Game program for children of primary and secondary school age “In search of a blooming fern on the eve of Ivan Kupala”
Decor: in the center there is a large water lily surrounded by small water lilies, in the corners there are flower arrangements and artificial fountains.
Characters: The presenters are two kupala girls, in Russian folk costumes, with wreaths of wild flowers on their heads. 10 assistants (can be in costumes of goblin, Lada, etc.).
(The call signs sound, turning into the melody of the dance composition “The Little Mermaid”, which is performed by the choreographic studio.
At the end of the dance, against the background of the music of the group “Ivan Kupala”, the presenters come out in the guise of girls-kupala.)
Presenter 1. Hello, good people!
Presenter 2. Guests are invited and welcome!
(They bow.)
Presenter 1. How the holiday of antiquity brought us here.
Presenter 2. Our summer holiday, revered.
Presenter 1. We will sing, dance,
Presenter 2. Look for forest treasure,
Presenter 1. Guessing fate
Presenter 2. Gain strength.
Presenter 1. According to the legend that has come down to us,
Presenter 2. There is an unusual hour on Midsummer's Day.
Presenter 1. A fiery flower blooms at night,
Presenter 2. But not everyone could find him there.
(Musical beat.)
Presenter 1. These are the words that could begin the holiday of Ivan Kupala in Rus'. It is celebrated in the new style on July 7, and in the old style on June 24.
Presenter 2. On Midsummer's Day there were many customs related to water. On this day they sang, danced, danced in circles, put flower wreaths on their heads, and jumped over fires.
Presenter 1. But the most important miracle of this holiday was the fern. According to legend, it blooms only one night a year - on the night of Ivan Kupala.
Presenter 2. Whoever is lucky enough to find a fern flower will find happiness and wealth. According to another legend, where a fern flower bloomed, a treasure was buried.
Presenter 1. Today we will also try our luck in finding a fiery flower. To do this, we will divide you into teams. Each team chooses a guide who wears a scarf of a certain color. This will serve as a guide for all team members.
(The music of the group “Ivan Kupala” is played. Each team is given a guide sheet and an identification sign - a scarf of “its” color. It is put on by the conductor.)
Presenter 2. A guidebook will help you find the treasured fern. In order for good luck to accompany you on the road and troubles to pass you by, you need to have a talisman with you. Your comrades dressed in costumes of fantastic creatures will act as a mascot. They will walk this difficult path with you and help you find the treasures hidden under the fern.
Presenter 1. And who can bring good luck? Of course, mermaids, fairies, elves and goblins, goblins and mermen. People from hell and other heavyweight monsters have no place at this bright festival of fertility and love.
Presenter 2. We invite all the fairy-tale creatures who have gathered at this holiday to a round dance.
(Music sounds. Children, demonstrating fabulous costumes, form a round dance.)
Presenter 1. The most powerful and effective talisman is worthy not only of your applause, but also of a holiday gift.
(Determining the winner, presenting him with the main gift. Encouraging all participants in the carnival competition.)
Presenter 2. We believe that all the talismans along the way will definitely gain magical power and help you win.
Presenter 1. Very soon you will be on your way. To make yours come true cherished wish, according to ancient tradition, it is necessary to overcome twelve “vegetable gardens” or “fences”, i.e. pass twelve tests indicated in the guide sheet.
Presenter 2. After passing them, you will see twelve ferns. Choose one of them. Maybe you will be lucky and the fern you choose will point to a treasure. At the end of the road, our roads must bring us together. We will be waiting for everyone in this clearing with the selected ferns. Go for the fiery flower!
(Music sounds. Teams disperse to stations to complete tasks.)
Options for tasks at stations:
“Launch the red rooster!” The main feature of Kupala night is the bonfires. They danced around them, jumped over them: whoever is more successful and taller will be happier. We suggest using running hurdles as fire pits. Standing in one line, each of you jumps over all the “bonfires” in turn, trying not to knock them over.
Those who did not manage to overcome all the fires perform a penalty jump over the rope.
