Developing artistry in children is one of the great ways to identify their creativity and determine the direction in which it is best to develop their creative potential. Does your child like to copy the behavior of acquaintances and friends? Staging entire performances in the courtyard, attracting numerous spectators? Does he often hum or gesticulate?
Small theatrical performances, including short and funny children's skits, can be organized even at home. And if someone’s birthday is coming up, then mini-skits will be great entertainment for everyone who comes to congratulate the birthday person.
Mini performances for children
Usually children are happy to join in the game, they like to transform themselves, copying adults, they accurately notice various nuances in the behavior and habits of people they know. Selecting scenarios for children's party you need to pay attention to the following points:
- The younger the age of the participants, the shorter and simpler the skits should be.
- It is advisable to diversify the repertoire as much as possible: choose not only parodies that are offered for children of any age, but also riddle scenes and quizzes.
- If possible, conduct one or two rehearsals before the start of the performance, tell your child how best to imagine the character he will play.
- If possible, try to use attributes that will make the production more colorful - costumes for the actors, scenery, items necessary during the action. Children can and should be involved in making decorations - this will also give them a lot of pleasure.
Scenes from everyday life
Children enjoy participating in performances that show funny incidents from their daily lives. Here are the simplest and shortest of these scenes.
How many legs?
This scene requires two actors: a boy and a girl. Its plot is quite simple, so it can be successfully played in front of children 4-6 years old.
A mother (girl) came to pick up her baby (boy) from kindergarten. She is in a hurry, so she sits him on a chair and begins to quickly dress him.
He takes the shoe in his hands and says:
- Raise your leg, son.
The boy obediently raises his right leg. Then mom says:
- No, give me another one.
The son raises his left leg. Mom, looking at the shoe, understands that the right foot was needed after all, but automatically repeats:
- No, son, give me the other leg.
Then the boy indignantly says: “Mom, but that’s all! I’ve run out of legs, I don’t have any others!”
This scene is good not only because of its funny plot. When it’s over, you can discuss with the children why the mother could not explain to her son what kind of leg she needed. What would be the best way to structure a conversation so that everyone understands each other the first time?
Whose pants?
This skit will involve two actors - an older girl (teacher) and a younger girl (kindergarten student). The age difference is not a necessary condition for young actresses; you can simply choose a girl who is taller and smaller.
However, it is important to pay attention to the nuances associated with the characteristics of the roles of young performers, because this will make their performance more believable and memorable!
Kindergarten. Children dress up for a walk. The teacher helps the little slow girl Katya get dressed. Katya tries to put on trousers, but she fails. The teacher begins to help her. When the trousers are put on together, Katya suddenly says:
- These are not my trousers...
The teacher, having expressed her indignation as much as possible, begins to pull the baby’s pants back off. This takes some time. After waiting for the teacher to finish undressing her, Katya decides to clarify:
– These are my sister’s trousers, Sveta, they are warm, and my mother always puts them on for me when it’s very cold, like today...

Scenes from the life of schoolchildren
Archimedes the Confused
Physics lesson. The careless student Kolya suffers near the blackboard. The teacher (an older boy or a heavier build) torments Kolya with questions:
- Kolya, tell us about Archimedes. Kolya squints and suffers; he clearly can tell a little about Archimedes:
- Well, it was such an ancient Greek...
Teacher, delighted:
- Is that so? And what did he become famous for?
Kolya, straining even more:
- Well... Once he was swimming in the bathtub... And how he screamed!
What will he scream, Kolya? – the teacher continues to ask leading questions.
"Eureka!" - Kolya says unexpectedly for himself and happily continues:
- It means “found!”
But the teacher does not give up and continues to torment Kolya with questions:
- Well, what did he find there, Nikolai, probably something interesting?
“Probably...” Colin’s enthusiasm disappears. He clearly doesn’t remember what exactly the famous ancient Greek found in his bathtub. Therefore, hesitantly, looking up at the teacher, he tries to find the correct answer:
– Maybe... a washcloth?
Necessary fire
Schoolboy Sasha was going to the store. On the way, he meets a labor teacher, Viktor Petrovich, who is in a hurry.
- Hello, Viktor Petrovich, where are you running, what happened? he asks.
“Oh, Petrov,” the teacher almost cries, “we have a fire, so I’m running, our office caught fire, can you imagine?
Schoolboy Sasha changes his mind about going to the store and runs after the teacher. Running up to the school, they stop and look at the smoke pouring out of the windows of the labor room.
“Here’s Petrov,” the teacher says upsetly, “now there will be no classes for probably a month.”
- What won't happen? – Sasha asks again.
“There will be no classes, Petrov, your stool will never be finished, your stool probably burned down,” Viktor Petrovich reports upset.
- Who got burned? – Sasha insistently clarifies.
- Stool! Yours! - the teacher raises his voice irritably, - And the scoop, which you’ve been making for the second month! I don’t understand, Petrov, are you deaf or something?
“No, Viktor Petrovich, what are you talking about,” says Sasha, and adds more quietly:
“You talk, and I’ll listen, listen, listen...” and rolls his eyes dreamily.
Sketch games
These are a kind of funny mini-performances that are popular not only with children, but also with adults.
"Photo"
One of the variations of this skit game that children of any age enjoy playing.
Progress of the game:
Children are divided into two groups. One group will improvise, the other will guess. Actors from the first group must make a wish for something: an animal, a profession, a natural phenomenon, heroes of their favorite fairy tales, etc.
Having made a guess, the children begin to move, depicting the actions that are inherent in the characters they have guessed, and another group of participants observes and analyzes. At some point the presenter commands: “photo!” and all the actors from the first group freeze in the position they were in at the time of the command.
Participants in the second group must recognize the hidden characters. After that, they change roles with the members of the first group. The task can be complicated over time by asking the children to stage a performance, for example, on the theme of their favorite fairy tales.
Playing in entertaining mini-scenes is a great way of self-expression for children of any age. This type of creativity, like no other, stimulates the development of fantasy and imagination, gives great mood and makes any children's party unforgettable.

Particularly popular with viewers short skits set by children in the camp. They can be staged based on some famous fairy tale, for example, the fairy tale “Kolobok”.
Short funny skits for summer camp
This summer camp miniature features a host, a boy, a bear, a wolf, and a tick.
