I’ll say right away that this collection of ideas is constantly being updated. As soon as I come across an interesting proposal from event organizers or a description of a bright summer corporate event on behalf of eyewitnesses, I immediately write it here.
I hope I will be able to save your time and help you quickly choose the appropriate option to adequately celebrate the “company’s birthday”, professional holiday, or simply pamper the team “for good work” in the off-season.
How and where to celebrate a summer corporate party
Picnic
option 1
Complete unity with nature. Clearings, logs, stumps. Folding grill, shish kebab, disposable tableware. And that’s the beauty of it :)
option 2
A wonderful place in nature that someone has already noticed before you. Beautiful gazebos with tables and benches, a large stable grill, a supply of firewood, and modern insect repellents. Most often, such places are located near lakes and reservoirs.
It should be noted that for both options you can easily find quite a lot of people willing to professionally prepare barbecue for you. They will come to your clearing, marinate the meat, and serve it in the best possible way :-).
A picnic in nature involves only casual communication with a hearty snack; there is no other entertainment.
Art parties where paintings are painted to Disco music and a glass of wine
I tried to fit the whole essence of such an event into the title. This is not just a master class in which each participant will paint a positive picture. The organizers tried to combine creativity with a full palette of bright emotions. It's fun, educational and very unusual.
You can spend such a holiday in a tent, outdoor cafe, restaurant, bar. Read more about. Choose one of 150 paintings or offer your own!
No drawing skills are needed; you take the finished masterpiece home.
Summer concert and disco
We rent a summer playground and celebrate the company day in the fresh air. This could be a tent or awning in a beautiful corner of nature, a summer cafe with a stage, or even a roof on a high-rise building. What distinguishes the event from a picnic is the opportunity to wear an evening dress and heels. There will be a good floor, beautiful tables and chairs with covers.
The scope of the entertainment program is limited only by your imagination and budget, since such summer venues, as a rule, have excellent lighting and sound equipment (or the ability to use it), a wonderful restaurant with a varied menu, a stage and a place for dancing.
We eat and chat, watch shows, take part in competitions and dance. Great holiday!
Culinary duel
Exciting, fun and tasty. Each team will have a professional chef. He will not let you die of hunger, even if no one in your team knows how to cook. At a summer corporate party, you want to taste delicious grilled meat and vegetables, so choose “kebab” master classes.
Part of the time is spent on cooking, communication and elements of a culinary show from the organizers, then everything cooked can be eaten. Among the cooks there are charming jokers who will fill you with stories, anecdotes and comic toasts on any topic.
Sports and fitness program
Such an event takes place well at a recreation center with all the amenities, so you can safely create a program for two weekends. Even near Moscow you can find sites with real sea sand.
Many companies welcome the invitation of “other halves” and children. Naturally, in this case, a children's sports festival will be needed. For this there are trampolines, labyrinths, mini-autodromes and other attractions).
A sports summer corporate event takes place in the form of an all-around Olympics between teams or individual participants, or in the form of competitions in any sport:
- football
- volleyball
- basketball
- arm wrestling
- badminton
- table tennis
- golf
- billiards
But MOST OF ALL I like the organization of a turnkey corporate cycling tour in the parks and squares of Moscow or the nearest Moscow region. Here .
The Last Hero or Fort Boyard
I didn’t know what to call the event more correctly, since this is also a corporate event with a sports focus, but such sports do not exist. You need to overcome treacherous obstacles, follow a rope course, hang over an abyss and follow commands blindfolded. As a rule, competitions are selected for people with different physical fitness, so don’t worry: it will be interesting for everyone.
Paintball
A fun paint shooting game with special costumes and masks. I already have a lot of proposals from the organizers of such a summer corporate event in nature.
Equestrian Club with Cowboys and Indians
Stories about such holidays are always accompanied by an abundance of exclamations and delight. Equestrian clubs welcome office workers with interesting programs, bright costumes and a delicious dinner. I recommend not to spare money on a good photographer, as your pictures dressed as cowboys with pistols and Indians with bows and arrows will blow up social networks. A! There are also horses...
Theme parties
To be honest, such parties are no different from winter ones. Costumes, surroundings, entertainment, dishes and wines are chosen for a particular theme (I have a lot listed here). The main thing is to choose the right site. SUMMER.
For example, “Star Factory” on a rented ship... There will be no extra listeners, you can calmly enjoy the creativity of talented people from your team.
Or shooting a feature film with distribution of roles, rehearsals, makeup, takes, premiere with a red carpet.
Quest
A relatively new game that is gaining popularity incredibly quickly. An exciting historical, detective or fantasy plot in which roles are assigned to all employees of the company.
Conveniently, the script can be adapted for any number of employees. The price depends on the venue and decorations, the number of professional actors participating in your quest, and the cost of renting costumes.
You can conduct the quest in the ruins of medieval castles, the scenery of Mosfilm, in the forest, in a mansion, or just in a clearing near your office.
There are many enthusiastic comments, but only active employees like the game. If you just want to stand on the sidelines and wash the bones of your colleagues, nothing will happen.
You can check with the organizers where the adventurers will have lunch or dinner. .
Excursion with master class
A very interesting idea for a summer corporate party!
- Firstly, this is a trip to an attractive place in your city, a neighboring town or even another country;
- Secondly, a lot of educational information with sightseeing of the city;
- Third, these are the practical skills that you will gain during the master classes;
Creative activities can be arranged at any site - in a tent, an outdoor cafe, in a gazebo at a recreation center.
What kinds of visiting master classes are there:
- or other drinks (directly from the manufacturer on a visit or in a themed establishment)
- (painting objects in the traditions of the chosen area, making clay toys, glass beads, etc.)
- (loud and fun)
- culinary master classes (national cuisine)
- the most popular this summer -
I'm sure you now have some ideas to discuss!
As always, I offer my selfless help and advise you on interesting options for organizing a summer corporate event. Call!
A corporate outdoor event in the summer and competitions are practically everything you need for a successful and memorable event. Summer and fun will be the main companions of guests in maintaining a great mood throughout the celebration, and even after it, in the memories of employees in the midst of everyday work.