(In the case of an additional jump, the penalty boxers stand in one line and make three jumps over a rope, which is rotated by two players.)
Props: 6 running hurdles, jump rope.
"Collection of medicinal herbs." Herbs and flowers collected and dried on Ivan Kupala were cherished, considering them more healing than those collected at other times. They fumigated the sick with them and fought against evil spirits.
Select from the proposed medicinal herbs those that can cure the indicated ailments. If you answer incorrectly, you will have to complete an additional task.
Grass Diseases
Bleeding Shepherd's Purse
Rheumatism Nettle
Burns and wounds Hare cabbage
Cough or cold Coltsfoot
Heart Disease Valerian
(As an additional task, participants are asked to list as many medicinal herbs as possible whose names begin with the letter “P”. Answer options: tansy, shepherd’s purse, plantain, fern, peppermint, wormwood, etc.)
Props: tablet, needles, cards with the names of diseases and medicinal herbs.
"Underwater Key" On Midsummer's Day, all games were played near the water. All water - river, well, spring and even morning dew - was considered beneficial to health.
In front of you are containers filled with water. Each of them contains a mysterious key, but only one of them matches the chest with a clue. Choose one player who has a light hand. In case of failure, the chance is given to the next participant.
Props: 12 plastic buckets of water, 12 keys, lock, chest, towel.
"Round dance" . A common dance of the Kupala night is the round dance. Let's learn one of its types. Hold each other's hands and, without releasing your arms, begin to spin in a round dance. To do this, the last two players, without moving, form a “gate” (raise their hands). The first participant leads everyone else through this “gate”. One of the players forming the “gate” turns his back to his partner, while placing his right hand on his right shoulder with his partner’s left hand. The game continues until all participants are twisted into the fence, for which the free player standing near the penultimate one (who formed the gate for the first time) forms a new gate.
"Bath". On the eve of Ivan Kupala, July 6, our great-grandfathers celebrated the day of Agrafena Bathing. On this day they opened the swimming season or visited the bathhouse.
In front of you is one of the bath attributes - an iron bathtub. Try to fit the whole team in it at once. Those who do not fit in will use bath brooms to steam themselves.
(In the case of an additional task, the team that does not fit in is given one broom made from a newspaper. Participants, passing it from hand to hand, try to whip the broom as quickly as possible.)
Props: iron bathtub, 12 newspaper brooms.
"Ritual Tree" . On the holiday of Ivan Kupala, a ritual tree was chosen, usually a birch, and decorated with multi-colored ribbons and wreaths of flowers.
Use ribbons, bows and scraps to decorate your tree. The friendly work of the entire team and the originality of the design are taken into account.
Props: ribbons, bows, shreds.
"Drive away evil spirits" . On the night of Ivan Kupala, evil forces gathered from all over. To prevent the spirits from causing harm, people kept wormwood and thistle with them, made sacrifices in the form of food, and also tried to cover their tracks.
Running the distance on a broom, each participant tries to cover up the traces drawn in chalk. As a result of all participants jogging, the tracks should disappear completely.
Props: broom, chalk.
"Holiday fortune telling" . On the night of Ivan Kupala, various fortune tellings were common. They treated fortune telling lightly, as a fun activity in which they could give free rein to their imagination and creativity.
Everyone who wants to tell fortunes can put one thing in this box. Selecting one of the things by touch, the presenter simultaneously takes out a fortune card from another box.
Prediction options:

By ringing the bell, the “elf” moves in a circle, and the “man” tries to catch him. The faster the “man” catches the “elf”, the faster the next pair will enter the game. The game is played three times.
Props: bell, blindfold.
"Folk song" . On the holiday of Ivan Kupala, songs were heard here and there. Some of them have survived to this day. They echo the unity of our ancestors with nature.
Perform the well-known Russian song “A Birch Tree Stood in the Field” with characteristic movements.
“Pick up a broom.” On the eve of Ivan Kupala, bath brooms began to be prepared. In the old days they were collected from twigs of various trees.
