I want to add some ideas for summer camp. I really hope that some of them will seem fresh and relevant to you. If everything can be organized, the children will not only be busy, but also have plenty of fun.
Each camp has its own traditions: excursions, special rituals for getting to know each other, verified numbers for opening and closing shifts, sport competitions and competitive programs. If the action plan is not overloaded with events, feel free to take on the implementation of these ideas.
I tried to describe ideas that do not require large expenditures. Of course, these ideas can only be realized creative people who love their job very much. Fortunately, among the leaders of such a majority. Good luck and have a great summer!
To begin with, write down all the stages of filming a short film by the minute and familiarize yourself with the program of the film day at the evening gathering of the detachment, otherwise it will take 5 hours to come up with a plot. The help of counselors is necessary, you also have a role - the director of the picture.
in the first half of the day:
after noon:
Shooting multiple takes, choice the best option(we shoot everything in a row, it is very difficult to mount, although modern applications for smartphones allow you to do this). The film should not last more than 3-5 minutes. Checked: in such a time you can have time to show the plot, climax and epilogue.
in the evening:
I will definitely someday describe such a holiday in detail, now I will sketch out a few ideas.
Let there be a "mix" of winter and summer games. In order to justify the name "comic", we came up with funny accessories for each stage of the competition. The photos turned out to be very funny, the children then gladly posted them in in social networks. These were funny noses, headbands, ears, wreaths, plastic ties, ear pendants, funny carnival glasses. In other words, the long jump with a red clown nose is no longer just an Olympics ...
It can be a "Brain Ring" or a game in the format "What? Where? When?" If you create the right mood and entourage, getting into the elite club of connoisseurs will be a matter of honor.
There are collections of questions on the Internet according to the age of the participants, there will be no problems with this. For example, .
I can offer my ready-made interesting scenarios, from which it is easy to make a fun program for congratulating summer birthdays. In the camp, they usually gather together all the guys who had a birthday during the last shift.
Such beauty can be done not only on paper, but also on asphalt. We did something on large paving slabs (50x50), which themselves looked like separate canvases. With chalk, you can draw the face itself, but the hair and collar are made from improvised materials. You can use fallen needles, pebbles, leaves, twigs, petals, blades of grass, expanded clay, pieces of bark, etc. Children will come up with it, no doubt! I found something similar on the internet:
Each squad needs to create a costume (if desired, 2-3 costumes) of an alien from outer space “out of nothing” per day. From newspaper and magazine pages, plastic bottles, garbage bags, shreds, adhesive tape and dry branches, etc. You need to write a verbal description for the costume, let it be a defile of aliens in accordance with all the rules.
To be honest, when we held such a competition, the winner was the team that drew and cut out of paper many schemes of galaxies with planets of different sizes, then fastened these individual elements together. It turned out a dress-the universe ...
The second place was given to the dress of the space bride made of white towels. Then he had to be untied and returned to the camp in the laundry, but it was funny. A pair of toilet paper mummies hosted the awards ceremony.
Here, too, the whole point is in lengthy preparation. We give a task for the first half of the day - choice musical composition, staging a mass dance. Usually, simple movements are learned for extras in the background, and several soloists alternately come to the fore and show complex elements.
If you manage to match the accessories (for example, decorate ordinary sunglasses with paper stars or make funny ties), the numbers turn out to be even more spectacular.
In the evening - viewing and evaluation of rooms.
A flash mob is more difficult to arrange, since the dance should come as a surprise to all the uninitiated. Our guys once prepared a very good dance, the timing was good (boring waiting for lunch at the entrance to the dining room), but the music sounded too quiet, as the children used a regular phone. When it became clear that the effect of such a flash mob was too dull, the music began to be played on serious equipment. For the sake of such a case, the camp management will definitely help.

AT recent times parents often choose a quest as an entertainment for a children's holiday. And this choice is fully justified. After all, the kids most of all at the holiday are waiting for entertainment, they want active recreation. And of course, children love to solve mysteries and riddles. Therefore, a series of tasks united by a single goal, theme, always delights children of any age.
