Picnic entertainment for a group. Funny competitions in nature for a fun company

When adults go out into nature, into the forest or to barbecue for just a few hours, they want to leave all their seriousness for this time and arrange games in nature for a cheerful company of adults.

Of course, outdoor games require certain preparation and fresh ideas, but you can limit yourself to the usual set:

• playing cards;
• fun with the ball;
• famous game "crocodile".

But vacationers will enjoy much more fun, playful games for fresh air, which will captivate everyone present at the picnic.

Web

For this competition you will need a rope that needs to be pulled chaotically between the trees to form something like a web. After this, participants must quickly make their way through the “web” without touching it.

Silent system

The presenter must line up the participants and explain to them the rules of the game. So, the leader, passing behind the line, will slap each participant on the back with his palm a different number of times (which is his ordinal number). Then, at a signal, the participants must silently, without uttering a sound, line up in the designated order. The joke is that the host can assign the same numbers to two participants and skip some. This is where there is confusion with the rows. It is useful to film such games in nature for a cheerful company, since later the participants themselves will find it funny to look at themselves from the outside: winking, inarticulately mooing, jostling one another. Fun fun!

Boar hunting

This game can be added to outdoor games for a group of adults with great success, in which you first need to recruit two teams of hunters and a “boar prey.” Hunters' weapons can be stickers, and each team has its own color. They need to be glued to the target - a cardboard circle drawn in circles, tied to the “boar” just below the back. The fleeing “boar” must dodge, and the hunters’ goal is to hit as accurately as possible. After the agreed time has passed, the game stops and the winning team is determined which hits the target more often. She gets the prize or comes up with a punishment for the losing team. This and other fun competitions in nature will amuse any company, turning an outing into nature into a great vacation.

Swamp

In this game, each participant, in addition to a good mood, will need a piece of cardboard or paper. Nearby, it is necessary to fence off the territory of a conditional “swamp” with branches and other available materials, which the participants must overcome. But they cannot walk straight through the swamp, but only over hummocks, which are pieces of cardboard. The game is quite simple, but requires a certain dexterity, and participants who stumble and “drown” will cause everyone to laugh.

Sardines

This is the name of the game, which is a classic game of hide and seek turned inside out. If in the latter one driver is looking for all the other hidden participants, then in the “sardines” everyone is looking for one. Moreover, the one who found the hidden person joins him, and so on until the last participant has to look for everyone else. Of course, the hiding place must be large enough to accommodate all the players hiding in it.

Gift hunters

A similar game is perfect for a barbecue picnic by the lake. Its participants need to be divided into several teams, which will be united by the goal of finding hidden treasures faster than others:

• beverages;
• fruits;
• snacks.

A dozen notes are made, each of which indicates where to look for the next one. In this case, some of the notes need to be hidden, and the other can be placed in the exchange office. To get it there, you will have to complete a pre-conceived task, which can be very unusual and fun. From this fun you can make an interesting corporate game in nature that can unite a new team.

Rip off your hat

Anyone looking for outdoor games can play this simple yet fun game in any outdoor area or park. Participants in the game must form a circle, in the center of which two players are launched who have:

• one arm is tied to the body;
• a hat is put on his head.

In the game, everyone strives to remove the hat from their opponent’s head and not allow theirs to be stolen. Noise and fun for 20 minutes are guaranteed.

Deliver the egg

This fun game is good for a picnic and will require you to form two teams of participants. A member of each team must bring a raw egg, which lies in a spoon clamped between his teeth, to a real or mock frying pan and hand it to the cook. Of course, you cannot pick up the egg.

Hat

Participants are divided into pairs or teams, they are given an arbitrary number of pieces of paper on which they write phrases or individual words. The pieces of paper are rolled up and put into a hat. The first team is determined by lot. One participant must make a guess and the other must guess the word. In a minute, you need to explain to your team as many words from the pieces of paper as possible, without naming them directly or using the same root words. The game continues until all the papers with riddles are finished. The results are then tallied and the team that guesses the most words wins.

Ball games

Comic football variant

Outdoor games for teenagers can be interesting not only in classic football, but also in its parody form. For example, you need to divide the participants into two teams, mark the goal, because goals will have to be scored here too. Then the players of each team are preliminarily divided into pairs and the right leg of one player is tied to the left of the other. And so the players, hobbled in this way, try to take possession of the ball, bring it to someone else’s goal and score a goal. More often than not, they fall onto the grass laughing.

"Blind" football player

Another variation on the football theme. You can safely play it in the forest, since even the semblance of a football field is not required. A participant who is ready to look funny is chosen as a “blind” football player who is blindfolded. The ball is then placed in front of him, and the player himself is spun. Next he must hit the ball blindly. The first participant can be chosen by drawing lots, and the winner can nominate another “victim” as a prize. It turns out to be a kind of active ball game in the air.

What games do you like to play outdoors? Tell us about it in

On a warm summer day it's nice to relax in nature. Competitions will help you spend your leisure time fun and interesting. Children and adults will enjoy taking part in relay races and competitions. Active games will give you the opportunity to warm up physically and bring positive emotions. Everyday bustle will recede into the background and give way to fun and joy.

Game "Severe Pioneer"

Everyone is welcome to participate. To play the game, you will need newspapers, from which the players must make caps for themselves, and small plastic cups, of such a size that they can be placed on their heads and covered with caps.

One driver is selected. He leaves. At this time, the players fill one glass with water, and someone hides it under the cap. The driver returns and tries to figure out who has the glass on his head. He hits the selected player's cap from above. If he guesses correctly, then the participant with the glass takes the place of the driver. If he makes a mistake, he moves away again and gives the players the opportunity to hide the glass.

Game "Sardines"

Everyone is welcome to participate. The principle of the game "Sardines" is similar to hide and seek. All participants have their eyes closed. One player is hiding. You can’t peek, otherwise it won’t be interesting. Then everyone starts looking for the hidden player. The one who finds him must hide with him, unnoticed by other participants. When another player finds them, he also joins them in the hiding place. As a result, the participants lie in ambush like sardines in a can. The last two players are looking for the whole company. The one who finds the participants last becomes the driver.

Game "Uncle"

Everyone is welcome to participate. To play the game you will need a lot of space.

One player is declared “uncle” voluntarily or by drawing lots. He stands with his back to the other participants. The players move away. Then they begin to move towards the driver. With each step, the participants take turns asking: “Uncle, what day is it today?” The driver answers them with funny phrases. When he decides that the participants are close enough, he says that today is hunting day and rushes to catch them. The caught player becomes the new driver.

An active relay game for a cheerful children's company. To carry it out you will need 2 tennis balls. You need to choose a flat area where 2 trees grow on the same line, and mark the starting line in the distance.

