• take into account the age of the guests, select tasks that the birthday boy and friends can easily cope with;
• 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.

Advice! Be sure to consult with your child. Of course, the holiday should be a surprise, but many children are happy to participate in organizing the celebration, offer interesting solutions. Make props together, think over contests. Don't scoff if your child's suggestions seem naive or too simple. If the son or daughter is sure that his friends will be delighted, include the task in the list.

Poem about playing ball at recess(written by Svetlana Vetryakova especially for the site)

To have fun playing
You need to pump up the ball.
And boys and girls
The ball is hit loudly.

real athletes
Run for a change.
They will jump and jump
And chase each other.

We will inflate the ball deftly
You just need to have a knack.
Press harder
Run away quickly!

Different games with a ball
We'll definitely start.
And in the "Frog", and in the "Dog",
In "Brook", and in "Quick Ball".

Ran to the turn
Rolled over the gate.
Jumped across the yard
Escaped over the fence.

Spinning fast, flying!
Who will catch him now?
Hurry catch up
And tell your neighbor.

Multi-colored bright ball
Jumps briskly without hesitation.
Stop running around having fun
We need to go study!

We inflated a huge ball,
Played and rested.
It's time for us to get back to class.
We have classes there.

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.
