Here are a collection of win-win and universal games that will fit well into the program of almost any holiday and will bring pleasure to participants and spectators. Among them there are already known, but still favorite entertainments, there are also relatively new ones .
Proposed the best games and competitions for any holiday- simple and cheerful, which are designed for companies of various compositions and ages, and, as a rule, go off with a bang everywhere. They can be safely carried out both at friendly parties and at corporate events, without fear of embarrassing or putting someone in an awkward position. These are games, and there are more than 20 of them here, just for fun and to raise the festive mood!
1. Competition for the holiday “It is forbidden to laugh at monkeys!”
Everyone who wants to play joins the leader in a circle. Men alternate with women. The main condition that participants are warned about is not to laugh and repeat everything after the presenter!
The presenter begins: with his right hand he takes the neighbor on the right by the left ear. Everyone else does exactly the same. Then the leader takes hold of the right knee of his left neighbor with his left hand. Then, without letting go of his neighbors, he tries to squat or jump on one leg. Everyone repeats. Those who laugh are removed from the field.
Then everyone starts over, only the leader needs to take completely different places of his playing partners. The more unexpected the combination, the faster the winner will be determined. By the way, make an exception that the presenter is still allowed to laugh.
2. Competition for the Tic-Tac-Toe holiday with a surprise.
This game is for activating holiday fun.
Prepare the playing field for “crosses and toes” in advance, numbering and hiding a phantom (task) with each square. It will open when the player “puts” a cross (the host then has a zero). By the way, there is no need to split into teams. Just arrange a game between the host and the guests.
What will the tasks be? For example, “Dance a striptease” or “Drink a glass of vodka,” and the like. Instead of forfeits, you can assign a gift to each cell, but only the winner will receive it and only from the winning line.
3. Cool game "Raskolbas".
For this game you need fake sausages or sausages that are attached to a belt and cubes. You also need to mark the gate with something.
By swinging the “sausage” and hitting the cube with it, the player must drive it into the goal. In this way, you can play for a while, or you can gather two teams and arrange a friendly match between them.
4. "Casanova".
This game is played exclusively by men, five to seven people.
Each participant is given an inflated balloon in the shape of a sausage and a felt-tip pen. Of course, the ball in this case acts as a “phallic symbol”. And every man should have time to draw as many female figures as possible on it. Players are given two minutes to do everything.
The one who has the largest number of female silhouettes, and therefore “victories”, wins and is recognized by the local Casanova.
5. "Modern Superman."
, the approach to it could be like this:
Presenter: “We all know very well that during his life a real man must build a house, plant a tree and raise a son. Nowadays, people interpret this truth as follows: a man must “plant” a liver, grow a belly and “build” a wife and mother-in-law.” Are there anyone willing to defend the title of real men, Superman? Four to five people will be enough.
For them, the presenter announces the following tasks:
- to “plant” the liver, players are offered to drink a glass of vodka quickly through a straw (or a more gentle option - a liter of juice through a straw);
We will grow our belly using balloons, quickly inflate them, tie them and put them under our shirts, then we offer to play one round of sumo wrestling. The players, split into pairs, begin to bump their bellies. Whoever's stomach "bursts" faster in a pair loses.
For the third test, players are given two minutes, during which they must go to the guests and have time to touch (as if to push with their shoulders) as many women as possible - the “marked” ladies stand in a row behind the player. Whoever lined up the most women in a row won.
We announce Superman based on the results of three rounds.
6. "In one team."
For more excitement, we suggest making a bottle of alcohol the main prize in this game. And, most logically, the participants in the game will be men. If women also want to compete in competitions for the main prize, then it is better to equalize the chances, let the lady compete with the lady.
In advance, the toastmaster should prepare several “harnesses” from wide and strong braid. For example, a “harness” can be made like this: cut the braid one and a half meters long, fold it in half, stepping back from the middle 40 - 50 centimeters, sew a transverse strip to both ends so that you get a wide loop - it goes over the head. The cross ribbon will lie horizontally on the chest, and the free long ends are brought back.
You need to “harness” two people into one “harness” (they will look and pull in different directions), and put a bottle for each on his side. At the leader’s command, everyone pulls in their own direction to prevent their opponent from taking possession of the prize and to quickly reach it themselves.
The winners are determined by themselves - whoever was able to overpower his teammate won.
7. "Bag with a surprise."
The players stand in a circle, the leader with a bag in his hands too. This bag contains panties, T-shirts, pantaloons, long johns, large size bras, headbands and other props (pack the contents of the bag for a specific company).
When the music starts, the presenter hands one of the players a bag, who passes it on. The music stopped - the one in whose hands the bag takes out the first thing he comes across and puts it on himself. The music started playing - the bag went from hand to hand. And so on until the bag is empty. Then you can arrange to congratulate the heroes of the occasion, performed only for dressed up guests - ditties, dance, etc.
8. "Thrice tied."
Couples are invited for this little fun, consisting, of course, of a lady and a gentleman. Moreover, the ladies are blindfolded, but they first explain that it is in this state that they must tie three bows to their partners in three different places. Of course, this is a difficult task even with open eyes, so women need to be asked to use their imagination (for example, hint that any prominent part of a man’s head - ears, nose - can become a place for a bow).
The winner is the one who completes the task faster than the rest.
9. "Rabbit family."
Couples participate in this game: men will be “rabbits” (dressed up with ears, shirtfronts and tails), and women will be “rabbits” (dressed up with ears, skirts, tails).
Presenter: “We know well that rabbits are excellent family men and reproduce very well. Everyone knows this, but no one has seen how it is done. But now we can observe the process.” With these words, the players are given balls and markers. Rabbits and female rabbits will have to break into pairs and start producing offspring: one inflates the balloon, the other draws a baby rabbit on it.
Whichever couple makes the most “children” in three minutes wins.
10. "An angler's dream."
For this game, the presenter needs to have: 2 children's rubber pools, six to seven improvised fishing rods (we make them from wooden sticks, fishing line and rings from a children's pyramid instead of hooks). Naturally, it is not crucian carp and pike that are “launched” into the pools, but a dozen and a half bottles of beer, champagne, vodka, wine and the like.
From among those willing, we recruit two teams, four people per pool. We hand out fishing rods and loudly warn that players only have one minute to fish. If any of the players managed to fish out the bottle, they take it for themselves. If they didn’t have time, it means they will be left without a souvenir.
11. "And where am I?"
We select four participants and pin signs on their backs with the names of a variety of public places, for example, a public toilet, a dormitory, a bathhouse, a clinic, a beach, a store, a housing office, and so on. (Other options: pre-trial detention center, strip bar, nudist beach, gynecologist's office, cinema, Intim store, roller coaster, stadium, tourist center). We place the players with their backs to the guests so that everyone can clearly see everything.
The intrigue of this raffle game lies in the fact that the participants themselves have no idea what the contents of the signs are glued to their backs. At the same time, the presenter “torments” them with questions: how often do you go to this establishment? What do you need to take with you to feel comfortable in this establishment? Do you need training to do this? Do you need helpers during this activity? What song comes to mind when you're there? Who do you usually go there with?
Of course, it turns out funny, because the players answer, so to speak, from the “lantern”, the winner is determined with the help of the guests who support the player they like with their applause, the rest also need to be encouraged for the fun they bring.
12. "Schumacher".
To play, you need to stock up on five children's cars, with thick ropes of at least three meters tied to them, with simple pencils tied at the other end.
