Musical competitions for a fun company. New contests

Musical competition

This game is best played by those who are well versed in music. The leader is selected, he takes the ball for himself and becomes in the center of the circle, then throws the ball to one of the players and calls some composer. The player must throw the ball back to the leader and name some piece of music by this composer. For example, the leader throws the ball and says: "Mozart." The player replies: "Turkish March". Then the leader throws the ball to another player and says: "Mendelssohn." The player replies, "Wedding March." Game continues. If the player cannot quickly find their bearings, they are out of the game. This game can be played in a different way. The presenter may name not composers, but contemporary singers, both Russian and foreign. And the players remember the songs that they perform. Another variation of the game - the presenter calls a piece of music or a song. And the player must name the composer or performer of this song. The rest of the game runs in the same way.

Firefighters

In one corner, a house is being built from cubes or from a table and chairs. Dolls, bears and other toys live in this "house". And in the opposite corner of the hall is the "fire station". "Firemen on duty" sit on chairs at the ready, as "alarms" can come at any moment. They have paper fire helmets on their heads. At the signal, the "firefighters" must quickly stand up, put their hands on each other's shoulders, while depicting a fire truck. From the group of children, 8 people come out who are near the house. Each holds a piece of red paper in one hand and a blue one in the other. When it is necessary to create the appearance of fire, children should wave these sheets. The whole course of the game is accompanied by music, sometimes calm, sometimes disturbing, and a choir consisting of kids. During the performance of the choir, it is important to ensure that the children sing all the words clearly, and the leader must control their breathing: the singers should not forget to round their mouths, they should sing in a vocal position, and not in a folk manner.

One-two

This game is for children from 7 to 9 years old. At least 2 players can participate in it. At the command of the educator, the children should take a breath in unison (for “one”) and, most importantly, hold their breath, and then slowly, in a thin stream, gradually release air (for “two”). The winner is the one who can hold air in the lungs the longest. The game can be continued by inviting the children to sing any well-known children's melody for the syllable "la" or "a". Break the whole song into phrases. But before each phrase, do not forget about breathing. It is necessary to try to have enough breath for the entire musical proposal. For older children, you can complicate the task and include vocalizations in the game. Two teams are offered a choice of several melodies. In a short period of time, they must remake the given melody as colorfully as possible, using various syllables. Whoever has the best vocalization and who performs it more melodicly will be considered the winner. And if you want to complicate the task, then you can put the breath where it should not be. Will children understand and find mistakes? For this task, the leader can assign them additional points. The main task is to teach children to breathe correctly, which is so important while singing.

Mystery game

The number of participants is unlimited. It can be grandmother, and grandfather, and father and mother, and brothers, and sisters, and friends. They all sit comfortably in chairs. One of the players stands with his back to those sitting and closes his eyes, and the child, who simultaneously acts as a leader, turns to face the players. He will be the conductor, who must show with his hand to those sitting on chairs, to whom and how to perform the sound [a]. Someone needs to sing this sound loudly, and someone - quietly, someone - low or high. The player who stands with his back to those who are sitting must guess the singer by the timbre and characterize the distinctive properties of his voice. When everything is guessed, you can sing the sound [a] to everyone with different musical tones.

Alphabet

This game is almost endless. The age of the players is not limited, the number of participants ranges from 4 to 10 people. Can be played in several ways.

1. The host thinks of some letter, mentally listing the alphabet, until the player for whom this letter is intended says “stop”. The host calls the letter on which he stopped, and the player remembers the line from the song for this letter. The leader changes after all the players have gone around the circle. The shift can be carried out in two ways, the next player becomes the leader or the most active and musical participant is selected.

2. The presenter simply says the letter, and the rest take turns performing a line from the songs for the hidden letter. The leader change occurs after all players sing one line from the song, and the best player becomes the leader.

3. There is no leader, the first player mentally pronounces the alphabet, the second stops him and sings a line for the letter on which the leader stopped, then he does the same for the next player, and so on in a circle. Songs cannot be repeated, for one round they must be on the same topic, or you can choose one performer or performer.

4. There is no leader, the first song is guessed, as in the previous version, and the subsequent ones are performed on the letter that the previous one ended with. If the song ends with a soft sign or with "y", then the previous letter is taken as the basis. Similarly, you can play "names": there are songs in which they are mentioned. You can play, taking only male or only female names as a basis. Who hesitated, is out of the game. If 3 people in a row cannot remember the song with the name, then the game ends and the theme changes.

