If you celebrated a child’s birthday every year, then, of course, the further you go, the more difficult it becomes to choose interesting topic holiday. Moreover, at the age of 12 you were already looking for a “serious” program, but the children are growing up, and you began to think about how to celebrate the birthday of a teenager, girl or boy from 12 to 14 years old. Perhaps some of the following will help your choice: psychological characteristics this age.
Adolescence begins at age 11 and is limited to 3-4 years (possibly earlier in girls). Many psychologists even note such a moment as the crisis of 12-13 years. The child changes a lot physically, logical thinking and deduction already prevails over visual, simpler knowledge of the world. Intelligence moves to a qualitatively higher level of development. A craving for self-knowledge and self-development develops.
At the same time, traits characteristic of teenagers appear, seemingly coming out of nowhere - nihilism, denial of everything, excitability. Most often, these unexpected and negative behavioral traits are the result of misunderstandings in the family and society. The child considers himself an adult, capable of making responsible decisions. And he comes into conflict with adults who can really appreciate the immaturity and “weakness” of some conclusions and actions.
In such situations, one can only wish that adults can competently suggest a solution to the issue and give the teenager the opportunity to assess the consequences of his actions. Children communicate more and more with their peers, their interests change due to their developed ability of abstract thinking. In some families at this time, conflicts begin due to the inability of adults to rebuild relationships with a rapidly developing personality.
A teenager who was previously capable of mutual understanding with his parents cannot now accept their value system, and conflicts can only be overcome if adults show genuine interest in the lives and problems of their children. And this is impossible without true love and respect for the child’s personality, sincere participation and willingness to help in solving many problems that require immediate and unambiguous resolution...

When choosing programs for the birthday of a 12 or 13 year old, you will most likely be guided by the interests of your child. Here you can already take into account your own taste, because children are already big. At this age, they probably value communication with peers above all else, so they will organize a birthday party not so much for themselves as for their friends, and their opinion about the holiday will be given very great importance.
Therefore, we still recommend that you choose a program together with the hero of the occasion. If you don’t want to, then you probably know exactly what he wants - give it as a holiday surprise. Then your gift will be welcome and will evoke positive emotions.

Birthday in disco style with an additional battle in the Brain Ring or Mafia with your parents! How do you like our offer?
This may be a surprise for children, so you must first select questions of different levels. If children are not afraid of competition, we will leave only questions worthy of the television version of the Brain Ring game on Channel 1!
Really a program worthy of adult children who have already seen a lot of holidays and successfully survived them! Which will interest them and make them worry and come together as a team. Do you want to shake up the birthday party's guests a little? Order interesting day birthdays in our holiday studio!!
Where can you celebrate your 13th birthday?
If you decide to organize and hold a birthday party for a teenager, we see several places and, accordingly, celebration options:
- In specialized entertainment centers in Moscow and outside the Moscow Ring Road (karting, quasar, laser tag, wind tunnel, water park)
- Outdoors in forest parks, sports grounds, on the beach on the water, on a boat
- In an apartment, house, cottage, in cafes, restaurants, anti-cafes, lofts
- Attention! We invite you to consider the option of holding a teenager’s birthday in a new format. This became possible thanks to the emergence anti-cafe And lofts. The only disadvantage (or advantage?) of such premises is the lack of their own kitchen, however, it is possible to order on-site catering (or you can take your treats with you).
- At the same time, the undoubted advantages for older children are the surroundings in the spirit of minimalism and the informal atmosphere. And for parents - the opportunity to choose according to location, style, size of the room for conducting the program you like with animators whom you chose yourself.
A teenager's birthday always requires an individual approach, and there can be no template solutions here. Even musical preferences at this age are pushed as far away from pop music as possible, and sometimes lead into such wilds that you are amazed! Before music programs or a disco, ask teenagers what kind of music they prefer.
If the birthday boy has invited a lot of friends, then so that they don’t sit around the monitor or TV, order them a host who can organize the opportunity for teenagers to communicate live with each other in an active, ingenuity-requiring, team game. It all depends on the interests of the hero of the occasion and the location of the birthday.
Please note that we have great experience organizing holidays for teenagers, our hosts specialize specifically in this age group. These are not quite adults, but they are no longer children, and not everyone is given this - to host a birthday party for a company of this level. But we guarantee that our programs for girls and boys aged 13 and 14 will fit perfectly into any format of your holiday at any venue.
In which we did without competitions. But... There were so many requests in the comments for help in organizing the holiday that I searched the Internet three times in search of games and entertainment that were not very childish and did not require the presence of an adult presenter.
