Holiday games for children and adults. Funny and funny birthday contests for a fun company

NONSENSE
Two players, secretly from other players, agree on a topic on which they will communicate non-verbally. They start a conversation. Eyewitnesses, having guessed what is at stake, are connected to the conversation. When everyone is involved in the game, they begin to find out the subject of communication from the last person who connected - who understood the topic of the conversation and what information he transmitted himself.

WALKED ON THE STREET
All players are assigned numbers. No. 1 starts: “Walking down the street 4 crocodile”, No. 4 answers: “Why 4?, No. 1: “How much?”, No. 4: “A 8”. ", No. 4: "How much?", No. 8: "A 5!"

GROUPED BANANA
Children sit in a circle. Everyone has something hidden under their shirt. One of the children is trying to guess by touch what is there. The game becomes more interesting if the rule applies: do not immediately name the guessed objects, but feel everything that is hidden and only then name what is hidden from someone.
played out.

BEARD .
Representatives from the teams or their captains are called. The facilitator invites them in turn to start telling the first line of the joke. If one of those present in the hall can continue the joke, a "beard" is attached to the player. Whoever has the fewest wins.

GOOD MOOD.
Starting from the neighbor, on the right, we say a compliment along the chain, always with a smile, and especially cheerful ones can make attractive faces.

GAMES FOR REVEALING THE LEADER.
To do this, the guys are divided into two or three teams equal in number of participants. Each team chooses a name for itself. The leader offers conditions: "Now the commands will be executed after I command" Start! "The team that completes the task faster and more accurately will be considered the winner." In this way, you will create a spirit of competition, which is very important for the guys.
So, the first task. Now each team should say a single word in unison. "Begin!"
In order to complete this task, it is necessary for all team members to agree somehow. It is these functions that a person striving for leadership takes on.
Second task. Here it is necessary that half the team quickly get up without agreeing on anything. "Begin!"
Third task. Now all the teams are flying in a spaceship to Mars, but in order to fly, we need to organize the crews as quickly as possible. The crew includes: captain, navigator, passengers and "hare". So who's faster?!
Usually, the leader takes over the functions of the organizer, but the distribution of roles often occurs in such a way that the leader chooses the role of a "hare" for himself. This can be explained by his desire to transfer the responsibility of the commander to the shoulders of someone else.
Task four. We flew to Mars and we need to somehow accommodate in a Martian hotel, and there is only a triple room, two double rooms and one single room. You need to distribute as quickly as possible who will live in which room. "Begin!"
After playing this game, you can see the presence and composition of microgroups in your team. Single rooms usually go to either hidden, unidentified leaders or "outcasts".
The proposed number of rooms and rooms in them is made for a team consisting of 8 participants. If there are more or fewer participants in the team, then make up the number of rooms and rooms yourself, but with the condition that there are triples, doubles and one single.

CLOWN.
To conduct this game, you need to split into 2-3 teams and prepare 2-3 boxes of matches. More precisely, not the whole box is needed, but only its upper part. The inner, retractable part, together with the matches, can be set aside.
In order to start the game, all teams line up in a column, the first person puts the box on his nose. The essence of the game is to pass this box from nose to nose as quickly as possible to all members of your team, while hands should be behind your back. If someone's boxes fell, the team starts the procedure again.
Accordingly, the winning team is the one that completes the transmission of the box faster.
There will be no lack of laughter in this game!

APPLE.
This game again involves the transfer of an item by two or more teams. This object will be an apple, and you will need to hold it, holding it between your chin and neck. Hands behind your back, so ... Let's start!
If you don't have an apple on hand, you might as well use an orange or a tennis ball.

SANDAL.
For this game, you need to organize at least three teams. Teams line up in columns located on the same line, having previously taken off their shoes. After the teams line up, the counselor collects all the children's shoes, dumps them in a pile and mixes them up. The leaders are given instructions: "This is a small fun relay race. Now, in turn, each of the participants must run up to this pile, put on their shoes and run to their team in shoes, passing the baton to the next one. Those who know how to put on shoes quickly win!"

TOUCAN.
Toucan is a fish that fishermen often dry by stringing on long ropes. Now we, like a toucan, will "string" on a long, about 15 m long rope, at one end of which a pine cone is tied. All members of the team must pass this bump through all the clothes from top to bottom, passing the bump to each other in turn. Naturally, the winning team is the one whose last member is the first of all the teams to pull out a pine cone with fifteen meters of rope tied to it from a trouser leg.