Five players stand in one line, they are given the end to which the pencil is attached (we place the machines so that the entire rope is unwound). The task is explained: at the command of the leader, the candidates for the title of great racer begin to wind the rope around a pencil with both hands.
The winner will be the one who winds the rope around the pencil first, and therefore drives his car closer to himself.
You can also determine two more prizes and shower the winners with champagne.
13. "Baba" for the teapot."
This is a fun game. Two teams can participate in it - four men and one woman each. The lady, naturally, will be that “woman” for a teapot, and the men will dress her up. Take care in advance of two huge skirts, sewn according to the “sun skirt” principle, two caps, kokoshniks or fluffy bows; shawls and mittens - oven mitts - will also come in handy - everything to make the “woman” look elegant.
We place the lady at one end of the hall or room, and the men stand at the other. At the leader’s signal, the first player runs to the “woman” and puts a wide skirt on her, after which he returns to the “start”. The second participant puts on a kokoshnik or other headdress and returns. The third covers the “woman” with a shawl and also returns to his comrades. All together they again run to the “woman” and climb under her skirt - after all, they are the very teapots on which the famous “women” sit and, as a signal of readiness, shout “And we are already having tea!”
If the people are not too drunk, then the following moment can be made a condition of the competition: men lift their “woman” and carry her to the finish line (the place where the men originally stood). And if the gentlemen have managed to reach their condition, then it is better not to risk the health of the beautiful ladies and limit themselves to “climbing under the skirt.”
The winner, as in any relay race, is the fastest and most agile.
14. “Gathering our will into a fist.”
For this competition we need newspapers according to the number of participants. Then the presenter sets the tone for the competition and says that usually a real man, upon learning shocking news, does not cry, but gathers his will into a fist and makes efforts to correct the situation. Let's imagine that the participants learned this unpleasant news from these newspapers.
Task: with one left hand (put your right hand behind your back), at the command of the leader, collect the newspaper into a fist. Despite its apparent simplicity, this task is quite complex. The winner is the one who manages to be the first to crumple the entire sheet in his left hand.
15. "People's choice."
In this case, two people will be needed. These should be active and not particularly shy men. They are given the task: in three minutes to agitate for themselves the largest number of “voters”: to kiss as many women on the cheek as possible and shake hands with as many men as possible. At the same time, guests are warned that when they are kissed or shook hands, they go into the hall (on stage) and stand on the side of their candidate.
The second round is the creation of an “image”. Naturally, the lucky “candidate” will be the one who managed to “recruit” into his ranks a larger number of people who are ready not only to stand behind their candidate, but also to present him in his best light - to dress him up, literally taking off all the best.
Whose team wins is decided by the applause of the other guests
16. "King of the evening."
This is a fun game with a trick. The presenter announces the competition for the title of “King of the Evening” is open, then says that, according to the readers of Forbes magazine, one of the indispensable qualities of a real man is the ability to kiss the hand of women in the most gallant manner and shake it firmly with men. Of course, tipsy gentlemen will really want to show off, so the presenter must announce that he is timing the time, and the men are in a hurry to collect as many handshakes and kisses as possible.
When the time is up - two or three minutes - the presenter announces that, according to the same magazine, a real man, and especially a king, never fusses (he singles out the most leisurely and imposing among the players), and therefore becomes the “King of the evening”, asks , what is the name of the unhurried guest and hands him the crown.
17. "The Sultan and his wives."
For this competition, you will need to call two men from the audience, who will independently select a harem of six to eight “wives.” Then, each of them, together with his “harem,” will compete for the title of best sultan.
Feed your sultan. The presenter brings out balloons, threads and scissors. The sultans wear huge trousers. Assignment: in the three minutes allotted for this test, the girls must inflate as many balloons as possible and stuff them into their “husband’s” trousers. The fatter the “sultan”, the more caring his wives are. To find out whose harem won, the presenter takes a needle and pierces all the balls in the pants of the royal spouse. The spectators count their number in unison. The number of inflated balloons is recorded on paper.
Sultan's love. They say that in harems not a single wife is offended by attention - it is necessary to demonstrate this. The “Sultans” must quickly kiss each of their wives on those two delicious places on their female body that the “husbands” like most. The point goes to the fastest one. (you can see other kissing competitions)
The most promising. It would be nice to find out what everyone's reserves are in terms of increasing the harem. Each sultan nominates his favorite wife, and at the command of the leader, he begins, quickly moving around the hall, to kiss all the ladies who come across his way. The beloved wife runs behind and keeps count. The one who managed to kiss the most girls earns a point.
The winner in the Sultan's competition is determined by the number of points earned by men - he gets a prize, but both "Sultans" receive kisses from their "wives" and applause from the audience.
19. "Invisible clothespins."
We call five couples consisting of a man and a woman. We give the ladies an unlimited number of clothespins and explain that in forty-five seconds they must attach as many of them to their partner’s clothes as possible. This task will be the first round of the competition. After forty-five seconds, we count the clothespins: how many of them were on the player, the number of points the pair earned.
In the second round, you need to blindfold the ladies and, while the presenter explains to them the further plan of action, his assistants change partners' places. And the task for the girls is simple: in the same forty-five seconds, remove from the gentleman everything that is attached to him. I mean, clothespins. Whoever withdraws how much will earn that much.
The winner is the pair that, based on the sum of attached and removed clothespins, scores the most points.
20. "Cavaliers pay."
This competition is for. For this, the presenter needs special props: for ladies, belts with a huge wallet made of thick fabric attached to the front, and for gentlemen, belts with huge banknotes (the size of a landscape sheet) attached (not rigidly).
The essence of the game is that male players with “bills” tied in front must get into the “wallets” of their female partners. Naturally, using your hands is strictly prohibited. In principle, the pair that manages to complete this task faster than the others wins.
For less “solvent” gentlemen, you can make another version of this game. Tin cans (or plastic buckets) are attached to the ladies' belts, into which the men throw the change they receive from the host. The pair with the most hits wins.
21. "In position."
A long-known game in which men have to feel all the inconveniences of an interesting position. To create the illusion of pregnancy, each participant has a large balloon attached to their stomach with tape.
Then a box of matches is scattered on the floor, on command everyone begins to collect matches - bending over each one separately. Whoever collects the most matches wins.
22. Ageless "Crocodile".
In general, this is a well-known toy from television called “Crocodile”. But here you can add some of your own twists.
Those who want to play are divided into two teams. One of the teams thinks of a word, which, accordingly, becomes known to one of the opponents. His task is to use gestures and facial expressions to explain to “his own people” what the group of competitors is planning.
The “raisin” in this case will be that the theme for the riddle is determined by the presenter. He prepares cards with topics. The explanations for the names of dances and sports look especially funny. For example, “aerobics” or “rowing”.
If the players are smart, then after the first round you can move on to making whole phrases and aphorisms, like “everything flows, everything changes.” The winners are determined by the number of words guessed.
23. "Photo composite".
For this entertainment, two pairs of players and assistants are called to help the presenter (who will write down pluses and minuses in the “questionnaire” of each player, depending on the correctness of the answer). A game of attentiveness, it is proposed to check how the participants cope with the task: create a composite photo of their partner. But we announce the task after we place the players with their backs to each other, so that there is no chance to prepare and specifically remember something.
Then the host invites the players to concentrate and imagine each other in detail and begins to ask questions. The first question is a warm-up: what is your partner's name? Naturally, everyone answers it.
Second question: what color are his eyes? Then: what color is the hair; Let’s clarify how long they are (this is the third and fourth questions).
