A safari-style children's birthday scenario is suitable for a holiday both in honor of a boy and in honor of a girl. But boys prefer this topic more often than girls. As for the age of the children, by slightly adjusting the script, it can be used to celebrate the birthday of a child from 4 to 8 years old. The younger the birthday man and his guests, the easier the games should be and the less fun should be included in the script, as babies get tired quickly.

What is a safari? Initially, safari meant hunting in East Africa, but today the word "safari" is used to refer to travel, excursions, trips to the wild, most often African. Children of this age, as a rule, are interested in everything related to animals, travel, the world around them, so a safari-style birthday will definitely appeal to them.

Benefits of a safari holiday - the ability to make the nursery bright, hot and exciting, like a long trip. In addition, at the festival, kids can learn something new for themselves and demonstrate their already existing knowledge about the wildlife of Africa.

Children's birthday in safari style: preparation for the holiday

1. Invitations. In invitations, of course, you need to designate the theme of the holiday. Then the children will wait for their birthday with even greater excitement, and they will come to the holiday prepared.

It is better to choose or make your own with images of the jungle, African animals, safari, etc. You can take a photo of the hero of the occasion in a safari suit and use this image for the front of the invitation card.

Invitations can be designed as safari tickets, which indicate the date, time and place of the safari. In such an invitation, you can specify in what clothes children need to come to the holiday (for example, “tourist costume” or “safari costume”).

In the invitation-ticket, you can leave one side blank. Have the children take their tickets to the party. If possible, at the celebration, an adult will take a picture of each child by the hand with the birthday boy on a Polaroid or on a digital camera (in this case, you will need a color printer). Ready-made Polaroid pictures or images printed on a printer, while the children are having fun at the holiday, one of the adults will paste into personalized invitations. At the end of the holiday, invitations-tickets must be returned to the children as a keepsake.

2. Suits. By signing invitations, you can ask guests to come to the party in safari-style clothing. However, you can make costumes yourself: for example, make safari helmets out of paper. They can also be made from plastic deep plates with a rounded bottom and wide edges. After making holes, tie ties - for example, from jute twine. If you do not want to do needlework, buy simple and very inexpensive khaki safari-style panama hats in a hunting store.

Also buy cheap plastic binoculars and hang them around the neck of the children who came to the holiday. Binoculars can also be made with your own hands with your child, preparing for the holiday. If you glue two plastic cups together, cut off the bottoms and stick cellophane or tape in their place, you get funny binoculars. Don't forget to tie a string or cord to the homemade binoculars so the kids can put them around their necks. In addition, boys can be offered bandanas, and girls can be offered scarves with predatory prints.

3. Decor of the venue of the holiday. Try to create the atmosphere of the African jungle and the tourist camp set up in them. It will turn out bright, festive and cozy. For this, you can use green fabric draperies, green balloons, jungle posters, a couple of artificial palm trees, etc.

Hang from the ceiling, curtains and walls of toy animals, animal masks and carnivorous balloons. If not too lazy, make pointers and also fix on the wall: Zimbabwe - 4000 km, Sahara Desert - 5000 km, Ngorongoro Crater - 500 km.

April 3, 2016

If you want a holiday with minimal conventions and restrictions, and a maximum of open tanned bodies- we invite you to familiarize yourself with African party. Another one great idea how to celebrate a birthday in summer!

An African safari style party attracts active youth not only with bright appearance participants, but also by the absence special requirements to behavior and dress code: just perky, liberated “chunga-changa”!

Safari is a journey to observe the natural, primeval conditions of wildlife and exotic animals. Once it assumed a real hunt, but at the present time, perhaps a photo hunt.

Africa- a huge continent that accommodates 61 countries and covers several climatic zones. This gives us the opportunity to roam "on wide leg". But we are interested in that part of the continent where funny uneducated people still run and hungry predators roam.

And so, let's move on to step-by-step birthday planning, well, or whatever you decide to celebrate there!

1. Event organizer

An original celebration is best arranged outside the city: a lot of noise and reckless competitions are planned, therefore, the farther you are from the prying eyes of neighbors and ordinary passers-by, the more real everything will turn out.

Attributes for this event are quite extensive and cumbersome, therefore, it is better to start preparing three weeks before the important date. Try to distribute responsibilities among the participants.

Orders will be something like this:


Tips for those who will independently experiment with dyes.

