Changeling game for a feast. Inverted movie titles The host invites guests to guess the “inverted” names of famous films. It is advisable to suggest if the changeling is a TV series or a foreign film. Inversions of lines from songs

Fables-reversals are songs or poems in which everything is turned upside down. Piglets fly in them, a hare sits on a birch tree, and flies eat a rooster. Such pictures evoke joyful children's laughter and strengthen the child's understanding of genuine, real connections between things and phenomena.

At the center of the fable is a obviously impossible situation, behind which, however, the correct state of affairs is easily guessed, because the shapeshifter plays up the simplest, well-known phenomena. Chukovsky introduced the term “shifter” and thoroughly explored this genre.

Researchers usually call this type of folklore amusing, including sections, tongue twisters, upside-down fables, and sometimes silences and voices.

Fables - shapeshifters for children

African crocodile
He swam into the White Sea,
He began to live at the bottom of the sea,
He built himself a house there!

Two caring lamas -
Llama-dad, Llama-mama,
Leaving the kids in the morning,
They hid in a hole with the mouse!

Spring has come to us again
With sleds and skates!
Spruce brought from the forest
Candles with lights!

The horse rode with horns,
A goat swam along the pavement,
By leaps and bounds
The worm came with a beard!

Look, look!
Vanya is riding on a trough!
And behind him are the boys
On a leaky tub!
And behind them is a hedgehog with a cat
They drive everyone with a whip!

Tell you an interest?
An elephant climbed a tree
Made a nest of twigs,
Cradling the babies!

The cook was preparing dinner
And then the lights were turned off.
Chef bream beret
And puts it in compote.
Throws logs into the cauldron,
He puts jam in the oven.
Stirs the soup with a poker,
Ugli hits with a ladle.
Sugar pours into the broth,
And he is very pleased.
That was the vinaigrette,
When the light was fixed.

Timoshka on a spoon
I was driving along the path,
Met Egor
Took me to the fence!
Thanks Timoshka,
The spoon has a good motor!

What kind of geese ran by?
Ears and tails between your legs?
Who is chasing them?
Maybe horses in a car?
No! They run from fear
What will catch up with the turtle!

Fables shifters for children of 2nd grade

Stop! Stop! Sorry guys.
It's my car's fault.
A mistake in poetry is not a trifle,
You need to print like this:

The grapes are ripe here.
Horned horse in the meadow
In summer he jumps in the snow.
Late autumn bear
Loves to sit in the river.
And in winter among the branches
"Ga-ha-ha!" - the nightingale sang.
Quickly give me the answer -
Is this true or not?

The poodle went with him, jumping over the fence.
Ivan, like a log, fell into a swamp,
And the poodle drowned in the river like an axe.
Ivan Toporyshkin went hunting,
With him the poodle started skipping like an axe.
Ivan fell through a log into a swamp,
And the poodle in the river jumped over the fence.
Ivan Toporyshkin went hunting,
With him, the poodle fell into the fence in the river.
Ivan, like a log, jumped over the swamp,
And the poodle jumped onto the axe.

The traffic light melts in the sun,
The shepherd barks at the cat
The snowman is meowing in the corner,
The dump truck teaches lessons,
The chess player burns without smoke,
The spider caught the burbot,
The fisherman climbed onto the sheaf,
The red cat wrinkled his brow.
The student brought sand,
Fox Terrier blows a horn...
We need it soon
Put everything in its place!

Cucumbers play hide and seek
Kids grow in the garden
Musketeers sleep in a ravine,
The pigs sharpen their swords
Crayfish run to the circus in droves,
Children are dozing under a snag,
Wolves swim along the bottom,
The pikes howl at the moon.
What kind of mess is this?
Sharpen your pencil!
I order you
Put everything in its place!

Fables, shifters for children of the preparatory group

The angry cat barks loudly
The master's house is guarded by:
Stop, she won't let you in!
If you don't listen, he'll bite!

The hedgehog flapped its wings
And he fluttered like a butterfly.
Hare sitting on the fence
Laughed loudly and loudly!

It is snowing! It's so hot!
Birds are flying from the south!
Everything around is white and white -
Red summer has arrived!

