For a woman, her fiftieth birthday is a serious anniversary, which at the same time is particularly fun. Just sitting at the table all the time is very boring. Therefore, various competitions come to the rescue. They can be held both at the table and during breaks, when guests get tired of endless toasts and eating snacks. Games and competitions will help you relax, indulge in fun and completely forget about age. For the winners, you definitely need to pick up small gifts, maybe comic or toy ones - medals, certificates, diplomas, and so on.
It's also interesting at the table
Does anyone remember what the hero of the day looks like?
When all the invitees had already gathered, the first enthusiasm for the meeting had subsided, several congratulatory toasts were made, and the first competition was announced, which could cheer everyone up. First of all, the hero of the day apologizes and goes into the next room or stands behind a rather large screen prepared in advance. The main thing is that none of the guests can see her.
Do you urgently need it, but ready-made options on the Internet do not suit you? We will tell you how to compose it yourself. From this you will learn which funny anniversary gifts are appropriate for a woman and which are not.
Now the presenter says the name of the competition and explains its rules. Guests take turns trying to remember and describe the birthday girl’s appearance., her hairstyle, jewelry, clothes, hairpin and other details. The winner is the participant who named the number of details most accurately and more than other players.
Let's remember Pinocchio
Only volunteers, mostly men, participate. Each person who agrees is given an empty matchbox. It must be placed tightly on the nose. At the command of the leader, players try using only facial muscles reset the boxes. Hands are prohibited. The fastest mime is declared the winner. It is more interesting and funnier to watch the attempts of those whom nature and parents have endowed with impressively sized noses.
Word auction
The presenter is a specific topic, for example, a compliment for the hero of the day or any other festive, anniversary topic. One by one, the guests name words that can be attributed to the designated topic. The most interesting thing begins somewhere after a dozen words, when they “end”. Then the participants develop a gambling streak, and everyone joins the game with great pleasure. The winner is the participant who says the last correct word.
Portrait fantasies
Option one. Everyone is given paper and pencils. They are asked to draw the most believable portrait of today's heroine. But you need to do this with the “wrong” hand: right-handers draw with their left, and left-handers do the opposite. Option two. Guests are divided into teams along the sides of the table or simply across tables if there are several of them. Each team is given one sheet of paper and a pencil. Participants each draw their own part of the face: one - eyes, another - nose, third - lips, and so on. Option three. Each person is given an inflated balloon, tape and a marker. A portrait can be drawn using various additional elements - dill from lettuce, a piece of carrot and others. Fourth option. The “portrait” task is somewhat more complicated. Now you need to draw not a portrait of today, but within the framework of certain conditions or a given circumstance. For example, a 5-year-old birthday girl, the smile of a hero of the day, etc.
Awarding the birthday girl
Each person is given a pencil and a “medal” blank - a round sheet of paper. For a limited time you need to come up with and draw a medal for the heroine of the holiday. Draw both sides. On the front side you need to write what the heroine is awarded for. The most interesting and original medal wins. The second version of this competition is a team competition. For each group are issued large number blanks and pencils according to the number of players. For a certain time, it is necessary to interestingly “reward” the birthday girl as many times as possible.
Harmony
It is advisable to spend it in a company where your closest friends have gathered for the anniversary. Married couples participate.
Each person is given a pen and two small pieces of paper. Everyone makes sure that the spouses do not agree. The man must write on his piece of paper from memory, without looking in his pocket or wallet, how much money he has with him. The wife writes her thoughts on the contents of her husband’s wallet in her own way. Then the written results are compared and checked to see how much money you actually have with you. The pair with all three numbers closest to each other wins.
Whose is better?
Everyone who wants to participate is given a newspaper (the same issue) and ordinary stationery scissors. In 30–40 seconds, participants must look through newspapers, choose, and then cut out a symbolic gift for today’s heroine. It could be just a word (health), a phrase (a million dollars), a picture (a car, a house). The winner is the participant whose gift the birthday girl liked the most..
Sorting team
Those sitting at the table are divided into groups. Each person is given a vase in which all kinds of sweets are mixed - small chocolates, lollipops, bagels, ordinary chocolates. Additionally, bags or paper envelopes are distributed in quantities equal to the number types of sweets in a vase. The presenter counts down the time during which the teams must put all types into different bags. The fastest team wins.
