A birthday scenario for kids might look something like this.
Leading(this could be mom or dad). Dear guys, well done for coming. Let's congratulate our birthday boy (name) on his birthday, he (she) turned (age) years old today!
Children join hands and the birthday boy stands in the center of the circle.
The children begin to dance in a round dance called “Loaf”.
As on (name of the birthday boy) name day
We baked a loaf
Such a height
That's how wide it is!
Loaf, loaf,
Whoever you want, choose!
Birthday boy. I love, of course, everyone, but (says the name of the guest opposite whom he stands) most of all!
The selected child stands in the center of the round dance, and the guys continue. It will be enough to repeat the game two or three times.
Leading. Guys, what is the most important treat at a birthday party?
Children. Cake!
Leading. That's right, a cake, but bad luck - Kashchei got into our house and hid the birthday cake somewhere. Let's find him, guys! Are you willing to help us?
Children. Yes!
Leading. And our cake is very close, close, but to find it, you need to read the note that Kashchei left for us as a hint so that we could go through the fairy tale! And as in any fairy tale, there are tests waiting for us that we need to pass!
The song “Visiting a Fairy Tale” plays.
Children. Yes!
The “Hike Song” from the film “The Adventures of Masha and Vitya” is playing.
Leading. Then let's see if you're ready!
Can you run? Show me how. What about jumping? On one leg? On two? How about shouting loudly? What about clapping? What about stomping? Do you know how to read? Then you are ready! Let's read the note. The note says: “Help Cinderella.”
The song is from the cartoon "Cinderella".
Leading. Children, what do you think could have happened to Cinderella? Maybe she lost something? Children. Shoe!
Leading. Then we need to help find her a second one.
Shall we help? Children. Yes!
First competition. Shoes cut out of cardboard are glued to a sheet of whatman paper. In the center of the Whatman paper there is a sample glued, according to which you need to find the second one. Next to each shoe there is a slot in which a note is inserted. It is clear that all the notes except one are empty.
After the desired shoe is found, the children read the note: “Look for the Snake.”
Leading. Children, do you know what kind of Snake we need to find? This is probably some kind of fairy tale hero...
Children. Dragon!
Leading. Let's look for him!
Second competition. On the wall in one of the rooms hang three interconnected balloons with a drawn dragon's face (nostrils and eyes).
Leading. And here comes the Serpent! Who here is not afraid of the beast and will fight the monster?
Children need to defeat the Snake using a toy sword. In one of the balls the guys find the following note: “Bird.”
Leading. Let's look for the bird. Look, the Eagle has flown to us! You need to fight him so that he gives the note.
Third competition. The picture with the Eagle is glued to the dartboard. Children need to hit it with a dart three times, then from behind the dart they get a note: “Fish.”
Leading. Now you need to catch fish to find the next note. But the path to the river is not easy, you need to walk on pebbles.
Competition Four. “Pebbles” are laid out on the floor in the room, along which children need to get to the “river” (this can be a simple bowl of water) and catch fish with a fishing rod (a stick with a magnet at the end). Fish can be made from colored paper by connecting the halves using two buttons, which will be the eyes of the fish. The buttons are inserted into each other with a point that is bent using pliers.
There is a note hidden in one of the fish: “Egg.”
Leading. Now we need to find some kind of egg. Who can help us with this? Hero of which fairy tale?
Children. Chicken Ryaba!
Leading. Then let's look for her.
Where does our hen sit and guard her eggs?
Fifth competition. The soft toy Ryaba Hen sits in a basket filled with golden eggs (these could be Kinder surprise boxes painted gold acrylic paint, or just yellow boxes), in one of them there is a note: “Chest.”
Leading. Where is Kashchei's chest? Let's look!
Competition sixth. Children find a toy chest, next to which there are many keys. Children need to choose the right key to open the chest. Inside the chest they find a note: "Cold." The word can be written on silver foil, which must be twisted into a needle shape.
Leading. But not on North Pole Should we go with you? Where can it be cold here? Let's think...
The host (father, mother, grandmother or grandfather) announces to each child who comes to visit that entry is by password only. If you have time, come up with a “ceremonial gate” to pass through. It could be just a doorway to a room, decorated with balls or flowers from corrugated paper. Or you can come up with a narrow and low hole between two chairs. Decorate them too with balls or soft toys.
