Graduation is a special day both for the former students themselves, and for their parents, and for teachers. After the ceremony ends, the fun begins - prom s and . It should be perky and cheerful, non-trivial and definitely memorable. An important component of this celebration is graduation competitions.

In addition to the fact that they should be interesting and exciting, it is good if they are somehow related to the school theme, because students have to say goodbye to it, so why not enjoy it one more time?

"Who's in the photo?"

Some mini-competitions require preparation in advance. So, you need to ask the parents of graduates or, even more fun, teachers, to bring their old photographs where they are depicted in childhood or adolescence.

The pictures need to be collected in advance and indicated in the back with a pencil who is depicted on them, but in such a way that none of the players can see this inscription. For example, hang them on a stand along with blank sheets intended for guessing. After summing up the results, a winner is chosen - the one who correctly guessed the people in the photo.

The same can be done with photographs of the graduates themselves, where they are depicted as babies.

If possible, you can scan the photos and then display them on the screen. The game is very funny, exciting and entertaining.

Relay race “Collect a briefcase”

The competition will require chairs with some accessories on them, as well as briefcases. On each chair the number of items should be the same.

1. Teams need to line up at a certain distance from the chairs.
2. At the signal, those participants who stand in front run to the chair and put one of the objects on it into the briefcase.
3. They return to the back of the line and the baton passes to other team members.
4. When the participant puts the last item on the chair into the briefcase, he brings the assembled briefcase to the jury.

The point is to see which team is more nimble and agile.

Such competitions for 11th grade graduation can be very fun, taking into account exactly what items the organizers put on the chair. If everything is simple with stationery, then it will be funny to watch how graduates try to fit skates, a soccer ball or a long crib sheet into their briefcase, which also needs to be folded first. In general, everyone will laugh.

"Apple Catching"

For the competition you will need ordinary apples, a large bucket and a towel.

1. A bucket of water must be placed in the center, and the organizers must pour apples into it so that the entire surface of the water is covered.
2. All competitors are given a towel.
3. The player must try to pull out the fruit using only his teeth.

Such competitions for 9th grade graduation are best held outdoors. If you have to do this indoors, you need to take care of covering the floor to protect it from water.

Competition "Take a bite of the apple"

Another little competition involving apples. The fruit is hung tightly by the stalk. One by one, the participants approach him and try to bite off a piece, holding their hands behind their backs. It's not as easy as it seems - you have to try.

To arrange such a competition between teams, you need to take two apples. The winner will be the group that manages to eat the apple first.

"Dance Partners"

This team game has no winners and losers, its task is to make everyone present dance. First, a guy and a girl are selected and begin to dance. When the music stops, they go into the hall and choose other couples among those present. The music stops again and the procedure is repeated, the number of pairs increasing.

This game lasts until the dance floor is completely filled.

Competition for experts in your school

A very fun competition that will help not only determine the most attentive student, but also give graduates the opportunity to remember everything that was once a part of their life, but is now a thing of the past. The game takes place in three rounds.

The first involves the participation of everyone present in the room. Questions can be asked to each person individually or to a specific group. Afterwards, those who managed to give at least one correct answer will be invited to the stage.

Special prizes and titles of real experts are given to those who give the most correct answers. Approximate questions that may include: interesting competitions for graduation may be as follows:

1. In what year was the school founded?
2. How many classrooms does it have?
3. What color are the school principal's eyes?
4. Whose portrait hangs in the center of the language and literature classroom?

In fact, you can come up with an incredible number of such questions. The main thing is to show imagination and creativity. Students will probably have to rack their brains to remember the answers, but they will refresh their memory a lot key points school life. By the way, teachers can come up with similar questions. They will help test how much they know their issues, and how they are able to take an unconventional approach to finding the answer. In any case, everyone will have fun.

