OH, PANCAKES...

Oh, my pancakes, my pancakes, you, my pancakes. I baked pancakes on four sides. Nobody takes pancakes, Nobody takes them for free. Only the gray pig sniffed and passed. A fire is burning across the river, The pig's stomach hurts. Across the river the fire went out, and the pig's belly was swollen. My heart and liver hurt, A girl lives across the river. If only there was a boat, I would move there. Rita-rita-rita-ta, A cat married a cat. For Kot-Kotovich, For Pyotr Petrovich The cat had a dashing stepmother. She beat the cat and said: On your dad, on your back paw. Eat the cat, don’t drag it, Dad, don’t ask for more! Eat! Record

Like on Mastiff Week, pancakes went to handicrafts. Chorus: My pancakes, pancakes, You are my pancakes. My pancakes, pancakes, butter pancakes. Like on oil days the other day I was visiting my godfather. Chorus. The four of us sat down at the table and gave our darling some space. Chorus. We all sat down together and cracked two hundred pancakes. Chorus. Like my godmother Tatyana, she rushes about from pancakes like she’s drunk. Chorus. We saw Yagor's godfather - He was pooping at the fence. Chorus. We saw godfather Thomas - He is going to yum. Chorus. Riding a pig with a balalaika on his back. Chorus.

Games with descriptions:

YASHA AND MASHA

Everyone stands in a circle. “Yasha” is blindfolded and spun around in the middle of the circle. “Masha’s” task is to dodge “Yasha”, like in blind man’s buff, but periodically raise his voice. If “Yasha” catches her, he must, blindfolded, determine who is in front of him. Determines - kisses. If he doesn’t determine it, “Masha” returns to the circle, and “Yasha” will never know who played with him.

Circle, moving in a round dance: Yasha, Yasha, Where are you, where are you? Masha, Masha... (stops) “Masha” (in a thin voice): Here... here...

DUCK

Two people stand facing each other, holding hands (both hands). Hands are raised so that the rest of the game participants can pass under them. The rest of the participants in a line, holding hands, take turns under the double “gates” and sing a song:

The duck walked along the bank, the gray one walked along the steep, led the children behind her, both small and large, middle and small, you, ducks, ducks, ducks, ducks, ducks! Where have you gone, gone, gone, you guys? If only the forest would be overgrown, and if only the light would become brighter!

At the words “if only the light would change,” the gates lower and catch the one who ends up inside the clasped hands. The caught one joins the catchers, becomes the third in the circle and also raises the “collar”. With each round, the number of catchers grows, the circle increases and, accordingly, more people from the string are caught. It is important for the leader of the line - the “duck” - not to run under the gates and lead everyone else behind him as quickly as possible, but, on the contrary, to confuse his “ducklings”, enter one gate, exit another and immediately enter the next. They play until the majority of participants are caught and become “catchers”.

Record

A DRAKE CHASES A DUCK

Participants stand in a circle, holding hands. To the song, the “duck” (girl) runs away from the “drake” (guy). They run around and inside the circle. Those standing in the circle “open the gate” for the duck (raise their hands up) and “close” it in front of the drake, not allowing him into or out of the circle. The drake's task is to catch the duck and kiss her. Then a new pair comes into play. Etc. You can have the previous “duck” choose a new game from the circle of the new “drake” for a new game, and the latter is already looking for a partner—the “duck.”

The drake chases the duck, the young one chases the gray duck. Come, gray duck, go home, go, gray duck, go home! You have seven children, the eighth is a drake, the ninth is a duck, the tenth is a goose, you have never been home, you have lost your children!

Record

ZAINKA

Participants stand in a circle, holding hands. A “bunny” runs around inside the circle. Trying to break out of the circle while the first four lines of the song are being sung. If you can’t escape, you stay in the circle. At the lines “Come on, little bunny, jump sideways, in front of our round dance,” everyone in the circle claps their hands, and the “bunny” jumps. In the words “Come on, bunny, turn around, bow to whomever you love!” chooses a couple from the circle (boy - girl, girl - guy), and brings him to the center of the circle. In the words “don’t play around anymore, kiss again!” — kisses the cheeks three times. The partner becomes the new “bunny”, the old one takes a place in the circle.

