A child who meets his fifth birthday is celebrating a peculiar, first in his life, little anniversary. Therefore, five-year-old children are no longer passive spectators who prefer to observe the festive process rather than participate in it, but they are also not fast and nimble preschoolers who are able to clearly and vividly demonstrate their skills in collective games and competitions.

Taking these factors into account, a child's birthday - 5 years old - should be organized according to his age, skills and abilities. The same goes for the entertainment program. Competitions should be feasible, they should not imply winners and losers, since this is fraught with bitter tears and resentments, and in addition, games should be alternated with treats at the festive table.

It is better to postpone the celebration of the birthday of a child who has turned five years old to the afternoon. In the morning with the whole family, congratulate your little birthday boy. Wait for the guests after lunch. The duration of the celebration slightly increases compared to previous years and can reach four hours, but this is a permissible maximum.

It is at the age of five that children begin to understand the importance and significance of their personal holiday. They already have preferences for the people they want to invite to their birthday. Therefore, it is worth checking with the birthday person who and in what quantity he wants to see at the solemn event. After all, this is his holiday, right?

What to give for a birthday to a five-year-old child?

Five-year-olds are prone to a critical assessment of the world around them, so you may face some difficulties when choosing a birthday present, but, of course, they are not insurmountable. In order for the gift to please the hero of the occasion and evoke only positive emotions, a prerequisite for a successful choice is to present the presentation as a surprise. Two or three weeks before the celebration, gently hint to your child that you would like to know about his wishes for a gift. Having found out what the future birthday person wants, do not return to this topic any more.

The age of five is the age of testing and experimentation. Five year olds are very inquisitive and curious. Therefore, it is better to avoid gifts, the use of which, inadvertently, could harm the child. Stop your choice on what the birthday person has long dreamed of, but, as mentioned earlier, by all means keep your gift secret.

Among other things, by the age of five the child is already spoiled with toys of all kinds, so it is quite possible that the next teddy bear or maze will not delight your baby. Pay attention to various board games suitable for your child's age. Or maybe the child is already bored with his tricycle and should look after a two-wheeled "friend" as a gift?

For children of both sexes, puzzles and constructors are still relevant. Boys are still fascinated by cars and airplanes (stop your choice on radio-controlled models), girls still prefer dolls, but no longer pupsies, but “cooler” models: Barbie or Bratz.

Where to celebrate the child's birthday - 5 years old?

The birthday of a child who turns five can be celebrated at home, in an entertainment center, in nature, and in a children's cafe. It is already possible to involve persons who are professionally involved in organizing and conducting children's celebrations to participate in the holiday. Animators, magicians, clowns, people who organize soap bubble shows can become your faithful helpers and companions in creating a festive atmosphere. What to choose - a birthday outside the home or still in it, depends on your preferences and financial capabilities.

A children's party in a water park or an amusement park has its significant advantages. Firstly, all children love this kind of entertainment. Secondly, you won't need to rack your brains over finding contests and birthday games. In the amusement park, children will be happy to ride the carousels, in the water park, the children will have the opportunity not only to frolic in the pool, but also to frolic on the water slides. After that, you can invite the guys to your home and have a tea party, or even simplify the task and go to the nearest cafe, where the birthday boy and his friends can enjoy pizza and ice cream.

We considered several simple options for celebrating outside our homes, it's time to answer the question: "How to spend a child's birthday - 5 years at home?" First and foremost, you will need to draw up a holiday plan containing such items as: the number of guests, entertainment program, holiday menu. It is most important. The rest of the points need to be taken into account only approximately, since the program of the festive evening can be changed due to unexpected circumstances that are not always realistic to take into account when preparing for a birthday.

How to organize a party

If you intend to celebrate your child's birthday in a children's cafe, in a playroom or an entertainment center, then part of the responsibilities for holding a festive event is removed from your shoulders and falls on the shoulders of the people whom you will pay for performing these duties.

In this case, the organization of the birthday will consist in pre-ordering the premises, in expressing your wishes to the animators and in monitoring the children present at the birthday. To do this, it is advisable to invite two or three parents of your little guests to the holiday. In addition, remember that most establishments that organize children's parties have their own clear rules, so you should clarify them in advance, for example, this applies to the maximum and minimum number of guests. In addition, check the points related to the menu: can you buy something in addition and bring any food and drinks purchased outside this establishment, or is it strictly prohibited.

If your choice fell on holding the holiday at home, then everything is somewhat different here. The indisputable advantages of a home celebration are a valuable experience based on the past birthdays of your child, and knowledge of his needs and desires that no one else has. The difficulties lie in the great emotional and physical stress that falls on you when organizing the celebration yourself. But, as before, the joy of your child, which he will experience during the holiday, is much more important than these moments.

The main stages of organizing a home birthday are:

• choosing a gift for the birthday boy
• inviting guests
• menu compilation
• festive room decor
• birthday script writing: games, riddles and contests.

