April 1 holiday re-enactment. Invitations to the festival of laughter

At the very beginning of preparations for a grandiose holiday of fun and laughter, I want to ask you: please forget to invite people to the party who are absolutely “not friends” with humor. Even if they are very close people! April Fool's Day is not a formal holiday (like a corporate party), and not a family holiday (like a birthday), because you have every right to spend the evening in the circle of those people with whom you can laugh great and boisterously! After all, only such anti-stress “therapy” will really work! Well, now - I announce the countdown to the start of our preparatory April Fools' campaign: three, two, one... Let's go!

PREPARATION FOR THE FESTIVAL OF LAUGHTER FOR ADULTS

... the postcard with two faces in photo 2 is similar in style and manufacturing technique. Only one of them is cheerful, the other is sad. This card contains a warning: “Some of our jokes may upset you! But we truly love you! Therefore, don’t take everything so close to your heart!

INVITATIONS TO THE FESTIVAL OF LAUGHTER

Traditionally, laughter and good mood are associated with a laughing face, a jester in a snuffbox, or a piece of pie. Why not invite friends to your party of healthy fun with postcards with such generally accepted symbols? In addition, making such invitations yourself is not at all difficult!

Option 1. Smiley postcard

Do you really want to smile back at such a pretty girl?

To make a postcard you will need:

1 A4 sheet of white and yellow cardboard, half a sheet of black and pink colored paper;

A piece of 20*10 cm vinyl wallpaper in yellow, pink and white tones;

Yellow finishing tape (60 cm);

Red finishing tape (25 cm);

Corrector pencil, glue, scissors, black marker.

Manufacturing sequence:

1. Fold a sheet of white cardboard in half. We glue the prepared piece of structured vinyl wallpaper onto the front side of the card.

2. Separate the bottom strip of white cardboard from the main vinyl sheet with a yellow ribbon tied in a bow.

3. We cut out a circle with a diameter of 10 cm from yellow cardboard and glue it to the right half of the front part of the postcard.

4. Modeling a smiling face. From black colored paper we cut out a smile, pupils for the eyes, and eyelashes. With pink - rosy cheeks (circles with a diameter of 2.5 cm). With white - the whites of the eyes (circles with a diameter of 2 cm). We assemble the face and decorate the smiley with a red bow.

5. Using a corrector pencil, draw white dots on the yellow and red tapes.

6. Sign the postcard and send it to the recipient!

Option 2. Postcard - pie

Food (especially cakes, pies, and other baked goods) has a whole chapter devoted to April Fools' pranks! Therefore, I advise you to invite your friends to try a sunny, cheerful April Fool's cake, depicting it on an invitation card!

Materials for making a postcard:

Two sheets (standard format) of yellow cardboard, and 1 each of red, black and white;

One sheet each of green and red structured cardboard;

25 cm of red finishing tape;

Correction pencil, black marker, hole punch, glue and scissors.

Manufacturing method and assembly sequence:

1. Fold the yellow cardstock in half and cut out two halves of the card in the shape of a flower with rounded edges.

2. Use a hole punch to make a hole at the top and tie the two parts of the card together with red ribbon.

3. From green cardboard (decorated with white small peas) we cut out a circle with a diameter of 10 cm and glue it to the center of the front part of the assembled flower.

4. We model the central figure of the postcard - a piece of pie. To do this: cut out a quadrangle from yellow cardboard (round the edges). On the rectangle we draw a happy face with lowered eyelashes (it is best to do this with a black marker). We cut out “cream” from red cardboard - one third of the rectangle in width and length equal to the length of the upper edge of the rectangle. We cut out “cream” from white paper, and a strawberry from red structured cardboard. We collect all the parts and glue them to the center of the green circle.

5. Using a white corrector, we draw dots on the tape and shade the strawberries and cream with a “seam”.

6. Using a black marker, draw a seam along the edges of the green circle and the yellow flower - the base. The postcard is ready to delight your friends with very promising anticipation!

Options for invitations to April Fools' Day

If you don’t have the time (or talent) to make your own invitations, we can offer several fun options that are easy to find on sale. For example, very often I had to see “piglets” with April Fool’s fools.

Invitation forms of a very simple but original format can be found on the Internet. Well, the hit of the April Fools' season for you and your friends can be cheerful crayfish taking a hot foam bath.

However, there is another fresh idea. You can also invite someone to an April Fool's party with a Christmas card, which is quite likely lying somewhere in the back of your closet. Such a joke will also be received by friends with a good sense of humor with a “Hurray!”

And a few words about the text of the invitation:

"Expensive _________! You've probably heard that real humor and sincere laughter have a positive effect

on heart health and the general condition of the body. In this regard, we invite you to join us in

DECOR AND DECORATIONS FOR April Fool's Day

By the first of April, the decor should be both specific and functional. Specific because its elements are absolutely exclusive, and they can only be used on April Fool’s Day. Well, a functional one is one that in itself is already a kind of fun, or can be used as part of one of the pranks.

The entrance to your holiday, which prolongs life, should definitely be decorated with smiling faces like these. Let these cheerful balloons put your guests in the mood you need.