Each dye adheres to the skin differently. Everyone has to go to work on Monday, and the appearance there in the form of an evil African pygmy or a spree zebra may not be understood. Therefore, consider the following information:

  • Henna staying with you for 3 weeks is clearly not an option.
  • Theatrical makeup easily smeared during the walk and spoil the mood.
  • felt-tip pen for a tattoo comes off within 3 days, and with spots.
  • face painting- a good option for a high-quality pattern, and with a latch it will last until the first shower!
  • The easiest, most affordable and easy way provide yourself with dyes - cook yourself by mixing desired colors gouache with a small amount of glycerin or petroleum jelly. Thus, the paint will be evenly applied to the body and will not crack when it dries! And you can wash it off as soon as such a desire arises. Before applying gouache to avoid allergic reactions better apply on the body fat cream and let it soak in.

2. African party invitations

Call guests at 11.00 on a day off. While everyone is admiring each other's costumes, snapping selfies, it's time for lunch.

The invitation card can follow the shape of the African continent, or simply framed in the spirit of all the fun.

Text option for men:

“______ (name), ready to check how iron your balls are? Then drag them on Saturday at 11.00 to the appointed place. Prepare your full gear - let's go on a Safari! It will be dangerous, scary and you will want to squeal like a frightened little girl! Don't forget the dress code or I'll get mad and you'll start screaming before the Safari starts!"

Text option for women:

“They say that at your age a woman is brash and sultry, like Africa. Come Saturday at 11:00. to the appointed place and become the face of a Safari-style party".

3. Dress code and meeting guests

Both sexes, playing the tribal population of wild Africa, dress and adorn themselves in very similar ways. Loincloths, beads made from the teeth and horns of predators, feather ornaments, painted faces and bodies.


Hunters adhere to a sports-camping style.

Who wants to be reincarnated as animals, have the opportunity to become the brightest characters. Only body art is worth it. In principle, it is enough to decorate the hands or face. You can't get by without professional help.

If possible, think of a tent where the audience can change clothes and decorate the bodies before entering the festival area.

4. Making an African meadow

Rent a mini-bus or a couple of jeeps, just like on a real Safari.

It is necessary to divide the yard into two zones: desert and thickets. This will provide an opportunity to visit several geographical areas at once with their abundance of flora and fauna. Be sure to get and pour a mountain of sand on the "half of the desert", imitate sand dunes on it, place rubber creeping animals. And in the background is a banner with an image of an endless desert to enhance the effect. Here are the coolest photos!

The second half needs to be qualitatively decorated with artificial vines and other vegetation that they could get. You can fix all this on fishing nets or on those that summer residents use to weave cucumbers. Hang thickets on trees, be sure to attach peeking monkeys, real bananas, a couple of coconuts and colorful parrots. Bushes everywhere will also come in handy, and will help hunters hide.

It is necessary to prepare acoustic effects in advance: according to developing events, the voices of exotic birds, the crackling of cicadas, the growling of a lion, the hissing of snakes and the rumbling voice of an elephant during the mating season should be carried across the clearing.

Ideally fit into the scenario of the hut. WITH outside it must be decorated with dry reeds. And inside, decorate with attributes of the life of a wild people: masks, amulets, working equipment, hunting gear, skins of dead animals, their stuffed animals ... A fabric or a banner with imitation of rock paintings will look great.
The feasting part of the event will take place here.

Choose a secluded place where you can "figure out" the consequences of the fight of wild animals. Here it is necessary to scatter the bone models prepared in advance (you can use gelatin bones from a pet store) and pour a puddle of "blood" from red paint for credibility.

5. Menu and drinks

To maintain the theme of the party, you need to arrange an exhibit table, where all sorts of cool trinkets in the form of stone beads, feather crowns and everything you can build and get on the topic of Aboriginal treasures will be presented.

Serving involves maximum minimalism. We use napkins on the sly. We eat mostly with our hands. As a plot for a photo, you can play a small fight at the table for a juicy piece of meat.

Naturally, the dishes can be very diverse, but the serving should match the style of the party: large, roughly and unevenly cut pieces of meat and slices of bread, "game" on the bone, sandwiches, potatoes and fish on the coals, coarsely cut vegetable salads and just whole vegetables on dishes . The presence of a couple of cans of canned food (any) and canned carbonated drinks is mandatory: you can play a small comic moment at the table when a representative of the wild people takes these gastronomic finds from the hunter's backpack and tries to open them, tormented by guessing what it is and why.

