Party for children the mystery of the Egyptian pyramids. Egyptian birthday. Costumes and accessories for the holiday of Cleopatra

The key to organizing a party like this is that the entire party should be inspired by the theme of your choice. Whether it is a general theme, such as the season or feelings, or a specific one, such as a particular flower, there must be some common thread that ties all the components of the evening together. Venue, invitations, menus, birthday cake, keepsakes - all this should clearly reflect the overall concept. Therefore, turn on your imagination at full capacity and go!

Name

Come up with a name for your party, for example:

Romance on the banks of the Nile

midnight oasis

Arabian Nights

Egyptian temptation

invitations

Make invitations out of black paper or cardboard. Cut out triangles from gold foil to represent the pyramids and attach them to the front of your invitation. Use glitter glue or separate glue and glitter to make stars over the pyramids. You can also use photos of Egypt on invitations. On the back (or inside the invitation) write all the details of the party: where, when, what time. Write the following phrase below: The giant serpent that guards the entrance to the tomb of the Pharaoh will let only those guests who are dressed as ancient Egyptians into the party.

Egyptian motif

A motif is a visual representation of your theme. It can be created using various things and symbols. If you decide to have an Egyptian themed party, you may want to consider Egyptian symbols such as: Ouraeus, the snake emblem found on Egyptian rulers and deities; mathematical symbol for infinity; Horus - Egyptian god-falcon; the emblem of the right eye of the god Ra - the supreme god of the sun in ancient Egypt. All these symbols can be depicted on your invitations, on plates, in decorations.

Development of the Egyptian theme

Expand your motive with a list of words on the topic that you can use. Try to make your own, but if you're having trouble, here are a few ideas to get you started:

Colors

You need to choose 2-3 colors to use for decoration. In ancient Egypt, color was a very important part of the existence of all life on earth. Then, if people said about a person that he did not know the colors of the gods, this meant that he was incomprehensible and would never be fully understood. In art, colors were the key to the nature of beings. For example, when Amon was painted with blue skin, this implied his cosmic origin. The green skin of Osiris explained his power over all plants and his ability to resurrect.

Egyptian artists had only 6 colors at their disposal: green, red, yellow, blue, black and white.

Texture and decorations

Using different textures will make things look interesting and enhance the atmosphere you want to create at the party. For your party in Egypt, you can use sand, silk, satin, velvet, the texture of old papyrus for the background, multi-colored silk shawls decorated with metal coins and beads for belly dancers. You can also use rich brocade, velvet and natural silk. Papyrus scrolls can be used for programs or thank you notes.

Decorate your hall with palm trees (real or artificial, or you can even use inflatable ones). Add real sand to create an oasis, or use a lightweight, sand-coloured gauze to which you can add the same fabric blue color- The waters of the Nile. A real Egyptian look to your hall will be given by a vine, oil lamps, a garland of golden ivy.

Consider lighting: candles, candles and more candles. If there will be no small children at the celebration, put beautiful candles of different sizes on all tables so that they shine throughout the party. Candles on the water are very beautiful: take a glass bowl or several large wine glasses, fill it with water, put it on a mirror, let a few small candles float freely and enjoy the romantic atmosphere.

If your party is on fresh air, you can raise tents from bright fabrics (tulle, organza, silk, satin), but you should also have fewer candles. But if you are in a closed hall, decorate the ceiling with the same fabrics, make an imitation of a tent over your head.

Make plenty of pillows for your guests to sit on (instead of chairs), set up a low table. Give your table a festive touch by covering it with a narrow strip of fabric with beads and thick tassels at the ends. Make a pyramid out of a PVC tube, put a mummy inside (wrap the doll in rags), rubber snakes (they look like real ones), some treasures, etc.

Everywhere on the walls you can hang posters with caravans, palm trees, gold items and camels.

Entertainment

Dancing. Dancing was not just a pleasant pastime in ancient Egypt. Even in the pre-dynastic period, images were found female figures, perhaps Goddesses or Princesses, dancing with their arms raised above their heads. Dance was undoubtedly an integral part of the rituals and celebrations in ancient Egypt. People from different social classes were very fond of music and dancing. Workers worked to the rhythmic sounds of music and the sound of percussion instruments, and street dancers entertained the audience.

