Fun bus ride. Games, entertainment in the car, train, bus and plane. The game "What we took with us"

Greetings, dear readers! You are going on vacation for the first time with a child and do not know what he will do during the move? Or are you traveling as part of an accompanying group to and still have no idea how to kill time on the train so that the children are not bored and interested? Or do you already quite often spend holidays with children, but every time the question is the same: what to do with the children on the road, so that “both the sheep are safe and the wolves are full”?

“Now there are a lot of different devices,” you say, “just turn on the cartoon, and you can forget about the child for an hour or two, and sometimes more, until the battery runs out.” I agree, there is a way out. And yet, can we save the eyesight of our children, because they strain their eyes during the whole school year at school, and at home too, sitting at the computer. Let's try to remember from our childhood what we did on the train or on the bus, because in our time there was no electronic entertainment. I propose to discuss what games can be used on the road for children.

Lesson plan:

Word games for kids

Word games are the most convenient to use while traveling, as there is no need for additional attributes. You can invent a theme yourself, since we describe everything around with the help of words. These can be your favorite "Cities", as well as "Animals", "Plants" and many others, when players say names starting with the last letter of the word spoken before them. Such games develop thinking and expand vocabulary.

Another variant of the word game can be the search for synonyms and antonyms from the series "beautiful - attractive" and "cold - hot" that develop the child's lexical level.

Children from the age of 7 can play games with words, and there are no age restrictions, because you can choose any topic for an intellectual competition.

Voice games

“We develop a command voice” and develop the creative component. These games include various song contests. Of course, they are not very suitable for buses and family train trips when there are other passengers nearby. But in a personal car or during a group trip to the camp, they are very appropriate. Usually, for such voice contests, a topic (or word) is given, on which it is proposed to recall various musical works. Whoever sang last is the winner. Cheerful mood will be provided. Take part in music games Can children and 8, and 10, and 15 years. And adults are often not averse to having fun!

Another game that develops acting skills of our children is the so-called “Speak like me!”, when a child or several children are asked to repeat a given word with different intonation and in a different manner. You have no idea how artistic our children can be! You can fantasize and offer not only words, but also phrases, poems and tongue twisters, thereby training your memory and speech apparatus.

Paper games

The passed stage of our school life: in almost every notebook one could find a square painted with dots, numbers, explosions. And the mischievous boys, right in the classroom, until the teacher sees, smashed their classmates on sheets of paper in a cage. Remember? I propose to pass on this invaluable experience to my children. A couple of pencils and a checkered piece of paper is all you need.

The well-known "tic-tac-toe", "tanchiki" and " sea ​​battle", which require logic and tactics from the players, or "gallows" and "nonsense", which require a wealth of knowledge - choose what you and your child would like today to pass the time.

Children of all ages can play these games. True, they are still more suitable for traveling by train, since there is a table where you can sit comfortably and not shake as much as in a car or bus. Although a person adapts to everything, there would be a desire.

Fun Five Games

From all the variety various games I chose my top five. Perhaps it includes your entertainment too.

