The presenter approaches the birthday boy and invites him to choose one note from each bag. First, he reads what gift they wanted to give him.

Such a competition is great and fun in companies where people don’t know each other very well. Each guest names 3 facts about himself. 2 of them must be true, and the third must be false.

The next participant must come up with the next phrase, etc. There are no winners or losers in this game. While making up a story, guests will have a good laugh and cheer up.
Game "Panic"
The game does not require additional details, so you can play it in any company. The guests split into pairs. You can do this at will, but it is much more interesting if the pairs are determined by lot. The facilitator gives the pairs small pieces of paper and pens. Participants write on pieces of paper any word that can come to their mind. You can write not just 1, but several words at once. The main condition for writing words is that they must be nouns and real.
The notes are put into a bag and mixed. The presenter approaches the teams one by one and invites one of the participants to pull out a note with a word. His task is to explain the word to another team member. And he must do it as quickly as possible. The maximum guessing time is 20 seconds. If the word was guessed, the note remains in the team’s piggy bank. You can immediately take out the next note with the word. The team that collects the most notes with words wins.
"Sweet Tooth Drum"
It is necessary to prepare for this competition in advance, since it will require a lot of candies. Sweets and lollipops are given to each guest. After the candy is in the mouth, participants need to say the phrase: “Sweet Tooth Drum.” Moreover, this must be done clearly and expressively. Of course, this will not be easy, but the winner will receive a prize, so the participants will have to try hard. If all participants said the phrase more or less clearly, then one more candy is added to each. The amount of sweets can be gradually increased.
3 oversized men are invited to participate in the competition. The presenter arranges them so that they are at the same distance from each other. The task of the “heroes” is to find their woman in the crowd and bring her to the start. It is necessary to ensure in advance that men whose other half is also present at the celebration participate in the competition. The winner is appointed the main hero and receives a prize.
"Buttons and mittens"
A number of people participate in the competition in pairs. Participants are divided into pairs and stand opposite each other. The presenter gives one a shirt with a lot of buttons, and the second one - mittens. The task is to fasten the buttons on the shirt as quickly as possible.
"Catch the Candy"
The number of people is unlimited. Each participant is given a hat, to which a candy is attached to the back on a string. The contestants' task is to catch the candy and eat it as quickly as possible.
When a good company gathers around the table, the party promises to be fun!
But the guests drank and ate... talked about the latest news from the lives of their loved ones and the country as a whole... danced... and some prepared to be bored... But that was not the case!
Good hosts always have something in stock that will not only relieve boredom, but will also bring the guests of the holiday closer together, and will also be remembered by everyone for a long time with fun and humor - these are, of course, various competitions.
They are very different:
- movable (with and without objects),
- musical,
- drawing,
- verbal, etc.
Today I will introduce you to those that can be carried out without leaving the table.
NOTE! They can be performed in different versions, change the rules, add items, increase or decrease the number of participants - in a word, take a creative approach to drawing up a program of fun and amusing table competitions for an adult company sitting at the table.
Let's start with the simple - what's at hand (literally and figuratively!)
"The alphabet is near us"
The presenter names any letter of the alphabet, except for the four Y-Y-L-Ъ (you can agree to exclude the letter E).
Players playing in a circle name objects - products - things starting with this letter, which are located directly next to them and which can be reached with their hand or touched.
Option! - add adjectives to the list of nouns: B - incomparable salad, incomparable lipstick (from a neighbor), endless pasta, C - nice vinaigrette, sugar cake...
The game continues until the words are exhausted. The last one to call wins.
Here's another game with letters.
"Burim in order"
Starting with the first letter of the alphabet, the players come up with a mini-congratulation (depending on the occasion of those gathered) or simply sentences that are appropriate for this holiday.
The phrase should begin first with the letter A, the next one with B, then C, and so on. It is advisable to come up with funny phrases like:
- How great it is that we have gathered today!
- It happened that...
- That's …
- Gentlemen...
Attention! What is important here is the sequence of letters in the alphabet and the meaning of the invented sentences. It is clear that some letters (ь-ъ-ы) are skipped.
The winner is the one who came up with the funniest phrase. Decided by unanimous vote.
