Entertainment scenario "a journey into the world of experiences and experiments." Children's birthday party on the theme: Little Einsteins
Is it your child's birthday? Are you looking for a clown and balloons? Are you sure this will be interesting for children? But I'm starting to doubt it! Of course, a talented clown can surprise and make even adults laugh. But let's come up with something more original and at the same time useful and educational for a children's party!
Wonders of science, funny experiments, a magical laboratory with funny scientists - all this will certainly arouse children's interest! Create an educational holiday for the kids with real scientific experiments that are absolutely safe and so exciting. Recommended Scenario children's day birth for children 7-12 years old.
Thematic decoration of a children's party
To decorate a children's party, we will choose the most bright colors and icons, symbols from a chemistry textbook, associated with science, experimental laboratory. And, of course, for decoration we need toy white mice, test tubes,
When decorating the table, it is better to give preference to unusual snacks and desserts: blue and green drinks, colored jelly, bags of marmalade of the most unusual shapes.
As an invitation, you can take the idea of a personalized pass to a secret laboratory. Children will also be happy if they are given a uniform and undergo a rite of passage to become secret scientists.
Games and entertainment for children's party Little Einsteins
To realize the idea of a holiday with scientific experiments, it is best to invite animators with a suitable program. But you can also purchase a ready-made set for experiments that can be carried out with children.
Parents can be presenters and act as eccentric scientists. You will need white robe, glasses and a suitcase with props. You can add a mustache like Einstein’s and a funny giant watch on a chain to your look.
You can divide this time into 3 parts:
A fascinating one-hour program with fun experiments, scientific discoveries, in which your children will participate;
Outdoor games;
Delicious change.
You can start the program by initiating children into secret employees of the experimental laboratory. The tests may include: a quiz on various natural phenomena, learning and performing a dance in which the secret code to open a laboratory. Children can find it interesting to solve charades and puzzles, build logical chains, and also active games with the ball “Edible - not edible”, and, of course, participation in real experiments.
Scientific experiments and experiments for children at home
Mix liquids of different densities and colors.
Pour 1 part water, 1 part sunflower oil, 1 part syrup bright color. Children can observe the magical distribution of liquid through layers.
Use ready-made kits to conduct such science experiments for children. The holiday will be not only fun, but also educational!
Don't forget about the photographer children's party, which will capture this unusually fun and interesting day as a memory.
Target: Development cognitive activity in the process of children's experimentation.
Tasks:
- Expanding children's understanding of the world around them through familiarization with the basic physical properties and phenomena.
- Cultivating children's interest in experimental activities.
- Creating an emotionally positive attitude in children.
Materials: plastic bottle, soda, raisins, corn kernels, balls, soda, vinegar, plastic bottle, disposable spoons, plate, milk, liquid soap, cotton swabs, paints, magnets, paper clips, cardboard, transparent containers with water, felt-tip pens, white paper napkins .
The children are met by the presenter - Wonder Woman (a group of children from 10 to 15 people).
Wonder Woman: Hello, dear guys. We are glad to welcome you to our scientific laboratory “Academy of Miracles”. Today you and I will learn how to create miracles, and at the end of the training you will receive diplomas from our academy (shows and places on the table). A robe and a cap will help us create miracles.
Children, with the help of their parents, put on robes and hats. At this time, Dyudyuka appears in the class and takes his diplomas.
Dyudyuka: Hee-hee-hee, get dressed, get dressed!.. And here are the diplomas!
Wonder Woman: Guys, it’s Dyudyuka, she took our diplomas. What to do? Dyudyuka, give us our diplomas, please!
Dyudyuka: I will give them to you only if you complete my tasks.
Wonder Woman: We will complete all the tasks, right, guys?
Dyudyuka: Well, okay. Make the raisins and corn dance.
Experience No. 1"Raisins and corn dance in soda"
For the experiment you will need: a plastic bottle, soda, raisins, corn kernels.
Pour the carbonated drink into the flask. Throw raisins and corn kernels into a flask with soda.
