Who knows the birthday person better? Questions for the anniversary. Scenario for a man's anniversary. Cartoons and fairy tales
Having abandoned a simple feast, today many people come up with whole scenarios for their birthday. They must include speeches. One of the most favorite and at the same time simple competitions is a quiz. It can be on any topic and is appropriate for both children's and adult birthdays.
Themed games for children
The type of question and answer game that will be played at an event depends on many factors.
The visit of the royal couple will not be the first in our country. Prince Alexander and Princess Catherine will come from Serbia especially for the Tsar's holiday. A few years ago, Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Doña Margherita celebrated the silver wedding of the royal family in Belgrade.
The representative of Montenegro is Prince Nikola, an architect by profession and great-grandson of the last Montenegrin king. And this is not his first visit to Bulgaria. Prince Leka and his wife Princess Elias will also celebrate the anniversary. The 34-year-old prince is currently an adviser to the Albanian Foreign Minister, and the princess is a popular and famous actress.
- Holiday theme.
- Age of participants.
- Hobbies and activities of the participants.
- Number of players, etc.
If we are talking about a birthday quiz for children, then we must start from age first of all. If the birthday boy and his guests are no more than 5 years old, then it is better to take “Cartoons”, “Fairy Tales and Fairy-Tale Characters”, “Animals”, etc. as the theme.
Egypt Egypt will also have a representative. Along with the royal guests, Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha's birthday party will also bring together representatives of state and local government in Bulgaria - the NMS parliamentary group and cabinet ministers, as well as former political partners.
A visit to your beloved Borovets is also expected. There is another anniversary in the royal family - in March, the king's youngest grandson - the son of Princess Kalina - Simeon Hassan turned 10 years old. He is the only grandchild in the royal family who was born in Bulgaria, has Bulgarian citizenship and speaks Bulgarian. The celebration took place in Morocco, among Bulgarians from school to the Bulgarian embassy, and the cake was in the shape of the Bulgarian tricolor.
Cartoons and fairy tales
Most likely, children at this age will most enjoy answering questions about cartoons and books that they know. For example:
- Who lives in a hut on chicken legs? (Baba Yaga).
- Who has death at the end of the needle? (Koschei the Deathless).
- A dough ball that sings. (Kolobok).
- Who did Crocodile Gena become friends with? (Cheburashka and others).
- Favorite phrase of Leopold the cat. ("Guys let's be friends!").
You can come up with questions based on modern cartoons. For example, based on the series so beloved by children about Fixies, Smeshariki, Barboskins and Luntik:
A number of events are organized throughout the day that will contribute to the festive atmosphere of the complex. The day will begin with special guests Yordan Yovchev and Maria Grozeva. They will dine with guests and share interesting things about their racing careers.
Dimitar Tudzharov – Skumbata will entertain the participants and be the leader of the backgammon tournament. Any fan of the summer's most popular family and friendly game is free to join. Anyone who wants to take part can register for free.
The exhibition is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the birth of Simeon of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and the depiction of events from his life in some little-known paintings. The Navy Wind Orchestra will take a special part. The famous work of the German composer Carl Orff led to halls with four thousand ounces. A two-meter ice figure of the Dobrudzha Hotel will be raised in the meadow as one of the bright symbols of Albena.
- Which of the Smeshariki is female? (Nyusha and Sovunya).
- Who is the youngest in the Barboskin family? (Baby).
- Who became his Luntik family on earth? (Baba Kapa and Grandfather Cher).
- What do Fixies turn into when they look at them? (In cogs, bolts and screws).
To write questions and know the answers to them, you need to watch at least several episodes of these cartoons.
A quiz for a child's birthday can also be on an animal theme. As a rule, children love animals very much and want to demonstrate their knowledge about them.
Questions for children 5-7 years old:

- List the animals that have stripes. (Zebra, tiger, chipmunk, etc.).

Quizzes for adults
At an adult's birthday party, quiz topics can be problematic because the guests aren't always doing the same thing. Some people are well versed in higher mathematics, while others can disassemble and reassemble a car even with their eyes closed. Therefore, when creating a quiz for an adult birthday, it is better to start from the age of the birthday person and guests.
