But do not forget about the guests. And it often happens that not only his peers come to the little birthday boy, but also godparents, aunts, uncles and other relatives and friends of the family, so you should think over and prepare adult contests for children's day Birthdays, so that for them this day also becomes a fun holiday.

In fact, you can take any competition, both adult and children's. The main thing is that these are not too frank or indecent contests, as well as games where alcohol is involved, because the birthday is still for children. In principle, any fun and decent contest or game that you like will do. adult company and will amuse the children watching what is happening.

Our selection consists of simple options, which do not require special training and for their implementation you need a minimum of props, which will greatly simplify their implementation. Well, now let's take a closer look at each of the contests.

You only need one of the most common clothespins. At the beginning of the fun, we announce that we have a crocodile and it will periodically attack the guests, after which, in the process of celebration, we imperceptibly cling the “crocodile” to someone’s clothes, or hide it under a napkin, or throw it in our pocket. When the job is done, we announce that the crocodile has escaped, and the task of the guests is to find it. The one who found a crocodile in his place receives a small present and is declared a new driver, that is, now he must throw a clothespin to the next guest. So in the process of celebrating, the clothespin bypasses almost all the guests and everyone receives small nice gifts.

bankers

For this competition, take a glass jar, several banknotes of different denominations, coins, as well as pieces of paper, fabric, foil, and any small items. Can be taken chocolate candies in the form of coins to confuse participants. The size of the jar and the amount of money is up to you. Next, we put the money and all the rest of the props in the bank so that it is difficult to calculate the amount in the bank. We let the finished jar go around, and each of the guests tries to count the money and writes down his amount on a piece of paper. At the end, we open the jar, count the money and determine the winner, and the one who calculated the amount as accurately as possible becomes the winner.

Draw the most valuable

Contests for adults at a child's birthday are desirable to hold a variety of, including creative ones. Let your guests show their artistic talent and draw the most valuable thing in his life or what he dreams of. Then everyone talks about their drawing, the story is commented on by the participants, and the most successful and original drawing and story.

Battle of the balls

This is a fun game that you can play to warm up a little after sitting at the table for a long time. It is carried out in a spacious room or in an open area. The essence of the game is that each guest is tied to the foot of an inflatable ball. It is necessary to tie as low as possible and it is desirable that the ball can lie on the floor. Then we turn on a cheerful melody, and the task of the participants is to burst other people's balloons. The one whose ball lasts the longest wins. You can also play in teams, then the participants

One team destroys the balls of the other team, and the winner is determined by the maximum number of whole balls in the team. Good mood after the game is guaranteed!

Dance on the chairs

This is not the kind of dance in which you have to have time to sit on a chair when you finish. xia m music, this is a simple creative competition, the task of the participants of which is to improvise to the music, trying to dance without getting up from the chair.

It is advisable to place chairs for the participants in the middle of the hall so that the audience can observe all the movements of the dancers, and then evaluate them by choosing the most active and creative dancer.

fun zoo

This game is suitable for children, but adults will be equally delighted with it. How to carry it out? At the beginning, we distribute cards with animals to the participants, but we do it in such a way that they do not see which animal is indicated on their card. Then everyone shows their card to other participants and asks leading questions. The rest of the players answer questions, but do not name the animal itself. The winner is the one who guessed his animal after the least number of questions.

The zoo can be easily replaced by a hardware store, for example. To do this, we take cards not with animals, but with household appliances. The guessing process is identical.

Guess the fairy tale

The game is played at the table. The host begins to tell a fairy tale without naming the main characters. You can read directly from the book, skipping names, titles, and the guests are trying to guess what kind of fairy tale they are talking about. If there are children at the holiday who are already familiar with fairy tales, you can also introduce them to guessing. In this case, hold a team competition - a team of children against a team of adults.

Watering hole

Several identical containers of water should be prepared in advance. Pour water or juice into each of the containers, give the participants straws. The task of the contestants is to empty their container as quickly as possible. You can complicate the task by the condition that you need to drink without the help of hands. It will be even more interesting if the container is not on the table, but on a chair.

Writers

A great opportunity to test your imagination and writing skills, and at the same time have fun.

How to spend? We prepare a list of questions in advance. It should look something like this:

• Who?
• Where did you go?
• What for?
• What did he see there?
• How did he react to this?
• Who came next?
• What happened next?
• etc.

You can take our list and add a couple more questions to it.

The process itself:

• distribute pieces of paper and pens to the participants;
• each writes at the very top of the sheet the answer to the question "Who?". It can be either real or fictional character;
• then the leaflet is folded so that what is written is not visible and the participants exchange leaves among themselves;
• then we write the answer to the question “Where did you go?” and continue in the same way until the questions run out;
• finished literary works are handed over to the host and read aloud. Believe me, the stories will be very funny and with unexpected plot twists!

Sign up for a prize

We are preparing one or more sheets, at the very top of which we write: “who will tell a fairy tale or verse”, “who will sing a song” or something like that. You can also consider options such as “who will wash the dishes”, “who will help clear the table”, and so on. We close the inscription with a sheet with the word “Prize” and send this sheet around the table so that those who wish to sign up for the prize. What a surprise it will be when those who signed up will see what they actually signed up for! But even without a prize, of course, do not leave them after they complete the task)

Like a birthday boy

A competition that requires participants to show their acting skills.

For this entertainment, we prepare in advance pieces of paper with inscriptions like “I can eat like a birthday boy”, “I can walk like a birthday boy”, “I can draw like a birthday boy”, “I can dance like a birthday boy”. This competition will be especially interesting at the birthday of a 1-3 year old baby.

Participants take turns taking out pieces of paper and showing their acting skills. The most talented actor will be awarded with a prize.

Almost football

For this game you will need a spacious room, which is conditionally divided into two halves. The guests are divided into two equal teams. In the role of a soccer ball - a balloon, and the task of the "footballers" is to throw the ball to the side of the opposing team. Allotted for the game certain time, during which it is desirable to include rhythmic music.

open the chest

Something like a mini-quest for guests. As a chest, you can use any box or even a box. Stages of the mini-quest - any interesting riddles or questions about the birthday man himself. As an option, divide the participants into teams and let each of them compete for the “treasure”. It can also be held in the form of an individual competition - whoever gives the most correct answers gets the key to the treasure chest. Well, the chest itself is filled with pleasant little things - sweets, chocolate bars, small toys. Even if adult guests turn out to be not sweet-toothed, then each of them probably has kids at home who will be happy with such a treasure won by a parent.

Who will melt the ice?

Refreshing entertainment. For him, it is worth preparing a few ice cubes in advance. To make it more interesting for the participants, we freeze any small figures in cubes, which will be prizes. You can freeze, for example, small sweets, only after wrapping them in several layers of packaging film so that they do not dissolve in water before they freeze)

The task of the participants, as you probably guessed, is to melt the ice. But how to do it is up to you. You can dissolve them in your mouth, you can blow on them (in this case, they will melt more slowly, but it will be safer for the participants' throats). The winner is the one whose ice floe melted before the others.

Associations

A game that can be played right at the table in a relaxed atmosphere.

To get started, select the topic on which you will select associations. Let's take the theme "Summer" as an example. Each of the participants writes on a piece of paper 10 words that he associates with summer. For example: beach, sea, heat, watermelon, strawberries, etc. When everyone copes with the task, we begin to read the lists in turn. If someone finds the same items, they must be crossed out from all lists. The winner is the one whose list contains the most uncrossed words. The winner rightfully receives the title of the person with the most unconventional thinking)

More ideas can be gleaned from the video:

In conclusion, I would like to note that this is only a small part of the entertainment that can be held at a birthday party for a small birthday for adult guests. Any competition can be somewhat modified, adjusted to the situation and the interests of the participants.