Orange signs and plastic safety barrels

This April Fool's decor idea will surely interest extreme comedians. To implement it, all you need to do is knock over a bucket of cement at the entrance to your house and put up road fence signs notifying about repair work in this area. And also - install a sign: “Bypass”, pointing to a blank wall. 10 minutes of a cheerful “aperitif” before tasting the main portion of laughter, your guests and you yourself are simply guaranteed!

Posters of famous clowns and comedians

April Fool's Day- the best reason to honor the memory and pay tribute to people who for many years made millions of compatriots laugh until they cried. Decorate your home with photos and posters with portraits of those comedians whose jokes always lift your spirits!

Fun sofa cushions

Why not scatter soft chickens from a well-known and beloved computer game throughout the house? Let them sit on cabinets, on sofas, on tables, and even “nest” on the floor. Firstly, such decor perfectly conveys the atmosphere of April Fool's Day, and secondly, multi-colored chickens can be used as an instrument for one of the games in the entertainment program.

Masks for April 1

Masks will help diversify the lyrical atmosphere created by a photo in the style of “nostalgia”. Decorate the walls with totems with cheerful and bright faces, and you are guaranteed many reasons for funny ideas and improvisations!

Giant spiders and rubber snakes

And under the cheerful sofa cushions you can hide such cute surprises for slightly tipsy and relaxed friends. Imagine, a guest sits down on the sofa with a smile, reaches out his hand to adjust the pillow, and from under it crawls out... a very cute snake, looking like a real steppe viper! Ah-ah-ah! April Fool's Prank was a great success!

Paper fish - collection of fools

By the way, about one more preparatory moment for the entertainment program. All your achievements on the basis of friendly scams and practical jokes must be recorded. According to a tradition that has existed for many years, a person who perceived a joke as the pure truth had a paper fish glued to his back or sleeve - a symbol of excessive gullibility (or the dexterity of the joker). Why don't you take advantage of old symbols? And at the end of the evening - count how many successful jokes took place on this first of April? And who turned out to be the biggest April Fool? Cut out fish-shaped stickers from colorful sticky notes and hand them out to your guests. Let them hunt and be creative!

Wine stains

“Adorn” your holiday rug with a chic ink, wine or gravy stain. Your guests will have a lot of fun seeing such a marvel in the middle of your luxurious, always perfectly tidy living room. Spot... Isn’t it a very original, exclusively April Fool’s decoration element?

FUNNY COSTUMES

The stupidest outfits on this day will look like a brand, like the latest fashion! Invite guests to come to the party in completely incompatible wardrobe items, or even in dresses turned inside out. Anything that looks very funny and absolutely ridiculous is welcome! For example, a girl dressed in military style and with a glamorous bright flower on her forearm will look very original on April 1st.

And guys can wear plush overalls, recreating the same computer-generated, stupidest chickens in the world who declared war on pigs.

If you have time to think April Fool's Day you don’t have an image at all, you can come to a party in a children’s dress with bright polka dots, covering your hair with a large and curly clown wig. And the face can be embellished with a huge plastic nose, glasses and a mustache.

Do you know what the main beauty of planning an April Fool's party for adults is? The fact is that it is almost impossible to “overdo it” with jewelry, outfits and other paraphernalia! And there is no need to combine all the decorative elements in style! After all, absurdity is the main trump card of the quality of your author's April Fool's Day! Appreciate it! And hurry up to arrange a holiday - mega anti-stress!

Where exactly this holiday comes from - April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day - from France, England, Mexico or Sweden is a mystery that, unfortunately, is shrouded in darkness. Our students will solve this mystery.

Scenario.
The presenters (he and she) go on stage.
Presenter: The long-awaited moment has arrived: the chimes are striking, the champagne is sparkling. Happy New Year, country! Something wrong. Yeah, here it is. The long-awaited moment has arrived: fireworks roar, orderly rows of soldiers march in the parade. Happy Victory Day, country! Yes, this is not the same folder at all! I knew I shouldn’t write the spurs, I’ll get it mixed up anyway. Although if you think about it, you could expect something like this today. Students... Well, we can’t live in peace: either butter at the door, or a disco after midnight. After all, while studying, students have a choice: sleep, parties and, in fact, study itself. Moreover, in each individual semester, only two of these classes can be successfully combined. So we look forward to the weekend as a holiday, and the holiday as a weekend. Why do you think the first of April is not a day off? The most fun day, and here you study. But then there wouldn’t be so many pranks: “calling to the training unit”, “cancelling a pair” and much more. Moreover, after classes you can joke to your heart’s content from the stage. Which, in fact, is what we will do now.

Of course, every draw must be avenged, so at the end of the evening we will announce the winners in several categories. You will find out why he was avenged later.
And, of course, we have a jury. And, of course, the representative of our student fraternity, a student... of the group... She is tasked with keeping an eye on the rest of the jury so that they do not forget that they are not in class and do not grade too harshly.
So, we begin our holiday.

