Give me the correct answer
The presenter must prepare a series of questions for children for this competition; the questions contain a small, but tricky part, in case someone gets caught. Example questions: 1. A lunatic is a) a person who lives on the Moon, b) a person who walks at night; 2. A Martian is a) a fictional alien who lives on Mars, b) a person who constantly eats a Mars bar, and so on. The question is answered by the child who raised his hand first. If the answer is correct, the participant is given a tasty reward, for example, candy.

For more specific instructions, make sure to visit our resource on important information to include on invitations.
Detectives
Two of the guys are detectives, and the rest are interviewees. The guys being interviewed receive a secret word - an object that was stolen, for example, checkers, a book, a car, a painting, and so on. The detectives, with the help of their questions, to which the respondents answer only “yes” or “no,” must find out what exactly was stolen, for example, is it one thing? Can this item be played? Can this item be worn? Is this item heavy? Is this item oversized? and so on. The first detective to guess what was stolen will win a prize.

Animal analogy
In this competition, the birthday boy and his guests will have to show ingenuity and intelligence. The presenter names a domestic animal, and the children must choose an analogue of the animal from wild animals, for example, bull - bison, chicken - partridge, rabbit - hare, dog - wolf, geese - swans, cat - lion, rooster - black grouse, pig - wild boar, goat - roe deer and so on. The game can be played for both individual participants and teams. The team receives a point for the correct analogue. Whoever has the most points at the end is the winner.
How not to go broke organizing a children's birthday party
Decide on a budget
The first step in planning any party is to decide how much you are willing to spend on it. If you don't set a limit, you will end up losing more money than you expected.
Having decided on the total amount, break it down into categories: set a financial ceiling for the purchase of food, jewelry, spending on entertainment. If your child is old enough, involve him in budgeting. This experience is a great opportunity to teach children how to manage money.
Be rational in choosing a topic
A party in the style of a cartoon about Ladybug and Supercat or Marvel superhero films is, of course, a bright thing. But if you're planning something like this, stop for a moment and consider the costs. For example, calculate how much money will be spent on themed plates, paper cups, napkins, tablecloths and balloons. The amount will impress you, we guarantee. But in addition to decorations, you will also need appropriate costumes, accessories, toy weapons, themed sweets...
In general, soberly assess your capabilities. And remember: the most interesting thing about the holiday is the opportunity to have fun with friends and blow out the candles on the cake (even if it’s not decorated with superheroes). The design is a fun thing, but still secondary.
Consider not serving treats
Or, as a last resort, limit yourself to a festive pie and tea. Treats take up a significant portion of the holiday budget, especially if not only children, but also their parents are invited to the party.
To make the lack of treats less noticeable, schedule the holiday for the afternoon.
Decide on the location of the party
A holiday away from home is always more expensive. If your child insists on going to a cafe or entertainment center, try to find out why. Most likely, it’s the festive atmosphere that fills these establishments. Promise the future birthday boy that you and him will decorate the apartment so that it will become indistinguishable from a children's center. And, of course, keep your promise.
Balloons, a “Happy Birthday!” garland suspended from the ceiling, party hats and whistles for all guests will cost less than a group visit to an amusement park.
Save on wrapping paper
Gift wrapping (especially at specialized service points) is not a cheap pleasure. If you're short on money, get a little creative. Gifts can be wrapped in comic book pages, old T-shirts, and even bubble wrap, which postal services use to protect the contents of packages. Any of these options will look original and bright.
Limit the number of guests
You can have a memorable birthday without a crowd of friends. Invite your child to invite only 2-3 of his most trusted friends to the party.
However, a good children's birthday party does not require guests at all: a family holiday can be no less joyful. And how to color it with impressions and budget gifts - read below.
Pass the button to the birthday boy
The guys are divided into two teams with the same number of people. One team is on one side of the table, and the other is opposite. The first members of both teams receive a button and place it on their index fingers. At the command “start”, the first team members, without the help of hands or other participants, pass the button with their index finger to the index finger of the next participant, and they, in turn, pass the button with their index finger to the index finger of the next one. The team that passes the button to the birthday boy faster than their opponents using only their index fingers will be the winner.
Secrets of organizing a bright and interesting holiday
Regardless of the theme and format of the celebration, it is necessary to think through all the details, from preparation for the event to the departure of the guests.
The following tips and tricks will show you how to organize your child's birthday smoothly and unforgettably:
- Having decided on the theme of the holiday, do not deviate from it in any way: invitation cards, children’s costumes, room decoration, entertainment program and festive table must strictly correspond to it.
- The beginning of the holiday should immediately put you in a cheerful mood, so it is important to greet the guests in an unusual way (for example, at the beginning of a football party, during the arrival of each guest, announce through a bullhorn in the voice of a sports commentator that a new player is entering the field).
- Stock up on enough prizes for participants in various competitions - small gifts will inspire little fidgets.
- Alternate feasts with entertainment, active and sports fun with creative and intellectual tasks, otherwise children will quickly get tired.
- The final part of the event should be the culmination of the entire holiday.
There are a huge number of different ideas for organizing a boy’s birthday. Boys love adventure, extreme sports, science fiction, and try to imitate their favorite superheroes, so the most important thing at their holiday is to give them the opportunity to see their potential, reach new heights, and overcome their fears and insecurities.
A jar of forfeit
All guests are divided into two teams with the same number of people. The teams stand in separate rows. The first team members are given a jar of forfeits. At the “start” command, the guys begin to pass the jar to the next participants, until the last ones. The latter must open a can of Fanta. The team with the least amount of foam in the jar will win. After this, you can make a second round by running the open can of Fanta in the opposite direction. Now each participant takes a sip and passes the jar to the next participant. The team with the empty jar in the hands of the first participant wins.
Unusual events for children and teenagers
Extreme celebration
It is difficult to surprise teenage boys with the traditional holiday format, so we offer to organize for them an unforgettable adventure, full of excitement and adrenaline.
There are many places to book an active and extreme birthday party:
- Rope park.
- Climbing wall.
- Paintball club.
- Extreme driving club with a master class for children.
- Participation in laser games (laser tag or going through a laser maze).
- For lovers of tourism and sports, you can arrange a festive bike ride with a bonfire, songs with a guitar and an overnight stay in a tent.
Those who want to broaden their horizons and experience the most thrilling sensations can be offered to fly into the skies or dive under the water. The first option is to fly in a hot air balloon, paraglider or paratrike. Sea lovers can be pleased with a diving master class or a spearfishing certificate.
Passing the quest
Participating in quests is a fresh and exciting idea that any teenager will appreciate.
Most often, an quest for children is a team game, the goal of which is to get out of the room in a limited time, going through all the points and solving logic problems, thus finding all the necessary clues and the key to the door. Quests can be organized in a specially equipped room - a quest room, or in an open space. There are such large-scale events that you need to use bicycles to move from one point to another.
A quest for a child can be easily organized on your own at home or during a picnic in the open area. To do this, you need to decide on the theme and select the appropriate details, think through the scenario of the birthday quest, selecting tasks of varying levels of difficulty, plan a route and think about how the participants will move from one point to another (using hints or a map assembled from pieces). The optimal number of children or teenagers for such a holiday is a small company of 4-5 people.