How to celebrate a 5-year-old child's birthday - stages

The first thing to start with is congratulating the birthday man. You and your family members can do it in the traditional way, but if you want to surprise your child, then make your congratulations original: congratulate the hero of the occasion with the voices of the heroes of his favorite cartoons. Of course, you need to practice beforehand for this. After congratulating parents and relatives, the turn of the guests comes, play a fun game called "Who knows the birthday man better": ask the guests questions about the preferences, tastes, desires of your child, about important events in his life. The hero of the occasion must confirm the correctness of the answers.

Next, you should go to the direct delivery of gifts. It will be good if you ask guests to give you their gifts so that you and yours can hide them in different parts of the apartment. Only for this it is necessary to sign each present so that it is clear who it is from. The birthday boy will look for gifts according to the tips of his friends.

After presenting the gifts, you need to offer the children a little refreshment before the start of the entertainment program. Sit the children at the table, offer the birthday boy to sit on the throne, which you, of course, made in advance. Serve the children with light snacks and sandwiches. Do not put fatty meals and other heavy food on the table, as taking it into their stomachs, children will become lazy and sedentary, and this is not necessary for you. The children are lightly refreshed, they are full of health and irrepressible energy. It's time to move on to competitions, for participation in which the children need to be awarded prizes and small gifts. Two adults are holding a blanket with two teams of children on either side. There are balloons in the blanket. On command: "Start!" the adults shake it and the balls fly in different directions. The task of the contestants is to throw balls from their side to the side of their opponents. The winner is the group of children who, by the end of the game, have no balls left on their territory, or have fewer balls than their opponents. There are real slippers scattered on the floor (if you don't have enough for all the kids, cut the shoes out of paper). Music sounds. When she stops, children should stand with both feet on any pair. The catch is that one pair of this whole pile is missing one slipper, so someone is always left with only one “shoe”. This someone also drops out of participation, then the game resumes again, and so on - until the bitter end. Show the children any object that vaguely resembles gold, such as a gilded spoon or a jewelry box. Hide it in the "bowels" of your apartment and divide the guys into two teams. Give them a treasure map and offer them, following it, to find gold. The team that completes the task faster will win.

Magic tricks for the birthday of a child 5 years old

Focus "Colored water"

Take three small jars with screw caps. Show the children that you are pouring plain water into them one at a time. Then tell me that you will now say the magic words and the water in the first can will turn red, in the second - blue, in the third - green. To the "accompaniment" of the spells, lightly shake each jar and - lo and behold, the water really becomes multi-colored. Secret: Before showing the trick, paint the back of the can lids with watercolors.

Focus "Hand snake"

Surprise the kids by saying that you can use a simple ruler to bring a kite back to life without touching it. Unbeknownst to the guys, rub the ruler against the woolen fabric that you have stored in advance. Bring the ruler first to the head of the paper-cut snake, then to the snake's tail, and the children will have an amazing view - the snake moves its head and tail exactly in those directions in which you move the ruler. Secret: the acquired electric charge of the ruler allows you to attract light objects.

Focus "Wonderful spoon"

For focus, you need an assistant. You tell the guys that he will take a picture with an ordinary teaspoon or tablespoon, and you can see on it the one who got into the "lens" of the spoon. Leave the room, the assistant pretends to photograph one of the children. You go back, take a spoon from his hands and unmistakably call the child who was "photographed." Secret: The toe of the assistant's right foot is aimed specifically at this child.

Riddles for the birthday of a child in 5 years

Riddles for children of five years old can be of any topic. An indisputable fact - the kids love them very much. But remember that riddles should be adapted to the age characteristics of children, and there should not be too many of them. Prepare about fifteen pieces just in case, but no more than ten at a time is recommended for reading. The other five will be needed if the children feel that there were few riddles, and they show their willingness to continue answering questions.

Examples of funny riddles

• Can an ostrich call itself a bird? Correct answer: no, he cannot speak.
• Which ear can't hear? The correct answer is a charcoal eye or an eyelet (handle) of a mug.
• How does summer end and autumn begins? Correct answer: with the letter "O".
• What can you see if you close your eyes? The correct answer is sleep.
• How long can a person go to the forest? The correct answer: it can go to the middle of the forest, then it already goes from the forest.
• Why do you go to bed when you want to sleep? Correct answer: by gender.
• What are we eating for? Correct answer: at the table.
• In winter, this baby is white, in summer he is gray, he does not offend anyone, but he himself is very afraid of everyone. The correct answer is a hare.
• On the trees - jumping and gallop flutters a red light. Correct answer: squirrel.
• This type is so huge that it looks like a crane. Correct answer: giraffe.
• A bird of prey with huge eyes hoots loudly at night. The correct answer is an owl or an owl.
• He has a nickel, but he cannot buy himself anything. Correct answer: pig.
• He's gray, but he's not a wolf. He has long ears, but he is not a hare. He has hooves, but he is not a horse. Who is this? Correct answer: donkey.
• Can't sew, can't weave, never held needles in his hands, but he dresses people at the same time. Who is it? The correct answer is a lamb.
• She herself is the size of a crumb, she is very afraid of a cat, her house is in the mink. Who is this? Correct answer: mouse.

