The food and processing industries play a vital role in providing the entire world population with food products. Representatives of this sphere are doing everything possible to satisfy the needs and appetites of humanity. To do this, they are constantly working to expand the range of products they produce and improve their quality. The tireless work and undeniable professionalism of food workers is what allows the entire industry to take a leadership position when it comes to the successful development of innovative forms and methods of updating production. Given this, it is not surprising that workers in this sector have their own professional holiday. This is a day when they can relax with loved ones, receive congratulations from them and enjoy an entertainment program with competitions and games.
Cabbage soup and porridge are our food
Another game where players will have to rely on their taste buds. Three people are invited to participate. First you need to prepare containers with ingredients for porridge. In total you will need 18 of them, 6 for each player. It is important that out of 6 containers, only 3 contain products from which you can prepare delicious porridge. All containers are secured to the end of a rope, which is pulled across the entire hall. The opposite ends are handed into the hands of the competition participants. The last one needs to be blindfolded. The players’ task: 1. At the presenter’s signal, pull the containers towards you as quickly as possible (one at a time), open them and taste the contents. 2. The player keeps the product that is suitable for making porridge. In total, you need to collect three of them. At the end of the competition, the presenter checks how the food workers completed the task and determines the winner. You can choose them in the categories “Fastest food maker”, “Most skillful”, “Master of improvisation”.
Presentation
Cooking a delicious dish is not enough. It is important to be able to present it correctly. In this competition, food specialists will be invited to compete in their ability to present food beautifully. To play, you need to purchase two dummies of cakes in advance (you can make three-dimensional ones from cardboard yourself), as well as various powders for decorating confectionery products. The presenter invites 2-3 people to play. At the same time, they don’t know until the very end that they will have to wear large mittens to decorate the cakes, which makes the task much more difficult. An important condition of the competition: the task must be completed in 2 minutes. After the host says: “Stop the game,” guests of the festive event evaluate the work of the food workers and choose the winner by applause or by voting.
Interesting facts about nutrition and the food industry

Compote
For this game you will need models of different fruits. The role of fruit can also be played by small plastic balls, which can be purchased at a toy store. You also need to take two buckets of different colors. Buckets are placed in the center of the hall. Around them, retreating four steps, draw a circle (you can make a circle using tape), this is a line that players cannot cross, behind it fruits are scattered around the perimeter. The competition is a team competition, so the presenter will need to assemble two teams of 4 people each. The teams’ task is to start collecting fruit for compote at the leader’s signal. They need to be sent to their own bucket without crossing the marked line. In other words, the collected fruits will have to be thrown into a bucket, trying not to fall into the neighboring one belonging to the enemy and not miss. At the end of the game, the presenter counts the number of fruits in each bucket and announces the winner.

History and traditions of the holiday of food industry workers
Let's talk about the history of the holiday. Food Worker's Day was established in our country in 1966, according to the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.
The food industry is considered one of the most significant sectors of the economy. Includes the baking industry, pasta industry, flour and cereal industry, meat industry, including sausage production, fish industry, including the production of canned fish, dairy industry, oil and fat industry, and fruit and vegetable industry.
The food industry also includes the alcoholic beverage industry, winemaking and brewing, the production of soft drinks, as well as the tobacco industry.
By the early 1990s, our country's food industry was far from in the best condition. Due to mismanagement, the national economy lost up to 40% of finished products and raw materials.
With the onset of “perestroika” and the economic crisis, food production decreased. However, later, in the 2000s, the situation changed for the better, and the range of products expanded significantly. Nowadays, enterprises of the domestic food and processing industry play a leading role in providing the country's population with food.
This industry has become one of the leaders in the development of new methods and forms of market farming, the introduction of technical and technological innovations. Modern supermarkets provide a wide selection of a wide variety of products.
The food industry employs hundreds of thousands of workers, whom we congratulate on their professional holiday on Food Worker Day. Send them congratulations on Food Industry Day in verse.