SNOWBALL.
This game is best played on the "light of acquaintance", when the guys are sitting in a large close circle. The leader must start the game by saying his name. The one sitting to his left should call the name of the leader and his own. The next one further clockwise will have to name the two previous names, his own, and so on in a circle. Again, the counselor should finish, calling the whole detachment by name. The task is difficult, but real and feasible. Try it - success is guaranteed.

MATHS.
Children sit in a circle. The counselor gives the task: "Let's start counting in a circle. The one who has a number that is a multiple of three says his name instead of a number."
This game can be used to develop memory and attention. Play around and you will see that this is true.

ROPE.
To play this game, take a rope and tie its ends so that a ring is formed. (The length of the rope depends on the number of children participating in the game.)
The guys stand in a circle and take the rope with both hands, which is inside the circle. Assignment: "Now everyone needs to close their eyes and, without opening their eyes, without letting go of the rope, build a triangle." First, there is a pause and complete inactivity of the guys, then one of the participants offers some kind of solution: for example, to pay off and then build a triangle by serial numbers, and then directs the actions.

CARABAS.
The next similar game will be the game "Karabas". To conduct the game, children are seated in a circle, a counselor sits with them, who offers the conditions for the game: “Guys, you all know the tale of Pinocchio and remember the bearded Karabas-Barabas, who had a theater. Now you are all dolls. I will say the word "KA-RA-BAS" and I will show a certain number of fingers on outstretched hands. And you will have to, without agreeing, get up from the chairs, and as many people as I show my fingers. This game develops attention and speed of reaction. "
This game test requires the participation of two counselors. The task of one is to conduct the game, the second is to carefully observe the behavior of the guys.
Most often, more sociable, striving for leadership guys get up. Those who get up later, at the end of the game, are less determined. There are those who first get up and then sit down. They make up the "happy" group. The group of the detachment that does not stand up at all is non-initiative.
It is recommended to repeat the game 4-5 times.
The practice of this game shows that usually these functions are taken over by the leaders.
The game can be continued, complicating the task, and invite the guys to build a square, a star, a hexagon.

LARGE FAMILY PHOTO.
This game is best played during the organizing period to identify the leader, as well as in the middle of the shift, and used as visual material in your team.
It is proposed that the guys imagine that they are all a big family and everyone needs to take a picture together for family album. You must select a "photographer". He should arrange the whole family for photographing. The "grandfather" is chosen first from the family; he can also participate in the arrangement of the members of the "family". No more settings are given for children, they must decide for themselves who to be and where to stand. And you wait and watch this entertaining picture. The role of "photographer" and "grandfather" is usually taken by guys striving for leadership. But, however, elements of leadership and other "family members" are not excluded. It will be very interesting for you to observe the distribution of roles, activity-passivity in choosing a location.
This game, played in the middle of the shift, can open up new leaders for you and reveal the like-dislike system in groups. After the distribution of roles and arrangement of "family members", the "photographer" counts up to three. On the count of "three!" everyone together and very loudly shout "cheese" and make a simultaneous clap of their hands.

RELAY IN THE BUS.
Pass a cardboard with a pencil down each row, and each participant must write a four to five letter word on the cardboard thrown down his row. The calculation takes into account the number of letters and time.

WHAT I SAW.
This game is about attention. In it, the guys must count the number of illogical judgments in the poem that the counselor will read:
I saw a lake on fire
A dog in trousers on a horse
On the house a hat instead of a roof,
Cats that are caught by mice.
I saw a duck and a fox
That a plow plows a meadow in the forest,
Like a teddy bear measured shoes
And like a fool he believed everything.
(S.Ya. Marshak)

Or:
Because of the forest, because of the mountains
Grandpa Yegor was driving.
He is piebald on a cart,
On an oak horse
He is girded with a club,
Leaning on the sash
Boots for stirrup,
Jacket on bare feet.

Or:
The village was passing by a peasant,
And from under the dog the gate barks,
The horse grabbed the whip
Whipping a man
black cow
He leads the girl by the horns.
(K.S. Stanislavsky)

CHRYCHALKA "PETKI - VASKI".
The counselor plays the role of a leader, and the guys are divided into two teams: one - "Petka", the other - "Vaska". Further, all together on the motive of "Smuglyanka":
On a sunny meadow
There is a green house.
And on the porch of the house
A cheerful gnome is sitting.
Further, the counselor shouts: "What is your name, gnome?" and points to one of the teams, which answers with a tongue twister as loudly as possible.
"Pets":
Pe-e-tka! I have a shirt in glue-e-tku!
I came to you, de-e-tki,
To eat candy-e-tku!
"Vaska":
Wow! I have pants in the go-o-shku!
I came from a fairy tale
Because I'm good!
All this is carried out several times, the counselor points to one or the other team, and at the end of the game - to both teams at once, and one of them must shout over the other.

