February alumni meetings have long become a good tradition for many adults. They are especially pleasant because they are a kind of excursion into childhood - the happiest time in a person’s life. It’s so nice to see again the institution that gave me a start in life, to communicate with classmates - a special cohort of people with whom I share a common childhood and common experiences.
First stage: planning
How does a meeting of classmates begin? From a preliminary (2-3 months in advance) discussion in a narrow circle of graduates who decided to become an initiative group that will plan a meeting of classmates. The scenario for the future action must be chosen from the possible options:
- initially a meeting within the walls of the school simply in a close circle;
- participation in organizing graduate day throughout the school or only for your class (parallel classes);
- the location of the unofficial part of the celebration;
- Possibility of using transport and office equipment.
If the initiators come to an agreement on the choice of option, they proceed to the second fundamentally important stage of preparation - calling or otherwise notifying classmates.
Decide on location
Once the guest list has been outlined, you need to figure out where to best host your alumni reunion. There can be many options. For example, you can agree with the school principal and hold a festive event in your home class. It will be a very atmospheric party. You can even seat your classmates at their desks without moving the tables. But not all directors will allow you to organize such an event at school. Keep in mind, there were a lot of graduations and everyone was eager to spend time in their class. You can count on such generosity only if you have an anniversary date, for example, 10 or 25 years from the date of graduation. What if it is not possible to hold an alumni reunion at school? In this case, you can rent a room. You can find a large banquet hall, and it will not be a restaurant, but just a room. The advantage of this option is that you do not have to order food and pay additionally for the show program. If, on the contrary, you want wild fun, not limited to a close circle of classmates, then you can go to a restaurant. On graduation days, establishments host entertainment events that will help make the party memorable. In this case, you won’t even need to buy your own groceries and cut salads.
Calling. Correction of the initiative group. Presenter selection
Sometimes it’s not an easy task to find and notify them! After all, many live in other cities, and some even abroad. As experience shows, those traveling for permanent residence often have both the desire and the opportunity to fly. However, you need to inform them in advance so that they can plan their vacation.
Callers inform their interlocutors how and where classmates are planning to meet. The scenario is presented in general terms. In a conversation, it is important to initiate the next stage of notification (maybe your interlocutor knows contact information for some classmate that you do not have). In the process of calling, the composition of the holiday initiative group is adjusted.
It is advisable to schedule the next meeting of the initiative group a month before graduation day, i.e. immediately after the Christmas holidays.
From the many options for this holiday, the initiative group chooses the optimal one. Most often, the choice is minimalism - an evening in a cafe for classmates usually involves a reunion of graduates.
The scenario in its initial stage assumes:
- A preliminary meeting with the class teacher and (or) with your favorite teacher. Inviting them to the official part of the holiday.
- Buying bouquets for teachers.
- Gathering of school friends directly at the home school 15-20 minutes before the start of the celebration.
How to organize an alumni reunion party?! Script ideas.
3. Idea for a “Many Years Later” meeting evening.
If the alumni meeting is planned in the form of a friendly feast, we can propose the idea of a fun exam.
It is best to seat people from the same class side by side and give them “exam cards.” The content of the tickets could be as follows: make a “learned toast”; remember the nicknames of your classmates; name the names and patronymics of the teachers working with the class; remember what subject Raisa Georgievna and Valeria Arkadyevna taught; count how many camping trips the class took part in or list the names of everyone who had “A’s” in singing, but “C” in physical education.
Please note that one ticket requires one question, and there will be several participating classes, each with about ten people. Don't forbid graduates from conferring - this will ensure everyone's fun. We advise the presenter of the evening to set a good pace from the very beginning so that the fun exam is dynamic and does not become boring. However, if graduates want to tell an incident related to the question on the ticket, it is best to give them this opportunity, because they have gathered precisely to remember their school life.
As a result of the exam, there is a ceremonial removal of cakes decorated with a school theme and a holiday, which everyone spends at their own discretion.
