Good afternoon, dear readers!
Today we continue the theme of the kindergarten graduation party. Why do we pay so much attention to this holiday? Yes, because this is the first serious milestone in the life of the child and parents. In addition, this holiday is celebrated cheerfully, brightly, and unforgettably.
It's no secret that the success of the holiday depends on a properly selected scenario, a well-designed menu and an organized banquet, as well as an entertainment program for kids. Children will not sit at the table for a long time, unlike adults, they want to have fun, run around, and this is facilitated by interesting competitions and games for graduation in kindergarten. That's what we'll talk about today.
If you are organizing a graduation party in kindergarten, I recommend paying attention to the following articles:
Graduation in kindergarten: games, competitions
Game "Our guys"
An unlimited number of children, teachers and parents can participate. To play the game you will need paper and pens. Each participant receives a piece of paper, a pen and writes any phrase. This could be a quote from a cartoon, movie, fairy tale, motto, line from your favorite poem, song. After the phrase is written down, participants give their pieces of paper to the neighbor on the right.
The presenter tells all participants that we are now learning more about our graduates: what awaits them at school and what they were like in kindergarten. To do this, he begins to say a sentence, and the participants take turns continuing it, reading phrases from the sheets of paper.
The following options can be used as questions:
Mom wakes up the kids for kindergarten. What do they answer? Mom calls the children to have breakfast. How do they respond to this? The children came to kindergarten in the morning. What did the teacher tell them? What phrase did the kids greet the teacher in the morning? What did the children say when they were given semolina porridge to eat? What did the children say when they were invited to go for a walk? What did children say when they didn’t want to sleep during quiet time? What did parents say when they picked up their kids from kindergarten? What will children say when they come to school for the first time? What will the teacher say when she first meets the children on September 1? What will children say when their first grade appears in their diary?
The number of phrases in the game depends on the number of participants.
Game "Collect a briefcase"
Draw two large backpacks on whatman paper. And also separately draw and cut out images of the following objects: an ABC book, a notebook, a flowerpot, a pair of socks, an alarm clock, a pencil, a pen, a ruler, a ball, a mug, a diary, a doll, a typewriter, an egg, etc.
Divide the children into 2 teams. Their task is to work together to assemble a collage of items that are needed at school. From the abundance of pictures, they must choose suitable items and glue them to the backpack using a glue stick. The team that collects its backpack the fastest wins.
Game "I want to wish..."
This game is for parents. Select 5-6 parents. Prepare a bright bag with various items: candies, dolls, fruits, school supplies, toys. Each parent must take an object out of the bag and come up with an original congratulation for the child related to this object.
Game "Guess Mom"
The presenter selects 5-6 pairs of mothers with children. Children stand in a line, and mothers write 5 iconic phrases about their children. For example: “I was on vacation in Bulgaria”, “likes to play with construction sets”, “grandfather’s name is Alexander”, etc. The notes are mixed and thrown into the basket. The presenter takes a piece of paper from the basket one by one and reads out the written phrases. The child tries to guess his mother’s phrase about him. If he guesses correctly, saying “it’s me,” he takes a step forward; if he’s wrong, he takes a step back. The one who comes out ahead of everyone wins.
"First Answer" Contest
This is an intellectual competition. A certain number of participants (5-10) is selected. The children stand in a line. Each child is given a bell. The presenter asks simple questions about the seasons, days of the week, animals, trees, etc. The child can answer by ringing the bell. The first person to call is the first to answer. If the answer is correct, the baby takes a step forward; if not, a step back. The little one who answers the most questions correctly wins.
Game "Take a place in the group"
An odd number of children may participate. The music turns on, the children run, dance, and have fun. The music turns off, and the kids must line up in teams of 4. The participant who did not have time to react and was unable to take a place on the team in time performs an additional task for the leader.
Game “Put out a five from the tape”
Children are divided into teams with an equal number of participants. Each team receives a satin ribbon about 5 cm wide and 1-1.5 m long. Participants’ task: to the music, together they need to put a five out of the ribbon. The team that finishes it faster wins.
Game "Skilled Portrait Painter"
You need to prepare several sheets of Whatman paper and a board or easel. One child is called. The presenter quietly tells him the name of another child, and he must draw his portrait. The others' task is to guess who is drawn. The one who guesses correctly receives a small prize and the right to draw next.