CHRYCHALKA "ABROAD".
These chants have a large number of options. Their peculiarity is that they mean absolutely nothing and thus like children.
"Ricesiki"
It's very simple: the children repeat after the leader who sings:
OOO!
Calabamba la-oh!
Osiki-risrsiki-risosiki-risbamba!
Oh, I eat bananas!
"Balami"
After each line sung by the counselor, the children shout: "Hey!".
Bala-bala-mi - hey!
Chika-chika-chi - hey!
Chi-hey!
Chi-hey!
Chick-chirp-chick-hey!
Together with the guys, you can come up with your own squad chant, under which, for example, you will get together.

NAME YOU.
Everyone stands in a circle with their arms outstretched in front of them. The starter of the game throws the ball through the center of the circle to one of the participants and at the same time calls his name. After the throw, he lowers his arms. After the ball goes around everyone, and everyone lowers their hands, the game begins in the second round. Each of the participants throws the ball to the person to whom he threw it for the first time, and again calls his name.
The third round of this game is somewhat modified. Again, everyone stands in a circle with outstretched arms, but now the participant who threw the ball must say his name, the one who caught the ball does the same, etc.
After conducting this game (it takes 10-15 minutes to conduct it), it is quite possible to remember up to 20 names.

Which team will sing them the most, that one will be the winner! But the main thing is that the song should contain words about the sea, sailors, sea ships." This game is very variable and its conditions depend on your imagination. These may be songs about Moscow, there may be songs in which there are numbers: "a million, a million, a million scarlet roses"; "... the girl from apartment 45"; "... once a word, two words ..."
More difficult option This game will be a question-and-answer game, where the team takes turns taking a question from one song and an answer from another.

Those who do not have enough houses are eliminated from the game, and then they change with children - "houses".

"SPAROW, CHIP!"
One child sits on a chair, with his back to the children. The presenter chooses a "sparrow", who comes up behind the sitting one, puts his hands on his shoulders. He says: "Sparrow, chirp!" "Sparrow" chirps: "Chick-tweet!" The person sitting guesses who it is.

5-6 players are called and the same number of chairs are placed.

These cards are pinned on the back. Everyone does not know what number is written on his back, but he can see the card of the person in front. At the signal, the teams must line up so that the numbers on their cards are in order. So here we go! Whose team will complete this task faster?!

Since childhood, we are taught that animals are kind and funny. But they are insidious. Dogs bite, cats scratch, birds peck, horses neigh, camels spit. Who can correctly accuse them of deceit? Draw animals in all their glory:

As you sing, the words are replaced by the word - La-la-la and hand movements.

Teapot with lid.
Lid with a knob.
Bump with hole...
There is steam in the hole.

The steam goes into the hole.
Hole in the stump...
The knob in the lid...
Lid with teapot.

Tongue Twisters.

The host invites the players to measure their strength in tongue twisters, he distributes cards to everyone, on which one tongue twister is printed. Then calls the competitors.

First, each of the players slowly and loudly reads the words of the text so that its meaning is clear to everyone, after which, at the command of the host, he pronounces a tongue twister at a fast pace.

The winner is the one who did not blurt out the words and did not make a single mistake.

Tongue Twisters:

Barbara, who had become sympathetic, felt sympathy for the unsympathetic Vavila.

The bull is stupid, stupid bull, the bull's white lip was stupid.

From the clatter of hooves, dust flies across the field.

Senka is carrying Sanka and Sonya on a sled. Sledge lope - Senka from his feet, Sanka to the side, Sonya to the forehead, all in a snowdrift.

Sixteen mice walked and six found pennies, and the smaller mice noisily rummage around for pennies.

On Thursday the fourth at four and a quarter o'clock four black, curly-haired imps drew a drawing in black ink. Extremely clean.

Malanya chattered milk, blurted it out, but did not blurt it out.

