Fun competitions and games for children on their birthdays. The best games and competitions for teenagers for a children's party, birthday: description

In which we did without competitions. But... There were so many requests in the comments for help in organizing the holiday that I searched the Internet three times in search of games and entertainment that were not very childish and did not require the presence of an adult presenter.

The task, I tell you, is very difficult. There are funny competitions, but they are too early to hold in adolescence, and they can only amuse drunken guests. This doesn't suit us...

Where to begin

The “Holiday Again” website contains many ready-made free scripts. These are not only selections of competitions, but also full-fledged home quests and creative programs (culinary, photo parties, etc.)

Dancing with obstacles

First stage. We stretch one rope at a height of 1 meter, and the other at a height of 50 cm from the floor. You can move them a little, not one above the other. As a rule, there is no place to tie in the apartment; you have to hold the ends of the upper and lower ropes in your right and left hands.

Now we turn on dance music (preferably fast Latin) and ask you to step over the bottom rope and crawl under the top rope. If there are few guests, several dance circles.

Second phase. We blindfold two participants tightly and ask them to overcome obstacles. We are quietly removing the ropes... all that remains is to observe the efforts of the careful dancers.

Frozen Artist

Presenter: “We need two people who can draw well.” He gives them a felt-tip pen: “Only today you won’t need this, I’ll put a spell on you. Imagine that there is an invisible sheet of paper in front of you, prepare a felt-tip pen and... freeze!”

We call the other two participants, to whom we give a landscape sheet (it is better to attach it to a solid base). The idea is for artists with felt-tip pens to stand motionless, and their assistants move the sheet along the tip of the felt-tip pen, trying to capture a drawing that everyone can understand. It could be a portrait of the birthday person, a birthday cake with candles, or just a house with a tree and the sun. Everything turns out funny, try it!

Siamese twins

You need to write some part of the body on the cards, call all the guests and line them up in pairs. Each pair draws a card and sticks with the body part they were given, like Siamese twins. Toes, heels, backs of heads, elbows, knees, backs. Now you need to tie a scarf to each other. Let one pair perform, the rest just watch. The winner is the one who had the most a difficult situation. Try putting a scarf on your “twin” if your backs are stuck together...

What did you do there?

The game is equally fun among both children and adults, as it is more fun random coincidences It’s hard to come up with questions and answers.

We write on the signs:“Dentist’s office”, “Director’s office”, “Toilet”, “Bathhouse”, “Bakery”, “Cinema”, “Post Office”, “Park”, “Zoo”, “Theater”, “Barbershop”, “Basement” , “Construction”, “Kindergarten”, “ Pension Fund", "Desert Island", "Fitness Club".

The player stands with his back to the guests, and the host places a sign with one of these inscriptions on his back. The guests know what they are talking about, but the “lucky one” answers at random. Players can be changed. Here sample list questions (you cannot answer “yes” or “no”):

Do you go there often? (Every Friday, three times a week, rarely but with pleasure)
Do you like this place? (It can be better, I still don’t understand for sure)
Who do you usually go there with?
With whom from famous people would you like to meet there?
What do you usually take with you there? Name three things.
What do you usually do there?
Why did you choose this place?

We change the sign and the player. It's fun when kindergarten go once a month with Alla Pugacheva, take a laptop and a toothbrush with you, practice ballet there or eat pizza)

Downed pilots

I once held this game on February 23 at school, but all the spectators were so carried away that I boldly suggest organizing it at a birthday party. Oddly enough, it’s exciting.

We make 5-6 paper airplanes, and put about 20 paper lumps in a basket. One person launches airplanes (choose the longest side in the room), everyone else tries to shoot down the flying airplanes. If this is a competition to identify the winner, we give each person 5 attempts.

Fashion show

It can be held at the moment when you want to invite guests to the table. Line them up against the opposite wall and solemnly announce (no need to hand out roles in advance): “The following have arrived for the gala dinner: a famous yogi, a dancer from the east, Baba Yaga, a fairy-tale Princess, an Ogre, the rat Shushera, a Ballerina from the Bolshoi Theater, a one-legged Pirate, the President of Russia , a bodybuilding champion, a famous supermodel (actress), a baby who learned to walk today.

