Oriental tales always attract with their mystery and wisdom. Girls are captivated by the beauty of princesses, boys - by the wit and cunning of heroes. We can also remember bright moments from the tales of Hajj Nasreddin, Aladdin, Sinbad the Sailor, Scheherazade and other eastern princesses. Make a birthday in oriental style- this means plunging into the mysterious world of love, wealth and joy.
Decor
First, let's remember the main attributes of the eastern holiday. Color combinations: red, purple, yellow, gold, turquoise - bright warm colors. From the fabric we will choose brocade, velvet, silk. We will decorate the room with silk ribbons, scarlet and golden fabrics, large beads, colorful pillows, arrange Moroccan-style lanterns and wide trays with fruits and oriental sweets.
But let's start with the basics - the table. The table, of course, should be low. Absolutely correct option- this is a table, like at a picnic - a simple tablecloth on the floor. If it is possible to put a table top without legs under the tablecloth, it will be even better. The fabric for the tablecloth should be bright. It can be plain or variegated, but not pale.
The more fabric accessories included in the design, the better. These can be scarves, bedspreads, or simply pieces of fabric that can be used to drape walls, sofas, and floors. A mandatory attribute is decorative pillows. Place everything you can find in the house around the table. You can even ask your guests to bring them with them. There won't be many pillows at this holiday.
On festive table let's put decorative elements– figurines of camels or small elephants, painted with gold paint, large earrings, beads, gold sequins. You can add homemade Moroccan style lamps. They are easy to make - you will need glass jars, colored and gold acrylic paint (or a gold outline for glass). You make them like this: take a jar, draw an oriental pattern on it with a pencil and paint over it with gold paint. Cover the inside of the jar with colored dye diluted in water. acrylic paint. Once dry, place a candle inside. It's simple. The main thing is the recognizable pattern on the jar.
Games
To entertain your guests, you can stock a few themed games. They should be associated either with fairy tales (for example, with the tales of Scheherazade), or with a general oriental mood (for example, with an oriental bazaar). To get into the mood, you can come up with oriental names for all guests, ask oriental riddles at the entrance, and prepare oriental sweets for treats.
“Oriental Bazaar” for Elizabeth’s birthday. Author Maria Goremychkina.
For an oriental setting, a suit is required. For girls, this can be a loincloth for the head made of organza, a small tiara, a flower on the hand, a loincloth, long skirt or harem pants. Pants should have elastic at the bottom. If there are none, then you can wear any light fabric, and sew an elastic band at the bottom or tie it with a ribbon. For the bodice, you can use a swimsuit top and decorate it with rhinestones or metal coins. You can decorate your face with rhinestones, as well as your hair and temples.
For boys, we will make a turban from fabric and secure it with a large brooch.
During the birthday celebration, oriental beauties can be asked to guess the scents. The hidden items could be pieces of fruit, flower buds, or herbs. For a joke, you can add laundry soap or a rubber ball. The same game can be played with guessing the taste blindfolded. Fruits will come in handy again, as well as vegetables and spices - garlic, onions.
Eastern beauties love patterns. To do this, you can prepare material for oriental painting: draw a flower, patterns, draw eyes beautifully. If there are oriental beauties at the birthday party, they can make bolder designs.
And, of course, no dancing on Eastern Day birth is indispensable. Let these be the most fiery dances. Just don't forget to prepare the music in advance.
As treats, you can put dried fruits, nuts and sweets made from puff pastry with honey and nuts, baklava, Turkish delight, halva on beautiful plates.
For a hearty lunch, you can prepare couscous, bake eggplants, and make mint tea.
Eastern Birthday is a holiday that is in no hurry. It is necessary to devote time to entertainment, pleasant conversations, dreams and secrets. Therefore, at some point it is worth leaving guests alone for a pleasant oriental holiday.
Let this birthday in an oriental style become a wisely fairy-tale island among the bustle of everyday life!
- Why are you sitting there? - asked the bishop.
Nineteen out of twenty immediately swore that they were imprisoned innocently, solely due to a judicial error. And only the twentieth admitted that he was in prison for theft.
“Release him immediately,” the ruler ordered, “he can have a bad influence on all the other honest people who are here.”
So let's drink to the people whose honesty helps them to be free!
The origin of the English word "toast" - in the sense of "drinking a toast to someone" - has several explanations. According to most sources, drinking "toast" is actually related to fried bread, aka toast. Other sources claim that the word comes from the 18th century English custom of covering a glass of hot spiced wine with a piece of toast as it passed the table. Everyone raised a toast, took a sip of wine, said a few words and drank a glass. When the glass reached the point where the person was "toasted", the laureate ate the toast.
Selected toasts and good wishes in German and English
Irish seems to be a generous and versatile source of toast and good wishes. Enjoy life all the time! You're more dead than alive! May you live to be a hundred years old, One more year to repent. Let's take care of business first, and then drink and laugh! When someone has drunk, one knows what is real.