The task, I tell you, is very difficult. There are funny competitions, but they are too early to hold in adolescence, and they can only amuse drunken guests. This doesn't suit us...
Where to begin
The “Holiday Again” website contains many ready-made free scripts. These are not only selections of competitions, but also full-fledged home quests and creative programs (cooking, photo parties, etc.)
Dancing with obstacles
First stage. We stretch one rope at a height of 1 meter, and the other at a height of 50 cm from the floor. You can move them a little, not one above the other. As a rule, there is no place to tie in the apartment; you have to hold the ends of the upper and lower ropes in your right and left hands.
Now we turn on dance music (preferably fast Latin) and ask you to step over the bottom rope and crawl under the top rope. If there are few guests, several dance circles.
Second phase. We blindfold two participants tightly and ask them to overcome obstacles. We are quietly removing the ropes... all that remains is to observe the efforts of the careful dancers.
Frozen Artist
Presenter: “We need two people who can draw well.” He gives them a felt-tip pen: “Only today you won’t need this, I’ll put a spell on you. Imagine that there is an invisible sheet of paper in front of you, prepare a felt-tip pen and... freeze!”
We call the other two participants, to whom we give a landscape sheet (it is better to attach it to a solid base). The idea is for artists with felt-tip pens to stand motionless, and their assistants move the sheet along the tip of the felt-tip pen, trying to capture a drawing that everyone can understand. It could be a portrait of the birthday person, a birthday cake with candles, or just a house with a tree and the sun. Everything turns out funny, try it!
Siamese twins
You need to write some part of the body on the cards, call all the guests and line them up in pairs. Each pair draws a card and sticks with the body part they were given, like Siamese twins. Toes, heels, backs of heads, elbows, knees, backs. Now you need to tie a scarf to each other. Let one pair perform, the rest just watch. The winner is the one who had the most a difficult situation. Try putting a scarf on your “twin” if your backs are stuck together...
What did you do there?
The game is equally fun among both children and adults, since it’s hard to think of anything more fun than random coincidences of questions and answers.
We write on the signs:“Dentist’s office”, “Director’s office”, “Toilet”, “Bathhouse”, “Bakery”, “Cinema”, “Post Office”, “Park”, “Zoo”, “Theater”, “Barbershop”, “Basement” , “Construction”, “Kindergarten”, “ Pension Fund", "Desert Island", "Fitness Club".
The player stands with his back to the guests, and the host places a sign with one of these inscriptions on his back. The guests know what they are talking about, but the “lucky one” answers at random. Players can be changed. Here is a sample list of questions (you cannot answer “yes” or “no”):
- Do you go there often? (Every Friday, three times a week, rarely but with pleasure)
- Do you like this place? (It can be better, I still don’t understand for sure)
- Who do you usually go there with?
- With whom from famous people would you like to meet there?
- What do you usually take with you there? Name three things.
- What do you usually do there?
- Why did you choose this place?
We change the sign and the player. It's fun when kindergarten go once a month with Alla Pugacheva, take a laptop and a toothbrush with you, practice ballet there or eat pizza)
Downed pilots
I once held this game on February 23 at school, but all the spectators were so carried away that I boldly suggest organizing it at a birthday party. Oddly enough, it’s exciting.
We make 5-6 paper airplanes, and put about 20 paper lumps in a basket. One person flies airplanes (choose the most long side), everyone else is trying to shoot down flying planes. If this is a competition to identify the winner, we give each person 5 attempts.
Fashion show
It can be held at the moment when you want to invite guests to the table. Line them up against the opposite wall and solemnly announce (no need to hand out roles in advance): “The following have arrived for the gala dinner: a famous yogi, a dancer from the east, Baba Yaga, a fairy-tale Princess, an Ogre, a rat from Shusher, a Ballerina from Bolshoi Theater, one-legged Pirate, President of Russia, bodybuilding champion, famous supermodel (actress), a baby who learned to walk today.
All guests need to walk a few steps in character and sit down at the table.
Unlucky sculptor
There is no need to tell anyone the name of the competition in advance, otherwise the meaning will become clear, and we don’t need that. All guests must go to another room, leaving only the host and three players. You appoint one as a sculptor and ask him to put the other two in the most uncomfortable positions. For example, let the first one freeze, doing push-ups from the floor in the top position, and the second one sit on his back, clasping his hands behind him. And now the presenter changes the one who has the hardest time in the new sculpture to the sculptor himself. Since you yourself invented torture for others, take the rap :-).