Little gray little bunny, little white little bunny There's nowhere for a little bunny to jump out, No place for a gray one to jump out Here the cities are Turkish, The locks are German Come on, little bunny, sideways before our round dance Come on, little bunny, turn around, Bow to the one you love Don't fool around anymore, kiss again / 2 times

SHUTTLE

Participants line up in two lines facing each other, tightly locking elbows at a distance of at least 10-12 steps from each other. At the same time they begin to converge and diverge (four steps forward - the first line of the song, four steps back - the second line of the song):

The shuttle runs, the earth trembles, it sews, it sews, it sends

It is important to maintain even lines. At the moment when the ranks disperse, “shuttles” run between them. Or one at a time, in turns, or in pairs, or in groups. Care must be taken to prevent the shuttles from colliding. Gradually, the speed of convergence and divergence of the ranks increases, they sing faster and faster, and, finally, one of the “shuttles” is caught. He takes his place in the line. The song starts again...

Record

CHIZH

There must be an even number of game participants in the circle. Everyone is divided into pairs in advance. Another participant is standing in . Participants walk in a circle, one behind the other’s head. As the song progresses, the participants and the “siskin” show what kind of crest the siskin has (palm above his head), how he flies (with his hands they show the fluttering of his wings), how he nodded his leg (we jump on one leg, holding the other in front of us, bent at the knee).

If you knock on an oak tree, a blue-gray siskin flies out. Siskin, siskin. A little red-haired siskin. The siskin flew across the field. He kept nodding with his right leg. Siskin, siskin, don’t yawn, choose a mate for yourself!

At the last words, everyone must exchange pairs, and “siskin” must find a pair. The one who does not find a mate becomes a new siskin.

KITE

The participants in the game hold hands, walk in a circle, and sing. At this time, the kite sits in the center of the circle. When the dialogue begins, he answers questions while sitting in a circle.

Round dance: I walk around the kite, lowering the necklace. Three strings, beads. I lowered the collar, short around the neck. Three strings, beads. - Kite, kite, what are you doing? Kite: - I'm digging a hole - What do you need a hole for? - Sew a bag - What do you need a bag for? - Collect pebbles - What do you need pebbles for? - Scare the sparrows!

At the words “scare the sparrows,” Kite jumps up and catches the “sparrows” scattering from the circle. The caught one joins the first kite and also sits in a circle. Now he will also have to catch sparrows. The dialogue with the “kites” is now in the plural: “Kites, kites, what are you doing?..” - “We’re digging a hole!..” With each end, there are more and more “kites”, and fewer and fewer “sparrows”. The game ends when all the sparrows have been caught.

Record

ZARYA-ZARYANITSA

“Everyone stands in a circle, holding hands, and it is desirable that participants with approximately equal physical abilities (guy-guy, girl-girl, child-child) stand next to each other. Inside, “Zarya” walks in a circle with a handkerchief or scarf in her hands.

Participants sing: Zarya-Zaryanitsa, Sister of the Sun walked across the field, dropped the keys, Golden keys, blue ribbons...

At the last words, “dawn” hangs the scarf on the clasped hands of two people standing next to each other (two guys, or two girls, or two children), “separating” them, but without letting go of the scarf. They uncouple and turn around with their backs to each other, slightly going beyond the perimeter of the circle.

The participants command in chorus: One-two, don’t be a crow, run like fire!

Both participants must run in different directions around the outside of the circle. Whoever runs the entire circle faster and returns to his place grabs the handkerchief. After the first participant to arrive has taken the scarf, he enters the circle and thanks “Zarya” with a bow or a kiss. A traditional kiss looks like this: the guy stands opposite the girl at a distance of slightly less than an arm's length. Participants hold their hands, slightly bent at the elbows, spreading them to the sides and raising them to a level just below the shoulders. Then the couple touches each other’s cheeks and kisses on the cheek, then on the other, then again as at the beginning. Only 3 times. Then a new “Zarya” is selected, and the girl chooses from among the boys, and the guy from among the girls.

Zarya Zaryanica

UNCLE TRIFON

The participants in the game hold hands, walk in a circle, and sing:

Like Uncle Tryphon, He had seven children, There were seven sons. They didn’t drink, didn’t eat, they kept looking at each other. They did this at once...

