Interesting games with friends. The best mind games for advanced companies

A cheerful company gathered together in nature ... What was the reason for the meeting? Birthday, anniversary, alumni meeting, festive corporate party or just a friendly picnic with friends - in any case, this event should not be boring and ordinary. Having taken care of the treat, which will be especially appetizing in the fresh air, the organizer should not forget about the entertainment for the guests.

Companies are different: both reckless youth and respectable colleagues, but any team will not refuse to have fun by participating in competitions or at least watching them. The main thing is to choose and organize these competitions correctly!

We bring to your attention a large selection of various games and entertainment for outdoor activities among adults. Among them there are mobile, and more calm, and requiring work with the head, as well as harmless practical jokes. Choose those that are more suitable for your guests, you can combine several diverse ones. A festive mood is guaranteed to you long before the start of the meeting: while you are planning and preparing the props, you will involuntarily begin to tune in to a cheerful mood, and at the end of the holiday, the smiling faces of your friends in the photographs will remind you of your talent as an organizer.

Of course, for the winners you need to prepare memorable prizes and souvenirs.

And now - contests for every taste!

Various relay races

One of the most common mobile contests. Outdoors, there are even more opportunities for them. Relay races can be easily adapted to any "story", if the party is themed, for example, pirate, beach, etc.

You can run in turn for anything and with any tasks and obstacles. Here are some interesting options that differ from the standard type of running in bags or with the ball between the knees.

"Poured, drank, ate."

On the table for each team there is a glass, a full bottle and a sliced ​​lemon. Participants are divided into teams of 3 people, the first one should, having reached the table, pour a glass, the second one should drink, and the third one should have a bite of lemon. The glass does not have to be hot!

"Lastotrass".

The distance must be covered with fins, looking through binoculars turned upside down. The passage of the track will bring a lot of pleasure to the audience!

"Eyes".

For each team, a circle with a diameter of about 50 cm is drawn. The participants are blindfolded in turn, and they stand in the center of the circle. Task: take 8 steps out of the circle and return back. The team counts steps aloud. The next participant can start the task only if the previous one managed to return to the circle, and not miss or stop at the border - in this case, you will have to repeat! The team with the best eye, whose members completed the task faster than others, wins.

"Ouroboros".

If anyone does not know, this is a snake biting its own tail. Participants become a "train" by holding each other by the waist or putting their hand on the shoulder of the person in front. The first participant (the head of the snake) should try to catch the "tail" - the last participant. It's more fun to play with more people.

"Transmitters"

This is a kind of relay race in which you need to pass one object to another in various unusual ways. It is important not only that the object reaches the last participant faster, but also that the condition is correctly observed and the object does not fall.

Different options for what and how can be transmitted:

• ball under the chin;
• a stick, holding it with your feet;
• a book in the armpits;
• a button on the index finger;
• holding an egg with your backs or foreheads, lower it to the floor without breaking it (it is better to play on the sand).

Another interesting “transfer” with the host is the “Delicious Bagel” game. Players stand in a circle, the leader is in the middle. In the hands of the players, hidden behind their backs, is a bagel, which they pass around in a circle, and seizing a convenient moment, bite off a piece of it. The presenter must guess in whose hands the bagel is in, or catch the offender “on the hot” - while biting off.

If he did not succeed before the bagel was eaten, a forfeit is due from him! Instead of a bagel, you can take a cucumber.

Team games

You can divide the participants into groups according to various criteria: for example, the captains alternately choose their team members, or the boys against the girls. Here the winner will be not one person, but the whole team, so the prize for the victory should be either intended for each participant, or be symbolic, for example, a diploma, pennant, ribbons, wreaths of winners, etc.

You can, of course, play any sports game - beach volleyball, football, mini-golf, etc. But no less interesting can be comic contests, competitions, and not only sports!

"Wet serve".

Teams are separated from each other by a line (if available, you can use a volleyball or tennis net). In advance, you need to prepare balloons in which a little water is poured (an odd number, preferably 5-7). The balls are thrown into the game one by one.

