Participants form a circle and march to the beat of the music, one after the other like hats on, minus one. Hats must be passed to the companion who marches in front. When the music suddenly stops, one will be without a hat and the one must leave the circle, carrying a hat. The last one who manages to keep his hat will be the winner. You can play the game with only one hat in the circle. The participant who keeps the hat on his head when the music stops will leave the circle.
A child is chosen and blindfolded. A stick is placed in her hand, while the others form a circle around her. The blind man points with his stick and asks: "Are you My Lost Sheep?" The person appointed must take the stick and bring it close to your mouth and bleat it, disguising your voice, but if recognized it should take the place of the blind. Each time this happens, players change places so that their position is not recognized.
A circle with a person in the center. The participant who is going shopping will go around the circle and stop in front of one of the participants and say, for example: “I'm going to Mexico. purchase?" Immediately, it will count to ten and before it ends, the competitor you are talking to will have to mention three things that start with M (like butter, medicines, socks). If you can't do this, then it will take the place of the shopper. You can mention any place and the purchased things will have to start with the initial of the place name.
Jesus used Nature for his illustrations. Divide the class into three or four groups. Each group must be given an identical list of articles that must be found. No one can leave the designated area.
Suggestions: seeds, clover, grass stalk, tree leaf, bird feathers, wands, pieces of paper. Specify a time limit of plus or minus 3 to 5 minutes. The group that gets the most items is the winner.
Make some squares on the floor in a big circle. One square for each child minus one that will be the “left over”. Each player will stay inside their square until they receive a touch of what is left, as it is circling and saying, “Follow me to Samaria”. What has been touched puts its hand on the "leftover" and follows it. As the others are touched and the line is increased and joined by the hands on the shoulders, the leader can shout: "The Romans are coming". So everyone runs to their squares. What is left without a square is “left over”.
Each participant is provided with two sheets of newspaper. Every step in the race must be taken on top of the newspapers. In this way he puts a leaf on the ground, steps on it; put the other on the ground, step on top; takes the first one that was left behind, bringing it forward again, and so on until it reaches the target. (Go through the entire stipulated route).
Pin a figure or object to the back of two young people with a pin so that they can mutually discover what is on their back. Each one will try to see first what his partner has on his back, trying to prevent the other from seeing his. Reward the first to find out.
Formation: In a circle, sitting in the classroom or at ease.
"__ Attention" - 3 claps
“__ Concentration” _ 3 clapping
“__ Say the name” _ 3 clapping
“__ Name of” _ 3 claps
“__ A fruit” _ 3 palms
“__ That you” _ 3 clapping
“__ Likes best” _ 3 claps
Right after the order indicated by the leader, each child will say the name of a fruit and clap 3 hands, which will be accompanied by the whole group.
After all the children have said the name of a fruit, the leader or another child, without intercession, continues the game, giving a new order.
May be remembered: names of cities, neighborhoods, countries, geographic features, people from the Bible, colors, animals, foods, desserts, etc. Those who make mistakes will pay gifts.
Formation: Around a large circle are the children.
Development: The leader orders In or Out and all children carry out the orders by jumping with their feet together in or out of the circle. From time to time the teacher repeats the same order. Children who make mistakes are temporarily eliminated, that is, until they are replaced by others who committed the same mistake.
Formation: This game requires a relatively flat, delimited space. At least six children play. A child (chameleon) is placed, turned with eyes covered by the hands. The other children are placed at ease, at a distance of about ten meters.
Development: At the start of the game, the children ask in chorus the one with their back turned: “Chameleon, what color?”. The chameleon responds by saying a color, for example blue. As soon as the color is said, in this example, blue, the chameleon turns and starts running after his colleagues, who flee. When fleeing, the children look for an object of the chosen color and touch it in order to get rid of it. In this case, the chameleon cannot hunt them. He can only hunt those children who haven't gotten rid of them yet, that is, haven't touched the chosen color. If the chameleon touches someone before it is freed, that chameleon becomes the new chameleon. If the chameleon is unable to hunt anyone, it continues in this role.
Objective: This dynamic can be considered an exercise in integration, however, it is more suitable for groups that already know each other, aiming at leisure and relaxation.
Procedures:
1. Guide so that everyone is seated in a circle;
2. Distribute slips and pencils to each participant;
3. Each person will write on their slip something that the neighbor on the right did. It can be anything: imitating someone, singing a song, imitating an animal, etc;
4. They must sign their name on the slips
5. The facilitator collects all slips;
6. After collecting the slips, he gives the motto: “Whatever you want for yourself, you shouldn't want for others… Therefore, what you wrote on your slip, you're going to execute it! (no one can refuse to participate)
7. Start by volunteers, until everyone has completed
Preparation: Circle; children sitting on the floor, in the center is a child blindfolded.
