Entertaining games for children 10-12 years old. Lines from poems

Your baby is almost grown up, 10-12 years old, when children seem to be still small, but it’s already difficult to find funny ones that will occupy all the guests so that they don’t soon run into the room and start playing “their” games on the computer or tablet .

But to make your child’s birthday fun and memorable for his friends, you need to prepare some entertainment. Both an eight-year-old and a younger child will love these birthday contests for kids.

And if you show a little ingenuity, you can play children’s games for your anniversary or New Year. If you live in an apartment, then games for your birthday at home are also suitable for you.

Try to cook:

1. Prizes,
2. sweets,
3. chocolates,
4. small toys.

All this is necessary so that the entertainment process unites all the children and no one gets bored.

As a rule, you don’t have much fun indoors and you can’t play with a ball so as not to break the dishes. Therefore, we suggest you choose fun competitions for children that do not require much space.

Artists

For this game you will need two easels and markers. The more friends your offspring invites, the better. We divide the children into two groups, if possible equally. For example, 4 by 4 or 5 by 5. We give the task to draw any picture, be it a boat, a rocket, a car, etc. At a signal, the first of each team begins to draw, at the next signal they pass to the second, these to the third, etc. The team that draws the drawing the fastest will win.

Picture backs

• The guys sit next to each other (back to face). Each person is placed on their back with a piece of paper attached with tape. One of the participants is told in a whisper what to draw. For example, the sun, a flower or a house.
• The child begins to draw a picture on the neighbor’s back with a pencil, trying to press as clearly and as hard as possible so that the neighbor understands with his back what they drew there, and tries to repeat the drawing on his neighbor, etc. round. Then they look at the drawings and check whether everyone understood correctly what should have been drawn.

Firefighters

Place two chairs facing each other, with their backs facing. Hang jackets with the sleeves turned out on them, and put a rope (about 2 meters) under the chairs. At the call of the presenter, or the words: Fire! Two competitors must quickly turn out their sleeves and put the jacket on themselves (with the buttons or zipper closed), run around the competitor's chair, sit on their own chair and pull the rope.

Games at the table

Competitions for children 2017 are suitable for all ages. A fun competition can be held right at the table.

What is your name?

Children sit down more comfortably, trying to sit in a semicircle. The presenter distributes cards with the names of inanimate objects. For example: slap, slate, mop, washcloth, rag, etc.

Then the presenter begins to ask questions to each participant, the answer should only be what is written on the card. The main rule is that the participant with whom the presenter is talking does not laugh or smile the entire time the questions are being asked.

For example: What is your name? Washcloth! What's on your head? Washcloth! What did you have for lunch today? With a washcloth! Who's your friend? Washcloth! What do you use to brush your teeth? With a washcloth! Etc. In this way, it is advisable not to repeat questions.

On the street

Outdoors interesting competitions for children you can diversify. The school period is very active for children, so it is easier to go outside and into the garden.

At summer camp

At the summer camp you can also choose a fairly active type of competition. School starts in the fall, and in the summer the kids need to burn off their energy through games. You can connect balls, jump ropes, rubber bands and much more.

Hitting the ball on target

• Children are divided into teams; an object, pin or bucket is placed at a distance (10 m). If it’s a pin, then you need to knock it down, if it’s a bucket, then throw the ball into it. The referee sets the initial type of throw.
• If you need to knock down an object, the ball must be rolled on the ground or kicked. If you throw it into a bucket, then throw it from behind your head with both hands or just one, for example, the left one, to complicate the task. The team with the most points for hits wins.

Ball in the ring

This competition is suitable in places where there is a basketball court, the principle is the same as above. You just need to throw the ball into the hoop.

Who is faster

Children take jump ropes and, lined up in a line, jump to the marked place on the command to race. The one who is faster will win.

Or they place boxes at a distance on opposite sides. One box is empty, the other with toys. Children take turns transferring objects from a full box to an empty box. It turns out to be a shuttle race, and those who have the most toys will win.

Game "Owl"

A circle “Owl’s nest” is made in any place, one participant is selected, he will be the Owl, and the rest will be bugs and insects.

The presenter gives the command “Day!” everyone except the owl begins to run and flap their wings, suddenly the leader announces the command “Night!”, all the insects must freeze, and the owl flies out of the nest and looks for those who are moving, if noticed, takes them to the nest. Then day and night are repeated, and the number of insects caught is counted.

Creative competitions for children

You can come up with creative competitions yourself or spy on existing ones, use logic or artistic skills of children, add math problems or riddles.

You can write a well-known poem, but do not finish it, and the children will have to remember and complete it themselves or compose poems based on the given words. Create grammar tasks or logic labyrinths. Everything is limited only by your imagination.

Birthday contests for children

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

Games at school

You can even play the following games in the hall during school recess.