If the children cannot cope with the riddles, help them. Ask leading questions, encourage. If the guys are not able to solve any of the riddles at all, go to simpler ones. To do this, you must have another fallback option with questions for the guys. For correct answers, reward the children with symbolic prizes.

Birthday games for a child of five

Do as I do

Children sit in a circle on the floor. One player shows some movement, such as jumping up and down. The second repeats his movement, but adds his own, for example, a wave with his hands to it. And so in a circle. The one who gets lost, forgetting to repeat someone else's movement, is out of the game.

Game "Guess the animal"

We tie eyes to the first participant of the game. We give in hand a soft toy (bear, bunny, chipmunk, and the like). The task of the child is to guess by touch which animal he is holding in his hands. It is better not for the birthday boy to play this game, as he knows his toys better than other children. If he still wants to take part, then invite him to guess the name of the objects using other things.

Game "Don't crush the egg"

This funny game can be played only once, since its meaning lies in the fact that one participant (let it be the hero of the occasion) has to walk blindfolded from one end of the room to the other, without crushing, spread out at his feet and further, raw eggs. That is, you lay them out on the floor when the player's eyes are open and he remembers their approximate location. Next, you blindfold the child and quietly remove the eggs. The rest of the participants in the game may pretend to shout words of warning to someone who is trying not to step on the testicles. The fun begins the moment the player removes the blindfold from his eyes and sees that he was trying not to crush what was not.

What else can you please children with?

In addition to contests, games and riddles, you can entertain the birthday boy and his guests by inviting a clown, fairy or even a real pirate to the holiday! Or you can organize a grand show of soap bubbles. If you don’t trust strangers or you don’t have free finances at your disposal, take everything into your own hands. Kids will appreciate your acting skills, you'll see!

It is quite problematic to hold a soap bubble show in an apartment, so it is worth taking the children outside. Or try yourself as a funny clown who will amuse the guys with his jokes. A birthday girl will be delighted if a fairy, fairytale princess or the heroine of her favorite animated film will visit her festive evening. The boy will be delighted with the arrival of Jack Sparrow, Superman or Batman.

End of the holiday

After the children have played enough, jumped and had fun, invite their table again, but not for refreshment, but for a full dinner, the crown of which will be a cake with blowing out candles. Turn off the lights and start singing a congratulatory song. Celebrate a birthday cake with candles in the room. Invite all the guests, of course, only after you, to pull the birthday boy by the ears as many times as he is.

After the gala dinner, you can organize watching your favorite cartoon or movie of the hero of the occasion together with all the guests. Turn off the lights again, scatter cushions and cushions on the floor. Give the children popcorn and mineral water. The festive film show will serve as an original end to the festive celebration in honor of your child.

Circle the houses with a string and put all the children in them, except one. They will play the role of kids. The kids live amicably and often run to visit each other. A gray wolf wanders around - alone and players. He tries to catch the kid outside the house. The caught kid becomes a wolf. The game continues as long as everyone is a wolf.

"Cold and hot." This game seems very mysterious at 5 years old.

The presenter hides a toy (dinosaur) unnoticed. According to the presenter, “cold - warmer - hot”, children guess where to look for a toy. The game continues for as long as everyone is in the role of a seeker. The found toy is a prize to the player who found it.

Guess the Beast is a fun game.

Children are blindfolded and given a soft toy. You have to guess who it is. An adult must start the game, who will deliberately think, twist, twirl and call the wrong hare a bear.

The first to start the game is an adult with a thin squeaky mouse voice, singing a song or reciting a poem. And then the children will take turns demonstrating their talents on behalf of the mouse.

Don't Crush the Egg is a funny game. It promotes the development of memory, attention and caution.

A piece of any fabric that represents the road is placed on the floor. Raw eggs are laid on this road. The player is offered to carefully look at the road along which he must pass and not crush a single egg. While the player is blindfolded, the eggs are quietly removed. Here he walks very carefully to the end of the road, and when the bandage is removed, the player and all the children laugh.

The Horned. The game requires concentration and attention.

All the children stand in a circle and shake their fists. The presenter says: "It is walking, it is wandering ... and when the horned goat says," everyone puts out their fingers. If the presenter says "hornless goat", then the fists are not unclenched. The one who makes a mistake drops out of the game and helps the leader to look for violators.

"It's in the Hat" is a musical game.

A beautiful hat is worn on any of the children who stand in a circle. Turn on music. The child in the hat turns around and puts the hat on to the neighbor on the left (clockwise). When the music stops, the one who is out of the game in the hat, sits down at the sweet table and waits for the others.

