Children like "rpg games" in which you throw a die and make a move. There are many such games in stores and on the Internet. We decided to make a similar game handmade with children. It occurred to me idea: make a cube not with numbers, but with six colors, respectively, and I pasted multi-colored squares on the track (I took a small wooden cube from children's constructor, pasted over with colored paper and tape). What color falls on the top face of the cube, the player goes to the square of that color. I made several "crossovers" - a few steps forward or backward - as you're lucky. There are several squares - "pass the move" and "additional move"! I made a path, and the guys helped to stick multi-colored squares, houses, residents, trees. Then our "city" We covered it with duct tape for durability. The heroes were toys from kinder surprises. Recently, a second similar a game! In the games that the children made do it yourself, they

otovy play from morning to evening!

Good day, dear colleagues! Creativity, as you know, has a healing power. When you master something, you relax, meditate.

Hello, friends! So I decided to make a board game for children with my own hands. I wanted the game to be multifunctional, useful.

Eco-developing environment is a developing subject environment that can be used for educational and recreational purposes.

The children who came to Kindergarten at the age of 2-3 years, fine motor skills of the hands are very poorly developed and sensory concepts are practically not formed.

Pichkaleva Irina Ivanovna MADOU "Kindergarten No. 21", Kungur Game - walker "Connoisseurs of the Great Patriotic War» - The rules of our game.

This puzzle is made by hand! Used: gift bag(both sides, one for the puzzle itself, the other for the sample, for the base.

This work was carried out by children of different age groups. Mixed execution techniques: drawing, appliqué. Purpose: To introduce children to the new.

Project work "Cartoon with your own hands" IX Regional Competition research work and projects. Project theme: “Cartoon with your own hands” Completed by: a pupil of the eldest.

Greetings, my dear friends! And I want to ask a question right off the bat. Share how you tear off your kids from computers? As for me, this is a whole skill. After all, you don’t want to say “no, you can’t”, and you don’t need to, but to encourage, it’s worse for yourself. So what did you come up with and invent? And I will talk about my method. But only this is not my invention, but handed down to us by our ancestors, these are do-it-yourself board games for children. To the aristocracy, a simple and hitherto valid method! After all, he is the game! What all our crumbs love to do so much!

Play something to make fun for yourself, and even with your own hands! Really, it's a great idea! I have been using it for several years now and have not been disappointed! After all, there are no restrictions, there is no uniformity. Everything is always like the first time! Great!

What do I pay attention to so that the game is interesting and useful for kids? And what materials do I use?

What are we playing?

Our favorite board games are tic-tac-toe, table basketball and football. We also do adventure games, but they don’t cause so many emotions in my son. Let me remind you, he is 4.5 years old. And yes, but, nevertheless, these games are played with pleasure.
Of the purchased favorites: janga, sea ​​battle, lotto and checkers. So far, I'm not very good at playing checkers, since the teacher (that's me) also plays as a beginner.
So, our favorite games that we made ourselves in the video:

What you should pay attention to:

• the age of the crumbs;
• interests;
• opportunities.

Why is it important? Because for some, these will be exciting and developing projects, while for others, they will be primitive, like learned material, which no one will like and which should not be allowed.

Guys, do you know what is interesting for your little one personally? It would be good to take into account the needs of children. Someone is crazy about trains, others need bunnies and monkeys. And the third ones need to be taught to count in the game or check according to the traffic rules, how much they know the rules, so that we remain calm when they go somewhere on their own.

We are proud of our kids! Their ability is the occasion for our little boast. And do-it-yourself strategy board games are a way to unlock the potential of the baby and develop it.

Handy materials

May I know your opinion? Friends, what kind of craft material do you prefer?

Probably, I will express the general point of view that this is the one with which at home it is easier for you yourself, or more interesting to do something.

And I will make one more point. Sometimes I don't take new or valuable material. In the course is even junk. Something that happens to be kept, or in the expectation that I can make something useful out of it. For example, plugs from plastic bottles or from wine, an old chessboard whose pieces are confused, buttons, pebbles, etc.

