Funny and cool birthday contests for a fun company. Funny birthday contests: the best contests for children and adults Simple funny birthday contests

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

But the guests drank and ate... talked last news from the lives of our loved ones and the country as a whole... we danced... and some prepared to be bored... But that was not the case!

Good hosts always have something in stock that will not only relieve boredom, but will also bring the guests of the holiday closer together, and will also be remembered by everyone for a long time with fun and humor - these are, of course, various competitions.

They are very different:

• movable (with and without objects),
• musical,
• drawing,
• verbal, etc.

Today I will introduce you to those that can be carried out without leaving the table.

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

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

"The alphabet is near us"

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

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

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

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

Here's another game with letters.

"Burim in order"

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

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

- How great it is that we have gathered today!
- It happened that...
- That's …
- Gentlemen...

Attention! What is important here is the sequence of letters in the alphabet and the meaning of the invented sentences. It is clear that some letters (ь-ъ-ы) are skipped.

The winner is the one who came up with the funniest phrase. Decided by unanimous vote.

There was the ABC - it was up to the poetry!

“Tell me what’s in the package!”

If there are people at the table who can write poetry (the level of poetry, of course, will be taken into account, but the main thing here is different), then offer the next competition.

Several poetry masters are given an object, which is packed in an opaque fabric box-bag. They should quietly look at what they got and write a poem about the item. Guests listen and guess.

Important! You cannot name what is hidden, you can only describe its purpose in poetry, appearance…

The writer of the longest and most original piece wins.

Everyone loves fairy tales!

"Modern fairy tale"

Equipment: sheets of paper, pens.

The players are divided into two teams. Usually they are divided according to the “we sit next to each other” principle. Each chooses (option: the driver assigns) a profession. For example, cooks and truck drivers.

After 5-7 minutes of preparation, the teams must voice any fairy tale they have chosen (option - assigned by the driver) to modern style 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.

Everyone’s favorite since childhood, “Broken Phone”

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.

Robot YES-NO

The host prepares cards with the names of the animals in advance and announces that the guests will guess them by asking any questions that he can answer only with the words YES-NO (in extreme cases, “I can’t say”).

The game continues until the animal is guessed and the presenter shows a card with the correct answer.

Questions can be about hair (short or long), about legs, about whether there is a tail (fluffy or smooth), about claws, a neck, about what it eats, where it sleeps, and so on.

Game option! It is not the animal that is being riddled, but the object. Then the questions will be about size, color, appearance, purpose, presence in the house or on the street, ability to pick it up, presence of numbers, presence of electricity in it...

Another version of the game is frivolous. You can wish for items from men's or women's wardrobes, underwear, or for the most daring, from the assortment of adult stores.

Competitions with paper

And here’s another game where the funniest thing is the mismatch.

Chipmunk Speaker

Props:

• nuts (or orange, or bread),
• paper,
• pen.

Those sitting at the table are divided into pairs: “speaker” and “stenographer”.

The “speaker” puts nuts (slices of orange, a piece of bread) behind his cheeks so that it is difficult to speak. He is given a text (poetry or prose), which he needs to pronounce as clearly as possible (as far as the contents of the “cheek pouches” allow). The “stenographer” is trying to write down, as he understands, what he heard. Then they compare it with the “source”.

The winner is the couple whose “transcript” is the most correct.

Option! One “speaker” is selected, and everyone is recorded.

"Explain in 30 seconds"

• pens/pencils according to the number of players,
• small pieces of paper
• box/bag/hat.

We play like this:

1. Guests are divided into pairs. It can be by lot, it can be at will, it can be next door at the table. Each pair is a team.
2. Players receive pens/pencils and pieces of paper (each has several of them - 15-20).
3. Everyone writes 15-20 (discuss this in advance with the players) of any nouns that come to mind: on one piece of paper - one noun.
4. Leaves with words are hidden in a box/bag/hat.
5. First, the first pair-team plays: they take turns taking out sheets of words and must explain to each other the word that they came across, but in no case naming the noun itself.

For example, the word “cart” is a horse-drawn carriage, “frying pan” is a pancake maker.

After the first word is guessed, you can take out a piece of paper with another.

You have 30 seconds to do everything. You can agree on a minute - depending on the state of the company)))

The number of words a team guesses is how many points it will receive.

Then the turn passes to the other pair of players.

The time limit makes this competition spectacular, loud, noisy and fun!

The team that guesses the most words wins.

Fun table competitions with answers

Prepare: a box containing pieces of paper with various questions written on it.

Attention! In winter they can be made in the form of snowflakes, in summer in the form of apples, in autumn in the form of colored leaves, in spring they can be flowers.

We play like this:

Everyone takes turns pulling out paper pieces of paper with questions and answering them not only as truthfully as possible, but also funny.

