Ideas for school ball competitions. Graduation competitions - interesting and funny

Often, after the end of the prom, not the most interesting moments of it are remembered. The ceremonial part with sentimental and touching speeches and the presentation of certificates will definitely be remembered. What about the festive, banquet part of it? Let your graduation be remembered with fun games and competitions!

We offer games, sweepstakes and competitions for the graduation party, which can be used during any festive events, and especially for last evening high school students.

Competitions for guests sitting at festive tables

Dates and numbers

The presenter invites the children to remember the most significant events in the life of the class and school, which were probably erased from memory by the time of graduation... Especially dates and other numbers, for example:

What year did you enter first grade?
What year did you graduate from primary school?
How many years have geography been studied at school? What about chemistry?
What is the number for the school principal's office?
How many steps are there on the stairs from the first to the last floor of the school?
How many steps (on average) are there from the nearest bus stop to the school?
How many bus routes stops at the nearest stop?
How many subjects did you study in your senior year? And how much for all school years?
Remember your classmates' birthdays. Whose date is closest to the beginning of the calendar year? Who celebrates their last birthday of the year?

There are a great many questions, the main thing is that there is no need for hackneyed and cliched ones. For each correct answer - a pre-prepared token (ticket, forfeit, candy, etc.). The prize is given to the one who received the most tokens.

I recognize you by name

Each group at the table was given an envelope with separate letters, from which they need to make up the last, first and patronymic names of the teacher, head teacher or director of the educational institution. All groups have different personalities, but the same total quantity letters Students do not know who is encrypted. The winners are the team that guessed the fastest and completed the task.

This competition is also interesting because each of the encrypted name owners can then be given the floor to congratulate the graduates.

Burime

The presenter gives each group of children printed words - rhymes, and they need to compose a poem-burime on a school topic:

To school - for fun.
Teaching is torture.
Cheerful - new settlers.
Hiking - as you go.
Labor will be erased.
Lover is supreme.

You can create rhymes that will be understandable to this particular class, related to their traveling together, trips, meetings (for example, “museum - Colosseum”) The prize goes to the team that came up with the most interesting poem.

Hero of our time

We invite children, parents and teachers to decide which of the graduates is most suitable for the images of literary heroes (and along the way they will have to remember who this description belongs to):

Thus, we can recall important or simply memorable literary characters: Ilya Muromets, Nightingale the Robber, The Inspector General, The Peasant Young Lady, Poor Lisa, Alice in Wonderland, Margarita from “The Master and Margarita”, etc.

Ask the presenter or talented graduates to come up with descriptions of literary characters in advance. Agree, this is very educational game for the graduating class! After its completion, be sure to reward the most well-read players with prizes!

Forecast Bureau

This is a task, as they say, for the future. We hand out paper and pens to 11th grade graduates, let everyone write how they see themselves in 15 years (you can set another deadline, but 5 or 10 is not enough to achieve something outstanding).

Let everyone imagine themselves at a respectable age, describe their future family, position in society, profession, place of work or residence.

We carefully roll each leaf into a tube and place it in a specially prepared box or vase where they will be stored.

If one of the parents or class teacher will leave these letters as a keepsake; years later it will be very interesting to read and evaluate whose predictions were closest to the truth.

Graduation 2017

Usually competitions at such holidays are different years repeat, smoothly flowing from one scenario to another, but graduation party 2017 should be remembered for something special. You can write 2017 wishes to the school or give the class teacher that many flowers.

For example, number 2: Kaverin’s book “Two Captains”, the song “Two Cheerful Geese”, Reshetnikov’s Painting “Two Again”, etc.
The associations with the number zero are interesting. For example, someone will remember the saying “zero without a stick,” while someone’s imagination or memory will suggest something completely unexpected.
By analogy, we remember everything connected with the numbers 1 and 6. Let both children and adults fantasize!

Songs about school

Remember songs that in one way or another relate to school themes or were heard in films about students. Condition: be sure to perform the chorus or one verse! The team that performed the excerpt most recently receives a prize.

Competitions on the dance floor

Molecules

As you know, molecules are made up of atoms. All the graduates go out onto the dance floor and depict atoms dancing alone (moving chaotically in space).

Dance geography

Participants are divided into groups of 5-6 people. They dance, depicting the national and dance characteristics of the people, whose characteristic music sounds:

If you dance one verse or a characteristic passage from each melody, you will still end up with a dance battle for 20–30 minutes. Teachers and parents evaluate the performers with applause. Whoever gets the loudest applause is the winner!