Parents, on the other hand, want the quest to be simple in terms of its implementation, it required a minimum of props. This is especially true if the holiday takes place in nature and a quest game for children is planned on the street.
It is this scenario of the quest that we want to present to you. It is designed for preschoolers and elementary school students who know letters, numbers, can read and write. All tasks are simple, they can be solved by a preschooler or a first grader.
The theme of the quest is animals, and tasks are somehow connected with them.
The quest is designed for one team, that is, all participants go through it together, everyone has a common goal, there are no winners and losers, which means that no one will be offended.
Adventure can be organized in the forest, in the park. A prerequisite is the presence of trees, bushes, grass. Locations with tasks do not have to be far from each other, even if they are all in sight. Participants still do not know in advance in what order they will go through the stages
You will need: an envelope, a sheet of paper with crossword puzzle tasks, a sheet with the crossword puzzle itself, a pen, pencil or felt-tip pen.
We hide the crossword puzzle and tasks for it in an envelope. The envelope should be in the hands of the person leading to the start of the quest.
You will need: a file, a printed image of a goat, printed and cut out words and syllables, clothespins or paper clips, on which words and syllables are attached to the bush.
We are looking for a suitable tree, next to which a bush grows, or just a separately growing bush. The file with the image of the goat and the text of the task are hidden in the file. We attach the file to a tree or to a bush with a rope or a button. We attach words and syllables to the bush with clothespins in random order. It is not necessary to hang everything in plain sight to make it more interesting, we hide several of them deep into the bush.
Props: a file, a printed image of a fox, an envelope with a task, several matchboxes or capsules from a kinder surprise, printed tips and a few empty pieces of paper that are hidden in matchboxes.
In the file we put the image of the fox, the text of the task and attach it to the tree.
There should be more boxes than hints. Some will have pieces of paper with hints, and some will have blank pieces of paper. This will complicate the search process and make it more interesting. We hide the boxes carefully, for this it is advisable to look for tall grass. Matchboxes can be replaced with capsules from kinder surprises.
We need: a file with a picture of a cat, an envelope with a printed task, several identical ropes, 9 figures of mice cut out of cardboard. Each mouse has a letter. From the letters you can make the word "treasure".
We attach the file with the image of the cat and the task to the tree. We string the figures of mice in random order onto the ropes - 2-3 pieces for each rope. We wind the ropes around the tree so that it is not too easy to unwind them.
And here is the mouse template:
Props: a file with an image of mice and a task. You will also need a bucket of sand and a lockable box. Treasures will be hidden in the box. You can use sweets, small toys, souvenirs, stickers and other pleasant things as treasures.
We hide the key to the lock in a bucket of sand.
Well, now we are starting our quest for children in nature, the tasks have been prepared and are waiting for the participants.
The facilitator holds an envelope with the first task. The envelope contains a crossword puzzle that needs to be solved. There are only four riddles in the crossword puzzle, the answers to which fit into the cells, and as a result, in the gray cells we should get a key word. It is this word that will lead us to the next task.
Puzzles:
What word did we get? Goat! So we are looking for the next task where the goat is drawn.
The guys run to the tree, on which the file with the image of a goat is attached. The following task is found in this file.
The text of the task: “Dear children! When I was grazing in the forest, I noticed that unusual leaves appeared on the bush. Apparently, they were left here by forest animals. The leaves must be collected and unraveled what is written on them.
Participants collect pre-prepared leaves with words and syllables from the bush. In the words, some syllables are missing, they must be inserted.
The words:
syllables:
We insert syllables into words and get the names of animals:
Host: And now let's see if there is something in common between our animals? Maybe one of them is redundant?
Children should guess that almost all of the listed animals are rodents, except for the fox. If it’s hard for children to guess, the facilitator can ask leading questions: what do all these animals eat, what do they have in common? appearance etc. In the end, the children come to the conclusion that the fox is superfluous on this list. Here it will be the key to the next task. Children are looking for a tree with a picture of a fox.
Host: Let's get the envelope and see what task the cunning fox has prepared for us.
