The theater, as you know, begins with a coat rack, but about a large-scale event, I would say that it begins with a clear, structured plan. I warn you right away, the posting is quite large and detailed.

My child is September. Last year, just on the eve of the children's DR, I handed over my first book "Profession - Illustrator" to print and, having reviewed a bunch of photographs of thematic birthdays, I was suddenly very scared that with the then remaining energy I would not understand the arrangement of a party for a child.

This year I did not have any delivery of the book, but, oddly enough, the feelings were exactly the same - panic! You don't know where to start, what to grab onto and how long it takes to get ready. When you look from the outside at all this beauty for children's parties, it becomes scary that you will not be in time for anything and a complete beginner in this field.

Therefore, for a start, I calmed down - I'm not the first mother who prepares a holiday for her child - and made the simplest logical plan, based on what might be needed for a children's party:
1. Theme for the party
2. Invitations for children
3. Decorations for the room
4. Table decoration
5. Food for children / food for adults
6. Costumes
7. Games and entertainment
8. Guest gifts

For each point of the plan, except for the first, I made a table, the cells of which were named as follows:
Materials and components - What is already there - What to buy - What to do

These points in the table were applicable to almost all points in the plan. I sat down and first wrote down everything that I had in stock in order to buy what I needed. Thus, a list of what needs to be bought for the holiday, and what else needs to be done or found in the depths of the basement, was very quickly outlined.

So, in order.
1. Topic
The theme of my party was "Space". We had a choice of a party dedicated to dinosaurs or cars, but given my son's love for rockets, stars and planets, I decided that "Cosmos" was the very thing. I think that every parent knows their child perfectly and can, including having consulted with the child, decide whether he likes some pirates or astronauts anyway.

When I decided on the theme, it became clear that the main decoration and style for the whole holiday would be stars and rockets, because our son's favorite toy is still ours.

Because I am an illustrator, it was not difficult for me to draw everything I needed for myself. However, if you yourself do not know how to draw, this is not a reason for despair. On the Internet, you can always find both the necessary patterns and ready-made pictures. You don't use them for commercial purposes, so go ahead with the song.

2. Invitation
First, it was necessary to find out who the child wants to invite to the holiday and how I can contact the parents of these children. Some live in the neighborhood, and some I only meet in the kindergarten and even then every other time.

We have a great tradition in the kindergarten. At the beginning of each kindergarten year, parents are given a list with the names of children and their parents, children's birthdays and contact numbers. In addition to this list, the kids also pass the so-called friend albums to each other. As we once had desires, so German children have books in which they draw for their friends, write something about themselves, paste in their photographs, etc.

Why am I telling all this? If you do not have such a tradition, offer it in kindergarten, because after all, most of the child's friends will be from there. I asked the kid whom he wants to invite, but did not decide for myself. Of course, he wanted to invite the whole kindergarten, but we settled on the fact that only real friends should be at the party. The child agreed.

In principle, everyone advises to invite children no more than the child is turning. Those. my son is 5 years old, so it was necessary to invite 5 children. But we can't do that. In addition to friends, the child also has cousins, whom he loves and wants to see at his holiday, so we have 10 children together with the birthday boy.

First, I talked in advance (one month in advance) with all the parents of those children whom my son wanted to invite. And only after they gave their verbal consent that they would bring the child, I sat down to make invitations. At the same time, she immediately warned everyone that the holiday was for children, i.e. adults are not invited. One mother nevertheless expressed a desire to stay, I did not refuse her. Because, in principle, at the holiday we NEED other adults, with whom it is better to discuss all the details of the holiday and make them the same leaders as you are!

So, I had the exact number of children, which means I knew how much I needed to buy and spend. Many people buy standard invitation cards. It was easier for me to make my own. For invitations you need:
- blanks (cardboard boxes) for postcards
- envelopes
- paper headers "Invitation to the holiday" Cosmos "
- glue
- blanks in the form of a rocket
- inserts with text informing the following: the address of the holiday, the topic, what to bring with you, how long and how long the holiday will last, what time should parents pick up the children, a contact phone number just in case

How exactly the invitations were created can be read in the posting about them:

3. Decorations for the room
With the decorations for the room, I decided not to be too smart. All in the same table "Materials - what to buy - what is - what to do" I wrote down to myself that I want to make stars and a large rocket, decorate the hall with them. Since last holidays I have had paper garlands. I just bought it for this splendor air balloons.

At first, I wanted to make the party in the colors I made for the invitations: turquoise, red and yellow. But in a hobby shop, I quickly realized I had to improvise. For example, turquoise balloons or tablecloths turned out to be something unreal. So my party turned red and yellow.

In addition to the garlands and stars, I bought 2 types of balloons: red and gold. I also had a bag of colored ones, I puffed them up and hung them in the yard: the children would happily eat them later, and the red and gold beauty in the house remained untouched.

In addition to the hall, I also decorated the nursery with stars. I knew that children would still come there and spend some time there. For the same reason, the day before the holiday, I removed EVERYTHING that could be poured, broken and scattered on the uppermost shelves of the cabinets, for example, cubes, puzzles, small Lego parts, easily destructible toys and anything fragile. At the end of the party, I spent only 1.5 hours on cleaning the house, most of which was washing dishes for ... adults :-) That is, not a single toy of the child was damaged, nothing was damaged or destroyed.

4. Table decoration
In order for the table to be a successful addition to the decorations in the room, the tablecloths for the tables were bright yellow and red (a narrow strip of red paper tablecloth over a wide yellow one), gold disposable tableware and bulky tubes for drinks (they are sold in our supermarket - they unfold with paper balls or fruits around the tube)

For the table, I also bought paper decorations... A piece is visible in the photo (I was not able to photograph the table as it looked before the guests arrived - I was running around!). I took them ready, so at least not to make them myself (there is one large rocket and 2 robots about 25 cm high in the set): Tischdeko Roboter.

I also bought special napkins with robots and missiles (The link leads to a German Amazon.)

Because I planned to do everything on sticks, i.e. small canapes, and only potatoes to serve on a common plate, I bought small skewers with different flags, including those of Germany and Europe. Ornaments for ordinary toothpicks can be made by yourself. At first I planned to stick stars on the toothpicks and stick them into cutlets and pieces of chicken - I even cut out a whole bunch, but I am a working mother, I had to greatly rationalize my free time.

5. Food for children / food for adults
The food for children needs the simplest: cutlets, sausages, fried potatoes (mixed), chopped vegetables, cheese or fruit canapes. I deliberately did not put sweets on the table, because we had games in which you could win sweets. In addition, there was a huge rocket-shaped cake (which I ordered from a bakery - I myself did not have enough to make it).

Drinks: only apple scorle (apple juice with mineral water) or mineral water.

Important! Find out before the holiday which child may be allergic to and what he can or cannot, what he drinks, whether he eats meat, etc. We had one boy - a vegetarian, another one - he drank only the water that is given from the tap. It is important to know such details so that little guests do not feel left out.

For adults, I made a small self-service buffet. I immediately threatened them that I would not have time for them, so please make sandwiches and stuff for yourself. I put cold snacks on the table: Olivier, small meatballs on skewers, fresh vegetables and fruits, sliced ​​sweet bread, several types of sauce, canapes with cheese and grapes, and sprats. When she served hot potatoes to the children, she offered it to the adults as well. No one was left hungry. I warned that the holiday is for children. No feasts and drunkenness. Only a glass of champagne as an aperitif.

6. Costumes
Designing costumes for 20 people - half of whom are adults - turned out to be a very difficult task, because I started the masquerade as the last step, and I simply ran out of budget and time. Of course, you could buy green T-shirts for aliens, or cut holes for your head in pieces of green fabric and put them like a poncho over your shoulders, but alas. Had to solve this problem with little blood- masks.

You can read more about patterns and ideas for suits in a post about them:

7. Games and entertainment
Preliminary preparation:
- make a list of all games
- schedule time for them
- compose a script by roles - who is responsible for this or that game, who prepares the scenery, what they say before and after the game
- think over what is needed for games
- remove all loose and fragile toys from the children's room
- compose or buy a CD with children's music (very important!)

Games and entertainment are the most important point of the plan after eating! I had to sweat a lot here. My sister helped me with planning - social teacher, who now works in a kindergarten according to the Waldorf system, because and she herself learned from it. I wanted to arrange a holiday from 14:00 to 18:00, to which my sister immediately told me to change my mind. 3 hours in her opinion (oh, how she was right!) Is enough above the roof.

Starting from 3 hours, we began to plan. (By the way, it is the decision of how long you want to entertain the little guests that should influence the information in the invitation: when to bring the children to the parents, and when to pick them up.)

At first, we thought of the scenario for the children's birthday as if it were happening on an unknown planet. Accordingly, we rewrote all the games - relay races, contests, jumping ropes - for alien needs. That is, for example, in playing on a spoon, they carried not eggs or potatoes, but thorny chestnuts, which we called an unknown form of life. And the aliens had to cleanse their planet from the dominance of thorny creatures - carry them on a spoon from chair to chair :-) at the last moment, the child announced that he was an astronaut, not an alien, had to quickly change plans, but it was not so scary.

We had 3 hosts: me, my husband and my sister. We distributed the games so that while one was playing with the children, the other would go and prepare the next entertainment. Therefore, in addition to the list of games, it is very important to think over the so-called "stations" - where the games will take place and what needs to be prepared for them in advance. On the day of the holiday, I put all the things for games in one place - not far from the hall, so that I could immediately start equipping the next "station" while the children were busy with another game.

So.
1) Each child who enters is immediately informed that he is an astronaut: "Welcome to our spaceship!" At the same time, I immediately gave the children masks-helmets, adjusted and buttoned on their heads (see the paragraph suits). Children have an amazing fantasy - they immediately plunge into an imaginary world, become real astronauts. In the process, of course, they were repeatedly removed from the head, but this is no longer a problem.

2) At European parties, it is often customary to make a table for gifts. All new arrivals put their gifts there, and at the end of the party, the birthday party opens everything in turn and admires. In our case, such a procedure was impossible, because the kid immediately began to unpack everything. The guests were at first busy looking at and breaking gifts. Here it is important to immediately distract the children and remove the gifts away.

So. We are waiting for all guests and latecomers. The presenter addresses the children:
"Dear astronauts, we are going on a long journey, now is the time to familiarize ourselves with the route."