Quiz "80s"
If the guests present at the holiday in the 80s were no longer babies, then they can remember a lot from this time. Questions can be made in a variety of ways:
- List the general secretaries of the Communist Party in the 80s. (Brezhnev, Chernenko, Andropov, Gorbachev).
- Which country won the 1980 Olympics? (THE USSR).
- In what year did they start building the Channel Tunnel? (1987).
- When did the withdrawal of USSR troops from Afghanistan begin? (1988).
- Who sang the popular song Fade To Grey? (Visage Group).
Using the same principle, you can write questions for another era. Also, some people really like the birthday quiz with answers to trick questions.
Comic quiz
In a comic game, you don't need to be guided by logic. The one who shows ingenuity wins here.
- What is the cow in front and the bull behind? (Letter "K").
- How can a hunter get to the toilet on the other side of a stormy river? (Accurate shot).
- Where is there no water in the river? (On the map).
- If one egg takes 10 minutes to boil, how long does it take to boil 4 eggs? (10 minutes since they will all be in one pan).
- What kind of forests are these where there are no mushrooms, no berries, no birds, no animals? (Construction).
It will be even more difficult and even more interesting if such questions are answered over time. And the topics for such tasks can be very different; here you can no longer focus on the interests of the participants.

Anniversary competitions: creating entertainment for guests
An anniversary birthday - a special type of name day - is celebrated, as a rule, crowded and magnificent, and therefore requires more careful preparation. Such a celebration is best organized as a surprise holiday. The birthday boy also takes part in preparing the evening, but for some time it is better to keep certain moments secret for him.
How to start a holiday
The celebration hall is decorated in accordance with the theme of the holiday: welcome posters, photo collages, flowers, garlands, balloons. The whole atmosphere should be imbued with the anniversary birthday, for which you need to select appropriate music, decorate the festive table in a special way, etc.
Such an evening begins with a ceremonial part, but the hero of the day is congratulated in a special way, for example, you can sing in chorus a song written in honor of the hero of the occasion. There is no way to do without congratulations in verse. You can compose them yourself or use ready-made ones.
For the hero of the day who is young at heart and has a good sense of humor, you can organize a game “Find the Treasure”, where the treasure will be all the gifts prepared for the birthday. To prevent the birthday boy from getting confused, he is given a treasure map in the form of a scroll with clues. Guests can also take part by directing the treasure hunter with the words “cold” or “hot”. After the drawing, the birthday boy is given real gifts.
With the start of the festive banquet, a small “warm-up” can be done at the table, starting competitions for the woman’s anniversary with an auction.
To cheer everyone up at the beginning of the holiday, immediately after the first toast, you can hold an auction for guests. For fun, you need to prepare several lots that supposedly belonged to the hero of the day. Examples of such lots:
- the first diaper of the hero of the day,
- the car he played with as a child,
- the shoes he wore to kindergarten,
- laces for these shoes,
- photo of the birthday boy's first teacher.
Before the auction begins, the presenter announces that the one who says the last good word about the hero of the day will win the competition. A prerequisite is that the epithets that are awarded to the hero of the day must be harmless, and, of course, they can be pronounced only once. The winner who came up with the most recent original compliment, in addition to the lot, is awarded a certificate for “The Most Eloquent Guest.” A toast sounds “To the most extraordinary hero of the day.”
Competition "Gift for the hero of the day"
When all the gifts brought to the hero of the day have been presented, there is an opportunity to please the birthday boy once again. An anniversary toast, a ditty, or a song may be suitable as an intangible gift. For guests, write tasks on cards and place them in balloons. Each guest chooses a ball, bursts it and completes the specified task.
Sorting
To play, you need to assemble two teams of up to 10 participants each (there should be an equal number of players). The presenter says the condition according to which the players will line up. The team that quickly and accurately completes the task wins. The players must be fairly familiar with each other. Examples of tasks:
- line up by name (in alphabetical order),
- line up according to height,
- line up in ascending (or descending) age order,
- build in descending order of apartments or houses,
- arrange everyone in order of hair color changes (from blondes to brunettes).
