Event progress

Leading: Guys, hello! Today we are celebrating great holiday, which happens only once ... a year! It's a birthday! Let's celebrate our birthday boy!

The birthday boy goes to the center. Everyone welcomes him.

Leading: Guys, we are all connected by one main link - this is the birthday boy. It is thanks to him that we are here today! I wonder if you all know each other? Let's check.

The autograph game is being played. Children receive a list of holiday guests and a pen. Their task is to collect the signatures of all guests opposite their names. Whoever completes the task the fastest wins and receives a small gift.

Leading: This is where we all met. And now you can play. Our holiday is dedicated various types sports. By the end of the evening, you will be able to decide on those that are more attractive to you. Well, right before class. sports exercises need to loosen up.

A warm-up game "On the contrary" is being held. Participants stand in a circle. Leading - the birthday man approaches one of them and names any part of the body, while pointing to any other. For example, he says: “This is my mouth,” but points to the elbow. The player, in turn, must do the opposite: point to the mouth, and say: "This is my elbow." If the answer is incorrect, then the player is eliminated, and the leader goes to the next participant.

Leading: Warmed up a bit, now you can start the lesson exercise! And the first sport is darts. Tell me what you know about him.

The children answer.

Leading: Well done, you know almost everything. And for sure, many of you are just addicted to it. But you must admit, if this is so, then it will not be fair to evaluate you in the same way as those who have never thrown darts! I think it would be better to change the rules of the game a little and hold an unusual contest.

The competition "Original darts" is held. A target is placed in the center of the room. To do this, a medium-sized basin is placed in a large basin, and a small basin is placed in it. As shells, you can use walnuts or small balls. Players from a certain distance take turns throwing projectiles at the target. For each hit in the large pelvis, they get 1 point, in the middle - 2, and in the small - 3 points. The more points a participant scores, the more likely it is that he will be the winner. At the request of the birthday man, you can appoint a judge.

Leading: Everyone hit the target. So, we can say that you have mastered this sport perfectly. Now it's time to talk about the favorite game of many boys - football. What do you know about him?

The children answer.

Leading: Do you also like to play football? Unfortunately, a full-fledged game will not work here, since the area is not large enough, and there are enough fragile items in the room. Therefore, we will play a kind of football - fan ball. Have you guessed how we will “kick” the ball? By the way, we will make the attributes for the game - fans - right now with our own hands.

Participants make paper fans. Then the game "Fanball" is held. Participants are divided into 2 teams. There is a tennis ball on the table exactly in the middle. Improvised gates are installed along the edges of the table - these can be pencils. The task of the players is to score a goal with the help of a fan.

Leading: Well done! Even without the soccer ball, they did very well! And this suggests that it is time to move on to the next sport - rock climbing. Can you climb? Have you ever climbed rocks? So today we won't. Let's jump over the rope.

The game "Cells" is being played. 2 chairs are set at a sufficient distance from each other. From above and below, ropes are pulled through them, which are tied together with small threads to end up with square cells. One of the participants is on one side of the structure, the rest are on the opposite side. The task of the players is to transfer the participants in turn to opposite side so they don't touch the floor.

Leading: You're just great at climbing. I would even dare to go with you on a trip through the mountains, but I'm afraid that I can't do it myself. You will have to save me or call rescuers who will rush in their helicopters ... By the way, would you like to travel? Fly on a real plane?

The children answer.

Leading: Let's see how your ability to navigate in space is developed.

The game "Journey" is being played. For her, you will need a world map and small cardboard airplanes with a button. The take-off point is marked on the map. At a short distance from it, those wishing to take part in flying "races" line up. After a few minutes, which are given to the participant to study the location of the take-off point on the map and draw up a flight plan, he is blindfolded. Having reached the map, the player pins the plane as far as possible from the takeoff point. If the airplane falls into the water, it crashes and is out of the game. The player who "flies" further wins.

Leading: Well, you have mastered some sports. I think the rest of you will be on the shoulder. It is only important to remember that in any competition it is important to set the right goal: not to win, but to achieve something! So I suggest you now not to win, but to achieve a better value.

The competition "Lottery" is held. A cup of peanuts, an orange, a piece of newspaper, a small book, a glass of water, a coil of rope, a photograph of a birthday person at any age, a small stack of paper, a small head of cabbage are laid out on the table.

Everyone who wishes receives a pencil and a sheet of questions to which they must answer without touching the objects:

  • How many peanuts are in a cup?
  • How many seeds are in an orange?
  • How many words are written on a piece of newspaper on both sides?
  • How many pages are in the book?
  • How much water is in a glass (in ml)?
  • What is the length of the rope?
  • How old is the birthday boy in the photo?
  • How many papers are in the stack?
  • What is the weight of a head of cabbage?

