Games competitions for birthdays. Fun games and competitions for children and adults. What did you do there

When preparing to celebrate his birthday, inviting guests to the celebration, the birthday person needs to select funny table competitions in advance to make the holiday as bright and interesting as possible, and, most importantly, to avoid awkward, protracted pauses or unwanted conversations.

Competitions should be chosen exclusively for table competitions- as a rule, adults have absolutely no desire to get up from the table to participate in outdoor games - therefore an invitation to jump and run is unlikely to be greeted with enthusiasm by guests.

At the same time, the number of competitions should not exceed 5-6, otherwise even the funniest entertainment program will be unreasonably drawn out and will soon become boring.

Necessary props and organizational preparations

Most of the competitions below don't require a host, but some will require a host to be chosen through a public vote—which can be a fun contest in itself.
Or agree in advance that one of your loved ones will take on this role.

Props

For the competition program you need to prepare in advance:

tokens or medals;
red box;
forfeits with tasks;
blindfold and mittens (according to the number of guests);
cards with drawings in a blue or pink (depending on whose birthday) box:
– scales for weighing trucks,
- desert,
- telescope,
- alcohol mashine,
- tank,
- police car,
- lemon Tree,
- propeller.
two bags (boxes);
cards with questions;
answer cards;
long nose made of cardboard and elastic;
glass of water;
ring.

Red box

A “Red Box” with forfeits is being prepared separately for those who lost in competitions or dropped out of the game.
You can make the “Red Box” yourself, from colored paper and tape, or buy a ready-made one.

Forfeit tasks should be as funny as possible, for example:

sing a funny song with a serious look, in a false voice, without hitting a single note;
dance while sitting (with your arms, shoulders, eyes, head, etc. funny dance);
show a trick (and in such a way that it doesn’t work - it’s clear that there are no magicians among the guests);
recite a funny poem, ask an unusual riddle, tell a funny story, and so on.

Attention: The “Red Box” will remain in the middle of the table throughout the entertainment program. As mentioned above, it is for the losing participants. Therefore, do not forget to “reward” the eliminated contestant with a phantom - and it doesn’t matter if the tasks are repeated - after all, everyone will perform them in their own way!

Competition No. 1 “Find the birthday boy”

Guests are blindfolded.
The leader moves everyone as he wants.
As a result, no one knows who is sitting where now, and who is nearby.
Each guest is given warm mittens. You need to find out by touch who is sitting next to you, touching with your hands in mittens only the head and face of your neighbor.
Firstly, it tickles and inevitably makes you laugh!
And secondly, it’s very interesting to try to guess a person through touch!
Each participant guesses who is on the left.
You can only try to guess once; the ultimate goal is to find the birthday person.
The headbands are removed only when the last participant has guessed or not guessed his neighbor, but if the birthday person is discovered, the game ends earlier.
Whoever fails to guess his neighbor draws a forfeit from the “Red Box” and completes a funny task.

Competition No. 2 “Wishes and funny gifts for the birthday boy”

This is a very funny competition for resourceful guests with a sense of humor.
First, the Presenter says the main congratulations.
It sounds like this: “Dear (our) birthday boy (ca)! We all sincerely love you and wish you good health, happiness and prosperity! May all your dreams come true! Now the rest of the guests will complement my wishes!”
Next, each participant must say the following phrase: , and then pull a picture out of the blue (or pink) box, show it to the birthday boy (or birthday girl), and explain why he gives this particular item to the hero of the occasion? If there is no explanation, the contestant reads out the text on the back of the picture.
The next participant, before taking the picture out of the box, again repeats the beginning of the congratulatory phrase “And I know that this is exactly what you really need, that’s why I’m giving it!” and takes out his funny “gift” with an explanation of why the hero of the occasion really needs it!
So, for example, having pulled out a picture of a desert, the participant first says the main phrase with which everyone who draws pictures begins: “And I know that this is exactly what you really need, that’s why I’m giving it!”, and if you didn’t find your wish, read the phrase written on the picture on the back side: “Let them go there, into the distance, forever, holding hands, and let all your enemies and enemies never be able to return, having captured all your troubles!”
What should be depicted and written in the pictures is indicated in the “Preliminary preparation” section, but let us repeat once again:
The box contains pictures of unusual objects.
On the reverse side, as a hint, wishes are written. First, the guest, looking at the picture pulled out of the box, tries to come up with an original wish for the birthday girl (birthday boy), then looks at the hint written on the back of the picture and adds to his congratulations.
You can add other pictures, in any quantity - the more pictures and wishes, the more interesting the competition.