  1. "Drawing for memory". Several people can play, you will need a piece of paper and felt-tip pens or pencils. The first player draws a head on the sheet. It can belong to a person, an animal, fairy tale hero and even a monster. The only condition is that the other players do not see whose head it is, so we close our palms from prying eyes. Then the first player tucks a piece of paper so that the next participant does not see the drawing, but only the border from where to continue - the end of the already drawn part.
    The second and subsequent players in turn draw the remaining elements according to the same rules. What they will come out to, who they will belong to - depends on the imagination of the participants in the drawing. As a rule, the resulting creature turns out to be very funny. At the end of the process, you can all together come up with a name for him and use it either as a prize for the winner in other competitions, or as a pet that brings good luck to the house, or as a trophy-symbol for the detachment in the camp for the upcoming shift.
  2. "Palms". Not only can this game be played junior schoolchildren, who is over 7 years old, but also younger kids who are already familiar with numbers. We will need two pieces of paper in a cage, one for each player, on which you need to circle exactly the same palms. Inside each palm, numbers are randomly drawn from 1 to ... as you agree.
    The first player sets the number that needs to be found in his palm, and while the second one is looking for it, he fills the cells with crosses on his piece of paper behind the outline of the palm. On the next turn, they change places, the second guesses the number for the search, and he also fills in his empty field. The winner is the one who quickly sketches his leaf with crosses around his palm. The game will teach you to navigate in numbers and concentrate.
  3. "Gallows". A little bit not very humane in its name, the game, but neither in our time, nor now usually did not cause bad associations, everyone wanted to “hang” each other. Its essence boils down to guessing the intended word for a certain number of moves. The first and last letters of the hidden word are written, and dashes are placed instead of the rest. The player calls the letter, and if it is in the word, then it is entered instead of a dash. If there is no letter, it is written next to the word as spoken, and they begin to draw the gallows.
    First, a vertical line, then, with the next miss, a horizontal line to make a “G”, then a rope, head, torso, legs, arms follow. If the word is not guessed, and you are "hanged", then you lost. Different words can be guessed, but usually children from 8-9 years old begin to participate in such games, when they are already familiar with the Russian language. Otherwise, the kids are very offended when their letter “A” is not accepted in the word “sailor”.
  4. "Sea battle". Do you love naval combat as much as I do? Everyone played everywhere. Let me remind you that you need two sheets in a cage, on which squares 10 * 10 are drawn. On the horizontal and vertical sides, the cells are numbered and marked with letters so that at their intersection it is possible to name the desired cell. Each player in one of his squares places the ships in any order, the deck corresponds to one cell.
    A total of 4 single-deck, 3 double-deck ships, 2 - with three decks and 1 four-deck. When arranging, you need to leave empty cells between objects, you can’t draw closely. The other square is designed to mark where the player was aiming and which enemy ships he destroyed, so as not to repeat the same steps out of forgetfulness. The goal is to blow up all the opponent's objects, for which the coordinates are called, for example, "5g". In case of a hit, they say “wounded” if the ship still has cells, or “killed” if the object is completely destroyed. Shooting continues hit, and in case of a miss, the move passes to another participant. Children of 9-10 years old usually start playing "sea battle".
  5. Associations. This game . The host thinks of a word, and the players, through leading questions, must guess what it is or who it is.
    Believe me, it is often quite difficult to guess the riddle of a child! Such tasks will teach your children to correctly formulate questions in order to get the necessary answers to them.

Of course, the list of road games can be endless.

And yet there is also board games, which will make the trip super-interesting, I wrote about them.

There are four more in this video. interesting games, which were not mentioned in the article, as well as more about the gallows game.

What games do you know? Share information in the comments and a link to the article in social networks let's play together!

Happy travels!

Always yours, Evgenia Klimkovich!

I'm driving a tank
I see a cow
In a hat with earflaps
With a healthy horn!
Hello, cow

Two rows in the bus act as two teams.
If the counselor raises his right hand up, then the first team shouts "Goal!". If the counselor raises his left hand, then the second team shouts "Pass!".
If both hands are raised, both teams shout "Hurrah!".

- Who remembers the names of the counselors?

You have already met us, and now we want to get to know you. Therefore, at the expense of “three”, everyone will loudly shout out their name (the counselors are trying to guess how many Masha, Dim, ... are in the detachment; That’s your name is Fedya, no ?, But what? Masha? Everyone remembered that this is Masha, not Fedya, ... )

Now we will roll through the rows toilet paper. Let everyone rewind himself as much as he wants. Rewind? Well done! Now we fold the paper with an accordion. Well, now, unbending our accordion, we will talk about ourselves at the suggestion for each bend. I wonder whose story is longer? When you start your story, don't forget to introduce yourself.

Two rows in the bus act as two teams. For any letter (for example, A), called the leading one, children should name the things that they want to take with them on the road (watermelon, nuclear-powered ship, apricot, alligator ...).