The result: raisins and corn kernels drown in water. But if you place them in a carbonated liquid, they will first drown, but then the gas bubbles, rising up, will carry them along with them. Having reached the surface, the bubbles burst and the corn kernels with raisins fall back to the bottom of the flask.
Dyudyuka (dissatisfied): Indeed, they are dancing. Okay, then blow up the balloon without using your mouth, using a bottle.
Wonder Woman: Guys, I know what to do.
Experience No. 2“Let’s inflate a balloon using a bottle”
For the experiment you will need: balls, soda, vinegar, plastic bottle, disposable spoons.
First to empty plastic bottle pour in about half a glass of vinegar. Then pour baking soda into the ball. Place the balloon on the neck of the bottle. Carefully and firmly holding the ball at the neck, turn it over. Baking soda falls into vinegar, and a violent storm begins chemical reaction, reminiscent of a volcanic eruption. It stands out carbon dioxide, creating pressure that inflates the balloon.
Dyudyuka: And we completed this task! But you definitely won’t be able to cope with the next one. Draw a picture without using paper.
Wonder Woman: Well, let's try.
Experience No. 3 " Drawing on milk"
For the experiment you will need: a plate, milk, liquid soap, cotton swabs and paints.
Pour milk into a plate. Add a few drops of paint into the milk. Dip cotton swabs in liquid soap and immerse them in a plate of milk.
Bottom line: when you add paint to milk, beautiful paint spills form on the surface. When liquid soap is added, the paint becomes striped and forms unexpected patterns on the surface of the milk.
Miracle Girl: And now it’s a break in our “Academy of Miracles”. I suggest a warm-up.
Musical game “The deer has a big house.”
Wonder Woman: Is everyone rested? Well, Dyudyuka, will you give us our diplomas?
Dyudyuka: I won’t think so. You haven't completed all the tasks yet. Remove the paperclip from the glass without getting your hands wet.
Experience No. 4"Get a paperclip"
For the experiment you will need: a transparent glass of water, a magnet and paper clips.
Swipe outer wall cup with a magnet and remove the paperclip.
Dyudyuka: What?! And they did it? Well then, then... “revive” this paper clip.
Wonder Woman: Nothing is simpler!
Experience No. 5: "Live Paper Clip"
For the experiment you need: cardboard, magnet, paper clip
Place the cardboard on the magnet and a paper clip on top of the cardboard. Move the magnet and your paperclip will come to life.
Dyudyuka: I didn’t expect such smart people to study at your “Academy”. Then it will not be difficult for you to make the water flow upward and a rainbow to appear in the room.
Wonder Woman: It's simple, look...
Experience No. 6"Water Flows Up", "Rainbow"
For the experience you will need: plastic cups with water, markers, white paper napkin.
Make dots at the bottom of the napkin with felt-tip pens and place the tip of the napkin in the water. Before your eyes, a colorful rainbow will appear on a white napkin.
Wonder Woman: Well, Dyudyuka, are you convinced? Can our students create miracles? Give us your diplomas please.
Dyudyuka (whining): I’ll give you your diplomas, but what will be left for me?
Wonder Woman: We will give you a diploma too. Guys, training at our academy is over, let me present you with your diplomas.
Presentation of diplomas.
Wonder Woman: Please take off your caps and gowns, until we meet again!
For her 11th birthday, Leah “ordered” a scientific birthday. The name came immediately - “NIICHAVO” (according to the Strugatskys), but the content took a little longer.
The invitations were issued in the form of a standard booklet advertising a private company ( ready-made template). On the cover is the inscription: “ NIICHAVO. Everything will be all right, or maybe all right, but for sure it will be!" There was a lot of information inside (still 3 sheets!).
1. Scientific

Experiences
NIICHAVO is a cool laboratory for curious people.
The activity is based on the question: “What will happen if...”
2. NIICHAVO laboratory invites you **.**.2011 to the Open Day. You will have the opportunity to conduct a couple of extremely relevant experiments, arrange an explosive experiment (one) and learn a lot of interesting and instructive things.