Guess which ones:
Alena is standing.
Green scarf,
Slim figure
White sundress. (Birch.)
Takes from my flower
The bee has the most delicious honey.
But they still offend me:
The thin skin is torn off. (Linden.)

Bending low, he stands over the river.
Whispers to herself:
“How beautiful I am!”
Do you know her,
After all, this is... (Willow.)
And the berries made me shiver
The dress is colorful... (Rowan berries.)
It's like a snow globe is white,
In the spring it bloomed,
It gave off a delicate scent.
And when the time has come,
At once she became

Scenario of the holiday "Ivan Kupala"Location: Country or school health camp.
Participants: Primary and secondary schoolchildren.
Goals: Acquaintance with the traditions and customs of the Russian people in the celebration of Ivan Kupala. Development of motor activity, prevention of physical inactivity in schoolchildren.
Progress of the event
(If possible, the holiday is held by the pool; if this is not possible, you can use an inflatable pool or other wide but shallow container, but you can do without it)
Girls come out (there can be 8-12 of them) in Russian folk costumes. A mandatory detail is wreaths on the heads. They sing a song in chorus and walk in a circle.
To Ivan, to Kupala
The girl's song sounded...
I won't be there until the morning
Have fun around the fire!
I'll sit, I'll sit under a bush
And I’ll weave myself a wreath.
You float, float the wreath,
To a distant shore,
Where there is clear water,
Where my falcon circles...
Into the hands of the young man, my friend,
Float my wreath
At the last words, the girls take off their wreaths and float them across the water. If there is no body of water, the wreaths are not removed. At the end of the song, they line up in a semicircle opposite the audience and begin to talk about the traditions of the holiday.
1st A and hello, you are dear guests!
And the girls here are all young,
And the guys here are all smart!
2nd A and today is a difficult day,
And the day is July, the seventh.
And a special time has come,
We should celebrate Ivan Kupala.
3rd Once upon a time, guys.
Kupala had a different date.
4th Subtract two weeks from today,
Yes, you will get that old date.
5th Guys, who was able to get the original date of Ivan Kupala? Right. This is June 24, or more precisely, the night from June 23 to 24. On these dates, the nights are the shortest and the days are the longest of the year. These days are called the summer solstice.
6th In the old days, it was believed that on this day every year the fate of the world is decided: whether there will be Light or the world will be swallowed up by the evil Darkness. Every year the forces of Good win the battle, but this victory does not come by itself.
3rd. So now we will “make” a fire and jump over it. If you want to jump, come here. Of course, we won’t make a real fire, it’s dangerous. But let's jump with all our hearts!
A fire can simply be a tall pile of brushwood (unlit, of course). Boys and girls who want to jump over the fire stand in pairs, hold hands, run and jump.
4th. Here is another interesting old game “Tails”. They play in pairs. Each player receives a rope of the same length as their opponent. The rope is tucked into the waistband of the trousers so that 2/3 hangs down the back like a tail. Each player must take the tail from the opponent without giving up his own at the same time. During the game, you must not push, fight, grab everything except the tail, or trip the animal. The winner is the one who took the enemy's tail, but saved his own. You can play with 4-5 people at the same time, the goal is to save your tail and collect more tails of your opponents
5th A I will play the game “Water” with you.
The driver sits in a circle with his eyes closed. The players move in a circle saying:
Watery, Watery,
Why are you sitting under water?
Come on out,
Sit with us.
The circle stops. The merman gets up and, without opening his eyes, approaches one of the players. His task is to determine who is in front of him. The merman can touch the player standing in front of him, but he cannot open his eyes.
If Vodyanoy guessed right, he changes role, and now the one whose name was named becomes the driver.
6th. People associated ideas about miracles with Ivan Kupala Day. On the night of Kupala it was impossible to sleep, as all the evil spirits came to life and became active: witches, werewolves, ghouls, mermaids... On Midsummer's night, witches become more dangerous, and therefore you should put nettles on the threshold and on the windowsills to protect yourself from their attacks. It is necessary to lock the horses so that the witches do not steal them and ride them to Bald Mountain: the horse will not return from there alive!
