Fun evening

What do you need for a party?
- Invitation cards with text that can only be read in a mirror image.
- Decoration of the premises. Posters with cheerful greetings or aphorisms are written from right to left (“Hello, friends!”, “I didn’t wait, but you came, well, friends, you’re good!”, etc.), some of them also hang “up feet." The chairs are turned with their backs towards the festive table.
However, the options for creating a festive atmosphere can be very diverse. The main thing is to proceed from the principle: it should be fun and “vice versa.” If they usually try to make a holiday beautiful, solemn - unlike everyday life, then this party too
will be different from everyday life, but otherwise - everything will be “simplified”.

An unpretentious atmosphere will result if

create the illusion that everything was done in a hurry within the framework of today's time;
reproduce the life of, for example, a Neanderthal;
revive the Soviet “dumpling” (parents will help);
depict the realities of an agricultural farm, etc.

All this will definitely be cool. We will focus on the first option for holding the holiday. You can modify the proposed games in line with the idea you like.
- Gifts for guests in elegant holiday packaging, always with a bow, and rather large, larger than the gift, in contrast to the whole style of the party.
- On the table there is something that could be prepared in a hurry - sandwiches, salads, etc.
- Cards with pins for each guest, on which the names are written from right to left: Misha - Ashim, Rita - Atir, etc.
- A set of cool entertainment and props for them (see below).
- Tasks for drawing forfeits.
- Musical accompaniment.

How to throw a party

The main requirement for drawing up a holiday program is more “gags”, that is, original and funny competitions.
The approach to assessing the achievements of party participants is non-trivial. The wit, resourcefulness and artistry of the guests should be assessed on a five-point scale using office “gags” - buttons. The higher the class of the performer of a particular task, the more generously they will give him buttons, as many as five of them. And so - in descending order.
At the end of the evening, the lucky ones will be named the best “pranksters” and a corresponding label will be placed on everyone’s back (or forehead).
If the champions of jokes, for some reason, refuse such an honor, in the sense of labels, then no one will insist...

Some cool party ideas

When you come to visit, it’s better to move backwards.

It is advisable to reuse candy wrappers from eaten candies, giving them the appearance of a new candy and placing such a “pacifier” on your neighbor.

It’s better to address the birthday person not in your own voice, etc. - until you get tired of it.

Address everyone only by their new names.

For violation of these and other rules of cool party etiquette, which may be introduced by the birthday person for a certain period, fines will be charged. Later, during the party, they are played as forfeits with fun tasks corresponding to the spirit of the day.

If a party is a birthday

RELAY OF CONGRATULATIONS

The festive party opens, as expected, with congratulations from friends addressed to the birthday boy.
But at this party, both the procedure and the content of congratulations should be unusual. For example, it might look like this.
Guests are sitting at the festive table. Each person's palms are cupped, as when playing "Ring". The guest sitting to the right (left) of the birthday person begins to speak first. He utters a pre-prepared phrase: “Well, happy birthday to you, dear... (name of the birthday boy)!” - with a solemn intonation.
And then he, as it were, “puts” a greeting into the palms of his neighbor so that he continues the congratulatory relay.
The next speaker pronounces his speech not with the solemn intonation that sounded, but with some other intonation - for example, flattering, threatening, frightened, etc. Having briefly said what he thinks, the second guest passes the baton to the third, etc.

Important!
Intonation should not be repeated!

If the party is in honor of a calendar, personal holiday...
or just a holiday for the soul

CATAPULT OF JOKIC QUESTIONS

The proposed intellectual and entertaining game is called “Question Catapult” due to the fact that, firstly, its participants must answer questions very quickly, like a projectile fired by a catapult flies, and secondly, because in order to carry it out, for Delivery of issues to their destination requires a special device - a catapult.

WHAT YOU NEED TO GAME

Catapult from improvised means - one for all players

Comic questions written on small pieces of paper rolled into a tube or packaged in Kinder surprise containers

Handy means of catching questions: nets, baseball caps, boxes, unfolded pillowcases, etc.

To create a catapult you will need a regular upside down stool and two elastic bands. First, one elastic band connects two opposite legs (diagonally), then a second elastic band connects the other opposite legs in the same way. The elastic bands are tied with a rope in their place
intersections. A light and shallow cardboard box (canned food can) with a hole in the bottom is attached to the junction of the ends of the rubber bands.
Another rope is passed through this hole with a large knot at the top - the knot should close the hole. The catapult is activated by pulling the free end of this rope.
All questions are thrown to the players using a catapult in several volleys. Cards in the form of tubes or packaged in a Kinder Surprise container are placed in the launching part of the catapult (in a box, jar). Specially trained technicians (one of the guests) produce a release (to do this, just pull the rope), and a fountain of tubes shoots up.
Players take places around the catapult. Everyone has in their hands means for catching questions: nets, etc. All “caught” questions are read out sequentially by the subjects and given an instant answer.
For correct answers - a reward in the form of buttons.
If the answer is given incorrectly, it is not forwarded to other participants. The game host brings clarity.
It is possible to re-draw unguessed questions (along with “uncaught ones”) the next time the cards are thrown out of the catapult.