Minimum required images for the competition:
a picture of special scales for weighing loaded KamAZ trucks, on the reverse side it is written: “I wish you so much wealth that it is impossible to count, but only to weigh with such scales!”;
image of a telescope, on the back it says: “I wish that all dreams and their fulfillment were much closer than those stars in the sky that are visible through a telescope!”;
moonshine still, on the back there is a wish: “Let a considerable percentage of unbridled fun always play in your veins!”;
picture of a tank, wish: “So that you always have something to go to the store with!”
image of a police car with flashing lights: “So that when you drive, the people make way!”
tree with lemons growing, inscription: “So that you have “lemons” and not only fruits growing all year round!”
a picture of a desert, on the back it says: “Let all your enemies go there, into the distance, forever, holding hands, and never be able to return, taking all your troubles with you!”
image of a propeller from the film “Kid and Carlson”, inscription: “May your life always be Karslson, who lives on the roof and brings many valuable gifts!”

There are two winners in the competition:
First: the one who came up with the funniest congratulations to the birthday boy (birthday girl);
Second: the one who read the inscription on the picture funniest of all.

Competition No. 3 “Tell about yourself: let’s play cards”

Two bags (or two boxes): one contains chaotically mixed cards with questions, the other contains answers.
1. The presenter pulls a card from the bag with questions and reads it out loud.
2. The first participant in the feast draws a card from the bag with answers and an expression.
It's the random combinations of questions and answers that will be funny..
For example, Leader: “Have you ever been stopped by a traffic police officer?”
The answer might be: "It is so sweet".
You can only draw one card per question.

Competition No. 4 “Intuition”

Each player is given a hoop with a specific shape on his head. It could be a fruit, a vegetable, a character, a famous person.
The players’ task is to guess who he is using clarifying questions that can only be answered “yes” or “no.”
Instead of hoops, you can make cardboard masks, then the game will turn out not only interesting, but also very funny.

Competition No. 5 “Long Nose”

Everyone puts on pre-prepared noses.
At the Leader’s command, you need to pass a small ring from nose to nose, and at the same time a glass of water from hand to hand, trying not to spill a drop.
The game is considered over when both the ring and the glass of water return to the “first” participant.
Anyone who drops a ring or spills water receives a forfeit.

Competition No. 6 “Find something in common”

Players are divided into teams.
The presenter shows three pictures that have something in common.
To motivate and cheer up the teams, the condition may be as follows: the team that did not guess the answer drinks penalty glasses.
For example, one picture shows a jacuzzi, the second shows the Eiffel Tower, and the third shows the periodic table. What unites them is the surname, because each image is an object named after its creator.

Competition No. 7 “Hat for the birthday boy”

In a deep hat you need to put a lot of folded pieces of paper with laudatory descriptions of the birthday boy (birthday girl), For example:
- smart (smart),
- beautiful (handsome),
- slender (slender),
- talented (talented)
- economic (economic), and so on.
Guests are divided into pairs. One partner takes out a piece of paper, reads the word to himself and explains to his partner using gestures what it means.
If the answer is not found, you can suggest one in words, but not by naming the word itself, but by describing its essence.
The team that gets the most correct answers wins.
You don't have to split into pairs. One person takes out a piece of paper and gestures at the word, while the others guess.
For each correct answer the player receives one point.
The player with the most points wins.

Competition No. 8 “Getting to the bottom of the truth”

An object, for example a carrot, needs to be wrapped in several layers of foil.
Each layer is accompanied by a riddle or task.
If the guest guesses the correct answer or completes the task, he expands the first layer. If not, he passes the baton to his neighbor and receives a forfeit.
The one who removes the last layer wins a prize.

