How to entertain guests at your own anniversary. The most fun birthday contests for adults... and not so much. Everyone’s favorite since childhood, “Broken Phone”

We celebrate birthdays year after year. And the scenario can be monotonous if it revolves only around the table and alcohol. It's sad, isn't it? True hospitality is when you take care not only of your stomach, but also of your soul.

The lavish table is complemented by a joyful atmosphere that is remembered long after. That is why people from generation to generation come up with cool table competitions designed to amuse the gathered company and train the ingenuity of the guests!

Cool table competitions for the fun company “Spy Passions”

Many competitions involve solving mysteries in the face of a lack of information. A person at any age loves riddles, especially if the winner receives a gift!

Tentacle forks

The essence of the game is simple: recognize an object blindly. The guest's eyes are blindfolded, and he cannot touch the object with his hands! The player is armed with only two forks. In 2 minutes he must probe and guess as many things as possible.

The organizer should select in advance ordinary household items like a comb, toothbrush, pencil, candy, orange, etc. To make the task easier, the player can ask questions like: “Is this edible?”, “Is this a hygiene item?”, “Is it made of wood?” ? and others who can help solve the problem.

You are allowed to answer “Yes” and “No”, no more. The one who guessed more and more accurately wins. You are guaranteed to laugh until you cry!

Who am I?

Each participant has a piece of paper with an inscription attached to their forehead using tape. This can be any noun: a living creature or object, but for convenience you can limit yourself to famous characters from cartoons and movies, famous personalities. People sitting in a circle see all the inscriptions except their own.

Each player takes turns asking a leading question (“Am I an actor?”, “Am I a woman?”), to which you can only answer “Yes” or “No.” The first person to guess his character (or another word) wins. Anyone who guesses incorrectly is eliminated from the game or receives a comic punishment.

Mysterious ball

For the game, prepare a small gift, foil and short riddles. The latter are written on pieces of paper.
The gift is wrapped in the first layer of foil, and a leaf with a riddle is attached to it with tape.

The procedure is repeated several times, at least 6-7. More complex riddles should be placed closer to the center, and simpler ones on top. Someone reads the inscription. The first person to guess the riddle has the right to remove a layer of foil and read the next one. The process is repeated.

The gift is given to the one who solved the most difficult riddle and removed the last layer of foil.

Game "Killer"

The number of participants is unlimited. To draw lots you will need coins and an opaque bag. The coins must be identical, and only one must be marked (of a different color or with some symbol).

All players take out a coin without showing it to others. That participant. whoever comes across a marked coin is considered a “killer”.

Participants try to look into each other's eyes in search of the "killer". Ordinary players cannot independently remove other participants from the game. The “killer” “kills” in a random order - he blinks, meeting the victim’s gaze, trying to ensure that his actions are not noticed by other players. The killed participant immediately declares loudly, placing his coin on the table:
-Killed!
And leaves the game.
The participant who suspected the “killer” says (pointing to him):
- I suspect.
But only two suspects together can catch the “killer”. Until the second suspect shows up, the “killer” has time to take the first one out of the game. The goal of the participant with the marked coin is to “kill” all participants before he is exposed.

Guess the prize

The game is perfect for a birthday - you can take the name of the hero of the occasion as a basis. It’s good if it’s long and more or less corresponds to the number of guests. For example, the name Anton has 5 letters.

The treasured bag contains 5 gifts for each letter. A - orange, H - scissors, T - plate, O - postcard, N - handkerchief. If the prizes are complex, guests can be given small hints. Whoever guesses the item first gets it.

Emergency!

A simple game that requires no props and will delight any crowd.

Funny contests for the birthday of “Nonsense”

A whole series of games is based on a random coincidence of words, revealing “all the ins and outs” of the participants! An unexpected “truth” not only increases the level of endorphins, but sometimes reveals the secrets of the subconscious...

Question answer

The meaning of the game is clear from the name - with the clarification that both are written on cards and placed in two piles with the text facing down.

The first player draws a question and chooses the addressee, and the last player draws an “answer” card and reads it out loud. And then the procedure is repeated.

You will discover that your friend hides sandwiches in the most unimaginable places, and your best friend howls at the moon at night, sitting on the roof...

Story

In front of the players are sheets of paper with letters of the alphabet. Someone chooses one of them, and all participants must come up with one word starting with that letter, but in such a way that the result is a funny story.

For example, with the letter “D”: “Dmitry dominated the day for a long time, but reached demonic disorientation.” The brighter your imagination works, the more fun the game!

Table vocabulary game “Say the Same Thing”

The name of the game can be translated from English as “Say what I said.”

It can take place if there are at least two people.
Its essence is as follows: on the count of one, two, three, players pronounce any random word.

The task of the participants is to come to a common denominator (word) through step-by-step associations. On the next count, players must pronounce the next word that relates to and combines the previous ones spoken.

The game continues until, using the associative method, the participants manage to “read” each other’s thoughts and say the same word out loud.

Let's say there are two players. At the first stage, one of them voiced the word “fireworks”, the second - “day off”. Theoretically, to achieve the desired match, they may only need a couple of moves: for example, if on the second count of one-two-three the participants say the words “holiday” and “fun”, and then, say, “food” and “birthday”, then it is likely that they can reach mutual understanding already on the fourth word. Let's say the general word is "cake".

However, if initially words are heard that are far from each other in meaning, or during the gameplay the participants are carried into the “lexical jungle”, then the path along which the action can develop becomes completely unpredictable and quite fun.

A Tale with Missing Words

The presenter writes a fable in advance, the characters of which are participants in the holiday. Only the fairy tale lacks some words that the players are asked to come up with. Each person takes turns naming a noun, adjective or verb, depending on what is required in the text.

Revelry of imagination and the most ridiculous and funny epithets are welcome! When all the blanks are filled in, the universal creation is read aloud.

Noun and adjective

The principle here is the same as in the previous competition. The last participant in the row comes up with a word, mentioning only whether it is masculine or feminine (for example, “cutlet”). Then the guests take turns calling adjectives and epithets, and the last one voices the hidden word.

The result is something like “a glassy, ​​charming, sexy, mysterious, grumpy cutlet.” The game is played quickly. Guests change roles so that everyone comes up with a noun.

"In my pants..."

The meaning of the game must remain a mystery until the very end. Participants sit in a circle, and everyone tells the neighbor on the left the name of a film, TV series or cartoon. The player remembers, but tells the next one in line a different name, and so on until the end. After this, the presenter asks everyone to say “In my pants...” and add the name of the film heard from a neighbor.

Imagine that someone has “The Lion King” or “Resident Evil” hiding in the designated place!

Cool competitions for a fun company at the table “Discover your talents!”

There are games that explore intelligence, artistry, and creativity. Who is the most talented? Who will impress the guests the most and make them laugh until they cry? The competitions presented below can provide answers to these questions.

Dancing while sitting

Contestants sit down on stools in the center of the hall and begin to dance to catchy music without leaving their seats.

The toastmaster leads the process and names the parts of the body that should dance at a certain moment: “first we dance with our lips and eyes, then with our eyebrows, then with our hands,” etc.

The audience votes for the best chair dancer.

Princesses-non-laughs

Guests are divided into 2 teams. The first takes on the most sour, sad or serious look, and the members of the second group must take turns or all together to cheer up the “non-laughable ones.” Anyone who smiles last joins the other team.

If within a certain period of time all the “sour faces” are cheerful, their opponents win. If not, the “non-laughers” win.

Sculptor

To complete the task you need imagination and a pack of plasticine. One of the guests names a letter of the alphabet, and the competition participants must fashion an object for this letter.

The speed of sculpting and similarity to the original are assessed. Players receive 2 prizes for the “beauty of the masterpiece” and the efficiency of production!

My mouth is full of worries

A fairly well-known game for which you need to stock up on small caramels or toffees. Contestants put the candy in their mouth and say: “Happy birthday!” Then they take another toffee and the process is repeated. The winner is the one who pronounces the phrase more expressively with the largest number of candies in his mouth.

Skyscraper

The game is designed for people with strong nerves. It is better to play it when the guests have already had a little drink, but their movements are still quite accurate.

