On each copy of the newspaper, draw a heart (or attach a cut out of colored cardboard) with the name of a particular man.

There is a solemn delivery of newspapers to men.

Presenter 1:
The newspaper is not simple, but speaking.

Host 2:
To the angry calls of his wife, the newspaper replies in your soothing voice: "I'm busy, please do not disturb."

Presenter 1:
But do not think that we will get off only with spiritual food.

Host 2:
Your family and friends are committed to buying a new sofa you like.

Host 2:
So, let's at this festive hour
Let's raise our glasses to you!

Raising glasses.

Presenter 1:
There is an opinion among the people that women and men think and feel differently.

Host 2:
We will not agree with this opinion, nor will we refute it. Let's just do our test.

Contest

Materials for the competition (2 sheets of paper, colored pencils or felt-tip pens). One sheet of paper for women, another sheet for men.

Presenter 1:
Using the proposed inventory, each gender group will reproduce the image of the ideal woman in their opinion.

Host 2:
We ask each colleague to draw one element on the sheet.

During the competition, the hosts provide all possible assistance (provide pencils; if necessary, they remind them of the main attributes of women's clothing - a handbag, a hat, jewelry, etc.).
After the portraits are ready.

Presenter 1:
Shows portraits to those present. What beauties turned out!

Host 2:
So we found out the ideal external data of the dream girl of our courageous half of the team.

Presenter 1:
We also learned what kind of opponent the female half of our team represents.

Host 2:
And so we give this portrait (drawn by men) to the personnel department. I ask you to keep it as the apple of your eye, and under no circumstances allow the employment of a woman with similar external data.

Presenter 1:
The portrait (painted by women) is also transferred to the personnel department for eternal storage. We have no rivals here. Any attempts to get into our good-natured team of similar ladies, we kindly ask you to nip in the bud.

Host 2:
We continue to shower our defenders with gifts.

Presenter 1:
When selecting gifts, centuries-old observations of the tastes of men were taken into account.

Host 2:
With trepidation, we hand over these socks to you!

Presenter 1:
These socks are not just a textile product, one might even say magical.

Host 2:
For socks up to 100 years old, the “anti-hole” option functions, that is, the wear of the product is guaranteed for one century.

Presenter 1:
Along with the anti-holes, the “anti-stink” system has been successfully introduced, with five perfumes to choose from at the click of a finger.

Host 2:
One click and the sock releases an intoxicating blend of orange, mandarin, neroli, cedar, pepper and musk in the Chanel Allure Homme Sport edition. We advise you to use this fragrance when playing sports and when conquering high goals.

Presenter 1:
Two clicks and you smell green apple, mint, pine needles, cedar, jasmine, lavender and sage from Hugo by Hugo Boss This feature is recommended to use if you want to feel independent and enjoy freedom.

Host 2:
Three clicks and a lingering fragrance in the air with notes of apple and plum, as well as bergamot and scarlet grapefruit according to Lacoste Pour Homme. This smell is necessary for sexual adventures.

Presenter 1:
Four clicks and here it is Prada Man by Prada - a blend of vanilla, patchouli, geranium, lavender, abmra, musk, cardamom, saffron and sandalwood. This smell is used in cases of passionate behavior, for adamant and determined men.

Host 2:
And finally, five clicks - and you will be surrounded by a sophisticated aroma of the fruity-spicy group from Calvin Klein Be. This scent is bergamot with juniper, mandarin with lavender and peach with magnolia. This smell is recommended to be used only with very close communication.

Presenter1:
But these are not all the features of miracle socks.

Host 2:
At the whistle, the socks themselves crawl to the owner. So fly in, hurry up, sign for a gift!

Handing out socks.
If you give real socks, then the host’s phrase: “Options are connected at the address. Filkin's letters, 13 ".

If the purchase of socks is not possible, then give the drawn products with the host's phrase: “Due to the fact that the socks are super-exclusive, you will receive the originals at ul. Filkina letters, 13. Gifts are issued according to these cards.

