Birthday games for kids 10 11 years old. Ball games. "The fastest puzzle"

Usually, teachers and parents spend a lot of time organizing even the most insignificant children's events. At the same time, there are rarely problems with the selection of mobile contests. More often the question arises: how to persuade the children to sit quietly for a while and how to hold a quiz.

When preparing questions for a quiz, there are several important points to consider:

  • Children's age. AT school age every year matters. What is interesting to seven-year-olds may already seem boring to eight-year-olds.
  • Interests. Favorite games, movies, books. This is one of the most important factors in choosing questions.
  • Location.
  • The theme of the holiday, if any. For example, it can be a birthday in the style of pirates, or fairy fairies. Then most of the questions should correspond to the given topic.

Organization rules

In addition to preparation, the organization of the quiz itself also plays an important role. Active children are sometimes not so easy to interest intellectual game. Here are a few tips to help organizers meet this challenge:

  1. Around the quiz, you need to create a stir even before it starts. You can invite the guys to split into teams. Let them think of a name, a motto, choose a captain. Teams can take turns answering questions, and for each correct answer they will receive a token. Whoever scores the most will win.

If there are not very many children at the holiday, then each child can play for himself. You can conduct a quiz right at the table.

  1. Before a question, children can be asked to choose its topic. That is, all questions will have to be divided into groups. For example, animals, plants, cartoons, sports and so on. Here everything will depend on the interests of the young company.
  2. Must be musical accompaniment. It will be boring to answer questions in silence. For quizzes, it is better to choose rhythmic tracks without words.
  3. As a result, absolutely all participants should receive memorable prizes.

Video with quizzes:

After watching these videos, you will learn more options for questions for the children's quiz.

At 12-year-old birthday contests, the birthday boy and the company are unlikely to jump in bags and guess riddles in unison. A more serious program is needed here, for girls, for example, a beauty contest with a finalist birthday girl, for boys - with the main pirate - a birthday boy. Think through all the steps.

Competition or master class?

Now master classes are very popular. If the holiday takes place in a cafe, you can arrange a competition for best hairstyle from braided braids. And if you are choosing contests for a 12-year-old birthday at home, you can start making gel candles with sparkles, soap making, the benefit of ready-made kits (with a base, dyes - flavors and molds) for children's creativity enough now. Children will be able to take their hearts and angels home as memorable souvenirs.

Souvenirs for parents

You can go further - to make souvenirs for the invited parents, for example, an application from black velvet paper “Cats”. Print the drawings in advance, buy the same frames for everyone. There are many ideas for such gifts - hand-painted plates (with special paints for ceramics), glass goblets decorated with rhinestones (glass glue is needed), small mirrors with a decorated wooden frame.

12 years is not 10. Teenagers strive for independence in everything and have already learned how to entertain themselves. Whether an adult will suit them as a leader should be discussed in advance. But your ideas, preparation of props in any case will not interfere.

golden goose

Like an icebreaker, to warm up bored (in anticipation of latecomers) guests, you can offer fun game based on an old fairy tale, where everyone stuck to each other, and the ringleader was the golden goose. Children stand in a circle and each, in turn, names any part of the body (nose, heel, etc.). After the signal, you need to stick to the neighbor on the left with this particular part. The place of attachment does not play a role - the main thing is not to fall.

Siamese twins

A complicated version of the previous competition. Participants are divided into pairs and draw pre-prepared cards on which it is written what parts (elbows, backs, heels, etc.) they stick together. Then you need to tie handkerchiefs to each other. One pair performs, the rest observe the purity of the experiment. The winner is the couple who adequately coped with the most difficult task (tie handkerchiefs, sticking together with their backs, for example)

culinary competition

While everyone is hungry, you can hold a culinary competition for the most (romantic, funny, strange, greedy). Products should already be cut, skewers and dishes prepared. Like the jury, with certain sympathies for the birthday man. A beautiful design in the form of napkins originally folded by the author of the dish will complement the competition. You can assign numbers to sandwiches, then the jury will be impartial.

Defile

And finally, you invite guests to the table. This moment can also be interesting to beat. You line up the children at the opposite wall and solemnly announce: “Baba Yaga, a famous yogi, an oriental dancer, a one-legged pirate, a cannibal, a ballerina, the president of Russia, a bodybuilding champion, a supermodel, a child who today learned to walk, are invited to our birthday party.” It is not necessary to warn guests about the role in advance. Everyone, in accordance with the role received, must parade to the table in the image and take their place.

face painting

The Chinese calendar has a twelve-year cycle, and for the first time since birth, a child celebrates a birthday in its Year of the Tiger, Snake, Horse. In this regard, a competition will be appropriate holiday makeup– . A photo collage of samples and crayons for drawings on the face and body must be prepared in advance, well, and the fantasy of reincarnation in a Monkey or Dragon in children is limitless.