Competition No. 9 “Gossip Girl”

This funny competition is more suitable for a small company, because headphones will be needed for all participants. Or several volunteers may participate and others will observe the process.
Players put on headphones and listen to music loudly so that no extraneous sounds can be heard.
Only the one who says the first phrase remains without headphones. This must be some kind of secret about the birthday girl (birthday boy).
He says it loudly, but in such a way that it is impossible to hear all the words clearly.
The second player passes on the phrase he supposedly heard to the third, the third to the fourth, and so on.
Guests who have already shared “gossip about the birthday girl” can take off their headphones and observe what other participants end up sharing.
The last player voices the phrase he heard, and the first player says the original.

Competition No. 10 “Second Half”

Guests will have to use all their acting skills.
Each player chooses a piece of paper on which is written the role that he will play.
The roles are paired: the goal is to find your partner as quickly as possible.
For example, Romeo and Juliet: Juliet can sing the text: “I’m standing on the balcony and waiting for my love” and so on.

Competition No. 11 “Common Efforts”

The presenter suggests writing a fairy tale about the birthday girl (birthday boy).
Everyone comes up with their own plot, but each player will write only one sentence on a common sheet.
The fairy tale begins with the sentence “One fine day (name) was born.”
The sheet is passed around in a circle.
The first person writes a continuation based on the first sentence.
The second person reads the first person's sentence, adds his own, and folds the piece of paper so that the third guest can only see the sentence that the person in front of him wrote.
In this way, the fairy tale is written until the piece of paper returns to the guest who first started writing it.
Together, we will get a very funny story about the hero of the occasion, which is then read out loud.

Competition No. 12 “Honest answer”

You need to prepare cards with questions and answers.
One guest takes a card from the deck with questions, and the one to whom the question is addressed - from the deck of answers.

Competition No. 14 “Inarticulate Hamster”

All guests fill their mouths with marshmallows.
The first participant reads the phrase that is written on the sheet, but does not show it to the others.
He says it to his neighbor, but due to his full mouth, the words will be very illegible.
A phrase is a task that the one who ends up last will have to complete, for example, “You must dance the lezginka.”
The participant will have to perform the action that he heard.

Competition No. 15 “Top Secret”

Competition No. 16 “Sobriety test”

A game for a large company.
The first team is on one side of the table, the second team is on the other.

The winner is the team that quickly transfers all the objects from one end of the table to the other in this way.

Competition No. 17 “Musical crocodile”

The first contestant takes out a piece of paper on which the name of the song and, possibly, the lyrics are written.
The task is to explain to others what song it is.
You can't explain it with words from the song itself.
For example, “When the apple trees bloom...” you cannot say “The apple trees bloomed in the garden.” You can say “In one place there is a tree, fruits appear on it” and something like that.

Competition No. 18 “Find your match”

To play the game you need to prepare cards with the names of various animals. There are two cards for each animal.
Participants pull out cards and then show each other their animal (meowing, crowing, etc.).
The game will be over only after all the pairs have been found.

Competition No. 19 “Russian Roulette”

We need to prepare glasses of weak alcohol for everyone.
Their number is equal to the number of players.
A toast is made “To the birthday boy”, everyone chooses a glass and drinks.
In one of the glasses, alcohol will be diluted with sugar.
The one who gets it is eliminated from the game.
So, in the end, there will be only one winner (he's pretty drunk).

Competition No. 20 “Clear without words”

You need to prepare funny stills from films in advance.
Guests watch a frame from a famous film, listen to the beginning of the phrase, and the rest is silent.
We need to continue the sentence. The one who correctly quotes the remaining fragment receives one point.
Here it is important to select frames from famous films.
The person with the most points wins.
Those who cannot continue the phrase will receive forfeits.

Competition No. 21 “Songs in reverse”

To play this game you need to download a special application that plays songs in reverse.
Guests can split into teams or participate for themselves.
The one who guesses the most songs wins.

Competition No. 22 “Remember the song”

Before the game starts, all participants chip in a certain amount of money.
The presenter calls out one word and the participants must remember the songs where this word is mentioned.
The one who performed an excerpt from the song will take the money for himself.
As soon as the second participant offers another option, the money goes to him.
So, the player takes all the winnings for himself if his option seems to be the last.

Competition No. 23 “Pilots and Sailors”

You need to come up with a nice prize for the winners in advance.
Each player is given a piece of paper and the right to choose whose team he would like to be on: pilots or sailors.

