Any children's party is not complete without all kinds of music competitions. After all, we sing very cheerful and catchy songs at all festive events. The song is a must-have number at any celebration. But how to organize music competitions for children?
The best scenario for music competitions for children: how to choose?
You can arrange a game similar to the well-known musical TV shows: “Two Grand Pianos”, “Guess the Melody”, “Songs with the Stars” and much more. The scenario of a music competition can be completely different.
The musical accompaniment must exactly match the tempo of the entertainment being provided, so as not to give the impression that the music is being played in separate pieces.
You can offer children regular fun tasks and competitions in which they can demonstrate their knowledge of songs and for this receive memorable prizes or points for their team.
Here are some examples of music competitions for children that you can use at your party.
"Musical Hat"
All participants stand in a circle and, to the music, begin to pass the hat, removing it from their head and putting it on their neighbor. When the music stops, the player wearing the hat is eliminated. The competition continues until there is one winner left.
"Sing Your Song"
Each player sings his own song, the words of which he knows well. At the leader’s command, everyone sings it quietly, to themselves. When, for example, 2 claps sound, each participant must sing his own song as loudly as possible, without getting confused or distracted by the others. Then everything repeats again. The winner is the one who messes up the least and is able to finish the song to the end.
"Word from a Song"
Two teams are participating. The first begins to sing her song. At the leader's command, the second team will have to sing a song using one word heard from the sounding composition. In some ways it’s reminiscent of a word game, but here you have to sing.
Such competitions can cause children to develop a sense of rhythm and musical taste. These are always very fun and exciting games.
In addition, those invited will be able to excite the bored guests of the festive event. A musical group will not become a hindrance, but on the contrary, will only decorate and diversify your evening with live music.
Musical competitions for children will become much more interesting and exciting if the final participant is offered some symbolic prize for winning them.
Music can create an amazing sense of rhythm that prevents competitors from getting tired. That is why such competitions have earned incredible popularity.
Musical competitions can turn any holiday into a celebration and carefree fun that can be held even at home. This will be especially fun if there are a lot of children.
Winning a competition for a child is, first of all, pride, both for the child and for his parents.
Carrying out such games will provide an opportunity to diversify leisure time and cheer up each guest. These melodic competitions arouse increased interest among children of different ages. In addition, music programs can develop participants' ear for music and attention.
Just a few years ago, they were popular at anniversaries and weddings. active competitions, where guests had to run, jump and even lift weights. Now guests do not want to perform unnecessary movements, they prefer to relax and enjoy the holiday. How then to entertain guests? New music competitions will help you fun company, in which, accompanied by cheerful music, guests will do things that will cause laughter and fun. With such competitions, your holiday will be a great success, and you will get maximum pleasure.
An interesting competition - guess the song.
Yes, many people know this competition, but we invite you to play it a little differently. How? Like this: the host shows a smiley face, and the guests must choose the most suitable song to go with it. This game is based on the example of a game from one popular TV show that airs on Channel One.
Here are emoticons for example and for the competition:
Competition - conductor.
Do you know who a conductor is? This is a man who, by waving his hands, makes the musicians play a beautiful melody. And our conductor will make the guests sing!
The essence of the competition is simple and clear. Guests come out in the amount of 5-9 people. They stand in one line, and opposite them stands the leader, who will be the conductor. Any famous song without words is turned on, that is, karaoke. And the guests begin to sing it in chorus, while the conductor waves his hands, as if showing who is in charge. As soon as the conductor stops waving his arms, the guests should stop singing. Or rather, they should sing the song to themselves. After all, after a while, the conductor will start waving his arms again, and the guests will have to continue singing.
The conductor's task is to confuse the guests and therefore he needs to change the rhythm of his movements.
Music competition – question and answer.
Teams participate in the competition. Each team has 3-7 participants. The bigger, the better. The game is played according to following rules: The first team sings a line from any song. But not just a line, but a question line. For example, “what have you done, put on a white dress.” And the second team must, after 20-30 seconds, answer the question with a line from another song, for example, “is it my fault that my voice trembled.”
The team's task is to answer funnier questions.
For example:
- why are you standing there swinging, white rowan...
The answer is:
- the wind was blowing from the sea, the wind was blowing from the sea...
Competition - drunken songs.
This competition will really appeal to all guests, especially those who are already tipsy. The task is simple - remember the songs. In which any alcoholic drink. For example:
- a glass of vodka on the table...
- if the sea were beer...
And so on. And it’s not easy to remember, but also to sing a song at karaoke.
Music competition - end of the song.
For the competition you need to prepare cards on which the last lines of songs and verses will be written. Exactly the last lines! We divide the guests into teams of 3-4 people and play. Each team takes out one card and reads their ending to the song. Their task is to remember what kind of song it is and sing it from beginning to end. If you can’t sing, then just name the song.
Competition - show a song.
This competition is known to everyone and many have already played it. But, nevertheless, interest in the competition does not disappear. The main thing in the competition is to choose interesting lines from the songs.
And it plays simply. On cards, write lines from the songs you want to show. Guests take out cards and show this song in action. And the guests must guess what is being shown to them.
Examples of songs to show:
- and I recognize my dear one by his gait.
- my grandmother smokes a pipe.
- do not put salt on my wound.
- What did you do, put on a white dress.
- I will move to London.