The commander spoke about the colonel, about the colonel, about the lieutenant colonel, about the lieutenant colonel, about the lieutenant, but he did not say anything about the lieutenant, but said that look for a mustache on a goose - do not look - you will not find that the scales are on the pike, the bristles on the ingot, which is near the stake of the bell that the wasp does not have a mustache, but antennae.

Not the one, comrades, a comrade who is a comrade with comrades, but the one, comrades, a comrade who is a comrade without comrades.

The tongue twister spoke quickly, uttered that he would re-speak all tongue twisters, re-speak, but, having begun to speak quickly, he said that you could not re-speak all tongue twisters, you would not over-speak all tongue twisters.

Take care of the eggs!

A prerequisite for the game is a noisy, cheerful company of the appropriate age.
Only men take part - 4 or 8 people.
A plastic bag with two eggs is hung on the front of each belt so that it hangs between the legs, the players are divided into pairs (randomly or by lot, it is desirable that the players in pairs be of the same height).
Next, the players stand in front of each other, spread their legs and squat slightly.
Then everything is very simple, they fight with eggs, whose eggs are broken, he leaves.
This is how the semi-finals and finals are held.
The winner is the one with at least one egg left intact. Fanfare, prizes, guests (especially girls) roll on the floor with laughter.

In principle, most people know the difference between a children's holiday and an adult. Children's holiday is a funny elegant table, riddles and fabulous contests, and an adult is a traditional feast, karaoke or TV and in best case several near-erotic games. I do not propose to do the opposite - children are unlikely to appreciate TV and erotica, but serious uncles and aunts may well fall into childhood.

Children's holiday - for adults. How we celebrated my daughter's birthday

For the first time, the idea of ​​making a children's holiday for adults came to me when Stella Elizabeth was one year old. We have already understood that we will have to celebrate in two stages - for the child himself and for the guests, whom, by the way, the child did not tolerate very well at that time. There were a lot of guests - firstly, relatives (starting from grandmother and ending with a second cousin), secondly, friends (starting from classmates) and their spouses, and thirdly, friends whom they met on the site about kids during pregnancy. And, to be honest, they somehow accepted my strange idea without much enthusiasm - it’s good that I didn’t consult with everyone, otherwise I wouldn’t have decided.

Supported by her husband, a cheerful person and a child in the shower, thank you very much.

First of all, we read all the possible scenarios for children's holidays on the Internet and realized that we need to start with decorating the room and table. We didn’t suffer for a long time with the room - in mid-December, you can already safely dress up Christmas trees (and we had 5 of them - from the largest under the ceiling to a tiny desktop with backlight), hang garlands and traditional newspapers on the walls.

Numerous American films came up with the idea of ​​the table - a bright tablecloth and napkins with bears, disposable elegant tableware with butterflies and hearts (boys and girls have different plates), multi-colored cocktail straws, and most importantly - caps, masks, tubes, tweeters and horns near each plate !

Most of all, I was worried about the guests - what if they did not perceive this whole colorful table at all (it was quite traditional in terms of dishes), but everything went surprisingly smoothly. The guests quickly put on masks of dogs, cats and bunnies, laughingly dismantled squeakers and horns and rushed enthusiastically to try their possibilities.

It was then that it turned out that, it turns out, many people were already interested in how all these things work, and one mother even quietly cleaned up the extra tweeters after her sons' birthday and tried it at her leisure.

Of course, an adult holiday is champagne, wine and traditional toasts. I myself, perhaps, would be offended if my friends did not raise their glasses to the health of my daughter and my maternal patience. But within children's holiday we managed to beat this moment with a wig, so there was no extra pathos - it's hard to be pathos when you're wearing a clown's attire. The wig quickly went from hand to hand, and for the first time it was possible to avoid embarrassment, hustle under the table and some vague tension when people understand that they ought to "make a speech", but are either embarrassed or simply do not know what else can be said new under the moon.

The fun quickly reached the stage where everyone wanted to dress up something else. First, the guests unanimously took up the Christmas trees, since they gave a wide scope for creativity, then they switched to cats. One of the cats was smarter and hid in advance, the other was caught and decorated by common efforts.

Unfortunately, for the first time, it is not possible to foresee much. For example, it didn’t occur to me to buy children’s gifts for all the guests - and large balls in the form of birds and animals were handed out only to those leaving who were waiting for the kids at home. On the next year I already guessed to buy key chains, figurines and plush toys to make a gift for everyone.