All guests need to walk a few steps in character and sit down at the table.

Unlucky sculptor

There is no need to tell anyone the name of the competition in advance, otherwise the meaning will become clear, and we don’t need that. All guests must go to another room, leaving only the host and three players. You appoint one as a sculptor and ask him to put the other two in the most uncomfortable positions. For example, let the first one freeze, doing push-ups from the floor in the top position, and the second one sit on his back, clasping his hands behind him. And now the presenter changes the one who has the hardest time in the new sculpture to the sculptor himself. Since you yourself invented torture for others, take the rap :-).

Now you can start one new player from another room. Now it is the sculptor who must examine the previous strange statue and create his new one, again coming up with complex poses. We repeat everything, the sculptor takes the place of the victim himself. It always turns out funny, try it! Naturally, all other guests enter one by one and remain in the room until the end of the game.

Snowman

Line up several people (4-6) behind each other, sideways to the guests. Show the last player a simple drawing of a snowman and ask him to draw THIS on the back of the previous player. He tries to understand what was depicted to him, draws on his back what he understood (silently). So we get to the first in this line, who must depict the initial drawing on blank paper. Usually the snowman turns into a face :-). The rest of the details are lost along the way.

Guess what's in your hands

Thanks to the oddities of soft toy manufacturers, this competition turns out to be funny. We blindfold the player and ask him to guess what he is holding in his hands. For example, when we asked to identify a snake in a Santa Claus hat with a gift bag, the girl said that it was a snail. Guests are always surprised that they were unable to guess such an obvious animal. It’s funnier if a person comments out loud on his guesses.

What would the Indians call you?

This is not a competition, just a reason to laugh at the table while eating cake. I found a picture on the Internet and laughed myself. These are joke names that the Indians might give you. The first column is the first letter of the name, the second column is the first letter of the surname. I, Irina Panasyan, would be called the Playful Pelican...

Verbal shifters

Solving the shifters is fun. Let me remind you that this is:

Milk boils over standing sand (which means, “Water does not flow under a lying stone”).

I won’t list all the options with answers, just copy the link, there are about 100 options:

http://livk.ru/category/igry/perevertyshi/

Upside-down pictures

Print these pictures and cut them out so that the answer is not so obvious. In principle, you can cover the half with a sheet of paper directly on the monitor. First, show the first one: “You see, here a huge crow grabbed a little man with its beak. Guess what you will see if you turn the picture over.” Correct answer: “A man in a boat near the island to which he swam huge fish" There is a lot of this on the site I give!

Puzzles

Move 3 matches so that the arrow points in the other direction. There are answers to all riddles!

I advise you to buy fireplace (long) matches. This is more obvious in a company.

Questions and answers

This is absolutely a win-win entertainment. Tested at thousands of children's and adult parties. I found a site that has a selection of questions and answers that are relatively appropriate for birthdays for 12-14 year olds.

This is how it should be done. It is enough for only the presenter to have questions; you can read them in a row. But the answers should be printed on separate pieces of paper and guests should be invited to draw out a piece of paper at random: “Do you brush your teeth?” - “Yes, I have many talents...”

Drawing 3D

Nowadays creative master classes are popular even among adults, so let’s not lag behind. I like that this particular drawing ALWAYS works for EVERYONE, and it looks very impressive. What do you need? Album sheets for each person, a simple pencil, markers and 5-7 minutes of time.

We put left palm onto a sheet of paper and trace along the outline with a pencil. Now take a felt-tip pen of any color and draw parallel lines at a distance of 1 cm from each other. Just a straight line from the edge of the paper, and where the outline of the hand begins, you need to draw an arc. After the outline of the hand, continue the straight line. From the picture, I think everything is clear. It turns out a real 3D drawing! I think it's great!