In normal Everyday life dancers and musicians were an important and integral part of banquets and celebrations. As a rule, men and women danced separately, in separate groups, and women sometimes danced in pairs.

Hire a belly dancer to entertain your guests.

Hire a camel if possible. Hire musicians - live music for such a party will be the decoration of your holiday.

Games.

In ancient Egypt, various board games were very common and popular. Archaeologists have found many different boards for certain games, but since the rules of the games have not been preserved anywhere, but passed from mouth to mouth, scientists still do not know what these games were. But you can simply offer your guests well-known checkers, chess, backgammon, cards, etc.

Mummy game. This game is played at various parties, but it is here that it will be more relevant than ever. Just divide the guests into 2 teams, choose one person from each team who agrees to become a mummy, distribute the rest of the rolls of toilet paper and paper and give the “start” command. Whoever wraps a person in a mummy faster wins.

The game "In search of treasure." This is a memory game. Place a variety of small items on the tray. Everyone should remember them. Then cover the tray with a cloth and ask everyone to close their eyes or turn away. Remove a few things from the tray. Guests must determine what is missing. This game can be played for a very long time and in turns.

Treats

Look for various recipes oriental dishes on the Internet, make lots of treats, put them on common trays and in large dishes, so that everyone can serve as much as they want. Decorate tables with fruits, flowers, beautiful napkins etc. Drinks can be very different, according to your taste.

Everyone has heard about the Great Ancient Egypt (the country of the great pyramids), so spending a birthday surrounded by Egyptians will be very interesting for children.

This scenario is suitable for children who are 4 to 7 years old.

It is best to hold games, competitions, competitions according to this scenario in a large room (gym, large living room, separate room in a cafe).

When all the children gather at the appointed time, they are lined up in a circle, and the main characters (representatives of the royal dynasties of Ancient Egypt) are introduced.

To the sounds of Egyptian music, two queens of Egypt, who ruled the country in different times, and became famous throughout the ancient world for their great deeds.

Nefertiti and Amphora pretend to have lost something and are looking for this important item.

Nefertiti (seeing the children):

- Hello guys! I am the Queen of Egypt - Nefertiti! I am famous for being the most beautiful ruler! And next to me is Queen Amphora! She ruled the country very wisely and brought many benefits to her people!

— What are you doing here? Why is everyone so smart, cheerful and happy?

- We will celebrate the birthday of ... (name of the birthday man)!

— Here, great! It turns out that today is a wonderful holiday! Let's meet the birthday boy! Where is he? Come on, get out!

After everyone got to know each other, and the birthday boy introduced himself, Amphora continues:

- There is a great idea! Let's all go to Egypt together to look at the pyramids and find ancient treasures. Somewhere out there, in the pyramids, there is a map of Akhenaten, on which the path to the riches, carefully hidden by the builders of the pyramids, is drawn.

- But in order to achieve the goal, you will need to show all your ingenuity, dexterity, strength and even cunning, and then you will become real Egyptians! Want to?

- Of course we do!

- Listen, Amphora! After all, this is a very difficult test! Do you think the guys can handle it?

- Necessarily! Look, they are already dressed in the real clothes of the Egyptians. It remains only to find out what qualities the inhabitants of ancient Egypt possessed. And the guys will now tell us what they think about it. Who will start first?

Children (remembering what was said earlier):

- The inhabitants of Egypt were smart, strong, dexterous, quick-witted, etc.

- Very well! Now it's time to check if you can become the same. We will show you, and you repeat everything after us and then you can learn all the movements in the dances of the ancient Egyptians!

Let's see how flexible, agile and attentive you are! Let's start the very first test!

Egyptian gymnastics

Music sounds (not necessarily with an Egyptian bias). Both queens stand in the center of the children's circle and show how the Egyptian dance is danced (elements of movements that are characteristic of the dances of this country are used). Children do not stand still, but move in a circle, repeating all the movements of the queens.

- Guys, I must congratulate you on the successful development of all Egyptian dance movements!

Well, that was a very simple task! But now we are waiting for a more difficult test!

tightrope walkers

A clothesline or a long colored ribbon is laid out on the floor in a zigzag pattern. Children must walk along it, carefully making sure that the foot is not left without a rope support. If someone steps past the spread rope, then this will be considered a fall and the participant will have to leave the game.

