golden goose
The name seems to be related to an old fairy tale in which everyone was glued to each other (the first one in the chain had a magic goose). Guests need to be put in a circle and asked to name some part of the body: “right knee”, “left heel”, “nose”, “chin”, “back”, “nape”. After that, at the expense of THREE, you need to stick to the neighbor on the right with this particular part. The place of gluing does not matter, as long as it does not fall.
In this form, everyone should shout “Congratulations!” three times. A fun start to the holiday, helps to quickly liberate.
Fun photo shoot with a mustache
I like this activity because the photos always turn out funny, and people pose much more artistically. Fake mustaches, beards and crowns can be made from colored cardboard.
Obstacle dance
First stage. We pull one rope at a height of 1 meter, and the other at a height of 50 cm from the floor. You can move a little, not one above the other. As a rule, there is nowhere to tie in the apartment, you have to hold the ends of the upper and lower ropes in your right and left hands.
Now we turn on dance music (fast latin is better) and ask the bottom rope to step over, and crawl under the top one. If there are few guests, several dance circles.
Second phase. We tightly blindfold two participants, ask them to overcome obstacles. We quietly remove the ropes ... it remains to observe the efforts of careful dancers.
frozen artist
Presenter: "We need two people who draw well." He gives them each a felt-tip pen: “Only today you won’t need it, I’ll bewitch you. Imagine that there is an invisible sheet of paper in front of you, prepare a felt-tip pen and ... freeze!
We call the other two participants, to whom we give a landscape sheet in their hands (it is better to attach it to a solid base). The point is that the artists with felt-tip pens stand still, and their assistants move the sheet along the tip of the felt-tip pen, trying to capture a drawing that everyone understands. It can be a portrait of a birthday person, a birthday cake with candles, just a house with a tree and the sun. Everything is fun, try it!
Siamese twins
On the cards you need to write some part of the body, call all the guests and build them in pairs. Each couple draws a card and sticks it with the part of the body that fell out to them, like Siamese twins. Noses, heels, nape, elbows, knees, backs. Now you need to tie a handkerchief to each other. Let one couple do it, the rest just watch. The one with the most difficult situation wins. Try to put a handkerchief on the "twin" if you are glued with your backs ...
What did you do there?
The game is equally fun for both children and adults, since it’s hard to come up with something more fun than random coincidences of questions and answers.
We write on the tablets:"Dentist's Office", "Director's Office", "Toilet", "Bathhouse", "Bakery", "Cinema", "Post Office", "Park", "Zoo", "Theater", "Hairdressing Salon", "Basement" , "Construction", "Kindergarten", "Pension Fund", "Desert Island", "Fitness Club".
The player stands with his back to the guests, the host puts a sign with one of these inscriptions on his back. The guests know what they are talking about, and the “lucky one” answers at random. Players can be changed. Here is a sample list of questions (you can not answer "yes" or "no"):
- Do you often go there? (Every Friday, three times a week, rarely but with pleasure)
- Do you like this place? (It can be better, I'm not sure yet)
- Who do you usually go there with?
- Which famous person would you like to meet there?
- What do you usually take with you there? Name three things.
- What do you usually do there?
- Why did you choose this place?
We change the plate and the player. It's fun when they go to kindergarten once a month with Alla Pugacheva, take a laptop and a toothbrush with them, do ballet there or eat pizza)
downed pilots
I somehow held this game on February 23 at school, but all the spectators were so carried away that I boldly propose to organize it at a birthday party. Oddly enough, it's fun.
We make 5-6 paper airplanes, and put 20 pieces of paper lumps in a basket. One person launches airplanes (choose the longest side in the room), everyone else tries to shoot down flying airplanes. If this is a competition to determine the winner, we give 5 attempts to each.
Defile
It can be held at the moment when you want to invite guests to the table. Build them against the opposite wall and solemnly announce (there is no need to distribute roles in advance): “They arrived at the gala dinner: a famous yogi, a dancer from the east, Baba Yaga, a fairy Princess, an ogre, a Shusher rat, a ballerina from the Bolshoi Theater, a one-legged Pirate, the President of Russia , bodybuilding champion, famous supermodel (actress), baby who learned to walk today.
All guests need to walk a few steps in character and sit down at the table.
Unlucky Sculptor
You don’t need to tell anyone the name of the competition in advance, otherwise the meaning will become clear, and we don’t need this. All guests must go to another room, only the host and three players remain. You appoint one sculptor and ask him to put the other two in the most uncomfortable positions. For example, let the first one freeze, pushing himself off the floor in the top position, and the second one will sit on his back, clasping his hands behind him in the castle. And now the presenter changes the one who has the hardest time in the new sculpture to the sculptor himself. Since he himself came up with torture for others, take the rap :-).
Now you can start one new player from another room. Now it's the sculptor who must examine the previous strange statue and create his new one, again coming up with complex poses. We repeat everything, the sculptor takes the place of the victim himself. It's always funny, try it! Naturally, all other guests enter one by one and remain in the room until the end of the game.
Snowman
Line up several people (4-6) one after the other, side by side with the guests. Show the last player a simple drawing of a snowman and ask them to draw THIS on the previous player's back. He is trying to understand what he was depicted, draws on his back what he understood (silently). So we reach the first in this line, which should depict the original drawing on clean paper. Usually a snowman turns into a face :-). The rest of the details are lost along the way.
Guess the soft toy
Thanks to the oddities of soft toys manufacturers, this contest is funny. We blindfold the player and offer to guess what he is holding in his hands. For example, when we offered to identify a snake in a Santa Claus hat with a bag for gifts, the girl said that it was a snail. Guests are always surprised that they failed to guess such an obvious little animal. It’s funnier if a person comments on his guesses aloud.
What would the Indians call you?
This is not a competition, just an excuse to laugh at the table while eating cake. These are funny names that the Indians might give you. The first column is the first letter of the first name, the second column is the first letter of the last name.
Changelings
Solving the shifters is fun. I remind you that this is:
Above the stagnant sand, milk boils (which means - Under a lying stone, water does not flow).
Famous lines:

FAQ
This is absolutely unbeatable entertainment. Tested on thousands of children's and adult holidays. I found a site that has selected questions and answers that are relatively suitable for a 12-14 year old birthday.
It needs to be done like this. Questions are enough to have only the leader, you can read in a row. But the answers need to be printed on separate sheets of paper and invite guests to pull out a piece of paper at random: “Do you brush your teeth?” “Yes, I have many talents…”
Draw 3D
Now, even among adults, creative workshops are popular, so let's not lag behind. I like that this particular drawing is ALWAYS obtained by EVERYONE, but it looks very impressive. What do you need? Album sheets for each person, a simple pencil, felt-tip pens and 5-7 minutes of time.
We put the left palm on the sheet and draw around with a pencil along the contour. Now we take a felt-tip pen of any color and draw parallel lines at a distance of 1 cm from each other. From the edge of the paper, just a straight line, and where the outline of the hand begins, you need to draw an arc. After the contour of the hand, we continue the straight line. From the picture, I think everything is clear. It turns out a real 3D drawing! I think it's great!
With felt-tip pens of other colors, we repeat the bends of the first lines, this is already quite simple. If you put a date on the picture and hang it in a frame, you will remember for a long time how well you had a good time with your friends on your birthday.

Uncle Fyodor's letter
The player sits in circles and everyone is given blank sheets of paper and pens. The facilitator asks the question: "Who?". Players write the names of their heroes at the top of the sheet.

The player, not knowing what is written on the tablet hanging on his back, must answer these questions.
If you decide to organize a fun birthday party for your child in honor of his 12th birthday, first you should come up with a theme for the party, draw invitations, and prepare an entertainment program for children, contests that will be interesting on the birthday.
Uncle Fyodor's letter
At the very beginning of the evening, when some of the guests have already arrived for the birthday, and some are still only on the way, you can hold a small competition so that the guests do not get bored. The competition is called "Letter from Uncle Fyodor". The essence of the game is that the children will take turns writing down the answers to the questions that the host will ask them on a piece of paper, and then wrap the piece of paper so that the answer is not visible and pass it on to the next participant.
Questions can be different: “Who?”, “When?”, “In what situation?”, “What did you do?” etc. When the sheet is filled with the answers of the children, it will need to be unfolded and the resulting funny story read to the guests. Such a birthday contest will help to liberate children and make the minutes of waiting not so boring.
The next competition is also suitable for warming up.

The second participant continues the drawing and wraps the sheet again and so on until the last player. The resulting collective image can then be evaluated, come up with a name for it.
Such competitions develop the imagination of children at the age of 12.
Alphabet
This competition will be not only interesting for children of 12 years old, but also useful. The fact is that not every guest is easily ready to prepare a good congratulation and wish for the birthday man, and such a contest will help turn the process of congratulations into an exciting game.
The meaning of the competition is that each participant of the holiday in turn comes up with a wish for the hero of the occasion for the next letter of the alphabet. That is, the first “toasting” begins his congratulations with the letter “a”, the second with “b”, and so on. The competition can be unexpectedly fun and will develop imagination.
Snowballs
For this competition, it will be necessary to divide the participants equally, breaking them into two teams. The players of each team are given a stack of paper, and a basket is placed some distance from the team. The meaning of the competition is that each participant takes turns crumpling a sheet of paper, turning it into a "snowball" and trying to get into the basket. Then, the thrower goes to the end of the line, giving way to the next player. The team that throws the most snowballs into the basket wins the competition.
Volleyball with a balloon
This competition will develop quick reaction and dexterity in children of 12 years old.
The players are still divided into two teams, the children sit on chairs that are previously placed opposite each other at a distance of about a meter. Between the teams, a rope is placed on the floor, which separates the field of teams.

