Fun birthday contests for kids. Funny children's contests and birthday games

When a child turns seven years old, parents have to rethink their experience with home holidays. After all, their son or daughter is no longer a baby, but a person who has realized himself as a person. It is necessary to approach him in this way: with the recognition of his right to his own opinion, taking into account the complex processes that change his inner world.

Now you cannot spend a bright, memorable children's holiday without a good organization. Children 6-8 years old will get bored if there are no interesting games and exciting competitions with their own participation.

When compiling a program, make sure that it is not only fun, but also useful. After all, the company of children under strict adult guidance is a great opportunity to show their abilities, practice various activities, and learn how to build relationships with their peers.

What is radically new happening with a seven-year-old person, what should you pay attention to when preparing contests? Here are the main important points.

  1. Rapid physical development. At this age, the strength of the competition, requiring greater endurance and stress.
  2. Active socialization. Children of primary school age really like to feel part of the team.
  3. Sense of personal responsibility. A child can be entrusted with his own site, where he acts independently.
  4. The arrival of a best friend. Children begin to value friendship and trust friends sometimes more than their parents.

Ideas for contests at home

Competition "Pass under the bridge"

A very simple game-competition with which it is good to start an entertainment program. Adults hold the bar at the two ends, the children take turns passing under it. At each stage, the level decreases, so that first the tallest of the children passes “under the bridge” to his full height, then he has to bend down and finally crawl. The one who lasts the longest wins.

Contest "Guess"

In fact, this competition is a variant of the well-known adult "crocodile", or a game of charades. One participant must show this or that creature, the rest must guess it. Children 7-8 years old it is difficult to depict abstract concepts, so the conditions competition can be limited, for example, by specifying only animals, heroes of fairy tales or cartoons. If none of the guests has participated in such a game before, tell me that the most convenient thing is to imitate not appearance, but actions: how a bear walks, a cat washes, a chicken pecks, etc.

Competition scenario:

  1. Prepare picture cards in advance: take ready-made ones from children's loto sets, draw or stick on cut-outs from magazines.
  2. Put them in a box.
  3. The first "actor" chooses a card at random and tries to portray his character without words so that others can guess him.
  4. The guesser takes his place.
Advice. To begin with, it is better to prepare cards with pictures than with written names of animals. The picture will tell the children which features of the appearance can be played on.

For experienced players, you can remove restrictions from the conditions and set any objects or phenomena.

Competition "Fight with balls"

This is a sports team game that is best played in the yard, on the playground or in a clearing in the park.

You will need:

  • Prepare music:
    notebook with recordings of funny songs
  • music Center
  • or just radio

Competition scenario:

  1. Divide the site into two equal parts (for example, by pulling a rope or net), and the guests into teams. Give each team five inflated balloons.
  2. The task is to transfer them to the territory of the opponent. At the same time, you have to beat off the balls coming from the other side.
  3. Each round lasts as long as the song plays. Musical accompaniment is very enlivens the game and uplifting. The one with the fewest balls on their side wins.
  4. Agree on the number of rounds in advance: it should be odd.

Contest "Collect the word"

An excellent intellectual game for first graders. It gives you the opportunity to test your knowledge of letters and vocabulary, train your memory and powers of observation.

Prepare several envelopes of letter cards in advance. The set should include letters of one long word known to children (January, canteen, computer, dinosaur).

The competition can be both team and individual. Each participant or team is given an envelope with letters. The task is to collect a word from them. The one who does it correctly and fastest wins.

Contest "Collect a picture"

Another competition "at the table". Allows you to take a break from outdoor games, develops spatial thinking and the ability to foresee the result of your actions.

Prepare some colorful pictures (these can be postcards with flowers, illustrations for fairy tales, landscape drawings) and cut them into many curly parts. Distribute them to teams or individual players. The task is to collect the whole picture from these fragments.

Contest "Who will eat jelly faster"

This is a comic competition that can be used for a snack when the holiday is in full swing and the children have time to get a little hungry.

Another convenient place in the program is when the guests moved on to dessert.

