February 23 - Defender of the Fatherland Day. It is generally accepted that this is a purely masculine holiday, therefore, as a rule, congratulate the popes and brothers who are in any way connected with the military. But if March 8 is a strictly designated women's day and it is not customary to congratulate the stronger sex, then the Defender of the Fatherland Day, on the contrary, should be celebrated by absolutely everyone. In this article, we will study various scenarios on February 23 at school, but first we will find out who is worthy of a gift and a good rest.
So whom to congratulate?
To begin with, if you have friends of women who also work in the military structure, then they just deserve a nice postcard and kind words. This is not a masculine holiday. This is the Defender of the Fatherland Day, and in Russia, as in many countries, the fair sex is also fighting for the motherland. That is why the event by February 23 at the school is preparing for absolutely everyone.
Not everyone is worthy of congratulations, namely those who served, serve, or are just going to serve in the army, enter the military department and undergo special training. Ordinary people who refused or in any way escaped to repay a debt to their homeland are not congratulated.
But in schools everything is different, because young minds are concentrated there, who only know the world and decide which course of life they should choose. For this reason, the script by February 23 at the school is done in such a way as to involve all the boys, girls and teachers in the event. In addition, in every educational institution there is an OBZH class, initial military training.
Best Drawing Competition
What is your favorite activity for children while studying? That's right - drawing wall newspapers on February 23 at school. Pupils who produce interesting images are respected. Here are a few rules for this contest:
- The wall newspaper on February 23 at the school begin to draw 1-2 weeks before the start of the celebration.
- What kind of drawing should be, the students themselves choose, but the subject must comply with the event.
- It is not forbidden to be creative and to be original. Someone writes poetry, someone sketches battle scenes, someone makes a newspaper in the form of a postcard - it all depends on the creative impulse of the students.
- The wall newspaper is presented from one class, even if only a few schoolchildren took part in its creation.
- Awarding takes place at a festival organized in honor of February 23. Some schools congratulate the class on a ruler Monday morning.
- You need to draw a wall newspaper on a white whatman paper. All words and pictures must be censored.
- You can use paints, and spray cans, and sparkles, and crayons, and simple pencils.
DIY gifts
As a rule, concerts and exhibitions are held on Defender of the Fatherland Day. Parents, brothers, war veterans, grandparents are invited to this holiday. And in the elementary school on February 23, fairs are being prepared at all, in which children exhibit their own crafts and gifts made by themselves.
What you can do yourself:
- Ideas for little kids. The best gift for February 23 in elementary school is a postcard. Children cut out patterns from paper and then glue them together to get a beautiful original mug, applique in the form of an airplane, helicopter or tank. In labor and art classes, children make papier-mâché, which are three-dimensional figures and objects made from cut pieces of paper, interconnected by glue.
- Ideas for high school. Pupils of grades 5-11 do not make simple light paper crafts at labor lessons. Boys often engage in carpentry, carving tools, household items, and figurines from wood. Girls, on the contrary, learn to embroider and cook. So, according to the script, on February 23, you can arrange a fun fair at the school, where it is recommended to bring homemade things - axes, hammers, ships, chests, caskets, pies, cookies, men's aprons and slippers. With the permission of teachers, things can be simply donated or exchanged for others, or, conversely, sold to guests.
Entertainment program number 1. Dance number
Dance on February 23 at the school is usually staged during a gala concert. Children prepare in advance for this event, gathering a large team and coming up with entertaining rooms. But without a leader this cannot be done. If the school is ordinary, then any teacher or assistant can engage in staging dances. There are specialized institutions that are aimed at educating creative children (musicians, artists, dancers, actors, athletes).
Dance on February 23 at school:
- The presenter takes the stage and announces the “Blue Handkerchief” dance. (To facilitate the task, schoolchildren pick up a waltz melody, since not all children can learn complex movements in a few weeks, become more flexible and liberated). Five pairs enter the stage and line up in a checkerboard pattern - three pairs in the first row, two pairs in the second. The music turns on, the boys sit on one knee, and the girls hold their hands. Make three circles around them and return to their original position - facing the audience. The boys also look into the hall all this time.
- The next movement: the girls take the guys by the second hand and help them get up from their knees. To the rhythm of the waltz, couples begin to step towards the wall and step towards the audience, holding their hands in the shape of a boat.
- Couples look into the hall, holding hands, push off from each other, taking a step to the left. Then the dancers look at each other again.
- The boys take the girls by the waist and slightly lift.
The main feature of this dance is that it is very simple and straightforward. Here the essence is played by the background song and the costumes of the guys. Boys should be dressed in a marine vest, and girls in a beautiful blue and white skirt and tied in a blue shawl.
More dancing options
The event by February 23 at the school should be literally riddled with military themes. From the side it may seem as if people are celebrating May 9th. Let's find out what else can be put on dances-sketches on February 23 at school:
- Battle. Call volunteers and arrange a fun contest between boys and girls. Let all the participants stand in a circle, and then everyone goes on stage and dances for 30-40 seconds to the included music. It is important to improvise, to be charismatic and fun. You can make funny gestures and movements. To diversify the battle will help inappropriate songs. For example, it’s very difficult to dance hip-hop to “Katyusha”.
- Round dance. In kindergartens and elementary grades, you can make a round dance etude. In this mini-scene, both military and nurses should participate. During a round dance, the facilitator reads a short story and at certain points tells what actions need to be performed. For example, children walk in circles and at that moment they announce that the military was attacked and that it was necessary to lie on the ground. Everyone in uniform falls to the floor, and the medical staff continues to circle around until they receive their assignments.