Questions could be:

• What was your favorite toy as a child?
• What was your most memorable vacation?
• Have your New Year's wishes ever come true?
• What's the funniest thing that happened to you in childhood that you remember?
• What's the funniest purchase you've ever made?
• If you have an animal at home, what funny incident can you remember (what did it eat)?
• What did you dream about as a child and did it come true?
• What's the funniest prank you can remember?
• Do you love your housemates and why?

Questions for the story can be very different, taking into account the degree of frankness of the company.

The winner is the one whose story pleases the most guests.

Are you asking? I answer!

Let's prepare:

• cards with questions,
• answer cards,
• 2 boxes.

We play like this.

One box contains questions, the other contains answers.

The players sit down, if possible, alternating: man-woman-man-woman... This will make the answers more interesting!

The first player takes out a card with a question and reads it aloud to his neighbor at the table.

He takes, without looking into the box, the sheet with the answer and also reads it out.

Sometimes the question-answer coincidences are very funny)))

Questions could be like this (assuming that the company is close and everything is on a first-name basis):

Two truths and a lie

This fun competition at the table for an adult company does not require any preparation. Best suited for a company where the participants do not know each other very well.

Each player must say three statements or facts about themselves. Two true, one false. Listeners vote to decide which one is false. If they guess correctly, the player (the liar) wins nothing. If you guess wrong, you receive a small prize.

Variant of this: everyone writes down their statements on pieces of paper, marking the false ones, give them to the presenter (the host of the party), and he reads them out in turn.

One more?

Several competitions for a drinking group that wants to become even more drunk.

Find the crocodile

This game can be played during other games, as an additional one. It essentially lasts the whole evening, but at the very beginning you need to tell the guests its rules.

At some point in the party, the host secretly gives one of the guests (the “hunter”) a clothespin (crocodile) and he must attach it discreetly to the clothes of a “victim” he has arbitrarily chosen (or put it in a lady’s purse or a man’s jacket pocket). Then he gives a sign to the leader that the task is completed.

As soon as the clothespin has found a new owner, the presenter says, “The crocodile has escaped!” Who did he get into? and starts counting out loud from 10 to one. Guests are looking to see if they are the target of a prank.

If, within 10 seconds of the countdown, the “victim” finds a lurking “crocodile hidden in a bag or clinging to his collar,” the “hunter” drinks the penalty glass. If he doesn’t find it, the “victim” must drink.

You can limit the search area (the crocodile only clings to clothing) or give it more time.

Drinking alphabet chain

To conduct the competition you need: glasses with your favorite drinks, memory for names and knowledge of the alphabet.

The game goes in circles. The first player names the celebrity's first and last name. The next person must also name a celebrity whose name begins with the first letter of the previous one.

To make it clearer, look at the example:

The first player makes a wish for Cameron Diaz. The second by Dmitry Kharatyan. Third Hugh Grant. The fourth is by Georgy Vitsin. And so on.

You can name any famous people, politicians, actors, athletes. A player who cannot find the correct name within 5 seconds (approximately) must drink his glass. Then the glass is filled, and the turn passes to the next player.

The longer the game lasts, the more difficult it is to select new names (you cannot repeat yourself), the fun and company are rapidly gaining degrees.

Insert your two cents

The organizer of the competition needs to prepare sheets with phrases that are far from the theme of the feast or birthday. Give each guest a card with a phrase at the very beginning of the party.

Phrases could be:

The task of each participant is to insert “their” phrase into the conversation so that others do not understand that this is a phrase from a piece of paper. After the player has said his phrase, he needs to wait a minute, after which he says “Win!!!” During this time, any other guest who, during the conversation, suspects that a phrase from the sheet was uttered can try to incriminate the player. He must repeat the phrase that he thinks was used. Of course, there is a chance that he will not guess correctly.

If the accuser makes a mistake, he drinks a “penalty glass.” If you guess correctly, then a penalty kick is awarded to the person who was caught using the phrase from the sheet.

Guess the brand

If the company name is included in the slogan, then you can shorten it. For example: Who goes where, and I (to Sberkassa). This slogan is included in the retro section of our list. In a young company, you can at least invite guests to guess whose advertising slogan it might be. You can come up with hints or several possible answers.

For example: Who goes where, and I... (at VDNKh, to Moskvoshway, to get married, to Sberbank).

Find your soul mate

If the company is about half women and men, then you can play this game. Although, it will fit, with some degree of conditionality, in other cases.

To do this, you need to prepare small cards in advance on which to write the names of famous couples. One name per card. For example:

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

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

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

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

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

Do you have..?

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

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

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

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

So, do you have...?

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

The list of things can be supplemented at will.

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

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

Let 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!

