Children may refuse porridge. Sometimes they don't want to go to bed. But the offer to play some game is always perceived with great excitement. Adults can only choose from a huge arsenal of various scenarios the most suitable. Relay races for children are interesting and exciting. After all, participating in them, each child can demonstrate dexterity, skills, resourcefulness. Let's look at a few game scenarios that can be used both at a summer camp and in the yard.

Relay "Notes"

This game contains many surprises and various surprises. The kids just love them. Therefore, if you need to hold relay races for children in the camp, then this game will be a great solution. It can be done outdoors. But if the day turned out to be rainy, then such a competition will be great indoors.

The game is suitable only for children of school age. After all, they must be able to read quickly.

For the relay, stock up:

  • 2 paper bags (it is better that they are opaque, in which case the tasks will not be visible to the children);
  • chalk;
  • pencils;
  • paper.

You need to prepare for the relay race in advance. For this:

  1. The start line is set. It can be drawn on the pavement with chalk, marked with a flag in the grass.
  2. Members of two teams are determined. A prerequisite is an equal number of players in each group.
  3. It is necessary to prepare and write tasks on strips of paper. All notes must be printed in duplicate. Each team receives a package with the same nested set of tasks. But be sure to ensure that all the kids have time to participate in the game.

You can come up with tasks yourself or use the following:

  1. Jump to the tree. Touch the stem. Jump back.
  2. Run to the wall. Touch her. Run back.
  3. Squatting, jump towards the leader. Shake his hand. Jump back up.
  4. Walk backwards to the asphalt path. Write the name of the team in chalk. Also come back.

The rules are extremely simple. The first participants pull out the task from the packages. Having completed it, they pass the baton on. The team that does it faster wins.

Such relay races for children will become a real holiday and will surely cause a lot of positive emotions.

Potato Run Game

The kids will love this relay. For children 5 years old, this game will be an interesting and fun event.

You will need:

  • potatoes - 2 pcs;
  • regular tablespoons 2 pcs.

Be sure to mark the start and finish lines. For each team, mark out the appropriate treadmills. It is desirable that they be at least 10-12 m wide and not exceed 30 m in length.

The first player, on a signal, must run the distance, holding a spoon in which the potatoes lie. At the finish line, he turns around and comes back. It is important not to drop the potatoes. If the burden has fallen, it must be picked up. But at the same time, it is forbidden to pick up potatoes. You can only lift with a spoon. After completing the task, the first player passes his burden to the next. The relay continues.

The team that completes the task first wins.

You can complicate the relay race scenario for children somewhat. For example, at the finish line, holding potatoes in a spoon, sit down 5 times. And only then come back.

Big leg competition

Contest "Blind Pedestrian"

You can come up with a variety of relay races for children on the street. In the summer, the game "Blind Pedestrian" will become quite interesting and original. To prepare for the relay, you need to create a route with various obstacles on the selected section of the street.

Give the participants time to carefully examine the situation. After that, blindfold the players one by one. The child must blindly follow the route.

During the competition, use the timer. This will determine which of the participants completed the route the fastest.

Back to back competition

It is necessary to remember about physical development. Therefore, it is recommended to select sports relay races for children. A popular and favorite game is the following.

All players must split into pairs. For the relay you need a ball. You can use volleyball or basketball.

The first pair of each team stands in front of the starting line. The players turn their backs to each other. At the level of their waist, a ball is put between them. The guys should hold it with their elbows, folding their hands on their stomachs. In this position, you need to run a few meters. Run around the obstacle planned in advance, and then return back. In this case, the ball should not fall. If this happens, then the pair has to start its movement all over again.

After successfully completing the task and returning to their team, the players help place the ball between the backs of the next two people. The relay continues.

If the team has an odd number of children, then one child can run twice.

Relay "Funny kangaroos"

Children always like outdoor sports games. With this in mind, be sure to plan funny relay races for kids. This competition will allow them not only to run and jump, but also bring a lot of joyful impressions.

To play, you need to divide the children into teams. Each group will need one small item. It can be matchboxes or small balls.

