Introduction:
How many times do you say "thank you" per day on average?
Happy "thank you" day! It is very easy to receive "merci" in return.
For people like us, a holiday of polite manners was invented -
Gratitude will not stumble over the language barrier.
Without exaggeration, January 11th can be called one of the most "polite" dates of the year - today is International Thank You Day. The holiday was initiated by UNESCO and the United Nations. The purpose of the event is to remind the inhabitants of the planet of the high value of politeness, good manners and the ability to thank others for good deeds.
We all are well aware of the importance of good manners, their necessity in everyday life, but most of the thanks we express, as if by chance, without thinking about their meaning. However, words of gratitude have magical properties - with their help people give joy to each other, express attention and convey positive emotions - something without which our life would become meager and gloomy.
It is believed that the Russian word "thank you" was born in the 16th century from the often pronounced phrase "God save." It is interesting that the roots of the English analogue - Thank you - also go much deeper than simple gratitude. This suggests that both the Russian “thank you” and “thank you”, pronounced in almost all languages of the world, have been and are extremely important for the culture of any people. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
". Everyone knows from childhood that "thank you" is the word "magic". Together with the words "please", "give" and "mother" we pronounce it first and continue to pronounce it throughout our lives. The word "thank you" is a well-established abbreviation for the phrase "God save" - this phrase in Russia expressed gratitude. For the first time the word "thank you" was recorded in 1586, in a phrase book published in Paris. We are well aware of the importance of good manners, their necessity in everyday life, but most of the thanks we express, as if casually, without thinking about their meaning. Meanwhile, the words of gratitude "thank you" and even "please" have magical properties, but they cannot be pronounced when a person is irritated. Some may say, "Well, thank you!" and so on, but no! This is not allowed, this is not an etiquette rule!
Psychologists are sure that words of gratitude are “verbal strokes” that can soothe and warm with their warmth. The main thing is that the words of gratitude are pronounced from the heart! It is no coincidence that for a long time there was a very wise belief among the people - do not say words of gratitude in a state of irritation.
The word "thank you", according to psychologists, is really magical. Hearing it, a person experiences emotions similar to those that arise in children when they are affectionately stroked on the head. Having received verbal gratitude, a person subconsciously tunes in to positive.
Can you imagine how much positive, for example, the waiters or sellers have? After all, they hear "thank you" a hundred times a day. Fortunately, in our country, people have become a little more polite and have learned to say thank you not only for disinterested help, but also for a paid service. However, additional lessons in politeness never hurt anyone. Therefore, January 11 must be celebrated "World Thank You Day" or International Thank You Day.
New York is considered the most polite of the major cities in the world - “thank you” is most often said here. Moscow took 30th place in the courtesy rating among 42 "big" cities. And it is very rare to hear a word of gratitude in the largest populated city of India - Mumbai.
A grateful person is attentive and open to people, he notices any service done for him. He is ready to repay with the same coin of kindness and responsiveness that he received from others.
How is it that one person is grateful and another is not? Why does it depend? From mind, heart, upbringing?
Gratitude can be expressed with a look, a smile and a gesture, which is called “gratitude without words”. A gift, which is so important during the holidays, also sometimes serves as a worthy way to thank. But most often we say this simple word with such great meaning - "thank you."
SITUATIONS.
UCH: A polite person is always attentive to people, he tries not to cause them trouble, not to offend others by word or deed. Sometimes the guys behave rudely, it seems to them that in these cases they act as independent,
UCH: Now let's look at a few situations.
First situation.
Let's talk about what good and bad manners are.
Let Tanya be a mother, and Roma and Ira be her children. You are going to visit. "Mom" must explain to "children" how to and how not to behave at a party.
Second situation.
Mom told me to come home at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. But you don't have a watch. You will have to turn to one of the elders. How will you do it?
Third situation.
Vasya and Kolya are on the tram. At the bus stop, an old woman enters. How will you act?
fourth situation.
Now listen to the question-task and say what mistake Kostya made.
“Kostya comes to school in the morning. A teacher is standing at the door of his class. Kostya, seeing her, was delighted, ran up to her and began to tell what an interesting book he read yesterday.” (Answers)
. THE GAME.
Now let's play a game. I will read the story, and you, when necessary, insert polite words into my story (in chorus).