Leading: This holiday is celebrated in many European countries. In our country it is an unofficial national holiday. Cheerful deceptions and pranks, laughter, carefree fun - all this is appropriate on April 1st. It’s hard to say why this particular day. There are explanations, both religious and historical, but we will not give them here, since no one can guarantee the reliability of these explanations.
In all countries, April 1 is celebrated differently. For example, in France this day of playful deception is called “April fish”. Who knows why? In 1574, King Charles IX issued a decree moving the beginning of the year from April 1 to January 1, but many of his subjects, as a sign of disagreement with the highest command on April 1, sent each other a copyright-by-holiday traditional gift - fish. And the Dutch try to make fun of their friends and come up with some unusual news. Even newspapers take part in such pranks. In England, April 1 is All Fools' Day. From midnight to 12 noon on April 1, everyone can play a joke on their friends and acquaintances and deceive them.
Anyone who falls for an April Fool's joke is greeted with cheerful laughter and shouts of "April Fool!" The Germans consider April 1 an unlucky day, since according to legend, Judas was born on this day. Adults and children deceive each other, sending each other to stores and pharmacies with impossible orders.
And we will start our humorous evening with a funny games "Zoo", and will carry it out...
Presenter: We are sure that everyone's spirits have lifted! That's how it should be. After all, today is April 1st - don’t trust anyone! But this does not give you a reason to doubt that today there are fun competitions and tasks in our program. They will help us identify the funniest person of the evening. Who will be this walking humor? The one who collects as many “gag moments” as possible. (Showing hand-drawn buttons). The most important “prankster” will receive a prize!
Leading: Attention! First joke! Question: “Which city is considered the most fun?”
That's right, Odessa! As we know, Odessa is famous for the funniest pranks, and there are so many jokes about Odessa residents! And now we are providing the opportunity to earn the next “joke” with the help of an anecdote related to this city.

Jokes competition.
Presenter: Now I invite two young men to the stage (go out).

For you competition "Dapper!"

You need to tie a scarf in boxing gloves as quickly as possible.

Presenter.
And now we are again inviting four young men.

The next joke is called: "A thread from the world".

Presenter: We thank everyone for their participation and accordingly present the winners of this competition with a “fun”.
Two girls are invited to the stage.
Leading: Now you will all see that girls are “cool drivers” of cars. As you can see, threads of exactly the same length are attached to the machines; you need to wind the thread around a pencil. The winner is the one who winds the entire thread faster, and the car must move strictly along the intended road - line.
« Car enthusiasts competition « : The winner is awarded a "driver's license" and a "joke".
Presenter: And now we invite four Aquarius according to the horoscope. To whom, but to them you can ask the question: “Am I a water-carrier of honor?”
Competition "Fast Water Carriers" . There is a bowl of water on one side. And on the other there are empty cups. It is necessary to fill the cups, passing the copyright-by-holiday to each other in the palms of water. So, one pair competes against another. We start the competition with the start of the soundtrack. Just for fun - the winners.
Leading: It's time to sum up. Who has how many “jokes”? We ask you to come up to the stage. Introduce yourself... You turned out to be the funniest people of the humorous evening. Applause to you all!

When preparing pranks for friends on this day, do not forget that you yourself may be the victim of a prank. In any case, the April 1 holiday is a good test of a sense of humor and, to some extent, resistance to stress.

Guests invited to the holiday may arrive either too early or too late; on this day you need to be prepared for any turn of events. When the guests have gathered, announce a competition for the best drawing (the competition is held throughout the holiday, and only at the end of the fun the results are summed up and the winner is determined, who is awarded a prize, which must be funny). After this, guests are invited to the table. The treat should be unusual. You can put inedible dishes or objects disguised as food on the table mixed with normal food. However, the main dishes of the holiday should still be appetizing and tasty.

At the table, it makes sense to hold a competition for the shortest or funniest joke. The winner is determined immediately.

After the feast, guests are offered an April Fool's entertainment program. The most important thing here is to alternate simple games and pranks so that it is impossible to understand when the prank begins; this is the highlight of the whole holiday. In between entertainment, you can hold a competition of funny riddles. Here are examples of some of them.

1. Stands on the chest of drawers, black on the outside, red on the inside. What is this? Answer: galoshes. Why on the dresser? I put my galosh wherever I want.

2. Red heels sticking out of the garden bed. What is this? Answer: red-heeled bed-raker.

3. Crawls along the ceiling, flies around the light bulb, buzzes, starts with “v”. Who is this? Answer: fly. Why does it start with "v"? Because he's showing off.

4. Lies on the floor, folds its paws, does not buzz, starts with “d”. Who is this? Answer: fly. Why does it start with "d"? Because she was showing off (or she was dead).

5. Why are the elephant's eyes red? Answer: to hide in tomatoes. You saw the elephant in the tomatoes - that's how well he hid.

6. What is ten times one hundred grams? Answer: kilogram (usually people answer: liter).

Game "Degree of Sobriety"

To excite your guests and lead them to more serious pranks, offer them a simple but very fun game. The host names various words, and the guests in chorus name the diminutive form of this word. For example:

mom - mommy

slipper - slipper

bag - handbag

lamp - light bulb

goat - goat

rose - rosette

water - vodka

In fact, the diminutive form of the word “water” is, of course, “vodichka”. As soon as the players say “vodka,” the presenter stops the game and diagnoses the participants with “increased bottleism.”

