How can fun and useful to organize entertainment on the street in the summer?

There are many types of mass games for children on the street . Some still remember our mothers and dads and their parents, others have emerged relatively recently. The most interesting of them are:

1. "Confusion". At least 8-10 kids play it. The driving or driving moves away or turn away, and players need to join hands, forming a chain, similar to the circle. Then the participants have to confuse it, not letting go of each other's hands: players climb or climb through the chain, twist their arms and legs. Then the children in a chorus call the hiding guides: "Confusion-confusion, disentangle us." Leaders must unravel the chain, moving the players, but without breaking their hands.
2. "Sparrows and crows." This is one of the most fun mass games on the street. Children are divided into two teams of "sparrows" and "crows", which become at a distance of about 2-3 m from each other. When the leading adult gives the command "sparrows", the corresponding team rushes to catch up with the opponents, and when he says "crows", "feathered" participants change places. The intrigue is that the presenter speaks these words very slowly, in syllables, so that players until the last are in ignorance of what to do. The game continues until the members of the catch-up team catch all of their competitors from the evading team.
3. "Centipede". This entertainment refers to the most simple and amusing mass children's games on the street. It consists in the fact that players are divided into several teams that compete in who will better follow the leader's instructions. At the same time, team members necessarily line up in a column and take each other from above by the shoulders or belt, forming an improvised "centipede". Their task is to execute commands such as "run around in circles," "move backwards," "move with jumps," "raise all right or left paws," "catch your tail," etc., without tearing the integrity of the "insect".
