Interesting birthday contests for children are a must-have attribute of a modern holiday. Boring gatherings with eating cakes and not understanding what to do with your free time are long gone.

Many parents invite friends to the birthday party and try to add a touch of creativity to the children's party. To help moms and dads - tips on organizing a celebration, a description of birthday competitions for boys and girls, for kids and older children.

What competitions can you organize? How to interest children?

Professional animators give advice:

• take into account the age of the guests, select tasks that the birthday boy and friends can easily cope with;
• prepare more props: children love to dress up, change clothes, draw, turn into fairy-tale characters;
• alternate calm activities with fun relay races;
• find out more about your son or daughter’s friends, ask about their preferences;
• a win-win option - a themed party with original costumes;
• refuse competitions in which participants will feel awkward (humiliated). Do not allow the results of competitions to create a division between stupid and smart, quiet people and activists, incompetents and jacks of all trades. Entertainment should cause joy and laughter, not ridicule;
• prepare prizes. The main thing: attention, not the price of the gift. The reward must be age appropriate;
• think over two or three competitions in which there are no winners: all children receive gifts for participation. Required for children aged 3–4 years;
• invite all young guests to participate;
• prepare a script, write on a piece of paper the names of the competitions, a brief description so that you can easily navigate what task to offer;
• come up with entertainment taking into account the size of the room. If there is not too much space, if possible, remove excess furniture, unnecessary things, and fragile decor on the day of the holiday. It is easier to hold sports competitions in a large room: take advantage of this.

Advice! Be sure to consult with your child. Of course, the holiday should be a surprise, but many children are happy to participate in organizing the celebration and offer interesting solutions. Make props together and think through competitions. Don't scoff if your child's suggestions seem naive or too simple. If your son or daughter is sure that their friends will be delighted, include the task on the list.

Quiet competitions

Immediately after a tasty treat, you should not run or jump. Offer your guests quizzes, imagination tasks, writing funny poems and original fairy tales. When choosing tasks, consider how old the birthday person and guests are. The presenter is mom or dad, it is better if both parents participate.

Acquaintance

The competition is suitable for children of all ages. The task will allow guests to get comfortable and feel less shy, especially if the company is made up of children who don’t know each other well. Often a child invites friends from the yard, preschoolers/classmates. A simple task will help you get to know each other.

The presenter asks the children who wear blue to stand up and tell them a little about themselves. The guys with yellow, red, green and so on stand up for the loan. Everyone should introduce themselves and say a few phrases.

Don't miss anyone especially if there are more than ten guests.

Find out the subject

For children from 4 years old. Place small gifts in a large bag: candies, apples, cars, dolls, oranges, balls. Anything that is easy to recognize by touch is suitable. The children take turns approaching the bag, lower their hands, and try to figure out what item they got. The guessed item remains with the participant as a prize.

Cheerful artist No. 1

Competition for children 3 - 4 years old. Each guest receives a piece of paper, markers, and pencils. The task is to draw an animal familiar to everyone, for example, a bear cub or a hare. Everyone gets prizes. Prize categories: Funniest, Most neat, Most original, Drew the fastest, and so on.

Playing artist #2

For children from 3 years old, the game is more suitable for toddlers. Attach whatman paper to a board or wall. Give the kids finger paints. Each guest draws a gift for the birthday boy - a beautiful flower. Usually kids willingly agree to participate in the competition and draw with enthusiasm.

Are there many children at the birthday party? Give everyone a piece of paper and set aside a table for creativity. Sign the finished drawing, put a date, and hand it to the birthday boy to the applause of the guests.

An unprecedented beast

For children from 6 - 7 years old. The competition develops imagination and originality of thinking. The presenter’s task is to prepare in advance several questions about strange animals that do not exist in nature.

Children must describe the animal if they want, draw it, show what sounds it makes. Usually the guys have fun and willingly fantasize. The main thing is to come up with original animals.

Options:

• What does a frying pan fish look like?
• How much does a hippopotamus fish weigh?
• Where does the musician bird live?
• What kind of wings does a crocodile bird have?
• Who is Murmuryonok?

Word game

A popular game for children over 6 years old must have a festive twist:

• first task. Name the dishes on the table starting with the letter K, then P, then B;
• second task. Which of the guests' names begins with the letter A, S, L;
• third task. What gift can you come up with starting with the letters I, M, K, and so on.

