Birthday games for children 12. Ideas, quizzes, competitions for children's birthday

Greetings, dear blog readers! All fathers and mothers want to organize a real holiday for their “child”. What ideas can you come up with to entertain the children? After all, the gameplay for children is the most interesting and brings a lot of pleasure. And so that this day is not only solemn, but also unusually joyful, so that the house is filled with children's voices, laughter, songs, music, fun and their “treasure” is remembered for a long time.

For this wonderful holiday, parents need to prepare not only goodies for the table, but also an entertainment program for at least 2 hours. It should be lively and rich. Children should not be bored for a single minute. Not only the birthday boy, but every guest should feel like the “center of the universe.”

Therefore, parents of the birthday boy need to develop a plan for organizing and holding the birthday of a child of any age at home:

• determine the number of guests and give them colorful invitation cards
• create room decor (balloons, posters, garlands, etc.)
• buy a new outfit for the hero of the occasion
• buy a desired birthday gift for the birthday boy
• buy small gifts for all guests and gifts for prizes
• record popular and funny children's songs
• determine the holiday menu
• bake a fresh homemade cake and don’t forget about beautiful candles
• write a script for the holiday, including presenting gifts to the birthday boy, an invitation to the festive table, and consideration of gifts. Then entertainment events, songs, games, dances, competitions, riddles, etc.

One year old birthday

Birthday of a child 2-3 years old

Popular birthday games

No birthday can be complete without funny children's games, competitions, and riddles.

Fanta

"The Wolf and the Little Goats." This is an active game.

Draw a string around the houses and place all the children in them, except one. They will play the role of kids. The kids live together and often run to visit each other. And a gray wolf wanders around - one and the players. He tries to catch the kid outside the house. A kid who is caught becomes a wolf. The game continues until everyone is a wolf.

"Cold-hot." This game seems very mysterious to a 5 year old.

The presenter quietly hides the toy (dinosaur). According to the presenter, “cold - warm - hot,” the children guess where to look for the toy. The game continues until everyone plays the role of a seeker. The found toy is a prize to the player who found it.

Guess the Beast is a fun game.

Children are blindfolded and given a soft toy. You need to guess who it is. The game needs to be started by an adult who will deliberately think for a long time, twist, twirl and incorrectly call the hare a bear. Children will laugh and the game will take on a comic character. The game continues until each child plays the role of a guesser.

"Mouse Concert" is an entertaining game.

Print by clicking on the pictures with mice, finger mice. You can glue the head of a mouse out of paper in the form of a bag on your finger, glue on the ears, and draw eyes and a nose with a black felt-tip pen. Each child should put a mouse mask on his finger. The adult will be the first to start the game, singing a song or reciting a poem in a thin, squeaky mouse voice. And then the children will take turns demonstrating their talents on behalf of the mouse.

Don't Crush the Egg is a funny game. It promotes the development of memory, attention and caution.

A piece of any fabric that represents a road is placed on the floor. Raw eggs are laid out on this road. The player is asked to carefully look at the road along which he must pass and not crush a single egg. While the player is blindfolded, the eggs are quietly removed. So he walks very carefully to the end of the road, and when the bandage is removed, the player and all the children laugh.

"Horned". The game requires concentration and attention.

All children stand in a circle and shake their fists. The presenter says: “He walks, wanders... and when the horned goat speaks,” everyone sticks out their fingers. If the presenter says “the goat is hornless,” then they do not unclench their fists. Whoever makes a mistake is eliminated from the game and helps the presenter look for violators.

"It's in the Hat" is a musical game.

A beautiful hat is put on any of the children standing in a circle. Turn on the music. The child in the hat turns around and puts the hat on the neighbor on the left (clockwise). When the music stops, the one wearing the hat leaves the game, sits down at the sweet table and waits for the others.

For the birthday of a child 5-6 years old

About Answer “yes” to everything, nesmeyanu, mummy, mirror, etc. And today I have prepared some more fun activities.

"Basketball" is a game for a group of children.

Attach a wire ring to the wall at a height convenient for this age. The ball will be a balloon. The presenter explains to the children two rules of the game: the ball should not fall to the floor and it should not be held in their hands. The ball can be tossed and hit towards the ring. Whoever makes the most hits in the ring will receive a prize - a chocolate candy, the rest of the players will receive a caramel.

"Images".

Lay out cards with birds and animals depicted on them. The player approaches the table, takes a card and tries to portray with various movements and facial expressions the person who is drawn on it. The player who first guesses the image becomes the leader and the game continues.

“It's boring for us to sit” is a simple game for physical development.

