Game "Sign Language"
The game is built on the principle of pantomime. Everyone can participate in it. They are divided equally into 2 teams.
At the beginning of the game, the first group of participants speaks into the ear of a representative from the opposing team any word on the topic “Colors”. His task is, with the help of facial expressions and gestures, to portray to his partners a picture that evokes associations with the hidden color. It is prohibited to indicate it on elements of clothing or interior design. Colors need to be simple, easy to understand. The task of the second team is to guess the word shown within 30 seconds. If she manages to give the correct answer, she earns 1 point.
After this, the second team wishes its color to the first group of participants. The game continues until all players have shown a word. For variety, you can come up with another topic (for example, “Phenomena” - volcanic eruption, storm, tornado, thunder, etc.)
The team with the most points (which guesses more words) wins.
Everyone can participate in the competition. Each participant receives a piece of paper and a pen.
The contestants' task is to come up with funny instructions for using any device or describe step-by-step how to perform any action. The more absurd the topic, the better. You can prepare tasks on cards in advance and offer participants a choice.
Topic Examples
Creative competition. Several guys are involved. They get one pair each rubber boots, a set of gouache paints and brushes for painting.
The participants’ task is to decorate boots for their ladies on a specific theme in 2 minutes. The options need to be written on pieces of paper, folded and given to the guys to choose from. At the end of the competition, the girls present choose the most interesting and original version design.
Examples of topics: boots for going to an interview, on a date, to a club for a party.
3-4 people participate in the competition. To carry it out, you need to prepare bowls with peas, corn, rice and various cuts of vegetables, meat, and fish. You can use any products, the main thing is that they are difficult to pick up with chopsticks.
Participants receive a large flat plate and Chinese chopsticks. The presenter gives them a task: in 1 minute, collect as many foods as possible into a composition on a plate. After the participants complete the task and begin to figure out who will get the status of winner, the presenter announces the second stage of the competition. Now you need to eat the contents of your dish as quickly as possible using chopsticks. The participant who completes this task faster than others wins.
Several pairs of guys participate in the competition. They stand with their backs to each other and clasp their hands. Near each pair there are apples (the same number) on the floor and a large bowl.
The participants' task is to collect all the apples from the floor into a bowl without releasing their hands. Then you need to unhook and transfer them one by one to your basket, which is located at a certain distance from them. In this case, only one participant can run from the collection point to the basket and back. He needs to carry the second one on his back or drag it along with him. One should run to the basket, and the other should return.
The winner is the pair that is the first to collect all the apples in a bowl, transfer them to the basket, and return back to the starting place. The competition can be diversified by adding different obstacles.
Got a party coming up? Then you need it. Good luck!
"Keep the ball!"
Couples take part in the game. Each pair holds a small ball with their backs. The participants' task is to roll the ball from their head to the floor as quickly as possible, so that it does not roll to the side. The fastest pair to do this is considered the winner.
"Dance with a Lid"
To play, you will need an ordinary pan lid. Participants divide into pairs, clamp the lid of a saucepan between them and begin to dance to fast music. They must dance so that the lid does not fall, and if this does happen, the couple is eliminated from the game. The remaining couples continue to compete until the winner.
Wall climber
All players stand against the wall so that their hands are on it at shoulder level. The presenter asks questions. When answering “yes,” players raise their palms up the wall; when answering “no,” they raise their palms down. The presenter’s task is to ask more questions with the answer “yes”. (For example, “Do you like ice cream?”) Last question: “Did you all go to school?” Yes. Host: “Then why are you climbing the wall?”
Divination
Unbeknownst to others, apply a letter to your hand with a wet piece of soap. Dries out. Then announce to everyone that you will guess the name of the future groom. Ask to burn three matches, place them on your hand and rub the ashes. The letter is imprinted.
Breadwinners
Participants in each pair feed each other yogurt or sour cream. Everything is done with eyes closed.
Braids
The presenter holds three long ribbons on each side. A team of girls and a team of boys of three compete to see who can braid their hair the fastest without letting go of the ribbon. They have to run under the hands of the leader to braid their hair.
***************************
He'll figure it out! - answered the Bashkir youth.
