4.9 / 5 ( 31 votes)

Remember the main thing. Before the holiday starts, you must know exactly how many children there will be. The exact number of girls and boys is another important success factor. It may seem strange, but it is advisable that children of approximately the same age, plus or minus a year, be present at the holiday.

At this age, a difference of two years is already a whole abyss, both mentally and emotionally. Believe me, in case children's party It’s better to work with a homogeneous age environment...

So, stock up on candy and a smile.

Tricks

To begin with, it is important to interest children. Distract them from festive table and a tablet. If the first competition captivates them, then you can easily capture children’s attention and behavior until the end of the holiday. The best way- these are tricks. Children love everything unusual and mysterious.

If you don't have any special skills or knowledge of witchcraft and wizardry, here are some great examples.

• Focus “Colored water”

Take three small jars with screw caps. Show the children that you pour regular water into them one at a time. Then tell them that you will now say the magic words, and the water in the first jar will turn red, in the second - blue, in the third - green. To the “accompaniment” of the spells, lightly shake each jar and - lo and behold, the water really becomes multi-colored.

Secret: before performing the trick, paint the back of the jar lids with watercolors.

• Trick "Hand Snake"

Surprise the kids by telling them that you can use a regular ruler to bring a paper snake to life without touching it. Unbeknownst to the guys, rub the ruler on the woolen cloth you had prepared in advance. Bring the ruler first to the head of the snake cut out of paper, then to the snake’s tail, and the children will see a stunning sight - the snake moves its head and tail exactly in the directions in which you move the ruler.

Secret: acquired electric charge ruler allows you to attract light objects.

• Magic spoon trick

You will need an assistant to do the trick. You tell the guys that he will take a picture using an ordinary teaspoon or tablespoon, and you will be able to see on it the person who was caught in the “lens” of the spoon. Leave the room, the assistant pretends to take a photograph of one of the children. You go back, take the spoon from his hands and unmistakably name the child who was “photographed.”

Secret: the toe of the assistant’s right foot is aimed specifically at this child.

Outdoor games

During the holiday, it is necessary to let the children run around to their heart's content in order to release the energy bubbling inside. If possible, it is best to move outside. An example of an outdoor game could be: hide and seek, blind man's buff, blunders. Your task will be one thing. Ensure that children are not seriously injured by running, jumping or chasing. Remember the main thing! Such fun should not last more than 10-15 minutes, otherwise you simply will not gather the children. They will become very overexcited, and the holiday will be overshadowed by the introduction of parental repression.

Guess the beast

After the children have once again refreshed themselves and rested, the holiday can be continued with the excellent game “Guess the Beast”. We blindfold the first participant in the game. We give a soft toy (a bear, a bunny, a chipmunk, etc.) into their hands. The child’s task is to guess by touch which animal he is holding in his hands. It is better for the birthday boy not to play this game, since he knows his toys better than other children. If he still wants to take part, then invite him to guess the names of objects using other things.

An entertainment program is a mandatory attribute of any children's party. Fun birthday competitions for children 5-6 years old with prizes will definitely please the birthday boy and guests of the celebration. Outdoor games and amazing adventures Fantasy competitions will bring children together and leave indelible impressions of the holiday.

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

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

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

Game "Birthday Card"

Creative game. To carry it out, you need to prepare a large thick sheet of Whatman paper. Then you need to dilute the paints to finger painting in plates. The sheet needs to be fixed on the wall, at the height of a child.

Each child, in turn, must come up and draw one element: his handprint, “cat’s paws,” a flower, etc. The masterpiece remains as a keepsake for the birthday boy.

Game "Little Adults"

Game-entertainment. Allows children to try on adult life. It needs to be done outside. A private yard is the most suitable location.

All boys are given a shovel, a bucket of water and twigs as seedlings. Their task is to dig up the area, plant seedlings and water them. At this time, the girls must prepare lunch for their men: cut the bread, make sandwiches from the ingredients provided and pour the compote into glasses with a ladle.

When the boys finish their work, the girls bring them treats and have a picnic together.

Game "Creators"

Creative game. All children who are present at the holiday participate in it. They are seated at a table, given a sheet of paper, and colored pencils and markers are poured onto the center of the table. Each child is then given a helium balloon.

Participants must draw a face on the ball. Next, they need to draw the body of their hero on a piece of paper, cut out the drawing (with the help of adults) and attach it to the tail of the ball. After this, children can talk about their invented hero, who he is and where he comes from.

Game "Air Bouquets"

Several pairs of children participate in the game. To organize it, it is necessary to prepare large number balloons of different colors and sticks for attaching them. The balloons need to be inflated not very much and tied with a string, leaving a tail.

If the game is played indoors, the balls can be scattered around the room, and if outdoors, they can be placed in a basket. Each pair receives a stick. The task of each team is to build a bouquet of balloons, tying them on a stick, and present it to the birthday person.

The hero of the occasion chooses the winners - the creators of the most original and beautiful bouquet.

Game "Call of Blood"

All children invited to the holiday play the game. Its goal is to amuse the kids and bring positive emotions. At the beginning of the game, the leader speaks into each child’s ear the name of any animal (these should be simple and recognizable animals and birds): pig, cow, mouse, owl, chicken, dog, cat, wolf, bear. Each animal must be named to several children.

Competitions for children 5-6 years old will allow participants to demonstrate their dexterity, resourcefulness and ingenuity. Riddles will help develop logical thinking, memory. Active games will contribute to good physical development children and give them a positive mood. Completing the tests together will fill the holiday with cheerful laughter and joy.

2 girls are participating in the competition. To carry it out, you need to prepare 2 types of paper flowers and 2 baskets in advance. Before the competition starts, you need to scatter paper flowers on the floor. This will be a flower meadow.