There was the ABC - it was up to the poetry!
“Tell me what’s in the package!”
If there are people at the table who can write poetry (the level of poetry, of course, will be taken into account, but the main thing here is different), then offer the next competition.
Several poetry masters are given an object, which is packed in an opaque fabric box-bag. They should quietly look at what they got and write a poem about the item. Guests listen and guess.
Important! You cannot name what is hidden, you can only poetically describe its purpose, appearance...
The writer of the longest and most original piece wins.
Everyone loves fairy tales!
"Modern fairy tale"
Equipment: sheets of paper, pens.
The players are divided into two teams. Usually they are divided according to the “we sit next to each other” principle. Each chooses (option: the driver assigns) a profession. For example, cooks and truck drivers.
After 5-7 minutes of preparation, the teams must voice any fairy tale they have chosen (option assigned by the leader) in a modern way, using professional vocabulary and terminology.
For example, the fairy tale of a brave cook begins with the words: “Once upon a time my grandmother had a piece of ham worth two and a half kilos...” We advise the program creator to come up with starting phrases in advance for the different professions of the participants.
Everyone has fun! The winning team receives a prize: sweets, a bottle of champagne for everyone...
Try this too! It is not teams who play, but individual participants. Then more time is given for preparation, and it will be easier for the guests to select the winner.
Everyone’s favorite since childhood, “Broken Phone”
Here, the more people, the better.
The driver (or the first person sitting) thinks of a word (phrase), writes it on a piece of paper (for the purity of the experiment!))) and passes it along the chain, whispering in each other’s ears.
Everyone remembers that you need to whisper quietly and as close as possible to what you heard. The latter speaks the word out loud.
The funny thing begins at the moment when, if there is a mismatch between the input and output, a “showdown” begins - at what stage, for whom what went wrong.
Robot YES-NO
The host prepares cards with the names of the animals in advance and announces that the guests will guess them by asking any questions that he can answer only with the words YES-NO (in extreme cases, “I can’t say”).
The game continues until the animal is guessed and the presenter shows a card with the correct answer.
Questions can be about hair (short or long), about legs, about whether there is a tail (fluffy or smooth), about claws, a neck, about what it eats, where it sleeps, and so on.
Game option! It is not the animal that is being riddled, but the object. Then the questions will be about size, color, appearance, purpose, presence in the house or on the street, ability to pick it up, presence of numbers, presence of electricity in it...
Another version of the game is frivolous. You can wish for items from men's or women's wardrobes, underwear, or for the most daring, from the assortment of adult stores.
Competitions with paper
And here’s another game where the funniest thing is the mismatch.
Chipmunk Speaker
Props:
- nuts (or orange, or bread),
- paper,
- pen.
Those sitting at the table are divided into pairs: “speaker” and “stenographer”.
The “speaker” puts nuts (orange slices, a piece of bread) behind his cheeks so that it is difficult to speak. He is given a text (poetry or prose), which he needs to pronounce as clearly as possible (as far as the contents of the “cheek pouches” allow). The “stenographer” is trying to write down, as he understands, what he heard. Then they compare it with the “source”.
The winner is the couple whose “transcript” is the most correct.
Option! One “speaker” is selected, and everyone is recorded.
"Explain in 30 seconds"
- pens/pencils according to the number of players,
- small pieces of paper
- box/bag/hat.
We play like this:
- Guests are divided into pairs. It can be by lot, it can be at will, it can be next door at the table. Each pair is a team.
- Players receive pens/pencils and pieces of paper (each has several of them - 15-20).
- Everyone writes 15-20 (discuss this in advance with the players) of any nouns that come to mind: on one piece of paper - one noun.
- Leaves with words are hidden in a box/bag/hat.
- First, the first pair-team plays: they take turns taking out sheets of words and must explain to each other the word that they came across, but in no case naming the noun itself.
For example, the word “cart” is a horse-drawn carriage, “frying pan” is a pancake maker.
After the first word is guessed, you can take out a piece of paper with another.
You have 30 seconds to do everything. You can agree on a minute - depending on the state of the company)))
The number of words a team guesses is how many points it will receive.
Then the turn passes to the other pair of players.
