Cool and interesting competitions will help your holiday guests have a good time. Original jokes and tasks with surprises will set a positive dynamic for the evening and amuse the company. Interesting quizzes will diversify the feast and will not let everyone present at the gala event get bored.
Game "Plaid"
Prank game. From all the guests of the holiday, 1 bravest person is chosen. It's better if it's a man. He sits in a circle on the floor (on which you first need to lay some kind of rug) and covers his head with an ordinary blanket.
The host says that his task is to guess the wardrobe item (the name of the item he is wearing) that all the guests have guessed. After the word “made a wish” is heard, the participant begins to name things one by one (for example, a shirt). If he guessed wrong, he must take off this element of his wardrobe.
The essence of the game is that the blanket itself is initially made into a mystery. But while the participant guesses, he remains sitting under this blanket completely naked.
Everyone can participate in the competition. They are divided equally into 2 groups. Players from both teams stand next to each other and receive pens and sheets of paper. The leader approaches the last participants and shows them simple drawings(each team has its own picture).
The task of the player who saw the picture is to draw it by placing a sheet of paper on the back of the competitor standing in front. The participant who felt certain pen movements on his back draws on his sheet of paper what he thought the previous teammate had drawn. All players draw like this until the first team member creates his own picture.
At the end of the competition, the presenter looks at the result of the work done by each group of competitors and shows the original version of the picture. The team whose drawing is most similar to the original wins.
Everyone can participate in the competition. To carry it out, you need to prepare cards with different numbers(from 1 to 31). There should be at least 3 times more of them than participants. The competition is held at the table.
Each player takes turns drawing a card. For example, a participant comes across the number 17. He must remember any holiday, noisy feast, just interesting or funny story, which occurred on the 17th. You are given 1 minute to remember. If the player was unable to recall anything in his memory, he is eliminated.
The winner is the participant who manages to remember as much as possible more stories associated with the number he got.
Game "Neighbor's Laughter"
All guests of the holiday play. One volunteer becomes the presenter. This is where the game begins. The main task of each participant is to make his neighbor laugh. This can be done using strange and incomprehensible actions. For example, the presenter pulls his neighbor’s nose. That one - his neighbor and so on, until the last player. The participant who laughs while pulling his nose is eliminated. After the first round, the second stage of the game begins. On it, the leader can easily and painlessly bite his neighbor’s ear.
The game is played until only one, the most serious participant remains.
Game "Sharpness of Idea"
Creative game. 5 people are participating. Each player receives a simple pencil, a regular sheet of paper and a card with a task.
The participants' task is to draw what is written on the card in 5 minutes. After time, all the “artists” present their masterpieces to the public, without naming their main idea. Viewers must guess what is drawn. The winner is the player whose drawing the guests “decipher” faster than others.
Regardless of the occasion for which a cheerful adult company has gathered - an anniversary or just a birthday, it does not hurt the birthday person to prepare in advance. Of course, a good menu, suitable drinks, appropriate music are an important part of spending time together. But fun competitions for an adult company at the table or in nature will achieve a special effect.
The company may include both long-time friends and unfamiliar people. It is possible that informal communication is organized for people who are seeing each other for the first time. It could be people of different ages- men and women, boys and girls. No matter how the communication is supposed to be, having at least a conditional plan of action, including competitions for young people, quizzes for adults, funny jokes and theatrical performances, means ensuring the success of any event!
So, competitions for young people: students, schoolchildren, adults, young at heart!
Fun competition at the “Thoughts” table
Prepared in advance music selection, where the songs express desires or funny sayings. For example, “I am a chocolate bunny, I am an affectionate bastard...”, “And I am unmarried, someone really needs it..”, “It’s great that we are all gathered here today..”, etc. The host simply approaches each guest and puts a magic hat on his head, which can read thoughts.
Carbon Contest “Milk the Cow”
On a stick, chair... (whatever is more convenient for you) attach 1 medical ordinary glove for each participant in the competition, make tiny holes at the end of each finger and pour water into the glove. The participants' task is to milk the glove.
The delight is indescribable for both participants and spectators. (Especially if no one has seen how to milk a cow and the company drank a little). The mood will be through the roof!!!
Competition “Guess the Animal”
You need to prepare several photos in advance famous stars. Only one person participates in the competition - the presenter. The presenter selects a player from the audience, the player turns away, the presenter says - I show the audience a photo of the animal, and you ask leading questions, and we will all say yes or no. Everyone except the player sees the photo (for example, Dima Bilan in the photo), everyone starts laughing, and the player thinks that this is a funny animal and starts asking crazy questions:
– does he have a lot of fat or not?
-does he have horns?
Mobile competition for the company
Two large but equal teams are participating. Each participant ties an inflated balloon in the color of their team to their leg with a thread. The thread can be any length, although the longer the better. The balls must be on the floor. On command, everyone begins to destroy their opponents’ balls by stepping on them at the same time, preventing them from doing the same with their own. The owner of the burst ball steps aside and stops the battle. The winner is the team whose ball remains the last on the battlefield. Fun and not traumatic. Verified. By the way, each team can develop some kind of strategy and tactics for combat. And the balls may not be the same color in a team, but to successfully fight you need to know your partners well.
Competition for those who are thirsty (can be held outdoors) -)
We need to take about 10 plastic glasses, fill them in front of the competition participants with various drinks (both tasty and intentionally “spoiled” with the addition of salt, pepper or something like that, but most importantly compatible with life). Glasses are placed in a pile. Participants take turns throwing a ping pong ball into glasses and whichever glass the ball lands in, the contents of that glass are drunk.
Competition “Make a Wish”
Participants collect one item each, which is put into a bag. After which, one of the participants is blindfolded. The presenter pulls out things one by one, and the blindfolded player comes up with a task for the owner of the pulled out thing. Tasks can be very different: dance, sing a song, crawl under the table and moo, and so on.
Competition “Fairy tales with a modern twist”
Among the people invited to the birthday party, of course, there are representatives of various professions. Each of them is a professional in his field, and, of course, has a full set of terms and specific vocabulary, inherent in people his profession. Why not make sure that instead of boring and uninteresting professional conversations, guests make each other laugh? This is done simply.
Participants are given sheets of paper and given tasks: to present the contents to everyone famous fairy tales in professional language.
Imagine the fairy tale “Flint”, written in the style of a police report or a psychiatric medical history. A " The Scarlet Flower» as a description tourist route?
The author of the funniest fairy tale wins.
Competition “Guess the picture”