Important!
The main thing that players need to win is a sense of humor, intelligence and good reactions.

We offer a series of humorous questions, especially loved by teenagers. Regardless of the correctness of the answers received, there will definitely be smiles on the faces of the party participants, and the mood will improve even for those who were initially in a gloomy mood.

UNUSUAL EXHIBITION

In front of the competition participants, the presenter demonstrates illustrations made by a certain artist. He translated the meaning of some phraseological phrases into the language of drawing - as he understood.
Looking at the drawings, or rather, their photocopies, the contestants must name the stable expressions that served as the source material for creativity.
These are the illustrations from which you need to make photocopies. twist your nose
After successfully finding the answers and presenting the appropriate number of winning buttons, the presenter invites guests to use other artistic means to convey the meaning of other popular expressions - not the usual felt-tip pens, pencils and paints, but facial expressions and gestures.
You just need to depict the phraseological unit in such a way that others will guess it.

Variants of phraseological units

stared like a ram at the new gate;
what kind of fly bit;
eat a dog;
hang by a thread;
tearing out one's hair;
eyes run wide;
fall under the hot hand;
bite elbows;
get lost in three pines.

LOTTO WITH SCHOOLARIES

If guests are somewhat tired from active recreation, invite them to play lotto. Almost everyone knows this board game; it is truly folk. However, at the party everything is special. The lotto game will not be played as usual, but will be played using “schoolisms” - concepts from school life, interpreted in a special way. Schoolisms are one of the varieties of student folklore, carefully preserved and increased by each generation of schoolchildren.
For this reason, schoolchildren's lotto is a twice-folk game, and most importantly, fun and gambling.

WHAT YOU NEED TO GAME
- Large cards for each player are the same. To do this, landscape sheets need to be drawn into 9-12 rectangles. in each of which write “folklore” versions of words, phrases and sentences related to school topics
- Small colored “zastavushka” cards - commonly used words and the same phrases are written on them. These cards are the same size as the rectangles on larger cards. To make it easier to control, the rectangles on large cards and the corresponding small cards are equally numbered
- A bag made of opaque material (box) for small cards
- Musical signal to indicate the start of the game

The presenter distributes large cards to each player, and he will remove small cards from the bag during the game.
A musical signal sounds, signaling the start of the game.
The presenter takes a card out of the bag and reads out a folklore student definition of a concept.
Players must find the corresponding word or phrase on their large cards and name it.
If the answer is correct, the participant in the game covers the corresponding part of his large card with the card he received from the presenter.
If there is difficulty with the answer, the presenter waits 5 seconds (no more than two versions are accepted) and puts the card aside, perhaps to voice it again - but at the end of the game.
Suppose the presenter takes out a card from the bag on which it says “bell from class” and reads the phrase out loud.
Players begin to select a word or expression that suits its meaning on their large map. It should be the expression “golden symphony”.
If the player guessed correctly, then he receives from the presenter a small card, which covers the corresponding rectangle of the large card (golden symphony - call from class).

After gambling on the lotto, the fun at the party began to reach its peak. To maintain this positive trend, the presenter announces a new stage of the holiday program - “Games for pranksters from pranksters.”

ANSWER SOMETHING WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT

This is exactly what those who are chosen by the lot, the drivers, should do in this game.

WHAT YOU NEED TO GAME
- Signs on which the names of public places or institutions are written (“Bathhouse”, “School”, “Supermarket”, “Library”, “Nightclub”, “Toilet”, etc.)

The driver sits with his back to those around him, and a sign is attached to his back indicating some public place or institution: And then the players bombard the driver with all sorts of questions. When answering them, he must try to guess what they are talking about.
But until this happens, you will have to fend off provocative and very malicious questions - those around you will frolic to their hearts' content!
For example, they may ask for what purpose the respected Guest visits this place, how often he goes there, whether he invites girls there, what items he takes with him, what clothes he usually wears there, etc.
The homeric laughter of curious players will indicate how badly the driver once again missed the answer.
After 5-7 questions, regardless of the outcome of the unequal match, the next driver is chosen. And the former, having learned the cruel truth, can laugh at the situation he was in, along with everyone else.

