Congratulations on the evening of the meeting. Toasts and table jokes for meeting classmates

Years run, we are older every year.
But how long will I not live,
As soon as I find myself under the bright school vault,
I will remember everything at once: childhood, youth and spring.
So many different people communicate
How many more will be on the network
Someone is already dating someone
Someone wants to find me
This school call from the past
Moved my soul to tears
We had a good time
And I can’t believe that it’s serious

I was waiting for the kids at their desks
And now we are friends and comrades
Classmates dot ru ...
All expectations are met
There is no limit to surprise
My friend lives in Germany
Recognizable from hundreds of faces
And the girl from the next street
With a golden braid to the toes
In the stands now flaunts -
State deputy
I remember a school bell from the past
Like I watched a movie
All the good things come to mind
What was not so long ago
This school bell is still yesterday
I was waiting for the kids at their desks
And now we are friends and comrades
Classmates dot ru

School is like a bouquet of flowers,
Waiting for the meeting hour.
So let it be for many years
We will remember this evening.
In a few minutes
The stage will be illuminated with light.
This evening, everyone is waiting for us
The school hall is invariable.

We cherish traditions.
Graduation Day today,
And we are talking about you.
A flurry of applause awaits you,
Congratulations, compliments-
Evening of meetings!

Let's look at each other, brothers!
How many years have passed since then
How could we all get together
For the last school camp?
You are probably surprised:
We are all over forty
But they haven't changed a bit
Only slightly recovered:
So why be sad about the past?
I propose to drink today
To everyone for what is impossible
Forget the school years!

How inexorable is time, fleeting
Suddenly they understood when they came to the evening of the meeting.
Teachers, once upon a time, in our childhood, young,
They met us again at the entrance, but already gray-haired.
The same gleam in the eyes, the same tone, -
We seem to be in a lesson again, gaining knowledge.
Teachers! Bow to the earth from all students!
Let with a delay, we express our recognition to you!

Always a little exciting
Come to a meeting with the past.
What if you can't recognize the Earring
And talk to him.
What if we have changed a lot,
Can't find the words?
And from such excitement
Suddenly dizzy
Will treacherously protect the heart
And it will become hard to breathe ...
And the sign hangs on the door
That release is already 25!
Although why are they worried!
We have something for everyone to chat about,
We stayed young in soul
Although not 25 anymore.
We all have children, even grandchildren,
And there are many different achievements!
And every path will now tell
How many wonderful deeds there were!
Let's on this wonderful evening
We will raise a glass for a meeting,
And the whole company is big
Let's rest our souls!

Amid the bustle of endless everyday life,
In the midst of important matters and petty troubles
Return to the world of reckless youth
Gives a chance to our school meeting night.
Come to school - school is waiting!

Let us open our feast with a reminder:
if we get lost at the table, meet under it!

Classmates today
We joyfully meet
You have to drink for this!
We don't mind!
The years go by quickly
But we don't count them
You have to drink for this,
We don't mind!
We haven't seen each other for a long time
But we all remember, we know
You have to drink for this,
We don't mind!
They reached many heights,
But let's not forget the class.
You have to drink for this,
We don't mind!
Beloved teachers
We remember often.
You have to drink for this,
We don't mind!
For our strong friendship
We get up and pour
You have to drink for this,
We don't mind!

Today the reason is just class!
Good meeting with you.
…. years have passed by you,
How you left school!
Throwing you all the roads:
Who is a seamstress, who is a teacher.
Someone in business
Who where!
Well, let's raise it, gentlemen!
For this warm evening
For this miracle-meeting!

Please put aside the spoons!
I want to ask you:
Answer me, yes, faster,
How many guys were there in the class?
You have not forgotten, friends,
What was the name of the teacher of the Russian language?
Which of you sitting here
All the same graduated from the institute?
Let's remember about love affairs,
Which of you had your first wedding?
And you probably haven't forgotten
How did you study and were friends?
And now I ask you to give a detailed answer,
How did you live ... .. (10,20,30) ... .. years?

Teachers:

In the life of each of us
It was the first step and the first class,
Lessons in a motley sequence,
And the first waltz, and graduation ...
How carefree we all lived
How funny we were! -
Fooling around at recess
They wrote graffiti on the walls.
Now, of course, we are different,
Solid and businesslike,
But everything that we know and can do
Of course we have from you!
We were not always obedient
It even happened that they were stubborn
But you for your kindness
They were often compared to my mother.
After all, you have always understood us,
Sometimes forgetting about the family
They gave a piece of heart
Forgiving us for all the pranks.
Thank you for everything, family,
For teaching us.
And let the children be different
Of course they also love you!

