When people gather at the table good company, the party promises to be fun!

But the guests drank and ate... talked last 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 versions, 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 an 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 should begin first 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...
- That's …
- 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 funniest 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 object, 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 leader) in a modern way, 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's not teams playing, but individual participants. Then more time is given for preparation, and it will be easier for the guests to select the winner.

Everyone’s favorite since childhood, “Broken Phone”

Here's what more people, all 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 with the names of the animals in advance 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 objects from masculine or women's wardrobe, lingerie items or, for the more 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 they compare it 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:

1. 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.
2. Players receive pens/pencils and pieces of paper (each has several of them - 15-20).
3. 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.
4. Leaves with words are hidden in a box/bag/hat.
5. 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 is how many 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?
• If you have an animal at home, what funny incident can you remember (what did it eat)?
• 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 any 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 one. 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:

• Romeo and Juliet;
• Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin;
• Dolphin and mermaid;
• Twix stick and Twix stick;
• Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt...

Each guest receives a card with a name - this is his “image”.

Task: everyone must find their soul mate by asking the other guests in turn questions that can only be answered “yes” or “no.” Direct questions like “Is your name Angelina?” or “are you Brad’s wife”? prohibited. Questions like “Do you have children with your significant other?” are allowed; “Are you and your significant other married?”; “Do you and your significant other live in...?”

Those who find their soul mate by asking the minimum number of questions win. The more cards of pairs you prepare, the better. Since only half of the guests will play in the first round (when they find their soul mate, they are deprived of the opportunity to look for theirs). Therefore, after the first round, new cards are dealt and the second round begins.

Option: in the first circle they are looking for a woman's soul mate, in the second - men.

Do you have..?

This game is suitable for a large company and for celebrating a variety of holidays.

The company is divided into two teams with an equal number of participants. We must try to have the same number of women in each.

The presenter, starting with the words “Do you have...?”, reads out the list of things you are looking for. Members of each team need to find this thing and show it to the leader.

Team members search in pockets and purses, those who find them show the item they are looking for, the team receives a point for each item found. For one named item, the team gets only one point (no matter how many five thousand dollar bills the team members have, the team can only get one point for the item with the bill).

So, do you have...?

• 5000 ruble banknote;
• Notebook;
• photo of the child;
• mint chewing gum;
• candy;
• pencil;
• keychain with at least 7 keys;
• penknife;
• 7 (or 5) credit cards per person;
• small change in the amount of at least 95 rubles (for one person);
• hand cream;
• flash drive;
• nail polish;
• shoe sponge...

The list of things can be supplemented at will.

Play and have fun with your guests at the festive table!

Don’t forget that each competition can be creatively reworked to suit your company.

Let this day be remembered by your friends not only delicious dishes, but also the funniest and coolest competitions.

Eat! Drink! And don't be bored!

The festive table is not only about delicious food and drinks. It is also a meeting of people who have gathered in one place to celebrate some kind of celebration. And in order for it to pass on top level the owner of the house must make every effort to achieve this. And for entertainment, you can dilute the feast with various games, quizzes and other activities, where guests can show off their talents or knowledge.

Comic tasks at the table will help guests unwind, relieve the jitters of an unusual environment and get to know each other better. But, of course, their main function is to raise the level of fun. In order for the comic tasks to be a success, the host of the celebration needs to prepare in advance. To do this, you can use the topics described below.

Sobriety test

The simplest, but at the same time very funny task. Especially if the owner and guests use alcoholic drinks. But even a sober person may not be able to cope with such a task. Which will cause a fit of laughter among those around you.

As a task for the Sobriety Test, you can use various tongue twisters:

• Lilac teeth picker from under the sleeve
• In Kabardino-Balkaria, valocordin from Bulgaria
• A fluorographer was fluorographing a fluorographer.
• The Staffordshire Terrier is zealous, and the black-haired Giant Schnauzer is playful
• It is pointless to comprehend meaning with unintelligible thoughts.

The list of such tongue twisters can be continued for a very long time. They can be found on the Internet or special dictionaries.

I love and I don't like

If close people are sitting at the table, then you can play a game of “like or dislike” with them. The essence of this game is simple. You need to look at your table neighbor and say which trait in his character you don’t like and which you like. You can complicate the task by prohibiting the next pair from using the already named traits. When all the main character traits are completed at the table, the real fun begins.

