And so on until all the girls are “played out”.

Quizzes for a small group of adults at a table

Funny competitions, games for women's company

Funny and funny competitions are held not only during New Year celebrations or corporate events. When celebrating a girl's birthday or March 8th, there are also competitions.

The participant’s task is to remove an item from a cosmetic bag while blindfolded and say what it is. For more fun, you can put not the most “feminine” things in your cosmetic bag.

Chamomile game for adults' birthday

Chamomile is a game that will make any holiday bright and unusual. In fact, it resembles forfeits. In chamomile, as in the mentioned forfeits, you need to read the task and complete it. And these tasks are written on the petals of a flower. To do this, they are cut out of white cardboard, and the core is made of yellow. You can attach the petals to the middle of the flower in any way.

The game host approaches the selected players and gives them to tear off a daisy petal. At the same time, the players do not see what is written on the petals, since the daisy is turned to them with the other side. The player carefully tears off the petal, reads the task out loud and completes it. You can use the following list as tasks:

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.

Who is thinking about what?

To carry out this comic competition you need to prepare in advance. Select several excerpts from songs that will characterize this or that guest. For example, “Naturally blond, there’s only one like him in the whole country,” “I want to get married, I want to get married,” etc. Then, find a hat and when the guests gather at the table, tell them that you have a magic hat that reads minds. Place a hat on the guests and at the same time play a song excerpt that characterizes the guest.

With a coin and a scarf

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:

• Show us a master class, dance on one leg!
• The new hairstyle suits you, now I’ll braid your hair!
• And the mustache suits me, I wear it all evening!
• Show your willpower and show your panties!
• Tell us in Georgian and dance the lezginka for us!
• Do you want a hell of a sandwich? Put fish and lemon in your mouth!
• Do some quick exercise, bite your heel.
• Really, if you're a ladies' man, hug as many girls as possible at once.
• If you are not drunk yet, drink a glass of vodka through a straw.
• Grab yourself by the butt, press your knees to your chest. And in this position, be ready to walk twenty steps!
• Squeeze the bottle and glass quickly in the folds of your elbows. And try to fill the glass, and try not to spill a drop.

Find the breakdown

One volunteer (he will be a “mechanic”) is led out the door. The rest choose another participant (he will be a “broken mechanism”) and wish for some part of the body on him - this will be the place of the “breakdown”. A volunteer comes in. He is informed that he is a mechanic, but has no arms, and he needs to determine the location of the “breakdown of the mechanism” without touching it with his hands (nose, lips, etc.). When a malfunction is detected, the “mechanism” reacts: the closer to the point of failure, the more actively it “starts up”. When the “mechanic” determines the location of the breakdown, he himself becomes a “mechanism” and the game repeats.

Tongue twisters, or sobriety tests

The presenter suggests playing the game “Who is the most sober?” Those who wish to participate can remain seated at the table. Then the presenter slowly reads the tongue twisters below, and the players must repeat them, only quickly. It turns out to be a lot of fun.

• The heron wasted away, the heron was withered, the heron was dead.
• King is an eagle (5 times)
• Cook Peter, cook Pavel. Peter swam and Paul swam
• (!) Our trains are the busiest trains in the world. And no trains can outpace our trains.
• (!) There is a hill with sacks in the field, I’ll go out onto the hill and straighten the sack.
• (!) I'm driving through potholes, I can't get out of potholes!
• (!) The bridle hangs on a nail, the star on the bridle is burning.
• Unpromising
• Underneath

The symbol (!) marks those tongue twisters, which, if pronounced incorrectly, may result in the appearance of obscene expressions!

My kitty

A fun game for a home youth party. Guests are seated comfortably (or sit on the floor in a circle). A volunteer is called. His task is to imitate a cat: crawl up to the players, rub against them, purr, meow, etc., but you cannot laugh. The person to whom the “cat” has crawled should slowly say: “My cat is very strange today, is she sick?”, stroking the “cat” on the head. If he did not laugh and did all of the above, then the “cat” crawls away to another participant and repeats its actions; if the player laughs, then he becomes a “cat”.

Bank deposits

For this comic competition you need to invite 2 couples (2 girls and 2 guys). The presenter gives the girls the same amount of money from the joke bank. The girls' task: in one minute they must make bank deposits, that is, hide greatest number money in the clothes of their partners, and they are allowed to hide only one banknote in one place. The pair with the fewest banknotes earns a point. Then the presenter asks the girls to change places. Now their task is to “withdraw” the largest amount of money from bank accounts, that is, to find and get hidden banknotes. The winner is the girl who can find the most banknotes in the time allotted by the presenter.