Leading:
– In one summer camp there lived one boy. And then one day he decided to escape from there. A boy is walking through the forest, and a bear meets him.
Bear:
- Boy, boy, I’ll eat you!
Leading:
- And the boy answers him...
Boy (slapping the bear on the shoulder):
- Eh, bear! I left the counselor, I left the teacher, I left the camp director... And I’ll leave you, clubfoot, even more so!
The surprised bear opens his mouth and follows the boy with his eyes, who calmly leaves him.
The dialogue with the wolf that the fugitive meets occurs in a similar way. But then, in this funny scene for children, he is attacked by evil ticks.
Leading:
– The boy went into a thick, dense thicket, and met there... a gang of ticks.
They surround him from all sides and take him prisoner.
Boy:
- What are you talking about, brothers! I left the counselor...
But the mites tap him on the shoulder and say:
- Eh, boy! We don't care who you left! Here we ourselves are hiding from the sanitary and epidemiological supervision.
This miniature ends with the words of the presenter:
- This is where the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened, well done!
A short skit in a summer camp can be performed by staging the fairy tale “Turnip” on new way. It will be funny if the roles of small characters are played by large guys and vice versa. You can make masks for each of the characters by printing the images on a color printer and gluing them onto cardboard.
Children remember the text of this fairy tale from childhood, which is absolutely would be better suited for this cool camp miniature. The presenter reads it:
- Grandfather planted a turnip. She has grown very, very big.
Grandfather went to pull a turnip. He pulls and pulls, but he can’t pull it out.
Grandfather called grandma. Grandma for grandfather, grandfather for turnip. They pull and pull, but they can’t pull it out.
The grandmother called her granddaughter. The granddaughter for the grandmother, the grandmother for the grandfather, the grandfather for the turnip. They pull and pull, but they can’t pull it out.
The granddaughter called Zhuchka. A bug for a granddaughter, a granddaughter for a grandmother, a grandmother for a grandfather, a grandfather for a turnip. They pull and pull, but they can’t pull it out.
Bug called the cat. A cat for a bug, a bug for a granddaughter, a granddaughter for a grandmother, a grandmother for a grandfather, a grandfather for a turnip. They pull and pull, but they can’t pull it out.
The cat called the mouse. A mouse for a cat, a cat for a bug, a bug for a granddaughter, a granddaughter for a grandmother, a grandmother for a grandfather, a grandfather for a turnip.
They pulled and pulled and pulled out the turnip.
In this short, funny skit, each character will say a short phrase. When the narrator mentions a turnip, the actress playing this role will say: “That’s what I am!”
The rest of the characters in the miniature will speak in a similar way. Grandfather - “Well, Christmas trees!”, Grandmother - “Oh, where are my seventeen years?”, Granddaughter - “It’s not my fault!”, Bug - “Well, that’s a dog’s work”, Cat - “I can’t work without valerian”, mouse - “What kind of zoo is this?”
Another option for the actors’ lines is that the grandfather will say: “Oh, if it weren’t for the Internet, your grandfather would have been a sprinter!” You can give the grandmother the words: “Botox, fitness and lipstick - what else does a grandmother need?” The granddaughter will constantly repeat: “Thicker than a turnip, we can earn more money!” and so on.
The plot of the famous fairy tale in this fun scene for summer camp can be changed or supplemented at your discretion. For example, a scene may include the following plot twists:
- A mouse ran past...
The cat caught the mouse
And she demanded threateningly,
So that she can come to the rescue.
The mouse has nowhere to go
She can't refuse
But the granddaughter and grandmother ran away,
After all, they are afraid of mice.
Funny skits for children about summer camp
***
Children can also act out skits on the theme of life at a summer camp. For example, a sketch about Petya and the goldfish.
Petya Perepelkin sits in front of the aquarium in the living corner. He lowered the fishing rod into it and begged the goldfish:
- Little fish, make me the strongest in the camp, so that I can knock down Vanka Shapkin with one blow! And also make me the most beautiful, so that Tanka Rastyapkina will fall in love with me madly! I also want to become the smartest so that I can defeat everyone in the game “What, where, when”!
Then a counselor appears in this miniature about a children's summer camp. He sees what Petya is doing and says:
- Petya, get away from the fish! She is not magical, but ordinary!
Petya leaves, but then returns and everything repeats again: the counselor comes and asks the boy to leave.
Finally, the fish can’t stand it and also raises its voice:
- That’s it, I’ve been telling this Petya about this for two hours now, but he doesn’t understand a thing! They read Pushkin too much, they give them no peace...
***
The following funny skit about a summer camp involves a counselor and guys. The counselor enters the ward before lights out. The children were glued to their phones. Some people listen to music, others send SMS.
Counselor:
- Everyone handed over their phones to me!
He takes the phones and puts them in a bag. In the morning, the counselor, who is holding his head, complains:
- Monsters!... Before handing over a cell phone, everyone set an alarm clock on it! For 2 nights, 3, 4, 5... and so on until the morning!
***
In another children's skit about camp, a granddaughter and her grandfather talk during parents' day.
A little girl in a pink dress plaintively asks:
- Grandfather, take me away from here.
The grandfather (in a T-shirt, shorts and with numerous tattoos) answers her:
- Granddaughter, camp is camp. The term must be served in full.
***
In another funny miniature, a crowd of hungry children runs into the cafeteria. They see a sign on the door of the dining room: “Lunch will be given out at the right gate of the camp.” The guys run to the right gate, where they also see the inscription: “Lunch will be given out at the left gate of the camp.” A crowd of children runs there...
At this time, the counselor announces over the loudspeaker:
-Attention all units! Lunch is canceled for running around the camp!
Short funny skits for children in the camp can also be staged based on I. A. Krylov’s fables “The Monkey and the Glasses”, “The Squirrel”, “The Crow and the Fox”, “Tit”, “Dragonfly and Ant”, “Quartet”, “Swan” , crayfish and pike."

Scolded someone, what? Vova. “Vova” is a name. This means the case is nominative.
Scolded for what? For bad behavior. Apparently he did something. This means that “behavior” has the instrumental case.
Vova was silent guiltily. This means that here “Vova” has the accusative case.
Well, the “promise,” of course, is in the dative case, since Vova gave it!
That's all!

