Invitations
What is a real celebration without an official invitation? You can make invitations like this:
- having come up with an original name for the birthday,
- indicating the exact time,
- date,
- venue of the event.
So that little guests understand that something interesting awaits them and look forward to the holiday, an invitation card can be made in the colors of the Minecraft game: green-brown squares, hand-painted with bright felt-tip pens or cut out of colored paper.
On the invitation card you can depict any character from the game or part of the paraphernalia. It is possible to place the event script on the other side of the invitation, which will add some zest.
Dress code
One option is to make themed T-shirts yourself right for your birthday. To do this, purchase plain green T-shirts and prepare stencils with cut out squares.
Apply black acrylic paint to the T-shirt according to the template, remove the stencil and leave the design to dry. After half an hour, each guest will have a T-shirt with the Creeper's face.
You can also invite the kids to come dressed as Minecraft characters: dress up as witches, Endermen or Creepers.
The easiest option is to ask parents to dress their children in green, brown and black T-shirts.
Holiday decoration in Minecraft style
Pixel graphics are a unique feature that creates a special atmosphere. The world consists of blocks, characters and objects look clumsy, there are no smoothed edges. The hue is made up of pixels: the yellow square is not solid, but is divided into smaller ones of different tones. This point should be clearly visible in the decor; there is no need to try to “improve the graphics.”
Having crossed the threshold of the room in which the holiday is held, the child should immediately be imbued with the virtual atmosphere:
- inscriptions: “Happy Birthday”, “Minecraft” - all made of pixels and green-brown colors, it is possible to add an image of the game hero,
- tablecloth also with the theme of the game and the same color palette,
- on the walls of the room, on the curtains, stick posters depicting the heroes of the game Minecraft (print from the Internet on a color printer),
- whistles,
- confetti,
- balls of green and brown colors of various shades,
- Garlands.
For the most part, the decoration for a Minecraft-themed party consists of two types of elements. Volumetric - foam cubes or boxes of any size. If it is corrugated cardboard, you should not paint on it; it will become deformed from moisture.
The second type is also paper/cardboard, but a flat sheet, with “ladder” edges or just squares that make up the overall picture. Flat decorations can be collected into garlands, hung on walls, glued to dishes, etc.
What it is?
Minecraft is a popular computer game where you create your own universe out of blocks. Do you know the Lego sets that kids can use to build anything? It’s the same here, only in the virtual world!
The game does not limit your imagination - you can create structures or destroy them, plant plants or fish, fight or wander peacefully around the world. You can do anything here, which is why many boys and girls adore it.
Festive table decoration
For serving you will need: a green tablecloth, artificial grass, transparent plastic boxes for bulk treats (penny ones, gift wrapping), square plates - you can order holiday sets in the Minecraft style through the network.
The festive table menu can be very diverse, the main thing is to maintain square shapes, the presence of pixels and colors:
- drinks can be green and red in transparent containers, labeled with what they are: potion of strength, potion of acceleration, potion of experience, potion of luck, potion of jumping ability, potion of invisibility, antidote for potions, etc.
- square napkins,
- table stand for dishes, also shaped like a square,
- plates either in the popular Minecraft game style shape, or laid out in a square on a round plate (if there are no others),
- You can use food containers instead of dishes, it will also look original.
Form
Minecraft is a three-dimensional world made up of cubes. The environment is built and rebuilt from cubes, like a construction set. No rounded corners. Everything that can take this shape should be square: shelves, poufs, bedside tables, toy boxes. The colors of the walls, rugs and rugs also have a pattern of equilateral rectangles.
Minecraft cake
No matter how rich the table and well-prepared entertainment, the most long-awaited part of any holiday is bringing out the cake and eating sweets. You should be well prepared for this:
- buy candles according to the number of years of the birthday person,
- number with the due date,
- fireworks candle,
- musical candle.
Of course, you shouldn’t mix everything together, but choosing the best option is the best thing.
It’s quite a difficult task to bake a Minecraft-themed cake at home; it may be delicious, but for a themed birthday, decoration also plays an important role.
You will have to turn to the help of professional confectioners and bake a cake to order:
- square shape,
- with unchanged pixels,
- with the name of the birthday person and the number of years to be celebrated,
- with the inscription Minecraft.
Taking out the cake can be turned into a whole ceremony: turn off the lights, close the curtains, and bring out a sweet dessert with lit candles to the song “happy birthday to you (name of the birthday person).” If you capture this solemn moment on video or take a photo, it will remain a memory for many years. Ask them to blow out the birthday candles to the friendly applause of those present, while making a wish. Now it must certainly come true!
For tea, the table should also be set according to the theme:
- cookies and sweets are arranged in the shape of squares,
- table decoration in birthday color theme,
- fruits are transformed into fabulous dishes.
