Entertainment that can diversify family or friendly gatherings is very diverse and numerous. Some are the product of popular ingenuity, while others are commercial products of the work of engineers. There are games that require additional accessories, and there are those that require only the desire to participate.

I'm famous

This entertainment has a huge number of names: “Who am I?”, “Guess the hero”, “I am a celebrity” (I’m famous), “Sticker”. It is used in different countries, and it experienced a second birth in Russia after the release of the film "Inglourious Bastards". Yes, it was known in Soviet times, although it did not enjoy such popular love.

"Who am I?" perfect for gatherings of adults capable of thinking people, although schoolchildren also play it - the only difference is in the characters.

1. The bottom line is that each player writes the name of a literary character or famous person on a piece of paper and sticks it on the neighbor's forehead. The second option: all pieces of paper with the names of the characters are shuffled in a bag, each participant takes out a “role” without looking and sticks it to himself.
2. The first guesser is determined by the method of random selection (any convenient one - matches, stone-scissors, bones), and the rest - in a circle.
3. To each player in turn, the guesser asks questions to which only unambiguous answers are possible (“Am I a man?”, “Am I a celebrity?”, “Do I have a mustache?”, etc.), until he receives a negative answer. After that, the move goes to the next one.

They play as long as there is someone and someone to guess.

In addition to the folk version of "Who am I?" today there are also commercial versions of the game - for example, a product of the Friday TV channel released for free sale. Its difference from the original is that after receiving a negative answer to the question, the move does not pass to the next player. The guesser asks questions and gets answers until the sand in the hourglass runs out.

Both options allow the answer "I don't know".

In this case, other participants can intervene in the dialogue between the guessing player and the responder in turn, if they know the answer.

Before the start of the game, it is worth arming yourself with pieces of paper and pens to write down the “signs” of their heroes. This game is used by some teachers in seminars on humanities or at trainings for stress-free determination of the level of preparation of students and the development of a sequence of thinking.

"Diplomat"

1. The leader pronounces the alphabet to himself. The other player commands "Stop". This is how the letter is determined, on which the word will be guessed for all players.
2. After the leader has come up with a word, he writes it on a piece of paper and hides it from other participants.
3. Each player, in order of priority, asks the facilitator questions that require “Yes” or “No” answers. If the participant has guessed which word is guessed, then in his turn he can pronounce it.
4. The one who guesses becomes the leader. The player who answered incorrectly either leaves, or receives a penalty point, or skips a move - it all depends on the version of the game.

If no one can guess the word and it is unanimously decided to give up, then the host does not change, but starts the second round.

The most bar game

"Jenga" means "to build" in Swahili. This game, which many know as "The Tower", was invented by the British Leslie Scott in the seventies. Despite the apparent simplicity of the task, building a tower of blocks and not dropping it is a task that requires spatial thinking, composure and dexterity.

1. The base number of tower floors at the very beginning is 18, but may vary according to the manufacturer's intention.
2. With two fingers of one hand, by pressing and tapping, you need to remove the bar from the tower and put it on the top floor.
3. It is impossible to pull out the bars from the two upper floors, just as it is not allowed to support the tower with the second hand when pulling out the segment.
4. The more moves played and the higher the tower gets, the less stable it is. This is where the fun begins, because only 10 seconds are given per move.
5. The one who destroys the tower loses. He will build a new one, and the first move belongs to him. The complexity of the game depends on the first move, so experienced players think it over carefully.

You can play Jenga with children, with adults, in a sober and drunk company.

In a number of countries, "Jenga" is a peculiar way of betting: whoever loses pays for the drink, so the players can most often be found in bars.

Children's games for adults

Those who want to think can be occupied with games with matches, when one or two matches need to be swapped in a figure so that the fish swims in the opposite direction, the glass turns upside down, and the cow turns its head.

It is possible to "solve" mathematical examples, in which the principle of moving one segment or a different approach is laid down. For example, 16 matches are taken and 2 squares are made one inside the other (12 and 4 matches). How to move 4 matches so that there are 3 squares? One option is to move two matches from opposite ends of the outer square inward.

Or how to turn the inequality 11+1=10 (in Roman numerals) into equality without touching the matches and without exerting any influence on them? That's right: go around the table on the other side so that the example looks like 10 = 1+9.

