Unusual contests for children etc. The funniest birthday contests for adults ... and not so

Who said adults don't like having fun like little children? Should a birthday be celebrated at a large table and accompanied by boring gatherings, where some pretty drunk guests will want to indulge in boring memories and the performance of the same youth songs? Stop! Get only pleasure and positive emotions from the holiday. Play and have fun as you want, because such a significant date happens only once a year. And in order to properly tune in to the upcoming festive atmosphere, prepare cool toasts, funny congratulations in advance and do not forget that you can arrange funny birthday contests. And we will definitely help you with this!

"Gentleman"

Several couples (boy-girl) are invited for this competition. The presenter in the hall sets the boundaries (this will be the river). After that, a competition called "Gentleman" is announced. The guy has to carry the girl across the river in various positions. The number of poses is thought by the presenter or the birthday man. The one who has shown the greatest intelligence wins.

"Convey your feeling"

Funny and funny birthday contests with blindfolds will always amuse everyone present from the heart. So, you need to invite 5 players to participate. Each of them should be seated on a chair. All but one must be blindfolded. The presenter must approach the hero of the occasion and whisper in his ear the names of several feelings, for example, fear, pain, love, horror, passion, etc. The birthday boy must choose one of them and pronounce it in a whisper in the player's ear with open eyes. He, in turn, must show this feeling tactilely to the second, sitting on a chair with a blindfold. The second - to the third, and so on. The very last participant must say out loud what feeling the birthday boy has thought of. These funny birthday contests are perfect for corporate events and weddings.

"Understand me"

For this competition, you should prepare a small tangerine (so that it can fit in the player's mouth) and cards with difficult to pronounce words. The participant must place the fruit in his mouth and thus read out what is written on the cards. Guests have to guess what the "unfortunate" is saying. The one who guessed more than the words won.

"The power of touch"

Like many funny birthday contests for adults, a game called The Power of Touch is played with a blindfold. So, several girls should be seated on chairs. One young man is invited to participate, who needs to be blindfolded and tied hands. Thus, the player without using his hands must determine who this girl is. You can do this in any way - rub your cheek, touch your nose, kiss, sniff, etc.

"Real Boxers"

Funny, funny, interesting birthday contests will surely please everyone, without exception, if you involve more guests in them. So, the facilitator should prepare boxing gloves. Two young people are invited to participate, preferably stronger and larger. For the look, you can use ladies of the heart.

The presenter needs to put on boxing gloves on the knights. Guests should come up and encourage each boxer, stretch his shoulders, muscles, in general, everything, as before a real fighting match. The presenter's task is to remind the main rules: "Do not hit below the belt", "Do not push," "Do not swear", "Fight until the first blood", etc. After that, the presenter distributes a piece of candy to the participants, preferably a small one, and announces a competition. The one of the “fighters” who quickly frees the sweetness from the wrapper will win. Similar contests for children and adults are suitable.

"Treasured ... bang!"

You can invite multiple people to participate in this competition. And to make funny birthday contests please more guests, divide the participants into teams. So, the presenter should prepare balloons, pushpins, scotch tape (as an option, an adhesive plaster) and threads. Each participant is given a ball, the thread of which must be tied around the waist so that the ball hangs down at the level of the buttocks. Other players need to give a piece of adhesive plaster through which the button is punctured, and stick it on each forehead (with the tip outward, of course). The presenters turn on the music. Participants who have a button on their forehead are tied with their hands to prevent them from using them. The task of the players is to burst the ball using the button. Whose team does it faster will win.

"Congratulations all together"

When the guests are pretty much running around and having fun, you can take a break. An excellent option in this case would be birthday contests at the table. No, there will be no songs and intellectual games, only entertainment and laughter. So, for this competition, the presenter must prepare a small text of congratulations, in which it is necessary to exclude all adjectives (in the text, in place of adjectives, you must leave a large indent in advance).

Here is a short example: “… guests! Today we gathered at this ..., ... and ... evening in order to congratulate our ..., ... and ... the birthday boy. "

The presenter must say that he has serious problems with inserting adjectives into the congratulatory text, and that the guests are simply obliged to help him out, otherwise the holiday is over. Participants, in turn, must pronounce any adjectives that come to their minds first, and the presenter must write them down.