Drawing "Traffic Inspectorate"

In this drawing the host is a traffic police inspector, one of the participants is a “offender”. Before the drawing, “car racing” takes place. To do this, the presenter calls two or three daredevils and invites them to cover the distance in “state-of-the-art cars.” Race participants are given plastic basins. At the command of the leader, the racers sit in the basins and try to get to the finish line as quickly as possible. The distance is approximately four meters.

At the finish line there is a “traffic police inspector” who stops the fastest racer and asks to show his driver’s license and registration certificate (the participant replies that he does not have documents with him). Then the inspector suggests breathing into a tube (the role of the tube is played by a balloon; the inspector forces the “offender” to breathe until the balloon bursts). After this, the participant is asked to go the distance, since the tube is still damaged. To do this, the player is blindfolded, and four or five empty bottles are placed in a line on the floor in front of him, between which the “victim” must pass. After the “victim” is blindfolded, the bottles are removed. Amid laughter and advice from the audience, the “offender” weaves across the floor.

At the end of the drawing, the “traffic police inspector” hands the “offender” a “liquid for reinforcement.” This could be a bottle of wine or vodka. In any case, the prize must be serious enough to console the “victim.”

Prank game "MPS"

All party participants sit in a circle. The presenter says: “Each of you has an MPS, each has his own, and your task is to find it.” Participants ask the facilitator questions about their MPS. The question should be asked in such a way that it can be answered “yes” or “no”. The game is played until one of the participants guesses that MPS is just “My Right Neighbor”.

The presenter must always remember that he must give answers specifically for the player’s right neighbor.

Draw “Reflection”

For the prank, a “victim” is selected and given a simple task: you need to connect ten dots on a sheet of paper, viewing the sheet only through the reflection in the mirror. The “victim” is given props: a mirror, a marker and paper. While the victim connects the dots, one of the participants quietly writes down the words spoken by the drawer. And after the test, this “speech” is read out under the title “What (the name of the victim) said on their wedding night.”

The evening continues with dancing. In the midst of the fun, a “gypsy woman” appears and offers the guests to tell their fortunes for money or just like that.

Here are some examples of predictions.

1. Various diseases are waiting for you, young one, contagious diseases. No, not because the lines are bad, but because your hands are dirty.

2. Wow, dear, I see everything, I know everything, in the morning you will run after beer, in the evening - after girls.

3. Oh, honey, a heavy blow awaits you! In the morning, when you step on the scale.

4. Oh, I see they’ll have their eyes on you, as well as your heart, lungs, and liver. And on top there is something long, thin... Ah, a herring!

5. You will sleep, dear, softly, you will sleep sweetly... Until the cake is pulled out from under you.

It’s good if the predictions concern the occupation of the person being told fortunes. Then it will be even funnier.

At the end of the holiday, the results of the drawings are summed up and all participants are awarded funny prizes. Prank victims are given consolation gifts. Examples of funny prizes:

1) a small souvenir, packed in a large number of boxes, like a nesting doll;

2) a head of cabbage, from which the stalk is cut out, and a piece of paper is inserted into the resulting void with the inscription: “So big, but you believe in fairy tales!”;

3) a shoe box with a small slot on the side, a small end of a rope sticks out in the slot, next to the slot there is an inscription: “Pull the rope” (inside the box there is a coil of rope at least five meters long);

4) beads made from sweets;

5) a mirror with the inscription “it’s you”;

6) badges with funny inscriptions;

7) “constructor” - a box of matches and a glue stick;

8) “realtor's manual” - children's fairy tale “Teremok”;

9) “for a beginning musician” - a whistle or rattle;

10) “a set of a real man” - a bottle of beer and a newspaper with a telegram.

Mandatory condition: all party participants must unpack their gifts.

And one last thing. Laughter prolongs life, this is a well-known truth, so laugh often, with or without reason. Just remember, not everyone will be able to appreciate a joke if they are the victim of a prank. In any case, your task is to amuse your friends, and under no circumstances laugh at them. We wish you that your jokes will always be kind and that your friends will be able to appreciate them. And if you know that a person may be offended, then do not trust him to play the victim.

We wish you a happy holiday!

LEADING. Everything is correct. The competition is called “LAUGHTER”. Its terms

enough to compose a poem of four lines - each
of which begins with the letter S-M-E-X. And at the same time we hope that

earth.

(Competition participants come up to the stage. The presenters seat them on chairs. There is paper and a pen on the table in front of them).

LEADING. Do you like everything about our school? Yes, I read your thoughts -
Not all. Of course, nothing is perfect. I passed by the group yesterday
guys and heard how one of them was indignant at the order at school. That
If the disco doesn't work that way, then the teachers are strict with the students. And he
uttered the following phrase: “If I were a director, then....”

HOST. Now we will try to make this desire come true.
Guys, imagine that you came to school, and you were offered a substitute

(The guys read out their essays on a given topic).

