At 12-year-old birthday competitions, the birthday boy and company are unlikely to jump in sacks and solve riddles in unison. Here we need a more serious program, for girls, for example, a beauty contest with the finalist of the birthday girl, for boys - with the main pirate - the birthday boy. Just think through all the stages.
Competition or master class?
Master classes are very popular now. If the holiday is held in a cafe, you can organize a competition for the best braided hairstyle. And if you are looking for competitions for your 12th birthday at home, you can start making gel candles with glitter, making soap; fortunately, there are now plenty of ready-made kits (with a base, dyes, flavors and molds) for children’s creativity. Children will be able to take their hearts and angels home as memorable souvenirs.
Souvenirs for parents
You can go further - make souvenirs for the parents of the guests, for example, an applique of black velvet paper “Cats”. Print out the drawings in advance and buy everyone the same frames. There are many ideas for such gifts - hand-painted plates (with special paints for ceramics), glass glasses decorated with rhinestones (glass glue is needed), small mirrors with a decorated wooden frame.
12 years old is not 10. Teenagers strive for independence in everything and have already completely learned to entertain themselves. Whether an adult will suit them as a leader must be discussed in advance. But your ideas and preparation of props will not hurt in any case.
golden goose
As an icebreaker, to warm up bored (waiting for late arrivals) guests, you can offer a fun game based on an old fairy tale, where everyone was glued to each other, and the ringleader was the golden goose. Children stand in a circle and each one, in turn, names any part of the body (nose, heel, etc.). After the signal, you need to stick to the neighbor on the left with this particular part. The place of attachment does not matter - the main thing is not to fall. 
Siamese twins
A more complicated version of the previous competition. Participants are divided into pairs and draw pre-prepared cards, on which it is written which parts (elbows, backs, heels, etc.) they are glued together. Then you need to tie scarves to each other. One pair performs, the rest observe the cleanliness of the experiment. The winner is the couple who adequately completed the most difficult task (tying handkerchiefs with their backs glued together, for example)
Cooking competition
While everyone is hungry, you can hold a culinary competition for the most (romantic, funny, strange, greedy). The products should already be cut, skewers and utensils should be prepared. Like the jury, with certain sympathies for the birthday boy. A beautiful design in the form of napkins originally folded by the author of the dish will complement the competition. You can assign numbers to the sandwiches, then the jury will be impartial.
Fashion show
And finally, you invite guests to the table. This moment can also be played out interestingly. You line up the children against the opposite wall and solemnly announce: “Baba Yaga, a famous yogi, an oriental dancer, a one-legged pirate, an ogre, a ballerina, the President of Russia, a bodybuilding champion, a supermodel, and a child who learned to walk today are invited to our name day.” There is no need to warn guests about the role in advance. Everyone, in accordance with the role they have received, must parade to the table in character and take their place.
Face painting
The Chinese calendar has a twelve-year cycle, and for the first time since birth, a child celebrates his birthday in his Year of the Tiger, Snake, Horse. In this regard, a holiday makeup contest would be appropriate. A photo collage of samples and crayons for drawings on the face and body must be prepared in advance, but the fantasy of transforming into a Monkey or Dragon is limitless for children. 
Snowman
Another art competition. You can play in teams. Players line up in a column one at a time (you can even sit at a table), and the last participant in the column is given a piece of paper with a simple drawing, for example, a snowman. He must depict it on the back of his neighbor. He tries to delve into the plot and pass on his feelings to the next person. When what is left of the snowman is applied to the back of the first one, he is given a piece of paper, and he must depict his feelings. As a rule, a snowman, like a broken phone, only has one bun left.
Video clip competition
Another birthday contest for 12 year old girls. Young stars like to appear in music videos. It’s very funny if suddenly someone in the frame emerges from somewhere on the side. They will find the music for their video themselves, trying to open their mouth, getting into the words of the song, but there are candles, balloons, rose petals, soap bubbles and confetti, as well as a bunch of clothes and a hair dryer for flying hair (what video can do without this now?) should be on the table with props for competitions.