In words with words

The words of the native language are an inexhaustible storehouse of entertainment for any company.

The most famous game involving words is Scrabble, where points are awarded for each letter, and the one who has compiled the longest, most complex and “valuable” word wins.

"Word Fight" table game of 120 cards (white and black). The host plays in white (adjectives are written on them), and the rest play in black (nouns).

1. There is a popular expression: "To defeat with a word." It is this task that underlies this ridiculous bloodless battle.
2. The host draws one white card for himself, and gives the other players three black cards each.
3. To the adjective of the leader, each participant must choose the most suitable noun from those given to him and give an explanation for the resulting phrase.
4. The winner of the round is determined by voting and takes a white card. All other cards are returned to the deck and shuffled.

The player who collects four white cards wins.

There is another competition of the same name, similar to "Erudite" and " Sea battle» at the same time, leading to a field of 36 cells. Word fight No. 2 is played by 4-6 participants.

1. Everyone names a letter, and the rest write it down in one of the 36 cells on their field.
2. The letters are called by the players until all the cells of all participants are filled. Changes to the table are not allowed. It is also impossible to show your work records to other players - each participant should have a table that is as unique as possible.
3. In the table, you need to find the resulting words (vertically, horizontally, diagonally, etc.).

The winner is the one who made the most a large number of words.

You should not think that table games are an indicator of a failed celebration. It's not like that at all. Many table and table entertainment help to relax after labor day or weeks, or loosen up when a heavy pause hung at the table. With their help, you can introduce strangers to each other guests, discuss the latest news and even resolve business issues.

When the table is going good company, the party promises to be boring!

But then the guests drank and ate ... talked over the latest news from the life of their loved ones and the country as a whole ... danced ... and some prepared to be bored ... But it wasn’t there!

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

They are very different:

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

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

NOTE! They can be performed in different options, change the rules, add items, increase or decrease the number of participants - in a word, be creative in compiling a program of fun and funny drinking competitions for adult company sitting at the table.

We start with a simple one - what is at hand (literally and figuratively!)

"The Alphabet Beside Us"

The facilitator calls any letter of the alphabet, except four Y-Y-L-b(you can also agree on the exclusion of the letter Y).

Players in a circle call objects-products-things that begin with this letter, which are directly next to them and which can be reached or touched.

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

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

And here is another game with letters.

"Burime in order"

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

The phrase should begin first with the letter A, the next with B, then C, and so on. It is desirable that funny phrases be invented, such as:

“It’s great that we are here today!”
- It used to be...
- That's …
- Lord...

Attention! The sequence of letters in the alphabet and the meaning of the invented sentences are also important here. It is clear that some letters (b-b-s) are skipped.

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

The alphabet was - it's up to the verses!

"What's in the package, tell me!"

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

A few psychics are given one item, which is packaged in an opaque cloth-box-bag. They should quietly consider what they got and compose a poem about the subject. Guests listen and guess.

Important! You can’t name what is hidden, you can only describe the purpose in verse, appearance…

The writer of the longest and most original work wins.

Everyone loves stories!

"Modern fairy tale"

Inventory: pieces of paper, pens.

The players are divided into two teams. Usually they are divided according to the principle “we sit next to each other”. Each chooses for himself (option - the driver appoints) a profession. For example, cooks and truckers.

After 5-7 minutes of preparation, the teams must voice any fairy tale they choose (option - appointed by the driver) on modern way using professional vocabulary and terminology.

For example, the tale of a brave cook begins with the words: “Once upon a time my grandmother had a piece of ham for two and a half kilos ...” We advise the compiler of the program to come up with starting phrases in advance for different professions participants.

Everyone has fun! Prize for the winning team: sweets, a bottle of champagne for everyone ...

Try it too! Teams do not play, but individual participants. Then more time is given for preparation, and the winner easier for guests will highlight.

Beloved by everyone since childhood "Spoiled Phone"

Here, the more people, the better.

The driver (or the first person sitting) thinks of a word (phrase), writes it down on a piece of paper (for the purity of the experiment!))) And passes it along the chain, whispering in each other's ears.

Everyone remembers to whisper quietly and as close as possible to what they heard. The latter speaks the word aloud.

The funny begins at the moment when, with a mismatch between “input-output”, “showdowns” begin - at what stage, for whom, what went wrong.

