Game competitions for a fun birthday. A fun competition for an adult company with a cucumber

Comic funny competitions and pranks will help you celebrate your birthday with friends and family. To avoid any hiccups during the holiday, you need to choose in advance interesting ideas for games and stock up on props. It is better to alternate table competitions with active competitions. Games for children and adults will make the celebration fun for everyone. Not only the birthday person, but also every guest should receive maximum attention.

Two men participate in the competition. You can also arrange a tournament. To carry it out, you will need an elastic bandage or a wide elastic band 2 m long. The ends of the elastic band must be tightly sewn or tied to form a circle. At the distance of maximum tension of the elastic band, you need to place any object on the floor (for example, a can of beer).

The opponents stand with their backs to each other, grab the elastic band and begin to move apart until the tension is felt. After this, at the signal from the leader, tug-of-war begins. Rivals pull each other, trying to reach the prize. The participant who first picks up the prize wins.

Game "Communication"

All guests of the holiday play. Main role in the game performed by the birthday boy. He sits on a chair in the center of the room or at the head of the table. It is important that the hero of the occasion can see all the guests. The presenter stands behind him. He begins to show the guests cards with certain facts (for example, “has a car,” “traveled abroad,” “has a dress,” “has three children,” etc.). The person to whom this statement applies must stand up. It may not be one person. The birthday boy needs to determine what connects these people.

Game "Air Combat"

All the children who are present at the holiday play. They are divided equally into 2 teams. To play the game you will need Balloons two colors in the same quantity. There should be 2 times more balls than participants.

Before the game starts, the room is divided in half with chairs. Team members stand on their field. They are asked to choose the color of the balls. After this, all the balls are collected into a blanket. Adults stand at the border of the fields and shake the blanket. The balls rise up.

The children's task is to throw balloons of their color onto the opponents' field and defend their field. Groovy music plays during the game. When it turns off, the game stops and the winner is determined. The team with fewer opponent balls on its field wins.

Game "Reflection"

All the children who are present at the holiday play. They line up in one or more rows and turn to face the leader. The presenter explains to the children the concept of “mirror reflection”. Then he begins to show different movements. The players' task is to repeat them, as in a mirror. For example, if the leader raises up left hand, children must raise the right one; if he takes a step to the left, you need to step to the right; touches the right ear - touches the left and so on. Whoever makes a mistake is out of the game. The child who never makes a mistake wins.

Several children take part in the competition. To carry it out you will need balloons and paper folding pipes for the holidays. Each participant receives a ball and a pipe.

Children stand along the starting line. At the leader's command, they place the ball in front of them and, blowing into the pipe, push it to the finish line. Having reached your destination, you need to raise the ball high. The participant who completes the task first wins.

Hello, Dear friends and blog guests about original gifts and congratulations! Let's discuss fun birthday contests for adults?

So, I give the floor to Lena.

Hi all! I think that before the next holiday, which you plan to celebrate at home, you are also visited by a variety of thoughts. How to prepare a delicious table, how to clean and decorate an apartment or your own yard. But for the celebration to be remembered not only by fatigue and a bunch of envelopes with money, special emotions are needed. And achieving this state is much easier than you might think. All you need is an interesting event program.

What does this include? And everything that your imagination can suggest: games and fun competitions, unusual ways giving gifts and even various theatrical performances. Previously, our birthdays left a very ambiguous feeling. They all looked alike. And sometimes this routine even brought tears to my eyes on a seemingly solemn day.

But now, before every holiday, I try to arrange something new so that not only the guests, but also we, the hosts, have pleasant emotions from the time spent.

In general, I’m sharing my work today! I really hope that this article will help you create your own interesting and colorful holiday program with your own hands. All the elements of the entertainment program that I will give below have already been successfully tested by us. So feel free to use it if you like something.

This article is dedicated to birthday competitions. So, choose for joy!

Competition "Rhymemaker"

Until the guests are very warmed up, there is no point in taking them away from the table. Therefore, you can start with “sedentary” competitions. This competition is simple, its essence is that participants are given cards on which any 3 words are written. The task is to compose a poem in honor of the holiday, the birthday boy and other heroes of the occasion, using all these words in the text. The number of participants is not limited.

The one who comes up with the most creative, fun poem wins.

A variation of this competition: a famous poem is given. The task is to remake it to fit the meaning of the holiday and certainly to rhyme. We played this at a friends wedding; there were two teams with enough a large number participants. Let me tell you, we laughed non-stop.

Competition "Fairytale"

This competition can also be held while sitting at the table. 2-3 participants (or two or three teams) are selected who need to tell a famous fairy tale in the genre of comedy, thriller, melodrama, horror film, etc. Participants choose genres in a lottery. The most exciting tale wins.