Children are invited to sit around the host to read books about space. For this purpose, I created a corner: I made a sofa and an armchair together, overlaid with floor pillows. On a special table I had toy robots and rockets, next to pre-prepared books about space, as well as all sorts of fantastic stories with the participation of children-astronauts.

Here I was very much saved by the fact that while my husband and I were busy in the kitchen, my sister entertained the gradually arriving children.

3) The game "Let's get to know each other." Time for a game is no more than 10-15 minutes.
Because at our party very different and sometimes not quite familiar children gathered at our party, we decided to hold a game "Let's get to know each other". This requires a ball of thread. All adults and children are in a circle (children love adult participation!).

Host: "Attention, attention! Dear astronauts! We are starting our journey! Please gather in a circle."

Children are told that they must pass the ball not just in a circle, but diagonally, crosswise - as they please. Everyone who receives a ball in their hands must introduce themselves, tell how old he is, tell which kindergarten he goes to or, in the case of adults, where and by whom he works. The leader should help shy children, tenderly ask leading questions if the child hesitates. As a result, a rather large web is formed. At the end of the game, they cheerfully offer to throw her on the floor: "Raise your hands up! Let's throw!"

When the children run away, the presenter cleans up the play area. Another presenter invites the children to the table.

4) Invitation to the table. Plan on eating for at least 25-30 minutes.
When everyone has met, it's time to eat. Be attentive to how comfortable other people's children feel with you. It is necessary that each little guest sit where he wants, so that he has his own place, his own cutlery etc. When the children approached the table, we needed the help of all adults! Someone sat down, another brought hot potatoes and sausages, the third poured drinks for the children and helped to straighten decorative straws. At first, there was no sweet food on the table.

We put fruit and snacks after the main meal so that hungry children can eat or drink something between games.

5) Relay with chestnuts. Plan no more than 10-15 minutes - this game ends very quickly.
Remember that children need a verbal start before each play.
Host: "Attention, attention! Dear astronauts! After we have had enough food, we set off on our first mission! Alien creatures have been discovered on our planet! We need to immediately rescue them and move them from their place of arrival to a safe, warm and dry place!" "

We opened the adventure with fireworks: we had such floor fountains in number of 3 pieces. The children remembered them later than anything else. It was an exciting sight for the children. In the end, they could not remember anything else at all :-)

While the children were eating, it was necessary to prepare 4 chairs - two at the start and two at the finish, divide the lane for the relay with a rope. Divide the children into 2 teams. There are identical cups on the chairs at the start and at the finish. There are exactly as many thorny chestnuts in the cups at the start as there are children in the team. If there are not enough children, adults should be included in the game. Each team needs to be given a spoon.

The game begins with the fact that the child carries a chestnut in a spoon, carries it to a bowl at the finish line, runs back with a spoon and gives it to the next one. Friendship won! :-) The presenter announces the results at the end: "Hurray! It was difficult, but we did it! We saved all the alien creatures! We are great!"

While one presenter was engaged in the relay, the other was preparing the next attraction. Don't be afraid to let your kids run for a bit between games. For example, I have a trampoline in my yard. I put it in order before the holiday, threw in soft colored balls and told the children that this was an astronaut training station. They jumped there with joy. A friend of mine told me that she inflated a huge double mattress for children, covered it with pillows and blankets, and allowed children to jump and tumble on it - the mattress was very popular.

6) Glue the antenna - no more than 15 minutes
Remember the game, glue the tail of the donkey with your eyes closed? I made an alien out of a donkey and invited the children to glue an antenna for him.

Host: "Attention, attention! Dear astronauts! A new adventure is calling us! Our friend, a yellow alien, has lost his antenna! Without it, he cannot hear his friends and cannot find his way home. So let's help him!"

The children are shown where to glue (I glued a construction paper adhesive tape to the back of the antenna with a ring so that it sticks to the antenna itself and sticks to the drawing). Children are guided, encouraged, led in turn to glue the antenna. After the last participant, the presenter says that hurray, we helped our friend and glue him a smile instead of shaking lips. Children run away to play in the yard.

7) Cut off prizes while blindfolded - no more than 15-20 minutes
On the eve of the holiday, I wrapped 20 small prizes - sweets in colorful wrapping paper. Tied them with a ribbon. While we were gluing the antenna to the alien, other adults had already pulled the rope and began attaching prizes to it.
For this competition, you will need an eye scarf and small baby scissors.
Host: "We did a great job and deserve a reward!" The children are asked to line up one after the other, blindfolded in turn, and, with some guidance and a little help, are allowed to cut the candy. Children enjoyed playing this game in 2 rounds.

8) Who is the last - about 10-15 minutes
The traditional game of chairs. There are one fewer chairs in a circle than the participants, music is turned on. When the music dies down, you need to have time to sit on a chair. With each circle, the number of chairs becomes smaller until 2 participants and one chair remain. At first, some children get upset that they lost. It is important here that some of the adults take the losers aside and say that now we will play again and then we will see who will be left with a nose :-)

While the children run around the chairs, we prepare a cake.

9) Cake - no more than 20 minutes
Often, when a cake with candles is brought in, people begin to sing something unintelligible, forget the words and do not get to the beat. We solved this problem with a regular children's CD with songs. One of the songs was dedicated to the birthday. This is many times better than the hackneyed "Happy bezdey tu yu" or "Let them run awkwardly", which no one knows to the end. We had: "Wie schön, dass Du geboren bist, wir hätten dich sonst sehr vermisst ..." My husband was a DJ :-) Many children and adults knew her by heart, because it is rather short, and the voice from the disc did not allow me to forget the words.

10) Battle with swords - 10 minutes
Remember the game in physical education class, who will push whom off the boom? I took two children's stands from Ikea (from which children reach the sink or toilet bowl), put them at the distance of an inflatable sword from each other, handed the children each an inflatable sword and they had to push each other off the stands with these things. These swords are soft, the stands are low - no one was hurt.

The presenter calls for the game with the words: "Attention, attention! Dear astronauts! After a hearty lunch, it's time to start training! Are there any volunteers?" Children are told what to do.

After the battle, the host announces that you can do anything you want: we have completed all the missions and returned home!

In reality, you have about 30 minutes left, which after such an intensive program begin to seem like an eternity! :-) Children scream and run, fall and fight. They are already tired, only girls are dancing to loud music, and the boys are standing on their heads.

8. Guest gifts
I really like the local tradition that gifts are given not only to birthday people, but also to their little guests. Because the children who were with us at the holiday are still small, they really liked that for them there was some little surprise- not only the hero of the occasion.

Our party was dedicated to space and rockets, and our logo was a children's branded red rocket. I drew it first in Photoshop, printed in large quantities on thick paper, cut out and pasted on the invitations, which I have already shown here, as well as on the bags with guest gifts, which the little guests, saying goodbye after the party with the birthday boy, took home with them. It is very important that gifts are handed out to guests at the end of the holiday: so that the parents who have come to pick up the children take this property home, the children do not fight and do not lose their treasures.

What's inside and packing details, as well as tips, see the link:

That's all, actually. The eyes are afraid, but the hands are doing. Because I am a working person, the precise planning of the holiday helped me a lot. It is better to start preparing the evening in advance. For a month, almost every day after work, I did not sit down for 20-30 minutes to cut and glue the decorations, create masks, think over the details of the holiday. During the break, I ran to the store to buy some things and at each visit to the supermarket I collected all sorts of small things for decoration or for guest gifts. Before the holiday, at least there was no need to think about it.

My tables marked "what is - what to buy - what to do" made my work very easy, because thanks to them I had clear instructions on what to buy and what had not yet been created.

During the festive preparation for the child's birthday, the parents of the birthday boy prepare an interesting competition program for children and often forget about invited adults. The older generation is invited to sit at the table and entertain themselves with conversation or tasting culinary masterpieces. However, it is much better to do children's day birthday and for already adult moms, dads, grandparents, a joyful and memorable event. How to entertain such a diverse audience? You need to carefully select contests and tasks for children and adults, as well as organize joint entertainment.

A good holiday for children and adults begins with the following moments:

• Inviting guests.
• Festive room decoration.
• Adult entertainment program.
• Games and fun for children.
• Joint contests and competitions.

How to draw invitation cards

The holiday starts with an invitation. You can call banally and verbally invite guests, or you can show creative ingenuity and use the "grandmother's" method - send out beautifully designed invitation cards... For adults, it will be a surprise to find in the mailbox along with a receipt for the rent beautiful envelope with an invitation to a children's party. And it will be interesting for children to tear open the package and look at its contents. There are various ways to decorate children's birthday cards:

• Draw an individual postcard for each invited guest (child and his parents).
• Design in one of the graphic editors.
• Buy ready-made invitations and sign them beautifully or compose a small quatrain.

The best way, of course, is to make, together with the child, an individual postcard for each invitee.

Decorating the room

If you want the festive atmosphere to be felt right from the door, take care of decorating the room. All invited guests - both children and parents - will find it interesting to consider the decor. Here are some room decoration options that will delight the eye and add solemnity to the moment.

Festive decoration of the room.

Wall newspaper

Make it a tradition to publish such a newspaper every year for your child's birthday. You can make it from a roll of wallpaper. Glue on it the funniest and most interesting photographs of the child over the past year, and make original signatures below. This decoration will interest both children and adults. At the bottom, you can leave a little space for the wishes and signatures of guests. After many years, taking out such a newspaper from the mezzanine, you will get a lot positive emotions and fond memories.

Home exhibition

An exhibition of handicrafts, drawings, figurines made of plasticine and natural material, or something else (perhaps self-assembled aircraft models, if the child's hobbies are associated with this) is placed on a shelf or in a showcase for everyone to see. If the child is older, then you can offer him to pre-make a souvenir for each guest and give it to invited friends at the end of the holiday. Crafts of guests of the birthday person should also take pride of place on the shelf.

Balls and serpentine

Every child likes Balloons and bright serpentine. You can simply hang them around the room or scatter them on the floor. You can also purchase a ready-made design of balloons of different colors or make one to order specifically for a children's birthday. It's important to buy quality balloons so they don't burst in the middle of the holiday.

Inside each balloon, you can put a folded leaflet with a wish for guests (adults and children), and at the end of the evening invite everyone to choose and burst a balloon and read their wish. Such an original farewell is highly appreciated by both children and adults.

