Cards with numbers - one for each player.
How to prepare?
How to play?
- Everyone stands in a circle.
- First, let's set the rhythm. To do this, everyone claps together: “one, two” on their palms, “one, two” on their knees, then repeat.
- Then one of the children claps his hands and says not “one, two,” but repeats his number twice. For example, “three, three.” When he slaps his knees, he shouts out the number of one of the players: “six, six” and so on. Out of order.
- The one whose number is called continues.
- The main thing is not to lose your way. Anyone who gets confused or names the number of an eliminated player is eliminated himself.

Pros of the game:
Develops attention, calms the most nimble
Don't say "yes" or "no"
A game of elimination. Everything is quite simple: the presenter asks the participants questions in turn, and they answer them, but you cannot say the words “yes” and “no”. The presenter speeds up with each question, and the guys must answer quickly as well. Someone will definitely get confused and say the forbidden “yes” or “no”. Whoever says “yes” and “no” is eliminated from the game, and whichever of the guys remains victorious will receive a prize. And the questions can be any. Examples: Do you like ice cream? (of course) Would you like to fly into space? (possibly) Are you lying to your mom? (how is it possible?) Do you have a computer and so on (have).
Review of competitions and games
Not always at the holiday all the children know each other, so the program should begin with games that promote familiarization and unity of children, so that no one feels like an outcast, and everyone is included in the process, communicating with each other comfortably. So-called dating games will help you correct the discomfort and feel like a welcome guest at the birthday person’s home. Let's look at some of the most fun ones, which can be arranged both indoors (at home or in a cafe) and outdoors.
“Recognition” is a popular game that is suitable for both children and adults. Its essence is simple. The birthday boy is blindfolded, or you can play an honesty game, after which his friends come up to him one by one, whom he must touch and find out who it is, while commenting on his actions. Since the guesser will be wrong, his comments will be funny, and the guests will definitely be entertained. In addition, guests will remember each other, and the birthday boy will be tested on how well he knows his friends!
12 year old boys and girls will love the crocodile game. The rules of the game are that one person must show, using gestures and facial expressions, without using available means, the word or phrase given to him. The other players' task is to guess what they are trying to show. The one who guesses acts as a shower, and the previous person can guess the word for him. Here, ingenuity and acting skills are used, as well as the imagination of the one who makes the wish.
Another simple and popular game is “truth or dare,” which has many other names. Players take turns asking each other tricky questions, which they can either answer honestly, or choose a wish that others will come up with for them, and which they will have to fulfill. The fun begins precisely when wishes are fulfilled, so the company needs to try and come up with creative and funny tasks.
A simpler version of the game with completing tasks is forfeits. This game fits into table entertainment, and tasks should be prepared in advance. Having come up with funny options, you should write them on pieces of paper, and then put the pieces of paper in a hat or bag. Let the children take turns taking out forfeits and doing what is written.
Suggestive questions
You can hold a non-standard quiz at the holiday. The result will be something similar to an auction. The host says suggestive phrases, and the guests guess which object is veiled by words. The winner is the one who guessed right, he receives the hidden object as a gift.
- Football fans send the referee to him. This item kills bacteria and dirt. It leaves its mark in every opera. It can change shape and color, and be liquid, but not tasty. We are talking about soap, the one who guesses correctly receives a piece of fragrant soap as a gift or, on the contrary, to make it funnier - household soap.
- The best fortune teller who will tell you exactly whether she loves you or not. Drinking tea with her is a pleasure. The best gift for Masha! Of course, these are daisies. Give the winner a pack of chamomile tea.
- This item measures patience. If you don’t know what to give, be sure to choose this item. Coffee, juice, compote, jelly - you can fit everything in it! This is a cup.
- Always on the table. It exists both in the musical staff and in the mighty ocean. We are talking about salt, give the person who guessed it a whole pack.
- Everyone has one in their house, but it’s better not to approach it in the morning. Sorcerers enter the other world through it. Girls spend more time with him than with their beloved. This mysterious object is a mirror.
It is better to conduct such quizzes at an adult birthday; children need to choose simpler questions.