— What same you all-??? good fellows! And with this task you managed to cope!

Now let's see how strong you are!

Mighty Pyramid Builders

This game is very simple and is known to everyone under the name "Tug of War". Children are divided into two teams and, standing opposite each other, they take the rope. A red ribbon is tied to the middle of the rope, and two lines are drawn under it, at a distance of half a meter, so that it is exactly in the middle between them. After the signal, everyone together begins to pull the rope in their direction. The team that manages to get the red ribbon on the rope behind the line closest to it wins.

The winners are immediately awarded with small prizes (sweets, small souvenirs, etc.).

- Well, you guys have strength! You could independently build the most real and largest pyramid of huge stone blocks!

Let's move on to the next test! Let's find out who is the most dexterous and the most accurate!

pharaoh game

For this game you will need pins and a ball. If real skittles are not available, then they can be replaced with large plastic cups, which are installed in the desired order upside down. This game is a homemade copy of a bowling alley, only without a lane. The task of the participants is to knock down the ball the largest number pins in one throw, while the ball should roll on the floor, and not fly in the air.

- We can summarize! I must tell you, children, that you were able to become the same as real Egyptians! And as you know, they had their own pharaoh, so we also need someone who will manage everything and take care of everyone! Let's ask our birthday boy to become a pharaoh, because today is his day!

- Come out to us ... (name of the birthday boy)! We bring you our congratulations on your birthday and ask you to become our pharaoh! And for this you must take a solemn oath that you will be a kind and caring ruler!

Listen and repeat after me! I, ... (name), the great and mighty pharaoh, in the face of my friends, solemnly swear: Always help the weak and destitute! I will never leave anyone in trouble! My strength lies in boundless kindness and a good-natured sincere smile!

Nefertiti (pulling out a folded piece of paper):

- Guys, look - I found a map of the great pharaoh Akhenaten!

- Perfect! With this map, it will be much easier for the guys and me to find hidden treasures and look at the Cheops pyramid!

- Yes it is! We are going with you on a journey for new exciting adventures!

To the sound of music, everyone moves to a place with tables set in a broken line, which are covered from above with a cloth (tablecloth or sheet) hanging down to the floor, forming a closed space between the legs of the tables.

- Look guys! This is the famous impenetrable Egyptian labyrinth, which is guarded by the Sphinx itself! We definitely need to go through it!

Labyrinth of the Sphinx

Children, observing the order, squat under the tables covered with cloth. To complicate the test, the presenters can slightly shift the tables while the child is moving, imitating the appearance of insidious traps, which, as everyone knows, were filled with all the famous pyramids of the Egyptian pharaohs.

- You have completed this task and we can continue our journey!

“But in order to go further, we need to find out who is the most accurate among us and can take on the task of protecting our pharaoh and his caravan while moving along the sand dunes, because many wild bloodthirsty animals live in the desert, and there are robbers there.” !

Accurate shooter

To conduct this competition, you will need a plastic bucket or a tall and wide basin and several small balls.

Children take turns throwing their ball into the bucket from a distance of several meters. Each successful hit is marked by a prize (candy, chocolate or souvenir).

- Excellent! Now our pharaoh and his escort have brave defenders! But the next task awaits us!

Scarabs and scorpions

To play this game, you need an aquarium or a large cardboard box, as well as figures of desert inhabitants - scorpions, scarab beetles, lizards, snakes and other small animals. If there are no ready-made figures, they are drawn on thick cardboard and cut out, followed by gluing to a flat stand. Figures of sandy inhabitants, along with many other small items (bottle caps, old keys, toothbrushes, pens, pencils, etc.) are placed in an aquarium or box, and placed on the floor.

Amphora (looking at the map):

- There is a picture of a scorpion and the inscription: "Seek help from the sand dwellers!"

“That must mean that we must seek help from all who live in the desert sands—beetles, lizards, snakes, and scorpions.

- Children! Let's free our unfortunate friends who are trapped and cannot get out of there and they will help us find treasures! Do you know them all well?

The guys take out all the items from the aquarium (box) one at a time and, naming them, put them on the floor. At the same time, those items that do not belong to the category of desert inhabitants are set aside.

