Musical games for adults' birthdays. Happy people train

Funny, amusing competitions will allow you to have a good rest and have fun at the New Year's party. For the presenters, who are tasked with organizing the entertainment part, we offer an original selection of games, competitions and quizzes for the scenario of a festive corporate party!

To make the New Year's holiday more successful, we have made for you a selection of the most interesting competitions and fun.

Table

To begin with, we propose to include cool competitions at the table in the program of the New Year's corporate party at work.

What will Santa Claus give?

Attributes: small pieces of paper, pens (or pencils).

Before sitting down to the festive table, guests receive a small piece of paper and write down what gift they would like to wish for themselves in the new year. This could be, for example, a new apartment, a car, a dog, a trip, money, a lover...

The leaves are rolled up into a tube and placed in a beautiful box, a hat... At some point in the evening, the host asks everyone to pull out a random piece of paper and find out what good Santa Claus has prepared for him for the next year. Everyone has different desires, so it will be fun! And your wish will come true if you save the piece of paper until the next holiday, and then tell about what came true.

I want, I want, I want!... Branded want

Another game about wishes. But this time without attributes.

5-7 volunteers are called. They take turns naming their wish for next year. You need to speak quickly, without holding up the line! Stopping for more than 5 seconds means the player is eliminated. We play until we win - until the last player! (Small prize possible).

Let's raise a glass! New Year's toasts

When guests get bored in the midst of a feast, invite them not just to fill their glasses, but to make a toast or congratulations to everyone present.

There are two conditions - each speech must be one sentence long and begin with the letters of the alphabet in order!

For example:

The most fun moment is when the letters e, e, yu, y, s come into play.

“I’ll sing about Frost!” Compose a ditty

During the evening, those who wish must write and then present to the audience a ditty, which contains New Year’s words or themes pre-set by the presenter. It could be “New Year, Father Frost, Snow Maiden.”

You can compose awkward songs - with the last line unrhymed, but maintaining the given rhythm of the ditty. Example:

Hello, red Santa Claus
you brought us gifts!
The most important - ten days
Let's just relax.

Snow news

Attributes: Cards with word-nouns. There are 5 completely unrelated nouns written on the cards. It is advisable to include at least 1 winter word there.

The participant draws out a card, reads out loud the given words and within 30 seconds (although if those present at the party are already, well, very tired, then 1 minute is possible) comes up with a news story from one sentence. And all the words from the card should fit in it.

Nouns can be turned into other parts of speech (adjectives, verbs, adverbs...) and changed as you like, and the news must certainly be interesting and funny.

You can start the news with the words “Sensation!”

For example:

Fun guaranteed!

I like/don't like my neighbor

The game does not require any improvised means! But it requires a sufficient degree of emancipation or relaxed relationships in the team.

The presenter invites everyone present to name which part of the body (can be clothing) they like about the person sitting on the left, and which they don’t like. For example: “My neighbor on the right, I like his left ear and don’t like his bulging pocket.”

After everyone has named and remembered what was said, the presenter asks to kiss (or stroke) what they like and bite (or spank) what they don’t like.

Not everyone can play, but only 6-8 brave ones are called into the circle.

Our friend is orange!

This game can be played at a New Year's party in the office only if all colleagues know each other well. Or at least everyone has a friend or girlfriend in the team.

The presenter thinks of a person from those present at the table. And the participants, with the help of leading questions, try to guess who it is.

But the questions are not simple - they are associations! Whoever guesses first wins.

The questions are something like this:

Yin-yang cones

Attributes: 2 cones - one painted white, the other black. If you have nothing to dye with, you can wrap them with colored woolen threads of the desired color.

The course of the fun: a host is selected from among the guests, who will have these two cones. They are signals of his answers, because he is not allowed to speak at all. He thinks of a word, and the others, with the help of leading questions, try to guess what he has in mind.

The whole secret is that he can only silently show: YES - this is a white lump, NO - black. If neither this nor that, he can lift both at once.

The first one to guess correctly wins.

