Intellectual games in the camp. Scenario of the game in the summer camp "What? Where? When?"

Mind games for children in summer camp

Pathfinder

The counselor hides several objects in the room, then lets the players into the room and, using Morse code or one of the ciphers, tells them the names of the objects and the places where they are hidden.

The players' task is to find as many hidden objects as possible. For each item found, the participant in the game receives one point.

Domino

Each player cuts out two sets of cards, one of which he signs with the letters of the alphabet (for example: A, B, C, etc.), and the other with the letters of Morse code (for example: –, – · · · , · – –). Then both sets are mixed and placed in one pile, empty side up. On command, each player tries to find cards from two sets with the same content as soon as possible and put the entire alphabet together again (for example, A +, –).

Strange message

Morse code is used to write a message in which some letters are deliberately left out, but still in a way that can be deciphered. Participants in the game transmit the decrypted message to the counselor in writing. Then the winner is determined.

Mysterious envelope

Using Morse code or cipher, the same letter is written for each participant in the game. Then, at the command of the counselor, the players open the envelopes, decipher the contents and hand it over to the counselor in writing. Of those who decipher the letter correctly, the one who does it first wins.

Squad letter

The units participating in the game are designated certain letters alphabet. The letters are then written onto the cards using Morse code. The cards are shuffled and placed with the blank side up, after which the counselor turns them over one by one and quickly shows them to the participants in the game. The first person to guess the letter that represents his squad gets one point in a multi-day game.

Remember the letter

The counselor stands in front of the squad and, using a whistle, names any letter of his own choice. Within ten seconds, all participants in the game whose name contains this letter must raise their hand. The one who raises his hand later, does not raise it at all, or guesses the letter incorrectly, leaves the game. The winner receives three points in squad competitions.

Morse code with ball

Members of the two teams sit opposite each other. The player of the first team throws the ball to the player of the second, while using a whistle to name a letter of the alphabet. The player on the second team must quickly guess the letter and throw the ball to the next player on the first team. A quick answer is awarded two points, a slower answer is awarded one. The team with the most points wins.

Encrypt the message

The counselor dictates the text of the message and determines the code. The winner is the one who can encrypt the text correctly and pass it on to the counselor the fastest. He receives three points in squad competitions.

Sending a message

The participants in the game are divided into pairs consisting of members of two squads, and are positioned so that each pair sees only one pair in front of them and one behind them. The counselor signals the message to the first couple, who turn and pass it on. The winner is the team whose last member quickly brings the correctly deciphered message to the counselor.

Intelligentgames in the camp.

Proper organization of children's summer holiday is of great importance. In conditions children's camp we must provide children with the opportunity comprehensive development and manifestation of their interests. Therefore, it is necessary to think not only about the physical and psychological development children, but also about the intellectual. In this matter, such a category of games as intellectual games comes to our aid.

Intelligent games for children develop not only mental abilities and ingenuity, but also memory, attention, imagination, give children knowledge and the necessary mental load.

Below are intellectual games that can be used to work with children at camp.

Intellectual game "Confused".

This game must involve at least 5 people. Two of them: one entangling, the other unraveling.

Progress of the game:

The unraveler goes into another room so that he can see what the other children playing are doing. The participants in the game join hands, after which the “entangler” begins to do his job - to confuse all the guys: who got under the arm, who stepped over the other’s arm, who wrapped his arm around the neck, but you cannot open your arms. Overall it turned out to be “abracadabra”. Now the way out of the “unraveling” is a simple task - to unravel without opening your hands.

Intellectual game "Guess".

Progress of the game:

On school board or draw a square on paper. Then we draw out the cells - 5 by 5 (this is minimum quantity small cells, maybe more - 6 by 6, etc.). In the central part we write the word. For example: TRAP. Then, one by one, we write one letter into the adjacent cells so that we get another word. If under the word TRAP below the first letter A you write the letter P, you get the word FOLDER, and in a separate column lined up for each participant we write the number 5 - since the word FOLDER contains 5 letters. And so on in turn. The winner of the game is the participant who gets greatest number points.

Game "Cities".

Progress of the game:

The first participant says the name of the city. The next participant must name the city starting with the letter that the first city ends with. For example: Moscow. The next one says: Astrakhan. Next is Novosibirsk. You can choose any topic: animals, countries, movie titles, etc.

Game "Air, water, earth, fire."

This game requires a ball and several participants.

