Each child is looking forward to his name day, and it does not matter at all whether he is only 4 years old or already 14 years old. That is why parents always want to make every name day of their child unforgettable.

It often happens that, afraid of not being able to cope on their own or due to lack of time, parents hire professionals and entrust all the chores to them. Of course, this is also an option, but it is much more fun to organize birthday games for children at home yourself.

And so that the guests and the birthday boy himself do not get bored, organize fun and educational games for them, as well as contests. If you do not have enough imagination to come up with games on your own, then it does not matter!

An entertaining relay race for the speed of reaction "Snake"

Gameplay Scenario: Voices

If you work in a friendly team that loves good parties, then contests for cheerful company you will definitely need it. And if you just throw parties for your friends or children from time to time, then you know what kind of honor they are interesting contests, especially when people in the company are not too familiar with each other, but you still want to overcome embarrassment.

Why is all this necessary

Many people (we will not point fingers, but most often these are not our most positive comrades) sometimes ask the question - why all these contests? Usually I get off with jokes or weightily answer that otherwise it will be boring. In fact, the reason, of course, is not boredom. Any holiday for adults most often involves alcohol, and in order for guests not to be too zealous with breastfeeding, they need to be a little distracted, amused, and simply raised to dance.

Another important aspect is embarrassment, which I often face when throwing a party for my children or nephews. They have already gone beyond the age when you can just come up and start playing together, and when children who are unfamiliar with each other are in the same company, you need to help them overcome a little chill in communication.

The only place where you can do without additional entertainment is a youth party in a good club, where without funny contests for adults it is not boring, and it is better for any company of adults to help spend time with pleasure and fun.

Training

Do not think that you will be able to prepare the entire party, including adult board games literally at the last second. I usually set aside a few days for this, because it will require:

write a script;
select contests for adults;
find or buy props;
stock up on small prizes for the winners;
minimally rehearse (for example, if it is assumed that several large aunts from the accounting department will compete in bag jumps, then you need to check in advance whether the room can withstand such a scale and whether there is where to turn around).

Ideally, you need an assistant for all this.

Birthday Toast Game

How to prepare fun birthday contests? It is best if they are at least a little connected with the hero of the occasion. An example of the simplest birthday word game is, compiled right there at the table.

What is required for this entertainment? A pen and a postcard in which you need to write a congratulatory text in advance, making gaps instead of adjectives - you will fill them in together with the guests.

The text of the blank for congratulating the birthday man:

Those who do not know what should happen in the end will diligently praise the hero of the occasion, listing him best qualities(young, smart, handsome, experienced), and those who are a little more familiar with this type of table creativity will surely screw up something sudden and caustic.

While the guests are praising the birthday boy, you diligently fill in the words instead of the missing adjectives, and then read the result loudly and with expression to the friendly laughter of the whole company.

Pick up one or two outdoor games on your birthday - for example, a small quest that can be arranged anywhere. Don't make it too long, three to five steps will be enough.

By the way, if you have enough courage, then try to make the main subject of the quest the key, on which the banquet hall is closed.

Good funny birthday contests also come from the usual restrictions - playing with forks makes guests moan with laughter. To hold this contest, you need to take a few ordinary items (if you are organizing a birthday game, these can be especially durable gifts that cannot be scratched or broken) and two dinner forks, as well as a thick scarf. The hero of the occasion is blindfolded, given forks, with which he can touch this or that object, and offered to guess what is in front of him.

Children's or teenage holiday? Fun competitions for teenagers will help to defuse the situation no worse than competitions for adults. Fun entertainment can be done with four bananas and a stool (it will do coffee table). The essence is simple - you need to get on all fours, and using only your teeth to clean and eat a banana for a while.

Good contests for young people should be fun and very funny. Competitions for teenagers can also be theatrical. Prepare several sets of props (ordinary household items in unexpected combinations - for example, a comb, a burnt out light bulb and a cape on a chair in one set, and a mop in another, soft toy and a bright plastic glass), and also prepare a few titles of popular films, focus on your audience - it is better to take what is familiar to everyone.

The essence of the task is to act out a scene from the film using props. The winners are determined by applause.

"Seated entertainment" at the table

But what if mobile contests for a feast are not suitable? In this situation, it is better to pick up something neutral - ordinary word games at a table like a "crocodile" they go very, very well.

The game "In my pants"

Take ready-made or come up with your own contests for adults - for example, you can use the idea "I'm in my pants."

You don't need to declare a name. The guests sit at the table, each tells his neighbor on the right the name of the film that came to his mind. And he remembers what his neighbor will tell him.

And then the facilitator announces: Now each of you in turn will say the following aloud: "In my pants...", and then - the name of the movie that your neighbor told you.