All the guys are divided into 2 groups. Each of them receives a tennis ball. Teams line up in 2 lines in front of the starting line. The first participants hold the ball between their knees. After the start signal, they begin to jump like bunnies to the tree, then go around it and return back to pass the baton to the next player on their team. Thus, all participants must complete the distance. If the "bunny" drops the ball along the way, he must return to the start. The task can be complicated by asking children to hold their hands above their heads while jumping, imitating bunny ears.

The team whose members complete the task faster wins.

Game "Kalistop"

All children who wish can participate. During the game they will replace each other.

Two children start the game. While one of them says: “Kalistop, kalistop, one, two, three, four, stop,” the other runs forward as best he can. At the word “stop” the running child stops. The player who pronounced the speech must determine by eye the distance to the standing participant. He names the number of giants (big steps) and midgets (additional steps, when the heel is placed on the toe) and takes the announced number of steps. If he does not reach the second participant or steps over, other children try. The next runner is the child who manages to most accurately determine the distance to the standing player.

From 3 to 6 male-female pairs participate in the competition. The host asks each couple to come up with a name for themselves or gives them comic nicknames.

The task of each team is to cover the designated distance in a special way, fill the bag with sand and bring it back. The man takes a lying position (face down), rises on his arms and rests on his palms. The woman grabs her partner by the ankles and lifts his legs. Thus, the couple reaches their destination, where they quickly collect sand. Then the man puts the woman on his back, picks up a sandbag and runs back. 5 minutes are allotted for the competition.

The pair that brings the most bags in the allotted time wins.

Game "Putanka"

All children who want to play can play. Participants stand in a circle. The driver walks in the middle. He points to any player and gives some command (for example, “hands up”). The participant pointed to by the driver must freeze without moving, and the neighbors on the left and right should raise their hands. This needs to be done quickly. Then the driver points to the other players, giving some other commands (for example, “sit down”, “jump”, “sing”, “raise your right hand”, “raise your left leg”, “sneeze”, “laugh loudly”, “ crow") Neighbors must complete this task.

Children who get confused and deviate from the rules are eliminated. The game continues until the last three participants.

Game "Can"

Everyone can play. One person is appointed as the leader. He picks up a watch with a second hand.

The game begins with the presenter calling any letter. The task of the other participants is to take turns naming objects that can be placed in the can using this letter. The one on whom the hitch occurs has 30 seconds to save himself. If he fails to come up with anything during this time, he drops out of the game and becomes a “doctor.” The letter for the words changes and the game continues. The "Doctor" can save dying players. Three saved participants give him the right to re-enter the game. The game continues until interest disappears.

Children are divided into several teams of 4 people each. Participants in each group stand in a row (at the back of each other’s heads), take hold of the waist and squat down, forming a centipede. The presenter invites the children to show how the centipede dances, moves, goes to sleep, wakes up, and does other actions. The team that worked more harmoniously wins.

Outdoor games

Fanta.

You will need: an opaque bag and notes with concepts, for example, “adultery,” “stormy delight,” etc.

Each player takes turns pulling out a concept from the bag, he is given time to prepare (about a minute), and he must depict this concept without words.

Cucumber.

You will need: a large cucumber, an apple or another vegetable or fruit.

A presenter is selected. The rest of the participants stand in a circle, shoulder to shoulder, with their hands all behind their backs. The leader stands in the center of the circle. The apple is passed between the participants as discreetly as possible, from hand to hand. The presenter’s task is to determine who has it. When the presenter is looking in the other direction, the one who has the apple in his hands must quietly bite off a piece and pass the apple on. The players' task is to eat the whole apple.

If the leader guesses who has it, that person becomes the leader, a new apple is taken, and the game begins again.

If the apple is eaten, and the presenter could not guess even once, then he performs some kind of forfeit (at the discretion of the other guests).

At random.

The host chooses a player, sits him on a chair, and blindfolds him (or her).

Then the host randomly points to one of the guests and asks each time: “This one?” until the player answers “yes.” This way the second player is selected.

Then they continue to ask the first one, showing an arbitrary number on their fingers: “How much?” (again until an affirmative answer is received).

Then, pointing to any parts of the second player’s body, they ask the question: “Here?”

In this way, they get the answer which of the guests, how many times and where exactly the first player should kiss.

Coin.

You will need: a coin.

They choose a leader who sits on a chair, closes his eyes and presses a coin between his lips.

The remaining players stand in a row and pass each other an object (for example, a glass). When the presenter says: “Stop!”, the one who has the transferred object in his hands must come up and pull the coin out of the leader’s lips with his lips, and then return to his place.

After this, the presenter opens his eyes and tries to guess who took his coin.

When the leader guesses, the one who pulled out the coin takes his place, and the game continues.

Chained by one chain.

You will need: several colored ribbons.

All participants stand next to the leader, who clutches the ribbons in his fist, holding them by the middle. Each player quickly grabs one end of the tape, and the leader releases them. A couple holding opposite ends of the same ribbon kisses.

Strip show.

You will need: chairs (according to the number of participants).

The chairs are placed in a circle. The participants stand behind them. The presenter turns on the music - all participants move in a circle in one direction, turns it off - they stop.

Everyone must take off some thing (item of clothing) and put it on the chair next to which he stopped. And so on up to a predetermined limit. Then the participants must dress in the same manner.

The lady sent it to you.

This is an old game. They play it together, but it can also be played with a larger number of participants.

The presenter says the following phrase: “The lady sent you a toilet, there are a hundred rubles in the toilet. Take whatever you want. Don't wear black and white. Don’t say “yes” or “no”. Will you go to the ball?

The player addressed by the presenter answers, and the game continues on its own.

The host asks the participants any questions, provoking them to answer “yes” or “no” or to choose something white or black for the ball (that is, something that is prohibited by the terms of the game). Those who fall into his traps are eliminated from the game.

Blind Man's Bluff.

You will need: a blindfold.

This game has been familiar to many since childhood, but it is still interesting to play even at an older age.

Remove unnecessary furniture from the room to avoid injury. The presenter is blindfolded, spun around, then everyone runs away. The presenter’s task is to catch one of the players and identify him by touch. If he guesses correctly, the player who was caught becomes the leader. If not, the game continues.

Bottle.

Option 1

You will need: an empty glass bottle. All guests sit in a circle, the bottle is placed on its side and spun by one of the players. When it stops, that player must kiss whoever the neck of the bottle points to.

Option 2

You will need: an empty glass bottle, notes. Write tasks in advance on small pieces of paper, for example: “Kiss three times”, “Make a compliment”, “Wish you health”, “Dance together”, etc. The notes are rolled up into tubes and placed inside the bottle. One of the players spins the bottle. When it stops, the player to whom the neck is pointed takes a note out of the bottle. The first participant must complete the task indicated in this note.