For the competition, you need glasses or shallow cups with fruit jelly according to the number of participants.

Each of them gets their portion of jelly and an ice cream stick. The task is to eat it without additional appliances. The winner receives a prize, and the rest of the participants receive spoons to finish their jelly.

Competition "Chest with a surprise"

This game also has an element of competition, but the main thing in it is the ability to please every guest. Even if the child has not won in any other competition, here he will receive his prize.

You will need:

  • Box for the future chest.
  • Give it a beautiful appearance: paste over with colored paper, decorate with drawings or appliqué.
  • Make a hole in the upper part for the child's hand.

Put the gifts in the box according to the number of guests plus one. Pick them according to the age of the children: it can be a toy, jewelry for girls, a notebook, a pen, a set of pencils or felt-tip pens, a key chain, a candy, an apple or an orange.

Quests

Children 7-8 years old are already ready for long multi-stage competitions, if the conditions are simple and clearly stated. Therefore, for them, you can prepare a simple quest of three or four moves.

Divide guests into teams. Each of them should be supervised by an adult: he does not help complete the tasks, but checks whether the guys understood their conditions.

At each stage, the team receives a note describing the task. After completing it, the participants will find out where the next note-instruction is located. The latter must indicate the place where the prize is located. Of course, it should be collective: for example, a cake that the winning team will share with the losing team.

  1. Prepare both individual and team competitions.
  2. When forming teams, consider the wishes of the children. But try to keep them roughly equal in strength. If there are younger children among the guests, distribute them evenly among the teams.
  3. Alternate different types of competitions. After active competition, you need to conduct an intellectual game - and vice versa.
  4. Make sure every child wins and receives a prize at least once. Everyone should feel strong, beautiful and smart.

Leading: Guys! Today we have gathered with you, because our ... is 8 years old. What do we wish him on this joyful day? (All children say their wishes). After that they drive "Karavai":

How about... birthday
We baked a loaf:
Here is such a height
Here is such a low
This is the width
Here's a dinner.
Caravan, caravan,
Whom do you love - choose!

Birthday boy: Of course, I love everyone
But ... most of all!
Each guest is chosen in turn in a circle, and at the end the birthday boy stands in the circle again.

Leading: let's play.

The game "Guess who hurt?"
One child is blindfolded and turned back to the others. Someone lightly touches him with his hand, you have to guess who it is? If you guessed right, then the offender is blindfolded and he becomes a "guesser".

The game "The Third Extra".
The undisputed leader of outdoor games at the holiday. Chairs are placed in the center, 1 less than the number of participants. Children walk or run around the chairs to the music. Suddenly the music stops, you have to have time to take a chair. Those who do not have enough are out of the game. We remove 1 chair and everything continues.
If there are a lot of children, at the beginning of the game you can put sheets of newspaper on the floor, but when 3-4 people remain, it is still better to put chairs.

The game "Cat and Mouse".
Chairs are placed in a circle, seats inward. Half of the children sit on chairs - these are "mice", the rest stand behind - these are "cats". One "cat" "mouse" should not be enough, that is, she stands behind an empty chair. This "cat" winks at some "mouse". The task of the "mouse" is to run across to the empty chair to the winking one, the task of the "cat" standing behind is to hold it with his hands. If she didn’t hold back, she winks at the next “mouse”. After a while, "mice" and "cats" change roles.

Game "Guess the object".
Various items are put into a large cardboard box: cubes, pencils, small cars, mosaics ... The box is closed with a scarf from above. The child picks up an object and tries to guess what it is.

Chamomile game.
A chamomile is made from paper in advance - there are 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 complete tasks: they walk in single file, crow, jump on one leg, sing a song, repeat a tongue twister ...

Festive feast! Guests are invited to the table.

Ball game.
The leader throws up a balloon. While he is flying, you can move, touched the floor - everyone should freeze and not smile. Those who do not comply are out of the game.

Game "Znayka".
The facilitator announces the topic, for example, "Cities". The child names a city and throws the ball to the next player. When everyone has answered, the topic changes. Sample topics: flowers, fruits, countries, rivers, cartoons, names...