Happy child 03.06.2017

Dear readers, now more than ever we support the traditions of celebrating children's holidays, especially birthdays. However, when we undertake the organization of such an event, many questions often arise. The blog already has an article on how, today we will talk about what games and birthday contests can be prepared for children. And the teacher, the head of the Owl family center, Irina Kuzenkova, will help us in this. I give the floor to Irina.

In order for the holiday to be fun and interesting, and the children not to get bored and not overtired, you should pay attention to the most important factor in preparing the holiday program - the age of the birthday boy and other children.

Of course, it's great when the age of all the children present is about the same. But most often, especially among preschoolers, invited guests are not only peers, but also brothers and sisters, other relatives, children of family friends, etc., and all of them are the most different ages. This is not surprising, because the child himself still has very few friends, and relatives and friends of the parents know the baby, as they say, from the cradle and will certainly come to congratulate him on such an important event.

Do not be discouraged if a company of different ages gathers at a child's holiday. Organizing such a birthday may require a little more effort from the parents, but in the end, the children will definitely find ways to effectively interact with each other and also have a wonderful experience of joint activities.

Birthday games and contests for children from 1 to 2 years old

Your baby is still small for active festive events, he will be happy with the familiar environment and short fun. Invite 2-3 children and arrange a cozy good holiday for them. At the very beginning, be sure to give the children free time, let them get acquainted with the environment, toys and other participants in the event.

Short, with a change of activity, birthday games for children at home are what you need for a little birthday boy or birthday girl. And let this celebration not last longer than a couple of hours, otherwise the guests will have to leave under the friendly cry of tired children.

"Treasure hunters"

For this game, you will need a few nice little things (small toys or children's goodies) and a lot of different packaging: multi-colored rustling paper, foil, boxes, jars, etc. It's great if everything packaging materials will be bright, multi-colored, of different textures and densities.

Then we just hide our little "treasures" in a variety of packages and invite children to find them. The unfolding and opening process will surely captivate your little guests, and the find inside can become a real treasure for a child!

In fact, any birthday games for children at this age are suitable, because such an activity aimed at exploring the world and oneself brings a lot of joy to the baby.

"Sport track"

To relieve stress and throw out emotions, kids will certainly need active classes. Offer them sports track. Try to make it interesting, arrange various obstacles and sensory elements in a circle - these can be massage mats, "tickle" brushes, soft fluffy materials, wooden stumps, small pillows, a bowl of nuts where you can stomp well, children's tunnels, small homemade bridges, in a word, everything you can think of and get.

It is very good if the children walk along the path barefoot - this will allow them to fully experience all the delights of such an activity. And in addition, you can include fun children's music. And, of course, here you will need the help of parents to guide the baby through all the obstacles.

Note! Do not force the baby to do something that he does not want or is afraid of (for example, climb into a tunnel) - this can provoke fear in the future. Perhaps, after seeing how others do it, the child will also decide on this.

"Mushroom pickers"

For this game, prepare in advance several sets (according to the number of children) of objects that are different in color, shape or other features. Scatter all of them randomly on the floor. Each child must collect in his basket only those items that correspond to his task.

For example, multi-colored balls can be scattered this way, and each child must collect balls of only his own color. Or you can collect different toy vegetables-mushrooms-fruits, then someone collects mushrooms, someone carrots, someone berries, etc.

It is very good if on each basket an image of what needs to be collected is drawn or pasted on. You can repeat several times.

"Fun Fishing"

Children love water! Prepare a container of water (an ordinary basin, a large cup or a plastic container will do), pour warm water, throw any small wooden or plastic toys into it and provide each “fisherman” with a strainer or spoon, as well as a container for folding your “catch”.

Keep in mind that even the most tidy little ones will shed some water, so think ahead about where and what they will play on. You can play the game when the kids are already tired of other activities or have begun to act up. Water will help them calm down and rest.

"Zoo"

Everything is very simple - wake up the child in yourself and together with the children depict and voice various animals. Show how a bear walks, show how a cow mooes, jump like a bunny and crawl like a turtle. Here you have both exercises and training, and most importantly - fun for both children and adults is guaranteed!

If you are preparing games for the birthday of children aged 1-2 years, do not forget to make sure that vigorous activity alternates with calm, make sure that the children do not overwork or get overexcited. Do not force children to finish the task or be diligent - at this age they are not yet able to concentrate their attention on one activity for a long time.

Fun birthday games for kids from 3 to 6 years old

At this age, the opportunities for an interesting and fun pastime are already much wider. The child is already quite well in control of his body, is aware of himself and the world around him, has a certain outlook and skills, and will be happy to join in a wide variety of activities.

Again, do not forget that the child's psyche is still very quickly overloaded, and after a couple of hours of festive fun, someone may start to act up, and someone will go rogue. Try to design the program in such a way that the children have periods of activity and rest, and do not drag out the holiday for a long time.

Mind games

Mind games and birthday contests are the salvation of parents from the countless destruction and mess that preschoolers can create. And although you won't be able to keep the kids busy for too long, you can still carve out some time, and at the same time learn something new about your child.

• Riddles - they can be picked up for any age;
• “Guess what I see” - you describe an object, and the children must guess and find it in the room;
• children's "Crocodile" - one person (child or adult) depicts someone or something, and the rest guess;
• "What's gone?" - you lay out several different objects on a chair (sofa, floor), give the children time to remember what they see, then the children turn away, and you remove a few objects. The task is to guess what has disappeared;
• fairy tale quiz - pick up questions on fairy tales, poems and cartoons known to children, reward correct answers with a home-made medal, toy or something tasty.

Board games

Well, what about without the good old board games, for which the whole family used to gather. And although today they have been supplanted by cartoons and tablets, we will find a place for them at a children's holiday.

• “Walkers-walkers” are the ones with chips where you have to roll a die and move to the finish line. They can be played by the whole company at once, they are loved by children of different ages, and modern manufacturers complement them interesting tasks and unusual look chips;
• cards - today there are many colorful and exciting board games for children of all ages. Try to play Dobble, Shuffle, various Memory or Doubles with your children, as well as many other games that you can find information about on the Internet;
• children's lotto and dominoes - you can also choose with a wide variety of pictures and themes to please your child and his guests;
• "Guess what you eat" is a wonderful and tasty game for all ages. Children are invited to close their eyes and taste the pieces of something edible prepared in advance. It is clear that here you need to guess what you are eating, but it is surprising how difficult it can be to do this without the help of visual perception.

Outdoor games

• "Cold-hot" is a kind of hide and seek that we all know and love. Only toys will hide here, and the children will try to find them with the help of hints "hot" - "cold";
• "Magic Tunnel" - for this game you will need a children's tunnel, however, it can be replaced, for example, with a chair or a table under which you can crawl. The task is to climb into the tunnel by yourself, and get out by someone else, while portraying him. It can be an animal, a human profession, fairy tale character etc. Other participants must guess who crawled out of the tunnel. The guesser climbs into the tunnel next;
• ball games. Do not forget the good old fun - they combined moving elements, and tasks for quick wit and erudition, and humor. For example, the well-known game "edible-inedible", when all the children sit in a row, and the leader in turn says different words and throws a ball to each child. You need to catch the ball only when the leader named something edible, otherwise it needs to be pushed back. Or you can stand in a circle and just throw the ball to any of the participants, naming, for example, flowers or vegetables, fruits, or colors, etc. In this case, the child needs to complete two diverse tasks: catch the ball and name the desired item;
• role-playing games - perhaps the most beloved at this age. Do you want your children's company to have fun from the heart? Then invite them to turn into Indians for a while, boldly overcoming obstacles, dancing funny dances and leading wars with the invaders. Or beautiful princesses, brave knights and fire-breathing dragons. Or in the characters of their favorite cartoons and fairy tales - in general, whatever your heart desires. Yes, you will have to work hard here - turn on your imagination, prepare attributes and costumes in advance, and most importantly - release your inner child and have fun with the children!

theatrical performance

Little viewers will be very grateful to you if you try and prepare a small theatrical performance for them. It can be a theater of hand puppets, or ordinary children's toys, or maybe you can even make your own shadow theater? Fortunately, now on the Internet you can find a lot of instructions and stencils for this. There is no doubt that children will not remain indifferent to this magic and, moreover, will be able to calm down after active games.