Competition "Rope"
Have you already tried barbecue and are you ready for serious physical challenges? Then this is the competition for you! The leader must prepare a ball (or something that can replace it) and a rope. Two players stand opposite each other and pull the rope at shoulder level. The remaining players line up in single file. The essence of the game is to walk under a tight rope, holding a ball between your knees. Leaning forward is not allowed (only backward). The one who does not keep his ball is eliminated from the game. Naturally, with each new circle the rope is lowered lower: you’re not looking for easy ways, are you? Believe me, the winner who doesn’t drop the ball until the last minute really deserves a prize as the most dexterous and flexible member of your team!
Competition "Cross the swamp"
The guests are divided into two teams. For the game, a special playing field is cleared: a platform 2-3 meters wide and 3-4 meters long. This will be our “swamp”. Each team receives two “bumps” (small cardboard circles that can fit one person’s legs). While moving the “bumps”, you need to cross the swamp and not lose your way. The team that crosses the swamp faster than their opponents will receive a prize!
Competition "Collect the Rain"
Have you ever taken part in catching raindrops? If not, then with this competition you will have such an opportunity. The presenter stands in the center of an impromptu circle and sprays water from a bottle around him - “rain”. The players' task is to catch as many raindrops as possible with plastic cups. And try not to get wet: rain is very tricky!
Competition "Potato"
Divide the participants into teams of 4-6 people and offer them a simple but fun competition: collect a bucket of potatoes. Naturally, you need to approach this important matter creatively, namely, put an empty bucket, walk away a few meters and try to fill it by throwing potatoes from this distance. So which team will be the most accurate?
Competition "Three Legs"
The guests are divided into pairs, and then in each pair the left leg of one player is tied to the right leg of the other. Voila! Now we have strange three-legged creatures whose task is to cover a given distance faster than their opponents. Be careful: for some reason, walking on three legs is much more difficult than walking on the usual two!
What is the best way to organize outdoor recreation?
Everyone has their own idea of what real outdoor recreation should be like. That’s why it’s so difficult to please everyone. When choosing entertainment for leisure, people often go down four paths.
The first way is a “card picnic”. The simplest and most effortless choice. All you need for such an organization is to take a deck of cards with you. And while the kebab is grilling, you can safely play fool, poker or another popular game. But such a tournament is also possible in a cozy room: you don’t have to go out into nature for this. And indoors, you don’t need to constantly press down the cards with something so that the sneaky wind doesn’t carry them away.
The second way is a “sports weekend”" This option is not as simple as the previous one and requires preliminary preparation. You will need to take care of sports equipment and a suitable place for active recreation in advance. Football, volleyball, badminton, relay races - this is a small list of what a large group can play. Such a vacation is certainly suitable for a company that loves sports and is in good physical shape.
The third way is “popular holiday”. Today, entertainment such as paintball and. It's interesting, exciting and convenient. It’s convenient because you don’t have to think through anything yourself. A couple of calls and companies that specialize in this will organize everything themselves. The only drawback of such a vacation, perhaps, is that you will have to spend a lot of money on it.
Path four – “competitive freedom”. The most accessible option for interesting and inexpensive leisure. There is no need for special conditions or complex equipment; both sports people and non-sports people can participate. All you need to organize is a healthy imagination and a set of interesting competitions. And here are some of the most interesting versions website
1. Hot and cold
A wonderful competition, familiar to everyone since childhood. But, it is clear that there are no children in the adult company, and therefore we are talking about its modified version. It is best to do it at the moment when the kebab is skewered and placed on the grill, and there is still a lot of time before it is ready. Then the host, who has prudently hidden all the alcohol nearby, suggests finding it according to the “hot and cold” principle. That is, when the players approach the treasured hiding place, they will receive verbal prompts “warm”, “even warmer”, “very warm”. But if the search takes them in a completely different direction, then the phrases “cold”, “colder”, “very cold”, “freezing” will be heard. When the participants directly reach the destination, they will hear the words “hot”, “hot”, “now you’ll get burned”, “burned”. The prize, of course, will be the drinks found, which can be consumed immediately.
2. Question and answer
A wonderful competition-game that will require very little preparation, but will provide a lot of positivity and good mood. This entertainment will be appropriate at a time when the participants loosen up a little. The essence of the game is quite fast: the presenter reads questions to the participants from one type of card, and the participants answer by reading the answer from other cards. The trick is that the questions and answers are deliberately chosen to be quite frank or maybe even vulgar.
Sample questions:
- Do you like phone sex?
- Have you been caught stealing?
- Do you like bald men (women)?
- Do you wash often?
- Do you love yourself?
- Can I kiss you?
- How often do you have sex?
- Do you have the strength to give up drinking?
- Are you a sadomasochist?
- Do you often walk naked (naked) around the house?
Sample answers:
- Unless no one sees.
- I'm holding on with all my strength.
- This is my weakness.
- Only in a bikini and stockings.
- Since childhood.
- Only with a bad hangover.
- This is the only thing that gives me strength.
- I learned (learned) from you.
- And I'm proud of it.
- I'm a maniac at this.
It is clear that the level of frankness of questions should be chosen depending on how well everyone in the company knows each other.
3. Twister on the grass
Twister is a wonderful game that is familiar to everyone. But hardly anyone thought that it could be played not only at home, but also on soft young grass. How is this possible? Yes, very simple. To do this, you don’t even need to bring a ready-made playing field; it can be made right on the spot. To make it you will need grass and spray paint of the desired colors. It is applied to the grass through a round stencil and allowed to dry. And now everything is ready for a fun and playful game.
Such entertainment will help disperse alcohol and prevent you from getting too drunk. But the most important thing is that all participants will receive a sea of positive emotions and piquant photos.
4. Tricky food
There is no need to prepare anything in advance. You will have all the necessary equipment with you. Disposable cups and plastic bottles will be used, as well as various snacks that you will take with you on a picnic (chips, crackers, nuts, popcorn).
The competition can be conducted in two ways. In the first case, competitors must pour salted nuts or toast into a plastic bottle using only one hand. For obvious reasons, you cannot spill the snack, and asking for help from those present is also prohibited. The one who completes the task earlier and better than the rest is declared the winner.
The second version of the competition is almost impossible, but very funny. Here chips or salted popcorn are poured into plastic cups. This unusual weight is placed on the toes of the participating shoes. The goal of the competition is to walk a distance of 3 m with cups, at the end of which there will be a glass of beer, which you need to drink and snack on the delicious food you brought. However, holding cups with your hands or attaching them to shoes or feet in any special way is prohibited.
The winner of the competition is the one who completes all stages first and without losses. If no one completes the task, then the consolation prize will again be beer and a snack. Fun and excitement are guaranteed here.