Question answer

The game is designed for children from 10 years old, the number of players must be at least 6. The game develops memory, attentiveness, speed of reaction, concentration. The host asks the song question: “Where are you?” Players must remember songs that indicate possible locations. “In an open field, in an open field ...”, “On a sunny meadow ...”. Each player must submit their own version of the answer, and if someone fails, he is out of the game. The host changes if he runs out of questions. He is replaced by the player who was the last to answer the question. Another change can occur if there is 1 player left who will answer the song questions, and all the rest will leave the game.

Palms-palms

The age of the players is from 8 years old, the number is at least 5 people. The game develops hearing, erudition, attention. The host claps the motive of the planned song, and the players must guess it and perform it. If several people have guessed the song at once, the presenter guesses a more complex melody or chooses the player who performed the song best of all. In any case, you can not drive more than 3 times. An exception is the case when for the third time the song is not guessed by any player. With this option, you can repeat it again and only after that think of the next one. The song can be clapped with the palms of your hands, stamped with your foot, or tapped with a pencil or other object on the table. Only those songs are guessed that are known to all or almost all participants in the game. It is better not to take old, unfamiliar songs, because they are very difficult to guess.

Seasons

This game is similar to the previous one, but with the only difference that you can only sing songs that mention the seasons or natural phenomena (rain, snow, etc.). The game develops the memory and attention of the participants. The host thinks of a topic (winter, summer, rain, etc.). Players must remember as many songs as possible on a given topic and sing them (in turn). Those who lost their way, did not remember the songs, are eliminated from the game. The host can, in addition to the topic, think of a specific song on this topic (without informing the players about it), and the one who performs it becomes the host. If this song is not performed, the presenter remains the same. You can play in another way: the leader thinks not only of the theme, but also the number of songs where this theme is reflected. This increases the time of the game and its possible options. In addition, with a certain number of songs, it is not always possible to guess the one that the presenter himself has guessed for himself.

round dance

Only children's songs can be used here. The number is at least 4 people. Children stand in a round dance (in a circle), hold hands and begin to move. The leader sings a song, the next line is sung by the one standing next to the leader (on the side in which the round dance moves), this continues until the song ends. The one who sang the last line sings a new song. Only the chorus or verse may be sung if the number of players is limited. So the game will involve more songs in a shorter period of time.

The game becomes more difficult if the age of the players allows it. The round dance can be led in different directions, depending on this, the song will be performed either correctly or from the end to the beginning. If the round dance goes clockwise, then the song is performed as expected, if it is counterclockwise, it is performed from the end. In this case, you also need to quickly respond and not stray from the line. Whoever sings the wrong line is out of the game. Moving in the opposite direction, you can only sing the song that has already been performed correctly so that the participants can remember it all. The songs that are familiar to everyone are selected.

Roulette

In this game, a certain number of participants (even), not less than 4 people. Participants are divided into pairs. Each pair thinks of a line from the song. Then the partners show it in the form of pantomime, the rest must guess what it is about. The pair that guesses correctly must sing not only the demonstrated line, but the whole song, and this must be done together, otherwise the winnings will not be counted. The guessing couple continues the game, showing their line from the song.

You can guess both the first line of the song, and from the middle of the verse or chorus. It is impossible to repeat songs: if the hidden song has already been sounded, then the couple should consult and think of another one. If the line was guessed by several pairs at once, the leading pair either chooses the players to perform the song, or re-guesses the line. The game can be made a little more difficult by thinking of theme songs or songs of certain artists.

festivities

The Russian people have long loved to noisily celebrate holidays. Not a single celebration was complete without cheerful songs. But, in addition to the fact that our ancestors performed numerous songs with pleasure, they also played each other very successfully. We offer a game that matches the entertainment of our great-grandparents in terms of practical jokes and music. Participants are divided into two teams, each of which should choose a captain. A person with a good sense of humor and groovy abilities is best suited for this role. So, when the preliminary preparations are over, the game begins. Team captains go to the middle of the room and turn on cheerful music.

