Home holidays are a joy for children and adults alike, moreover, they bring children and adults closer together. Any holiday can be easily diversified with contests. They will make it more interesting and exciting, because they will make your head work, because the pursuit of victory is always fun and interesting.
Instructions
Step 1
When preparing contests, try to divide them into contests for children and contests for adults. In a separate group (if you come up with it) you need to put those in which both can take part. Generally speaking, hardly any adult will be able to easily agree to a children's competition, if only he does it in earnest, and the purpose is to make the audience laugh. It is unlikely that you will read poetry from the highchair on a par with the children, and they certainly will not be able to remember anecdotes with you.
Step 2
If you need any handy material for the competition, take care of it in advance and prepare it on the sidelines. You can, of course, announce a competition like “who will find a black, opaque rag to blindfold Sasha faster”, but such fun can stretch out, and you will no longer have the time or desire to hold the originally conceived competition or game. If the competition is for children, and they may need costumes, also put them aside in a bunch, and even then, when the guys begin to prepare, let them freely rummage through the rags and feel like future fashion designers.
Step 3
Distribute the contests incrementally. There is no need to start with running around the apartment, and then bring down the competition for the best performance of the song about Marusya from Ivan Vasilyevich on the heads of those present. The competition requires a certain tone, both physical and mental, so you need to arrange all your preparations and ideas so that in the beginning there are contests to warm up, and then reach the most active ones. And, finally, if there is still strength left, get to quieter, sitting competitions. Or completely leave this idea and just have a sincere conversation.
Step 4
Do not bother if some of the guests or children suddenly have some new idea, a proposal for a competition. There is no need to interrupt the innovator with the words "Well, well, well, I still have it, look, what is the plan for today, so don't bother!" They do not work on the collective farm, and they do not need to fulfill any five-year plan, therefore, if the guests have ideas, there is no need to curb people. It will still be fun. And those contests that you have prepared, and which you will not have time to hold, will remain for other holidays, of which there will be a huge number.
Step 5
Take care of gifts for the competition participants. Nobody wants, by participating in the competition and taking the first place, to stay in the end with a nose. Make sure that the gifts are equal so that no one is offended. Also, make sure that other participants in the competition (especially for children) do not feel disadvantaged. To do this, prepare some incentive prizes, and then everyone will be happy and satisfied.