Adult program

When celebrating a child's birthday, you should also take care of the invited parents. So that adults do not get bored during children's competitions, they need to prepare a separate program. You can invite them to watch a video about the birthday boy. To make this at home, you need a computer, photos and videos from your family archive in digital format. As musical accompaniment music from cartoons or any other to your taste will do. You can edit the video yourself if you are familiar with video editing, or you can entrust this work to professionals. As practice shows, such films captivate all adults: grandmothers, grandfathers, godparents, parents of invited children, aunts and uncles.

No one should be bored on a fun holiday!

While the adults are keen on watching a movie, a basic program for children can be done. When the movie is over, invite your parents and relatives to the table and treat yourself to a treat. After 20-30 minutes, you can start holding contests and quizzes.

The tasks for children and adults can be alternated - while some are participating, others are enjoying the festive treat. Children and adults can be seated together, but it is still better to set a separate sweet table for the children. Your attention should be enough for everyone. To make it easier - choose yourself an assistant to conduct entertainment program... You will be generously rewarded for your efforts with children's smiles and gratitude from adults.

Board games are one way to keep your parents company engaged.

Assignments for adults

"Praise"

According to the order of seats at the table, all the guests praise the hero of the occasion and call him best qualities... After that, a hat is obtained, into which leaves with inscriptions of a person's personal qualities have been folded in advance, and the guests one at a time draw out a “fant” for themselves.

"Remember everything"

While the guests have not yet got drunk on their birthday, it is proposed to name the most significant dates and events in the life of the birthday man:

• Day of the week on which he was born.
• Date of birth.
• Year of birth.
• Time of birth.
• Birth weight.
• Growth at birth.
• When the first tooth appeared.
• How many teeth are there now.
• First word.
• Favourite dish.
• Favourite drink.
• Favorite game.

There are many options for questions, but grandparents will win (as practice shows). They are solemnly presented with an award "For memory" and a photograph of the birthday man.

"Name"

In turn, all participants in the feast are invited to name diminutive and affectionate names for the birthday man (Sasha, Shura, Sashka, Sashok, Shurochka, Sasha and others, for example). The winner is the one who named the most. The prize can be a small notebook, the first page of which was carefully painted on the eve of the hero of the occasion.

"Activity stream"

A rope is fixed on opposite walls, and the child's socks are attached to it with clothespins. Each sock contains a task for an adult:

• Tell a rhyme on a specific topic.
• Dance a lambada.
• Sing a lullaby.
• Sing a children's song with a fatal arrangement.
• Jump on one leg from one end of the room to the other.
• Crawl under the table.
• Depict an animal.
• Depict an object without words.

You can include easier tasks: kiss the birthday boy or get candy.

"Puzzles"

When the birthday comes to an end and the guests are already pretty relaxed, you can offer them to put together speed puzzles. Several simple puzzles for 6-8 pieces are taken and laid out on stools according to the number of participants. Whoever collects the fastest gets the "Fastest" order.

As a result, it should be added that the entertainment program for adults on a children's birthday should be interesting, but not too intrusive. Some people are shy about entering contests or afraid to appear insecure. Be attentive to all participants in the celebration, and if the person is clearly tired, let him calmly enjoy the treat and contemplation of fun.

Children's program

You can think of a lot of scenarios for holding a children's birthday. Here are some options: “The birthday cake is gone”, “Treasure hunt”, “The wish-fulfilling fairy has disappeared” and others. Let's look at missing a birthday cake.

You can invite an animator or entertain the kids yourself.

Letting the kids down leading questions blowing out candles on a birthday cake. We solemnly bring in a beautiful box in which the presence of a cake is assumed, but there (oh, horror!) It is not. The box contains only a few crumbs and a mysterious note. Please read the older child's note. There is something like this: “I took your cake. Complete my assignments to get him back. Cyrus ". Kira is a doll that you put on your hand. You can take any - an animal, a girl or a boy.

A moment later, the culprit of the loss appears on the hand of one of the parents. Kira meets the kids and offers various contests for them to return the birthday cake.

After completing all the contests, the toy surrenders and returns the cake (it stands in another room with candles).

Contests

"Transfer the egg"

At one end of the room there are 2 stools with empty plates (it is better to take plastic or metal ones) and in the other there are also 2 stools with plates in which boiled eggs lie (according to the number of participants). Children are divided into 2 teams. Each is invited to transfer an egg in a spoon from one plate to another. The winning team receives a prize or medal.

"Collect the leaves"

It is necessary to scatter leaves cut out of colored paper, on the back of some you need to draw a certain sign-symbol. Children are invited to help the doll collect leaves. A child who has a leaf with a symbol-sign is awarded a sweet prize (waffle, candy, marmalade - at choice).

"Stick your nose"

You can attach not only the nose, but also the eyes, mouth, eyebrows, hair, ears and so on. A face (clown, doll, fairytale character) is drawn in advance on a sheet of Whatman paper, but without a nose. Each of the guys should try to glue a plasticine (dough) nose onto a drawing with a blindfold. The winner is the one who stuck the nose closer to its actual location on the face. The prize can be a medal or the "Most Accurate" order.

"Rabbits"

The doll missed her best friend - a rabbit, and asks the guys to jump like rabbits, putting on paper ears or simply putting their palms to their heads. The most active rabbit is awarded the order or medal "Bouncy".

Ball Race

Inflated balloons are placed on the floor, and the children are given the task to blow the balloon to the other end of the room faster than anyone else. The invited children get on their knees and palms and, on command, begin to blow. The winner is awarded the “Strongest Wind” award.

"Choose a gift"

The tape is stretched, various small gifts(key rings, pens, markers). Each child needs to be blindfolded, untwisted and offered to choose a souvenir as a keepsake. On a birthday, no one should be left without a gift.

"To each his own desire"

Small pieces of paper are put into a box or hat with individual tasks: to crow, sing a song, recite a poem, jump a frog, kiss a birthday boy, eat a berry. Each child who comes to a children's birthday, pulls a piece of paper and reads himself, or an adult helps to read, a desire and fulfills it.

"Beads"

Two children need to compete, who will quickly string the drying (bagels) on a rope or on a long skewer. The winner is the one who finishes stringing the beads earlier.

During the performance of contests and tasks, you need to take several breaks: eat, drink, dance, so that the guys do not get tired.

After all the tasks, the birthday boy blows out the candles, and the whole company goes to eat the cake.

Joint entertainment

In order for a children's birthday party with the participation of adults to go off with a bang, you need to entertain the guests not only individually, but also together.

When organizing a program for children and adults, do not forget about joint entertainment.

Adults and children

"Papi Run"

A competition of dads and children is organized to the accompaniment of cheerful music.

"Footprints"

2 teams are playing. Each team has a parent and a child. You will need a pre-cut footprint of a tiger or other animal. In total, you need 4 blanks. Participants get 2 tracks. The child stands on the track with one foot, and the parent moves the second track for the next step. The winner is the one who has covered the entire distance faster.

In addition to improvised noisy and ringing devices, you can use real or toy musical instruments, if available. A funny children's song for the background is turned on, a soloist (or several singers) is selected and the original arrangement of the famous hit begins.

"Fireworks"

A real fireworks will become a pleasant farewell surprise, which on the child's birthday will make a splash among children and adults and will be an excellent culmination of the holiday.

Many sweet gifts should be prepared for birthday contests. Even if the competition is for an adult, the prize can be sweetness - the parent will pass it on to the child.

(Fragments of popular retro songs are played. A competition is underway. The winners are awarded a box of chocolates.)

Contest "Newspaper Heroes"

Leading. Men, I am waiting for you at the epicenter of our holiday. Meeting place can not be Changed. (Men come out.)

The competition is simple: who will fold a newspaper sheet in half faster in 10 times?

(A competition is underway. Instrumental music plays in the background.)

Leading. The player of the team won ... (names the team color)

I propose, like a baton, to pass your newspaper sheet to another member of your team. (Other players are selected.)

I ask you to unfold the sheets and make "balls" out of them. Take the ball in your right hand and stand with your back to open door four steps away from her. Turn your head as far as possible to the right and throw the "ball" over your left shoulder so that it will fly out the door.

(A competition is taking place. The distance is small, the goal is large, but rarely will anyone be able to throw the paper "ball" out the door at once. If someone succeeds, he is declared the winner.)

Dance game "Bound by one chain"

Leading. Teams of "yellow" and "green" are invited to the dance floor.

(The teams leave the table. The presenter gives each of them a headdress. These can be hats, caps, earflaps, bath caps, etc.)

I ask you to try on these hats and each team to stand in a column one after another.

(In each team, the leader attaches hats to the rope at a distance of one meter to all participants using clothespins. Each team has its own rope.)

Our dance game is called Chained. Various melodies will sound, during which the teams are invited to dance, but so that the hats do not fall off.

(Popular dance tunes sound. For example, "Chivala", "Lambada", "Nathanana", Letka-enka "," Lezginka "," 7-40 ", etc.)

All children love to celebrate their own and friends' birthdays: gifts, entertainment, many delicacies on the table make little merry people very happy. The challenge for adults: to come up with a birthday scenario for children so that nothing overshadows festive mood... They are helped by their own imagination and the fantasy of a child who can also accept Active participation in the preparation of the party.

Birthday for the little ones

For mom and dad, caring for a newborn baby is a lot of trouble. But there are still many reasons for joy. The kid is growing rapidly and getting stronger before our eyes, and when he turns one year old, why not throw a party on this occasion?

The plot of the holiday should be designed for a short time, since the baby will quickly get tired, and he will not like the long presence of a large number of people around him. Arrange some kind of active fun or contests for little man It's a bit early, but you can come up with a fun festive photo session, pictures from which will be saved later for life. Fantasy and maybe advice professional stylists and photographers will help you choose interesting and varied roles for your child.

Birthday for an older child

Year after year goes by, and now the baby is quite firmly on his feet, plays actively and learns not only to speak, but also to read. The scenario of a children's birthday needs an interesting one, but such that the child and his guests do not get tired and not be capricious.

It is necessary to frequently change outdoor activities and recreation. During breaks, when the children sit at the table, you can show them some kind of performance.

Shadow play

This fun, organized by adults, will please the little birthday boy and his guests. All you need is a good white screen, a spotlight (strong lamp) and the artistry of the participants in the performance. You can tell children any fairy tale, accompanying it with the actions of the figures on the screen.

Magic tricks

To keep your little ones entertained, you can show them a few simple tricks.