Game "Merry forfeits"
In this game the number of participants is not limited. To organize it, you need to take some personal item from each child and put it in a basket or bag. Separately, you need to prepare funny, fun tasks written on a sheet of paper: recite a poem, sing a song, jump on one leg, etc. The presenter pulls out the child’s object, and then reads the task to him.
Competition "Who's second?"
Anyone can take part in the competition. Prepare in advance a list of literary and cartoon characters who appear in pairs in the work. For example:
Hare and wolf. Chip and Dale. Tom and Jerry. Shapoklyak and Rat Lariska. Crocodile Gena and Cheburashka. Pinocchio and Malvina. Gray Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. Fox Alice and Cat Basilio. Ded Moroz and Snegurochka.
Kai and Gerda. The Nutcracker and the Rat King. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.
The presenter reads out the name of the first hero, and the participants in the game must name the second. The participant who guesses the most characters wins.
We have prepared such interesting games for kindergarten graduation. If you want your children's holiday to be remembered for a long time, be sure to arrange fun competitions and games for the kids.
One of the main events in every child's life is graduation. During this period, children say goodbye to kindergarten and plan their entry into school. The whole family can and should participate in the holiday. Moms and dads, grandparents, brothers and sisters will help make graduation truly warm and joyful, and fun competitions will be remembered by children for a long time.
There is a wide variety of games for activities in kindergarten. In the selection presented in the article, you can find ones that suit you, which will help you create an original script that both children and parents will enjoy.
games for graduation material (preparatory group) on the topic
GRADUATION PARTY GAMES
Who will get the most marks?
(hero - at your discretion) SHAPOKLYAK: And now we’ll check it. Here are the briefcases, here are the marks (shows). Who will collect the most marks in their briefcases? (Pours out 1.2.3.4.5) If the children took 1,2,3, they play again, and Shapoklyak praises the children for 1,2 and invites parents to see what marks the children collected in their briefcase.
First-graders' sleep
Two children sit on chairs at different ends of the hall (preferably on strong chairs, with armrests, or on stools). School supplies and empty hoops are scattered near each child. You need to collect your objects into a hoop without getting up from your chair; you can move around the hall on a chair ("ride"). The essence of the game is explained by the presenter: Vasya and Petya had a dream that they were in space, in zero gravity. Everything was scattered throughout the ship, and the first-graders seemed to be tied to their chairs. And tomorrow is school! Who will get ready faster?
Lay out a five from a ribbon Prepare red satin ribbons - 5-8cm wide (you can go wider), 1 m long. To the music, children lay out a five from a ribbon on the carpet. The number of children is at your discretion (how many children - the same number of ribbons)
`10 sleepwalkers` Playing to a song by Usachev and Pinegin Children place chairs in a circle, with their backs facing inwards - this is the moon. They stand around the chairs. The game is simple, based on who is most likely to take a chair, but is played to a song. Children walk in a circle and sing: 10 sleepwalkers lived on the moon. 10 sleepwalkers tossed and turned in their sleep And then one sleepwalker fell from the Moon in his sleep...... the children quickly sat down on chairs, and the godfather, who did not have a chair, walked into the circle and squatted on the floor. everyone sings: And 9 lunatics remain on the moon! Game continues. You can play not with 10, but with 5, as you like. Yes, the last verse ends like this: and there were no more sleepwalkers on the moon.
“Seven Candles” We baked a cake for the holiday, lit seven candles on it, we wanted to eat the cake, but we couldn’t put out the candles. Children stand in two circles. 7 children with handkerchiefs in a small circle are candles. The rest are in a large circle. 1st-4th measures. Children go in a circle to the right and sing. Children-candles spin, waving handkerchiefs above their heads. 5-8 bars. The same movements, but in the other direction. 9th measure. Everyone stops. Children in a large circle take a breath. 10th measure. They blow on candles. Children-candles squat, facing the center, spreading handkerchiefs behind their backs on the floor. And - 12th bars. Children spin around in a big circle. 13th measure. They raise their handkerchiefs to see who is faster. These children become candles. The game repeats itself.
