Many people say that a birthday is both a happy and sad holiday. This is really so, because on this day a person understands that a year of life has flown by. But this only applies to adults, because children do not delve into such moments, so on their birthday they have fun with all their hearts. However, they have another holiday, which is both sad and happy. We are talking about the Last Bell at school, which means that children will not be able to see their favorite classmates for the whole summer. But with the help of games and competitions for the Last Bell, you can make this holiday so fun that schoolchildren will have no time to be sad.
Sweet predictions
This competition is only suitable for graduating classes. For this you need to order a large cake. It must be cut into many small pieces so that their number corresponds to the number of students in the class. To each piece you need to attach a piece of paper with a prediction about what the graduate will become after school, for example, an athlete, musician, actor, businessman or astronaut. You can attach the prediction to the cake in different ways, for example, using a toothpick.
Instead of a graduation cake, you can order Chinese fortune cookies. The competition will be more fun with this confectionery product. Especially if you approach the predictions themselves with humor.
King and queen
This competition consists of a secret ballot box located in the hall throughout the evening, next to which there are leaves and pens. Each of the guests of the evening, taking into account activity, energy, artistry, cheerful character, playfulness, enthusiasm, beauty, extravagance and other qualities, must decide for whom he will vote, who is worthy of the title of King and Queen of the ball. At the end of the celebration, the votes are counted and the King and Queen are announced, who can be awarded with homemade crowns (similar crowns can also be bought in the store).
Associations
Schoolchildren are divided into pairs. The presenter calls the first team and gives one of the participants pre-prepared cards on which various words are written. The participant reads what is written on the card, but does not pronounce this word, but only describes it in his own words. For example, if the word "Ice Cream" is written on the card, the participant might say, "Cold and sweet." If he comes across a card with the word “Sea,” then he can describe this word as “Deep and salty.” The team that can guess the most words wins.
To conduct this competition, you need to prepare a large number of cards in advance, so that there is enough for everyone who wants to participate. With the help of this competition, you can find out how students have learned to express their thoughts over the school year.
The importance of games and competitions for teenagers
- Mental and physical development of children;
- Acquiring moral qualities and overcoming psychological problems;
- A bright and joyful means of education and learning;
- Development of imagination, help to come up with your own laws and follow them;
- They help to unite the team, that is, the class; as for graduation, graduates who, thanks to competitions at the graduation party, sometimes get to know each other much better than in all the years of study;
- They develop the independence of graduates, as they themselves are involved in preparing and holding the event.
The approach to choosing competitions for graduation should be serious, since through them, children learn the correct attitude towards each other, towards parents, teachers and school. Thanks to this, students become spiritually enriched, choose roles that are meaningful for themselves, and realize and develop their talents.
You can come up with competitions and games for teenagers yourself or with the help of teachers, parents, and the Internet. Also, professional presenters are often in demand, who will prepare a program in advance and conduct the event.
our school
The host of the Last Bell divides everyone present into two teams and announces a quiz about knowledge of the school. He asks the teams questions that are somehow related to the school. For example, he may ask, “How many teachers are there in the school?”, “When was the school founded?” or “How many classes are there in the school?” These questions may be too difficult for those present, so you can prepare answers for them. The team that knows the school better and was able to give more correct answers wins.
Competitions for the alumni holiday
They imply physical or mental competition, so to make them more interesting, it is better to organize the presentation of small comic gifts or impromptu medals and diplomas to the winners.
Fun competitions for teenagers at graduation will help not only entertain them, but also remember the knowledge and skills acquired at school.
- "Competition of Connoisseurs"
It is carried out in three stages: in the first stage, the entire audience participates, answering pre-conceived questions asked by the presenters. In the second, those who answered correctly at least once are called to the stage. In the third, the students who answered the most questions remain, and a final round is arranged between them.
Question options: how old is the school, how many classrooms, desks, windows, portraits are in any classroom, the youngest teacher, etc.
- Club “What? Where? When?"
“Experts” from different classes play, who are selected after the competition is announced, which will once again demonstrate the cohesion of the classes and the leadership of some students. They take turns being called on stage and answering humorous impromptu questions from the principal, teachers and parents. This competition gives children the opportunity to once again consolidate their knowledge, and teachers to check how much they have learned during the training.
- "Dance competition"
The presenters announce the dance of the birthday boys of one month, the dance of students and parents, the dance of parents and teachers.
- "Autograph"
One young man from each class must collect as many signatures as possible from classmates and teachers within a certain time.
- "Teacher Exam"
Students create interesting questions, print them out, preferably in the form of tests or tests, and distribute them to teachers, who answer them within the allotted time, after which teachers are marked and comments are given in the manner of each teacher. Talented copying of teachers will cause a storm of emotions among graduates and once again remind them of the lessons.
- "Guess the photo"
A piece of a photo of some office, event or teacher is presented, and the audience must guess what exactly is depicted; after the correct answer, it is necessary to show the photo in full.
- "Pack your briefcase"
The number of teams is equal to the number of classes. For example, five people speak from each class. On the tables for each team there are briefcases and things, some of them relate to the contents of the briefcase, and some do not, for example, notebooks, textbooks, pens, toothbrushes, etc. Pupils, one at a time, run up to the tables and put one item in their briefcase. After which, experts in the form of teachers and parents check the contents for the quantity and quality of things. The winner is the team that collects as many school-related items as possible into a portfolio.
- Literary scholars
The teacher of Russian language and literature reads out quotes and episodes from any literary work; the first participant to guess its name is considered the winner. If no one can guess, then the audience joins in: other schoolchildren, parents and teachers.
Alphabet
In the lower grades, all students know the alphabet because they are forced to learn it. But older schoolchildren forget the alphabet, because it is completely unnecessary for them to know it. To conduct this competition, you need to draw two identical squares on the board, which must be divided into 33 fragments. After this, you need to select two teams of six people. The participants' task is to fill in each of the 33 squares with one letter of the alphabet. Whoever copes with this faster wins.
In order to complicate the competition, you need to ask participants to write down the letters not in alphabetical order, but randomly. This will force the participants to really work as a team, because they will have to work together to keep track of which letters are written.
What determines the choice of games at kindergarten graduation?
Graduation is also a kind of psychological step into the adult future, a stage of growing up.

The main storyline of the kindergarten graduation is built on the idea of growing up, transitioning into “adult” life.