5. Delivery service
At the beginning of the competition, the presenter says that today there is a competition for the best and fastest delivery service. To do this, everyone present is invited to unite into two or more teams (depending on the total number). Teams line up parallel to each other. At the same time, team members must look at each other’s backs.
Next, the presenter says that today each team needs to deliver only one bottle of beer, passing it from the last participant to the first. But at the same time, you cannot touch the bottle with your hands, but you can only pass it by holding it between your knees.
The winner will be the team that completes the task faster than its rivals without dropping the load. The winners will receive all bottles of beer that took part in the competition. It is better to take 1 liter or 1.5 liter plastic containers for entertainment.
6. Playful hands
The competition will go well in a well-warmed-up company. Only men are invited to take part in it, who must stand in pairs with their backs to each other. After this, each of them is given specially prepared equipment (sticks with red-painted tops and pieces of sandpaper).
After everyone has taken the required positions and received game attributes, the presenter gives a signal warning about the start of the competition. And at this moment the participants must quickly remove the red paint with the provided skins.
The winner is the one whose hands turn out to be more “naughty”, that is, the one who manages it first. Laughter with tears in our eyes will be guaranteed for everyone.
7. Twelve notes
Becoming a treasure hunter is interesting not only as a child, but also as an adult. The “12 Notes” competition is a kind of quest that will allow you to plunge into an indescribable atmosphere of adventure and excitement.
The point of the game is to find the hidden treasure. And if in childhood sweets acted as treasures, then for adults a box of beer, a dish with crayfish or fruit is more suitable. But in order to find what was hidden, you need to go through a certain path, directions to which are found in 12 notes. 6 notes will simply indicate the location of the next note, and the remaining 6 will indicate different tasks.
You can come up with tasks yourself, or you can use ready-made options.
Task 1. “Nude” - you need to dance a striptease.
Task 2. “Are you weak?” - drink 1 liter of beer in 1 minute.
Task 3. “Armenian Radio” - tell 6 funny jokes.
Task 4. “Gourmet” - with your eyes closed, guess 6 proposed foods or drinks.
Task 5. “Balloon Hero” - burst 6 balloons without using your hands.
Task 6. “Who is the wisest in the world” - guess 6 riddles with a trick.
8. Silent system
A cheerful company will definitely like the game “Mute System”. It would be a good idea to film the progress of the game on a video camera, so that later the participants could watch the recording and laugh.
The essence of the game is that all participants line up in one row, and the leader, passing behind them, slaps them on the back a different number of times. How many claps there were - this is the participant’s serial number. At the command of the leader, when everyone has already been assigned numbers, the participants must line up in one order in order, but at the same time talking or gesturing with their hands is strictly prohibited.
The catch is that the presenter can clap the same number of times to several participants at once, which means that the formation will be not just one, but several at once. Only the participants mooing and winking at each other do not immediately understand this, and therefore all their manipulations are very funny to watch.
9. Universal quest for outdoor recreation
If you don’t have enough time to prepare, but you want to entertain your friends and family with something more than just a competition or a game, a quest will be an excellent solution.
12 ready-made various tasks will help you spend an hour and a half with fun and excitement. See more details here.

More games and competitions in nature for adults.
Summer is vacation time, and no one wants to work in a stuffy office. A corporate event in nature will help you relax, unwind, and socialize in an informal setting. How to hold a corporate event in nature in a fun and useful way? The easiest way is to order the organization of the event from special agencies. However, if you are reading this article, it means you intend to do it on your own. First of all, you need to assemble an organizing committee and distribute responsibilities:
- who is responsible for collecting money;
- who buys the products;
- who will cook;
- who will deal with transport issues;
- who organizes the cultural program.
A summer corporate party is not just about eating barbecue. As a rule, a picnic lasts all day long, and there is more than enough time for fun contests and competitions. In addition to football, badminton and volleyball (don’t forget the appropriate equipment!), where “boys against girls” or department against department will play, you can organize a whole quest in the forest with a treasure hunt and Cossack robbers. But it’s better to talk about everything in order, and you need to start preparing a cultural program with the scenario of a corporate event in nature.
Summer corporate event scenario
Arrival and accommodation
A traditional competition for the best find is held immediately upon arrival at the site. What interesting things can you find in the forest:
- a bouquet of flowers - beautiful;
- a thick log for a fire is a valuable thing;
- berries - delicious;
- cones - as a keepsake;
- a comfortable stick - to confidently walk through life.
When all the trophies have been collected, the winner is announced and the main prize is awarded, symbolic souvenirs are awarded for 2nd and 3rd place, and all other participants receive pre-prepared medal chips, which are taken into account when summing up the results of the holiday.
Greeting
The presenter dedicates the competition to his native company and invites his colleagues to compose an ode or toast in honor of his native team and enterprise. Throughout the holiday, everyone reads their odes and makes toasts, receiving medals for them. The best authors are chosen by the audience at the end of the competition. They are awarded prizes.
Find the treasure
After familiarizing yourself with the territory, you can arrange a search for prizes. You can bury the treasure in the ground or hide it on the territory - in a car, in some things. On colored cardboard they draw a map of the clearing indicating the place where the treasure is hidden. The map must be cut into 10-12 parts and distributed in the clearing, and there is no need to hide them. It is enough to attach it to a tree branch or the participant’s clothing. One part is given to treasure hunters with the task of collecting the entire map. When all (or most) of the puzzle pieces are collected, everyone goes looking for the prize. The more effort spent on the search, the more expensive the victory will be. The finder takes the treasure, and the rest of the participants receive medals.
Game of crocodiles
For the Limpopo River you will need two ropes of 3 - 4 m each. They are stretched on the ground in parallel, at a distance of 1.5 m - 2 m from each other. The fastest one, preferably a man, is appointed as a crocodile, all other participants are researchers. Brave scientists cross the river, trying not to fall into the mouth of a crocodile. If a crocodile hooks a researcher, he automatically joins the team of crocodiles and joins the hunt for the “researchers.” All the crocodiles hold hands and do not leave the river. The last “researcher” who was not caught by the crocodiles wins. He receives a prize, the rest of the participants receive medals.