The game “Unenchant me, black horse!” is being played!
Participants in the game choose a leader. The presenter's task is to “tarnish” all the players. To do this, all participants scatter in different directions, and the leader, catching up, touches the shoulders of the players with a light touch. The one who has been “stained” freezes in place, spreads his arms to the sides and shouts: “Unbewitch me, the black horse!” You can “crucify” your friends only with a hot hug. So, the task of the leader is to “tarnish” all the players, the task of the players is to help each other out.
7th. At midnight on Kupala the fern blooms. A wonderful fiery flower can show the lucky person the location of all treasures, no matter how deeply they are buried. Around midnight, a bud appears on the wide leaves of the fern, which rises higher and higher, then staggers, turns over and begins to “jump”. Exactly at midnight, a ripe bud opens with a bang and a fiery red flower emerges from it. A person cannot pick it, but if he sees it, all his wishes will come true. We, too, will now “pluck” a wonderful fern flower, but they will replace it for us... your caps.
2 players come out. On command, they begin to tear the caps off the heads of the seated spectators and put them on their own heads. At the command “Stop” they stop. The one who collects the most “flowers” will win. The game is played 3-4 times. “Stop” is better to say after 30-40 seconds. After all games, one winner is revealed.
8th And here are a few more examples and beliefs of Midsummer. On Midsummer night, oil is collected in a vessel on ant heaps, which is recognized as a healing agent against various ailments.
1st On Kupala night, trees move from place to place and talk to each other through the rustling of leaves; Animals and even herbs talk to each other, which are filled with special, miraculous power that night.
2nd If on this night you pick the Ivan da Marya flower and put it in the corners of the hut, the thief will not approach the house: brother and sister (yellow and purple flowers of the plant) will talk to each other, and the thief will think that the owner and mistress are talking .
3rd At midnight, without looking, you need to pick flowers and put them under your pillow, and in the morning check whether you have collected twelve different herbs. If you have enough, you will get married this year. They place a triputnik (plantain) under the head, saying: “Triputnik-fellow traveler, you live along the road, you see young and old, say my betrothed!”
4th If you climb twelve gardens on Midsummer Day, any wish will come true.
The game "12 fences" is being played
At different places of the playground, barriers are placed or ready-made safe fences and fences are designated as fences. It is better to place them at different distances. Each fence has a serial number. The player starts and climbs over the indicated fences in order, and then returns to the start. Each player is timed. The winner is the one whose time is minimal.
The girls again stand in a circle and say a chant
Rain, rain! Rain, rain!
On me and on people!
Spoon on me
On people in a bowl,
And for the devil in the forest - Lay a whole bucket!
Ivan Kupala, pour it on anyone!
The fun begins - pouring water on each other from sprinklers, because July 7th is usually a hot day. You can arrange competitions for the most interesting sprinkler, for the distance of the jet, etc. You can play many games related to water on this day.
"Get an apple"
A bowl of clean water is placed on a stool, with apples floating in it. The participant without hands must get the apple only with his teeth. The one who does it the fastest will win. It is better to take medium-sized apples.
"Russian shower"
A container of water is suspended from the horizontal bar. This could be a small plastic bucket with a rope hanging down from it. You need to hang it so that when you pull the rope, the bucket turns over and the water pours out. The driver holds the end of the rope. The player runs under the horizontal bar, trying to dodge the shower, and the driver tries to prevent this. The winner is the one who remains dry at the end of the game. Since water will be pouring out all the time, it needs to be periodically added to the bucket, so it is better to choose not the highest horizontal bar, but one that an adult can reach.
Very soon - July 7 - there will be a holiday of Ivan Kupala, on which, according to tradition, games and rituals with water are held. Why not tell your children about interesting customs of the past, and at the same time have fun playing with water? We present 10 budget games that both adults and children will enjoy.

