If your kid is already between the ages of 5 and 7, you have a great opportunity to celebrate his birthday not only fun, but also useful. The fact is that during this period the personality of the child develops at a rapid pace in all spheres of life. In boys and girls during this period:

• increases intelligence and conscious curiosity;
• there is control over emotions;
• willpower and moral concepts appear;
• increases physical strength and endurance.

Where to celebrate a birthday

The main thing is that the child is no longer afraid of animators, or magicians, or any other professionals in the field of children's entertainment, but, on the contrary, is happy with them and really wants to take part in some exciting adventure or watch an experimental show. The birthday of a kid aged 5-7 years old can be celebrated in any place you like, respectively, both with and without animators. Such a place could be:

• children's cafe or restaurant. There are a lot of them now and all the conditions for family leisure are created there.
• Entertainment Center;
• nature;
• game room;
• museum.

Planning your child's birthday

If you have not entrusted the organization of the event for your child to professionals entirely, then you will need to draw up a celebration plan in advance (about 2 weeks before the long-awaited event) with traditional points:

• place and time of the event;
• booking a hall (it is important to do this in advance);
• number of guests;
• menu;
• accessories;
• program and script of the holiday and entertainment;
• birthday gifts and guests;

Remember that some children's institutions have their own rules for holding holidays, so you need to clarify them in advance. Also ask about the possibility of bringing some food or drinks with you. In some places, this is strictly prohibited, therefore, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises, it is better to find out everything in advance.

When organizing a children's event, parents always have a great responsibility and nervous burden. Therefore, it is better to think over all the little things of the holiday in advance, otherwise, in a hurry and nervousness, you can miss something important and spoil the joy of the child and his little guests.

Entertainment program for children's birthday

Sometimes parents still celebrate the birthdays of children aged 5-7 years (especially 5) at home. In this case, it is very important to carefully consider the entertainment program yourself. It is best to start with a birthday greeting. This process should be organized in a non-standard way in order to immediately set the tone for the holiday. For example, the voices of your favorite cartoon characters will be just right in this case. You can also congratulate your child in the costume of some funny animal or the hero of his favorite cartoon, or make a good one.

After the procedure for presenting gifts, you can proceed to games and contests.

Games and contests for the birthday of a child 5-7 years old

funny balls

Cheerful traffic light

This game involves the host, who is wearing clothes of three colors of a traffic light. The task of the children is to cross the road, carefully listening to the commands of the leader. If the leader says “red”, then only players whose clothes are red can cross the road, and the rest need to run so that the traffic light leader does not hit them with the ball. The one who got caught becomes the leading traffic light himself.

fun wave

Two adults stretch out a long, wide cloth and wave it like it's a sea storm. Dolphin players try to run under the fabric without being hit by it. If the fabric touches the dolphin, then he is out of the game.

Guess!

In this game, the host thinks of a word on a specific topic, which he tells the children. Participants must guess the word by asking leading questions, to which the facilitator answers in monosyllables: “yes” or “no”.

Nickname

The children stand in a circle and throw a ball to each other, coming up with a cute nickname, based on the character and appearance of the person to whom the ball flies. For example, a girl with white skin is Snow White.

The main thing in this game is that the gathered company should be friendly and polite, and indeed, give each other only pleasant nicknames.

Cats and mice

Favorite game of millions, especially those who attended kindergarten.))) Participants form a circle, holding hands. A player is placed inside the circle to represent the mouse. And the cat player becomes outside the circle. Her task is to get inside and catch the mouse. Children in a round dance actively prevent the cat from achieving its goal. The cat tries to crawl under the circle, jump over it or break the chain of intertwined hands of the participants. If she succeeds, then the children should immediately release the mouse from the circle and keep the cat in it. The game continues until the cat grabs the mouse.

windball

To play, you will need a plastic cap from a plastic bottle of water or lemonade. It is placed on the table exactly in the middle. Players are divided into 2 teams and are located on both sides of the table. Each team starts blowing on the lid, trying to blow it into the enemy territory.\

The task is to score a goal to the opponents. Pushing the object with hands or other objects is prohibited. The winning team receives a prize - a cup with a favorite drink.

This year, we played such air hockey. The children liked the game very much. I had to play a few games.

Strongmen

A game-mood and warm-up for the muscles of the face and ... the press. The children are given markers. They should be placed between the nose and upper lip of the child. The task of the participants is to keep the felt-tip pen in place as long as possible. And the task of adults is to make the “strong men” laugh.