The time limit makes this competition spectacular, loud, noisy and fun!
The team that guesses the most words wins.
Fun table competitions with answers
Prepare: a box containing pieces of paper with various questions written on it.
Attention! In winter they can be made in the form of snowflakes, in summer in the form of apples, in autumn in the form of colored leaves, in spring they can be flowers.
We play like this:
Everyone takes turns pulling out paper pieces of paper with questions and answering them not only as truthfully as possible, but also funny.
Questions could be:

Questions for the story can be very different, taking into account the degree of frankness of the company.
The winner is the one whose story pleases the most guests.
Are you asking? I answer!
Let's prepare:
- cards with questions,
- answer cards,
- 2 boxes.
We play like this.
One box contains questions, the other contains answers.
The players sit down, if possible, alternating: man-woman-man-woman... This will make the answers more interesting!
The first player takes out a card with a question and reads it aloud to his neighbor at the table.
He takes, without looking into the box, the sheet with the answer and also reads it out.
Sometimes the question-answer coincidences are very funny)))

Two truths and a lie
This fun competition at the table for an adult company does not require any preparation. Best suited for a company where the participants do not know each other very well.
Each player must say three statements or facts about themselves. Two true, one false. Listeners vote to decide which one is false. If they guess correctly, the player (the liar) wins nothing. If you guess wrong, you receive a small prize.
Variant of this: everyone writes down their statements on pieces of paper, marking the false ones, give them to the presenter (the host of the party), and he reads them out in turn.
One more?
Several competitions for a drinking group that wants to become even more drunk.
Find the crocodile
This game can be played during other games, as an additional one. It essentially lasts the whole evening, but at the very beginning you need to tell the guests its rules.
At some point in the party, the host secretly gives one of the guests (the “hunter”) a clothespin (crocodile) and he must attach it discreetly to the clothes of a “victim” he has arbitrarily chosen (or put it in a lady’s purse or a man’s jacket pocket). Then he gives a sign to the leader that the task is completed.
As soon as the clothespin has found a new owner, the presenter says, “The crocodile has escaped!” Who did he get into? and starts counting out loud from 10 to one. Guests are looking to see if they are the target of a prank.
If, within 10 seconds of the countdown, the “victim” finds a lurking “crocodile hidden in a bag or clinging to his collar,” the “hunter” drinks the penalty glass. If he doesn’t find it, the “victim” must drink.
You can limit the search area (the crocodile only clings to clothing) or give it more time.
Drinking alphabet chain
To conduct the competition you need: glasses with your favorite drinks, memory for names and knowledge of the alphabet.
The game goes in circles. The first player names the celebrity's first and last name. The next person must also name a celebrity whose name begins with the first letter of the previous one.
To make it clearer, look at the example:
The first player makes a wish for Cameron Diaz. The second by Dmitry Kharatyan. Third Hugh Grant. The fourth is by Georgy Vitsin. And so on.
You can name any famous people, politicians, actors, athletes. A player who cannot find the correct name within 5 seconds (approximately) must drink his glass. Then the glass is filled, and the turn passes to the next player.
The longer the game lasts, the more difficult it is to select new names (you cannot repeat yourself), the fun and company are rapidly gaining degrees.
Insert your two cents
The organizer of the competition needs to prepare sheets with phrases that are far from the theme of the feast or birthday. Give each guest a card with a phrase at the very beginning of the party.
Phrases could be:
The task of each participant is to insert “their” phrase into the conversation so that others do not understand that this is a phrase from a piece of paper. After the player has said his phrase, he needs to wait a minute, after which he says “Win!!!” During this time, any other guest who, during the conversation, suspects that a phrase from the sheet was uttered can try to incriminate the player. He must repeat the phrase that he thinks was used. Of course, there is a chance that he will not guess correctly.
If the accuser makes a mistake, he drinks a “penalty glass.” If you guess correctly, then a penalty kick is awarded to the person who was caught using the phrase from the sheet.
Guess the brand
If the company name is included in the slogan, then you can shorten it. For example: Who goes where, and I (to Sberkassa). This slogan is included in the retro section of our list. In a young company, you can at least invite guests to guess whose advertising slogan it might be. You can come up with hints or several possible answers.