Alcohol meter, or am I the most sober here!

For this competition, you need to draw a “scale of intoxication” on a piece of Whatman paper in advance, for example, in the form of a bottle of vodka. The degrees on the scale are indicated from top to bottom - 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 degrees and above, and funny comments are placed near each mark, for example: “like glass”, “in neither eye”, “slightly oblique”, “the clouding of reason begins”, “drunk calls to exes”, “I want to dance!”, “already caught the devils”, “drunk in zyuzya”, “autopilot turns on” and others. Then the resulting “spiritometer” is attached to the wall, and you need to think in advance at what level it is best to hang it (it will be clear why later).

The competition itself: tipsy men are invited to check which of them is the most sober. The participants’ task is to turn their backs to the scale, bend over and, extending their hand to the “Spiritometer” between their legs, mark the degree on the scale with a felt-tip pen. Everyone wants to win, so in order to be the “most sober”, the players will have to be very clever, and the rest of the guests will watch with pleasure! A bottle of something alcoholic would be a very appropriate prize for the winner.

To play, you need pre-prepared pieces of paper on which various parts of the body are written, for example: lips, nose, hand, leg, ear, little finger on right hand etc.. These pieces of paper are folded into a box or hat so that what is written on them is not visible.

Two participants come out, each taking one piece of paper. Their task is to connect to each other with the indicated body parts. Thus, the two participants “freeze” to each other. Then the next participant comes out, he and one of the first players each take one piece of paper and freeze each other. Another participant comes up and so on. It turns out to be a very funny chain. Don't forget to take a photo of her!

It?

A host and a volunteer are selected from the party participants. The volunteer is seated on a chair and blindfolded. The presenter begins to point at the players one by one and ask the question: “Is it?” The one who is chosen as a volunteer becomes the “kisser.” Then the presenter, pointing in any order to the lips, forehead, nose, chin or other parts of the presenter’s body, asks the question: “Here?” - until he receives an affirmative answer from the volunteer. Continuing, the presenter shows all possible quantities on his fingers and asks the volunteer: “How many?” Having received consent, the presenter makes a “sentence” chosen by the volunteer himself - “It” kisses you, for example, on the forehead 5 times. After the end of the process, the volunteer must guess who kissed him. If he guessed correctly, then the one identified takes his place, but if not, then the game resumes with the same volunteer. If a volunteer does not guess three times in a row, then he takes the place of the leader.

Princess on the Pea

Only ladies are invited to participate in the competition. To carry it out you will need stools or chairs with a hard coating and pieces soft fabric, folded in several layers, for example, towels.

The chairs are placed in a row, with small round objects placed on each of them, for example, hazelnuts or walnuts. Every chair should have different quantities objects, for example, on the first - 6, on the second - 5, on the third - 4, on the fourth - 3. The objects are covered with a cloth on top. Then the contestants sit on chairs. At the command of the presenter, to the music, the ladies begin to move on their chairs, trying to determine how many objects are under them. It is prohibited to use your hands or look. It's very funny to watch the participants "dance" on the chair. The winner – the “princess and the pea” – is the lady who completes the task faster and more correctly!

A variation of this competition (minimum props): you can put 7-9 nuts in one suitable bag, and take turns asking the girls to guess their number.

Russian roulette, or lady luck

For this “terrible” competition you will need several sets of clean glasses (3 glasses for each participant), vodka and water. Several volunteers are invited, 5-7 people. The host warns in advance that the players will have to drink vodka. It is better to protect people who do not tolerate alcohol very well from participating in this game!

The essence of the game: the first participant turns away, at this time 3 piles are placed, two of which are filled with vodka, and the third with water. When the player turns around, without hesitation, he drinks from one pile and washes it down with another, but what he gets and in what order is a matter of luck. It can be a fun water-vodka combination, and the “lucky” ones might get a vodka-vodka. If a glass of vodka remains, the participant continues to play next stage, if there is a glass of water left, he is eliminated. The next “entry” is made by the next player, etc. Those players who remained after the first stage continue to participate in the second stage according to the same principle. And so on until one person remains, the luckiest one. The winner of this difficult test can be given a bottle of vodka as a prize.