Players must throw them to the opponent's side, trying to make the service become "wet" not in their half. The game lasts until the last ball, and then the number of puddles is counted. You can play on the beach or just in hot weather. A fun squeal is guaranteed in the girls' team!

"Ninos".

It is more effective if this game is played by young people against girls. The guys will be "rhinos": a "horn" is attached to their forehead - a piece of adhesive plaster pierced with a pushpin. And the girls need to tie a balloon around the waist so that it is in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe most piquant place.

The task is clear: the “rhinos” must pierce the balls, it is impossible to catch the girls with your hands. You can limit the place of the game and the time it lasts (for example, by playing music).

"Sharks of business".

A “poverty line” is drawn or marked with ropes on the ground - two lines at a distance of about 2-2.5 m. “Sharks” will swim in this “river of business”: at first there are only two people in their team, they must hold hands. The task of the rest of the participants is to overcome the “poverty line”. But while they are between the lines, the “sharks” can catch them, and then the participant will join them, extending the “sharks” chain.

"Telepaths".

Each team has 5 people. At the expense of "one, two, three" they must, without agreeing, raise any number of fingers on one hand. And then the rule comes into play: you need to throw out fingers until each team has either the same number for everyone, or a different number for each player, that is, from 1 to 5. We remind you that you can’t collude out loud! The team that manages to do it first wins.

The competition is able to unite the company and teach to understand each other without words. Another variation of this game is to line up in a certain position in 10 seconds (the presenter counts loudly): by height, by hair color from light to dark, build a triangle, “eight”, “circle inside a circle” ...

"Table".

Each team of 3-5 people led by the captain is given a melon and a knife. The task of each team is to cope with the treat as quickly as possible. The rules are as follows: the captain cuts and distributes, and he himself has the right to eat only the last slice. Instead of a melon, there can be a watermelon, a large apple, a pie.

Conductor at karaoke. You need a leader and two teams. Each team chooses a song that they know well. The host will conduct: thumbs up - singing aloud, down - to himself. The teams begin to sing at the same time, and the leader gives them signals when to sing silently, and when to turn on the voice again. Sometimes it may not happen at the same time. The downed player is out. In the end, the last "singer", the most attentive, will receive the main prize.

Pair games

Of course, only two will not necessarily participate in the game. It means that competitions are based on the interaction or opposition of two participants. But who will be these two - it will become clear during the game!

"Halves".

Couples participate - a guy and a girl. They cling with their elbows, and with their free hands (one of them has the left, the other has the right), they must perform some action, for example, put on mittens, tear the newspaper into small pieces, unwrap 2 candies and treat each other!

"Who is in front of me?"

The host is in the center of the circle of guests, he is blindfolded. The circle begins to move around the leader until he says "stop". Now he needs to approach the person who is opposite and try to find out who is in front of him. You can not introduce any restrictions, this is already a rather difficult task.

But if the company is close, it will be fun to identify a friend or girlfriend ... by smell, not using touch, or just by the hand. If the guess is correct, the recognized takes the place of the driver. If after 2 versions the friend is not identified, the circle rotates again.

The host sits on the rug in the middle of the circle, and in the circle there are guys and girls mixed up. Everyone, except the leader, is wearing a hat. Each girl tells one of the guys a color in the ear, and he tells her the name of the flower. The host announces, for example: “White rose!” If these words are not assigned to anyone, nothing happens, and the leader tries again. If there is only a "White" guy or a "Rose" girl, then they should put a hat on the leader and take his place. But if both are available, then they should try to put their hat on the leader, and if it doesn’t work out, then on the partner.

Who remains in his hat or no hat at all - leads. Spat…

"Duel".

Young people are always happy to fight for the glory of beautiful ladies. The duel will take place on the grass, on the sand or in a shallow pool. For the belt of swimming trunks or trousers of each participant, a long flap of fabric is plugged in the back, each participant has his own color. The rules are simple: you need to be the first to snatch the opponent's flap, not allowing him to snatch his own, and victoriously throw the "pennant" up, to the delight of the fans.