Presenter1:
According to an old tradition, new clothes are subject to thorough washing.

Host 2:
A man's shoulder is so secure
It's hard to live without you dear
Let the wine splash in the glass
For our defenders of the Fatherland!

Second raising of glasses.

Presenter 1:
So that you, our dear men, do not forget the military service ...

Host 2:
We propose to pass several standards, of course, adjusted for the civil service.

Presenter 1:
The first thing we can offer is the standard for dressing.

Host 2:
I ask you to get out of order, that is, the table and disassemble the props.

Get as many military uniforms as you can get in advance. The main thing should be a complete set of clothes (pants, you can just take a large size tights, large family shorts, a hat, you can use any caps, even pioneer caps, a uniform, vests, boots or slippers, a belt, attach a large number of badges to uniforms, you can paper, sew shoulder straps with incomprehensible stars and stripes). It is better for the competition to choose a pair of candidates of a slender constitution so that they can wear the proposed clothes over their own. The more diverse the set, the funnier. Mix clothes together. Contestants must wear it, the generally accepted standard in the army is 45 seconds. Of course, no one will be able to invest in this period. During dressing, the presenters comment on the circumstances: “One 45 seconds, two 45 seconds”, they serve clothes.
After dressing the contestants.

Presenter1:
An honest mother, and what troops did you guys serve in?

Presenter2:
No wonder people say, live and learn. What ranks are you in?

Presenter1:
Warriors are needed. Let's move on to the second rule.

Host 2:
A minute of general trying on running on the spot.

It is better, if possible, to turn on cheerful music (you can use V. Leontiev’s song “Green Traffic Light”, especially the part where the phrase “everyone is running” - make a “cut” of these words for a minute).

Presenter1:
Well done! Good run! Without stops!

Lead 2 feel the pulse:
Look, running hasn't affected me in any way. Now that's fitness!

Presenter 1:
Now let's see how things are going with you with throwing.

Host 2:
Again, as the people say, for a good soldier and a grenade gauntlet.

Standard:
At a certain distance, put a target on the chairs (you can use toy tanks or something else). To determine the distance of the target from the contestant, try to leave the “grenades” yourself in advance. Issue three "grenades" (mittens, gloves). The leaders give the command: "Pli." Next, comment on what is happening according to the circumstances. If the target is hit, then: "Target destroyed." If not, then “Nothing relatives, it’s hard when passing the standard, it’s easy in battle. We'll train after work."

Presenter 1:
In general, our women's hearts are under the protection of reliable hands.

Host 2:
We are proud to have such valiant warriors in our team!

Presenter 1:
We did a great job today. A man is not able to have fun for a long time on an empty stomach.

Host 2:
Therefore, we propose to continue the celebration at the festive table!

Defender of the Fatherland Day is historically associated with the honoring of victorious warriors, honorable veterans and servicemen. But you can be a defender not only with a weapon in your hands, and therefore we do not miss the opportunity to thank and congratulate all the dear men around us.

Not a single team misses this day the opportunity to praise the representatives of the stronger sex. The corporate party is becoming a tradition. At the same time, the scenario for February 23 can be very diverse: starting from fun in a cafe and ending with a trip to nature with the whole company.

If you are hosting a party in the office, take some time to prepare the event. In the plan-scenario for February 23 for a corporate party, include items such as

  • themed decorations;
  • selection of "masculine" music;
  • hearty feast;
  • toast tips;
  • contests-competitions;
  • practical gifts;

This scenario is suitable for holding a holiday in a restaurant hall or an office conference room. The participants sit at the festive tables, the corporate party is held by two presenters.

The room is decorated with balloons of green shades or camouflage colors. From balloons, if desired, you can assemble a figure of a soldier or a tank. There are also small tricolor flags and paper planes hanging from the ceiling.

Leading: Dear beloved men!
On this day, filled with greatness,
We will honor and praise you
And keeping all the decorum
Let's not forget to give a gift!
You are all for us Defenders, soldiers,
But better be in civilian clothes, you guys!
Let the form on you be only sports,
And your life is sunny and active!

