Without the opportunity to independently prepare a scenario for holding a children's quest, it is worth contacting the unburses of the World Wide Web. Many online pages are ready to offer the best entertainment plots for games.

These cards must be returned to make a further route. Initially, children distribute the roles of crew members, and after tasks are provided, for the execution of which they are returned to the cards.

Participants are reported that they fell into a fabulous journey, so there must be several tests to get into the winter country. The number of tasks must be brought into line with the number of guests, and they all must be associated with winter theme. The reward for the passage of the quest will be outside the street to play in snowballs. And then - a sweet table and hot tea. Children will be delighted.
For a similar scheme, you can develop a detective or spy storyline of the game. The main thing is that all tasks match the subject.
For girls
Often when drawing up a quest script for girls as the basis is taken by cartoons. For example, "Rapunzel - Tangled History".
Parents will need to prepare props, namely: a flash drive with a message and paper with tasks.
The girl playing with her friends, finds the envelope on which it is written: "Open me." Inside is a flash drive. While children run to a computer with interest, Mom hides the cake in a pre-prepared place. Children at this time reveal the message, where it is indicated that Rapunzel kidnapped a festive cake, but it is ready to return it if the children will pass a series of tests. And the first task is hidden in the book, which Mom recently read.
Since the game is thought out in advance, the mother must make accents on this book a few days before the holiday. Children find a book, after which they receive a new task, which says that the following test is in a washing machine. Children open the drum of the device, pull out the puzzles with a sticker on which it is written that they will receive the following hint if they manage to collect the picture during a certain time. It is recommended to choose to play puzzles from dense cardboard. After the assembly, children will need to turn the picture to the opposite direction, where the next tip will be indicated.
Collect the puzzle, they learn that the next task is hidden in the guitar (piano). Approaching the musical instrument, the children find a note between the strings (keys), which indicates that musical abilities are required from them. In this task, each child should either sing or dance. While the last child copes with the test, one of the parents must "randomly" to drop him under the foot of the next tip, which states that the new task is hidden in the bedroom closet.
The children run into the room, open the closet and find a box with a twister game. Inside there is still a note from Rapunzel, and it is invited to play the game, but at the same time will be able to keep it, never falling. After that, the test will be reported where the cake is located.
Of course, children start playing. Adults laugh and having fun, looking at their inspired kids. And only when they can prove that they face their feet firmly, one of the parents notices on the reverse side of the post card, in which Rapunzel reports where the cake hid. It turns out that he stands on the street, next to the gift for the birthday girl. Joyful children run to the courtyard, where a mini-disco with a sweet tea is arranged for them.
For boys
Many parents note that the preparation of quests for boys is an exciting occupation. Here you can create interesting adventures. For example, on the topic "Underground bunker" . A birthday party comes with an indication to go with friends to his room. At the entrance, the company meets the keeper, which informs that the bunker is hidden here in which they found a book. The book states that the whole apartment is an underground shelter, but somewhere here a gift for a birthday room is hidden.
To find a present, a boy with friends must pass a series of tests specified in the notes hidden throughout the apartment. They will be able to get the first task by correcting the mistake in the mathematical task. For the keeper on the floor posts an example from matches with the wrong answer. For an example turned out to be correct, it is necessary to move only 1 match. Children should understand what.
After passing the task, the birthday phone comes to the phone, which says that a new test is hidden in a microwave oven. There, children find ordinary rebuses. All rebuses are decrypted in different ways, but at the same time have a general meaning. For example, clothespin, ropes, flowers. In most apartments, these interior elements are located on the balcony. So, the next task must be sought there.
On the balcony kids are waiting for balls, inside which paper hidden. And to get notes, the balls must be inflated and burst. Of the 10 balls, only one should be a hint, the remaining 9 - with empty pieces. The word "computer" is specified in the prompt.
Children promptly run to the computer, the keyboard find a flash drive with a sticker "turn on me". Only 1 file is recorded there. Opening it, the children read the indication that the gift is hidden in the dark place in the bunker. It is there that stored clothes, bedding and other things. It becomes clear that we are talking about a closet. Children go to the bedroom, the birthday girl opens the closet, and in it - a gift.
It is worth noting that Presented scenarios are only the foundations of plots . Parents can add them by any other tests, given the interests of the child.