Associations on paper. Broken telephone associations

Attributes of the players: paper and pen.

The first person writes any noun word on his piece of paper and speaks it quietly into his neighbor’s ear. He comes up with his own association for this word, writes it down and whispers it to the next person.

This is how associations are transmitted along the chain... The last one speaks out loud the word given to him. It is compared with the original source and it is fun to find out at which link in the chain of associations the failure occurred: everyone reads out their nouns.

funny neighbor

Any number of guests can play.

We stand in a circle, and the driver begins: he performs an action with his neighbor that will make him laugh. He can take him by the ear, pat him on the shoulders, tap him on the nose, flick his hand, touch his knee... Everyone standing in the circle must repeat the same movement with their neighbor.

The one who laughs is eliminated.

Then the driver makes the next movement, everyone repeats. If no one laughed, new movement. And so on until the last “Nesmeyana”.

New Year's rhyme machine

The driver reads out little-known New Year/winter quatrains. But he only says the first 2 lines out loud.

The rest are invited to take part in a competition for the best rhymer.

The guests come up with and rhyme the last two lines. Then the funniest and most original poet is selected, and then the original poem is read out amid general laughter and joy.

Drawing competition “I see, I see New Year!”

Those who wish are given A-4 sheets of free-form lines and felt-tip pens. Everyone has the same image (copier can help you).

The task is to complete a picture on a New Year's theme.

Of course, everyone knows who in the team is best versed in painting. So he or she will evaluate the results. Whoever is more interesting is the winner! There can be many winners - it’s a holiday!

Movable

Nimble bump

Attributes: pine or fir cones.

Progress of the game: guests can either sit at the table or stand in a circle (if they have been sitting too long by this time). The task is to pass the cone to each other. The condition is that you can transmit it only by holding it on the back of your two palms. Try it, it's quite difficult... But also fun!

You can also divide into equal teams, and whichever one hands over its cone faster wins.

My Frost is the most beautiful!

You will need various items such as: garlands, funny hats, scarves, beads, ribbons. socks, mittens, women's bags... Two or three ladies who want to be in the role of Snow Maidens for a few minutes each choose a man to turn him into Father Frost.

From items prepared in advance on the table, the Snow Maidens create a cheerful image of their hero. In principle, you can end here by choosing the most successful and funniest model...

The Snow Maiden can take snowflakes for herself, which will help with the “design” of Santa Claus and with advertising.

Snow paths

This is a very successful game to determine pairs for subsequent New Year competitions.

Attributes: colored ribbons in winter shades (blue, light blue, silver...). Length 4-5 meters. It is necessary to cut the ribbons in half in advance and sew them together, mixing up the halves.

3-4 pairs of players are called. The presenter holds a basket/box, to which lie multi-colored ribbons, the ends of which hang down.

Players choose a pair and the color of the ribbon, expecting that there will be a single ribbon at the ends of the same color. But the fun is that the ribbons are sewn in different ways, and completely unexpected pairs are formed.

Happy people train

Everyone loves round dances: both small and large (and those who are embarrassed to admit it)!

Give your guests a round dance-train. It is clear that vacationers at a party may find it difficult to motivate themselves to participate in an active competition, so come up with branded chants for them.

The host drives the train around the hall, it fills and fills with guests. And when it is clear that no one else can be pulled out from behind the tables, train dances are arranged (the host can show them) to daring music.

New Year's fixed deposit

Attributes: candy wrapper money.

Two pairs are selected, each with a man and a woman. It is advisable for the men to be dressed approximately the same (if one has a jacket, then the other should also wear a jacket).

Dear women, the New Year is approaching, and you need to make a timely deposit in the bank. Here's some money for you (each of the women is given a pack of candy wrappers). These are initial payments. You will put them in the bank on a super fixed deposit. Your men are your banks. Only one condition - each “bill” is in a separate cell! Pockets, sleeves, collars, lapels and other secluded places can become cells. Contributions can be made while the music is playing. Just remember where you put your money. Let's start!