The first player of each team stands in front of the start and holds the chosen object between his knees. On a signal, he must jump with the ball (box) to the mark, and then return back in the same way. The item passes to the next participant. The competition continues.

If the ball or box fell to the ground, then you need to start your journey all over again.

Every team should give their members a warm welcome.

Game "Tractor"

What other relay races can be held for children on the street in the summer? The kids really like the "Tractor" competition.

For the relay it is necessary to divide all the children into two teams. One of them will be "Cargo", and the other "Tractor". In each team, one of the strongest players is selected. These children will play the role of "Rope".

The essence of the competition is as follows. The "Tractor" team must, with the help of the "Cable", pull the "Cargo" to its side, which in every possible way resists this. The group that completes the task most successfully wins. If the "Cable" broke, then the victory is assigned to the "Cargo" team.

Children should change roles from time to time.

Competition "Turnip"

Fairy relay races are most suitable for children 7 years old. If you diversify the competition with characters from your favorite stories, then the kids will join the game with great pleasure.

Each team consists of grandfather, grandmother, granddaughter, Bugs, cats, mice. 2 stools are placed at a certain distance. Repka sits on them. This is a child who can wear a hat with the image of a root crop.

On a signal, the grandfather starts the game. He runs to the stool with Turnip. Runs around him and returns to the team. An old woman clings to him like a "train". The next round they run together. Then the granddaughter joins them. This is how the competition continues. The mouse joins last. When the whole company runs up to Repka, she must join the mouse. The group returns to the starting position.

The one who first "pulls out the Turnip" wins.

You can come up with a variety of relay races for children on the street. In the summer, the game "Blind Pedestrian" will become quite interesting and original. To prepare for the relay, you need to create a route with various obstacles on the selected section of the street.

Give the participants time to carefully examine the situation. After that, blindfold the players one by one. The child must blindly follow the route.

During the competition, use the timer. This will determine which of the participants completed the route the fastest.

It is necessary to remember about physical development. Therefore, it is recommended to select sports relay races for children. A popular and favorite game is the following.

All players must split into pairs. For the relay you need a ball. You can use volleyball or basketball.

The first pair of each team stands in front of the starting line. The players turn their backs to each other. At the level of their waist, a ball is put between them. The guys should hold it with their elbows, folding their hands on their stomachs. In this position, you need to run a few meters. Run around the obstacle planned in advance, and then return back. In this case, the ball should not fall. If this happens, then the pair has to start its movement all over again.

After successfully completing the task and returning to their team, the players help place the ball between the backs of the next two people. The relay continues.

If in a team odd number children, then one child can run twice.

Relay "Funny kangaroos"

Children always like outdoor sports games. With this in mind, be sure to plan fun relay races for the kids. This competition will allow them not only to run and jump, but also bring a lot of joyful impressions.

To play, you need to divide the children into teams. Each group will need one small item. It can be matchboxes or small balls.

The first player of each team stands in front of the start and holds the chosen object between his knees. On a signal, he must jump with the ball (box) to the mark, and then return back in the same way. The item passes to the next participant. The competition continues.

If the ball or box fell to the ground, then you need to start your journey all over again.

Every team should give their members a warm welcome.

What other relay races can be held for children on the street in the summer? The kids really like the "Tractor" competition.

For the relay it is necessary to divide all the children into two teams. One of them will be "Cargo", and the other "Tractor". In each team, one of the strongest players is selected. These children will play the role of "Rope".

The guys should become as follows. The two players who are "Rope" in the competition join hands. The rest of the children line up in a "train" on either side of them. Each player holds the waist of the one in front.

The essence of the competition is as follows. The "Tractor" team must, with the help of the "Cable", pull the "Cargo" to its side, which in every possible way resists this. The group that completes the task most successfully wins. If the "Cable" broke, then the victory is assigned to the "Cargo" team.

Children should change roles from time to time.

Fairy relay races are most suitable for children 7 years old. If you diversify the competition with characters from your favorite stories, then the kids will join the game with great pleasure.

In such a relay race, 2 teams consisting of 6 people participate. The rest of the children temporarily become fans. Each team consists of grandfather, grandmother, granddaughter, Bugs, cats, mice. 2 stools are placed at a certain distance. Repka sits on them. This is a child who can wear a hat with the image of a root crop.