The task of the rest of the children is to make “Nesmeyana” laugh without touching her hands. The guest who managed to make the princess laugh, sits on a chair himself and becomes "Unsmiled".
Eskimo blind man's buff
This game for children is similar to ordinary blind man's blind man, the leader needs to be blindfolded and put thick mittens on his hands. The game begins, each participant takes turns walking to the driver. The leader's task is to determine by touch who is standing in front of him. When the leader has identified the participant, he becomes the leader.
Confusion
The game will be interesting for children 12 years old. All guests stand in a circle and take each other's hands, while the leader leaves the room or turns away. Participants begin the confusion by crawling between each other's arms, but without disengaging them. The task of the driver is to unravel the resulting tangle. Such competitions will develop logical thinking and attentiveness in children of 12 years old.
Three, thirteen, thirty
All participants line up in a straight line so that they are at arm's length from each other. The facilitator explains to them which action is performed on which number. For example: "3 - hands on the belt, 13 - up, 30 - hands to the sides, etc." The host starts the game by naming a number, and the guests perform a certain action. Gradually the pace picks up. The one who makes a mistake stands next to the leader - opposite the players and tries to bring down the participants, making deliberately wrong hand movements.
The winner is the one who in the end never makes a mistake.
Siamese twins
All guests are divided into two teams, each team must have an even number of players. Team members are divided into pairs. Children in a pair stand side by side, hugging their partner's shoulders with one hand. The result should be "Siamese twins", in which the right hand will be free for one guest, and the left for the other. The task of each pair is to run to the chair on which the sweets lie and unfold it together and eat it, using only their free hands. The first team to eat all the candy will be the winner. The game can be diversified with other tasks, for example, tie a shoelace or make a paper airplane.
Such competitions develop teamwork skills in 12-year-old children, as well as liberate and allow children to get to know each other better.
Hunting
The names of all guests are written on sheets of paper, and then distributed to the players. What is written on a piece of paper - you do not need to show anyone. The guest whose name is given to the player becomes his prey. The music turns on, during the dance the player needs to monitor his prey as discreetly as possible, and when the music turns off, grab it. The interest of the game is that each participant will be the prey of another hunter.

Games for children 6-12 years old

Attributes: a small object and a source of music.
One of the participants leaves the room. The driver hides a treasure somewhere (for example, candy), then calls the participant and asks him to find it. Candy is searched to the music: the closer the participant comes to the place where the treasure is hidden, the louder the music plays, if he starts to move away from the place, the music is muffled. Music can be replaced by claps if there are several who want to take part: they, by changing the volume of claps, tell the one who is looking for the location of the object.
2. "Changing rooms" - theatrical competition
Attributes: relay baton and a bag with various items of clothing.
Children stand up, forming a circle, in the center of which they put a bag with various things. Then, to the music, the children pass the baton to each other. The one who has a wand when the music stops, runs up to the bag, takes any thing and puts it on. Then the game continues. You can throw several sticks in a circle. The one with the most items will win.
3. "Lark" - song contest
Attributes: music source.
Those who wish to take part in the competition in turn. The host plays any well-known song. At some point, he turns off the sound, and the participant must sing 1-2 lines.

5. "Strongmen" - sports competition
Those who wish to take part find an adversary. Then they stand opposite each other, turning in opposite directions. They grab each other under the elbow and, at the signal of the leader, try to pull the enemy to their side. Who could do it - wins.
6. "Electricity" - a physical competition
Attributes: plastic sticks and finely chopped paper.
It's no secret that static electricity exists. A charged comb can attract hair, and the accumulation of electricity at the fingertips causes a pain reaction when touched. If you rub a plastic stick with a woolen cloth, then paper will be attracted to it. Small pieces can even be carried this way. This is precisely the essence of the competition: to transfer all the paper from point A to point B.
7. "Energy Transfer" - dance competition
Attributes: the source of the music and the subject to be transmitted, such as a book.
All participants are randomly distributed around the room. One of them is the driver. He picks up a "source" of energy (a book), which allows him to make any movements. The rest cannot move - they freeze in place. The music turns on, the driver, dancing, approaches any participant, hands him a book and freezes in place. The one who received the source of energy continues the movement of the first driver - he, also dancing, reaches the next one and passes the source to him. Thus, all participants must dance. Those who did not cope with the task (moved without a source) are eliminated.