Robot YES-NO

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

The game continues until the animal is guessed, and the host shows the card with the correct answer.

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

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

Another variant of the game is frivolous. You can guess items from a men's or women's wardrobe, underwear, or for the most daring - from an assortment of adult stores.

paper contests

And here's another game where the funniest thing is also a mismatch.

chipmunk speaker

Props:

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

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

The “orator” puts nuts (orange slices, a piece of bread) in his cheeks so that it is difficult to speak. He is given a text (poetry or prose), which needs to be pronounced as clearly as possible (as far as the contents of the “cheek pouches” allow). The "stenographer" is trying to write down, as he understood, what he heard. Then compared with the "source".

The couple whose "transcript" is the most correct wins.

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

"Explain in 30 Seconds"

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

We play like this:

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

For example, the word “cart” is a cart drawn by horses, “frying pan” is a pancake baker.

After the first word is guessed, you can get a sheet with another.

Everything is given 30 seconds. You can agree on a minute - depending on the state of the company)))

How many words the team guesses, so many points it will receive.

Then the turn passes to another pair of players.

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

The team that guessed the most words wins.

Fun table contests with answers

Prepare: a box with pieces of paper in it, on which various questions are written.

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

We play like this:

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

Questions might be:

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

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

The winner is the one whose story will please the most guests.

Are you asking? I answer!

Let's cook:

• question cards,
• answer cards,
• 2 boxes.

We play like this.

Questions are in one box, answers are in the other.

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

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

He takes, without looking into the box, a piece of paper with an answer and also reads it out.

Quite funny sometimes it turns out coincidence question-answer)))

Two truths and a lie

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

Each player must say three statements or facts about themselves. Two true, one false. Listeners vote to decide which one is false. If they guessed correctly, the player (liar) wins nothing. If you don't guess right, you get a small prize.

Option - everyone writes down their statements on sheets of paper, marking false ones, give them to the host (party host), and he reads them out in turn.

One more?

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

Find the crocodile

This game can be played in the process of other games, as an additional one. It, in fact, lasts the whole evening, but at the very beginning it is necessary to tell the guests its rules.

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

As soon as the clothespin has found a new owner, the presenter says “The crocodile has escaped! Who did he go to?" and aloud starts counting from 10 to one. The guests are looking to see if they were the target of a prank.

If within 10 seconds the “victim” finds a lurking “crocodile hiding in a bag or clinging to a collar” – the “hunter” drinks a penalty glass. If it does not find it, the “victim” must drink.

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

Drinking alphabet chain

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

The game goes around. The first player says the first and last name of the celebrity. The next one must also name a celebrity whose name begins with the first letter of the last name of the previous one.

To make it clearer, see an example:

The first player chooses Cameron Diaz. The second Dmitry Kharatyan. Third Hugh Grant. Fourth George Vitsin. Etc.

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

The longer the game lasts, the more difficult it is to pick up new names (you can’t repeat yourself), the fun and the company are rapidly gaining degrees.

Insert your five cents

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

Phrases can be:

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

If the accuser is mistaken, then he drinks a “penalty glass”. If you guessed right, then a penalty is assigned to the one who was caught using the phrase from the sheet.

Guess the brand

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

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

Find your soul mate

If there are about half of the women and men in the company, then you can play this game. Although, it is suitable, with some degree of conventionality, in other cases.

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

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

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

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

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

Option: in the first circle they are looking for a half of a woman, in the second a man.

Do you have..?

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

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

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

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

So, do you have with you..?

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

The list of things can be arbitrarily supplemented.

Play, have fun with the guests at the festive table!

Do not forget that each competition can be creatively redesigned for your company.

Let your friends remember this day not only with the most delicious dishes, but also with the most fun and cool contests.

Eat! Drink! And don't be bored!

We always look forward to the New Year with great impatience, because this is a favorite holiday for both adults and children. Each family carefully prepares for it: they develop a menu, plan guests, buy outfits, think over the course of the event so that it does not turn into a simple overeating. New Year's table games for adults are the best option for those who have invited guests and want to have fun. If you yourself are embarrassed to act as a leader, it can also be determined at the table. Therefore, boldly and without hesitation, we appoint the most active of the guests as the person in charge of adult games. Well, preparing them will not be any problem.