If you want to make these funny birthday contests even more fun, make the task more difficult. Ask guests to pronounce adjectives related, for example, to medical, legal, erotic topics.

"Rich Cavalier"

What other games and contests are suitable? Your birthday will be just great if you use various attributes in contests. So, the presenter should prepare 30 bills in advance. To participate, you must invite 3 couples (boy-girl). Each girl is given 10 bills. The presenter turns on the music. Girls have to put money in the pockets of their boyfriend (and not only in the pockets). When all the stash is hidden, the "contented liar" must perform a dance (while her eyes must be blindfolded). When the girls dance enough, the music turns off. Now the ladies have to find all the stash.

The catch is that while the girls are given to dancing, the insidious host changes the gentlemen.

"Eastern dance"

What other birthday contests can you prepare? Funny and funny are undoubtedly associated with dancing.

So, the presenter invites all the girls present to participate. Each of them must loudly announce to the audience which part of the body suits her the most. For example, one says shoulders, the other - knees, third lips, etc. Further, the presenter turns on beautiful oriental music, and asks each one to dance in turn with that part of the body that she just named.

"Guess the color"

The host invites a certain number of people (at least all those present) and puts them in a circle. Music turns on. The presenter shouts: "Touch the blue color!" Everyone must find clothes of the corresponding color on top of each other. With each round, a latecomer or a non-finder leaves the competition.

"Where are you, darling?"

This competition will require one participant (male) and 5-6 girls. One of them must necessarily be his faithful. So, the girls need to be seated on chairs. The main player is blindfolded and asked to determine by the legs who is his favorite. For flavor, you can add two or three guys to the girls.

"Labyrinth"

One player is invited to participate. The leader needs to prepare a long rope in advance. The player is blindfolded and invited to go through the maze (by rope). Guests must tell the player which direction to follow. Naturally, the insidious host is simply obliged to remove the rope, and the guests will laugh heartily at how the participant carefully follows their instructions.

"Slow action"

The presenter should prepare in advance as many cards as there will be participants in the competition. On them you should write phrases like: "kill a fly", "drink a glass of vodka", "eat a lemon", "kiss". Each participant, without looking, takes out a card, for example, from a hat or basket. The players take turns in slow motion to depict what is written on the card. Believe me, only such birthday contests can make guests laugh and amuse them heartily. Contests and games of just such a performance can easily defuse the boring atmosphere.

Birthday contest

In order for the birthday to be a success, it is necessary to involve more of the hero of the occasion in competitions. It will be great if you arrange some interesting game from the banal presentation of gifts. To do this, the leader should prepare several small paper cards in advance, which will indicate landmarks for finding gifts.

"Greedy"

You will need inflated balloons for this competition. The presenter needs to scatter them on the floor. Participants must collect as many balls in their hands as they can. The most "greedy" wins.

"Dress me"

For this competition, you will need men's and women's clothing. It can be anything from socks to family panties. In one bag or package a man's attire is put, in another, respectively, a woman's. Two people are invited to participate (preferably a man and a woman) and 4 more assistants (two for each). The host distributes packages to the teams. It will be funnier if a man gets a bag with women's clothes, and a woman - with men's. So, the presenter gives a signal and marks the time (1 minute). Assistants should retrieve the contents of the package and dress the main participants. Whoever does it faster is the one who won.

"Take me to work!"

5 people are invited to participate in this competition. The presenter must prepare the costumes of fairy tale characters in advance. It is not necessary to rent them in the nearest salon, you can do everything yourself, believe me, it will be much funnier. So, the host announces an interview. For example, in order for participants to get to work, you should dress up as written in the dress code rules. The rules, of course, should be prepared by the host in advance and hidden in the hat. Participants, without looking, take out a card and dress as it is written there. After that, they go out into the hall and pitifully ask, for example, the birthday man (let him be the employer) to hire them. Believe me, a man with a cowboy hat, with a mop sticking between his legs (like, a cowboy), pitifully asking to take him to the position, will cause a storm of positive emotions among all the guests present.

"The most agile"

To participate in this competition, you must use 5 pairs. Women should be seated in chairs. In front of each, make a path of bottles. Men should remember their location and, with their eyes closed, without dropping a single bottle, make their way to their beloved one and kiss her. The insidious host, of course, arranges the bottles as he pleases and swaps the girls.