The fruit assortment, in addition to the usual apples, pears, plums, peaches and grapes, must necessarily include an abundance of exotic choices. Coconuts, pineapples, bananas, figs, dates and mangoes will be appropriate.
Clay or wooden glasses are well suited.

From alcohol, opt for vodka, beer and wine.

6. Entertainment scenario

First of all, group photos and dances around the fire with the characteristic exclamations of the wild people (everyone slaps their lips with their palms, making the familiar sounds of Tarzan and wild Papuans). Secondly, contests.

"Get bananas for lunch."

Remember that there is vegetation with fruits in the yard. In the competition, we invite participants to knock down bananas using any materials at hand. The competition can be complicated: get only bananas, in no case touch the coconut; or vice versa - one banana and one coconut, etc. Organize everything so that there are options: reach out with a “spear”, climb a tree, shoot down with a boomerang. Let the natives be smart, and the people will be amused by their efforts. The requirements are met - we give a cocktail in a coconut.

"Hunt the prey."

We organize a group of tribal residents, a group of hunters from the world of civilization and a victim - one of the guests in an animal role. We give time to the beast to hide, and send teams to hunt. In the course of the search, do not forget to photograph events against the backdrop of picturesque landscapes. The team that discovers the beast first wins, they receive a charm for the tribe as a prize. After finding the victim, play a small chase. The people are happier, and the photos are cooler.

"The Marriage Dance of a Lonely Papuan".

When the guests are a little liberated, it is worth offering the public bolder contests. Choose an active dancer and give the task to dance the Papuan dance in the process of seducing the woman you like. The prize is a kiss from a beauty of the dancer's choice!

"The Seductive Dance of the Wild Woman".

We repeat the previous competition, but already performed by a girl. The prize is determined by the dancer herself!

Group competition " Best Performance dance "Chunga-changa".

Everything is clear here. Two teams compete to win a ripe sweet pineapple. The more incendiary and synchronous "Chunga-changa" wins.

"Lambada"

The dance is performed in pairs: two pairs at a time, until all the guests dance. The couple that "started" the crowd more than the rest wins. The prize - "drink of love" - ​​bright alcoholic cocktails for two.

"What is this?"

Prepare things from the world of civilization on the table in advance: smartphone, fork, plate, matches, condom, shampoo, toilet paper… The daredevil (wild man) who volunteered must portray a vivid first reaction to each thing, offer his own options for its use, or come to its intended purpose by trial and error. Now is the time to take pictures! Give the participant a "dream catcher" so that he will never forget the hospitality of his "compatriots".

"Countries of the African Continent"

Two contestants are invited to name African countries in turn. The one who remembers more states wins. The prize is a magnet in the form of the African continent or a keychain.

"Cross the bridge over the abyss"

As it usually happens, some of the guests will definitely “blur” more than others from the alcohol they have drunk. That's what we need! Lay two long ropes parallel to each other on the ground (the distance between them is a foot wide). This will be an impromptu bridge. We voice the task - to go to the other side and save the leader's daughter from the captivity of the warring tribe. The contestant will certainly “fall off the bridge” and earn a loud ovation. Well, and a medal from us "The most dexterous warrior of the tribe"!

"Datura potion"

Two teams are given the task of making an intoxicating drink for the elder. The birthday boy determines whose drink is tastier, more beautifully decorated and more “hit in the head”. The prize from the hero of the occasion is the medal "tribal healer".

"In the language of the tribe"

We propose to finish the competitive program with the most creative of all tasks. Two teams (all participating) are invited to write a short narrative on a free topic in a fictitious language. Let it be literally 3-4 sentences, but related in meaning. Example: “Koronok turned around from the karyamba. Pereben was thrashing the pipe. Koronok flashed and scandalized. Let the guests guess the embedded meaning for a long time. There will be a lot of options and each will cause a sea of ​​positive emotions.

More interesting contests look at nature.

7. Party music

Download a selection of nature sounds and the characteristic exclamations of the tribes during their ritual dances on the Web. Well complement the selection of the song “Island of Bad Luck”, the song of Little Red Riding Hood “Ah-ah, in Africa the mountains are so high!”, “Chunga-changa”, “Lambada”, “Hakunamatata”, a song about Barmaley, “Chuchuk”. And then - just rhythmic compositions with wooden drums and everything that the "degree" of the guests dictates!

8. Presenting a gift to a birthday person

It is possible to present a gift in an unusual way, as part of a theme party. This can be done in the following way.