Competitions

In any company you can offer to hold some kind of competition. This can be either a thematic competition or just a practical joke.

Advertising competition.

Nowadays, there is probably no person who does not watch TV and read newspapers. But everywhere we come across advertising. There is nothing simpler - offer to hold a so-called advertising competition.

Several participants are called. The more of them there are at the very beginning, the better. The presenter tells the rules.

Each participant, in turn (to avoid confusion, line up the players in a line) must name some advertising slogan (of any company, organization, etc., for example, “Sprite - don’t let yourself dry out,” or “Always Coca-Cola ", or "Furniture salon "Victoria" - your victory over inconvenience." Any product can be advertised: products ("Bounty - heavenly delight"), drinks ("Tea "Conversation" - created to give warmth"), cleaning products and washing powders (“Clean – pure Tide.”) This could be political (“Vote with your heart”) or social (“Call your parents”) advertising.

You need to name the slogan quickly, without wasting time on thinking. The player who is lost in thought is eliminated from the game. This continues until there is only one winner left. You can somehow symbolically reward him, for example, prepare a small poster on which you can beautifully paste clippings of the most famous slogans or company names. In the middle of the poster you can leave a place for a photograph and write next to it: “A great expert in advertising.”

Beauty contest.

To conduct this competition, you can recruit participants in advance, or you can find them directly at the party. There are two options for conducting this competition.

Option 1

Participants choose original, funny costumes and attributes and answer questions from the competition organizers.

Option 2

Women are encouraged to portray men, and men – women. Of course, everything depends on the imagination of the participants.

Men can build themselves a size seven bust (no worse than Verka Serduchka’s), put on makeup, tie all sorts of bows, miniskirts look especially erotic on hairy male legs...

Women can glue on themselves a huge mustache, a beard (made of thread), put potatoes in their trousers, you understand that it’s in the front, not the back...

Questions for participants

What do you value most in members of the opposite sex?

What would you wish for all people on Earth?

What is your favorite thing to do?

If you were to play Shapoklyak (Quasimodo) in a movie, how would you portray her/him?

Please draw your favorite fruit.

Please imagine that you are a printer (copier). Depict the following actions: you are standing idle, typing, reporting that you are out of paper, chewing on paper...

You can continue the list of questions yourself, the main thing is that they are frivolous, original, and the answers to them suggest something funny.

Competition "Hit the Target"

Anything can be used as a target: a mannequin, someone's photograph, a drawing of a naked woman, just a piece of paper. The main thing is to remember to draw a center on the target, the so-called bull’s-eye, which you should hit.

Participants are called.

They must take turns shooting prepared projectiles at the target.

You can use anything as a projectile, but it is desirable that it leaves fairly noticeable marks. These can be overripe fruits, vegetables or berries (cherries, tomatoes, strawberries). The first participant to hit the bull's eye receives a prize. As a prize, you can use the same products as for shells, but only of good quality.

Competition "Who is faster"

Several participants are selected (it is better if there are not too many of them). They must compete with each other to see who gets to the finish line faster. To complicate the task, they wear either very loose shoes (ideally, they should be five sizes larger than what the participant is wearing), or a bag that restricts movement. Make sure in advance that no one gets hurt during the game: move furniture with sharp corners away, lay a soft carpet on the floor...

Competition-game “Rope”

Two presenters are selected. They take in their hands a bright ribbon, a rope (you can get by with a jump rope) so that everyone has the end of this rope in their hands, and pull it together at the level of, for example, their heads. Rhythmic music is turned on, and the rest of the guests line up in a chain. Everyone must pass under this rope without touching it. The presenters lower the tape slightly after each player. The one of the participants who still touches the tape is eliminated. The last one left wins. You can give him a prize (at least give him the rope itself as a souvenir).

Competition "Clothing"

Option 1

You will need: a large box, various items of clothing (the funnier the better; you can use bonnets, “family” panties and very large bras, a sleeping cap (if you can find one), a huge frill, etc.

The presenter invites everyone present, without looking, to take something out of the box and put it on themselves (with the condition not to take it off, say, for the next half hour). Guests stand in a circle and, to the music, begin to pass this box to each other. At the presenter’s signal (or when the music ends), the one in whose hands the box remains must pull something out of it and put it on.

Option 2

You will need: two boxes of things.

Guests are divided into two teams, in each of which a “victim” is chosen, and at the leader’s signal, all team members must put as many things from the box on their “victim” as possible.

Competition "Drawings"

You will need: several sheets of paper and colored pencils (or markers).

All guests are given a sheet of paper and a set of pencils and are asked to draw some concept, for example “love story”, “honeymoon”, etc.

Competition "Whose chain is longer"

All those present are divided into two teams (you can create both mixed teams and those strictly divided into men and women). At the leader’s signal, the players must take turns taking off something from themselves and putting it on the floor, creating a line. The team with the longest chain of clothes wins.

Competition "Burst the Ball"

Participants are divided into pairs, and each pair is given an inflatable balloon. The task of each pair is to pierce their ball as quickly as possible without the help of hands, as well as piercing and cutting objects. To do this, couples stand facing each other, and the ball is squeezed between them. The balls burst with counter movements of the bodies; for added fun, you can put on music, for example from the film “Emmanuelle”.

Competition “Pass it to someone else”

You will need: two long inflatable balloons.

Those present are divided into two teams. Each team is given a ball; it must be held between the legs and passed to each other without the help of hands, so to speak, “from foot to foot.” The team that passes this ball to each other faster to the last player wins.

Competition "Aquarius"

You will need: two glasses and a straw for each participant.

Two glasses are placed on a hard surface in front of each player - empty and filled with some liquid (water, vodka, wine, etc.). Each person is given a straw (or a straw for cocktails).

The one who does it earlier and better wins.

Competition "Unlock the Lock"

You will need: two large padlocks, two sets of keys.

The team that manages to do this faster wins.

Competition "Men's Victories"

The player with the most drawings wins.

Competition "Looking Far"

You will need: binoculars (field glasses are best), a pair of fins.

Players, one at a time, must wear fins and walk along a predetermined route, looking through binoculars from the reverse side (vice versa).

You will need: forks (one for each participant), thread.

Each participant is tied to a fork belt (to increase the difficulty, it is better to tie it from behind). The difficulty of completing the task depends on how long the thread is.

Competition "Shoe store"

You will need: several boots and shoes, a large box.

Everyone who wants to play is divided into two teams, and a captain is selected for each team. While the captains go into the next room, a large box is brought out, the prepared shoes are put there, then each member of the team takes off one of the shoes (it doesn’t matter whether it’s right or left), and all these shoes are also put into the box. Then the teams sit down on chairs and the captains come in. The captains' task is to get their team into shoes as quickly as possible.