• “Bunny, bunny, what time is it?” The leader (hare) stands with his back to the players. Everyone takes turns asking the time and adding: “I’m in a hurry for my birthday!” The hare calls any time. The player measures his steps (an hour is a large 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 normal steps, three foot lengths (one and a half steps). Whoever reaches the hare first and touches him takes his place. Everything starts all over again. This event will diversify children's time study competitions and reinforce terms.
• “Ring, ring, go out onto the porch.” Players stand or sit in a row with their arms extended forward (palms tightly closed into a boat). The presenter takes a “ring” (any small detail), which he must quietly place from his “boat” into the player’s palm. He may pretend to give the ring to the player after hesitating. Then the presenter stands in the middle and asks the participant with the ring to come out. The players' task is to catch the one who has 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, marked on the left with numbers, on top with letters) with one-, two-, three-, four-decker ships. The player names the number and letter of the cell. Getting into the ship, continues the game; Having missed, he passes the move to the opponent. At the same time, he clarifies whether he “killed” or “wounded”.

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

• Regular digital. Draw hopscotch up to ten. The player’s task is to throw a pebble into the cell with a number, “jump” the classics and pick up the chip on the way back. It is prohibited to step outside the lines. As soon as the first level is completed (from one to ten), the game begins with the next number (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 participant who completes the most levels wins. To hit the cells with the numbers “nine” and “ten” with a pebble, you are allowed to step on the first square. And you can jump on them with a running start, also jumping onto the first number. Sports competitions for children primary school Can't do without the classics, which are made from cellophane or fabric.
• Round digital. Draw big 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. The difference is in the jumps. In the first version, you jump alternately on one leg and then on the other. 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 goes from the first number 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 competitions for children 10 years old. 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, dacha, car, child, husband, trip, etc.), and “fire” is written on the roof. The player stands with his back to the line and throws a pebble, looks at what kind of wealth fell out, jumps and picks up the chip on the way back. You can't go beyond the lines of the classics. If you fall into a “fire,” then all your wealth is burned. The richest one wins. After the first game, children can adjust the rules themselves, modifying them to suit their capabilities.

Games with jump rope

Popular games include rubber bands and jump ropes. Both participants put the elastic band on their feet. The third player jumps over it. After going through all the steps, goes to new level. To do this, raise the elastic band from the ankle 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 leader stands in the center of the circle, holds one edge of the rope, begins to twist it and say: “Rose, birch, lily, poppy, porridge, chamomile, scarlet flower” until one player trips. The one on which the word was stopped leaves the game. The titles are initially distributed among the participants. The one who remains wins. He becomes the leader. These games are useful to “dilute” calm, intellectual or “sedentary” competitions at the birthday party of a 10-year-old child.
• Salochki. Two players spin the rope, the third participant must jump without touching it. Teachers use it in competitions, making the task more difficult. For example, while jumping, read a poem, sing or recite the multiplication table.
• Trait. Two people hold the rope at the participant's chest level. The player must pass without touching anything. Each time the rope is lowered lower and lower. The player who touches the line is eliminated.

Usually, teachers and parents spend a lot of time organizing even the most minor children's events. At the same time, problems rarely arise with the selection of mobile competitions. More often the question arises: how to persuade children to sit quietly for a while and how to conduct a quiz.

There are a few important things to keep in mind when preparing your quiz questions:

• Children's age. IN school age every year matters. What is interesting to seven-year-olds may already seem boring to eight-year-olds.
• Interests. Favorite games, films, books. This is one of the most important factors in the choice of questions.
• Location.
• The theme of the holiday, if present. For example, it could be a birthday in the style of pirates or fairy tales. Then most of the questions should correspond to the given topic.

Organization rules

In addition to preparation important role The organization of the quiz itself also plays a role. Active children are sometimes not so easy to interest in intellectual play. There are several tips to help organizers cope with this task:

1. You need to create a buzz around the quiz before it even starts. You can invite the guys to split into teams. Let them think about a name, a motto, and choose a captain. Teams can answer questions one at a time, and for each correct answer they will receive a token. Whoever scores more wins.

If there are not very many children at the holiday, then each child can play for himself. You can take the quiz right at the table.

1. Before asking a question, children can be asked to choose a topic. That is, you will have to divide all the questions into groups. For example, animals, plants, cartoons, sports and so on. Here everything will depend on the interests of the young company.
2. There must be musical accompaniment. It will be boring to answer questions in silence. For quizzes, it is better to choose rhythmic tracks without words.
3. As a result, absolutely all participants should receive memorable prizes.

Such questions can quickly amuse both the guests and the birthday boy.

Guess the melody

The game is suitable for a company that has already met, warmed up and is having fun. This quiz will require a host, a computer or stereo system, and a selection of music. It is better to choose songs from different genres. Let it be children's songs from cartoons, soundtracks from films, and popular melodies. The presenter plays excerpts of songs, and players must guess the name.

Another option is a quiz. All guests are divided into two or three teams (depending on their number). You are given one word and a limited time. Each team must come up with as many songs as possible with a given word.

The tasks largely depend on the imagination of the owner of the holiday. For each completed task, you can give players small prizes.

What? Where? When?

It's going to be exciting intellectual quiz. It is better to prepare complex questions, depending on the age of the guests, in advance. The rules are as follows:

1. A question is asked and a limited time is given to think.
2. Each team discusses the answer and writes it down on paper.
3. The correct answer is announced, and the team that guesses correctly is awarded a point.

Whichever team ends up with more points will be the winner. You can increase the number of points for particularly difficult questions or for quickly writing the correct answer. The number of rounds may not be limited. And the winners must receive prizes.