February is coming (. Or the month of your meeting) - the time of joyful meetings,
Helping to preserve the memory of our youth.
After all, together they once did not only study,
But we often walked and had fun.
Remembering the curiosities, we will laugh out loud.
We don't need to be afraid of the director anymore!
We grow up, we grow wiser, of course, not in vain
Favorite teachers tried.
Let's go for school, for us and our class
We will certainly raise a toast now!

Today is an evening of meeting at our school.
The hubbub in the corridor will not subside for a long time.
From different corners will rush here
See teachers and friends
Those who have long been no longer children
Who left these walls many years ago.

Only once a year can we meet
Chat again under the school roof.
We will enter our former class. Everything is native here,
Familiar and yet ... so distant.
All the same board, desks by the window. But my ...
We will sit for a while.

We will remember our golden childhood ...
How they went to school and from school in a crowd ...
Riding down the mountain on an old briefcase
And the films "under 16" that we watched in the club ...

We will remember how worried we passed the exams,
And how they helped each other out with one cheat sheet ...
We will remember how stealthily, until we were seen,
We wrote the names under the table top.

(What names have not gathered here.
Here are ours, look! They are not lost!)

Hello, hello, evening of meetings!
We cherish traditions.
Graduation Day today,
And we are talking about you.
A flurry of applause awaits you,
Congratulations, compliments-
Evening of meetings!

Why do alumni meet?
Nostalgia or melancholy?
Whom do they want to see and why?
What do they want to talk about and with whom?
Someone in this life was lucky:
Even though it was late, he was recognized.
And someone hides an unlucky gaze:
All talk is useless nonsense for him.
Someone managed not to lose their appearance -
It is pleasant to shine among classmates.
Someone has nothing to say, not life is a shame.
Why lead an empty conversation about it.
We were all young thirty years ago.
In our eyes then the excitement of fate shone.
It seemed that everyone could conquer mountains
And fast rivers can be safely crossed ...
But everyone is rewarded with their own destiny.
Perhaps there is nothing to brag about him to you.
Not everyone came to the school meeting,
Perhaps they did not find the strength in themselves for this

Look back for a moment ...
And what is behind us?
There swallows twine
Over the old school wall.

There are childish quarrels
The happiest days are a succession
There are clear eyes -
Nobody will let you in there.
We are all beautiful there
As seen from the present years,
But we are all out of control

Days go by, years go by
Forgotten past hardships.
Years have passed, we have matured
They even got a little wiser.

Our meetings are warmly warmed -
Everyone is welcome here, our evening has come.
We will tell everything that happened to us,
So that my heart aches a little.

I want to tell you, dear ones:
I wish you success and strong strength!
Congratulations on a wonderful day
And every year we expect it again.

“Do you remember your school days?
And our dear, favorite class? "
We are graduates for so many years,
And we have gathered just now!

I wish everyone some fun
Remember the old days
And enjoy nostalgia,
After all, we have only one memory!

Let us for this meeting
Now we'll all drink a little,
For this warm, bright evening,
For times that cannot be returned!

Years passed and we got together
On the day of the meeting of all graduates,
Who lost weight and who added
But that's a trifle.

After all, everyone is happy to see each other,
We have something to talk about,
Although our age is already solid,
Laughter with screams flowing like a stream!

And we will sit like this until the morning,
After all, we will not see each other for a year,
Everyone has their own problems
But may we all always be lucky!

We are together again today
Like many years ago.
Our class was friendly and cheerful,
There is something to remember - it's a fact!

Today all my way
In the life of an adult they have already found
But how often do we have little
I want to become children again!

I would very much, friends, I would like
Over and over, through the years,
To see us all together again.
Our friendship is forever!

May this our meeting be bright:
Cheerful, light, fresh as the dawn;
Cozy, like a warm, gentle evening;
Sincere, like a friendly hello.

We gathered for the evening of the meeting.
What happiness for all of us!
Boys, you straighten your shoulders
I'll take a closer look at the class!

What all the girls have become -
Pretty women, as if on selection.
And they were once modest,
Barely stepping into the schoolyard,

Now all adults, of course,
Everyone has their own big life.
So be happy, successful.
Thank you all for coming!