All guests speak in turn. It will be funny if someone has “Office Romance” or “300 Spartans” in their pants.

i-games

Fun table contests can be based on anything. For example, there are several varieties of "I"-games. One is predominantly teenage - in it two players compete to see how many candies fit in their mouths, after each candy you need to more or less clearly pronounce any stupid phrase, for example, "I'm a fat-cheeked lip slapper."

The adult version of the game is slightly different - guests must introduce themselves (pronounce the word with a serious and unflappable look "I") in a circle until one of them gets confused or distracted (by the way, laughter is also considered a defeat), and the host invites other guests to give him a funny nickname.

After that, the fun begins, which unites all table contests like a chain reaction - it can be very difficult not to laugh, and after a couple of minutes everyone has a nickname that he introduces himself to (for example: “I am a furry pseudopod”, “I am a cheerful armpit”, “I am a rosy-cheeked lip-slap”, etc.)

In the next round, the laugher is given a second nickname, and he must pronounce it in full (“I am a furry pseudopod - green Chingachgook”).

Usually this game ends on the fourth round because everyone is laughing! This competition is best done when the guests are already a little "on the fun".

Not only birthday contests are remembered by guests, but also the end of the evening. At any party, it would be appropriate to pay a little attention to the guests, it will take several balloons(according to the number of those present, plus a few in reserve), and notes with good rhymed wishes - when the invitees begin to disperse or you need to change their mood to a more positive one, invite the guests to choose their own ball of fate and burst it.

Collective readings good wishes usually accompanied by good-natured laughter and cheer up everyone.

Sample wishes can be downloaded below, and then printed and cut:

Over time, you will collect your own collection of cool birthday contests and, according to the mood of the guests, you will understand which contests for the holiday will go with a bang, and which are better to arrange in a light drunk.

Save yourself universal competitions for the company - so you can be sure that in any situation you will find something to do. If you are a new leader and do not have great experience, then it is better to have a separate notebook for table games and contests, as well as prepare props - for example, some games require sets of cards with recorded song or movie names.

As a rule, competitions for a drunken company are often very scurrilous, and this is understandable - adults become liberated when drunk.

Game "Why did I come here"

Prepare entertainment that involves dancing or hugging, so that guests can express all the warmth of feelings in an appropriate way.

Game "I'll tell you a secret"

An interesting entertainment for which you need to prepare a little - "I'll tell you a secret." What is the essence of the game? Everything is very simple - each of the guests pulls out cards from a hat with a funny text prepared in advance in verse (here you have to try). All cards begin with the words “I’ll tell you a secret”, and then options are already possible, for example:

I’ll tell you in secret that I don’t wear underwear, if you have doubts, now I’ll show you;
I’ll tell you a secret, I’m on a diet, I eat only grass, I don’t look at cutlets.

If you're looking for moving contests like best dance or running around chairs, make sure there's enough space around for people of all sizes to feel comfortable.

Prefer contests for a small company? It happens that you need party contests, but it definitely won’t be too big a company, try to play something chamber and not requiring a large number people. These can be text games and contests for a small company, or verbal ones, for example:

burime;
writing a fairy tale line by line;
forfeits.

Changeling Games

Invite guests to guess the lines from the songs. Examples can be downloaded here:

Game Who We Really Are

Want to find cool contests for an anniversary? Then karaoke contests for adult company and board game Who are we really. This is a card game, the guests take turns drawing cards and reading the quatrains printed on them - usually each is met with smiles and laughter.

But karaoke contests are a great kind of entertainment for a large company of adults, and the older, the more emotional the game. It is necessary to select several participants, as well as establish a jury (usually all the guests who gathered at the birthday table play its role).

And then there is a regular karaoke duel, but each participant must not only perform a song, but also artistically present it - you can play imaginary instruments, use simple props and invite "spectators". Good mood is guaranteed for everyone!

In general, if you need to celebrate a birthday at home, karaoke is a great way to entertain a motley company at the table. It often happens that elderly relatives and young people meet at a birthday party, and even people who are not very familiar with each other - song games will help unite everyone, and over tea and cake, it’s quite possible to play board games Well, that's enough for now.

If you decide to prepare interesting entertainment and games for a drunk company, then it is better to refrain from what can be perceived as offensive - unfortunately, people do not always separate the gaming genre from reality, especially if they are not sober, which often happens in the company of friends and friends on holidays. Choose the most neutral of your fun table contests, and have a fun gaming toast ready to help you change the subject in the event of the slightest negativity.

You should not stock up too many contests, a person who plays all evening gets tired, whether he is at least drunk, at least sober, but sometimes everyone will be happy to play between toasts and table conversations once or twice. Of greatest interest will be those competitions in which there was good preparation and organization - people love to be taken care of.