CONSPIRACY OF FRIENDS

Among the games of the friendly circle, there are many in which players depict objects, concepts, etc. using pantomime.
This entertainment is one of those, but we can say that it is especially suitable for a “cool” party.

WHAT YOU NEED TO GAME
- Cards with the name of a phenomenon, concept, object, animal, etc.
- A bag or painted box for cards

The host hands the player chosen by lot a bag or box specially painted for the evening.
He takes out a card and reads the word written on it to himself. Now he has to use facial expressions and gestures to depict what he just read about, and the audience must try to decipher the presentation as quickly as possible. And, according to the presenter, the most artistic performer and the most observant and quick-witted spectator will leave at the end of the game enriched with a certain number of buttons.
The newly minted mime retires to another room: to think, to get into character. And at this time...
And at this time, a conspiracy is brewing behind his back: the insidious spectators and the presenter agree that they will portray dull ones - the unfortunate artist will not wait for the correct answers and recognition! In addition, the result is already known: it turns out that all the cards contain the same word!
The participant in the game, who has prepared the performance, returns to his friends and enthusiastically shows them the character according to the instructions on the card - an elephant, a hare, a deer, a kangaroo... Or some phenomenon: a thunderstorm, snowfall, typhoon...
Or... It's all in vain. It was as if the audience had been replaced. Reasoning loudly out loud, they discuss different versions of what they saw, but out of place. At the same time, the replicas sound quite reliable:
- See, this is something big. Maybe a mountain or a house?
- No, it’s moving, probably an excavator, you see, it has this thing in front that looks like a bucket.
- No, it’s something living, look at the limbs, how many are there? Two? Something extinct, like a dinosaur.
- Yes, it’s King Kong - everything fits!
- You yourself... What's ahead?

The discussion can continue for a long time, as long as endurance and the state of the imitator’s nervous system allow. It's a shame that this game can only be played once!

THERE WERE TALKS

“As you remember, in the memory of your mobile phone there are several names derived from the name “Pavel” (after all, there are two Pashas in our class alone).
Among this list there is a telephone number marked with the word “Pavlik”. But that’s what we call our history teacher! And then one evening you typed a telephone message to your friend: “Pashka, if you are a true friend, invite Alena to the skating rink,” but mistakenly sent it to the historian. Imagine your surprise when a few minutes later you received such a text message in response...”
And the driver responded: “And yet she spins!”

The driver, if he wants, can remain in his role until his final remark matches the meaning of the story composed by his friends.

Examples of themes for everyday stories

Visit to the market.

FANT GIVEAWAY

As the party progressed, many guests were fined more than once for any violations - try to follow all the rules introduced by the restless host! (See above.) The time has come for payback - the drawing of forfeits. The collection of forfeits that were confiscated from the guests is a collection of personal belongings of those present: all sorts of hairpins, gloves, scented handkerchiefs, key rings and similar little things.
The method of playing forfeits is extremely simple, it is the same from century to century. One of the guests is assigned the role of “mirror”. He meekly picks up one of the little things and, showing it, asks: “What should the one who owns this phantom do?”
And the presenter (birthday boy), standing with his back to the “mirror” and not knowing whose forfeit, must assign a fee for returning it to its owner - some kind of fun test. After this, the owner of the forfeit begins to complete the task. And then, after the “creative redemption”, the owner finds his little thing and now he himself comes up with something to puzzle the owner of the next forfeit, etc.

Tests to redeem the forfeit, simple but fun

1. Play the tune of the song “Let them run clumsily” with your finger on your lip.
2. Having changed shoes - putting shoes on from the right foot to the left, and vice versa - run a lap of honor in honor of the owner of the house.
3. Come up with as many antonyms and synonyms for the word “guest” as possible.
4. Compose a ditty with the name of the owner of the house (birthday boy) and sing it loudly, from the heart.
5. Climb onto a chair in the middle of the room, standing on one leg, congratulate the birthday boy or say everything that hurts about your best friend.
6. Salute with your right hand, and at the same time extend your left hand forward with your thumb extended, saying: “To the party!” Then clap your hands and do the same, but quickly changing hands.
7. Walk around the room, taking three steps forward and two back, blowing kisses to everyone with each step.
8. Blindfolded, run your hand over the face of one of the guests, to whom the host will lead you, and guess who it is.
9. The presenter will pronounce words, and the test subject must quickly come up with rhymes for them.
10. Sing a verse of a song about a grasshopper, replacing all the nouns in its text with words derived from the name of the owner of the house.
11. Perform the melody of the song “Two Cheerful Geese”, smacking your lips, “sending kisses” to the owner of the house (newborn).
12. Name flowers whose names begin with the letters of the full name of the owner of the house (celebrant of the occasion).
13. Bow to each of those present in different ways, without repeating.
14. Approach blindfolded to any of the guests and ask: “Bird, squeak your friend’s name!” - and then find out by voice who did it.
15. Sit for a minute with a serious expression on your face, saying: “I’m offended by you!” - while the guests will try by all means to make you laugh.