Our long-awaited meeting
We got together not for the first time
And we have one task
Remember our naughty class.

Who studied for fives,
Someone just didn't go
Someone was hiding behind curtains
In general, he did a good job.

Everyone was especially dear
No confessions and no names.
We were friends without a showdown -
Who's stupid or smart.

Learned fun together
Knowing everything around.
Growing up, we parted,
Forgetting about the past.

Let's wish each other
Don't forget your glorious class.
Thank you all for the service,
For the meeting that tied us together.

A meeting! My favorite class!
There is no more desirable holiday.
I will finally see you
Brothers classmates!

I wish I could bring everything back
Learn at school!
Oh how great to see
Relatives again.

Not scared for a year
Us, no distance
Forever after all, life gave
Memories to us!

We will never forget
Our years together.
We keep hundreds in our hearts
Wonderful school days!

Years have passed, and we all remember clearly,
As if they went to school yesterday
Played classics and cried for a deuce
And how they circled in a dance until the morning,
Wiping a new heel in his shoes.
Years have passed, someone will sit at their desks,
It is a pity that we could not get the whole class together.
The teacher will look at us all with kindness,
He will not scold us today.
We will open the notebooks that were stored,
Let's take a glimpse of the essay,
Some dreams came true from him,
And we have something left for later.
Let us be sad, cry, laugh somewhere,
Let's hug dear teachers
Well, then, we'll come back
To the world where we teach our children.

Hooray, we're finally here
Even a trace of sorrow is gone!
Now we'll start talking
How they lived for so many years!

How joyful it is to see everyone
The mood instantly became bright!
May this day bring laughter
Smiles, jokes and fun!

Scripts for the evening of the meeting of the graduates. Gift and congratulation ideas for teachers and principal.

The alumni meeting is a small but very joyful celebration. After all, I really want to talk with my former classmates, to find out how life turned out. I also want to talk to my teachers.

How to arrange an alumni meeting? Alumni evening concert

The evening usually has two parts. The first is official. She arranges herself as a concert. This is the so-called meeting of the past and the future. Graduates communicate with students, share their experience. Then the teaching staff congratulates on the anniversary of graduation. Further, teachers and former students communicate with each other, talk about their life and achievements.

It is rarely allowed to hold celebrations with drinks within the school walls, so you will have to look for a place where you can continue the evening. It is best to start organizing the celebration in advance. Book a restaurant by phoning in advance with those who will definitely come to the meeting.

Graduation meeting invitation, text

You can find out the addresses and phone numbers of your former classmates and call them. But the most original thing is to send a written invitation in poetic form. Of course, be sure to write the postcards first that the graduate is invited to the alumni meeting. Enter the time and date of the party. Next, you can write a verse:

Everything that was sweet to my heart
Reborn with renewed vigor.
Well, what upset,
It will certainly make you laugh.
What is not said - we will tell you
What is not connected, then we will connect,
What has fallen is not lost
We invite you from the bottom of our hearts!
There will be dancing until you drop
Charts, speeches - everything is as it should be.
Let's sing and have fun
Kiss the teachers
We are again at the crossroads -
Clumsy teenagers.
We are again, as before, youth
Waiting at the door.

School alumni meeting script

It is necessary that the evening was not boring. To do this, it must be diluted with games, contests and scenes.

Sample graduation script:

Host 1: “Hello, our graduates. Today the school door has opened in front of you again, and you can hear the bell. How nice to remember with nostalgia about school time, about classmates and little pranks "
Moderator 2: “Yes, school is not only classes and strict teachers, it is also an opportunity to have fun. Let's remember how it was. " Children are invited to the stage, who dance or sing a song about school. It is desirable to make the number humorous and funny.
Moderator 1: “For many of you, the knowledge gained at school was very useful. Let's try to check if you have a good memory of school subjects and basic rules. " A competition for erudition is being held. You can ask very simple questions. For example, who is Newton's co-author (Apple), or who was eaten by the Aborigines (Cook)
Host 2: “Unfortunately, many of you no longer remember all the teachers, someone is already on vacation in retirement. Let's remember and ask the teaching staff to go on stage. " Teachers come out and congratulate graduates
Host 1: “It's great that the school is always young, because every year first-graders are brought here. Soon you will bring your little ones. Let's remember what the first call was for you. " First graders are invited with a call. Children dance fun to the music
Host 2: “It's nice to see the energy and insecurity of the kids. Let's try to return to childhood. " A drawing competition is being held. The evening ends with congratulations. All graduates go to classes to communicate with the class teacher. Next, graduates go to a restaurant

School songs for the evening of the meeting of the graduates. Song to teachers at the alumni meeting

Usually this evening they remember their school years with nostalgia, so both new and old songs are appropriate. The always popular song "They teach at school", "Antoshka", "Suddenly, like in a fairy tale, the door creaked", "The beautiful is far away." Many modern songs are being reworked for the school theme.