We hope that you will not have any more problems with funny contests. Enjoy your pastime!

During the festive preparations for the child's birthday, the parents of the birthday boy prepare an interesting competition program for the children and often forget about the invited adults. The older generation is invited to sit at the table and entertain themselves with conversation or tasting culinary masterpieces. However, it would be much better to make children's birthday a joyful and memorable event for already adult moms, dads, grandparents. How to entertain such a diverse audience? You need to carefully select contests and tasks for children and adults, as well as organize joint entertainment.

A good holiday for children and adults begins with the following moments:

Inviting guests.
Festive room decoration.
Adult entertainment program.
Games and fun for children.
Joint contests and competitions.

How to draw invitation cards

The holiday starts with an invitation. You can call banally and verbally invite guests, or you can show creative ingenuity and use the "grandmother's" method - send out beautifully designed invitation cards by mail. For adults, it will be a surprise to find a beautiful envelope with an invitation to a children's party in the mailbox along with a receipt for the rent. And it will be interesting for children to tear open the packaging and look at its contents. There are various ways to decorate children's birthday cards:

Draw an individual postcard for each invited guest (child and his parents).
Design in one of the graphic editors.
Buy ready-made invitations and sign them beautifully or compose a small quatrain.

The best way, of course, is to make an individual postcard together with the child for each invitee.

Decorating the room

If you want the festive atmosphere to be felt right from the door, take care of decorating the room. All guests - both children and parents - will find it interesting to consider the decor. Here are some room decoration options that will delight the eye and add solemnity to the moment.

Festive decoration of the room.

Wall newspaper

Make it a tradition to publish such a newspaper every year for your child's birthday. You can make it from a roll of wallpaper. Glue the funniest and most interesting photos of the child over the past year on it, and make original signatures below. This decoration will interest both children and adults. At the bottom you can leave a little space for the wishes and signatures of guests. After many years, taking out such a newspaper from the mezzanine, you will receive a lot of positive emotions and fond memories.

Home exhibition

An exhibition of crafts, drawings, figurines made of plasticine and natural material, or something else (perhaps self-assembled aircraft models, if the child's hobbies are associated with this) is placed on a shelf or in a showcase for everyone to see. If the child is older, then you can invite him to make a souvenir for each guest in advance and give it to invited friends at the end of the holiday. Crafts of guests of the birthday person should also take pride of place on the shelf.

Balls and serpentine

Every child loves balloons and bright streamers. You can simply hang them around the room or scatter them on the floor. You can also purchase a ready-made design of balloons of different colors or make one to order specifically for a children's birthday. It's important to buy quality balloons so they don't burst in the middle of the holiday.

Inside each balloon, you can put a folded leaflet with a wish for guests (adults and children), and at the end of the evening invite everyone to choose and burst a balloon and read their wish. Such an original farewell is highly appreciated by both children and adults.

Adult program

When celebrating a child's birthday, you should take care of the invited parents. So that adults do not get bored during children's competitions, they need to prepare a separate program. You can invite them to watch a video about the birthday boy. To make this at home, you need a computer, digital photos and videos from your family archive. Music from cartoons or any other to your taste is suitable as musical accompaniment. You can edit the video yourself if you are familiar with video editing, or you can entrust this matter to professionals. As practice shows, such films captivate all adults: grandmothers, grandfathers, godparents, parents of invited children, aunts and uncles.

No one should be bored on a fun holiday!

While the adults are keen on watching a movie, a basic program for children can be held. When the movie is over, invite your parents and relatives to the table and treat yourself to a treat. After 20-30 minutes, you can start holding contests and quizzes.

The tasks for children and adults can be alternated - while some are participating, others are enjoying a festive treat. Children and adults can be seated together, but it is still better to set a separate sweet table for the children. Your attention should be enough for everyone. To make it easier - choose yourself an assistant for the entertainment program. You will be richly rewarded for your efforts with children's smiles and gratitude from adults.

Board games are one way to keep your parents together.

Assignments for adults

"Praise"

According to the order of places at the table, all the guests praise the hero of the occasion and name his best qualities. After that, a hat is obtained, into which the leaves with the inscriptions of the person's personal qualities have been folded in advance, and the guests one by one draw out a “fant” for themselves.

