But which one is up to you to decide, but we are at the same time. Which means 11 great ideas on the topic “February 23 in the office” in our current review. Let's go.

Idea No. 1. It all starts with... details.

So, workers in the early morning of February 23 should definitely not pretend that a holiday is ahead and calmly work until the corporate hour N. After all, whatever one may say, attention is pleasant for everyone, and even men can appreciate it. Therefore, it is better for colleagues to express themselves clearly and openly. Regardless of the size of the office, it - the office - can be easily and cheerfully transformed by turning on imagination, patience, and work. For example, place a miniature military-style flag on each character’s table with a funny wish for the day.

Idea No. 2. Feed!

Do-it-yourself gifts for colleagues on February 23rd - why not a surprise? Of course, you can sculpt airplanes from plasticine, but it’s better to cook first. Sweet, salty, sour and spicy surprises will definitely please everyone without exception and will inspire you to have a productive day. If you really think that you can’t come up with anything more banal, no question - surprise with an interesting solution to standard “pies”. Let there be “brutal” camping kits consisting of boiled sausage, a piece of black bread and whatever else you can think of.

Idea No. 3. What is there... Style doesn't hurt.

It is, admittedly, very difficult to maintain the holiday spirit. Especially in the workplace when things are busy. We don’t encourage you to put on a smile if you don’t want to, but to maintain the general style - yes! The women's coalition can easily come up with a theme for the holiday, not necessarily tied to the military, and choose appropriate outfits. It could be “pirate February 23rd”, “Russian style”, “cowboy” or any other! Choose with confidence.

Idea No. 4. Contests, goodbye!

Admit it, these endless competitions have already sunk into oblivion. Tired of it. Bored. But the pressing question is: what would we do without them? Very simple. Without them! Play mafia with your whole friendly team, take out the “Manager” donated to strengthen the corporate spirit, and compete in a race. There are many options, the main thing is participation.

Idea No. 5. Creative.

So, it’s already February 23, but how to congratulate your colleagues - there are no options? Panic aside. There is a great way to surprise and at the same time make you laugh strong half. All you need is a printer, internet and a graphics program. And then you look for any subject-themed photograph on the Internet, carefully search office photos colleagues from a corporate party and, through simple manipulations, transfer the men’s faces to the selected collage. Print and hang in your office.

Idea No. 6. Gift!

In fact, whatever you have in mind will be pleasant. But it will be no less pleasant for your fellow defenders to receive a stylish gift. It’s better, of course, if you choose an individual surprise for everyone and thereby emphasize how special your colleague is. It could be a butterfly self made, a movie invitation, a stylish money clip and much, much more.

Idea No. 7. Game to lose!

There is no secret that February 23 is Defender's Day! This means that it’s time for male colleagues to prove their ability to protect and save their best female colleagues! Without thinking twice, go to the paintball site, remembering to book it first. It will definitely be fun!

Idea No. 9. Yes, yes, a photo shoot!

Men, fortunately, don’t particularly like to be photographed, and no matter how hard you try, you won’t find a portfolio. A military style photo shoot will be the perfect exception and will allow your colleagues to transform themselves and feel like true heroes! Don’t forget to think in advance about where to get costumes (for example, you can rent them), and during the photo shoot, organize a small buffet for a better mood.

Idea No. 10. With your own hands? Easily!

Typically, master classes are attended by women. But! Rest assured, your male colleagues will be no less interested in learning something new. This could be a joint master class in the office on mixing cocktails or, for example, dancing! In any case, such a pastime will unite and strengthen the team spirit of your team.

Idea No. 11. Classic.

Just because your team doesn't like surprises doesn't mean you shouldn't try. But overdoing it is also not an option! Therefore, you can simply arrange a soulful evening in your favorite cafe or restaurant and celebrate February 23 in the cozy company of your favorite colleagues over a pleasant conversation.

In general, it so happened that women, as a rule, do not do expensive gifts for men. It is believed that it is the lot of the stronger sex to spend a lot of money on gifts. That’s why our men usually don’t expect anything grandiose. But the point is not the price of the gift, but the so that he is pleasant to the person.

How to celebrate February 23

The room in which the celebration will be celebrated can be decorated, for example, with ribbons, balloons and posters with congratulatory inscriptions. Children also enjoy participating in the creation of a festive interior, drawing pictures on a military theme or making appliqués. Because February 23 is Defender of the Fatherland Day, can be issued party room in khaki or camouflage. This is, of course, an option for a creative family.

You can search the Internet for funny ditties and poems for February 23 to perform them at home during the holiday. If children are growing up in the family, folklore with too frivolous content should be avoided. It’s better to learn a song dedicated to dad or grandfather with your child - everyone will be pleased and joyful.

On this day, any creativity is welcomed - singing, reciting poetry, always on a military theme, since it is Defender of the Motherland Day. Any dishes prepared simply, “soldier-style” can be on the table. If the family is large, then some kind of competition or any competition that is acceptable on an apartment scale will be a very good way to spend time. All family members must participate in the event.

You can also arrange military style party : the same khaki and camouflage design, military paraphernalia, aluminum “soldier’s” dishes, porridge with stew for hot dishes and military competitions. For example, competition "Best Nurse" : two pairs participate. One in a pair is the “wounded”, and the second is the “orderly”. Give the orderlies a roll of bandage or toilet paper. The orderly’s task is to “bandage” the wounded man as quickly as possible, using up all the bandage or all the paper.

Can be carried out quick army dress-up competition . Remember, probably, that a real soldier must have time to get dressed before the match burns out. You will need loose clothing (it will be worn over your own clothes) - a shirt, pants, a hat, preferably something in a military style. One “but”: clothes must be worn inside out. And be sure to fasten it completely. Who's faster?

Any games will do, even for children. If only it was fun. Can be carried out game "minefield" . Scatter, for example, tennis balls on the floor in a chaotic manner. The participant is blindfolded and sent on his way across the room. If you step on a mine, it means you lost. Or you can count the number of mines you come across - whoever has the fewest wins. You can joke about the last participant: when his eyes are already blindfolded, you need to quickly remove all the “mines” - it will be very funny to watch how the “soldier” walks along a safe field, afraid of running into a mine that is not there.

In families where there are front-line soldiers, the elders’ memories of the military actions that took place in the 40s and the difficult post-war times of the past era will be very appropriate. You can get a family one and look through it, remembering all those who gave their lives on the battlefield for the well-being of their descendants.