I listened to the argument with interest. Will they figure it out or won't they figure it out? From the instructions that I read before the congress, I knew what insignificant land plots the peasants were toiling on - one sixteenth, one thirty-second of a tithe. But I have already learned that being determines consciousness. But the majority of Russian peasants were illiterate, and the Bashkirs without exception did not know the Russian language. “How will they understand the essence of the agrarian question?” - I thought.
Entire villages and auls did not have their own land and rented it from the landowner. Now I don’t remember exactly which of the Ufa Bolsheviks spoke about all this at the congress. He only compared the wretched peasant plots with the huge estates that belonged to the Ufa “noble” nobility and Bashkir bais.
His speech was immediately translated into Bashkir by the same dark-skinned boy with narrow eyes who was sitting next to us. The delegates to the congress understood this speech very well.
So before my eyes, at the first provincial congress of peasant deputies, it was decided that the peasantry in the struggle for land would be supported by the Bolsheviks. Yes, we realized that Ufa and the entire rich Ufa region belong to the Bashkir people and that it cannot be otherwise!
FATHER
When my memory takes me back to the first months of the revolution, I remember this time as an unprecedented spring holiday. And it was spring in nature. Three rivers spread widely around Ufa - Belaya, Ufnmka and Dema, and the city stood on the mountain like an island. Our country celebrated the unprecedented spring of the revolution, and my years were spring, years of waiting for love. It was complete bliss, and I owed the fullness of this bliss to my father...
And he, too, was experiencing spring. Along with the revolution, his youth returned to him. What a big and kind soul you had to have in order to, without any moralizing or preaching, extend your hand to me and take me, a young man, as your friend and constant interlocutor! Yes, then for the first time he told me a lot about himself that I did not know before - both about the revolutionary passions of his youth, and about how his natural science education led him to materialism and consistent atheism, which he adhered to all his life. He did not become a revolutionary. When the family appeared, the father put concern for family well-being above all else and plunged into the mire of county life. But then the revolution came and washed his soul. The revolution came, and he sought to restructure the sphere of his activity in a revolutionary way.
All his life, my father was burdened by private medical practice, although it must be admitted that it was this very thing that he despised. private practice was the source of our family's wealth. But, as long as I remember him, even in conversations at home, at the table, with his mother and with friends, he said that most diseases are caused by social disorder...
The cholera epidemic that struck our city every autumn was due to the lack of sanitary facilities. Consumption? Well, isn’t it clear that the reason for this is terrible working conditions, hopeless poverty? Alcoholism? Is it not clear the connection of this illness with need, with the desire to free oneself from the eternal concern for one’s daily bread? And the diseases of the rich - obesity, all types of digestive disorders - after all, they are caused by gluttony, lack of physical labor...
- Revolution, only revolution can restructure medicine and make it an instrument in the hands of society! - the father repeated.
The revolution came, and he immediately took up the cause of a revolutionary reorganization of the entire medical care of the population. Now I no longer remember all the details of the proposed reform. But in short, it consisted in the fact that medical work was declared the public duty of the doctor. For this the doctor received wages, which was paid to him by city or rural self-government, which levied a special tax on the population.
Father made a report on general meeting Union of Doctors. But, as one might expect, doctors met this project with hostility. My father and his closest supporters were expelled from the society of doctors. They left, calling their colleagues “shopkeepers.”

Loud Reading Competition
Props: newspapers (male participants)
The presenter announces that the participants must demonstrate how they read newspapers out loud at home for the whole family, and the one who does it best and loudest will win. To do this, they sit in armchairs or on chairs, roll up one trouser leg to the knee (so that their bare leg is visible), cross their legs (bare leg, naturally, on top) and are given a newspaper in their hands. Reading texts should be as diverse as possible. At the command of the presenter, the participants begin to read newspapers out loud, trying to talk down their opponents. Such a funny hubbub begins that the spectators are rolling with laughter... At the command “stop,” the reading stops, and the presenter announces the winner. The last joke: the presenter announces that in fact this competition was not for reading, but for the most hairy legs, and the prize goes to the “hairiest” one. :)))))))

Props: money, paper wrappers
The presenter calls two pairs (a guy and a girl in each pair): “Now you will try to open a whole network of banks as quickly as possible, investing only one bill in each. Get your initial deposits! (Gives the couples candy wrappers money). Pockets, lapels, and all secluded places can serve as banks for your deposits. Try to process your deposits as quickly as possible and open as many banks as possible. Get ready, let’s start!” The facilitator helps the pairs complete the task; after 1 minute, the facilitator sums up the results. Presenter: “How many bills do you have left?” And you? Fabulous! All the money is invested in the business! Well done! And now I will ask the women to switch places and withdraw the entire amount from their accounts as quickly as possible. Open the banks, withdraw money! Attention, let's start!” (Music plays, women look for money from other people's partners).