You can celebrate your name day in a cafe, in a children's room or at home. When on children's party There is an animator, so you don’t have to think about event plans.

Even an adult’s birthday would not be complete without an entertainment program. Read how to create birthday contests.

For adults

An adult holiday can be planned in different ways. Meet your friends outside in summer time, in winter it is better to have a feast indoors.

You need to organize a birthday party and entertainment program based on the following criteria:

1. Age of the birthday boy.
2. Character and preferences of guests.

For an adult, alcoholic beverages may already be present on the table. Secretive people who do not accept jokes and practical jokes will not understand ironic jokes.

Women's and men's preferences differ: girls like quiet gatherings, guys will make the music louder.

It's hard to get out of a situation if your group of friends is motley. You will have to prepare the event, adapting to each guest. The birthday boy must remember to take care of the comfort of each person.

Read the instructions for successful script construction:

The simplest version of the holiday is a feast. To give your guests something to talk about, hold the event sitting down. Add a twist to a traditional feast.

Several game elements will stir up the company:

1. Congratulations. Let everyone present stand up, everyone will say a few pleasant words to the hero of the occasion, wish him good luck or recite a poem.

   Such an introduction will melt the tense atmosphere, and the holiday will become more fun. You can cast lots in what order those present will say the toast.

2. Competition "Who am I"? Each guest writes to his neighbor on a sticky piece of paper a word characterizing a person, object or feeling.

   The leaf is glued to the forehead, the participants take turns asking questions at the table to find out what word is written on the forehead.

   The one who guesses first wins. The game continues until the last word.

3. Competition "Pregnancy". Large balloons are inflated, which guests hide under their T-shirts.

   The task is to collect matches or other small objects from the floor so that the ball does not burst under clothes. The one who has collected the most items wins.

For noisy companies, you can make an event of 10-15 competitions. Low-active intellectuals prefer quieter games.

Bring a board game like Soobrazhary or Jenga to the holiday so you can eat treats and be in the game at the same time.

Advice! As prizes, print out funny certificates awarding the title “Know-It-All,” “Best Pregnant,” or “Miss Logic.”

For children

It’s easier to write a script for children. But participants of different ages may not want to participate in the general celebration. A professional animator will gather the company into the game.

Celebrate your child’s birthday at home with fun competitions:

Important! Develop a holiday scenario based on the age of the birthday boy and guests.

Children under 3 years old are rarely interested in active relay races, but you can act out a children's fairy tale at a two-year-old party.

During the event, turn off cartoons so that children can communicate and play with each other more. Spend an unforgettable holiday for your child!

We will offer you many options, and when choosing, be sure to take into account the age of the children and choose the most interesting games for everyone present.

Competitions for children 3-6 years old

Mind games

Intellectual competitions at the table are good because they help save parents’ home from the chaos and destruction that naughty preschoolers threaten it with. Of course, children cannot be captivated by such fun for a long time, but for a while they will be “neutralized,” and at the same time, watching their games will help parents learn something new about their child.

The simplest birthday contests for children can be represented by riddles that can be chosen for any age:

"Guess what I see"

The adult verbally describes the object, and the children must understand what is being said and find this object in the room.

An adult or child depicts something or someone, and the rest of the children must understand what or who it is.

"What's missing?"

Several objects need to be laid out on the floor, sofa or chair, which children must look at for a while, after which they must turn away, and the adult removes one of the objects. After this, the children look at the “exposition” again and must remember what disappeared from here.

Action games

These games are good for groups and children can participate in them different ages.

This delicious game is suitable for any age. Children are asked to close their eyes and taste something edible that an adult puts in their open mouths. This is a very funny competition, because it turns out that it is not so easy to determine the taste of a dish without seeing it.

Outdoor games

"Cold-hot"

The game is a variation of the classic hide and seek. An adult hides a toy in the room, and the children’s task is to find it, following the clues from the words “cold” and “hot.”

"Magic Tunnel"

For this game you will need a children's tunnel, but it can easily be replaced by a small table or chair that a child can crawl under. His task is not just to climb into the tunnel, but to come out of there in a new guise, portraying someone: an animal or fairy tale character. Other children must guess who came out of the magic tunnel. The one who guesses correctly goes into the magic tunnel himself.

Ball games

Competitions for 4-year-old children's birthdays include good old-fashioned fun that combines tasks for erudition, intelligence, fun and moving elements. So, in the “edible-inedible” game, the leader sits the children in a row and, in turn, throws a ball to each child, pronouncing a word. If the word means an edible object, then the ball must be caught, and if it is inedible, then it must be pushed back with your hands. In another version, the children stand in a circle, and the leader throws a ball to one of them and asks them to name a color, fruit, vegetable or flower. Children need to simultaneously catch the ball and remember the appropriate object.