Games and competitions for adults at a children's holiday

By the way, traditional children's competitions are held among adults with a bang. It turns out that after 20 years people forget even the simplest riddles and fairy tales, I'm not talking about proverbs, sayings, so the most banal game "guess something" will be crowned with success. Of the outdoor games, the simplest ones were the best for us - "repeat after me", similar to exercises on TV, when the players repeat the movements of the leader, gradually accelerating the pace and ... "hide and seek".

By the way, ask someone not to participate, but to run after the players with a camera or a camera, you will get unforgettable experience. Have you ever seen a respectable mother of a family trying to get into a washing machine? Or how an adult man disguises himself in a closet with children's tights, squeezing into space several times narrower than his shoulders? If you haven’t seen it, then a game of hide and seek will give you such a chance. True, several guests at my place were very shy to play, but after a large bowl of mulled wine they decided.

"Great Artists" - another idea for a party

Those very traditional home wall newspapers, it turns out, are better to draw together. Several sheets of drawing paper, gouache, a set of brushes and a couple of old sheets - and within an hour your guests, wrapped in togas in the ancient Roman manner, enthusiastically create a masterpiece. Last year, I suggested doing this in the form of a competition - a team for a team. And since there were 2 nominations - "artistic value" and "warmth of the soul", friendship won, and everyone received prizes. The main thing is to make sure that the creators do not quarrel, because everyone has a different artistic vision.

My friend went even further in the issue of drawing - at her holiday, having painted a newspaper, the guests began to each other. But she has a great advantage over me - two bathrooms in the apartment, that is, two bathrooms, which significantly speeds up the process of laundering. And she also has plenty of space, so she could leave her painted friends at night and launder gradually.

More about birthday entertainment and more!

1. If you think that stupid game of mummy (that is, winding each other at speed toilet paper) only likes preschoolers - you just never tried it with adults.
2. They say that most men are indifferent to sweets. Perhaps so - but this is the case when the sweets are stacked in a vase. Try hanging sweets and small chocolates in garlands from the ceiling and hang a poster on the wall "Sweet to pluck only with your teeth." You will be greatly entertained by your serious men, who for some reason will definitely need to get at least one candy each. But God forbid, they will bet on something, as we had in the past - they tear and gobble up everything hung up, and then some will be covered with red spots, for which the wives will make big claims.
3. Do not give balloons to guests!!! Or think in advance how you can distract them later ... You can’t even imagine (if you didn’t see it yourself, you wouldn’t believe it) how long your friends are able to invent various things with balloons, how many things in the room they are capable of dropping and breaking during this time and, most importantly, how much noise there will be.
4. Puppet theater is entertainment not only for small children. In just an hour, your guests are able to enthusiastically cut a scene out of a shoebox, attach a curtain to it from the remnants of an old sheet, fasten children's toys available in the house on fingers and strings and create a fairy tale.
5. Everything that beats and breaks, but is dear to you, remove it in advance. Very far. Where guests can't even imagine hiding. Better take it to the balcony.

My dream is an impromptu performance

For the second year now, I have been dreaming of making an impromptu performance out of my birthday. That is to say, dress up the guests in costumes, masks and wigs, partly made in advance, partly made on the spot, paint each other with make-up and compose and immediately act out a fairy tale on the go. Something like that, modern, but based on well-known material - for example, a teremok, where a mouse will be a call girl, a frog - a business woman, a wolf a bandit, and so on. The only thing missing so far is a place in the apartment… My friends are already aware and have also begun to dream with me.

Wish us good luck, because we will definitely do it ... may our apartment remain safe and sound ... well, at least almost whole ...

Looking for how to arrange funny contests at a birthday party, so that they are interesting and enjoyable for both children and adults? This compilation should help!

Birthday child for adults

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

Behind this fuss, they forget about another category of guests - the parents of these children that will lead them to the feast and will surely stay until its end. As a standard, adults watch the children from the table, talking on secular topics with other parents and tasting dishes carefully prepared by the hosts of the evening. You can’t call such a pastime particularly interesting, but there are entertainments that can bring all adults together and create a closer bond between them and children.

Holiday program for children

And yet, for starters, it’s worth developing a holiday script for the birthday boy. In the case of young children under 7 years old, entertainment like searching for “treasures” or investigating a case is easy to do. about the "disappearance" of the birthday cake. Ideas for such scenarios can come up with great amount, and you don’t even have to order animators and spend money on props.

