Birthday script. Alexey's fifth birthday. How to have a fun home birthday party Children's birthday party 5 years

Birthday– the most long-awaited, brightest and most beloved holiday for a child! The best friends are invited, the festive table looks incredibly appetizing, everyone is waiting in line to present memorable gifts, boisterous laughter, real fun, favorite songs... Oh, what a pity that birthdays are only once a year! But on the other hand, this is precisely why this holiday is so long-awaited!

So, your baby Your birthday is coming up very soon, and you are at a loss. How can you arrange the best holiday for someone who means everything to you? And of course, how to please your guests and make this event the most unforgettable for everyone?
Important note. To ensure that everyone remembers your baby’s birthday as the most fun, positive and vibrant event, then competitions(and games) required! A little good competition, development of imagination, and of course, unforgettable emotions - all this is guaranteed!

The beginning of the holiday.

So, the celebrations for the birth of your baby are just beginning! We meet the guests, politely greet the children and their parents, lead everyone to the room where your miracle holiday will take place. Beautiful decorations, a festive table, you can play the funniest children's songs. Guests look around with interest, get used to the new environment, smile, and then begin to congratulate the birthday boy. Probably the most pleasant thing for a child on this holiday is to receive long-awaited gifts. What could be more pleasant, what could be better than seeing your child happy? His eyes sincerely glow with happiness, the smile never leaves his charming face - this is happiness for parents!
While this little gift-giving ceremony is going on, scatter a large number of balloons on the floor (of course, they need to be inflated beforehand). Distribute festive hats to the main hero of the occasion and guests. If the birthday boy turns 5 years old, then on your command the children should clap their hands 5 times, and then immediately reach for the balloons, throw them up shouting “Salute!” Again they reach for a new ball, again shout out “Salute!” This action will last about a few minutes :) Well, in the meantime, you instruct one of your parents to film all this magnificent action on a video camera (phone, camera) for your family video archive :) While this little holiday chaos is happening, you can set the table. Invite guests to the table. Well, now it's time for the first competition!

First test “The most delicious competition».

Invite your little one to participate first. Blindfold your baby and put a berry or a small piece of some fruit in his mouth. Of course, the choice should be rich: apples, pears, kiwis, bananas, strawberries, blackberries, cherries, grapes, etc. The hero of the occasion must guess what kind of delicious fruit or berry he just ate with pleasure. We are also holding this competition with all interested participants. Pampering is allowed - you can put various gelatin candies, a small piece of cake or chocolate in the children's mouths. By the way, be sure to find out the preferences of the guests in advance. Well, those who correctly guessed the “lots” receive those same fruits or berries as a gift :)

Second test "Treasure Hunt".

Sounds intriguing, right? To play this wonderful game, you need to prepare the props. So first of all, draw "Treasure Map". To do this, you need to take a sheet of Whatman paper, paints and draw (or copy) a treasure map. If you are an unimportant artist, it doesn’t matter! You can always ask one of your friends or older children for help. A masterpiece of fine art is of no use here. The main thing is that everything is from the heart. Believe me, children feel it;) The map must have symbols and markers. “Start” of the adventure, “Finish” (in fact, this is where the “treasure” is hidden) and intermediate tasks. I will explain in more detail the whole essence of this game. To begin, distribute to all children the food purchased in advance from the holiday store. These are pirate hats, the legendary black flag with a white skull, blindfolds, stylish pirate bandanas, vintage compasses, etc. Children begin to “reincarnate” into sea wolves with interest and look intently at the ancient compasses in their hands.

Another moment - and they are ready to go in search of treasures! By the way, as the team captain, you should also wear a hat, as well as a blindfold (at a minimum). Of course, it will be really cool if you come out to the kids dressed as a pirate! :) It's up to you to decide. So, you inform your faithful “team” that there is a treasure hidden somewhere nearby and you need to carefully study the map. Children curiously examine your “Treasure Map”. So, our adventure begins! Children complete intermediate tasks as they make their way to the Finish Line. Tasks can be very different! For example, jump for 30 seconds on one leg or recite any poem; guess a cartoon character faster than others; portray your favorite fairy tale hero and much more (use your imagination). By the way, you can agree in advance with parents who will “wait for” the children at different stages of this game and give tasks. After successfully passing all the tests (at this time you need to move around the apartment), the children reach the “Finish” and finally find the treasure! You need to buy several toys (or candies) in advance. Accordingly, it would not hurt to ask the parents in advance what exactly their child wants. The toys should be small (something like symbolic souvenirs), you can buy a small pirate chest (stores sell those made of cardboard). The treasure was found, the children were very happy. They laugh, show off their “trophies” and eagerly await the continuation of the holiday. The pirate theme is statistically more close to boys, BUT girls also love to look for something, complete fun tasks, and, of course, receive prizes! By the way, all pirate paraphernalia, as well as costumes of brave corsairs, can be bought in our store at an affordable price!