Chairs are placed against the wall of the room for all children. There is one less chair placed against the opposite wall. Everyone sits down and reads the poem:

Oh, how boring it is for us to sit and look at the wall. Isn't it time to go for a run and change places?

At the leader’s command “start”, all players rush to the opposite wall and try to take a place. The one who is left without a chair is out of the game. Then another chair is removed. The game continues until the winner takes the last remaining chair. He is given a large ball (or something else), the rest of the players are given small balls.

Jenga is a board game that develops dexterity, fine motor skills and coordination.

This game is sold in a toy store. A tower of 18 levels is built from 54 multi-colored wooden blocks. To do this, the blocks are folded in threes and the resulting layers are laid on top of each other, one across the other. A cardboard guide will help you level the tower.

This game is best suited for 4 children. You can play with two or more players. They take turns throwing a die, each side of which has a color indicated on it. Now the player with only one hand needs to pull out a block of the same color from the tower and put it on top in order to continue construction. You cannot take blocks from the unfinished top layer and the layer below it. The player who destroyed the tower is considered the loser and the game continues.

"Nonsense" is a cool game.

Take a double (from the middle) notebook sheet of paper and two pens or two pencils. Two players sit at opposite ends of the table and draw, covering the drawing with their hand, someone’s head (a person, a dog, a hare, a cat, a goat). Then they bend the leaf so that the design is not visible, but only the neck is visible, and pass it to the second player. He draws the body (of a hare, a hedgehog, a person, a bear, a dog). He also folds the paper over to cover the drawing and passes it to the first player to draw someone's legs. Then he closes the drawing and passes it again to the second player, who draws someone’s feet. Now we unfold the drawing and see what happened? Funny and fun.
Room decoration idea

For children 7,8,9 years old

For entertainment at the birthday party of children 7,8,9 years old, games of a slightly different nature are needed. These children are already elementary school students. They can read and write and play sports. At this age, children begin to feel part of the adult world. I suggest playing the following games with them:

"Bear" is an outdoor game.

One of the players is elected “bear”. He lies down on the floor. The rest pretend to pick mushrooms, pick raspberries around the “bear” and sing:

The bear in the forest has mushrooms and berries, but the bear does not sleep, he looks into both eyes. The basket overturned and the bear rushed after us.

And then the bear rises and catches the fleeing players. Whoever gets caught becomes a bear. Game continues.

"The Third Wheel" is a musical game.

For the game you will need one fewer chairs than there are guests. Both adults and children play. The chairs are placed with their backs facing each other, with their seats facing outwards. The players stand around the seats of the chairs. The host turns on cheerful music, and the players begin to run around the chairs. As soon as the music turns off, the player must sit on any chair. Whoever does not get a chair is eliminated from the game. Another chair is removed, etc. The winner is the remaining one participant.

“Sparrow-Crow” is a game of attention and reaction speed.

Two players sit at the table opposite each other and extend one hand to each other, but the hands should not touch. The presenter gives names to the players: one is “sparrow”, the other is “crow”. The presenter calls the names of the players. The one whose name is called must grab the opponent's hand. For fun, the presenter slowly and syllable-by-syllable says the names vo-rooo-na, vooo-rooo-bey, or maybe say vo-ro-ta. A caught sparrow becomes a crow, and a crow becomes a sparrow. Game continues.

The Chamomile game is a fun game.

A chamomile is made from white paper with as many petals as there will be guests. Write funny tasks on the back of each petal. Children take turns tearing off one petal at a time and begin to perform the task: dance, crow, sing songs, recite poems, tongue twisters, etc.

"Knowledge" is an educational game.

All children sit on chairs in one row. The host announces the theme of the game, for example, cities. Then he approaches the player sitting on the edge, names any city and gives him a ball. The player must quickly name any city and give the ball to his neighbor. Whoever could not name the city leaves the game. Then the topic changes: fruits, flowers, countries, rivers, names. Game continues.

These games are suitable for children 10–12 years old

If you have a private home and it’s summer outside or you’re celebrating a birthday outdoors, then these are ideal

"Smart and Cheerful Engine" is an intellectual game.

The presenter (adult) asks each player one question. For example, which scientist did an apple fall on his head? (to Newton). Which of the heroes fought with the Serpent Gorynych? (Nikitich). In which hemisphere of the globe do penguins live? (in Yuzhny), etc. If the player answers the question correctly, then he becomes a carriage of a smart locomotive. If the player cannot answer, then he can take a hint for a certain service: sing, recite a poem, dance, portray an animal.

