Quest for children: halfway to the finish line
Having the entire set of clues, the participants successfully reached the finish line and are ready to complete the job they started.
Our children were great, they completed the task very friendly and quickly. Surely, thanks to your tips, they will quickly find the ring or the desired item. Well, and along with it comes a reward - prizes. If there were two teams, then not only the winners, but also the losers should receive prizes.
Final touches
Based on the proposed tasks, you can adjust and adapt them to your conditions and the age of the children.
Important: Absolutely all quest tasks for children were quite easy to complete and safe.
Plan everything down to the last detail. If you want to conduct a quest outdoors, be sure to take a first aid kit with you. If it's summer outside, take water and sunscreen, and choose the right time to avoid the scorching heat.
If there are a lot of children, then there should be enough adults conducting the quest so that the children are supervised!
Exit to the city!
In order to choose an interesting children's event on June 1, I simply open the “Children” tab on Yandex Poster.
It’s convenient that in just 2 weeks you can decide on a program of exhibitions, theaters and cinema. Each city in Russia will have its own selection, you just need to select your city (you will see a link on the left). If you have a group of up to 10 people, you can arrange an unusual day at the museum (here I have more details about 12 interesting holidays in museums for Muscovites...). With a group of up to 15 people, we go on a theatrical excursion. Here, for example, is a description of three bright trips around Moscow. For teenagers over 13 years old, we offer very cool quests in Kolomenskoye and Tsaritsyno. Prices are very reasonable, see details and call! At the end of May you can find out what entertainment programs will be held in nearby parks. These can be large and small concerts, performances by artists with interactive shows, games and competitions with prizes.
Quest for children: assemble a picture or puzzles, puzzles - templates, examples
While detectives were investigating the case, someone stole and tore up a photo of the criminal. And now we need to restore the photo from the pieces. If you used a different quest scenario for children, then this may be the next task depending on the topic.
- Here you need to prepare puzzles or any picture in advance, cutting it into pieces (not necessarily a photo of the criminal). When the children arrive at the task site, they should be given the finished task. And the important detail is that they all have to put it together. The difficulty is that everyone completes the task together. Very often, one child puts together puzzles or pictures many times faster than the team.
- Depending on the age of the participants, select puzzles or cut the picture into the required number of parts. Here are some examples.

Competition and game program
Considering that I cannot offer a single scenario for all occasions, since the choice of program depends on
- number of children
- age
- venues (kindergarten, club, courtyard, apartment, children's camp or sanatorium)
I can give links to the best collections of games and competitions that I have collected for various occasions. I have no doubt that you will find something useful here:
More than 100 competitions “by age” and “by occasion”. I’ll also help you choose prizes: 100 ideas for 100 friends. Of course, for big and small holidays there are ready-made programs with animators, life-size puppets, unusual show numbers and prizes. Call us, we can tell you which holiday is most suitable for your children!

- You are in an old cellar. Three old wooden doors lead to the exit. Behind the first door is a tiger who has not eaten for 5 months. Behind the second door is a cowboy with a loaded pistol. And behind the third door a pirate with his saber is waiting for you. Which door can you go through without getting hurt: door 1, door 2 or door 3? Door 1 is the correct answer.