Active “anniversary” competitions
Piggy bank of the hero of the day
Empty space is required for the competition to take place. Each participant receives a coin to be placed on the toe of a boot or shoe. After ten meters there is a finish line (it can be lined with a ribbon or an ordinary rope), where there is a symbolic piggy bank. It can be just a liter empty jar. At the signal, the “race” begins. You need to run so that the coin never falls off your toe.. The one to whom this happened is eliminated. The most dexterous and fastest wins. The competition can be held in a team version in the form of a relay race. Then each team has its own piggy bank. The winners are those who were able to put the largest number of coins into the piggy bank within a certain time.
Which ones should I make? Remember - in such cases the main thing is not to overdo it with humor! From ours you will learn what additional table competitions you can come up with for your birthday. At this address you will read about how to compose a congratulations on the anniversary of a female colleague.
Damaged photocopier
Two teams must have an equal number of people, with a minimum of five people. They line up in lines, one looking at the back of the other's head. The very first ones are given a sheet of paper and a felt-tip pen. The presenter approaches the latter and secretly shows the same picture for everyone. After this, the last participant displays this picture on the back of the person in front with his finger. Then the next one, and so on - until the first one in the line, who draws what he understood on paper. The team whose final picture is most similar to the original wins.
Fishing
As equipment, you need to make several sets of paper fish in advance different colors, which are tied to strings. Participants are divided into two or three teams. Each member of the group has a fish of the color chosen by the team tied to the back of their belt. The length of the thread should be adjusted so that the fish barely reaches the floor. At the leader’s signal, everyone, trying not to touch their own, tries to step on the opponent’s fish in order to leave it lying on the floor. The winners are the team that still has fish left on their belts.
Rescue from thirst
The players are divided into two groups. At the same distance from each there is a table with an empty plastic bottle. The competition is held like a relay race. The first participant with two glasses (preferably also plastic) full of water in his hands jumps on one leg towards the bottle. Pours the remaining contents of the glasses into it. You need to go back by jumping on the other leg. The next one takes the baton, and so on until the end. The rescue group that fills their bottle the fastest wins. As one option, you can form doubles teams with men and women. The essence is the same, but now you don’t need to jump. The man takes one of the women in his arms. She keeps the glasses filled. The couple pours out their water and heads back. A woman is always in the arms of a man. The winners are determined, as in the previous version, by the speed of filling the container.
Changing places
Several participating couples are dancing. When the music stops, the man and woman in each couple must exchange an item of clothing. The couple that takes the longest to change clothes is eliminated. The rest continue and so on until only one pair remains. In addition to presenting a prize, its participants must certainly be praised for “such an original outfit.”
Let's put the puzzle together
Several teams of two or three people are given a photograph of the birthday girl cut into a puzzle. It is desirable that the photos are identical and cut into an equal number of elements. At the signal, everyone begins to put together their puzzle. The winner is the fastest team. As an option, you can give out a bag with letters that can be put into one phrase. This phrase should be relevant to congratulating the hero of the day. The essence of the competition, as in the previous one, is to compose your phrase faster.
Egg dinner
Pair competition for several people. Each willing couple is given one unpeeled, hard-boiled egg. Before this, everyone’s hands are tied behind their backs. Now, without freeing their hands, the couple must peel the egg and eat it as quickly as possible. The winner is the most “hungry” participants who finished it first.
Collective bullseye
Those wishing to participate in the competition line up in a circle. The first player is given an ordinary apple, which he squeezes well with his chin. Then, without using hands to help, the apple is also passed to the neighbor - from chin to chin. The one who drops it is eliminated. The winner is the last one left with the apple. The following competition can also be used to celebrate a woman’s anniversary; each eliminated participant will make a toast to the hero of the occasion. Watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kViTdRjbIvA
If the anniversary is boring, then such a holiday is not something that will not be remembered; no one else will come to visit you. Therefore, before celebrating an anniversary, you need to prepare for it. Come up with a plan for the whole holiday, sketch it out, so to speak small script. And you also need to come up with your own original and cool competitions for a woman's 50th birthday, which can be played at the table. If you come up with one or two competitions yourself, then you can take the rest from us. For you, we have prepared a selection of a variety of competitions that are played while sitting at the festive table.
Competition 1 - “Battle of the Sexes”
No, there is no need to dismantle the floors and fight with them. In this competition, men will compete against women. The presenter asks the women a question, and they answer it. And then the question is for men and the men must give the answer. But the questions are not simple: women are asked men's questions, and men are asked women's questions. Afterwards, whichever team gets the most correct answers congratulates the hero of the day.