Andrey (laughing): A folder... under your arm! Well thought out. Yes, your folder won’t fit under your arm, he’s not a cat!
Vovka: Why “my folder”? The folder is dad's. You've forgotten how to speak correctly because of laughter, or what?
Andrey: (winking and tapping his forehead): Ah, I guessed it! Grandfather - under the arm! He himself speaks incorrectly, but he also teaches. Now it’s clear: dad’s folder is your grandfather Kolya! In general, it’s great that you came up with this - funny and with a riddle!
Vova (offended): What does my grandfather Kolya have to do with it? I wanted to tell you something completely different. I didn’t listen to the end, but you laugh and get in the way of talking. And he dragged my grandfather under his arm, what a storyteller he was! I'd rather go home than talk to you.
Andrey (to himself, left alone): And why was he offended? Why tell funny stories if you can't laugh?

7. Sketch "3=7 and 2=5"
Teacher: Well, Petrov? What should I do with you?
Petrov: What?
Teacher: You haven’t done anything all year, you haven’t taught anything. I don’t really know what to put on your report.
Petrov (looking sullenly at the floor): I, Ivan Ivanovich, scientific work was studying.
Teacher: What are you talking about? What kind?
Petrov: I decided that all our mathematics was wrong and... proved it!
Teacher: Well, how, Comrade Great Petrov, did you achieve this?
Petrov: Ah, what can I say, Ivan Ivanovich! It’s not my fault that Pythagoras was wrong and this... Archimedes!
Teacher: Archimedes?
Petrov: And he too, After all, they said that three is only equal to three.
Teacher: What else?
Petrov (solemnly): This is not true! I proved that three equals seven!
Teacher: How is this?
Petrov: But look: 15 -15 = 0. Right?
Teacher: That's right.
Petrov: 35 - 35 =0 - also true. So 15-15 = 35-35. Right?
Teacher: That's right.
Petrov: Let’s take the common factors: 3(5-5) = 7(5-5). Right?
Teacher: Exactly.
Petrov: Hehe! (5-5) = (5-5). This is also true!
Teacher: Yes.
Petrov: Then everything is upside down: 3 = 7!
Teacher: Yeah! So, Petrov, we survived.
Petrov: I didn’t want to, Ivan Ivanovich. But you can’t sin against science...
Teacher: I see. Look: 20-20 = 0. Right?
Petrov: Exactly!
Teacher: 8-8 = 0 - also true. Then 20-20 = 8-8. It is truth too?
Petrov: Exactly, Ivan Ivanovich, exactly.
Teacher: Let’s take out the common factors: 5(4-4) = 2(4-4). Right?
Petrov: Right!
Teacher: Then that’s it, Petrov, I’ll give you a “2”!
Petrov: For what, Ivan Ivanovich?
Teacher: Don’t be upset, Petrov, because if we divide both sides of the equality by (4-4), then 2=5. Is that what you did?
Petrov: Well, let's say.
Teacher: So I put “2”, who cares. A?
Petrov: No, it doesn’t matter, Ivan Ivanovich, “5” is better.
Teacher: Perhaps it’s better, Petrov, but until you prove this, you will have a D for the year, which, in your opinion, is equal to an A!
Guys, help Petrov.

-What did he ride up on, a bicycle?
- No, the skete had a bicycle.
- Which sket?
- Well, there's only one idiot. Yes, you know him, he walks around here with such a snob.
- With whom, with whom?
- Yes, not with whom, but with what, his nose is in the shape of a snob. Well, let me drive the bike, he says. He sat down and scratched.
- Did he have an itch?
- No, he sawed.
- Well, how did you saw it?
- What did you saw?
- Well, is it big?
- How?
- Well, this same schnobel?
- No, the cat had a snob. And the fuse got a black eye, a blast hit him in the head, and he began to wander around. He opened his mitten, and so he jerked.
- Why the mitten, did he get fussy in the winter?
- Yes, there was no winter there, there was a teacher there.
- Teacher, you mean.
- Well, yes, with a black eye, that is, with a great one, no, with coils. But it was the rolling of the bike that made the bike whoop.
- How did you whoop?
- And so, I’m covered. Into small pieces. Do you understand now?
- Understood. I realized that you don’t know the Russian language at all.
- I don’t know how!
- Can you imagine if everyone spoke like you, what would happen?
- What?
- Remember, at Gogol's. “Wonderful is the Dnieper in calm weather, when its full waters freely and smoothly rush through forests and mountains, neither rustling nor thundering. You look and don’t know whether its majestic width is moving or not” and beyond.” Rare bird will fly to the middle of the Dnieper."
- I remember.
- Now listen to how it sounds in your quirky language: “Cool Dnieper in cool weather, when, roaming and showing off, it saws its cool waves through the forests and mountains. "You don't know whether he's sawing or not. A rare bird with a snout will scratch all the way to the middle of the Dnieper. And if it finishes scratching, it will whoop and throw off its hooves." Do you like?
“I like it,” he said and ran, shouting: “Cool Dnieper in cool weather.”
(Lion Izmailov)

Characters: grandmother, boy, radiologist
Radiologist's office: X-ray machine, table, chair. A doctor is sitting at the table.
A little boy and grandmother enter the office.
GRANDMOTHER (pointing to the boy). I've looked through everything and the glasses are nowhere to be found. I think he swallowed them. Just like your grandfather!
RADIOLOGIST (addresses the boy). Have you swallowed granny glasses?
The boy doesn't answer.
GRANDMOTHER. Partisan! Just like your grandfather!
RADIOLOGIST. Are you silent? But now we will enlighten you through and find out everything.
GRANDMOTHER (joyfully). Yep, gotcha! I wish I had something like this at home.
RADIOLOGIST (looks at the picture). Well, well, well... You know... not only does he have glasses here, he also has a wallet with money. I can’t say exactly, but somewhere around three hundred rubles.
GRANDMOTHER. This is not ours, we don’t need someone else’s. The main thing for me is to get glasses, I can’t watch TV without them.
RADIOLOGIST. We'll get it now.
The radiologist approaches the boy, lifts him by the legs and shakes him. Glasses and wallet fall out on the floor.
GRANDMOTHER (grabs her glasses). Thank you very much, doctor. I don’t even know how to thank you. Let me kiss you!