VIDEO: Homecoming evening song

Chastooshkas for a meeting of graduates

Of course, it is very boring to sit in the hall and watch an uninteresting concert program. Therefore, it is advisable to diversify the evening with children's performances, songs, dances, contests and ditties. These funny songs will cheer up the guests of the school.

We're laughing friends
We have fun at school!
"Old men" have their ditties
We'll sing tonight!
So that you sing, have fun,
And they clapped their hands.
After all, it's not for nothing that there are more pounds
We ate the salt together.
You are all cool
They were famous for many at school.
But when they came for the first time, -
They hid behind portfolios.
The years flew by quickly
School days with them.
Did not have time to look back, -
You are already graduates.
Guys, everything is as if on selection,
Slender but okay.
For the girls stand a mountain -
Brave, courageous.
And girls are queens
No other words can be found.
Even though today is Miss Universe,
Everyone can shine.
How painful it is to leave
With an expensive office.
Although, of course, it's cool
Become so big right away.

Feedback from teachers at the alumni meeting

Graduates always say a few warm words to their former teachers and mentors. But teachers often congratulate graduates on the holiday. Here are some lines from teachers to graduates:

More recently, hiding behind bouquets,
You entered the first grade with excitement.
And now with parting advice
The native school will accompany you.

Childhood left in school corridors
The bells stopped, the noise and din died down,
And only memories in conversations
They sound quiet everywhere, here and there.

And there is something to remember: ups and downs,
And, laughter and tears, friendship and love;
As the head "cracked" from the study,
And the enamel of the teeth "rubbed off on granite".

Director's welcome speech at the alumni meeting

The director's words can be in poetic form or in prose. Usually, the school administration draws up a congratulatory text on its own.

Indicative text of the director's congratulations for graduates:

“Several years ago you left the walls of our educational institution. Many of you have become successful people and great family people. You are the pride of our school, so we hasten to congratulate you and look forward to your children. Unfortunately, experienced teachers left our teaching staff (listed by surname), but young and creative teachers appeared at the school (lists the young pedagogical staff). These workers revived life at the school, because, despite the need for experience, a constant renewal of the team is needed. I hope these teachers will be great mentors for your children. "

Director's congratulations at a meeting of school graduates

Graduates, in turn, must prepare an owl of gratitude for the director. Try to prepare ahead of time and learn a few poems.

Many years have passed
We've grown up in earnest
It's no secret to anyone
Can't stop time for a minute.

As if only yesterday
We sat at the school desk,
Now we have a mountain to do
Others are rocked by the old swing ...

Poems to the homeroom teacher for the evening of the reunion

It is best to prepare and compose poems yourself. But if you don't have that kind of talent, learn a few lines. Your homeroom teacher will be pleased to hear the congratulatory lines.

The years have flown by, we have all changed
But we really miss those times
When reluctantly, but still, they studied.
We miss school and old friends.

Today we are gathered again as before
And within the walls of our relatives we remember that hour.
Smiles on their faces shine with happiness,
We laugh like children again now.

Gifts for the principal and teachers at the meeting evening

A few years after graduation, most people are already working, so money for gifts will not have to be taken from their parents. The gift depends on the age of the person; therefore, you should not give fashionable equipment and gadgets to older women.

Drinks and candy will be inappropriate. The gift must be solid.

Make an appointment with your classmates in advance and discuss the gift idea. Be sure to present a bouquet of flowers, and it should not be an ordinary bouquet of roses in cellophane. It is necessary for the bouquet to be strict and collected with taste. It is best if it consists of expensive and rare flowers.

