Paper competitions for the company. Competition for adults “Portrait painter”. An incendiary game “Let's dance!?”
When adults gather, it is mistakenly believed that they have nothing to do except talk and feast. This is wrong! There are many fun games, which will allow you to spend interesting and unusual time in company, laugh and relax. All games are designed for a company of 6 people or more. They can be played on a college camping trip, at a party or at someone's birthday.
Many games for a group do not require special training and props
Conversation games
- Understand me. The company is divided into male-female pairs. You can come up with a theme yourself, for example, “Maternity hospital”. The point of the game: the “husband” asks questions about the child out loud, and the “wife” tries to answer them with gestures. The main thing is to ask unusual questions and see what gestures the “wife” will respond with.
- Associations. The company sits in a circle. Someone starts: whispering any word into his neighbor’s ear. He, without hesitation, speaks into the ear of the next participant his association for this word. The next one is his own association, and so on until the word-association returns to the one who started the game. I wonder what the original word will be transformed into!
- Who am I? All participants wear a paper ribbon on their forehead with the name of the movie star written on it. All participants see what is written on the foreheads of others, but do not know what is written on theirs. You need to take turns asking others questions that will help you understand what is written on your forehead. For example: “Am I a man?”, “Did I act with Tom Cruise?”, “Did I win an Oscar?” You can write the names of the animals - then the questions will be appropriate: “Do I live at the North Pole?”, “Am I a herbivore?” They play until the last pair. The loser buys everyone beer or ice cream.
- Crocodile. Someone from the company says the name of a popular film in the ear of another participant, and he shows it with gestures to the whole company. The company's task is to guess this name. If the name consists of several words, then you can write down the guessed words so as not to forget. Of course, if you wish, you can wish for any words, not just movies.
- “In my pants.” Any headlines are cut out from the press (magazines, newspapers). Their meaning is unimportant. They are then folded into a large envelope. Each participant takes out one headline and reads it aloud after the phrase “It’s in my pants...”. It sounds very funny - especially if it turns out something like “In my pants... there was a competition for the largest cucumber grown.”
Games with props
Target
All participants are given blank sheets papers and pens (pencils). On the sheet you need to draw a large circle, inside of which there are 4 more circles, to make a target of five circles. You need to put a point in the middle and draw lines crosswise through it, so that the result is 4 sectors.
Participants must write: in the first circle from the center - the letters P, P, S, L, one in each sector. In the second circle - numbers from 1 to 4 in any order, in the third - one name each (animal, bird, fish, insect). The fourth contains 4 adjectives (funny: fat, drunk, stupid, lying around, etc.). In the fifth - 4 any proverbs or sayings.
Games with props are not suitable for travel, but are ideal for parties.
Now we collect all the targets and read (with attribution). The letters in the center of the circle mean: P - work, P - bed, S - family, L - love. The numbers mean where each participant ranks in work, family, bed and love. Animal and adjective - who the participant is in a given area of life. For example: Sasha is a “greedy jackal” at work, a “fat arctic fox” in bed, and so on.
Proverbs are a person’s motto in work, family, bed and love. It may turn out, for example, that “In Sasha’s bed the motto is “Without a greeting there is no answer,” and in the family the motto is “No matter how much you feed the wolf, he looks into the forest.” If playing with targets is not enough and you want to laugh more, try one of the following games!
- Get an apple. The team is divided into male-female pairs. A couple is selected to participate in the competition. A rope is stretched at a level of 2 m from the floor. On it, at the level of an adult’s mouth, it is suspended by its tail. Big apple. The chosen pair must eat it without using their hands. Whichever pair ate the entire apple was the winner.
- Transfusions. Two people from the company play. Take two bottles (one of them is empty). You need to draw water with a straw (you can use juice, mineral water or beer) from one bottle and pour into another. Whoever does it faster is the winner. True, there is a chance that someone will drink it all and accept their defeat.
- Floating apple. Here two from the company participate in the competition. Apples are thrown into a large bowl of water. The participants' hands are folded behind their backs. You need to grab the apple with your teeth and remove it from the water. Whoever does this first wins.
- Mummy. Participants are divided into two teams. One of the players on each team is a “mummy”. The essence of the game: the team must wrap their “mummy” as quickly as possible. Regular toilet paper is used as bandages. Second part of the game: unwind the mummy by winding the paper back into a roll. Fun guaranteed!
If you don't have a twister, you can choose any other outdoor game!
Active games
- Swamp. Cool old game. The company is divided into teams, but two people can participate. The players receive two cards each (you can take regular sheets of paper). Task: these cardboard boxes are “bumps”, and you should move along them from one to another in order to cross the “swamp” (room, corridor) as quickly as possible. “Drowned in the Swamp” fulfills the collective’s wish.