We play with numbers. We prepare cards with numbers for one team in advance (1,2,3, 4,5,6,7,8,9,10); for the other team: (10,20,30,40,50,60,70.80.90.100) We put cards around the neck of everyone playing (on a ribbon). While the music is playing, the participants dance or move randomly throughout the hall. When the music ends, one team must line up in ascending order (from 1 to 10); another team (from 10-100). Tasks can be varied.
Game `Marks`. There are cards on the table, turned over to face him. To the music, children run scattered around the hall and, when the music ends, must take any card, lift it up, and turn it to face their parents. Here are the grades your children will receive: Some are 4, some are 5! Well done! (removes the cards) And now we invite our parents to participate in the game. (several parents go into the hall). (the presenter takes out other cards with ratings). Let's see what grades your parents got in school? The task is the same... But with the end of the music, the parents notice that some had `3`.
Game `Math Peas`. We draw pea pods and peas inside each pod (different numbers). children go “to the garden”, choose any pod and jump in all directions to the sound of cheerful music. Number cards are laid out closer to the audience. The children’s task is to count the peas upon a signal (at the end of the music) (they do this while moving in hops) and stand near their number, i.e. so that the number of peas coincides with the number they are standing next to. Raise the pod high up so that everyone can check their answer. The game is interesting, fun and not boring. I use 7-8 pods, then the 2nd group of children. Everyone wants to play! Usually conducted by some Queen of Mathematics or the like. character. at graduation they stand in pairs: a child with his parent, dancing to cheerful music, and one person (the presenter, for example) without a partner. When the music suddenly ends, you need to quickly find another pair. What begins here, everyone is just snapping at each other! A very funny competition and some kind of communication between adults and children!
Game with Carlson. (hero - at your discretion) KARL: And I have an “A” - one excellent student gave it. I only have one “five”, how can we divide it? But I have a lifesaver. Stand in a circle: whoever gets an A is an excellent student!
ATTRACTION “EXCELLENTS” A small scarf with a drawn 5 at one end is attached to a stick 1.5 meters long. To do this, a slit is cut out at the end of the stick. To the music, Carlson twirls the stick in a circle. Jumping up, the children tear off the scarf/ KARL: And I also have one “2” - a friend of mine gave me a poor student. (Takes out a foam two-piece on a long rope) Well, stand in a circle, I really want to play pranks. I will twist the deuce: whoever jumps over it is a great guy, and the rest are poor students. Kidding.
ATTRACTION "DOUBLES" game with letters. like `Gaped'. All children have signs on their chests with some kind of letter. Children stand in pairs in a circle. The first are in front, the second are behind. There is a child in the middle. During the first part of the music, a child standing in a circle dances (for example, makes a picker), and all the children sing the following words: “Letter A is the only one left because it was gape, we will play with you, try not to yawn ` During the second part of the music, the second ones jump in a circle behind the first ones together with the letter A, the first ones clap their hands, and at the end of the music, quickly stand in front of any child (the first one). There won’t be enough space for someone, and he will be a new gaping letter.
Game `Smart daddies and funny slippers` (or vice versa?!). To play you need 8 pairs of slippers. They have letters glued on them, from which you can make the word “Certificate” (oh, I don’t remember the second one... But there are also 8 letters there). And the slippers are placed so that the letters are scattered. Dads play in 2 teams. Who will put the slippers on their feet faster and stand in such an order that the children can read the word. The funny thing is that the folders put on slippers, paying attention to the “couple,” but the letters don’t match. And now someone is in full swing!
Game `Deuce`. Tie a rope to the inverted five. Children stand in a circle. The presenter says, “Whoever gets a bad mark will stay for the second year,” twists the rope, and the children jump over.
Game `Turnip`. Two teams of 6 children each participate. This is grandfather, grandmother, Bug, granddaughter, cat and mouse. There are 2 chairs on the opposite wall of the hall. On each chair sits a turnip - a child wearing a hat with a picture of a turnip. Grandfather starts the game. At a signal, he runs to the turnip, runs around it and returns, the grandmother clings to him (takes him by the waist), and they continue running together, again go around the turnip and run back, then the granddaughter joins them, etc. At the end of the game, A turnip catches a mouse. The team that pulled out the turnip the fastest wins.