Gift ideas for class teacher and principal:

Gift certificate to a cosmetics or household appliances store
An expensive and rare book. Ask in advance which edition you need to purchase
Decorations. Moreover, take into account the teacher's age and financial situation. There is no point in giving the director a thin gold chain. The gift must be solid. Usually, the position of director is occupied by middle-aged women, respectively, small rings or tiny pendants around the neck will look cheap and stupid. It is best if it is a silver jewelry with semi-precious stones.
Appliances. This gift is appropriate if the teacher is young and able to deal with the technique.
Photo album with old photos. This gift is suitable if you are going to give it exclusively from yourself.

Fun Homecoming: Tips & Feedback

Of course, at school, everything is usually traditional. The evening is prepared by teachers, few of the graduates are involved in organizing the concert. But after the concert program, you can go to a restaurant.

Book the room in advance and decide on the menu
You will have to call all your classmates in advance and collect money. The easiest way is if it will be transfers to a card
After that, think about who will be the host of the event. The easiest way is to order a DJ or toastmaster. A fun evening is guaranteed for you
If you have warm relations with all your classmates, you can order a sauna. You will be able to communicate in a pleasant environment. Think about food and drink in advance
You can negotiate for a house in the countryside. Try to have some beautiful places nearby, because the alumni meeting is held in February. It's good if your city is close to the ski slope
You can independently prepare fun contests and games
Be sure to invite your class teacher and favorite teachers with you.

Organizing a homecoming evening takes a lot of time and nerves, so take care of the restaurant and gifts for teachers in advance.

VIDEO: Alumni meeting evening

School leaves an indelible mark on the lives of every person. Everyone gets an opportunity that makes them feel the best possible way and just enjoy what we have now. Very soon, all former classmates will get back together. That is why you should not stand aside, and simply must do everything in order to congratulate each of them on such an event. You don't need to worry about anything now. You just have to choose special postcards on our website. Congratulations can be different, but everything depends only on you, which is why you should never doubt about anything and not be sad. Just try and then you will also feel joy.

These alumni meetings are wonderful moments

I congratulate everyone on a pleasant pastime,

They are full of this spirit and are invincible!

My dear graduates, how many years have passed
And we are lucky to see you again,
How beautiful and important you have become,
Boys in suits, girls in makeup
I love you all, as I did decades ago,
And more than anything in the world I wish you
Seeing not the last time all these guys
Congratulations to all of you on the meeting of the alumni.

The years flew by as a swift bird
Nothing can be brought back
Only in memory can we restore everything,
And return to the school years again.
Dear graduates, congratulations,
We are all looking forward to the meeting,
And even if there are already gray hair on the temples,
But in my soul, as before, spring is raging.

So sometimes I want to return to the past,
After all, there is childhood and first love,
And even though we are all called by our patronymic,
Memories of school years come up again and again.
The meeting of graduates is a holiday for the soul,
This is the day when dreams come true
Since school years, we remember everything from A to Z,
We are always glad to see each other.

I fly to a meeting of graduates, like on wings,
I definitely want to see everyone,
We learn so much new about each other,
And remember with warmth the school years.
Congratulations on a wonderful holiday,
We wish you always keep your feelings warm,
May the memory return us to the beautiful far away,
Let's meet every year, friends.

Our life is a moment
Childhood, school years, already anniversary dates,
And all this is sheer vanity
But meeting youth is always sweet.
We invite everyone to the alumni meeting,
We promise everyone a wonderful holiday
Memories take us back to those distant years
When it was all for the first time for you and for me.

Today is a meeting of alumni,
The long-awaited holiday
This is the main celebration
Fulfillment of all desires.
Many of us have been grandparents for a long time,
After all, do not stop the wheel of life,
And on the threshold of school we are all equal again,
Former teachers and students.

The long-awaited holiday has come
Alumni meeting,
We sincerely wish you happiness,
Let the memories carry us back to the past.
We have become adults, fairy tales have ended,
Nobody hopes for clues anymore
We ourselves solve the problems,
But at heart they are all the same tomboys.

A little sad, but nice
Be at the alumni meeting,
I want to kiss and hug in a relative way,
And talk about the past again and again.
First successes and failures
And the solution to the most difficult task at that time,
Everything now seems ridiculous,
The past seems so warm and sweet to us.

The alumni meeting is scheduled,
Everyone, without exception, are invited
We wish everyone to have a rest from the heart,
Laugh sincerely, or maybe cry.
May this meeting be remembered for many years
Fortune may always smile at everyone
May health be strong without fail,
Let the strength of mind be excellent.