Leaflets
Props: two sheets of format - A4 or A3
Two boys and two girls take part in the game. Two chairs are placed on which the young men sit. Next, two sheets of A4 format are taken and placed on the young people’s laps. After which the girl sits on a sheet of paper lying on the young man’s lap. The task is to crumple the sheet as much as possible within 1 minute. From the outside it looks very impressive and fun! :)
girlfriend's leg
A good game option for bride ransom
Good company, a celebration with friends (just don’t do this joke with parents, grandparents, or vice versa with children), birthday, etc. In the room, ladies sit on chairs, 4-5 people. From practice - no longer necessary. They show the man that his wife (friend, acquaintance) is sitting among them and he is taken to another room and blindfolded TIGHTLY. At this moment, all the women change seats, and among them (for color) 1-2 men sit down. Everyone bares one leg (just above the knees) and lets in a man with a bandage. He is squatting, touching everyone's bare leg with his hands in turn, and must recognize his wife. There is nothing very scary, but the jokes are rubbish. There are many options. And the man “climbs” on the legs for a long time, and sometimes he doesn’t recognize the “wife,” well, and if he pointed at another man, saying that this is my wife (and he’s wearing a stocking to hide his hair) - it will be a complete FUCK. Then all the men will want it, they won’t be able to drag it away!!!
Rhinoceroses
Props: balloons (1 for each), regular thread, adhesive plaster, push pin (1 for each)
Number of people - the more, the better. The game can be either a team game or every man for himself. For the game you will need: balloons (1 for each), regular thread, adhesive plaster, pushpin (1 for each).
The balloon is inflated and tied with a thread around the waist (the balloon should be at the level and area of the buttocks). The button is used to pierce a piece of adhesive tape and stick it on the player’s forehead. This procedure is done with each participant. Then each player must fold his hands on his chest or behind his back (he cannot use them during the game), or he can tie them.
After all these preparations, the start is given (a certain amount of time is set - for a team game, after the time has elapsed, whoever survived is counted; and for the game, every man for himself - the game is played to the last), after which the player’s task is to pierce the enemy’s ball with a button on the forehead (not using your hands). It all looks simply amazing, the main thing is that there are more people. Well, the winner gets an incentive prize.
Sniffers
Props: The organizers of the game tie absolutely any (and as many) items as they want on strings and hide them in a bag.
They call a volunteer and blindfold him. When the eyes are blindfolded, the leader takes one of the prepared items dangling on a rope from the bag and brings it to the volunteer’s nose. You need to determine without the help of your hands, only through the sense of smell: what kind of thing it is. Guess what, you will get this very thing as a gift...
The very first one is given something simpler, like an apple. The rest, inspired by the example, will then stand in line. It can be very funny when an unfortunate sniffer pokes his nose, for example, into a suspended can of beer, which is dangling back and forth...
Finally, it comes to the point where volunteers are given scented condoms to smell. The volunteer sucks in air with all his might, and the people just crawl under the furniture out of laughter. You can also let them smell the bills. And if he guesses right, then let him tell you what denomination the money was. Practice shows that there is always someone who is able to guess the dignity by smell...
About the first wedding night
Props: pen and paper for presenter
Each guest is asked to try to reach their heel without bending their knees. Everything that the player says during this “exercise” is written down by the presenter on a piece of paper (not forgetting to indicate the name of the speaker next to each statement). If the player silently tries to complete this exercise, the facilitator asks leading questions: what do you feel now, what are your sensations, etc. When all the guests have gone through this, and all their statements have been recorded in detail, the host announces: “And now we will find out what (for example, Anna) thinks about her wedding night,” and reads all the recorded statements of this player. And so with the statements of each guest.