It is desirable that this was not a song composition, but just a melody. Then the captains take turns singing any song, trying to make it correspond to the given music, i.e. they take the text of some popular song work and sing it to the music they have chosen. Since this choice is made by the captains themselves, then, as a rule, the first competition takes place in a rather serious atmosphere. But in the future, everything changes. Because when the captains finish their drink, they call one player from their teams and explain that they need to repeat what they just did. The unsuspecting players, of course, assume that they will, like the captains, sing the same song to the same melody. But in reality, things will be a little different. When the naive players go to the middle of the room and take the sheets of paper with the text, they will also be played a melody ... only not the one that has already sounded, but a completely different one. And it will absolutely not correspond to either the lyrics of the song or the melody that sounded for the first time. Will it be easy for the players to sing the lyrics of the lullaby to the music of the macarena?

Musical comedy

This game is something like civilized jousting tournaments. Participants are representatives of the strong half of humanity. The rules of the game are that the "valiant knights" will have to demonstrate some kind of musical number in their performance - a song or dance to the music. The jury determines which number is worthy of the prize. Ladies can also take part in its performance, who will help their gentlemen. It is possible to hold a second round of the competition.

It will be won by the couple that knows how to dance best of all. So, the tape recorder is turned on, and first fast music is put on, then, after about 1 minute, slow music, and then a song performed by a Russian pop singer. The dancers must quickly navigate the change in the rhythm of the accompaniment and adapt to the music so that their dance is coherent and harmonious. For each couple it is necessary to include different music. The jury chooses a couple that will cope with this better than others.

dance number

The next game is a competition for the best dance. Preliminary preparations consist in the fact that everyone who wants to take part in it must be divided into two teams numbering from 3 to 8. Each team must think over its number, that is, a collective dance. Judges will be judged, who should be selected in advance. Of course, in order for the dance number to be the way it should be, musical accompaniment is necessary. Participants themselves determine what kind of melody they would like to accompany their dance - a recording of popular music, classical works or, on the contrary, avant-garde music.

In general, here again a fair amount of imagination is needed. The host can act as artistic director. And of course, he needs to keep track of the time allotted for the preparation of the dance. The best option is to prepare for 10-15 minutes. You can prepare a dance specially for a certain date, like a concert number. In its own way, this is also a game that all cheerful people will surely appreciate. By the way, the dances themselves can be comic, which is only welcome.

Musical instrument

The leader makes up a musical “instrument” from five children, helps them come up with the sound and tonality of their instrument. Children are divided into groups of 6 people each. Five of the children will become an "instrument" and one will become a "musician". The leader starts working with one of the groups, the rest observe. One of the players lies down on the floor. The leader asks the player what sound they would like to become? Then he asks to reproduce the sound he has chosen and remember its sound, since he will have to sing the sound many times during the game and do it the same way all the time. Now the next student joins.

The leader asks him to lie perpendicular to the student, who is already lying, and put his head on his stomach. Then he asks him what sound he would like to become? And also asks to sing this sound. Five children are located on the floor in a "ladder" - so that each next one puts his head on the stomach of the previous one, and before that they demonstrate their sound. Next, the leader shows how to "play this instrument." When he touches his forehead, the student begins to sing his sound until the leader removes his hand. Thus, he has to play only one note. If the leader “plays” with both hands, it means that he will be able to extract 2 sounds from the “instrument” at once, possibly different in length. The leader demonstrates the different possibilities of the "instrument" and transfers the role of the musician to the sixth student. Then he helps the rest of the groups to form their "instruments". In this game, you need to ensure that as many children as possible are "musicians".

Dance compositions

Option 1. The presenter puts on an audition some melody taken from a song, from a classic work, a movie. The participants in the game must come up with dance moves to this melody and demonstrate the dance, so all players are divided into small groups of 5-8 people or split into pairs if the dance requires it. Each group leader gives the task to use a certain size of the dance. For example, the waltz is in three beats, the polka is in two beats, and the march is in four beats. For those who do not know the size of the dances, the leader explains that in the three-beat measure, the first beat is strong, the next is weaker, the last is the weakest; in dicotyledonous: the first is strong, the second is weak; in quadruple: the first share is the strongest, the second is weaker than the first, but stronger than the third, the third is much weaker than the second and the last is the weakest. But in all dimensions, the last share should tend to the next one, pass into it. Children must take into account the rhythm and pace of the dance.