Beautiful oriental toast
Once a venerable Georgian prince sneezed, and the servant said hastily: “A thousand years of health!” - Tsits! - the gentleman shouted. - Why do you wish me the impossible? - Then live one hundred and twenty years. - Tsits! - the prince became angry again. - Then at least a hundred! - I didn’t please you again! - Eighty? - All wrong! The servant lost patience and said: “If it were my will, then die now!” I suggest we raise our glasses so that we can live as long as we want!
Life is beautiful, you just need to see it through your glasses. Let the road rise to you. May the wind always be at your back. Let the sun shine on your face. And the rains fall on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the emptiness of His hand. You know you're getting older when candles cost more than cake! With age it is the same as with wine: it must be good year! A man sits with the Grauen Ring. One sees with shock people around, aging and dumb. Everyone listens to music differently - but dancing together is wonderful.
Wise oriental toast
The people of the Caucasus are very friendly and strong. Mutual assistance and devotion, patriotism and loyalty are irreplaceable components by which this nationality is recognized. I propose a toast: may we be as strong as this people and may nothing move us astray!
Short oriental toast
Let's start with the opening toast popular in the East: “God, give us your blessings.”
Marriage is the most important journey a person can embark on. Each of us sees part of the world; together we see it all. Over time, you don't need to save money, even to travel abroad. You don't have to worry about time, you can't travel. Maher said during the interview, “I need to get to Nebraska more.”
Sasse replied: Welcome. We would like you to work with us in the fields. And then Mager hit Sasse with the unthinkable: Work in the fields? The way the term is so casually rolled away from Maher's language indicates an unsettling familiarity with the phrase. Simply calling it a "joke" as Maher does a few seconds later through a groaning audience doesn't set him free.
Eastern toast in verse
What's the difference between truth and lies? - they asked the sage.
“Yes, like between the ears and eyes,” he answered.
- What we see with our eyes is true, but what we hear with our ears is not always true.
Let's drink to what is heard and seen.
Oriental toast in prose
Let's drink to the wisdom of the Caucasian people, to the beauty Caucasian women, for the strength of Caucasian men, for their love for the elderly and children. This glorious people has existed for a long time, and will exist even longer, because time favors the strong, and life favors the brave!
Cool oriental toast
Such a thing as need is our sixth sense, capable of eclipsing all others. For us to always be completely satisfied with just five other senses!
Funny oriental toast
Caucasians have a legend. When a child appears in a family, 100 devils appear in addition to him. When he turns one year old, one angel is born, and there are one less devil. And so everyone next year: The number of angels increases, and the number of devils decreases. Raise your glasses so that we all live to see the moment when there are no devils left!
But let's face it: that won't happen. Many liberals, no matter how outraged they may be, would rather continue watching Game of Thrones than send a message about Maher. A more likely explanation is that the American liberal elite, especially the older generation, decided that Maher was too important to the so-called "resistance" to oust him.
This nation continues to struggle with racial issues. Income inequality and educational disparity plague African American communities throughout the United States. The failure to punish Maher's magical stupidity is a failure, a golden opportunity to send a message of racial tolerance sadly sacrificed in the name of amusing liberal extremism. Obviously this post gives general differences, but these may vary depending on the region of each country, as well as the background of the people involved.
Oriental toast in your own words
In the Caucasus there is a proverb: “Only a word born in the heart finds its way to the heart of another.” So let’s drink so that all our words are heard and carry only good intentions!
One eastern sage who lived in ancient times said: “In love they know each other, because they love each other. In friendship, they love each other because they know each other.”
So let's drink to those who know each other so well - to us!
The first difference is that someone wishes "Happy Birthday" based on the difference in language. Another German expression is Herzlichen Glückwundz zum Geburtstag. The word "congratulations" is used because basically you are saying to someone "congratulations for making another year against the alternative."
But to be honest, I have yet to hear it here in German. There is a saying in German that goes like this: “Dull den tag nicht vor dem Abend loben,” which translates to “Don’t praise the day before the evening.” This alludes to Germany's habit of not being too sure of something before it happens, or in other words, if you wish someone a happy birthday early, it could mean that something will happen so they don't get to your birthday.
A certain king was crooked. A skilled painter was with him.
For some reason the monarch disliked him and was looking for a reason to find fault.
“Paint my portrait, but such that it looks exactly like me,” he once ordered the artist.
“So my end has come,” the artist thought sadly. - If I draw him crooked, he will execute me. If I portray him as seeing, he will say:
“It doesn’t look like it!” - and he will also cut off his head.”
An acute situation gives rise to resourcefulness. The artist painted a deer, and next to him was a king with a gun in his hands, one eye, blind, closed, as if the king was taking aim. In this form he presented the portrait to the sovereign.
He could not find fault with the painter, and his life was saved.
This toast is to the talented and resourceful.
