All day long you are spinning like a squirrel in a wheel, rushing between kindergarten, school, work, shop and service center to fix your phone, computer or washing machine. And in the evening you want to fall down without hind legs and fall asleep in a warm embrace. It was not there: ahead of a family evening with her husband and children. How to organize your leisure time in such a way that both have a rest, and the kids have fun, and the husband melts like a Cheshire cat at home after a hard day's work?

Firstly, Please note that only the whole family can make a family holiday evening. Otherwise, someone will look skeptically as others diligently cut out applications for darts, and neither those working for the benefit of the new game, nor boring critics in front of the TV will receive collectivism (as well as mutual pleasure). If you do something, then do it together: either watch a new comedy, or together build a ship-bed in the children's room.

Secondly, parents, do not forget that your desires and interests do not always coincide with the desires of your children. They are always waiting for a lot of new experiences every day, while you understand a family evening as a warm bath with light music and lying in bed.

Recent surveys of school-age children have shown that children aged 7 to 17 enjoy computer games, going to the movies or watching movies at home most of all, and are less enthusiastic about technical creativity. Young parents, on the other hand, prefer to go to the theater, to embody some gastronomic recipe together. If parents agree with their children in a single and indivisible opinion about holding a family holiday evening, then this, alas, concerns computer games (according to statistics, this is about 50% of the total number of families). In second place in terms of compatibility of interests is sports. Everyone loves him.

But even if you do not like sports, and you use the computer only for work purposes, you should not associate a family evening with TV. Planning specifically and scripting family evenings is probably not worth it either, since impromptu is best. With tedious serious work at home, you need to get a charge of fun, laughter and childhood. Why not afford it, especially since there are children in the house? Think of family traditions. For example, on Tuesdays you can bake pies and have a family tea party with chess, crosswords or backgammon - why not? Every family has its own "chip", planned or not, but the pleasure is guaranteed.

Another important detail of organizing a family holiday evening is the initiative. This is the hardest part of the whole preparation. Indeed, sometimes it is so difficult to overcome fatigue and the desire to “meet the sofa” as soon as possible! You don’t need to force yourself, but you can relax and actively. Turn the kitchen into a mini-cafe with a bartender, waiters and visitors, arrange a poetry evening in search of a rhyme or a musical evening in search of a common favorite song. Swap the roles of parent children for the evening, arrange wit contests with prizes and sweets, compose a fairy tale about the family, grandparents, connecting with reality and a family album, write together a script for a family evening in honor of the grandfather’s or dad’s birthday.

Everything should be both useful and pleasant: we develop and educate our children in the game, enjoying it.

By the way, about the scenarios of family evenings. Do your kids love to draw? Let them prepare colored posters with a portrait of dad, decoration of gifts and premises. Read poetry and sing? This means that singing competitions, jokes and poems must be included. You can make the leader not just a mother or an older sister, but Carlson or an old woman Shapoklyak. Come up with motion games. For example, depict a well-known painting (“Gioconda”, “Rooks have arrived”, “Again a deuce!”), Simulate a swim of pirates for treasure (that is, a cake).

Plenty of options...

Let's play!

Probably the most popular home games are with children. These are hide-and-seek and hide-and-seek, catch-up and round dances, guessing games and tickling, familiar to everyone since childhood. Such games liberate both adults and kids and to a large extent strengthen friendly relations between them. Agree, it’s impossible to be angry with a toddler who broke your favorite vase or made a boat from important documents if you yourself overturned the table five minutes ago while playing hide and seek or tried to launch the same boat on a long voyage in the bathroom.

Such family entertainment is very important for both large and small participants in the game. A good mood and a charge of vivacity are provided to you if a walk with children suddenly turns into a real chase with whistles, hoots and machine-gun bursts. By the way, imitation of the latter will require a huge talent from you, which you can later be deservedly proud of.

Experts have not yet figured out who gets more pleasure from children's games - whether the children themselves, who are definitely supposed to play them, or the parents, in whose soul childishness is still preserved. Such home entertainments are usually of a spontaneous nature, and all the more charm, freshness, and mutual interest in them. The main thing in games with kids is sincerity. Do not look down on the kids, do not give in and lisp, be natural, believe in the game, and do not be afraid to return to childhood at least for a couple of hours - this is not so bad at all! ten

Tired of chasing or hide and seek, you can have a great time playing mind games. No, do not rush to sit down at the computer and take out the CD with "Civilization", do not climb onto the mezzanine in search of "Monopoly". Remember the good old chess. This is certainly a difficult game, but after all, our gray matter constantly needs training, and she just means them. Moreover, chess calms better than any auto-training, so if you don’t know how or just don’t want to play, just try it! And if you don't know the rules of chess, it doesn't matter either! Choose banal checkers - they are no worse ... Other family entertainments that require some work of the intellect have the same magical properties. Arrange a home "Field of Miracles" or "What? Where? When? ”, all kinds of quizzes, games with words, forfeits. And why not arrange a literary evening or, in the spirit of the time, an evening of serials? To do this, you just need only - households in the amount of at least three pieces, several seats, a television remote control.