The task is given 1-2 minutes.

Attention! Intermediate check: whoever managed to make a full investment (not a single candy wrapper left in their hands) receives an additional point. All the money is in business!

And now, dear depositors, you must quickly withdraw cash - after all, we know that it was a super quick deposit. Each of you will be filming blindfolded, but you will always remember what you put and where. Music! Let's start!

We are actors no matter what!

Those who wish to participate are given cards with tasks. None of them knows in advance what they will have to face.

The presenter announces that the participants need to walk in front of everyone to the music, depicting what is written on the cards. Here is a sample list:

The tasks can be supplemented and expanded with any ideas.

Funny joke “Bear in a den or slow-witted spectators”

The presenter invites someone who wants to portray a pantomime, takes him to a separate room and gives him a “secret” task - to depict a bear (hare or kangaroo) without words.

Meanwhile, the presenter's assistant negotiates with the others NOT to understand his body movements.

The volunteer returns and begins to show the selected animal with movements and gestures. The guests pretend that they do not understand and call anything but the person they are shown.

Does he waddle around? Yes, this is the platypus (lame fox, tired boar)!
- Licking his paw? The cat is probably washing itself.
Etc.

It happens that the person portraying is surprised by the guests’ lack of understanding and begins to get angry: “Are you so stupid? It's so simple! And if he shows hellish patience, shows it again and again - he has nerves of iron! But this also amuses the employees gathered at the party. There is no need to delay. When the player begins to run out of imagination and patience, you can guess the correct animal.

3. Music competitions

Can you imagine the New Year without music, songs and dances? That's right, no! For additional entertainment and fun, many music competition games have been invented for the New Year's corporate party.

Scene “Clip-song”

This is the most creative musical fun for a New Year's corporate evening.

Prepare musical accompaniment in advance: songs about Father Frost, the Christmas tree, the Snow Maiden... and simple attributes that will help the players dress up (beads, hats, felt boots, scarves...)

The task is to make a corporate video for the song “The Little Christmas Tree is Cold in Winter.” We need an operator who will shoot a video clip on camera.

Participants, to the accompaniment of songs, begin to depict all the actions that are sung about: “the little gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree” - the hero is jumping, “they hung the beads” - the team hangs the beads on an improvised living “Christmas tree”.

Competition "Lazy Dancing"

The players sit in a circle on chairs and begin to dance to the cheerful New Year's music and song. But these are strange dances - no one gets up from their seats!

At the command of the leader, they dance with different parts of the body:

The rest choose the coolest dance.

Upside down song

This is a comic game that you can play at any time during the holiday. The presenter recites lines from a New Year/winter song, but with the words in reverse. The task of everyone is who can guess the original faster and sing it. The person who guesses correctly is given a chip (candy wrapper, candy, cone...) so that later it will be easier to count the winner in the entire competition.

The lines might look something like this:

The birch tree died in the steppe. - The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree.
- The old month is slow, nothing will happen for a long time. - The New Year is rushing towards us, everything will happen soon.
- White, white steam rose on the ground. - Blue-blue frost lay on the wires.
- One gray donkey, one gray donkey. - Three white horses, three white horses.
- A brave white wolf was sitting on a baobab tree. - The cowardly gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree.
- Keep quiet, Santa Claus, where are you going? - Tell me, Snow Maiden, where have you been?
- Read me a book about 1 hour. - I’ll sing you a song about five minutes.
- The huge palm tree is hot in the summer. – The little Christmas tree is cold in winter.
- The weights were removed and left the chain. - They hung the beads and began to dance in a circle.
- I was running away from you, Snow Maiden, and wiped away a bit of sweet smiles. - I was running after you, Santa Claus. I shed a lot of bitter tears.
- Oh, it’s hot, it’s hot, warm you up! Warm you and your camel. - Oh, frost, frost, don’t freeze me! Don't freeze me, my horse.
- Your worst acquisition is me. - My best gift is you.