The participants' task is to collect the maximum number of flowers of a particular type in a basket within a certain time. For example, one girl collects only daisies, and the other - roses.

The participant whose basket contains the most flowers of the desired type wins.

Creative competition. In it, children can show their flight of imagination and artistic talent. You need to prepare album sheets and pencils (according to the number of participants). On each sheet you need to draw only the eyes. The children themselves must complete the drawing.

You can invite them to depict, for example, an unprecedented animal or bird. Setting a specific topic will make it easier for the child to choose the direction in which he needs to create. You can also invite children to name their animal and tell a short story about it or describe its life.

Game "Riddles"

Game "I know everything"

In this game, children can show off their knowledge and learn a lot of new things. To do this you will need a ball. All participants line up in a row. The presenter offers to test the children’s knowledge on some topic, for example: “Pets.” He begins to throw the ball to the players one by one and name the animals. If the child hears the name of a domestic animal (for example, goat), he must catch the ball and throw it back to the leader. If the name of a wild animal is heard (for example, a crocodile), the participant must hit the ball.

A child who loses his vigilance drops out of the series. The game continues until the last player. If the children are very skilled, you can increase the pace so that the eliminated participants do not get bored.

Examples of topics: vegetables, fruits, trees, flowers, birds, fish

Game "Birthday Cake"

All children participate in the game. Before carrying out it, you need to draw a birthday cake on a large sheet of paper and make an exact copy of it on a small scale. The background of the picture should be colored - this will be more interesting for children. Next, the large sheet needs to be drawn out in the form of puzzles and cut along these lines. The paper should be thick enough to prevent players from tearing the puzzle pieces in the heat of excitement.

A birthday scenario for kids might look something like this.

Leading(this could be mom or dad). Dear guys, well done for coming. Let's congratulate our birthday boy (name) on his birthday, he (she) turned (age) years old today!

Children join hands and the birthday boy stands in the center of the circle.

The children begin to dance in a round dance called “Loaf”.

As on (name of the birthday boy) name day

We baked a loaf

Such a height

That's how wide it is!

Loaf, loaf,

Whoever you want, choose!

Birthday boy. I love, of course, everyone, but (says the name of the guest opposite whom he stands) most of all!

The selected child stands in the center of the round dance, and the guys continue. It will be enough to repeat the game two or three times.

Leading. Guys, what is the most important treat at a birthday party?

Children. Cake!

Leading. That's right, a cake, but bad luck - Kashchei got into our house and hid the birthday cake somewhere. Let's find him, guys! Are you willing to help us?

Children. Yes!

Leading. And our cake is very close, close, but to find it, you need to read the note that Kashchei left for us as a hint so that we could go through the fairy tale! And as in any fairy tale, there are tests waiting for us that we need to pass!

The song “Visiting a Fairy Tale” plays.

Children. Yes!

The “Hike Song” from the film “The Adventures of Masha and Vitya” is playing.

Leading. Then let's see if you're ready!

Can you run? Show me how. What about jumping? On one leg? On two? How about shouting loudly? What about clapping? What about stomping? Do you know how to read? Then you are ready! Let's read the note. The note says: “Help Cinderella.”

The song is from the cartoon "Cinderella".

Leading. Children, what do you think could have happened to Cinderella? Maybe she lost something? Children. Shoe!

Leading. Then we need to help find her a second one.

Shall we help? Children. Yes!

First competition. Cardboard shoes are glued to a piece of whatman paper. In the center of the Whatman paper there is a sample glued, according to which you need to find the second one. Next to each shoe there is a slot in which a note is inserted. It is clear that all the notes except one are empty.

After the desired shoe is found, the children read the note: “Look for the Snake.”

Leading. Children, do you know what kind of Snake we need to find? This is probably some kind of fairy tale hero...

Children. Serpent Gorynych!

Leading. Let's look for him!

Second competition. On the wall in one of the rooms hang three interconnected balloon with a painted dragon's face (nostrils and eyes).

Leading. And here comes the Serpent! Who here is not afraid of the beast and will fight the monster?

Children need to defeat the Snake using a toy sword. In one of the balls the guys find the following note: “Bird.”

Leading. Let's look for the bird. Look, the Eagle has flown to us! You need to fight him so that he gives the note.

Third competition. The picture with the Eagle is glued to the dartboard. Children need to hit it with a dart three times, then from behind the dart they get a note: “Fish.”

Leading. Now you need to catch fish to find the next note. But the path to the river is not easy, you need to walk on pebbles.

Competition Four. “Pebbles” are laid out on the floor in the room, along which children need to get to the “river” (this can be a simple bowl of water) and catch fish with a fishing rod (a stick with a magnet at the end). Fish can be made from colored paper by connecting the halves using two buttons, which will be the eyes of the fish. The buttons are inserted into each other with a point that is bent using pliers.

There is a note hidden in one of the fish: “Egg.”

Leading. Now we need to find some kind of egg. Who can help us with this? Hero of which fairy tale?

Children. Chicken Ryaba!

Leading. Then let's look for her.

Where does our chicken sit and guard her eggs?

Fifth competition. Soft toy Ryaba the hen sits in a basket with a lot of golden eggs scattered in it (these could be Kinder surprise boxes painted gold acrylic paint, or just yellow boxes), in one of them there is a note: “Chest.”

Leading. Where is Kashchei's chest? Let's look!

Competition sixth. Children find a toy chest, next to which there are many keys. Children need to choose the right key to open the chest. Inside the chest they find a note: "Cold." The word can be written on silver foil, which must be twisted into a needle shape.

Leading. But we’re not going to the North Pole, are we? Where can it be cold here? Let's think...