“Once Vova Kryuchkov rode a bus. On the bus, he sat by the window and looked at the streets with pleasure. Suddenly a woman with a child entered the bus. Vova stood up and told her: “Get in ... (please in unison). The woman was very polite, thanked Vova: ... (thank you). Suddenly, the bus suddenly stopped. Vova almost fell and pushed the man hard. The man wanted to get angry, but Vova quickly said: ..... (please excuse me).
Well, you know the polite words. Feel free to use them more often.
Do you know how the word "Thank you" sounds in different languages of the world?
Arabic: Shoukran (shukran)
English: Thank you (senk yu)
Hawaiian: Mahalo (mahalo)
Greek: Evkaristo (efcharisto)
Mongolian: Vayarla (vayala)
Danish: Tak (tsak)
Icelandic: Takk (taak)
Italian: Grazie (grace)
Spanish: Gracias (gracias)
Latvian: Paldies
Lithuanian: Kob chie (kob chi)
German: Danke schon
Romanian: Multimesk (maltimesk)
Tatar: Rekhmet (rekhmet)
French: Merci beaucoups
The game "Tell me a word" (conducted by the teacher).
And now we will play, find out from you, do you know "Magic Words"?
Even an ice block will melt from a warm word ... (Thank you)
Even the stump will turn green when it hears ... (Good afternoon)
If we can’t eat anymore, we’ll tell mom .... (Thanks)
A polite and developed boy speaks when meeting ... (Hello)
When we are scolded for pranks, we say ... (Excuse me, please)
And in France and Denmark they say goodbye ... (Goodbye)
What is kindness? (presentation).
Not only words should be good with us, but also deeds, so that neither we, nor our parents, nor friends have to blush for them.
Today thank everyone who is close to you, everyone you love and appreciate. And remember: “thank you” is a firefly word, so warm the people close to you today! Let on this day the word "thank you" be not just a manifestation of good manners and good breeding, but a manifestation of sincere gratitude (I give blessings), uttered with kindness, love and attention to a person. And the world will become a little kinder, brighter, happier!!!
January 11 is the day on which it is customary to be polite and remember good manners more often. "Why?" - you ask. The fact is that on this day one of the international holidays is celebrated, which is called World Thank You Day
Everyone knows from childhood that "thank you" is the word "magic". And what is the magic of this word?
Together with the words “please”, “give” and “mom”, we pronounce it first and continue to pronounce it throughout our lives. And, if, for example, the English analogue - "thank you" - is just a "naked" gratitude, then the Russian "thank you" is much deeper. The word "thank you" is a well-established abbreviation for the phrase "God save." This phrase in Russia expressed gratitude.
ALEXANDER BALYBERDIN, PRIEST: “Thank you is a wonderful word, because with this word we express our gratitude to the person who did good to us. This word can be approved, consoled. If you think about the meaning of the word, Orthodox people most often say not “thank you,” but “God save you,” “God save you,” thank you, that is, thank you.”
Interestingly, the Old Believers do not use the word "thank you", they avoid it in their speech, because they believe that this word was born from the phrase "save Bai". "Bai" is the name of one of the pagan gods.
VERA LYSKOVA, PSYCHOLOGIST: “Any word spoken to a person does work in his body for up to 30 days. If you sincerely thank, then it is kept in his mind for a month. And this provides him with a good mood, good luck, peace of mind in life.
World Thank You Day holiday history
The holiday was initiated by UNESCO and the United Nations. The purpose of the event is to remind the inhabitants of the planet of the high value of politeness, good manners and the ability to thank others for good deeds.
For the first time the word "thank you" was recorded in 1586, in a phrase book published in Paris.
Around the same time, our Russian analogue of the way of expressing gratitude in a new way appeared, originating from the Proto-Slavic language. Archpriest Avvakum tried to introduce him into philistine speech, instead of the usual "thank you" using "God save". But this step did not manage to supplant the old form of politeness in the blink of an eye: three centuries passed before the word “thank you” took root in modern society, becoming one of the rules of etiquette.