The password can be written in advance in the invitation. If you didn't give them out, just teach the guest from front door: “Woof-woof, meow-meow, happy birthday.” For many, the end of the phrase sounds “congratulations”.
Fireworks in honor of the birthday boy
Our birthday boy is 5 years old, so we will clap exactly five times. All children stand in a circle. Throw a lot of colorful balloons inside the children's circle. At the leader’s command, the children clap their hands 5 times, then quickly bend over to pick up the balls and throw them up with the word “Salute!” They immediately bend down for the next ball and again shout “Salute!” And you can shout like this while throwing balls for a couple of minutes. Play a funny song and write down this funny greeting for your family chronicle.
finger tree
To make your child’s 5th birthday memorable for a long time, I suggest making a painting “The Magic Tree” with finger paints. It is advisable, of course, that each guest has his own color. There are as many fingers on the hand as the age of our hero of the occasion, so we will dip each finger in paint. I took the idea from a wedding tradition, you can see how beautiful the tree with finger leaves looks. Such a panel may well decorate a child’s room for many years to come.
Use a pen to sign the names of the guests. Now is the time to wash your hands before treating yourself! We all go to the bathroom.
Journey
It is not recommended to play active games immediately after eating, so let’s do a giant applique. Place rolled paper or scrap wallpaper on the floor (pattern down). Cut out clouds, sun, trees, flowers, mountains, sea, fish, etc. from colored paper in advance. We will also need types of transport in which we will send the birthday boy on a trip: a car, an airplane, a hot air balloon, a boat, an elephant. If you also print and cut out a round portrait of the child, that would be absolutely wonderful.
Together with the children, lay out the applique, come up with a trip together, and glue the figures using a glue stick.
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-old children can handle it easier than a spoon). Now, at a distance of 2-3 meters from the pans, place 2 handfuls of candies. You need to transfer one candy in a ladle. Try to help the one lagging behind so that friendship wins and the children receive the same prizes.
Guess the beast
We blindfold the child. We give you a soft toy. You need to guess who it is. I advise you to involve adults in 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 and laugh a lot. Prizes for everyone are a must!
Cold-hot
The most common game with searching for a hidden toy. The children leave the room, the leader hides the bear and calls everyone back into the room. According to the words “cold-warm-hot” children understand where to look. Children as young as 5 years old find this game very mysterious.
Seven-flowered flower
While the children are eating the cake, we tell them the fairy tale “The Little Flower of Seven Flowers.” Not everyone remembers the plot and moral of Valentin Kataev’s work; they listen with great pleasure. Now we take out our flower. It is not necessary to make a leg for him, it is difficult. You can use a ball mount. Your seven-flowered flower should have multi-colored petals. Before saying goodbye, we ask guests to tear off a petal and wish our birthday boy something really important. Get the adults involved, they already know what to say.
Disco
Music from “Barbariki” or “Multconcert” will do. If the kids are tired, at the end of the holiday, arrange to watch your favorite cartoons together - this is always a success.

Animators recommend holding birthday competitions for older schoolchildren at the height of the holiday, when all the children have already met and got used to it, and their stiffness and shyness have subsided. But how can you get them to get to know each other faster? In this case, the “Dating” competition will help. With its help, guests will relax and get used to the new environment, especially if not all the invited children know each other well, because often the birthday boy invites both friends from the yard and classmates.
A simple task will help the kids get to know each other. The host of the competition asks children wearing red to tell a little about themselves. After this, it is the turn of the children with yellow, blue, green etc. As a result, each child will have the opportunity to introduce himself to the others and say a few phrases. It is important not to forget any of the guests so as not to offend anyone.
An unprecedented beast

The presenter must come up with questions in advance about fantastic beasts that don’t actually exist. Children must use their imagination, come up with a description of the animal, its voice, and, if desired, draw it. Children with great pleasure liberate their imagination and let themselves fantasize.

- How many wings does a flying worm have?
- How many paws does an accountant dog have?

Broken phone
Funny children's competitions at home can be repeated as adult fun, such as the classic game of broken phone. It can be offered for children over 5 years old, and the more participants there are, the more the result will be distorted, which is always fun.