The funny little train must gather all the players and the children in the carriages will sing a funny song.

"Fishermen and Fishes" is an active game.

From all the players, two fishermen are chosen, and the rest of the players are fish. They dance in a circle and sing:

Fish live in the water, They don’t have a beak, but they peck. They have wings, but they don’t fly, They don’t have legs, but they walk. Nests are not made, but babies are hatched.

After this, the fish scatter, and the fishermen join hands and catch them. The caught fish join the fishermen, causing the net to become longer, and catch the rest of the fish. The last fish that the fishermen do not catch is the winner.

“Pick up the key” - this game promotes the manifestation of skill.

Two players are given three locked padlocks and a bunch of keys. The task is to open each lock. The first one to open the locks wins. The game continues until everyone is a “discoverer”.

“Are you going to the ball?” — girls love this game.

The host starts the game with a saying:

- Yes and no - don’t say

Black and white - don't take it,

Will you go to the ball?

- Probably the player is answering.

—What will you go on? Who will you go with? What will you wear? What colour? With such questions, the presenter tries to catch the player and use forbidden words. If by chance a word is said, then the players change roles.

“Treasure Hunt” is an interesting game that develops ingenuity.

The first clue-riddle is read by the presenter:

Everyone who came to visit us,

Let them sit down at our…..The guessing table is the place to look for a clue. There is another clue on the table - which horse doesn’t drink water? The answer is chess. There is another riddle in chess - dressed in a colorful candy wrapper, it lies in a vase..... The answer is candy. The candy again contains a riddle-clue - everyone goes, goes, goes, but they don’t get up from their place. The answer is a clock. Behind the table clock there is a treasure - a box with small chocolates for each player.

Comic win-win lottery game

The adult presenter will place bright lottery tickets with numbers on the table, as many as there are guests. The player approaches the table, pulls out one lottery ticket and says the ticket number loudly.

The presenter reads out the text corresponding to this ticket and gives the prize to the player. Prizes can be very different, and the texts for them are comic and preferably in poetic form:

You won't lose your keys

And you won't forget about them.

Screwdriver.

Games for parents for a child's birthday

Children are very happy when their parents participate in their games. My grandmother told me how she played a game of musical chairs at her seven-year-old daughter's kindergarten graduation and won the musical competition. How happy all the children were, shouting “Hurray!” and applauded. And her daughter’s eyes simply shone with happiness. 50 years have passed since then, and my daughter happily recalls this interesting episode in her life.

I invite adult guests to play the following games with their children at the child’s birthday party:

"Potato soup."

Place two tables at a distance of three meters. Place two plates with seven small potatoes on one table. On another table there are two empty saucepans. Two players are given one tablespoon each. The task is for each player to transfer one potato with a spoon into a pot of seven potatoes for soup. Whoever completes the task faster is the winner. The game continues until all players have cooked soup. Prize for all guests: chocolate candy.

"Box walker".

Prepare four identical cardboard boxes. All players in pairs at the leader’s command “Start!” They compete to see who gets to the finish line the fastest. Then they conduct a second round of those who win, etc. In this way, the fastest box walker is chosen. He is given a prize - a flashlight.

"Kindergarten for kangaroos."

A rope is used to fence off the “kindergarten for kangaroos” 2–3 meters from the starting rope line. Children in groups of 2 each pick up one soft toy (plastic bottles are possible) and only jump to get to the kindergarten. They return back, leaving the kangaroo cubs in the kindergarten, also by jumping. The one who returns the fastest will win.

They are replaced by two parents at the start and jump into the kindergarten to pick up the kangaroo cubs from the kindergarten. And, also jumping, they return to the start. Whoever jumps faster is the winner.

"Magic Pencils"

Two plastic boxes with the following inscriptions are placed on the starting line: a walnut is a prize for the winner, a hazelnut is a prize for the losing player.

Now take two identical pencils and tie them to a thick woolen thread of the same length (about 3 m each).

Two players compete to see who can wind the thread around a pencil the fastest. Prizes are awarded based on the results of the competition.

"Merry Orchestra"

Everything that plays in the house (guitar, balalaika, tambourine, pipe) and even creaks, rustles, rattles (spoons, saucepans, metal lids, metal cans with pennies, etc.), we distribute to children and adults.

Let's play a funny children's song. Everyone starts playing, singing and dancing together. Under this amazing cacophony (chaotic accumulation) of sounds, the result is “outrageous” fun.

For children entering adolescence, the opinion of friends is in many cases decisive. And if your son or daughter’s birthday is coming up and you’ve decided to have a party with friends, then you can’t do without interesting and funny competitions for a cheerful group of teenagers.

