With the last words, the driver carefully places the ribbon on the shoulder of one of the
players, who, noticing this, quickly takes the tape, and they both run to different
sides in a circle. The one who is left without a place becomes the “dawn”. A game

Fun
Sack fight
To fight with bags, you need to fence off the area. This type of fight, where
one hand must be kept tightly pressed to the lower back, you can only act
with one hand. Here higher value acquires the ability to move,
feel the enemy's movement, use his inertia.
Games
Snow shooting range
In the winter town you can install permanent targets for throwing snowballs.
It's best if they are wooden boards size 1*1 m with drawn
on them with concentric circles with a diameter of 30,60 and 90 cm. Shields can be
install on poles dug into the ground, hang on a blank wall or on a fence.
It’s probably worth making a special shooting range wall on which you can place
targets, the guys will knock them down with snowballs.

a normal tug-of-war, but the teams take on it with their backs to each other

The height of the slide can be different; having a large space is important here.
The corner of the slide should be three to four times longer than its height. Width
areas where the guys are preparing for the descent, and paths on the rollout - at least 1 m,
and the width of the sled track is 1.5 m. To make a slide, you need to
roll up snowballs and pile them up. Then compact the snow with your feet or
shovel, cut off excess snow and make a barrier or ladder out of it. Water
slide cold water, otherwise thawed patches may form. It is possible to build
a more complex hill with turns, intermediate ascents and descents,
decorative arches. The difference between the start and finish levels should be
be 3-5 m.
Competitions
Three legs
The players are divided into pairs, each pair's legs are tied (right leg
one with the left leg of the other). A couple on “three legs” runs to the turning point
flag and returns to the starting line.

Team relay race, where pairing is required. One of the couple will have to
become a wheelbarrow - a cargo transport with one wheel and two handles.
The role of the wheel will be played by the hands, and the handles by the legs. On command the player - “wheelbarrow”
lies on the ground, focusing on his hands, and the “driver” takes his partner by the
legs so that the body of the “wheelbarrow” is parallel to the ground. "Car", moving on his hands,