Competition "Kangaroo Racing"
For entertainment, they use the same two ropes and balloons according to the number of participants. One rope marks the starting line, the other the finishing line. Participants line up at the start with balls held between their knees. At the command of the leader, the kangaroos begin to jump with the balls towards the finish line. If the ball falls, the participant stops, picks up the ball, presses it with his knees and jumps further; if it bursts, the kangaroo is eliminated from the game. The one who is the first to make a circle, returning again to the starting position unharmed, wins and receives a prize; the rest are awarded medals.
Buffet break
The host of an outdoor corporate party announces a break and makes a toast: There are 4 degrees of intoxication, each of which is named after an animal that a person in this state resembles:
- degree - the level of the peacock, because man is at the beginning and arrogant, like this important bird;
- degree - the level of a monkey - a person is relaxed, jokes and plays tricks - life is good!
- degree and all the following - the levels of the ferocious lion and pig are not at all attractive.
So let’s drink so that we can reach the second stage as quickly as possible, and always stay there!
Kebab quiz
At the “table” you can hold a quiz to whet your appetite. The most erudite participant will receive a prize, the rest will receive medals.
Sample Quiz Questions
- For which countries is kebab a national dish? (Caucasus)
- An indispensable condition for preparing delicious shish kebab (friendly company).
- The most serious threat associated with kebab (“I’ll make a kebab out of you”).
- What movie is this phrase from: “Kebab does not tolerate women’s hands.”
- Name a weekend outing in the country where people often have a barbecue (Picnic).
- Is shish kebab considered the first or second course? (The only one).
- Which kebab ends faster - on long skewers or short ones? (Delicious).
- Where did one of the heroes of “Operation Y” eat shish kebab?
- What meat is best for barbecue? (Fresh, not defrosted pork neck or lamb loin).
- What drink goes best with shish kebab? (Dry red wine).
The second part of the competition program
Competition "Pantomime"
Team game. First you need to decide on the concepts that will be guessed. These can be individual words, fairy tales, phrases from songs, names and images of famous people, popular expressions. See photos of the cooperative in nature and be inspired by new ideas.
As a type of pantomime, you can play a game similar to a broken telephone. Participants line up in a column, the last player turns his back to everyone and the leader approaches him. He shows him and the audience a card with a word or phrase written on it. The first participant, seeing the inscription, nods and turns to his neighbor, clapping him on the shoulder. Without words, he explains to him the information on the card. When the game reaches the last participant, the leader begins the survey from the end. As a result, he shows everyone the correct answer and gives out medals for participation.
The Tale of the Three Little Pigs
Presenter: “After such a mentally intense competition, let’s show that not only smart people have gathered here. But also creative people. For the play of the same name, it is necessary to select actors for the roles of the three little pigs. The play is for adults, but first, a joke: Once upon a time there were three little pigs - Naf-Naf, Nuf-Nuf and Nif-Nif. But there was also a fourth in our fairy tale, who was not afraid of anyone, did not hide from the wolf and did not build houses. He walked through the forest and sent everyone away. And his name was Nah-Nah. In today’s performance, Naf-Naf will be an intellectual, Nuf-Nuf will be an athlete, and Nif-Nif will be a musically gifted person.”
Casting participants are divided into three people for each role. For the role of Nuf-Nuf, they choose the candidate who jumps the farthest or can jump rope the longest. For the role of Nif-Nif, participants compete in playing the song “We are not afraid of the gray wolf” on the pipe. For candidates for the role of Naf-Naf, you need to come up with some kind of question (quite complex) and answer options. Here are examples of such questions:
What does the French culinary term "grill" mean?
- burn;
- fry;
- bake.
In the Agatha Christie series, Hercule Poirot says about a certain dish: “How can I eat them if they are so different sizes?!” What is this:
- about quails;
- about kebabs;
- about eggs.
Competition "Eloquence"
A break is announced for new toasts and after a break for the buffet table, the competition program continues again. At the table you can hold an “Eloquence” competition. The presenter announces a topic, for example, “a corporate party in nature is ...” and everyone in turn is supplemented with different concepts: a corporate party in nature - in the summer, with barbecue, a trip to nature. For each new answer there is a medal, and the prize is given to the last participant who added an as yet unnamed definition of corporate event.
"Accurate shooter"
For the competition we need to collect more cones. Divide the participants into teams and use ropes to mark two goals. Each shooter is given three cones. They take turns trying to hit the target. For an accurate hit, the player receives a medal. The winning team receives souvenirs - prizes of the same type.
"The Lame Pirate"
Two pairs of players participate. Each couple has one leg tied with a rope (one’s left and the other’s right). The distance that the lame pirates must travel is determined. The first couple to hobble receives prizes, the rest receive medals.
"Bring it to me"
All volunteers are divided into three teams with the same number of participants. The captains are given lists of things that the team must collect and bring in 5 minutes. Here is a sample list:
- 10 kopecks;
- comb;
- stone;
- trouser belt;
- something wet;
- any thing yellow;
- something to write with;
- flower;
- tree bark;
- knife
The team that collected the list faster or more accurately receives one type of prize, the rest of the participants receive medals.
Competition “How we held a corporate event”
All those present are divided into several teams. The presenter announces the task: write a story “How we held a corporate party in nature.” But the description should be concise, schematic, without epithets. Then the teams take turns telling each other words - adjectives that must be inserted into their text. The team with the wittiest story wins. The winners are awarded prizes, the rest - medals.
The general results of the cooperative's outdoor competition program are summed up. The three participants who collect the maximum number of medals receive prizes for first, second and third place, respectively.
You can coincide with the corporate event by presenting certificates, thanks, as well as gifts to those colleagues who were responsible for kebabs, fish baked in coals, and spit-roasted turkey.
And in various competitions for corporate events.
Greetings.
At the beginning of the evening, it is necessary to greet everyone, joke, talk, cheer up the participants, offer entertainment that will unite and amuse the team.
For example:
Entertainment "I have...". Participants stand in a circle, the leader says, “I have hands,” and each participant takes the hand of his neighbor standing next to him and makes a circle to the music. Then the leader says, “My ears are eating,” the participant takes the neighbor by the ear, and the circle moves until it makes a full revolution. So the presenter lists different parts of the body, the participants take hold of each other and move in a circle, without breaking away from the part of the body they are holding, and chant “I have...”.
The number of listings of body parts is limited by the imagination of the presenter and the degree of relaxation of the participants; you can limit yourself to arms, legs, ears, or you can introduce body parts such as the waist, nose, chest, buttock into the game.
Competition "Best Dancing Couple".