"Bottle Towns".

Teams of men participate in this competition, and the girls will have to be laughing spectators. First you need to build figures for knocking down from wooden blocks, boxes or empty plastic bottles and give them intriguing names. Each team must have the same number of figures (one for each participant).

Then an empty bottle is tied to the back of the participants by the belt of their trousers. The length of the rope is about 50 cm, hanging down, the bottle should not reach the ground. And now you need, swinging the bottle, knock down all the figures without using your hands.

Water games

Very often, companies gather on the beach, by the river or near the pool, combining relaxation with swimming. Many games can be played with the expectation that immediately after them it would be nice to take a dip!

"Shell Princess".

This game must be played on the sand. Together, rake up a large sandy mountain, on top of which lay a large shell or pebble. Then all the participants, sitting around the mountain, begin to slowly rake up the sand in their direction, until the “princess-shell” slides right into the hands of ... the loser.

"Minefield".

One of the participants lies down on the sand, and around him the other players put a pebble. Condition: pebbles should not touch the lying one. He must rise to his feet without hitting a single "mines". Of course, friendly advice is allowed!

"T-shirt for memory".

This is not a competition, but rather just fun entertainment. You will need spray paints and white t-shirts - 1 for each participant. Paint a T-shirt, as fantasy tells, give it to one of the guests (and another participant will give it to you), put it on - and run to take pictures. And from the holiday, a wonderful souvenir will remain as a keepsake!

"Aquagrim".

You can use ordinary gouache. Swimsuit-wearing guests pair up for a "simultaneous body art session". After that - a fashion show of each participant, a photo session and an immediate bath!

For an intellectual company. Not sport alone lively fun

Some people prefer not reckless fun, but games that make you be smart, logical thinking, mental alertness, and also develop these qualities with pleasure in joint games. Well, we have something to offer smart and smart girls!

"Keyboard".

Everyone is standing in a circle. Each is a letter on the keyboard (any, in order). Clap your hands - press the letter. All together clap twice - space. Punctuation marks are not printed. The leader, standing in a circle (he will monitor the correctness), comes up with a phrase for printing (proverb, line from a song, etc.). He commands who will start printing (“From Lena clockwise - they started!”).

If someone clapped out of tune, the presenter asks again “What word are you typing?”, Giving you the opportunity to correct yourself. If the "seal" is lost, it will start again, but without the confused player. The phrase will be able to finish the most attentive (sometimes there are only two of them) ...

"We throw balls and words."

Everyone stands in a circle, passing a ball or other object to each other. When giving the ball, everyone says any noun, and the taker must answer with the appropriate adjective or verb. For example, "Butterfly" - "Bright!" or "Flies!" Giving the ball further, you need to say a new word. Seems easy, doesn't it?

But the leader, standing in a circle, gradually increases the number of balls! So you have to work both with your hands (passing the balls) and your head (inventing words) at the same time, and do it quickly! An excellent training of thinking, besides, very cheerful and reckless.

"What's on the back?"

One participant draws the contours of some simple object (a house, an apple, a fish, etc.) on the back with another finger. Depending on what he felt, the participant tries to show this object to other guests without using words, and they must guess what was depicted on the back.

"Gwalt - encryption."

One of the participants steps aside, while the others take out a card from the envelope, each of which contains one of the words that make up a well-known proverb or a line from a song. Then the participant falls into a circle, where everyone begins to repeat only his word at the same time. In this hubbub, you need to try to make out all the words and put them into the desired line.

Prank games

Most often, the goal of these games is not victory, but the cheerful mood of spectators and participants. The only pity is that they cannot be repeated twice in the same company!

"Ropes".

Longer ropes are thrown over the bush, to the ends of which boxes with prizes are tied (it seems so at first glance). The host announces to the audience that they need to wind their rope around a stick as quickly as possible and get a prize.

The catch is that the guests will wind each other's ropes, only from different ends. And the prizes are tied with completely different ropes, the ends of which are securely hidden.