Such entertainment will appeal to both children 12-13 years old and older boys and girls. Any holiday should be accompanied by fun, and if there are cool competitions for teenagers with prizes and gifts, then the party will be a success! And sometimes a group of adults will not refuse to have fun, take part in unusual games and competitions.

Funny Party Competitions for Teens

1. “Verka Serduchka performs”. Probably the funniest competitions are those involving dressing up. Provide the participants (boys) with “attributes” of Verka Serduchka: a beret or wig, a plaid skirt, a shiny blouse and two balloons. The guys must take turns dressing up, going out and imitating a famous comedian. For example, the task may be to make a toast in honor of the birthday person in the style of Serduchka. The one who does the best parody wins.
2. "Kalyaki-kalyaki". A very funny game that kids will definitely like. Its meaning is as follows: the presenter names 10 words (preferably nouns), and the players must quickly depict this word on a sheet of paper in the form of a drawing. Literally 5 seconds are given for each word, and the use of letters, of course, is prohibited. Then each player must voice what he has drawn, if, of course, he understands his scribbles.
3. "Surprise from the Bag". To the music, a bag is brought into the center of the room, where all sorts of funny items have been previously placed: scarves, holey socks, baby diapers and pacifiers, hats, suspenders, etc. Each party guest must take one item from the bag and put it on himself without interrupting the dance, which usually happens to the cheerful laughter of the audience.
4. 4. “Grandfather planted a turnip...”. You will need a children's book with fairy tales. The presenter - usually the birthday boy - reads the fairy tale with expression, substituting the names of his guests instead of the names of the characters. It turns out very funny! You can read other fairy tales. “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Ryaba Hen”, “Teremok” and other Russian folk tales go “with a bang”.
5. Next competition - "Like a chicken paw"- consists of guests competing to see who can sign the birthday card better... with their feet! Usually, a sheet of whatman paper is used for this, on which everyone takes turns practicing this difficult art of calligraphy.

Competitions for teenagers with prizes

Birthday at home: new funny competitions and ideas for children from 10 to 12 years old. Play and have fun

Any holiday is a great occasion to gather friends and have fun. But gathering friends and having fun just won’t work, you need to come up with a game program for teenagers in advance and make sure it is a truly entertaining program. You can compose it yourself, or you can check out fun and funny competitions for children aged 10 to 12 years old for their birthday at home. Simple and clever, active and team-based - all the games will appeal to the guests, and they will be happy about the holiday.

The age of 10-12 years is the most interesting age. Boys and young ladies no longer consider themselves children, but they are still far from being adults. Therefore, they will not play too childish games, and they will not really like complex competitions either. Next, we have a selection of competitions that you can use to interest children and have a fun and memorable birthday.

Competition – locks in pose.

All guests take part in the first competition. And the birthday boy is driving. He will be them throughout the competition. The essence of the game is this: a balloon is thrown up, and while it is in the air, the birthday boy shouts what he wants to receive for his birthday. For example, it could be a bicycle. This means that the guests, at the moment when the ball falls to the floor, must freeze in a position that will mean a bicycle. And the birthday boy chooses the best bicycle figure. This is played three to five times, and at the end there is a final, where only the winners of the stages take part. And whoever wins in the end will receive a keepsake from the birthday boy.

Competition - delicious fruit...

All children love fruit. Can they guess the fruit with their eyes closed? It would seem that this is easy to do, but there is one catch. The catch is that you need to prepare freshly squeezed orange, lemon, and pomegranate juice in advance. And pour these juices over apple slices, pear slices, and so on. That is, an apple will taste like pomegranate, a pear will taste like lemon, and so on. Let's see if the children can get confused and not guess the fruit.

Competition - put your word out.

The next competition is a little intellectual, but interesting. You also need matches, which are the main equipment here. Each participant is given one box of matches. Next, the host comes up with and says a word that the guests must lay out on the table or floor using these matches. Whoever completes the task first wins a prize. You can immediately say words that relate to the prize. For example, a ball - which means the winner will receive a prize - a ball. If the word is album, then the prize is a sketchbook and so on.

Competition - who am I?!

For this competition you will need these cardboard faces:

As you understand, a face is inserted into them and the person turns into a cartoon character, fairy tale, and so on. The main task is that the participant should not see who he is. When he is wearing a mask, he asks questions to other guests and, based on the answers received, the participant must guess whose mask he is wearing.

By the way!
With the help of small masks and props, you can greatly diversify your birthday. Templates are easy to make yourself, or you can buy them. Here are examples of interesting ideas for a photo shoot:

Competition - guess who it is.

