In any case, prepare for such a holiday should be with the participation of the originator of the celebration. You can start with inventing the theme of the holiday, for example, the characters from the Disney cartoons. The theme of a favorite cartoon or movie for a child's birthday is good.
Which games to choose
The child himself must choose games for his Birthday. There are categories of games that will make the holiday fun and unforgettable, but there are, which can kill any fun. On this mandatory clarify whether your child likes the proposed games, because he knows better that can cheer his friends. If the games do not like, then simply delete them from the list. At the festival, you can also use developing toys.
Watch the children. If a game is not liked or passive, then immediately stop playing it and go to another game on the list. So the children's mood will not have time to spoil.
Be ready. All games must be fully prepared for the holiday. Make sure you know how to play this or that game.
There should not be losers. Everyone should have fun at the feast. Does your plan include that every participant in the celebration should go home with a smile? Then such a concept as a loser should not have a place on the holiday. If you somehow encourage the winner, then the other participants need to give small prizes too, for example, for candy. And at the end of the holiday, always give each little guest a package of sweets.
List of popular games and entertainment for children on birthdays
Catch the ball. Children who take part in the game, become in a circle and are considered. The player whose number is the maximum goes to the center of the circle and a ball is given to him, he becomes the lead. Throwing a ball, the presenter calls the number, and the participant with this number should catch the ball. If the participant has caught the ball, then the presenter repeats this procedure with a different number and participant, but if the ball is not caught, then the player who has not managed to catch the ball becomes the lead.
Hit the mark. Each participant is given one ball. A poster with a marking and a designated center is hung on one of the walls of the room. Buttons or small needles are stuck in the poster on the reverse side. A line is marked with which the participants of the game must hit the target. Children puff balls, and, without tying a ball, try to hit the target. The closer the hit to the goal, the more the player gets points. For this fun on your kid's birthday, it's recommended to share on the team, and determine for each team its own color ball.
"Who am I?" When the children come to visit you, attach them to your back with a picture of an animal or an object and ask each other questions that you can only answer "yes" or "no" in order to find out who the same is drawn in the picture. Suggest to ask the first question "Am I an animal or an object?" When the celebration comes to an end, build the children in a row and ask them what is still painted on their backs. Variants of images in the drawings can be a horse, cow, duck, train, etc.
«Fruit basket». Count how many players there will be, and put in the middle of the room the number of chairs, one less than the number of children. One of the participants becomes in the center and tells the rest "I thank you for ..." (for example, for white socks), and children with white socks should exchange places among themselves. Those who did not sit down, drop out of the game, and the last who managed to find a loose chair, stands in the center and says further "I'm grateful for ...". With a decrease in participants, the number of chairs also decreases.
"Freezing". Put some music, under which all the children will dance. And then you need to freeze in the position in which they were at the time of stopping the sound of music. Any participant who will continue to dance after the music has stopped or, if he has not managed to stay in the same position, is out of the game. The last one who has not left the game wins.
"Imagine how much?" Add a jar or other dish with sweets, balls, or other small items to the room, and ask the kids to guess how many items in the pot. The winner is the one who guesses the number or calls the number closest to the number of objects in the vessel.