The game "Potato in a spoon".
At one end of the room are two chairs, each holding a bowl of potatoes. At the other end of the room there are also two chairs, but on them are empty cups. 2 people compete. It is necessary with the help of a spoon, where one potato is placed, to transfer all the potatoes from one cup to another. Who is faster? If there are a lot of children, you can divide them into two teams and arrange a relay race.

Clown game.
A poster was attached to the wall, on which a clown's head is drawn, without a nose. Everyone in turn, blindfolded, pins a "nose" (foam rubber ball) to the poster with a pin.

Game "Cross".
Everyone gets checkered paper and pens. Who can draw more crosses in a minute?

The game "Sweet tooth".
Spread the leaves all over the room on the reverse side, draw a candy on 8-10 leaves, and a sad face on the rest.
Those who wish to feast should collect leaves until a leaf with a painted candy comes across. It can be exchanged with the presenter for a real candy. Fun and interesting.

Treasure hunt game.
Kids love this birthday game. We are looking for a treasure according to riddle notes. The clue is where to look for the next note. The host reads the first riddle, guessing the word "TV", the children rushed there, on the TV a note with another riddle was already waiting for them. And so on: "Pillow" - "Window" - "Refrigerator" - "Table" ... In the last guessed place, of course, a "treasure" was already waiting: a box of chocolates. It is desirable that the "treasure" be easily divisible by all.

"Birthday cake with eight candles."
Children really like blowing out candles, so we usually deviate from tradition and after the birthday person blows out the candles, we light them again and again, and the guests blow out to everyone's delight.

Prize cutting game.
Various useful little things were hung on a string: bright pencils, erasers, sharpeners, sweets.
We cut the prizes with open eyes, but in turn. This is where the cards scored for winning the contests came in handy: whoever earned the most cards is the first to cut off. As an exception, the birthday boy can be the first to cut off - after all, this is his holiday.
Advice: it is better to tie the prizes to the rope just before the competition. Otherwise, having prepared everything in advance, you run the risk of unraveling the strings for a very long time, separating the prize from the prize ...

Parting. The departing guests were each given a balloon as a keepsake.

Good afternoon, dear readers!

Today we will talk about what games and contests are available for ages 6-12.

So, contests for the birthday of children:

1. The game "Nesmeyana"

We choose one participant - Princess Nesmeyana. He (she) sits on a chair in front of the rest of the children, who are supposed to make the “princess” laugh. But, you can't touch it. The laughing participant sits in the place of Nesmeyana.

This game is sedentary, but it develops communication skills, ingenuity, fantasy, thinking, emancipation.

2. The game "Eskimo hide and seek"

You need to choose a driver, blindfold him and put on mittens. Players should approach him in turn, and he should determine by touch who is in front of him. If he recognizes the player, then he becomes the leader. And if not, the next player should come up for identification. This game is also sedentary, but it develops the senses and memory.

3. The game "Guess"

We choose the driver, and he makes up some subject 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. Who guessed the word - takes the place of the leader. The game is not mobile, develops thinking and communication skills.

4. The game "Broken phone"

We choose a leader. Players sit or stand in a row. The host whispers a word in his ear to one of the players, and he also whispers it to the next player. And so on the chain. The last player voices what he heard and this word is compared with the original. After that, the leader moves or becomes at the end of the chain, and the next player takes the place of the leader.

This game develops attentiveness, hearing.

5. Game "Confusion"

Children should stand in a circle and hold hands. The driver must turn away. At this time, the players, without releasing their hands, begin to get tangled, climbing over each other. The driver turns around and unravels the "tangle" without breaking the circle of players.

This game is mobile, it develops logic, thinking, mindfulness.

6. Competition "Hold the ball"

Create two pairs. For each, put a hoop or draw a circle. Players must stand in this circle. They are given a balloon. They, without leaving the circle, 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 by hand. The pair that lasts the longest wins. This game develops coordination, agility, endurance and good reaction.

What other birthday contests for children at home can be used?