Using felt-tip pens of other colors, we repeat the bends of the first lines, this is already quite simple. If you put a date on the picture and hang it in a frame, you will remember for a long time what a good time you had with your friends on your birthday.

What else is on this site...

There are excellent quest scenarios:, and, which you can organize for your guests. In both quests, you can change the tasks themselves (make them more difficult or easier).

If there are only girls at the party, look and.

. There are tasks there that can be used not only in the New Year.

Also... At this age they often end up studying music and drawing, so I advise you to watch:

A child's birthday is always a huge holiday for parents! After all, it was on this day that a child appeared in their family. little man, which constituted the meaning of their existence. Is it possible to have a children's birthday party in an apartment? Easily! First, you should understand that a child’s birthday is not only his holiday, but also yours, so it is not at all necessary to put everything entirely on your shoulders.

Let's get acquainted

It happens that at home parties there are children in the company who do not know each other. How to make them friends? Of course, by offering to play, then no one will have any awkwardness.

Children join hands and stand in a circle. Inside the circle is the birthday boy or the chosen leader. All children, on command or to the soundtrack of a cheerful children's song, begin to move in a circle in right side. The birthday boy goes to the left, facing the guests. At the command “stop” or a pause in the music, all children stop. The birthday boy meets the child who happens to be opposite him. The game is repeated as many times as there are children in the circle, so that the hero of the occasion can get to know everyone. An adult stops the music and says “stop” when meeting children who are still unfamiliar.

If all the children know each other, this game can be played differently. Everyone who stops at the signal in front of the birthday boy congratulates him and gives him compliments.

Formula 1

A rope of the same length (3-4 meters) is tied to two sticks (pencils can be used). The free ends of the ropes are tied by machine. The “finish line” that both players are facing can be marked with a ribbon or drawn with chalk.

The rest command: “One, two three, start!” Two players begin to quickly wrap strings around pencils. Whose car crosses the finish line first wins.

Then the next pair competes. The winners advance to the semi-finals and compete against each other. The champion is awarded a “super prize”.

Vanya - simplicity

This children's folk game“Vanya-simplicity” is suitable for a company with no more than five children, and the room is quite spacious.

Children stand up like a train, that is, one after another, with their hands on the shoulders of the person in front. They begin to follow the leader, “Vanya”. At the same time they say: “Vanya, Vanya-simplicity, I bought a horse without a tail.” At the words “he sat down backwards and went to the garden,” everyone moves in the opposite direction, backwards. Then they stop and say: “One, two, three, catch!” After this, the children run away different sides, and “Vanya” catches the players.

Instead of the name “Vanya,” you should say the name of the child standing first. For example, “Sasha-simplicity”. When the game is repeated, the next child becomes the driver (Misha, Misha-simplicity).

Mistress

Two or three people participate in the competition. It is necessary to separate peas, beans and beans mixed in a cup into separate piles, or beads of two or three types, or pasta - feathers, horns and shells. You can offer this mixture to each player in their own separate container. These can be glasses or salt shakers of the same size. Then the winner is the one who sorts out all the contents of his bowl first.

If there are no three identical small vessels, you can mix everything in one large cup, sit the players around it and give them a certain time. Whoever, within the allotted time (no more than three minutes!) has more piles sorted on the table in front of him, wins.

Try to guess

An adult asks the children to guess how many nuts or sweets are in a transparent jar. Or how much this toy weighs (what length, height). Or on what page is the bookmark in the book, if there are so many pages in total. Determine by touch what is in this bag. Or guess what is in closed box, which cannot be opened, but can be picked up, shaken, turned over, etc.

Children express their versions. Whoever guesses correctly or whose answer is closest to the truth is awarded this box, jar along with its contents, book or toy as a prize.

Naturally, when preparing the material, an adult himself carefully recalculates, measures, weighs it and remembers the correct answer.

Take a chair

Each child, except one, comes out with their own chair. The chairs make a circle. Free space is left between the chairs so that a person can easily pass.