Role-playing games

Children love most when competitions for children's birthdays of 6 years old contain role-playing games. In order for a group of children to have a lot of fun, you can invite them to temporarily become brave Indians, overcoming obstacles, fighting hostile tribes and performing funny dances. You can transform into brave knights, beautiful princesses or fire-breathing dragons, into fairy tale or cartoon characters - the choice here is unlimited. Of course, such competitions are done with their own hands, so parents will have to try hard to create costumes and attributes. In addition, they themselves can take part in the fun with the children, letting out their frustrations. a short time hiding in the depths of the child's soul.

Competitions for children 4-12 years old

It is most convenient to think about holding competitions for children's day birth if all children present at the celebration are the same age. However, often, especially at the birthday of preschoolers, not only peers are invited, but also relatives with their children, sisters and brothers - then a variety of children's ages can be represented at the holiday. This happens because the child himself still lacks his own friends and peers, so instead of them, relatives of all ages come who know the birthday boy from a young age and are happy to congratulate him. In this case, the ideas for birthday competitions for children will simply require a little more effort from the parents, but in the end, the children themselves will find ways to begin to interact better, and besides, such contact between them will bring the younger ones invaluable experience of interacting in a team.

"Tails"

This game involves pairs of players, each of whom has a rope tied around their waist so that a small “tail” hangs from behind. The players' task is to be the first to catch their opponent by the tail and prevent him from doing the same. This fun competition can be enjoyed with lively music. The game trains reaction and dexterity.

"Collective Art"

To play this game, children need to be divided into 2 teams. The first members of each team draw a head and neck on the top of their sheets, while the rest of the participants do not see what exactly is drawn. Then the presenter folds the top of the sheet, covering the image, and only the lower part of the neck remains visible. After this, the second player approaches the sheet and continues the drawing. Then the presenter wraps this part of the sheet, leaving only the lower part of the lines of the drawing. So gradually the drawing grows downwards, and all team members put their hands on it in turn. At the end, the presenter unfolds both sheets and everyone looks at the resulting image in surprise. Such competitions for children at their 6th birthday perfectly develop their imagination.

"Art relay race"

This game is educational creative imagination and thinking, ability to work in a team, interesting but calm. Children are divided into two teams, which are given the task of drawing an animal or other object within a certain time. Moreover, in one approach, each participant can draw one line (straight, oval, circle, etc.). In the end, the team whose drawing more closely resembles the intended object wins.

"Candy on a Fishing Rod"

Instead of a fishing hook, you need to tie a candy to the fishing line using a candy wrapper. Using a fishing rod, you need to bring the candy to your mouth, unwrap it without using your hands and eat it. The child who can handle it faster wins. This game develops dexterity and coordination.

"Volleyball with a balloon"

Thanks to this exciting game, children develop dexterity, reaction, and coordination of movements. Children need to be divided into two teams, chairs should be placed at a distance of 1 meter from each other, and all players should be seated on them. A rope stretched between the chairs in the middle of the floor marks a grid separating the teams. Then a kind of volleyball begins, in which you need to throw a ball over a rope, and players are forbidden to take the ball in their hands (they can only push it with their palms) and get up from their chairs. If the ball lands on the floor in the opponent's half, the team gets a point. The game can be continued up to 15 points.

"Nesmeyana"

When thinking about how to hold a child’s birthday party at home, it is useful to select competitions that develop communication skills, ingenuity and imagination in children, like the next “Nesmeyana” competition. One of the children is chosen as Princess Nesmeyana and sits on a chair in front of the rest of the children. The rest of the children must try to make the “princess” laugh, but they must not touch her. The one who succeeds becomes the next Nesmeyanaya.

"Guessing Game"

Before starting the game with the children, a specific theme is selected (holiday, animals, furniture, etc.), after which the driver makes a wish for an object that corresponds to the chosen theme. Players must guess what was chosen using clarifying questions to which the driver can only answer “yes” and “no.” The first one to guess what is planned becomes the driver himself. With the help of this game, children train communication skills and develop thinking.

"Hold the Ball"

Contests at children's birthday parties at home often require a lot of space, but not this one. Two pairs of players take part here. Each pair must be placed in a circle formed by a hoop or a circle drawn on the floor. Each couple is given a balloon. Their task is to try to keep the ball in the air for as long as possible, blowing on it, but without touching it with their hands so that it does not fly out of their circle. The pair that can hold onto their ball the longest wins. With the help of this game, reaction, dexterity, coordination, and breathing apparatus are trained.

"Eskimo blind man's buff"

A driver is selected from among the children, whose hands are put on thick mittens and blindfolded. After this, children approach him one by one, whom he must recognize by touch. If he succeeds, then the identified child becomes the driver, and if he makes a mistake, he tries with the next players. With the help of such a competition, children develop memory and spatial imagination.