As an American, this tradition seems a little cold to me. In Germany, at dawn, a family member will light candles and they will be lit all day instead of "shooting them out." For children, instead of placing candles on the cake, they are placed in a "birth wreath", which is a round wreath made of wood with a candle placed on it for each year, with a large one in the center for good luck.
Georgian birthday toast
This is used until the 12th birthday.
The fifth difference is that you live in northern Germany and are united on your 30th birthday, then you have to perform several responsibilities. If you're a woman, your friends will want you to clear a few door handles for them, with a toothbrush. If you are a man, then you are more likely to climb the stairs to the town hall or some other busy public place, and your friends will throw rocks or leaves on the steps so you can work. To free yourself from these tasks, you need to receive a kiss from the opposite sex.
In ancient times, in the beautiful country of India, there lived a padishah who had three wives. The padishah also had an astrologer who predicted his fate. And then one day the padishah calls the astrologer to him and says:
“You lived with me for a long time, but you never predicted anything bad for me.” And that's why I wanted to reward you. Choose any of my wives.
And then the astrologer approaches the first wife and asks:
- Tell me, woman, how much is two and two?
“Three,” she says.
What a thrifty wife, thought the astrologer.
The second one answered him: “Four.”
What a smart wife, thought the astrologer.
The third answered him: “Five.”
And this is a generous wife, thought the astrologer.
What kind of wife do you think he chose? He chose the most beautiful one!
So, friends, let’s drink to our beautiful ladies sitting at this table!
The Eastern ruler once visited a prison where twenty prisoners were serving their sentences.
- Why are you sitting there? - asked the bishop.
Nineteen out of twenty immediately swore that they were imprisoned innocently, solely due to a judicial error. And only the twentieth admitted that he was in prison for theft.
“Release him immediately,” the ruler ordered, “he can have a bad influence on all the other honest people who are here.”
So let's drink to the people whose honesty helps them to be free!
Two disputants came to the sage with a request to judge them. He listened carefully to the plaintiff first and, when he finished speaking, told him: “Yes, you’re right! »
Then the defendant began to make excuses. The sage listened to him very carefully. And then he said: “You’re absolutely right! »
Here the sage's wife intervened. “How can it be that both disputants are right?” - she asked her husband quietly. The sage remained silent thoughtfully, thought and told her: “You know what, you’re right too! »
This toast is for those who are always right!
In one mountainous Georgian valley, a man was expelled for an offense for 3 days. driven into the mountains and without clothes. A man went to the mountains, but he could not light a fire because he had no matches...
On the first day a spark flew... he caught it, lit a fire, ate and warmed up...
On the second and third days, sparks also flew and the same thing happened.
So a man returned from the mountains, and there they said to him:
On the first day, your friend burned all his food to warm you...
On the second day, he burned down his house to warm you...
On the third day he burned himself to warm himself...
So let's drink to our FRIENDS
One monarch ordered his minister of food:
- Get me a dish that is sweeter in the world!
The minister went to the market and bought a tongue.
The ruler was delighted with the skillfully prepared dish.
And a day or two later a new order came from him:
- Get me a dish that is more bitter in the world.
The minister went to the market again and bought the tongue again.
- I demanded something bitter, you brought your tongue again. How so?
And the minister explained:
- Sir, there is nothing more pleasant in the world smart words and there is nothing worse than bad words. It all depends on the language...
My toast is to skillfully use your tongue.
What's the difference between truth and lies? - they asked the sage.
“Yes, like between the ears and eyes,” he answered.
- What we see with our eyes is true, but what we hear with our ears is not always true.
Let's drink to what is heard and seen.
A young man approaches the river, pushes aside one bush, another, a third, and so on twenty bushes... And there, behind the last one, stands a beautiful woman and waits for him. He took off one dress, the other...
So let's drink to our prospects!!!
Once Suren was asked: - Under what zodiac sign were you born? “Under the sign of the Old Goat,” Suren answered. - Listen, but there is no such sign in the astronomical tables. Suren replied: “When I was a child, my mother determined my destiny by the stars and she was told - Capricorn.” - Yes, but this word means not a goat, but a kid. “Oh, you fools,” Suren objected. “I know this myself, but exactly a hundred years have passed since my fate was determined by the stars.” And didn’t the kid turn into a goat during this time? So let's drink to the old-timers.
A certain prince invited a musician to his place to entertain him. The musician began to play.
- Oh, bless your hand! - the prince praised him. - I give you a silver azarpema. The musician thanked him and sat down to play further.
- I won’t regret my horse for you! - the prince went wild.
The musician tries even harder.
“I wish you a cow,” the owner became generous.
The next day the musician appears to receive the promised gifts.
- What azarpema, what horse? - answered the sobered prince. - Yesterday you pleased me with your play, and I pleased you with my promises. The same thing that remains today from your game is left to you from my gifts.
Let us fill our glasses and drink so that we can always and under any circumstances keep our word.