The presenter turns on the music, or rings the tambourine, or rhythmically claps his hands. Children walk around the chairs. As soon as the sounds stop, each player tries to occupy any chair. The one who does not have enough space is eliminated from the game.

Another chair is removed, and if there are many players, then two or three chairs at once.

The game continues until one of the two most dexterous children is on the last remaining chair. He is a winner.

Greedy

This competition requires a lot of balls or balloons. From two to four participants compete. Each of them tries to collect and hold as many of the named objects as possible.

You can make the task more difficult. Each player is given three attempts, during which he must take and move as many balls as possible to his corner.

Whoever succeeds in this is declared the main... greedy. If you feel that this might offend your child rather than make him laugh, don’t say this word! The prize is awarded to the winner in any case.

Who's lucky?

Children split up in twos and stand up pair by pair. Couples raise their clasped hands. All pairs run forward one by one through the resulting gate from behind. Thus, each last pair, having run between all the children, becomes the first for a while.

All pairs gradually move back together so as not to go beyond the space allocated for the game. It is advisable that the game be accompanied by cheerful music.

The driver stands in front of the players with his back to them. This could be a parent, a character, or a birthday person. He has several paired prizes, for example: two pens, two markers, two lollipops, two bookmarks, two notepads, etc.

When the driver says “stop!”, the players (and the music) stop. The driver, without turning around, says: “This pair of chocolates!” Then he turns and gives sweet prizes to the couple who happened to be directly behind him at that moment (that is, the first couple). The couple that is ahead at the word “stop!” next time may receive notebooks or bookmarks.

The game is played until the driver runs out of prizes. It is possible that some couples will not receive prizes at all, and some will receive two or three times. It depends on how lucky you are!

Dance with tasks

Children dance freely to their favorite music. The leader from time to time shouts out command words, which the dancers must immediately carry out. For example, the leader can ask everyone to continue dancing in pairs or threes, follow the birthday boy in a chain or snake, then change into a round dance, etc.

Congratulations with a song

The birthday boy walks out the door. Guests choose which song they will perform for him. For example, they decide to sing the chorus from “Song of the Crocodile Gena.”

All participants must say one word from this song, and at the same time. Therefore, they agree on who will speak and which word from the selected song. If there are many children, then they are divided into groups, each of which is assigned its own word.

You must exclaim together, on command (for example, by waving your hand). Some shout “unfortunately”, others (at the same time) - “day”, others - “birthday”, fourth - “only”, etc.

Upon returning, the birthday boy must guess what song the guests want to perform for him. If he guessed correctly, then he listens with pleasure or sings this song with the guests.

If the song is not guessed the first time, then with a wave of the organizer’s hand the words are repeated again. Thus, the hero of the occasion is given a second chance to hear and guess the song, and those congratulating them are given the opportunity to finally sing it, to the delight of themselves and the birthday boy.

On New Year's holiday Father Frost or Snow Maiden can come out of the hall, and the children, divided into three teams, shout out the words “in the forest”, “born” and “Christmas tree”. On March 8, dad and children can perform their favorite song for mom in the same way.

Birthday

The guests dance in a circle to the right. The birthday boy moves inside the circle to the left. He sentences or hums (the melody is arbitrary):

I'll go in circles

I'll find a pair for myself.

Come on, Olenka (Sasha) - my friend,

Come out to the circle with me!

The birthday boy brings the chosen child into the circle. The game can then develop in three different ways.

First option

The “buddy” and the birthday boy dance in a circle, and the other children clap. Later they can also join in the dance.

Second option

The birthday boy and the invitee dance together in a circle. Then each of them invites a new partner. Now two couples are dancing in a circle. Then each of these four chooses another “buddy” for himself, and in the middle there are already four couples dancing. And so on until all the children are invited to dance.

Third option

The birthday boy ends his text with these words:

You and I should drive now,

Let's start catching everyone!

The game turns into “catch-up”. The birthday boy and his “buddy” catch the rest of the children. The players scatter, but freeze in place or leave and sit down if the drivers touch them.

