Congratulations: 46 in verse (12 short)

We offer you a series of games for adults that can be used on any holiday. Games for adults are funny, fun and interesting.

Operatives

This game is good to play in pairs, consisting of gentlemen and ladies. Pieces of ribbons are prepared in advance (for each pair - their own color). Ribbons are laid out in pockets and other parts of a man’s clothing (one in each), but so that a piece of ribbon sticks out. The task of the lady is to get the ribbon without the help of her hands and pass it to her partner, who, in turn, must tie all the ribbons into one long one.

The game runs on time. On a signal, the players stop.

The pair that ties the longest ribbon wins.

Bows

The game involves 2 ladies and 1 gentleman. The ladies are given ribbons and are blindfolded. At the signal of the leader, the first lady begins to tie bows on the man's clothes. Then the second lady comes into play, who must untie all the ribbons.

At this time, the audience can help her by suggesting the places where the bows are tied.

Then the ladies switch roles. The one who untied the most bows wins.

Write a story with three words

A leader is chosen who calls three words. The rest of the players can be divided into teams, for example, women's and men's. Each team is required to make several sentences in a certain time, each of which must include the given three words. The team that makes up the most sentences connected to each other in a story wins.

For example, the words "soldier", "visit", "service" are given. Suggestion: “The soldier was released from service on a leave of absence”, etc.

In words, you can change cases, use additional words, etc.

Advice. You can write down the most interesting and funny sentences so that later you have something to remember and have fun again!

Burime

The host sets words that rhyme with each other, for example: ticket - buffet, summer - cutlet, business - boldly, etc. Then the theme of the future poem is determined. Each player must write two lines of poetry from given words, then he reads his work.

It is very interesting if after the game you get a new poem, funny and funny.

The game "Burime" can also take place in a simplified form, for example, the first player calls any word, and the next one picks up a rhyme for it, and so on. Further along the chain.

For example: frost is a steam locomotive, a nose is rooted, an icicle is a whistle.

Players can also take turns making rhyming phrases that would make a funny poem, not necessarily with meaning, but something like a tall tale.

For example:

“I sat quietly, chewed bread

And I didn't bother anyone.

Here flew seven forty

And they took my piece.

I don't want to chew anymore.

Now I'll take it and scream."

Silly postman

The host calls any word, and each player must make a telegram, the first word in which begins with the first letter from the given one, the second word - with the second letter from the given one, etc. For example, the word "APPLE"; telegram text: “I Will Fly Around the Cafe. Olga". Then the presenter, who is also a postman, collects telegrams and reads them out. For the funniest telegram, the writer receives a prize.

Docking

Players, divided into 2 teams, stand in two lines facing each other. Hands are pulled back. At the signal of the leader, the first player puts the matchbox on his nose and passes it to the next player without the help of his hands. If at the same time the box falls, then the one from whose nose it fell must return it to its place and continue the game.

The team that manages to avoid falling wins.

Dodger

Players are paired up. One of the pair holds the matchbox with both hands in front of him at waist level, and then releases it from his hands. The second player must catch the box on the fly with one hand from above. Once the boxes are caught, the players switch roles. Who managed to complete the task, he won.

knees

Everyone who wants to play sits in a circle, each player puts his hand on the neighbor's knee. The leader stands in a circle and any rhythm is touched by claps. At the signal of the leader, the participants begin to beat the given rhythm on the neighbor's knee. The one who made a mistake removes his hand, and the rhythm is set again. The game continues until 2 people remain in the circle.

The winner is the one who does not lose the rhythm.

ADVICE TO ORGANIZERS OF COMPETITIONS AND GAMES

❧ Without exception, all guests are very fond of participating in various funny dramatizations. come up with funny scenes, make your guests not only move, but also fantasize.