For example, our birthday boy or birthday girl at the beginning of the holiday - in the role of a hunter. Then, the wild tribe takes the hero of the occasion into captivity. In the course of a short communion, the captive is recognized as the messenger of the gods and exalted to the rank of leader. As a sign of reconciliation and to appease the leader, he is dressed in clothes, according to his status, the winner is painted and a valuable gift is brought as a gift.

Give what was agreed in advance, but wrap the value in the skin of an animal and bring it on a makeshift "stretcher", pretending that it is insanely hard for you to carry. Before handing, perform the ritual of “fumigation” with sacred smoke - a precaution against evil spirits. You can use fragrant incense or bakhoor. If you use ordinary smoke, the gift will quickly and permanently absorb the inappropriate smell.

9. End of the holiday

The festive glade is simply replete with corners for photo shoots and beckons to create memorable pictures throughout the celebration. But try to be "in shape" until the very end, in order to be able to take as many photos as possible with a cheerful warm-up crowd! After all, the most liberated and bold photo will be in the final. Well, if "poisonous" drinks, after all, put you out of action, be prepared to see yourself the next day in the photo as a prisoner, bound hand and foot!

Have fun "Hakunamatata!", which translates as "without worries" from the Swahili language - the people of the African continent.

Despite the fact that civilization has long come to many African countries, we still associate it with traditional tribes: primitive dances to the sounds of an African drum, exotic food and outrageous ethnic costumes are the first things that come to mind when it comes to party in African style.

Where to party

Best place to party outdoors or in a cave (nightclub or any other dark room). In the first case, we will be able to organize unbridled African dances around a live fire, in the second case, it will be possible to build an impromptu bonfire on our own.

Inviting guests

Your guests will appreciate if you make your own party invitations. Possible various options invitations - the main thing is that they should be stylized as rock art. You can and should involve your children in the preparation of invitation cards. Believe me, no one will cope with the task better than them. Invitations with the image of traces of wild animals will also look original. Be sure to mention the necessary dress-code in the invitation text. The invitations themselves can be rolled up and tied with coarse string with chicken bones.

Creating an entourage and the corresponding mood

If the party will be held outdoors, it is better to schedule it in the evening, because. hot dances around the fire to the sounds of African tam-tama will be the best entourage for such an event. If the holiday is planned indoors, you can hang electric garlands near the ceiling, which will resemble stars with their flicker, and tropical fruits on the walls.

From additional props you will need ethnic african masks, primitive tools, animal skins (you can use old fur coats or artificial fur) and, of course, palm trees. If you do not have live palm trees growing in soil or pots, you can make them yourself from balloons or paper and coarse twine. In the first case, you will need long balls, from which a very cheerful palm tree will turn out, in the second - wrap a thick stick with twine (you will get a palm trunk), and make palm leaves from colored paper or starched fabric.

Dress-code "African natives"

How Africa itself is full of ethnic diversity, and the outfits of your guests should be distinguished by bright colors and colorful elements. Girls can choose puffy straw skirts, tight-fitting leopard print outfits or robes made of colorful ribbons and ethnic fabrics for their outfit. Hair can be braided African braids, and decorate clothes with colorful necklaces made of pebbles or chicken bones. Men can tie straw skirts around their biceps, necklaces made of chicken bones will also be appropriate, and the final touch will be a spear that will emphasize the masculinity and determination of the “African natives”.

Exotic food and drink

In the wake of an African party, you do not have to feed your guests with real scorpions and bugs, king prawns, chicken nuggets and clams can play their role. Organically on the table will look fried fish and chicken, richly seasoned with curry, cinnamon, cloves, saffron and chili. Fruits will be a good table decoration: African cuisine does not exist without coconuts and bananas, as well as mangoes, kiwis and other exotic fruits. Juices and nectars from the listed fruits, as well as pomegranate fresh, will also come to the place. By alcoholic beverages it is best to stop at tangerine liqueur and honey Ethiopian wine. After a hearty dinner, you can have an Ethiopian coffee ceremony that will bring a lot of pleasure to your guests.

Entertainment of primitive people

The main entertainment at an African party, of course, should be unbridled primitive dances near the fire. Ideally, you want African drums that the guests themselves can play, plunging into a kind of trance. You also need to stock up on a record with African rhythms, because. guests may sooner or later get tired of beating their tam-tams. good decision can become discs with Jamaican reggae.

At an African-style party, mobile beach competitions and power competitions will be quite appropriate. Don't be afraid to improvise and you'll be fine!