The birthday boy and the “buddy” can arrange a competition among themselves to see who can catch the most players. In this case, each caught child goes to the side assigned to the driver who caught him.

Find and name

If the holiday is held in a cramped room, crowded with furniture, where there is no opportunity for outdoor games, you can give the guests of the birthday boy the task of finding as many words in the room as possible starting with the same letter. The birthday person indicates the letter by opening his favorite book on some page.

Or they look for objects that begin with the same letter as the name of the hero of the occasion. For example, for Sasha they will name words starting with the letter “c” (glass, wall, chair, candle, salad). And for Katya they will choose words starting with the letter “k” (book, chair, cat, baby, ketchup, fireplace). The participant who names the most words with one letter wins.

Cat and mice

The driver is a “cat” (you can tie a bow around your neck), the rest of the participants are “mice”. The “cat” sits on a chair and pretends to be sleeping. The “mice” carefully, on their toes, move around the room around the cat or scattered and say, first very quietly, then louder and louder:

Tra-ta-ta, tra-ta-ta,

We are not afraid of the cat.

We are cat-cats,

Let's turn the gate!

The “cat” wakes up, meows and catches up with the mice. It is prohibited to touch the “cat” during “sleep”!

Bread

Russian folk needle

Children are divided into two teams. There are equal numbers of players in each of them, and they stand next to each other. The teams are located on the same straight line facing each other. It is desirable that the distance between the teams be large enough.

In the center of the court, on the same line with the teams, strictly in the middle between them, one child squats. This is "bread". He is chosen by a counting rhyme in advance.

All players, except for “bread”, begin to pronounce the words in chorus:

That's how tall

(raise hands up)

That's how wide

(spread arms to the sides)

Cut and eat!

(clap their hands for “cut”)

After the clap, the first players of both teams rush out of their seats and try to be the first to run and touch the “bread”. The player who succeeds takes the “bread” and takes it to his team. They stand behind the rest of the players. The less fortunate player of the opposing team becomes the “bread” himself and sits in his place.

The game repeats itself. The same words are said in chorus again and the same actions are performed, but now the next players of both teams (now they are the first) compete for the “bread”.

The game ends when all members of both teams compete with each other. The team with more players wins. This means that they more often took “bread” for themselves.

The older the child gets, the more parents rack their brains about what to give their child for his birthday, how to celebrate this holiday, what program and where to hold it.

Every adult wants to please children, do something unusual, surprise them with something. Turning seven years old... What demands do modern children make to their parents at this age? What does a real holiday mean to them?

If you are soon going to celebrate a birthday at home with a lot of guests, our tips and ideas are for you.

Repertoire

Before you start selecting games and competitions for 7-year-old children for their birthday at home, decide what the repertoire will be: aimed in one key (only competitions, only experiments, etc.), or containing a variety of items (competitions interspersed with games, experiments, practical jokes, etc.).

We offer you some numbers that your seven-year-olds will surely enjoy.

Experiments for children's birthdays

For older preschoolers and younger schoolchildren will please you and will be remembered for a long time interesting experiments. Here are some of them.

Letter for the birthday boy

Prepare your letter in advance as follows. Dip a cotton swab in milk and write a message for the hero of the occasion on a white sheet of paper. Dry the letter. Show the children White list and tell him that the birthday boy needs to read this. Let the guys themselves come up with ideas on how to develop the text. Then take a burning candle and move the flame across the paper in sliding movements in the place where the message is written. The letters will gradually appear and children will be able to read the text.

Inflatable bottle

Place in a half liter plastic bottle 2 tablespoons baking soda. Take a balloon and vinegar. Pour 50-100 ml of vinegar into the bottle and quickly place a ball on the neck. Hold the balloon at the base and shake the bottle - the interaction of soda and vinegar will gradually inflate it.

Eruption

Make a hollow “volcano” from plasticine. Place inside a narrow-necked bottle with soda and a piece of orange paint (gouache, food grade, etc.). Press the hole on top of the “volcano” to the opening of the container so that the emerging “lava” flows out. Pour vinegar into the top hole (in the bottle) and wait for the “eruption” to begin.

