- Place the felt cheese in the middle of the playing field so that all participants can reach it
- Give everyone one rodent figurine from the cat and mouse board game kalachi and four matching cards.

Mice and cheese
The game includes a delicious piece of cheese.
Progress of the game
The main task of the game for mice is to eat cheese and stay alive. The cat's goal is to dine on mice. The game begins with a roll of the dice. They have two options: a cat or a mouse. If a gray rodent falls out, everyone remains in their place. The cat is intently watching its prey, the mice happily eat the cheese. The dice are rolled again.
What if a scary red face fell out? Then everyone starts playing Cat and Mouse for themselves. The cat's task: to attack the mouse company as quickly as possible, trying to eat as much of the running deliciousness as possible. The mice, in turn, should immediately run away. Only the fastest participants will be able to win each horse.
For each animal eaten, the cat receives one card.
For each animal eaten, the cat receives one card. They are given out by the participant whose pet the hunter managed to feast on. When the predator has finished chewing its lunch, everyone returns to their starting positions, including the reincarnated mice.
The second game is no different from the first. The same player remains in the role of hunter. If his reaction in the round turns out to be faster than the dice, or rather the dice have not yet shown the cat icon, and the participant is already catching mice, then he must pay a fine in the form of one previously earned card.
The role of the cat passes to another player if the previous one was unable to feast on any rodents. Then the hungry pet looks for a new owner who can feed it. The glass is passed to the player sitting clockwise. You can only catch mice on a piece of cheese: when the animals run away from it, they become immune to bites.
Outdoor game “Mice and cat”
Goal: to teach children to run easily, on their toes, without bumping into each other; navigate in space, change movements at the teacher’s signal.
Children sit on benches - these are “mice in holes.” On the opposite side of the playground sits a “cat”, whose role is played by the teacher. The “cat” falls asleep (closes his eyes), and the “mice” scatter around the site. But then the “cat” wakes up, stretches, meows and begins to catch “mice”. The “mice” quickly run away and hide in “minks” (take their places). The “cat” takes the caught “mice” home. When the rest of the “mice” hide in the “minks,” the “cat” walks around the area one more time, then returns to its place and falls asleep. “Mice” can run out of the “holes” when the “cat” closes its eyes and falls asleep, and return to the “holes” when the “cat” wakes up and meows. The teacher makes sure that all the “mice” run out and scatter as far as possible from the “minks”. “Minks,” in addition to benches, can serve as arches for crawling, and then the children—the “mice”—crawl out of their “holes.”
Outdoor game “Birds are flying”
Goal: to teach children to jump from low objects, run in all directions, and act only on a signal; teach kids to help each other.
Children stand on a small elevation - a board, cubes, bars (height 5-10 cm) - on one side of the playground. The teacher says: “The sun is shining outside, all the birds are flying out of their nests, looking for grains and crumbs.” Children jump from heights, “fly” (run, waving their arms - “wings”), squat, “peck” grains (knock their fingers on the ground). With the words of the teacher: “It’s raining! All the birds hid in their nests!” - the children run to their places. Before the game, the teacher must prepare low benches or such a number of cubes and bars that there is enough for everyone who wants to play. They should be located on one side of the playground at a sufficient distance from each other so that the children do not jostle and can freely take their places. We need to show children how to jump off softly and help them rise to a higher ground after running. When repeating the game, the signal can be given in one word: “Sunny!” or “Rain!” Children need to know what signal to do what.
Outdoor game "Horsemen"
Goal: to teach children to run without bumping into each other, to speed up or slow down their movements, and to navigate in space.
A group of children (5-6 people) stand at one edge of the playground. The teacher gives everyone a stick 50-60 cm long. Children sit astride the stick and gallop to the opposite side of the playground, pretending to be “horsemen,” trying not to bump into each other or touch objects or equipment located on the playground. During the game, the teacher can invite the “horsemen” to ride fast and slow, as well as in different directions. When children learn to run fast, you can organize competitions. A task is proposed: who is most likely to ride a horse to a certain place on the site or path.

Purpose of the game
Score as many points as possible.
Preparing for the game
You can play on a table or on the floor (the floor is even more convenient). Each player places in front of him one card with the inscription “pi-pi” (the remaining cards with this inscription do not participate in the game). This card symbolizes the beginning of the chase for the player: the path of his cat is built from it. All other cards are shuffled and laid out face down, in a pile, somewhere in the middle, so that it is convenient for everyone to take them.
Game process
The game consists of several rounds and lasts until all four cards with the inscription “meow-meow” are gone. The youngest player says: “Pee-pee!” - after which the cat chases the mouse. Players take strictly one card from the pile (without observing the order). Each player places the card he took next to the last card he played. The first card is applied to the initial one from any side, and each subsequent one is applied to the previous one - from the side in which it points. For example, if the arrow on the last card points “up”, then the next card is placed on top of it, and if “left-right” - then to the left or right of it (at the player’s request). The longer the path, the better! But he must not enter himself or the adjacent path (unless he can touch it), and he cannot shift or remove previously laid out cards. The player can put the taken card aside and use it at any time until the end of the round (however, there is a risk that she will never play).
End of the round
As soon as one of the players plays a card with the inscription “meow-meow”, he shouts: “Meow-meow!” This means the cat has caught the mouse and the round ends. All constructed paths are checked: if a player makes an error, then his entire path is canceled as a penalty (cards from it are considered set aside). Each player returns all the cards set aside to the general pile, and puts those laid out on the way into a “victory” pile, from which his points will be counted. Then the next round begins according to the same rules, only the initial phrase: “Pee-pee” is pronounced by the participant who completed the last round.
Outdoor game "Mousetrap"
The children's outdoor game “Mousetrap” is one of those that is popular even in kindergartens for junior and middle groups. It will also be a great activity for an older group of children on vacation in a large company.
Process
- From a group of children, two kids are selected who will be assigned the role of a mousetrap. You can choose by twisting the skittle or bottle.
- The mousetrap children clasp their hands together and raise them high above their heads, forming arches, and begin to sing a song:
“Oh, how tired the mice are!
They gnawed everything, ate everything!
Beware of the cheat!
We'll get to you!
Let's set up mousetraps,
And we’ll catch them all at once!”
- While the song is being sung, the rest of the children who have received the role of mice must run under the hands of the mousetrap children.
- At the end, when the song ends, unexpectedly for the mice or at the signal of the presenter (teacher), the mousetrap slams shut, the clasped hands are lowered and the mouse that did not have time to slip out of the trap is captured. You can use music, after which the mousetrap children will catch their rivals. Having fallen into a trap, the rodent clasps its hands with the mousetrap children and thus it gradually grows.
- The game continues until there is only one mouse left, which becomes the winner of the competition. Teachers or parents, at this moment, verbally highlight and encourage the fastest and most dexterous.
- In the game, you can use masks as props to make it more interesting. In the absence of ready-made masks, you can cut out ears from black paper with your children. The preparation process itself is already quite exciting, and can be a good distraction for kids.