An ancient Indian treatise says: “the needs of the soul give rise to friendship, the needs of the mind - respect, the needs of the body - desire. All three needs give birth to true love.”
Let's drink so that we always have these needs, and we love and are loved!
Three hunters learned that a wolf was hiding near the village. They decided to catch him and kill him. There are many different rumors among people about how they caught him. I remember this story from childhood:
The wolf, fleeing from the hunters, climbed into the cave. There was only one entrance to it, and it was very narrow - your head would fit through, but your shoulders would not. The hunters hid behind a stone, aimed their rifles at the entrance and began to wait for the wolf to crawl out of the cave. But the wolf, apparently, was not a fool - he sat quietly. This means that the one who first got tired of sitting and waiting had to lose.
One hunter had enough. He decided to somehow squeeze into the cave and drive the wolf out of there. He walked up to the hole and stuck his head into it. The hunters watched their comrade for a long time and wondered why he did not try to crawl forward or at least pull his head back.
Finally, they too got tired of waiting. They moved the hunter and made sure that he had no head.
They began to wonder: did the hunter have a head before he climbed into the cave? One says that it was as if it had happened, the other says that it was as if it had not happened. The headless body was brought to the village and they told about what had happened. One old man said: judging by the fact that the hunter climbed into the cave to the wolf, he had no head for a long time, perhaps since birth. We went to find out to the widowed wife of the hunter.
- How do I know if my husband had a head? I only remember that every year I ordered myself a new hat.
So let's drink so that men don't lose their heads under any circumstances!
It stood high, high in the mountains basketball hoop. One proud horseman decided to throw the ball at him from above. He took a running start, jumped high, straight towards the sun, and got burned, and that’s how blacks and… basketball appeared.
It was a very long time ago, when the mountains of Armenia were even higher than they are now. Ashot stood naked by the rock, with a hat on his head. A primitive naked woman approached Ashot. Ashot covered his lower abdomen with his hat. The woman first removed one of Ashot’s hands, then the other. The hat continued to cover the lower abdomen. So let's drink to the strength that held the hat!
One king's only joy was horses. And the old groom bought them for him. One day a groom brought a man and said:
- I'll die soon. This is my replacement.
The king agreed, but said:
- Just let’s test him first, let him choose the most beautiful horse in the herd.
The man chose a horse, brought it to the king, and he gasped:
- What kind of bay is this? He's brown!
But the old man stood up for his successor.
- Don’t be angry, sir, he doesn’t really understand the color of a horse yet, but he chose a horse that was truly golden - there’s no price for it. So take this man into your service. He sees the point.
Let's drink to judging a person not by his appearance, but by his inner qualities!
One Georgian tells a friend:
- Understand! I visited the doctor, and he told me: “You can’t drink! No smoking! Not allowed with women! »
- Poor guy! - a friend sympathizes.
- What kind of poor thing am I? I gave him money... and he gave me permission to do everything!
Let's drink to the rich people!

Characters: presenter, stargazer, oriental dance performer.
(The hall is decorated in oriental style (fruits, organza, oriental lanterns, pillows).
On the wall- a comic collage from a photograph of the wife of the hero of the day in various years and in various forms.
The collage is called “My Favorite Harem”. The presenter comes out to the sounds of A. Ukupnik’s song “Petrukha.”)
Leading: Good evening friends! I welcome you to today’s celebration, which I am pleased to begin with poetic lines:
Abode of wisdom and sun,
A sprout of great antiquity!
His mysteries are endless -
I invite everyone to the east!
Dear guests! Today we have a chance to experience the whole flavor of the East, namely: take a trip to the famous oriental bazaar, feel the aromas of various spices, taste exotic fruits, see an original dance oriental beauty, meet the famous Baghdad stargazer and much more! This wonderful gift of fate is to attend a real holiday oriental life- became possible thanks to the hero of the day, respected... (name and patronymic of the hero of the day).
And it is to him that I dedicate the first ancient oriental toast: Once upon a time to the padishah, who became famous for his good deeds, the wizard came and brought him three priceless gifts. He told him: “My first gift is health! May you be strong and not subject to illness. My second gift is oblivion of fears, sorrows and troubles. Cleanse your soul from these burdens! And the third gift is the gift of intuition, which will tell you in life the right move." Let us wish our hero of the day these three gifts: health, oblivion of sorrows and intuition that would lead him through life in a happy way! (Short pause.) Host: Friends! In the previous wise oriental toast, we wished the birthday boy to have three priceless gifts in life: health, oblivion of sorrows and intuition. Now let’s ask him to accept three equally valuable gifts purchased at a real oriental bazaar. All three items symbolize wealth, which is also very necessary in our lives!
(Three assistants in oriental costumes carry out souvenirs on beautiful trays, which are presented to the hero of the day with brief explanations for them.)