3. Starts at 12.00.
Clearing debris - 15.00
Venue: NIICHAVO
Address
Tel.
Carrying out
All arrivals were given badges with the inscription “NIICHAVO”.
Conducted a brief safety briefing (follow instructions strictly, do not taste anything, make every effort and do not destroy the apartment).
Then there was a test of intelligence.
The children were asked to cut a strip of paper into 3 parts, making only 1 cut.
Everyone did it surprisingly easily (it took me longer to think about it) - everyone just folded the strip and “ chick!" Here are 3 parts for you.
After this, the practical part began.
I would like to note that the children were not interested in the scientific aspect of the experiment itself (tension, density, etc.), they were exclusively interested in the effect.
They are 11 years old, they study neither physics nor chemistry, and have little interest in the laws of the universe. But they liked mixing and adding so much that a month later, parents were still saying that their children demanded that they be provided with the necessary ingredients at home..
Experience No. 1
Pour water into the glass all the way to the rim. Cover the top with thin cardboard (part of a cereal box is ideal) and, holding the paper with your palm, quickly turn the glass over. Now remove your palm.
Will water spill out of the glass? What if there is less water?
How much water does it take for it to pour out?
We compare and discuss the results.
Experience No. 2
Pour whole milk into a plate.
Carefully apply a drop of liquid food coloring different colors to the middle.
Lower cotton swab into the dishwashing liquid, and then gently touch the milk.
Experience No. 3
Inflate and deflate the balloons in advance.
At the party, pour Coca-Cola into each balloon, tie the balloon and shake it.
What will happen? Why?
Experience No. 4
Pour vegetable oil in a tall glass with a stem.
And put a little alcohol solution in a bowl (you can use vodka). Take a pipette and carefully add the solution drop by drop into the oil. What's happening? How long can the solution be added?
Experience No. 5
Pour some water (preferably colored) into a plate.
Place a coin and ask who can take the coin without getting their hands wet.
After listening to the versions, say that you can do it.
Place a tea (heating) candle in a plate and light it.
Cover the candle with a glass so that it touches the bottom of the plate.
The water will be sucked into the glass and you will easily remove the coin without getting your hands wet.
Give everyone a chance to try.
Experience No. 6
I copied this experience from my script for Harry Potter.
There were a lot of questions at that time, so I’ll describe the preparation in more detail.
Take red cabbage (and only red cabbage), cut.
Add to boiling water (ideally distilled, but you can also simply filter it). After a minute, remove from heat and let stand for 30 minutes.
Strain.
Pour water over different vessels. Add whatever comes to mind.
Lemon juice , vinegar will turn the water bright red.
Try adding Orange juice And sour milk . Add to another container alkali - soda, washing powder, liquid bath cleaner.
Soda supposedly makes the solution blue, and ammonia- green, but...
Imagine, everyone’s solutions turned out different! Inexplicable, but cool.
Experience No. 7
Take wooden, plastic and metal spoons and a straw.
Attach a bead to each spoon using a piece of butter at the same height. Place the spoons in a measuring cup and add about 7cm of hot water.
What will happen? Why?
Experience No. 8
Take a small piece of cardboard and, holding it in front of a lit candle, blow it.
What will happen to the flame?
Bring the ends of the cardboard together and secure with paper clips without bending the middle.
Place the paper clips on the candle and blow again.
What happens to the flame now?
Experience No. 9
Pour into a large glass one by one sweet syrup, glycerol, colored water, vegetable oil, tinted alcohol.
Pour carefully around the rim of the glass and allow the liquid to settle before adding more.
What happened?
« Beauty!“- one boy said dreamily.
Experience No. 10
It is better to do this experiment last - it is very popular, takes a lot of time and requires a lot of cleanup after.
Everyone prepares their own guu.
To do this you need to mix starch and cold water(400 grams and one and a half cups, but it’s better to experiment by adding water a little at a time). Then add dye and...
Some people start having fun (children), while others watch what is happening in horror (parents). I hasten to reassure you - everything can be cleaned perfectly with a vacuum cleaner (from the carpet) and a rag (from oilcloth).