Switching roles

This is another dance competition. Parents and teachers are invited to the dance floor - they form one team, and the students form another. Each team has its own task:

Adults should show how, in their opinion, young people dance in clubs and discos to typical youth music.
For complexity and interest, you can play them something from club dance tunes - from hip-hop and R&B to techno and house styles.
And for young people, accordingly, offer melodies in the style of “disco of the 80s” for dancing, and ask them to perform dances with characteristic movements those years when their parents and teachers were young.

Very fun competition! It's especially fun to watch adults getting lost in the rhythms of club music.

The house that...

Everyone knows the poem "The House That Jack Built." Before the competition begins, players are given roles:

The presenter reads the poem, and the players try to act out their roles when their words are called. For example, the “house” stands up straight and makes a roof over its head with its hands, the “tit” flutters its wings, “Chulan” squats down, “Jack” depicts a builder laying bricks, and so on. Moreover, the characters must interact with each other. “Jack” - with “house”, “wheat” - in an embrace with “closet”, “cat” catches “tit”, etc. Quite a cool competition.

The humor is that as the poem progresses, the presenter not only often repeats the same role words, but also speeds up the pace.

Artists need to carefully follow the text and do everything correctly, interacting with each other. The end result is still confusion, leapfrog and a lot of laughter!

Crossing

Participants line up in two or three columns (like a train) on one line. Task: answering the leader’s questions correctly, take a step forward and get to the other shore. You can confer without breaking the column (this will be the most difficult). Having answered correctly, the entire column takes a step forward. Those who did not have time (answered later or incorrectly) remain in place. The first team to cross the crossing wins.

The questions should, of course, be from the school curriculum:

Mathematics

Everyone stands in a general circle and, starting with the leader, calls numbers from one to one hundred in turn. Condition: all numbers in which the number 2 occurs must be replaced with the phrase “Mom, I’m sorry!”, and the number 6 with the exclamation “Wow!”

Thus, they will be called: one - mom, sorry - three - four - five - wow - seven - eight - nine - ten - eleven - mom, sorry, etc. The main thing is to set a good pace from the very beginning, and when participants will reach the numbers 16, 22, 26, 32, 36, it will be fun to follow the players and participate in the competition.

Whoever makes a mistake leaves the circle, and the team continues counting. The winner is the most attentive and persistent.

Game for everyone during prom

"Secret Friend"

The game is quite well-known and loved by many, so I would also like to suggest playing it as entertainment for the prom.

At the beginning of the evening, the boys pull notes from the box on which the names of the girls are written, and the girls - the names of the boys. The one whose name came with the note is your secret friend. Throughout the evening, without revealing to anyone secret name your friend, you can and should provide him (her) special signs attention, make surprises, gifts, pleasant little things: an invitation to dance, a compliment, a flower. At the end of the evening, everyone tries to guess who was whose secret friend. In any case, the secret is revealed.

It’s also good to play “secret friend” with teachers and parents. Competitions specifically for parents are rarely held, but adults (fathers, mothers and teachers) can take part in the game both together and in parallel with high school students. And, believe me, then their toasts, dances, congratulations and compliments will become especially bright and unusual!

Mail

Same famous game, but for some reason it is often forgotten and not taken seriously in the age of mobile technology - a classic of the genre. Although the age of 17-18 is a romantic and sentimental age for boys and girls, and therefore postal messages will come in handy at graduation, when the whole class gets together for the last time.

In a real or specially prepared mailbox for this day, you can, after signing an envelope, put a message to any person if you want to say something to him at the end.

Condition: no offensive statements from the senders and no offense from nonsense from the recipients.

We leave envelopes, pens, and paper next to the mailbox. We open it at the very end of the evening, and everyone will decide for themselves where and when to read the messages. Most often, it is these letters that remain as souvenirs in school yearbooks and girls’ diaries, and not SMS messages and letters on social networks.

It depends only on you what kind of competitions will be held at the prom: funny, intellectual, romantic or stupid and offensive. Under no circumstances should you leave this component of the last ball to chance; do not trust the hosts to prepare the evening 100%.

It makes sense to discuss in advance which competitions are preferable for your children and what you do not want to allow. In order not to blush later from hearing nonsense or vulgar games, think through this part of the evening thoroughly. After all, it is not the quantity of dishes on the tables, but the quality of the interesting time spent that graduates will remember for a long time.

Many people say that a birthday is both a happy and sad holiday. This is really so, because on this day a person understands that a year of life has flown by. But this only applies to adults, because children do not delve into such moments, so on their birthday they have fun with all their hearts. However, they have another holiday, which is both sad and happy. It's about about the last bell of school, which means that children will not be able to see their favorite classmates for the whole summer. But with the help of games and competitions for the Last Bell, you can make this holiday so fun that schoolchildren will have no time to be sad.