It is interesting that the roots of the English analogue - Thank you - also go much deeper than simple gratitude. This suggests that both the Russian “thank you” and “thank you”, pronounced in almost all languages of the world, have been and are extremely important for the culture of any people. Therefore, on January 11, it is necessary to celebrate "World Thank You Day" or "International Thank You Day"
New York is considered the most polite of the major cities in the world - “thank you” is most often said here. Moscow took 30th place in the courtesy rating among 42 "big" cities. And it is very rare to hear a word of gratitude in the most populated city of India - Mumbai.
Today thank everyone who is close to you, everyone you love and appreciate. And remember: “thank you” is a firefly word, so warm your loved ones today!

Congratulations on Thanks Day in prose
World Thank You Day encourages everyone to pay attention to how seemingly clichés, words of gratitude and courtesy can cheer up, bring a smile, dispel a gloomy state. Psychologists are sure that kind words create precisely all positive “strokes”, returning a person to a comfortable state and warmth, but only if the words were spoken sincerely. Let's thank our loved ones for being with us. Thank God for giving us this wonderful life.
Today I want to thank you! You know, you can say it at least a thousand times… For the way you look and your heart skip a beat, for the way you don’t leave alone when it’s not easy, for the way you keep company in any adventure! And today is World Thank You Day. Happy holiday to you, from the bottom of my heart! And I want to wish you the fulfillment of desires and the ability to perform only those actions that are in your soul and that will lead you to happiness!

Thank you for your help, your endless faith in me and in all my undertakings, thank you for your patience and support, in those very difficult moments when I literally lacked air from emotions, but with you we were able to overcome everything.

How to celebrate World Thank You Day?
World Day "Thank You" in a children's institution
For children on this day, it is imperative to arrange an event, the purpose of which is to cultivate politeness. For kids who are just learning to read, you can make the game "Collect THANK YOU". In advance, in the room where the event will take place, hide a lot of cards with letters that make up the word “thank you”. At the command of the host, the guys begin to search for letters. You need to collect only different letters, so that in the end there are 7 cards from which you can add the word "THANK YOU". The one who collects the word first wins.
Etymological problem. Divide the kids into two groups and ask them to prepare a detailed answer to the question about the origin of Russian polite words. Let one group think about the word "thank you", the other - about "thank you". (thank you - God save me, thank you - I give good, good)
Quest. For older children on this day, you can arrange a quest game. A group (or two groups) of children are given envelopes with a route (stops are indicated in it) and boxes (baskets, packages, etc.), in which all the "thank you" found will need to be added. You should look for "thank you" at the stops indicated in the route. The team that reaches the finish line first wins. The game is played in the school building after school or on the street.
What are the "riddles"? For example, one of the stops is some room in which there is no one. The guys carefully look around and understand that they need to find something. As a result, somewhere on the windowsill behind the curtain they find a sign with the inscription "Merci" and put it in their basket, after which they go on.
At one of the stops, for example, a teacher or a high school student with an empty glass in his hands may be waiting for them. He does not say anything, but the children must think that they need to fill the glass with water, that is, to help the person. When this is done, he will give the guys, for example, a badge with the word "thank you".
At another stop, the student asks the guys to help him solve the problem (here it is advisable to prepare an entertaining riddle problem). When the guys solve it, the student will thank them and hand them, for example, a ribbon on which the word “thank you” is painted with paint.
So that the quest does not last very long, but at the same time does not end too quickly, you need to come up with about 10 riddles, that is, include 10 stops in the route.
Tasks can be not only search-intellectual (collect puzzles, solve riddles, etc.), but also sports. For example: stop - gym, you need to help carry the kids across the stream, that is, take one baby on your back and walk along the log. When all the little ones are on the shore, one of them will give the team of players a toy with a postcard tied to it with the inscription "Thank you!" - the basket of players will be replenished.
At the end of the route, the organizers check whether all the hidden "thanks" are collected in a basket and award the prize to the winning team. The second team, which will come to the finish line later, must also be awarded. After that, you can invite the guys to a tea party and a disco.
You can arrange a game "Thank you" on the globe. The host pronounces the word "thank you" in any foreign language, and the children must name the country where they say so, or the language. The game can be made more interesting if you add visibility. These can be pictures, clips from films shown without sound, or silent scenes played out by the guys.
For example, a picture showing a chef in a hat serving pizza to a woman might imply the word "Grazie" ("Grace").