Lived once
Lived once
Grandfather and grandmother
With a little granddaughter,
Your red cat
They called it Bug.
And they are crested
The foal's name was
And they also had
chicken Buryonka.
And they also had
Murka the dog,
And two more goats:
Sivka da Burka!

The dog sits down to play the accordion,
Red cats dive into the aquarium,
Canaries begin to knit socks,
Children's flowers are watered from a watering can.

A cat barks from a basket,
Potatoes grow on a pine tree,
The sea flies across the sky
The wolves ate my appetite.
The ducklings croak loudly,
Kittens croak subtly.
The onion crawled like a snake
It turned out to be a mess

It was in January
First of April.
It was hot in the yard
We're numb.
Over the iron bridge
Made from boards
A tall man was walking
Short in stature.
There was a curly man with no hair,
Thin as a barrel.
He didn't have children
Only son and daughter

Because of the forest, because of the mountains
Grandfather Yegor is coming.
Himself on a filly,
Wife on a cow
Children on calves
Grandchildren on baby goats.
We came down from the mountains,
They lit a fire
They eat porridge
Listening to a fairy tale

Folk tales

Listen guys
I will sing awkwardly:
A bull is flying on an eraplane,
A man plows a pig
A crow sits on the fence,
Blue berries are pecked,
A cow lies on a ditch
Belted with a horse.

A village was driving
Past the man
And from under the dog
The gates are barking:
"Guard, village,
The men are on fire!
Women in a sundress
They want to fill it up.”

A village was driving
Past the man
Suddenly from under the dog
The gates are barking.
Snatched the cart
He's from under the whip
And let's bludgeon
Her gate.
The rooftops got scared
We sat on the raven,
The horse is racing
A man with a whip.

A village was driving
Past the man
Suddenly from under the dog
The gates are barking.
A club ran out
With a boy in my arms,
And behind him is a sheepskin coat
With a woman on his shoulders.
Whip grabbed the dog
Soar a man
And the man with fear -
Bam under the gate.
The village shouted:
“The men are on fire!
Sundresses with women
They're rushing to the fire."

We have horses in galoshes,
And the cows are in boots.
We plow on carts,
And they harrow on a sleigh.

Timoshka in a basket
I drove along the path.
The dog on the strip hums,
The bear on the chain breaks.
Agathon is putting on his shoes on the stove.
Agafon's wife lived along the road,
I baked rolls.
How are these rolls
Hot all day.

Listen guys
I’ll sing a little song:
A cow sits on the fence
Takes cranberries,
A hare sits on a birch tree,
Measures leaves by arshin,
Collects on a needle,
To avoid wrinkles.

Senka mowed, I mowed,
Two haystacks were mowed,
The hay was dried on the stove,
They stirred the floors,
There were stacks of stacks on the floor,
The vegetable gardens were fenced,
To prevent mice from walking;
Cockroaches have worn out -
All the cattle were allowed through.

Nonsense, nonsense,
These are just lies!
The chickens ate the rooster -
The dogs talk.

Nonsense, nonsense,
These are just lies!
Hay being cut on the stove
Hammer crayfish.

Early in the morning, in the evening,
Late at dawn
Baba was walking
In a chintz carriage.

There's nonsense on the fence
Fried jam
The chickens ate the rooster
One Sunday.

The devil smeared his nose
Pomaded my hands
And brought it from the cellar
Fried pants.

Between heaven and earth
The pig was rummaging
And accidentally tail
Clings to the sky.

I'll stab the director in a minute
You'll be kicking!

Chesa got her head up.

The braid is tongued out.

God, God,
Give me skin
I'll make myself a shoe.
Without boots
I don't care -
The knife might get frostbitten.

This entertaining game of ingenuity is perfect for both teenagers and young adults, as well as for adults - it can be played with family or friends. And at an anniversary, wedding or corporate event, this entertainment will help fill the pause and amuse the guests.

Ready-made quest scenarios for children and adults. For detailed information, click on the image of interest.

