No one doubts the fact that the birthday man - the main character on your birthday. And special attention is paid to the birthday child, because for him it is a long-awaited, special day. But don't forget about the guests. And it often happens that not only his peers, but also godparents, aunts, uncles and other relatives and friends of the family come to the little birthday boy, so it is worthwhile to think over and prepare contests for adults for children's day Births so that for them this day also becomes a fun holiday.

In fact, you can take any competition, both adults and children. The main thing is that these are not too frank or indecent contests, as well as games where alcohol is involved, because the birthday is still for children. In principle, any fun and decent competition or game that you like will do. adult company and will amuse the kids watching what is happening.

Our selection consists of simple options, which do not require special preparation and for their implementation you need a minimum of requisites, which will greatly simplify their implementation. Now let's take a closer look at each of the contests.

You only need one very common clothespin. At the beginning of the fun, we announce that we have a crocodile and it will periodically attack guests, after which, during the celebration, we imperceptibly cling the “crocodile” to someone's clothes, or hide it under a napkin, or throw it in a pocket. When the deed is done, we announce that the crocodile has escaped, and the guests' task is to find him. The one who found a crocodile with him receives a small present and is announced as a new driver, that is, now he must throw a clothespin to the next guest. So in the process of celebration, a clothespin bypasses almost all guests and everyone receives small pleasant gifts.

Bankers

For this competition, take a glass jar, several bills of different denominations, coins, as well as pieces of paper, fabric, foil, any small objects. Chocolates can be used in the form of coins to confuse the participants. The size of the can and the amount of money are at your discretion. Next, we put the money and all the rest of the requisites in the bank so that it would be difficult to calculate the amount in the bank. We run the finished can in a circle, and each of the guests tries to count the money and writes down his amount on a piece of paper. At the end, we open the bank, count the money and determine the winner, and he becomes the one who calculated the amount as accurately as possible.

Draw the most valuable

It is advisable to hold various contests for adults on a child's birthday, including creative ones. Let your guests show their artistic talent and paint the most valuable thing in his life or what he dreams of. Then everyone talks about their drawing, the story is commented on by the participants and the most successful and original drawing and story is chosen by voting.

Battle of balls

it fun game, in which you can play to warm up a little after a long sitting at the table. They spend it in a spacious room or on open area... The essence of the game is that an inflatable ball is tied to the leg of each guest. It is necessary to tie as low as possible and it is desirable that the ball can lie on the floor. Then we turn on a funny melody, and the task of the participants is to burst other people's balls. The winner is the one whose ball lasts longer. You can also play in teams, then the participants

One team destroys the balls of the other team, and the winner is determined by the maximum number of whole balls in the team. A good mood after the game is guaranteed!

Dance on chairs

This is not the kind of dance in which you have to have time to sit on a chair when finished. Xia m language, this is a simple creative competition, the task of the participants of which is to improvise to the music, trying to dance without getting up from the chair.

It is advisable to place the chairs for the participants in the middle of the hall so that the audience has the opportunity to observe all the movements of the dancers, and then evaluate them by choosing the most active and creative dancer.

Cheerful zoo

This game is also suitable for children, but adults will be equally delighted with it. How can you carry it out? At the beginning, we distribute cards with animals to the participants, but we do it so that they do not see which animal is indicated on their card. Then everyone shows their card to the other participants and asks leading questions. The rest of the players answer questions, but do not name the animal itself. The winner is the one who guessed his animal after the least number of questions.

The zoo can be easily replaced with a hardware store, for example. To do this, we take cards not with animals, but with household appliances. The guessing process is identical.

Guess the fairy tale

The game is played at the table. The presenter begins to tell the tale without naming the names of the main characters. You can read directly from the book, omitting the names, titles, and the guests are trying to guess which the fairy tale goes speech. If at the holiday there are children who are already familiar with fairy tales, you can also involve them in solving. In this case, run a team competition - a team of children versus a team of adults.

Waterhole

Several identical containers of water should be prepared in advance. Pour water or juice into each of the containers, give out straws to the participants. The task of the contestants is to empty their container as quickly as possible. The task can be complicated by the condition that you need to drink without the help of hands. It will be even more interesting if the container is not on the table, but on a chair.

Writers

A great opportunity to try your imagination and writing skills, and at the same time have some fun.

How to conduct? Prepare a list of questions in advance. It should look something like this:

• Who?
• Where did you go?
• What for?
• What did he see there?
• How did he react to this?
• Who came next?
• What happened next?
• etc.