Grandmother at the market
This competition is for a woman’s 60th birthday. The players should be placed in a circle (the game can be played at the table). The presenter says: “Granny went to the market and bought a coffee grinder...”. At the same time, he turns the handle with his hand, imitating the movement when grinding coffee, the players take turns repeating the words and movement after him. The next circle is “Grandma went to the market and bought an old iron.” Continuing to turn the coffee grinder, with your left hand you begin to stroke everything one by one. Then the grandmother bought a foot-operated sewing machine (foot movement is added), then a rocking chair (the players also begin to rock). And finally, a cuckoo clock (everyone says “cuckoo, cuckoo”). The main thing is to perform all movements at the same time; whoever gets confused is out of the game.
Grandmother's chest
To play, you need to prepare a chest or suitcase with various cool things. Two volunteers are participating. Before the competition begins, they are blindfolded. At the leader’s signal, they take things out of the chest and begin to get dressed. The one who gets dressed first wins.
Quiz “As you were, so you remain”
Contests for a woman's 45th birthday can start with a quiz competition. The host offers to participate in the prize draw without showing it to the guests. For the correct answer to the quiz, guests receive a candy point. The number of candies determines the winner, who is awarded a certificate for “The most inquisitive guest.”

- What was the weather like on your wedding day?
- The exact ages of her children.

After the quiz, the host invites everyone to sing the hero of the day’s favorite song. The birthday girl solos, everyone sings along. Texts for everyone must be prepared in advance. The program will continue with dancing, but not simple dancing, but on chairs.
Drill
The game involves two teams - men's and women's. Each has its own captain. The women's team is lined up in a corridor with the captain at the end. The men's team starts the game. The captain must walk through the ladies' line without a single smile and kiss the captain of the women's team. If he laughed (and the ladies constantly provoke him), then he must give a forfeit, and we appoint a new captain for the men's team. If the male captain successfully completes the task, the female captain is replaced, and the forfeit is also taken from her. The game continues until all the men on the team have passed the line as captain. Then the teams switch places, and the female captain walks through the male line and kisses the male captain. At the end, the prisoners and forfeits are counted and played out.
Dance on chairs
For a fairly relaxed company, you can offer cool competitions for a woman’s anniversary. Participants must be seated on chairs so that they can be clearly seen by all other spectators. Music is turned on with specially selected and well-known melodies - waltz, gypsy, lezginka, rock and roll, twist, tango, Russian “Barynya”. The tunes change every 30 seconds, and guests show off their talents without rising from their chairs. The competition can be complicated by asking guests to dance only with their hands, heads, etc. the winner is awarded the prize “The Best Dancer” and is offered a toast “To the most cheerful guests at the holiday.”
Catch a fish
For the competition you need to prepare several paper fish. Participants are divided into pairs, and a fish is tied from behind to the partner’s belt so that it drags along the ground. During the dance, men try to step on the fish and tear it off, while protecting their lady's fish. The couple that keeps their fish until the end wins.
Ode to the hero of the day
For a woman’s 50th birthday, the “Ode to the Jubilee” competition will come in very handy. The host invites guests to write an ode in honor of the respected birthday girl. The rhymes that need to be used for this are posted in advance. To stir up interest in the competition, it is also advisable to announce the prize (in the form of a bottle, for example, champagne) in advance. Here are some sample rhymes for the ode:
The competition continues all evening, summing up the results, the winner is awarded the coveted prize and a certificate “For the gift of poetry.”
Remember everything
Divide the players into pairs and line up with their backs to each other. Participants tune in to each other, trying to remember his appearance as accurately as possible. The presenter invites everyone to remember their partner in detail, and no even sidelong glances are allowed. Here is an approximate list of tasks that everyone answers in turn:
- What is the partner's name?
- The color of his eyes.
- How long are the trousers (even if the lady is wearing a skirt, the question should sound exactly like that).
- What kind of shoes does your partner wear?
- What's on your partner's neck?
- Which hand is the watch on?
- How many rings are there on your hands?
In the same way, you can ask the color of lipstick, earrings, tights, ties, etc. The pair that guesses the maximum number of correct answers wins.
Warm heart
All volunteers are given the same ice cubes. On command, they try to melt the ice by squeezing it with their hands and rubbing it on their chest. The one who manages to do this first receives a certificate “For the warmest heart” and a prize - a glass of champagne.