There are about fifty different fun games in my personal piggy bank, and I can’t say that this is a lot or a little - birthday contests for children are not used as games for a company of adults.

Now you have ready-made contests for adults, and enough ideas to come up with your own contest for a birthday or any other holiday that you want to make special!

Children's birthday is a very joyful holiday, which should be noisy and fun. If such a celebration is planned in your family in the near future, you should prepare for it in advance so that the holiday goes flawlessly, and the birthday man and his guests have only the most pleasant memories.

One of the most important tasks to be solved in the process of preparing the holiday is the organization of games and competitions. Birthday entertainment for a fun company of children should be appropriate for the age of the guests and the nature of the event. In this article, you will find many options for interesting and exciting contests and games that your little birthday boy and his guests will surely enjoy.

Entertainment for the little ones

First of all, you should focus on the age of the child when planning entertainment for the birthday. 6 years old is the age when children can already perfectly perceive various competitions, delve into the rules of the game, and compete with each other. If the baby turns 5 - 7 years old, you should independently prepare the entire entertainment program of the holiday. To create a real festive mood, you can - let everyone at the holiday be in the role of their favorite hero. We offer you several funny contests available to preschoolers and younger students:

Freeze

The leader stands in the center of the circle and holds a balloon. While the ball is in the hands of the host, the children can move, jump, dance, talk as they please. As soon as the leader lowers the ball and it touches the floor, you need to freeze in one position, do not move or smile. Anyone who does not have time to freeze in time is out of the game.

"Chamomile"

For this competition, you need to prepare in advance a large paper chamomile flower with many petals, each of which has a funny task written on the back. Each of the kids in turn tears off one petal and completes the task (for example, crows, depicts an animal, reads a funny tongue twister, jumps on one leg, etc.). For the successful completion of each task, a prize is awarded.

"Let's Change"

The guys sit in a circle. The leader is in the center. He says: “Those who have ... change places” (for example, two pigtails, a checkered shirt, etc.). The children whom the leader named should quickly get up and move to another vacant chair. The leader's task is to have time to take a free place. The one who ends up standing becomes the leader.

"Find a Color"

The children are distributed around the room, and the leader says: "One, two, three, find the red color." Each participant must quickly find any red object in the room and touch it. The one who failed to do this is out of the game, and for the rest, the competition continues. You can play until there is only one winner left.

"Drawing in several hands"

Children are divided into two teams. Two members from each team large sheets begin to draw a picture on a given topic (for example, some animal). At the signal of the leader, the players change - the first artist is replaced by another child from his team. This continues until everyone takes part in the work on the picture. The task can be complicated if you blindfold the artists - so the resulting masterpieces will be even funnier.

"Guess the offer"

The players are divided into two teams. Each team confers among themselves and comes up with some funny phrase. All words from this sentence are divided among team members. Players in turn must depict each word with gestures and movements, and members of the opposite team must guess the intended sentence. The team that can more competently and more accessiblely portray their phrase wins.

"Word Chains"

Each child receives a piece of paper and a pen. The host calls any word, for example "pencil". Children must make a chain of words so that each subsequent word begins with last letter the previous one. For example: pencil - hat - orange - nose - pine .... The winner is the participant who manages to make the longest chain in three minutes.

"Do the opposite"

The facilitator calls some action, for example, "raise your hands up." Children must perform this action in reverse (for example, if the leader says to raise their hands, on the contrary, they need to be lowered down). The one who fails and cannot complete the task on the contrary, is eliminated from the competition. The game continues until one most attentive participant remains. The facilitator's tasks can be, for example, the following: lean to the left, raise the right leg, raise the head, etc.

"Bubble Contest"

For this game, you need to prepare a sufficient amount in advance. soap bubbles, so that they are enough for all participants. Children can determine the rules of the game themselves, for example, the one who blows the biggest bubble wins, or the one whose bubble does not burst the longest. This entertainment is perfect for the street, for example, if you are spending a birthday in nature or just went out into the yard during children's holiday.

"Eat an Apple"

Several apples (according to the number of guests) are hung on strings. The task of each child is to try to eat his apple without the help of hands. The first person to complete this task wins.

If you wish, you and your child can come up with your own games and competitions yourself. Give him the opportunity to participate in the preparation for the birthday, for the child this is a great chance to show independence and their creative abilities.

Entertainment program for teenagers

Older children need completely different games and entertainment for their birthday. 12 years at home, for example, is a completely different holiday that will look more mature and have a radically different character and direction. However, even at this age, the birthday boy and his guests will certainly be happy to participate in fun contests. Here are some options for interesting games and competitions that will not let anyone get bored at your holiday:

"Crocodile"

The point is fun game consists in the fact that the participants must take turns depicting a word or concept with gestures and movements, and the rest of the players must guess the intended phrase. Usually Crocodile is played on teams. You can choose the subtleties and rules of the game yourself, to your taste. For example, you can prepare cards with words in advance and mark on them the number of points that the team will receive if they guess correctly this concept(how harder word or a phrase, the more it should "cost"). This game is always very noisy, fun and in any company, regardless of age, is perceived with a bang.