The essence of the game is to guess as many shifters as possible. Changeling is the title of a book (film), or a line of a famous poem, or a proverb (saying), where all words replaced by antonyms, i.e. words that are opposite in meaning (coward-brave, earth-sky, good-evil, sweet-nasty, work-rest, run-stand, hot-cold). For example, Black Moon of the Jungle - inversion of the film title White Sun of the Desert.

For those words for which it is difficult to find antonyms, it is advisable to choose something suitable in meaning, even if they are synonyms; it is also sometimes possible not to change prepositions, conjunctions, particles and interjections (it is better to agree on the rules at the beginning of the game).

To make it clear to everyone, let us consider in detail the decoding of the inverted line from the poem:

I’m lying in front of the window by the bright room, dry...

We begin to look for replacement words: lying - standing or sitting, in front - behind or above, light - dungeon, dry - wet or damp.

Most people, having guessed only one or two key words, quickly recall the famous lines: I’m sitting behind bars in a damp dungeon...

Game options:

• Like an individual competition. You can buy small children's stickers in the form of berries, flowers, etc., and attach a sticker to everyone who is the first to guess the shapeshifter, and at the end, sum up: whoever has the most of them gets a prize.
• Like a competition between teams. To do this, the participants are divided into teams, then the leader gives each team identical tasks printed in advance. At the signal from the leader, the teams begin the game simultaneously. The team that guesses the most flips within a certain time wins.

I came up with almost all the shifters (with a few exceptions) myself. I hope you enjoy the options I've suggested.

As the New Year approaches, we remember one of my favorite games, very fun, requiring virtually no props other than a good mood and imagination - this is the game Changelings.

You can play it when everyone is sitting at the table, or on the go. And the ages of players on the same team can be completely different. Both adults and children enjoy playing it.

Purpose of the game— turn a phrase from the Changeling into the original one, or vice versa, reverse a phrase from a phrase known to everyone into the Changeling. How it's done:

1. words that can be matched with an antonym are replaced with it.
2. other words for which it is not possible to find an antonym are changed to the opposite from the player’s point of view. For example: what is the antonym for the word Porridge? Someone will say - Soup, someone - Cake, and the third will come up with something of their own. Or how to replace the preposition “with” with “from” or “on” or something else?

What makes the game interesting is that you can play it at every holiday, coming up with new Changelings for the same phrases. The inversions of proverbs are especially interesting - sometimes they have a very unusual meaning. It is convenient to take expressions that are familiar to everyone for phrases: these can be Proverbs, Sayings, Book titles, Lines from poems.

Props

For this game you need to make a printout of the phrases that will need to be turned over. And prepare paper and pencils.

Progress of the game

All participants in the game are divided into two teams. The presenter distributes Changelings to one team, and initial phrases to the other team. The task of each team is to turn the phrases around. The first team must guess the original phrase, the second must come up with their own version of Changeling.

You can play for a while, or until the last person completes the task. After all players have read out their options, the teams change roles. The first team is given initial phrases, and they come up with Changelings, and the second team guesses phrases from the Changelings.

I will give examples of some inversions of Proverbs

Glomerulus
Children are divided into pairs. Each pair is given a ball of thread and a thick pencil. At the leader’s signal, the children begin to rewind the ball onto a pencil. One of the children holds the ball, the second winds the thread around the pencil. The pair that completes the job the fastest wins. A second prize can be awarded for the neatest ball.

Potato
Invite the children to test their attentiveness, observation and reaction speed. It's very easy to do. Let the guys answer any of your questions: “Potatoes.” Questions can be addressed to everyone, and sometimes it is better to ask one. For example: “What do you have in this place?” (pointing to his nose). The reaction is not hard to imagine. Whoever makes a mistake leaves the game. Do not forget to forgive the most inattentive ones after the first two questions, otherwise you will have no one to continue the game with. Here are some questions to ask: What did you have for lunch today?
- What would you like to eat for dinner?
- Who is it that is late and is entering the hall now?
- What did your mother bring you as a gift?
- What do you dream about at night?
- What is the name of your favorite dog?... and so on.
At the end of the game, give the winners - the most attentive guys - a comic prize - a potato.