Nefertiti (looking at the map):

“Looking at our map, we have a large pyramid ahead of us!” And there must be a mummy in the pyramid! Let's see?

We are not afraid of mummies in the least! And we can even easily become mummies ourselves! Who wants to take part in this?

Mummy

A couple of guys are selected from those who especially want to beat in the role of a mummy and a pre-prepared toilet paper(in rolls) are completely (from head to toe) wrapped with it. At the same time, there should be an opportunity for the free movement of the “mummy”, since this will come in handy in the next game.

mummy's curse

Amphora (addressing those who did not get the role of mummies):

“Guys, these mummies have magical powers!” If one of them touches you, you won't be able to move for five minutes!

- Be careful and smart! You need to avoid the touch of these sedentary creatures!

A game begins in which the "mummies" try to catch up and touch the fleeing child. The rules are:

a child touched by a mummy freezes for five minutes, remaining in place without changing position for five minutes;
A "mummy" whose wrapping material breaks while moving is temporarily out of the game to restore its appearance.

The winner is the one who was able to remain in free movement for the longest time.

Song of the Nile Crocodile

Amphora:

— Dear friends! All of Egypt became aware that today is the birthday of our birthday ... (name). Even the crocodiles who live in the longest river in the world, which is called the Nile, know about this. And now they would like to make their crocodile gift to the birthday man, but they don’t understand a word of ours. Therefore, they are asked to help them learn one song that was once sung by their relative, who lives in our area.

Let's help them! And at the same time, we ourselves once again congratulate our birthday man by singing a song to him.

The recording of the song “Let them run awkwardly” is turned on, performed by Gena the crocodile from the cartoon about Cheburashka. All guests sing along.

Dunes

Chairs, armchairs, stools are arranged in the room, which are lined up in a broken line. At the end is a sheet of drawing paper with an Egyptian pyramid drawn on it.

Nefertiti (showing the direction with his hand):

- There, in the distance, the pyramid of Cheops is already visible! This is our goal to which we aspired!

“But to get to it, you need to overcome one more obstacle! See how many sand dunes are in front of the pyramid! They need to be passed, holding hands tightly and at the same time not clinging to the dunes in any case - they can crumble, and we will all remain forever in the desert!

Children, holding hands, amicably and accurately pass through the obstacles and find themselves in front of the pyramid. A small casket (box) is hidden behind it, in which there is a large number of chocolates (wrapped in foil) in the form of coins.

- Blimey! We found a treasure! Let's give it to our pharaoh, and he will decide what to do with it.

So our adventures in Egypt are over! Let's once again congratulate our birthday man and give him our gifts!

Children together:

- Happy Birthday!

After that, everyone sits down at the table, and the celebration continues with cheerful music, eating a birthday cake and drinking tea.

egyptian party very stylized, unusual, exotic. It is worth preparing very carefully for its organization. To get started, choose a suitable name so that it not only reflects the style of the party, but also seduces, attracts, contains a mystery! Be sure to come up with original invitations that briefly state the essence of the holiday and information about the need to comply with the dress code. The essence of the holiday should be stated mysteriously, in the manner of the East, in order to interest guests. But you should not state in detail what and how will take place at the party, leave a riddle behind the invitation.

If you have already decided on a room or venue for an Egyptian-style holiday in nature, then you should stock up on various decoration elements for decoration and creating a stylistic entourage. Something to cook with my own hands, and therefore it is worth buying paints, glue, paper, cardboard, plasticine, if you don’t already have it.

Use the symbols of Egypt, such as the eye of the god Ra, the symbol of infinity, the emblems of the serpent, to decorate the venue. Use fabrics various colors, but for starters, you need to choose the right one. color scheme. In Egypt, only blue, green, red, yellow, black and White color. They all meant different things: yellow - eternity and incorruptibility, red - life and victory, green - vegetation and new life, blue - space, sky and water, white - omnipotence and purity, black - death and night. Decorate your room symbolically.