The competition is actually very unusual, it requires a creative approach, but it’s worth it! We made fun of the pockmarked chicken so much :)

Competition "Sausage"

This game is also a “sedentary” game, but it is better to play it when the guests have had enough fun. Everyone plays! The task is this: the presenter asks questions. And the participants take turns answering them with the word “sausage” or similar-root adjectives, participles, adverbs (for example, sausage, sausage, etc.). Everything would be simple, but you only need to answer with a serious face. The one who smiled, and even more so laughed, is eliminated. The most persistent one wins. You can even get a diploma for endurance.

The more inappropriate, the merrier. By the way, it is better to think through the list of questions in advance and make it as long as possible.

The guests enjoyed playing this game; it was a lot of fun, especially when there were some not very appropriate and not very decent questions.

Well, is it time to leave the table?

Competition "Ideal Gift"

Fun birthday competitions for adults can be not only fun, but also lively and noisy!

To participate, 2-3 teams of 2 people each are needed. And also props: wrapping paper (you can use thin corrugated paper, which is sold in any stationery store), ribbons and blanks for boxes with small gifts for the birthday boy. It's better if these boxes are non-standard shape, for example, round.

Team members sit/stand next to each other and have one hand tied (that is, one left, the other right). Hands are free at the edges of the tandem. Task: in 5 minutes, pack a gift box in paper as neatly and creatively as possible, tie a beautiful bow. And then present your work to the birthday boy, saying, of course, your sincere congratulations.

The catch is that participants can only use one of their hands. The second hand is the partner’s hand. Try to change your mind right away)))) We tried it, the gifts turned out just right 🙂!

Paper Shredder Competition

You need 2 participants, 2 A4 sheets, 2 bowls and a stopwatch. Task: in 30-40 seconds (maximum minute), tear a sheet of paper into small pieces into a bowl with one hand. The winner is the one who has the smallest piece of paper left in his hand (well, or no paper left at all). You cannot cheat, and the pieces in the bowl must be small!

Competition “Catch it, ball!”

We need 2 teams of 2 participants. Props: 2 plastic bowls, a pack of ping pong balls. In each team, one of the participants holds a bowl at chest level. And the second participant moves away to a distance of 3-4 meters. Task: within a minute he must throw as many balls as possible into that bowl. Naturally, the team that throws the most balls wins.

The funny thing is that the balls bounce off easily and it’s very difficult to keep them inside the bowl even after they seem to hit.

Creative birthday competitions (my favorites)

These competitions allow you to show your talent, which many may not even know about.

Competition "Clip"

The essence of this competition is to show a famous song using acting skills: facial expressions, gestures, characteristic sounds. Be sure to prepare several of these songs. So, the song starts, and then the participant(s) comes out in character and begins to show everything that is sung about in the selected composition.

We tried this on New Year to the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”, and in 2 versions - one year as a team, and another time one person showed. It was very interesting and fun.

Competition "Universal Artist"

I won’t say which show exactly the meaning of the next competition is close to, because... I just don’t watch TV, but the point is this: you need to sing a song in the style of a famous person.

Props: cards with the words of songs on the theme of the holiday or just the birthday boy’s favorite songs, cards with famous characters (politicians, show business stars, cartoon characters and other public figures). The number of cards in both categories must be the same.

Participants (there should be no more than character cards) take turns first drawing a piece of paper from the first pile, and then from the second.

We staged a real show, where I was the host, announcing, as expected, each participant. Of course, there was applause, standing ovations and a lot of positivity. Especially when V.V. Zhirinovsky appeared on the stage. I highly recommend this competition, it’s not like you’re looking for clothespins on someone else’s body :)

Actually, interesting and fun competitions You can still find a lot of birthday ideas for adults on the Internet. I have given you just a small part of what was tested and remembered recently (and how much more is lost in the depths of memory!).

So try it, don't sit at the table. It’s good if you have somewhere to run and look for gifts. But also in ordinary apartment you can have a real fun holiday, without disturbing your neighbors with your stomping and getting real positive emotions. And I talked about how to organize a holiday in nature on my blog Domovenok-Art (see the article at the link).

These are the kind of fun birthday contests for adults that each of you can arrange. I am very grateful to Lena for this interesting material. I hope that you will definitely use the information prepared by Lena and have an unforgettable holiday! Write your opinions and your favorite competitions in the comments below this article!

When preparing to celebrate his birthday, inviting guests to the celebration, the birthday person needs to select funny table competitions in advance to make the holiday as bright and interesting as possible, and, most importantly, to avoid awkward, protracted pauses or unwanted conversations.