Competitions for fourth grade graduates

For former fourth-graders, the moment of graduation is also important, because they are standing on the threshold high school, where a different education system and a different life await them. To make this day memorable, you need to make sure that competitions for 4th grade graduation are interesting, funny and exciting:

1. "Primer". In front of the participants on the table will be an ABC book open on a certain page, and their task is to blow on it as hard as possible in order to turn over as many pages as possible. Who has the number as a result open page there will be more, he will be the winner.
2. "A deuce again." The teacher should draw on the board a number of twos of the same size, similar to the number of participants. Whichever one of them can erase the two first wins.
3. "Map of the country." You need to print out a map of the state with a clear division of the country into regions. Participants will have to carefully cut the map along the boundaries of the areas and say how many there are. Afterwards, other participants will have to glue these pieces together to get the correct full map again.
4. "Noodles on the ears." Not all elementary school students always do their homework diligently and conscientiously. Which of them hasn’t at least once pulled the wool over teachers’ ears? The game will show who does it as professionally as possible. You need to divide the participants into two teams. In each team, half of the students sit on chairs, while the others receive ropes of the same length. After the leader’s command, those equipped with ropes run to their seated classmates and wrap ropes around their ears, then the next participants do the same. The one who wraps his ear first wins. At the same time, you need to wrap the rope tightly, because if it falls off, it needs to be retied, and the result does not count.

Games and competitions for graduation are a great way to make it brighter and more fun. Graduates, as well as teachers and parents, happily take part in them, receiving unforgettable emotions and bonuses to add to their school memories.

Often, after the end of the prom, not the most interesting moments of it are remembered. The ceremonial part with sentimental and touching speeches and the presentation of certificates will definitely be remembered. What about the festive, banquet part of it? Let your graduation be remembered with fun games and competitions!

We offer games, sweepstakes and competitions for the graduation party, which can be used during any festive events, and especially for the last evening of high school students.

Competitions for guests sitting at festive tables

Dates and numbers

The presenter invites the children to remember the most significant events in the life of the class and school, which were probably erased from memory by the time of graduation... Especially dates and other numbers, for example:

• What year did you enter first grade?
• What year did you graduate from primary school?
• How many years have geography been studied at school? What about chemistry?
• What is the number for the school principal's office?
• How many steps are there on the stairs from the first to the last floor of the school?
• How many steps (on average) are there from the nearest bus stop to the school?
• How many bus routes stop at the nearest stop?
• How many subjects did you study in your senior year? And how much for all school years?
• Remember your classmates' birthdays. Whose date is closest to the beginning? calendar year? Who celebrates their last birthday of the year?

There are a great many questions, the main thing is that there is no need for hackneyed and cliched ones. For each correct answer - a pre-prepared token (ticket, forfeit, candy, etc.). The prize is given to the one who received the most tokens.

I recognize you by name

Each group at the table was given an envelope with separate letters from which they need to make up the surname, first name and patronymic of the teacher, head teacher or director educational institution. All groups have different personalities, but the same total letters Students do not know who is encrypted. The winners are the team that guessed the fastest and completed the task.

This competition is also interesting because each of the encrypted name owners can then be given the floor to congratulate the graduates.

Burime

The presenter gives each group of children printed words - rhymes, and they need to compose a poem-burime on a school topic:

• To school - for fun.
• Teaching is torture.
• Cheerful - new settlers.
• Hiking - as you go.
• Labor will be erased.
• Lover is supreme.

You can create rhymes that will be understandable to this particular class, related to their joint travels, trips, meetings (for example, “museum - Colosseum”) The prize goes to the team that came up with the most interesting poem.

Hero of our time

We invite children, parents and teachers to decide which of the graduates is most suitable for the images of literary heroes (and along the way they will have to remember who this description belongs to):

Thus, you can recall important or simply memorable literary heroes: Ilya Muromets, Nightingale the Robber, The Inspector General, Young Peasant Lady, Poor Lisa, Alice in Wonderland, Margarita from “The Master and Margarita”, etc.

Ask the presenter or talented graduates to come up with descriptions of literary characters in advance. Agree, this is a very educational game for the graduating class! After its completion, be sure to reward the most well-read players with prizes!

Forecast Bureau

This is a task, as they say, for the future. We hand out paper and pens to 11th grade graduates, let everyone write how they see themselves in 15 years (you can set another deadline, but 5 or 10 is not enough to achieve something outstanding).

Let everyone imagine themselves at a respectable age, describe their future family, position in society, profession, place of work or residence.

We carefully roll each leaf into a tube and place it in a specially prepared box or vase where they will be stored.

If one of the parents or classroom teacher will leave these letters as a keepsake; years later it will be very interesting to read and evaluate whose predictions were closest to the truth.