New Year's mafia

The popular game “Mafia”, stylized as this, is ideal for celebrating the New Year. But, to carry it out, you need to prepare and change the standard cards for this “holiday winter” game. You also need to purchase Santa Claus hats and decorate them with mafia cards. Like the classic "Mafia", stylized as New Year will cause a storm positive emotions and fun.

Funny fun competitions and games for a small company for a birthday at the table

To ensure that your birthday celebration is not similar to a similar event a year ago, you can play several exciting and fun games at the festive table. For example, these:

I look like...

This very fun game is suitable for a small cozy company. To carry it out, you need to prepare several cards with animals, birds, cartoon and comic book characters. The main thing is that the images on these cards are fun and memorable.

In addition to such cards, you need to make cards with phrases, part of which will be the phrase “I look like.” For example:

• In the morning I look like... . .
• When I drink, I become like... . .
• At work I'm like... . .
• When the director calls me into his office, I become like... . .

The number of cards with phrases depends on your imagination. It is advisable to make 10-15 of them.

The game is played as follows. First, the guest draws a card with a phrase (he should not see it in advance) and reads it out loud. Then he takes a card with animals or cartoon characters. He shouldn't see her in advance either. Then he shows it to the guests.

Some combinations of cards will cause real fits of laughter among your guests.

Crocodile

Another simple but quite fun game is the Crocodile game. Its essence is simple. You need to think of a word for your table neighbor and ask him to portray it with pantomime and gestures. You can't use words. When one of the guests guesses the word, the turn is transferred to him.

Surprise

A very interesting game for a small company is “Surprise”. You need to put various items in a small chest or box: a false nose, large false ears, a cap, funny glasses, etc. All these items can be purchased at any souvenir shop. The box with the things put in it must be passed from one guest to another while listening to music. When it runs out, the person who has it will have to open it and take out the souvenir without looking. After which you need to put it on yourself. After such a transformation, guests are guaranteed to laugh.

Table fun competitions and games for a small company at a corporate event for colleagues

A corporate party is not only a way to relax after working days, but also one of the ways of team building. That is, team building and team building. Therefore, you need to choose games for such a holiday so that they are not only fun, but also able to unite the team. Most often, corporate events use games and competitions in which teams of 2-5 players participate.

Remember all

Guests of the corporate party are divided into two teams. The presenter writes on paper one task word at a time. Each team receives its own piece of paper. The essence of this task is to remember and sing a song that contains this word. Whichever team remembers the most songs wins.

What? Where? When?

The famous TV quiz show can be adapted to be held at a corporate party. Everyone knows the rules of this game. As for the questions, they need to be selected in advance. It is advisable to adapt them to the theme of the event or the company’s field of activity.

This game is based on remembering the voices of your colleagues. The presenter selects one person from the team, who stands with his back to those present. They take turns pronouncing the prepared phrase. Moreover, you need to say it by changing your voice. The player who guesses the most of his colleagues receives some kind of incentive prize.

Colleague

The names and positions of colleagues are written on pieces of paper. Then they are rolled up and placed in a container. Players come up to him one by one and take out one piece of paper. Then they must imitate their colleague using gestures and facial expressions. The rest of those present must solve this riddle.

Funny table jokes for a cheerful small group of adults

Games in the company of adults can be ambiguous. Many people like these games and evoke a lot of positive feelings and emotions. Such games are especially interesting in companies in which participants do not suffer from complexes and evaluate the competitions presented below as a fun pastime, and not something more.

Come on, put it in

For this game you will need empty bottles and pens or pencils. The pencil must be tied to the belt of a male player using a long thread. The girl must hold the bottle between her legs. With the help of dexterity and coordination of movement, the man must hit the neck of the bottle with a pencil. And since this competition is held when the alcohol level in the blood rises, it looks very fun and perky.

Beautiful maiden

The host must choose from a group of several girls who came to the party in skirts. He then places a small rug on the floor and blindfolds the girls. They must pass over the rug so as not to touch it. That is, their legs should be very wide apart. When all the girls have passed such an obstacle, the leader should lie face up on the mat and ask the girls to remove their bandages. The one who blushes the most at the sight of the presenter is declared the winner of the competition.

Harem

This game requires several pairs. Moreover, their number must be odd. From them, two guys are selected and taken to the far sides of the room. The rest converge in the center of the room, between the two guys. The guys are blindfolded and oriental music is turned on. Guys must select women for their harem. Whoever does it faster wins. The difficulty lies in the fact that in addition to women, there are also men in the circle. And if one of them is chosen, then he becomes the sultan and we take the place of the one who chose him. And so on until all the girls are “played out”.

