A selection of intellectual games for 5th grade (how to make good use of recess)

Drawing “in Latin”

Each plant has its own name:

• chamomile,
• cactus,
• oak
• or rose.

But not only the usual name, but also a scientific one, which was invented for the plant by scientists - biologists. As a rule, the scientific name is in Latin, an ancient language. Our task is to draw several plants by their Latin names. Titles:

• Circulus visuosus;
• cockroach physohydrius;
• rhombium perforatum;
• orbicularis demonstrandium;
• Curiculum mirrorius.

Old profession - new name

Undoubtedly, all professions are important in their own way. At all times, there have been many different professions - prestigious or low. The most unattractive professions were renamed in order to somehow smooth out the differences between higher and lower spheres. For example,

• the profession of a fireman was called “boiler room operator”,
• cleaning lady - “technical employee”.

Let's come up with decent names for the following professions:

• shoe shiner,
• to the shepherd,
• dishwasher,
• laundress
• and the janitor.

Letter from Vanya Zhukov – creative competition

Story by A.P. Chekhov, which has become a classic, is familiar to everyone. A story about a boy, Vanka Zhukov, who wrote about his difficult life to his grandfather, Konstantin Makarych. At the end of his letter, Vanechka begged his grandfather to take him away from the shoemaker Alekhine. It is necessary to use your imagination and come up with a new version of Vanka’s letter. But, on the condition that Vanka is already a modern boy and he sends his letter from:

• children's hospital,
• choreography studios;
• tourist trip,
• sports section,
• music school.

Bolero

There are such musical works that almost all people love, regardless of whether they are close to art or not. "Bolero" is one of such works. It was written by the French composer Morris Ravel.

This music is often used in synchronized swimming or figure skating, gymnasts and acrobats. Dancers especially often use this melody. Let's come up with another dance to this music and call it this:

• "Loader at work";
• "Sapper and mine";
• “A thief in someone else’s apartment”;
• "Watchman on Guard";
• "Surgeon in the operating room."

Extravagant hairstyle

A hairstyle is not only a way to cut or style hair, but also a special symbol at all times. From the hairstyle one could easily determine what tribe a person was from, what his status, religion and political views were. Also, due to the hairstyle, a person could stand out from the crowd or assert himself. Young people, wanting to assert themselves, always wore rather unusual hairstyles. The task is to create new unusual hairstyles for young people. Hairstyles should attract attention, that is, be extravagant. Here are the names for the hairstyles:

• “mammoths are not extinct!”,
• "explosion at a pasta factory"
• "attack by left flank"
• "Bakhchisarai fountain"
• and "uncompressed strip".

Friends, this collection contains only a few competitions for 5th grade schoolchildren (to be honest, they are also suitable for older children: 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade), but we have a large number of these competitions - choose what you like!

New Year's competition program for 5-6 grades.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Congratulations to everyone who came to this hall! Let's start, let's start... NEW YEAR'S CARNIVAL

Presenter:

Today we joyfully welcome you.
We say to all guests who come here: “Happy New Year!” With new happiness!" Presenter
(unfolds the envelope): A telegram came to our address: “Meet me, I will be very glad, I will come as soon as possible.
I only have a request for you - help Grandfather. My memory has become too bad, so answer it yourself, What is another name for me in various countries? Both Snegurochka and I are glad to meet you. We will be with you soon, our sleigh is racing. There's a whole cart of gifts in them. Your beloved Santa Claus." Host:
Guys, while we are waiting for Santa Claus, let's hold a competition program. After all, today we have gathered here to have fun, play and frolic. And fairy-tale heroes will help us with this: the clever Malvina, the perky Pippi Longstocking and the naughty Mashenka

I propose to divide into three teams. To do this, each person from this magic hat will draw a token on which the emblem of your team will be drawn. And Malvina, Pippi and Mashenka will help you attach emblems to your costumes.

So, we have three teams: Christmas trees, Snowflakes and Bells

For winning each competition you will receive these New Year medals. And the team that gets the most medals will be the winner.

So, let's go to the Santa Claus Competition

You have to guess the names of New Year's grandfathers in different countries. One is selected from the proposed options. • Pere Noel? (Norway, France, Spain.) • Toshigami? (Japan, China, Italy.) • Weinachteman? (India, Türkiye, Austria.) • Julemand? (Belgium, Poland, Norway.) • Santa Claus? (Iraq, Ethiopia, USA.)

On New Year's Day there is always cheerful music and we sing cheerful songs. Our next competition is “ Musical”

". Teams are invited to sing the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest,” replacing the words with woof-woof, meow-meow, quack-quack.

Competition "Snowballs".

Team members line up. There is a basket in front of them at a distance of 2-3 meters. Each participant must lift a piece of paper to make a ball of snow and fall into the basket. Whichever team throws the most snowballs into the basket wins.

Competition "Happy New Year" . Teams line up in columns, at a distance of 5-7 meters from the leader. There are three chairs next to the leaders. You need to run to a chair, sit on it, say “Happy New Year” and, having heard the response “Happy New Year” from the presenter, return to your place and pass the baton to your neighbor. The team that completes the task faster wins.