ButAnd questions for women:
- a universal device that can be used to both hammer and cut? (Axe)
- in this game you can hit with a punch, a head and even a heel
(football)
- what is usually checked in the engine? (carburetor)
- construction device for precision (level)

- how to quickly dry applied nail polish? (blow on them)
Competition 2 - Compliments to the hero of the day
And this competition is only for men. Since our birthday girl is a woman, men should give her compliments. But not everything is so simple - compliments should begin with the letter Z. It is important here that the hero of the day herself has a sense of humor and does not take offense. Each man at the table takes turns giving his compliment. You can't repeat yourself. Anyone who could not name a compliment in five seconds is eliminated. In the end, the one who remains last wins.
Examples of compliments:
- cheerful; alive; desired; pearl; burning; babbling; and so on
But this competition has a continuation - women can also take turns complimenting men. And all compliments must begin with the letter M.
Here are examples of compliments:
- dreamy; magical; wise; mega super; cute; mighty; and so on.
Competition 3 - Guess the answer.
In this competition, guests have to guess the answer. You can ask each guest individually his own question. Or you can ask a question, and whoever gives the most original answer receives a prize or one point, and at the end of the day, whoever gets the most points wins.
Example of questions, answers and prizes:
1. Did he leave both his grandmother and his grandfather?
Answer: sex.

Competition 4 - Guess the movie.
Everyone loves watching films, especially Soviet ones. And in films they often drink very often. Do you drink on anniversaries? Of course yes! let's play - the host describes the film and the situation where they drink, and the guests must name the name of the film. Whoever names the most correct names wins the competition.
So, movie descriptions:
- friends are sitting in one of the Moscow baths on New Year's Eve. (Irony of fate or with light steam)
- a plumber, a drinker, drinking in a pub with a new acquaintance. As a result, his partner leaves the locksmith, and his new friend wakes up in the bathroom. (Afonya)
- three friends are having a drink with the manager of the trading base. And there they decide to go to work and come up with a name for their operation. (Operation "Y")
- one friend, or rather a comrade, brings another in the “Weeping Willow” restaurant to the desired condition. (Diamond Arm)
- it happened in the Caucasus. Or more precisely, on Gogol Street, 47. One lover of folklore got so drunk that he doesn’t remember what happened.
(Caucasian captive).
When people gather at the table good company, the party promises to be fun!
But the guests drank and ate... talked latest news from the lives of our loved ones and the country as a whole... we danced... and some prepared to be bored... But that was not the case!
Good hosts always have something in stock that will not only relieve boredom, but will also bring the guests of the holiday closer together, and will also be remembered by everyone for a long time with fun and humor - these are, of course, various competitions.
They are very different:
- movable (with and without objects),
- musical,
- drawing,
- verbal, etc.
Today I will introduce you to those that can be carried out without leaving the table.
NOTE! They can be performed in different options, change the rules, add items, increase or decrease the number of participants - in a word, take a creative approach to drawing up a program of fun and amusing table competitions for adult company sitting at the table.
Let's start with the simple - what's at hand (literally and figuratively!)
"The alphabet is near us"
The presenter names any letter of the alphabet, except four Y-Y-L-B(you can agree to exclude the letter E as well).
Players playing in a circle name objects - products - things starting with this letter, which are located directly next to them and which can be reached with their hand or touched.
Option! – add adjectives to the list of nouns: B - incomparable salad, incomparable lipstick (from a neighbor), endless pasta, C - nice vinaigrette, sugar cake...
The game continues until the words are exhausted. The last one to call wins.
Here's another game with letters.
"Burim in order"
Starting with the first letter of the alphabet, the players come up with a mini-congratulation (depending on the occasion of those gathered) or simply sentences that are appropriate for this holiday.
The phrase must first begin with the letter A, the next one with B, then C, and so on. It is advisable to come up with funny phrases like:
- How great it is that we have gathered today!
- It happened that...
- Here it is...
- Gentlemen...
Attention! What is important here is the sequence of letters in the alphabet and the meaning of the invented sentences. It is clear that some letters (ь-ъ-ы) are skipped.
The winner is the one who came up with the most funny phrase. Decided by unanimous vote.
There was the ABC - it was up to the poetry!
“Tell me what’s in the package!”
