Topic: New Year's Eve / Scenarios for corporate events
Good afternoon, Dear friends! How nice it is to see you today so beautiful, elegant, smiling and cheerful! But please explain to me why you are so happy? Ah, that's it! New Year! Do you even know what this is? So we'll see now. The New Year auction is announced.
So, through our joint efforts we found out that the New Year is…. But for some reason all this is not observed in our hall. Some strange newspapers on the walls - “Renovations are underway”... Strange... But maybe this envelope (an envelope with a letter) will clarify the situation for us. We received it this morning in the mail. Let's print it out. (The letter is read out).
Well, I think you understand everything. Any questions? To take part in a Hawaiian party, you need to look the part. Wait a second... (I bring a bag of things for the Hawaiian party). Here are your things, take them apart and dress up... (the melody of I Like To Movie It plays)
And now, let's wish each other Bon Voyage, but always in Hawaiian. I say to you: "Aloha, dood!" - and you answer: “Yes, kaine, bra!” Get ready...
Great! So, are you ready??? Then, in order to be transported to Hawaii, you need to close your eyes and not open them until I say so. (The Pink Panther) (Change of scenery)
Welcome to Hawaii! (Hawaiian Music) (Hawaiian Dance)
Good evening, good hour!
I salute you all!
Very good, salaam alaikum,
Bona sir, you're welcome!
More bonjour, shalom and ciao,
Buenas diaz, sveiki, hello!
Gomarjoba, buna, yeti,
Namaste, aloha, terwist.
We are pleased to welcome you to the Hawaiian party. Surely you have already become familiar with the rules. I’ll say a few more words: now I’ll give you 9 sheets of paper with the expected number of the ball with the key phrase. At our holiday today, the “-1” rule applies. This means that after each competition you will receive a paper with the number of the ball in which the phrase is not exactly located, that is, the chances will increase. Do I need to explain anything else? (No). Very good. Then I announce Hawaiian party, dedicated to the open New Year's Eve! Hooray! (song "Malinka" sounds)
First competition. I put the prize on the chair. The competition participants are located around the chair, i.e. You. I'll ask you to stand up. I'm reading a poem. Those who try to grab the prize at the wrong time are eliminated from the competition. As the poem progresses, you will understand the rules.
I'll tell you a story
Fifteen times.
As soon as I say the word "three" -
Take the prize immediately!
One day we caught a pike
Gutted, and inside
We counted small fish -
And not just one, but TWO.
A seasoned boy dreams
Become an Olympic champion
Look, don’t be cunning at the start,
And wait for the command one, two, SEVEN.
When you want to memorize poems,
Don't cram them until late at night,
And repeat them to yourself
Once, twice, or better yet FIVE!
Recently a train at the station
I had to wait THREE hours.
But why didn’t you take the prize, friends?
When was the opportunity to take it?
Now you are prompted to "open" new planet. We need to inflate it as quickly as possible Balloons, and then “populate” this planet with inhabitants - quickly draw human figures on the ball with felt-tip pens. Whoever has more “inhabitants” on the planet is the winner! (Buttons Remix)
Somehow it seems to me that you are already tired of sitting. We need to move. And the next competition will help us with this. It's called tangerines. You probably think that now you will just need to move the tangerines from one end of the room to the other without using your hands. But no! We've made it more difficult. One participant comes out, I turn on the music, and you must move all the tangerines to the music, dancing beautifully. You need to move to the music. For example, if I turn on a waltz, you dance a waltz, if I turn on a tango, you dance a tango.
Snow Maiden's favorite treat is ice cream - so a competition is being announced to name the ice cream. You take turns naming the varieties of ice cream. Whoever thinks for more than five seconds loses.
In order to take part in the next competition, you need to stand up. I give everyone one balloon, which you tie to your left leg. On my command you try right foot crush the enemy's ball. The winner is the one who bursts the opponent's balloon with his foot faster. (Potential Breakup Song)
I suggest taking a break. Treats have been prepared for you. (Bring food) (Apologize)
The next competition is called a chain. Here you see, there are paper clips. You need to make a chain using paper clips. Whose chain is longer wins the competition.
This hat contains small pieces of paper with one word written on it. Each of you takes turns taking notes out of the hat and singing a song - necessarily a New Year's or winter song, in which the word written on its leaf appears.
This is what New Year's holiday is like - noisy, cheerful, but there is always a lot of garbage left behind. As you may have already noticed, there is a lot of garbage scattered on the floor. But we can’t celebrate the New Year with garbage! Therefore, it is necessary to clean up. I'm giving it to you plastic bottles. And you need to collect the weight of this garbage into bottles as quickly as possible. (Siniy Siniy Ticket)
Song Jingle Bells (Jingle Bells) Well, evening has come in Hawaii - magical time when you can make wishes and they will definitely come true... Now I will tell you when the New Year begins in different countries peace... (see the application “New Year by the hour”) (Drink Up Me Heartless Yo Ho)
It turns out that the New Year in Hawaii will not begin until tomorrow, so we need to return home. The competitions are over and you should only have one piece of paper with the ball number left. And you need to find this ball. Get started. Congratulations, you have found the ball with the key phrase. We need to burst it.
What is written here? Yeah, not in Russian. Look, (point to a piece of paper with the inscription “Happy New Year” in Hawaiian) this is “Happy New Year” in Hawaiian. I give you a paper airplane. You must write this phrase on it and release it through the window. Let's! Now, as the letter sent to us says, everything should return to its place. To do this, I suggest you change clothes (I bring a bag with things for the New Year) (Give It Up To Me) and close your eyes for a few minutes. I'll tell you when it will be possible to open them. (Spybreak) (Change of scenery)