"Labyrinth".

Several obstacles are installed on the track - a stool, a bowl of water, a rope is pulled. The participant is asked to go through the maze - first, to train and memorize the route, with their eyes open, then they are blindfolded.

Everything is quickly removed from the track, and the participant, under the advice of laughing spectators, overcomes non-existent obstacles.

"Sandpaper".

Men are given a stick, the ends of which are covered with red paint for a length of 5 cm, and a piece of sandpaper. The task is to clean the stick of paint as quickly as possible. The game is especially popular after 5 shots.

"Strong breath".

A tennis ball is placed on a stool. Two are called to participate. The host asks them to simultaneously blow on the balloon from different directions. In whose direction he rolls, he lost - the breath must be strong.

After the participants have tried this a couple of times, the facilitator complicates the task by blindfolding the blowers. While they are taking in more air, the tennis ball is quickly replaced by... for example, a plate of flour!

More fun contests for everyone

These are competitive games that do not require division into teams: everyone can participate at the same time. In such games, there may well be a winner who deserves the main prize. The rest are just having fun!

"Sweet word".

You need to take turns saying a kind word to your neighbor. Whoever could not pick up an option that has not yet been heard in 5 seconds is out. The most affectionate - a prize and a kiss to the loser!

"Prize ball".

In advance, you need to inflate a lot of balloons, hide a piece of paper with the word "prize" in one of them. The rest can be empty or filled with water, confetti, etc. Hang balloons all over the site. Guests will pierce them until the prize paper is found.

"Into the piggy bank!"

Each player is given a jar - piggy bank, you can stick identification stickers on them. On the grass, stumps, the path, several handfuls of little things are scattered. Participants must collect it with bare feet and take it to their “piggy bank” - also, of course, without the help of hands. Who will be "richer"? Shows the end of the game.

Permanent hits

Simple and well-known games, loved by many companies, allowing the holiday to always go with a bang. Although they are not original, many conservatives prefer them to new notions. We will only remind you of some of them.

"A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it."

This game is always popular not only at adult holidays. It can be safely included in the program of outdoor games for children.

Each participant receives a role (pulls it out by lot) and some element of props. Then the facilitator begins to read the text of the tale, and everyone plays the role to the best of their imagination. Texts can be invented by yourself or found on the Internet, the main thing is that the words-names of roles in the fairy tale occur as often as possible.

It is especially interesting when there are many participants, and the distribution of roles is non-standard. Let them be received not only by the prince and princess, but also by the "horse" on which the prince rode, or the "balcony" on which the princess dreamed.

"Crocodile".

To show a certain word, song, movie without using speech ... What could be more exciting? It is better to play in teams so that one comes up with a riddle for a player from the other team, and he plays pantomime in front of his “friends”. You can prepare riddles in advance by writing them on cards, and pull them out at random.

Fant can be taken for losing in any previous contest or just take one thing from the players. Often, a hyped bottle is used to determine who to do the task. Well, the tasks themselves are in abundance on the Internet.

You can purchase ready-made Fanta for Adults sets on various topics, including frivolous ones, for every taste!

Mafia is a game of all time, suitable for both indoors and for a picnic.

You can come up with a lot of interesting things when going to an open-air meeting. As you can see, it is not at all necessary to turn it into an ordinary barbecue. Let it be fun and extraordinary.

To capture the most interesting moments, take care of the photographs. It is best to invite a photographer - after all, any guest, even if he is a maestro of the camera, will also want to participate in competitions. Choose, organize and have fun to the fullest!

Hat
All participants come up with ten words, write them on pieces of paper and put them in a hat. And then the fun begins: the players take turns trying to explain, show or draw the words they come across in a limited amount of time, and everyone else tries to guess them. The most successful receive victory points, honor, fame and a medal around the neck.