Birthday pranks for children

The point of pranks is to amuse the audience. Children love to laugh! For pranks, choose non-offensive children who understand humor.

Match

A volunteer is called and given the task of throwing off, with the help of facial expressions, without moving his head or using his hands, two matches stuck on his forehead. In fact, one match is attached, and the second is quietly removed, about which the audience should be warned in advance. The first match falls, the player is asked to more actively use facial expressions in order to throw off the second one, supposedly hanging on his forehead. At this time, the audience plays along: they suggest which face is best to make so that the match falls away. Then the player is offered a mirror to make it easier to remove the match. He looks at himself and realizes that he has been played.

Ball

The raffle requires two volunteers. Children sit opposite each other at the table. A ball is placed in the middle and the task is explained: players must, blindfolded, blow the ball to the opponent’s side. The children are blindfolded and the ball is silently removed, and a plate of flour is placed in its place. At “one, two, three” the players begin to blow with all their might. Spectators cheer on their friends and root for the players. When their eyes are untied to show who won, they see that everything around them is white! (Confetti can be substituted for flour.)

Birthday tricks for children

You can show magic tricks to children and teach them how to do the same at the same time. This will be a fun time for a noisy group.

Orange or apple?

Carefully remove the peel from the orange so that it can be placed on the table and looks like a whole orange. Then take a smaller apple and hide it in the peel. Show the children a supposedly whole orange, cover it with a “magic” scarf, then remove the scarf, discreetly removing the peel of the orange, and show the surprised spectators that your orange has turned into an apple.

Empty vase

The magician must have long sleeves; hide a rubber bulb with water in one of the sleeves. Show the children an empty vase and let them see that there is no water in it. Then the magician puts his hand into the vase, pressing the pear with water against the wall, and to the surprise of everyone, splashes out the water.

Games for children for their 7th birthday

Games for seven-year-old children can be organized as active or logical. You can print out various puzzles, crosswords, scanwords and distribute them to the children. So, examples of games for 7-year-old children for their birthday at home.

Images

Parents should prepare cards in advance with animals, birds, etc. written on them that need to be depicted. During the game, one person comes out, draws a card, reads it (possibly with the help of an adult), and imitates the word written on it. The audience must guess what was written on the card. The one who guesses the word changes with the leader.

Ring

All children sit with their palms folded. The presenter with a ring in his folded hands approaches everyone, as if placing a ring in each person’s closed palms. In fact, he quietly puts a ring on someone and says: “Ring, ring, come out onto the porch!” Those sitting nearby (to the left and right of this player) must orient themselves in time and detain him. If the child managed to jump up, he becomes the leader.

Who is he?

Among the players, they think of one person and tell the presenter about him. Then the presenter comes out and is blindfolded. When he comes in, all the players have already mixed up. The presenter must guess the hidden person by hand or head.

Holding children's birthday competitions for 7 years at home is the simplest and most interesting thing for children, because not only the birthday boy, but also the guests receive gifts.

It is better to choose prizes a few weeks before your birthday. For example, when you go to supermarkets, shopping centers, on sales. So that you don’t have to rush to buy “what was in the store” just before your birthday and spend a lot of money. So, what competitions for a 7-year-old child’s birthday can you organize at home on your own?

Picture

Find several pictures, for example, of famous cartoon characters, animals or other objects. It would be good if all the drawings were from the “same opera” to make it easier for children to guess. Cover the picture with a thick sheet of cardboard or a book and slowly begin to open it in small parts. Whoever guesses first what is shown in the picture wins a prize.

Racers

Tie two threads of the same length, one side to two toy cars, the other to pencils. On the count of “one, two, three,” players must wind the thread around the pencil as quickly as possible. The winner gets a prize.

Puzzles

Make a selection of children's riddles. Mark the names of those who guessed correctly on the list. The one who guessed the most riddles receives a prize.