Mountain Dew Lemonade can react chemically with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, accompanied by a bright glow. For focus, you need to leave some of the drink at the bottom of the bottle. Add a teaspoon of baking soda and three teaspoons of peroxide to it. Shake the mixture. The lemonade should start to glow. Be careful to keep children away from liquids.

You need a glass of highly carbonated water and a light button. The presenter lowers the button to the bottom of the glass and begins to perform magical passes, ordering the button to move up to his hand. After the button rises, the magician asks her to go back downstairs. There is no difficulty in focus, the button rises due to the fact that bubbles of carbon dioxide collect around it, and falls when the bubbles burst.

Coils

The host holds a black spool of thread and a white spool without threads. He closes his hands and orders the threads to run from one reel to the other. He opens his hands and - lo and behold - now a white spool with thread, and a black one without. The secret is simple: each coil has a black and white side. If you imperceptibly turn them over, you get the impression that the threads from one "ran away" to another.

So that the guests at the party do not get bored, you need to periodically arrange short mobile contests with them.

Turtles

Each participant is given a large bowl. You need to kneel down, turn the basin over to make it look like a turtle's shell, and quickly race with other children to the finish line.

Repeat movement

The first participant comes up with a movement and passes the baton to another. Next child repeats the movement of the previous one and adds its own. The last one in the relay gets the most difficult task - to repeat the movements of all the previous guests. Adults who also take part in the game can be made to be the last to enter and take on the most difficult function.

What were you doing a year ago?

This is an entertainment competition for the ability to recall events. The birthday boy and his friends are asked questions about what happened in their life a year ago. The hero of the occasion, of course, celebrated the previous birthday. But does he remember the details: what they gave him, what was the birthday cake? What did the other little guests do?

The scenario of the children's birthday will include a large number of contests and games for quick wits, because young schoolchildren so love to demonstrate to others how much they know! As prizes, not only goodies are suitable, but also things useful for study - stationery, small books, notepads, notebooks, etc.

Puzzles

Traditionally, at their birthday parties, children are invited to guess tricky riddles. The most active and quick-witted will definitely receive awards.

• "What always sounds wrong?" Answer: "False."
• "What can't you say yes to without lying?" Answer: "To the question:" Are you sleeping? "
• “The driver was driving with the lights off and the headlights off. There were no lanterns on the road, and there was no moon either. Suddenly a black kitten began to cross his path. The driver managed to brake, and the kitten safely moved to the other side. How is this possible? " Answer: "It was during the day."
• "Travels the world and stays in one corner?" Answer: "Stamp on the envelope."
• “There were two birches. The first grew 10 cherries, the second - 5. Masha came and picked 4 cherries. How many berries are left on the first and second trees? " Answer: "In fact, cherries do not grow on birches."
• "The day before yesterday Misha was 1 year old, and next year he will be 4. How is it?" Answer: "Misha's birthday is December 31st."

Edible - inedible

A well-known game can be turned into an entertaining competition for schoolchildren, if you include new concepts that the children have learned to the list of named objects. For example, say the names of different animals that are taught in science lessons.

Tell a fairy tale

All children love fairy tales. But the time when parents read books at night is a thing of the past. Now the child himself can act as a storyteller. Participants of the competition are given tasks - to reproduce the plots of various famous fairy tales. At the same time, to make it interesting, they ask to change the fairy tale a little, for example, as if Little Red Riding Hood were our contemporary, or they ask to turn the story about three pigs into a children's detective story.

You can't do without movement at your birthday party. It is useful for children of primary school age to develop coordination of movements, therefore, you can offer them skill games.

Feed a friend

Delicious competition. Participants are divided into pairs, each pair is given a treat (cake, ice cream, fruit salad) and cutlery. You need to feed your partner with your left hand (for left-handers - with your right).

Bowling

The participants are divided into groups. From plastic bottles (for stability, you can pour a little water on the bottom of each), a line of pins is built for each team. At speed, the participants try to knock as many bottles as possible from their line with a ball. For each pin knocked down, the team receives points. After the throw, the child must still quickly run up to the line and re-line the bottles.

Ponytails

Children are divided into pairs. Each is hung on a belt with a hanging end at the back. Partners compete, who will quickly grab the "tail" of the other, without allowing them to grab their own. The faster and more agile wins.

If the holiday falls on summer period, a children's birthday scenario should include a lot of outdoor activities. Better to check the weather forecast ahead of time and have a party for a day when it's warm and sunny outside.

The plot of the birthday, in addition to a delicious feast, which must be diversified with an abundant number of dishes from fresh vegetables and fruits, lemonades and ice cream, should include many outdoor games.

Running in pairs

Participants in a pair stand with their backs to each other and hold hands. It is necessary in this form to run from start to finish and back. Delicious surprise gets the fastest and most agile pair.

Treasure hunt

An outdoor birthday party has the advantage that you're not limited to four walls. This fact can be used, for example, to organize a game to search for a "treasure". Throughout the party, children will find fragments of a map that need to be deciphered in order to get the coordinates of the place where the "treasure" is hidden. A surprise can be, for example, a box full of chocolates designed for all birthday participants.

Rope maze

From the ropes stretched between the trees, you can build a large spider web through which the guys will have to crawl. You can make the task more interesting by hanging bells. Competitors should try not to touch the ropes so that the bells do not ring.

Birthday Plots

In order for the holiday to turn out to be bright, you can weave the main contests and entertainment into a fascinating plot, in which the guests at the birthday party will become the main participants.

Popular plots

Treasure Island

All guests are pirates on the ship. The leader is the captain of the ship. Bright tropical flowers, vines, ropes cut out of paper are used in the decoration of the festive room.

Harry Potter

The birthday boy and his guests are students of the fabulous Hogwarts, and the presenters are their teachers. All are given pointed hats and robes. Don't forget about magic wands.

Cheerful zoo

All children come in a costume of some kind of animal.

Fantastic

You can imagine that the birthday events take place on another planet. Every child is free to choose the image of any fantastic creature. Adults are a team of research scientists who have landed on the planet to meet the local people.

How to spend a holiday so that it would be fun, interesting and like your child, and his friends, and you yourself, his parents?

Children's birthday is a holiday, it is a day when a child is bathed in parental love, attention of loved ones, joy of friends. It will surely remain in the memory of the baby. These should be the brightest, most joyful memories that will remain with him for life.

To begin with, let's agree that your child's birthday is his holiday, to which he himself invites his friends to visit. You are probably familiar with the following picture: lathered children rush around unattended around the table, at which drunken adults are having fun. Such to be on children's party shouldn't. If there is no way to explain this to relatives, reschedule the children's party for the next weekend, name day, Christmas.

If you do not want to fight an army of Chinese-made colorful hares for a long time and maneuver between plastic cars of different calibers, try to discuss gifts in advance at least with close relatives. It is best to coincide with the birthday of the purchase of some coveted expensive item (bicycle, sports complex, Lego constructor) and invite everyone to take part in the purchase. If your loved ones may misunderstand you, at least stipulate in advance what you absolutely do not want to receive as a gift (we do not think that you will be delighted by the unplanned appearance of a puppy, a drum or a piano).

Unlike adults, children go to visit not to eat, but to have fun. Therefore, you should also focus not on cooking, but on the entertainment program. Generations of experienced parents will confirm to you with absolute authority that children of kindergarten and primary school age almost never eat salads with mayonnaise, pork chops and stuffed tomatoes on holidays. Therefore, save your strength and money for the moment when your child turns into a teenager (then literally everything is swept off the tables), and for this holiday buy more fruits for the kids (very small ones need to be peeled and cut into slices in advance, and berries with seeds are better do not buy at all) and juices, make a homemade cake (you can just soak ready-made cakes with custard or curd cream, elegantly decorate with fruits, cookies, candied fruits). If your child does not insist, it is better to replace carbonated drinks with homemade fruit drink, and certainly you should do without caffeinated Pepsi and Coca-Cola. For food lovers, you can make canapé sandwiches.

You shouldn't put your ceremonial service at risk. It is better to walk with your baby to the nearest wholesale market and purchase a bright paper tablecloth, disposable tableware, straws for drinks, skewers for sandwiches. After the holiday, you will wrap all the trash in a tablecloth ... and mentally thank the genius who invented the disposable plates.

It is better to appoint a holiday at a time when your baby is in the best mood. Usually guests are invited at four o'clock, after daytime sleep... The most important point: if you have a large family, then perhaps it is better to throw a party on weekdays, when some of the household members are at work. It is worth discussing in advance what time to pick up the children. Do not hesitate to tell the parents of your little guests when you need to come for them: believe me, it is much easier to do this than to console the capricious children later and puzzle over where to put a suddenly asleep little guest to take a nap. The length of the party should not exceed the number of years of the birthday person, but older children should not have fun for more than four to five hours.

The number of guests must not exceed the number of years plus one. If you invite the children of your good friends, invite their parents to take part in the celebration, but agree in advance that it is a children's birthday and you need help, and sit down with a glass of tea some other time. By the way, your little son will not necessarily be delighted with the company of the daughter of your school friend, whom he sees for the first time in his life. If your toddler wants to invite his friends from the yard or kindergarten, you don't have to accept their parents.

If you do not want your apartment to turn into a madhouse, schedule the holiday in advance, literally by the minute. You can come up with a lot of interesting stories, remember games, contests from your fun childhood. First, think about where your holiday will take place. You can celebrate your birthday in Terem-Teremka, Barbie's house, on spaceship or in the parking lot of the Indians. With the help of pieces of wallpaper painted with gouache or old sheets, the nursery will instantly turn into a magical world. And from cardboard boxes, milk bags, old pieces of fabric, you can prepare masks, costumes, utensils with your baby in advance. Now it will be possible to arrange funny competitions for the inhabitants of Teremok, a competition for the best painting of a wigwam, and compete in the ability to climb a rope into open space. Fantasy will tell you how to adapt a variety of children's games and entertainment to the theme of your holiday. Do not forget that you need to alternate between active and quiet games so that the children do not get over-excited.

If you have planned games and contests for which prizes are relied on, remember: the prizes must go to absolutely everyone and be the same, otherwise you cannot avoid resentment, tears, perhaps even fights and other, not festive, griefs.