Special forces team
All boys love to play war. Therefore, a military-style holiday will delight the birthday boy.
Your birthday invitation should indicate that a dress code is required. Everyone should wear comfortable clothing (skirts and dresses for girls are not allowed), preferably khaki or black.
Tracksuits are best suited, since at such a holiday children will have to run, jump, crawl, and climb.
After guests arrive for the holiday, you can use face painting. Apply war paint to children's faces.
Upon completion of the necessary preparation, inform the children that they are going on an important secret mission, that many dangerous, difficult tasks await them ahead.
Children will enjoy the “Recruit Training” relay race, which will use all the children’s physical abilities: run to obstacles, crawl under them, climb a hill, run through a minefield.
Little guests will be delighted if you arrange a shooting range for them. Any children's pistols or machine guns are suitable for this.
You can use anything as a target: dartboard, tin cans, balloons.
Boys can compete in endurance and resourcefulness: who can push who out of the circle with their shoulder.
Arm wrestling will help determine who has the strongest hands.
Such a birthday will not leave indifferent even the girls who came as guests, not to mention the birthday boy himself.
Don’t forget to take themed photos for your 10th birthday – the boy will be interested to see the cheerful company in war paint.
To decide on the theme of a children's party, you need to take into account the child's preferences, think about what you yourself would like at his age, brightly decorate the hall - and then the success of the holiday is guaranteed.
