Any event held at home must include competitions for a small company. They will help you have a fun and unforgettable time, as well as get to know each other better. But it is better to select them in advance to take into account the composition of the company and the preferences of each person. Fortunately, the choice of games and competitions for a small company is quite large, so this will not be a problem.
At the very beginning of the event, you can hold an interesting competition that does not require special props. To do this, you need to prepare several pieces of paper on which answers to the most important question about why a person attended this holiday will be written. They can be very different:
All these pieces of paper are placed in a small bag. Each guest has to take out one of them and loudly voice what is written. Although there are no winners here, this game can definitely lift your spirits.
New Year competitions for a small company, made like this one, will definitely please the participants. Thanks to them, you can cheer everyone up at the very beginning, so that further games take place in a good environment.
Interesting competitions for a small company were invented several decades ago, because just having a conversation is not always interesting, but you want to have some fun. One fun option is a game called Picasso. You need to play it in a not completely sober state, without leaving the table. To play the game, you need to prepare several identical images with unfinished details in advance.
The task for the guests is that they need to finish the drawings the way they want. It would seem that it couldn’t be simpler, but there is a small catch in this game - you need to fill in the missing details with the hand with which the person works the least (for right-handers - the left, for left-handers - the right). The winner in this case is determined by popular vote.
Competitions for a small company at home should help people get to know each other better. One of them is “Journalist,” for which you will need to first prepare a box of paper with various questions written on it.
The participants' task is simple - they pass the box around in a circle, each guest takes out one question and gives the most truthful answer to it. The most important thing is not to write too frank questions, so that the participant does not feel uncomfortable. You can ask about a funny incident in life, a New Year's wish, having a pet, an unsuccessful vacation, and so on.
After all the guests have answered, you will have to choose a winner. This is done by voting. Each player will have to point out the story that he liked the most (with the exception of his own). Thus, whoever has the most votes wins.
Fun competitions for a small adult company are practically no different from children's games. A rather interesting and exciting option for entertainment is “Card Flight”. For it you will need to take regular playing cards and some kind of container for papers (basket, hat, box).
Players need to move a couple of meters away from the tank and draw a line there - this will be the start. Each participant is given exactly 5 cards, the names of which are written down by the presenter. Then people stand behind the drawn line and, without crossing it, try to throw all their cards into the box/hat/basket.
First, you need to conduct a practice round so that the participants test their strength. If a player does not maintain balance and takes a step beyond the line, his throw will not be counted. The winner is the person who was able to throw the most cards. If there are several winners (score the same number of points), then another round is held between them.
The best competitions for a small company include a game designed for only two players. For it you need to stock up on the following props:
You need to attach a glass to one end of the stick with tape and fill it with water. Then two participants stand opposite each other, take the opposite end of the sticks and put their hands behind their backs. One opponent asks the second a question, to which he answers and takes three steps forward, and then the same number back, trying not to spill water. In total, each participant must ask three questions. After this, the game ends and the winner is determined by the amount of water remaining in the glass.
Fun competitions for a small group include games of dexterity and tests of patience. For this entertainment you will need to take 6 tennis balls and jam jars. Only two players take part in it.
The competition is held as follows:
In this case, there can be only one ball in one jar. At first glance, everything seems extremely simple, but do not forget that such balls are quite bouncy, so it is unlikely that you will be able to throw them without a certain concentration and attention. The winner, of course, is the one who can send the most balls into the containers.
New Year's competitions for a small company are especially interesting, because the beginning of the year should be remembered for a long time. In a game called “Collect an Article,” you need to find a funny article from the Internet, print it in several copies (depending on the number of players) and prepare the same number of regular envelopes.
The presenter will have to cut each sheet into several strips (line by line) and fold them into envelopes. They are then distributed to the players, who must collect the text as quickly as possible. The winner is the one who puts the strips in the correct order the fastest.
The list of competitions for a small company should include a great game that every person knows about. For her, all the players sit in a circle and take turns saying “I”. If someone laughs, the presenter comes up with an additional word for him, which the person will have to pronounce after his “I”. Those participants who can no longer remember or pronounce their phrase without laughing will gradually drop out of the game. Whoever stays is the one who wins.