If there are people at the table who can write poetry (the level of poetry, of course, will be taken into account, but the main thing here is different), then offer the next competition.
Several poetry masters are given an item each, which is packed in an opaque fabric box-bag. They should quietly look at what they got and write a poem about the item. Guests listen and guess.
Important! You cannot name what is hidden, you can only describe its purpose in poetry, appearance…
The writer of the longest and most original piece wins.
Everyone loves fairy tales!
"Modern fairy tale"
Equipment: sheets of paper, pens.
The players are divided into two teams. Usually they are divided according to the “we sit next to each other” principle. Each chooses (option: the driver assigns) a profession. For example, cooks and truck drivers.
After 5-7 minutes of preparation, the teams must voice any fairy tale they have chosen (option - assigned by the driver) to modern style using professional vocabulary and terminology.
For example, the fairy tale of a brave cook begins with the words: “Once upon a time, grandma had a piece of ham worth two and a half kilos...” We advise the program compiler to come up with starting phrases in advance for different professions participants.
Everyone has fun! The winning team receives a prize: sweets, a bottle of champagne for everyone...
Try this too! It is not teams who play, but individual participants. Then more time is given for preparation, and the winner easier for guests will highlight.
Everyone’s favorite since childhood, “Broken Phone”
Here's what more people, the better.
The driver (or the first person sitting) thinks of a word (phrase), writes it on a piece of paper (for the purity of the experiment!))) and passes it along the chain, whispering in each other’s ears.
Everyone remembers that you need to whisper quietly and as close as possible to what you heard. The latter speaks the word out loud.
The funny thing begins at the moment when, if there is a mismatch between the input and output, a “showdown” begins - at what stage, for whom what went wrong.
Robot YES-NO
The host prepares cards in advance with the names of the animals and announces that the guests will guess them by asking any questions that he can answer only with the words YES-NO (in extreme cases, “I can’t say”).
The game continues until the animal is guessed and the presenter shows a card with the correct answer.
Questions can be about hair (short or long), about legs, about whether there is a tail (fluffy or smooth), about claws, a neck, about what it eats, where it sleeps, and so on.
Game option! It is not the animal that is being riddled, but the object. Then the questions will be about size, color, appearance, purpose, presence in the house or on the street, ability to pick it up, presence of numbers, presence of electricity in it...
Another version of the game is frivolous. You can wish for items from men's or women's wardrobes, underwear, or for the most daring, from the assortment of adult stores.
Competitions with paper
And here’s another game where the funniest thing is the mismatch.
Chipmunk Speaker
Props:
- nuts (or orange, or bread),
- paper,
- pen.
Those sitting at the table are divided into pairs: “speaker” and “stenographer”.
The “speaker” puts nuts (orange slices, a piece of bread) behind his cheeks so that it is difficult to speak. He is given a text (poetry or prose), which he needs to pronounce as clearly as possible (as far as the contents of the “cheek pouches” allow). The “stenographer” is trying to write down, as he understands, what he heard. Then it is compared with the “source”.
The winner is the couple whose “transcript” is the most correct.
Option! One “speaker” is selected, and everyone is recorded.
"Explain in 30 seconds"
- pens/pencils according to the number of players,
- small pieces of paper
- box/bag/hat.
We play like this:
- Guests are divided into pairs. It can be by lot, it can be at will, it can be next door at the table. Each pair is a team.
- Players receive pens/pencils and pieces of paper (each has several of them - 15-20).
- Everyone writes 15-20 (discuss this in advance with the players) of any nouns that come to mind: on one piece of paper - one noun.
- Leaves with words are hidden in a box/bag/hat.
- First, the first pair-team plays: they take turns taking out sheets of words and must explain to each other the word that they came across, but in no case naming the noun itself.
For example, the word “cart” is a horse-drawn carriage, “frying pan” is a pancake maker.
After the first word is guessed, you can take out a piece of paper with another.
You have 30 seconds to do everything. You can agree on a minute - depending on the state of the company)))
The number of words a team guesses, the number of points it will receive.
Then the turn passes to the other pair of players.
The time limit makes this competition spectacular, loud, noisy and fun!
The team that guesses the most words wins.
Fun table competitions with answers
Prepare: a box containing pieces of paper with various questions written on it.
Attention! In winter they can be made in the form of snowflakes, in summer in the form of apples, in autumn in the form of colored leaves, in spring they can be flowers.
