Learn how to weave a net for a basketball hoop, make a bow and arrow, and do-it-yourself skis for sports competitions that are held in the warm season. During the long summer holidays, children have time to relax in the camp, go on a hike with their parents, visit the country house, in the village with their grandparents. To make the rest fun and easy, find out which outdoor games are recommended for children and adolescents, prepare simple attributes and plunge into the fascinating world of competitions.
DIY skiing
Yes, yes, you may not believe your eyes, but the guys will have fun, with excitement, having arranged competitions using skis. But they will be unusual, but designed for several people.
To make skis with your own hands, you need:
- 2 thick planed long boards;
- paint or wood preservative;
- brush;
- strong tape, thick tape;
- jigsaw;
- furniture stapler.
You can use boards designed for flooring. If there are many children, take thicker ones; for 2-3 people, those that are slightly thinner are suitable. Sharpen each ski on one side, work over these edges to avoid splinters. You can omit this stage and not sharpen it. Cover the workpieces with an antiseptic or paint with paint. Use a stippler to attach a thick tape to each ski. The distance between them should be such that the children fit freely, holding each other by the belt.
Now about the rules of this game. Depending on the number of people willing to participate, everyone is divided into 2-4 teams. For each, it is necessary to make skis in the way presented above.
Members of each team put on such big skis at the start. After the signal, they begin to move forward. At the same time, the main tasks are not to fall and quickly stick your leg back into the "stirrups" if it jumped out of there.
The rope is already spread out at the finish line. As soon as the ski toes of one of the teams touch it, that company is declared the winner.
Such fun competitions can be arranged not only for children and adolescents, but also at an offsite corporate party, such entertainment will be very useful. You can make these or other skis.
For the latter you will need:
- boards;
- bars;
- self-tapping screws;
- screwdriver;
- antiseptic;
- brush.
Knock down 2 boards in pairs, attaching them to the bars. Other bars are attached vertically to nail the railing to which the competitors will hold onto. Their feet are on the bars. On command, everyone moves their left leg and arm forward and at the same time "ski" from this side. Then the same manipulations are performed on the right.
The winner is the team that can "slide" on this device to the finish line, having come to it first.
How to make a bow and arrow for outdoor games?
A person at any age can feel like Robin Hood, learn to shoot accurately from a bow. Such entertainment can be advised for a group of children, but if you have even one child at your dacha, take him on a useful game that develops accuracy.
You can make a bow and arrow using a simple method in literally half an hour. To do this, you need:
- flexible sticks - one thicker for a bow, the rest are thinner for arrows;
- bowstring;
- knife.
Then follow the instructions:
- Take a thicker stick. It should not be too dry to bend well.
- Having retreated from the right and left ends by 2-3 cm, make notches with a knife in a circle, they will turn out in the form of rings. A twig or a straight branch stripped of leaves should be barked. Taking it out in the two designated places, you will get excellent notches, they can be made and a little deeper into the wood.
- Take a bowstring, tie one end of it in one, and the other in the other notch. As a bowstring, you can use: hemp rope, fishing line, thin nylon cord, twine, silk or cotton strands.
- To make an arrow, sharpen it on one side, on the other it should be flat.
Here's how to make a bow and arrow with a simple method. If you need more global attributes of the ancient hunt, then stock up on:
- a strong dry stick that is flexible enough (length 100–160 cm);
- tape measure;
- felt-tip pen;
- with a knife;
- bowstring;
- glue.
The twigs of such trees as oak, yew, white acacia bend well. You can also use hazel to make a bow and arrow.
- First you need to find the natural fold of the stick. To do this, put it on a flat surface and press it against it in the center, if the edges of the rod rise slightly, then you have found a fold. If not, gradually turn the stick 90 ° and you will see a slight bend as a result.
- To make it more convenient to pull the bowstring, holding the bow with your hand, wind it in the center of the rod, but slightly sliding a strip of leather or rope to the lower shoulder, gluing the turns.
- Cut a groove in the center of the rod, this is where you will insert the top of the boom.
- Make cuts at the top and bottom of the rod, how to make them can be seen in the photo. Tie a bowstring here.
Now how to make arrows with your own hands. Take a thin stick, sharpen it with a knife on one side, and make a cut on the other so that the arrow does not jump off the string. The subtleties of the work process, the length of the bow and arrow, you can determine individually for yourself by studying the following photo.