Broken phone

The competition is suitable for children aged 5 years and older. The game has been known for decades, but it cheers up little guests. The more participants, the more unexpected the result, the more fun. Remember the essence: the leader quietly calls the word to the first of the children, who speaks the word in the ear of the second, then to the third, until he reaches the last participant. It is important to speak quickly, not to hold up the line, and not to pronounce every syllable perfectly.

Most often, the word is modified beyond recognition. The funniest results are if the word has 2-4 syllables and is not very “simple”, for example, Murzilka, Krokodilchik, Businka.

Fun competitions

Fun birthday contests are suitable for toddlers and older children. Animators advise holding such games in the middle of the holiday, when the children have gotten to know each other, got used to it, and are no longer shy.

Fashion show

Suitable for children from 8 years old. Prepare a box of clothes and shoes in advance. Anything will do: from light dresses, thin scarves to a fur hat, gloves. Put in a lot of different things. Mandatory attributes for a cheerful mood are wigs made of different materials, horns, ears on a hoop, a fox or bunny tail, belts, suspenders, flippers. If wearing heels, choose a small size with a stable base to avoid falls.

Each of the participants, blindfolded, approaches the box, takes out 5-6 things, gets dressed, and comes up with the name of their model or motto. When all the items are sorted, the fashion show begins. Girls participate more readily in the competition, but boys often do not lag behind them. The more active and relaxed the children are, the more vivid emotions there are.

Miracle chamomile

Game for children from 7 years old. Make a big flower, write a funny task on each petal: portray your favorite singer (one of the animals), crow, sing a song with musical accompaniment (spoons, drums, rattles). Each participant receives a prize.

Funny answers

Children's competition from 7 years old. Prepare sheets with the inscriptions Desert Island, School, Shop, Stadium, Disco, Cinema, Bowling Club. Suitable for Spaceship, Swimming Pool, Cinema, Luna Park, Sea, Zoo, Tall Tree and so on. The more cards the better.

The presenter asks one participant to come out and sit on a chair facing the others. An adult or one of the older children takes turns taking out a new sheet, showing the inscription to the guests, and asking the participant: “What do you usually do in this place?” The discrepancy in answers amuses all the guests. Let several people participate. The presenter always feels when it’s time to end the “survey”; usually, three or four participants are enough.

Young talent

For children from 6 years old. You need a sheet of Whatman paper, a bright felt-tip pen or marker. The presenter offers to draw someone. Children themselves choose the appropriate character: a bear, a man, a hare, a cat, a cartoon character. Don't impose your opinion.

Children close their eyes, you can’t peek. The leader takes the children to the Whatman paper one by one. The task is to draw one detail at a time with your eyes closed. The first participant draws the head, the second - the torso, the third - the legs, and so on.

The competition is not boring, it lifts your spirits well. It often turns out that the head “lives” separately from the body, and the tail grows from the ear. It turns out to be an unprecedented beast or alien. The competition is always fun for children of any age (and adults too). Usually two or three animals are enough.

Fun flight

Game for children from 6 years old. You will need a thick scarf and a balloon. The presenter places a ball on an empty table, brings the participant, lets him remember the location of the object, blindfolds him, and takes him 2-3 steps back. The child turns around a couple of times (not too much, so as not to feel dizzy).

The participant’s task is to blow the ball off the table. Very often, after turning, the child ends up facing the wrong direction and blows into the void. The task is funny, but not offensive to the participant.

Guess the animal

The game is suitable for children 6 - 7 years old. Children are divided into two teams, write the name of the animal on a piece of paper, and pass it to the leader so that their opponents do not see. The first command shows what this animal (bird) is doing with gestures, gait, facial expressions, but does not utter a sound. The second team must guess the animal. Prizes for all participants. Those who could not recognize the animal receive a reward, for example, candy, and the winning team receives a homemade medal “Member of the Club of Experts.”

Porcupine or deer are not very suitable, there should be animals/birds that are easy to recognize.

Outdoor and active games

Is the space large enough to run around? Let the kids warm up. Even in a medium-sized room with a small number of guests, you can organize fun competitions.

At the address, read about the benefits of hematogen for the child’s body.

The biggest soap bubble

For children 5 - 6 years old. The essence is clear from the name. Buy soap bubbles according to the number of guests. Whoever has the most miracle ball wins a prize.