We play like this:
Everyone takes turns pulling out paper pieces of paper with questions and answering them not only as truthfully as possible, but also funny.
Questions could be:
- What was your favorite toy as a child?
- What was your most memorable vacation?
- Have your New Year's wishes ever come true?
- What's the funniest thing that happened to you in childhood that you remember?
- What's the funniest purchase you've ever made?

- What did you dream about as a child and did it come true?
- What's the funniest prank you can remember?
- Do you love your housemates and why?
Questions for the story can be very different, taking into account the degree of frankness of the company.
The winner is the one whose story pleases the most guests.
Are you asking? I answer!
Let's prepare:
- cards with questions,
- answer cards,
- 2 boxes.
We play like this.
One box contains questions, the other contains answers.
The players sit down, if possible, alternating: man-woman-man-woman... This will make the answers more interesting!
The first player takes out a card with a question and reads it aloud to his neighbor at the table.
He takes, without looking into the box, the sheet with the answer and also reads it out.
Sometimes the question-answer coincidences are very funny)))
Questions could be like this (assuming that the company is close and everything is on a first-name basis):

Two truths and a lie
This fun competition at the table for an adult company does not require preparation. Best suited for a company where the participants do not know each other very well.
Each player must say three statements or facts about themselves. Two true, one false. Listeners vote to decide which one is false. If they guess correctly, the player (the liar) wins nothing. If you guess wrong, you receive a small prize.
Variant of this: everyone writes down their statements on pieces of paper, marking the false ones, give them to the presenter (the host of the party), and he reads them out in turn.
One more?
Several competitions for a drinking group that wants to become even more drunk.
Find the crocodile
This game can be played during other games, as an additional game. It essentially lasts the whole evening, but at the very beginning you need to tell the guests its rules.
At some point in the party, the host secretly gives one of the guests (the “hunter”) a clothespin (crocodile) and he must attach it discreetly to the clothes of a “victim” he has arbitrarily chosen (or put it in a lady’s purse or a man’s jacket pocket). Then he gives a sign to the leader that the task is completed.
As soon as the clothespin has found a new owner, the presenter says, “The crocodile has escaped!” Who did he get into? and starts counting out loud from 10 to one. Guests are looking to see if they are the target of a prank.
If, within 10 seconds of the countdown, the “victim” finds a lurking “crocodile hidden in a bag or clinging to his collar,” the “hunter” drinks the penalty glass. If he doesn’t find it, the “victim” must drink.
You can limit the search area (the crocodile only clings to clothing) or give it more time.
Drinking alphabet chain
To conduct the competition you need: glasses with your favorite drinks, memory for names and knowledge of the alphabet.
The game goes in circles. The first player names the celebrity's first and last name. The next person must also name a celebrity whose name begins with the first letter of the previous one.
To make it clearer, look at the example:
The first player makes a wish for Cameron Diaz. The second by Dmitry Kharatyan. Third Hugh Grant. The fourth is by Georgy Vitsin. And so on.
You can name any famous people, politicians, actors, athletes. A player who cannot find the correct name within 5 seconds (approximately) must drink his glass. Then the glass is filled, and the turn passes to the next player.
The longer the game lasts, the more difficult it is to select new names (you cannot repeat yourself), the fun and company are rapidly gaining degrees.
Insert your two cents
The organizer of the competition needs to prepare sheets with phrases that are far from the theme of the feast or birthday. Give each guest a card with a phrase at the very beginning of the party.
Phrases could be:
The task of each participant is to insert “their” phrase into the conversation so that others do not understand that this is a phrase from a piece of paper. After the player has said his phrase, he needs to wait a minute, after which he says “Win!!!” During this time, any other guest who, during the conversation, suspects that a phrase from the sheet was uttered can try to incriminate the player. He must repeat the phrase that he thinks was used. Of course, there is a chance that he will not guess correctly.
If the accuser makes a mistake, he drinks a “penalty glass.” If you guess correctly, then a penalty kick is awarded to the person who was caught using the phrase from the sheet.
Guess the brand
If the company name is included in the slogan, then you can shorten it. For example: Who goes where, and I (to Sberkassa). This slogan is included in the retro section of our list. In a young company, you can at least invite guests to guess whose advertising slogan it might be. You can come up with hints or several possible answers.
For example: Who goes where, and I... (at VDNKh, to Moskvoshway, to get married, to Sberbank).