(The name of the camp and the text of the letter are taken as a sample and can change as you like)

Now we will all write a letter together about our journey to the Zvyozdochka camp. More precisely, it has already been written, but only all the adjectives and adverbs from it have disappeared somewhere, and the letter has become boring and not interesting. What adjectives can fill it? You will shout out the words you think you need, we will fill in the gaps, and then we will see what we get.

The interior of the bus is divided into two teams.

“A competition is announced for the best crew of the ship. To do this, we need to know a lot of songs. Whichever team sings the most will be the winner! But the main thing is that the song should contain words about the sea, sailors, sea ​​ships».
This game is very variable and its conditions depend on your imagination. These may be songs about Moscow, there may be songs in which there are numbers: “a million, a million, a million scarlet roses”; "... the girl from apartment 45"; "... once a word, two words ..."
A more difficult version of this game would be a Q&A game, where the team takes turns taking a question from one song and an answer from another.

For example:
"What are you standing, swinging? .."
"... Shakes, shakes the wave of the sea."
It is possible that one team asks a question in song form, and the second, again, chooses an answer from the lyrics.

The counselor plays the role of a leader, and the guys are divided into two teams: one is “Petka”, the other is “Vaska”.

On a sunny meadow
There is a green house.
And on the porch of the house
A cheerful gnome is sitting.

"Petka":

Pe-e-tka! I have a shirt in glue-e-tku!
I came to you, de-e-tki,
To eat candy-e-tku!

"Vaska":

Wow! I have pants in the go-o-shku!
I came here from a fairy tale
Because I'm good!

All this is carried out several times, the counselor points to one or the other team, and at the end of the game - to both teams at once, and one of them must shout over the other.

Relay on the bus - this really happens.

It is possible to transfer a matchbox at speed along the rows. Or you can put a cardboard box with a pencil on each row, and each participant must write a word of four to five letters on the cardboard thrown along his row. The calculation takes into account the number of letters and time.

Cardboard and pencil can be used to play acquaintance.
To do this, the guys must write their names on the cardboard. After the end of the game, the counselor announces statistical data: how many Light, Igor, Len, Sasha, etc. we have.

The guys on the bus are divided into several "sectors" and they are given the task:

Now I give you a word that should be present in the song. So, the word - (for example) - SEA. A minute is given for “thinking” ... the minute is over.

team number 1 - the guys sing ... "Moooooore, moooore ... bottomless world ..." - ACCEPTED.

team number 2 - "And there, beyond the seas, where snowstorms rage, there lived a girl with a strange name, and it often happened: in her dreams she sailed into the blue sea in her dreams ... Scarlet sails, Scarlet Sails…" - ACCEPTED!

team number 3 - We need seas and oceans, we don’t need walls and barriers ... (modern song - anyone knows except the team - it’s suitable ...), etc.

The team with the most songs wins.

You can find out if we forgot to take something important with us to the camp. To do this, you ask questions like: “Have you got a towel?”, “ Good mood did you get it?”, “Did you get your eyes?”, “Did you get the fried hippopotamus?”, and the guys will answer them in unison. If it turns out that someone took a yellow submarine or spare knees with them to the camp, ask how they managed to pack them in a suitcase where it is sold, whether it is possible to see, measure and whether there is a permit to transport this valuable item on the bus. Just do not turn your comment from a joke into a sarcastic one.

Invite the children to guess your name, and then the name of your father, from which they will deduce your middle name. And then they can try to guess your favorite song (name a popular and familiar song so that you have a chance to hear it performed at your request), your favourite dish etc.

Methodological development on the topic: "Games on the way to the camp"

Bus games .

The road to the camp can be difficult for children, because they have just separated from their parents. Especially the younger ones require attention at this time, although playing on the bus with the older ones can be in a good wayпознакомиться.

What will I take with me on the road?

Two rows in the bus act as two teams. For any letter (for example, A), called the leading one, children should name the things that they want to take with them on the road. (watermelon, nuclear-powered ship, apricot, alligator ...).

Goal - over.

Two rows in the bus act as two teams. Right hand raised up - the first team shouts "Goal". Left hand, raised up - the second team shouts "Past", both hands - two teams shout "Hurrah".

Married couples.