The “tower” is built from domino plates: they are placed in the letter “P”, and then the second, third “floor” grows, and so on. Each player adds one plate. Anyone who accidentally destroys a building drinks a penalty portion of alcohol.

Speed ​​solving puzzles

Small puzzles with 54 pieces are quite affordable, but you can take more complex ones. Participants are divided into 2 teams and excitedly assemble the picture at speed. Puzzles that are too large can bore guests.

Crocodile

A popular game, familiar to everyone and loved since childhood, suitable for different ages, also called “Pantomime”, “Cow”, etc. You can play in a team or individually. In the first case, the leader selects 1 person from each group and tells them a word. Start with something simple, like the names of animals or ordinary objects. Then there may be more complex concepts like “dream”, “love”, “investment”, “Paris”, “America”... Each participant must explain to his comrades what it is without making a sound. For each word guessed, the team gets a point.

Supertoast

At any holiday, especially birthdays, congratulations and toasts are important.
But not everyone likes or knows how to pronounce them, and solemn speeches come down to banal wishes for “health and happiness.”
To make this process joyful and extraordinary, toasts should be made under certain conditions! For example:

• the congratulation should be related to food (“let there be life in chocolate!”);
• give a speech for the birthday boy in a thematic style (for example, like “brothers” with criminal words, in the style of “Alice in Wonderland” or the works of Tolkien - depending on the company that has gathered);
• the congratulation is associated with animals (“beautiful like a butterfly”);
• compose a rhyming greeting on the fly;
• say a toast in a foreign language;
• congratulate the hero of the occasion, using the ENTIRE list of words taken from the air (sun, rainbow, newspaper, slippers, president...).

The list of tasks can be increased. They are written on pieces of paper and distributed to guests.

Magic story

Guests are divided into 2 equal teams, each participant needs to write words on pieces of paper. The latter should relate to a specific topic, for example, one group writes what comes to mind in connection with the concept of “Birthday”. Another comes up with associations for the birthday person himself, his character traits or life events.

Teams can be created “by gender”, so that men write their thoughts about women (“beauty”, “tenderness”, etc.), and vice versa (“strength”, “knight”...). The words may be taken randomly, but that's not that interesting.

Then the teams exchange their notes, with the blank side up. Players take turns taking out pieces of paper and coming up with a sentence with the specified word. The team must come up with a story that is interconnected in meaning, then the turn goes to the opponents.

"Not at ease"

As they say, look at your neighbor's plate - you'll always have time to look at yours. The competition is held over food. The driver names any letter of the alphabet, and the participants must name the corresponding product on their plate faster than others.

The use of ё, и, ь, ъ, ы is prohibited. The first one to guess becomes the new presenter. If no one can name the word starting with the specified letter, he receives a prize.

A good holiday requires advance preparation. You need to prepare a bunch of dishes - what other fun? – you may ask. But it’s the cool table competitions that will make the atmosphere fun, and the company around the table won’t be bored.

You can involve guests in the preparation process: ask them to bring props (don’t say what for!) or crafts that will decorate the holiday.

Put your whole soul into organizing the holiday, and any celebration will become truly magical!

People are used to celebrating their birthday every year. Many people try to somehow diversify the holiday so that guests don’t get bored. That is, the celebration should not be accompanied by just a feast with alcohol; there should be games and congratulations (toasts) in poetic form.

Today we’ll look at the coolest competitions for adults’ birthdays, funny and table-based.

While the guests are going to congratulate the birthday boy, they are invited to play a game. Since many people do not dare say congratulations in front of everyone, because they simply do not know how to do it, guests are invited to associate toasts with food. For example, someone will say this: “Let your life be filled with new colors, and let everything be in order!”

You can also determine in what genre the guest will say his congratulations (riddle, mysticism, jargon). You can create conditions for making a toast based on “food”. Let the guests express their wishes in the form of an animal: “Be as beautiful as a butterfly!”

The essence of the competition is this: the guest is blindfolded and with the help of a fork and knife he must guess the “dish”. But the dish will not be edible. For example, you can put a comb, toothbrush, pencils, etc. on a plate.

As in the crocodile game, the participant has the right to ask leading questions, and the guests only answer “yes” or “no.” The winner must guess the maximum number of items.

Think of a compliment!

All guests take part in this competition. One participant goes to the center of the hall and thinks up a word that he speaks only to the presenter. And guests must choose epithets. At the end, the guests are told the hidden word and everyone laughs, since, for example, “sausage” can become charming, sexy or grumpy. Then the participant who guesses the word can be changed.

Mouth full of sweets

This funny and festive birthday party for adults can be done right at the table. To conduct the competition, you will need participants (guests) and small candies, preferably toffees. The participant puts the candy in his mouth and says: “Happy Birthday.”

Then he puts another toffee in his mouth and says the same phrase. After - 3 toffees, 4, etc. The winner must clearly pronounce the words of congratulations with a large number of candies in his mouth.

"Who am I?"

For this competition you need to prepare props. Take a landscape sheet and cut it into equal strips. Write the celebrity's name on each one and tape it to each guest's forehead. The participant himself should not know what was assigned to him.

Each guest asks his neighbor the question: “Am I a man/woman/animal?” “Am I an actress/doctor/doctor?” There is a timed competition. The participant must guess who he is in 1 minute. Accordingly, the one who guessed the word becomes the winner. Here’s a fun and table-like competition for adults’ birthdays that you can hold with your loved ones.

"The crocodile has disappeared..."

You can hold a very interesting competition. To do this, you need a leader who chooses the “hunter”. He hands him a clothespin and tells him to quietly put it in some guest’s pocket or bag. While the guests are having fun, the “hunter” informs the host that everything is ready.

Then the presenter announces that the crocodile has disappeared. He begins to count out loud to 10. At this time, the guests begin to examine themselves to see if this crocodile has gotten into theirs. If, after the time has elapsed, the “victim” finds a clothespin, then the “hunter” drinks a “penalty” glass; if not, then the “victim” will drink.

Game "Chamomile"

For the competition you will need cardboard from which you need to cut out a circle and petals. It should look like chamomile. Write a fun task on each petal. Each participant tears off a petal and completes the task. And the guests, in turn, guess what the participant showed.

Dancing on chairs

Participants are selected from among the guests for the competition. Chairs are brought to the center of the hall, on which participants are asked to sit. Killer music comes on and everyone starts dancing. The main condition is not to get up from the chair.

The presenter names the part of the body that should dance at that moment. It can only be hands, eyebrows, head, etc. Guests must choose a funny dancer themselves.

"Guess the word"

During the competition for adults' birthdays, you can use funny and drinking 2. In each, a commander is allocated, to whom the leader says the word, and he must show it to his team using gestures. As soon as one of the teams guesses the word, the leader says the next one and so on until the time runs out. Whose team guesses the most words wins.

"Funny story"

The host tells the guests a letter for which everyone must come up with a word, but in such a way as to make a funny story. For example, you got the letter “P”. You start a sentence with a word starting with the letter “R”, and the rest continue to come up with words in a circle. As a result, the following story may turn out: “Roman decided to learn the rumba, but his work was ruined by rheumatism.” Try to come up with as funny words as possible to make a funny story. Guests will have a lot of fun!

"Sniper"

A very interesting game. All guests sit in a circle. They are given lots. All the pieces of paper have the same word “Victim” written on them, only one says “Sniper”. The “sniper” must wink at any person, but so that others do not notice. When the “Victim” sees the wink, she must loudly shout “Killed!”, but in no way give away the “Sniper”. The goal of the players is to find out who the “Sniper” is.

"Find me"

First, you will need to select participants for the competition. Secondly, take the same number of sheets as there are participants. Each person must write a description of his appearance: beautiful eyes, a mole in a certain place, plump lips, etc. All the leaves are wrapped and folded into a hat.

Then they take turns getting it and the participants guess who it is. Each participant names only one word. If someone has already proposed an option who is described on the piece of paper, then he cannot name it a second time.

You can’t do without competitions for adults’ birthdays that are funny and fun. They allow guests to get to know each other better and have a great time.