Competitions should be chosen exclusively for table competitions- as a rule, adults have absolutely no desire to get up from the table to participate in outdoor games - therefore an invitation to jump and run is unlikely to be greeted with enthusiasm by guests.

At the same time, the number of competitions should not exceed 5-6, otherwise even the funniest entertainment program will be unreasonably drawn out and will soon become boring.

Necessary props and organizational preparations

Most of the competitions below don't require a host, but some will require a host to be chosen through a public vote—which can be a fun contest in itself.
Or agree in advance that one of your loved ones will take on this role.

Props

For competitive program must be prepared in advance:

• tokens or medals;
• red box;
• forfeits with tasks;
• blindfold and mittens (according to the number of guests);
• cards with drawings in a blue or pink (depending on whose birthday) box:
  – scales for weighing trucks,
  - desert,
  - telescope,
  — alcohol mashine,
  - tank,
  - police car,
  — lemon Tree,
  - propeller.
• two bags (boxes);
• cards with questions;
• answer cards;
• long nose made of cardboard and elastic;
• glass of water;
• ring.

Red box

A “Red Box” with forfeits is being prepared separately for those who lost in competitions or dropped out of the game.
You can make the “Red Box” yourself, from colored paper and tape, or buy a ready-made one.

Forfeit tasks should be as funny as possible, for example:

• sing a funny song with a serious look, in a false voice, without hitting a single note;
• dance while sitting (with arms, shoulders, eyes, head, etc. funny dance);
• show a trick (and in such a way that it doesn’t work - it’s clear that there are no magicians among the guests);
• recite a funny poem, ask an unusual riddle, tell a funny story, and so on.

Attention: The “Red Box” will remain in the middle of the table throughout the entertainment program. As mentioned above, it is for the losing participants. Therefore, do not forget to “reward” the eliminated contestant with a phantom - and it doesn’t matter if the tasks are repeated - after all, everyone will perform them in their own way!

Competition No. 1 “Find the birthday boy”

Guests are blindfolded.
The leader moves everyone as he wants.

As a result, no one knows who is sitting where now, and who is nearby.

Each guest is given warm mittens. You need to find out by touch who is sitting next to you, touching with your hands in mittens only the head and face of your neighbor.
Firstly, it tickles and inevitably makes you laugh!
And secondly, it’s very interesting to try to guess a person through touch!

Each participant guesses who is on the left.
You can only try to guess once, final goal- find the birthday boy.

The headbands are removed only when the last participant has guessed or not guessed his neighbor, but if the birthday person is discovered, the game ends earlier.

Whoever fails to guess his neighbor draws a forfeit from the “Red Box” and completes a funny task.

Competition No. 2 “Wishes and funny gifts for the birthday boy”

This is a very funny competition for resourceful guests with a sense of humor.

First, the Presenter says the main congratulations.
It sounds like this: “Dear (our) birthday boy (ca)! We all sincerely love you and wish you good health, happiness and prosperity! May all your dreams come true! Now the rest of the guests will complement my wishes!”

Next, each participant must say the following phrase: , and then pull a picture out of the blue (or pink) box, show it to the birthday boy (or birthday girl), and explain why he gives this particular item to the hero of the occasion? If no explanation is found, then the contestant reads out the text on back side Pictures.

The next participant, before taking the picture out of the box, again repeats the beginning of the congratulatory phrase “And I know that this is exactly what you really need, that’s why I’m giving it!” and takes out his funny “gift” with an explanation of why the hero of the occasion really needs it!

So, for example, having pulled out a picture of a desert, the participant first says the main phrase with which everyone who draws pictures begins: “And I know that this is exactly what you really need, that’s why I’m giving it!”, and if you didn’t find your wish, read the phrase written on the picture on the back side: “Let them go there, into the distance, forever, holding hands, and let all your enemies and enemies never be able to return, having captured all your troubles!”

What should be shown and written in the pictures is indicated in the section “ Preliminary preparation", but let's repeat it again:

1. The box contains pictures of unusual objects.
2. On the reverse side, as a hint, wishes are written. First, the guest, looking at the picture pulled out of the box, tries to come up with an original wish for the birthday girl (birthday boy), then looks at the hint written on the back of the picture and adds to his congratulations.
3. You can add other pictures, in any quantity - the more pictures and wishes, the more interesting the competition.

