For the successful entertainment of children of years, you can use various games or competitions. These types of fun have proven themselves well during birthday celebrations or New Year's Eve. There are fun competitions for children aged 11-12 and entertainment, regardless of the number of people who want to participate.

The advantages of holding competitions and gaming fun is that, first of all, children develop in the game mode, they will not get bored and funny moments can be remembered for a lifetime. It is important to choose the right contest or game, taking into account the age of the participants.

Where to begin?

Before holding competitions, it is advised to prepare everything in advance, paying attention to safety precautions, since during games or competitions children will run, jump, or crawl on their knees. For entertainment at home, you will need to do the following:

1. Make room for fun and gaming programs. To do this, it is worth pushing mobile furniture.
2. In advance, to hide the sharp objects present and the existing furniture corners should be made with something soft.
3. Remove glassware that is at risk from accidental shock.
4. Some attentive owners even remove the chandelier, children at this age are mobile.

If the entertainment program is held in places specially created for this, then such problems are excluded, since everything has already been thought out in advance. If it's a summer day outside, most contests can be held outside.

The games themselves should not tire young dreamers, as fun can turn into boring and silent gatherings.

In order to diversify a birthday or other holiday, there is a special selection of games in the form of contests for both boys and girls.

It is important to consider certain nuances of age

If a child is 11-12 years old, they are no longer the kids they were before, but older. They will no longer be interested in simple fun contests. The program should be more carefully thought out, especially when the holiday will be held at home.

At this age, children consider themselves adults. And entertainment for a younger age may not interest them. These factors should be considered before selecting recreational activities for teenagers.

Who is faster "One, two, three"

Almost everyone can participate in such fun. To hold it, you will need to purchase and prepare a certain number of small surprises in advance, in the form of souvenirs.

This competition requires a facilitator (adult) to lead the entire event. All children participating in the entertainment should stand in a circle. When the music is turned on, the movement of the children participating in the entertainment begins in a circle. The host places a souvenir (gift) in the center of the circle.

During the circular movement of children, the toastmaster calls different numbers, the children should not react to this, but when they hear the words: “one, two, three! ”, then they will have to try to take the souvenir.

The competition can be held a certain number of times, depending on the bags with prepared gifts. By the way, the child who received the gift leaves the circle to give others the opportunity to receive gifts.

golden goose

The competition in question is more practical to hold on a birthday. Participants stand in a circle, and each of them tells his neighbor the name of the body part to which he should “stick” to the next neighbor.

An example would be such expressions: "right hand", "left knee", "nose", "back", "ear", "left heel" and so on. All participants in turn take on the indicated places and in such poses you need to shout the phrase “congratulations!” three times. The main condition is to make sure that no one falls. This cheerful beginning perfectly helps to liberate even the most gloomy participants.

Jar of sardines

Wishing participants are divided in advance into groups of equal size. They must choose their catcher. He is given an elastic band, it must be tied in the form of a ring. Its size should depend on the number of participants in one group.

Participants (“sardines”) are asked to take their seats in a designated area of ​​the virtual pond. At the beginning of the game, the catcher must put the rubber ring on the first player, then move to the other player and do the same. The action is repeated until all the "sardines" are caught. The winner is the one who can quickly collect all the members of the team into a rubber band (“net”).

Barrier dance

The game is divided into two stages. This is a fun number for both children and adults.

A rope is pulled, it should be located at a height of about 1 meter, and the other - 50 cm from the floor surface. The location can not be made clearly one thread above the other. If the apartment is small, then two people will be required to hold the ends of the rope with their hands.

After turning on dance music, it is better to turn on cheerful music. Under it, several participants will have to step over the lower rope and crawl under the upper one. If the number of guests is small, then it can be more practical to make this “competition” in several circles.

In the second stage, the participants are blindfolded, they have to overcome the lower and upper obstacles blindly. At the beginning, when the music turns on, you need to quietly remove the ropes and watch the participants - it will be fun and the joke will cheer everyone up.