One of the favorite games of children is forfeits. Unfortunately, parents often turn this fun game into the violent demonstration of children's talents. In no case should a “fant” be required to “sing a song,” “play the violin,” etc. For a shy child, public speaking is a painful test, and a really talented number can cause the envy of other children, and the evening will be ruined ... Better have fun with all the heart, crowing under the chairs and jumping on one leg with a saucepan on your head. And then you can all together compose and perform a song in honor of the birthday man, or play a little scene, in which all guests, both children and adults, will take part, or roll out a roll of wallpaper and draw a huge festive poster with crayons.

The culmination of the holiday can be a treasure hunt. Hide the "treasure" in advance (small souvenirs, birthday cake, balloons, sparklers). The game is built on the principle of a "quest": with the help of an encrypted hint (it can be a rebus, a crossword puzzle, a logical puzzle, quite difficult, but accessible to children), you need to guess where the next clue lies, and so on until the treasure itself is found. It is important that the puzzles are fun but intriguing. Make sure that more active children do not scrub quietly.

Finish the holiday with a quiet game. You can, for example, cut out snowflakes, flowers or maple leaves from paper, depending on the season, and build a suspended structure on strings (mobile). You can light candles and read a fairy tale to the children. The main thing is for the children to cool down and calm down before their parents arrive. When the guests begin to disperse, open the window, and go with the child to see them off. When you return, consider the gifts and go to bed early. Sit a little longer by the baby's bed, remember what was good for that evening.

Believe me, such a holiday will be remembered for a long time by you and your child and his guests. As you can see, if you approach the matter competently and with imagination, then a children's birthday can be fun, interesting and with the least expenditure of effort, nerves and money.

Based on the results of the trip, you can together make a magazine "Around the World" with the most interesting photos evenings, drawings and stories of the participants.

Birthday scenario for children 5-10 years old

Feast of the Elements, or Eighth Birthday

The advantage of this scenario is that it can be adapted for any age from 5 to 10 years, replacing bird animals, vegetables, berries with more common (bear, bunny, cockerel, potatoes, cherries) or more rare (panther, koala, hummingbird , squash, rutabaga). This scenario is equally interesting for girls and boys.

The holiday is dedicated to four elements: water, air, earth, fire. But, if there are five children, you can also add the sun. The holiday can be adapted for more children. You can add the moon, stars, and for 8 children, 2 people can represent each element.

You need to prepare in advance:

5 flowers cut from paper - white, blue, red, brown, yellow;

5 envelopes of these five colors or just white envelopes (children will put earned tokens and prizes into these envelopes);

5 shawls or scarves in these colors;

5 toys (5 animals living on the ground, 5 waterfowl, 5 birds), but more is possible;

40 tokens that will be given for a correctly completed task.

It's good if there is an opportunity to decorate the room, add elements of all the elements: draw a sun on cardboard and hang it from the cornice, the river can be depicted on a carpet (you can glue it out of cardboard or just throw a piece of blue cloth on the floor). The earth is in flower pots, air - in balloons, fire - you can light a few candles, which will add solemnity and mystery to the holiday.

In addition to the leader, a judge is also needed who will distribute tokens.

Children take turns pulling paper cut flowers out of their hat. Who got what flower - this determines who will be who at this holiday: white - air, blue - water, red - fire, brown - earth, yellow - sun. Each is tied around the neck with a scarf or scarf of the corresponding color, an envelope is issued, the flower is attached to the clothes.

Leading. Dear children, you certainly know that you and I live surrounded by 4 elements: water, air, earth and fire (the presenter points to each child, naming him the element). And even here, in this room, we are surrounded by these elements. Today we gathered at the celebration of these elements and invited our beloved Sun to visit. Let's get acquainted. To do this, you close your eyes for a moment and imagine who you are. And then tell us.

Competition for best story About Me

Everyone talks about their element. For example: “Good afternoon, let's get acquainted, I am the air. I like to live everywhere, both in water and in the ground, but most of all I like to live in a balloon, for example, in this one. You all know me, because I am in every person. "

If children are small, they need help so that they quickly "get used" to their role. Everyone gets a token.

Leading. So we met. And now I will name different animals, and you have to show what this animal, fish or bird does. If it walks, you walk, if it swims, you make movements with your hands, as in swimming, if it flies, you wave your hands, and if some animal can both swim and walk (walk and fly) make two movements at once.

Game "Animals, birds, fish"

The presenter names different animals, birds, fish (elephant, swallow, panther, penguin, pike, chicken, dolphin, turtle, crocodile, etc.), and the children run around the room and wave their hands (you can listen to music). The token is received by the one who has never made a mistake.

Leading. Many of those animals, fish and birds that I have just named came to visit us, but for now they hid in this room. Let's find them!

Find toys game

Children must find 3 toys each: one waterfowl, one flying and one walking on the ground. Again, you can turn on music for the duration of the search. Each then must justify his choice. The token is awarded to the one who has chosen the right toys.

Leading. Now let's play another game.

Game "Where am I?"

Each child (ie, each element) in turn asks the question "Where do you meet me?", The rest take turns answering. For example, where do we meet water? In a river, a puddle, an ocean, a bottle, a pipe, etc. The token is received by the one who has given the most non-repeating answers. The game is repeated 5 times (once for each element).

Leading. We are even more convinced that the 4 elements surround us everywhere. Not only people live in the three elements, but also plants. Now we are going to play "Vegetables". I will name different vegetables, and you will show where the edible part of this vegetable plant grows: if in the ground, then you sit down, cover your head with your hands, if above the surface of the earth, you get up.

Game "Vegetables"

The presenter names different vegetable plants (carrots, zucchini, potatoes, beans, pumpkin, cabbage, radish, turnip, etc.), and the children squat or stand up. The token is received by the one who has never made a mistake.

Leading. Now let's play the game "What can you do with me." I will ask a question, everyone will find the answer to himself, raise his hand and shout “yes” if the answer is “yes” and will remain silent if the answer is “no”. For example, I ask: "Can you be seen?" Earth, water, fire and sun all answer yes, but the air is silent.

Game "What can you do with me"

You can come up with different questions for the game, for example: "Can I touch you (throw, draw, pour, light up)?", "Can I jump on you (sit)?" The last question, which leads to the next competition: "Can I sing a song about you?" Everyone answers yes. The token is received by the one who has never made a mistake.

Leading. You all answered the last question correctly, we know many songs about earth, water, fire, air and sun. Let's sing them!

Song Contest

Each child sings a song about his element, everyone picks up and sings together. You can sing songs with the words "river", "sea", "stream", "rain", "snow" (about water), "sky", "clouds" (about air), "flame", "fire" (about fire), "planet", "forest", "grass" (about the earth). Everyone gets a token. When everyone sings a song, you can continue to sing and recite poems, make riddles at will.

Leading. Guys, you are just great: dexterous, smart, resourceful. Have you forgotten to whom our holiday is dedicated today? Of course, to the birthday man (tse), let's congratulate him (her).

You can congratulate along with all the adults. The birthday boy stands in a circle, the rest are given leaflets where the adverbs “quickly, slowly, accurately, boldly, cheerfully, skillfully, funny, loudly, quietly, cheerfully” are written, etc. The presenter reads the beginning of the sentences, and each ends them with his own word.

Congratulation

“We wish you to get up in the morning ..., do exercises ..., wash ..., have breakfast ..., go to school ..., answer in class ..., sing in the choir ..., etc.". The more ridiculous the endings are, the more fun. After the congratulation, the traditional "Loaf" is performed and a cake with candles is introduced.

Leading. In addition to the cake, we have prepared treats for you that are similar to each of you. If you guess right, get these treats. What treat looks like the sun? (Orange, lollipop). Into the air? (Popcorn, white aerated chocolate). Dark chocolate looks like earth, some light drink, juice looks like water, red pepper looks like fire (for laughter).

Then, for every 2 tokens earned, the children receive a prize (its name can be taken out of the cap). You can give a prize for each token, and for every three, it all depends on how many tokens and prizes you have. Among the prizes are various interesting and useful little things (pencils, coloring books, stickers, felt-tip pens, notebooks, albums, notepads, key chains, etc.).

Birthday scenario for girls 6-8 years old

Fairy Festival

In addition to decorations for the room (balloons, streamers, garlands), for each fairy you can make a fairy cap and a magic wand.

Leading. Dear guests, you know that we have gathered today for the birthday of _______. It is customary to give gifts for a birthday - and you have already brought wonderful gifts. You probably love receiving and giving gifts? Which of your gifts do you remember the most? Who do you think can give the most magic gifts? That's right - fairies and wizards. What fairy tales do you remember in which magic gifts were given? Do you know that you and I are also a bit of a fairy? Today we will go to the Fairy Land for the Festival! To do this, we need to go to a fairyland, where each of you can become a real fairy and give each other magical gifts. I’m now going to turn on magic music - you all have to dance to it, and we will find ourselves in the land of fairies!

(Beautiful slow music sounds, the overhead light is extinguished, a sconce or a pair of candles are burning in beautiful candlesticks. magic wand... Now she is a fairy of songs! The music stops, the lights come on.)

Leading. Our first fairy is the fairy of songs. She will now give us talent and love for singing, and in gratitude to her we will sing the most birthday song.

(The fairy waves her wand at everyone, and the girls sing "Let them run awkwardly ...".)

Leading. But to get into magic land, we must all turn into fairies. Let's dance on!

(The second fairy is a dancing fairy! Children play with her in "If you have fun, do this!"

Movement can be as follows: two claps in front of the chest; two finger clicks, etc.

To give the dancers some rest, the next girl turns into a fairy of quick wits. Having conjured up more intelligence to the girlfriends, she helps the presenter to guess cunning riddles (see in the scenario "A virtual journey in search of the Scroll of Fortune").

The next guest becomes a fairy of agility and helps the host to play the game.)

Confusion game

A driver is selected, who for a while comes out or turns away. Children stand in a circle and join hands. Then they try to "get entangled" in every possible way, while you can crawl under someone's clasped hands, step over the hands, but you cannot open them. Upon returning, the host must carefully unravel the "confusion", taking care not to harm the players.

(Not the most successful game for young ladies in smart dresses and fairy caps - nevertheless, girls really like it, and they play it for a long time and with pleasure. Then the fairy of goodies appears.)

A blindfold-blind-eyed guessing game, traditional for children's parties, is held - the fairy will gladly feed her girlfriends.

(The next fairy appears - the drawing fairy.)

On a large sheet of Whatman paper, little fairies endowed with artistic talent draw a holiday poster together.

Any fairy tale or miniature is staged. All nouns (including inanimate objects) are roles. Roles are assigned by lot (do not forget about the author who reads the text) and the pantonym presentation begins. For instance:

Summer has come.