Accurate shooter

Suitable for children from 5 years old. You will need a plastic bucket, small balls, nuts, large Lego pieces, and balls of thread. Place the bucket at a distance of 3-6 steps from the children (take into account the age). The task is to hit the target. Each successful throw is worth 1 point. The one who scored the most points wins. A prize is required, the “Most Accurate” medal.

Catch the Tail

Competition from 6 years old. Play to music with enough space. The presenter ties a rope with a bow at the end and a scarf with a “tail” to each participant’s belt. The task is to catch your opponent by the tail before the other. The winner gets a sweet prize.

Extra chair

For kids from 5 years old. A familiar game always evokes a storm of emotions. A prerequisite is a large room so that there is room to run around.

The essence: guests – 7, chairs – 6. Place the chairs with their backs inward, form a circle. To the music, children walk (run) around the chairs, the music stops - it’s time to take a seat, the late child is eliminated. By the end of the competition, 1 chair and 2 participants remain. The winner will receive a “Most Dexterous” medal + prize.

Unusual volleyball

Game from 7-8 years old. Place 4-5 chairs in a row, after 1 meter place a rope (scarf) on the floor, after another meter - the second row of chairs. It turned out to be a field for playing volleyball.

Essence: Children are divided into 2 teams and take their places. Instead of a ball - a balloon. You need to throw the “ball” onto the opponent’s field without getting up from your chair. The team whose ball flew off the field less often won.

Children's bowling

A fun competition for children from 7 years old. Place 6-8 items on the floor. Plastic pins, balls, and cubes are suitable. Instead of a bowling ball - a plastic bottle (empty). The task is to knock down objects. The distance depends on the size of the room. Remove everything unnecessary from the floor so as not to break or break anything.

Parents often ask what competitions to hold for girls/boys. Most of the proposed tasks are suitable for all children, regardless of gender. Even at a “fashion show”, many boys demonstrate original outfits no worse than young models. It is more important to “stimulate” the children, create a pleasant atmosphere, then all guests will be happy to participate in the competition.

Have you decided to organize a children's party? Arm yourself with advice, select two or three competitions on different topics from each section. Consider the age of young guests, hobbies, character (if there are only 4-5 children), and level of knowledge.

Fairy tales are asked here,

Children paint and stick feathers, the leader helps them. Upon completion of the collective work, they give the drawings to the birthday boy and sit down at the festive table with refreshments.

Let's share interesting ideas for entertaining children at birthday parties - for example, competitions and games - for home or kindergarten. Post any competitions you like, for children of any age.

Game DAC - scratch
The chairs are placed in a circle and the children sit on them. The driver (child) stands in the center. The driver throws the ball to one of the children and says “Tsap” or “Scratch.” On “Tsap” - the child must name the name of his neighbor on the left, on “Tsarap” - on the right.
The leader can put the ball on the floor and say “Scratch-scratch” - at this moment all the children should change places, and the driver should try to take 1 of the vacated seats. Those who do not have enough space become the driver.

Children's competition with chairs
This is a very active competition that is loved by all children. To play you will need chairs - 1 less than the number of players. We turn on the music - while the music is playing, the children run around the chairs (without touching them with their hands); as soon as the music stops, the children must quickly take the chairs. Those who don't have enough are eliminated. Along with it, 1 chair is eliminated! and so on until a winner emerges.

Game "Who has the ball?"
Children stand in a circle, very close to each other. The driver stands in the center of the circle. Children hold their hands behind their backs. To play you will need 1 small ball. Children carefully pass it to each other. The driver's task is to guess who has this ball. He addresses one of the children - “Hands” - the child must put his hands forward, if he has the ball, he becomes the driver. And

Gates
Two players face each other and raise their hands up - this will be the goal.
The remaining players join hands so that a chain is formed.
The gate players read the counting rhyme, and the chain must quickly pass between them.
Counter:
Tra-ta-ta, tra-ta-ta,
We open the gates
Golden Gate.
Hurry up everyone here
Let's skip once
Let's skip two
And for the third time - We won’t let you through.

At this moment, hands drop and the gate closes. Those children who are caught become additional gates. The "Gate" wins if they manage to catch all the players.

Collecting potatoes
Children are divided into 2 teams. You will need 2 spoons, 4 bowls - 2 empty, 2 full of small potatoes (or tangerines) and 4 chairs.
At one end of the room we place empty bowls on chairs, and at two – full of potatoes. The players' task is to quickly transfer the potatoes using a spoon WITHOUT HANDS from a full bowl to an empty one.