RADIOLOGIST (twists his wallet in his hands). No need. But if possible, I’ll keep the wallet as a souvenir.
GRANDMOTHER. This is not ours, not ours, we don’t need someone else’s.
Grandmother and grandson leave the office.
RADIOLOGIST (loudly). Next!

16. School riddles
Characters: Schoolboy, his friend - Vovka Sidorov
SCHOOLBOY (addressing confidentially to the audience, pointing with his hand at a friend standing nearby):
And Vovka Sidorov from our class is such a slowpoke! I came across interesting riddles here about school affairs, and the answers should be in rhyme. Of course, I guessed everything right away, and then I decided to test Vovka’s intelligence.
SCHOOLBOY (to Vovka Sidorov):
Here, guess the riddle in rhyme: “The time between two bells is called...”
VOVKA SIDOROV (instantly):
Turn!
SCHOOLBOY:
Well, that’s right, “change” is appropriate, but the answer must be in rhyme!
VOVKA SIDOROV (offended):
Yeah, I said it myself, that’s right, and then you start...
SCHOOLBOY:
Okay, let me tell you another riddle, just think about it before you tell me the answer. “The athlete told us: Everyone go to the sports hall...”
VOVKA SIDOROV (shouts out):
Shop!
SCHOOLBOY:
Which store? For what? Where did you see him?
VOVKA SIDOROV:
What do you mean why? I need to buy new sneakers, otherwise the sole of mine is already falling behind on my left foot. And the sporting goods store is right opposite the school. You've seen him a hundred times too.
SCHOOLBOY (towards the hall):
Well, what can you prove to him here!
SCHOOLBOY (to Vovka Sidorov):
But can you guess this riddle in rhyme? “Schools are not simple buildings; in schools they receive...”
VOVKA SIDOROV:
On the head! Yesterday I almost didn’t touch Lenka Petrova’s bow, but she hit me on the head with a book, bam-bang.
SCHOOLBOY:
Listen to another riddle: “And today I got a grade again...”
VOVKA SIDOROV (shouting):
I got a C, C again in math.
SCHOOLBOY (addressing the audience in the hall):
Well, Vovka is slow-witted! What a slowpoke! Although... I look, his face is cunning and cunning. Maybe he was playing a trick on me? Today is April 1st!!!
(Leonid Medvedev)
17. About parents
A man in a clothing store dials a number on his cell phone.
Man: Hello, dear! ... Has our Bear done his homework? … Yes? What about his diary? Good, yes?! So, did he clean the room?! Crap! Have you eaten soup?! Nothing... I just went into the store, and there was a sale on belts!
Funny scenes about school become the decoration of almost every children's holiday. KVN held within our own walls, a New Year's party, the birth of a school - you never know the wonderful reasons to have fun!
We are pleased to offer you a selection of several scenes that will help create a festive mood.
Short dialogues
The little ones about school offered here do not require decorations or memorization of long texts at all.
One student sleepily says to another:
I must be allergic!
Why do you say that?
Yes, I cover myself with a blanket and sleep all the time!
Two students after a geography lesson:
I still don't believe the Earth rotates!
Why so?
Yes, if it had been spinning, the sea would have splashed out long ago!
The poor student angrily tells his friend:
You imagine? The teacher demanded that I name the simplest thing that reproduces by division! I'm not good at math at all!
In the computer class
The following funny scenes about school also do not require special decorations. Only the latter will require an imitation of a computer lab.
A stupid high school girl, showing off, looks at the tablet as if at a mirror:
My light, mirror, tell me! Tell me the whole truth! Am I the cutest in the world? Everyone is slimmer and more fashionable?
Mirror (drawn out, but angrily):
I'll give you my answer! You frazzled me out! I am a tablet!
A student asks the teacher:
Ivan Ivanovich, did you have a tablet as a child?
No, what are you talking about, there were no computers then!
What did you play on?
On the street!
The cleaning lady comes into the computer class and sternly asks:
Who here knows how to use computers?
All students, without exception, answer: “I.”
Cleaning lady (threateningly):
Then immediately go online and look for a site that teaches you how to use the toilet!
Sketch for a school anniversary: funny and not very long
This scene only requires characteristic features from the actors. The “nerd” should wear glasses and speak sternly, while the girl and her friend should look silly, cutesy and enthusiastic.
A guy who looks like a typical “nerd” tells his friend:
Can you imagine, Tomka called me home to see what was wrong with her computer! I come, and she, apparently, cannot sit in one place at all! The chair is spinning, so the cord is wrapped around the chair leg. I cursed, untangled the cord, inserted the plug that had popped out, turned on her computer and left.
Tomochka, rolling her eyes, enthusiastically tells her classmate:
Oh, this Lyutikov can also do magic!
What are you doing?!
Well, yes, he came to me, looked intently at the computer, raised his hands up, whispered something mystical, turned my chair 10 times counterclockwise, kicked the computer, whispered something mystical again and left. Imagine, everything worked!
Classmate, admiringly:
Wow! Witch!
Very funny scenes about school
After an explanation in a science lesson, the teacher asks the class:
Well, now do you understand why it snows in winter and not in summer?
Petrov, from the spot:
Of course, understandable! If it fell in the summer, it would melt!
During a Russian language lesson, the teacher says:
Petrov, “I’m studying, you’re studying, he’s studying” - what time is this?
Petrov, with a sigh:
Lost, Mary Ivanna!
Friends come up to an excellent student and say:
Andryukha, let's go to a cafe with the girls tonight!
Andrey, thinking:
No, I won't go with you! There the music is blaring, everyone is making noise...
So what?
Yes, I doubt that in such a situation I will be able to fully understand the essence of the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral.
Skits for younger schoolchildren
The following funny scenes are for primary school. They can be successfully shown at a children's party. True, high school students will have to help their younger comrades in this.
A high school student says to his friends:
Look how stupid this first-grader is! I'll show you now!
He calls the baby and, when he approaches, says to him:
In this hand I have 50 rubles, and in this hand I have 10 - what will you take for yourself?
The kid takes 10 rubles. The high school students laugh, twirl their fingers at their temples, and spread their arms.
A friend of a first-grader asks him on the sidelines:
Why did you choose 10 rubles?
Well, if I choose 50, then the game will be over!
A first-grader examines a manicure from a high school girl (admiringly):
Wow, your nails are so long!
