And the competitions held for a whole company of children will definitely appeal to every child. Acting as an animator, you will help children cope with tasks and solve various kinds of tasks. We are pleased to offer you various contests for children's day births that will please both children and adults. Our competitions are intended for children from 6 to 12 years old - at this age the child is most active and mobile, and is also ready to learn and absorb new information.

• Contests can be very different - moving, mental, in the form of quizzes or puzzles. Some competitions do not require additional equipment, while others will require you to purchase everything you need.
• The main thing that should be observed when holding children's competitions is not to let children feel superfluous.

  Each child should be involved in the game process, do not let anyone sit idle.

  While some are competing, ask others to cheer on the players and cheer for them.

Let's get acquainted

It happens that in the company at home holidays there are children who are unfamiliar with each other. How to make friends? Of course, by offering to play, then no one will have any embarrassment.

Children hold hands and stand in a circle. Inside the circle is the birthday man or the chosen leader. All children, on command or to the soundtrack of a cheerful children's song, begin to move in a circle in right side. The birthday boy goes to the left, facing the guests. On the command "stop" or on a pause in the music, all children stop. The birthday boy gets acquainted with the child who was opposite him. The game is repeated as many times as there are children in the circle so that the hero of the occasion can get to know everyone. An adult stops the music and says “stop” at the moments of meeting with still unfamiliar children.

If all the children know each other, this game can be played in a different way. Everyone who stops at a signal in front of the birthday boy congratulates him, compliments him.

Formula 1

Two sticks (you can use pencils) are tied with a rope of the same length (3-4 meters). A typewriter is tied to the free ends of the ropes. The "finish" in front of which both players stand can be marked with a ribbon or drawn with chalk.

The rest command: "One, two three, start!" Two players begin to quickly wind the strings around the pencils. Whose car crosses the finish line first, he won.

Then the next pair compete. The winners advance to the semifinals and compete against each other. The champion is awarded a "super prize".

Vanya - simplicity

This children's folk game "Vanya-simplicity" is suitable for a company in which there are no more than five children, and the room is spacious enough.

Children stand up as a “train”, that is, one after another, putting their hands on the shoulders of the person in front. They begin to follow the leader, "Vanya". At the same time, they say: "Vanya, Vanya-simplicity, I bought a horse without a tail." At the words “he sat down backwards and went to the garden,” everyone moves in the opposite direction, back to front. Then they stop and say: “One, two, three, catch!” After that, the children scatter in different directions, and "Vanya" catches the players.

Instead of the name "Vanya", the name of the child standing first should be called. For example, "Sasha-simplicity". When the game is repeated, the next child becomes the driver (Misha, Misha-simplicity).

hostess

Two or three people participate in the competition. It is necessary to disassemble into separate piles peas, beans and beans mixed in a cup, or beads of two or three types, or pasta - feathers, horns and shells. You can offer such a mixture to each player in his own, separate container. These can be cups or salt shakers of the same size. Then the winner is the one who first sorts out all the contents of his bowl.

If there are no three identical small vessels, you can mix everything in one large cup, put the players around it and give them a certain time. Whoever has more piles on the table in the allotted time (no more than three minutes!) Will win.

Try to guess

An adult invites children to guess how many nuts or sweets are in a transparent jar. Or how much (what length, height) this toy weighs. Or on which page there is a bookmark in a book, if there are so many pages in it. Determine by touch what is in this bag. Or guess what is in a closed box that cannot be opened, but you can take it, shake it, turn it over, etc.

Children express their opinions. Whoever guesses or whose answer is closer to the truth is given this box, a jar along with the contents, a book or a toy as a prize.

Naturally, when preparing the material, an adult himself carefully counts, measures, weighs it and remembers the correct answer.

Take a chair

Every child except one comes out with their own chair. The chairs form a circle. There is space between the chairs so that a person can easily pass.

The leader turns on the music, or rings a tambourine, or rhythmically strikes his hands. The children walk around the chairs. As soon as the sounds stop, each player tries to take any chair. The one who did not have enough space is out of the game.

They remove one more chair, and if there are a lot of players, then two or three chairs at once.