For example: Who goes where, and I... (at VDNKh, to Moskvoshway, to get married, to Sberbank).
Find your soul mate
If the company is about half women and men, then you can play this game. Although, it will fit, with some degree of conditionality, in other cases.
To do this, you need to prepare small cards in advance on which to write the names of famous couples. One name per card. For example:
- Romeo and Juliet;
- Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin;
- Dolphin and mermaid;
- Twix stick and Twix stick;
- Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt...
Each guest receives a card with a name - this is his “image”.
Task: everyone must find their soul mate by asking the other guests in turn questions that can only be answered “yes” or “no.” Direct questions like “Is your name Angelina?” or “are you Brad’s wife”? prohibited. Questions like “Do you have children with your significant other?” are allowed; “Are you and your significant other married?”; “Do you and your significant other live in...?”
Those who find their soul mate by asking the minimum number of questions win. The more cards of pairs you prepare, the better. Since only half of the guests will play in the first round (when they find their soul mate, they are deprived of the opportunity to look for theirs). Therefore, after the first round, new cards are dealt and the second round begins.
Option: in the first circle they are looking for a woman's soul mate, in the second - men.
Do you have..?
This game is suitable for a large company and for celebrating a variety of holidays.
The company is divided into two teams with an equal number of participants. We must try to have the same number of women in each.
The presenter, starting with the words “Do you have...?”, reads out the list of things you are looking for. Members of each team need to find this thing and show it to the leader.
Team members search in pockets and purses, those who find them show the item they are looking for, the team receives a point for each item found. For one named item, the team gets only one point (no matter how many five thousand dollar bills the team members have, the team can only get one point for the item with the bill).
So, do you have...?
- 5000 ruble banknote;
- Notebook;
- photo of the child;
- mint chewing gum;
- candy;
- pencil;
- keychain with at least 7 keys;
- penknife;
- 7 (or 5) credit cards per person;
- small change in the amount of at least 95 rubles (for one person);
- hand cream;
- flash drive;
- nail polish;
- shoe sponge...
The list of things can be supplemented at will.
Play and have fun with your guests at the festive table!
Don’t forget that each competition can be creatively reworked to suit your company.
Let your friends remember this day not only for the most delicious dishes, but also for the funniest and coolest competitions.
Eat! Drink! And don't be bored!
A person celebrates his birthday every year, and if the holiday is accompanied by one feast with alcohol, it becomes monotonous, and guests will get bored of attending such holidays. The generosity of the table is usually quickly forgotten, but competitions and birthday greetings at the table, which lift the atmosphere, are remembered for a long time. That is why people have been coming up with new table entertainment for a long time in order to prevent the assembled company from becoming sad, and at the same time to force them to use their brains once again.
Emergency
This very funny game does not require any special props and is a lot of fun. All its participants need to be divided into pairs and given to each one a piece of paper and a pencil. On a piece of paper you need to write any noun that denotes a real object. It is advisable to have 10-20 such words. Then the folded pieces of paper need to be collected in a box or bag.
Then the first pair comes into play. One of its participants takes a piece of paper out of the bag, reads the word to himself and tries to describe this object to his partner, of course, without naming it. As soon as your partner guesses what the word is, you can move on to the next one. Each pair is given a limited time (20-30 seconds) to solve the riddle, after which the bag is passed on to the next pair. In this short time you need to guess as many words as possible to become a winner. Therefore, in a hurry, everyone begins to actively gesticulate, jabber, and stammer, which is why such fun table competitions cause a storm of joyful emotions among those around them.
Supertoast
Birthdays are incomplete without toasts and congratulations. However, not everyone knows how or even likes to pronounce them, so often these congratulations are limited to the usual “happiness and health.” To receive a more magnificent and non-standard congratulation, toasts must be pronounced according to the agreed rules. For example:
- Associate toast with food. For example, “Let your life be in chocolate!”
- Choose a thematic style for congratulations (depending on the nature of the gathered company) - mysterious, mystical, in the style of criminal jargon.
- Tie the toast to the animals. For example, “Be as beautiful as a butterfly!”
- Make a toast in a foreign language, or pretend to be a foreigner.
