"Lazy" games. How to play with your little sister

Karina is tired of playing alone.

I wish Dasha would grow up soon, she’s small and doesn’t know how to play,” Karina sighed.

Play lazy games with your sister.

Karina felt funny:

Lazy games? Are there really such things?

Of course, I recently gave away the Little Doctor set. Say that you are sick, and Dasha will be a doctor and come to you when called. Draw a red dot on your finger with a felt-tip pen and tell him what hurts. Dasha will seal the wound or bandage it with a children's plaster with pictures. Then complain about a headache, have him apply a towel. Maybe we can look at your throat and wrap your neck and take your temperature. You can come up with a lot of things.

She doesn't play well.

But he learns quickly. Have you noticed how she repeats everything after you? You are the most important example for my sister.

You still can’t play with her like you do with your friends. And it’s not interesting to play doctor all the time.

Then to the hairdresser. Let her do her hair, but first comb her hair well.

She doesn't know how to braid.

She doesn't need it yet. Dasha will simply sort through her hair and carefully twist it. Praise and please your sister kind words. This is very important for kids; they don’t succeed in everything right away.

There are only two games, it will get boring quickly.

There are many lazy games. If you want to relax a little, ask to bring a book or a toy. While she is sorting through toys in search of the right one, she can start playing. Your sister loves the cut alphabet. Offer to lay out the cards on the floor, let him bring one at a time. Dasha can also be a cook, she will prepare dinner, lay out the dishes, and feed you from a spoon.

Karina presented this picture and laughed:

Shall we switch places with Dasha? I am Dasha, and she is Karina.

Karina started daydreaming:

Oh, how good! Little children are more loved.

Who told you that?

I know it myself. They fiddle with her all the time, and I have to do my homework.

You don't do your homework all the time. Babies need to be constantly looked after, that's true. They don’t yet know that wires cannot be pulled, scissors and needles are dangerous, and the chair may fall. They can play pranks. Recently my neighbor Slava cut off the wire from his computer mouse.

How is that? - Karina was surprised.

Mom Yulya bought a computer, and Slava cut the wire and ran around the room with the mouse, as if he were running a car.

Why did he do this?

He felt sorry for the mouse, why they tied it. I had to explain that computer mice without a tail, the wires do not live.

Was he punished?

No. Slava is a researcher and wants to figure everything out himself. You cannot be punished for this. We bought a new mouse and gave the old one to play with. Slava still plays, it turned out to be convenient to carry by the wire.

Karina laughed, but then remembered.

They still love Dasha more.

Karina, how old are you?

Karina was surprised:

You know it's ten!

I know. How old is Dasha?

So count it. You have been loved for ten years, your sister is only three.

The girl thought:

I’m just older, and they love her more.

Karishka, they love you equally. It’s just that Dashenka, although small, is a big fidget. Take your eyes off her, she'll do something. Do you remember how you once decided to draw in a notebook on the Russian language?

Oh, I barely managed to pick up the notebook then.

Dasha doesn’t understand that they do their homework in school notebooks.

The nanny stroked Karina’s hair:

Your parents need you both. By the way, my grandmother always said: “No matter what finger you look at, every finger is valuable. Whoever gets sick is a pity.”

Karina thought about it.

Meanwhile, the nanny continued to console the sad girl:

You are mom's main assistant! And you will look after your sister if necessary, Dasha adores you! When you go on a visit, he walks around the rooms, looking for them. And so sad - sad, especially when it's time to sleep. He might even cry, he’s so bored.

Karina perked up:

She loves to sleep with me, only my mother will close the door, and my little sister moves in with me.

Mom Yulia told me that in the morning she saw how Dasha took up the entire bed, and you were sleeping on the very edge.

Of course, I'm the eldest!

The eldest, and you love your sister very much!

Karina became wary:

It seems that Dasha has woken up, I’ll go and have a look.

Two minutes later, Karina called the nanny, and she covered her mouth with her hand so as not to laugh.
Dasha woke up and played alone, talking:

I'm laughing! Laughter! I have a laugh in my mouth.

And she laughed loudly.

Nadezhda Stepanovna, can I be the first to enter the room?

Of course, it’s time for Dasha to get up, afternoon tea is coming soon.

1. Ball games

1.1. “I know five names...” - two people stand opposite each other.

First player: throws the ball with the words: “I know five names of birds” (here you need to come up with different options– flowers, animals, city names, girls’ names, boys’ names, etc.). And he begins to list: “Stork”, throws the ball.

Second player: returns the ball, counting: “One.”

First player: "Heron"

The second is “Two”,

The first "Crow"

1.2. We throw the ball up and catch it. Game option: throw the ball and clap, whoever has time to clap and catch the ball the most wins

1.3. We throw the ball on the floor, hitting it with our hands, and count how many times we hit the ball.

1.4. One person hides the ball in the room, the second one finds it

1.5. We knock down different objects with the ball - pins, plastic bottles or cups, soldiers, etc.

2. Role-playing games– if desired, you can use different Masquerade costumes for them, which you can buy or make yourself. For example, dress up as a doctor, salesman or hairdresser.

2.1. Veterinary hospital - we treat various plush animals - we bandage, apply, give medications

2.2. A room from a box - we make a room out of a cardboard box, cut out furniture into it, and place a small doll in it.

2.3. We wash doll clothes, wash and bathe dolls

2.4. We play store: cut out paper money, lay out goods, sell

2.5. We play hairdresser - we do hairstyles for ourselves and our dolls

2.6. Other options - we play anything: taxi drivers, teachers, travel, etc.

When children in the same family do not want to play together, the mother will not have time to do anything. Therefore, they need to come up with games that are suitable for children of different sexes and different ages.