Progress of the game:

Children stand in a circle. The leader with the ball stands inside the circle. He throws the ball to the participants one by one and at the same time says one word out of four proposed: “air” - you need to catch the ball and say the name of the bird, “water” - catch the ball and name the fish, “earth” - name the animal, but if you catch the ball on the word “fire” - you are out of the game. After one of the participants has caught the ball, the presenter begins to count to “three” and if the person who caught it does not say anything, he is eliminated from the game. If he names a fish instead of a bird, he is eliminated from the game.
The winner becomes the host.

Game "Journey".

Progress of the game:

The presenter throws the ball in a circle to the participants in the game in turn. The one who catches the ball says the following phrase: “I will go to... for example: Delhi.” The participant standing to his right asks the question: “Why?”, and the next one standing to his right must quickly answer: why did he need to go to Delhi. For example: “counting elephants or studying India.”
Anyone who could not quickly answer the question leaves the game.

Game "Crocodile".

This game develops imaginative thinking and acting skills. Two teams play.

And so on until time runs out. The hat is then passed to the next couple in the circle. The pair with the most pieces of paper at the end of the game wins. In addition, if the drawn word turned out to be too “intellectual”, you can throw it back into the hat once during the entire game.

Intellectual casino in summer camp. Scenario

Two or three teams can take part in the game. Each of them is assigned a number by drawing lots. Unlike a real casino, where people come with their money and exchange it for game chips, in a smart casino, game chips are redeemed for knowledge. The host gives each team equal chances to buy back chips.

First task. In 30 seconds, come up with a word that would contain as much as possible more letters. It can be a noun, adjective, adverb or verb. After completing the task, each team receives as many chips as the number of letters in the word they came up with.

Second task. In 3 minutes, come up with a more or less coherent story, all words of which (except prepositions) begin with the same letter. (The letters: O, P, S are suitable for completing this task.) Then the guys read their stories and receive as many chips as there are words in their story for a given letter.

Third task. Within one minute, each team names objects, creatures or concepts on the topic that the leader suggested to them. (You can write themes on leaves or chamomile petals.)

Here's what the guys can call:

1. Car brands.

2. Constellations.

3. Male and female names starting with the letter “A”.

6. Representatives of the cat family.

7. Hats.

8. Celestial bodies.

9. Minerals.

10. Chemical elements.

11. European countries (Asia, Africa, America).

12. Capitals of states.

13. Flour products.

14. Meat dishes.

15. Types of weapons.

17. Trees.

18. Literary heroes men (women).

19. Drinks.

20. Furniture.

23. Russian (foreign) writers.

24. Types of ships.

25. Dog breeds.

26. Ungulates.

Each team will receive as many chips as the number of concepts they name.

Now each team has, so to speak, “capital”, which it can dispose of at its own discretion and place as many chips on the playing field as it sees fit.

The very first bet on the playing field is made by the team that was drawn No. 1. It can place its chips on sector A, B, C, or on “Yes - No”, or on the outer circle, where the cards with questions are located text down.

After the first team, the second team makes its bet. She cannot place her chips in a sector that has already been chosen by the first team.

The third team places its chips on the sector that neither the first nor the second team chose.

The facilitator asks each team a question from the sector in which they placed their chips. If the team answers the question correctly, then the presenter returns the chips at stake to them and also gives the same amount of his own. If the team gives the wrong answer, the presenter (dealer) takes the chips that the team placed on the playing field.

When each team has answered its question, the presenter offers to make another bet, but now the second team gets the right to be the first to put chips on the field; The third one follows her, then the first one. After this round, the third team will be the first to bet, followed by the first, then the second.

The presenter carefully ensures that the order of the first bet in each round of questions is not violated.

The game continues until: either one of the teams runs out of chips, or for a while (40-60 minutes). In the latter case, a gong is heard. The presenter (dealer) asks to count the chips (winnings).

The team that collects more chips during the game than its opponents wins. (The second and third places are determined by the number of chips the teams have.)

The children's world is unique. He has his own vocabulary, his own norms, his own codes of honor and fun. These are signs of a magical land called “The Game”. This country is incredibly pleasing, captivates children, fills all their time and is a very important thing. Kids live and develop through play. And not just kids. The game captivates everyone with its attractive romance, magic and uniqueness. There is an opinion that every generation is addicted to its own games. And it's true. Time changes, culture changes, the game changes. Today, a new direction has been formed, called “Intellectual Game for Children”.