Let's continue the list:

7. Competition "Knees"

Players should sit close to each other. You need to put your hands so that the player’s right hand lies on the neighbor’s left knee, and vice versa. The circle must be closed, but if not, then the outer players must put their hands on their knees. The essence of the game is to quickly clap your hands on your knees, without breaking the sequence of hands: one hand must follow the other. If someone clapped, having confused the turn, he removes the hand with which he made a mistake. This game is sedentary, develops hand motility, coordination, good reaction and attentiveness.

8. The game "Who will eat faster?"

You need to take two plates in which to put candied fruits, raisins, peeled nuts, sweets without wrappers, marmalade. Choose two players, and they, on the command “start”, must eat their portion, but without using their hands. Whose plate is empty faster, he won. This game develops reaction speed, dexterity.

9. Shot put competition

Choose a driver. We blindfold him and put him with his back to the table. He takes a few steps forward and turns around three or four times. Place a balloon on the edge of the table. The driver must return to the table and try to blow the ball to the floor. It turns out funny, because the driver, as a rule, loses direction and blows off the ball where there is none at all.

The game is mobile for the driver. Develops coordination.

10. Competition "Wrap it up soon"

We choose two players who stand opposite each other. In advance, you need to prepare a long thread or lace, 5-6 meters long. In the middle of the thread (lace) we make a mark - we tie a knot. We give each participant the end of the thread. On command, they begin to quickly wind the thread on a spool, stick, etc. The participant who quickly reaches the middle of the thread wins the competition.

11. Competition "Clothespins"

Choose a driver. Participants should turn away and count to 30-40. At this time, the driver clings clothespins throughout the room (on curtains, soft toys, bedspreads). There are 30 pieces in total. Team members turn around and collect clothespins. The one who collected the most clothespins won. The winner becomes the leader.

12. Game "Air battle"

Blow up some round balloons. Form two teams and divide the room into two parts. Place the teams opposite each other. The task of the players is that while the music is playing, try to throw the balls to the side of the opponents. It's not easy at all. After all, opponents also beat the balls. As soon as the music is turned off, the children freeze. The team with the fewest balls in their territory wins.

And we also bring to your attention interesting games and contests for children's birthdays:

13. Game "Chain of words"

We name a word, for example, a chair. We give each team a piece of paper on which the first participant writes this word. Then 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 in a certain time wins.

14. Game "Pass the orange (apple)"

Children are divided into two teams. Each team line up. The participants in each line must pass an orange or an apple with the help of their chin. Hands cannot be used. If someone drops an apple (orange), the relay starts over. The team that quickly passes an apple or an orange from the first participant to the last wins.

15. Lego relay

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 fixing their part to make an interesting, unusual building.

16. The game "Who called me?"

We choose the driver, blindfold him and put him in the center of the circle formed by the players. We spin it and ask you to guess who spoke to him. It is possible to speak short phrases even in altered voices.

17. The game "Pig in a poke"

We put various toys and objects in the bag. Participants are blindfolded. Choose a driver. The driver presents the bag to the players, and they must identify the item that they pulled out by touch. The one who guessed the most items wins.

18. Game "Funny alphabet"

We choose a leader. He names some 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. Greedy game

Many different items need to be laid out in front of the participants. It can be clothes, dishes, stationery, toys. The task of the players is to take the maximum number of things using their hands, head, legs, knees, etc. The winner is the one who collects and holds the most items without dropping them.

20. Game "Collect the scarecrow"

Children are divided into two teams. Before each 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.

Firstly, it is no longer always possible to celebrate the birthday of an 8-year-old child with the help of the usual customs and rituals: “Karavay-loaf” and a traditional round dance.

Secondly, eight-year-old children consider themselves already independent and mature enough not only to take the most active part in the games and competitions of their birthday, but also to participate in the preparation and organization of the holiday themselves.

Practice shows that starting from the age of eight, children, celebrating their personal holiday, prefer "same-sex" birthdays. The birthday boy invites only male friends to his birthday, and the birthday girl invites only her girlfriends to the celebration. Experienced parents advise in such cases to invite no more than ten people of the same sex to the holiday.