It is held when the audience is already sufficiently warmed up and relaxed, and the couple is selected that danced best to the music and saved the ball. To perform, balloons are required, they are tied to the legs of the partners; during the dance, it is necessary to burst the balloons of the partners of other participants with their feet and at the same time try to make sure that the balloon of your own partner does not burst. The pair with the ball that lasts the longest wins.
For special interest and fun, it is necessary to instruct the participants to follow the music and dance according to it; for this purpose, a selection of music of the most different rhythm and direction is made.
Ice dance
Couples stand on the newspaper; they must dance carefully so as not to step on the edges of the newspaper. At the presenter’s signal, the newspaper is folded in half and the couples continue to dance. The music also changes in rhythm and direction. Couples who go beyond the newspaper are eliminated from the competition; whoever remains is the winner.
The most original dance
Participants dance to music that is constantly changing, their dance must correspond to the music and at the same time be original and beautiful, the audience evaluates it, and the winner is selected by the number of applause, who is awarded a prize.
Auction “Pig in a poke”
The auction in such scenarios of corporate events is held “in the dark.” The presenter does not show the lots; it is better to pack them in paper or put them in a large box so that there is no idea what is being put up for auction. Participants trade on a description that must be prepared by the presenter. For special interest in the competition, ordinary things are taken and funny, humorous descriptions are invented for them. The auction is held for money and therefore the cost of the lots is purely symbolic, the one who named the highest amount takes the lot, the presenter unfolds it to satisfy the curiosity of everyone around. To spark interest, you can take simple and valuable things and offer them in turn.
Examples of lot descriptions for the scenario:
It's something big and sticky (most people think it's scotch tape, but it's a lollipop or lollipop).
It's small, but in a minute, if you make an effort, it can become big. (balloon).
Cold, green and long (bottle of champagne)
The main attribute of civilized life (toilet paper roll)
A simulator for those who need to train facial expressions (lemon).
Business person attribute (notepad)
Gift from Africa (banana, coconut, pineapple).
Elements of the script for a corporate dance party:
To ensure that the dances are not simple and monotonous, it is necessary to introduce elements of the game and amuse the participants.
Happy snake
All participants take hold of each other, organizing a long snake, the “head” of the snake, the participant who is in front, begins to twist the snake in a spiral. The result is a cheerful round dance twisted in rings, it is impossible to get out of it, you need to untangle all the rings.
Boxes.
A matchbox is tied to the participant's waist, the dance is accompanied by cheerful fast music, the participants must step on each other's boxes and tear them off, while at the same time preventing their box from being torn off, the one who keeps the boxes the longest wins this competition.
"Natural selection".
All participants dance in a circle, passing an object (apple, orange, ball), the music suddenly stops and the one who still has the object in his hands leaves the circle. The dance continues until a minimum number of participants remain, who are declared winners.
Initially, it is desirable to involve all participants in this entertainment, and take long pauses, then shorten the pauses.
Little engine.
The train is a bit like a funny snake, the participants stand one after another and dance, organizing the train.
Trick-fly.
A participant is selected who shows the movements, and the rest repeat after them, he dances in the center of the circle, then he chooses any other participant and circle and changes places with him, and so on, the participants change each other, while showing dance movements.
"Choose me"
Participants dance in a circle, several people dance in the center, they take turns changing with participants from the circle.
From time to time it is necessary to take breaks and arrange games and entertainment. To somehow indicate these pauses, the presenter can loudly say “Stop, music” and the participants will be ready for games and entertainment.
Corporate scenario: “On the Edge” competitions
When the evening is already coming to an end and the audience is already sufficiently warmed up and relaxed, you can conduct some entertainment “on the edge”. This is fun and interesting, but you need to make sure that there are no offended people and does not cause negative emotions among the participants. The incentive prize in such competitions must be original and significant.
Extra clothes.
The most daring participants are called to the stage to express their desire. A chair is placed in front of each person, accompanied by music, each competitor in turn places an extra item on the chair, these can be items from their pockets, personal items, jewelry. The participant who cannot put down anything is eliminated from the game, the winner is the one who lasts the longest.
Fetishism.
The presenter calls those who want to participate in the competition, they all must bring him the items indicated by him, whoever copes with the task best is declared the winner.
The mood in this competition is set by the presenter, who evaluates the general mood and behavior of the participants. The list of named items can be banal “bring candy, a flower” or it can be piquant “Bring a black handbag, a shirt, an object with the letter “any letter is said.” Participants in the competition persuade others to part with the item in order to win.
Men's competition for accuracy.
Men are given a bottle of water and a glass. A man must hold the bottle between his legs and fill a glass on the floor; you cannot help with your hands. The one who does it most accurately wins.
"Bomber".
Participants are divided into teams, each participant is given a coin, the leader assigns a line of fire and places glass or metal cans on it so that the sound of a falling coin can be heard. Team members stand behind each other and take turns running to the music to a container held between their knees with a coin. The participants’ task is to put the coin into the jar using only their legs, without touching with their hands. The team that manages to throw in the most coins in a shorter period of time is declared the winner.
At the end of the evening, it is necessary to sum up the results and award the most active participants with titles and medals.
Examples of nominations for awards:
The most original dancer.
The fastest dancer.
The most original dance.
The most flexible dance.
The most exciting dance.
Best dancer of the evening.
The most resourceful dancer.
Scenarios for corporate events - Recommendations.
The scenario is full of all kinds of competitions, but you shouldn’t hold them all; you need to choose a few of the most acceptable ones. A corporate party should add excitement, fun and not lead to fatigue, so you shouldn’t overload the entertainment program. It is necessary to monitor the general mood and behavior of the participants and hold competitions and entertainment when people get tired of dancing.
Often, in order to get to know each other better or simply to celebrate some event, employees of a particular company organize joint events, called today by a foreign term. But few people are interested in sitting in a stuffy office, especially if the weather is good outside, so many prefer to hold a corporate event in nature.
Celebration organization
The best events are those that are well organized. Therefore, if there is no opportunity or desire to contact a special company that specializes in holding holidays, you can do it yourself. To do this, you need to select an initiative group of 2-3 most active employees. The initiative group will do the following:
- Calculate the exact number of participants in the event.
- Will choose a suitable place: you will need to go there in advance to make sure that the place really suits all the parameters. It should be large, safe, and easily accessible.
