Draw a string around the houses and place all the children in them, except one. They will play the role of kids. The kids live together and often run to visit each other. And a gray wolf wanders around - one and the players. He tries to catch the kid outside the house. A kid who is caught becomes a wolf. The game continues until everyone is a wolf.

"Cold-hot." This game seems very mysterious to a 5 year old.

The presenter quietly hides the toy (dinosaur). According to the presenter, “cold - warm - hot,” the children guess where to look for the toy. The game continues until everyone plays the role of a seeker. The found toy is a prize to the player who found it.

Guess the Beast is a fun game.

Children are blindfolded and given a soft toy. You need to guess who it is. The game needs to be started by an adult who will deliberately think for a long time, twist, twirl and incorrectly call the hare a bear. Children will laugh and the game will take on a comic character. The game continues until each child plays the role of a guesser.

"Mouse Concert" is an entertaining game.

And then the children will take turns demonstrating their talents on behalf of the mouse.

Don't Crush the Egg is a funny game. It promotes the development of memory, attention and caution.

A piece of any fabric that represents a road is placed on the floor. On this road they lay out raw eggs. The player is asked to carefully look at the road along which he must pass and not crush a single egg. While the player is blindfolded, the eggs are quietly removed. So he walks very carefully to the end of the road, and when the bandage is removed, the player and all the children laugh.

"Horned". The game requires concentration and attention.

All children stand in a circle and shake their fists. The presenter says: “He walks, wanders... and when the horned goat speaks,” everyone sticks out their fingers. If the presenter says “the goat is hornless,” then they do not unclench their fists. Whoever makes a mistake is eliminated from the game and helps the presenter look for violators.

"It's in the Hat" is a musical game.

A beautiful hat is put on any of the children standing in a circle. Turn on the music. The child in the hat turns around and puts the hat on the neighbor on the left (clockwise). When the music stops, the one wearing the hat leaves the game, sits down at the sweet table and waits for the others.

For the birthday of a child 5-6 years old

About Answer “yes” to everything, nesmeyanu, mummy, mirror, etc. And today I have prepared some more fun activities.

"Basketball" is a game for a group of children.

Attach a wire ring to the wall at a height convenient for this age. The ball will serve balloon. The presenter explains to the children two rules of the game: the ball should not fall to the floor and it should not be held in their hands. The ball can be tossed and hit towards the ring. Whoever makes the most hits in the ring will receive a prize - a chocolate candy, the rest of the players will receive a caramel.

"Images".

Lay out cards with birds and animals depicted on them. The player approaches the table, takes a card and tries to portray with various movements and facial expressions the person who is drawn on it. The player who first guesses the image becomes the leader and the game continues.

“It's boring for us to sit” is a simple game for physical development.

Chairs are placed against the wall of the room for all children. There is one less chair placed against the opposite wall. Everyone sits down and reads the poem:

Oh, how boring it is for us to sit and look at the wall. Isn't it time to go for a run and change places?

At the leader’s command “start”, all players rush to the opposite wall and try to take a place. The one who is left without a chair is out of the game. Then another chair is removed. The game continues until the winner takes the last remaining chair. He is given a large ball (or something else), the rest of the players are given small balls.

Jenga is a board game that develops dexterity, fine motor skills and coordination.

This game is sold in a toy store. A tower of 18 levels is built from 54 multi-colored wooden blocks. To do this, the blocks are folded in threes and the resulting layers are laid on top of each other, one across the other. A cardboard guide will help you level the tower.

This game is best suited for 4 children. You can play with two or more players. They take turns throwing a die, each side of which has a color indicated on it. Now the player with only one hand needs to pull out a block of the same color from the tower and put it on top in order to continue construction. You cannot take blocks from the unfinished top layer and the layer below it. The player who destroyed the tower is considered the loser and the game continues.

"Nonsense" is a cool game.

Take a double (from the middle) notebook sheet of paper and two pens or two pencils. Two players sit at opposite ends of the table and draw, covering the drawing with their hand, someone’s head (a person, a dog, a hare, a cat, a goat). Then they bend the leaf so that the design is not visible, but only the neck is visible, and pass it to the second player. He draws the body (of a hare, a hedgehog, a person, a bear, a dog). He also folds the paper over to cover the drawing and passes it to the first player to draw someone's legs. Then he closes the drawing and passes it again to the second player, who draws someone’s feet. Now we unfold the drawing and see what happened? Funny and fun.

For children 7,8,9 years old

For entertainment at the birthday party of children 7,8,9 years old, games of a slightly different nature are needed. These children are already elementary school students. They can read and write and play sports. At this age, children begin to feel part of the adult world. I suggest playing the following games with them:

"Bear" is an outdoor game.

One of the players is elected “bear”. He lies down on the floor. The rest pretend to pick mushrooms, pick raspberries around the “bear” and sing:

The bear in the forest has mushrooms and berries, but the bear does not sleep, he looks into both eyes. The basket overturned and the bear rushed after us.