You can take our list and supplement it with a couple of three more questions.

The process itself:

• handing out pieces of paper and pens to the participants;
• everyone writes at the very top of the sheet the answer to the question “Who?”. It can be either a real or a fictional character;
• then the piece of paper is bent so that the writing is not visible and the participants exchange the pieces of paper with each other;
• then we write the answer to the question "Where did you go?" and we continue in the same way until the questions are over;
• ready literary works surrender to the presenter and read out loud. Believe me, the stories will be very funny and with unexpected plot twists!

Sign up for a prize

We prepare one or several sheets, at the very top of which we write: “who will tell a fairy tale or verse”, “who will sing a song” or something like that. You might also consider options such as “who will wash the dishes,” “who will help clear the table,” and so on. We close the inscription with a sheet with the word "Prize" and send this sheet in a circle around the table so that those who wish to sign up for the prize. What a surprise it will be when those who signed up will see what they actually signed up for! But even without a prize, of course, do not leave them after they complete the task)

Like a birthday boy

A competition that requires participants to show their acting skills.

For this entertainment, we prepare in advance pieces of paper with inscriptions like “I can eat like a birthday boy”, “I can walk like a birthday boy”, “I can draw like a birthday boy”, “I can dance like a birthday boy”. This competition will be especially interesting on the birthday of a baby 1-3 years old.

Participants take turns taking out pieces of paper and showing their acting ability... The most talented actor is awarded with a prize.

Almost football

For this game, you will need a spacious room, which is conventionally divided into two halves. We divide the guests into two equal teams. As a soccer ball - balloon uk, and the task of the “footballers” is to throw the ball to the side of the opposing team. A certain time is allocated for the game, during which it is desirable to turn on rhythmic music.

Open the chest

Something like a mini-quest for guests. Any casket or even a box can be used as a chest. Stages of the mini-quest - any interesting riddles or questions about the birthday man himself. Alternatively, divide the participants into teams and let each of them compete for the “treasure”. It can also be carried out in the form of an individual competition - whoever gives the most correct answers will receive the key to the coveted treasure chest. Well, we fill the chest itself with pleasant trifles - sweets, chocolate bars, small toys. Even if the adult guests turn out to be not a sweet tooth, then each of them probably have kids at home who will be happy with such a treasure won by a parent.

Who will melt the ice?

Refreshing entertainment. It is worth preparing a few ice cubes in advance for him. To make it more interesting for the participants, we freeze any small figures in cubes, which will be the prizes. You can freeze, for example, small sweets, only having previously wrapped them in several layers of packaging film so that they do not dissolve in water before they freeze)

The task of the participants, as you probably already guessed, is to melt the ice. But how to do it is up to you. You can dissolve them in your mouth, you can blow on them (in this case, they will melt more slowly, but it will be safer for the throats of the participants). The winner is the one whose piece of ice has melted before the others.

Associations

A game that can be played right at the table in a relaxed atmosphere.

First, choose a topic for which you will select associations. Let's take Summer as an example. Each of the participants writes on a piece of paper 10 words that he associates with summer. For example: beach, sea, heat, watermelon, strawberry, etc. When everyone has coped with the task, we begin to read out the lists one by one. If someone finds the same items, they must be deleted from all lists. The winner is the one on whose list the most uncrossed words remain. The winner rightfully receives the title of a person with the most out-of-the-box thinking)

A few more ideas can be gleaned from the video:

In conclusion, I would like to note that this is only a small part of the entertainment that can be spent on a birthday with a little birthday boy for adult guests. Any competition can be slightly modified, adjusted to the situation and the interests of the participants.

And what games and contests for guests at the birthday of the child did you conduct? Share in the comments!

If you want your child to have only good memories of his birthday, you will have to make an effort to make this day fun. You need to think about a birthday scenario, choose birthday contests for kids and games that are really fun.

To make the holiday atmosphere a success, you need to decorate the room. For this, balloons, bows and garlands are suitable. The very room in which the holiday you are planning will take place must be made as free as possible. The selection of all possible birthday games and contests for children should focus on those that you yourself understand.

Games can be mobile, in which children can warm up and make some noise, and quiet, or board games, which require ingenuity and knowledge. To prevent overexcitation in children, games of different types must necessarily alternate. Before you start new game, children need to explain its rules in detail. During the game, adults can be both presenters and participants.

