The game requires four players. They stand in a row with their backs, and a pre-prepared poster with one of the following entries is hung on each back: - a sobering-up station - a public bath - a restroom - public transport.

The participants themselves do not know what is written on the posters that hang on their backs. Then the facilitator asks questions, turning to each participant in turn. The questions should be:

How often do you go there?
- When you go there, who do you take with you?
- What are you doing there?
- What do you feel when you go there?

Do you want to come there at least once more?

The inscriptions on the "signs", of course, can be changed. Let's say you can make signs:
- Nudist beach,
- Shop "Intimacy"
- Pedicure

Contest 3. BOXING MATCH

Before the start of the competition, the host calls two real men who are ready for anything for the sake of the lady of the heart. The ladies of the heart are there to exert a beneficial psychological influence on their knights. Cavaliers wear boxing gloves, the rest of the guests form a symbolic boxing ring. The leader's task is to escalate the situation as much as possible, suggest which muscles are best to stretch, even ask to have short fights with an imaginary opponent, in general, everything is like in a real ring. After the physical and moral preparation is completed, the knights go to the center of the ring and greet each other. The host, who is also a judge, recalls the rules, such as: do not hit below the waist, do not leave bruises, fight to first blood, etc. After that, the presenter hands the fighters the same candy, preferably caramel (they are more difficult to unfold, especially when they are stuck together), and asks for his lady of the heart to unroll this candy as soon as possible without removing boxing gloves. Then they are given a can of beer, you need to open it and drink it yourself. The one who completes the task before the opponent wins.

PROPERS - 2 pairs of boxing gloves, caramel candies, 2 cans of beer

Competition 4. DANCE FLOOR STAR

A super-moving competition that will go well before musical pause for warming up. Here, a lot depends on the host, you need, of course, to make fun and joke about the contestants and invigorate them. The competition was held at more than one hundred corporate parties, and it always met with laughter and fun!

Well, now for you there will be a competition called "Star of the New Year's dance floor." This competition will require the participation of the 5 most active employees of the company. Your task is simply to dance very, very, very actively, because the most inactive dancer is eliminated. Go! (plays rock and roll) (After 20-30 seconds, the presenter chooses the most inactive one and, to applause, asks him to leave the dance floor).

Now there are only four of you left. Imagine that you have been dancing for an hour and are so tired that your legs have been paralyzed, but real stars do not give up so easily! So, your task is to dance no less actively, but without the help of your legs. (plays “hands up - well, where are the handles”). (After 20-30 seconds, the presenter chooses the most inactive one and, to applause, asks him to leave the dance floor).

There are only three of you left, and you are quite tired, it's time to sit down. Now dance actively while sitting, you can move only with your head and hands. (Caste - Blatnoy's Number). After 20-30 seconds, the host chooses the most inactive one and, to the applause, asks him to leave the dance floor.

And we still have two real super-stars of the dance floor! There is one last push left. And, of course, at the end of such a dance battle, the whole body becomes numb, but the stars are never lost, because the face is still alive! Your task is to dance with facial expressions without moving anything! Let's go! (rock and roll).

After 30 seconds of “writhing”, the host chooses a New Year's star of the dance floor with the help of applause from the audience!

Competition 5. A PIECE OF BREAD

THIS IS NOT EVEN A COMPETITION, BUT JUST AN INTERESTING TEST FOR CORPORATE PARTY GUESTS. IT IS POSSIBLE TO CARRY IT OUT IN ANY break, but you can argue with someone for 1000 rubles)))

The essence of the competition is that the host offers to bet with someone that he will not be able to eat a piece of bread (standard half) in 1 minute without drinking. It seems very a simple task and from that it will captivate the participants to try their hand. But in reality, it is almost impossible to do so. Doubt? Try it for yourself at lunch.

Competition 6. ICE, BABY, ICE!

A VERY INTERESTING TEST THAT IS FUNNY TO DO. True, a little trouble with the props is required.

The host calls three daredevils to participate in the competition and says that the task is "easier than simple" - you need to put on a T-shirt, that's all. After the participants are found. The host brings out three T-shirts that are well rolled and frozen in the freezer. The task of the participant is to put on a T-shirt as quickly as possible.

Contest 7. KISS OUT

ALSO A PRETTY SIMPLE NON-REQUISITION COMPETITION THAT ALWAYS GOES GREAT IN A FRIENDLY COMPANY and may well be a great end to your party.