Goo is neither a liquid nor a solid.
You can make balls out of it, and if you put the ball on your palm, the goo turns into liquid and flows. It was the hit of the evening.
And then there was cake and a discussion of the results. The children were delighted.
The best compliment was the phrase “ Leah, it cost me a lot to come here, but it was worth it!" The only negative is that the photographs are not very attractive: well, they are flasks and flasks, and the moment of “transformation” itself is very difficult to capture.

Visiting Archimedes
(birthday scenario for growing children)
My daughter turned 10 this year, and this is the age when pirates, searching for maps and treasure in a chest are no longer inspiring. Therefore, we decided to focus on an “adult” topic - natural science experiments and experiments. The key character was Archimedes, he led us along the path of learning the secrets of the world around us.
I have always been fascinated by the idea of Tanya Lavrenova’s holiday “The Mystery of the Montgolfier Brothers,” so our scientific research smoothly turned to the task of lifting off the ground using a balloon. I thought for a long time and painfully about how to connect Archimedes with aeronautics, until I discovered the magic words in one encyclopedia: “ The lifting force of a balloon is created by gas (or heated air) enclosed in the shell with a density less than the density of the surrounding air (according to Archimedes' law)" And everything immediately fell into place.
And as a form we used Tatyana’s idea from “The Day of Mysteries and Tests” and her outstanding computer program.
So many thanks to both Tatyanas for their ideas and inspiration!
In total, 10 children took part in the holiday, of which 8 were 10 years old, one was a little older and one was a couple of years younger. This time we were at home (and not outdoors, as usual), because... They constantly used all kinds of equipment, and the experiments required “home” conditions.
Guests were given stylized invitations in advance with a manly Archimedean profile on the cover.
We started the holiday by watching the cartoon “Kolya, Olya and Archimedes” - a kind of Soviet history about the pioneers' journey to Ancient world and practical comprehension of Archimedes' law. In our case, it was an introduction to the topic.
Using Movie Maker, I inserted the credits at the end:
"Attention! Insert paper into the printer immediately! You have a letter from Archimedes."
The letter was, of course, sent to the printer in advance, so as soon as the paper was inserted, the printer printed the message. I will not give it in full, but its essence boiled down to the fact that Archimedes, from the depths of centuries, addresses children and invites them into the world of physical laws. He will communicate with them using a computer, for which they need to find the “Archimedes” file on the desktop and launch it (the same program by Tatyana P.). And as an assistant, he sends his student and friend Doctor Grigorius (our dad Grisha, wrapped in a white sheet, a real physicist) to them.
The children quickly found the file and launched the program (of course, with changes previously made to it). The greeting sounded like this:
« Today you will find experiments, tasks, experiments and tests. After each experiment you will have to answer my question and enter the answer into the computer. If it is correct, then you will be able to receive the next task. You will enter the codes one by one, the birthday girl begins. But first I must test your intelligence and erudition.
Are you ready? If yes, then press any key».
The guys press the key and receive the first task:
1. Find envelope No. 1 (Where? Indicate the secret place). Read the statements and guess whether they are true or not. For each correct answer ("yes" or "no") you will learn one letter. Guess which country and its capital are hidden in the resulting sentence, and enter them in capital Russian letters separated by a space (first the country, then the city).
Envelope No. 1
It contains a list of statements. The task was borrowed from Tatyana P., where you can see the questions and the correct answers.
For this test I prepared a special form.
The desired sentence was written down on a large sheet of paper with a pencil (thinly so as not to show through). Each letter was covered with two leaves. The number of the question was written on the top one, and the correct answer (“yes” or “no”) was written on the second one (again, thinly).
That is, we read a statement like:
« Children can hear higher pitched sounds than adults».
The guys discussed whether it was true or not and came up with a group decision.
We picked up the first piece of paper and looked at what was written on it - “yes” or “no”. If their answer was correct, we raised the second piece of paper, under which there was a letter.
If the answer was incorrect, but the letter remained closed.
