Live animals
The interactive zoo is a fashionable theme, and now it can be brought to your home in any composition. A goat, a raccoon, a hedgehog, a koala, a timid young anaconda - all these living creatures will hang around your house, delight children and touch the elderly. It is clear that it is worth hiring a special person in advance to clean up after the animals in real time.
Birthday online
If your relatives have long left, some to Israel, some to New Caledonia, you can organize an event using Skype. But the group chat looks a bit boring. It is better to place several monitors and several web cameras around the table, aimed so that each video guest can see everyone else. Your bonus is that everyone buys their own champagne.
Open air
You can create sketches and birthday scenarios that will be held outdoors. These can be active games with a ball and plates, hide and seek or catch up. It is important to create appropriate entertainment for children and adults.
Several options for outdoor games:
- Edible and inedible. Several players stand in a circle. One takes the ball and, naming the product or object, throws it to the participant. In this case, you need to make a decision quickly. If the name is edible, you need to catch the ball; if it is not edible, throw it away. Whoever makes a mistake is out.
- Showing off. To do this, you should choose a presenter and the first one to show. Any object, animal, profession is a mystery. It is important, without uttering a word, to show the hidden meaning to the audience with signs. Whoever guesses shows the next one.
Game of Mafia
If you have ideas for a birthday party at home, then you can create a script yourself, choose a theme and surprise your guests. But if you don’t have such plans, then you can use popular games.
How to play Mafia:
- You need to prepare pieces of paper in advance with inscriptions on them: cop, civilian, mafia, doctor, prostitute, maniac. It is important that the number of inscriptions matches the number of players. There should be one of each character, except for the mafia - 3. The rest can become civilians.
- When the pieces of paper have been distributed to the players, you can start playing. To do this, the presenter says: “everyone falls asleep, the prostitute wakes up.” She can infect someone with a dangerous disease. A maniac can do the same.
- When everyone falls asleep (closes their eyes), the mafia wakes up, then they can recognize their comrades-in-arms and, without saying a word, use gestures to decide who to kill.
- The cop must conduct an investigation and figure out who the mafia is. If he guesses correctly before he is killed, then the criminal is eliminated from the game.
- Each round ends with voting. During it, one of the players is eliminated. The last one left wins. If it is a mafioso, then victory will be on the side of crime, if it is a civilian, then good will win.
Collect more information
Each participant receives a task: in two minutes of examining the birthday boy’s house or apartment, collect as much information as possible about this stage of the hero of the occasion’s life and about the interests of his life. At the “start” command, participants begin to walk around, paying attention to all the details and things they see. And then everyone in turn lists all the collected facts, for example, First: the birthday boy often plays chess, since they are in a visible place; Second: the birthday boy loves coffee, since he has several varieties of this drink in his kitchen; Third: the birthday boy loves to read Turgenev - books by this author are on the table; Fourth: the birthday boy is working on a new work project - in his room there is a model of a new building, and so on. The participant who can collect more information and provide more facts about the birthday person will win and receive a prize.
Games and competitions in the style of Question and Answer
This is quite an interesting pastime and an opportunity to celebrate a birthday. It requires preparation in advance. To do this, take sheets of paper and cut them into rectangles of equal size.
After this, the leaves are divided into two identical piles. Questions will be written on some of them, answers on others.
When those present are ready to play, then the presenter invites them to take out one piece of paper from each pile and read the questions and answers out loud. Unusual combinations can create a cheerful atmosphere and help you understand how to have a fun birthday without a toastmaster. This way you need to pass the stacks around and entertain each guest.

- Did the newspapers talk about you yesterday as a hero-lover?
- Are you acting like a pig?
- Are you a cute creature?

You shouldn't invite someone just out of fear that the person will be offended if you don't invite them. It is worth entering the new decade of life with those people whom you want to see, with whom it is easy and comfortable. These can be people with whom the hero of the day has known since childhood, his grandmothers, uncles and aunts, and even people with whom he has known for less than a month, but he already communicates easily with them and the hero of the occasion really likes them. You shouldn’t be afraid that someone doesn’t like someone or that someone won’t feel comfortable - two people can always find a common topic for conversation and do a common thing if they choose the right situation and group of guests. Well, on the birthday of the birthday person - everything should be exactly according to his wishes.

This kind of entertainment is perfect for adults of any age - it will allow them to express themselves, remember what they have always wanted and wish the birthday boy all the best in visual illustrations. Another way to entertain all your guests at once is to have everyone play a board game. This could be a classic journey along a drawn map of some fictional world, a game of monopoly, or guessing words against time in the game “Alias.” This game allows you not only to involve all the guests, but also to shake them up quite well after a significant meal.
When celebrating an anniversary at home, you should remember that this is, first of all, a celebration of the birthday person himself. And it should be celebrated in accordance with how the hero of the occasion wants. That is why he should decorate the apartment according to his own wishes, invite exactly those people whom he wants to see and spend time exactly as this person feels.