Use sand, silk, velvet, satin, multi-colored silk scarves decorated with coins and beads, papyrus readings, brocade for a party. To decorate the venue of the Egyptian party, you can use artificial palm trees, real or inflatable, fake vines, oil lamps, aroma sticks and candles, garlands of golden ivy, laurel. In the fresh air, you can set up tents made of bright fabrics. Indoors, use posters of caravans, palm trees, goldsmiths, and camels.

The next critical stage is costumes and menus. The costumes of the Egyptian people are skhenti and kalaziris, fitted and tied at the waist. On their heads they wore leather bands with silk threads. To create an image, use as much jewelry as possible, especially for women. Tiaras, bracelets, headbands, rings, earrings - all this reflects the image of an Egyptian and even an Egyptian.

The exotic country of Egypt is a country with an interesting centuries-old history, bewitching with a mass of secrets and mysteries, such as pyramids, tombs, a sphinx and majestic pharaohs.

If you are passionate about the culture of this country, dream of plunging into its mysterious atmosphere, feeling how the Egyptian pharaohs lived, rested and had fun, taste all the delights of the luxury of a great state and immerse yourself in the secrets of the Arab East, then you can safely celebrate your birthday in the style of Ancient Egypt .

First you need to think about invitations. Can be used computer graphics unless, of course, you wish to arrange them yourself. You can, of course, turn to specialists. The main thing is that everything should be in accordance with the intended theme. Scarabs, a trio of pyramids (Khufu, Khafre and Menkaura), the majestic sphinx, etc. can be depicted on invitation cards.

What needs to be done to make the party take on Egyptian motifs?
The first is the room, it should correspond to the number of people who will be present at your celebration, and allow you to place the necessary decorations. To create the entourage of Egypt, you can use velvet, satin, silk shawls of different colors, the texture of old papyrus. Papyrus scrolls will be an excellent solution as programs and menus.

The laid out pillows embroidered with gold thread will create a special atmosphere in which guests will feel cozy and comfortable. Pick up low tables so that those present can sit at them on cushions. Cover them with tablecloths decorated with beads and tassels along the edges. As additional decor use placers of coins and "precious" jewelry.

Palm trees fit perfectly into the interior of the room. You can embody a stylized oasis using an airy fabric in the color of sand, greenery and water. Also, lightweight materials can be used to create a kind of tent. The walls are decorated with vines, ivy and fancy lamps.

Pay due attention to candles, they will create an effect of mystery and create a special mood. An interesting element of the decor will be a bowl filled with water, with multi-colored burning candles.
In the process of decorating, keep in mind that in ancient Egypt, only three colors were used for interior decoration, which are endowed with a certain meaning. Red is associated with victory and life, green is a symbol of the birth of a new one, and yellow symbolizes prosperity and eternity.

The outfits – they should definitely match the theme as well. The wardrobe of the men of Ancient Egypt consisted of loincloths "shenti", and the ladies wore "kalaziris" - a piece of fabric in which they wrapped the body, with wide straps. You can just put on light dresses, long shirts, suits in the style of the East. Particular attention should be paid to jewelry - massive bracelets inlaid with stones.

As treats, serve pastrami, tahina, shawarma, shakshuk omelette, klufta, Cairo bird as treats. Desserts - donuts with sweet sauce, baklava. Arrange fruits in abundance on the tables. Arrange all dishes on large painted trays, and serve drinks in tall jugs.

With music in the theme of the party, perhaps, there should be no problems. Great if you can organize live musical accompaniment.

Have a great birthday celebration!