Winter graduation parties have long become a pleasant tradition, a meeting of memories for a large number of school friends. Such events are especially pleasant, as they are a specific excursion trip during school time - the brightest side of childhood. Deep down, every adult dreams of seeing his classroom again, which became the first rung of the ladder to life, meeting classmates - an important group of people with whom they share common school years, memories and dreams. Having an alumni meeting 40 years later is definitely a good idea, but the event requires preparation.

Alumni meeting tradition

This solemn tradition is practiced in many world powers. In order for the celebration to really give rise to many spiritual memories, and the offensive inevitability of the past did not come to the fore, of course, the meeting of graduates must be planned in advance. Further, recommendations for holding such an evening will be presented and examples of scenarios for a meeting of graduates 40 years later are given.

Prom planning

This stage will be considered preparatory for the evening of graduates. It is worthwhile to start calling old acquaintances in advance (2-3 months in advance), encouraging them to be interested in such a significant evening of the meeting of classmates, highlighting the most initiative old comrades who in the future will help with the organization of the planned event.

At the first stage, it is necessary to immediately think over possible scenarios for a meeting of graduates 40 years later, offering your classmates, for example, the following options:

The meeting will take place within the classroom of the home school in the circle of classmates and teachers.
The alumni evening can be carried out within the entire parallel released 40 years ago.
Perhaps a cozy cafe or a rented hall in a restaurant will become a place of memories of the school.
Will there be an unofficial holiday ceremony, and where it is worth holding.

If the organizers of the holiday managed to agree on the option of holding the event, then it is necessary to move on to the next stage of preparing the script for the meeting of graduates 40 years later - inviting classmates.

Evening invitation

It should be noted that this stage is the most important organizationally and at the same time the most difficult. What happened to old friends after school? Finding many of them is now not so easy. Someone left to enter a university in another city and settled there safely, with someone the connection has long been lost and it will not even be possible to find out where this person is now, someone is all at work and will not find time to meet classmates for 40 years later because of his business trips.

Forty years of graduation is not such a short period, so the audience will already be under sixty. Among them, unfortunately, there are those who will not be able to attend the event for health reasons. However, as life practice shows, many willingly agree to invitations and try to attend such a solemn evening.

It would be nice to organize a group of initiative people who will look for their classmates, contact them and invite school friends to the event. The scenario of a meeting of graduates 40 years later should be disclosed only in vague characteristics, it is not worth describing this event in detail. In communication with school friends, it is essential to initiate the next step of communication. Perhaps a former classmate knows some information about others and can help connect with them.

It should be understood that with the search for school friends, the number of the active group of the evening event increases. It is better to meet this initiative group about a month before the day of the event, that is, immediately after the Christmas holidays. At this meeting, you will need to discuss the scenario, plan the venue for the event, choose the menu, and so on. The majority of those who agreed and approved this evening once again choose the option for its implementation. As a rule, the participants insist on the simplest organization - to spend an evening of classmates in a cafe.

The first steps in developing a script for a meeting of alumni

Drawing up a plan for the prom at the beginning includes the following questions:

making an appointment with your teaching staff;
inviting your favorite school staff to the official holiday ceremony;
greeting and seating classmates 20-25 minutes before the beginning of the evening.

How will the invitees communicate at the event?

It is very important to plan the accommodation of the participants in the evening in advance. It is advisable to group your classmates by occupation, interests, think over how communication will move from one table to another. For example, if a meeting of alumni is held 40 years later, at the starting stages you can start talking about your future life after school, about a new job, or your own children and grandchildren. The invitees, as a rule, willingly share information about themselves.

The unofficial part of the alumni meeting scenario 40 years later can be implemented in the trends of the favorite music of the graduation period, that is, disco, for example, of the seventies. Many will support this idea. Only dances for a meeting of graduates 40 years after graduation are better to choose not fast ones.

Appointment of the host of the event

The very form of organizing an event implies the presence of a presenter. Only friends of school years can know who exactly to appoint for this role. If old comrades are present, then it is wise to choose one of them. Specifically, the presenter will implement the scenario of a meeting of alumni 40 years later. In the event that a classmate is chosen as the host of the event, then the response of the audience and support from the invited guests will be ensured to him, and the evening will definitely go well.