Hats, gloves, scarves, as well as bras, panties, T-shirts, leggings, swimsuits and pajamas. Socks on hands, panties on head. You can create very extravagant images.

Competition No. 26 Portrait of the birthday boy

Divide into teams to collectively create a portrait of the birthday boy: one participant draws the nose, the other the eyes, etc. The picture that is recognized as the best by a strict jury wins.
You can change the course of the game and agree that one of the guests will be drawn. The picture that is closer to the original, i.e., from which it will be possible to guess the guest who is depicted in it, will win.

Competition No. 27 “Let’s sing, friends!”

In this simple but fun competition, two participants will have to sing the same song, with the condition that the first one starts the song a few seconds earlier than the second one. The winner is the one who sings the longest without losing a beat.

Our competitions are designed for the most modest costs, both financial and organizational. If you take into account the age of the guests and their preferences, competitions can be very funny and mischievous.
This birthday celebration is sure to be remembered for a long time!
We wish you a noisy, cheerful feast!

Today is an unusual selection of ideas for a children's party. No, not like that... Everything is as always, but the reason for writing the article was this letter from my reader:

“Dear Irina, I read a lot of interesting ideas on your website. Thank you very much for them. But I just can’t build a small scenario in my head for celebrating my daughter’s 3rd birthday. What would you suggest? There are supposed to be a lot of guests and they don’t know each other - children 2.5-5 years old (there will probably be at least 10 kids) with their parents. I want adults to participate too.”

Now there will be competitions for VERY young children. But on this site it is possible in the description of entertainment in.

A difficult task, but the situation is quite common, don’t you agree? It will be especially difficult to cope with children whose age difference is more than 2 years. I decided to involve adults in almost all competitions so that the kids don’t get lost among the lively five-year-olds.

I’ll say right away that it’s difficult to do without simple props, so mom will need to carefully prepare for the tasks and prepare everything she needs. I usually create packages containing everything needed for competitions.

Congratulations to the birthday girl

So that Anya herself and all the guests understand who is in charge here today :-), we turn on beautiful music, connect in pairs - child with child, adult with adult. Have them face each other, hold hands and raise their arms up to create a tunnel. The birthday girl passes through this arch to the loud and simultaneous “Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!”

You can simply put the girl in the center of the circle, clap and sing along to “Barbarikas”: “And I, and I, and I congratulate you.”

The Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood

You need two ropes of the same length, 5 meters each (buy a skein right away, it will be useful for various competitions). We give segments to two adult participants in the competition. Draw a straight line and secure one end of the rope with a stone. Moms or dads must pave the way from this line to the “grandmother’s house,” but not in a straight line, but in turns. Along one rope, like a tightrope, Little Red Riding Hood walks with pies, along the other - a wolf. Who will complete the winding path faster? You can take a natural grandmother in a group. Can be repeated several times.

In the footsteps of the tiger

The difficulty is that each team is given only two cardboards, cut out in the form of predator tracks. You need to cover a distance (3-4 meters), completely transferring your weight to one leg, while the second team member rearranges the cardboard for the next step. In our case, the children will follow the tracks, and the parents will have to handle the cardboard boxes.

Let's shoot a video!

This is not a competition, but specifically the shooting of a memorable video for Anya to the song from the cartoon “The Big Wash” about Masha and the Bear. I have the song itself in the music selection that I wrote about above. You will also need soap bubbles (store 2 jars).

We line up the guests like this: kids in one line in front, adults in the back. Moms or dads, who stand at the edges, stand sideways to the camera and blow soap bubbles towards each other while the shooting is in progress.

For the first half of the verse we show kittens, for the second - piglets. During the chorus (first line), children make movements with their hands, as if they are washing themselves, and during the second line, adults depict a smiling sun.

During the second verse, all adults and children stand in a circle and join hands (except for those who blow soap bubbles at all the guests). Now it's time to have fun getting confused. Remember the game "Confusion"? You can't unclasp your hands. Just crawl into “arches”, step over crouched people, twist over your arm, and so on. There is no need to unravel all this, there will simply be a cheerful “heap and a small” accompanied by a cheerful song. I give the words:

Not a single cat in the world
The milk will not touch
If you haven't washed it first
Neat muzzle.