May you be healthy and live for many years!
IVAN: - Let's freshen up and play with water!
A game "Get the apple out of the water" 2 teams of willing players
Apples are thrown into a bowl of water (balls) and players try to catch the apple and get it out of the water. The team that gets the most apples out of the water wins. (play for 2 minutes)
IVAN: - Well done, how friendly we played! Here's another fun one!
A game "Water Carriers"
2 teams, 1 container with water (from which they will draw water, 2 buckets, 2 mugs (plastic). You need to scoop up water with a mug, bring it to the bucket without spilling, and pour it into the bucket. Whoever fills the bucket the fastest is the winner.
IVAN: - Today is full of magic! On this day, trees whisper and plants talk. And the most important miracle is the fern flower. It blooms only once a year. And whoever finds it will be happy and will find a treasure! But the path to this flower is difficult; many obstacles must be overcome. And it is not easy to approach him, since he is guarded by evil spirits.
Baba Yaga's song is playing. To the music she flies up on her broom and dances.
IVAN: - Why did you come here? Your job is to protect the flower!
BABA YAGA: - Yes, it’s an interesting thing, they’re here to have fun, and I’m going to protect the flower. What boredom! Then you have nothing to do here either! You won't have any fun. I tell you I'll ruin the holiday. Now, as soon as I sweep you with a broom, you will run away from here without looking back, only your heels will sparkle. Woo-hoo!
Swings a broom.
IVAN: - It’s okay for you to frighten children. They won’t be the shy ones, and besides, they brought amulets with them, and they wove wreaths. They are not afraid of evil spirits. It's you who should be afraid.
Children take off the wreaths and hold them in front of them with both hands.
BABA YAGA: - Chur, chur, chur! (shaking). Put them away. Okay, I won’t bother you, but can I play with you? Just don't drive away. I'm so bored in this forest, but it will be fun with you!
ALENUSHKA: - Well, so be it, stay. Do you know any games?
BABA YAGA: - Certainly. My favourite game "Flight in a mortar". Now I'll see who flies better than me.
A game "Flight in a mortar" 2 teams compete to see who flies better in a mortar.
Each team has a stupa hoop, everyone takes turns sitting in the stupa, running to the chair, running around it and returning back. The team that flies the fastest in the mortars wins.
BABA YAGA: - And now I want to see how jumpy you are.
Game "Granny Yozhka"
This game requires a broom (broom). Children stand in a circle. "Grandma-Yozhka" stands in the middle of the circle. The kids start teasing "Granny the Hedgehog":
Grandma-Yozhka, bone leg. I lit the stove, cooked my leg,
She went out onto the porch and ate the little man. And then he speaks.
AND "Grandma-Yozhka" speaks:- My stomach hurts.
And he begins to spin the broom in a circle above the ground. Children need to bounce to "Grandma-Yozhka" I didn’t hit them with the broom.
Whom "Grandma-Yozhka" hits him with a broom, she puts him on a bench. They play until "Grandma-Yozhka" won't catch everyone.
A game “The sea is agitated once...”
ALENUSHKA: - Guys, all stand up in a big round dance. We pronounce the words loudly, in chorus, the figures freeze and do not move, and Baba Yaga will be the leader, she will walk and choose the figure that moves. The piece that moves is out of the game! (Play 3 – 4 times)
BABA YAGA: - I know this game, now I I'll beat you all quickly!
IVAN: - Well, now, according to the old custom, all the guys need to jump through the fire, cleanse themselves of illness, gain strength and health. Ready?
Jumping over the fire
BABA YAGA: - Well done boys! You are so dexterous, resourceful, you know how to overcome obstacles - you don’t mind giving away treasure to someone like that. I’ll probably show you the way to the fern, in case you find a treasure there.
Children stand next to each other "little train", Baba Yaga leads "snake" children to the fern, they find a treasure, hand out candy.
IVAN and BABA YAGA:- Well, we had some fun this time holiday. We had a lot of fun with you. Now, goodbye until next year.