Fortune telling on a soda bottle

Why don’t the guests finally cast a fishing rod for their immediate prospects?
Any carbonated drink will help you find out what the coming days have in store.

So, it is poured into individual containers and looked at:

If there are a lot of big bubbles, you should expect major events very soon, both good and not so good;

If there are few such bubbles, then events will not happen so soon;

If a small berry thrown into a container of soda sinks quickly, then the wish will not come true.

The end of a party is a sad time. But if you focus on counting the earned pushpins, then, having discovered that there are a lot of them, you can get cool, “pretentious” decorated prizes: half a loaf of bread, bitten off in places, a gift from the crows from the neighboring yard, apparently enthusiastic fans, a jar of green peas - how many peas there are in it, that’s how much they will pay at the job (if you convert it to “green”), which you can get a job after graduating from school or college, a pack of dumplings called “Siberian” or “Bogatyrsky” - in general, the hint here is clear ...
And if you are very lucky, you can earn the title of the best “prankster” of the evening and proudly wear a garland of dried fruits, like an Olympic champion.

Gifts, cake and a crowd of friends playing together are, of course, great. But it’s much more interesting to be a real superhero and go in search of treasures. Or maybe go hunting with the whole tribe? Successfully choosing a party theme for children is a great gift for a child and his friends, because such a holiday gives a good mood, new emotions and pleasant memories!

Rainbow

Bright striped decorations + real adventure = a chic children's party. emerges by itself: the mischievous leprechaun stole the gifts and hid them at the other end of the rainbow. Children, passing tests, receive a piece of a certain color as a reward, put them together into a rainbow on a piece of whatman paper and find treasures.

Mafia

An interesting birthday theme is a mafia-themed party. Children in the guise of heavily armed mafiosi and their charming girlfriends simply cannot help but evoke emotion in the adult guests!

We hide cards from the police, shoot accurately at the target and no less accurately throw grenades into the bucket, come up with funny gangster nicknames, and decipher secret gangster messages. And, at the end of the scenario, we commit a daring robbery of the presenter, grabbing well-deserved prizes!

Having trouble choosing a party theme? For children, the script is more important than the design - start from the end! If you have little time to prepare, it is better to choose a well-known topic, the ideas for which lie on the surface.

Pajama room

“Clothing” parties like hat and jeans parties have not gained much popularity among children, but pajama parties are an exception. Although even adults love to have fun in this way, let alone active children with their craving for spacious, comfortable clothes.

How fun it is to come up with scary stories among friends, build a tent out of a sheet, pretend to be asleep while you are tickled, play shadow theater and blind man's buff, collect balloons around the room with your eyes closed, or guess what the presenter is going to treat you to for the night! Ugh! And it’s not at all necessary to invite guests to a real sleepover - the guys can change into pajamas just for the atmosphere.
Fruity

“Delicious” party styles for children are ideal if the birthday falls in the summer/early fall - watermelon, melon, strawberry, etc. Although there are winter options, for example, apple, orange and banana party (minions?).

The preparation is simple: a lot of treats with the flavor of the birthday boy’s favorite fruit/berry, paper “fruit” garlands, pictures, balls of themed colors. There are no restrictions regarding the script program - any competitions, some of which involve tasty props. Stock up on napkins!

Any theme party for children, be it a birthday or a less important occasion, requires serious preparation. Of course, there is some discount for the young age of guests. For example, many decorations can be made with your own hands from scrap materials - the main thing is bright and cheerful, and not artistically perfect.

However, obvious hackwork “on the knee” should be avoided - regardless of the chosen style, start preparing at least two weeks in advance. To make your theme party unforgettable, think about the following in advance:

location
Scenery
treats, birthday cake
musical accompaniment
script, competitions, prizes.

Themed parties - party scenarios

Noisy gatherings with games, competitions, songs and dances - all these are fun parties. There are many reasons to gather friends.

The main thing is to find a place where you could hold the party, as well as funds to organize it. The question of the gathering place is perhaps one of the most important: after all, the number of participants, the theme, and the choice of certain entertainments depend on the location of the party, and therefore it should be approached with all seriousness. You can gather at home, in an apartment, in a cafe, in a country house, or simply in nature (by going to the forest and having a picnic).