For the birthday of a child 5-6 years old

About Answer all yes, do not laugh, mummy, mirror, etc. And today I have prepared some more fun entertainment.

"Basketball" is a game for a company of children.

Fasten a wire ring against the wall at a height convenient for this age. The ball will be a balloon. The presenter explains to the children two rules of the game: the ball must not fall on the floor and must not be held in hands. The ball can be tossed and hit in the direction of the ring. Whoever makes the most hits in the ring will receive a prize - a chocolate candy, the rest of the players will receive a caramel.

"Images".

Lay out the cards with the birds and animals depicted on them. The player approaches the table and takes a card and tries to depict the one who is drawn on it with various movements and facial expressions. The player who is the first to guess the image becomes the leader and the game continues.

“We’re bored to sit” is a simple game for physical development.

Chairs are placed against the wall of the room for all children. One less chair is placed against the opposite wall. Everyone sits down and reads a rhyme:

Oh, how boring it is for us to sit Yes, to look at the wall. Isn't it time to go for a run And switch places?

At the command of the leader "start", all players rush to the opposite wall and try to take their place. Those who are left without a chair are eliminated from the game. Then another chair is removed. The game continues until the winner takes the last remaining chair. He is given a big ball (or something else), the rest of the players are given small balls.

Jenga is a board game that develops dexterity, fine motor skills and coordination of movements

This game is sold at a toy store. A tower of 18 levels is being built from 54 wooden blocks of different colors. For this, the blocks are folded in three pieces and the layers formed are stacked on top of each other, one across the other. A cardboard guide will help level the tower.

This game is most suitable for 4 children. You can play and two or more players. They take turns rolling a die with a color on each edge. Now the player with only one hand needs to pull out a block of this color from the tower and put it on top so as to continue construction. You cannot take blocks from the unfinished top layer and the layer below it. The player who destroyed the tower is considered the loser and the game continues.

"Nonsense" is a cool game.

We take a double (from the middle) sheet of notebook paper and two pens or two pencils. Two players sit on opposite ends of the table and draw, covering the drawing with their hand, someone's head (man, dog, hare, cat, goat). Then the leaf is bent so that the drawing is not visible, but only the neck is peeped out and passed to the second player. He draws the body (hare, hedgehog, man, bear, dog). He also folds the paper over to cover the drawing and passes it to the first player to draw someone's legs. Then he closes the drawing and passes it back to the second player, who draws someone's feet. Now we unfold the drawing and see what happened? Funny and fun.

For children 7,8,9 years old

For entertainment at the birthday party for children 7,8,9 years old, games of a slightly different nature are needed. These children are already elementary school students. They can read and write and play sports. At this age, children begin to feel like a part of the adult world. I suggest playing with them in the following games:

"Bear" is an active game.

One of the players is elected "bear". He lies down on the floor. The rest pretend that they are picking mushrooms, tearing raspberries around the "bear" and singing:

The bear has mushrooms in the forest, I pick berries, And the bear does not sleep, looks in both eyes. The basket overturned The bear rushed after us.

And then the bear rises and catches the fleeing players. Whoever he catches becomes a bear. The game continues.

"The third extra" is a musical game.

You will need one less chairs to play than guests. Both adults and children play. Chairs are placed with their backs to each other, with the seats facing out. Players stand around the seats of the chairs. The presenter turns on funny music, and the players start running around the chairs. As soon as the music turns off, the player must sit in any chair. Whoever does not get the chair is out of the game. One more chair is removed, etc. The winner is the remaining one participant.

"Sparrow-Crow" is a game of attention and quickness of reaction.

Two players sit at the table opposite each other and stretch out one hand to each other, but the hands should not touch. The host gives names to the players: one - "sparrow", the other - "crow". The host announces the names of the players. The one whose name is called must grab the opponent by the hand. For fun, the presenter slowly and syllables says the names of vo-rooo-na, vooo-rooo-bey, or maybe say vo-ro-ta. A caught sparrow becomes a crow, and a crow becomes a sparrow. The game continues.

Chamomile is a fun game.

A chamomile is made of white paper with as many petals as there will be guests. On the back of each petal, write funny tasks. Children take turns tearing off one petal and begin to complete the task: they dance, crow, sing songs, recite poems, tongue twisters, etc.

"Know" is an educational game.

All children sit on chairs in one row. The host announces the theme of the game, for example, the city. Then he approaches the player sitting on the edge, names any city and gives him a ball. The player must quickly name any city and give the ball to a neighbor. Those who could not name the city are eliminated from the game. Then the theme changes: fruits, flowers, countries, rivers, names. The game continues.

Such games are suitable for children 10 - 12 years old.

If you have a private house and it is summer outside or you celebrate your birthday outdoors, then they are ideal

"Smart and Funny Train" is an intellectual game.