Then there are questions that would help to recreate the person’s appearance: does he wear a watch, what fingers are he wearing rings on, what color is the tie (dress), is there any jewelry hanging around his neck, the style of trousers/skirts, model and size of shoes. In general, it is best to ask about little things that are not always obvious. The more interesting it will be to play. Total quantity - 10-15 pieces.
The winner is determined by the number of matches with the original.
One of the important components of a fun and exciting holiday is active games and original competitions that do not allow anyone to remain on the sidelines and unite all party participants. The best games and competitions presented here will brighten up any holiday and add excitement and humor to it.
Especially for the site
The presenter says 2-3 any words that are not related in meaning, for example, “paint,” “river,” “hare.” Participants in the game are asked to make sentences that include these words. The more offers there are, the better. For example, the following sentences can be made from these words: the hare discovered paints by the river; grandfather, cowardly as a hare, hid the paints behind the stove; on the river bank a hare was licking paints. The presenter rewards the participant who has made the most original and understandable proposal.
"Guess the phrase"
This entertaining game is as follows: one of the guests is asked to leave the room, and the rest must, in his absence, think of a phrase from a popular song. The guest returns. In order to guess the intended phrase, he asks questions to those present, who in turn must answer in such a way that one of the words of the intended phrase is present in the answer.
"Associations"
This game can be played with guests sitting at the table. The leader speaks any word into his neighbor's ear. He, without thinking, must immediately tell the next word that was his association with what he heard. He also tells his neighbor his association to the word he hears. So, along the chain, the turn reaches the last person at the table, who must say his word out loud. It is compared to the word spoken by the presenter. This comparison can be very interesting.
Lottery - Allegro
For this game, you need to prepare lottery tickets and, of course, prizes in advance (and more: so many that there are enough for each participant). Each lottery ticket is assigned its own lot, after which they can be distributed to guests (you can place them next to each guest’s cutlery even before the wedding feast begins). And then, as soon as the guests reach the desired state (that is, they become cheerful enough without losing the ability to distinguish the numbers on their lottery ticket), start the lottery. The presenter names the lottery ticket (its owner will be able to raise his hand or stand up to reveal his presence) and hands over the prize. To make it more interesting, for each prize you can compose a short poem telling what kind of prize awaits the participant.
For example:
1. You may not need to put on makeup - But here's some lipstick for you!
2. Do you want to refuel? Get chocolate!
3. If you write, Here's a new notebook for you!
4. Will you give me an autograph? I'll give you a pencil!
5. Know about everything in the world: Read the newspaper!
6. All people with a sweet tooth love this chocolate candy!
7. On a summer day you always need Eau de Toilette!
8. Do you want to look cool? Then you'll get a "fenka"!
9. If you like toys, here's a cracker with a trick!
And one of the guests gets a prize in the form of a huge size of family panties, in which he must go out and dance
Sign language...
Quiz.
Host: How many languages do you know? You don’t even realize that you know another language besides this. And this is sign language. You just used this language (shrugged your shoulders, expressed surprise, shook your head). Colombia has even compiled a special dictionary that explains 2,000 gestures. Many gestures came to us from ancient times and have their own history. The thumb raised up or down as a sign of approval or disapproval was known to the ancient Romans: after the end of the fight, the emperor let them know whether he was leaving the gladiators to live or not. There are gestures that have become international and understandable to everyone, but some gestures of one people may be incomprehensible to other people. On our tree of curiosity there are picture gestures. I ask a question and name 3 country options.
1. When we greet each other, we shake hands. This gesture is now clear to everyone. Although in this country, in the old days, when greeting people, they shook hands with themselves. Nowadays, the speaker greets the audience with this gesture.
Countries: Korea, China (+), Ethiopia.
2. If you get to this country and a passerby sticks out his tongue at you, don’t be upset. This will mean - “I am not plotting anything against you. Be calm!” But for other nations this gesture is offensive.
Countries: Egypt, Syria, Tibet (+).
3. If a resident of this country pulls down the lower eyelid with the index finger of his left hand, it will mean “Caution!”
Countries: Italy or Spain (+), Mexico, Australia.
4. Representatives of some peoples of this country pass a pumpkin as a sign of greeting. They hold it in the right hand, and support the right elbow with the left. This is a sign of deep respect.
Countries: Türkiye, Africa (+), Greece.
5. In this country, drawing a snake's tongue with your finger means that "You are a liar!"
Countries: Argentina, India (+), Bulgaria.
6. To express admiration, we clap our hands. And in this country, when they admire something, they will grab your earlobe.
Countries: Brazil (+), Germany, England.
7. And here, greeting each other, they rub noses.
These are: Eskimos, Latin Americans, Laplanans (+).
8. In order to express a sign of admiration, the inhabitants of this country will fold three fingers, press them to their lips and reproduce the sound of a kiss.
Countries: Spain or Mexico (+), Angola, Egypt.
9. In this country, the greeting gesture resembles a salute - the palm is placed on the forehead.
Countries: Denmark, Egypt (+), Vietnam.
10. Well, it's time to say goodbye. Russians wave goodbye from top to bottom. But a Latino would take this as a gesture of invitation. But the inhabitants of these islands, when saying goodbye, raise the palm of a friend to their lips and gently blow on it.
Countries: Hawaiian Islands, Andaman Islands (+), Canary Islands
Actors (Real Actors Competition)
As you know, a real actor must be able to get used to any role, even if he has to play a dinosaur or an alien (this often happens in movies). This is a good opportunity to check how well your guests are getting used to their roles. The presenter invites guests to depict:
- boiling kettle,
- hot iron,
- telephone,
- coffee grinder,
- alarm,
- Cuckoo-clock,
- punctured balloon,
- wormy apple,
- a rug on the floor,
- cactus,
- hanger,
- withered flowers.
The guest who gets into the role faster and better is declared the best actor and receives a prize. However, portraying inanimate objects is quite difficult. The toastmaster can offer another version of this game. For example, ask competition participants to depict:
- an anxious cat,
- angry pig,
- sad penguin,
- an offended rabbit,
- gloomy eagle.
You can offer and depict a sculpture:
- victim of sport,
- goalkeeper who caught the puck with his teeth,
- a weightlifter who did not manage to dodge the barbell in time,
- a parachutist who forgot what to pull,
- a gymnast who did not exit the third pirouette on time,
- a skier who did not have time to escape from an avalanche.
- You don’t have to invent sculptures, but try to depict world-famous architectural and sculptural structures from different countries yourself. For example, competition participants might be asked to depict:
- Egyptian pyramid,
- Statue of Liberty,
- The Leaning Tower of Pisa (perhaps, given the state of the guests who drank to your health, it will be easiest to depict this slowly falling structure),
- The Chinese wall.
And if the guests are not only talented in sculpting, but can also speak captivating speeches for hours without a piece of paper, then the task can be complicated. For example, ask them to create a monument and give a speech on its opening. Monuments may be as follows:
- the leading collector of waste materials in Russia (Plyushkin);
- OSVOD activist (grandfather Mazai);
- the first representative of the Red Cross Society in Africa (Dr. Aibolit);
- the first organizer of sports competitions (Balda);
- a leader in the weaving industry (the Frog Princess).
Where I am?
The game requires four participants. They stand in a row with their backs and a pre-prepared poster with one of the following entries is hung on each of them’s backs:
- sobering-up station
- public bath
- restroom
- public transport the participants themselves do not know what is written on the posters that hang on their backs. Next, the presenter asks questions, addressing each participant in turn. The questions should be as follows.