The host takes out an envelope and reads the task: “Hello guys, I'm a fox-sister. Help me in my trouble! I had clues, but I ran, waved my tail and the clues fell apart. Help me collect them!”
Children look for matchboxes with clues in the grass. Then they open each of them and guess what is hidden in them.
And here are the hints:
Presenter: Well, the children, we helped the fox with clues, but what is encrypted in them?
Children try to guess on their own, if they fail, you can tell. All the clues are the food of some animal. Which one exactly? That's right, cat! So now we need to look for a tree with a picture of a cat.
Host: Guys, let's see what kind of task the fluffy cat has prepared for us. We take out the text of the task from the envelope.
Text of the task: “Hello kids! I got lost in the forest and lost all my mice along the way. Help me find them. I know for sure that the mice should tell you something very important, but I don’t know what exactly ... ”
Kids unravel the rope on the tree, removing cardboard mice from it. When all the mice are removed from the rope, you need to make a word from the letters depicted on them. Participants make up the word “Treasure”.
Moderator: What did we get? Treasure! What does it mean? That the treasure is already somewhere close! And who gave us a hint about the treasure! Correctly! Mice! So the next task is looking for mice.
Children approach the tree with mice, the leader takes out a task from the file.
Text of the task: “Hello kids, we are mouse friends! The key to the treasure was hidden in our mink, but the mink fell asleep and now the key is under the sand. Help find the key, and as a reward you will receive treasures from a secret chest.
Participants together look for a key in a bucket of sand. If you want to complicate the task, take several different keys and hide them in the sand. Then the guys will have to sort through several keys before they find the right one.
When the key is found and the chest is opened, the kids are happy to take their treasure!
It is good to organize such a quest when the holiday comes to an end. Sweets found in the chest can complement the sweet table.
The duration of this quest is from half an hour to an hour. The duration of the event will depend on the participants themselves and on the facilitator, in particular, on whether he will prompt them, ask leading questions.
If desired, you can supplement the children's quest on the street with a map. Make such a map based on the location of locations in your area. Although the card does not play a special role in the quest itself, it is rather for the general surroundings.
Almost all the props can be found in any stationery store, which greatly simplifies the organization of the quest. The exception is a bucket of sand and a box with a lock. If it is not a problem to find a bucket and sand, then the box will have to be selected in size, it is possible to decorate it, because it is still a treasure. Well, you have to use dad to attach a lock to the box.
We wish you a lot of fun children's holiday!
Scenario of the quest game "Keys to Summer"
Leading: The summer months turned to our camp - June, July, August. They complain that a catastrophe could happen in their Calendar country. Gone are the ancient summer artifacts, without which the summer may fade away. They were kept in the residence of the Firebird, the queen of the Summer months. All that remains is the magic mirror, through which the Firebird searches for his artifacts. She follows the trail of the kidnappers and leaves her feathers for volunteers who love summer vacations to help her find what's missing. The summer months gave us three feathers of the Firebird, from which we need to start the search for artifacts.
Host: We do not know how insidious the thieves are, so we will split into groups to make sure we find all the missing artifacts.
Division into groups by using summer months (cards with the words "June", "July", "August")
Remember the three main rules for finding artifacts:
The first (blue) route (the starting point is marked on the map):
The second (green) route (for kids):
In a piece of pastry there was a place for the filling,
Inside it is never empty - there is often meat or cabbage.
Third (red) route:
“It is worth the whole day - he is not lazy.
And when the evening comes, the work will start”
At the end of the route, the teams show the found artifacts and express their assumptions about their role.
The facilitator concludes:
Hourglass, which count the summer time
water bottle, which stores an inexhaustible source of moisture
solar disk that reflects in the sky and the sun gets brighter
Wand of Neptune, which restrains the water element and makes it possible to swim in reservoirs.
Book of Transfiguration, which records the signs of summer time
web of dreams, which catches all nightmares and fears and does not allow them to scare tourists on a hike
The game ends with a flash mob in honor of the summer holidays
Quest - game "Adventures in the country of Nangiyale" based on the book by A. Lindgren "The Lionheart Brothers"