Movements can be very different, depending on the melody. But in any case, the dance should trace the plot improvised by the participants. If the melody is taken from a classical work with an abstract theme, for example, from “Fantasy” (D minor) by W. A. ​​Mozart, then the participants are given the opportunity to show their creative abilities - to come up with a plot or borrow it from some fairy tale, movie, literary work. Option 2. The participants of the game are divided into two groups of several people (5-6). One group shows the movements of the dance given by the leader, and the second composes the musical accompaniment. Movements can consist of jumps, jumps and dashes. The second group must come up with musical melodies for two dances. In order to pick up the music, you need to know that jumping, for example, is a characteristic movement of a gallop, and jumps and dashes are used in polka. The leader can set the tone, and the participants must describe to the leader the movement of music or try to play a musical instrument. For example, jumps are more characteristic of sharp turns in music (chords, jumps by a certain interval, for example, up or down an octave, etc.), rhythmic performance, fast tempo. For jumps and dashes, the tempo can be chosen to be more moderate, step-by-step melody, no sharp turns. Then the first group begins to dance to the given melody. If the children fail to move to the beat, the second group is considered the winner.

Associations

For school children. The leader puts the selected melodies (3-4, no more). These can be excerpts from classical works, for example, from the cycle “The Seasons” by P. I. Tchaikovsky, “Winters” by Vivaldi, “Moonlight” or “Pathetic” by Beethoven. Children should listen to music and write down the thoughts and feelings they have while listening, associatively. The result should be a small essay (5-6 lines). Perhaps someone will come up with a poem, draw a small picture.

Listening time 5-7 min. If one time is not enough, the presenter plays the melody again. Then the leader gives the recording to be listened to again, and each of the participants in the game reads his composition during the music. But by all means you need to adjust to the music and read to the beat, reflecting the musical touches and nuances with your voice (piano, forte, crescendo - gradual strengthening, diminuendo - gradual weakening). In a word, the coloring of the voice needs to convey the mood, show the climaxes that will match the melody.

Interpretation

Designed for the age of players from 6 years. Children are divided into 6 people in a team. Each comes up with a name associated with music, appoints a captain who chooses one of the proposed tasks. The task is the text of a famous song, children's or modern pop. The team must remake the selected song, interpret it in its own way: completely or partially change the text and, accordingly, the title. In addition, a certain theme for the song is proposed (school, love, kindness, art, nature, etc.), which can be expanded or narrowed at the request of the participants, which will be underlined in the title; the tempo of the song can be different: allegro (fast), vivo (lively), sostenuto (seasoned), largo (wide), adagio (slow), etc.

The task is performed by the whole team, in chorus, while the captain acts as a conductor. At his discretion, the "choir" can be divided into female and male voices, low (bass, alto) and high (mezzo-soprano, soprano); the team can choose a soloist. Here, children are given creative freedom, the opportunity to dream up, show their acting skills, beat the song in the form of a small scene. The head and the members of the jury selected from the guys evaluate both teams. In terms of duration, the game can take 30-40 minutes or more: it all depends on the abilities of the children, their individual qualities.

Rainbow

The music director says: “It rained and a rainbow appeared in the sky (shows a card with 5 musical lines painted in 7 colors, with notes located on them). The 7 colors of the rainbow correspond to the 7 notes. To see a rainbow, you need to sing the scale (plays the scale in C major, naming each color and distributing the colors among the children).

The first note in C is red, the main one; the second is re-orange, unstable; mi - yellow; fa - green, also basic, but not very stable; salt - blue, basic, unstable; la - blue; si - violet, unstable, always goes into the main one. The leader explains that you need to “sing a rainbow” with vowel sounds, each color has its own vowel sound: red - [a], orange - [a]< [о] (дети поют звук [а], при этом немного огубляя его), желтый - [у], зеленый [о], голубой - [о] (с призвуком [у]), синий - [и], фиолетовый [э] < [а], красный (до второй октавы) - [а]. Каждый ребенок поет своим звуком. Когда первые 8 человек споют, начинают петь следующие 8. Дети могут петь все вместе.

circus dogs

For this game, as a visual aid, 2 cards are needed, which show ladders made of cubes, circus dogs jump on them. Each step has its own color and corresponds to a certain sound (starting from the bottom up: do, re, mi, fa, salt, la, si). The following cards are also needed for the game: 1) a complete scale is drawn; 2) a sequence of 5 sounds going up: do-sol; 3) a sequence of 5 sounds going down: salt-do; 4) a sequence of 3 sounds of a major triad: do-mi-sol; 5) a sequence of 3 sounds of a major triad going from top to bottom: sol-mi-do; 6) 2 sounds of different heights: up (first octave) - up (second octave). There may be more tasks. The host invites the children to become "circus dogs". Each player receives a task card. “Here, the dog ran up the stairs and stopped on the yellow step (note si),” the host says, showing a card with a ladder leading up, along which the dogs jump.