Cats and mice
For the children's game "Cats and Mice", you need to prepare several chairs. They are placed in a circle, with the seats facing inward. Half of the children are seated on chairs - they will be "mice", and the rest are put in the back - they will be "cats". There must be one more "cats" than "mice", that is, in front of one player, the chair must be empty. Then this "cat" player must wink at one of the "mice" - any. At the same time, the "mouse" must have time to run over to the chair that stands in front of the winker. The "cat" that stands behind the chair of this "mouse" must try to hold it with the help of its hands. If it was not possible to keep, now this player will be winking at the next "mouse". After a while, "cats" and "mice" should switch roles.

chamomile
For the "Chamomile" competition, you need to stock up on paper, scissors and funny tasks. In advance, you need to make a paper chamomile with as many petals as there are children. On the reverse side, you need to write funny tasks. The children are left to tear off the petals and complete tasks: crow, jump on one leg, sing songs, repeat tongue twisters, etc.

Birthday gifts
All children, divided into subgroups, depending on what kind of gift they have prepared, participate in the Birthday Presents competition. In turn, each subgroup “goes to the store for gifts”: they go to a corner and discuss which imitation movements are suitable for describing their gift. Then they approach the birthday man and ask him to guess the gift. The child needs to guess the object by the movements shown, after which he receives a gift.

Freeze
To hold the competition "Freeze" you need to get a balloon. The presenter needs to toss a balloon, and while he is in flight, all the children can move, and when he touches the floor, the children freeze and smile. Those who could not do it on time are eliminated from the game.

Potato and spoon
For the "Potato and Spoon" competition, four chairs, four plates, and two potatoes are being prepared. On one side of the room, you need to put two chairs, on each place a plate of potatoes. On the opposite side are the remaining chairs with empty plates. At the same time, two people participate in the competition, whose task is to transfer potatoes in a spoon from one plate to another. The winner will be the team that coped with the transfer of their potatoes faster.

Flower bed
The Flowerbed contest will require musical accompaniment and colored hoops. The hoops laid out on the floor are "flower beds". A child squatting in a "flower bed" - a "flower". While the music is playing, children should show a composition that shows the growth of flowers - run out of the hoop and dance. As soon as the music stops, you need to quickly run to your flower bed. The most important thing is not to mix it up.

Fire brigade
The Fire brigade competition will require the same number of chairs as the number of participants. The chairs are installed in a circle, the backs are inside. Children walk around the chairs to the music. When it stops, each player places one of the items of clothing on the chair near which he stopped. Then the game continues. Each participant needs to get rid of three objects, which will be laid out on different chairs. Then the signal “Fire!” Is given. Players need to find their belongings and get dressed. The one who spends the least time will win.

Harvesting
For the “Harvesting” competition, you will need a dozen potatoes, a couple of baskets and a couple of wooden spoons. The game requires two participants. Potatoes are scattered on the floor, each child walks with a basket and a wooden spoon. When the signal is given, each of them is engaged in collecting potatoes with a spoon, and then folding them into their own basket. The winner is the child who collects large quantity potatoes for a certain period of time.

Bear
For the game "Bear", a child is selected who will represent the bear. He lies on the floor, while all the other children walk around him, imitating picking mushrooms and berries, and at the same time hum a song:

The bear in the forest
I pick mushrooms, berries,
And the bear does not sleep
Everything is looking at us!
The basket overturned,
The bear rushed after us!

When the song ends, the "bear" should jump up and catch the scattering guys. The first one is caught and replaces him with the role of "bear".

It's boring to sit like that
For the competition "It's boring to sit like that" you will need a lot of chairs. They need to be placed along opposite walls. All children sit on one side and recite a rhyme:

It's boring, boring to sit like that
All to look at each other.
Isn't it time to run
And change places?

After that, they must run to opposite side where there are one less chairs than the children involved. A child who is left without a chair drops out. Then you need to remove two chairs. The game is repeated until the last chair is occupied by the winner.

Grandfather
For the game "Grandfather" among the children, one is selected who will fulfill this role. The rest should groan and agree on what movements they will show. Then they go to the "grandfather" and the following dialogue takes place:

- Hello, grandfather!
- Hello children! Where were you, what were you doing?
- Where we were, we will not say, but what we did, we will show ...

Children are shown movements that depict work, and the task of the "grandfather" is to guess what exactly they are doing. If he turns out to be right, the children scatter in different directions, and the "grandfather" catches one of them. If it was not possible to guess, the children again move away and agree on the image of another work.