Now you can start one new player from another room. Now it is the sculptor who must examine the previous strange statue and create his new one, again coming up with complex poses. We repeat everything, the sculptor takes the place of the victim himself. It always turns out funny, try it! Naturally, all other guests enter one by one and remain in the room until the end of the game.
Snowman
Line up several people (4-6) behind each other, sideways to the guests. Show the last player a simple drawing of a snowman and ask him to draw THIS on the back of the previous player. He tries to understand what was depicted to him, draws on his back what he understood (silently). So we get to the first in this line, who must depict the initial drawing on blank paper. Usually the snowman turns into a face :-). The rest of the details are lost along the way.
Guess what's in your hands
Thanks to the oddities of the manufacturers soft toys, this competition turns out to be funny. We blindfold the player and ask him to guess what he is holding in his hands. For example, when we asked to identify a snake in a Santa Claus hat with a bag for gifts, the girl said that it was a snail. Guests are always surprised that they were unable to guess such an obvious animal. It’s funnier if a person comments out loud on his guesses.
What would the Indians call you?
This is not a competition, just a reason to laugh at the table while eating cake. I found a picture on the Internet and laughed myself. These are joke names that the Indians might give you. The first column is the first letter of the name, the second column is the first letter of the surname. I, Irina Panasyan, would be called the Playful Pelican...
Verbal shifters
Solving the shifters is fun. Let me remind you that this is:
Milk boils over standing sand (which in translation means “Water does not flow under a lying stone”).
I won’t list all the options with answers, just copy the link, there are about 100 options:
http://livk.ru/category/igry/perevertyshi/
Upside-down pictures
Print these pictures and cut them out so that the answer is not so obvious. In principle, you can cover the half with a sheet of paper directly on the monitor. First, show the first one: “You see, here a huge crow grabbed little man beak. Guess what you will see if you turn the picture over.” Correct answer: “A man in a boat near an island, to which a huge fish swam.” There is a lot of this on the site I give!
Puzzles
Move 3 matches so that the arrow points in the other direction. There are answers to all riddles!
I advise you to buy fireplace (long) matches. This is more obvious in a company.
Questions and answers
This is absolutely a win-win entertainment. Tested at thousands of children's and adult parties. I found a site that has a selection of questions and answers that are relatively appropriate for birthdays for 12-14 year olds.
This is how it should be done. It is enough for only the presenter to have questions; you can read them in a row. But the answers should be printed on separate pieces of paper and guests should be invited to draw out a piece of paper at random: “Do you brush your teeth?” - “Yes, I have many talents...”
Drawing 3D
Nowadays creative master classes are popular even among adults, so let’s not lag behind. I like that this particular drawing ALWAYS works for EVERYONE, and it looks very impressive. What do you need? Album sheets for each person, a simple pencil, markers and 5-7 minutes of time.
Place your left palm on the sheet and trace along the outline with a pencil. Now take a felt-tip pen of any color and draw parallel lines at a distance of 1 cm from each other. Just a straight line from the edge of the paper, and where the outline of the hand begins, you need to draw an arc. After the outline of the hand, continue the straight line. From the picture, I think everything is clear. It turns out a real 3D drawing! I think it's great!
Using felt-tip pens of other colors, we repeat the bends of the first lines, this is already quite simple. If you put a date on the picture and hang it in a frame, you will remember for a long time what a good time you had with your friends on your birthday.
What else is on this site...
- There are excellent quest scenarios:, and, which you can organize for your guests. In both quests, you can change the tasks themselves (make them more difficult or easier).
- If there are only girls at the party, look and.
- . There are tasks there that can be used not only in the New Year.
- Also... At this age they often end up studying music and drawing, so I advise you to watch:
Let the child himself organize a gala event in his honor, but again, still under your strict guidance. Together, make a list of necessary purchases, sign invitation cards together, visit a store together, where the hero of the occasion can choose and order a cake for his birthday. Let him prepare simple snacks and sandwiches, iron the tablecloth and arrange the cutlery.
If your child's birthday will be held within the walls of the house, you can resort to one little trick in order to make the holiday more relaxed than the birthday boy expects: ask him to send invitation cards to his friends, which will indicate that the dress code for his birthday should be exclusively evening: cocktail dresses for girls, suits for boys.
You will see that both girls and boys will be afraid of ruining the outfits they bought for this occasion, and will be much more careful during the holiday. This way you will protect your home from possible chaos. As for organizing a festive feast, we advise you to once again give preference to a buffet; do not serve festive treats in portions; let the children look after each other on their own.