LEADING. Has everyone spoken? Thank you. How will we summarize

If suddenly a minor moment happens,

We'll cheer you up with a good song...

we have a new competition. It's called 'Catch up on the contrary'. Participate in it
as easy as getting a scolding. I invite three to the stage

is that? But I must remind you that this will be a scolding in reverse. How
This? Yes, very simple! Please bring the offending students onto the stage!

you will be the teacher. And you are given the opportunity to spend
educational work (conversation) with truants. You will do this
one by one. First, the first teacher will scold the three truants,

the one who can do it most convincingly and intelligibly will be helped
identify our guilty ones. So let's begin. I hope you find
the very best words... Who's first?

(The presenter provides the opportunity to conduct an 'educational conversation'
each of the competition participants in turn. At the discretion of the organizers
time for this may be limited. After the end of the competition, the presenter
interviews the 'guilty' and determines the winner).

LEADING. Well, let's assume that there is an actor for one more role.
I'll tell you a secret. Vanya Petrov, who won this competition, will play in
film the role of Karabas-Barabas. According to the script, he is the director
factories and scolds his subordinates for the lack of candy for sale
`Pinocchio`.

HOST. However, we need to continue selecting artists for other roles. A
because - the next competition. What should I call it? Well, at least this way -
`The most eloquent`. Why not a name? But I hope you understand
that on April 1, everything should be believed literally the other way around. So I ask everyone
eloquent silent ones to take the stage.

(Competition participants line up on stage).

HOST. Wonderful. Please state your first and last name. Just
wonderful - you started talking in earnest. So we can start

HOST. Apparently, you already guessed that reading poetry will not be so easy.
By the way, since ancient times, people considered this remedy to be the first in
combating excessive talkativeness. But this does not apply to those present. I
please start.

(Each of the competition participants takes water into his mouth and reads
worm poem. The winner is the one whose performance is the greatest

seats in the hall. Let's move on to the next competition. We'll call it `Competition
marksmen`. I invite those who wish to come on stage. I explain the conditions
competition.

(Explains the conditions. They are as follows: on a stand so that
could be seen from the hall, two sheets of white paper were attached. They're green
and a square is drawn in blue ink. One of the participants makes soap
bubbles, and the second one should blow on them and “drive” them into a square. Wins
the one who manages to do it more out of 5-10 attempts).

LEADING. Thank you, our competition seems to have been a success. You see, soap balls

well-aimed with their prizes and assign the winner to play the role of Robin Hood.
We will definitely send you an invitation to filming.

HOST. Igor, do you think our knowledge that we acquire at school will be useful in life?

LEADING. But of course! Necessarily. But, as popular wisdom says, “If you know a lot, you will soon grow old.”

HOST. So what should we do?

LEADING. The answer to this is given by the satirist Vladilen Prudovsky. He wrote about it this way in his poem “To Know or Not to Know”:

Known to everyone, without any doubt,

A proverb that says

What in knowledge is the root of rapid aging,

That knowledge is a syndrome close to old age.

HOST.

We really pay for them with weak eyesight,

Active hair loss

Gastritis and high blood pressure...

So to know or not to know? - that is the question!

LEADING.

Let someone be overwhelmed by ambition,

But I have no doubt that

What is better earlier, but to grow old wisely,

Than later becoming an old fool.

LEADING. Do you know, Lena, what I'm thinking about?

HOST. About what?

LEADING. Won't our guys get the impression that there are no serious heroes in our film?

HOST. I think this won't happen because our next
The competition is very, very serious. At least as far as
this is possible on April 1st.

LEADING. Do you mean...

HOST. ...Competition 'True Friend'. To participate in it, please rise
There are five girls and five guys on stage. Moreover, in pairs. Please be bolder.

(On stage, the guys sit on chairs, and the girls are taken to the other side,
so that they do not see in what order the children are seated. Presenter
instructs the guys, tells them that during the competition they must
maintain complete silence so that their “true friends” recognize them not by their
voice, but by intuition. And at this time the girls are instructed by the presenter).

LEADING. Please tell me, girls, do you remember what it was called

I ask the assistants to blindfold the girls and give them treats.

(The girls are blindfolded and taken one by one to the guys sitting on
chairs. The winners are those who made no mistakes with
blindfolded, they recognized the guy with whom they went up on stage. Maybe
It may happen that there will be several winners. In this case
the host congratulates everyone and asks to stay on stage.)

his assessment of the contenders for the role of Tatyana Larina. The winner

LEADING. And now another very interesting competition! Competition for the best
joke. But these may not only be anecdotes as such. It can
be short jokes and reprises, humoresques, satirical poems. Who cares what
much So let's begin!

HOST. Who's starting? Those who want? From the third row? Over to you.

(Perhaps, for the “seed”, it is necessary to prepare several speeches; all the rest, of course, are impromptu).

I ANECDO-TELLER. Conversation between a girl and a young man:

Tell me, Louise, would you agree to become the wife of a limited but rich man?

Let me see. Your proposal is unexpected for me.

II ANECLOTCHIK.

Well, how is your husband? - asked Valentina, who came to visit her friend.

You know, not very good. He fishes in the bathroom all day long.

So you should call a psychiatrist.

I thought so too, but I really want fresh fish.

III ANECDO-TELLER. A patient who has just suffered a heart attack comes to his senses and asks the doctor:

Doctor, can I have a cigarette?

Well, if this is your last wish...

(The proposed anecdotes are conditional. Participants can offer much more
interesting. Students can know about this competition in advance).