And now we proclaim...

The words are interrupted by the music from the movie "Star Wars" "March of the Empire". The leader is silent. The military commander comes out.

Commander: A new crisis is brewing in the Galactic Republic! The dark side wins all battles. I - the official representative of the Galactic Empire - came to Earth to fulfill the prophecy and find (the number of office men) warriors who will save our Universe.
Recruits, before joining the ranks of the Galactic Army, you must undergo high-quality training. Get ready for tough challenges!

The commander hands out lightsabers and cloaks.

The host after each competition writes down the winners. All competitions are accompanied by music.

Agility test

Commander: We will start the tests seriously,
And let's test the soldiers for dexterity.

Who will be the first to refresh
He will be known as the most dexterous.

Participants stand in a row, they are given cocktail straws.

Commander: With the help of a straw, you need to transfer all objects strictly to your territory. The winner of the competition is the one who saved more "population"!

If there are a lot of men, then it is better to divide them into two teams (First-second). A large plate full of M&M sweets is installed, you need to attract the candy with a straw to transfer it to your plate.

Commander: I praise you, fighters,

You are hardly new recruits.

For the Stirlitz contest, you will need a tray on which 10-15 small items are laid out (lighters, matchboxes, notepads, pens, coins, etc.). Contestants must memorize as many things as possible. The tray is then taken away and a few items are added or removed. The most attentive participant becomes the winner. The task can be complicated by removing and adding several items at once.

Whoever completes this task faster, and then puts on boots and confidently walks a few meters in them, will be declared the winner.

Then the competition "Walk the ladder" will begin. A rope is placed on the floor, along which men need to walk blindfolded and not stumble.

Below we offer for your consideration a number of options for which you can create your own February 23 script for men at work .

In order to create a festive atmosphere in the workplace, you need to pay due attention to the design of the office. Decorate walls and shelving with safety netting, khaki balloons, flags, and army posters.

It would also be a great idea to address your colleagues “according to their rank” as part of the holiday. In this case, you can either find out in advance in which parts your men served and in what rank they left. The second option is to come up with titles in accordance with the specifics of your organization. For example, a fighter of the advertising front or a fighter of the Information Front.

The next idea for holiday for colleagues on February 23 is a costumed surprise. This may be a scene of military congratulations, a performance of a song from the military repertoire, or comic reworking of a popular song for colleagues by February 23 .

Congratulations on the holiday can be issued in the form of soldier letters-triangles and left on the desktop of each man in your team. Congratulate your defenders in army spirit, wishing them "soldier's endurance, officer bearing, hussar cheerfulness, general's salary, victory on all fronts and world peace!" The signature under the congratulations should also correspond to the army spirit - for example , « your fighting girlfriends.

Presentation of gifts can be organized in the form of conferring honorary titles and recognition of military merits - in a solemn atmosphere, in front of the formation, to the appropriate music.

Scenario for February 23 at work

Idea No. 2 "For merit".

Think about what positive qualities - both professional and personal - your men have.

As part of this scenario, ideally, each colleague should come up with a joke title, nomination, or award. For example - "the most purposeful" or "for determination", the most gallant or "for courtesy" and so on.

Presentation of awards-gifts or nominations can also be organized in the form of a solemn event with appropriate musical accompaniment and entourage.

If for some reason you do not want to distribute nominations and titles to certain employees personally, it would be a great idea to arrange a win-win lottery on February 23, each participant of which will receive his gift, title and congratulations.

Idea number 3. Thematic cooperatives and congratulations

In order to make a truly original script for February 23rd at work, choose a long-term holiday themed strategy.

Since each country and each culture and historical tradition has its own colorful and interesting traditions, why not use them in holiday scenarios?

Holding holidays in a certain style and a certain theme is a very fashionable trend of our time. And this trend of "immersion" in the chosen historical era, country and culture can be used on February 23rd. Moreover, from year to year, you can choose a new theme and style for the script.