What's in the bag?
This game will be interesting for small children. We take several toys - about 8-9 pieces - they should be very different - for example, a cube, a soft toy, dishes - a cup or plate, a doll, a ball, a pencil, a ruler... We show all this to the children, and then put it in an opaque bag. Children must use the bag to guess by touch what is in their hands; if it doesn’t work out, they can let the pen go inside.

See other topics from this section here -

Communication game “Polite Centipede”.

Instructions: the one who stands in front should greet any of you with a song (like this): hello, what is your name? And the one who is being greeted must answer him by singing the word “Hello! I …." and becomes the head of a centipede. The game is repeated until everyone says hello.

Presenter:

Our heroes love fairy tales very much. Help me tell a story? You know. But the letters in my book have been erased, and I will pronounce individual letters to you.

“zhi..by..de..and ba.. and by.. u ni Ku..rya.. Sne.. Ku..ya..not about..a zo... De.. bi.. hwo. . mA..i.. by..and ra… … … . ."

Guess the last word in an unfamiliar text.

The mouse cat...... (bite)

6. The cat got tired of it and they got down to business... (getting down to business)

8. The mouse said: -You and me, we are now with you..... (friends)

Games with balls indoors

For the little ones. Children stand in a circle. The leader stands in the center and holds the balls by a string. He calls the child's name from the circle (or a number if there are children with the same names) and releases the ball. A called child from the circle must catch the ball before it falls to the floor (if the balls are inflated with regular air) or touches the ceiling (if the balls are inflated with helium mixture). If the child catches the ball, then he stands in a circle with it; if not, then he stands in the center of the circle. The rules can be reversed.

For older children.Participants must be able to inflate balloons on their own. A goal is hung on the wall, and each participant is given uninflated balloons. Children stand in one line opposite the target. On the count of one, two, three, participants must inflate the balloons and release them, while trying to hit the target on the wall. Teams can take part in this competition. Each team has its own ball color.

Guessing games:

• Participants sit in a circle, the leader goes into another room. The participants agree on who the leader should be and call the leader into the room. The presenter asks each participant what he should have, and from the answers he must guess who he should be. For example, the participants decided that the presenter would be a pop star. In their answers they give hints that the presenter should have a microphone, guitar, etc. If the presenter does not guess who he should be, then he again goes into another room and a new role is invented for him.
• Chairs are placed in a circle and participants sit on them. The leader becomes the center. He blindfolds himself. The participants quietly change places. The presenter sits in the arms of one of the participants and tries to guess who it is without talking to the participant.

Be sure to prepare competitions for your birthday, then you and your guests will remember this holiday for a long time.

Birthday competition "Cats and Mouse"
Necessary: chairs
The chairs are placed in a circle, with the seats facing inward. Half of the children sit on chairs - these are “mice”, the rest stand behind them - these are “cats”. One “cat” “mouse” should not be enough, that is, it is standing behind an empty chair. This “cat” winks at some “mouse”.
Mouse task: run over to the empty chair next to the one who winked. The task of the “cat” standing behind you is to hold it with your hands. If she doesn’t hold back, she winks at the next “mouse.” After some time, the “mice” and “cats” change roles.

Competition "Chamomile"
Necessary: paper, scissors, funny tasks.
A chamomile is made from paper in advance - as many petals as there will be children. Funny tasks are written on the back of each petal.
Children tear off the petals and begin to perform tasks: walk single file, crow, jump on one leg, sing a song, repeat a tongue twister...

Birthday Gifts Competition
Necessary: gifts that will be given
Children are divided into subgroups, depending on which subgroup prepared this or that gift. One by one, each subgroup “goes to the store to buy gifts”: the children go to the corner of the room and agree on what imitation movements they can use to describe their gift.
After this, the children approach the hero of the occasion and say: “We have prepared a gift, guess what?” Children show movements, and the child guesses. He is given a gift.

Birthday competition “Freeze”

The presenter throws up a balloon. While it is flying, you can move, if it touches the floor - everyone must freeze and not smile.
Whoever does not freeze is out of the game.

Competition "Potatoes and Spoon"
Necessary: 4 chairs, 4 plates, potatoes
At one end of the room there are two chairs, on each there is a plate of potatoes. At the other end of the room there are also two chairs, but there are empty cups on them. 2 people compete.

Winner of competition:the child who collected the most potatoes in a certain time.