Associations
Everyone sits in a circle, and someone speaks any word in the ear of his neighbor, he must immediately say his first association to this word in the ear of the next one, the second says to the third, and so on, in a chain, until the word returns to the first. If from the "elephant" you get a "stripper" - consider that the game was a success.

get to know me
Several people sit in a row. The leader must, blindfolded, by touch recognize the hidden person in the sitting ones. Moreover, you can guess by different parts of the body - for example, by the arm, legs, hair, depending on how far everyone is ready to go.

Jenga
A tower is built from even wooden blocks, and the laying direction alternates at each level. Then the players take turns carefully pulling out one block at a time and placing it on top of the tower. All this must be done very carefully, otherwise the tower will collapse. The player, as a result of whose actions the collapse occurred, is considered the loser.

Crocodile
This is a popular game in which participants use gestures, movements and facial expressions to show a hidden word, while other players try to guess it. The driver is forbidden to pronounce any words or make sounds, use or point to surrounding objects, show letters or parts of a word. The lucky one, who guesses what it is about, in the next round he himself depicts the word, but already different.

Cucumber
One leader is selected, and all the rest become in a very close circle - literally shoulder to shoulder. Players' hands must be behind. The essence of the game is to imperceptibly pass a cucumber behind the backs of the host and, at every opportunity, bite off a piece of it. And the task of the presenter is to guess in whose hands the cucumber is. If the presenter guessed correctly, then the player caught by him takes his place. The game continues until the cucumber is eaten. It's very funny!

Contact
The host thinks of a word and calls the rest of the players the first letter of this word. For example, the word catastrophe is conceived - the first letter "K". Each of the other players comes up with a word that starts with that letter and tries to explain to the others what exactly they have in mind without naming it. If one of the players understood which word was intended by those who explained, then he says “There is a contact!” and both (the one explaining and responding) begin to count aloud to ten, and then each say his own word. If the word matched, then the leader calls the second letter of the word, and the game continues, only now you need to invent and explain the word with the initial letters already given. If the word did not match, then the players continue to try to come up with and explain a new word.

Danetki
Good old detective fun. Danetka is a word puzzle, a confusing or strange story, part of which the presenter tells, and the rest must restore the sequence of events. Questions can only be asked that can be answered with "Yes", "No" or "Irrelevant", hence the name of the game. Here you can find the most interesting "danetki".

I never...
With the help of this game you can get to know people better. The chips of this game are any items, such as coins, toothpicks, and so on. The game begins like this: the first participant says something that he has never done in his life (“I never ...”). All other participants in the game who did this must give one chip to this player. The winner is the one who, by the end of the game, has the most a large number of chips.

Secret Keeper
Very addictive and extremely mind-blowing game. The host thinks of a phrase, slogan or quote known to all participants. Names the number of words in it. Then the players ask the "keeper" any questions. Each answer must contain a word from the hidden phrase. The answer must fit in one sentence. Analyzing the facilitator's answers, the players give their version of the "secret".

Fanta
Good old children's game. The players collect one of any item, which are put into a bag. One player is blindfolded. The leader pulls out things in turn, and the blindfolded player comes up with a task for the pulled out thing, the owner of which must complete it. Tasks can be very different: sing a song, dance or walk the iron...

Regardless of the occasion for which a cheerful adult company gathered - an anniversary or just a birthday, it does not prevent the birthday person from preparing 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 can be both old friends and unfamiliar people. It is possible that informal communication is organized for people who generally see each other for the first time. It can be people of different ages - men and women, boys and girls. Whatever communication is supposed to have, having at least a conditional action plan, including competitions for young people, quizzes for adults, funny pranks and theatrical performances, means ensuring the success of any event!
So, contests for young people: students, schoolchildren, adults, young at heart!

Cheerful competition at the table “Thoughts”

A musical selection is prepared in advance, where desires or funny statements are expressed in songs. For example, “I am a chocolate hare, I am an affectionate bastard ...”, “And I am unmarried, someone really needs it ..”, “It's great that we all gathered here today ..”, etc. The host simply approaches each guest and puts a magical hat on his head that can read minds.