Game 'Prohibited Movement'. The players and the leader stand in a circle. The leader takes a step forward to be more noticeable. If there are few players, then you can line them up and stand in front of them. The leader invites the children to perform all the movements after him, with the exception of those prohibited, which were previously established by him. For example, it is prohibited to perform the “hands on the belt” movement. The leader begins to make different movements to the music, and all the players repeat them. Unexpectedly, the leader performs a prohibited movement. The player repeating it takes a step forward and then continues to play
Game `Bows`. Several ribbons (5 on each side) are tied onto the rope; in the middle the ribbon is tied with a bow. 2 participants (dads) are selected to stand on each side. At the signal, they must tie the ribbons into bows. Who is faster?
Game `Conductor`. The child conductor stands in the middle, and the rest of the musicians stand in a circle. During the 1st part of the music, the conductor conducts, and the musicians play to the rhythm of the music. At the end of the first part, the instruments are placed on the floor, and during the second, fast part of the music they run in a circle together with the conductor. When the music ends, they quickly take up their instruments. The one who didn't get it is the conductor.
`Go to school on alarm clock`. Two families are called: 2 dads, 2 moms, 2 children. On 2 tables there are school supplies (the same amount), which the child, at a signal, will begin to put into his briefcase. 1 alarm clock, which is set by the teacher - the alarm rings and is the signal to start. 2 balloons, which dads will begin to inflate upon a signal (so that the child goes to school with a balloon on September 1). 2 sets of breakfast (or lunch) for a schoolchild (for example: an apple, yogurt, a small chocolate bar) and a bag into which, at a signal from the mother, they will begin to put this breakfast. The alarm clock rings and each participant begins to complete their tasks. The child puts school supplies (notebook, pencil case, textbook, ruler, diary, etc.) into a briefcase or satchel; the mother collects breakfast and gives it to the child, and he puts it in the already assembled backpack; Dad inflates the balloon, ties it with a thread and gives it to the child. A child with a briefcase and a ball runs to the other end of the hall to the “School” sign. The family whose child runs to school first wins.
Game `Read the word`. A sign with a written word is attached to the driver's back. The players - 3-4 people - must read the word, and the driver tries to dodge and prevent it from being read
Game `Who can put the word “honey” together faster? The word can be anything depending on the character; at the moment it was a bear from the cartoon “Masha and the Bear”. 2 teams of 3 people each participate. Each child receives a letter. To the accompaniment of fast music, the children scatter around the hall, and when the music ends, they line up one after another so that the word “Honey” is formed. The team that builds the word first wins.
Game `Collect a word`. We collect several words one by one. Children come out first based on the number of letters in the first word. Children take a letter for themselves. They move around the hall in hops to the music. When the music ends, they must form a word from the letters they took. Then we change. We play 3-4 times.

Holiday theme
Note to cultural organizers and educators: the choice of competitions for graduation largely depends on the theme of your holiday. You may not adhere to a clear script or, conversely, tie games, competitions and performances to a specific topic. Examples of topics:
Remember that the mood of young graduates should remain festive, and beautiful dresses and suits should not suffer during outdoor games and competitions. Have you chosen a topic? It's time to start selecting games and competitions.
Brook
Graduation games and competitions don’t have to be super original. Sometimes the old tried-and-true games are the most fun. For example, "Stream". Everyone knows this game and everyone will play it with pleasure - both children and adults. Just in case, let us remind you of the rules of the game.
The players are divided into pairs (preferably a boy and a girl, but not necessarily). Couples stand behind each other in a column, take hands and raise them above their heads - it turns out to be a kind of corridor. The player left without a pair goes to the beginning of the “stream”, walks along the corridor and looks for a partner. Having decided on someone, he takes him by the hands and leads him to the end of the “stream”. The player whose pair was taken away goes to the “source of the stream”, and everything repeats. It is best to play this game at a fast pace and with music.
Game "Our guys"
You will need: A4 sheets, pens.
This game is one of the most popular in kindergarten.
Everyone is invited to the stage - graduates, parents and educators. Everyone is given pre-prepared details - a piece of paper and a pen.
Each participant writes a phrase on a piece of paper. This could be a motto, a quote from a cartoon, a phrase from a fairy tale, or a line from your favorite song. After the phrase is thought up and written down, the participants give their piece of paper to the neighbor on the right.
