TOP 5 GAMES

TOP 5 fun GAMES for the company at the table

Entrance denied

Such fun is great to start a feast. Before each guest sits down, he must complete some task. It should not be difficult, for example, to say a compliment to the presenter.

drunk couple

For the competition, you will need several bottles of drinks and glasses. Those who wish to participate are divided into two. One of the couple takes a bottle, and the second - a glass.

At the sign, everyone tries to fill the glasses as accurately as possible. But at the same time, it is forbidden to take the bottle with your hands. The victory goes to the couple that copes faster and more conscientiously.

Telepath

Several teams with a small number of participants are selected at the table. Everyone raises their right hand, clenched into a fist. After the command of the leading "telepath", the players unclench an arbitrary number of fingers.

The point of the game is for one of the teams to show the same number. Talking is prohibited. But the participants can try to negotiate in a different way, such as coughing or knocking.

Fanta

One of the participants turns his back to everyone. The host points to any person present and asks the question “what should this phantom do?”. Assignments should be very funny, for example:

  • raise your hands to the sky and ask the aliens to take you back home;
  • congratulate passing people on some holiday;
  • drink a glass of highly salted water;
  • print a photo of a caterpillar and ask everyone you meet if they saw your runaway pet;
  • sing a whole song at the bus stop.

The most interesting thing is that the person who gives the task can randomly choose it for himself. Although the game is already old, it guarantees a festive mood.

We shared an orange

For the next fun you will need oranges, knives and any number of teams. Each group must choose a captain. It is he who starts the game and ends it.

At the signal of the facilitator, the group should take turns peeling the orange, divide it into slices and eat. The captain needs to start the process and eat the last slice. The fastest team wins.

Conductor

The host plays a familiar song. When he raises his hand, everyone sings; when he lowers it, they are silent. Participants who make a mistake are out of the game.

Victory goes to the most attentive. To make the game more intense, the facilitator can use his hand very quickly. He can confuse everyone by continuing to sing when he doesn't have to.

The most nimble

For such fun, you will need alcoholic drinks and glasses. The latter should be less than the participants. The host pours alcohol and gives a signal, turning on the music.

When everyone sitting hears the song, they dance around the table. As soon as the music stops playing, the participants take apart the glasses. Those who are left with nothing are out of the game.

After the first round, the game continues again. For a change, the degree of drinks can be gradually increased. The competition ends only when one winner remains.

During the game, remove the excess from the table. Otherwise, the dishes standing on the edge may be broken.

How would you do if?

The host asks various questions players. For example, what would you do if:

  • aliens have stolen you;
  • you spent the entire salary for three days;
  • you will not be able to use the Internet for a month;
  • you will be locked in the office.

The more ridiculous the questions, the funnier it will turn out. The winner can be determined by general vote.

Dictation

In order to play this game, you need two participants, printed stories from the Internet, juice, paper and a pen. The first player takes a small amount of juice into his mouth, but does not swallow it. He is given a sheet with a story and offered to dictate it.

The second participant tries to write down what they heard. After the competition, everyone listens to the resulting story. Usually such a game turns out to be very funny.

sweetie

One of the guests sitting at the table should stand behind them. The rest take the candy and quickly pass it to each other. The task of the driver is to catch the one in whose hands the sweet is.

Vodka

This game should be played when everyone has had enough to drink. The host gets up from the table and warns that in one minute he will figure out the most drunk of the guests.

After that, the facilitator explains that it is necessary to give the subject he named a more affectionate shade. For example, sausage - sausage, tangerine - tangerine. All guests think that sobriety is determined by the speed of response.

At such a moment, the host says the word "water". Usually at such a moment they answer “vodka”. The guest who made a mistake is awarded a diploma “who has reached the required condition” to the general laughter.

Vodohleb

For the competition you will need spoons and two large bowls filled with water. Everyone present is divided into two teams.

On a signal, everyone drinks a spoonful of water and passes the container to the next. During the fun, splashing water is not allowed. The first group to scoop out the contents of the bowl wins.

useful item

The leader gives any item to the person sitting next to him. The guest must say how you can use this thing and pass it on to the next. The one who can't figure out what benefits this item brings is the loser.