In a silent scene in which a boy in a musketeer's hat picks up a handkerchief dropped by a girl and gives it to her, the word "Merci" ("Merci") is encrypted, because it takes place in France.
Children can come up with plots for scenes on their own. It is only necessary a few days before the event to break them into groups of 2-3 people and explain the task. Since the variant of the game with visibility requires linguistic erudition, this entertainment is only worth doing with high school students.
World Thank You Day for Adults
World Thank You Day - why not a fun party for young people? You can arrange a standard party a la feast and disco, but it is better to organize a themed party.
Since this is a day of politeness and good manners, such concepts as “intellectuals”, “culture”, “correctness”, etc. can be taken as the basis of the party. Party themes may also be appropriate, such as "Intelligent Party" or something like "Culture-multur-party". Or maybe you like the idea of "The Right Party" or "Pie Party" (from "Pie Girl").
Here you can also play with the festive dress code: let all the participants look like a caricature of an intellectual of the 70s-80s era: a suit, suspenders, a bow tie, a hat, a cane, a briefcase, glasses, etc. Girls can transform into a kind of "sexy blue stockings" with slicked hair and gray dresses (by the way, the most fashionable color of dresses in 2010), glasses and purses.
If a "Right Party" is arranged, then the style of clothing is similar, but reminiscent not so much of the intelligentsia, but of the tribe of modern nerds.
With a table for a banquet, you can also get creative by placing books under the plates instead of coasters, and placing a bronze bust of some famous poet in the center of the table.
What kind of entertainment can be arranged at a thank you party?
"Secret gallantry". At the beginning of the party, each participant is invited to draw lots to find out who will be his "protégé" today. Accordingly, in advance you need to prepare pieces of paper with the names of everyone who will be at the party.
Having learned the name of your "protégé", you need to keep this information secret. Task: during the evening, try to do good deeds aimed at your protégé (give something, move a chair, help with something, etc.). Thus, each participant in the party will have his own protégé, but no one will know his patron.
After a couple of hours, you can "reveal the cards": ask everyone if he knows who his patron is. If the patrons are unraveled, it means that they did their job well and were really polite, courteous and responsive to their protégés. Each exposed patron can be given a small prize.
Intellectuals and the right "nerds" love intellectual board games. You can make such a game yourself, but it will be not so much intellectual as fun.
Board game "You can't put a thank you in your pocket"
Making a game.
On any sheet of cardboard or plywood, draw 30 cells of equal size. You will need two dice and chips - one for each participant. In the cells, randomly “scatter” (write with a marker) the letters that make up the word “thank you”, with each letter twice. In total, 14 cells will be occupied by letters, and in the remaining 16 you can enter certain tasks, for example:
Skip a move
Fulfill the command's wish
Do a good deed to the neighbor on the right
Kiss the neighbor on the left
Compliment the neighbor on the right
Say the word "thank you" in a foreign language
Say 5 polite words with 5 candies in your mouth
Name 5 bad words and tap your lips.
Tasks depend only on your imagination and the level of emancipation of the company. If desired, this game can be turned into at least a game of "undressing".
In addition to the playing field, you need to prepare jokers. Jokers can be any cards - for example, paper squares with the word "thank you" or ordinary playing cards. In addition, you will need letters from the word “thank you” - a set of seven letters that make up the word “thank you” for each player (that is, if there are seven players, then 7 sets of letters are needed - a total of 49). Letters can be cut out of newspapers and magazines and folded into a box.
Game progress.
Players take turns rolling the dice and moving their chips to a number of squares equal to the number rolled on the dice. If a player gets on a cell with a letter, then he takes the same letter from the box and gets an extra move. If he already has this letter, then he does not take the second (except for the letter c), but receives an additional move.
If it hits a cell not with a letter, but with a task, then it completes it. If you do not want to complete the task, you can pay off with a joker (at the beginning of the game, everyone receives 3 jokers). Having reached the last cell, continue with the first. The game goes on until one of the participants collects all the letters from the word "thank you". He becomes the winner. It will take no more than an hour to make game "prichindals", and the game can drag on for several hours, because friends will want to play more, especially if the tasks in the game are interesting and spicy.