Thus, script for February 23 at work can be built in the style of "knights of the round table" or "brave hussars" or "great samurai" and so on. The most pleasant thing in this case is that both gifts and the design of an office or a banquet hall, as well as the feast itself, can be very original every time.

External conditions do not always make it possible to arrange a full-scale holiday with costumed performances on February 23. competitions and noisy congratulations.

Then the best way out of the situation would be to try to choose original gifts for each culprit of the holiday and make individual congratulations. Even such trifles as warm and sincere words of gratitude and warm attitude, as well as attention and respect from colleagues will be a pleasant addition to the holiday.

Also, as such pleasant trifles for February 23, a clip or presentation on a military theme with photographs of the perpetrators of the holiday can serve. Also for men, you can make a colorful and interesting wall newspaper or order a congratulation from the team on the radio.

Khaki t-shirts or mugs with motivating army inscriptions, commemorative badges or any other souvenir containing military symbols can be an excellent gift for men from the team.

Also, if it is not possible to spend a holiday at the workplace, you can organize a joint vacation in a bowling alley for the heroes of the occasion, play a game of paintball, and so on.

As you can see, come up with an interesting congratulations script from February 23 at work not as difficult as it might seem. You can please colleagues and create a festive atmosphere under any conditions, budget and time for preparation - if only there was a desire and imagination!

And to create a mood, each man, upon entering the room where the corporate party will be held, receives an Alenka chocolate bar as a gift, but instead of the girl’s face, the employee’s face should be depicted on the wrapper.

2. For the photo zone, you need to make two large figures: a parachute and a submarine. Those who wish can choose: take a picture with a parachute soaring in the sky or explore the sea world on a submarine.

3. To save space, it is better to set the buffet tables - this will help free up more space for competitions and dances. You can add military-themed elements to the tables: toy tanks, airplanes.

2. List of songs for the contest "Guess the melody".

And as an initial greeting, please accept our special musical gift!

Women's group performance

Two girls perform a song-alteration to the motive of the song "Fortuneteller", with them a small group of girls on the dance floor.

Fashion changes daily

But as long as there is a white light

Without men there is no good weather

There is no people without men.

Even in the cards of the old gypsy

Through times the king, then the jack.

Yes, and we will tell you without trickery:

There is a white light on men.

What can I say, what can I say.

Happy holiday to you, men,

And we want to wish you

And courage and strength.

You miss the stars in the sky

Hold a tit in your hands

Don't forget to dream sometimes

Store heat particle.

We wish you more happiness in life

Do not be sad for nothing.

Congratulations on this day

Although you were not in the army yourself.

We wish a fair wind

Your life ships.

We dedicate this song to you

Noble to their kings.

Leading: Applause to the charming sailors and paratroopers. And now the floor is given to the director of the company (full name).

(The director gives a short congratulatory speech).

Leading: At the beginning of our holiday, you had a choice: who to become - a paratrooper and a sailor. Divide now into groups according to your choice and let's see who is the most here.

(Men are divided into groups).

Leading: You were divided not by chance. Today we will not only determine who is cooler - the marines or the air cavalry, but also identify the strongest, most courageous - a real fighter!

(Each team can be tied around the neck with a scarf; blue - marines, green - foremen).

Leading: Let's start testing for strength and endurance.

For the competition, one participant from each team is invited.

Task: to collect as many girls as possible in a certain place, but you need to carry them to the gathering place on your hands, on your shoulder and in any way, only so that they do not walk on foot.

The one who collects the largest number of girls receives an honorary medal - a sticker in the form of a star, which will be glued to each winner's clothes.

Leading: That's the first victory! But let's see if the winner brought our girls to their destination in general condition?

(Looks at the girls). Girls, do you feel good, do you feel dizzy, do you feel sick? Well, everything seems to be fine! And let's say hello to the first winner again. And the opponents do not despair, because there is still a chance to recoup. Sailors, paratroopers, choose your team of 3 girls!

From the teams again leave one participant.

3 girls are invited to help each of them.

Task: guess the melody.

The first person to raise their hand gives the answer.

Songs should be on a military theme.