Writing competition (fun)
The players sit in circles and give everyone blank sheets papers and pens. The presenter asks the question: “Who?” Players write the names of their heroes at the top of the sheet. After this, fold the sheet so that what is written is not visible. After this, they pass the piece of paper to the neighbor on the right. The presenter asks: “Where did you go?” Everyone writes, folds the paper and passes it to the neighbor on the right. Presenter: “Why did he go there?”…. And so on. After this, the fun reading begins together.
An incendiary game “Let's dance!?”
Preparation is simple: a neckerchief is selected and the leader responsible for musical accompaniment. The main task of the presenter is to provide the competition with fast, fiery melodies that can excite the participants so that they want to perform the most fiery steps and pirouettes.
Everyone taking part in the entertainment becomes big circle. The first dancer is chosen. This may be the hero of the occasion; if there is none, you can decide by drawing lots or counting. The player stands in an improvised circle, a scarf is tied to him, the music is turned on, and everyone dances. After making a few or many movements, the dancer must transfer his attribute to another person standing in a circle. The scarf must be tied in a knot around the neck, and the “heir” must also be kissed. The new dancer takes the place of the previous one and performs his steps. The dance lasts as long as the musical accompaniment lasts. When the leader turns it off, the remaining dancer in the circle is taken by surprise and is forced to shout something like “ku-ka-re-ku.” The more unexpectedly the music stops, the more fun those present will have.
Competition “Dress each other”
This is a team game. Participants are divided into pairs.
Each couple chooses a pre-prepared package containing a set of clothes (the number and complexity of items must be the same). All participants in the game are blindfolded. On command, one of the pair must put clothes on the other from the package he received by touch in one minute. The winner is the couple that “gets dressed” faster and more correctly than the others.

The target can be a circle of cardboard on which a target is drawn. This circle with a target is attached to the “boar” on the belt in the lumbar region. The task of the “boar” is to run away and evade, and the task of the “hunters” is to hit this very target.
A certain time is recorded during which the game is played. It is advisable to limit the space for the game so that the game does not turn into a real hunt. The game must be played in a sober state. It is prohibited to hold a “boar” by teams of “hunters”.

Those interested are invited. And on command, to the accompaniment of fast music, each participant must take and hold as many balls as possible.
Competition “Try and Guess”

The participant tries to read it with expression (preferably it is an unfamiliar verse). The other participant needs to write down everything that he understood, and then read aloud what happened. As a result, its text is compared with the original. Instead of a bun, you can use another product that makes it difficult to pronounce words.
Competition “Overcome the Obstacle”
Two couples are invited to the stage. Chairs are placed and a rope is pulled between them. The guys' task is to pick up the girl and step over the rope.

As has already become clear, the pair that falls before the other pair loses.
Competition “Potato”
To participate in the competition you need 2 players and two empty packs of cigarettes. Ropes are tied to the players' belts, with a potato tied at the end.