"Remember everything"

While the guests have not yet got drunk on their birthday, it is proposed to name the most significant dates and events in the life of the birthday man:

Day of the week on which he was born.
Date of birth.
Year of birth.
Time of birth.
Birth weight.
Growth at birth.
When the first tooth appeared.
How many teeth are there now.
The first word.
Favorite dish.
Favourite drink.
Favorite game.

There are many options for questions, but grandparents will win (as practice shows). They are solemnly presented with an award "For memory" and a photograph of the birthday man.

"Name"

In turn, all participants in the feast are invited to name diminutive and affectionate names for the birthday person (Sasha, Shura, Sashka, Sashok, Shurochka, Sasha and others, for example). The winner is the one who named the most. The prize can be a small notebook, the first page of which was carefully painted on the eve of the hero of the occasion.

"Activity stream"

A rope is fixed on opposite walls, and the child's socks are attached to it with clothespins. Each sock contains a task for an adult:

Tell a rhyme on a specific topic.
Dance a lambada.
Sing a lullaby.
Sing a children's song with a fatal arrangement.
Jump on one leg from one end of the room to the other.
Crawl under the table.
Depict an animal.
Depict an object without words.

You can include easier tasks: kiss the birthday boy or get a candy.

"Puzzles"

When the birthday is coming to an end and the guests are already pretty relaxed, you can offer them to put together speed puzzles. Several simple puzzles for 6-8 pieces are taken and laid out on stools according to the number of participants. Whoever collects the fastest gets the "Fastest" order.

As a result, it should be added that the entertainment program for adults on a children's birthday should be interesting, but not too intrusive. Some people are embarrassed to enter contests or afraid to appear insecure. Be attentive to all participants in the celebration, and if the person is clearly tired, let him calmly enjoy the treat and contemplation of fun.

Children's program

You can think of a lot of scenarios for holding a children's birthday. Here are some options: “The birthday cake is gone”, “Treasure hunt”, “The wish-fulfilling fairy has disappeared” and others. Let's take a look at the missing birthday cake.

You can invite an animator or entertain the kids yourself.

We lead the children with leading questions to blowing out candles on a birthday cake. We solemnly bring in a beautiful box in which the presence of a cake is assumed, but there (oh, horror!) It is not. The box contains only a few crumbs and a mysterious note. Please read the older child's note. There is something like this: “I took your cake. Complete my assignments to get him back. Cyrus ". Kira is a doll that you put on your hand. You can take any - an animal, a girl or a boy.

A moment later, the culprit of the loss appears on the hand of one of the parents. Kira meets the kids and offers various contests for them to return the birthday cake.

After completing all the contests, the toy surrenders and returns the cake (it stands in another room with candles).

Contests

"Transfer the egg"

At one end of the room there are 2 stools with empty plates (it is better to take plastic or metal ones) and in the other there are also 2 stools with plates in which boiled eggs lie (according to the number of participants). Children are divided into 2 teams. Each is invited to transfer an egg in a spoon from one plate to another. The winning team receives a prize or medal.

"Collect the leaves"

It is necessary to scatter leaves cut out of colored paper, on the back of some you need to draw a certain sign-symbol. Children are invited to help the doll collect leaves. A child who has a leaf with a symbol-sign is awarded a sweet prize (waffle, candy, marmalade - at choice).

"Stick your nose"

You can attach not only the nose, but also the eyes, mouth, eyebrows, hair, ears and so on. A face (clown, doll, fairy-tale character) is drawn in advance on a sheet of Whatman paper, but without a nose. Each of the guys should try to glue a plasticine (dough) nose onto a drawing with a blindfold. The winner is the one who stuck the nose closer to its actual location on the face. The prize can be a medal or the "Most Accurate" order.

"Rabbits"

The doll missed her best friend - a rabbit, and asks the guys to jump like rabbits, putting on paper ears or simply putting their palms to their heads. The most active rabbit is awarded the order or medal "Bouncy".

Ball Race

Inflated balloons are placed on the floor, and children are given the task to blow the balloon to the other end of the room faster than anyone else. The invited children get on their knees and palms and, on command, begin to blow. The winner will be awarded the “Strongest Wind” award.

