After this, the fish scatter, and the fishermen join hands and catch them. The caught fish join the fishermen, causing the net to become longer, and catch the rest of the fish. The last fish that the fishermen do not catch is the winner.
“Pick up the key” - this game promotes the manifestation of skill.
Two players are given three locked padlocks and a bunch of keys. The task is to open each lock. The first one to open the locks wins. The game continues until everyone is a “discoverer.”
“Are you going to the ball?” — girls love this game.
The host starts the game with a saying:
- Yes and no - don’t say
Black and white - don't take it,
Will you go to the ball?
- Probably the player is answering.
—What will you go on? Who will you go with? What will you wear? What colour? With such questions, the presenter tries to catch the player and use forbidden words. If by chance a word is said, then the players change roles.
“Treasure Hunt” is an interesting game that develops ingenuity.
The first clue-riddle is read by the presenter:
Everyone who came to visit us,
Let them sit down at our…..The guessing table is the place to look for a clue. There is another clue on the table - which horse doesn’t drink water? The answer is chess. There is another riddle in chess - dressed in a colorful candy wrapper, it lies in a vase..... The answer is candy. The candy again contains a riddle-clue - everyone goes, goes, goes, but they don’t get up from their place. The answer is a clock. Behind the table clock there is a treasure - a box with small chocolates for each player.

Games for parents for a child's birthday
Children are very happy when their parents participate in their games. My grandmother told me how she played a game of musical chairs at graduation party her seven-year-old daughter in kindergarten and won this music competition. How happy all the children were, shouting “Hurray!” and applauded. And her daughter’s eyes simply shone with happiness. 50 years have passed since then, and my daughter happily recalls this interesting episode in her life.
I invite adult guests to play the following games with their children at the child’s birthday party:
"Potato soup."
Place two tables at a distance of three meters. Place two plates with seven small potatoes on one table. On another table there are two empty saucepans. Two players are given one tablespoon each. The task is for each player to transfer one potato with a spoon into a pot of seven potatoes for soup. Whoever completes the task faster is the winner. The game continues until all players have cooked soup. Prize for all guests: chocolate candy.
"Box walker".
Prepare four identical cardboard boxes. All players in pairs at the leader’s command “Start!” They compete to see who gets to the finish line the fastest. Then they conduct a second round of those who win, etc. In this way, the fastest box walker is chosen. He is given a prize - a flashlight.
"Kindergarten for kangaroos."
They fence it off with a rope " kindergarten for kangaroos" 2 - 3 meters from the starting line-rope. Children in groups of 2 each pick up one soft toy (you can plastic bottles) and only by jumping they get to the kindergarten. They return back, leaving the kangaroo cubs in the kindergarten, also by jumping. The one who returns the fastest will win.
They are replaced by two parents at the start and jump into the kindergarten to pick up the kangaroo cubs from the kindergarten. And, also jumping, they return to the start. Whoever jumps faster is the winner.
"Magic Pencils"
Two plastic boxes with the following inscriptions are placed on the starting line: a walnut is a prize for the winner, a hazelnut is a prize for the losing player.
Now take two identical pencils and tie them to a thick woolen thread of the same length (about 3 m each).
Two players compete to see who can wind the thread around a pencil the fastest. Prizes are awarded based on the results of the competition.
"Merry Orchestra"
Everything that plays in the house (guitar, balalaika, tambourine, pipe) and even creaks, rustles, rattles (spoons, saucepans, metal lids, metal cans with pennies, etc.), we distribute to children and adults.
Let's play a funny children's song. Everyone starts playing, singing and dancing together. Under this amazing cacophony (chaotic accumulation) of sounds, the result is “outrageous” fun.
Players receive a task - a word that needs to be deciphered. It can be absolutely anything. You need to come up with a sentence so that each word in it begins with the next letter of this task word. For example, if the word “SKODA” is given, then it can be deciphered as “Six Cows Discovered by the Detective Agency.” The author of the most witty transcript wins.
Culinary
Players are divided into teams. Each team member takes turns writing the name of something edible on a piece of paper, folding the sheet and passing it to the next person. If there are few participants, you can repeat the procedure. After the participants have written down the ingredients, the “Start” signal is given, the sheet is opened, and in 5 minutes the team must come up with the name and recipe of the dish from the ingredients they proposed. Recipes can be very funny. For example, “mix mayonnaise with kvass, add chopped apples, bake everything with pickled cucumber sauce,” etc. The winner is the team that proposed the most original recipe.