And then the bear rises and catches the fleeing players. Whoever gets caught becomes a bear. Game continues.

"The Third Wheel" is a musical game.

For the game you will need one fewer chairs than there are guests. Both adults and children play. The chairs are placed with their backs facing each other, with their seats facing outwards. The players stand around the seats of the chairs. The host turns on cheerful music, and the players begin to run around the chairs. As soon as the music turns off, the player must sit on any chair. Whoever does not get a chair is eliminated from the game. Another chair is removed, etc. The winner is the remaining one participant.

“Sparrow-Crow” is a game of attention and reaction speed.

Two players sit at the table opposite each other and extend one hand to each other, but the hands should not touch. The presenter gives names to the players: one is “sparrow”, the other is “crow”. The presenter calls the names of the players. The one whose name is called must grab the opponent's hand. For fun, the presenter slowly and syllable-by-syllable says the names vo-rooo-na, vooo-rooo-bey, or maybe say vo-ro-ta. A caught sparrow becomes a crow, and a crow becomes a sparrow. Game continues.

The Chamomile game is a fun game.

A chamomile is made from white paper with as many petals as there will be guests. Write funny tasks on the back of each petal. Children take turns tearing off one petal at a time and begin to perform the task: dance, crow, sing songs, recite poems, tongue twisters, etc.

"Knowledge" is an educational game.

All children sit on chairs in one row. The host announces the theme of the game, for example, cities. Then he approaches the player sitting on the edge, names any city and gives him a ball. The player must quickly name any city and give the ball to his neighbor. Whoever could not name the city leaves the game. Then the topic changes: fruits, flowers, countries, rivers, names. Game continues.

These games are suitable for children 10–12 years old

"Smart and Cheerful Engine" is an intellectual game.

The presenter (adult) asks each player one question. For example, which scientist did an apple fall on his head? (to Newton). Which of the heroes fought with the Serpent Gorynych? (Nikitich). In which hemisphere Globe do penguins live? (in Yuzhny), etc. If the player answers the question correctly, then he becomes a carriage of a smart locomotive. If the player cannot answer, then he can take a hint for a certain service: sing, recite a poem, dance, portray an animal.

The funny little train must gather all the players and the children in the carriages will sing a funny song.

"Fishermen and Fishes" is an active game.

From all the players, two fishermen are chosen, and the rest of the players are fish. They dance in a circle and sing:

Fish live in the water, They don’t have a beak, but they peck. They have wings, but they don’t fly, They don’t have legs, but they walk. Nests are not made, but babies are hatched.

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 hole cards 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.

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.

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.

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.

An entertainment program is a mandatory attribute of any children's party. Fun competitions for a birthday for children 5-6 years old with prizes the birthday boy and guests of the celebration will definitely like. Outdoor games and amazing adventures in fantasy competitions will unite the children and leave an indelible impression of the holiday.

All children who are present at the festival participate in the competition. To carry it out, you need to prepare an improvised screen by making a cut in the fabric a little more than 10 centimeters. This fabric needs to be attached to a box with an opening bottom (so that you can change items in it).

The children's task is to put their hand into the box through the slot and guess by touch what fruit is in it. You can hide an orange, banana, strawberry, apple, peach, etc. After the participant has identified the fruit, he can pull out his hand along with the contents.

After the competition, you can take out fruit slices for the children.

Game "Birthday Card"

Each animal must be named to several children.

5 years – the first anniversary in your baby’s life has arrived! The child already feels old enough to celebrate this holiday not only with relatives, but also to invite friends to visit him.

Organizing such an event at home requires some preparations:

The holiday should begin by creating an atmosphere of intrigue and unity for the entire company of little guests. This game is good for this "New name".

It is necessary to cut out cards in advance from bright paper in the form of the birthday boy’s favorite heroes and hide them in one of the rooms. After this, invite all the children to the secret room and give them a certain time to search for cards. As soon as each participant has found a card, we move on to the second part of this game. The leader throws the ball in a circle, accompanied by the question: “What is your name?” You need to say not your real name, but fairy tale hero, depicted on the card of each owner. For the rest of the evening, each child turns into this hero and should be addressed only by his new name.

If the group of children is dominated by girls, then it is better to replace the car with toy carriages.

"Palms as a gift"

Take a large sheet of paper (A1 format), colored markers and seat the children around the entire perimeter of the sheet. Each child must trace their palms and decorate them at their own discretion. Upon completion of the children’s joint creativity, the presenter asks all children to sign this picture. In the center of the canvas they write the date of the celebration, accompanied by the words: “In 15 years, all the creators of this masterpiece should gather for the next anniversary of the birthday boy and circle their palms again.”

"Gourmet Competition"

Each child in turn is blindfolded and asked to open his mouth. Then put a piece of fruit or berry in your mouth. The assortment should be varied - chocolate, bananas, marmalade, strawberries, oranges and more. The main condition is that the pieces must be small and they must be placed in the child’s mouth very carefully so that the child does not get scared or choke. The baby must taste what it is. Find out your children's dessert preferences in advance and be sure to take into account the wishes of their parents. Everyone who guesses correctly receives the same fruit or candy they guessed as a prize.