- Come up with a poetic congratulation on the fly.
- Combine a random set of words into a toast.
There can be much more tasks; they need to be written on pieces of paper and distributed to guests. Such congratulatory competitions at the table will certainly please and amuse the birthday boy.
Story
In front of the participants in the game you need to put pieces of paper on which the letters of the alphabet are written. The first participant chooses a piece of paper, and everyone else must come up with one word for this letter, so that they get a more or less connected story. There is a very wide field for the manifestation of imagination; the more there is, the more fun the stories will be.
A Tale with Missing Words
The host must come up with a story in advance in which the guests of the holiday participate. However, it is missing some words that players must come up with. Each participant in turn offers his word, depending on the text, these can be different parts of speech. It is possible and even desirable to use the funniest and most absurd epithets, give free rein to your imagination, even such funny table competitions for a girl’s birthday are quite appropriate.
You need to put a lot of pieces of paper in a box with all sorts of questions written on them. Next, the participants in the game take turns taking out pieces of paper with questions from the box and try to answer them not only truthfully, but also with a bit of humor. You can come up with a wide variety of questions and on the most unexpected topics, limited only by the degree of homogeneity of the company. The winners in this fun competition at the birthday table are those participants whose story turned out to be the most interesting and earned the approval of the entire company.
The questions can be very different, for example:
- What's the funniest purchase you've ever made?
- What was your favorite toy as a child?
- What's the funniest prank you can remember?
- What funny situations have you been in?
- What was your most memorable vacation?
- What's the funniest thing that happened to you in childhood that you remember?
- If you have an animal at home, what funny incident can you remember (what did it eat)?
- Have your New Year's wishes ever come true?
- Do you love your housemates and why?
- What is the most memorable incident that happened to you in the hospital/at the dacha/at work/at school?
- What did you dream about as a child and did it come true?
- Do you love your mother-in-law/father-in-law/mother-in-law/father-in-law and why?
Tentacle forks
The essence of this entertainment is very simple - you need to blindly guess the object. Such cool table competitions will certainly cause special excitement among the guests present. One of them is blindfolded and given a fork in his hand. In the allotted time, he must, without touching anything with his hands, but only with forks, identify as many objects as possible.
To carry out this fun, you need to first prepare a few simple household items:
- pencils;
- toothbrushes;
- combs;
- fruits;
- candies, etc.
The player is allowed to help - he can ask leading questions like “Is this a hygiene item?”, “Is it edible?”, “Is it made of glass?”, which will help him figure out the answer. But the answers of others should be monosyllabic: “Yes” and “No.” The one who guesses the most items within the allotted time becomes the winner. The special beauty of this fun is that you can hold similar birthday competitions while sitting at the table.
Question answer
The meaning of the game is clearly visible from its name; both questions and answers are written on cards, which are stacked face down in two piles. One player takes a question from a pile and chooses an opponent, who draws an answer from another pile, while both read the contents of their cards out loud (the host must think in advance what will be written on them).
Such funny table competitions for young people's birthdays will help you find out a lot of unexpected things: in what unexpected places does she hide sandwiches or why does he, sitting naked in the garden, howl at the moon.
Mystery ball
Funny table competitions for adults' birthdays can be associated with the manifestation of erudition. For this fun you will need short riddles written on paper, foil and a small souvenir. The gift must be wrapped in a layer of foil, to which the first riddle must be attached with tape. Then comes the next layer of foil and a new riddle, and so on. You need to make at least 6-7 such layers with riddles. The most difficult riddles should be located closer to the center, and easier ones outside.
One of the participants reads the first riddle, and the one who solves it first removes a layer of foil and reads the next riddle. The one who solves the last and most difficult riddle becomes the winner. Such competitions for a feast can be very entertaining.
Noun and adjective
This competition is similar to the previous one. The last participant thinks of a word and reports what kind it is. The next participants take turns offering their epithets in the form of adjectives, and at the end of the game, the “author” of the word pronounces it out loud. Therefore, his “cutlet” can become charming, glassy, grumpy, mysterious and even sexy. These funny table competitions for teenagers' birthdays are quite lively, and the participants constantly change places so that everyone can come up with their own noun.