Mom teaches how to wash hooves
Naughty piglets -
Here they go to the trough,
Their little spots are shining.

Chorus:
If children wash themselves in the morning,

If children wash themselves in the morning,
The sun smiles brighter in the sky.

You also need to know, of course,
That those who often get sick are
Who lives in dirt and dust,
Who forgot about cleanliness?

You and I are still people,
It's not for nothing that they say so,
Are we really going to be
Will we be worse than piglets?!

Chorus:
If children wash themselves in the morning,
The sun smiles brighter in the sky.
If children wash themselves in the morning,
The sun smiles brighter in the sky.

Soap bubbles show

In order not to remove the soap bubbles too far, we are immediately holding a competition for the largest bubble. If there is no wind, everything will turn out quite recklessly.

Jam is being made

A cheerful orchestra using rattling and rustling objects is always fun at a children's party, so if you find lids, spoons and jars with pennies, you can not deviate from traditions.

Here's another option: we give all children disposable cups with a small amount of water (2 cm) and cocktail straws. We choose the Car song again (look at my musical selection “About Jam”) and ask the children not to drink the water, but to release air through a tube into the water so that it gurgles. The jam is boiling and bubbling!

Parents do not participate, they just smile on the sidelines.

You can also arrange a regular noise orchestra.

Limbo

Latin American fun, which is equally fun at both children's and adult parties. You need a rope that adults will hold at both ends. Energetic music. One by one, all guests pass under a rope stretched at the ear level of the tallest participant. Then we lower it by 20 cm. Again everyone passes, dancing. Lower. And further.

Considering that we are having a joint celebration of children and adults, the smallest two-year-old dancers will remain at the end. Don't forget to film!

Shish kebab from sushi

Only children participate. 2 children compete at the same time. We place a plate with 10 dryers in front of each one and give them a stick in their hand. Who will put all the dryers on the “skewer” faster? You need to take one at a time.

Kindergarten for kangaroos

Any soft toy can be a kangaroo. Or a ball. Or even a small plastic bottle of water. Two children start by jumping and trying to get to the “kangaroo nursery” and leave a toy there. Distance - no more than 3 meters. They also return to the starting line by jumping. They are replaced by adults who must pick up the little ones from the kindergarten. Also, of course, jumping to the goal and back. Whose couple will do it faster?

Left hand drive!

The game is played in two stages. We build obstacles from packages, bags, toys, bottles along the “track”. We give two children each a steering wheel (for me these are plastic or cardboard plates), they have to go around the obstacles and return. The children love it, they choose new “detour routes” with appropriate sounds. Adults simply admire this picture.

Now we invite two adults. We blindfold them very tightly and ask them to overcome a course with obstacles. While you are unwinding them in place, someone must remove all the items. When moms and dads hit the road, we give them comic commands: “Drive to the left!”, “Move to the right!” Detour!”, and so on.

Who gets the prize?

Even the little ones can do this, but it’s also exciting for adults. We tie two boxes (can be replaced with bundles or just opaque bags) with a rope. We unwind 2-3 meters (naturally, both participants should have the same length), tie the second end to a pencil or stick.

For this exciting game, you need to write various tasks for the guests on pieces of paper that look like exam papers. Those who wish draw a ticket and depict the given situation. Fun guaranteed.
Task options: Depict
1. A child whose toy was taken away.
2.A person who is photographed on the cover of a magazine.
3. Child on the beach.
4.Model on the catwalk.
5.A person who is late for the train.
6.Dad under the windows of the maternity hospital.

"Chain"

This will amuse any participants, both children and adults. You can make a competition and two teams, you can just arrange a fun game. So, all participants receive small pieces of paper, each writes two words on a piece of paper: any two parts of the body. Any. For example, “ear-nose”, “eye-hand”... When adults play, you can write EVERYTHING (I emphasize)); Then all the sheets are collected in a hat or bag.
Next, the presenter takes out pieces of paper one by one for each specific player and reads it out loud. The task for the participants: line up in a chain, touching each other with the designated parts of the body and stand. At least a little bit.

If there are two teams, then they can exchange tasks and compete with each other to see who can build the chain faster and stay in this position longer.