- Do you often go there?
- When going there, who do you take with you?
- What are you doing there?
- What do you feel after being there?
- Do you want to come there at least once more?
As the game progresses, the guests usually; and they themselves are not averse to asking a couple of tricky questions. Due to the fact that the participant does not know what is being discussed and, of course, answers inappropriately, his answers will certainly turn out to be very funny. The winner is the one with the most interesting and funniest answers (you can decide who gets the prize by voting). At the end of the game, of course, you need to take down the posters and show them to the participants in the game so that they can finally read and, remembering their answers out of place, laugh with others. The inscriptions on the "signs", of course, can be changed. Let's say you can make signs:
- nudist beach,
- cinema,
- "Intimate" store,
- roller coaster,
- stadium,
- tourist center and so on: everything largely depends on the imagination of the one who comes up with these signs

Every time we want the event, be it simple gatherings with friends, an anniversary, a wedding anniversary or something else, to remain in the memory of all participants. The easiest way to achieve this goal is to let the party end in a catastrophic manner, but this is not our method, our goal is to ensure that those gathered remember their time spent with you as the most fun and enjoyable.
A difficult task, considering that this is not the first time you and your friends have gotten together. All the scenarios are already boring, and nothing new just comes to mind. This is where various competitions come to the rescue; by playing them with your guests, you will not only create a cheerful mood, but also introduce an element of novelty into the event, because a huge number of such competitions have been invented.
Sometimes it is believed that competitions should be organized by a specially invited presenter. And you never shone even in school amateur performances, but here you need to stand up, step into the spotlight, say something, pretend to be a director. It might be easier to buy a lot of vodka, stand up and make a toast “To our victory,” let everyone get drunk again, and the alcohol will do all the work for you.
But then what to do with a wonderful idea to host an unforgettable party and what will your guests think of you? They won’t think anything, but you want them to think: “She’s so catchy...” But achieving this is not at all difficult, no one expects serious directorial work from you, and your audience will already be somewhat warmed up with alcohol, which will make them much more more flexible in assessing your work.
Now about the script. As I already wrote above, there are so many competition scripts that you could spend a whole day just reading them. It took me even more time, because I was faced with the task of selecting the most interesting, from my point of view, competitions, so that you don’t have to dig through several thousand (sometimes almost the same type) competitions, but choose from the best.
Of course, as for any theatrical performance, preparation and, above all, props will be required. I tried to simplify the task for you, in the competitions I selected there are a minimum of props and they are not expensive, but they are still necessary, and the guests will have a completely different attitude towards the competitions if they see that you have approached the preparation of the event with all your heart.
If doubts about your directorial abilities still outweigh any good intentions, I advise you to find an assistant director. A husband or boyfriend would be suitable for this role (I think you will find a way to convince him), or maybe your best friend. As a last resort, it could be a professional, the main thing is that everyone can see that you are the host of the show, and the professional is only helping you. Next time, having already gained experience, you can handle it yourself.
A fun and adventurous old game is gaining more and more popularity. There is a whole article dedicated to it on my website. Fanta’s article is already six months old, I even received several letters with comments in my email, I also posted these letters on my website. If you, my dear readers, would like to comment on this article, send letters to me by email or leave a review in the guest book.
However, it should be remembered that competitions are just an auxiliary part of the holiday, designed to fill the pauses between the stages of the traditional holiday meal. In no case should you devote a lot of time to them, especially if you hold more than one competition in a row.
The ideal solution is to choose 4-5 competitions, distribute them over time, taking into account that the further away the guests get, the drunker they get (it’s no secret that some competitions won’t work for a sober head or will seem stupid, but, on the contrary, they will seem very fun for a drunk one ).
The interval between competitions should be set depending on the “tightness” of the guests. I felt that there was a “pause”, some interesting competition would immediately appear, and then we could drink to its winner, and the fun began again.
Here are some competitions:
The ball is flying.
This competition will require inflated balloons and slightly tipsy players.
Task: without using your hands, keep your ball from falling; you can hit it with your head, chest, back, legs. You can’t interfere with your competitors, but you still can’t do without it. You can complicate the task by allowing players to only blow on the ball; on New Year’s Day, the ball can be replaced by a snowflake cut out of a napkin
The number of participants simultaneously playing with the balls depends on the free space available. If you simultaneously launch a large number of players into a small area, it will, of course, be more fun, but the risk that the players will interfere with each other increases. So it’s not far from injury.
Close the circuit.
For this fun competition you only need a lot of pieces of paper, pencils and some kind of opaque bag.
The facilitator calls two teams, preferably at least five people in each, and distributes a piece of paper and a pencil to each player on each team. On sheets of paper, players write two words representing body parts. For example, “HAND, NOSE.”
Then all the pieces of paper are put into a bag and mixed, and the teams disperse to the space allotted to them. The presenter takes pieces of paper out of the bag one by one. The first will be a task for the first team, the second - for the second, the third - again for the first, etc.
Now how to complete the task. The player who received the “HAND, NOSE” piece of paper must touch his friend’s nose with his hand and remain in that position. The one who gets the “NOSE, LEGS” piece of paper will be less lucky, but the players don’t know who will get the task they wrote, maybe their opponents, or maybe themselves.
The goal is to close the circuit by touching the parts of the body indicated in the tasks. If both teams succeed, the one that stays in this position longer wins.
Break the eggs.
For the competition you will need raw eggs, bags (for example: small plastic bags), rope.
Players have a bag with two raw eggs in each bag tied to their belts on a rope. The length of the rope should be such that the bag dangles somewhere at knee level. Players are divided into teams of two. The players of each pair stand opposite each other and, moving their pelvis, swing their egg sacs.
The goal is to collide the bags with your teammate and break the eggs in them.
Deflate the egg.
For the competition you will need a raw egg and a plate of flour.
Two players sit at a table opposite each other. An egg is placed between them in the middle of the table. The players' task is to blow the egg off the table onto the opponent's side. It could have ended there, but the presenter’s cruelty knows no bounds.
The players are told that they must now do the same thing, but blindfolded. However, as soon as the eyes are blindfolded, a plate of flour is placed instead of the egg.
I don’t know what these two could have done so badly. Maybe they made a mistake and stole the groom instead of the bride at the wedding or beat all the guests at strip cards.
In any case, I propose to forgive them and limit ourselves to the first part of the competition.
Associations.
The competition requires nothing more than a fairly tipsy group.
The players sit in a circle. One of the players speaks the first word that comes to mind into the ear of his neighbor. He, without hesitation, speaks into the next ear his first association, to this word. The third player does the same, and so on until the last association reaches the first player.
Then it turns out that the associations led the players either towards drinking, or sex, or somewhere else. All that remains is to find out who this “spoiled” player is who was the first to “knock down” the associations of the entire company onto this crooked path. For this purpose, associations are made public.
Identify your wife by her leg.
A woman's stocking may be required.
The competition is held in a well-drinking company, preferably in the company of friends of about the same age.
The victim is selected from among the men who came to the party with his wife. The victim is taken to the next room, and at this time preparations are made for the show. Three women are selected, among them may or may not be the victim's wife. For more fun, you can include one man in the “three” by putting a woman’s stocking on his leg.
The three chosen ones sit on chairs set out in free space and raise one leg. At this time, the victim is brought into the room blindfolded and they announce to him that he must recognize his wife from the three applicants by touch by touch.
Football with a bottle.
The competition will require rope, empty bottles, tennis balls and a prize.
