Funny contests for Shrovetide

We all know firsthand what a carnival is and many, especially children, are eagerly awaiting this holiday. And not only because on the table there will be fragrant pancakes, which can be "tucked" with sweets, but also because this period goes on in fun. Adults prepare a real feast, think out contests for Shrovetide, prepare delicious pancakes and traditionally burn a scarecrow, escorting the winter.

Since ancient times, there is a sign that says that if during the carnival season not to have fun and do not eat pancakes, then the next year waiting for a person of misfortune, and luck will bypass the house side. After Maslenitsa, a great fast comes, during which you can not dance and have fun, therefore, during the holiday, it is necessary to "take your soul off" when you meet spring.

But these are all adult "zamorochki", to which children, most often do not pay attention, only here to frolic, make noise and participate in different competitions, they do not mind. Therefore, games for Shrovetide for children are especially stormy and fun, because the cold winter is behind, and ahead of the long-awaited spring.

Although, what to hide, adults also want to participate in various competitions, especially when the main ingredient is delicious pancakes. Many housewives happily take part in the competition for the most original pancake, with an unusual design. At the same time, what will be the filling of the pancake, no one but the landlady knows. The task of the participants of the contest is to guess the filling and evaluate the original design of the dish.

Most often the main prize can be a delicious pancake, and competitions for carnival are held among children. Small participants of a fun contest are invited to come up with an original verse about carnival with the use of words: pancake, spring, winter, sun.

A team game for children called "Sunny"

Even the smallest can take part. To conduct this fun and dynamic competition, you will need two sheets of whatman paper and markers. Children are divided into two teams, each of which is given one pen mark. At the command of the facilitator, all participants must turn in turn to a sheet of paper, where a circle is pre-drawn and draw a ray of sun. The team that wins the most rays, how many children in the group, wins so. Every child must draw a ray of his own, a pen is passed from hand to hand.

Folk games for children are usually mobile and bring joy not only to the participants themselves, but also to their parents who see the happy faces of children jumping fun and participating in contests.

Such a simple competition called "Vorobushki" will allow children to jump from the bottom of their hearts. Before the game begins on the asphalt, small circles are drawn, each of which has one child. One participant, who will lead, stands aside and waits, he is a crow. At the command the children go outside their circle and jump, jump and have fun, and the "crow" meanwhile watches them, and then rushes, trying to catch the "sparrow" - the contestant. The one who does not have time to jump into his circle becomes the prey of the "crow". The winner is the participant, who can run away from the host for the longest time.

Some contests for Shrovetide are designed for adults, who, for sure, also can not wait to participate and remember the time when they were carefree children. The competition is called "Bubantsy" and consists in the fact that it is necessary to blindfold a participant who has bells or a bell in his hands. Focusing on the sound, the participant with a blindfold tries to catch the one who rings the bell. If the player is caught, then now his eyes are tied, and the bells are transferred in turn to the next one.

Competitions for carnival for adults raise the mood and make this holiday one of the most beloved entertainments, moreover, it is during this period that we all happily treat ourselves to delicious pancakes, preparing for the spring and the Great Post before Easter.