The host calls 8 participants - 4 males and 4 beautiful. We put people in order - m-m-m-f. Then they are told that they need to pass a kiss on the cheek, everyone in order kisses the next one on the cheek. At any moment, the music stops and on whom the stop is eliminated. The presenter must discreetly command the DJ when it is necessary to stop the music. At first, you can make it so that girls and guys drop out alternately, but by the end you need to adjust so that three or two guys remain. It becomes very funny when only men remain in the competition.

Well, that's all, dear organizer of noise and fun! We hope you enjoy our contests. In this blog we will post a lot of them, so do not forget to subscribe, and we will do everything to ensure that you celebrate the most fun New Year in your life.

A really funny script for the New Year's corporate party is here www.smartyparty.ru!

Understand what is drawn

Number of players: any. Optional: pre-prepared task cards, pens, paper. The essence of the game is to depict the inherited word (or group of words) with a picture, and the quality of the picture does not matter, the main thing here is to try to convey the meaning of your “creation” as quickly as possible.

The players are divided into two teams. The facilitator invites representatives from each team in turn. They pull out cards with tasks at random and, at the signal of the presenter, draw what they got without saying a word. The team tries to guess what the "artist" represents. It is forbidden to write words and numbers, you can only draw. The team that guessed the most words wins.

You can prepare sets of tasks on various topics:

• household items (mirror, TV, coffee pot, painting…)
• food (pizza, banana, ice cream, cutlet…)
• fairy tale characters (Thumbelina, Kikimora, Fairy, Nightingale the Robber…)
• sports (boxing, figure skating, hockey, basketball…)
• professions (accountant, janitor, fireman, teacher…)

More complex options -

depict emotions and feelings with the help of drawings:

• delight
• sadness
• astonishment
• anger
• pride etc.

depict abstract concepts with the help of drawings:

• victory
• wealth
• education
• poetry, etc.

use pictures to draw a short note addressed to a friend:

• Call me tomorrow at 6 o'clock
• Let's go play football tonight
• Give me a kitten for my birthday
• I'm sick, I won't go to the cinema, etc.

depict the proverb (saying) with the help of pictures:

• Work is not a wolf, it will not run into the forest
• They are greeted by clothes, but escorted by mind, etc.

As you can see, there are a lot of options for drawing tasks. Try it and you will definitely enjoy this creative game!

Guess who I'm talking about

Number of players: even. Optional: notepads, pens (pencils), box (hat).

This is a simple and rather exciting competition for associative thinking and ingenuity, you can spend it at the festive table. The host distributes small pieces of paper and pens to all guests. They need to write on these pieces of paper the names of various famous personalities, characters from fairy tales, cartoons, etc. - 10-20 words each. Nobody peeks at each other. The leaves are folded and placed in a box (hat or something else) and mixed. Then the players are divided into pairs and participate in turn.

The presenter marks 1 minute with a stopwatch, the player of the first pair pulls out one piece of paper from the box and explains to his partner the identity that he got. The more in 1 minute a person can explain the hidden characters, and his partner can guess them, the better for their couple.

You can explain as you like, in any words, the most important thing is not to say out loud the name of the character himself; if you accidentally let it out - the point is not counted. If the player cannot find the right wording or his partner cannot guess, then they have the right to get the next task.

What to do if the same name comes across (and it will be for sure)? Discuss in advance what to do in this case: whether it is possible to repeat the description or not.

At the end, the results are summed up and the pair of players who have the largest number of guessed characters is awarded.

Example. Let's say the player got the following characters: Pushkin, Alla Pugacheva, Piglet, Koschey the Immortal. How can you quickly explain to the team? For example, like this: he wrote the novel "Eugene Onegin" (Pushkin); the prima donna of the Russian stage (Alla Pugacheva), the friend of Winnie the Pooh (Piglet), the bony hero of fairy tales (Koschey the Immortal).

Try it, this game of quick wit is very gambling, usually everyone likes it very much.

Secret thoughts

In advance, you need to prepare cards with clippings from newspapers and magazines glued to them. Phrases can be: "Why eat up at night?", Or "It's time to look for a rich sponsor." The smarter they are, the better. During the game, the host with the words “What does Elena think about Olga?”, “And what will Olga say in retaliation?”, “What is Natalya embarrassed to say to Tatyana?” invites the girls to pull out a card at random and read out what is written there.

Remember and retell

This is a more complex version of the famous game "broken phone".