Development: At the leader's signal, one of the members of the circle asks the question: “__ Who am I?” The blindfolded child indicates the
voice direction and responds: “__so and so”. If you get it right, choose your replacement.
Preparation: A group of children arranged in circles (side by side without holding hands) form the cage. The other group, whose elements represent animals, disperses across the terrain. The teacher will use a whistle or bell.
Development: At the teacher's signal, the animals start running, now entering and now leaving the cage. With a new whistle, the children in the circle join hands, closing the cage and thus trapping those who remained inside the circle. These will then form part of it, joining those that form the cage. Then the game restarts until all animals have been trapped.
Formation: In a circle. A child in the center with eyes closed.
Development: A child in the circle will pull the ear (slowly) of the partner in the center making as little noise as possible,
returning to your place. Then he asks: “__Advinha who he is”. The child in the middle should open his eyes and guess who pulled his ear. If no
succeed, it will take its place.
Participants in a circle. The first invents an action – scratches his head, snaps his fingers, etc. The second, repeats the action of the first and adds one more - like imitates a sheep. The third will repeat what the 1st and 2nd did and add one more and so on. Poor last one, you have to remember everything and still close with a flourish.
Formation: Children dispersed at will, one highlighted: “the plane”.
Development: At a given signal, the highlighted element goes in pursuit of colleagues imitating a plane. Anyone who is in danger of being caught, stops balancing on one foot and raises his arms laterally, making the figure of an airplane. The pursuer cannot catch him while he is in this position. When the plane manages to catch a child it will replace him.
Material: A scarf
Preparation: Two parallel lines 8 to 10 m apart. The center of the field where the scarf is placed is marked.
Formation: Players will form two parties arranged behind the line. All will be numbered. Each party with the same numbers.
Development: The teacher will shout a number and the players called will run to the center, will aim to catch the handkerchief and return to their row. In case one manages to catch the handkerchief, the other must chase and touch him before he can reach the row.
Points: The player who manages to catch the handkerchief and return to the row without being touched will reach two points for his party.
Material: 3 balls
Formation: Children arranged in 3 columns. In front of each column, at a distance of approximately 1 meter from the first place, will be the “captain” of each team. this one will hold the ball
Development: At a given signal, the captain will throw the ball to the first of his column who will return it and then lower it. The captain will throw the ball to the second in the column who will act as the first and so on. The last child in the column upon receiving the ball will shout “alive”, scoring for their team.
Material: Cook's cap
Formation: Children sitting or standing in a circle
Development: A child is chosen to be the “cook” and make the soup. He receives the chef's cap and walks around the circle choosing children to represent the various vegetables, meat, pasta, etc. These should follow you until the cook says: “__The soup is ready”. At this point, everyone runs to take a place on the wheel. The child who cannot enter the circle will take the place of the cook.
Preparation: The children form a circle holding hands, one in the center of the wheel.
Development: At the start signal, the center player walks around the circle (inside having hands raised). Suddenly he bends down and hits the hands of two of the circle's companions, who run off in the opposite direction. Meanwhile, whoever “cuts the cake” takes possession of one of the vacant seats. The first to finish the lap enters through the empty seat, goes to the center of the roda and says quickly: “__meal cake, I'm already here”, while the last one to arrive occupies the place left vacant in the roda.
Material: A ball
Formation: Children form a column with the exception of two that at a certain height of the column form the basket (holding hands holding arms high). The first in the column receives the ball.
Development: The child tries to throw the ball into the “basket”. When you get it right, you'll put yourself at the end of the line. If you make a mistake, change places with one of the
companions forming the basket. After all the children have an opportunity, the leader can move the basket a little farther away from the
group. Children who are basketed more than 3 times pay a gift or leave the game. The three who finish last win.
Material: A scarf
Formation: Holding hands the children form a circle. Inside this will remain a player blindfolded.
Development: The circle rotates to the right or to the left. When the center player puts his foot on the ground, the circle stops rotating. The child in the center points to a player and the player will say: “__Bom dia”. The one in the center will have to recognize him by his voice, saying his name. If you make a mistake, you will still have the right to present two more names. If you get it right, the one that was appointed will occupy the center and the other will replace it on the wheel, otherwise, the game will continue until the one in the center, stopping again the circle correctly mentioning the name of the companion.
Formation: Draw two parallel lines with a reasonable distance between them. The children of both teams will stand behind each team with an equal number of members.