"Winkers"

Active and fun competitions for children’s birthdays can train attentiveness, and the best game for this would be the “Blinkers” game. Children need to be divided into two equal teams and a leader must be chosen. Chairs are placed in a row, on which the first team sits, and a chair is placed opposite, near which the leader stands. Members of the second team stand behind the players sitting on chairs. The host looks around at the seated players and winks at one of them. The player who received the wink must quickly move to a chair near the leader, and the task of the player standing behind him is to grab him in time to prevent escape. If the escape is successful, then this player himself becomes the leader.

"Broken phone"

By using have a fun game“Broken Phone” children quietly hone their attentiveness and hearing. The presenter whispers a phrase or word into the first player's ear, after which he turns to his neighbor and conveys to him what he heard in the same way. So, along the chain, the message reaches the last player, who says out loud what he heard, and the presenter loudly says what he himself conveyed. After this, the leader is sent to the end of the chain, and the first player becomes the leader.

"Confusion"

Children love cool competitions, where you can practice thinking, logic and attentiveness. All children need to be lined up in a circle, holding hands. Then the driver turns to the side, and the children begin to climb over each other as they please, but without letting go of their hands. After this, the driver, also without opening his hands, must unravel this tangle.

“We are writing a fairy tale for the birthday boy”

The presenter opens a book or magazine to the first page he comes across and blindly points his finger at a random word. The first storyteller needs to come up with a phrase in which this word will be involved. Similarly, all other participants in the game get words. You can even come up with not one, but several proposals. As a result, a funny story will be born in the game; all that remains is to write it down on beautifully designed paper and give it to the birthday person. Such games develop imagination and thinking, and expand vocabulary.

"Three, thirteen, thirty"

Before the game, the leader explains to the children which number indicates this or that action, for example, 3 - hands on the belt, 13 - hands up, 30 - hands forward. Then the children line up at arm's length, outstretched to the sides. Next, the presenter calls the agreed numbers in random order, and the children must perform the corresponding movements. Gradually the pace of the leader accelerates. The one who got lost and performed another movement stands next to the leader and tries to knock down the rest of the players with incorrect movements. At the end of the game, the most attentive and unprovoked player remains. Such competitions for guests at a child’s birthday train reaction and attentiveness.

"Clap"

Each player receives a serial number and stands in a circle. Then they all begin to clap rhythmically, alternating two handclaps with two kneeclaps. One of the players repeats his own number twice when clapping his hands, and the number of the other player when clapping his knees. The one whose number was announced, with the next claps of his hands, calls out his number, and with claps on the knees, the number of the next player. Anyone who loses this rhythm, forgets his number or calls a number that has already left the game, is eliminated from the game. The last two players remaining in the circle are declared the winners. This fun trains reaction, memory and attentiveness.

"Liberation Action"

The dynamic game “Liberation Action” promotes the development of coordination, attentiveness, hearing, reaction in the leading player, and in the other players - reaction and dexterity. Participants in the game sit on chairs placed in a circle. In the center of the circle, a “prisoner” with his hands and feet tied and a “guard” who is blindfolded are seated. The task of the “liberators” is to untie the captive, and the guard’s task is to prevent them. As soon as he touches one of the liberators, he is eliminated from the game and removed from the circle. Anyone who manages to free the “prisoner” without being caught turns into a “guard” himself.

"Hunting"

Active competitions for a child’s birthday can develop freedom, dexterity, and coordination of movements. In the game "Hunt", the names of the participants in the game are written on cards, which are then shuffled and distributed to the players. The player dances to the music and at the same time quietly looks at what name is written on the card he received. At the moment when the music stops, the hunter must catch the prey whose name is written on his card. But he also hunts for his prey. As a result, real chaos begins! After this, the cards are collected, shuffled again, dealt out and the game continues.

"Waves in a circle"

Make a circle of chairs standing close to each other, the number of which should correspond to the number of players. The driver is in the center of the circle, and the rest of the players sit on chairs. As a result, one chair remains free. The driver tries to sit on an empty chair, but the players must prevent him from doing this with their movements. If the driver manages to sit on an empty chair, then the player who missed him becomes the driver himself. Players move according to the driver’s commands “right” (clockwise one chair), “left”, or chaos (participants quickly change places, and the driver tries to take any empty seat). The player who sat on the chair that was free before the “chaos” command becomes the driver. Children train reaction, dexterity, and attentiveness in the game.