These games help talented, unusually erudite children, for whom science, new knowledge, and diversity of creativity are of paramount importance, to open up. Unlike scientific conferences, various Olympiads and electives, intellectual play for children turns serious activity into a colorful spectacle, into an exciting competition, into a bright holiday. Therefore, such games are liked not only by children. Teenagers and students take part in them with pleasure. And even adults, interested in the game, join in with pleasure.

Proper organization of rest has great value. Mental stress and the cold season greatly deplete the physical and psychological state child. Therefore, in the summer you simply need to relax. Only intellectual play in the camp can competently organize the process of creative self-realization and enrichment with additional knowledge. Such games - creative activity, in which children demonstrate their understanding of life, reveal thoughts, aspirations, and sometimes feelings.

Examples of games

"Complicated answer"

One of the children (the chosen leader) asks very simple questions, implying the answers “Yes”, “No”. The remaining participants in the game must give an answer, while using the words “Yes” and “No” is strictly prohibited.

"Dispute"

All children are divided into two teams. The counselor or teacher reveals a certain topic to the children. The first team must assert, trying to prove known facts, and the second, on the contrary, must find facts to prove the opposite side.

"Make a proverb"

Children are given pieces of paper with two words written on them. From these words you need to make a proverb. For example, the words: light - darkness. The child who is the first to correctly voice the well-known proverb wins.

All children love fairy tales. That is why in Soviet era All camps held a competition for the best theatrical presentation of famous fairy tales. Today's children do not really like to participate in such performances. Therefore, an intellectual game for children, including many different fairy tales, will be very useful.

Scenario of the game "World of Fairy Tales"

In such a game, there are supposed to be four teams-squads.

Competition 1

Any fairy tale is called. You need to name a new one for the last letter of this fairy tale. The action takes place in a circle. The team that does not select the required fairy tale name within 5 seconds is eliminated from participation.

Competition 2

It is necessary to come up with an ode of praise to anyone. All teams are given prepared rhymes:

jackdaw - stick,
sock - sand.

Competition 3

Think through and dramatize the meeting of three completely different characters. For example, such as:

The Little Humpbacked Horse, Aladdin, Baba Yaga.
The Little Mermaid, Old Man Hottabych, Winnie the Pooh.
Serpent Gorynych, Cinderella, Mowgli.
Little Red Riding Hood, Piglet.

Competition 4

The captains draw lots. Each team gets its own fairy tale. Without using words, using only pantomime, the team must demonstrate a fairy tale so that the audience can guess its name. Fairy tale options:

“Teremok”, “Turnip”, “Chicken Ryaba”, “Kolobok”.

Competition 5

Think over and dramatize a short fairy tale in which three magical objects will be used: a self-assembled tablecloth, a flying carpet, and a magic mirror.

Competition 6

To dramatize the famous fairy tale “The Three Little Pigs” in the national style. You can use African style, Indian, English. This action takes into account the selection of appropriate animals, the transfer of color, imitation of style and even accent.

This scenario of intellectual play can be supplemented with competitions if the children get excited. To do this, you need to prepare several additional competitions in advance. At the end, of course, the results are summed up and the winners are awarded as the best storytellers.

There is some annoying stereotype in the world - creative development aimed at the development of young children or primary schoolchildren. Often, schools and camps carefully select intellectual games for primary schoolchildren. But teenagers and high school students also need to develop creative and creative potential. That is why invite older children to create an intellectual games club. Get them interested not only in the games themselves, but also in planning work with younger children.

Several games that high school students will enjoy are brought to your attention.

Games for older children

"Theater of Abbreviations"

The game requires excellent acting skills.

One of the players goes out the door. The rest come up with a word. The letters of this word are distributed among the playing children. Each letter characterizes a type of behavior. For example, “z” is envy, “o” is mischief. When the host enters the room, the players must show him pantomimes. It is necessary to determine what character trait is being demonstrated to him, and form the correct word from the resulting letters.

"The sea is agitated"

All players come up with one word and call them out loud in turn. The player who concludes this chain says his word and takes on the role of narrator. He begins to tell a fictitious story, in which it is necessary to coherently include all the words named by the players. The player whose word was spoken must leave the chain and move away from his place. The storyteller needs to confuse the players with his narrative. For example, not saying any of the players’ words for a long time, and then saying several words at once. The story should end with the phrase “the sea is agitated.” This phrase is a signal by which all players strive to return to their places. The one who did not have time becomes the storyteller.
