Every child is waiting for a true fairy tale from a favorite holiday in the year - Birthday. To help make this day all kinds of games and entertainment will be unforgettable. In order to correctly choose a holiday program, you, in the first place, need to ask your child about the friends he is going to invite. Let him tell about their age, what games they play, when they get together, what cartoons they like to watch. All this you will certainly be useful in planning the holiday. Remember, do not expect from children that they will all play together in the games you offer, because children are different, both funny and mobile, and shy and self-contained.
To entertain little fidgets, you can use tricks. Make, for example, a themed Birthday, and the theme will be magic and tricks. Let each guest come with a deliberately prepared focus (arrange with the parents, let them help the young wizard prepare), arrange competitions, whose focus will be better. Decorate the walls with foil stars and cute bats, turn on Harry Potter's DVD, and let the birthday boy be dressed like a real magician.
Foci conveniently displayed in a dimly lit room. Be sure to take care of the attributes of the presentation: a dark screen, a magic wand, shawls, stands. To create a mysterious atmosphere, cover the table lamp with a colored handkerchief.
Magic Broom Focus
Sew one end of a thin black thread to the clothes, and at the other end make a loop. Demonstrate to the young spectators a broom (at the worst, let it be a broom), let it be convinced that it is the most that is ordinary, then uttering various invented incantations, imperceptibly put a loop on the broom handle and here the broom, without falling, froze in the air. The children are delighted, the magic has come to pass.
Competitions
Children also have a spirit of competition, so you can help to find a solution in the question of how to entertain children at a birthday, competitions will help you. Do not forget to prepare prizes for the winners. Comforting prizes are also mandatory - there should not be losers on the birthday.
Competition "Princess on a pea"
For the competition you will need chairs, tight opaque scarves and walnuts. Arrange in a row for each participant on the chair. So that girls do not see, put on each seat nuts (1 to 3), cover with kerchiefs. Further participants, each sitting on his chair, must guess how many nuts under it lie. Answered correctly, proclaimed princess and awarded.
Competition "Knight and Fool"
For the contest you will need a toy sword (preferably wooden or plastic) and a stopwatch (you can watch with a dial). Each participant takes turns in the middle, takes up the sword and holds it in a horizontal position, while the rest of the children try to make him laugh, curling and making funny faces. The boy who lasts the longest laughing, but does not lower his sword - wins.
Competition with a gift
To the horizontally tied rope hang on a thread wrapped in foil or paper small gifts ("kinder" - ideally suited). We tie the children's eyes with a handkerchief and let everyone take a prize in turn.
Necessarily, on a children's birthday, quiet games should alternate with moving ones. Before inviting children to a festive table, it is best to entertain them with moderate quiet games, for it will be hard to put children into a frenzy and put everyone at the table and monitor everything. At best, you are threatened with cups and glasses knocked over the tablecloth.
All sorts of ways how to entertain children on the birthday is very much, the main thing is to connect the imagination and desire. Hide and Seek (if your apartment allows), playing a blind cat, contests for the best rhyme (song, drawing), show-off (crocodile), whoever squeezes orange juice into the glass, hide the toy in the apartment, and whoever finds it will get it For a present.
In attempts to entertain children, do not forget about precautions, the fewer children by age, the more responsibility you need to approach the planning of the holiday. Games should be held under the constant supervision of adults.