The winner is the one who gives the most accurate answers to all questions.

Leading: Of course, it is difficult to win, but it is possible. But not everyone succeeds in achieving higher results compared to their own previous ones. And now let's see how masterfully you own a sword. Answer the question: what is the sharpest weapon you know?

Children express their opinion.

Leading: Guys, the sharpest weapon is the word! Why do you think?

Children speak up.

Leading: The word can hurt so much that this wound will not heal for a very long time. Therefore, this weapon must be handled very carefully. Do you know how to do it? Then let's check how good you are at it!

The game "Secret words" is being played. All participants receive a pencil and 5 sheets of paper. On each sheet they write various words. Then the leaves are turned over. After that, the players take turns asking any participant a question, trying to ensure that he uses any secret word from the list when answering. If the word was spoken, then the piece of paper on which it was written is turned over so that everyone can see. The winner is the one who turns over all his pieces of paper the fastest.

Leading: Well done boys. We coped with even the most difficult task! I think that you should be athletes. Congratulations on successfully passing all tests!

The game is not mobile, develops thinking and communication skills.

Players should sit close to each other. You need to put your hands so that the player’s right hand lies on the neighbor’s left knee, and vice versa. The circle must be closed, but if not, then the outer players must put their hands on their knees.

Choose a driver. We blindfold him and put him with his back to the table. He takes a few steps forward and turns around three or four times. Place a balloon on the edge of the table. The driver must return to the table and try to blow the ball to the floor. It turns out funny, because the driver, as a rule, loses direction and blows off the ball where there is none at all.

The game is mobile for the driver. Develops coordination.

10. Competition "Wrap it up soon"

Team members turn around and collect clothespins. The one who collected the most clothespins won. The winner becomes the leader.

12. Game "Air battle"

Inflate some round balloons. Form two teams and divide the room into two parts. Place the teams opposite each other. The task of the players is that while the music is playing, try to throw the balls to the side of the opponents. It's not easy at all. After all, opponents also beat the balls. As soon as the music is turned off, the children freeze. The team with the fewest balls in their territory wins.

And we also bring to your attention Interesting games and birthday contests for children:

13. Game "Chain of words"

We name a word, for example, a chair. We give each team a piece of paper on which the first participant writes this word. Then the participants begin to form a verbal chain, passing the piece of paper to everyone in turn. Each subsequent word of the player must begin with last letter the previous one. For example, a chair - a puddle - an orange - a knife - a beetle ... The team that wins certain time make the chain longer.

14. Game "Pass the orange (apple)"

Children are divided into two teams. Each team line up. The participants in each line must pass an orange or an apple with the help of their chin. Hands cannot be used. If someone drops an apple (orange), the relay starts over. The team that quickly passes an apple or an orange from the first participant to the last wins.

15. Lego relay

Children are divided into two teams and receive two identical Lego sets. Each team must build a building, but working in a chain. Children take turns fixing their part to make an interesting, unusual building.

16. The game "Who called me?"

We choose the driver, blindfold him and put him in the center of the circle formed by the players. We spin it and ask you to guess who spoke to him. It is possible to speak short phrases even in altered voices.

17. The game "Pig in a poke"

We put various toys and objects in the bag. Participants are blindfolded. Choose a driver. The driver presents the bag to the players, and they must identify the item that they pulled out by touch. The one who guessed the most items wins.

18. Game "Funny alphabet"

We choose a leader. He names some letter of the alphabet. Children are divided into two teams and each team must write as many words as possible that begin with this letter in a certain time (3-4 minutes). The team with the most words wins.

19. Greedy game

Before the participants you need to lay out a lot various items. It can be clothes, dishes, stationery, toys. The task of the players is to take maximum amount things using hands, head, legs, knees, etc. The winner is the one who collects and holds the most items without dropping them.

20. Game "Collect the scarecrow"

Children are divided into two teams. Before each lay out a set of clothes (hats, shirts, trousers, scarves, towels). Each team selects a player to dress up as a scarecrow. The team with the most interesting scarecrow wins.

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 stage. 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 (fast latin is better) and ask the bottom rope to step over, and crawl under the top 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 drawing 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 wins a difficult situation. 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 with them and toothbrush do ballet or eat pizza there)

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 at opposite wall and solemnly announce (no need to distribute roles in advance): “They arrived at the gala dinner: a famous yogi, a dancer from the east, Baba Yaga, fairy princess, Cannibal, rat Shusher, Ballerina from the 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 queue, which is on blank paper should show the original drawing. 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:

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 opposite 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 for 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:
