Festive Portal - Festival

Simple contests for adults' birthdays. How and how to entertain guests at your anniversary. Ready-made options. Snapshots from life

An anniversary is a significant event in the life of every person. To make the celebration memorable for a long time, and for the guests to have fun from the heart, it is worth diversifying the feast with interesting games. Fun anniversary competitions for children and adults will create a festive atmosphere and give a charge of joy and positivity.

    Several couples participate in the competition. To carry it out you will need boxes of matches and oranges (according to the number of pairs). One of the pair members will portray academician Pavlov, and the second will portray his dog.

    The competitor, playing the role of a dog, must peel and eat an orange. He can only do this in the light, when the second player Pavlov is holding a burning match. Once it has gone out, it cannot be cleaned or chewed. You can continue working only after the match has lit.

    The pair that completes the task faster than the rest wins. Its participants receive the titles of Honored Academician and the smartest friend of man.

    3 people participate in the competition - they will be harvesters. The hero of the day will act as the host. Each participant is given 3 bowls and a basket of fruit: apples, apricots, plums. You can also choose berries, but no more than three varieties. The contestants are then blindfolded.

    At a signal, they begin to sort the fruits. At the same time, you need to sing songs so that the owner or mistress of the plantation hears and understands that no one tastes the fruit.

    The winner is the harvester who quickly and correctly arranges all the fruits into bowls. As a prize, the winner shares the harvest with the hero of the day.

    Game "Matches"

    The game involves 5 people. Each participant has a matchbox tied to his leg on a string (about 50 centimeters long). Participants stand in a circle so that their socks touch. The box is placed in front of the leg.

    On command they jump back. After that, they simultaneously begin to jump in a circle clockwise, trying to step on their neighbor’s box and save theirs. The last player to keep his box wins.

    Game "I Know You"

    In this game, the main participant is the hero of the day. They cover his eyes with a blindfold. All the guests take turns approaching him and asking the same question: “How to get to the library?” Participants need to try to change their voice as much as possible: hold their nose, lower or raise their voice, make it so that it becomes unrecognizable.

    The hero of the day must figure out who exactly approached him. Guessed guests leave the game. The rest move on to the second round. Now they ask another funny question, for example: “Excuse me, what are these eggs for?”

    Those whom the birthday boy does not recognize are declared the best parodists of the evening.

    The competition involves two men - they will be fishermen and any number of girls - they will act as fish. Each woman is tied to a ball of a certain color (for example, red, yellow or blue) on her belt. Chairs are placed in a circle around the dance floor. There should be quite a lot of space in the circle.

    The fishermen stand in the center of the circle. Around them fish dance to the music. When the command “red fish” sounds, each fisherman must catch a girl with a red ball and tear it off, “yellow fish” - with a yellow one, and so on. At this time, the ladies rush to run outside the circle. You can only fish in the middle of the circle.

    The fisherman who catches the most fish (tears off more balls of the desired color) wins.

    2 people participate in the competition. To carry it out, you need to prepare ribbons of two colors (for example, blue and red) of the same length and two scissors.

    The participants’ task is to, on command, cut the ribbon into small pieces as quickly as possible and tie them on the wrists of the people who are present at the celebration. If the invited guest already has a bandage on his arm, then it is prohibited to hang another one.

    The participant who ties the most ribbons wins.

    Game "Cunning Cupbearer"

    The game involves 2 people. To carry it out, you need to prepare 2 chairs, 2 wooden spoons, 2 glasses and a container of water (for interest, preferably red, to emphasize the similarity with wine, or you can pour the wine itself) - a little more than two glasses. Chairs are placed at a distance of 2-3 meters from each other. Glasses and spoons are placed on one of them, and a wine bowl on the other.

    The participants' task is to transfer as much wine as possible into their glasses with a wooden spoon within 1 minute while listening to lively music. The glasses are placed right next to each other, so you need to be careful not to spill wine into your opponent’s vessel.

    The participant whose glass contains more liquid wins.

    Game "Lightning"

    All interested guests participate in the game. Participants are divided equally into 2 teams. Each player in the first group receives a balloon of the same color (for example, yellow). Members of the second team receive balls of a different color (for example, blue). Then the players place them on the floor in a chaotic order.

    The participants' task is to burst all the opponents' balloons with their hands as quickly as possible. While destroying opponents' balloons, players must do their best to protect their own. The participant who pops one of the opponent's balloons is eliminated from the game.

    The team that destroys all the opponents' balls the fastest wins.

    All interested guests participate in the competition. They are divided equally into 3 teams. To conduct the competition you will need 3 identical sets of different souvenir banknotes (euro, dollars, rubles) of various denominations and 3 bags. Each group of participants receives the same bag with money copies.

It doesn’t matter for what occasion you invite guests - for a regular birthday or a significant anniversary - the birthday person should be prepared. The festive menu and musical accompaniment are, of course, important. But it’s not enough for the mood: I want everyone to have fun. Analyze the composition of your guests: acquaintances, strangers, gender, age, status. Although all adults remain children at heart, and a holiday is precisely the occasion when you can be a child for at least one evening, experiencing a storm of positive emotions. Competitions are a universal option even for a low-active company.

Kiss - bite

The host asks each of the guests to name one feature that he likes in his neighbor and what he doesn’t like. After all the answers, the host asks you to kiss the place you liked and bite the part that irritates you.

Hold the coin

Cover the glass with the drink with a thick napkin (it should not sag) and place a coin in the center. We pass the glass in a circle and with a lit cigarette or candle, everyone tries to lightly burn the napkin so that it does not burn. Whoever lights it up and the coin falls into the glass drinks its contents. The “prize” in the form of a coin also goes to him.

Give me the shoe!

One of the guests reaches under the table and takes off someone's shoes. The owner of the shoes must remain unperturbed. Then they put on the shoes and move on to another guest. Whoever gives himself away during the process of putting on shoes, or is somehow identified, crawls under the table and becomes the leader.

Kiss Mishka!

They bring out a teddy bear and pass it around in a circle. Everyone should kiss him anywhere they want. Then the presenter offers to kiss only his neighbor there.

Read minds

One of those sitting at the table is covered with an opaque cloth over his head. The rest make a wish for something from his things and write it down on paper. The player under the cape must guess which of his things is intended. If he guesses correctly, the game continues; if not, he must take off his clothes.

Answer me, my dear

From the props, prepare a piece of paper and a pen. The first participant writes for the neighbor any question beginning with the word why or how. Then he folds the piece of paper so that the question cannot be read and tells the neighbor only the word - the question (why, where, how...). He writes the answer at his own discretion, hides it by folding the piece of paper, and composes a question for another neighbor. When the paper is returned to the first player, the answers are read out. We get some very interesting coincidences.

Another option: the leader writes a phrase, showing the neighbor only the last word in the sentence. Then from this word he begins to compose his own phrase and also shows his neighbor only his last word. They voice the story when the piece of paper returns to the presenter. This is how, in fact, rumors are born.

Glass and straw

All guests are provided with cocktail straws. They need to be held in your teeth. The first participant puts a plastic cup on a straw and hands-free passes it to a neighbor, who removes the glass only with a straw. A tougher option is with a ring and a toothpick. But this is after the third toast.

I am a poet

Competitions for adults can also be creative. We put notes in a hat with excerpts of poems, for example: “I am a chocolate bunny,” “And I am unmarried, someone really needs it,” “It’s great that we are all here.” Each player takes a note from the hat and comes up with a rhyming continuation with humor and a holiday theme.

Speaker

The participant is stuffed in his mouth (with a bun or other food) and given a piece of paper with text, which he must read expressively. The other participant must write down the story in detail. Then its description is compared with the original. Choose interesting material for the speaker.

For those who are thirsty

In the center of the table (or clearing in nature) are all the glasses (glasses) with a drink. Some must be deliberately spoiled (salt, pepper - the main thing is compatible with life and health). All guests have balls (for example, for badminton). They throw them into glasses without leaving their seats. Whichever glass the ball lands in, you take it and drink it.

Milked a cow?

A medical glove is tied to a stick and water is poured into it. Props are given to participants. They need to “milk the cow.” It looks very impressive. The winner will milk the “cow” the fastest.

Let's get acquainted

For the competition you need a roll of toilet paper. The host invites the guests to tear off a few pieces for themselves, and motivates them so that they stock up on paper thoroughly. Then he invites everyone to tell him as many interesting facts about himself as there are pieces of paper in his hands. Make sure that participants do not try to get rid of supplies in other ways and control the schedule of speakers.