Cheerful sculptor
All players are divided into pairs, and then each one draws a task. The children are given 3-4 minutes to prepare.
Pairs must depict statues on a given topic, and the rest must guess in honor of what the “sculptor” erected such a “monument.”
Themes for statues can be as follows: in honor of gluttons, love, in honor of law enforcement officers, doctors, teachers, etc. This game takes into account the most original embodiment.

"Cabbage"
The presenter selects two of the players. Their task is to put on as many clothes as possible in a minute: two pants, three pairs of socks, a scarf, two hats - and thus portray a “copper” or “cabbage” who has come to visit and cannot undress on his own. It would also be advisable to tie his hands. Another condition: the clothes that the players have to wear are all together, which means that those who didn’t have time are late. The game is played until everyone who wants to participate in it.

REMOVING BUTTONS
Place the button on the index finger of your hand and, turning to your neighbor in the game, invite him to move the button onto his index finger. You are not allowed to use other fingers. The one who does not hold and drops the button is eliminated from the game.

THERMOMETER
Without using their hands, both teams quickly pass a fake thermometer (or an empty 1.5 liter bottle) so that it is necessarily under the player’s left hand.

On the count of 3
2-3 people play. The presenter announces the terms of the competition: I’ll tell you a story in a dozen phrases. As soon as I say the number 3, take the prize immediately. The following text is read: One day we caught a pike, gutted it, and inside we saw small fish, and not just one, but...seven. When you want to memorize poems, don’t cram them until late at night. Take it and repeat it once at night - twice, or better yet... 10. A seasoned guy dreams of becoming an Olympic champion. Look, don’t be tricky at the start, but wait for the command: one, two, march! Once I had to wait 3 hours for a train at the station...
(if they don’t have time to take the prize, the presenter takes it and finishes) Well, friends, you didn’t take the prize when you had the opportunity to take it.

BE CAREFUL
Participants are warned not to do certain movements. The presenter shows the exercises: bending or turning the body or head, arm movements, etc., except for those previously agreed forbidden. The presenter turned his head - and everyone turned, he raised his hands - and everyone raised them. But after several movements, the leader must make a forbidden movement, for example, a squat. And someone, getting carried away, repeats it and drops out of the game. The winner is the one who remains the last player. The game disciplines, develops attention and memory.

Damaged fax
Participants sit in a row one after another. The last participant draws a picture on the back of the person sitting in front of him. The player who receives the message must repeat it as accurately as possible on the back of the person sitting in front. The first player in the row, having received the message, draws it on paper. After this, the drawings of the first and last players are compared and it is determined which participants in the game the fax failed on. Before the next round, all players must change places.
Geometric shapes, letters and small words, various symbols (dollar sign, euro, ampersand, copyright) can be used as drawings.
It is advisable to start the game with simple geometric pictures. To make the game more dynamic, you can prepare drawings for transmission in advance, secretly from the participants in the game.
You can play a team version of the game - all participants are divided into teams of 5-8 people and simultaneously submit a drawing. The winning team is the one whose resulting drawing is closest to the original one.

CONFUSED PROVERBS
This humorous game is popular in any company - both children and adults.
On small pieces of paper you need to write or print Russian folk proverbs or sayings, and then cut each proverb in half. Divide the cards into two parts - the beginning and end of the proverbs - and mix them.
The further course of the game can be varied.
For example, give participants only the beginnings of proverbs, and let them come up with the ending themselves.
Or give out the end - let them think and write what the beginning of the proverb might be.
Or, having handed out the beginning, offer to find the ends among the cards offered.
The game only seems simple, because there are so many proverbs and sayings, but we use very few popular and well-known ones in everyday life. Particular fun comes from comparing the original source with the amateur creativity of the players.

Herringbone
Divide into two teams. In each team, one player becomes a “herringbone”. Standing on chairs, the “Christmas trees” beautifully spread out their branches-arms. The task of each team is to decorate the “Christmas tree” in a certain time. For decoration, improvised means are used. It is agreed in advance what will be evaluated: the most beautiful “Christmas tree” or which “Christmas tree” has the most decorations.

