keychains.

Nowadays a wide variety of keychains are sold. Buy everything you can find, wrap them in gift paper and put them in one capacious bag (you can sew it yourself or use a regular bag).

At the holiday, each of the guests will have to pull out one keychain without looking, unfold it, and you will tell them what awaits the guest in the New Year.

For example, a keychain in the shape of a doll - expect a new addition to the family, an organizer - success in business awaits you, a cigarette - take care of your health, a flashlight - you will be as perspicacious as ever.

Fortune telling for the betrothed.

It is better not to reveal the secret of this fortune telling to anyone. In the company you talk about how you know how (really know how!) to predict the name of your betrothed. It can even be read on your hand. Choose a “victim” for yourself, take her hand in yours, whisper something (for mystery), then burn a few matches, roll up your sleeve to your elbow, take a handful of burnt matches and rub them into your hand. Lo and behold, the name actually appears on your hand!

Let's reveal a secret: you first write the name on your hand with soap. When you rub burnt matches, your hand turns black, but the letters written with soap remain white! Of course, in order to tell fortunes to the next person, you will first need to wash your hands. Then write the following name on dry skin. And so on until you have told fortunes to everyone who wants them, and you will have plenty of them!

Fortune telling with wishes.

For this fortune telling you will need a long rope, thread and a needle, a dark blindfold, scissors, and paper.

The rope is stretched in the room at chest level. Then all the guests present cut out from paper what they would like to wish each other in the New Year (such figures can be prepared in advance by one of those present, for example the organizer of the holiday). It can be anything: a car, a baby doll, money, a computer, etc. The main thing is that there should be a lot of wishes and they should not be repeated. Then all these figures cut out of paper are attached with a needle and thread to a rope stretched in advance, each of the guests is blindfolded in turn, and he must reach the rope and randomly cut off one of the wishes for himself (choosing a figure by touch is not allowed). What a person chose for himself at random will definitely appear to him this year.

Fortune telling on a sheet of paper.

Everyone who wants to tell fortunes is given a piece of paper and a pen. The letters are written in a column on the piece of paper:

In the second column they write:

Opposite each abbreviation in the first column, all participants write one line from the song (any), in the second column, opposite each abbreviation, they write a proverb.

When everyone has filled out their pieces of paper (it is advisable that there are not too many fortune tellers, otherwise you can get confused), the presenter deciphers the abbreviations:

GDS – one year before the wedding;

MDS – a month before the wedding;

VAT – a week before the wedding;

DDS – day before the wedding;

DS – wedding day;

DPS – the day after the wedding;

NPS – week after the wedding;

MPS – month after the wedding;

GPS – one year after the wedding;

DD is the motto of friendship;

DL – the motto of love;

DP is the motto of the bed;

JJ is the motto of life.

Most often, quite funny combinations are obtained, for example: the bed motto is “Measure twice, cut once,” the wedding day is “I got drunk,” etc.

Fortune telling with matches.

You can play a prank on one of the guests by inviting him to tell fortunes for his betrothed.

The main thing is to choose a non-offensive person so that the joke does not turn into a quarrel.

They ask the fortuneteller to take an arbitrary number of matches out of the box, break off the heads of sulfur and insert the pieces into his mouth, ears, or wherever he wants. Then they bring the “victim” to the mirror and ask: “Well, who needs you?”

Fortune telling with a cigarette.

Offer to tell someone's hand. Having chosen one of those willing, declare that you know a new way of telling fortunes along the lines of the hand using cigarette ash. Take the right hand of the person to whom you are going to tell fortunes, and gently shake off the ashes from a lit cigarette into his palm (it won’t hurt, but if you are very afraid, you can pour the already cooled ashes onto your palm). Then ask your “guinea pig” to make as many circles (clockwise) with the thumb of his left hand on his ash-covered palm as he is full years old. When the procedure is completed, with a thoughtful look, having examined the palm of the “victim”, declare: “Hmm yes... Well, I have to tell you... You are a bad ashtray!”

Fortune telling in your pocket.

Write or print out all kinds of predictions in advance (the texts of the predictions can be taken from the Book of Changes, from any other books, you can even use poetic lines), place them discreetly in the pockets of the guests, and shortly before the chimes strike (or immediately after it) invite everyone to find them at your place these predictions and read them out.

The second version of this fortune telling: when all these pieces of paper are put together, for example, in an old big hat and the guests take turns pulling them out according to the prediction. You can even play the old fashioned game and, if you have a parrot, teach it to pull out pieces of paper. Then each guest will receive a prediction from a “learned bird.”

Masquerade ball

Have you already chosen the appropriate fortune telling? Then you urgently need to organize a gala reception on the occasion of the New Year, where you can show off your knowledge.

You can organize a masquerade ball yourself, but you will have to prepare for it in advance.

First, make a guest list. Send invitations to everyone you want to see at this New Year's party (at least a couple of months in advance), specifying that this will be a masquerade, so costumes and masks are a must.

Don't forget about your suit. Don't put off sewing it for too long.

Having received answers from those invited (surely everyone won’t be able to come for a variety of reasons), start working on the menu.

It has already become a tradition to prepare salads “Olivier” and “Herring under a fur coat” for the New Year. You can support the tradition, or you can set the table in a special way.

By the way, decide where the feast will take place in advance. If you and your friends prefer restaurant food, discuss the menu with everyone invited and decide how much it will cost you. The money issue should be resolved in any case, no matter where the holiday takes place - in a cafe, restaurant, in the open air or in your apartment. Please note that the dimensions of the latter may simply not correspond to the chosen event.

Now many schools and kindergartens make their living by renting out premises for such large-scale events. It costs less than a cafe.

