The February meetings of graduates have long been a good tradition for many adults. They are especially pleasant, because they are a kind of excursion in childhood - the happiest time in a person's life. So nice to see the establishment again, giving a ticket to life, chat with classmates - a special cohort of people with whom the common childhood is united, common impressions.

An old tradition of graduates

This is one of those traditions that are commonly generally accepted. To really awakened memories, and the annoying chance did not overthrow the impression of the holiday, of course, a meeting of classmates should be planned in advance. The basic scenario of this action for classmates (from 5 to 20 years later) will be the subject of this article. We also pay attention to the features of the scenarios of the graduates of senior age groups (20, 35, 40 years after release.)

First stage: Planning

What is the meeting of classmates begins? With a preliminary (2-3 month) discussion in the narrow circle of graduates who decided to become an initiative group, which will be planned to meet classmates. The future action scenario must be selected from possible options:

• initially, a meeting in the school walls is simply in a close circle;
• participation in the organization of a graduate day on school scale or only for its class (parallel classes);
• place of the informal part of the festival;
• opportunities for transport and office equipment.

If the initiators come to an agreement on the choice of the option, they proceed to a second fundamentally important stage of training - call or in a different method of notifying classmates.

OVERVON. Correction of the initiative group. Choosing a lead

Sometimes it is not at all a simple thing - to find and notify them! After all, many live in other cities, and some even abroad. As the experience, who left for permanent residence, often have a desire and the ability to fly. However, they need to inform them in advance so that they plan their vacation.

Communicatives are reported to interlocutors, as where is the meeting of classmates. The script is communicated in general. In conversation, it is important to initiate the next stage of alert (maybe your interlocutor knows the missing contact information on some classmate).
In the process of the call, the composition of the initiative group of the holiday is adjusted.

It is desirable to appoint the next meeting of the initiative group a month before the graduate day, i.e. immediately after the Christmas holidays.

From a variety of options for this holiday, the initiative group chooses the optimal one. Most often, the choice stops at minimalism - in the form of an evening in a cafe for classmates, there is usually a meeting of graduates.

The scenario in its initial stage suggests:

• Preliminary meeting with the class teacher and (or) with a favorite teacher. Invitation to their official part of the holiday.
• Buy bouquets teachers.
• Collecting school comrades directly in the native school 15-20 minutes before the start of the celebration.

Communication planning. The role of the lead

It is most important in the second meeting to outline the structure of future communication, gracefully grouped by classmates for work, hobby, and also thinking how the word will move from one to another person. For example, a conversation about the children-students may be such a "adapter" if there is a meeting of classmates 20 years later. The scenario of the unofficial part is possible to plan as thematic, for example, the disco of the 80s, 90s, barbecue party, etc.

The holiday itself suggests the presence of a lead. To whom, like not classmates, know who exactly appoints to this role. But if old friends are going, it is logical to choose one of them. It is he who will implement a script. However, support and playback from the side of one-handmen is provided in advance. We also prefer the description of the amateur scenario in this article, which is planning and conducting classmates themselves.

Designation of critical issues

Our recommendation: At the second meeting of the initiative group, make detailed planning. In particular, in the team of like-minded people, it is planned to meet classmates 20 years later. The script of the thematic evening, in our opinion, suggests some "taboo" to communicate with classmates. Meaning the "Forbidden" themes (loss of a person of a loved one, seriously experienced divorce, severe illness).

Why should they discuss and designate in advance? It is important to exclude the possibility of the possibility that a person who has come to celebrate is inadvertently upset by a direct and difficult issue.

About the preparation of the holiday estimate

It is important to correctly calculate the estimate of the celebration. In any case, it will appear a specific group of expenses. The scenario of the evening of the meeting of classmates necessarily implies the purchase of colors to teachers (usually to the class teacher, a favorite teacher) and a cafe rental fee.

However, a more creative approach (assuming the presentation of souvenirs for victory in contests, the manufacture of photos, design of the room) will entail costs additional.