And now we will be engaged in drawing up "married couples". We warn you that He and She could be spouses ONLY according to the laws of the Russian language, such as, for example, Hungarian and Hungarian, peak and peak, windmill and windmill, pop and popka.

1. He is a bird, she is a hollow cone. (raven - funnel)
2. He is a gas, she is a lecture. (couple - couple)
3. He is a resident cold country She is sharp and cold. (finn - finca)
4. He - makes sounds, she - a section of mechanics. (speaker - speaker)
5. He is Caucasian, she is a dance. (Lezgin - Lezginka)
6. He is on your face, she is in the army. (mouth - company)
7. He is a priest, she is part of the stove. (confessor - oven)
8. He is a famous science fiction writer, she requires proof. (Lem - lemma)
9. He is a substitute for cork, she is a dog. (bug - bug).

Musical football.

Question - answer, one team asks a question, with a line from the song, the other team answers, also with a line from the song. You can not ask a question - answer, but ask a topic, for example, songs where the word star is used.

sailor.

The interior of the bus is divided into 2 teams. A competition is announced for the best crew of the ship. To do this, you need to know a lot of songs. Whichever team sings the most will be the winner. But the main thing is that the song should contain tins about the sea, sailors, sea ships. (there may be songs about Moscow, flowers, etc.).

A more difficult version of the game is the "Question - Answer" game, where one team takes turns taking a question from one song, and the answer must be from another. For example: "What are you standing, swinging? ..."
"... shakes, shakes the wave of the sea."

Relays.

Relay on the bus - this really happens. It is possible to transfer a matchbox at speed along the rows. Or you can put a cardboard with a pencil in each row, and each participant must write a word of four to five letters on the cardboard put in his row. The calculation takes into account the number of letters and time.
Cardboard and pencil can be used to play acquaintance. To do this, the guys must write their names on the cardboard. After the end of the game, the counselor announces statistical data: how many Light, Igor, Len, Sasha, etc. we have.

What did I see?

This game is about attention. In it, the guys must count the number of illogical judgments in the poem that the counselor will read:

I saw a lake on fire
A dog in trousers on a horse
On the house a hat instead of a roof,
Cats that are caught by mice.

I saw a duck and a fox
That a plow plows a meadow in the forest.
How the little bear measured shoes
And like a fool he believed everything.
S. Ya. Marshak

The village was passing by a peasant,
And from under the dog the gate barks.
The horse grabbed the whip
Whipping a man
black-browed cow
He leads the girl by the horns.
K.S. Stanislavsky

Because of the forest, because of the mountains
Grandpa Yegor was driving.
He's skewbald on a cart
On an oak horse
He is belted with a club -
Leaning on the sash
Waist boots

Petka-Vaska.

The counselor plays the role of a leader, and the guys are divided into two teams;
one - "Petka", the other - "Vaska". Then they all sing together to the tune of "Smuglyanka":

On a sunny meadow
There is a green house
And on the porch of the house
A cheerful gnome is sitting

"Petka! I have a plaid shirt! I came to you kids to eat candy!"
or
"Vaska! I have polka-dot pants! I came from a fairy tale, Because I'm good!"

All this is carried out several times, the counselor points to one or the other team. At the end of the game, the counselor points to both teams at once and one of them must shout over the other.

D The journey to the camp usually takes at least an hour and a half. And if all this time just sitting and watching out the window, she definitely won’t seem funny. What can you do with this time?
Already on the way to the camp, the leader should begin to form a detachment. And most importantly - for the time of the road you need to come up with some kind of entertainment. Forward - to work!
We choose team competitions that can be held without getting up.
We prepare some chants or noisy games.
We put on a plot outline (for example, an adventure trip) - and you can start.
This is how the journey of the junior detachment to the snow kingdom went one winter.

Farewell to parents

Chants: “Moms, dads, goodbye, don’t be sad goodbye”, “Goodbye, our parents, your tormentors are leaving.”

Who remembers the names of the counselors?

- You have already met us, and now we want to get to know you, so at the expense of "three" everyone will loudly shout out their name.
The leaders try to guess how many Mash, Dim, Sing and other names are in the squad; check how the children remembered each other's names.