Competition “I’m good” Do you remember the phrase from the cartoon: “Whoever praises me best will receive a big sweet candy”? In our case, whoever praises himself the most will be the winner. The game is played on the principle of an auction; the last one to name his value is the winner. One representative per team.

The next competition is “Dance”

. To the music, each team stands in a circle and performs first the Babok-Yozhek dance, and then the Snowflakes dance.

Competition – “The Christmas tree is a beauty.”

Each team must decorate a Christmas tree. One participant takes the toy, hangs it on the Christmas tree, returns to the team and passes the baton to the next one. Whichever team hangs toys on the Christmas tree faster and does it more carefully wins.

Competition "Save the Snowman"

Our snowmen had a misfortune - their carrot noses fell off. We invite one person per team. You must place the carrot in place while blindfolded.

Competition "Film, film, film"

1. What is the name of the film in which the main character is all in white, flying in a sleigh across the sky, but not the Snow Maiden? (“The Snow Queen”) 2. What was the name of the boy whom his father, mother, brothers and sisters left alone at home for the Christmas holidays? (Kevin - “Home Alone.”) 3. What material was made of the main character of the cartoon “Last Year’s Snow Was Falling,” whom his mischievous wife sent into the forest to get a New Year’s tree? (Made from plasticine.) 4. What New Year’s toy did the king of mice turn the young prince into in A. Hoffmann’s fairy tale? (Nutcracker.)

Competition - “Collect cones”

One person per team, blindfolded, must collect as many cones as possible into a bucket.

And at the end of our competition program, I propose to jointly organize a “New Year's Impromptu Theater”.

Spectators are given cards with the names of the roles. When their role is called, they go on stage and perform the proposed action.

Roles: sun, wind, cloud, trees 2 pcs., bunny, hedgehog, apple, snowflakes 4 pcs. TALE The sun is shining brightly. Suddenly the wind blew. A small cloud ran into the sun. The trees are shackled in winter sleep. A bunny ran up to the tree. He stood on his hind legs and waved his ears cheerfully. Carefully, sniffing the ground, the hedgehog approached the bunny. There was a nice apple sitting on its thorns. At this time the first snow fell on the ground. Cheerful snowflakes swirled in the air and landed on the ground. Soon the snow covered the hare and the hedgehog. But then the sun came out again. It shone brightly, and the snowflakes melted. And the friends, freed from the snow, shook themselves off, rejoiced at the sun, jumped up and down, and each ran their own way.

But for some reason Father Frost and the Snow Maiden have been absent for a long time. Let's call them (everyone shouts: Grandfather Frost, Snow Maiden)

Father Frost

Hello guys! Hello, dear adults! Together with the Snow Maiden we came to you for the holiday!

Snow Maiden

Grandfather and I heard that the guys here can sing, dance, and recite poetry wonderfully! So we came here to listen and see what you have learned!

Father Frost

Well, guys, what can you please us with now?

(5a performs the song New Year's toys)

Father Frost

Thank you guys. Grandfather was pleased, Snegurochka and I liked your performances.

Snow Maiden

May the New Year be a good friend to you, May troubles and bad weather pass you by, May your true friends not forget you. We wish you much, much happiness! How beautiful the New Year tree is! (with these words Santa Claus waves

Look how she dressed up.
staff and the Christmas tree lights up)
The dress on the Christmas tree is green silk, Bright beads on it, confetti!
You won’t find a better tree anywhere, With a good tree, the holiday is good! Let our holiday become happier and more wonderful, Let us all sing our favorite songs together! "Musical kaleidoscope".
Teams must guess the song from the first notes and perform the first verse

Snow Maiden.

And now we will all dance together ________________ repeat the movements of our dancing fairy-tale heroes.

Leading

On New Year's Eve there is a tradition of telling fortunes. Let's tell our fortunes and find out what awaits us next year. This magic bag contains paper leaves with drawings of symbols. Your task: pull out one piece of paper at a time, look at the picture, wait until everyone pulls out their piece of paper, and then I will tell you what each symbol means.

heart - love, book - knowledge, 1 kopeck - money, sun - success, letter - news, a person's face - new acquaintance, arrow - achieving a goal, watch - changes in life, road - trip, gift - surprise,

Of course, it was a comic fortune telling. I believe that only good, kind, bright things await us all in the new year. And of course a lot of gifts. Happy New Year!

Father Frost

The hour is coming - it's time to say goodbye. Goodbye, friends, goodbye! Happy New Year to all of you, with new happiness!

So, we are in the salon of a famous Japanese magician (whose role I will play), and we will be able to hear the thoughts of any of the guests. (The test is a joke. A cassette is prepared in advance with individual lines from songs with approximately the following content: 1. “Well, where are you, girls, girls, girls, short skirts, little skirts, little skirts...” 2. “Help me, help...” 3 “You abandoned me, you abandoned me...” 4. “These eyes opposite are a kaleidoscope of lights...”, etc. When the presenter - the magician approaches the next guest and begins to move his hands over the person’s head, the sound engineer turns on the cassette and everyone hears thoughts of the guest.