Conversations to avoid

It is worth realizing that the script for planning such a festive event casts doubt on many topics for discussion with classmates. In this case, a taboo should be imposed on conversations about the death of loved ones, serious illnesses, the sorrows of life, hard-borne job loss and other difficulties. Such instruction should be carried out even during the invitation of classmates to the gala evening. Why should such questions be taboo? The topic of the meeting implies only bright and joyful memories and feelings, so it is worth discarding any opportunity to upset a person in any way that evening.

Event budget planning

One of the main points, of course, will be financial costs. It is necessary in principle to correctly calculate the estimate of the event. For any variant of the celebration scenario, the indicated group of costs will be present. The script for the evening of graduates certainly implies the purchase of balloons and bouquets of flowers as a sign of respect for the teaching staff. The number of costs will include the rent of the selected premises, unless, of course, the school office was chosen as such.

Additional costs will be more significant if the chosen prom option goes beyond the usual and includes contests, live music, a joint photo session, and so on. Of course, the resulting amount of expenses should be immediately discussed with the participants in the evening and the group of people who volunteered to help with the organization of the event. As a rule, such an evening implies optimization of funds at the expense of volunteer classmates.

As a result, the scenario of a meeting of alumni in a cafe will imply the appointment of those responsible for:

search for a photographer;
planning and organizing entertainment events;
collection of photos of school years for joint viewing;
collection of funds for the lease of the establishment;
preparation and decoration of the premises.

The organization of a real solemn event will require considerable expenses, both materially and physically. It is worth noting that the organization of a holiday in a cafe will differ significantly from the school version. In our time of technical progress, it is possible to see those people who, due to life circumstances, could not make a visit to the alumni meeting. It is enough to get a password from Wi-Fi in the establishment and use the Skype program to bring the interlocutor to an interactive whiteboard. This is just an illusion of being present at the evening, but how pleasant even it will be both for those present at the evening and for the person on the other side of the screen. Of course, the issues of a person's access to the Network and the implementation of connection should be discussed in advance.

How to choose a café suitable for the evening?

One of the main criteria when choosing an institution of this type will be: an affordable and varied menu, reasonable prices, a cozy and festive atmosphere, good reviews from people who have previously visited it. For the scenario of a meeting of graduates in a cafe, you should look at the hall corresponding to the festive occasion. There must be excellent sound insulation so that the music from the main hall does not interfere with either the scenario of the event or the memories of school friends. But the opportunity to dance in the chosen room must be present.

Examples of the beginning of the script. Introduction

How to start such a gala evening? In its most general form, this can be represented as follows. The presenter thanks those present for the preserved team spirit of the graduating class. Briefly provides information about the absent (those who could not be notified, and who have good reasons to be absent). He greets the audience and starts the alumni meeting 40 years later (poetry or just an introduction will do).

An example of an opening speech for organizing a meeting evening 40 years later:

Hello my dear 11 (letter) grade! Why did you take so long? Do not crowd at the door of the office, let's go ahead, sit down at your desks! I really hope that you still remember where and with whom you sat in school lessons. So, everyone settled into their seats? Are these your places exactly?

At this time, prepared school diaries should be on the tables, in which surnames will be written and school photos will be pasted in.

Please check your diaries. During our evening you will be able to write to each other a few words in these diaries, so to speak, small wishes and hopes for new meetings. It will be a very pleasant memory of this day.

You can start the evening of the alumni meeting 40 years later with a congratulation poem. For example:

Forty years ago we said goodbye

Celebrated graduation

And today we are all together

Today is not an easy day

Our meeting is a miracle

We have changed outwardly.

We only remained in soul

Like children, they are mischievous.

I wish you to forget now all the grievances of past years,

I want this evening

He took us to school again.

First toast

This event, of course, implies a feast and toasts at the alumni meeting, slow dances (school waltz). But in fact, such an evening suggests the first toast to the meeting. This is confirmed by virtually any scenario of meeting classmates: 20, 30, 40 years old. In this regard, age does not play a special role. It is very important to present a toast at a meeting of graduates majestically, solemnly, to find the words that everyone needs now, warm, friendly, touching all corners of the soul.

The second toast at the winter graduation party, as a rule, is addressed to the memory of their teaching staff. In this role, of course, everyone faces the class teacher or favorite teacher. In this case, a speech at a meeting of graduates 40 years later will be addressed to teachers, fond memories of them. As part of this evening, you can also conduct the following interactive: display a poster on the projector with an image of a school teacher and medals addressed to them for:

sense of humor;
help in the classroom;
life example of virtue;
ability to empathize;
ability to organize a lesson;
motivation to study.