What gifts to choose
Many girls are wondering: “What do boys give at school on February 23?” Class guys will be delighted with these ideas:
- Thermo mug changing the inscription. Just imagine how a boy takes a mug in the morning, pours boiling water, and the glass begins to change color, or even at all - the inscription appears: “From a beloved class!”.
- T-shirt with print. What could be more practical than a quality T-shirt in black or white? But it will be even more interesting if it prints a print in the form of a congratulation, the names of classmates, funny wishes or funny self-portraits.
- Boys in the primary grades can be presented with sweets or board games, practical jokes or toys.
- In high school, girls sometimes play pranks by giving them Playboy magazines with sealed packages with condoms by causal places or just having a tea party.
Entertainment program number 2. Military sporting event
Let's find out how to celebrate February 23 at school. The holiday script often includes a military sports program. It is a relay event in which not only schoolchildren, but also teachers take part. In most regions of Russia, it is still cold in February, so the program is held in the gym.
Usually this scenario is prepared for February 23 for high school students. A convenient day is chosen, lessons are canceled and several classes are sent to the gym. According to the scenario of the holiday on February 23 at school everyone should be dressed in comfortable clothes.

Wishes and congratulations
We put together several verses by February 23 at school. They can be written in postcards or divided into small pieces so that the children memorized and read during their performance on stage:
We stand like a stone wall
our brothers and fathers will go to war
on our abusers.
Their character and will, strength and spirit,
worthy of a great reward.
We stand behind a huge wall
barricades made of flesh and blood.
We’ll erect a salute in honor of the defenders,
we’ll arrange a feast and go through a parade.
Our happiness is in our men
and we don’t need more.
Learn this verse by February 23 to school to congratulate the most important defenders of the Fatherland in your life.
Daddy is dear!
You are the best for me,
whatever is with you
never Gonna Give You Up.
***
Happy Holiday!
Strong and masculine.
We will become brave
The same as you!
***
There is no one in the world who would be harsher
Dad's glance will melt the ice, make his face crimson.
He is the protector, my hero. He will drive away all enemies
And while no one is watching, he will prepare pancakes for me!
Miniatures and performances
The scenes for February 23 at the school are especially popular. These impromptu sketches can be funny, dramatic, or overtly childish.
- The boys are in uniform at their desks, and after a few seconds the teacher comes in and starts the girl. Everyone begins to whisper, and some even joke that there is no place for the female gender in the male team. What the girl turns to face the hall and makes a speech, explaining that not all men are worthy of this holiday, but real men and women who are not afraid to climb into a burning house, fight crime and go to hot spots to to shoot an action-packed and exciting report. After an open monologue, all the boys get up because of the desks and begin to give the girl a standing ovation.
Some more gift ideas
Each child will do homework by February 23 to school. For this, he will receive an assessment, and which one, it all depends on how much the student tries. We present to your attention another list of original crafts by February 23 to school:
- Tank made of caps. To create this original craft, you will need only unnecessary plastic bottle caps. It's okay that they are blue, blue or white. Take the caps and liquid glue, and then assemble a simple model of the tank, making tracks, a hatch and a cabin. When the technique is ready, it must be painted with paints.
- Trinket made of felt. It is not a shame to present such a souvenir to your father or brother. It is enough to take a few pieces of felt of different colors, cut out the patterns, and then glue the various figures with liquid glue. You can make a boat, a typewriter, a tank, an airplane or a helicopter, a star, a sword or even a flag. It all depends on the creative impulse of the child.
- Paper rocket. According to the script, on February 23, parents should gather at the school. It can be a regular parent's meeting, a matinee or a concert. Children solemnly present crafts, read poetry and stage sketches. A cardboard rocket is the best DIY gift. Everything is very simple: take a sheet of thick paper or cardboard, cut a rocket with two starting engines on the sides. Make an incision at the base so that two more engines cut out of cardboard can be inserted into the rocket. That is, the child should have an invention that stands firmly on four “legs”.
- Craft "Mug". Cut two mug patterns out of paper or thick cardboard. Glue together at the edges so that a free cavity remains in the middle of the craft. Tear off the label with the thread from the tea bag, and then gently stick it inside our fake mug. Decorate with stars, flag or a nice inscription.
Contests
- The best soldier outfit from improvised means. You will need several volunteers to whom the leader distributes one box each. In each of them, the contestants will find strange objects from which you need to create an unusual combat costume. The box can contain colored ribbons, toilet paper, threads, paints, and even various things with wigs. Each participant chooses an assistant for himself, whom he will adorn in the future. The winner is the one who, from the chaotic order of things, created the most original soldier's outfit of the new generation.
- Songs. Here is another way that allows you to originally congratulate your family and friends on February 23 at school. It is enough to learn several songs and sing them on stage in front of the guests. You can use thematic songs, such as Katyusha, Three Tankers, The Last Battle, Dark Night, or you can sing new tracks, such as 5'nizza - Soldier. It will be even more interesting if someone from the class plays the main melody on the guitar or on the button accordion.
February 23, compared with March 8, is not celebrated in all schools. Basically, all activities consist in the selection and purchase of gifts, and then in their delivery. The initiative is usually shown by high school students who want to make a whole show for dads, brothers, office workers, women and classmates. The main feature of such a holiday is that it can be held absolutely unique and unusual. Here it is not necessary to march and sing war songs, it is enough just to show how much the defenders are important for everyone.