International Thank You Day in the Office
Make small cards in a graphics editor (let's call them "thank you") with a smiling emoticon and the inscription "Thank you". Each card should also have the name of one of the employees. Have 5-10 name cards for everyone who works in your office. Print the cards, cut and laminate if possible. On the morning of January 11, each employee will receive a set of cards with their name. Accompany the distribution of the kits with instructions: during the day, you need to give one of your personal “thank you” along with verbal gratitude. That is, if, for example, the system administrator Kostya helped the economist Anya with the installation of the program, then she, having thanked him, handed over a card with her name. Sysadmin Kostya asked the head. Iru's office to give him a set of pens, thanked him and handed her a card with his name on it.
Your cards should be handed out as a token of gratitude, and those received from others should be kept. At the end of the day, the remaining own and received other people's cards are counted. Those who run out of cards with their names are declared the most polite (thanks were most often said).
Well, those who have the largest number of other people's cards receive the title of "The Kindest" (necessary, irreplaceable, trouble-free, sympathetic, Samaritan, etc.). It is desirable, of course, to give prizes to distinguished employees. In such a simple way, you can celebrate a world holiday, and entertain employees a little, and remind them of the need for good manners. In addition, this event is another tool for team building.
January 11 - World Thank You Day- the day of the most polite word in any language - the word "thank you". By the way, September 21st is World Gratitude Day.
Home -> Holiday Calendar -> Holidays in January -> World Thank You Day
Today is January 11, a holiday: World Thank You Day.
January 11 is the most "polite" date of the year. This day marks World Thank You Day (not to be confused with the American Thanksgiving Day, which is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Sunday of November).
Regardless of citizenship, nationality and religious beliefs, people thank each other with the magic word "thank you". Everyone knows from childhood that "thank you" is the word "magic". Together with the words “please”, “give” and “mom”, we pronounce it first and continue to pronounce it throughout our lives.
The word "thank you" is a well-established abbreviation for the phrase "God save" - this phrase in Russia expressed gratitude. For the first time the word "thank you" was recorded in 1586, in a phrase book published in Paris.
We are well aware of the importance of good manners, their necessity in everyday life, but most of the thanks we express, as if casually, without thinking about their meaning. Meanwhile, the words of gratitude “thank you” and even “please” have magical properties, but they cannot be pronounced when a person is irritated. Some may say, "Well, thank you!" and so on, but no! This is not allowed, this is not an etiquette rule!
Psychologists believe that words of gratitude are signs of attention, they are verbal "strokes" and are able to warm with their warmth. Every day we say “thank you” to each other, so it is very important to remember that true gratitude is only that which comes only from a pure heart!
Today thank everyone who is close to you, everyone you love and appreciate. Let on this day the word "thank you" be not just a manifestation of good manners and good breeding, but a manifestation of sincere gratitude (I give blessings), uttered with kindness, love and attention to a person. And the world will become a little kinder, brighter, happier!!!
in the section Holidays and folk signs:
can be called without exaggeration one of the most "polite" dates of the year - today is celebrated
International Day of "thank you"
(International Thank You Day).
We all are well aware of the importance of good manners, their necessity in everyday life, but most of the thanks we express, as if by chance, without thinking about their meaning. However, words of gratitude have magical properties - with their help people give joy to each other, express attention and convey positive emotions - something without which our life would become meager and gloomy.
It is not for nothing that in many tourist guides and instructions to tourists it is often indicated that the word "thank you", even with an accent in the language of the host country, increases speed, quality of service and helps to establish a calm and pleasant vacation.
It is believed that the Russian word "thank you" was born in the 16th century from the often pronounced phrase "God save."
It is interesting that the roots of the English analogue - Thank you - also go much deeper than simple gratitude. This suggests that both the Russian “thank you” and “thank you”, pronounced in almost all languages of the world, have been and are extremely important for the culture of any people.
It is known that the Old Believers do not use the word "thank you", they avoid it in their speech, because they believe that this word was born from the phrase "save Bai". Bai is the name of one of the pagan gods.
Psychologists are sure that words of gratitude are “verbal strokes” that can soothe and warm with their warmth. The main thing is that the words of gratitude are pronounced from the heart!
It is no coincidence that for a long time there was a very wise belief among the people - do not say words of gratitude in a state of irritation.