Switching channels (and every time getting on the next soap!), The driver selects any hero (preferably a famous actor or actress) and turns off the TV. Your task is to correctly put the question (you can answer “yes” or “no”) and be the first to guess the name of the hero. If you spend your evenings and weekends in front of a TV screen, you will find it easy. Otherwise, just surrender to the mercy of housewives. The scope of this game is endless - questions can concern literary characters, writers, historical figures, and even living politicians. Just imagine: you and your mother-in-law (or mother-in-law - which is also terribly fun) at the same table, along with the rest of your relatives, smiling sweetly, ask each other tricky questions, demonstrating your education and erudition. A large portion of adrenaline is provided already in the first minutes of the game.

You can, of course, lose, but this is not fatal, and very quickly there will be at least one person in the family circle who wants to console you. Mistakes and losses in such cases most often throw us in search of the right answer, a worthy solution, so “smart” family games are an excellent stimulant for self-improvement.

There is another category of home games that combines the work of the mind, fantasy and humor. These are all kinds of productions, performances, scenes from life, anecdotes in faces. These games require a little preparation. For family concerts, an impromptu stage is being built, deodorant bottles or telephone handsets are used as microphones, instead of flowers, the artists are presented with a glass of wine or dishes with homemade pies. The game of association is quite famous among such entertainments. The meaning of the game is simple - try to portray your association with the one who drives as accessible as possible. For example, what animal does this person remind you of. Which book, flower or piece of furniture most reflects its essence. Maybe he is reliable, like an oak chair? Or gentle as a violet? In a word, this game involves recognition and helps to get closer to all participants. Of course, entertainment of this kind is not accepted in all homes. Only in a close-knit family they play old, familiar, even traditional games with equal joy and open the doors to everything new and interesting.

By the way, one of the most traditional family games can be classified as gambling, such as cards. Each of us at least once in his life played the "fool". Although, more correctly - "in the fools." This is the most common card entertainment in a narrow home circle, and of purely Russian origin. True, it is worth noting that in some families, pastime for cards is treated very, very dismissively. Or they even impose a domestic veto on card games, believing that cards are entertainment for idlers and cheaters. Although cards have been played and will be played by all sectors of society - from the highest echelons of power to low-income families. The main thing here is to know the measure. And it happens that they sit down at the table in the evening and do not go out until the morning. The same applies to other gambling games - dominoes, lotto, backgammon - it's up to you what to stake and where to draw the line between entertainment and a tough fight. In such games, the rules are always clearly defined, and therefore there is almost nowhere for fantasy to turn around. But you can relax and at the same time train your memory and observation. Such games in the family circle are good because there is a share of excitement, emotional richness, but without the risk of getting a club on the head for an unfair win or, conversely, paying off the winner all his life.

Of course, it is rare to find a family in which they play chess and “Cossack robbers” with the same interest, selflessly cut themselves into a “fool” and arrange a home “show of stars”. The playing style is primarily determined by the personalities of family members. For example, a phlegmatic person will not jump around the apartment, playing blind man's blind, he prefers a quiet pastime for checkers or solitaire.

But if the relatives got together, and even determined to play, have fun with the whole friendly crowd, then the choice of the game will not be a problem. The most important thing is attitude!

What to do if you have free time, but ideas for filling it do not visit? Of course, there are many variations on this theme, as well as temporary opportunities for each of us. For some of us, even ten minutes free from professional duties can bring a lot of impressions, while for some, half a life of inactivity is boring and uninteresting. Something urgently needs to be addressed, because any activity (mental or physical) gives a new impetus that inspires feats and gives impetus to life.

Entertainment without money

With limited finances, leisure options are reduced to a narrow circle consisting of watching TV, reading books and exciting computer games with which you can even save the world. But over time, it becomes boring to spend time in this mode, and the soul requires innovation in leisure.

You can listen to the opinion of psychologists and rearrange the furniture in the room, so you kill two birds with one stone - and physically occupy yourself, and the new look of your home will allow you to take a fresh look at life.

If you were fond of keeping diaries in your childhood and youth, then new opportunities open up for you - the Internet has certain areas where you can post your entries, that is, blogs. Other users will read your thoughts and admire your creativity. So you get two bonuses - both public recognition and profit if your business is commercial.