Contest "Occupy the house"

To participate, you need to recruit volunteers and divide them into two parts. These will be teams that compete with each other. To carry out the necessary event, you will need to put an easel with a placed drawing paper, it is recommended to draw houses on it that have windows and doors.

The task of the participants is that they draw the silhouettes of people living in the house. You can use the example that the facilitator should show at the beginning so that the participants know how to draw little men correctly.

After the “start”, each participant in the competition must pick up a pencil and, running up to his easel, quickly draw a silhouette of a small person (in the doors or windows) and return to his old place, passing the pencil to the next participant. This game has 3 minutes.

Those participants who draw more people in the time allotted will win.

frozen artist

During this competition, the host asks two people to participate. They will have to show their drawing skills with felt-tip pens, but it is not necessary to draw at all. Those who volunteered prepare a felt-tip pen for drawing and freeze in one place in a motionless pose.

Next, two more participants are called. They are given an album sheet, previously attached to a more solid base in the form of cardboard (for convenience during the competition). The meaning of the game is that some hold the felt-tip pens, while others begin to draw on the leaf, only moving the leaves themselves.

Those present order two drawings for each couple, for example, to depict a birthday man or his house, depending on the fantasy. Both couples are trying to draw more clearly what was asked. The competition is very funny.

How to dress blind?

Couples are invited to join. Children receive packages with clothes. But it is pre-prepared in large sizes. This is necessary for more free dressing.

Next, one participant is blindfolded in each pair. His task will be to pull out the clothes that are in the bag and put them on the partner. The contestant who is dressing should not provide any clues.

Approximately 3 minutes are allocated for the prompts. During the allotted time, you should try to put on as many clothes as possible. The couple that wears the most clothes wins.

Mitten

In the central part of the room where the competition is held, a large box is placed. It should have simple mittens.

A couple of volunteers are invited to participate. They should become in a circle and when the music turns on, start moving in a circle. After the music abruptly turns off, you need to quickly run up to a large box and put on a pair of mittens. The bottom line is that each contestant has a pair of mittens in the box, and one has only one mitten.

When, after putting on mittens, it turns out that someone did not get a pair, the participant should leave the circle and take one mitten from someone. The mittens are put back into the box, and the contestants stand in a circle, and the music turns on ... The winner goes to the one who grabs the last mitten.

Summarizing

It is important to understand that no fun will go smoothly and fun without games or contests. Children have always liked competitions, and they will be happy to take part in the games. The main condition is the correct selection, depending on the age of the guests.

Before everything, it is worth studying the information, connecting the initiative and imagination. As a result, you can get a solution to all issues that children will happily appreciate. It is important to consider the place where the games will be held, as well as the time of year, there is a difference when it is June or November outside.

You can prepare several playing contests in advance, excluding pauses. It is worth noting that during the preparation for the games and fun, a lot of consumables will not be required. A holiday that is made with the help of one's own strength looks exciting and interesting.

These competitions will help educators and parents to entertain children. They can be carried out in the classroom, festive events, at home, on the street.

If one of the players witnesses the “murder”, he has the right to say it out loud, at this moment the game stops (that is, the sniper cannot kill anyone), and the players find out if there are any more witnesses. If not, the game continues, and if there is, the angry players lynch the suspect, taking the match away from him and thus finding out if they made a mistake. The task of the sniper is to shoot everyone before he is exposed, the task of everyone else is to expose the sniper until he shoots everyone.

Chinese football

The players stand in a circle facing outward, with their feet shoulder-width apart, so that each foot stands close to the neighbor's symmetrical foot. Inside the circle there is a ball that the players try to score into each other's goal (that is, roll the ball between their legs with their hands). The one between whose legs the ball rolls removes one hand, after the second goal - the second, and after the third - leaves the game.