A high school girl, simpering:
What, do you like it?
Well, yes! They must be so convenient for climbing trees!
Mom looks at the first-grader's diary. And there the two is crossed out, and there is a four next to it. Mom, with horror:
Vanechka! What it is?!
Vanechka, calmly looking at his mother:
The teacher told us that if we want, we can correct the bad grade!
Skits with teachers
You can play the following funny short skits about school yourself, or you can invite teachers to participate in them.
Conversation with the teacher:
Sidorkin, didn’t you promise me that you would correct your bad grade?
Yes, Mary Ivanna.
Didn’t I promise to call your parents if you didn’t do this?
Yes, Mary Ivanna, but if I didn’t keep my promise, then you don’t have to keep yours either!
The teacher looks sternly at the latecomer:
Semyon! You're late again! What is it this time?
Semyon, it's my fault:
Mary Ivanna, I woke up, looked at what time it was, and blinked unsuccessfully.
The music teacher addresses mommy:
Your daughter needs to play the piano more!
Mommy, sighing heavily:
Lord, so much more! Our seventh neighbor has already moved out!
Dreams Dreams...
These little ones about school will require minimal scenery to show that the kids have left school, although these conversations can also take place during recess. It all depends on the director’s imagination.
Sidorov, sighing heavily, walks home from school. Ivanov asks him:
Sidorov, what are you doing? Did you get a two?
Sidorov sadly:
And he adds dreamily:
Can you imagine how much easier it would be to learn if a theorem in geometry could be proven with the words: “Well, you can see!”
The guy dreamily: “It would be great if we could read minds!” Then I would know what to answer in class!”
His friend: “Yeah, and I would also know what the teacher thinks when you answer incorrectly!”
Romantic relationship
Of course, funny short scenes about school cannot ignore how unexpectedly sometimes sympathy between boys and girls appears at school.
Vovochka escorts Masha home from school and says to her hesitantly:
Listen, Masha, I want to confess to you (pause), (he then speaks quickly) while you were walking to the board, I tore the wings off a fly and threw it into your briefcase! I'm sorry!
Masha, narrowing her eyes slyly:
I wonder if it tastes good?
Vovochka is confused:
I don’t know... Why are you asking?
Masha calmly:
Yes, I also want to apologize! I threw it in your soup in the dining room while you were going for bread!
Let's laugh a little more
Even the funniest scenes about school are often taken directly from life, so the organizers of the holiday can come up with something similar themselves.
During a Russian language lesson, Vovochka asks his neighbor at his desk:
Do you hear how to say correctly: cottage cheese or cottage cheese?
A neighbor, adjusting his glasses, looking smart:
Emphasis on "o"!
Vovochka, after a pause:
Thank you! Helped me out, really helped me out!
A classmate (who looks like an excellent student) says, sighing:
Yes, Lozhkin, you are not at all friendly with your head!
Lozhkin, shrugging his shoulders:
But I have a purely business relationship with her - I feed her, and she thinks!
Conversation with the teacher
Funny skits about school - whether you are organizing KVN or other fun events - are not complete without dialogues similar to those given below.
A teacher talks to a fashionably dressed high school student:
Lerochka, well done, you stopped being late for school!
Yes, Mary Ivanna, it’s all because of my mother.
Did she have an educational conversation with you?
No, she just bought herself some gorgeous Italian boots!
So what?
Like what? Now I get up first so I can put them on before mom! (Proudly walks away)
The teacher throws up her hands.
An elderly teacher sighs and says to her colleague:
I'll probably have to quit!
What are you saying? You are the best teacher in school!
I was completely overworked... I get on the tram in the morning, it’s full of people, I look up and say sternly: “Hello, sit down!”
Funny? Of course it's funny!
Funny skits about school are good because they are easy to perform and do not require exhausting rehearsals. The main thing is that your cheerful mood is conveyed to the audience!
Mitya, do you know what the word “super” means?
Well, yes, this is something so big that it cannot be bigger.
What about “hyper”?
And “hyper”... (Mitya rubs his forehead) Oh! This is what is more “super”!
Girls dancing at a disco:
Listen, don’t you know what mosol is?
Well, this is such a huge bone, they also put it in borscht. Why are you asking?
Yes, I heard a cool song here: “You my heart, You my soul...”
Music from a famous song performed by the group Modern Talking begins to sound on stage.
Petka with a huge “lantern” under his eye and his friend:
Petka, why are you covered in bruises?
Played snowballs with a girl!
So what?
So, it turns out, she’s from the youth handball team! And these guys don’t miss!
Incident in the locker room
Some funny scenes about school require the participation of extras. But they still won’t be difficult to stage.
The girls scream and drag the reluctant guy. The teacher stops them:
Stop! What's happened?!
One of the girls indignantly:
Lyutikov spied on us in the locker room!
The teacher, looking sternly at Lyutikov:
So what, did you like it?
Lyutikov is silent in confusion, then loudly says:
Girls in chorus, drawn out and offended:
How not?!
All funny scenes about school, as you understand, should be played sincerely and seriously. Minimal decorations won't hurt either.
You can place, for example, two desks and a blackboard on the stage to recreate the appearance of a classroom. If events happen during recess or on the way home, you can fantasize. For the “road home”, one tree or bench is enough. And a situation taking place in a school corridor can be played out in front of a large window in the background.
The main thing in these scenes is not to overload them with decorations. They are short, and therefore the emphasis should be on what the actor is saying, and not on what surrounds him at that moment.
To arrange skits in one concert, you can invite a presenter who will tell the audience where it is happening this situation. Fantasize, and your holiday will definitely be remembered and make the most wonderful impression!
During the birthday celebration, you can arrange a real theatrical performance. This will entertain guests and also broaden their horizons. To do this, you need to learn the roles in advance with the birthday boy’s friends. The roles of grandmother and mother can be entrusted to one of the adults.
Sketch “Name day or birthday?”
Characters: Grandmother; her granddaughter Tanya, a slightly dreamy girl of 8 years old; Yulia is Tanya’s friend, a lively, cheerful girl of 10 years old; Sasha is a 5-year-old grandson.
Small, cozy room. It’s getting dark, snow is slowly falling outside the window. Grandma is in a chair, children are nearby on chairs.
