The gymnast was of medium height, stocky and broad-shouldered. Original ways of giving gifts

It's nice to give gifts. It is doubly pleasant to receive them. Triple - to receive so that then excitedly tell how unusual the gift fell into the hands. Not only children dream of surprises and miracles! In a childish world, where a New Year's miracle is a sale of gifts with a 70% discount and a table free from corporate events in a cafe, we dream of adventure. Well, or at least about intrigues, scandals, investigations.

So how to organize a New Year's gift giving ceremony for adult family members and guests not only solemnly, but also fun? We offer several ways.

Find me if you can (New Year's quest)

Collect all the gifts in one place in advance, but this place was not easy to find. Block the path to gifts with messages for guests: let each one tell the seekers where the next is hidden. Announce that Santa Claus came, brought gifts, but didn't just give them away, but hid them, and only the most daring-smart-beautiful will be able to find them. Better just make a reservation that you don't need to turn the apartment upside down, but just use the prompts. By the way, about hints: they can be very different - riddles, crosswords, pictures, puzzles, rebuses, words with rearranged letters, tasks such as “connect by dots”, etc.

Hints:

first, outline the places in which you will hide the clues, then think about how to beat these places;
it turns out to be especially interesting when the recipients of the gifts guess the place, but they don’t know how to get a hint from there;
try to "connect" the tasks with stories known only to your loved ones, and the New Year's quest will become a sincere and truly family one.

Promising is not getting married (New Year's promises)

Do your guests like to start life with a clean slate, and therefore every year with three boxes? Come up with funny promises and put them in a hat or Christmas-style box, and then announce to the guests that they will receive their gifts only after they draw out the “promises” at random and solemnly vow to keep them all year round.

hint: avoid promises that are too serious! They must be either really funny, or completely unrealistic, or very simple to perform.

For example:

"I promise to feed the cat every day at 3 in the morning (even if she is against)"
"I promise to kiss my wife / husband on the nose before leaving for work"
"I solemnly vow to take the trash out of the house after only 5 requests"
"I promise to wake up the whole family (and neighbors) in the morning with cheerful ku-ka-re-ku"

Guess the gift

Write the names of the gifts on the cards. Attach these cards on the forehead of the guests to whom the gifts are intended, so that the guests see other people's “gifts”, but not their own. Announce that everyone will receive gifts if and only if they are guessed right. To avoid pointing your finger at the sky every time, allow guests to ask yes / no questions. Questions about your gift can be asked as long as the answer is “yes”, but as soon as others answer “no”, the right to become an “interrogator” passes to the next guest.

hint: the game will be more fun if the gifts are unusual (and certainly not ordered in advance!)

Cut once (New Year's lottery)

If the gifts are not targeted, universal, then wrap them in opaque wrapping paper and hang them on long ropes / ribbons to one common (and strong) rope. Blindfolded guests with a scarf or bandage for sleeping and send them with scissors in hand to get yourself a gift.

hint: It will be more fun if you play a little on the recipients - for example, package small gifts as if they are large.

Roll, ball (New Year's adventure)

Take colored ribbons or laces, tie them to gifts, and then carry them throughout the apartment and mix them up. Give the other ends of the ribbons to the lucky recipients of the gifts.

Hints:

such a presentation will succeed if the guests are not in the apartment for some time - so either give them the guiding threads as soon as they cross the threshold, or send them out into the yard in the midst of the holiday - dance around the Christmas tree;
hand the ends of the ribbons either to the address (“red - to mom, there is a cosmetic set at the end, blue - to dad, a subscription to a football magazine awaits him”), or randomly, for example, invite the guests to choose the colors of the ribbons themselves (so giving gifts will “grow” intrigue).

Guess the quote - get a gift (New Year's quiz)

Lay out all the gifts (preferably wrapped) in a spectacular slide, take out one at a time and offer to compete for it: the one who is the first to be smart will receive the gift. Find famous ones on the Internet - let the gift applicants guess which movie a particular quote is from.

Hints:

in case the quotes go “tight”, stock up - they will somehow be guessed;
presentation can be made more targeted: the guest guesses the source of the quote and receives a gift intended specifically for him;
the lucky ones who have already named the correct answers are eliminated from the gift race.

Santa Claus has come! (New Year's performance)

Get a Santa Claus costume, dress up a male guest in it and invite the rest of the guests to “deserve” gifts - tell New Year's rhymes or fairy tales, sing New Year's songs or even dance New Year's dances (whatever that may be).

hint: the newly made Santa Claus receives a gift automatically - for his outstanding acting skills.

Adult children of Captain Grant (search for treasure on the map)

Draw a map (accurate or very arbitrary), mark the hidden treasure on it (read: gifts) and invite guests to find it.

hint: you can complicate the task - give the guests not a map, but a compass and a search algorithm (“from the front door 5 steps to the north, then 3 steps to the west”, etc.)