So, the issue of the venue has been resolved. Let's now fully understand the menu. You can cook everything yourself (though then your only desire will be to lie down somewhere in a quiet, cozy place and sleep peacefully throughout New Year’s Eve), you can hire an assistant (most often at your own peril and risk, since you don’t know her culinary abilities ), or you can equally distribute all the work between the invitees (make sure that the work is really divided equally, because preparing some incredibly complex dish is not the same as slicing bread for the table).

Start decorating the banquet hall. The easiest way to do this is if you celebrate the holiday in your own apartment, there you can do everything gradually, without rushing. If you choose a restaurant, you will not have any hassle at all; decorating the hall for the New Year is considered a matter of honor for the administrator.

If your option is a canteen (school or kindergarten), you will have to work hard.

Prepare all kinds of posters in advance, for example: “2004 is the year of the Monkey”, “Long live the New Year!”, “In the year of the Ox we wish women more bulls, men more horns!”, “So that this year we are attacked by crazy money and we We couldn’t fight them off!”, “May the New Year bring good luck!”, “May we have everything in the New Year and not have to pay anything for it!” and etc.

You can hang Christmas balls, garlands, tinsel, and rain on the walls and chandeliers. Traditionally, the main decoration of the New Year is the Christmas tree; you can make beautiful wreaths from spruce branches, put pine or spruce branches in vases, both floor and tabletop. On glass and mirrors you can draw snowflakes, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, and a bag of gifts. Moreover, it is better to draw figures with gouache, and snowflakes can be drawn with tooth powder diluted with water.

Snowflakes can be cut out in advance from paper - white, silver, gold and even colored - and also decorate the walls with them.

You can arrange a buffet table or a real feast. But remember: since you decide to do without a traditional TV during the holiday, be sure to make sure that you and your guests do not get bored. Hold a win-win lottery and all kinds of competitions. Prepare some interesting toasts.

And don't forget that you are throwing a costume party! In the old days, all those invited to the masquerade were already wearing masks, and the dancing lasted until midnight. At exactly midnight, all guests took off their masks.

You can arrange something like this. If you gather a lot of strangers or people who don’t know each other well, you can even hold a competition.

New Year's games

Recognition competition.

A large box is placed in a prominent place in the hall, with pieces of paper and pens lying nearby. Guests can come to this box and write down all the masks they recognize (for example, Fox - Alenka from apartment five, etc.). Each guest must sign their message. After midnight, when the masks are removed, you can start summing up the results. The guest who guesses the largest number of masks receives a prize.

Other competitions.

You can hold a competition for the best male and female costume, for the best couple, and choose the king and queen of the evening.

The knight must show his lady all sorts of attention, trying to do it as unnoticeably as possible (say veiled toasts in her honor, cast his vote for her when choosing the queen of the holiday, etc.). The role of the lady is to recognize her knight (or knights). In the general noise and commotion, this is not so easy to do.

After the game, you can reward the most tactful knight and the most insightful lady.

About the dignity of being a guest, having the dignity of being at festivities.

Before appearing, a multinational guest must be:

- I wash carefully, without skipping any places, I shave carefully, so as not to cause any damage to the ladies’ tenderness with vile stubble;

- half hungry and just a little drunk.

When you come to visit, familiarize yourself with the layout of the house in advance, with ease, especially noting the location of the closets, and put the information aside in that part of the mind that is less prone to guilt than others.

Consume food in moderation, so that your heavy belly does not interfere with your dancing. Drink the potion as much as your legs can hold; If they refuse, drink while sitting.

Do not offer it to someone who is lying down, so as not to choke, even if he asks. Glory to those who choked, for this death has been honorable since ancient times in Rus'.

If you don’t know what to do, rely on your wife - she is the guardian of the state’s vigil.

Place the drunk ones carefully so as not to damage them and not interfere with the dancing. Fold separately, observing the floor, otherwise when you awaken, you will not be embarrassed.

Having sensed trouble, do not panic, but quickly follow to the designated place, do not hesitate along the way and use all your strength to maintain the belly that villainously betrayed you in the fortress.

Being without a wife, or even, God willing, single, look at the ladies’ charms not with open greed, but on the sly - they notice this too, don’t hesitate. In this manner, you will respect them, and you will not be considered impudent. Use your hands, being very careful and only having received a clear sign that it is allowed, otherwise you will wear your embarrassment on your face for a long time.

Without singing there is no joy in Rus', but it begins at the master’s sign. Don’t get into a rage and listen to your neighbor - by braying alone, you become like Valaam’s donkey, and with your musicality and sweet voice, on the contrary, you will earn many praises from the guests. Remember, a lady’s heart is malleable to music.

This summer we had the opportunity to travel by train. It was then that we remembered many interesting games on paper and pen.

That is why our eldest daughter liked traveling on the train.

In this regard, today I propose to recall with you the good old games that you can play on an ordinary piece of paper. Most often it is a checkered piece of paper.

Nowadays people are not used to being bored...

After all, they have so-called gadgets! And then aunties and uncles, or girls and boys, will gather for some reason, sit in a row and each have their own gadget. And what on earth were you planning? It’s not clear :)

But if with a slight movement of your hand you take out the most ordinary piece of paper and a pen, then you can...

Wow, what a wonderful and fun time! It’s wonderful to notice this from the word. Well, I mean, take it, suddenly notice each other and play.

The best place for such games, as already mentioned, is travel. Even small ones will do. For example, by metro or train.

And don't forget to bring something tough! For example, a book. So that there is somewhere to put the leaf.