How to weave a basketball net in nature?
If you went on a camping trip, wanted to play basketball, but there is no net, you can easily make it yourself. This skill is useful if the old one has fallen into disrepair, and there is no way to buy a new one. To make it, you need:
- utility cord made of nylon 5 mm thick - length 20 meters;
- a piece of thin metal cable 1 m 60 cm;
- a piece of a bar;
- 5 nails;
- scissors;
- hammer.
- Drive 5 nails into the block to the end as shown in the photo: 2 at the top, two in the middle above the first pair, at a distance of 10 cm from it. The fifth nail is in the center of the second pair, 5 cm below it.
- Cut 12 identical lengths from the rope, each 1 m 60 cm. Singe the ends of the ropes over the flame so that they do not wrinkle.
- Fold the first piece in half, place the fold over the nail, and tie a knot. To do this, turn the two ends of the rope around the segment below the bend by 10 cm and tighten.
- Decorate all the remaining threads in the same way.
- Now we will fasten them together. To do this, we use all the same homemade device from a bar.
- With two loops over the top studs, knot the center pieces of these two ropes. Then, in the same way, knit the second with the third, the third with the fourth strand, etc. We tie the twelfth and first ropes last.
- Also, in a checkerboard pattern, it is necessary to make nodes in the third row, then, in the fourth and fifth. Five rows are enough.
- It remains to attach our mesh to the ring. To do this, a rope or cable is passed through the ears of the rings and through the upper loops of the ropes.
If you do not have a ring with ears on hand, then you can use a metal rod, bend it, round it and hold the edges together. If you are on a hike, you can even use thick wire to get active outdoors with a game of basketball.
Then fix the rope segments by following the photo tips.
In this case, the evenness of the cells is achieved due to a small board of the required width, which is inserted between the rows.
Here's how to weave rope to make a ladder. It will also help the sports development of children and diversify their free time.
For this, only 3 subjects are used:
- sticks;
- not very thick rope;
- saw or hacksaw.
Take strong sticks, cut them into equal lengths. Now we will tie the rope in knots to secure the wooden steps.
Also, a rope or strong ropes will help you play other active games in nature. See how fun it is to jump with a whole company using a rope rope.
This attribute can be instantly transformed into another, and start a fun new competition called "tug of war."
If there is someone to make such large slingshots, pulling a rope on their upper parts, you can shoot balls. If there are no such slingshots, and you are on a camping trip, pull an elastic band between two branches, and then the fun game "Angri Birds" will begin right now.
Younger children will be interested in passing the obstacle course. For such a game you will need:
- pegs;
- rope;
- cans or bells.
Drive the pegs into the ground around the perimeter and inside the area. Starting on one side, tie the end of the rope, then place it between the other pegs. Tie a few cans or bells down with the threads.
When someone touches them, a sound is heard, the loser is eliminated. The rest then try to overcome the obstacle course. Whoever does this without hitting the ropes, and the first to come to the finish line, wins.
Making a kite for the game
It is also a pleasure to play with this in nature. Have the child make a snake with their parents, and then all go together to fly it.
You can even make a kite at home out of paper. Here's what you will make it out of, you will need:
- thick paper;
- strong silk thread or a skein of fishing line;
- scissors;
- knife;
- a needle with a thick eye;
- ribbon;
- Scotch.
Cut a square out of a rectangular sheet of paper by simply cutting off the extra strip.
Fold it diagonally. Now bend one side of the sheet to this diagonal line located on the wrong side, and on the other side - the second side of the sheet.
Expand the workpiece so that the diagonal line is on the table. Bend the corners from it to one side and the other. In the photo, this stage of work is indicated by yellow arrows.
In the photo, yellow circles indicate the places where you need to thread the fishing line or thread with a needle.
Lift both ends of the rope up and tape them here. Tie a loop.
If you don't have a large spool, then cut out such a piece of corrugated cardboard and wind the thread around it.
Tape the tape to the corner of the cardboard blank. And at the end of the tape, folded in the form of an accordion - paper.
Attach the end of the bobbin thread to the loop with two matches.
Here's how to make a kite so you can run around with it in nature.
If you are planning a long walk in the fresh air outside the city, then you need to consider how you can relax during the break between sports.