There are few people who want to play such a game without a prize, but in order to win a teddy bear for her in front of her, many men are ready for such a feat.
So, two players were found, an empty bottle is tied to their belts with a rope, so that it hangs down, not reaching the floor 10-20 cm. A field and two goals are indicated. The goal is to score a goal for your opponent by hitting the ball with a bottle dangling between your legs.
The presenter monitors compliance with the main rule (touching the ball is only allowed with a bottle) and awards penalties. You can also defend the gate only with a bottle. It’s quite difficult to play by these rules, so it’s enough to finish the game until the first goal.
Square.
The competition will require a rope. This competition should be held outdoors.
The competition is very similar to tug-of-war, only you take not one rope, but two connected in the middle. They resemble two diagonals of a square, in the corners of which the players are located. Knots or loops are made at the ends of the rope to make it easier for players to hold on. Behind each player, an object is placed at the same distance, for example a bottle of beer.
On command, players begin to pull the rope. Task: without letting go of the rope, get the bottle. Whoever did it first won. Unlike tug-of-war, this competition is more unpredictable, because you are fighting not only with the opponent located diagonally from you, but also with those to the left and right. Trying to get the bottle, you will turn your face in its direction and in this position you will pull; this also distinguishes the “Square” competition from tug of war.
If you replace beer bottles with flags, you can hold this competition for a children's company.
Archery.
Like the previous one, this competition should be held outdoors, and it is also suitable for a children's company.
For the competition you will need a bucket and two dozen onions of ordinary onions. If you don't want to spoil the onions, replace them with tennis balls or just pine cones.
For the competition, players are divided into two teams. The site is marked, the start and finish lines are drawn. The onion prepared for the competition is placed on the finish line, and a bucket is placed 3-5 meters behind the finish line. The teams gather at the starting line, the leader takes a position at the bucket.
At the command of the leader, one player from each team runs from start to finish, takes one onion and throws it into a bucket, trying to hit it. The presenter assigns points to the teams for each hit. The players return to the starting line and pass the baton to the next. So until the bow runs out, the faster team will get more onions and, accordingly, more chances to get into the bucket, but the more accurate team still wins.
Newspaper.
For the competition you will need two identical newspapers, two sheets of paper, two glue sticks and two scissors.
Participants are divided into two teams. They are given a newspaper, a piece of paper, a glue stick and scissors. Task: cut out letters, syllables, and if you can find them, whole words from a newspaper and compose a phrase from them. For example, “Long live our hero of the day!” You need to do this faster than your rivals.
Hint: the winner will be the team that can organize the work by dividing the task into its component parts and assigning the most suitable performer to each. For example, one looks for and marks letters, another cuts them out, and a third glues them.
Questions - answers.
The competition requires serious preparation. You need to make a list of questions and a list of answers. Answers and questions can be completely “from the lantern”; they do not necessarily have to somehow relate to each other.
Examples of questions:
- Do you like me?
- Is it true that you like to spit on passers-by from the balcony?
- Do you like to swim naked (naked)?
- Have you been coded (coded) for alcoholism?
-Are you wearing underwear now?
Example answers:
- on Saturdays this is a necessity for me.
- when I'm drunk, and I'm always drunk.
- Yes, I’d rather drown myself.
- Of course, I make money from this.
- only on certain days of the month.
Questions and answers are written on separate cards. The game is played right at the festive table. A deck with question cards and a deck with answer cards are placed on the table. The first player takes a card with a question and asks it to the neighbor on the right, who takes the card with the answer and answers. After that, he takes a card with a question and asks it to his neighbor on the right, and so on until he has walked the entire circle. It is clear that there must be a sufficient number of cards.
Gladiators with pillows.
For the competition you will need a bench and two pillows.
Two players participate. Before the start of the fight, they stand on the bench and take a pillow in their hands. The task is to push the opponent off the bench only with the help of a pillow, and to remain standing, or at least to remain standing longer than the opponent.
Moving blindly.
You will need two large winter hats with earflaps and two stools.
Participants are divided into two teams, each line up at the starting position and receive a challenge cap. A stool is placed 10 meters from the starting position of each team.
The task is to put on the hat backwards so that it tightly covers the eyes, walk around to the stool and come back (for reliability, you can provide elastic bands that, when put on top of the hat in the area of the eyes, will fix the hat and prevent peeking).
You will only have to focus on the shouts of your teammates (right, left, forward, etc.). The difficulty is that the players of the other team will be targeting their player at this time, and their shouts will be confusing. Upon returning to his team, the player passes the hat to the next participant. The team that completes the relay first wins.
Parodists.
The competition is suitable for a karaoke party. You will need cards with the names of various famous political figures (Lenin, Stalin, Brezhnev, Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Zhirinovsky, etc.).
The participant who pulled out the card must perform a karaoke song in the manner of the politician he received. The winner is selected by the jury.
Balloons.
The competition will require a lot of inflated balloons.
A line is drawn on the floor dividing the playing space into two fields. The teams each occupy their own field, the leader begins to throw in the balls. The players' task is to throw balls onto the opponent's field. When all the balls are already in the game, the competition is more like a dump, which lasts for several minutes.
Friendship wins the competition, it warms up perfectly, and allows you to throw out negative energy.
Maternity hospital
The competition will require cards with information about the newborn child, which “mothers” will have to give to “fathers.” The competition will be more difficult and more fun if the information on each card is non-standard (for example, a baby was born, has a big nose, weighs 10 pounds, can read and write, has already acted out - he stole a syringe from a nurse and injected sleeping pills into the head doctor, who is sleeping for two days).
Several couples participate in the competition. “Moms,” having received the cards, gather in one place (Maternity Hospital), and their partners, “Dads,” gather in another place (Square) 4-6 meters from the maternity hospital. The remaining guests occupy the space between the maternity hospital and the square.
At the command of the presenter, “mothers” begin to convey to their “fathers” the information written on the card they received. The difficulty is that:
- time is limited (1-2 min.),
- all “mothers” transmit information at the same time, which greatly confuses “fathers”
- other guests actively interfere with the transmission of information: they shout, knock, clap.
The winner is the pair that managed to most accurately transmit and receive information from the card.
The cat is sick.
No props are required for the competition. But to start the game, a volunteer will be required to play the role of the first cat. If one is not found, then you will be the first cat.
Participants should be seated on the floor, preferably in a circle. The “first cat” purrs and crawls on all fours with a cat-like gait towards one of the participants and begins to rub against him like a cat. The “cat’s” task is not to laugh itself, but to make the player laugh.
The participant to whom the cat crawled must slowly say, “My poor cat is sick today.” At the same time, he must maintain a serious and even concerned face about the cat’s health. This is despite the cat’s efforts to make him laugh, and also despite the fact that the other players are allowed to laugh and they will probably do it.
If the participant the “cat” is rubbing against fails to maintain a serious look, he himself becomes a cat, and the first cat takes his place. If it was possible to maintain a serious appearance, the “cat” goes to another participant.
Match golf.
This competition is very similar to the Bottle Football competition. I would even call it a simplified version of that competition.
You will need rope, empty bottles, matchboxes.
The site is marked. A hole is dug in the center or a circle depicting a hole is drawn. Matchboxes are installed on different sides of the hole, at equal distances from it, according to the number of players participating in the competition.
The players are prepared in the same way as for the “Bottle Football” competition: an empty bottle is tied to their belts on a rope so that it hangs down, not reaching the floor 10-20 cm.