GO TO THE STORE - PLANT CHRISTMAS TREES.. .
The participant is seated with his back to everyone, and a sign with pre-prepared inscriptions is attached to his back. The inscriptions can be very different - "TOILET, STORE, INSTITUTE, etc." The rest of the observers ask him various questions, such as “why do you go there, how often, etc.” The player must, regardless of what is written on the sign hanging on him, answer these questions.

"Picture of Pieces"
Depending on the situation and age of the children, you can start the game right away or after telling them the legend.
“A long time ago, in the same kingdom, there lived friendly people who got along well with each other. Together they created wonderful things: paintings, stories, household utensils. Everything worked out for them, because they understood each other from a word and a glance and cared for each other.” about each other. But one day an evil wizard was jealous of their harmony and, when people were painting a picture, cast a spell, causing their creation to shatter into pieces and, along with these pieces, people scattered around the world. Those who once lived in perfect harmony now do not recognize each other and live separately. But if you put the picture together again, then maybe a miracle will happen, and everyone who contributed their piece to it will be able to find care and understanding from the other creators of the picture - they will become one friendly team."
Invite the children to check if this is really true? Have each of them come up to you and take one piece of the card, white side up (prepare two cards in advance and cut them so that the total number of pieces is equal to the number of invitees, including your own children). When each guest has a piece of the postcard in their hands, announce the conditions of the game: now you will say a magic phrase (for example: “Look for yours!”) and the children will begin to move around the room, showing each other the pieces. If they realize that they have parts of one postcard, then they unite and together look for the remaining parts.
Note. Thus, by the end of the game you will naturally form two teams, each of which collected the entire picture and showed the results to the rest of those present. Take advantage of the spirit of unity that arose during this task and announce to the teams that the tests of the strength of the spell will continue in the following relay races, where they will be one team.

“Changes” is an intellectual and entertaining game that can be organized during holiday celebrations, as well as in any free time with any audience. The content of the game consists of a variety of inversions - proverbs, books, TV shows, lines from poems, songs and others. Participants need to select an antonym (a word with an opposite meaning) for each word of the resulting phrase, that is, decipher the inversions. Two or more teams play. To play you need an ordinary cube with divisions from one to six. Each number combines certain “reversals”:

1. TV reversals (names of TV programs); 2. Inversions of lines from songs; 3. Inversions of lines from poems; 4. Inversions of proverbs and sayings; 5. Reversing book titles; 6. Various shifters.

There are 6 large cards hanging on the board indicating the number of the category of changelings and its content. Each of them contains 15-25 cards with inverted questions.

Rules of the game. The team rolls the dice and the changeling category number is determined. And the inverted question is chosen by the participants independently - any of the large cards of the established category. The teams respond in turn. For the correct “disassembly” with the changeling, participants also earn a changeling (what exactly - decide for yourself). So, the “Diploma of fighters against shifters” will go to the team that collects the most shifters during the game. A task in the form of a poetic reversal will help determine the right to make the first move. The lines of the poem are divided into two parts. The first words of each line in the correct sequence are written on the left, and the continuation is written on the right on separate strips. These stripes are mixed up. Each team receives such a set of changelings in a special envelope. The players' task is to destroy the jumble by arranging the strips correctly.

Angry boar Steamboat Nightingale Porcupine Cat Masha Pinocchio Tailor Hedgehog Siskin Cancer Table Teapot Boy

sat on a branch, languished in a cage, sharpened his fangs, gave beeps, taught physics, taught him to catch his tail, sewed his pants, ate everything, pancakes were set for dinner, had his mustache moved, flew under the clouds, chased mice, jumped in the yard, gurgled on the fire

After correct placement it should look like this:

The angry boar was sharpening its fangs, the steamboat was blowing its horn, the nightingale was sitting on a branch, the porcupine was languishing in a cage, the cat was catching its tail, Masha was teaching physics, Pinocchio was all eating pancakes, the tailor was sewing his own pants, the hedgehog was chasing mice, the siskin was flying under the clouds, the cancer had a mustache moved, the table was set for dinner, the kettle was gurgling on the fire, the boy was jumping in the yard.