- Ball battle. Participants are divided into two teams of equal size. Each participant ties an inflated balloon to his leg with a thread. You can buy balls of the same color for each team. The longer the thread, the better. The balls must be on the floor. On command, you need to destroy your opponents' balls by stepping on them with your feet, and at the same time not allow them to step on your own ball. The owner of the burst ball leaves the game. The winner is the team whose ball will be the last one to survive on the “battlefield”.
- Oh you horses, my horses! The competition requires two pairs of participants and a room where there are no breakable objects. Each pair is divided into a “horse” and a “rider”. The “rider” sits on the shoulders of the “horse” (usually a thin girl on the shoulders of a muscular guy). A piece of paper with a written word is attached to the “rider’s” back. The other “rider” must read what is written on the opponent’s back and, at the same time, prevent him from reading what is written on his back.
- Siamese twins. The company is divided into two teams. Two people from each team participate. They are placed sideways to each other. Left leg one participant is tied to the right leg of the other, and their torsos are tied with belts. The result is “Siamese twins”. All actions should be performed at speed. "Siamese twins" work with two different hands (one right, one left), without talking to each other. They must complete various tasks given by the opposing team: sharpen a pencil, tie shoelaces or open a bottle, pour it and drink.

How nice it is to be in the company of people charged with energy, fun and a thirst for creativity. And how great it is when every meeting becomes a joyful and unique event. Board games are a simple and reliable way make the party fiery and fun. Prepare a few games and lots of fun is guaranteed. So what games do we recommend for a party?
Word games
There will be no losers! This statement rightfully applies to everyone word games. Of course, points are counted in these games, but the main pleasure, of course, is participating in the process. Your meeting will be remembered for a long time and with taste, and the game itself will be divided into quotes. Thanks to simple rules and almost any number of participants word games– an excellent choice for both board game aces and beginners.
Concept - for a company of any size! Make hundreds of concepts, characters, catchphrases using universal pictograms (in other words, icons, so similar to computer ones). What are the words for?! A fresh idea for everyone who wants to have a fun and friendly time!
Number of players: from 4 to 12 people.
Taboo. A lot of word guessing games go great if a large group is going to have a lot of fun. Board game A taboo significantly complicates the task of the person guessing - when explaining, you cannot pronounce the taboo words indicated on the card, as well as words with the same root. Now the real fun begins!
Wild Jungle Safari. The colorful abstract patterns of the classic Jungle have been replaced by images of a cute panda, a ferocious tiger, a thoughtful monkey and other cute animals. Totems in the game Wild jungle Not just one safari, but FIVE at once. It will be fun!
Games on the move
If your company cannot sit at the table, then these are perfect for you active games.
Psychological role-playing games
A great way to have fun at a party or with a large family circle psychological role-playing games with a detective plot.
Sultan for a moment. If I were a sultan... or a vizier, or a guard, or a slave. The essence of the game is the confrontation between two teams: Supporters and Rebels. The Team of Supporters supports the Sultan and, in addition to himself, includes all of his Guards. On the side of the Rebels are the most oppressed citizens - the Slaves and the Murderers who have joined them. Other inhabitants of the palace - the Overseer, the Dancer, the Vizier and the Fortune Teller, depending on the situation, can join one or another opposing side, significantly influencing the outcome of the game.
Good luck with your choice and have a fun holiday!
It doesn’t matter for what occasion you invite guests - for a regular birthday or a significant anniversary - the birthday person should be prepared. Holiday menu and the musical arrangement is, of course, important. But it’s not enough for the mood: I want everyone to have fun. Analyze the composition of your guests: acquaintances, strangers, gender, age, status. Although all adults remain children at heart, and a holiday is precisely the occasion when you can be a child for at least one evening, having experienced a storm positive emotions. Competitions are a universal option even for a low-active company.
Kiss - bite
The host asks each of the guests to name one feature that he likes in his neighbor and what he doesn’t like. After all the answers, the host asks you to kiss the place you liked and bite the part that irritates you.
Hold the coin
Cover the glass with the drink with a thick napkin (it should not sag) and place a coin in the center. We pass the glass in a circle and with a lit cigarette or candle, everyone tries to lightly burn the napkin so that it does not burn. Whoever lights it up and the coin falls into the glass drinks its contents. The “prize” in the form of a coin also goes to him.
Give me the shoe!
One of the guests reaches under the table and takes off someone's shoes. The owner of the shoes must remain unperturbed. Then they put on the shoes and move on to another guest. Whoever reveals himself during the process of putting on shoes, or is somehow identified, crawls under the table and becomes the leader.
Kiss Mishka!
They take it out teddy bear and let him go around in a circle. Everyone should kiss him anywhere they want. Then the presenter offers to kiss only his neighbor there.