The player who has a full scale drawn on the card sings the scale to the sound a (domjor). “Then the dog ran down and stopped on the red step (note up to the first octave),” the teacher continues and shows a card with a ladder leading down. The participant, who has a full scale drawn on the card in reverse order, sings the scale to the sound a from top to bottom. “4 cubes were taken from the ladder: orange (note D), blue (note F), purple (note la) and yellow (note si). There are only three cubes left. The dog will have to jump from the red cube (do) to the green one (mi), from green to blue (sol), ”the host says, closing 4 cubes on the ladder leading up so that a triad is obtained. Children whose card shows a sequence of 3 sounds going up sing a major triad (do, mi, sol) to the sound a. So is the case with the card, which shows a ladder leading down. Then the leader closes 5 cubes on the ladder, and the children, who have a sequence of 5 sounds drawn on the cards, sing them step by step up or down; now the host leaves only the red cube (up to the first octave) and puts the pink one (up to the second octave), and the children sing 2 sounds of different heights, forming an interval of 8 steps (octave). The leader makes sure that the children sing the sounds of different tonalities cleanly. If the “dog” “stumbles” on any step, she needs to return to the original one and repeat the task.

Competition!

“The final stage should be a game that brings out the best of your company of aspiring singing stars. Of course, you already have experience, and you can name those who sing well without competition. But here the whole point is which program will be chosen. Every self-respecting vocal competition has a specific program. Of course, there are competitions where each of the participants submits their original song. But we suggest that you hold a competition in which one song will be mandatory for everyone, and one can be chosen arbitrarily, that is, at the request of the contestant. Here, on the compulsory program, it may turn out that the best is not the one you usually considered, but someone else. The obligatory song should not, of course, be too complicated, but you should not stop at too simple either. It is unlikely that you will be able to choose a song that everyone loves very much, but that's the point - to sing well what you don't really like, but in such a way that others like it. And what you like, you can sing as the second number in the optional program. To add solemnity to your competition, you can draw lots for the numbers under which the participants will perform, so that everything is like in a real competition.

For the program of this competition, you can offer the following songs: “Autumn Leaves”, “Somewhere in the World”, from the films “Seventeen Moments of Spring”, “Girls”, “Carnival Night”, etc. But if you like some others songs, please decide. By the way, the competition must also have a real jury. You can invite your parents or friends. In any case, the number of singing participants should not be excessive, otherwise you will just have to sit and listen and listen and listen all day long. Your company can simply be divided into two parts - the jury and the contestants. Next time you can change (we think no one will be deprived). The last section of our chapter is games that develop musical memory. As you have probably already seen, not always those who memorize poems, phone numbers, or even just jokes are not always able to quickly and accurately remember and reproduce a musical motive. As you know, the great German composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had a phenomenal memory. From childhood, he showed an absolute ear for music and an absolute musical memory, although such a thing does not exist. Once a rather curious incident happened to him. He stole the tune! And who! At the city! Every year in the church of a German town a service was held, at which a play written for the organ was played especially for this day. The notes of this piece belonged to the magistrate, and no one but the organist could see, play and rewrite them. But don't forget: those who sing should not judge others. These are completely different areas, and they should not intersect. Mozart, who was 8 years old by that time, was present at the service and, having come home, performed it entirely from memory and wrote it down without a single mistake. The next morning, when he played this work to his father, the famous musician Leopold Mozart, he was at first afraid, because they could be accused of theft. But, on reflection, he decided to use this opportunity for his own good. He rewrote this play in beautiful handwriting and presented it on the same day to the archbishop of this town - as a sign of his son's genius giftedness. Such talent is very rare, and we, of course, will not set such difficult tasks for you, especially since for this you need to know musical notation. But to check how good your musical memory is, and try to develop it a little - this is our goal with you. By the way, all previous games also used this human ability to memorize sounds. And in rhythm games, and even more so in games related to singing, memory is always present and, we hope, has already gone through some training. But almost all previous songs were associated with voice data, which, of course, not everyone is up to par. And the last section, devoted exclusively to memory, may help to rehabilitate, that is, simply recoup, those who could not prove themselves worthy earlier.