Regardless of the occasion for which a cheerful adult company has gathered - an anniversary or just a birthday, it does not hurt the birthday person to prepare in advance. Undoubtedly, good menu, appropriate drinks, appropriate music are an important part of spending time together. But fun competitions for an adult company at a table or in nature will achieve a special effect.
The company may include both long-time friends and unfamiliar people. It is possible that informal communication is organized for people who are seeing each other for the first time. These can be people of different ages - men and women, boys and girls. No matter how the communication is supposed to be, having at least a conditional plan of action, including competitions for young people, quizzes for adults, funny jokes and theatrical performances, means ensuring the success of any event!
So, competitions for young people: students, schoolchildren, adults, young at heart!
Fun competition at the “Thoughts” table
A musical selection is prepared in advance, where desires are expressed in songs or funny sayings. For example, “I’m a chocolate bunny, I’m an affectionate bastard...”, “And I’m unmarried, someone really needs it..”, “It’s great that we’re all gathered here today..”, etc. The host simply approaches each guest and puts a magic hat on his head that can read thoughts.

Competition “Guess the Animal”
It is necessary to prepare several photographs of famous stars in advance. Only one person participates in the competition - the presenter. The presenter selects a player from the audience, the player turns away, the presenter says - I show the audience a photo of the animal, and you ask leading questions, and we will all say yes or no. Everyone except the player sees the photo (for example, Dima Bilan in the photo), everyone starts laughing, and the player thinks that this is a funny animal and starts asking crazy questions:
– does he have a lot of fat or not?
-does he have horns?
Mobile competition for the company
Two large but equal teams are participating. Each participant ties an inflated balloon in the color of their team to their leg with a thread. The thread can be any length, although the longer the better. The balls must be on the floor. On command, everyone begins to destroy their opponents’ balls by stepping on them at the same time, preventing them from doing the same with their own. The owner of the burst ball steps aside and stops the battle. The winner is the team whose ball remains the last on the battlefield. Fun and not traumatic. Verified. By the way, each team can develop some kind of strategy and tactics for combat. And the balls may not be the same color in a team, but to successfully fight you need to know your partners well.
Competition for those who are thirsty (can be held outdoors) -)
We need to take about 10 plastic glasses, fill them in front of the competition participants with various drinks (both tasty and intentionally “spoiled” with the addition of salt, pepper or something like that, but most importantly compatible with life). Glasses are placed in a pile. Participants take turns throwing a ping pong ball into glasses and whichever glass the ball lands in, the contents of that glass are drunk.
Competition “Make a Wish”
Participants collect one item of each, which is put into a bag. After which, one of the participants is blindfolded. The presenter pulls out things one by one, and the blindfolded player comes up with a task for the owner of the pulled out thing.

After this, fold the sheet so that what is written is not visible. After this, they pass the piece of paper to the neighbor on the right. The presenter asks: “Where did you go?” Everyone writes, folds the paper and passes it to the neighbor on the right. Presenter: “Why did he go there?”…. And so on. After this, the fun reading begins together.
An incendiary game “Let's dance!?”
Preparation is simple: a neckerchief and a presenter responsible for musical accompaniment are selected. The main task of the presenter is to provide the competition with fast, fiery melodies that can excite the participants so that they want to perform the most fiery steps and pirouettes.
Everyone taking part in the entertainment stands in a large circle. The first dancer is chosen. This may be the hero of the occasion; if there is none, you can decide by drawing lots or counting. The player stands in an improvised circle, a scarf is tied to him, the music is turned on, and everyone dances. After making a few or many movements, the dancer must transfer his attribute to another person standing in a circle. The scarf must be tied in a knot around the neck, and the “heir” must also be kissed. The new dancer takes the place of the previous one and performs his steps. The dance lasts as long as the musical accompaniment lasts. When the leader turns it off, the remaining dancer in the circle is taken by surprise and is forced to shout something like “ku-ka-re-ku.” The more unexpectedly the music stops, the more fun those present will have.
Competition “Dress each other”
This team game. Participants are divided into pairs.

The task of the “boar” is to run away and evade, and the task of the “hunters” is to hit this very target.
A certain time is recorded during which the game is played. It is advisable to limit the space for the game so that the game does not turn into a real hunt. The game must be played in a sober state. It is prohibited to hold a “boar” by teams of “hunters”.

The participant tries to read it with expression (preferably it is an unfamiliar verse). The other participant needs to write down everything that he understood, and then read aloud what happened. As a result, its text is compared with the original. Instead of a bun, you can use another product that makes it difficult to pronounce words.
Competition “Overcome the Obstacle”

The first one utters two completely unrelated words. For example: wood and computer. The next player must connect the unconnected and describe the situation that could happen with these two items. For example, “The wife got tired of her husband constantly sitting at the computer, and he settled in a tree with him.” Then the same player says the following word, for example, “Bed.” The third participant must add this word to this situation, for example, “Sleeping on a branch has become not as comfortable as sleeping on a bed.” And so on until the imagination is enough.