Julia. Tanya's birthday is coming soon. Great! I love this day very much: guests come, bring gifts, mom sets the table, and there are so many delicious things on it! And of course, cake.
Sasha. I love cake too. I even dreamed about it: big, big, and eat as much as you want.
Tanya. If only you had sweets, you always fall asleep with candy in your hand. You take the candy from the box on the sly from your mother.
Sasha(embarrassed). Yes, there’s only one of me, my mother won’t even notice. (Continues, after a pause, mysteriously). Or maybe my saint gave me this candy?
Julia. Saint? Who is this?
Sasha. We have a nanny in kindergarten told me that each of us has our own saint. He has the same name as me.
Tanya. Grandma, is Sasha telling the truth?
Grandmother. Once upon a time, name day was a very important holiday for Orthodox people. This day was higher than a birthday. Name day was considered a spiritual holiday, and birthday was considered an earthly holiday. Therefore, in those distant times, people did not celebrate their birthday, sometimes they did not even remember their birthday. But the name day was celebrated joyfully and solemnly.
Tanya. Grandma, tell me why they say “name day”?
Grandmother. Here's why. Previously, names were given to children in the church at baptism. The child was named in honor of the saint on whose memorial day the baptism occurred. The church calendar marks the days of honoring each saint. Many saints were once people like us, but for their good deeds or suffering, which they accepted so as not to renounce Christianity (at a time when Christians were persecuted for their faith), they began to be revered as saints. These are the names they gave to the children. It was believed that the saint would help in everything the one who bears his name.
Here you are, Tanya, bearing the name of Saint Tatiana. They call her the Great Martyr. Her name is Greek and means “organizer, founder.” And for Russia this day is also remarkable because on the day of St. Tatiana a university was opened in St. Petersburg, the first in Russia. This happened under Empress Catherine II.
Julia. Do all the names mean anything?
Grandmother. Certainly. And many names that we consider originally Russian actually came to us from other languages.
Julia. What does my name mean?
Grandmother. Some names are translated differently. Yours, for example, in one interpretation means “fluffy”, and in another, that the owner of this name belonged to the Roman family of Yulia. Yes, you really are a kind, affectionate girl, and your hair is so fluffy.
Julia. What does Sasha mean?
Grandmother. His full name is Alexander, which is translated from Greek as “protector of people.”
Julia. This means that you, Sasha, must be honest and courageous in order to be a real defender.
Tanya. Is it true, grandma, that there are names that don’t even need translation? Well, for example, Vera, Nadezhda.
Grandmother. Yes, these are ancient Russian names; they really don’t need translation. We will already understand that Lyudmila is dear to people, and Svetlana is bright. And the name Love does not need translation. The meaning of any name can be found in special books about names, and this is very fascinating. Read and you will learn a lot of interesting things in the interpretation of names. Let's think about how best to arrange this day. After all, this is how it was once done: a few days before the birthday, they thought about how everyone would have fun at the holiday, so that this day would be remembered. They planned out who could perform what: someone would read poetry, someone would sing a song. It turned out to be a whole concert. And how many games there were!
For example, in my childhood there was a game called “Will you go to the ball?”, but don’t take black and white, don’t say “yes” and “no.”
Sasha. How is it? How is it played, this game?
Grandmother. 2 players take part and the rest watch. One player offers his questions, trying to make the other player make a mistake and say the words “yes” or “no” or choose forbidden colors (black or white).
Julia. Oh, I get it, I get it! Come on, Tanya, are you going to the ball?
Tanya. I'll go.
Julia. What kind of dress will you have?
Tanya. Blue, with lace.
Julia. Which blue is better, white is better!
Tanya. Blue!
Julia. So, then your shoes will probably be black?
Tanya. Like a dress, blue.
Julia. What are you, blacks!
Tanya. No, not black, but blue!
Julia. Ah, so you made a mistake, you made a mistake, you lost! She said the word “no”.
Grandmother. Well, it’s okay, Tanya, you’ll be more careful later. Here's how they played. You can divide into 2 teams and call them, well, for example, “Honey” and “Sugar”, take the ends of the stick and see which side will have more strength: “Honey” or “Sugar”?
They also really loved all sorts of riddle games with words. You had to guess the word by replacing the letters in the original word.
Julia. Let's play!
Grandmother. Okay, guess. “With the letter “s”, everyone really needs me in food, but if you change the “s” to “m”, then you need to take care of your fur coat and hat from me.”
Children(they shout almost in unison). This is “salt” and “mole”!
Julia. These are “tom” and “house”, I guessed it!
Grandmother. And now: “With the letter “t” it is placed at the end of every sentence, but with the letter “k” you can trip over it.”
Tanya. This, of course, is a “point” and a “bump”.
Grandmother. Well, and one more thing. “With the letter “k” it is wrapped around a tree trunk, and with the letter “n” it is a dwelling for the beast.”
Julia. "Bark" and "hole", right?
Grandmother.“With the letter “m” it’s a gift from the bees, but change the “m” to “l” and you can safely skate.”
Julia and Tanya. We guessed it because we love both. These are "honey" and "ice".
Grandmother. “With the letter “v” it is called when someone is sick, and if you change the “v” to “g”, then it is the bird that brings us spring.”
Julia. This is definitely “doctor” and “rook”.
Sasha(sadly). But I couldn’t guess anything.
Grandmother. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you other riddles. Listen.
Summer, clouds in the sky,
The sun warms my sides.
I taste very sweet
And my name is...
Sasha (cheerfully). Watermelon!
Grandmother. Guess again.
I'll decorate your salad
Everyone will be happy to eat.
People have loved it for a long time
Red, juicy...
Sasha. Tomato!
Grandmother. The soup with me is not bad at all,
I call myself...
Sasha. Peas!
Grandmother. Well, now let's go bake birthday cakes.
The children leave after Grandma.
Scene "Birthday"
Characters: Mother; her daughter Tanya, a girl, about 9 years old, whose birthday is being celebrated; guests: Nikita - a lively, mischievous boy; Olya is a chubby, serious girl; Natasha is a cheerful, smart girl, Alyosha is the youngest of the guests, about 4 years old.
A cozy room is decorated with balloons. The table is set. Mom puts napkins on the table, Tanya adjusts the bow in front of the mirror.