Who is bigger?

We divide the guests into teams. Each person chooses a letter for themselves, and receives a task for that letter. For example, remember dishes starting with the letter K (another team - with its own letter). They call each other in turn. Whoever runs out of vocabulary faster loses.

Associations

A game similar to a broken phone. The presenter says a word in the ear of the first participant, for example, birthday, he whispers his version to the neighbor, causing him associations with the birthday, for example, drinking, then a hangover, a headache, etc. Then all the options are announced.

Thick-cheeked lip slap

A simple and very comical competition. Everyone fills their mouth with candy canes and with their mouths full says: “fat-cheeked lip slap.” The winner is the one who pronounces this (or other) phrase with the maximum amount of candy in his mouth.

Fanta

There are many variations of this game, here is another one: “Forfeits on a schedule.” Each guest receives a number that corresponds to a task, for example: forfeit No. 1 makes a toast like an entertainer, introducing everyone to those around him and announcing the reason for which everyone has gathered; phantom No. 2 makes a toast to the birthday boy with the feeling of a person who has been hopelessly and for a long time in love with him (possibly with poetry); fan No. 3 makes a toast in the Caucasian style: long, with appropriate gestures and accent; fan No. 4 makes a toast with the air of a completely drunk guest; forfeit No. 5 must sing a toast, etc. When the host announces toasts at the table throughout the evening, they are not known to the guests. Whether these will be preparations from the beginning of the holiday or complete improvisations is up to you to decide.

Bon appetit

Pair competition. Participants are blindfolded and given an apple (or ice cream). They must feed each other until everyone has eaten everything. Or they won't bite your fingers.

Clothespins

Another doubles game. The presenter blindfolds the players and hangs ten clothespins on each of them. For a certain time, they, blindfolded, remove all the clothespins from their partner, the rest of the guests watch and count.

Who's the fastest?

In front of the teams on the table are identical containers with drinks on the same level. At the signal, everyone begins to drink with spoons what you offered them. The team that licks its bowl first wins.

For the savvy

An object is laid out on the table and everyone takes turns voicing their version of its use. It may not be traditional, but it is logical (it doesn’t matter whether you cover a window with paper, stuff wet boots, or make origami). Those who run out of ideas leave the game until the most resourceful one is determined.

Birthday gifts

Each guest cuts out from paper a symbol of a gift for the birthday boy: a car, an apartment key, etc. Then the “gifts” are hung on a string, and the birthday boy, blindfolded, cuts off three objects. What he found will appear with him in the near future. Then he guesses whose gift it is. If he names correctly, the owner of the forfeit fulfills the wish of the birthday boy.

Be vigilant

An attention game for tipsy guests. The host turns to any guest at the table with a question, and his neighbor on the right must answer. The one who did not get his bearings in time and gave the wrong answer ends the game. The game can be complicated by thoughtful questions, asking instead of the banal “what is your name,” for example, “two nails fell into the water, what is the Georgian’s last name?” (Rusted)"

The most sober

The first participant takes a button on his index finger and gives it to his neighbor. He must take it with the same finger. You cannot help with other fingers. Whoever fails is eliminated from the game. Guests need to reach across the table until the two most dexterous and sober winners remain in the game.

I can feel it in my backside!

Participants rise from their chairs without turning around and place several potatoes, sweets or other hard objects on the seats. They cover it with newspaper or cloth and the guests sit down in their chairs, trying to guess how many items are on the seat. Whoever guessed right, the “prince (princess) and the pea” will receive a prize for the best intuition.

Brown and polar bear

A brutal competition for an already very cheerful group. The glass is filled with beer. This is a “brown bear”. It must be turned into “white.” The participant, who knows his norm, drinks half of the glass. Vodka is immediately added there. Another half is drunk. Vodka is added again until the participant turns into a “polar bear” and drinks a clean glass of vodka. You can continue the reverse transformation from a polar bear to a brown one, but do not forget about the likelihood of alcohol intoxication.

Who washes the dishes

The final stage. Two teams of participants. At a signal, everyone takes off their clothes and ties them to the clothes of their neighbor, who to the next one, until everyone has tied the rope. At the signal from the leader, the ropes are passed on for control. Whoever got the shortest answer goes to the kitchen.

Any feast is an occasion to gather loved ones and relatives. And to make it more fun, you need to diversify it with table competitions. The options are described in the article.

"Kompromat"

This comic competition is held with the participation of married couples. Men, numbering, write in a column the ten first names of animals that come to mind (this can be any representatives of flora and fauna). Of course, all this is done in secret from the wives. Now wives are doing the same thing. After this, the presenter asks the wives to continue the phrase he started, adding to it the word written down by their husband on the sheet (the words are pronounced in the order in which they are written down). So your husband:

♦ Affectionate, like...

♦ Sociable, like...

♦ Strong as...

♦ Smiling like...

♦ Neat, like...

♦ Brave as...

♦ Amorous, like...

♦ Beautiful as...

Then the husband reads out the representatives of the fauna chosen by his wife. So your wife:

♦ In transport like...

♦ With work colleagues like...

♦ With relatives like...

♦ In the store it's like...

♦ In a cafe or restaurant like...

♦ At home it’s like...

♦ How is it with the boss...

♦ In bed like...

♦ In a friendly company like...

♦ In the doctor's office, how...

You are guaranteed healthy laughter from both the audience and the competition participants themselves!

"Shave your loved one"

All men who volunteer to take part in the competition are given balloons inflated to the limit with funny faces drawn on them, onto which the presenter applies shaving cream. Now the conditions of the competition are announced: men hold the ball by its base from below, and women at this time must “shave” the balls with a disposable razor. The presenter is advised to have a towel on hand, as the balloon may burst...

"Guess it"

Guests sitting at the table are divided into two teams - on one side and the other side of the table. In each team, players choose a leader. The theme of the game is determined, which is associated with the event being celebrated, namely, “Birthday and everything connected with it.”

The first team thinks of a word on a given topic, and the leader of the first team “tete-a-tete” tells this word to the leader of the other team, and he, in turn, must try to portray this word with the help of facial expressions, gestures and other body movements to his players in the team . Those guessing have the right to ask him questions, and the presenter can nod his head to show whether they are thinking correctly or wrong.

You have 3 minutes to guess the word. If the players fail to complete the task, they are fined - to sing a song in honor of the birthday boy!

"Find the pin"

A couple (not necessarily of opposite sexes) is selected to participate in the competition. The players stand opposite each other. The presenter blindfolds them, after which a large pin is attached to the clothes of each participant. Players need to find the pin on their opponent’s clothes as quickly as possible, but at the same time try not to give away theirs.

“Feed me some porridge”

The players are divided into pairs - a man and a woman, they are blindfolded. The task of women is to feed their companions with semolina or any other porridge. The first couple to complete the task wins the competition.

"Turnip of the new millennium"

Three young men and three girls are invited to participate in the competition. The stronger sex sits in one line on the fifth point, spreading its legs and bending them at the knees, or simply crossing them, with their hands resting on the floor behind their backs - these will be “beds”. The girls sit next to the young men either between them or on their crossed legs. Girls are now "turnips". It is advisable for the “turnips” to hold their hands in front of them, bending them at the elbows and clasping their fingers. The presenter will be a “Michurinite”: he must walk between the “beds” and try to lull their vigilance with conversations. As soon as the “beds” are distracted, the “Michurinets” must try to pull out the “turnip” from the “beds”. At the same time, the man - the “bed” must have time, removing his hands from behind his back, to grab the “turnip” without giving it away, thereby giving it to the “Michurin man”. Why he will grab the “turnip” - that’s how it will turn out!

"Roll the Egg"

To play the game you need a raw egg and a pair of participants - a girl and a young man. The essence of the game is that the participant and the participant must roll this egg through each other's clothes. In this case, you need to roll the egg according to certain rules: the young man rolls the egg through the girl’s blouse or dress (from the right sleeve to the left sleeve), and the girl rolls the egg through her trousers for her partner (respectively, from the edge of the right trouser leg to the edge of the left trouser leg).

Not to mention the sensitivity of this game, players need to follow two rules.

Firstly, you need to hold the egg firmly with your palm, as it may fall and break!

Secondly, do not squeeze the egg too hard: there is a risk of crushing it, which will be, perhaps, even more unpleasant than dropping it. In any case, fishing out a crushed raw egg from a trouser leg or sleeve is painstaking work and not very pleasant, since in this case a lot of washing cannot be avoided anyway.