The leader (adult) asks each player one question. For example, to which scientist did an apple fall on his head? (To Newton.) Which of the heroes fought the Serpent Gorynych? (Nikitich). In which hemisphere of the globe do penguins live? (in the South), etc. If the player answers the question correctly, then he becomes a smart locomotive wagon. If the player cannot answer, he can take a hint for a certain service: sing, tell a rhyme, dance, portray an animal.

A funny little train must gather all the players and the children-trailers will sing a funny song.

"Fishermen and Fish" is an active game.

Of all the players, two fishermen are chosen, and the rest of the players are fish. They dance and sing:

Fish live in the water, No beak, but peck. There are wings - they do not fly, There are no legs, but they walk. They don't give birth to nests, but they take out children.

After that, the fish scatter, and the fishermen hold hands and catch them. The caught fish join the fishermen, making the net longer, and catch the rest of the fish. The last fish that the fishermen did not catch is the winner.

"Pick up the key" - this game promotes the manifestation of skill.

Two players are given three closed padlocks and a bunch of keys. The task is to open each lock. The first to open the locks wins. The game continues as long as everyone is "discoverers".

"Will you go to the ball?" - girls love this game.

The presenter begins the game with a saying:

- Yes and no - don't say

Black and white - don't take

Will you go to the ball?

- Probably the player is responsible.

- Where are you going? Who are you going with? What will you wear? What colour? With such questions, the presenter tries to catch the player and use forbidden words. If by chance the word is said, then the players change roles.

Treasure Hunt is an interesting game that develops your ingenuity.

The first riddle-clue is read by the host:

Everyone who came to visit us

Let them sit down at our ... .. Answer table - the place where to look for a clue. There is again a riddle-hint in the table - which horse does not drink water? The answer is chess. In chess there is again a riddle - in a colorful candy wrapper she is dressed in a vase ... .. The answer is candy. In the candy there is again a riddle-hint - everyone is walking, walking, walking, only they don't get up. The answer is the clock. Behind the desk clock is a treasure - a box with small chocolates for each player.

Comic win-win lottery game

An adult presenter will lay out bright lottery tickets with numbers on the table, there are as many of them as there are guests. The player comes to the table, draws one lottery ticket and loudly pronounces the ticket number.

The presenter reads out the text corresponding to this ticket and presents the prize to the player. Prizes can be very different, and the texts for them are comic and better in poetic form:

Birthday games for parents

Children are very happy when their parents participate in their games. My grandmother told how she participated in the musical chairs game at her seven-year-old daughter's kindergarten graduation party and won the music competition. How all the children rejoiced, shouted "Hurray!" and applauded. And her daughter's eyes just shone with happiness. 50 years have passed since then, and my daughter happily recalls this interesting episode in her life.

I invite adult guests to play the following games with the children at the child's birthday party:

"Potato Soup".

Place two tables three meters apart. Put two plates of seven small potatoes on one table. On the other table are two empty saucepans. Two players are given one tablespoon each. The task is for each player to transfer one potato with a spoon to the pot, seven potatoes for the soup. Whoever completes the task faster is the winner. The game continues until all players cook soup. A prize for all guests for a chocolate candy.

"Korobokhod".

Prepare four identical cardboard boxes. All players in pairs at the command of the host "Start!" compete, who will reach the finish line faster. Then the second round is carried out out of those who won the victory, etc. Thus, the fastest korobokhod is chosen. He is presented with a flashlight prize.

"Kindergarten for kangaroo".

A rope is used to enclose a “kindergarten for kangaroo children” 2 - 3 meters from the starting line-rope. Children by 2 people take one soft toy in their hands (plastic bottles can be used) and only jump to the kindergarten. They return back, leaving the kangaroo in the kindergarten, also jumping. The one who returns faster will win.

They are replaced at the start by two parents and jump to the kindergarten to pick up the kangaroo kids from the kindergarten. And, also jumping, they return to the start. Whoever jumps faster is the winner.

"Magic Pencils".

Two plastic boxes with the inscriptions are placed on the start line: a walnut - a prize for the winner, a hazelnut - a prize for a losing player.

Now they take two identical pencils and tie to them along a thick woolen thread of the same length (about 3 m each).

Two players compete to see who will wind the thread around the pencil faster. According to the results of the competition, prizes are taken.

"Merry Orchestra".

Everything that is playing in the house (guitar, balalaika, tambourine, pipe) and even creaking, rustling, thundering (spoons, pots, metal lids, metal cans with pennies, etc.), we distribute to children and adults.

We turn on a funny children's song. All together begin to play, sing and dance. Under this amazing cacophony (chaotic pileup) of sounds, you get "awesome" fun.

If you ask a child about what holiday he expects most of the year, then in almost any case you can hear a simple answer: birthday. This is not surprising, because on such a day all attention is riveted to him, from all sides he is showered with congratulations and gifts, and at the end of the celebration he will have the most delicious piece of cake.