Conducted estimates are desirable to optimize the volunteer labor of classmates-volunteers. Naturally, it should be proceeded with their complete agreement.

For example, the scenario of the meeting of classmates 30 years later, with its creative planning, implies the appointment of those responsible for:

• collecting money on the estimate;
• photographing;
• a selection of school photographic materials;
• holding contests;
• making humorous gifts, graduates and beloved teacher.

Agree, in this case the preparation really requires advanced labor costs. But but the effect is completely different! After all, one thing, when a meeting of classmates (a script of 30 years later) will be limited to, for example, a statement of the absence of a person for a valid reason. And the Other when right in the cafe (as a magic wand manifold) will be a PC with a mobile Wi-Fi-router and a running Skype program, with which friends will communicate with it. Naturally, an agreement with this person about the connection to communicate must be initiated in advance.

On the choice of cafes

Important criteria for choosing a cafe are: a delicious menu, democratic tariffs, a pleasant atmosphere, positive feedback from colleagues and comrades who have already dispersed the kitchen.

Under the scenario of meeting classmates in the cafe, it is desirable to pick up in advance the corresponding occasion. Ideally, that there is good sound insulation, and the low frequencies of the disco-disconnecting dance floor did not interfere with the scenario, nor the communication of old friends. However, the opportunity to visit the dance floor must be provided.

Brief accession and first toast

The master thanks those present for the preserved team spirit of the graduation class. Briefly informs about missing (those who failed to notice and who have good reasons to be absent). He welcomes the teachers present and begins to implement the intended script.

A meeting of classmates, of course, suggests feast and toasts. However, almost any plan of this action provides for the first toast for the meeting. Moreover, it confirms almost any scenario of the meeting of classmates: 20 years, 30, 40. In this case, age is insignificant. It is important to prevent him solemnly, find warm, friendly words touching the soul.

Second toast

The second toast must necessarily be dedicated to the teacher (or teachers) present at the festival. Usually in this role is the class teacher and (or) the favorite teacher. However, give the word and entrust the toast teacher should be artistic.

Alternatively, the teacher is solemnly a comic diploma. It makes sure that he passed the full course and possesses skills:

• understanding children's views (evaluation - "excellent");
• incut the learner reasonable, kind, eternal (evaluation - "excellent");
• do not hear when they are prompted, and not to notice the cribs (evaluation - "good");
• sense of humor (evaluation - "excellent");
• the development of talents (evaluation - "excellent").

This diploma is awarded along with a memorable gift. Rises toast "For teachers, for engineers of human souls."

Further, as Professional Tamada would do, the attention of those present is focused on the generality of those present. As an option, a meeting of classmates is decorated as follow-up humorous statistics. Cool script becomes more fun not only thanks to this. In parallel (to enhance the effect), a slideshow from school photos can be launched on the monitor or screen. Let us give an example of such a mentioned statistic.

Cheerful school statistics. Option of the Third Town "For Childhood"

"When we came to the first class, we were weighed 1275 kg. For the period of study, we in the school buffet eaten 48,000 buns, 35,000 cortiers and 25,000 sour cream. At the same time recovered by 1700 kg and grown 30.2 m. Our behavior in school can be called almost approximate. However, we still managed to break 3 window windows, 2 day lighting flashers, 7 plates and 8 glasses in the school canteen. In our assets 37 kilometers of paper and 2800 bodies. During their studies, we mastered the initial stage of art writing cribs. Thus, this toast is simple: "For the past wonderful childhood!" "

Obviously, not only toasts yes, the entourage cafe is adorn the amateur scenario (meeting classmates). Summer version of the graduate day (by agreement, some schools celebrate it in June) is noted, as a rule, in nature in the form of a barbecue party.

However, in any case, it makes sense to decorate this holiday with contests and dance fragments. Contests and other game communications techniques are welcome. Consider examples of some of them.