Chain

Take a few packs paper clips, place them in a pile in front of the children. At the leader’s command, everyone begins to build a chain. After a few minutes, the presenter shouts: “Stop” and the winner is determined - the one whose chain is the longest.

"Magic Words"

You must be prepared for the fact that among your birthday boy’s friends there will be children with different characters. Someone may try to disrupt your program, someone will make noise and play around, and someone will be offended for no reason. During the holiday there is no time to teach and instruct children. Therefore, you need to stock up on some " magic words”, so as not to waste a lot of time on bullies.

When you feel that the situation is getting out of control, interrupt the program and encourage everyone to listen carefully to you. When the children are silent, explain your rules to them in a convincing tone. It will all depend on what is going on, what the problem is and which child is causing it.

Strictly say that it starts to take effect at the holiday new law: “Whoever behaves in such and such manner receives a penalty point. For three penalty points, a person leaves the game (goes to play in another room, etc.), and if illegal actions continue, the leader calls the parents, and the offender is taken home.”

At the age of seven, children already perfectly understand cause-and-effect relationships, so your stern tone and the bleak prospect of being left without a holiday will certainly “bring them to their senses.”

Important little things

When preparing a celebration for a child, pay attention to some nuances that play an important role in the child’s perception of the holiday.

Take care not only of decorating the room for the holiday, but also of the original table setting. For seven-year-old children, the taste of the dishes on the table is not as important as their appearance.
A lot of little things are now on sale for setting the table and decorating the room in a festive style, and this will make your birthday bright and unusual.
Find a disc or Internet radio with children's songs that will be played both during the feast and at competitions.
Have someone take pictures and video of the entire event to capture the fun.

And if you are still not ready to take on the entertainment for the guests, then professional hosts for the holiday will come to your aid. But keep in mind that with some companies providing personnel for children's day birth, you need to make an appointment several weeks in advance.

Usually, when parents plan to celebrate a child’s birthday, they have a question: How to cheer up the guests of the birthday boy or girl and make the child’s birthday interesting and fun? To achieve this task, the games we offer will help you. Because all children love fun and active games. We believe that your children are no exception to this rule.

You can also use these games on others family holiday: for example, on the holiday of March 8 or New Year.

GAMES AND COMPETITIONS FOR CHILDREN'S PARTY

Let's get acquainted

It happens that at home parties there are children in the company who do not know each other. How to make them friends? Of course, by offering to play, then no one will have any awkwardness.

Children join hands and stand in a circle. Inside the circle is the birthday boy or the chosen leader. All children, on command or to the soundtrack of a cheerful children's song, begin to move in a circle to the right. The birthday boy goes to the left, facing the guests. At the command “stop” or a pause in the music, all children stop. The birthday boy meets the child who happens to be opposite him. The game is repeated as many times as there are children in the circle, so that the hero of the occasion can get to know everyone. An adult stops the music and says “stop” when meeting children who are still unfamiliar.

If all the children know each other, this game can be played differently. Everyone who stops at the signal in front of the birthday boy congratulates him and gives him compliments.

Formula 1

The rest command: “One, two three, start!” Two players begin to quickly wrap strings around pencils. Whose car crosses the finish line first wins.

Then the next pair competes. The winners advance to the semi-finals and compete against each other. The champion is awarded a “super prize”.

Vanya-simplicity

This children's folk game “Vanya-Simplicity” is suitable for a company in which there are no more than five children, and the room is quite agile.

Children stand up like a train, that is, one after another, with their hands on the shoulders of the person in front. They begin to move behind the leader “Vanya”. At the same time they say: “Vanya, Vanya-simplicity, I bought a horse without a tail.” At the words “he sat down backwards and went to the garden,” everyone moves in the opposite direction, backwards. Then they stop and say: “One, two, three, catch!” After this, the children scatter in different directions, and “Vanya” catches the players.

