Peculiarities
Minecraft is one of the world's most popular computer games for children and adults.... The main task of the player is to create a universe of blocks. Surely, many parents are familiar with Lego constructors, from which children can assemble anything. Minecraft is the same, only in virtual space.
The entire Minecraft universe consists of a large number of bizarre blocks, they are everywhere - in the landscape, houses and household items, even the player himself also consists of them. The essence of the game boils down to the fact that the player is looking for useful things in the virtual space that will help him to complete tasks, create potions and weapons. At night, the hero hides from the monster in his refuge, and during the day he builds huge cities with a large number of administrative buildings and residential buildings.
Over time, people liked this game so much that many even began to arrange a wide variety of parties based on it. The topic is especially popular when organizing children's birthdays.
If you decide to prepare a Minecraft-themed holiday with your own hands, it is important to remember that the main component of each celebration is not the theme, but the fun... Of course, it will be difficult to please all guests without exception, but you can always try to get the most positive reaction. To do this, you need to pay special attention to the decor of the room, the preparation of food, and, of course, contests and other entertainments.
To get 100% into the style, it will be useful to get to know a computer game better. In the virtual space, you can find many interesting ideas that will be relevant at a children's birthday.
We decorate the room
Theme party you need to prepare in advance and you should start with the decor of the apartment or the place where the holiday will take place. To do this, you will need to prepare materials for creating stylish paraphernalia, think over in detail all the accessories so that, barely crossing the threshold of the festive hall, guests are immersed in the atmosphere of Minecraft. The main colors and shades of the game are green, black and brown, and it is from this that one should build on when thinking over the design of the room.
It is advisable to hang garlands in the most conspicuous place with the text "Happy birthday!" or "Minecraft Party". They must be made of squares and pixels in a green-brown palette.
Will look very impressive images of your favorite Minecraft heroes, pictures can be printed on a printer and pasted on the walls of the room. Do not be afraid to overdo it - the more such images there are, the more atmospheric the surroundings will turn out.
And, of course, you need to create your own Universe from square blocks. To build volumetric figures, you can use boxes made of thick cardboard or foam cubes - they can be used to make characters and some other elements of the game. In order for the figures to have the maximum resemblance to the heroes, they should not be monochrome, but pixelated, that is, they should consist of a large number of squares of various shades of green.
At a boy's birthday preference better to give to the brightest characters. Surely your child will be greatly delighted with the figure of the voluminous Enderman - this dark hero with purple eyes is very popular among children and adults. No less delight will be caused by the layout of the Creeper - a black and green villain.
If you are preparing a girly party, then special attention should be paid to animals and flowers... Most likely, the young princess will like cubic shrubs, fruit trees, and vegetable beds. Girls and boys are very fond of the animals from this game, rest assured - they will be happy to tinker with a square fox or lamb and take pictures with them.
Before designing characters from blocks, if possible, consult with your child. It is possible that your eight-year-old girl prefers to play Minecraft in hardcore mode and prefers Zombies and dynamite to any flowers.
In addition to volumetric figures, the necessary atmosphere will be created flat decorations. For their manufacture, you can use ordinary cardboard. All you have to do is just paint pixel pickaxes and swords.
Don't forget the balls. It is advisable to fill the room with green and black helium balloons. And in different corners of the room you can place square black spiders.
When preparing a candy bar, treats also need to be styled after Minecraft. Main courses include small diced bread, carrot sticks, pork chops, and fish fillets or chicken medallions. For sweets, make square crackers, pie, chocolate chip cookies. Be sure to invite the children to feast on watermelon and apples - they are so loved by the heroes of the computer universe.
Desserts are best served in a non-standard form. For example, spreading out three pieces of marmalade sticks and tying them with a ribbon signed with TNT, you can turn them into dynamite. Place a topper with the inscription "charcoal" next to the slices of chocolate and raisins, and let the green marmalade adorn the sign "emeralds".Sweets in silver and golden wrappers, respectively, will be silver and gold.
Drinks can be anything from soda, lemonade, or juice. The main thing is that they are green or red. It is better to buy square glasses, but you can use the most common plastic ones. Be sure to glue the original labels on them, for example:
- "invisibility potion";
- "Potion of strength";
- "Jumping potion";
- "Good luck potion";
- "antidote".