Example of the competition: guessing mysteries

However, it is required to clarify the essence of contests for various age groups of graduates. After all, it is essential. For example, the scenario of the meeting of classmates, 20 years ago who graduated from school, involves a meeting of people actively engaged in professional activities that implement their creative potential. For them, you need a more dynamic entertainment of the evening.

It may be thematic "school" riddles, phantas interrupted by dance pauses. Imagine an exemplary list of such mysteries:

• Who can be called the president of the school? (Director.)
• Plane available in class. (Board.)
• What do teachers expect all year? (Vacation.)
• School signal. (Call.)
• What is the name of the flat globe? (Map.)
• Who is the younger than all in your class?
• Who became the first grandmother (grandfather)?
• What school "five" for you is the most expensive?
• Your most favorite lesson.

Improvised interview

To revive the atmosphere, leading, imitating reporters, takes an improvised interview with a group of classmates on the topic, which prank during school studies, according to everyone, turned out to be the brightest. The main question is hidden under the mass of additional:

• Where do you think childhood leaves?
• How often have you run from lessons?
• Did you make marks in the diary?
• What subject of learning is the harder all?
• Who could have been written off?
• Is the idea of \u200b\u200bburning a class magazine?

Features of the celebration for graduates of senior age groups

The scenario of the meeting of classmates 35 years later gathers peers of pre-age. Their children have already grown, behind - professional vertices. Life is ordered and goes on the rolled rut ...

An ideal for the lead will be his ability to revive, stir such a contingent. Starting an informal meeting, you should immediately "take a bull for the horns." Alternatively, we can offer to make "home billets" - brief humorous characteristics of those present. They should be swoing, mentioning funny episodes from school life, successes. The main thing is that it sounded briefly and mischievously.

In the meeting program for age groups of graduates, greater emphasis is done on logical, intellectual competitions. Dance pauses are a bit, they consist of several slow dances.

Meeting classmates 40 years later

It is no secret that most of its pensioners gathers an anniversary meeting of classmates 40 years later. The scenario of this action has differences from those mentioned above. The main stress is made directly for communication.

A good tone for the lead in this case will be the organization of a peculiar lesson of memories. Those present graduates between infrequent testes lead a dimensional conversation about themselves and the absent classmates. Mention news, phone numbers, addresses, availability and nicknames in social networks.

As a result, it turns out a large and motley fabric of the limit ... At this age, unfortunately, it happens that the diseases affect the health of individual graduates. Wonderful if they get the opportunity to communicate with those present at the bottom of the graduate by Skype. The implementation of such an opportunity is an additional bonus of the initiative group, which organizes a meeting of classmates (40 years). The remote bond script requires a portable PC, a mobile Wi-Fi-router, a preliminary test connection with the addressee, a clear synchronization of communication time and an additional (corrective) communication channel (for example, the phone).

Exceptionally rare graduate meetings: 50 years later

Continuing the topic affected, we note that the scenario of the meeting of classmates 50 years later in practice is much less common. After all, the contingent found - pensioners with experience. Their estimated age is 68-69 years. In connection with the foregoing, it will be not worth mentioning that the current average life expectancy in Russia for women is 72 years old, and for men - 58 years.

However, since theoretically, such a meeting can be appointed, we will list its characteristic features:

• relatively small circle of invited;
• removed from the dance floor and isolated from sound accompaniment;
• advanced to tastes and contraindications of the menu;
• better if the start program will slowly ask an experienced invited presenter;
• the program itself is like a meeting of classmates 40 years later, its main style - conversation;
• according to the agreement with the initiative group of graduates, the presenter corrected the passage of the script.

Instead of imprisonment

The holiday of classmates for all ages is valuable for many reasons. He inspires people. After all, they are found in most cases with like-minded people. The main attractive feature of such meetings is genuine benevolence, lack of competitive relationships.

Attending them, you begin to understand the justice of words, which are what is the more around happy people, the lucky you yourself. That is why we highly recommend that all reading this article must also plan anniversary meetings in advance with their one-shirts. And even if 50 years have passed, it is better to strain and learn invaluable joyful emotions ... it is worth it.