All volunteers are called in turn. A chair is placed in the center of the room and a prize is placed on it. A volunteer approaches a chair, stands with his back to it, moves away a certain number of steps, is blindfolded, and rotated around its axis.

Then he must randomly choose a direction and take exactly as many steps forward as he took away from the chair.

The one who manages to get back to the chair with the prize wins.

Competition "Brave Little Tailor"

You will need: two spoons, two long ropes (for example, a roll of clothesline).

To do this, one end of the rope is tied to a spoon and with its help the entire team lined up in a line is tied.

For men, the rope is passed through the legs, for women - through the sleeves. The team tied first wins.

Guessing competition

Option 1 Guests are divided into two teams. The first team thinks of any word or concept and calls one member of the opposing team out the door. There they tell him this word (concept). The player must, using gestures and facial expressions, but without words, convey to his team what they have wished for him. The team that guesses the most wins.

Competition "In Paradise"

You will need: an apple.

The players sit at the table (in a circle). The presenter takes an apple, places it on one of the players so that he squeezes it between his shoulder and, for example, his ear or chin.

They play in pairs. The men are blindfolded, and in the meantime clothespins are placed on their partners (they are attached to the dress, hair, ears, etc.). Men are told that within a certain time (for example, a minute) they must remove all the clothespins from their lady with their eyes closed (you can tell how many exactly). The first one wins.

As a practical joke, you can say that the lady has one or two more clothespins attached to her than she actually has. Men will get away with it, looking for the missing clothespins in the secluded corners of their girlfriends’ bodies...

Competition "Don't Spill!"

You will need: glasses, children's toy cars, strings.

All cars have strings attached to them (the longer the better). A glass full to the brim is placed on the roof (you can pour either regular soda or something hot).

The one who succeeds before the rest wins.

Competition "Best Drawing"

You will need: thick sheets of paper, markers, strings.

Felt pens are suspended at a height of 1.5–1.6 m from the floor. A participant approaches each of them with his own sheet of paper. The task of the competitors is to draw some kind of figure on the “canvas” (everyone is given one task), for example, a little man, moving not with a felt-tip pen, but with the sheet itself.

The winner is chosen by the audience.

Competition "Eat Me"

You will need: bananas.

All participants are given a banana in their pocket. At the leader’s signal, the players must, whoever is faster, take a banana out of their pocket, peel it and eat it.

The one who says the last word wins.

Competition "Dances with Wolves"

You will need: sheets of paper of the same size, chairs.

Couples are called. The men sit on chairs and sheets of paper are placed on their laps.

The most persistent wins.

Competition "Warm-up"

You will need: several balloons.

When you need to warm up, play this game. All those present are divided into two teams, a line is drawn on the floor, and the teams stand on either side of it. Balloons are placed on the line. At the signal from the leader, you must use your feet to push all the balls from your field into the territory of the opposing team.

Strip Club Competition

You will need: an ordinary household elastic band, cut into equal parts and sewn into rings (the resulting rings should be easy to put on and take off from a person).

All girls are called. They wear the same number of elastic bands around their waists. To the erotic melody, girls must remove these rubber bands one by one through their legs. The one who manages to do it the most sexy wins.

Competition "Eggs"

You will need: plastic bags, strings, raw eggs.

Men are called to fight. They hang plastic bags in front of them containing eggs (the quantity is chosen arbitrarily, but it should be the same for everyone).

Reasons to get together

Birthdays

Remember the words from the children's song: “Unfortunately, birthdays only come once a year!” This means that it must be celebrated in such a way that later it will not be excruciatingly painful for the melancholy and boredom that reigns during the holiday; in general, every birthday should be remembered!

Congratulation games

Postcard.

First, as usual, the hero of the occasion is congratulated. To do this, you can prepare a congratulation template in advance, in which all adjectives are omitted. The text is written on a beautiful card, leaving empty space for missing words.

On this ____________________ and ____________________ day, when so many ____________________ and ____________________ friends have gathered in this ____________________ and ____________________ hall, at this ____________________ table, we want ____________________ to congratulate our ____________________ and ____________________ birthday boy! We want ____________________ to wish him (her) ____________________ days of life, ____________________ health, ____________________ friends and ____________________ love!

May he (she) be the most ____________________ on earth, may ____________________ success and ____________________ luck accompany him in life!

Happy birthday!

Your friends.

The text of the congratulations may be different, at your discretion. The one who prepared this congratulation at the holiday itself asks all the other guests to help him with the text. Guests should name any adjectives that come to mind, the host writes them down one by one, gradually filling in all the empty spaces.

When the congratulation is ready, the presenter solemnly reads it out. The texts are very diverse, depending on the adjectives proposed at random, for example: deep, first, good, expensive, lazy, full, precious, correct, affectionate, harmful, powerful, honest, happy, rich, expensive, small, best, whole, ticklish.

This is the text we will get in the end:

On this deep and first day, when so many lazy and overweight friends have gathered in this good and expensive hall, at this precious table, we want to properly congratulate our affectionate and mischievous birthday boy! We want to powerfully wish him (her) honest days of life, happy health, rich friends and expensive love!

Let him (she) be the smallest on earth, let the best success and good luck accompany him in life!

Happy birthday!

Your ticklish friends.

Wishes.

For this congratulation you will need a fairly long rope, thread and a needle, a dark blindfold, scissors, and paper.

The rope is pulled in the room at the chest level of the birthday boy. Then all the guests present cut out from paper what they would like to wish to the hero of the occasion. It can be anything: a car, a baby doll, money, a computer, etc. The main thing is that there should be a lot of wishes, and it is better that they are not repeated. Then all these figures cut out of paper are attached with a needle and thread to a rope stretched in advance, the birthday boy is blindfolded, and he must reach the rope and randomly cut off one of his wishes (choosing a figure by touch is not allowed). What the birthday boy chose for himself at random will definitely appear in his possession this year.

Congratulations in verse.

Take a blank sheet of paper (preferably a long one) and pass it around the circle of guests. Each of the guests is invited to write a line of a poem (in turn).

This greeting has two options.

Option 1. The first of the guests writes a line so that its last word is written on a separate line, then the sheet is folded so that the main text is not visible, but only the rhyme is visible, and the sheet is passed further around the circle. The next guest must write his line in rhyme, and so that this text can also be closed, and the last word can be seen.

Happy Birthday.

Congratulations,

Happiness, joy.

We have a lot of gifts.

Good love.

Then the sheet is unfolded and the entire poem is read aloud to the birthday person.

Option 2. The first line is given (the presenter can suggest it) and written on a piece of paper.

The first of the guests writes his line in rhyme, closes the entire text (folds the piece of paper) and writes another line for the next “poet”. The piece of paper is passed further around the circle. The next guest must write his line in rhyme, fold the piece of paper and offer his second line to his neighbor.