So. Games. Here we will talk about our favorites. I remember most of them from childhood. Some of the rules were found in the book “The Best Board Games for Children and Adults.” We always have it with us when we travel and have already talked about it.

But basically, this is still my presentation of our rules of the game. Therefore, in some places they are very different from the books.

The game of gallows is a game for two or a small company

Seven-year-old Marina and I like to play gallows and sea battle the most. That’s why we’ll tell you about them first.

And we won’t talk about tic-tac-toe at all. Everyone knows them. Is it true?

Preparing for the game

Each player thinks of a word and depicts this word in the form of dashes. One dash equals one letter. Like this.

Yes! If a child is participating in the game and is likely to write “mAlAko”, I recommend giving him some book that is at hand so that he can choose words from those written there. To avoid incidents, so to speak.

Progress of the game

Actually this is a game for two. But the three of us played it too.

Players take turns telling their opponent a letter. If there are more than two players, the order is established. For example, clockwise.

So. The first player says to the second:

- The letter "O"!

If the word guessed by the second player contains the letter “O”, then he puts this letter in its proper place, replacing the dash. Like this:

If there is no such letter in the word, the first player writes down the letter “O” for himself in order to remember that this letter is not in the guessed word, and the second player draws one stick in the picture of a gallows. Here it is.

Each unguessed letter = a stick in the picture.

My family and I made a unanimous decision that we didn’t want to play at the gallows. After all, our company is pleasant and we don’t want to hang anyone, even on paper. That's why we replaced the gallows with a launch into space. Like this:

There are exactly the same number of sticks here.

After the first player does not guess the letter, the turn moves on to the next one. And so on.

Purpose of the game

Guess the enemy's word before you are sent into space (hanged).

Sea battle - rules of the game on paper

If in the previous game the leaf did not have to be in a square, then according to the rules of the game “Battleship” a square is still necessary. However, if there is no checkered paper, no worries! You can draw the cells yourself. After all, you won’t need a whole sheet of cells. And two 10x10 fields for each player.

Preparing for the game

Each player has his own piece of paper.

There are two fields on the piece of paper. Like these ones:

We mark the verticals and horizontals of the fields according to the chess principle.

We sign the letters on top of the cells. We start with “A” and continue alphabetically.

The letter "Y" is usually skipped.

Well, on the left we number the horizontal lines.

One such field will be needed to place your ships. Another is for guessing enemy ships.

Players place their ships on their field. They should be:

Four-deck - one (four cells)

Three-deck – two (three squares)

Double deck – three (two squares)

Single-deck – four (one cell)

The ships must be positioned so that there is at least one empty square between them.

All is ready?

Then let's fight!

Progress of the game

Players take turns, naming the coordinates of the cell they are “shooting” at. For example, our opponent says:

We are looking for a cell on the field with our ships in the fifth line in column “A”.

So we answer:

And just in case, we mark this cell with a dot. Like, the enemy has already come here.

And the enemy does the same. After all, he needs to remember where he “shot” and where not yet.

After a miss, the turn goes to the other player.

If the enemy “got” into a square with a ship, then: if the ship is multi-deck, we say:

And we cross out the cell of our wounded ship with one slash.

The enemy does the same and continues to “shoot” until the first miss.

If the enemy “hit” the entire ship, we, brushing away a stingy tear, report:

Purpose of the game

Hit all enemy ships first.

Game of bulls and cows - rules

This is my favorite paper game!

However, not necessarily on paper. There are analogues of this game even in children's games. Once I came across such a game in a very pleasant children's game like “quest”, downloading it for my daughter Marina.

The numbers in this game were replaced by characters from the cartoon "Cheburashka". The game did not lose anything, so it was difficult to drive me away from it :)

So. Bulls and cows.

Preparing for the game

Each player guesses a pre-agreed sequence of numbers.

For example, let's guess four numbers. Yes! One condition is that the numbers should not be repeated.

Progress of the game

Players take turns making guesses regarding the sequence planned by the enemy.

For example.

Player 1 wished 4567

A Player 2 – 3079

The first player moves.

– 5043! - he says.

And the second one compares the first player’s hypothesis with his own hidden sequence.

To do this, under his hidden number, he signs the number suggested by his opponent and checks all four positions. Like this:

If the opponent calls the correct number in the correct position, then this is called one bull.

And if the number is correct, but is not in its place, then this is called one cow.

Player 2 counts all his bulls (1 bull is zero) and cows (1 cow is 3) and reports the result to player 1:

– 1 bull, 1 cow!

Player 1 records:

Purpose of the game: guess your opponent's sequence of numbers first

Football by squares

Preparing for the game

You need a piece of paper exactly in the box. We draw a football field so that it is divided in half. We mark the middle of the field. And the gate (6 cells).

We take colored pens (but not necessarily, they are needed so as not to get confused in the order of moves).

Let's play the first move.

Progress of the game

The first player walks from the middle of the field in a line (can be straight or broken) consisting of three segments. These can be the sides of the cell or the diagonal. The main thing is that the segments must be connected in series.

The next player from the end point of the line makes the same move in the direction he needs.

If the player has nowhere to go, a penalty kick is taken - a straight line of six cells.

At the same time, you can cross the lines. If the free kick ends on an already existing line, or the opponent again has nowhere to go, this is another free kick.

Purpose of the game

Be the first to score a goal against your opponent. Yes! Be sure to agree in advance what is considered a goal - when the line reaches the nearest side of the goal square, or when it reaches the far side.

Corridor game

Preparing for the game

You will need a checkered piece of paper and pens. Draw a square or rectangular field on a sheet of paper.

Progress of the game

The first player draws a line segment in an arbitrary place. One move is equal to one side of the cell.

The second one also draws his own in an arbitrary place.