It would be better if the players still manage to show dexterity sufficient to avoid such unpleasant consequences...

"Let's get to know each other better"

The competition is ideal for a company of unfamiliar people. Anyone can participate in it, and the more participants, the better. Each of them goes to the middle of the hall and stands so that all guests can clearly see him, after which he begins a detailed story about himself. He says everything he considers necessary, however... he does not utter a single word. You ask how is this? It’s very simple: with facial expressions, gestures, words, whatever you like, but only without the help of words. And don’t be cunning: writing about yourself on paper and letting guests read it is strictly prohibited!

The one whose “story” the guests will like more than others, whose story about himself turns out to be the most amusing and interesting, is declared the winner and receives a prize.

"Three cherished phrases"

The host confidently declares that none of the guests will be able to repeat three short phrases after him: they are not so sober anymore.

As a rule, guests begin to object, saying that they will make it easy. To interrupt the discussion, which is still being conducted “in an amicable way,” the presenter selects five or six people from among the most zealous debaters in order to find out their oratorical abilities and prove that they are right.

The presenter, pretending that he is finding words with great difficulty, thoughtfully says: “The weather is wonderful today.” The participants in the game, of course, easily repeat this short phrase after him. The presenter allegedly becomes embarrassed and utters another phrase, more hesitantly and thoughtfully: “The sun is shining brightly.” Participants in the game repeat this phrase as easily as the first. And now the presenter joyfully exclaims: “But that’s wrong!” The guests are confused, a clarification begins, which threatens to drag on. Having chosen a convenient moment, the host admits that “But this is wrong!” and was the third simple phrase he spoke.

"Waitress and Client"

A couple is selected for the competition: a man and a woman. The presenter blindfolds both participants, after which the woman (she will be a waitress) is given a glass of vodka and a sandwich, and the man (he plays the role of a client) is seated on a chair.

When the preparations are completed, the “client” will have to “place an order” by saying the signature words: “Waiter! Vodka!

The essence of the game is that a blindfolded “waiter” must drink and feed his “client”, who also cannot see anything. To do this, of course, will be very difficult. So smearing the “client” in sandwich paste cannot be avoided. I can only advise you to take something for such a sandwich that is not too dirty or, at worst, is easy to wash.

Instead of vodka, you can take any drink.

It seems that when the guests gather to watch the video, the “client” and the “waitress”, who did not see each other during the game, will laugh the loudest.

Funny tasks and games will help you not only have fun, but also get to know each other better, which is especially important in a company where there are many new characters. It is better to select competitions in advance, taking into account the composition of the company and its preferences. And there’s so much to choose from!

In the first part of the article, we offer cool funny competitions for a cheerful company at the table. Funny forfeits, questions, games - all this will help break the ice in an unfamiliar environment and have a fun and useful time. Competitions may require additional props, so it is better to resolve this issue in advance.

“Why are you here?”

The competition is held at the beginning of each event. It is necessary to prepare a comic answer to the question “Why did you come to this holiday?” on several pieces of paper. These answers may vary:

  • free food;
  • look at people and show yourself;
  • no place to sleep;
  • the owner of the house owes me money;
  • I was bored at home;
  • I'm afraid to be alone at home.

All the papers with the answers are put into a bag, and each guest in turn takes out a note and asks a question loudly, and then reads the answer.

"Picasso"

You must play without leaving the table and already drunk, which will add a special piquancy to the competition. Identical drawings that have unfinished details should be prepared in advance.

You can make the drawings completely identical and not finish drawing the same parts, or you can leave different details unfinished. The main thing is that the idea of ​​the drawing is the same. Reproduce sheets with pictures in advance using a printer or manually.

The guests' task is simple - finish the drawings the way they want, but use only their left hand (right if the person is left-handed).

The winner is chosen by the entire company by voting.

"Journalist"

This competition is designed to allow people around the table to get to know each other better, especially if many of them are seeing each other for the first time. You will need to prepare a box in advance with pieces of paper on which to write questions in advance.

The box is passed around the circle, and each guest pulls out a question and answers it as truthfully as possible. The questions can be different, the main thing is not to ask too frank so that the person does not feel uncomfortable:

You can come up with a large number of questions, funny and serious, the main thing is to create a relaxed atmosphere in the company.