❧ Do not arrange playful entertainment at the beginning of the evening, remember that people need to get used to each other, adapt, loosen up. Therefore, before entertainment program must pass at least 3-4 toasts

❧ Try to organize a holiday in such a way that all guests, without exception, take part in a particular game, be able to win and leave the party with a souvenir.

The traditional and still best solution is to New Year in the family circle, where only the most beloved and close people are present. But still, it will be boring just to sit at the table and watch an endless stream of entertainment television programs. It is much more interesting to arrange some exciting New Year's contests for the whole family at home, in which both adults and children can participate equally. Arranging New Year's competitions for children and adults, you can unite the family even more closely and make this winter holiday even more magical and unforgettable.

"Relay of memories"

Usually, before the New Year's Eve, people see off the outgoing year, summing up its results. It can be turned into a game. Let everyone quickly and briefly name the most pleasant moments that happened to him in the outgoing year, and pass the baton to another. Those who could not quickly pick it up and continue with their memories become the loser, but for this they are awarded the title of “lucky 2017”. At the same time, the manifestation of a sense of humor by the audience is welcome.

"Draw a Dream"

When choosing New Year's contests for a small company, you can pay attention to the following. Its participants are provided with sheets of paper and felt-tip pens, colored crayons or pencils. Then they are blindfolded, and after that they blindly have to try to draw their dream. When all the participants have finished their work, they take off their bandages and, together with other guests, try to guess what kind of dream was depicted on each canvas. The winner of the competition receives a small prize, and the rest of the artists have to believe in the realization of their dreams in the coming year.

"Funny drawings"

You need to get a large sheet of corrugated cardboard, in the middle of which make two holes for the hands. Then the participants of the competition should alternately stick their hands into these holes and, not seeing what they are doing, try to draw something, for example, Santa Claus. This fun competition for adults for the New Year, the winner is the one who gets the most beautiful or funny drawing.

"Not a Word of Truth"

The host for this competition must prepare in advance many questions on the New Year theme, for example:

• which plant is more often decorated for the New Year;
• whom it is customary to sculpt from snow;
• what is our most "New Year's" film;
• that on New Year's Eve rushes into the sky;
• whose year is coming according to the Chinese calendar;
• who we see on TV screens last in the outgoing year.

It is possible to include questions on the topic of guest habits or New Year's traditions among different nations in family competitions at the New Year's table. In general, the more questions there are and the more diverse they are, the more interesting it will be for everyone to participate in this competition.

The host should quickly and in a major way ask his questions, and the guests should answer them in such a way that there is not a word of truth. A gaping player who has told the truth is waiting for a fanta - to sing a song, read a poem or fulfill the wish of one of the participants, just as it happens in the classic game of forfeits.

"Christmas Talisman"

Thinking over the script for the New Year in the family, competitions can be chosen with a creative bias. For example, make a New Year's talisman from stationery (adhesive tape, pins, paper clips), plasticine and even food. Each participant in the competition is offered the task of molding a talisman for one of the participants in the feast from the proposed materials in 2-3 minutes. The winner is the one who not only designed the most impressive talisman, but also accompanied it with the most convincing or original explanations on why it is needed.

"Remembering the Alphabet"

New Year's competitions for adult company you can include such entertainment. In the midst of the feast, the host turns to the guests and says that he has taken so much that he has already forgotten the alphabet. On this occasion, he proposes to raise glasses and make toasts to the New Year, which should begin at alphabetical order. Next comes the turn of the guests, who must invent toasts, starting with the letter "A" and then alphabetically. For example, these:

• Why don't we repeat it for the New Year?
• Be healthy in the coming year!
• To your health!
• Brilliant thoughts for everyone this year!

When the audience is exhausted and the last toast is delivered, everyone should vote for the most successful or cheerful toast and drink to the health of its author.

"Make your favorite cabbage"

Agree that the funniest novelties of adult contests for the New Year should be held with the participation of couples. The essence of entertainment is that one of the couple is blindfolded, after which he must blindly dress up his partner. Here, preliminary preparation is required - in a large bag you need to put a variety of clothes, preferably incompatible in style, color, etc. Thanks to this, the “outfit” will turn out to be very funny, it will cause fun for all guests.