"Choose a gift"

A ribbon is pulled, various small gifts (key rings, pens, felt-tip pens) hang on it. Each child needs to be blindfolded, untwisted and offered to choose a souvenir as a keepsake. On a birthday, no one should be left without a gift.

"To each his own desire"

Small pieces of paper are put into a box or hat with individual tasks: to crow, sing a song, recite a verse, jump a frog, kiss a birthday boy, eat a berry. Each child who comes to a children's birthday, pulls a piece of paper and reads himself, or an adult helps to read the desire and fulfills it.

"Beads"

Two children need to compete, who will quickly string the drying (bagels) on a rope or on a long skewer. The winner is the one who finishes stringing the beads earlier.

During the performance of contests and tasks, you need to take several breaks: eat, drink, dance, so that the guys do not get tired.

After all the tasks, the birthday man blows out the candles, and the whole company goes to eat the cake.

Joint entertainment

In order for a children's birthday party with the participation of adults to go off with a bang, you need to entertain guests not only individually, but also together.

When organizing a program for children and adults, do not forget about joint entertainment.

Adults and children

"Papi Run"

A competition between dads and children is organized to the accompaniment of cheerful music. Each child sits on his dad on horseback (dad on all fours) and the whistle is given - the start of the race. The winner is the one who first planks the Pope from one end of the room to the other and back. The winners are awarded a sweet prize - a large candy, and all participants - a small sweet.

"Little Red Riding Hood"

Take 2 ropes 5 meters long. One rope is laid in a straight line and the other in a winding or spiral path. A child and one of his parents are selected from the guests. A child walks along a straight road to his grandmother, and mom or dad follows a winding one. Whoever comes faster won.

"Traces"

2 teams play. Each team has a parent and a child. You will need a pre-cut footprint of a tiger or other animal. In total, you need 4 blanks. Participants get 2 tracks. The child stands on the track with one foot, and the parent moves the second track for the next step. The winner is the one who covered the distance faster.

"Orchestra"

Interested participants (children and parents) are given various devices made from scrap materials that make sounds. It can be:

Pans.
Covers.
Banks with kopecks.
Cups of water and straws (gurgling sounds).
Drum.
Whistle.
Sushi sticks and saucepan.
Bell.

In addition to improvised noisy and ringing devices, you can use real or toy musical instruments, if available. A funny children's song for the background is turned on, a soloist (or several singers) is selected and the original arrangement of the famous hit begins.

"Fireworks"

A real fireworks will become a pleasant farewell surprise, which on the child's birthday will make a splash among children and adults and will be an excellent culmination of the holiday.

Many sweet gifts should be prepared for birthday contests. Even if the competition is for an adult, the prize can be sweetness - the parent will pass it on to the child.

A child's birthday is a bright holiday on which neither children nor their parents should be bored. Actively involve adults in competitions and relay races, and your holiday will be remembered for a long time.

You can celebrate name days in a cafe, in a children's room or at home. When there is an animator at a children's party, you don't have to think about the plans for the event.

Even an adult's birthday will not be complete without an entertainment program. Read on to find out how to design birthday contests.

For adults

You can plan an adult holiday in different ways. Host a meeting of friends outdoors in the summer, in the winter it is better to have a feast indoors.

You need to arrange a birthday and an entertainment program based on the criteria:

The age of the birthday boy.
The nature and preferences of the guests.

For an adult, alcoholic beverages may already be present on the table. Secretive people who do not accept gags and practical jokes will not understand ironic jokes.

Womens and mens preferences are different: girls like quiet gatherings, guys will make the music louder.

It's hard to get out of the situation if the group of friends is motley. We'll have to prepare the event, adjusting to each guest. The birthday boy must not forget to take care of the comfort of each person.

Check out the quick script guide:

Criterion	Description
Scenario	Make a plan for the competitions. Consider the location, the available attributes and the desire of guests to participate in the holiday
Props	Things you need for a successful celebration. Masks, crowns, costumes and a camera that will capture all the moments
Prizes	When holding contests, you will need awards. Buy candy, small souvenirs or badges
Leading	Hire a special person or become a unique birthday presenter yourself
Style	Stay on topic. Do not forget that the main person at the holiday is the birthday man. Come up with a topic, questions and contests related to a person's life and character

The simplest option for a holiday is a feast. To give guests something to talk about, conduct the event while sitting. Add flavor to a traditional meal.