One T-shirt for two

Put one T-shirt on both children at the same time and set them free. It is better to limit the place where they will go to a safe room or even send them to the yard. The children will not be seen for a long time (only heard).

Sumo wrestling

For each child you will need: 2 pillows, 2 daddy's T-shirts, ropes. Create sumo costumes and just have a good laugh. And now the task. Give your children an apple and tell them to try to hit it with their body, like a racket, without dropping it for as long as possible.

One-two-three-freeze

A great game to lift your spirits. Turn on your favorite music and let your kids dance. Then stop the music, the children should freeze in place until the music starts playing again. If anyone moves, he gets a penalty point.

Trousers

Bind balloon To right leg each player's feet and leave a long rope from him. Now the task is to burst the other player's balloon by stepping on it. The one whose balloon does not burst wins.

Friction force

Have the children stand next to each other and hold the balloon between their thighs. Now let them walk around the room without releasing the ball (you cannot help yourself with your hands). If the ball falls, you need to start all over again.

Linked by one chain

Have children sit on the floor back to back with their elbows tied. Now ask them to stand without breaking the position (back to back, elbows tied). It's difficult, but it can be made even more difficult. Ask them to fetch something from another room in this position.

Falling potatoes

This sibling activity is great for kids who are always sharing and competing. Place 2 plates at the finish. Then mark a starting point and give each child a potato (or ball). The task is to hold the potatoes between your legs and place them on a plate at the finish. Just? But no!

Cardboard slide

If you have a staircase in your house, you urgently need to turn it into a slide. You will need: 2 large cardboard boxes, tape. Open the cardboard boxes and place them lengthwise on the stairs. Secure the box with tape on one side only, so children can swing the box away and use the ladder.

Zhmurki

Forgotten, but so great game. One child needs to be blindfolded so that he catches the other. The second one should clap his hands loudly.

Scavenger hunt

Print out a sheet with different objects and ask the children to find everything on the list in the house or yard. The lists may be different, it’s more interesting.

Modern children perceive the phrase “play at home” as a synonym for playing on the computer and spend long hours on it. Almost all parents are unhappy with this. This begs the question: how did we live before, when these “hellish machines” did not exist, what did we play at home?

There is a huge variety of indoor games for all ages, in which adults can participate, or they can “start” the game and leave the children to continue it.

Games for preschoolers

cubes;
adventure games with tossing chips;
domino;
coloring and drawing;
puzzles and legos;

hide and seek;
blind man's buff;
twister (for all ages);

“dress the doll” with inventing and drawing outfits for a cardboard doll and much more.

For preschoolers, you can come up with a quest that will take place directly in the apartment. Hide, for example, cut out stars in various places, and leave a note there with a hint where to look for the next star. For example: “look for something that warms your feet outside in winter” (put a star in a boot or boot), or “look for where things get clean” (in or on a washing machine). Children aged 5-7 years are delighted with such search tasks, and they can be occupied in this way at for a long time. For older children, the tasks can be made more difficult.

Games for schoolchildren

Now there is less time for home games. But sometimes it’s so good to sit with the whole family at the table and play, for example, these games:

Monopoly is a rather difficult but exciting game;
Jenge - tower construction that requires manual dexterity;
mafia - if a lot of people gather.
tic-tac-toe;
sea battle;
table hockey or football;
cards.

Nowadays, hundreds of types of children's art kits are sold in stores. Let the child learn to draw on glass, and then make beautiful stained glass windows on the country veranda.

Late in the evening you can arrange fortune-telling, or tell scary stories, exciting the mind. Just be careful not to overdo it, otherwise your children may have trouble sleeping.

Home theater and other entertainment

Children also love city and association games. Can you remember vintage games: ring, “The lady sent a toilet”, burime, “gallows”. Families are known to love reading books out loud together and playing music at home. What if you organize a home theater? Write a script “on the topic of the day”, assign roles, sew costumes, and when everything is ready, call the guests and gather the whole “auditorium”.

But children will certainly be infected by your enthusiasm, and family leisure will become much richer and more varied than watching TV shows and sitting in front of a computer monitor.

The baby can focus his attention simultaneously on small quantity items. A keen interest in the game arises very easily, but also quickly disappears. Games at this age should be quite simple and very short. Even three to five minutes is enough. Give these minutes to your baby!

How is that? - Karina was surprised.

Mom Yulya bought a computer, and Slava cut the wire and ran around the room with the mouse, as if he were running a car.

Why did he do this?

He felt sorry for the mouse, why they tied it. I had to explain that computer mice without a tail - the wires do not live.

Was he punished?

1) The girl was kidnapped because her older sister was distracted and/or left her unattended.
2) Older sister She organized the kidnapping herself (together with some friend/classmate) and at the beginning leads the cops by the nose, but then everything goes awry and it turns out that her sister was actually kidnapped.

Game "Rock, paper, scissors"

Two people stand opposite each other, with one hand extended forward and clenched into a fist. Having said: “Rock, paper, scissors,” everyone shows with his hand one of the three possible signs. He straightens his palm - it’s “paper”. He puts out two fingers - this is “scissors”. Leaves the hand in a fist - this is a “stone”. The one whose sign is stronger wins. “Paper” is weaker than “scissors” (because they cut it), “rock” is weaker than “paper” (because it covers it), “scissors” is weaker than “rock” (because it can break them).