If there are more children, then it is better that children of both sexes be present, so the forces are balanced, and adults do not have to constantly calm down the raging boys and distract girls from playing with dolls.

The number of children invited to the holiday plays a role not only in terms of preparing holiday props, calculating the amount of food and gifts for participating in the competition, but also in terms of the number of adults who will be the organizers of the holiday. So, if more than five people are present at your child's birthday party, then there should be two organizers. If more than eight people, then three. At the same time, it is desirable that one of the parents of the birthday person takes on the main role, so the guests will know who they need to contact if they suddenly need the help of an adult.

Where to celebrate the birthday of a child of 8 years old?

You can celebrate the birthday of an eight-year-old child in different places. In nature, in a water park, at home, in an entertainment center or in a children's cafe. If your child loves sweets, then stop at the option of celebrating at an ice cream parlor.

If he is a fan of active games and entertainment, feel free to go to a water park, a game center or an amusement park. Or you can remember all those promises that you made to the birthday boy before his birthday (going to the zoo, sewing doll dresses, gluing sailboats), and fulfill them on his personal holiday.

It is also necessary to celebrate the child’s birthday at school, because relations with classmates are of particular importance for him now. Let him impress them. Remember the tradition when the hero of the occasion treats everyone on his birthday with sweets, cakes and tea. You should remind the class teacher of your child about the upcoming celebration, so that the birthday boy certainly will not be left without due attention on his birthday.

The first thing you should remember before you start preparing a holiday for your child is that at this age, children are very sensitive, careful and reverent about their person and, among other things, they always compete with their friends in everything. Therefore, parents can often hear phrases such as: “I don’t want the same birthday as Masha’s” and “My birthday should be different from Grisha’s holiday.”

Try to make your child's birthday as unique as possible. The birthday man should not only know, but also feel that this is his holiday, his day.

The solemn event itself should not exceed three or four hours in duration. This time is enough for the holiday. The most suitable time of day is the second half of the day. The first fifteen or twenty minutes should be devoted to meeting guests and presenting gifts to the birthday man. The first two hours of the holiday should be devoted to active games, and the second to more creative activities.

Warn the children in advance so that each of them prepares some kind of homemade preparation - a number for the birthday boy: a poem, dance, song, sketch, drawing, and the like. You can invite animators to your birthday, you can do it on your own.

Eight-year-olds love theatrical performances, so either a group of animators or you yourself can show the children a play, staging a little-known or invented fairy tale by you. Or arrange a real circus performance for children with clowning, juggling numbers and tricks.

After the performance, invite the children to the table, the main decoration of which, as always, will be a cake. The birthday boy will make a wish, blow out the candles, and listen to warm congratulations addressed to him. After the festive feast, invite the hero of the occasion and his friends to participate in a quiz with riddles and joke prizes for correct answers. After resting, the guys will be able to start more active games again. At the end of the holiday, the birthday man, along with you, should see the guests off and thank them for the gifts.

Birthday games for 8 years old

Game "Dreamers"

You, as a leader, say the phrase: “Once upon a black-black night in a dark-dark forest ...”. Children should take the initiative and jointly come up with a continuation of this fairy tale. From time to time, you again take the initiative into your own hands, correct the plot, lead it in the right direction. Children can not only tell what the characters of the fairy tale are doing, but also show the actions of a certain character: walks, jumps, runs, and the like.

Game "Guess"

Prepare in advance cards with images that are familiar to children: objects, animals, plants. Have the children sit at the same table or just in a circle on the floor. One of the guys needs to come up to you and draw out any card. Without showing other participants in the game what is shown on it, he must silently, with some gestures, try to depict what is drawn on the card. The rest of the players must give the correct answer. Then the second participant comes out, and so on in a circle until all the guys take part in the game.