Photoshoot
A birthday is not complete without a photo shoot. The competition for the funniest photo will be facilitated by computer special effects of the PhotoBooth program, transforming all parts of the body beyond recognition. In addition to makeup and clothes, false mustaches, bow sponges, glasses, wigs, and hats will also come in handy.
Air battle
Somehow we got carried away with the girly theme, but what about birthday contests for boys 12 years old at home, outdoors or in a cafe? Without a doubt, girls will also play this game with the same passion. Everyone makes an airplane (using the origami technique, folding paper), and now there’s a squadron. Now we prepare “bombs” by crumpling paper balls (you can put them in a basket). We choose the longest room, and the presenter launches airplanes, and the players all try to shoot them down at the same time. For the competition, you need to decide on the number of attempts and count the trophies.
Sea battle
A similar competition would be appropriate at a pirate party in honor of the birthday boy. Water is poured into basins of equal size, and lit floating candles - ships - are launched. Determine the distance from which you will extinguish them. If you're playing outdoors, you can use a flower spray bottle, but if you're playing indoors, maybe just blow it out, like on a cake?

Space combat
The “robot” on “another planet” is controlled from the “earthly center”. The “robots” (or “lunar rovers”) are blindfolded, with pins or other obstacles placed in front of them. At the “flight center” the “robot” must be controlled so that it successfully overcomes all obstacles. The choice of commands for the “robot” is limited: “left”, “right”, “forward”, “back”. With each command you can take one step. It's not just children who confuse left and right.
Swan geese
A simplified option for the youngest guests. A path leads to Baba Yaga's hut. You have to go to her at night (blindfolded) to pick up the toy that she stole. At the end of the path, you need to put a toy in the hut (hole, box). Few people manage to walk in a straight line blindfolded, even with hints.
Balloons
There are many balloons scattered on the floor. At the signal, all participants collect them, trying to capture as many as possible. After a set time, the number of balls is counted. The one who manages to hold the most number wins.
Balls-2
For those who like games with balls, this is another boyish game. Participants have their hands tied behind their backs (so that they do not interfere with the game). A balloon on a thread 30-40 cm long is tied to the leg at ankle level. At a signal, everyone tries to burst the opponent’s balloon with their foot, while protecting their own. If they are not filled to capacity, this is not so easy. To prevent the fun from ending in injury, provide players with sufficient playing space without sharp corners.
And what did you do there?
12 is not 10, although both children and adults play this game with passion. The signs are printed with the following inscriptions: “Director’s office”, “Dentist’s office”, “Bathhouse”, “Pension fund”, “Cinema”, “Shop”, “Toilet”, “Kindergarten”, “Desert island”, “Construction site”, “Zoo”, “Barbershop”, “Post Office”. The participant turns his back to the audience and one of the signs is attached to his back. The presenter asks the player questions (you cannot give monosyllabic answers like “yes” or “no”):
- Do you go there often? (every Monday, three times a week, rarely, but with pleasure).
- Do you like this place? (I still don’t fully understand, there are better ones).
- Who do you go there with?
- Which celebrities do you dream of seeing there?
- What three things do you always take there?
- What do you usually do there?
- Why did you choose this particular place for yourself?
When the player told how he goes to kindergarten with Dima Bilan, taking a toothbrush and laptop in order to eat pizza and practice ballet there, the next participant is called with a new sign.
Guess your prize
Another way not to leave guests without a gift is a toy guessing contest. Small gifts (safe, without sharp corners) are placed in a bag and children, without looking, feeling the selected item with one hand, must guess their prize. The one who guesses it immediately takes it.
Hello to all readers of my holiday blog. Today I am sharing my impressions about the birthday of a 12-year-old girl. Yes, sure! This is not just a girl, but my Katyusha!
Perhaps some ideas will be useful to you too.