Several game elements will stir up the company:

Congratulations. Let everyone present stand up, everyone will say a few pleasant words to the hero of the occasion, wish him good luck or recite a poem.
Such an introduction will melt the tense atmosphere, and the holiday will become more fun. You can cast lots in which order the participants will say the toast.
Competition "Who am I". Each guest writes to his neighbor on a piece of sticky paper a word describing a person, object or feeling.
The leaf is glued to the forehead, the participants take turns asking questions at the table to find out which word is written on the forehead.
The winner is the one who guesses first. The game continues until the last word.
Contest "Pregnancy". Big balloons are inflated, which guests hide under their T-shirts.
The task is to collect matches or other small objects from the floor so that the ball does not burst under the clothes. The winner is the one who collected the most items.

For noisy companies, you can make an event with 10-15 competitions. Inactive intellectuals prefer quieter games.

Bring a board game like "Soobrazariy", "Jenga" for the holiday so that you can eat treats and be in the process of the game at the same time.

Advice! As prizes, print out funny certificates with the title of Know-it-all, Best Pregnant, or Miss Logic.

For kids

It's easier to write a script for children. But participants of different ages may not want to participate in a common celebration. A professional animator will gather a company in the game.

Spend your child's home birthday with fun contests:

Important! Develop a holiday scenario based on the age of the birthday person and guests.

Kids under 3 years old are rarely interested in active relay races, but you can play a children's fairy tale at a two-year-old party.

Turn off cartoons for the duration of the event so that children can communicate more and play with each other. Spend an unforgettable holiday for your child!

Bankers

For this competition, take a glass jar, several bills of different denominations, coins, as well as pieces of paper, fabric, foil, any small objects. Chocolates can be taken in the form of coins to confuse the participants. The size of the can and the amount of money are at your discretion. Then we put the money and all the rest of the details in the bank so that it would be difficult to calculate the amount in the bank. We start the finished can in a circle, and each of the guests tries to count the money and writes down his amount on a piece of paper. At the end, we open the bank, count the money and determine the winner, and he becomes the one who calculated the amount as accurately as possible.

Draw the most valuable

It is advisable to hold various contests for adults on a child's birthday, including creative ones. Let your guests show artistic talent and paint the most valuable thing in his life or what he dreams of. Then everyone talks about their drawing, the story is commented on by the participants and the most successful and original drawing and story is chosen by voting.

Battle of balls

This is a fun game to play to get some exercise after sitting at the table for a long time. They spend it in a spacious room or in an open area. The essence of the game is that an inflatable ball is tied to the leg of each guest. It is necessary to tie as low as possible and it is desirable that the ball can lie on the floor. Then we turn on a funny melody, and the task of the participants is to burst other people's balls. The winner is the one whose ball lasts longer. You can also play in teams, then the participants

One team destroys the balls of the other team, and the winner is determined by the maximum number of whole balls in the team. A good mood after the game is guaranteed!

Dance on chairs

This is not the kind of dance in which you have to have time to sit on a chair when finishedxia m language, this is a simple creative competition, the task of the participants of which is to improvise to the music, trying to dance without getting up from the chair.

It is advisable to place the chairs for the participants in the middle of the hall so that the audience has the opportunity to observe all the movements of the dancers, and then evaluate them by choosing the most active and creative dancer.

Cheerful zoo

This game is also suitable for children, but adults will be equally delighted with it. How to carry it out? At the beginning we distribute cards with animals to the participants, but we do it so that they do not see which animal is indicated on their card. Then everyone shows their card to the other participants and asks leading questions. The rest of the players answer questions, but do not name the animal itself. The winner is the one who guessed his animal after the least number of questions.

The zoo can be easily replaced with a hardware store, for example. To do this, we take cards not with animals, but with household appliances. The guessing process is identical.

Guess the fairy tale

The game is played at the table. The presenter begins to tell the tale without naming the names of the main characters. You can read directly from the book, skipping the names, titles, and the guests are trying to guess what kind of fairy tale they are talking about. If at the holiday there are children who are already familiar with fairy tales, you can also involve them in solving. In this case, run a team competition - a team of children against a team of adults.