On a signal, the grandfather starts the game. He runs to the stool with Turnip. Runs around him and returns to the team. An old woman clings to him like a "train". The next round they run together. Then the granddaughter joins them. This is how the competition continues. The mouse joins last. When the whole company runs up to Repka, she must join the mouse. The group returns to the starting position.

The one who first "pulls out the Turnip" wins.

Game "Fold letters"

Remember that not only sports relay races for children on the street are in demand. The guys really like the competition for ingenuity, logic, thinking.

This game will require a large group of children. It must be divided into teams. Choose a leader. He must climb higher above the players. To do this, you can use the elevation on the playground. He will need to look down on the players.

The competition is as follows. The host calls any letter. Each team must lay it out by itself. At the same time, players strive to complete the task as quickly as possible.

The winner is the team whose letter has developed in a short time and with high quality.

Competition "Gardeners"

So that the guys do not get bored with the same games, periodically change relay races for children. In the summer, you can interest children in the Gardeners competition.

Children are divided into 2 groups. They stand behind the start line in columns. Instead of a finish line, 5 laps are drawn. Each team is given a bucket. It contains 5 vegetables.

On a signal, the first player runs with a bucket to the drawn circles. Here he "plants" vegetables. In each circle you need to place one product. The player returns with an empty bucket and passes it to the next player. The second participant must "harvest". He passes the full bucket to the third player. The competition continues.

The team that finishes the game first wins.

When choosing relay races for children, one can recall those competitions that have been popular for a long time. We are talking about competitions in bags.

To do this, 2 teams of players line up in a column. The distance between them must be at least three steps. Start and finish lines are marked.

The first player gets into the bag. Supporting him at waist level with his hands, he must, on a signal, run to the finish line, run around the obstacle placed there and return to the team. Here he gets out of the bag and passes it to the next participant. The competition lasts until all players have run the distance in bags.

The first participants to complete the task are the winners.

Team Tournament

The relay game for children, consisting of several competitions, will bring great pleasure. It is suitable for kids of all ages.

To determine the winner, you can use the following method. For teams, 1 potato tuber is allocated. After each tournament, the winner is determined. One match is stuck in his potatoes. After all the relay races, the “needles” are counted. The team with the most matches in the potato wins.

Tasks for tournaments:

  1. Use matches to lay out the given phrase. Children are given a certain amount of time for this.
  2. Carry the box, holding it on top of your head. For such a tournament, it is necessary to designate the start and finish lines. If the matchbox falls to the ground, then the child needs to stop. Picking it up, he again puts it on top of his head and continues his movement.
  3. Two matchboxes are placed on the shoulders, like shoulder straps. Each player must overcome the distance with them from start to finish and return back.
  4. The box is placed upside down on the fist. With such a burden, you need to get to the finish line and return to your team.
  5. For team members, 3-5 boxes of matches are scattered in designated places. They need to be collected quickly. In this case, the matches must be assembled correctly. All gray heads face the same direction.
  6. From matches it is necessary to build a "well". You have 2 minutes for this task. The winner is the team that builds the highest "well".
  7. For the next task, you will only need the outer part of the box. Such a "cover" must be fastened on the nose. Participants must cover the distance with it from start to finish, and then pass it to the next player. In this case, the hands should not be involved.

Relay races for children are a great way to diversify the leisure time of children. In addition, not only kids enjoy such competitions, but also adults who take part in or watch the competitions.

In the swamp
Two participants are given two sheets of paper. They must go through the "swamp" along the "bumps" - sheets of paper. You need to put a sheet on the floor, stand on it with both feet, and put the other sheet in front of you. Step over to another sheet, turn around, take the first sheet again and put it in front of you. And so, who will be the first to pass through the room and come back.