1. A three-legged toad with a coin in its mouth is a very popular Eastern symbol of great luck. The coin in the mouth represents gold. The easiest way to activate money energy is to place one toad in each room of the house or place it on the office desk. The main thing is to make sure that the toad is sitting with its back to the door, as if it had just jumped into your house.
2. The money tree is the most common symbol of wealth. An old oriental legend tells about it: when a tree is shaken, gold coins, like drops of rain, fall to the ground. We hope that the rain of these coins will literally flood your home. But be careful - don't drown!
3. Oranges and tangerines in beautiful vase- in the east they symbolize gold and successful business. Let a vase with these fruits decorate your home at any time of the year!
Leading: Once in an eastern caravanserai I overheard beautiful words of wisdom which I want to say today in this hall: those trees with deep roots have lush foliage. You, of course, guessed that we are talking about the inextricable connection between children and their parents. We bow deeply to the respected... (patronymic name of the parents of the hero of the day) for their love and patience! After all, they gave the world such a wonderful son! (Congratulations to the parents of the hero of the day.) (Short musical pause.)
The chorus of the song “Eastern Tales” performed by the group “Brilliant” sounds.
Leading: It is known that the East is full of secrets and mysteries. Perhaps the most mysterious and charismatic eastern personalities are magicians and soothsayers. Meet one of them - the keeper of great secrets, an expert on human destinies, a sage and astrologer from Baghdad, Huseyn Guslia!
The stargazer comes out with a turban on his head, a small book bound in velvet in his hands, and a bag of coffee beans on his wrist.
Astrologer: Oh, most respected ones! Greetings to all of you and especially to the most noble man who has brought together such a large number of friends! I believe that prosperity and happy summers await everyone present! Let me arrange a short exam on your knowledge of the most ancient eastern science - astrology. So, my friends, pay attention! The zodiac horoscope divides the year into twelve signs, which are the focus of my questions:
1. Which zodiac sign bears the royal title? (A lion)
2. What sign can whistle on the mountain? (Cancer)
3. Which sign is like itself like two peas in a pod? (Twins)
4. What sign can lead to flooding? (Aquarius)
5. Which sign has sharp horns? (Capricorn)
6. Which sign can accurately hit the target? (Sagittarius)
7. What sign is the husband of a gentle lamb? (Aries)
8. Which sign is the most feminine? (Virgo)
9. Which sign is considered the most stubborn? (Calf)
10. What sign would a woman never agree to stand on in the presence of a man? (Scales)
11. What sign does a poisonous sting have? (Scorpion)
12. What sign does every angler dream of? (Fish)
Astrologer: I am convinced that you are well versed in the doctrine of stars, planets and their combination, but the exam is not over yet! The real magical oriental talisman will be received by the one who names:
- the zodiac sign under which the hero of the day was born;
- a symbol of the year when the birthday boy was born.
The astrologer gives beads and beans to guests who answer these questions correctly. Beans are considered in the East to be a love talisman, as well as a powerful amulet. To make beads, you need to soak the beans in water, string them on a thin fishing line and let them dry. In parting, the astrologer offers to tell fortunes to the hero of the day in the ancient oriental way - using coffee beans.
Fortune telling on coffee beans
The astrologer takes 6 coffee beans from his bag and gives them to the hero of the day.
The birthday boy, to the accompaniment of a calm oriental melody, pouring beans from hand to hand, should imagine how the coffee seeds are saturated with his energy. Then he needs to bring his palms to his forehead, close his eyes and concentrate on the exciting problem. After this, the fortuneteller throws the grains on the table, and the astrologer counts how many of them fell upside down and reads out the prediction: when solving a problem that worries you, you will discover a lot of new and useful things. In the meantime, open a bottle of wine and don’t think about anything!
The astrologer says goodbye and leaves. The first verse and chorus of the song “Harem” performed by Irina Allegrova sounds.
Leading: Is it possible to imagine the East without beautiful brown-eyed beauties;
without the magical ringing of monist, sparkling beads, flowing chiffon and silk, delicate velvet;
without the glitter of jewelry and the charm of music, turning every woman into a fairy-tale goddess.
Our holiday will not be complete without fiery oriental dance. Meet Jamila - a beautiful representative of the East!
Music sounds and a dancer performs a dance. At the end of her speech, Jamila silently leaves a mysterious package on the table and disappears.
Leading: Like these ones beautiful women live in the East! Let's see what's inside the package.
The presenter takes out a hookah and an old parchment with an inscription from the package.
Leading(unfolding the parchment): This is an appeal from all Eastern women to our hero of the day!
Is reading:
Padishah of the Persian fairy tale!
We ask for mercy.
And from all eastern women,
We present you with a hookah as a gift!
Let them immediately appear in your dreams
Sensual concubines moan.
And the hookah smoke will give
Sleep and sweet languor.
All of us, women of the East,
We would be happy to join you in your harem
Night, moon, hookah and you -
There is no better reward in life!