"Where I am"

You should prepare clean sheets of paper and pens in advance according to the number of guests. On each piece of paper, each guest must describe his appearance in words: thin lips, beautiful eyes, a wide smile, a birthmark on his cheek, etc.

Then all the leaves are collected and placed in one container. The presenter takes out sheets of paper one by one and reads aloud the description of the person, and the whole company must guess it. But each guest can name only one person, and the one who guesses the most wins and receives a symbolic prize.

"I"

The rules of this game are extremely simple: the company sits in a circle so that all participants can clearly see each other’s eyes. The first person says the word “I”, and after him everyone repeats the same word in turn.

Initially it is simple, but the main rule is not to laugh and not to miss your turn. At first, everything is simple and not funny, but you can pronounce the word “I” in different intonations and lines to make the company laugh.

When someone laughs or misses their turn, the whole company chooses a name for this player and then he says not only “I”, but also the word that was assigned to him. Now it will be more difficult not to laugh, because when an adult man sits next to you and says in a squeaky voice: “I am a flower,” it is very difficult not to laugh and gradually all the guests will have funny nicknames.

For laughter and for a forgotten word, a nickname is again assigned. The funnier the nicknames are, the faster everyone will laugh. The one who finishes the game with the smallest nickname wins.

"Associations"

All guests are in a line next to each other. The first player starts and speaks any word into his neighbor’s ear. His neighbor continues and in his neighbor’s ear he speaks his association with the word he heard. And so all the participants go in a circle.

Example: The first one says “apple”, the neighbor passes on the word association “juice”, then there may be “fruit” - “garden” - “vegetables” - “salad” - “bowl” - “dishes” - “kitchen” and so on . After all participants have said the association and the circle returns to the first player, he says his association out loud.

Now the main task of the guests is to guess the topic and the original word that was at the very beginning.

Each player can express his thoughts only once, but not say his own word. All players must guess every association word; if they fail, the game simply starts over, but with a different participant.

"Sniper"

The whole company sits in a circle so that they can clearly see each other's eyes. All players draw lots - these can be matches, coins or notes.

All the tokens for the lot are the same, except for one, which shows who will be the sniper. The lot must be drawn so that the players do not see what falls to whom. There should only be one sniper and he should not give himself away.

Sitting in a circle, the sniper chooses his victim in advance, and then carefully winks at her. The victim, noticing this, loudly shouts “Killed!” and leaves the game, but the victim must not give away the sniper.

The sniper must be extremely careful so that another participant does not notice his wink and call him. The players' goal is to identify and neutralize the killer.

However, this must be done by two players simultaneously pointing at the sniper. This game will require remarkable endurance and speed, as well as quick wits to identify the enemy and not be killed.

"Guess the Prize"

This game will be an excellent option for a birthday celebration, because it can be based on the name of the hero of the occasion. For each letter in the name of the birthday person, a prize is placed in an opaque bag, for example, the name Victor - the bag should contain 6 different small prizes for each letter of the name: a wafer, a toy, candy, a tulip, nuts, a belt.

Guests must guess each prize. The one who guesses and receives a gift. If the prizes are too intricate, then the host should give the guests tips.

This is a very easy competition that requires the preparation of additional props - pens and pieces of paper. First, the whole company is divided into pairs; this can be done randomly, by lot, or at will.

Everyone gets a pen and paper and writes any words. There can be from 10 to 20 words - real nouns, not made up ones.

All the pieces of paper are collected and placed in a box, and the game begins.

The first pair receives a box and one of the participants pulls out a piece of paper with a word. He tries to explain this word to his partner without mentioning it.

When he guesses the word, they proceed to the next one; the pair has no more than 30 seconds for the entire task. After the time has expired, the box moves on to the next pair.

The one who guesses as many words as possible wins. Thanks to this game, a good time is guaranteed!

"Buttons"

You should prepare a couple of buttons in advance - this is all the necessary props. As soon as the leader gives the command, the first participant places the button on the pad of his index finger and tries to pass it to his neighbor.

You cannot use other fingers or drop them, so you must pass them very carefully.

The button must go around a full circle, and the participants who drop it are eliminated. The winner is the one who never drops a button.