As for the question of where to celebrate the birthday of a 12-year-old child, there is, of course, no definite answer. You should ask the birthday person himself where he would like to spend his holiday. At the age of twelve, children still often prefer home parties.
Ideas on how to celebrate a 12-year-old child's birthday
An excellent option for celebrating is to divide your child’s birthday into two parts: formal and informal. Adults (parents of the child and other invitees) can and should take part in the official part, but the second part should be left “to be torn to pieces” by children.
For example, if your daughter invited two to four of her closest friends to her birthday, you can turn the informal part into a pajama party, the organization of which falls entirely on the shoulders of the hero of the occasion. If difficulties arise, give your daughter a couple of ideas on how to make the “pajama party” interesting and exciting: together with friends, draw a wall newspaper in honor of the birthday girl, make a surprise candy, arrange a quiz with riddles, or play children’s favorite games. You can complete such a magnificent party by inviting your daughter’s guests to stay with you for the night (of course, by prior agreement with their parents).
For the birthday boy interesting idea for the twelfth birthday is to stylize the holiday according to the type of fantasy works, for example, “The Lord of the Rings”. Clothing, home decoration, menu festive table must correspond to the theme of the special event. Several competitions on the theme of the work will come in handy. Guests of the holiday can be accepted into the brotherhood of the ring, the head of which will be the birthday boy; compose some kind of comic oath for acceptance into the brotherhood, and the like.
Any creative tasks are perceived by children of twelve years of age with delight and great enthusiasm. Organize a master class in beadwork, soap making or sushi making for your daughter and her friends. Give sons board game"Monopoly" or "Mafia", playing which with friends, he can have fun on his birthday. A photo shoot with friends and the shooting of a music video with the birthday boy in the title role will complement the special event. This competition is a variation of the game "Crocodile". The players are divided into two teams. A participant in the first group has a very long and complex word or phrase spoken into his ear, for example, “deoxyribonucleic acid,” “identification,” or “exaltation.” The participant's task is to explain to his team the meaning of this word using gestures, so that they guess it. One child sits on a chair facing a light, uncluttered wall, towards which a light source is directed, for example, a table lamp. The rest of the competition participants take turns, moving slowly, behind him. The task of the person sitting on the chair is to guess from the outlines of the shadows who exactly passed by him. All children who wish to take part in the competition must sit on the chair. The participant who gives the most correct answers wins. The presenter shows the children a picture, which is covered with a sheet comparable in area to it, and with a small round hole in the center, periodically moving it in different sides. The task of the competition participants is to guess what is drawn in the picture, comparing the parts they see into a complete image. The one who gives the correct answer faster wins. Accordingly, there should be several such pictures. Children stand in a circle. The presenter asks them to connect the fingers of their hands, touching only with their little fingers. Then he asks you to bend one leg. Next, each of the guys must say their name in turn, and then say the phrase: “I don’t know how to play this game.” So each of the children says his name and reports ignorance of the game. After this, the presenter puts his hands on his hips and says in a serious tone: “If you all don’t know how to play this game, then why are you all standing here?”
An original end to the holiday
This day full of events, smiles and impressions is coming to an end. You can end it by presenting a gift to both the birthday boy and all his friends. Your child will be pleased with the attention that you will provide not only to him, but also to his friends. Towards the end of the holiday, you can hold a pleasant and in every sense fun competition.Place the birthday person on a chair, at this time stand behind him with a bag in which gifts will lie, feel like a kind of Grandfather Frost. You take out the gift and ask the hero of the occasion the question: “To whom?” The birthday boy names the name of any person present at the celebration, who is given the gift.
Give the hero of the occasion a bunch of keys from the chest you have stored, which will contain a gift that is rightfully due to your beloved child. To applause and loud shouts: “Congratulations!” The birthday boy opens the chest, inside of which, of course, is exactly what he has dreamed of for so long.
What to give a child for his 12th birthday: gifts for boys and girls
When choosing a gift for a twelve-year-old birthday boy, parents are often lost. On the one hand, their child is still interested in some toys. On the other hand, he already has quite adult hobbies, he begins to be interested in gender relations, social life and think about your appearance. In order to choose a gift that will bring joy to its owner, you need to understand how twelve-year-old children live today.The first group of interests includes the attributes of childhood. Girls of twelve years old are still very fond of various soft toys, and girls' rooms are often filled with a huge number of large teddy bears and pink bunnies. Boys of this age are keen computer games and films about robots and superheroes.
The second group of interests of twelve-year-old children is related to the world of technology. Modern children can no longer imagine their lives without computers, tablets, cell phones, e-books and other devices with which they communicate on social networks, learn useful information and play online games.