Flowerbed Competition

Colored hoops are laid out on the floor - these are “flower beds”. A child, a “flower,” squats in each “flowerbed.” To the music (for example, “Waltz of the Flowers” ​​by P. I. Tchaikovsky), children imitate the growth of flowers, run out of hoops and dance. As soon as the music stops, you need to return to your flowerbed and not get confused!

Birthday competition "Fire brigade"
Necessary: chairs equal in number to the number of players (10 or more)
Chairs according to the number of players are placed in a circle, with their backs facing inward. The players (firefighters) walk around these chairs to the sound of music (tambourine, drum). As soon as the music stops, players must place an item of clothing on the chair they are standing near. Game continues. When each participant removes 3 objects (they end up on different chairs), the alarm sounds: “Fire!” Players must quickly find their items and put them on.
Winner: The one who gets dressed the fastest

Competition “It’s boring to sit like this”
Required: chairs
There are chairs along the opposite walls of the hall. Children sit on chairs near one wall. Read the poem:

And change places?
As soon as the poem is read, all the children run to the opposite wall and try to occupy the empty chairs,which is one lessthan the game participants. The one who remains without a chair is eliminated. Then two chairs are removed.
Everything is repeated until winner won't take the last remaining chair.

Birthday games "Bear"

At the end of the song, the “bear” jumps up and runs after the fleeing guys.
Whoever he catches first becomes the new “bear”, and the game repeats.

Competition "Fishermen and Fishes"

Fish live in water
There is no beak, but they peck.
There are wings but they don't fly,
There are no legs, but they are walking.
They don't make nests
And the children are taken out.

The “fish” scatter, the “fishermen” join hands and catch the “fish”. The caught “fish” join the “fishermen”, causing the “net” to become longer, and the remaining “fish” are caught.

Birthday competition "Grandfather"
Children choose a “grandfather”, then step aside and agree on what they will show, after which they approach the “grandfather”.
- Hello, grandfather!
- Hello children! Where were you, what were you doing?
- We won’t tell you where we were, but we’ll show you what we did...
Children make movements depicting some kind of work, a. “grandfather” must guess what kind of work it is. If he guesses right, everyone runs away and he must catch someone. If he doesn’t guess, the children agree again and pretend to do another job.

Birthday Games “Simon Says”
They play as a team of children.
Leading:
- Simon says... (any movement, for example, “jump”, “raise your arms up”, “sit on the floor”).
Children must perform the movement. If the leader simply says: “Jump!”, then the children should notice that there are no words “Simon says” and not perform the movement, but tell the leader: “Simon didn’t tell us!”

For example:

Leading:
- Simon says: “Turn around in one place!”
The kids are all spinning around.
Leading:
- Run in circles!
Children:
- Simon didn't tell us!
The one who ran leaves the game or must freeze in place and miss a turn. You have to play quickly.

Games for a child’s birthday “Ring”
Necessary: ring or stone
Children stand a few steps in front of some wall, opposite them is the leader. The children hold their palms in a “boat” position in front of them, and the leader hides the ring in his (also cupped) palms. Approaching each player, he pretends that he is placing the ring in his hands (slowly passes his “boat” between the player’s hands).
The presenter goes around all the players, steps aside and says:“Ring, ring, go out onto the porch!”
The one with the ring must run out to avoid being grabbed and touch the wall with his hand. If he can, then he becomes the leader, and the leader becomes a player.

Competitions for a child’s birthday “Porters”
Necessary: 6 large balls, two rugs
Children are divided into teams. The first child from each team receives three large balls. They must be carried to the final destination - the mat and returned back. After which the second child goes to the mat, takes 3 balls and carries them to the third player of the team. It is very difficult to hold 3 balls in your hands, and picking up a fallen ball without outside help is also not easy. Therefore, porters have to move slowly and carefully (the distance should not be too great).
Winner: the team that will complete the task faster.

Competition "Night Driver"
Necessary: skittles
The presenter says that the driver will have to drive at night without lighting, so the player is blindfolded. But first, the driver is introduced to a freeway made from sports pins. Handing the steering wheel to the driver, the presenter offers to practice and drive so that not a single post is knocked down. The player is then blindfolded and brought to the steering wheel. The presenter gives a command - a hint where to turn to the driver, warns about danger. When the path has been completed, the leader unties the driver's eyes. Then the next participants in the game “go”.
Winner: The one who knocks down the least number of pins.