You can add competitive principles to this game by having different couples compete in the speed of dressing. And at the end of the competition, until the wonderful outfits are removed, you can pose in front of the camera in them.

"Snowballs"

Such funny New Year's contests for children and adults, like playing snowballs, are especially win-win. Moreover, you can give yourself such pleasure without going out into the street. Before each participant, you need to put a large pile of old newspapers, after which the presenter marks the time in 1 minute, during which the competitors must make as much snow as possible.

There is also a more dynamic version of the game of snowballs, which is designed for accuracy. At the same time, put the participants in a row and put a personal bucket at an equal distance from each. Then, on command, everyone begins to crumple the newspapers, forming "snowballs" and throwing them into their basket. After a minute or two, the game stops and the baskets are checked - the winner is the one whose catch is richer.

"Frost Breath"

For this fun entertainment you need to line up everyone in front of an empty table, on which to lay out small snowflakes cut out of paper. Then, on command, all participants begin to blow on their snowflakes with all their might, trying to make them fall from the opposite end of the table. As soon as the last snowflake falls from the table, the competition ends. And the winner, unexpectedly, is the one whose snowflake lasted the longest on the table - all thanks to his frosty breath, because of which it froze to the table.

Be sure to take a couple of contests from our article "Children's Contests for the New Year", then neither adults nor children will be bored.

"Secret Name"

Competitions for the New Year in the family circle on this topic can have two options. On the back of each family member participating in the game, you need to attach a piece of paper on which his new name will be written (you can use the name of an animal or the name of a well-known person). And then, throughout the New Year's Eve, all those gathered can hint to each other on new names. The one who first guesses what his name is now will become the winner of this fun contest.

In the second version of this game, everyone can ask leading questions about their own name, but should receive only one-word answers like “yes” or “no”. In the end, he will be able to guess his new name, and then the turn to guess passes to another player.

"MPS"

When choosing intellectual and funny New Year's competitions for the family at the table, you cannot pass by such entertainment:

A volunteer is selected from among the participants. The rules of the game are explained to all participants in the game - the guesser can ask any questions to any of those sitting at the table in any order, but he will receive only “yes” and “no” answers. It is also impossible to try to guess what MPS is by spelling. Then, for a moment, the player leaves the room, and it is explained to all participants what MPS is - this is my right neighbor. That is, each person sitting at the table should, when answering a question, keep in mind his neighbor on the right. Since each participant in the game has his own right neighbor, the answers to the same questions from different participants may be different (for example, for some it is a man, and for others it is a woman), which only confuses the guessing player. By the way, not everyone, in the end, manages to guess what MPS is.

Check out our article “Competitions for the New Year's Corporate Party” - perhaps you will also find suitable contests for the family circle in it.

"Surprise Ball"

Fun contests for the New Year for the family can beat wishes. To do this, you need to place pieces of paper with written wishes in advance in rubber balls and then inflate them. Each household will choose the balloon they like, burst it and read a wish for the coming year for everyone.

"Funny Numbers"

Everyone who celebrates the holiday needs to be given a piece of paper and a pencil so that everyone writes any number. After that, the facilitator begins to voice questions addressed to each specific person, and the number written on the sheet will be the answer. Suitable questions are required here, such as:

• What time do you get up?
• How old are you?
• How many chili peppers can you eat in one sitting?

"Twins"

This game can be attributed to the most fun competitions for the New Year for the family. Couples of different generations should participate here: a mother with a son or a father with a daughter. With one hand, the couple hugs the waist, while the other two hands remain free. In this state, the “Siamese twins” will need to cut out the figure: one will have to hold the paper, and the second will manipulate the scissors. The “Shiva” whose figure will turn out to be more successful will win.