Not so long ago, I was looking for a job and in this regard, I described one of the quest party scenarios that I come up with. I think this is a good way to arrange interesting holiday for kids. Although for adults it can be a good alternative to sitting at the table. It turned out long, but in detail - according to these steps, you can prepare everything yourself. I share with you (I apologize for the appeal "to you" - that was the order).
If you want your party to be discussed by friends and acquaintances, and those who didn’t get to dream of you inviting them next time, turn on your imagination and arrange a real quest right at home! In addition to drinks and treats, invite guests to participate in a spectacular and exciting adventure.
Training:
For an Egyptian themed party, you will need to decorate the room with ancient Egypt related trappings. Prepare a playlist with tracks that alternate between playing ancient instruments and sounds of nature. Arrange candles to create an atmosphere of mystery. Stock up on incense. And now - the main details: take a few sheets of paper and schematically draw people and animals on them from sticks and circles - let them line up in a row in the manner of an ancient Egyptian bas-relief. Note that faces in this tradition are always shown in profile. All paintings must be monochromatic, without drawing details. But on one of them, depict some bright object that stands out from the general composition - for example, give one of the little men a delicious orange or put a red Santa Claus hat on the head of a buffalo. This picture should unobtrusively stand out. On her reverse side the message will be encrypted, so when hanging your art around the room, make sure that it is in a prominent place. The second important detail in the design of the room is the pyramids. Glue a few paper pyramids together and place them in different places. On the inside one of the tombs will also have a message. You have to hang this pyramid on a string to a chandelier so that it seems to float in the air.
Well, it remains only to invite guests!
The game starts unexpectedly. Each guest from an unknown number receives an SMS with strange words. They have to guess what these words need to be put together in a sentence that will become the key to the next step. Depending on the number of participants, the phrase can be broken down in different ways. For example, if you have three guests, let the first of them receive a part: "the mystery of Egypt awaits.", The second - " home garden”, and the third - “Among the green”. You can break the phrase into smaller fragments. It is important that there is a period at the end, and the first word in the sentence is written with capital letter. As you understand, for this you only need to persuade someone from your loved ones to take responsibility for sending out a message at your go-ahead. Do not forget to first give this person the phone numbers of your guests and better not trust this important mission to your beloved granny
At the first stage, you may have to silently push the guests to solve the puzzle. The phrase "Among the greenery of the home garden awaits the mystery of Egypt" should lead them to the idea that they need to inspect indoor plants. In one of the pots, put a bag with a message in advance. These will be figures cut out of cardboard, reminiscent of ancient Egyptian writing: a semicircle, a triangle, an ellipse, a fish, a bird, etc. Each of these figures must correspond to one letter. Number them in such a way that, adding these symbols in order of priority, you get the phrase: "The ice will melt and reveal the secret to the light." The participants in the game will not be able to read it yet - because they do not know the cipher, so also put a scroll with burnt edges and the inscription: “A fresh wind will bring fresh thoughts” into the bag.
When the guests guess to go to the window to open it and “let in a fresh breeze”, they will see that a sheet of paper is glued to the glass from the side of the street. On this sheet they will find an alphabet, and opposite each letter there will be a symbol resembling ancient Egyptian writing. This is the key to the previous clue. Now, by laying out the figures from the bag according to the numbers written on them, they will receive the following clue, which will lead them to think about looking for ice somewhere in your apartment.
Of course, in order to melt the ice that will “reveal a secret to the world”, you need to look into the freezer! In it, the players will already be waiting a plastic cup with frozen water. And inside there will be a container from under Kinder Surprise. Stick a label on the glass in advance: "Three elements have revealed their secret, the fourth is waiting for its turn." If you want, for fidelity, you can draw earth, wind, fire and water.
The element of earth manifested itself in a pot with a flower, the wind entered through an open window, and water in the form of ice at that moment hides the next step. The element of fire will be needed in order to melt the ice and get to the container in the glass. Boil the glass in a saucepan until tender. Salt, pepper to taste J
Inside the container, guests will find a smaller version of one of the "Egyptian bas-relief" paintings. Yes, yes, the very one with a bright, inappropriate detail! Most likely, by that time, someone will already notice your efforts to decorate the room thematically and, perhaps, even tactfully remain silent without pointing to the “failed fresco”.
On the reverse side of the picture are the words: "The fifth element rests in the soaring tomb."
Having unfolded the pyramid, which is suspended on a thread from the chandelier, the guests will see another "bas-relief". This time, the same sketchy little men will be drawn in strange poses: someone is standing with their arms wide apart, someone is bent, forming a right angle, someone is lying down. And everyone holds hands, creating a single chain. There are as many of them as there are players with you. The first one holds a pyramid in his hand, from which a thread goes up, and the last one points forward with his finger. On the same sheet, mark the parts of the world. And under the little men, draw an arrow. In addition to the drawing, inside the pyramid there will be an inscription made using symbols from the “Russian-Egyptian” alphabet invented by you: “The soul of fire is to burn, the soul of water is to swim, the soul of air is to blow, the soul of earth is to give life, the soul of man is to unite.”