Development: After the match, one of the children from the team chosen to leave, runs and passes his hand over the outstretched hands of the “enemies”. Suddenly he pats the palm of one of them (the challenged one) and runs back to his place. The challenged must run after the challenger. If he manages to catch him before he reaches his field, he will be taken as a prisoner to his party, and the team that loses the player will nominate another to make a new challenge to the enemy. If you can't catch it, the challenger will stay in his place while the challenged will be responsible for making a new challenge. After the allotted time for the game is over, the class with the highest number of prisoners wins.
Formation: Form columns of about ten children, each holding the waist of the partner in front.
Development: The first player tries to catch the last one in the column, who tries to avoid being caught. If successful, the first player in the
column swaps places with the last.
Preparation: The children are placed on wheels, holding hands, all facing the center. A couple of players are left out.
Development: At the start signal, the pair displaced around the circle suddenly touch the joined hands of two fellows in the circle. Those

The teacher will announce it aloud and the party group corresponding to the announced face will flee to their pikes (his rear) pursued by the players of the other party. Those who are reached will be incorporated into the opposing party, starting to act together with the new comrades. Again the two parties will approach the center and the teacher will flip the coin.
Victory: The party that, at the end of the set time, has the greatest number of children will be the winner.
Formation: Joining the hands two by two, the children will form “burrows” sheltering each one a “rabbit”. There will always be a "bunny" without a cap and a "little dog"
Development: Pursued by the puppy, the bunny will lodge in one of the dens from which the occupant will immediately withdraw to give him the address. The dislodged bunny will run away so as not to be reached by the puppy and will displace another bunny, whose shelter will take over. When the dog catches the bunny, the roles are reversed and the game will continue uninterrupted.
Formation: Groups of 3 children, two form the "burrow" and shelter a "bunny" in the center with hands held and arms outstretched. The various burrows with their bunnies are dispersed on the ground, far from each other, leaving spaces for the races. There's a little bunny left in the center of the land.
Development: At the leader's order: “__Coelhinho leaves the hole”, the bunnies change places. The untouched bunny seeks to find a home. The remaining bunny continues the game.
Preparation: Children in groups of 3. Two holding hands form the “house” and one inside, the “cat”.
Development: Starting the houses revolve around the cats, to the sound of lively music. When the song is over, the cats go to the center to form a circle with the homeless cat. Then they repeat the same song, and in the end all the cats run in search of a house. Whoever is left homeless goes to the center to restart the game.

Finding him they must both hold hands and bend down. The last one to do so will be temporarily eliminated. The game goes on, forming the two primitive circles again.
Formation: Mark as many circles on the floor as there are children, except one. At a distance of 10 to 15 meters the children, holding hands, form a wheel turning to the right or to the left, singing a praise.
Development: At the sign “__ Go home”, they jump their hands, stop singing, each looking for their “little house”, that is, the circle. The one that's left will be in the center of the wheel, starting the game over. At the signal she will run along with the others. Anyone who is homeless 3 times pays a gift.
Preparation: Children form a circle and are numbered 1 to 4.
Development: The leader will say a number out loud. The children of the number called will run around the circle looking for each one to catch their colleague, who is in front. Those who are reached will be immediately eliminated and those who manage to reach the primitive places will return to occupy them. Once the race is over, a new number will be called, thus continuing the game.
Formation: Children in circles numbered from one to as many children in a circle.
Development: The middle child will say two numbers from 1 to 30 (assuming she has 30 children), being that the numbers mentioned must change places, in this interval, "Juquinha" will try to enter one of these places. Whoever doesn't get a place will stay in the center.

It is very important, the first time that children try to work alone, however, without being forced to do so. You of course need to keep an eye on them as they like to put things in their mouths. Especially when working with balloons, cotton, newspapers and small items. Don't expect a super-production or that the work is perfect and with a good finish.
When practicing creative activities, increasingly exercising motor coordination, you will see that they will improve their techniques and the final result of what they create.
Repetition of activities is also very important for children. What for an adult may seem repetitive, for children it is always an adventure and they find new things to experience.
Try, after two weeks that you have presented a certain activity, make it available to kids the same kind of material you've applied before and you'll see how much progress they show accomplish.
An idea for toddlers
If you know how to knit, make a glove, if you don't buy one and attach a little bell to the ends of each finger! You can also draw a face on your fingers and if you want more sew wool that will be the hair of the faces. They will love it!
Adventures for little kids
A tunnel for children to crawl inside can be made with large cardboard, cardboard, different types of rugs, different types of pillows and balls, blow buoys or little animals, balloons, quilts and padded. You try to show them first how they should act to play and they will learn quickly. Crawling under the tunnel, playing with balloons, building towers with pillows, etc.
For the beginning, the use of materials in abundance may be exaggerated. Maybe start with some cardboard and then just give them balloons and so on. One game at a time.
Children exercising in the room
Pay attention to children's games It's always good to have a gym mat or padded quilt so that children can play and exercise there.