HOST. And now let’s sum up the results of the very first competition, the competition
poets who wrote four lines `C=M=E=X`. We believe that
the winner was tenth grade student Vitya Mashkov. His quatrain
turned out to be the most successful (reads it out). That's why he will take part in
filming of our film. He will be entrusted with the role of Omar Khayyam. Role
D'Artagnan will go to Igor Bogdanov - the best joke teller.

LEADING. So the filming will take place. The tests, in our opinion, were a great success. And in conclusion, all we have left is...

HOST (interrupts). Igor, you forgot something...

LEADING. Oh yes! Bet. Moreover, I won it.

HOST. Won? You are so confident in yourself. And don't you consider yourself a braggart?

LEADING. I don't think so. Of course I won. And even among the notes from the hall
there were also many witty and apt names, such as... (reads out
some). Still, an agreement is worth more than money, and I ask the whole room
crow, because our film is called `Laughter for no reason -
that means there is no sadness. The most amazing heroes will meet in it, and with
The most amazing adventures will happen with them. Just like today
on our April Fool's Day. However, it's time to crow...

(In this episode, the organizational skills of the presenters should be demonstrated. They should infect the hall with their example).

HOST (addressing his assistant): Lena, isn’t it time to end the evening - the first roosters have already crowed.

HOST. Well. We have turned the last page of our holiday.
If your soul feels a little warmer, if it doesn’t disappear on your faces
smile, it means that it was not in vain that we tried to instill a good mood in you.

LEADING. It’s really not a sin to laugh!

HOST. Laugh every day, for a reason or without a reason, - from this
the heart and thought work more confidently. And the person becomes kinder and more beautiful.
Have a good mood!

LEADING. Smiles and success!

HOST and HOST: - Goodbye! See you again on the radio wave “Laughter is the companion of our life.” Happiness to everyone!!!

The presenters (he and she) go on stage.

Presenter: This long-awaited moment has arrived: the chimes are striking, the champagne is sparkling. Happy New Year, country! Something wrong. Yeah, here it is. The long-awaited moment has arrived: fireworks roar, orderly rows of soldiers march in the parade. Happy Victory Day, country! Yes, this is not the same folder at all! I knew I shouldn’t write the spurs, I’ll get it mixed up anyway. Although if you think about it, you could expect something like this today. Students... Well, we can’t live in peace: either butter at the door, or a disco after midnight. After all, while studying, students have a choice: sleep, parties and, in fact, study itself. Moreover, in each individual semester, only two of these classes can be successfully combined. So we look forward to the weekend as a holiday, and the holiday as a weekend. Why do you think the first of April is not a day off? The most fun day, and here you study. But then there wouldn’t be so many pranks: “calling to the training unit”, “cancellation of a pair” and much more. Moreover, after classes you can joke to your heart’s content from the stage. Which, in fact, is what we will do now. Of course, every draw must be avenged, so at the end of the evening we will announce the winners in several categories. You will find out why he was avenged later.
And, of course, we have a jury. And, of course, the representative of our student fraternity, a student... of the group... She is tasked with keeping an eye on the rest of the jury so that they do not forget that they are not in class and do not grade too harshly.
So, we begin our holiday.

Host: This holiday is celebrated in many European countries. In our country it is an unofficial national holiday. Funny deceptions and pranks, laughter, carefree fun - all this is appropriate on April 1st. It’s hard to say why this particular day. There are explanations, both religious and historical, but we will not give them here, since no one can guarantee the reliability of these explanations.
In all countries, April 1 is celebrated differently. For example, in France this day of playful deception is called “April fish”. Who knows why? In 1574, King Charles IX issued a decree moving the beginning of the year from April 1 to January 1, but many of his subjects, as a sign of disagreement with the highest command on April 1, sent each other a copyright-by-holiday traditional gift - fish. And the Dutch try to make fun of their friends and come up with some unusual news. Even newspapers take part in such pranks. In England, April 1 is All Fools' Day. From midnight to 12 noon on April 1, everyone can play a joke on their friends and acquaintances and deceive them.
Anyone who falls for an April Fool's joke is greeted with cheerful laughter and shouts of "April Fool!" The Germans consider April 1 an unlucky day, since according to legend, Judas was born on this day. Adults and children deceive each other, sending each other to stores and pharmacies with impossible orders.
And we will start our humorous evening with a fun game “Zoo”, and it will be held...

Presenter: We are sure that everyone’s spirits have lifted! That's how it should be. After all, today is April 1st - don’t trust anyone! But this does not give you a reason to doubt that today there are fun competitions and tasks in our program. They will help us identify the funniest person of the evening. Who will be this walking humor? The one who collects as many “gag moments” as possible. (Showing hand-drawn buttons). The most important “prankster” will receive a prize!

Presenter: Attention! First joke! Question: "Which city is considered the most fun?"
That's right, Odessa! As we know, Odessa is famous for the funniest pranks, and there are so many jokes about Odessa residents! And now we are providing the opportunity to earn the next “joke” with the help of an anecdote related to this city. Jokes competition.

Presenter: Now I invite two young men to the stage (come out). The "Dapper" competition is for you! You need to tie a scarf in boxing gloves as quickly as possible.