To help you, we suggest using others, which we have already written about on the blog pages.

Birthday games for children from 7 years old

Also suitable for children at 9, and at 10, and at 12, and even at 20 years old.

Board games

At this age, you can already offer quite a lot of different games at the birthday table. These are Activity, Alias, Munchkin, Uno, Jenga and many others. By the way, the game itself can be a great birthday present and will captivate not only children, but also adults.

Thematically quest

If you want to be active and guaranteed to captivate children with an interesting game, then you should definitely organize an exciting quest full of puzzles and surprises for children. Not a single child will refuse this, especially if you think over the thematic surroundings and unexpected plot twists.

The scenario and various tasks for the quest can be independently selected on the Internet or you can invite organizers for this case, who already have considerable experience in such activities and will definitely not let the participants get bored. Children will be happy to test their abilities and strengths in solving logical puzzles, solving puzzles, dexterity, speed and ingenuity. After all, the quest combines the activity of the mind, and physical activity, and overcoming difficulties.

"Crocodile"

Next on the list, but not least - everyone's favorite "Crocodile". It is good because it does not require any preparation, time or money. The rules are extremely simple: one shows - others guess, while using sounds or objects is prohibited. The guesser takes the place of the pointer.

"Winkers"

This is a game of attentiveness, but at the same time active and fun. All children are divided into two equal teams and one leader. The first team sits on chairs lined up opposite the leader, who also has a chair in front of him. The second team stands behind each player of the first team. The host looks around at all the players of the first team and blinks at one of them. At this point, the player who has been blinked should quickly run across to the leader's chair. The task of the player standing behind him is to grab him at this moment. The one who was able to transfer to the chair of the leader becomes the leader himself.

"I-I, point to me!"

This is a kind of hide and seek, only more interesting and therefore very popular with children. A leader is chosen, who becomes his back to everyone else. One of the players touches the back of the driver, when he turns around, all the children shout: “I-I, point to me!” The driver chooses one who, in his opinion, touched him. Then everyone asks: “Where can he run?” The driver indicates the place. If he guessed who touched, then this person runs to the indicated place, and all the others hide during this time. If you didn’t guess, the driver himself runs. Then the familiar hide-and-seek begins.

These are the birthday games for kids we have selected for you today. We wish you good mood and happy holidays!

Who is hiding there?

A famous character is drawn on a piece of paper. The host gradually opens the picture. Whoever guesses who is depicted there first is the winner.

In the center you need to put a box with a prize. Give the children balls (untied), each different colour. On command, the guys release the balls, they break out and make various figures in the air. Whose ball flew closer to the box with a gift - he won.

catch-up

In nature, you can organize the game "Earth and Sky". Catching is allowed at the command of those who have their feet on the ground. Participants who jump on a chair or catch can not be, they are considered birds in the sky.

Looking for treasure

Notes with wishes

At the end of the holiday, you can go outside with balloons filled with helium. Let the guys write their desires on them with a marker and release them into the sky.

It is important to award all winners with prizes and gifts prepared in advance. So funny and interesting entertainment During the holiday, no one will be allowed to get bored.

The guests are gathering. While not everyone is there, offer entertainment to those who come, in which everyone who will gradually come up can participate.

But all the guests have arrived. The crucial moment comes: the hosts announce the holiday program to the guests. Naturally, it is thought out and prepared in advance, taking into account the wishes of the guests.

What can be included in this program? Movable and board games, quizzes, lotteries, a concert (skits, reading, dancing), amateur films (fiction, puppet, drawing), slides, a feast (sweet table, lunch, tea) ...

In addition, the program should be announced in an intricate way, so that guests immediately feel the joy of the unusualness of what awaits them.

How to celebrate children's birthdays? Only taking into account their age characteristics. Toddlers get tired quickly, cannot sit for a long time and fix their attention on one thing. Holiday games are the simplest, quite mobile. In the pre-holiday chores, their participation is minimal - purely symbolic ... Preschoolers have more stable attention. They can be offered games for dexterity and ingenuity, simple contests and quizzes: in winter - in a room, in summer - on outdoors. Schoolchildren of elementary grades are more actively involved in pre-holiday chores. They are quite diligent. They love board games. They are happy to participate in a home concert.

Another difficulty is that children different tempers: some are shy, others are lively. Some people even like to “bury themselves” in a book while visiting, others would immediately start a fuss ... Therefore, think over everything in advance, preliminarily distribute the roles, to whom it is desirable to entrust what. For example, make the ringleader the manager, enter the shy one into the jury, one way or another help to participate in the holiday. But directorial and pedagogical tact is needed. There may be a very shy child among those present. In this case, it is better not to burden him with excessive attention, but to include in common game. All in your hands. But lead the children not intrusively. The more children feel independent, the better. Don't scold them, don't raise your voice at them.

Calculate in advance how much time you will allocate for games, dances, feasts ... After outdoor games, dances, provide for more relaxed activities.

For children of different ages, "parallel" entertainment is desirable. It is necessary that everyone does not get bored: both older and younger. And although on a birthday everything “revolves” around one person, let each guest show the best that he is capable of at your holiday: ingenuity, dexterity, and his creative abilities.

Here are some more tips:

- Sometimes children do not know how to give a gift, or are embarrassed to ask where the toilet is - try to help them in a way that other children do not notice.

- If the guys are afraid to participate in the competition, then make them assistant judges, it is quite possible that they will want to join the participants later.

- If someone is afraid of bursting the balloon - for example, he feels sorry for him, give this balloon to his home, if it's scary - give a fork or a canape stick, just don't let these sharp objects out of sight.

- Children want to receive only the same prizes (this happens quite often). It is useless to explain to them that these candies only have different wrappers, and the candies themselves are the same.

- If your parents came to your apartment - do not think that they are your guests, harness them to the fullest: it will be much easier for you if there is an adult assistant in each team, especially if you have time to tell the rules of the competitions.

Does your child have no friends yet? Birthday is a great occasion to get them.

- Do not hope that everything will work out right away, you will have to improvise, swap different competitions, perhaps some will have to be abandoned, and some will be held as an encore.

Make a list of all the little things you need and check for them. Often, what should have been at hand is "lost" at the right moment - a camera, cake candles, cocktail tubes, napkins, adhesive tape, pencils, scissors, garbage bags.

- You have to be a judge during the competitions - judge honestly, but try to create conditions so that all children can win somewhere.

Games and competitions for the holiday

Children love to play. They do it all the time. Games on holidays differ from the usual ones in that, as a rule, adults take part in them. It is necessary to organize these activities with the child in such a way that they are conducted on an equal footing, so that the gain does not depend on the advantages of age, but on a certain “luck”.

Do not forget to alternate calm games and active ones. After noisy relay races and cheerful dances, be sure to change the situation: guess riddles or offer to sing familiar songs. When in the family children's holiday, their friends come to the children. But one thing is children of the same age, another thing is children of different ages. In the first case, the games should be mainly for quick wit, dexterity, strength - in accordance with the age of the children, so that teenagers are not offered games for toddlers, and kids - for teenagers.