For the competition you need cartoon frames printed on a sheet of paper. The more and more varied the cartoons, the better. Hang one sheet on the wall or place it on the table, and cover it with the second sheet on top. And you begin to slowly open the picture so that the children begin to guess what kind of cartoon it is. Whoever guessed first is the winner.

Also watch the video, where a professional animator will tell you how to play with gifts for guests, how to use a balloon to create a candy fireworks display, and other secrets for a children's party.

Competition - children's forfeits.

Both children and adults play forfeits, but their tasks are different. In this version of the game of forfeits, only tasks are written on sheets of paper. The first player calls the name of the guest who will perform the task and after that takes out one piece of paper with the task and this task must be completed by the one whose name was called.
There is no need to come up with complex and vulgar buildings. Get by with interesting ideas, like these:
1. Waltz with a spoon.
2. Eat a piece of cake with your mouth without using your hands.
3. Show how the birthday boy has become a year older.
4. Convince adults to take you to a nightclub.
5. Tell everyone how to prepare the soup step by step.

Any tasks, the main thing is that they are interesting and liked by the guests.

We can offer you such interesting games, competitions and ideas to make your birthday a bright event and outshine absolutely all other holidays.

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 one who had the most difficult situation wins. 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, since it’s hard to think of anything more fun than random coincidences of 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 is a sample list of 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?
• Which 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 you go to kindergarten 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 an island, to which a huge fish swam.” 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.

Place your left palm on the sheet 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.

Not a single children's holiday is complete without exciting games and competitions, be it a matinee in kindergarten or graduation in elementary school, a New Year's party or a birthday. At any age, children enjoy taking part in competitions, especially if all participants receive consolation prizes. Here are 13 games for every taste, suitable for children from 6 to 12 years old.

Games for children 6-12 years old

1. “Find the object” – musical game

Attributes: a small object and a source of music.

One of the participants leaves the room. The leader hides a treasure somewhere (for example, candy), then calls the participant and asks him to find it. The candy is searched to the music: The closer the participant comes to the place where the treasure is hidden, the louder the music plays; if he begins to move away from the place, the music is muffled. Music can be replaced with claps if there are several people willing to take part: by changing the volume of the claps, they tell the person looking for the location of the object.

2. “Changing Rooms” – theater competition

Attributes: relay baton and a bag with various items of clothing.

Children stand up, forming a circle, in the center of which they place a bag with various things. Then, to the music, the children pass the baton to each other. The one who has the stick when the music stops runs up to the bag, takes any item and puts it on himself. Then the game continues. You can throw several sticks in a circle. The one with the most items will win.

3. “Lark” – song competition

Attributes: source of music.

Those interested take part in the competition one by one. The presenter plays any famous song. At some point, he turns off the sound, and the participant must sing 1-2 lines. After this the sound turns on. If the participant was able to get into the rhythm of the song, then he continues to participate, if he dragged it out or sang faster than necessary, he is eliminated from the game.

4. "Rhymer"– poetry competition

Attributes: a piece of paper with a list of different words and a pen.

Everyone receives a certain set of words. The participants’ task is to find as many rhymes as possible for each word within a certain period of time. The one who writes down the most words is declared the winner. If there are several contenders for victory (participants with the same number of words), then you can offer them an additional task - to compose a poem with these words.

5. “Strong Men” – sports competition

Those who want to take part find themselves an opponent. Then they stand opposite each other, facing in opposite directions. They grab each other's elbows and, at the leader's signal, try to pull the enemy to their side. Whoever can do this wins.

6. “Electricity” – physical competition

Attributes: plastic sticks and finely chopped paper.

It's no secret that static electricity exists. A charged comb can attract hair, and the accumulation of electricity at the fingertips causes a painful reaction upon contact. If you rub a plastic stick with a woolen cloth, paper will be attracted to it. Small pieces can even be transferred this way. This is precisely the essence of the competition: to move all the paper from point A to point B.

7. “Transfer of Energy” – dance competition

Attributes: the source of the music and the subject matter to be conveyed, such as a book.

All participants are distributed in a chaotic manner around the room. One of them is a driver. He picks up a “source” of energy (a book), which allows him to make any movements. The rest cannot move - they freeze in place. The music turns on, the driver, dancing, approaches any participant, hands him a book and freezes in place. The person who has received the source of energy continues the movement of the first leader - he, also dancing, reaches the next one and transfers the source to him. Thus, all participants must dance. Those who failed the task (moved without a source) are eliminated.
