Play with me, buddy!
After singing the song, the children run away.
The merman shouts: “Stop!”
All players stop. The merman walks with his arms stretched forward and
trying to touch someone.
Having touched, he asks: “Who is around me?” The one touched responds:
“Bees” (geese, hares, sparrows).
All players come up with a pose for the one they named. Vodyanoy removes

Game “In a forest clearing”.
Suitable for children from 5 to 10 years old.
You can assign roles in advance. Who will play whom, or is it possible to

very fast.
I immediately insert links to music into the game.
Let's begin...
A shepherd plays a pipe in a clearing in the forest, all the trees are dancing

Either a cat or a mouse dances to the music, depending on the animal.
The music also changes.
Since the cat woke up, the mice at this moment turn into different
animals and insects: birds, bunnies, butterflies.
The game has no boundaries. Depending on the mood of the children, you can become
fly up to the cat with beautiful butterflies and make him dance with you, and
you can turn into a wolf and scare the cat. It all depends on that scenario
which will be led by the teacher.
Orientation in space
Game "Along the Pond" Goal: ability to keep a circle and intervals
Children walk in a circle, marching and saying:
“We sometimes walk along the path along the pond, but away from the water, so as not to

Further, it can be diversified at the discretion of the teacher: either fall into
pond, or run, or do some movements, etc.
Repeat 2-3 times.
Game "Balls and Bubbles"
Children are divided into two teams: The balls are large, they try to occupy as much as possible
more space by slowly moving around the hall and rotating around
yourself, trying not to miss the bubbles.
The task of the bubbles is to move quickly and not touch the balls, running into different
nooks and crannies.
Along the way, you can perform various exercises (jumps, jumps,
easy running, gallop).Then the teams change.