Water procedures

One of the options for rhythm games is a game that prepares children to memorize the simplest melodies. It also needs some preparation. You need to take several (5-7) glasses, preferably the same and with not too thick walls. Fill them with water and hit the glass with a metal stick to check what sound they make. Try not to strike too hard, so as not to break the glasses and not drop them, but at the same time so that the sound is as clear as possible. Each glass should "sound" in its own way. Even if it is not too melodic and harmonious, the main thing is that the sounds are clearly distinguished by ear. The task of the players in this case is much more complicated. Now they should already remember not just the timbres, but also the pitch of each of the glasses. It is better if, before the start of the game, they are lined up as they rise in height, so that the left of the performer is low in sound, and the right is high. It would be quite good if one of the most "advanced" players could tune this entire range according to the musical scale.

But even if this does not work out, do not be upset, try to follow the direction: remember in which direction the subsequent sound changed, was it higher or lower than the previous one. And just try to repeat the given rhythm as accurately as possible, while the melody is not the main thing for you. Examples of rhythmic patterns can be taken from the previous ones. So, we have learned to catch and remember the rhythm. Now let's try to start solving a more complex problem: games that develop ear for music and memory. Ears are a rather complex device that requires careful tuning. But don't let difficulties stop you. You must know for sure: everyone has a hearing, only one has it, as it were, “lying on the surface”, while the other one is hidden inside, and it needs to be “extracted” very carefully and persistently from there.

If the sense of rhythm is inherent in a person by nature itself (after all, the most basic rhythm is the beating of our heart), then everything is much more false with the pitch of sound. Often, those about whom they say that elephants walked over their ears simply do not have a voice. The voice either breaks down during adolescence or has not had time to develop. Usually they simply do not know how to use their voice, but at the same time they hear that the singing is not very correct. But after all, this person’s ears are in order, hearing controls the voice, but sometimes it cannot help. The games that we will offer you will help you test yourself and the state of your hearing in terms of music and pitch.

Carnival

Well, now let's try to master the rhythms of Latin America. We are all familiar with such words as samba, rumba. After all, the popular macarena dance is also based on Latin American rhythms. Hearing them, we immediately imagine hot Latin Americans in sombreros, with guitars and with such rustling balls on the handles (they are called maracas). For this game, children will need new tools, and they will have to make their own hands. To make one of them, you need to fill a simple soda can with some small loose objects - rice, sand or small pebbles - and carefully seal the hole with tape or plaster. The prototype of this instrument is the Latin American chocalo instrument, which is a kind of wooden cylinder. Another instrument is reminiscent of the guiro, which in its homeland is made from dried gourds. To make this tool, it is enough to pour peas or dried olive seeds into the same tin can, seal the hole, and the product is ready. If anyone has children's maracas, it means that a kind of Latin American ensemble is almost at full strength. A tambourine and a drum are also not superfluous. The chocalos, guiros, and maracas should be played by making sounds with shaking or rocking movements. You can not shake the chocalo, but rotate it around the axis, then its contents make a quiet rustle. Now we need any melody in the rhythm of samba, rumba, tango or bossa nova. Surely someone from your company has a tape recorder: such modern performers as Alsou (her famous single with Enrique Iglesias) have songs in the rhythms of Latin American dances. You can also use the famous Macarena. The game is to, having previously trained, try to "join" the sound of a pre-prepared song or composition. Try to match the sounds of your instruments exactly with the "beats" of the sounding music, with drum beats or bass guitar sounds. It is not difficult to play such a simple rhythm on a tambourine and a drum, but on a guiro or maracas you will not succeed at once, since such simple-looking instruments require great skill and a sense of rhythm. But with effort, you will feel that your group of "musicians" becomes a real Mexican orchestra or participants in the Brazilian carnival. If you don't find the recording you need, you can use any melody that is close in rhythm, some song by Britney Spears or songs by the Spleen group (for example, "My Heart"). You can even find a humorous effect in the combination of songs that do not quite fit in style with such specific accompaniment (now many bands are experimenting with mixing styles). Connect the sound of your percussion ensemble to the melodies of groups such as Tatu, Hands Up, Ivanushki International, etc. Try it, see what happens.