In our case, it was not possible to open all the letters (although it should be noted that the children gave more correct answers the first time than I did when I first read these questions), but there were enough of them to guess the remaining ones.
Our proposal was: “ Franz and I made a bet, Jacques is a witness»
In it we found the country - France and the capital - Paris. These are “clues” for the future (since the history of aeronautics begins in France).
We enter the code words into the computer and move on to the next task.
2. Well done, you did a great job!
Now find envelope No. 2 (indicate the place where to look). There you will find descriptions of several physical experiments. Everything you need is on the table. Read the descriptions of the experiments carefully and only then carry out them.
Don't forget to invite Doctor Grigorius - he will be your faithful assistant.
Discuss how this happens, thanks to what? Enter this word, this is the code.
Despite the simplicity of all the proposed experiments, I would advise you to first try to carry them out yourself, since they all have some nuances.
Before each description there was a warning that you must first carefully read the description of the experiment, and only then begin to carry it out.
All necessary equipment collected on a small table.
From there the children take what they need to carry out this experiment.
Envelope No. 2
Experience 1.
Equipment - glass, water bottle, thick paper, basin
Take a glass, a bottle of water and a piece of construction paper.
Pour water into the glass all the way to the rim. Cover the glass with a piece of thick paper and, holding the paper with your palm, quickly turn the glass upside down.
Now remove your palm. Will water spill out of the glass?
The experiment must be carried out over the pelvis.
If the water is poured to the top, the paper is thick enough and pressed well, then the water does not spill out, and the sheet seems to stick to the edge of the glass.
Experience 2.
Equipment - bowl, colored water, cork, glass
Take a tall glass and a bowl. Pour colored water into a bowl (so that the water level is about 5-6 cm), put a cork in it and place a glass turned upside down directly on the cork. Is there the same level of water under the glass as in the plate?
This experience is called " diving bell".
If the glass is high enough and not too much water is poured, then there is no water left under the glass at all; the cork lies at the bottom of the bowl. And outside the glass the level rises slightly. The water can be slightly tinted (for example, with potassium permanganate) to make the experiment look more impressive. But you can also use ordinary clear water.
Experience 3.
Equipment - plate, water, candle, lighter
Pour some water (can be tinted) into a plate. Carefully place a candle (“tea” candle, in a metal mold) into the plate and light it. Cover the candle with the glass so that it touches the bottom of the plate. What will happen to the water?
When the candle goes out, water will be sucked into the glass. To make the experience more impressive, it is better to pour just a little water. Then it will all be absorbed into the glass, and the plate outside the glass will be dry. If you take not a plate, but a small saucer, then it will generally “stick” to the glass, and the glass can be lifted along with the saucer.
Experience 4.
Equipment - transparent water bottle, stopper, pipette
Fill the bottle with water, leaving two to three millimeters to the edge of the neck.
Take a pipette, fill it with some water and drop it into the neck of the bottle.
Its upper rubber end should be at or slightly above the water level in the bottle. In this case, you need to ensure that with a slight push with your finger the pipette sinks, and then slowly floats up on its own.
Now close the cap and squeeze the sides of the bottle, hold for a while. What will happen to the pipette?
When you squeeze the bottle, the pipette will drop to the bottom.
For this experiment, it is very important to control how much water is put into the pipette. If there is too little, you will need to squeeze the bottle very hard; the child’s strength will not be enough for this. If there is more water in the pipette, it is enough to squeeze the bottle just a little, and the experiment looks much more impressive.
After all the experiments we discuss what action physical strength They illustrated it for us. It should be noted that the children turned out to be quite “advanced” and almost did not need the help of Dr. Grigorius.
We enter the code word into the computer - pressure. We receive the following task:
3. Find envelope No. 3 (location). Conduct experiments.
What force does this happen? Enter the code.
Envelope No. 3
Experience 1.
Equipment - plate, water, strip of paper, scissors, washing up liquid
Pour clean water into a plate.
Take scissors and, holding a narrow strip of paper over the plate, cut off small squares from it, trying to do this so that the pieces falling into the water are located on the water in a ring in the middle of the plate and do not touch each other or the edges of the plate.
