You can offer your child to portray some fairy-tale hero, or just some kind of character: cry-baby or a fighter. The others have to guess who it shows.

Mirror
The game is played in pairs. The child repeats all the movements and facial expressions in front of standing. You can play in the "distorting mirror" - and then have to do the opposite. For example, if the master smiles - child frowns, if the master raised his arm - a child should be omitted.
Sculptor
Someone will be a sculptor, all the rest - clay. "Sculptor" sculpts the composition of the "clay" - puts everyone in the same order and in the poses as he likes. By the end we come up with the name of the masterpiece.
Broken phone
Unlike games where the ear whisper a word, in this case portrayed emotions. All participants, except for the master and the first child in the chain, turn a blind eye. Leading facial expressions and gestures of the child demonstrates some emotion. The child turns to the next standing participant, claps him on the shoulder, so he opened his eyes, and in the same way without words, gives him what he saw emotion. The second participant shows that emotion to a third player and so on until the last in the chain, which should be called the emotion, make a master.

Choosing a host and Owl. Owl sleeping in the corner in his nest. When the host says, "Day" - children dance fun. When the host says, "Night!" - all players must stand still, and the owl flies out of the nest and circled around his "prey." Who was the first stirs or laugh - becomes Owl.
rill
Participants are split into pairs, stand in two columns, join hands and raise them over your head. You get a kind of tunnel. One person single (master) is part of this lively corridor and selects a mate, breaking one of the "old". The new couple gets in front, and the one who lost the pair becomes the master. Play better with music: the cheerful music, the faster flowing "stream."
Towards the end we practice to communicate with words!
wizards
All the participants turn into magicians and can fulfill any wish - not only his own, but the other person. Let every "wizard" will give another something that, in his opinion, is not enough. For example: "I want to give Misha courage, that he was brave!". The main thing - that was a gift from the heart.