Aram-shim-shim

The players stand in a circle, alternating by gender (that is, a boy-girl-boy-girl, and so on), in the center is the driver. The players rhythmically clap their hands and say the following words in chorus: “Aram-shim-shim, aram-shim-shim, Arameya-Zufiya, show me! And once! And two! And three! ”, At this time, the leader, closing his eyes and pointing forward with his hands, rotates in place, when the text ends, he stops and opens his eyes. The representative of the opposite sex closest in the direction of rotation to the place shown by him also goes to the center, where they stand back to back. Then everyone else clap their hands again, saying in chorus: “And once! And two! And three!". On the count of three, those standing in the center turn their heads to the sides. If they looked in different directions, then the driver kisses (usually on the cheek), the one who left, if in one direction, they shake hands. After that, the driver stands in a circle, and the one who leaves becomes the driver.
There is also a version of the game in which for the representatives of the stronger sex, spinning in the center, the words “Aram-shim-shim, ...” are replaced by “Wider, wider, wider circle! He has seven hundred girlfriends! This one, this one, this one, this one, and this one’s beloved!”, although in general it doesn’t matter.
When playing the game at a younger age, it makes sense to replace kisses with scary faces that the two in the center make each other.

And I'm going

The players stand in a circle facing inward. One of the seats remains free. The one who is standing to the right of the free space says loudly “And I'm going!” and goes to it. The next one (that is, the one who is now standing to the right of the empty seat) says loudly “Me too!” and goes to it, the next one says “And I'm a hare!” and also occupies a place on the right. The next one, passing, says “And I'm with ...”, and calls someone from those standing in a circle. The task of the one who was called to run across to an empty seat.

One - knee, two - knee

The next birthday of the child is approaching, and mothers go headlong into the worries of organizing and preparing a festive celebration. They think how to make this day unusual and memorable. The children grew up, it became more and more difficult to guess their desires and dreams, to predict what they would like.

In order for everything to go well, you need to remember the four components of the celebration: invitations, decorating the apartment, treats and games and entertainment for children.

In these circumstances, the surest and most reliable way is to give the child complete freedom. Whether it's choosing an entertainment club, compiling a guest list, a festive menu. The child will see that his parents take him seriously, consider him an adult and independent.

The first is the mysterious invitations.
A week before the solemn event, the child makes a list of guests and prepares invitations, which indicate that the visitor should be prepared for surprises and surprises, so he needs to wear something comfortable and light.
Part of the words can be written with milk or lemon juice, and in the note to the letter, note how you can read the invisible part of the message (heating over an ordinary lamp).

The second is the decoration of the apartment.
You will need a festive ribbon and balloons or rope, old magazines, colored paper, scissors, tape, glue, paints, felt-tip pens and children's birthday photos. Every home has one of the above. Put all this in several bags and hide them in different places of the apartment. For example, in the bathroom, on the refrigerator, under the table and on the windowsill.

The third is food.
Prepare a birthday cake (or buy brownies) and candles. Make a fruit salad out of the fruits you have at home. The children will take care of the rest.

Fourth - the script of the holiday.
Once the guests have arrived, give them a prompt card or verbally tell them to:
look under where they swim and relax;
look from above at something big that stands, makes noise, stores food in itself;
check where the yard is visible from and where there is glass;
look under what we sit and write letters.
In the agreed places, the children will find packages with items to decorate the apartment and instructions: “Draw a poster dedicated to the newborn from everything available and make a garland of balloons or flags under the ceiling.”
In addition to the garland, children can build caps, masks, butterflies, colored paper bows that will give them a festive and unique look.
The only difficulty can cause the fixing of the garland. Here you can not do without the help of adults.
The more specific you set the task for the children, the fewer questions they will ask you in the course of their activities.

After that, the guys are refreshed with a fruit treat and at the bottom of the salad bowl they find the next clue card.

They must follow dad, who left the house 5 minutes ago and turned right, catch up with him and find out, by asking leading questions, what secret he is hiding. Dad waits for the kids to get dressed so they don't lose sight of him.

The father of the family goes to the store to buy a treat. But since we have a day of independent decisions, the choice of food and drinks for the feast is provided to the birthday man and guests. The only condition is that they have 15 minutes for this and they must decide in advance by a general vote what they will buy.