New Year's games for a small company

table funny contests on the New Year's celebration it’s easy to find, the main thing is to be able to adapt them to your company. If it is small, then entertainment should be selected accordingly.

drove

You will need radio-controlled cars, two of them. Two contestants prepare cars and a “track” to any point in the room, put a shot of vodka on their cars. Then, gently, without splashing, they try to roll it to their destination, where they can drink it. The game can be continued by bringing also a snack. You can also make it in the form of a relay race, for this you will have to split into teams, the first one must bring it to the point and back, pass the baton to another neighbor, the last player drinks a glass or what is left in it.

Cheerful artist

The host thinks something to the first player, he gets into a pose that characterizes what they have thought of without voicing it. For example: a person screwing a lamp. In turn, each participant must adapt to the previous one so that a picture emerges. The latter stands up like an artist with a brush and an easel for painting. He is also trying to tell what exactly he “depicted”. Then, everyone talks about their posture.

"I never" (or "I never")

This is a joke confession. Each of the guests invited to the corporate party begins to confess with the phrase: "I never ...". For example: "I never drank tequila." But the answers should go up. That is, those who have already confessed to trifles should continue to talk about something deeper. Table confessions can be very funny, the main thing is not to get carried away, otherwise you can give out the most secret secrets.

Board games for a large fun company of adults

If a large party has gathered to celebrate the New Year, it is best to hold group, team.

let's drink

The company is divided into two groups and stands in a row opposite each other. Each in the hands of disposable cup with wine (it is better not to take champagne and strong drinks, as you can choke). Place the glasses in everyone's right hand. On command, they must drink their neighbor in turn: first, the last person drinks the penultimate one, the next one, and so on. As soon as the first has received his dose, he runs to the last and treats him. Whoever finishes first will be the winner.

"Hostess"

A merry New Year's holiday is sure to have a lot of decorations. The company is divided into two halves, they are given a box of the same size. Also, each team receives a certain number of different things: Christmas decorations, candy wrappers, sweets, napkins, souvenirs, etc. It is necessary for a while and carefully put everything in the boxes, so that they close evenly without bulges. After a certain amount of alcohol, this is not so easy to do.

Which team will put things neater and faster, that one will be the winner. Quality should not suffer, if so, a vote should be organized from people not participating in the competition.

"Tumbleweed"

Guests at the New Year's table are divided equally and sit on chairs opposite each other. An apple is placed on the first player's lap, they must roll the apple over the lap from the first player to the last player without hands. If the fruit falls, the group has lost, but they can redeem themselves by picking it up without hands and returning it to the very beginning.

"Drinkers"

This will be a relay. We install two stools, on the stools there are plastic glasses with an alcoholic drink. There should be as many as there are players. We divide the guests in half, it is possible by gender, and put one after the other, in front of each stool at some distance from it. Everyone's hands are behind their backs. Next to them we place a trash can. One by one, they run up to the chair, drink any of the glasses without hands, then run back, throwing the empty container into the trash and return to the tail of the queue. Only then can the next person run.

Games at the table for the New Year's corporate party

The entertainment program can also be of the table type. Such a scenario is selected for a more shy group of people.

merry singers

For this game, you should prepare cards in advance with any words related to the holiday, alcohol, New Year's heroes, etc. For example: Christmas tree, Snow Maiden, snow, vodka, wine, sparks, candles, frost, Santa Claus, gifts. Then a presenter is selected who will appoint a player, pull out a card and voice the word itself. The selected person must sing a verse or chorus featuring that word in the song. No more than 10 seconds are given for reflection. This game can also be played by splitting into teams, the result will be a greater number of songs performed.

Rhyme

"Walk on your hands";
"stand on your hands";
“share the news”;
"dance with guests";
"sing in front of guests";

“Say compliments to everyone out loud”;
"shout that you are a burdock";
“kiss of two at once”;
"crawl between the legs of two";
"tell your desires out loud";
"recognize two with closed eyes";

"make everyone laugh";
"hug everyone";
"get everyone drunk";
"feed everyone."

Cool answers can be invented indefinitely, the main thing is that the rhyme is observed.