It turns out something like this:

Our dear Sveta!

Always be, winter and summer,

The red sun is brighter,

We'll all have more fun...

Undress the birthday boy.

In advance, secretly from the hero of the occasion, a full-length figure of a man is made from cardboard. It is desirable that this mannequin be as similar as possible to the birthday boy/girl.

Clothes cut out of paper are put on the mannequin. Then the host plays a game: all guests are asked questions related to the hero of the day (for example, when he was born, where, favorite dish, favorite color, etc.). For each correct answer, some clothing is removed from the mannequin. In the end, the mannequin remains either completely naked or covered in intimate places with leaves with wishes (the leaves can be replaced with greeting cards).

Find a greeting.

They write a congratulation on a piece of paper in advance (preferably in verse, but not necessarily), cut it into separate lines (or phrases) and place these pieces of paper in the folds of clothing (if the birthday boy is a man, then they hide it in the girls’ clothes, and vice versa). The hero of the occasion must, amid the shouts of the guests “cold - hot,” find all the lines as quickly as possible (you can turn on some fast, rhythmic music). Then the text is folded and read aloud.

Portrait The hero of the occasion is seated so that everyone can see him. A blank piece of Whatman paper is placed next to it. Each of the guests in turn must blindfolded approach the sheet, take a pencil (or felt-tip pen) and draw some part of the birthday person’s body. Then the next participant comes up. When the portrait is finished, they put a cool congratulatory inscription on it and give it to the hero of the day.

Kisses.

Take the baby doll and run it around the guests in a circle. Each of the guests should congratulate the birthday boy, and then, declaring: “I kiss (name of the hero of the day) on (part of the body),” kiss the baby doll in the place he named. You can't repeat yourself! Of course, decent body parts quickly run out, and nothing limits the flight of imagination further...

When the doll has passed a full circle, the presenter announces: “And now everyone must kiss the birthday boy himself where he just named!”

You can try to pay off the birthday boy (if you don’t want to kiss him).

New Year

Every year everyone in the world (both children and adults) is ready to believe in a fairy tale, in a miracle. This happens in winter, when the house is filled with the smell of pine needles, snow crunches under the windows and even the stars seem to burn brighter...

Fortune telling

On Christmastide or New Year, girls can arrange real fortune-telling. Usually, with the help of fortune telling, they want to find out the name and appearance of the betrothed, or how the future family will live, or to answer the questions that torment a person. Choose any of the fortune telling below and try to look into the future. Maybe something will work out for you...

Subtle fortune telling.

Everyone present in the room takes off something. In the old days, this was usually a ring, but you can give any piece of jewelry: an earring, bracelet, beads, brooch, hairpin, etc. All these things are placed on a plate or large dish, which is covered with an opaque scarf or any other fabric. Then the fortuneteller makes a prediction (once upon a time songs were sung as predictions, but you can simply say your wishes; of course, predictions must be good, although in the old days there were divine songs that even predicted early death...), takes it out without looking , any thing and asks who it belongs to. Accordingly, the future was predicted for the owner of the item taken out.

If you don't believe in fortune telling in principle, you can turn everything into a show. To do this, you can sing pre-selected verses from famous pop songs as follow-up notes and then address them directly to the owner of the removed jewelry.

For example, the verse is sung:

“Bananas, coconuts.

Orange paradise.

You just have to want it

Maybe the stars

You just have to want it

Collect from the sky..."

Then they take out some thing without looking, ask who it belongs to, and “translate” the prediction: “An unforgettable vacation awaits you this summer!”

Fortune telling with mirrors.

Girls usually tell fortunes about their grooms. The device is placed on the table, two mirrors are placed opposite each other behind it, so that a small corridor appears to be formed between them, and two candles are placed on each side. The girl turns off the light in the room, sits down at the table, lights candles and says: “Mummer, betrothed, come have dinner with me.” Then she sits and looks in the mirror for a long time. When the face of her betrothed appears to her, she must throw the prepared scarf over the mirror.

Fortune telling with a ring.

Pour water into a glass. Take a wedding ring for fortune telling and tie a thread to it. The fortuneteller holds the end of the thread in his hands and asks a question, and then brings the ring on the thread to the glass so that it does not touch the water and watches. If the ring moves over the water in a circle to the left, then this means “yes”, to the right - “no”.

Fortune telling for children.

You can tell fortunes on any day, not only on Christmastide. A person who wants to know how many children and what gender he will have extends his left hand, palm up. The fortuneteller takes a needle and thread and holds it above his palm. If the needle moves in a circle, the first child will be a girl; if from left to right or top to bottom, the first child will be a boy. When the needle freezes, take it to the side and then bring it again. This way you can find out the gender of all other children and their estimated number. Fortune telling stops when the needle held to the palm does not move.

Fortune telling with a glass of water.

This fortune telling allows you to get answers to all questions, but only during Christmas week.

The question should be such that it can be answered “yes” or “no”.

The fortuneteller takes a glass, pours seven tablespoons of water into it (measure exactly, this is important!), asks a question (for example, will I get married this year?) and goes to bed. After that you can’t talk to anyone anymore!

In the morning, when they wake up, they check (again carefully!) how much water is in the glass. If the water has decreased, then the answer is negative, and if it has increased, the answer is positive.

Fortune telling with chicken.

If almost all previous fortune-telling is designed for one person, then this fortune-telling will amuse the whole company.

They are telling fortunes for the New Year. Any grain is scattered on the floor in the room, and then a chicken is brought into the room. If the chicken immediately begins to peck the grain, it means that the year will be nourishing and fruitful.

And if she is quietly doing some other business, wait for a hungry year, our ancestors believed.

Fortune telling with a Christmas tree.

At night, clean sheets of paper (of the same size) are laid out around the tree. Each sheet corresponds to a month of the year (accordingly, you need to put twelve sheets). In the morning they check: which piece of paper has more fallen spruce needles on it, that month will be richer and happier.

In general, they look to see how many needles have fallen off. If there is a lot, then the year as a whole will be fruitful and rich.

Fortune telling with rods.

In the evening everyone leaves the house and sticks rods into the snow. In the morning they look: those whose twigs remain standing will have a successful year; Anyone whose twig has fallen should be careful.

Fortune telling with a log.

The girls, without looking, pull out a log from the woodpile. If a girl pulls out a knotty log, it means she will be married to a rich man, if a smooth one, it means she will marry a poor one.

There was another interpretation of this fortune telling. If a girl pulls out a smooth log, it means her husband will be smooth and affectionate.

If he pulls out a knotty one, it means that the husband’s character will be quarrelsome.

Fortune telling by names.