Carbon monoxide competition “Milk a cow”

On a stick, a chair ... (as you prefer), 1 ordinary medical glove is fixed for each participant in the competition, we make tiny holes at the end of each finger and pour water into the glove. The task of the participants is to milk the glove.
The delight is indescribable both among the participants and the spectators. (Especially if no one saw how to milk a cow and the company drank a little). The mood will be provided through the roof!

Contest “Guess the animal”

It is necessary to prepare several photos of famous stars in advance. Only one person participates in the competition - the host. The host chooses a player from the audience, the player turns away, the host 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 (in the photo, for example, Dima Bilan), everyone starts laughing, and the player thinks that this is a funny animal and starts asking carbon monoxide questions:
Does he have a lot of fat or not?
-Does he have horns?

Mobile competition for the company

Two large, but equal in number teams participate. Each of the participants ties an inflated balloon of the color of their team with a thread to their leg. The thread can be any length, although the longer the better. Balls must be on the floor. On command, everyone begins to destroy the opponents' balls, stepping on them, at the same time, preventing them from doing it with their own. The owner of the burst balloon steps aside and stops the battle. The winner is the team whose ball will be the last on the battlefield. Funny and not traumatic. Checked. By the way, each team can develop some kind of strategy and tactics of warfare. And the balls may not be of the same color in the team, but for a successful fight you need to know your partners well.

Competition for those who are thirsty (can be held in nature) -)

We need to take about 10 plastic glasses, fill them in front of the participants of the competition with various drinks (both tasty and deliberately “spoiled” with the addition of salt, pepper or something like that, but most importantly compatible with life). Glasses are stacked. Participants take turns throwing a ping-pong ball into glasses, and in which glass the ball hit, the contents of this glass are drunk.

Contest "Make a wish"

Participants collect one of any item, which are put into a bag. After that, one of the participants is blindfolded. The host pulls out things in turn, 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 mumble, and so on.

Competition “Fairy tales in a modern way”

Among the people invited to the birthday, of course, there are representatives of various professions. Each of them is a professional in his field, and, of course, has a complete 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 would not make each other laugh? This is done simply.
The participants are given sheets of paper and given tasks: to state the content of well-known fairy tales in professional language.
Imagine the fairy tale "Flint" written in the style of a police report or a psychiatric case history. And the "Scarlet Flower" in the form of a description of a tourist route?
The author of the funniest story wins.

Contest "Guess the picture"

The host shows the players a picture that is covered with a large sheet with a hole two to three centimeters in diameter in the middle. The facilitator moves the sheet around the picture. Participants must guess what is shown in the picture. Whoever guesses the fastest wins.

Writing competition (fun)

The player sits in circles and everyone is given blank sheets of paper and pens. The facilitator asks the question: “Who?”. Players write the names of their heroes at the top of the sheet. After that, the sheet is folded so that what is written is not visible. After that, pass the sheet to the neighbor on the right. The host asks: “Where did you go?”. Everyone writes, folds the sheet and passes it to the neighbor on the right. Host: “Why did he go there?”…. Etc. After that, a joint fun reading begins.

Incendiary game “Let's dance!?”

The 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, incendiary melodies that can make the participants want to perform the most incendiary pas and pirouettes.

Everyone taking part in the entertainment stand 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 lot or counting. The player stands in an impromptu circle, they tie a scarf around him, the music turns on, and everyone dances. Having made several or many movements, the dancer must transfer his attribute to another person standing in a circle. The scarf must be tied around the neck in a knot, and even kiss the "heir". The new dancer takes the place of the previous one and performs his steps. The dance continues as long as the musical accompaniment lasts. When the leader turns it off, the remaining dancer in the circle is caught off guard and forced to yell something like “co-ka-re-ku.” The more unexpectedly the music stops, the more fun it will be for those present.

Competition "Dress each other"

This is a team game. Participants are divided into pairs.
Each couple chooses a pre-prepared bag containing a set of clothes (it is necessary that the number and complexity of items be the same). All participants in the game are blindfolded. On command, one of the couple must feel the clothes on the other from the bag he got in one minute. The winner is the pair that “dresses” faster and more correctly than the others. It's fun when two men are in a couple and they get a bag with purely women's clothing!

