Children's competitions 7 10 years. Professional animators give advice. Fourteenth game: "Ear, throat, nose"

To introduce all the children at the beginning of the holiday, let's play the first game:

What is your name? Toddler game

The leader throws the ball in a circle, asking all the participants the same question: “What is your name?”. The children say their names. Second round: you can no longer give your name, you need to quickly come up with a nickname that matches the character or appearance of its owner. For example, a girl with blonde hair- Goldilocks, gallant boy - Knight, etc. Whoever makes a mistake and says his name is out. The prize is awarded to the most attentive child.

Cat and mouse birthday game

Two drivers are chosen - a cat and a mouse. The rest of the players stand in a circle, holding hands, thereby forming a gate between themselves. The cat is behind the circle, the mouse is in the circle.
The task of the cat is to enter the circle and catch the mouse. In this case, the cat is allowed to break through the chain of players, crawl under clasped hands or even jump over them.
The players try not to let the cat inside the circle. If the cat manages to get into the circle, the players immediately open the gate and release the mouse. And they try not to let the cat out of the circle. At the end of the game, when the cat has caught the mouse, they stand in a circle, and the players choose a new cat and mouse.

Basketball birthday game

Place the two quietest or simply unwilling to play kids at different ends of the room on low, stable chairs. If there are none, adult guests will help.

Ask them to make a ball ring with their hands clasped in front of them. The ball will serve Balloon ik. Explain to the children two basic rules: the ball must not fall to the floor and it must not be held in the hands - only toss and hit it in the direction of the ring.
Let's start and enjoy the spectacle of running and merrily noisy babies. The father or another adult should act as an arbiter.

A goal is counted if the ball went into the ring. The “ring” at this time can catch the ball and be substituted for the passes of teammates. The match can drag on for a long time, so consider an intermission or time limit for each half.

Windball mini championship

You will need a smooth, even small table and a couple of players. Have them stand on opposite sides of the table. Place a plastic lid in the middle of your child's favorite juice or drink. This will be the ball.

Players must score goals against each other using only the force of the blown air. Do not use hands, teeth or appliances. Know yourself blow on both cheeks. When the cap falls to the floor from the side of one of the participants, the goal will be counted.
Give the winner of the competition a crystal goblet filled to the brim delicious drink, cork from which the children played.

River game

For this task you will need a piece of cloth of blue color. Fold it several times to make a thin strip. At first the stream is thin, the children jump over it. Gradually it becomes wider. Water is added, and we lift and release the fabric more and more sharply. Children crawl, trying not to hurt her.

Birthday test

On the floor in front of the birthday boy, they put a column of glasses of water (3-4 pieces) and invite him to walk along the path, stepping over each of them. Then the eyes are tied with a scarf. At this time, someone quickly removes the glasses, and the birthday boy is offered to repeat the path traveled for the first time. At the same time, they comment that he steps more carefully. When the test is over, the eyes are untied and they show that he was afraid to step on in vain: there are no glasses at all.
One two Three! Ticklish, run!

We will amuse the children and tickle them a little, check whether they are in a joyful mood or not. The host counts to three, and then says: “Ticklish, run!”. Whoever is caught is tickled for a few seconds and released. Children try not to get caught.

Competition Strongmen

Announce to the children that they will compete in a competition to be the strongest. Let them demonstrate the biceps. And then tell about the essence of the test. You need to hold the felt-tip pen between your nose and lip, who is longer. At the same time, adults are trying in every possible way to make the “strong men” laugh. Who can resist temptation?

Delicious birthday contest

The child is blindfolded and put in his mouth a piece of some fruit or berry. The assortment should be extensive - bananas, oranges, apples, pears, pineapples, kiwi. You can add grapes, plums, cherries, watermelon. The kid must taste to determine what kind of fruit it is.

Naughty is allowed - put the kids in the mouth gelatin candy, a slice of chocolate, a piece of cake or sour lemon.
Take the trouble to find out the culinary preferences of the guests before the competition and be sure to take into account the wishes of their parents. The one who guesses gets the same fruit as a reward.
Also, do not forget to arrange dances for the children, play forfeit, sing.

If the celebration is mostly attended by peers, you can also make school competitions. Since at the age of six children are already preparing for school in full. Just let them read and write. We determine who is better and faster.

No one doubts the fact that the birthday boy - main character on your birthday. BUT Special attention give to the birthday child, because for him this is a long-awaited, special day. 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 will do, which will appeal to an adult company and amuse the kids 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 store household appliances, 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.

Birthday entertainment for cheerful company children should match the age of the guests and the nature of the event. In this article, you will find many options for interesting and exciting contests and games that your little birthday boy and his guests will surely enjoy.

