Game for little scholars
Competitions and quizzes for children’s birthday do not have to be just fun. Schoolchildren have excellent computer skills, read informative articles and watch “smart” programs. Yes, and in many schools now teach children in an enhanced program. On a festive day, they absolutely will not mind boasting their intelligence. Riddles on various subjects will help them to do this.

Journey through a fabulous country
All children watch fairy tales and cartoons. You can come up with an exciting game where they need to guess the name of the tale. There are several options for creating such a quiz. For example, you can print several cards that depict famous heroes. The participant must write the card number on the sheet of paper, and on the contrary indicate the correct answer.
Option two - the presenter should say a phrase from the cartoon, and the children need to write its name in the order of priority. Or leading questions may be asked. Also, several people can depict a scene from a popular fairy tale, for this it is not at all necessary to dress up as heroes from it.
There can be a modern approach to such quizzes and competitions for primary school children. If the venue of the celebration has the appropriate equipment, then you can include an excerpt from the tape or musical accompaniment. Participants must guess what kind of cinematography creation is presented to them, and indicate the corresponding answer.
Another option is to use anagrams already known to us. It is necessary to rearrange the letters in the name of a fairy tale or cartoon, and children must match phrases and write the correct task.
At the end of the game, leaflets with answers are collected from everyone, a verdict is issued on who became the winner.
Team play
Young children are very fond of team competitions. Such games, quizzes and contests for children in the camp are often held. A small group of people is divided into several teams, each of which should consist of no more than 15 people. They themselves must come up with a name, motto and choose a team captain. Further it is necessary that each of them demonstrate a small idea. Assignments can be sporty and intellectual.
Each group of people needs to be seated at the “negotiation table”. They are given one big word, consisting of more than 8 letters. Their main task is to create small words using only these letters. The one with a larger list is the winner.
A huge number of sports relays can be invented: race racing, passing certain tests, football and much more. Such contests and quizzes for children held in the camp contribute to their unification and the creation of a friendly atmosphere. It is important that after their completion each participant receives a symbolic gift.