Leading: A real soldier must be able to convey information in such a way that the enemy does not understand it. Now you have to turn on all your ingenuity, because you will not explain with words, but with drawings.

From each team, one person is selected to begin explaining the words first.

Each team has a magnetic board and a marker with which they can draw and, if necessary, erase the excess with a sponge.

Riddle words should display some kind of action. For example, military porridge. It is important to name this particular phrase, and not just “porridge” or “food”. The person who guesses the word gets a star.

Leading: Well, you don’t have to be a commander, but you always have to clean the roads from snow!

4 participants are invited.

Each is given a shovel. With it, they will have to imagine how they clean the roads from snow, but not just like that, but to the music.

Participants will have to demonstrate snow removal under 3-4 songs.

The best dancer is chosen by the audience with applause.

Leading: And they wear it on their hands, and they know the songs, but how beautifully they know how to move! How lucky our women are with such colleagues! Let's check, how do they navigate in the dark?

Two participants from each team are blindfolded.

They need to guess 5 objects by touch, and the teams can suggest what kind of object is in front of him if the participant cannot determine the object for a long time.

But the hints should be suggestive - remotely describing the subject and not contain the same root words.

Leading: A real defender of the Fatherland must be fast, dexterous, courageous, and now we will find out who is the most exemplary soldier in your team.

Each team chooses a suitcase. It's closed so they don't know its contents.

The host offers to choose a captain and only then says the rules of the competition.

The task of the captains for a while, while the match is burning, is to put on all the clothes that are in the suitcase.

The one who puts on more things wins.

To be funny, the suitcase should contain funny and ridiculous things, for example, women's or children's clothes.

Leading: Aren't you guys tired of competing yet? While you rest, let's pass the baton to our beautiful ladies!

Competition for girls.

To the belt of 5-7 girls, one matchbox is tied to a fishing line or ribbon so that they touch the floor.

On the boxes you need to stick a photo of any male object.

Girls must trample on the boxes of their rivals as quickly as possible and at the same time prevent others from trampling on their own.

Those participants whose boxes were trampled on are eliminated from the game.

Leading: What, however, are your harsh conquerors of men's hearts. Let's congratulate the winner with thunderous applause and be careful with her, everyone saw how she took other people's guys away, beat and trampled!

Attention! Now there will be a very serious competition, which will determine who will come out of here today as a winner!

For the competition you will need a table and two glasses or two faceted glasses.

The contents of the glasses can be anything.

On both sides of the table are a paratrooper and a sailor.

The competition is like a duel. At the command of the facilitator, the participants should grab the glass, drink the contents and loudly put the glass on the table.

You can hold several of these "duels", but with different participants.

Leading: Ladies and gentlemen, in a fierce battle, in a hard struggle, we have a winner. The most active participant with the most stars. Let's count!

(Music turns on, everyone applauds.)

Host (announces the winner): You get a certificate to visit a real Russian bath! (The music turns on, the presenter addresses all the men). And the rest of the participants are not upset, because gifts have been prepared for you too!

(All participants who have stars receive memorable prizes as a gift, for example, a comic diploma with the inscription “The main thing is not victory, but confirmation that you are a real sailor!”)

Leading: Dear men! Today you showed your strength, skill, quick wits, but for what? After all, no matter how strong men are, their main incentive is to win the attention of a woman. In fact, today there are no winners and losers among you! I was approached by the female half of our team with a request to convey that you no longer need anything, because for your colleagues, you are the strongest, the bravest, the best!

(At this moment, a slow song is turned on and the women invite the men to dance. It is important not to leave a single man unattended!)

Leading: Dear men, if you are not yet convinced that life in our office would be boring and monotonous without you, the ladies have prepared another surprise for you. Happy holiday to you, Happy Defender of the Fatherland Day!

The women's team plays up the situation of one day at work. They reluctantly do all the male work that their colleagues do on a daily basis. And in the end, congratulations on February 23 together.

As a cool gift for your colleagues on February 23, you can prepare a bouquet of dried fish and a beer cake.