Well, when we collected everything: an understanding of what we have to design with the kids, for what and for what purposes. We found out what materials we can use. And don't forget good mood. Now it remains to get down to business.

Ideas for creativity

If the game is for crumbs 2-3 years old, then the material that we will use should be simple. For older adults, you can think of something serious to entrust them with some of the work that they can handle. Some projects will be didactic, we have to make not only a construction, or a “battlefield”, but also come up with rules, draw up a plot.

Go?!

Table basketball

Great game for kids ages 4 and up. Interesting for adults too. Very cool toy, easy to make. But very useful. We have been playing it for a month every day for an hour with the whole family. For boring winter evenings - great idea!

labyrinths

All kinds of labyrinths can be drawn by yourself, you can print it. You can play with your finger, you can play with a little man or Lego animal, or you can even drive a small car. Of course, the roads then need to be drawn wider. Depending on the difficulty, the game can be suitable for both a 2-year-old and a 13-year-old child.

Find your color

What board games can be made with children with their own hands for the little ones? At 2 years old, the crumbs perfectly distinguish colors. This will be the task of the child.

We take paper of any density and draw 2 lines in the middle, horizontal and vertical. We draw each of the four parts with our own color: blue, red, green, yellow. Here is the work for kids. The little ones can help us. Give them felt-tip pens or colored pencils (preferably soft ones) and let them work.

And even with baby cards, he can help us. In order for the cards to be dense, you can either take cardboard or glue the sheet by folding it 2 or 3 times. Decorate. The size of a card can either be the same as its color box or smaller.

Target. The peanut must put a card on the field of the same color.
Another game with buttons for kids on the video:

Puzzle

Making a puzzle that will be interesting for the whole family to collect is very, very simple. We take a picture, glue it to the cardboard. The drawing can be anything, from a simple emoticon to a map of your country, and cut it into pieces. If everything is clear with the emoticon, the parts will be of arbitrary size and shape, then the map can be cut into regions.

Target. Find a place for each piece. If this is a map, it will be informative for preschoolers to put all the parts together and at the same time get to know their country.

A world map can be bought at stationery, pasted on cardboard or whatman paper, cut. The older the children, the more parts. You can first print a card on a regular sheet and play with a small one. Click on the picture to print it will enlarge.

Our planet for why children 4-5 years old

You can just take a map and print bright pictures of animals and cut them out and lay them out across the continents. So the kid will already have an idea about his planet before school. My son (4.3 years old) just started asking what is a country and who is a king. I'm thinking of making a game like this for him.

The map can also be printed on A4. I also found animals for printing, when printing, uncheck the box: stretch to fit the frame.

Puzzles for babies 1-3 years old

If for kids 2-3 years old, then you can make puzzles from 2-3 parts. Some mothers make beautiful felt grooves.
Master class on such wonderful video puzzles:

Walker-walker

Great option for a 5 year old. And it's fun to draw, and it's great to play later. But here you need rules and a plot.

Love to draw? Then part of the work, smaller, you "have to" do it yourself. The rest - entrust the child. What you need for the craft:

• Field;
• Chip;
• cube;
• Cards.

Chips. By the way, participants can also make chips for board games with their own hands, as well as everything else. We make them out of paper. We twist a small bag, in the shape of a cone, glue the edges and cut off the excess along the bottom. It turns out a stable figure. It can be decorated.

Older children will be interested in experimenting and cutting figures out of wood. Although, this material can be used more simply. Cut a thick branch into pieces, remove the bark from it and paint over.

It's even easier to make chips out of felt. 2 small circles the same size sew together. Between them, make a gasket of any material. Circles-chips are needed the same size, but different in color.

Field. Decide on its size. It will depend on how many participants you are counting on and on the age of the crumbs for whom this fun is happening ( small patterns and pictures for kids are not clearly visible, and are not interesting).

