Verb (abbreviation of verb) activity content

1. camouflage

Arrange a dance as the opening program, preferably a traditional dance in China, in which the actors put on their own masks before taking the stage. After the dance, we move on to the next step-everyone in the world knows you. The dancers stay on the stage, and the audience will point out who is behind the mask. One of the rules is that the object cannot be a roommate. You can guess the material reward of the opposite sex in his class.

Finally, take off the mask and reveal the true face of Lushan Mountain. The winner is the person who pretends to be the most successful in guessing, that is, the guessing process is the most bumpy and tortuous, and the host will give material rewards (either fruit or moon cakes, which can be mastered flexibly). Note: In principle, students participate voluntarily and bring their own masks (which can be made by themselves). This program can not only create a festive atmosphere, but also promote the traditional culture of China, and at the same time enhance the mutual exchange and understanding among students.

2. Mike is crazy

Inform each student in advance to learn an English song or translate a pop song (only the climax part is needed). Two classes will start a K-song contest, and each class will send contestants to sing on stage in turn, with the class with a large number of participants as the champion. The host gave oral praise and cheered a privilege.

3. Forge my style (theatrical performance)

The script of the play should be written in English, with the family or dormitory as the background, such as "I love my family" and "Northeast People". The theme is to highlight that the school is also our home, and the plot should focus on "Everyone is not alone in the Mid-Autumn Festival", highlighting the friendship, family, unity and harmony atmosphere in the dormitory and even the whole class. The most important thing is to use English in this play, so that everyone can feel fun and practice their spoken English at the same time, so as to achieve the purpose of entertaining.

4. Fighting (interactively solving riddles on lanterns)

First prepare prizes (fruits, moon cakes, sweets, etc.). ), put the following riddles into cartons and have a game between the two classes. Each class sends representatives to draw riddles for each other, and each class guesses five riddles to decide the winner. If there is a draw, it will last until it is broken. Prizes are awarded by the host, and each riddle will be rewarded accordingly. Finally, give the winner the privilege of cheering as the winner's proudest trophy. (The riddle is attached)

5. Steal the day (word replacement)

Prepare a passage for participants to change a word or word to "Mid-Autumn Festival" when reading aloud. Students volunteered to participate, and the host timed each participant, with the fastest winner. For example, "when xx called, I was sleeping happily in my bed, jumping from side to side, feeling that my bed was the whole world. Actually, my bed is really big. I only have two hobbies, watching movies and sleeping. If someone doesn't let me sleep when I'm exhausted, it's better to chop me to death. I'll be grateful to tears. So of course, I made the bed so comfortable. I once told my mother that I would carry it when I got married. " You can read the words "I" and "De" as "Mid-Autumn Festival".

6. ghost blows light

Six students are randomly selected according to their student numbers (preferably voluntarily), with 2 students in each group. Two students in each group stand face to face. The host lit a candle and stood between the two participants. Two students started English situational dialogue until the candle was blown out. Breathing sounds such as "putting" and "apple" can blow out candles. The stage lights in the program can be dimmed, and a candle blown out in the dark can even render a horrible atmosphere, so this program is called "Ghost Blowing Lights". (Note that some students are responsible for restoring the lights in time. )

7. Please think twice about your relatives during the festival.

Randomly select four students according to their student numbers or other ways, let them call home in full view, say what they want to say most at this time, and send the warmest greetings and blessings to the whole family. Whoever can impress the students the most will win. Considering that two classes are not good referees, five students can be selected as referees first.

8. Classic showdown

When two classes play songs, just like during military training, students in the other class are selected as targets, and pressure is put on them to perform on stage to entertain everyone. If there is a teacher present, the teacher is the first target.

9. secrets you can't tell

The host lit the candle symbolizing the Mid-Autumn Moon, put out all the lights in the classroom and kept the room absolutely quiet. Everyone prays for their loved ones and those who love themselves against the "moon" in their hearts, and the time is about 10 to 15 seconds. This activity is to cultivate everyone's love. Because it is the most sacred prayer and blessing in the heart, it is named "unspeakable secret".

10. We are all family.

The ending program sang the common aspiration of everyone in the form of chorus. The host drew up several songs, such as Friends by Emil Wakin Chau and Your deskmate by Lao Lang, and finally everyone decided which one to sing. After the chorus, the host announced the end of the party.