When preparing to celebrate his birthday, inviting guests to the celebration, the birthday person needs to select funny table competitions in advance to make the holiday as bright and interesting as possible, and, most importantly, to avoid awkward, protracted pauses or unwanted conversations.

Competitions should be chosen exclusively for table competitions- as a rule, adults have absolutely no desire to get up from the table to participate in outdoor games - therefore an invitation to jump and run is unlikely to be greeted with enthusiasm by guests.

At the same time, the number of competitions should not exceed 5-6, otherwise even the funniest entertainment program will be unreasonably drawn out and will soon become boring.

Necessary props and organizational preparations

Most of the competitions below don't require a host, but some will require a host to be chosen through a public vote—which can be a fun contest in itself.
Or agree in advance that one of your loved ones will take on this role.

Props

For the competition program you need to prepare in advance:

• tokens or medals;
• red box;
• forfeits with tasks;
• blindfold and mittens (according to the number of guests);
• cards with drawings in a blue or pink (depending on whose birthday) box:
  – scales for weighing trucks,
  - desert,
  - telescope,
  — alcohol mashine,
  - tank,
  - police car,
  — lemon Tree,
  - propeller.
• two bags (boxes);
• cards with questions;
• answer cards;
• long nose made of cardboard and elastic;
• glass of water;
• ring.

Red box

A “Red Box” with forfeits is being prepared separately for those who lost in competitions or dropped out of the game.
You can make the “Red Box” yourself, from colored paper and tape, or buy a ready-made one.

Forfeit tasks should be as funny as possible, for example:

• sing a funny song with a serious look, in a false voice, without hitting a single note;
• dance while sitting (with your arms, shoulders, eyes, head, etc. funny dance);
• show a trick (and in such a way that it doesn’t work - it’s clear that there are no magicians among the guests);
• recite a funny poem, ask an unusual riddle, tell a funny story, and so on.

Attention: The “Red Box” will remain in the middle of the table throughout the entertainment program. As mentioned above, it is for the losing participants. Therefore, do not forget to “reward” the eliminated contestant with a phantom - and it doesn’t matter if the tasks are repeated - after all, everyone will perform them in their own way!

Competition No. 1 “Find the birthday boy”

Guests are blindfolded.
The leader moves everyone as he wants.

As a result, no one knows who is sitting where now, and who is nearby.

Each guest is given warm mittens. You need to find out by touch who is sitting next to you, touching with your hands in mittens only the head and face of your neighbor.
Firstly, it tickles and inevitably makes you laugh!
And secondly, it’s very interesting to try to guess a person through touch!

Each participant guesses who is on the left.
You can only try to guess once; the ultimate goal is to find the birthday person.

The headbands are removed only when the last participant has guessed or not guessed his neighbor, but if the birthday person is discovered, the game ends earlier.

Whoever fails to guess his neighbor draws a forfeit from the “Red Box” and completes a funny task.

Competition No. 2 “Wishes and funny gifts for the birthday boy”

This is a very funny competition for resourceful guests with a sense of humor.

First, the Presenter says the main congratulations.
It sounds like this: “Dear (our) birthday boy (ca)! We all sincerely love you and wish you good health, happiness and prosperity! May all your dreams come true! Now the rest of the guests will complement my wishes!”

Next, each participant must say the following phrase: , and then pull a picture out of the blue (or pink) box, show it to the birthday boy (or birthday girl), and explain why he gives this particular item to the hero of the occasion? If there is no explanation, the contestant reads out the text on the back of the picture.

The next participant, before taking the picture out of the box, again repeats the beginning of the congratulatory phrase “And I know that this is exactly what you really need, that’s why I’m giving it!” and takes out his funny “gift” with an explanation of why the hero of the occasion really needs it!

So, for example, having pulled out a picture of a desert, the participant first says the main phrase with which everyone who draws pictures begins: “And I know that this is exactly what you really need, that’s why I’m giving it!”, and if you didn’t find your wish, read the phrase written on the picture on the back side: “Let them go there, into the distance, forever, holding hands, and let all your enemies and enemies never be able to return, having captured all your troubles!”