Do not forget about the place of the game in the holiday. While the guests are gathering (so that those who come do not get bored), you should choose one so that the children can immediately join it (for example, riddles). If the game is played before a feast, it can be more mobile, after a feast - more calm.

But any entertainment chosen should not limit the number of players or should be appropriate for the number of children present.

Place at the table

Do not seat children in compulsory order- they got tired of it at school or kindergarten. Better buy funny postcards - one for each guest. Figuredly cut them into two parts. Leave one part on the nightstand in the hallway, and put the second near each plate or on a chair. At the entrance, the child chooses one part, and then finds a second one for it - thus determining his place at the table.

Caravan, caravan

The players stand in a circle around the birthday man, hold hands and dance, singing: “How on ... (name of the birthday man) we baked a loaf of birthdays like this (stretch the circle, spreading arms to the side) width, like this (converge to the center, bringing his hands together) suppers, such (stretch their hands up) heights, such (squat) lows. Loaf, loaf, choose whom you want. The birthday boy chooses with the words: “I love, of course, everyone, but ... (the name of the person he chooses) most of all!” Now the selected player becomes the leader, and the round dance is repeated.

Fanta

One of my favorite games. Unfortunately, often parents turn this fun game into a violent demonstration of children's talents. In no case should you demand that the “phantom” sing a song, play the violin, etc. For a shy child public speaking- this is a painful test, and a really talented number can arouse the envy of other children, and the evening will be ruined. Better have fun from the heart, crowing under chairs and jumping on one leg with a saucepan on your head. And then you can all together compose and perform a song in honor of the birthday man or play a small skit in which all the guests, both small and adults, will take part.

Fanta is wonderful opportunity have fun, have fun and make fun of each other. Usually one leader is chosen, who turns his back to all the others. Behind him, the second host takes a phantom (an item that belongs to one of the guests) and asks the question: “What should this phantom do?” And whoever wants to get his phantom back must fulfill the will of the host.

But first you need to collect forfeits, and these games are perfect for this.

Outdoor games

Detective

Pair team parent + child. Representatives of the team pull out tasks from the bag, which describe how to find exactly their gift.

Wild Beast Tamer

Place chairs in the room, one less than the guests. Everyone takes chairs, and one of the players becomes a tamer of wild animals. He slowly walks in a circle and names all the animals in a row. The one whose animal is named (the players first choose them for themselves) gets up and begins to slowly walk after his tamer. As soon as the tamer utters the words: “Attention, hunters!”, All the players, including the tamer, try to take empty chairs. The one who did not have enough space becomes a tamer of wild animals.

apple tree

The players form a circle. The “apple tree” girl comes out in the middle, her name is called in the song, and she depicts with movements everything that is sung about. Holding hands, the round dance moves first in one direction, then in the other, and everyone sings:

We will plant an apple tree

On the mountain, on the mountain

Our apple tree will bloom

In the spring, in the spring!

Grow up apple tree

Here is such a height;

Blossom, apple tree,

Here's the width.

Grow, grow, apple tree.

good time,

Dance, Masha,

Jump for us.

Oh how our apple tree

Let it unravel.

Oh how our Mashenka

Yes, it swirled.

And we are our apple tree

We'll all shake

And we are sweet apples

We will collect.

And we are our apple tree

Let's pinch everything

Yes, from our Mashenka

Let's run away with a whirlwind!

At the words “such a height” and “such a width”, all the players raise and then spread their arms. At the words “we will shake,” everyone smoothly approaches the “apple tree” and depicts with movements how they shake it and collect fallen apples. With the words “we will pinch,” they approach and lightly pinch the girl and immediately scatter. The “apple tree” girl runs to catch: whoever she catches, he takes her place.

Guess who am I!

The game is more fun when many guests take part in it. The leader is blindfolded, the rest join hands and stand around the “blind”. The host claps his hands, and the guests begin to move in a circle. The host claps again - and the circle freezes. Now the host must point to a player and try to guess who it is. If he manages to do it on the first try, then the one who was guessed leads. If the host did not guess who is in front of him on the first try, he has the right to touch this player and try to guess a second time. In the case of a correct guess, the guest who was identified leads.

As a variant of this game, you can introduce a rule according to which the host can ask the player to reproduce something, portray an animal - bark or meow, etc.

Ocean is shaking...

The driver is selected, says: “The sea is worried - one, the sea is worried - two, the sea is worried - three, freeze the sea figure!” Players freeze in some interesting pose. The driver is trying to stir up, make the players laugh. The one who moves and “dies” first either drops out or becomes the leader, depending on how many players are playing.

musical chairs

Chairs need one less than the players. Chairs are placed in a circle, playing to the music walk around the chairs. The music ends - you need to have time to take a chair. The one who didn't make it is out. Another chair is removed and the game is repeated until the last player.

Steps

The players stand in a circle, the driver - in the center, the music turns on, and the driver begins to dance, and the players must repeat all his movements. At the same time, the driver tries to unexpectedly and imperceptibly step on someone's foot, and the players must dodge in every possible way. Whoever stepped on becomes the driver, and the game starts again.

Who will wrap better?

Divide the participants into teams of 5-6 people, provide each team with the same set of materials: scissors, glue, tape, wrapping paper (or multi-colored newspapers and magazines), decorative tape. Select the members of the jury.

Host: "In holidays we often have to wrap gifts. Now we'll see which team can wrap the gift in the most interesting way. The gift you will have to wrap will be one of your team members. The choice is yours. You have 10 minutes for this contest. Time has gone."

At the end of the time, the jury evaluates the accuracy, originality and creativity of the teams, and funny souvenirs are awarded.

Owl

You need to play in the air, in an area with many shelters - a garden, a forest, etc. They start playing when it gets dark outside. The number of players is three or more. A flashlight is required to play.

The leader is chosen - this is the “owl”, and the rest of the players are the “mouse”. The owl takes a flashlight with it and hides with it or separately from it on the playing field. The mice wait for some time while she hides in another place - this is their mink, where they are safe. The task of the mice is to reach the flashlight and illuminate the owl with it. Then she goes blind and cannot catch them. The task of the owl is to catch the mouse, then it will become the next owl. The owl can deceive, move around the playing area, hide both near the lantern and in another place.

Water Carrier Relay

Two teams of 5 people each can participate in the competition. Each team should have a small children's bucket, and if not, then a tin can with a wire handle. The volume of buckets must be the same, otherwise it will not be possible to determine the winner. You can carry out the attraction on the site, the length of which is 15-20 m.

The teams line up at the start. At the finish line against each team - a flag. Those who stand first receive a bucket filled with water. At the signal of the judge chosen by the guys, the first numbers run to the flags, go around them and return to the start line. The goal of the game is to run to the flag and back as quickly as possible, pass the bucket to a teammate and not spill the water. The team that takes the least time and saves the most water wins.

Zhmurki

Children often and willingly play hide-and-seek, especially young ones, since this game is very simple. A place for her choose a large, spacious room or clean yard. Children choose a player, blindfold him with a bandage or a clean handkerchief. At this signal, the participants in the game rush into different sides, and a boy with a bandage over his eyes, standing in the middle of the yard or room, is trying to catch one of the fleeing.

The one who gets caught changes roles with him, that is, they blindfold him and he, in turn, also tries to catch one of his comrades.

Children should, while running, make sure that the blindfolded driver does not stumble upon any object. At the sight of danger, they warn with a cry: "Fire!"

Freestyle bast shoes

Children gather in a spacious yard or in big room. Gotta have a black ball small size and a lapta - a wooden bat. On the opposite ends the place chosen for the game draws two lines, calling one of them the playing line and the other the horse line; the space between these two lines is called the field.