Signatures: Gyulchatay, Zukhra, Zarina, Guzel, Saida, Hafiza, Leila, Zulfiya and then 18 more female names.
Leading(passing the hookah to the hero of the day): Unfortunately, we have to disappoint these 26 lovely women - they have no chance of getting into the harem of the hero of the day! All harem places are occupied by the only and beloved wife... (wife's middle name). Sometimes difficult, but happy years were lived with her, and the wife always, in one person, perfectly coped with the responsibilities of a wife, mistress, mother, and keeper of the hearth.
(The presenter draws the guests’ attention to a comic collage of photographs of his wife).
It is no coincidence that the hero of the day, calling this collage “My Favorite Harem,” awarded his wife the highest title - his beloved and only wife!
(Congratulations to the wife of the hero of the day.)
Leading: I'll tell you a secret: maintaining a harem is not an easy task! In the East they tell the following story: the Sultan’s harem was located five kilometers from the palace. Every day the Sultan sent his servant to fetch the girl. The Sultan lived to be a hundred years old, and the servant died at thirty. Moral: It’s not women who kill men, it’s running after them! To be ready to conquer many women, you need to have excellent health and a trained body. I invite men to be the owners of a harem and try to win the hearts of the ladies present here! The presenter selects two men from among the guests to participate in the competition, and the third participant is the hero of the day.
HULA-HOOP IN EASTERN STYLE
(Competition for men)
Three participants - candidates for sultan - are given hula hoops and fans.
The one who can spin the hoop around his waist for the longest time, while fanning himself with a fan, wins the competition and gets the right to take a souvenir photo among the beautiful inhabitants of the “harem”, that is, simultaneously with all the women present at the celebration.
During the competition, ladies are encouraged to cheer loudly for the potential sultans. The presenter sums up the results so that the winner is the hero of the day. Even if the birthday boy failed to complete the task, we can declare that the support of his fans was the most active. The birthday boy and the ladies present at the celebration pose for the photographer.
Leading: Eastern wisdom says: “The tongue is one, the ear is two; say it once, twice - listen! Especially for the winner of the competition, our dear hero of the day... (first name)
Everyone’s favorite song from the film “Prisoner of the Caucasus” is performed. The song “If I were a Sultan” sounds, then there is a dance break.
Leading: You cannot ignore the famous oriental cuisine, which has recipes for thousands of delicious dishes that can surprise even the most sophisticated gourmet. It is known that in the East, many spices are used when preparing dishes. The prize will be given to the one who names the most expensive spice in the world. (Answer: Saffron is the most expensive spice and is valued more expensive than gold, because the process of its production is very labor-intensive.)
The prize for the correct answer is a set of spices.
Leading: I announce women's competition for the best connoisseur of oriental sweets! Why female? Because they are the ones with the biggest sweet tooth.
EASTERN SWEETS
(Contest)
The competition involves three women who take turns pronouncing the names of oriental sweets. If the word is not named, the participant is eliminated. Possible options answers: baklava, shaker, kurabiye, churchkhela, candied fruits, Turkish delight, kozinaki, badam, nougat, halva, sherbet, grilled cakes, marshmallows, marshmallows, marmalade. The winner receives a set of oriental delicacies.
Leading: In the East they say this: you can lead a camel to water, but you cannot force it to drink. Men, it's time to test the truth of these words!
EASTERN TALE
Three participants (men) distribute roles among themselves: the first neighbor, the second neighbor and the nickel. The presenter reads the text, and when their role is mentioned, the players drink a glass of vodka.
Fairy tale: One day two neighbors went to the market to sell wine. Along the way, the neighbors sat down to rest and have a snack.
“It would be nice to have a glass of wine now,” the first neighbor sighed.
- I agree, but we are bringing wine to sell, and not a drop should be wasted! - the second neighbor reasoned.
Then the first neighbor searched his pockets, found a copper coin and said to the second neighbor:
- Pour me a nickel worth of wine.
The second neighbor poured him one glass, then returned the same nickel and asked the first neighbor: - Now you pour it for me.
So this nickel passed from hand to hand until the wineskins were empty, and both neighbors snored, drunk and happy with the trade.
So let's drink to a successful deal!
The game participants and spectators drink.
Leading: Like this cautionary tale! Our “camels” didn’t want to drink, but we had to! Now let's give them a sobriety test. To identify the most sober, I ask the participants in the game to take turns loudly and clearly pronounce the following simple phrase: the concept of social stratification. The men try to complete the task, the presenter announces the name of “The Most Sober” and invites him to move to the opposite category, that is, drink a large glass of vodka.
If the player agrees (drinking is not necessary), then he is awarded the second honorary title “The Bravest”.
Leading: Friends! And now I propose a test of collective intelligence! You have to correctly solve the riddle with an oriental twist. I will read the text and ask a question, and at the right moment you will give me the correct answer in unison.