Competition “Hunting for a wild boar”

For the game you will need several teams of "hunters", consisting of 3 people and one "boar". "Hunters" are given cartridges (it can be any pieces of paper) after which they try to get into the "boar". The target can be a circle of cardboard on which the 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 dodge, and the task of the "hunters" is to hit this very target.
A certain time is recorded during which the game is in progress. It is desirable 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 forbidden to hold the “boar” by the teams of “hunters”.

greedy

There are many balls scattered across the floor.
Those who wish are called. And on command, to fast music, each of the participants must take and hold as many balls as possible.

Competition “Try it, guess it”

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 the text that needs to be read. The participant tries to read it with expression (it is desirable that it be 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 with which it is difficult to pronounce words.

Competition "Overcome the obstacle"

Two couples are invited to the stage. Chairs are placed, a rope is pulled between them. The task of the guys is to pick up the girl and step over the rope. After the first pair does this, the second pair does the same. Next, you need to raise the rope and repeat the task again. The rope will rise until one of the pairs completes the task. As it has already become clear, the pair that fell before the other pair loses.

Competition “Potato”

To participate in the contest, you need 2 players and two empty packs of cigarettes. Ropes are tied to the players' belts, at the end of which potatoes are tied. The essence of the competition is to quickly push the empty pack to the finish line with this very potato, which hangs at the end of the rope. Whoever gets to the finish line first wins.

Competition "Clothespins"

For example: tree and computer. The next player must link the unlinkable and describe a situation that could happen with these two items. For example, "The wife is tired of her husband constantly sitting at the computer, and he settled with him on a tree." Then the same player pronounces the next 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 on a bed.” And so on, as long as there is enough imagination. You can complicate the game and add the following. The facilitator interrupts one of the participants and asks to repeat all the words spoken, the one who fails to do this is eliminated from the game.

Contest “How to use?”

The competition requires from 5 to 15 people. Any object is placed on the table in front of the players. Participants should take turns talking about how the item is used. The use of the item must theoretically be correct. Anyone who could not come up with a use for the subject is out of the game. The one who remains last in the game is the winner.

The participants are divided into two teams. The first team calls the second player. A word is suggested to him, which he must show exclusively with the help of facial expressions and gestures, without saying anything. Teammates are trying to guess what he depicts.

A limited time is given for guessing, for example, a minute. Then everything is repeated with the player of the other team.

In a more complex version of "Crocodile", a phrase is guessed. For example, a quote from a famous song or a quatrain, a proverb, a saying, and so on.

2. Hat

The game involves two teams, which must have the same number of players. Each participant writes 5–6 words on cards (small pieces of paper) (one word per piece). The cards are then put into a hat.

The first player draws a card from the hat and, on a signal, begins to explain to one of the players the word written on it. One-root and consonant words cannot be mentioned, metaphors, synonyms, abstract explanations can be used. The task of the second player is to express their versions and have time to guess the word in 20 or 30 seconds. If it worked out, the card remains with the team, if not, it is put back in the hat.

Then the players of the second team guess the word in the same way, and so on until the hat is empty. The team that has the most cards wins.

3. What does he do?

This is a kind of variation of the "Hat". Players are divided into teams. Each of them writes some action on a piece of paper, for example: change a diaper, flip pancakes, ride a Ferris wheel, pass an exam, dance in the fan zone at a rock concert, and so on.

The player pulls out the task and tries silently, only with gestures and facial expressions, to show this action to a teammate.

The rest of the rules are the same as in the "Hat": the team with the most artistic and quick-witted players who have scored the most cards wins.

4. Contact

One of the players is designated as the leader. He thinks of a word - a common noun in the nominative case and singular - and calls its first letter. The rest of the players can ask the leader leading questions, meaning a specific word.