FANTomas is back (forfeits with prizes-gifts)

Come up with fun tasks and invite guests to draw forfeits: for the completed task, a well-deserved New Year's gift is given.

Hints:

tasks may be different, but by no means serious - for example, in any way to recreate the chimes; climb onto a chair and officially announce to everyone present that Santa Claus is coming soon; depict a freshly opened bottle of champagne; eat a couple of lemon slices without frowning; in five seconds, name all the ingredients of the Olivier salad, etc.;
pulling the forfeits can be "refined" - put the notes-forfeits in the balloons in advance, inflate them, and at the holiday invite the guests to choose "their" balloon and get the phantom out of it without using their hands.

What grows on the tree (New Year's lottery)

Attach number cards to the tree, and place gifts under the tree. Invite guests to choose a card, then find the one marked with the same number among the gifts.

Hints:

it is better if the gifts are "anonymous", i.e. packed the same;
cards can be attached (tied, glued) to the same Christmas balls. So the guests will not only stay with gifts, but also keep the memory in the form of a Christmas ball about the unusual holiday.

Whom I love - I give (New Year's lottery)

When inviting guests to a holiday, instruct them to prepare one gift, and then play a raffle who will receive whose gift: for this you can write two sets of cards with names and simultaneously pull them out of two hats (one - "from whom", the second - "to whom") ...

Hints:

it will come out funny if someone gets their own gift;
it is better to negotiate the marginal cost of gifts in advance;
it is not forbidden to exchange gifts for everyone's pleasure after distribution.

What? Where? Who? (New Year's quiz)

Prepare riddles about gifts in advance - and hand them over to the addressees only after they guess what they will receive.

hint: it will be better if the gifts are not from the "how to call it easier" series, but even if it is a depilator or an iPhone - do not give up, compose a riddle yourself.

And the Oscar goes to… (New Year's awards)

Jokingly describe each guest without mentioning their name. Read the “resume” of the applicant for the gift to the guests and hand it over when the name is guessed correctly.

Come up with a few “stations” and assign those responsible. Among the stations there may be Tantsulkino, Golosyatovo-Pevcheskaya, UmZaRazumovo, ZOZhinskaya and others. Each guest will have to “earn” points (tickets, snowflakes), which they can then exchange for gifts at the fair.

hint: collective creativity counts! If each of the ten guests at each station will sing-dance-squat solo, the celebration and the presentation of gifts will be greatly delayed.

"Safety Technique"

Not every guest will be happy to sing, dance and compose poetry for the sake of a gift that he has not even seen. There is always a risk of getting screwed up - ruining the mood for both yourself and your guests. How to recognize people for whom New Year's games are contraindicated (and just give them a gift)?

Earn one point for each statement that characterizes your guest or guest N:

you have never and under no circumstances seen N sing, dance in company, or at least tell a joke
N rarely and sparingly smiles and does not like to laugh at all, does not watch comedies, comedy shows and KVN competitions
N never tried to prank you on April 1st
N always gives only practical gifts, he carefully found out in advance what kind of gift you want, or generally takes the choice and delivery of gifts very seriously
N hates corporate events and team buildings
N reacts painfully to criticism
n has no children (and has no plans to have them at all)
N does not like to play - cards, board games, tanks
N painfully shy
N uncomfortable (mini, heels, tight, etc.) or very expensively dressed
N pathological cleanliness
N is very hungry and in a hurry to start eating

If 3 or more statements accurately describe your guest, he should only be involved in giving gifts as an objective observer. If among your guests there are those who fit 1-2 descriptions, then postpone the "gift games" for a later time - when your guests have a meal, raise a couple of toasts, get to know each other and relax.

Damir Sadrtdinov, showman, host and event organizer, founder of the Artefact event company: “In a world where time is valuable, I think it will be a miracle to gather the whole family and loved ones. Naturally, you want to please them, but it is not enough just to choose gifts and please (also that is another task!), You also need to turn the giving of gifts into a game, and the holiday itself into a New Year's miracle. I still remember New Yearwhen my uncles organized the arrival of Santa Claus with a real three horses and in a sleigh, and a miracle was the moment when Grandfather Frost, having handed everyone gifts, having played with both children and adults, said that he would meet that New Year with us. It turned out that it was our uncle from Kaliningrad, whom we had not seen for over 5 years!