Returning home, the participants of the festive celebration set the table and settle down along its perimeter. During the feast, children can write and send letters through a specially organized post office.

A letter box can be an ordinary potholder in the form of a mitten or a souvenir box with a slot on the lid.

During the meal, you can hold a competition for the most original congratulations, the most difficult riddle, the funniest anecdote, guess drinks or food with your eyes closed, and show card tricks.

"Record breakers".
In a series of competitions, children determine the leader in one category or another. They reveal who will jump higher and further, who will stand on one leg longer, who will be able to hold a pencil between his nose and lip, who is the strongest (with the help of arm wrestling), whose piece of paper will fly farther from one breath, who has the largest leg, palm, who has the longest hair, who can unmistakably pronounce the tongue twister “Karl stole corals from Clara, and Clara stole the clarinet from Karl” for the longest time.
The game "Make the birthday man laugh"- a fun five-minute game that will cheer everyone up.
The birthday boy plays the role of Princess Nesmeyana, and the guests take turns trying to cheer him up. Do not be alarmed if everything ends with the birthday boy being thrown to the floor and tickled. It will give everyone great pleasure.

Games and fun competitions will be a good addition to the festive celebration.

Competition "Weak".
One of the participants in the game asks the others: “Are you weak?”.
What follows is a description of the action to be taken.
For example, dance a lambada, sit on a twine, do somersaults, sing a ditty. The one who is not embarrassed and completes the task receives one point.
Parents count the points by dividing a piece of paper into columns according to the number of children and recording the results of each stage.
The game continues until the children get bored.

Game Crocodile.
One of the children or adults thinks of an animal, a proverb, the name of a movie, a fairy tale character or someone present and shows it to the others.
This must be done without words, facial expressions, gestures and actions.
The one who first guesses what the presenter depicts earns a bonus point.

"Tale in a new way".
You can continue the holiday with a home concert by inviting the children to choose from an envelope a card with the name of a famous fairy tale and its genre. For example, comedy, thriller, drama, thriller, melodrama, horror.
Parents help distribute roles, come up with a new development of the action and build a curtain from improvised means.

If among the children there are those who did not take a prize, they are awarded an award in the general category, for example, "The most charming", "The most magnificent smile", "The most modest", etc.

After a fun performance, the results of the holiday are summed up, all invitees are awarded prizes in different categories.

At the end of the holiday, each child receives the title of "Most ..." in one category or another.

The final chord of the celebration is a cake with candles.

If you look at the children's games, you can see that most of the children do not know how to organize their leisure time. Their street walk turns into mindless staggering or destructive behavior (sadistic animal experiments, fights). This is due to the fact that children do not know street games, they communicate more often in social networks, but when they meet they cannot organize their leisure time. We offer a variety of games and competitions for children 10 years old.

Games at school

Even in the lobby during the school recess, you can play the following games.

• "Bunny, bunny, what time is it?" The leader (hare) stands with his back to the players. Everyone in turn asks the time and adds: “I’m in a hurry for my birthday!” The hare calls any time. The player measures the steps (an hour is a big step, a minute is a simple step, a second is the length of the foot). For example, three hours, five minutes, three seconds means three large and five regular steps, three foot lengths (one and a half steps). Whoever reaches the hare first, touches it, takes its place. Everything starts over. This event diversifies children's competitions for the study of time and consolidates the terms.
• "Ring, ring, come out on the porch." Players stand or sit in a row with their arms extended forward (palms tightly closed in a boat). The host takes a “ring” (any small detail), which he must quietly place it from his “boat” into the player’s palm. He can pretend to put the ring in the player, hesitating. Then the host stands in the middle and asks the participant to leave with a ring. The task of the players is to catch the one with the ring. You can't hold hands. If the participant with the ring manages to jump out of the row without being caught, then he becomes the leader. If he is caught, then the game continues with the old leader.
• Sea battle. Participants draw a field (10x10 cells, indicated on the left by numbers, on top by letters) with one-, two-, three-, four-deck ships. The player calls the number and letter of the cell. Getting into the ship, continues the game; having missed, passes the move to the opponent. At the same time, he specifies whether he "killed" or "wounded."

road games

Such mobile thematic games will allow you to quickly consolidate the knowledge gained and diversify any school scenarios for children's competitions. They are especially relevant at extracurricular activities dedicated to the rules of the road.