- Thinks through the menu (usually most people prefer to make barbecue in nature)
- Calculate how much money will be needed for the event: you need to take into account not only the cost of food, but also the cost of prizes, as well as travel costs (if you have to travel far).
- Develop a script for the event.
When everything is ready, all that remains is to set a date that suits all employees. Usually a corporate party is held on a day off, so that no one is in a hurry and can devote time to colleagues.
Quest in nature
Of course, you can simply go out of town for a barbecue, taking with you a tape recorder for dancing or a guitar for singing songs together. But it is best to prepare games in which all employees can participate.
When a corporate event is held outdoors in the summer, most people prefer to organize a quest. Today, quests are a fashionable and beloved entertainment by many. Its essence lies in the fact that one or more teams work together to solve riddles or complete tasks in order to ultimately achieve their cherished goal. Such entertainment must have a presenter.
- A chest containing a prize is hidden in advance in a clearing (or in a forest). The chest must be locked and the key hidden somewhere else (for example, in a hollow tree or buried in a marked place).
- Participants are divided into 2 (or more) teams, each of which must come up with a name and motto. The number of participants can be any, optimally 4-6 people: this way everyone will be involved.
- The host shows the teams the chest and says that a key is hidden somewhere nearby. To find it, you need to complete some tasks.
- The result of a correctly completed task should indicate the next test.
- The team that gets to the key first wins a prize. As a prize, it is best to take something purely symbolic - for example, a bottle of wine that you can immediately drink with colleagues, or a box of chocolates. And if management gives the go-ahead, the prize could be one day off for each team member.
All tasks that players will perform should be aimed at team building. The best challenges are those that people cannot face alone. For example:
- get a sign from the tree (you need to attach it higher so that you can only get there by sitting on the shoulders of a friend), where the next task will be written;
- holding hands, pass the hoops in a circle without releasing your hands; to do this, the hoops must be put on the body diagonally (only one hand is threaded);
- solve the rebus where the next test or the direction in which you should move will be encrypted.
Tests should be of a very different nature: for strength, for dexterity, for ingenuity, for erudition, etc., because everyone is strong in something different - it is necessary for all employees to prove themselves.
Competitions for corporate events in nature
Whatever ideas for corporate events in nature are used, it is impossible to do without short competitions. The space makes it possible to conduct fairly large-scale tests.
Relay race
As a rule, the relay race is held among teams, but everyone nevertheless completes their task. Examples:
- each participant must run the distance wearing buckets on their feet (or one bucket on one leg);
- players go through the relay race, stepping only on paper plates, of which there are only two, and they must be moved;
- at the end of the distance there is a person who needs to bandage a leg or arm, next to him there is a packaged bandage: the first participant must tear the package, the second must unwind the bandage, the third must wrap the “wounded” area as carefully as possible, the fourth must tie, etc.
You can think of many obstacles for the relay race. It depends on the imagination of the organizers and on the availability of props.
Accurate shooter
Players move chaotically at different speeds across the clearing with buckets in their hands. One person stands in the center, holding paper sheets in his hands. Task: get a crumpled piece of paper into a bucket. To make the task not seem so easy, you can do it for a while.
Winter Games
Some people think that holding a corporate event outdoors in winter is not the best idea. Others fundamentally disagree with them, because there are many entertainments that are only available in winter.
Snowman
Just making a snowman is a simple matter. It is better to complicate the task by asking participants to follow a theme in their “sculpture”. For example, film a builder (if the event is held by a construction organization) or a programmer at work.
You can also choose “models” from among the employees who will pose for the snowman, taking a funny pose.
Drag
A simple Russian pastime - tug of war - can become a complex and at the same time very funny competition if held in winter. To do this, the area must be cleared in advance and perhaps lightly watered to make it slippery. Participants don't have to talk about it.
Players must complete the task in teams of 3-5 people, this will test not only their strength, but also their ability to maintain balance.
Find treasure
In a limited space (it is best to fence it off with a rope stretched over sticks), the treasure is buried in the snow. If the competition needs to be difficult, the item should be white. At the leader's command, players must look for treasure in the snow. Whoever finds it first takes it as a prize.
When developing a scenario for a corporate event in nature, all safety measures must be observed. And just in case, take a first aid kit with you, which will contain hydrogen peroxide, a bandage, brilliant green or iodine, cotton wool, ammonia and a plaster.
It is imperative to warn all employees traveling outdoors so that they dress appropriately - comfortable tracksuits and sneakers. In winter, you can even take spare clothes in case the main set gets wet.
Everyday office life in large companies is predictable and monotonous: as a rule, employees sit in separate offices, all communication occurs through electronic means, and employees organize their activities in accordance with the company’s internal standards. The only time when you can relax and chat with colleagues is lunch breaks. And, of course, corporate events.
Corporate events: how it all began
Any manager understands perfectly well that the effectiveness of a team largely depends on the psychological situation in the team and fair compensation for the results achieved. Moreover, this compensation should be not only material, but also moral. The fastest way to unite the team, reveal new facets of employees, increase loyalty to the company and emotionally relieve colleagues is to hold an off-site corporate event.
This ingenious marketing technique was invented by American top managers of insurance companies after World War II. They noticed that the performance of employees directly depends on their loyalty to the employing company and devotion to it. After small spontaneous “parties”, sales of services soared every time. If no “shocks” occurred for a long time, or the competitive factor disappeared, the team gradually began to slow down. Moreover, no financial vicissitudes of the difficult post-war period played any role.
Little by little, far-sighted managers began to plan such informal meetings of employees in advance and even pay for this fun. They understood that every dollar spent on entertainment would ultimately bring even more profit.
Since then, the world of office workers has begun to pay close attention to managed leisure among colleagues. This is how traditions emerged to celebrate the company’s birthday, the launch of new projects or, conversely, summing up results, Christmas parties, holidays in honor of International Women’s Day, and so on. Today it is common to combine entertainment with learning and team building. Most often, managers delight their employees with corporate events in nature: in the summer there is not much work, so the scenarios can be unusual and accessible.
About some nuances of corporate events
It should be immediately noted that the scope of events, timing and program directly depend on the allocated budget. As a rule, the funding framework is agreed upon initially, so even if an excellent script is written, but expenses exceed the agreed amount, management rarely agrees to revise it upward. Some savings are always welcome without compromising the event itself.
The best time to hold the event is Friday and Saturday. Summer corporate events in nature are also very popular, they are easy to plan, and then they are less expensive.