If many guests are invited to the party, then throughout the holiday you should try to give each of them at least a little attention. This way, you will not only make a good impression on those gathered, but you will also become the best party planner.
As soon as the venue for the party is chosen, you should immediately think through the entire cultural and mass program, because a party is not just a gathering of good friends, but also a fun pastime, which means that the feast must be interrupted by all kinds of games, competitions, sweepstakes, etc. d.
To make a party memorable, you should approach its organization creatively. It will be just great if you and a few of your friends think through the entire program in detail so that your party is different from the rest.

Party Options

Couture Party

New outfits, hairstyles or even makeup can be safely demonstrated at a party where close girlfriends will gather, and the duties of critics and fashion experts can be entrusted to young people. The invitation card can be a clipping from a fashion magazine with an image of a top model, and the text message should indicate the necessary things that you should take with you, for example, a cosmetic bag, a hair dryer, a comb, hair styling products, fashion magazines. The hostess of the party can act as a fashion makeup artist or fashion designer. A discussion of new fashion trends will be the highlight of the program, and the evening will end with a demonstration of outfits and a light buffet.

Country style party or picnic

It is very interesting to hold a village party in a city apartment, and in the summer - in the country. Such a party involves gatherings around the fire and cooking barbecue, which means you need to make a guest list and send out invitations. The invitation card must be accompanied by a text message indicating what items you need to take with you. For example, someone can take care of disposable tableware, someone can bring ketchup and bread, etc. It is important to correctly and evenly distribute responsibilities and things needed for the party.

Halloween Party

It is best to organize such a party late in the evening and have fun all night reading some mystical work or watching a film about witches, sorcerers and other evil spirits. The invitation card should be designed in the spirit of the upcoming fun and accompanied by a mystical and mysterious text, for example: “A gathering of witches and ghouls will take place... have a broom and a candle with you.”
Entry to the party is only permitted in appropriate costumes or masks.

new Year party

Everyone is looking forward to this holiday with great impatience, so many have been thinking about options for the upcoming event for months. A pre-drafted script and sent out invitations in the form of snowmen, snowflakes and other New Year's attributes should be accompanied by a text indicating who should bring what. If you are planning a carnival, you should think about costumes and masks. If the party will be held outside the city, at the dacha, then a knitted sweater, earflap hat, scarf or woolen socks with patches can serve as a pass. In the midst of the fun, you can hold a competition for the most ridiculous knitted hat or the most tattered socks, the longest scarf or the warmest sweater.

April Fool's party, or the holiday of laughter

This is a party for lovers of humor and fun competitions. Such a holiday will help not very sociable people find new friends, have fun, or simply spend a bright, unforgettable day that will leave many warm, joyful memories. Invitations in the form of comic faces with a funny text or an anecdote on the topic will make guests smile once again. Each guest at the entrance should tell an anecdote or joke; as an option, you can invite guests to appear in some comical outfit, for example, in an old coat or a favorite grandmother’s hat, in a wig and with a clown nose. Pre-planned competitions and games should also make guests forget about indifference, sadness and sadness. At such an evening there should be numerous witty anecdotes, funny toasts, jokes, and good-natured pranks should follow one after another. Competitions should also be non-trivial. For example, you can organize a competition for the fastest eating of sweets or fruits, or organize a dress-up competition, or you can simply hold a competition for wigs made from threads, tinsel or scraps of fabric. It is advisable to capture such an evening in a photo or make a video, and then you will repeat jokes for a long time and fondly remember the funny party.

Literary parties

Literary parties can be dedicated to discussing a new bestseller or a everyone's favorite work. In any case, if organized correctly, it will turn out to be a wonderful holiday. Invitation cards should be sent out in advance (at least a week in advance). An invitation card with the original text of the work (it can be easily copied on a photocopier or typed on a computer) can be designed in the style of the book cover of the selected book. You can also indicate what outfit you need to appear in and what to bring with you.

Party “Presentation of a new film”

What if you gather your friends to watch a new movie, sit comfortably on the sofa, in armchairs or on the floor with popcorn and carbonated drinks, and after watching the film, arrange a real presentation of the new blockbuster? Have the host or hostess play the role of a fashion director, and have some guests become the “starring” of the film.

The party may be attended by reporters, critics and other entourage, which can be selected from among the guests. In order for everything to be quite exciting, you should first make a list of guests, in which each guest is assigned a special role. Then you can start designing invitation cards; it’s a good idea to make them, for example, in the form of a ticket to a movie screening. On one side of such an invitation you should print the date and time of the session, and on the reverse side you should indicate who the guest is being invited as. After the invitation cards have been thought out, designed and sent out, you should create a menu.
The simplest and fastest treat is a variety of cold snacks: mini sandwiches or canapés, salads, croutons and toast, drinks - juice, sparkling water, cocktails, and for dessert - ice cream. In order for the party to be successful and reminiscent of real presentations and festival screenings of films, it is also worth considering what prizes will be awarded to the main actors, director and everyone else. The main thing is that everyone leaves with gifts and a good mood.