Competitions and scenarios for the birthday of a 12-year-old girl:
I don’t know about your guests, but our little girls will no longer jump in bags, pop balloons and solve riddles in unison. Therefore, we chose creative activities, which, by the way, gave enough reasons to laugh. But…
If you want to conduct an entertainment program, there is a lot of interesting information on my website:
Can add:
Before the start of the feast, the young chefs fantasized about “Canapés” (the ideas were taken from my selection - recipes with photos). I prepared skewers, products and ideas in advance. Everyone received prizes for the most beautiful (funny, original, strange, romantic, “greedy” and “eaten by someone”) masterpieces! Here's what I gave them for their culinary creativity:
Competition: make your own canapes! Children over 8 years old can do it easily!
Turning 12 is no ordinary birthday! This is their year according to the Chinese calendar. I bought children's paints for drawings on the face and body, showed where you can see examples of drawings of Dragons (you draw your symbol according to the horoscope). The young makeup artists were captivated for about 40 minutes! You will need crayons for drawings on the face and hands.
More girls I enjoyed filming the video. They chose the songs themselves, but I picked out the candles, soap bubbles and a bunch of clothes to change into for the holiday.
They took music from their favorite collections (each had a bunch of collections on social networks :-), I did not interfere with this at all). What they liked best was blowing their hair with a hairdryer. Apparently, not a single modern video can do without this effect.
If you wish, you can take it. True, they use phrases from old films that girls at 12 years old may not know, but they can be replaced with proverbs or just funny expressions and VKontakte statuses :-).
Always a success photoshoot. This time, however, we added computer special effects. Everyone's stomach hurt from laughing!
The program is installed on our laptop Photo Booth. Katya did not agree to show what happened on the blog :-). I'll try to describe...
Huge noses, thin necks, bifurcation and disarray of all parts of the face, twisting of the portrait clockwise, rotation and flattening. People... This is very funny!
They changed their outfits, painted incredible arrows on their eyes, hearts on their cheeks and nose with skin paints. Lying on a mountain of soft toys, sitting on top of each other, wearing glasses, mustaches and wigs. The camera fell from laughter 2 times.
Funny glasses Available in almost all holiday online stores:
Another cool idea. Master classes at birthdays are very popular now, even for adults. Event organizers charge a lot of money for 30-40 minutes of creative entertainment for guests. Why are we worse!!!
I tell you what our girls like. Soap making is a great success. We've had a set for a long time, but we haven't gotten around to it. And it was boring for Katya to do it alone. And then she and her friends made a bunch of little colored hearts and angels. There is the base, dyes, molds, flavors - EVERYTHING! When the soap hardened, the guests had already left, so my daughter gave it away the next day.
You can also make gel candles... With glitter. It’s also better to buy ready-made sets!
As souvenir for parents
this time there was a panel with cats cut out of black velvet paper. I prepared the drawings (printed them from the Internet), provided them with scissors and pencils. I bought the same frames. 
Girls always took such gifts from our children's parties. These were small mirrors in wooden frames with painting, dishes(we used paints for ceramics), glass goblets with rhinestones(special glue for glass). Fascinating, beautiful!
Here's an idea that I didn't use this time, but implemented when our girls entered 6th grade on September 1st. I stuck it in the cake candles that cannot be blown out
(my little trick that they didn't know about...) Look how much fun they had! 🙂

Groceries are brought by parents, and treats can also be ordered at the restaurant (located in the same building).
Additionally, you can organize a disco and invite the host to play with the children.
Organizing a party for kids is not difficult; just invite animators dressed in costumes of your favorite characters, call your little guests and prepare a delicious treat. But everything is not so simple if the child has already grown up and his interests are completely different. It is best to organize a program with competitions for the birthday of a 12-year-old child.
Theme parties
When a holiday has a theme, it’s easier to come up with games and competitions. At the age of 12, a child is already considered a teenager (or almost a teenager), so completely childish themes for the celebration are not suitable. But you can take these:
- math party,
- Japanese, Hawaiian, etc.,
- floral,
- forest,
- sea,
- in the style of your favorite book or movie characters, etc.
It is the last option that is used most often. At the age of 12, children are no longer very interested in cartoons. You can take as a basis films about Harry Potter or some superheroes, the book “The Wizard of the Emerald City,” books by Kir Bulychev, etc. Both boys and girls will be captivated by this. Birthday contests for 12 years in this case can be associated with the theme.