The cake should be made to order. An image of a black and green Creeper or a square treat with a pixel pattern looks very impressive.
Invitations
A theme party is impossible without appropriate invitations. To invite your friends to a Minecraft-style holiday, you can use ready-made templates - there is a huge selection on the Internet. The most important thing is that they are square, with blurry pixels as the main background.
Postcards can be printed. After that, all that remains is to sign the name of the guest, indicate the time, date and place of the event.
Choice of clothes
It is advisable to warn the parents of the party participants in advance about the theme of the holiday so that the children come dressed in appropriate outfits. - boys can wear a Creeper or Enderman costume, and girls can dress up as witches. Or you can just ask the parents to dress their children in brown, black or green T-shirts.
If you wish, you can turn the creation of an outfit into one of the entertainment of the holiday - this will make it even brighter, more fun and memorable. Ask the guys to make a Minecraft-style suit from scrap materials - ordinary cardboard boxes with colorful cubes glued to them will do.
Alternatively, consider making a themed T-shirt. To do this, you need to buy the required number of green T-shirts in advance and prepare stencils with squares cut out on them. Guests can apply black acrylic paint over the template, remove the stencils and leave the pattern to dry. After only 30-40 minutes, each participant will receive a memorable stylish T-shirt.
Entertainment
Nowadays, almost every agency providing services for organizing children's parties offers scenarios in the subject of Minecraft. But if you intend to conduct all the competitions on your own, then here are some original ideas for you.
Resource search
The main task of any player in the Minecraft Universe is to find useful things that may come in handy in the further game. That's why you can start the celebration with a warm-up quest. To do this, in the secluded corners of the apartment, you need to lay out small matchboxes, pasted over with colored paper, or painted cardboard squares - these will be the so-called resources. Let the guys look for treasures on their own, and then exchange them for a sword.
You can also prepare tasks for the guys that will allow them to get a new game tool. For example, offer them some sticks and pieces of wood - the guys have to lay them out in a certain way in order to get a pickaxe.
Battle
After all the children have been handed weapons, they will be able to arrange a real battle with each other. It is best to use water pumps for this - their cost in stores is low. They are elastic and soft, which means that none of the young guests are injured.
Let the children fight inside the drawn circle, the loser will be the one who first crosses its borders.
Create your own character
Children are very fond of creating their own computer characters and changing their appearance. That is why you need to give them a similar opportunity for their birthday. Cut out images of creatures and animals from white paper in advance, line them into squares, and then give each guest a template and markers. The guys will be able to relax a little and at the same time draw the character they see in their imaginations.
Defeat the Creeper
All children love to be naughty, so they will love the game where they have to defeat the main villain of Minecraft. Attach the image of the Creeper to a solid base, give the participants pieces of paper - have them crumple balls out of them, and then try to hit the evil monster with these balls. The winner is the player who hits the target more often than others.
Tall tower
Every gamer has built a black tower from blocks in the game at least once. Such a game can be played at home - for this you need to invite children to split into several teams, let them each try to build the tallest matchbox structure.
Portal to the End
In order to find yourself in the location of the Universe, you will need to prepare a portal. In Minecraft, players need to get Fire Powder for this. In ordinary life, it can be obtained for any completed task, for example, for the correct answer to a riddle.
Battle with the Ender Dragon
At the end of the evening, it is imperative to carry out a fight with the Dragon. This is the most dangerous and at the same time the most powerful character in a computer game. You will have to draw the figure of a dragon on a piece of paper in advance, and draw 10 hearts next to it, which will represent the scale of the monster's life. After completing the task, you need to cross out one heart at a time until they are completely finished.
Tasks can be issued in the form of forfeits, the party participants will take turns taking them out of the basket or any other container. Tasks can be very different depending on the age and interests of the players - tell a poem, say a compliment, sing a song.
A piñata will be the perfect end to the evening. By breaking it, guests can receive sweets and small prizes. It's very easy to make a piñata for Minecraft. You will need a regular box covered with green paper.
And if you can print stylish templates of pictures with pixels in advance, then getting into the Minecraft atmosphere will be one hundred percent.