Popular Games

Classics of the genre

On the street during school breaks, children prefer a variety of classics.

• Ordinary digital. Draw hopscotch up to ten. The player's task is to throw a pebble into the cell with a number, skip the hopscotch and pick up the chip on the way back. Crossing the lines is prohibited. As soon as the first level (from one to ten) is completed, the game starts with the next number (from two, three, four, etc.). A player who enters the line or does not hit the desired cell with a pebble passes the turn to another. The player who completes the most levels wins. To get a pebble into the cells with the number "nine" and "ten", it is allowed to step on the first square. And you can jump on them with a running start, also jumping on the first number. Sports competitions for elementary school children are not complete without classics, which are sewn from cellophane or fabric.
• Round digital. Draw a large circle, mark a small circle in it, from which you draw radii. Write numbers. The essence of the game is similar to the previous one. Jump from one number to another until you stand in the center. Jump difference. In the first variant, you jump alternately on one or the other leg. In the same game, you jump on two adjacent numbers. Then, when moving to another number, the left leg should be in the air. That is, the right one from the first digit goes to two, the left one is in the air, and then drops to three. The essence of the game is that you need to jump quickly and not step over the lines. Such warm-up games will add laughter and fun to intellectual contests for children 10 years old. The numbers can be replaced with thematic images.
• Verbal. Any version of the classics with a "roof" is drawn. Desires are written in each column (house, cottage, car, child, husband, voucher, etc.), “fire” is written on the roof. The player stands with his back to the line and throws a pebble, looks at what wealth has fallen, jumps and takes the chip on the way back. You can not go beyond the lines of the classics. If you fall into the "fire", then all wealth is burned. The richest one wins. Children after the first game can adjust the rules themselves, modifying them to suit their abilities.

Rope games

Popular games are rubber bands, skipping ropes. Both participants put on an elastic band on their legs. The third player jumps over it. After completing all the steps, it moves to a new level. To do this, the elastic band from the ankle is raised ten centimeters higher. This happens until the player gets tangled in the rubber band, makes a mistake or stumbles. Then the turn passes to another participant.

• Rose, birch. The host stands in the center of the circle, holds one edge of the rope, starts to twist it and says: “Rose, birch, lily, poppy, porridge, chamomile, scarlet flower” until some player stumbles. The one on which the word stopped is out of the game. Titles are initially distributed among the participants. Whoever is left wins. He becomes the leader. It is useful to “dilute” calm, intellectual or “sedentary” competitions at the birthday party of a 10-year-old child with these games.
• Salochki. Two players twist the rope, the third participant must jump and not hit it. Teachers use it in competitions, complicating the task. For example, while jumping, read a poem, sing or tell the multiplication table.
• Damn. Two people hold the rope at the level of the participant's chest. The player must pass without touching anything. Each time the rope is lowered lower and lower. The player who touches the line is out.

These children's competitions and games are suitable for home and school. They can be modified, added, altered to suit your subject or event.

Unusual contests

There are a lot of children's games. This does not require expensive attributes. For example, a twister can be drawn on the grass, a bowling alley can be made from plastic bottles and a ball, cards can be drawn on cardboard. The main thing is to think over the theme of the event, as well as alternate intellectual, calm and outdoor games. Then the participation of children in competitions will be more active.

Also, teenagers like to participate in games that are shown on TV (“Field of Miracles”, “Guess the Melody”, “Star Hour”, “One Hundred to One”). Questions are prepared according to the training course with additional information on the subject. When choosing games, you need to take into account the interests of adolescents. You can ask the leaders to help organize the event.