"Siamese twins"

All children need to be divided into two teams, in which there will be several pairs. Couples stand sideways to each other and put one arm around their shoulders. As a result, each "Siamese twin" has one right and one left hand. This creature needs to run to a plate of candy, unwrap the candy and eat it, feeding both heads. The pair that finishes all the candies the fastest wins. A variant of the task for the “Siamese twins” is to make an envelope out of paper and tie the laces on your shoes. This game strengthens teamwork skills.

"The Fisherman and the Goldfish"

The participants of this game line up in a circle, and the leader in the center twirls a jump rope and a rope with a knot at the end. The end of the rope should pass under the players' feet, and they should jump in time to avoid touching it. Anyone who gets hit by the rope is out of the game for a while. The game continues until there is only one participant left, who becomes the winner. It develops agility, coordination, endurance and attentiveness.

"Copy of the monument"

With the help of this game, which develops attentiveness in children, they gradually get rid of shyness. You need to choose two among the children. One will be the “copier” and will be taken out of the room and blindfolded. The second one will be a “monument”; at this moment he should take an interesting pose in which he will freeze. Next, a “blind copyist” is introduced, who must determine by touch the pose of the “monument” and take exactly the same one.

"Broken Fax"

In this game, children are seated one after another so that each next one looks at the back of the head of the previous one. The first and last players each receive a pen and a piece of paper. The last player draws a simple figure on paper, and then reproduces it by running his finger along the back of the player in front. He, in turn, draws with his finger on the back of his predecessor what he felt on his back. The player sitting first transfers his feelings to paper, after which the initial and final drawings are compared. With the help of this game, memory, hand motor skills, and attentiveness are trained.

"Cock-fights"

The floor is divided by a tape or rope, on either side of which two players stand in the starting position - on one leg, facing each other, with their hands clasped behind their backs. Everyone should strive to cross the border to the opponent’s side without touching the floor with their other foot or releasing their hands. At the same time, you still cannot allow the enemy into your territory. You can only push with your chest or shoulder. Anyone who breaks these rules is considered a loser. The game develops strength and coordination.

"Knees"

The players need to be seated close to each other, placing their left hand on the right knee of the neighbor on the left, and the right hand on the left knee of the opposite neighbor. If the circle is not closed, then the end players place one hand on their knee. In the game, you should quickly slap your knee with your hand without breaking a certain sequence. If someone clapped out of time or even just raised his hand, then he hides that hand. There may be several winners or just one. To make the game more interesting, you need to maintain a high pace. It trains reaction, hand motor skills, coordination, and attentiveness.

"Caterpillar"

Players stand one after another and place their hands on the belt of the player in front, forming a “caterpillar”. The first one becomes the head of this caterpillar, and the last one becomes the tail. Then music sounds, and the caterpillar begins to crawl forward, while the head performs various dance steps with any parts of the body, and the rest must try to repeat these movements. Tired, the “head” turns to the next player, strokes his head, and then stands at the tail of the caterpillar. Liberation, coordination, and attentiveness are trained here.

NONSENSE
Two players, secretly from the other players, agree on a topic on which they will communicate through non-verbal means. They start a conversation. Eyewitnesses, having guessed what we're talking about, join the conversation. When everyone is involved in the game, starting with the last person to connect, they begin to find out the subject of communication - how they understood the topic of the conversation and what information they conveyed.

WALKING DOWN THE STREET
All players are assigned numbers. No. 1 begins: “There were 4 crocodiles walking down the street,” No. 4 replies: “Why 4?”, No. 1: “How many?”, No. 4: “And 8.” No. 8 comes into play: “Why 8?” ", No. 4: “And how much?”, No. 8: “A 5!”, etc. if someone makes a mistake or hesitates, he gives a forfeit. Collected forfeits at the end of the game

FOUNDED BANANA
Children sit in a circle. Everyone has something hidden under their shirt. One of the children tries to guess by touch what is there. The game becomes more interesting if the rule applies: do not immediately name the guessed objects, but feel everything that is hidden and only then name who has what is hidden.
are being played out.

BEARD .
Team representatives or their captains are called. The presenter invites them to take turns telling the first line from the joke. If anyone present in the hall can continue the joke, a “beard” is attached to the player. The one with the fewest wins.

GOOD MOOD.
Starting with the neighbor, on the right, we say a compliment along the chain, always with a smile, and those who are especially cheerful can make attractive faces.