What did you bring to camp?

Haven't forgotten anything?
- Did you get a towel?
- Have you forgotten the good mood?
Did you get your eyes?
– toothbrush did you get the pasta?
“And the fried hippopotamus?”
“Yellow submarine?”
- Have you forgotten your spare knees? (It turns out how it was possible to pack them in a suitcase where they are sold, whether there is permission to carry this valuable item on the bus.)

polar explorers

- Now, while we are on the bus, we will be polar explorers getting to the snow kingdom. And I and the second leader (name) will be the heads of the expedition.
See I have a map North Pole, and along it we will move to the Snow Kingdom. This row is one expedition and your flag is blue, and this row is another expedition and your flag is green. Whoever gets to the checkpoint faster, he puts his flag on the rights of discoverers.
Everyone is ready to go into this dangerous and difficult journey? - Yes! - Then let's go!

Polar explorers, hands up!
The counselor explains: “Since the north is very beautiful, but at the same time very dangerous place, you all must be able to clearly and quickly carry out our commands so as not to die ”(different commands are offered at the choice of the leader).

Koltsovka - what you need to take on an expedition to the North Pole.
The words of the counselor: "Now let's check if you took everything, did not forget anything, or maybe put something extra."
Expedition list.
The leader suggests: “Let's check if everything is ready and make a list of the expedition. Here are the sheets for you, you need to write your name and pass it on.

Koltsovka - types of movement in the snow.
The counselor says: “What do you think, how will we have to get to the Snow Kingdom: skis, dog and reindeer teams, a snowmobile, an all-terrain vehicle, a sled ...”.

code words.
A voice acting like a radio: “Attention, attention, a snowstorm is coming. We pass the location of the next item. Take the numbers 37 and 52 kh-kh, pi-i-i ... And then each expedition heard its own, but separately this information will not give anything, so you must convey to each other what you heard. But because of the snowstorm it is very difficult to shout to each other.”
“Shi-ro-ta”, “dol-go-ta” - each syllable is shouted at the same time.

The verse is an echo.
Counselor: “According to the map, these are the coordinates of the mountains, but due to a snow storm, visibility is very poor, so we have to shout all the time; and as soon as we hear the answer, then it is an echo, and we have reached the mountains.
What time is it? (hour)
How much will it be in an hour? (hour)
No, not true, there will be two, (a)
Think, think head, (a)
How does the rooster sing in the village? (uh)
Yes, not an owl, but a rooster! (uh)
Are you sure it is? (as)
But really how? (as)
Is it an elbow or an eye? (eye)
But this is what you have? (nose)
What is twice two? (two)
You cannot be trusted at all. (zya)
Are you always good? (Yes)
Or only sometimes? (Yes)
Tired of answering? (No)
I allow you to be silent.

Maritime terms.
The counselor addresses the children: “We have reached the mountains, and beyond the mountains a boundless sea awaits us, covered with thick ice. And before continuing the journey, I will think of words for you, and you will have to translate them into the marine language.
- According to the sea cook - this is ... (cook).
- Underwater rock (reef).
- A place where a ship can sink to the bottom for a long time (stranded).
What is the name of the window on the ship? (Porthole.)
- Ship brake (anchor).
- What helps ships find their way in the fog? (Lighthouse.)
- God of the sea (Neptune).
- A bagel that does not sink (lifebuoy).
- Striped like zebras, climb ropes like monkeys (sailors).

Pass the lifebuoy (ball) to the drowning person and back.
The guide can play it this way: “You have to be very careful on the ice, otherwise you can fall through the ice. Here is a dangerous place, we pass it carefully ... The last one failed, we urgently need to save it.

Fish.
The counselor asks the children: “While the victims were under water, they managed to see a lot of fish. What fish did they see?

Verse-counter.
The counselor addresses the children: “We are great, we have crossed the sea. And now you can take a break. I'll read you a poem."
Earring fell into the snow
And behind him Alyoshka,
And behind him Irinka,
And behind her is Marina,
And then Ignat fell,
How many guys are in the snow? (5 people)

Koltsovka - animals of the north.
The words of the leader: “Now tell me, what animals of the North Pole did you see during our trip?”