"Find the Horcrux" (for a Harry Potter themed party)
Children are captivated by the search itself, and if the notes are stylized as parchment scrolls, they will like it even more. The item they are looking for in this case should be Tom Riddle's diary, cup, tiara, ring, etc. - those items that were called horcruxes in the book.
- Objects are hidden in different parts of the apartment - then they are left for guests as prizes.
- To find this item, children are given notes that indicate where to look for the next clue.
- The next clue could also be a note or verbal message from another adult who is sitting in another room.
- The kids go through 5-7 places in this way and eventually find what they were looking for.
This must be done for a while - whoever completed the task first wins.
"Yellow Brick Road" (for the "Wizard of Oz" theme)
Interesting birthday competitions for 12 years will be continued by a relay race, where two participants perform various tasks for a while. A yellow path is made on the floor. To do this, glue double-sided tape, and on it - “bricks” of yellow cardboard. Tasks for participants should be invented based on the fairy tale “The Wizard of the Emerald City”:
- blindfolded, attach a cardboard or fabric heart to the Tin Woodman (you can take a large soft toy or make a model out of cardboard);
- fill the Scarecrow with straw - for this they use a regular canvas bag, and use finely chopped newspaper as straw;
- walk through a poppy field - run around pre-prepared paper flowers in a zigzag.
There may be more obstacles, but this requires, of course, a spacious room. And it’s best not to hold such competitions for a 12-year-old’s birthday at home, but to arrange them outside, if, of course, the weather permits.
For girls
It often happens that on her 12th birthday a girl invites only her friends. In such cases, competitions and games should be designed for a small female team.
My own stylist
All girls love to dress up, so they should like this competition:
- A wide variety of clothes (large tights, scarves, hats, T-shirts, etc.) should be placed in opaque bags according to the number of participants.
- In the allotted time, everyone must put together an outfit for themselves on a specific theme: for walking the dog, for flying to the moon, etc.
- The participants arrange a fashion show, the best one is determined by the birthday girl or by secret vote.
The winner of the fashion show is awarded a prize - children's cosmetics, jewelry, some stylish accessory.
Experimental arts
For such a competition you will need good drawing markers and pieces of old wallpaper. It is not at all necessary to be able to draw in this competition.
- We need to set some theme for the drawing.
- Time it.
- Ask to draw a picture with your left foot.
To make the competition more difficult, you can also blindfold yourself. As the theme of the drawing, choose something simple, but related to the holiday - a birthday cake, a bunch of balloons, etc.
"Guess the singer"
12 years is the age when girls are passionate about music and their first favorite performers appear, so this game will certainly become one of the favorite entertainments at the holiday. Girls may want to play this game for a little longer, so it's a good idea to prepare thoroughly. What needs to be done to carry it out?
- Print out as many photographs of famous performers as possible (the ones girls love the most).
- Show one of the participants a photo.
- The girl must explain to her friends who is shown in the photo, without mentioning his name or the songs the singer (or singer) performs.
There is another option, in which the participant does not explain, but shows others who the person in the photo is, but silently.
In addition to competitions for a girl’s 12th birthday, you can also arrange fortune telling. Just don't take it too seriously. It is enough to draw a circle divided into sectors on a large sheet of paper. In each sector, write the answer to the question (“yes”, “no”, “yes, but not now”, etc.). The girls take turns asking questions and throwing a magic button (ordinary, but big and beautiful), which will indicate the answer.
For boys
Boys, as a rule, prefer outdoor games and competitions for dexterity, reaction and intelligence. These include almost all relay races, pillow fights, deciphering secret messages, etc.
Signaling
Spy games are one of the favorite activities of boys. “Alarm” is a game just from this series, guests should be interested in:
- In the room you need to stretch the ropes in different planes.
- Hang a small bell on each one.
- The task is to climb through all the ropes without the bell ringing.
The winner is the one who makes it all the way in the shortest time.
Attention, sausage!