Minecraft Birthday Party Costumes
If there is an active scenario at the party, Minecraft-themed costumes should be comfortable. You shouldn't dress your children in cardboard from head to toe, except for a photo shoot. It’s better to order or decorate T-shirts with a themed picture yourself:
- draw with acrylic on the fabric through a stencil (poke with a sponge). Acrylic dries quickly, so you can entrust this important task to guests right at the party. For children, additional entertainment + souvenir;
- buy regular T-shirts or ask them to bring them in advance, decorate with appliqué from pieces of fabric, sew or glue on a web; use self-adhesive film to assemble a face like a mosaic from pieces of multi-colored film and sculpt it on clothes when guests arrive (ask them to wear something suitable).
An interesting option is Minecraft costumes from ordinary clothes, recreating the image. For example, for girls, a witch wears a purple dress and a black pointed hat. Or Gast - a gray light T-shirt and a skirt made of wide ribbons (paws) of the same fabric. For boys, any humanoid horror - the scarier it is, the more fun it is for them.
For a photo shoot, masks on sticks or elastic bands - any face - will be useful. Children with boxes on their heads look very funny - cut out holes for the eyes, glue on the texture of a skin or mob.
Niches
Niches are often used in the interiors of virtual houses. Designing an opening in the nursery wall at the renovation stage will provide additional storage space and support the style of the interior. A simpler option is 3D stickers that imitate niches of complex shapes. So similar that you want to extend your hand towards the game character.
Minecraft Photo Zone
A birthday in Minecraft style will be truly unforgettable if you make a special photo zone in the style of the game. It’s better to order it from a printing house, but you can do it yourself. But the photographs can already be unprofessional, taken, for example, with a camera with instant output of photographs. This way, guests can take their impressions with them.
Texture
To construct buildings in the game, blocks of brick, stone or wood are used. Therefore, it is appropriate to use the same materials in decorating the room. The main thing is to observe the correct geometric shape, the “pixel” arrangement of stone or wooden dies.
Games and entertainment at a Minecraft party
Competition "escape from zombies"
Choose from those present several people who agree to be zombies. Wrap the selected guests from head to toe in toilet paper, run away from them to a safe distance and announce the start of the game. Zombies must catch other participants in the competition in order to turn them into similar creatures or free themselves from toilet paper by turning into humans. A fun and noisy competition, after which there will be a lot of garbage left that needs to be cleaned up together.
Write a wish to the birthday boy
Hang a Whatman paper on the wall with the name of the birthday boy written in paint, you can indicate how old he is. Entering the names of the invited children at certain intervals (leaving space for congratulations) in a beautiful multi-colored font, you can already make several wishes for parents as an example. Give children paints, markers, pencils or felt-tip pens (optional) to write congratulations to the hero of the occasion. All guests will work together to write down their wishes. You should get a bright, large card with warm words from your closest people. For the child, this will remain a good memory of the holiday.
Duel
How would you be at a Minecraft party without it? You can fight while standing on a long board (don't step off) or inside a circle (don't go outside). Instead of cardboard swords, you can buy aqua sticks (penny, light, bright).
Tower to the clouds
Literally everyone did this in Minecraft! For what? It's just fun! From anything (the same matchboxes), everyone builds their own tower or in teams.
Asylum
Almost all gamers have it to hide from evil mobs. Sheets of thick cardboard or boxes, tape - the presenter has about 20 minutes of free time. If there is a good supply of “building materials” and free space, the guys will be captivated by the construction until the end of the party. Then it’s better to move this entertainment to the end of the script.
Recycler
A thing for destroying garbage. A box with holes, wads of colorful paper, tape to mark borders. How many teams/people participate in the competition, so many colors of papers. Throw from a distance and at the end count whose “garbage” there is more in the disposal.
Bypass the trap
The gamer notices many traps only when he sees an explosion on the screen or falls on his butt on a cactus. There are screenshots in the knowledge base; for authenticity, you can repeat the textures. Or just scatter colorful sheets on the floor. One is blindfolded (the traps are invisible) and sent from the start to the finish. The others shout to him: move to the right, move to the left, step over, etc. The goal is to transport all the guys in this way to the other side of the castle corridor. After the next guest is blindfolded, change the location of the traps.
Draw your skin
A cool skin is an indispensable attribute of any gamer! Cut out white figures, line them into “pixels”, prepare markers and let the children create unique characters themselves.
Of course, not a single invitee will remain indifferent after such a fun, well-prepared and thought-out celebration. When the holiday comes to an end, participants need to distribute certificates with their names written in, and give the remaining souvenirs, packing them in green gift bags. You can give out props as souvenirs: T-shirts (“bodies” of mobs), weapons (swords, pickaxes and shovels made of cardboard) and cardboard “heads” of mobs. Show your imagination and make the celebration unforgettable, and our ideas will help you with this!
Forfeits from Creeper
the one who is caught by the Creeper comes out and shows what the presenter tells him.
Examples of Minecraft forfeits:
- Draw a creeper that exploded.
- Show a zombie who saw fresh brains and went to his victim.
- Portray Steve, who, looking back, saw Herobrine.
- Show Steve with a creeper exploding behind him.
- Show a funny Minecraft penguin.
- Walk around the stool in small steps with the words: I am Lunokhod 2013. Lunatics, where are you?
- Laugh like an evil genius.