The third group of interests is awareness of one’s own image. Adolescence is the second and final period of development of self-awareness. Now children are interested in how they look, so all those items that highlight the advantages of their appearance are suitable as gifts: clothes and accessories. Notepads, personal diaries, CDs with music, sports paraphernalia: skateboard, snowboard, cool bike, rollerblades - all this will bring joy and happiness to your child.
The easiest way to entertain children aged about 10 at a birthday party celebrated at home is by having funny Games and competitions.
If you are now on this page, it means your child’s birthday is coming soon!
What to give and how to surprise? What is the most interesting way to spend the holiday itself if friends and classmates are expected to visit?
Organize interesting competitions and game quizzes, and then no one will be bored!
Where to begin?
Oddly enough, I advise, with banal safety precautions for knees and elbows:
- free up enough space for children's fun - the furniture may become crowded on such a day;
- hide sharp and breakable objects - little guests are usually characterized by mobility.
The game itself should not tire children - otherwise the intended fun will cease to be fun!
The room is ready. Now you can start the competitions themselves!
To add variety to your birthday, we offer several types of home games and competitions for boys and girls aged 10, 11 and 12 years.
Outdoor games-competitions
Pop the ball
Children are divided into 2 teams. Everyone has a multi-colored ball in their hand.
On command, you need to burst your opponent's balloon with your hands. The team with the most whole balls left wins.
Freeze
The presenter throws balloon. While it is in the air, you can move, dance, talk. As soon as the ball touches the floor, everyone freezes.
The one who does not have time to freeze is eliminated.
The game continues until the last winner.
Runaway chair
The chairs are placed in a circle. The number of players is one less than the number of seats.
On command or when the music starts, the players begin to walk around the chairs. The music stops or the command “stop” sounds - the players try to sit down. The one who doesn't get a chair is eliminated. After this, one chair is removed.
The competition is held until the last person sits down.
Alternatively, it’s interesting to use hoops instead of chairs. When the music ends or at a signal, the players sit (or stand) in the free hoops.
potato spoon
Two teams. In one corner of the room there is a container with potatoes. In another, children stand with spoons in their hands near two empty bowls and plates.
At the signal, each team must take turns using a relay race to bring one potato to their plate using only a spoon.
Those who move all the potatoes faster win.
floating apples
Children are divided into two teams.
In two large basins, apples with petioles float in the water. Apples exactly equal to the number of children. At a signal, players from each team take turns trying to catch the apple by the handle without using their hands.
Those who complete the task faster win.
When choosing apples, I advise you to ensure that the petioles are long enough and strong enough.
Basketball basket
Two teams playing. In front of each is an equal number of sheets of paper and a basket (alternatively, you can use a saucepan or other deep container).
The task is to roll up a paper “ball” and throw it into a basket.
The team with the most hits after the sheets run out will win.
Option – play for a while. Then more paper is given.
Get dressed in a minute
You can play in winter.
Two players play blindfolded. The same number of outerwear items - jackets, hats, scarves - are laid out on two chairs.
The winner is the one who puts on all the laid out clothes faster and more correctly.
Option – 2 blindfolded players dress one of the guests.
I think everyone will have fun!
Birthday gift
Two teams – two “gifts”. This could be a toy, fruit or any suitable item.
The players line up one after another. On command, the “gift” is passed along the chain. Those whose item reaches the birthday person faster will win.
And the game is best held only with a sufficient number of guests.
Cobweb
One of the guests turns away or goes into another room.
The rest of the children join hands, and it turns out to be a long “spider web”. Then, without letting go of their hands, everyone gets entangled in a tight ball.
The presenter must unravel the “web” without tearing it even once.
Lego relay race
Two teams - two identical Lego sets (or any other constructor).
For a while we need to build an interesting structure. Speed and “architectural solution” are assessed.
Option - the game is played in a chain. Children take turns placing their piece.
Glomerulus
Two players are given a rope or any cord of equal length.
The task is to wind the ball faster.
Option - stick (pencil). The attached rope needs to be wound.
Children's bowling
With the help of simple pins and balls you can organize an almost adult bowling alley. Instead of skittles, you can use other objects or toys.
Hit the target
You will need a drawn target and balls with Velcro. After the hits, we count the points.
Creative and intellectual competitions
Who called me?
The players stand in a wide circle. The driver, blindfolded, stands in the center. They spin him around a little and ask him to guess who called by name. The one who was guessed sits or stands in the place of the driver.