The children are lined up in a chain, and the leader says a word in the ear of the first one. He must convey what he heard in the same way to his neighbor, who then goes even further, and so on until the end of the chain. The transmission of the message must be fast so that more distortion creeps into it. Very often the original word is transformed into something completely different. It is advisable not to select too much short words, which contain 3-4 syllables.
Miracle chamomile
This competition is designed for the birthday of a 6 year old child. You need to make a large flower in advance and write a funny task on each of its petals: crow, portray one of the animals or your favorite singer, sing to the musical accompaniment of rattles, drums or spoons. Each contestant must be awarded a prize.
Funny answers
This competition is suitable for children of the same age. Here you need to prepare sheets on which to write “shop”, “school”, “disco”, “stadium”, “cinema”, “bowling club”, “ desert island" You can use another set: “luna park”, “cinema”, “zoo”, “pool”, “ tall tree», « spaceship"or come up with something else. The more such cards are invented, the better.
At the beginning of the game, the presenter invites one of the participants to sit on a chair, turning his back to the others. Then the host takes out the first sheet, shows the guests what is written there, and asks the participant what he is doing in this place. Chaotic answers amuse children a lot. Then you can change the player and repeat the procedure. When the participants in the game are somewhat tired of this competition (which the host usually feels), then this fun can be stopped.
Young talent
For children over 6 years old, fun competitions at a children's birthday party may be suitable, where they can show their imagination and creativity. In this case, you will need a sheet of Whatman paper and a bright felt-tip pen. The presenter invites the children to draw someone, and they can choose the object themselves, usually a cat, a hare, a bear, a man or a cartoon character. There is no need to force your candidacy on them. But you need to draw with your eyes closed and not peep.
So, one by one, the leader leads the children to whatman paper, where each of them must draw one detail of the drawing: the first - the head, the second - the body, the third - the paws, etc. In the process of drawing, the children are well involved in the action and forget about boredom. It doesn’t matter if the head turns out to be to the side of the body, and the ear grows out of the tail - but the animal will turn out to be unprecedented! Having drawn 2-3 of these monsters together, children can switch to new entertainment.
Fun flight
This competition is intended for the birthday of a child 7 years old and older. To carry it out you will need a balloon and a scarf made of thick fabric. The presenter lowers the ball onto an empty table, brings the player to it, allowing him to remember the location of the ball on the table. After this, he takes him a few steps away from the table, blindfolds him and turns him around his axis several times (making sure that the child does not get dizzy). After that, he announces the task - to blow the ball off the table. After spinning, the child becomes disoriented in space and begins to blow in any direction, although there is no ball there at all. From the outside it looks funny, but it’s not offensive to the player himself.
Mobile competitions
Towns
You need to place several objects on the floor (balls, pins, cubes), and you can use an empty plastic bottle, which needs to contrive and hit the placed objects. It is better to arrange entertainment in a spacious room, in which you need to remove everything unnecessary from the floor so that in the heat of play the children do not crush the excess.
Guess the animal
This game can be played by children 6-7 years old. They need to be divided into two teams. Each team writes the name of the intended animal on a sheet of paper and passes the sheet to the presenter so that the opponents do not see the inscription. Then one team, using facial expressions, gait, gestures, but silently, tries to portray their animal, and their opponents must guess what kind of animal it is. At the end of the game, you need to reward all the players with prizes: those who couldn’t guess correctly will get a piece of candy, and the winners will get something more substantial from the sweets. Adults can adjust the choice of animal depicted so that it is not too difficult to guess.
Catch the Tail
Active competitions for children over 6 years old are very popular. For this fun you need a spacious room. Adults tie a string to the belt of each child, at the end of which there is a bow or a scarf with a pompom. When everything is ready, the music turns on and the participants in the game begin to chase each other, trying to catch the “tail” of the opponent. The most clever one gets a sweet prize.
Finish line
All participants need to be divided into pairs. One of the pair needs to be seated at the end of the room and improvised barriers placed in front of him: a stretched rubber band, bottles, stools. The second participant of the pair must, blindfolded, overcome all these obstacles and get to his partner, following his verbal prompts, informing him where to turn, how many steps to take and turn again, etc. The second participant must be turned around his axis several times before the start of the relay race to initially disorient. The winner is the one who reunites with his partner the fastest.