Congratulations: 46 in verse (12 short)

Are you looking for how to organize funny competitions at a birthday party so that they are interesting and enjoyable for both children and adults? This collection should help!

Child's birthday party for adults

Birthdays are always valuable for children for their unique atmosphere of fun, friendly warmth and easy permissiveness on the part of adults. For the latter, arrange a holiday - labor-intensive task, requiring material and physical investments. It is the parents who prepare the celebration program, festive menu and room decoration for the birthday boy and his little guests.

In this fuss, they forget about another category of guests - parents of these same kids who will bring them to the holiday and will probably stay until it ends. As a standard, adults watch the children from the table, chatting on social topics with other parents and tasting dishes carefully prepared by the hosts of the evening. Such a pastime cannot be called particularly interesting, but There are entertainments that can unite all adults and establish a closer connection between them and children.

Holiday program for children

And yet, first it’s worth developing a holiday script for the birthday boy himself. In the case of small children under 7 years old, entertainment such as searching for “treasures” or solving a case is suitable about the “missing” birthday cake. You can come up with a huge number of ideas for such scenarios, and you don’t even have to order animators or spend money on props.

For example, in a missing birthday cake scenario, all you have to do is prepare the box in which this cake is supposed to lie, a note from the “kidnapper” and the toy thief himself. The treat can be “stealed” by a doll, a child’s favorite robot, or even a real character that one of the parents will dress up as. It is imperative that things be arranged in such a way that the children carried out the tasks of this “thief”, while having fun in competitions.

When inviting an animator or dressing up as a character yourself, find out from the children who they are interested in. For the effect of interacting with a character to be positive, it must be recognizable and loved by children.

In the end, the kids, of course, will receive a long-awaited treat and a sea of positive emotions from past competitions, being pretty tired and giving their parents a rest. Adults themselves can also participate in the production, playing other characters or simply helping the children pass the “cake thief” tests. This will help unite parents and their children, for which adults will later tell you too Thanks a lot.

Possible ideas for competitions for children

Besides the main scenario a children's birthday party must necessarily consist of competitions that are interesting to children. They may be quite budget-friendly, but they will still bring a lot of joy to the kids. Some entertainment ideas that will suit children from 2 to 10 years old.

Crazy egg

The point of the game is to Transfer the colored egg in a teaspoon from one plate to another. For the competition you will need to buy plastic plates, boil and color two dozen eggs, prepare teaspoons and place two pairs of stools on opposite sides of the room. Two teams of kids will have to temporarily move all the eggs without dropping any, and The team with the most eggs at the end of the competition wins.

Help me collect leaves

Some character, perhaps the birthday boy's favorite toy, asks the kids to collect for her all the leaves scattered on the floor. She will give a sweet prize for special leaves; they will be marked with a special icon on the back. To play you will have to cut a few dozen leaves from thick colored paper and put a special symbol on some of them.

This idea can be made more useful and educational for kids if you write letters on the back of all the leaves and ask them to find, for example, only vowels. For musical children, you can draw notes.

Mr Frankenstein

Don't let this name scare you, the essence of the game is harmless: Children will take turns with their eyes closed and try to attach a part of the character's body to his image on the poster. The character can be absolutely anyone, and you will need to make several body parts– nose, ears, mouth and so on. It is better to do the drawing on whatman paper so that it is convenient for the child to attach another piece of paper with plasticine or a button.

Wind, wind, you are mighty

In this game the guys must move your ball from one part of the room to another faster than others, but this can only be done by blowing on the ball. The competition area should be clean and spacious enough for kids to roll around on the floor and blow on their balloons. All you need to do to play is to prepare a dozen fairly dense balls, leaving some in reserve, and the reward “For the Mighty Breath.”

Book antonyms

This competition will be able to “kill” three “birds with one stone” at once: help in the development of the thinking process in children, increase interest in books and cheer them up at the holiday. The essence of the game is for the presenter to pronounce the name of a book or fairy tale, but using only antonyms. The following options are available in the game:

Green hat - Red riding hood.
Castle - Teremok.
Blacksand minus the seven giants- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Kilometer - Thumbelina.
Ugly and cute animal- The beauty and the Beast.
Cold-fish - Firebird.