Let me note here. Actually, the game is called “corridors.” And judging by the name, it probably wouldn’t hurt for the second player to continue the segment of the previous player. But for some reason this was not mentioned in the book. And we played like that. You can try drawing a continuous line. Perhaps it will be even more interesting. Experiment!

When one of the cells turns out to be surrounded by segments on all sides, the player who managed to lock the cell puts his icon in this cell - a “cross” or “zero” and gets an extra move. He walks as long as there is an opportunity to place new “crosses” or “toes”. In this game, cells are occupied one at a time.

When the entire field has been covered (or the players are tired of playing, it’s time to leave, etc.), the number of zeros and crosses is counted.

Purpose of the game

The player with the most icons (crosses or zeros) wins.

Game "Lock the Cage"

Preparing for the game

Very similar to "Corridors". Draw a square or rectangular field on a sheet of paper.

Progress of the game

The first player also draws a line segment in an arbitrary place. One move is equal to one side of the cell.

And the second one from any end of an existing segment draws the next segment.

The nuances are as follows: you can “lock” several cells at once. After a player has “locked” a cell, he does not continue to move - the turn goes to the next player.

And - according to the rules of the game, we don’t put X’s and O’s here, but we put the first letters of the names here. Which, by the way, allows us to play as a group.

At the end of the game, count the number of letters on the field.

Purpose of the game

The player whose icons (the first letters of their names) have more icons wins.

That's probably all.

If you don’t know what to do with your child on the road, while waiting, or just on a bad autumn day, tell us, or try inviting him to play games on paper. Surely your child will like this idea, because it is quite unusual, much more useful than computer games or on portable gadgets, and also very affordable, all you need is a piece of paper and a pencil or pen.

TOP 10

1.Sea battle.

Let's start with the most popular toy, familiar to many from childhood, for which you will need two checkered notebook sheets, two pencils or pens and two players.

Sea battle - rules of the game on paper

Each participant must first draw two fields on a piece of notebook paper, measuring 10 by 10 cells, and number each, first on the top side, from left to right, assigning a letter to each cell, as they are located in the alphabet - from A to K, and then on the leftmost side from top to bottom from 1 to 10.

After this, on one field, which will be yours, you need to place your ships, there should be ten of them in total - one 4-deck, consisting of four cells located exclusively in a row horizontally or vertically, two 3-deck, three 2-deck x-deck, and four 1-deck. It is also important to take into account that the ships located on the playing field cannot touch each other in any places; a distance of at least one cell must be maintained between them along the perimeter.

The second drawn field will be required in order to try to guess how the enemy’s ships are located; certain marks are made on it during the game, based on the results of which it is possible to build a picture of the location of the opponent’s fleet.

When the preparatory work is completed and the fleet is deployed, you can begin the battles, the players shoot one by one, calling the coordinates of a certain point on the opponent’s field, for this purpose the letters and numbers specified in advance are used. For example, the player sets the coordinates of G8, the opponent looks where such a shot hits, and informs the shooter whether it hit the ship, partially touched it, if it is a 2, 3, 4 deck ship, in this case they say “wounded” or 1-deck, then “killed”. If the shot was simply on the field, in this case it is noted that it was fired “missing”.

Similar paper fighting game, is to destroy the entire enemy fleet as quickly as possible, while preserving your ships as much as possible.

It should be noted that there are similar sea ​​games on paper, in which battles are fought on fields of more complex shape and size, and multi-level ships are also depicted.

2. Gallows or executioner.

In order to play this fun, you will need one piece of paper, as well as a pen or pencil.

Rules games on a sheet of paper

The first participant thinks up a word in his mind; it must be a noun, in the singular nominative case. Next, he depicts this word on a piece of paper in the form of squares or strokes, and each symbol must correspond to the letter of the word.

After this, the second participant begins to name the letters that, in his opinion, may be in this word if the letter is guessed. It is written in the right place, but if not, the person who made the wish draws the first element of the gallows on the side. This continues until the player guesses the word or is hanged, i.e. will be defeated.

Then the players change places, the one who previously guessed begins to guess, and can also be executed on the gallows.

3. Tic Tac Toe.

For this toy you will need a notebook piece of paper, preferably in a box, and a pen.

Description of the rules paper games for two"Tic-tac-toe."

A square-shaped playing field is first drawn, consisting of three vertical cells and three horizontal cells. Then the first player puts a cross in any cell he likes, the second player puts a zero in the return move. The essence of the game is to prevent your opponent from building a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line with his pieces. Later, when a simple version of this games on paper with pen for two will be mastered and become uninteresting, the size of the playing field can be increased several times or made of an unusual shape.

4. Segments.

For this fun you will need a piece of paper and a colored felt-tip pen or pencil.

Description of conditions.

First, 15-17 dots are placed on the sheet in a chaotic order with one of the colors. Next, each player chooses a specific color of felt-tip pen, which they alternately connect into one segment. At the same time, this segment should not intersect with any of those already depicted, either by the player himself or his opponent. The one who cannot connect the next two points into an independent segment loses.

Over time, the number of points can be increased to any odd number.

As in all previous cases, you will need two pens (pencils) and 2 sheets of paper.

Conditions games on paper and pen

A large complex word is invented in advance; it must be a noun in the singular person and nominative case. Each participant writes it down on a piece of paper at the top. Then a certain time is given, for example, 5 minutes, during which it is necessary to compose many simple ones from this complex word, or rather its letters. For example, the word “coffee grinder” is taken as a basis; from it you can create words such as coffee, crowbar, varnish, lump, etc.

Then the participants read out their words one by one, those that appear in both players are automatically crossed out, as a result of which only non-repeating ones remain, the one who has the most such words wins.

