Let's go
The presenter takes turns reading out the phrase: let's go... and then speaks in riddles, and the guests must guess the country or place in this world where the presenter proposes to go. For example: let’s go to where the whale says “ouch”? (To China). Let's go to where there is a geometric figure? (meaning the Bermuda Triangle). Did you go to the place where they repeat twice that I’m a pony? (meaning Japan). Did you go where there is something new? (New Zealand) and so on. The guest who guesses the most countries will win.
Music competitions
Adults will have to work hard to prepare music competitions for children! Often mothers and fathers are not familiar with the work of youth idols. And the kids think the music their parents listen to is old-fashioned. To add originality to the genre, you can invite animators for competitions: a clown, a mummy, a DJ, etc.
"Musical Soap Bubble" Participants are given bubble kits. While the music is playing, guests try to blow the biggest soap bubble. Each player will have several attempts in reserve. But when the music ends, the competition stops. The one who can inflate the biggest bubble wins.
"Songs with numbers." 2-3 teams participate. Time to think – a few seconds. Each team sings a few lines of the song where the numbers appear. A team is eliminated from the game if it cannot complete the task for more than 10 seconds. The turn moves on to the next team. The remaining team wins. There are a lot of songs with numbers. For example, “Twice two is four”, “Three tankmen” and others. The competition can also be an occasion to perform a dream song for the birthday boy at the end and take a cake to the center of the room.
Commercial break
We all know well what advertising is and how it affects product sales. But today it will be necessary to advertise not a product or a service, but a birthday person. Whichever participant comes up with the most creative and funniest advertisement will receive a prize. As an example, the presenter can read out the following advertisement: “A stylish, powerful, compact vacuum cleaner that will make your room clean and bright in an instant. Right now, buy a Yula vacuum cleaner on a special offer and receive sunglasses as a gift, they will make cleaning more fun.” Only guests should remember that the object of their advertising is the hero of the occasion.
Game "Toast to the birthday boy" on his birthday
How to prepare fun birthday contests? It is best if they are at least slightly related to the hero of the occasion. An example of the simplest word game for a birthday is a toast to the birthday boy, composed right there at the table.
What will you need for this entertainment?
A pen and a card in which you need to write a congratulatory text in advance, using blanks instead of adjectives - you will fill them in together with the guests.
Text of the blank for congratulating the birthday boy:
Those who do not know what should happen in the end will begin to diligently praise the hero of the occasion, listing his best qualities (young, smart, handsome, experienced), and those who are a little more familiar with this type of table creativity will definitely screw something up. something sudden and caustic.
While the guests are praising the birthday boy, you carefully fill in the words instead of the missing adjectives, and then loudly and with expression you read out the result to the friendly laughter of the whole company.
Pick one or two outdoor games for your birthday - for example, a small quest that can be arranged anywhere. Don't make it too long; three to five steps will be enough.
By the way, if you have enough courage, then try making the key the main subject of the quest, which is why the banquet hall is closed.
Good funny birthday contests also come from ordinary restrictions - a game with forks makes guests groan with laughter. To conduct this competition, you need to take several ordinary items (if you are organizing a birthday game, these can be especially durable gifts that cannot be scratched or broken) and two table forks, as well as a thick scarf. The hero of the occasion is blindfolded, given forks with which he can touch this or that object, and asked to guess what is in front of him.
Children's or teenagers' party? Funny competitions for teenagers will help defuse the situation just as much as competitions for adults. A fun activity can be done with four bananas and a stool (a coffee table will do). The idea is simple - you need to get on all fours, and using only your teeth, peel and eat a banana for a while.
Good competitions for young people should be fun and very funny. Competitions for teenagers can also be theatrical. Prepare several sets of props (ordinary household items in unexpected combinations - for example, a comb, a burnt-out light bulb and a chair cover in one set, and a mop, a soft toy and a bright plastic glass in another), and also prepare several names of popular films, focus on your audience - it’s better to take what is familiar to everyone.
The essence of the task is to act out a scene from the film using props. The winners are determined by applause.
Bread cutters
This competition is a great option to replenish the bread supply on the table. When the guests have stayed too long and there is no bread on the table, there is no need to disturb the host of the holiday. You can hold a competition. So, each participant receives a loaf or half a loaf of bread, as well as a board and a knife, and at the command “start” he begins to cut the bread of the specified format (triangles or rectangles), the main thing is that the format is the same for everyone. Whoever completes the task first—cuts the bread quickly and deftly—will receive a prize. And the birthday boy doesn’t need to run to the kitchen and cut the bread, because it’s already sliced.

At the feet of each first lying participant lies, for example, 10 balls (bouncy balls). At the command “start”, the lying participants with their right foot grab one jumper and lift it up, and the second participants take it away, then the first participants lower their legs and again grab the jumper and lift it up, and the second take it away.

Fun and funny competitions
Cool competitions will allow the children's party to shine with completely new colors. Down with boredom, you need to celebrate the holiday at the best level! Prepare them in advance, children will be very happy to play active dance games and quizzes for their overall development.
"Dancers" Music is playing. Everyone dances and passes around a note in which a funny task is written (perform some action). When the music stops, the guest completes this task if he has a note in his hands.
You can arrange a great prank and always stop the music when the leaf is in the hands of the birthday boy.

Friends line up and pass one coin to each other. Condition: you can only do this on your index finger! The last player places a coin in the jar. The team with the most coins in the bank can win.
Interior items
Before the holiday, the birthday person himself makes a list of furniture and interior items that guests will fantasize with. So, at the holiday, each guest in turn pulls out a forfeit, which indicates any interior item (refrigerator, sofa, floor lamp, fireplace, washing machine, water tap, ottoman, and so on). When all the guests have become familiar with their subject, the presenter announces the conditions of the competition. Each guest must show their imagination and come up with a fun pose to get a great shot with this very piece of furniture. The guest fantasizes, poses, and the host takes photographs. The guests will have fun, and the birthday boy will have funny pictures with each of the guests as a keepsake.
Dream bags
The leader has two bags. One of them is filled with notes that all the guests wrote at the beginning of the party. The notes indicate what they would like to give to the birthday boy if they could. Each note is signed. The second bag contains tokens with a variety of tasks - depending on the organizer. The presenter brings the first bag to the birthday boy, who spends a long time sorting through the leaves and finally takes out one of them and reads. The toastmaster authoritatively says: “This thing will definitely appear in your possession within a year if the author of the note completes the task.” And he invites the author to take the token out of the second bag, and then demonstrate how sincere the wish was.
Entertainment for guests at the table