What should be shown and written in the pictures is indicated in the section “ Preliminary preparation", but let's repeat it again:

1. The box contains pictures of unusual objects.
2. On the reverse side, as a hint, wishes are written. First, the guest, looking at the picture pulled out of the box, tries to come up with an original wish for the birthday girl (birthday boy), then looks at the hint written on the back of the picture and adds to his congratulations.
3. You can add other pictures, in any quantity - the more pictures and wishes, the more interesting the competition.

Minimum required images for the competition:

• picture special scales for weighing loaded KamAZ trucks, on the reverse side it is written: “I wish you so much wealth that it is impossible to count, but only to weigh with such scales!”;
• image of a telescope, on the back it says: “I wish that all dreams and their fulfillment were much closer than those stars in the sky that are visible through a telescope!”;
• moonshine still, on the back there is a wish: “Let a considerable percentage of unbridled fun always play in your veins!”;
• picture of a tank, wish: “So that you always have something to go to the store with!”
• image of a police car with flashing lights: “So that when you drive, the people make way!”
• tree with lemons growing, inscription: "So that you all year round“lemons” and not only fruits grew!”
• a picture of a desert, on the back it says: “Let all your enemies go there, into the distance, forever, holding hands, and never be able to return, taking all your troubles with you!”
• image of a propeller from the film “Kid and Carlson”, inscription: “May your life always be Karslson, who lives on the roof and brings many valuable gifts!”

There are two winners in the competition:
First: the one who came up with the funniest congratulations to the birthday boy (birthday girl);
Second: the one who read the inscription on the picture funniest of all.

Competition No. 3 “Tell about yourself: let’s play cards”

Two bags (or two boxes): one contains chaotically mixed cards with questions, the other contains answers.
1. The presenter pulls a card from the bag with questions and reads it out loud.
2. The first participant in the feast draws a card from the bag with answers and an expression.

It's the random combinations of questions and answers that will be funny..

For example, Leader: “Have you ever been stopped by a traffic police officer?”
The answer might be: "It is so sweet".

You can only draw one card per question.
The game ends when all the cards are announced and all guests have read the answers to the questions.

Competition No. 4 “Intuition”

Each player is given a hoop with a specific shape on his head. It could be a fruit, a vegetable, a character, a famous person.

The players’ task is to guess who he is using clarifying questions that can only be answered “yes” or “no.”

Instead of hoops, you can make cardboard masks, then the game will turn out not only interesting, but also very funny.

Competition No. 5 “Long Nose”

Everyone puts on pre-prepared noses.

At the Leader’s command, you need to pass a small ring from nose to nose, and at the same time a glass of water from hand to hand, trying not to spill a drop.

The game is considered over when both the ring and the glass of water return to the “first” participant.
Anyone who drops a ring or spills water receives a forfeit.

Competition No. 6 “Find something in common”

Players are divided into teams.
The presenter shows three pictures that have something in common.
To motivate and cheer up the teams, the condition may be as follows: the team that did not guess the answer drinks penalty glasses.

For example, one picture shows a jacuzzi, the second shows the Eiffel Tower, and the third shows the periodic table. What unites them is the surname, because each image is an object named after its creator.

Competition No. 7 “Hat for the birthday boy”

In a deep hat you need to put a lot of folded pieces of paper with laudatory descriptions of the birthday boy (birthday girl), For example:
- smart (smart),
- beautiful (handsome),
- slender (slender),
- talented (talented)
- economic (economic), and so on.

Guests are divided into pairs. One partner takes out a piece of paper, reads the word to himself and explains to his partner using gestures what it means.
If the answer is not found, you can suggest one in words, but not by naming the word itself, but by describing its essence.
The team that gets the most correct answers wins.

You don't have to split into pairs. One person takes out a piece of paper and gestures at the word, while the others guess.
For each correct answer the player receives one point.
The player with the most points wins.

Competition No. 8 “Getting to the bottom of the truth”

An object, for example a carrot, needs to be wrapped in several layers of foil.
Each layer is accompanied by a riddle or task.

If the guest guesses the correct answer or completes the task, he expands the first layer. If not, he passes the baton to his neighbor and receives a forfeit.

The one who takes the picture last layer, receives a prize.

Competition No. 9 “Gossip Girl”

This funny competition is more suitable for a small company, because headphones will be needed for all participants. Or several volunteers may participate and others will observe the process.
Players put on headphones and listen to music loudly so that no extraneous sounds can be heard.
Only the one who says the first phrase remains without headphones. This must be some kind of secret about the birthday girl (birthday boy).
He says it loudly, but in such a way that it is impossible to hear all the words clearly.