Just a few years ago, active contests were popular at anniversaries and weddings, where guests had to run, jump and even lift weights. Now the guests do not want to perform unnecessary movements, they prefer to relax and enjoy the holiday. How then to entertain guests? New music competitions for a fun company will help you, in which guests will do things to cheerful music that will cause laughter and fun. With such competitions, your holiday will be a great success, and you will get maximum pleasure.

An interesting contest - guess the song.
Yes, many people know this contest, but we suggest you play it a little differently. as? Like this: the presenter shows a smiley, and the guests must choose the most suitable song for him. This game is based on the example of a game from one of the popular TV shows, which is on the first channel.
Here are emoticons for an example and for the contest:

Competition - conductor.
Do you know what a conductor is? This is a man who, with a wave of his hands, makes the musicians play a beautiful melody. And our conductor will make the guests sing!
The essence of the competition is simple and clear. Guests come out in the amount of 5-9 people. They stand in one line, and opposite them is the host, who will be the conductor. Any well-known song without words is included, that is, karaoke. And the guests begin to sing it in chorus, while the conductor waves his arms, as if showing who is in charge here. As soon as the conductor stops waving his arms, the guests should stop singing. More specifically, they should sing the song to themselves. Indeed, after a while, the conductor will again begin to wave his hands, and the guests will have to continue to sing.
The conductor's task is to confuse the guests and therefore he needs to change the rhythm of his movements.

Musical competition - the question is the answer.
Teams participate in the competition. Each team has 3-7 members. The bigger, the better. The game is played according to the following rules: the first team sings a line from any song. But not just a line, but a question line. For example, "what have you done, put on a white dress." And the second team must, after 20-30 seconds, answer the question with a line from another song, for example, "Am I to blame for my voice trembling."
The task of teams is funnier to answer questions.
For example:
- why are you standing swaying, white rowan ...
The answer is:
- the wind from the sea blew, the wind from the sea blew ...

Competition - drunken songs.
This competition will be very popular with all guests, especially those who are already tipsy. The task is simple - remember the songs. In which any alcoholic drink is mentioned. For example:
- a glass of vodka on the table ...
- if the sea were beer ...
Etc. And it's not easy to remember, but also to sing a song in karaoke.

Music competition - the end of the song.
For the competition, you need to prepare cards on which the last lines of songs and verses will be recorded. It's the last lines! We divide the guests into teams of 3-4 people and play. Each team takes out one card and reads their ending to the song. Their task is to remember what kind of song it is and sing it from beginning to end. If you can’t sing, then just name the song.

Competition - show the song.
This competition is known to everyone and many have already played it. But, nevertheless, interest in the competition does not disappear. The main thing in the competition is to choose interesting lines from the songs.
And it's easy to play. On the cards, write the lines from the songs you want to show. The guests take out cards and show this song in action. And the guests must guess what they are shown.
Sample songs to show:
- and I recognize the sweetheart by his gait.
- my grandmother smokes a pipe.
- do not put salt on my wound.
- What did you do, put on a white dress.
- I will move to London.

For art teachers, the task of versatile development of children, their creative abilities, the formation of self-education skills, self-realization of the individual is especially significant.

The music lesson is inherently a complex lesson, which includes:

Hearing;

learning;

execution;

challenging;

For me, the main thing in music lessons is a piece of music that will not let you forget about yourself, as well as songs that children enjoy playing. Such information about composers, which is able to interest children, such game forms that cause a desire to fantasize.

Everyone knows the importance of the game, the game beginning, in the development of a person. An even more well-known fact is the fascination with the toy and the game inherent in modern society. Everyone and everything plays. Our duty, as teachers, is to teach not only to play, but also to organize these games, independently develop rules, content, etc.

Forms can be very different: from acquaintance with existing games and trainings - to a collective composition under the guidance of a teacher.

All the rest repeat the movements after him. As soon as the music changes, the next player becomes the leader, standing, for example, to the right of the first. His task is to express new dance music in movements, and everyone else will repeat after him.

Dancing continues until all the guests try themselves as dance masters.

Whoever did not get the “ticket”, that “hare” performs some task.
