Contests for children's birthday

A real children's holiday is always different from an adult. Traditional feast with an abundance of dishes and drinks - not for kids who prefer active pastime. And, of course, such a holiday should be fun. And the parents of the birthday boy should take care of this in advance. You can invite an animator or a clown or make a holiday scenario yourself.

Exciting games and competitions - this is what you need to celebrate the children 's birthday at home. Entertainment for children you can come up yourself or choose from the options below. But be sure to take into account the age category of the guests, because the fact that for three-year-olds will be interesting, a 12-year-old teen will cause only boredom.

As a rule, children 1-2 years old do not participate in joint games, and they should not offer any children's competitions. But this does not mean that the holiday was not a success! After all, small guests always come with their parents, which means you just need to involve their mothers and dads.

Remember also that you should not include in the scenario of the holiday a lot of competitions, it's better to alternate dynamic games with light snacks, and instead of a feast to offer children a buffet meal.

Variants of contests for children's birthday

  1. The smallest guests will like the game "Teremok". Two adults pull a small blanket about a meter above the floor, and all children hide under it. Then comes the "bear" (for this you will need a suit or at least a mask of a bear) and pretends that now he will crush the house. Children with a squeal run up and require repetition.
  2. Competition-relay race with stickers is as follows. At one end of the room, it is necessary to place a little sheet of the paper on the vertical plane. On the other hand - at the start - to build two teams of children, giving them large bright stickers with characters from different cartoons (for example, "Cars" and "Masha and the Bear"). Children take one sticker and race to the paper to race them. The team wins, the players of which will quickly paste all their stickers, but the essence of the game is solely in raising the mood of all the participants. Therefore, all players can give incentive prizes.
  3. The contest "Who draws better?" Is very exciting. For him you will need markers and lined sheets of paper. The presenter for a minute calls different words meaning objects or animals (nut, cat, suitcase, grass, giraffe), and participants must schematically depict each of them (but not letters!), And every word is given literally a few seconds. At the end of a minute, everyone starts to disassemble their scrawls, remembering what was portrayed. Who will guess the maximum number of given words, he won.
  4. Competition "Our Tanya loudly cries" will amuse both children and adults. Guys should take turns to go to the improvised stage and tell this famous poem, imitating various situations, when:

The winner is the one whose declamation was recognized as the most ridiculous.

  • A popular game called "I'm a Hero" is more suitable if the birthday girl and his guests have already turned 10 years old. So, each player writes on the self-adhesive sheet of paper the name or the name of the character (it can be a fairy-tale hero, the name of an animal, a popular actor or a musician) and pastes this piece of paper on his neighbor's forehead. All the players sit in a circle and in turn ask leading questions, trying to guess what name of the hero he got. Only "yes" or "no" answers are allowed. The winner is the one who first guessed the hero's name, and then the game continues.
  • Besides those listed, there are still a lot of different contests that will help you have a fun birthday party for your child's holiday.