Host: How many catchphrases were born with the help of the humor of some funny people.

Competition "Catchphrases".

Remember the popular expressions associated with the ears.

Presenter: “It flew into one ear and out of the other”, “A woman loves with her ears, and a man with his eyes”, “A bear stepped on his ear”, “To hang noodles on your ears”, “And the walls have ears”, “It’s better once to see is to hear a hundred times”, “And Vaska listens and eats”, “They hear a ringing, but don’t know where it is”, “Believe your eyes, not your ears”, “Mouth to ears, even sew strings.”
Everyone who named at least one expression gets a "joke".

Presenter.
And now we are again inviting four young men.

The next joke is called: “A thread from the world.” It is necessary to beg as many different accessories as possible with which to decorate yourself. The one who does it the coolest will win!
Competition time - the sound of one musical composition. Presentation of jokes.

Host: Now name the names of the classics whose works contain humor.

Competition "Humor in Literature".
Ilf and Petrov “The Golden Calf”, Gogol “The Nose”, Chekhov “Thick and Thin”, Saltykov-Shchedrin “The Wise Minnow”.

Presenter: We thank everyone for their participation and accordingly present the winners of this competition with a “fun”.

Two girls are invited to the stage.

Host: Now you will all see that girls are “cool drivers” of cars. As you can see, threads of exactly the same length are attached to the machines; you need to wind the thread around a pencil. The winner is the one who winds the entire thread faster, and the car must move strictly along the intended road - line.

Car enthusiast competition: The winner is awarded a “driver’s license” and a “joke”.

Presenter: And now we invite four Aquarius according to the horoscope. To whom, but to them you can ask the question: “Am I a water-carrier of honor?”

Competition "Fast Water Carriers".
There is a bowl of water on one side. And on the other - empty cups. It is necessary to fill the cups by passing water in each other's palms. So, one pair competes against another. We start the competition with the start of the soundtrack. Just for fun - the winners.

Host: It's time to sum up. Who has how many “jokes”? We ask you to come up to the stage. Introduce yourself... You turned out to be the funniest people of the humorous evening. Applause to you all!

Presenter: Who is the winner? We will test the speed of your reaction and ask the most difficult question of the entire evening: What date is today? (The presenter says this question very quickly). The winner gets a prize! The prize is to the studio! (Set of buttons). A festive disco for everyone!

Disco!

The presenter greets the children with the words:
"Everyone, everyone, everyone!
We greet you!
Good morning!
Welcome! Come in!
Everything here is ready for fun!
Dance, sing, have fun
And let laughter reign everywhere.”
Today you came to the Feast of Laughter. People say: “April 1st - I don’t trust anyone!”
Because: April 1st is humor,
April 1st is a joke
April 1 means laughter and smiles on your faces!
Let's start our holiday with a cheerful song.

Scattered:
What is this, what kind of joke?
I'm going for the second day!
But I didn’t end up in Leningrad,
And I ended up in kindergarten!

And then the guest’s suitcase unzips, and all his clothes and felt boots fall out.

Leading:
How absent-minded you really are, why did you take felt boots on the road?
Addressing the children: Children, will the absent-minded feel the boots come in handy now?

Children:

That's right, and if you can no longer wear felt boots, you can play with them.

Now let’s listen to some funny ditties.

Children come out and perform comic ditties.

Black paint blanket.
The red cat slept on it -
Became a striped tiger.

Comb your hair
A cow approached him.
She combed her tongue.

Allah is at the table today
I dozed off at the plate
Pinocchio sat down with her
I ate compote and porridge.

Smoky pan

My light, mirror, tell me,
Tell me the whole truth:
Am I the most terrible thing in the world?
Worst or funniest of all?

The game “The most, the most” is played: a) scary; b) funny. (Children repeat).

Leading:
Shouldn't we listen to the fables in our faces?
Tales in faces
They are sitting in the bright rooms,
Nuts are cracking
Yes, they create ridicule.
Want to know which ones?
And here are the ones!

Several guys are reading fables.

Tales

Because of the forest, because of the mountains.
Uncle Yegor is coming.
He's on a piebald cart,
On a creaking horse
Belted with an axe,
Boots wide open
Kaftan on bare feet,
And there's a pocket on the head.

A village was driving past a man,
Suddenly from under the dog
The gates are barking. A stick jumped out
With grandma in hand
And let's bludgeon the horse on the guy...

Early in the morning in the evening,
Late at dawn
The uncle was riding on horseback
In a chintz carriage.
And then behind him at full speed
Jumping my feet
The wolf tried to swim across
A bowl of pies.
The hare looked up to the sky,
There's an earthquake
Jam was dripping on him from behind a cloud.

Leading:
Isn't it time for us to hurry up with the game?

The game “Glue the Monkey’s Tail” is played. (A picture with a picture of a monkey, but without a tail, is attached to the easel; children must glue the tail to the blindfolded monkey).

Children come out and recite poems.

Comic poems
Celebrate the holiday of laughter
Well, fun, what fun!
Like a whole white light
Ate a funny one for lunch!...

Birds chirping,
The ticking of a drop.
The morning rises early on April 1st.
On this smiling day
Living without jokes is bad.

