Tips and Answers
Tip 1. If you plan to celebrate the child's birthday soon, then do not throw out now beautiful glossy magazines, boxes of candy. They will come very handy for organizing a children's holiday. From this beautiful material you can make original ornaments and props for games. Let's start with "invitations". You can paste pictures from magazines with colorful images, delicious dishes, festively dressed people on bright colored cardboard boxes. Even more interesting, if the invitation cards are different - each guest will get his own. The main thing - enter the name, where and when the celebration will take place.
Council 2. You can decorate not only the apartment, but also the entrance. Do not hesitate to hang up the entrance with bright balloons, posters "Welcome!", "We invite guests!". And at the entrance give out holiday caps-hats. They can be made from sheets of a dense glossy magazine, and the edge of the cap is decorated with a fringe of colored paper. Just do not forget to clean up after the holiday in the entrance. And then the neighbors are different ...
Tip 3. Children are very appreciated when the host of the holiday is also cheerfully dressed, clown, for example. It's good if it's the father of the child, or some of the older children, or close friends of adults. At the entrance, the presenter can guess the entered riddles or ask him to pronounce tongue twisters as a password. Here are some funny examples of "word expressions":
• Go beavers, beavers are kind.
• The cuckoo cuckoo bought a hood, put on a cuckoo hood, like in a hood he's funny.
• Four black dirty blackies drew a black ink drawing extremely clean.
Tip 4. After the introductory presentation, you can already invite the children to the table. It is good, if the one who will serve dishes, for example mum, will be dressed in the cook. Chef's cap and lace apron will make her a fairy-tale heroine!
Tip 5. Do not overfeed the children! Do not prepare too many dishes. Overfed children are sleepy children. A children's party should be fun and moving. To remember!
Variety in the menu
The menu should be varied, tasty, attractive. But not abundant. When planning a children's menu, there is a contradictory rule: better is more, but less. More - by the number of dishes, less - by the size of portions. Women will not be given advice - the landlady herself knows what to prepare. But we will give some original recipes to fathers, brothers or sisters, if they are responsible for organizing and holding a children's holiday:
The appetizer "Magic balls". On a dish to spread circles of canned pineapple, on each circle a ball, prepared from the following mass. The loaf should be cut into cubes and fried. Then chop the smoked chicken breast into cubes and mix with grated cheese. After filling with mayonnaise and mix well. In the final, make up the balls and put them into cooked pineapples. Lace adorn with greens.
Hot dish "Sorochi Nests". It will take: potatoes, minced meat and grated cheese. On the baking sheet, it is necessary to lay out the halves of the peeled potatoes, to take the middle from them. Then we'll have to put minced meat into this cavity and sprinkle with grated cheese mixed with mayonnaise. Bake in the oven. On the dish, we recommend first to spread the greens, and on top - potatoes.
Make funny sandwiches from bread, cheese, butter and sausage. Also on the table must be the fruit. They are not only tasty and vitaminized, but also contribute to digestion. When children eat hot, be sure to play. And then - a festive cake and, for example, ice cream, decorated with nuts, syrup and marmalade.
Cake "Hedgehog". A pack of butter should be melted in a bowl over low heat. Add there 500 grams of toffee candy, they also need to be melted. Now a large bundle of corn sticks (100 g) is poured into the melted mass. Thoroughly mix and spread on the dish. When the mass cools, form a nice "hedgehog" from her. Needles can be made from peanuts. Eyes, nose and mouth - from candies like "raisins in chocolate." And for freezing put in the refrigerator.
Funny Games
Without games, a children's holiday is like a New Year without a Christmas tree. It is the games that will leave in your memory the pleasant impressions of the holiday for many weeks. And maybe - and years. Try to make the holiday bright and memorable. And we tell the time-tested interesting games:
The game "I am Masha". We divide the children into two teams. We determine the distance and put a kerchief and an apron on the chair - and so two sets. It is necessary to run to the chair, wear an apron and a kerchief, then loudly say "I'm Masha!", All this off and go back to my team. The team that will cope faster wins.
The game "Who's more." We need to come up with as many synonyms as possible for verbs. For example, to the verb "to eat" you can choose synonyms "to shovel", "to crack", "to weave". It resembles the game "in the city". However, children in the names of cities are not yet strong. For adults, this game seems too simple - like solving crosswords. But children play it with pleasure - it promotes development and communication.
Game "Writers". We need to come up with a story where all the words begin with one letter. Two teams are chosen, and whoever will write a story longer will win. For example: Olya took a bite of a cucumber, lonely fell from the others. Adults are not allowed to be prompted! The game-contest will appeal to creatively gifted children.
The game "Pantomime". It's funny when the children are depicting something. You can write assignments, add these notes to the header, then take turns extracting and representing the written. Here are some interesting examples for imitation: a violinist who has a fly crawling over his forehead; trumpeter, whose trousers fall down; a pianist who suddenly had a stomach ache; bayan player, whose chewing gum sticks to his boot; guitarist, whose back was scuffling. We hope that your fantasy will not stop there.
The game "Karavai". Be sure to play this classic game. Everyone stands in a circle and sings: "As a machine (any name) birthday cakes we baked a loaf. That's the width (we show the width), here is such a dinner (we show), that's such a height (we show), that's such a nizhiny (all squat). "I love everyone, of course, but Sasha is more than anyone else!" And Sasha stands in the center of the dance with the birthday boy. And you can complicate the game and invite children to dance as a lunatic; or on one leg; or as old men. It will be fun!
The final advice: when the holiday is over, give all the children balloons for memory! Well, if you organize and hold a children's holiday, you will use our advice. However, do not completely copy them - you yourself can come up with something original and insanely interesting!