For example, in the missing birthday cake scenario, you just need to prepare the box in which this cake supposedly should be, a note from the "kidnapper" and the toy thief himself. A treat can be “stealed” by a doll, the baby’s favorite robot, or even a real character in which one of the parents will dress up. It is necessary to frame the case in such a way that the children completed the tasks of this "thieves" while having fun in competitions.

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

In the end, the kids, of course, will receive long-awaited delicacy and a sea of ​​positive emotions from past contests, pretty tired and giving their parents a break. Adults themselves can also participate in the production, playing other characters or simply helping the guys through the tests of the “cake thief”. This will help rally parents and their children, for which adults will also tell you later. thank you very much .

Possible ideas for competitions for children

Beyond the main scenario children's birthday must necessarily consist of contests that are interesting to children. They can be quite budgetary, but they will still bring a lot of joy to kids. A few ideas for entertainment that will suit children from 2 to 10 years old.

crazy egg

The essence 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 paint two dozen eggs, prepare teaspoons and put two pairs of stools on opposite sides of the room. Two teams of children will have to move all the eggs for a while without dropping a single one, and the team with the most eggs by the end of the competition wins.

Help me pick up the leaves

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

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 kids, you can draw notes.

Mr. Frankenstein

Don't let this name scare you. the essence of the game is harmless: The children will take turns with their eyes closed trying to attach a part of the character's body to its image on the poster. The character can be absolutely anything, and you will need to make multiple 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 leaflet with plasticine or a button.

Wind, wind, you are mighty

In this game, the guys must move your ball faster from one part of the room to another, but this can only be done by blowing on the balloon. The competition area must be clean and spacious enough for the little ones to roll on the floor and blow on their balloons. For the game it is enough to prepare a dozen fairly dense balls, leaving some in reserve, and the award "For the mighty breath."

Book antonyms

This competition will be able to “kill” three “hares” at once: help in the development of the thought process in kids, increase interest in books and cheer them up at the holiday. The essence of the game is that the presenter pronounces the name of the book or fairy tale, but using only antonyms. The game has the following options:

• Green hat - Little Red Riding Hood.
• Castle - Teremok.
• Black Sander without the Seven Giants- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
• Kilometristche - Thumbelina.
• Ugly and cute animal- The beauty and the Beast.
• Cold fish - Firebird.

Of course, in addition to books, you can choose any other, as long as they are interesting for your children. To be sure of this, ask the parents of the children invited to the evening in advance what they are interested in.

Gift for everyone

If financial resources allow, you can arrange a surprise for each guest of the evening giving him a small present. To do this, you need to blindfold all the guys, unwind them and give them the opportunity to pull a gift for themselves from the ribbon hung in advance. Can be used as gifts key chains, 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 parents, and puts it in a special box. After that, the kids take turns pulling out pieces of paper with desires and fulfilling them: dancing, reciting a verse, hugging everyone present, and so on. This game will especially appeal to the kids if parents also participate in it, because you can see them in an informal setting.

Birthday decorations

Not only sweets, but also pleasant speeches can to please the hero of the occasion that 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 dryers and say something nice to the birthday boy, and the participant with the most rings on the "beads" wins.

Be sure to give the children a break between competitions so that they are not capricious and have time to participate in each. Try to arrange the contests from the most active to the quietest, inserting a tea party between them. At the end of the evening, be sure to treat each kid with a piece of birthday cake.

Guessing the classics

Children in our time watch and read a significant number of works, and some of them are considered classics. Invite the children 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?- The story of the Golden Fish.
• I'll sing!- cartoon "Once upon a time there was a dog."
• Hakuna matata- The Lion King cartoon.
• The bird-talker is distinguished by intelligence and ingenuity- cartoon "The Secret of the Third Planet".
• Smile and wave…- Madagascar cartoon.
• 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_Works", 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 easy, like in childhood, and this can be arranged with the help of adult competitions and entertainment. Although parents have to take care of their child, they have the right to relax and have fun, having received their own separate holiday program. Games during children's competitions will not be possible, but While the kids are relaxing, adults can have fun.

At the same time, while the children are playing with the animator, you can invite adults, especially if they are family friends or relatives, to watch a video. It is not at all difficult to mount a clip from photos and video cuts to children's music, taking into account current technologies. You can either download a special program to your computer and use the editing lessons, or give this work to a special agency.

Clip from photos

You can edit the video for the boy's birthday yourself

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

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 children and adults are prepared two separate tables, and mom and dad of the birthday boy 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.