Chain of words
Two teams with an equal number of players. Each person has a piece of paper and a pen (pencil). The first player from the team writes down any word. Each subsequent word begins with the last letter of the previous one. It turns out to be a chain of words.
The game is played against time.
The team with the most words written wins.
Cat in a poke
The simplest items that need to be recognized by touch without taking them out are placed in a beautiful bag. The one who guesses the most items wins.
Option - for greater entertainment and fun, objects are shown to the guests, but in this case the driver is blindfolded.
Two or three teams, each with 3 people. Three sheets of paper are issued.
In the allotted time (2-3 minutes), the players disperse in different directions and draw a fantastic animal: some with a head, some with a torso, some with legs and paws.
Then all the sheets are put together, and the team with the funniest animal wins.
In this competition, I believe that what is more important is not the victory of any team, but the general fun!
Broken phone
Which adult doesn't know this game?!
But I suggest you make it a competition for children at their birthday party.
Divide the guests into 2-3 teams. Place them one after the other. The first person in the chain of each team has his say. The players pass it on in a very quiet whisper to each other. The latter must say out loud which word he heard.
Those who most accurately conveyed the word to the first in the team win.
Colored tags
This, in my opinion, is very funny competition, which combines movement and intelligence.
The presenter says the words: “One-two-three! Find white (blue, green, gray, red...)!”
The players immediately grab the named color wherever they can find it around.
Whoever fails to touch an object with a given color, or is the last, is eliminated from the game. The rest continue until there is a winner.
Fun alphabet
The presenter names any letter of the alphabet. Children must write as many words as possible with this letter within a certain time (2-3 minutes).
The one with the longest list wins.
Collect a picture
Each player is given a cut picture that needs to be assembled. The theme can be different: cartoons, games, nature, animals... You can use pages of children's magazines or pre-print pictures according to the number of guests.
The game is played against time.
Puzzles with matches
Options:
- “Write” the given phrase with matches.
- Draw an animal.
- Mathematical tasks involving moving and removing matches.
You can buy either regular or long “fireplace” matches.
Competition games for girls 10-12 years old
Agree that there are competitions that boys will watch with a smile. But the girls will be happy to participate.
Fashionista
In 5-10 minutes, find in the room something you can decorate yourself with for the holiday. These can be any items of clothing, ribbons, scarves, ropes and hairpins...
Guests then choose the funniest fashionista.
It would be interesting to put boys on the jury.
Who was hiding there?
A hero from a popular fairy tale or cartoon is drawn on a piece of paper. The image is completely covered with the second sheet. The presenter gradually reveals the picture.
The one who guesses the character first wins.
Sad princess
A driver is selected (not necessarily the birthday girl), who sits on a chair and tries not to smile. The task of the players of this competition is to make her laugh.
The condition is that you cannot touch the “princess”.
wind-up doll
In the basket-box there are pieces of paper with the names of the players.
Everyone comes up with a task for the “wind-up doll”: to sing, dance, spin,... You need to show the task with facial expressions and gestures with or without a voice.
The driver pulls out pieces of paper and says who will perform the task.
Stylists (artists)
Guests are divided into pairs: client and artist.
Each couple is given watercolor paints. You need to do some fun makeup. Whoever comes up with the funniest wins!
An option for boys is to draw a funny face or animal (whether existing or not) on their face.
Exciting competitions for boys 10-12 years old
Pick up the key
Players are offered several locks and a wide variety of keys.
The task is to open each lock.
Collect the dragon
Players receive a box of paper clips. You need to assemble paper clips into a chain within the allotted time. Whoever has the longest “dragon” wins.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The competition involves couples who stand with their backs to each other and lock elbows.
The task is to run to the opposite end of the room without opening your arms.
Monster
Draw a non-existent funny animal and come up with a name for it. The winner is the one whose animal turns out to be different from the real ones.
Extra points are given for telling about the habits and habits of this miracle creature.
Fisherman
The players receive a long stick with a fishing line or string on which a magnet is attached.
In front of them are toys with magnets. The task is to “catch” as many “fish” as possible with your eyes closed. The difficulty is that they play in pairs: the “sighted” person directs the actions of the “fisherman”, who is blindfolded.
Option - you can attach small magnets to the candies with tape. And then the pleasure after the game will also be sweet.
Pirate map
Draw several maps of the room in advance, indicating the location of the “cache” with a cross. When hiding a “treasure” (any item), each time ask the “pirate” to find it, using the map as a guide.
Greedy
There are various things in front of the children (clothes, kitchen utensils, stationery, etc.) The players must take maximum amount objects... You can hold them with your hands, your head, help with your knees...
