Overview of competitions and games for graduation
Every summer, graduation parties are held in schools - this is a beautiful and touching event for children who graduated from grades 9 and 11. It is very important to conduct it in such a way that all participants retain only the warmest and brightest memories. That is why special attention should be paid to the entertainment part of the program. In the article, we will provide a selection of fun entertainments for the competition program.
Entertainment at the table
Most often, modern teenagers celebrate graduation in cafes and restaurants, so for the graduates themselves, their parents and teachers, it is necessary to prepare several table entertainments.
For parents and teachers
Understand without words
Teams of children and their parents can take part in this game. Each of them should try to show a certain phrase with gestures, to understand it to others and “answer” in the same way. The result should be a dialogue. Here is a variant of the scenario.
- Parents try to show by signs: "What did you get today?"
- Children answer them: "Please do not swear, I got a pair."
- Parents: We told you that you need to prepare well, and not hang around the computer all day long! "
- Children: "I just forgot / forgot my notebook at home."
- Parents: "Have you forgotten / forgot your head at home?"
- Children: "But on the other hand, I have a solid A in physical education, I was even sent to city competitions."
The winner is the team that guessed the most phrases at once.
Quiz
During the feast, you can ask the teachers questions. There are no winners in this game, but witty and funny answers, no doubt, will cause a storm of positive emotions among the participants. Here's what you can ask educators.

Anyone who answers the questions asked correctly gets bonus points. The participant with the most points will be presented with commemorative prizes.
For graduates
Associations
This is one of the simplest and funniest graduation party games. The first player is asked what associations the school evokes in him, he thinks and quickly whispers the answer to the second player. The next child, in turn, whispers to the third the association with what he heard, and so on in a circle. The very last one reads his associative word aloud.
The task is to guess which word the very first player conceived.
Truth or lie
This is a very interesting game. Each student must tell a story that happened to him at school - it can be both real and fictional. The main task of the other participants is to determine whether the student is telling the truth or fantasizing. The victory is won by the one who can bring most of the storytellers to clean water.
Toast by letter
Participants are told some symbolic phrase, for example: "Goodbye, school." The presenter approaches the students and offers to say a toast to the letter from the proposed phrase in order. For example, D - let's drink to the director.
Of course, you have to get creative, but either way it will be a lot of fun.
Divination
This game will help children find out what awaits each of them in adulthood. To do this, all students draw out comic predictions. You can arrange them in different ways - hide them in cookies or nuts, or simply prepare homemade cards. The following texts can be taken as a basis.
- If you meet your soul mate, chemistry will come in handy.
- You will become very popular, not like during your school years.
- You will star in a famous TV series, maybe mentally.
- You will live away from your native places.
- I shouldn't have studied geometry - it will come in handy in life.
- Your children will also study at the same school.
- You will be an enviable bride or an enviable groom.
- Make important discoveries.
Home school
All participants of the event can take part in this competition. The facilitator asks a few questions.
- How old is the school you are graduating from?
- What is depicted on the third floor near the history office?
- How many steps are there on each flight of stairs?
- Which way does the door to the teacher's room open?
- What is the color of the eyes of the head teacher?
- How many windows are there in the gym?
- What color are the walls in the dining room?
- How many classrooms are there in the school?
The person who answers the most questions will receive a commemorative prize.
Guess from the photo
This competition will require prior preparation. It is necessary to ask the parents of graduates and teachers to bring their children's photos to the holiday. The winner will be the one who guesses the most of the people depicted.
By the way, prepared photos can be scanned in advance and then projected on the screen. It looks very beautiful, spectacular and, no doubt, fun.
Cool outdoor games
And, of course, what a holiday without outdoor games, most often it is musical and dance game programs. We offer an overview of the funniest and funniest contests for children and adults.
Dancing on the newspaper
Several pairs of girls and boys are invited to participate. A rhythmic melody is turned on - participants must dance on an unfolded piece of newspaper. Soon the task becomes a little more complicated - the sheet is folded in half, then four times, and so on.
Those couples who, during the dance, went beyond the limits of the paper, are eliminated from the further competition.
Different generations
During this game, the participants of the event are divided into two teams, one includes schoolchildren, the other brings together their parents and teachers. The task is simple - adults should depict how young people dance in discos these days, and children will have to demonstrate how older people relax to retro-style melodies. Music corresponding to the theme is turned on, a very funny dance battle comes out.
Dance geography
For lovers of geography, you can arrange a geographic dance marathon. Participants are divided into several teams of 5 people, during the competition they turn on the music of a particular nationality - children should dance, depicting their national characteristics. It can be lezginka, polka, hopak, gypsy, kalinka, hava nagila, rock and roll or lambada.
Even if you dance just one verse or the most famous excerpt, you get a battle for 15-25 minutes, the winner is chosen by the strength of the applause.
Diary
Not only dance competitions are of interest. The competition "Diary" or, as it is also called, "Correct the grade" is considered very fun. The participants are divided into two teams of 6 people, in front of each there is one diary. On each page of this diary, estimates are presented, among them there are 6 pages with deuces - these are the sheets that need to be torn out and destroyed.
Each participant in the relay runs up to the table in turn and leafs through the diary. As soon as he finds a page with an unsatisfactory mark, he immediately tears it out. Accordingly, there are 6 sheets for 6 participants. The one who corrects his marks faster will be declared the winner.
Hurray, graduation!
Another fun entertainment. It is held when everyone is tired of running and dancing, but they are also reluctant to return to the table. All students stand in a large circle and say in a clockwise direction: "Hurray, graduation." The trick is that these words should be pronounced with increasing intonation. That is, the first one speaks almost in a whisper, the second a little louder, and so on. The latter is already shouting these words out as best he can.