Competition “Associations”
The participants of the game stand in a row or (everyone sits in a line, the main thing is to make it clear where the beginning is and where the end is). The first one utters two completely unrelated words. For example: wood and computer. The next player must connect the unconnected and describe the situation that could happen with these two items. For example, “The wife got tired of her husband constantly sitting at the computer, and he settled in a tree with him.” Then the same player says next word, for example, “Bed.” The third participant should add this word to this situation, for example, “Sleeping on a branch has become not as comfortable as on a bed.” And so on until the imagination is enough. You can complicate the game and add the following.

Number of players: any. Additionally: pre-prepared task cards, pens, paper. The essence of the game is to depict the given word (or group of words) with a drawing, and the quality of the drawing does not matter at all, the main thing here is to try to convey the meaning of your “creation” as quickly as possible.
The players are divided into two teams. The presenter invites representatives from each team in turn.

Guess who I'm talking about
Number of players: even. Additionally: notes for notes, pens (pencils), box (hat).
This is a simple and quite exciting competition for associative thinking and ingenuity, you can conduct it for festive table. The host distributes small pieces of paper and pens to all guests. They need to write on these pieces of paper the names of different famous personalities, characters from fairy tales, cartoons, etc. – 10-20 words each. Nobody peeks at each other. The leaves are rolled up and placed in a box (hat or something else) and mixed. Then the players split into pairs and take turns participating.
The presenter marks 1 minute with a stopwatch, the player of the first pair pulls out one piece of paper from the box and explains to his partner the identity that he got. The more in 1 minute a person can explain the hidden characters, and his partner can guess them, the better for their couple.
You can explain it any way you want, in any words, the most important thing is not to say the name of the character himself out loud; if you accidentally let it slip, the point is not counted. If the player cannot find the right wording or his partner cannot guess, then they have the right to get the next task.
What should you do if you come across the same name (and this will most likely happen)? Discuss in advance what to do in this case: whether the description can be repeated or not.
At the end, the results are summed up and the pair of players who have the most a large number of guessed characters.
Example. Let's say the player gets the following characters: Pushkin, Alla Pugacheva, Piglet, Koschey the Immortal. How can you quickly explain to the team? For example, like this: he wrote the novel “Eugene Onegin” (Pushkin); diva Russian stage(Alla Pugacheva), friend of Winnie the Pooh (Piglet), bony hero of fairy tales (Koschei the Immortal).
Try it, this game of intelligence is very exciting, everyone usually really likes it.
Secret thoughts
You need to prepare cards in advance with clippings from newspapers and magazines glued to them. Phrases could be as follows: “Why eat too much at night?”, or “It’s time to look for a rich sponsor.” The wittier they are, the better. During the game, the presenter with the words “What does Elena think about Olga?”, “What will Olga say in revenge?”, “What is Natalya embarrassed to say to Tatyana?” invites the girls to pull out a card at random and read out what is written there.
Remember and retell
This is a more complex version of the famous “broken phone” game.
The game involves one presenter and 5-8 players (the more, the merrier), the rest of the guests are spectators. The players walk out the door. The presenter calls the first of them and expressively, not too quickly, reads to him the previously prepared short story, consisting of 10-13 sentences. The first player’s task is to try to remember this text and retell it to the next player, who was previously behind the door. The second player, in turn, retells to the third what he managed to remember. And so on. Eventually last participant recounts the final interpretation to the audience. Usually (unless it's a gathering of geeks), the story changes a lot towards the end, so it's a lot of fun!
Barter
The host (hostess) of the party distributes opaque bags or envelopes to all guests, into which small items (beads, coins, small buttons, beans, etc.) are placed in advance, 15-20 pieces each. Then the game begins. Its essence: each participant walks around the room and invites his opponents to guess the number of objects in his fist, asking the question: “Even or odd?” If the opponent guesses correctly, he takes the items in the player's hand. Otherwise, he gives away the same number of items from his envelope. If the player has no items left, he is eliminated from the game. The game lasts 10-15 minutes, then the counting begins. The luckiest “merchant”—the player who has the largest number of items—wins.
Exactly the same
A couple is invited to participate in the game (the players of the pair are conventionally divided into “1” and “2”). Player “2” is led out of the door by the presenter’s assistant and blindfolded him. At this time, player “1” comes up with some unusual pose (you can stand, sit on a chair, or even lie down). When it is ready, it freezes in this position. Player "2" is brought in. His task is, blindfolded, to determine by touch the pose that player “1” took and copy it, i.e. depict it yourself. When he is ready, his eyes are opened. Everyone compares the results. The game can be played as a competition between pairs to see who can cope with the task better.
Groups
One of the participants in the game leaves the room, at which time everyone else is divided into 3-4 groups according to some characteristic, for example, by age, eye color, clothing details, etc. The returning player's task is to guess the sign that unites the groups.
Detective in search of hidden words
The game begins with the choice of a “detective”, then he is asked to leave the room for a while. At this time, the rest of the players think of a well-known proverb, saying or line from a famous poem (line from a song). Let’s say there is a proverb: “The truth hurts the eyes.” This text needs to be divided into three parts: “truth”, “eyes”, “pricks, pricks”. The “detective” returns and is told that a proverb is “hidden” (hidden) and that, when starting the search, he can ask any three questions to any three participants in the game.
The “detective” must guess that the text of the proverb is divided into three parts and that the first one to whom he turns with a question must insert the beginning of the hidden text into the response phrase, the second - the continuation, the third - the last part. Questions and answers can be anything, humor and originality are welcome!
Possible questions and answers:“How many months are there in a year?” - “Say by true, I did not count"; " Your favorite hobby?" - “I like to look eyes movie stars"; “What do elephants eat?” - “I don’t know what elephants eat, but squirrels can prick nuts."

