An example of a script for a children's party
Children love games very much. You can play Minecraft not only on your computer or phone. With a correctly written script, you can immerse the birthday boy and his friends in the world of Minecraft. But for this, parents should understand the game and get to know its main characters.
To begin with, mom and dad can act out a short scene that informs how Steve, one of the main characters of the game, was born.
Prehistory. Steve's parents are Alice and George. They have always lived in the Minecraft World. They don't remember how they got there. One day Alice went for a walk in the meadow, she inhaled the aromas of flowers, ran through the grass and found an unusual egg there - with pimples and 2 times the size of a chicken egg. She took it home, since Georgy was a known cheater and could know what kind of egg it was.
Here you can insert a dialogue between parents. This could be a small swearing or a fight in a comic style. Mom and dad can talk funny and shout at each other. Next, Alice (mother) takes out an egg and asks what it could be. George (father) replies: “Egg... Eh... I’ve never seen anything like this! We need to spawn the one whose egg this is.” “Perhaps,” says Alice and clicks the egg on the ground. And then a small man emerges from him, very similar to dad. And they named him Steve. Then mom says: “Today he celebrates his birthday. Let’s congratulate him together and present our gifts.”
Now you can start playing games. You can play:
- Fanta. The guys take turns drawing out a forfeit, where it is written who or what they should portray. The rest of the guests guess. Sample images:
- exploding creeper;
- Steve, who saw the creeper explode;
- Minecraft animals;
- food or potion.
a zombie who saw fresh brains and went to the victim;
The story should be fun. To achieve this, the text is told in an unusual way. For example, “Once upon a time there was a square grandmother and a square grandfather. One day the square old man says to the square old lady: “Bake, old man, a square bun.” She answers him: “Are you crazy, square old man, where can I get flour for a square bun?” And further in the same spirit.
During the game, you can arrange a photo shoot or shoot a cool video. Afterwards, the birthday boy, his friends and parents will be pleased to remember the fun and unusual holiday.

Competitions and entertainment program
Just thematic decoration and a festive table in the Minecraft colors is not enough. For the holiday to be truly interesting and fun, guests should be entertained. Examples of competitions and programs for hosting a Minecraft party:
- Craft table. This is a kind of competition where you can get sweet prizes and small gifts. To organize a competition, you should divide a sheet of paper into 9 cells. Resources are laid out on these squares according to the scheme (the scheme is given to each individual individually).
Resources are drawings or colored boxes of the same size, hidden indoors or in the yard. The children's task is to find the necessary resources to put together a picture according to a given pattern. Resources can be exchanged, given for nothing, or donated. If the picture is folded, the child receives a prize.
- Pig racing. This game will cause a lot of laughter. First you need to make a pig (or two). To do this, several oblong pink balls are tied together. You can glue a pig's face on the front. Additionally, a fishing rod with a carrot is made (without it, supposedly the pig will not run).
Then they divide the children into 2 teams and conduct a relay race. One child sits on the “pig”, holding a fishing rod with a carrot in front of him, and so runs to a wall or chair, comes back and passes the “pig” to the next team member. The winning team receives the main prize, the losing team receives a consolation gift.
- Duel. This is an important symbol of Minecraft. You can fight with swords in the game style or with aqua sticks. The battlefield becomes a long board or a drawn circle. If you go out of bounds, you lose.
- Building a tower. This is also a characteristic feature of the game. You can build a tower from anything - from matchboxes, cubes, etc.
- Creating a shelter. In a computer game, gamers are often attacked by mobs (evil characters). To protect yourself from them, you should build a shelter. Children are encouraged to create a refuge in real life. Cardboard boxes and tape are suitable for this.
- Draw your own skin. In the game, a skin is necessarily created - the player’s character. You can create such a picture using a sheet of paper divided into pixels and colored pencils or felt-tip pens.
- Recycler. This is also a team competition. It will require 2 boxes with holes. The guys will throw various small garbage into them, being at some distance from the recycling bins. The team with the most trash in the box wins.
These are just some competition ideas. You can come up with other entertainment. It is important to reward the participants at the end of the entertainment program. Small themed souvenirs or sweets are suitable for this.