The host announces any dance and has a hat in his hands. You can dance in pairs or alone. Suddenly he puts a hat on the head of one of the players. The main thing is not to be left with the hat when the music suddenly stops - you will have to give away the forfeit. There is a nice variation: if a couple is dancing, you can put a hat on your partner and take the lady away from him in the dance. When enough forfeits have been collected, the second phase of the game begins. The presenter must have prepared tasks in advance for redeeming forfeits. Each phanta owner draws a card from a hat and completes a fun task. For relaxation, you can dilute the dancing with song competitions.
Volunteer singers are invited to join the circle; they receive cards with the names of political figures of different generations (Stalin, Brezhnev, Gorbachev, Yeltsin). On the other side are the names of the songs that the participants must perform. But it must not only be sung, but performed in an image that matches the image of the leader. It’s better not to overthink the themes and lyrics of songs and choose the well-known “Katyusha” or “Yolochka” to everyone.
You can't erase the words from a song
All guests play (can be used as a table option). Everyone is given a pen and a piece of paper on which they must mark lines from six of their favorite songs - 6 phrases. When guests have completed the task, they are offered a clue:
- song number 1 – feelings at the first kiss,
- song number 2 – memories of the first wedding night,
- song number 3 reminds me of the honeymoon,
- song number 4 – feelings a year after the wedding,
- song number 5 - what I think about today alone with you,
- thoughts from the morning after the golden wedding.
"Honorary wind blower"
Closer to the final part of the holiday, you can hold a competition for the anniversary of a 55-year-old woman for the title of “honorary wind blower.” The birthday girl should also participate in it. Each volunteer is given a balloon, which must be inflated as quickly as possible until it bursts. If the shape of the balls is unusual, the competition is more fun and difficult. If the hero of the day wins, in addition to a diploma, he is awarded the title “Chief Candle Blower.” If one of the guests, then he becomes the “First Assistant to the Chief Candle Blower.” After all the titles are awarded, the anniversary cake is brought out.

And the next music competition will be dedicated to trees and shrubs. Two teams can take part in it. Each is given a bell or whistle, with which the team can declare their readiness to guess the song. Examples of how you can make a song: 1. This old tree knocked on the window to invite a person to take a walk (“Old Maple”). 2. This tree is remembered when talking about the work of dark-skinned Moldavian women (“Smuglyanka,” a song about a maple). 3. The girl became aware of the character of her lover only after the bush had matured (“Viburnum has matured”). 4. For the heroine of this song, there is no better color than the color of this tree (we are talking about an apple tree, the song “There is no better color”). 5. This tree grows near the house of a girl who has been sitting too long (a cherry tree, the song “A snow-white cherry blossomed at the window”). 6.

If participants are disabled
It all depends on the preservation of intelligence and hand motor skills. With intact intelligence, wheelchair users can be involved in song competitions, quizzes, and board games.
If there are several elderly wheelchair users who want to compete with each other or just exercise, offer them a “race” from start to finish with one or two obstacles - pins at a distance that they need to go around.
A good exercise for them is pair riding, passing a small ball at the command of the leader.

The video shows excerpts from films with famous dialogues of the characters. At the right moment, the dialogue breaks off, and the guests must remember what phrase the hero of the film next utters.
2. Princess Nesmeyana
Those present are divided into two teams sitting on opposite sides of the table. One of the teams should portray the Princess Nesmeyana without expressing any emotions. The other team tries to make their opponents laugh without touching them. You can use jokes, anecdotes, and express funny faces with facial expressions. The one who laughs is out of the game.
3. Mafia
For the Mafia you will need playing cards. You can use sheets of paper and write - G (citizen), M (mafia), P (policeman). N (rapist), D (doctor).
On playing cards:
- G-citizen - all cards up to ten;
- mafia - ace;
- cop-jack;
- lady doctor;
- rapist king.
The number of players depicting the mafia depends on the number of players. For example, there are fifteen people in the game, of which there are 4 mafia, 1 rapist, 1 policeman, 1 doctor. Civilians include everyone except the mafia.