Secret word.
Conceived words (for example, " Northern Lights”), the children must whisper from end to end of the bus, but so that the second leader (spy satellite) does not hear anything.
The counselor may preface this competition with the following words: “Our journey is coming to an end, and you must report on the radio to big land secret information that you learned in the last paragraph. But this must be done in such a way that spy satellites do not intercept this information.

Pie is a mystery verse.
- And, finally, on the occasion of such a joyful moment as the end of our journey, I propose to bake a festive cake.
I wanted to have a ball
And I have guests...
I bought flour, I bought cottage cheese,
Bake crumbly...
Pie, knives and forks here,
But something the guests don't...
I waited until I had the strength
Then a piece...
Then he pulled up a chair and sat down.
And the whole pie in a minute...
When the guests arrived
Not even crumbs...

And now the Snow Kingdom is visible!
Counselor: “Let's, when we arrive at the place, arrange a noise orchestra (children are invited to shout “cheers”, clap their hands, stomp their feet, squeal with joy, throw their hats up). Now let's practice!"
Here are a few more competitions that are always successful on the bus:
Pass in rows:
- write your name on the balloon and pass it on;
- tie a knot on a rope and pass it on;
- unwind a roll of toilet paper without tearing it, and then wrap it back;
- cottons; you need to put your hands on the backs of the seats with your palms up, and, having received a clap from the person sitting behind, pass the clap to the person in front;
- general handshake - everyone on the bus should join hands;
- a bell so that it does not ring.
Throwing balloons from row to row for a certain time. At the end of this time, whichever side had the most balls, that team lost.
To sing songs.
Launching balloons, airplanes from the last rows.
Riddles, puzzles, shifters, funny questions.
Question answer. Questions are on one sheet of paper and answers are on the other. Children take turns pulling out the question, then the answer and read what happened.
Story with adjectives. Some story is compiled in advance, for example, about the camp to which we are going. But instead of adjectives, we leave spaces. On the bus, children are asked for any adjectives and are written in the empty places in the story. Then the result is read.

Don't forget to dress contests in some kind of canvas, that is, come up with a "legend", because no one is interested in just competing in throwing balls or unwinding toilet paper!

You and your team are going on a trip. Your path lies to the camp or on an excursion, you travel by bus or train. To make the trip unforgettable, you can pick up a few road ideas. Of course, if this is not the first day of the life of the guys in the camp, then on the road they themselves can organize the games they like or sing their favorite songs in unison. But when the guys are just going to the camp, when they get bored, this is where the counselor gets down to business.

"Outside the window" The counselor calls any letter of the alphabet, the children take turns listing objects with this letter that they see outside the window. Two rows compete. The leader raises his hand to indicate whose turn it is to answer. If in seconds he does not receive an answer, then the row that last named the word gets a point. You can play several rounds of the game.

"Song rehash" Competition between a team of guys sitting in the first half of the bus and in the second. The counselor calls any letter of the alphabet, the teams take turns singing songs starting with this letter. If a team fails to sing a song within 10 seconds, the last team to sing the song gets a point.

"Pass the Fruit" Divide the two rows into two teams. Let an orange go in one row, and an apple in the second row, which team will return the fruit faster, that one gets one point.
Then you can put a larger object, you can let it go from one row to another, through the last seat, only to protect the point to those who are the first to pass someone else's object. It is interesting to pass a small match or a pea, or pass only with the left hand.
It is also possible to transfer from one person to the second, according to this principle: the first passes to the neighbor, the latter to the second row, then in the second row the child passes to the neighbor, and so on.
Another option, the counselor walks through the cabin from beginning to end, the point is that the subject should already be at the end when the counselor comes there. You can walk slowly or vice versa run and set your own conditions due to this.