There can be many players in the game. By lot, children choose a thrower and a server, who stand on the playing line. All other participants in the game become different places fields. As soon as everyone is settled in their places, at this signal the feeder directs the ball to the thrower, and the latter throws it up with a blow with his hand or bast shoes in the direction of the field. After that, the thrower, having freed himself from the ball, rushes towards the horse line, reaches it and from there runs back to the playing line. While the thrower rushes across the field, the children who are in different places of the field, having captured the ball, tend to stain the thrower with it.

In the event that one of the participants managed to do this, he changes roles with the server, and the latter with the thrower; the thrower stands with the rest of the participants in the game somewhere in the field.

For the correct conduct of this game, it is necessary to observe following conditions: participants have the right to spot the thrower only in the field, and then only from the place where the ball was raised. If the batted ball falls outside the place chosen for play, it is again handed to the server for a second throw.

Croquet

It is most convenient to play this game on a completely flat place: on a flat area or meadow with a flat surface and low-cut grass.

The success of the game largely depends on how level and smooth the place chosen for it is. In the first case, the game is played according to all the rules, the blows can be easily and correctly calculated in advance.

The number of participants can be two to eight. The participants in the game are divided into two groups, and each of them stocks up with a hammer and a ball that have the same mark. The first group is supplied with some other icon, unlike the other. Hammers can be of any shape, the most common are cylindrical, with one straight end and the other rounded.

At the place chosen for the game, arcs and pegs are stuck into the ground in such a way that the distance between the individual arcs varies depending on the dexterity of the players and on the size of the flat place. Often, the length of the hammer handle is used to determine the distance between individual arcs.

At this signal, a player from the first set starts the game, then someone from the second, then again someone in turn from the first, etc. Everyone must follow their turn and not skip it, otherwise they will lose it until the next one.

The game is based on the fact that each member of one of the parties tries to quickly get his balls through all the arcs, following a certain order, in addition, each seeks to help his entire party in this. Finally, one party tries to prevent the other from doing it quickly and successfully.

The game begins as follows: the first player in turn places his ball at a median distance between the first arc and the peg and hits the ball with a hammer, while directing it so that it passes through the arc. If the ball does not pass through the first arc, but stops in such uncomfortable place, which prevents the free passage of the balls following it, it is removed and returned to its original place only after the rest of the balls have passed under the arc.

We have already mentioned above that the ball is driven by a hammer blow, and its side edge is not allowed to be used, but only one of the ends. According to the rules of the game, a sharp, clear sound should be heard from hitting the ball with a hammer.

When the ball stops under the arc, to find out whether it has reached the goal, i.e., made its way through the arc or not, use the hammer handle, bringing it close to the back side of the arc. If the handle of the hammer touches the back side of the arc closely without moving the ball from its place, it is said that it has successfully passed under the arc, and the one who hit it gets the right to continue the game.

Continuing the game, the ball is passed in the same exact way through the second, third, fourth arcs, etc. until the first miss. As soon as a miss is made, the player marks his badge on the next arc and leaves, after which the next player in turn begins to pass his ball.

Whoever successfully passes his ball through the first arc gains the right to strike the ball not only through the next arc, but also the opponent's ball - which is called the right to castle. He, however, is charged with the duty to first name the ball to be castled, and only then hit it. If two balls touch each other, you cannot castle.

If someone hits someone else's ball with his ball, then he brings his ball closer to the last one, then steps on his ball with the toe of his boot and beats off the stranger's ball with a deft blow of a hammer on his ball. If the ball he hit belongs to his party, then he also tries to lead it through the next arc, but if the ball belongs to someone else's party, then he beats it somewhere far away.

It is necessary to pass the ball through the arcs in a certain order: so, having reached the second peg, you should hit it with a ball, otherwise it is forbidden to drive your ball back through the arc again. After the ball has made its way successfully through all the arcs and returned again to the first peg, hit the ball into it and stop the game.

The party that manages to successfully pass all its balls through all the arcs and then hit the first peg wins.

According to the model just described, indoor croquet can be arranged, replacing relatively large balls with smaller ones or just balls. Lead weights are attached to the ends of the arcs for stability. The game in the room is played in the same order as in the open air.

Steps

I option.

A circle with a diameter of 1.5-2 m is drawn, all participants are placed in it. The driver throws the ball as high as possible and runs further from the circle. The one of the players who managed to catch the ball shouts: “Stop” - and assigns the number of steps to the driver (the steps can be very diverse and in different numbers, for example, 2 “giants” or 5 “midgets”), if the player, after completing the assigned steps manages to touch the driver, he himself becomes the driver.

Steps: "giant" - big steps in a jump, "Lilliputians" - a half-foot step, "thread" - from toe to toe, "ducklings" - squatting, "umbrellas" - jump with a coup, "bunny" - jump legs together.

II option.

The circle is divided into sectors - countries. While the driver pronounces a game phrase (you can come up with it yourself, like: “How many countries there are in the world, it’s impossible to count them ...”), the players scatter. The command sounds: “Stop!”, The players freeze, then the driver selects the victim (usually the one closest to him) and assigns steps. If he guessed right, then he cuts off a piece from the country of the loser to himself, no, he himself gives part of his territory. You can cut only by standing with your foot or feet on your territory, and then how you can reach (the circle should be large enough).

Potato

The ball should be light, preferably a small inflatable one. Players, standing in a circle, throw the ball to each other (catch or beat, as in the game "volleyball"). The one who misses or drops the ball becomes a "potato": he squats in a circle and can be hit with a ball. If the ball after hitting the “potato” falls to the ground, then it is not considered missed and the game is resumed, if the “potato” manages to catch the ball (like a “candle”), then the lost ball becomes the “potato”, and the rest of the players leave the circle. The last of the two remaining players to drop the ball to the ground becomes the first "victim" of the new hand.

sedentary games

Draw a figure

Participants are divided into pairs. All couples take turns. In each pair, the partner draws some figure on the back of his colleague with his finger so that no one can see. After that, a person with a drawn figure tries to depict it, walking around the room, in dance, in motion. Everyone guesses. Those whose pieces are recognized by the majority of players win. Leader judges.

Monkey

Children are divided into two teams. The players of the first team confer and think of a word to one of the players of the second team. His task is to show this word to the members of his team only with gestures, without using any sounds and words. When the word is guessed, the teams change places. Depending on the age of the participants, the complexity of the hidden words may vary. Starting with simple words and concepts, such as "car", "house", and ending with complex concepts, the names of films, cartoons, books.

treasure hunt

The culmination of the holiday can be a treasure hunt. Hide the “treasure” in advance: small souvenirs, birthday cake, balloons, sparklers. The game is built on the principle of a “quest”: using an encrypted clue (it can be a rebus, a crossword puzzle, a logical puzzle that is quite difficult, but accessible to children), you need to guess where the next clue lies, and so on until the treasure itself is found. It is important that the puzzles are fun, but intriguing. Make sure all children play.

hitting the target

Buy 25 different types of candies. Place the bucket on a raised platform or hang it from the ceiling. Divide the participants into teams of 4-5 people. Give each participant 5 candies. Each team should only have their own kind of candy. Teams must stand at the same distance from the bucket. On a signal, the participants, randomly throwing sweets, must throw as many of their candies into the bucket as possible. Candies that fall on the floor do not rise until the end of the round. Throwing a handful of sweets is prohibited. The tour lasts 30 seconds. At the end of the round, the bucket is removed and the number of sweets of each type is counted. Candies are taken by the team that threw the most of them. The winning team leaves the game, the remaining teams resume their "cartridges", and the next round begins.

magic rope

Prepare fun souvenirs in advance. Hang them on a rope with a strong thread on different height. Each participant in the game is blindfolded in turn, given scissors in their hands, carefully untwisted, after which, using the prompts of other children, the player must cut off a gift for himself. Kids can not be given scissors - let them catch souvenirs with their hands.