Take soap (or dishwashing liquid) and place one drop in the center of the plate. What will happen to the papers?
They will quickly scatter to the edges of the plate.
Experience 2.
Equipment - plate, water, blade, needle, buttons, magnet
Can metal float on water?
Very carefully, take the razor blade (it's very sharp!) and place it on the surface of the water. What happened?
Try weighing down the blade by carefully placing a needle and 1-2 buttons on it. Try placing a needle on the water. What happens if you magnetize it first?
If the blade is placed carefully on the water, it will not sink, but will float on the surface of the water. When you weight it down (with a needle and buttons), you can see how it is pressed a little into the water, but still does not sink.
If you first magnetize the needle, you get a compass.
You can also try moving a blade or needle through the water with a magnet.
Experience 3.
Equipment - glass, sunflower oil, alcohol mixture, pipette, bowl
Pour sunflower oil into a glass. Pour some alcohol solution into a bowl. Take a pipette and carefully, drop by drop, introduce the solution into the oil. What's happening to him? What form does the liquid take? Why? Continue adding solution until... Until what happens?
I took regular vodka, the alcohol content was sufficient. You can take medical alcohol and dilute with water.
The alcohol solution is collected in a beautiful ball that hangs near the surface.
When it gets heavy enough, it sinks nicely and smoothly to the bottom.
For this experiment, it is better to take not a glass, but a tall glass with a stem.
This will make it easier to look from below to see the ball.
We discuss how it all works out - the pieces of paper scatter, the blade floats, the alcohol collects into a ball. The key phenomenon is surface tension.
Enter the word tension, go to the next level.
4. It seems, my friends, that you are a little tired.
You need to eat a little and rest. Eat the treat and write how you liked it. We make a snack (sandwiches, juice), write “yes”,
Let's move to the next level.
5. Find envelope No. 4 (location). Conduct experiments. What force does these experiments illustrate? Enter the code.
Envelope No. 4
Experience 1.
Equipment - 2 eggs (boiled and raw), plate
Scramble both eggs on a large plate. You see the eggs behave differently. How can you tell which one is boiled?
Boiled egg It spins, but the raw one doesn’t.
Experience 2.
Equipment - glass, postcard, coin
Take a glass. Place a postcard on it, and a coin on the postcard.
Click sharply on the postcard.
What will happen to the coin? (She'll fall right into the glass)
What happens if you pull a postcard slowly?
(The coin will move with the card)
We discuss, introduce the word “friction”, move to the next level.
6. Find envelope No. 5 (location). Conduct experiments.
What changes in water, what is its characteristic? Enter the code.
Envelope No. 5
Experience 1.
Equipment - three jars, alcohol solution, salt, water, egg, ice
Take three containers.
Pour an alcohol solution into one (the strength of the vodka was not enough, you need a little more. You can use not alcohol, but the cheapest cologne); in the second - water; in the third - a salt solution.
Place in the first container (with alcohol solution) an egg and a piece of ice.
Transfer them to a second container (with saline solution),
and then to the third (with clean water).
What's happening to them? How to explain this?
In alcohol, both ice and egg sink, in salt both float, in water the egg sinks, but ice does not.
Experience 2.
Equipment - weighted wax ball, glass, salt, water, clear water bottle
Take a wax ball.
Place it in a container of water (the container should be about half full). The ball is a little weighted (it itself is the size of a large grape, it has 2-3 paper clips inside), so it sinks. Prepare a salt solution (dissolve the salt in a glass of water until it stops dissolving).
Add a little to the water saturated solution salt and stir lightly. What happens to the ball?
He pops up. By adjusting the amount of water and saline solution, you can ensure that the ball hangs in the middle of the container.
We discuss experiments, introduce the word “density”. We get the last task:
7. Remember the basic law that I discovered and proved? A body immersed in a liquid or gas is subject to a buoyant force! For many centuries, people have tried to use this power to get off the ground and rise into the sky. What was the name of the first one? aircraft, on which a man rose into the air? Enter the name in capital letters.