Such a competition gives the boys the opportunity to warm up and demonstrate their reaction and attentiveness:
- All participants stand in a circle.
- The presenter (better if it is an adult) assigns a certain movement to a word: “sausage” - hands on the belt, “harm” - sit down, “karapuz” - jump, etc.
- The task is that when the presenter says “attention, sausage” (little one, little one), you need to make a certain movement.
- The presenter himself must make the wrong movements and thereby distract the participants.
Those who are inattentive are eliminated, and the one who remains last wins.
Downed pilot
The game is simple, but so fun that it can captivate not only boys, but also girls. And also some adults:
- Participants are divided into 2 teams.
- Airplanes are made from paper.
- The first team will launch airplanes, and the second will try to shoot them down using balls of crumpled paper.
The winner is the team that either shot down more planes, or, conversely, saved them.
Among the competitions for a boy's 12th birthday there may be a relay race, if there are enough participants and the premises allow it. Then the boys are divided into two teams and an obstacle course is arranged for them. The task can be made more complicated: walk the strip with your eyes closed, holding a balloon between your legs, carrying a plastic cup filled to the brim with water, etc.
In general, when choosing entertainment for a child’s birthday, you need to take into account his character and his tastes. Not everyone likes to run and jump; many prefer quiet games, for example, “Broken Phone” or quizzes. It is better to choose topics for quizzes from those that are closest to the interests of the birthday person.
Funny children's, active competitions for birthdays!
The happiest day for a mother, a day that cannot be forgotten, is the birthday of her child. However, the older the baby gets, the more troublesome this holiday can be for parents. However, these efforts are pleasant. A gift for the birthday boy and colorful invitations for his guests, a cake with candles and lots and lots of balloons, pick up games and entertainment for the kids... It seems like nothing has been forgotten. To help you a little, we have collected the most interesting birthday contests for children here! And you don’t need to look for anything!
Game “Bird Market”
(children's competitions are good both for school and for a child's birthday)
This is an Italian competition for teenagers. Six to eight people play. One player is the seller, the other is the buyer. The rest squat down and cover their knees with their hands. They're chickens. The buyer approaches the seller and asks: “Are there any chickens for sale?” - “How not to be, there is.” - “Can I take a look?” - "Please". The buyer comes behind the chickens and touches them one by one: “I don’t like this one, he’s too old,” “This one is wiry,” “This one is skinny,” etc. And finally, touching the selected chicken, he says: “I’ll buy this one.” The seller and buyer lift the chicken by both elbows into the air, swing it and say: “You are a good chicken. Don’t unclasp your arms and don’t laugh.” If the chosen chicken starts smiling or laughing or opens his arms, he is eliminated from the game.
Competition “Shot put”
(A fun children's competition not only for schoolchildren and teenagers)
An inflated balloon is placed on the edge of the table. The driver is blindfolded and placed with his back to the table. Then he takes 5 steps forward and turns in place three times. Next, he must return to the table and blow the ball onto the floor. Most likely, he will lose the right direction and will blow the ball away from where there is no trace of it. It will be very funny!
A kopeck saves the ruble
To play you will need small coins and several small cups. Participants are divided into teams with the same number of players. According to the number of teams, piggy bank cups are placed at the finish line. Each team lines up one behind the other.
A coin is placed on the toe of the first team member. The player tries to carry it from the start line to the finish line (three to four meters) without dropping it and throw it into the “piggy bank.” The participant who drops the coin is eliminated from the game. For each coin that lands in the cup, the team is awarded one point. The team with the most points wins.
Game "Mirror"
The participants of the game are divided into two teams. One person from each team stands at a distance of three steps from the ball lying in the middle. The task of one of the players is to approach the ball, grab it and take it to him, the task of the other is to protect the ball.
Rules of the game: The one who approaches the ball must make various movements around it: crouch, turn his back to the ball, even move away from it. And the defender must, like a mirror, repeat everything that the enemy does, and at the same time be on alert. He can also bully his opponent before he takes one step away from the ball. All pairs play in turns, the players of the first team “take” the ball, the players of the second team defend it. In the second round, the teams switch roles. The one with the most points wins.