Tell me about the owner(s)

Everything is very simple here. Prepare questions in advance for guests, such as:

If it's a pair, then:

• Where did these people meet?
• How many years have they lived together?
• "Favorite vacation spot"

wishes

The first participant is given a pen and a piece of paper. He writes briefly his great desire: "I want that ...". The rest enter only adjectives like: let it be fluffy, it should be iron, or just smelly, meaningless, and so on.

Quite adult, funny and cool entertainment

Adult games at the New Year's table are not suitable for every company - this should be taken into account. But after a certain amount of time, you can try to offer them something from the repertoire below and further navigate the situation. Answers can be both serious and funny.

Christmas tree

For the competition you need to stock up Christmas decorations(preferably those that do not fight) and clothespins. First, attach all the toys by strings to clothespins. Several couples of the opposite sex are called, the men are blindfolded, for a certain period of time they must hook as many toys as possible on women's clothing. The game can be “diluted” by changing pairs and removing clothespins from other women. You can also change their roles - women will dress up men. And do not forget to evaluate each Christmas tree, because the one who has the most elegant one will win, and only then, to the stormy applause of the company, remove the toys.

Fairy tale

Any short fairy tale is taken in, All participants of the New Year's table become in a circle, leaving the center free. An author is appointed who reads a fairy tale, for example, "The Three Little Pigs", it is not very short, but can easily be reduced to a page. Then everyone, in a circle, chooses a role for himself. And not only animated heroes, but also natural phenomenon or items. Tree, grass, even the phrase "they lived - were" can be beaten.

The story begins: Once upon a time - there were (went or went "lived - were") three piglets (piglets went). The sun was shining in the sky (the sky is shining, holding the sun in its arms). The piglets lay on the grass (there was “grass”, or rather three grasses, piglets fell on it), etc. If there are few people, the released heroes in the form of grass can take on the following roles to continue the game.

You can play not only a fairy tale, but also a song or a poem, or you can come up with your own funny stories.

sweet tooth

Several couples of the opposite sex are selected for the game. Men are blindfolded, women are placed on pre-prepared tables or chairs (sports mats). Napkins are placed over their body, on which chocolates without wrappers are left. Then a man is brought up to them, and he must find all the sweets without hands (respectively, without eyes). It is not necessary to eat them. To avoid embarrassment, it is best to call spouses or a real couple. But adults, especially at the New Year's table, with a good sense of humor, which is seasoned with a glass of champagne, usually have no problems.

Eat a banana

Several pairs are called. Men sit on chairs, pinch a banana between their knees, women approach their couples and, hiding their hands behind their backs, must peel and eat it. Adults are given a certain amount of time for the procedure. Cucumbers can also be used instead of bananas.

Finally

Christmas games for cheerful company should be prepared in advance. Especially if there will be a lot of guests and among them there will be unfamiliar people about whom you need to learn as much as possible. Entertainment competitions at the New Year's table for adults are diluted with dancing or singing karaoke for a change.

Table games 2020 can be held both for interest and for incentive prizes. If you choose team adult games, then the counting of votes is done for each group. If the participants compete alone, encourage them with chips, and then according to the count of chips, the prize goes to the winner. The rest at the New Year's table for adults will be content with comforting gifts.

The host brings a bag into the hall, and in it are tokens with various letters. The guests sitting at the table take turns taking out a “letter” from the bag and, without hesitation, name any word that begins with this letter. The effect of surprise and the high rate of responses give a comical result. Moreover, at the end of the competition, the presenter says: “Now we have found out who is thinking about what now!”

Each number is unique

Each of the guests takes turns pulling out his fant from the hat, which contains any number from 1 to 15, for example. As soon as all the guests have learned their numbers, each participant in turn calls this “own” number and begins to list everything that exists and does not exist in the world associated with this number, for example, if the guest pulled out the number 1, he can list: the saying “One in the field not a warrior"; catchphrase "One to One"; name any player who plays under number 1; name the first element in the periodic table - hydrogen; sing a song with the number 1 “Once a year the gardens bloom” and so on, if, for example, the guest came across the number 7, he can also remember some athlete number 7; remember that there are 7 wonders of the world in the world; catchphrase "In the 7th heaven with happiness"; the saying "Seven do not wait for one" and so on. The main thing is to turn on your ingenuity and rummage through your memory, and then you can find your own unique “stories” for all the numbers: movies, songs, sayings, numbers of players and elements, catchphrases, and so on. Which of the guests will be able to name more facts about his figure, he will win.