6. Nonsense.

This entertainment option is very fun, it is much more interesting and exciting rock paper scissors strip game. Two or more people can participate in it, one must be the leader. All participants, except the presenter, must have the main attributes of all the games described in this publication - paper sheets and pens.

The rules of the game are nonsense.

The presenter asks the first question, for example, it sounds like this: - “Who?” Each participant answers it in writing, starting to write from the very top edge of the piece of paper, and immediately wraps it up so that the inscription is not visible.

Then the presenter asks the following question, for example: - “With whom?”

The players also answer it in writing, wrap up another part of the leaf and exchange them again.

Answers to questions are written down until the piece of paper runs out. At the end, each participant unfolds the piece of paper and reads the funny story that turned out.

It should be noted that this entertainment is very popular not only among children, but also among adults, especially at corporate parties or among warm home company. And according to this principle, you can hold comic or any other suitable holiday.

For this fun you will need paper sheets and four colored markers or pencils, as well as a pen.

How to make a game on paper"Colors"

To begin with, a vertical line is drawn on the right side of the sheet, reminiscent of notebook margins, then the bottom edge of the paper is bent with a strip of approximately 2-3 centimeters, so that it is not visible from the opposite side to the second player.

Then the second player begins to guess the location of the colors, for this he draws them in a row, in front of the curved edge, if the color matches, the guesser puts a plus in the margins, if not, a minus.

The essence of this game is to guess the location of the colored dots as quickly as possible.

8.Halves.

This entertainment, like everyone knows rock paper scissors game on fingers, will appeal to preschool children who do not yet know how to write, but love to draw and do it all the time. It requires a standard set - a piece of paper and a pencil.

Description of conditions.

One of the participants draws a drawing, but not completely, but only half of it, for example, half a circle, and the second one completes the drawing, turning that same circle into a ball, an apple, a sun, etc. Then, based on the completed sketches, you and your baby can create various ones at home.

9. Scrabble or Scrabble.

This game option is designed for children of high school age, as well as adults.

A playing field is drawn, measuring 15 by 15 cells, some cells are shaded in red, some in yellow, and some in green, in a completely chaotic order, the rest remain white. This is necessary so that by playing the letters that fall on these cells, they increase their points. Red 2 times, green + 5 points, yellow + 2 points. The entire alphabet is also written out in advance, and each letter is assigned a certain number of points. Moreover, the simpler a letter is and the more often it occurs in many words, for example, A, O, I, the fewer points it has, and, accordingly, the more complex it is - Y, Yu, F, etc. the more points.

At the beginning of the game, the presenter dictates seven letters to each player, they can be different or repeated, then the players take turns writing words on the playing field according to the principle of a crossword puzzle, using exclusively the letters they have.

Based on the results of the words composed, the points earned by each player are calculated, which, as noted above, can increase if a certain letter of the word lands on a colored cell of the field.

10. Words starting with the letter.

Two or more people can participate in this entertainment. At the same time, everyone should have a paper blank and a pencil.

First, on a piece of paper, each player draws a table consisting of eight columns; the width of the columns should be such that a word of average length can be freely entered into it.

Next, each column is given a name, 1st is “Letter”, 2nd is “Boy’s Name”, 3rd is “Girl’s Name”, 4th is “Animal”, 5th is “Plant”, 6th is “City” ", 7th "Food", 8th "Number of points". Next, by drawing lots, the letter is determined, into which the words starting with it are entered into the columns at speed. It is important not only to quickly write all the words, but also to choose options that your opponent will definitely not encounter.

Then the players read out their options one by one and cross out the ones that are repeated. The winner is the one who wrote the most words without repetition and did it the fastest.

The games presented above are not all that you can keep your child busy and do yourself; it should be noted that many of these games in a modern interpretation are present in software and computer variations, for example, alchemy game on paper Today it is very popular among schoolchildren, students, and adults.

How delightfully we played tic-tac-toe with our dad or mom as children, drawing icons with a stick on the wet river sand. With what passion they fought in “dots”, trying to beat their older brother or sister. How they laughed during breaks at the stories that came out of the “nonsense” game. How many smart and, probably, very useful lectures passed by us, already students, enthusiastically playing Renju... Some games Only older children can master it. But there is also fun for kids, and many “adult” rules can always be changed or simplified. In general, the one who walks will master the road... Having taught the child play in similar games, you can always keep it busy on a long journey, you won’t be bored in rainy weather at home or in the country. You will receive irreplaceable and interesting developmental exercises, for which everything is always at hand. All you need is a pencil and a piece of paper...

Baby games

Among the “paper” games, among the fun that are quite complex, you can find many simple battles that are quite within the capabilities of kids. For example, here is an interesting and useful a game, which is called "Flower-eight-flower." For it, draw on paper a flower with eight identical petals. Now arm yourself with your baby with pencils of different colors and start coloring the petals. You need to paint them one by one and adhere to a certain rule: during your turn, you can sketch any one petal or two adjacent ones. Wins the one who paints the last petal. Give in to your child every once in a while, gradually leading him to the idea that winnings in this game it is not an accident, but the result of carefully thinking through moves. It is easy to reduce the game to this form, when from one right or wrong move baby will depend on it winnings or loss. Draw your baby’s attention to this by noting: “If you color the petals correctly now, I won’t be able to beat you, if not, I’ll win...” After several attempts and thinking, the baby will learn the correct tactics games. This will bring him both great pleasure from his own achievement and the understanding that many problems in this difficult world can be solved independently and receive undoubted benefit from this. Simple a game "Snake" will be useful not only for the head, but also for the hands of the little player. She will strengthen naughty fingers and teach her to draw straight lines. Take a sheet of squared paper (preferably good quality paper with clear squares). Limit the square playing field to 7x7 cells. Two adjacent sides of the square should be the same color (say, red), the rest should be another (for example, blue). Place red and blue dots in random places on the playing field. Now the players take turns making moves, starting to draw broken snake lines from the point of “their” color with “their” pencil. In one move, the line is extended by one cell in any direction (but not diagonally). The lines should not intersect; they can be drawn along the side of the playing field, but these should not be the sides of “their” color. The one who has nowhere else to prolong his snake, loses.

