Winter dictates its own laws. But she is also preparing a wonderful gift for us - amazing winter entertainment for both children and adults!

Snow sculptures

If during the winter you did not fashion at least one tiny snowman, did not build a fortress in the yard, an ice hut, did not build a hill, then you can consider that the winter was in vain. That is why all people without exception like to try to make something out of the snow on those days when it is sticky.

Such simple winter activities have received quite strong development today. Nowadays, many talented sculptors are engaged in snow modeling at a quite professional level. There are entire cities carved out of ice, with churches, trees, benches and monuments!

Well, mere mortals, not heavily burdened by the talents of sculptors, can be content with sculpting snowmen and fortresses. In schools, youth winter camps and kindergartens, it is appropriate to hold competitions for the best building or sculpture made of snow. With great pleasure these winter entertainments are perceived by people of any age. The winners can be awarded a snowman sculpture inminiature made of cotton or wool.

Sports game-war game

Here, wonderful fortresses are built, snowballs are made and stacked in piles. Such winter entertainments for children and teenagers as a game of "war" come into force.

But, if you think about it, the trivial version of this fun is a rather dangerous activity. After all, the “shell” can hit the face. And the winner is almost impossible to determine. But you can arrange a sporting event with slightly modified rules, in which you will need fortresses, and snowballs, and the ability to hit the target.

You just need to put a flag inside the fortress. The warriors themselves should not throw snowballs at the enemy, but try to destroy the fortress and knock down the rivals' flag. You should also make a “solid strip” through which you cannot cross. Each team will have their own forbidden trait.

Throwing snow shells - we have fun, we are very happy

Children really like the competition of throwing snowballs at the target. For such a game, it is recommended to place a plywood shield with concentric circles drawn on it with score markings.

On sports grounds where there is a basket for basketball, it is quite possible to arrange a game of "basketsnowball". If several groups take part in the competition, you need to mark the shells of each team. For example, Koloboks will insert red Lego parts into their snowballs, Carlsons will use blue ones, and Behemoths will use yellow ones. Then the scoring will be much easier.

Here we are rushing down the hilldown - hey, downstairs, watch out

You can't describe winter activities without mentioning the roller coaster. This is a favorite activity of children in the cold season. The older generation remembers that before you could ride down the mountain either on your own bottom, or by placing a piece of cardboard, plywood, or even a briefcase down, or on a sled, on your feet. Therefore, often these children's winter activities ended rather badly: clothes suffered, shoes were torn, noses were broken, even arms and legs were broken.

Today, the industry offers consumers special devices for skiing from the mountains: "ices" of various sizes, shapes and colors, "cheesecakes" and miniature plastic skis. The safest are inflatable circles with a bottom, which allow you to reduce the impact force during a ski jump, keep even the smallest and most awkward "passenger" inside, preventing him from falling out during the descent.

And the slides themselves, for the most part, do not arise spontaneously, but are made specially, according to approved drawings, from wood, metal or plastic. In such structures, everything is thought out to the smallest detail: the sides along the length of the descent and on the stairs for climbing up, covered gazebos on the site, pipe-like labyrinth transitions from one structure to another and other devices.

There are two horses that carry me on the ice

The most exciting winter games and activities are related to ice skating. This includes hockey, speed competitions, and figure skating. On the skating rinks you can organize a whole theatricalsubmission!

And if the presenters use costumes of full-length characters, play collective games with the children, then the event will turn into a real fairy-tale adventure!

Sledding is fun in winter - no one will drive the child home

You can arrange winter sports activities with a sled. In addition to the usual skiing from a hill covered with packed snow, there are other ways to use them.

For example, the competition "Whose horse is faster?" or "Toboggan run". The rider and the "horse" take part in it. If adults and children participate in the competition, then there may be several riders. And if only children compete, then there may be several "horses".

Scenario of winter entertainment "Zarnitsa"

This large-scale event is usually held in family vacation spots. Of the participants who wished to play Zarnitsa, teams are formed, which can be as many as you like. Each of them comes up with a name for themselves and chooses a distinctive symbol from the ones proposed by the organizer: a hat, scarf or jacket of a certain color.

In advance, for each group of players, you need to think over the route with the end point. This is exactly the place where the flag of this team is hidden. After the latter takes it, she must return to the starting point and hoist the trophy on the flagpole. Whoever does it first gets the winner's prize.

At the start, the captains receive a route sheet with a plan. The team then sets off. It should be noted in the route sheet the sections that need to be skied or driven on a sled. It is also necessary to encrypt the places where sports equipment is hidden.

And in a sporting event there is a place for a comic performance

An event can turn out to be very interesting if all routes at different times cross one point - for example, the hut of Baba Yaga or the Cave of Thieves. Specially trained artists interestingly diversify the competition by requiring team members to perform any number of amateur performances or some action: light a fire in the snow, put up a tent, chop wood. For this, the team receives some item - a "key" or a hint where you can find, say, skis to make a further journey.

The final stage of the event can be a collective meal, but not in the dining room, but in an old wooden house. Dinner itself can be cooked in a camp kitchen on the street or on a fire, in front of the children and even with their direct participation.

It should be noted that such winter activities for children, together with adults, usually have many of the most positive reviews. In the families that took part in the event, the problem of fathers and children disappears. Spending time together brings family members closer.