Third test "Guess the beast".

And now a calmer, but no less fun test :) It’s called “Guess the Beast”. We blindfold the baby again and give him a soft toy. For example, a stuffed giraffe. The baby must determine by touch what kind of animal it is :) You can involve your parents in the game. Let them show their kids that this game can be really fun. To do this, you can “guess” the animal for a long time, make ridiculous assumptions, and finally “call” the same giraffe a bear. The children will be delighted! Prizes for everyone, no doubt!

"I want to be..."

Fourth competition “I am an artist, that’s how I see it!”

A fun competition for kids who love to draw. Hand out a small sheet of paper and markers (or pencils), blindfold all participants except the hero of the occasion, and ask them to draw a picture of the birthday boy. The kids try to draw the main character of the festive evening, puffing and laughing merrily. The one whose portrait turns out to be more believable wins.

Fifth competition “Movements are life!”

Children cannot sit still for a long time, so you can organize an incendiary competition called “Dancers”. Bring a wide variety of equipment, for example, balls, chairs, mops, soft toys, etc. We play different tunes in turns and ask the children to dance to the music in different ways. For example, a dance with an apple clutched between your foreheads or a dance riding on a broom :), maybe a dance with chairs or a mop, or maybe it will be the most touching dance with your favorite soft toy. Whoever danced the most original and funniest will win a prize (this could be a small toy). The rest of the participants also need to be encouraged, for example, with their favorite sweets.

“Unfortunately, birthdays only come once a year...”

Your holiday is already coming to an end, the guests are already getting ready to leave. Invite them to draw what they remember most about the holiday today. You can even draw little girls and boys, as well as a “cloud” of their thoughts, on a large piece of whatman paper in advance. The kids will fill these “clouds” with drawings. Imagine, in 10-20 or more years, your adult son or daughter will see this sheet of Whatman paper with memorable drawings and will definitely smile, remembering his childhood. The most carefree and golden time in our lives is childhood. That’s why we really want our children to remember their childhood with a slight smile on their lips and to have only bright memories in their hearts :)

The guests have already left, and your baby is happy about the holiday you gave him. It’s time to look at the gifts again and again, but you only have to do a “little” cleaning;) You will sigh, and then smile kindly. But it was worth it, right? ;)
P.S. I hope this article was useful to you, and your holiday will be unforgettable :) I would like to note that in addition to pirate paraphernalia, we have many other accessories for the brightest event! We are always glad to see you in our store!

The child's birthday is approaching. It's time to start thinking about how to hold it, what guests to invite, and most importantly, draw up a plan for the festive event with an interesting and exciting program for children and adults. Upon reaching 5 years of age, the child knows his tastes and preferences well. He independently orders gifts for parents and invited guests in advance. Therefore, when organizing a celebration, be sure to ask the child’s opinion, what kind of holiday he wants, how many friends he wants to invite. The more questions you ask your baby, the easier it will be to think through the upcoming little anniversary. What competitions and games should be prepared for the baby’s 5th anniversary?

Competition No. 1 “Portrait of the birthday boy”

For the competition, the host invites everyone to take part in the guest game. Each participant is given a blank sheet of paper and colored markers. Using these items, players must use all their creativity and imagination and draw the main character of the celebration. 5 minutes are allotted for the portrait, after which the presenter shows the resulting drawings to the rest of the guests. The participant whose portrait is more similar to the birthday boy wins. As a reward, the winner is given paints and a sketchbook.

Competition No. 2 “Repeat after me”

To play this game, children are seated in a circle. The presenter explains the rules of the competition, which are that one participant stands up and shows some kind of movement. In turn, each player stands behind him, repeats after the previous participant and adds his own element. Each time there are more and more movements. Some of the children cannot cope and make mistakes in their movements. In this case, he leaves the game. The winner is the participant who repeated all the movements correctly and made no mistakes. The leader is given a chocolate prize as a reward.