How to draw a field? Everything is simple! Since this is a walker, we will need a “road” along which our character will walk. And parking lots, let's call them cells. Some of them will be "with prizes". For example, “forward”, “backward”, or “wait a little, wait”. But this already applies to the rules. The main thing is not to overdo it. Such "prizes" should not occupy more than 1/3 of all cells.

Another small addition. Such cells can be different size and shapes: round, oval, triangular, square, and at least a cloud, if it fits the theme of the game. You can make them yourself, draw or cut printed signs and stick them.

And don't forget, everything should be fun and colorful!

rules. They directly depend on the age of the crumbs. They will look like part of a fairy tale: they lived ... and they needed to go ... they decided to get to the right place in a race. But there were obstacles in their way ... Perhaps the baby will be interested in writing this story with you.

cube. And let's try to make a cube for board games with our own hands. We cut out a small cross from paper, consisting horizontally of 3 identical squares, and vertically of 4. We number them. Horizontal - 2, 3, 4. Vertical - 1, 3, 5, 6. Point "3" - the intersection. Do not forget that around, on three sides of the cubes "2", "4", and at the end of the cube "1" there should be additional strips for gluing.

Cards. These are reminders of what to do when you hit one or another stop cell. Cards can be for a specific cell, or, in random order, taken from a pile. You decide. Write it down in the rules.

Long before the advent of computer toys, people played board games. Although they were not so colorful and realistic, they gave lively communication and could brighten up any feast.

Today we invite you to return this good old tradition and make a board game with your own hands in order to spend more than one pleasant evening in exciting adventures with the whole family!

A handmade board game solves several problems at once:

• develops imagination, horizons and fine motor skills baby;
• allows you to create your own playing field and characters;
• if the game is expandable, it will keep the child busy for the next few years;
• distracts the child from the computer and tablet, brings your family closer.

First and most important point any game is its idea.

When starting to create your own board game, you should have a rough idea of ​​what it will be like. For example, you can do more modern games: desktop "walker-walker", "strategy" (military or economic) and "quest" or simpler classic games - chess, tic-tac-toe, various variations of loto and dominoes.

Decide in advance on the scale of the game. So, if the game is intended for a baby, then it is recommended to make the game details large and play on the floor. Younger schoolchildren and teenagers will already be much more interested in board games on paper and playing at a large table.

Think over the sketches of the playing field, chips, cards in advance, purchase unusual game dice, come up with banknotes and do not forget about other little things.

For games with a child, you can also attract his favorite toys.

What board game can you make yourself?

Preferably if the subject future game will depend on the interests of the child and his hobbies. Most often, a board game for preschoolers becomes a desktop "walker" or "quest" with the characters of your favorite fairy tales and cartoons. On their way there are various obstacles that must be overcome to complete the mission.

Idea 1: Tic-tac-toe

Tic-tac-toe - perfect for both children and adults. The game trains qualities that allow you to calculate the logic of your opponent. In adulthood, these qualities are simply irreplaceable!

It doesn't have to be crosses and toes.

Chips can be made from absolutely any materials, and the field can be made on fabric or cardboard. For girls, a field in the shape of a big heart and chips is suitable various colors in the form of small hearts.

Idea 2: Button games in 5 minutes - a simple and useful solution for toddlers 2-5 years old

Idea 3: Treasure hunt and other adventure games are a great board game option for preschoolers and older children

Treasure hunt is one of the most popular variants of the rpg game script. There is also a round-the-world trip and games based on favorite fairy tales. The main props are a large playing field (stuffed with traps) with cells and a cube (preferably gold or "marine" color). After each roll of the die, the hero figure moves by the number of spaces shown on the die. On the cells there can be various tasks or "tricks" (getting on such a cell, the player moves a few steps back or skips a move).

A simple do-it-yourself board game for the little ones.

Print out a set of all the rules in advance to avoid disputes during the game.

Idea 9: Game "Rules of the road" for boys and girls

Surprisingly, both boys and girls love to play cars. Try to draw a city board game for them with roads, buildings, traffic lights and road signs. Children will ride cars on assignments and at the same time get acquainted with traffic rules.