Plastic basin or pool
For each group of children, two small plastic swimming pools would be ideal. You can fill it with blow balloons (half shriveled so they don't pop), newspaper (kids love to tear them up), cotton (good quality - so they can sit on top and feel the soft texture). Butter paper makes a pleasant noise to hear when crumpling. Always observing them so that they do not swallow unwanted objects.
In autumn it is possible to find materials such as: chestnuts, leaves, which can also be in this small pool, so that children can get inside and develop their senses.
When the weather is warm, you can put this pool outside and fill it with water. Put empty yoghurt pots, plastic spoons, buckets inside and let them play there. Always watching them.
Music with home materials
Egg carton, beverage cans, spoons, chopsticks or wooden rods, etc. they can be transformed into musical instruments. Get creative!
stuffing objects
Give the children different cans, empty yogurt cups, cardboards, plastic bottles, etc. They will be able to fill these objects with sand, and in the summer they can play outside or also using water. Start yourself by demonstrating how you can build a tower, a mountain, etc. out of sand, they will soon be doing the same.
knowing the shapes
Cut out different shapes in cardboard boxes (home products) or shoe boxes: circle, triangle, rectangle, etc.
Give the children corks, wooden blocks to assemble, pieces of thick paper and ask them to put them in the little holes (of different shapes) in the boxes.
toilet paper rolls
Give them some empty toilet paper rolls or kitchen rolls and they can play with them, making them roll, squeezing them, the strongest can even tear them, they can also step on up!
If the children are a little older, they can already paint the rollers with finger paint or even glue little colored papers that can be torn on top
stuffed bags
One thing that can be done quickly is to make stuffed cloth bags or even stuffed washable gloves.
Fill them with cotton, rice, dried peas, nuts, put little bells on each finger of the glove, etc. Children of this age like to feel the touch and hear the sound that objects make.
Children's Day Dynamics: Texture Panels
On a cardboard glue a paper sandpaper, aluminum foil, fabric, cotton, buttons, cork, forming two panels. Let the children feel the different textures.
You can hide them under a cloth and the older children will be able to guess which panel it is.
cloth snake
Sew a long snake made from scraps of fabric and fill it with cotton. Children will love to feel it with their hand. You can use other materials to fill it.
film container
You can also fill a plastic pot of photographic film with dried peas, rice, bells, pebbles. Then, just close it well and for safety, seal it with the help of insulating tape or crepe.
Children's Day Dynamics: Cardboard
You can paint a cardboard with finger paints.
A cardboard box can become a house. Just cut the doors and windows. Of course this box should be big.
With cardboard, the youngest child can rehearse cutouts (with blunt scissors) and can make stars, Easter eggs (to serve as mobiles after being painted), etc.
Remember that when they work with finger paint, they should wear old clothing or an apron and the floor or table should be covered with newspaper.
learning to store toys
Let the children keep the toys they used in class. They can put them in an empty cardboard box. Can by: paper balls, cotton, balls, etc. When everything is inside everyone sings a song and if there is time they put everything on the floor again and again they start saving and then singing.
Aluminum foil mirror
You can stick a sheet of aluminum foil on the floor so that children crawling around can look at their reflection. The little ones like to look at themselves in the mirror.
Children's Day Dynamics: Balloon Pillows
With a double-sided quilt, the kind you put upholstery inside, you can make a big balloon pillow. Just put several air balloons on the quilts (half empty so they don't burst) and then the children can crawl and roll over.
play in the sand
When they are out, give the children cups, watering cans, water and spoons and let them play freely.
Children's Day Dynamics: Rip and paste
Let the children tear up different types of paper: Newspapers, transparent, colored, gold papers and then glue them onto cardboard or paper.
Fabric and wool
Glue tissue scraps of different shapes and sizes. To glue wool, greater dexterity is needed, as the child will need to secure it with the help of other fingers so that it is fixed on the paper.
empty egg cartons
They are also good for children to tear or to be used to make papier mache – which serves as a great resource for making various toys: chickens, fruits, masks, etc.
Children can also play by putting materials inside the egg box: crumpled paper, cork, etc. However, be careful not to take small objects in their mouths.
tear and cut
Old catalogs or newspapers can be great material for children to play at tearing up. When they are older, they can practice cutting the figures. (remember with blunt scissors)
sand and glue
The sand can be very well mixed with the glue, so apply this mixture in cans and decorate it with sea shells, etc.
pull ship
With an egg box we can build a pull ship. With this, children can paint it with finger paint. Put a string at one end and the boat is ready.
Pasta necklace
With a string and several noodles it is possible to make a necklace! The bigger ones will train their motor coordination and will love the final result.
