Team competition: “French in spirit”
Party participants are divided into 2-4 teams. Both groups and pairs can compete (one pair = one team). Let's find out which team is more French in spirit.
Task 1. Presentation
Participants must say their names in the French manner (you can modify the name or focus only on the pronunciation). It is especially important to pay attention to grazing (pronouncing the sound “r” the way the French do). Next, the leader counts how many times the sound “r” appears in the names of the members of each team. Whichever team has more “p” gets 1 point.
Task 2. Abstract art
Leading:
Most tourists coming to France strive to visit not only the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, but also Montmartre, occupied by street artists. Any Frenchman, if he runs out of money, can earn a little extra money by painting tourists. If he doesn't have the ability, he will draw abstractions. You do not believe me? So you are not French! Or is it the French? Let's check if you can make a high-quality abstraction.
Each team receives a blank sheet of paper, finger paints and wet wipes. One participant becomes a sitter, and the rest of the team become artists. They must draw an abstract portrait of a model using their fingers as a tool. 3-5 minutes are given for everything.
The paintings are shown, discussed and kept as souvenirs for the sitters. Each team whose abstraction clearly identifies a portrait of the model receives 1 point.
Task 3. French lovers
The teams receive cards with the names of the French on them. Participants must remember their lovers and mistresses. Perhaps it was unrequited love or a strong relationship. Maybe the affair was extramarital. The person you loved might not be French at all. The main thing is that their names are firmly associated with each other.
Each name can be written on a separate card and teams can be invited to draw several.
1. Constance (Dartagnan)
2. Vanessa Paradis (Johnny Depp)
3. Quasimodo (Esmeralda)
4. Carla Bruni (Nicolas Sarkozy)

Every Frenchman should be able to build the Eiffel Tower. Yes, yes, I'm not joking. They are taught this already in primary school. Now let's see how you deal with this.
Teams are given 50-100 paper cups with or without lids (preferably with lids). The task is to build a tower from them.
Whichever team finishes it faster, using all the glasses, wins, receiving 3 points. The team that completes the task second earns 1 point. Extra points can be awarded for creativity and originality if one team demonstrates these qualities when constructing their tower.
Task 5. Pantomime
Leading:
Have you been to Paris? Then, of course, you saw Parisian mimes entertaining the audience. Every Frenchman should be a bit of a mime. How could it be otherwise, since France is filled with tourists who don’t know a word of French. We have to somehow get out of it by explaining the way to them.
The team chooses one mime. He pulls out a card with a task that contains 3-4 words related to France. Next, the mime demonstrates these words through pantomime to members of his team, and they try to understand what it is about. The presenter times the time. How quickly will all the words be solved?
At the end, the indicators are compared. The team that guessed the words faster than others gets 2 points.
Examples of words for pantomime:

Based on the results of 5 tasks, the results are summed up. Members of the winning team receive medals with the inscription “True Frenchman”. Everyone who took part will be awarded prizes.
After the team competition, you can have other entertainment.
Fun croissants
M+F couples participate. Ladies receive a very long and narrow piece of fabric. The men depict the filling of a croissant. The fabric is the “dough” with which the participants must wrap the filling.
First, the Presenter asks the men to come up with what kind of filling they are. Then the women quickly wrap their “delicious” men in the dough - so that it does not unfold. The winner is the participant who wraps the croissant faster than others.
The fun doesn't end there. The presenter brings to the attention of the audience the show “Dancing Croissants”. The music turns on. Men wrapped in cloth dance. The presenter sets the movements, inviting the croissants to show themselves in all their glory:
- show that you are curvy (dance like fatties)

- show that you are hot (jump slightly)
- offer to eat yourself (use inviting gestures)
- show how anyone who treats you will feel dizzy with happiness (dizzy).
Catching frogs
Leading:
As you know, the French are not averse to eating frog legs. Now we will arrange a traditional French fun - hunting for frogs.
Volunteer hunters are called up - two people. All others remain in their places. The presenter walks near those sitting and distributes chips to them, each of which depicts a particular animal. Hunters do not see the contents of the chips. Only one of those present receives the frog chip.
At the leader’s sign, those sitting begin to make the sounds of the animals that they got in chorus. Some meow, some bark, some moo, some grunt, some bleat, etc. And only one of them croaks. However, this sound is drowned in animal cacophony. The hunters' task is to find the frog as quickly as possible and take it by the hand (catch it by the paw).
Whoever is faster gets a prize. You can repeat the hunt several times, changing hunters if the guests are interested. Each time, the chips are collected, shuffled and distributed again to the participants.

Eyeliner: “Now we will evaluate which of the men has the longest French dignity.” The men and spectators are slightly confused. After which the Presenter clarifies the situation: “We are talking about your French scarves! What were you thinking about?”
Take out a measuring tape and use it to measure the length of the scarves. Whoever has the longest gets a funny prize and a standing ovation as the man with the most impressive dignity.