Taster

One of the participants is blindfolded and put in his mouth a piece of something delicious: an orange, candy, banana, apple, plum, pear (prepare a wide range). By taste, the player must determine what is in his mouth. When a child makes a mistake, another player takes over.

Repeat the move

The attendees sit in a circle. The first participant shows the movement. The second player repeats the same movement, but adds his own. The third participant repeats two movements and also adds something of his own ... and so on in turn. The last player has the hardest time of all, who must repeat all previous movements without error. The one who gets lost is out of the game.

Giants and dwarfs

The adult leader takes turns saying the words: “dwarfs” - everyone should squat down; "giants" - everyone needs to get on their feet. The game requires attention and good coordination of movements.

The host is allowed to confuse the players. For example, he can give fake commands: “Cucumbers!”, “Cow!”. A participant who mixed up the team or was not attentive enough is out of the game.

Watch a few more games for a large company of children in this video:

Take care in advance about the reward for the losing participants, or better, small gifts for all participants. Winning and losing will be secondary. Give the kids a cute souvenir, a small toy, or something sweet from the table.

After games and entertainment, invite the children and their parents to the table. After the gala dinner, be sure to bring in a cake with the right amount of candles so that the birthday boy blows them out and makes his most cherished wish to the cheerful music.

Feast for children and adults

By the way, at this age, children are already beginning to understand whether the celebration is beautifully decorated. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to take care of the festive and original serving and table decoration.

• serve the main course on the same plates and with a single design plot;
• Prick canapes and desserts on wooden or plastic skewers that resemble forks (only with very blunt ends). After eating, the skewers must be removed immediately so that they do not become a subject for the game;
• Arrange the canapes on several small plates so that they can be placed at several ends of the table. If you don’t have a common table, then we place the plates on the windowsills, coffee table or bedside tables;
• choose some dense product as the basis for canapes - hard biscuits, bread, cucumber, marshmallows, root crops (so that there are no crumbs);
• avoid eating rye and gray bread for sandwiches - this is too heavy food for small tummies;
• to give originality to the dish, cut canapes in the form of shapes: square, oval, circle, star, heart;
• spread canapes between layers with sauce: cottage cheese, sour cream or low-fat mayonnaise;
• arrange the main meat dish in the form of funny hedgehogs, fish and crabs. Attach crab legs made from strips of boiled carrots or canned zucchini rings, and let the eyes be cloves or dark olives. In the form of funny little animals, you can arrange any children's salad;
• put several animals at the same time on a plate for each baby: for example, from salad and from meat - there will be no limit to the delight of the child;
• include sausages from a proven manufacturer (mandatory made according to the state standard) in your holiday diet, even if you don’t favor them in everyday life. You can make a lot of interesting and funny figures from sausages: turtles, octopuses, rabbits and dogs - everything that is enough for imagination.

After the feast and the solemn removal of the cake with candles, be sure to arrange a children's disco. Let the kids jump and frolic to the funny songs of cartoon characters. And let the kids have unforgettable impressions after the celebration!

Happy preparations and happy holidays!

Sincerely,

Marina Talanina and Lyudmila Potsepun.

Interesting birthday contests for children are an indispensable attribute of a modern holiday. Long gone are boring gatherings with eating cakes and not understanding what to do with your free time.

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

What competitions can be arranged? How to get kids interested?

Professional animators give advice:

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

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

Calm contests

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

Acquaintance

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

The host asks the children who have blue in their clothes to stand up and tell a little about themselves. The loan gets guys with yellow, red, green and so on. Everyone should introduce themselves, say a couple of phrases.

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

Learn the subject

For children from 4 years old. Put small presents in a large bag: sweets, apples, cars, dolls, oranges, balls. Anything that is easy to recognize by touch is suitable. The children take turns approaching the bag, lowering their hands, trying to figure out what object they got. The guessed item remains with the participant as a prize.

Cheerful artist #1

Competition for children 3-4 years old. Each guest receives a piece of paper, felt-tip pens, pencils. The task is to draw an animal familiar to everyone, for example, a bear cub or a hare. Everyone gets prizes. Prize categories: The most funny, The most accurate, The most original, I drew the fastest and so on.