Quizzes for a small group of adults at a table

The first quiz in our country appeared in 1928 in printed form on the pages of the Ogonyok magazine. Then quizzes moved to TV screens. Some of them are still popular. Like what? Where? When?" or "Field of Miracles". Others have sunk into oblivion. But every self-respecting person loves to show off his knowledge in such competitions. Due to this, they are held in schools, institutes and corporate events.

To conduct the quiz, you need to prepare questions in advance. It is advisable to dilute serious questions with funny ones, and also adapt them to the purpose of the event. At the New Year's corporate party, questions about winter and this cheerful holiday will be appropriate. You can also include in the list of questions those related to the company’s activities if the quiz is held during a corporate event.

The format of this article does not allow us to post a sample list of questions here. They can be found on the Internet or in various dictionaries and reference books. You can also find them on popular TV quiz sites. In addition to the above, you can find quite a few interesting questions in “Your Game”, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”, etc.

Table competitions and games for the anniversary

Congratulatory competitions during the anniversary celebration will help guests get to know each other faster, and the shyest ones can wish the hero of the occasion all the best without embarrassment. Even the shyest guests will enjoy such entertainment.

Let's reward the hero of the day

All guests are given paper or cardboard medals. Each of the guests writes on them what he wants to reward the hero of the day for. Of all the “awards”, the most original one is chosen. This competition can also be made as a team competition. Or if guests come in pairs, then one medal is accepted from each pair.

Competition "25 compliments"

All guests are divided into two teams. Each team is given one blank sheet of paper. You need to write 25 compliments on it in 2.5 minutes. Then the presenter takes these two sheets and compares them with each other. All identical compliments are crossed out. The team with the most original compliments on their list wins.

The best expert on the hero of the day

All guests of the event can participate in this competition. The presenter asks questions about the hero of the day, and the guests solve them. Each correct answer is worth one point. Whichever guest scores the most points is declared the winner.

To conduct this competition, you can use the following questions:

• In what year was the birthday boy born?
• How much did you weigh at birth?
• At what age did you take your first step?
• What year did you go to school?
• What is his favorite dish?
• What's your favorite color?

• What's his favorite movie?
• Which football club does the hero of the day support?

The more questions about the birthday boy, the better.

Table competitions and games for pensioners and the elderly

Comic auction

You need to select several prizes and wrap them in bright and colorful packaging. Then each player needs to be given the same amount of souvenir money. We display lots and conduct auctions. For successful trading, players need to be given various leading questions. After the auction, a competition should be held to see which of the grandparents will be the most successful trader.

Master classes

Master classes can be held for creative grandparents. If a group of pensioners is dominated by grandmothers, then you can hold a master class on decorating bouquets for them. At the same time, you need to distribute flowers, ribbons and other floral tools and accessories to everyone. After such a master class, you can hold a competition for the most beautiful bouquet.

Jokes for a small, cheerful group of adults

Jokes and a cheerful mood are commonplace during holiday feasts. But you can diversify the atmosphere with pre-prepared comic competitions and skits.

You can also do a trick with a coin and a scarf. You need to take the handkerchief by the middle and make it hang like a bell. With the other hand we take a coin and show it to the guests. We insert a coin into the bell of the scarf. Show everyone that the coin is under the scarf. The last person to check for a coin in the scarf is the partner, who quietly removes it from there. We shake the handkerchief demonstratively and... . . everyone becomes convinced that the coin “magically” disappears.

With lemon

A great prank to play while drinking tea. State that you really like tea with lemon and can drink 10 or even 20 mugs of it. As a rule, among the guests there are several gambling people who, of course, will not believe this and will ask you to prove it. Take a lemon, or better yet two, and place them entirely in a mug. Then pour some tea into it. Due to the fact that most of the mug is taken up by lemon, there will be very little tea in it. You can drink 10 or even 20 cups of tea in this quantity.

Table game with notes at the holiday table

The most popular competition with notes is forfeits. It can be arranged for both children and adults. The point of this game is to complete tasks that are written on paper. At the same time, the phantom does not know in advance what task he will get.

Tasks for playing forfeits should not be offensive, difficult from a physical point of view, unaesthetic or harmful to health. At the same time, it is important that all tasks must be quickly completed and when using them, the forfeiter must use his creative potential.