Competition No. 3 “Fun Zoo”

To participate in the competition, the presenter calls one of the players and blindfolds him. The rest of the competition participants quietly point to the presenter at the toy, which the player must guess with his eyes closed. It is best to choose toy options that are familiar to everyone. For example, Barbie doll, lion, bear, tumbler and other examples. The main participant is faced with the task of guessing what kind of toy is in his hands. Children will be happy to participate in this competition. Those players who correctly identified and named the toy are given a symbolic gift.

Competition No. 4 “Funny chair”

To conduct the competition, the presenter prepares chairs in advance and builds a circle. At the toastmaster's command, music begins to play, and the children run or spin around the chairs. At the moment when the musical accompaniment stops, participants must quickly sit down on the chairs. One player will not get a seat, since initially there will be 1 fewer chairs. The participant who did not have time to sit down on the chair leaves the competition. And so the game continues until there is only one chair and 2 players left. The fastest and most dexterous one becomes the winner in this competition and receives a cup or a gold chocolate medal.

Competition No. 5 “Funny Potatoes”

2 participants are invited to participate in the competition. The presenter first scatters medium-sized potatoes on the floor. At the finish line there are two buckets or two basins in which the children will collect the harvest. The host announces the start, the music turns on, and the participants begin collecting potatoes. The winner is the player who collected the most potatoes within a certain time while the melody is playing. The leader is given a sweet potato cake as a gift.

Competition No. 6 “What has changed?”

All children who wish to play are invited to participate in the competition. The presenter selects one participant and gives the children the opportunity to remember what he looks like and what he is wearing. Children closely study the main player. Then the toastmaster of the holiday takes the main participant to another room and complements his image with other things. For example, you can hang a small handbag over your shoulder or attach a brooch, change your hair slightly and give you completely different shoes. You can come up with a lot of different options. After the image is completed, the presenter, together with the main character, goes out to the rest of the competition participants. The children's task is to determine what changes have occurred in the player's image. The participant who correctly names the answer becomes the winner and is awarded a sweet prize. The competition can be repeated several times. The game is logical and mental in nature.

Competition No. 7 “Funny Bubbles”

The toastmaster of the children's celebration distributes one set of soap bubbles to all participants in the competition. Children, at the command of the leader, must jointly create as many soap bubbles of different sizes as possible. There are no winners in this game. All participants receive symbolic sweet gifts.

Competition No. 8 “Exactly on target”

To participate in the competition you will need to create 2 teams of players. Each of them becomes one after the other. The presenter explains the rules of the game. It is necessary to take one piece from a bucket of nuts that stands next to the participants and try to get into another bucket located 5 steps from the players. The team that lands the nut in the bucket the most times wins. To do this, the presenter, at the end of the competition, takes the buckets of both teams and counts the nuts that got there. The winners are awarded chocolates or candies.

Competition No. 9 “Candy soup”

To conduct this competition you will need 2 saucepans, 2 ladles and approximately 500 grams of sweets. To participate in the game, 2 teams are formed. The participants' task is to use a ladle to bring the candy to the pan and pass the turn to the next player on the team. The pans should be placed 4 meters from the place where the candies are stacked. The result is “candy soup.” As soon as the team leader completes the competition, the children stop playing. The number of candies in each pan is counted. The winner is the team whose soup turned out “sweeter.” All children receive incentive sweet prizes.

Competition No. 10 “Merry disco”

The presenter distributes a regular sheet of newspaper to the competition participants. The start is announced, the music is turned on, and the children begin to dance on the given sheet. The music changes and the competition becomes more difficult. The presenter folds the newspaper halfway, thereby reducing the space for dancing. The music starts again. Children are dancing. And again the melody changes and the size of the newspaper decreases. The competition continues until the participants step outside the paper while dancing. The winner is awarded a music disc.

Competition No. 11 “Oh, this hat”

For the competition, the presenter prepares a hat in advance, preferably in a bright color. To the accompaniment of music, participants must try on the headdress and pass it on to the next player. This action continues as long as the melody plays. As soon as the music stops playing, the player who did not have time to put on his hat is eliminated from the competition. The winner is the one who beats all participating players. A comic paper cap is awarded as a prize. This game is for entertainment purposes.