Minimum required images for the competition:

• a picture of special scales for weighing loaded KamAZ trucks, on the reverse side it is written: “I wish you so much wealth that it is impossible to count, but only to weigh with such scales!”;
• image of a telescope, on the back it says: “I wish that all dreams and their fulfillment were much closer than those stars in the sky that are visible through a telescope!”;
• moonshine still, on the back there is a wish: “Let a considerable percentage of unbridled fun always play in your veins!”;
• picture of a tank, wish: “So that you always have something to go to the store with!”
• image of a police car with flashing lights: “So that when you drive, the people make way!”
• tree with lemons growing, inscription: "So that you all year round“lemons” and not only fruits grew!”
• a picture of a desert, on the back it says: “Let all your enemies go there, into the distance, forever, holding hands, and never be able to return, taking all your troubles with you!”
• image of a propeller from the film “Kid and Carlson”, inscription: “May your life always be Karslson, who lives on the roof and brings many valuable gifts!”

There are two winners in the competition:
First: the one who came up with the funniest congratulations to the birthday boy (birthday girl);
Second: the one who read the inscription on the picture funniest of all.

Competition No. 3 “Tell about yourself: let’s play cards”

Two bags (or two boxes): one contains chaotically mixed cards with questions, the other contains answers.
1. The presenter pulls a card from the bag with questions and reads it out loud.
2. The first participant in the feast draws a card from the bag with answers and an expression.

It's the random combinations of questions and answers that will be funny..

For example, Leader: “Have you ever been stopped by a traffic police officer?”
The answer might be: "It is so sweet".

Each player is given a hoop with a specific shape on his head. It could be a fruit, a vegetable, a character, a famous person.

The players’ task is to guess who he is using clarifying questions that can only be answered “yes” or “no.”

Instead of hoops, you can make cardboard masks, then the game will turn out not only interesting, but also very funny.

Competition No. 5 “Long Nose”

Everyone puts on pre-prepared noses.

At the Leader’s command, you need to pass a small ring from nose to nose, and at the same time a glass of water from hand to hand, trying not to spill a drop.

Anyone who drops a ring or spills water receives a forfeit.

Competition No. 6 “Find something in common”

Players are divided into teams.
The presenter shows three pictures that have something in common.
To motivate and cheer up the teams, the condition may be as follows: the team that did not guess the answer drinks penalty glasses.

Guests are divided into pairs. One partner takes out a piece of paper, reads the word to himself and explains to his partner using gestures what it means.
If the answer is not found, you can suggest one in words, but not by naming the word itself, but by describing its essence.
The team that gets the most correct answers wins.

The one who takes the picture last layer, receives a prize.

Competition No. 9 “Gossip Girl”

This funny competition is more suitable for a small company, because headphones will be needed for all participants. Or several volunteers may participate and others will observe the process.

Only the one who says the first phrase remains without headphones. This must be some kind of secret about the birthday girl (birthday boy).
He says it loudly, but in such a way that it is impossible to hear all the words clearly.

The second player passes on the phrase he supposedly heard to the third, the third to the fourth, and so on.
Guests who have already shared “gossip about the birthday girl” can take off their headphones and observe what other participants end up sharing.
The last player voices the phrase he heard, and the first player says the original.

Competition No. 10 “Second Half”

Guests will have to use all their acting skills.

The first person writes a continuation based on the first sentence.
The second person reads the first person's sentence, adds his own, and folds the piece of paper so that the third guest can only see the sentence that the person in front of him wrote.

Interesting birthday competitions for children are a must-have attribute of a modern holiday. Boring gatherings with eating cakes and not understanding what to do with your free time are long gone.

Many parents invite friends to the birthday party and strive to add a touch of creativity to the children's party. To help moms and dads - tips on organizing a celebration, a description of birthday competitions for boys and girls, for kids and older children.

What competitions can you organize? How to interest children?

Professional animators give advice:

• take into account the age of the guests, select tasks that the birthday boy and friends can easily cope with;
• prepare more props: children love to dress up, change clothes, draw, turn into fairy-tale characters;
• alternate calm activities with fun relay races;
• find out more about your son or daughter’s friends, ask about their preferences;
• a win-win option - a themed party with original costumes;
• refuse competitions in which participants will feel awkward (humiliated). Do not allow the results of competitions to create a division between stupid and smart, quiet people and activists, incompetents and jacks of all trades. Entertainment should cause joy and laughter, not ridicule;
• prepare prizes. The main thing: attention, not the price of the gift. The reward must be age appropriate;
• think over two or three competitions in which there are no winners: all children receive gifts for participation. Required condition for children aged 3–4 years;
• invite all young guests to participate;
• prepare a script, write the names of the competitions on a sheet of paper, short description, to easily navigate which task to offer;
• come up with entertainment taking into account the size of the room. If there is not too much space, if possible, remove it for the day of the holiday extra furniture, unnecessary things, fragile decor. IN big room It's easier to hold sports competitions: take advantage of this.