The presenter (“Tryphon”) at this time stands in Tryphon and shows some figure, pose (“hands up, “bridge”, “squat”, you can take someone standing in the circle by the nose - let your imagination tell you). All participants must repeat the figure shown. It's funny if you need to involve a neighbor in a figure. “Trifon” looks at the participants in the game and chooses the best. Takes his place in the circle. The chosen one becomes the new Tryphon.

Record

I'M SITTING ON A PEBBLE

Participants walk in a circle, one sits in a circle. Everyone sings:

I sit and sit on a pebble, I sit on fuel, And who really loves me? And who will replace me? Who truly loves me? And who will replace me? Will he change me, change me, will he kiss me again?

After the “kiss,” those who wish run up to the person sitting in the center (guys to the girl, girls to the guy). And the one who kisses first takes a place in the circle. You can play so that several people sit in a circle at once. Then, during the song, those sitting should also form a circle (sitting straight on their haunches) and clap their hands in this way: one - hands brought together, clap, two - hands spread, turn the left palm up, place the left neighbor under the clap, the right hand down, clap in the palm of the right neighbor. Accordingly, boys kiss girls, girls kiss boys.

I'M SITTING ON A BARREL...

The rules are practically the same as in the previous game “I’m sitting and sitting on a pebble...”, only those sitting in a circle during the song take hold of their neighbors’ shoulders and squat in a circle.

I'm sitting on a barrel, Tears are rolling down, I don't have a penny, I want to drink. I sit and sit and grieve by the willow bush. If anyone loves me, let him help me out!

At the end, the same thing - the guys run out, kiss the girls sitting in the circle, take their places, the girls kiss the guys, take their places.

PAD

Participants stand in a circle, a guy walks inside the circle with a pillow in his hands (if there is no real one, for example, a folded scarf can act as a “pad”). The guy walks sedately, chooses a girl. The circle sings:

My little feather pillow! Oh, loli-lyoli, my downy one! Oh, loli-lyoli, my downy one! For some it’s evening, for others it’s evening, but for me it’s a party! Oh, loli-lyoli, and I’m having a party! Oh, leli-leli, it’s a party for me!

Next, the guy must choose one girl, stand opposite her and bow to her to invite her into the circle. He does this in the words of the song:

For some - a flower, for others - a scarlet one, and for me - a beautiful girl! Oh, loli-lyoli, and to me - a beautiful girl! Oh, loli-lyoli, and to me - a beautiful girl!

A guy and a girl stand in a circle, the guy puts a “pad” on the ground and kneels on its edge. The girl also kneels - on the opposite edge. All this in words:

I'll put you on your knees and make you kiss me! Oh, loli-lyoli, I’ll make you kiss me! Oh, loli-lyoli, I’ll make you kiss me!

Next, the guy kisses the girl, carefully leaning first to her right and then to her left cheek. In words:

Kiss, darling, kiss, darling, kiss, don't graze! Oh, love, love, kiss, don’t graze! Oh, love, love, kiss, don’t graze!

Then the guy and the girl stand up, the guy takes a place in the circle, and the girl takes the “cushion” and gives it to the next guy in the circle with a bow. The next round of the game begins...

SLUTTER

For this game you need an accordion player with a harmonica. There must be an even number of participants, plus one “Blubber”. Participants are divided into pairs and stand in a “double circle”: first, one circle, each person facing the center of the circle, and one more person at the back of the head behind each of those standing, forming, as it were, a second, “outer” circle. IN . At the beginning of the game, everyone says in unison, pointing at the “Blubber” with their fingers:

One, two, three, you bungler!

Then the accordion plays and the participants in the “inner circle” begin to dance, moving in a circle, clockwise. "Blubber" dances along with everyone. Participants in the “outer circle” stand still and clap. At the most unexpected moment, the accordion falls silent, and all those dancing must quickly find a partner: stand behind someone standing behind the head. “Blubber” is also looking for a mate. As a result, one person is left without a partner. This is the new "Blubber". He goes to the center of the circle and they shout to him:

One, two, three, you bungler!

The accordion begins to play again, and now those who have moved from the “outer” circle to the “inner” are already dancing and looking for a couple. If a person remains a “Blubber” for the second time, they shout to him:

One, two, three, four, five, bungler - you again!

If you stayed a third time, then this:

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, you are a complete bungler!

Child of Frost