Any corporate events, including offsite ones, are the first item to be cut in times of financial difficulties in a company. Therefore, when the opportunity arises to have a great time with colleagues, you need to make the most of it.
How to create a corporate outdoor recreation scenario?
In order for a corporate field trip to meet the objectives, an adaptive script is written.
The first stage in planning is filling out the brief (a questionnaire in which all the most significant details of the event are noted). It is very important that this is done by the manager who is supervising the event, or by an employee who is entrusted with an “honorable mission.” This does not take much time, but such a document immediately creates the outline of a corporate event. The following points are briefly stated here:
- informational occasion (launch of a project, training, company birthday, team building, New Year, etc.),
- format of the event (party, gala dinner, outdoor recreation, trip abroad),
- budget,
- number of persons,
- duration,
- event curator (preferably one if the project is outsourced to an event agency),
- other wishes.
Now it's up to the script. Some people mistakenly think that it is enough to include some games and words from the presenters into the scenario of holding a corporate party in nature, and this will be more than enough for a great holiday.
The reality is this: the script can take up several dozen pages, where the event will be scheduled minute by minute, starting from the meeting place on the eve of the corporate event and ending with the last minute, when the participants are taken home.
So, point number one is choosing the venue for the event. In the warm season, country boarding houses and recreation centers with separate houses and landscaped areas and a restaurant are very popular. It is desirable that there is access to water: it can be either a river or the sea, or an ordinary pool or lake. The location is selected based on two factors:
- comfortable accommodation of all participants;
- capabilities of the site itself (for example, if team building is taking place, it is important that there are a sufficient number of trees around or, conversely, a cleared clearing).
By the way, accommodation and food take up from one third to half of the budget, so you need to book a site as early as possible. If a corporate event is held for all employees, renting the entire base may be a good solution. The price may include partial meals (breakfast), equipment rental (for example, fishing rods, ATVs, barbecues), a conference room with equipment and additional services (for example, a sauna or SPA treatments), etc. The full package of services will definitely cost less than each one separately, since it will immediately bring profit to the site. At the same time, you can negotiate discounts on accommodation or any other concessions from the location.
For management, as a rule, luxury rooms are provided; for ordinary employees, accommodation for 2-3 people is possible.
A very important point is the transfer of participants to the venue of the corporate event. Group delivery will help to properly set up the participants even before arriving on site and open them up emotionally. Communicating with each other in a relaxed atmosphere in anticipation of adventure and some detachment from the bustle of everyday life immediately lifts your spirits. Plus, you don’t have to think about how to get back.
If any thematic training or official speech is planned, it is best to conduct it in the first half of the day. The working atmosphere can be created in a furnished conference room or an impromptu classroom, for example on the lawn or near the pool. This part of the event should not take more than an hour to an hour and a half. If we are talking about some kind of intensive activity, you need to think about breaks or changing activities from passive to active teamwork. The second half of the day can be devoted to active entertainment, team building, or vice versa, giving each participant time to relax for a couple of hours.
The scenario of a corporate party in nature, especially thematically, provides that the host takes on the main role, especially during competitions. It is worth noting that the lead and manager of the entire project are not the same person. The first is responsible for excitement and high spirits, and the second oversees all technical aspects. Therefore, it is better to sacrifice a few dishes on the evening menu and invite a professional actor or showman with your free money. Such people have a good sense of the mood of the group, easily extinguish conflicts at the right moment and have an established arsenal of non-standard thematic competitions. They also bring the necessary props.
Never neglect such an issue as the musical accompaniment of a party. Good equipment and sounding music will create the right atmosphere. Ideally - .
Sample scenario for an offsite corporate event
It is assumed that an outdoor corporate event is held for 20 people at a country club. Two days pass.
The theme is “Forward to the Past.”

Quest game "Find the treasure chest."
Legend. There is an ancient map that leads to some ancient treasure chest. The problem is that there is also a double of this card. Since it is very ancient, its parts, like its double, are buried in different parts of the forest within a radius of 500 meters. The host tells a story about the treasure and divides the guests into teams. Each piece of the map found indicates what task must be completed in order to understand where the next piece is located. Once all the tasks are completed and the map is collected, it will become clear where the treasure is hidden.
- Light a fire without matches, using only available means.
- Build a hut 1 m high at the exact location indicated.
- Build an impromptu crossing across a stormy river.

The treasure chest contains personalized envelopes with a cash bonus from the company management.
15.30-16.00 – Return to the territory.
16.00-17.00 – Lunch.
17.00-20.00 – Sauna and swimming pool.

SCENARIO
1. Family game “Treasure Hunt”
The holiday must be organized so that both big and small can enjoy it. Therefore, most of the games offered are family games.
If you have time to prepare, you can start the holiday with an interesting adventure game. The game requires some preparation and imagination of the presenter, but this work fully pays off with the delight of children and adults.
All participants are divided into teams. For example, one family can represent one team, and participants who came alone can form a separate team.
The presenter reports that a treasure is hidden somewhere in the forest. You can find the treasure using clues hidden in the forest in certain places. The first hint for each team is given by the leader. To receive it, teams must complete the task of the leader.
Teams receive a list of items that they must bring to the leader in order for him to give them the first clue. An example list is provided in the supplementary materials.
After the team receives a clue, they try to find the location indicated in the clue. In this place lies the next clue, after solving which the participants find the next place. The number of clues for all teams is the same, however, their hiding places are different. In the last cache, to which the last clues of all teams lead, a treasure is hidden. Examples of hints are provided in the supplementary materials.
The team that finds the treasure first is declared the winner. However, it is desirable that the treasure can be divided among the participants of all teams.
In those places where intermediate clues are hidden, there may be candies or other small surprises.
2. Forest builders
Children, and many adults, will enthusiastically embrace the idea of building a hut. In this hut you can play and take a break from noisy games. And if you cover the hut with polyethylene, you will be able to wait out the rain in it.
Be careful and make sure that there is no anthill near the hut and that no poisonous plants get into the grass bedding in the hut.
3. Green arrows
Another forest entertainment is making bows or slingshots. The bowstring (thin cord) or elastic band for the slingshot must be prepared at home in advance.
Armed with bows, participants (regardless of age) can compete in accuracy by shooting at exposed tin cans.
4. Ring throw
Another attraction that is easy to make. You need to dig several sticks into the ground. Rings can be made from thick rope at home or woven from thin twigs. Participants who put rings on sticks
receive a prize. The distance to the poles may vary depending on the age of the participants.