Funny Games and contests for the whole family on family day and family holidays.

Zhmurki

This game turns out to be active and fun. People have known her since childhood. At the same time, Zhmurki always turns out to be popular and enjoyable entertainment at family holidays. Even adults will be happy to take part in this game.

The essence of this game is really simple. First you need to choose a driver. He needs to be blindfolded. The rest of the players should stand around the driver facing the center. After the signal is issued, the driver must catch the participants who will run away and dodge in every possible way. The caught participant must be guessed by touch. If the presenter managed to guess the person, the person caught will perform his duties. The winner will be only the participant who practically could not be caught.

It is important to note that at first the driver must be an adult, as in this case it is possible to show how existing duties should be carried out. People need to understand how to play at home without unnecessary risks and destruction. Children should scatter only within a certain area, which will comply with the rules and safety regulations. In fact, unwanted consequences can be prevented.

stay in the circle

This game is fun and lively, active. Each participant should play only "for himself", but at the same time, family pastime will certainly bring a lot of pleasant emotions.

Draw a circle on the ground large sizes. Playing people (the number can reach up to 10) stand in a circle with only 1 leg and cross their arms over their chest. After the signal is received, all participants must push using their shoulders. The main task is to push partners out of the circle. When pushing, do not use your hands. A participant is excluded from the game if he flew out of the circle or became two feet into it. As a result, only 2 people will remain in the circle, who arrange a duel with a decisive result.

rushes

This game suitable only for the family that loves active entertainment. All participants must gather in a place from which a wonderful view of the surrounding landscape will open. Ideally, this area should grow various plants. The leader should shout the dashes at the expense of one, two, three. In this case, you need to name the plant that grows on the territory. Participants must run to the named object, but at the same time they need to change the destination halfway through. In order to play successfully, you need to quickly navigate. If the participant did not have time to turn or did not hear the command change, he is eliminated. So you need to play until the last player who turns out to be the winner.

Harmful ponytail

Participants must line up together, creating a chain-train. They will need to hold on to each other's waists. Then the participants all squat down together.

The host reports that they are a large caterpillar. He should ask to show a variety of actions, namely how she sleeps and wakes up, washes, exercises, walks, dances, reads, eats. Last Man should interfere with the caterpillar, which will perform all actions in a coordinated pattern. Most often, a child is at the end of the tail, but perhaps another family member will be more restless.

Masquerade

For the game you will need the following props: a bag of large sizes and different clothes. Try to use bright and unusual things. You can use underwear, national outfits, various accessories, leggings, Evening Dress. All clothes must be collected in 1 bag. Then a presenter is selected, who will also play the role of a DJ. The leader turns on the music, to which the participants must dance and pass the bag to each other. After the music is turned off, the contestant who has the bag will randomly pull out any item of clothing and put it on. The game can continue until all items are worn by the participants. In fact, the effect of surprise will largely bring pleasure and cause vivid emotions.

You must be prepared for the fact that the thing that the participant will get may turn out to be unusual. Everyone will look unusual and funny.

Libmo or Obstacle Dance

Here you can offer the traditional Latin American fun - passing under the rope with dance moves. The rope, if you remember, must be lowered by 10 cm after each passage.
The rope can, on the contrary, be pulled at the bottom and gradually raised to the level of the adult's waist. First 10 cm from the floor, then higher. Gradually, those participants who can jump high remain from each team. We reward!

Strong man with lemonade

Usually the competition is held with a five-liter barrel of beer, but we have a family holiday, we will replace it with lemonade. Let dad get a sweet drink for the family. Men need to hold a bag with bottles or boxes of juice (5 liters in total) on their outstretched arm for as long as possible. The winner takes all.

Dance battle or flash mob

We have no time to prepare and rehearse, so the musical composition should come as a surprise to the team and the audience. Announce a competition and build the whole family on stage. The task is to get involved in the music as quickly as possible and demonstrate to everyone together the dance elements characteristic of each case.