Target: to help music teachers, teaching staff, and music directors organize children’s leisure time in the most interesting way.”
Tasks:
Educational – teach dance games to children of younger (middle) age.
Developmental – develop the ability to improvise, showing free dance movements during a dance game.
Educational – cultivate a sense of solidarity and mutual understanding towards each other through the process of participation in dance games.
“Children’s play often has deep meaning.” (Johann Friedrich Schiller )
Everyone knows that in order to develop a sense of rhythm, tact, musical ear and memory in children, it is necessary to early years closely introduce them to musical games.The music accompanying the games should have an incendiary, cheerful rhythm, thanks to which children quickly lift their spirits and increase their physical activity. Musical accompaniment of various outdoor games brings only positive results, as it forms the basis for the harmonious development and promotion of children's health.
The game introduces the child to life, to communication with others, with nature, and contributes to the acquisition of knowledge. It always has a specific goal. In music gamesfor this purpose is the development of intelligence, sense of rhythm and tact, memory, ear for music, voice, creative activity child. Musical dance games promote quick memorization of studied material, intensity of learning, emancipation of children, and getting rid of inhibitions. Music introduces a child to beauty, to a sense of harmony; in a word, it enriches his spiritual world.
Play is an integral part of children's activities. While playing, children remember better and quickly understand what is required of them. The game helps to achieve many pedagogical tasks.
Children love to make things up. In order for them to express and express themselves, they need to be given as much independent time as possible to invent and implement their ideas. The task of the leader of the lesson is only to direct the child’s imagination and impulse, and not to impose his own. Therefore, encourage their imagination and allocate “independent time” to implement their ideas.
I providegame file, which I use when working with children.
« Each game has its own rules." (Johan Huizinga)
"Chain"
Target : explore the possibility of making contact and interacting in a group.
Participants stand in a column and move like a snake. Their hands are in constant grip, which, at the command of the leader, takes various shapes: hands on the shoulders, on the belt, crosswise, by the arms, under the arms, etc.
At the same time, the presenter changes the proposed circumstances: “we move along a narrow path on our toes,” “we walk through a swamp - we step carefully,” “we step over puddles,” etc.
"Freeze".
Target: remove internal pressure, help self-awareness and self-understanding, as well as the release of feelings.
Participants are located throughout the hall in a chaotic manner and perform dance walking on the spot. At the leader’s signal (clap or whistle), they stop and freeze:
Option 1: in different poses, representing a sculpture.
Option 2: with a smile on your face.
The presenter makes a comment, after the second signal everyone continues to move (repeated 5-8 times). The game can be played as a “sculpture competition” and a “smile competition”.
"We are looking for each other."
Target: explore mutual acceptance of each other and contact, develop a sense of quick response.
Participants dance around the site chaotically, greeting all passing group members with a nod of their heads. The music stops - everyone must find a partner and shake hands (repeated 5-7 times).
"Everybody dance".
Target : warm up the body, awaken emotions, relieve muscle tension, create the mood for work.
Participants stand or sit in a semicircle. The presenter gives the task “the right hand is dancing”, “the left leg is dancing”, “the head is dancing”, “the shoulders are dancing”, etc. - participants improvise. At the command “everyone dance” - all parts of the body are included in the work (repeated 3-4 times). The presenter can combine explanation with demonstration.
The game is usually carried out at the beginning of the lesson and can be part of rhythmic gymnastics in dance and game training.
"Round dance acquaintance"
Target: develop group feelings of cohesion, involvement, belonging, and encourage entry into interpersonal relationships.
Participants form a circle and, holding hands, move slowly clockwise. The leader with a scarf in his hand walks in the opposite direction inside the circle, stops opposite any participant (at this moment the circle also stops moving), makes a deep Russian bow and passes the scarf. After returning the bow, she changes places with him. The game can continue until everyone is in the role of leader.
"Curtseys."
Target : help orientation in space, give the opportunity to experiment with movement, realize one’s peculiarity of self-expression, and develop the ability to improvise.
The game recreates the atmosphere of the ball.
Option 1: Participants move at a slow, sedate pace around the site in a chaotic manner, while greeting everyone walking towards them with a nod. A musical pause is a signal that you need to curtsey (repeated 5-7 times).
Option 2: The group lines up. The king (queen) walks along the participants, each of whom, as a sign of greeting, alternately freezes in a curtsy, and stands at the end of the row. The game is repeated until everyone has played the role of king.
“Allow me to invite you.”
Target: opportunity to experiment with movement. Everyone stands in a circle. The presenter invites any of the participants and dances with him in pairs, showing movements that the partner “mirrors”. At the “musical break” signal, the couple separates and invites new participants. Now there are two couples on the site, and so on until everyone is involved in the dance process. Moreover, each invitee “mirrors” the movements of the one who invited him.
"Solo with guitar."
Target : stimulate creative self-expression, release of feelings, develop the ability to improvise, increase self-esteem.
Everyone stands in a circle and moves to the rhythm of the music. The leader with a guitar in his hands goes to the center of the circle and performs a solo, expressing his feelings in the dance, then passes the guitar to any participant. Next, each participant does the same, and he can, if he wishes, interact with anyone from the group. Each solo dance is rewarded with applause at the end.
"Circle Dance"
Target: strengthen children's communication in a team, training dance and musical memory.
Children stand in pairs in a circle facing each other. The presenter shows in advance the movements that will need to be performed to the music, they must be rehearsed without music: side steps left and right for four counts with a blow on the last beat, then four steps back with a clap, then four steps forward and we return to the wrong pair, and, moving to the left - to a new partner (partner). Let's turn on the music and dance!
« Dance of Nature"
Target: coordination of movements, sense of dance space.
All children are divided into pairs and triplets (larger groups if desired), and then, to the same music, the groups each prepare their own dance on a common theme. (for example - sunrise dance, sea surf, clouds, stars, fire, fountain).
It is good that you take the time to watch not only the “process” of each group of children dancing, but also arrange a general “review” of what happened. Have all the children sit in one part of the room, like in an auditorium, and then each team takes turns showing their dance.
"Dance-situation"
Target: development of movement coordination, creative imagination and improvisation.
The game leader prepares cards with situations that will need to be acted out in the dance. Children are divided into teams of two to five people and receive their card. After which the music is played and the teams are given time to prepare. The children’s task is to assign roles, prepare and show a dance-situation in front of everyone, like a small scene.
Spectators look at who got what, and then try to guess and retell what exactly they thought was played out. Example cards: The Priestess makes a fire in the Temple, The Girl collectsin the forest, Traveler climbing a mountain, Fire, etc.
"Fire Dance"
Target:development of imagination, creative ingenuity.
All sit in a circle. They represent Fire and their common task- dance the Bonfire dance. Each person can have their own movements, or they can be “set” by one person, or best of all, by each of the dancers in turn. This - preliminary preparation to the game, after which children can be asked to complicate it.
The whole circle becomes simply travelers who relax around the Bonfire (savages orpirates), and only one of the dancers remains in the center and dances the Bonfire. He has the right to move in all directions like tongues of flame. Travelers try to prevent the Bonfire from burning them. (At the same time, the movements of those sitting around the Fire must remain synchronous.)
Dance without music
Target: encouragement to emancipate, identify emotions, develop dance skills.
Everyone stands in a circle, one person goes to the center. Children must invent and create for dance atmosphere. For example – rain, fire or gust of wind. (The circle can clap, click, stomp, blow, hum, howl, spin, jump, etc. in a certain rhythm.)
The task of the one who remains in the circle is to feel and convey in the dance the state of space that is given to him.
There is another version of the same game: children choose one person and then come up with a Dream for him (fairy-tale circumstances in which he finds himself. In this Dream, everyone dancing can play your role, or you can all dance together.) Task playing – with his dance, without preparation, to react to the circumstances in which he found himself. He can interact with the characters of the Dream or even direct them, the main thing is that the atmosphere of the Dream is “picked up” and conveyed correctly.
"Dance of the Ocean"
Target : development of creative activity, plasticity.
All children are divided into three teams. The best thing is with an unequal number of people. (The first team should have the most people, the second - a little less and the third - no more than three to five people). Then the music is played and all three teams are given the same task - to feel like one with the team and come up with an Ocean Dance.
After preparation, the circles show each of their dances, and then they gather one into another to form a common Ocean of three nested circles. Each group dances its part at the same time.
Introducing children to the world of dance should be pleasant and exciting, but what could be more interesting than the game for a child? Only a game of dance!Dance games suitable for any holiday, and many adults will not refuse such fun. Some dance games can be played for no reason, for example, at the end of a “stressful” workout, you can play with children to relax, thus encouraging them for their diligence.There are no children in the world who do not love fun games and entertainment. And if they are also carried out against a musical background, this contributes to the diversified development of the little person.
As a result, we can safely say that games with musical accompaniment will ensure the development of abilities in children as a whole, and teachers will be the main assistants here.
Childhood is a state of mind. Play, and especially in combination with dance, is an ideal way to plunge into happy carelessness.
dancing with the kids!