Fishermen and fish
For the competition "Fishermen and Fish" two "fishermen" are selected, the rest will be "fish". They lead a round dance and at the same time sing a song:

Fish live in the water
There is no beak, but they peck.
There are wings - they don't fly
No legs, but walking.
They don't make nests
And the children are taken out.

After that, the "fish" need to scatter, and the "fishermen", holding hands, catch them. Those of the “fish” who have been caught stand next to the “fishermen”, which makes the “net” longer, and help in catching the remaining participants.

Porters
For the "Porters" competition, you need to stock up on six large balls and two rugs. Children need to be divided into two teams. The first child is given three balls in his hands. His task is to deliver them to their final destination, put them on the mat and return to the team. The second child needs to go to the mat, pick up the balls and carry them to the starting position, where the third player takes them. It is not an easy task to hold three large balls in your hands, and if the ball falls, it is very difficult to pick it up without the help of other players. Therefore, children move very slowly and with great care. The distance should be chosen short. The team that completes the task faster wins.

Night driver
Skittles are being prepared to hold the Night Driver competition. The presenter announces that the driver will drive without lighting at night, and therefore the player will be blindfolded. Before that, he was shown a freeway, for the construction of which sports pins were used. The driver takes the steering wheel and goes through the entire highway for training. In this case, all the columns must remain in their places. The player will then be blindfolded. At the same time, the leader helps him - he tells him where to turn, and warns of danger. When the "freeway" is passed, the driver's eyes are untied. Then the time is right for the next participants in the game. The winner will be the one with the most pins left in place.

Ring
Many parents remember how in childhood they played the game "Ring". To do this, you need to prepare a pebble or a ring. Children step away from the wall a few steps and turn to face it. The presenter stands in front of them. Children's palms should be folded like a boat, and a ring is hidden in the leader's folded hands. The presenter approaches each player and holds his own boat inside the player's boat. At the same time, each time he imitates that he puts a ring. After all the players have passed, the presenter leaves and says "Ring, ring, go out on the porch!" The task of the one in whose hands the ring really fell is to run forward and touch the wall. This must be done so that other players cannot grab it. If he succeeds, he takes the place of the leader, and the leader takes the place of the player.

Masha gets up in the circle, and everything is repeated from the beginning. It will be good if each child will be able to be in the role of a “birthday boy”.

Who hurt you?

One child is blindfolded and turned with his back to the others. Someone lightly touches him with a hand, you have to guess who it is. If he guessed right, then the person who touched him is blindfolded and he becomes a “guessing game”.

Cat and mouse

The chairs are placed in a circle, with the seats facing inward. Half of the children sit on chairs - these are "mice", the rest stand behind - these are "cats". One "cat" should not have enough "mouse", that is, it stands behind an empty chair. This "cat" winks at some "mouse". The task of the "mouse": to run over to an empty chair to the winker. The task of the "cat" standing behind: hold it with your hands. If she didn't, she winks at the next "mouse". After a while, "mice" and "cats" change roles.

chamomile

Chamomile is made of paper in advance - there are as many petals as there will be children. Funny tasks are written on the back of each petal. Children tear off the petals and begin to complete tasks: they walk in single file, crow, jump on one leg, sing a song, repeat a tongue twister ...

Guess the subject

Various objects are put into a large cardboard box: cubes, pencils, small cars, mosaics ... The box is closed on top with a handkerchief. The child takes an object by touch and tries to guess what it is.

Present

Children are divided into subgroups, depending on which subgroup prepared a particular gift. In turn, each subgroup “goes to the store to buy gifts”: the children go to the corner of the room and agree on what imitation movements can be used to describe their gift.

After that, the children come up to the "hero" of the occasion and say: "We have prepared a gift, guess which one." Children show the movements, and the child guesses. He is presented with a gift.

The game is played several times with different subgroups of children. V last time one of the parents joins the game and gives the child a gift.

At the end of the holiday, the presenter invites everyone present to the festive table.

Third wheel

Chairs are placed in the center, 1 less than the number of participants. Children walk or run around chairs to music. Suddenly the music stops, you have to have time to take a chair. Whoever did not have enough - leaves the game. We remove one chair, and everything continues. If there are a lot of children, at the beginning of the game, you can put sheets of newspaper on the floor, but when there are 3-4 people left, it is still better to put chairs.

Ball