Of course, in addition to book works, you can choose any others, the main thing is that they are interesting to your children. To be sure of this, ask the parents of the children invited to the evening in advance what they are interested in.

A gift for everyone

If financial possibilities allow, you can arrange a surprise for each guest of the evening, giving him a small gift. To do this, you need to blindfold all the children, spin them around and give them the opportunity to pull a gift for themselves from the ribbon that was hung in advance. Gifts can be keychains, stickers, pens and small toys.

Little wizards

This competition is quite similar to forfeits, because each participant in the game writes a wish in advance, perhaps with the help of his parents, and puts it in a special box. Afterwards, the kids take turns pulling out pieces of paper with wishes and fulfilling them: they dance, read a poem, hug everyone present, and so on. Children will especially like this game if parents also participate in it, because you can see them in an informal setting.

Decorations for the birthday boy

Not only sweets, but also pleasant speeches can please the hero of the occasion, which can be organized into one competition. To do this, you will have to prepare a small rope and a certain number of bagels for each child. The kids will take turns stringing the dryers and say something nice to the birthday boy, and the participant with the largest number of rings on the “beads” wins.

Be sure to give your children a rest between competitions so that they don’t get capricious and have time to participate in each one. Try to arrange the competitions from the most active to the calmest, inserting a tea party between them. At the end of the evening, be sure to treat each child to a piece of birthday cake.

Guessing the classics

Children these days watch and read a significant number of works, and some of them are considered classics. Invite the kids to play guessing phrases from popular cartoons, songs, books and films that have already become classics. Options may include:

What do you want, old man?- a fairy tale about the Golden Fish.
I'll sing now!– cartoon “Once upon a time there was a dog.”
Hakuna Matata- cartoon "The Lion King".
The talking bird is smart and quick-witted- cartoon “The Secret of the Third Planet”.
Smile and wave…- cartoon "Madagascar".
You are forever responsible for everyone you tamed- fairy tale “The Little Prince”.

It is better to look for ideas for the game on the Internet, after consulting with the parents of the kids about their favorite works. To find a popular phrase from a movie or song, just enter in the search engine “Phrases and quotes from Title_of the Work”, replacing the phrase in bold with your source.

Holiday program for adults

Surely you would also like to spend your baby’s holiday fun and relaxed, like in childhood, and this can be arranged with the help adult competitions and entertainment. Although parents must monitor their child, they have the right to relax and have fun by receiving their own separate holiday program. It will not be possible to hold games during children's competitions, but While the children are relaxing, the adults can have fun.

At the same time, while children are playing with the animator, you can invite adults, especially if they are family friends or relatives, to watch the video. It’s not at all difficult to edit a clip from photographs and video clips to children’s music, taking into account current technologies. You can either download a special program to your computer and take advantage of the editing lessons, or outsource this work to a special agency.

Clip from photos

You can edit a video for a boy’s birthday yourself

Such videos will be of particular interest to close relatives, especially if they find themselves in the footage.

In general, competitions for children and their parents can be safely alternate one after another, giving each group the opportunity to relax and refresh themselves at the festive table. It will be especially convenient if there are prepared two separate tables, and the birthday boy’s mom and dad will pay attention to their table. If one of your couple is not ready to play with the children in the evening, they can take turns.

There will be interesting board games for parents and especially adult children - brothers and sisters of children. You can place a dedicated area for one or two board games so that those who wish can relax there.

Possible ideas for competitions for adults

Adults also love to participate in competitions, but children's competitions are not suitable for them. Therefore, for everyone over fifteen, it is worth preparing separate entertainment. It could be any of the following ideas.

Predictable Guest

While all the parents are sitting at the festive table, you can offer them speak out about the best qualities of the birthday boy, while playing this game with them. For this, you will have to prepare in advance a number of pieces of paper with the most popular options like “Kind” or “Talented” and write a wish on the back of each one. The person who says one of these qualities will have to fulfill the wish written on the piece of paper.

Grandma Wang

A rather unusual game can be called this one, where relatives try to guess How will the birthday boy grow up in the future?. To do this you need to prepare Whatman paper is about A3 in size and draw a table on it with the child’s age and the names of the guests. In the cells of their column, guests will write predictions regarding anything: height, character traits, hobbies, and more.