Idea 10: Expandable Games

The basic idea is simple - select the protagonist, a fascinating plot is being built under it, the game should gradually expand.

As an example, I will give my own development.

We will need main character- for a boy it can be a soldier, a robot or a dinosaur, for a girl a small doll or animal. The main character has certain skills, if the game is military, then these are attack, defense, endurance, number of lives and so on. If it is peaceful, then range, invisibility and other magical skills called by assistants can become skills.

We come up with a fascinating story with a twisted plot. Your child's favorite cartoons and fairy tales will help you. In order not to get confused, write down the plot and make a short plan for it.

The plot should be divided into logically completed missions. In each mission we try to lay logical task interesting for a child. For its successful completion, experience or skill points are required (you can come up with your own game currency and color it colorfully). Game currency will be required to purchase the improvement of the main character and improve his house or base. This house (if it allows living space, then you can make a whole castle or space station) will be periodically rebuilt, acquiring regular upgrades.

A modest home for a child's pet.

In order not to forget where you left off, get a couple of notebooks, one for the main character, the second for his base. Where you will write down all the improvements, and on the back, make notes for new improvements based on the child's suggestions.

Each child has his own special vision of this world, so let him choose the list of improvements himself! Give him small tasks, for example, to come up with an interior new room in an old castle or draw a picturesque alley in front of a bunny's mink.

The main thing is that the gaming table looks beautiful!

When your imagination runs out and the main character acquires all conceivable and inconceivable abilities, then come up with a new plot branch, for example, about a friend or brother of this hero.

Enjoy exciting game and live communication with your children!

Previously, every house had a set of board games - chess, checkers, dominoes, loto. These games were played in the evenings by the whole family. Children found simple walking games in magazines. Today, board games for the company are much less common. They are quite expensive, and children increasingly prefer a computer.

Buy board games for kids or…

No one argues about the benefits of these amusements. Board games for children and adults not only allow you to have fun, but also make you think over a strategy, interact with other participants and resolve conflict situations.

Where can you get them? Of course, they can be purchased at a toy store or in specialized outlets. The second option is preferable - the choice is huge, and the consultants will be able to suggest a game that will suit the participants by age and will be able to captivate for a long time. If in your city board games for the company are presented in a small assortment, then you can use the services of an online store.

It is preferable for beginners to choose the most popular games for the appropriate age group. But what if, after seeing the price, you are speechless? Especially do not want to spend a large amount if you are not sure that this species leisure will take root in your family. You can make your own board game!

print and play

There is a whole movement behind this name. Its purpose is a do-it-yourself board game. In Russian, it sounds like "print and play." And indeed, you just need to download the file, print it, cut out the necessary details - and you can play. Fans not only copy already known games, but also come up with their own.

The obvious advantage of this method is low material costs and a minimum of labor. This method is also good because you can get acquainted with the rules and elements of the game in detail, try it out, and only then buy it in the store.

But there are also disadvantages - cards and fields printed on plain paper quickly become unusable. They can be glued to cardboard or protected from tearing with adhesive tape, but appearance such crafts are still lost.

Cards can be printed on thick cardboard, cut in a typographical way and even laminated. But the cost of such work may even exceed the price of the game from the store. This method is suitable for those who can print the game for free or at a big discount. More a budget option- cards in the form of business cards.

There is another option - a do-it-yourself board game from scratch, made completely independently.

What you need

To make the game you will need:

1. A sheet of white cardboard or thick paper.
2. Scissors.
3. Glue.
4. Ruler.
5. Eraser.
6. Pencils, markers, paints.
7. Magazine clippings, stickers.
8. Scotch.

Instead of player figures, you can use toys made of chocolate eggs, and if a cube is lost, then make it from plasticine. When everything is ready, you can choose a game and start making it. You can do this with the whole family.