Advice! Be sure to consult with your child. Of course, the holiday should be a surprise, but many children are happy to participate in organizing the celebration, offering interesting solutions. Make props together and think through competitions. Don't scoff if your child's suggestions seem naive or too simple. If your son or daughter is sure that their friends will be delighted, include the task on the list.

Quiet competitions

Immediately after a tasty treat, you should not run or jump. Offer your guests quizzes, imagination tasks, writing funny poems and original fairy tales. When choosing tasks, consider how old the birthday person and guests are. The presenter is mom or dad, it is better if both parents participate.

Acquaintance

The competition is suitable for children of all ages. The task will allow guests to get comfortable and feel less shy, especially if the company is made up of children who don’t know each other well. Often a child invites friends from the yard, preschoolers/classmates. A simple task will help you get to know each other.

The presenter asks the children who have Blue colour in clothes, tell a little about yourself. The guys with yellow, red, green and so on. Everyone should introduce themselves and say a few phrases.

Broken phone

The competition is suitable for children aged 5 years and older. The game has been known for decades, but it cheers up little guests. The more participants, the more unexpected the result, the more fun. Remember the essence: the leader quietly says a word to the first of the children, who speaks the word in the ear of the second, then to the third, until he reaches the last participant. It is important to speak quickly, not to hold up the line, and not to pronounce every syllable perfectly.

Most often, the word is modified beyond recognition. The funniest results are if the word has 2-4 syllables and is not very “simple”, for example, Murzilka, Krokodilchik, Businka.

Fun and funny contests for adults' birthdays

You shouldn’t just invite guests who come to your home or restaurant to immediately take part in cool competitions. First, you need to give the invitees the opportunity to calmly chat, rest, relax, and, of course, try all the offered treats. It is better to move on to entertainment at the moment when guests begin to get a little bored.

There are many fun birthday contests. The following are especially popular among adults:

1. "Never give up!". All guests who are ready to participate in the competition are divided into pairs: man-girl. The participants of each tandem turn their backs to each other and become closer. The hands of the girl and the man are tied. At the command of an outside participant, all pairs begin to squat. Gradually, tired people drop out of the competition. The fun continues until only one couple remains squatting. Participants who do not give up are awarded a prize.
2. "Chinese guests." Participants receive a saucer with a small amount of boiled rice sprinkled on it, as well as special chopsticks. It is important that the portions are the same. After the host's command, the guests begin to eat rice from the plate. The winner is the one who is the first to successfully complete the task. Instead of rice, you can use other foods and dishes.
3. "Dream Bags" The host of the competition picks up two bags at once. One contains notes from guests, on which it is written what they would like to give to the hero of the occasion if they had an unlimited amount of money. In the other there are cards with cool tasks. The birthday person must alternately choose a note-card pair. The host of the competition announces to him that he will be able to receive the specified gift if its author completes the specified task. The result can be a lot of fun active entertainment, depending on the content of the cards in the second bag. There can be creative, sports and any other tasks.
4. "Trick". Each guest is invited to recite a poem loudly, beautifully and with expression, trying to “outdo” the other participants with their performance. After all the texts have been spoken, the presenter says that it is time to reveal the winner. And they will suddenly become, for example, the person who turns out to be the tallest, or has blue eyes, or maximum size legs. You can come up with a lot of funny interesting options. The main thing is that expressive reading of poetry will be completely “out of topic” here.
5. "Figure skating". Participants are briefly invited to become single skaters or work in pairs. Special music is played for each person or couple. For example, in a minute the participant must “skate” on imaginary skates, demonstrating his artistry and skill. The rest of the guests will evaluate the performance and give points. The winner will be one person or a couple.
6. "Eye meter". All guests are invited to take turns trying to determine by eye the size of the shoes and clothes of their neighbor at the table. The competition goes in circles. When a participant manages to correctly name the size of the guest sitting next to him, he receives a miniature gift, but if not, he will have to drink a “penalty drink.”
7. "Memories of childhood." Guests are invited to remember the very first years of their life and their favorite fairy tale or cartoon character. Next - each participant in the competition must go to the center of the hall and everyone possible ways portray this very hero. The rest of the guests will try to guess it. The prize goes to the person whose character those present guessed the fastest.
8. “Write a ditty.” All guests are divided into small teams. It will be enough for 4-5 people in each. The birthday boy tells them a couple of any words, and the formed teams must write funny ditties in a minute. The winner will be determined by applause.