The players disperse to their holes and, at the command of the leader, begin to move their boxes towards the hole by swinging the bottles and hitting the boxes with them. The participant whose box lands in the hole first wins.
Labyrinth.
The competition will require a long rope and a fairly large company.
Several participants and several guests are selected to play the role of pillars. Participants are led into an adjacent room, and a maze is created in the main room using a long rope and guests acting as pillars.
The presenter brings one participant at a time from the next room. He is asked to remember the location of the passages in the maze, after which he is blindfolded. At this time, the “pillars” silently leave along with the labyrinth.
The player, not knowing that there are no longer any obstacles in his way, begins to carefully move forward, guided by the screams of the guests not involved in the production (“the pillars” are better off remaining silent). Advice from guests can be very different and contradictory. For example, “be careful, there is a pole in front of you”, “step over the rope”, “turn right and crawl under the rope, it is at waist level”, etc.
Having mocked the first player enough, his eyes are untied and he joins the guests. The pillars again go to the center of the room, the labyrinth is restored and the next victim is invited.
Caught a fish.
For the competition you will need a long rope of salted or smoked fish and two identical sticks.
Sticks are tied to the ends of the rope, and a fish is tied to the middle.
Two participants take hold of the sticks and move apart to allow the ropes to stretch. At the command of the leader, they wind the rope around the stick and approach the fish. Important condition: you can only wind the rope by rotating the stick around its axis, without touching the rope with your hands; winding the rope around the stick by hand is prohibited.
The participant who gets to the fish first receives it as a prize.
Sign language.
Nothing is required for the competition.
Participants are divided into two teams. The first team sends a messenger to the opposing team. The second team comes up with a funny phrase, Fomenko’s pearls are very suitable, for example, “sex without a girl is a sign of a fool,” and tells it to the messenger.
Returning to his team, the messenger tries to convey the contents of the message to his comrades using sign language. The task is to understand as accurately as possible what the messenger is trying to convey.
Then the first team comes up with a phrase and passes it on to the second team’s messenger. Now the second team is trying to understand the transmitted phrase using the gestures of its messenger. The competition can continue until you get tired of it.
Blind portrait.
The competition is best held at an event dedicated to a specific person (for example, at a birthday).
You will need two sheets of whatman paper, pins or tape to attach the sheets to the wall, two sets of felt-tip pens, two winter hats with earflaps (you can just use two blindfolds).
The sheets are fixed on the wall, the players are divided into two teams and gather near their Whatman paper. The hero of the occasion takes the place of the model on the chair. The presenter gives the command to put the hat on backwards, so as to close the eyes, to one of the players on each team.
The participant in the hat turns to his Whatman paper and, at the command of the presenter, draws some part of the body of the hero of the day. After this, the hat is put on the next player, he also turns to whatman paper and the presenter says what else to draw. And so on until the teams run out of players. It is left to the hero of the occasion to evaluate the quality of the portraits.
Cribs.
The competition will require a lot of rolls of toilet paper.
We all remember how important it was to hide the cheat sheet in such a way that it was unnoticeable and at the same time convenient, and the “Crib Sheet” competition will reveal who has the best hand at this.
Participants are called on stage and given a roll of toilet paper. Their task is to tear the paper into pieces and stuff it into their clothes. The task is to do this not only quickly, but also in such a way that the toilet paper does not hang from all the pockets, otherwise the teacher (presenter) will remove you from the exam with an unsatisfactory grade.
Songs.
Nothing is required for the competition. It is very convenient to spend it with guests right at the festive table.
Guests are divided into two teams, for example, the left and right half of the table. The first team sings a verse from a song. For example:
“Yellow leaves are circling over the city,
With a quiet rustling they lie at our feet,
And you can’t hide from autumn, you can’t hide,
The leaves are yellow, tell me what you are dreaming about"
The second team remembers a song in which any word from the song of the first team appears. In our example, the second team chose the word “city” and they must sing a verse from a song where this word also appears. For example:
“Under the blue sky there is a golden city
With transparent gates and a bright star
And in that city there is a garden, all herbs and flowers
Animals of unprecedented beauty walk there."
The first team selects the word “golden” from this verse and sings its own verse:
“If only I had golden mountains
And rivers full of wine,
I would give anything for caresses, glances,
So that you own me alone."
This continues until the song reserve of one of the teams runs out.
Living figure.
This competition also does not require props, but it will require a lot of participants.
Participants are divided into teams of at least 10 people. The task of each team, at the signal from the leader, is to form the figure proposed by the leader. For example, on the “Circle” command, they must group themselves so that, when viewed from above, the figure they construct resembles a circle as much as possible (if they constructed not a circle, but a circle, then this is a mistake).
Based on the results of constructing each figure, the presenter assigns one point to the team that completed the task faster and better. Advice - it’s better to start with simple figures, and then move on to more complex ones. Here are more examples of tasks:
Triangle.
- Square.
- Arrow.
- Exclamation mark.
- Sun with rays.
- Letter “A”, etc.
The team that scores the most points wins.
Huge pants.
The competition will require two oversized pants and a large number of balloons.
Two participants of approximately the same build are called. They put on pants and are given the task of stuffing as many balloons into these pants as they can fit. The winner is the one who stuffs the most balloons into his pants.
Understand me.
We often see similar competitions on television, but why not play it at home.
You will need a box or bag, a stopwatch (available in almost any mobile phone), a very large number of small pieces of paper and pens according to the number of participants.
Before the start of the game, participants are divided into teams of 2 people. They are all given pens and small pieces of paper (10-15 pieces each), they are asked to write the name or nickname of a famous person on each piece of paper. The leaves are collected and placed in a box.
The organizer of the competition can simplify the task and prepare such cards in advance, then there will be no need to force the players to do this, it will eliminate repetitions, save a lot of time, and most importantly, the participants will not lose the gaming mood from this prelude.
The teams take turns starting to complete the task, and the leader times the time. The task is as follows: one of the two team members, without looking, takes one card out of the box and tries to explain to his friend the name of the person written there. For example: “He was the leader of the bandits in Sherwood Forest” (Robin Hood). He explains until his friend understands; if he doesn’t fully understand, he can explain it spell by letter. For example: “The first letter is like the first letter in a word denoting the color of my lipstick (P), the second letter when written resembles an oval (O), the third letter is like the first letter in a word that has the opposite meaning of the word “small” (B).” And so on until the second team member understands or spells who we are talking about. Then the player takes out a second card and everything repeats.
All this is done for a while. For example, 1 minute is given, after which it is counted how many cards the team has “processed” and the next pair of participants enters the game.
Rolling nose.
For the competition you will need several lids (shells) from matchboxes.
Participants are divided into teams, optimally 5 people. Each team receives one matchbox cover.
The teams line up; at the leader’s signal, the first participant in each team puts a matchbox lid on his nose. His task, holding his hands behind his back, is to pass the lid from nose to nose to the nearest team member. Then the cap continues to be passed along the baton to the last team member.
If the cover falls, the team starts the transfer procedure from the very beginning. For this reason, teams should not be very large, otherwise the competition may last for an unlimited time. The first team to pass the cap to the last player wins.
Get to the prize.
The competition will require a prize. The prize is wrapped, and a piece of paper with the printed text of the riddle is glued to the wrapper in the place where the ends of the wrapping paper meet. This is done several times, the number of wrappers in which the prize is wrapped and, accordingly, the number of riddles can reach ten to twenty.