(Children are invited to the holiday together with their parents, the age of children is 5 - 6 years old)

Preparing the holiday

1. Buy balloons to decorate the room and for the children to play with.

2. Prepare various souvenirs for the winners of games and competitions (keychains, chewing gum, pencils, etc.).

3. Make medals for the winners.

4. A large postcard, clean, can be made from whatman paper.

5. Markers or pencils.

6. A ball or balloon “for getting to know each other.”

7. Recordings of the songs “Dance of the Little Ducklings” and “Let Pedestrians Run Clumsily Through the Puddles...”. You need a cassette with disco music; by the way, children love to dance to adult hits rather than to children's songs.

8. And also a video camera, with which one of the dads would film the entire holiday (will remain as a souvenir).

Celebration

1. While the guests are getting ready, the guys are watching cartoons.

2. The birthday boy and his parents are interviewed.

For a child: how old is he, what gift does he dream of, what does he want to become?

For mom: what day was it when her son (daughter) was born? Wishes for the child.

For dad: how does he see his son (daughter) when he/she grows up? Wishes.

Guests: wishes.

3. Let's get acquainted!

Presenter. Well, dear guests, does everyone know the birthday boy? This is good. Do you know all the guests who came to the holiday? No, not everyone! Well, then we need to get acquainted. Right? To get to know each other, we will throw a ball and ask questions. Whoever the ball is thrown to is the one who answers. Agreed? (Don't forget about your parents.)

- What is your name? What is the name of your favorite cartoon?

- What is your name? What's your favorite fairy tale?

- What is your name? When you grow up, what will you become?

- What is your name? What's your favorite color?

- What is your name? What do you like to eat for breakfast? etc.

4. "Loaf".(Both children and parents perform together). Congratulations to the birthday boy: Happy birthday! Happy Birthday!

Presenter. Well done! Shout out loud: how else can you congratulate the birthday boy?.. Okay, okay, all ideas are good!

5. Invite everyone to the table.

The table is sweet. The birthday boy makes a wish and blows out the candles on the cake. To the song of the guests “Happy Birthday to You...”

For adults, “a la buffet table”.

On the nightstand there are a stack of plates and a bottle of wine with glasses, several trays with various sandwiches. (While guests are eating, don't forget to turn on some fun music.)

6. Competition.

Presenter. Here is a team of boys, and here is a team of adults. Whichever team wins will receive prizes and medals. I'll give the teams a minute to come up with a name and choose a captain.

Task one- “Draw a picture.”

Divide a piece of whatman paper in half. Each team takes turns drawing a picture blindfolded, i.e. one draws a house, then the next one is blindfolded and he draws the sun, etc. Whose team draws the most correctly wins a point.

Task two- "Dance of little ducks". Whose team dances better wins a point.

Task three- “Monkey” competition

Children are divided into two teams. The players of the first team confer and think of a word for one of the players of the second team. His task is to show this word to his team members only with gestures, without using any sounds or words. When the word is guessed, the teams change places. Depending on the age of the participants, the complexity of the hidden words may vary. Starting with simple words and concepts, such as “car”, “house”, and ending with complex concepts, names of films, cartoons, books.

Task four- “The king walked through the forest...”

Children join hands and form a circle. In the center of the circle is the “king” (boy, dad, grandfather), in his hands he holds the “crown”.

All(lead a round dance and sing):

The king walked through the forest, through the forest, through the forest,

Found myself a princess, princess, princess.

(“The king” chooses a “princess” and puts a “crown” on her head.)

Let's jump, jump, jump,

(Everyone jumps.)

We kick our legs, we kick, we kick,

(They kick their legs.)

Let's clap our hands, clap our hands, clap our hands,

(Clap hands.)

Let's stomp our feet, stomp our feet, stomp our feet,

(They stomp their feet.)

Let's shake our heads,

(They shake their heads.)

Let's start first!

(The girl returns to her place.)

The king walked through the forest...

(“The King” chooses a new “princess.”)

7. Cut off the balls decorating the room and give them to the children - let them play.

8. Presentation of prizes.

9. Everyone dances.

10. Towards the end of the holiday, in order for the children to calm down, they are invited to design a birthday card. To do this, on a large postcard prepared in advance, children together with their parents outline their hands and write wishes to the hero of the occasion. Then everyone watches the film that was filmed.