The winner is the one who manages to collect the most items without dropping them.
Collect the scarecrow
Guests are divided into two teams. Before each set various items clothes (scarves, towels, hats, shirts, etc.) You need to build a “scarecrow” from available materials.
The creative team wins.
golden goose
The name apparently comes from an old fairy tale in which everyone was glued to each other (the first one in the chain had a magic goose). Guests should be placed in a circle and asked to name some part of the body: “right knee”, “left heel”, “nose”, “chin”, “back”, “back of the head”. After that, on the count of THREE, you need to stick to the neighbor on the right with this very part. The location of gluing does not matter, as long as you don’t fall.
In this form, everyone should shout “Congratulations!” three times. A cheerful start to the holiday helps you quickly relax.
Fun photo shoot with a mustache
I like this activity because the photos always turn out funny, and people pose much more artistically. False mustaches, beards and crowns can be made from colored cardboard.
Dancing with obstacles
First stage. We stretch one rope at a height of 1 meter, and the other at a height of 50 cm from the floor. You can move them a little, not one above the other. As a rule, there is no place to tie in the apartment; you have to hold the ends of the upper and lower ropes in your right and left hands.
Now we turn on dance music (preferably fast Latin) and ask you to step over the bottom rope and crawl under the top rope. If there are few guests, several dance circles.
Second phase. We blindfold two participants tightly and ask them to overcome obstacles. We are quietly removing the ropes... all that remains is to observe the efforts of the careful dancers.
Frozen Artist
Presenter: “We need two people who can draw well.” He gives them a felt-tip pen: “Only today you won’t need this, I’ll put a spell on you. Imagine that there is an invisible sheet of paper in front of you, prepare a felt-tip pen and... freeze!”
We call the other two participants, to whom we give a landscape sheet (it is better to attach it to a solid base). The idea is for artists with felt-tip pens to stand motionless, and their assistants move the sheet along the tip of the felt-tip pen, trying to capture a drawing that everyone can understand. It could be a portrait of the birthday person, a birthday cake with candles, or just a house with a tree and the sun. Everything turns out funny, try it!
Siamese twins
You need to write some part of the body on the cards, call all the guests and line them up in pairs. Each pair draws a card and sticks with the body part they were given, like Siamese twins. Toes, heels, backs of heads, elbows, knees, backs. Now you need to tie a scarf to each other. Let one pair perform, the rest just watch. The one who had the most difficult situation wins. Try putting a scarf on your “twin” if your backs are stuck together...
What did you do there?
The game is equally fun among both children and adults, since it’s hard to think of anything more fun than random coincidences of questions and answers.
We write on the signs:“Dentist’s office”, “Director’s office”, “Toilet”, “Bathhouse”, “Bakery”, “Cinema”, “Post Office”, “Park”, “Zoo”, “Theater”, “Barbershop”, “Basement” , “Construction site”, “Kindergarten”, “Pension fund”, “Desert island”, “Fitness club”.
The player stands with his back to the guests, and the host places a sign with one of these inscriptions on his back. The guests know what they are talking about, but the “lucky one” answers at random. Players can be changed. Here is a sample list of questions (you cannot answer “yes” or “no”):
- Do you go there often? (Every Friday, three times a week, rarely but with pleasure)
- Do you like this place? (It can be better, I still don’t understand for sure)
- Who do you usually go there with?
- Which famous people would you like to meet there?
- What do you usually take with you there? Name three things.
- What do you usually do there?
- Why did you choose this place?
We change the sign and the player. It’s fun when you go to kindergarten once a month with Alla Pugacheva, take a laptop and a toothbrush with you, practice ballet there or eat pizza)
Downed pilots
I once held this game on February 23 at school, but all the spectators were so carried away that I boldly suggest organizing it at a birthday party. Oddly enough, it’s exciting.
We make 5-6 paper airplanes, and put about 20 paper lumps in a basket. One person launches airplanes (choose the longest side in the room), everyone else tries to shoot down the flying airplanes. If this is a competition to identify the winner, we give each person 5 attempts.
Fashion show
It can be held at the moment when you want to invite guests to the table. Line them up against the opposite wall and solemnly announce (no need to hand out roles in advance): “The following have arrived for the gala dinner: a famous yogi, a dancer from the east, Baba Yaga, a fairy-tale Princess, an Ogre, the rat Shushera, a Ballerina from the Bolshoi Theater, a one-legged Pirate, the President of Russia , a bodybuilding champion, a famous supermodel (actress), a baby who learned to walk today.
All guests need to walk a few steps in character and sit down at the table.