Music competition "Songs about kisses"
Presenter: For the French, every kiss is a “kiss of the soul”, because with its help it is easiest to confess your feelings and tell a person about what is happening inside, what emotions and storms are raging in the chest. When that very union of souls occurs, each of the lovers has their own song about love and a kiss. By the way, how many songs do we know about kisses? Does everyone remember their contents? Now songs about kisses will be played, while the song is playing, you pass a heart to each other, whoever is caught with a heart in his hands when the music stops, must sing the next lines of the stopped song.

Whoever is the most skillful and feminine Parisian will win.
A competition is being held. An incendiary musical excerpt is played for each participant, the newlyweds choose the best “Parisian”
Presenter(addresses guests): Dear travelers, which of you can name famous symbol the most romantic country in the world? Right! Eiffel Tower. Now it’s hard to believe, but at first this building terribly irritated the Parisians and several times the city’s residents decided to demolish it, but fortunately for travelers around the world, and the French themselves, it never came to this and, soon, the Eiffel Tower became a real attraction and place of pilgrimage for all lovers.
Eiffel Tower Competition
Guests are divided into two teams and given a variety of uninflated balloons, tape and scissors. The number of teams and people in them is not limited, and the task is to inflate balloons and form them into a structure in the form of the Eiffel Tower using tape. Whoever builds the air building first wins.
Presenter: Our teams did an amazing job, don't forget to take a selfie with the landmark in the background.
(you can invite everyone to kiss in front of the Eiffel Tower)
Competition "Tango on the Champs Elysees"
Leading: Another landmark of Paris and a favorite place for tourists to visit is the Champs Elysees, and it is along its expanses that I invite our couples to stroll to the rhythms of tango.
While the music is playing, couples waltz, and as soon as the signal sounds, they freeze, while bending their lady over for a kiss. The couple that can stand for as long as possible in an unusual position will win.
All participants are awarded small prizes, and the winning couple is given the right to invite the newlyweds to walk with them under the Arc de Triomphe.
Entertainment "Walk under the Arc de Triomphe"
The presenter quickly builds a living corridor of guests (several couples), the couples stand facing each other and join hands. The newlyweds pass under it, each of the guests tells them their wishes. The winning couple solemnly accompanies them.
The scenario should be supplemented with traditional wedding moments, games with the newlyweds, congratulations, dance entertainment - at the discretion of the organizers.
Perhaps for entertainment program weddings "Parisian Tango" will come in handy and ideas for the script "On the French Side" (thanks to the author E.A. Potanina)
(download the document by clicking on the file)
As I already understand, various gatherings are very popular in Canada - skiing enthusiasts, golf-mafia-paintball fans..., communities of mothers with small children, etc.
It is difficult to classify us and our environment into the above categories. Some remain passive. My husband very rarely, but still periodically, goes with a group of men either to the Russian bathhouse or to play paintball. And “girls over 30 and under retirement age” and I just love to get together for bachelorette parties. True, not simple, but thematic.
One day, one cool evening, my friends and I decided to get together for a French-style bachelorette party :) Why did such a topic arise? Firstly, some young ladies once taught French,know a lot about France and Quebec. Secondly, all of us have been "on the French side" and we really love French cuisine. And thirdly, I personally just grew up reading books by French writers and French songs...
Moreover, our children are now learning this beautiful language. And some people (guess who) can cry bitterly to the music of Joe Dassin :)
Therefore, such a party was very pleasant for everyone, and we all had a lot of room for imagination :)
In Krasnodar, I also had a fairly large female social circle. But, to be honest, we weren’t going to bachelorette parties, especially themed ones. Sometimes we would just go to a cafe, visit someone, nothing more.
In Canada, Calgary, we get together with the girls quite often. Perhaps life here is so relaxed and settled that it allows everyone to get together without any problems. Or is it the fact that all the young ladies are on wheels and have quite spacious houses. Either we have a creative, close-knit team. Don't know. In any case, with my rebellious, enthusiastic nature, I really like these events :)
I will write about several of our gatherings, which in my opinion are the most striking.
So, for the French party we gathered in big house at Ira's. As always, we agreed in advance to bring something from French cuisine - julienne, all kinds of foie gru, various truffles, frog legs...
It was a joke :) Of course, we never talk about any super-delights. Everything is simple, tasty and imaginative. There was a salad in the shape of the Eiffel Tower (lying, of course:))), French sandwiches, French salads...Even a cake with the poetic name "French Kiss".
What didn't fit the definition? french cuisine", boldly caught our ears :) 
Well, as is our custom, we have all prepared small competitions and various jokes to have fun from the heart. Our group of girls is proven, friendly, and we can have fun even with tea. That’s why our competitions are sometimes quite frank. But such things are only suitable for trusted friends...
The competition enjoys well-deserved prestige every time Guess the hero. When they attach a piece of paper with someone's name on your forehead, head, or anywhere... famous person(V in this case, French - Alain Delon, Mireille Mathieu, Napoleon, Coco Chanel, etc.), and you have to guess who you are now, since you are the one who does not see the inscription on the piece of paper. Asking any questions and receiving only Yes and No answers