The presenter makes an introductory speech: “And now, guys, we will find out everything about our graduates. What were they like in kindergarten? Do we know what awaits them at school? So, let's begin. Will you help me? I’ll start saying a sentence, and you take turns reading what’s written on your piece of paper!”
If desired, you can add different phrases depending on the number of participants. This fun and easy game will definitely appeal not only to future schoolchildren, but also to their parents.
Chupa Chups
For this fun competition, you need to prepare lollipops or other caramel candies on a stick in advance according to the number of participants. Call for volunteers to participate in the competition (preferably boys) and give them lollipops. The participants’ task is to say the phrase “I am a graduate” with a lollipop in their mouth. Those who have completed this task are given a second lollipop, and now they need to say the phrase “I am a graduate of a secondary educational institution.”
So the number of lollipops gradually increases, and the phrase lengthens (you can add to it the school number, class, year of graduation, etc.). The winner is the one who holds out until the end and maintains the clearest diction. Instead of lollipops, you can use caramels like “Barberry” or “Duchess” - this will make the task easier for the participants.
Game "I want to wish..."
Number of participants: 5-6 parents.
You will need: a bright bag with the items collected in it.
The presenter invites parents to come up with an original congratulation to their children. To do this, they need to take the first object they come across from the bag, give it to the child and say a few kind words as parting words to the future student (the words must be related to the object).
For the “bag of wishes” you can use small dolls, candies, chocolate, fruits and various school items that may be useful in class.
Game "Cloud of Good Thoughts"
Number of participants: all guys.
You will need: models of clouds cut out of colored cardboard according to the number of graduates.
Children are given pre-prepared models, each of them is signed with the name and surname of the graduate. All models are glued to a large Whatman paper or board. During the evening, the guys come up to this board and write wishes to their friends and comrades. Remember that you can only write good things! After the evening, each of the children takes home their “cloud of good thoughts”
Game "Getting ready for school"
Number of participants: three parents.
You will need: three backpacks and school supplies.
- Now let’s imagine that our parents are schoolchildren who slept through their first day. Parents are blindfolded and various items are placed on the table in front of them: textbooks, stationery, paints, markers, a pencil case and notebooks. These items are mixed with toys, toothbrushes, TV remotes and other things that need to be used in everyday life, not at school.
- At the leader’s command, the parents begin to gather. There is very little time to get ready: one minute.
- Afterwards, the eyes are untied, and the contents of the school bags are shown to the others.
If desired, the game can be repeated again, but with other participants.
Outdoor games
Six-year-old children find it difficult to sit still, so they love games where they can run, jump and dance. We offer two options for interesting outdoor games at kindergarten graduation, which will allow children to throw out accumulated emotions.
Find a match
You should prepare cards in advance on which paired characters are written, for example:
- Chip and Dale;
- Fox Alice and Cat Basilio;
- Kai and Gerda;
- Malvina and Pierrot;
- Cheburashka and Crocodile Gena;
- Ded Moroz and Snegurochka;
- Shrek and Fiona;
- Jasmine and Aladdin;
- Tom and Jerry et al.
Each character is written on a separate card. They are handed out to the children and cheerful music is played. Everyone must find their partner and stand next to them. After this, different music is turned on, and the children dance in pairs. By the way, the dance can be prepared in advance.
Prohibited movement
Another interesting game for kindergarten graduation. All children go to the center of the hall and form a circle. The leader in the center performs various dance movements to cheerful music (squats, puts his hands on his belt, claps his hands, etc.), and the children must repeat this. At the same time, prohibited movement is declared. For example, you cannot raise your arms or hand up. In the process of demonstrating body movements, the presenter must periodically show what is prohibited (waving his arms, raising them up, clapping his hands above his head, etc.). There are no losers. This is just an entertaining fun game.
You can make kindergarten graduation games even more interesting with the help of your parents. Children will enjoy participating in competitions with their moms and dads.
Good luck
To play, you need two teams of 3 pairs of child + parent each. All parents are blindfolded and given a marker. Each team has a Whatman paper on which they need to write a parting message to future first-graders: “Bon voyage.” Each parent approaches the Whatman paper in turn and writes one letter with the children’s prompts. There are usually no problems with the first letter. The fun begins later when the child must explain to his mom (dad) where on whatman paper he needs to write the next letter. The child can indicate the direction (to the left, higher) and the size of the letter (larger, smaller). At the end of the competition, the quality of the written wishes and speed are assessed.