Tired of being an adult, responsible and constantly thinking about your future? Do you want a carefree and fun birthday, like in the first years of your life?

The idea of adult parties in the “Kindergarten” style has become quite popular. With every year of “aging”, we increasingly remember our childhood, where our parents solved all our problems for us. Maybe we should go back there, at least for a day?

At first glance, such a themed party is very fussy to organize and does not require significant costs and effort. But the more effort spent on decoration and preparation, the happier the guests’ faces will be. When creating a scenario for a children's-themed party, you need to work out the menu, games and competitions in detail, decorate the celebration location and find a cameraman so that the photos turn out beautiful and bright.

Let's start with the scenario of a fun and simple holiday in the style “Kindergarten – pants with straps”!

1. Whom to invite?

You can invite anyone to such an event. Groups of different ages are acceptable. It’s better not to take your children with you, otherwise you will still remain parents, and the fairytale return to your preschool years will not happen. When creating your guest list, there are two important factors that you should definitely consider:

- how relaxed a person is and has a sense of humor. Bores and those who are afraid of looking unpresentable in a children's outfit - this is not the place;

— comfort and ease in communication between guests. No need to gather a big company. Guests should know each other well and not be afraid to look funny or ridiculous in front of unfamiliar people.

2. Presenter.

If you take on the task of organizing a children's themed party, take on the most responsible role. The role of a kindergarten teacher who is assigned to children from different groups. You will have to direct the fun in the right direction, show what is possible and what is not, put the most naughty boys in the corner, and naughty girls can be spanked, but only by mutual consent.

3. Invitations.

No need to spend money on glossy cards. As a child, did you congratulate your grandparents with purchased cards? You simply took half a piece of album paper, folded it in half, and wrote a meager congratulation in crooked childish letters, crossing out the wrong letter and signing the correct one on top. The text is short and light, for example: “Dear Vitya. I invite you to my birthday. Come to my house on Saturday at 12.00. Ira." Or design an invitation in the form of a popsicle, as in the photo.

4. Time of year. A place for a celebration. Preparation and decor.

If you need to celebrate a birthday in winter, then throw the party indoors. At the end of this article there is a link to an option for holding a similar celebration at home.

But if the celebration takes place in the warm season, we suggest holding it in the courtyard of a private house with a green lawn. In case of bad weather, organize a small tent or decorate a large room of the house, in which you will create a compact stage corner, a place for a festive table and a free corner for naughty hooligans.

Be sure to decorate the entire yard and room with balloons: the more there are, the better! The most colorful, ordinary and with muzzles, large and small, laid out in shapes and randomly scattered. Children love color and air!

Borrow a couple of dozen children's potties from the nearest kindergarten and arrange them into pyramids of 5 pieces.

Garlands made of paper, flags, caps, ribbons, lanterns, multi-colored lights are perfect for a children's party for adults!

Lay colorful tablecloths on the tables. Napkins, plates, cocktail straws, dishes, and everything else - different colors, colorful, shiny, rustling, ringing.
The absolute rule in decor is the brighter the better!

You can organize a corner of the buffet where various delicacies will be displayed in rows.

We move into the yard. Today there is an excellent service: many large or simply expensive toys can be rented(for a week or a month). This is your source of inspiration and the key to a fabulously cool result of the work done.

Rent a compact small play area. Explain to enthusiastic guests that it is better not to use it for its intended purpose, but you NEED to take a couple of super photos! Organize the same basketball hoop and dartboard.

Make your own or borrow a sandbox. Be sure to pour a couple of buckets of sand into it; if you really want to, you can fully use it for its intended purpose. Place 1-2 standard children's sets on the sand: a bucket, a scoop, rakes, Easter eggs...

Place a small inflatable pool filled with water nearby: you have an elite kindergarten where parents pay extra for swimming lessons!

5. Dress code.

All guests are different in temperament and “approach to business.” Therefore, you shouldn’t be extremely strict when it comes to costumes. Someone may want to be a one-year-old baby doll in a diaper and with a pacifier in his mouth. Someone would like to come, as if to a matinee, in the form of a pirate, a wolf, Carlson or Pippi Longstocking! Let them be whoever they want.
The simplest option: boys wear simple T-shirts (it would be cool with Ninja Turtles) and shorts, and girls wear bright dresses, knee socks, sandals and bows in their hair.

6. Menu.

Semolina porridge, cottage cheese casserole and milk with foam! Place them in the most visible place! The rest of the dishes are normal, but it’s better to decorate them like a child!