If a holiday is planned for this day, then everything is carefully selected: the menu, room decoration, guest lists and even music for competitions. For children, parents strive to choose the best, and the choice of entertainment is no exception.

How beautiful to invite guests to a holiday?

The tradition of inviting to important events is deeply rooted, but because of this, it does not at all become old-fashioned or dull. On the contrary, the original message will be pleasant for every guest. Here are top tips to help you make your celebration perfect.

1. Make up the invitation to match the style of the celebration. If you do them yourself, buy scrapbooking paper and design it in the style of the event: pirate cabin, dude party, princess school, royal style or outdoor picnic. To add charm, you can singe the edges, decorate it with ribbons and rhinestones.
2. If you have planned a dress code, be sure to inform the guests in advance. Consider carefully whether it will be convenient and appropriate.
3. It is worth pointing out that you are planning not just gatherings with a cake, but also contests for children 5 years old - at home or on the street.
4. It is advisable to write a message on behalf of the hero of the occasion himself, indicate the time, place and date of the holiday.
5. Take some time to hand them over in person or send them by mail for additional mystery. Here you can turn on your imagination and do it in any, even the most unexpected way.

Accompaniment of children's contests

Competition music is a very important component of all celebrations. For children, you need to select well-known songs. The best choice will be melodies from the screensavers of your favorite and popular cartoons: "Fixies", "Smeshariki", Winx, "Luntik", "Cars", "Little Mermaid", etc. You can find out individual preferences from the kid himself - who, if not parents know what kind of music or particular songs their child loves.

Particular attention should be paid to the theme of the holiday. If this event is for an active boy, then it is worth organizing pirate contests for children and creating the appropriate attributes:

• decorate the room with a pirate flag;
• attach a personalized sticker with pirate symbols to each juice cup;
• distribute toys in the form of pistols and sabers;
• think over a costume for the hero of the occasion;
• for winning the competition to issue the title of the most dexterous or the strongest pirate.

If contests for children 5 years old are planned in honor of the birthday girl, you can organize them in the style of fairies or princesses. In this case, it will be relevant:

• arrange a dance lesson for real princesses;
• dress up the birthday girl in a fluffy tutu, crown and beautiful shoes;
• give out earrings, trinkets or small souvenirs for winning the competition;
• arrange dishes and cake in the same style or color;
• decorate the room with balloons and confetti.

Competition "Funny Tunnels"

It is very important that at the children's party there were funny show jumping, because it cheers up both participants and observers. For such entertainment, you need to create attributes in advance - connect several cardboard boxes together in such a way that you get a small tunnel and children can crawl through it. For these purposes, you can use fabric or thick threads. On average, 8-10 boxes for two tunnels will be enough for two teams.

Children line up in a column, and at a signal the team captains run up to the tunnel and climb to the very end. Then they run around this obstacle, pass the baton to the first in the column, and they themselves stand at the end. The first team to cross the tunnel wins.

Smeshariki competition

In order for the name of the competition to correspond to what is happening, you need to pick up a soft toy of the required character and a musical splash screen. It will be even better if you run this contest in the style of the child's favorite character.

All children stand in a circle and quickly take turns passing a soft toy from hand to hand. This continues as long as the melody is playing. The one who has the toy in his hands at the moment the melody turned off is eliminated from the game. Such a kid is eliminated from the game, and the competition lasts until the winner is determined.

Contest "Room with ghosts"

Considering the scenarios of contests for children, one cannot but pay attention to contests with elements of fantasy, especially if the child loves and perceives it adequately. Preparation for such a competition takes a long time, but it's worth it. You need to choose a room that has a door without glass. It is in it that you need to turn on a small lamp, and put a candlestick with a lit candle in the middle of the room.

The children line up and everyone who has to enter the room is blindfolded. Then he is taken to the candlestick, his eyes are untied and he is quietly asked to shout so as to put out the candle with his voice. Then the child remains in the same room in order not to talk about how the competition is going to the rest. The essence of such entertainment is that the children in the queue do not understand what awaits them. This moment is the most intense, and the denouement in the form of solving the secret of the "ghost room" brings many vivid impressions!

Competition "Sweet Relay"

To spend a 5-year-old child's birthday at home cheerfully and amicably, you need to stock up on a great mood and friendly company. And for this competition - also sweets.

Children are divided into two teams, and one spoon and a saucepan is given for each. At one end of the room, they line up in a column, and at the other, on chairs, they put an equal number of sweets in plates. On command, the first person in the column runs with a spoon to the chair, picks up the candy with it and comes back, but at the same time he must hide one hand behind his back. Then he puts the sweetness into the team's pan and stands back. The first team to fill the pot with all the candies wins.