EASTERN MYSTERY - GIVEAWAY
Behind the carved lattice of the garden,
Among the eastern greenery,
Three tired travelers
They walked peacefully on a moonless night.
The first one said: “Where is she?
The light of my eyes is the moon!”
The second one answered in the darkness:
“May Allah help us!”
Well, the third did this: Eeyore! Eeyore! Eeyore!
It was an old donkey!
Suddenly broke through from behind the clouds
Bright, full, lunar circle.
The first one cried out:
"Here she is! The light of my eyes is the moon!”
With gratitude in your eyes:
The second said: “Oh, Allah!” (To the audience)
Attention! In chorus of the third man, tell me the words!
Guests' response: Eeyore! Eeyore! Eeyore!
Leading: Now everyone, quickly grab your ears. (Pause) Is everything okay? Has anyone's ears gotten bigger? And then you screamed so naturally... It was, of course, a joke. And now I will make a serious oriental toast and ask everyone present to support me! In the East they think like this: if you want to be happy for one day, get drunk, if you want to be happy for one week, get sick, if you want to be happy for one month, get married, and if you want to be happy all your life, be healthy! Let's raise a glass to the health of the hero of the day!
TOAST
Congratulations to the guests, musical pause. During a musical break, the host stops the music and offers to listen to an instructive oriental story.
Leading: A fool saw a watermelon at the market and asked:
- What it is?
“A donkey egg,” they answered him.
He chose the largest watermelon, put it under his arm and went home. On the way, he dropped a watermelon, and it rolled downhill, hit a stone and cracked. And then a hare jumped out of the bushes and ran away.
- Oh, what a quick donkey hatched, and I missed him! - the fool regretted.
At this point I should have said: let’s drink to the fools, without whom it would be boring to live in the world! However, I prepared a surprise and changed the ending of this story: so let's taste this ripe, fragrant watermelon, and I hope that no one in this room expects that a donkey will hatch from it.
Helpers bring out the watermelon and treat the guests. The musical pause continues. Host: The East has given humanity many very useful inventions. I ask you to raise your hands of those who have an “A” or “B” in history on their matriculation certificate. The guests raise their hands. The presenter invites them to go on stage and holds the “Great Inventions of the East” competition.
GREAT INVENTIONS OF THE EAST
(Team competition)
Three teams of 2-3 people each participate.
Each team is given three items:
- Calendar, sheet of paper, pack of tea;
- Chess piece, silk scarf, bag of rice;
- Compass, chopsticks, paper figurine (origami).
The teams’ task is to conduct historical research in 1 minute and determine in which country each item was invented.
(Correct answers: calendar - Egypt; chess - India; art of origami - Japan; paper, tea, compass, silk, rice, daddies - China.)
The team that gives the most accurate answers gets the right to keep the items as prizes.
Leading: Friends! I suggest you take a look at the eastern Antiquities Shop, where among coins, weapons, dishes, clothing, household items and other antiques you can find truly ancient and mysterious objects. An example of such an unusual acquisition can be this vessel.
The presenter demonstrates a bottle of five-star Armenian cognac, made in the form of an amphora.
Leading: Giving this mysterious vessel as a gift for our birthday boy, the seller of the Antiquities Shop told me the following story:
The ancient vessel was raised
From the waves of the mysterious sea.
And in it is a gray-haired magic gin
Languishing in centuries-old captivity!
P.S. At the bottom the vessel was covered with mud,
And the genie was pretty bored.
He was waiting for the cork to open,
And even a little wild...
Break the seal of times quickly,
Five stars is like five centuries.
And instantly free the genie
You are from the shackles that bind!
Just make a wish -
And he will fulfill it at the same moment!
After all, the famous school of magicians
He was a capable student.
So that gin mothballs spirit
Didn't it seem too gloomy to you?
I just flavored it slightly -
Infusing the bottle with a spirit... cognac.
Leading(handing over the bottle to the hero of the day): Handing over this magical vessel, I want to remind you of the well-known Eastern wisdom: make your wishes with caution, because they can come true.
If the hero of the day offers to immediately open the bottle, its contents are poured out to those who wish, and the one whose glass is filled last is considered the genie. He is obliged to fulfill any wish of the birthday boy.
Leading: Friends! Of course, you know from school curriculum, that the word East is closely associated with such a term as the Great Silk Road. This caravan trade route was the longest and played the role of a connecting link between countries of different civilizations. I propose to repeat this complex route right in our hall and deliver some goods to their destination. I will need the help of two men who will play the role of caravan guards.
The leader selects assistants and forms their “caravans” - two teams of 4-5 people.
THE GREAT SILK ROAD
(Team game)
Team members line up one after another, the caravan leader is in front of everyone. Then all the right legs are tied together, and all the left legs are tied together in the same way. On the starting line lie various items(there shouldn’t be many of them, otherwise the game will drag on), which the “caravan” needs to deliver to its destination - to the finish line.