Find yours
Before the start of the competition, sheets of paper with the names of the animals are prepared. Each title must be presented in duplicate. Then all the leaves are put into a bag and mixed. Participants take turns taking out one piece of paper and, using facial expressions, sounds, and movements to depict the specified animal, try to find their mate: an elephant is looking for an elephant, a camel is looking for a camel, a monkey is looking for a monkey, etc. Those who find them present their pieces of paper to the presenter and receive a prize from him.
Through the pages of the primer
This is an interesting and varied competition for this age. Each participant is given a piece of paper and a pen. At the “start” command, everyone begins to write the alphabet in a column, and opposite each letter is a word that begins with that letter. Whichever of the guys completes the task faster and writes the alphabet with their own words wins.
Seven, seven, seven
Children are divided into teams with the same number of people and each team receives a task: to remember and write faster than the others three categories of “seven”: 7 colors of the rainbow, 7 musical notes and 7 wonders of the world. The team that fills all three categories to the maximum will be the winner.
Synchronized pair
The guys are divided into pairs, among which they will choose the most synchronous one. And to find out which of the participants can work best in a team, couples go through 3 stages of testing. Stage one: the leader moves the rope in a circle, and the couples jump up, always holding hands. Whoever does this most synchronously gets a point. Stage two: holding hands, each pair, at the command “start”, begins to squat 10 times. Whoever is most synchronized gets a point. Stage three: the guys receive a ball and, holding hands with their free hands, hit it off the floor 10 times. Whoever is more synchronized gets a point. In this competition there will be either one winning couple or several. The winners receive the title of the most synchronous participants in the event and prizes.
Dealing with liquid
For this competition, in addition to the participants themselves, you will need containers with a narrow neck (simple bottles) and ladles with liquid (water). So, each participant receives a ladle of water (in the same amount) and a bottle with a narrow neck. At the “start” command, participants begin to pour water from the ladle into their bottle. Whoever manages to do it first, pouring the most water into the bottle and spilling the least amount of water on the floor, wins.
Origami Masters
Each participant receives Blank sheet paper and a printed diagram of a figure (the same for everyone). At the “start” command, the guys figure out the diagram and make origami out of their leaf. Whoever is the first to cope and correctly make a beautiful origami figurine will be the winner.
Mill
For each participant, next to the left and right legs there are identical piles of small candies or any other objects, for example, matches. The participant stands in a standing position, with feet shoulder-width apart or even slightly wider. At the command “start”, each participant bends down and collects objects according to the method of the mill: with his right hand he reaches to his left leg and takes one object, and then with his left hand he reaches for right leg and takes one item. Which of the participants can collect and place more objects in their hands than the others in 1 minute will be the winner.
Rivals
The guys are divided into pairs and in each pair the legs of the participants are tied: one left leg, and the second one has the right one. Objects, for example, chips, matches, cards, are scattered at the same distance from each participant. At the “start” command, the guys from the pair begin to collect objects, pulling each other to their side. Whichever participant in a pair collects the most items in 1 minute advances to the next stage - the stage of competition with the winner from the other pair. And in the end, the strongest and most dexterous person will receive a prize.
Good afternoon, dear readers!
Today we will talk about what games and competitions are possible at the age of 6-12 years.
So, competitions for children's birthdays:
1. Game “Nesmeyana”
We choose one participant - Princess Nesmeyana. He (she) sits on a chair in front of the other children, who must make the “princess” laugh. But you can't touch her. The participant who makes him laugh sits in Nesmeyana’s place.
This game is sedentary, but it develops communication skills, ingenuity, imagination, thinking, and liberation.
2. Game "Eskimo blind man's buff"
You need to choose a driver, blindfold him and put on mittens. Players must approach him one by one, and he must determine by touch who is in front of him. If you recognize a player, he becomes the driver. And if not, the next player must come up for identification. This game is also sedentary, but it develops the senses and memory.
3. Game "Guess"
We choose a driver, and he makes a wish for some item on the discussed topic. For example, animals, furniture, holidays, plants. Players must guess the item by asking leading questions, to which the driver must answer yes or no. Whoever guesses the word takes the place of the leader. The game is non-moving and develops thinking and communication skills.
4. Game “Broken Phone”
We choose a leader. Players sit down or stand in a row. The presenter whispers a word in the ear of one of the players, and he also whispers it to the next player. And so on down the chain. The last player voices what he heard and this word is compared with the original. After which the leader moves or stands at the end of the chain, and the next player takes the place of the leader.
This game develops attentiveness and hearing.