Song competition “Musical hat of Santa Claus”

Attributes: put words from New Year's songs in the hat.

The players pass it around in a circle to the accompaniment of music. When the music stops, the person who received the hat at that moment takes out a card with the word and must remember/sing the piece of the song where it appears.

You can play in teams. Then the hat is passed from representative to representative of each team. You can limit the time it takes to complete a task and reward the team for every guess they make.

Dance by candlelight

A dynamic, but at the same time very calm and gentle dance competition.

Play slow music and encourage couples to light sparklers and dance. The couple whose fire burns longer wins and will receive a prize.

If you want to add spice to your dance, choose tango!

An old song in a new way

Print the lyrics of famous (not even New Year's) songs and prepare musical accompaniment without words (karaoke music).

This could be Karabas Barabas, the Snow Maiden, an evil policeman, a kind Baba Yaga, and even your boss.

Quietly loud

A well-known song is chosen, which all guests begin to sing in chorus.

On the command “Quiet!” sing a song to themselves. At the command “Loud!” out loud again.

And since everyone sang at their own pace, the loud choir begins with different words. And this is repeated several times, amusing everyone.

4. Team

Team games for the New Year's corporate party will once again strengthen team spirit and solidarity, serving as unscheduled team building.

Competition - relay race "Felt boots of Santa Claus"

Attributes: 2 pairs of extra-large felt boots (or one).

This game is played around the tree or around chairs in teams.

Those playing, at the driver’s signal or the sound of music, put on large felt boots and race around the tree (chairs). If you only have one pair of such winter shoes, then let the teams compete against the clock.

Don't drop the lump

Attributes: “snow” balls made from crumpled paper; large spoons (wooden possible).

Progress of the relay competition: two teams of equal numbers gather. At the command of the driver (or the sound of music), the first participants must quickly run around the room back and forth, carrying a lump in a spoon and trying not to drop it. Don't choose too long routes - just make a circle around the tree.

The difficulty is that the paper is light and tends to fall off to the floor all the time.

They play until the last person running in the team. Whoever is first wins!

The office wishes you a Happy New Year

Attributes: 2-3 sheets of whatman paper (depending on how many teams are playing), newspapers, magazines, glue and scissors.

In 10-15 minutes, teams must cut out words from the paper they are offered, paste them onto a piece of paper and compose an original New Year’s greeting to those present.

It should be a small, funny text. You can supplement the poster with clippings of pictures from the suggested magazines.

The most creative congratulation wins.

Beads for Christmas tree

Offer the teams paper clips in large quantities (it is advisable to choose multi-colored plastic ones). Task: in the allotted time (5 minutes, no more), long chains are assembled to the accompaniment of pleasant music.

Whoever ends up with beads longer than their opponents, that team wins.

Gather a team or “Friendly Mosaic”

The competition requires little preparation. You need to photograph the teams, print the photo on a printer and cut it into small pieces. The teams' task is to put together a photo of their team in the minimum amount of time.

Those who complete their puzzle faster win.

It is advisable that the photographs be large.

The snowman turns...

Two teams. Each has 4 participants and 8 balls (blue and white are possible). Each one has the large letters S_N_E_G_O_V_I_K written on it. The snowman “melts” and turns... into other words.

The driver asks simple riddles, and the players build guessed words from balls with letters.

The fastest players get points, and those with the most points win.

5. Bonus – competitions for an all-female team!

These games are suitable for a New Year's corporate party for doctors, teachers, or for a kindergarten.

Rope for the brave

This is a competition exclusively for adults. The guests are divided into two equal teams.

At the driver’s signal and to the accompaniment of lively music, the players take off parts of their clothes in order to knit a long, very long rope from them.

When “Stop!” sounds, the visibly undressed participants begin to measure the length of their clothing chains.

The longest one wins!

Let's dress up for the New Year! or “Dark Outfit”

Two participants stand near their chest/box/basket, which contain different items of clothing. They are first blindfolded, and then they must put on everything from the chest as quickly as possible.

