Move
Children enter the hall, they are greeted by the magician Krex, who invites them to become participants in the entertainment program.
The magician wants to show the children tricks, but the tricks, for some reason unknown to the magician, do not work: “How to pierce a balloon without harming it?” [2] Materials.
Balloon, tape, needle.
Focus.
If you puncture the balloon, it will burst (this is what the magician does).
Place a piece of tape on both sides of the ball. Poke the ball through the tape. The ball doesn't burst. “Vinegar and soda inflate a balloon” [3] (inflate the balloon not with your mouth or with a pump) Materials
.
Balloon, bottle, vinegar, soda. Focus.
Pour 2 teaspoons of baking soda inside the balloon.
Pour half a glass of vinegar into the bottle. Place the balloon on the neck of the bottle and pour the soda from the balloon into the bottle. When vinegar and soda interact, carbon dioxide is released, which inflates the balloon. The magician forgets to pour soda into the ball. And finally, the magician invites the children to try a trick with matches, but cannot find them. An audio recording of the voice of the evil wizard Walter is heard in the hall. Walter: “Ha ha ha! The magician is a dropout! Have you forgotten all your tricks? It was I, the evil Walter, who bewitched you and hid your matches. If you want your gift back, you must find five matches. Read my letter first, there is a number written there, open the chest with this number, get the first match and the next task. But remember, chests can only be opened after completing the task. By collecting five matches and casting a spell, your gift will return to you. Good luck! Ha-ha-ha!” The magician asks the guys for help.
The guys with the magician approach the table, on which there are 10 chests and all the materials necessary for the tasks.
There is a letter in front of the children. The magician opens it and asks the guys to determine what is written in it. Task 1. “Watercolor paints + candle” Using a candle on a blank sheet of paper, write some number, for example 3. From the entire range of materials, children must choose watercolor paints and paint the surface of the sheet with them. Watercolor paints do not color the number written with a candle. Having determined that the number 3 is written in the letter, the children open the chest numbered “3”, receive the first match and a note with the next task. Task 2. “Get the Kinder Surprise egg from the bottom of the jug without putting your hand in the jug.” Inside the egg is a piece of paper with the number 4. From the entire range of materials, children must choose water, but there is not enough water to get the egg. You can use stones to raise the water level. Having opened the egg and read the number 4, the children open the chest numbered “4”, receive a second match and a note with the next task. Task 3. “Sounding candies” [2] In front of the children are bottles of children’s yoghurts with various fillings, on which numbers from “0” to “9” are pasted. The following fillers are used: water, bulk materials, beads, etc. Children need to determine which bottles have the same fillers. For example, bottles “0” and “1” contain water. From the numbers “0” and “1”, children must get the number “10”, open the chest numbered “10”, get the third match and a note with the next task. Physical education minute The phonogram of A. Pugacheva’s song “The Wizard is a Dropout” (music by A. Zatsepin, lyrics by L. Derbenev) sounds. To the music, children perform exercises to prevent spinal curvature.
Calculate the path of a star, And plant gardens, And tame a typhoon - Magic can do everything!
I. p. - lying on your back.
Alternately bend and straighten your legs at the knees and hip joints. I have a diploma, but the thing is that I am an omnipotent magician only on paper.
I. p. - lying on your back, legs bent at the knees.
Inhale and slowly raise your pelvis (“half-bridge”), while exhaling, lower to the starting position. Chorus: The teachers spent time with me for nothing.
The most skilled magician suffered with me for nothing. Yes Yes Yes! I. p. - lying on your stomach, chin on your hands.
Pull your arms back and raise your legs (“Fish”). I listened to the wise teachers inattentively.
Whatever they asked me, I did somehow. I.p. – standing, feet shoulder-width apart, hands on the belt. Tilts of the body to the left - to the right. Torso rotation left - right. Task 4. “Get a shell from the bottom of the sea.” There is a container of water in front of the children. At the bottom is a shell, with a metal object, for example a nail, attached to it. Children need to get a shell. The secret is that the magnet does not go into the neck of the container. But a magnet can attract studs through the walls of the container. The number “8” is written on the shell. The guys open the chest numbered “8”, receive the fourth match and a note with the next task. Task 5. “Identify the container with salt water.” In front of the children are 3 opaque containers with the numbers “5”, “6”, “7” with water, in one container there is salt water. You can't taste it. The guys should remember the property of salt water - it holds objects and use an egg or potato. The number of the container in which the item does not sink is the number we need. For example, "6". The guys open the chest number “6” and get the last match. Magician. Well, now we have collected 5 of my matches, it’s time to cast a spell. Children cast a spell:
The magician is dressed in a tailcoat, the torch will turn into a bouquet, the Fairy will jump out of there, it’s a trick or a miracle.
Magician. Guys, let's check if my abilities have returned to me. The guys sit down, and the Magician shows tricks that didn’t work at the beginning, but are now correct. Magician. Thanks guys, you helped me get my powers back. Now I can again delight everyone with my tricks. You can also show the following tricks: “Live matches” Materials.
A wide container with water, matches pre-treated with sunflower oil, a cotton swab, liquid soap.
Place matches on the surface of the water. They lie motionless on the surface. As soon as you dip a cotton swab soaked in liquid soap into the water, the matches scatter to the sides. “How you can push an egg into a bottle and pull it back out” [4] Materials. A medium-sized hard-boiled and shelled egg, a glass bottle with a fairly wide neck, paper, matches. Light the paper and quickly lower it into the bottle. After this, immediately place the egg on the neck of the bottle. In a second, the burning paper will go out, and the egg will incredibly end up in the bottle. But how can I get the egg back now? Tilt the bottle so that the egg lies with the sharp end towards the exit. Blow into the bottle. The egg will pop out. “Lord of the Balls” [5] Materials.
2 balloons (inflated with helium), a woolen rag (scarf), a piece of paper, thread.
A thread is cut and balls are tied to the ends. Both balls are rubbed with a woolen cloth. Take the thread by the middle so that the balls hang in the air at the same distance from the ceiling. The balls begin to run away from each other. When you rub the balloons with a woolen cloth, they begin to become electrified and repel each other. And who can do it so that, without touching the balls, they will be brought together? The most active spectators begin to blow on balloons or otherwise create air currents. But everything is in vain. Take a piece of paper and place it between the balls. And, lo and behold, the balls come closer together. The secret of the trick:
The fact is that objects consisting of the same material have the same charge.
The piece of paper is made of a different material than the balls and is not electrified. That is why it attracts balloons to itself. “Steel cloth” [5] Materials.
Paper napkins, glass of water.
Invite the children to argue that they cannot tear a paper napkin, but you can. Naturally, everyone is sure that tearing a paper napkin couldn’t be easier. Roll the napkin into a tight tube. The children try to tear it apart and cannot. Pour water into the middle of a rolled-up napkin. And tear it apart without much effort. Literature used: 1. Russian encyclopedia “Tradition”. 2.