"Secret sign" The counselor invites the children to come up with a proprietary system of secret signs for the squad. These should be gestures that convey some information, or hide a specific command. The counselor offers examples: a raised right hand - a command to establish silence, snapping fingers - thunderous applause, clap - friendly laughter, open right palm- a greeting from a member of the squad, etc. In pairs, the guys come up with signs, in fours (with close neighbors) they clarify. Next, the fours offer the detachment 1-2 characters each, the most successful ones are selected by voting. Further, throughout the road, the leader can periodically show signs, checking how everyone has learned them.
Involving children in gaming activity you need to start from the first minutes of acquaintance with them.
- Ladies and gentlemen! We are glad to welcome you on board of our comfortable liner flying on the route Krasnodar - camp "Zarya" (for example). You are welcomed by a friendly crew led by the pilot of our liner (bus driver) Ivan Ivanovich and flight attendants Masha, Anya and Sveta.
Let me introduce you to the rules of conduct in the cabin of the liner and how your trip will go.
Dear passengers! Our route runs through one of the picturesque areas Krasnodar Territory.
While traveling you can:

  • joke and laugh (within the bounds of decency);
  • play funny Games, but do not flirt;
  • ask flight attendants and each other questions you are interested in;
  • stare out the window and enjoy the views (if there is time);
  • get to know each other.
  • be sad and cry;
  • move around the cabin of our liner;
  • throwing unnecessary items out of the bus windows;
  • to stick one's own and other people's limbs out of the window, including their heads (otherwise there will be nothing to stick out tomorrow);
  • make faces to oncoming and overtaking vehicles (to avoid accidents);

distract the crew commander from his work.
Questions to be asked:
Are there any among you who may be rocked by our journey? Do you need our help? Are you embarrassed to ask for help when you need it?
"Ear - nose" Now let's get on right hand by the nose, and with the left by the right ear, try to quickly clap your hands, and then take hold of the nose with the left hand and the left ear with the right hand. Try to do this several times in a row.

"Sailor" The interior of the bus is divided into two teams. A competition for the best musical team is announced. To do this, we need to know a lot of songs. Whichever team sings the most will be the winner! But the main thing is that the song should contain words about the sea, sailors, sea ships. This game is very variable and its conditions depend on your imagination. These may be songs about cities, there may be songs in which there are numbers: “a million, a million, a million scarlet roses”; "... the girl from apartment 45"; "... once a word, two words ...".
A more difficult version of this game would be a Q&A game, where the team takes turns taking a question from one song and an answer from another.

"What are you standing, swinging? ..""... Shakes, shakes the wave of the sea."
It is possible that one team asks a question in song form, and the second, again, chooses an answer from the lyrics.

"Relays" Relay on the bus - this really happens. It is possible to transfer a matchbox at speed along the rows. Or you can put a cardboard box with a pencil on each row, and each participant must write a four to five letter word on the cardboard thrown down his row. The calculation takes into account the number of letters and time.
Cardboard and pencil can be used to play acquaintance. To do this, the guys must write their names on the cardboard. After the end of the game, the counselor announces statistical data: how many Light, Igor, Len, Sasha, etc. we have.

"What I saw" This game is about attention. In it, the guys should count the number of illogical judgments in the poem that the counselor will read: I saw a lake on fire, a dog in trousers on a horse, A hat on the house instead of a roof, Cats that mice catch. I saw a duck and a fox plowing a meadow in the forest with a plow, like a bear cub trying on shoes, And like a fool he believed everything (S. Ya. Marshak).
Or: Because of the forest, because of the mountains, Grandpa Yegor rode, He is on a piebald cart, On an oak horse, He is belted with a club, Leaning on a sash, Boots on a stir-fry, A jacket on his bare foot.
Or: A village was passing by a peasant, And from under the dog the gate barked, The whip seized the horse, Whipping the peasant, A black cow Leading the girl by the horns.
You can end the trip like this: Attention! Attention! Our liner arrives at the final destination of our journey - to the camp (tell a little about the camp). Dear passengers! We ask you to stay where you are until the ship comes to a complete stop. Don't forget your belongings in the salon! After entering from the liner, a big request is to wait for your flight attendants at the gangway.

Good luck and enjoy your holiday!