Speed ​​and accuracy are valued. Although everyone has more fun because things get mixed up between the players.

Reverse Snow Queen

Inventory: ice cubes from the freezer.

Several contenders are selected for the crown of the Snow Queen. They pick up an ice cube and, on command, must melt it as quickly as possible, turning it into water.

You can give one at a time, or several ice cubes, putting them in bowls.

The first one to complete the task wins. She is awarded the title of "The Hottest Snow Queen".

Will Cinderella go to the New Year's ball?

In front of the two participants, mixed beans, peppers, rose hips, and peas are placed in a heap on plates (you can use any ingredients). The number of grains is small so that the game does not flow for too long (can be checked experimentally before the holiday).

After the players are blindfolded, they begin to sort the fruits into piles by touch. Whoever manages it first will go to the ball!

Pre-holiday bustle, shopping, preparations - all these are attributes of a birthday, or rather preparation for it. And so that the birthday itself does not fly by instantly and unnoticed, so that the guests do not yawn from boredom during philosophical conversations, one more item should be added to the preparations - musical competitions for the birthday.

You can hire a professional from the entertainment industry and completely rely on his taste, then your holiday will be filled with fun and will remain in the memory of your guests for a long time. You can come up with scenarios for birthday contests yourself, but you need to prepare for them very carefully. After all, they are the ones who must amuse the guests and not leave them time to yawn.

So, the birthday music competitions themselves, some of them are perfect for both children and children. Some can be delimited by age; the only thing that is necessary is the presence of a presenter.

Musical knowledge

In this competition, the host asks guests to remember and sing songs in the chosen category, for example, songs that contain a number:

  • First team - Five minutes
  • Second team – Argentina-Jamaica 5:0
  • First team - Where are my seventeen years...
  • Second team - Million Scarlet roses
  • First team – Our tenth airborne battalion

You can participate in the competition either in teams or individually. The winner is the team or player who last remembered and sang a song on a given topic.

Slurred singing

The presenter announces a competition for the best song, but there is a catch: you need to sing with several lollipops in your mouth. All participants take turns trying to reproduce their favorite song, which, understandably, does not work out very well for them. In this competition, two winners are usually announced: the first, whose song was nevertheless recognized, and the second, who made the guests laugh the most with his “incomparable” singing.

The most sensitive singer (singer)

At the beginning of the competition, a popular song is chosen so that all guests present know the words. Then the presenter notifies everyone that it must be performed by the choir, but with some conditions. At the moment of the leader’s clap, the guests stop singing out loud and sing the song to themselves; after the second clap, everyone begins to sing from the place where they think it is necessary. Someone is bound to lose track after a few claps, but in most cases, after the second clap, almost everyone starts singing different parts of the song.

Dance relay

Naturally, it is impossible to ignore birthday dance competitions, here is one of them. Participants line up in a circle, alternating between women and men. The presenter takes out a “magic wand” and holds it between his knees. And under, making dance movements, he passes it on to the next participant, standing face to face and always without using his hands. The one who accepts the baton passes it on and so on. After one circle, you should complicate the task, for example, the method of passing the stick: back to face, back to back, the main thing is that your hands are not involved in the passing process. The positive aspect of this competition is the “great photographs.”

Ode to the birthday boy

All guests should be divided into teams, the presenter gives each a sheet of paper. Participants need to honor the birthday boy, but with one condition: all words of the song must begin with the same letter. The birthday boy chooses a letter for each team separately. After the allotted time for composing, the teams must take turns performing their songs. The winner is determined by the birthday boy.

All birthday music competitions are good in their own way. Which one to choose for a particular celebration depends on the guests, their age and number. The main thing is that the competitions carry positivity and fun, both for the hero of the occasion and for his guests. And this will allow everyone to remember their childhood, carefree feelings, when everything was like in a fairy tale - after all, a birthday in childhood is associated only with these words.