Whether the holiday will be successful or not depends not only on your efforts, but also on the mood of the guests that your child will invite to his party. What's worth knowing? The principle: “The more, the better!” does not work. Psychologists advise determining the number of guests this way: how old is the child, the number of guests we invite! If possible, invite peers. If the invited children have an age difference of 3-4 years, then they will not be interested together: their games, tastes and desires are too different.

Children's holiday menu

A break in entertainment in the form of a treat at the festive table is a necessary element of a children's celebration. At the table, children will be able not only to reinforce their strength, but also to calm down a little. It is important that the food is not only satisfying, but also light and well digestible. The optimal set: fruits, beautifully decorated sandwiches, light salads, cookies, juices or compotes. It is better to exclude soda, flour sweets, and pizza with a complex set of ingredients. Heavy food and active movements are not compatible! The final chord is the obligatory cake with candles (preferably also light).

Gifts for everyone

Children will be happy to take home small memorable gifts (keychains, scarves, notepads, etc.) from the holiday. Souvenirs will relieve children's feelings of envy towards the birthday boy (“He has so many gifts!”) and will ease their emotional state.

Suits

A costume party is a great idea for a children's party. Any preschooler will happily transform into a fairy-tale character, because play is his natural state! In addition, costumes will give you ideas for competitions and entertainment, and will help tie everything together with a single idea and mood. You don't have to look for a full suit for every guest. A few iconic attributes are enough. For example, if you are having a “pirate party”, then you can get by with a bright bandana on your head, a scarf around your neck and a pistol in your belt. If you are having a “princess ball”, all you need are small crowns and beautiful paper collars around your neck. By the same principle, children can easily be turned into fairies, wizards, cavemen, Indians, detectives, etc.

Quest

For children over 10 years old, a win-win holiday idea is a quest. That is, searching for some treasure or solving a mystery with the help of clues. You can find ready-made developments online and organize the quest yourself. You can order an away quest from an agency specializing in holidays. You can also go with the whole company to specially organized places, where everything is already prepared for such an event. The main thing to consider is the age of the birthday boy and his guests.

A child's fifth birthday can be called his first little anniversary. In addition, five-year-old children are no longer those passive contemplators who could only observe the festive bustle, but not take active part in it. Although they cannot yet be compared with nimble and fast schoolchildren, who clearly and clearly demonstrate their skills in participating in collective competitions and games.
When organizing a 5-year anniversary, it is necessary to take into account all these factors and the age characteristics of the “celebrator”. This is especially true for the entertainment program. The complexity of the competitions must be manageable, everyone must be a winner, otherwise you will not end up with bitter tears and disappointments. In addition, entertainment should be alternated with a festive table and snacks.
5 years is the very period when a child begins to realize that his birthday is his personal and very significant holiday. He is already able to identify among all the people he knows those whom he would be glad to see at his celebration. Therefore, you should already ask the birthday person who he would like to invite to his birthday, because, after all, this is his holiday.

Where to celebrate your child's fifth birthday?

Of course, the easiest way to do this is at home, but you can also move the holiday to nature, to a children's cafe or entertainment center. At this age, it is already advisable to involve professional entertainers who know how to organize and conduct a children's party. Magicians, clowns, animators, soap bubble shows - all this can create a relaxed festive atmosphere. The choice of location for the holiday depends on the preferences of the parents and the birthday boy himself, as well as the financial capabilities of the family.
Naturally, there are many benefits to celebrating a child's birthday at an amusement park or water park. It’s no secret that children adore all such entertainment, and here you won’t have to rack your brains to come up with games and competitions to entertain the children’s audience. In the amusement park, kids can have great fun riding on carousels and rides that are allowed at their age, and in the water park they can frolic in the children's splash pool. When all the children have had enough fun, you can take them home for tea or simplify the task - walk to the nearest cafe, where the kids will enjoy ice cream and pizza.
Well, if you still immediately choose the option of holding a celebration at home, then what is the best way to arrange it? First of all, parents should draw up a plan for holiday events:

• determining the number of invited guests;
• feast menu;
• entertainment program for children.

In addition to these most important points, there will be many more nuances that can be taken into account superficially, since circumstances can always happen in life that force you to change the program of the celebration. It is impossible to foresee everything in advance.

In Rostov there is a search team “Lisa Alert”, whose volunteers organize open parent meetings where they talk about the rules...

How to organize a child's 5th birthday?