Butterflies fly merrily in the clearing.

A Girl comes running with a butterfly net in her hands and tries to catch the Butterflies.

But the Butterflies are nimbly flying in different directions.

A boy walks by.

He was thinking about something and did not notice how he crashed into a tree.

The boy rubs his bruised forehead and cries. The girl holds out the Coin, the Boy thanks and puts the Coin to his forehead. Children join hands and cheerfully leave the forest ...

It's a lot of fun.

Birthday scenario for children 6-10 years old

Gathering of Spies

Visitors who come are warned in advance in their invitations that their clothes must contain an element of the Spy masquerade - black hats, glasses, and so on. The invitations should be interesting, for example: "Such and such is called to the Emergency and Extremely Secret gathering of spies, which will take place then and there, and the information should be kept in strict confidence."

In the invitations there is also a tear-off birthday pass, which the birthday person takes at the entrance and, in exchange, offers to choose one of the badges that lie right there, face down. They are printed: "Spy of the highest (first, second, extra, etc.) category __ (empty space for the name) codename Agent 001 (Black Cloak, Indestructible, Sly Dog, etc.)". The guest enters his name there and pins the badge to the clothes. It also allows you to make comic photos of animals or stars with a black rectangle in front of your eyes.

It is better not to interfere with the teams (spy groups), but put each team together - for example, put napkins under the plates in the color of the group. You can also lay out pieces of paper with assignments under the plates: “The owner of this note must pretend that he is a tree ( infant, old man, dog, etc.) ". Spies must have the gift of transformation. This will amuse the children. Announced toast competition.

The spy team must understand each other perfectly. Each group is invited to say a collective toast: the first starts, stops at the very interesting place, in mid-sentence, the neighbor continues, etc. The last in the team finishes the congratulation. The best toast is given a point - for example, a token with 1 point, printed on colored paper and cut out (you need to have a little more than contests in case of a draw).

When everyone has had a snack, you can start the contests themselves.

Competition "Fine Test"

A spy must get out of any situation, even in a tied state, especially when he has a secret report. Each group is given a large sealed envelope with a note inside, folded in half. The group should select two people who, with their hands tied behind their backs, should tear the envelope, unfold the message, give it to their group, and those should read it and quickly execute it. It will say that a visual test will now take place, the group should select one person who should run to the kitchen (to the bathroom, etc.), and there, under a saucepan on the table (a towel in the sink, etc.), take a package with the things necessary for the competition. The main thing is that it is for each team. different places at equal distance from the competition venue. The group that got the package first wins and receives a token.

The package contains sheets of paper marked which team they belong to, half the number of people in the group and the same number of markers. Each group is divided into two equal parts, one part of them leaves the room, the other remains, on one upper third, each draws the head of a boy or a girl - to choose from, for clarity, next to it signs the name of the drawn person, folds the sheet so that only the neck remains visible ( not hair!). Now these halves of the team are leaving, others are coming. They are allowed to finish the rest of the body - also a boy or a girl and sign the gender (m or f). Now teams are invited, the presenter says that the figures show people and spies - they are easy to distinguish, since the spies are disguised - and shows the pictures. The team with the most spies, that is, drawings with the head of one sex and the body of the other, wins. This group receives a token.

Spies do not always have the ability to talk. They must be able to explain themselves without words.

Spy pantomime competition

From each group, in turn, one person is allocated. He is put on a bandage over his mouth (for effect), is strictly forbidden to speak, and he is allowed to draw a note from an envelope with a secret meeting place. He must mimic in 3 minutes what place is indicated in the note: school, maternity hospital, toilet, bathhouse, museum, kindergarten, prison, insane asylum, etc. The team that guesses the place of appearance the most times gets a token.

Spies working on the same team need to be able to read each other's minds.

Mind Reading Contest

From each team, two people are called in turn. They pull from the secret envelope one questionnaire with three possible answers and circle the one that is closer to them. The presenter picks them up and asks one question of the questionnaire to another. For example, the question: “If you could turn into an animal, what kind? Into a pig, into a mosquito, into a six-legged five-wing? " The second participant is asked: "What kind of animal do you think he would like to turn into - a pig, a mosquito or a six-legged five-wing?" And vice versa - for the second participant the question of the first. The group with the highest match wins. It would be nice if the questions were as funny as possible. “If you were born a girl, what hair color would you like to have? Green? Orange and red? A bald girl? " “If you were born a boy, what would you like to be called? Panteleimon? Frol? Alexandrite Dunovezhsky? "

The head of the Spy School is also having his birthday today! He needs to write a congratulatory telegram. Groups are given a blank - a text with missing adjectives. It must be filled in by entering the most flattering words (adjectives) - the chef loves flattery! The text is something like this: “........ and ....... our CHEF! Happy ..... ... birthday! We wish you to be ........., always ......... so that only ........ guests come to you today! We wish you a lot of .......... gifts, have fun, dance only .......... dance and sing only ............... songs! And you for us always remain the most ................ and .................! Respectfully yours ................... spies of the group (name). " After the teams have finished the telegram, they are invited to encrypt it. To do this, in the same sheet, with dashes instead of adjectives, you need to enter words that are antonyms of those already written. The presenter picks up the telegrams, leaves and soon returns - on the telegrams it is written in a sweeping red felt-tip pen - "Return to the sender." The presenter says what happened terrible mistake, the secretary did not decode our telegrams and so she handed them to the chef's table. The chief is furious! The telegrams are read out to the teams. The telegram that angered the chief the most gets a token.

Drawing "Pharaoh" (at first it is played by the host as a competition of courage). The facilitator must determine which group is the bravest! And for this you need to visit the tomb of the pharaoh, where it is dark and scary ... In another room, everything is ready in advance - the person participating in the rally is lying on the bed with his arms folded on his chest and legs stretched out, in his head he has a saucepan with warm pasta in oil (for slip). It would be nice to have another tape recorder with mournful music, in extreme cases, you can Pharaoh, and then remaining after the rally in the "Pharaoh's tomb" make the sound "MMMMMmmmmm ...." with his mouth closed, which is no less creepy. The leader takes one person from the group - in turn, blindfolds him and takes him to the second room. He says - there is a pyramid, an ancient tomb of the old deceased pharaoh ... And here is the pharaoh himself, he is lying in his tomb ... The leader takes the hand of the frightened one and touches it to different parts of the pharaoh's body. Here is the foot of Pharaoh ... And here are the ankles of Pharaoh ... And here are the knees of Pharaoh ... And here is the stomach of Pharaoh ... and here are the folded hands of Pharaoh ... and here is the face of Pharaoh ... And here are the brains of Pharaoh! With these words, the presenter quickly lowers the hand of the frightened person into a saucepan of pasta. The effect is amazing! Tokens are given to both groups.

Competition "Scenario from the life of a special agent"

The teams are given a piece of paper and a pen to write the script. One person at a time comes to the table and writes one phrase at a time, answering the question of the moderator. Examples of questions:

Competition-joke "Go to the zoo"

The teams are told that the name of the animal will be spoken to everyone in their ear. Each team will have one animal the same - that is, each team will have one ostrich, one hippopotamus, one giraffe, etc. the same animals from the other team. In fact, you ask each team one hare, one wolf, and all the rest - the word "crocodile". It looks awfully funny. The host says: "Squirrel!" All are standing. "No squirrel ... Badger! .. No badger .... Now we are ready .... Hare!" Two people fall to the floor. It is remembered who fell first. "Now, uh ...

Wolf!" Two people again. "Next ..... Elephant! .. No elephants? ...... Lynx! ..... No lynx? ...." Everyone is tense, ready to fall. "... Eeee, nakoneets ...... attention ..... crocodile!"

There is a note in the envelope, which says that the group needs to select two responsible and neat spies, they have to go there (for example, to the bedroom, open the closet) and bring what will amaze you there (there is a cake hidden in the closet). From the group, two more brave spies should be singled out, who need to go there (to the kitchen, to the refrigerator) and bring something that clearly does not belong there (candles for the cake). The same with matches (for example, what is in the bathroom with toothbrushes, but is an unnecessary item), etc. - saucers, napkins, spoons, a knife - if the size of the team allows.

Birthday scenario for children 7-12 years old

Pirates of the Caribbean

The script is interesting for both boys and girls if they like this movie. Guests are greeted by the Oracle-Calypso (disguised mother) and the hero (culprit) of the occasion in the costume of one of the main characters (Jack Sparrow or Elizabeth). They explain that today the children are going to become pirates and go in search of treasures.

Guests enter a room decorated in the Black Pearl style. The children's sports complex can successfully represent a pirate ship. If you don't have a sports center, you can hang black sails and a pirate flag on cabinets and curtains. You can even make a ship's wheel.

Initiation into pirates

Here, guests will be tested for suitability for the pirate service. Will Turner (dad in disguise) offers children the following tasks:

Jump up to the ceiling - the guest is blindfolded, behind him there is someone with a board or other solid surface. The guest has to jump, he jumps, but does not reach the ceiling. Asks to jump again, while above the guest's head he raises the board to such a height that the guest can reach it.

Find a cache in the dark - the guest stands in front of a chair with some object, moves away from it by 8-10 steps, then the guest is blindfolded, asked to turn around and walk back to the chair and take the object. The rest of the guests can give advice in choosing a direction.

“Pack mine” - two guests stand side by side, hand in hand. The touching hands are tied to them, and with their free hands, the two of them must wrap the bundle in paper and tie it with a ribbon.

Go through the "maze" - already arrived guests make a maze of rope, new guest must remember the route, then they blindfold him and quietly remove the rope.

When all the tests are passed, the Oracle-Calypso helps the guests to dress up in pirate costumes(To do this, you should prepare bandanas, black blindfolds, toy daggers, pistols, etc.). When the pirates are dressed up, you can start looking for treasures.

"Treasure hunt"

First, the pirates have to assemble a map from the fragments. The map must be prepared in advance. On a sheet of Whatman paper we draw a map that vaguely resembles the silhouette of an apartment. In this case, the closet can be called a rock, the kitchen - the sea, the living room - a swamp, the bathroom - a volcano, etc. Appropriate signs should be posted at the entrance to these premises.

When the card is ready, we cut it into pieces of irregular shape and into back side From these pieces we draw various objects that pirates need: a pistol, a bottle of rum, a chest, gold coins, a candle, a ship's steering wheel, a compass, a skull and bones, etc.