Unlucky sculptor
There is no need to tell anyone the name of the competition in advance, otherwise the meaning will become clear, and we don’t need that. All guests must go to another room, leaving only the host and three players. You appoint one as a sculptor and ask him to put the other two in the most uncomfortable positions. For example, let the first one freeze, doing push-ups from the floor in the top position, and the second one sit on his back, clasping his hands behind him. And now the presenter changes the one who has the hardest time in the new sculpture to the sculptor himself. Since you yourself invented torture for others, take the rap :-).
Now you can start one new player from another room. Now it is the sculptor who must examine the previous strange statue and create his new one, again coming up with complex poses. We repeat everything, the sculptor takes the place of the victim himself. It always turns out funny, try it! Naturally, all other guests enter one by one and remain in the room until the end of the game.
Snowman
Line up several people (4-6) behind each other, sideways to the guests. Show the last player a simple drawing of a snowman and ask him to draw THIS on the back of the previous player. He tries to understand what was depicted to him, draws on his back what he understood (silently). So we get to the first in this line, who must depict the initial drawing on blank paper. Usually the snowman turns into a face :-). The rest of the details are lost along the way.
Guess the soft toy
Thanks to the oddities of soft toy manufacturers, this competition turns out to be funny. We blindfold the player and ask him to guess what he is holding in his hands. For example, when we asked to identify a snake in a Santa Claus hat with a bag for gifts, the girl said that it was a snail. Guests are always surprised that they were unable to guess such an obvious animal. It’s funnier if a person comments out loud on his guesses.
What would the Indians call you?
This is not a competition, just a reason to laugh at the table while eating cake. These are joke names that the Indians might give you. The first column is the first letter of the name, the second column is the first letter of the surname.
Changelings
Solving the shifters is fun. Let me remind you that this is:
Milk boils over standing sand (which in translation means “Water does not flow under a lying stone”).
Famous lines:
- Summer! The landowner is depressed (Winter! Peasant, triumphant...)
- Four young men at the door were forging early in the morning (Three girls under the window were spinning late in the evening)
- Your aunt has almost false exceptions... (My uncle has the most honest rules..)
- The gentleman took on his chest a folding bed, a backpack, a cosmetic bag (The lady checked in luggage: a sofa, a suitcase, a travel bag...)
- Evil wizard Chernomor, I’ll stand on the grass (Good Doctor Aibolit, he’s sitting under a tree)
- A bug is crawling, vibrating... (The goby is moving...)
- The devil somehow confused a cow with a loaf of sausage (God sent a piece of cheese to Crow somewhere...)
Proverbs and sayings:
- New enemy worse than the old nine ( old friend better than the new two)
- Sell a stroller in winter and a dump truck in summer (Prepare a sleigh in summer and a cart in winter)
- Milk boils over standing sand (water does not flow under a lying stone)
- The night is fun in the morning, because there is no one to rest (The day is boring until the evening, if there is nothing to do)
Titles literary works:
- A tale about a living queen, but about 12 weaklings (“The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights”)
- Centimeter ("Thumbelina")
- Lettuce garden (“Cherry Orchard”)
- Directly by Shadow in 10 Nights (“Around the World in 80 Days”)
- Straight-backed lamb (“Humpbacked Horse”)
- Under-salted (“Over-salted”)
Questions and answers
This is absolutely a win-win entertainment. Tested at thousands of children's and adult parties. I found a site that has a selection of questions and answers that are relatively appropriate for birthdays for 12-14 year olds.
This is how it should be done. It is enough for only the presenter to have questions; you can read them in a row. But the answers should be printed on separate pieces of paper and guests should be invited to draw out a piece of paper at random: “Do you brush your teeth?” - “Yes, I have many talents...”
Drawing 3D
Nowadays creative master classes are popular even among adults, so let’s not lag behind. I like that this particular drawing ALWAYS works for EVERYONE, and it looks very impressive. What do you need? Album sheets for each person, a simple pencil, markers and 5-7 minutes of time.
Place your left palm on the sheet and trace along the outline with a pencil. Now take a felt-tip pen of any color and draw parallel lines at a distance of 1 cm from each other. Just a straight line from the edge of the paper, and where the outline of the hand begins, you need to draw an arc. After the outline of the hand, continue the straight line. From the picture, I think everything is clear. It turns out a real 3D drawing! I think it's great!
Using felt-tip pens of other colors, we repeat the bends of the first lines, this is already quite simple. If you put a date on the picture and hang it in a frame, you will remember for a long time what a good time you had with your friends on your birthday.
