What to play with children outside: a selection of games - suitable for small children and tired mothers

If you want your child to be happy, active and developed, you need to work with him – even outside.
A selection of street games that require minimal activity on your part will help you with this.
Treasure Chest
For the game you will need any container, for example, a plastic container. Explain to the child that in front of him is a chest that needs to be filled with different treasures: these can be beautiful stones, twigs and leaves. The kid will walk around the playground, collect treasures and bring them to you for evaluation. When the chest is full, you can go home.
The game doesn’t end there: at home, give your little one some plasticine and suggest making a craft using the treasures they found.
Guessing game with stones and leaves
Ask your child to collect materials for creativity or do it together. You can even pick some grass – and that will be enough. The child’s task is to create a composition from the collected materials, and you must guess what the little “creator” has in mind.
Shop
Many children love this game, and by the way, you don't have to use real money for it. Remember your childhood, when leaves were used instead of coins. Take a few toys with you outside, and when you get to the playground, offer your child to buy them for leaves of a certain type.
The child can also make his own "showcase" - selling, for example, flowers. Buy them for the "currency" that the child brought you.
Hot and cold
Take a small, bright object for a walk – let it be, for example, a cube. The child turns away, you hide the object, and then say the words “cold”, “warmer”, “even warmer”, “hot” depending on how close he came to the hidden object.
Earlier we talked about why you shouldn’t try to study next year’s program with your child in the summer.