Read minds
One of those sitting at the table is covered with an opaque cloth over his head. The rest make a wish for something from his things and write it down on paper. The player under the cape must guess which of his things is intended. If he guesses correctly, the game continues; if not, he must take off his clothes.
Answer me, my dear
From the props, prepare a piece of paper and a pen. The first participant writes for the neighbor any question beginning with the word why or how. Then he folds the piece of paper so that the question cannot be read and tells the neighbor only the word - the question (why, where, how...). He writes the answer at his own discretion, hides it by folding the piece of paper, and composes a question for another neighbor. When the paper is returned to the first player, the answers are read out. We get some very interesting coincidences.
Another option: the leader writes a phrase, showing the neighbor only the last word in a sentence. Then from this word he begins to compose his own phrase and also shows his neighbor only his last word. They voice the story when the piece of paper returns to the presenter. This is how, in fact, rumors are born. 
Glass and straw
All guests are provided with cocktail straws. They need to be held in your teeth. The first participant places a plastic cup on a straw and hands-free passes it to a neighbor, who removes the glass only with the straw. A tougher option is with a ring and a toothpick. But this is after the third toast.
I am a poet
Competitions for adults can also be creative. We put notes in a hat with excerpts of poems, for example: “I am a chocolate bunny,” “And I am unmarried, someone really needs it,” “It’s great that we are all here.” Each player takes a note from the hat and comes up with a rhyming continuation with humor and a holiday theme.
Speaker
The participant is stuffed in the mouth (with a bun or other food) and given a piece of paper with text, which he must read expressively. The other participant must write down the story in detail. Then its description is compared with the original. Choose interesting material for the speaker.
For those who are thirsty
In the center of the table (or clearing in nature) are all the glasses (glasses) with a drink. Some must be deliberately spoiled (salt, pepper - the main thing is compatible with life and health). All guests have balls (for example, for badminton). They throw them into glasses without leaving their seats. Whichever glass the ball lands in, you take it and drink it.
Milked a cow?
A medical glove is tied to a stick and water is poured into it. Props are given to participants. They need to “milk the cow.” It looks very impressive. The winner will milk the “cow” the fastest.
Let's get acquainted
For the competition you need a roll toilet paper. The host invites the guests to tear off a few pieces for themselves, and motivates them so that they stock up on paper thoroughly. Then he invites everyone to tell him as many interesting facts about himself as there are pieces of paper in his hands. Make sure that participants do not try to get rid of supplies in other ways and control the schedule of speakers. 
Who is bigger?
We divide the guests into teams. Each person chooses a letter for themselves, and receives a task for that letter. For example, remember dishes starting with the letter K (another team - with its own letter). They call each other in turn. Who lexicon runs out faster, he loses.
Associations
A game similar to a broken phone. The presenter says a word in the ear of the first participant, for example, birthday, he whispers his version to the neighbor, causing him associations with the birthday, for example, drinking, then a hangover, a headache, etc. Then all the options are announced.
Thick-cheeked lip slap
A simple and very comical competition. Everyone fills their mouth with candy canes and with their mouths full says: “fat-cheeked lip slap.” The winner is the one who pronounces this (or other) phrase with the maximum amount of candy in his mouth.
Fanta
There are many variations of this game, here is another one: “Forfeits on a schedule.” Each guest receives a number that corresponds to a task, for example: forfeit No. 1 makes a toast like an entertainer, introducing everyone to those around him and announcing the reason for which everyone has gathered; phantom No. 2 makes a toast to the birthday boy with the feeling of a person who has been hopelessly and for a long time in love with him (possibly with poetry); fan No. 3 makes a toast in the Caucasian style: long, with appropriate gestures and accent; fan No. 4 makes a toast with the air of a completely drunk guest; forfeit No. 5 must sing a toast, etc. When the host announces toasts at the table throughout the evening, they are not known to the guests. Whether these will be preparations from the beginning of the holiday or complete improvisations is up to you to decide.
Bon appetit
Pair competition. Participants are blindfolded and given an apple (or ice cream). They must feed each other until everyone has eaten everything. Or they won't bite your fingers.
Clothespins
Another doubles game. The presenter blindfolds the players and hangs ten clothespins on each of them. For a certain time, they, blindfolded, remove all the clothespins from their partner, the rest of the guests watch and count. 
Who's the fastest?
In front of the teams on the table are identical containers with drinks on the same level. At the signal, everyone begins to drink with spoons what you offered them. The team that licks its bowl first wins.
For the savvy
An object is laid out on the table and everyone takes turns voicing their version of its use. It may not be traditional, but it is logical (it doesn’t matter whether you cover a window with paper, stuff wet boots, or make origami). Those who run out of ideas leave the game until the most resourceful one is determined.