Dear students, hello! Dear mothers and fathers, I am glad to see you in the "Projects" section.
On a winter day on January 11, we will celebrate a polite date - “World Thank You Day”. What kind of holiday is this? On this day, everyone sincerely thanks each other for good deeds, replenishing their piggy bank of good manners, giving others a little of their attention, creating a joyful mood for themselves and others.
Not familiar with this date yet? Then read soon and share with your friends to join the ranks of the well-mannered and grateful, and take part in the international “thank you” action.
Lesson plan:
What is the word "thank you"?
The history of the holiday goes back hundreds of years. Many centuries ago, in Russian, gratitude was expressed only with the verbs “thank you” and “thank you”. Then paganism prevailed. When Christianity appeared in Russia, these verbs gradually began to go out of use.
Ancestors more often began to say “God save!” as an expression of gratitude. In such words, believing Christians put their souls and from the bottom of their hearts wished for salvation, turning to the saints. Therefore, words of gratitude were uttered only with good intentions. It was impossible to say "God save!" in a state of irritation.
By the 16th century, this phrase was reduced to the “thank you” familiar to us today. After this word appeared in the phrasebook of Paris in 1586, it was firmly entrenched in the language of communication between people. And at the moment, psychologists are sure that this word is truly magical, carrying a positive attitude.
It is interesting! On the day of "thank you" in large cities around the world are crowded events - festivals and fairs, concerts and competitions. So, for example, there is such a thanksgiving relay race - people line up in a long line and pass a plush toy - a heart along the chain, while saying "thank you for ...".
How to celebrate Thank You Day?
No one can reliably say who exactly decided to celebrate the world holiday "thank you". Many tend to believe that the initiative came from international organizations - the UN and UNESCO.
But some believe that state bodies have nothing to do with the date of the celebration. And ordinary people came up with it - employees of a large company for the production of greeting cards, who wished to remind the inhabitants of the planet that we have such a wonderful word, and one day everyone can say “thank you” loudly and unanimously.
It is interesting! According to statistics, Russians say “thank you” more often than Europeans. But not because we do it meaningfully, but simply because we say the word “thank you” automatically, without putting our soul into it. But the most grateful are those living in New York. Moscow, alas, is only in 30th place among 42 large polite cities.
Be that as it may, there are more positive holidays in the world! How can it be celebrated? Of course, in the circle of their relatives and friends.
You still have time to prepare and, after coming out of vacation, offer to thank each other on January 11th. Here is a great idea for you to create a good mood.
Thank you for friends
Make small cards for children - classmates - "thank you" with emoticons and an inscription. Each card must be signed with the names of everyone in the class. Each student should have several of these "thanks". On the international day of "thank you" you need to distribute such kits that each of your classmates will give as a token of gratitude for something to others.
For example, Vanya will receive a “thank you” from Masha for the donated pen, and Tanya from Kolya for help in mathematics. As a result, everyone will give out “thank you” with their own name and receive with strangers. As a result, the one who has the most cards will become the kindest, and the one who does not have any of his own will become the most polite.
Today, on the world day "thank you",
I thank all people for everything!
For joy, for the radiance of smiles
I say "thank you" to you too.
Here is such a holiday of courtesy for all the inhabitants of the planet. Let's all celebrate it together to make the world a better place. But remember that you need to say kind words not only on holidays!
With wishes to be always educated and cultured!

One of the most polite days of the year falls on January 11, when the whole world celebrates the holiday of the magic word. "Thanks". The holiday was initiated by UNESCO and the United Nations. The purpose of the event is to remind the inhabitants of the planet of the high value of politeness, good manners and the ability to thank others for good deeds.
The word "thank you" , according to psychologists, is really magical. Hearing it, a person experiences emotions similar to those that arise in children when they are affectionately stroked on the head. Having received verbal gratitude, a person subconsciously tunes in to positive.
Can you imagine how much positive, for example, the waiters or sellers have? After all, they hear "thank you" a hundred times a day. Fortunately, in our country, people have become a little more polite and have learned to say thank you not only for disinterested help, but also for a paid service. However, additional lessons in politeness never hurt anyone. Therefore, January 11 must be celebrated "World Thank You Day" or International Thank You Day .