GAMES TO IDENTIFY A LEADER.
To do this, the guys are divided into two or three teams of equal numbers. Each team chooses a name for itself. The counselor proposes the conditions: “Now the commands will be carried out after I command “Start!” The team that completes the task faster and more accurately will be considered the winner.” In this way, you will create a spirit of competition, which is very important for the guys.
So, first task. Now each team must say one word in unison. "Let's start!"
In order to complete this task, all team members need to somehow agree. It is these functions that a person striving for leadership takes on.
Second task. Here it is necessary for half the team to quickly stand up without agreeing on anything. "Let's start!"
Third task. Now all the teams are flying in a spaceship to Mars, but in order to fly, we need to organize the crews as quickly as possible. The crew includes: captain, navigator, passengers and "hare". So, who is faster?!
Usually, the leader again takes on the functions of the organizer, but the distribution of roles often occurs in such a way that the leader chooses the role of a “hare”. This can be explained by his desire to transfer the responsibility of commander to the shoulders of someone else.
Task four. We arrived on Mars and we need to somehow stay in a Martian hotel, and it only has a triple room, two double rooms and one single room. You need to decide as quickly as possible who will live in which room. "Let's start!"
After playing this game, you can see the presence and composition of microgroups in your team. Single rooms usually go to either hidden, unidentified leaders or "outcasts".
The proposed number of rooms and rooms in them is compiled for a team consisting of 8 participants. If there are more or fewer participants in the team, then make up the number of rooms and rooms yourself, but with the condition that there are triples, doubles and one single.

CLOWN.
To play this game, you need to divide into 2-3 teams and prepare 2-3 boxes of matches. More precisely, you don’t need the entire box, but only the upper part of it. The inner, retractable part along with the matches can be put aside.
To start the game, all teams line up in a column, the first person puts the box on his nose. The essence of the game is to pass this box from nose to nose to all members of your team as quickly as possible, with your hands behind your back. If someone's box falls, the team starts the procedure again.
Accordingly, the winning team is the one that completes the transmission faster.
There will be no shortage of laughter in this game!

APPLE.
This game again involves the passing of an object by two or more teams. This object will be an apple, and you will need to hold it between your chin and neck. Hands behind your back, so... Let's start!
If you don't have an apple on hand, you can just as easily use an orange or a tennis ball.

SANDAL.
For this game you need to organize at least three teams. Teams line up in columns located on the same line, having previously taken off their shoes. After the teams line up, the counselor collects all the guys’ shoes, dumps them in a pile and mixes them. The counselors are offered instructions: “This is a small, fun relay race. Now, in turn, each of the participants must run up to this pile, put on their shoes and run to their team in their shoes, passing the baton to the next one. Those who know how to quickly put on their shoes win!”

TOUCAN.
Toucan is a fish that fishermen often dry by stringing it on long ropes. Now we, like a toucan, will be “strung” on a long, about 15 m long rope, at one end of which a pine cone is tied. All team members must pass this pinecone through all their clothes from top to bottom, passing the pinecone to each other in turn. Naturally, the winning team is the one whose last member is the first of all teams to pull out a pine cone with fifteen meters of rope tied to it from his trouser leg.

SNOWBALL.
This game is best played at the “getting to know each other”, when the guys sit in a large, close circle. The counselor should start the game by saying his name. The person sitting to his left must say the name of the counselor and his own. The next one further clockwise will have to name the two previous names, his own, and so on in a circle. The counselor must again finish by calling the entire squad by name. The task is difficult, but realistic and doable. Try it - success is guaranteed.

MATHEMATICS.
Children sit in a circle. The counselor gives the task: “Let’s start counting in a circle. The one who has a number that is a multiple of three says his name instead of the number.”
This game can be used to develop memory and attention. Play and you will see that this is really the case.

ROPE.
To play this game, take a rope and tie its ends so that a ring is formed. (The length of the rope depends on the number of children participating in the game.)
The guys stand in a circle and grab the rope, which is inside the circle, with both hands. Assignment: “Now everyone needs to close their eyes and, without opening their eyes, without letting go of the rope, build a triangle.” First, there is a pause and complete inaction of the guys, then one of the participants offers some kind of solution: for example, to pay off and then build a triangle according to serial numbers, and then directs the actions.

KARABAS.
The next similar game will be the game "Karabas". To play the game, children are seated in a circle, a counselor sits with them, and suggests the conditions for the game: “Guys, you all know the fairy tale about Pinocchio and remember the bearded Karabas-Barabas, who had a theater. Now you are all dolls. I will say "The word "KA-RA-BAS" and I will show a certain number of fingers on outstretched arms. And you will have to, without agreeing, get up from your chairs, and as many people as I show fingers. This game develops attention and speed of reaction."
This game test requires the participation of two counselors. The task of one is to conduct the game, the second is to carefully observe the behavior of the guys.
Most often, the more sociable guys who strive for leadership stand up. Those who get up later, at the end of the game, are less decisive. There are also those who first stand up and then sit down. They constitute the "happy" group. A non-initiative group is one that does not stand up at all.
It is recommended to repeat the game 4-5 times.
The practice of this game shows that leaders usually take on these functions.
You can continue the game, complicating the task, and invite the children to build a square, star, hexagon.