Fanta game

Have the children sit in a circle. In the center of the circle will sit any of those who wish to be there. Prepare a bag with “forfeits”, on which certain tasks will already be written, so that when pulling them out, the children do not rack their brains over what exactly they should come up with. The child who took out the “phantom” reads out the task for the one who is in the center of the circle. All children who wish to do so should take part in this game. This is a very simple, but no less exciting contest. Give the children pens and sheets of paper in a box. Explain the task: the guys need to draw a lot of crosses in one minute. The one who drew the most crosses wins. Invite two or three boys to participate in this competition. Have three girls sit on chairs with their backs to them. Scarves should hang on the backs of chairs. The task of the boys is to tie a scarf for “their” girl to the musical accompaniment, not only faster than the rest of the participants, but also better. Prepare a few not too complicated tongue twisters in advance. Select those who want to participate in the competition. Their task is to speak without errors and quickly as many tongue twisters as possible. The winner will be the participant who coped with the task better than others.

What to give a child for his birthday at 8 years old

When choosing a gift for your son, remember that boys of this age are distinguished by the development of independence and responsibility, so their games become more complex and varied. As a present, you can stop at the Lego set: star wars, police station, pirate ship or police station; on new sports equipment: football or basketball, roller skates, skateboard, boomerang, table hockey or mini-golf golf.

An excellent gift would be games for game consoles and consoles, computer games. No less attractive for boys are Bakugan toys, a music player with headphones, a new cell phone. Creativity kits: a pocket microscope and an electronic designer will be appreciated by all the boys without exception.

Girls of eight years of age are distinguished by the fact that if earlier, while studying in the first grade, they had not yet thought about their external attractiveness, now for some of them the issues of beauty and fashion are becoming relevant. But a girl of eight is still a child who believes in fairy tales and expects miracles on her birthday. Therefore, gift options for your eight-year-old daughter should be distinguished by sophistication and originality. For example, you can give her a music box, a beautiful silver locket with a secret inside, jewelry boxes, or a miniature tea set.

Place them in balloons, blow them up and hand them to every new kid who comes - let him take with him a piece of your joy and your holiday.

Cats and mice

Chairs are placed in a circle, seats inside. Half of the children sit on chairs - these are "mice", the rest stand behind - these are "cats". One "cat" "mouse" should not be enough, that is, she stands behind an empty chair. This "cat" winks at some "mouse". The task of the "mouse": run across to an empty chair to wink.

Chamomile

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 complete tasks: they walk in single file, crow, jump on one leg, sing a song, repeat a tongue twister ...

Guess the item

Various items are put into a large cardboard box: cubes, pencils, small cars, mosaics ... The box is closed with a scarf from above. The child touches the object and tries to guess what it is.

Present

Children are divided into subgroups, depending on which subgroup prepared this or that gift. In turn, each subgroup "goes to the store to buy gifts": the children go to the corner of the room and agree on what imitative movements can describe their gift.

After that, 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.

The game is played several times with different subgroups of children. For the last time, one of the parents joins the game and gives the child a gift.

At the end of the holiday, the leader invites all those present to the festive table.

Third wheel

Chairs are placed in the center, 1 less than the number of participants. Children walk or run around the chairs to the music. Suddenly the music stops, you have to have time to take a chair. Those who do not have enough are out of the game. We remove one chair, and everything continues. If there are a lot of children, at the beginning of the game you can put sheets of newspaper on the floor, but when 3-4 people remain, it is still better to put chairs.

Ball

The leader throws up a balloon. While he is flying, you can move, touched the floor - everyone should freeze and not smile. Those who do not comply are out of the game.

If there are a lot of children, you can divide them into two teams and arrange a relay race.

Clown

Attach a poster to the wall, on which a clown's head is drawn, without a nose. Everyone in turn, blindfolded, pins a “nose” (foam rubber ball) to the poster with a pin.

Options, attach a plasticine nose, draw a nose with a felt-tip pen.

sweet tooth

Spread the leaves all over the room, on the reverse side draw a candy on 8-10 leaves, on the rest - a sad face. Those who wish to feast should collect leaves until a leaf with a painted candy comes across. It can be exchanged with the presenter for a real candy.

Searching for a call

On each of the chairs, standing at a distance of 8-10 steps from each other, there is a bell. Two blindfolded players each stand at their own chair. On a signal, they need to go around the comrade's chair to the right, return to their place and ring the bell. The one who does it faster wins.