How to celebrate World Thank You Day?
In the office
Make small cards in a graphics editor (let's call them "thank you") with a smiling emoticon and the inscription "Thank you". Each card should also have the name of one of the employees. Have 5-10 name cards for everyone who works in your office.
Print the cards, cut and laminate if possible. On the morning of January 11, each employee will receive a set of cards with their name. Accompany the distribution of the kits with instructions: during the day, you need to give one of your personal “thank you” along with verbal gratitude. That is, if, for example, the system administrator Kostya helped the economist Anya with the installation of the program, then she, having thanked him, handed over a card with her name. Sysadmin Kostya asked the head. Iru's office to give him a set of pens, thanked him and handed her a card with his name on it.
Your cards should be handed out as a token of gratitude, and those received from others should be kept. At the end of the day, the remaining own and received other people's cards are counted. Those who run out of cards with their names are declared the most polite (thanks were most often said).
Well, those who have the largest number of other people's cards receive the title of "The Kindest" (necessary, irreplaceable, trouble-free, sympathetic, Samaritan, etc.). It is desirable, of course, to give prizes to distinguished employees. In such a simple way, you can celebrate a world holiday, and entertain employees a little, and remind them of the need for good manners. In addition, this event is another tool for team building.
In a children's institution
For children on this day, it is imperative to arrange an event, the purpose of which is to cultivate politeness. For kids who are just learning to read, you can do game "Collect thanks" . In advance, in the room where the event will take place, hide a lot of cards with letters that make up the word “thank you”. At the command of the host, the guys begin to search for letters. You need to collect only different letters, so that in the end there are 7 cards from which you can add the word "THANK YOU". The one who collects the word first wins.
Etymological problem. Divide the kids into two groups and ask them to prepare a detailed answer to the question about the origin of Russian polite words. Let one group think about the word "thank you", the other - about "thank you". (thank you - God save me, thank you - I give good, good)
Quest. For older guys on this day you can make a quest game. A group (or two groups) of children are given envelopes with a route (stops are indicated in it) and boxes (baskets, packages, etc.), in which all the "thank you" found will need to be added. You should look for "thank you" at the stops indicated in the route. The team that reaches the finish line first wins. The game is played in the school building after school or on the street.
What are the "riddles"? For example, one of the stops is some room in which there is no one. The guys carefully look around and understand that they need to find something. As a result, somewhere on the windowsill behind the curtain they find a sign with the inscription "Merci" and put it in their basket, after which they go on.
At one of the stops they can be expected, for example, by a teacher or a high school student with an empty glass in his hands. He does not say anything, but the children must think that they need to fill the glass with water, that is, to help the person. When this is done, he will give the guys, for example, a badge with the word "thank you".
At another stop the student asks the guys to help him solve the problem (here it is advisable to prepare an entertaining riddle problem). When the guys solve it, the student will thank them and hand them, for example, a ribbon on which the word “thank you” is painted with paint.
So that the quest does not last very long, but at the same time does not end too quickly, you need to come up with about 10 riddles, that is, include 10 stops in the route.
Tasks can be not only search-intellectual (collect puzzles, solve riddles, etc.), but also sports. For example: stop - gym, you need to help carry the kids across the stream, that is, take one baby on your back and walk along the log. When all the little ones are on the shore, one of them will give the team of players a toy with a postcard tied to it with the inscription "Thank you!" - the basket of players will be replenished.
At the end of the route, the organizers check whether all the hidden "thanks" are collected in a basket and award the prize to the winning team. The second team, which will come to the finish line later, must also be awarded. After that, you can invite the guys to a tea party and a disco.
Can arrange game "Thank you" on the globe"
. The host pronounces the word "thank you" in any foreign language, and the children must name the country where they say so, or the language. The game can be made more interesting if you add visibility. These can be pictures, clips from films shown without sound, or silent scenes played out by the guys.
For example, a picture showing a chef in a hat serving pizza to a woman might imply the word "Grazie" ("Grace").
In a silent scene in which a boy in a musketeer's hat picks up a handkerchief dropped by a girl and gives it to her, the word "Merci" ("Merci") is encrypted, because it takes place in France.