Monopoly

Almost everyone has played Monopoly or its modifications. Everyone knows and loves this simple and interesting game. You can make everything you need for the game yourself. You can take the finished game as a basis, and experienced players can change and complicate the standard field.

First of all, draw a looped field of play on a Whatman paper. It needs to be divided into separate cells. Now you can draw company cards with prices and rents. And there is room for creativity here. Names may not match. original game. Come up with your own companies, for example, from the "Country of Wizards", or take real names from your area.

You can draw money, use small bills, or simply count the bill on a piece of paper. You can do without a common field - just lay out the cards on the table. This way you can lay out a new field for each game.

If you are not familiar enough with the rules of the game, just copy the original version. Special attention pay attention to the economic model - if you do not comply with the necessary proportions, then you will not be able to play, there will be too much money or, on the contrary, they will not be enough .

The board game "Monopoly", made with your own hands, will bring many happy hours to the whole family. You can make it with your kids.

Board game "Labyrinth"

"Crazy Maze" is another game with simple mechanics, but extremely addictive. It was invented 30 years ago, but we have begun to gain popularity recently. Can be played by 2 to 4 players. The goal of the game is to find various items in the maze.

If you are not familiar with this game, read the rules first, watch the introductory videos. The rules are simple and easy to understand.

Let's start with making treasure cards. We will need 12 rectangular cards made of cardboard or thick paper. Draw different treasures on them. It can be jewelry, magic items, clothes, animals. Stickers can be used here, but there must be 2 copies of the same treasure - i.e. 12 pairs of stickers + 13 fake treasures in a single copy.

Let's make field cards. In total, we need 50 square cards made of thick cardboard or paper. On each we draw parts of the labyrinth. 12 cards with corners, 12 - with straight corridors, 12 - with corners and treasures, 13(!) cards of intersections of three corridors with treasures.

We see that there are only 12 treasure cards, and there are 25 treasure maze cards. Redraw the images from treasure cards to maze cards, 6 each for corners and intersections, and apply fake treasures to the rest. This is necessary in order to confuse opponents.

Now let's make the field. This is a simple square made of cardboard, a few centimeters larger than the square formed by the laid out maze cards. On the field, mark the start for each character. The board game "Labyrinth" is ready. In order for the game to last longer, you can strengthen all the elements with tape.

"Walkers"

Do you want to come up with your own game? The most simple game do-it-yourself desktop is "Walker". It is easy to do on a large sheet of paper. You need to draw a long route, start and end point. Divide the path into parts denoting each individual move. The preparation for the game is ready.

Now you need to come up with a story in accordance with which the game will develop, supplement it with cards and tasks. For example, for the smallest ones, you can come up with the stories “Competitions in the forest”, “Hares run to mom”, and in games for older children, wizards, fairies, princesses or heroes of their favorite cartoons and books will travel.

Players roll the die and take as many moves as indicated on the die. The game can be diversified by using special cells: make a move back, make a move forward, skip the next move, follow the arrow and take the task card. It can be done just like that, you can set a reward for good execution or a cancellation fee.

How to come up with a plot for a game

Let's take, for example, a plot for the smallest - "Hares run to their mother." Let's come up with a prehistory, how hares live in a forest house with mom and dad, go to a forest kindergarten every day, and on the way home they organize competitions - who will run home faster.

You can attach tasks to this plot. For example: a hare saw a bush that looked like a wolf, got scared and made three moves back; the hare ate porridge well, so he has a lot of strength - take 2 moves forward; the hare met a chipmunk - guess his riddle, and he will lead you through his mink; the hare met the grandmother hare: tell her a rhyme, etc. The more tasks there are, the more interesting the game, but there should also be simple free cells.

For older children, a great idea is to make the heroes of the game their favorite characters. A do-it-yourself board game will become doubly interesting if you are familiar with the work and weave it storylines into the mechanics of the game. A quiz element can be woven into a game for older children. For example: a troll is blocking the door, answer his question and he will let you in / take you a shortcut. Questions may relate to the plot of the selected work, or contain riddles, interesting tasks.