Compose a ditty
Several children (the number can be any) call their mom or dad. Each team (child + parent) is given a piece of paper and a pen. The presenter addresses the audience and asks them to come up with simple rhymes for the word “school” (Coca-Cola, radio tape recorder, Corvalola, football) and “student” (accustomed, collar, joker, watchmaker). If the audience can't cope, the presenter gives them some advice. After this, the teams are invited to compose a ditty to the given rhymes and sing it. The winner is determined by applause.
Competition "Growers"
Number of participants: unlimited.
You will need: two sheets of Whatman paper with pasted photographs of graduates aged in the junior group of kindergarten.
Number of participants: unlimited.
You will need: a pre-prepared list of literary heroes.
The presenter reads out the name of the hero of the literary work, and the participants in the game name the second hero, who is also mentioned in this work. You can play the game in the form of a competition and divide into teams. Examples of characters:
Competition "Two is more fun"
Number of participants: 2.
You will need: bomb toys.
Toys are laid out on the floor to act as small bombs. You can make the task more difficult for participants and put away their mobile phones. The presenter selects two participants, blindfolds them and gives them the task to go forward. Everyone else tells the contestants where to go, using the words “straight”, “back”, “forward”, “left”, “right” and encourages the guys in every possible way. The same competition can be held with tight ropes.
By the way, the “bombs” and ropes can be removed immediately after the participants are blindfolded - then it’s even more fun to watch them.
Competition "Rope"
Number of participants: unlimited.
You will need: small sweet gifts, rope, scissors, bandage.
Small gifts are wrapped in bags and tied to a stretched rope. Each participant, in turn, is blindfolded with a thick scarf or handkerchief, given small scissors in their hands, turned several times and sent on their way to get gifts! The child takes the first gift that was cut off for himself.
Any graduation sums up a certain period of life, and graduation from kindergarten is no exception. On this day, children share their successes and worries about entering primary school. If you want them to remember this day, organize fun competitions and games suggested in the article - a lot of pleasant memories and positive emotions are guaranteed.
Indeed, one of the most important events for a 5-6 year old child is kindergarten graduation. You need to choose the best competitions and games for the holiday, because graduation marks the beginning of a new stage for the child - growing up.
After the formal part, you can hold fun team competitions. But dividing the children just like that would be banal and uninteresting. It is much more fun if children gather in teams in a playful way. The “Gather Your Team” competition will help in this matter.
To conduct this, 3 participants (captains) are identified, large hoops are placed near them, and their eyes are blindfolded. At a time when the captains can no longer see anything, other children stand close to them, whom they must find and bring into their hoop. Thus, each captain must assemble a team of 5 people. Depending on the number of children, there can be only two teams, or, if there are many kids, the teams can consist of 6-7 people.
"Put the word"
When the children have already divided into teams, they can be offered the following fun and educational competition. The participants of both teams (each individually) are given sheets with large letters. All these letters together make up a word, which is chosen depending on how many participants there are. For example, for teams of 6 people, simple words such as milk, cow are suitable, if there are 5 kids, you can take the words flower, month or any others.
At the command “start”, the allies deal with the given letters and form a word from them. The first team to formulate their word correctly wins the competition. Both 2 and 3-4 teams can participate.
Competitions at kindergarten graduations can be prepared by the presenter (animators) or the parents themselves. The first option is much more convenient, because the presence of animators will allow parents to calmly enjoy the holiday with their children.
"Sweet tooth"
One team member is invited to participate. Children are seated at a table on which each person has a plate with small pieces of jelly or cake. Individually, participants are given 2 toothpicks, with which they must eat the sweet dish. Touching sweets with your hands is strictly prohibited. At the “start” command, children take toothpicks and begin to eat. The winner was the one who was the first to eat jelly or cake using an unconventional device.
"Hold the pea"
A fun competition that is enjoyed not only by kindergarten kids, but also by schoolchildren. To carry it out you need peas and straws (according to the number of children). The competition, like the previous two, is also a team competition. The teams stand opposite each other, and the participants are located nearby. Each child is given a straw, and the first person standing from both teams is also given a pea.