Children can come up with plots for scenes on their own. It is only necessary a few days before the event to break them into groups of 2-3 people and explain the task. Since the variant of the game with visibility requires linguistic erudition, this entertainment is only worth doing with high school students.
For adults
World Thank You Day - why not have a fun youth party? You can arrange a standard party a la feast and disco, but it is better to organize a themed party.
Since this is a day of courtesy and good manners, the party can be based on concepts such as "intelligentsia", "culture", "correctness" etc. Party themes can also be relevant: for example, "Smart Party" or something like "Culture-multur-party" . Or maybe you like the idea of "The Right Party" or "Pie Party" (from "pay-girl").
Here and with holiday dress code you can play: let all the participants look like a caricature of an intellectual of the 70s-80s era: a suit, suspenders, a bow tie, a hat, a cane, a briefcase, glasses, etc. Girls can transform into a kind of "sexy blue stockings" with slicked hair and gray dresses (by the way, the most fashionable color of dresses in 2010), glasses and purses.
If a "Right Party" is arranged, then the style of clothing is similar, but reminiscent not so much of the intelligentsia, but of the tribe of modern nerds.
With a table for a banquet, you can also get creative by placing books under the plates instead of coasters, and placing a bronze bust of some famous poet in the center of the table.
Here it is - the "Right" party! :)
What kind of entertainment can be arranged at a thank you party?
"Secret gallantry". At the beginning of the party, each participant is invited to draw lots to find out who will be his "protégé" today. Accordingly, in advance you need to prepare pieces of paper with the names of everyone who will be at the party.
Having learned the name of your "protégé", you need to keep this information secret. Task: during the evening, try to do good deeds aimed at your protégé (give something, move a chair, help with something, etc.). Thus, each participant in the party will have his own protégé, but no one will know his patron.
After a couple of hours, you can "reveal the cards": ask everyone if he knows who his patron is. If the patrons are unraveled, it means that they did their job well and were really polite, courteous and responsive to their protégés. Each exposed patron can be given a small prize.
Board game "You can't put a thank you in your pocket" . Intelligents and proper nerds love intellectual board games. You can make such a game yourself, but it will be not so much intellectual as fun.
Making a game. On any sheet of cardboard or plywood, draw 30 cells of equal size. You will need two dice and chips - one for each participant. In the cells, randomly “scatter” (write with a marker) the letters that make up the word “thank you”, with each letter twice. In total, 14 cells will be occupied by letters, and in the remaining 16 you can enter certain tasks, for example:
- Skip a move
- Fulfill the command's wish
- Do a good deed to the neighbor on the right
- Kiss the neighbor on the left
- Compliment the neighbor on the right
- Say the word "thank you" in a foreign language
- Say 5 polite words with 5 candies in your mouth
- Name 5 bad words and tap your lips.
Tasks depend only on your imagination and the level of emancipation of the company. If desired, this game can be turned into at least a game of "undressing".
In addition to the playing field, you need to prepare jokers. Jokers can be any cards - for example, paper squares with the word "thank you" or ordinary playing cards. In addition, you will need letters from the word “thank you” - a set of seven letters that make up the word “thank you” for each player (that is, if there are seven players, then 7 sets of letters are needed - a total of 49). Letters can be cut out of newspapers and magazines and folded into a box.
Game progress: Players take turns rolling the dice and move their chips to a number of squares equal to the number rolled on the dice. If a player gets on a cell with a letter, then he takes the same letter from the box and gets an extra move. If he already has this letter, then he does not take the second (except for the letter c), but receives an additional move.
If it hits a cell not with a letter, but with a task, then it completes it. If you do not want to complete the task, you can pay off with a joker (at the beginning of the game, everyone receives 3 jokers). Having reached the last cell, continue with the first. The game goes on until one of the participants collects all the letters from the word "thank you". He becomes the winner. It will take no more than an hour to make game "prichindals", and the game can drag on for several hours, because friends will want to play more, especially if the tasks in the game are interesting and spicy.
Reminder: World Thank You Day celebrated on January 11th. Be as polite as possible on this day and try to say the word "thank you" at least a hundred times a day. Don't forget to thank your loved ones, relatives and friends for being by your side! Send thank you cards to your parents, text all your good friends and thank you for something. There is definitely a reason to be thankful!
