The Sixth Birthday, or Adventures in Fort Boyard
Every year, for his birthday, we come up with something special for our son; fortunately, he was born on August 5, and there are enough scenarios for a children’s party in the fresh air. For example, last year we were looking for pirate treasure. All year my son enthusiastically watched Fort Boyard, and we decided to build something similar at the dacha.
So, the team consisted of five people - four boys 5-7 years old and one 6-year-old girl. First they had to get 5 keys.
The first clue is the riddle of the old man Fur (the old man was the grandfather, who was wearing a black beard), it was quickly guessed.
The second key - in the room you had to find, with your eyes closed, 5 pieces of dishes that were lying there mixed with toys. There was a key in the glass.
The third key was tied to the bench with tape. To get it, it was necessary to untangle the toys tied to the tape, a tennis racket and a tricycle. This turned out to be one of the most difficult tasks.
The fourth key is that they set up a “snake” on the road in front of the house, placing plastic cups of water. I had to ride my bike around all the cups without spilling them.
The fifth key is tasks for mental counting within ten. In the allotted time (they had to get an hourglass from the attic), the guys did not have time to guess everything, and one of them was captured in the attic by Elder Fura. But, having guessed another riddle, the prisoner was safely freed.
Now it's time for the hints.
The first mystery is that a wooden block was driven into the ground. It had to be swung from side to side, and at the bottom there was a hint - “red in color.”
The second riddle hung on a tree (the tree is beautiful, spreading, and you can easily climb it), however, there was barely enough time. The second clue is “with fluffy fur.”
The third tip was to hit the bucket with the ball five times within the allotted time. We've got it, and there's still half the time left! The third clue is “with a tail.”
The fourth hint is to inflate 6 balloons, according to the number of guests + one hint. Everyone had to pop a balloon and complete a task - jump on one leg to a tree and back, somersault over your head, name 5 edible things starting with the letter “v”, draw a man with his eyes closed, depict an animal without words, the fourth clue was “in a wheel” .
the fifth clue to the kids just like that, but then the mischievous time keeper (dad, dressed in a cap and a raincoat) intervened, who snatched the clue and ran to the lake. The lake has a shallow beach and the weather was beautiful, so we didn't hesitate to throw the tip bottle into the lake near the shore. While the children were undressing, one boy jumped into the lake in his festive clothes. He had to change his clothes, but he got the clue - “he sings songs and gnaws all the nuts.”
There was no doubt - it was a squirrel. Now the children had to fight with the time keeper for time.
The first competition is to build a tower. Whoever lands on the die loses.
The second competition is hammering a nail. The birthday boy confidently hammered the nail right up to the head.
The third competition is to lay out a sequence of colored balls from a mosaic, as in the example. First, you are given a minute to remember the pattern, and then the pattern is closed, and you need to repeat the pattern. The children won confidently.
Fourth competition - an ordinary plastic lid was floating in a bowl. Coins were placed in it; whoever puts in the last coin and the lid sinks loses.
Fifth competition - we picked different berries from the garden, cut cucumbers and turnips. The girl was blindfolded, and she had to taste what was put in her mouth. The task was completed flawlessly!
The most crucial moment came - the children had to distribute the letters (they were written on cards) and find their cards.
After that, they were launched onto the lawn, at the end of which there were prizes - small cars, simple games, dolls, beautiful hairpins, felt-tip pens, etc. The condition was the following: you could take only one gift at a time. During the allotted time, each one collected 4-5 gifts, and then a tiger, a good-natured cocker spaniel, jumped out onto the lawn. The children were delighted.
As a treat, we offered them small canapé sandwiches, stuffed eggs, fruit, “mushrooms” made from cucumber legs and tomato caps with mayonnaise stains and, of course, a cake, the recipe for which I found on 7ya.ru. It was called "cheerful little bear."
The holiday ended with fireworks, and then everyone went swimming. When the guests left, everyone vying with each other asked when the next birthday would be. We'll have to come up with something else next year!