- “look around” (exercise for the head);
- “we are surprised” (shoulder exercise);
- “catching a mosquito” (cotton under the knee);
- “we trample the earth” (floods), etc.
The game is usually carried out at the beginning of the lesson and is part of rhythmic gymnastics in dance and game training. Since it is sometimes difficult for some participants to immediately get involved in the dance process, you can start moving in a sitting position.

However, if the child shouts “fire,” the child who receives the ball must name a fairy-tale or mythological animal, such as “Serpent Gorynych” or “Dragon.”
Ice figures
This game is designed for children of any age. All you need is music. Gather the children in a specific place. Have your CD player or stereo ready. Use age-appropriate music. When the music starts playing, the children start dancing. They must dance all the time while the music is playing. When the music stops, they must freeze in dance poses. Whichever child moves or laughs is eliminated from the game. Stop the music for 15-20 seconds, no more. The game will continue until only one child remains. You can give a prize to the winner. 
Dancing around the chairs
This game will play like regular musical chairs, but kids must add dance moves. Before you start playing, be sure to have a few age-appropriate songs ready. You will need one less chair than the number of players. Arrange the chairs in a circle. When the music starts, tell the children that they should dance around the chairs. If they do not dance, but only move, they are automatically eliminated from the game. When you stop the music, children should try to sit on the chair first. A child who does not have time to take a chair leaves the game. Then you need to remove one chair and play again. When there are two participants left, the first one to occupy the remaining chair wins. 
Brook
This dance game is also popular among adults. The essence of the game is simple: a single participant, moving along a corridor formed by dancing couples, must choose a soul mate and stand at the end of the corridor. Left alone, the next participant must choose a partner in the same way. The game is accompanied by cheerful rhythmic music. Participants can slowly move forward.
