When one of the participants approaches the hidden item, the person hiding it mentions its name and says: “warm”. When he moves away from it, he says: “cold”.
–Jumping to the finish line – we put 2 strings on the floor – 1 string marks the start, the other the finish line. The participants throw dice and make as many jumps as they have thrown. The game continues until the first person crosses the finish line;
– How does it move…? – one of the participants shows how the animal he invented moves. The rest of the participants’ task is to guess the animal;

–Hide-and-seek game – is a timeless game whose rules are very simple. One person counts to 20, standing by the wall. At the same time, the others look for a hiding place. After counting to 20, the person looking for hiding places looks for hidden participants. When he sees one of them, he runs to the place where he counted and calls out: “one, two, three + the person’s name”. If she is actually hiding there, she must come out of hiding. To protect themselves from being found, the hiders can go to the place where the hider counted and shout: “one, two three – dibs!”;