The players are divided into two or three teams of 10-20 people and line up at the back of each other's heads. Each team receives a thick rope (rope), which all players take with their right or left hand, evenly distributed on both sides of the rope. Then each of the participants of the attraction, depending on which side of the rope he is standing on, takes the ankle of the right or left leg with his right or left hand. At the signal of the leading centipede, they jump forward 1-12 meters, holding on to the rope, then turn around and jump back. You can run just on two legs, but then you should put the guys very close to each other. The victory is awarded to the team that first ran to the finish line, provided that none of its participants unhooked from the rope while running or jumping.
draw the sun
Teams take part in this relay game, each of which lines up in a column one at a time. At the start, in front of each team, there are gymnastic sticks according to the number of players. In front of each team, at a distance of 5-7 meters, put a hoop. The task of the relay race participants is to alternately, on a signal, running out with sticks, spread them out in rays around their hoop - "draw the sun." The team that completes the task faster wins.
Train
A starting line is drawn in front of the teams standing in columns, and 10-12 meters from each of them, racks are placed or stuffed balls are placed. At the signal of the host, the first numbers from each team run to the racks, run around them, return to their column, but do not stop, but go around it and run to the racks again. When they cross the starting line, the second numbers join them, clasping the first by the belt. Now the players are running around the rack together. In the same way, third numbers join them, and so on. The game ends when the whole team, representing the train cars, finishes. In the game, a large load falls on the first numbers, so when the game is repeated, the participants in the columns are arranged in reverse order.
Ball in the ring
The teams are lined up in one column one at a time in front of the backboards at a distance of 2-3 meters. At the signal, the first number throws the ball around the ring, then puts the ball down, and the second player also takes the ball and throws it into the ring, and so on. The team that gets into the ring the most wins.

Running with three balls
On the start line, the first one takes 3 balls in a convenient way (football, volleyball and basketball). On a signal, he runs with them to the turning flag and stacks the balls near it. It comes back empty. The next participant runs empty to the lying balls, picks them up, returns with them back to the team and, not reaching 1m, puts them on the floor.
- instead of big balls, you can take 6 tennis balls,
- instead of running - jumping.

Ball race underfoot
Players are divided into 2 teams. The first player sends the ball back between the spread legs of the players. The last player of each team leans over, catches the ball and runs forward with it along the column, stands at the beginning of the column and again sends the ball between the legs apart, etc. The team that finishes the relay the fastest wins.

Snipers

The team that pulls out the turnip the fastest wins.

Relay with hoop and rope
Teams are built as if they were in a relay race. The guide of the first subgroup has a gymnastic hoop, and the guide of the second subgroup has a jump rope. On a signal, the player with the hoop rushes forward, jumping over the hoop (like a jump rope). As soon as the player with the hoop crosses the start line of the opposite column, the player with the rope starts, who moves forward by jumping the rope. Each participant, after completing the task, passes the inventory to the next player in the column. This continues until the participants complete the task and change places in the columns. Runs are prohibited.

Porters
4 players (2 from each team) stand on the start line. Everyone gets 3 big balls. They must be carried to the final destination and returned back. It is very difficult to hold 3 balls in your hands, and it is also not easy to pick up a fallen ball without assistance. Therefore, porters have to move slowly and carefully (the distance should not be too large). The team that completes the task the fastest wins.

Three jumps
The participants are divided into two teams. At a distance of 8-10 m from the start line, put a rope and a hoop. After the signal, the 1st, having reached the rope, picks it up, makes three jumps on the spot, puts it down and runs back. The 2nd takes the hoop and makes three jumps through it and the rope and the hoop alternate. Whose team can do it faster, that one will win.

ball race

It is necessary to make sure that the ball is passed with straight arms with an inclination back, and the distance in the columns would be at least a step. Complication: before passing the ball, toss the ball up, catch it after the clap and pass it over the head to the next participant.