Dressers
Props: thick winter mittens, shirt or robe.
Male players are provided with thick winter mittens. Their task is to fasten as quickly as possible the largest number of buttons on a shirt or robe, which is worn over the clothes of their playing partner.
Hunting for marbles
Props: inflated rubber balls
Group version of the game “Balls”. Evening dresses are not a hindrance. Inflated balloons are tied to the ankles (we tied one at a time), in the absence of balloons or their shortage for everyone, you can replace them with “rubber products” (tested - no worse). On command, everyone rushes to eat each other's balls with their feet, trying to protect theirs. The game continues until the last ball. The winner is the owner of that very last ball. The game is very stormy, noisy, fun, but, unfortunately, fast (but there are a lot of impressions).
Roll the ball
Props: several tennis balls
Several pairs participate in the game. Each pair receives two ping pong balls. Men roll these balls from the lady's right sleeve to her left sleeve. Ladies roll balls through a man's trousers from the right leg to the left.
Hanging Apple
Props: an apple (grape, etc.) is tied by the tail with a thread and suspended
The first option involves eating apples at speed, not yet removed from the tree, in the second: the apple is tied by the tail with a thread and hung on a chandelier (for example). In both cases, you cannot help yourself with your hands. The most interesting version of this game is a team one, when both a guy and a girl take part in eating each apple. In conditions of a poor harvest of apples, they can be replaced with bunches of grapes, but the absorption of these heavenly fruits should be carried out simultaneously by a guy and a girl to create a piquancy of the situation.
Firemen
Props: two chairs and a rope or ribbon two meters long
Turn out the sleeves of two jackets and hang them on the backs of chairs. Place the chairs at a distance of one meter, with their backs facing each other. Place a rope (ribbon) two meters long under the chairs. Both participants stand at their chairs. At the signal, they must take their jackets, turn out the sleeves, put them on, and fasten all the buttons. Then run around your opponent’s chair, sit on your chair and pull out the string (tape) and take it for yourself.
Understand me!!!
The participants of the game (at least 4 people) are divided into two teams. A “driving” team is appointed. The other team comes up with a word without being heard by the opposing players. This word is communicated “in the ear” of one of the representatives of the “driving” team. The goal of this participant in the game is to depict with gestures the meaning of the word communicated to him so that his team names the hidden word. Using letters, pronouncing this word with your lips without a voice (and, of course, with your voice), and also pointing at an object called this word is prohibited. If a team guesses the word, it gets a point.
Next, the teams switch places. In the next round, other representatives from the teams must speak, and so on until everyone has spoken. Of course, this game may not seem very funny, but if you give free rein to your imagination, you can come up with very “interesting” words: “vacuum cleaner”, “orgasm”, etc. In addition, of course, the players are required to be relaxed and have a light, humorous attitude towards fun.
This dance evening may not take place at the school itself, but in some cafe or club with a large dance floor. This, of course, will be more expensive, but it will give the teacher-organizers peace of mind.
The dances themselves at the evening should alternate with competitions and practical jokes, so that schoolchildren are unlikely to get bored. And of course, we need a presenter who can attract as many children as possible to the action, including the most modest ones.
The first thing you need to do is unite everyone into one big dancing circle so that the guys feel more relaxed. The presenter comes out to the middle of the site.
Leading.
You came to dance, right? But I haven't seen how you can move yet. Come on, show me your dancing skills. No, guys, that won't work. I see that not everyone came here to dance. Many decided to stand their ground or, even worse, sit out. This will not work! Let's organize one big circle.
All participants stand in a circle, in the middle of which is the Leader.
Look carefully at your neighbors to your left and right. Don't notice anything? Then notice that we all have hands. Did you notice? Wonderful! Very valuable observation! Now take yours right hand the hand of the neighbor on the right. And we begin to dance in a circle, as in distant childhood on the Christmas tree. Only at the same time everyone should say: “We all have hands!”
Everyone begins to move in a circle around the Leader, saying: “We all have hands!”
Leading.