Waterhole

Prepare several identical containers of water in advance. Pour water or juice into each of the containers, give straws to the participants. The task of the contestants is to empty their container as quickly as possible. The task can be complicated by the condition that you need to drink without the help of hands. It will be even more interesting if the container is not on the table, but on a chair.

Writers

A great opportunity to try your imagination and writing skills, and have fun at the same time.

How to conduct? Prepare a list of questions in advance. It should look something like this:

Who!
Where did you go?
What for?
What did he see there?
How did he react to this?
Who came next?
What happened next?
etc.

You can take our list and supplement it with a couple of three more questions.

The process itself:

handing out pieces of paper and pens to the participants;
everyone writes at the very top of the sheet the answer to the question "Who?" It can be either a real or a fictional character;
then the piece of paper is bent so that you cannot see what has been written and the participants exchange pieces of paper among themselves;
then we write the answer to the question "Where did you go?" and we continue in the same way until the questions are over;
finished literary works are handed over to the presenter and read aloud. Believe me, the stories will be very funny and with unexpected plot twists!

Sign up for a prize

We prepare one or several sheets, at the very top of which we write: “who will tell a fairy tale or verse”, “who will sing a song” or something like that. You could also consider options such as “who will wash the dishes,” “who will help clear the table,” and so on. We close the inscription with a sheet with the word "Prize" and send this sheet in a circle around the table so that those who wish to sign up for the prize. What a surprise it will be when those who signed up see what they actually signed up for! But even without a prize, of course, do not leave them after they complete the task)

Like a birthday boy

A competition that requires participants to show their acting skills.

For this entertainment, we prepare in advance pieces of paper with inscriptions like “I can eat like a birthday boy”, “I can walk like a birthday boy”, “I can draw like a birthday boy”, “I can dance like a birthday boy”. This competition will be especially interesting on the birthday of a baby 1-3 years old.

Participants take turns taking out pieces of paper and showing their acting skills. We will award the most talented actor with a prize.

Almost football

For this game you will need a spacious room, which is conventionally divided into two halves. We divide the guests into two equal teams. In the role of a soccer ball - a balloon, and the task of the “footballers” is to throw the ball to the side of the opposing team. A certain time is allocated for the game, during which it is desirable to turn on rhythmic music.

Open the chest

Something like a mini-quest for guests. Any casket or even a box can be used as a chest. Stages of the mini-quest - any interesting riddles or questions about the birthday man himself. Alternatively, divide the participants into teams and let each of them compete for the “treasure”. It can also be conducted in the form of an individual competition - whoever gives the most correct answers will receive the key to the coveted treasure chest. Well, we fill the chest itself with pleasant little things - sweets, chocolate bars, small toys. Even if the adult guests turn out to be not a sweet tooth, then each of them surely has kids at home who will be happy with such a treasure won by a parent.

Who will melt the ice?

Refreshing entertainment. For him, it is worth preparing a few ice cubes in advance. To make it more interesting for the participants, we freeze any small figures in cubes, which will be prizes. You can freeze, for example, small sweets, only having previously wrapped them in several layers of packaging film so that they do not dissolve in water before freezing)

The task of the participants, as you probably already guessed, is to melt the ice. But how to do it is up to you. You can dissolve them in your mouth, you can blow on them (in this case, they will melt more slowly, but it will be safer for the throats of the participants). The winner is the one whose piece of ice has melted before the others.

Associations

A game that can be played right at the table in a relaxed atmosphere.

First, choose a topic for which you will select associations. Let's take Summer as an example. Each of the participants writes on a piece of paper 10 words that he associates with summer. For example: beach, sea, heat, watermelon, strawberry, etc. When everyone has coped with the task, we begin to read out the lists one by one. If someone finds the same items, they must be deleted from all lists. The winner is the one on whose list the most uncrossed words remain. The winner rightfully receives the title of a person with the most unconventional thinking)

A few more ideas can be gleaned from the video:

In conclusion, I would like to note that this is only a small part of the entertainment that can be spent on a birthday with a little birthday boy for adult guests. Any competition can be slightly modified, adjusted to the situation and the interests of the participants.