4. The idea of the evening meeting “What we were, what we have become.”
If a very large influx of guests is expected at the alumni evening, then it is wiser not to organize a centralized celebration, but to scatter it throughout the entire premises of your favorite school, organizing various “memory sites”.
In one of the foyers you can arrange a photo and video salon, where graduates can view their old photographs in memorial albums, see recordings of graduations or exams. We highly recommend hanging up old wall newspapers, which the class teachers or other school activists probably still have.
In another foyer you can arrange a dance hall (by selecting in advance music that clearly characterizes certain periods of our life: songs by Magomayev, the group “Tender May”, “ABBA”, etc.). The music program will be greatly enhanced by the comments of the DJ, who before each composition will remind a little about the features of a particular time: name the director, the number of graduates of such and such a year, graduation number - this is necessary so that the guests who come recognize themselves in the mentioned “eras”. .
We recommend decorating the third foyer in a “pioneer” style. This idea will appeal to older people. Invite graduates to recall the texts of chants, the pioneer oath, and compare the texts of the national anthem in the Soviet and modern editions. It would be good if there was an opportunity to play the bugle and knock on the Pioneer drum.
Decorate the walls of the next foyer or classroom with blank sheets of Whatman paper. The sheets should have headings: “The “richest” dad”, “The youngest mother”, “And I’m already a mother-in-law!” or “And I’m already a grandfather!” Everyone will be able to leave notes on them that correspond to the situation - it will be very nice to read these “testimonies of time” at the next meeting.
5. Idea for a meeting evening. Long live the concert!
To organize a holiday for former graduates, the best option is a concert, in which mainly current students of the school participate. The concert program may include dance and vocal performances of school amateur performances. It is quite acceptable to include various short dramatizations of humorous content, for example, entitled “How I spent this summer.”
It will be great if you can call in advance the most active graduates of past years, and they will prepare a return concert performance (for example, a skit similar in plot to Chekhov’s story “Fat and Thin” - only classmates who have not seen each other for a long time meet).
The concert script should not be loaded with a large number of characters and an overly complex plot. It will be enough to build it “on three pillars”: the past, present and future of a school capable of educating such wonderful people. The whole action should not last more than an hour and a half.
We highly recommend that you include school statistics in the concert’s presentation regarding the number of students the school has graduated over the years of its activity, and name the names of outstanding students. It would be appropriate to remember those who died while paying their debt to their homeland.
Also, before the start of the meeting, you can register all the guests and invite everyone to fill out a questionnaire, based on its results during the concert, announce various statistical data, including funny ones: how many children were born, what professions they work in, what percentage of graduates achieved their school dream, etc. .P.
But this is possible with a small influx of graduates or with a solid composition of those who process it - after all, it must be done quickly (in 30-40 minutes, an hour and a half) in order to have time to include it in the conference. Such things always bring to the event a feeling of special unity among its participants - involvement in a common cause! For major anniversaries, the traditional idea of a preliminary survey can help out. We offer an option written with humor, which immediately puts you in a positive mood for the upcoming meeting (thanks to the author)

Whatever idea you choose for a alumni meeting , try to organize as much as possible not only the time, but also the space of the classrooms, assembly hall and school foyers. Everything should “work” so that people who come to meet with classmates have the opportunity not only to “listen” to the ceremonial part, but also to communicate with teachers and among themselves.
By organizing an evening for former graduates, the organizers strive to ensure that everyone experiences extremely positive emotions associated with the best years of their lives.

Communication planning. The role of the presenter
The most important thing at the second meeting is to outline the structure of future communication, elegantly grouping classmates by work, hobbies, and also thinking about how the word will move from one person to another. For example, a conversation about student children can be such a “transition” if there is a meeting of classmates 20 years later. The scenario of the unofficial part can be planned as a thematic one, for example, disco of the 80s, 90s, barbecue party, etc.
The celebration itself requires the presence of a host. Who else, if not classmates, should know who exactly to appoint to this role. But if old friends are gathering, then it is logical to choose one of them. It is he who will implement the scenario. However, support and playing along with him from his classmates are guaranteed in advance. In this article we will also prefer to describe an amateur scenario, which is planned and carried out by classmates themselves.