The participant’s task is to draw in air through the straw in order to hold the pea on the other side. In this form, the child turns to the other participant and passes a pea from his tube into his tube, then everything continues until the last player has a pea. Victory goes to the team that completed the pass faster.
"Place it in its place"
3-4 kids are invited to participate. Each of them stands in front of a desk with various school supplies (notebook, pencil, ruler, etc.).
Kindergarten graduation should include a variety of activities. The main elements of the event are the formal part, the sweet table and accompanying fun games and competitions.
At the beginning of the competition, all items are placed in the center. But, during the competition, at the command of the leader, the children must put all things in their places. So, for example, the presenter says, put the notebook in the upper right corner, put the pen to the left of the notebook, and the pencil to the right, etc. Children remember what the presenter (teacher) said and quickly repeat. The winner is the one who did everything faster and correctly.
"Answer first"
The competition is based on simple questions about the world around us and objects already familiar to children. For example, What is the name of our Planet? What color is the sky? What does hail look like? How many colors are there in the rainbow, etc. But to answer, you don’t need to raise your hands or shout, you just need to ring the bell. At the beginning of the game, all the kids stand in one row, and the leader (teacher) hands them bells. When an adult asks a question, each child tries to call quickly to give an answer. If the answer is correct, the baby takes a step forward, and if it is wrong, he takes a step back. Victory goes to the participant who gave the most correct answers and reached the teacher first.
There are a lot of similar fun competitions, with the least amount of time spent, they can be found on the Internet, and using your imagination, you can carry out a lot of exciting improvisations yourself.
It is imperative to provide interesting prizes for children for participating in competitions, as well as give them memorable gifts that will remind them of the time spent in kindergarten.
Proper organization of the holiday, including the best children's competitions, will help make graduation a bright and memorable event for children and parents. Therefore, the preparation of the event must be taken with full responsibility.
We are publishing several competitions that you can include in your kindergarten graduation script or just at a children's party:
FIND THE RING Players sit in a circle. Everyone picks up a rope with tied ends. The rope must be threaded through the ring. A blindfolded presenter is placed in the middle. His task is to find a ring on a rope, while all players move it in a circle or in different directions. The one who has the ring stands in a circle. For this game it is best to use a large ring.
WALKING WITH PEAS Select a few peas in advance so that they can be easily held at the end of a straw by sucking in air. Then divide into 2 or more teams of equal numbers. Give each person a straw and give the first person a pea, which he or she will attach to the end of the straw, holding it there without using their hands. At the signal, he turns and passes the pea to the next member of his team, who must take it by sucking air through his straw without touching it with his hands. If the pea falls, it must be placed again on the straw of the person who last held it. This continues until the pea reaches the end of the line. After which the last person in the line runs to the beginning. And so on until the last person in the line is the last again.
BALL IN THE BASKET Place the basket in the middle of the room; Place 4 balls at one end of the room. Each player is given the opportunity to see how long it takes them to get all 4 balls across the room into a basket - using only their feet. Record each participant's time to determine the winner. Or count the number of hits it took for each player to get the balls into the basket. Or make the game a competition where each player only dribbles one ball.
MATCHING DANCES This fun game should be played only in very small companies. The audience stands in a circle. Someone first points to a player from the circle shouting “U”. The selected player must raise his arms, clench his fists and bend them slightly at the elbows (like a bodybuilder showing his biceps); one player on each side of the selected player (let’s call him “bodybuilder”) must make the following movements: one hand on the waist [the one closest to the “bodybuilder”], the second hand rises up, but does not bend at the elbow, the torso bends to the “bodybuilder". All these movements are accompanied by shouts of “U”. The one who overslept or missed the mark, or bent in the wrong direction, or raised two hands instead of one, is eliminated. And so on up to two people.
JELLY CHINESE For this competition, prepare some delicate dish - for example, jelly. The participants' task is to eat it as quickly as possible using matches or toothpicks.
To carry out this game program, some props are required, elements of costumes that the participants of the game - pranksters and naughty girls - will wear: bows, caps, aprons, panama hats, shorts, etc.