"Flock"

Participants are divided into several teams of 3-4 people. Each team represents a flock of any animals: cats, horses, sheep, dogs, cows, etc. The players are blindfolded and they disperse around the room. At the command of the leader, the representatives of each flock must find each other, moreover, this must be done by imitating the voices of animals. For example, players from a pack of dogs must find each other by barking, from a pack of cats - by meowing, etc. The team that can unite the fastest wins.

"Take care of your feet"

Guests stand in a circle around the leader. Cheerful dynamic music sounds, and participants can move and dance as they like. In this case, the host may suddenly step on someone's foot. The task of the players is not to allow this. A participant who has been stepped on by the host is eliminated from the game. It is important to be careful while playing this game. fun entertainment did not result in injuries and bruises.

"Musical Hat"

The players become in a circle. One of them puts on a hat. The facilitator turns on the music, and the participants begin to pass the hat around, taking it off and putting it on the head of a neighbor. The host suddenly stops the music.

"Look and Guess"

Participants sit in a circle. Everyone writes a word or a person's name on a small sticky note. Then the players stick their leaves on the neighbor's forehead. Each participant sees what is written on the forehead of the others, but does not see which piece of paper he himself has. Players take turns asking leading questions to the others, trying to guess the inscription on their foreheads. The one who does it first wins.

If your child is already old enough, give him the opportunity to independently prepare entertainment of his choice for the birthday. 14 years old, for example, is the age when you should leave the birthday boy and his guests alone and let them have fun without their parents.

Thematic holidays

If you want to throw a particularly unusual and memorable birthday for your child, you might consider organizing a themed party. Such celebrations will appeal to children of any age, if you choose the right direction and the main concept of the holiday.

For example, preschoolers and younger students will surely appreciate with a treasure hunt and lots of exciting adventures or a jungle themed party. If you are preparing a birthday for a girl, you can arrange a fashion festival with trying on and demonstrating interesting outfits, an impromptu beauty salon, etc. In addition, for little birthday girls, you can arrange a Cinderella ball, a party on the theme of fairy tales, a holiday in the flower kingdom.

Similar themed holidays Suitable not only for small children, but also for teenagers. Older kids will surely be interested in a movie-themed party, a party in the style of the Wild West, in the style of James Bond, etc.

In a word, ideas for such themed celebrations can be great amount. Focus on the preferences of the birthday man, his tastes and hobbies. Then you will surely be able to prepare a truly bright and memorable holiday that will leave only the most pleasant memories of yourself.

Secrets of the perfect holiday

When preparing holiday entertainment, consult with the birthday person. Still, this is his day, so it is important that all games and contests are to your child's liking. Then good mood he and his guests will be provided.
Keep a balance between moving and calm games. It is not necessary to turn a children's party into a boring intellectual competition, however, it is not necessary to arrange only noisy and active games. Perfect option when calm and active games equally, and they must alternate with each other.
No need to overload the holiday with a very large number of contests and games. Birthday entertainment for kids should be enjoyable and unobtrusive. Too rich program can tire the little guests. Give them the opportunity to relax and play on their own in between competitions.
To create a favorable atmosphere, take care not only about the organization holiday program, but also about . If you are celebrating a children's birthday at home, try to free up as much space as possible in the room where the main part of the holiday will take place. There should be enough space for games in the room. To enhance the feeling of joy and celebration, we advise you to decorate the house in advance with colorful garlands and balloons.
Before starting any game, be sure to clearly and easily explain the rules. During competitions, you can not only act as a host, but also participate in some competitions.
Teenagers 12-14 years old are quite capable of organizing birthday entertainment themselves. If necessary, you can take part in the preparation process and help the child organize everything, but during the holiday it is better to give the birthday boy freedom and the opportunity to entertain his guests on his own.
Do not forget to prepare prizes for competitions in advance. It can be sweets, small toys, souvenirs, stationery and any other pleasant little things. The presence of prizes will make the holiday more enjoyable and exciting, and any competitions and competitions - more exciting.
Take care of the musical arrangement of the holiday. To create a pleasant relaxed atmosphere, all games and competitions should be held to dynamic music.

Having a fun and memorable birthday is not so difficult if you think through everything in advance and devote enough time and effort to preparation. And remember that the main rule of a successful holiday is creativity and good mood.

Make invitation cards with your own hands and connect the birthday man and all your household members to this exciting activity. Prepare sweets and decorate your apartment.