When it comes to games for big company, many first of all remember the “Mafia”, which conquered the whole world and gained many fans. To play intellectual detective, you will need a deck of special cards, which you can purchase on the Internet or draw yourself. You can also create your own map templates and order their printing in any edition. Well, if the above options do not suit, take the most regular cards and agree with your friends what roles you will assign to them. For example: spades - Mafia, ace of spades - Mafia Boss, jack of hearts - Doctor, king of hearts - Commissioner and so on. To prevent players from spying on each other, it is advisable to wear masks or headbands as soon as the city falls asleep.
The essence of the game
There are three sides in the game: Mafia, Civilians and Maniac. The goal of the mafioso is to kill players at night and execute them during the day, posing as goodies. The goal of the Citizens is to find and execute the Mafia. A maniac is a willful person who kills everyone indiscriminately.
Characters
The classic version has active and passive characters. The leader is a passive character who does not influence the course of the game, but coordinates the actions of all its participants.
Evil characters: Mafia (consists of the Boss and his henchmen), Maniac.
Good characters: Commissioner, Doctor, Peaceful Citizens.
Peaceful Citizens are passive players: they sleep at night, but they can vote during the day, sending those they don’t like to prison. death penalty.
The mafia wakes up at night.
The Mafia Boss chooses the victim to be hit. If the Boss dies, another mafioso takes over his post.
The maniac strikes any player at night.
The commissioner can check any player at night. If the Mafia or Maniac came to this player, the Commissioner's check scares away the criminals, saving the player's life.
The Doctor also makes his move at night and can cure anyone (one player), canceling the killing move of the Mafia or Maniac.
Progress of the game
The game is divided into intervals - day and night. On the first day, the Host distributes cards to the players, after which the first night begins. On the first night (at the Leader’s command), the players wake up in turn, letting him know who has what role. The Mafia gets to know each other and finds out who got the role of Boss. All players wake up during the day. The presenter briefly describes the events of the past night. For example: “The Mafia struck, but the Commissioner’s visit scared off the bandits. The maniac brutally mocked his next victim all night, but the Doctor managed to save the poor fellow.” These clues allow players to figure out their opponent. This is followed by a vote, during which each player can propose a candidate for execution. By carefully studying the arguments and suspects, it is possible to identify the mafiosi, since they are usually unanimous in the day's voting. However, clever players know how to show off, accusing each other during the day (but only if a teammate is clearly not in danger of execution). After the execution, the card of the murdered person is revealed and everyone sees his role. Then night falls on the city and the active players make their move again. The game ends with the victory of the Peaceful if all Mafs and Maniacs are killed. The mafia wins when it remains in the majority. At lucky coincidence circumstances, the Maniac can win, left alone with a passive player.In addition to the classic plot, there are many various options games. We advise you to choose the most creative friend with an excellent sense of humor for the role of Host. In your competitions you can use references to various books and films. For example, a story about vampires and werewolves has become popular, where Count Dracula plays the role of the Boss, Dr. Frankenstein cures illnesses, and the Commissioner turns into Helsing or Buffy.

Progress of the game
You will need plastic cups, table, ping pong ball and beer. Lots of beer. Participants are divided into 2 teams. The judge pours the beer into glasses and places them equally on both sides of the table, lining up the glasses in a triangle shape.

If the ball lands in a glass, the player who hits drinks beer from this glass, removes the empty container from the table and gets the right to throw again. The team with the most accuracy, having emptied all the opponent's glasses, wins.Attention: students' favorite pastime can lead to alcohol poisoning. We advise you to take smaller glasses, so that later you won’t be excruciatingly painful for your aimlessly killed liver.