The second player passes on the phrase he supposedly heard to the third, the third to the fourth, and so on.
Guests who have already shared “gossip about the birthday girl” can take off their headphones and observe what other participants end up sharing.
The last player voices the phrase he heard, and the first player says the original.

Competition No. 10 “Second Half”

Guests will have to use all their acting skills.
Each player chooses a piece of paper on which is written the role that he will play.
The roles are paired: the goal is to find your partner as quickly as possible.

For example, Romeo and Juliet: Juliet can sing the text: “I’m standing on the balcony and waiting for my love” and so on.

Competition No. 11 “Common Efforts”

The presenter suggests writing a fairy tale about the birthday girl (birthday boy).

Everyone comes up with their own plot, but each player will write only one sentence on a common sheet.

The fairy tale begins with the sentence “One fine day (name) was born.”
The sheet is passed around in a circle.

The first person writes a continuation based on the first sentence.
The second person reads the first person's sentence, adds his own, and folds the piece of paper so that the third guest can only see the sentence that the person in front of him wrote.

In this way, the fairy tale is written until the piece of paper returns to the guest who first started writing it.

Together, we will get a very funny story about the hero of the occasion, which is then read out loud.

Competition No. 12 “Honest answer”

You need to prepare cards with questions and answers.
One guest takes a card from the deck with questions, and the one to whom the question is addressed - from the deck of answers.
The game continues in a circle.
The number of questions and answers should at least correspond to the number of players, and it is better to be two to three times more.

The one who guesses the item first will receive one point (you can use stickers and stick it on clothes).
Whoever has the most at the end of the game wins.

Competition No. 14 “Inarticulate Hamster”

All guests fill their mouths with marshmallows.
The first participant reads the phrase that is written on the sheet, but does not show it to the others.
He says it to his neighbor, but due to his full mouth, the words will be very illegible.

A phrase is a task that the one who ends up last will have to complete, for example, “You must dance the lezginka.”
The participant will have to perform the action that he heard.

Competition No. 15 “Top Secret”

Competition No. 16 “Sobriety test”

A game for a large company.
The first team is on one side of the table, the second team is on the other.
From the first player to the last you will need to pass various objects, holding them with matches.
The winner is the team that quickly transfers all the objects from one end of the table to the other in this way.

Competition No. 17 “Musical crocodile”

The first contestant takes out a piece of paper on which the name of the song and, possibly, the lyrics are written.
The task is to explain to others what song it is.
You can't explain it with words from the song itself.
For example, “When the apple trees bloom...” you cannot say “The apple trees bloomed in the garden.” You can say “In one place there is a tree, fruits appear on it” and something like that.

Competition No. 18 “Find your match”

To play the game you need to prepare cards with the names of various animals. There are two cards for each animal.
Participants pull out cards and then show each other their animal (meowing, crowing, etc.).
The game will be over only after all the pairs have been found.

Our competitions are designed for the most modest costs, both financial and organizational. If you take into account the age of the guests and their preferences, competitions can be very funny and mischievous.
This birthday celebration is sure to be remembered for a long time!
We wish you a noisy, cheerful feast!

Watch the video with very funny competition(viewing time 4.5 minutes):

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 options, change the rules, add items, increase or decrease the number of participants - in a word, take a creative approach to drawing up a program of fun and amusing table competitions for adult company sitting at the table.

Let's start with the simple - what's at hand (literally and figuratively!)

"The alphabet is near us"

The presenter names any letter of the alphabet, except four Y-Y-L-B(you can agree to exclude the letter E as well).

Players playing in a circle name objects - products - things starting with this letter, which are located directly next to them and which can be reached with their hand or touched.

Option! - add adjectives to the list of nouns: B - incomparable salad, incomparable lipstick (from a neighbor), endless pasta, C - nice vinaigrette, sugar cake...

The game continues until the words are exhausted. The last one to call wins.

Here's another game with letters.

"Burim in order"

Starting with the first letter of the alphabet, the players come up with a mini-congratulation (depending on the occasion of those gathered) or simply sentences that are appropriate for this holiday.

The phrase must first begin with the letter A, the next one with B, then C, and so on. It is advisable to come up with funny phrases like:

- How great it is that we have gathered today!
- It happened that...
- 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!