Each player writes a task on a piece of paper. Then all the leaves are rolled up and placed in an opaque vessel, cap or bag. Forfeit players take turns taking notes with tasks and completing them.

There are several variations of this game. The riskiest one is forfeits with collateral. Each player leaves some kind of deposit, which is left as a prize if the forfeit does not want to complete the task. You can also assign a cash prize. To do this, each player will hand over a certain amount, which will go to the winner.

The nature of this game lies precisely in the tasks. The following are suitable for a fun company:

1. "Funny numerology"

Numerology is the science of numbers and their influence on humans. I suggest you play with a very popular and simple technique in numerology. Everything is very simple. To do this, add up all the digits of your date of birth until you get a single number. It will become the “key” to unraveling the person of interest.
For example: 07/09/1967.
So, 9+7+1+9+6+7=39. Next 3+9=12. And finally, 1+2=3. The number 3 will be the desired number.
What figure did you get?.. Wonderful! Now you have in your hands the “key” to unraveling the person you are interested in, namely:

"Number 1"

Unusual life experience, creators of their destinies,
Their convictions are pure, they are connoisseurs of everything beautiful.

"Number 2"
They solve all problems quickly, they like to give advice very much,
Conflicts do not scare them; they will help you, day or night.

"Number 3"
They love a beautiful life, travel and adventures,
They feel happy if there is entertainment for them.

"Number 4"
In life they are accompanied by success, friends, fame, respect,
They are hardworking, and do not like those who seek consolation in sin.

"Number 5"
You will find a lot of strange things in them, there is no shortage of originality,
Decency is held in high esteem; they are destined to create, love, and suffer.

"Number 6"
Their life is full of changes, a little frivolous and carefree,
But they are reliable, an example to everyone and are not afraid of any work.

"Number 7"
They are the masters of their fate and their will is not occupied,
They are mysterious, kind, gentle, capable of composing poetry and music.

"Number 8"
Life is active and restless, ambition drives forward,
The position in their career is worthy; anything else will not suit them.

"Number 9"
Literature, music, stage - that's what they strive for,
They never accept betrayal; their best days are when traveling.

So, “think for yourself, decide for yourself whether to have it or not to have it” for you in your collection of “research” by numerologists, on whose conscience we will leave the veracity of the above.

2. "Folk signs"

The right ear rings - good news, the left - bad news.
- He sneezed - confirmed the truth of what was said.
- If you took a bucket, a bag, a jar, a plate from someone - don’t return it empty, if you put something down, you’ll have more.
- Two people yawn at the same time - drink wine together.

The cigarette does not light or goes out - someone is sad for you.
- Afraid of tickling means jealous.
- What itches for what:
- left palm - to profit, right - you will say hello;
- elbow - to sudden grief;
- neck - to a cheerful feast;
- back of the head - to sadness, sighs, boredom;
- nose - to an unexpected drunkenness;
- eyebrow - for an unexpected date;
- left eye - to tears, right - to look at your loved one;

Each participant has a piece of paper with an inscription attached to their forehead using tape. It can be any noun: Living being or an object, but for convenience you can limit yourself to famous characters from cartoons and movies, famous personalities. People sitting in a circle see all the inscriptions except their own.

Each player takes turns asking a leading question (“Am I an actor?”, “Am I a woman?”), to which you can only answer “Yes” or “No.” The first person to guess his character (or another word) wins. Anyone who guesses incorrectly is eliminated from the game or receives a comic punishment.

Mysterious ball

For the game, prepare a small gift, foil and short riddles. The latter are written on pieces of paper.
The gift is wrapped in the first layer of foil, and a leaf with a riddle is attached to it with tape.

The procedure is repeated several times, at least 6-7. More complex riddles should be placed closer to the center, and simpler ones on top. Someone reads the inscription. The first person to guess the riddle has the right to remove a layer of foil and read the next one. The process is repeated.

The gift is given to the one who solved the most difficult riddle and removed the last layer of foil.

Game "Killer"

The number of participants is unlimited. To draw lots you will need coins and an opaque bag. The coins must be identical, and only one must be marked (of a different color or with some symbol).

All players take out a coin without showing it to others. That participant. whoever comes across a marked coin is considered a “killer”.