Everyone, without exception, likes competitions for a small group at a table, because in order to entertain yourself, you don’t need to leave the table at all. At any holiday you can hold a “Blind Lunch”. For this game you will need to bring blindfolds for all participants.
Players sit down at a regular holiday table with various dishes, but without cutlery (the only thing that can be placed in the center of the table is skewers). The presenter blindfolds them all and gives the command “start”. After it, participants will need to feed themselves and their neighbor by any means. The winner is the player who remains cleaner than the rest.
The two-player competition is great for both adults and children. For the race you will need to take a couple of pipettes, the same number of feathers and tissue paper circles with a diameter of 2-2.5 cm. The last props need to be rolled into cones.
Each participant is given a pen and pipette. The task is to propel your pen a certain distance using only the air coming from the pipette. At the same time, it is forbidden to wave your arms and blow in order to achieve the goal faster. Of course, the fastest participant wins.
Another game for a couple of participants helps test coordination and endurance. For it you need to stock up on chalk and a couple of ropes. Using this prop, you need to draw and fix circles, the diameter of which should accommodate the player’s two feet. Both participants stand on their right foot, keep their balance, and with their left they try to push their opponent beyond the boundaries of his circle. The loser is the person who touches the ground with his left foot or goes beyond his boundaries.
This competition can be held in any company. For this, each participant will need to be given one sheet of paper and a pen or pencil. After this, the players will need to line up in one line and, in a standing position, write the phrase that the presenter asked them. The one who completes the task faster and more beautifully wins.
The list ends with a game that is recommended for children over 12 years old. It can be played both at home and on a picnic or in some other place. The most important thing is that more than two people take part in it. Required equipment: blindfolds, rope.
You need to sit one person on a chair and tie his hands and feet. The second participant will act as a security guard who sits next to him blindfolded. The rest of the people are at a distance of a couple of meters from them. At a certain point, they must quietly approach the tied participant and release him. At the same time, the guard must determine by ear who is approaching and prevent release. The person who manages to untie his “friend” takes the place of the blindfolded player in the next game, and the one whom the guard touched is eliminated.
And the player whose awkwardness led to the destruction of the tower is considered the loser.
The one who turns out to be the most savvy at the end of the game receives some kind of prize. There are some wow words!
The game is considered successful if the leader’s word has nothing to do with the last association. You can play without even leaving the table.
The leader's goal is to catch the player with the cucumber. The caught participant himself becomes the leader.
Then both players - the one who guessed the word and the one who guessed it - report their versions of this word. If they are the same, the game continues. To do this, the presenter sounds out the next letter from his word “party”. Now players will have to come up with words using the first two letters - B and E.
Just imagine a fairy tale written in the style of a police report or medical history. The author of the funniest fairy tale wins.
Like, hi!
What associations do you have when you hear the word “game”? Do you think that all this tops are intended exclusively for kindergarteners, and you yourself have long since left this age?

Playing is cool! Playing is fashionable! Playing is fun!
Stop drinking, gather your friends and play with us!
A new school, a new class, a new group at the institute, any unfamiliar company... Needless to say, it’s not easy. There are no topics for conversation, there are no common memories, we haven’t really had time to get to know each other. You don’t know what to do with yourself, you yawn desperately and think about how to get away as quickly as possible? Take your time. What if your future best friend or soulmate is present in this very company that seems alien to you? Take a closer look – that wall character over there looks quite interesting. But how can we get to know each other better? Walking around pestering everyone with questions is, of course, not an option. The game will help! No complicated devices, no impossible actions - and you yourself won’t notice how the tension has gone and everything around you is almost your own. Now that you know so much about each other, it’s simply impossible to miss something or someone interesting!
The game can be played in any company and in any condition - the quality will not suffer in any way. The only condition is to play once in the same lineup. This can only be repeated if a newcomer joins the company.