5. Game "Confusion"
Children should stand in a circle and hold hands. The driver must turn away. At this time, the players, without letting go of their hands, begin to get entangled, climbing over each other. The driver turns around and unravels the “tangle” without opening the circle of players.
This game is active, it develops logic, thinking, and attentiveness.
6. Competition “Hold the ball”
Create two pairs. For each, place a hoop or draw a circle. Players must stand in this circle. They are given a balloon. Without leaving the circle, they must blow on the ball so that it falls and rises above them without going beyond the boundaries of the circle. The ball must not be touched with your hands. The pair that lasts the longest wins. This game develops coordination, dexterity, endurance and good reaction.
What other birthday competitions for children can be used at home?
Let's continue the list:
7. Competition “Knees”
The players must sit close to each other. You need to place your hands so that right hand the player was lying on the neighbor’s left knee, and vice versa. The circle needs to be closed, but if not, then the end players should put their hands on their knees. The essence of the game is to quickly clap your palms on your knees without breaking the sequence of hands: one hand should follow the other. If someone clapped, having mixed up the turn, he removes the hand with which he made the mistake. This game is sedentary and develops hand motor skills, coordination, good reaction and attentiveness.
8. Game “Who will eat faster?”
You need to take two plates in which to put candied fruits, raisins, peeled nuts, sweets without candy wrappers, and marmalade. Choose two players, and at the command “start” they must eat their portion, but without using their hands. Whose plate is empty the fastest wins. This game develops reaction speed and dexterity.
9. Shot put competition
We choose a driver. We blindfold him and place him with his back to the table. He takes a few steps forward and turns around three or four times. You need to place a balloon on the edge of the table. The driver must return to the table and try to blow the ball onto the floor. It turns out funny, because the driver, as a rule, loses direction and blows the ball away where there is none at all.
An active game for the driver. Develops coordination.
10. Competition “Reel quickly”
We select two players who stand opposite each other. You need to prepare in advance a long thread or cord, 5-6 meters long. Make a mark in the middle of the thread (lace) and tie a knot. We give each participant the end of the thread. On command, they begin to quickly wind the thread onto a reel, stick, etc. The participant who reaches the middle of the thread faster wins the competition.
11. Competition “Clothespins”
We choose a driver. Participants must turn away and count to 30-40. At this time, the driver attaches clothespins throughout the room (on curtains, Stuffed Toys, bedspreads). There are 30 pieces in total. On command, participants turn around and collect clothespins. The one who collected the most clothespins won. The winner becomes the driver.
12. Game "Air Combat"
Blow up a few round ones balloons. Form two teams and divide the room into two parts. Place the teams opposite each other. The players' task is to try to throw the balls to the opponents' side while the music is playing. It's not easy at all. After all, the opponents also hit the balls. As soon as the music turns off, the children freeze. The team with the fewest balls on its territory wins.
And we also offer to your attention Interesting games and birthday contests for children:
13. Game “Chain of words”
We name a word, for example, chair. We give each team a piece of paper on which the first participant writes this word. Next, 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 the last letter of the previous one. For example, a chair - a puddle - an orange - a knife - a beetle... The team that makes the longest chain within a certain time wins.
14. Game “Pass the orange (apple)”
Children are divided into two teams. Each team stands in a line. Participants in each line must pass an orange or an apple using their chin. Hands cannot be used. If someone drops an apple (orange), the relay race starts over. The winner is the team that quickly passes the apple or orange from the first participant to the last.
15. Lego relay race
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 attaching their part to create an interesting, unusual building.
16. Game “Who called me?”
We choose a driver, blindfold him and place him in the center of the circle formed by the players. We spin him up and ask him to guess who spoke to him. You can speak short phrases even in altered voices.
17. Game "Pig in a poke"
We put various toys and objects in the bag. We blindfold the participants. We choose a driver. The driver presents the bag to the players, and they must identify the object they pulled out by touch. The one who guesses the most items wins.
18. Game “Fun Alphabet”
We choose a leader. He names a 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. Game "Greedy"
Many different objects need to be laid out in front of the participants. This could be clothes, dishes, stationery, toys. The players' task is to take maximum amount things using hands, head, legs, knees, etc. The winner is the one who collects and holds the most objects without dropping them.
20. Game “Assemble the Scarecrow”
Children are divided into two teams. In front of each one we 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.
There is no winner in this game, it's just a lot of fun. To carry it out, you will need several things that guests can somehow put on themselves (at least not completely). These can be skirts, panama hats, scarves, mittens, slippers, etc. All this is put into a large box that needs to be closed, leaving a hole so that you can stick your hand in and get any item.