The game involves one host and 5-8 players (the more, the merrier), the rest of the guests are spectators. The players go out the door. The host calls the first of them and expressively, not too quickly, reads to him in the presence of the audience a short story prepared in advance, consisting of 10-13 sentences. The task of the first player is to try to remember this text and retell it to the next player, who was previously outside the door. The second player, in turn, retells to the third what he managed to remember. And so on. As a result, the last participant retells the audience the final interpretation. Usually (unless, of course, this is a collection of geeks), the story changes a lot towards the end, so it turns out to be a lot of fun!

Barter

The host (hostess) of the party distributes to all guests opaque bags or envelopes, where small items (beads, coins, small buttons, beans, etc.) are placed in advance, 15-20 pieces each. Next, the game begins. Its essence: each participant walks around the room and invites opponents to guess the number of objects in his fist, asking the question: “Even or odd?”. If the opponent guesses correctly, he takes the items in the player's hand. Otherwise, he gives away the same number of items from his envelope. If the player has no items left, he is out of the game. The game lasts 10-15 minutes, then the counting begins. The luckiest "merchant" wins - the player who has the largest number of items.

Exactly the same

A couple is invited to participate in the game (players of a couple are conditionally divided into "1" and "2"). Player “2” is led out of the door by the host’s assistant and blindfolded. At this time, player "1" comes up with some kind of unusual pose (you can stand, sit on a chair, and even lie down). When it is ready, it freezes in this position. Enter player "2". His task is, blindfolded, to determine by touch the pose taken by player “1” and copy it, i.e. portray yourself. When he is ready, his eyes are opened. Everyone is comparing results. The game can be played as a competition between couples - who will do the task better.

Groupings

One of the participants in the game leaves the room, at this time all the rest are divided into 3-4 groups according to some criteria, for example, by age, eye color, clothing details, etc. The task of the returned player is to guess the sign that unites the groups.

Detective in search of hidden words

The game begins with the choice of a "detective", then he is asked to leave the room for a while. At this time, the rest of the players think of a well-known proverb, saying or line from some famous poem (line from a song). Let's say the proverb "The truth pricks the eyes" is conceived. This text needs to be divided into three parts: “truth”, “eyes”, “pricks, pricks”. The "detective" returns, and he is told that the proverb is "hidden" (guessed) and that, starting the search, he can ask any three questions to any three participants in the game.

The "detective" must guess that the text of the proverb is divided into three parts and that the first person to whom he turns with a question must insert the beginning of the hidden text into the response phrase, the second - the continuation, the third - the last part. Questions and answers can be anything, humor and originality are welcome!

Possible questions and answers:"How many months in a year?" - "Say by the truth I did not count"; "What's your favorite hobby?" "I like to look eyes movie stars"; "What do elephants eat?" - “What elephants eat, I don’t know, but the squirrel knows how prick nuts."

And the home party was a success, it is necessary to draw up a cultural program with contests and games.

Bingo

This fun is suitable for a "motley" company where people have gathered different ages. You will need a lotto set: cards, kegs and chips to cover the numbers on the cards. The game consists of three rounds. In each of them, the participants are given a card. Before each round, a prize is announced for the winner. The host pulls the kegs out of the bag and calls out the numbers. In the first round, the one who closed one row of numbers on the card wins, in the second - the one who closed two rows, and in the third, the one who closed the entire card. Between rounds, you can arrange small intermediate competitions, a “musical” or “dance” break.

Guess the melody

This game can be played in two versions, depending on how well your guests understand music.

Easy level: participants are divided into two teams and listen to 10 songs in turn. The musical passage should sound no longer than 15-20 seconds. If one team cannot guess the melody, the right to answer is transferred to the opponents. For each correct answer, the team receives one point. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Do not complicate the task by choosing little-known tunes, because the goal of the game is not to test your musical memory, but to have fun.

Difficult level: participants are divided into two or more teams. One of the team members approaches the host and receives a card with the name of the song. He must mumble, whistle, knock, etc. on this melody. to your teammates. If they cannot guess the melody, the right to answer goes to the opponents. One point is given for each correct answer. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Fanta

Each participant puts in a hat, pan or opaque bag a fant - some small object(fountain pen, keychain, lipstick). One of the players turns his back, and the leader, without looking, takes out one object from the hat, each time asking: “What should this phantom do?” The player standing with his back comes up with tasks: sing a song, jump on one leg, crow. The nature of the tasks depends on the company. After that, each "phantom" performs the received task.

Nonsense

The participants are divided into two teams. From each of them, one person approaches the leader. He gives them cards each with the word written on them. The words must be different. The player must, without resorting to words, "explain" to his team the hidden word. You can only use facial expressions and gestures. If a team guesses the word, it gets one point. The first team to score ten points wins. First, it is desirable to guess simple words(names of animals, natural phenomena, vehicles, professions), and then move on to more complex concepts (fidelity, love, rest, atom), names of cities and countries.