At the final stage, you need to decorate the playing field and cards. If you draw badly, then you can use stickers, magazine clippings.

Making board games with your own hands is not only cheaper, but also much more interesting than buying ready-made sets in stores. After all, you can change the plot, add new rules and "chips" - whatever your heart desires. The main thing is not to overdo it so that the participants do not get completely confused.

Board games for children

Before the era of computers and tablets, many families had a tradition of gathering in the evenings for exciting board games. It promotes live communication between parents and children, helps to strengthen relationships and just have a great time.

Here is a small selection of games that you can make yourself.

"Treasure Hunt"

Making such board games with your own hands is an incomparable pleasure. The plot of “walkers” can be anything: if you want, go on a trip around the world, if you want, live your favorite fairy tales.

Board game "walker" for children | Lady Of Rain

The size of the playing field, the number of cells and the complexity will depend on the age of the child. To make it more interesting, try to make several cells with bonuses or “tricks” - for example, stopping at a cell, the participant must skip a move or move forward 3 cells. The winner is the one who first gets to the last circle.

"Alias"

Alias, aka “Say Different” is a wonderful educational game for children, although many adults are also happy to get involved in the process. The essence is simple: pull out a card with some concept and explain it in other words so that other participants can guess. This is quite a fun activity, besides, it contributes to the development of speech and vocabulary.

For each age, a set of cards can be different: from the simplest (“House”, “Tree”, “Cat”) to absolutely crazy ones that are more suitable for adult party(“Audit”, “Invasiveness”, “Allegory”). The main thing is to draw word cards beautifully.

For convenience, you can draw a playing field with cells, each of which will have the number of the card that the participant must take. To move the figures, you can again roll the die.

"Marrakesh"

Another great DIY board game. It is somewhat reminiscent of Monopoly, but much more fun and dynamic. The plot develops in the Turkish carpet market (try to find as brightly colored fabrics as possible to make shreds).

You need to play with three or four people. Each player owns 15 or 12 rugs certain color. You also need to prepare coins - you can take the usual 10- and 1-kopeck coins, 20 pieces each, a large wooden cube with sides 1-2-2-3-3-4 (as an option - stick the desired numbers on a regular dice) and any a toy figure - this will be our host of the market, Assam.

Players take turns rolling the die and moving Assam right amount cells straight, to the right or to the left (you can't go back!). If you land on someone else's carpet, you must pay the owner.

"Monopoly"

Eternal classic. Monopoly is enjoyed by adults and children all over the world. Deciding to make this game with your own hands, you can use the districts and streets of your city - this will be even more interesting.

Select bright color for each district and figure out how to arrange the streets on the field. Try to keep real estate prices in line with real rates (more expensive in the center than in residential areas, etc.). Some rules can be changed (for example, it is forbidden to take loans from the bank), but it is better not to get carried away and keep the flavor of the original game to the maximum.

The most interesting thing is to come up with tasks, cards of Chances and the Public Treasury. The closer they are to reality (for example, “pay Beeline for using mobile phone”) – the steeper.

"Colonialists"

Making board games with your own hands at home is always interesting, but in the case of the "Colonists" - it's generally something fantastic!

To start playing, you will need hexagons depicting the terrain (forest, desert, sea, etc. - they make up an island), resource cards, development and construction costs, tiles to indicate cities and roads, tokens, dice and a figure. All this can be done with your own hands from paper and cardboard. You can even add new types of resources or development options.

"Mafia"

Strictly speaking, this is more a psychological than an entertaining game. But that doesn't make it any less exciting - especially if you're big company.

All you need to do is draw character cards. There are several main types of roles in the game:

• civilians;
• mafia members;
• sheriff;
• mafia don.

These are basic roles, but you can also introduce other characters: for example, a doctor or a maniac. At the beginning of the game, each participant learns his role, the mafia plans murders with “their own”, and then during the discussions, civilians try to figure out which of those present at the table is the mafia.