If it is decided to celebrate the birthday of a 5-year-old child in an entertainment center, children's cafe or playroom, then parents will be able to get rid of some responsibilities by transferring them to the shoulders of the employees of these establishments, but the latter will have to pay. Parents in this scenario will need to:

• pre-book a room;
• convey all your wishes to the animators;
• During the celebration, monitor children.

It is advisable that the parents of the birthday boy be helped by one of the parents of the invited children. We should not forget that any rental establishment that organizes children's parties has its own internal rules regarding restrictions on the number of guests, so you should clarify them in advance. You should also clarify questions regarding the menu: is it possible to bring some of your products there, because often the owner of the establishment allows you to use only what is in their range.
Everything will be different if you decide to organize a birthday at home. Here, the parents’ imagination cannot be limited by anything (except finances), including the experience of organizing the child’s few past birthdays, because at this age they should look completely different every year, since the baby becomes unrecognizably different every year, an increasingly complex person. When celebrating at home, the easiest way is to take into account the individual needs and wishes of the hero of the occasion. But independently preparing for a birthday party requires a lot of physical and emotional effort from parents. However, for parents who love their child, all these costs are more than covered by the expected joy that will be delivered to him. Here's what you should take care of first:

• choosing a gift for a child;
• compiling a list of invited guests;
• creating a table menu;
• room decoration;
• thinking through the scenario: riddles, games, competitions.

Scenario for celebrating a child's 5th birthday

1. It is necessary to start the holiday by congratulating the hero of the occasion. Parents and other relatives can do this traditionally, but to surprise the child, you can do it more original: for example, have the congratulations done in the voices of your favorite cartoon characters. To do this, you need to rehearse your speech in advance.
2. When the birthday boy is congratulated by his parents and other relatives, it is the turn of the invited guests. At this time, you can arrange a game “Who knows the birthday boy best”: those congratulating you can be asked about the preferences and desires of the hero of the occasion, about the most important events of his still short biography, and the child himself must confirm the correctness of the answers.
3. Then you can start giving gifts.. You can agree with the guests to collect all the gifts and hide them in different parts of the house. In this case, each gift must be signed so that it does not turn out to be from someone unknown. The birthday boy will be helped in his search for gifts by the tips of his friends.
4. When all the gifts have been presented or found, it is worth refreshing yourself and then moving on to the entertainment program. The children need to be seated at the table, and the birthday boy should be seated on a fake throne prepared in advance.
5. Children can be offered sandwiches and light snacks. You should not put heavy and fatty food on the table, because, having eaten it, children will become sedentary and lazy, losing interest in further entertainment.

What to give a five year old child for his birthday?

At five years old, children are critical of the world around them, so adults may encounter certain difficulties when choosing a gift for them. However, these difficulties cannot be called insurmountable. Five years is the age of experimentation and testing, because children during this period are very inquisitive. Knowing this, you should not give them such gifts, studying the structure of which they could harm themselves in some way. It’s better to dwell on what the birthday boy has been dreaming about lately. Of course, your gift must be kept secret until the last moment.
Many children by the age of five are already overly spoiled with a variety of toys, so the twenty-fifth teddy bear or talking doll will only cause such children to grimace with disappointment. In this case, you can visit the department in the store with board games suitable for the age of the birthday person. Or, for example, if a tricycle given for a previous birthday has long been mastered and bored, then it’s time to think about replacing it with an older two-wheeled brother. Both boys and girls at the age of five are still interested in construction sets and puzzles. Boys continue to enthusiastically play with airplanes and cars, but now they can be offered radio-controlled models. Girls continue to take care of dolls, but now they are no longer primitive baby dolls, but more advanced walking and talking models.

Almost all modern families, having gathered together in the evening, either sit with their eyes buried in computers, tablets or smartphones, or are busy with housework. But...

Birthday contests

Having had a little refreshment, the kids quickly restore their vibrant energy. It's time to move on to competitions in which prizes will be awarded.

"Ball Attack"

Two teams of children are separated by two adults holding a blanket containing balloons. On command, adults shake the blanket, causing the balls to fly in different directions. The kids must throw balls from their territory to the territory of their opponents. The team that manages to leave the fewest balls near itself by the end of the game becomes the winner.