Participants try to look into each other's eyes in search of the "killer". Ordinary players cannot independently remove other participants from the game. The “killer” “kills” in a random order - he blinks, meeting the victim’s gaze, trying to ensure that his actions are not noticed by other players. The killed participant immediately declares loudly, placing his coin on the table:
-Killed!
And leaves the game.
The participant who suspected the “killer” says (pointing to him):
- I suspect.
But only two suspects together can catch the “killer”. Until the second suspect shows up, the “killer” has time to take the first one out of the game. The goal of the participant with the marked coin is to “kill” all participants before he is exposed.

Guess the prize

The game is perfect for a birthday - you can take the name of the hero of the occasion as a basis. It’s good if it’s long and more or less corresponds to the number of guests. For example, the name Anton has 5 letters.

The treasured bag contains 5 gifts for each letter. A - orange, H - scissors, T - plate, O - postcard, N - handkerchief. If the prizes are complex, guests can be given small hints. Whoever guesses the item first gets it.

Emergency!

A simple game that requires no props and will delight any crowd.

Funny contests for the birthday of “Nonsense”

A whole series of games is based on a random coincidence of words, revealing “all the ins and outs” of the participants! An unexpected “truth” not only increases the level of endorphins, but sometimes reveals the secrets of the subconscious...

Question answer

The meaning of the game is clear from the name - with the clarification that both are written on cards and placed in two piles with the text facing down.

The first player draws a question and chooses the addressee, and the last player draws an “answer” card and reads it out loud. And then the procedure is repeated.

You will discover that your friend is hiding sandwiches in the most unimaginable places, and best friend howling at the moon at night, sitting on the roof...

Story

In front of the players are sheets of paper with letters of the alphabet. Someone chooses one of them, and all participants must come up with one word starting with that letter, but in such a way that the result is a funny story.

For example, with the letter “D”: “Dmitry dominated the day for a long time, but reached demonic disorientation.” The brighter your imagination works, the more fun the game!

Table vocabulary game “Say the Same Thing”

WITH in English The name of the game can be translated as “Say what I say.”

It can take place if there are at least two people.
Its essence is as follows: on the count of one, two, three, players pronounce any random word.

The task of the participants is to come to a common denominator (word) through step-by-step associations. On the next count, players must pronounce the next word that relates to and combines the previous ones spoken.

The game continues until, using the associative method, the participants manage to “read” each other’s thoughts and say the same word out loud.

Let's say there are two players. At the first stage, one of them voiced the word “fireworks”, the second - “day off”. Theoretically, to achieve the desired match, they may only need a couple of moves: for example, if on the second count of one-two-three the participants say the words “holiday” and “fun”, and then, say, “food” and “birthday”, then it is likely that they can reach mutual understanding already on the fourth word. Let's say it will be general word"cake".

However, if initially words are heard that are far from each other in meaning, or during the gameplay the participants are carried into the “lexical jungle”, then the path along which the action can develop becomes completely unpredictable and quite fun.

A Tale with Missing Words

The presenter writes a fable in advance, the characters of which are participants in the holiday. Only the fairy tale lacks some words that the players are asked to come up with. Each person takes turns naming a noun, adjective or verb, depending on what is required in the text.

Revelry of imagination and the most ridiculous and funny epithets are welcome! When all the blanks are filled in, the universal creation is read aloud.

Noun and adjective

The principle here is the same as in the previous competition. The last participant in the row comes up with a word, mentioning only whether it is masculine or feminine (for example, “cutlet”). Then the guests take turns calling adjectives and epithets, and the last one voices the hidden word.

The result is something like “a glassy, ​​charming, sexy, mysterious, grumpy cutlet.” The game is played quickly. Guests change roles so that everyone comes up with a noun.

"In my pants..."

The meaning of the game must remain a mystery until the very end. Participants sit in a circle, and everyone tells the neighbor on the left the name of a film, TV series or cartoon. The player remembers, but tells the next one in line a different name, and so on until the end. After this, the presenter asks everyone to say “In my pants...” and add the name of the film heard from a neighbor.

Imagine that someone has “The Lion King” or “Resident Evil” hiding in the designated place!

Cool competitions for a fun company at the table “Discover your talents!”

There are games that explore intelligence, artistry, and creativity. Who is the most talented? Who will impress the guests the most and make them laugh until they cry? The competitions presented below can provide answers to these questions.

Dancing while sitting

Contestants sit down on stools in the center of the hall and begin to dance to catchy music without leaving their seats.