Now look at your neighbors even more carefully. What else have you discovered? That's right, everyone has necks! We hug the neighbor on the right by the neck. More tenderly, more tenderly... No need to be rude! And we continue the round dance, only now everyone says: “We have necks!” More joyful, more joyful! You should be glad that you have necks! Pay attention to your neighbor again. What a coincidence! We all have shoulders! Let's grab our neighbor's shoulder! Repeat after me: “We all have shoulders!” Let's look at our neighbor even more carefully! We notice that we all have waists. Well, some people have it more, some less, but everyone has it without exception. We hold each other’s waists and say: “We all have waists!” Okay, we sorted that out. Let's pay attention to the more piquant places of your neighbors. I mean ears of course! Hold your neighbor's ear! We repeat: “We all have ears!” Do we have noses? Of course have. Follow me: “We all have noses!” Let's not stop the round dance! Faster Faster!
The round dance speeds up its movement.
Leading.
We all have chins! Faster! We all have hair! We all have fingers! Now let's run! We all have elbows! We all have legs!
Usually, at this point in the game, funny confusion begins, since running around in a round dance, holding on to your neighbor’s leg, is very inconvenient.
Leading.
All! Stopped! Now you see how much we have in common! See how everyone has the same body parts! That is, we are all equally created for dancing. So why don't we dance then?!
The music turns on, the guys dance. But the Leader does not allow them to relax for long.
Leading.
And now the first competition. All interested couples are invited to participate. If you don't have a pair, choose one! Dear young men! The essence of this competition is that you dance not only with your partner, but also with balloon, tied to her leg. Disassemble the balls! Ring your partners with them.
Boys tied up Balloons to the ankles of their partners by a thread. It is best to use small balls in this game that are difficult to hit.
At my command you begin to dance. As I already said, the task of the boys is to keep their partner’s ball intact. In addition, you also need to crush the balls of other people's partners with your foot. The pair whose ball bursts leaves the game. And the couple that keeps their ball intact and unharmed will win. Go! Let's music!
Rhythmic music sounds. Couples dance, dodging other people's feet. Those whose balloon has burst stand at the edges of the dance floor. Eventually the winning couple is announced. They are awarded a small prize. Music is playing. The guys are dancing.
After a short period of time, the Host again interrupts the dancing for the competition.

You probably know about the famous newspaper dances. Have any of you ever danced on a newspaper? Now such an opportunity will present itself. Here are your mini dance floors...
He spreads several newspapers on the floor.
All couples who want to show their art of dancing on miniature squares, please come to me. Each pair gets a newspaper. Just don't read them! You need to dance on them. Get on the newspapers! Your task is not to leave them while dancing. It's all pretty easy, isn't it? Well, let's see how easy it will be for you and whether you can cope with the task.
Since the Presenter did not warn that the area of the newspaper under each pair would gradually decrease, the task may seem too easy to the unsuspecting young dancers. However, during the dance, the Leader gradually tears off a piece from each newspaper. The area for dancing is getting smaller each time. The winner is the one who lasts the longest on a piece of newspaper. Usually the winner is the one who holds his partner in his arms longer. After the presentation of prizes, ten to fifteen minutes of dancing follow. Then the Host gathers everyone again for a new competition.

Everything flows, everything changes... Why am I talking about this?.. Oh, well, yes, the music changes, and we change along with it. Are you capable of changing as many times as the music changes? What does it mean? Now you'll see! I ask everyone to come to me. We will dance individually, but couples can also participate. Only then will the prize have to be divided into two. The task, at first glance, is quite simple: to match the sounding music with your movements. Now our DJ will play his mix of various melodies, and you will try to match them with your body movements. If any surprises happen during the competition... I mean musical surprises... Don't get confused. The main thing is to keep dancing and not stop for a minute. The winner of this competition is the one who best captures the changes in music. Please DJ, start mocking the dancers!
The “surprise” is that the DJ actually plays a crazy mix of many melodies following each other in a completely free sequence: for example, after 10 seconds of slow music there are 20 seconds of fast music, which suddenly gives way to a tango that plays for half a minute. Tango abruptly switches to disco rhythms, which last only about five seconds. And so on.