The program is hosted by the famous naughty and prankster Carlson.
The game program is held in the middle of the festive evening to diversify the dance and entertainment program. The director or head teacher makes a congratulatory speech. At the end of his speech, a voice and a soundtrack of a running engine suddenly sound.
Carlson:
Let's board! Landing, I say, come on! You see - the engine is acting up! Let's land!
To the soundtrack of “A Funny Man Lives on the Roof,” Carlson runs and flies into the hall. He misbehaves and plays pranks in every possible way: he pulls girls’ pigtails, puts candies and sweets in his pocket, teases boys. Places fake buttons on chairs and distributes balloons to future participants. One of the balloons bursts loudly over the ear of the director, who is trying to continue his unfinished speech.
Carlson (joyfully):
So! Let's continue the conversation!
Director (surprised):
Excuse me, but what are you doing here, who are you anyway?
(Looks at the papers.)
Carlson:
Like who? I am Carlson, the best Carlson in the world, a man in full bloom.
Director:
Yes, but you are not on the list of alumni invited!
Carlson:
How?! What are you saying? How is it possible that I don’t appear?! Is it me who is moderately well-fed, moderately educated, and doesn’t show up? After all, I’m charming, charming - I’m just beautiful!
Director:
Yes, but we already have enough of this goodness in our school. Carlson (thinking for a minute):
Yes, but I’m also the world’s best inventor, dreamer, prankster and naughty girl, and also (scaring the director) tamer of housekeepers and directors. And there is something to tame you for - look, look how scared your kids are - they won’t run, won’t jump, and let alone blow up a steam engine or steal cheesecakes with a vacuum cleaner - there’s not even a conversation about that! Oh, and boring!
Director:
Well, you know, this is already beyond my strength! (Leaves.)
Carlson:
That's better! Well, let's have some fun now, let's get silly! Do you agree? Well, who wants to be little again for a little while?
The guys who received the balloons come out. Of these, Carlson forms two teams. Notes of two colors are pre-enclosed in the ball. The players' tasks are to burst their balloon, and, having determined which letter is written there, make up the names of two future teams from the letters: “Pranksters” and “Scamps”. Between them, Carlson holds competitions, alternating them with dance compositions.
Team members first “return to childhood” - they put on costume details, turning into Mashenek, Petechek, Sashechek and Vovochek (in bows and shorts). Competitions are accompanied by soundtracks of funny children's songs (“Antoshka”, “Blue Car”, “Cheburashka”, “Let them run clumsily”, “Smile”). You can use songs on a school theme.
The competitions proposed below are options for pranks and fun, but you can simply conduct a series of outdoor games: “Forged Chains”, “Stander”, “Damaged Telephone”, “Nonsense”, “Gardener”, “Fanta” or fun relay races that do not require participants to physical stress.
Carlson takes an active part in all games, fun and competitions, either disturbing the players or helping those retreating. There are sweet prizes for participating in competitions, but every time Carlson “takes a share”, persuading the winner to give him most of the prize.
Carlson
(to the winner of the next competition):
Look, I have two chocolates here: a large one and a small one. Choose any one for yourself, but remember that the one who takes first must take the smaller part.
Graduate:
Then I’ll give you a treat - choose any one yourself.
Carlson grabs the chocolate bar and stuffs it into his mouth.
Graduate:
Oh, well, you took the big one!
Carlson:
Certainly! After all, if you chose the first one, you would take a small part. Graduate:
Carlson:
So why are you upset - you got it!
Find cheat sheets
It is difficult to find a student who has not once in his life written cheat sheets and hidden them from teachers on tests. Why not give graduates the opportunity to do this one last time? To conduct this competition, you need to divide the participants into two teams. Each team receives 10 cheat sheets (they must be the same size) and a blindfold.
Two volunteers are selected from each team (preferably a boy and a girl). One of the participants is blindfolded - he will look for cheat sheets, and on the second, his teammates hide the cheat sheets. If there is no bandage, you can simply take the players who will be looking for cheat sheets out of the room.
When all the cheat sheets are hidden, the players are untied. Their task is to find cheat sheets on a player from the opposing team in a minute. The winner is the team that managed to hide their cheat sheets better.
These are the types of graduation games and competitions you can hold to diversify the festive program.