Hippopotamus

This game is a prank, but none of the players should know that he is being pranked.

About 15 people are needed to play. Everyone becomes in a circle. In the center of the circle is the leader. All players hold each other under the elbows.

The host starts the game following words: "Now we're going to play a game called Zoo." To each of you I will whisper the name of some animal in your ear, which you must not tell anyone. Then, when everyone gets the name of the animals, I will name them in my story. If the name of the animal that someone received suddenly falls out, then this player must immediately sit down and pull two neighboring players behind him, whom he now holds under his elbows. The task of these neighboring players is to keep him in time and not let him fall. Understandably?"

The facilitator then goes up to everyone and whispers the same thing in their ear, such as "hippos".

But each player thinks that only he has the name of this animal. When the presenter distributes names, he must pretend that he invents something new every time, scratch his head, say: “What can I come up with for you?” etc. Of the players, it is desirable to guess several elephants and several foxes.

Then, when he gives out the names of animals to everyone, he begins his story.

It goes something like this: “Yesterday I went to the zoo. I pass by one cage, and there sits ... an elephant. - At the same time, everyone is in tension, but no one sat down. - I'm moving on, in another enclosure ... a fox. I looked at her and I see a huge hippopotamus sitting right in front of her! - at this time, each player, having heard the word that was said in his ear "only to him alone", crouches sharply. It turns out that the whole circle falls.

Throwing balls

Balls are thrown from one half of the room to the other. Degas are divided into two teams and begin to throw the balls into the territory of the other team. The team wins, which, after the command: “Stop”, will have fewer balls (the room can be blocked by two or three chairs). When all the competitions are over, invite the children to pop the balloons. You don't have to feel sorry for them. They burst with such a roar that it gives the children a lot of delight.

Mummy

Toilet paper will make a great "mummy". Two or more pairs of volunteers are called. One of the players in each pair is a "mummy", and the second is a "mummy". The "mummy" should wrap the "mummy" with toilet paper bandages as quickly as possible.

Wind up soon

For the game, you need to prepare two spools and threads 3-5 m long. A mark is made in the middle of the thread - with paint or a knot. The players stand opposite each other, holding each spool in their hands so that the thread is taut. On command, they begin to quickly wind the thread on the spool, all the while approaching each other. The first person to reach the middle of the thread wins.

Push the core

This is a joke contest. Two teams compete in the shot put. True, the core here replaces the balloon, but it is not so easy to “push” it. Who will become the champion? The places where the ball fell can be marked on the floor with colored crayons, which will indicate the name of the pusher.

Who is the most accurate

Two or more teams participate. The children take turns throwing the lids off plastic bottles into a saucepan. Each is given approximately five caps. Each hit is awarded a prize.

Bilbock

Take a cord 40 cm long. Glue one end with adhesive tape to a table tennis ball (you can take a container from Kinder Surprise), and the other to the bottom of a plastic cup (you can tie it to the handle of a plastic mug). Bilbock is ready.

It is necessary to throw the ball up and catch it in a glass or mug. There is one prize for this. Catch the ball in turn until you miss. The one who misses passes the bilbock to the next player.

You are welcome

The host is in the middle of the room, makes various movements, asking the players to repeat them. The players repeat the movements only if the leader adds the word “please” to his request. For example, the facilitator says: "Please raise your hands." The one who makes a mistake and repeats the movement when the word “please” is not uttered, gives a phantom or leaves the game.

In the swamp

Two participants are given two sheets of paper. They must go through the "swamp" along the "bumps" - sheets of paper. You need to put a sheet on the floor, stand on it with both feet, and put the other sheet in front of you. Step over to another sheet, turn around, take the first sheet again and put it in front of you. And so, who will be the first to pass through the room and come back.

Quiet games

Bubble

Buy or make your own soap bubbles for each guest and blow them all together. Leave jars as a gift to guests.

Soap bubble recipes for cooking at home

1) 600 g water + 200 g liquid detergent for dishes + 100 g of glycerin.

2) 600 g hot water+ 300 g of glycerin + 50 g of powdered detergent + 20 drops of ammonia (the solution should be infused for several days, then filtered and put in the refrigerator for 12 hours before use).

3) 300g water + 300g liquid soap for washing dishes + 2 tsp. Sahara.

4) 4 tbsp. l. dissolve soap shavings in 400 g of hot water (it is better to do this on fire. Be careful!). Let stand for a week. After that, add 2 tsp. Sahara.

It is advisable to put any solution of soap bubbles in the refrigerator for several hours before use.

chocolate bar

Two teams are participating. The host prepares two identical chocolates.

On command: “Start” the extreme players of the two teams, sitting next to the leader, quickly unfold their chocolate bar, bite off a piece and pass the chocolate bar to the next participant. He, in turn, quickly eats another piece and passes the chocolate bar to the next player.

The team that quickly eats their chocolate wins, and it should be enough for all the players on the team.

Remember appearance

The game is useful for a group of people where everyone knows little. B-10 people play. A pair of players is chosen. Having previously studied each other's appearance, they stand back to back. Everyone else begins to each of them in turn ask questions about the appearance of a partner.

For example:

How many buttons does your partner have on his jacket?

What color are the laces on the neighbor's shoes?

- The color of your partner's eyes?

The pair that gives the most correct answers wins.

holiday surprise

A large, beautifully decorated box stands on a raised platform or is suspended from the ceiling. Everyone participating in the game writes down on pieces of paper what they think is in the box. Touching the box, trying it by weight, looking inside is not allowed. When everyone has written options, the answers are read out. It is very difficult to become a winner, because there are no guidelines for determining the contents of the box, but you can guess by chance. In extreme cases, you can accept an answer that is at least approximately suitable for the subject. Such an answer will be counted, and the winner will be awarded. You can put several items in the box, this will only make the game more interesting, as there will be several winners. If there are several correct answers, the contents of the box (nuts, sweets, etc.) can be divided among all the winners. Only the organizer of the attraction can know about what is put in the box, who must himself, without witnesses, choose a “surprise” and personally seal the box.

Apple

One leader is selected, and all the others become in a very close circle (shoulder to shoulder). Moreover, the hands of the players should be behind. The essence of the game: you need to quietly pass an apple behind your back and, at every opportunity, bite off a piece of it. And the task of the presenter is to guess in whose hands the apple is. If the presenter guessed correctly, then the player caught by him takes his place. The game continues until the apple is eaten.

Nonsense

Each participant has a piece of paper in front of them. The host asks questions that need to be answered: who, when, where, what did he do, what did he see, what did he say? the top edge of the sheet is wrapped up so that it is impossible to read what is written). In turn, you yourself receive a leaflet from a neighbor on the right. When the sheets go around everyone in a circle, the host collects them and reads the resulting aloud. Sometimes it turns out really nonsense, and sometimes - just scream.

treasure hunt

Pick up riddles about things in the apartment and make three chains, following which (from the hidden object to another) three teams of four people each come to the same object, for example, an aquarium. The same riddles should only be about the aquarium. All other riddles are about completely different subjects. Place the first riddles in inflatable balloons, which are chosen by representatives from each team (this should be done so that none of the children suspect the leader of bias, the desire to play along with the birthday man).

The first to arrive receive three candies, the second - two, and the last - one candy. Sweets can be replaced with any small prizes.