Entertainment for the little ones

First of all, you should focus on the age of the child when planning entertainment for the birthday. 6 years old is the age when children can already perfectly perceive various competitions, delve into the rules of the game, and compete with each other. If the baby turns 5 - 7 years old, you should prepare all the entertainment program holiday. To create a real festive mood, you can - let everyone at the holiday be in the role of their favorite hero. We offer you some fun contests available to preschoolers and younger students:

Freeze

The leader stands in the center of the circle and holds a balloon. While the ball is in the hands of the host, the children can move, jump, dance, talk as they please. As soon as the leader lowers the ball and it touches the floor, you need to freeze in one position, do not move or smile. Anyone who does not have time to freeze in time is out of the game.

"Chamomile"

For this competition, you need to prepare in advance a large paper chamomile flower with many petals, each of which has a funny task written on the back. Each of the kids in turn tears off one petal and completes the task (for example, crows, depicts an animal, reads a funny tongue twister, jumps on one leg, etc.). For the successful completion of each task, a prize is awarded.

"Let's Change"

The guys sit in a circle. The leader is in the center. He says: “Those who have ... change places” (for example, two pigtails, a checkered shirt, etc.). The children whom the leader named should quickly get up and move to another vacant chair. The leader's task is to have time to take a free place. The one who ends up standing becomes the leader.

"Find a Color"

The children are distributed around the room, and the leader says: "One, two, three, find the red color." Each participant must quickly find any red object in the room and touch it. The one who failed to do this is out of the game, and for the rest, the competition continues. You can play until there is only one winner left.

"Drawing in several hands"

Children are divided into two teams. Two participants from each team on large sheets begin to draw a picture on a given topic (for example, some animal). At the signal of the leader, the players change - the first artist is replaced by another child from his team. This continues until everyone takes part in the work on the picture. The task can be complicated if you blindfold the artists - so the resulting masterpieces will be even funnier.

"Guess the offer"

The players are divided into two teams. Each team confers among themselves and comes up with some funny phrase. All words from this sentence are divided among team members. Players in turn must depict each word with gestures and movements, and members of the opposite team must guess the intended sentence. The team that can more competently and more accessiblely portray their phrase wins.

"Word Chains"

Each child receives a piece of paper and a pen. The host calls any word, for example "pencil". Children must make a chain of words so that each subsequent word begins with the last letter of the previous one. For example: pencil - hat - orange - nose - pine .... The winner is the participant who manages to make the longest chain in three minutes.

"Do the opposite"

The facilitator calls some action, for example, "raise your hands up." Children must perform this action in reverse (for example, if the leader says to raise their hands, on the contrary, they need to be lowered down). The one who fails and cannot complete the task on the contrary, is eliminated from the competition. The game continues until one most attentive participant remains. The leader's tasks can be, for example, the following: lean to the left, raise right leg, raise your head, etc.

"Bubble Contest"

For this game, you need to prepare a sufficient number of soap bubbles in advance, so that they are enough for all the participants. Children can determine the rules of the game themselves, for example, the one who blows the biggest bubble wins, or the one whose bubble does not burst the longest. This entertainment is perfect for the street, for example, if you are spending a birthday in nature or just went out into the yard during children's holiday.

"Eat an Apple"

Several apples (according to the number of guests) are hung on strings. The task of each child is to try to eat his apple without the help of hands. The first person to complete this task wins.

If you wish, you and your child can come up with your own games and competitions yourself. Give him the opportunity to participate in the preparation for the birthday, for the child this is a great chance to show independence and their creative abilities.

Entertainment program for teenagers

Older children need completely different games and entertainment for their birthday. 12 years at home, for example, is a completely different holiday that will look more mature and have a radically different character and direction. However, even at this age, the birthday boy and his guests will certainly be happy to participate in fun contests. Here are some options interesting games and competitions that will not let anyone get bored at your holiday:

"Crocodile"

Birthday contests on the street and at home

If there is no way to take the children out into nature, then on the eve of the birthday, you need to prepare the most big room in the house. All furniture should be removed from it so that there is more free space.

In advance, you need to lay out all the things that the host will need for the competition. To do this, in the corner of the room you can put round table and cover it with a screen from prying eyes. You can also put a music center or a laptop with speakers there.

For competitions, you can use a variety of sports equipment that cannot be used at home: badminton, volleyball or soccer ball, tennis rackets, etc. Naturally, the direction of competitions is changing: most often they acquire a sporting character. These competitions are suitable for children of all ages.

What to look for when holding competitions

First of all, it is necessary to clearly define which age group will take part in the competition. When children of the same age play, then it is much easier, because they have the same interests.

If guys different ages, it is important to consider whether a particular competition will be of interest to all those present.
Holding children's competition, as mentioned above, requires a lot of free space.
The organizers should take care in advance about where the holiday will take place.
You should also take into account the nature and personal characteristics of each invited child. If for the most part the children are not active, there is no need to include sports competitions in the script. In this case, intellectual competitions are suitable.

When a child is 11 years old, he wants to show his individuality by all means. Competitions should be based on this. They should be aimed at creating a close-knit and friendly atmosphere in the team, and in no way hint at the child’s incompetence or inability.