The girls go out into the street and ask the names of the first passers-by they come across. According to legend, whatever the guy’s name is, that’s what the husband’s name will be. If a woman comes across first, it means that the future mother-in-law will have that name.

Fortune telling by shoe.

“Once on Epiphany evening the girls wondered: they took a shoe off their foot and threw it behind the gate...” We are all familiar with these lines from childhood. Indeed, such fortune telling also existed. The girl went outside, took off her shoe and threw it away. Where he points with his toe is where the girl will live after marriage.

Fortune telling with an onion.

Take an onion and cut it into 12 equal parts (according to the number of months in the year). Then each part is sprinkled with salt and left overnight. In the morning they look at which part of the salt is wet - that month will be rainy. If the salt remained dry, it means there will be no rain for a month.

Fortune telling by wax.

Place the candle fragments into a large spoon and hold the spoon over the fire until all the wax has melted. Then the melted wax is quickly poured into a prepared bowl of cold water. The future is judged by the resulting figure.

Fortune telling by shadow.

Take a large sheet of paper, crumple it up, put it on a plate and set it on fire. The plate with ashes is held so that the shadow of the resulting lump falls on the wall. The future is judged by the resulting figure.

Fortune-telling pranks

These fortune telling require preliminary preparation.

Fortune telling with cards.

This fortune telling can be done both on New Year's holidays and at any time of the year. Leaves with predictions are prepared in advance (it is advisable that these are not just cut-up notebook leaves, but cards, for example). The text of the predictions can be anything. The prediction itself may already contain a joke, or as a joke, the same phrase is written at the end of each prediction.

For example, a card may contain the following text: “Good luck awaits you in the New Year, glory will knock on your doors. Open the doors to Slava - he is a good man.” Another option is to write different predictions on all the cards and end everything the same way. For example, “In the summer, new acquaintances and amazing sex await you,” “You will receive many orders from production and amazing sex awaits you.” The funny thing is that all these predictions are read out loud by the “recipients”, and on the third or fourth wish for “amazing sex” everyone begins to fall into hysterics, of course from laughter.

Fortune telling with balloons.

So, you have already decided on the list of invitees. Buy several more balloons than the number of expected guests. Write your predictions on pieces of paper. They can contain any text, for example: “Start coming up with a name” (clearly, we are talking about the birth of a child) or “Start saving money - and then you will have a wonderful vacation at the resort.” You can come up with the text yourself or consult with friends and family. It is still advisable that as few people as possible know about this draw in advance, otherwise they will not be so interested.

Fortune telling by keychains.

Nowadays a wide variety of keychains are sold. Buy everything you can find, wrap them in gift paper and put them in one capacious bag (you can sew it yourself or use a regular bag).

At the holiday, each of the guests will have to pull out one keychain without looking, unfold it, and you will tell them what awaits the guest in the New Year.

For example, a keychain in the shape of a doll - expect a new addition to the family, an organizer - success in business awaits you, a cigarette - take care of your health, a flashlight - you will be as perspicacious as ever.

Fortune telling for the betrothed.

It is better not to reveal the secret of this fortune telling to anyone. In the company you talk about how you know how (really know how!) to predict the name of your betrothed. It can even be read on your hand. Choose a “victim” for yourself, take her hand in yours, whisper something (for mystery), then burn a few matches, roll up your sleeve to your elbow, take a handful of burnt matches and rub them into your hand. Lo and behold, the name actually appears on your hand!

Let's reveal a secret: you first write the name on your hand with soap. When you rub burnt matches, your hand turns black, but the letters written with soap remain white! Of course, in order to tell fortunes to the next person, you will first need to wash your hands. Then write the following name on dry skin. And so on until you have told fortunes to everyone who wants them, and you will have plenty of them!

Fortune telling with wishes.

For this fortune telling you will need a long rope, thread with a needle, a dark blindfold, scissors, and paper.

The rope is stretched in the room at chest level. Then all the guests present cut out from paper what they would like to wish each other in the New Year (such figures can be prepared in advance by one of those present, for example the organizer of the holiday). It can be anything: a car, a baby doll, money, a computer, etc. The main thing is that there should be a lot of wishes and they should not be repeated. Then all these figures cut out of paper are attached with a needle and thread to a rope stretched in advance, each of the guests is blindfolded in turn, and he must reach the rope and randomly cut off one of the wishes for himself (choosing a figure by touch is not allowed). What a person chose for himself at random will definitely appear to him this year.

Fortune telling on a sheet of paper.

Everyone who wants to tell fortunes is given a piece of paper and a pen. The letters are written in a column on the piece of paper:

In the second column they write:

Opposite each abbreviation in the first column, all participants write one line from the song (any), in the second column, opposite each abbreviation, they write a proverb.

When everyone has filled out their pieces of paper (it is advisable that there are not too many fortune tellers, otherwise you can get confused), the presenter deciphers the abbreviations:

GDS – one year before the wedding;

MDS – a month before the wedding;

VAT – a week before the wedding;

DDS – day before the wedding;

DS – wedding day;

DPS – the day after the wedding;

NPS – week after the wedding;

MPS – month after the wedding;

GPS – one year after the wedding;

DD is the motto of friendship;

DL – the motto of love;

DP is the motto of the bed;

JJ is the motto of life.

Most often, quite funny combinations are obtained, for example: the bed motto is “Measure twice, cut once,” the wedding day is “I got drunk,” etc.

Fortune telling with matches.

You can play a prank on one of the guests by inviting him to tell fortunes for his betrothed.

The main thing is to choose a non-offensive person so that the joke does not turn into a quarrel.

They ask the fortuneteller to take an arbitrary number of matches out of the box, break off the heads of sulfur and insert the pieces into his mouth, ears, or wherever he wants. Then they bring the “victim” to the mirror and ask: “Well, who needs you?”

Fortune telling with a cigarette.

Offer to tell someone's hand. Having chosen one of those willing, declare that you know a new way of telling fortunes along the lines of the hand using cigarette ash. Take the right hand of the person to whom you are going to tell fortunes, and gently shake off the ashes from a lit cigarette into his palm (it won’t hurt, but if you are very afraid, you can pour the already cooled ashes onto your palm). Then ask your “guinea pig” to make as many circles (clockwise) with the thumb of his left hand on his ash-covered palm as he is full years old. When the procedure is completed, with a thoughtful look, having examined the palm of the “victim”, declare: “Hmm yes... Well, I have to tell you... You are a bad ashtray!”

Fortune telling in your pocket.

Write or print out all kinds of predictions in advance (the texts of the predictions can be taken from the Book of Changes, from any other books, you can even use poetic lines), place them discreetly in the pockets of the guests, and shortly before the chimes strike (or immediately after it) invite everyone to find them at your place these predictions and read them out.