Passed - sit down!
The players are divided into several teams and line up behind a common starting line in a column one at a time. Captains stand in front of each column facing it at a distance of 5 - 6 m. The captains get the ball. On a signal, each captain passes the ball to the first player in his column. Having caught the ball, this player returns it to the captain and crouches. The captain throws the ball to the second, then the third and subsequent players. Each of them, returning the ball to the captain, crouches. Having received the ball from the last player of his column, the captain lifts it up, and all the players of his team jump up. The team with the fastest players to complete the task wins.

relay race with rope
The players of each team are built behind the common starting line in a column one at a time. A turntable is placed in front of each column at a distance of 8-10 m. On a signal, the guide in the column runs out from behind the starting line and moves forward, jumping over the rope. At the turntable, he folds the rope in half and intercepts it in one hand. He moves back, jumping on two legs and rotating the rope horizontally under his feet. At the finish, the participant passes the rope to the next player of his team, and he himself stands at the end of his column. The team whose players finish the relay more accurately and earlier wins.

unload the car
Children are invited to unload "cars" with "vegetables". Cars are placed against one wall, and two baskets are placed opposite them against the other wall. Near the baskets, one player stands up at a time and, on a signal, they run to the cars. You can carry vegetables one at a time. Vegetables should be the same in all machines, both in quantity and volume. Other members can then "load" the machines. In this case, the players stand at the cars, run to the baskets on a signal and transfer the vegetables to the cars.

planting potatoes
Teams line up in front of the starting line, as in the previous game. At a distance of 10-20 steps (depending on the size of the playground and the age of the players), 4-6 circles are drawn in front of the columns one and a half steps from one another. Those standing in front are given a bag filled with potatoes (according to the number of circles).
On a signal, the players with bags, moving forward, put one potato in each circle. Then they come back and pass the empty containers to the next players. They run forward to collect the planted potatoes and, having filled the bags, return to the third team number, who again runs forward to “plant potatoes”. After a run, the player stands at the end of his column. All team players are required to complete the layout and collection of potatoes. At the same time, they must pick up the fallen potatoes, put them in a bag, and only after that continue to move. The team that manages to finish planting and harvesting potatoes faster than others is considered the winner.
Instead of circles, you can put small plastic hoops in front of the teams, replace potatoes with tennis balls. If there are no bags, you can take bags, baby baskets, buckets.

hoop running
Players line up in pairs. The first pair has a gymnastic hoop in their hands, and in front of the teams there is an object (stuffed ball, flag, town) that must be run around. On a signal, the first two players in the teams move forward inside the hoop, holding it with both hands. Having run around the object, the first couple hands the hoop to the next couple, and she herself stands at the end of the column. The relay race ends when all the players have completed the exercise and the hoop is again in the hands of the first pair.
If there are a lot of people who want to play, you can arrange a run in hoops in threes, while the sequence of changing threes remains the same.

needle eye

Circuit relay
All players are divided into three to five teams and stand in rays from the center of the circle (like the spokes of a wheel), turning left or right side to the center. Each beam line is a team. The players standing farthest from the center of the circle hold a baton (town, tennis ball) in their right hand.
On a general signal, the extreme players with the relay run in a circle from the outside past the rest of the "spokes" to their team and pass the stick to the player waiting from the edge, and then run to the other end of their line (closer to the center) and stand there.
The one who received the baton also runs around the circle and passes it to the third number, etc. When the one who starts the game is on the edge and an object is brought to him, he raises it up, announcing the end of the game by his team. The rules forbid during the game to touch the players standing in the “spokes”, to interfere with those who make runs. The fallen stick is picked up and the run continues. Penalty points are awarded for breaking the rules. A relay race in a circle, just like an oncoming one, can be carried out with a basketball dribbling. You can change the direction of movement, i.e., repeating the game, give the task to the participants to run in a circle in the other direction.

Jumpers
Children are divided into two teams and lined up in columns one after the other. At the signal of the leader, the participants of each team perform a jump, pushing off with two legs from a place.

Divide everyone who wants to participate in the relay game into two equal teams and place them in single file at the start line, each against its own row of flags. Give the first numbers in the teams a ball.
Everyone will have to make a run with the ball, leading it with their feet in front of themselves along a broken zigzag line between the flags. Is it easy, the players will be convinced of own experience. When running fast, you should try not to let the ball go far from you. This skill is very important for a football player. Having run with the ball back and forth, the players kick the ball to the next numbers of their team. So one by one, all the players of the team run between the flags. Some will do it faster, others slower, which will decide the outcome of the competition. If the player made a mistake, he returns to the place where it happened, and from there he dribbles the ball again.
