- prepare more props: children love to dress up, change clothes, draw, turn into fairy-tale characters;
- alternate calm activities with fun relay races;
- learn more about the friends of your son or daughter, ask about their preferences;
- win-win option - a theme party with original costumes;
- refuse competitions in which participants will feel awkward (humiliated). Do not allow the results of the competition to be divided into stupid and smart, quiet and activists, clumsy and jacks of all trades. Entertainment should cause joy, laughter, not ridicule;
- prepare prizes. The main thing: attention, not the price of a gift. The award must be age appropriate;
- think over two or three competitions in which there are no winners: all children receive gifts for participation. A prerequisite for babies aged 3-4 years;
- invite all young guests to participate;
- prepare a script, write the names of the competitions on the sheet, short description to easily navigate which task to offer;
- think of entertainment, taking into account the size of the room. If there is not too much space, if possible, remove excess furniture, unnecessary things, and fragile decor on the day of the holiday. It is easier to hold sports competitions in a large room: use this advantage.

GAME FOR CHILDREN AT HOME: Who is the leader?
At least six players must participate in the game, one of the players leaves the room. At this time, the rest sit in a circle and choose a leader. The facilitator makes simple movements, such as clapping his hands, shaking his head, shaking his fists in the air, etc. The rest of the players must repeat the movements of the leader and, as quickly as possible, perform new movements after him.
Now the player who left the door returns and becomes the center of the circle. His job is to find out who's in charge. This is not at all easy, because while he is looking at the leader, he will not make new movements. When the leader is found, he must leave the room, and the players choose a new leader.

He has the right to touch the player and, if he cannot guess, ask him to say something (depict an animal - meow, squeak, bark, crow, etc.).
If the leader does not recognize the child, he leads the second time.

Our best friends- books
Read books to your child. Using the characters in the books as an example, teach him to take care of his loved ones, behave correctly, help others, and think about the consequences of his actions. Ask questions: “Why did it happen, did this boy behave well, what should have been done?”. Help your child draw conclusions: you need to share what you have, help others, be able to make friends, etc.
The choice of children's books is now extremely large. You probably remember your favorite books as a child. These can be, for example, books by 3. Alexandrova (“The Invisible Woman”), L. Voronkova (“What Mom Would Say”), E. Blaginina (“Let's Sit in Silence”), L. Vasilyeva-Gangus (“The ABC of Courtesy”) , B. Zakhoder (“The Gray Star”), N. Sladkova (“Without hesitation, or Zhaleikin’s Affairs and Cares”), G. Shalaeva (“The Big Book of Rules of Conduct for Well-Brought Up Children”), poems for children by V. Mayakovsky ("What is good and what is bad?").
Evening tale
Even if the child did not always behave well during the day, in the late afternoon, when the excitement subsides, it is time to talk about what happened. Do not turn this into arguments and lectures. Tell a fairy tale about the good (bad) behavior of children and its consequences. You will come up with the most suitable story for yourself. Its plot is quite simple. The main characters are animals or dolls. Any place of action is chosen - a forest, a box of toys, Wonderland, lake. Build the plot so that it looks like an incident with a child. Remember, fairy tales always end well. For example, if a kid took away toys from other children, a fairy tale may turn out to be something like the following.
“Animals were playing in a forest clearing under an old tree. The bear rolled the car, the chanterelles built a tower of cubes, and the hare assembled a pyramid. Suddenly, a wolf cub appeared under a tree. He destroyed the tower that the chanterelles built, and took away the car from the bear. The animals looked at the wolf cub and said: “We won’t play with you, you are angry, you offend us.” They collected their toys and went to play in another clearing, and the wolf cub was left alone. He became very bored, he had no one to play with ".
Be sure to add your comment: “You see what happens when you offend others. Nobody wants to play with you. You have to be kind!"
Together with your child, make a memo of rules of conduct. It can be anything: written, in pictures, combined from words and pictures. Choose reminder points based on the characteristics of your child. If he is impolite to others, include the item “Speak polite words - “thank you”, “goodbye” in the memo. If the child is a fighter, write: "Be peaceful." For a reminder, choose clear instructions on how to act, what to be. Try to keep within 7-8 points.
Beautifully design the memo, hang it in a conspicuous place. Each time you follow the rules, draw stars on it or stick stickers on it. For a certain number of stars (for example, 20), reward your child: play your favorite game with him, give him a book or new pencils. Do not forget to note that the child is well done, his behavior pleases you. Follow the written rules yourself.

In this competition, each of the guests of the holiday has the opportunity to feel like a turtle. So, the guests are divided into teams with the same number of people. At the same distance from the teams there are bowls with goodies (cookies or sweets in the amount equal to the number of team members). The first participants are given basins (bowls). On the “start” command, the first participants get on all fours and put the basin on their backs and set off on their way to their goal (to the bowl of treats), take one treat and back to their team, pass the basin and baton to the next participant. The team that can go faster like a turtle and grab their treats will be the winner.

A package of ice cream for everyone and a special ice cream spoon for each participant. On the “start” command, each participant on his plate with a spoon puts a ball of ice cream on the ball, trying to make the highest snowman. Whoever manages to build the tallest birthday snowman in a minute will receive a prize.