Origami is work for hands, brain and soul. You will not only discover new facets of logic and creativity in yourself, but also calm your nerves. Start with simple shapes and develop your skills over time to more complex structures such as animals or people.

For sports it is not necessary to have an expensive subscription to an elite sports center. Excellent physical shape, good mood and good spirits are achieved through exercises at home, on horizontal bars in the yard, stadium or picturesque park near the house. The main thing is that you have a desire. Even ordinary walking helps to inspire new goals and achieve new heights.

So that the weekend is not in vain

We love to spend the long-awaited weekend relaxing, but this does not mean passive idleness. You always want new impressions, sensations, emotions. Therefore, feel free to go to the premiere of a new film, a play, or let yourself taste the national cuisine, hitherto unfamiliar. But going to the zoo will amuse you and give you a new dose of health, both moral and physical.

Women will not remain indifferent to shopping, because everything new, even if it is useless, gives a lot of positive emotions. If your finances do not allow you to purchase goods from famous designers and great perfumers, then use the old method of pensioners - first buy a thing, and take it back to the store the next day. So you leave the money in your wallet, and rejoice for a while.

Water is the basis of everything on the planet, so do not neglect water pleasures in the sea, river, pool and water park. Sauna or bath will cleanse the body of harmful toxins, and thoughts - of negative beliefs. And you will wake up the next day in a great mood and well-being.

Passing time at work

You don't always have to work every minute at work. There are many professions that require your actions only occasionally. For example, a duty officer in a hostel, or a salesperson in a store with low traffic, or an office worker - these professions are only occasionally fully loaded, and the working day lasts from morning to evening. In this case, it is extremely necessary to somehow entertain yourself.

If your system administrator is in a good mood, then play games on your work computer, if today he got up on the wrong foot, then limit yourself to flash games that do not require installation. Although a more useful solution would be to read books that develop intelligence and write stories that allow you to express yourself creatively.

Education can be obtained not only in universities, but also independently with the help of special electronic or printed publications. Often in tutorials, the program is already compiled, and you just need to follow the instructions - read, watch the video and listen to the audio. With this approach to spending your free time, you gain a chance to become a more educated person and find another, more interesting job.

Occupation for all occasions

Regardless of your age, gender, appearance, race and religion, you can devote yourself to the universal pastime - juggling!

This exciting hobby allows you to physically improve your appearance, and become smarter and more persistent in life. Through juggling, the brain begins to work in a special way, thanks to this, a state is achieved that enhances creativity. By practicing this activity, you will develop a sense of purpose and overcome the fear of making mistakes. Moreover, today juggling is available to everyone, on the Internet you can easily find training lessons.

Often a person who works or studies does not know how to spend his free time, which, as a rule, is not so much. However, do not lose heart - there are many ways to spend your leisure time properly.

How to spend leisure time alone

It happens that from all the acquaintances and friends, no one can really free himself. And so you have to rest alone. But do not despair, because relaxing alone is not at all necessary to watch movies or TV shows at home. You can go to the sports ground and give yourself a good workout. All you need for this is a sports uniform and, of course, a sports ground. It also does not hurt to download some workout to your phone or player, after which you can go outside and play sports.

How to spend leisure time with your soulmate

If you have a soulmate, then spending leisure time with her is a real holiday. After all, here you can not limit yourself to your imagination and go, for example, for a walk around the city. Walking, cycling or driving - it doesn't matter. The main thing is that the two of you will definitely have fun.

One of the favorite activities of couples is to keep video diaries. Record some videos that will stay with you for a long time. If you have a camera, feel free to arrange a photo session.

You can also arrange a competition. For example, sports. Your leisure, indeed, can become saturated. Most importantly, give free rein to your imagination!

How to spend leisure time with friends

In addition to standard trips to the club or spending time together in the gym, playing a computer game, you can go hiking. It seemed that such a thing would take a lot of time, especially since preparation would be required. However, in fact, all you need is a car, barbecue and barbecue. Of course, proper clothing doesn't hurt. Getting out of the city on the weekend is not a problem. And if there is also a tent, then you can arrange a real hike with an overnight stay.

In addition to the hike, you can find an activity that will appeal to, if not everyone, then most. Now in many cities there are shooting clubs where you can try your hand at archery or crossbow shooting.

Finally, if you love sports, then go for a cyclo-cross or marathon run with your friends.

How to organize children's leisure

Children, first of all, need fresh air. Given that they are also extremely active, it is best to start the day with a walk and take pictures or shoot a family video. Then you can go to an amusement park or a zoo, and a joint game of football, volleyball and other team sports would be an excellent option.

