Quest for March 8

A quest is an adventure that leaves no one indifferent, team-based, fun and always with a good ending. That is why quests are very often arranged on calendar holidays: they are more interesting than ordinary contests or standard congratulatory programs.

Quest for March 8 - a good opportunity to give the heroes of the occasion to demonstrate their talents. First of all, intellectual, of course: ingenuity, erudition, attentiveness, etc. The organizers must take into account many important points so that the quest is not ordinary, but is suitable for the holiday.

For the event to be successful, you need to take into account the specifics of the preparation.

• The theme should be based on female talents: their skills, qualities, beauty. Depending on the age of the participants, a narrower topic is chosen - for children, these are fairy tales, books, cartoons, for adults, the field for questions and tasks is greater.

• Rules should be concise and succinct. The quest leader announces them at the very beginning. There can be 2 teams competing (for a victory) or one (for finding a treasure).

• Assignments should not be repeated, activities should change. The closer to the climax, the more difficult the tasks.

• Great if the quest accompanies visual and musical design - These are powerful tools for creating a festive gaming atmosphere.

• The winners must find a prize, a treasure: these will be gifts prepared for the holiday.

Let's say it was decided to arrange a small quest for the children at school. Most likely, only girls will participate in it.Boys, on the other hand, organize the program, conduct, judge, assist, etc.

Standard quest scheme for girls in elementary school:

• puzzles, charades, rebuses - the intellectual beginning always perfectly sets the pace for the game; handouts or game materials must be of high quality;

• questions and riddles - you can play blitz, you can pull questions out of the hat;

• solving ciphers - all children adore this, an alphabet-map is drawn up in advance, where each letter corresponds to some symbol (for example, flowers or heroines of fairy tales), and, focusing on this alphabet, the participants solve the cipher;

• needlewomen competition - it is quite appropriate in a quest, for example, to make dolls hairstyles for a while or to sew something, weave, make a decor from scrap materials;

• collect the card - for each completed task, the team receives a piece of the map, this is a class map, when all tasks are completed and the map is collected, a place with a treasure will be marked on it.

Also, children can prepare a quest for teachers on March 8. Two teaching teams are defined: they can only have women. Before lessons, they gather in the assembly hall, and the organizers present each team with their own quest card. The finished, completed map of the team must be given at the appointed time and at the appointed place (for example, at 14.00 in the assembly hall). The rules are determined: tasks can be performed only during breaks.

And the tasks are very different: solving puzzles and puzzles, finding answers to questions related to colleagues (for example, what is the favorite color of director Anna Petrovna), recognizing films by a picture-episode, etc. The more questions will be associated with the school, with the team, the more interesting. Naturally, all the answers must be taken in advance from the people involved in this and recorded, so that later there are no disagreements.

After lessons in the assembly hall, the teams deal cards. While the jury checks the fulfillment of the tasks, the guys can show a mini-concert, in a word, entertain the participants. If all tasks are completed correctly, friendship wins. The captains of the two teams are awarded the "key of happiness" (hand-made article). They have to make some symbolic movement for them, the door to the hall will open, and the guys will enter there with flowers for the teachers.

Even at home, you can organize an interesting, exciting quest for just one participant - a mother. It is prepared by the whole family with dad at the head (although this condition is variable). As a result of completing the tasks, the mother must find her gift.

These can be a variety of tasks.

• With your eyes closed, taste 3 types of sweets and guess which ones are her favorites.

• Children take mom's makeup bag and remove one item from it. Mom should examine the cosmetic bag in 30 seconds and tell her what is missing.

• Mom is given a folder with children's drawings. Mom has to get it out one at a time and guess the author. If the children have already grown up, and the drawings have been found in the archive, the task will be even more interesting. To make it funny, you can ask dad to draw something. Mom is unlikely to guess who the author is.

• Mom is given: toys, a doll table, a small tablecloth, toy dishes... Her task is a beautiful table setting, shrinking of "guests". And all in 2 minutes. Children evaluate the serving.

• Mom is brought a box, in it - beautifully folded into a tube and tied with a braid paper. On them words and wishes, compliments and epithets. Mom's task is to guess who the author of each of them is.

For each completed task, the mother receives a code. For example, the image of Thumbelina. In the end, mom will have, say, 5 cards.The organizers give her an alphabet card, her mother makes up a word for the place where the gift is hidden. For example: a balcony, a chest of drawers, a kitchen, etc. Mom goes there and finds her present.

The mini-quest can also be done at work. The participants are all office girls. Ideally, men should prepare the program on the topic of March 8.

• In front of the participants are photographs of famous women, movie stars, models, singers, etc.... It is necessary that the participants put a sheet of paper with the name of the woman from the collective who is most similar to this star in front of each photo. It's such a subtle compliment. Of course, the stars must be selected such that at least a formal resemblance is present. If it coincides with the original opinion of the organizers, the task is accepted. The girls receive one piece of a crystal slipper.

• Fieldword... In front of the participants is a map with word intersections. Among the many words, a proverb, the name of the film, etc. is encrypted. For example: “Moscow does not believe in tears” (a wonderful melodrama for women for all time) or “I'll think about it tomorrow” (the motto of Scarlett O'Hara). If the girl's enigma was determined in 2 minutes, they receive the second fragment of the shoe.

• Intellect relay race. Each participant is invited to start. She has only 1 minute, during which she answers the questions of the presenter. The more answers he has time to give, the better. All questions about women. For example: name the muse of Napoleon or name the main character of "Titanic", etc. The task is to collect at least 25 answers in 5-7 minutes (that is, 5-7 participants) in total. If there are more of them, then you can give 2 fragments of a shoe at once.

• Collect the puzzle. The girls are given a puzzle: a pre-cut picture. It could be some kind of abstract festive or real painting. Folding time is limited. And again for a successfully completed task - a fragment of a shoe.

• Quotes of the great and the very great. In front of the participants are pieces of paper with printed statements about women. The bottom line is that along with real quotes from Pushkin, Goethe, Shakespeare, there will be quotes from the company's employees. Men should be asked in advance to comment on the topic. Girls must determine who the quote belongs to: great (that is, a colleague) or very great (that is, a classic). If you guessed everything (which is rare), you can also give 2 fragments of a shoe at once.

• Envelope with a scattered confession. The girls receive an envelope with words in it. Ideally, if these words are on magnets, so that you can attach them to a special board. The task is to compose a coherent text from these words in 5 minutes. It can be a congratulatory quatrain, a chorus of a famous song, etc. But it brings the participants to the end of the quest. If everything is put together correctly, they receive the final piece of the crystal slipper.

• On the same magnetic board, girls have to make a shoe for a while. If everything succeeds (and needs to be done in order to succeed), a message is sent to the phone of one of the participants with the text: "Congratulations, the quest is completed, the treasure is outside the door." The participants open the door, and there they are waiting for gifts, congratulations.
