How to spend a 10-year-old child's birthday?

The psychological feature of 10-year-old children is that such children are actively and consciously interested in the surrounding reality, willingly takes part in all kinds of competitions. This is due to the desire to show their abilities.

Children's birthday can be originally celebrated both at home and in a public place. For this, it is important to think over everything to the smallest detail. It is about the age of the children, their number and temperament. The key figure of any birthday is the birthday man, so you should always build on his interests and preferences. It should be noted that if the guests get bored, then the hero of the occasion will not be interested either.

Speaking about the time spent with benefit, it should be noted that it is better to organize a themed party. Then the holiday will definitely become not only fun, but also informative. For these purposes, you can come up with an event in a spy, pirate, or other fun style for children. Celebrations like these with an emphasis on learning can be organized for both girls and boys. The theme of the party can be related to your favorite cartoon or TV series.

Favorite characters among girls of years are Winx fairies, Lady Bug, rainbow ponies and more. With the help of these images, you can motivate children not only to overcome obstacles, but also to learn about the surrounding reality. It can be a trip to different countries or to the natural world, which in everyday life seems boring for most children. If the girl is already curious, then you can simply arrange for her an interesting pastime with her friends, focusing on play activities.

Well, in cases when you want to organize a real themed party, then among girls, holidays in the style of the same Winx or Lady Bug are popular.

The psychological indicators of the age characteristics of boys do not differ much from those of girls. The difference, probably, lies in the fact that most of the boys prefer active activity, rather than passive perception of information. As for everything else, boys also love bright costumes, fun and interesting games, gifts, and more.

If we talk about the variety of favorite cartoon images, then the list here is much more. This is possibly justified by the specifics of interests. If girls are interested in such vivid images as dolls and animals, then boys will have robots, cars, superheroes and the same animals. Vivid examples are the cartoon characters "Cars", "Paw Patrol", "Ninja Turtles", "Transforming robots" and others.

There is an opinion that the holiday is intended directly for fun. But if from childhood you do not teach children to enjoy activities of an intellectual orientation, then cognition of the world in the future will not be an attractive activity for the child. The main condition in cognitive entertainment is age-appropriateness.

All cognitive games can be divided into 2 groups. These are board games and parody games. The first option is widely represented by bright printed models, which are available for sale in bookstores and children's stores. Parody games are analogous to television programs. These include the following decisions: “What? Where? When? ”,“ In the animal world ”,“ Guess the melody ”,“ Funny starts ”and much more”.

If the child is fond of music, then it is advisable to conduct the game "Guess the melody". If there is an urgent need to focus on learning new information, you can use the following trick: make a musical selection, for example, about animals, and, as a change of activity, give the task to tell about the animal indicated in the song. To make the learning process unobtrusive, you can use pantomime.

For the greatest interest in the game, children should be divided into teams. After guessing the melody, an additional point is awarded to the team that can, using pantomime, portray an animal. As an additional task, it would be a good option to ask you to prepare a message about the habitat and habits of the animal. If there is not enough information, children can complement each other or use tips from adults.

It is aimed at cognitive interest and the game “What? Where? When? ”, But its duration can be tiresome for a child. To prevent this from happening, the traditional TV version needs to be adjusted for children's capabilities. First, the teams must sit at the same table. This can be a team from the left and right side of the table.

Secondly, posing the question can be boring for young participants, so you need to bring a touch of theatrical skill to the holiday. A parcel for guessing the contents can be brought, for example, by the postman Pechkin.

In childhood, nothing brings children together like outdoor games and contests. They can be not only fun and interesting, but also developmental. You can make entertainment aimed at coordinating movements, developing accuracy or team building. It all depends on the free space in the room.

On the celebration of the 10th anniversary, you can entertain the company of the birthday person, attracting them to funny numbers of a dance orientation. These can be numbers from break dance or from the series "Dances of the Nations of the World". At the age of 10, performances on modern themes go well. It can be "An incident at school", "Visiting a fairy tale", "Once on the street" and much more.

If the holiday takes place at home, then you can hold a culinary competition. To do this, it is not at all necessary to fiddle with the dough, although this is not excluded. You can prepare a competition for the most original salad or for the fastest preparation of a dish. In houses with a large kitchen, contests aimed at making pizza will also be appropriate. Ordinary apartments are also not the reason why holding a holiday at home becomes impossible.

Consider some interesting entertainment that you can have at the table.

• The game "Chinese". Chopped vegetables or fruits are laid out on a plate for each child and Chinese sticks are given. The child's task is to empty the plate with chopsticks as quickly as possible.
• Team game "Aerofootball". Guests are divided into teams. An imaginary gate is set at the edges of the table. Participants take cocktail tubes and, blowing into them, try to blow a ball of cotton wool or foam into the opponent's goal. The number of teams can vary from 2 to 4.
• Game "Yes, no". The presenter thinks about the subject. Participants, using leading questions, must determine the conceived. The presenter can only say "yes" or "no".

In cases where there is nowhere to roam with outdoor games, creative contests become a real salvation.