And so we began to play and communicate in an interesting and fun way that the husband of Ira, the mistress of the house, Steve (before that he was actively rushing to hockey with his friends), stopped rushing and played a little guessing game with us :) Quite by accident (!) Steve turned up with us Napoleon :)
The next competition, which always goes off with a bang, is Gastronomic.
At home, I prepared a bunch of jars, into which I little by little put this and that from food - liquid or creamy (sour cream, yogurt, ketchup, mustard, various sauces, jam, condensed milk, etc.) The girls had to determine what they were being given to try with their eyes closed ! It just seems that everything is simple. It turns out that you can’t guess some of the simplest dishes without sight!
In general, we died of laughter at this competition too :)
In parallel with the fun competitions, we enjoyed the singing of Joe Dassin and Mireille Mathieu. Naturally, we devoured our “French” dishes by both cheeks and took pictures with the portrait of our all-time favorite Alain Delon..
And from time to time we had to fend off our relatives, who appeared on the horizon every now and then :) They really wanted to turn our bachelorette party into a general gathering :)
Another fun competition - Feel what's on the chair(can you guess what to touch with?) can cheer up the saddest melancholic and deliver lasting impressions to even the most stern person :) A few photos below will speak for themselves.
There were also games Questions and answers(when strips with questions are pulled out from a large pile and they are immediately paired with some funny answer that fits everything). Intellectual competition about events related in one way or another to France, competition Associations(you whisper a word into your neighbor’s ear and he, in turn, whispers to another neighbor in the chain his association with the previous word)..
In general, it was so fun that all the husbands who came to pick us up (well, they couldn’t sit at home!) immediately joined our women’s society.
The circumstances, however, are very interesting! At the moment we are sitting at the Helsinki airport and still can’t fly to Moscow: (Yes, we are finally going to Russia, to our native Krasnodar after a 2.5-year absence. But bad luck: our plane is delayed by as much as a day! And here we are all in nerves and frustration waiting for the weather to come in from the sea! We feel like we’re in the movie “The Terminal” with Tom Hanks :)
But I think this is not the worst thing in life! We really hope for the best!
I also really want to write about our trip to Russia through eastern Canada and New York. I'll try to find time..
If you are expecting guests and want to amaze them with something unusual, then try organizing a party in a French style. First of all, you should decide who exactly will be invited to the holiday. Since the theme of France is multifaceted, the party idea can go in several directions.
If you want to celebrate a memorable date with friends, try organizing a romantic French-style atmosphere for your guests. Subdued light, an abundance of candles and flowers will help you with this; all kinds of compositions with floating candles in the middle of flower petals look very beautiful.
Print two or three beautiful romantic paintings by French artists and place them harmoniously in the room. Quiet, smooth music will put you in a romantic mood.
Invite your guests to wear something chic with expensive jewelry and accessories for the holiday.
Set the table with a crisp white tablecloth and good cutlery. Prepare French meat, fondue, light snacks (cheese cheese, seafood, salads). Champagne or good wine will complement the exquisite menu.
Children's holiday
Organizing such an event will be especially useful for children learning French. The room can be decorated balloons, views of Paris, images of characters from French fairy tales, or photographs of favorite characters from TV series (for example, “Helen and the Boys” for older children).
All guests can be invited to communicate in French either all the time or at certain moments, and at the end of the evening, give the most knowledgeable ones a small book or CD telling about the country. Help your kids show their own taste in choosing clothes by inviting them to play as famous couturiers, and then all together choose the brightest and most extravagant guest. It would be good to use the most unusual traditions and the most famous ones in competitions and games. historical facts of this country. The winners will receive souvenirs and delicacies with French symbols as prizes.
French cuisine is perfect for organizing a children's buffet: tiny cakes, crispy croissants, elegant tartlets will appeal to all participants of the holiday. As for drinks, kids will like unusual fruit cocktails and grape or apple juice.
hen-party
Since France is in the minds of many beautiful ladies associated with fashion and style, there will be no shortage of ideas for organizing a bachelorette party. Traditional red, blue and white colors or images of the most beautiful outfits and jewelry from famous French brands will be suitable for decoration (by the way, this can be an excellent topic for discussion or a riddle competition).
Any music will suit the mood of your party. Girls will probably want to amaze each other when it comes to clothes, so offer them the opportunity to express themselves not only in their own costume, but also organize a “dress your friend with Parisian chic” competition.
Preparing a treat will not cause any difficulties: cheeses different varieties, olives, seafood, fruits and, of course, all kinds of salads will make your table festive and acceptable even for the most desperate diet fans. Light young wines will perfectly complement the feast. You can end the evening by watching a romantic French film or some interesting fashion collection.
The most important thing when organizing a French-style party is a sincere interest in the culture of the country, a sense of taste and a desire to please the guests. Good luck and good mood!