Musical excerpts should be different in length, rhythm, and style. Include an excerpt from “Swan Lake” into the soundtrack. Watch how the dancers “transition” from disco to Tchaikovsky. Several times the DJ turns off the soundtrack altogether, and the dancers need to feign silence while still moving, as agreed. If one of the participants hesitates, the Leader immediately reminds that there was a condition not to interrupt the dance.
After the competition, the results are summed up and the most artistic participant (or the most artistic and well-coordinated couple) is selected, whose movements best corresponded to all musical fragments, including those when the music died down.
After this competition, the dance program continues, and for about fifteen minutes the guys dance to the music chosen by the DJ. After a while, the Leader quietly appears among the dancers. He is clearly going to play pranks and is now organizing a “snake”. Grabbing the hand of one of the dancers, he pulls him along, who picks up the third dancer, who, in turn, picks up the fourth, etc. The “snake” moves around the hall, skirting the dancers and collecting more and more participants. In the end, all participants in the dance party will be drawn into a single movement.
When the “snake” gathers everyone into itself, its “head”, that is, the Leader, begins to twist the chain in a spiral. As a result, the “snake” turns out to be coiled. The beginning of the “snake” is somewhere in the middle of the rings, and it is no longer possible to get out of there. This is where the movement ends. Everyone begins to noisily unravel the rings.

And now it’s our guys’ turn to show themselves. Guys, come on over to me. Now let's see which of you are Robinhoods, Chinganchguks, Napoleons and Gagarins. At the beginning of the evening, our girls had to dance with balloons on their feet. Some of them are still experiencing this fact... Now the girls will stand aside and watch the boys. Just first we need your help, girls. Tie these matchboxes from behind to the belts of our young men with threads. Just do it in such a way that the boxes touch the floor.
The girls tie empty matchboxes to the boys' belts. Boxes must touch the floor so that they can be stepped on.
Leading.
Do you know, Robinhoods, that it is now very fashionable to wear a matchbox on your back, tied with a thread to your belt? Do not know?! So, I'm telling you about this. Envy each other, because now you will all have boxes hanging on your belt. But everyone can’t be equally cool, right? Everyone can't carry matchboxes. This means, Chinganchguki, your task consists of three parts: firstly, you need to beautifully perform a dance to the music offered to you, secondly, deprive as many of your opponents as possible of the opportunity to have boxes on their belts, and, simply put, step on your neighbor’s boxes and tear it off the thread with your foot. Thirdly, and this is the most difficult thing, you need to protect your own box from the insidious attacks of your opponents. The horseman who keeps his box on his belt will win. This will be really cool. Begin!
Rhythmic music is playing, young men are jumping around the site, trying to step on each other's boxes. In the end, only the two most evasive ones remain, who decide who will be the winner.
Leading.
Boys, don't disperse! There is an opportunity to win another prize! Of course, to do this you need to take part in a competition for the most accurate one. I need five volunteers! (Five young men come out.) I hand you the targets. (Hands out a small basin to the competition participants and plastic cup.) Place the basins on the floor near you. Place the glasses in basins in the middle. This will be your “apple” or “ten”, as you wish. And here is the weapon you will have to shoot from. (Hands out a liter to everyone plastic bottle filled with water.) Your task is to hold the bottle between your knees, open it and carefully fill your glass to the brim. I repeat: to the brim! We start as soon as the music starts. The winner is the one who fills his glass the fastest. Go!
There is a competition going on. The winner receives a prize.
Again, music plays for 15-20 minutes, to which the guys simply dance, like at a regular disco. After a while, the Leader gets involved again.
Leading.
Well, the boys showed themselves. Now let's see how dexterous and agile our girls are. Girls, don't be shy, come to me. It’s strange, usually it’s the girls who are always more active during competitions. You don't know why? Maybe they want to win some kind of prize more? Or is it a sporting interest? Tell me. Okay, now all the girls will have the opportunity to show themselves. Only I need a young man to help me. (A young man comes out who will help the Host during the competition.) Girls, have any of you been to the Hawaiian Islands? And in Cuba? And in some Latin American countries?