How to present gifts in an original way? There are many ways, the main thing is to fantasize! You can hide gifts in the room and play around famous game "Hot-Cold". In my circle of friends, I used to give prizes-gifts through the auction system for strange dances. This year, my colleagues and I want to try a new way of giving gifts to each other: on the eve of a corporate evening, everyone will draw out a card with a name and will prepare gifts without notifying the addressees. At the holiday we will sign all the gifts and put them under the Christmas tree, and each recipient will have to guess by the gift who prepared it. "

(1) It so happened that for Russia literature is a starting point, a symbol of faith, an ideological and moral foundation, and writers and poets are the masters of thoughts, ideological leaders, bearers of absolute truth, idols and idols. (2) "A poet in Russia is more than a poet" - these words of Yevtushenko define the place of literature in the life of Russian society. (3) "Sick questions", "damned questions", "great questions" - this is how they were characterized throughout the 19th century. those social, philosophical, moral problems that were raised in the works of Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Saltykov-Shchedrina, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov. (4) These questions sounded in "Eugene Onegin" and "A Hero of Our Time", in "Oblomov" and "Thunderstorm", in "Crime and Punishment" and "Who Lives Well in Russia?"

(5) Whatever aspects of life touch the master of the word, from the pages of their creations one could always hear: "who is to blame?", "What to do?" (6) These questions sounded in prose, and in drama, and in poetry. (7) Writers interpreted history, politics, religion, national character in different ways, but passed through the living soul of a living creator, who was a mirror of life, these phenomena became close and understandable to the citizens of their country.

(8) Russian literature of the golden 19th century has become an inseparable unity, a kind of typological community, before which the differences between individual writers recede. (9) They tried to understand how to live so that “it would not be excruciatingly painful for the years spent aimlessly”? (10) What is the meaning and purpose of life? (11) Is a person free to choose life path? (12) Is a person responsible for what happens in the world around him? (13) All these questions are extremely complex, and writers painfully searched for answers to them, since Russian literature was a literature of love, deed and service.

(14) In my opinion, all the most painful questions that troubled 19th century literature were reflected in Leo Tolstoy's epic novel War and Peace. (15) A huge gift and artistic uniqueness allowed Tolstoy to show the life of an entire people, an entire nation, an entire country, whose name is Russia. (16) “To live honestly, you have to struggle, get confused, fight, make mistakes, start and give up, and start again and again give up, and always struggle and lose.

(17) And calmness is a meanness of the soul, ”- such is his life credo.

(18) It is no coincidence that the writer repeated the same prayer all his life:

(19) “Lord! (20) Teach me to live! " (21) It is no coincidence that his writings have become the Bible for an entire generation. (22) It is no coincidence that the critic P.V. Anennkov noted that "rare writers ... are so strongly convinced of the unity of thought and deed as Count L.N.

(23) The main theme of War and Peace is the heroic struggle of the Russian people against the French invaders. (24) But along with the main topic, Lev Nikolaevich posed many global philosophical and moral problems. (25) One of these problems is the search for the meaning of life and its purpose. (26) And the thought of Tolstoy the philosopher largely determined the thought of Tolstoy the artist. (27) "People are like rivers ..." - he said, emphasizing with this comparison the immensity, complexity of the human soul, the variability and continuous development of inner life, since the writer is primarily interested in the path of human spiritual development, the path leading to the moral ideal. (28) The spiritual beauty of Lev Nikolaevich's favorite heroes is manifested in continuous internal struggle thoughts and feelings, in a tireless search for the meaning of life, in dreams of activities for the benefit of the people.

Rule: Task 5. The use of paronyms

Paronyms are words that are similar in sound, but differ (partially or completely) in meaning.

Sometimes in our speech there are words that are similar in sound, but differ in shades of meaning or completely different in semantics. Among the lexical errors caused by ignorance of the exact meaning of a word, the most common errors associated with non-delimitation, or mixing of paronyms.

The linguistic term "paronym", which is Greek by its origin, literally means "the same name": Greek. para - the same, onyma - name.

Paronyms can be called both single-root and similar-sounding words, which, for all their similarity, still differ in shades of meaning or denote different realities of reality.

“The analysis of the performance of task 5 showed that the difficulty for 40% of the subjects is not only recognition of the mistake made when using paronyms, but also the selection of a paronym corresponding to the context for editing an example with an error, which reveals narrowness vocabulary examinees. " To help students in the selection of paronyms, a "Dictionary of Paronyms" is published annually. It is not for nothing that it is called a "dictionary", since "Dictionaries" contain thousands of paronyms. Minimum included in the dictionary will be used in CMMs, but learning paronyms for task 5 is not an end in itself. This knowledge will allow you to avoid numerous speech errors in written works.

Please note that the RESHUEEGE tasks contain tasks from previous years, and they contain words not from this list.

Write the word in the form required in the sentence. This requirement is based on the fact that the rules for filling out forms indicate: if a short answer should be a word that is missing in a sentence, then this word must be written in the form (gender, number, case, etc.) in which it should stand in a sentence.