The game continues until one of the two most dexterous children is on the last remaining chair. He is a winner.

greedy

For this competition you need a lot of balls or balloons. Compete from two to four participants. Each of them tries to collect and hold as many named items as possible.

You can make the task more difficult. Each player is given three attempts, for which he must take and transfer as many balls as possible to his corner.

Whoever succeeded is declared the main ... greedy. If you feel that this can offend a child, and not make him laugh, do not say this word! The prize is awarded to the winner in any case.

Who will be lucky?

The children split into twos and stand up two by two. Couples raise clasped hands. All couples alternately run forward into the formed gate from behind. Thus, each last pair, having run between all the children, becomes the first for a while.

All couples together gradually move back so as not to go beyond the space allotted for the game. It is desirable that the game is accompanied by cheerful music.

The driver stands in front of the players with his back to them. It can be a parent, a character, or a birthday person. He has several paired prizes, for example: two pens, two markers, two lollipops, two bookmarks, two notebooks, etc.

When the driver says "stop!", the players (and the music) stop. The driver, without turning around, says: “This pair of chocolates!” Then he turns and gives the couple who was at that moment directly behind him (that is, the first couple) sweet prizes. The couple that next time will be ahead by the word “stop!” May get notebooks or bookmarks.

The game is played until the driver runs out of prizes. It is possible that some pairs of prizes will not get it at all, and some - two or three times. Here's how lucky anyone is!

Mission Dance

Children dance randomly to their favorite music. The leader from time to time shouts out command words that the dancers must immediately execute. For example, the leader may ask everyone to continue the dance in pairs or threes, go in a chain or snake for the birthday boy, then change into a round dance, etc.

Let's congratulate the song

The birthday boy walks out the door. The guests choose which song they will perform for him. For example, they decide to sing the refrain from Gena the Crocodile Song.

All participants must say one word from this song, and at the same time. Therefore, they agree on who and what particular word from the selected song will speak. If there are a lot of children, then they are divided into groups, each of which is assigned its own word.

It is necessary to exclaim in unison, on command (for example, by waving a hand). Some shout “unfortunately”, others (at the same time) - “day”, others - “birth”, fourth - “only”, etc.

Upon returning, the birthday boy must guess what song the guests want to sing for him. If he guessed correctly, then he listens with pleasure or sings this song along with the guests.

If the song is not guessed the first time, then with a wave of the organizer's hand, the words are repeated again. Thus, the hero of the occasion is given a second chance to hear and guess the song, and congratulators - finally sing it, to the delight of themselves and the birthday man.

On the new year holiday Santa Claus or the Snow Maiden can leave the hall, and the children, divided into three teams, shout out the words “in the forest”, “born” and “herringbone”. On March 8, dad and children can sing their favorite song for mom in the same way.

Birthday

The guests walk in a round dance to the right. Inside the circle, the birthday boy moves to the left. He sentences or sings (arbitrary melody):

I'll go round and round

I'll find a couple.

Come on, Olenka (Sashenka) - my friend,

Join the circle with me!

The birthday boy brings the selected child into the circle. Further, the game can develop in three different ways.

First option

"Druzhochek" together with the birthday boy dance in a circle, and other children clap. Later, they, too, can join in the dance.

Second option

The birthday boy and the guest dance together in a circle. Then each of them invites a new partner. Now two couples are dancing in a circle. Then each of these four chooses another “friend”, and in the middle four couples are already dancing. And so on until all the children are invited to the dance.

Third option

The birthday boy ends his text with these words:

We are with you now to drive,

Let's start catching everyone!

The game turns into "catch-up". The birthday boy with the "friend" catch the rest of the children. Players scatter, but freeze in place or leave and sit down if the drivers touched them.

The birthday boy and the "friend" can arrange a competition among themselves who will catch the most players. In this case, each child caught goes to the side assigned to the driver who caught him.

Find and name

If the holiday is held in a cramped room full of furniture, where there is no opportunity to play outdoor games, you can give the guests of the birthday boy the task of finding as many words in the room as possible for the same letter. The letter is indicated by the birthday man, opening his favorite book on some page.