“Find a shoe”
Preparation. Two or more teams of 10-15 players remove their shoes and place them in a pile 15 steps in front of them. The shoes should be well mixed so that from afar no one can recognize theirs. A game. Both teams line up and the first player in line runs to the pile and looks for his shoes. When he finds it, he puts it on and runs back to his team. The next player in line does the same, and so on until all team members are once again wearing shoes. The game is most interesting when the players' shoes are not varied!
"Ribbon Pair"
(competitions for teenagers on February 14, pairs)
The presenter invites 5 boys and 5 girls to go on stage. They stand around him. The leader has 10 ribbons clutched in his fist, the ends of which hang freely in different directions, but their middles are mixed up. A bow is tied at one end of each ribbon. The presenter invites all participants to take hold of these ends; the girls need to choose those ends on which bows are tied. On the count of “One, two, three,” the presenter unclenches his fist, and all participants disperse around the hall. The first couple to unravel wins. Thus, each ribbon “tied” the pair with its ends.
Game with adjectives - Birthday greetings to a child

"Who is faster"
The guests are divided into two teams, each with a participant. They receive a large box and a matching set of items. Task: put the items in the box and close it as quickly as possible. With each new participant, the box becomes smaller, and the items are larger or more difficult to pack. But keep in mind that you must try in advance whether the items fit into the container. The team whose members complete the job faster and do their job better wins.
“Egg Basketball”
The game involves teams of three or more participants, who are given raw eggs and one basket each. Team members must take turns getting an egg into the basket. The team that manages to throw the most eggs into the basket wins this competition.
“Dance with a lid”
To play, you will need an ordinary pan lid. Participants divide into pairs, clamp the lid of a saucepan between them and begin to dance to fast music. They must dance so that the lid does not fall, and if this does happen, the couple is eliminated from the game. The remaining couples continue to compete until the winner.
“Reel it quickly”
For this game you need to prepare two spools and threads 3 - 5 m long. A mark is made in the middle of the thread - with paint or a knot. The players stand opposite each other, holding a spool in their hands so that the thread is taut. On command, they begin to quickly wind the thread onto the spool, all the time getting closer to each other. The first one to reach the middle of the string wins.
Sound engineer
This game requires sound accompaniment, and here you cannot do without special devices. To do this, immediately find objects that can become sources of different characteristic sounds. A baking sheet and a metal spoon, ski boots and a board, clean tin cans, a saucepan with a lid filled with dry peas, a whistle and more will do.
Also, have a tape recorder and a blank cassette ready. Now you are ready to make a radio show. Tell us, for example, “The Tale of Good and Evil.” It might start like this:
“One day we were wandering through the forest and suddenly heard someone’s steps. (Put your hands into your shoes, and then move them heavily and slowly along the board). At first the footsteps were quiet but gradually became louder and louder. (You know how to do this). I turned around and saw a huge bear. I froze in fear, and then thunder struck. (Hit the pan several times with a spoon). I looked at the sky, from which large drops of rain were falling (shake a can of dry peas), and the bear opened his umbrella and walked away...”
Turn on the microphone and get down to business.
Transformations
Everything and everyone turns into something else, but not with the help of words, but with the help of determining the appropriateness of actions. The room turns into a forest. Then the participants become trees, animals, birds, lumberjacks, etc. And if to the station, it means to a suitcase, a train, passengers. And if in the studio - as announcers, TV cameramen, “pop stars”, etc. At the same time, someone can create noise, depict props, etc.
Discoverer
First, participants are invited to “discover” a new planet - inflate balloons as quickly as possible, and then “Populate” this planet with inhabitants - quickly draw little figures of people on the balloon with felt-tip pens. Whoever has more “inhabitants” on the planet is the winner.
Fun competition
You will need: an empty (glass) bottle, thread and pens (pencils).
1) tie a thread to your waist.
2) tie a pen (pencil) to the remaining end (15-20cm).
3) stand over the bottle (push the pen (pencil) slightly once and try to insert the end of the pen (pencil) into the neck of the bottle.