A lot of words

Each of the guests in turn pulls out his phantom from the hat, in which any letter of the alphabet is indicated.

At the end of the game, the title of the winner and the prize will be taken by the participant who can name the most words starting with “his” letter.

Cinema on the table

So, each in turn pulls out his phantom, which indicates the name of the hero (perhaps both from a real story and a fictional one). The guests do not say anything to anyone about the name of their hero, but only for a while they reincarnate in the role of a fantasy, for example, Jack Sparrow, Julius Caesar, Stalin, Terminator and so on. Using the phrases and mannerisms of celebrities, guests should show the characters as believable as possible. Thus, a very interesting communication at the table will turn out, and which of the guests will be able to guess the most of all the characters among the guests, he will also receive a prize.

Ten minutes of reincarnation

The host announces that 10 minutes of reincarnations will now begin. Each guest in turn pulls out a phantom from a bag in which some kind of hero or status of a person is indicated, for example, a hussar, a drunken watchman, a cheerful clown, Ivan the Terrible, and so on. Guests get acquainted with their new role and begin to communicate, have fun in the appropriate style. Well, when so many diverse and so interesting heroes will gather at one table. And prizes are awarded to the most cheerful guests, who will be able to show themselves best of all.

In front of the participants are plates with the same contents, for example, mashed potatoes or sour cream, and each participant has two spoons in his hands: one in his left hand, the other in his right. On the “start” command, the participants begin to feed their neighbors, simultaneously working with both right and left hands. Which of the participants will feed the contents of their plate to their neighbors faster, he will win. The prize will also go to the most patient and diligent "neighbor" who may have to eat from the hands of two participants at once.

We celebrate birthdays year after year. And the script can be monotonous if it revolves only around the table and alcohol. Sad, right? Real hospitality is when they take care not only of the stomach, but also of the soul.

The generous table is complemented by a joyful atmosphere that is remembered long after. That is why people from generation to generation come up with cool table contests designed to cheer up the gathered company and train the ingenuity of the guests!

Cool table contests for a fun company "Spy passions"

Many competitions are connected with solving mysteries in conditions of lack of information. A person of any age loves riddles, especially if a gift awaits the winner!

Tentacle forks

The essence of the game is simple: to recognize the object blindly. The guest's eyes are blindfolded, and you can't touch the object with your hands! The player is armed with only two forks. In 2 minutes, he must probe and guess as many things as possible.

The organizer should pick up ordinary household items in advance, such as a comb, toothbrush, pencil, candy, orange, etc. To facilitate the task, the player can ask questions like: “Is this edible?”, “Is this a hygiene item?”, “Is it made of wood?” ? and others that can help in solving.

It is allowed to answer "Yes" and "No", no more. The winner is the one who guessed more and more accurately. Laughter to tears is guaranteed!

Who am I?

A piece of paper with an inscription is glued to the forehead of each participant with the help of adhesive tape. It can be any noun: a living being or an object, but for convenience, you can limit yourself to famous characters from cartoons and movies, famous personalities. People sitting in a circle see all the inscriptions except their own.

Each player in turn asks a leading question (“Am I an actor?”, “Am I a woman?”), Which can only be answered with “Yes” or “No”. The first person to guess their character (or another word) wins. The one who guesses incorrectly is out of the game or receives a comic punishment.

mysterious ball

For the game, prepare a small gift, foil and short riddles. The latter are written on paper.
The gift is wrapped in the first layer of foil, a leaf with a riddle is glued to it with tape.

The procedure is repeated several times, at least 6-7. More complex riddles should be placed closer to the center, and simple ones on top. Someone read the inscription. The first person to guess the riddle has the right to remove the foil layer and read the next one. The process is repeated.

The gift is received by the one who guessed the most difficult riddle and removed the last layer of foil.

Game "Killer"

The number of participants is unlimited. For the draw, you will need coins and an opaque bag. Coins must be the same, and only one is labeled (of a different color or with some kind of sign).

All players take out a coin without showing it to others. That participant. who caught the marked coin is considered the "murderer".