The more people gather, the more interesting the game. To begin with, two leaders and one “victim” are selected. One presenter explains the rules of the game to the “victim”, and the other explains to everyone else. The “victim” will have to guess the supposedly hidden person from the rest of the company of players by asking questions that can only be answered “yes” or “no.” The point is that, in fact, no one makes a riddle for anyone, and the players answering in turn are guided by the “signs” of their neighbor on the right. The confusion of the “victim”, who sometimes receives quite contradictory answers to his questions, is guaranteed to lift the mood. The ultimate task of the “victim” is to understand the pattern of the game.
You can add some variety to the game by changing the patterns. For example, responding players will describe the person sitting opposite, or two or three people across.
This game is also suitable only for “one-time use” with one group of participants. The larger the company, the more interesting the game will be.
The host (a person who knows the rules) must find out if anyone else is familiar with the game, and take these people as allies. The players sit in a circle, take turns calling the name of the person sitting opposite and saying “Cross” or “Parallel”, according to the principle of whether the counterpart’s legs are crossed or uncrossed. The task of those who do not know the rule is to understand the principle and correctly say what – “Cross” or “Parallel” – can be said about the participant opposite. Since poses can change during the process and few players look at their feet, it is usually not easy to guess.
It's a kind of trap game, so it's fun to play once with the same lineup.
To conduct the game, a leader and two participants (preferably of opposite sexes) are required. The rest of the players at this time are in another room, from where they are called by the leader in turn. The first player is asked to create a “statue of love” from two participants. Usually this is done quite recklessly, and the most elaborate poses are chosen. After the “statue” is ready, the presenter invites the “sculptor” to take the place of one of the participants. The next player is asked to “fix the statue.” It’s good to film the action – a good mood is guaranteed.
It's more of a prank than a game, but this event is sure to lift the spirits of your group. To play the game you will need: a “pharaoh” - one of the male guests, a girl - the victim of the prank, and a “guide” - a person who knows the script. “Pharaoh” lies down on the sofa and pretends to be a mummy. A glass with some cold and viscous liquid is placed at his head (from experience, sour cream is best). At this time, the girl in the next room is blindfolded and announced that she is now a blind girl who has come on an excursion to the tomb of the pharaoh. The guide’s task is to use all his imagination and attract artistry in order to create for the girl the “effect of presence” in the tomb. He must describe their route, help her imagine the ancient stones, feel the centuries-old dust that covers the tomb. At the same time, spectators can help him with various sounds, simulating falling stones, creaking and rustling, as much as their imagination allows. And so the guide brings the girl to the pharaoh. Describe it as colorfully as possible, and then study it thoroughly: “Now we are already near the mummy of the pharaoh. This is his leg, this is his thigh...” At this time, the girl runs her hand along the pharaoh’s leg, rising higher and higher. At the words “and this is his eye,” the conductor puts the girl’s hand in a glass of sour cream. If the guide is sufficiently convincing, the effect is indescribable.
This is also a kind of prank game, guaranteed to lift your spirits. To conduct it you need a young man, a girl and two presenters. The young man and the girl go to different rooms, each with their own leader. They explain to the young man that he will have to go into the room, take a chair and pretend to screw in a light bulb. At the same time, his partner will interfere with him in every possible way. Task: explain to her that he is doing a necessary and useful thing and soon everything will be bright and good. You can't talk while doing this. In the next room, the girl is explained that her partner will portray a man who decided to hang himself. Her task is to use facial expressions and gestures to dissuade him from this decisive step. Next, both participants enter the common room, where grateful spectators who know the essence of the draw are already waiting for them.
A simple and fun game.
Any even number of people can play, it is advisable to maintain an equal ratio of boys and girls, but if it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t matter.
You need to prepare your inventory in advance - two decks of cards. One deck will contain cards with questions, the other with answers.
One player from the pair takes a card with a question and reads it out loud, the second player with the answer. The player who answered then asks the next neighbor a question.
The combinations usually turn out to be the most unimaginable, a good mood is guaranteed.

A fun, dynamic way to remember the names of new acquaintances. A game for a company of 8-10 people. You will need a sofa that can seat half of the players, and chairs. The chairs are placed in a semicircle opposite the sofa. The names of the participants are written on pieces of paper; if there are duplicate names in the company, write surnames or nicknames. Half of the players sit on the sofa, half on chairs. One chair remains free. The papers are mixed and distributed to the participants. The first player to move is the one to the left of whom there is an empty space. He calls one name, and the one who has a piece of paper with this name in his hands moves to an empty seat and exchanges pieces of paper with the player who called him. Then the procedure is repeated. The task of the team sitting on the chairs is to move to the sofa, evicting their opponents from there.