Guess

The goal of the game is to show the word to others with the help of gestures. The players sit down as spectators in front of the leader (explainer). He received his word from one of the players and now he must show it to others, using his ability to communicate using gestures and facial expressions. The main thing is not to make any sounds and not to use improvised objects. The one who made the word should not lead others to the right idea.

The host during the game shows either actions or objects, while the spectators who play must listen continuously and carefully and express their assumptions. The leader shows with signs how close they are to the truth. If the matter has completely reached a dead end, it is allowed to show the word in parts or by ear (i.e., show consonant, but easier words), while indicating the method of explanation with predetermined signs. The player who guessed the word now takes the place of the leader himself, and the leader must come up with a word for him.

Earth, water, air

Children sit in a row or circle. The driver walks in front of them and, pointing to each in turn, says:

"Water, earth, air." He can stop at any moment. If the driver stopped at the word "water", then the child he pointed to should name a fish, reptile or animal living in the water. If the word "earth" is named, one must name the one who lives on earth. If the word "air" is called - the one who flies.

Draw a portrait

Participants try to draw a portrait of any of the people sitting opposite. Then the leaves are started in a circle. Each on the reverse side will try to write who he recognized in this portrait. When the leaves, having passed in a circle, return to the author, he must count the number of votes of the participants who recognized the drawing. The best artist wins.

For one letter

Sitting at the table, everyone can offer a letter, starting with which all those present must take turns listing the items in this room. For example, someone suggested the letter "C". Everyone vying with each other begins to say: “chair, table”, etc. The one who named wins the last word. In pauses, the person who proposed the letter can count loudly to three. If after that a new word is not named, the winner is declared.

adjectives

At the beginning of the game, the last guest in the row thinks of a word and only says whether it is feminine or masculine. For example, "shovel". The rest of the guests come up with one adjective each. For example, the 1st guest says: "glass", the 2nd guest - "stunning", the 3rd - "mysterious", etc. And the last guest says the intended word - "shovel". The result will be: "glass, stunning, mysterious, charming, beloved shovel." The game is played at a fast pace. Then the next guest guesses the word, and the former last one becomes the first and says the first adjective, etc. in a circle, until everyone comes up with a word.

Associations

Any player quietly, in his ear, so that no one hears, calls the name of one of the players to the driver. The driver must loudly describe this person, naming the objects associated with him. Named in order: color, wood, piece of furniture, piece of clothing, flower, element cutlery, Appliances and animal. The rest of the players must guess the name of the described. If it fails, then the leader calls the name of a literary hero similar to the one being described. When the name is guessed, the guesser leads, and the guesser gives him a new name. If the driver did not cope with the task, then he is given a new name.

Who is it?

Take each piece of paper and draw a head on top - a person, an animal, a bird. Bend the sheet so that the drawing is not visible - only the tip of the neck. And pass the drawing to a neighbor. Each participant in the game had a new sheet with an image that he had not seen. Everyone draws the upper part of the torso, again “hides” the drawing and passes it on to the neighbor in order to draw the limbs on the new sheet received. Now expand all the drawings and see what creatures are depicted on them.

self-portrait

On a sheet of whatman paper, two cuts for hands are made. Participants take each of their sheets, putting their hands through the slots, draw a portrait with a brush, without looking. Whoever's "masterpiece" turned out more successfully - takes the prize.

Focus "Wolf and Sheep"

Previously, an adult must do this trick himself, then explain to the guys (children 10-11 years old).

Seven pebbles are placed on the table in front of you - five together, in the center, and two separately - one on the right, the second on the left.

Show hands - everything is clean, without deception.

These five pebbles are sheep. These two are wolves. Cover the wolves with your hands. The hands are two sheds where the wolves hid. One wolf (right) ran up and grabbed a sheep (without opening the fist in which the wolf is, take one sheep in a fist).

The second wolf also grabs the sheep - take it with the left.

The first wolf grabs again, the second too. There was one sheep left - her first tsap-scratch!

Now in right hand four, and in the left three pebbles (fists clenched).

Suddenly the shepherds came running, the wolves got scared and decided to give the sheep away.

Hands return the sheep, but it is necessary to put it from the hand where there are three pebbles - and it turns out that there are not a single pebble in the left, and two in the right (and everyone thinks that one each!).

The shepherds see that the sheep are there and go away. And the wolves got to work. (And they do the same as at the beginning - right, left ... As a result, there are five pebbles in the right hand, and only two in the left.)

The shepherds returned, and the wolves consulted: “How can we be saved? We will climb into the barn, pretend that we are sleeping, the shepherds will go into another barn and see that five sheep are standing there safe and sound ... "

And show your palms - in one there are five sheep, and in the other two wolves.

It won't work the first time, then everyone will understand.

Mysterious birthday

Children adore riddles, and they not only love to guess them, but they do it masterfully, because their imaginative thinking corresponds to the allegorical poetic description of objects and phenomena that distinguish riddles. With the help of riddles, children learn about the world around them, train their ingenuity. And riddles-jokes are created good mood and develop a sense of humor. In a word, the riddle is a remarkable phenomenon in all respects. Therefore, you can confidently build a birthday program around riddles. Of course, in this case, the whole holiday will be dedicated to the birthday man, and the leader of the holiday must explain to the little guests that every person, including the birthday boy, is also a mystery. What kind of mystery is the birthday boy? This will be dedicated to the celebration of his birthday.

Riddles are a favorite entertainment for both kids and older children. They can simply be guessed and guessed aloud at speed or arrange a competition "Who guesses more."

It's even more fun to play...

Mystery Lotto

To do this, you will need a sheet of paper, preferably an A2 paper, markers, a cube with divisions (from 1 to 6), chips according to the number of players and picture cards. Cards can be made by simply sticking a suitable picture on a square of cardboard.

Whatman is drawn into squares. They write texts of riddles. Players take it in turns to roll the die and move on to the number of squares shown on the die. The one who falls on the riddle square reads it aloud. The one who has a picture with a riddle says the riddle loudly and puts the picture on the riddle square. The move goes to him. If the answer is not found, the same participant continues the game.

The winner can be found in two ways. The first - the winner is the one who runs out of cards with drawings before the others. The second - the game continues until all the squares are closed. In this case, the one who scores the most points wins. Points (for example, from 1 to 3) depend on the level of difficulty of the riddle (how many signs of an object or event are indicated, to what extent they reveal the riddle).

Fairy tale draw

The victim of the prank is told that now everyone in the company will guess one famous fairy tale. The person being played will have to guess it by asking the company questions about the plot of the tale. The whole company answers in chorus (and not one by one). Only answers "yes", "no", "doesn't matter" are allowed. The conditions of the game seem simple to the victim, and he is removed. The company pretends to conceive a fairy tale, but in fact agrees on a prank.

In fact, no fairy tale is thought. And the collective (in chorus - necessarily) response is built according to the following principle.

If the victim’s question ends with a vowel (for example: “Was there a princess in this fairy tale?”), Then everyone says in chorus: “Yes!”

If the victim’s question ends with a consonant letter (for example: “Was there a wolf in this fairy tale?”), Everyone shouts in chorus: “No!”.

If the question ends with “b” or “Y” (for example: “Is there Baba Yaga in this fairy tale?”), Then everyone answers in unison: “It doesn’t matter!”

An important condition is to respond in unison in unison. Any other comments other than these three phrases are prohibited. The victim returns to the company, and the "guessing" of the tale begins. The person being played very quickly realizes that the fairy tale is, to put it mildly, abnormal. But confident answers in chorus make you believe in the reality of the conceived fairy tale.

After 15 minutes, the draw can be stopped. The pleasure of the game is indescribable.