Draw the school year

This competition is great for students of all grade levels. The teacher asks all students to draw on a large canvas of paper the moment that they remember most in the past academic year. To do this, it is not necessary to have remarkable drawing abilities. This competition does not evaluate artistic talents, but is held only so that schoolchildren remember the cheerful, bright and interesting points that happened at school during the year.

Try to guess

To participate in this competition, the teacher calls willing students and blindfolds them with scarves. Any object is placed on the table in front of each student, and the participants must guess what exactly is standing or lying in front of them. But don’t think that this is easy to do, because participants are only allowed to touch the object with a pen or pencil in their hand. The one who can know the subject first wins.

Sweet predictions

This competition is only suitable for graduating classes. For this you need to order a large cake. It must be cut into many small pieces so that their number corresponds to the number of students in the class. To each piece you need to attach a piece of paper with a prediction about what the graduate will become after school, for example, an athlete, musician, actor, businessman or astronaut. You can attach a prediction to the cake in different ways, for example, using a toothpick.

Instead of a cake for graduates, you can order Chinese cookies with predictions. With this confectionery product the competition will take place more fun. Especially if you approach the predictions themselves with humor.

Tower of Babel

This Last Bell competition is suitable not only for graduates, but also for students of all classes. The presenter announces that with the help of this competition he wants to check how the students have learned to interact with each other over the year. He invites them to divide into teams of 5 people, whose task is to build the highest possible tower from a construction set in one minute. The winner is the team that managed to build the tallest and most durable tower from the construction set.

School crocodile

The teacher divides the students into two teams. After this, each team selects one representative. The selected participant must draw a word with chalk on the board that the opposing team wishes for him. The participant’s task is to depict the hidden word so that the team can guess it. No more than three minutes are given to guess the word. The team that manages to guess the answer wins nai more drawings.

Fact or Fiction

Each student tells a story that happened to him at school during the school year. The story can be either fictional or real. The other participants' task is to determine whether the student was lying or telling the truth. The winner is the one who managed to identify the most invented stories.

Message to descendants

The teacher asks students to record a video with a message in which they need to wish something to people from the future. If the last call takes place in junior classes, then the wish can be written down to an adult self. Well, graduates can record a message as first graders. The competition will look both touching and fun.

Associations

Schoolchildren are divided into pairs. The presenter calls the first team and gives one of the participants pre-prepared cards in which they write various words. The participant reads what is written on the card, but does not pronounce this word, but only describes it in his own words. For example, if the word "Ice Cream" is written on the card, the participant might say, "Cold and sweet." If he comes across a card with the word “Sea,” then he can describe this word as “Deep and salty.” The team that can guess the most words wins.

To conduct this competition you need to prepare in advance large number cards so that there are enough for everyone who wants to participate. With the help of this competition, you can find out how students have learned to express their thoughts over the school year.

Our school

The host of the Last Bell divides everyone present into two teams and announces a quiz about knowledge of the school. He asks the teams questions that are somehow related to the school. For example, he may ask, “How many teachers are there in the school?”, “When was the school founded?” or “How many classes are there in the school?” These questions may be too difficult for those present, so you can prepare answers for them. The team that knows the school better and was able to give more correct answers wins.

Sushi

Students will definitely enjoy this Last Bell competition. To carry it out, you need to prepare several pairs of sushi chopsticks and several plates of food, for example, sliced apples or chocolates. The challenge is to empty your plate as quickly as possible using chopsticks.

Alphabet

In the lower grades, all students know the alphabet because they are forced to learn it. But older schoolchildren forget the alphabet, because it is completely unnecessary for them to know it. To conduct this competition, you need to draw two identical squares on the board, which must be divided into 33 fragments. After this, you need to select two teams of six people. The participants' task is to fill in each of the 33 squares with one letter of the alphabet. Whoever copes with this faster wins.

In order to complicate the competition, you need to ask participants to write down the letters not in alphabetical order, but randomly. This will force the participants to really work as a team, because they will have to work together to keep track of which letters are written.

Guess the teacher

Each teacher at school has his own behavioral characteristics. Based on this, you can hold a really fun competition for the Last Bell, which will delight not only students, but also teachers.

The presenter calls one person at a time and asks him to take out a piece of paper from the box on which the name of a particular teacher is written. The participant needs to show this teacher without words, focusing on the peculiarities of his behavior. There are teachers who are quite easy to show off, but there are also those who do not have pronounced characteristics. So this competition will not be equally simple for everyone. One student must show the teacher, and the other participants must guess who exactly is being shown to them. The winner of the competition is determined by popular vote. Students and teachers must choose the person who best fits the role.

Farewell evening educational institution must become a bright and memorable event. And they will help you achieve a noble goal fun games and graduation competitions. These original ideas will involve all the participants in the celebration and give them a great mood!