Simple comic competitions for a cheerful adult company at the table

Conditions written on a piece of paper are placed in the bag in advance: associate the toast with food (let life be all in chocolate), make a speech in a certain style (criminal speech, in the style of “The Hobbit”, stuttering, etc.), associate congratulations with animals ( flutter like a butterfly, be fragile like a moth, love devotedly like swans), say congratulations in poetry or in a foreign language, say a toast where all words begin with the same letter.

The list of tasks can be increased indefinitely, the main thing is that you have enough imagination.

"What I feel?"

You should prepare pieces of paper in advance on which emotions and feelings will be written: rage, love, anxiety, sympathy, flirting, indifference, fear or disdain. All pieces of paper must be in a bag or box.

All players position themselves so that their hands are touching and their eyes are closed. The first participant in the circle or row opens his eyes and pulls out a piece of paper with the name of the feeling from the bag.

He must convey this feeling to his neighbor by touching his hand in a certain way. You can gently stroke the hand, feigning tenderness, or hit, feigning anger.

Then there are two options: either the neighbor must guess the feeling out loud and draw out the next piece of paper with the feeling, or pass on the received feeling further. During the game, you can discuss emotions or play in complete silence.

"Where I am?"

One participant is selected from the company and seated on a chair in the center of the room so that his back is to everyone. A sign with inscriptions is attached to his back using tape.

They can be different: “Bathroom”, “Shop”, “Sobering-up station”, “Maternity room” and others.

The rest of the players should ask him leading questions: how often do you go there, why do you go there, for how long.

The main player must answer these questions and thereby make the company laugh. The players on the chair can change, as long as the company has fun!

"Ladle bowls"

All players sit in a circle. The presenter prepares in advance a box with forfeits, on which various kitchen utensils and attributes are written: forks, spoons, pots, etc.

Each player in turn must take out one forfeit and read its name. You can't name him to anyone. After all players receive the pieces of paper, they sit down or stand in a circle.

The presenter must ask the players, and the players must give the answer that they read on the piece of paper. For example, the question is “What are you sitting in?” the answer is “In a frying pan.” The questions can be different, the presenter’s task is to make the player laugh and then give him a task.

"Lottery"

This competition is good to hold in a women's company on March 8, but it is perfect for other events. Small pleasant prizes are prepared in advance and numbered.

Their numbers are written on pieces of paper and put in a bag. All participants in the event must pull out a piece of paper and take the prize. However, this can be turned into a game and the host must ask funny questions to the player. As a result, each guest will leave with a small nice prize.

"Greedy"

A bowl with small coins is placed in the center of the table. Each player has his own saucer. The presenter gives the players teaspoons or Chinese chopsticks.

At the signal, everyone begins to scoop coins out of the bowl and drag them to their plate. The presenter should warn in advance how much time the players will have for this task and give a sound signal after the time has elapsed. Afterwards, the presenter counts the coins on the saucer for each player and chooses the winner.

"Intuition"

This game is played in a drinking company, where people are not afraid to get drunk. One volunteer goes out the door and doesn’t peek. The group places 3-4 glasses on the table and fills them so that one contains vodka and all the others contain water.

Volunteers are welcome. He should intuitively choose a glass of vodka and drink it with water. Whether he will be able to find the right pile depends on his intuition.

"Forks"

A plate is placed on the table and a random object is placed in it. The volunteer is blindfolded and given two forks. He is brought to the table and given time so that he can feel the object with forks and identify it.

You can ask questions, but they should only be answered with “Yes” or “No.” Questions can help the player determine whether an item is edible, whether it can be used to wash their hands or brush their teeth, etc.

The presenter should prepare in advance two forks, a blindfold and items: an orange, candy, a toothbrush, a sponge for washing dishes, a coin, an elastic band, a jewelry box.

This is a famous game that came from America. You don't need tape or sheets of paper, or a marker.

You can use sticky stickers, but check in advance whether they will stick well to the skin. Each participant writes any person or animal on a piece of paper.

These can be celebrities, movie or book characters, or ordinary people. All the pieces of paper are put into a bag and the presenter mixes them. Then all participants sit in a circle and the leader, passing by each one, sticks a piece of paper with an inscription on his forehead.

Each participant has a piece of paper with an inscription attached to their forehead using tape. The players' task is to find out who they are by asking leading questions in turn: “Am I a celebrity?”, “Am I a man?” Questions should be structured so that they can be answered in monosyllables. The one who guesses the character first wins.