In my pants...
The meaning of this fun should remain a secret until the last. Each participant in the feast tells his neighbor on the left the name of a famous film or cartoon. He must remember this name, and pass on another name to the next one, and so on in a circle. Then the presenter asks everyone to first say the beginning of the phrase “In my pants...”, and then complete it with the name of the film transmitted by the neighbor. So it may turn out that someone has “Ivan Vasilyevich changing his profession in his pants,” another has “hello, I’m your aunt in his pants,” and a third has “my affectionate and gentle animal in his pants.”
My mouth is full of worries
This fun homemade tabletop competition will require small toffees or caramels. Participants in the fun put sweets in their mouths and try to say “Congratulations, happy birthday!”, after which they put the next candy in their mouths and repeat the same phrase. The winner is the one whose phrase remains recognizable with the most candies in his mouth.
Who am I?
In this entertainment, each participant in the feast has a piece of paper taped to his forehead with any noun (animate or inanimate object) written on it. The easiest way is to limit yourself to famous personalities, movie or cartoon characters. Everyone sitting at the table can see all the words on the foreheads of the game participants, except their own.
All players take turns asking their neighbor leading questions: “Am I a man?”, “Am I a pastry chef?”, to which they receive monosyllabic answers “yes” and “no”. The one who guesses his word first becomes the winner. And the one who guesses incorrectly either receives a comic punishment or is eliminated from the game. If the answers are not given to the participants, then you can make a relaxation - answer in more detail, but without explicitly naming the object.
Guess who I am by my features
All guests invited to the birthday party can participate in this game. The presenter gives each of them a piece of paper and a pencil, and they must write there their distinctive feature that catches the eye: a mole on the nose, a clear character trait, the color of clothing, etc., by which this person could be distinguished from the crowd. Then all the leaves are rolled up and placed in a box.
The presenter approaches the birthday person with a box, he takes out a note from there and tries to identify the guest based on the description on it. Those should not give themselves away in any way until the birthday boy “figures them out.” But the “exposed” guests can join the hero of the occasion to look for the next guests by their signs. Such entertaining competitions usually bring the team together well.
Words in sentences
Anyone can participate in this competition. The presenter pronounces three words that are not connected by a single meaning, and the participants in the game must compose a meaningful phrase from them. In this case, words can be declined. For example, the following words may be suggested: “lipstick”, “bear” and “name day”. And you can suggest the following phrase: “On the bear’s name day, the guests smeared him with red lipstick” or “The bear was returning from the name day and forgot to wipe the lipstick off his cheek - the bear will be happy!” At the end of the competition, the presenter will choose the most successful proposal, the author of which will become the winner of the competition.
Broken phone
When choosing cool birthday contests at the table, you can’t go past the classic and well-known “damaged phone”. The more people participate in it, the funnier and more unexpected the result is. The first participant comes up with a phrase and writes it down on paper (documentary evidence), after which he whispers this phrase in his neighbor’s ear. You need to whisper it quietly so that the neighbors do not hear. He passes on what he heard to the next participant, who passes on further, and so on along the chain. The last one on the “telephone line” says out loud what he heard. This is usually very different from the original phrase. Then the fun part begins - a showdown about who and when heard something wrong and passed it on.
Robot "Yes-No"
Before the game, you need to prepare cards on which the names of different animals are written. Those present at the celebration must, using leading questions, determine these names. But the answers can only be monosyllabic “yes” and “no”, and only as a last resort – “I can’t say.” As soon as the name of the animal is guessed, the presenter presents a card with the correct word.
Common questions in this topic concern fur, paws, the presence of a tail, claws, diet, etc. Instead of the names of animals, you can use the names of inanimate objects, then the leading questions will also change. If fun table competitions are held at a man’s birthday in a men’s group, then frivolous themes with items of underwear are also possible, and in the wildest companies – with goods from sex shops.