Enter the word " balloon" (I deliberately did not take the “balloon”, because, firstly, it is too simple, and secondly, it is not entirely correct with scientific point vision) and we receive a farewell message from Archimedes:
“Indeed, an aerostat (or a balloon, as we used to call it) fulfilled a person’s dream of getting off the ground. I was not destined to see this with my own eyes, but I know for sure that it happened. Find the “Aerostat” file on your computer desktop and listen to the history of aeronautics and the first human flights, and at the same time remember about France, you may even be able to build your own balloon!
And I, Archimedes, say goodbye to you. I send you greetings from the distant past, I wish you new ones most interesting discoveries and all the best!"
In my search for information about balloons, I found an amazing resource in which the history of aeronautics is presented concisely, but very informatively, the text is easy to read and is accompanied by incredibly beautiful pictures.
This is the website of the Kyiv Aeronautical Society.
Be sure to scroll through all 9 pages!
Based on this article, I prepared a short presentation in Power Point.
There was a minimum of text (mostly pictures), I tried to tell the story myself and give the children all sorts of tasks along the way so that they wouldn’t get bored.
For example, when we reached the first passengers of the hot air balloon, 3 volunteers had to pantomime them (without sounds!), and the rest had to guess who it was (a ram, a rooster and a duck). And so on.
After the presentation, we set about building our own balloons (thanks again to Tanya Lavrenova for the idea!). But first it was necessary to make passengers.
We made rope men.
They are knitted quite simply from two ropes, one a little shorter (this is the base - the head and legs), the second - a little longer (these are the arms and body).
Or you could, for example, draw and cut out your portrait or mold passengers from plasticine.
Then we moved on to the baskets.
I bought small baskets (apparently flowerpots, about 12 cm in diameter) in advance (very inexpensively, 15 rubles each), and we tied strong threads of the same length to them.
I managed to find really huge balloons (about a meter in diameter), which we inflated with helium (we bought a balloon in advance, which is not a problem in Moscow).
First, the children divided into pairs, and each pair made one balloon. This was due not only to the limited amount of gas (it would simply not be enough for 10 such balls), but also to the fact that it was not easy to cope alone.
Threads tied to baskets were attached to the balls with tape.
Attention! Under no circumstances should the adhesive tape be peeled off from the ball, because... it may burst. We just lost one balloon!
We put our passengers in the baskets, and also put notes in which on one side a wish was written for the birthday girl (voiced by the authors), and on the other - our own cherished wish (remained secret).
Then we went out into the street together and counted “one-two-three!” launched their balloons. And they watched their flight in the clouds for a long time - fortunately, the weather was clear.
It was, of course, a bit of a pity to release our works of art, but the helium from the balloons would still have evaporated within a day, and our beautiful balloons rushing into the sky would have turned into crumpled rags. And so we all - children, adults, and random passers-by - received a lot vivid impressions!
And at home there was a treat waiting for us - pizza and birthday cake.
By the way, the children made the pizza themselves.
Thus we decided common problem- when some guests arrive early, while others are late. While the holiday had not yet begun, we invited everyone who came to join in making pizza.
I decided to devote a separate article to fun scientific experiments, since our customers often ask us to make a children’s party entirely educational. In other words, a program with animators can easily be replaced with a very interesting science show.
What occasions is a science show suitable for?
This program is worth ordering if:
- You don't want the program to have a lot of outdoor games. Great! The children won't have time to run around. Their goal is to learn to control the elements and create mind-blowing special effects on their own.
- Your children have attended many holidays with animators and know competitions and relay races by heart. Nothing to do with pirates and princesses! Only science in its most spectacular expression!
- You decided to gather a lot of children of different ages , and you don’t know what to come up with to make it interesting for everyone. A science show is a great way out. Everything will be so impressive that a 3-year-old child and a 15-year-old teenager will feel “at ease.”
- Do you want your children to gain new knowledge?. Yes, everything will be like that. The presenter explains each experiment at a level that is understandable to children who have not yet studied chemistry and physics. If the children are older, the interpretation of miracles will be more scientific.