C'mon, I'm putting crosses!

IN " Tic Tac Toe" with pleasure play even three-year-old babies. And for them this is not just fun, but a real educational mathematical a game. After losing several times, they quickly realize that they don’t need to fill in the cells haphazardly. In order to win(or, more precisely, to bring the game to a draw), certain tactics should be developed games and think one step ahead. But ordinary “tic-tac-toe” quickly gets boring even for little ones. And, when this game is mastered, it makes sense to move on to a more complicated version - three-dimensional. Draw a cube, draw each of the three visible faces into nine cells. You will have three playing fields at the same time. Otherwise, the rules are the same: three X's or O's in a row on any side mean victory. But now the baby will have to keep track of a much larger number of combinations, and even use his spatial imagination. Well, when the child can easily navigate the three-dimensional game, try playing with him the paper version of the Japanese games "Renju", which means "string of pearls". Target games– put five zeros or crosses in a row. The game is played on a playing field measuring 15x15 or 19x19 cells. This is no longer a joke task. And if after some time you have to really rack your brains in order to win at his own baby, you can safely be proud of your student!

Sea battles

I guess the rules games V "sea battle" are known to everyone and there is no need to remind them. But there are a few tactical tricks. And if you share them with child, the likelihood of his victories in paper-sea battles will increase significantly. So, the most rational way of making two “shots” one after another is the letter “g”, similar to the move of a chess knight. This will make it possible to quickly identify “long” enemy ships. As you know, in a “naval battle” even one meaningless move gives the enemy a significant advantage. Therefore, it is very important not to make ill-conceived “shots”. Please advise to kid Surround each enemy ship that is shot down with points. Firstly, the baby will not accidentally “shoot” in a useless place. And, secondly, with such tactics, the possible locations of ships are clearly visible.

Territory wars

Many games on paper involve fighting over territory. In addition to excitement, they have undoubted benefits, developing logical thinking and attention. Try it play With child in Game "Corridors", and you can easily verify this. The playing field is drawn on a checkered piece of paper. Its shape and size are not of fundamental importance. It can be a square or any shape. And to interest the baby, you can draw a Christmas tree, a dog or other desired outline. The younger the child, the smaller the playing field. It is better to take paper with large cells. Armed with pens or markers with your baby, start playing. Each player takes turns drawing horizontal or vertical lines onto one cell. The one who managed to draw the last, fourth line closing the square puts his sign (cross, zero or any other) inside the square cell. When all the cells of the playing field are filled with “monograms,” their number is counted and the winner is determined. A game "Feudal Lords" or "Dots" It will be interesting for older children. "Dots" - a simplified paper version of the famous Japanese games"Go." It develops tactical and strategic thinking and is one of the most favorite school and student games during lessons and lectures. The playing field is an ordinary sheet of checkered paper, and if you have a lot of time and patience, you can play on a whole notebook spread. In order to games fewer conflict and controversial situations arose, it was better to outline the playing field with a line and the rules prohibited placing dots on this border. Each player should have a pen or pencil of their own color. Players take turns placing dots in random places at the intersection of cells. Target games– capture as many paper possessions as possible. A territory is considered captured if it is surrounded by dots of its own color. The points should be located one cell apart from each other horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The captured territory is painted over with its own color or a fortress wall is drawn around it (thick line). If you managed to encircle the enemy’s territory or points with dots, they are yours. After such a capture, the player is given the right to make an extraordinary move. In some variants games You can only capture those territories where there are already enemy fortifications. In others, any land, including free ones, is available to you. Choose what you like best. At the end games the size of the captured lands is calculated and the winner is declared. Most often, there is no need to specifically count anything - the result is obvious. Try to play this game not only with schoolchildren, but also with toddlers. In this case, make the playing field very small - a quarter of a notebook page or even less, and use paper with large squares. With a little training, little strategists will be able to keep you good company in paper battles.

Drawing fantasies

This a game will require a little preparation. But then you will just need to pull out the treasured box from the closet, and the baby will instantly turn from a bored “gut” into a gambler, artist and dreamer. First we will make the playing field. A thick landscape sheet or a sheet of cardboard is quite suitable for it. Mark the start and finish on the playing field, and between them draw a winding path of 32 circles with numbers. Now you will need small cards according to the number of circles (for example, a pack of paper or cardboard for writing). On each card we put a number and write mysterious phrases like “draw huge red eyes”, “draw donkey ears” or “add rooster paws”. When the preparatory stage is completed, you can proceed directly to the game. Use chips and cubes from any board game games- walkers or use buttons or toys from Kinder surprises as chips. In progress games You and your baby will create a “biting scribbler”. First draw the base - the torso with a head of any kind, and small details like eyes, nose, mouth, arms, legs, ears, horns, etc. you will complete the drawing as you go games, relying on cue cards. So, we place the chips at the start and throw the dice one by one. We find a card with the same number to which the chip moved, read the task and finish drawing frog legs, horse hooves, a crow’s beak or dragon thorns for our monster in accordance with what is written on the card. Options games maybe two. All players either create one common mysterious creature with many paws, eyes and tails, or each draw their own. When all the chips reach the finish line, the drawings are compared. It turns out who has the funniest, scariest or most “correct” monster. You can, of course, try to determine the winner, but the main thing in this fun, of course, is the process itself games and creativity. It’s better to come up with tasks for cards together with your child. And if the baby is just now learning to read, make the inscriptions in large, clear letters. You will not only get an entertaining a game, but also a reading trainer. Which of the young dreamers will refuse to find out what needs to be completed for our “handsome boy”: fish scales, a dragon’s tail or three glowing eyes.