And finally, watch a fun video of another competition that is suitable for any holiday:

Not a single special event can take place without musical accompaniment, especially when it comes to a wedding. With the help of music, both guests and newlyweds have the opportunity to relax and have a lot of fun. And it’s great if the entertainment program includes original music competitions, and their organization is approached responsibly. In this case, no one will remain indifferent: regardless of age and social status, if the repertoire is chosen correctly, everyone will want to take part in the game.

The beauty of holding music competitions at a wedding for guests and newlyweds is that games can be very different.

For young people

Young guests will probably like it more - cheerful, incendiary and arousing excitement. Two or more people can take part in them. But mass competitions where the maximum number of guests participate are especially successful: up to several dozen in each team.

Selecting active competitions, important to consider:

  • age and status of guests;
  • the place where the competition is planned to be held.

For small rooms and older guests

If there is not enough space in the hall or the overwhelming number of guests are elderly, then it is worth choosing song competitions. They will cheer up the newlyweds and guests and will definitely not let them get bored.


When holding table music competitions you can offer not only to sing songs, but also ask to perform simple team tasks– the right side of the table against the left, the table of the groom’s guests against the table of the bride’s guests, etc. Such games help those present to get to know each other better and create an atmosphere of joy and fun, which is so important at a wedding.

Preparation

In order for the competition to be successful, it is necessary to think about the smallest details, because if the music stops at the climax, it will not be easy to correct the mistake.

Equipment

If there is musical equipment in the establishment where the banquet is planned, then it is necessary to carefully check its condition and technical capabilities in advance.


You shouldn’t rely on the administrator’s assurances that “everything is fine.” It's better not to be lazy come to a cafe or restaurant first and check everything:

  • settings;
  • the number of electrical outlets required;
  • Are the wires long enough?

Props

If props are needed for wedding music competitions, they must be prepared in the required quantities. It's better to stock up on props in abundance than to then regret the lack. Take into account force majeure: something can break, tear, fly away, get wet, so a reserve will not hurt.

Repertoire

The age category of the guests must be taken into account. If the vast majority are older, then it is unlikely that those present will be delighted with Yegor Creed and club music.


It's great if you can find out in advance the musical preferences of the majority. It is not necessary to play his favorite song for everyone - with a large number of guests this is hardly possible. But if many people, for example, love Russian chanson, then the task of the organizers of the music competition becomes much easier.

Of course, it is unlikely that you will be able to choose a musical accompaniment that everyone would like at once. But if you study the preferences of the guests in advance, then their You can play your favorite melodies one by one or make a medley so that no one is left without their favorite song and wants to take part in the competition.

Cool TOP 11

Best Recognition

The essence of the competition is that guests compete to see who can type the most pleasant phrases (preferably from songs) for their other half. All this is done impromptu, to the tune of a playing melody.

Interesting! A loved one or loved one can also be imaginary. The newlyweds are given the role of judge.

The melodies chosen are very different - rhythmic, cheerful, sentimental. It turns out very interesting when the competition participants sing compliments to their other halves, and the music suddenly stops. In such a situation, the most important thing is not to get confused and continue the serenade!

Guess the melody

A well-known competition where guests must guess the melody. Despite the widespread Most guests perceive the offer to participate in this competition with liveliness and enthusiasm.


It will be interesting if you prepare in advance not just a melody, but musical recordings-confusions. For example, the words from the song “Everything for You” are heard with a completely different melody. The contestants' task is to guess which song's melody is included in such a phonogram.

turnip

As you know, the fairy-tale turnip was pulled by its “tail”; the same “tail” is not difficult to find in songs. The last words of each line of the first verse act as the tail. For example, in the typical song “Wedding” the last words sound like: “be silent...”, “sad”, “mochi...” and “silence...”.

Important! Not all songs are easy to guess, so you should prepare at least 10 options. You can make a selection of more, but you shouldn’t get carried away so as not to bore your guests with the monotony.

As for the “tails,” they are pre-written on beautiful cards and laid out on a tray. It is noteworthy that both teams and individual participants can play.