Gifts for the birthday boy
Each guest cuts out from paper a symbol of a gift for the birthday boy: a car, an apartment key, etc. Then the “gifts” are hung on a string, and the birthday boy, blindfolded, cuts off three objects. What he found will appear with him in the near future. Then he guesses whose gift it is. If he names correctly, the owner of the forfeit fulfills the wish of the birthday boy.
Be vigilant
An attention game for tipsy guests. The host turns to any guest at the table with a question, and his neighbor on the right must answer. The one who did not get his bearings in time and gave the wrong answer ends the game. The game can be complicated by thoughtful questions, asking instead of the banal “what is your name,” for example, “two nails fell into the water, what is the Georgian’s last name?” (Rusted)"
The most sober
The first participant takes a button on his index finger and gives it to his neighbor. He must take it with the same finger. You cannot help with other fingers. Whoever fails is eliminated from the game. Guests need to reach across the table until the two most dexterous and sober winners remain in the game. 
I can feel it in my backside!
Participants rise from their chairs without turning around and place several potatoes, sweets or other hard objects on the seats. They cover it with newspaper or cloth and the guests sit down in their chairs, trying to guess how many items are on the seat. Whoever guessed correctly, the “prince (princess) and the pea” will receive a prize for the best intuition.
Brown and polar bear
Fierce competition for already very fun company. The glass is filled with beer. This - " Brown bear" It must be turned into “white.” The participant, who knows his norm, drinks half of the glass. Vodka is immediately added there. Another half is drunk. Vodka is added again until the participant turns into " polar bear” and does not drink a clean glass of vodka. You can continue the reverse transformation from a polar bear to a brown one, but do not forget about the likelihood of alcohol intoxication.
Who washes the dishes
The final stage. Two teams of participants. At a signal, everyone takes off their clothes and ties them to the clothes of their neighbor, who - to the next one, until everyone has tied the rope. At the signal from the leader, the ropes are passed on for control. Whoever got the shortest answer goes to the kitchen.

When a small company gathers, it becomes possible for absolutely everyone present to take part in games and competitions. The only thing left to do is to develop and think through a program consisting of fun competitions for a small company. The memories of all participants in the event depend on how fun and unforgettable the holiday will be. In addition, fun competitions create a relaxed atmosphere, help to get acquainted with those who are not yet acquainted and to liberate those party participants who feel constrained and squeezed.
For competitions to please all participants, they must be diverse: active, intellectual, humorous. The one who turns out to be awkward and slow in an active competition will show his ingenuity perfectly in intellectual competition and vice versa.
Competition "Crocodile". The competition can be held among pairs or among two teams. A couple of participants are called, the presenter speaks into the ear of participant No. 1 a word, a phrase, the title of a book or a film. The topic of the competition can be determined in advance. Then, in a certain amount of time (30 seconds), participant No. 1, without saying a word, with the help of facial expressions, gestures and movements, must show participant No. 2 what the presenter told him. After which participant No. 1 and participant No. 2 change places. The team with the most guessed words wins.
Competition "I'm a Celebrity". Riddled famous person. One of the company participants has a sticker on his forehead with the name of a celebrity written on it, but the participant himself has no idea who the name is for him. Next, by asking questions to the other participants in the competition, he must guess which celebrity's name is written on his forehead.
Competition "The Strongest Knot". This competition can be held both among couples and among individual participants. The couple/participant is given a rope and the conditions of the competition are announced: tie as many knots as possible in 1 minute. After a minute, the insidious presenter changes the rules and the winner is the one who can untie the knots he tied himself the fastest.
Competition "Children's Photo". Participants are asked to prepare their children's photos in advance, from which a common poster is made; each photo is assigned a serial number. Next, each participant must anonymously guess and write who among those present is depicted in a specific photograph. The winner is the one who guessed the maximum number of people present in the photo.
Competition "Buttons". To participate in the competition, pairs consisting of participants of the opposite sex will be required. One of the participants is put on a men's shirt, the second is given winter gloves and the task: fasten the buttons on the shirt as quickly as possible. The one who buttons up wins large quantity buttons for a certain time.
Competition "Pass the ball to someone else." All those present are divided into 2 teams, they line up in two lines opposite each other. It will be more fun if the participants in each team alternate by gender. The first participant from each team is given a ball, which he can press against his chin. After the “start” command, the ball must be passed to the next participant without using hands. To avoid the ball falling, participants can touch each other in any way they want, but only without hands. The team that gets the ball to the last person in the line the fastest will win.
In addition to the above competitions, there are Interesting games, which can be played in a small company, for example, “Mafia”, “Alias”, “Colonizers”. Let the holiday be fun and memorable!