Children's game Hostess

Two or three people participate in the competition. It is necessary to separate peas, beans and beans mixed in a cup into separate piles, or beads of two or three types, or pasta - feathers, horns and shells. You can offer such a mixture to each player in their own separate container. These can be glasses or salt shakers of the same size. Then the winner is the one who sorts out all the contents of his bowl first.

Game: Try to guess

An adult asks the children to guess how many nuts or sweets are in a transparent jar. Or how much this toy weighs (what length, height). Or on what page is the bookmark in the book, if there are so many pages in total. Determine by touch what is in this bag. Or guess what is in a closed box that cannot be opened, but can be picked up, shaken, turned over, etc.

Children express their versions. Whoever guesses it or whose answer is closer to the truth is given this box, a jar along with its contents, a book or a toy as a prize.

Naturally, when preparing the material, an adult himself carefully recalculates, measures, weighs it and remembers the correct answer.

Children's game: Take a chair

Each child, except one, comes out with their own chair. The chairs make a circle. Free space is left between the chairs so that a person can easily pass.

Another chair is removed, and if there are many players, then two or three chairs at once.

The game continues until one of the two most dexterous children is on the last remaining chair. He is a winner.

Children's game Greedy

This competition requires a lot of balls or balloons. From two to four participants compete. Each of them tries to collect and hold as many of the named objects as possible.

You can make the task more difficult. Each player is given three attempts, during which he must take and move as many balls as possible to his corner.

Who's lucky?

All pairs gradually move back together so as not to go beyond the space allocated for the game. It is advisable that the game be accompanied by cheerful music.

The game is played until the driver runs out of prizes. It is possible that some couples will not receive prizes at all, and some will receive two or three times. It depends on how lucky you are!

Children's game Dance with tasks

Congratulations with a song

The birthday boy walks out the door. Guests choose which song they will perform for him. For example, they decide to sing the chorus from “Song of the Crocodile Gena.”

You must exclaim together, on command (for example, by waving your hand). Some shout “unfortunately”, others (at the same time) - “day”, others - “birthday”, fourth - “only”, etc.

Upon returning, the birthday boy must guess what song the guests want to perform for him. If he guessed correctly, then he listens with pleasure or sings this song with the guests.

At the New Year's party, Father Frost or the Snow Maiden may come out of the hall, and the children, divided into three teams, shout out the words “in the forest,” “born,” and “Christmas tree.” On March 8, dad and children can perform their favorite song for mom in the same way.

Birthday

The guests dance in a circle to the right. Inside the circle, the birthday boy moves to the left. He sentences or hums (the melody is arbitrary):

I'll go in circles

I'll find a pair for myself.

Come on, Olenka (Sasha) - my friend,

Come out to the circle with me!

The birthday boy brings the chosen child into the circle. The game can then develop in three different ways.

FIRST OPTION

The “buddy” and the birthday boy dance in a circle, and the other children clap. Later they can also join in the dance.

SECOND OPTION

THIRD OPTION

The birthday boy ends his text with these words:

You and I should drive now,

Let's start catching everyone!

The game turns into “catch-up”. The birthday boy and his “buddy” catch the rest of the children. The players scatter, but freeze in place or leave and sit down if the drivers touch them.

Children's game "Find and name"

Children's game Cat and mouse

Tra-ta-ta, tra-ta-ta,

We are not afraid of the cat.

We are cat-cats,

Let's turn the gate!

The “cat” wakes up, meows and catches up with the mice.

It is prohibited to touch the “cat” during “sleep”!

Children's game Bread

Russian folk game

In the center of the court, on the same line with the teams, strictly in the middle between them, one child squats. This is "bread". He is chosen by a counting rhyme in advance.

All players, except for “bread”, begin to pronounce the words in chorus:

That's how tall

(raise hands up)

That's how wide

(spread arms to the sides)

Cut and eat!

(clap their hands for “cut”)

The game repeats itself. The same words are said in chorus again and the same actions are performed, but now the next players of both teams (now they are the first) compete for the “bread”.

The game ends when all members of both teams compete with each other. The team with more players wins. This means that they more often took “bread” for themselves.