To give the task additional complexity, you can prepare dummy fragments from another sheet of Whatman paper. Items of pirate symbols are also drawn on them.

Before the arrival of guests, all these fragments should be hung on the walls and furniture in different rooms.

When the map is collected (for convenience, it can be sealed with tape), the pirates go in search of the treasure. The path will be difficult. First, you need to overcome the swamp with two pieces of paper - "bumps", shifting them as you move. Then you need to show the skill of navigation: pass the reefs blindfolded. The reefs depict water bottles or juice bags placed on the floor.

These obstacle courses can be set up in the corridor or in the hallway so that after passing them, the pirates are in another room. On the map, it can be designated as the Caribbean Sea. Here you need to find a hidden chest, which will give instructions on the direction of further searches. It can be another, small, card, or a direct indication (for example, "search in the refrigerator"). Another chest will be found in the refrigerator on the shelf (its role can be played by a box), where instead of treasures the pirates will find an ominous message from Davey Jones: “The treasures have been stolen by me! Look for them on The Flying Dutchman. " For added credibility, you can add a black mark to the message!

The pirates return to the pirate ship room, where they are greeted by the terrible Davy Jones. He promises to return the stolen treasures on condition that the pirates complete his tasks.

Davey Jones Missions

A test of courage. We call the three most daring and offer to break an egg on the forehead, one of which is raw! (Actually, all three eggs are boiled, but the kids don't know that.)

Test of wits. Davey Jones asks guests questions, answers the one who guessed first.

1. Which month is the shortest? (May - there are only three letters in it)

2. What is the worst river? (Tigris River)

3. Can an ostrich call itself a bird?

4. What stands between the window and the door? (The letter "and")

5. What can be cooked but not eaten? (Lessons)

6. What happens to the green ball if it falls into the Yellow Sea? (It gets wet)

7. Which hand is the best for stirring tea?

8. What question cannot be answered “yes”? (Are you sleeping now?)

9. What kind of comb should not be used to brush your hair? (Petushin)

10. The man was driving a large truck. The headlights were off, there was no moon, and there were no lights along the road. The woman began to cross the road in front of the car, but the driver did not run over her. How did he manage to see her? (There was a day)

11. What tree does a crow sit on when it rains? (On wet)

12. What kind of dish can you eat nothing from? (From empty)

13. What can you see with your eyes closed? (Dream)

14. What do we eat for? (At the table)

15. When the car is driving, which wheel does it not spin? (Spare)

16. Why do you go to bed when you want to sleep? (By gender)

17. Until when can you go to the forest? (Until the middle - further you go from the forest)

18. When is a man a tree? (When he is from sleep, that is, "pine")

19. Why does the cow lie down? (Because she can't sit down)

20. Can it rain two days in a row? (No, since the night separates the days)

Artistic check. It is necessary to depict chewed gum, a box from under a cake, a boiling kettle, a handle with an ending rod.

Finally, Davey Jones says that all conditions are met, except for one: the treasure must be redeemed. He calls 3-5 volunteers and informs everyone in the ear that it will be a ransom (all different, for example: a bag with a million dollars, a kilogram of sweets, a carriage, etc.). The chosen child must, with the help of a pantomime, explain to the others what it is. After everything is guessed and fulfilled, Davy Jones gives the treasure to the pirates. The treasure can be a chest filled with chocolate coins or other prizes.

Then everyone goes to the "pirate party" in the "tavern".

Costume making tips

Jack Sparrow Wig can be made from old nylon knee-highs or black tights cut lengthwise. Black gloves will also work. You can braid your braids out of a skein of black yarn. Multi-colored beads need to be strung on the braids.

Davey Jones Wig you can do this: 3-4 pairs of old tights gray stick in long strips of foam rubber. The tights are pulled over the head with an elastic band, so that the "tentacles" hang down.

Birthday scenario for girls 8-10 years old

Witch party

Costumes required for the party:

1. Baba Yaga- a bandana on the head, an old spacious skirt with sewn (roughly) bright patches.

2. Damn grandma- a black headscarf and bright horns on the hair band.

3. The ghost of the drowned woman- a translucent dark scarf on the head and on top of it - beads with an elastic band.

4. Evil sorceress- a cap pasted over with a black bag, with an elastic band under the neck, a black cape with foil stars.

5. Witch- a hat with brim, on it there is a translucent dark scarf tied under the chin, on the brim there is an artificial mouse.

6. Kind sorceress- a crown-rim and a light cape with tinsel.

The distribution of roles, who will be whom, is determined by the drawing of lots, this can be played ominously - pulling toy spiders from the bag with attached leaves, for example.

The adult presenter Leshy (costume - you can put an artificial vine on your hat) helps to put on the costumes, and the girls paint their faces with green, brown, gray, black shadows.

After that, you need to put the children at the table that has not yet been laid, hand out sheets of paper and felt-tip pens and give the task - to draw and write an ominous birthday card for the birthday boy with your own hands.

Further, before the entertainment program, a feast follows. Dishes need to come up with thematic original names - "Lovely Potion Cocktail", "Koschei's Favorite Sandwich", "Fish Magician Spell" canapes, etc.

At the table, each girl congratulates the birthday girl - she reads a composed greeting card and gives a gift - each needs to be explained why she (the Witch, the Witch, etc.) gives exactly this (a magic doll, magic markers, a magic game, etc.), and what the gift is witchcraft.

The presenter Leshy says that today, at the witchcraft party, young witches will be tested. The girls are divided into two teams, they come up with names.

Test one

The team is given markers and Whatman sheets. In three minutes it is necessary to draw a terrible and terrible Zlyukin Pugalkin. The team with more than interesting pattern... She is awarded a "dead mouse" (the body is an oval made of cardboard, the tail is a string).

Second test

The team is given two balls (head and torso), they must be tied together and with markers draw a skull and bones on them to make a skeleton. The team with a better skeleton gets a "dead mouse".

Third trial

Cut the drawings from the first test - each into 10 parts, give the team according to someone else's drawing. The winner is the team that correctly assembled the whole drawing faster than the other. A "dead mouse" is presented.

Fourth trial

The art of broom handling is being tested. Deep bowls of water and various fruits floating in them are placed on the floor (2 grapes, 2 mandarin slices, 2 strawberries). The girls stand at the opposite end of the room. Each team is given a broom. On command, the first participant sits astride a broom, runs to the bowl, eats one fruit without using her hands, returns and passes the broom to the next. The “dead mouse” is received by the team whose bowl is emptied faster.

Fifth trial

From matches (or sticks), each team must lay out the word "spell". The fastest team wins. The prize is a "dead mouse".

Sixth trial

Teams are given their skeletons from the second trial. You have to slap them without using your hands. The team that managed to complete this task faster than the other gets a "dead mouse".

Seventh trial

The task is given - the teams write ten ominous or witchcraft words on a sheet of paper. And now, using all these words, you need to write a letter to Leshem the leader. The host reads them out loud. The dead mouse gets the most interesting letter.

The mice are being counted. The winning team is awarded an edible mouse made from ice cream, jelly, or cream, while the losing team is awarded a spider made from the same material. The cake "Greetings from an abandoned castle" is brought in (you can put a white spider web of cream on the chocolate icing). Before blowing out the candles, each guest must say what a good deed he would do if he really had magical powers. Then the birthday girl makes a wish and blows on the candles. If everything blows out, it means that everyone's wishes will come true.

The presenter is a daughter (son). I want to show you some funny and hilarious magic tricks. I suggest that you write your plan on pieces of paper (for example: drink a glass of juice, look at the ceiling, etc.), glue these sheets in an envelope and give it to me.

Focus "I am clairvoyant (s)"

For the uninitiated, what follows looks like this. The magician takes the envelope, puts it on the table, covers it with his palm and says: “They ask me to look out the window. Was there such a request? " The magician at this time opens the envelope and reads the contents of the note to himself. Someone answers: "Yes." The session continues. The magician takes the next envelope, etc. What is the secret? At the beginning of the session, the magician asks his sister (mother, grandmother) to join the drawing, having previously agreed with her about the content of the note in the envelope, and it is also necessary that she somehow mark the envelope (for example, fold a corner). The magician will take this envelope last. And having taken any envelope, he "reads thoughts" not from the envelope in his hands, but from an agreed agreed phrase written by his sister (mother, grandmother). When the magician seems to be checking what he has written against what he has “read,” he is actually memorizing the contents of the note in order to “read” it while guessing the contents of the next envelope.

The presenter is a daughter (son). Now I want to show you a small draw "At least three times"... Who would like to participate? Here's a strip of paper. I bet you can't rip it three times? "

The participant replies that he will cope with such a trifle and will now show how it is done. It really breaks the strip. The presenter raises his eyebrows in surprise and says: "But I told you - from three ..."

The presenter is a daughter (son). The next competition is game "I believe - I do not believe". I ask the question, do you answer "yes" or "no". Do you believe that:

1. Ball pen used to be used only by military pilots? (Yes)

2. Are turnips grown most of all in Russia? (No, in America)

3. Can a rainbow be seen at midnight? (Yes)

4. Are firefly beetles used as lighting fixtures in some countries? (Yes)

See also the questions in the Virtual Journey in Search of the Scroll of Fortune.

The host is mom. I suggest you play game "Fanta"... Children are given a hat in which there are notes-forfeits (for example, telling a joke, dancing an oriental belly dance, singing the song "Let them run awkwardly ...", etc.)

The presenter is a daughter (son). And now Competition "Questions for quick wits".

1. Which European capital stands on the mown grass? (Paris, on the Seine)

2. What key can't you put in your pocket? (Treble)

3. What state can you wear on your head? (Panama)

See also the questions in the Pirates of the Caribbean scenario.

Tokens are awarded for the first correct answers.

The host is mom. Guys, you are great: dexterous, resourceful, smart. Have you forgotten to whom the holiday is dedicated today? Of course, the birthday boy (tse). Let's congratulate him (her).

"Comic congratulations"

The birthday boy (tsa) gets up, the guests are given a box with little notes-words (boldly, quickly, accurately, slowly, loudly, cheerfully, cheerfully, skillfully, beautifully, quietly). The leader reads the text, and the children take turns taking out notes, finishing sentences and sticking words on the postcard. The more ridiculous, the more fun. Then everyone puts their signatures. Approximate text for a birthday girl (for a boy, words need to be redone):

Dear birthday girl! Congratulations on your anniversary!