For example, the word "cow" is guessed. The player remembers the k-word and asks the facilitator, "Isn't this a place that kids really like?" (carousel). If someone has guessed what is meant, he says: "Contact!" Both players count to ten and say the word in unison. If both called "carousel", the leader opens the second letter "o". If the second player made a mistake and said, for example, "boat", everyone thinks further.

The task of the facilitator is to understand as quickly as possible what word the player has thought of and name it, while the “contacting” participants count to ten (“No, this is not a carousel”). If he succeeds, the second letter does not open.

The game continues until someone guesses the hidden word. In this case, the winner becomes the leader.

5. Answer in 5 seconds

The participants are divided into two teams. Each comes up with a musical task and calls the opponent's player. For example: name three styles of rock; three heroes of musicals; three songs that are good to listen to in traffic; three associations with the word "radio" or "rhythm"; three musical professions; three items that are on stage during the performance, and so on. The player must have time to answer within five seconds.

Tasks can be changed: give out not musical, but, for example, sports, geographical, natural or even local history tasks.

6. Danetki

A game with very simple rules. The facilitator thinks of some situation and briefly describes it. For example: “A man jumped out of a plane, but survived. How did it happen?" Players can ask questions to which the facilitator can only answer "yes" or "no". For example:

Did he fall into the ocean?
- Not.
- Was he with a parachute?
- Not.
- He was rescued in the air by another parachutist?
- Not.
Was the person in a moving plane?
- Not.
- Was the plane on the ground?
- Yes.

Situations can be of any complexity. The main thing is that they have at least some logic. The one who solved the situation becomes the leader.

7. Who am I?

Each player writes on a small piece of paper the name of a popular hero or the name of an item. After that, the sheets are mixed and distributed to all participants. They stick them on their foreheads without looking.

The players sit in a circle. Each of them can ask questions. For example: “Am I human?”, “Am I with huge legs?”, “Am I green?”. After the answer "no" is received, the right to ask questions passes to the next player in a clockwise direction.

It's a knockout game: whoever guesses he's a stool or Sherlock gets out of the circle. Everything continues until the only one left who cannot guess what the inscription on his forehead is.

8. Twister

Three or four people can play twister at the same time. To play, you need inventory - a white field with circles of green, yellow, blue and red, arranged six in four rows. Plus a flat tape measure, divided into four sectors: each of them corresponds to a certain arm or leg and is further divided into sections of four colors. The host spins the arrow and tells which sector and which arm or leg the player should move to.

You can make your own twister field on the grass using a cardboard box with a circle cut out in the bottom and four different colors of spray paint. And replace the roulette with cards with the inscriptions “right leg”, “left hand”, “red”, “blue” and so on, which the presenter pulls out of a hat or box.

If you do not want to part with your smartphone even in the open air, you can download applications for playing in the company.

9. Alias

A game similar to Crocodile, but with certain limitations. Participants are divided into pairs and sit opposite each other. The first player receives a word in the application that he needs to show his partner using synonyms, gestures, translations into foreign languages, and so on.

For each word guessed, the couple gets a point. If the process does not go, the word can be updated - in this case, the team loses a point. A minute later, the smartphone is transferred to another pair. Those who score the most points win.

10. Space team

Spaceteam is a team game for companies of up to eight people who shout technical nonsense to each other. This continues until their ship explodes.

Each player connects using their smartphone or tablet. He is provided with a randomly generated control panel with buttons, toggle switches, sliders and dials. The main task is to follow the provided instructions in time, while the ship falls and the star behind threatens to explode.

11. Frills

Dynamic "wrong side" of the game "Who am I?". Instead of cards, you need to attach a smartphone to your forehead, where it will be written who exactly the player is at the moment. The rest should explain this in any way possible, without naming the word itself.

After the set time expires, the smartphone is transferred to the next “victim”. Whoever guesses the most times wins. The game has categories from which you can choose words, for example: "Cinema", "Household items", "Elements", "Orders of nature" and so on.

12. Bomb - party games

The application contains the best fun for large companies: Crocodile with original tasks, Fanta, Danetka and other games.