LARGE FAMILY PHOTO.
This game is best played during the organizational period to identify the leader, as well as in the middle of the shift, and used as visual material in your team.
It is suggested that the children imagine that they are all a big family and everyone needs to take a photo together for the family album. You must select a "photographer". He should arrange for the whole family to be photographed. The “grandfather” is chosen first from the family; he can also participate in the placement of “family” members. No more instructions are given for children; they must decide for themselves who to be and where to stand. And you stop and watch this entertaining picture. The role of “photographer” and “grandfather” is usually played by guys striving for leadership. But, however, elements of management and other “family members” are not excluded. It will be very interesting for you to observe the distribution of roles, activity and passivity in choosing a location.
This game, played in the middle of a shift, can reveal new leaders and reveal the system of likes and dislikes in groups. After distributing the roles and arranging the “family members,” the “photographer” counts to three. On the count of three! Everyone shouts “cheese” in unison and very loudly and clap their hands at the same time.

RELAY RACE IN A BUS.
Pass a cardboard with a pencil along each row, and each participant must write a word of four to five letters on the cardboard passed along his row. When counting, the number of letters and time are taken into account.

WHAT I SAW.
This game is for attention. In it, the guys must count the number of illogical judgments in the poem that the counselor will read:
I saw the lake on fire
A dog in trousers on a horse,
The house has a hat instead of a roof,
Cats caught by mice.
I saw a duck and a fox
That a plow plows a meadow in the forest,
Like a bear trying on shoes,
And like a fool, he believed everything.
(S.Ya. Marshak)

Or:
Because of the forest, because of the mountains
Grandfather Yegor was driving.
He's on a piebald cart,
On an oak horse
He is belted with a club,
Leaning on the sash,
Wide-leg boots,
The jacket is on bare feet.

Or:
A village was driving past a man,
And from under the dog the gate barks,
The horse grabbed the whip
Whipping a man
Black cow
Leads the girl by the horns.
(K.S. Stanislavsky)

CRYSTAL "PETSKA - VASKA".
The counselor plays the role of the leader, and the guys are divided into two teams: one is “Petka”, the other is “Vaska”. Next, all together to the tune of "Darkie":
In a sunny meadow
There is a green house.
And on the porch of the house
A cheerful gnome is sitting.
Next the counselor shouts: “What is your name, gnome?” and points with his hand at one of the teams, who responds as loudly as possible with a tongue twister.
"Petki":
Fuck! I have a gingham shirt!
I came to you, girls,
To eat candy!
"Vaska":
Wow! I have polka dot pants!
I came from a fairy tale
Because I'm good!
All this is done several times, the counselor points to one or the other team, and at the end of the game - to both teams at once, and one of them must shout out the other.

CHANT "Foreign women".
These chants have a large number of options. Their peculiarity is that they mean absolutely nothing and therefore children like them.
"Risosiki"
It’s very simple: the children repeat after the counselor who sings:
Ooo!
Calabamba la-o!
Osiki-risrsiki-risosiki-risbamba!
Oh, I eat bananas!
"Balami"
After each line sung by the counselor, the children shout: “Hey!”
Bala-bala-mi - hey!
Chicka-chicka-chi - hey!
Chi-hey!
Chi-hey!
Chick-chirp-chick-hey!
Together with the guys, you can come up with your own squad chant, to which you, for example, will gather together.

NAME YOURSELF.
Everyone stands in a circle, holding their arms outstretched in front of them. The person starting the game throws the ball through the center of the circle to one of the participants and says his name. After the throw, he lowers his hands. After the ball has passed everyone and everyone has dropped their hands, the game begins in the second round. Each participant throws the ball to the person he threw to the first time and says his name again.
The third round of this game is slightly modified. Again, everyone stands in a circle with their arms outstretched, but now the participant who threw the ball must say his name, the one who caught the ball does the same, etc.
After playing this game (it takes 10-15 minutes to play), it is quite possible to remember up to 20 names.

The bus interior is divided into two teams. "A competition is announced for best crew ship For this we need to know a lot of songs. Whichever team sings them the most will be the winner! But the main thing is that the song contains words about the sea, sailors, sea ships." This game is very variable and its conditions depend on your imagination. These can be songs about Moscow, there can be songs in which numbers are found: " a million, a million, a million red roses"; "...the girl from apartment 45"; "...one word, two words...."
A more challenging version of this game is the Question and Answer game, where the team takes turns taking a question from one song and an answer from another.
“Why are you standing there, swaying?..”
"...The sea wave is rocking and rocking."
It is possible for one team to ask a question in song form, and the second, again, chooses an answer from the text of a hundred songs.

COMPETITION TRAP.
The competition is held without announcement immediately after the teams exit.