5. Games for the little ones
If preschool children are present at the picnic, they can help adults in some competitions. In addition, it is necessary to carry out the following entertainment from time to time especially for them.
Find a toy
An adult hides a toy not far from the clearing. The children's task is to find a toy. Whoever finds it gets a prize.
The game must be played under the supervision of adults, making sure that none of the children in excitement go far into the forest.
10 pebbles are laid out on the path at equal distances from each other (the distance between the pebbles is approximately 15 cm). Pebbles can be replaced with cones. Children take turns standing on a line near the first pebble and jumping forward. At the same time, it is remembered which pebble the child jumped to. The best jumper receives a prize.
Quiet dashes
There is a short distance in the forest (no more than 5 m). The participants’ task is to walk the distance silently, so that a twig does not crunch or a leaf rustles. The one who succeeds receives a prize.
Knock down the bumps
Several cones are laid out on the stump. The participants’ task is to use sticks or other cones to knock all the cones off the stump from a distance of 1-2 m. The game is played for fun.
Add to cart
You need to hang a mushroom basket on a tree branch or bush. The basket is hung at a height of a meter above the ground. The children's task is to hit the basket with a cone from a certain distance.
It is necessary that all participants receive prizes and become winners of any competition. To prevent children from becoming overtired, it is necessary to arrange intervals between games.
6. Cooking
Children will enjoy frying bread or sausages over a fire. You just need to explain to them how it’s done and string the food onto a twig so that it doesn’t jump off into the fire. Also, make sure that children do not eat burnt foods.
Regardless of whether you cook kebabs or fried sausages, everyone will be happy with the proposed treat. It is best to pool the food so that everyone can find “tastier” food on the table brought by other participants.
8. Entertainment “Gifts of the Forest”
A trip to the forest is the best way to develop children's interest in nature, plants and animals, insects, and mushrooms. Depending on the time of year and the place chosen for the picnic, you can collect mushrooms, berries, nuts, and medicinal herbs. You can teach children how to make herbariums or show them how flowers grow and insects live. If you take binoculars, you can watch the birds.
However, if you are not specifically interested in botany or ornithology, prepare for such an excursion so that your story is interesting and you can cope with numerous children's questions.
9. Nature quiz for kids
After the practical observations, give the children a quiz. Various questions about flora and fauna must be prepared in advance. Examples of quiz questions are provided in the supplementary materials.
If you choose more difficult questions, adults can also participate in the quiz. In this case, the right of the first answer belongs to the younger participants, and if they fail, one of the adults tries to answer the question. To ensure that children do not lose interest in the quiz, it is necessary that it contains questions of varying difficulty.
10. Sports family games
After resting, participants can again play active games. You can have a volleyball or football match. It would be interesting if the teams were selected in a certain way, for example a competition between two families, a competition between fathers and mothers, a competition between fathers and sons. In this case, the strengths of the teams should be approximately equal.
Players who are not directly involved in the match can organize a noisy support group.
11. Games and competitions
In addition to sports games, you can provide various entertainment for children and adults. At the same time, calm and active games should alternate.
The players stand in a circle. The drivers are “dogs” (2-5 people) - inside the circle. The players throw the ball, the task of the “dogs” is to intercept the ball when it is in the air. If the “dog” manages to catch the ball, it changes roles with the player from the circle who missed the ball.
There is also a team version of the game. One team - the “trainers” - throws the ball to each other, the players of the other team - the “dogs” - try to intercept the ball. If one of the players succeeds, the teams change roles.
Without leaving the spot
Participants stand in a circle. The ball is passed around the circle at an increasingly increasing pace. In this case, players must stand in one place. If any player drops the ball, he is out of the game and leaves the circle. Thus, the distance between the players increases more and more. The last participant remaining in the game wins.
Ball in a circle
The players form a circle. The driver with the ball is in the center of the circle. The driver tries to kick the ball out of the circle. And the players prevent him from doing this by hitting the ball. If the driver still manages to knock the ball out of the circle, the player who missed the ball becomes the new driver, and the previous driver takes his place.
Players in a circle must stand at least an arm's length apart from each other.
For the game you can choose not one, but 2-3 drivers. In this case, the game can be played with either one or two balls.
The players stand in a circle. They are informed that now each of them will be named an animal. After this, the players should slowly walk in a circle while the leader lists the different animals. As soon as someone hears the name of his animal, he must squat down, and his right and left neighbors must prevent him from doing so. The drawing consists of calling all players the same animal (for example, a bear). First, the presenter lists 3-4 other animals, and then says: “Bear,” and a fun fight begins on the playground.
A circle with a diameter of 2 m is drawn on the ground. Two people participate in the competition at the same time. Each participant stands on his right leg, holding his left leg by the ankle with his right hand. The left hand is hidden behind the back. The goal of the players is to push the opponent out of the circle. The one who does this is declared the winner. In addition, a participant who lets go of his left leg or uses his hands during the fight is considered a loser.
For the game, it is advisable to choose a referee who would ensure that all rules and safety precautions are followed. Players must be of the same weight category.
Name the sixth
The first player names five objects of the same category (for example, five animals, fish, birds, trees, etc.). The next participant must name another item from the same category. If he succeeds, he asks the question to the next player, if not, this participant gives a forfeit. At the end of the game there is a draw for forfeits.
What kind of animal?
The driver is contemplating some animal. The remaining participants must guess what is planned. To do this, they ask the driver questions to which he can only answer “Yes” or “No.” The first player to guess the intended animal becomes the new driver.
Numbers of additional games suitable for this holiday can be found in the entertainment index.
12. Clay crafts
If the party is taking place near a river, one of the best activities for kids might be clay modeling (if you can find it). Clay figurines can be fired in a fire or dried in the sun. Even the smallest ones will be able to squeeze out their palm on a clay layer, which will remain as a memory of the holiday.
13. Sand sculpture competition
If you find a place for a picnic near the sandy bank of the river, you can organize a sand castle competition or any sand sculptures for children and adults. You can also sculpt a huge sand city together.
At the same time, make sure that children do not overheat in the sun or become chilled in the water.
14. Way home
To make the journey home fun for tired travelers, organize a singing competition along the way or come up with and sing a song about your adventures. You can compose a song one by one. The person in front sings the first line, the next participant sings the second line in rhyme with the first, etc.
