Children's birthday is a great occasion to show ingenuity and organizational skills. You can, of course, hire professional animators, but your child will enjoy the holiday made by the parents much more.
Competitions and games for children should be chosen based on the age of the participants. And it is imperative to alternate outdoor games and board games so that children do not overwork.
Games for children 2 - 3 years old
Children of this age are not yet ready for competitive competitions, but they willingly perform various actions together.
Air balloons. An excellent game to start the party, one of the adults throws balloons from above, and the children catch and throw them up. The game will help to liberate the most shy child.
Throwing snowballs. We make snowballs out of paper, you can additionally wrap them with foil. Children throw snowballs into a bowl or a bucket of popcorn, the main thing is not to arrange a competition to see who will throw the most.
Bubble. Children willingly catch bubbles released by adults.
Drawing with finger paints. A drawing paper or a roll of wallpaper is spread on the floor, children are given old clothes and finger paints, fun is guaranteed for at least an hour.
Children from 4 to 12 years old
At this age, children are already willingly competing in agility, accuracy, ingenuity, etc.
Chamomile. A daisy is glued from paper in advance, on the petals of which various funny tasks are written. The chamomile turns with the tasks down and the children take turns tearing off the petals, after which each must do what is written.
Freeze. The presenter throws a balloon to the ceiling. While the ball is in the air, you can move, as soon as the ball has fallen - everyone should freeze. The one who moved first is eliminated from the game and the competition continues, the ball is tossed again.
Accurate shooter. Balloons are glued to the wall with duct tape. Inside each ball there is a small prize (candy, key chain). Children stand 3 meters away from the wall. Each child is given three darts to win prizes.
Crocodile. Children are divided into 2 teams. From each team, in turn, a participant is selected to whom the opposing team speaks a word in a whisper. The selected child must gesture to his team to show this word so that they can guess.
Swamp. Participants are again divided into two teams. Each is given 2 sheets of paper. Children one by one should cross the "swamp" by standing with their feet on one sheet and put another one in front of them. Go to the second sheet, and put the one left behind in front of you, etc. If the child accidentally stepped past the leaf, he returns to the beginning of the "swamp". The winner is the team, all members of which will go over to the other side earlier.