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

Possible ideas for adult contests

Adults also like to participate in competitions, but children's ones are not suitable for them. Therefore, for everyone over fifteen, it is worth preparing separate entertainment. It can be any idea from the following.

predictable guest

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

Grandma Vanga

Quite an unusual game can be called this one, where relatives try to guess how will the birthday boy grow in the future. For this, it is necessary to prepare whatman paper about A3 in size and draw a table on it with the age of the child and the names of the guests. In the cells of their column, guests will write predictions about anything: growth, character traits, hobbies, and more.

The table will look something like this:

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

Remember everything

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

• First word;
• When did the baby start walking?
• Exact date of birth;
• Favorite and least favorite dish;
• Favorite toy;
• All sections and circles where the child goes.

There are enough ideas for questions, and it is important that you have accurate 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 reverse side.

Sweet word

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

The winner will be the one who can be the last to come up with their own version of the name. As a gift, he can rely on a drawn card from the birthday man with warm words.

Smart Dad, Smart Mom

It will be extremely interesting for children to watch how their parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles trying to do funny things, so this competition is simply necessary for a children's holiday. Its implementation is simple:

• Buy and inflate in advance enough dense balloons 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!”.
• Give the command to adults to start collecting balloons. Their task is to keep as many balls as possible in their hands by any means at hand.
• On purpose, don't end the competition too quickly so that the adults can compete by trying to keep the balls from themselves and knock down others.

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

For 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, then it will be difficult to guess who is depicted in the portrait. Such a game can well entice adults during children's competitions.

If necessary, you can deliberately "age" recent photos of children using image editors or third-party services. There you can remove the sharpness of the photo, change its color and add "noise".

Falling back into childhood

Every parent must have experienced an incredible feeling of irritation when a baby spit out a freshly washed and scalded pacifier. Now adults can feel like babies spitting nipples as far as possible and marking their length with chopsticks. For this, nipples will have to be purchased in advance, not forgetting them. sterilize each time before putting in your mouth.

Unlike children, adults are not always ready to entertain themselves with ridiculous tasks, so try not to be too intrusive. Be sympathetic to the fact that some guests feel insecure or simply out of sorts, giving them the opportunity to enjoy delicious food in peace. As the hosts of the evening, you must be courteous and attentive to each invited person, allowing him to rest in a calm atmosphere.

Possible ideas for joint competitions for children and adults

Unlike many previous ones, these competitions are aimed at joint pastime of adults and children. Such games bring 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 should be diluted with 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 emerge as a better father, bringing a lot of laughter to moms. Popes should put a child on your back and crawl on all fours, jump and jump from one end of the room to the other. The winner is the one who will carry his baby first without dropping him (because then he will receive from his mother).

Cacophony

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

• Iron pans;
• Metal lids from frying pans;
• Tin cans in which a trifle is poured;
• Glass glasses combined with chopsticks;
• cabinet doors;
• Not very thick countertops that can sound like a drum.

The list could go on and on, including real instruments if they are available at home. They will come down for business toy drums, whistles and children's xylophones, that sound unprofessional. The essence of the task is simple: create your own orchestra or how best to play along with a famous song.

This game will allow you to throw out tension, completely relax and cheer up even the most decadent mood.

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

The task, I tell you, is very difficult. There are funny contests, but those that are too early to hold in adolescence, and they can cheer up only tipsy guests. It doesn't suit us...

Where to begin

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

Obstacle dance

First step. We pull one rope at a height of 1 meter, and the other at a height of 50 cm from the floor. You can move a little, not one above the other. As a rule, there is nowhere 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 the lower rope to step over, and crawl under the upper one. If there are few guests, several dance circles.

Second phase. We tightly blindfold two participants, ask them to overcome obstacles. We quietly remove the ropes ... it remains to observe the efforts of careful dancers.

frozen artist

Presenter: "We need two people who draw well." He gives them each a felt-tip pen: “Only today you won’t need it, I’ll bewitch 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 in their hands (it is better to attach it to a solid base). The point is that the artists with felt-tip pens stand still, and their assistants move the sheet along the tip of the felt-tip pen, trying to capture a picture that everyone understands. It can be a portrait of a birthday person, a birthday cake with candles, just a house with a tree and the sun. Everything is fun, try it!