This game is perfect for a company whose members want to get to know each other better. There should be at least 8-10 people playing, the more, the more interesting. The number of guys should match the number of girls.
The rules are very simple: young people leave the room, and at this time the girls choose their boyfriends in such a way that they are all distributed among the girls. Then the girls sit in a row, the first young man enters the room and tries to guess which girl chose him. This is done only with the help of your own intuition; you cannot ask anything. The girl who chose this young man should try not to give herself away and not react to inquisitive glances. When a guy makes a choice, he must come up and kiss the girl who, in his opinion, made her choice in his favor. If the young man guessed right, the girl kisses the young man and remains sitting in a row, while the guy remains in the room. If the young man makes a mistake (which is most likely to happen), the girl slaps him in the face and he leaves the room. If a young man chooses a girl who has already been guessed, the young man who remained in the room must kick him out the door. The one who finds his girlfriend last loses.
This game is a great way to understand some of the personal qualities of your new acquaintances. The presenter calls a couple of players (it is better if the couple is mixed, a young man - a girl) and invites them to role-play the situation. The situations can be very diverse, it all depends on your imagination. For example: “You are on a desert island”, “A drunk emo girl comes up to you on the street and insistently asks you to go somewhere”, “A friend is inviting you to a “men’s party”, and you already have a date with a girl”, etc. The best one wins artistic and original couple. Who knows, maybe they will want to continue their acquaintance?
Many people love to sing, but it’s not interesting to just sing. Let's Play! Participants are divided into two teams. One team sings one verse from a song, the other must sing a verse from a song whose meaning will contradict the first. To begin with, you can set the themes of the songs in advance or offer to sing songs in which words with opposite meanings will be found. For example: black - white, day - night, water - earth, guy - girl, etc.
It’s not always appropriate to ask direct questions, but you want to know about each other. Let's Play! The rules are very simple. Participants are asked to line up according to some characteristic. For example, by date of birth. This means that at the beginning of the line there should be people born in January, followed by people born in February, and so on. There is only one difficulty - you can’t talk while doing this. You need to convey your position to your playing partners with gestures, facial expressions and using various available means. The signs by which the line is lined up can be anything: hair and eye color, weight, age, sociability, activity, etc. The game will help you get to know each other better, loosen up and unite.
This game is good because it lasts throughout the holiday, and the more participants, the more interesting it is. The rules are very simple: before the start of the event, a piece of paper is attached to each participant’s back. During the feast, dancing and other entertainment, the participants come up to each other and write on these sheets their opinions about their “carriers”. Towards the end of the party, the sheets are removed and the messages on them are read out loud.
Finding a kindred spirit in an unfamiliar company is always good and interesting. Let's make this task easier. The number of participants in this game is from 8 people. All players are divided into pairs, and within the allotted amount of time, the members of the pair must find the maximum number of common characteristics in each other. These signs can be anything: external characteristics, place of work or study, family composition, presence or absence of pets, etc. Then the pairs form fours for the same purpose. The merger occurs until the creation of two teams. The team that manages to find the maximum number of common features wins.
Another way to get to know each other better. The host asks each participant in the game: “Truth or dare?” The one who chose “truth” must answer any question asked by any player (it is advisable, of course, to answer honestly). The one who chooses “action” must somehow amuse the other players - dance, sing, tell a joke, etc.
This game is a great way to learn more about each other. Participants take turns saying a phrase that begins with the words “I have never...”. For example: “I have never seen a crocodile.” Those players for whom this statement is not true, that is, they saw a crocodile, bend one finger on their hand. The task of the player proposing the statement is to “knock out” as many participants as possible. The person with the least life experience wins, that is, the one who bends all his fingers first. The most versatile loses.