Or they are looking for items that begin with the same letter as the name of the hero of the occasion. For example, for Sasha they will call words starting with the letter “c” (glass, wall, chair, candle, salad). And for Katya, they will pick up words starting with the letter “k” (book, armchair, cat, baby, ketchup, fireplace). The winner is the participant who named more words by one letter.

cat and mice

The driver is a “cat” (you can tie a bow around your neck), the rest of the participants are “mice”. "Cat" sits on a chair and pretends to be asleep. The “mice” carefully, on tiptoes, move around the room around the cat or in all directions and say, at first very quietly, then louder and louder:

Tra-ta-ta, tra-ta-ta,

We are not afraid of the cat.

We are a cooing cat

Let's turn the gate!

"Cat" wakes up, meows and catches up with mice. Touching the "cat" during the "sleep" is prohibited!

Bread

Russian folk needle

Children are divided into two teams. In each of them, the players are equally divided, and they stand one behind the other. Teams line up in a straight line facing each other. It is desirable that the distance between the teams was large enough.

In the center of the playground, on the same line with the teams, strictly in the middle between them, one child crouches. This is "bread". He is chosen by a counting rhyme in advance.

All players, except for "bread", begin to pronounce the words in unison:

That's how tall

(raise hands up)

That's how wide

(spread arms out to sides)

Cut and eat!

(clap their hands for "cut")

After the clap, the first players of both teams break away from their seats and try to be the first to run and touch the “bread”. The player who succeeded takes the “bread” and takes it to his team. They stand behind the rest of the players. The less successful player of the opposing team himself becomes the "bread" and sits in his place.

The game is repeated. The same words are spoken again in chorus and the same actions are performed, but now the next players of both teams (now they are the first) compete for "bread".

The game ends when all members of both teams compete with each other. The team with the most players wins. This means that they often took away “bread” for themselves.

This game doesn't have a winner, it's just a lot of fun. To carry it out, you will need a few 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 folded into a large box that needs to be closed, leaving a hole so that you can stick your hand in and get any thing.

Competition "Elusive Apple"

To play this game, you can call several players at once. In front of them, at the level of the mouth, hang small apples by the stalks (their diameter should be about 15 cm). Each player must put his hands behind his back and, on command, begin to eat an apple suspended in front of him. And since you can’t use your hands, it’s even difficult to catch an apple. The winner is the one who first turns his fruit into a core.

If the guys are not afraid to get wet, you can not hang the apples, but place them in small bowls of water. In this case, the players will also have to catch the apple in the water without using their hands. At the same time, 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 start of the game, the host tells a short story: “Once upon a time there was an artist. He was very fond of drawing, but only his eyesight was weak, and he had to wear glasses. Somehow a man came to him in the evening and brought 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 sleep peacefully, and in the morning, that's the trouble, he just can't find his glasses. A picture needs to be painted! 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 that, one of the players says "Meow!" moreover, he can do this with any intonation, and it is better even to scream like a wild cat. Then the leader turns to face everyone, and in the meantime, the players begin to grimace, run around the room, lie on the floor, in general, do whatever they want, but at the same time shouting “Meow!”.

The task of the presenter is to guess who originally shouted “Meow!”. Not only did this player not scream with his own voice, but also the “flock of wild cats” running around the room and screaming did not allow him to concentrate.

You can complicate the game a little by agreeing that if the host does not guess the “wild cat”, then one of the forfeits will have to be performed. The children themselves will come up with them and write them on pieces of paper, which they then lower into a small box. It is important that when choosing his phantom, the presenter did not look into the box.

Game "Two Concerts"

For those who like to make noise, and all children like to make noise, we 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 conceives a famous song.

After that, the leader is invited back, and at his sign (a wave of the hand), each team begins to sing their song as loudly as possible. As a result, both songs merge, and it becomes quite difficult to understand who sings what. However, the host should 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 made 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 turn. The rules are quite simple: some most common household item is named, and the players try to find as many serious and comic uses for it as possible. It is impossible to repeat and skip a move, in both cases the player is eliminated.

For example, the word "chair" was said. It can be used in the following ways:
1) You can sit on it;
2) Can be used instead of a table;
3) They can defend themselves;
4) If you add walls, you can get a dog house;
5) It can be given as a gift, etc.