First, a driver is selected and blindfolded. After this, all participants stand in a circle and are led to the music…
Competition "The Elusive Apple"
To play this game, you can call several players at once. In front of them, at mouth level, hang small apples by their stems (their diameter should be approximately 15 cm). Each player must put his hands behind his back and, on command, begin to eat the apple hanging in front of him. And since you can’t use your hands, it’s difficult to even catch an apple. The winner is the one who turns his fruit into a core first.
If the guys are not afraid of being wet, you can not hang the apples, but place them in small bowls of water. In this case, players will also have to catch the apple in the water without using their hands. In this case, you can simplify the task by saying that you only need to pull it out with your mouth. True, the size of the apple should also be significantly increased.
Game "Blind Artist"
Before the game starts, the host tells a short story: “Once upon a time there was an artist. He loved to draw, but his eyesight was weak and he had to wear glasses. One day a man came to him in the evening and brought him a sketch. “I want,” he says, “such a picture.” The artist looked at the sketch and said that he could complete the order by tomorrow evening. He went to bed peacefully, but in the morning, the trouble is, he couldn’t find his glasses. And you need to paint a picture! Then the artist decided to depict everything from memory. P…
Game "Wild Cat"
When the guys want to warm up and shout, you can offer them this noisy game. For her, you need to choose one driver. He steps aside and turns away. After this, one of the players says “Meow!” Moreover, he can do this with any intonation, and it’s better to even scream like a wild cat. Then the presenter turns to face everyone, and meanwhile the players begin to make faces, run around the room, lie on the floor, in general, do whatever they want, but at the same time shouting “Meow!”
The presenter’s task is to guess who initially shouted “Meow!” Not only did this player shout in a voice that was not his own, but also the “pack wild cats", running around the room and screaming, does not allow you to concentrate.
You can complicate the game a little by agreeing that if the presenter doesn’t guess “ wild cat", then one of the forfeits will have to perform. The children themselves will come up with them and write them on pieces of paper, which they will then put in a small box. It is important that when choosing his forfeit, the presenter did not look into the box.
Game "Two Concerts"
For those who like to make noise, and all children love to make noise, you can offer such a competition.
One driver is selected, who is escorted into the next room or he simply turns away. Meanwhile, the remaining participants are divided into two teams (possibly unequal), and each comes up with a well-known song.
After this, the presenter is invited back, and at his sign (wave of his hand), each team begins to sing their song as loudly as possible. Eventually both songs merge and it becomes quite difficult to understand who is singing what. However, the presenter must try to guess both.
If he succeeds, then he can choose a new driver himself, and if not, then he remains the driver or fulfills the phantom planned by the guys in advance.
Competition “What is this item for?”
This game has two options: you can split into teams, or you can play in turns. The rules are quite simple: some ordinary household item is called, and the players try to find as many serious and humorous uses for it as possible. You cannot repeat or skip a move; in both cases the player is eliminated.
For example, the word “chair” was said. You can choose the following application options:
1) You can sit on it;
2) Can be used instead of a table;
3) They can be used to defend themselves;
4) If you add walls, you can get a doghouse;
5) It can be given as a gift, etc.
This game ends only when the players' imagination runs out.
Competition "The food is served"
This game comes up quite often. For it you will need 1 pack of crispy chocolate balls, such as Nesquik, a plate and a disposable spoon. The game involves two people, but you can also arrange a competition between teams. Then you need to prepare as many plates and spoons as there are teams.
So, pour the balls into a plate. Participants sit in front of the plate, opposite each other. One of them has a spoon. You announce that now the guys will take turns feeding each other with these delicious balls, BUT, to feed, you need to hold the spoon with your teeth, not your hands, and your hands should be hidden behind your back.
The game is very interesting and funny. The balls wake up and roll across the floor, but it's not scary, because... immediately after this game, you immediately announce the next one, “Sparrows”. And the task of this game is to collect all the balls from the floor. Whoever collects the most wins. I guarantee the floor will be clean.
Game "Sandwich Parade"
Sandwiches, what scope for imagination, especially for children! It's simple. Slice the bread, you can lightly fry the bread preparations, then the sandwiches will be called “canapés”.
Prepare chopped vegetables and fruits, eggs, cheese, sausage, ham, pieces of boiled chicken, crab sticks, green pea, open a jar of sprat, etc. You can use anything you like as a sandwich mass. Prepare mayonnaise, sour cream or butter for the bottom layer of sandwiches...