Find your soul mate
If the company is about half women and men, then you can play this game. Although, it will fit, with some degree of conditionality, in other cases.
To do this, you need to prepare small cards in advance on which to write the names of famous couples. One name per card. For example:

Funny competition at the table “I read your mind”
In order for this competition to cause a lot of positive emotions and a storm of impressions, you will need to prepare a selection of funny excerpts from songs in advance. For example, these could be the phrases “And you are as cold as an iceberg in the ocean”, “And I am unmarried, someone really needs me”, “Everything that is unknown is terribly interesting, everything that is terribly unknown”, “ Now they will feed me, now I will eat. Porridge, porridge, porridge..." and the like.
The main telepath of the holiday is an old hat, which is placed one by one on the heads of the guests. It will be very funny if, before trying on the props, the presenter makes comments and interestingly plays out the lines from the cut.
Table game "Who are you?"
To hold the competition, you need to prepare cards with funny inscriptions characterizing this or that guest. Before reading the card, the presenter says: “Surely, you all think of yourself only in the best light. But now we will know the truth." Then he invites the guest to take out a piece of paper and read what he wrote out loud.
On each piece of paper you can write the following:
- “I’m wearing a Versace shirt, it looks decent, nothing less. I’ll also buy cologne, I’ll be just like Alain Delon.”
- “I’m beautiful, like a diva, who can argue with me here? I dance like a peahen and walk in a stately manner. Black your eyebrows, almost no dye on your hair - well, the princess is straight out of a fairy tale.”
- “Wow, I’m so punchy! Prosecutors, oligarchs, mayors - they are all my friends. It’s such a time now that you can’t go anywhere without a bribe.”
- “I’m not a simple man, I’m indecently cool. I change jeeps, Mercedes, foreign cars like a cowboy.”
Movement is life and fun

"Milk me"
This competition will cause indescribable delight among participants and ordinary spectators. To carry it out you will need:
- rope;
- two chairs;
- two basins;
- water;
- a pair of medical gloves.
We place the chairs at some distance from each other and pull the rope, where we need to tie the gloves pre-filled with water. You need to make a small hole in each finger of the glove. Two participants are selected from the guests, who, on command, must begin milking “their cow.” The one who completed the task faster than his opponent won.
"Oasis"
As props for this competition you need to prepare:
- disposable cups;
- water;
- salt;
- pepper;
- alcoholic drinks;
- sweet carbonated drinks;
- vinegar.
Before the eyes of the participants, glasses are filled with liquids, both tasty and not so tasty. Then the containers are mixed and placed in a row. Participants move away from the table at the same distance and try to hit the glass with a ping-pong ball. Whichever glass the ball fell into, the drink the participant must drink.
When the hero of the day is a woman
Of course, the hero of the occasion himself should take an active part in the birthday celebration. So, on a woman’s 45th birthday, you can hold cool congratulation competitions, where each participant can express their wishes.
"Noble Knights"
The men change into old shirts prepared in advance and stand in a row. The birthday girl approaches everyone with a tray of eggs, offers to choose one and break it on her forehead. Of course, all eggs must be boiled in advance, except one. The game becomes more fun the fewer props left in the basket.
"Love is a great feeling"
The hero of the occasion is asked to take a central place in the hall. The guests take turns naming those parts of her body that they think look most beautiful. When there are a lot of guests, completely non-standard answers come into play, for example, heart, liver or kidneys. But the funniest moment of the competition is when participants are asked to kiss the named part of the birthday girl’s body.
Congratulations competitions for men
Of course, the man cannot be left without attention. He is also supposed to come up with a couple of personal congratulation skits or competitive events. For example, for a man’s 30th birthday, these cool competitions are suitable.
"Spring cleaning"
Various-sized objects are placed in a small basin. This could be a men's razor, a tie, boots, a belt and a few women's things. The hero of the day needs to select one of the items by touch and quickly figure out how he would use it. Comments from the presenter are not needed here; the competition will turn out to be fun anyway when the birthday boy takes out tampons or curlers.
"Guess who you are"
A photograph of the hero of the day is printed on a separate sheet. The host asks him to go out to the guests and turn his back, and then shows them the image. After this, the presenter turns to the birthday boy: “I showed the guests a picture of an animal, and you try to guess who is there.” In this case, the birthday person asks leading questions, and the answer should be yes or no. After the first questions come, for example, “Does it have hooves?”, “Is this animal bald or furry?”, everyone will laugh.