Response from teachers at the alumni meeting
Graduates always say a few kind words to their former teachers and mentors. But teachers often congratulate graduates on the holiday. Here are a few lines from teachers to graduates:
Just recently, hiding behind bouquets, you entered the first class with excitement. And now, with parting advice, the Native School sees you off.
Childhood remains in the school corridors, The bells have fallen silent, the noise and din have subsided, And only memories in conversations Sound quietly everywhere, here and there.
And there is something to remember: ups and downs, And, laughter and tears, friendship and love; How my head “cracked” from studying, And the enamel of my teeth “was rubbed off on granite.”
Identification of critical issues
Our recommendation: carry out detailed planning at the second meeting of the initiative group. In particular, a team of like-minded people is planning a meeting of classmates 20 years later. The theme evening scenario, in our opinion, involves some “taboo” of communication with classmates. This refers to “forbidden” topics (the loss of a loved one, a difficult divorce, a serious illness).
Why should they be discussed and identified in advance? It is important to exclude the very possibility that a person who came to celebrate will be accidentally upset by a direct and difficult question.
About drawing up a holiday budget
It is important to correctly calculate the cost of the celebration. In any case, it will include a certain group of expenses. The scenario for an evening meeting of classmates necessarily involves buying flowers for teachers (usually the class teacher, a favorite teacher) and paying for renting a cafe.
However, a more creative approach (involving the presentation of souvenirs for winning competitions, taking photos, decorating the premises) will entail additional costs.
It is advisable to optimize the compiled cost estimate through the volunteer work of fellow volunteer classmates. Naturally, we should proceed with their full consent in mind.
For example, the scenario of a meeting of classmates 30 years later, with its creative planning, involves the appointment of those responsible for:
- collecting money according to estimates;
- photographing;
- a selection of school photographic materials;
- holding competitions;
- making humorous gifts, certificates for classmates and your favorite teacher.
Agree, in this case, preparation really requires preliminary labor costs. But the effect is completely different! After all, it’s one thing when a meeting of classmates (scenario 30 years later) is limited, for example, to a statement of a person’s absence for a good reason. And it’s another thing, when right in the cafe (as if by magic) there will be a PC with a mobile WI-Fi router and the Skype program running, with the help of which friends will communicate with it. Naturally, the agreement with this person to get in touch should be carried out by the initiators in advance.
Choose music
What helps create a festive atmosphere? Of course, music. What songs would be most appropriate for a graduation party? Definitely not modern pop. Undoubtedly, there will be people who like it, but still the majority will be against it. Therefore, it is better not to install anything modern. Remember those songs that were played at school discos. Songs for homecoming evening will help people mentally return to their childhood years and once again relive the excitement that always gripped them before going to the dance. But such a retro disco will be appropriate when everyone wants to dance. And what kind of music should be playing at the moment when classmates are just getting ready or saying hello? Probably, for every person the very first day in life, September 1st, is memorable. On any school line-up, songs such as “They teach at school”, “Pinocchio” and “Twice two is four” are heard. Such a repertoire would be most appropriate.
It will be great if you bring a guitar to school. In any company you can find a person who knows how to play it. Songs that will be sung with a guitar will be able to remind you, at least for a moment, of hikes and school concerts.
About choosing a cafe
Important criteria for choosing a cafe are: delicious menu, affordable rates, pleasant atmosphere, positive reviews from colleagues and comrades who have already tasted the cuisine.
For the scenario of meeting classmates in a cafe, it is advisable to select a room appropriate for the occasion in advance. Ideally, it should have good sound insulation, and the low frequencies of disco heard on the dance floor would not interfere with either the scenario or the communication of old friends. However, the opportunity to visit the dance floor should be provided.
How is the event going?
Particular attention is paid to anniversary issues. For those who graduated from school 5, 10, 15 years ago. Former schoolchildren come from different cities and even countries to such an event to see friends dear to their hearts. This is a great opportunity to talk about your successes and achievements, talk about your family, wife and children, share experiences, exchange phone numbers with friends to keep in touch. Alumni meetings are also attended by teachers who have long since retired. They are guests of honor and are eagerly awaited. After all, they are the ones who produced more than a single generation of graduates.
Brief introduction and first toast
The presenter thanks those present for maintaining the team spirit of the graduating class. Briefly informs about absentees (those who could not be notified and who have good reasons to be absent). He greets the teachers present and begins to implement the planned scenario.
A meeting of classmates, of course, involves a feast and toasts. However, almost any plan for such an event includes a first toast to the meeting. Moreover, this confirms almost any scenario of meeting classmates: 20 years old, 30, 40. In this case, age is not significant. It is important to present it solemnly, to find warm, friendly words that touch the soul.
Second toast
The second toast must be dedicated to the teacher (or teachers) present at the holiday. Usually this role is played by the class teacher and (or) favorite teacher. However, you should give the floor and entrust the toast to the teacher artistically.
As an option, the teacher is first solemnly awarded a comic diploma. It certifies that he has completed the full course and has the following skills:
- understanding children's views (score: “excellent”);
- to instill in students what is reasonable, kind, and eternal (assessment: “excellent”);
- not to hear when prompted and not to notice cheat sheets (rating - “good”);
- sense of humor (rated “excellent”);
- development of talents (rated “excellent”).
By the decision of the current council 10 (hereinafter follows the letter of the class), the holder of this diploma is unconditionally invited to all graduation ceremonies of the mentioned class, and is also allowed to educate the younger generation.
This diploma is awarded along with a memorable gift. A toast is raised “To teachers, to engineers of human souls.”
Further, as a professional toastmaster would do, the attention of those present is focused on the community of those present. As an option, the following toast decorates a meeting of classmates with humorous statistics. The funny scenario becomes even more fun not only because of this. In parallel (to enhance the effect), you can run a slide show of school photos on the monitor or screen. Let's give an example of the statistics mentioned above.
Invitation to alumni meeting, text
You can find out the addresses and phone numbers of your former classmates and call them. But the most original way is to send a written invitation in poetic form. Of course, be sure to write at the beginning of the card that the graduate is invited to the alumni meeting. Enter the time and date of the party. Next, you can write a verse:
Everything that was dear to the heart will be reborn with renewed vigor. Well, what upsets you will certainly make you laugh. What is not said - we will explain, What is not connected, we will connect, What fell - is not lost, We invite you from the bottom of our hearts! There will be dancing until you drop, Charki, speeches - everything is as it should be. We will sing and have fun, Kiss the teachers, We are again at the crossroads - Clumsy teenagers. Once again, as before, youth is waiting for us at the door.
Funny school statistics. Option for the third toast “to childhood”
“When we entered first grade, we weighed 1275 kg. During our studies, we ate 48,000 buns, 35,000 shortcakes and 25,000 sour cream in the school cafeteria. At the same time, we gained 1,700 kg and grew 30.2 m. Our behavior at school can be called almost exemplary. However, we still managed to break 3 window panes, 2 fluorescent lamps, 7 plates and 8 glasses in the school cafeteria. We have 37 kilometers of paper and 2800 twos. During our studies, we mastered the initial stage of the art of writing cheat sheets. Thus, this toast is extremely simple: “To a wonderful past childhood!”
Obviously, it’s not just the toasts and the café ambience that decorate the amateur scenario (a meeting of classmates). The summer version of Graduate Day (by agreement, some schools celebrate it in June) is celebrated, as a rule, outdoors in the form of a barbecue party.
However, in any case, it makes sense to decorate this holiday with competitions and dance fragments. Contests and other gaming communication techniques are encouraged. Let's look at examples of some of them.
Guest seating
When you have decided on the room and the number of people, you need to think about where and who can be seated. You need to understand that those people who did not communicate well with each other at school are unlikely, years later, to suddenly become inflamed with love for each other. Therefore, sit next to classmates who communicated amicably. After all, an alumni reunion party years later is an event where you want to see your close friends, contacts with whom you have lost. Many people have this problem: should they seat everyone at one long table or organize many small “islands”? The second option will be more appropriate. The fact is that you can communicate well in a company of a maximum of 6 - 8 people. It is on this principle that you organize tables. But keep in mind that then the community of the event will be lost a little. So if you choose an “island” seating arrangement, you will definitely need to hold competitions that will help you not to lose the friendly atmosphere of the whole team.
Example of a competition: guessing riddles
However, clarification is required regarding the essence of competitions for various age groups of graduates. After all, this is significant. For example, the scenario of a meeting of classmates who graduated from school 20 years ago involves a meeting of people actively engaged in professional activities and realizing their creative potential. They require a more dynamic entertainment part of the evening.
These can be themed “school” riddles, forfeits, interrupted by dance breaks. Let's present an approximate list of such riddles:
- Who can be called the president of the school? (Directors.)
- The plane available in the classroom. (Board.)
- What do teachers look forward to all year? (Vacations.)
- School signal. (Ring.)
- What is a flat globe called? (By map.)
- Who is the youngest in your class?
- Who became the first grandmother (grandfather)?
- Which school “A” is the most valuable for you?
- What is your favorite lesson?
Ditties for the alumni meeting
Of course, it is very boring to sit in the hall and watch an uninteresting concert program. Therefore, it is advisable to diversify the evening with children's performances, songs, dances, competitions and ditties. These cheerful songs will cheer up school guests.
We are laughing friends, We have fun at school! Today we will sing our ditties for the “old people”! So that you sing, have fun, and clap your hands. After all, it’s not for nothing that they gobbled up more than a pound of Salt together. You are all so cool, you were famous for many things at school. But when they came for the first time, they were hiding behind their briefcases. The years have flown by quickly, and school days are with them. We didn’t have time to look back - you are already graduates. The guys are all perfect, slim and okay. They stand behind the girls like a mountain - Brave, courageous. And the girls are queens, You can’t find other words. Even though today is Miss Universe, everyone can shine. How painful it is to part with your dear office. Although, of course, it’s cool to immediately become so big.
Impromptu interview
To liven up the atmosphere, the presenter, imitating reporters, conducts an impromptu interview with a group of classmates on the topic of what prank during their time at school, in everyone's opinion, turned out to be the most striking. The main question is hidden under a lot of additional ones:
- Where do you think childhood goes?
- How often have you run away from class?
- Have you falsified grades in your diary?
- Which subject of study was the most difficult for you?
- Who could you copy from?
- Have you ever thought about burning a cool magazine?
Room decor
To make your school reunion evening unforgettable, you need to decorate your classroom. Since it’s unlikely to be possible to do this in advance, you need to think about decorations that can be hung up quickly. What could it be? For example, wall newspapers. Everyone associates these funny posters with school. Draw a couple of these wall newspapers. You can write funny incidents from your school years on them or draw something like a comic book. If you don't know how to draw, entrust this task to someone who can handle the task well.
You can hang garlands on the walls. Lights will make your classroom a fairy tale place. But you shouldn’t take a multi-colored garland. Give preference to plain lights. The warm yellow glow will make the atmosphere in the room cozy and conducive to communication.
You can stretch paper flags along the walls. They will remind you of school work lessons. Every year, many children made streamers from multi-colored paper rings, flags and snowflakes. Of course, snowflakes will be out of place, but everything else will be fine.
If you plan to dance, you can bring disco balls from home and hang them on the ceiling. It is worth plugging in laser projectors, which will illuminate the room with all the colors of the rainbow, and with the advent of music, they will create a suitable atmosphere.
Features of the celebration for graduates of older age groups
The scenario of a meeting of classmates 35 years later brings together peers of pre-retirement age. Their children have already grown up, their professional heights are behind them. Life is ordered and follows a well-trodden track...
What would be ideal for a presenter would be his ability to revive and stir up such a contingent. When starting an informal meeting, you should immediately “take the bull by the horns.” As an option, we can offer to make “home preparations” - brief humorous descriptions of those present. They should be voiced, mentioning funny episodes from school life and successes. The main thing is that it sounds short and not boring.