At the word “start”, the first participants take one ball and pass it to the second participants, the second - to the third, the third - to the fourth, and so on until the last.

Children's birthday contests for teenagers
It’s not easy for teenagers to find entertainment that will keep them interested and captivated. Fun should be funny, cheerful, entertaining - so that the children do not try to quickly leave the holiday, which has become boring, or do not bury themselves in their smartphones.
Birds at the market
This is an Italian competition. The game can involve from 6 to 8 participants.
One participant plays the role of the seller, the other must cope with the role of the buyer. The rest of the children squat down and clasp their hands around their knees. They will play chickens.
A buyer comes to the market and asks: “Do you sell chickens?” The seller replies: “I’m selling.” Buyer: “Can I look at them?” Seller: “I allow it.”
The buyer begins to walk behind the chickens, talking dissatisfiedly: “This one is thin, and this one is plump, this one is not young, but this one is dry, this one is too wiry and frail.” Then he grumbles dissatisfiedly and chooses chicken. The seller and the buyer lift the purchase, swing it and say: “You are beautiful, don’t unclasp your hands and don’t smile.” If a participant starts laughing or smiling, he is eliminated.
Putting shots
This is an exciting competition for teenage children. Place balloons on the edge of the table. The one who drives must be blindfolded and placed with his back to the balloons that lie on the table. The player must take five steps forward, and then turn around 3 times in one place. Then he turns around and tries to deflate the balloon. Quite often, guys lose the right direction and try to blow away the balloons from where they weren’t even there. It's funny and funny.
Goose made of gold
The presenter can remind the children of an old fairy tale, where everyone was glued to each other, and a magical golden goose led the procession. All players must stand in a circle, each can name one of the body parts. On the count of three, you need to stick to your neighbor with exactly the part that was named by the player
It is important to walk confidently and not fall. In this unusual form, children must loudly shout “Congratulations!” three times.
Dancing with obstacles
The competition consists of several stages:
You will need to stock up on ropes. One must be pulled at a height of 1 meter, the second 50 centimeters from the floor. If there is nowhere to tie the ropes, the guys can hold it. The music turns on, we step over the bottom rope, and climb under the top rope. The two participants taking part in the game are blindfolded. They must overcome obstacles to Latin melodies
The ropes are carefully removed, and the guys watch how the dancers try to carefully squat and step over.
Still artist
The presenter invites 2 people who can boast of artistic talent to participate in the game. Guests are given a felt-tip pen. The presenter says that there will be no need to draw today, because he has a magical gift and will bewitch the participants. Children should imagine an invisible easel in front of them and stand in front of it with a felt-tip pen.
Two more children are invited to take part in the game. They are given a sheet from the album, which is recommended to be attached to a solid base. The point of the competition is that the artists do not move, and the players with paper move the sheet along the tip of the felt-tip pen, trying to depict a drawing. The one whose drawing is more original wins.
Mimicry or pantomime
To conduct the competition you will need to prepare cards. You need to write a word on them. This is an object that participants in the game will have to portray using pantomime. Those invited will have to guess what is being shown to them. If no one could guess within 2-3 minutes, the participant loses and completes a penalty task. He can crow, meow, grunt, and giggle.
It is important that the entertainment that will be at a children's birthday party is not boring, mediocre or banal. In many ways, the holiday will depend on the host, his talent and ability to attract attention, interest and organize guests. Games should not be the same type. The main requirement is attention to everyone, variety and fun
Don't forget that competitions must be safe. Do not use low-quality pyrotechnics and do not trust children (especially small ones) to use candles, sparklers and other dangerous objects on their own.

Each group must come up with a name and identification motto. These little things will help create a team spirit, and children will be happy to unite as one team.
Set up a location for the game. It is necessary to prepare a device for keeping score, sheets or buttons for answers, and incentive prizes.

It is also important to alternate interesting topics for questions. This will help diversify the game and involve participants as much as possible in the process.
Don't forget about musical breaks and rest if you plan to make a long quiz.
Also, don’t forget about the gifts that participants will receive at the end, in addition to certificates. For example, small toys.