We wish you that you

I got up in the morning .....................,

The birthday boy (tsa) thanks all the guests and asks to leave his self-portraits, and each must draw himself blindfolded, and then sign with his name. It turns out very interesting and funny.

Then the number of tokens is counted and prizes are awarded.

You've all probably watched the Mulan cartoon. Did you know that Mulan Hua is the national heroine of China who really lived in 589-618? The crypt with the grave in which she is buried is located in Dajou Village, Yucheng County. She became famous for the fact that instead of her elderly father she went to fight and became a shining example of courage and resilience. The young girl was able to steadfastly endure all the suffering and hardships of the war and bring victory to her homeland. Today we will be looking for the Scroll and Talisman of Fortune together with Mulan.

At the end of our evening, the yuan will be counted and prizes will be awarded according to their number.

Compliment contest

China is a country of ancient traditions and customs. It is known that Mulan was taught demeanor at school. When visiting, it is customary to be polite and good conversationalists, and always compliments to the hero of the occasion. So, the condition of the competition: “Sitting at the table, each in turn says gentle and pleasant adjective words to the birthday boy (tse), the one on whom the vocabulary, says a voluminous toast-wish. "

Leading (after the competition). Let's join in and raise a glass to such an extraordinary birthday boy (tsu). And the winner of the first competition is awarded the yuan. It seems to me that everyone passed this stage of the test of politeness with dignity.

If necessary, take a break for a meal.

Tricky riddles about fairytale heroes

Leading. Each nation has its own epic tales, legends, fairy tales. What will be offered to a girl named Mulan when she searches for her scroll, we are unlikely to guess. Let's try to guess riddles. The one who is the first to answer correctly is given 1 Chinese yuan.

Competition for girls "Geisha's Smile"

Leading. Girls, close your eyes and imagine that you have opened them in the mysterious, mesmerizing environment of the East. You've probably heard about geishas - these are women who can show all the beauty of the world through their tenderness, tact, politeness, through their knowledge. Not a single geisha will scream to be heard, she speaks softly, insinuatingly, softly, but everyone listens to her. There is always a smile on her face.

So, there are cards on the table. You must choose your own task card. Contestants should take turns smiling like:

Mona Lisa;

Scenes "Cheer up your friends"

Leading. There is an ancient Chinese legend about the evil beast Gongyan. According to an ancient legend, "gonyan" was a wild beast that brought many troubles to people. From his fierce appearance, the trees shed their foliage, and the land became barren. But the wise old man told the people that Gonyan was afraid of laughter and fun. We must drive away the evil beast so that eternal spring always blooms in our lives. Let's act out the scenes.

The presenter lays out the cards on the table. Children are divided into pairs and choose the card with the task themselves. Participants in the competition must take turns playing the scene.

Competition "Questions for quick wits"

Leading. In Chinese mythology, the Dragon is one of the sacred creatures, a symbol of spring and the East. The dragon is depicted in different ways: in the form of a large snake, an animal that resembles both a tiger and a horse, or a creature with a camel's head and a lizard's neck. And all because no one has ever seen him. In one of the legends of the Chinese people, it is said that the dragon king Da Wang fell ill at sea. And he had to turn to a doctor who lived in a fishermen's village, on the condition that he would never describe his patient. After asking the healer questions, the Dragon King made sure that before him a competent and smart man, and that he can be trusted with his health. Now I’ll ask you questions, but don’t worry, not medical ones ... So we’ll check which of us is smarter. The one who is the first to correctly name the answer is given 1 Chinese yuan.

And in order to avoid all sorts of misfortunes, all the spirits that come their way, you need to feed the dishes, the names of which begin with the letter of the bride's name. Now everyone in turn says the names of the dishes that begin with the letter of the name of the hero (tsy) of the occasion (for example, "L" - noodles, noodles, flatbread, liver sausage, liqueur, lemonade, kebab, lagman, etc.). The one on whom the vocabulary dries up speaks a voluminous toast-wish.

Leading. In this competition, everyone excelled. But it is necessary not only to keep the feather in the air longer, but also to dance.

Game "Search for the flower of happiness"

Leading. All of you are already a little tired, so I offer an interesting and informative story of flowers.

In the poem, the heroine is simply called Mulan. Mulan means magnolia (mu means tree and lan means orchid.) Mulan's name is often added with the surname Hua, which means flower. In China, there is a legend about the mysterious Flower of Happiness - the tulip. It symbolizes success, love and protection. They wear it on themselves to protect life from poverty and all kinds of failure. The tulip is the house of the elves. If tulips are blooming in your garden or there is a vase of tulips in your apartment, know that little people are flitting between the flowers, these are elves who have visited you. But as sometimes happens in a moment of misfortune and trouble, there is no saving flower of happiness at hand. Today you are given a unique opportunity to find the Flower of Happiness right here. I think that each of you will find exactly what he is missing ...

On the table are paper tulips with the text down. Each guest chooses his own flower of happiness and reads out loud what he needs to do at this stage of his life.

White tulips know how to cleanse the etheric fields.

To set yourself up for the job, place seven buds in the center of the room. Turn the vase a quarter turn every day. After a week, take the flowers out of the house and leave them outside. Your efficiency will increase.

Tulip red- the color of love.

Ask unobtrusively the one to whom you are not indifferent (on), whether he (she) likes red tulips. After that, at home, put a bunch of these flowers in a vase and every time, looking at the tulips, think about your boyfriend (girlfriend). And you will see that he (she) will treat you much better.

Orange tulips- the color of protest.

If you do not find anything in common with all the people around you, let tulips stand the night at your head. All feelings of protest, misunderstanding will go away. And the next day there will be mutual understanding around you, and your relationship with the people around you will become harmonious.

Yellow tulips attract money.

Decorate your home with bouquets of yellow tulips. Use fresh flowers or their image for this, because it also has the property of attracting money. Hang a picture of yellow tulips in a prominent place or make a screensaver on your computer, it will help you find wealth.

Variegated tulips are responsible for the diversity in life.

Place a bunch of colorful tulips in a prominent place in your room. As you pass the vase, smell the scent of the flower. After a while, dramatic changes will take place in your life.

Burgundy tulips symbolizes power.

Presenting a bouquet of burgundy tulips as a gift, you will win over a person. You can hope for his piety, generosity and kindness to you.

Marble tulips are responsible for the good attitude of people.

Tortured by conflicts at school and at home - put flowers in the center of the room. Enjoy their beauty. After a while, you will get rid of irritation, anger and benevolence and mutual understanding will reign around you.

Pink tulips improve mood.

If you are bored and tired of everything, buy a bunch of pink tulips. Put them in a vase and pay attention to them more often. This will not only lift your spirits, but also rid the room of the viruses of irritation and anger.

Comic lottery

Leading. Are you tired of outdoor activities - contests and games? Let's calculate the amount of RMB earned. One box contains prizes, the other contains rolled up notes with the names of the prizes. Each of you takes a note and reads what prize he got. And he takes it himself. The one with the most tokens starts.

Fortune telling on tea

Leading. Let's drink tea, but not plain tea, but Chinese green. The Chinese tea ceremony is not a simple tea drinking, it is a sacred event. Let's remember the Chinese tea fortune-telling. Chinese is suitable for fortune telling green tea without additives.

Basic rules of Chinese tea fortune telling:

Sugar is not put in tea for fortune-telling;

You need to brew a spoonful of tea right in the cup;

Cover it with a saucer or lid;

You need to wait no more than ten minutes before taking a sip, thinking about the issue that you want to clarify;

You need to take a cup of tea with your left hand, the one that is closer to your heart;

Then you need to drink all the tea to the bottom, turn the cup clockwise three times, turn it upside down, put it on a saucer, leave it in this position for a while;

When you solve the tea leaf pattern, the handle of the cup should be on the left side. Pay attention to the picture as a whole. Does the picture make up a multitude of disconnected, unrelated tea leaves? If the drawing is absolutely chaotic and the tea leaves are not communicated in any way, this means that Providence leaves your question unanswered for now. But by no means is this a negative answer! It's just that the time for an exact answer has not yet come. The shape of the tea leaves says a lot: if there are round tea leaves in the cup, your wish will certainly come true.

If you see light streams-stripes passing along the edges of the cup - the road awaits you. The strip on the outside of the cup predicts that the road will be long. The time of the upcoming action is determined by the location of the figure in the cup:

If it is on the edge of the cup or near the edge - present;

If symbols are located on the very bottom - to the distant future;

The closer the symbol is to the pen, the sooner the prediction will come true.

If you see a floating tea-leaf - wait for an expensive gift;

A tea stalk floating on the surface is a sign to guests from afar.

Consider the numbers and letters formed from tea leaves, which be sure to take note of, collecting the result of fortune-telling into a single whole. If the tea leaves have formed some kind of figure, we begin to solve!

(A detailed interpretation of the figures formed in the cup can be found in special books, or you can come up with your own interpretation, finding in the formed figures what is in common with some objects or symbols.)

Scroll game

Leading. Dear guests, now you have to plunge headlong into Chinese painting. In the Chinese painting tradition, there is a peculiar form of paintings - a scroll. You have to create such pictures, but not alone. To do this, the guests will take turns writing several lines of congratulations to the hero of the occasion and wrapping up what is written so that the next participant sees only the end of the phrase. After each guest writes something, we unfold the sheet and read what happened. The task is to write an original greeting without repetitions.

(Summing up, presenting the Scrolls and Talismans of Good Luck.)

Leading. Let's summarize. At the beginning of our holiday, you signed "Dedication to the Guest" and everyone fulfilled their oath: they had fun to the fullest, ate everything that was on the festive table, joked and said pleasant words to the birthday person (s), danced, sang songs, participated in sweepstakes and contests.

Our holiday was held in the Chinese style. We, following Mulan Hua, had to pass all the tests that she had to pass on her life path... All of you have passed the stages of contests and riddles with dignity to find your Scroll of Good Luck. Now we solemnly present you with the Scrolls and Talismans of Good Luck.

(The scrolls are made in advance, they say that such and such a guest was present on such and such a date, month, year at the birthday celebration, distinguished himself there by knowledge, resourcefulness, ingenuity, etc., etc. Talismans of good luck can be buy in a gift store, or you can draw and cut out of paper, giving insects, animals or flowers some meaning: for example, a butterfly - for luck, a frog for money, etc.)