Watch out for the dancers! If things went well, we give the opportunity to please ourselves and the audience. If everyone in the family is shy, turn off the music after 30-40 seconds, ask the audience to support with applause.

The most common dances are: square dance, lezginka, hip-hop, rock and roll, children's duck dance, macarena, gypsy, latina, tango, cancan, lambada, dance of little swans, oriental belly dance, etc.

The most active and cheerful win, of course.

Ten chairs and one egg

For the competition, you will need two people, one egg and ten chairs. Participants are blindfolded, and they must find an egg on one of ten chairs without the help of their hands (both are looking at the same time, but their hands are tied behind their backs, since they cannot be used). The one who finds the egg first wins the competition. As a reward, you can give the winner a wooden egg, painted in gold, almost like a chicken ripples.

Sculpture "Happy family"

Give families the opportunity to confer for a minute, then your assistants close the family from prying eyes for a few seconds with a screen made of a beautiful blanket (hold by two ends). During this time, the participants create a sculpture. When everything is ready, lower the “screen”, and all the spectators enjoy the hugging parents and children. Some show extraordinary creativity, build real living pyramids, where the smallest member of the family stands on his father's shoulders.

Well

Each is given 1-2 boxes of matches. The winner is the one who, in the allotted time (1-2, max. 3 minutes, we look at the progress of the guests) will collect the highest well.

Pass the rhythm

For this game, you also need to sit in a circle. Each player puts right hand on the left knee of the neighbor on the right, and the left knee on the right knee of the neighbor on the left. The one who starts the game beats a certain rhythm with one hand on the knee of one of the neighbors. The neighbor must pass this rhythm further around the circle, in turn beating it on his neighbor's knee. And so it is repeated until the rhythm goes around the whole circle and returns to the one who asked it. Then you can go to reverse side. Believe me, as long as you manage to convey the rhythm without errors, you will laugh heartily!

Tie a handkerchief

This competition is aimed at adults, but children always like to watch them and sincerely cheer. You should prepare 2 neckerchiefs for a couple of adults, which consists of a woman and a man. First you need to tie handkerchiefs around each other's necks, and then untie them with your teeth. In this case, the hands cannot be used. Children, no doubt, will be very interesting to watch what is happening.

most attentive

The game is played at the table, but at the same time it turns out to be interesting. The number of participants can be 2 - 3.

The presenter must tell a story in a few dozen phrases, but when pronouncing the number 3, you need to take a prize. In this case, the text should include a sufficient number of various numbers, and 3 should be left at the very end.

In a plate

The game must be played during the meal, but on Family Day you can arrange family dinner. The host calls any letter. The rest of the participants must name the item with a letter, but only if it is present on their plate. The person who completes the task first becomes the leader. The driver who said the letter, which was not followed by options, receives a prize. It is important to note that the following letters are prohibited: e, i, b, b, s.

Salki with a ball

This game promises to be more dynamic and interesting than tags. Among the main tasks, it should be noted the training of such skills as running, jumping, dodging. If desired, you can use a tennis or rag ball, because it is thanks to him play activity becomes more active and intense. The main task is to firmly tie the ball to a rope about 3 - 4 meters long.

The driver must lead the participants. He takes the ball and winds the rope around his hand.

The participants run away. The leader must hit the players with the ball. It is impossible to spin the ball by the rope, which significantly complicates the task and makes the game exciting. After the leader hit the participant with the ball, he changes places with him.

The game ends successfully only after everyone is tired.

What's in my name?

The game promises to give a lot of fun for the whole evening. First you need to attach cards with the names of plants and animals, various objects. These "names" can be seen by anyone, but they must not be visible to the participant. During the whole evening you need to ask leading questions to find out the name. Questions should be simple, but they should only require a definite answer, namely “yes” or “no”. People who break the current rules are out of the game.