Become in order
This mobile fun is carried out when several classes of graduates take part in the party. The facilitator suggests that each class as quickly as possible build up in alphabetical order in accordance with how they were listed in the school journal. In this case, the leader must make sure that the graduates are lining up correctly.
How many coincidences with a cool magazine will turn out, the team gets so many points.
Interesting creative contests
School advertisement
The moderator divides the participants into three teams, each of them is given the task of advertising the school. However, the methods can vary. One team should make a live picture of the graduates, the second should come up with a motto, and the third should create creative shots against the background of the school poster. The best ad team is determined by audience reactions.
Make a graduate
All students are divided into two teams. Each is given balloons, cardboard, felt-tip pens, scotch tape, and scissors. From the balls, the guys have to build "the bodies of graduates", attach eyes, mouth and nose to it. The audience must decide for themselves which graduate is the most elegant. After that, everyone can arrange a small photo session with unusual guests of the holiday.
Draw the school year
This competition can be held both for graduates and for elementary school children celebrating the end of the school year. Pupils should draw on a large sheet of paper the highlights of their school time. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to have artistic ability - it is not the talent for drawing that is evaluated here.
The task of such a game is to help schoolchildren remember all the most interesting bright and funny events that happened to them within the walls of their native school.
Rebuilding game
This game is both intelligent and mobile at the same time. Graduates and representatives of the older generation should be invited to participate in it. For each team, a set of letters is prepared: for children, they take those that make up the word "graduate", for adults, symbols that are included in the combination of the words "good hour". Each participant is given one letter. The task of the team is to guess the leader's riddle and collect the answer from the letters, and as soon as a new riddle sounds, immediately rebuild and promptly write the next answer. The winner is the team that completes all tasks faster.
Here are some examples of riddles. For the word "graduate".
- It is difficult for everyone without the Internet, you are an adult or a student, you need a personal ... (nickname).
- You leave from behind a school desk, starts lead to adulthood. Waiting for you to rise and fall, pressing more boldly ... (start).
- This summer will be difficult, every student knows this is important. But know - the roads are open for you, good luck, class ... (graduation).
For the text "Good hour".
- Today we are releasing the best class, guys, the teacher is seeing off with tears ... (you).
- We passed all the exams, passed all the obstacles. We received a school certificate and therefore so ... (glad).
- Mom and Dad, don't be sad. Yours has become an adult ... (child).
- For the fact that you know how to reason sensibly, shout out to the teacher ... (bravo).
- Goodness and all the best, graduates, we love you very much. We wish you happiness, guys ... (good hour).
Dedication to students
Most of the children after leaving school continue their studies at universities. That is why the test for future students will be just right. The host of the evening offers the children several team tasks, they consist of several steps.
- Exam preparation. 3-5 m from the start, near the chair, lay out a stack of books, their number should correspond to the number of participants. Each player is given the task to quickly run to the chair, grab the top book, quickly flip through, then run around the chair, put the book next to the pile and return to his team. All players must repeat these steps.
- Session. For this task it is necessary to prepare 10-15 questions in advance. For example: "What fell on Newton's head?"
- Party after the session. Any competition can be inserted here, it can be a dance marathon or song entertainment.
The winners in each of the three competitions are solemnly announced by prospective students.
After graduating from school, children must choose their future profession. You can offer one or several game options in which they will try themselves in one quality or another.
If i become president
The theme of global plans can become the leitmotif of the entire prom. Why not let the guys feel like they are a candidate for the main post of the state? To do this, it is necessary to prepare an impromptu rostrum, graduates one by one go to it and conduct self-presentation for their electorate.
At the same time, it is desirable that among the "voters" there are well-known journalists who will ask extremely awkward questions. The future president is determined by secret ballot.
Future ecologist
Before the start of this competition, it is necessary to scatter crumpled paper throughout the hall, you can take ordinary newspaper sheets. Participants are given two minutes to collect as much garbage as possible and carefully put it in bags. After that, the weight of the "harvest" is looked at on the scales; whoever has collected the most - he becomes the winner.
Cheerful journalist
This competition usually involves imaginative alumni. The guys are divided into teams and given clippings from magazines and newspapers with various headlines and fragments of articles. Within 5 minutes, from all the proposed material, the guys should "blind" a meaningful and coherent text.
Moreover, the winner is announced not by the volume of what was invented, but by how well all the phrases have developed and acquired a new sound.
Preparing gifts for contests
And, of course, contests will be twice as fun if they are crowned with awards. It is best to entrust this entertainment to a teacher or class teacher. As prizes, you can use diplomas, commemorative figurines and other souvenirs; for greater effect, they can be supplemented with musical accompaniment. The key to success will be humor and creativity. It is very important to emphasize the individuality of each student, to distinguish among the rest of the children. The nomination should not be repeated, it is important to keep the intrigue. Let the graduates guess for themselves who they are talking about.
For example, you can take such nominations as "Coquette", "Miss Activity", "Heartbreaker of the class", "Mister non-punctuality" and the like.
A good end to the evening will be a collective collection of the school's photography puzzle. For this task, you need to print a snapshot of the building of an educational institution on thick paper and randomly cut it into small pieces, however, you should not be too small too. When the guys put together the picture, they stick it on thick cardboard and sign it. Such a gift will become a simple but very warm reminder for the school of its students.
To make the graduation fun, remain in the memory of the children and their parents, you can use several or even all of the listed contests. On their basis, you can compose a ready-made script for a festive event for children 16-18 years old.