Well, at least do you remember the Lambada dance? So, in all these countries the following game is very popular. (The leader picks up a bar about one and a half meters long or a piece of rope of the same length. He passes the second end of the bar or rope to the assistant. The bar is raised to the height of average human height, the rope is pulled at the same height.) What do you think, girls, is it easy go under this bar? Let's try. Anyone who wants to, go under this bar and see how easy it is. (Girls listening to Latin American music easily pass under the bar.) What do you think, if we lower the bar this much (lowers the bar by fifteen centimeters), it will be just as easy for you to pass under it? Let's try with one condition: if the bar prevents someone from walking under it straight, they only need to bend backwards. No forward is allowed. (Music sounds, girls pass under the bar.) This is all wonderful. You demonstrate simply miracles of flexibility. Well done! But it will be really difficult ahead. If we lower the bar this much more... (lowers the bar another 15 centimeters). Who will dare to pass under it now?
With each circle, the Leader and partner lower the bar lower and lower. The girls try to walk under it while listening to the music, leaning back. In this case, it is forbidden to touch the bar itself with your hands. The lower the bar goes, the fewer participants will be able to bend as low. Accordingly, everyone who fails the flexibility test is eliminated from the game. In the end, the most flexible girl will win. She will get the prize. A short musical fragment of the evening follows again, when the guys can dance. Then the Leader appears again in the center of the site.
Leading.
Although you and I, friends, came to an evening of dancing, it is impossible to dance all the time. Sometimes you need to take a breath. Let's take a little break from dancing and play a game. During this game, in which absolutely everyone can participate. you will need to quickly, quickly break into different groups based on some characteristic or condition. I will name these signs and conditions. Well, for example, I say: “Divide into smokers and non-smokers.” You need to complete the task very quickly. Those who mixed up the group perform Additional tasks, which, again, I give. By the way, I hope there are no smokers among you yet... So, all the participants walk freely around the site, taking a break from music, dancing, having a casual conversation... And suddenly they break up... in pairs!!! (Everyone is trying to quickly find a partner. Those who don’t have time, do some task related to dancing. We’ll talk about the tasks below.) So, we continue to walk, walk, talk, relax. I complicate the task... And we break into groups... according to hair color!!!
Next, the Leader can give the task to split into groups with an even and then an odd number of people, into triplets of the same gender, form groups according to height, according to the color of clothing (who is wearing more red - in one group, who is wearing more white - in another, and to whom neither one nor the other - in the third). You can give more complex tasks. Quickly break into two groups based on gender. Then the girls will split into two groups: those in trousers and those in skirts. The boys will be divided into groups based on “jeans”: some are wearing jeans and some are wearing trousers. The girls in pants are then split into those with long hair and those with short hair. Girls in skirts are divided into groups according to the length of their skirts (short - long). Boys in jeans are divided into groups according to the color of their jeans (dark - light). Boys in trousers are divided into groups according to the color of their shirts.
Now about the penalty tasks for those who failed the main task and mixed up the group. If there are a lot of “penalties”, it is best to select them into a separate group and force them, for example, to dance a lambada or Russian folk dance. If there are only a few penalty offenders, then it is better for them to be given individual tasks related to music and dancing. Ask what dances the “penalty officer” knows. Ask about Cuban dances, Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian, Georgian, Polish. Surely the guys will name rumba, gypsy, flamenco, hopak, lezginka, and polka, because these are very famous dances. In addition, the “penalties” must be asked to dance something. For example, Lezginka or Spanish dance. Ask them to come up with the most original dance movement.
After the game, the dance program continues again. This time it can be interrupted by competitions that identify “the best”. For example, the Host, without stopping the music, announces: “And now, within three minutes, I am announcing a competition for the fastest dancer!” This is followed by competitions for the most flexible dance, the most fiery dance, the best dance technique, the most resourceful dancer, the most inventive dancer, the most original dance movement. Naturally, the choice of the best dancing couple of the evening stands out. This competition is especially loved among young people. Of course, the “most” are awarded small souvenirs or prizes.
A few more tips. Remember that on a dance night people come to dance. So try not to get too involved in non-dancing games, as most people will just stand on the sidelines and watch a small group of participants. Try to ensure that competitions are somehow related to dancing, and that as many people as possible participate in them.
We hope our tips will help you organize a dance evening and turn a banal disco into an exciting and relaxing holiday.