Participants try to look into each other's eyes in search of the "killer". Ordinary players cannot independently remove other participants from the game. The "killer" randomly "kills" - blinks, meeting the victim's gaze, trying to ensure that his actions are not noticed by other players. The killed participant immediately declares loudly, laying his coin on the table:
-Killed!
And out of the game.
The participant who suspects the "murderer" says (pointing to him):
— I suspect.
But only two suspects together can catch the "murderer". Until the second suspect shows up, the "killer" has time to take the first suspect out of the game. The goal of the participant with the marked coin is to have time to “kill” all the participants before he is exposed.

Guess the Prize

The game is great for a birthday - you can take the name of the hero of the occasion as a basis. It is good if it is long and more or less corresponds to the number of guests. For example, the name Anton - 5 letters.

In the treasured bag are hidden 5 gifts for each letter. A - orange, H - scissors, T - plate, O - postcard, H - handkerchief. If the prizes are intricate, small hints can be given to guests. Whoever guesses the item first gets it.

Avral!

A simple game that does not require props, causing delight in any company.

Funny contests for the birthday of "Nonsense"

A whole series of games is based on a random coincidence of words, revealing "all the ins and outs" of the participants! Unexpected "truth" not only increases the level of endorphins, but sometimes reveals the secrets of the subconscious...

Question answer

The meaning of the fun is clear from the name - with the clarification that both are written on cards and folded into two piles with the text down.

The first player takes out a question and chooses the addressee, and the last one draws the “answer” card and reads it out loud. And then the procedure is repeated.

You will find that your friend hides sandwiches in the most unthinkable places, and best friend howling at the moon at night, sitting on the roof ...

History

In front of the players are sheets of paper with the letters of the alphabet. Someone chooses one of them, and all participants must come up with one word for that letter, but in such a way that the result is a funny story.

For example, with the letter “D”: “Dmitry dominated the day for a long time, but he reached demonic disorientation.” The brighter the fantasy works, the more fun the game is!

Table lexical game "Say the Same Thing"

FROM in English The name of the game can be translated as "Say the same as me".

It can take place in the presence of at least two people.
Its essence is as follows: at the expense of one-two-three players pronounce any random word.

The task of the participants is to ensure that through stepwise associations come to common denominator(word). On the next count, the players must say the next word that relates to and combines the previous ones.

The game continues until, using the associative method, the participants manage to “read” each other’s thoughts and pronounce the same word aloud.

Let's say there are two players. At the first stage, one of them voiced the word "fireworks", the second - "day off". Theoretically, in order to achieve the desired match, they may need only a couple of moves: for example, if on the second count of one, two or three participants say the words “holiday” and “fun”, and then, suppose, “food” and “birthday”, then, it is likely that they can reach an understanding as early as the fourth word. Let's say it will be the common word "cake".

However, if initially words are heard that are far from each other in meaning, or in the gameplay the participants will be brought into the "lexical jungle", then the path along which the action can develop becomes completely unpredictable and quite fun.

Fairy tale with missing words

The host writes a fable in advance, the characters of which are participants in the holiday. Only in the fairy tale there are not enough words that the players are invited to come up with. Each in turn calls a noun, adjective or verb - depending on what is required in the text.

Revelry of fantasy and the most ridiculous and ridiculous epithets are welcome! When all the gaps are filled, the universal creation is read aloud.

Noun and adjective

Here the same principle as in the previous competition. The last participant in the row comes up with a word, mentioning only whether it is masculine or feminine (for example, “cutlet”). Then the guests take turns calling adjectives-epithets, and the last one voices the hidden word.

The result is something like "glassy, ​​charming, sexy, mysterious, grouchy cutlet." The game is played quickly. The guests switch roles so that each comes up with a noun.

"In my pants..."

The meaning of the game until the last must remain a mystery. Participants sit in a circle, and everyone calls the neighbor on the left the name of a movie, series or cartoon. The player remembers, but the next in line says a different name, and so on until the end. After that, the facilitator asks everyone to say "In my pants ..." and add the name of the movie heard from a neighbor.

Imagine that someone has the "Lion King" or "Resident Evil" hiding in the designated place!

Cool contests for a fun company at the table "Reveal your talents!"

There are games that reveal intelligence, artistry and creativity. Who is the most talented? Who will impress the guests the most and make them laugh to tears? The answers to these questions can be given by the competitions presented below.

Dancing sitting

The contestants sit down in the center of the hall on stools and start dancing to the groovy music without getting up.