Players are dealt cards that they must not show. The host of the game says - Peaceful citizens fall asleep, and the mafia wakes up. Everyone got acquainted with the mafia, which makes a choice and falls asleep. Then the rapist wakes up and targets the victim. When a victim is chosen, the rapist falls asleep and the policeman wakes up. The policeman talks about his assumptions that the mafia is so-and-so. The presenter confirms or denies, after which the policeman falls asleep. The doctor wakes up, selects a patient and goes back to sleep.
The city is waking up. Players follow the leader’s instructions, close or open their eyes. Then the host announces who has become a victim of the mafia. This is usually done with humor.
For example:
- Ivan was attacked by a cat and died today.
- Irina died from worries about the cat that attacked Ivan.
If the doctor saved him, then Ivan was lucky; if not, Ivan is out of the game. The murdered person may have the right to vote if there are disputed issues after the murder. The host then announces the victim of violence, and she cannot have a say in the first vote. The policeman insists that such and such a person is a mafia, but does not openly say that he is sure of this. A person is collectively selected who can represent the mafia. By majority decision, the mafioso is eliminated without revealing his cards, since he could also be a civilian. They play until there is only one civilian or mafia left.
4. Complete the picture
All players are divided into teams, which are given a piece of paper and a pencil. The presenter names the animal that needs to be drawn and tells only the first player about it. The first player in the team begins to draw part of the animal, for example, the head, and covers it with a sheet of paper, leaving only a fragment. The next person then continues to draw another part of the animal, based only on the part that is not covered. Pass it on to another participant and so on until the animal is drawn. The team that draws the intended animal most truthfully wins.
5. Tentacle fork
The main goal of this game is to recognize what kind of object lies in front of the player. The difficulty is that you need to do this blindfolded, and study it with two forks, without touching it with your hands.
Two minutes are allocated for the examination, during which you can ask questions, for example:
- is this edible?
- is this a plastic thing?
- Is this item for children? and etc.
You can only answer yes or no.
Wardrobe update
For the competition you will need a large opaque bag in which various items of clothing will be placed. These items should be humorous, for example, you can put a cap, rompers, bras and other things with meaning. The host invites guests to take one thing out of the bag to update their wardrobe. However, not all guests should pull out, but only those on whom the music stops. This means that the guests must pass the bag to each other to the music, and the one on whom the music stops takes one thing out of the bag and puts it on himself.
Favorite songs of the hero of the day
The presenter should find out the birthday boy’s favorite songs in advance and prepare a short description for them, maybe even a comic one. At the festival, the host takes turns reading out the descriptions of the songs, and the guests must guess what song they are talking about. Whoever guesses the most will win a prize. Example description: a song about the thoughts of a girl who repeatedly asks herself the same question. The matter, of course, concerns love relationships. And on top of everything else, the girl also has a problem with her voice. (“Am I guilty?” Kadysheva); Some flowers are playing hide and seek, others are sad, and the song itself is a rhetorical question for girls: why is everything this way and no different? (“The daisies hid, the buttercups drooped”) and so on.
Terem-teremok
All guests are divided into several teams of 8 people. Each team is given a piece of paper (whatman paper or a piece of wallpaper). The presenter begins to tell the fairy tale “Teremok”. There was a mansion in the field, it was not low, not high, and in that mansion lived a squeaking mosquito, and each first member of the teams stands on his own leaf, then a clattering fly, and every second participant stands on the leaf next to the first, the violating mouse , and the third participant stands on the sheet and so on: frog-frog, bunny-runner, little fox-sister, top-gray-barrel and bear. The task of each team is to fit all the heroes into their tower (sheet of paper). Someone can pick someone up, press them sideways, climb on their back, in general, all methods are allowed. Those who manage to fit everyone into the tower receive prizes, for example, delicious lollipops.
For the whole family
The whole family can play the quiz “Fanta”. Each guest puts any of their things in the hat. The birthday boy turns away and says what this phantom needs to do. Tasks can be like this:
- Cackle like a little girl.
- Talk like an electronic robot.
- Dance on one leg and others.
A cheerful mood is guaranteed for the whole evening, you won’t be bored. Every birthday can be made memorable if you use your imagination.