The second version of this fortune telling: when all these pieces of paper are put together, for example, in an old big hat and the guests take turns pulling them out according to the prediction. You can even play the old fashioned game and, if you have a parrot, teach it to pull out pieces of paper. Then each guest will receive a prediction from a “learned bird.”

Masquerade ball

Have you already chosen the appropriate fortune telling? Then you urgently need to organize a gala reception on the occasion of the New Year, where you can show off your knowledge.

You can organize a masquerade ball yourself, but you will have to prepare for it in advance.

First, make a guest list. Send invitations to everyone you want to see at this New Year's party (at least a couple of months in advance), specifying that this will be a masquerade, so costumes and masks are a must.

Don't forget about your suit. Don't put off sewing it for too long.

Having received answers from those invited (surely everyone won’t be able to come for a variety of reasons), take care of the menu.

It has already become a tradition to prepare salads “Olivier” and “Herring under a fur coat” for the New Year. You can support the tradition, or you can set the table in a special way.

By the way, decide where the feast will take place in advance. If you and your friends prefer restaurant food, discuss the menu with everyone invited and decide how much it will cost you. The money issue should be resolved in any case, no matter where the holiday takes place - in a cafe, restaurant, in the open air or in your apartment. Please note that the dimensions of the latter may simply not correspond to the chosen event.

Now many schools and kindergartens make their living by renting out premises for such large-scale events. It costs less than a cafe.

So, the issue of the venue has been resolved. Let's now fully understand the menu. You can cook everything yourself (though then your only desire will be to lie down somewhere in a quiet, cozy place and sleep peacefully throughout New Year’s Eve), you can hire an assistant (most often at your own peril and risk, since you don’t know her culinary abilities ), or you can equally distribute all the work between the invitees (make sure that the work is really divided equally, because preparing some incredibly complex dish is not the same as slicing bread for the table).

Start decorating the banquet hall. The easiest way to do this is if you celebrate the holiday in your own apartment, there you can do everything gradually, without rushing. If you choose a restaurant, you will not have any hassle at all; decorating the hall for the New Year is considered a matter of honor for the administrator.

If your option is a canteen (school or kindergarten), you will have to work hard.

Prepare all kinds of posters in advance, for example: “2004 is the year of the Monkey”, “Long live the New Year!”, “In the year of the Ox we wish women more bulls, men more horns!”, “So that this year we are attacked by crazy money and we We couldn’t fight them off!”, “May the New Year bring good luck!”, “May we have everything in the New Year and not have to pay anything for it!” and etc.

You can hang Christmas balls, garlands, tinsel, and rain on the walls and chandeliers. Traditionally, the main decoration of the New Year is the Christmas tree; you can make beautiful wreaths from spruce branches, put pine or spruce branches in vases, both floor and tabletop. On glass and mirrors you can draw snowflakes, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, and a bag of gifts. Moreover, it is better to draw figures with gouache, and snowflakes can be drawn with tooth powder diluted with water.

Snowflakes can be cut out in advance from paper - white, silver, gold and even colored - and also decorate the walls with them.

You can arrange a buffet table or a real feast. But remember: since you decide to do without a traditional TV during the holiday, be sure to make sure that you and your guests do not get bored. Hold a win-win lottery and all kinds of competitions. Prepare some interesting toasts.

And don't forget that you are throwing a costume party! In the old days, all those invited to the masquerade were already wearing masks, and the dancing lasted until midnight. At exactly midnight, all guests took off their masks.

You can arrange something like this. If you gather a lot of strangers or people who don’t know each other well, you can even hold a competition.

New Year's games

Recognition competition.

A large box is placed in a prominent place in the hall, with pieces of paper and pens lying nearby. Guests can come to this box and write down all the masks they recognize (for example, Fox - Alenka from apartment five, etc.). Each guest must sign their message. After midnight, when the masks are removed, you can start summing up the results. The guest who guesses the largest number of masks receives a prize.

Other competitions.

You can hold a competition for the best male and female costume, for the best couple, and choose the king and queen of the evening.

The knight must show his lady all sorts of attention, trying to do it as unnoticeably as possible (say veiled toasts in her honor, cast his vote for her when choosing the queen of the holiday, etc.). The role of the lady is to recognize her knight (or knights). In the general noise and commotion, this is not so easy to do.

After the game, you can reward the most tactful knight and the most insightful lady.

About the dignity of being a guest, having the dignity of being at festivities.

Before appearing, a multinational guest must be:

- I wash carefully, without skipping any places, I shave carefully, so as not to cause any damage to the ladies’ tenderness with vile stubble;

- half hungry and just a little drunk.

When you come to visit, familiarize yourself with the layout of the house in advance, with ease, especially noting the location of the closets, and put the information aside in that part of the mind that is less prone to guilt than others.

Consume food in moderation so that your heavy belly does not interfere with your dancing. Drink the potion as much as your legs can hold; If they refuse, drink while sitting.

Do not offer it to someone who is lying down, so as not to choke, even if he asks. Glory to those who choked, for this death has been honorable since ancient times in Rus'.

If you don’t know what to do, rely on your wife - she is the guardian of the state’s vigil.

Place the drunk ones carefully so as not to damage them and not interfere with the dancing. Fold separately, respecting the floor, otherwise you won’t be embarrassed when you wake up.

Having sensed trouble, do not panic, but quickly follow to the designated place, do not hesitate along the way and use all your strength to maintain the belly that villainously betrayed you in the fortress.

Being without a wife, or even, God willing, single, look at the ladies’ charms not with open greed, but on the sly - they notice this too, don’t hesitate. In this manner, you will respect them, and you will not be considered impudent. Use your hands, being very careful and only having received a clear sign that it is allowed, otherwise you will wear your embarrassment on your face for a long time.

Without singing there is no joy in Rus', but it begins at the master’s sign. Don’t get into a rage and listen to your neighbor - by braying alone, you become like Valaam’s donkey, and with your musicality and sweet voice, on the contrary, you will earn many praises from the guests. Remember, a lady’s heart is malleable to music.

A trip to nature by a friendly and large team is always a positive emotion. Music, barbecue, informal communication - all this is conducive to this type of recreation and makes it especially popular. In order to make it even more interesting and memorable, it is necessary to prepare various competitions in advance, and then everyone will have the opportunity to have fun and be charged with positive emotions for all working days. Fortunately, today there are no problems with choosing entertainment: just go to the Internet and you can choose any competition from hundreds of presented ones. This article is intended to help a little, which also talks about various fun competitions and competitions for corporate events. So, let's begin!

Competitions in nature

Potato

To hold the competition, you will need two teams, each consisting of 5-7 people, several kilograms of potatoes, which can then be baked in a lighted fire, and two buckets. The potatoes are divided in half, the teams line up along a line, opposite which a bucket is placed at a distance of 5 m. The task of each team is to throw as many potatoes into their bucket as possible and make as few mistakes as possible. They throw everything one by one, without going beyond the line.