Graduation 2017

Usually competitions at such holidays are different years are repeated, smoothly flowing from one scenario to another, but the graduation party of 2017 should be remembered for something special. You can write 2017 wishes to the school or give the class teacher that many flowers.

• For example, number 2: Kaverin’s book “Two Captains”, the song “Two Cheerful Geese”, Reshetnikov’s Painting “Two Again”, etc.
• The associations with the number zero are interesting. For example, someone will remember the saying “zero without a stick,” while someone’s imagination or memory will suggest something completely unexpected.
• By analogy, we remember everything connected with the numbers 1 and 6. Let both children and adults fantasize!

Songs about school

Remember songs that in one way or another relate to school themes or were heard in films about students. Condition: be sure to perform the chorus or one verse! The team that performed the excerpt most recently receives a prize.

Competitions on the dance floor

Molecules

As you know, molecules are made up of atoms. All the graduates go out onto the dance floor and depict atoms dancing alone (moving chaotically in space).

Dance geography

Participants are divided into groups of 5-6 people. They dance, depicting the national and dance characteristics of the people, whose characteristic music sounds:

If you dance one verse or a characteristic passage from each melody, you will still end up with a dance battle for 20–30 minutes. Teachers and parents evaluate the performers with applause. Whoever gets the loudest applause is the winner!

Switching roles

This is another one dance competition. Parents and teachers are invited to the dance floor - they form one team, and the students form another. Each team has its own task:

1. Adults should show how, in their opinion, young people dance in clubs and discos to typical youth music.

   For complexity and interest, you can play them something from club dance tunes - from hip-hop and R&B to techno and house styles.

2. And for young people, accordingly, offer melodies in the style of “disco of the 80s” for dancing, and ask them to perform dances with the characteristic movements of those years when their parents and teachers were young.

A very fun competition! It's especially fun to watch adults getting lost in the rhythms of club music.

The house that...

Everyone knows the poem "The House That Jack Built." Before the competition begins, players are given roles:

The presenter reads the poem, and the players try to act out their roles when their words are called. For example, the “house” stands up straight and makes a roof over its head with its hands, the “tit” flutters its wings, the “Chulan” squats down, “Jack” depicts a builder laying bricks, and so on. Moreover, the characters must interact with each other. “Jack” - with “house”, “wheat” - in an embrace with “closet”, “cat” catches “tit”, etc. Quite a cool competition.

The humor is that as the poem progresses, the presenter not only often repeats the same role words, but also speeds up the pace.

Artists need to carefully follow the text and do everything correctly, interacting with each other. The end result is still confusion, leapfrog and a lot of laughter!

Crossing

Participants line up in two or three columns (like a train) on one line. Task: answering the leader’s questions correctly, take a step forward and get to the other shore. You can confer without breaking the column (this will be the most difficult). Having answered correctly, the entire column takes a step forward. Those who did not have time (answered later or incorrectly) remain in place. The first team to cross the crossing wins.

The questions should, of course, be from the school curriculum:

Mathematics

Everyone stands in a general circle and, starting with the leader, calls numbers from one to one hundred in turn. Condition: all numbers in which the number 2 appears must be replaced with the phrase “Mom, I’m sorry!”, and the number 6 with the exclamation “Wow!”

Thus, they will be called: one - mom, sorry - three - four - five - wow - seven - eight - nine - ten - eleven - mom, sorry, etc. The main thing is to set a good pace from the very beginning, and when participants will reach the numbers 16, 22, 26, 32, 36, it will be fun to follow the players and participate in the competition.

Whoever makes a mistake leaves the circle, and the team continues counting. The winner is the most attentive and persistent.

Game for everyone during prom

"Secret Friend"

The game is quite well-known and loved by many, so I would also like to suggest playing it as entertainment for the prom.

At the beginning of the evening, the boys pull notes from the box on which the names of the girls are written, and the girls - the names of the boys. The one whose name came with the note is your secret friend. Throughout the evening, without revealing your friend’s secret name to anyone, you can and should show him (her) special signs of attention, surprises, gifts, pleasant little things: an invitation to dance, a compliment, a flower. At the end of the evening, everyone tries to guess who was whose secret friend. In any case, the secret is revealed.