Siamese twins

On the cards you need to write some part of the body, call all the guests and build them in pairs. Each couple draws a card and sticks it with the part of the body that fell out to them, like Siamese twins. Noses, heels, nape, elbows, knees, backs. Now you need to tie a handkerchief to each other. Let one couple do it, the rest just watch. The one with the most difficult situation wins. Try to put a handkerchief on the "twin" if you are stuck with your backs ...

What did you do there?

The game is equally fun for both children and adults, since it’s hard to come up with something more fun than random coincidences of questions and answers.

We write on the tablets:"Dentist's Office", "Director's Office", "Toilet", "Bathhouse", "Bakery", "Cinema", "Post Office", "Park", "Zoo", "Theater", "Hairdressing Salon", "Basement" , "Construction", "Kindergarten", " Pension Fund”, “Desert island”, “Fitness club”.

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

• Do you often go there? (Every Friday, three times a week, rarely but with pleasure)
• Do you like this place? (It can be better, I'm not sure yet)
• 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 plate and the player. It's fun when Kindergarten go once a month with Alla Pugacheva, take a laptop and a toothbrush with them, do ballet there or eat pizza) &

downed pilots

I somehow held this game on February 23 at school, but all the spectators were so carried away that I boldly propose to organize it at a birthday party. Oddly enough, it's fun.

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

Defile

It can be held at the moment when you want to invite guests to the table. Build them against the opposite wall and solemnly announce (there is no need to give out roles in advance): “They arrived at the gala dinner: a famous yogi, a dancer from the east, Baba Yaga, a fairy Princess, an ogre, a Shusher rat, a ballerina from Bolshoi Theater, one-legged Pirate, President of Russia, bodybuilding champion, famous supermodel (actress), a baby who today learned to walk.

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

Unlucky Sculptor

You don’t need to tell anyone the name of the competition in advance, otherwise the meaning will become clear, and we don’t need this. All guests must go to another room, only the host and three players remain. You appoint one sculptor and ask him to put the other two in the most uncomfortable positions. For example, let the first one freeze, pushing himself off the floor in the top position, and the second one will sit on his back, clasping his hands behind him in the castle. And now the presenter changes the one who has the hardest time in the new sculpture to the sculptor himself. Since he himself came up with torture for others, take the rap :-).

Now you can start one new player from another room. Now it's 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's always 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) one after the other, side by side with the guests. Show the last player a simple drawing of a snowman and ask them to draw THIS on the previous player's back. He is trying to understand what he was depicted, draws on his back what he understood (silently). So we reach the first in this line, which should depict the original drawing on clean paper. Usually a 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 the manufacturers soft toys this competition is funny. We blindfold the player and offer to guess what he is holding in his hands. For example, when we offered to identify a snake in a Santa Claus hat with a bag for gifts, the girl said that it was a snail. Guests are always surprised that they failed to guess such an obvious little animal. It’s funnier if a person comments on his guesses aloud.

What would the Indians call you?

This is not a competition, just an excuse to laugh at the table while eating cake. I found a picture on the Internet, I laughed myself. These are funny 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 last name. I, Irina Panasyan, would be called the Playful Pelican ...

Word shifters

Solving the shifters is fun. I remind you that this is:

Above the stagnant sand, milk boils (which means - Under a lying stone, water does not flow).

I will not list all the options with answers, just copy the link, there are about 100 options:

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

flip pictures

Print these pictures and cut them so that the answer is not so obvious. In principle, you can close the half with a sheet of paper right 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 flip the picture. The correct answer is: "A man in a boat near the island, to which a huge fish swam." There is a lot of this on the site that I give!

Puzzle

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

I advise you to buy fireplace (long) matches. In a company, it's clearer.

FAQ

This is absolutely unbeatable entertainment. Tested on thousands of children's and adult holidays. I found a site that has selected questions and answers that are relatively suitable for a 12-14 year old birthday.

It needs to be done like this. Questions are enough to have only the leader, you can read in a row. But the answers need to be printed on separate sheets of paper and invite guests to pull out a piece of paper at random: “Do you brush your teeth?” “Yes, I have many talents…”

Draw 3D

Now, even among adults, creative workshops are popular, so let's not lag behind. I like that this particular drawing is ALWAYS obtained by EVERYONE, but it looks very impressive. What do you need? album sheets each person, a simple pencil, felt-tip pens and 5-7 minutes of time.

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

With 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 how well you had a good time 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 (complicate or facilitate).

• If there are only girls at the holiday, look and.

• . There are tasks that can be used not only in the new year.

• More ... At this age, they often finish their studies in music and drawing, so I advise you to look:
