Happy International Role Playing Game Host Day!

The birthday person should enjoy their day. How you remember your birthday depends on how you celebrate your birthday. If you take over the entire organization, you cannot avoid worries: are the guests having fun, is it delicious, what are the children doing, why is the guest sitting on the phone. Don't forget - it's your day and you should get everything out of it.

The leader will take charge of the organization, all responsibility will be on him. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a child’s or an adult’s birthday—the program will be tailored for any age. Adults will leave the holiday rested, and children will leave full of smiles.

The presenters from the Sea of ​​Joy agency are professionals. They know everything about organizing time, entertainment, and congratulations. Experience guarantees that not a single guest will get bored with the program: the performer will choose the one that will definitely be of interest. Over the past 8 years, we have been convinced of this when we read reviews of birthday people about 6,000 celebrations.

In this article we will tell you why you should invite a presenter to your birthday party, how to choose one, and what you should know about the script.

Birthday Presenter's Script

The birthday scenario depends on the presenter. He draws up a project from expectations that shape interests. Expectations are all the wishes regarding the holiday: games, dances, emotions, creative ideas, themes, the result of the holiday.

Let's highlight 2 basics for creating a script:

1. Choice of concept . This includes the theme of the holiday, entertainment program, costumes, props and prizes for the winners of competitions. In this part, it is important to understand what will please the guests.
2. Timing. Organization is properly allocated time for gathering, feasting, congratulations, warming up guests, games, dancing and shows. This also includes taking out the cake. “There is a time for everything” - if you follow this motto, then the holiday will be perfect: no one will get tired of the competitions, will not get bored, will have time to eat, drink and have fun in moderation.

Thoughtful timing is the foundation. Entertainment - frame of the house. Scenario - house. To translate the metaphor, let's say this: 90% of a successful birthday depends on a correctly composed script.

The scenario may include: a meeting, a banquet, congratulations, table games, active competitions, master classes, shows, dances. The choice of components depends on temperament and hobbies.

The presenter organizes an adult’s birthday in stages, but in a rich way. Adults do not get tired as quickly as children, but it is more difficult to prepare them for active games. The scenario of such a holiday includes warming up the guests and a long entertainment part.

History and traditions of the holiday

World DJ Day dates back to UNESCO's decision in 2002. The initiators were the World DJ Fund and Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy. The latter specializes in treating diseases by listening to music. Initially, the holiday was conceived as a charity event. The date is dedicated to the manifestation of mercy, which is usually held in the first month of spring.

The action involves holding events at radio stations, nightclubs and similar establishments. All proceeds received on March 9 go to funds supporting children. Among the participants there are well-known show business companies. They are joined by famous personalities, actors, composers, performers, artists.

DJ Day in Russia is informal. Major media players are joining the tradition. They put on broadcasts covering the event. Colleagues gather at the festive tables. Congratulations are heard from the lips of relatives, close and acquaintances, and fans. They express wishes for success and health in the profession. Warm words of toasts end with the clink of glasses. Participants share plans for the future, exchange experiences, and present gifts. News and new musical compositions are discussed.

The media in 2015 are talking about prominent figures in the industry. Interviews are taken with stars taking part in the events. The main characters talk about their lives, about the institutions to which the collected funds are planned to be sent. The holiday has the character of an image event that attracts the attention of visitors.

An example of a presenter's program for an adult's birthday.

We have a birthday boy Ivan. He turned 30 years old.

I invited my family, relatives, university friends, and colleagues to my birthday party. There will be no kids at the party, but there will be teenagers. Ivan works as a business analyst all day long, so he wants to have fun and have a good rest.

Here are the key pillars of the scenario:

• The main age is 30+ , teenagers will participate in the program together with adults: competitions should be non-alcoholic and not about business. Games based on TV shows, quizzes, and riddles on popular topics that everyone knows are suitable.
• The guests are very versatile: it is better to do without themes and master classes, and make a choice in the direction of what everyone will like. For example, competitions, dances, congratulations, songs.
• Ivan wants to relax: we don’t offer quests, puzzles, quizzes. Instead, it is better to have more comic competitions, dances and songs.

This turns out to be the following scenario:

Meeting and refreshments.

We allow guests to calmly get ready, wait for those who are late, and have a snack. It takes an hour.

The presenter will meet the guests, show the hall and seats. The task of this stage is to understand each guest, find an approach, establish friendly connections, and liberate. Playful master classes, riddles, and funny stories are used.

Additionally, the organizers will offer to decorate the meeting of guests with a photo zone and costumed people, for example, mirror characters, movie heroes.

Banquet and congratulations.

We give time for food and communication. When the plates are empty of hot food, the host will offer to congratulate the birthday person. In this part, we accept congratulations, gifts, hug, and get in the mood for games.

Table competitions and games.

Warming up takes from half an hour to an hour and takes place at the tables. For example, a competition to recognize a celebrity from a child’s photo, to understand what unites three pictures, to guess a proverb from a picture.

Competitions based on the TV show “Moscow Nights”.

The main part of the program. There will be team games to explain and guess words, select letters from cubes, and expose celebrities.

For example, “Playing blind”. The presenter will close the players' eyes and hand out foam letters. The task is to blindly correctly collect the hidden word. The number of victory points is equal to the number of words collected.

Cover band or dance flash mob.

We think Ivan and the guests will enjoy singing along to their favorite songs after the competitions. But the show is an additional service. If Ivan refuses, the presenter will offer live music performed by him.

There is another idea - everyone should learn the moves together from any video on YouTube, and then dance together. Ivan will watch the video with the flash mob years later, remembering this day.

Disco.

The final stage in the entertainment program. Guests will want to continue dancing - why not?

If desired, the presenter will show dance moves. But here the main job is for the DJ. When organizing a holiday, be sure to find out about musical preferences.

Additionally, we will offer to arrange a paper show at the disco. This is when you dance in fireworks made from paper garlands. The photos turn out amazing.

Rewards for victories in competitions.

Gifts fuel excitement - without them, participating in competitions is not interesting. Prizes can be purchased by the host: we will discuss this when the script is approved.

For a creative audience, master classes would be better suited instead of competitions based on TV shows. And if Ivan invited friends with small children, the host would offer to hold an exciting show or dance battle.

Tips for choosing a birthday presenter

You can quickly find a host for a birthday party. You won't lose quality if you prepare. To do this, you need to answer 4 questions, study your portfolio, and communicate with the presenter.

4 questions for you:

1. What theme do I want for my birthday and do I want it at all?
2. How old are the guests?
3. What are the guests doing?
4. What budget do I allocate for the holiday?

These questions will form a portrait of the presenter. You will understand your expectations and be able to clearly set the task for the candidate.

Now let's talk about the signs of a professional:

• It looks neat and beautiful. Things fit true to size, costumes are different, the appearance does not raise any questions, but makes you stand out from the guests.
• Speaks loudly, clearly and expressively. The voice is the main instrument, and it determines how well guests will perceive it.
• Charming, striking with charisma. These qualities liberate guests and encourage communication.
• Erudite, interesting, but not boring. A professional will support any topic, find an answer to a question, and at the same time be able to joke.
• And he jokes well and a lot. It’s good when there are no offensive jokes, outdated memes and jokes from the Internet. A professional jokes tactfully, but funny, and comes up with a stand-up routine on the fly and on topic.
• Professional skills. Dancing, vocals, own programs and shows distinguish the presenter, who can hold not only competitions.
• Politeness and tact. The candidate should not strictly insist on his own: your opinion is the law. He can offer his options and tell you why they might be better - nothing more.

You will understand some of it from the portfolio, and such features as erudition, presentation and humor - at a personal meeting. If you don’t have time to meet, then talk on the phone, or, as a last resort, ask for a video from the holiday. In communication, a professional presenter will make an immediate impression.

There's a question you should definitely ask: How much does a birthday host cost?

A professional will learn about the concept, expectations and only after that will tell you the approximate price. He can name the price range - this is also normal, but since the price is formed by the script, it is impossible to determine the cost without it.

About the profession

There are 2 directions in the profession: presented on the radio and in nightclubs. An on-air DJ takes part in the station’s broadcast, creates a list of compositions, provides information during breaks between them, and communicates with listeners who call the studio. He must strictly monitor the timing of each part of the program and follow the standards set by the company. This work is more responsible and covers a many times larger audience compared to night entertainment venues.

An employee often must have a special education obtained from the faculties of journalism and acting. Course graduates are admitted. One of the requirements is mastery of oratory, knowledge of certain styles of music, and ability to handle technology.

In clubs, DJs are primarily responsible for thematic filling of events with compositions. Many of them become authors and performers of their own works.