The table will look something like this:

Of course, there will be predictions in each cell, and if there are a lot of guests, then you should really choose big Whatman paper. After filling the table completely, roll up and pack the Whatman paper well, hiding it for several years. Give it to the birthday boy when he comes of age, so that he can periodically check it and note which of the prophecies came true correctly.

Remember all

If your company consists mainly of relatives, and many of them spent a lot of time with the hero of the occasion, this game is suitable for you. The essence of the competition is that participants tried to give as many correct answers as possible to questions about the birthday boy. To do this, you will have to prepare questions and answers in advance, which may include:

First word;
When the baby started walking;
Exact date of birth;
Favorite and least favorite dish;
Favorite toy;
All sections and clubs where the child goes.

There are plenty of ideas for questions, and it is important that you have exact answers. You can get a prize for winning the competition "For the closest person" with a photo of the baby and his words to the winner on the back.

Sweet Nothing

The Russian language is multifaceted and interesting, and adults know how to handle it, inventing really unusual words. People especially often like to come up with diminutive versions of names, which is what this competition will be based on. Participants need to say in a circle an affectionate version of the name of the hero of the occasion: Vanya, Vanyushka, Vanechka and so on.

The winner will be the one who can come up with his own version of the name last. As a gift, he can receive a drawn card from the birthday boy with warm words.

Clever Dad, Clever Mom

It will be extremely interesting for children to watch how their parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles trying to complete funny tasks, so this competition is simply necessary at a children's party. Its execution is simple:

Buy and inflate enough dense balloons in advance so that there are plenty of them for everyone involved.
Scatter the balls all over the floor. You can draw mocking faces on them or encouraging phrases like “You can do it!”
Give the command for the adults to start collecting the balls. Their task is to keep as many balls in their hands as possible using any available means.
On purpose, do not end the competition too quickly so that adults can compete, trying to keep the balls from themselves and knock down others.

The winner who holds the most balls will give a notebook or postcard.

One person

If you are young parents, you can try find your baby photos, as well as photos of nephews and, of course, children. If the quality of the photographs is not too different, it will be difficult to guess who is depicted in the portrait. A game like this can be a good way to attract adults during children’s competitions.

If necessary, you can deliberately “age” recent photographs of children using graphic editors or third-party services. There you can remove the clarity of the photo, change its color and add “noise”.

We fall into childhood

Every parent has probably experienced an incredible feeling of irritation when a baby spits out a freshly washed and scalded pacifier. Now adults can feel like kids spitting nipples as far as possible and marking your length with chopsticks. To do this, you will have to purchase pacifiers in advance, not forgetting them sterilize every time before putting it in your mouth.

Unlike children, adults are not always willing to have fun with ridiculous tasks, so try not to be too intrusive. Accept that some guests may feel uneasy or simply out of sorts by allowing them to enjoy a delicious meal in peace. As the hosts of the evening, you must be courteous and attentive to each person invited, allowing him to relax in a relaxed atmosphere.

Possible ideas for joint competitions for children and adults

Unlike many previous ones, these competitions are aimed at spending time together between adults and children. Such games bring people closer together and are the “cherry” of every children’s holiday, because adults have long wanted to relax, and children are interested in seeing their parents in an unusual role. Such games are worth diluting children's and adult tasks.

My mighty dad

Many children are proud of how strong and agile their dads are, and this competition will help to emerge as a better father, bringing a lot of laughter to mothers. Dads should put the child on your back and crawl, jump and jump on all fours from one end of the room to the other. The winner is the one who carries his baby first without dropping him (because then he will receive from his mother).

Cacophony

If you want to defuse the holiday atmosphere and have the opportunity to make a lot of noise, collect a set of improvised "musical instruments" and give one to each guest. The list of such tools includes:

Iron pans;
Metal lids from frying pans;
Tin cans containing change;
Glass glasses combined with chopsticks;
Cabinet doors;
Not very thick tabletops that can sound like a drum.

The list can be continued for a long time, including real instruments, if you have them at home. They'll do for the job toy drums, whistles and children's xylophones, that sound unprofessional. The essence of the task is simple: create your own orchestra or play along to a famous song as best you can.

This game will allow you to throw out tension, completely relax and lift even the most depressing mood.