This game ends only when the imagination of the players runs out.

Competition "Dine served"

This game is quite common. For her, you will need 1 pack of crispy chocolate balls, such as Nasquik, a plate and a disposable spoon. The game involves two, but you can arrange a competition between teams. Then you need to cook as many plates and spoons as there are teams.

So, put the balls on the plate. In front of the plate, the participants sit opposite each other. One of them has a spoon. You announce that now the guys will take turns feeding each other these delicious balls, BUT, you need to feed, holding the spoon with your teeth, not your hands, and at the same time, your hands should be hidden behind your back.

The game is very interesting and funny. The balls wake up and roll on the floor, but this is 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. Who collect more, he won. I guarantee the floor will be clean.

Sandwich Parade game

Sandwiches, what scope for imagination, especially for children! Everything is simple. Cut the bread, you can lightly fry the bread blanks, then the sandwiches will be called "canapes".

Prepare chopped vegetables and fruits, eggs, cheese, sausage, ham, pieces of boiled chicken, crab sticks, green pea, open a jar of sprats, etc. As a sandwich mass, you can use anything you like, to your taste. Prepare mayonnaise, sour cream or butter for the bottom layer of the sandwich…

The most common form of entertainment at children's parties are contests.

They allow you to relieve tension and stiffness, make children more liberated. Most often, after competitions, the guys become more sociable and friendly.

It is not always possible to organize a celebration for children on outdoors. Therefore, parents often wonder how safe it is to hold contests indoors. To prevent injury to children during play, adults should be sure to remove all furniture with sharp corners, as well as all glass objects. To hold a competition at home, the premises need to be cleared as much as possible.

There are a huge number of competition options. They use a variety of things. It is this factor that affects the total cost of the competition. Some of them (intellectual) are organized without additional things at all, respectively, do not require any costs.

It will take a lot of time to prepare competitions for children. On average, this figure is from 3 to 6 hours. The most difficult are prepared even for several days. This is due to the fact that during the preparation you need to find a room, prepare and decorate it, write a script, draw up a budget, purchase the necessary items for the competition, etc.

At the age of 11, the child begins to grow up. By this age, he had accumulated a sufficient store of knowledge. Right now, for the first time, he has a conscious desire to appear as an independent adult, to stand out from the crowd. All this must be taken into account when preparing the competition.

Try to guess

Glue a piece of paper on the back of one child with any word (TV for example), he does not know what is glued on his back for the word.

Birthday contests on the street and at home

It is preferable to hold competitions for fresh air. A house or apartment does not always have the required area. small room will constrain the actions of children, so the rivalry may not turn out to be fair.

If there is no way to take the children out into nature, then on the eve of the birthday, you need to prepare the most big room in the House. All furniture should be removed from it so that there is more free space.

In advance, you need to lay out all the things that the host will need for the competition. To do this, you can put a round table in the corner of the room and close it with a screen from prying eyes. You can also put a music center or a laptop with speakers there.

Competitions in nature will be much more interesting. The stop itself is conducive to joy and fun. It has been noticed that if the game is played outdoors, children are more willing to take part in it.

For competitions, you can use a variety of sports equipment that cannot be used at home: badminton, volleyball or soccer ball, tennis rackets, etc. Naturally, the direction of competitions is changing: most often they acquire a sporting character. These competitions are suitable for children of all ages.

What to look for when holding competitions

First of all, it is necessary to clearly define which age group will take part in the competition. When children of the same age play, then it is much easier, because they have the same interests.

1. If the guys are of different ages, it is important to consider whether a particular competition will be of interest to everyone present.
2. Holding children's competition, as mentioned above, requires a lot of free space.
3. The organizers should take care in advance about where the holiday will take place.
4. You should also take into account the nature and personal characteristics of each invited child. If for the most part the children are not active, there is no need to include sports competitions in the script. In this case, intellectual competitions are suitable.

When a child is 11 years old, he wants to show his individuality by all means. Competitions should be based on this. They should be aimed at creating a close-knit and friendly atmosphere in the team, and in no way hint at the child’s incompetence or inability.