• "Sonneteer". Guests sitting at the table are given a piece of paper and a pen. Children should write a congratulatory phrase and fold the sheet so that the next participant can only see the last word, to which the rhyme is selected. The last participant passes the sheet to the birthday man, and he reads the congratulation aloud. The most original poet should receive a prize. A drawing competition can be held in a similar way. Its essence will be that one participant draws the head, the other - the body, and the third - the legs. The winner is the one who can describe the resulting creature or tell a story about it.
• "Mosaic". The guys receive a coloring book with a large image and cut old postcards. Children should cover the image with cut paper as soon as possible. The winner is the one whose work is the most accurate and original. Speed ​​also counts. Work can be both individual and collective.
• "Continue the song." The presenter turns on a well-known melody and begins to sing along (you can do without this). The goal of the players is to continue chanting. If the participant fails, then the move goes to another player.

A quest means passing an obstacle. In addition, the test should not be one-time. It is a system leading to a single end result. Often, for a birthday, a quest is arranged, for example, aimed at finding a cake. If the party is themed, then the quest may be associated with a treasure hunt (they may be a box with small gifts for guests).

When the holiday takes place with the family, it is always interesting to pass the quest for the birthday person "Collect gifts". Each family member hides his gift somewhere, and only hints are given to the hero of the occasion. The end result is a search for all the gifts. In the family circle, this event will resemble the game "Hot and cold".

If you are preparing a quest, then you need to try to ensure that all children are interested in passing the tests. The organization of such an event begins with the "bookmark" of the main presentation. It is desirable that several rooms are involved in the search. At the initial stage, participants receive a letter, where the first tip is given in the form of a riddle:

• "In a dark, dark corner,
• In the sunniest side (we are talking about the room)
• There is something very big.
• There at the very bottom
• There is something small and square.
• And that will be your salvation. "

Children should guess that the letter says about a wardrobe, where they need to find, for example, a box. It may contain, for example, a key. The guys must find what the given item is from, and then open it. The next test may be the set of letters that make up a word. It will also be the next tip for solving the mystery.

It is generally accepted that the originality of congratulations lies in beautiful congratulatory words. To properly understand the words coming from the heart is only within the power of an adult. Children aged 8-10 should be congratulated visually brightly or unexpectedly. Just imagine what the emotions of the child will be if in the morning he is met by the household in bright costumes. The image can be anything: Carlson, Leopold the cat, pirates and any other favorite characters.

In the morning, you can present not only the main gift, but also “coupons of harm”. Their validity period can be any: during the day, week, month. By "harmful coupons" is meant that which is prohibited on any other day. This can be a ban on watching TV in the evening or spending the night with a friend. Everyone will have their own options.

A memorable event will be the editing of video greetings for the child. It is desirable that it was not just a chronicle of life, but a parody of your favorite cartoon or program. Preparing such congratulations requires certain editing skills. If necessary, you can always turn to specialists for help.

Congratulations can be presented in the form of a lottery, where the hero of the occasion pulls out his present on his own. You can diversify their list with comic options, for example, "I give you a mug of berry tea" or "I give you the opportunity today not to wash the dishes" and so on.

Preparing a holiday for the birthday person is a mystery. Parents carefully recognize the list of desired guests, hand out invitations on their own. Guests come while the hero of the occasion is not at home. The young hero of the day, returning home, is unaware of the presence of guests there. He rings the doorbell, the parents open it, together with the guests they greet him with applause and whistling from festive whistles. Then everyone goes to the table.

After a short conversation, the presenter announces that a parcel was thrown at the door, where it is written "Dasha (or any other name) in person's hands, but do not open." A letter is attached to the parcel stating that the addressee is delayed and asks to film the assumptions of the participants in the celebration about the content. The video footage is subsequently stored in the family archive. The guests sniff the package, shake it and put forward their versions.

After that, the presenter carefully takes out a coded letter, which either smells pleasantly, which is a reflection of his mistress, or evokes horror (the appearance is associated with the image of the character who will come to congratulate in the future).

The letter may be as follows: “Dear friend, we met years ago ... ago (the time when the hero of the day first met the character). I then inspired you ... (remind about the first impressions of acquaintance). We are with you for a long time ... (note the relationship). On this significant day, I could not help but congratulate you, because ... (indicate the reason). Guess who I am? "

After a short guess, the guests are invited to unwind a little.

1. Competition "Dancing on the Ice". Participants stand on a sheet of A4 paper, their task is to dance an agile dance without tearing the paper off and leaving it.
2. Competition "Vodokhleb". The host says: “You are probably tired of thirst, the Vodokhleb competition is announced. Children come to a special table, where glasses with a small amount of liquid are waiting for them. The task of the participants is to empty the glass as quickly as possible. The winner receives a letter with a hint: “I am sure there is a great team of your friends at the party today. I ask everyone not to relax, eat well and gain positive emotions, since I need you for an important assignment. "
3. Contest "Fortify yourself". The task of the guys is to eat the proposed product without the help of hands. These can be fruits, vegetables, or sweets tied to a rope.
4. Game "Make way". The guys walk around the chairs to the accompaniment of music. As soon as the music stops, the children should sit down. Those who lacked space are eliminated from the game. There should always be 1 fewer chairs than players.
5. Game "Beauty Salon". Children are presented with blanks of paper dolls or typewriters. They need to create the necessary image on a separate sheet as quickly as possible.

By the end of the holiday, the character of the birthday boy, beloved from childhood, appears. He removes the gift paper from the box and takes out a birthday present and memorable gifts to guests. For more mystery, you can make a box that will open from all sides.