The toastmaster directs the process and names the parts of the body that should dance at a certain moment: “first we dance with our lips and eyes, then with our eyebrows, then with our hands,” etc.

The audience votes for the best chair dancer.

Princesses-non-laughs

Guests are divided into 2 teams. The first takes on the most sour, sad or serious look, and the members of the second group must take turns or all together to cheer up the “non-laughable ones.” Anyone who smiles last joins the other team.

If within a certain period of time all the “sour faces” are cheerful, their opponents win. If not, the “non-laughers” win.

Sculptor

To complete the task you need imagination and a pack of plasticine. One of the guests names a letter of the alphabet, and the competition participants must fashion an object for this letter.

The speed of sculpting and similarity to the original are assessed. Players receive 2 prizes for the “beauty of the masterpiece” and the efficiency of production!

My mouth is full of worries

A fairly well-known game for which you need to stock up on small caramels or toffees. Contestants put the candy in their mouth and say: “Happy birthday!” Then they take another toffee and the process is repeated. The winner is the one who pronounces the phrase more expressively with the largest number of candies in his mouth.

Skyscraper

The game is designed for people with strong nerves. It is better to play it when the guests have already had a little drink, but their movements are still quite accurate.

The “tower” is built from domino plates: they are placed in the letter “P”, and then the second, third “floor” grows, and so on. Each player adds one plate. Anyone who accidentally destroys a building drinks a penalty portion of alcohol.

Speed ​​solving puzzles

Small puzzles with 54 pieces are quite affordable, but you can take more complex ones. Participants are divided into 2 teams and excitedly assemble the picture at speed. Puzzles that are too large can bore guests.

Crocodile

A popular game, familiar to everyone and loved since childhood, suitable for different ages, also called “Pantomime”, “Cow”, etc. You can play in a team or individually. In the first case, the leader selects 1 person from each group and tells them a word. Start with something simple, like the names of animals or ordinary objects. Then there may be more complex concepts like “dream”, “love”, “investment”, “Paris”, “America”... Each participant must explain to his comrades what it is without making a sound. For each word guessed, the team gets a point.

Supertoast

At any holiday, especially birthdays, congratulations and toasts are important.
But not everyone likes or knows how to pronounce them, and solemn speeches come down to banal wishes for “health and happiness.”
To make this process joyful and extraordinary, toasts should be made under certain conditions! For example:

• the congratulation should be related to food (“let there be life in chocolate!”);
• give a speech for the birthday boy in a thematic style (for example, like “brothers” with criminal words, in the style of “Alice in Wonderland” or the works of Tolkien - depending on the company that has gathered);
• the congratulation is associated with animals (“beautiful like a butterfly”);
• compose a rhyming greeting on the fly;
• say a toast in a foreign language;
• congratulate the hero of the occasion, using the ENTIRE list of words taken “out of thin air” (sun, rainbow, newspaper, slippers, president...).

The list of tasks can be increased. They are written on pieces of paper and distributed to guests.

Magic story

Guests are divided into 2 equal teams, each participant needs to write words on pieces of paper. The latter should relate to a specific topic, for example, one group writes what comes to mind in connection with the concept of “Birthday”. Another comes up with associations for the birthday person himself, his character traits or life events.

Teams can be created “by gender”, so that men write their thoughts about women (“beauty”, “tenderness”, etc.), and vice versa (“strength”, “knight”...). The words may be taken randomly, but that's not that interesting.

The teams then exchange their notes, with the blank side up. Players take turns taking out pieces of paper and coming up with a sentence with the specified word. The team must come up with a story that is interconnected in meaning, then the turn goes to the opponents.

"Not at ease"

As they say, look at your neighbor's plate - you'll always have time to look at yours. The competition is held over food. The driver names any letter of the alphabet, and the participants must name the corresponding product on their plate faster than others.

The use of ё, и, ь, ъ, ы is prohibited. The first one to guess becomes the new presenter. If no one can name the word starting with the specified letter, he receives a prize.

A good holiday requires advance preparation. You need to prepare a bunch of dishes - what other fun? - you may ask. But it’s the cool table competitions that will make the atmosphere fun, and the company around the table won’t be bored.

You can involve guests in the preparation process: ask them to bring props (don’t say what for!) or crafts that will decorate the holiday.

Put your whole soul into organizing the holiday, and any celebration will become truly magical!