Playing the artist #2

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

Are there many kids at the birthday party? Give each piece of paper, select a table for creativity. Sign the finished drawing, put a date, hand it to the birthday man to the applause of the guests.

Unseen Beast

For children from 6 - 7 years old. The competition develops imagination, originality of thinking. The facilitator's task is to prepare in advance a few questions about outlandish animals that do not exist in nature.

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

Options:

• What does a frying pan fish look like?
• How much does a hippo fish weigh?
• Where does the musician bird live?
• What are the wings of a crocodile bird?
• Who is Murmurenok?

word game

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

• first task. Name the dishes on the table with the letter K, then P, then B;
• second task. Which of the guests' name begins with the letter A, C, L;
• third task. What gift can you think of with the letter I, M, K and so on.

Broken phone

The competition is suitable for children from 5 years old. The game has been known for more than a dozen years, but basely cheers up the little guests. The more participants, the more unexpected the result, the more fun. Remember the essence: the leader quietly calls the word to the first of the children, he says the word in the ear to the second, then to the third, until he reaches the last participant. It is important to speak quickly, not to delay the queue, not to pronounce every syllable perfectly.

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

Funny contests

Funny birthday contests are suitable for toddlers and older children. Animators advise holding such games in the middle of the holiday, when the children got to know each other, got used to it, stopped being shy.

Fashion show

Suitable for children from 8 years old. Prepare a box of clothes and shoes in advance. Everything is suitable: from light dresses, thin scarves to a fur hat, gloves. Put in more stuff. Mandatory attributes for a cheerful mood are wigs made of different materials, horns, ears on a hoop, a fox or hare tail, belts, suspenders, flippers. If wearing high heels, choose a small size with a stable base to prevent falls.

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

Miracle Chamomile

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

funny answers

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

The host asks one participant to leave, sit on a chair back to the rest. An adult or one of the older children takes turns taking out a new sheet, shows the inscription to the guests, asks the participant: “What do you usually do in this place?”. The discrepancy in the answers amuses all the guests. Let a few people participate. The facilitator always feels when it's time to end the "survey", usually three or four participants are enough.

young talent

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

Children close their eyes, you can not peep. The facilitator takes turns leading the children to the paper. The task is to draw one detail at a time with your eyes closed. The first participant draws the head, the second - the torso, the third - the legs, and so on.

The competition is not boring, it cheers you up. It often turns out that the head "lives" separately from the body, and the tail grows from the ear. It turns out an unprecedented beast or an alien. The competition always amuses children of any age (and adults too). Usually two or three animals are enough.

fun flight

Game for children from 6 years old. You will need a thick scarf and a balloon. The host puts a ball on an empty table, brings the participant, makes it possible to remember the location of the object, blindfolds, takes 2-3 steps back. The child turns a couple of times (not very much, so as not to get dizzy).

The task of the participant is to blow the ball off the table. Very often, after turning, the child becomes facing in the wrong direction, blowing into the void. The task is funny, but not offensive to the participant.

Guess the animal

The game is suitable for children aged 6-7. Children are divided into two teams, write the name of the animal on the sheet, pass it to the leader so that the rivals do not see. The first command shows what this beast (bird) does with gestures, gait, facial expressions, but does not utter a sound. The second team must guess the animal. Prizes for all participants. Those who could not recognize the animal are rewarded, for example, with a piece of candy, and the winning team receives a home-made medal "Member of the Club of Connoisseurs".

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

Mobile and active games

Does the area allow for running around? Let the kids loosen up. Even in a medium-sized room with a small number of guests, fun competitions can be arranged.

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

The bottom line: guests - 7, chairs - 6. Place the chairs with their backs inward, form a circle. To the music, the children walk (run) around the chairs, the music is silent - it's time to take a seat, the late child is out. By the end of the competition, 1 chair remains, 2 participants. The winner will receive the “Most Agile” medal + a prize.

Unusual volleyball

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

Essence: children are divided into 2 teams, take places. Instead of a ball - a balloon. It is necessary to throw the "ball" on the opponent's field without getting up from the chair. The team that won the ball less often flew over the field.

Children's bowling

Cheerful children's competition from 7 years. Arrange 6-8 items on the floor. Suitable plastic pins, balls, cubes. Instead of a bowling ball - a plastic bottle (empty). The task is to knock down objects. The distance depends on the size of the room. Remove everything unnecessary from the floor so as not to break or break anything.

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