Find the crocodile
When small competitions are used at the table, this one can be added to their number. Before the game starts, you need to introduce everyone to its rules, and it can continue throughout the evening, alternating with other fun. At the height of the party, the host secretly hands over to the “hunter” - one of the guests - a “crocodile” (clothespin), who must discreetly attach it to the outfit of a “victim” he has chosen at random (a man can put it in his pocket, and a woman can put it in her purse). He also quietly notifies the host that the job is done. After this, the presenter loudly announces: “The crocodile has escaped! Where did he go? and then begins to count out loud to 10. At this time, all the guests are feverishly examining themselves - have I become the subject of a joke? If during the countdown the “victim” finds the “crocodile” hidden on it, then the hunter is poured a “penalty” glass, otherwise the “victim” will have to drink.
Drinking alphabet chain
When adult birthday contests involve the presence and drinking of alcohol, they become even more desirable. Therefore, for this competition you need to prepare glasses with alcoholic drinks, and all participants will be required to know the alphabet and have a good memory for names.
The first player in the circle names the name of the celebrity, the second must remember the celebrity whose name begins with the first letter of the name of the named person, and so on. In the game you can use the names of celebrities from any sphere of life: actors, politicians, athletes. Anyone who cannot remember a suitable name in time (for example, in 5 seconds) must drink a glass of alcohol. The turn passes to the next player, and the glass is filled again. Repetition is unacceptable, drinking puts pressure on the brain and bladder, so the game gradually becomes more and more fun. The main thing is not to overdo it!
Chipmunk Speaker
In addition to paper and pen, this game will require nuts, a pie or fruit. The guests sitting at the table should be divided into pairs, some of which will be “speakers”, and others will be “stenographers”. The speaker puts nuts, pieces of pie or fruit behind his cheeks, which makes it difficult for him to speak. He is armed with a poetic or prose text, which he must pronounce as clearly as possible for his condition. The stenographer must write down everything that he could hear from the speech. At the end, the “transcript” is compared with the source. The winner is the pair whose text is closest to the original. This birthday party competition at the table can be modified - leave one speaker, and everyone else will take shorthand.
Fanta
It’s hard to imagine comic competitions at the table without forfeits. There are many variants of this classic entertainment, but we will offer “forfeits on a schedule.” All participants are given numbers with corresponding tasks. For example, give different forfeits the task of making a toast in a certain manner:
- as an entertainer;
- like a man hopelessly in love;
- as a Caucasian guest;
- like a guest who has had too much to drink;
- someone will get to sing their toast.
During the feast, the host assigns a speech to the next forfeit, and he carries out his program - either according to a pre-prepared template, or with complete improvisation.
To the competitions for a teenager’s birthday at the table, you can add a similar fun game, which is good for a small friendly company. You will need to prepare cards in advance with memorable, bright images of cartoon characters, birds and animals. You will also need cards on which phrases are written containing the phrase “I look like...”, for example:
- When I wake up I'm like...
- At work I look like...
- Having a drink in company makes me look like...
- When my wife caught me near the refrigerator, I looked like...
- When my boss calls me unexpectedly, I become like...
- After a stormy night I look like...
- When I find out I got fired, I'll be like...
- When I eat, I go to...
You can make any number of such cards, but it is advisable to have at least 10-15 pieces. During the game, the guest blindly draws a card with a phrase written on it and reads it out loud. After that, he pulls out a card with a cartoon character or animal, which he shows as an answer to everyone present.
Are you asking? I answer!
Such original competitions at the birthday table can be a good way to “wind up” the team. To play, you will need two boxes - in one you need to put cards with questions, and in the second - with answers. It is advisable to seat the players alternately between men and women to make the answers more fun. The first participant takes out the first question and reads it out loud to his neighbor. He, without looking, pulls out the first answer he comes across from another box and also announces it. Sometimes pairs of questions and answers form very funny combinations. Depending on the size of the company, you can use, for example, the following questions:
Can you fool me right now?
Do you like to walk on the rooftops of your hometown?
Do you often wink at strangers on public transport?
Do you often get knocks on your door at night?
Is it true that your husband/wife likes to look at other people's women/men?

I was told it was good.
Only in good company.
I consider this a political issue.
Only when no one is looking.

Only in the morning.
It's quite simple.
Which of the table competitions did you like the most? Do you have any favorite table competitions? Tell us about it in the comments.
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 occasion- 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 toy known to everyone on 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.