Beverages. Place on two edges of the table a large enamel bucket with the inscription in red paint: “compote” and “compote of dried fruits.” Put a ladle in each bucket - it's so kindergarten-like! Let the second one be true. Fill the first bucket with alcoholic punch, which can be made as follows.

« To prepare cold fruit punch, take: lemon and orange juices 100 ml, sugar - 3 tablespoons, cherries - 100 grams, 1 orange, 5 bananas, rum or cognac - 150 ml. Mix juices with cognac, adding sugar. Mix pitted cherries with sliced fruit. Cool and add ice cubes before serving. Increase the serving size based on the number of people invited to the party.».

For other alcoholic drinks, it is also better to use various cocktails with vodka and liqueur, which will look like lemonade or a harmless vitamin mojito!

7. Music.

Be sure to prepare 2-3 dances for the children in your group. What would it be like without the little ducklings dancing? Otherwise, pick up fun hits that were popular in your childhood. For some, these might be the songs of Vadim Kazachenko, Yura Shatunov, the group “Tender May”, and the incendiary “Faina” from the boy band “Na-Na”? And there are “Ivanushki”, “Demo”, “Hands Up”, “Virus”. The main thing is catchy and funny hits! Leave Vysotsky and Tsoi for a lyrical party in the style of “The Old One about the Main Thing,” or something like that.

8. Entertainment.

Music is an essential part of fun and should be played continuously. In addition, place the TV on a stool, turn on silent (recorded), cartoons: “Well, wait a minute!”, “Tom and Jerry”, “Masha and the Bear”, “Prostokvashino”... Let the 25th frame work: everyone will involuntarily remember nostalgia of childhood anticipation of a cartoon...

As a kindergarten teacher, give your students in advance sheets of poems that they need to know by heart. After 3-4 glasses of fruit compote, invite the “children” to recite the prepared poems: “And now, Mashenka will tell a poem about...”. Everyone stands on a chair in the center of the room and tells. Choose funny and not quite nursery rhymes. Ask to approach a solo performance with complete transformation: you need to burr, lisp, slightly swallow the words, and most importantly, slowly draw out what was said, you can even stammer and truly forget the words! And you, as a teacher, give me some advice. Here is an example of such a poem:

The hare came out onto the porch
Scratch your egg.
I put my hands in - there is no egg,
So he fell off the porch.
He looked under the porch,
There I found my egg.
Not one, but five!
So he flopped down again.

Ask those invited to repeat or learn the words of the songs “A smile makes everyone brighter” and Little Red Riding Hood’s song about Africa. It will be great to sing them at the top of your lungs, into two microphones at home karaoke!

And what would we do without fun competitions? Guests need to settle down their buns and compote!

Competition "Ride Faster". There are 3-4 bags on the lawn. Competitors climb into them and race to the finish line. The teacher records the time and rewards the winner with candy.

Competition "Milk Race". Pour, say, Baileys into baby bottles (with a nipple with a small hole) (it's much more interesting to drink than milk, and it's also harder to do because of its thicker consistency). Not the whitest fresh milk, but we’ll close our gullible children’s eyes to that! The winner becomes even more cheerful after such a miracle drink and receives an incentive “chupa chups”!

Competition “Eat me faster!” Invite two participants to empty the plate of semolina porridge as quickly as possible! The winner, well, you know about the candy...

Competition “The sea is agitated”. The birthday boy says the cherished: “The sea worries once, the sea worries two, the sea worries three, the sea figure freezes in place!” Each one depicts a specific animal or character. The teacher must capture this spectacle in a photo! The winner is determined by the birthday boy.

Three-point shot competition. If you do have a basketball hoop, give two people three attempts to shoot a basket from, say, 3 meters away. The best basketball player gets candy again.

Competition "Who am I?" Place a sticker with a fairy-tale or cartoon character on everyone's forehead. He must guess who he is by asking questions to those present: “Am I an inspired object? Man? Woman? Animal?" and so on. As riddled characters you can use Pinocchio, Pierrot, Carlson, Sailor Moon (if you remember this cartoon anime), Cheburashka, Koshchei, Luntik, Kolobok...

Competition "Upgraded damaged phone." Two teams are participating. The teacher asks the same word to the last person from each column (3-4 people), who draws this object with his finger on the back of the neighbor standing in front of him. In turn, the “receiver of the information” must reproduce the same on the next spin. The latter draws on paper what he managed to understand. The team that was able to display the hidden word wins. Such a word could be: watermelon, cup, apple. Believe me, even the simplest word can become a dead end for guests!