A children's holiday is a noisy, fun and highly anticipated event. Adults, inventing design, contests, festive dishes, try to make it unforgettable. First of all, for the hero of the occasion.

Let's make sure that the child, as a hospitable host, can meet his guests. Let him take part in the preparations for the holiday. As much as his age allows. Your child can help you decorate the room, help in the kitchen, and come up with prizes for children's competitions. Together, discuss funny birthday contests that kids will definitely like, not adult organizers.

In preparation for the holiday, make room for games. You can put the furniture so that it can be removed. Come up with funny contests and games in such a way as to involve all children. Little guests should not be bored. During the holiday, we will not compete who is better, but we will have an interesting time.

Competitions can be divided into mobile games and ingenuity. They can be alternated so that the little guests are not very excited. At the beginning of the competition, tell about its rules, and the awarding of the winners can be entrusted to the owner of the holiday.

Clothespins

There is no limit to the number of participants in this competition. The leader, until the players see it, clings 20-30 clothespins throughout the room. For this, curtains are suitable, Stuffed Toys, paintings and other things in the room. After that, players will be able to start collecting them. The winner is the one who collected the most clothespins.

Pyramid

Invite your little guests to quickly fold a pyramid of plastic cups. This is a variant of a calm game, which can be made more difficult by closing the participants' eyes. Let them try to make the bottom floor of 5 cups, the next one of 4, and so on.

Dancing obstacles

Remember the Hawaiian game of Limbo, where the dancers lean backwards as they pass under a falling rope. This competition is similar. The host will gradually build a tower of cups, and the participants in the dance will have to jump over it.

improvised tales

Children from 3 to 6 years old can already act out classic fairy tales. Prepare finger puppets or mitt puppets and dense fabric measuring one and a half meters by one and a half meters for a screen. Distribute dolls to guests, the host will be a storyteller. It turns out fun entertainment. If the guests are older, then the classic fairy tales can be changed. You can take a piece from each fairy tale or make them modern and very funny.

Relay races for the fastest and most dexterous

A clothesline can be a great relay lane. The winding path at speed can be run by young guests like real tightrope walkers. Make obstacles, for example, from balloons, which you will need to run around or collect on the way to the finish line.

Gifts in the air

Prizes can be tied to a long rope. It is not necessary to use expensive gifts in this game. It can be cute souvenirs or postcards with poems. They will need to be cut with your eyes closed. If verses were tied to the rope, then they must be read with expression.

Comic cards

For calm, but not boring games, picture cards are suitable. Children aged 5 to 7 laugh a lot at random responses to questions asked. Ask the question: “What gift would you most like on your birthday?”. Have the child draw the picture. Suddenly you get a crocodile, a hammer, a soap bubble or stones. To the question: “What will you fly to the sea on?” the answer may be a doll, soap bubbles, a flower.

PHOTOSESSION

Let's have a fun photo shoot. Accessories can be funny wigs, mustaches with elastic bands or a stick, huge ears, funny hats. You can choose things for photography in the competition. Lay them out on a small table. Turn on some music that the children will walk around the table to. The end of the melody will be a signal that it's time to grab things and put them on quickly, quickly. Who managed to grab something, he participates in the photo session in it.

At the end of the game, be sure to take a group photo with the participation of all those present at the celebration.

The most beautiful Baba Yaga

This competition will require long skirts, loose sweaters, cosmetics, which will not be a pity, and scarves. Several boys are involved. the main task- change into Babu Yaga, put on makeup and tie a scarf on your head. At the command of the host, the boys begin to turn into a fabulous old woman. The winner can be the fastest or most similar.

Fun instruments for the best orchestra

In order for everyone around to know about the holiday, one cannot do without a noisy orchestra. Spoons, bells, rattles, squeakers, bottles filled with coins, pots, rolling pins, graters, pan lids, rustling bags are the most necessary tools.

The leader is a conductor with a ladle who knows the part for the whole orchestra. Choose a melody that will help the musicians stay in rhythm.

The conductor gives the command in turn, then beat the pots or spoons slowly at first, and then speeding up, setting the pace faster and faster. At the end of the piece of music, everyone should play together. It's not just loud, it's very fun and funny.

And now the disco

Before the holiday, prepare music recordings to which you can have fun and jump from the heart. Also remember or come up with a few simple dance moves. Keep them simple and fun. The children will be happy to repeat the movements after you. At the end of the disco, change places with the children. Let them show you the movements, and you will repeat. Cunning little rascals come up with so much fun and they themselves will be happy about it.

You can’t re-speak all the tongue twisters

Write in advance on pieces of paper different tongue twisters. Before the competition, divide the participants into two teams. Their captains pull out several tongue twisters from a magic hat. In a few minutes allotted for preparation, you need to learn how to pronounce tongue twisters well. The team with the fastest and most accurate word wins.

ball hockey

Choose a gate and think of how you can control the ball. It can be:

• badminton racket
• sausage shaped balloon
• two fans. But this can happen in children over 9 years old. In this case, you do not need to touch the ball with a fan. Drive it into the gate with air currents.

For the game, we choose two people who stand at the "center line". At the signal of the leader (he is also the chief referee of the competition), the players, in order to win, drive the ball into the goal.

Classic toilet paper mummy

This is one of the most played games. But children still do not know such a fun game. Rule one - quickly and firmly, the team wraps their mummy in toilet paper. Don't you need to be told how to determine the winners?

Funny relay race "Centipede"

The participants are divided into teams. They must have more than 2 people. Children line up one after another. A balloon is clamped between the child's stomach and the back of the previous one. You can't help with your hands. Such a centipede must go to the chair. The first player must take a red ball from it, after which the centipede goes back. The fastest team that doesn't fall apart along the way wins.

If there are not so many guests to create large teams, then you can arrange individual jumps with balls sandwiched between your knees. A similar competition is called "Penguin". In it, the ball is held by the ankles. In this case, you can not jump, you can only run towards the goal with small steps without losing the ball.

Beauty, let's draw a face for you

In this funny competition, we cannot do without a balloon and a scarf. Let's find out who will quickly draw the face of sister Alyonushka and tie her a scarf. Alyonushki from balloons are very different and very similar to Baba Yaga. The beauty contest between Alyonushki should be accompanied by an honorary passage of the author with his work of art to the applause of other participants.

I am not greedy, I am economic

Today you can't go anywhere without balloons. Scatter a lot of balls on the floor. They should not have long threads. You need to try and keep as many balls on yourself as possible. It is allowed to stuff them into your T-shirt, hold them with your hands and feet, try to attach it with a hairpin. Don't forget your teeth. They can hold the tail of the ball. Or maybe the participants will be able to come up with something new in keeping the balls on their bodies. Capture the heroes of this funny competition in a photo.

It's time to think about water. What child refuses to play pranks with water? At a children's holiday, we cannot pass by such a pleasure. We collect water in a basin or bucket. We place a ship in our sea. To do this, take an excellent plastic cup, on which we write the real name. All adults know that whatever you call a boat, that's how it will float.

Let's set the ship afloat. The little guests, who stand around the sea, take turns pouring water into the glass. The one who was able to sink the ship is out of the game. The winner is the last remaining participant. He receives the title of a real sea wolf, and everyone goes to deal with icebergs in honor of this. Icebergs - this will be the most delicious ice cream.

Wishes that always come true

I want to end an amazing children's holiday in the most magical way. Let's make sure that all children have their most cherished dreams come true. To do this, each guest can take a piece of paper and a pen or colored pencil. We will write or draw our desire, who knows what. We will tie the cherished leaves to balloons that are inflated with helium. Gather your cheerful and noisy company on the street or on the balcony. And we release our desire into the sky. It remains only to wait for it to be fulfilled.