Who is more attentive and faster?

Extraordinary a game "Palms" will be interesting for children who are already familiar with numbers. It will be an excellent trainer for attention and fine motor skills, and will teach you how to quickly navigate numbers. Take two sheets of paper in a box and circle your baby’s hand or yours on each. In order to even out the chances a little, you can trace your hand on your sheet of paper, and his on the child’s sheet. Then your playing field will be slightly larger than baby. Now, in the space limited by the drawing, dots with numbers from 1 to... How long the numbers will be depends on the age and knowledge of the baby. For the smallest ones, up to 10 is enough, and for “advanced” mathematicians, up to 100 is enough. Now the fun begins. The first player calls any number and, while the opponent is looking for it on his playing field, quickly puts crosses in his cells. You need to have time to cross out as many of them as possible. Then the turn goes to the opponent. The winner is the one who fills all the cells of his field with crosses faster. It is clear that you cannot yawn in this game, but the little ones should sometimes play along. Paper is a wonderful play tool on which you can arrange the most real race. You can play this game, which develops logic and motor skills and reinforces the basics of addition and subtraction. play even with a 4-5 year old baby. Take a piece of squared paper and draw a racing “track” on it - a winding path about 8-9 squares wide. The “track” can narrow and widen at will. It is clear that the younger the “racer”, the simpler the trajectory should be. The start and finish are marked on the route. Each player “rides” in turn with a line of his own color, drawing segments along the cells horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You can move at speeds from 1 to 6. The first speed is a line of 1 cell. The sixth - respectively at 6. You can “gain” and “lower” the speed gradually, increasing or decreasing the segments of progress by 1 cell. Target games– by choosing the optimal trajectory and speed, be the first to reach the finish line.

Letters, line up!

In the family of “paper” games with letters and words, there is a great variety of all kinds of fun that you know very well and which you have probably ever played. This and "Gallows", similar in essence to the well-known TV game “Field of Miracles”, and "Printing house", where short words are made up of letters included in a long word, and "Balda" in which each letter added helps form a new word. In these games quite possible play with children, but there is one indispensable and obvious condition: the baby must be able to read. For children who have just mastered the difficult science of literacy, games with letters will be wonderful helpers on the path to meaningful reading, understanding the intricacies of their native language, and expanding their vocabulary. Show your child how replacing just one letter turns a scythe into a goat or a whale into a cat. Make chains of these words together. For example: cat-mouth-rod-rom-com-house, etc. On this principle is based a remarkable intellectual a game, invented by Lewis Carroll. With its help you can turn not only a whale into a cat, but even an elephant out of a fly. Each time, changing just one letter in a word, we gradually move forward in solving the problem and as a result we get the desired word. Try it play play this game with your baby. To begin, take two very simple three-letter words and try to transform one into the other. For example, let's turn "cheese" into "juice" (cheese-son-son-juice or even shorter: cheese-soak-juice). If the baby a game if you are interested, play with other words. Of course, you will be the main writer for now, but gradually the baby will master this difficult fun. The game "Hangman" is usually very popular with kids. So, let’s think of a word (simple and short to begin with). We write its first and last letters, and instead of the missing ones we put dashes. The child’s task is to guess the hidden word. He names the letter. If this letter is in the word, write it in its place. If not, we begin to draw a “gallows” - a vertical line. The next error is horizontal (it turns out something like the letter “g”). Then the rope, the loop, the man’s head, torso, arms and legs are completed. During these eight attempts, the baby must guess the word. If it doesn't work out, you lose. If he has time, it’s his turn to make a wish. You can also involve dad in playing “Typography”. The more players there are, the more interesting and varied the words. We write some long word on a piece of paper (for example, “typography”). The players' task is to compose as many words as possible from the letters included in the hidden word in five minutes. If you have forgotten how play in "Baldu", we will remember. A playing field with large 5x5 cells is drawn on a sheet of paper (for experienced players the field can be 6x6 or even 7x7). In the middle row we write a word of five letters (in complicated versions of six and seven letters, respectively). Now the players take turns making moves. In one move, a letter is written into an empty cell in such a way that a new word is formed each time. Words can be read in any direction except diagonal. For each new word, the player scores as many points as there are letters in his word. The game ends when all the cells are filled, or when none of the players can come up with a single word. The number of points is calculated. Whoever has more wins. And kids also love all kinds of encryption and mysterious notes. Come up with a clue code by depicting each letter of the alphabet with a certain icon (just a triangle, a triangle with a dot inside, an asterisk, a square, a bracket, a diamond, etc.) Now, with the help of these figures, you can compose secret messages for your baby, first from just a few words, and then more authentic. For a young detective, deciphering a text will not be easy, but a very useful and exciting task that will require a high degree of attention, composure and perseverance.

Give me logic!