"Mini Balloon Launch Championship"

You will need several balloons with a whistle. All children line up along the wall, inflate the balloons as much as possible (if one of the kids does not succeed, then you can involve your parents in inflating the balloon). At the leader's command, the balls are released. Whose ball flies the furthest is the winner. You can compete in this competition until parents get tired of the polyphonic squeaking of the balloons.

"Mystery Balls"

Parents need to write riddles on small pieces of paper, roll them into tubes and put them inside balloons. First, the children need to destroy the air bombs (the same balls in which we put the riddles). You can encourage children in this process: “We are not afraid of these broads, we can easily neutralize them with our butts and solve all the riddles in order to move on!” After you have managed to extract the notes from the balls, the presenter begins to read riddles to the children, and they guess together.

"A Bee in a Flower Meadow"

For this competition, mom needs to sew several floral hats. For example, from cotton wool - dandelion; made of blue satin - a bell; from white chintz - chamomile; from red satin - a rose. Making a bee hat will require the most work. The best thing for this is a deep knitted hat; sew wings and antennae on top. The hat must cover the child's eyes. The game is built on the principle of blind man's buff. First, they put a bee hat on the birthday boy, spin him around and let him go in search of flowers. When a bee catches a flower, she must guess from the headdress what kind of flower it is. Then the bee and the caught flower exchange their caps. And again the bee leads.

“Tell my little mirror, and show me the whole truth...”

A presenter is selected from among the children, whose task in this competition is to show various intricate figures and grimaces. The rest of the children must copy his movements exactly. It is important that every child try themselves in the role of “Mirror”. This competition develops acting skills in children and helps fight the child’s shyness.

"If it is not …"

This game develops associative thinking in children. An object is selected and passed around the circle with the words: “If it’s not a ball, then it’s the sun.” The next child continues the relay race with the toy and adds one more guess to the previously stated option: “If this is not a ball or the sun, then it is an orange!” In this way, the transfer of the toy continues until it passes the entire circle. Children list everything that this object looks like. The participant who could not find the next word is eliminated.

“Matryoshka with gifts for the whole company”

A few days before the event, take a few boxes different sizes and paint them with the children. Then place favors for all the children in the smallest box. Put the small box in the box a little bigger size and so on, using the matryoshka principle, place all the boxes in the largest one. On the appointed day of the celebration, sit all the children in a circle and, to the music, begin passing around a huge gift box-matryoshka. When the music stops, the child, who at that moment has the box in his hands, opens it and finds a smaller box there. The music sounds again and the children pass the next box around in a circle until the music stops. In this way, the game continues until the children reach the smallest box with gifts for the whole company.

The best way to end the celebration is with a traditional loaf of bread!

Fun games and competitions for a 5 year old child’s birthday:

Fanta

We read it out for each guest in turn. comic tasks. Guests perform them in turn.
Tower. For this game you will need wooden cubes, and more of them. Children take turns placing cube on cube. Thus, we get a high pyramid-tower. The player loses, after whose die the tower still cannot stand it and falls.

Little mice and cat

While the music is playing, the little mice run and dance, as soon as the music dies down, the leader, the cat, goes hunting, and the little mice must sit on a chair as quickly as possible. Whoever did not have time to sit down becomes the leader along with the cat.

Traffic light

All children stand near the wall. The leader - the traffic light - names any color. Those children who have the named color in their clothes calmly cross, those who do not have it must cross the road, and the leader tries to hit them with the ball. The child who is hit with the ball becomes a traffic light himself.

Wave

Children must have time to run under the cloth that the leader is waving so that the cloth does not hit them.

Confused charging

The presenter shows the movements and at the same time names others. The children's task is to repeat only what he shows. More difficult option- repeat what he calls.
Warm-cold. A toy is hidden in the room, secret from the child. The child must find the toy. The rest of the participants should guide the child, prompting: “Warm”, “Cold”.

The sea is agitated once. The presenter turns away from the other participants, who are dancing to the music, imitating waves, and says loudly:
“The sea is agitated once,
The sea is worried two
The sea is worried three,
The naval figure, freeze in place!”

At this moment, players must freeze in the position in which they find themselves. The leader turns, walks around all the players and examines the resulting figures. Whoever is the first to move is eliminated from the game and becomes a “supervisor” - he helps the presenter find those who have moved.

Guess the word

The driver thinks of an object on a topic discussed in advance (furniture, animals, a holiday, etc.), and the players must guess what kind of object it is by asking questions to which the driver answers yes or no. Whoever guesses the word becomes the leader.

Balloon volleyball

The game requires two teams. Chairs are placed at a distance of one meter opposite each other, on which the players sit. The floor is divided with a rope in the middle between the teams. Children play volleyball. The ball must fly over the rope; players must not get up from their chairs or pick up the ball. You can only push the ball away. If the ball lands on the opponent's territory, the team gets a point. The game goes to 15 points.