Tug of War

This fun is hundreds of years old, but it is still relevant! Two teams, a car rope with a mark in the middle - and the competition for advantage in physical strength can begin!

It must be said that very often the winner is not the team whose members have more muscle volume, but the one whose members were able to achieve greater coherence and organization of actions.

Swamp

Everyone probably remembers this game from childhood too. The clearing is a swamp, the cardboards are the hummocks laid out on it, and the two teams are tired travelers who need to cross the swamp and back as quickly as possible. The winner, of course, is the team that does it faster..

Jumping over the fire

The jumping over the fire stated above is a rather dangerous activity, so it is better to jump over Kostya. He ate, drank and fell asleep next to a pile of backpacks, and therefore let him serve the purpose of entertaining the team, which must jump over him without disturbing the vacationer’s sleep. By the way, the number of jumps should be even, because Kostya is still growing and growing. And if you don’t have Kostya in your team, look at the drinks box - there will definitely be someone there to replace you.

Loaders team

The competition is exciting and fun, and a sandy beach is chosen for its holding. Two teams, two buckets and two sieves. The team lines up in front of the bucket. The one who is farthest from him scoops up the sand with a sieve, passing it along the relay race. The time is fixed, the team whose bucket is fuller wins.

Nimble jumper

There is every reason to hold this competition outdoors: it is moving, “wet” and noisy. The participant holds a glass of water and jumps over a rope, which is rotated by assistants. The winner is the one who has at least some water left in his glass by the end of the sports session..

Rain, rain, drip-drip-drip!

Another water competition, but here almost everyone will have to get wet: the presenter sprays water around him, and team members collect it in the glasses provided. Whoever has the most water in his glass wins.

Ladies don't have a chance

Participants in the competition are given newspapers or advertising brochures. Each participant can take the most comfortable place for him, sitting or standing - at his choice. Participants are given the task: roll up the trouser leg on their right leg, while reading the given text loudly and with expression. Ideally, it would be good to read loud enough to shout over everyone else. But the funny thing is that in this case you won’t get a prize. But if the exposed calf is the hairiest, victory is yours! It's a pity, You can only do it once in one company: such a burst of laughter awaits everyone at the end.

Cossack robbers

This name even hides not a competition, but a whole adventure that requires preliminary preparation. A treasure is prepared, which can be anything: from a bag of candy to a box of beer, cards are drawn, clues are hidden, and the whole cheerful company looks for the treasure with laughter and jokes.

To introduce a competitive spirit, you can either split into two companies, where the winner will be the one who completes their mission faster, or arrange it so that one part of the team will hide the treasure, and the other will look for it.

Pyramid

To hold this competition, you need many, many apples or oranges - enough to form a neat pyramid of two of them. From the erected structures, at a distance of 15-20 meters (as space allows), both teams line up. Each participant runs to his own pyramid, grabs, no, carefully takes the fruit and runs to his own, where he needs to build exactly the same figure. The goal of the competition is to complete your task faster. If desired, you can tighten the conditions, making the destruction of the old pyramid unacceptable.

Striptease competition

The name reflects the fact that participants will have to undress during the competition, so it is better to warn everyone in advance to wear swimsuits under their clothes, so as not to put anyone in an awkward position. All participants are divided into two teams, after which they begin to undress, laying out their clothes in a line. The team whose track is longer will win. The piquancy of the situation can be added if the participants in one group are men, and in the other – women. In addition to reaction speed, intelligence is also trained, because sometimes clothes can have a complex shape, and the success of the team depends on how exactly you arrange it.

Poke the ball

This competition can be held indoors, but in the open air everything is much more intense and fun. To carry it out you need buttons, balloons according to the number of participants and an adhesive plaster. Each of the revelers receives an inflated balloon tied to the back of their waist and a pushpin glued to their forehead. Hands are tied behind your back, and the fun begins - you have to save your ball and burst the balls of your opponents.

You can play for yourself or as a team. The winner is the one who remains “alive” last.

Water-Land

This game is simple, but you can have a lot of fun while playing it. A line is drawn, the players line up along it, and the leader begins to call out: water now or dry land. When you hear the word “water,” you need to jump back from the line, when you hear the word “land,” you need to jump forward. Everything would be too simple, but instead of “water” the presenter can say “river”, “sea” or “lake”, and instead of the word “land” - “island”, “mountain” or “mainland”.

Fill your cart

If a corporate event takes place in the forest or on the edge of the forest, one of the competitions may well be a competition to see who can collect a full basket or bucket of cones the fastest. Then, with their help, you can light a fire, and make the competition a team competition for more laughter. However, you should not neglect safety measures and pre-treat your clothes with an anti-tick product..

Running in sacks

This competition requires very little - a couple of garbage or propylene bags, as well as a decent supply of enthusiasm and fun. You can choose a slightly rough track for jumping, having previously made a supply of plaster and brilliant green.

Glass of vodka

To hold this competition you will need several real strong men. The presenter's command sounds, and all participants drink what is poured into their glasses. All the glasses (except one) contain water, and only this one contains vodka.

Men should not show emotions and not show what was poured into their glass.

The guest who correctly guesses which participant gets vodka wins.. The rest of the participants can get their glass of vodka after the competition.

Roll, roll away!

The required attribute for this competition is a pair of car tires. The participants' task is to roll up their tire as far as possible with one push.. If you race cross-country, the results will be unpredictable and it will be a lot more fun.

Grandmother Hedgehog Races

For two teams - two brooms. A distance is selected, a turn sign is placed, after which each team member must “fly” to it on a broom and return back. The same broom is used as a relay baton.

Hunting with a harpoon

A stick with a nail is used as an improvised harpoon, or rather, two for each team. The fish can be foam or paper, they are laid out “in the sea” - in a clearing, and fishing begins. The players' task is to catch as many fish as possible.

Accuracy

Here, not only the most accurate player wins, but also the one with the best vestibular apparatus. The goal is marked, a stick is placed in front of it and a ball is placed. The player must not only score the ball, but do it after turning around the stick five times. The number of attempts is limited, and the one with the most successful throws wins.

Motorcycle racing

If you take children to a corporate event, then it is quite possible to arrange races on their tricycles. The spectacle of adult men and women spinning miniature pedals is extremely comical, and if it is done at speed, then it is doubly funny. The final part of the corporate event can be another event, which can be framed as a competition - this collecting packages of bottles and other rubbish. This kills several birds with one stone: a spectacular end is put at the end of the evening, the environment is in order, and next time it will be much more pleasant to come to a clean clearing. And another small portion of fun competitions held outdoors for corporate events awaits you in the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31UUjbT8ny8