Snowman

Another art contest. You can play in teams. The players line up in a column one at a time (you can even sit at the table), and the last participant in the column is given a sheet with simple pattern like a snowman. He must draw it on the back of his neighbor. He tries to delve into the plot and convey his feelings on the back of the next. When what is left of the snowman is applied to the back of the first, he is handed a piece of paper, and he must portray his feelings. As a rule, from a snowman, as in a damaged phone, one bun remains.

Video clip competition

Another birthday contest for girls aged 12. To young stars I love making videos. It is very funny if suddenly someone in the frame emerges from somewhere on the side. They will find the music for their video themselves, trying to open their mouths, falling into the words of the song, but the candles, Balloons, rose petals, bubble and confetti, as well as a bunch of clothes and a hair dryer (what clip does without that now?) should be on the table with props for the competition.

Photoshoot

A birthday is not complete without a photo session. The competition for the funniest photo will be facilitated by computer special effects of the PhotoBooth program, which transform all parts of the body beyond recognition. In addition to makeup and clothes, false mustaches, sponge-bows, glasses, wigs, hats will also come in handy.

Air battle

Something we got carried away with the girlish theme, but what about birthday contests for boys of 12 years old at home, in nature or in a cafe? Without a doubt, girls will also play this game with the same passion. Everyone makes an airplane (in the origami technique, paper folding), and now a squadron. Now we are preparing “bombs”, clumping paper balls (you can put them in a basket). We choose the longest room, and the host launches the airplanes, and the players all simultaneously try to shoot them down. For the competition, you need to decide on the number of attempts and count the trophies.

sea ​​battle

A similar competition would be appropriate for pirate party in honor of the birthday. In basins of the same size, water is poured, and lit floating candles are launched - ships. Determine the distance from which you will extinguish them. If the game is outdoors, you can pour it from a spray bottle for flowers, but if it’s in the house, maybe just blow it out, like on a cake?

space fight

The "robot" on the "other planet" is controlled from the "earth center". "Robots" (or "moon rovers") are blindfolded, placing skittles or other obstacles in front of them. In the "flight center" they must control the "robot" so that it successfully overcomes all obstacles. The choice of commands for the "robot" is limited: "left", "right", "forward", "backward". With each command, you can take one step. Left - right are confused not only by children.

Swan geese

A simplified version for the youngest guests. A path leads to the hut of Baba Yaga. You have to go to her at night (blindfolded) to pick up the toy that she stole. At the end of the path in the hut (burrow, box) you need to put a toy. In a straight line blindfolded, even with tips, few people manage to get through.

Balloons

There are many balloons scattered across the floor. On a signal, all participants collect them, trying to capture as many as possible. After a set time, the number of balls is counted. The one who manages to keep the most wins.

Balls-2

Who like ball games, another boy game. Participants have their hands tied behind their backs (so that they do not interfere with the game). A balloon is tied to the leg at the ankle level on a thread 30 - 40 cm long. On a signal, everyone tries to burst the opponent's balloon with their foot, while protecting their own. If they are not filled to the limit, it is not so easy to do this. To prevent the fun from ending in injury, provide players with enough play space without sharp corners.

And what did you do there?

12 is not 10, although both children and adults play this game with passion. The signs are printed with the inscriptions: "Director's Office", "Dentist's Office", "Bath", "Pension Fund", "Cinema", "Shop", "Toilet", "Kindergarten", "Desert Island", "Construction", "Zoo", "Barbershop", "Post". The participant turns his back to the audience and one of the plates is fixed on his back. The host asks the player questions (it is impossible to give monosyllabic answers like “yes” - “no”):

  • Do you often go there? (every Monday, three times a week, rarely, but with pleasure).
  • Do you like this place? (I still do not fully understand, there are better ones).
  • Who do you go there with?
  • Which celebrity would you like to see there?
  • What three things do you always take there?
  • What do you usually do there?
  • Why did you choose this place for yourself?

When the player told how he goes to kindergarten with Dima Bilan, grabbing a toothbrush and a laptop in order to eat pizza there and practice ballet, the next participant is called with a new sign.

Guess Your Prize

Another way not to leave guests without a gift is a toy guessing contest. Small gifts are put into the bag (safe, without sharp corners) and the children, without looking, feeling the chosen object with one hand, must guess their prize. Guessing it right there and takes it.