Mother. Well, it seems everything is ready. Now I'll just bring the juice. And you, Tanyusha, get ready to receive guests. Be friendly to everyone so that no one is embarrassed. Be careful with gifts: you must unwrap the gift and thank him, because the one who presents it to you wants to please you.
Calls are being made. Tanya runs out into another room and joyful exclamations and laughter can be heard from there. The children return to the room with the table set. Everyone is lively. The bell rings. Little Alyosha comes in and hands Tanya his gift - a bunny. Tanya kisses Alyosha and puts the bunny on a chair.
Mom offers to sit at the table.
Mother(throwing up his hands). But we are missing something on the table and, in my opinion, there is no cake here. But I see some kind of note. (Unfolds the note and reads.) “Look for the cake using the clues.” And here are the tips:
He has four legs
Soft plush belly,
I love to sit in it with my cat,
Let him sing songs to me.
What is this item? Who is this with the plush belly?
Natasha. I guessed it was a chair. I also like to sit in a chair with a cat and a book.
The children come up to the chair and take out a new note.
Nikita(is reading).
Lions and tigers on the screen,
A new fairy tale has come,
I can sit for hours
I forgot to do it.
Only mom is unhappy
She orders me to sit down at the table:
— Have you been preparing for the test?
Watch out, you'll get a stake!
Mother. Can you guess what this item is?
Olya. It's not hard to guess; we all love watching TV. It's really hard to tear yourself away from him.
Everyone goes to the TV, looks under it and takes out a new note.
Olya(is reading).
Well, on to this subject
You go with respect.
Smart thoughts, advice,
You will find a lot in it.
There's a scientist cat on a chain here
Can tell tales
Talking crows
They will help Gerda.
Moidodyr will meet you here,
Lame and crooked,
The guys will notice the dirt -
Head straight into the sink!
Beautiful Malvina is here
Like a magic key you need
Open doors to knowledge.
You will be warmly welcomed here,
Children(they shout joyfully, almost in unison). This is a bookcase, because the poems talked about the heroes of our favorite books.
Everyone goes to the bookcase and takes a new note from the shelf.
Mother(is reading).
Now let's go here.
Stop.
And take a closer look at this subject.
What is this, you will now understand,
When you read poetry about him.
It happens that people are dirty and slobs
They go home with a soiled shirt,
Smeared with ink and chalk...
Then get down to business
And with the help of a machine very quickly
You will become neat and clean.
Well, have you guessed it?
Girls. It's a washing machine!
Mother. Run, bring us the next note - a riddle.
The girls run away and return soon.
Olya has a note in her hands.
Mother. I see you have a new riddle, then read on.
Natasha.
There is eternal cold in this object,
The frost is both strong and angry,
So that we don't feel hungry,
He stores our products.
There's some kind of sign pinned here,
Is this where our surprise sits?
Everyone goes to the refrigerator and mom takes out the cake. He carries it to the table, puts it down, and under the cake everyone discovers the last note:
"Here's the cake,
He is in front of you:
White and pink, large.
Cut it into pieces
And put it in front of you."
Everyone sits down at the table.
Nikita(looking cheerfully at the guests). And I know how to behave properly at the table. I read about this from the poet Grigory Oster, listen carefully:
If you get salad on your hands at lunch
And you’re embarrassed to wipe your fingers on the tablecloth,
Lower them discreetly under the table
And there calmly wipe your hands
About the neighbor's pants.
Natasha. Wow tips!
Nikita. And these are not simple tips; the author himself called them “Bad Advice.”
Mother. Behaving correctly at the table is a whole science. Here you, Nikita, should have pushed the girl’s chair aside and helped her sit down, and then not start eating yourself, but first offer food to your neighbor at the table. And on the table, many serving items have their own history. For example, a well-known napkin. You wouldn't even realize that it has very ancient origins. It was used during feasts in Ancient Rome. Then, however, they forgot about her. But in the 15th century they began to use it again.
Did you know that a long time ago in peasant houses there were no plates, only bowls and pots. Therefore, food (of course, not cabbage soup or borscht) was placed on a piece of bread, and then such a “bread” plate was eaten. Only in the 16th century did plates appear. A spoon is a very old object, much more than 1000 years old, but a fork is relatively young, it appeared in the Middle Ages and was invented in order to protect the large collars of noble people from greasy stains that food could leave. Only in the 19th century, quite recently, one might say, did the fork take its place on every table.
Now help yourself to some cake.
Nikita. And I can give everyone advice about the cake.
Natasha. Harmful again? From Grigory Oster?
Nikita. Now you will understand. Listen carefully.
If a friend's birthday
I invited you to my place,
You leave the gift at home -
It will come in handy yourself.
Try to sit next to the cake,
Don't engage in conversations:
You're talking
Eat half as much candy.
Choose smaller pieces
To swallow faster.
Don't grab the salad with your hands -
You can scoop up more with a spoon.
If they suddenly give you nuts,
Place them carefully in your pocket,
But don't hide the jam there:
It will be difficult to take it out.
The children laugh merrily.

All the guys laugh and say goodbye to Tanya
Sketch “Name Day with a Frenchman”
Characters: Mother; Natasha, her daughter (she is the birthday girl), guests (children).
Before this skit, the presenter will make short explanations.
Let the children watch it like a fairy tale.
In the sketch it is necessary to use a fragment of P. I. Tchaikovsky’s opera “Eugene Onegin” - Monsieur Triquet’s couplets.
Leading. Guys, of course, you all know the great Russian poet A.S. Pushkin. You know him from the wonderful fairy tales “The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish”, “The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights”, “The Tale of the Priest and His Worker Balda”, etc. But, in addition to fairy tales, Alexander Sergeevich wrote other works. So, he wrote the novel “Eugene Onegin”, and you will read it when you are older. Based on the plot of the novel, composer P. I. Tchaikovsky wrote the opera “Eugene Onegin”. But now we are interested in hearing a small piece from this opera. There is a scene of the name day of Tatiana (the heroine of the novel), to which the Frenchman Monsieur Triquet came. In honor of the birthday girl Tatiana, he sings the verses he composed, of course with an accent, but understandably.
A mother and daughter are sitting on the sofa in the room.
It’s a winter evening, it’s dark outside, the table lamp is on.
Mother. Well, it seems everything is ready for tomorrow: treats, sweets, prizes that we will award at competitions and games... Have you invited everyone, Natasha?