Fascinating games will help children develop logical thinking and combinatorics. a game"Logic", the paper version of which is called "Bulls and Cows" The classic version of the “bulls” is guessing a combination of four numbers from 1 to 9 (all four numbers must be different). One player writes the intended combination on his piece of paper, and the second player tries to guess it. With the first move, the guesser writes down on his piece of paper and names any combination. The opponent compares it with his own and gives tips. Each correctly guessed number is called a “cow,” and if the number is not only guessed, but also in the correct place, it is called a “bull.” Let's say the guessing player correctly named 2 out of four numbers, and for one of them he guessed the order. The clue will sound like this: “Two cows and one bull.” Based on the information received and reasoning logically, the player makes the following assumption. And so on until the entire combination is solved. Then the players change roles. This option games Suitable for younger schoolchildren, but for 4-6 year olds the game should be simplified a little. Firstly, replace the numbers with colors, and secondly, reduce their possible number to six. Now one player will guess the colors by placing four different-colored sticks out of a possible six in a row. And the second player is to solve them. Otherwise the rules are the same. Play openly with your child several times, make sure he clearly understands the rules games, show how to reason. In a simplified version, with the right train of thought, the combination can be solved in 3 to 5 moves. And even stupid at first glance a game"Nonsense" carries a deep meaning if play the whole family into it. Each player receives a piece of paper and writes at the top the answer to the question “Who?” (Winnie the Pooh, cat Behemoth, neighbor Uncle Vasya, etc.). Then the answer is folded in such a way that it cannot be read, and the sheets of paper are passed around. The next question is “With whom?” Then follow: “When?”, “Where?”, “What did you do?”, “What came of it?” When all the answers are written, the pieces of paper are unfolded and read. "So what's the point of all this?" - you ask. If the whole family laughs at the resulting nonsense, if parents and children are interested and having fun together - isn’t this the most important, most important meaning of any family games? I think the answer will be yes...

There is a lot of paper, both colored and plain, as well as cardboard in every home. It’s easy to play with this material, you don’t mind throwing it away, and it’s hard to imagine the options for all kinds of paper crafts.

Go to any toy store and you will be amazed at the huge assortment of dolls, cars, construction sets, puzzles, etc. Many of them are expensive - not all parents can afford to buy such a toy for their son or daughter. However, store-bought toys usually attract babies for a very short time.

Don't buy everything! And don’t be upset that you don’t have enough money for the next new product. At home you can easily find many educational items and things that can successfully replace industrial toys.

Add to this the joy of co-creation. One of these publicly available materials is ordinary paper.

The beginning of creativity

Children who have the opportunity to play with objects at hand - strings, boxes, jars, cereals, rings, sand and paper - grow up not only happier, but also smarter than their peers. Such a baby is significantly ahead of others in development.

The point is not only that the child began to sculpt, cut, and sort objects by color and shape earlier, but also that such games awakened in him the desire for creativity. Self-expression through manual work not only adds dexterity to children, but also trains their intelligence. Scientists have long proven the direct connection between the fingertips and the cerebral cortex.

Material

Paper does not have a specific purpose, so it can be easily shaped into any convenient shape. That's why playing with paper is so useful for kids. Especially during the period of active brain development, that is, between the ages of one and three years.

We are used to writing on paper, gluing it, cutting it into pieces. The child does not have a clear idea, so he can do whatever comes to his mind with the paper. Children have a lot of imagination and their own plans for this material.

Give your baby, who is not yet one year old, a piece of white paper. He will examine it by touch and taste, and will quickly notice that the paper changes shape under the influence of his hands. This in itself is a valuable discovery for the baby.

Children love to crumple and tear paper, getting great pleasure from the process. This seems very simple to adults, but in fact, a very complex work takes place in the child’s head associated with understanding cause and effect, that is, between a certain action and the result obtained.

The kid is trying to change the very shape of the paper. To do this, he tears it into small pieces. A little later he will master scissors, learn to cut, fold boats and airplanes out of paper. Depending on the child's stage of development, paper can be turned into very simple or quite complex objects.

Magazines and newspapers

It is difficult to find an entire printed publication in the house where the baby lives. This is because children like to leaf through, crumple, and tear into pieces. And this is not just a whim, but a real desire to understand the world around us. And when your favorite magazine becomes a pile of crumpled paper, don't be too upset. It's just another important step in childhood development.

Remember that it is very important for kids to do something with their hands. Remove from their sight everything that is of value to you, allow them to tear only unnecessary newspapers and magazines. At the same time, make sure that the baby does not eat the paper or lick his fingers smeared with printing ink. After such games, be sure to wash your baby’s hands.

Collection

Collect different types of paper. You will need soft, white, colored, thick, wrapping, cardboard. Everything is suitable for the development of the child.

The most popular game among children is paper balls. They can be thrown to each other or at a target, collected in a basket or box. It is easy for a preschooler to learn counting, colors, weights, sizes, and lengths with the help of paper balls. Believe me, this will be interesting not only for the baby, but also for you. How else to play with children depending on their age?

If the child is 1 year old

Explore texture with your baby. Take his pen in yours, run it over cardboard, plain paper, a glossy magazine, newspaper. Show how to crumple paper using napkins. You can roll several balls of varying sizes. These balls are easy to roll on a flat surface, throw to each other, collect together and scatter again. You can hide a small toy in one of the lumps. Let your little one unwrap it and find a surprise inside.

If the child is 3 years old

It's time to introduce your child to scissors. Be sure to buy special ones: light, safe, with rounded ends. Together, cut out several strips of paper, decorating them with cuts on the sides - fringes.

Five years old child

A preschooler not only knows how to cut and glue paper. He is quite capable of origami - the art of folding paper figures. With the help of origami, the future first grader will learn to create new things, think logically, and imagine. This is a great opportunity to create with your own hands not only toys for yourself, but also gifts for all your relatives. You need to start with the simplest thing - with an airplane or cap.