The game is good for companies whose members are meeting each other for the first time. The rules are simple: each player is given a piece of paper on their back before the party starts. After a brief acquaintance, the participants of the holiday write on these sheets their first impression of its bearer. You should write briefly and, if possible, witty. Shortly before the end of the party, guests are invited to write down their last impression of the person on the same sheets. It will be interesting to compare, and you will learn a lot of new and unexpected things about yourself.
One of the players is removed from the room. At this time, the other participants in the game leave an autograph, a drawing, a lipstick mark, a fingerprint on sheets of paper - in general, some kind of trace. Then the main player returns. Now he is a “historian” who has to guess who left what imprint. This game really makes us take a closer look at each other.
The game helps you tune in to each other, even if you don't know each other. And if one person hears another, it will be much easier for them to become acquaintances!
All players sit in a circle and place their right hands on the left knee of the neighbor on the right, and their left hands on the right knee of the neighbor on the left. After this, one of the players (the leader) beats some simple rhythm with his right hand on his neighbor’s knee. The neighbor’s task is to pass the rhythm on. Everything seems simple, but try it - almost never the first time the rhythm is returned to the leader in its original form. The task can be complicated by running two rhythms simultaneously, to the right and to the left.
This is a pretty funny game that can help you start communication in an unfamiliar company. All you need to do it is a few balls of wool or thread. Participants are divided into pairs (preferably mixed: a young man - a girl), the balls are unwound, and the ends of one ball are given to the members of the pair. After this, the threads of different balls must be carefully tangled. The winner will be the couple who is the first to release their thread and, having wound it into a ball, come to each other.
A very exciting hobby
The presenter asks three guys (men) who have interesting hobbies or activities to take part in the competition. He warns the players that they should not name their hobbies until the end of the competition, as the rest of the guests must try to guess them using questions. Participants are asked to leave the room for a while (ostensibly so that the rest of those present can come up with questions), and the presenter explains to the audience that this is a practical joke and all three players have the same hobby - kissing (for a more relaxed group - sex). Players come back and answer questions based on their hobby.
Question options:
Participants answer questions and at first do not understand why the audience is laughing. After all, as a rule, men mean fishing, hunting, driving a car, wood carving, etc.! And only after they answer all the questions prepared by the guests, the players are informed that it was a joke and they were all asked questions, assuming that their hobby was kissing (or sex). Try it, it's a lot of fun!
Answer without words
Number of players: any.
The presenter sits in the center and begins to ask questions to the players, turning first to one and then to the other. For example:
The players’ task is to respond without words, only with gestures, signs and facial expressions. Anyone who cannot resist saying a word pays a forfeit or is eliminated from the game. During the “answer” of one of the participants, everyone else can guess what exactly he is depicting. The presenter should not delay with questions and (most importantly!) ask questions that can be answered simply “yes” or “no”.
Favorite establishment, or Everything secret becomes clear
A fun prank game. Several volunteers are invited. They are seated with their backs to everyone, and signs with pre-prepared inscriptions are attached to their backs. The inscriptions can be very different: “Brothelage”, “Bowling”, “Detoxification center”, “Bathhouse”, “Car showroom”, “Women’s clinic”, “Library”, “Nightclub”, “Toilet”, “Beauty salon”, “Policlinic”, “Police”, “Lingerie store”, “Atelier”, “Maternity hospital”, “Museum”, “Library”, “Sex shop”, “Sauna”, etc. Those present ask the players, one by one, various questions: “Why do you go there, how often, what attracts you to this place, etc.” Players must answer these questions without knowing what is written on the sign. You need to answer quickly, without hesitation. Originality and sense of humor are encouraged.
Question options:
The discrepancy between the answers and the inscriptions on the signs causes a lot of laughter. Simple and fun entertainment that will bring pleasure to both participants and others present!
Where am I?
(a reversal of the previous game)
The player is seated with his back to everyone, and a sign with a pre-prepared inscription is attached to his back. The inscriptions can be very different: “Brothelage”, “Bowling”, “Detoxification center”, “Bathhouse”, “Car showroom”, “Women’s clinic”, “Library”, “Nightclub”, “Toilet”, “Beauty salon”, “Policlinic”, “Police”, “Lingerie store”, “Atelier”, “Maternity hospital”, “Museum”, “Library”, “Sex shop”, “Sauna”, etc. Within a certain time, the player must guess where he “is.” To do this, he asks those present various questions: “Is this a paid establishment? Is this place open at night? Do I go there with friends? etc.” Condition: questions must be such that they can only be answered “yes”, “no” or “doesn’t matter”.