In the meeting program for age groups of graduates, greater emphasis is placed on logical and intellectual competitions. There are few dance breaks, they consist of several slow dances.
Meeting classmates 40 years later
It is no secret that the majority of retirees gather for an anniversary meeting of classmates 40 years later. The scenario for this action differs from those mentioned above. The main emphasis is placed directly on communication.
A good form for the presenter in this case would be to organize a kind of memory lesson. The graduates present, between infrequent toasts, carry on a measured conversation about themselves and their absent classmates. Mention news, phone numbers, addresses, availability and nicknames on social networks.
The result is a large and motley canvas of destinies... At this age, unfortunately, it happens that illnesses affect the health of individual graduates. It will be great if they have the opportunity to communicate with those present at the alumni day via Skype. The implementation of such an opportunity is an additional bonus for the initiative group, which is organizing a meeting of classmates (40 years old). A scenario with remote communication requires a laptop PC, a mobile Wi-Fi router, a preliminary test connection with the recipient, clear synchronization in communication time, and an additional (corrective) communication channel (for example, a telephone).
Invite classmates
Gathering the whole class is a dream come true for anyone trying to organize an alumni reunion. But unfortunately, this is difficult to achieve. Classes are not always friendly, so even after several years, not many people feel nostalgic for their school years. People simply do not want to return to those walls, the graduation from which became one of the happiest moments in their lives. Therefore, such people do not go to alumni reunion days as a matter of principle. There are other individuals who were not very sociable. During their school years, they were not well acquainted with their peers, and after 10 years they have no desire to get to know them again. You also need to take into account the fact that there will always be those who have no one to leave their child or dog with. But still, most people will be able to put everything aside in order to meet with those who were dear to them once every 5-10 years. After all, you must admit that even for the sake of curiosity it is interesting to go to an alumni reunion evening. I would like to see who became who, what fate turned out for whom. Many people even manage to raise their own self-esteem due to this. In general, if you decide to gather your classmates, make sure to notify everyone at least a month in advance. Today this is easy to do, thanks to social networks. Create a VKontakte group and invite everyone with whom you studied in the same class.
Exceptionally rare alumni reunions: 50 years later
Continuing the topic raised, we note that the scenario of meeting classmates 50 years later in practice is implemented much less often. After all, the contingent of those meeting are pensioners with experience. Their estimated age is 68-69 years. In connection with the above, it would be worth mentioning that the current average life expectancy in Russia for women is 72 years, and for men - 58 years.
However, since theoretically such a meeting can be scheduled, we will list its characteristic features:
- relatively small circle of invitees;
- a hall remote from the dance floor and isolated from sound;
- menu pre-calibrated according to tastes and contraindications;
- It’s better if the program is started slowly by an experienced guest presenter;
- the evening's program itself is like a meeting of classmates 40 years later, its main style is conversation;
- according to an agreement with the initiative group of graduates, the presenter adjusts the passage of the scenario.
Think over the menu
Classmates can remember the alumni reunion evening for many years. And so that the organizer of this event is not lynched, you need to think carefully about me. It will be impossible to please everyone, so you need to select products that will appeal to the majority. Homemade salads are a great appetizer that is the first to go at any party. But there will always be those who don’t like something. Therefore, if you do decide to cook your own food, do not make complex dishes. Regarding salads, use classic recipes and don’t try to surprise anyone with your culinary talent. A class reunion is not the best event to demonstrate your culinary skills. In addition to salads, you need to prepare light snacks. These can be tartlets with various fillings, sandwiches, or a snack wrapped in pita bread. If you decide to prepare thoroughly, think about what hot items you can put on the table. You can make your task easier by ordering food at a restaurant.
Think about what drinks would be most appropriate to put on the table. Buy several bottles of wine and champagne. Also buy juice and soda. You should not buy strong alcohol. When meeting classmates, people go to talk, not to drink.