Equilibrium competition

If your child has a birthday during the hot season, you should definitely pay attention to summer contests for children. Outdoor play not only awakens activity and appetite, but also removes restrictions on movement. Moreover, for the next competition you only need a lot of free space and one ball.

The guys stand in a circle and suddenly throw a ball to each other. If someone does not catch him, then he is obliged to bend one leg at the knee and then catch the ball on only one leg. Due to the second conceded ball, the player is eliminated from the competition. The winner is the one who holds out last to the end.

Quests

Knowing how babies behave at a particular age, you can easily and easily organize a 5-year-old child's birthday at home. Competitions must be active and interesting. In this case, the best solution would be quests, because thanks to them you can keep the guests occupied for almost the entire time of the celebration, and make their every step bright and unforgettable. Quest is a kind of game during which participants solve various riddles, crosswords, puzzles and gradually reach the main goal - the finish line and the main prize.

The main advantage of the quests is that they combine games and contests for children 5 years old at once, and the whole celebration can be held as a single "marathon" in search of the main prize. Here is an example of how you can organize such a holiday.

1. At the beginning of the event, the child finds a personalized message in his little plate, in which the name of a certain object is drawn or written. For example, a refrigerator or fruit stand. Each toddler goes to the specified item.
2. In the place that was indicated in the message, there is a small piece of the map, where an arrow indicates the path to the birthday boy's desktop. To read the map, you will need to connect the entire map together.
3. There will be a clue on the desk - a small box with a set of things-associations. For example, a helmet, armbands, a bell and spokes will indicate that there is a stash in the garage with a bicycle ahead of them.
4. The quest participants get to the bike, which has a box of surprises for each child.

The number of steps can be increased and decreased, puzzles can be changed into funny contests, etc.

Competition "Races"

For such a game, you need to prepare the props in advance - tie a thread of the same length to two machines and connect its second edge with a pencil so that it does not turn on it and sit tightly.

For this competition, two players are selected, each is given a pencil, and after the command "Start!" they begin to quickly wind the thread around the pencil. The winner is the one who first touches the typewriter, but at the same time you cannot bend over to it. Such contests for children 5 years old are always successful, because the feeling of excitement and the expectation of a prize create that very festive mood.

Contest "Little Builder"

Cubes are hidden in advance throughout the room in various places. At the command "Start!" two teams are given one minute, during which they must find as many "materials" as possible for their creations. The team that collected the most cubes in a minute wins.

Competition "Festive Garland"

At the end of the holiday, children will get tired, because contests for children 5 years old will tire them. By the time their parents arrive, they need to be reassured and invited to create a garland for the birthday boy. Give each of them a piece of paper of the same size, a large set of pencils and markers. Let each of the kids draw something pleasant on a piece of paper or even write a few words to the birthday boy. Next, collect all the leaves into a single garland using a needle and thread. A significant advantage of such an activity is that children will be able to rest and calm down, and the garland can be kept as a keepsake of such a merry holiday for your child.

Final word on contests

To create a bright holiday, there are many well-known attributes: cake, balloons, menus and outfits. But it is the contests that create the atmosphere of brightness! For children 5 years old, it is important to organize games and entertainment, because without this it is difficult to imagine a holiday with a large number of young guests.

The joy, smile and sincere laughter of a child are dear. Agree, when we see that or are satisfied, when a radiant smile does not leave his face, our soul rejoices. We achieve some kind of peace of mind, some kind of inner harmony, when we understand that we managed to do everything right. If the baby remains dissatisfied, then it is not too difficult for him to convey his emotional state to everyone around him. That is why it is so important to work out interesting contests for children 5 years old.

But saying and doing are two different things. It is simple to say, but to do it is much more difficult. When you sit down to work, when you try to show all your creativity, all fantasy for some reason disappears somewhere. And there's nothing you can do about it. For most people this is the case, and there is no way you can change it. But the creative crisis does not at all put an end to your plans. You can still organize a fun event for the kids. You just need to find a source of exciting contests.

It is these contests for the birthday of a child of 5 years that we offer you. We managed to collect one of the best collections for organizing a children's party, and we will be happy to share it with you!

Fireworks in honor of the birthday boy
Scatter a lot of balloons on the floor. Is our birthday boy 5 years old? At the command of the presenter, the children clap their hands 5 times, after that they quickly bend over for the balls, toss them up with the word "Salute!" Immediately bend over for the next ball, again shout "Salute!" And so you can shout, tossing balls, for a couple of minutes. Turn on a funny song, write down this funny congratulation for the family chronicle.

Mice and cat
While the music is playing, the mice run and dance, as soon as the music dies down, the leader - the cat goes hunting, and the mice should sit on a chair as quickly as possible. Who did not have time to sit down, becomes the leader along with the cat.

