Evening meeting of classmates - how to spend it

In order for the meeting to take place at the proper level, a number of nuances should be taken into account:

Select an initiative group that will take on the responsibility of organizing the holiday.
Decide on a topic and write a script.
Notify graduates in advance of the upcoming meeting.
To discuss the working aspects of the meeting, create a special group on social networks.

For the first, second

The competition is suitable for the beginning or end of the evening, when all graduates are invited to the stage. The presenter announces the tasks, and former classmates complete them.

Task list:

Line up in alphabetical order by last name. For girls, the maiden names they had at school are taken into account.
Now line up by height. From big to small. Then vice versa.
Pay for the first and second.
Second, step forward.
First, step back.
Second, what is the event dedicated to? In chorus - the evening of the alumni meeting.
First, who are you all to each other? In chorus - classmates.
Second, how many years have passed since graduation?
First, when is the next meeting?
Now, all line up in one row. Left! And forward to your places.

Make a slideshow with memorable photos

Even the most callous person is capable of nostalgic feelings, so a slideshow with old school photos is a great idea. Classmates will be able to remember their childhood and the past, those years when they were simple students. Collect any classes from school life in advance from your classmates. Ask the school archives for video footage and photographs that will complement the slide show.

It is best to show photos in the second half of the evening or concert, so that guests can calmly look at the footage and relax, discussing memorable moments with classmates.

Right now, let's sing

You will need printed lyrics in large print. The words of the song are cut line by line. The lines are distributed to the guests.

All guests are divided into two teams. Since the game is a table game, one half of the table is one team. Each group is given strips of paper with lines from a famous song.

Two teams have two different compositions. Participants must understand what the song is and perform it. First, the players of one group sing in chorus, then the other.

At the end of the musical game, everyone thanks each other with applause.

Mini-scene

You will need elements for the images. For example, for a grandmother, a scarf on her head, for a grandfather, earflaps. For a bunny, a headband with ears, etc. In this case, it is possible to do without costumes at all.

Everyone loved fairy tales back in school days. Some went to a theater club, and some actively participated in KVN. The presenter suggests recalling your artistic skills.

Roles:

grandfather;
grandmother;
goat;
bunny;
piggy.

The presenter simply reads the text of the fairy tale, and the participants act out everything that is said.

Once upon a time there lived a grandfather and grandmother. Their grandchildren rarely visited them, so they kept the household. This is a goat who was always flirting with everyone. A little bunny who hops and hops and hops and hops all day long. And a pig. She's still a lazy girl, she just yawned.

Every morning, my grandfather and grandmother started with exercises. Arm swings, leg lunges, squats, push-ups. They still had gunpowder in their flask! At this time, the pig looked at the old people as if they were fools and kept twisting them to his temple. She either preferred to bask in the sun and yawn all the time. The bunny didn’t need any exercise, because he was jumping all day like he was not normal. Jump, yes jump, jump, yes jump. Every morning the goat enjoyed her beauty and danced with joy, like a fluttering butterfly.

But one day something went wrong. And while charging, my grandfather got a pain in his back. The grandmother began to massage him. The old man relaxed so much that he remembered his youth and how he hugged his grandmother with all passion. The bunny closed his eyes. And the pig just twisted his head and yawned. The goat looked enviously at the couple and began to flutter further like a butterfly.

And the grandfather was pleased that after he hugged the grandmother and the bunny. I scratched the pig's belly. And he kissed the goat on the cheek. The grandmother began to hiccup in surprise. Yes, such that the bunny covered his ears. And the goat, in fright, began to butt the grandmother. The pig looked at everyone as if they were fools, and twirled her finger at her temple, yawning at the same time.

Grandfather realized that a boil was brewing. And also the fact that out of everyone, only he and the pig are adequate. So the old man grabbed the pig and ran away. The bunny, too, was not at a loss, but galloped away. The grandmother responded by tickling the goat. And while she was laughing, the grandmother ran away after the grandfather. The goat realized that she was left alone. She blew a kiss to everyone and rushed after everyone.

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?

To the blackboard!

You will need two boards. Chalk or marker. You also need rags/sponges for erasing notes from the board and writing tools (markers, crayons).

Participants are divided into two teams. Opposite each one there is its own board. Nearby are sponges/rags and crayons/markers.

Participants from each team run up to the board and write an easy example. Let's say 2 + 2. The second in line participants enter the answer after passing the baton. The third players erase everything from the board. Starting from the fourth participants, everything is repeated. Only the examples for the solution should be written differently.

The fastest and smartest team wins.

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.