Incentive gifts for participants: soft toys, a bottle of soap bubbles, large lollipops or chocolates. The main prize is two cinema tickets to the premiere of the cartoon!

9. And the last thing!

Take photos! With each other, with the teacher, in the children's pool, sandbox, during competitions, dances!

Fool around! Throw pillows and call people names! This is so straightforward, ingenuous, childish! This is the kind of kindergarten where they won’t put you to bed during a terribly unloved “quiet hour”, won’t force you to pee on a cold potty, won’t check for a change of underwear!

Forget yourself as an adult: tomorrow this serious person will again take the papers and go to the same job, with the same responsibilities. And today, a young lawless boy who laughs loudly, pulls cute Pippi’s braid, and sprinkles flour on the teacher’s chair...

The proposed scenario is suitable for organizing a relaxation evening, corporate or friendly party dedicated to any holiday on February 23. On March 8, or the company’s anniversary, for this it is enough to add only a few congratulatory moments on a specific occasion and “dilute” the competition program with concert numbers and active competitions.

Party scenario "Motley Blitz"- universal, light and entertaining, optimal for, for example, a women's group or for any other holiday. (Thanks to the author of the idea)

The introductory part of the "Motley Blitz" party scenario.

To successfully organize a game program, the presenter will need two assistants. From the props, you need to prepare 30 cards on which the letters of the alphabet and multi-colored tokens will be written to encourage correct answers and counting points.

Leading: Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! Please note how I greeted you. Isn’t it true, it entered our lives quite recently, some 10 - 15 years. Otherwise we wouldn’t be able to avoid the official and once popular greeting: “Hello, comrades!” However, when greeting, I prefer the address: “friends”; it seems to me the most appropriate, because at any festive table we try to gather with people close to us. Sometimes, however, the opposite happens: we become close friends not before, but after we find ourselves together at a common holiday feast. This is what I personally sincerely wish for everyone and for which I propose to raise our glasses!

(short banquet break with pleasant musical accompaniment)

Table game "Auction of greetings"

Leading: So, good evening, friends! My name is (Name), our DJ (Name) and today we will be happy to spend several pleasant hours with you! And since we traditionally started with greetings, I would like to draw your attention to how diverse and unexpected they are among different peoples. For example, in India and Nepal they say to each other “Namaste!”, which means “I greet the god in you who has met me!” And among the Eskimos, the joy of meeting is expressed by pressing your upper lip and nose and breathing into your face. What original greetings do you know?

The guests answer, and the host tries to comment on their answers as wittily as possible.

Game with the hall "Auction of concepts""

Leading: Agree that people generally try not to say anything in vain. Well, with the exception of some individuals, let's not point fingers (as if hinting at himself)! We even strive to sum up a person’s entire social status into one word. For example, what do we call a child who is just getting ready to go to school? (guests answer). That's right, preschooler! And the one who finishes his studies? Graduate! What if a person loves and knows how to cut other people’s hair? Of course, the hairdresser! And the one who skillfully performs tricks? That's right again - a magician! It’s really interesting to think about our own language and the words that we use every day! So our “Motley Blitz” is dedicated to knowledge and discovering simple and familiar words!

The beat sounds - a cheerful melody that will accompany the entire game.

Leading: So, the finale, super game! I ask the three finalists of the previous rounds to come to me! I see that we have a very nice company. By the way, I would really like to know about you, dear participants, a little more than just your name. Therefore, let me ask you to tell us a little about yourself in exactly the manner that we took as the basis for the terms of our competition, tell us something most characteristic and recognizable about yourself. Please, who's first?

(players introduce themselves)

Leading: Great, again our conditions are already familiar to you: I invite you to the starting position, stand on the same line. We will not be original and will continue the competition in the same spirit, we will only change the topic, since those who collected the largest number of winning chips have gathered here, the break will be dedicated to the topic of collecting and collecting. Begin…

If I:
- I collect stamps, which means I... (philatelist),
- collecting coins ... (numismatist),
- match labels ... (philumenist),
- paper money ... (bonist),
- I collect postcards ... (philocartist),
- collecting books ... (bibliophile),
- icons ... (falerist),
- art objects ... (antique).

The winner of the final is determined; it is the one who, after all the questions from the presenter, is ahead of his rivals.

Leading: Our “Motley Blitz” has come to its logical conclusion, as we have a winner, an absolute winner of the game. Fanfare and a prize for the winner!…

Musical fanfare. Award ceremony for the winner. The losers are awarded consolation prizes.

Leading: How many different names, definitions and epithets accompany us in our lives. We know all of them, thanks to them, we can express a lot in one word. They are our helpers and saviors.
Game over. May everything be fine with you! Good luck to everyone and goodbye!

The musical theme is the leitmotif of the program.