Gourmet competition
Each child in turn is blindfolded and asked to open his mouth. Then put a piece of fruit or berry in your mouth. The assortment should be varied - chocolate, bananas, marmalade, strawberries, oranges and more. The main condition is that the pieces should be small and put them in the child's mouth very carefully so that the child does not get scared and does not choke. The kid must determine by taste what it is. Find out in advance the dessert preferences of children and be sure to take into account the wishes of their parents. All those who guessed it correctly receive as a prize the same fruit or candy that they guessed.

Candy soup
This is a relay race. Bring two pots, place them on stools or just on the floor. Choose two participants, give each a ladle (from experience, five-year-olds are easier to handle than a spoon). Now, at a distance of 2-3 meters from the pots, fold 2 handfuls of sweets. You need to transfer one candy in a ladle. Try to help the laggard so that friendship wins and the children receive the same prizes.

Guess the beast
We blindfold the child. We give in hands a soft toy. You have to guess who it is. I advise you to introduce adults to this fun. Let them show that this is not a very serious task - you can joke, make assumptions for a long time and in the end call the hare a dragon. Children quickly adopt the style of comic guessing, laugh a lot. Prizes are a must for everyone!

Tower
For this game you will need wooden cubes, but more. Children take turns placing a cube on a cube. Thus, we get a high pyramid-turret. The player loses, after whose dice the tower still fails and falls.

Bee in a flower meadow
For this competition, mom needs to sew some floral hats. For example, from cotton wool - dandelion; blue satin - bell; from white chintz - chamomile; from red satin - a rose. The greatest work will be required to make a bee hat. The best thing for this is a deep knitted hat, sew on the wings and antennae on top. The hat must necessarily cover the eyes of the child. The game is built on the principle of blind man's buff. First, they put on a bee hat on the birthday man, unwind him and let him go in search of flowers. When a bee catches a flower, she must guess what kind of flower it is by the headdress. Then the bee and the caught flower change their caps. And again the bee drives.

Joint drawing
We divide the guests into two teams, each with a drawing paper with felt-tip pens / pencils. We set the theme of the picture. We set a time limit (for example, 5 minutes). On your marks! Based on the results of the competition, we award the team with the best drawing.

Matryoshka with gifts for the whole company
A few days before the celebration, take several boxes of different sizes and paint them with the children. Then put mementos for all the kids in the smallest box. Put a small box in a box of a slightly larger size, and so on, like a nesting doll, put all the boxes in the largest of them. On the appointed day of the celebration, seat all the children in a circle and, to the music, begin to hand over a huge matryoshka gift box. When the music stops, the child who at that moment has the box in his hands opens it and finds a smaller box there. The music sounds again and the children pass the next box in a circle until the music dies down. Thus, the game continues until the children get to the smallest gift box for the whole company.

Interesting birthday contests for children are an obligatory attribute of a modern holiday. Long gone are boring gatherings with eating cakes and not understanding what to do with their free time.

Many parents invite friends to the birthday boy, strive to bring a touch of creativity to the children's holiday. To help moms and dads - advice on organizing a celebration, a description of birthday contests for boys and girls, for toddlers and older children.

What kind of contests can be arranged? How to get kids interested?

Professional animators give advice:

• take into account the age of the guests, select tasks that the birthday boy and friends can easily cope with;
• prepare more props: children love to dress up, change clothes, paint, turn into fairy-tale heroes;
• alternate calm activities with fun relay races;
• find out more about the friends of your son or daughter, ask about their preferences;
• a safe bet - a themed party with original costumes;
• refuse contests in which the participants will feel uncomfortable (humiliated). Do not allow the competition results to create a division between stupid and smart, quiet and activists, inept and jack of all trades. Entertainment should evoke joy, laughter, not ridicule;
• prepare prizes. The main thing is attention, not the price of the gift. The reward must be age appropriate;
• think over two or three contests in which there are no winners: all children receive gifts for participation. A prerequisite for babies aged 3-4 years;
• invite all young guests to participate;
• prepare a script, write the names of the competitions on the sheet, a short description so that you can easily navigate which task to offer;
• design entertainment based on the size of the room. If there is not too much space, if possible, remove excess furniture, unnecessary things, fragile decor on the day of the holiday. It is easier to hold sports competitions in a large room: use this advantage.

Advice! Be sure to consult with your child. Of course, the holiday should be a surprise, but many children are happy to participate in organizing the celebration, offering interesting solutions. Jointly make props, think over contests. Don't scoff if your child's sentences seem naive or too simple. If your son or daughter is sure that friends will be delighted, include the task in the list.

Broken phone

The more participants, the more unexpected the result, the more fun. Remember the essence: the leader quietly calls the word to the first of the children, he speaks the word to the second in the ear, then to the third, until he reaches the last participant. It is important to speak quickly, not to delay the line, not to pronounce every syllable perfectly.

Most often, the word is mutated beyond recognition. The funniest results are if a word of 2–4 syllables is not very “simple”, for example, Murzilka, Crocodile, Businka.