It’s also good to play “secret friend” with teachers and parents. Competitions specifically for parents are rarely held, but adults (fathers, mothers and teachers) can take part in the game both together and in parallel with high school students. And, believe me, then their toasts, dances, congratulations and compliments will become especially bright and unusual!

Mail

It’s also a well-known game, but for some reason it’s a classic of the genre, but for some reason it’s often forgotten and not taken seriously in the age of mobile technology. Although the age of 17-18 years is romantic and sentimental for boys and girls, and therefore postal messages will come in handy precisely at graduation party when the whole class gets together for the last time.

In a real or specially prepared mailbox for this day, you can, after signing an envelope, put a message to any person if you want to say something to him at the end.

Condition: no offensive statements from the senders and no offense from nonsense from the recipients.

We leave envelopes, pens, paper next to by mailbox. We open it at the very end of the evening, and everyone will decide for themselves where and when to read the messages. Most often, it is these letters that remain as souvenirs in school yearbooks and girls’ diaries, and not SMS messages and letters on social networks.

It depends only on you what kind of competitions will be held at the prom: funny, intellectual, romantic or stupid and offensive. Under no circumstances should you leave this component of the last ball to chance; do not trust the hosts to prepare the evening 100%.

It makes sense to discuss in advance which competitions are preferable for your children and what you do not want to allow. In order not to blush later from hearing nonsense or vulgar games, think through this part of the evening thoroughly. After all, it is not the quantity of dishes on the tables, but the quality of the interesting time spent that graduates will remember for a long time.

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. It's about about the last bell of 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 Last call You can make this holiday so cheerful that schoolchildren will have no time to be sad.

Draw the school year

This competition is great for students of all grade levels. The teacher asks all students to draw on a large canvas of paper the moment that they remember most in the past academic year. To do this, it is not necessary to have remarkable drawing abilities. This competition does not evaluate artistic talents, but is held only so that schoolchildren remember the fun, bright and interesting moments that happened at school during the year.

Try to guess

To participate in this competition, the teacher calls willing students and blindfolds them with scarves. Any object is placed on the table in front of each student, and the participants must guess what exactly is standing or lying in front of them. But don’t think that this is easy to do, because participants are only allowed to touch the object with a pen or pencil in their hand. The one who can know the subject first wins.

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 a prediction to the cake 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.

Tower of Babel

This competition for the Last Bell is suitable not only for graduates, but also for students of all classes. The presenter announces that with the help of this competition he wants to check how the students have learned to interact with each other over the year. He invites them to divide into teams of 5 people, whose task is to build the highest possible tower from a construction set in one minute. The winner is the team that managed to build the tallest and most durable tower from the construction set.

School crocodile

The teacher divides the students into two teams. After that, each team chooses one representative. The selected participant must draw a word with chalk on the board that the opposing team wishes for him. The participant’s task is to depict the hidden word so that the team can guess it. No more than three minutes are given to guess the word. The team that manages to guess the largest number of pictures wins.

Fact or Fiction

Each student tells a story that happened to him at school during the school year. The story can be either fictional or real. The other participants' task is to determine whether the student was lying or telling the truth. The winner is the one who managed to identify the most invented stories.

Message to descendants

The teacher asks students to record a video with a message in which they need to wish something to people from the future. If the Last Bell takes place in the lower grades, then the wish can be written down for an adult. Well, graduates can record a message as first graders. The competition will look both touching and fun.

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 in advance a large number of cards so that there are 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.

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.

Sushi

Students will definitely enjoy this Last Bell competition. To carry it out, you need to prepare several pairs of sushi chopsticks and several plates of food, for example, sliced ​​apples or chocolates. The challenge is to empty your plate as quickly as possible using chopsticks.

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 letters not in alphabetical order, but arbitrarily. 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.

Guess the teacher

Each teacher at school has his own behavioral characteristics. Based on this, you can hold a really fun competition for the Last Bell, which will delight not only students, but also teachers.

The presenter calls one person at a time and asks him to take out a piece of paper from the box on which the name of a particular teacher is written. The participant needs to show this teacher without words, focusing on the peculiarities of his behavior. There are teachers who are quite easy to show off, but there are also those who do not have pronounced characteristics. So this competition will not be equally simple for everyone. One student must show the teacher, and the other participants must guess who exactly is being shown to them. The winner of the competition is determined by popular vote. Students and teachers must choose the person who best fits the role.