By unanimous decision of the people gathered today, we decide to present the diploma to the high-class teaching staff. We undertake to invite you to all further graduation events and allow you to educate the younger generation! Let's raise a toast to our school teachers!

In parallel, during the entire event, it is very good to run a slideshow of photos of school years, so that these pictures accompany the meeting and be in the attention of the entire festive evening. The music for the 40 Years Later School Time alumni meeting will go well with the slideshow. Other accompaniment will do as well. Homecoming songs can be selected related to school or graduation time (popular music of the sixties, seventies, nineties, and so on).

Entertaining part of the event

After the official part, a series of exciting games can be included in the script that will help those present to remember the school time and feel like a real school class again. Example: "Don't Spill a Drop" game. Guests sitting at the same table pass a glass around. Everyone should pour a small amount of some drink into it. The last one, whose glass is overfilled so that the liquid overflows, is forced to read out a toast and drink the resulting "cocktail".

You can also give an example of the game "Get to know a friend". It is necessary to blindfold the called "disciple". He must find out by touch and by voice who is standing in front of him. Whoever is recognized becomes the next player to be blindfolded.

There is a suitable game "Chocolate". For this game you need a plate of chocolate, a hat, mittens and a scarf, a knife, a fork, a dice-dice. All participants stand one after the other and throw the game dice on the table. The first person who gets the number six needs to sit down on a chair, put on a hat, quickly tie a scarf, put on mittens and start removing the wrapper from the chocolate bar. Then he takes a fork and knife and carefully cuts off a piece of chocolate and eats it in small pieces. If at this time the other player rolls six, then he undresses the previous participant and bites off a small piece himself. The person who eats the last piece of chocolate wins.

At this time, it is already possible to play songs at the alumni meeting. As already mentioned, it is better to choose calm music, and leave more danceable melodies to accompany slideshows or congratulations. Perhaps those present will want to dance the school waltz again. For this, for example, a sensual melody from the cartoon "Anastasia" is suitable.

Impromptu interview

In order not to lose the festive atmosphere of the evening, it is advisable that the organizer, imitating the journalists, took a comic interview with a group of classmates on the topic of what pranks were remembered during school. In this case, the main question can be veiled by a number of hidden ones, for example:

Do you think it is possible to return childhood?
How many times have you skipped class?
Have you corrected the grades in your diary?
Which of the school subjects was the most difficult given?
Who was cheated from in class?
Did you have any ideas to infiltrate the staff room?
Did you plan to hide the class magazine from the teacher?

Such questions will set the audience on a more cheerful mood, liberate, stimulate further communication between classmates. You can remember together the most significant moments, tricks and pranks.

Features of the event

It is worth noting separately that the script for the meeting of graduates after 40 years collects classmates of pre-retirement age in the institution. In accordance with the age category of the invitees, the ideal task for the host of the festive event will be to revitalize the audience and present this evening in the style of school everyday life.

In the company of older people, on the unofficial part of the prom, one should concentrate on contests and events of a logical, intellectual orientation, memories of school time. There should be not so many dance parts, a couple of slow dances will be enough. At the end of the evening, a competition of brief characteristics of those present can be held. Characteristics should be humorous. It should be immediately indicated to the participants that it is necessary to draw up a characteristic for a certain classmate, taking into account his school merits.

Of course, alumni evening events 40 years later will be different from the rest. The emphasis in such evenings should be on communication and memories of school life. Therefore, organizing an evening of reminiscences, during which classmates present, have calm conversations about their school past, sometimes exchanging toasts and remembering classmates who were unable to come today, would be a good example. As a result of such an event - a huge canvas of school destinies.

At this age, of course, it happens that the reason for not showing up for such a gala evening is an unimportant state of health. That is why it is worth connecting all the available possibilities of interactive communication in order to please a person with at least an indirect presence at the alumni meeting. The evening, therefore, will have to in its organizational basis assume the presence of a laptop, a mobile Wi-Fi router (or you need to find out the password from the Internet in the cafe where the meeting is held), a preliminary test activation with the addressee. We also need clear time synchronization (especially if the classmate lives in a different time zone) and an additional communication channel. Taking into account all the recommendations, the evening of graduates 40 years later will be held at the highest level.