Table game
The presenter chooses one letter of the Russian alphabet at random. Guests of the holiday need to name an “edible” word with this letter, that is, the name of any food product. The players answer one after another without hesitation or pause. The one who hesitates is out of the game. The same applies to those who were inattentive and repeated a word already spoken. This game can be made even more interesting. Those who have dropped out enough will be offered to complete some task in exchange for the opportunity to restore their player status. The tasks chosen are the simplest but most amusing, for example, stand in the swallow pose, dance, sing an excerpt of a popular musical composition, kiss the hand of the neighbor on the right.
Baguette relay race
A game in which all guests of the holiday can participate. The leader selects 2 maximum teams, which line up in front of each other (the same number of players in each). Each team receives a baguette. At the signal from the host, the players must pass the baguette to each other without hands. As soon as the bakery product reaches the last player and he takes a bite from it, the game ends. The fastest and most agile team wins. Important! If a baguette falls, it must be sent to the beginning of the line and passed forward again.
We fly to negotiations in economy class
The entire team should be divided into several teams with the same number of participants. An identical cardboard box is placed in front of each team (depending on the number of participants, select the size of the box by eye). At the “start” command, individual teams must gather for a flight for negotiations in economy class, that is, climb into a cardboard box in all possible and impossible ways (some on one leg, some in the arms of someone else, and so on). The team that can complete the plane the fastest will be the winner.
Grant(s)
A prank game in which no one usually wins. This is a funny competition, for which you will need three grenades and three knives. The host selects three heroes of the occasion and gives each a pomegranate and a knife. The players' task is to clean the fruit as quickly as possible, but without splashing or drips of juice. The one who copes with the task, according to all the rules, ahead of the competitors, becomes the winner. However, often no one manages to peel a pomegranate without getting dirty with its juice.
Original dumplings
To play this game you will need 2 packs of gummy bears and 2 sets of children's soft play dough. Competition for two teams of 3 people each. At the presenter’s signal: 1. The first player rolls out a flat cake from the modeling dough and passes it to the second player. 2. The second player places a jelly bear in the center and passes the base of the “dumpling” to the third player. 3. The last player wraps the “dumpling”, connecting the edges. The winner is the team that thus makes as many dumplings as possible in 3 minutes.
Geometric collective
For this competition you will need to make some preparations (on several sheets of paper - in accordance with the number of participants - draw individual geometric shapes, for example, a circle, square, triangle, oval, rhombus, simple curve, and so on). All sheets have the same geometric shapes. Each participant receives one such sheet and a marker. At the command of the leader, the team members must draw the remaining parts of the body to a specific figure, turning a certain geometric figure into a figure - their employee, colleague and sign each, they also need to draw themselves. Then the presenter collects all the paintings and shows them to the guests of the corporate party, they vote for the best painting, the author of which is awarded a prize. And pictures of employees can be left in the office as a souvenir to lift their spirits.
I love it, I can do it, I practice it
This competition requires several medium soft sponge cakes or muffins. The presenter invites two or three food workers to participate in the game. Everyone is given a plate on which a sweet treat is placed. The players' task is to eat the cupcake without their hands as quickly as possible. The one who gets ahead of his rivals wins. A competition for “gluttons” can be held in another way. A popular alternative is to have players eat the ice cream as quickly as possible using chopsticks, a traditional East Asian cutlery.
The most ridiculous excuse
The host takes turns telling the situation to the guests, and they have to take turns to “get the fuck out”; whoever makes it funniest is a great guy, because at the end of the game, the funniest participant gets a prize. So, the presenter says: You crashed the boss’s car, but why? And the guests take turns answering: Her color does not suit his horoscope or It seemed to me that this was an evil alien robot, and I could not endanger my beloved boss, and so on. The situations can be completely different, for example, you came to work in a dressing gown and slippers, why? You scanned your face on a scanner, printed out the pictures and hung them around the office, for what purpose? You brought a rooster to work, why? And so on.