Participants are arranged in some order. You can hold a competition at the festive table. The first participant reads the riddle on the outer wrapper, if he knows, he gives the answer to the riddle, if not, he passes it on to the next participant.
After the answer to the riddle is found, the participant who gave the correct answer removes the top wrapper and reads the riddle that seals the next layer. Everything is repeated until all layers of the wrapper are removed. The prize goes to the person who solves the last riddle and removes the last layer of wrapper.
Put shoes on everyone.
Nothing is required for the competition.
Participants are divided into two teams and seated opposite each other at a distance of 2-3 meters. The team captains step aside and turn away. Team members take off their shoes from one foot and hand them over to the leader. The leader creates a pile of shoes from the collected shoes and boots in the space between the teams; you can add some extra shoes.
At the command of the leader, the captains return to their teams. Their task is to look at and remember from the remaining shoes what the members of their team are wearing. Then they must choose from a pile of shoes the one that belongs to their team members. The one who gets his team into shoes the fastest wins.
Thrift.
For the competition you will need many identical coins, for example 1 ruble each and several three-liter glass jars.
The site is marked. The starting line is marked, and three-liter jars are placed at a distance of 4-5 meters from it. Participants each take positions opposite their jar and receive a certain number of coins (for example, 10 pieces). Their task is to hold the coins between their knees and jump to their jar and pour the coins into the jar. All this, of course, must be done without the help of hands. Speed does not matter, the most thrifty one wins - the one who can carry and pour the largest number of coins into the jar.
Pop the ball.
Several pairs of participants are selected. The players of each pair stand opposite each other, put their hands behind their backs, and place a ball between their stomachs. The task is to burst the ball by squeezing it with your stomachs.
One-armed.
With one left hand, it’s all the same - tear the newspaper into small pieces, while the arm is extended forward, the free hand behind the back. Whoever completes the smallest job wins.
As an option: you need to take the newspaper with your right hand, then, on command, quickly gather the entire newspaper into a fist. Whoever did it faster is the winner.
Panties with elastic.
Each participant in the competition is given panties without elastic and an elastic band with a pin. Amid thunderous applause and applause, the participants begin to put these elastic bands into their underpants, and then they are required to put them on themselves. The winner is the one who is the first to “make” the panties and put them on.
Rolls.
Several participants are called. They are blindfolded and given a roll of toilet paper. On command, participants begin to unwind the roll and tear it lengthwise into two halves. The winner is the participant who unwinds and tears the roll lengthwise faster than others without tearing it into pieces.
Take care of your nose.
A pair or several pairs are selected (then the competition is held for a time). An ordinary sheet of paper is placed between the partners' faces. They, in turn, hold it with their foreheads (it's simple). Now, on command, they try to make a hole in the sheet (this is more difficult). The presenter must warn the participants that tearing the sheet is strictly prohibited - a fine will be imposed for this. Tip: The easiest way to make a hole in the leaf is with your tongue. Of course, you can try to bite through the leaf, but for some reason you always end up with your partner’s nose along with the leaf.
Elephant.
The hostess offers each team a piece of paper, on which they collectively draw an elephant with their eyes closed: one draws the body, another draws the head, the third draws the legs, etc. The one who draws the fastest and most similar drawing wins.
Blow off the card.
The presenter places a deck of cards on the neck of the bottle and invites the first participant. His task is to blow 3 cards from the bottle, no more, no less. If the required number of cards cannot be blown away, the participant is eliminated from the game. If there are several winners, next time you need to blow away 4 cards, etc., until a winner is determined who receives a bottle.
Pharaoh's mummy.
For the game, the presenter will have to prepare several rolls of toilet paper. You will need to use cheap white paper. Among the guests, those who wish to participate are selected to form teams. Each team must select a pharaoh and his servants. On command, the servants must wrap their pharaoh in white material. Each pharaoh needs to be wrapped from head to toe so that he looks completely like a mummy. The team that does it faster wins, but attention is also paid to the quality of the wrapping.
Rhinoceroses.
The more participants in this game, the better. The game can be either team or solo. To play you will need: balloons (1 per player), regular thread, adhesive tape, push pin (1 per player). The balloon is inflated and tied with a thread near the waist at the level of the buttocks. The button is used to pierce a piece of adhesive tape and stick it on the player’s forehead. This procedure is done with each participant. Then each participant must fold his hands on his chest or behind his back - he cannot use them during the game. After all these preparations, the start is given: the time is marked for the team game; after time, those who survived are counted; and for the game, everyone is for himself - he plays to the last. After which the player’s task is to pierce the enemy’s ball with a button on his forehead.
Feed me.
The guests are divided into pairs. Each pair consists of a man and a woman. The task of each pair is to work together, without using their hands, to unwrap and eat the candy that the host will give. The first couple to do this wins.
Tufts.
Before the game, remind female participants that men, like birds, are most attractive during the mating season. Let each participant choose a man for herself during the game and create the most “ruffled” one out of him. For this purpose, ladies are given multi-colored hair bands. Their task is to create as many “tufts” as possible from men’s hair using elastic bands. The creator of the most “ruffled” one is awarded a prize.
Rope.
Two pairs are called. A rope is stretched between two chairs. The guy and the girl hold the ball between them and, without touching the ball with their hands, pass under the rope. The second pair does the same. After this, the rope is lowered. Repeats until one of the pairs can overcome the obstacle.
Dragon's tail.
The group stands in a column, tightly holding each other's waists. The first one's task is to catch the last one, and the latter's task is to dodge.
Storyteller.
Suitable for a company of at least 5 people. You will need a book with a fairy tale (the simpler and more childish, the better), cards with the names of all the characters in the fairy tale (they should be prepared in advance)
Assignment: roles are distributed between the participants by simple drawing of lots (for example: by pulling cards from the package). After this, the presenter reads the story, and the participants must play a role in accordance with their role as they read the text.
Words.
No preparation is required.
The presenter calls several participants (ideally 5 people) and determines the topic.
Then he addresses each participant in turn. The task is for the participant addressed by the presenter to name a word on a given topic. You can’t repeat yourself and listen to hints. Thinking time should be limited to, for example, 10 seconds. With each subsequent round, the task becomes more and more difficult to complete and players begin to drop out. The last one left wins.
Examples of topics: professions, animals, names, compliments; at a corporate party, some kind of professional theme is possible.
Penalty balls.
Decorating the hall where the party is being held with balloons is fashionable and beautiful, but even here you can add more fun if you add a task card to each balloon. The task can be taken on my website in the article.
At some point in the party, the host announces that the balloons contain a task that must be completed. Who will carry out the task: all the guests in turn, the lucky ones selected according to some scheme, or, throughout the entire party, the penalty box will thus atone for their “guilt”, this is at the discretion of the party organizer.
The essence of the competition is simple. For example, a guest lingered in the smoking room and missed the toast. He already knows that, in order to atone for his mistake, he needs to choose one of the balloons, burst it, take out a card with the task, publicly announce it and conscientiously fulfill it. And if he doesn’t know this, then the presenter will definitely enlighten him.
Send fax.
You will need 2 sheets of paper, 2 pencils and 2 drawings, not complex, but not as simple as a geometric figure.
The players are divided into two teams, each team lines up in a column one at a time, so that the first in the column are near the table. Each player receives paper and pencil.
The leader shows the last players in each column (only them) a drawing. The players, with their finger on the back of their comrade standing in front, begin to draw what they were shown. The player on whose back they are drawing also places his finger on the back of the one in front and begins to draw, but he did not see the drawing and is forced to form an idea of it based on the sensations on his back. And this continues until the turn reaches the first player in the column, who draws on a piece of paper what he could understand from what was drawn on his back.