Tamada leads the process and names the parts of the body that should dance at a certain moment: “first we dance with lips and eyes, then with eyebrows, then with hands”, etc.

The audience chooses the best chair dancer.

Unsmiled princesses

Guests are divided into 2 teams. The first takes the most sour, dull or serious look, and the members of the second group must take turns or all together to cheer the “unsmean”. Anyone who smiles last joins the other team.

If for a certain period of time all the "sour faces" have fun, their opponents win. If not, the "unsmiled" win.

Sculptor

To complete the task, you need imagination and a pack of plasticine. One of the guests calls the letter of the alphabet, and the contestants must fashion an object for this letter.

The speed of modeling and the similarity with the original are evaluated. Players get 2 prizes for the "beauty of the masterpiece" and the speed of production!

Mouth full of worries

A fairly well-known game for which you need to stock up on small caramels or toffees. The contestants put a candy in their mouth and say: “Happy birthday!”. Then another toffee is taken and the process is repeated. The winner is the one who pronounces the phrase more expressively with the largest number of sweets in his mouth.

Skyscraper

The game is designed for people with strong nerves. It is better to play it when the guests have already drunk a little, but their movements are still quite accurate.

The “tower” is built from domino plates: they are placed with the letter “P”, and then the second, third “floor” grows, and so on. Each player adds one plate. The one who accidentally destroyed the structure drinks a penal portion of alcohol.

Speedy jigsaw puzzles

Small puzzles for 54 parts are quite affordable, you can take more complex ones. Participants are divided into 2 teams and recklessly collect a picture for speed. Puzzles that are too big can tire guests.

Crocodile

A popular game familiar to everyone and loved since childhood, suitable for different ages, also called "Pantomime", "Cow", etc. You can play in a team or one by one. In the first case, the host selects 1 person from each group and makes them a word. For starters, something simple, like the names of animals or ordinary objects. Then there can be more complex concepts like "dream", "love", "investment", "Paris", "America" ​​... Each participant must explain to his comrades what it is without making a sound. For each word guessed, the team gets a point.

Supertoast

At any holiday, especially at a birthday, congratulations and toasts are important.
But not everyone loves or knows how to pronounce them, and solemn speeches come down to banal wishes for "health and happiness."
To make this process joyful and extraordinary, toasts should be made on certain conditions! For example:

• congratulations should be related to food (“let there be life in chocolate!”);
• give a speech for the birthday boy in a thematic style (for example, as a “fraternity” with thieves words, in the style of “Alice in Wonderland” or Tolkien's works - depending on the company that gathered);
• congratulations are associated with animals (“beautiful as a butterfly”);
• compose a rhymed congratulation on the go;
• say a toast in a foreign language;
• congratulate the hero of the occasion, using the ENTIRE list of words taken “from the ceiling” (sun, rainbow, newspaper, slippers, president ...).

The list of tasks can be increased. They are written on leaves and distributed to guests.

Magic story

The guests are divided into 2 equal teams, each participant needs to write words on the leaves. The latter should be related to a certain topic, for example, one group writes what comes to mind in connection with the concept of "Birthday". Another comes up with associations to the birthday man himself, his character traits or life events.

Teams can be created "by gender", so that men write their thoughts about women ("beauty", "tenderness", etc.), and vice versa ("strength", "knight" ...). Words can be taken randomly, but it's not that interesting.

Then the teams exchange their notes, the pieces of paper are turned upside down with the clean side up. Players take turns taking out leaves and coming up with a sentence with the specified word. The team should have a story that is interconnected in meaning, then the turn goes to the rivals.

"Not at ease"

As they say, look at your neighbor's plate - you will always have time to look into yours. The competition is for food. The leader calls any letter of the alphabet, and the participants must be the fastest to name the corresponding product in their plate.

It is forbidden to use e, and, b, b, s. The first person to guess becomes the new host. If no one can name a word starting with the specified letter, he receives a prize.

A good holiday requires advance preparation. You have to cook a bunch of dishes - what else is fun? you might ask. But it is cool table contests that will make the atmosphere fun, and the company at the table will not be bored.

You can involve guests in the preparation process: ask them to bring props (do not say why!) or crafts that will decorate the holiday.

Put your whole soul into the organization of the holiday, and any celebration will become truly magical!