To prevent the “caravan” from moving back empty, objects are also placed on the finish line. To the sounds of the song “Uchkuduk” performed by the group “Yalla”, the teams begin to move, led by the caravan leaders.
The team that moves all the items first wins.
The game can be complicated by laying a strip of wallpaper from start to finish, then the participants will need to move strictly along this “caravan route”, without going beyond its limits. Players on the winning team receive toy compasses as prizes.
Leading: In the East there is a wonderful way to preserve age. Those days spent with guests do not count. I propose a toast to you, dear guests, because today, without knowing it, you extended the life of our hero of the day! (Dance program.)
High in the mountains, where the sky is so clear that you can see the stars even during the day, and the air is so pure that you can drink it like divine ambrosia, there lived one young man. He lived in a distant mountain village and never went down to the valley. He was strong, powerful and fabulously healthy. In his hands, metal horseshoes bent like the softest clay, and the largest ram from his father’s flock could easily fit on his shoulders. But the time came for the young man to get an education and he went to Big world. Through for a short time, a letter came to the parents in the village that the young man was very ill. So let's drink to immunity, because there is so much infection in our world that in order to survive in it, you need to be born and live in it!
Let's drink to the real horsemen who, even though they know that sex with a woman is not expected, will never refuse beautiful girl in help and protection. Because they know that there is still hope in the world, the theory of probability and the theory of relativity. Unlucky this time, better luck next time! Long live mathematics and the wisest Einstein!
There lived a lamb high, high in the mountains, and more than anything in the world he wanted to soar into the sky like a bird and see all the beauty of mountain nature from a bird's eye view. All his friends and relatives told him that this was not possible and this was a crazy idea, “it’s better to just pinch the grass and walk from place to place, the ram is not capable of anything more,” he heard from everyone around him. But one day, looking at the sky, the lamb fell behind the herd and was grabbed by the scruff of the neck and lifted into the air by an eagle. The lamb was delighted and began to look around. At that moment, the eagle squeezed its clawed fingers on its paws and broke the lamb's back, from which it died. And I want to drink so that our desires do not force us to risk everything we have.
I wish Caucasian health,
So that the friendship is strong,
To respect you
Appreciated and loved by the family!
For your success and luck,
Today I'll drink to the bottom,
And I wish you in addition,
Live with dignity all the years!
An old sage once said powerful words: “There are always two paths in every person’s life. And if you doubt which way you should go, stop and don’t go on more than one.” Let's drink to our understanding of the moment when you need to stop!
One wise elder told me a story. One man, completely exhausted by his hard life, decided to hang himself. When it came to sticking his head into the noose, he suddenly remembered that there was a bottle of vodka left in the refrigerator. He finally decided to have a glass, so to speak. He drank and returned to his previous place, and suddenly it dawned on him that life had improved. The bottom line is this: remember, even when it’s really bad, life will soon get better!
Somewhere far away in the mountains, where the rays of the sun can hardly caress the mountain peaks... There, in a small village, lived a wonderful tribe of mountaineers. Each of its representatives was beautiful, smart and ideal. But, alas. No one in the world could admire this fact. After all, not a single soul simply knew about him. So let’s drink so that our virtues always receive appropriate attention and can be appreciated by others.
One very strong and proud horseman was so proud that he never accepted help from anyone. And then one day he was walking home late and stumbled. fell and broke his leg. He could not get up and walk home, and because of his pride he did not want to call anyone to help him. And he became so weak that he froze at night and died. So let's drink to the fact that we would be proud, but always understand that there are situations that cannot be dealt with without friendly help. For friendship, my dears.
High, high in the mountains, among the magnificent snowy peaks, lived the freshest and freest wind. He was fast as a lightning strike, strong as the ninth wave and brave as a young man in love! But then one day, he decided to look at the world beyond the mountain peaks and descended into the valley. And I saw a strange thing created by human hands - it was a windmill. The free wind decided to take a closer look at the incomprehensible thing, but it got so entangled in the blades that it could never get out. And ever since then he has been spinning the mill’s wings and knows no other life. So let's drink to the fact that curiosity will never deprive us of freedom!
One day, one ruler of distant countries dressed as a commoner and went down to the village to see how the locals lived, and to choose a wife for himself. He liked three girls. He invited them to the palace, saying that the ruler was looking for someone with whom he would share the throne. Two girls arrived at the appointed time, dressed in the most expensive decorations, but the third never appeared. The next day, he went down to the village again, found out where the girl lived and came to her home. The girl lived in the poorest house and in a huge family. The king asked why she didn’t come to his palace, why didn’t she want to become a wife, become rich? The girl replied that family, love, honor and happiness cannot be bought for any money in the world. So, let’s drink, friends, so that our families are in order, so that we are loved not for our earnings, but for our soul, so that there is happiness in every home, and so that no one doubts our honor!