"Funny Slippers"

Scatter a lot of slippers in disarray on the floor (if there are a shortage of them, you can cut out their likeness from paper). The music plays, and when it stops, the children must race to put on any pair. But since an odd number of slippers is deliberately taken, someone gets only one slipper, and he is eliminated from the game. Then one pair of slippers is removed and the game continues in the same vein.

"Brave Gold Diggers"

You need to show the children a “golden” object, for example, a gilded box or spoon, and hide it somewhere in the home. They need to be divided into two teams, each given a treasure map, according to which they must find a treasure with “gold”. The team that finds the “treasure” first will win.

Birthday tricks

"Colored Water"

You need to prepare three small bottles with screw-on lids and, in front of the children, pour plain water into them one by one. Then explain that after casting a magic spell, the water in the first jar will turn red, in the second - green, and in the third - blue. Muttering a spell, each jar needs to be shaken a little, after which the water in them acquires the promised color. The secret of the trick is that you must first apply watercolor paint of the appropriate color to the lids of each jar on the inside.

"Tame Snake"

Children need to be told that a paper snake can be brought to life without touching it using a regular plastic ruler. Next, you need to rub the ruler, unnoticed by children, on a piece of woolen fabric, thus imparting a charge of static electricity to it. Then the ruler should be brought either to the head or to the tail of the snake made of thin paper. Children will be greatly amazed when the “snake” begins to stretch its head and tail towards the ruler.

"Wonderful Spoon"

To perform this trick, the fakir will need an assistant. The magician explains to the children that his assistant will now take a photograph of one of them using an ordinary spoon, and then the magician, who is not present during the shooting, will look at the spoon and see whose image remains on it. After this, the magician leaves the room for a while, and his assistant “photographs” someone with a spoon. The returning magician carefully examines the spoon and accurately points to the child “removed” by it. In fact, he is guided by the toe of the assistant’s right foot, which points to the object of “shooting”.

Birthday Games

"Do as I do"

Place the children on the floor in a circle. The first player makes some movement, the second must repeat it and add his own movement, the next one must also add something, and so on throughout the circle. The participant who gets lost and forgets to make one or more movements is eliminated from the game.

Children in Russia disappear every 10 minutes - this statistic is extremely depressing and alarming. If you believe the data of Pavel Astakhov, the commissioner of...

"Strongmen"

Announce to the children that they will be participating in a strongman competition and ask them to show off their biceps. And then explain the essence of the competition: you need to hold a felt-tip pen between your lip and nose for as long as possible. At this moment, adults will try in every possible way to make the competitors laugh, and they must keep a serious face and a felt-tip pen on their lips.

"Guess the Animal"

Blindfold the first player, then place a soft toy representing some animal in his hands. The baby must determine by touch what kind of animal he got. It is useless for the birthday boy to play guessing his own toys, since he knows them too well. If he also wants to take part in the game, then instead of soft toys it is better to offer him other objects.

"Don't crush the egg"

This game is disposable, because after the first time it loses all meaning. The participant in the game will have to go through the entire room without crushing raw eggs, which are randomly laid out along his route. Moreover, the eggs are laid out in front of the player, and he tries to remember their approximate location, so as not to step on them later. Then he is blindfolded, and immediately all the eggs are quietly collected from the floor. The player tries to maneuver between imaginary eggs, and the other children try to warn him against making the wrong move. Eventually, having reached the end of the route, the player takes off the blindfold and is surprised to discover that there were no eggs!

"What is your name?"

Throwing a ball to all participants in a circle, the presenter asks everyone one thing: “What is your name?”, But they cannot say their name, but only a nickname that matches their appearance or character. For example, a polite boy will call himself a knight, and a blonde girl will call himself Goldilocks. The one who gives his name by mistake is eliminated, and the prize goes to the most attentive person.

End of the holiday

When the children have had enough fun, jumped up and played enough, they need to be brought back to the table. Now there will be no longer a light snack, but a full dinner, topped with a cake with five candles, which the birthday person will have to blow out. At this moment, you need to turn off the lights, and everyone present should pick up the congratulatory song. Under it, a cake with candles is solemnly brought into the room. Then parents can gently tug the child’s ears five times, but do not extend this practice to all guests present.
When the festive dinner is over, the children can watch cartoons or a movie - the hero of the occasion’s favorite. You can throw cushions from the sofa on the floor, turn off the overhead lights and treat the children to juice while they watch their holiday movie show. This is an original way to complete the celebration of your child’s 5th birthday.
