At the same time, the belt or scarf with which the leg is tied up passes from one “crow” to another.

Sahreoba

This is a Georgian jumping game that will require several sticks like city bats (no more than 5 cm thick). Sticks are placed on the ground parallel to one another at a distance of half a meter. The more sticks, the harder the game will be. Next to the first stick and the last - on a flat stone: here the jumpers can rest (not for long!). A beginner in the game must, jumping on one leg, bypass all the sticks with a snake. On the way back, you need to jump over the sticks, placing your feet perpendicular to them. And again to the stone - but now the feet are placed parallel to the sticks. End the game by jumping from stick to stick.

If you get lost, make a mistake, you immediately give way to the next jumper, and, having waited for your turn again, you start all over again. We have talked about four ways to jump, but you can come up with new ones yourself; you can somehow put the sticks in a different way ... In general, the competition program will largely depend on your desire and on your ingenuity. In any case, the winner will be the one who, with fewer attempts, will complete all the agreed tasks without errors.

The player addressed by the sieve player says:

Run after her!

After that, the “sieve” runs after the last player in the row and tries to catch him. He runs away and seeks to stand first in a row. If he succeeds, he is saved. If the “sieve” catches the evader, then they change roles, the former “sieve” becomes the first in a row.

Rules of the game: you cannot run out of the row before all the words have been spoken.

Lithuanian game "King of Beasts"

All the players are “beasts”, one of them is the “king of beasts”. Each "beast" must tell the "king" its name, but in such a way that others do not hear (tiger, wolf, hare, etc.). "Beasts" line up in one row opposite the king a few steps away from him. At the feet of the "king" lies the ball. "King" calls some animal, he must run, and the "king" tries to hit him with the ball. If the ball hits the beast, he goes to the king and helps him (brings the ball, etc.). After the king names two or three animals, he says: “I catch all the animals!” Everyone is running, and he is trying to hit someone with the ball.

Rules of the game: "King" must throw the ball without going beyond the outlined line; new king is chosen after three or four animals have been caught.

Kazakh game "White bone"

The participants in the game line up, take a white bone (you can use a rubber ball, a wooden key, carved sticks, etc.) and sing:

- White bone - a sign of happiness, a key,

Fly to the moon

To the white snowy peaks!

Resourceful and happy

Who will find you in an instant!

After that, the leader throws a bone for a line of players. At this point, no one should look back to see which way the bone is flying. When the bone falls, the host announces:

- Looking for a bone

Find happiness soon!

And he will find it

Who is faster and more agile!

The purpose of the action is to quickly find the bone and bring it to the leader unnoticed by the others. If the other participants notice her, they chase the player and, after lightly hitting the shoulder, take away the bone, then they also run to the leader.

In order to be unnoticed and without obstacles to bring the bone to the leader, it is necessary to show dexterity, ingenuity and resourcefulness. One player, under the pretext that he cannot find a bone, goes to the leading step, thereby diverting the attention of rivals different ways(for example, he speaks loudly, pointing to another, and claims that he supposedly has the bone, etc.). If the player found a bone, i.e., turned out to be lucky, then the whole group or one of the group fulfill his desire: they sing songs, read poetry, imitate the voices of animals.

Rules of the game: the noticed player with a white bone is obliged to immediately pass it; it is impossible to look back during the transfer of the bone; it is allowed to search for it only after the leader's signal; whoever violates the rules of the game is punished at the behest of the winner.