A spicy situation, or women's revelations
The participants are seated with their backs to everyone, and pre-prepared signs are attached to their backs (or to the backs of chairs), on which various piquant situations are written. The inscriptions can be the following: “Broken heel”, “Black eye”, “Torn tights”, “Messy hairstyle”, “No underwear”, “Hangover”, etc. Participants must, without knowing what is written on the sign, answer questions from those present. You need to answer quickly, without hesitation. Originality and sense of humor are encouraged.
Question options:
Comic fortune telling from a book
Any book is suitable for this entertainment - to your taste (fairy tale, romance novel, etc.). The “fortuneteller” picks up a book and turns to it with a question that interests him, for example: “Dear book... (names the author and the title of the book), please answer what awaits me next month?” Then he guesses any page and any line, for example: page 72, line 5 from the bottom (or page 14, line 10 from the top). Next, the player finds the required line in the book at the specified coordinates, reads it out - this is the answer to his question.
Damaged photocopier
This is a modification of the famous “broken phone” game. Players are divided into teams (preferably at least 4 people in each) and stand one after another. Players standing in front are given blank pieces of paper and pencils (pens). Then the presenter approaches the last players in the ranks one by one and shows them a simple picture prepared in advance. The goal of each player is to draw on the back of the person in front what is shown in the picture. The next player tries to understand what was drawn for him, and then tries to depict the same picture on the back of the next one. This goes on until the first player in the line, who draws the final version on a piece of paper. The team whose drawing ends up being most similar to the original wins.
When a good company gathers around the table, the party promises to be fun!
But the guests drank and ate... talked about the latest news from the lives of their loved ones and the country as a whole... 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:
Today I will introduce you to those that can be carried out without leaving the table.
NOTE! They can be performed in different versions, change the rules, add items, increase or decrease the number of participants - in a word, take a creative approach to drawing up a program of fun and amusing table competitions for an adult company sitting at the table.
Let's start with the simple - what's at hand (literally and figuratively!)
The presenter names any letter of the alphabet, except for the four Y-Y-L-Ъ (you can also agree to exclude the letter E).
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.
Starting with the first letter of the alphabet, the players come up with a mini-congratulation (depending on the occasion of those gathered) or simply sentences that are appropriate for this holiday.
The phrase should begin first with the letter A, the next one with B, then C, and so on. It is advisable to come up with funny phrases like:
- How great it is that we have gathered today!
- It happened that...
- Here it is...
- 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!
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 poetically describe its purpose, appearance...
The writer of the longest and most original piece wins.
Everyone loves fairy tales!
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 my grandmother had a piece of ham worth two and a half kilos...” We advise the program creator to come up with starting phrases in advance for the different professions of the participants.
Everyone has fun! The winning team receives a prize: sweets, a bottle of champagne for everyone...
Try this too! It is not teams who play, but individual participants. Then more time is given for preparation, and it will be easier for the guests to select the winner.
Here, the more people, 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.
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 items from men's or women's wardrobes, underwear, or for the most daring, from the assortment of adult stores.
And here’s another game where the funniest thing is the mismatch.
Props:
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 it is compared with the “source”.
The winner is the couple whose “transcript” is the most correct.
Option! One “speaker” is selected, and everyone is recorded.
We play like this:
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.
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:
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.
Let's prepare:
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):

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.
Option for carrying out - everyone writes down their statements on pieces of paper, noting the false ones, give them to the host (host of the party), and he reads them out in turn.
Several competitions for a drinking group that wants to become even more drunk.
This game can be played during other games, as an additional game. 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.
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.
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.
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).
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:
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.
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 receives only one point (no matter how many five thousand dollar bills the team members have, the team can only receive one point for the item with the bill).
So, do you have...?
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 your friends remember this day not only for the most delicious dishes, but also for the funniest and coolest competitions.
Eat! Drink! And don't be bored!