The drawings are compared with the original one. The winner is the team that managed to more accurately convey the drawing on the column.
Artists.
You will need paper and markers.
The players are divided into two teams. The presenter calls one player from each team and gives them a task that needs to be depicted on paper. This can be either one task for two teams, or a common one. Unlike the previous competition, the task should not be simple. Ask them to portray “happiness” or “stash” or something like that.
Artists try to depict the required word in the drawing as clearly as possible. After that, without saying anything, they show their drawings to their teams. The task of the other players is to guess what the task was. The team wins. Which was the first to succeed.
We offer you a rather interesting and funny competition for corporate events. The participants turn away from the rest of the employees, and the presenter broadcasts signs with inscriptions of certain places on their backs. You can’t spy and give hints, otherwise it won’t be funny. After all, no one wants to ruin the fun. The task is very simple in essence. A person, without seeing what is written on his back, should try to describe how he first came to this place. Options for places may be different, let's look at just a few examples. Participants are required to give funny answers.
The first employee says “Sobering-up station”, the second one says “Work”. Next in order of priority are “Maternity Hospital”, “Mental Hospital” and “Sex-Shop”. The first question is: “How did you first end up there?” Some answers are very what are called “on topic”. The first participant from the sobering-up center responds with words from the Caucasian captive “Barbabia Kirgudu.” You can say that he almost guesses the correct answer. And the lady with “Work”, it turns out, just came in by chance. Apparently she is a very qualified worker, because they hired her right away. It further turns out that the young lady visited the Maternity Hospital for the first time because she came there to work. But the man with the “Mental Hospital” was not very lucky with his parents, because it was his mother who brought him there by the hand. Well, the man from “Sex-Shop” flew there by helicopter - a very original way of transportation.
The next question is: “What attracts you there?” And the first participant mystically again almost guesses that life simply brought him to the Sobering-Up Center. And the lady goes to “Rabota” because everyone dances there, it’s a very interesting group, but some people are lucky. And the young lady from the “Maternity Hospital” is attracted by the fact that she is paid for it. Yes, maternity capital is not issued in every country. And the guy from the “Mental Hospital” was told that he would achieve success there, because everyone has their own career. To which the last contestant replies that a child can be found there. It’s good that he doesn’t see the “Sex-Shop” sign on his back.
This is followed by the question: “How often do you go there?”, “How do your friends and family feel about it?” and “When are you planning to go there next? “The above example illustrates quite well what comical moments can be created when performing this competition.

Competition 2. WHERE AM I?
Another conversational competition, which is also good for starting a holiday program.
The game requires four participants. They stand in a row with their backs, and a pre-prepared poster with one of the following entries is hung on everyone’s back: - sobering-up station - public bathhouse - restroom - public transport.
The participants themselves do not know what is written on the posters that hang on their backs. Next, the presenter asks questions, addressing each participant in turn. The questions should be:
Do you go there often?
- When going there, who do you take with you?
- What are you doing there?
- What do you feel after being there?
Do you want to come there at least once more?
The inscriptions on the “signs”, of course, can be changed. Let's say you can make signs:
- Nudist beach,
- Shop "Intimate"
- Pedicure
Competition 3. BOXING MATCH
Before the start of the competition, the presenter calls two real men who are ready to do anything for the sake of the lady of their heart. The ladies of the heart are present right there to exert a beneficial psychological influence on their knights. The gentlemen wear boxing gloves, the rest of the guests form a symbolic boxing ring. The presenter’s task is to escalate the situation as much as possible, suggest which muscles are best to stretch, even ask for short fights with an imaginary opponent, in general, everything is like in a real ring. After physical and moral preparation is completed, the knights go to the center of the ring and greet each other. The presenter, who is also the judge, reminds the rules, such as: do not hit below the belt, do not leave bruises, fight until first blood, etc. After this, the presenter hands the fighters each the same candy, preferably caramel (they are more difficult to unwrap, especially when they are stuck together), and asks his lady love to unwrap this candy as soon as possible, without taking off his boxing gloves. Then they are given a can of beer, which they have to open and drink themselves. The one who completes the task before his opponent wins.
PROPS - 2 pairs of boxing gloves, caramel candies, 2 cans of beer
Competition 4. DANCE FLOOR STAR
A super active competition that is perfect before a musical break to warm up. Here a lot depends on the presenter; you need, of course, to tease and joke with the contestants and cheer them up. The competition was held at more than one hundred corporate events, and it was always met with laughter and fun!
Well, now a competition called “Star of the New Year’s Dance Floor” will be held for you. This competition will require the participation of the 5 most active employees of the company. Your task is simply to dance very, very, very actively, because the most inactive dancer is eliminated. Go! (rock and roll plays) (After 20-30 seconds, the presenter chooses the most inactive one and, to applause, asks him to leave the dance floor).
Now there are only four of you left. Imagine that you danced for an hour and were so tired that your legs gave out, but real stars don’t give up that easily! So, your task is to dance no less actively, but without the help of your legs. (plays “hands up - well, where are the hands”). (After 20-30 seconds, the presenter chooses the most inactive one and asks him to leave the dance floor to applause).
There are only three of you left, and you are pretty tired, it’s time to sit down. Now dance actively while sitting, you can only move your head and hands. (Caste - Blatnoy number). After 20-30 seconds, the presenter chooses the least active one and, to applause, asks him to leave the dance floor.
And we still have two real superstars of the dance floor! There's one last push left. And, of course, at the end of such a dance battle the whole body goes numb, but the stars are never lost, because the face is still alive! Your task is to dance with facial expressions without moving anything! Let's go! (rock and roll).
After the 30-second “make” a face, the presenter, with the help of applause from the audience, chooses the New Year’s star of the dance floor!
Competition 5. A SIECE OF BREAD
THIS IS NOT EVEN A COMPETITION, BUT JUST AN INTERESTING TEST FOR GUESTS OF THE CORPORATE PARTY. YOU CAN HOLD IT IN SOME BREAK, but you can argue with someone for 1000 rubles)))
The essence of the competition is that the presenter offers to bet with someone that he cannot eat a piece of bread (a standard half) in 1 minute without drinking. This seems like a very simple task and will captivate participants to try their hand at it. But in reality it is almost impossible to do this. Do you have any doubts? Try it for yourself at lunch.
Competition 6. ICE, BABY, ICE!
A VERY INTERESTING TEST THAT IS FUN TO DO. True, a little trouble with the props is required.
The presenter calls three daredevils to participate in the competition and says that the task is “easy as pie” - you need to put on a T-shirt, that’s all. After participants are found. The presenter brings out three T-shirts, well rolled and frozen in the freezer. The participant's task is to put on the T-shirt the fastest.
Competition 7. KISS TO KEEP OUT
IT'S ALSO A QUITE SIMPLE NO-PREPARATION COMPETITION, WHICH ALWAYS GOES GREAT IN FRIENDLY COMPANY and could well be a great end to your party.
The presenter calls 8 participants - 4 males and 4 beautiful. We put people in order - m-f-m-f. Then they are told that they need to pass a kiss on the cheek, everyone in order kisses the next one on the cheek. At any moment the music stops and whoever stops is eliminated. The host should subtly command the DJ when the music needs to stop. At first, you can do it so that girls and guys drop out one by one, but by the end you need to adjust it so that three or two guys remain. It becomes very funny when only men remain in the competition.