If you are touchy,
Hot-tempered, forgetful,
Gloomy, quarrelsome,
Beware of the catch!

Presenter: (Turns on an audio recording, music can be played with the song “Fortune Teller” (Fashion Changes Every Day) music by M. Dunaevsky, lyrics by L. Derbenev.) And now meet!

(A little bit later). - And now “Guests from the future!” (to music and applause, several girls dressed in suits and dresses made of cellophane and shiny wrapping paper enter, walk in a circle, perform involuntary movements.)
The artists all dance together to the music and then stay for the celebration.

Leading:
Humor has come to us
Brought us fun!
We ask everyone to sing along
And dance a little
And then for sure
We won't be sad yet.
Smile: Sasha, Masha, Kolya, Nina and Natasha
From every corner let it be heard: ha-ha!
Laughter and humor, fun - replace vitamins!
Join us! "Let's do everything like I do!"

To any cheerful music, a smartly dressed Matryoshka with a basket enters the hall. (There are chocolates hidden in the basket, each of which is glued with tape to a drawn flat matryoshka doll).

Leading:
Matryoshenka, dance,
Show us your heels.

(Matryoshka dances and spins).

Matryoshka:
In my girlfriends basket
Everyone looks alike
In colored sundresses
Yes, in painted handkerchiefs
Just different in height
And their names are very simple,
Help me guess
What are these girlfriends called?

Children in chorus:
Matryoshka dolls!

Matryoshka gives gifts to children.

The holiday is over, and the children leave the hall to the melody of “Smile.”

Note:
During the games, the winning children are awarded comic prizes.

There are rich rivers. These all year round, like tribute, as if by hereditary right of high origin, collect water from powerful tributaries that lie outside the Land of Permafrost or receive it from under the permafrost through taliks.
Every drop of water has its own destiny, just like every tree, stone and person.
Abandoned desert cities seem to me like something between | between mirage and reality. They are slowly being destroyed and covered with sand. But all the houses in such cities served the people, and once they had a present, and then they began to have a past. But here, where I have arrived now, almost next to a large railway station, there are houses without a past, present and future. They did not serve man and will never serve him. Reality and almost a mirage.
A large pumping station building with huge sparkling windows, a boiler room with black blocks of boilers, a slender pressure tower, girlishly cheerful, with a bright roof, everything | pre-disassembly pumps at street intersections - everything is new and everything is abandoned. Because of the smallest, barely noticeable point, hidden in the taiga - the well at the source.
Water supply engineer Pakhomov, young, fair-haired, very short-sighted, is acutely worried about troubles. 01 brought me to this miserable station.
“The nearest railway station, which stood on the river,” he says, “was left without water in the winter.” Here they found an irreplaceable source, built all the structures, but when the well was made, there was no more water...
All railway stations at the beginning of the century, when the first tracks were laid here, as in Russia, were placed on rivers. But it turned out that the rivers were freezing. During the years of winter lack of water, in order to preserve the remaining water in the rivers, people thought in different ways: they insulated the ice of the river with snow, manure, and blew air under the ice. In the thirties, when they began to lay the second tracks! They tried to build highways and stations no longer on rivers, near unfrozen deep underground springs. But, having learned from bitter experience one feature of the frozen country, they have not yet comprehended another - how can and should be built!
such sources. Apparently, it was also necessary to go through
this trouble.
Pakhomov says sadly:
We build foundations for bridges by freezing: we freeze the top layer of soil saturated with water, remove it, freeze it again, remove it again until we reach the required depth. They also began to lower the well. And the source froze from such a thing...
The source turned on its underground path to where it was warmer. It is most difficult for weakening deep jets at the surface of the earth, where frost is severe. A person needs to meet these jets with warmth, and he helps the frost kill them.
In lifeless buildings, everything is prepared to welcome the dear guest - water. The pressure pipes of the pumping station arch their proud necks, and pressure gauges and water meters flash in red and blue colors. It seems that if you wave a magic wand, everything will come to life, spin, and a living stream will flow. But oh, it will never appear...
Pakhomov took me further to the old station. There is a gallery under the river bed. It was built correctly, but the water flowing through the gallery thawed the frozen soil at its base.
“And when I started, I started scalding from below,” says Pakhomov, squeezing his lips almost painfully, “and the gallery is empty.”
The permafrost here was aquifer until it thawed, and then became water-bearing rock. Such a transformation only happens in the Land of Permafrost.
In the evening, on a red horse in an old tarantass, we arrived at a mountain spring. September was calm and bright. The well at the source was built several years ago. Clay is compacted around it to keep water out. But the clay, frozen in winter, began to swell, pulling the well up with it, and now it looks like a huge, disheveled chicken with log feathers crawling out of the ground. The source froze and there was no water.
On our way there was also a small spring in the taiga. It stood out among the collapse of dark red granites, surrounded by orange larches. There is a well at the spring. Nearby there is a woodshed. Who would have thought - the barn protected the thawed soil from the frost, but the well at the source was not heated, and blue icefalls appeared on the woodpile in the barn in winter. The barn collapsed, it was filled to the top with ice, and the well became empty - the water went down the drain into the barn.