Capitals of the world

This competition will test who knows the capitals of the world better, parents or their children. So, teams of parents and graduates are formed. The presenter names the capital, whoever raises his hand first answers and names the corresponding country. The team whose team has the most correct answers is the winner.

Puzzle the class teacher

For this competition, the presenter must communicate with the children and draw up brief description about each of them, for example: he is modest, good at mathematics, plays the guitar and loves sports, or she is beautiful, but does not really like to study, draws wonderfully and sings wonderfully. And the class teacher, based on such proposals, must guess which of her students is being discussed.

Best Waltz

In this competition, couples will dance the waltz. Whoever has the most beautiful and best dance will receive a prize. But, there is one “but”, you need to dance the waltz with your backs to each other.

King and Queen

This competition consists of a secret ballot box located in the hall throughout the evening, next to which there are leaves and pens. Each of the guests of the evening, taking into account activity, energy, artistry, cheerful character, playfulness, enthusiasm, beauty, extravagance and other qualities, must decide for whom he will vote, who is worthy of the title of King and Queen of the ball. At the end of the celebration, the votes are counted and the King and Queen are announced, who can be awarded with homemade crowns (similar crowns can also be bought in the store).

The last bell rings

Boys and girls participate in pairs. If the age of the children does not allow the boys to take the girls on their shoulders, they join hands, and older children form a couple like this - the boy takes the girl on one shoulder or on the shoulders, whichever is more convenient. They are given a ringing bell. The task of each pair is to cover a certain distance the fastest, while shouting loudest last call.

Parents vs Children

A team of parents and a team of children are formed. The presenter takes turns turning on music, for example, the dance of little ducklings, lambada, macarena, and so on. Whoever performs best in dance - children or parents - are the winners.

My favorite teacher

Everyone in turn is invited to the center of the hall and shows their favorite teacher with gestures and facial expressions. It will be very interesting for everyone how well the children know their teachers and their characteristic features. The rest of the children and guests must guess who the participant is showing. The most artistic person is awarded an Oscar.

The last bell is the day of farewell to school. Entertainment program will make the holiday fun and bright. Outdoor games and team competitions between classes will amuse children. Interesting quizzes will give students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and broaden their horizons.

The competition involves 2 teams of schoolchildren of 7 people each. This can be an inter-class or intra-class competition.

The facilitator places a chair in front of each group of participants on which lies a briefcase, school supplies (notebooks, pens, books, pencil case, pencils, ruler, album) and non-school items (soccer ball, T-shirt, jump rope).

The teams' task is to collect school supplies in their briefcase as quickly as possible. One player has the right to place one item. The catch is that the participants, trying to complete the relay as quickly as possible, forget about what can be put in the briefcase and what cannot.

The team that completes the task correctly and faster than its opponents wins.

The competition involves 2 classes with approximately the same number of students. The participants' task is to line up by last name as they are written in the journal.

The team that completes the task faster and correctly wins. To make the competition more difficult, participants can be blindfolded.

A creative competition in which schoolchildren can show their imagination. It involves 2 teams. Each of them receives a sheet of paper and a pen.

The participants’ task is to create as many new names for familiar ones as possible in 2 minutes. school subjects. For example, a subject such as mathematics can be replaced by the word number cruncher, biology by flower picking, drawing by caricature.

The team that comes up with the most original names for school subjects wins.

Game "Knowledge Path"

Educational game. Children who are confident in their knowledge of various school subjects participate.

On the floor of the classroom or school yard in front of each participant, the presenter lays out sheets of paper in the form of a path with pre-printed text: mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, Russian language, literature. Players take turns stepping on each leaf and saying a rule or association that relates to the science written on the leaf. For example: literature - Anton Pavlovich Chekhov; algebra - the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse; physics - there are three types of aggregative states of substances. Repeating rules already stated by previous participants is prohibited.

The winner is the player who does not miss the name sheets and tells one rule for each subject.

Two teams of schoolchildren participate in the competition. Each of them receives a sheet of paper on which 33 squares are drawn.

The participants’ task is to take turns writing the letters of the alphabet into the squares so that they are not repeated. The order of placement does not matter.

The winner is the team that fills all the squares faster and does not allow repetitions of the same letters.

Game "Identify the object"

10 children are playing. They are divided equally into 2 teams. To play the game you will need cards with the names of school supplies.

After the game starts, the participants in each group take turns approaching the leader and drawing a card at random. Their task is to describe to their team members what is written on it, without saying the word itself. For example: a participant pulls out a card with the word “notebook”. He can explain this item this way: specially sewn sheets, lined or squared, are intended for writing. Each player is given 1 minute to explain the word. After the team guesses the item or time runs out, the next participant draws a new card. After the leader's signal "stop" the game ends.