In the evening, you can come home and relax with a cup of tea or hot chocolate. Watch a family movie. In addition, you can come up with an interesting game for children. For example, you can hide some object, draw a map and make riddles-hints. The winner is a prize.

You can find out more about how to spend your leisure time in the section.

Many young parents make the mistake of leaving everything to chance and giving their child the opportunity to organize their leisure time on their own. Since modern children prefer computer games and all kinds of gadgets, which in most cases negatively affects the psycho-emotional development of the child, his socialization, contributes to the child's incorrect perception of the world around him, and also leads to visual impairment and the formation of incorrect posture. Of course, in strictly limited quantities, computer games are harmless, but you need to remember that parents should take into account the age restrictions when buying a game.

The child's leisure must necessarily include outdoor walks and communication with peers.

Walking, especially in forested areas and other places where the air is cleaner than in the city center, has a beneficial effect on overall well-being and mood. Immunity increases, brain cells are saturated with oxygen. Under the influence of the sun, the body produces serotonin, a hormone that plays an important role in blood clotting processes and affects mood (otherwise it is called the “hormone of happiness”), and vitamin D is also produced.

Being outdoors is beneficial at any time of the year. However, of course, we should not forget that being outside for a long time in frosty weather can lead to hypothermia, and in the sun you should definitely wear a hat and sunglasses.

Children's walks can be made more varied and more fun with the help of outdoor games. Previously popular games in "Catch-up", "Hide-and-seek", "Tag", "Rubber bands" and others, among modern children have lost their relevance. Adults should tell children more about such games, explain to them the rules of the game, since outdoor games are a great way of communication between children of different ages and different sexes. Also, light physical activity (running, jumping) has a beneficial effect on the child's body.

Sports games are also of great benefit, which, if you have equipment, can be arranged outside the sports section. These can be ball games: football, volleyball, basketball, as well as table and tennis, badminton.

In winter, children enjoy sledding (in safe places), snowball fights and snowman building.

Of course, most children are more interested in interacting with their peers while walking, but what if the child is walking with an adult? You can always take a child to study the world around him, talk about nature, animals and plants found on the street. You can walk on the playground, where there are swings and sandboxes. If you have financial opportunities, you can go with your child to the zoo, an amusement park.

Parents can purchase roller skates, a bicycle or a scooter, which also contributes to the diversity of the child's leisure time when walking in the fresh air. First you need to tell him about safety precautions. The kid can be rolled in a stroller, on a special children's bicycle with a handle, and in winter on a sled. Children during such walks watch with interest what is happening around.

It is equally important to be able to organize the leisure of the child at home. Kids need to read educational books and fairy tales. Schoolchildren can read on their own, but adults should instill a love of reading and books from early childhood. Listening to audiobooks is also popular, but don't completely replace reading with them.

You should show your child good beautiful cartoons.

The baby should have paints, pencils and coloring books, as well as clean paper for drawing. Drawing has a beneficial effect on the emotional state of a person. The child should draw what he wants, this will help him express his emotions and thoughts, which he sometimes cannot express out loud, and keeping everything in himself is harmful, which is a well-known fact.

With a child, you can sing, sculpt from plasticine, make a herbarium, paper crafts, cut out paper dolls. You can cook with older girls, it is also useful to teach them to sew, embroider or weave from beads. Recently, such a hobby as scrapbooking has become popular.

It is imperative that the child takes part in cleaning the house, more often children do not like to help their parents, but in any case it will be beneficial. An older child can be assigned to care for a pet.

Children are very fond of role-playing games, such as "Mothers and Daughters", "Doctor-Patient" and others. Often, adults do not have time for this, so if possible, you can allow the child to invite a friend or several friends to the house at once. At the same time, you should make sure that the parents of your little guest are aware of where he is.

The kids love to visit each other. Together it is much more interesting to play with dolls and cars. Also, the guys love to collect puzzles, listen to music, fill out friendly questionnaires, which you can first teach the child to do with their own hands.

Watching TV can be beneficial if the child watches educational channels, programs about travel, culture, and art. There are also good youth films for older children and teenagers that can help the child draw conclusions about what is good and what is bad in relationships with others. Viewing of non-teen channels should be supervised or limited to late hours.

Preschool children should be involved. It is necessary to teach the child to read and count, to develop writing skills, however, if the baby does not attend kindergarten, such classes should rather become mandatory, be held at a certain time of the day and should be perceived by the child as something mandatory, because such activities discipline and develop perseverance, patience .

So, the child should spend his free time usefully. From classes, he should enjoy, food for the mind. Properly organized leisure will be beneficial for well-being and intelligence. Children should be shown all the possibilities of a proper and useful pastime and they should be allowed to make their own choice in favor of what interests them.