Natasha. Yes, mom, and everyone said they would definitely come. This will be fun! I was so looking forward to this day! Mom, you said about prizes. I also prepared riddles; my grandmother and I picked them up. She said that her birthday party when she was little was also fun. In just a few days they prepared the performances - it turned out to be a whole concert.
And her grandmother, my great-great-grandmother, celebrated her name day. Back then they didn’t celebrate birthdays, but only name days. That's what grandma says. Well, there were also guests, a festive table, gifts, a cake with burning candles... Of course, relatives and guests performed: they sang, danced, read poetry, solved charades.
Mother. Do you know what a charade is?
Natasha. I know, mommy, my grandmother explained to me that this is a riddle in which the word being riddled consists of parts, and these parts themselves are separate words.
Mother. Well done, Natasha, you explained it correctly.
Natasha. For example, I’ll tell you a riddle: the first syllable is a note and the second is also a note, and the whole word means a plant that looks like a pea. What is this?
Mother. I think it's beans.
Natasha. I guessed correctly.
Mother. In general, playing with words is very interesting. Now I’ll make a wish for you too.
Here is a word with two meanings:
One is closely related to the castle,
Other - in the meadow, in the forest
It gurgles, runs and splashes,
It shines like a transparent stream.
Natasha. I think that's the key.
Mother. Absolutely right.
Natasha. And my grandmother also said that she listened to an opera where there was a name day, and there was a Frenchman in a wig, a guest at the name day, who sang verses in honor of the birthday girl. And my grandmother sang them to me. I liked the verses. Very funny and amusing. I even wanted to attend these name days.
Mother. Well, daughter, you have fantasized, but you need to rest. Lie down for now, and I’ll go bake a pie. By the way, pies were always baked for both name day and birthday.
They also told me about name days and said that they broke a pie over the birthday boy so that raisins from the pie would fall on his head. It was believed that money and all kinds of wealth would also be showered on the birthday person. The people had many interesting customs, and you need to know them in order to imagine how our grandmothers and great-grandmothers lived... Relax, but it’s time for me to get some pie.
Mom leaves the room. Natasha leafs through the large picture book for some time, but soon lays her head on the pillow and falls asleep. A light, transparent fabric falls from above, like a curtain. The light gradually fades and comes back on again. All the action takes place behind a transparent fabric - this is a girl’s dream. In a dream she is Tatyana.
A girl in a 19th-century dress, with long curls, a bow in her hair, a pink fluffy dress tied with a ribbon under her chest.
Several smart and cheerful children. Music is playing (polonaise from the opera “Eugene Onegin”), talking animatedly, the girls hold hands and spin around. They approach the birthday girl, kiss her, and give her gifts.
Lackey(enters and announces). Monsieur Triquet. A young man in a red wig quickly runs in and bows gallantly.
In his hands he has a sheet of paper rolled into a tube on which couplets are written.
Monsieur Triquet. Let me, Tatyana, congratulate you and present my little poem in your honor. A musical fragment of Monsieur Triquet's couplets plays. The person playing the role of Monsieur Triquet at this time portrays a singing man.
At the end of the singing, the children laugh and clap their hands.
Mother. Bravo, bravo, Monsieur Triquet! Your verse is excellent, and sung very, very nicely.
And now, children, you and Monsieur Triquet will play games. There is a Russian folk game called “Bear the Bear in the Forest.” First, let's choose a bear.
Children(they shout). This is Monsieur Triquet, Monsieur Triquet!
Mother. He sleeps in the forest, and we all go into the forest to pick mushrooms and sing a song.
Children(singing).
By the bear in the forest
I'll take mushrooms and berries!
The bear is fed up
Frozen on the stove!
As soon as the players have said their last words, the “bear,” who was “sleeping,” begins to “wake up,” and then suddenly runs after the children and tries to catch someone. The one who is caught becomes a “bear”. Children do not have to immediately rush to run from the bear; they can tease him with a song.
Mother. You're probably tired, let's play some quiet game. Let's solve riddles! Whoever solves the most riddles will receive a prize.
Soft paws, and scratches in the paws. (Cat)
I have no legs, but I walk

Mother. I think the girls want to dance. Right?
The melody of any polka sounds.
Children stand in pairs and dance.
Mother. I have prepared 2 more riddles for you, but I don’t know if you will be able to guess them.
There's a hole at the top
There's a hole at the bottom
And in the middle -
Fire and water.
Children. This is a samovar.
Mother. That's right, and we'll need it. And what else we need for tea, you can tell yourself if you guess the next riddle.
White as snow
In honor of everyone.
Got it in my mouth -
There he disappeared.
Children. Sugar.
Mother. Well, you deserve it, it's time to drink tea.
The light gradually dims and comes back on.
The transparent curtain has been removed. In the room, on the sofa, Natasha wakes up. Her Mom comes in.
Mother. I see that you are already awake?
Natasha. Oh, mommy, what a dream I had! I was Tatyana, Monsieur Triquet came to me and sang his funny couplets. I had guests, and we played different games: we guessed riddles, danced the polka, everything, just like in the old days. We even drank tea from the samovar.
Mother. That’s right, Natasha, then you could drink tea from a samovar. Do you know how long it has been around? It has been in Russia since the 18th century, and it was made in Tula. This city was famous for its samovars. There were so many different sizes and styles of samovars! Inside the samovar there was a pipe into which either pine cones or wooden blocks were poured. They set it on fire with a torch, fanned the fire with air, the water heated up and boiled. At the top of the samovar, behind a low carved grate, stood a teapot. On the table there was chopped sugar in a sugar bowl with beautiful tongs for it, and there was various jams. Bagels were sometimes hung on a hot samovar to warm them up. Tula samovars are as famous as other Russian souvenirs, such as matryoshka, balalaika, brightly and beautifully decorated Khokhloma dishes, Palekh painting. Sitting at the samovar was a favorite custom in Russia. People gathered with families over a boiling samovar, merchants made trade deals, went out of town with samovars and drank tea in nature.
Natasha. How interesting! Do we have a samovar at home?
Mother. There is, only it is quite modern - electric, but the tea from it is also very tasty.
And now let’s hasten to prepare the table not for those guests you had in your dream, but for the real ones.