Pygmalion

Men and women are divided into two teams. Each of them receives air balloons different colors and shapes, colored paper, marker, scissors and tape. The women's team must create a "statue" of the ideal man, and the men's team - the ideal woman.

If the company has an unequal number of women and men, you can randomly split into two teams and, using the same equipment, create any “sculpture”: a snowman, a “beloved” boss, a statue of love.

"Drunken Checkers"

You will need a chessboard and twenty glasses. If there is no real chessboard, it can be drawn in advance on a piece of drawing paper. Ten glasses are filled with red wine, and another ten with white. Drinks can be chosen at will: make a more “strong” version with vodka and cognac, or vice versa, an option for non-drinkers with tomato juice and mineral water. The rules are the same as in ordinary checkers, however, before removing the won back “piece” of the opponent from the board, you need to drink a glass.

Eiffel Tower

For this game you will need a set of dominoes. Task: build a tower of "dominoes". Two knuckles are placed vertically, the top one is placed horizontally, and so on. Participants place one bone at a time in turn. The one through whose fault the tower collapses must pay a predetermined "fine": crow, drink a glass of champagne.

nose to nose

This competition is carried out sitting at the table. You will need a matchbox lid. The first participant puts it on his nose and passes it to his neighbor without the help of hands. He, also without helping with his hands, takes the cap on his nose and passes it to the next participant. The game is played in a chain. The one who drops the box is out, and the game continues further in a circle until one participant remains or until they get bored.

dance floor

A newspaper is spread on the floor - a “dance floor”, to which a couple who wish to participate in this entertainment are invited. Partners should dance to incendiary music without stepping over the edges of the newspaper. After 30 seconds the music is stopped, the newspaper is folded in half and the dance continues. After another 30 seconds, the newspaper is folded in half again, and so on. Usually the competition ends with the partner holding his lady in his arms, trying to dance on one leg.

Moonwalkers

This competition is suitable for a very liberated company. All participants get on all fours and begin to crawl one after another in a circle, repeating: “What an awesome moonwalker I am.” The phrase must be pronounced very seriously and thoughtfully. Whoever laughs is out of the game. The most convinced "lunokhodik" wins.

Dress up the lady

Men and women are divided into pairs. Each woman holds a ribbon rolled into a ball in her hand. The man takes the end of the ribbon with his lips and, without the help of his hands, wraps his lady with it. The winner is the one who completes the task faster or whose outfit is “more elegant”. For a more relaxed company, ribbons can be replaced with toilet paper.

Profitable investment

Men and women are divided into pairs. Each pair is given an equal amount of "money". These can be real banknotes of small denominations or just candy wrappers. The host invites women to open as many deposits as possible within a minute. Banks can serve as pockets, collars, lapels and other secluded places on the partner's clothes. On a signal, the women hide the "bills" in the clothes of their partners. A minute later, the host stops the game and invites the ladies to change places and find all the hidden money within a minute.

"Killer Cocktail"

This competition is carried out sitting at the table. The guests in a circle pass each other a glass. Everyone pours some drink into it. The one whose glass overflows and the drink overflows must say a toast and drink the resulting “cocktail”.

Brook

A wallpaper path or a narrow long rug is spread on the floor - a “brook”. Women are offered to walk along the "brook", spreading their legs wide so as not to wet their shoes. After all the ladies have “walked” along the stream, they are offered to repeat the attempt in turn, but already with their eyes tightly blindfolded. One participant remains in the room, and the other ladies leave the room so as not to see how their “rival friend” completes the task. The participant, blindfolded, walks through the "brook", with the permission of the presenter, removes the bandage and sees that a man is lying face up on the wallpaper track. Of course, the man lies down on the "brook" after the woman has completed the task, but has not yet had time to remove the blindfold. The lady, of course, is embarrassed. The next participant is invited into the room. When everything repeats, the first contestant is already laughing along with everyone.

push up

Only men participate in this competition. They are blindfolded and offered to push themselves off the floor as many times as possible. After the participants have completed a few push-ups, the host says that the floor is not clean enough, and so that the men do not get dirty, he suggests laying down paper. The bandages from the eyes of the participants are not removed. Pieces of wallpaper or sheets of drawing paper are spread on the floor with full-length silhouettes of naked women painted on them. Men continue to perform the task already above these silhouettes. After a while, the facilitator removes the bandages and asks the participants to continue push-ups. Fans keep score, encourage participants, give them tips.