Song requests

Such a competition is very successful when requests from guests are prepared in advance. Applications are needed in order to understand what songs the guests want to perform. For example, the father-in-law loves the composition “Why the Soul Sings,” so he indicates it in advance in the application.


Such requests must be made in writing. It’s great if you manage to decorate them beautifully. Then the applications are laid out on the wedding table and await their turn.

When the feast had already begun and the guests were having fun, you can arrange a kind of sports lotto, when guests select one or another application. After the selection, the applicant’s request is voiced, and the guests perform the ordered song.

Brain workout

This competition can be classified as. Its advantage lies in the fact that It can be carried out both individually and for teams.

The toastmaster invites guests to sing all the songs that can be related to the wedding theme. The winner is the participant or team who sang the wedding song last.

Congratulations to the newlyweds

For such a table competition two teams needed.


The presenter gives each participant a sheet of paper with words, after which in 5 minutes you need to compose a song with congratulations for the newlyweds. You can only use words that are written on paper. And the winners of the competition are chosen by the heroes of the occasion.

Advice! Instead of composing the song again, you can remake a popular hit by inserting the resulting words into it.

Dance over the abyss

Guests should be divided into pairs, each pair is given a newspaper. Music plays and couples dance, but so as not to step over the edge of the newspaper.

After the first song, the newspaper is folded in half and the competition continues. The couple that steps over the edge of the newspaper is eliminated. The competition continues until there is only one couple left who managed to “dance over the abyss,” that is, not to step over the edge of the newspaper. She gets what she deserves.

Revelations

Teams must take part in such a competition, not individual participants, otherwise the competition will lose its entertainment value.

The essence of this cool competition is that the first team asks a question to its opponents with a line from a song. The second team’s task is to answer with a line from another song, and the meaning of the answer should correspond as much as possible to the question.

For example:

  • question: “Where are you, my dark-eyed one?”;
  • answer: “There, beyond the mists, eternal, drunken...”

Talking hat

The toastmaster brings a certain headdress to the bride’s head, which is supposedly capable of reading the newlywed’s thoughts. The toastmaster asks the bride what she is thinking about at the moment, and at this time music is broadcast that expresses the thoughts of the bride.

Interesting! Such a prank can be done not only with the bride, but also with all interested guests.

If organized properly, there is no doubt that everyone present will be in a festive mood. With the help of witty and sparkling jokes, funny puns, and the talent of the participants, the joyful atmosphere that is necessary at a wedding will be maintained. Such a holiday will be remembered for a long time by both guests and newlyweds.

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 a 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. These can 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

A musical selection is prepared in advance, where wishes or funny sayings are expressed in songs. For example, “I’m a chocolate bunny, I’m an affectionate bastard...”, “And I’m unmarried, someone really needs it..”, “It’s great that we’re all gathered here today..”, etc. The host simply approaches each guest and puts a magic hat on his head that can read thoughts.

Competition “Guess the Animal”

It is necessary to prepare several photographs of famous stars in advance. 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).

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 of 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 of well-known fairy tales in professional language.

The author of the funniest fairy tale wins.

Competition “Guess the picture”

Writing competition (fun)

The players sit in circles and everyone is given blank sheets of paper 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 and a presenter responsible for musical accompaniment are selected. 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 stands in a large 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. It's fun when there are two men in a couple and they get a bag of purely women's clothing!

To play you will need several teams of “hunters”, consisting of 3 people and one “boar”. The “hunters” are given cartridges (this can be any piece of paper) after which they try to hit the “boar”. 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 stuffs a huge piece of bun into his mouth in such a way that it is impossible to speak. After that, he receives a text that needs to be read. 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. After the first pair does this, the second pair does it too. Next you need to pick up the rope and repeat the task again. The rope will rise until one of the pairs completes the task.

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 objects. 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 the following word, for example, “Bed.” The third participant must add this word to this situation, for example, “Sleeping on a branch has become not as comfortable as sleeping on a bed.” And so on until the imagination is enough. You can complicate the game and add the following.
